[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0047] ​​​​​Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the description and the claims, the words "comprise", "comprising", and the like are to be construed in an open, inclusive sense as "including, but not limited to." As used throughout the description and the claims, the term "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "an exemplary embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples" means that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic is included in at least one embodiment or example of the disclosure, but not necessarily all embodiments or examples. The above-mentioned terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the described features, structures, materials, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0048] Hereinafter, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used only for the purpose of description, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of the technical features indicated. Thus, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the disclosure, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise specified.

[0049] As used herein, "about", "approximately", or "around" includes the recited value and the average value within an acceptable range of deviation from the particular value, as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurement being discussed and the error associated with measuring a particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).

[0050] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional and / or plan view illustrations that are idealized exemplary illustrations. In the description of the exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the layers and regions are exaggerated for clarity. Accordingly, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, the exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an etched region illustrated as a rectangle will typically have rounded or curved features. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region of a device and are not intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.

[0051] As Figure 1As shown, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display device 100, which can be a television, a mobile phone, a computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a car computer, etc.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the display device 100 includes a display panel 1 , a frame 2 , a cover plate 3 , a circuit board 4 and other electronic components.

[0053] The longitudinal section of the frame 2 is U-shaped, the cover plate 3 is arranged on the opening side of the frame 2, the display panel 1, the circuit board 4 and other electronic components are all arranged in the frame 2, and the circuit board 4 is arranged on the side of the display panel 1 away from the cover plate 3.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the display device 100 further includes a circular polarizer 5 located between the cover plate 3 and the display panel 1. The circular polarizer 5 is configured to reduce the reflected light of the external light after being reflected by the metal structure in the display panel 1. Figure 3 The circular polarizer 5 can be attached to the cover plate 3 through the adhesive layer 6; for example, the circular polarizer 5 is attached to the cover plate 3 through optical glue.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the display panel 1 has a display area A and a peripheral area B located on at least one side of the display area A1. Figure 2 The peripheral area B surrounding the display area A is taken as an example for illustration.

[0056] The display area A is an area for displaying images; the peripheral area B is an area for not displaying images, and the peripheral area B is configured to set a display driving circuit, for example, a gate driving circuit and a source driving circuit.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the display area A includes a functional device setting area A2 and a main display area A1 surrounding the functional device setting area, and the main display area A1 is configured to set a plurality of sub-pixels P; an installation hole H is set in the functional device setting area A2, and the functional device setting area A2 includes a reserved area A21 surrounding the installation hole H.

[0058] Among them, at least one functional device can be set in the mounting hole H; the functional device can be a camera, an infrared sensor, a proximity sensor, an eye tracking module, a face recognition module, etc. For example, Figure 2 As shown, the functional device setting area A2 is a camera setting area, and the functional device is a camera.

[0059] SeeFigure 4A and Figure 4B The display panel 1 includes a display substrate 11 and an encapsulation layer 12 for encapsulating the display substrate 11 .

[0060] Here, the encapsulation layer 12 may be an encapsulation film or an encapsulation substrate.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 4B As shown, each sub-pixel P (see Figure 2 ) each includes a light-emitting device and a pixel driving circuit disposed on a substrate 111. The pixel driving circuit includes multiple thin-film transistors 112. The thin-film transistors 112 include an active layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a gate electrode, and a gate insulating layer. The source electrode and the drain electrode are respectively in contact with the active layer. In a direction perpendicular to and away from the substrate 111, the light-emitting device includes a first electrode 113, a light-emitting functional layer 114, and a second electrode 115.

[0062] Here, the first electrode 113 is the anode of the light-emitting device, and the second electrode 115 is the cathode of the light-emitting device; or the first electrode 113 is the cathode of the light-emitting device, and the second electrode 115 is the anode of the light-emitting device.

[0063] For example, Figure 4B As shown, the first electrode 113 is an anode of the light emitting device, and the second electrode 115 is a cathode of the light emitting device. The first electrode 113 is electrically connected to a source or drain of a thin film transistor 112 serving as a driving transistor among the plurality of thin film transistors 112.

[0064] The display substrate 11 further includes a pixel defining layer 116 . The pixel defining layer 116 includes a plurality of opening regions, and one light emitting device 312 is disposed in one of the opening regions.

[0065] In some embodiments, the light-emitting functional layer 114 includes only a light-emitting layer. In other embodiments, the light-emitting functional layer 114 includes, in addition to the light-emitting layer, at least one of an electron transporting layer (ETL), an electron injection layer (EIL), a hole transporting layer (HTL), and a hole injection layer (HIL).

