Description

[0003] In the field of large-size organic light-emitting displays, white light is usually displayed in combination with color film, and the top emission mode is adopted to have a larger aperture ratio and lower power consumption. However, for large-size top-emitting display devices, the transparent cathode layer on the light-emitting side is usually a layered film layer covering the entire display area, and a high transmittance is required. Therefore, the transparent cathode designed on the light-emitting side is generally thinner, and the extremely thin transparent electrode with a large coverage area is prone to a large voltage difference between the center and the edge, which greatly affects the performance and life of the display device.

[0004] At present, the related large-size organic light-emitting display panel reduces the cathode resistance by increasing the cathode thickness.

[0032] Figure 2 This is a partial enlarged view of the display panel of the embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The cross-sectional view along the AA direction. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate is located, the display panel of the embodiment of the present application includes a substrate 1, a power signal line 7 arranged on the substrate 1, and an auxiliary electrode 2 arranged on the side of the power signal line 7 away from the substrate 1, and the maximum voltage drop of the auxiliary electrode 2 is at a point where the orthographic projection of the substrate 1 does not overlap with the maximum voltage drop of the power signal line 7 at the point where the orthographic projection of the substrate 1 is.

[0033] The display panel of the embodiment of the present application improves the problem of large voltage difference between the center and the edge of the large-size display panel by making the maximum voltage drop of the auxiliary electrode 2 and the maximum voltage drop of the power signal line 7 not overlap, thereby ensuring uniform display of the display panel.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in a direction parallel to the plane where the substrate is located, the power signal line 7 includes a first sub-signal line 701, and the first sub-signal line 701 is located in the wiring area 300 on the side of the display area 100 away from the binding area 200. At least part of the auxiliary electrode 2 is located in the display area 100 and the wiring area 300 on the side of the display area 100 away from the binding area 200, that is, part of the auxiliary electrode 2 is located in the display area 100, and part of the auxiliary electrode 2 is located in the wiring area 300 on the side of the display area 100 away from the binding area 200. The distance from the edge of the first sub-signal line 701 close to the binding area 200 to the edge of the binding area 200 close to the first sub-signal line 701 is greater than or equal to the distance from the edge of the auxiliary electrode 2 away from the binding area 200 to the edge of the binding area 200 close to the auxiliary electrode 2, that is, the first sub-signal line 701 is located on the side of the auxiliary electrode 2 away from the binding area 200, and the orthographic projection of the first sub-signal line 701 on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 2 on the substrate 1.

