[0051] In the related art, when a display panel is viewed from the central normal direction of the display panel, color deviation occurs in the edge region and the middle region of the display panel. The inventors have found that the main cause of this is that the OLED display panel usually uses the microcavity effect to select, narrow and strengthen the light emitted by each sub-pixel, so as to improve the chroma of the OLED display panel and strengthen the luminous intensity of a specific wavelength.

[0052] Due to the existence of multi-beam interference, the viewing angle characteristics of each sub-pixel in the OLED display panel are affected, that is, as the viewing angle increases, the luminance decay rates of the light emitted by sub-pixels of different colors are different, resulting in differences in the luminance of different colors of light, so that the luminance proportions of different colors of light in the middle region and the edge region are different, thereby causing color deviation in the edge region and the middle region of the display panel. For example, as the viewing angle increases, the luminance decay rates of the light emitted by red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels and blue sub-pixels are different, and the luminance decay rates of red light and blue light are both greater than the luminance decay rate of green light, resulting in differences in the luminance of red light, green light and blue light, so that the luminance proportions of red light, green light and blue light in the edge region are different from those in the middle region, thereby causing the problem of cyan color deviation in the edge region of the display panel. This color deviation problem is more serious when the edge region is bent.

[0053] To solve the above technical problem, the inventors have tried to set the light extraction layer in the middle region and the edge region of the display panel to different thicknesses, so that the luminance decay of the light emitted by different sub-pixels is less than a set threshold value, so that the luminance decay rates of different sub-pixels are consistent, thereby reducing or eliminating the color deviation in the middle region and the edge region of the display panel. The inventors have also tried to set a luminous efficiency adjusting unit between the cathode and the light-emitting layer of each sub-pixel, and the vibration characteristic peak of the luminous efficiency adjusting unit of each sub-pixel coincides with the wavelength of the light-emitting layer of each sub-pixel, so as to adjust the luminance of the light emitted by each sub-pixel, so that the luminance decay rates of the light emitted by sub-pixels of different colors are consistent, thereby reducing or eliminating the color deviation in the middle region and the edge region of the display panel. However, the above two schemes have high requirements for the manufacturing precision, material performance, etc. of the light extraction layer and the luminous efficiency adjusting unit, and are difficult to implement.

[0054] To solve the above technical problems, the display panel of the embodiment of the present application sets the touch electrode layer in the touch function layer as a plurality of metal wire rings that are electrically connected to each other, the plurality of metal wire rings correspond one-to-one to a plurality of sub-pixels in the device layer, and the light emitted by each sub-pixel is emitted through an opening surrounded by the corresponding metal wire ring. The embodiment of the present application adjusts the opening area of the metal wire ring located in the edge region to adjust the shielding area of the metal wire ring to the light emitted by the sub-pixel, thereby adjusting the light attenuation rate of the light emitted by each sub-pixel in the edge region, so that the brightness proportion of light of different colors in the edge region is the same as the brightness proportion of light of different colors in the middle region, and the color deviation of the edge region and the middle region of the display panel is reduced or eliminated.

[0055] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0056] It should be noted that the size and shape of each figure in the drawings do not reflect the true proportions, but only serve to illustrate the content of the embodiments of the present application. And the same or similar reference numbers represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 The first embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, which has a middle region A and an edge region B connected to the middle region A. Exemplarily, the edge region B can be one, and one edge region B can be connected to one side of the middle region A. The edge region B can also be two, and the two edge regions B are symmetrically arranged along the center line S of the middle region A. Exemplarily, the middle region A can be a plane, and the edge region B can be a curved surface connected to the plane, that is, the two sides of the display panel are 3D bent when the display module is manufactured, to form a curved display device, and improve user experience.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 The display panel can include an array substrate 10, a device layer 20, an encapsulation layer 30 and a touch function layer 40 arranged in sequence. Exemplarily, the array substrate 10 can include a substrate and a plurality of drive circuits formed on the substrate. The substrate can be a rigid substrate, such as a stainless steel plate; the substrate can also be a flexible substrate, such as a polyimide (PI) film, an ultra-thin glass film, etc. The display panel using a flexible substrate as the substrate can have bending, folding and other functions, and can meet different needs of users.

[0059] The device layer 20 is formed on the array substrate 10. The device layer 20 has a plurality of pixel units 240 arranged in a matrix. The pixel unit 240 can include a plurality of sub-pixels, which are connected to a plurality of driving circuits in the array substrate 10, and each sub-pixel can emit light to display an image by controlling the driving circuit. For example, each pixel unit 240 can include a first sub-pixel 210, a second sub-pixel 220, and a third sub-pixel 230.

