AI Technical Summary
The luminous efficiency and viewing angle brightness uniformity of existing quantum dot light emitting diodes (QD-OLED) devices are poor, mainly due to the limited absorption of blue light backlight by QD materials.

By independently setting the scattered particles in the first quantum dot layer and the second sub-layer, the wavelength range of light does not completely overlap, thereby improving the absorption rate of light and the uniformity of light output.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and a manufacturing method thereof, and a display device. Background Art
[0002] Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) have the advantages of thin thickness, fast response speed, low driving voltage, wide operating temperature range, self-luminescence, low energy consumption and the ability to prepare flexible devices. They are one of the hot spots in the field of display and lighting research at home and abroad. However, their luminous spectrum is wide and the color gamut coverage has reached its peak, which limits their development. As an emerging technology, quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLED) have the quantum confinement effect of quantum dot materials themselves, which converts their continuous energy bands into discrete energy levels and can emit high-purity light with a narrow peak width. They have attracted much attention and research in recent years. At present, the more mature quantum dot (QD)-OLED devices use non-pixelated blue light OLED devices as backlight sources, and blue light excites red QD and green QD to emit red light and green light respectively. However, the absorption of blue backlight by QD materials themselves is limited, which limits the luminous efficiency of quantum dots and the uniformity of light output brightness is poor.

[0074] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. And in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0075] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. "First", "second" and similar words used in the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. "Include" or "comprise" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word cover the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Connect" or "connected" and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
[0076] It should be noted that the sizes and shapes of the figures in the accompanying drawings do not reflect the actual proportions, and are only intended to illustrate the present disclosure. The same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions.
[0077] In the related art, a non-pixelated blue OLED device is used as a backlight in a QD-OLED display product, and a quantum dot layer is arranged on the light-emitting side thereof, and the red and green quantum dots are excited by blue light to emit red and green light respectively; Figure 1 As shown, the quantum dot layer is composed of a mixture of a substrate MS, quantum dots QD, and scattering particles SP. This arrangement of the quantum dot layer has low blue light absorption and brightness conversion efficiency.
[0078] The present disclosure provides a display panel. Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the display panel includes:
[0079] The base substrate 1 comprises a plurality of sub-pixel regions 101 arranged in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y; the first direction X intersects the second direction Y;
[0080] A plurality of light emitting devices 2 are located on one side of the substrate 1; the light emitting devices 2 correspond to the sub-pixel areas 101 one by one;
[0081] The first pixel definition layer 3 is located on the side of the light emitting device 2 away from the substrate 1 and includes a first opening area 301 corresponding to the sub-pixel area 101;
[0082] A plurality of quantum dot layers 4 are located on the side of the light-emitting device 2 away from the substrate 1 and are located in at least part of the first opening area 301; the quantum dot layer 4 includes: a first sublayer 4-1, and a second sublayer 4-2 located on the side of the first sublayer 4-1 away from the substrate 1; the first sublayer 4-1 includes: a first substrate 401 and first quantum dots 402; the second sublayer 4-2 includes: a second substrate 403, and second quantum dots 404; the wavelength range of light emitted from the first sublayer 4-1 does not completely overlap with the wavelength range of light emitted from the second sublayer 4-2.
[0083] It should be noted that in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the quantum dot layer is used to absorb the light emitted by the light emitting device to radiate light of a desired color. Specifically, the color of the light radiated by the quantum dot layer is the same as the color of the sub-pixel area corresponding to the quantum dot layer.
[0084] In the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the quantum dot layer includes a first sublayer and a second sublayer, and both the first sublayer and the second sublayer include quantum dots, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting device but not absorbed by the quantum dots of the first sublayer can be absorbed by the second quantum dots of the second sublayer after reaching the second sublayer to be converted into light corresponding to the color of the sub-pixel, which can improve the absorption rate of the light emitted by the light-emitting device and the brightness conversion efficiency. In addition, since the wavelength range of the light emitted by the first sublayer does not completely overlap with the wavelength range of the light emitted by the second sublayer, the spectral range of the light emitted by the sub-pixel can also be increased to improve the color purity.
