The self-luminous element, namely the OLED device, is mainly composed of an anode layer, an organic material functional layer (usually including an electron transport layer, a light-emitting layer, and a hole transport layer) and a cathode layer, which are arranged away from the substrate in sequence. In the related art, in order to improve the performance, brightness and life of the display panel, an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) device with more than two light-emitting layers stacked is introduced, namely tandem OLED, which uses a charge generation layer (CGL) to connect the upper and lower light-emitting layers in series to achieve the effect of light superposition on the device, and successfully improve important optoelectronic performance parameters such as current efficiency, output brightness, and operating life.

[0055] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative position relationship may also change accordingly.
[0057] In the related art, the CGL charge generation layer is a commonly used charge generation technology, which is usually composed of two parts, namely a photosensitive material layer and a carrier transport layer. The photosensitive material layer is responsible for photoelectric conversion, converting light energy into electrical energy; the carrier transport layer is responsible for transferring the generated charge from the photosensitive material layer to the light-emitting layer connected thereto, and the two cooperate with each other to jointly realize the generation and transmission of charges. The currently commonly used CGL layer is usually formed by doping metal lithium (Li) or metal ytterbium (Yb) in an electron transport material (ETL), but due to the strong metallic activity and diffusion ability of Li, the conductivity of the CGL layer is relatively high, which is easy to cause lateral crosstalk between pixels. In the prior art, the CGL layer is isolated by adding an undercut partition structure, but the partition structure is prone to cause problems such as uneven electric field distribution within the pixel and increased edge stray light.
[0058] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a display substrate, which includes a plurality of light-emitting units arranged in an array, and the display panel can be divided into a plurality of pixel areas AA and a spacing area PA filled between the pixel areas AA. For example, the plurality of pixel areas AA are arranged in an array, and the spacing area PA is a grid structure filled between the pixel area AA arrays. Specifically, refer to Figures 1a to 1d , the display substrate includes: a base substrate 1, and a first electrode layer 2, a pixel defining layer 3, a multi-layer light-emitting layer 4, a connection layer 5 arranged in two adjacent light-emitting layers, and a second electrode layer 6, which are sequentially arranged on the base substrate 1. For the sake of convenience, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, only two light-emitting layers 4 are taken as an example, and the two light-emitting layers are respectively referred to as a first light-emitting layer 41 and a second light-emitting layer 42. The first light-emitting layer 41 is closer to the base substrate 1 than the second light-emitting layer 42. Correspondingly, a connection layer 5 is arranged between the two light-emitting layers 41 / 42. Specifically, the first electrode layer 2 includes a first electrode 21 of a plurality of light-emitting units. The pixel defining layer 3 includes a pixel opening 32 located in the pixel area AA, and a pixel retaining wall 31 located in the spacing area PA. One pixel opening 32 corresponds to one first electrode 21, and at least part of the first electrode 21 is exposed. The first light-emitting layer 41 covers the pixel defining layer 3, the connection layer 5 covers the first light-emitting layer 41, and the second light-emitting layer 42 covers the connection layer 5. The second electrode layer 6 includes the second electrode of each light-emitting unit.
[0059] It should be noted that the junction position of the pixel retaining wall 31 and the pixel opening 32 is the junction of the pixel area AA and the spacing area PA, and the portion of the light-emitting layer located at the pixel opening 32 (i.e., the portion of the light-emitting layer located at the pixel area AA) is used as the light-emitting portion of the light-emitting unit. Taking the display substrate including the first light-emitting layer 41 and the second light-emitting layer 42 as an example, each light-emitting unit includes a first light-emitting portion and a second light-emitting portion, the first light-emitting portion is the portion of the first light-emitting layer 41 in the pixel opening 32 corresponding to the light-emitting unit, and the second light-emitting portion is the portion of the second light-emitting layer 42 in the pixel opening 32 corresponding to the light-emitting unit.
[0060] In particular, the display substrate of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a blocking member 8 located between the pixel blocking wall 31 and one of the multi-layer light-emitting layers 4 closest to the base substrate 1, and the blocking member 8 has a first groove portion 82 that at least partially penetrates along its thickness direction. The blocking member 8 is used to block light, heat and ions, so as to avoid affecting the light-emitting unit when the display substrate is subsequently subjected to laser irradiation or ion implantation. It should be noted that the laser irradiation or ion implantation treatment of the connection layer 5 can affect the photosensitive material layer or the carrier transport layer in the connection layer 5, thereby reducing the conductivity of the connection layer 5, so that the conductivity of the treated connection layer 5 is less than the conductivity of the untreated connection layer 5. Here, preferably, the connection layer 5 located in the first groove portion 82 can be treated so that the conductivity of the connection layer 5 located in the first groove portion 82 is less than the conductivity of the connection layer 5 located in the pixel area AA, thereby avoiding lateral crosstalk between pixels.
