[0036] Personalized always-on display technology is a hot research topic. How to enable the display panel to display specific patterns when the screen is off (such as setting a logo pattern on the screen) and meet the personalized customization needs of users are technical problems that urgently need to be solved.
[0037] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the current related technologies, the present application provides a display panel to solve the technical problem that the existing technology cannot achieve local patterning in the screen-off state.
[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] First, let's introduce and explain several terms used in this application:
[0040] Reflected hue: The color that the human eye can perceive when it receives reflected light, usually expressed using the Lab space;
[0041] Optical density (OD): the ratio of incident light intensity to emitted light intensity, calculated using the following formula:
[0042]
[0043] I in ---Incident light intensity;
[0044] I out ---Outgoing light intensity.
[0045] This application provides a display panel, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the display panel includes: a substrate 1, a light-emitting device layer 2, and a color filter layer 3; the substrate 1 includes a substrate and a driving circuit layer (not shown in the figure); the light-emitting device layer 2 is located on one side of the substrate 1 and includes multiple light-emitting units 21; the color filter layer 3 is located on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1; wherein: the display panel includes a preset pattern area and a display area, the color filter layer 3 includes a first color filter layer 31 and a second color filter layer 32, the orthographic projection of the first color filter layer 31 on the substrate 1 is located in the display area, and the orthographic projection of the second color filter layer 32 on the substrate 1 is located in the preset pattern area; the reflected hue of the first color filter layer 31 is different from the reflected hue of the second color filter layer 32.
[0046] It should be noted that the preset pattern area can be, for example, an area on the screen where a logo is set, or an area on the screen where specific text is set. This preset pattern needs to be visible to the user from a certain viewing angle when the screen is off, in order to meet the user's customization needs for the preset pattern. Additionally, Figure 1 The display area is set up in the same way as the normal display area, which is the same as the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.
[0047] The display panel provided in this application embodiment employs a different color filter layer structure in the preset pattern area compared to the display area, resulting in a difference in the reflected hue of the first color filter layer in the display area and the reflected hue of the second color filter layer in the preset pattern area. When the display panel is off, this difference in reflected hue makes the preset pattern more noticeable at certain viewing angles, providing users with a visually distinct experience. Furthermore, the preset pattern can be controlled at the pixel level, further satisfying users' customization needs for the preset pattern.
[0048] In some specific embodiments, the light-emitting unit 21 includes a red light-emitting unit, a green light-emitting unit, and a blue light-emitting unit. It is understood that the light-emitting unit 21 may also include light-emitting units of other colors, such as a yellow light-emitting unit.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the first color filter layer 31 includes a first black matrix 311 and a plurality of arrayed first color filter units 312. Each first color filter unit 312 corresponds to one of the light-emitting units 21, and the first black matrix 311 is located between adjacent first color filter units 312. The second color filter layer 32 includes a second black matrix 321 and a plurality of arrayed second color filter units 322. Each second color filter unit 322 corresponds to one of the light-emitting units 21, and the second black matrix 321 is located between adjacent second color filter units 322. The optical density (OD) of the first black matrix 311 is different from that of the second black matrix 321, so that the reflected hue of the first color filter layer 31 is different from that of the second color filter layer 32, thereby making the preset pattern in the display panel pattern area more clearly visible at a certain viewing angle when the screen is off. For example, when the OD value of the first black matrix 311 is greater than the OD value of the second black matrix 321, since the OD values of the first black matrix 311 and the second black matrix 321 are different, the OD value of the first black matrix 311 is usually 2.5, and the OD value of the second black matrix 321 is 0.2-2.5. Therefore, the blackness of the first color filter layer 31 is greater than the blackness of the second color filter layer 32, which makes the reflected hue of the first color filter layer 31 different from that of the second color filter layer 32. It is understandable that by using different materials to prepare the first black matrix 311 and the second black matrix 321, preset patterns of different hues can be formed. When the difference in OD values between the materials of the first black matrix 311 and the second black matrix 321 is large, and the difference in the reflected hue between the first color filter layer 31 and the second color filter layer 32 is large, the preset pattern is obvious; when the difference in OD values between the materials of the first black matrix 311 and the second black matrix 321 is small, and the difference in the reflected hue between the first color filter layer 31 and the second color filter layer 32 is small, the preset pattern is not obvious. In a specific embodiment, such as... Figure 2As shown, the first color filter layer 31 includes a first black matrix 311 and a plurality of arrayed first color filter units 312. The first color filter units 312 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the light-emitting units 21. The first black matrix 311 is located between adjacent first color filter units 312. The second color filter layer 32 includes a plurality of arrayed second color filter units 322, a second black matrix 321, and a third black matrix 323. The second color filter units 322 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the light-emitting units 21. The second black matrix 321 is located between adjacent second color filter units 322. The third black matrix 323 is located on the side of the second black matrix 321 away from the substrate 1 and overlaps with the second black matrix 321. The optical density of the third black matrix 323 is different from that of the first black matrix 311. The OD values of the first black matrix 311 and the second black matrix 321 are usually 2.5, while the OD value of the third black matrix 323 is 0.2-2.5, so that the reflected hue of the first color filter layer 31 is different from that of the second color filter layer 32.
