[0050] With the continuous development of display technology, people's demands for the form of display devices are becoming more and more diverse. Therefore, stretchable display panels have also become a pursuit of people. The stretchable display panel in the related art includes a pixel part and a stretching part connected between the display units. When the stretchable display panel is stretched, the stretching part can produce adaptive deformation. However, the light-emitting area of ​​the pixel part does not change, resulting in a decrease in the display quality of the stretchable display panel.

[0051] In view of the above problems, the present application proposes a stretchable display panel, aiming to improve the display effect of the stretchable display panel.

[0052] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0053] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The present invention provides a stretchable display panel 100 having a light emitting surface. The stretchable display panel 100 includes a driving substrate 10, a pixel definition layer 20, a light emitting element 30 and a dielectric layer 40.

[0054] The driving substrate 10 is used to drive the light-emitting element 30 to emit light. In a specific embodiment, the driving substrate 10 generally includes a substrate (not shown) and a circuit layer (not shown) that are stacked. The pixel definition layer 20 is arranged on one side of the driving substrate 10, and the pixel definition layer 20 has a plurality of openings 21. The light-emitting element 30 is arranged in the opening 21. The pixel definition layer 20 has a plurality of openings 21, so there are a plurality of light-emitting elements 30, and each light-emitting element 30 corresponds to a pixel of a color. In a specific embodiment, the light-emitting element 30 includes a red light-emitting element 30, a green light-emitting element 30, and a blue light-emitting element 30. The light-emitting surface is a surface of the light-emitting element 30 away from the driving substrate 10. The dielectric layer 40 is arranged on the side of the light-emitting element 30 away from the driving substrate 10; wherein the dielectric layer 40 includes a first dielectric layer 41, a second dielectric layer 42, a third dielectric layer 43 and a fourth dielectric layer 44.

[0055] The first dielectric layer 41 is disposed on the side of the light emitting element 30 away from the driving substrate 10, and the surface of the first dielectric layer 41 on the side away from the light emitting element 30 has a groove 411. Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the groove 411 is semi-elliptical, and the cross-sectional shape of the side wall surface of the groove 411 is arc-shaped. The second dielectric layer 42 is disposed on the side of the first dielectric layer 41 away from the driving substrate 10, and part of the second dielectric layer 42 is disposed in the groove 411; the projection of the groove 411 on the driving substrate 10 is located within the projection of the light emitting element 30 on the driving substrate 10. The third dielectric layer 43 is disposed on the side of the second dielectric layer 42 away from the driving substrate 10, and the third dielectric layer 43 has a protrusion 431 protruding from the side of the second dielectric layer 42 away from the driving substrate 10, and the projection of the protrusion 431 on the driving substrate 10 is located within the projection of the light emitting element 30 on the driving substrate 10. Specifically, the surface of the side of the protrusion 431 away from the second dielectric layer 42 is an arc surface. The fourth dielectric layer 44 is disposed on a side of the third dielectric layer 43 away from the driving substrate 10 , and the fourth dielectric layer 44 covers the third dielectric layer 43 .

[0056] In a specific embodiment, the second dielectric layer 42 and the third dielectric layer 43 are both made of materials with Pockels effect, which refers to the birefringence effect of light produced by an optical medium under a constant or alternating electric field; or, the second dielectric layer 42 and the third dielectric layer 43 are both made of materials with Kerr effect, which refers to the phenomenon of electrically induced birefringence that is proportional to the square of the electric field. A substance placed in an electric field is oriented (deflected) by its molecules under the action of electric force, and exhibits anisotropy, resulting in birefringence, that is, the refractive ability of the substance to light is different along two different directions. It can be understood that the materials of the second dielectric layer 42 and the third dielectric layer 43 are materials with variable refractive index. Specifically, the materials of the second dielectric layer 42 and the third dielectric layer 43 include at least one of lithium niobate (LiNbO3), lithium tantalate (LiTO3), barium borate (BBO) and gallium arsenide (GaAs), or other non-centrosymmetric materials. Among them, non-centrosymmetric materials include natural polymers such as carnauba wax, polypeptides, polysaccharides, hard rubber and synthetic polymers such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, polypropylene, and copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoropropylene.

[0058] The stretchable display panel 100 controls the dielectric layer 40 by controlling the electrode layer 50, so that the control electrode layer 50 controls the refractive index of the dielectric layer 40; when the stretchable display panel 100 is not stretched, the light is collimated and the light extraction rate is improved; when stretched, the light is further scattered and the area coverage of the emitted light is increased, thereby improving the display effect after stretching, thereby improving the display quality of the stretchable display panel 100.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, the light emitting element 30 includes an anode electrode 31, a light emitting layer 32 and a cathode electrode 33. The anode electrode 31 is arranged on one side of the driving substrate 10. The light emitting layer 32 is arranged on the side of the anode electrode 31 away from the driving substrate 10. The cathode electrode 33 is arranged on the side of the light emitting layer 32 away from the driving substrate 10. The projection of the light emitting layer 32 on the driving substrate 10 is located within the projection of the entire second dielectric layer 42 and the entire third dielectric layer 43 on the driving substrate 10. The anode electrode 31 and the cathode electrode 33 are used to control the light emitting layer 32 to emit light. Among them, the cathode electrode 33 layer is made of transparent materials, such as ITO (indium tin oxide), etc., to reduce the blocking of the light emitted by the light emitting layer 32. The material of the anode electrode 31 includes but is not limited to metal materials such as aluminum, gold, silver, and aluminum-magnesium alloy.

