[0092] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the orthographic projection of the second light emitting device 40 on the base substrate 1 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the pixel definition layer 31 on the base substrate 1. In this way, the area of the pixel definition layer 31 can be utilized, which helps to improve the resolution and aperture ratio of the display panel. In addition, according to the display effect of the first light emitting device 30, the light color of the second light emitting device 40 can be adjusted to improve the color gamut of the display panel and enhance the display effect.
[0093] The second light emitting device 40 is an organic light emitting transistor (OLET) having a switching performance. The second light emitting device 40 includes a gate, a gate dielectric layer, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a light emitting functional layer located between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first electrode can be a source electrode or a drain electrode, and correspondingly, the second electrode can be a drain electrode or a source electrode.
[0094] The second light emitting device 40 may be a top-gate structure or a bottom-gate structure.

The orthographic projection of the second gate layer 401 on the base substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first electrode layer 301 on the base substrate 1. The material of the second gate layer 401 may include a metal material or an alloy material to ensure its good electrical conductivity. Of course, it may also include a transparent conductive material, such as ITO (indium tin oxide), IZO (indium zinc oxide), etc. The second gate layer 401 may be a single-layer film structure or a multi-layer film layer stacked structure, such as the second gate layer 401 may be a multi-layer stacked structure formed by ITO / Ag / ITO, or Ti / Al / Ti.
[0097] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second gate layer 401 is disposed in the same layer as the first electrode layer 301. In the present disclosure, the same layer means that they are made of the same material and the same process. Specifically, a conductive material layer can be formed on the side of the planarization layer 25 away from the base substrate 1, and then the conductive material layer is patterned to form the second gate layer 401 and the first electrode layer 301, and the second gate layer 401 and the first electrode layer 301 are not connected, so as to independently control the first light-emitting device 30 and the second light-emitting device 40.
[0098] The gate dielectric layer 402 is disposed on a side of the second gate layer 401 away from the base substrate 1, and the gate dielectric layer 402 covers the second gate layer 401.

That is, the gate dielectric layer 402 and the pixel definition layer 31 are the same film layer, which plays the role of isolating the second gate layer 401 and the third electrode layer 403, and also plays the role of defining the range of the first light-emitting device 30. When the gate dielectric layer 402 is reused as the pixel definition layer 31, the shape and size of the gate dielectric layer 402 must meet the requirements of the display panel for the pixel definition layer 31. In this embodiment, the gate dielectric layer 402 and the pixel definition layer 31 share the same film layer, which helps to reduce the thickness of the display panel.

The third electrode layer 403 can be a single-layer film structure or a multi-layer film layer stacking structure, such as the third electrode layer 403 can be a multi-layer stacking structure formed by ITO / Ag / ITO, or Ti / Al / Ti. In addition, the material of the third electrode layer 403 can include an opaque conductive material, such as a low state density material such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, silver nanowires, etc., which helps to reduce the probability of side light leakage and reduce crosstalk between different pixels. The thickness of the third electrode layer 403 can be 100-500 nm, which will not shield the charge regulation function of the gate of the second light-emitting device 40 and can reduce the transmittance. It can be used as a pixel definition layer 31 together with the gate dielectric layer 402 to reduce the probability of crosstalk problems between adjacent pixels.

[0111] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the first light-emitting device 30 and the second light-emitting device 40 can form different pixel arrangements according to their own arrangement order. For example, the first light-emitting device 30 and the second light-emitting device 40 can be used as independent sub-pixels, and each of the first light-emitting device 30 and the second light-emitting device 40 can emit light of different colors to form sub-pixels of different colors, such as red sub-pixels (R), green sub-pixels (G) and blue sub-pixels (B). The first light-emitting device 30 located in the opening of the pixel definition layer 31 and the second light-emitting device 40 located on the pixel definition layer 31 can be arranged to form pixels such as RGB BRGBGR BGRB RBGB. For example, Figure 8 As shown, the first light emitting device 30 located in the opening of the pixel definition layer 31 and the second light emitting device 40 located on the pixel definition layer 31 are arranged to form an RGB pixel.

At the same time, each filter portion 72 is arranged one-to-one in the through hole provided by each light shielding portion 71, so as to be separated by the light shielding portion 71. The light emitted by the first light emitting device 30 and the second light emitting device 40 can be emitted through the corresponding filter portion 72. Each first light emitting device 30 and the second light emitting device 40 and the corresponding filter 72 can form a light emitting unit, which can emit monochromatic light, such as red, blue or green.

Quantum dots are nano-scale semiconductors. By applying a certain electric field or light pressure to the nano-semiconductor material, they will emit light of a specific frequency, and the frequency of the emitted light will change with the change of the size of the semiconductor, so the color of the light emitted by the semiconductor can be controlled by adjusting the size of the nano-semiconductor.

[0117] In the present disclosure, the color of the light converted by the light conversion unit 62 is the same as the color of the light that can be transmitted by its corresponding filter unit 72. For example, if the color of the light converted by the first light conversion unit 621 is the first color, such as green, then its corresponding filter unit 72 can transmit the light of the first color, such as green light. In this embodiment, each first light-emitting device 30 or second light-emitting device 40, together with the corresponding light conversion unit 62 and filter unit 72, forms a light-emitting unit, which can emit monochromatic light, such as red, blue or green. Each light-emitting unit forms a sub-pixel. As in the above embodiment, multiple light-emitting units can be arranged to form pixels such as RGB BRG BGR BGRB RBGB.
