[0063] The photosensitive unit 1401 can be a photosensor, which can be used for ambient photocurrent detection. The photosensitive unit 1401 includes the stacked photosensitive doped part 1411, the photosensitive part 14011 and the photosensitive electrode 181. One end of the photosensitive part 14011 is connected to the photosensitive doped part 1411, and the other end of the photosensitive part 14011 is connected to the photosensitive electrode 181. The material of the photosensitive part 14011 includes but is not limited to amorphous silicon (a-Si). When external light is irradiated on the photosensitive part 14011, a photocurrent can be generated between the photosensitive doped part 1411 and the photosensitive electrode 181.
[0064] Specifically, the photosensitive unit 1401 may be a PIN structure; specifically, the photosensitive unit 1401 includes an N-type layer, an I-type layer located on the N-type layer, and a P-type layer located on the I-type layer.
[0065] Among them, the photosensitive doped part can be used as an N-type layer, and the material of the photosensitive doped part is N-type doped polysilicon, which provides carrier electrons and helps to form an electric field; the photosensitive part 14011 can be used as an I-type layer, and the material of the photosensitive part 14011 can be amorphous silicon, which is an intrinsic semiconductor and has good light absorption ability. Under light, the photosensitive part 14011 can absorb photons and generate electron-hole pairs; the photosensitive electrode 181 can be used as a P-type layer, and the material of the photosensitive electrode 181 can be indium tin oxide (ITO). The photosensitive electrode 181 can provide holes to help establish a built-in electric field, and light can pass through the photosensitive electrode 181 into the photosensitive part 14011, thereby realizing the photoelectric effect.
[0066] It can be understood that this embodiment integrates the photosensitive element into the display panel 1, thereby realizing the under-screen color temperature sensing and self-adjustment functions. Compared with the solution of external photosensitive elements in the related art, it has the effects of high integration and low cost, and saves structural space.
[0067] Please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first metal layer 12 includes a first light-shielding portion 121, and the first light-shielding portion 121 is arranged corresponding to the photosensitive unit 1401, and the orthographic projection of the photosensitive unit 14011 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding portion 121 on the substrate 11, thereby avoiding unnecessary light from irradiating the photosensitive unit 1401, reducing the influence of light interference on the photosensitive unit 14011, and thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the photoelectric signal.
[0068] Specifically, the first shading portion 121 is connected to a constant voltage source; it should be noted that the photosensitive unit 1401 can integrate the functions of an ambient light sensor and a color temperature sensor, and has the advantages of fast response speed, simple structure and high precision. However, in actual working process, the floating metal inside the display panel 1 may interfere with the reading of the photosensitive unit 1401, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of the sensor measurement.
[0069] It can be understood that this embodiment ensures that the potential of the first light shielding portion 121 is always in a stable state by directly connecting the first light shielding portion 121 to a constant voltage source. The constant voltage source provides a fixed voltage to ensure that the first light shielding portion 121 is not disturbed by external signals during operation and does not float, thereby effectively preventing the potential of the first light shielding portion 121 from drifting or changing (i.e. floating). Since light interference is effectively controlled, the photosensitive unit 1401 can sense the light signal more accurately and convert it into an electrical signal, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the photosensitive unit 1401.
[0070] Please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first electrode 1451 is connected to the first light shielding portion 121 , one end of the second electrode 1452 is connected to the photosensitive doping portion 1411 , and the other end of the second electrode 1452 is connected to the control unit 1402 .
[0071] Specifically, the first electrode 1451 is connected to the first light shielding portion 121 and a constant voltage (such as a COM signal) is applied to the first light shielding portion 121, so that the first light shielding portion 121 can maintain a constant voltage state, which can effectively avoid the electrical noise problem caused by the floating potential (floating) of the first light shielding portion 121, thereby reducing the interference to the photosensitive unit 1401, and helping to improve the accuracy and stability of the photoelectric signal.
[0072] At the same time, by connecting the photosensitive doped part 1411 to the second electrode 1452 and connecting the second electrode 1452 to the control unit 1402, a more precise current flow path can be achieved, thereby improving the accuracy of the photoelectric signal. The connection between the photosensitive doped part 1411 and the control unit 1402 helps to maintain a stable photocurrent output, thereby ensuring that the photosensitive unit 1401 can correctly detect and respond to changes in external light without affecting the measurement accuracy due to unnecessary potential interference.
