Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and a display device. Background Art

[0002] Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) devices have the characteristics of low power consumption, fast response speed, and wide viewing angle, and have been widely used in people's lives. To further improve the efficiency and lifespan of OLED devices, tandem light-emitting technology (Tandem) has come into being. In Tandem OLED, different light-emitting materials and structures are usually used to construct a multi-layer structure. Each layer can emit light of a specific wavelength. These lights can be combined through proper design and control to form a brighter and richer color display.

[0003] Currently, a charge generation layer (CGL) is often added to stacked organic light-emitting diode devices to improve device performance. However, the CGL has strong charge generation and separation capabilities and strong electrical conductivity. When only one color is lit, other colors may be accidentally excited by pixels that should not be lit, affecting the display effect. Generally, the phenomenon of stealing light between adjacent pixels is avoided by isolating the entire light-emitting layer. However, when the light-emitting layer is isolated, the electrical contact between the cathode and the light-emitting layer is interrupted, and the cathode signal cannot be transmitted normally, which in turn increases the cathode impedance and the power consumption of the device.

[0049] In an embodiment, the display panel 1 can be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, and the display panel 1 includes a substrate 11, a pixel definition layer 12, an isolation structure 13, and a light-emitting device layer 14.

[0050] The substrate 11 can be an array substrate, and the substrate 11 includes a first substrate 111, a first shielding layer 112, a second substrate 113, a second shielding layer 114, and a driving circuit layer 115 which are arranged in a stack; wherein the first substrate 111 and the second substrate 113 can each include one of a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate, when the first substrate 111 and the second substrate 113 are both rigid substrates, the material can be metal or glass, and when the first substrate 111 and the second substrate 113 are both flexible substrates, the material can include at least one of acrylic resin, methacrylic resin, polyisoprene, vinyl resin, epoxy-based resin, polyurethane-based resin, cellulose resin, siloxane resin, polyimide-based resin, and polyamide-based resin, which is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.

[0052] The driving circuit layer 115 further includes a thin film transistor 1157, and the thin film transistor 1157 includes an active layer, a first gate, a second gate, a source, and a drain; wherein the active layer is disposed between the buffer layer 1151 and the first gate insulating layer 1152, the first gate is disposed between the first gate insulating layer 1152 and the second gate insulating layer 1153, the second gate is disposed between the second gate insulating layer 1153 and the first planar layer 1155, and the source and the drain are disposed between the interlayer insulating layer 1154 and the first planar layer 1155; wherein the driving circuit layer 115 further includes a transfer line disposed on the first organic planar layer away from the interlayer insulating layer 1154 and overlapping with the drain, and the transfer line is used to connect the drain with the light-emitting device layer 14 to realize signal transmission.

[0053] The pixel definition layer 12 is arranged on the side of the second flat layer 1156 away from the first flat layer 1155, and the pixel definition layer 12 includes a pixel opening 121 area 1201 and a non-opening area 1202 arranged between two adjacent pixel opening 121 areas 1201. The non-opening area 1202 is located on at least one side of the pixel opening 121 area 1201. If the non-opening area 1202 is located between two adjacent pixel opening 121 areas 1201, the non-opening area 1202 can be arranged around the pixel opening 121 area 1201; specifically, the pixel definition layer 12 includes a plurality of pixel openings 121, and the pixel openings 121 are correspondingly arranged in the pixel opening 121 area 1201 of the pixel definition layer 12. The pixel opening 121 area 1201 corresponding to the pixel opening 121 can be the luminous pixel area of ​​the display panel 1, and the display of the panel is achieved by arranging pixels of different colors in different pixel openings 121.

[0054] The isolation structure 13 is disposed on a side of the pixel definition layer 12 away from the substrate 11 , and the isolation structure 13 is located within the non-opening area 1202 .