[0085] It should be noted that the first quantum dots are dispersed in the first substrate, and the second quantum dots are dispersed in the second substrate.
[0086] In some embodiments, Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the multiple sub-pixel regions 101 include: multiple red sub-pixel regions R, multiple blue sub-pixel regions B and multiple green sub-pixel regions G;
[0087] The light emitting device 2 is a blue light emitting device;
[0088] The multiple quantum dot layers 4 include: a red quantum dot layer r located in the first opening area 301 corresponding to the red sub-pixel area R, and a green quantum dot layer g located in the first opening area 301 corresponding to the green sub-pixel area G.
[0089] Specifically, Figure 2 to Figure 4As shown, a red light quantum dot layer r is arranged in the first opening area 5 corresponding to the red sub-pixel area R, and the red light quantum dot layer r absorbs blue light and radiates red light; a green light quantum dot layer g is arranged in the first opening area 5 corresponding to the green sub-pixel area G, and the green light quantum dot layer g absorbs blue light and radiates green light. Since the light-emitting device is a blue light-emitting device, the blue sub-pixel area B does not need to be provided with a quantum dot layer, and the display panel can also achieve full-color display.
[0090] In a specific implementation, the first quantum dots and the second quantum dots included in the red light quantum dot layer are both red light quantum dots that absorb blue light and radiate red light, and the first quantum dots and the second quantum dots included in the green light quantum dot layer are both green light quantum dots that absorb blue light and radiate red light.
[0091] In a specific implementation, the material of the quantum dot layer includes a core-shell quantum dot structure; the core material in the core-shell quantum dot structure may be, for example, cadmium selenide (CdSe) or indium phosphide (InP), and the shell material in the core-shell quantum dot structure may be, for example, zinc sulfide (ZnS).
[0092] In a specific implementation, in each quantum dot layer, the materials of the first quantum dots and the second quantum dots may be the same or different. The wavelength range of the light emitted from the first sublayer and the wavelength range of the light emitted from the second sublayer may be adjusted by adjusting the size of the first quantum dots and the second quantum dots, such as the diameter. The main wavelength of the light emitted from the first sublayer is also different from the main wavelength of the light emitted from the second sublayer. In a specific implementation, the wavelength range of the light emitted from the first sublayer and the second sublayer may be set according to actual needs. For example, the minimum value of the wavelength range of the light emitted from the first sublayer is smaller than the minimum value of the wavelength range of the light emitted from the second sublayer, and the maximum value of the wavelength range of the light emitted from the first sublayer is smaller than the maximum value of the wavelength range of the light emitted from the second sublayer.
[0093] In some embodiments, Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the quantum dot layer further includes first scattering particles 405 , and the first sublayer 4 - 1 does not include the first scattering particles 405 , and the film layer including the first scattering particles 405 is located on the side of the first sublayer 4 - 1 away from the substrate 1 .
[0094] In the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the quantum dot layer further includes first scattering particles, thereby scattering light and improving the light output uniformity of the quantum dot layer.
[0095] It should be noted that although the quantum dot layer in the related art also includes scattering particles, the scattering particles are mixed with quantum dots to form a quantum dot layer. Some of the light radiated by the quantum dots may be directly emitted without being scattered by the scattering particles, or may not be evenly scattered by the scattering particles, which affects the uniformity of the light emitted by the quantum dot layer. This will cause the display panel to have a large percentage of brightness attenuation at a wide viewing angle, which affects the uniformity of the viewing angle brightness of the display product. The relationship curve between the viewing angle and the brightness attenuation of the light-emitting device in the related art and the relationship curve between the viewing angle and the brightness attenuation of the quantum dot layer in which scattering particles and quantum dots are mixed are shown in Figure 1. Figure 5 As shown in Table 1, the absorption rate Ab of the quantum dot layer to 460 nanometers (nm) blue light, the brightness conversion efficiency and the brightness attenuation L-decay at a viewing angle of 60° are shown. The blue light absorption rate and the brightness conversion efficiency of this setting of the quantum dot layer are not high. Although the viewing angle brightness attenuation is improved compared with the case where only the light-emitting device is set without the quantum dot layer, the brightness loss at a large viewing angle such as 60° is still large, which affects the brightness uniformity of the display panel.