[0073] It should be noted that the technical solution proposed in this embodiment is applicable to the application scenario where the display panel 1 integrates photoelectric sensors. In order to better illustrate the innovation of this embodiment, this embodiment uses the constant voltage as the COM signal as an example to illustrate the technical solution of this embodiment.
[0074] Please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the control unit 1402 is connected to the photosensitive unit 1401, and the control unit 1402 can control the switch state and other states of the photosensitive unit 1401; wherein, the control unit 1402 can be a thin film transistor structure, and the control unit 1402 includes a semiconductor part 1412, a gate insulating layer 142, a gate 1431, an interlayer insulating layer 144, the third electrode 1453 and the fourth electrode 1454, one end of the third electrode 1453 is connected to the first doped part 14121, the other end of the third electrode 1453 is connected to the second electrode 1452, and the fourth electrode 1454 is connected to the second doped part 14122.
[0075] It should be noted that one of the third electrode 1453 and the fourth electrode 1454 can be a source, and the other of the third electrode 1453 and the fourth electrode 1454 can be a drain, and the specific positions of the source and the drain can be selected according to design requirements, so that this embodiment has a high degree of flexibility.
[0076] Furthermore, the third electrode 1453 may be connected to the pixel electrode 182 , and the control unit 1402 may control the current and voltage changes of the pixel electrode 182 through current regulation of the source and the drain, thereby affecting the display effect.
[0077] The first metal layer 12 also includes a second shading portion 122, and the second shading portion 122 is spaced apart from the first shading portion 121. The second shading portion 122 is arranged corresponding to the control unit 1402. The orthographic projection of the semiconductor portion 1412 on the substrate 11 is located at the orthographic projection of the second shading portion 122 on the substrate 11. The second shading portion 122 is used to prevent light from irradiating the semiconductor portion 1412 to prevent affecting the device performance of the semiconductor portion 1412.
[0078] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by setting the first metal layer 12 to include a first light-shielding portion 121 and a second light-shielding portion 122, the semiconductor layer 141 includes a photosensitive doping portion 1411 and a semiconductor portion 1412 that are spaced apart, and the second metal layer 145 includes a first electrode 1451, a second electrode 1452, a third electrode 1453 and a fourth electrode 1454, thereby reducing the process difficulty of the display panel 1, saving manufacturing costs, and improving production efficiency and yield rate.
[0079] At the same time, the structural design of the display panel 1 provided in this embodiment simplifies the hierarchical relationship, and integrates the photosensitive unit 1401 and the control unit 1402 in the same thin film transistor layer 14. By directly setting the photosensitive unit 1401 in the structure of the display panel 1, the photosensitive unit 1401 can directly respond to external light without the need for additional photosensitive elements, thereby reducing the need for external photosensitive elements, which is beneficial to the integration of the equipment and saves space.
[0080] Please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2; In one embodiment, the semiconductor portion 1412 also includes a third doping portion 14124 and a fourth doping portion 14125, the third doping portion 14124 is arranged between the channel portion 14123 and the first doping portion 14121; the fourth doping portion 14125 is arranged between the channel portion 14123 and the second doping portion 14122; wherein the first doping portion 14121 and the second doping portion 14122 have the same doping concentration, the third doping portion 14124 and the fourth doping portion 14125 have the same doping concentration, and the doping concentration of the third doping portion 14124 is less than the doping concentration of the first doping portion 14121.
[0081] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, by providing the third doping portion 14124 and the fourth doping portion 14125 and making their doping concentrations lower than those of the first doping portion 14121 and the second doping portion 14122, the doping concentration gradient near the channel portion 14123 is reduced, the mobility reduction problem caused by excessively high doping concentration is alleviated, and the current transmission efficiency and response speed are improved.
[0082] Specifically, since the third doping portion 14124 is arranged between the channel portion 14123 and the first doping portion 14121, and the fourth doping portion 14125 is arranged between the channel portion 14123 and the second doping portion 14122, the third doping portion 14124 and the fourth doping portion 14125 can both serve as transition portions, which help to form a smooth current path, reduce current spikes in the switching state, improve the conduction characteristics of the control unit 1402, and avoid current mutations.