[0060] Referring to Figure 1 The first sub-pixel 210, the second sub-pixel 220, and the third sub-pixel 230 in each pixel unit 240 are arranged at intervals. The first sub-pixel 210, the second sub-pixel 220, and the third sub-pixel 230 emit light of different colors, and different colors can be displayed by adjusting the brightness ratio of the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210, the second sub-pixel 220, and the third sub-pixel 230, thereby realizing the display function of the display panel. For example, as the viewing angle increases, the brightness decay rate of the first sub-pixel 210 is less than that of the second sub-pixel 220 and the third sub-pixel 230. The first sub-pixel 210 can be a green light sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel 220 can be a red light sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel 230 can be a blue light sub-pixel.

[0061] The encapsulation layer 30 is formed on the side of the device layer 20 away from the array substrate 10. The encapsulation layer 30 is used to protect the pixel units 240 in the device layer 20, prevent water and oxygen from entering the interior of the pixel units 240, and cause the light-emitting material in the pixel units 240 to fail, thereby ensuring the display function of the display panel. For example, the encapsulation layer 30 can be a thin film encapsulation, for example, the encapsulation layer 30 can be a laminated structure formed by a first inorganic encapsulation layer, an organic encapsulation layer, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer.

[0062] The touch function layer 40 is formed on the side of the encapsulation layer 30 away from the device layer 20, and the touch function layer 40 has a touch function. Through the touch function layer 40, the position and posture of a finger on the display panel can be obtained, and the display device can be controlled according to the position and posture of the finger.

[0063] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The touch function layer 40 may include a touch electrode layer 440. The touch electrode layer 440 is used to input touch driving signals and to detect touch position and posture. For example, the touch electrode layer 440 may be provided with a plurality of first metal wire loops 441 that are electrically connected to each other. The plurality of first metal wire loops 441 are respectively arranged in a plurality of first sub-pixels 210. Each first metal wire loop 441 forms a first opening 442. The orthographic projection of each first sub-pixel 210 on the array substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the first opening 442 on the array substrate 10, so that the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210 can be emitted through the first opening 442.

[0064] The area of ​​the first opening 442 located in the edge region B can be smaller than the area of ​​the first opening 442 located in the middle region A, so as to increase the blocking area of ​​the first metal wire ring 441 in the edge region B on the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210, increase the brightness attenuation rate of the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210 in the edge region B, thereby making the brightness ratio of different colors of light in the middle region A the same as the brightness ratio of different colors of light in the edge region B, reducing or eliminating the color deviation between the middle region A and the edge region B of the display panel.

[0065] For example, when the position of the first metal wire loop 441 remains unchanged, the area of ​​the first opening 442 located in the edge region B can be made smaller than the area of ​​the first opening 442 located in the middle region A by adjusting the line width of the first metal wire loop 441. (See reference) Figure 1 The linewidth of the first metal loop 441 located in the edge region B is greater than that of the first metal loop 441 in the middle region A, which makes the area of ​​the first opening 442 in the edge region B smaller than that in the middle region A. When manufacturing the first metal loop 441, only the linewidth of the first metal loop 441 in the edge region B needs to be changed, without changing the position of the first metal loop 441, thus reducing the manufacturing difficulty and improving the ease of manufacturing the first metal loop 441.

[0066] In a direction from the middle area A to the edge area B, the line width of the first metal wire ring 441 in the edge area B can gradually increase (not shown in the figure). That is, the closer to the edge of the display panel, the smaller the area of the first opening 442, and the more the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210 is blocked. In the related art, the closer to the edge of the display panel, the smaller the light attenuation rate of the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210. In this implementation, the closer to the edge of the display panel, the more the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210 is blocked, and the light attenuation rate of the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210 can gradually increase, so that the brightness proportion of different colors of light in the middle area A is the same as the brightness proportion of different colors of light in the edge area B, further reducing or eliminating the color deviation of the middle area A and the edge area B of the display panel, and improving the uniformity of the chromaticity of the display panel.

[0067] When the middle area A is a plane and the edge area B is a curved surface, in a direction from the intersection of the curved surface and the plane to the plane, the line width of the first metal wire ring 441 can gradually increase. The increase range of the line width of the first metal wire ring 441 can be specifically set according to the curvature of the edge area B, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, when the display panel is manufactured, the first metal wire ring 441 in the edge area B can be manufactured by gradient exposure.

