[0037] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 11 , the stretchable display substrate and the display device in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments can complement or be combined with each other.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and, if necessary, combine Figures 2 to 11 As shown, a display device 100 includes a stretchable display substrate 20 ′.

[0039] The display device 100 may further include a housing 10 ′, and the stretchable display substrate 20 ′ may be embedded in the housing 10 ′.

[0040] Please combine Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, the stretchable display substrate 20' includes a base substrate 10, a display unit 1003, and a plurality of connecting wires. A plurality of opening patterns 110 are distributed on the base substrate 10, and a plurality of bridges 130 are formed between at least some adjacent opening patterns 110 in the plurality of opening patterns 110 to enclose an island 120. One or more display units 1003 are provided on each of the islands 120. A plurality of connecting wires are respectively connected between the plurality of display units 1003 on the islands 120 and are respectively provided on the plurality of bridges 130. A flexible barrier structure 1001 located on the base substrate 10 is provided at the edge of at least some of the opening patterns 110, and the flexible barrier structure 1001 includes at least one flexible film layer.

[0041] The connection wiring mentioned here can be understood as source and drain wiring, gate wiring, etc. that can be connected to the display unit 1003.

[0042] The opening pattern 110 mentioned here is a pattern-shaped opening structure composed of horizontally extending openings and vertically extending openings opened at preset positions.

[0043] The display unit 1003 mentioned here can be understood as a pixel unit or a sub-pixel unit and its corresponding driving circuit structure (or corresponding thin film transistor).

[0044] Please combine Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible barrier structure 1001 includes a first flexible membrane layer 102 located on the base substrate 10 .

[0045] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the display unit 1003 includes a driving circuit layer 301, a light-emitting layer 201, a spacer layer 401, and an encapsulation layer 501, which are sequentially disposed between the base substrate 10 and the encapsulation layer. The encapsulation layer 501 includes an organic encapsulation layer 80, and the first flexible film layer 102 and the organic encapsulation layer 80 are made of the same layer and material, i.e., both are formed in the same manufacturing process.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first flexible film layer 102 and the organic encapsulation layer 80 are made of an optical adhesive material (i.e., a photosensitive material that can be patterned using a photolithography process). Accordingly, the first flexible film layer 102 and the organic encapsulation layer 80 can be formed using a photolithography process, which helps save manufacturing processes.

[0047] Compared with the related art method of forming an organic encapsulation layer using technologies such as inkjet printing, the use of optical adhesive materials enables the organic encapsulation layer and the first flexible film layer 102 to achieve a more refined pattern and higher etching accuracy, which is particularly beneficial for the precise etching of the first flexible film layer 102 at the outer edge of the opening pattern.

[0048] In some embodiments, please continue to combine Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, the encapsulation layer also includes two opposite surfaces of the organic encapsulation layer 80 (ie Figure 11 The flexible barrier structure 1001 further includes a first inorganic encapsulation layer 70 and a second inorganic encapsulation layer 80 located on the two opposite surfaces of the first flexible film layer 102 (i.e. Figure 2 The first inorganic layer 104 and the second inorganic layer 105 (on the upper and lower surfaces) can be the same layer and made of the same material as the first inorganic encapsulation layer 70, and the second inorganic layer 105 can be the same layer and made of the same material as the second inorganic encapsulation layer 80. In other words, the first inorganic layer 104 can be the same layer and made of the same material as the first inorganic encapsulation layer 70, and the second inorganic layer 105 can be the same layer and made of the same material as the second inorganic encapsulation layer 80.

[0049] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first flexible film layer may be a different layer but made of the same material as the first organic encapsulation layer 80. The first inorganic layer 104 may be a different layer but made of the same material as the first inorganic encapsulation layer 70, and the second inorganic layer 105 may be a different layer but made of the same material as the second inorganic encapsulation layer 80.

[0050] The driver circuit layer 301 includes a pixel driver circuit for driving the light-emitting structure. The pixel circuit includes a thin-film transistor 3001. The thin-film transistor 3001 includes an active layer 311, a gate electrode 312 located on the side of the active layer 311 facing away from the substrate 10, a first electrode 313, and a second electrode 314. One of the first electrode 313 and the second electrode 314 is a source electrode, and the other is a drain electrode. The pixel driver circuit may also include a capacitor (not shown).

