Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In a high temperature and high humidity environment during reliability testing of existing liquid crystal display panels, water vapor easily enters the box of the liquid crystal display panel through the edge of the frame sealant, thereby causing corrosion of the via holes near the frame sealant.

[0003] In order to prevent via corrosion, polyimide (PI) is usually required to cover the via near the frame sealant to strengthen the via protection. However, due to the close relative position of the via and the frame sealant, coupled with the problem of PI coating accuracy, PI is easy to diffuse to the frame sealant position, thereby covering the common electrode line of the array substrate at the frame sealant position. In addition, due to the large resistance of PI, the conductivity of the gold ball located in the frame sealant connecting the common electrode line of the array substrate and the common electrode on the color filter substrate side will be affected, resulting in poor uniformity of the common electrode signal, and prone to problems such as abnormal screen flickering.

[0017] In a possible implementation manner, the color filter substrate further includes a color resist layer located between the second base substrate and the common electrode layer;

[0018] The second spacer is arranged on the same layer as the color resist layer.

[0019] In a possible implementation manner, the material of the second spacer is the same as the material of the color resist corresponding to any color in the color resist layer.

[0020] In a possible implementation manner, the longitudinal section of the second cushion material includes a rectangle or a trapezoid.

[0022] In a possible implementation manner, the first liner and the insulating layer are provided in the same layer and with the same material.

[0023] In a possible implementation manner, the longitudinal section of the first cushion material includes a rectangle or a trapezoid.

[0024] The height of the first spacer is greater than or equal to the height of the insulating layer.

[0025] In a possible implementation manner, the first protection layer partially overlaps with the first via hole and does not overlap with a top surface of the first spacer.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the display panel includes a display area and a peripheral non-display area, the frame sealing glue is arranged in the peripheral non-display area, the peripheral non-display area also includes a circuit area, the circuit area includes a transfer hole structure, the first conductive layer and the first protective layer sequentially cover the transfer hole structure, and the gate signal line is switched to the source and drain layer through the first conductive layer and the transfer hole structure.

In the above scheme, since a first spacer with a height greater than or equal to the height of the insulating layer is arranged in the first via hole, when the first protective layer is coated on the first conductive layer except for the area corresponding to the first via hole, the first protective layer can be disconnected at the first spacer, so that the first conductive layer located on the surface of the first spacer can be exposed to the frame sealing glue. Therefore, the first protective layer can protect the area outside the area corresponding to the frame sealing glue in the array substrate from the intrusion of water vapor, and the common electrode pin can be well conductive with the common electrode layer through the frame sealing glue, thereby preventing the problem of abnormal screen flickering and improving the display effect.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention provide a display panel and a display device to solve the above technical problems in the prior art.

[0046] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be understood as being limited to the embodiments described herein; on the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same figure marks in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their repeated descriptions will be omitted. The words expressing position and direction described in the present invention are all explained using the accompanying drawings as examples, but changes can be made as needed, and the changes made are all included in the scope of protection of the present invention. The drawings of the present invention are only used to illustrate the relative position relationship and do not represent the true proportions.

[0047] It should be noted that specific details are described in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in a variety of other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below. The subsequent description of the specification is a preferred embodiment of the present application, but the description is for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application shall be determined by the definition of the attached claims.

[0048] It should be understood that in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the words "first", "second", etc. are only used for the purpose of distinguishing the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, nor can they be understood as indicating or implying an order. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "plurality" refers to two or more.

[0049] The term "and / or" in the embodiments of the present invention is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0050] See also Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display panel in the related art.

[0051] The display panel comprises an array substrate 1 ′ and a color filter substrate 2 which are arranged opposite to each other, and a frame sealant 3 which is arranged between the array substrate 1 ′ and the color filter substrate 2 .

[0052] The array substrate 1' comprises: a first base substrate 11', a gate layer 12' located on one side of the first base substrate 11', the gate layer 12' comprising a common electrode pin 121' and a first signal pin 122' located in a non-display area, a gate insulating layer 13' located on a side of the gate layer 12' away from the first base substrate 11', a source-drain electrode layer 14' located on a side of the gate insulating layer 13' away from the first base substrate 11', the source-drain electrode layer 14' comprising a second signal pin 141' located in the non-display area, a planar layer 15' located on a side of the source-drain electrode layer 14' away from the first base substrate 11', a first electrode layer 16' located on a side of the planar layer 15' away from the first base substrate 11', and a first alignment layer 17' located on a side of the first electrode layer 16' away from the first base substrate 11'. The first signal pin 122' and the second signal pin 141' are located in the area between the frame sealant 3 and the display area, the first alignment layer 17' extends from the display area to the edge of the non-display area, and the transfer hole structure H' corresponding to the first signal pin 122' and the second signal pin 141' has no overlap.

