[0034] The following is a detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0035] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a top view of a display panel 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The top-emitting display panel 100 is shown in FIG. Figure 1 An AA' cross-sectional view in Figure 3 The bottom-emitting display panel 100 is shown in FIG. Figure 1 For an AA' cross-section diagram, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a substrate 10 and an array layer 20, and a surface of the display panel 100 close to the light emitting surface is a first surface 101;
[0036] The array layer 20 includes a first groove 21 and a second groove 22, wherein a first light emitting unit 23 is disposed in the first groove 21, and a second light emitting unit 24 is disposed in the second groove 22, wherein the wavelength of the first light emitting unit 23 is greater than the wavelength of the second light emitting unit 24;
[0037] In a direction perpendicular to the plane where the display panel 100 is located, the distance from the side surface of the first light emitting unit 23 close to the first surface 101 to the first surface 101 is h1, and the distance from the side surface of the second light emitting unit 24 close to the first surface 101 to the first surface 101 is h2, where h1 <h2。
[0038] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The display panel 100 provided in this embodiment includes a substrate 10 and an array layer 20, wherein the array layer 20 includes a first groove 21 and a second groove 22, a first light-emitting unit 23 is arranged in the first groove 21, and a second light-emitting unit 24 is arranged in the second groove 22, and the wavelength of the first light-emitting unit 23 is greater than the wavelength of the second light-emitting unit 24. Here, the first light-emitting unit 23 can be, for example, a red light-emitting unit, and the second light-emitting unit 24 can be, for example, a green or blue light-emitting unit, and the light-emitting efficiency of the first light-emitting unit 23 is lower than the light-emitting efficiency of the second light-emitting unit 24.
[0039] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The surface of the display panel 100 close to the light emitting surface is the first surface 101. Figure 2 The display panel 100 shown in the figure has light emitting from the top surface, and the first surface 101 is located on the side of the array layer 20 away from the substrate 10. Figure 3 The display panel 100 shown is a bottom-emitting display panel, and the first surface 101 is located on the side of the substrate 10 away from the array layer 20. In a direction perpendicular to the plane where the display panel 100 is located, the distance from the side of the first light-emitting unit 23 close to the first surface to the first surface 101 is h1, and the distance from the side of the second light-emitting unit 24 close to the first surface 101 to the first surface 101 is h2. Regardless of whether it is a bottom-emitting display panel 100 or a top-emitting display panel 100, h1 is smaller than h2.
[0040] It should be noted that when the display panel is a bottom-emitting display panel, the wiring of the array layer 20 does not overlap with the light-emitting unit in the direction perpendicular to the display panel, and the metal wiring of the array layer 20 will not be blocked by the bottom-emitting light-emitting unit, thereby ensuring normal light emission of the display panel.
[0041] In the present application, a groove is arranged on the array layer 20, the first light emitting unit 23 is located in the first groove 21, the second light emitting unit 24 is located in the second groove 22, the distance from the side surface of the first light emitting unit 23 close to the first surface 101 to the first surface 101 is h1, and the distance from the side surface of the second light emitting unit 24 close to the first surface 101 to the first surface 101 is h2. By setting the first groove 21 and the second groove 22 to have different depths perpendicular to the plane where the display panel 100 is located, it is ensured that the distance h1 from one side of the light emitting surface of the first light emitting unit 23 to the first surface 101 is smaller than the distance h2 from one side of the light emitting surface of the second light emitting unit 24 to the first surface 101, so that the optical path of the first light emitting unit 23 is smaller than the optical path of the second light emitting unit 24, and the light loss of the first light emitting unit 23 is reduced, so that the light emitting efficiency of the first light emitting unit 23 can be improved, and the light emitting efficiency of the first light emitting unit 23 and the light emitting efficiency of the second light emitting unit 24 are balanced, so that the brightness uniformity of the display panel 100 can be improved, and then the display effect can be improved.
[0042] It should be noted that Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is only a schematic illustration of the positions of the first light-emitting unit 23 and the second light-emitting unit 24 on the array layer 20 , and does not represent the specific size and structure of the first light-emitting unit 23 and the second light-emitting unit 24 , nor the specific size and number of the first groove 21 and the second groove 22 . Figure 2 and Figure 3 Here, h1 and h2 are only used to schematically illustrate that the distance from the light-emitting surface of the first light-emitting unit 23 to the first surface 101 is smaller than the distance from the light-emitting surface of the second light-emitting unit 24 to the first surface 101, and do not represent the actual distances from the first light-emitting unit 23 and the second light-emitting unit 24 to the first surface 101.
