[0002] Seamless splicing technology refers to the use of multiple display panels to be spliced into a large display device. The driving circuit is set in the binding area of the display panel, and a protective film is attached to the front and back of the display panel. The protective film is used to prevent contamination of the pixel area. The metal material is deposited on the side of the display panel using physical vapor deposition technology. After the coating is completed, the protective film is torn off, and the metal layer deposited on the side is patterned or laser-formed to form side metal traces. The side metal traces are used to connect the circuits on the front of the display panel to the circuits on the back, so as to achieve conduction between the display panel and the driving circuit.

[0043] Specifically, the display panel 100 includes a substrate 10, and the substrate 10 includes a first surface 11, a second surface 12 and a side surface 13. The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and the side surface 13 is used to connect the first surface 11 and the second surface 12. It should be noted that the side surface 13 can be a completely vertical surface or a non-completely vertical surface. The figure only shows a case where the side surface 13 is a completely vertical surface. It can be understood that the side surface 13 can also be a beveled surface extending from one side of the first surface 11, or a beveled surface extending from one side of the second surface 12, or a side surface that connects the beveled surface extending from the first surface 11 and the beveled surface extending from the second surface 12 to each other.
[0044] A first metal pad 21 is disposed on the first surface 11 of the substrate 10 in the display panel 100, and a second metal pad 22 is disposed on the second surface 12 of the substrate 10 in the display panel 100. The projections of the first metal pad 21 and the second metal pad 22 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located may overlap or may not overlap, and the present disclosure does not make any specific restrictions on this.
[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The display panel 100 also includes a first insulating layer 31, which is at least partially located on a side of the first metal pad 21 away from the first surface 11 of the substrate 10, and the first metal pad 21 is at least partially exposed from the first insulating layer 31; the display panel 100 may also include a second insulating layer 32, which is at least partially located on a side of the second metal pad 22 away from the first surface 11 of the substrate 10, and the second metal pad 22 is at least partially exposed from the second insulating layer 32.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 In an optional embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the display panel 100 includes a first insulating layer 31, the first insulating layer 31 includes a micro cavity 00, and the micro cavity 00 is located on a surface of the first insulating layer 31 facing away from the first metal pad 21. In this embodiment, the display panel 100 does not include a second insulating layer 32. Please refer to Figure 3 In another optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the display panel 100 includes a first insulating layer 31, the first insulating layer 31 includes a micro cavity 00, and the micro cavity 00 is located on a side surface of the first insulating layer 31 away from the first metal pad 21, and the display panel 100 also includes a second insulating layer 32, the second insulating layer 32 includes a micro cavity 00, and the micro cavity 00 is located on a side surface of the second insulating layer 32 away from the second metal pad 22. Please refer to Figure 4In another optional embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the display panel 100 does not include the first insulating layer 31, the display panel 100 includes a second insulating layer 32, the second insulating layer 32 includes a micro cavity 00, and the micro cavity 00 is located on a side surface of the second insulating layer 32 away from the second metal pad 22.
[0047] The display panel 100 also includes a connecting wire 40, which is at least partially located on the side 13, and the two ends of the connecting wire 40 are respectively connected to the first metal pad 21 and the second metal pad 22. Further, one end of the connecting wire 40 is connected to a portion of the first metal pad 21 exposed from the first insulating layer 31, and the other end of the connecting wire 40 is connected to a portion of the second metal pad 22 exposed from the second insulating layer 32; along a direction parallel to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the connecting wires 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 are at least partially disconnected.
[0048] In this way, by setting a micro cavity 00 on the surface of the side of the insulating layer 30 away from the metal pad 20, the connecting wires 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 are at least partially disconnected. The connecting wires 40 can be connected to the metal pad 20 through coating, while the connecting wires 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 are naturally disconnected, thereby reducing the warping or falling off of the connecting wires 40 caused by tearing the film, thereby improving the manufacturing yield.
