Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of display technology, and particularly relates to a display panel and a display device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), the market requirements for OLED displays are constantly increasing. Among them, narrow-border display products have a higher screen-to-body ratio and can provide users with better visual effects.

[0003] OLED display panels can bend part of the peripheral structure to the back to reduce the size of the frame; at the same time, the smaller the bending radius (Bending R), the narrower the frame. However, the design of a small bending radius (Bending R) will have a greater impact on process fluctuations such as coating glue in the bending area (used to protect the signal routing in the bending area), resulting in uneven stress distribution in the bending area, making it very easy for the signal routing to crack, and ultimately leading to adverse effects such as bright lines.

[0070] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present disclosure generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0073] In the related art, the border of OLED display panels is getting narrower and narrower, and the bending radius (Bending R) is also getting smaller and smaller, which easily causes uneven stress distribution in the bending area CC. Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown in the figure, there are two types of signal routing 01 designs, one is a chain-like routing and the other is a straight routing. However, in the area with the smallest bending radius, which is determined according to the actual product, it may be the bending center area or the bending starting area, both of which will cause bending cracks in the signal routing. Figure 2 shown.

[0074] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display panel. Figure 3 A schematic plan view of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the display panel has a display area AA, a peripheral area BB surrounding the display area AA, a binding area DD located on a side of the peripheral area BB away from the display area AA, and a bending area CC bent and connected between the peripheral area BB and the binding area DD; the peripheral area BB includes a first transition area BB1 close to the bending area CC. The display panel includes a substrate 1, a signal trace 4 ( Figure 3 Not shown, please refer to the following examples 1 to 13 for details) and the stress dispersion structure 5 ( Figure 3Not shown in the figure, please refer to the drawings of the following examples 1 to 13 for details); wherein, the two ends of the signal line 4 extend from the bending zone CC to the first transition zone BB1 ​​and the binding zone DD respectively. Exemplarily, one end of the signal line 4 extends to the first transition zone BB1 ​​and is electrically connected to the signal line extending from the display area AA to the first transition zone BB1, and the signal line is, for example, a touch electrode or a data line; the other end of the signal line 4 extends to the binding zone DD and is electrically connected to the driver chip located in the binding zone DD. The display panel is bent in the bending zone CC, so that the structure on the binding zone DD (such as the driver chip) is bent to the backlight side of the display panel to achieve a narrow frame. The stress dispersion structure 5 is at least partially located in the bending zone CC, and is used to disperse the bending stress when the signal line 4 is bent.

[0075] The embodiment of the present disclosure essentially adds a stress dispersion structure 5 in the bending zone CC to disperse the bending stress of the signal line 4 in the bending zone CC when it is bent, thereby eliminating the bending crack defect caused by the defects of the related art.

[0076] Before describing the stress dispersion structure 5 in detail, it is necessary to determine the position of the signal trace 4 of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of stacking various film layers in the display area provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the display panel includes a first conductive layer SD1, a first insulating layer PLN1, a second conductive layer SD2, a second insulating layer PLN2 and a third conductive layer SD3 arranged in sequence in a direction away from the base substrate 1; the display panel includes a light-emitting device 2 and a pixel driving circuit 3 for driving the light-emitting device 2; the source and drain of the transistor in the pixel driving circuit 3 are arranged in at least one of the first conductive layer SD1, the second conductive layer SD2 and the third conductive layer SD3. For example, the source and drain of the transistor in the pixel driving circuit 3 are arranged in the same layer, and are arranged in a three-layer wiring layout, which are respectively arranged in the first conductive layer SD1, the second conductive layer SD2 and the third conductive layer SD3. At the same time, the signal wiring 4 is located in the second conductive layer SD2, and can be electrically connected to the source or drain of the transistor in the pixel driving circuit 3.

[0077] Exemplarily, the light emitting device 2 is an OLED device. The pixel driving circuit 3 is a relatively complex circuit structure, such as 7T1C (7 transistors and 1 capacitor, such as Figure 4 The source and drain of multiple transistors, as well as the electrical connection structure of the source or drain of multiple transistors, can be realized through the first conductive layer SD1, the second conductive layer SD2 and the third conductive layer SD3, for example, the electrode cross-layer connection is realized by a via hole penetrating the first insulating layer PLN1 and / or the second insulating layer PLN2.

[0078] In order to solve the crack defect of the CC signal line 4 in the bending area, the stress dispersion structure 5 is described in detail below with a specific example.

[0079] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the stress dispersion structure 5 on the substrate 1 is located between the orthographic projections of adjacent signal traces 4 on the substrate 1 , so as to disperse the bending stress of the signal traces 4 located in the bending region CC by means of the stress dispersion structure 5 .

