[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0055] Liquid crystal display (LCD) panels are generally assembled from an array substrate and a color filter substrate. In related technologies, a specific sized spacer material is incorporated into the sealing adhesive to support the sealing gap, making the structure of the TFT substrate and color filter substrate more stable. To prevent edge deformation caused by compression of the color filter or TFT substrate, the thickness of the substrates on both sides of the sealing area must be consistent to ensure equal spacing and uniform stress. However, as users increasingly demand narrower bezels in display devices, the available area for the sealing area is shrinking. With limited usable width, some circuits within the sealing area require double-layer or multi-layer circuit structures for routing. To save material costs and maintain a thinner display panel, single-layer and double-layer circuit structures often coexist in the sealing area, resulting in inconsistent thickness across the sealing region.

[0056] The inventors discovered that it is these sealing frame areas with inconsistent thicknesses that cause the sealing frame gaps to vary in size. This results in different levels of support and compression from the spacer material on both sides of the substrate. The uneven stress causes deformation at the edges of the color filter substrate or TFT substrate, which can easily lead to display problems such as uneven light emission and yellowing in local areas of the display area.

[0057] To improve this phenomenon, this application proposes a display panel and a display device, which aims to reduce the stress difference caused by the thickness difference of different frame areas in the display panel by using two support particles of different sizes, so that the first substrate and the second substrate are subjected to balanced forces in the frame area, reducing or avoiding deformation of the first substrate or the second substrate, thereby reducing or avoiding problems such as uneven light emission and yellowing in the display area adjacent to the frame area.

[0058] The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a planar area of ​​a display panel according to one embodiment of this application is shown. (Refer to...) Figure 2 , Figure 2 A cross-sectional structural diagram of a display panel according to one embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a display panel, including: a display area 100 and a frame area 200 surrounding the display area 100.

[0060] In the embodiments of this application, an LCD display panel is used as a reference, and the display panel may be a liquid crystal cell.

[0061] The display panel includes: a first substrate 201 and a second substrate 202 disposed in a box, and a sealing adhesive.

[0062] The first substrate 201 can be a TFT substrate, and the second substrate 202 can be a color filter substrate.

[0063] The sealing adhesive is located in the sealing area 200 and is bonded between the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202.

[0064] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 A cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of another display panel according to one embodiment provided in this application is shown. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the display panel can be divided based on a plane parallel to the display surface, including a display area 100 and a non-display area surrounding the display area 100. The non-display area may include a transition area and a frame area 200 surrounding the transition area. That is, a fluid-state frame adhesive is applied around the edge of either the first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202, and cured to obtain a solid or semi-solid frame adhesive, thereby sealing the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate to achieve cell sealing of the liquid crystal cell.

[0065] The frame area can be located at the outer edge of the non-display area of ​​the display panel, thus leaving a transition area between the frame area and the display area. Due to the process error in the extrusion of the sealing glue during the box sealing process, the glue width has a certain error range. The transition area can reserve space for the glue to overflow, avoiding the glue overflowing from the frame area and thus avoiding affecting the display effect of the display area.

[0066] The sealing adhesive includes an adhesive and a plurality of support particles dispersed in the adhesive, each support particle being supported between the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202.

[0067] In this application, support refers to contact with the supported objects on both sides respectively. This application does not limit the interaction stress between the supported objects. That is, the compressive stress between the support particles and the first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202 can be greater than 0 or equal to 0.

[0068] The supporting particles include: a first particle 210 and a second particle 220.

[0069] The particle size of the first particle 210 is larger than that of the second particle 220.

[0070] In the embodiments of this application, the support particles can take various shapes. In order to facilitate stable support and make it easier to calculate the size of the raw materials to be processed, the support particles can be ellipsoids or spheres.

[0071] The first particle 210 or the second particle 220 may each include two or more shapes.

[0072] For example, the first particle 210 may include an ellipsoid and a sphere, the second particle 220 may include an ellipsoid and a sphere, and the particle sizes of the first particle 210 and the second particle 220 may not be equal.

[0073] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, particle size refers to the maximum diameter of the particle. For example, the particle size of an ellipsoid is equal to the length of its major central axis.

[0074] This application takes into account that the thickness of the first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202 is not uniform everywhere. For example, in non-display areas, some areas may have more layers and a larger thickness than areas with fewer layers. This results in a difference in the size of the gap between the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202 for encapsulation. Consequently, the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202 are subjected to different compressive stresses from the supporting particles during the encapsulation process in the encapsulation area 200. This can easily lead to problems such as yellowing and uneven light emission in the nearby display area 100.