[0051] The driving circuit layer also includes a gate insulating layer 316, an interlayer insulating layer 315, a first planarization layer 30, a signal routing layer 317, a second planarization layer 40, a first passivation layer 50, and a second passivation layer 60. The gate insulating layer 316 covers the active layer 311. The interlayer insulating layer 315 is located on the side of the gate electrode 312 facing away from the substrate 10. The first electrode 313 and the second electrode 314 are electrically connected to the active layer 311 via vias penetrating the gate insulating layer 316 and the interlayer insulating layer 315. The first planarization layer 30 is located on the side of the first electrode 313 and the second electrode 314 facing away from the substrate 10, covering the exposed interlayer insulating layer 315. The signal routing layer 317 is located on the side of the first planarization layer 30 facing away from the substrate 10. The second planarization layer 40 covers the signal routing layer 317 and the exposed first planarization layer 30. The first passivation layer 50 and the second passivation layer 60 are sequentially located on the second planarization layer 40. Part of the first passivation layer 50 and the second passivation layer 60 may further have through holes penetrating the upper and lower surfaces to achieve functions such as exhaust.

[0052] In one embodiment, the light-emitting layer 201 includes a plurality of light-emitting structures 2001 arranged at intervals. Each light-emitting structure 2001 in the light-emitting layer 201 can emit the same color. For example, each light-emitting structure 2001 in the light-emitting layer 201 can emit blue light. Light of the same color emitted by the light-emitting layer 201 is converted into light of multiple colors when passing through the color conversion layer, thereby achieving color display on the display panel.

[0053] In one embodiment, the light-emitting structure 2001 is located on the side of the second planarization layer 40 facing away from the base substrate 10. The light-emitting structure 2001 includes a first electrode 21, an organic light-emitting material layer 22 located on the side of the first electrode 21 facing away from the base substrate 10, and a second electrode 23 located on the side of the organic light-emitting material layer 22 facing away from the base substrate 10. The first electrode 21 and the second electrode 23 are respectively in direct contact with the organic light-emitting material layer 22. The first electrode 21 can be an anode, and the second electrode 23 can be a cathode. The second electrode 23 of each light-emitting structure 2001 can be a continuous, entire electrode. The first electrode 21 is electrically connected to the first electrode 313 of the thin-film transistor 3001 via a through hole penetrating the second planarization layer 40, the first passivation layer 50, and the second passivation layer 60.

[0054] Here, the spacer layer 401 may be correspondingly disposed on the pixel defining layer 24 .

[0055] In addition, a buffer layer 20 may be further disposed between the base substrate 10 and the driving circuit layer 301 to better isolate the driving circuit layer 301 from the base substrate 10 .

[0056] Please continue to combine Figure 3 and Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible barrier structure 1001 includes a second flexible membrane layer 101 located between the first flexible membrane layer 102 and the base substrate 10 .

[0057] In some embodiments, the driving circuit layer 301 and the light-emitting layer 201 both include organic layers, and the second flexible film layer 101 is made of the same layer and material as the organic layer of the driving circuit layer 301 , the organic layer in the light-emitting layer 201 , and at least one of the spacer layer 401 .

[0058] It is understood that the second flexible film layer 101 can be formed as a single organic layer or as a stack of multiple organic layers. Accordingly, the second flexible film layer 101 is formed of the same layer and material as the organic layer of the drive circuit layer 301, the organic layer of the light-emitting layer 201, and at least one layer of the spacer layer 401. It is understood that the second flexible film layer 101 can be formed of the same layer and material as the organic layer of the drive circuit layer 301, the organic layer of the light-emitting layer 201, and one organic layer of the spacer layer 401. Alternatively, when forming the organic layer of the drive circuit layer 301, the organic layer of the light-emitting layer 201, and the multiple organic layers of the spacer layer 401, multiple organic layers can be formed correspondingly at the outer edge of the opening pattern, ultimately forming an organic film layer having multiple stacked organic layers.

[0059] For example, please continue to combine Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the organic layer of the driving circuit layer 301 includes a first planarization layer 30 and a second planarization layer 40, the light-emitting layer 201 includes a pixel defining layer 24, and the second flexible membrane layer 101 is the same layer and the same material as at least one of the first planarization layer 30, the second planarization layer 40, the pixel defining layer 24 and the spacer layer 401.

[0060] It is understandable that, in some other embodiments, the second organic film layer may also be formed by other organic film layers of the light-emitting unit.

[0061] Please continue to combine Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible blocking structure 1001 has a blocking sidewall a on a side close to the opening pattern 110, and the opening pattern 110 has an opening sidewall b, and the blocking sidewall a is flush with the opening sidewall b.

[0062] Of course, in order to further reduce the influence caused by the stretching of the base substrate, the barrier sidewall a of the flexible barrier structure 1001 close to the opening pattern 110 can be set to be retracted toward the side away from the opening pattern 110 .

[0063] For example, please combine Figure 4In some embodiments, the blocking side wall a is inwardly recessed towards the side away from the aperture pattern 110, forming a notch part 1002 at the edge of the aperture pattern 110.

[0064] The inventors have found through a large number of experiments that, in some embodiments, the recessed size d of the notch part 1002 is preferably 2-10 μm, and the blocking effect is better. That is, the size of the blocking side wall a that is inwardly recessed towards the side away from the aperture pattern 110 is preferably 2-10 μm, and the blocking effect is better.

