The directional terms mentioned in the present application, such as [up], [down], [front], [back], [left], [right], [inside], [outside], [side], etc., are only with reference to the directions of the attached drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are used to illustrate and understand the present application, rather than to limit the present application. In the figures, units with similar structures are represented by the same reference numerals. In the accompanying drawings, the thickness of some layers and regions is exaggerated for clear understanding and ease of description. That is, the size and thickness of each component shown in the drawings are arbitrarily shown, but the present application is not limited to this.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 for Figure 1 A detailed structural diagram of the conductive particles in the Figure 1 , the display panel 1000 includes a liquid crystal display panel, etc., the display panel 1000 includes a first substrate 200 and a second substrate 300 arranged opposite to each other, and a sealant 400 arranged between the first substrate 200 and the second substrate 300, and the sealant 400 is located at the edge area of ​​the first substrate 200 and the second substrate 300. Optionally, the first substrate 200 is an array substrate, the second substrate 300 is a color film substrate, the first substrate 200 includes a first substrate 201 and a first electrode 202 arranged on the first substrate 201, and the second substrate 300 includes a second substrate 301 and a second electrode 302 arranged on the second substrate 301. Of course, the display panel 1000 also includes a liquid crystal layer 500 located between the first substrate 200 and the second substrate 300, and the sealant 400 surrounds the liquid crystal layer 500.

[0031] The display panel 1000 also includes conductive particles 100 disposed in the frame sealant 400, the conductive particles 100 include substrate microspheres 10 and a conductive layer 20 disposed on the outer surface of the substrate microspheres 10, the conductive layer 20 wraps the substrate microspheres 10, the substrate microspheres 10 include an elastic substrate 11 and a color-developing material 12 dispersed in the elastic substrate 11 or disposed on the outer surface of the elastic substrate 11, the color-developing material 12 is configured to make the substrate microspheres 10 present different color conditions according to the different pressures applied to the conductive particles 100.

[0032] The present application can make the base microspheres 10 in the conductive particles 100 develop color by setting a coloring material 12 in the conductive particles 100. When the conductive particles 100 are subjected to pressure to partially crack the conductive layer 20 of the conductive particles 100, part of the base microspheres 10 are exposed. According to the coloring of the exposed base microspheres 10, it can be intuitively confirmed whether the particle size of the conductive particles 100 is appropriate. In this way, it can be avoided that the conductive particles pierce the film layer on the display panel due to the large particle size of the conductive particles, causing short circuit or explosion, thereby improving the technical problem of the existing display panels that the conductive particles pierce the film layer on the display panel due to the large particle size of the conductive particles, causing short circuit or explosion.

[0033] Specifically, the substrate microsphere 10 is spherical. The elastic substrate 11 in the substrate microsphere 10 is compressible and resilient, for example, the elastic substrate 11 includes one or more materials such as epoxy resin, polyester, polyurethane, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, phenolic, polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, etc. The interior of the elastic substrate 11 is a polymer network structure, and the color-developing material 12 is dispersed in the polymer network structure. Specifically, the color-developing material 12 can be mixed in the original substrate of the elastic substrate 11, and the original substrate is subjected to a free radical polymerization reaction to form the elastic substrate 11 with a polymer network structure, so that the color-developing material 12 is dispersed in the polymer network structure.

[0034] The color-developing material 12 includes a material with color-developing properties such as a piezochromic material or a fluorescent material. Among them, when the color-developing material 12 is a piezochromic material, it may include zinc complexes, carbazoles, etc.; when the color-developing material 12 is a fluorescent material, it may include rhodamine, coumarin, pyrazoline, etc. Optionally, taking the color-developing material 12 as rhodamine and the elastic substrate 11 as polystyrene as an example, the substrate microspheres can be formed by the following steps: rhodamine is uniformly mixed in styrene, an initiator (such as a thermal initiator, a photoinitiator) is added to the styrene to perform free radical polymerization under UV light or above 60°C, and polystyrene with a network structure is formed after polymerization, and rhodamine is also uniformly distributed in the polymer network structure.

[0035] The conductive layer 20 is disposed on the outer surface of the substrate microsphere 10. The conductive layer 20 includes a first sublayer 21 wrapping the substrate microsphere 10 and a second sublayer 22 wrapping the first sublayer 21, wherein the first sublayer 21 includes a nickel layer and the second sublayer 22 includes a gold layer. A plurality of thorn-like protrusions 211 are disposed on the outer surface of the conductive layer 20. Specifically, the outer surface of the first sublayer 21 and the outer surface of the second sublayer 22 are both provided with thorn-like protrusions 211, and the thorn-like protrusions 211 on the outer surface of the first sublayer 21 are disposed correspondingly to the thorn-like protrusions 211 on the outer surface of the second sublayer 22. The thorn-like protrusions 211 on the conductive layer 20 can make the sealant 400 easy to discharge and also easy to break through the colloid, so that the first substrate 200 and the second substrate 300 are connected through the conductive particles 100.