[0066] like Figure 4B As shown, the display substrate 11 further includes a first planar layer 117 disposed between the thin film transistor 112 and the first electrode 113 .

[0067] likeFigure 4B As shown, the display substrate 11 further includes a second planar layer 118 disposed between the encapsulation layer 12 and the second electrode 115.

[0068] In a related technology, as Figure 3 As shown, the cover plate 3 is provided with a light shielding pattern 7' near the surface of the display panel 1, the inner boundary of the light shielding pattern 7' is projected onto the inside of the inner boundary of the reserved area A21 on the display panel 1 to prevent light leakage at the mounting hole H; the outer boundary of the light shielding pattern 7' is projected onto the outside of the outer boundary of the reserved area A21 or approximately coincides with the outer boundary of the reserved area A21 to shield the side wall burr of the mounting hole H and the cutting defects such as cracks of the edge of the mounting hole H.

[0069] However, in the manufacturing process of the display device 100 in the related technology, the cover plate 2 and the circular polarizer 5 need to be aligned once, and the process precision of the light shielding pattern 7' provided on the cover plate 3 is required to be higher. In this case, in order to ensure that the light shielding pattern 7' can shield the side wall burr of the mounting hole H and the cutting defects such as cracks of the reserved area A21 around the mounting hole H, and prevent light leakage at the mounting hole H, the width of the light shielding pattern 7' cannot be designed to be very small (the limit of the width of the light shielding pattern 7' can be 0.5mm), which causes the display area to be reduced and the screen ratio to be decreased.

[0070] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display module 1000, as shown in Figure 4B , Figure 5B and Figure 6B , having a functional device setting area A2 and a main display area A1 surrounding the functional device setting area A2; the functional device setting area A2 is provided with a mounting hole H, and the functional device setting area A2 includes a reserved area A21 surrounding the mounting hole H; the side wall of the mounting hole H is in a stepped or concave-convex structure.

[0071] As shown in Figure 4B and Figure 4C , the display module 1000 includes a display panel 1, a first light shielding pattern 7, an adhesive layer 6 and a second light shielding pattern 8, the first light shielding pattern 7 is disposed on the light-emitting side of the display panel 1, the orthographic projection of the first light shielding pattern 7 on the display panel 1 is approximately coincident with the reserved area A21 of the display panel 1 to shield the cutting defects such as cracks of the reserved area A21 around the mounting hole H; the adhesive layer 6 is disposed on the side of the first light shielding pattern 7 away from the display panel 1, and the mounting hole H penetrates the display panel 1, the first light shielding pattern 7 and the adhesive layer 6; the second light shielding pattern 8 covers at least the side wall of the mounting hole H to shield the side wall burr of the mounting hole H and effectively prevent light leakage at the mounting hole H.

[0072] As can be seen from the above, in the display module 1000 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first light-shielding pattern 7 is arranged on the light-emitting side of the display panel 1, and the bonding layer 6 is arranged on the side of the first light-shielding pattern 7 away from the display panel 1. In this way, the first light-shielding pattern 7 can be directly formed on the reserved area A21 on the display panel 1 by using a deposition process (for example, evaporation) or a photolithography process, which can reduce the process difficulty compared with arranging the first light-shielding pattern 7 on the cover plate 3. Based on this, compared with the related art, the width of the first light-shielding pattern 7 in the display module 1000 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure can be designed to be smaller (the width of the first light-shielding pattern 7 is approximately 0.3 mm), thereby increasing the display area.

[0073] In addition, the side wall of the mounting hole H has a stepped or concave-convex structure, which can increase the contact area between the second light-shielding pattern 8 and the mounting hole H, strengthen the adhesion of the second light-shielding pattern 8 to the mounting hole H, and reduce the risk of the second light-shielding pattern 8 being separated.

[0074] In some embodiments, the material of the first light-shielding pattern 7 and the second light-shielding pattern 8 is black ink or black hot melt adhesive. Of course, it is also feasible to select other black light-shielding materials for the material of the first light-shielding pattern 7 and the second light-shielding pattern 8, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the display module 1000 further includes a bonding layer 6 arranged on the side of the first light-shielding pattern 7 away from the display panel 1. Figure 4C , Figure 5C and Figure 6C In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the display module 1000 further includes a bonding layer 6 arranged on the side of the first light-shielding pattern 7 away from the display panel 1.

[0076] In order to prevent external ambient light from interfering with the image to be displayed, in some embodiments, the display module 1000 described above further includes a circular polarizer 5, the circular polarizer 5 is arranged between the display panel 1 and the bonding layer 6, the first light-shielding pattern 7 is located on the side of the circular polarizer 5 close to the display panel 1, and the mounting hole H penetrates the circular polarizer 5. In this case, the circular polarizer 5 can effectively prevent external ambient light from interfering with the image to be displayed.

