[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application provide a display panel, which comprises a first substrate 1 and a second substrate 2 arranged oppositely.

The first encapsulation layer 14 comprises a plurality of first encapsulation units 141 arranged at intervals and corresponding to the light-emitting units 131, and the first encapsulation units 141 cover the side of the light-emitting units 131 close to the second substrate 2. The first light-shielding layer 15 is arranged on the side of the first pixel definition layer 12 close to the second substrate 2, and the second light-shielding layer 25 comprises a plurality of first light-shielding openings 151, and the first encapsulation units 141 are located in the first light-shielding openings 151.

[0044] Specifically, the second substrate 2 comprises a second substrate 21, a second pixel definition layer 22, a quantum dot layer 23, a second encapsulation layer 24 and a second light shielding layer 25.

[0045] It can be understood that, by patterning the first encapsulation layer 14 arranged on the whole surface of the first substrate 1 to form a plurality of first encapsulation units 141 arranged at intervals and correspondingly to the light emitting units 131, and patterning the second encapsulation layer 24 arranged on the whole surface of the second substrate 2 to form a plurality of second encapsulation units 241 arranged at intervals and correspondingly to the quantum dot units 231, and forming the first light shielding layer 15 on the side of the first pixel definition layer 12 close to the second substrate 2, the first encapsulation units 141 being located in the first light shielding openings 151 of the first light shielding layer 15, and forming the second light shielding layer 25 on the side of the second pixel definition layer 22 close to the first substrate 1, the second encapsulation units 241 being located in the second light shielding openings 251 of the second light shielding layer 25, the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 are used to shield the large-angle light emitted from the light emitting units 131, so as to prevent the light from entering the quantum dot units 231 in the adjacent pixels, thereby avoiding the optical crosstalk problem caused by the light leakage between the adjacent pixels, and facilitating the improvement of the display effect.

[0046] Specifically, the first substrate 1 further comprises a driving circuit layer and a planarization layer, the driving circuit layer is located on the first substrate 11, the planarization layer covers the driving circuit layer, and the first pixel definition layer 12 is located on the planarization layer. The driving circuit layer comprises a plurality of pixel driving circuits, the pixel driving circuits are electrically connected with the light emitting units 131 to drive the light emitting units 131 to emit light. The pixel driving circuit can comprise a plurality of thin film transistors (T) and a storage capacitor (C), and the pixel driving circuit can be of a structure of 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C or 7T1C, and the present disclosure does not limit this. The driving circuit layer can further comprise a plurality of data lines (not shown in the figure) and a plurality of gate lines (not shown in the figure), and other signal lines (not shown in the figure).

[0047] Specifically, the light emitting device layer 13 further comprises a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode is located on the driving circuit layer, and the first pixel opening 121 exposes the first electrode. The light emitting unit 131 comprises an organic light emitting layer, the organic light emitting layer is located on the first electrode, and the second electrode is located on the organic light emitting layer and the first pixel definition layer 12. Specifically, the first electrode can be an anode, and the second electrode can be a cathode. The organic light emitting layer can further comprise any one or more film layers of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer and an electron injection layer.

[0048] Specifically, the light emitting unit 131 is a blue light emitting unit 131B, and the blue light emitting unit 131B is used to emit blue light or blue-green light. The quantum dot unit 231 comprises a red quantum dot unit 231R, a blue quantum dot unit 231B and a light transmission layer 232, and the light emitted by the blue light emitting unit 131B enters the corresponding red quantum dot unit 231R, blue quantum dot unit 231B and light transmission layer 232. Specifically, the red quantum dot unit 231R is configured to convert the blue light or blue-green light emitted by the corresponding blue light emitting unit 131B into red light, the green quantum dot unit 231G is configured to convert the blue light or blue-green light emitted by the corresponding blue light emitting unit 131B into green light, and the light transmission layer 232 is configured to transmit the blue light or blue-green light emitted by the corresponding blue light emitting unit 131B.

[0049] It can be understood that the red quantum dot unit 231R and the corresponding blue quantum dot unit 231B are used to constitute a red sub-pixel, the green quantum dot unit 231G and the corresponding blue quantum dot unit 231B are used to constitute a green sub-pixel, and the light transmission layer 232 and the corresponding blue quantum dot unit are used to constitute a blue sub-pixel.

