These terms are only used to distinguish regions from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of this application, a first region may also be referred to as a second region, and similarly, a second region may also be referred to as a first region.

[0045] Through meticulous and in-depth research, the applicant in this case has provided a solution to the problems existing in the prior art.

[0046] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a display panel provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partial schematic diagram of the CC region; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of a mid-pixel unit. It should be noted that... Figure 3 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of pixel unit 120 (1210), and the cross-sectional structures of other pixel units 120 (1220) and 120 (1230) are also shown in the diagram. Figure 3 As shown.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the display panel 100 provided in this embodiment includes a display area AA and a non-display area NA. The display area AA is used for display, and the non-display area NA is used for setting peripheral circuits, etc. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The display area AA includes several pixel units 120, which are arranged within the display area AA.

[0048] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Pixel unit 120 includes a light-emitting device 121, an inner filter layer 122, and an outer filter layer 123. The light-emitting device 121 at least partially surrounds the inner filter layer 122, and the outer filter layer 123 at least partially surrounds the light-emitting device 121. Within the same pixel unit 120, the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 have the same color.

[0049] The light emitting device 121 is configured to emit light, and can be a blue light Micro LED. The light emitted by the light emitting device 121 is incident on the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123, respectively, so that the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 emit light of a color required by the pixel unit 120 in which the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 are located, and at least part of the light is emitted outwards through the light emitting surface of the display panel 100.

[0050] The present application increases the utilization rate of light by arranging filter layers on both the inner and outer sides of the light emitting device 121. In addition, the inner filter layer 122 is arranged on the inner side surrounded at least partially by the light emitting device 121, so that the middle region of the pixel unit 120 serves as a light emitting region, thereby increasing the light emitting area of the pixel unit 120 and improving the light emitting efficiency. At the same time, the number of light rays emitted at zero viewing angle can be increased, effectively solving the problem of attenuation at zero viewing angle. In addition, the shape of the light emitting device 121 at least partially surrounds the inner filter layer 122, so that the projection of the light emitting device 121 along the thickness direction of the display panel 100 has a relatively long extension length. On the premise of ensuring the light emitting amount of the light emitting device 121, the width of the projection of the light emitting device 121 along the thickness direction of the display panel 100 can be relatively narrow. Therefore, the light emitted by the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 towards the light emitting surface side of the display panel 100 can be mixed by the light emitting device 121 towards the light emitting surface side of the display panel 100, so that the light emitting device 121 is basically not perceived by the human eye.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, the pixel units 120 include a first pixel unit 1210, a second pixel unit 1220, and a third pixel unit 1230. The first pixel unit 1210 can be a red light emitting pixel unit, the second pixel unit 1220 can be a green light emitting pixel unit, and the third pixel unit 1230 can be a blue light emitting pixel unit. The first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 are arranged in order to form three primary color pixel units of the display panel 100. The arrangement mode of the first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 can be a triangular arrangement, a linear arrangement, or other forms of arrangement.

[0052] The light-emitting colors of the light-emitting devices 121 included in the first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 can be the same, and can specifically be blue light Micro LED. In order to realize that the first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 emit light of different colors, the colors of the inner filter layers 122 included in the first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 are different, and the colors of the outer filter layers 123 included in the first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 are different.

[0053] In order to distinguish that the first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 respectively fill the inner filter layers 122 in the first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 into different patterns, and respectively fill the outer filter layers 123 in the first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 into different patterns.

[0054] Specifically, the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 of the first pixel unit 1210 emit red light after receiving the light emitted by the light-emitting device 121 between the two, the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 of the second pixel unit 1220 emit green light after receiving the light emitted by the light-emitting device 121 between the two, and the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 of the third pixel unit 1230 emit blue light after receiving the light emitted by the light-emitting device 121 between the two.

[0055] When the light-emitting devices 121 included in the first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 are all the same light-emitting devices 121 that emit light of the same color, all the light-emitting devices 121 are manufactured in the same process technology, which simplifies the process flow and reduces the process difficulty; and the light-emitting efficiency of the blue light Micro LED is high.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, at least one of the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 includes quantum dots. For example, the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 are both quantum dot layers.

[0057] When the first pixel unit 1210, the second pixel unit 1220, and the third pixel unit 1230 are pixel units that emit red light, green light, and blue light respectively, the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 in the first pixel unit 1210 can be red quantum dot layers, the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 in the second pixel unit 1220 can be green quantum dot layers, and the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 in the third pixel unit 1230 can be blue quantum dot layers.