[0083] At the same time, the doping concentrations of the first doping portion 14121 and the second doping portion 14122 are the same, and the doping concentrations of the third doping portion 14124 and the fourth doping portion 14125 are the same, thereby ensuring uniform distribution of current in the channel portion 14123, avoiding the problem of unbalanced current distribution caused by uneven doping, and improving the performance consistency and stability of the semiconductor portion 1412.
[0084] Please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the buffer layer 13 is disposed between the first metal layer 12 and the semiconductor layer 141; the gate insulating layer 142 is disposed between the semiconductor layer 141 and the third metal layer 143; the interlayer insulating layer 144 is disposed on a side of the third metal layer 143 away from the gate insulating layer 142, thereby ensuring that no short circuit occurs between different conductive parts, making signal transmission more stable, and thereby improving the overall reliability and performance of the display panel 1.
[0085] The display panel 1 is provided with a first through hole 10 and a second through hole 20, the first electrode 1451 passes through the first through hole 10 to be connected to the first light shielding portion 121, and the first through hole 10 passes through the interlayer insulating layer 144, the gate insulating layer 142 and at least a portion of the buffer layer 13, one end of the second electrode 1452 passes through the second through hole 20 to be connected to the photosensitive doping portion 1411, and the second through hole 20 passes through the interlayer insulating layer 144, the gate insulating layer 142, the photosensitive doping portion 1411 and the buffer layer 13, and the other end of the second electrode 1452 is connected to the third electrode 1453.
[0086] Furthermore, the display panel 1 is also provided with a sixth through hole 60 and a seventh through hole 70, the third electrode 1453 is connected to the first doped portion 14121 through the sixth through hole 60, and the sixth through hole 60 penetrates the interlayer insulating layer 144, the gate insulating layer 142, the first doped portion 14121 and the buffer layer 13, the fourth electrode 1454 is connected to the second doped portion 14122 through the seventh through hole 70, and the seventh through hole 70 penetrates the interlayer insulating layer 144, the gate insulating layer 142, the second doped portion 14122 and the buffer layer 13.
[0087] It can be understood that, by setting the second through hole 20 to pass through the photosensitive doped part 1411, the second electrode 1452 passes through the photosensitive doped part 1411, and the photosensitive doped part 1411 is arranged around the second electrode 1452, the sixth through hole 60 passes through the first doped part 14121, the third electrode 1453 passes through the first doped part 14121, and the first doped part 14121 is arranged around the third electrode 1453, the seventh through hole 70 passes through the first doped part 14121, the fourth electrode 1454 passes through the second doped part 14122, and the second doped part 14122 is arranged around the fourth electrode 1454, thereby optimizing the isolation between the electrodes, preventing unnecessary electrical interference or short circuit between the electrodes, and improving their stability.
[0088] At the same time, it can also enhance the electrical connection stability between the electrode and the doped part, increase the contact area between the electrode and the doped part, and avoid the contact instability problem caused by local poor contact or mismatch of electrode morphology.
[0089] Please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second shading portion 122 on the substrate 11 covers the orthographic projection of the semiconductor portion 1412 on the substrate 11, and the orthographic projection of the second shading portion 122 on the substrate 11 covers the orthographic projection of the third doping portion 14124 on the substrate 11 and the orthographic projection of the fourth doping portion 14125 on the substrate 11.
[0090] Specifically, the second light-shielding portion 122 is arranged corresponding to the channel region and the lightly-doped region, and the second light-shielding portion 122 is a semi-enclosed structure, which only covers the channel portion 14123, the third doped portion 14124 and the fourth lightly-doped portion, thereby avoiding the influence of light on these regions; it can be understood that the doping concentrations of the third doped portion 14124 and the fourth lightly-doped portion are relatively low, and usually have a greater influence on current control and mobility during operation, so the design of the second light-shielding portion 122 can ensure that these regions are in a stable electrical state, thereby improving the stability and performance of the display panel 1.
[0091] At the same time, compared with the full shading design in the related art (the shading layer completely covers the semiconductor part 1412), the semi-enclosed design can simplify the manufacturing process of the second shading part 122, improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce costs, and ensure that the shading effect is not affected.