[0096] Table 1
[0097]
[0098]
[0099] In the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first quantum dot layer does not include the first scattering particles, that is, the first sublayer where the first quantum dots are located is independently provided with the film layer including the first scattering particles, and the film layer including the first scattering particles is located on the side of the first sublayer away from the substrate, so that the light emitted by the first quantum dot layer can be scattered and evenly dispersed by the first scattering particles. Compared with the situation in which the quantum dots and the scattering particles are completely mixed in the related art, the light uniformity of the quantum dot layer can be improved, and the brightness attenuation at a large viewing angle can be avoided, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel at a viewing angle.
[0100] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the second sub-layer 4-2 further includes first scattering particles 405. That is, the first scattering particles and the second quantum dots are mixed in the second substrate.
[0101] In some embodiments, the first scattering particles included in the quantum dot layer may be at least one of the following: titanium oxide (TiO2), zirconium oxide (ZrO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), indium oxide (In2O3), zinc oxide (ZnO), and tin oxide (SnO2).
[0102] In the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first quantum dot layer does not include the first scattering particles, and the second sublayer includes the first scattering particles, the two are independently arranged, and the second sublayer is located on the side of the first sublayer away from the base substrate, so that the light emitted by the first quantum dot layer can be scattered and evenly dispersed by the first scattering particles of the second sublayer. Compared with the situation in which the quantum dots and scattering particles are completely mixed in the related art, the light emission uniformity of the quantum dot layer can be improved, and the excessive brightness attenuation at a large viewing angle can be avoided, thereby improving the viewing angle brightness uniformity of the display panel. In addition, the first scattering particles and the second quantum dots are mixed in the second substrate to form the second sublayer, which can achieve the improvement of the absorption rate of the light emitted by the light-emitting device and the brightness conversion efficiency, and improve the light emission uniformity, while avoiding too much increase in the production process of the quantum dot layer.
[0103] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 , the thickness h1 of the first sub-layer 4 - 1 is less than or equal to the thickness h2 of the second sub-layer 4 - 2 .
[0104] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1, the ratio of the thickness h1-r of the first sublayer 4-1 included in the red light quantum dot layer 4 to the thickness h4 of the red light quantum dot layer 4 is greater than or equal to 1 / 10 and less than or equal to 1 / 2, and the ratio of the thickness h2-r of the second sublayer 4-2 included in the red light quantum dot layer 4 to the thickness h4 of the red light quantum dot layer 4 is greater than or equal to 1 / 2 and less than or equal to 9 / 10.
[0105] In some embodiments, the thickness h4 of the red light quantum dot layer is greater than or equal to 10 micrometers and less than or equal to 15 micrometers.
[0106] In some embodiments, in the red light quantum dot layer, the mass percentage of the first quantum dots in the first sublayer is greater than or equal to the mass percentage of the second quantum dots in the second sublayer.
[0107] Furthermore, it can be set that the mass percentage of the first quantum dots in the first sublayer is greater than the mass percentage of the second quantum dots in the second sublayer. It should be noted that the mass percentages of quantum dots and first scattering particles affect the viscosity of the film layer. Since the first sublayer only includes the first substrate and the first quantum dots, the higher mass percentage of the first quantum dots can make the viscosity of the first sublayer meet the requirements and avoid the peeling and falling of the first sublayer. Since the second sublayer includes the first scattering particles in addition to the second quantum dots, reducing the mass percentage of the second quantum dots in the second sublayer compared to the first sublayer can also make the viscosity of the second sublayer meet the requirements.
