AI Technical Summary
In the manufacturing process of existing OLED display panels, there is a tendency for gaps to appear between the encapsulation layer and the isolation structure, which increases the risk of encapsulation peeling and makes the electrode layer in the vias susceptible to corrosion, affecting display performance and yield.
Between adjacent light-emitting unit groups, the encapsulation portion extends outward from the isolation opening and connects to the side of the isolation structure away from the substrate. It also covers the vias through the encapsulation layer to form a mesh structure to protect the electrode layer. The extension of different electrode layers and functional layers covers the vias, enhancing the protection effect.
This effectively reduces the risk of gaps between the encapsulation section and the isolation structure, protects the electrode layer in the vias, prevents corrosion, and improves the manufacturing yield and performance stability of the display panel.

[0071] The first aspect of this application provides a display panel, as shown in the reference... Figures 1 to 4The schematic diagram of the display panel shown includes: a substrate 100, including a conductive layer 110 and a via 120, the via 120 exposing a portion of the conductive layer 110; an isolation structure 200 located on the side of the substrate 100 with the via 120, the isolation structure 200 having multiple isolation openings 210; and multiple light-emitting unit groups 300, each light-emitting unit group 300 including multiple light-emitting devices 310, each light-emitting device 310 being at least partially located in the isolation openings 210, each light-emitting device 310 including a first electrode layer 301 extending into the via 120 and contacting the conductive layer 110; and multiple light-emitting devices... 310 includes a first light-emitting device 311; an encapsulation layer 400 located on the side of the isolation structure 200 away from the substrate 100, the encapsulation layer 400 including a plurality of first encapsulation portions 410; the orthographic projection of the first encapsulation portion 410 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting device 311 on the substrate 100; wherein, in at least some of the adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300, the first encapsulation portion 410 extends outward from the isolation opening 210 and is connected to the side of the isolation structure 200 away from the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the first encapsulation portion 410 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100.
[0072] It should be noted that the light-emitting unit group 300 includes a light-emitting device 310 located in the isolation opening 210, and also includes a light-emitting device 310 located outside the isolation opening 210.
[0073] According to the display panel provided in the embodiments of this application, between two adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300, the first encapsulation part 410 is connected to each other on the side of the isolation structure 200 away from the substrate 100, which helps to reduce the suspension between the first encapsulation part 410 and the isolation structure 200 and effectively reduces the risk of peeling of the first encapsulation part 410; at the same time, the first encapsulation part 410 covers at least one via 120, which can effectively protect the first electrode layer 301 in the via 120 from corrosion, thereby avoiding the failure of the light-emitting device 310 and improving the manufacturing yield of the display panel.
[0074] In one embodiment, in the same light-emitting unit group 300, the orthographic projection of the first encapsulation portion 410 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of all vias 120 on the substrate 100.
[0075] In one embodiment, the first light-emitting device 311 includes a first light-emitting functional layer 302 and a second electrode layer 303 stacked together, with the first light-emitting functional layer 302 located on the side of the second electrode layer 303 closer to the substrate 100. In at least some adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300, the first light-emitting functional layer 302 extends outward from the isolation opening 210 and is connected to the side of the isolation structure 200 opposite to the substrate 100, and the orthogonal projection of the first light-emitting functional layer 302 on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In another embodiment, in at least some adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300, the second electrode layer 303 extends outward from the isolation opening 210 and is connected to the side of the isolation structure 200 opposite to the substrate 100, and the orthogonal projection of the second electrode layer 303 on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In another embodiment, in at least some adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300, a first light-emitting functional layer 302 extends outward from the isolation opening 210 and is connected to the side of the isolation structure 200 opposite to the substrate 100, and the orthogonal projection of the first light-emitting functional layer 302 on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100; and a second electrode layer 303 extends outward from the isolation opening 210 and is connected to the side of the isolation structure 200 opposite to the substrate 100, and the orthogonal projection of the second electrode layer 303 on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. Thus, the first light-emitting functional layer 302 and / or the second electrode layer 303 can effectively protect the first electrode layer 301 in the via, further reducing the risk of light-emitting unit group failure.
[0076] In one embodiment, the first electrode layer 301 is located between the substrate 100 and the isolation structure 200, and is at least partially exposed to the isolation opening 210.
