[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 , the present application provides a display panel 10, the display panel 10 includes a display area AA and a non-display area NA arranged at the periphery of the display area AA, and the display panel further includes a substrate 110, a cover plate 140 and an encapsulation layer 120. The substrate 110 includes a first surface A and a second surface B, the first surface A and the second surface B are oppositely arranged; the cover plate includes a third surface C and a fourth surface D, the cover plate 120 and the substrate 110 are oppositely arranged; the encapsulation layer 120 is arranged between the substrate 110 and the cover plate 120, and is located in the non-display area NA and surrounds the display area AA; wherein a microstructure 100 is arranged on the surface of the non-display area NA of the substrate 110 or the cover plate 120, and the microstructure 100 is used for guiding light to the encapsulation layer 120.

[0049] Specifically, the display panel 10 comprises a display area AA and a non-display area NA, a light emitting unit 130 is arranged between the first surface A of the substrate 110 and the third surface C of the cover plate 140 in the display area AA, and an encapsulation layer 120 is arranged between the first surface A of the substrate 110 and the third surface C of the cover plate 140 in the non-display area NA surrounding the display area AA, the encapsulation layer 120 is arranged in the non-display area NA for isolation and protection of the light emitting unit 130 in the display area AA, to avoid external water vapor invading the light emitting unit 130. The surface of the substrate 110 and the cover plate 120 in the non-display area NA is provided with a microstructure 100, the microstructure 100 is used for adjusting the light path of the laser, and the light of the laser beside the encapsulation layer 120 can be guided to the encapsulation layer 120 by reflection or refraction, which helps to improve the utilization rate of the laser, improve the sintering effect of the laser on the encapsulation layer 120, and further improve the packaging strength of the encapsulation layer 120.

[0050] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The microstructure 100 comprises a first microstructure 111, and the first microstructure 111 is arranged on the first surface A.

[0051] Specifically, the first microstructure 111 is arranged on the first surface A, and the light of the laser transmitted from the cover plate 140 is guided to the encapsulation layer 120 by the first microstructure 111 in a reflective manner, so as to improve the sintering effect of the laser on the encapsulation layer 120, and further improve the packaging strength of the encapsulation layer 120.

[0052] In an embodiment, the first microstructure 111 is arranged on the first surface A and the second surface B. By arranging the first microstructure 111 on both surfaces of the substrate, the utilization of the light of the laser on both sides of the encapsulation layer 120 can be further enhanced, and the sintering effect of the laser on the encapsulation layer 120 is further improved.

[0053] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first microstructure 111 can also be selected not to be arranged on the second surface B.

[0054] In an embodiment, the first microstructure 111 is arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 120 away from the display area AA, which can reduce the influence of the light guide of the first microstructure 111 on the display area AA, and at the same time, when water vapor invades from the outside, the water vapor needs to pass through the encapsulation layer 120 to erode the light-emitting unit 130, and the sintering effect of the laser on the side of the encapsulation layer 120 away from the display area AA can be improved through the first microstructure 111, thereby improving the encapsulation strength of the side of the encapsulation layer 120 away from the display area AA. In an embodiment, the first microstructure 111 is further arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 120 close to the display area AA, that is, the first microstructure 111 is arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 120 away from the display area AA and on the side of the encapsulation layer 120 close to the display area AA. Specifically, since the spot diameter of the laser is larger than the width of the encapsulation layer 120, when the laser sintering the encapsulation layer 120, part of the laser will be transmitted from both sides of the encapsulation layer 120 in addition to sintering the encapsulation layer 120, so the first microstructure 111 can also be arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 120 close to the display area AA, and the laser on the side close to the display area AA is also utilized, and the laser is guided to the encapsulation layer 120 through reflection, thereby improving the encapsulation strength.

[0055] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first microstructure 111 is not arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 120 close to the display area AA, and the first microstructure 111 is only arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 120 away from the display area AA, and the laser can be offset to the side away from the display area AA, reducing the irradiation of the laser on the region between the encapsulation layer 120 and the light-emitting unit 130, which can reduce the display frame.

[0056] In an embodiment, the material of the encapsulation layer 120 includes Frit (glass powder) material. It should be noted that the material of the encapsulation layer 120 is not limited in the present application, and in other embodiments, the material of the encapsulation layer 120 can also be other materials, which are not limited herein.

[0057] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the first microstructure 111 includes at least one first groove G1 formed on the first surface A.

[0058] Specifically, the inner concave surface of the first groove G1 can reflect and guide the light of the laser to the encapsulation layer 120, and the number of the first grooves G1 can be 1, 5, or 10, etc. The first grooves G1 can be formed by etching or cold carving, etc.

[0059] In an embodiment, the groove wall of the first groove G1 is provided with a reflective coating. The material of the reflective coating can be a metal material, and the reflective coating can enhance the reflection effect of the first groove G1 and reduce the light transmitted from the first groove G1.

[0060] In an embodiment, asFigure 3 As shown, the first groove G1 is an arc-shaped groove. Of course, the first groove G1 can also be a groove of other shapes, for example, the groove wall of the first groove G1 is a plane.