[0035] The display panel of the embodiment of the present application makes the first sub-signal line 701 located on the side of the auxiliary electrode 2 away from the binding area 200, so that the distance of the power signal provided by the binding area 200 to the first sub-signal line 701 is greater than the distance to the auxiliary electrode 2, so that the maximum voltage drop of the auxiliary electrode 2 does not overlap with the maximum voltage drop of the power signal line 7, thereby improving the problem of large voltage difference between the center and the edge of the large-size display panel. In addition, the display panel of the embodiment of the present application makes the first sub-signal line 701 and the auxiliary electrode 2 not overlap, so as to avoid the formation of capacitance between the first sub-signal line 701 and the auxiliary electrode 2, which affects the display uniformity.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a direction parallel to the plane where the substrate is located, the power signal line 7 also includes at least two second sub-signal lines 702, the first sub-signal line 701 extends along the first direction D1 of the substrate 1, and each second sub-signal line 702 extends along the second direction D2 of the substrate 1, one end of each second sub-signal line 702 is connected to the first sub-signal line 701, and the other end of each second sub-signal line 702 extends along the second direction D2 of the substrate 1 to the display area 100, for providing power signals to the pixel units of the display area 100. Each second sub-signal line 702 is arranged at intervals along the first direction D1 on the first sub-signal line 701. Among them, the power signal line 7 can be a VDD signal line. The first direction is different from the second direction, and for example, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the line width of the first sub-signal line 701 in the second direction D2 is greater than the line width of the second sub-signal line 702 in the first direction D1, that is, the line width of the first sub-signal line 701 in the second direction D2 as an orthographic projection of the substrate 1 is greater than the line width of the second sub-signal line 702 in the first direction D1 as an orthographic projection of the substrate 1, so that the first sub-signal line 701 can stably transmit the power signal to the second sub-signal line 702.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate is located, the first sub-signal line 701 and each second sub-signal line 702 are located on the side of the auxiliary electrode 2 close to the substrate 1. The orthographic projection of at least part of the auxiliary electrode 2 on the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one second sub-signal line 702 on the substrate 1, that is, at least one second sub-signal line 702 extends to the display area 100 and needs to pass through the side of the auxiliary electrode 2 close to the substrate 1.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a repair groove 201 is provided in the auxiliary electrode 2, and at least a portion of the repair groove 201 overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one second sub-signal line 702 on the substrate 1. The repair groove 201 is used to repair the auxiliary electrode 2 at the crossover part of the second sub-signal line 702 to avoid the formation of capacitance between the second sub-signal line 702 and the auxiliary electrode 2, which affects the display uniformity.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, the length of the orthographic projection of the repair groove 201 on the substrate 1 in the first direction D1 is greater than the line width of the second sub-signal line 702 in the first direction D1, ensuring that the overlapping area of ​​the orthographic projection of the second sub-signal line 702 on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 2 on the substrate 1 both overlap with the orthographic projection of the repair groove 201 on the substrate 1, thereby avoiding the overlap of the second sub-signal line 702 and the auxiliary electrode 2 to form a capacitor.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the auxiliary electrode 2 includes a first electrode 21 extending along the first direction D1 of the substrate 1 and at least two second electrodes 22 extending along the second direction D2 of the substrate 1, and the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 are both strip electrodes. The first electrode 21 is located in the routing area 300, and at least part of the second electrode 22 is located in the display area 100. One end of each second electrode 22 is connected to the first electrode 21, and at least two second electrodes 22 are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1 of the substrate 1 on the first electrode 21. The orthographic projection of each second electrode 22 on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of each second sub-signal line 702 on the substrate 1, so as to avoid the formation of capacitance between the second electrode 22 and the second sub-signal line 702, thereby affecting the display effect. Among them, each second electrode 22 and the first electrode 21 are integrally formed with the same material, that is, each second electrode 22 and the first electrode 21 are made of the same material and prepared by the same preparation process, thereby simplifying the process and reducing costs.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, a line width of the first electrode 21 in the second direction D2 is greater than a line width of the second electrode 22 in the first direction D1.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the distance between the edge of the first sub-signal line 701 close to the binding region 200 and the edge of the first electrode 21 away from the binding region 200 is greater than the line width of the second sub-signal line 702 in the first direction D1 and / or the line width of the second electrode 22 in the first direction D1, and the distance between the edge of the first sub-signal line 701 close to the binding region 200 and the edge of the first electrode 21 away from the binding region 200 is less than the distance between the edge of the second sub-signal line 702 close to the second electrode 22 and the edge of the second electrode 22 close to the second sub-signal line 702.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least two second electrodes 22 and at least two second sub-signal lines 702 are alternately arranged along the first direction D1 of the substrate 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the power supply signal provided to the pixel unit without affecting the display effect.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate is located, the display panel further includes a cathode 4 disposed on the side of the auxiliary electrode 2 away from the substrate 1, and at least part of the cathode 4 is located in the display area 100 and the routing area 300. The first sub-signal line 701 is located on the side of the cathode 4 away from the binding area 200, that is, the first sub-signal line 701 is closer to the edge of the substrate relative to the edge of the cathode 4. And the positive projection of the cathode 4 on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the positive projection of the first sub-signal line 701 on the substrate 1, so as to avoid the formation of a capacitor between the cathode 4 and the first sub-signal line 701.

