In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0051] Next, in conjunction with the attached Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the light-emitting device, display panel, and display device provided by the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0052] AsFigures 1 to 10 As shown in Figures 1 to 10 , the light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a substrate 10, a first electrode layer 31, a light-emitting layer 30, and a second electrode layer 32. A plurality of spaced-apart protrusion structures 20 are provided on the substrate 10. The protrusion structure 20 may include a first protrusion 21 and at least one gentle structure located at the edge of the first protrusion 21. The number of the gentle structures may be one or more. For example, when the number of the gentle structures is one, the gentle structure may be arranged around the edge of the first protrusion 21 for one week; when the number of the gentle structures is multiple, the multiple gentle structures may be spaced apart at the edge of the first protrusion 21. The steepness of the convex boundary of the protrusion structure can be reduced by the gentle structure. The first electrode layer 31 is conformally provided on the protrusion structure 20, the light-emitting layer 30 conformally covers the first electrode layer 31, and the second electrode layer 32 is provided on the side of the light-emitting layer 30 away from the substrate 10. The light-emitting layer 30 emits light through the first electrode layer 31 and the second electrode layer 32. At least one gentle structure located at the edge of the first protrusion 21 enables the light-emitting layer 30 and / or the second electrode layer 32 to be gently transitionally connected between adjacent protrusion structures 20. The steepness of the convex boundary of the protrusion structure 20 can be reduced by the gentle structure, the steep climbing of the organic layer can be avoided, the breakage and puncture of the electrode can be prevented, the problems such as leakage current, weakening of blue light, high power consumption, and low brightness caused by electrode puncture can be avoided, and the display effect can be improved.

[0053] The substrate 10 may be made of a light-transmitting material. For example, inorganic glass, organic glass, a plastic substrate, or other organic material substrates. The substrate 10 may be rigid or flexible. A buffer layer or an insulating layer may also be included on the substrate 10 to provide a substrate surface with better performance. A plurality of spaced-apart protrusion structures 20 are provided on the substrate 10. The protrusion structure 20 may be made of materials such as silicon nitride and silicon oxide. The plurality of protrusion structures 20 may be evenly spaced apart, and the plurality of protrusion structures 20 may be arranged in an array.

[0054] The substrate 10 may have a first region, a second region, and a third region. Multiple spaced-apart convex structures 20 may be provided in each of the first region, the second region, and the third region, and the multiple convex structures 20 in each region may be arranged in an array. The shapes, sizes, and materials of the convex structures 20 in the first region, the second region, and the third region may be the same or different. For example, the shapes, sizes, and materials of the convex structures 20 in the first region, the second region, and the third region may be the same. The distribution densities of the convex structures 20 in the first region, the second region, and the third region may be the same or different, and the distribution densities of the convex structures 20 in different regions may be selected according to the requirements of the first electrode layer 31. The surface of the convex structure 20 has a first electrode layer 31, and the first electrode layer 31 may completely cover the surface of the convex structure 20. The shape of the first electrode layer 31 is consistent with the surface shape of the convex structure 20. The light-emitting layer 30 covers the first electrode layer 31, and the light-emitting layer 30 may be an organic layer. The substrate 10 may include a substrate 11, a connection layer 12, and connection posts 13. The substrate 11 may be a glass substrate, the connection layer 12 may be TiN, the connection layer 12 is electrically connected to the connection posts 13, a circuit may be provided on the substrate 11, the connection posts 13 may be electrically connected to the circuit, and the first electrode layer 31 may be electrically connected to the connection layer 12. Each convex structure 20 may be provided on the corresponding connection layer 12, and the connection posts 13 may be provided in the middle region of the connection layer 12. The light-emitting layer 30 may include a first light-emitting layer, a second light-emitting layer, and a third light-emitting layer, and the first light-emitting layer, the second light-emitting layer, and the third light-emitting layer may respectively correspond to different first electrode layers 31. The wavelengths of the light emitted by at least two of the first light-emitting layer, the second light-emitting layer, and the third light-emitting layer are different. For example, the first light-emitting layer may emit red light, the second light-emitting layer may emit green light, and the third light-emitting layer may emit blue light.

[0055] The second electrode layer 32 is provided on the side of the light-emitting layer 30 away from the substrate 10. The first electrode layer 31 may be an anode, and the second electrode layer 32 may be a cathode. The second electrode layer 32 may cover the entire surface of the light-emitting layer 30. The curved surface of the portion of the second electrode layer 32 located between adjacent convex structures 20 may be transitionally connected through a flat surface 33. The flat surface 33 may be a flat surface or a surface that is approximately flat. The organic layer evaporated on the first electrode layer 31 does not have a steep slope, and the second electrode layer 32 on the surface of the light-emitting layer 30 does not have a steep slope either. Thus, the curved surface of the portion of the second electrode layer 32 located between adjacent convex structures 20 can be transitionally connected through the flat surface 33. The transition connection position is gentle and does not have a steep slope, preventing the electrodes from breaking and puncturing.

