[0057] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application or the related technologies, the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the related technical descriptions will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other embodiments can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0059] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the present application belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0060] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application proposes a display panel. The display panel includes a substrate 100, a light emitting structure layer 200, an encapsulation layer 300, a patterned layer 400, a first black matrix 510 and a plurality of color filters 600. The light emitting structure layer 200 is arranged on one side of the substrate 100, and the light emitting structure layer 200 includes a plurality of pixel units. The encapsulation layer 300 is arranged on the side of the light emitting structure layer 200 away from the substrate 100. The patterned layer 400 is arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 300 away from the substrate 100, and the patterned layer 400 includes a plurality of patterned structures 410, the patterned structures 410 correspond one-to-one to the pixel units, and the plurality of patterned structures 410 have a first refractive index. The first black matrix 510 is located between two adjacent patterned structures 410. The color filter 600 covers the patterned structure 410, and the color of the color filter 600 corresponds one-to-one to the color of the pixel unit, and the color filter 600 has a second refractive index, which is less than the first refractive index.

[0061] According to the display panel in the embodiment of the present application, a patterned structure 410 and a color filter 600 corresponding to the pixel unit of the display panel are arranged on the side away from the base substrate 100, wherein the patterned structure 410 can adopt a material with a first refractive index, and the color filter 600 adopts a material with a second refractive index, and the second refractive index is smaller than the first refractive index, thereby forming a stacked structure with a refractive index difference. After the light emitted by the light-emitting structure layer 200 passes through the patterned structure 410 and the color filter 600, the light can be gathered toward the center of the pixel unit, thereby increasing the light output efficiency of the display panel, and the first black matrix 510 is arranged between two adjacent patterned structures 410, so as to avoid sacrificing the light output at some angles, thereby slowing down the L-Decay at large angles.

[0062] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the light emitting structure layer 200 may include light emitting structures of multiple colors, for example: a green light emitting structure 210, a red light emitting structure 220 and a blue light emitting structure 230, and the color filter 600 includes a green filter 610, a red filter 620 and a blue filter 630. The first black matrix 510 is a BM (Black Matrix), which is arranged between two adjacent patterned structures 410. The first black matrix 510 itself can be used to block light to prevent light of different colors from interfering with each other. When the first black matrix 510 is arranged between two adjacent patterned structures 410, and the projections of the first black matrix 510 and the patterned structure 410 on the base substrate 100 do not overlap, it is possible to avoid sacrificing light at some angles, and slow down the L-Decay at large angles.

[0063] In some specific preparation processes, the process of making a display panel may include:

[0064] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, Figure 2 It is shown that a barrier layer 110 can be first formed on the base substrate 100, and then a light emitting structure layer 200 is formed on the barrier layer 110, and an encapsulation layer 300 is formed on the side of the light emitting structure layer 200 away from the base substrate 100, and then Figure 3 The patterned layer 400 is formed on the encapsulation layer 300, and each patterned structure 410 in the patterned layer 400 corresponds to a pixel unit of the light emitting structure layer 200 one by one. Figure 4 It shows that a first black matrix 510 is formed between adjacent patterned structures 410, and finally a color filter 600 is covered on the patterned structure 410. The color filter 600 is CF (Color Filter). Each color filter 600 will also correspond one-to-one to a pixel unit of the light-emitting structure layer 200, so as to improve the light output efficiency of the display panel.

[0065] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the display panel further includes an organic layer 700, which is disposed on a side of the plurality of color filters 600 and the first black matrix 510 away from the base substrate 100, and the organic layer 700 has a third refractive index, which is less than the second refractive index. In this embodiment, the organic layer 700 can be made of a material with a lower water vapor transmission rate to avoid water vapor erosion of the light-emitting structure layer 200. Since the organic layer 700 is disposed on a side of the color filter 600 away from the base substrate 100, and the organic layer 700 is made of a material with a third refractive index, the third refractive index is less than the second refractive index, and the second refractive index is less than the first refractive index, in this way, the patterned structure 410, the color filter 600 and the organic layer 700 form a stacked structure with multiple different refractive indices. In the related art, when the light emitting structure layer 200 emits light, the light will be emitted in multiple directions, and some of the light will be emitted to the side of the light emitting structure layer 200. The side light emission of the light emitting layer structure 200 will cause part of the light to be absorbed by the first black matrix 510 and cannot be emitted from the light emitting surface of the display panel, which will undoubtedly cause a certain light emission loss. In the present embodiment, since a stacked structure with different refractive indices is formed between the patterned structure 410, the color filter 600 and the organic layer 700, even if there is a side of the light emitting structure layer 200, the lateral light emission can be refracted into front light emission by the difference in the refractive index of the layers thereon, thereby increasing the front light emission efficiency of the light emitting structure layer 200. In addition, in the present embodiment, an organic layer 700 is also provided on the side of the first black matrix 510 away from the base substrate 100, so that part of the light absorbed by the first black matrix 510 can be refracted out, thereby further increasing the light emission.

