[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0035] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "height", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside". Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a position flip or a change in posture or a change in motion state, then these directional indications also change accordingly, for example: an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features". Therefore, the example term "below..." can include both above and below orientations. The device can be oriented otherwise (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0036] In the description of the present application, “plurality” means two or more.

[0037] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the electrical connection failure between multiple driving metal layers in the GDL region affects the normal display of the display device, the present application provides a display panel 100, which includes a display area 10 and a non-display area.

[0038] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the non-display area surrounds the outside of the display area 10, and the non-display area includes: a gate driving area 20 and a barrier wall area 30, the barrier wall area 30 is arranged outside the gate driving area 20, and the barrier wall area 30 is configured to consume water vapor in the non-display area to prevent water vapor from entering the gate driving area 20. For example, the barrier wall area 30 is arranged outside the gate driving area 20 in the width direction, and the barrier wall area 30 can be arranged on both sides of the gate driving area 20 in the width direction.

[0039] It should be noted that the gate drive region 20 refers to a region where a GDL (gate driver less) is provided. The gate drive region 20 has a plurality of drive metal layers and an ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) layer disposed at intervals. The plurality of drive metal layers are electrically connected through the ITO layer to generate capacitance. However, in a high temperature and high humidity environment, water vapor easily enters the interior of the display panel 100 from the edge, causing the electrical connection between the drive metal layer and the ITO layer to fail.

[0040] Based on this, after performing failure analysis, it was shown that the ITO layer covering the driving metal layer was not dense, causing the water vapor entering the display panel 100 to pass through the ITO layer and contact the driving metal layer, causing the driving metal layer to be corroded and causing electrical connection failure, which in turn affects the normal display of the display device. If the hole-turning method is changed to a direct bridge method, static electricity cannot be effectively released, resulting in other display problems. If the process capability is improved to improve the density of the ITO layer, the density of the ITO layer cannot be fully improved due to the limited improvement in the process capability. In addition, if a simple physical method is used to block, since the water vapor molecules are small, the physical blocking method is incomplete, and the blocking material and process requirements are high, the blocking effect is poor.

[0041] Since the water vapor enters from the outside of the display panel 100 and flows to the inside, the embodiment of the present application is provided with a barrier wall region 30, which is provided on the outside of the gate driving region 20, that is, after the water vapor enters the display panel 100, it will first contact the barrier wall region 30, and the water vapor flows from the barrier wall region 30 to the gate driving region 20, and the barrier wall region 30 consumes the water vapor in the non-display area to prevent the water vapor from entering the gate driving region 20. That is, the barrier wall region 30 can reduce the amount of water vapor in the non-display area, thereby preventing the water vapor from entering the gate driving region 20.

[0042] Therefore, by setting a retaining wall area 30 at the periphery of the gate driving area, the water vapor in the environment is blocked by the retaining wall area 30. Before entering the gate driving area 20, the water vapor needs to pass through the retaining wall area to enter the gate driving area 20, so as to increase the difficulty of the water vapor entering the gate driving area 20, and the water vapor will be consumed in the retaining wall area 30 to reduce the amount of water vapor, thereby further preventing the water vapor from entering the gate driving area 20, which plays a role in improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the driving metal layer and the ITO layer, ensuring that the effective signal of the gate driving area 20 is not interfered with, and improving the display effect of the display device.

[0043] In some embodiments, the retaining wall region 30 includes a conductive layer 37 and a metal layer stacked and electrically connected along the first direction A, and at least one of the conductive layer 37 and the metal layer is configured to electrochemically react with water vapor to consume the water vapor. Figure 2 As shown, the first direction A is perpendicular to the surface of the display panel 100. A galvanic effect can be generated between the metal layer and the water vapor, and a chemical reaction can be generated to consume the water vapor, thereby preventing the water vapor from entering the gate driving area 20 and ensuring the display effect.