[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the display module 1000 further includes a bonding layer 6 arranged on the side of the first light-shielding pattern 7 away from the display panel 1. Figure 7 In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the display module 1000 further includes a bonding layer 6 arranged on the side of the first light-shielding pattern 7 away from the display panel 1. In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the display module 1000 further includes a bonding layer 6 arranged on the side of the first light-shielding pattern 7 away from the display panel 1.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4C , Figure 5C and Figure 6C , the mounting hole H comprises a plurality of sub-holes arranged along the thickness direction of the display panel 1, and the side walls of at least two adjacent sub-holes are not flush.

[0079] It should be noted that the surface of the side wall of each sub-hole is flat, and the side wall of each sub-hole can be substantially parallel to the thickness direction of the display panel 1 (see Figure 4B , Figure 5B and Figure 6B ), or the side wall of each sub-hole can form an angle with the thickness direction of the display panel 1 (see Figure 4C , Figure 5C and Figure 6C ). Among them, in the case where the side wall of each sub-hole forms an angle with the thickness direction of the display panel 1, the difference between the maximum aperture and the minimum aperture of each sub-hole is 30 μm to 100 μm.

[0081] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 4C , Figure 5C and Figure 6C , the second light shielding pattern 8 comprises a first sub-pattern 81 covering the side wall of the first sub-hole H1, a second sub-pattern 82 covering the side wall of the second sub-hole H2, and a third sub-pattern 83 covering the side wall of the third sub-hole H3.

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4C , the aperture of the first sub-hole H1 near one end of the second sub-hole H2 is smaller than the aperture of the second sub-hole H2 near one end of the first sub-hole H1, and the side wall of the first sub-hole H1 forms a stepped structure with the side wall of the second sub-hole H2; the aperture of the second sub-hole H2 near one end inside the third sub-hole H3 is smaller than the aperture of the third sub-hole H3 near one end of the second sub-hole H2, and the side wall of the second sub-hole H2 forms a stepped structure with the side wall of the third sub-hole H3.

[0083] Correspondingly, as shown inFigure 4C As shown in FIG. 8, the boundary of the side wall of the first sub-hole H1 close to the second sub-hole H2 is closer to the axis of the mounting hole H than the boundary of the side wall of the second sub-hole H2 close to the first sub-hole H1; the boundary of the side wall of the second sub-hole H2 close to the third sub-hole H3 is closer to the axis of the mounting hole H than the boundary of the side wall of the third sub-hole H3 close to the second sub-hole H2.

[0084] In some other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the hole diameter of the first sub-hole H1 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2 is smaller than the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the first sub-hole H1, and the side wall of the first sub-hole H1 is flush with the side wall of the second sub-hole H2; the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the third sub-hole H3 is equal to the hole diameter of the third sub-hole H3 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2, and the side wall of the second sub-hole H2 is flush with the side wall of the third sub-hole H3.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 9, the hole diameter of the first sub-hole H1 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2 is smaller than the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the first sub-hole H1, and the side wall of the first sub-hole H1 is flush with the side wall of the second sub-hole H2; the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the third sub-hole H3 is equal to the hole diameter of the third sub-hole H3 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2, and the side wall of the second sub-hole H2 is flush with the side wall of the third sub-hole H3. Figure 5C As shown in FIG. 9, the hole diameter of the first sub-hole H1 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2 is smaller than the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the first sub-hole H1, and the side wall of the first sub-hole H1 is flush with the side wall of the second sub-hole H2; the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the third sub-hole H3 is equal to the hole diameter of the third sub-hole H3 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2, and the side wall of the second sub-hole H2 is flush with the side wall of the third sub-hole H3.

[0086] Figure 6C As shown in FIG. 9, the hole diameter of the first sub-hole H1 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2 is smaller than the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the first sub-hole H1, and the side wall of the first sub-hole H1 is flush with the side wall of the second sub-hole H2; the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the third sub-hole H3 is equal to the hole diameter of the third sub-hole H3 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2, and the side wall of the second sub-hole H2 is flush with the side wall of the third sub-hole H3.