[0075] In view of this, the embodiments of this application provide first particles 210 and second particles 220 of unequal sizes. Larger particle sizes can support areas with larger sealing gaps, while both types of support particles can jointly support areas with smaller sealing gaps. Compared to a frame with only a single type of support particle, this effectively reduces the number of larger particle sizes. The first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202 reduces the compressive stress that compresses the support particles during manufacturing. Since forces are mutual, this reduces the reverse compression of the support particles on the first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202. Compressive stress, for example, the first substrate 201 has a greater thickness in the area where the double-layer metal is set compared to the area where the single-layer metal is set, and has a smaller sealing gap. This can more effectively reduce the reverse compressive stress of the support particles on the first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202 in the sealing frame area 200 with a smaller sealing gap, and achieve stress balance. This avoids the substrate from being deformed by compression in the area where the double-layer metal is set. By ensuring the flatness of the second substrate 202, the structural stability of the display panel can be improved, and display problems such as uneven light emission and yellowing can be prevented in the display area 100 adjacent to the area where the double-layer metal is set.

[0076] Through the above embodiments, this application can utilize two types of support particles of unequal size to reduce the stress difference caused by the thickness difference of different frame areas 200 in the display panel, so that the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202 are subjected to balanced forces in the frame area 200, reducing or avoiding deformation of the first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202, thereby reducing or avoiding problems such as uneven light emission and yellowing in the display area 100 adjacent to the frame area.

[0077] This application provides at least two types of support particles with different shapes or sizes, including a first particle 210 and a second particle 220, which can reduce and balance stress in the frame region 200 where the frame gap is not uniform. Since the support particles have at least two shapes, stress balance can be achieved in the frame region 200 with two different frame gaps, making the frame gap match the thickness of the first substrate 201, thereby ensuring the flatness of the second substrate 202. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, this application also provides a display panel, wherein the first substrate 201 includes a first segment 300 and a second segment 400 in the frame region 200, and the first thickness of the first segment 300 is less than the second thickness of the second segment 400.

[0078] The first distance between the first segment 300 and the second substrate 202 is greater than the second distance between the second segment 400 and the second substrate 202.

[0079] The difference between the first thickness and the second thickness is equal to the difference between the first distance and the second distance.

[0080] The first substrate 201 may have circuitry disposed in the frame region 200 to realize the display driving function of the substrate. To protect the circuitry, the circuitry may be disposed between the substrate and the second substrate 202. In the display panel, when the first substrate 201 includes both a substrate and circuitry in the frame region 200, if the circuitry is disposed between the substrate and the second substrate 202, the distance difference between the first distance and the second distance may be equal to the thickness difference between the first thickness and the second thickness.

[0081] For example, when the number of circuit layers in the first section 300 is small and the first thickness is 100μm, and the number of circuit layers in the second section 400 is large and the second thickness is 100.2μm, then the first distance is 3.3μm and the second distance is 3.1μm, so as to ensure the flatness of the second substrate 202 and avoid problems such as uneven light emission and yellowing caused by substrate deformation.

[0082] Accordingly, the difference between the first distance and the second distance can be determined based on the difference between the second thickness and the first thickness.

[0083] Furthermore, in order to achieve rich functional design, reduce the overall thickness of the display panel, and save material costs, it is considered to set a single-layer circuit in the first section 300 and a double-layer circuit in the second section 400. To this end, in an optional embodiment, this application also provides a first substrate 201, wherein the first section 300 includes: a substrate and a first metal layer located between the substrate and the second substrate 202.

[0084] The second section 400 includes: a substrate, a first metal layer between the substrate and the second substrate 202, and a second metal layer located on the side of the first metal layer away from the substrate.

[0085] In this embodiment, the supporting particles can be obtained by extruding the original particles using a first substrate 201 and a second substrate 202 during the cassette assembly process. Specifically, this may include a first original particle and a second original particle.

[0086] To facilitate the manufacturing of the display panel, the first particle 210 is considered to be made of a material with elasticity or plasticity. The first particle 210 is obtained by compressing the first original spherical particle during the assembly process. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, this application also provides a first substrate 201, wherein the first particle comprises: a first material;

[0087] The ratio between the second distance and the first distance is greater than the maximum compression ratio of the first material.