[0077] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the display panel shown shows that the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 200 onto the plane of the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of the via 120 onto the plane of the substrate 100. Therefore, the isolation structure 200 can effectively protect the first electrode layer 301 in the via, further reducing the risk of failure of the light-emitting unit group.
[0078] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the display panel shown in the top view includes multiple light-emitting devices 310, including a second light-emitting device 312 and a third light-emitting device 313; the encapsulation layer 400 also includes a second encapsulation portion 420 and a third encapsulation portion 430, the orthographic projection of the second encapsulation portion 420 on the substrate 100 covering the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting device 312 on the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the third encapsulation portion 430 on the substrate 100 covering the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting device 313 on the substrate 100. It should be noted that... Figures 6 to 10 as well as Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the top-down view, the first light-emitting device 311 is located below the first packaging section 410 and cannot be seen. The second light-emitting device 312 is located in the second packaging section.
[0079] Below 420, the second light-emitting device 312 cannot be seen, and the third light-emitting device 313 is located below the third package portion 430, so the third light-emitting device 313 cannot be seen. Therefore, the use of dashed lines to represent the first light-emitting device 311, the second light-emitting device 312, and the third light-emitting device 313 should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0080] For example, the light-emitting device 310 includes light-emitting devices of various colors, such as a red light-emitting device R, a green light-emitting device G, and a blue light-emitting device B. For example, the first light-emitting device 311 is a blue light-emitting device B, the second light-emitting device 312 is a red light-emitting device R, and the third light-emitting device 313 is a green light-emitting device G. Of course, the above possible configurations of the light-emitting devices are merely examples and should not be construed as limiting this application. The colors of the first light-emitting device 311, the second light-emitting device 312, and the third light-emitting device 313 can be flexibly selected according to actual circumstances, and will not be elaborated further here.
[0081] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6 The orthographic projection of the second package portion 420 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In another embodiment, referring to... Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the top view of the display panel shown shows that the orthographic projection of the third encapsulation portion 430 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In another embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second encapsulation portion 420 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the third encapsulation portion 430 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. Therefore, the second encapsulation portion 420 and / or the third encapsulation portion 430 can further enhance the protection of the first electrode layer 301 in the via 120, and better prevent the first electrode layer 301 from being corroded.
[0082] In one embodiment, the second light-emitting device 312 includes a second light-emitting functional layer and a third electrode layer stacked together, with the second light-emitting functional layer located on the side of the third electrode layer closer to the substrate; the orthogonal projection of the second light-emitting functional layer on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In another embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the third electrode layer on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In yet another embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the second light-emitting functional layer on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100, and the orthogonal projection of the third electrode layer on the substrate 100 also covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. Therefore, the second light-emitting functional layer and the third electrode layer of the second light-emitting device 312 can further enhance the protection of the first electrode layer 301 in the via 120, and better prevent the first electrode layer 301 from being corroded.
[0083] In one embodiment, the third light-emitting device 313 includes a third light-emitting functional layer and a fourth electrode layer stacked together, with the third light-emitting functional layer located on the side of the fourth electrode layer closest to the substrate 100; the orthogonal projection of the third light-emitting functional layer on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In another embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the fourth electrode layer on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In yet another embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the third light-emitting functional layer on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100, and the orthogonal projection of the fourth electrode layer on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. Thus, the third light-emitting functional layer and the fourth electrode layer of the third light-emitting device 313 can further enhance the protection of the first electrode layer 301 in the via 120, and better prevent the first electrode layer 301 from being corroded.
[0084] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6 In the same light-emitting unit group 300, the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313 are located on the same side of the first light-emitting device 311. Therefore, there is a gap between the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313, which facilitates the interconnection of the first encapsulation portion 410 of the first light-emitting device 311 on the side of the isolation structure 200 away from the substrate 100. This effectively reduces the risk of a gap between the isolation structure 200 and the first encapsulation portion 410, and significantly reduces the risk of peeling of the first encapsulation portion 410.
[0085] In one embodiment, one light-emitting device 310 corresponds to one via 120, and the via 120 is located on the side of the first light-emitting device 311 near the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313 (see details). Figure 1Alternatively, via 120 may be located between the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313; or, via 120 corresponding to the first light-emitting device 311 may be located on the side of the first light-emitting device 311 closest to the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313, and vias corresponding to the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313 may be located between the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313 (see details). Figure 3 Therefore, the arrangement of the vias 120 allows the first encapsulation part 410 to cover all the vias 120, and the first encapsulation part 410 provides excellent protection for the first electrode layer 301 in the vias 120.
