Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly, to a display panel and a display device. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a display module includes a backlight unit, a lower polarizer, a liquid crystal box, an upper polarizer, an adhesive layer, and a glass cover plate, which are arranged in sequence along the thickness direction. The upper polarizer includes two stacked film layers of PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) and TAC (Triacetyl Cellulose), wherein TAC is arranged on the side of the PVA facing the glass cover plate. PVA is the main functional layer of the upper polarizer, and TAC is a protective film layer. The adhesive layer densely covers the upper polarizer, resulting in a polyene reaction in the upper polarizer due to the high temperature during high-temperature experiments such as reliability testing. During the high-temperature process, PVA undergoes a dehydration reaction, and water vapor cannot be discharged in time, reacting with the TAC in the upper polarizer to form acetic acid. The material used to make the adhesive layer also contains acidic components. The presence of acidity will cause the upper polarizer to turn red, thereby reducing the reliability of the display module. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a display panel and a display device to improve the problem of polarizer reddening during reliability testing.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a display panel, comprising a first polarizer, an array substrate, a color filter substrate, and a second polarizer arranged along the thickness direction of the display panel, wherein the array substrate is located on a side of the first polarizer facing a light-emitting surface of the display panel, the color filter substrate is located on a side of the array substrate away from the first polarizer, and the second polarizer is located on a side of the color filter substrate away from the first polarizer;

[0005] It also includes a water-absorbing material layer, which is located on a surface of the second polarizer that is away from the first polarizer, and / or

[0006] The water absorbing material layer is located on a surface of the second polarizer facing the first polarizer.

[0007] In a second aspect, the present application provides a display device, which includes a display panel.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the display panel and display device provided by the present invention achieve at least the following beneficial effects:

[0009] The present application provides a display panel and a display device. The display panel is provided with a first polarizer, an array substrate, a color filter substrate, and a second polarizer in the thickness direction. The present application provides a water-absorbing material layer on the surface of the second polarizer away from the first polarizer, and / or provides a water-absorbing material layer on the surface of the second polarizer facing the first polarizer. The water-absorbing material layer provided on the side of the second polarizer facing the first polarizer can be used to absorb water vapor generated by PVA in the second polarizer at high temperature, and the water-absorbing material layer provided on the side of the second polarizer away from the first polarizer can be used to absorb water vapor generated by OCA (Optically Colored Photodiode) provided on the side of the second polarizer away from the first polarizer in the display panel. The water vapor around the second polarizer is absorbed by the OCA and the optical adhesive, and the transmission of water vapor to the TAC is reduced or even avoided. At the same time, the water-absorbing material layer can also absorb the water vapor around the second polarizer as much as possible. This arrangement is conducive to avoiding the problem of the polarizer turning red due to the acidic substance formed by the reaction of water vapor with the TAC in the second polarizer, and can also avoid the dissolution of the acidic components in the OCA due to the contact of water vapor with the OCA, thereby avoiding the problem of the polarizer turning red due to the contact of the acidic components in the OCA with the polarizer, thereby improving the reliability of the display panel.

It can also avoid the problem of the polarizer turning red due to the acidic substances generated by OCA due to contact with water vapor reacting with the second polarizer 12, thereby further improving the reliability of the display panel 100 and improving the subsequent use effect of the display panel 100.

In this case, the adhesive layer 16 and the water-absorbing material layer 15 can be provided on the same layer. The specific setting method is to provide the adhesive layer 16 on the side surface of the second polarizer 12 away from the first polarizer 11. The adhesive layer 16 is provided along the display panel 1 00 is provided with a first opening 161 penetrating the thickness of the adhesive layer 16, and the water-absorbing material block 153 can be embedded in the first opening 161, so that the adhesive layer 16 and the water-absorbing material layer 15 are arranged in the same layer. Compared with arranging the water-absorbing material layer 15 and the adhesive layer 16 in layers, the overall thickness of the display panel 100 can be reduced, and at the same time, the water-absorbing material layer 15 can be used to absorb the water vapor existing in the second polarizer 12, and the adhesive layer 16 can also be used to achieve the fixed arrangement of the glass cover plate on the side of the adhesive layer 16 away from the second polarizer 12.

