[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application provides an OLED display panel 100, including a light-emitting substrate 10, a thin film transistor array layer 20 and a photoelectric conversion layer 30, the light-emitting substrate 10 includes a plurality of light-emitting units 101, the light-emitting unit 101 includes an anode layer 2, a light-emitting layer 1 and a cathode layer 3; the thin film transistor array layer 20 is arranged on the light-emitting substrate 10, the thin film transistor array layer 20 includes a plurality of thin film transistors 201, the thin film transistor 201 includes an active layer 21, a source electrode 23 and a drain electrode 22 arranged on the active layer 21, and a gate electrode 24, the drain electrode 22 is electrically connected to the anode layer 2; the photoelectric conversion layer 30 is arranged on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting substrate 10, the photoelectric conversion layer 30 includes a first photosensitive area 301 and a second photosensitive area 302, the second photosensitive area 302 is electrically connected to the cathode layer 3, and the first photosensitive area 301 is electrically connected to the gate electrode 24; wherein the first photosensitive area 301 and the second photosensitive area 302 can convert light energy into electrical signals under the action of external light.

[0043] The light-emitting matrix 10 is an OLED structure. Figure 1 As shown, the light-emitting matrix 10 includes, in addition to the anode layer 2, the light-emitting layer 1 and the cathode layer 3, an electron injection layer 4 and an electron transport layer 5 arranged between the light-emitting layer 1 and the cathode layer 3, and a hole transport layer 6 and a hole injection layer 7 arranged between the light-emitting layer 1 and the anode layer 2.

[0044] The display principle of the above-mentioned OLED display panel 100 is to use two layers of ITO transparent electrodes as the anode layer 2 (Anode) and the cathode layer 3 (Cathode) of the OLED structure respectively. Under a certain voltage drive, electrons and holes are respectively injected from the cathode layer 3 and the anode layer 2 into the electron transport layer 5 (Electron Transport Layer, ETL) and the hole transport layer 6 (Hole Transport Layer, HTL) and then migrate to the emission layer 1 (Emission Layer, EML). After meeting, excitons are formed to excite the luminescent molecules, which emit visible light after radiation.

[0045] Generally, the light-emitting substrate 10 can emit light from both sides, that is, the light-emitting substrate 10 can emit light toward the anode layer 2 side and the cathode layer 3 side; of course, a light-shielding layer such as a reflective layer can also be provided on the cathode layer 3 to limit the emission of light, so that the light generated by the light-emitting substrate 10 is only emitted from the anode layer 2 side (such as Figure 1 The power source is emitted in the direction of the downward-pointing dotted arrow shown in the figure).

[0046] The thin film transistor array layer 20 is usually connected to the anode layer 2 and the cathode layer 3 of the light-emitting substrate 10 to provide driving voltage for the anode layer 2 and the cathode layer 3. Therefore, the thin film transistor array layer 20 is usually arranged on the side of the light-emitting substrate 10 where the anode layer 2 is arranged.

[0047] By arranging a photoelectric conversion layer 30 on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting substrate 10, the photoelectric conversion layer 30 includes a first photosensitive area 301 and a second photosensitive area 302, the first photosensitive area 301 in the photoelectric conversion layer 30 is electrically connected to the gate 24 of the thin film transistor 201, and the drain 22 of the thin film transistor 201 is electrically connected to the anode of the light-emitting unit 101, that is, the first photosensitive area 301 is electrically connected to the anode layer 2 of the corresponding light-emitting unit 101 through the thin film transistor 201, and the second photosensitive area 302 is electrically connected to the cathode layer 3. When the OLED display panel 100 is used under the condition of sufficient external light, since the first photosensitive area 301 and the second photosensitive area 302 can convert light energy into electrical signals under the action of external light, additional voltage signals are provided for the anode layer 2 and the cathode layer 3 in the corresponding light-emitting unit 101, the number of holes in the anode layer 2 and the electrons in the cathode layer 3 is increased, so that the brightness of the corresponding light-emitting layer 1 is improved, which is beneficial to improving the display effect of the OLED display panel 100.

[0048] Hereinafter, the light emitting side of the light emitting substrate 10 is Figure 1 The downward dashed arrow in the figure is used as an example for explanation.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a photoelectric conversion layer 30 is disposed on a side of the thin film transistor array layer 20 away from the light emitting substrate 10 .

[0050] Through the above arrangement, the thin film transistor array layer 20 is located between the light-emitting substrate 10 and the photoelectric conversion layer 30, which not only facilitates the connection of the drain electrode 22 of the thin film transistor 201, but also shortens the connection distance between the first photosensitive area 301 and the gate electrode 24 of the thin film transistor 201, and facilitates the electrical connection between the first photosensitive area 301 of the photoelectric conversion layer 30 and the drain electrode 22 of the thin film transistor 201, thereby facilitating the reliability of the OLED display panel 100.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the photoelectric conversion layer 30 includes a glass substrate 31 and a plurality of photosensitive portions 32 and a first insulating layer 33 arranged on the glass substrate 31, the photosensitive portion 32 includes a first photosensitive area 301 and a second photosensitive area 302, and a first conductive via 330 connecting the gate 24 and the first photosensitive area 301 is opened on the first insulating layer 33.