[0086] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6 The isolation opening 210 corresponding to the first light-emitting device 310 is provided with a recess 211, and the via 120 corresponding to the first light-emitting device 310 is at least partially located in the recess 211. Therefore, the recess 211 makes it easier to set the via 120 and hardly affects the display effect.
[0087] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The light-emitting unit group 300 is arranged along a first direction a and a second direction b, and the first direction a and the second direction b intersect. In the same light-emitting unit group 300, the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313 are arranged along the second direction b, and in the first direction a, the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313 are located on one side of the first light-emitting device 311. Therefore, the arrangement of the vias 120 combined with the arrangement of the light-emitting devices 310 makes it easier for the first encapsulation part 410 to cover all the vias 120, and the first encapsulation part 410 provides excellent protection for the first electrode layer 301 in the vias 120.
[0088] In a preferred embodiment, the first direction a and the second direction b are perpendicular to each other. This makes it easier to manufacture the display panel, reduces manufacturing difficulty, and improves the yield rate of the display panel.
[0089] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 8 The schematic diagram of the top view of the display panel shown shows that, in the second direction b, in at least some of the adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300, the first encapsulation portion 410 extends outward from the isolation opening 210 and is connected to the isolation structure 200 on the side facing away from the substrate 100. Thus, the first encapsulation portions 410 of two adjacent first light-emitting devices 311 are connected together on the side of the isolation structure 200 facing away from the substrate 100, effectively preventing any gaps between the first encapsulation portion 410 and the isolation structure 200 between two adjacent first light-emitting devices 311, reducing the risk to the glass of the first encapsulation portion 410, and improving the yield of the display panel.
[0090] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 9 The schematic diagram of the top view of the display panel shown illustrates that the first light-emitting device 311 includes a first sub-light-emitting device 3111 and a second sub-light-emitting device 3112 arranged along the second direction b. The first sub-light-emitting device 3111 and the second sub-light-emitting device 3112 correspond to the same via 120. Exemplarily, the first electrode layer 301 of the first sub-light-emitting device 3111 and the second sub-light-emitting device 3112 is the same electrode layer, and this first electrode layer 301 contacts the conductive layer 110 through a via 120. Exemplarily, there is a gap between the first sub-light-emitting device 3111 and the second light-emitting device 3112. In this case, referring to... Figure 10 The second encapsulation portion 420 of the second light-emitting device 312 in two adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300 can be connected to each other on the side of the isolation structure 200 away from the substrate 100; or, the third encapsulation portion 430 of the third light-emitting device 313 in two adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300 can be connected to each other on the side of the isolation structure 200 away from the substrate 100. The design is more flexible and diverse, and it is more conducive to realizing the protection of the first electrode layer 301 in the via 120 by the encapsulation layer 400.
[0091] In one embodiment, in the same light-emitting unit group 300, the via 120 is located on the side of the first sub-light-emitting device 3111 closer to the second sub-light-emitting device 3112 (see reference). Figure 9 Alternatively, via 120 is located on the side of the third light-emitting device 313 closest to the first sub-light-emitting device 3111 and the second sub-light-emitting device 3112 (see reference). Figure 10 Therefore, the placement of via 120 is more diverse, which is beneficial for the encapsulation layer 400 to protect the first electrode layer 301 in via 120.
[0092] For example, taking the first light-emitting device 311 as an example, one of the first electrode layer 301 and the second electrode layer 303 is an anode, and the other is a cathode. Taking the first electrode layer 301 as the anode and the second electrode layer 303 as the cathode as an example, the first light-emitting functional layer 302 includes a light-emitting layer, and may further include at least one of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), and an electron-blocking layer (EBL) located between the first electrode layer 301 and the light-emitting layer, and at least one of an electron injection layer (EIL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and a hole-blocking layer (HBL) located between the light-emitting layer and the second electrode layer 303. The structures of other light-emitting devices can refer to the structure of the first light-emitting device 311, and will not be described in detail here.
[0093] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 The schematic diagram of the isolation structure shown shows that the isolation structure 200 includes a first part 201 and a second part 202 stacked together. The first part 201 is located on the side of the second part 202 away from the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the second part 202 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the first part 201 on the substrate 100.