[0036] The conductive particles 100 are in a compressed state between the first substrate 200 and the second substrate 300, and the compression rate of the conductive particles ranges from 65% to 90%, such as 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, etc. The compression rate of the conductive particles 100 refers to the percentage of the particle size of the conductive particles 100 after being compressed to the particle size of the conductive particles 100 before being compressed in the direction of the pressure on the conductive particles 100. For example, when pressure is applied to the first substrate 200 or the second substrate 300, the direction of the pressure is perpendicular to the plane where the first substrate 200 and the plane where the second substrate 300 are located. The first substrate 200 and the second substrate 300 must maintain a box thickness distance of 7.5 microns. The particle size of the conductive particles 100 before compression is 10 microns. When the particle size of the conductive particles 100 after being compressed is the same as the box thickness distance, which is also 7.5 microns, the compression rate of the conductive particles 100 is 75%.

[0037] Further, when the compression degree of the conductive particle 100 reaches a certain range, the conductive layer 20 of the conductive particle 100 will break to form cracks, and the cracks expose the part of the substrate microsphere 10 covered by the conductive layer 20. The percentage of the area of ​​the crack to the area of ​​the conductive layer 20 is less than or equal to 10%, that is, the percentage of the rupture area of ​​the conductive layer 20 to the total area of ​​the conductive layer 20 is less than or equal to 10%. When the percentage of the rupture area of ​​the conductive layer 20 to the total area of ​​the conductive layer 20 is greater than 10%, the thorn-like protrusions 211 on the outer surface of the conductive particle 100 will pierce the first electrode 202 and / or the second electrode 302, thereby causing a short circuit or explosion.

[0038] Specifically, in the process of manufacturing the display panel 1000, when the color-developing material 12 is a piezochromic material, when the conductive particle 100 is subjected to external pressure, the base microsphere 10 inside the conductive particle 100 undergoes elastic deformation, and the conductive particle 100 is compressed; when the degree of compression reaches a certain range, the conductive layer 20 of the conductive particle 100 breaks to expose a portion of the base microsphere 10 covered by the conductive layer 20, and because the base microsphere 10 is provided with the piezochromic material, the piezochromic material displays different colors under different pressures, and the color displayed by the piezochromic material is the desired color. The color presented by the substrate microsphere 10, so that the substrate microsphere 10 can present the corresponding color through the cracks of the conductive layer 20, that is, the piezochromic material can make the substrate microsphere 10 present different color according to the different pressures on the conductive particles 100. The different color presentations of the substrate microsphere 10 include the color displayed by the substrate microsphere 10 exposed by the crack and / or the area of ​​the color displayed. Based on this, the compression degree of the conductive particles 100 can be determined according to the color displayed by the substrate microsphere 10 exposed by the crack and / or the area of ​​the color displayed, and then whether the particle size of the conductive particles 100 is appropriate can be determined.

[0039] More specifically, when the conductive particle 100 is subjected to pressure in a first interval, the piezochromic material displays a first color; when the conductive particle 100 is subjected to pressure in a second interval, the piezochromic material displays a second color. The pressure in the first interval is less than the pressure in the second interval, and the first color is different from the second color. When the piezochromic material is set to display the first color, the particle size of the conductive particle 100 is appropriate, and when the piezochromic material displays the second color, it is determined that the particle size of the conductive particle 100 is too large. For example, when the conductive particles 100 need to conduct the first substrate 200 and the second substrate 300 at a fixed interval, when the pressure of the first interval is applied to the first substrate 200 or the second substrate 300, the conductive layer 20 of the conductive particles 100 is broken, and the first color displayed by the piezochromic material is revealed through the cracks of the conductive layer 20; when the pressure of the second interval is applied to the first substrate 200 or the second substrate 300, the conductive layer 20 of the conductive particles 100 is broken, and the second color displayed by the piezochromic material is revealed through the cracks of the conductive layer 20. If the piezochromic material displays the second color, it can be determined that the particle size of the conductive particles 100 is large.