[0050] It should be noted that for the blue sub-pixel, since the light emitted by the blue light emitting unit 131B is blue light or blue-green light itself, there is no need to further set a blue quantum dot layer 23, and the transparent layer 232 is set. The transparent layer 232 can be an air layer or a transparent material layer. For example, the transparent layer 232 can be a transparent polymer resin material, such as acrylic, etc. as a transparent material layer, and in order to further improve the light extraction efficiency of the blue sub-pixel, reflective particles capable of reflecting blue light to the light emitting surface can be added in the transparent material layer.

[0051] Further, the second substrate 2 further comprises a color filter layer 26, which is arranged on the side of the second substrate 21 close to the first substrate 1, and comprises a plurality of color resist corresponding to the light emitting unit 131, the plurality of color resist 261 comprises red color resist 261R, green color resist 261G and blue color resist 261B, the red color resist 261R is arranged corresponding to the red quantum dot unit 231R, the green color resist 261G is arranged corresponding to the green quantum dot unit 231G, and the blue color resist 261B is arranged corresponding to the transparent layer 232.

[0052] Specifically, the color filter layer 26 further comprises a plurality of black matrices 262, and the black matrices 262 are arranged between adjacent two color resist 261.

[0053] Specifically, the first encapsulation layer 14 is used to encapsulate the light emitting unit 131 to avoid the intrusion of external water and oxygen to the light emitting unit 131, and correspondingly, the second encapsulation layer 24 is used to encapsulate the quantum dot unit 231 to avoid the intrusion of external water and oxygen to the quantum dot unit 231.

[0054] Optionally, the first encapsulation layer 14 can comprise a plurality of inorganic material layers stacked, or can comprise a first inorganic material layer, an organic material layer and a second inorganic material layer stacked in sequence away from the first substrate 11. The materials of the first inorganic material layer and the second inorganic material layer can include any one or more of silicon nitride, silicon oxide and silicon oxynitride, and the material of the organic material layer can be resin.

[0055] Optionally, the second encapsulation layer 24 can be the same material as the first encapsulation layer 14, and exemplarily, the second encapsulation layer 24 can comprise a plurality of inorganic material layers stacked, or can comprise a first inorganic material layer, an organic material layer and a second inorganic material layer stacked in sequence away from the second substrate 21.

[0056] Specifically, the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 are both made of light shielding material, which is used to shield the large angle light emitted from the light emitting unit 131, so as to avoid the large angle light from entering the quantum dot unit 231 in the adjacent pixel. For example, the light emitted from the blue light emitting unit 131B in the red sub-pixel should enter the corresponding red quantum dot unit 231R. If the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 are not provided, a part of the light may pass through the first encapsulation layer 14 and the second encapsulation layer 24 and enter the adjacent green quantum dot unit 231G or the light transmission layer 232. However, in the embodiment of the present application, the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 are provided to shield the above-mentioned large angle light, so as to avoid the large angle light from entering the adjacent green quantum dot unit 231G or the light transmission layer 232, thereby avoiding the optical crosstalk problem caused by the light leakage between the adjacent pixels.

[0057] Optionally, the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 can be made of black light absorbing material, and the two can be made of the same material or different materials, and the embodiment of the present application does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0058] Specifically, in the top view, the first light shielding layer 15 is a grid structure, and the second light shielding layer 25 is also a grid structure, the first light shielding layer 15 surrounds the first encapsulation unit 141, and the second light shielding layer 25 surrounds the second encapsulation unit 241.

[0059] Specifically, the first light shielding opening 151 is in communication with the first pixel opening 121, and the second light shielding opening 251 is in communication with the second pixel opening 221.

[0060] Specifically, the orthographic projection of the first light shielding opening 151 on the first substrate 11 covers the orthographic projection of the first pixel opening 121 on the first substrate 11, so as to avoid the first light shielding layer 15 from affecting the normal light emission of the light emitting unit 131. Similarly, the orthographic projection of the second light shielding opening 251 on the second substrate 21 covers the orthographic projection of the second pixel opening 221 on the second substrate 21, so as to avoid the second light shielding layer 25 from shielding the light normally entering the corresponding quantum dot unit 231.

[0061] Specifically, the display panel further comprises a transparent adhesive layer 3, which is arranged between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, and is a double-sided adhesive tape for bonding the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2. After the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are respectively prepared, the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are combined through the transparent adhesive layer 3 to form the display panel. It should be noted that the film thickness of the transparent adhesive layer 3 is relatively thin, and the probability of light leakage between adjacent pixels is relatively small and can be ignored.