[0043] also, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first surface 101 indicated in the figure is only to illustrate that the first surface 101 is located on the side of the display panel 100 close to the light emitting surface, and does not mean that the side of the array layer 20 away from the substrate 10 is the first surface 101, nor does it mean that the side of the substrate 10 away from the array layer 20 is the first surface 101. In the actual structure of the display panel 100, in addition to the substrate 10 and the array layer 20 shown in the figure, other film layers are also included, such as an organic layer, a cover plate, etc. When the display panel 100 includes a cover plate, the surface of the cover plate away from the substrate 10 is the first surface 101.
[0044] Optionally, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, along the first direction, the bottom width of the first groove 21 is L1, the bottom width of the second groove 22 is L2, L1=L2; wherein the first direction is the direction from the first groove 21 to the second groove 22. For details, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the direction from the first groove 21 to the second groove 22 is the first direction. In this embodiment, along the first direction, the bottom width L1 of the first groove 21 is equal to the bottom width L2 of the second groove 22. Here, the bottom of the first groove 21 and the bottom of the second groove 22 refer to the side of the groove away from the light emitting surface. Figure 2 In the embodiment, when light is emitted from the top surface of the display panel 100, the bottom of the first groove 21 and the second groove 22 refers to the side of the groove close to the substrate 10. Figure 3 In the embodiment, when light is emitted from the bottom surface of the display panel 100 , the bottom of the first groove 21 and the second groove 22 refers to the side of the groove away from the substrate 10 .
[0045] In the present embodiment, the bottom width L1 of the first groove 21 is set to be equal to the bottom width L2 of the second groove 22. In this way, when the light extraction efficiency of the first light-emitting unit 23 and the second light-emitting unit 24 is uneven, under the premise that the bottom widths are equal, only the side wall inclination angle of the first groove 21 or the second groove 22 is adjusted to balance the light extraction efficiency of the first light-emitting unit 23 or the second light-emitting unit 24 without considering the influence of the bottom width change on the light extraction efficiency, which is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the display panel.
[0046] It should be noted that Figure 2 and Figure 3 L1 and L2 shown in the figure are only for schematically illustrating that the bottom width of the first groove 21 is equal to the bottom width of the second groove 22, and do not represent the actual width of the bottom of the groove. In practical applications, the width of the bottom of the groove can be specifically set according to actual needs, and this application does not limit this.
[0047] Optionally, Figure 4 The top-emitting display panel 100 is shown in FIG. Figure 1 Another AA' cross-section diagram in Figure 5 The bottom-emitting display panel 100 is shown in FIG. Figure 1 For another AA' cross-section diagram, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , along the first direction, the width of the first groove 21 close to the light emitting surface is L3, and the width of the second groove 22 close to the light emitting surface is L4, wherein L3>L4.
[0048] Specifically, since the wavelength of the first light emitting unit 23 is greater than that of the second light emitting unit 24, the light emitting efficiency of the first light emitting unit 23 is relatively low. In order to improve the light emitting efficiency of the first light emitting unit 23, the light emitting efficiency of the first light emitting unit 23 is balanced with that of the second light emitting unit 24. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, along the first direction, the width of the first groove 21 close to the light emitting surface is greater than the width of the second groove 22 close to the light emitting surface, so that the opening of the first light emitting unit 23 is enlarged. In this way, the light emitting area of the first light emitting unit 23 can be increased, and the forward light intensity of the first light emitting unit 23 can be improved, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the first light emitting unit 23, and balancing the luminous efficiency of the first light emitting unit 23 with the luminous efficiency of the second light emitting unit 24, thereby providing the display panel 100 with uniform brightness, thereby improving the display effect.
[0049] It should be noted that Figure 4 and Figure 5 L3 and L4 shown in the figure are only for schematically illustrating that the width of the first groove 21 close to the light emitting surface is greater than the width of the second groove 22 close to the light emitting surface, and do not represent the actual width of the groove. In practical applications, the width of the groove can be set according to actual needs, and this application does not make any specific limitation on this.
