[0002] With the continuous development of display technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for the display quality of display devices. As a new type of light-emitting material, light conversion material has the advantages of concentrated emission spectrum, high color purity, and easy adjustment of emission color through the size, structure, or composition of the light conversion material. Light conversion ink, after solution processing, spin coating, or inkjet printing, is further cured into a film to form a light conversion color film, which is a new generation of light-emitting material for solid-state lighting and full-color flat panel displays.

[0003] The display principle of a light-conversion display device is as follows: the light-emitting unit generates light and illuminates the light-conversion color filter, thereby exciting the light-conversion color filter to emit other colors of light, thus achieving color display. However, in practical applications, it has been found that the light extraction rate (the ratio of the light intensity emitted by the light-conversion color filter area to the light intensity emitted by the corresponding light-emitting unit) of existing light-conversion display devices is relatively low.

[0056] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, a display panel, its manufacturing method, and display device provided in this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Research has revealed that the low light extraction rate of the region with the light conversion color filter in the quantum dot display device provided by related technologies is due to at least the following reasons: First, the large-angle light emitted by the light-emitting unit has high reflectivity and low transmittance when passing through other functional film layers located between the light-emitting unit and the light conversion color filter, resulting in significant light loss during propagation; second, the light emitted by the light conversion color filter after excitation is scattered light (360° scattering), and some light rays fail to escape from the display panel; third, the light conversion efficiency of the light conversion color filter itself is low. Based on the above research findings, this disclosure provides a technical solution to improve the light extraction rate of the region with the light conversion color filter in the quantum dot display device.

[0058] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the display panel is a quantum dot display panel, comprising: a first substrate 1, a light-emitting unit array, and a light-converting color filter array. The light-emitting unit array is located on one side of the first substrate 1 and includes multiple light-emitting units 2. The light-converting color filter array is located on the side of the light-emitting unit array away from the first substrate 1 and includes multiple light-converting color filters 3. Each light-converting color filter 3 corresponds to one light-emitting unit 2, and different light-converting color filters 3 correspond to different light-emitting units 2. The light-emitting units 2 are used to generate and emit a first color light, and the light-converting color filters 3 are used to generate other colors of light under the excitation of the first color light. The wavelength of the first color light is shorter than the wavelength of the other colors of light.

[0059] In this embodiment, the light-emitting unit 2 includes an organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The OLED includes a cathode and an anode disposed opposite each other, and an organic functional layer located between the cathode and anode. The organic functional layer includes at least an organic light-emitting layer, and may also include functional film layers such as a hole transport layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron blocking layer, depending on actual needs. Generally, each light-emitting unit 2 is configured with a corresponding driving circuit, which includes a driving transistor. The driving circuit is electrically connected to the corresponding light-emitting unit 2 to drive the light-emitting unit 2 to emit light.

[0060] In some embodiments, the material of the light conversion color filter 3 includes quantum dot materials.

[0061] The display panel further includes a first bandpass filter layer 4, located between the light-emitting unit array and the light conversion color filter array, comprising a first light-concentrating structure 41 and a first bandpass filter structure 42 located on the side of the first light-concentrating structure 41 away from the first substrate 1. The first light-concentrating structure 41 is configured to concentrate light, and the first bandpass filter structure 42 is configured to transmit first color light and reflect other color light.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first color light emitted by the light-emitting unit 2 is focused by the first light-concentrating structure 41 and then incident at a small angle (the angle between the light ray and the normal to the plane of the first substrate 1) onto the first bandpass filter structure 42. At this time, most or even all of the first color light can pass through the first bandpass filter structure 42 and be directed towards the light conversion color filter 3, thereby reducing light loss during light propagation. In addition, by focusing the light through the first light-concentrating structure 41, the light transmission effect of the first bandpass filter structure 42 on the first color light can also be improved, which will be described in detail below. After being irradiated by the first color light, the light conversion color filter 3 excites other colors of light and scatters them. Among them, the other colors of light facing away from the light-emitting side of the display panel are reflected after irradiating the first bandpass filter structure 42. The reflected light is emitted from the light-emitting side of the display panel, thereby increasing the light output of the area where the light conversion color filter 3 is located, and thus improving the light extraction rate of the area of ​​the light conversion color filter 3.