[0058] Figure 4 This is a planar schematic diagram of a pixel unit provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner filter layer 122 can be surrounded by the light-emitting device 121.

[0060] Or, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner light filter layer 122 can be partially surrounded by the light-emitting device 121. For example, the light-emitting device 121 may surround the inner light filter layer 122 on three sides. Since the size of the pixel unit 120 and the size of the light-emitting device 121 are mostly on the order of micrometers, it is relatively easy to configure the light-emitting device 121 to partially surround the inner light filter layer 122 in the manufacturing process. Therefore, the solution of this embodiment can be adopted for some display panels 100 with low process requirements.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer filter layer 123 can surround the light-emitting device 121. Alternatively, the outer filter layer 123 can partially surround the light-emitting device 121.

[0062] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is another cross-sectional view of the pixel unit provided in an embodiment of this application. In one embodiment of this application, the cavity formed by the light-emitting device 121 for at least partially surrounding the inner light filter layer 122 is not through-hole along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel 100. Therefore, the bottom of the light-emitting device 121 and the inner light filter layer 122 form an upper and lower structure, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting device 121 can be used to excite more of the inner light filter layer 122 to emit light within a limited space.

[0063] In one embodiment of this application, as Figure 3 As shown, along a direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel 100, the light-emitting device 121 forms an inner cavity that at least partially surrounds the inner light filter layer 122. This embodiment can reduce the difficulty of the manufacturing process and the precision requirements of the process, thus saving costs. Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a pixel unit provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 7 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a pixel unit provided in an embodiment of this application;Figure 8 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a pixel unit provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 9 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a pixel unit provided in an embodiment of this application;

[0064] Figure 10 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a pixel unit provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 11 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a pixel unit provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0065] In one embodiment of this application, the pixel unit 120 further includes a first reflective layer 124, which is disposed on the side of at least one of the light-emitting device 121, the inner filter layer 122, and the outer filter layer 123 that is away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100.

[0066] For example, please see Figure 6 The first reflective layer 124 is located on the side of the light-emitting device 121 that is away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100. The first reflective layer 124 reflects the light emitted by the light-emitting device 121 that is away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100, allowing more light to enter the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123, thereby improving the utilization rate of light; at the same time, it can block light from entering the circuit below the light-emitting device 121, thus avoiding affecting the operation of the transistors in the circuit.

[0067] For example, please see Figure 7 The first reflective layer 124 is located on the side of the inner light filter layer 122 that is away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100. The first reflective layer 124 reflects the light in the inner light filter layer 122 that is away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100, so that more light is emitted from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100.

[0068] For example, please see Figure 8 The first reflective layer 124 is located on the side of the outer light filter layer 123 that is away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100. The first reflective layer 124 reflects the light in the outer light filter layer 123 that is away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100, so that more light is emitted from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100.

[0069] For example, please see Figure 9 The first reflective layer 124 is located on the side of the inner light filter layer 122 and the outer light filter layer 123 that is away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100. The first reflective layer 124 reflects the light in the inner light filter layer 122 and the outer light filter layer 123 that is away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100, so that more light is emitted from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100, thereby increasing the luminous efficiency.

[0070] For example, please see Figure 3The first reflective layer 124 is located on the side of the light emitting device 121 and the outer filter layer 123 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100. The first reflective layer 124 reflects the light emitted by the light emitting device 121 and the outer filter layer 123 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100, so that more light is emitted from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100.

[0071] For example, refer to Figure 10 The first reflective layer 124 is located on the side of the light emitting device 121 and the outer filter layer 123 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100. The first reflective layer 124 reflects the light emitted by the light emitting device 121 and the outer filter layer 123 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100, so that more light is emitted from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100.

[0072] For example, refer to Figure 11 In an embodiment of the present application, the first reflective layer 124 is located on the side of the light emitting device 121, the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100, and the projection of the first reflective layer 124 in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel covers the light emitting device 121, the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123. Therefore, the first reflective layer 124 can reflect light to the maximum extent and improve light utilization.

[0073] For example, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 11 In an embodiment of the present application, the pixel unit 120 further includes a first electrode 126 and a second electrode 127. The first electrode 126 is electrically connected to the anode of the light emitting device 121, and the second electrode 127 is electrically connected to the cathode of the light emitting device 121. The first electrode 126 and the second electrode 127 are respectively connected to the corresponding driving circuit and signal line to realize power supply to the light emitting device 121 and make the light emitting device 121 self-luminescence. At least one of the first electrode 126 and the second electrode 127 is multiplexed as the first reflective layer 124.

