[0067] A third aspect of the present application provides a display device, comprising any of the above display panels or a display panel prepared by any of the above preparation methods.
[0068] The present application provides a display panel, a method for preparing a display panel, and a display device.

The isolation structure includes a first isolation portion and a second isolation portion arranged on the side of the first isolation portion away from the substrate.

In addition, the thickness of the first sub-parts of at least two packaging parts in each packaging part is different. In the process of preparing the light-emitting unit and the packaging part, the light-emitting unit and the packaging part corresponding to the first sub-part with the smallest thickness can be prepared first, reducing the contact area between the material of the first sub-part of the packaging part prepared earlier and the side wall of the first isolation part facing the isolation opening, and even making the material of the first sub-part not contact the side wall of the first isolation part. When the material of the first sub-part in the partial isolation opening is subsequently etched and removed, the material of the first sub-part in the partial isolation opening can be easily etched and removed, reducing the risk of the material of the first sub-part remaining on the side wall of the first isolation part corresponding to the partial isolation opening, thereby improving the overlap yield of the first electrode of the light-emitting unit prepared later and the corresponding first isolation part.

[0082] An embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, which may be an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel, or other types of display panels, such as a micro light emitting diode (Micro Light Emitting Diode, Micro-LED) or a quantum dot light emitting diode (Quantum Light Emitting Diode, QLED) display panel.
[0083] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a first aspect, the present application provides a display panel 100, comprising a substrate 10, an isolation structure 20, a light-emitting layer and a first encapsulation layer, wherein the isolation structure 20 is disposed on one side of the substrate 10 and encloses a plurality of isolation openings 21, the isolation structure 20 comprises a first isolation portion 22 and a second isolation portion 23 disposed on a side of the first isolation portion 22 away from the substrate 10, the orthographic projection of the first isolation portion 22 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 23 on the substrate 10; the light-emitting layer comprises a light-emitting unit 30 located in each isolation opening 21, The first electrode 31 is arranged on the side of the light-emitting unit 30 away from the substrate 10, and the first electrode 31 overlaps the first isolation portion 22; the first encapsulation layer includes an encapsulation portion 40 located on the side of each first electrode 31 away from the substrate 10, and the encapsulation portion 40 includes at least a first sub-portion 41 and a second sub-portion 42, the first sub-portion 41 covers the first electrode 31, and the second sub-portion 42 covers the first sub-portion 41, the density of the first sub-portion 41 is different from the density of the second sub-portion 42, and in each encapsulation portion 40, the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of at least two encapsulation portions 40 is different.
[0084] The substrate 10 includes a substrate and a driving circuit layer arranged on the substrate. The substrate can be a hard substrate made of materials such as glass or plastic, or a flexible substrate made of materials such as polyethersulfone (PES), polyacrylate (PAR), polyetherimide (PEI), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyarylate, polyimide (PI), polycarbonate (PC) or cellulose acetate propionate (CAP). A driving circuit for controlling the light emission of the light emitting unit 30 is arranged in the driving circuit layer. The driving circuit layer is generally composed of inorganic film layers such as a metal layer, a semiconductor layer (active layer), and an insulating layer. By patterning these inorganic film layers, a driving circuit for controlling the light emission of the light emitting unit 30 can be formed. There are many implementation methods for its specific circuit structure, which will not be repeated here.
[0085] The isolation structure 20 encloses a plurality of isolation openings 21. The isolation structure 20 includes a first isolation portion 22 and a second isolation portion 23 disposed on the side of the first isolation portion 22 away from the substrate 10. The orthographic projection of the first isolation portion 22 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 23 on the substrate 10. Therefore, when the light-emitting material is deposited on the side of the isolation structure 20 away from the substrate 10, the light-emitting material can be separated by the isolation structure 20 to form a plurality of light-emitting units 30 disconnected from each other, thereby eliminating the need to use a precision mask plate to prepare the light-emitting unit 30, reducing the development and use of precision masks, and reducing preparation costs. In addition, each light-emitting unit 30 is disposed one-to-one in each isolation opening 21, thereby reducing carrier crosstalk in each light-emitting unit 30 and improving the display effect of the display panel 100. The composition, preparation, and other contents of the isolation structure 20 are described in patents PCT / CN2023 / 134518, 202310759370.2, 202310740412.8, 202310707209.0, 202311346196.5,
[0087] Further described in 202310909421.5 for reference.