[0050] In addition, the width of the first groove 21 on the side close to the light-emitting surface is greater than the width of the second groove 22 on the side close to the light-emitting surface. This is only an implementation in this embodiment and is not a limitation of the present application. In other embodiments, the width of the first groove 21 on the side close to the light-emitting surface may also be equal to the width of the second groove 22 on the side close to the light-emitting surface.
[0051] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The extension surface of the bottom of the first groove 21 along the first direction is the first extension surface 25, and the extension surface of the bottom of the second groove 22 along the first direction is the second extension surface 26; the angle between the side wall 210 of the first groove 21 and the first extension surface 25 is θ3, and the angle between the side wall of the second groove 22 and the second extension surface 26 is θ4, wherein θ3≤θ4<90°.
[0052] For details, please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bottom of the first groove 21 extends along the first direction to form a first extension surface 25, and the bottom of the second groove 22 extends along the first direction to form a second extension surface 26, wherein the bottom of the first groove 21 and the bottom of the second groove 22 refer to the side of the groove away from the light emitting surface. Figure 4In the embodiment, when light is emitted from the top surface of the display panel 100, the bottom of the first groove 21 and the second groove 22 refers to the side of the groove close to the substrate 10. Figure 5 In the embodiment, when light is emitted from the bottom surface of the display panel 100 , the bottom of the first groove 21 and the second groove 22 refers to the side of the groove away from the substrate 10 .
[0053] In this embodiment, the angle θ4 between the side wall of the second groove 22 and the second extension surface 26 is set to be less than 90°, so that the opening of the second groove 22 close to the light emitting surface is larger than the bottom opening, ensuring that light can be emitted to the light emitting surface of the display panel 100. In addition, since the bottom widths of the first groove 21 and the second groove 22 are the same, when the inclination angle of the first groove 21 decreases, its width close to the light emitting surface will increase accordingly. Therefore, when the angle θ3 between the side wall 210 of the first groove 21 and the first extension surface 25 is less than or equal to the angle θ4 between the side wall of the second groove 22 and the second extension surface 26, the width of the first groove 21 close to the light emitting surface is greater than or equal to the width of the second groove 22 close to the light emitting surface, that is, the opening of the first groove 21 is greater than or equal to the opening of the second groove 22. In this way, the light emitting area of the first light-emitting unit 23 can be increased, and the forward light emitting intensity of the first light-emitting unit 23 can be improved, thereby improving the light emitting efficiency of the first light-emitting unit 23, and balancing the light emitting efficiency of the first light-emitting unit 23 with the light emitting efficiency of the second light-emitting unit 24, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel 100 and further improving the display effect.
[0054] It should be noted that Figure 4 and Figure 5 θ3 and θ4 shown in the figure are only for schematically illustrating that the inclination angle of the side wall 210 of the first groove 21 is smaller than the inclination angle of the side wall of the second groove 22, and do not represent the actual structure of the groove. In practical applications, the structure of the groove can be set according to actual needs, and this application does not make specific limitations on this.
[0055] Optionally, Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a retaining wall layer 30 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 FIG. 1 is another schematic diagram of the structure of the retaining wall layer 30 provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 and Figure 7The display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes a blocking wall layer 30, the blocking wall layer 30 includes an opening 31 and a blocking wall 34, wherein the opening 31 includes a first opening 32 and a second opening 33, and the first opening 32 and the second opening 33 both penetrate the blocking wall layer 30 along a direction perpendicular to the plane where the display panel 100 is located; the orthographic projection of the first groove 21 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located is located within the orthographic projection range of the first opening 32 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located, and the orthographic projection of the second groove 22 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located is located within the orthographic projection range of the second opening 33 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located.