[0074] For example, refer to Figure 11 In an embodiment of the present application, the first electrode 126 is located at a position away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100 in the pixel unit 120, and the second electrode 127 is located at a position close to the light emitting surface of the display panel 100 in the pixel unit 120. The first electrode 126 can be multiplexed as the first reflective layer 124. Multiplexing the first electrode 126 as the first reflective layer 124 can effectively reduce the number of masks used in the manufacturing process, reduce production costs, simplify process difficulty, and effectively ensure light utilization and luminous efficiency.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 6As shown, the first electrode 126 and the second electrode 127 are both located in the pixel unit 120 away from the light-out surface of the display panel 100, and the first electrode 126 and the second electrode 127 are separated and insulated. Among them, the first electrode 126 and the second electrode 127 are both multiplexed as the first light-reflecting layer 124, and the first electrode 126 and the second electrode 127 are arranged on the same side of the light-emitting device 121, which can effectively save the thickness of the pixel unit 120 along the first direction (i.e. the direction perpendicular to the plane where the display panel 100 is located), and is conducive to the thinning of the display panel 100. At the same time, multiplexing the first electrode 126 and the second electrode 127 as the first light-reflecting layer 124 can effectively reduce the number of times of using the mask in the manufacturing process, reduce the production cost, simplify the process difficulty, and also effectively ensure the light utilization rate and the light-emitting efficiency.

[0076] As shown in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 11 the pixel unit 120 further comprises a second light-reflecting layer 125 arranged on the side of the light-emitting device 121 facing the light-out surface of the display panel 100. The second light-reflecting layer 125 does not overlap with the normal projection of the inner light-filter layer 122 and the surface of the outer light-filter layer 123 facing the light-out surface of the display panel 100 along the first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the plane where the display panel 100 is located. The function of the second light-reflecting layer 125 is to reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting device 121 towards the light-out surface of the display panel 100, so as to avoid the direct emission of this part of light, and at the same time, to increase the light entering the inner light-filter layer 122 and the outer light-filter layer 123.

[0077] As shown in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 11 the pixel unit 120 further comprises a first electrode 126 and a second electrode 127, the first electrode 126 is electrically connected to the anode of the light-emitting device 121, and the second electrode 127 is electrically connected to the cathode of the light-emitting device 121. The first electrode 126 is located in the pixel unit 120 away from the light-out surface of the display panel 100, and the second electrode 127 is located in the pixel unit 120 close to the light-out surface of the display panel 100.

[0078] Among them, one of the first electrode 126 and the second electrode 127 is multiplexed as the first light-reflecting layer 124, and the other is multiplexed as the second light-reflecting layer 125. Multiplexing one of the first electrode 126 and the second electrode 127 as the first light-reflecting layer 124 and the other as the second light-reflecting layer 125 can effectively reduce the number of times of using the mask in the manufacturing process, reduce the production cost, simplify the process difficulty, and also effectively ensure the light utilization rate and the light-emitting efficiency.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 In an embodiment of the present application, the shape of the orthographic projection of the light emitting device 121 along the first direction comprises at least one of a circular ring, a rectangular ring, an elliptical ring or a triangular ring. It should be noted that the shape of the orthographic projection of the surface of the light emitting device 121 facing the light emitting surface of the display panel 100 along the first direction is at least one of a circular ring, a rectangular ring, an elliptical ring or a triangular ring.

[0081] For example, as shown in Figure 2 , the shape of the orthographic projection of the light emitting device 121 along the first direction comprises a rectangular ring, and the area surrounded by the rectangular ring is filled with the inner filter layer 122. The outer periphery of the rectangular ring is provided with the outer filter layer 123.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 15The outer edge of the light-emitting device 121 in the orthographic projection along the first direction is rectangular, and the inner edge is circular. The area surrounded by the inner edge is filled with the inner filter layer 122, and the outer periphery of the outer edge is provided with the outer filter layer 123. Therefore, the contact surface of the outer filter layer 123 and the light-emitting device 121 is a plane, which is beneficial to the propagation of light and can effectively prevent refraction of light during propagation. The contact surface of the inner filter layer 122 and the light-emitting device 121 is a curved surface, which can improve the space utilization and ensure the light utilization.

