For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0028] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and optional embodiments.
[0029] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary display panel of the present application, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a display panel of the first embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1-2 As shown, the present application discloses a display panel, which includes a display area and a non-display area. The display panel also includes a base substrate 110, a driving circuit layer 120, a display film layer, a packaging film layer 140, a packaging barrier dam 150, a flat layer 160 and a touch wiring layer 170, wherein the driving circuit layer 120 is arranged on the base substrate 110; the display film layer is arranged on the driving circuit layer 120; the packaging film layer 140 is arranged on the display film layer and extends from the display area to the non-display area; the packaging barrier dam 150 is arranged between the driving circuit layer 120 and the packaging film layer 140 and is located in the non-display area; the flat layer 160 is arranged on the packaging film layer 140, and the touch wiring layer 170 is arranged on the flat layer 160; wherein the flat layer 160 is provided with a via 180 in the area where the packaging barrier dam 150 is located, and the touch wiring layer 170 extends along the via 180 to the edge of the display panel.
[0030] The present application sets a via 180 on the flat layer 160 and utilizes the certain height of the encapsulation barrier layer so that the height difference of the cross section formed by the flat layer 160 and the encapsulation barrier layer is relatively low. In the process of the touch wiring layer 170 on the flat layer 160 extending downward from the position of the encapsulation barrier layer, especially during the etching process, there are problems such as overexposure or weak explosion, uneven photoresist, and incomplete etching of the touch wiring layer 170 material. The present application reduces the probability of overexposure or weak explosion by reducing the height difference of the cross section, improves the incomplete etching of the touch wiring layer 170 material due to uneven photoresist in the patterning process of the touch wiring layer 170, makes the line width of the touch wiring 171 in the touch wiring layer 170 more uniform, and avoids the problem of disconnection and short circuit of the touch wiring 171 due to process reasons when the touch wiring 171 is formed on the cross section of the flat layer 160, so that the touch wiring 171 has good performance, and the display and touch effects of the display panel are better.
[0031] Among them, see Figure 1 As shown, the cross-sectional height difference between the upper surface of the flat layer 160 and the upper surface of the encapsulation barrier layer is less than the cross-sectional height difference between the upper surface of the flat layer 160 and the upper surface of the display panel binding side. Specifically, the substrate 110 of the display panel and the flat layer 160 include a driving circuit layer 120, a display film layer and an encapsulation film layer 140. When the flat layer 160 directly descends to the binding area at the edge of the display panel, there will be a large film layer step difference, forming the above-mentioned cross section, that is, the side of the flat layer 160. When the touch wiring layer 170 provided on the flat layer 160 extends from the flat layer 160 to the display panel binding area, the film layer interface is relatively steep, that is, the cross section of the flat layer 160 and the binding area on the substrate 110 is relatively steep, and it is easy to have disconnection and short circuit problems. Among them, when the cross section is steeper, when etching the touch wiring 171, there is uneven photoresist, which is easy to accumulate at a lower place, resulting in the photoresist being thinner closer to the upper part. Overexposure or underexposure occurs during subsequent exposure, causing the touch wiring layer 170 to be etched more toward the top and less toward the bottom, resulting in the touch wiring 171 being narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. In worse cases, the top is completely etched, which can easily lead to short circuits or open circuits.
[0032] On the one hand, the present application utilizes the height of the encapsulation barrier layer, and etches the flat layer 160 at the position of the encapsulation barrier layer to form a via 180. The cross section of the via 180 is not very steep, and the distance is short, which greatly reduces the possibility of the above-mentioned problem, thereby improving the short circuit and short circuit phenomenon of the touch wiring layer 170. On the other hand, the connection line 121 can be preset by utilizing the position of the encapsulation barrier layer. When etching the via 180, the connection line 121 is connected to the touch wiring 171 from the via 180 to achieve electrical connection of the touch wiring layer 170.