[0055] The light-emitting device layer 14 includes a first electrode layer 141, a light-emitting layer 142, and a second electrode layer 143, which are stacked. The first electrode layer 141 is provided between the second planar layer 1156 and the pixel definition layer 12. The first electrode layer 141 includes a plurality of first electrodes 1411. Each first electrode 1411 is provided corresponding to each pixel opening 121, and at least a portion of the first electrode 1411 is exposed in the pixel opening 121. The first electrode layer 141 can be an anode layer, and the first electrode 1411 can be an anode. The first electrode 1411 can be connected to the drain; the light-emitting layer 142 is arranged on the pixel definition layer 12 and covers the isolation structure 13, the light-emitting layer 142 is arranged on the first electrode 1411 and at least part of the light-emitting layer 142 is located in the pixel opening 121; the second electrode layer 143 can be a cathode layer, the second electrode layer 143 is arranged on the side of the light-emitting layer 142 away from the first electrode layer 141, the second electrode layer 143 is arranged as a whole layer, and the second electrode layer 143 is continuously arranged at the isolation structure 13.

[0056] The isolation structure 13 includes a first isolation portion 131 and a second isolation portion 132 that are separately arranged. The light-emitting layer 142 is continuously arranged at the location of the first isolation portion 131 , and is disconnected at the location of the second isolation portion 132 .

[0057] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 ;in, Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a display panel in the related technology; in the related design, the display panel 2 includes a substrate 21, and a pixel definition layer 22 and a light-emitting device layer 23 stacked on the substrate 21, and the light-emitting device layer 23 includes a stacked anode 231, a light-emitting layer 232 and a cathode 233; wherein, in order to avoid the phenomenon of stealing light between adjacent pixels, in the related design, a blocking layer 24 is provided in the non-opening portion of the pixel definition layer 22, and the blocking layer 24 may include a first blocking portion 241 and a second blocking portion 242, and the light-emitting layer 232 is disconnected in both the first blocking portion 241 and the second blocking portion 242, thereby preventing the charge in the adjacent pixel from flowing laterally into another pixel.

[0058] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that in the display panel 2, since the light-emitting layer 232 is disconnected in both the first blocking portion 241 and the second blocking portion 242, the cathode signal is isolated in both the first blocking portion 241 and the second blocking portion 242, which causes the charge to pass through a larger resistance path during horizontal transmission, thereby increasing the impedance of the cathode 233. A higher cathode impedance means that a larger driving voltage is required to achieve the required brightness, thereby increasing the power consumption of the entire screen.

[0059] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the second electrode layer 143 is continuously set at the isolation structure 13, and the isolation structure 13 includes a first isolation portion 131 and a second isolation portion 132 that are separately set. The light-emitting layer 142 is continuously set at the position where the first isolation portion 131 is located, so that the electrical signal can be transmitted laterally at the first isolation portion 131, maintaining a lower impedance path, so that the voltage when the driving current passes through the second electrode layer 143 is reduced, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the display panel 1; and, by setting the light-emitting layer 142 to be disconnected at the position where the second isolation portion 132 is located, the charge transfer path between adjacent pixels can be isolated, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of cross-pixel stealing.

[0060] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 4 ;in, Figure 4 Provided in the embodiments of this application Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the second enlarged structure at A in the middle.

[0061] In one embodiment, the light-emitting layer 142 includes a first light-emitting portion 1421, a charge generation layer 1422 and a second light-emitting portion 1423 that are stacked; wherein, the first light-emitting portion 1421, the charge generation layer 1422 and the second light-emitting portion 1423 are continuously arranged at the position where the first isolation portion 131 is located, and the first light-emitting portion 1421, the charge generation layer 1422 and the second light-emitting portion 1423 are disconnected at the position where the second isolation portion 132 is located.

[0062] It should be noted that in order to further improve the efficiency and life of OLED devices, the tandem light emitting technology (Tandem) came into being. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 ;in, Figure 5 is another structural schematic diagram of a display panel in the related art; Figure 6 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a light-emitting device in the related art; Figure 7 It is another equivalent circuit diagram of a light-emitting device in the related art.

[0063] In the related art, the display panel 3 can be an OLED light-emitting device, which includes a stacked anode 31, a hole transport layer 32, a first light-emitting layer 33, an n-type charge generation layer 34, a p-type charge generation layer 35, a second light-emitting layer 36 and a cathode 37; since the n-type charge generation layer 34 has a strong ability to generate and separate electrons, it is easy to cause the phenomenon of stealing light between adjacent pixels. Therefore, the related art often uses a bottom cut structure to isolate the n-type charge generation layer 34 between adjacent pixels to reduce the probability of stealing light. However, the isolation process is also easy to cause a short circuit between the n-type charge generation layer 34 and the cathode 37, affecting the display effect of the display panel 1.