[0052] The above-mentioned glass substrate 31 mainly plays a bearing role. The photosensitive part 32 is usually formed by coating a photosensitive material on a specific area of ​​the glass substrate 31, or first coating a layer of photosensitive material on the glass substrate 31, and then removing excess photosensitive material through etching and other technologies, thereby forming a first photosensitive area 301 and a second photosensitive area 302 on the glass substrate 31.

[0053] The first conductive via 330 enables the gate 24 of the thin film transistor 201 to be mechanically and electrically connected to the first photosensitive region 301. The first conductive via 330 is formed by opening a via at a specific position of the first insulating layer 33 and then filling the via with a conductive medium.

[0054] Through the above arrangement, the first photosensitive area 301 is electrically connected to the gate electrode 24 of the thin film transistor 201 through the first conductive via 330. This not only simplifies the process, is easy to implement, and has low cost, but also separates the first photosensitive area 301 and the second photosensitive area 302 from the thin film transistor 201 through the first insulating layer 33 to achieve insulation between the two, thereby reducing the mutual influence between the two, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the OLED display panel 100.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of photosensitive portions 32 is equal to the number of light-emitting units 101, and multiple photosensitive portions 32 correspond to multiple light-emitting units 101. That is, the anode layer 2 and the cathode layer 3 of each light-emitting unit 101 are respectively connected to a first photosensitive area 301 and a second photosensitive area 302.

[0056] Through the above arrangement, whether under uniform illumination or partial bright illumination, the luminous brightness of each light emitting unit 101 is determined by the rated voltage and the compensation voltage provided by the photosensitive unit 32. The photosensitive unit 32 corresponding to each light emitting unit 101 converts different received light into different electrical signals. Thus, the compensation voltage corresponding to each light emitting unit 101 is different according to the corresponding light. In this way, not only the brightness of the OLED display panel 100 can be improved, but also the compensation voltages of different light emitting units 101 are different, so that the OLED display panel 100 can achieve the display effect and reduce the driving power consumption. It is particularly suitable for use under partial strong light.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of thin film transistors 201 is equal to the number of light emitting units 101 , and the plurality of thin film transistors 201 corresponds to the plurality of light emitting units 101 in a one-to-one manner.

[0058] Through the above arrangement, each light-emitting unit 101 is driven and controlled by a corresponding thin film transistor 201, so that independent control of multiple light-emitting units 101 is achieved, so that the brightness of some light-emitting units 101 in the light-emitting matrix 10 can be locally adjusted as needed, so that the OLED display panel 100 has a better display effect when used under local bright light, for example.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a second insulating layer 40 is disposed between the thin film transistor 201 and the anode layer 2 , and a second conductive via 41 connecting the anode layer 2 and the drain electrode 22 is formed on the second insulating layer 40 .

[0060] The second conductive via 41 enables mechanical and electrical connection between the drain electrode 22 of the thin film transistor 201 and the anode layer 2. The second conductive via 41 is formed by opening a via at a specific position of the second insulating layer 40 and then filling the via with a conductive medium.

[0061] Through the above arrangement, the anode layer 2 and the drain electrode 22 of the thin film transistor 201 are electrically connected through the second conductive via 41. This not only simplifies the process, is easy to implement, and has low cost, but also separates the anode layer 2 from the thin film transistor 201 through the second insulating layer 40 to achieve insulation between the two, thereby reducing the mutual influence between the two, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the OLED display panel 100.

[0062] For example, Figure 1As shown, a plurality of second conductive vias 41 are provided on the second insulating layer 40, and the number of the second conductive vias 41 is the same as the number of the thin film transistors 201, the number of the photosensitive parts 32, and the number of the light emitting units 101, and they correspond one to one. That is, one second conductive via 41 connects the anode layer 2 of a corresponding light emitting unit 101 and the drain electrode 22 of a thin film transistor 201, so that each light emitting unit 101 is independently controlled.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, along the thickness direction of the OLED display panel, the orthographic projection of the second conductive via 41 on the light-emitting substrate 10 is located on one side of the first corner of the anode layer 2, and the orthographic projection of the photosensitive portion 32 on the light-emitting substrate 10 is located on the other side of the first corner. In other words, the orthographic projections of the second conductive via 41 and the photosensitive portion 32 on the light-emitting substrate 10 are both located at the first corner, and the positions do not overlap, so that the two do not interfere with each other.

