[0070] The present application is described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. Also, if a detailed description of known technology is deemed unnecessary for the features of the present application shown, it is omitted. The embodiments described below by reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are for the purpose of explanation only, and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

It is further to be understood that terms such as those defined in a general dictionary are to be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the prior art and are not to be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless specifically defined as such herein.

It will be further understood that the terms "includes" and / or "comprising," when used in the specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0073] The inventors of the present application have found that, for a special-shaped organic light-emitting display panel, due to the shape of the light-emitting area being different from the traditional rectangular light-emitting area, a barrier structure needs to be provided to block and isolate the organic light-emitting layer, the cathode, and the like, so as to ensure the sealing property of the organic light-emitting display panel. At present, the cross-sectional shape of the barrier structure is mostly an H-shaped structure. In the preparation process of the organic light-emitting display panel, an etching process is needed to form the H-shaped barrier structure by using the difference in etching rate of different metal materials to the etching liquid. However, in the preparation process of the barrier structure, two blocking parts are easily generated as by-products of the barrier structure, which makes it difficult for the etching liquid to directly contact the metal material of the barrier structure, resulting in a low formation rate of the H-shaped barrier structure, and further resulting in a low yield of the organic light-emitting display panel.

[0074] Moreover, the side of the existing H-shaped barrier structure away from the substrate is usually a single-layer metal structure, and in the subsequent preparation process of the organic light-emitting display panel, the single-layer metal structure is prone to problems such as fracture and collapse, which causes the H-shaped barrier structure to lose the blocking effect, further reducing the formation rate of the H-shaped barrier structure.

[0075] The display panel and the preparation method thereof and the display device provided by the present application are aimed at solving the above technical problems of the prior art.

[0076] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail below with specific examples.

[0077] The embodiment of the present application provides a preparation method of a display panel, a flowchart of the preparation method is as shown in the figure Figure 1 The preparation method comprises steps S101-S105.

[0078] S101, a first metal layer 107 and a first passivation layer 109 are prepared in sequence on one side of a substrate 10 located in a blocking area 202.

[0079] S102, a photoresist structure 1141 is prepared on the side of the first passivation layer 109 away from the substrate 10.

[0080] S103, the first passivation layer 109 and the first metal layer 107 are patterned based on the photoresist structure 1141, a first passivation structure and a first metal structure are obtained, and an end portion of the first metal structure is formed with a blocking portion.

[0081] S104, the blocking portion 60 and the photoresist structure 1141 are peeled off.

[0082] S105, the first metal structure is etched to obtain a first structure 21 of the blocking structure 20, so that the first structure 21, the second metal sub-structure 212 in the substrate 10, is located in the first metal sub-structure 211 and the third metal sub-structure 213 in the substrate 10; the first metal sub-structure 211, the second metal sub-structure 212 and the third metal sub-structure 213 are stacked.

[0083] In the preparation method of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application, after the first passivation layer 109 and the first metal layer 107 are patterned based on the photoresist structure 1141 to obtain the first passivation structure 30 and the first metal structure 1071, the blocking portion 60 formed at the end portion of the first metal structure 1071 is peeled off in time, which can avoid the influence of the blocking portion 60 on the subsequent etching process of the first metal structure 1071, so as to ensure that the first structure 21, the second metal sub-structure 212 in the substrate 10, is located in the first metal sub-structure 211 and the third metal sub-structure 213 in the substrate 10, thereby ensuring the formation rate of the first structure 21, and further ensuring the formation rate of the blocking structure 20, and ensuring the yield of the organic light-emitting display panel.

[0084] Moreover, since the first passivation layer 109 is prepared on the side of the first metal layer 107 away from the substrate 10, the third metal sub-structure 213 of the first structure 21 formed is formed with the first passivation structure 30 on the side away from the substrate 10, and the first passivation structure 30 can enhance the rigidity of the third metal sub-structure 213, thereby reducing the probability of problems such as fracture and collapse of the third metal sub-structure 213, thereby ensuring the reliability of the blocking structure 20 and the formation rate of the blocking structure 20.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present application, the step S105 specifically comprises: etching the first metal sub-layer, the second metal sub-layer and the third metal sub-layer of the first metal structure to form the first metal sub-structure 211, the second metal sub-structure 212 and the third metal sub-structure 213 of the first structure 21, until the boundary of the orthographic projection of the second metal sub-structure 212 on the substrate 10 has the first set distance d1 from the boundary of the orthographic projection of the first metal sub-structure 211 and the third metal sub-structure 213 on the substrate 10.

