[0035] In recent years, the development trend of display panels is towards borderless display, especially borderless display panels used in spliced displays, which have better display effects and are favored by users. In order to reduce the borders, the current mainstream method is mainly to introduce a double-sided process, and use the side printing technology of conductive silver glue to achieve the conduction of the front and back wiring of the display panel. However, the pad printing or transfer process of the conductive silver glue is difficult, resulting in low precision of the conductive silver glue after side printing, or additional laser etching process is required on the side, or the conductive silver glue is easily oxidized and corroded, resulting in a low yield of the side conductive lines, thereby reducing the quality of the display panel.
[0036] See also Figures 1 to 4 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel 100, including:
[0037] Substrate 200;
[0038] A first circuit layer 300 is located on a first side A of the substrate 200;
[0039] A second circuit layer 400 is located on the second side B of the substrate 200; and
[0040] A plurality of metal side lines 500 , located on a side surface C of the display panel 100 ;
[0041] Two adjacent metal side lines 500 are arranged with insulation intervals, and the metal side lines 500 are electrically connected to the first circuit layer 300 and the second circuit layer 400 .
[0042] The present invention bends the metal side wires at the side of the display panel to connect them to the corresponding electric wires, eliminating the risk of conductive particle overlap. At the same time, the high ductility of the metal side wires is utilized to reduce the risk of short circuit and open circuit, thereby improving the quality of the display panel.
[0043] The technical solution of the present invention is now described in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0044] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The display panel 100 includes a substrate 200, a first circuit layer 300 located on a first side A of the substrate 200, a second circuit layer 400 located on a second side B of the substrate 200, and a plurality of metal side lines 500 located on a side C of the display panel 100, wherein two adjacent metal side lines 500 are insulated and spaced apart, and the metal side lines 500 are electrically connected to the first circuit layer 300 and the second circuit layer 400.
[0045] The front and back driving circuits are electrically connected at the side C of the substrate 200 of the display panel 100. Generally, side-printed silver paste is used, and the silver paste is pressed onto the side C of the substrate 200 using a silicone rod to achieve electrical connection. However, since the silver paste used in this method is micron-sized silver particles dispersed in a solvent, there are problems such as overlapping stability between the silver particles after drying, large resistance value, easy oxidation corrosion of silver, and easy short circuit. In the actual production process, the side printing yield is low and it is basically not mass-producible.
[0046] The metal side line 500 serves as a side C connection structure of the display panel 100, connecting the first circuit layer 300 and the second circuit layer 400. One metal side line 500 is an integral independent circuit without the risk of conductive particle overlap. At the same time, the high ductility of the metal side line 500 is utilized to reduce the risk of short circuit and open circuit, thereby achieving a narrow frame of the display panel 100 and improving the quality of the display panel 100.
[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The display panel 100 also includes a plurality of first terminals 610 located on the first side A of the substrate 200, and a plurality of second terminals 620 located on the second side B of the substrate 200; the first circuit layer 300 includes a plurality of first wires 310, and the second circuit layer 400 includes a plurality of second wires 410; wherein, a first wire 310 is electrically connected to the first terminal 610, a second wire 410 is electrically connected to the second terminal 620, and a first terminal 610 is electrically connected to a second terminal 620 via a metal side line 500.
[0048] A first wire 310, a first terminal 610, a metal side line 500, a second terminal 620, and a second wire 410 constitute a signal. The first terminal 610 and the second terminal 620 facilitate the alignment and connection of the metal side line 500, connecting the first circuit layer 300 and the second circuit layer 400. The metal side line 500 is an integral independent circuit without the risk of overlapping conductive particles. At the same time, the high ductility of the metal side line 500 is utilized to reduce the risk of short circuit and open circuit, thereby improving the quality of the display panel 100.
[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The first terminal 610 is connected to the corresponding metal side line 500 by solid-state diffusion welding, and the second terminal 620 is connected to the corresponding metal side line 500 by solid-state diffusion welding.
[0050] The first terminal 610 and the metal side line 500, as well as the second terminal 620 and the metal side line 500, are connected by solid-state diffusion welding, which are fixed by alloying and have low contact resistance. The connection is made by solid-state diffusion welding technology, and the heating temperature is low, which does not need to reach the melting point of the metal. It is generally 0.5 to 0.8 times the lower melting point of the metal side line 500, the first terminal 610, and the second terminal 620. The specific temperature can be adjusted according to actual conditions. This is only an example and is not specifically limited. There is no remelted cast structure in the joint, and the physical and chemical properties of the raw materials are rarely changed, which avoids the metal side line 500 from bouncing open due to the large elastic modulus of the middle section of the metal side line 500 when the metal side line 500 is melted, thereby avoiding abnormal line connection.
[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The orthographic projection of the end of the metal side line 500 corresponding to the first terminal 610 on the first terminal 610 is located within the first terminal 610 , and the orthographic projection of the end of the metal side line 500 corresponding to the second terminal 620 on the second terminal 620 is located within the second terminal 620 .
[0052] During the manufacturing process, the connection ends between the metal side line 500 and the first terminal 610 and the second terminal 620 are modified using tools such as a clamp 810, so that the ends of the metal side line 500 are terminated inside the first terminal 610 and the second terminal 620, thereby avoiding the situation where the metal side line 500 extends too long from the terminal and causes abnormal connection with other circuits, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection and the display effect.
[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The diameter of the metal side line 500 is smaller than the distance between the geometric centers of two adjacent first terminals 610 , and the diameter of the metal side line 500 is smaller than the distance between the geometric centers of two adjacent second terminals 620 .
[0054] The diameter of the metal side line 500 should not be too large, so as to reduce the resistance and avoid abnormal connection between two adjacent metal side lines 500 to avoid electrical abnormality.
[0055] In some embodiments, the material of the metal side line 500 can be a corrosion-resistant metal with low resistivity, such as any one of gold wire, tin wire or indium wire. The stability in air or water vapor environment is higher than that of silver. Even if the metal side line 500 is exposed, it is not easily corroded and broken. At the same time, the metal wire has high ductility and is not easy to break, which can ensure the connection stability and service life.
[0056] In some embodiments, the diameter of the metal side line 500 may be less than 100 microns. Preferably, for gold wire, the resistivity of gold is small, and the diameter of the gold wire may be about 10 microns or even smaller, which is conducive to the display of high-resolution display panel 100 .
[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , the display panel 100 further includes an insulating protective layer 700 located on the metal side line 500. The insulating protective layer 700 can protect the metal side line 500, extend the service life of the metal side line 500, and improve the electrical connection stability of the metal side line 500. The material of the insulating protective layer 700 can be transparent optical glue or light shielding glue, etc. The light shielding glue can also reduce the influence of light heat on the metal side line 500. The specific material can be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is only used as an example here without specific limitation.
[0058] In some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes a light emitting device layer located on the first circuit layer 300 .
[0059] In some embodiments, the light-emitting device layer may include OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode, organic light-emitting semiconductor) materials, or may include Micro LED or Mini LED, which are not specifically limited here. Among them, Micro LED or Mini LED has the advantages of high pixel display and large size display.
[0060] In some embodiments, the substrate 200 may be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate may be a polyimide substrate, etc., which is not specifically limited herein.
[0061] In some embodiments, the Micro LED or Mini LED can be a backlight or a direct display, which is not specifically limited here.
[0062] The present invention bends the metal side wires at the side of the display panel to connect them to the corresponding electric wires, eliminating the risk of conductive particle overlap. At the same time, the high ductility of the metal side wires is utilized to reduce the risk of short circuit and open circuit, thereby improving the quality of the display panel.
[0063] See also Figure 5 The embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for manufacturing a display panel 100, comprising:
[0064] S100, providing a substrate 200;
[0065] S200, forming a first circuit layer 300 on a first side A of the substrate 200, and forming a second circuit layer 400 on a second side B of the substrate 200;
[0066] S300 , forming a plurality of metal side lines 500 with insulation intervals and electrically connected to the first circuit layer 300 and the second circuit layer 400 on the side surface C of the substrate 200 .
[0067] The present invention bends the metal side wires at the side of the display panel to connect them to the corresponding electric wires, eliminating the risk of conductive particle overlap. At the same time, the high ductility of the metal side wires is utilized to reduce the risk of short circuit and open circuit, thereby improving the quality of the display panel.