[0047] It should be added that when the adhesive layer 16 is provided with a first opening 161 extending through the thickness of the display panel 100 and the water-absorbing material block 153 is embedded in the first opening 161, it can be selected that along the thickness direction of the display panel 100, the orthographic projection of one first opening 161 on the first polarizer 11 overlaps with the orthographic projection of one opening area 21 on the first polarizer 11, thereby achieving the orthographic projection of one water-absorbing material block 153 on the first polarizer 11 overlapping with the orthographic projection of each opening area 21 on the first polarizer 11, so that The setting of the water-absorbing material block 153 can be mainly used to absorb water vapor in the second polarizer 12 corresponding to the opening area 21 in the display panel 100, so as to reduce or eliminate the problem of the polarizer turning red due to the acidic substances formed by the reaction between water vapor and TAC in the second polarizer 12. It can also avoid the problem of the polarizer turning red due to the acidic substances generated by OCA due to contact with water vapor reacting with the second polarizer 12, which can further improve the reliability of the display panel 100 and improve the subsequent use effect of the display panel 100.

This application does not make specific restrictions on this, and whether to provide a water-absorbing material layer 15 on the surface of the second polarizer 12 facing the first polarizer 11 can be selected according to needs.

[0049] Figure 10 Shown is a cross-sectional view of the first electrode layer provided by this application. Figure 11 Shown is the application provided Figure 1 AA' includes a cross-sectional view of the first electrode layer, Figure 11 The middle vertical dotted line is used to mark the opening area 21 and the non-opening area 22 set at intervals, and only two groups 21 and 22 are used as identification; please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 Optionally, it further includes a first electrode layer 17, and the first electrode layer 17 is located on a side surface of the second polarizer 12 away from the first polarizer 11;

[0050] Along the thickness direction of the display panel 100, the first electrode layer 17 includes at least one second opening 171 extending through the thickness thereof, and the orthographic projection of the second opening 171 on the first polarizer 11 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the at least one opening area 21 on the first polarizer 11;

[0051] The water-absorbing material block 153 is embedded in the second opening 171 .

[0052] Specifically, the display panel 100 includes a first polarizer 11, an array substrate 13, a color film substrate 14, a second polarizer 12 and a water-absorbing material layer 15, and further includes a first electrode layer 17. The present application also provides an optional implementation method in which the first electrode layer 17 is arranged on the surface of the second polarizer 12 away from the first polarizer 11. In this case, the first electrode layer 17 and the water-absorbing material layer 15 can be arranged in the same layer. The specific setting method is to arrange the first electrode layer 17 on the surface of the second polarizer 12 away from the first polarizer 11. A first electrode layer 17 is provided on the surface, and a second opening 171 is provided in the first electrode layer 17 along the thickness direction of the display panel 100 and penetrates the thickness of the first electrode layer 17. The water-absorbing material block 153 can be embedded in the second opening 171, so that the first electrode layer 17 and the water-absorbing material layer 15 are arranged in the same layer. Compared with arranging the water-absorbing material layer 15 and the first electrode layer 17 in layers, the overall thickness of the display panel 100 can be reduced, and at the same time, the water-absorbing material layer 15 can be used to absorb water vapor in the second polarizer 12.

[0053] It should be added that when the first electrode layer 17 is provided with a second opening 171 extending through the thickness of the display panel 100 and a water-absorbing material block 153 is embedded in the second opening 171, it can be selected to be arranged along the thickness direction of the display panel 100 so that the orthographic projection of a second opening 171 on the first polarizer 11 overlaps with the orthographic projection of an opening area 21 on the first polarizer 11, thereby achieving the overlap of the orthographic projection of a water-absorbing material block 153 on the first polarizer 11 and the orthographic projection of each opening area 21 on the first polarizer 11, so that the arrangement of the water-absorbing material block 153 can be mainly used to absorb water vapor in the second polarizer 12 corresponding to the opening area 21 in the display panel 100, so as to reduce or eliminate the problem of the polarizer turning red due to the acidic substance formed by the reaction of water vapor with TAC in the second polarizer 12, and can also further enhance the reliability of the display panel 100 and enhance the subsequent use effect of the display panel 100.