[0063] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another display panel structure provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figure 2 As shown, with Figure 1 The difference is that the display panel shown is that... Figure 2 The display panel shown does not include the first bandpass filter layer 4, but does include a second bandpass filter layer 5. The second bandpass filter layer 5 is located on the side of the light conversion color filter array away from the light-emitting unit array. The second bandpass filter layer 5 includes a second light-concentrating structure 51 and a second bandpass filter structure 52 located on the side of the second light-concentrating structure 51 away from the first substrate 1. The second light-concentrating structure 51 is configured to concentrate light, and the second bandpass filter structure 52 is configured to transmit other colors of light and reflect the first color of light.

[0064] In this embodiment, other colors of light emitted by the light-converting color filter 3 are focused by the second focusing structure 51 and then incident at a small angle onto the second bandpass filter structure 52. At this time, most or even all of the other colors of light can pass through the second bandpass filter structure 52 and be directed towards the light-converting color filter 3, thereby reducing light loss during light propagation. In addition, by focusing the light through the second focusing structure 51, the reflection effect of the second bandpass filter structure 52 on the first color of light and the light transmission efficiency of other colors of light can be improved. This will be described in detail below. At the same time, some of the first color of light will pass through the light-converting color filter 3 and be directed towards the second bandpass filter layer 5. The first color of light directed towards the second bandpass filter layer 5 will be reflected by the second bandpass filter structure 52 and then be directed back towards the light-converting color filter 3 to excite the light-converting color filter 3 to emit other colors of light, thereby improving the light conversion efficiency of the light-converting color filter 3 and thus improving the light extraction efficiency of the region of the light-converting color filter 3.

[0065] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another display panel provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The display panel shown also includes Figure 1 The first bandpass filter layer 4 and Figure 2 The second bandpass filter layer 5 is provided. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by simultaneously providing the first bandpass filter layer 4 and the second bandpass filter layer 5, the light extraction efficiency of the light conversion color filter 3 region can be further improved.

[0066] Figure 4a This is a schematic diagram of a structure of the first bandpass filter layer 4 in an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 4a As shown, in some embodiments, the first bandpass filter structure 42 is a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) structure. That is, the first bandpass filter structure 42 is formed by alternating layers of high-refractive-index films 421 and 423 (which can be fabricated from nanoscale materials) and low-refractive-index films 422 and 424 (which can be fabricated from nanoscale materials), achieving a filtering effect through light interference. When there are multiple layers of high-refractive-index films 421 and 423 and low-refractive-index films 422 and 424, the refractive indices of different high-refractive-index films 421 and 423 can be the same or different, and the refractive indices of different low-refractive-index films 422 and 424 can also be the same or different. It is only necessary to ensure that the refractive index of each high-refractive-index film 421 and 423 is greater than that of its adjacent low-refractive-index film 422 and 424, and that the refractive index of each low-refractive-index film 422 and 424 is less than that of its adjacent high-refractive-index film 421 and 423.

[0067] The thickness d of each thin film within the distributed Bragg reflector structure satisfies: q is a positive integer, λ is the center wavelength of the reflection band (also called the filter band), and θ is the angle of incidence. Therefore, given the values ​​of d, q, and n, the reflection and transmission bands of the distributed Bragg reflection structure will change for light rays with different angles of incidence. In practical applications, it has been found that when the angle θ increases, the reflection band shifts towards shorter wavelengths. That is, when designing the first bandpass filter structure 42 with a distributed Bragg reflection structure based on the bands of other colors of light as reflection waves, the first bandpass filter structure 42 will reflect the first color light incident at a large angle, causing the overall transmittance of the first color light to decrease. To address this, in this embodiment, the first bandpass filter structure 42 is used in conjunction with the first focusing structure 41. By focusing the first color light so that the first color light incident on the first bandpass filter structure 42 is at a small angle, the filtering of the first color light by the first bandpass filter structure 42 can be reduced, thereby improving the light transmittance of the first color light and improving the light extraction rate of the light conversion color filter 3 region.