[0049] Figure 5 Shown Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the display panel in the A-A' direction, Figure 6 Shown Figure 1 A BB' cross-section of the display panel is shown in FIG. Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a micro cavity structure provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 Shown Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the panel in the A-A' direction is shown in the figure. Figures 1 to 8 In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, along the direction from the substrate 10 to the insulating layer 30 , the micro cavity 00 is a structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
[0050] Specifically, the micro cavity 00 is located on the side surface of the insulating layer 30 away from the substrate 10. In the direction from the substrate 10 to the insulating layer 30, the micro cavity 00 is a narrow upper and wide lower structure. The "upper" here refers to the part of the micro cavity 00 that is relatively far away from the substrate 10, and the "lower" here refers to the part of the micro cavity 00 that is relatively close to the substrate 10. Please refer to Figure 7 When the micro cavity 00 includes a first sub-portion 001 and a second sub-portion 002, the first sub-portion 001 of the micro cavity 00 is relatively far away from the substrate 10, and the second sub-portion 002 of the micro cavity 00 is relatively close to the substrate 10. The first sub-portion 001 of the micro cavity 00 which is relatively far away from the substrate 10 is narrower than the second sub-portion 002 of the micro cavity 00 which is relatively close to the substrate 10; please refer to Figure 8When the insulating layer 30 includes only one film layer 301, the micro cavity 00 is composed of only one part. In the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the cross-section of the micro cavity 00 is a trapezoid. The short horizontal side of the trapezoid is relatively far away from the substrate 10, and the long horizontal side of the trapezoid is relatively close to the substrate 10. The trapezoidal micro cavity 00 is a narrow-upper-wide-lower structure. In this way, by setting the micro cavity 00 to a narrow-upper-wide-lower structure, when the connecting wire 40 is formed by coating, based on the special structure of the micro cavity 00, the connecting wires 40 on the left and right sides of the micro cavity 00 are naturally disconnected, thereby reducing the warping or falling off of the connecting part of the connecting wire 40 and the metal pad 20 caused by the subsequent film tearing process, resulting in poor connection.
[0051] Please combine Figures 1 to 8 In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, the micro cavity 00 does not penetrate the insulating layer 30 .
[0052] Specifically, the micro cavity 00 is located on the surface of the insulating layer 30 away from the substrate 10. In the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the micro cavity 00 does not penetrate the insulating layer 30, that is, the micro cavity 00 located on the side of the insulating layer 30 away from the substrate 10 has a minimum distance greater than 0 from the metal pad 20. When the coating forms the connecting wiring 40, there is a partial insulating layer 30 between the coating material that partially falls to the bottom of the micro cavity 00 and the metal pad 20, which can insulate the coating material located inside the micro cavity 00 from the metal pad 20. In this way, the micro cavity 00 does not penetrate the insulating layer 30, and when the coating forms the connecting wiring 40, the risk of short circuit caused by the coating material falling to the bottom of the micro cavity 00 and connecting with the metal pad 20 can be reduced, thereby improving the safety of the display panel 100.
[0053] Please combine Figures 1 to 6 In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of first metal pads 21 are provided on the first surface 11, and the plurality of first metal pads 21 are arranged at intervals; the first insulating layer 31 includes a first micro cavity 01 and a second micro cavity 02, and along a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the projections of the first micro cavity 01 and the first metal pad 21 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlap, and the projections of the second micro cavity 02 and the first metal pad 21 on the substrate 10 do not overlap.
[0054] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the substrate 10 includes a first surface 11, and along a direction parallel to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the first surface 11 is provided with a plurality of first metal pads 21 arranged at intervals, and along a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the first insulating layer 31 is located on a side of the first metal pad 21 away from the substrate 10, please refer to Figure 5 , the first insulating layer 31 includes a first micro cavity 01, and the projection of the first micro cavity 01 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first metal pad 21 on the substrate 10, please refer to Figure 6 The first insulating layer 31 includes a second micro cavity 02, and the projection of the second micro cavity 02 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the projection of the first metal liner 21 on the substrate 10, that is, along the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the surface of the first insulating layer 31 on one side away from the first metal liner 21 includes the first micro cavity 01 and the second micro cavity 02, wherein, along the direction from the substrate 10 to the first insulating layer 31, the first micro cavity 01 is located above the first metal liner 21, and the second micro cavity 02 is not located above the first metal liner 2 1; along the direction parallel to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the second micro cavity 02 is located between two adjacent first metal pads 21. In this way, by arranging the second micro cavity 02 on the first insulating layer 31 located between two adjacent first metal pads 21 in the direction parallel to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, and in the direction along the first insulating layer 31 pointing to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, there is no first metal pad 21 below the second micro cavity 02, which can improve the water and oxygen isolation effect of the substrate 10 and reduce the short circuit probability of the display panel 100.