[0050] In some specific embodiments, the orthographic projection of the third black matrix 323 on the substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the second black matrix 321 on the substrate 1, and the area of the orthographic projection of the third black matrix 323 on the substrate 1 is greater than the area of the orthographic projection of the second black matrix 321 on the substrate 1.
[0051] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first color filter layer 31 includes a first black matrix 311 and a plurality of first color filter units 312. The first color filter units 312 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the light-emitting units 21. The orthographic projection of the first black matrix 311 onto the substrate 1 is located between adjacent light-emitting units 21. The second color filter layer 32 includes a second black matrix 321 and a plurality of second color filter units 322. The second color filter units 322 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the light-emitting units 21. The orthographic projection of the second black matrix 321 onto the substrate 1 is located between adjacent light-emitting units 21. At least some of the second color filter units 322 overlap with the second black matrix 321, and the first color filter units 312 do not overlap with the first black matrix 311, so that the reflected hue of the first color filter layer 31 is different from the reflected hue of the second color filter layer 32. In one specific embodiment, as... Figure 4 As shown, the second color filter unit 322 covers the adjacent second black matrix 321 on both the left and right sides. The optical density of the first black matrix 311 is the same as that of the second black matrix 321.
[0052] In some specific embodiments, the plurality of second color filter units 322 include a plurality of red filter units, a plurality of green filter units, and a plurality of blue filter units. At least one of the red filter units, green filter units, and blue filter units 322 overlaps with the second black matrix 321. In one specific embodiment, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the plurality of second color filter units 322 include a plurality of blue filter units, which cover their adjacent second black matrix 322, such that the reflected hue of the first color filter layer 31 is different from the reflected hue of the second color filter layer 32. In another specific embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of second color filter units 322 include a plurality of green filter units, each green filter unit covering its adjacent second black matrix 322, such that the reflected hue of the first color filter layer 31 is different from the reflected hue of the second color filter layer 32. In another specific embodiment, the plurality of second color filter units 322 include a plurality of green filter units and a plurality of blue filter units, both green and blue filter units covering their adjacent second black matrix 322, such that the reflected hue of the first color filter layer 31 is different from the reflected hue of the second color filter layer 32. It can be understood that by selecting filter units of different colors to cover adjacent second black matrices 322, preset patterns with different color tendencies can be formed.
[0053] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display panel further includes a pixel defining layer 4 and an encapsulation layer 5. The pixel defining layer 4 is located on one side of the substrate 1, disposed on the same layer as the light-emitting device layer 2, and includes a dam and an opening. The dam is located between adjacent light-emitting units 21, and the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit 21 onto the substrate 1 covers the opening. The encapsulation layer 5 is located between the color filter layer 1 and the light-emitting device layer 2, and is used to encapsulate the light-emitting unit 21. In this embodiment, the arrangement of the pixel defining layer 4 and the encapsulation layer 5 is similar to that of the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0054] Based on the same inventive concept, this application provides a display device including the aforementioned display panel. Since the display device includes the aforementioned display panel, it possesses the same beneficial technical effects as the aforementioned display panel. Therefore, the beneficial effects of the display device will not be repeated here.
[0055] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of this application provide a method for manufacturing a display panel, the display panel including a preset pattern area and a display area, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the preparation method includes:
[0056] S101, Provide a substrate;
[0057] S102, A light-emitting device layer is formed on one side of the substrate;
[0058] S103. A color filter layer is formed on the side of the light-emitting device layer away from the substrate. The color filter layer includes a first color filter layer and a second color filter layer. The orthographic projection of the first color filter layer on the substrate is located in the display area, and the orthographic projection of the second color filter layer on the substrate is located in the preset pattern area. The reflected hue of the first color filter layer is different from that of the second color filter layer.
[0059] After forming the light-emitting device layer 2 on one side of the substrate 1 and before forming the color filter layer 3 on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1, this application embodiment further includes: forming an encapsulation layer 5 on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1.
[0060] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a color filter layer 3 is formed on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1, including: fabricating a first black matrix 311 on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1 through a first patterning process, wherein the orthographic projection of the first black matrix 311 on the substrate 1 is located between adjacent light-emitting units 21; fabricating a second black matrix 321 on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1 through a second patterning process, wherein the orthographic projection of the second black matrix 321 on the substrate 1 is located between adjacent light-emitting units 21; and fabricating a first color filter unit 312 and a second color filter unit 322 on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1 through a third patterning process. Wherein, the first black matrix 311 and the first color filter unit 312 form the first color filter layer 31, and the second black matrix 321 and the second color filter unit 322 form the second color filter layer 32.