[0088] The light-emitting unit 30 may include a first electrode 31, a light-emitting functional layer 32, and a second electrode 33 which are stacked. The first electrode 31 may be located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 32 facing away from the substrate 10, and the second electrode 33 may be located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 32 facing the substrate 10. The first electrode 31 overlaps the first isolating portion 22, so that the first electrodes 31 of multiple light-emitting units 30 may be electrically connected through the first isolating portion 22 to form a whole-surface electrode to ensure that the light-emitting unit 30 emits light normally. One of the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33 may serve as the anode of the light-emitting unit 30, and the other may serve as the cathode of the light-emitting unit 30. The embodiment of the present application takes the first electrode 31 as the cathode of the light-emitting unit 30 and the second electrode 33 as the anode of the light-emitting unit 30 as an example. It should be noted that the light-emitting functional layer 32 can be formed by stacking multiple film layer structures. For example, the light-emitting functional layer 32 can include a stacked hole injection layer (Hole Inject Layer, HIL), a hole transport layer (Hole Transport Layer, HTL), a light-emitting layer, an electron injection layer (Electron Inject Layer, EIL) and an electron transport layer (Electron Transport Layer, ETL).
[0089] The first encapsulation layer includes an encapsulation portion 40 located on the side of each first electrode 31 away from the substrate 10. The encapsulation portion 40 is arranged one-to-one in each isolation opening 21. The encapsulation portion 40 can be used to independently encapsulate each light-emitting unit 30 to reduce the risk of the light-emitting unit 30 being affected by factors such as water vapor, thereby improving the reliability of the display panel 100. The encapsulation portion 40 includes a first sub-portion 41, which includes an inorganic material and can provide good mechanical support and encapsulation protection to prevent the display panel 100 from being affected by the environment. At the same time, it can further isolate harmful substances such as moisture and oxygen from the outside from entering the interior of the display panel 100, thereby improving the service life and stability of the display panel 100.
[0090] Each packaging part 40 includes at least a first sub-part 41 and a second sub-part 42. The first sub-part 41 covers the first electrode 31 to package the corresponding light-emitting unit 30. The second sub-part 42 is located on the side of the first sub-part 41 away from the substrate 10 to cover the first sub-part 41. Therefore, the light-emitting unit 30 can be further packaged by the second sub-part 42. At the same time, the second sub-part 42 can also protect the first sub-part 41 to prevent the first sub-part 41 from being etched and damaged by the etching material in the subsequent process, thereby improving the packaging effect of the light-emitting unit 30. In addition, the second sub-part 42 can also limit the first sub-part 41, so that the first sub-part 41 more firmly covers the side of the first electrode 31 away from the substrate 10, reducing the risk of the first sub-part 41 and the first electrode 31 separating and affecting the packaging effect. The first sub-part 41 and the second sub-part 42 have different densities. Specifically, the density of the first sub-part 41 can be greater than the density of the second sub-part 42, or less than the density of the second sub-part 42. This embodiment does not limit this. The first sub-portion 41 and the second sub-portion 42 have different densities, so the performance of the packaging portion 40 can be improved by reasonably adjusting the density relationship between the first sub-portion 41 and the second sub-portion 42 .
[0091] The multiple light-emitting units 30 may include a red light-emitting unit 30, a green light-emitting unit 30 and a blue light-emitting unit 30. Specifically, taking the example of preparing the red light-emitting unit 30 before the green light-emitting unit 30, since the precision mask plate is cancelled, during the preparation process of the red light-emitting unit 30, the red light-emitting material and the red packaging material corresponding to the red light-emitting unit 30 will fall into each isolation opening 21 in turn, and then the red light-emitting material and the red packaging material corresponding to a portion of the isolation openings 21 are selectively etched away, and the red light-emitting material and the red packaging material corresponding to another portion of the isolation openings 21 are retained, thereby forming a red light-emitting unit 30 and a packaging part 40 corresponding to the red light-emitting unit 30. Subsequently, a green light-emitting unit 30 and a packaging part 40 corresponding to the green light-emitting unit 30 are prepared. During the preparation process, the green light-emitting material and the green packaging material will fall into each isolation opening 21 in turn, and then the green light-emitting material and the green packaging material corresponding to a portion of the isolation openings 21 are selectively etched to remove, and the green light-emitting material and the green packaging material corresponding to another portion of the isolation openings 21 are retained to form a green light-emitting unit 30 and a packaging part 40 corresponding to the green light-emitting unit 30. In the process of removing the green light-emitting material and the green sealing material in some of the isolation openings 21, the green light-emitting material in the isolation openings 21 corresponding to the red light-emitting unit 30 and the green packaging material located on the side of the green light-emitting material away from the substrate 10 need to be removed, so that only the red light-emitting unit 30 for emitting red light and the packaging part 40 for packaging the red light-emitting unit 30 exist in the isolation openings 21 corresponding to the red light-emitting unit 30.
