[0042] The present application provides a display panel.
[0043] In combination Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of the present application, the display panel comprises a substrate 10, a light emitting module 20 and a plurality of adjusting modules 30; the light emitting module 20 is arranged on the surface of the substrate 10, and the light emitting module 20 comprises a plurality of pixel units 21, each of which is arranged in an array along the direction parallel to the substrate 10; each adjusting module 30 is arranged between two adjacent pixel units 21, and the adjusting module 30 comprises a first film layer 31 and a second film layer 32 arranged in a first direction, the first film layer 31 is a semi-transparent and semi-reflective film, and the second film layer 32 is a full-reflective film; external light is sequentially irradiated on the surface of the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32, and the light reflected by the second film layer 32 interferes with the light reflected by the first film layer 31.
[0044] The display panel can be an LCD, LED or OLED display panel, wherein the OLED display panel has relatively low brightness, and the technical solution proposed in the present application can improve the low brightness of the OLED in the strong light environment more obviously.
[0045] In the embodiment, the substrate 10 comprises a substrate 11 and a driving circuit 12, which can be a silicon-based substrate 10, a glass substrate 10 or a plastic substrate 10, etc. Each layer in the light emitting module 20 is deposited on the substrate 10 in turn, and visible light is generated under the driving of the driving circuit 12. Each pixel unit 21 in the light emitting module 20 can be controlled to emit light individually to present different color images on the display panel. Each pixel unit 21 is separated and arranged by a pixel isolation layer 50 to avoid the problem of light mixing between adjacent pixel units 21 and improve the contrast of the display panel. The first direction is Figure 1 X direction in the middle.
[0046] The adjusting module 30 is configured to improve the problems of screen surface whitening, greying and low brightness by using the principle of light interference. Specifically, the first film layer 31 in the adjusting module 30 is a semi-transparent and semi-reflective film, for example, thin layer of titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide or zinc oxide. The second film layer 32 is a full-reflective film, which is made of silver or aluminum, or has a silver or aluminum coating on the surface. When the external strong light is incident on the display panel, the light is incident on the first film layer 31. Since the first film layer 31 is a semi-transparent and semi-reflective film, the light wave is transmitted and reflected on the first film layer 31. The light wave transmitted from the first film layer 31 is totally reflected by the second film layer 32 and then transmitted to the outside of the display panel from the first film layer 31.
[0047] Therefore, the distance between the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32 can be controlled to make the light wave reflected by the first film layer 31 interfere with the light wave reflected by the second film layer 32. Some wavelengths of light interfere constructively, and the rest of the wavelengths interfere destructively. Through constructive interference, the human eye receives a specific wavelength of color, including red, green and blue, to improve the penetration and reduce the power consumption of the display panel. Through destructive interference, black color is generated to improve the contrast ratio and color gamut of the display panel. Thus, the problem of dim display of the existing display panel under strong light is solved, the user experience is improved, and the application scenarios of the OLED display panel are increased.
[0048] Further, the first film layer 31 is formed by stacking multiple thin films, and each thin film is made of different material and thus has different refractive index. When the light wave is incident on the multiple film structure, multiple reflection and transmission occur. Therefore, the light waves between different layers interfere with each other. According to the phase difference of the light waves, some wavelengths of light interfere constructively, and the rest of the wavelengths interfere destructively.
[0049] Further, the adjusting module 30 is arranged between any two adjacent pixel units 21 of the display panel to avoid the reflection of the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32 affecting the light emission of the pixel units 21. Of course, an adjusting module 30 can also be arranged between each two adjacent pixel units 21. By arranging the adjusting module between the pixel units 21, when the light waves reflected by the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32 interfere destructively, the surface of the first film layer 31 displays black state, which can further prevent color mixing between the two adjacent pixel units 21 to improve the contrast ratio and color gamut of the display panel. By adjusting the distance between the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32, the specific wavelengths of light can be made to interfere constructively to improve the brightness of the display panel.
[0050] In combination Figures 2 to 5As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, the adjusting module 30 further comprises two electrode layers 34, one electrode layer 34 is located on the side of the first film layer 31 away from the substrate 10, and the other electrode layer 34 is located on the side of the second film layer 32 facing the substrate 10.
[0051] At least part of the material of at least one of the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32 is a deformable metal material, and the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32 are close to or away from each other under the action of the electric field of the two electrode layers 34, so as to adjust the distance between the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32.
[0052] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of adjusting the distance between the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32, in the embodiment, two electrode layers 34 are arranged on both sides of the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32, wherein the electrode layer 34 is made of a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) material, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or doped zinc oxide, which has good visible light transmittance and electrical conductivity. These materials have high transparency in the visible light spectrum and can effectively conduct current, so that light can smoothly enter the first film layer 31 from the electrode layer 34, and an electric field is formed between the two electrode layers 34.