[0087] As shown in FIG. 9, the hole diameter of the first sub-hole H1 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2 is smaller than the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the first sub-hole H1, and the side wall of the first sub-hole H1 is flush with the side wall of the second sub-hole H2; the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the third sub-hole H3 is equal to the hole diameter of the third sub-hole H3 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2, and the side wall of the second sub-hole H2 is flush with the side wall of the third sub-hole H3. Figure 6C As shown in FIG. 9, the hole diameter of the first sub-hole H1 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2 is smaller than the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the first sub-hole H1, and the side wall of the first sub-hole H1 is flush with the side wall of the second sub-hole H2; the hole diameter of the second sub-hole H2 close to one end of the third sub-hole H3 is equal to the hole diameter of the third sub-hole H3 close to one end of the second sub-hole H2, and the side wall of the second sub-hole H2 is flush with the side wall of the third sub-hole H3.

[0088] ​The display panel 1 is provided with multiple layers of inorganic films. Compared with organic films, the inorganic films are more fragile. During the process of opening holes in the display panel 1, the edges of the holes corresponding to the inorganic films are prone to cracks. Based on this, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4C 、 5C and Figure 6C , the first sub-hole H1 penetrates the display panel 1 and the first light shielding pattern 7, the second sub-hole H2 penetrates the circular polarizer 5, and the third sub-hole H3 penetrates the adhesive layer 6.

[0089] In this case, the display panel 1 only needs to be opened once, and the side walls of the sub-holes corresponding to the display panel 1 do not need to be cut, reducing the risk of cracks at the edges of the sub-holes corresponding to the display panel 1. The width of the reserved area A21 of the display panel 1 can be designed to be narrower.

[0090] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the film layers penetrated by the first sub-hole H1, the second sub-hole H2, and the third sub-hole H3 are not limited thereto.

[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4B 、 Figure 5B and Figure 6B , the display module 1000 further includes a first protective layer 9, which is arranged on the side of the adhesive layer 6 away from the display panel 1. The first protective layer 9 protects the surface of the side of the adhesive layer 6 away from the display panel 1.

[0092] In order to manufacture the display device 100, the first protective layer 9 of the above-mentioned display module 1000 needs to be peeled off in the subsequent process to attach the cover plate 3 to the adhesive layer. Based on this, the first protective layer 9 can be a release film, which is easy to peel off.

[0093] On this basis, as shown in Figure 4C 、 Figure 5C and Figure 6C , the mounting hole H further includes a fourth sub-hole H4 penetrating the first protective layer 9. The aperture of the end of the fourth sub-hole H4 close to the third sub-hole H3 is larger than the aperture of the end of the third sub-hole H3 close to the fourth sub-hole H4. The side wall of the fourth sub-hole H4 and the side wall of the third sub-hole H3 form a stepped structure. For example, the aperture of the end of the fourth sub-hole H4 close to the third sub-hole H3 is 100 μm-300 μm larger than the aperture of the end of the third sub-hole H3 close to the fourth sub-hole H4.

[0094] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 4C 、 Figure 5C and Figure 6CAs shown, the second light-shielding pattern 8 further includes a fourth sub-pattern 84, which covers a portion of the surface of the bonding layer 6 away from the display panel 1 beyond the first protective layer 9. For example, the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-pattern 84 on the display panel 1 is located within the reserved area A21 of the display panel 1; for another example, the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-pattern 84 on the display panel 1 substantially coincides with the reserved area A21 of the display panel.

[0095] In this case, since the fourth sub-pattern 84 also has a large-area adhesion with the bonding layer 6, the risk of the first protective layer 9 being pulled off at the contact position with the fourth sub-pattern 84 can be reduced during the peeling of the first protective layer 9, facilitating the tearing-off.

[0096] In addition, the fourth sub-pattern 84 can also shield the cracks of the edges of the sub-holes corresponding to the reserved area A21 of the side of the display panel 1 away from the first light-shielding pattern 7, and further reduce the risk of light leakage.

[0097] In the preparation of the fourth sub-pattern 84, the fourth sub-pattern 84 is integrally arranged with the portion of the second light-shielding pattern 8 covering the side wall of the mounting hole H, which can simplify the process and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4B , Figure 5B and Figure 6B , the display module 1000 further includes a second protective layer 10 arranged on the side of the display panel 1 away from the bonding layer 6 to support and protect the display panel 1.

[0099] On this basis, as shown in Figure 4C , Figure 5C and Figure 6C , the mounting hole H further includes a fifth sub-hole H5 penetrating through the second protective layer 10, the aperture of the fifth sub-hole H5 near one end of the first sub-hole H1 is equal to the aperture of the first sub-hole H1 near the fifth sub-hole H5, and the side wall of the fifth sub-hole H5 is flush with the side wall of the first sub-hole H1.

[0100] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 4C , Figure 5C and Figure 6C , the second light-shielding pattern further includes a fifth sub-pattern covering the side wall of the fifth sub-hole.