[0055] Please combine Figures 1 to 8 In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, the size of the first micro cavity 01 is smaller than the size of the second micro cavity 02 .
[0056] Specifically, the side of the first insulating layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10 includes a first micro cavity 01 and a second micro cavity 02. In a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the first micro cavity 01 at least partially overlaps with the first metal pad 21. In a direction parallel to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the second micro cavity 02 is located between two adjacent first metal pads 21. In an optional embodiment provided in the present disclosure, in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, one first metal pad 21 corresponds to a plurality of first micro cavities 01, and in a direction parallel to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, a plurality of second micro cavities correspond between two adjacent first metal pads 21. 02, the projection of the first micro cavity 01 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located is smaller than the projection of the second micro cavity 02 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located, and the number of the first micro cavity 01 is smaller than the number of the second micro cavity 02. In this way, by arranging the first micro cavity 01 and the second micro cavity 02 on the first insulating layer 31, the specific structure of the first micro cavity 01 and the second micro cavity 02 makes the connecting wires 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 naturally disconnected, and the size of the first micro cavity 01 is designed to be smaller than the size of the second micro cavity 02, so that the connecting wires 40 corresponding to the first metal liner 21 can be disconnected more thoroughly during coating, thereby reducing the probability of warping or falling off of the connecting wires 40 caused by tearing the film.
[0057] Please combine Figures 1 to 8 In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, the first micro cavity 01 is connected to the second micro cavity 02.
[0058] Specifically, along the direction parallel to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the multiple first micro cavities 01 corresponding to the same metal pad 20 are interconnected, the multiple second micro cavities 02 corresponding to two adjacent first metal pads 21 are interconnected, the first micro cavity 01 is connected to the second micro cavity 02, and the connecting wires 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 are at least partially disconnected. Please refer to Figure 1 The first micro cavity 01 is connected with the second micro cavity 02, and a continuous and neat micro cavity 00 channel can be formed on the insulating layer 30, so that the connecting wires 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 are naturally disconnected during film coating. In this way, the first micro cavity 01 is connected with the second micro cavity 02, so that the first micro cavity 01 and the second micro cavity 02 can form a natural transition, and the connecting wires 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 are neatly disconnected, which facilitates the smooth film tearing process.
[0059] Please refer to Figures 7 and 8 In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, the insulating layer 30 includes a first film layer 301 and a second film layer 302, the first film layer 301 is located on the side of the second film layer 302 away from the substrate 10, and the etching rate of the first film layer 301 material is less than the etching rate of the second film layer 302 material.
[0060] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, when there is a micro cavity 00 in the first insulating layer 31, the first insulating layer 31 includes a first film layer 301 and a second film layer 302, the first film layer 301 is located on the side of the second film layer 302 away from the substrate 10, and along the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the micro cavity 00 is located in the first film layer 301 and part of the second film layer 302, and the etching rate of the first film layer 301 material is less than the etching rate of the second film layer 302 material; in another optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, when there is a micro cavity 00 in the second insulating layer 32, the second insulating layer 32 includes a first film layer 301 and a second film layer 302, the first film layer 301 is located on the side of the second film layer 302 away from the substrate 10, and the micro cavity 00 is located in the first film layer 301 and part of the second film layer 302. On the side of the second film layer 302 facing away from the substrate 10, along the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the micro cavity 00 is located in the first film layer 301 and part of the second film layer 302, and the etching rate of the first film layer 301 material is less than the etching rate of the second film layer 302 material; in this way, when the insulating layer 30 is etched to form the micro cavity 00, since the etching rate of the first film layer 301 material is less than the etching rate of the second film layer 302 material, the micro cavity 00 can be naturally formed in the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located. The structure is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is beneficial to the natural disconnection of the connecting wires 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 during coating, thereby reducing the occurrence of undesirable conditions such as warping of the connecting wires 40 caused by film tearing.
[0061] Please refer to Figure 7In an optional embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the micro cavity 00 includes a first sub-portion 001 and a second sub-portion 002, the first sub-portion 001 is located in the first film layer 301, the second sub-portion 002 is located in the second film layer 302, the first sub-portion 001 is connected to the second sub-portion 002, and the inner diameter R1 of the first sub-portion 001 is smaller than the inner diameter R2 of the second sub-portion 002.