[0054] It should also be added that when the first electrode layer 17 and the water-absorbing material block 153 embedded in the first electrode layer 17 are provided on the side of the second polarizer 12 away from the first polarizer 11, it is further optional to further provide a water-absorbing material layer 15 on the surface of the second polarizer 12 facing the first polarizer 11, or it is also optional not to provide a water-absorbing material layer 15 on the surface of the second polarizer 12 facing the first polarizer 11. This application does not make specific restrictions on this, and whether to provide a water-absorbing material layer 15 on the surface of the second polarizer 12 facing the first polarizer 11 can be selected according to needs.

[0055] Figure 12 The diagram shows a schematic diagram of the water-absorbing material layer provided in this application. Figure 5-Figure 7 Reference Figure 1 and Figure 12 Optionally, the display panel 100 includes a first display area 31 and a second display area 32 surrounding the first display area 31;

[0056] The arrangement density of the water absorbent material blocks 153 in the first display area 31 is greater than the arrangement density of the water absorbent material blocks 153 in the second display area 32 .

[0057] Specifically, when the water-absorbing material layer 15 in the display panel 100 includes a plurality of water-absorbing material blocks 153, the present application also provides an optional embodiment in which the display panel 100 includes a first display area 31 and a second display area 32 surrounding the first display area 31. The density of the water-absorbing material blocks 153 in the first display area 31 can be set to be greater than the density of the water-absorbing material blocks 153 in the second display area 32, so that the water-absorbing material layer 15 has a better water-absorbing effect on the central area (first display area 31) of the display panel 100 than on the edge area (second display area 32); because in the display panel 100, the closer to the central area, the more water vapor can pass through. The farther the water vapor escapes from the side edge of the display panel 100, the less likely it is to be discharged. Therefore, by setting the density of the water-absorbing material block 153 in the central area of ​​the display panel 100 to be higher, it is more conducive to improving the absorption of water vapor in the second polarizer 12 by the water-absorbing material layer 15, thereby reducing or eliminating the problem of acidic substances formed by the reaction between water vapor and TAC in the second polarizer 12 causing the polarizer to turn red. It can also avoid the problem of acidic substances generated by the OCA further arranged on the side of the second polarizer away from the first polarizer due to contact with water vapor and reacting with the second polarizer 12, causing the polarizer to turn red, thereby improving the reliability of the display panel 100.

[0058] Please continue to combine Figure 5-Figure 7 Reference Figure 1 and Figure 12 Optionally, the display panel 100 includes a first display area 31 and a second display area 32 surrounding the first display area 31;

[0059] The area proportion of the water-absorbing material block 153 in the first display area 31 is greater than the area proportion of the water-absorbing material block 153 in the second display area 32 .

[0060] Specifically, when the water-absorbing material layer 15 in the display panel 100 includes a plurality of water-absorbing material blocks 153, the present application also provides an optional embodiment in which the display panel 100 includes a first display area 31 and a second display area 32 surrounding the first display area 31. The total area of ​​the water-absorbing material blocks 153 in the first display area 31 can be set to be larger than the total area of ​​the water-absorbing material blocks 153 in the second display area 32, so that the water-absorbing material layer 15 has a better water-absorbing effect on the central area (first display area 31) of the display panel 100 than on the edge area (second display area 32); because in the display panel 100, the closer to the central area, the less water vapor can absorb. The farther the water escapes from the side edge of the display panel 100, the less likely it is to be discharged. Therefore, by setting the area of ​​the water-absorbing material block 153 in the central area of ​​the display panel 100 to be larger, it is more conducive to improving the absorption of water vapor in the second polarizer 12 by the water-absorbing material layer 15, thereby reducing or eliminating the problem of acidic substances formed by the reaction of water vapor with TAC in the second polarizer 12 causing the polarizer to turn red. It can also avoid the problem of acidic substances generated by the OCA further arranged on the side of the second polarizer away from the first polarizer due to contact with water vapor and reacting with the second polarizer 12, causing the polarizer to turn red, thereby improving the reliability of the display panel 100.

[0063] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional embodiment in which the second polarizer 12 includes a polarizing layer 121 and a protective layer 122, and the polarizing layer 121 and the protective layer 122 are stacked along the thickness direction of the display panel 100, wherein the protective layer 122 can be arranged on the side surface of the polarizing layer 121 away from the first polarizer 11. At this time, a water-absorbing material layer 15 can be further arranged on the side surface of the second polarizer 12 away from the first polarizer 11, and on the side surface of the second polarizer 12 facing the first polarizer 11, that is, on the side surface of the second polarizer 12 facing the first polarizer 11. A water-absorbing material layer 15 is provided on the surface of the side away from the first polarizer 11. The double-layer water-absorbing material layer 15 (151 and 152) can absorb the water vapor in the second polarizer 12, thereby reducing or eliminating the problem of the polarizer turning red due to the acidic substances formed by the reaction between the water vapor in the polarizing layer 121 and the protective layer 122.