[0044] In some embodiments, the metal layer includes a first metal layer 31, and the height of the first metal layer 31 along the first direction A is greater than the total height of the gate driving region 20 along the first direction A. For example, the retaining wall region 30 includes a substrate 38, and the substrate 38 and the first metal layer 31 are respectively arranged on both sides of the retaining wall region 30 along the direction in which the conductive layer 37 and the metal layer are stacked, and the "height of the first metal layer 31 along the direction in which the conductive layer 37 and the metal layer are stacked" refers to the distance between the side of the substrate 38 away from the first metal layer 31 and the side of the first metal layer 31 away from the substrate 38.

[0045] Therefore, on the one hand, the space of the non-display area can be reasonably utilized, and the height of the retaining wall area 30 can be increased to improve the shielding effect of water vapor; on the other hand, the height of the first metal layer 31 is relatively high, and the water vapor can chemically react with the conductive layer 37 at the first metal layer 31 and be consumed, so as to further prevent the water vapor from entering the gate drive area 20.

[0046] Furthermore, the first metal layer 31 is located at the outermost side of the barrier region 30 , so that water vapor will preferentially contact the first metal layer 31 after entering the display panel 100 , thereby reducing the amount of water vapor.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the metal layer further includes: a second metal layer 32, the second metal layer 32 is located inside the first metal layer 31, and the height of the first metal layer 31 along the first direction A is greater than the height of the second metal layer 32 along the first direction A. Thus, the first metal layer 31 and the second metal layer 32 can chemically react with water vapor at different heights to consume water vapor at different heights through chemical reactions, thereby reducing the amount of water vapor and preventing water vapor from entering the gate driving region 20.

[0048] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the metal layer may further include: a third metal layer 33 , wherein the heights of the first metal layer 31 , the second metal layer 32 , and the third metal layer 33 decrease sequentially along the first direction A, and the third metal layer 33 is located inside the second metal layer 32 .

[0049] Therefore, after water vapor enters the retaining wall area 30, it can preferentially contact the conductive layer 37 and the first metal layer 31 to undergo a chemical reaction to consume the first layer; then contact the conductive layer 37 and the second metal layer 32 to undergo a chemical reaction to consume the second layer; then contact the conductive layer 37 and the third metal layer 33 to undergo a chemical reaction to consume the third layer. The three metal layers are at different heights, so that no water vapor can enter the gate drive area 20 to ensure the display effect of the display device.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the retaining wall region 30 further includes: a first insulating layer 34, a second insulating layer 35, a third insulating layer 36 and a substrate 38 stacked in sequence along a first direction A, a conductive layer 37 connected to the first metal layer 31, the second metal layer 32 and the third metal layer 33 on the side away from the substrate 38, the first metal layer 31 is arranged on the side away from the substrate 38 of the first insulating layer 34. A first via hole 351 is arranged on the side away from the substrate 38 of the second metal layer 32, and a second via hole 361 is arranged on the side away from the substrate 38 of the third metal layer 33, and the conductive layer 37 is electrically connected to the second metal layer 32 and the third metal layer 33 through the first via hole 351 and the second via hole 361, respectively. For example, the first via hole 351 is located above the second metal layer 32, and the second via hole 361 is located above the third metal layer 33.

[0051] Therefore, by setting the first insulating layer 34, the second insulating layer 35 and the third insulating layer 36, it is possible to block water vapor, and the setting of the first via hole 351 and the second via hole 361 makes it easier for water vapor to accumulate at the first via hole 351 and the second via hole 361, thereby reducing the migration and diffusion of water vapor to the inner gate driving area 20. The setting of the first via hole 351 and the second via hole 361 can facilitate the release of static electricity to ensure the structural stability of the display device.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conductive layer 37 includes a first connecting segment 371, a second connecting segment 372, a transition segment 374 and a third connecting segment 373 which are connected in sequence. The first connecting segment 371 is connected to the first metal layer 31, the second connecting segment 372 is connected to the second metal layer 32, the third connecting segment 373 is connected to the third metal layer 33, and the second connecting segment 372 and the third connecting segment 373 are connected via the transition segment 374. For example, the first connecting segment 371 is fitted to the first metal layer 31 to increase the contact area between the two so as to facilitate a chemical reaction with water vapor; the second connecting segment 372 is fitted to the second metal layer 32 to increase the contact area between the two so as to facilitate a chemical reaction with water vapor; the third connecting segment 373 is connected to the third metal layer 33 to increase the contact area between the two so as to facilitate a chemical reaction with water vapor, and the second connecting segment 372 and the third connecting segment 373 are connected via the transition segment 374.