[0094] For example, the second part 202 can be designed as an independent film layer, meaning there is no physical interface within the second part 202, and all parts are made of the same material, such as aluminum. Alternatively, the second part 202 can be designed as being composed of at least two stacked film layers. For example, the second part 202 is formed by stacking two conductive film layers. The materials of the two conductive film layers can be molybdenum and aluminum, respectively, and the conductive film layer made of molybdenum is located between the substrate 100 and the conductive film layer made of aluminum. For example, the second part 202 includes a conductive sub-part, or the second part 202 itself is a conductive structure. The material of the first part 201 can be an organic material, an inorganic material, or a metallic material. If the first part 201 is a metallic material, the material of the first part 201 can be titanium.
[0095] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 14 The schematic diagram of the isolation structure shown shows that the isolation structure 200 also includes a third part 203, which is located on the side of the second part 202 close to the substrate 100. The orthographic projection of the second part 202 on the substrate 100 is within the orthographic projection range of the third part 203 on the substrate 100.
[0096] In one implementation, the third part 203 includes a conductive material. Exemplarily, the light-emitting layer is spaced apart from the isolation structure 200; more specifically, the light-emitting layer is spaced apart from the third part 203.
[0097] For example, the second part 202 is a conductive film layer made of aluminum, and the third part 203 is a conductive film layer made of molybdenum. In this case, the cross-section of the isolation structure 200 is I-shaped.

[0100] For example, refer to Figure 1 The pixel defining layer has multiple openings. The first electrode layer 301 is located between the pixel defining layer 500 and the substrate 100. A portion of the first light-emitting functional layer 302 is located in the opening of the pixel defining layer, and the remaining portion of the light-emitting layer 412 is located in the isolation opening 210 of the isolation structure. A portion of the second electrode layer 303 is located in the opening of the pixel defining layer, and the remaining portion of the second electrode layer 303 is located in the isolation opening 210 of the isolation structure.
[0101] It should be noted that the pixel delimiting layer is a conventional pixel delimiting layer in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.
[0102] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 11 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown shows that the substrate 100 also includes a substrate 101 and a planarization layer 102. The substrate 101 is located on the side of the planarization layer 102 away from the pixel defining layer 500, and the planarization layer 102 has a via 120.
[0103] Exemplarily, the substrate 100 includes a substrate 101, an active layer and a metal layer located between the substrate 101 and the planarization layer 102, and an insulating layer located between the active layer and the metal layer. It should be noted that the display panel includes a pixel driving circuit, which includes an active layer and a metal layer. The remaining structure of the pixel driving circuit can be referred to in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0104] In one embodiment, the substrate may be a glass-based substrate. In another embodiment, the substrate may include an organic resin material such as epoxy resin, triazine, silicone resin, or polyimide. For example, the substrate may be an FR4 type printed circuit board (PCB) or a flexible PCB that is easily deformable. In one embodiment, the substrate may include a ceramic material such as silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, or aluminum oxide, or may include a metal or metal compound. For example, the substrate may be a metal core PCB (MCPCB) or a metal copper clad laminate (MCCL).
[0105] In one embodiment, the encapsulation layer 400 comprises an inorganic material. Exemplarily, the materials of the first encapsulation portion 410, the second encapsulation portion 420, and the third encapsulation portion 430 are inorganic materials, prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Exemplarily, the display panel further comprises an organic encapsulation layer and an inorganic encapsulation layer. The organic encapsulation layer is located on the side of the encapsulation layer 400 facing away from the substrate 100, and the inorganic encapsulation layer is located on the side of the organic encapsulation layer facing away from the substrate 100. The organic encapsulation layer comprises organic materials and is prepared by inkjet printing (IJP), while the inorganic encapsulation layer comprises inorganic materials and is prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
[0106] A second aspect of this application provides a display panel, as shown in [reference] Figure 8The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown includes: a substrate 100, including a conductive layer 110 and a via 120, the via 120 exposing a portion of the conductive layer 110; an isolation structure 200 located on the side of the substrate 100 with the via 120, the isolation structure 200 having a plurality of isolation openings 210; and a plurality of light-emitting unit groups 300, each light-emitting unit group 300 including a plurality of light-emitting devices 310, the light-emitting devices 310 being at least partially located in the isolation openings 210, and each light-emitting device 310 including a first electrode layer 301. The first electrode layer 301 extends into the via 120 and contacts the conductive layer 110. The plurality of light-emitting devices 310 include the first light-emitting device 311. The encapsulation layer 400 is located on the side of the isolation structure 200 away from the substrate 100. The encapsulation layer 400 includes a plurality of first encapsulation portions 410. The first encapsulation portion 410 has a mesh structure. The orthographic projection of the first encapsulation portion 410 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of the plurality of first light-emitting devices 311 on the substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100.