[0068] Figure 4b This is a schematic diagram of a structure of the second bandpass filter layer 5 in an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 4b As shown, the second bandpass filter structure 52 has the same structure as the first bandpass filter structure 42, that is, the second bandpass filter structure 52 is formed by alternating layers of high refractive index thin films 521 and 523 (which can be prepared from nanoscale materials) and low refractive index thin films 522 and 524 (which can be prepared from nanoscale materials). Based on the same principle discussed above, in this embodiment, the second bandpass filter structure 52 is used in conjunction with the second focusing structure 51. By focusing the first color light transmitted through the light conversion color filter 3 and other color light generated by the light conversion color filter 3, the first color light and other color light incident on the second bandpass filter structure 52 are small-angle incident light, thereby improving the reflectivity of the second bandpass filter structure 52 for the first color light and the transmittance for other color light, which is beneficial to improving the light extraction rate of the light conversion color filter 3 region.

[0069] It should be noted that, Figure 4a Figure 4 only illustrates the case where the first bandpass filter structure 42 and the second bandpass filter structure 52 contain four stacked thin films. This case is only for illustrative purposes and does not limit the technical solution of this disclosure.

[0070] Continue to participate Figure 4aAs shown, in some embodiments, the first focusing structure 41 includes a plurality of first collimating lenses, each corresponding to a light-emitting unit 2. In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a first transparent resin layer 8 located between the light-emitting unit array and the light-converting color filter array, with the first collimating lens embedded in the first transparent resin layer 8. In some embodiments, the first collimating lens is a plano-convex lens, with its convex surface facing the first substrate 1 and its planar surface facing away from the first substrate 1.

[0071] Continue to participate Figure 4b As shown, in some embodiments, the second focusing structure 51 includes a plurality of second collimating lenses, each corresponding to a light-converting color filter 3. The display panel also includes a second transparent resin layer located on the side of the light-converting color filter array away from the light-emitting unit array, with the second collimating lenses embedded in the second transparent resin layer. In some embodiments, the second collimating lens is a plano-convex lens, with its convex surface facing the first substrate 1 and its planar surface facing away from the first substrate 1.

[0072] Figure 5a This is another schematic diagram of the structure of the first bandpass filter layer 4 in an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 5a As shown, with Figure 4a The first focusing structure 41 within the first bandpass filter layer 4 shown in the diagram uses a different collimating lens than the one shown in the diagram. Figure 5a The first focusing structure 41 within the first bandpass filter layer 4 shown adopts a thin-film stacked structure. Specifically, the first focusing structure 41 includes at least two stacked first focusing films 411 and 412. Among adjacent first focusing films, the refractive index of the first focusing film 411 closer to the first substrate 1 is less than the refractive index of the first focusing film 412 farther away from the first substrate 1. That is, in the direction away from the first substrate 1, the refractive indices of each first focusing film 411 and 412 increase sequentially. When light is refracted from an optically less dense medium to an optically denser medium, if the angle of incidence is greater than 0, the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence, thereby achieving a focusing effect.

[0073] Figure 5a The illustration shows an example of a first focusing structure 41 comprising two stacked first focusing films 411 and 412. This example is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the technical solutions of this disclosure. Taking a medium with a refractive index n0 = 1.5 in contact with the lowermost first focusing film 411, a refractive index n1 = 1.78 for the lowermost first focusing film 411, and a refractive index n2 = 2.30 for the uppermost first focusing film 412 as an example, for light rays with an incident angle α0 = 50°, the angle of refraction after refracting into the lowermost first focusing film 411 is approximately α1 ≈ 40°, and the angle of refraction after refracting into the uppermost first focusing film 412 is approximately α2 ≈ 30°.