[0092] It can be understood that after the red packaging material falls into each isolation opening 21, part of the red first sub-portion material in the red packaging material will fall on the side wall of the first isolation portion 22 facing the isolation opening 21. If the thickness of the red first sub-portion material is large, its contact area with the first isolation portion 22 is large. When the red light-emitting material and the red packaging material corresponding to a portion of the isolation opening 21 are selectively etched subsequently, part of the red first sub-portion material may remain on the side wall of the first isolation portion 22 corresponding to the portion of the isolation opening 21. Therefore, when the green light-emitting unit 30 and the blue light-emitting unit 30 are subsequently prepared in the portion of the isolation opening 21, the red first sub-portion material remaining on the side wall of the first isolation portion 22 may affect the overlap yield of the first electrode 31 of the green light-emitting unit 30 and the blue light-emitting unit 30 and the first isolation portion 22, thereby affecting the performance of the display panel 100.
[0093] In view of this, the present application provides a display panel 100, wherein the thickness of the first sub-portions 41 of at least two packaging portions 40 in each packaging portion 40 is different. In the process of preparing the light-emitting unit 30 and the packaging portion 40, the light-emitting unit 30 and the packaging portion 40 corresponding to the first sub-portion 41 with the smallest thickness can be preferentially prepared, thereby reducing the contact area between the material of the first sub-portion 41 of the packaging portion 40 prepared earlier and the side wall of the first isolation portion 22 facing the isolation opening 21, and even making the material of the first sub-portion 41 not in contact with the side wall of the first isolation portion 22. When the material of the first sub-portion 41 in the partial isolation opening 21 is subsequently etched away, the material of the first sub-portion 41 in the partial isolation opening 21 can be easily etched away, thereby reducing the risk of the material of the first sub-portion 41 remaining on the side wall of the first isolation portion 22 corresponding to the partial isolation opening 21, thereby improving the overlap yield of the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting unit 30 prepared subsequently and the corresponding first isolation portion 22.
[0094] It should be noted that the thickness mentioned in this application may be the minimum thickness, which is specifically the minimum distance from the side of the film layer close to the substrate 10 to the side of the film layer away from the substrate 10, that is, the minimum distance between the two surfaces of the film layer along the thickness direction of the substrate 10.
[0095] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the thickness of the second sub-portion 42 is greater than the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 , thereby further improving the packaging effect of the light-emitting unit 30 and the limiting effect of the first sub-portion 41 .
[0096] Preferably, a gap is formed between a side of the first sub-portion 41 facing away from the substrate 10 and a side of the second isolation portion 23 facing the substrate 10 , and the second sub-portion 42 fills the gap.
[0097] Specifically, the orthographic projection of the first isolation portion 22 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 23 on the substrate 10, and the second isolation portion 23 protrudes toward the isolation opening 21 relative to the first isolation portion 22. Therefore, when the first sub-portion 41 is arranged on the side of the first electrode 31 away from the substrate 10, there is usually a gap between the first sub-portion 41 and the second isolation portion 23. The second sub-portion 42 fills the gap, and the second sub-portion 42 is located on the side of the first sub-portion 41 away from the substrate 10, and is also located on the side of the first isolation portion 22 facing the isolation opening 21 and the side of the second isolation portion 23 facing the substrate 10, so that the second sub-portion 42 is in contact with the first sub-portion 41 and the isolation structure 20 at the same time. On the one hand, the invasion path of external impurities such as water vapor can be extended to improve the packaging effect of the light-emitting unit 30, and on the other hand, the structural strength of the second sub-portion 42 can be improved to reduce the risk of peeling of the second sub-portion 42. In addition, by filling the gap with the second sub-portion 42 , etching materials in subsequent processes can be prevented from entering the gap, thereby reducing the contact area between the packaging portion 40 and the etching materials in subsequent processes, and reducing the etching effect of the etching materials on the packaging portion 40 .