[0062] In the embodiment, the side surface of the first light shielding layer 15 close to the second substrate 2 is a first surface, and the side surface of the second light shielding layer 25 close to the first substrate 1 is a second surface. There is a gap between the first surface and the second surface, and the transparent adhesive layer 3 is located in the gap between the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 and between the first encapsulation unit 141 and the second encapsulation unit 241.

[0063] Specifically, the side surface of the first encapsulation unit 141 close to the second substrate 2 is a third surface, and the side surface of the second encapsulation unit 241 close to the first substrate 1 is a fourth surface. In the embodiment, in order to make the surface of the transparent adhesive layer 3 flat, the first surface is flush with the third surface, and the second surface is flush with the fourth surface.

[0064] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the first encapsulation layer 14 can be prepared before the first light shielding layer 15, and the second encapsulation layer 24 can be prepared before the second light shielding layer 25. For example, the first substrate 1 is taken as an example. A layer of encapsulation material is formed on the whole surface by deposition, sputtering or coating process, and a mask is used to pattern the encapsulation material layer to form a plurality of first encapsulation units 141. Then, a light shielding material layer is formed on the whole surface of the first pixel definition layer 12 and the first encapsulation unit 141, and a mask is used to pattern the light shielding material layer to remove the light shielding material layer above the first encapsulation unit 141 and retain the light shielding material layer between adjacent two first encapsulation units 141.

[0065] Of course, a light shielding material layer can also be formed on the whole surface by deposition, sputtering or coating process, and a mask is used to pattern the light shielding material layer to form a plurality of first light shielding openings 151. Then, a layer of encapsulation material is formed on the whole surface of the first light shielding layer 15 and the light emitting device layer 13, and a mask is used to pattern the encapsulation material layer to form the first encapsulation unit 141 in the first light shielding opening 151.

[0066] Optionally, in the embodiment, a dry etching process can be used to etch the encapsulation material layer.

[0067] It should be noted that the preparation steps of the second encapsulation layer 24 and the second light shielding layer 25 are similar to those of the first encapsulation layer 14 and the first light shielding layer 15, and the above description of the preparation steps of the first encapsulation layer 14 and the first light shielding layer 15 can be referred to for details.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 and Figure 1 The difference between the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 is that the side surface of the first light shielding layer 15 close to the second substrate 2 is the first surface, and the side surface of the second light shielding layer 25 close to the first substrate 1 is the second surface; wherein the first surface is attached to the second surface.

[0069] It can be understood that there is no gap between the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 in the embodiment, and the transparent adhesive layer 3 is only located between the first encapsulation unit 141 and the second encapsulation unit 241, so that the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 can confine the light emitted by the light emitting unit 131 in the corresponding sub-pixel, which is beneficial to further reduce the probability of optical crosstalk caused by light leakage between adjacent pixels.

[0070] In the embodiment, the first surface is located on the side of the third surface close to the second substrate 2, and the second surface is located on the side of the fourth surface close to the first substrate 1, that is, in the thickness direction of the display panel, the size of the first light shielding layer 15 is greater than the size of the first encapsulation unit 141, and the size of the second light shielding layer 25 is greater than the size of the second encapsulation unit 241, and there is a gap between the first encapsulation unit 141 and the second encapsulation unit 241 for setting the transparent adhesive layer 3 to realize the attachment of the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 and Figure 1 The difference between the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 is that the first light shielding layer 15 is integrally formed with the first pixel definition layer 12, and / or the second light shielding layer 25 is integrally formed with the second pixel definition layer 22. That is, in the embodiment, the first light shielding layer 15 and the first pixel definition layer 12 are prepared by one photomask process, and / or the second light shielding layer 25 and the second pixel definition layer 22 are prepared by one photomask process, which is beneficial to reduce the process and reduce the production cost.

[0072] Specifically, still taking the first substrate 1 as an example, after the first pixel definition layer 12 and the first light shielding layer 15 are formed, the light emitting unit 131 is formed in the first pixel opening 121 and the first encapsulating unit 141 is formed in the first light shielding opening 151 by inkjet printing or yellow light process.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 and Figure 2 The difference between the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 is that the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 are integrally formed, that is, the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 are prepared by one mask process, which is beneficial to save process and reduce cost. Specifically, the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 can be formed at the same time when the first substrate 1 is prepared, and the second light shielding layer 25 does not need to be formed again when the second substrate 2 is prepared. Or, the first light shielding layer 15 and the second light shielding layer 25 can be formed at the same time when the second substrate 2 is prepared, and the first light shielding layer 15 does not need to be formed again when the first substrate 1 is prepared.