[0092] Please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the display panel 1 is further provided with a third through hole 30, in which at least part of the photosensitive portion 14011 is filled, and the third through hole 30 penetrates the interlayer insulating layer 144 and at least part of the gate insulating layer 142. Thus, the photosensitive portion 14011 is prevented from contacting with other film layers, effectively improving electrical isolation, preventing possible electrical short circuit or leakage, and improving the electrical safety and reliability of the display panel 1.
[0093] The size of the side of the photosensitive portion 14011 away from the substrate 11 is greater than the size of the side of the third through hole 30 away from the substrate 11; specifically, the side of the photosensitive portion 14011 away from the substrate 11 protrudes from the surface of the side of the interlayer insulating layer 144 away from the substrate 11, that is, the distance between the surface of the side of the photosensitive portion 14011 away from the substrate 11 and the substrate 11 is greater than the distance between the surface of the side of the interlayer insulating layer 144 away from the substrate 11 and the substrate 11, so that the photosensitive portion 14011 and the third through hole 30 are more stable when in contact,
[0094] It should be noted that the dimensions mentioned in this embodiment are the width of the photosensitive portion 14011 in the first direction X, the width of the fifth through hole 50 in the first direction X, and the first direction is Figure 2 The X direction in .
[0095] Furthermore, the first through hole 10, the second through hole 20, the third through hole 30, the sixth through hole 60 and the seventh through hole 70 can be processed at one time through a mask, making the manufacturing process simpler and being able to efficiently realize the correct connection of multiple electrodes, reducing the complexity of multiple processes; at the same time, it helps to maintain the production consistency of the display panel 1, reduce the process steps, reduce the production complexity and cost, ensure the performance and structural stability, and improve the product qualification rate.
[0096] Please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the display panel 1 further comprises a protective layer 19, the protective layer 19 being arranged on a side of the photosensitive portion 14011 away from the photosensitive doping portion 1411, the protective layer 19 being provided with a fourth through hole 40, the fourth through hole 40 penetrating the protective layer 19; the flat layer 15 being arranged on a side of the second metal layer 145 away from the interlayer insulating layer 144, the flat layer 15 being provided with a fifth through hole 50, the fifth through hole 50 penetrating at least a portion of the flat layer 15, and the fifth through hole 50 being connected to the fourth through hole 40; the first transparent electrode layer 18 being arranged on a side of the flat layer 15 away from the second metal layer 145, the first transparent electrode layer 18 comprising the photosensitive electrode 181, the photosensitive electrode 181 passing through the fourth through hole 40 and the fifth through hole 50 to connect to the photosensitive portion 14011.
[0097] The material of the protective layer 19 includes but is not limited to silicon nitride (SiNx), silicon dioxide (SiOx), silicon oxynitride (SiONx) or a combination structure of the above film layers, and the material of the flat layer 15 includes but is not limited to organic photoresist materials; it can be understood that by setting the protective layer 19, the photosensitive part 14011 can be effectively prevented from being damaged by the external environment, and at the same time, panel failure caused by pollution or electrical short circuit can be avoided. Setting the flat layer 15 not only helps to improve the overall flatness of the panel, but also can further optimize the uniformity of subsequent layers, thereby improving the quality and consistency of the display panel 1.
[0098] At the same time, by providing the fourth through hole 40 and the fifth through hole 50 and ensuring that the fifth through hole 50 is connected to the fourth through hole 40, the photosensitive portion 14011 and the photosensitive electrode 181 can be accurately docked to avoid docking errors and ensure stable electrical performance.

[0100] It should be noted that in the manufacturing process of the display panel, in order to pursue a narrower bezel design, the size of the lower bezel needs to be compressed. The display panel usually includes a display area and a non-display area. The non-display area can also be called a bezel area. The non-display area corresponding to the lower bezel can be divided into a binding area and a fan-out area arranged between the binding area and the display area. The fan-out area is used to arrange fan-out routing to lead the routing in the display area to the non-display area and connect with the chip in the non-display area so that the chip can transmit signals to the display area.
[0101] In the related art, the connection wiring between the signal lines and the electrode layers in the fan-out area of the display panel is usually complicated, resulting in a panel frame that is too wide, affecting the display effect and aesthetics, especially when the frame design is not compact enough, affecting the overall size and appearance of the display panel.