[0080] Optionally, Figure 5a and Figure 5b They are the planar schematic diagrams of different types of signal routing and the stress dispersion structure in Example 1, as shown in Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown, the orthographic projection of the stress dispersion structure 5 on the substrate 1 is spaced apart from the orthographic projection of the adjacent signal trace 4 on the substrate 1. In this example, the stress dispersion structure 5 is disposed between the adjacent signal traces 4 and is spaced apart. By utilizing the narrower stress dispersion structure 5, the bending stress of the signal trace 4 located in the bending zone CC is dispersed without increasing the bending stress of the stress dispersion structure 5 itself.

[0081] Optionally, Figure 6a and Figure 6b They are the planar schematic diagrams of different types of signal routing and the stress dispersion structure in Example 2, as shown in Figure 6a and Figure 6b As shown, the orthographic projection of the stress dispersion structure 5 on the substrate 1 contacts the orthographic projection of the adjacent signal trace 4 on the substrate 1 .

[0082] Alternatively, if Figure 6a and Figure 6b As shown, the stress dispersion structure 5 includes a plurality of via holes V0 penetrating along the thickness direction thereof, and the via holes V0 are used to further disperse the bending stress of the stress dispersion structure 5 .

[0083] Optionally, for Example 1 and Example 2, Figure 7a This is a cross-sectional diagram of an example of a signal routing and stress dispersion structure. Figure 7a As shown, the stress dispersion structure 5 and the signal trace 4 are layered, for example, the stress dispersion structure 5 is located in the third conductive layer SD3.

[0084] Optionally, for Example 1 and / or Example 2, Figure 7b FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional diagram of another example of a signal routing and a stress dispersion structure. Figure 7b As shown, the stress dispersion structure 5 is located in the first conductive layer SD1.

[0085] Optionally, for Example 1 and / or Example 2, the stress dispersion structure 5 and the signal trace 4 are disposed in the same layer, that is, both are located in the second conductive layer SD2.

[0086] In some embodiments, the stress dispersion structure 5 includes a first substructure 51 located in the first conductive layer SD1; the orthographic projection of the first substructure 51 on the substrate substrate 1 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the signal line 4 on the substrate substrate 1. In this embodiment, the stress dispersion structure 5 is arranged on the signal line 4 and forms a double-layer composite film layer (SD1+SD2 double-layer composite film layer) with the signal line 4, thereby improving the bending stress of the overall bending structure of the bending zone CC.

[0087] Figure 8a and Figure 8b They are respectively the planar schematic diagrams of different types of signal routing and the stress dispersion structure under Example 3. It should be noted that, for the sake of easy understanding, the film layer of the stress dispersion structure 5 in this schematic diagram is made transparent to see through the signal routing 4 below, but this does not mean that the actual structure of the film layer is a transparent film layer; in addition, in order to show the film layer structure more clearly, the film layer is staggered, and the actual film layer stacking structure shall be subject to the actual contents of the specification. Figure 8a and Figure 8b As shown, two ends of the first substructure 51 extend from the bending area CC to the first transition area BB1 and the binding area DD respectively, and the orthographic projection of the first substructure 51 on the substrate 1 completely overlaps with the orthographic projection of the signal trace 4 on the substrate 1 .

[0088] The display panel includes a plurality of signal lines 4, and the plurality of signal lines 4 are arranged side by side along a first direction X. The stress dispersion structure 5 includes a plurality of first substructures 51 arranged side by side along the first direction X. The extension direction of the first substructure 51 is the same as the extension direction of the signal line 4, which is the second direction Y. The first direction X intersects the second direction Y. For example, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0089] Optionally, Figure 8c Schematic diagram of the cross section of the signal line and the stress dispersion structure in Example 3. Figure 8c As shown, the two ends of the first substructure 51 are electrically connected to the two ends of the signal line 4 through two first connection vias V1 penetrating the first insulating layer PLN1. In this example, the first substructure 51 is connected end to end with the signal line 4, and the two are connected in parallel, which can improve the problem of the signal line 4 being broken and open due to abnormal particles. Because, if the signal line 4 is open, the signal path can be maintained with the help of the first substructure 51 connected end to end with it.

[0090] Optionally, the first substructure 51 and the signal wiring 4 are spaced apart from each other, that is, a first insulating layer PLN1 is disposed between the two.