[0079] A first wire 310, a first terminal 610, a metal side line 500, a second terminal 620, and a second wire 410 constitute a signal. The first terminal 610 and the second terminal 620 facilitate the alignment and connection of the metal side line 500, connecting the first circuit layer 300 and the second circuit layer 400. The metal side line 500 is an integral independent circuit without the risk of overlapping conductive particles. At the same time, the high ductility of the metal side line 500 is utilized to reduce the risk of short circuit and open circuit, thereby improving the quality of the display panel 100.

[0083] In some embodiments, step S312 includes:

[0088] In some embodiments, step S313 includes:

[0090] S314, using solid diffusion welding, the metal material wire 501 is connected to the corresponding first terminal 610 and the corresponding second terminal 620 by solid diffusion welding, see Fig.8D .
[0091] In some embodiments, step S314 includes:

[0094] The first terminal 610 and the metal side line 500, as well as the second terminal 620 and the metal side line 500, are connected by solid-state diffusion welding, which are fixed by alloying and have low contact resistance. The connection is made by solid-state diffusion welding technology, and the heating temperature is low, which does not need to reach the melting point of the metal.

The specific temperature can be adjusted according to actual conditions. This is only an example and is not specifically limited. There is no remelted cast structure in the joint, and the physical and chemical properties of the raw materials are rarely changed, which avoids the metal side line 500 from bouncing open due to the large elastic modulus of the middle section of the metal side line 500 when the metal side line 500 is melted, thereby avoiding abnormal line connection.
[0095] The front and back driving circuits are electrically connected at the side C of the substrate 200 of the display panel 100. Generally, side-printed silver paste is used, and the silver paste is pressed onto the side C of the substrate 200 using a silicone rod to achieve electrical connection. However, since the silver paste used in this method is micron-sized silver particles dispersed in a solvent, there are problems such as overlapping stability between the silver particles after drying, large resistance value, easy oxidation corrosion of silver, and easy short circuit. In the actual production process, the side printing yield is low and it is basically not mass-producible.