[0098] Preferably, the density of the first sub-portion 41 is greater than the density of the second sub-portion 42, which can improve the bonding ability between the first sub-portion 41 and the conductive material such as the first electrode 31, reduce the risk of the first sub-portion 41 peeling off relative to the conductive material such as the first electrode 31, and improve the packaging effect of the light-emitting unit 30. Alternatively, the density of the first sub-portion 41 is less than the density of the second sub-portion 42, which can improve the bonding ability between the second sub-portion 42 and the isolation structure 20. On the basis of packaging the corresponding light-emitting unit 30 through the first sub-portion 41, the corresponding light-emitting unit 30 can be further packaged through the second sub-portion 42 with a higher density to improve the packaging effect.
[0099] It should be noted that when the density of the first sub-portion 41 is greater than the density of the second sub-portion 42, during the preparation of the first sub-portion 41, its material is more likely to remain on the side wall of the first isolation portion 22 facing the isolation opening 21. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of at least two packaging portions 40 in each packaging portion 40 is different. In the process of preparing the light-emitting unit 30 and the packaging portion 40, the light-emitting unit 30 and the packaging portion 40 corresponding to the first sub-portion 41 with the smallest thickness can be prepared preferentially, thereby reducing the contact area between the material of the first sub-portion 41 of the packaging portion 40 prepared earlier and the side wall of the first isolation portion 22 facing the isolation opening 21, and even making the material of the first sub-portion 41 not in contact with the side wall of the first isolation portion 22. When the material of the first sub-portion 41 in the partial isolation opening 21 is subsequently etched away, the material of the first sub-portion 41 in the partial isolation opening 21 can be easily etched away, thereby reducing the risk of affecting the overlap between the first electrode 31 in the light-emitting unit 30 formed later and the corresponding first isolation portion 22 due to the residual material of the first sub-portion 41.
[0100] Preferably, the material of the first sub-portion 41 is the same as that of the second sub-portion 42 , which is beneficial to improving the bonding ability of the first sub-portion 41 and the second sub-portion 42 and reducing the risk of separation of the first sub-portion 41 and the second sub-portion 42 .
[0101] It should be noted that the material of the first sub-section 41 can be the same as the material of the second sub-section 42, which means that the first sub-section 41 and the second sub-section 42 contain the same elements, wherein the proportions of the elements can be different, so that the density of the first sub-section 41 is different from the density of the second sub-section 42.
[0102] Preferably, the first sub-section 41 and / or the second sub-section 42 include a silicon-containing inorganic material. Exemplarily, the first sub-section 41 and / or the second sub-section 42 may be made of materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride, which can provide good mechanical support and packaging protection to prevent the display panel 100 from being affected by the environment, and can further isolate harmful substances such as moisture and oxygen from the outside from entering the interior of the display panel 100, thereby improving the service life and stability of the display panel 100.
[0103] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the second sub-portion 42 extends from the side wall of the second isolation portion 23 toward the isolation opening 21 to the side of the second isolation portion 23 away from the substrate 10, so as to further increase the contact area between the second sub-portion 42 and the isolation structure 20, extend the invasion path of impurities such as water vapor, and at the same time improve the bonding ability of the second sub-portion 42 with the isolation structure 20, reduce the risk of peeling relative to the isolation structure 20, so as to better encapsulate the light-emitting unit 30.
[0104] Preferably, the first sub-section 41 includes a first segment 411, a second segment 412 and a third segment 413, the first segment 411 is located on the side of the first electrode 31 facing away from the substrate 10, the second segment 412 is located on the side of the first isolation portion 22 facing the isolation opening 21, and the third segment 413 is located between the side wall of the second isolation portion 23 facing the isolation opening 21 and the second sub-section 42.
[0105] The first segment 411 of the first sub-portion 41 is located on the side of the first electrode 31 away from the substrate 10, and the second segment 412 is located on the side of the first isolation portion 22 toward the isolation opening 21, that is, part of the first sub-portion 41 extends from the side of the first electrode 31 away from the substrate 10 to the side wall of the first isolation portion 22 toward the isolation opening 21. The first sub-portion 41 not only covers the first electrode 31, but also covers part of the isolation structure 20, which can extend the invasion path of impurities such as water vapor, while improving the structural strength of the first sub-portion 41, reducing the risk of peeling of the first sub-portion 41, and improving the packaging effect.