[0040] Correspondingly, when the color-developing material 12 is a fluorescent material, when the conductive particle 100 is subjected to external pressure, the base microsphere 10 inside the conductive particle 100 will undergo elastic deformation, and the conductive particle 100 will be compressed; when the compression degree reaches a certain range, the conductive layer 20 of the conductive particle 100 will rupture to expose the part of the base microsphere 10 covered by the conductive layer 20, and the base microsphere 10 is provided with the fluorescent material, and the fluorescent material will display the corresponding color, and different fluorescent materials display different colors, and the color displayed by the fluorescent material is the color displayed by the fluorescent material. The color presented by the substrate microsphere 10, in this way, the substrate microsphere 10 can present corresponding color conditions through the cracks of the conductive layer 20, that is, the fluorescent material can make the substrate microsphere 10 present different color conditions according to the different pressures on the conductive particles 100. The different color conditions presented by the substrate microsphere 10 include the area of ​​the substrate microsphere 10 exposed by the cracks showing the color. Based on this, the compression degree of the conductive particles 100 can be determined according to the area of ​​the substrate microsphere 10 exposed by the cracks showing the color, and then it can be determined whether the particle size of the conductive particles 100 is appropriate.

[0041] More specifically, when the conductive particle 100 is subjected to pressure in the first interval, the area of ​​the substrate microsphere 10 exposed by the cracks of the conductive layer 20 is the first area; when the conductive particle 100 is subjected to pressure in the second interval, the area of ​​the substrate microsphere 10 exposed by the cracks of the conductive layer 20 is the second area. The pressure in the first interval is less than the pressure in the second interval, and the first area is less than the second area. The greater the pressure on the conductive particle 100, the greater the degree of compression of the conductive particle 100, and the correspondingly larger the crack area of ​​the conductive layer 20, and the larger the area of ​​the substrate microsphere 10 exposed by the cracks of the conductive layer 20. When the area of ​​the substrate microsphere 10 exposed by the cracks of the conductive layer 20 is set to the first area, the particle size of the conductive particle 100 is appropriate, and when the area of ​​the substrate microsphere 10 exposed by the cracks of the conductive layer 20 is the second area, it is determined that the particle size of the conductive particle 100 is too large.

[0042] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 3 for Figure 1 Another detailed structural diagram of the conductive particle 100 is shown in FIG. Figure 4 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the planar structure of the substrate microsphere. Figure 3, which is different from the above embodiment, the color developing material is arranged on the outer surface of the elastic substrate 11 to form a color developing layer 121. Optionally, the color developing layer 121 can be formed by arranging the color developing material on the outer surface of the elastic substrate 11 by wrapping, adsorption, printing, screen printing, electroplating, etc. The color developing layer 121 wraps or half wraps the elastic substrate 11. Optionally, the color developing layer 121 is arranged in a mesh or stripe shape, for example Figure 4 The color development layer 121 shown in (a) is arranged in a stripe shape; Figure 4 The color development layer 121 shown in (b) is arranged in a mesh shape.

[0043] In this embodiment, a color developing layer 121 is formed by arranging a color developing material on the outer surface of the elastic substrate 11. The color developing layer 121 can display color, and the color displayed by the color developing layer 121 is the color presented by the substrate microsphere 10. In this way, the substrate microsphere 10 can present a corresponding color development through the cracks of the conductive layer 20, that is, the color developing layer 121 can make the substrate microsphere 10 present different color development according to the different pressures on the conductive particles 100. For other descriptions, please refer to the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0044] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a method for determining the particle size of conductive particles in a display panel manufacturing process, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 5 A schematic flow chart of a method for determining the particle size of conductive particles in a display panel manufacturing process provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The method for determining the particle size of conductive particles in the display panel manufacturing process includes the following steps:

[0045] S601: providing a sealant 400, and doping the conductive particles 100 into the sealant 400;

[0046] Specifically, when the color-developing material 12 in the conductive particle 100 is a piezochromic material, the piezochromic material is added to the original substrate of the elastic substrate 11, and the original substrate is subjected to a free radical polymerization reaction to form the elastic substrate 11 in a polymer network structure, and the piezochromic material is dispersed in the polymer network structure to prepare a substrate microsphere 10 added with a piezochromic material, and then the surface of the substrate microsphere 10 is plated with electroless nickel and then gold-plated to form a conductive layer 20, thereby forming the conductive particle 100; or, the piezochromic material is arranged on the outer surface of the elastic substrate 11 by wrapping, adsorption, printing, screen printing, electroplating, etc., and the piezochromic material can be in the form of full wrapping, half wrapping, etc., and then the outer surface of the piezochromic material is plated with electroless nickel and then gold-plated to form a conductive layer 20, thereby forming the conductive particle 100. When the color-developing material 12 in the conductive particle 100 is a fluorescent material, the preparation method of the conductive particle 100 can be the same as the preparation method when the color-developing material 12 is a piezochromic material.

