In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second" and the like are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] Example

[0035] The present embodiment proposes a display 1 provided with a solar cell 2, the display 1 comprising a first substrate 11 and a second substrate 12, the solar cell 2 comprising a substrate and a functional structure layer 21, wherein the substrate of the solar cell 2 is shared with the substrate of the display 1, which can be the first substrate 11 and / or the second substrate 12 of the display 1. Further, the functional structure layer 21 of the solar cell 2 is arranged on the inner surface of the first substrate 11 and / or the second substrate 12, or arranged on the outer surface of the first substrate 11 and / or the second substrate 12.

[0036] As Figure 1As shown, the functional structure layer 21 includes an anode 211, a PV photovoltaic layer 212, and a cathode 213 arranged in a stack. Further, the solar cell 2 also includes an anode auxiliary metal electrode 216 and an insulating layer 23 arranged between the cathode 213 and the anode auxiliary metal electrode 216.

[0037] As shown, the functional structure layer 21 of the solar cell 2 arranged in the VA region 13 of the display 1 is arranged in a grid structure 22 or in a full-area pattern. When arranged in a grid pattern, the grid structure 22 overlaps the intervals of the sub-pixels in the VA region 13 of the display 1; when arranged in a full-area pattern, at least light of the same color as the sub-pixels is allowed to pass through the functional structure layer 21 of the solar cell 2. Figure 2

[0038] Further, the solar cell 2 also has a VA region 13 and a non-VA region 14, the VA region 13 corresponds to the VA region 13 of the display 1, and the non-VA region 14 of the solar cell 2 is arranged outside the VA region 13, and the non-VA region 14 also includes the positive (anode 211) and negative (cathode 213) lead electrodes of the solar cell 2.

[0039] Preferably, the sealing glue 6 for bonding the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 together is a light-cured resin or a heat-cured resin, and has a water vapor barrier WVTR value of 2-6 g / m 2 / day.

[0040] Among them, the solar cell 2 that can only be arranged on the inner surface of the first substrate 11 and / or the second substrate 12 is the first type of cell, i.e. OPV (organic solar cell 2), perovskite solar cell 2, DSC (dye-sensitized solar cell 2) and quantum dot photovoltaic device, which requires encapsulation of the photovoltaic layer inside the device. The solar cell 2 arranged on the outer surface of the first substrate 11 and / or the second substrate 12 is the second type of cell, i.e. crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, gallium arsenide, CIGS, CdTe (cadmium telluride) and other photovoltaic devices, which do not require encapsulation of the photovoltaic layer. As shown, Figure 2 The second type of solar cell 2 can also be arranged on the inner surface of the first substrate 11 and / or the second substrate 12, which reduces the production process of the combined device and allows the display electrode 15 to share the positive electrode (anode 211) of the solar cell 2.

[0041] As shown, Figure 8 Generally, there are two types of spacers 18 in the display 1: one is to use a spherical high-molecular insulating material with uniform particle size, which is sprayed on the surface of the substrate by equipment. The other is to use an organic photoresist material, which is directly made on the fixed position of the non-display area of the substrate pixel through yellow light process. Figure 7 ​The left ball spacer 18 is prepared by spraying, and the right inverse trapezoidal spacer 18 is prepared by yellow light process. Preferably, when the functional structure layer 21 of the solar cell 2 is arranged on the inner surface of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, the functional structure layer 21 of the solar cell 2 in the VA area 13 of the display 1 can be made into a non-functional point structure. Those skilled in the art should understand that non-functional here means that it does not have electrical function in the display, and the point structure solar cell 2 arranged in the VA area 13 does not have photovoltaic function. This structure can replace the spacer 18 in the VA area 13 of the display 1, and the spacer 18 supports the cell thickness of the display 1 to make the display 1 display uniformly. Since the functional structure layer 21 of the point structure solar cell 2 in the VA area 13 is integrally made with the functional structure layer 21 of the solar cell 2 in the non-VA area 14, the point structure solar cell 2 in the VA area 13 replaces the conventional spacer 18 in the display, reduces the process, and supports the cell thickness of the display 1 to make the display 1 display uniformly.

[0042] As Figures 9-11 , the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the point structure is not limited to a circular, oval, rectangular shape, and the like. The outer size of the circular, oval, rectangular shape and the like is set to be within 30 μm, and the height is within the range of 0.5-20 μm. Those skilled in the art should be able to think that the outer size referred to here refers to the size of the length or width or diameter. The point structure as the cell thickness support of the display 1 makes the display 1 display more uniformly. Among them, the point structure as the cell support in the display 1 includes but is not limited to the anode 211+PV photovoltaic layer 212, the anode 211+PV photovoltaic layer 212+cathode 213, the anode 211+PV photovoltaic layer 212+cathode 213+auxiliary electrode, the anode 211+PV photovoltaic layer 212+cathode 213+auxiliary electrode+insulating layer 23 of the solar cell 2, or consists of one or more structures of the above stacking structure.

[0045] Preferably, the functional structure layer 21 of the solar cell 2 is arranged on the non-VA area 14 of the inner and / or outer surface of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 and / or the VA area 13 of the inner and / or outer surface of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12. Further preferably, the functional structure layer 21 of the solar cell 2 is arranged on the VA area 13 of the inner and / or outer surface of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 in a grid structure 22 corresponding to the pattern shape for separating the display pixel intervals in the row and column directions of the display 1.