[0046] The display panel of the embodiment of the present application sets the first sub-signal line 701 on the side of the cathode 4 away from the binding area 200. During the preparation of the display panel, it is easy to control the formation position of the first sub-signal line 701 and the cathode 4 to avoid overlapping of the first sub-signal line 701 and the cathode 4.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, in the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate is located, at least part of the positive projection of the cathode 4 on the substrate 1 overlaps with the positive projection of the auxiliary electrode 2 on the substrate 1, and at least part of the cathode 4 is in surface contact with the auxiliary electrode 2, which effectively reduces the voltage drop of the current flowing through the cathode 4, improves the problem of large voltage difference between the cathode in the center and the edge of the large-size display panel, and thus ensures the display uniformity of the display panel. Among them, at least part of the cathode 4 is in surface contact with the auxiliary electrode 2, which means that at least part of the surface of the cathode 4 close to the auxiliary electrode 2 is in contact with the surface of the auxiliary electrode 2 close to the cathode 4, that is, no other film structure is set between the surface of at least part of the cathode 4 close to the auxiliary electrode 2 and the surface of the auxiliary electrode 2 close to the cathode 4.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the display panel further includes a structural film layer 3 disposed between the auxiliary electrode 2 and the cathode 4, and a groove 6 is disposed in the structural film layer 3, and at least a portion of the groove 6 is located in the wiring area 300. At least a portion of the cathode 4 is in surface contact with the auxiliary electrode 2 through the groove 6, that is, the groove 6 exposes the auxiliary electrode 2, and the cathode 4 is in surface contact with the auxiliary electrode 2 at the groove 6.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the structural film layer 3 may include multiple film layers. For example, Figure 3 As shown, in the wiring area 300 , the structural film layer 3 includes an organic insulating layer 301 disposed on the auxiliary electrode 2 at a side away from the substrate 1 and a first pixel defining layer 302 disposed on a side of the organic insulating layer 301 away from the substrate 1 .

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1As shown, the structural film layer 3 is provided with a lap hole 140, and the lap hole 140 is located in the display area 100. At least part of the cathode 4 is connected to the auxiliary electrode 2 through the lap hole 140. The cathode 4 in the display panel of the present application is connected to the auxiliary electrode 2 through the lap hole 140, which effectively reduces the voltage drop of the current flowing through the cathode 4, improves the problem of large voltage difference between the center and the edge of the cathode of the large-size display panel, and thus ensures the display uniformity of the display panel.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least two overlapping holes 140 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2 of the substrate 1 to form overlapping hole columns, at least two overlapping hole columns are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1 of the substrate 1, and at least two overlapping hole columns correspond one-to-one to at least two second electrodes 22, that is, the orthographic projection of one overlapping hole column on the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of one second electrode 22 on the substrate 1, so that each second electrode 22 can be connected to the cathode 4 through the overlapping hole column.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the display panel of the present application is a top emission display panel. The cathode 4 may be a transparent electrode, thereby increasing the light transmittance of the display panel.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel unit 110 in the display area includes an effective display area, and the orthographic projection of the effective display area on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second electrode 22 on the substrate 1. The effective display area is an opening area of ​​each pixel unit, so as to avoid the second electrode 22 occupying the space of the effective display area and reduce the aperture ratio of the pixel unit.

[0054] A voltage drop simulation comparison experiment was conducted on the display panel of the embodiment of the present application and the display panel of the related art, wherein the cathode and the auxiliary electrode in the display panel of the related art are connected through a lap hole. The power signal line is a VDD signal line, and the simulation comparison experiment results are shown in Table 1.

[0055] Table 1 Comparative experiment on voltage drop between the display panel of the present embodiment and the display panel of the related art

[0056]

[0057] According to the simulation comparison experimental results, the total current of each pixel unit column is 4.79mA. When the auxiliary electrode has different contact impedances in the overlap hole, the display panel of the embodiment of the present application reduces the maximum voltage drop of the VDD signal line to 1.876V when the overlap hole resistance is 200KΩ, while the maximum voltage drop of the power signal line of the display panel of the related art is 2.338V. The maximum voltage drop of the VSS signal line of the display panel of the embodiment of the present application is near the middle of the display panel, and the corresponding voltage drop of the VDD signal line is not at the maximum at this time, which further reduces the display impact caused by the voltage drop.

[0058] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the maximum voltage drop of the display panel of the present application embodiment and the display panel of the related art at the display panel position. Figure 4 As shown, the maximum voltage drop of the auxiliary electrode of the display panel of the embodiment of the present application is near the middle of the display panel, and the maximum voltage drop of the corresponding VDD signal line (power signal line) is not the maximum point, that is, the maximum voltage drop of the auxiliary electrode is located at the position of the display panel and the maximum voltage drop of the power signal line is not overlapped at the position of the display panel. In addition, the maximum voltage drop value of the display panel of the embodiment of the present application is effectively reduced compared with the display panel of the related art, and the voltage drop value of the VDD signal line and the VSS signal line are effectively reduced, thereby reducing (eliminating) the uneven display effect caused by the voltage drop of the display panel.

[0059] The embodiment of the present application provides a display device, including the aforementioned display panel. The display device includes a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart wearable product (such as a smart watch, a bracelet, etc.), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a car computer, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific form of the above-mentioned foldable display device.