[0056] The first electrode layer 31 can be an anode. The first electrode layer 31 can be a single-layer or stacked structure and can be made of materials such as metals and their mixtures like Ag, Mg, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Ir, or Cr, or can be made of metal oxide materials with conductivity such as ITO, IZO, or IGZO. The second electrode layer 32 can be a cathode, and the cathode can have semi-transmissive or transmissive properties. Optionally, the cathode can include Ag, Mg, Cu, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Ir, Cr, Li, Ca, LiF / Ca, LiF / Al, Mo, Ti, or their compounds or mixtures, such as a mixture of Ag and Mg. In some embodiments, the cathode can include a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). For example, the cathode can include tungsten oxide (W x O x ), titanium oxide (TiO2), indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), or magnesium oxide (MgO), etc. The specific materials of the first electrode layer 31 and the second electrode layer 32 can be selected according to actual situations.

[0057] In the light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the convex structure 20 is provided to include a first convex 21 and at least one gentle structure located at the edge of the first convex 21. Through the gentle structure, the steepness of the convex boundary of the convex structure 20 can be reduced. Through at least one gentle structure located at the edge of the first convex 21, the light-emitting layer 30 and / or the second electrode layer 32 can be smoothly transitionally connected between adjacent convex structures 20, which can avoid a relatively steep slope of the organic layer, prevent the electrode from breaking and puncturing, and avoid problems such as leakage current, weakening of blue light, high power consumption, and low brightness caused by electrode puncturing, thereby improving the display effect.

[0058] In some embodiments, at least one gentle structure located at the edge of the first convex 21 includes a second convex 22, and the first convex 21 is disposed on the side of the second convex 22 away from the substrate 10. The orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10, and the edge of the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10 is spaced from the edge of the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10. Through the gentle structure, the steepness of the convex boundary of the convex structure can be reduced, so that the light-emitting layer 30 and / or the second electrode layer 32 can be smoothly transitionally connected between adjacent convex structures 20. The edge of the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10 is spaced from the edge of the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10, the edge surface of the convex structure 20 is gentle, and the edge surface region of the second convex 22 located outside the first convex 21 covers the first electrode layer 31. An organic layer can be covered on the first electrode layer 31 in this region. The gentle edge surface enables the organic layer not to have a steep slope during the evaporation process, and the evaporated organic layer does not have a steep slope.

[0059] As shown Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 8 to 10 in the figure, the convex structure 20 may include a first convex 21 and a second convex 22. The first convex 21 may be disposed on a side of the second convex 22 away from the substrate 10. The surface of the first convex 21 may be a curved surface, and the curved surface is beneficial to increasing the surface area and can prevent sharp or angular structures from damaging the surrounding structures. The second convex 22 may be columnar or frustum-shaped. The second convex 22 may be generally frustum-shaped, and the surface of the first convex 21 may be a curved surface. The second convex 22 may be frustum-shaped, and the first convex 21 may be hemispherical or spherical-crowned. By providing the convex structure 20, the surface area can be increased, and the electrode area located on the surface of the convex structure 20 can be enlarged, thereby having a greater carrier injection ability. The shape, size, and material of each convex structure 20 may be the same or different. For example, the shape, size, and material of each convex structure 20 may be the same, which can simplify the manufacturing process. In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10 may be circular or elliptical, so that the overall structure of the second convex 22 and the first convex 21 is symmetrical. For example, the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10 may be circular, and the diameter of the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10 is smaller than the diameter of the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10, so that there is a gap between the edge of the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10, which is beneficial to the smoothness of the edge surface of the convex structure 20. The smooth edge surface makes the organic layer not climb steeply during the evaporation process.

[0060] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10 may be circular and concentric. For example, the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10 may be circular, the diameter of the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10 is smaller than the diameter of the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10, and the center of the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10 coincides with the center of the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10, so that there is a uniform gap between the edge of the orthographic projection of the first convex 21 on the substrate 10 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the second convex 22 on the substrate 10, which is beneficial to the smooth and symmetrical edge surface of the convex structure 20.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first protrusion 21 may be spherical-crowned. The spherical-crowned first protrusion 21 may be conducive to increasing the surface area, making the shape of the first electrode layer 31 on the surface of the first protrusion 21 symmetrical without sharp corners, with uniform stress and not easily damaging the surrounding structures. When the first electrode layer 31 is a reflective electrode, the reflection ability can be improved.

[0062] In some embodiments, the side surface of the second protrusion 22 may be a convex curved surface. Setting the side surface of the second protrusion 22 as a convex curved surface can increase the surface area. When the first electrode layer 31 is a reflective electrode, the reflection ability can be improved through the convex curved surface on the second protrusion 22. Setting the side surface of the second protrusion 22 as a convex curved surface has no sharp corners, with uniform stress and not easily damaging the surrounding structures.

[0063] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the adjacent protrusion structures 20 may be symmetrical about the flat surface 33. The flat surface 33 may be a plane and may be parallel to the substrate 10, so that the curved surfaces of the second electrode layer 32 located between the adjacent protrusion structures 20 can be smoothly transitionally connected to prevent the electrodes from breaking and puncturing.