[0064] It should also be added that when the water-absorbing material layer 15 is provided on both the side surface of the second polarizer 12 facing the first polarizer 11 and the side surface away from the first polarizer 11, one of the water-absorbing material layers 15 can be selected to be planar and the other water-absorbing material layer 15 can be block-shaped; it is also possible to select both water-absorbing material layers 15 to be planar, and the areas of the two planar shapes can be the same or different; it is also possible to select both water-absorbing material layers 15 to be block-shaped, and the block-shaped water-absorbing material blocks 153 in the two water-absorbing material layers 15 can be arranged one-to-one, or the areas and sizes of the water-absorbing material blocks 153 in different water-absorbing material layers 15 can be different; this application does not make any specific restrictions on this, and the specific setting structure of the water-absorbing material layer 15 can be selected according to needs.

By providing the water-absorbing material layer 15 between the adhesive layer 16 and the second polarizer 12, the water-absorbing material layer 15 absorbs the water vapor generated after the polarizer is dehydrated, thereby reducing or eliminating the problem of the polarizer turning red due to the acidic substances formed by the reaction of water vapor with TAC in the second polarizer 12, and also avoiding the problem of the second polarizer 12 turning red due to the reaction of the acidic substances in the adhesive layer 16 with the polarizer, thereby improving the reliability of the display panel 100 and further improving the subsequent use effect of the display panel 100.

[0067] It is also necessary to specifically add that when the second polarizer 12 is provided with a polarizing layer 121 and a protective layer 122, and an adhesive layer 16 is further provided on the side of the second polarizer 12 away from the first polarizer 11, the water vapor generated by the dehydration of the polarizing layer 121 can be absorbed by the water-absorbing material layer 15, which can reduce the continuous reaction between the water vapor and the material of the protective layer 122, and at the same time reduce the acidic components dissolved and precipitated by the water vapor in contact with the adhesive layer 16, thereby reducing the problem of the second polarizer 12 turning red; or the water-absorbing material layer 15 absorbs the water vapor so that the acidic components are not generated at all, so that the polyolefination reaction disappears, thereby avoiding the problem of the second polarizer 12 turning red, and improving the reliability and display effect of the display panel 100.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 14 Optionally, the water-absorbing material layer 15 is made of at least one of sodium polyacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, and ethylene oxide.

[0069] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional implementation method, in which the material for making the water-absorbing material layer 15 can be selected from any one or at least one of sodium polyacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, and ethylene oxide.

[0072] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the display panel and display device provided by the present invention achieve at least the following beneficial effects:

[0073] The present application provides a display panel and a display device. The display panel is provided with a first polarizer, an array substrate, a color filter substrate, and a second polarizer in the thickness direction. The present application provides a water-absorbing material layer on the surface of the second polarizer away from the first polarizer, and / or provides a water-absorbing material layer on the surface of the second polarizer facing the first polarizer. The water-absorbing material layer provided on the side of the second polarizer facing the first polarizer can be used to absorb water vapor generated by PVA in the second polarizer at high temperature, and the water-absorbing material layer provided on the side of the second polarizer away from the first polarizer can be used to absorb water vapor generated by OCA (Optically Colored Photodiode) provided on the side of the second polarizer away from the first polarizer in the display panel. The water vapor around the second polarizer is absorbed by the OCA and the optical adhesive, and the transmission of water vapor to the TAC is reduced or even avoided. At the same time, the water-absorbing material layer can also absorb the water vapor around the second polarizer as much as possible. This arrangement is conducive to avoiding the problem of the polarizer turning red due to the acidic substance formed by the reaction of water vapor with the TAC in the second polarizer, and can also avoid the dissolution of the acidic components in the OCA due to the contact of water vapor with the OCA, thereby avoiding the problem of the polarizer turning red due to the contact of the acidic components in the OCA with the polarizer, thereby improving the reliability of the display panel.
