[0043] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, different features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other.

[0044] The specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a display panel provided in this embodiment is illustrated. In this embodiment, the display panel includes a driving backplane 100 and at least one light-emitting device 200. The light-emitting device 200 may be a Micro LED or Mini LED chip. In this embodiment, the size of the light-emitting device 200 is not specifically limited.

[0046] The driving backplane 100 may include multiple film layer structures, such as a substrate, a buffer layer, an active layer, multiple metal layers, multiple insulating layers, and a planarization layer. The multiple film layer structures may form multiple thin film transistors (TFTs) at different positions of the driving backplane 100, and the thin film transistors may cooperate with each other to form multiple driving units, and the driving units are used to drive the light emitting device 200 to emit light. At least one or a pair of bonding electrodes may be provided on one side of the driving backplane 100, and the bonding electrodes are used to be electrically connected to the light emitting device 200.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 The driving backplane 100 includes a bonding surface, on which bonding electrodes for bonding the light emitting device 200 may be provided, and the driving unit in the driving backplane 100 may transfer electric energy to the light emitting device 200 through the bonding electrodes. Optionally, in this embodiment, the display panel may further include an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) provided on the bonding surface, and the light emitting device 200 may be electrically connected to the bonding electrodes on the bonding surface through the anisotropic conductive film.

[0048] The light emitting device 200 includes a first surface facing the driving backplane 100, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a side surface between the first surface and the second surface. When the light emitting device 200 emits light, the second surface and at least part of the side surface can emit light.

[0049] In this embodiment, at least part of the side surface of the light emitting device 200 is covered with a reflective layer 310 , and the reflective layer 310 includes a metal layer 311 and a first protective layer 312 stacked in sequence from close to the side surface to away from the side surface.

[0050] The reflective layer 310 is used to reflect the light emitted from the side of the light emitting device 200, so that the light emitted from the side of the light emitting device 200 is as inclined as possible to be emitted from a direction perpendicular to the second surface after reflection. In this way, it is possible to avoid excessive dispersion of the light emitted by the light emitting device 200 and improve the light extraction efficiency of the display panel at a specific viewing angle.

[0051] Specifically, in the reflective layer 310, the metal layer 311 with good reflective effect mainly realizes the reflective function, which can improve and enhance the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device 200 at a specific viewing angle. In addition, the first protective layer 312 is arranged on the side of the metal layer 311 away from the side surface to protect the metal layer 311, which can be used to prevent moisture and oxygen from entering the metal layer 311, reduce the possibility of oxidation and corrosion of the metal layer 311, and ensure the reflective effect of the metal layer 311.

[0052] Based on the above design, in the display panel provided in this embodiment, by sequentially arranging the metal layer 311 and the first protective layer 312 as the reflective layer 310 on the side of the light-emitting device 200, the reflective layer 310 reflects the light emitted from the side of the light-emitting device 200, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting device 200 can be prevented from being too dispersed, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display panel at a specific viewing angle. In addition, the metal layer 311 is easier to prepare, which can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the reflective layer 310, improve manufacturing efficiency, and save manufacturing costs.

[0053] Optionally, in this embodiment, the number of the light emitting device 200 may be one or more. Figure 1 When the number of the light-emitting devices 200 is multiple, the multiple light-emitting devices 200 are distributed in an array on the bonding surface. The multiple light-emitting devices 200 include light-emitting devices 200 of multiple colors, and the number of the light-emitting devices 200 of each color is several to ensure that the displayed image will not be color-shifted. The light-emitting devices 200 of multiple colors may include red light-emitting devices 200, green light-emitting devices 200, and blue light-emitting devices 200, that is, the multiple light-emitting devices 200 may include at least one red light-emitting device 200, at least one green light-emitting device 200, and at least one blue light-emitting device 200. Among them, the red light-emitting device 200 refers to a light-emitting device 200 that can emit red light, the green light-emitting device 200 refers to a light-emitting device 200 that can emit green light, and the blue light-emitting device 200 refers to a light-emitting device 200 that can emit blue light.

[0054] In a possible implementation manner, the material of the metal layer 311 may include silver (Ag).

[0055] Specifically, metallic silver has good electronic conductivity and light reflection performance. In this embodiment, the main function of the silver film is to prevent the light emitted by the light emitting device 200 from being too dispersed, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display panel at a specific viewing angle. It can reflect light so that the light emitted from the side of the light emitting device 200 is reflected as much as possible to be emitted from a direction perpendicular to the second surface.

[0056] On this basis, the material of the first protective layer 312 includes metal oxide. The metal oxide and the silver metal layer 311 can be better attached to each other to avoid separation between the film layers, and the metal oxide has good oxidation resistance and can protect the silver metal layer 311 from oxidation. In addition, the metal oxide can be more conveniently patterned and etched, which can effectively reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the reflective layer 310 and improve the manufacturing efficiency. Preferably, the material of the first protective layer 312 includes indium tin oxide (ITO).

[0057] Specifically, the indium tin oxide film plays a protective role in this embodiment. It can prevent moisture and oxygen from entering the metal layer 311, thereby reducing the possibility of oxidation of the metal silver and affecting the reflectivity. In addition, the indium tin oxide film can also provide certain mechanical protection to reduce the impact of physical collision on the metal layer 311.