[0066] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the first refractive index is greater than or equal to 1.7, the second refractive index is greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than or equal to 1.65, and the third refractive index is greater than or equal to 1.4 and less than or equal to 1.55. For example, when the first refractive index is 1.7 and the second refractive index can be 1.5, the value range of the third refractive index is greater than or equal to 1.4 and less than 1.5. When the first refractive index is 1.7 and the second refractive index is 1.55, the value range of the third refractive index is greater than or equal to 1.4 and less than 1.55. In other words, the value range of the third refractive index is related to the second refractive index, and the third refractive index needs to be smaller than the second refractive index. Only in this way can the stacked structure formed by the patterned structure 410, the color filter 600 and the organic layer 700 have a refractive index difference to slow down the L-Decay at a large angle.

[0067] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the display panel further includes a touch film layer 800, which is disposed on a side of the organic layer 700 away from the base substrate 100, and the touch film layer 800 includes a first metal layer 810, a second metal layer 820 and an insulating layer 830, and the insulating layer 830 is disposed between the first metal layer 810 and the second metal layer 820. In this embodiment, the first metal layer 810 can be called a TMA layer (Touch Metal A, touch layer A), the second metal layer 820 can be called a TMB (Touch Metal B, touch layer B), and the insulating layer 830 is also called a TLD layer (Touch Insulation Layer Dielectric, touch insulating layer). Usually, the first metal layer 810 forms a bridge key, that is, a bridge structure of touch control, and the second metal layer 820 forms Tx (transmitting or sending touch signals) and Rx (receiving touch signals) wiring, which can be a mesh structure. In order to reduce the resistance, the first metal layer 810 and the second metal layer 820 can be double-layer wiring, and the two can be connected through vias. In the specific preparation process, the first metal layer 810 can be formed on the organic layer 700 first, then the insulating layer 830 can be formed, and finally the second metal layer 820 can be formed. In this embodiment, by providing the touch film layer 800, the display panel can have a touch function.

[0068] In some specific embodiments, the dielectric constant of the organic layer 700 is 2.8 to 3.2. When the dielectric constant of the organic layer 700 is 2.8 to 3.2, the influence of the cathode in the display panel on the touch film layer 800 can be shielded. In a more specific embodiment, the dielectric constant of the organic layer 700 is 3.0.

[0069] In addition, in some specific embodiments, the insulating layer 830 may be made of silicon nitride, which can not only provide insulation but also block the invasion of water and oxygen, thereby increasing the packaging reliability of the display panel. The insulating layer 830 may also be made of organic material, which can further shield the impact on the cathode in the display panel.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the projections of the first metal layer 810 and the second metal layer 820 on the base substrate 100 are located within the projection of the first black matrix 510 on the base substrate 100. In this embodiment, the projections of the first metal layer 810 and the second metal layer 820 are located within the projection of the first black matrix 510, so that the metal reflection can be prevented from affecting the light output of the display panel.

[0071] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the display panel includes a second black matrix 520, and the second black matrix 520 is arranged on a side of the second metal layer 820 away from the base substrate 100. In this embodiment, by forming the second black matrix 520 on a side of the second metal layer 820 away from the base substrate 100, metal reflection can be prevented and dark state reflectivity can be reduced, thereby preventing the reflection of the second metal layer 820 from affecting the light output of the display panel.

[0072] In some specific embodiments, when the material selected for the second metal layer 820 is a black wire, the second black matrix 520 may not be provided, so as to simplify the process. Of course, in some embodiments, when the material selected for the second metal layer 820 is a black wire, the second black matrix 520 may also be provided, and this application does not make any special limitation here.