[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4C , Figure 5C and Figure 6C , the surface of the second light-shielding pattern 8 near the axis of the mounting hole H is flat to reduce the adverse interference of the second light-shielding pattern 8 on the external light received by the opening at one end of the display side of the display panel 1, and ensure that more external light can enter the functional device through the mounting hole H.

[0102] In addition, the surface of the second light-shielding pattern 8 close to the axis of the mounting hole H is substantially parallel to the axis of the mounting hole H. That is, the inner diameter of the second light-shielding pattern 8 is approximately equal, and the external light received by the opening corresponding to one end of the display side of the display panel 1 can mostly enter the functional device through the mounting hole H, so that sufficient external light can enter the functional device through the mounting hole H in the case that the functional device setting area A2 occupies a smaller display area.

[0103] Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a manufacturing method of the display device 100, as shown in the following S100-S600. Figure 8

[0104] S100, providing a display panel 1, the display panel 1 comprising a functional device setting area A2 and a main display area A1 surrounding the functional device setting area A2.

[0105] S200, manufacturing a first light-shielding pattern 7 on the light-out side of the display panel 1, the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding pattern 7 on the display panel 1 substantially coincides with the functional device setting area A2 of the display panel 1.

[0106] Exemplarily, the first light-shielding film is formed on the light-out side of the display panel 1 by coating, and then the first light-shielding pattern 7 is obtained by sequentially exposing, developing and etching, the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding pattern 7 on the display panel 1 substantially coincides with the functional device setting area A2 of the display panel 1.

[0107] S300, sequentially arranging a circular polarizer 5, an adhesive layer 6 and a first protective layer 9 on the light-out side of the display panel 1 with the first light-shielding pattern 7.

[0108] Exemplarily, the circular polarizer 5 can be adhered to the display panel 1 and the first light-shielding pattern 7 on the side of the circular polarizer 5 away from the display panel 1 by adhesion; the adhesive layer 6 and the first protective layer 9 are integrally provided and directly adhered to the surface of the circular polarizer 5 away from the display panel 1.

[0109] S400, opening a hole in the functional device setting area A2 of the display panel 1 to form an initial hole, the initial hole penetrating through the display panel 1, the first light-shielding pattern 7, the circular polarizer 5, the adhesive layer 6 and the first protective layer 9.

[0110] Exemplarily, the focal point of a laser beam is converged on the side of the display panel 1 away from the adhesive layer 6 on the side of the first protective layer 9 away from the display panel 1, and the first protective layer 9, the adhesive layer 6, the circular polarizer 5, the first light-shielding pattern 7 and the display panel 1 are cut to form the initial hole.

[0111] ​For example, a pulse femtosecond laser is used to emit laser light, the frequency of the laser light is 500 KHZ-800 KHZ, the corresponding cutting speed is 300 mm / s-1500 mm / s, and the initial hole is formed by cutting 30-100 times.

[0112] S500, etching the side wall of the initial hole to make the side wall of the initial hole present a stepped or concave-convex structure, and forming the mounting hole H.

[0113] For example, a pulse femtosecond laser is used to emit laser light, the frequency of the laser light is 500 KHZ-800 KHZ, the corresponding cutting speed is 300 mm / s-1500 mm / s, and the initial hole is formed by cutting 30-100 times.

[0114] For example, first, the focal point of a laser beam is converged on the circular polarizer 5 to perform etching, so that the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the circular polarizer 5 is recessed by 50-150 μm in the direction away from the axis of the mounting hole H, compared with the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the display panel 1; then, the focal point of the laser beam is converged on the adhesive layer 6 to perform etching, so that the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the adhesive layer 6 is substantially flush with the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the circular polarizer 5; finally, the focal point of the laser beam is converged on the first protective layer 9 to perform etching, so that the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the first protective layer 9 is recessed by 100-300 μm in the direction away from the axis of the mounting hole H, compared with the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the circular polarizer 5, so that the side wall of the initial hole presents a stepped structure, and the mounting hole H is formed (see Figure 5C ).

[0115] For example, first, the focal point of a laser beam is converged on the circular polarizer 5 to perform etching, so that the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the circular polarizer 5 is recessed by 50-200 μm in the direction away from the axis of the mounting hole H; then, the focal point of the laser beam is converged on the first protective layer 9 to perform etching, so that the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the first protective layer 9 is recessed by 50-200 μm in the direction away from the axis of the mounting hole H, so that the side wall of the initial hole presents a concave-convex structure, and the mounting hole H is formed (see Figure 6C ).