[0062] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The first insulating layer 31 includes a first micro cavity 01 and a second micro cavity 02. The projection of the first micro cavity 01 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located overlaps with the projection of the first metal liner 21 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located. The first micro cavity 01 includes a first sub-portion 001. In the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the first sub-portion 001 is located in the first film layer 301 relatively far away from the first metal liner 21. The first micro cavity 01 includes a second sub-portion 002. The second sub-portion 002 is located in the second film layer 302 relatively close to the first metal liner 21. The first sub-portion 001 and the second sub-portion 002 are connected. The inner diameter R1 of the first sub-portion 001 is smaller than the inner diameter R2 of the second sub-portion 002. That is, in the direction from the substrate 10 to the first insulating layer 31, the first micro cavity 01 is a narrow upper and wide lower structure. Please combine Figure 6 to Figure 7 The projection of the second micro cavity 02 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located does not overlap with the projection of the first metal liner 21 on the plane where the substrate 10 is located. The second micro cavity 02 includes a first sub-portion 001. In a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the first sub-portion 001 is located at a first film layer 301 relatively far away from the substrate 10. The second micro cavity 02 includes a second sub-portion 002. The second sub-portion 002 is located at a second film layer 302 relatively close to the substrate 10. The first sub-portion 001 and the second sub-portion 00 2, the inner diameter R1 of the first sub-portion 001 is smaller than the inner diameter R2 of the second sub-portion 002, that is, in the direction from the substrate 10 to the first insulating layer 31, the second micro cavity 02 is a structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom; in this way, by arranging the micro cavity 00 into sub-portions that are mutually interpenetrating but located in different film layers, when etching the insulating layer 30, based on the material properties of the film layer and the difference in etching rate, the micro cavity 00 can naturally form a structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is beneficial to the natural disconnection of the connecting wires 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 during film coating.
[0063] It should be noted that the figure only shows the case where the first sub-portion 001 and the second sub-portion 002 of the micro cavity 00 are rectangular. It can be understood that the first sub-portion 001 and the second sub-portion 002 can also be isosceles trapezoids or unequal trapezoids, etc., which are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. They are not listed here one by one and can be set according to actual process requirements.
[0064] It should be noted that the figure only shows the first microcavity 01 and the second microcavity 02 of the first insulating layer 31. It can be understood that when the display panel 100 includes the second insulating layer 32, and the second insulating layer 32 includes the microcavity 00, the second insulating layer 32 has the first microcavity 01 and the second microcavity 02, and the first microcavity 01 in the second insulating layer 32 includes the first sub-portion 001 and the second sub-portion 002, the first sub-portion 001 and the second sub-portion 002 are connected, and the inner diameter of the first sub-portion 001 is smaller than the second sub-portion 002, that is, in the direction from the substrate 10 to the second insulating layer 32, the first microcavity 01 is a narrow upper and wide lower structure; the first sub-portion 001 of the first microcavity 01 is located relatively far The first micro cavity 01 is located in the first film layer 301 relatively away from the substrate 10, and the second sub-portion 002 of the first micro cavity 01 is located in the second film layer 302 relatively close to the substrate 10; the second micro cavity 02 in the second insulating layer 32 includes the first sub-portion 001 and the second sub-portion 002, the first sub-portion 001 of the second micro cavity 02 is located in the first film layer 301 relatively away from the substrate 10, and the second sub-portion 002 of the second micro cavity 02 is located in the second film layer 302 relatively close to the substrate 10, the first sub-portion 001 and the second sub-portion 002 are connected, and the inner diameter R1 of the first sub-portion 001 is smaller than the inner diameter R2 of the second sub-portion 002, that is, in the direction from the substrate 10 to the second insulating layer 32, the second micro cavity 02 is a structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 8 In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, the cross-section of the micro cavity 00 in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located is a trapezoid.
