[0031] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "include..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0033] The display device in this application can be applied to electronic devices such as mobile phones, PADs, and computers. At present, in order to improve the battery life of the display device, fast charging technology has been popularized, but due to the limitations of battery capacity and display device power consumption, fast charging technology cannot significantly improve the battery life of the display device, and multiple charges are still required to meet the use needs. In addition, the prior art also uses integrated thin-film solar cells to generate electricity using light energy for use in display devices. However, since solar cells need to be used in an outdoor environment on a sunny day to achieve the maximum power generation effect, in an environment with low brightness, it will greatly affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell. Therefore, the use scenarios of solar cells are often limited.

[0034] In order to solve the above problems, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, which includes a display substrate 10 and a touch layer 20 that are stacked.

The first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34 are arranged between the first conductive connection portion 31 and the second conductive connection portion 32 and are spaced apart from each other. The temperature dependence of the first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34 is different.

[0039] Optionally, the display panel may include a display area AA and a non-display area NA.

[0040] As an example, when the display panel is an LCD display panel, the first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34 are arranged in the non-display area NA to reduce the possibility of interference between the first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34 and the liquid crystal layer, and the second conductive connection portion 32 can be arranged in the non-display area NA to reduce the interference of the second conductive connection portion 32 on the display area AA. Of course, a part of the second conductive connection portion 32 can also be arranged in the display area AA to conduct the heat in the display area AA to the non-display area NA. Optionally, the LCD display panel can also include a backlight module, and the first conductive connection portion 31 can also be connected to the light source in the backlight module so that the heat emitted by the light source is conducted to the first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34 through the first conductive connection portion 31.

[0041] As an example, when the display panel is an OLED display panel, the first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34 can be both arranged in the non-display area NA, or only the first thermoelectric element 33 can be arranged in the non-display area NA, and the second thermoelectric element 34 can be arranged in the display area AA, or only the second thermoelectric element 34 can be arranged in the non-display area NA, and the first thermoelectric element 33 can be arranged in the display area AA, or the first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34 can be arranged in the display area AA. Similarly, the first conductive connection part 31 and the second conductive connection part 32 can both be at least partially arranged in the non-display area NA, or only at least a portion of the first conductive connection part 31 can be arranged in the non-display area NA, and at least a portion of the second conductive connection part 32 can be arranged in the display area AA, or only at least a portion of the second conductive connection part 32 can be arranged in the non-display area NA, and at least a portion of the first conductive connection part 31 can be arranged in the display area AA, or both the first conductive connection part 31 and the second conductive connection part 32 can be at least partially arranged in the display area AA. The following only takes the display panel as an OLED display panel as an example for discussion.

[0045] As an example, when the touch conductive layer L is multi-layer, the touch electrode 21, the touch wiring 22 and the second conductive connection part 32 are all located in different touch conductive layers L; the touch wiring 22 and the second conductive connection part 32 can also be located in the same touch conductive layer L, and the touch electrode 21 and the touch wiring 22 are located in different touch conductive layers L; the touch electrode 21 and the second conductive connection part 32 can also be located in the same touch conductive layer L, and the touch electrode 21 and the touch wiring 22 are located in different touch conductive layers L.

[0046] In some embodiments, the number of thermoelectric conversion circuits C is multiple, and each thermoelectric conversion circuit C includes a first conductive connection portion 31, a second conductive connection portion 32, a first thermoelectric element 33, and a second thermoelectric element 34. Of course, the embodiment of the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the number of each component in each thermoelectric conversion circuit C. For example, in each thermoelectric conversion circuit C, the number of first conductive connection portions 31 can also include multiple. In each thermoelectric conversion circuit C, the number of second conductive connection portions 32 can also include multiple. In each thermoelectric conversion circuit C, the number of first thermoelectric elements 33 can also include multiple. In each thermoelectric conversion circuit C, the number of second thermoelectric elements 34 can also include multiple.

[0047] Optionally, the projection of the first conductive part along the thickness direction Z of the display panel at least partially overlaps with the projection of the second conductive part along the thickness direction Z. Exemplarily, the projection of the first conductive connection part 31 along the thickness direction Z overlaps with the projection of the second conductive connection part 32 along the thickness direction Z; or, the projection of the first conductive connection part 31 along the thickness direction Z is located within the projection of the second conductive connection part 32 along the thickness direction Z; or, the projection of the second conductive connection part 32 along the thickness direction Z is located within the projection of the first conductive connection part 31 along the thickness direction Z; or, a portion of the projection of the first conductive connection part 31 along the thickness direction Z overlaps with a portion of the projection of the second conductive connection part 32 along the thickness direction Z.

[0048] Optionally, the projection of the first conductive part along the thickness direction Z of the display panel at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first thermoelectric element 33 along the thickness direction Z. Exemplarily, the projection of the first thermoelectric element 33 along the thickness direction Z is located within the projection of the first conductive connecting part 31 along the thickness direction Z; or, a portion of the projection of the first thermoelectric element 33 along the thickness direction Z overlaps with a portion of the projection of the first conductive connecting part 31 along the thickness direction Z.