[0116] For example, at least two focal points of at least two laser beams are converged on at least two of the display panel, the circular polarizer, the adhesive layer and the first protective layer, respectively, and at least two laser beams are used to synchronously etch the display panel, the circular polarizer, the adhesive layer and the first protective layer, so that the side wall of the initial hole presents a stepped or concave-convex structure.

[0117] For example, three focal points of three lasers are converged on the circular polarizer 5, the adhesive layer 6 and the first protective layer 9 respectively to perform etching, so that the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the circular polarizer 5 and the adhesive layer 6 is inwardly recessed by 50-150 μm in the direction away from the axis of the mounting hole H, compared with the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the display panel; and the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the first protective layer 9 is inwardly recessed by 100-300 μm in the direction away from the axis of the mounting hole H, compared with the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the circular polarizer 5 and the adhesive layer 6, so that the side wall of the initial hole is in a stepped shape, and the mounting hole H is formed (see Figure 4C ).

[0118] For another example, two focal points of two lasers are converged on the circular polarizer 5 and the first protective layer 9 respectively to perform etching, so that the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the circular polarizer 5 is inwardly recessed by 50-200 μm in the direction away from the axis of the mounting hole H; and the side wall corresponding to the part of the mounting hole H penetrating through the first protective layer 9 is inwardly recessed by 50-200 μm in the direction away from the axis of the mounting hole H, so that the side wall of the initial hole is in a concave-convex structure, and the mounting hole H is formed (see Figure 6C ).

[0119] S600, a second light-shielding pattern 8 is made, which covers at least the side wall of the mounting hole H.

[0120] Exemplarily, black ink is sprayed on the side wall of the mounting hole H or black hot-melt adhesive is applied on the side wall of the mounting hole H to form the second light-shielding pattern 8.

[0121] In some embodiments, before S400, the manufacturing method of the display device 100 further includes S310.

[0122] S310, a second protective layer 10 is arranged on the side of the display panel 1 away from the adhesive layer 6.

[0123] On this basis, the initial hole formed by the opening in the functional device arrangement area A2 of the display panel 1 in S400 also penetrates through the second protective layer 10.

[0124] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , before S600, the manufacturing method of the display device 100 further includes S510, and after S600, the manufacturing method of the display device 100 further includes S610.

[0125] S510, a process film is arranged on the side of the second protective layer 10 away from the display panel 1, so as to facilitate the transfer of the semi-finished product in the subsequent manufacturing process of the second light-shielding pattern 8, and facilitate the manufacturing of the second light-shielding pattern 8.

[0126] S610, removing the process membrane.

[0127] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 After S600 , the manufacturing method of the display device 100 further includes S620 .

[0128] S620 , removing the first protective layer 10 , and placing a cover plate 3 on a side of the adhesive layer 6 away from the display panel 1 .

[0129] Some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a display device 100, such as Figure 4A 、 Figure 5A and Figure 6A As shown, it includes a display module 1000 and a cover plate 3, the display module 1000 has a functional device setting area A2, and a main display area A1 surrounding the functional device setting area A2; a mounting hole H is provided in the functional device setting area A2, and the functional device setting area A2 includes a reserved area A21 surrounding the mounting hole H; the side wall of the mounting hole H is stepped or concave-convex structure.

[0130] Among them, the display module 1000 includes a display panel 1, a first shading pattern 7, an adhesive layer 6 and a second shading pattern 8. The first shading pattern 7 is arranged on the light-emitting side of the display panel 1, and the orthographic projection of the first shading pattern 7 on the display panel 1 roughly coincides with the reserved area A21 of the display panel 1; the adhesive layer 6 is arranged on the side of the first shading pattern 7 away from the display panel 1, and the mounting hole H passes through the display panel 1, the first shading pattern 7 and the adhesive layer 6; the second shading pattern 8 at least covers the side wall of the mounting hole H; the cover plate 3 is arranged on the side of the adhesive layer 6 away from the display panel 1.

[0131] In some embodiments, see Figure 4C 、 Figure 5C and Figure 6C The mounting hole H includes a plurality of sub-holes, and the plurality of sub-holes are arranged along the thickness direction of the display panel 1, and the side walls of at least two adjacent sub-holes are not flush.

[0132] It should be noted that the surface of the side wall of each sub-hole is flat, and the side wall of each sub-hole can be substantially parallel to the thickness direction of the display panel 1 (see Figure 4B 、 Figure 5B and Figure 6B ), or the sidewall of each sub-hole may be at a certain angle to the thickness direction of the display panel 1 (see Figure 4C 、 Figure 5C and Figure 6C Wherein, when the sidewall of each sub-hole forms a certain angle with the thickness direction of the display panel 1, the difference between the maximum aperture and the minimum aperture of each sub-hole is 30 μm to 100 μm.