[0064] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first light-emitting portion 1421, the charge generation layer 1422 and the second light-emitting portion 1423 are continuously arranged at the position where the first isolation portion 131 is located, and the second electrode layer 143 is continuously arranged at the isolation structure 13, thereby helping to ensure the continuity of the light-emitting layer 142 at the position where the first isolation portion 131 is located, and the second electrode layer 143 has good electrical contact with the light-emitting layer 142 at the position where the first isolation portion 131 is located, and the second electrode layer 143 does not contact the charge generation layer 1422 at the position where the first isolation portion 131 is located, thereby avoiding a short circuit between the charge generation layer 1422 and the second electrode layer 143, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 1.

[0065] Please combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 8 ;in, Figure 8 A schematic structural diagram of the isolation structure provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0066] In one embodiment, the width of the first isolation portion 131 away from the substrate 11 is greater than the width of the first isolation portion 131 close to the substrate 11; the width of the second isolation portion 132 away from the substrate 11 is less than the width of the second isolation portion 132 close to the substrate 11.

[0067] Specifically, in the direction from the substrate 11 to the isolation structure 13, the width of the first isolation portion 131 gradually decreases, and the cross-sectional shape of the first isolation portion 131 is a structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The narrower top design can reduce the risk of breakage of the light-emitting layer 142, and the light-emitting layer 142 can more easily cross the narrower part without being easily broken, which helps to ensure the continuity of the light-emitting layer 142 at the position where the first isolation portion 131 is located, and further helps to ensure good electrical contact between the second electrode layer 143 and the light-emitting layer 142 at the position where the first isolation portion 131 is located, thereby reducing the impedance of the second electrode layer 143 and optimizing the power consumption of the display panel 1; at the same time, the wider bottom design enables the first isolation portion 131 to have better structural support on the pixel definition layer 12, which helps to improve the stability of the structure.

[0068] In the direction from the substrate 11 to the isolation structure 13, the width of the second isolation portion 132 gradually increases, and the cross-sectional shape of the second isolation portion 132 is a structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, so that the second isolation portion 132 has a wider surface area at its top, thereby more effectively blocking the continuity of the light-emitting layer 142 at the position where the second isolation portion 132 is located, helping to ensure that the light-emitting layer 142 is disconnected at the position where the second isolation portion 132 is located, thereby effectively enhancing the isolation effect on lateral charges and further reducing the phenomenon of cross-pixel stealing.

[0069] Please continue to combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 11, the cross-sectional shape of the first isolation portion 131 includes but is not limited to a regular trapezoid, and the cross-sectional shape of the second isolation portion 132 includes but is not limited to an inverted trapezoid.

[0070] Specifically, the light-emitting layer 142 is arranged on the pixel definition layer 12 and covers the isolation structure 13, that is, during the production process of the display panel 1, the isolation structure 13 is produced first, and then the light-emitting layer 142 is produced; the first isolation portion 131 includes a first side surface 1311, a first bottom surface 1312 and a first top surface 1313, the first bottom surface 1312 is located on the side of the first isolation portion 131 close to the substrate 11, and the first top surface 1313 is located on the side of the first isolation portion 131 away from the substrate 11.

[0071] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, by being arranged in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 11, the shape of the cross section of the first isolation portion 131 includes but is not limited to a regular trapezoid, so that the light-emitting layer 142 can be well deposited at the corresponding positions of the first side surface 1311 and the first top surface 1313 of the first isolation portion 131, and there will be no local thinning or breakage, thereby ensuring the reliability of the continuous arrangement of the light-emitting layer 142 at the position of the first isolation portion 131.

[0072] The second isolation portion 132 includes a second side surface 1321 , a second bottom surface 1322 , and a second top surface 1323 . The second bottom surface 1322 is located on a side of the second isolation portion 132 close to the substrate 11 , and the second top surface 1323 is located on a side of the first isolation portion 131 away from the substrate 11 .