[0106] It can be understood that, since the material of the first sub-section 41 is the same as that of the second sub-section 42 and the density of the first sub-section 41 is greater than that of the second sub-section 42, the bonding ability of the third segment 413 with the second sub-section 42 and the bonding ability of the third segment 413 with the second isolating portion 23 are both better than the bonding ability of the second sub-section 42 with the second isolating portion 23. Therefore, in these embodiments, by setting the first sub-section 41 to include the third segment 413, the third segment 413 is located between the side wall of the second isolating portion 23 facing the isolating opening 21 and the second sub-section 42, so that the second sub-section 42 is connected to the second isolating portion 23 through the third segment 413, compared with the second sub-section 42 directly contacting the second isolating portion 23, the bonding strength of the second sub-section 42 can be improved, and the risk of the second sub-section 42 peeling off relative to the isolating structure 20 can be reduced.
[0107] Preferably, the third segment 413 also extends to a side of the second isolation portion 23 away from the substrate 10 , so as to extend the invasion path between the third segment 413 and the second isolation portion 23 and improve the sealing effect.
[0108] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the packaging part 40 further includes a third sub-part 43, and the third sub-part 43 is arranged to cover the second sub-part 42. The third sub-part 43 can not only encapsulate the light-emitting unit 30 to further improve the encapsulation effect, but also protect the second sub-part 42 to prevent the second sub-part 42 from being damaged by etching materials in subsequent processes. In addition, by arranging the third sub-part 43 on the side of the second sub-part 42 away from the substrate 10, the third sub-part 43 can also limit the second sub-part 42 and the first sub-part 41, so that the second sub-part 42 and the first sub-part 41 are more secure.
[0109] Preferably, the first sub-section 41, the second sub-section 42 and the third sub-section 43 can be of the same material, for example, all silicon oxynitride; or they can be of different materials, for example, the first sub-section 41 is silicon nitride, the second sub-section 42 is silicon oxynitride, and the third sub-section 43 is silicon oxide; the combination is not limited thereto.
[0110] Preferably, the third sub-portion 43 extends to a side of the second isolation portion 23 away from the substrate 10 , so as to increase the contact area between the third sub-portion 43 and the second sub-portion 42 and improve the packaging effect.
[0111] Preferably, the third sub-portion 43 includes a fourth segment 431 and a fifth segment 432, the orthographic projection of the fourth segment 431 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the first electrode 31 on the substrate 10, the fifth segment 432 extends from the edge of the fourth segment 431 to the side of the second isolation portion 23 away from the substrate 10, and at least part of the fourth segment 431 is protruded relative to the first isolation portion 22 in a direction away from the substrate 10, so that the packaging portion 40 has sufficient thickness to ensure the packaging effect of the light-emitting unit 30.
[0112] Preferably, the density of the first sub-portion 41 is greater than that of the second sub-portion 42, which can improve the bonding ability of the first sub-portion 41 with the conductive material such as the first electrode 31, and reduce the risk of the first sub-portion 41 peeling off from the conductive material such as the first electrode 31. In addition, the density of the third sub-portion 43 is greater than that of the second sub-portion 42, which can improve the bonding ability of the third sub-portion 43 with the isolation structure 20, improve its packaging effect, and also improve the etching resistance of the third sub-portion 43, so that the third sub-portion 43 is not easily damaged by the etching material in the subsequent process, and improve the protection effect of the third sub-portion 43 on the second sub-portion 42 and the first sub-portion 41.
[0113] Preferably, the density of the third sub-portion 43 is greater than or equal to the density of the first sub-portion 41 , so as to further improve the etching resistance of the third sub-portion 43 .
[0114] Preferably, the material of the third sub-section 43 is the same as that of the second sub-section 42 , which is beneficial to improving the bonding ability of the second sub-section 42 and the third sub-section 43 and reducing the risk of separation of the second sub-section 42 and the third sub-section 43 .
[0115] Preferably, the third sub-portion 43 includes a silicon-containing inorganic material. Exemplarily, the third sub-portion 43 can be made of materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride, which can provide good mechanical support and packaging protection to prevent the display panel 100 from being affected by the environment, and can further isolate harmful substances such as moisture and oxygen from the outside from entering the interior of the display panel 100, thereby improving the service life and stability of the display panel 100.
[0116] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the plurality of light-emitting units 30 include a first light-emitting unit 301, a second light-emitting unit 302, and a third light-emitting unit 303, and the plurality of encapsulation parts 40 include a first encapsulation part 401, a second encapsulation part 402, and a third encapsulation part 403, the first encapsulation part 401 is used to encapsulate the first light-emitting unit 301, the second encapsulation part 402 is used to encapsulate the second light-emitting unit 302, and the third encapsulation part 403 is used to encapsulate the third light-emitting unit 303.