[0073] like Figure 5 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a first groove 701 is formed on the surface of the organic layer 700, and the projection of the first groove 701 on the base substrate 100 overlaps at least part of the first black matrix 510 on the base substrate 100, and the first metal layer 810 and the second metal layer 820 are arranged in the first groove 701, and the second black matrix 520 located in the first groove 701 covers the first metal layer 810. Fig.10 As shown, in a specific embodiment, Fig.10The structure schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the touch film layer 800 located in the first groove 701 is shown. In the specific preparation process, the first metal layer 810 can be first formed in the first groove 701, and then the insulating layer 830 can be formed on the first metal layer 810. Then, the second metal layer 820 can be formed on the insulating layer 830, and finally the second black matrix 520 is covered on the second metal layer 820 and the insulating layer 830. In the first embodiment, the insulating layer 830 can be integrally formed, which can simplify the process. In another specific embodiment, Fig.11 The schematic diagram of the structure of the second embodiment of the touch film layer 800 located in the first groove 701 is shown. In the specific preparation process, the first metal layer 810 can be formed in the first groove 701 first, and then, a patterned insulating layer 830 is formed on the first metal layer 810. The insulating layer 830 can only cover the first metal layer 810 and avoid forming the insulating layer 830 in the remaining parts of the first groove 701. Then, the second metal layer 820 can be formed, and finally the second black matrix 520 is covered on the second metal layer 820 and the patterned insulating layer 830. Compared with the first embodiment, the insulating layer 830 in the second embodiment is not integrally formed, and the insulating layer 830 located in the first groove 701 has a fracture with another part of the insulating layer 830. In this way, after the second black matrix 520 is formed on the second metal layer 820, the second black matrix 520 can cover the side and top of the first metal layer 810, so that the reflectivity of the first metal layer 810 can be reduced.

[0074] like Fig.12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, at least two first pattern structures 640 are formed on the surface of the color filter 600 away from the base substrate 100. In this embodiment, Figure 1 On the basis of the display panel, after the color filter 600 is formed, a protrusion or groove can be formed on the surface of the color filter 600 away from the base substrate 100. These protrusions or grooves can be called the first pattern structure 640. In this way, when the light-emitting structure layer 200 emits light, the first pattern structure 640 can disperse the light emitted from the front, so that the light is transmitted in multiple directions, thereby further reducing the L-Decay at large angles. However, for the display panel manufactured in this way, the light from the front will be dispersed by the first pattern structure 640, causing part of the light to be emitted to the side. Although this can reduce the L-Decay at large angles, the light emitted to the side is easily reflected back and forth inside the display panel, resulting in a reduction in the overall light output of the display panel, which will sacrifice part of the light output. Therefore, it can be decided whether to adopt this method to reduce the L-Decay at large angles based on specific design requirements.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the patterned layer 400 is greater than the thickness of the color filter 600. In this embodiment, by making the thickness of the patterned layer 400 greater than the thickness of the color filter 600, the light emitted by the light emitting structure layer 200 can be better gathered toward the center of the pixel unit, thereby increasing the light extraction efficiency of the display panel.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the projection of the patterned structure on the base substrate 100 covers the light emitting area of ​​the pixel unit. In this embodiment, by making the projection of the patterned structure cover the light emitting area of ​​the pixel unit, the light extraction efficiency of the display panel can be further increased.

[0077] like Fig.13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, at least two second pattern structures 702 are formed on the surface of the organic layer 700 away from the base substrate 100. In this embodiment, Figure 1 On the basis of the display panel, after the organic layer 700 is formed, a protrusion or a groove can be formed on the surface of the organic layer 700 away from the base substrate 100. These protrusions or grooves can be called the second pattern structure 702. In this way, when the light-emitting structure layer 200 emits light, the second pattern structure 702 can disperse the light emitted from the front, so that the light is transmitted in multiple directions, thereby further reducing the L-Decay at a large angle. However, for the display panel manufactured in this way, since the light from the front will be dispersed by the first pattern structure 640, causing part of the light to be emitted to the side, although this can reduce the L-Decay at a large angle, the light emitted to the side is easily reflected back and forth inside the display panel, resulting in a reduction in the overall light output of the display panel, and the light output of part of the display panel will be sacrificed. Therefore, it can be decided whether to adopt this method to reduce the L-Decay at a large angle according to specific design requirements.

[0078] like Fig.14 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a first gap 601 is formed between the plurality of color filters 600, the first black matrix 510 is disposed in the first gap 601, and a portion of the first black matrix 510 covers the color filters 600 around the first gap 601, and the display panel further includes a third black matrix 530, the third black matrix 530 is disposed on a side of the touch film layer 800 away from the base substrate 100, and the projection of the third black matrix 530 on the base substrate 100 is located within the projection of the first black matrix 510 on the base substrate 100. In this embodiment, Figure 1On the basis of the display panel, the first black matrix 510 can be set in the first gap 601, and a part of the first black matrix 510 covers the color filter 600 around the first gap 601, so that the part of the color filter 600 located on the side of the first gap 601 is covered by the first black matrix 510, which can block the light at a part of the angle and increase the L-Decay at a large angle. In addition, the present embodiment is also provided with a third black matrix 530, and the projection of the third black matrix 530 on the base substrate 100 is located within the projection of the first black matrix 510 on the base substrate 100. By setting the third black matrix 530, the L-Decay at a large angle can be further increased. In a specific application scenario, the display panel can be applied to a vehicle-mounted display device, but when driving at night, the light emitted by the vehicle-mounted display device is easily projected onto the front windshield. During driving, the picture projected on the front windshield will affect the driving line of sight and cause certain safety hazards. The display panel in this embodiment can block light at a portion of the angles through the first black matrix 510 and the third black matrix 530 to increase the L-Decay at large angles. In this way, by reducing the angle of the output light of the display panel, excessive light is prevented from being projected onto the front windshield, thereby reducing the impact of the image projected on the front windshield on the driver's vision.