[0056] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The display panel 100 further includes a barrier layer 30, the barrier layer 30 includes a first opening 32, a second opening 33, and a barrier 34 between the first opening 32 and the second opening 33. The orthographic projection of the first groove 21 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located is located within the orthographic projection range of the first opening 32 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located, and the orthographic projection of the second groove 22 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located is located within the orthographic projection range of the second opening 33 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located. The light emitted by the first light-emitting unit 23 and the second light-emitting unit 24 passes through the first opening 32 and the second opening 33 to reach the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100, respectively. In order to prevent the barrier layer 30 from blocking the propagation of light, the first opening 32 and the second opening 33 both penetrate the barrier layer 30 in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the display panel 100 is located. In this way, there is no barrier 34 to block the light on the light propagation path, which is conducive to reducing the amount of light loss and improving the light extraction efficiency, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 7 When the display panel 100 emits light from the bottom surface, a cover plate 40 is provided on the side away from the first surface 101, and the cover plate 40 is an opaque cover plate. The display panel also includes a first reflective layer 41 and a second reflective layer 42. The orthographic projection of the first reflective layer 41 on the cover plate 40 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first groove 21 on the cover plate 40, and the orthographic projection of the second reflective layer 42 on the cover plate 40 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second groove 22 on the cover plate 40. The light of the light-emitting unit is reflected by the first reflective layer 41 and the second reflective layer 42, so that more light is propagated in the light-emitting direction, thereby reducing the amount of light loss. In addition, a retaining wall 34 can be provided on the side of the array layer 20 away from the first surface 101 to further prevent light crosstalk.
[0058] Optionally, please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The retaining wall 34 includes a first bottom surface 341 away from the first surface 101, the angle between the side wall of the first opening 32 and the first bottom surface 341 is θ1, and the angle between the side wall of the second opening 33 and the first bottom surface 341 is θ2; wherein θ1=θ2.
[0059] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the side of the retaining wall 34 away from the first surface 101 is the first bottom surface 341, the angle θ1 between the side wall of the first opening 32 and the first bottom surface 341 is equal to the angle θ2 between the side wall of the second opening 33 and the first bottom surface 341, that is, the side walls of the first opening 32 and the second opening 33 have the same inclination angle, and the first opening 32 and the second opening 33 have the same degree of influence on the light. When performing light balance, there is no need to consider the different influences on the light due to different openings, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the display panel 100. In addition, when the side walls of the first opening 32 and the second opening 33 have the same inclination angle, the first opening 32 and the second opening 33 can be formed in one etching process, which is conducive to reducing the process and further reducing the complexity of manufacturing the display panel.
[0060] It should be noted that Figure 6 and Figure 7 θ1 and θ2 shown in the figure are only for schematically illustrating that the side wall inclination angles of the first opening 32 and the second opening 33 are the same, and do not represent the actual structure of the first opening 32 and the second opening 33. In actual applications, the structure of the first opening 32 and the second opening 33 can be set according to actual needs, and this application does not make any specific limitation on this.
[0061] Optionally, Figure 8 The figure shows a structural schematic diagram of the angle relationship between the opening and the groove provided in the embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9 Another schematic diagram of the angle relationship between the opening and the groove provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The extension surface of the bottom of the first groove 21 along the first direction is the first extension surface 25, and the extension surface of the bottom of the second groove 22 along the first direction is the second extension surface 26; the angle between the side wall 210 of the first groove 21 and the first extension surface 25 is θ3, and the angle between the side wall of the second groove 22 and the second extension surface 26 is θ4; wherein the first direction is the direction from the first groove 21 to the second groove 22; at least part of the side walls of the first opening 32 and the second opening 33 are provided with a reflective layer 35, θ3<θ1<θ4.
[0062] For details, please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9, the direction from the first groove 21 to the second groove 22 is the first direction.

The sidewall 210 of the first groove 21 includes a first sidewall 212 and a second sidewall 213. The first sidewall 212 is located between the second sidewall 213 and the bottom of the first groove 21. Here, the bottom of the first groove 21 refers to the side of the groove away from the light emitting surface.

Specifically, under normal circumstances, the wavelength of red light is greater than the wavelength of green light, and the wavelength of green light is greater than the wavelength of blue light. The light-emitting efficiency of the red light-emitting unit is the lowest, and the light-emitting efficiency of the blue light-emitting unit is the highest. In order to balance the light-emitting efficiency of the red, green, and blue light-emitting units and make the display panel 100 display uniformly, in this embodiment, the first light-emitting unit 23 is set to be a red light-emitting unit, the second light-emitting unit 24 is a blue light-emitting unit, and the third light-emitting unit 28 is a green light-emitting unit, so that the optical path of the red light-emitting unit is smaller than the optical path of the green light-emitting unit, and the optical path of the green light-emitting unit is smaller than the optical path of the blue light-emitting unit.