[0086] Referring to Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, the outer filter layer 123 surrounds the light-emitting device 121, and the outer filter layer 123 completely surrounds the light-emitting device 121. Therefore, the outer filter layer 123 can maximize the reception of light emitted by the outer sidewall of the light-emitting device 121, which is beneficial to improving the light-emitting efficiency of the pixel unit 120. At the same time, the outer filter layer 123 surrounding the light-emitting device 121 is beneficial to the thinning of the display panel 100.

[0087] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 11 In an embodiment of the present application, the contact surface of the inner filter layer 122 and the light-emitting device 121 is parallel to the first direction, and the first direction is a direction perpendicular to the plane in which the display panel 100 is located. The contact surface between the inner filter layer 122 and the light-emitting device 121 is perpendicular to the plane in which the display panel 100 is located, which can reduce the process difficulty and control the production cost. The inner filter layer 122 is arranged on the inner side of the light-emitting device 121, which can increase the light-emitting area and also increase the amount of light emitted at 0° viewing angle.

[0088] Referring to Figure 11 In an embodiment of the present application, the included angle between the contact surface of the outer filter layer 123 and the light-emitting device 121 and the first direction is an acute angle, and the contact surface of the outer filter layer 123 and the light-emitting device 121 is inclined from the end close to the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100 to the end away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100. The inclination of the contact surface of the outer filter layer 123 and the light-emitting device 121 from the end close to the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100 to the end away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel 100 can effectively increase the contact area of the outer filter layer 123 and the light-emitting device 121, improve the light utilization, and also be beneficial to exciting the quantum dots in the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency.

[0090] Referring to Figure 16 and Figure 17In an embodiment of the present application, the pixel unit 120 further comprises a bottom filter layer 129, which is located on the side of the light emitting device 121 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100. In the same pixel unit 120, the color of the bottom filter layer 129 is the same as that of the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123. The bottom filter layer 129 is located on the side of the light emitting device 121 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel, which can effectively utilize the light source on the side of the light emitting device 121 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel and excite the bottom filter layer 129 to emit light, thereby further improving the light utilization rate. The bottom filter layer 129 is in contact with the inner filter layer 122 and the outer filter layer 123, respectively. The first reflective layer 124 is located on the side of the bottom filter layer 129 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, the pixel unit 120 further comprises a black pixel definition layer 128, which surrounds the outer periphery of the outer filter layer 123 and is located on the side of the inner filter layer 122 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100 or on the side of the bottom filter layer 129 away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100. The black pixel definition layer 128 can effectively organize light to emit from the non-light emitting surface, ensure the color gamut of light, and prevent light from occurring cross talk.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 16 In an embodiment of the present application, the contact surface between the black pixel definition layer 128 and the outer filter layer 123 forms an acute angle with the first direction, and the contact surface between the black pixel definition layer 128 and the outer filter layer 123 is inclined from the side close to the light emitting surface of the display panel 100 to the side away from the light emitting surface of the display panel 100. Therefore, the contact area between the black pixel definition layer 128 and the outer filter layer 123 is increased, and the light can be better prevented from leaking to the non-light emitting surface of the display panel 100.

[0093] In the present application, the light emitting device 121 is made into a "back" type structure, the filter layers are arranged on the inner side and the outer side of the light emitting device, and the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer are arranged on the pixel unit to prevent the light emitted by the light emitting device from occurring cross talk with the light emitted by the inner filter layer or the outer filter layer. At the same time, the middle region of the pixel unit is used as a light emitting region, which not only increases the light emitting area of the pixel unit but also effectively solves the problem of light attenuation at zero viewing angle.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 18 , Figure 18A schematic diagram of a display device provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. The present application also provides a display device 200 comprising a display panel 100. The display device provided by the embodiment of the present application can be a mobile phone. In addition, the display device provided by the embodiment of the present application can also be a computer, a television or other electronic product. In the display device 200, the utilization rate of light is increased by arranging the light filtering layers on both the inner and outer sides of the light emitting device 121, and the middle region of the pixel unit 120 is used as the light emitting region due to the arrangement of the inner light filtering layer 122 on the inner side surrounded by the light emitting device 121, so that the light emitting area of the pixel unit 120 is increased, the light emitting efficiency is improved, and the number of light rays emitted at the zero-degree viewing angle is increased, effectively solving the problem of attenuation at the zero-degree viewing angle.