[0053] By connecting the two electrode layers 34 to the positive and negative electrodes of the driving circuit 12 respectively, a voltage is applied between the two electrode layers 34, and the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32 can be designed to have a part of the position as a deformable metal material, or one of them can be designed to have a part of the position as a deformable metal material. Therefore, under the action of the electric field force, the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32 will move towards the direction of approaching or moving away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32, and realizing dynamic color and brightness control.
[0054] By controlling the voltage applied to the two electrode layers 34, the distance between the film layers can be accurately adjusted, and dynamic control of the color and brightness of the display panel can be realized. This electric field regulation mechanism enables the display panel to maintain high brightness, high contrast and color accuracy under different environmental light conditions.
[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, the material of the second film layer 32 near the two ends of the two pixel units 21 is a deformable metal material, and the material of the remaining part is a non-deformable metal material.
[0056] In the embodiment, the two ends of the second film layer 32 are made of a deformable metal material, such as an alloy with shape memory function, so that the second film layer 32 deforms at the micron or nanometer level under the action of the electric field, thereby finely adjusting the distance between the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32, and realizing smoother color transition and higher display resolution.
[0057] The rest of the second film layer 32 is made of a non-deformable or less deformable metal material, such as aluminum or silver, so that the middle part of the second film layer 32 remains flat after the deformation of the second film layer 32 towards the first film layer 31, thereby facilitating the accurate control of the propagation path of the light wave without changing the size and shape of the light beam, and further improving the control accuracy of the light wave interference.
[0058] In combination Figure 1 As shown in an embodiment of the present application, each pixel unit 21 includes a light-emitting layer 211, a thin film layer 212, and a filter layer 214 arranged in sequence along a first direction.
[0059] A light-blocking layer 40 is arranged between the filter layers 214 of any two adjacent pixel units 21, and each adjustment module 30 is arranged in the light-blocking layer 40 and exposed on the side of the light-blocking layer 40 away from the thin film layer 212.
[0060] In the embodiment, each pixel unit 21 is composed of multiple layers, in which the light-emitting layer 211 is composed of an anode layer, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED layer), and a cathode layer, and is responsible for generating light. The thin film layer 212 is made of a high-transparency material, such as silicon oxide, and is used for protecting the light-emitting layer 211, isolating water and oxygen, and providing necessary physical strength. The filter layer 214 is made of a color filter, and is used for selectively filtering and transmitting light of a specific color to achieve full-color display. Meanwhile, a touch layer 213 is arranged between the thin film layer 212 and the filter layer 214 to meet the needs of touch operation of some display panels. Of course, the present application is described by taking an OLED display panel as an example, and the composition of the pixel unit 21 can be adjusted accordingly when the display panel is an LED or an LCD.
[0061] A light-blocking layer 40 is arranged between each pixel unit 21 to prevent light crosstalk and improve the contrast of the display panel. The adjustment module 30 is arranged in the light-blocking layer 40 to avoid affecting the display of the pixel unit 21 and improve the effect of preventing light crosstalk, thereby improving the contrast of the display panel.
[0062] The light-blocking layer 40 can be made of a material that absorbs light, such as carbon black-doped polymer, i.e., the black matrix (BM) in the OLED display panel. It can prevent light leakage and cross interference between pixels, and also absorb excess ambient light entering from the outside of the display panel. In other embodiments, the adjustment module 30 can be arranged on the pixel isolation layer 50 to improve the contrast, or arranged above the light-blocking layer 40, i.e., in the optically clear adhesive (OCA) layer.
[0063] In combinationFigures 1 to 5 As shown in the embodiment of the present application, the light shielding layer 40 is provided with an interference groove, and the adjusting module 30 is embedded in the interference groove, and the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32 are connected with the opposite two sidewalls of the interference groove.
[0064] In the embodiment, the interference groove is designed to embed the adjusting module 30 in the light shielding layer 40, so as to provide a space for the adjusting module 30, and meanwhile, the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32 are enclosed with the groove wall of the interference groove to form the optical microcavity 33. The integrated design helps to improve the integration and structural stability of the display panel. The light propagates in the optical microcavity 33, and the optical microcavity 33 can reduce the influence of other light on the interference light. Meanwhile, the optical microcavity 33 also has the effect of limiting the propagation path of the light in the cavity and reducing the scattering of the light, so as to improve the control of the light propagation path and improve the interference effect.