[0079] In combination with the above embodiments, it can be known that the display panel provided by the embodiments of the present application can increase the L-Decay at large angles as needed, or can slow down the L-Decay at large angles as needed. The difference in increasing or slowing down the L-Decay at large angles lies mainly in that in the display panel that increases the L-Decay at large angles, the light emitted from the side of the light emitted by the light-emitting structure layer 200 is absorbed by the third black matrix 530, thereby reducing the light emitted at large angles. In the display panel that slows down the L-Decay at large angles, the third black matrix 530 is not provided, so the light emitted from the side of the light emitted by the light-emitting structure layer 200 can be emitted normally.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the display panel further includes a buffer layer 710, and the buffer layer 710 is disposed between the touch film layer 800 and the organic layer 700. In this embodiment, before making the touch film layer 800, the buffer layer 710 can be deposited on the organic layer 700, and the material of the buffer layer 710 can be silicon nitride, so as to increase the reliability of the package. In addition, the buffer layer 710 can also protect the organic layer 700, and avoid damage to the organic layer 700 when making the first metal layer 810 of the touch film layer 800, and the buffer layer 710 can further shield the influence on the cathode and increase the signal amount of the touch. Of course, if the organic layer 700 can meet the relevant design requirements, the buffer layer 710 can also be omitted.

[0081] like Fig. 9As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present application, the display panel further includes a first planarization layer 900, which is disposed on a side of the touch film layer 800 away from the base substrate 100. In this embodiment, the first planarization layer 900 can prevent the touch film layer 800 from being exposed.

[0082] like Fig.15 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the encapsulation layer 300 includes a first inorganic encapsulation layer 310, a first organic encapsulation layer 320, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer 330, the first inorganic encapsulation layer 310 is arranged on a side of the light emitting structure layer 200 away from the base substrate 100, the patterned layer 400 and the color filter 600 are arranged on a side of the first inorganic encapsulation layer 310 away from the base substrate 100, and the first organic encapsulation layer 320 is arranged on a side of the patterned layer 400 and the color filter 600 away from the base substrate 100. In this embodiment, the patterned layer 400 and the color filter 600 are arranged between the first inorganic encapsulation layer 310 and the first organic encapsulation layer 320. In the specific preparation process, after the first inorganic encapsulation layer 310 is formed, the patterned layer 400 and the color filter 600 can be directly formed on the first inorganic encapsulation layer 310, and then the first organic encapsulation layer 320 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 330 are formed on the patterned layer 400 and the color filter 600, and finally the touch film layer 800 is formed on the second inorganic encapsulation layer 330. In the related art, when the patterned layer 400 is a material with a high refractive index, since the surface reflectivity of the high refractive index material is higher than that of the low refractive index material, it is easy to cause the dark state reflectivity of the EES structure and the COE structure stack to increase. In this application, placing the patterned layer 400 at the bottom of the color filter 600 can ensure that the reflectivity remains unchanged. In addition, in this embodiment, the patterned layer 400 and the touch film layer 800 are formed on the first inorganic encapsulation layer 310, and the first organic encapsulation layer 320 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 330 are formed on the patterned layer 400 and the touch film layer 800 to ensure the reliability of the light-emitting structure layer 200.

[0083] like Fig.16As shown, in some other embodiments of the present application, the encapsulation layer 300 includes a first inorganic encapsulation layer 310, a first organic encapsulation layer 320, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer 330 stacked in sequence from the side close to the light emitting structure layer 200, and the display panel further includes a touch film layer 800, which is arranged on the side of the second inorganic encapsulation layer 330 away from the light emitting structure layer 200, and the touch film layer 800 is arranged between the encapsulation layer 300 and the patterned layer 400. In this embodiment, the first inorganic encapsulation layer 310 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 330 can be deposited and formed by CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), so in some embodiments, the first inorganic encapsulation layer 310 can be called CVD1, and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 330 can be called CVD2. The material of the second inorganic encapsulation layer 330 may be silicon nitride or silicon oxide, or a stacked film layer of silicon nitride and silicon oxide. Since silicon nitride or silicon oxide has good chemical stability and high light transmittance, the material of the second inorganic encapsulation layer 330 may be silicon nitride or silicon oxide. The first organic encapsulation layer 320 may be deposited by IJP (Ink-Jet Printing).