[0073] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, by being arranged in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 11, the shape of the cross section of the second isolation portion 132 includes but is not limited to an inverted trapezoid, so that the light-emitting layer 142 can only be deposited at the corresponding position of the second top surface 1323 of the second isolation portion 132, that is, the light-emitting layer 142 is disconnected at the connection between the second side surface 1321 and the first top surface 1313, thereby ensuring that the light-emitting layer 142 is disconnected at the second isolation portion 132, and effectively preventing the charge transfer path between adjacent pixels through physical isolation.

[0074] Please continue to combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, there is a first angle α between the first side surface 1311 and the first bottom surface 1312, and the first angle α is an acute angle; there is a second angle β between the second side surface 1321 and the second bottom surface 1322, and the second angle β is an obtuse angle.

[0075] Specifically, the first angle α can be the slope angle of the first side surface 1311 of the first isolation portion 131, and the range of the first angle α is greater than or equal to 55 degrees and less than or equal to 75 degrees; it can be understood that in this embodiment, the first angle α is an acute angle. By controlling the size of the first angle α, the first side surface 1311 can be made more inclined or steeper, so that the luminescent material can be better extended along the first side surface 1311 during deposition, reducing the pushing of the luminescent material on the first side surface 1311, and avoiding the phenomenon that the luminescent layer 142 is locally too thin or broken at the edge or sharp transition of the first isolation portion 131.

[0076] The second angle β can be the slope angle of the second side surface 1321 of the second isolation portion 132, and the range of the second angle β is greater than or equal to 100 degrees and less than or equal to 120 degrees; it can be understood that in this embodiment, the second angle β is an obtuse angle. By controlling the size of the second angle β, the width of the second top surface 1323 can be controlled, and then the size of the disconnection area of ​​the second isolation portion 132 corresponding to the light-emitting layer 142 can be controlled, so as to form a more effective isolation structure 13, thereby further preventing the lateral diffusion of charges.

[0077] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the spacing H1 between the side of the first isolation portion 131 away from the pixel definition layer 12 and the pixel definition layer 12 is greater than or equal to 1.2 microns and less than or equal to 1.8 microns; the spacing H2 between the side of the second isolation portion 132 away from the pixel definition layer 12 and the pixel definition layer 12 is greater than or equal to 1 micron and less than or equal to 2 microns; the spacing H2 between the side of the second isolation portion 132 away from the pixel definition layer 12 and the pixel definition layer 12 is greater than or equal to the spacing H1 between the side of the first isolation portion 131 away from the pixel definition layer 12 and the pixel definition layer 12, thereby improving the ability of the second isolation portion 132 to block the light-emitting layer 14.

[0078] It should be noted that, compared to the case where the isolation structure 13 is not provided, this embodiment provides the light-emitting layer 142 continuously at the position of the first isolation portion 131, and there is a first angle α between the first side surface 1311 and the first bottom surface 1312 of the first isolation portion 131. Then, the path that can be extended by providing the first isolation portion 131 is 2×(H1 / tan(α)).

[0079] Wherein, H1 is the thickness of the first isolation portion 131, and α is the first angle α between the first side surface 1311 and the first bottom surface 1312 of the first isolation portion 131; wherein, this embodiment takes the thickness of the first isolation portion 131 as 1.5 microns and the first angle α between the first side surface 1311 and the first bottom surface 1312 of the first isolation portion 131 as 65 degrees as an example to illustrate the technical solution of the present application, that is, the path that the first isolation portion 131 can be extended is 2×(1.5 / tan(65°))=1.5 microns.

[0080] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the second electrode layer 143 is continuously arranged at the isolation structure 13, and the isolation structure 13 includes a first isolation portion 131 and a second isolation portion 132 that are separately arranged. The light-emitting layer 142 is continuously arranged at the position where the first isolation portion 131 is located, thereby extending the charge transmission path of the light-emitting layer 142 at the position where the first isolation portion 131 is located, thereby hindering the lateral charge transmission.