[0102] In one embodiment, the display panel 1 includes a display area 1000 and a non-display area 2000 arranged on at least one side of the display area 1000; specifically, the display panel 1 includes the display area 1000 and a binding terminal 300 located on one side of the display area 1000, the binding terminal 300 is located in the non-display area 2000, and the binding terminal 300 can be connected to an external circuit to transmit a signal input by the external circuit to the display panel 1, thereby driving the display panel to display a picture; wherein the non-display area 2000 includes a fan-out area 2100, and the fan-out area 2100 is arranged at one end of the non-display area 2000 close to the display area 1000.
[0103] The display panel 1 also includes a fan-out portion 211, which is arranged on one side of the substrate 11, and the fan-out portion 211 is located in the fan-out area 2100, and the fan-out portion 211 includes a first fan-out line 123, a second fan-out line 1432 and a third fan-out line 1455 that are stacked and insulated; wherein the first metal layer 12 includes a first fan-out line 123, the third metal layer 143 includes a second fan-out line 1432, and the second metal layer 145 includes the third fan-out line 1455, and at least two of the first fan-out line 123, the second fan-out line 1432 and the third fan-out line 1455 are overlapped.
[0104] It can be understood that this embodiment arranges the fan-out lines (the first fan-out line 123, the second fan-out line 1432 and the third fan-out line 1455) on different metal layers in an overlapping manner and optimizes the distribution of the fan-out lines in the fan-out area 2100, so that more fan-out lines can be arranged in the same space, thereby reducing the area of the non-display area 2000, which is beneficial to improving the high resolution of the display panel 1, while meeting the design requirements of a narrow frame, and providing the display panel 1 with a larger effective display area.
[0105] At the same time, by setting the first light shading portion 121, the second light shading portion 122 and the first fan-out line 123 on the same layer, setting the gate 1431 and the second fan-out line 1432 on the same layer, and setting the first electrode 1451, the second electrode 1452, the third electrode 1453, the fourth electrode 1454 and the third fan-out line 1455 on the same layer, the number of film layers of the display panel 1 can be reduced, the stacking structure can be optimized, and the manufacturing process of the display panel 1 can be simplified, which can effectively reduce production costs and reduce material consumption.
[0106] Further, the first fan-out line 123 and the second fan-out line 1432 are at least partially overlapped; and / or, the third fan-out line 1455 and the second fan-out line 1432 are at least partially overlapped; and / or, the first fan-out line 123 and the third fan-out line 1455 are at least partially overlapped.
[0107] It should be noted that the technical solution proposed in this embodiment is suitable for application scenarios with a narrow frame of the display panel 1. In order to better illustrate the innovation of this embodiment, this embodiment takes the first fan-out line 123 and the second fan-out line 1432 as at least partially overlapping, the third fan-out line 1455 and the second fan-out line 1432 as at least partially overlapping, and the first fan-out line 123 and the third fan-out line 1455 as at least partially overlapping as an example to illustrate the technical solution of this embodiment.
[0108] It can be understood that by making the first fan-out line 123 and the second fan-out line 1432 at least partially overlap, the third fan-out line 1455 and the second fan-out line 1432 at least partially overlap, and the first fan-out line 123 and the third fan-out line 1455 at least partially overlap, the space occupied by the fan-out lines can be effectively reduced, thereby making the fan-out line layout more compact, thereby improving the overall space utilization efficiency of the display panel 1.

One end of the connecting portion 1456 is connected to the first fan-out line 123, and the other end of the connecting portion 1456 is connected to the second fan-out line 1432, so that the connecting portion 1456 can serve as a transition bridge for electrical connection to ensure a stable connection between the first fan-out line 123 and the second fan-out line 1432; at the same time, the complex crossing of the fan-out lines in the fan-out area 2100 is avoided, the space occupied by the fan-out lines is reduced, and the wiring of the display panel 1 is more simple and compact.
[0111] Specifically, the display panel 1 is further provided with a tenth through hole 100 and an eleventh through hole 110, one end of the connecting portion 1456 passes through the tenth through hole 100 and is connected to the first fan-out line 123, the tenth through hole 100 passes through the interlayer insulating layer 144, the gate insulating layer 142 and at least a portion of the buffer layer 13, the other end of the connecting portion 1456 passes through the eleventh through hole 110 and is connected to the second fan-out line 1432, and the eleventh through hole 110 passes through at least a portion of the interlayer insulating layer 144.