[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, by limiting the boundary of the orthographic projection of the second metal sub-structure 212 on the substrate 10 to have the first set distance d1 from the boundary of the orthographic projection of the first metal sub-structure 211 and the third metal sub-structure 213 on the substrate 10, the prepared barrier structure meets the requirements to guarantee the performance of the barrier structure, so as to further guarantee the formation rate of the barrier structure and the yield of the organic light-emitting display panel.

[0087] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the first set distance d1 refers to the distance between the boundary of the orthographic projection of the second metal sub-structure 212 on the substrate 10 and the boundary of the orthographic projection of the first metal sub-structure 211 and the third metal sub-structure 213 on the substrate 10 in the direction of the display area 201 to the barrier area 202.

[0088] The embodiments of the present application provide another preparation method of a display panel, and a flowchart of the preparation method is shown in Figure 2 , which comprises steps S201-S205:

[0089] S201, sequentially preparing the first metal layer 107 and the first passivation layer 109 on one side of the substrate 10 in the barrier area 202.

[0090] In some possible implementation manners, the first metal layer 107 and the first passivation layer 109 are sequentially prepared on one side of the substrate 10 in the barrier area 202. Optionally, the first metal layer 107 comprises at least three metal sub-layers which are stacked and made of different metal materials, and the barrier structure 20 in the shape of an I-beam is formed by using the difference in etching rate of the etching liquid for different metal materials in the subsequent preparation process. Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the first metal layer 107 comprises three metal sub-layers which are stacked, and the etching rate of the metal sub-layer sandwiched between the upper and lower metal sub-layers is greater than the etching rate of the upper and lower metal sub-layers. Optionally, the upper and lower metal sub-layers are made of Ti (titanium), and the metal sub-layer sandwiched between the upper and lower metal sub-layers is made of Al (aluminum).

[0091] In some possible implementation manners, the first metal layer 107 and the first passivation layer 109 can be prepared simultaneously with the related film layers of the pixel structure in the display area 201. In this way, the preparation process of the barrier structure 20 can be simplified, the preparation difficulty of the barrier structure 20 can be reduced, and the preparation cost of the barrier structure 20 can be reduced, thereby reducing the preparation cost of the display panel. Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the first metal layer 107 in the barrier area 202 and the first metal layer 107 in the display area 201 are prepared simultaneously, and the first passivation layer 109 in the barrier area 202 and the first passivation layer 109 in the display area 201 are prepared simultaneously.

Then, the first metal layer 107 and the first passivation layer 109 are prepared in sequence on the side of the interlayer insulating layer 106 away from the substrate 10.

[0093] S202, the second metal layer 110 and the second passivation layer 111 are prepared in sequence on the side of the first passivation layer 109 away from the substrate 10.

[0094] In some possible implementation manners, the second metal layer 110 and the second passivation layer 111 are prepared in sequence on the side of the first passivation layer 109 away from the substrate 10. Alternatively, the second metal layer 110 includes at least three metal sub-layers stacked in layers, and the metal sub-layers are made of different metal materials, and in the subsequent preparation process, the barrier structure 20 in the shape of an I-beam is formed by using the difference in etching rate of the etching liquid for different metal materials. Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the second metal layer 110 includes three metal sub-layers stacked in layers, and the etching rate of the metal sub-layer sandwiched between the upper and lower metal sub-layers is greater than the etching rate of the upper and lower metal sub-layers. Alternatively, the upper and lower metal sub-layers are made of Ti (titanium), and the metal sub-layer sandwiched between the upper and lower metal sub-layers is made of Al (aluminum).

[0095] In some possible implementation manners, the second metal layer 110 and the second passivation layer 111 can be prepared simultaneously with the related film layers of the pixel structure in the display area 201. In this way, the preparation process of the barrier structure 20 can be further simplified, and the preparation difficulty and cost of the barrier structure 20 can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the preparation cost of the display panel. Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the second metal layer 110 in the barrier area 202 and the second metal layer 110 in the display area 201 are prepared simultaneously, and the second passivation layer 111 in the barrier area 202 and the second passivation layer 111 in the display area 201 are prepared simultaneously.