[0060] Continue reading Figure 1 , the control electrode layer 50 includes a first electrode 51, a second electrode 52 and a third electrode 53. The three electrodes are connected to different signal inputs. The first electrode 51 is arranged between the first dielectric layer 41 and the second dielectric layer 42. The second electrode 52 is arranged between the second dielectric layer 42 and the third dielectric layer 43. The third electrode 53 is arranged between the third dielectric layer 43 and the fourth dielectric layer 44. Among them, the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 are used to control the refractive index of the second dielectric layer 42, and the second electrode 52 and the third electrode 53 are used to control the refractive index of the third dielectric layer 43.

[0061] Further, the second dielectric layer 42 includes a recessed portion 421 and a first extension portion 422. The recessed portion 421 is a portion of the second dielectric layer 42 disposed in the groove 411, and the surface of the recessed portion 421 on one side close to the drive substrate 10 is an arc surface. The first extension portion 422 is the remaining portion of the second dielectric layer 42 after removing the recessed portion 421. The third dielectric layer 43 includes a protruding portion 431 and a second extension portion 432; wherein the protruding portion 431 is a portion of the third dielectric layer 43 protruding from the side of the second dielectric layer 42 away from the drive substrate 10, and the projection of the protruding portion 431 on the drive substrate 10 is located within the projection of the light emitting element 30 on the drive substrate 10. The second extension portion 432 is the remaining portion of the third dielectric layer 43 after removing the protruding portion 431. The projection of the recessed portion 421 on the drive substrate 10 is located within the projection of the light emitting layer 32 on the drive substrate 10. The projection of the protruding portion 431 on the drive substrate 10 is located within the projection of the light emitting layer 32 on the drive substrate 10. The first extension portion 422 and the second extension portion 432 are used for stretching.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 may be in direct contact, or the first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 may not be in direct contact, and the first dielectric layer 41 separates the first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 from each other. It can be understood that the first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 may be shared. The first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 are in direct contact, that is, the first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 are shared, which can reduce the process flow, reduce the process difficulty, and improve the preparation yield. The first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 are not in direct contact, that is, the first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 are not shared, and the first dielectric layer 41 separates the first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 from each other, which can avoid the first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 from being connected together, and the separation can reduce interference between each other. Figure 1 , the first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 are not in direct contact, and the first dielectric layer 41 separates the first electrode 51 and the cathode electrode 33 from each other. Figure 2 , Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structural cross section of a stretchable display panel in which the first electrode is in direct contact with the cathode electrode.

[0063] Further reading Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 3Schematic diagram of light emission of the stretchable display panel in the non-stretched display state. When the stretchable display panel 100 is in the non-stretched display state, the control electrode layer 50 controls the refractive index of the second dielectric layer 42 to be greater than the refractive index of the first dielectric layer 41, and controls the refractive index of the third dielectric layer 43 to be equal to the refractive index of the first dielectric layer 41, so that the light of the light-emitting element 30 is collimated and emitted from the light-emitting surface. It can be understood that a concave structure is formed above the light-emitting layer 32, similar to a concave lens, so that the light is collimated to avoid light scattering and improve the light extraction rate.

[0064] Further reading Figure 1 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 Schematic diagram of light emission of the stretchable display panel in the stretched display state. When the stretchable display panel 100 is in the stretched display state, the control electrode layer 50 controls the refractive index of the second dielectric layer 42 to be equal to the refractive index of the first dielectric layer 41, and controls the refractive index of the third dielectric layer 43 to be greater than the refractive index of the first dielectric layer 41, so that the light of the light-emitting element 30 is scattered out of the light-emitting surface. It can be understood that a convex structure is formed above the light-emitting layer 32, similar to a convex lens, so that the light is diverged and the area coverage of the emitted light is increased.

[0065] Since the stretched portion of the existing stretchable display panel can produce adaptive deformation when stretched, but the light-emitting area does not change, resulting in a decrease in display quality, the present application controls the refractive index of the second medium layer 42 to be equal to the refractive index of the first medium layer 41, and controls the refractive index of the third medium layer 43 to be greater than the refractive index of the first medium layer 41, so that the light of the light-emitting element 30 is scattered out of the light-emitting surface, the area coverage of the emitted light is increased, and the display effect after stretching is improved, thereby improving the display quality of the stretchable display panel 100.

[0066] The present application provides a stretchable display panel 100. The stretchable display panel 100 has a light emitting surface, including a driving substrate 10, a pixel definition layer 20, a light emitting element 30, a dielectric layer 40 and a control electrode layer 50. The dielectric layer 40 includes a first dielectric layer 41, a second dielectric layer 42, a third dielectric layer 43 and a fourth dielectric layer 44. The light emitting element 30 includes an anode electrode 31, a light emitting layer 32 and a cathode electrode 33. The control electrode layer 50 includes a first electrode 51, a second electrode 52 and a third electrode 53. The stretchable display panel 100 controls the dielectric layer 40 by controlling the electrode layer 50, so that the control electrode layer 50 controls the refractive index of the dielectric layer 40; when the stretchable display panel 100 is in a non-stretched display state, the control electrode layer 50 controls the refractive index of the second dielectric layer 42 to be greater than the refractive index of the first dielectric layer 41, and controls the refractive index of the third dielectric layer 43 to be equal to the refractive index of the first dielectric layer 41, so that the light of the light-emitting element 30 is collimated and emitted from the light-emitting surface, thereby improving the light extraction rate; in the stretched display state, the control electrode layer 50 controls the refractive index of the second dielectric layer 42 to be equal to the refractive index of the first dielectric layer 41, and controls the refractive index of the third dielectric layer 43 to be greater than the refractive index of the first dielectric layer 41, so that the light of the light-emitting element 30 is scattered from the light-emitting surface and further scattered, thereby increasing the area coverage of the emitted light and improving the display effect after stretching, thereby improving the display quality of the stretchable display panel 100.