[0061] In some examples, reference Figure 1b , the thickness h1 of the blocking member 8 is greater than two-thirds of the total thickness h2 of each light-emitting layer 4 and each connecting layer 5, and is greater than one-half of the distance d1 between the first electrode layer 2 and the one of the multiple connecting layers 5 that is farthest from the base substrate 1. Take the display substrate including two stacked light-emitting layers 4 and one connecting layer 5 as an example, the two light-emitting layers 4 are the first light-emitting layer 41 and the second light-emitting layer 42, and the former is closer to the base substrate 1 than the latter. In this embodiment, h2 is the total thickness of the first light-emitting layer 41, the second light-emitting layer 42 and the connecting layer 5, and d1 is the distance between the first electrode layer 2 and the connecting layer 5. Setting h1>2 / 3*h2 can ensure that the blocking member 8 can block most of the ions and heat to prevent them from diffusing and affecting the light-emitting unit, and setting h1>1 / 2*d1 can ensure that the connecting layer 5 located above the blocking member 8 has enough length to consume the diffused ions, prevent the diffused ions from affecting the connecting layer 5 located in the pixel area AA, and reduce its conductivity. In some examples, the material of the blocking member 8 may be an inorganic film with a thermal conductivity of less than 8 W / m*K or other insulating and heat-isolating materials, such as photoresist.
[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 1b, the first groove portion 82 located in the blocking member 8, its longitudinal section along the thickness direction of the display substrate includes a first side P1 and a second side P2 arranged opposite to each other, and a connecting bottom P3 connecting the first side P1 and the second side P2. In some examples, the angle α1 between the first side P1 and the connecting bottom P3 is 100° to 120°, and / or, the angle α2 between the second side P2 and the connecting bottom P3 is 100° to 120°. It can be understood that the shape of the longitudinal section of the first groove portion 82 is a trapezoid, the length of the upper base is greater than the length of the lower base, the first side P1 and the second side P2 are the two waists of the trapezoid, the connecting bottom P3 is the lower base of the trapezoid, the angle between the first side P1 and the connecting bottom P3, and the angle between the second side P2 and the connecting bottom P3 are the two bottom angles of the trapezoid. Preferably, it can be set to an isosceles trapezoid, that is, the length of the first side P1 is equal to the length of the second side P2. More preferably, the bottom angle can be set to 120°, which can reduce the area of the spacing area PA and form a gentler slope to prevent other film layers in the first groove portion 82, such as the connecting layer 5 and the light-emitting layer 4, from breaking when climbing the slope.
[0063] In some examples, the ratio of the depth of the first groove 82 to the thickness of the blocking member 8 is 0.8 to 1. In one example, the first groove 82 may penetrate the blocking member 8 along its thickness direction. Figure 1a-1b As shown, at this time, the ratio of the depth of the first groove 82 to the thickness of the blocking member 8 is 1, and the blocking member 8 is divided into two sub-blocking members 81 arranged opposite to each other on the left and right. This arrangement can simplify the preparation process. For example, when etching the first groove 82 on the blocking member 8, it is not necessary to accurately etch the depth, and the processing speed is fast. In another example, the first groove 82 can also partially penetrate the blocking member 8 along its thickness direction, such as Figure 1c-1d As shown, at this time, the blocking member 8 includes not only two sub-blocking members 81 arranged opposite to each other, but also a sub-blocking portion 83 connecting the two. The longitudinal section of the sub-blocking portion 83 is also a trapezoid. At this time, the upper bottom of the sub-blocking portion is the connecting bottom edge of the first groove portion 82. The ratio of the thickness h3 of the sub-blocking portion to the thickness h1 of the blocking member 8 is less than 0.2 to ensure a good blocking effect. The setting of the sub-blocking portion 83 can increase the distance between the connecting layer 5 and the base substrate 1. Under the premise that the diffusion range of ions and heat is the same, the contact surface of the processed connecting layer 5 is reduced, thereby preventing ions and heat from affecting the connecting layer 5 located in the pixel area AA. In addition, through the connection of the sub-blocking portion 83, the supporting effect of the blocking member 8 can be improved, thereby improving the pressure resistance of the display substrate, and further improving the reliability and service life of the display device.