[0074] Figure 5b This is a schematic diagram of another structure of the second bandpass filter layer 5 in an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 5b As shown, with Figure 5a The structure of the first focusing structure 41 within the first bandpass filter layer 4 shown is similar. Figure 5b The second light-concentrating structure 51 in the second bandpass filter layer 5 shown includes at least two layers of second light-concentrating films 511 and 512 stacked together. The refractive index of the second light-concentrating film closer to the first substrate 1 is less than the refractive index of the second light-concentrating film farther away from the first substrate 1. Light concentration can be achieved through this stacked film structure. Figure 5b The illustration shows an example of the second light-concentrating structure 51 comprising two layers of second light-concentrating films 511 and 512 stacked together.

[0082] Figure 6The display panel shown is a type of interlocking display panel, which is formed by interlocking a first display substrate and a second display substrate. The first display substrate includes: a first substrate 1, a driving layer 6, a first pixel defining layer 16, a light-emitting unit array, and a first encapsulation layer 7; the second display substrate includes: a second substrate 17, a color resist layer 11, a second bandpass filter layer 5, a second pixel defining layer 10, a light conversion color filter array, a second encapsulation layer 9, and a first bandpass filter layer 4. The first display substrate and the second display substrate can be interlocked and fixed by a first transparent resin layer 8, and the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 17 are sealed in the peripheral area by a sealing adhesive 13.

[0083] Figures 7a to 7d A schematic diagram of the intermediate structure for fabricating the first display substrate, as shown below. Figures 7a to 7d As shown, the manufacturing process of the first display substrate is as follows: First, a first substrate 1 is provided. The first substrate 1 can be a rigid glass substrate or a flexible resin substrate. Then, see... Figure 7a As shown, a driving layer 6 is fabricated on the first substrate 1 using a thin-film transistor (TFT) array process. The driving layer 6 includes a driving circuit, which includes a thin-film transistor (containing the driving transistor). The thin-film transistor can be an oxide thin-film transistor or a low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor. Specific process details are conventional in the art and will not be elaborated here. Then, see... Figure 7b As shown, a first pixel defining layer 16 is fabricated. The first pixel defining layer 16 can be made of a transparent resin material or a colored resin material, preferably made of a colored resin material, and more preferably made of a black resin material. The first pixel defining layer 16 defines a plurality of first receiving holes, each of which corresponds to a light-emitting region. In some embodiments, the size of the first receiving hole corresponding to the green light-emitting region (the cross-sectional area of ​​the light-emitting side of the receiving hole) is greater than or equal to the size of the first receiving hole corresponding to the red light-emitting region, and the size of the first receiving hole corresponding to the red light-emitting region is greater than or equal to the size of the first receiving hole corresponding to the blue light-emitting region. Next, see... Figure 7cAs shown, a light-emitting element is fabricated within the first receiving hole. Taking a blue organic light-emitting diode (OLED) as an example, the anode of the blue OLED shares the same layer as the drain of the driving transistor. In this case, only an organic functional layer capable of emitting blue light and a cathode need to be fabricated within the first receiving hole. In some embodiments, the anode of the OLED is made of a metallic material (e.g., molybdenum, aluminum, etc.) so that the anode serves as a reflective electrode, and the cathode is made of a transparent conductive material (e.g., indium tin oxide, indium gallium zinc oxide, etc.). In some embodiments, the overall thickness of the driving layer 6 and the OLED is 3µm to 4µm. Finally, see... Figure 7d As shown, a first encapsulation layer 7 is prepared. The first encapsulation layer 7 is a stacked structure composed of alternating inorganic and organic encapsulation films. For example, the first encapsulation layer 7 is a three-layer stacked structure of inorganic encapsulation film-organic encapsulation film-inorganic encapsulation film. The inorganic encapsulation film can be obtained by depositing silicon oxide and / or silicon nitride materials through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, and the thickness is generally 1 μm. The organic encapsulation film can be obtained by inkjet printing (IJP) organic materials, and the thickness is generally 6 μm to 8 μm. The organic encapsulation film can also play a planarization role.