[0081] At the same time, by arranging the first isolation portion 131 on the side of the pixel definition layer 12 away from the substrate 11, the first isolation portion 131 is located in the non-opening area 1202, so that the width of the non-opening portion of the pixel definition layer 12 can be changed by controlling the width of the first isolation portion 131, thereby adjusting the pixel density of the display panel 1, for example, increasing the high-resolution WQ level PDL Gap to FHD+, or reducing the width (gap) of the non-opening area 1202 domain of the pixel definition layer 12 from the design standard of WQ resolution to the design standard of FHD+ resolution, or reducing the width (gap) of the non-opening area 1202 domain of the pixel definition layer 12 from the design standard of FHD+ resolution to the design standard of FHD resolution, which helps to reduce pixel density, reduce manufacturing cost and difficulty, and at the same time improve the problems of crosstalk and light leakage between two adjacent pixels.

[0082] See also Figure 9 , is a schematic top view of the display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0083] In one embodiment, the display panel 1 includes a plurality of sub-pixels 15 and a plurality of the isolation structures 13; wherein, a plurality of the isolation structures 13 are arranged around at least one of the sub-pixels 15, and in the plurality of the isolation structures 13 and the corresponding sub-pixel 15, the first isolation portion 131 is located on the side of the second isolation portion 132 away from the sub-pixel 15, or the first isolation portion 131 is located on the side of the second isolation portion 132 close to the sub-pixel 15, thereby reducing the lateral leakage phenomenon, that is, the charge unnecessarily flows into the pixel area that should not be bright, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the display; at the same time, by setting the position of the first isolation portion 131, it can be ensured that the second electrode layer 143 and the light-emitting layer 142 have good electrical contact, thereby reducing the impedance of the second electrode layer 143 and improving the luminous efficiency of the display panel 1.

[0084] The plurality of isolation structures 13 may be disposed on a plurality of adjacent virtual quadrilaterals 16 and arranged in a honeycomb lattice. Each isolation structure 13 is disposed at a vertex of the virtual quadrilateral 16 , and at least one sub-pixel 15 is correspondingly disposed at the center of a virtual quadrilateral 16 .

[0085] Specifically, the display panel 1 includes a plurality of first sub-pixels 151 displaying a first color, a plurality of second sub-pixels 152 displaying a second color, and a plurality of third sub-pixels 153 displaying a third color, and the first color, the second color, and the third color are all different; this embodiment takes the first color being red, the second color being green, and the third color being blue as an example to illustrate the technical solution of the present application.

[0086] Multiple isolation structures 13 are arranged around a first sub-pixel 151, and the first isolation portion 131 is located on the side of the second isolation portion 132 close to the first sub-pixel 151; multiple isolation structures 13 are arranged around a second sub-pixel 152, and the first isolation portion 131 is located on the side of the second isolation portion 132 away from the second sub-pixel 152; multiple isolation structures 13 are arranged around a third sub-pixel 153, and the first isolation portion 131 is located on the side of the second isolation portion 132 close to the third sub-pixel 153; wherein the luminous efficiency of the second sub-pixel 152 is greater than the luminous efficiency of any one of the first sub-pixel 151 and the third sub-pixel 153.

[0087] It can be understood that since the luminous efficiency of the second sub-pixel 152 is greater than the luminous efficiency of any one of the first sub-pixel 151 and the third sub-pixel 153, by setting the first isolation portion 131 at a position close to the high-efficiency sub-pixel 15 (the second sub-pixel 152), the flow of charge and light can be better controlled, and the excessive luminescence of the high-efficiency sub-pixel 15 can be reduced, thereby balancing the overall display brightness; and setting the first isolation portion 131 at a position away from the inefficient sub-pixel 15 (such as the first sub-pixel 151 and the third sub-pixel 153) can increase the luminous flux of these areas, compensate for their lower luminous efficiency, and achieve overall brightness balance. That is, this embodiment can make the brightness and color performance of the entire panel more uniform by adjusting the luminous amount and efficiency of each color sub-pixel 15, thereby avoiding display unevenness caused by differences in the luminous efficiency of sub-pixels 15 of different colors.