[0066] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the insulating layer 30 only includes the first film layer 301, and the microcavity 00 is located on the surface of the first film layer 301 away from the substrate 10, and does not penetrate the first film layer 301. In the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the cross-section of the microcavity 00 is trapezoidal. When the coating forms the connecting wiring 40, the microcavity 00 with the trapezoidal structure can make the coating material that falls into the bottom of the microcavity 00 and the connecting wiring 40 on both sides of the microcavity 00 naturally disconnected, so as to facilitate the subsequent film tearing process. In this way, when the insulating layer 30 only includes the first film layer 301, by setting the microcavity 00 into a trapezoidal structure with a narrow upper and a wide lower part, during the coating process, the connecting wiring 40 on both sides of the microcavity 00 can be naturally disconnected without adding any process, and will not form adhesion with the coating material that falls to the bottom of the microcavity 00, thereby reducing the occurrence of undesirable conditions such as warping or falling off of the connecting wiring 40 during film tearing.
[0067] Fig. 9 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the relative width of a metal line and a micro cavity provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figures 1 to 9In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, in the display panel 100 provided by the present disclosure, a metal line 41 exists in the micro cavity 00, and the maximum width H1 of the metal line 41 is less than the maximum width R2 of the micro cavity 00; the metal line 41 and the connecting line 40 are formed in the same process. It should be noted that the maximum width R2 of the micro cavity 00 is the maximum inner diameter R2 of the micro cavity 00.
[0068] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, after the surface of the insulating layer 30 facing away from the substrate 10 is etched to form the micro cavity 00, the first surface 11, the second surface 12, and the side surface 13 of the substrate 10 are plated. After the coating is completed, the coating material deposited on the side surface 13, at least a portion of the first surface 11, and at least a portion of the second surface 12 forms a connecting line 40, and the connecting line 40 is used to connect the metal pads 20 on the first surface 11 and the second surface 12. The coating material deposited inside the micro cavity 00 forms a metal wire 41. The micro cavity 00 has a narrow upper and wide lower structure, so that the micro cavity 00 is The maximum width H1 of the metal wire 41 deposited inside the microcavity 00 is smaller than the maximum inner diameter R2 of the microcavity 00. Thus, during the coating process, the connecting wiring 40 is formed on the surface of the substrate 10 and the metal wire 41 is formed inside the microcavity 00. Due to the narrow upper and wide lower structure of the microcavity 00, the maximum width H1 of the metal wire 41 is smaller than the maximum width R2 of the microcavity 00, and the metal wire 41 will not be lifted up during subsequent film tearing, which is conducive to the deposition of the metal wire 41 inside the microcavity 00 to form a continuous metal wiring, which is convenient for connecting with the anti-static circuit of the display panel 100, thereby improving the safety of the display panel 100.
[0069] Please combine Figures 1 to 9 In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, the display panel 100 includes an anti-static circuit, and the metal wire 41 is connected to the anti-static circuit.
[0070] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the display panel 100 includes an anti-static circuit, which is located at the periphery of the display area. In a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, in the same insulating layer 30, a plurality of first micro-cavities 01 corresponding to the same metal pad 20 are interconnected, a plurality of second micro-cavities 02 corresponding to two adjacent metal pads 20 are interconnected, and the first micro-cavity 01 is connected to the second micro-cavity 02. Please refer to Figure 1The interconnected micro cavities 00 form a continuous channel. When the connecting wiring 40 is formed by coating, at least part of the coating material is deposited on the bottom of the micro cavity 00 to form a continuous metal wire 41. The continuous metal wire 41 inside the multiple micro cavities 00 is connected to the anti-static circuit in the display panel 100 to prevent the connecting wiring 40 from being damaged by electrostatics in subsequent processes, thereby improving the anti-static effect of the display panel 100 and ensuring product reliability. In this way, by connecting the metal wire 41 in the multiple interconnected micro cavities 00 with the anti-static circuit of the display panel 100, the anti-static effect of the display panel 100 can be improved, thereby improving the safety and stability of the display panel 100.
[0071] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In another optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, along a direction parallel to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the same insulating layer 30 includes a plurality of micro cavities 00, and the plurality of micro cavities 00 are interconnected. The coating process forms connecting traces 40 on the surface of the first insulating layer 31 of the first surface 11, the side surface 13, and the surface of the second insulating layer 32 of the second surface 12. After the metal wire 41 is formed inside the micro cavity 00, in combination with the subsequent packaging process, a light shielding layer 50 is filled above the metal wire 41 of the micro cavity 00. The light shielding layer 50 can reduce the reflectivity of the display panel 100 and prevent glue overflow to the display area due to the printing or pad printing process.