[0108] In some embodiments, in the red light quantum dot layer, the mass percentage of the first quantum dots in the first sublayer is greater than or equal to 20% and less than or equal to 40%, the mass percentage of the second quantum dots in the second sublayer is greater than or equal to 5% and less than or equal to 20%, and the mass percentage of the first scattering particles in the second sublayer is greater than or equal to 2% and less than or equal to 8%.
[0109] Specifically, in the red light quantum dot layer, the spectra of the first sublayer and the second sublayer are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the first quantum dot of the first sublayer is excited and converted to red light with a main wavelength of 630 nanometers (nm), and a spectral wavelength range of 600-670nm. The second quantum dot of the second sublayer is excited and converted to red light with a main wavelength of 650nm, and a spectral wavelength range of 620-690nm. Figure 2 The display panel shown in FIG. 1 shows the absorption rate Ab of the red light quantum dot layer to 460 nanometer (nm) blue light, the brightness conversion efficiency, and the brightness decay L-decay at 60° viewing angle as shown in Table 2. Compared with the data in Table 1, the present disclosure Figure 2 The red light quantum dot layer shown in the figure has improved blue light absorption rate and brightness conversion efficiency, and the brightness attenuation at a large viewing angle, such as 60°, is reduced. In addition, the relationship curve between the viewing angle and the brightness attenuation of the red light quantum dot layer disclosed in the present invention and the relationship curve between the viewing angle and the brightness attenuation of the red light quantum dot layer in the related art are as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, it can be seen that compared with the related art, the brightness attenuation of the red light quantum dot layer disclosed in the present invention from 0 to 60° is reduced, and the brightness uniformity under viewing angle can be improved.

[0142] In some embodiments, Figure 2 to Figure 4 , Figure 14 to Figure 16 As shown, the display panel further includes: a scattering layer 8 in the first opening area 301 corresponding to the blue sub-pixel area B; the scattering layer 8 includes second scattering particles. Thus, the light emitted by the light emitting device can be scattered when reaching the scattering layer, which is beneficial to improve the uniformity of light output.
[0143] That is, the first opening area where the quantum dot layer is not provided is filled with the scattering layer. In a specific implementation, the scattering layer is a light-transmitting film layer.
[0144] It should be noted that if Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the scattering layer 8 in the first opening area 301 corresponding to the blue sub-pixel area B is a single layer, and the thickness of the scattering layer 8 is relatively thick. When manufacturing the scattering layer, scattering particles may agglomerate, affecting the distribution uniformity of the scattering particles, and further affecting the uniformity of the scattering of the light emitted by the light-emitting device by the scattering layer.

[0146] That is, in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scattering layer is formed by multiple manufacturing processes. Since each scattering sub-layer is thinner than the entire scattering layer, this can avoid the problem of the second scattering particles agglomerating and affecting their distribution uniformity due to the thick film layer, and can further improve the light uniformity, thereby improving the viewing angle brightness uniformity.
[0147] Specifically, the relationship curve between the viewing angle and the brightness attenuation of a single-layer scattering layer and the relationship curve between the viewing angle and the brightness attenuation of a scattering layer including multiple scattering sub-layers are as follows: Fig.17 As shown, it can be concluded that, compared with the implementation of a single-layer scattering layer, when the scattering layer includes multiple scattering sub-layers, the brightness attenuation at 0 to 60° is reduced, which can improve the brightness uniformity at viewing angles.
[0148] In some embodiments, Figure 14 to Figure 16 As shown, the multi-layer scattering sub-layer 801 includes: a first scattering sub-layer 801-1801 and a second scattering sub-layer 801-2801 located on a side of the first scattering sub-layer 801-1801 away from the substrate 1;

[0153] The mass percentage of the second scattering particles in the first scattering sublayer is greater than or equal to 2% and less than or equal to 6%.