[0061] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first microstructure 111 can also be a convex microstructure formed on the first surface A.

[0062] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the cross section of the first groove G1 parallel to the substrate 110 is circular. The circular groove has a good light guiding effect and can improve the utilization rate of the laser.

[0063] Of course, in some other embodiments, the cross section of the first groove G1 parallel to the substrate 110 can also be of other shapes, for example, rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal, etc.

[0064] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the number of the first grooves G1 is multiple. The multiple first grooves G1 extend from the vicinity of the packaging layer 120 to the direction away from the packaging layer 120 within the coverage range of the laser spot. The more the number of the first grooves G1, the higher the utilization rate of the light. The number of the first grooves G1 can be 2, 4, or 10, etc., which is not limited in the present application.

[0065] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the multiple first grooves G1 are arranged in an array on the first surface A. The array-arranged first grooves G1 can make the adjustment of the laser light easier than the non-array-arranged first grooves G1.

[0066] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the multiple first grooves G1 are uniformly distributed on the first surface A. The uniformly distributed first grooves G1 can make the sintering effect of the laser on the packaging layer 120 the same, ensuring the overall uniformity of the packaging effect of the packaging layer 120.

[0067] Of course, in some other embodiments, the multiple first grooves G1 are randomly arranged on the first surface A. Compared with the above-mentioned array distribution and uniform distribution, the preparation of the randomly arranged first grooves G1 is simpler, and the packaging strength can also be improved.

[0068] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the multiple first grooves G1 are arranged around the packaging layer 120.

[0069] Specifically, the encapsulation layer 120 is arranged around the display area AA for sealing the entire display area AA, and the plurality of first grooves G1 are also arranged around the encapsulation layer 120 to ensure that the entire encapsulation layer 120 is subjected to the light guiding effect of the first microstructure 111, thereby improving the encapsulation strength of the entire encapsulation layer 120. It should be noted that Figure 5 The first grooves G1 are only shown in the non-display area NA on the side of the encapsulation layer 120 away from the display area AA, but the first grooves G1 can also be located in the non-display area NA between the encapsulation layer 120 and the display area AA, which is not limited in the present application.

[0070] Of course, in some other embodiments, the plurality of first grooves G1 can also be arranged only in part of the encapsulation layer 120, for example, to strengthen the encapsulation effect in the area where the encapsulation effect is weak.

[0071] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 5 The encapsulation layer 120 includes a straight encapsulation part 121 and a corner encapsulation part 122, and the arrangement density of the first grooves G1 adjacent to the corner encapsulation part 122 is greater than that of the first grooves G1 adjacent to the straight encapsulation part 121.

[0072] Specifically, the corner encapsulation part 122 is located in the transition area between two adjacent straight encapsulation parts 121, and since the straight encapsulation part 121 is linear, the corner encapsulation part 122 is arc-shaped. Compared with the straight encapsulation part 121, the corner encapsulation part 122 has a higher requirement for encapsulation strength, and therefore, arranging more first grooves G1 in the corner encapsulation part 122 can improve the encapsulation strength of the corner encapsulation part 122.

[0073] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The maximum distance between the orthographic projection of the microstructure 100 on the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the encapsulation layer 120 on the substrate 110 is less than or equal to a distance threshold.

[0074] Specifically, the spot diameter of the laser is generally 0.8 mm, 1 mm, etc., and therefore, the maximum distance (i.e., W in the figure) between the microstructure 100 and the encapsulation layer 120 can exceed the area covered by the laser spot, so the distance threshold is related to the size of the spot of the laser used.

[0075] In an embodiment, the distance threshold is in the range of 500 μm to 1000 μm. The distance threshold can be 500 μm, 800 μm, or 1000 μm, etc., which can ensure that the current laser irradiation can meet the light adjustment needs of the microstructure 100.

[0076] In an embodiment, the material of the substrate 110 includes glass. Of course, the material of the substrate 110 can also be a flexible substrate, such as polyimide, etc.

[0077] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The microstructure 100 comprises a second microstructure 141 disposed on the fourth surface D.

[0078] Specifically, the second microstructure 141 disposed on the fourth surface D can directly guide the light of the laser, and the second microstructure 141 can refract part of the light directly onto the packaging layer 120, or first refract the light onto the first microstructure 111 and then guide the light to the packaging layer 120 through the first microstructure 111. The second microstructure 141 can be disposed on the side of the packaging layer 120 close to the light-emitting unit 130, or on the side of the packaging layer 120 away from the light-emitting unit 130, or partially on the side of the packaging layer 120 close to the light-emitting unit 130 and partially on the side of the packaging layer 120 away from the light-emitting unit 130, which is not limited herein.

[0079] Of course, in some other embodiments, the second microstructure 141 can not be disposed.

[0080] In an embodiment, the second microstructure 141 is the same as the first microstructure 111, which can facilitate the preparation and improve the preparation efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the second microstructure 141 can be different from the first microstructure 111.