[0091] In some embodiments, the stress dispersion structure 5 is a second substructure 52 located on the third conductive layer SD3; the orthographic projection of the second substructure 52 on the substrate substrate 1 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the signal line 4 on the substrate substrate 1. In this embodiment, the stress dispersion structure 5 is arranged under the signal line 4 and forms a double-layer composite film layer (SD2+SD3 double-layer composite film layer) with the signal line 4, thereby improving the bending stress of the overall bending structure of the bending zone CC.

[0092] Figure 9a and Figure 9b They are respectively the plan schematic diagrams of different types of signal traces and the stress dispersion structure in Example 4. It should be noted that, for the sake of easy understanding, the film layer of the stress dispersion structure 5 in this schematic diagram is made transparent to see through the signal trace 4 below, but this does not mean that the actual structure of the film layer is a transparent film layer. Figure 9a and Figure 9b As shown, the two ends of the second substructure 52 extend from the bending area CC to the first transition area BB1 and the binding area DD respectively, and the orthographic projection of the second substructure 52 on the substrate 1 completely overlaps with the orthographic projection of the signal line 4 on the substrate 1. The extension direction of the second substructure 52 is the same as the extension direction of the signal line 4, both of which are the second direction Y.

[0093] Optionally, Fig.9c Schematic diagram of the cross section of the signal routing and the stress dispersion structure in Example 4. Fig.9c As shown, the two ends of the second substructure 52 are electrically connected to the two ends of the signal line 4 through two second connection vias V2 penetrating the second insulating layer PLN2. In this example, the second substructure 52 is connected end to end with the signal line 4, and the two are connected in parallel, which can improve the problem of the signal line 4 being broken and open due to abnormal particles. Because, if the signal line 4 is open, the signal path can be maintained with the help of the second substructure 52 connected end to end with it.

[0094] Optionally, the second substructure 52 and the signal wiring 4 are spaced apart from each other, that is, a second insulating layer PLN2 is disposed between the two.

[0095] In some embodiments, the stress dispersion structure 5 includes a first substructure 51 located in the first conductive layer SD1 and a second substructure 52 located in the third conductive layer SD3; the orthographic projections of the first substructure 51, the second substructure 52 and the signal trace 4 on the substrate 1 at least partially overlap.

[0096] Fig.10a and Fig.10bThe schematic diagrams are respectively plan views of different types of signal routing and stress dispersion structure in Example 5. It should be noted that, for the sake of easy understanding, the film layer of the stress dispersion structure 5 in this schematic diagram is made transparent to see through the signal routing 4 below, but this does not mean that the actual structure of the film layer is a transparent film layer. The difference between Example 6 and Example 4 is that a second substructure 52 is added. The difference between Example 6 and Example 5 is that a first substructure 51 is added. Fig.10a and Fig.10b As shown, the orthographic projections of the first substructure 51 and the second substructure 52 on the substrate 1 are completely overlapped, and the completely overlapped orthographic projections cover the orthographic projection of the signal trace 4 on the substrate 1 .

[0097] Optionally, Fig.10c Schematic diagram of the cross section of the signal line and the stress dispersion structure in Example 5. Fig.10c As shown, the two ends of the first substructure 51 are electrically connected to the two ends of the signal line 4 through two first connection vias V1 penetrating the first insulating layer PLN1; the two ends of the second substructure 52 are electrically connected to the two ends of the signal line 4 through two second connection vias V2 penetrating the second insulating layer PLN2. In this example, the first substructure 51 is connected end to end to the signal line 4, and the second substructure 52 is connected end to end to the signal line 4. The three are connected in parallel in pairs, which can improve the problem of the signal line 4 being broken and open due to abnormal particles. Because, if the signal line 4 is open, the signal path can be maintained with the help of the first substructure 51 and / or the second substructure 52 connected end to end to it.

[0098] Optionally, the first substructure 51 is spaced apart from the signal wiring 4 , that is, a first insulating layer PLN1 is disposed between the two; the second substructure 52 is spaced apart from the signal wiring 4 , that is, a second insulating layer PLN2 is disposed between the two.

[0099] In some embodiments, Fig.11 Schematic diagram of the cross section of the signal line and the stress dispersion structure in Example 6. Fig.11 As shown, the stress dispersion structure 5 includes a third substructure 53 located in the first conductive layer SD1; the signal trace 4 includes a first trace 41 located in the bending area CC, a second trace 42 located in the first transition area BB1, and a third trace 43 located in the binding area DD; the orthographic projection of the third substructure 53 on the substrate substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first trace 41 on the substrate substrate 1; the first insulating layer PLN1 includes a first slot 61 located in the bending area CC; the first slot 61 penetrates the first insulating layer PLN1 along the thickness direction of the first insulating layer PLN1; wherein the first trace 41 and the third substructure 53 are in contact through the first slot 61.