[0096] S203, a photoresist structure 1141 is prepared on the side of the second passivation layer 111 away from the substrate 10.

[0097] In some possible implementation manners, the photoresist structure 1141 is prepared on the side of the second passivation layer 111 in the barrier area 202 away from the substrate 10, as shown in FIG. 1C. Figure 3 Alternatively, the photoresist layer 114 used to prepare the photoresist structure 1141 can be prepared simultaneously with the photoresist layer 114 of the pixel structure in the display area 201. In the embodiment of the present application, two photoresist structures 1141 are prepared on the side of the second passivation layer 111 away from the substrate 10.

[0098] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 1C, the area used to prepare the pixel structure is the display area 201, and the area used to prepare the barrier structure 20 is the barrier area 202. Figure 3

[0099] S204, the second passivation layer 111, the second metal layer 110, the first passivation layer 109 and the first metal layer 107 are patterned based on the photoresist structure 1141, to obtain the second passivation structure 40, the second metal structure 1101, the first passivation structure 30 and the first metal structure 1071, and the end of the second metal structure 1101 and the end of the first metal structure 1071 are formed with the blocking part 60.

[0100] In some possible implementation manners, the second passivation layer 111, the second metal layer 110, the first passivation layer 109 and the first metal layer 107 are patterned based on the two photoresist structures 1141, to obtain two second passivation structures 40, two second metal structures 1101, two first passivation structures 30 and two first metal structures 1071, and the end of the two second metal structures 1101 and the end of the two first metal structures 1071 are formed with the blocking part 60, as shown in FIG. 1D. Figure 4

[0101] ​​Optionally, based on the two photoresist structures 1141, the second passivation layer 111 is dry etched using a combined atmosphere of CF4(carbon tetrafluoride) and O2(oxygen), so that the second passivation layer 111 is patterned to form the second passivation structure 40; the second metal layer 110 is continuously dry etched using a combined atmosphere of BCl3(boron trichloride) and Cl2(chlorine), so that the second metal layer 110 is patterned to form the second metal structure 1101, and during the dry etching process, the blocking portion 60 is formed at the two ends of the second metal structure 1101. The first passivation layer 109 is dry etched using a combined atmosphere of CF4(carbon tetrafluoride) and O2(oxygen), so that the first passivation layer 109 is patterned to form the first passivation structure 30; the first metal layer 107 is continuously dry etched using a combined atmosphere of BCl3(boron trichloride) and Cl2(chlorine), so that the first metal layer 107 is patterned to form the first metal structure 1071, and during the dry etching process, the blocking portion 60 is formed at the two ends of the first metal structure 1071.

[0102] It should be noted that, in the preparation process of the display panel, the first metal layer 107 located in the blocking area 202 and the first metal layer 107 located in the display area 201 are prepared at the same time, and the first metal layer 107 located in the display area 201 is processed by the patterning process. Therefore, the first metal layer 107 located in the display area 201 can be patterned at the same time as the first metal layer 107 located in the blocking area 202, so that the process step of patterning the first metal layer 107 based on the photoresist structure 1141 in step S204 can be omitted. The preparation process of the blocking structure 20 can be further simplified, the preparation difficulty of the blocking structure 20 can be further reduced, and the preparation cost of the blocking structure 20 can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the preparation cost of the display panel.

[0103] Optionally, the thickness of the photoresist structure 1141 is not less than 1.5 microns and not greater than 1.8 microns.

[0107] Optionally, the fourth metal sub-structure 221, the fifth metal sub-structure 222 and the sixth metal sub-structure 223 are stacked.

[0108] In some possible embodiments, the etching liquid is used for etching treatment Figure 5 As shown in the structure, due to the difference in etching rate of the metal materials in the second metal structure 1101 to the etching liquid, the fifth metal sub-structure 222 in the second structure 22 is located within the fourth metal sub-structure 221 and the sixth metal sub-structure 223 in the orthographic projection of the substrate 10, that is, the end of the fifth metal sub-structure 222 is recessed relative to the fourth metal sub-structure 221 and the sixth metal sub-structure 223.