[0084] Figures 8a to 8f A schematic diagram of the intermediate structure for fabricating the second display substrate, as shown below. Figures 8a to 8f As shown, the manufacturing process of the second display substrate is as follows: First, a second substrate 17 is provided. The second substrate 17 can be a rigid glass substrate or a flexible resin substrate. Then, see... Figure 8a As shown, a color resist layer 11 is fabricated on the second substrate 17; specifically, a black matrix 18 with a thickness of less than or equal to 2 μm is first fabricated; then, each color resist is fabricated separately, with a thickness of less than or equal to 3 μm; in some embodiments, the color resists include: a blue color resist 12b, a red color resist 12r, and a green color resist 12g. Then, see... Figure 8bAs shown, a second bandpass filter layer 5 is prepared. Specifically, a second bandpass filter structure 52 is formed by alternating deposition of nanoscale high-refractive-index resin material and nanoscale low-refractive-index resin material using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), followed by the preparation of a second light-concentrating structure 51. In this embodiment, multiple second collimating lenses (e.g., plano-convex lenses) can be prepared by exposure and development to obtain the second light-concentrating structure 51, or multiple second light-concentrating films can be prepared by stacking them, with the refractive index of each second light-concentrating film decreasing sequentially in the direction away from the second substrate 17. The second bandpass filter layer 5 completely covers the red light emitting region and the green light emitting region, but does not cover the blue light emitting region. It should be noted that when the second light-concentrating structure 51 includes multiple second collimating lenses, a second transparent resin layer is prepared above the second collimating lenses to achieve planarization in order to ensure the preparation of the subsequent film layer. In this case, the second collimating lenses are embedded in the second transparent resin layer. Next, see Figure 8c As shown, a second pixel defining layer 10 is fabricated, and a plurality of second receiving holes are provided on the second pixel defining layer 10, with each second receiving hole corresponding to a light-emitting region. In some embodiments, the dihedral angle β formed by the sidewall portion of the second pixel defining layer 10 used to form the second receiving hole and the bottom plane of the second receiving hole is in the range of 80° to 120°, preferably 90° to 110°, and the thickness of the second pixel defining layer 10 is 6µm to 12µm. In some embodiments, the size of the second receiving hole corresponding to the green light-emitting region (the cross-sectional area of ​​the light-emitting side of the receiving hole) is greater than or equal to the size of the second receiving hole corresponding to the red light-emitting region, and the size of the second receiving hole corresponding to the red light-emitting region is greater than or equal to the size of the second receiving hole corresponding to the blue light-emitting region. In addition, some isolation dams 19 can be provided above the second pixel defining layer 10 that forms the second receiving holes corresponding to the red light-emitting region and the second receiving holes corresponding to the green light-emitting region to prevent the mixing of green quantum dot materials and red quantum dot materials during the subsequent fabrication of the green light conversion color film 3g and the red light conversion color film 3r. In addition, a reflective metal layer (not shown) can be provided on the sidewalls surrounding the second receiving hole to increase the amount of light emitted. Next, see... Figure 8dAs shown, a red light conversion color film 3r and a green light conversion color film 3g are fabricated in the second receiving hole corresponding to the red light emitting region and the second receiving hole corresponding to the green light emitting region, respectively. A transparent resin pattern 30b is fabricated in the second receiving hole corresponding to the blue light emitting region. Scattering particles are doped into the light conversion color film 3 and the transparent resin pattern 30b to ensure the consistency of the viewing angle of each emitting region. The thickness of the light conversion color film 3 and the transparent resin pattern 30b is 6µm to 12µm, similar to the thickness of the second pixel defining layer 10. The curing temperature of the resin material in the light conversion color film 3 and the resin material in the transparent resin pattern 30b is less than or equal to 180°C. Next, see... Figure 8e As shown, a second encapsulation layer 9 is prepared; in some embodiments, the refractive index of the second encapsulation layer 9 is between 1.7 and 2.0, preferably between 1.75 and 1.85; the thickness of the second encapsulation layer 9 is less than 1 μm, preferably less than 0.5 μm. Finally, referring to 8f, a first bandpass filter layer 4 is prepared; specifically, a first bandpass filter structure 42 is formed by alternating deposition of nanoscale high-refractive-index resin material and nanoscale low-refractive-index resin material by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition; then a first light-concentrating structure 41 is prepared; in the embodiments of this disclosure, multiple first collimating lenses (e.g., plano-convex lenses) can be prepared by exposure and development to obtain the first light-concentrating structure 41, or multiple first light-concentrating films can be prepared by stacking multiple first light-concentrating films, and the refractive index of each first light-concentrating film decreases sequentially in the direction away from the first substrate 1 to obtain the first light-concentrating structure 41; wherein, the first bandpass filter layer 4 completely covers the red light-emitting region, the green light-emitting region, and the blue light-emitting region.