[0064] In some examples, continue to refer to Figure 1bThe width w1 of the first groove 82 at the half depth position is less than two-thirds of the distance d2 between two adjacent first electrodes 21, that is, w1<2 / 3*d2. In this way, the orthographic projections of the first groove 82 and the first electrode 21 on the substrate 1 can be controlled to have no overlap, thereby avoiding the injected ions or laser from affecting the carriers in the first electrode layer 2 and reducing its conductivity.
[0065] In some examples, the orthographic projection of the pixel retaining wall 31 on the substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the blocking member 8 on the substrate 1, and the distance between the edges of the two is a first distance d3, and the first distance d3 is greater than zero. Preferably, the centers of the pixel retaining wall 31 and the blocking member 8 coincide, so as to form a symmetrical pattern and improve the neatness and aesthetics of the circuit layout. The junction of the pixel retaining wall 31 and the pixel opening 32 in the pixel defining layer 3 is the junction of the pixel area AA and the spacing area PA. The blocking member 8 is arranged in the spacing area PA, and a certain distance (i.e., the first distance d3) is set between the edge of the blocking member 8 and the edge of the spacing area PA in order to leave a certain buffer space to avoid the reduction of the area of the pixel area AA and the decrease of the aperture ratio due to the displacement of the blocking member 8. In some examples, the orthographic projection of the first electrode 21 on the substrate 1 overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the blocking member 8 on the substrate 1. Here, it can be understood that the orthographic projection of the first electrode 21 on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the pixel retaining wall 31 on the substrate 1 must have an overlapping part. However, it should be noted that, although the first electrode 21 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the blocking member 8, the orthographic projection of the first electrode 21 does not overlap with the first groove portion 82. The first electrode 21 is used to provide carriers for the display substrate, so if conditions permit, the larger the first electrode 21 is, the more carriers it has and the better the conductivity. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first electrode 21 not only covers the pixel area AA, but also covers at least part of the spacing area PA, that is, the overlapping part with the pixel blocking wall 31.
[0066] In some embodiments, the display substrate further includes an isolation layer 9 disposed between the first light emitting layer 41 and the blocking member 8, Figure 2 , the isolation layer 9 covers the blocking member 8 and part of the pixel retaining wall 31. In one example, the isolation layer 9 is used to isolate the heat generated by laser irradiation to prevent the heat from diffusing into the first light-emitting layer 41 and affecting the display effect. In this example, the material constituting the isolation layer 9 may include a heat-insulating material, such as glass fiber, asbestos, rock wool, silicate, aerogel felt, vacuum board, etc. In another example, the isolation layer 9 is used to isolate the ions diffused during ion implantation to prevent the ions from diffusing into the first light-emitting layer 41 and causing corrosion, thereby affecting the life of the device. In this example, the material constituting the isolation layer 9 may include a material that blocks ion diffusion, such as polyethylene, fluoroplastics, ceramics, etc.
[0067] In some examples, the display substrate further includes a first through hole 102 provided with a heat conducting structure 101, Figure 2 , the first through hole 102 penetrates the pixel blocking wall 31 along the thickness direction of the pixel blocking wall 31, and the orthographic projection of the first through hole 102 on the substrate substrate 1 is covered by the orthographic projection of the first groove 82 on the substrate substrate 1, and further, the orthographic projection of the first through hole 102 on the substrate substrate 1 is covered by the orthographic projection of the bottom surface of the first groove 82 on the substrate substrate. The heat-conducting structure 101 fills the first through hole 102, and the heat-conducting structure 101 is used to quickly conduct the heat generated during laser irradiation to the substrate substrate 1, and then the substrate substrate 1 diffuses the heat to the external environment. The material of the heat-conducting structure 101 may include silicon carbide, diamond, graphite, ceramics, plastics, etc.
[0068] In some examples, reference Figure 1a to Figure 2 , the display substrate further includes an encapsulation layer 7 disposed on the side of the second electrode layer 6 away from the base substrate 1. The material of the encapsulation layer 7 may include insulating materials such as silicon oxynitride (SiON), silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), and polymer resins. Inorganic materials such as silicon oxynitride (SiON), silicon oxide (SiOx), and silicon nitride (SiNx) have high density and can prevent the intrusion of water, oxygen, etc.; the material of the organic encapsulation layer 7 may be a polymer material containing a desiccant or a polymer material that can block water vapor, such as a polymer resin, etc., to planarize the surface of the display substrate, and may also include a desiccant and other water-absorbing materials to absorb water, oxygen, and other substances that invade the interior.