[0053] The color filter substrate 2' includes: a second base substrate 21', a black matrix 22' located on the side of the second base substrate 21' facing the array substrate 1', a second conductive layer 23 located on the side of the black matrix 22' facing the array substrate 1', and a second alignment layer 24' located on the side of the second conductive layer 23 facing the array substrate 1'. The second alignment layer 24' extends from the display area to the edge of the non-display area and has no overlap with the transfer hole structure H' corresponding to the first signal pin 122' and the second signal pin 141'.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in the area where the sealant 3 is projected onto the array substrate 1', there is a common electrode pin 121'. The sealant 3 includes a matrix layer 31 and a conductive structure 32 located in the matrix layer 31. The common electrode pin 121' is electrically connected to the second electrode layer in the color filter substrate 2 through the portion at the corresponding position of the first conductive layer and the conductive structure 32.

[0055] When the reliability test of the display panel is carried out in a high temperature and high humidity environment, water vapor easily enters the interior of the display panel through the edge of the frame sealant 3, thereby causing corrosion of the via holes near the frame sealant 3. Although in the prior art, the alignment layer in the display area is extended to the non-display area on the electrode layer surfaces corresponding to the array substrate 1' and the color film substrate 2' to protect part of the area, the transfer hole structure H' near the frame sealant 3 is not coated with the alignment layer because it is close to the frame sealant 3, which makes it easy for water vapor to corrode this part of the transfer hole structure H', resulting in poor display effect of the display panel.

[0056] If the alignment layer is coated on the transfer hole structure H' close to the sealant 3, the sealant 3 will easily diffuse into the via hole corresponding to the common electrode pin 121' due to its fluidity during coating, covering the first electrode layer 16' therein (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, which is a structural schematic diagram of another display panel), this will affect the conductivity of the gold ball located in the frame sealant 3 connecting the common electrode line of the array substrate 1' and the common electrode on the color filter substrate 2 side, resulting in poor uniformity of the common electrode signal and prone to problems such as abnormal screen flickering.

[0057] In order to solve the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a display panel and a display device, which are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The conductive structure 32 can electrically connect the common electrode layer 21 to the first conductive layer 15 exposed on the surface of the first liner 14.

[0069] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, a first liner 14 having a height greater than or equal to that of the insulating layer 13 is provided in the first via hole H, so that when the first protective layer 16 is coated on the first conductive layer 15 except for the area corresponding to the first via hole H, the first protective layer 16 can be disconnected at the first liner 14, so that the first conductive layer 15 located on the surface of the first liner 14 can be exposed to the sealing glue 3, so that the first protective layer 16 can protect the area outside the area corresponding to the sealing glue 3 in the array substrate 1 from water vapor intrusion, and the common electrode pin 12 can be well conductively connected to the common electrode layer 21 through the sealing glue 3, thereby preventing the problem of abnormal screen flickering and improving the display effect.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first liner 14 is provided in the same layer and the same material as the insulating layer 13.

The first protective layer 16 covers the transfer hole H', thereby preventing water vapor from corroding the transfer hole structure H' and improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0074] Optionally, the transfer hole structure H' can be a via hole arranged in the circuit area CC in the peripheral non-display area BB, for example, it can be a via hole in the gate drive circuit, and this via hole is used to switch the gate signal line layer to the source and drain layer, and the gate signal line layer and the source and drain layer are electrically connected through the via hole and the first conductive layer 15. At this time, the first protective layer 16 covers at least a portion of the first electrode layer in the frame sealant 3 extending from the transfer hole structure H', but does not overlap with the top of the first liner 14, which can not only protect the transfer hole structure H' in the peripheral non-display area BB from water vapor erosion, etc., but also ensure that the conductive structure 32 in the frame sealant 3 can be electrically connected to the common electrode pin 12 on one side of the array substrate 1.