[0064] In some embodiments, the top of the second protrusion 22 may have a first surface 23 which is parallel to the substrate 10. The bottom of the first protrusion 21 may be disposed on the first surface 23. The bottom of the first protrusion 21 may be a plane and may coincide with the first surface 23. The first surface 23 at the top of the second protrusion 22 and the surface at the bottom of the first protrusion 21 may both be circular or elliptical. For example, the first surface 23 at the top of the second protrusion 22 and the surface at the bottom of the first protrusion 21 may both be circular, and the diameters of the first surface 23 at the top of the second protrusion 22 and the surface at the bottom of the first protrusion 21 are equal, and the centers of the circles of the first surface 23 at the top of the second protrusion 22 and the surface at the bottom of the first protrusion 21 coincide.

[0065] In some embodiments, multiple protrusion structures 20 may be evenly distributed, and the shapes and sizes of each protrusion structure 20 are the same. For example, multiple protrusion structures 20 may be evenly distributed in an array, and the shapes, sizes, and materials of each protrusion structure 20 may all be the same, which is convenient for processing and preparation and simplifies the process.

[0066] In some other embodiments, the first electrode layer 31 may be a reflective electrode layer, such that the first electrode layer 31 may have a good reflection effect, enhancing the reflection effect of the first electrode layer 31 on light and improving the brightness of the device. The first electrode layer 31 may be a single-layer or stacked structure and may be made of a metal and its mixture materials such as Ag, Mg, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Ir, or Cr, or may be made of a conductive metal oxide material such as ITO, IZO, or IGZO. The surface of the first protrusion 21 may be a convex curved surface, and the side surface of the second protrusion 22 may be a convex curved surface, such that the first electrode layer 31 in this region may be a convex curved surface, which can improve the light reflection ability.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 shown, the first electrode layer 31 may include a reflective layer 311 and a light-transmissive conductive layer 312 which are stacked. The reflective layer 311 may be conductive, and the reflective layer 311 may be a stacked structure. For example, the reflective layer 311 may include a Ti / Al / Ti structure which is stacked. The first electrode layer 31 may be used as an anode, the conductive layer 312 may be indium tin oxide (ITO), and the reflective layer 311 is disposed close to the surface of the protrusion structure 20. By means of the reflective layer 311, the reflection effect of the first electrode layer 31 on light can be enhanced, and the brightness of the device can be improved. The surface of the first protrusion 21 may be a curved surface, and the side surface of the second protrusion 22 may be a convex curved surface. The curved surface is beneficial to increasing the surface area and can improve the light reflection effect.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the light-emitting device may further include a packaging layer 40, and the packaging layer 40 may cover the second electrode layer 32. The packaging layer 40 may include a first packaging layer 41, a second packaging layer 42, and a third packaging layer 43 which are stacked. The first packaging layer 41 and the second packaging layer 42 may be inorganic layers, and the third packaging layer 43 may be an organic layer; or the first packaging layer 41 and the third packaging layer 43 may be inorganic layers, and the second packaging layer 42 may be an organic layer, and packaging is achieved through the stacked packaging layer.

[0069] The encapsulation layer 40 may include a first encapsulation layer 41, a second encapsulation layer 42, and a third encapsulation layer 43 which are stacked. For example, the first encapsulation layer 41 and the third encapsulation layer 43 may be made of inorganic materials, and the above-mentioned inorganic materials may be selected from at least one of silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, zirconium nitride, titanium nitride, hafnium nitride, tantalum nitride, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, tin oxide, cerium oxide, silicon oxynitride (SiON), and lithium fluoride. For another example, the second encapsulation layer 42 may be made of organic materials, and the above-mentioned organic materials may be at least one of acrylic acid resin, methacrylic acid resin, polyisoprene, vinyl resin, epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, cellulose resin, and perylene resin. Those skilled in the art can change the number of layers, materials, and structures of the encapsulation layer according to needs, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0070] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, a flat layer 51 may be provided on the side of the encapsulation layer 40 away from the substrate 10. The flat layer 51 may be an inorganic layer, and the specific material may be selected according to the actual situation.

[0071] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the light-emitting device may further include: a color film layer 50. The color film layer 50 covers the encapsulation layer 40. The color film layer 50 may be provided on the side of the flat layer 51 away from the substrate 10. Unwanted light can be removed through the color film layer 50. The light-emitting layer 30 may include a first light-emitting layer, a second light-emitting layer, and a third light-emitting layer. For example, the first light-emitting layer may emit red light, the second light-emitting layer may emit green light, and the third light-emitting layer may emit blue light. The area of the color film layer 50 corresponding to the first light-emitting layer may transmit red light, the area of the color film layer 50 corresponding to the second light-emitting layer may transmit green light, and the area of the color film layer 50 corresponding to the third light-emitting layer may transmit blue light. Unwanted light can be removed through the color film layer.