[0109] Similarly, the second metal sub-structure 212 in the first structure 21 is located within the first metal sub-structure 211 and the third metal sub-structure 213 in the orthographic projection of the substrate 10, that is, the end of the second metal sub-structure 212 is recessed relative to the first metal sub-structure 211 and the third metal sub-structure 213, as shown in the structure.

[0111] Optionally, Figure 6 As shown in the structure, the barrier region 202 of the display panel is provided with two barrier structures 20, and each barrier structure 20 includes two I-shaped structures stacked in up and down directions, so that the barrier structure 20 is a double I-shaped structure, thereby improving the barrier performance of the barrier structure 20 and improving the reliability of the display panel.

[0112] Optionally, as shown in the structure, Figure 7 ​As shown, the display panel includes a display area 201 and a barrier area 202 surrounding the display area 201, and two barrier structures 20 are arranged in the barrier area 202. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the second metal sub-structure 212 is overlapped with the fifth metal sub-structure 222 in the orthographic projection of the substrate 10, and therefore, Figure 7 In the embodiment of the present application, only two dotted lines are used to represent the second metal sub-structure 212 and the fifth metal sub-structure 222.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, since the first passivation layer 109 is prepared on the side of the first metal layer 107 away from the substrate 10, the third metal sub-structure 213 of the first structure 21 is formed with the first passivation structure 30 on the side away from the substrate 10, which can enhance the rigidity of the third metal sub-structure 213, thereby reducing the probability of problems such as fracture and collapse of the third metal sub-structure 213; similarly, the sixth metal sub-structure 223 of the second structure 22 is formed with the second passivation structure 40 on the side away from the substrate 10, which can enhance the rigidity of the sixth metal sub-structure 223, thereby reducing the probability of problems such as fracture and collapse of the sixth metal sub-structure 223, so as to guarantee the reliability of the barrier structure 20 and the formation rate of the barrier structure 20.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, the second structure 22 of the barrier structure 20 obtained by etching the second metal structure 1101 is such that the orthographic projection of the fifth metal sub-structure 222 in the second structure 22 is located within the orthographic projection of the fourth metal sub-structure 221 and the sixth metal sub-structure 223 on the substrate 10; the fourth metal sub-structure 221, the fifth metal sub-structure 222 and the sixth metal sub-structure 223 are stacked, and include:

[0115] The fourth metal sub-layer, the fifth metal sub-layer and the sixth metal sub-layer of the second metal structure 1101 are etched to form the fourth metal sub-structure 221, the fifth metal sub-structure 222 and the sixth metal sub-structure 223 of the second structure 22, until the boundary of the orthographic projection of the fifth metal sub-structure 222 has a second set distance d2 from the boundary of the orthographic projection of the fourth metal sub-structure 221 and the sixth metal sub-structure 223 on the substrate 10.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, by limiting the boundary of the orthographic projection of the fifth metal sub-structure 222 to have the second set distance d2 from the boundary of the orthographic projection of the fourth metal sub-structure 221 and the sixth metal sub-structure 223 on the substrate 10, the prepared barrier structure 20 meets the requirements, so as to guarantee the performance of the barrier structure 20, thereby further guaranteeing the formation rate of the barrier structure 20 and the yield of the organic light-emitting display panel.

[0117] In the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 11 The second set distance d2 refers to the distance between the boundary of the orthographic projection of the fifth metal sub-structure 222 and the boundary of the orthographic projection of the fourth metal sub-structure 221 and the sixth metal sub-structure 223 in the direction of the display area 201 pointing to the barrier area 202.

[0118] It should be noted that in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, due to the difference in the height of the first metal structure 1071 and the second metal structure 1101, in the process of wet etching, the flow rate of the etching liquid contacting the second metal structure 1101 above the first metal structure 1071 is faster in the process of the etching liquid flowing from top to bottom, and thus the etching degree of the second metal structure 1101 is greater than that of the first metal structure 1071. Thus, the second set distance d2 in the second structure 22 formed is greater than the first set distance d1 in the first structure 21, as shown in Figure 8 .