The anode 211 of the solar cell 2 can be arranged inside the sealing adhesive 6 bonding the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, or arranged outside the sealing adhesive 6; when arranged outside the sealing adhesive 6, it can be arranged inside the device (in the box) or outside the device (out of the box). The electrode of the solar cell 2, i.e. the anode 211 of the solar cell 2, is connected to the lead-out electrode prearranged on one side of the display 1 through the conductive particles 3 or conductive adhesive prearranged inside the device box, outside the device box or inside the sealing adhesive 6, and finally the terminal of the display electrode 15 and the lead-out electrode of the solar cell 2 are output together to the driving IC or driving mainboard through the flexible circuit board or binding method.

[0048] As Figure 4As shown, preferably, when the functional structure layer 21 of the solar cell 2 is arranged on the inner surface of the first substrate 11 and / or the second substrate 12, the solar cell 2 is a first type of cell, and the display electrode 15 is connected to the lead-out electrode arranged on one end of the display 1 through the conductive particles 3 or conductive adhesive arranged between the anode 211 of the solar cell 2 and the display electrode 15.

The electrode of the solar cell 2 and the display electrode 15 are connected through the binding method of the Y-shaped FPC 5, and finally the terminal of the display electrode 15 and the lead-out electrode of the solar cell 2 are output together to the driving IC or driving mainboard.

[0050] Figure 7 As shown, preferably, when the functional structure layer 21 of the solar cell 2 is arranged on the outer surface of the first substrate 11 and / or the second substrate 12, the solar cell 2 can be a second type of cell, and the electrode of the solar cell 2 and the display electrode 15 are connected through the Y-shaped FPC 5, and the terminals of the two branches of the Y-shaped FPC 5 are connected to the electrode of the solar cell 2 and the display electrode 15, respectively.

Further, the transparent desiccant 215 is divided into two types.

Therefore, when using such a transparent desiccant 215, the cathode protective layer 214 can not be used. The other is a liquid desiccant 215 mixed in a certain proportion with perchlorate (10% to 15% -wt%), polyethylene glycol ester (60% to 80% -wt%), modified acrylic resin (5% to 15% -wt%) and a small amount of additives (1% to 5%). Since such a desiccant 215 can corrode some cathode 213 materials (metals and alloys), when such materials are used, the transparent cathode 213 must be protected (i.e. a cathode protective layer 214 is made on the outer surface of the cathode 213). Perchlorate is mainly composed of lithium perchlorate, sodium perchlorate, potassium perchlorate, calcium perchlorate, magnesium perchlorate and other compounds composed of first main group, second main group and third main group metals and perchloric acid. The coating amount of the transparent desiccant 215 needs to be set in equal amount according to the volume of the sealing cavity formed by the substrates of the solar cell 2 device, i.e. the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 and the sealing glue 6, to avoid bubbles in the sealing cavity, which will affect the display effect of the display 1 arranged below the solar device.

[0053] Preferably, the anode 211 layer is generally made of metal oxide (ITO, AZO, FTO, ATO, etc.), nano-silver, metal element or alloy (magnesium, silver element or alloy) or high-conductivity organic polymer material (such as PEDOT:PSS). When the anode 211 is made of metal oxide, nano-silver or high-conductivity organic polymer material, its thickness is set in the range of 20 nm to 5 μm. When the anode 211 is made of metal element or alloy material, its thickness is set in the range of 10 to 30 nm. Preferably, the anode 211 can also be matched with a metal auxiliary electrode to improve the conductivity of the electrode and thus improve the conversion efficiency of the device.

[0054] Further preferably, the anode auxiliary metal electrode 216 layer is generally made of low-resistivity metal elements Al, Ag, Cu, Mo, Pt, Ti, etc. by PVD or MOCVD coating, and then etched by yellow light.

[0055] Preferably, the cathode 213 layer is generally made of metal oxides (ITO, AZO, FTO, ATO, etc.), nano-silver, metal elements or alloys (magnesium, silver elements or alloys), or high-conductivity organic polymer materials (such as PEDOT:PSS), etc. When the cathode 213 is made of metal oxides, nano-silver, or high-conductivity organic polymer materials, the thickness thereof is set in the range of 20 nm to 5 μm. When the cathode 213 is made of metal elements or alloys, the thickness thereof is set in the range of 10 to 30 nm.

[0056] With continued reference to Figure 1 , preferably, the cathode 213 is connected to the cathode 213 lead previously laid in the same plane as the substrate anode 211 through a via or at the periphery of the PV layer. Preferably, when the cathode 213 is connected through a via or at the periphery of the PV layer, an insulating layer 23 is also previously set at the inner wall of the PV opening and the cross section of the PV periphery, so as to ensure that the cathode 213 does not contact the cross section of the PV, and thus no current leakage occurs, further ensuring the electrical performance of the device. The insulating layer 23 can be made of organic polymer materials or inorganic silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or a multi-layer film made of overlapping organic and inorganic materials. The diameter of the via is less than 10 μm, and at least one via is provided. When the cathode 213 is connected in the manner of peripheral overlap, the overlapping area is greater than 20 square microns.