[0033] In one embodiment, the via 180 can be set as a large through-slot or a plurality of independent through-holes. When the via 180 is a large through-slot, the plurality of touch wirings 171 in the touch wiring layer 170 are connected to the corresponding connection wires 121 after passing through the through-slots. When the via 180 is a plurality of independent through-holes, each touch wiring 171 is connected to a connection wire 121 through a through-hole. Relatively speaking, the independent through-hole method allows each touch wiring 171 to be set separately, with better insulation, but the process is more difficult.
[0034] Specifically, the driving circuit layer 120 includes a stacked arrangement of multiple conductive layers and multiple insulating layers. Thin film transistors and driving circuits are formed in the driving circuit layer 120, and a pixel driving circuit for driving the light-emitting unit to display is formed by the thin film transistors and the driving circuits.
[0035] Figure 3 is a schematic top view of the display panel of the present application, Figure 4 This application Figure 3 Schematic diagram of M magnification, Figure 5 This application Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the cross section of the AA cutting line, Figure 6 This application Figure 4 BB cutting line cross-sectional diagram, see Figure 3-6 As shown, for a general display panel 100, the film layer position of the touch wiring layer 170 can also be set below the flat layer 160, that is, the wiring is set from above the encapsulation layer to below the flat layer 160, so as to avoid the problem of short circuit and disconnection of the touch wiring layer 170 caused by the cross section of the flat layer 160. However, for using a partition structure in the non-display area 102 to isolate the organic light-emitting unit in the light-emitting unit, or setting a partition structure in the non-display area 102 to increase the water vapor intrusion path, or setting a partition structure in the non-display area 102, after the partition structure is set in the non-display area 102, when the touch wiring layer 170 is formed on the partition structure, the touch wiring 171 will be disconnected due to the partition structure.
[0036] By setting the flat layer 160, the present application can flatten the partition structure through the flat layer 160, so that the touch wiring layer 170 is set on the flat layer 160, avoiding the disconnection problem of the touch wiring 171 where the partition structure is located. Of course, this embodiment is not limited to the touch wiring layer 170. When it is necessary to form a metal wiring above the partition structure and the flat layer 160 is needed to flatten the metal wiring, the metal wiring also falls within the protection scope of this implementation.
[0037] In this embodiment, the planar layer 160 can be used to fill the partition part protruding from the conductive part between the conductive part and the partition part in the partition structure, so that it no longer has a partitioning function, so that the touch wiring 171 above the planar layer 160 can pass smoothly. When the cross-section problem of the planar layer 160 in the previous embodiment exists, the solution in the first embodiment can also be adopted, which will not be repeated here.
[0038] In another embodiment, a plurality of flat layers 160 may be designed. After the bottom flat layer 160 completes the flattening partition structure, a touch line layer 170 is formed and then another flat layer 160 is formed to reduce the film height of the flat layer 160 near the binding area so that the touch line 171 can extend directly to the binding area.
[0039] In this embodiment, a partition structure is specifically used as the encapsulation barrier dam 150 for specific description.
[0040] The present application discloses a display panel, wherein the display panel 100 includes a display area 101 and a non-display area 102, and the display panel also includes a base substrate 110, a driving circuit layer 120, a display film layer 130, a packaging film layer 140, a packaging barrier dam 150, a flat layer 160 and a touch wiring layer 170, wherein the driving circuit layer 120 is arranged on the base substrate 110; the display film layer 130 is arranged on the driving circuit layer 120; the packaging film layer 140 is arranged on the display film layer 130, and the touch wiring layer 170 is composed of the above-mentioned The display area 101 extends toward the non-display area 102; the encapsulation barrier dam 150 is disposed between the driving circuit layer 120 and the encapsulation film layer 140, and is located in the non-display area; the flat layer 160 is disposed on the encapsulation film layer 140, and the touch wiring layer 170 is disposed on the flat layer 160; wherein the flat layer 160 is provided with a via 180 in the area where the encapsulation barrier dam 150 is located, and the touch wiring layer 170 extends toward the edge of the display panel along the via 180.
[0041] Specifically, the encapsulation barrier dam 150 includes a first barrier dam 151 and a second barrier dam 152 . The first barrier dam 151 is disposed around the display area 101 , and the second barrier dam 152 is disposed around the first barrier dam 151 .