[0053] exist Figure 2 In the example of FIG. 3 , the transition section 374 is connected to the side of the second insulating layer 35 away from the substrate 38, so that the height of the middle part of the width direction of the retaining wall region 30 can be increased to improve the effect of blocking water vapor; or Figure 3In the example, the transition section 374 is connected to the side of the first insulating layer 34 away from the substrate 38, so that the conductive layer 37 can maintain a downward gradient, so that water vapor can more easily enter the first via hole 351, facilitate water vapor to be retained in the first via hole 351, and facilitate water vapor to undergo chemical reactions for consumption, so as to prevent water vapor from entering the gate drive area 20.

[0054] In some embodiments, the material of the metal layer is at least one of iron, zinc, aluminum, and magnesium. In order to make the retaining wall region 30 more likely to undergo an electrochemical reaction with water vapor, the material of the metal layer is set to one or more of iron, zinc, aluminum, and magnesium so that the metal layer can easily undergo an electrochemical reaction with water vapor, which can further prevent water vapor from entering the gate drive region 20, and the material of the driving metal layer is copper. Compared with copper, iron, zinc, aluminum, and magnesium are more likely to undergo an electrochemical reaction with water vapor. In addition, even if there is some water vapor inside the gate drive region 20, the chemical properties of the metal layer can be used to make the water vapor tend to undergo an electrochemical reaction with the metal layer, so as to protect the gate drive region 20.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple retaining wall regions 30, and the multiple retaining wall regions 30 are sequentially and serially connected along the display area 10, and / or the multiple retaining wall regions 30 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction of the display area 10 and connected in parallel. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when multiple retaining wall areas 30 are connected in series, the third metal layer 33 of each retaining wall area 30 can be connected in sequence to realize the series connection of multiple retaining wall areas 30 to form a retaining wall area group. Both ends of the retaining wall area group are third metal layers 33, wherein the third metal layer 33 at one end is connected to VGH (Vgatehigh, high potential), and the third metal layer 33 at the other end is connected to VGL (Vgatelow, low potential), and a loop wiring is added at the connection point to increase the resistance value and protect the VGH and VGL signal output points; after the water vapor contacts under the electromigration movement, the galvanic cell effect is generated between the metals, thereby consuming the water vapor. In this way, the water vapor consumption and the water vapor blocking effect can be increased to ensure the display effect of the display device. Or, as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, multiple retaining wall areas 30 are connected in parallel along the circumferential direction of the display area 30, so that when a single retaining wall area fails, it will not affect other retaining wall areas. Furthermore, multiple retaining wall areas 30 are sequentially and serially connected along the display area 10, and multiple retaining wall areas 30 are sequentially arranged and connected in parallel along the circumferential direction of the display area 10. For example, multiple retaining wall areas 30 are connected in parallel along the circumferential direction of the display area 10, and each of the above retaining wall areas 30 is connected in series with multiple retaining wall areas along the width direction or length direction (perpendicular to the first direction A) of the display area 10 to ensure the display effect of the display device.

[0056] The present application also provides a display device, which includes the above-mentioned display panel 100. By setting a retaining wall area 30 at the periphery of the gate driving area, the water vapor in the environment is blocked by the retaining wall area 30. Before entering the gate driving area 20, the water vapor needs to pass through the retaining wall area to enter the gate driving area 20, so as to increase the difficulty of the water vapor entering the gate driving area 20, and the water vapor will be consumed in the retaining wall area 30 to reduce the amount of water vapor, thereby further preventing the water vapor from entering the gate driving area 20, which plays a role in improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the driving metal layer and the ITO layer, ensuring that the effective signal of the gate driving area 20 is not interfered with, and improving the display effect of the display device.