[0088] For example, assuming the first distance is 3.3 μm, the second distance is 3.1 μm, and the maximum compression ratio of the first material is 90%, the ratio between the second distance and the first distance is 0.939, which is greater than the maximum compression ratio of the first material. During the encapsulation process, assuming no compression occurs between the first section and the second substrate, to achieve the corresponding second distance between the second section and the second substrate and maintain the overall thickness flatness of the display panel edge, the first original particles need to be compressed between the second section and the second substrate. The resulting first particles, as long as their compression ratio is also less than the maximum compression ratio of their material, can achieve processing and manufacturing that conforms to the material properties.

[0089] Accordingly, the ratio between the first distance and the second distance can be determined based on the maximum compression ratio of the first material of the first particle 210.

[0090] Through the above embodiments, the first particle 210 can be obtained by compressing the first original particle of the sphere during the assembly process. Since the first particle 210 supports the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202, considering the most extreme case, assuming that the first original particle between the first section 300 and the second substrate 202 is not compressed, but the first original particle between the second section 400 and the second substrate 202 is compressed, the ratio between the short central axis of the first ellipsoid 251 and the diameter of the first sphere 261, i.e. the compression ratio of the first original particle, is less than the maximum compression ratio of the first material. This makes the processing conform to the material characteristics of the first particle 210, which facilitates the manufacturing process and maintains the structural stability of the display panel.

[0091] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 A cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of another display panel according to one embodiment provided in this application is shown. For example... Figure 2 and 3As shown in the embodiments of this application, the first particle 210 and the second particle 220 can be set as two spherical particles of different sizes. In the process of sealing the box with the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202, the first particle 210 can be made from the first original particle, and the second particle 220 can be made from the second original particle. The diameter of the first original particle is larger than that of the second original particle. Because the particle size of the first original particle is larger than that of the second original particle, it has compression priority during the box extrusion process. Therefore, it can be compressed into a first ellipsoid 251 between the second section 300 and the second substrate 202. Furthermore, because the first distance between the first section 300 and the second substrate 202 is large, it can remain spherical without compression deformation. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, this application also provides a display panel, wherein the first particle 210 includes: a first ellipsoid 251 and a first sphere 261.

[0092] The first ellipsoid 251 is supported between the second section 400 and the second substrate 202, and the first sphere 261 is supported between the first section 300 and the second substrate 202.

[0093] The short central axis of the first ellipsoid 251 is perpendicular to the plane containing the first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202.

[0094] Since the first ellipsoid 251 is obtained by compressing and deforming the first original particle, only the physical shape changes. It has the same physical characteristics as the first sphere 261. Therefore, the sum of the lengths of the short central axis and the long central axis of the first ellipsoid 251 is equal to twice the diameter of the first sphere 261.

[0095] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, by adjusting the particle size, pressure, and compression ratio of the first and second original particles, the second original particles between the second segment 400 and the second substrate 202 can be prevented from being squeezed during the assembly process, thus avoiding compression deformation. Consequently, spherical second particles 220 are obtained between the second segment 400 and the second substrate 202. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, this application also provides a display panel in which the sealing adhesive bonded between the first segment 300 and the second substrate 202 further includes second spheres 262 dispersed in the adhesive.

[0096] The second particle 220 includes: a third sphere 262.

[0097] The second sphere 262 contacts at most one of the first segment 300 and the second substrate 202.

[0098] The third sphere 262 is supported between the second section 400 and the second substrate 202.

[0099] The diameter of the second sphere 262 is equal to the diameter of the third sphere 262.

[0100] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 A cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of another display panel according to one embodiment of this application is shown. (Refer to...) Figure 5 , Figure 5 A cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of another display panel according to one embodiment provided in this application is shown. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, by adjusting the particle size, pressure, and compression ratio of the first and second original particles, the first original particles between the first section 300 and the second substrate 202 can be compressed and deformed during the casing process, resulting in an ellipsoidal first particle 210 between the second section 400 and the second substrate 202. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, this application also provides a display panel, wherein the first particle 210 includes a first ellipsoid 251 and a second ellipsoid 252.

[0101] The first ellipsoid 251 is supported between the first section 300 and the second substrate 202, and the second ellipsoid 252 is supported between the second section 400 and the second substrate 202.

[0102] The short central axis of the first ellipsoid 251 and the short central axis of the second ellipsoid 252 are perpendicular to the plane containing the first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202.

[0103] The sum of the lengths of the short central axis and the long central axis of the first ellipsoid 251 is equal to the sum of the lengths of the short central axis and the long central axis of the second ellipsoid 252.