[0042] Among them, the packaging film layer 140 includes a first inorganic layer 141, an organic packaging layer 142 and a second inorganic layer 143, the organic packaging layer 142 is arranged between the first inorganic layer 141 and the second inorganic layer 143, and the second inorganic layer 143 is arranged on the first inorganic layer 141; the organic packaging layer 142 extends from the display area 101 to the non-display area 102 and is blocked by the first blocking dam 151; the first inorganic layer 141 and the second inorganic layer 143 extend from the display area 101 to the non-display area 102 and cover the first blocking dam 151 and the second blocking dam 152.
[0043] The main function of the encapsulation barrier dam 150 in this embodiment is to prevent the organic encapsulation layer 142 from diffusing and overflowing outward. When the organic encapsulation layer 142 is manufactured by inkjet printing, it takes a certain amount of time to level and then solidify. During the leveling process, the encapsulation barrier dam 150 is required to block and prevent diffusion to the edge of the display panel 100.
[0044] When the display panel 100 uses the maskless evaporation technology to form the light-emitting film layer, the encapsulation barrier dam 150 in this embodiment uses the partition structure in the maskless evaporation technology to achieve leveling barrier for the organic encapsulation layer 142 , that is, it is formed synchronously with the partition structure of the display area 101 .
[0045] The display film layer 130 includes a pixel definition layer 131, a conductive partition structure 134 and a plurality of light-emitting units. The display area can be divided into an opening area and a non-opening area. The light-emitting units are arranged in the opening area. Two adjacent light-emitting units are separated by the pixel definition layer 131 and the conductive partition structure 134. The pixel definition layer 131 is arranged on the driving circuit layer 120, and the conductive partition structure 134 is arranged on the pixel definition layer 131; the conductive partition structure 134 is formed by the same process as the first blocking dam 151 and the second blocking dam 152.
[0046] The first blocking dam 151 includes a first conductive portion 1511 and a first partition portion 1512, wherein the first partition portion 1512 is disposed on the first conductive portion 1511, and a radial width of the first partition portion 1512 is greater than a radial width of the first conductive portion 1511; the second blocking portion 153 includes a second conductive portion 1531 and a second partition portion 1532, wherein the second partition portion 1532 is disposed on the second conductive portion 1531, and a radial width of the second partition portion 1532 is greater than a radial width of the second conductive portion 1531;
[0047] The conductive partition structure 134 includes a third conductive portion 1341 and a third partition portion 1342 . The third partition portion 1342 is disposed on the third conductive portion 1341 , and a radial width of the third partition portion 1342 is greater than a radial width of the third conductive portion 1341 .
[0048] The first conductive portion 1511 , the second conductive portion 1531 and the third conductive portion 1341 are formed by the same process, and the first partition portion 1512 , the second partition portion 1532 and the third partition portion 1342 are formed by the same process. Specifically, after the pixel definition layer 131 is formed on the driving circuit layer 120, the conductive part material and the partition part material are deposited in sequence on the entire surface, and a patterning process is performed after the deposition is completed, retaining the partition part of the non-opening area in the display area 101 and the partition part of the non-display area 102 located in the encapsulation barrier dam 150 area to form a first partition part 1512, a second partition part 1532 and a third partition part 1342; using the first partition part 1512, the second partition part 1532 and the third partition part 1342 as a protective layer, a wet etching process is performed on the conductive part material, so that the widths of the first partition part 1512, the second partition part 1532 and the third partition part 1342 are respectively larger than the widths of the first conductive part 1511, the second conductive part 1531 and the third conductive part 1341.
[0049] It can be understood that the width of the third partition portion 1342 mentioned in the display area 101 refers to the width of the third partition portion 1342 between two adjacent light-emitting units. The width of the first partition portion 1512 mentioned in the non-display area 102 refers to the width in the direction from the display area 101 to the non-display area 102 and perpendicular to the edge of the display panel 100. In other words, the first partition portion 1512 is arranged around the display area 101, and the surrounding extension direction is the length direction, and the direction perpendicular to the length direction is the width direction, and the direction of film stacking is the thickness direction.