[0107] It is understood that the first encapsulation portion 410 has a mesh structure and includes multiple through holes. The positions of the through holes correspond to the placement positions of the second and third light-emitting devices. The orthographic projection of the second light-emitting device on the substrate 100 is within the range of the orthographic projection of the through holes on the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting device on the substrate 100 is within the range of the orthographic projection of the through holes on the substrate 100. Except for the through holes, the rest of the first encapsulation portion 410 has a continuous structure.
[0108] According to the display panel of this embodiment, the mesh-like first encapsulation portion 410 facilitates the interconnection of the first encapsulation portion 410 between two adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300 on the side of the isolation structure 200 away from the substrate 100. This helps reduce the gap between the first encapsulation portion 410 and the isolation structure 200, effectively reducing the risk of peeling of the first encapsulation portion 410. At the same time, the first encapsulation portion 410 covers at least one via 120, which can effectively protect the first electrode layer 301 in the via 120 from corrosion, thereby preventing the light-emitting device 310 from failing and improving the manufacturing yield of the display panel.
[0109] It should be noted that the substrate, isolation structure, encapsulation layer, light-emitting unit group, and light-emitting device are the same as described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0110] In one embodiment, in the same light-emitting unit group 300, the orthographic projection of the first encapsulation portion 410 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of all vias 120 on the substrate 100.
[0111] In one embodiment, the first light-emitting device 311 includes a first light-emitting functional layer 302 and a second electrode layer 303 stacked together, with the first light-emitting functional layer 302 located on the side of the second electrode layer 303 closer to the substrate 100. In at least some adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300, the first light-emitting functional layer 302 extends outward from the isolation opening 210 and is connected to the side of the isolation structure 200 opposite to the substrate 100, and the orthogonal projection of the first light-emitting functional layer 302 on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In another embodiment, in at least some adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300, the second electrode layer 303 extends outward from the isolation opening 210 and is connected to the side of the isolation structure 200 opposite to the substrate 100, and the orthogonal projection of the second electrode layer 303 on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In another embodiment, in at least some adjacent light-emitting unit groups 300, a first light-emitting functional layer 302 extends outward from the isolation opening 210 and is connected to the side of the isolation structure 200 opposite to the substrate 100, and the orthogonal projection of the first light-emitting functional layer 302 on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100; and a second electrode layer 303 extends outward from the isolation opening 210 and is connected to the side of the isolation structure 200 opposite to the substrate 100, and the orthogonal projection of the second electrode layer 303 on the substrate 100 covers the orthogonal projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. Thus, the first light-emitting functional layer 302 and / or the second electrode layer 303 can effectively protect the first electrode layer 301 in the via, further reducing the risk of light-emitting unit group failure.
[0112] In one embodiment, the first electrode layer 301 is located between the substrate 100 and the isolation structure 200, and is at least partially exposed to the isolation opening 210.

[0115] For example, the light-emitting device 310 includes light-emitting devices of various colors, such as a red light-emitting device R, a green light-emitting device G, and a blue light-emitting device B. For example, the first light-emitting device 311 is a blue light-emitting device B, the second light-emitting device 312 is a red light-emitting device R, and the third light-emitting device 313 is a green light-emitting device G. Of course, the above possible configurations of the light-emitting devices are merely examples and should not be construed as limiting this application. The colors of the first light-emitting device 311, the second light-emitting device 312, and the third light-emitting device 313 can be flexibly selected according to actual circumstances, and will not be elaborated further here.
[0116] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6 The orthographic projection of the second package portion 420 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100. In another embodiment, referring to... Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the top view of the display panel shown shows that the orthographic projection of the third encapsulation portion 430 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of at least one via 120 on the substrate 100.