[0084] In this embodiment, Figure 1 On the basis of the display panel, the first black matrix 510 can be set between two adjacent patterned structures 410, and the touch film layer 800 is set on the side of the second inorganic encapsulation layer 330 away from the light-emitting structure layer 200, and the touch film layer 800 is set between the encapsulation layer 300 and the patterned layer 400. In this way, the distance between the light-emitting structure layer 200 and the first black matrix 510 can be increased, and through the high refractive index patterned layer 400, the light can be gathered toward the center of the pixel unit, which can increase the large-angle L-Decay.

[0085] like Figures 17 to 20 As shown, in some specific preparation processes, Fig.17 It is shown that the first inorganic encapsulation layer 310, the first organic encapsulation layer 320, and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 330 can be sequentially deposited on the side of the light emitting structure layer 200 away from the base substrate 100. Fig.18 The touch film layer 800 is formed on the encapsulation layer 300, and then Fig.19 The patterned layer 400 is formed on the touch film layer 800, the patterned structures 410 in the patterned layer 400 correspond to the pixel units of the light emitting structure layer 200 one by one, and a first black matrix 510 is formed between adjacent patterned structures 410. Fig. 20It is shown that a color filter 600 is covered on the patterned structure 410 , so that each color filter 600 will correspond to a pixel unit of the light emitting structure layer 200 one by one, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display panel.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the touch film layer 800 includes a first metal layer 810, a second metal layer 820 and an insulating layer 830, the insulating layer 830 is arranged between the first metal layer 810 and the second metal layer 820, and the display panel also includes a second planarization layer 840, and the second planarization layer 840 is arranged on the side of the insulating layer 830 away from the base substrate 100. In this embodiment, the first metal layer 810 usually forms a bridge key, that is, a bridge structure of touch control, and the second metal layer 820 forms Tx and Rx wiring, which can be a mesh structure. In order to reduce resistance, the first metal layer 810 and the second metal layer 820 can be double-layer wiring, and the two can be connected through vias. In the specific preparation process, the first metal layer 810 can be formed on the organic layer 700 first, then the insulating layer 830 can be formed, and finally the second metal layer 820 can be formed. In this embodiment, by setting the touch film layer 800, the display panel can be provided with a touch function. In addition, the display panel in this embodiment further includes a second planarization layer 840 . The second planarization layer 840 is located on a side of the insulating layer 830 away from the base substrate 100 , so as to prevent the touch film layer 800 from being exposed.

[0087] Please refer to Fig. 20 In some embodiments of the present application, a second gap 602 is formed between the plurality of color filters 600, and the display panel further includes a fourth black matrix 540, which is disposed in the second gap 602, and a portion of the fourth black matrix 540 covers the color filters 600 around the second gap 602. In this embodiment, the fourth black matrix 540 covers the color filters 600 around the second gap 602, thereby preventing light from being transmitted to the outside from the side of the color filter 600, that is, absorbing light at a large angle, thereby increasing the large-angle L-Decay of the display panel.

[0088] like Fig.21 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the material of the first black matrix 510 is an organic material. In this embodiment, the first black matrix 510 can be made of an organic material with a low refractive index, for example, the refractive index of the organic material can be 1.4 to 1.55.

[0089] In some specific embodiments, the display panel further includes a third planarization layer 910, and the third planarization layer 910 is disposed on a side of the color filter 600 away from the base substrate 100. In this embodiment, the third planarization layer 910 can prevent the color filter 600 from being exposed.

Specifically, the display device in this embodiment is provided with a patterned structure 410 and a color filter 600 corresponding to the pixel unit of the display panel on the side away from the substrate 100, wherein the patterned structure 410 can be made of a material with a first refractive index, and the color filter 600 is made of a material with a second refractive index, and the second refractive index is less than the first refractive index, thereby forming a stacked structure with a refractive index difference, and the light emitted by the light emitting structure layer 200 can make the light converge toward the center of the pixel unit after passing through the patterned structure 410 and the color filter 600, thereby increasing the light extraction efficiency of the display panel. In addition, the first black matrix 510 is arranged between two adjacent patterned structures 410, and the projections of the first black matrix 510 and the patterned structure 410 on the substrate 100 do not overlap, so as to avoid sacrificing the light extraction at some angles, and further slow down the L-Decay at large angles.