[0050] In this embodiment, the partition part is a key structure used in the maskless evaporation technology. The width of the upper part (third partition part 1342) of the conductive partition structure 134 is greater than the width of the lower part (third conductive part 1341), so that no mask plate is required during the evaporation process, so that a plurality of patterned light-emitting units are formed in the light-emitting film layer process. In particular, when forming the organic light-emitting layer in the light-emitting unit, the conductive partition structure 134 is used to separate the organic light-emitting layers of the light-emitting units at different positions to form a plurality of independently packaged light-emitting units. The conductive partition structure 134 is also called a hanging structure or an eaves structure. For the cathode layer in the light-emitting unit, it can be connected through the third conductive part 1341 in the conductive partition structure 134, so as to form the cathode layer wiring on the front side and reduce the resistance drop of the cathode.
[0051] Since the first barrier dam 151 and the second barrier dam 152 are respectively designed with a partition structure, when the touch line 171 is formed above the package barrier dam 150, the touch line 171 may be disconnected due to the partition function of the first barrier dam 151 and the second barrier dam 152. In this embodiment, a flat layer 160 is further provided on the package barrier dam 150, so that the touch line 171 is designed to be routed along the flat layer 160.
[0052] Furthermore, the second blocking dam 152 includes a plurality of second blocking portions 153 that are spaced apart, and the second blocking portions 153 are insulated from each other; under the orthographic projection of the base substrate 110, the plurality of vias 180 overlap with the plurality of second blocking portions 153 respectively; the driving circuit layer 120 is provided with a plurality of connecting wires 121, and the touch wiring layer 170 is electrically connected to the connecting wires 121 through the second blocking portions 153.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first blocking dam 151 is mainly used to block the organic encapsulation layer 142, and the second blocking dam 152 is mainly used to connect the touch wiring layer 170. Since each touch wiring 171 needs to be connected separately, the second blocking dam 152 needs to be set as a plurality of second blocking portions 153, and each second blocking portion 153 is used to connect a touch wiring 171 with the connecting line 121. It is worth mentioning that the number of the second blocking portions 153 is consistent with the number of the touch wiring 171. In the area where the touch wiring layer 170 is not provided, the second blocking dam 152 is still a continuous surrounding structure, and a plurality of second blocking portions 153 arranged at intervals are only provided in the area where the touch wiring layer 170 is located.
[0054] In one embodiment, the touch wiring layer 170 is electrically connected to the connection line 121 through the second conductive part 1531. That is, when forming the via 180, the second partition part 1532, the first inorganic layer 141, and the second inorganic layer 143 above the second conductive part 1531 are opened, so that the touch wiring 171 in the touch wiring layer 170 is directly connected to the second conductive part 1531, and connected to the connection line 121 provided on the driving circuit layer 120 through the second conductive part 1531, and the connection line 121 provided on the driving circuit layer 120 transmits the electrical signal to the external driving chip.
[0055] In another embodiment, the second partition portion 1532 is also formed of a conductive material, and the touch wiring layer 170 is electrically connected to the connection line 121 through the second partition portion 1532 and the second conductive portion 1531. In this embodiment, the second partition portion 1532 does not need to be punched, and can be directly connected to the connection line 121 below the second conductive portion 1531 through the second partition portion 1532 and the second conductive portion 1531.
[0056] In this embodiment, it is no longer necessary to punch holes in the second partition portion 1532, and the electrical connection can be directly performed by using the second partition portion 1532. However, it is worth noting that the material of the second conductive portion 1531 is different from the conductive material used by the second partition portion 1532. For example, the material of the second partition portion 1532 is Ti material, and the material of the second conductive portion 1531 is aluminum or molybdenum material. When the second conductive portion 1531 is etched, the second partition portion 1532 will not be affected.
[0057] Specifically, the first inorganic layer 141 and the second inorganic layer 143 are provided with through holes corresponding to the via holes 180 , and the touch wiring layer 170 is connected to the second blocking portion 153 through the through holes.