[0133] For example, Figure 4C 、Figure 5C and Figure 6C As shown, the mounting hole H includes a first sub-hole H1, a second sub-hole H2 and a third sub-hole H3, which are arranged in sequence along the thickness direction of the display panel 1 and from the display panel 1 to the adhesive layer 6.

[0134] Correspondingly, such as Figure 4C 、 Figure 5C and Figure 6C As shown, the second light shielding pattern 8 includes a first sub-pattern 81 covering the sidewall of the first sub-hole H1 , a second sub-pattern 82 covering the sidewall of the second sub-hole H2 , and a third sub-pattern 83 covering the sidewall of the third sub-hole H3 .

[0135] In some embodiments, as Figure 4A and Figure 4C As shown, the diameter of the first sub-hole H1 at one end near the second sub-hole H2 is smaller than the diameter of the second sub-hole H2 at one end near the first sub-hole H1, and the sidewall of the first sub-hole H1 forms a step structure with the sidewall of the second sub-hole H2; the diameter of the second sub-hole H2 at one end near the inner third sub-hole H3 is smaller than the diameter of the third sub-hole H3 at one end near the second sub-hole H2, and the sidewall of the second sub-hole H2 forms a step structure with the sidewall of the third sub-hole H3. For example, the diameter of the first sub-hole H1 at one end near the second sub-hole H2 is 50μm to 150μm smaller than the diameter of the second sub-hole H2 at one end near the first sub-hole H1, and the diameter of the second sub-hole H2 at one end near the inner third sub-hole H3 is 50μm to 150μm smaller than the diameter of the third sub-hole H3 at one end near the second sub-hole H2.

[0136] Correspondingly, such as Figure 4A and Figure 4C As shown, the boundary of the side wall of the first sub-pattern 81 close to the first sub-hole H1 is close to the axis of the mounting hole H relative to the boundary of the side wall of the second sub-pattern 82 close to the second sub-hole H2; the boundary of the side wall of the second sub-pattern 82 close to the second sub-hole H2 is close to the axis of the mounting hole H relative to the boundary of the side wall of the third sub-pattern 83 close to the third sub-hole H3.

[0137] In other embodiments, Figure 5A and Figure 5C As shown, the diameter of the first sub-hole H1 near the second sub-hole H2 is smaller than the diameter of the second sub-hole H2 near the first sub-hole H1, and the sidewalls of the first sub-hole H1 and the second sub-hole H2 form a stepped structure. The diameter of the second sub-hole H2 near the third sub-hole H3 is equal to the diameter of the third sub-hole H3 near the second sub-hole H2, and the sidewalls of the second sub-hole H2 and the third sub-hole H3 are flush. For example, the diameter of the first sub-hole H1 near the second sub-hole H2 is 50μm to 150μm smaller than the diameter of the second sub-hole H2 near the first sub-hole H1.

[0138] Correspondingly, such as Figure 5A and Figure 5C As shown, the boundary of the first sub-pattern 81 near the side wall of the first sub-hole H1 is close to the axis of the mounting hole H relative to the boundary of the second sub-pattern 82 near the side wall of the second sub-hole H2; the boundary of the second sub-pattern 82 near the side wall of the second sub-hole H2 is flush with the boundary of the third sub-pattern 83 near the side wall of the third sub-hole H3.

[0139] In some other embodiments, Figure 6A and Figure 6C As shown, the diameter of the first sub-hole H1 at the end closest to the second sub-hole H2 is smaller than the diameter of the second sub-hole H2 at the end closest to the first sub-hole H1, and the sidewalls of the first sub-hole H1 and the second sub-hole H2 form a stepped structure. The diameter of the second sub-hole H2 at the end closest to the third sub-hole H3 is larger than the diameter of the third sub-hole H3 at the end closest to the second sub-hole H2, and the sidewalls of the third sub-hole H3 are raised relative to the sidewalls of the second sub-hole H2. For example, the diameter of the first sub-hole H1 at the end closest to the second sub-hole H2 is 50μm to 200μm smaller than the diameter of the second sub-hole H2 at the end closest to the first sub-hole H1, and the diameter of the second sub-hole H2 at the end closest to the third sub-hole H3 is 50μm to 200μm larger than the diameter of the third sub-hole H3 at the end closest to the second sub-hole H2.