[0117] Specifically, the first encapsulation part 401 is located on the side of the first light-emitting unit 301 away from the substrate 10, and is used to encapsulate the first light-emitting unit 301. The second encapsulation part 402 is located on the side of the second light-emitting unit 302 away from the substrate 10, and is used to encapsulate the second light-emitting unit 302. The third encapsulation part 403 is located on the side of the third light-emitting unit 303 away from the substrate 10, and is used to encapsulate the third light-emitting unit 303, so that each light-emitting unit 30 is individually encapsulated by each encapsulation part 40, thereby improving the encapsulation effect. Optionally, the isolation opening 21 includes a first isolation opening 21 for accommodating the first light-emitting unit 301, a second isolation opening 21 for accommodating the second light-emitting unit 302, and a third isolation opening 21 for accommodating the third light-emitting unit 303.
[0118] Optionally, the number of the first light-emitting unit 301, the second light-emitting unit 302, and the third light-emitting unit 303 can be multiple. Multiple first light-emitting units 301 can be prepared and formed in the same process step, multiple second light-emitting units 302 can be prepared and formed in the same process step, and multiple third light-emitting units 303 can be prepared and formed in the same process step. Optionally, multiple first light-emitting units 301 can be prepared first, then multiple second light-emitting units 302 can be prepared, and finally multiple third light-emitting units 303 can be prepared.
[0119] Correspondingly, the number of the first packaging part 401, the second packaging part 402 and the third packaging part 403 can also be multiple, and the multiple first packaging parts 401 can be prepared and formed in the same process step, and the multiple first packaging parts 401 can be prepared after the multiple first light-emitting units 301 are prepared and formed. The multiple second packaging parts 402 can be prepared and formed in the same process step, and the multiple second packaging parts 402 can be prepared after the multiple second light-emitting units 302 are prepared and formed. The multiple third packaging parts 403 can be prepared and formed in the same process step, and the multiple third packaging parts 403 can be prepared after the multiple third light-emitting units 303 are prepared and formed.
[0120] Preferably, the thickness of the third subsection 43 of the first packaging part 401 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the third subsection 43 of the second packaging part 402 , and / or the thickness of the third subsection 43 of the second packaging part 402 is greater than the thickness of the third subsection 43 of the third packaging part 403 .
[0121] It is understandable that, in the process of preparing the display panel 100, the first light-emitting unit 301 and the first packaging part 401 are first formed in the first isolation opening 21, and then the second light-emitting unit 302 and the second packaging part 402 are formed in the second isolation opening 21, and finally the third light-emitting unit 303 and the third packaging part 403 are formed in the third isolation opening 21. In the process of forming the second light-emitting unit 302 and the second packaging part 402, it is necessary to etch and remove the second light-emitting material and the corresponding packaging material located on the side of the first packaging part 401 away from the substrate 10. In this process, part of the material of the first packaging part 401 may be removed simultaneously. Similarly, when forming the third light-emitting unit 303 and the third packaging part 403, the etching material used to etch the third light-emitting material and the corresponding packaging material may cause etching damage to the first packaging part 401 and the second packaging part 402.
[0122] Therefore, in these embodiments, the thickness of the third sub-portion 43 of the first encapsulation part 401 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the third sub-portion 43 of the second encapsulation part 402. Before the second light-emitting unit 302 and the second encapsulation part 402 are formed, the thickness of the third sub-portion 43 of the first encapsulation part 401 is greater, so that the third sub-portion 43 of the first encapsulation part 401 has sufficient etching resistance to resist etching damage of the etching material in the subsequent process, thereby ensuring the packaging reliability of the first encapsulation part 401. Similarly, the thickness of the third sub-portion 43 of the second encapsulation part 402 is greater than the thickness of the third sub-portion 43 of the third encapsulation part 403. Before the third light-emitting unit 303 and the third encapsulation part 403 are formed, the thickness of the third sub-portion 43 of the second encapsulation part 402 is greater, so that the third sub-portion 43 of the second encapsulation part 402 has sufficient etching resistance to resist etching damage of the etching material in the subsequent process, thereby ensuring the packaging reliability of the second encapsulation part 402.
[0123] Preferably, the thickness of the first packaging part 401 is greater than the thickness of the second packaging part 402 , and the thickness of the second packaging part 402 is greater than the thickness of the third packaging part 403 .