[0064] Through the above arrangement, not only the photosensitive portion 32, the second conductive via 41 and the anode layer 2 are arranged in the same manner, which facilitates the connection of the photosensitive portion 32 and the second conductive via 41 to the anode layer 2, respectively, thereby facilitating the improvement of connection reliability, but also the photosensitive portion 32, the second conductive via 41 and the anode layer 2 are staggered in arrangement, thereby reducing the size of the OLED display panel in the thickness direction, thereby facilitating the thinning of the OLED display panel.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the OLED display panel 100 (eg Figure 1 In the vertical direction), the positive projection of the photosensitive portion 32 and the thin film transistor 201 on the light-emitting substrate 10 is located between two adjacent light-emitting units 101.

[0066] Through the above arrangement, not only the photosensitive portion 32 and the thin film transistor 201 are electrically connected to the anode layer 2 and the cathode layer 3 of the corresponding light-emitting unit 101, thereby realizing normal light emission of each light-emitting unit 101, but also the influence on the two adjacent light-emitting units 101 is reduced, which is beneficial to improving the display effect.

[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, multiple anode layers 2 are arranged in an array, cathode layers 3 in the same row or column are connected to cathode strips in strip shape, the second photosensitive area 302 is in strip shape, and the second photosensitive area 302 is arranged in the same direction as the cathode strips.

[0068] The overlapping area between the cathode strip and the corresponding anode layer 2 determines the opening of each light-emitting unit 101 , that is, the opening of each light-emitting unit 101 is mainly determined by the corresponding anode layer 2 .

[0069] Through the above arrangement, the preparation process of the cathode layer 3 of the light-emitting substrate 10 is simplified. Moreover, the arrangement direction of the second photosensitive area 302 is the same as that of the cathode strip, which not only shortens the connection distance between the second photosensitive area 302 and the cathode strip, facilitating reliable connection between the two, but also connects multiple cathode layers 3 located in the same column or row into a cathode strip, making it convenient to provide a driving voltage to the cathode layer 3, thereby optimizing the circuit arrangement of the OLED display panel 100.

[0070] For example, Figure 2 As shown, multiple anode layers 2 are arranged in 3 rows and 4 columns, and the first photosensitive areas 301 are also arranged in 3 rows and 4 columns. The multiple first photosensitive areas 301 are connected to the multiple anode layers 2 one by one; the cathode layers 3 located in the same column are connected to form a cathode strip, that is, including 4 cathode strips arranged in columns, and the second photosensitive areas 302 include 4 second photosensitive areas 302, which are also arranged in columns.

[0071] Of course, multiple cathode layers 3 in the same row may be connected to form cathode strips. In this case, multiple second photosensitive areas 302 are arranged in rows, or multiple cathode layers 3 are not connected but are respectively connected to corresponding thin film transistors 201, which is not specifically limited here.

[0072] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of cathode strips is the same as the number of second photosensitive regions 302 , and the cathode strips are connected to the second photosensitive regions 302 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0073] Through the above arrangement, the second photosensitive area 302 can provide voltage to the corresponding cathode strips, that is, multiple cathode layers 3 located in the same column or row, so that the number of electrons generated by the corresponding cathode layers 3 increases the same, thereby optimizing the circuit layout of the OLED display panel 100.

[0083] In the above S300, the gate electrode 24 in the thin film transistor array layer 20 is separated from the active layer 21 by the third insulating layer 25. The preparation process of arranging the thin film transistor array layer 20 on the first insulating layer 33 is as follows: firstly, a gate electrode 24 layer is arranged at a position of the first insulating layer 33 corresponding to the first conductive through hole, and the third insulating layer 25 is arranged on the gate electrode 24 layer, and then the active layer 21 is arranged, and then a conductive metal layer is arranged on the active layer 21, and the corresponding source electrode 23 and drain electrode 22 are formed by etching, so as to form a plurality of thin film transistors 201, and the preparation of the thin film transistor array layer 20 is completed.

[0088] The display device in this embodiment is provided with a photoelectric conversion layer 30 on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting substrate 10. The photoelectric conversion layer 30 includes a first photosensitive area 301 and a second photosensitive area 302 corresponding to the light-emitting unit 101. The first photosensitive area 301 in the photoelectric conversion layer 30 is electrically connected to the gate electrode 24 of the thin film transistor 201, and the drain electrode 22 of the thin film transistor 201 is electrically connected to the anode of the light-emitting unit 101, that is, the first photosensitive area 301 is electrically connected to the anode layer 2 of the corresponding light-emitting unit 101 through the thin film transistor 201, and the second photosensitive area 302 is electrically connected to the cathode layer 3. When the OLED display panel 100 is used under the condition of sufficient external light, since the first photosensitive area 301 and the second photosensitive area 302 can convert light energy into electrical signals under the action of external light, additional voltage signals are provided for the anode layer 2 and the cathode layer 3 in the corresponding light-emitting unit 101, thereby increasing the number of holes in the anode layer 2 and the electrons in the cathode layer 3, so that the brightness of the corresponding light-emitting layer 1 is improved, which is beneficial to improving the display effect of the display device.