[0049] Optionally, the projection of the first conductive part along the thickness direction Z of the display panel overlaps at least partially with the projection of the second thermoelectric element 34 along the thickness direction Z. Exemplarily, the projection of the second thermoelectric element 34 along the thickness direction Z is located within the projection of the first conductive connecting part 31 along the thickness direction Z; or, a portion of the projection of the second thermoelectric element 34 along the thickness direction Z overlaps with a portion of the projection of the first conductive connecting part 31 along the thickness direction Z.

[0050] Optionally, the projection of the second conductive part along the thickness direction Z of the display panel at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first thermoelectric element 33 along the thickness direction Z. Exemplarily, the projection of the first thermoelectric element 33 along the thickness direction Z is located within the projection of the second conductive connecting part 32 along the thickness direction Z; or, a portion of the projection of the first thermoelectric element 33 along the thickness direction Z overlaps with a portion of the projection of the second conductive connecting part 32 along the thickness direction Z.

[0051] Optionally, the projection of the second conductive part along the thickness direction Z of the display panel at least partially overlaps with the projection of the second thermoelectric element 34 along the thickness direction Z. Exemplarily, the projection of the second thermoelectric element 34 along the thickness direction Z is located within the projection of the second conductive connecting part 32 along the thickness direction Z; or, a portion of the projection of the second thermoelectric element 34 along the thickness direction Z overlaps with a portion of the projection of the second conductive connecting part 32 along the thickness direction Z.

[0052] Optionally, the size of the first thermoelectric element 33 along the thickness direction Z and the size of the second thermoelectric element 34 along the thickness direction Z may be the same, or may be different.

[0053] Optionally, the thickness of the first conductive connection portion 31 and the thickness of the second conductive connection portion 32 may be the same, or may be different.

[0054] Optionally, the first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34 may be insulated by an insulating film layer.

[0055] At least one of the multiple functional conductive layers is reused as the first conductive connection portion 31 , which can be understood as that the conductive circuit in one or more functional conductive layers and the first conductive connection portion 31 are located in the same film layer.

[0056] The touch conductive layer L is reused as the second conductive connection portion 32 , which can be understood as the conductive circuit in the touch conductive layer L and the second conductive connection portion 32 being located in the same film layer.

[0057] Temperature dependence is a property that describes how a physical quantity changes with temperature. Temperature dependence usually refers to how certain physical quantities (such as resistance, capacitance, inductance, thermal conductivity, magnetic permeability, etc.) change with temperature. For example, how the thermoelectric potential (or temperature difference electromotive force) of a semiconductor changes with temperature gradient.

[0058] One end of the first thermoelectric element 33 and one end of the second thermoelectric element 34 are both electrically connected to the first conductive connection part 31, and the other end of the first thermoelectric element 33 and the other end of the second thermoelectric element 34 are both electrically connected to the second conductive connection part 32, so that the first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34 and the first conductive connection part 31 and the second conductive connection part 32 constitute a thermoelectric conversion circuit C. The thermoelectric conversion circuit C can convert heat in the display panel into electrical energy through the Seebeck effect principle. Specifically, the heat on the side of the display panel close to the first conductive connection part 31 is greater than the heat on the side of the display panel close to the second conductive connection part 32, so that the temperature of the end of the first thermoelectric element 33 close to the first conductive connection part 31 (hereinafter referred to as the first hot end 331) is greater than the temperature of the end of the first thermoelectric element 33 close to the second conductive connection part 32 (hereinafter referred to as the first cold end 332), thereby forming a temperature gradient at both ends of the first thermoelectric element 33 along the thickness direction Z; the temperature of the end of the second thermoelectric element 34 close to the first conductive connection part 31 (hereinafter referred to as the second hot end 341) is greater than the temperature of the end of the second thermoelectric element 34 close to the second conductive connection part 32 (hereinafter referred to as the second cold end 342), thereby forming a temperature gradient at both ends of the second thermoelectric element 34 along the thickness direction Z. In the Seebeck effect, the carriers (such as electrons or holes) at the hot end will diffuse to the cold end, so that a thermoelectric potential will be generated in the thermoelectric conversion circuit C, thereby generating a current in the thermoelectric conversion circuit C. As the temperature rises, the energy of the hot end carriers increases, the diffusion effect is enhanced, and the generated thermoelectric potential also increases.

[0059] According to the display panel provided by the present application, a thermoelectric conversion circuit C is added in the display panel, and the thermoelectric conversion circuit C can convert the excess heat energy generated in the display panel into electrical energy for use by the display panel. In addition, the thermoelectric conversion element 30 includes a first conductive connection portion 31, a second conductive connection portion 32, a first thermoelectric element 33 and a second thermoelectric element 34. The thermoelectric conversion circuit C can convert the excess heat energy generated in the display panel into electrical energy for use by the display panel, which can not only help the display panel to dissipate heat, but also improve the battery life of the display panel, thereby solving the technical problem of poor battery life of the display panel in the prior art.