[0081] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The second microstructure 141 comprises at least one second groove G2 formed on the fourth surface D.

[0082] Specifically, the concave surface of the second groove G2 can refract and guide the light of the laser to the packaging layer 120, and the number of the second groove G2 can be 1, 5, or 10, etc. The second groove G2 can be formed by etching or cold carving, etc.

[0083] In an embodiment, the second groove G2 is an arc-shaped groove. Of course, the second groove G2 can also be a groove with other shapes, for example, the groove wall of the second groove G2 is a plane.

[0084] Of course, in some other embodiments, the second microstructure 141 can also be a convex microstructure formed on the fourth surface D.

[0085] In an embodiment, the cross section of the second groove G2 parallel to the substrate 110 is circular. The circular groove has good light guiding effect and can improve the utilization rate of the laser.

[0086] Of course, in some other embodiments, the cross section of the second groove G2 parallel to the substrate 110 can also be other shapes, for example, it can be rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal, etc.

[0087] In an embodiment, the second grooves G2 are multiple in number. The multiple second grooves G2 are arranged in an array on the fourth surface D. The arrayed second grooves G2 can make it easier to adjust the laser light.

[0088] In an embodiment, the multiple second grooves G2 are arranged in an array on the fourth surface D. The arrayed second grooves G2 can make it easier to adjust the laser light.

[0089] In an embodiment, the multiple second grooves G2 are arranged in an array on the fourth surface D. The arrayed second grooves G2 can make it easier to adjust the laser light.

[0090] In some other embodiments, the multiple second grooves G2 are arranged randomly on the fourth surface D. Compared with the above-mentioned arrayed and uniformly distributed second grooves G2, the randomly arranged second grooves G2 are easier to prepare and can improve the packaging strength.

[0091] In an embodiment, the material of the cover plate 140 includes glass.

[0092] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the microstructure 100 includes a third microstructure 142 arranged on the third surface C.

[0093] Specifically, the third microstructure 142 receives the light transmitted from the fourth surface D of the cover plate 140 and further guides the light. The third microstructure 142 can refract part of the light directly onto the packaging layer 120, or first refract the light onto the first microstructure 111 and then guide the light to the packaging layer 120 through the first microstructure 111. The third microstructure 142 can be arranged on the side of the packaging layer 120 close to the light-emitting unit 130, or on the side of the packaging layer 120 away from the light-emitting unit 130, or partially on the side of the packaging layer 120 close to the light-emitting unit 130 and partially on the side of the packaging layer 120 away from the light-emitting unit 130, which is not limited herein.

[0094] In some other embodiments, the third microstructure 142 can also not be arranged.

[0095] In an embodiment, the third microstructure 142 is the same as the first microstructure 111, which can facilitate the preparation and improve the preparation efficiency. In other embodiments, the third microstructure 142 can also be different from the first microstructure 111.

[0096] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the third microstructure 142 comprises at least one third groove G3 formed on the third surface C.

[0097] Specifically, the concave surface of the third groove G3 can refract and guide the laser light to the packaging layer 120, and the number of the third groove G3 can be 1, 5, or 10, etc. The third groove G3 can be formed by etching or cold carving, etc.

[0098] In an embodiment, the third groove G3 is an arc-shaped groove. Of course, the third groove G3 can also be a groove with other shapes, for example, the groove wall of the third groove G3 is a plane.

[0101] Of course, in some other embodiments, the cross section of the third groove G3 parallel to the substrate 110 can also be other shapes, for example, it can be rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal, etc.

[0102] In an embodiment, the number of the third groove G3 is multiple. The multiple third grooves G3 extend from the vicinity of the packaging layer 120 to the direction away from the packaging layer 120, and are within the coverage range of the laser spot. The more the number of the third grooves G3, the higher the utilization rate of the light. The number of the third grooves G3 can be 2, 4, or 10, etc., which is not limited in the present application.

[0103] In an embodiment, the multiple third grooves G3 are arranged in an array on the third surface C. The third grooves G3 arranged in an array can make the adjustment of the laser light easier than the third grooves G3 not arranged in an array.

[0104] In an embodiment, the multiple third grooves G3 are uniformly distributed on the third surface C. The uniformly distributed second grooves G2 can make the sintering effect of the laser on the packaging layer 120 the same, ensuring the overall uniformity of the packaging effect of the packaging layer 120.

[0105] Of course, in some other embodiments, the multiple third grooves G3 are randomly arranged on the third surface C. Compared with the above-mentioned array distribution and uniform distribution, the third grooves G3 arranged randomly are simpler to prepare and can also improve the packaging strength to a certain extent.

[0106] In an embodiment, in combination withFigure 3 The normal projection of the second microstructure 141 on the substrate 110 covers the normal projection of the first microstructure 111 on the substrate 110, i.e. the width of the second microstructure 141 is greater than the width of the first microstructure 111. In this way, it can be ensured that each position of the first microstructure 111 can receive the light refracted from the second microstructure 141.

In this way, it can be ensured that each position of the first microstructure 111 can receive the light refracted from the third microstructure 142.