[0072] Fig.10 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the relative relationship between the depth of a micro cavity and the thickness of a connecting line provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figures 1 to 10 The present disclosure provides a display panel 100 , wherein a depth h1 of the micro cavity 00 is greater than a thickness L1 of the connecting wire 40 , and a minimum inner diameter R1 of the micro cavity 00 is greater than or equal to 1.2 times the thickness L1 of the connecting wire 40 .
[0073] Specifically, along the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, the maximum depth h1 of the micro cavity 00 is greater than the thickness L1 of the connecting wire 40. The width H1 of the metal wire 41 deposited inside the micro cavity 00 by the coating process is less than the minimum inner diameter R1 of the micro cavity 00. When the coating is a thin film, the minimum inner diameter R1 of the micro cavity 00 is more than 1.2 times the thickness of the coating. In an optional embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the minimum inner diameter R1 of the micro cavity 00 is 1.2 times the thickness L1 of the connecting wire 40. In another optional embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the minimum inner diameter R1 of the micro cavity 00 is 1.2 times the thickness L1 of the connecting wire 40. 1 is 1.5 times the thickness L1 of the connecting wiring 40...They are not listed here one by one, and can be set specifically according to the process requirements, and it is only necessary to satisfy that the minimum inner diameter R1 of the micro cavity 00 is more than 1.2 times the thickness L1 of the connecting wiring 40; in this way, the height difference between the metal wire 41 inside the micro cavity 00 and the connecting wiring 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 is greater than the thickness L1 of the connecting wiring 40 itself, which can achieve the natural disconnection of the connecting wiring 40 on both sides of the micro cavity 00 and the metal wire 41 inside the micro cavity 00 during the coating process, thereby reducing the subsequent process defects caused by the back-adhesion of metal debris during the film tearing process.

[0087] Please combine Figures 1 to 13 The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a display panel 100. The specific method of removing the protective layer 60 in step S7 is: after patterning the metal layer to form the connection wiring 40, the protective layer 60 is removed, and a stripping liquid is used to remove the photoresist dry film; or, the protective layer 60 is removed first, and then the metal layer is laser engraved to form the connection wiring 40.

[0088] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, after the side surface 13 of the substrate 10, the first insulating layer 31 of the first surface 11, and the second insulating layer 32 of the second surface 12 are plated to form a metal layer, the metal layer can be patterned to form a connecting wire 40, and then the protective layer 60 can be torn off.

[0089] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 13 The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a display panel 100. In step S5, when the insulating layer 30 includes a first film layer 301 and a second film layer 302, different etching rates are used for the first film layer 301 and the second film layer 302 of the insulating layer 30 to form a micro cavity 00 that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom; or, when the insulating layer 30 includes only one film layer, a negative photoresist process is used to etch the micro cavity 00 into a structure with a trapezoidal cross-section.
[0090] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, when the insulating layer 30 includes a first film layer 301 and a second film layer 302, the material of the first film layer 301 and the material of the second film layer 302 include one or more of an organic material and an inorganic material, and the material of the first film layer 301 and the material of the second film layer 302 have different compositions, and there is no need to add a mask. A self-alignment process is adopted, and different etching rates are adopted for the first film layer 301 and the second film layer 302 of the insulating layer 30 to form a micro cavity 00 that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The inner diameter R1 of the first sub-portion 001 of the same micro cavity 00 is smaller than the inner diameter R2 of the second sub-portion 002, and there is no misalignment in the openings of the first sub-portion 001 and the second sub-portion 002 of the micro cavity 00; in the present disclosure, In another optional embodiment provided, when the insulating layer 30 includes only the first film layer 301, the material of the first film layer 301 includes one or more of organic materials and inorganic materials.

When the insulating layer 30 includes only one film layer, the micro-cavity 00 with a narrow top and a wide bottom structure can be achieved by process control, with low process risk and reduced production costs.
[0091] It should be noted that when etching the insulating layer 30 , the etching depth of the film layer close to the substrate 10 should be controlled to prevent the metal wire 41 and the metal pad 20 from being short-circuited due to etching.
[0092] In summary, the present disclosure provides a display panel and a manufacturing method, and a display device.