[0154] In some embodiments, the second scattering particles included in the scattering may be at least one of the following: titanium oxide (TiO2), zirconium oxide (ZrO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), indium oxide (In2O3), zinc oxide (ZnO) or tin oxide (SnO2).
[0155] In a specific implementation, the first filling structure and the first pixel definition layer may both include resin materials. The first pixel definition layer includes a light-shielding resin material, and the first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate are light-transmitting resin materials. In a specific implementation, the materials of the first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate may be the same.

[0159] In some embodiments, the display panel may further include a light extraction layer between the cathode and the encapsulation layer.
[0160] In a specific implementation, the driving circuit layer includes a plurality of pixel driving circuits arranged in an array; the pixel driving circuit is used to drive the light-emitting device to emit light; Fig.18As shown, the pixel driving circuit includes a thin film transistor TFT and a storage capacitor (not shown); the thin film transistor TFT includes: an active layer 501, a gate G, a source S and a drain D; Fig.18 In the description, the thin film transistor TFT is taken as a top gate structure as an example, of course, the thin film transistor TFT can also be a bottom gate or other structure. Fig.18 As shown, the display substrate further includes: a buffer layer 9 located between the base substrate 1 and the active layer 501; the driving circuit layer 5 further includes: a first gate insulating layer 502 located between the active layer 501 and the gate G, an interlayer insulating layer 503 located between the first gate insulating layer 502 and the source S and the drain D, and a planarization layer 504 located between the light emitting device 3 and the source S and the drain D. The anode 201 is connected to the drain D through a via hole penetrating the planarization layer 504.
[0161] In a specific implementation, the light-emitting functional layer includes an organic light-emitting layer, and may also include an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, a hole transport layer, a hole injection layer, and the like.
[0162] In a specific implementation, when all the light-emitting devices are blue light-emitting devices, the organic light-emitting layers corresponding to each sub-pixel region emit blue light, but the light-emitting spectra of the organic light-emitting layers corresponding to each sub-pixel region may be the same or different.

In addition, the first scattering particles and the second quantum dots are mixed with the second substrate to form the second sublayer, which can achieve the improvement of the absorption rate of the light emitted by the light-emitting device and the brightness conversion efficiency, and improve the light uniformity, while avoiding too much increase in the production process of the quantum dot layer.

[0208] In some embodiments, after forming the cathode, the method further comprises:
[0209] A first inorganic encapsulation film, an organic encapsulation film, and a second inorganic encapsulation film are formed in sequence.
[0210] A display device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes the display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0211] The display device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is any product or component with a display function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a display, a laptop computer, a digital photo frame, a navigator, etc. Other essential components of the display device should be understood by a person skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here, nor should they be used as a limitation of the present disclosure. The implementation of the display device can refer to the embodiment of the display panel above, and the repeated parts will not be described in detail.
[0212] In summary, in the display panel and its preparation method and display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first quantum dot layer does not include the first scattering particles, and the second sublayer includes the first scattering particles, the two are independently arranged, and the second sublayer is located on the side of the first sublayer away from the base substrate, so that the light emitted by the first quantum dot layer can be scattered and evenly dispersed by the first scattering particles of the second sublayer. Compared with the situation in which the quantum dots and scattering particles are completely mixed in the related art, the light emission uniformity of the quantum dot layer can be improved, and the excessive brightness attenuation at a large viewing angle can be avoided, thereby improving the viewing angle brightness uniformity of the display panel. In addition, the first scattering particles and the second quantum dots are mixed in the second substrate to form the second sublayer, which can achieve the improvement of the absorption rate of the light emitted by the light-emitting device and the brightness conversion efficiency, and improve the light emission uniformity, while avoiding too much increase in the production process of the quantum dot layer.