[0047] S602: providing a first substrate 200 , and disposing the frame sealant 400 doped with the conductive particles 100 at an edge region of the first substrate 200 ;

[0048] S603: providing a second substrate 300, and aligning and pressing the second substrate 300 and the first substrate 200;

[0049] S604: obtaining the color development of the color development material 12 in the conductive particles 100 after the first substrate 200 and the second substrate 300 are aligned and pressed together;

[0050] S605 : Determine the particle size of the conductive particles 100 according to the color development of the color development material 12 .

[0051] Specifically, when the color-developing material 12 includes a piezochromic material, obtaining the color development of the color-developing material 12 in the conductive particle 100 after the first substrate 200 and the second substrate 300 are aligned and pressed together includes obtaining the color change and / or the change of the exposed area of ​​the color-developing material 12. Specifically, when the color-developing material 12 is a piezochromic material, when the conductive particle 100 is subjected to external pressure, the base material microsphere 10 inside the conductive particle 100 will undergo elastic deformation, and the conductive particle 100 will be compressed; when the degree of compression reaches a certain range, the conductive layer 20 of the conductive particle 100 will rupture to expose the base material microsphere 10 covered by the conductive layer 20, and at this time, the color of the piezochromic material in the base material microsphere 10 will be revealed through the cracks in the conductive layer 20, and accordingly, the color change of the piezochromic material can be obtained. The degree of compression of the conductive particle 100 can be determined by measuring the area of ​​color change of the conductive layer 20 or the color change of the conductive layer 20, and then determining whether the particle size of the conductive particle 100 is appropriate. For example, if the percentage of the area of ​​the conductive layer 20 exposed by the cracks of the conductive layer 20 to the total area of ​​the conductive layer 20 is less than or equal to 10%, then the particle size of the conductive particle 100 is appropriate; if the percentage of the area of ​​the conductive layer 20 exposed by the cracks of the conductive layer 20 to the total area of ​​the conductive layer 20 is greater than 10%, then the particle size of the conductive particle 100 is too large.

[0052] When the color-developing material 12 includes a fluorescent material, obtaining the color-developing condition of the color-developing material 12 in the conductive particle 100 after the first substrate 200 and the second substrate 300 are aligned and pressed together includes obtaining the change in the exposed area of ​​the color-developing material 12. Specifically, when the color-developing material 12 is a fluorescent material, when the conductive particle 100 is subjected to external pressure, the base microsphere 10 inside the conductive particle 100 will undergo elastic deformation, and the conductive particle 100 will be compressed; when the degree of compression reaches a certain range, the conductive layer 20 of the conductive particle 100 will rupture to expose the base microsphere 10 covered by the conductive layer 20, and the color of the fluorescent material in the base microsphere 10 will be revealed through the cracks in the conductive layer 20, and the color of the fluorescent material can be determined based on the color of the fluorescent material. The color change or the area of ​​the color change of the fluorescent material can be used to determine the compression degree of the conductive particle 100, and then determine whether the particle size of the conductive particle 100 is appropriate. For example, if the percentage of the area of ​​the fluorescent material exposed by the cracks of the conductive layer 20 to the total area of ​​the fluorescent material is less than or equal to 10%, then the particle size of the conductive particle 100 is appropriate; if the percentage of the area of ​​the fluorescent material exposed by the cracks of the conductive layer 20 to the total area of ​​the fluorescent material is greater than 10%, then the particle size of the conductive particle 100 is too large.

[0053] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a display device, which includes a display panel of one of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0054] According to the above embodiments, it can be seen that:

[0055] In a display panel and a display device provided by the present application, the display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate arranged opposite to each other and a sealant arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate, conductive particles are arranged in the sealant, the conductive particles include base material microspheres and a conductive layer arranged on the outer surface of the base material microspheres, the conductive layer wraps the base material microspheres, the base material microspheres include an elastic base material and a color-developing material dispersed in the elastic base material or arranged on the outer surface of the elastic base material, the color-developing material is configured to make the base material microspheres present different color development conditions according to different pressures applied to the conductive particles; the present application can make the base material microspheres in the conductive particles develop color by arranging the color-developing material in the conductive particles, when the conductive particles are subjected to pressure to partially crack the conductive layer of the conductive particles, part of the base material microspheres are exposed, and whether the particle size of the conductive particles is appropriate can be intuitively confirmed according to the color development conditions of the exposed base material microspheres, so that the conductive particles can be prevented from piercing the film layer on the display panel due to the excessively large particle size, causing short circuit or explosion, thereby improving the technical problem of the existing display panels that the conductive particles pierce the film layer on the display panel due to the excessively large particle size, causing short circuit or explosion.

[0056] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