[0068] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The center of the first sub-pixel 210 in the orthographic projection of the array substrate 10 can coincide with the center of the first opening 442 in the orthographic projection of the array substrate 10. In a direction parallel to the array substrate 10, the distance between the circumferential edge of the first sub-pixel 210 and the circumferential edge of the first opening 442 is equal everywhere. In this way, the first opening 442 can uniformly block the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210 in the circumferential direction of the first sub-pixel 210, so that the light attenuation rate of the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210 in each direction can be increased, the consistency of the brightness proportion of the light emitted by the first sub-pixel 210 and the light of other colors in each direction can be improved, and the chromaticity uniformity of the display panel can be further improved.

[0069] The shape of the first opening 442 can match the shape of the first sub-pixel 210. For example, when the shape of the first sub-pixel 210 is rectangular, the shape of the first opening 442 is also rectangular. When the shape of the first sub-pixel 210 is circular, the shape of the first opening 442 is also circular. Of course, it can be understood that the shapes of the first sub-pixel 210 and the first opening 442 can also be other matching shapes, which will not be described herein.

[0070] Reference Figure 3The device layer 20 also has a plurality of second sub-pixels 220 and third sub-pixels 230 arranged at intervals. The touch electrode layer 440 is also provided with a plurality of second metal wire loops 443 and a plurality of third metal wire loops 445 which are electrically connected to each other. The plurality of second metal wire loops 443 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of second sub-pixels 220, each second metal wire loop 443 encloses a second opening 444, and the orthographic projection of each second sub-pixel 220 on the array substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second opening 444 on the array substrate 10, so that the light emitted by the second sub-pixel 220 can be emitted out through the second opening 444. The plurality of third metal wire loops 445 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of third sub-pixels 230, each third metal wire loop 445 encloses a third opening 446, and the orthographic projection of each third sub-pixel 230 on the array substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the third opening 446 on the array substrate 10, so that the light emitted by the third sub-pixel 230 can be emitted out through the third opening 446.

[0071] In some implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the area of the second opening 444 located in the edge region B is greater than the area of the second opening 444 located in the middle region A, so as to reduce the shielding area of the second metal wire loop 443 in the edge region B to the light emitted by the second sub-pixel 220, and reduce the brightness decay rate of the light emitted by the second sub-pixel 220 in the edge region B. The area of the third opening 446 located in the edge region B is greater than the area of the third opening 446 located in the middle region A, so as to reduce the shielding area of the third metal wire loop 445 in the edge region B to the light emitted by the third sub-pixel 230, and reduce the brightness decay rate of the light emitted by the third sub-pixel 230 in the edge region B, so that the brightness proportion of different colors of light in the middle region A is the same as the brightness proportion of different colors of light in the edge region B, thereby reducing or eliminating the color deviation of the middle region A and the edge region B of the display panel.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 The touch function layer 40 can also include a first insulating layer 410, a connection metal layer 420 and a second insulating layer 430 which are sequentially stacked on the side of the device layer 20 away from the array substrate 10, i.e. in the direction of light emission of the device layer 20, i.e. in the direction of vertical upward in the middle of the array substrate 10. Figure 1 The second insulating layer 430 is provided with a touch electrode layer 440 on the side away from the connection metal layer 420. The connection metal layer 420 is provided with a plurality of connection lines 421 arranged at intervals, and the first metal wire loop 441 is electrically connected to the connection line 421. For example, the second insulating layer 430 is provided with a metal via hole 431, and the first metal wire loop 441 is electrically connected to the connection line 421 through the metal via hole 431. For example, the materials of the first insulating layer 410 and the second insulating layer 430 can include silicon nitride or silicon oxide, etc.

[0073] Reference Figure 2The connecting line 421 is in the orthographic projection of the array substrate 10 between the intervals of the plurality of sub-pixels, so as to avoid the connecting line 421 from blocking the light emitted by each sub-pixel and affecting the display effect of the display panel.

[0074] With reference to Figure 2 The touch function layer 40 further includes an optical adhesive layer 450 formed on the side of the touch electrode layer 440 away from the second insulating layer 430, for bonding other film layers of the display panel, such as a polarizing layer or a cover plate layer.

[0075] With reference to Figure 4 The second embodiment of the present application provides a display panel having a middle region A and an edge region B connected to the middle region A. The display panel includes an array substrate 10, a device layer and a touch function layer which are sequentially stacked.