[0140] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure Figure 6A and Figure 6C As shown, the boundary of the side wall of the first sub-pattern 81 close to the first sub-hole H1 is close to the axis of the mounting hole H relative to the boundary of the side wall of the second sub-pattern 82 close to the second sub-hole H2; the boundary of the side wall of the second sub-pattern 82 close to the second sub-hole H2 is away from the axis of the mounting hole H relative to the boundary of the side wall of the third sub-pattern 83 close to the third sub-hole H3.

[0141] In some embodiments, the display module 1000 of the display device 100 further includes a circular polarizer 5 , which is disposed between the display panel 1 and the adhesive layer 6 , and the first shading pattern 7 is located on the side of the circular polarizer 5 close to the display panel 1 , and the mounting hole H passes through the circular polarizer 5 .

[0142] The display panel 1 is provided with multiple layers of inorganic films, which are more fragile than organic films. During the process of drilling holes in the display panel 1, cracks are easily generated at the edges of the holes corresponding to the inorganic films. Therefore, in some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the first sub-hole H1 penetrates the display panel 1 and the first light-shielding pattern 7, the second sub-hole H2 penetrates the circular polarizer 5, and the third sub-hole H3 penetrates the adhesive layer 6.

[0143] In this case, the display panel 1 only needs to be opened once, and the side wall of the sub-hole corresponding to the display panel 1 does not need to be cut, thereby reducing the risk of cracks on the edge of the sub-hole corresponding to the display panel 1, and the width of the reserved area A21 of the display panel 1 can be designed to be narrower.

[0144] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the film layers through which the first sub-hole H1, the second sub-hole H2 and the third sub-hole H3 pass are not limited thereto.

[0145] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4A 、 Figure 5A and Figure 6A , the second light shielding pattern 8 includes a fourth sub-pattern 84 (see Figure 4C 、 Figure 5C and Figure 6C ), the fourth sub-pattern 84 covers the part of the bonding layer 6 away from the surface of the display panel 1 around the mounting hole H; and the side of the cover plate 3 close to the display panel 1 is in contact with the surface of the fourth sub-pattern 84.

[0146] Here, the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-pattern 84 on the display panel 1 is located within the reserved area A21 of the display panel 1; or, the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-pattern 84 on the display panel 1 is substantially coincident with the reserved area A21 of the display panel.

[0147] In this case, since the fourth sub-pattern 84 also has a large area of adhesion with the bonding layer 6, during the peeling of the first protective layer 9 above the bonding layer 6 in the manufacturing process of the display device 100, the risk of the first protective layer 9 being pulled off at the contact position with the fourth sub-pattern 84 can be reduced, thereby facilitating the tearing.

[0148] In addition, the fourth sub-pattern 84 can also shield the cracks on the edge of the sub-hole corresponding to the reserved area A21 on the side of the display panel 1 away from the display panel 1, and further reduce the risk of light leakage.

[0149] In the process of preparing the fourth sub-pattern 84, the fourth sub-pattern 84 is integrally provided with the part of the second light shielding pattern 8 covering the side wall of the mounting hole H, so that the process can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0150] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4A 、 Figure 5A and Figure 6A , the display module 1000 of the display device 100 further includes a second protective layer 10, the second protective layer 10 is arranged on the side of the display panel 1 away from the bonding layer 6, and the mounting hole H penetrates the second protective layer 10.

[0151] On this basis, refer to Figure 4C 、 Figure 5C and Figure 6CThe mounting hole H further comprises a fifth sub-hole H5 penetrating the second protective layer 10, the aperture of the fifth sub-hole H5 near one end is equal to the aperture of the first sub-hole H1 near the other end, and the side wall of the fifth sub-hole H5 is flush with the side wall of the first sub-hole H1.

[0152] Correspondingly, referring to Figure 4C , Figure 5C and Figure 6C , the second light-shielding pattern further comprises a fifth sub-pattern covering the side wall of the fifth sub-hole.

[0153] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4A , Figure 5A and Figure 6A , the surface of the second light-shielding pattern 8 near the axis of the mounting hole H is flat, so as to reduce the adverse interference of the external light received by the opening of the second light-shielding pattern 8 corresponding to the display side of the display panel 1, and ensure that more external light can enter the functional device through the mounting hole H.

[0154] In addition, the surface of the second light-shielding pattern 8 near the axis of the mounting hole H is substantially parallel to the axis of the mounting hole H. That is, the inner diameter of the second light-shielding pattern 8 is approximately equal, and most of the external light received by the opening of the second light-shielding pattern 8 corresponding to the display side of the display panel 1 can enter the functional device through the mounting hole H, so that sufficient external light can enter the functional device through the mounting hole H in the case that the functional device setting area A2 occupies a smaller display area.

[0155] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, but the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present disclosure, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