[0065] In combination with Figures 3 to 5 As shown in the embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional size of the interference groove gradually increases along the direction away from the substrate 10.
[0066] In the embodiment, the interference groove is designed to gradually increase the cross-sectional size from one end close to the substrate 10 to the other end away from the substrate 10, forming a wedge-like structure. This design helps to reduce the reflection loss of the light in the groove, and at the same time, increases the angle range of the light incident to the optical microcavity 33, so that the light of different wavelengths from different angles incident to the interference groove can all effectively interfere in the optical microcavity 33, thereby improving the color saturation and contrast of the display panel.
[0067] As Figure 3 As shown, the shape of the interference groove is trapezoidal, the light is incident into the adjusting module 30 from the opening of the interference groove, part of the light wave is reflected out of the display panel after passing through the electrode layer 34 and the first film layer 31, and part of the light wave passes through the electrode layer 34, the first film layer 31, the optical microcavity 33 and the second film layer 32 in turn, and is reflected to pass through the first film layer 31, the electrode layer 34, and finally out of the display panel. The light wave reflected by the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32 undergoes constructive interference or destructive interference. As Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the interference groove can also be designed in a circular arc shape or a triangular shape, which can also achieve the effect of expanding the angle range of the external light, thereby further improving the brightness and contrast of the display panel.
[0068] The present application also provides a manufacturing method of a display panel, wherein the specific structure of the display panel refers to the above-mentioned embodiments. Since the manufacturing method adopts all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned display panel embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
[0069] As shown in Figure 6 The manufacturing method comprises the steps of:
[0070] S10: depositing a light-emitting module 20 comprising a plurality of pixel units 21 on the surface of the substrate 10;
[0071] S20: sequentially depositing a first film layer 31 and a second film layer 32 arranged in intervals between each two pixel units 21 to form an adjustment module 30.
[0072] In this embodiment, taking an OLED display panel as an example, the light-emitting module 20 comprises a light-emitting layer 211, a pixel isolation layer 50, a thin film layer 212, a touch layer 213 and a filter layer 214 sequentially deposited on the surface of the substrate 10. The deposition process can adopt physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology to ensure the uniformity and adhesion of the film layer.
[0073] On the filter layer 214, and between each two pixel units 21, a slot is formed, and a light-blocking layer 40 is deposited to prevent light mixing between the pixel units 21. Then, an interference groove is etched on the surface of the light-blocking layer 40, and the second film layer 32 and the first film layer 31 are sequentially deposited in the interference groove to form the adjustment module 30. Finally, a transparent adhesive is coated on the surface of the filter layer 214 to form a transparent adhesive layer 60, and a glass cover plate 70 is attached to the transparent adhesive layer 60 to complete the packaging of the display panel.
[0074] As shown in Figure 7 In an embodiment of the present application, the step of sequentially depositing a first film layer 31 and a second film layer 32 arranged in intervals between each two pixel units 21 to form an adjustment module 30 comprises:
[0075] S21: etching an interference groove on the light-blocking layer 40 between two adjacent pixel units 21;
[0076] S22: sequentially depositing an electrode layer 34, a first sacrificial layer, a second film layer 32, a second sacrificial layer, a first film layer 31 and another electrode layer 34 in the interference groove;
[0077] S23: etching the first sacrificial layer and the second sacrificial layer by wet etching, and forming an optical microcavity 33 between the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32.
[0078] In this embodiment, the interference groove can be formed on the light-blocking layer 40 by a dry etching process. The dry etching forms the interference groove by ion bombardment, which can improve the size accuracy of the interference groove compared with the wet etching process by etching solvent.
[0079] After the formation of the interference groove, the electrode layer 34, the sacrificial layer, the second film layer 32, another sacrificial layer and the first film layer 31 are sequentially deposited at the bottom of the groove. The deposition process includes physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD). The selection of the sacrificial layer needs to consider that the etching solvent can dissolve the sacrificial layer and leave the electrode layer 34, the first film layer 31 and the second film layer 32, for example, photoresist, polymer or other organic solvent-soluble materials. The sacrificial layer is removed by wet etching to form the optical microcavity 33 and form a gap between the second film layer 32 and the other electrode layer 34 to meet the requirement that the second film layer 32 can move towards the first film layer 31 under the action of the electric field.
[0080] The application further provides a display device, which comprises a display panel. The display panel has the specific structure as described in the above embodiments. Since the display device adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
[0081] The display device can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a television or other display equipment. The display device further comprises necessary driving circuit 12, control unit and interface to realize connection and data transmission with external equipment. By integrating the display panel provided in the application, the display device can provide high contrast, high color accuracy, high brightness, low power consumption and other effects in strong light environment.