The array substrate 11 includes a drive circuit layer 112. The display function layer 12 is located on one side of the array substrate 11, and the display function layer 12 includes an electrode layer. The touch layer 20 is located on the side of the display function layer 12 that is away from the array substrate 11. Among them, one of the drive circuit layer 112 and the electrode layer is reused as the first conductive connection portion 31.

Taking the data circuit and the first conductive connection part 31 as the same film layer as an example, the data circuit and the first conductive connection part 31 may be arranged at intervals; or, a part of the data circuit may be reused as the first conductive connection part 31.

[0065] Optionally, the electrode layer may include an anode and a cathode, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, when the electrode layer is reused as the first conductive connection part 31, the anode and the first conductive connection part 31 are the same film layer; or, the cathode and the first conductive connection part 31 are the same film layer. Exemplarily, the anode and the first conductive connection part 31 can be arranged at intervals; or, a part of the anodes in the anodes is reused as the first conductive connection part 31. Exemplarily, the cathode and the first conductive connection part 31 can be arranged at intervals; or, a part of the cathodes in the cathodes is reused as the first conductive connection part 31.

[0066] In these optional embodiments, the above configuration is helpful to improve the flexibility of the arrangement of the first conductive portion, so that the thermoelectric conversion circuit C can absorb the heat of a preset area of ​​the display panel in a targeted manner, thereby improving the thermoelectric conversion efficiency and further improving the battery life of the display panel.

[0067] Figure 7A schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of another display panel provided in some embodiments of the present application.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the display function layer 12 further includes a display layer 123, the electrode layer includes a first electrode layer 121 and a second electrode layer 122, the first electrode layer 121 includes a first electrode 121a, the second electrode layer 122 includes a second electrode 122a, and the display layer 123 is located between the first electrode layer 121 and the second electrode layer 122. Among them, at least one of the first electrode 121a and the second electrode 122a is reused as the first conductive connection portion 31.

[0069] Optionally, the first electrode 121a may be located between the second electrode 122a and the array substrate 11, and the number of the first electrode 121a may be multiple. The second electrode 122a may be a whole-surface electrode, and the whole-surface electrode covers the display area AA of the display panel. Of course, the number of the second electrode 122a may be multiple. Optionally, one of the first electrode 121a and the second electrode 122a is an anode, and the other is a cathode. For example, the first electrode 121a is an anode, and the second electrode 122a is a cathode.

[0070] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the first electrode 121a is reused as the first conductive connection portion 31. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the second electrode 122a is reused as the first conductive connection portion 31. In some other embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first electrode 121a and the second electrode 122a are both multiplexed as the first conductive connection portion 31. For example, the first electrode 121a is multiplexed as the first conductive connection portion 31 of one of the two thermoelectric conversion circuits C, and the second electrode 122a is multiplexed as the first conductive connection portion 31 of the other of the two thermoelectric conversion circuits C. Alternatively, the first conductive connection portion 31 includes two parts, the first electrode 121a is multiplexed as a part of the first conductive connection portion 31, and the second electrode 122a is multiplexed as the other part of the first conductive connection portion 31.

[0071] In these optional embodiments, during the display process of the display panel, the first electrode 121a and the second electrode 122a need to provide voltage all the time, so that the first electrode 121a and the second electrode 122a generate heat during the operation process. By reusing the first electrode 121a and / or the second electrode 122a as the first conductive connection part 31, the heat generated in the first electrode 121a and / or the second electrode 122a is the heat generated by the hot end, thereby increasing the thermoelectric potential, thereby increasing the conversion efficiency of the thermoelectric conversion circuit C, and further increasing the endurance of the display panel.

Optionally, in a touch row, two adjacent first touch function electrodes are electrically connected via the jumper electrode 212.

[0117] Optionally, the first touch function electrode and the second touch function electrode are both arranged on the first touch conductive layer L1.

The longer thermoelectric element has a higher thermoelectric potential output, but will increase the internal resistance and heat loss; the shorter thermoelectric element has a lower internal resistance and heat loss, but will reduce the thermoelectric potential output. By adjusting the length ratio of the first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34, it is beneficial to increase the thermoelectric potential output while reducing the internal resistance and heat loss, thereby improving the thermoelectric conversion efficiency.

At the same time, the design of the length ratio of the first thermoelectric element 33 and the second thermoelectric element 34 is simplified, and the matching and connection difficulties between thermoelectric elements of different sizes are reduced, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. Of course, when the first end 311 and the second end 312 are arranged in different layers, the size of the first thermoelectric element 33 along the thickness direction Z and the size of the second thermoelectric element 34 along the thickness direction Z can also be different.

[0134] In these optional embodiments, by selecting thermoelectric elements with different conductivity types, it is helpful to improve the complementarity of thermoelectric conversion, thereby improving the thermoelectric conversion efficiency and further improving the endurance of the display panel.

By providing multiple thermoelectric conversion circuits C in series and / or in parallel, it is beneficial to reduce the overall total resistance while improving the overall total thermoelectric potential, improving the thermoelectric conversion efficiency, and thus improving the endurance of the display panel.