[0065] Based on the above description, Figure 3 and Figure 4 the stretchable display substrate or the like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The stretchable display substrate shown in the embodiment has a manufacturing process as follows: first, a substrate 10 without an aperture is provided. Then, a buffer layer 20, an active layer 311, a gate insulating layer 316, a gate electrode 312, an interlayer insulating layer 315, a first electrode 313 and a second electrode 314, a first planarization layer 30, a signal trace layer 317, a second planarization layer 40, a first passivation layer 50, a second passivation layer 60, a first electrode 21, a pixel definition layer 24, a spacer layer 401, an organic light-emitting material layer 22, a second electrode 23, a first inorganic encapsulation layer 70, an organic encapsulation layer 80, a second organic encapsulation layer 90, etc. are sequentially formed on the substrate 10. Then, an aperture pattern 110 is formed at a predetermined position on the substrate 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second flexible film layer 101 can be formed when one or more of the first planarization layer 30, the second planarization layer 40, the pixel definition layer 24, and the spacer layer 401 are formed. The first flexible film layer 102 is formed in the process of forming the organic encapsulation layer 80. The first inorganic layer 104 and the second inorganic layer 105 can be formed respectively when the first inorganic encapsulation layer 70 and the second organic encapsulation layer 90 are formed.

[0067] In some other embodiments, the flexible blocking structure 1001 can not include the second flexible film layer 101. Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 11 shown in the embodiment, Figure 5 the stretchable display substrate shown in the embodiment is similar to the above Figure 3 the stretchable display substrate shown in the embodiment is similar to the above Figure 5 the stretchable display substrate shown in the embodiment is similar to the above

[0068] Please refer to Figure 6 shown in the embodiment and Figure 11 shown in the embodiment, in some other embodiments, the stretchable display substrate shown in the embodiment is similar to the above Figure 4 the stretchable display substrate shown in the embodiment is similar to the above Figure 3The difference between the embodiments shown is that Figure 6 The stretchable flexible substrate shown is compared to Figure 5 As for the stretchable flexible substrate shown, its blocking side wall a is retracted toward the side away from the opening pattern 110 to form a notch portion 1002 located at the edge of the opening pattern 110 .

[0069] Correspondingly, the inward shrinkage of the notch 1002 may also be 2 μm-10 μm, which also has a better blocking effect. That is, the inward shrinkage of the blocking sidewall a toward the side away from the opening pattern 110 is 2 μm-10 μm, which has a better blocking effect.

[0070] Based on the above description, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The stretchable display substrate shown or similar Figure 7 and Figure 8 The preparation process of the stretchable display substrate shown is compared with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The preparation process of the stretchable display substrate shown omits the preparation of the second flexible film layer.

[0071] In other embodiments, in addition to the first flexible film layer 102 and the second flexible film layer 101 , the stretchable flexible substrate may further include a third flexible film layer located in the base substrate 10 to further reduce the transmission of stress in the opening pattern 110 region.

[0072] For example, please combine Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the base substrate 10 has a groove located outside the opening pattern 110 and penetrating part of the thickness of the base substrate 10, the groove opening faces the side where the flexible blocking structure 1001 is located and is opposite to the flexible blocking structure 1001, and a third flexible membrane layer 103 is provided in the groove.

[0073] The third flexible film layer 103 may be made of an organic material.

[0074] The third flexible film layer 103 should actually be formed before the first flexible film layer, the second flexible film layer and each film layer of the display unit are formed.

[0075] Please combine Figure 8 As shown, in other embodiments, for a stretchable display substrate having a third flexible film layer 103, its flexible barrier structure 1001 can also be retracted. The same or similar structures can refer to the above related descriptions. Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, in some other embodiments, for the base substrate 10 without the second flexible film layer 101, a corresponding third flexible film layer 103 can also be provided in the base substrate 10. For other similarities or differences, please refer to the above description. Figure 10 As shown, in some further embodiments, compared to Figure 9 For the stretchable display substrate shown, the flexible barrier structure can also be retracted. The same or similar structures can refer to the above description.

[0076] Based on the above description, Figure 7 and Figure 8 The stretchable display substrate shown or similar Figure 7 and Figure 8 The preparation process of the stretchable display substrate shown is compared with Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the preparation process of the stretchable display substrate shown, before forming the buffer layer 20 on the base substrate 10, a groove penetrating part of the thickness of the base substrate 10 can be formed on the surface of the base substrate 10 by etching or mechanical punching at the periphery of the preset opening position of the opening pattern, and a flexible material (such as an organic material) is filled in the groove to form a third flexible film layer 103.

[0077] The display device 100 in this embodiment can be any product or component with a display function, such as electronic paper, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a laptop computer, a digital photo frame, or a navigator.