[0104] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, by adjusting the particle size, pressure, and compression ratio of the first and second original particles, the second original particles between the first segment 300 and the second substrate 202 can be compressed and deformed during the assembly process, resulting in ellipsoidal second particles 220 between the second segment 400 and the second substrate 202. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, this application also provides a display panel, wherein the sealing adhesive bonded between the first segment 300 and the second substrate 202 further includes second spheres 262 dispersed in the adhesive.

[0105] The second sphere 262 can be obtained from the second original particle.

[0106] The second particle 220 includes: a third ellipsoid 253.

[0107] The second sphere 262 contacts at most one of the first segment 300 and the second substrate 202.

[0108] The third ellipsoid 253 is supported between the second section 400 and the second substrate 202.

[0109] Among them, the sum of the lengths of the short central axis and the long central axis of the third ellipsoid 253 is equal to twice the diameter of the second sphere 262.

[0110] In one optional implementation, the particle size of the first initial particle can be determined based on a first distance and a preset compression ratio. Specifically, if the first initial particle is a sphere, its diameter can be equal to the ratio of the first distance to the preset compression ratio.

[0111] The preset compression ratio can be less than or equal to the compression ratio of the first material.

[0112] For example, assuming the first distance is 3.3 μm, the preset compression ratio can be 90%, and the diameter of the first original particle can be 3.3 / 90% = 3.67 μm.

[0113] Furthermore, in one optional embodiment, the particle size of the second primary particle can be determined based on the particle size of the first primary particle and the difference between the first distance and the second distance. Specifically, when both the first and second primary particles are spheres, the diameter of the second primary particle can be equal to the diameter of the first primary particle minus the difference between the first distance and the second distance.

[0114] For example, assuming the first distance is 3.3 μm, the second distance is 3.1 μm, and the diameter of the first original particle is 3.7 μm, then the diameter of the second original particle can be 3.5 μm.

[0115] This application can also set the number of original particles according to the area ratio of the segments, which can be reflected in the distribution of the number of supporting particles. To this end, in an optional embodiment, this application also provides a display panel, wherein the ratio between the number of first particles 210 and the number of second particles 220 is equal to the product of the ratio between the area of ​​the first segment 300 and the area of ​​the second segment 400 and a first preset coefficient.

[0116] The first particle 210 has a larger particle size, making it more suitable for supporting areas with larger frame gaps. The frame gap of the first section 300 is a first distance, which is greater than the frame gap of the second section 400. When the area of ​​the first section 300 is larger, more first particles 210 can be considered compared to the number of second particles 220.

[0117] For example, the area ratio between the first segment 300 and the second segment 400 can be 1:1, and when the first preset coefficient is set to 1, the quantity ratio of the first particle 210 and the second particle 220 can be 1:1.

[0118] In this embodiment of the application, whether in the same segment of the first segment 300 or the second segment 400, the first compressive stress between the first particle 210 and the first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202 is greater than the second compressive stress between the second particle 220 and the first substrate 201 or the second substrate 202.

[0119] Considering the increasingly complex functional requirements of display panels, in order to maintain a narrow bezel display, more circuit layers may be set in some areas, resulting in a thicker third segment. Therefore, in one optional embodiment, this application also provides a display panel in which the first substrate 201 further includes a third segment in the frame region 200; the third segment has a third thickness greater than the second thickness.

[0120] The third distance between the third segment and the second substrate 202 is less than the second distance between the second segment 400 and the second substrate 202.

[0121] The difference between the third thickness and the second thickness is equal to the difference between the second distance and the third distance.

[0122] The sealing adhesive also includes: third particles dispersed in the adhesive.

[0123] The particle size of the third particle is smaller than that of the first particle 210 or the second particle 220.

[0124] Through the above embodiments, for more areas with different thicknesses in the frame area 200, a third particle with an additional particle size can be added to achieve a better stress balance effect and reduce display problems such as uneven light emission and yellowing in the display area 100.

[0125] Considering that the first particle 210 plays a major supporting role, support needs to be provided in various sections of the frame area 200. Since the first particle 210 is obtained by compressing a first original particle, it needs to have a stronger compressive deformation capacity compared to the second original particle used to make the second particle 220. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, this application also provides a display panel, wherein the first particle 210 comprises a first material, and the second particle 220 comprises a second material.

[0126] The maximum compression ratio of the first material is greater than that of the second material.

[0127] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the material of the first particle 210 includes resin. The material of the second particle 220 includes silicon dioxide.

[0128] Specifically, the material of the first particle 210 can be epoxy resin or polyester resin, and the material of the second particle 220 can be silica gel or plexiglass.