[0058] During this process, the via 180 and the through hole in this embodiment are respectively completed by etching processes. When the second partition portion 1532 is formed by conductive material, there is no need to further etch the second partition portion 1532. Holes can be directly dug in the first inorganic layer 141 and the second inorganic layer 143 above the second partition portion 1532.
[0059] Specifically, the driving circuit layer 120 also includes an insulating layer 122, and the insulating layer 122 covers the connecting line 121; a first through hole 123 is provided on the insulating layer 122, and the second conductive part 1531 passes through the first through hole 123 and is connected to the connecting line 121; under the orthographic projection of the base substrate 110, the first through hole 123 overlaps with the via 180.
[0060] In this embodiment, the first through hole 123 is directly disposed below the second conductive portion 1531 of the second blocking portion 153, so that when the second conductive portion 1531 is formed, it is directly electrically connected to the connecting wire 121 disposed thereunder. The advantage of this embodiment is that when only one insulating layer 122 is disposed between the connecting wire 121 and the second blocking portion 153, the process of forming the first through hole 123 on the insulating layer 122 is relatively convenient, and direct connection is possible.
[0061] However, when other film layers are disposed under the second blocking portion 153 , it is necessary to arrange the via hole 180 and the through hole on the insulating layer 122 in a non-overlapping manner.
[0062] Figure 7 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of another display panel of the second embodiment of the present application, see Figure 7As shown, the display film layer 130 includes a pixel definition layer 131, and the pixel definition layer 131 is arranged in the display area 101. The pixel definition layer 131 is also provided with a first pixel definition layer extension portion 132 and a second pixel definition layer extension portion 133 in the non-display area 102. The first pixel definition layer extension portion 132 is arranged under the first blocking dam 151, and the second pixel definition layer extension portion 133 is arranged under the second blocking dam 152.
[0063] In this embodiment, the pixel definition layer 131, the first pixel definition layer extension 132 and the second pixel definition layer extension 133 are formed in the same process, and the extension material of the pixel definition layer 131 is arranged in the encapsulation barrier dam 150 area to raise the first barrier dam 151 and the second barrier dam 152. It can be understood that in the process of raising the first barrier dam 151 and the second barrier dam 152, the planarization film layer in the driving circuit layer 120 can also be used to increase the height of the first barrier dam 151 and the second barrier dam 152, thereby forming a better blocking effect. Among them, the material used for the planarization film layer and the above-mentioned planarization layer 160 can be the same or different. The planarization film layer in the driving circuit layer 120 can be formed by organic material or inorganic material, but the planarization layer 160 is generally coated with an organic layer to achieve film planarization.
[0064] Among them, the driving circuit layer 120 also includes an insulating layer 122, and the insulating layer 122 covers the connecting line 121; the second blocking portion 153 is also provided with a second blocking portion extension 154, and under the orthographic projection of the base substrate 110, the second blocking portion extension 154 does not overlap with the second pixel definition layer extension 133; a second through hole 124 is provided on the insulating layer 122, and the second through hole 124 is arranged under the second blocking portion extension 154, and the second conductive portion 1531 passes through the second through hole 124 to be connected to the connecting line 121, and under the orthographic projection of the base substrate, the second through hole 124 does not overlap with the via 180.
[0065] In the design of this embodiment, the second blocking portion extension 154 is arranged on the side of the second pixel definition layer extension 133 by setting an extension portion. The second blocking portion extension 154 does not need to be arranged on the second pixel definition layer extension 133. By forming a second through hole 124 between the second blocking portion extension 154 and the connecting line 121, the second conductive portion 1531 also extends to the second through hole 124 and is connected to the connecting line 121, thereby realizing the transmission of electrical signals of the touch wiring layer 170.
[0066] In one embodiment, the height of the first barrier dam 151 is higher than the height of the second barrier dam 152. The main purpose of the higher height of the first barrier dam 151 is to increase the leveling capability of the organic encapsulation layer 142 and prevent the organic encapsulation layer 142 from overflowing. The height of the second barrier dam 152 does not need to be limited. Of course, the higher the height of the second barrier dam 152, the smaller the cross-sectional height difference between the corresponding flat layer 160 and the second barrier dam 152, and the better the process accuracy of the touch wiring 171.