[0124] It should be noted that the thickness of the first packaging part 401 refers to the sum of the thicknesses of the first sub-part 41, the second sub-part 42 and the third sub-part 43 in the first packaging part 401, the thickness of the second packaging part 402 refers to the sum of the thicknesses of the first sub-part 41, the second sub-part 42 and the third sub-part 43 in the second packaging part 402, and the thickness of the third packaging part 403 refers to the sum of the thicknesses of the first sub-part 41, the second sub-part 42 and the third sub-part 43 in the third packaging part 403.
[0125] In these embodiments, the thickness of the first encapsulation part 401 is set to be greater than the thickness of the second encapsulation part 402, so as to ensure the encapsulation effect of the first encapsulation part 401 on the first light-emitting unit 301 and reduce the risk of failure of the first encapsulation part 401 due to the influence of subsequent processes. Similarly, the thickness of the second encapsulation part 402 is greater than the thickness of the third encapsulation part 403, so as to ensure the encapsulation effect of the second encapsulation part 402 on the second light-emitting unit 302 and reduce the risk of failure of the second encapsulation part 402 due to the influence of subsequent processes.
[0126] Please continue reading Figure 2 In some embodiments, the plurality of light-emitting units 30 include a first light-emitting unit 301, a second light-emitting unit 302, and a third light-emitting unit 303, the plurality of encapsulation parts 40 include a first encapsulation part 401, a second encapsulation part 402, and a third encapsulation part 403, the first encapsulation part 401 is used to encapsulate the first light-emitting unit 301, the second encapsulation part 402 is used to encapsulate the second light-emitting unit 302, the third encapsulation part 403 is used to encapsulate the third light-emitting unit 303, and at least two of the first sub-part 41 of the first encapsulation part 401, the first sub-part 41 of the second encapsulation part 402, and the first sub-part 41 of the third encapsulation part 403 have different thicknesses. Therefore, in the process of preparing each light-emitting unit 30 and each encapsulation part 40, it can be preferentially prepared The light-emitting unit 30 and the packaging part 40 corresponding to the first sub-part 41 with the smallest thickness reduce the contact area between the material of the first sub-part 41 of the packaging part 40 prepared earlier and the side wall of the first isolation part 22 facing the isolation opening 21, and even make the material of the first sub-part 41 not in contact with the side wall of the first isolation part 22. When the material of the first sub-part 41 in the partial isolation opening 21 is subsequently etched away, the material of the first sub-part 41 in the partial isolation opening 21 can be easily etched away, reducing the risk of the material of the first sub-part 41 remaining on the side wall of the first isolation part 22 corresponding to the partial isolation opening 21, thereby improving the overlap yield of the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting unit 30 prepared subsequently and the corresponding first isolation part 22.
[0127] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging portion 401 and / or the second packaging portion 402 is less than the thickness of the first isolation portion 22, which can reduce the risk of material of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging portion 401 and / or the second packaging portion 402 remaining on the side wall of the first isolation portion 22 corresponding to the subsequently formed third light-emitting unit 303, thereby improving the overlap yield of the first electrode 31 of the subsequently formed third light-emitting unit 303 and the first isolation portion 22.
[0128] Preferably, the ratio Z1 of the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging part 401 and / or the second packaging part 402 to the thickness of the first isolation part 22 satisfies: 0.05≤Z1<1, so as to reasonably set the relationship between the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging part 401 and / or the second packaging part 402 and the thickness of the first isolation part 22, so that the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging part 401 and / or the second packaging part 402 has better packaging capability, and at the same time reduces the risk of material of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging part 401 and / or the second packaging part 402 remaining on the side wall of the first isolation part 22 corresponding to the subsequently formed third light-emitting unit 303.
[0129] It can be understood that the ratio of the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging portion 401 and / or the second packaging portion 402 to the thickness of the first isolation portion 22 is greater than or equal to 0.05 and less than 1. For example, the ratio can be 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 0.95, etc.
[0130] Please continue reading Figure 2 In some embodiments, the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the third encapsulation portion 403 is greater than the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the first encapsulation portion 401 and / or the second encapsulation portion 402 .
[0131] Specifically, since the third encapsulation part 403 is prepared after each light-emitting unit 30, the material of the first sub-part 41 of the third encapsulation part 403 will not remain on the side wall of the first isolation part 22, so the thickness of the first sub-part 41 of the third encapsulation part 403 can be increased to improve its encapsulation effect on the third light-emitting unit 303.