[0061] Specifically, in this manufacturing method, the first black matrix 311 and the second black matrix 321 are formed by two different patterning processes. The materials of the first black matrix 311 and the second black matrix 321 are different, and the optical density of the first black matrix 311 is different from that of the second black matrix 321.
[0062] In another specific embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, a color filter layer 3 is formed on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1, including: fabricating a first black matrix 311 and a second black matrix 321 on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1 through a first patterning process, wherein the orthographic projection of the first black matrix 311 on the substrate 1 is located between adjacent light-emitting units 21, and the orthographic projection of the second black matrix 321 on the substrate 1 is located between adjacent light-emitting units 21; fabricating a first color filter unit 312 and a second color filter unit 322 on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1 through a second patterning process; and fabricating a third black matrix 323 on the side of the second black matrix 321 away from the substrate 1 through a third patterning process, wherein the orthographic projections of the second black matrix 321 and the third black matrix 323 on the substrate 1 overlap. Wherein, the first black matrix 311 and the first color filter unit 312 form the first color filter layer 313, and the second black matrix 321, the second color filter unit 322, and the third black matrix 323 form the second color filter layer 32.
[0063] Specifically, in this manufacturing method, the first black matrix 311 and the second black matrix 321 are formed using the same patterning process, and the first black matrix 311 and the second black matrix 321 are made of the same material. In this manufacturing method, an additional patterning process is added to form a third black matrix 323 that is stacked with the second black matrix 321. The material of the third black matrix 323 is different from that of the second black matrix 321.
[0064] In some specific embodiments, a color filter layer 3 is formed on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1, including: fabricating a first black matrix 311 and a second black matrix 321 on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1 through a first patterning process. The orthographic projection of the first black matrix 311 onto the substrate 1 is located between adjacent light-emitting units 21, and the orthographic projection of the second black matrix 321 onto the substrate 1 is located between adjacent light-emitting units 21. In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first color filter unit 312 and a first sub-color filter unit are fabricated on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1 through a second patterning process. Figure 4As shown, a second sub-color filter unit is fabricated on the side of the first sub-color filter unit away from the substrate 1 through a third patterning process. The second sub-color filter unit covers a portion of the first sub-color filter unit and a portion of the second black matrix 321. The second sub-color filter unit and the first sub-color filter unit form the second color filter unit 322. For example, the second sub-color filter unit covers the blue filter unit and the second black matrix 321 adjacent to the blue filter unit, so that the reflected hue of the first color filter layer 31 is different from the reflected hue of the second color filter layer 32. Wherein, the first black matrix 311 and the first color filter unit 312 form the first color filter layer 31, and the second black matrix 321 and the second color filter unit 322 form the second color filter layer 32.
[0065] Specifically, in this manufacturing method, the second color filter unit 322 can be formed using two different manufacturing processes. The first color filter unit 312 and the first sub-color filter unit are formed through a single patterning process, and then the second sub-color filter unit is formed through another single patterning process. The second sub-color filter unit and the first sub-color filter unit together form the second color filter unit 322.
[0066] In yet another specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a color filter layer 3 is formed on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1. This includes: fabricating a first black matrix 311 and a second black matrix 321 on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1 using a first patterning process. The orthographic projection of the first black matrix 311 onto the substrate 1 is located between adjacent light-emitting units 21, and the orthographic projection of the second black matrix 321 onto the substrate 1 is also located between adjacent light-emitting units 21. A first color filter unit 312 and a second color filter unit 322 are fabricated on the side of the light-emitting device layer 2 away from the substrate 1 using a second patterning process. At least a portion of the second color filter unit 322 overlaps with the second black matrix 321, while the first color filter unit 312 does not overlap with the first black matrix 311, so that the reflected hue of the first color filter layer 31 is different from the reflected hue of the second color filter layer 32.
[0067] Specifically, in this manufacturing method, the second color filter unit 322 can be formed by a single patterning process. Unlike the first color filter unit 312, the second color filter unit 322 needs to overlap with the second black matrix 321 at least in part.
[0068] By applying the embodiments of this application, at least the following beneficial effects can be achieved:
[0069] The display panel provided in this application embodiment employs a different color filter layer structure in the preset pattern area compared to the display area, resulting in a difference in the reflected hue of the first color filter layer in the display area and the reflected hue of the second color filter layer in the preset pattern area. When the display panel is off, this difference in reflected hue makes the preset pattern more noticeable at certain viewing angles, providing users with a visually distinct experience. Furthermore, the preset pattern can be controlled at the pixel level, further satisfying users' customization needs for the preset pattern.