[0085] The alignment process between the first and second display substrates is as follows: First, under a vacuum or nitrogen atmosphere, a sealing adhesive 13 is applied to the peripheral area of ​​the first and / or second display substrates, and a first transparent resin material is applied to the central area. Then, the two substrates are brought close together for high-precision alignment and alignment. Next, the sealing adhesive 13 is cured using an ultraviolet curing process, and the first transparent resin material is thermally cured using a low-temperature (≤100℃) curing process. The sealing adhesive 13 has a thickness of 15µm to 50µm, preferably 20µm to 40µm, and more preferably 20µm to 30µm. The sealing adhesive 13 contains fiber or microsphere fillers with controlled particle size and thickness. The first transparent resin material is preferably a low-temperature curing resin (main curing temperature ≤100℃, preferably ≤90℃), and after curing, its outgassing value after baking at 100℃ for 2 hours is ≤100ppm. After curing, the first transparent resin material forms a first transparent resin layer 8, the thickness of which ranges from 5µm to 30µm, preferably from 10µm to 15µm. Furthermore, to avoid total internal reflection of some light at the interface between adjacent film layers, the refractive index of the first transparent resin layer 8 is preferably less than or equal to the refractive index of the film layer in the first light-concentrating structure 41 that is in contact with the first transparent resin layer 8, and the refractive index of the first transparent resin layer is greater than or equal to the refractive index of the film layer in the first encapsulation layer 7 that is in contact with the first transparent resin layer 8. For example, if the refractive index of the film layer in the first light-concentrating structure 41 that is in contact with the first transparent resin layer 8 is n3, and the refractive index of the film layer in the first encapsulation layer 7 that is in contact with the first transparent resin layer 8 is n4, then the refractive index n5 of the first transparent resin layer 8 satisfies: n4≤n5≤n3. Specific values ​​can be set according to actual conditions.

[0086] It should be noted that when the display panel contains a first bandpass filter layer 4 and the first light-concentrating structure 41 in the first bandpass filter layer 4 includes a first collimating lens, the first collimating lens will be embedded in the first transparent resin layer 8.

[0087] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 9 As shown, with Figure 6 The display panel shown is different from the box-type display panel. Figure 9 The display panel shown is a non-cell display panel; specifically, the light conversion color filter array is directly fabricated on the first display substrate. At this time, the second encapsulation layer 9 is located on the side of the second pixel defining layer 10 away from the first substrate 1, the second bandpass filter layer 5 is located on the side of the second encapsulation layer 9 away from the first substrate 1, and the color resist layer 11 is located on the side of the second bandpass filter layer 5 away from the first substrate 1.

[0088] In practical applications, it has been found that in display panels employing blue light-emitting units 2 + red / green light conversion color filters 3g, the amount of blue light emitted by the display panel is relatively high, which can easily lead to an overall bluish tint in the displayed image. To solve this problem, a circular polarizer 14 and a protective film 15 are also provided on the side of the color resist layer 11 away from the first substrate 1. The protective film 15 is located on the side of the circular polarizer 14 away from the first substrate 1. The circular polarizer 14 is a reflective circular polarizer 14, preferably a reflective circular polarizer 14 with slightly higher reflectivity in the blue light band, in order to reduce the blue light component in the emitted light. The protective film 15 is a coating material with high transmittance and scratch resistance, in order to protect the circular polarizer 14.