[0132] Preferably, a ratio Z2 of the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the third packaging portion 403 to the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging portion 401 and / or the second packaging portion 402 satisfies: 1<Z2≤12, so that the first sub-portion 41 of the third packaging portion 403 has good packaging capability.
[0133] It should be noted that the ratio of the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the third packaging part 403 to the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging part 401 and / or the second packaging part 402 is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 12. For example, the ratio can be 1.2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, etc.
[0134] Preferably, the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging portion 401 is less than or equal to the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the second packaging portion 402. When the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging portion 401 is less than the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the second packaging portion 402, the first packaging portion 401 can be prepared first, and then the second packaging portion 402 can be prepared, thereby reducing the risk of the material of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging portion 401 remaining in the isolation opening 21 corresponding to the second packaging portion 402. When the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging portion 401 is equal to the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of the second packaging portion 402, the difficulty of preparing the first sub-portion 41 of the first packaging portion 401 and the second packaging portion 402 can be reduced.

[0148] See also Figure 5 In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing a display panel 100, comprising:
[0149] S10. An isolation structure 20 is formed on one side of the substrate 10. The isolation structure 20 encloses a plurality of isolation openings 21. The isolation structure 20 includes a first isolation portion 22 and a second isolation portion 23 disposed on a side of the first isolation portion 22 facing away from the substrate 10. The orthographic projection of the first isolation portion 22 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 23 on the substrate 10.
[0150] S20. A light-emitting unit 30 and a packaging portion 40 for packaging each light-emitting unit 30 are formed in the isolation opening 21. The light-emitting unit 30 includes a first electrode 31. The first electrode 31 overlaps the first isolation portion 22. The packaging portion 40 includes at least a first sub-portion 41 and a second sub-portion 42. The first sub-portion 41 covers the first electrode 31, and the second sub-portion 42 covers the first sub-portion 41. The density of the first sub-portion 41 is different from that of the second sub-portion 42. In each packaging portion 40, the thickness of the first sub-portion 41 of at least two packaging portions 40 is different.
[0151] In these embodiments, an isolation structure 20 is first formed on one side of the substrate 10, and the isolation structure 20 encloses a plurality of isolation openings 21. The isolation structure 20 includes a first isolation portion 22 and a second isolation portion 23 disposed on the side of the first isolation portion 22 away from the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the first isolation portion 22 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 23 on the substrate 10. Subsequently, a light-emitting unit 30 and a packaging portion 40 for packaging each light-emitting unit 30 are formed in the isolation opening 21. The light-emitting unit 30 includes a first electrode 31, and the first electrode 31 overlaps the first isolation portion 22. The packaging portion 40 includes at least a first sub-portion 41 and a second sub-portion 42. The first sub-portion 41 covers the first electrode 31, and the second sub-portion 42 covers the first sub-portion 41. The density of the first sub-portion 41 is different from that of the second sub-portion 42, so that the light-emitting unit 30 is packaged together by the first sub-portion 41 and the second sub-portion 42 having different densities, so as to improve the packaging effect. In each packaging part 40, the thickness of the first sub-part 41 of at least two packaging parts 40 is different. In the process of preparing the light-emitting unit 30 and the packaging part 40, the light-emitting unit 30 and the packaging part 40 corresponding to the first sub-part 41 with the smallest thickness can be prepared preferentially, thereby reducing the contact area between the material of the first sub-part 41 of the packaging part 40 prepared earlier and the side wall of the first isolation part 22 facing the isolation opening 21, and even making the material of the first sub-part 41 not in contact with the side wall of the first isolation part 22. When the material of the first sub-part 41 in the partial isolation opening 21 is subsequently etched away, the material of the first sub-part 41 in the partial isolation opening 21 can be easily etched away, thereby reducing the risk of the material of the first sub-part 41 remaining on the side wall of the first isolation part 22 corresponding to the partial isolation opening 21, thereby improving the overlap yield of the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting unit 30 prepared subsequently and the corresponding first isolation part 22.

In addition, the third sub-portion 43 can also limit the second sub-portion 42 and the first sub-portion 41, so that the second sub-portion 42 and the first sub-portion 41 are more secure.

In addition, the third sub-portion 43 can also limit the second sub-portion 42 and the first sub-portion 41, so that the second sub-portion 42 and the first sub-portion 41 are more secure.