[0089] Figures 10a to 10g This is a schematic diagram of the structure in which other functional films are fabricated directly on the first display substrate in an embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figures 10a to 10g As shown, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of directly fabricating other functional film layers on the first display substrate is as follows: First, a first display substrate is provided; the specific fabrication process can be found in the preceding content and will not be repeated here. Then, see... Figure 10aAs shown, a first transparent resin layer 8 is fabricated on the first display substrate. To avoid total internal reflection of some light at the interface between adjacent film layers, preferably, the refractive index of the first transparent resin layer 8 is less than or equal to the refractive index of the film layer in the subsequently fabricated first light-concentrating structure 41 that is in contact with the first transparent resin layer 8, and the refractive index of the first transparent resin layer is greater than or equal to the refractive index of the film layer in the first encapsulation layer 7 that is in contact with the first transparent resin layer 8. When the first light-concentrating structure 41 in the subsequently fabricated first bandpass filter layer 4 includes a first collimating lens structure, a receiving groove for accommodating the first collimating lens needs to be fabricated on the side of the first transparent resin layer 8 facing away from the substrate through an exposure (e.g., halftone mask exposure) and development process. For example, if the first collimating lens is a plano-convex lens, the receiving groove has a convex bottom. When the first light-concentrating structure 41 in the subsequently fabricated first bandpass filter layer 4 is a multilayer first light-concentrating thin film stacked structure, the aforementioned receiving groove is not required. Next, referring to Figure 10b, the first bandpass filter layer 4 is prepared; specifically, the first focusing structure 41 is prepared first, and then the first bandpass filter structure 42 is prepared; in this embodiment of the present disclosure, multiple first collimating lenses (e.g., plano-convex lenses) can be prepared by exposure and development to obtain the first focusing structure 41, at which time the first collimating lenses are located in the receiving groove of the first transparent resin layer 8; or the first focusing structure 41 can be obtained by preparing multiple first focusing films stacked together, and in the direction away from the first substrate 1, the refractive index of each first focusing film increases sequentially; plasma enhancement can be used to enhance the light. A first bandpass filter structure 42 is formed by alternating deposition of nanoscale high-refractive-index resin material and nanoscale low-refractive-index resin material using chemical vapor deposition. The first bandpass filter structure 42 can also be located within a receiving groove (in which case the maximum thickness of the first transparent resin layer 8 is greater than or equal to the maximum thickness of the first bandpass filter structure 42). In some embodiments, the surface of the first bandpass filter structure 42 away from the first substrate 1 is flush with the surface of the first transparent resin layer 8 away from the first substrate 1 to facilitate the subsequent fabrication of film layers. The first bandpass filter layer 4 completely covers the red light emitting region, the green light emitting region, and the blue light emitting region. Next, see... Figure 10c As shown, the second pixel defining layer 10 is fabricated. The specific fabrication process can be found in the previous content and will not be repeated here. Next, see... Figure 10d As shown, a red light conversion color film 3r and a green light conversion color film 3g are respectively prepared in the second receiving hole corresponding to the red light emitting region and the second receiving hole corresponding to the green light emitting region, and a transparent resin pattern 30b is prepared in the second receiving hole corresponding to the blue light emitting region. Next, see... Figure 10e As shown, a second encapsulation layer 9 is prepared; the refractive index of the second encapsulation layer 9 is in the range of 1.7 to 2.0, preferably between 1.75 and 1.85; the thickness of the second encapsulation layer 9 is less than 1 μm, preferably less than 0.5 μm. Next, see... Figure 10f As shown in Figure 10g, a first bandpass filter layer 4 is fabricated. Specifically, a second focusing structure 51 is fabricated first, followed by a second bandpass filter structure 52. The fabrication processes for the second focusing structure 51 and the second bandpass filter structure 52 are the same as those for the first focusing structure 41 and the first bandpass filter structure 42. Specific fabrication processes can be found in the preceding content and will not be repeated here. The second bandpass filter layer 5 completely covers the red and green light emission regions, but does not cover the blue light emission region. Next, referring to Figure 10g, a color resist layer 11, a circular polarizer 14, and a protective film 15 are fabricated sequentially.