[0058] In one possible implementation, see Figure 3 The reflective layer 310 further includes a light-transmissive second protective layer 313 , and the second protective layer 313 is located on a side of the metal layer 311 close to the side surface.

[0059] In this embodiment, the second protective layer 313 is used to isolate the metal layer 311 from the light-emitting device 200. The metal layer 311 is located between the first protective layer 312 and the second protective layer 313. The second protective layer 313 is directly in contact with the side of the light-emitting device 200. The second protective layer 313 is light-transmissive. In this way, it can be ensured that the light emitted by the light-emitting device 200 can pass through the second protective layer 313 and then be reflected by the metal layer 311.

[0060] On this basis, the material of the second protective layer 313 includes metal oxide. The metal oxide and the silver metal layer 311 can be better adhered to each other to prevent the film layers from being separated from each other. At the same time, the metal oxide and the side of the light-emitting device 200 also have strong adhesion to prevent the second protective layer 313 from being separated from the light-emitting device. Preferably, the material of the second protective layer 313 includes indium tin oxide.

[0061] Specifically, the reflective layer 310 can be a sandwich structure of indium tin oxide-silver-indium tin oxide (ITO-Ag-ITO), wherein the indium tin oxide layer close to the side of the light-emitting device 200 is the second protective layer 313, the indium tin oxide layer away from the side of the light-emitting device 200 is the first protective layer 312, and the silver layer located between the two indium tin oxide layers is the metal layer 311.

[0062] Among them, the silver in the metal layer 311 has a high reflectivity, which can better reflect the light from the side of the light-emitting device 200, thereby preventing the light emitted by the light-emitting device 200 from being too dispersed, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display panel at a specific viewing angle.

[0063] The indium tin oxide film is a transparent conductive oxide film with excellent transparency. In the indium tin oxide-silver-indium tin oxide structure, the indium tin oxide (ITO) film as the second protective layer 313 has good light transmittance, which can enable the light emitted by the light-emitting device 200 to be transmitted to the silver film through the indium tin oxide film in contact with the side, thereby completing the reflection. The indium tin oxide (ITO) film as the first protective layer 312 can prevent moisture and oxygen from entering the metal layer 311, thereby reducing the possibility of Ag in the metal layer 311 being oxidized and affecting the reflectivity, and can also dissipate heat well, reduce the temperature rise and thermal stress of the light-emitting device 200, and improve the reliability of the light-emitting device 200. In addition, indium tin oxide can also have a strong adhesion with the side of the light-emitting device 200 and the side of the light-emitting device 200, which can prevent the second protective layer 313 from detaching from the light-emitting device.

[0064] In one possible implementation, please refer again to Figure 3 , the thickness L1 of the metal layer 311 may be greater than the thickness L2 of the first protective layer 312 and the thickness L3 of the second protective layer 313 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the thickness L2 of the first protective layer 312 and the thickness L3 of the second protective layer 313 may be equal, the thickness L2 of the first protective layer 312 and the thickness L3 of the second protective layer 313 may be 50 nm, and the thickness L1 of the metal layer 311 may be 100 nm.

[0066] Since Ag has high light transmittance, especially low absorption rate in the visible light range, if the thickness of the Ag film is too thin, the reflective ability of the Ag film will be weakened, thereby increasing the light loss. Therefore, in this embodiment, the thickness of the Ag film can be increased to ensure that the Ag film has a high reflectivity, avoid excessive dispersion of the light emitted by the light emitting device 200, and thus improve the light extraction efficiency of the display panel at a specific viewing angle.

[0067] In one possible implementation, see Figure 4 The display panel may further include a light shielding layer 400 located on the bonding surface of the driving backplane 100 , wherein the light shielding layer 400 exposes the second surface and at least a portion of the side surface of the light emitting device 200 .

[0068] The light shielding layer 400 is located on the side of the bonding surface away from the driving backplane 100. The light shielding layer 400 can be made of a material that is opaque or has poor light transmittance. For example, the light shielding layer 400 can be formed by printing black ink. In the thickness direction of the display panel, the height of the light shielding layer 400 is lower than the height of the light emitting device 200. In this way, the light shielding layer 400 can be prevented from affecting the setting of the reflective layer 310.

[0069] In this embodiment, after the bonding of the light emitting device 200 is completed, the light shielding layer 400 is provided first, and then the reflective layer 310 is formed.

[0070] In one possible implementation, see Figure 5 The light emitting device 200 may include four side surfaces, and the four side surfaces are opposite to each other. The reflective layer 310 covers two side surfaces that are opposite to each other.

[0071] For example, please refer again to Figure 5 , the orthographic projection of the light emitting device 200 on the bonding surface is a rectangle. The reflective layer 310 can be disposed on the two opposite side surfaces of the light emitting device 200 in the first direction D1. In this way, the reflective layer 310 can reflect the light emitted from the two opposite side surfaces of the light emitting device 200 in the first direction D1, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device 200 at a specific viewing angle by sacrificing the light extraction angle in the first direction D1.

[0072] Taking the display panel provided in this embodiment as an example, which is used for a TV or monitor that is usually placed vertically, the first direction D1 can be a vertical direction, and the second direction D2 can be a horizontal direction. Usually, when watching a TV or monitor and other devices, a large visual viewing angle is not required in the vertical direction (i.e., the first direction D1), but a larger visual viewing angle may be required in the horizontal direction (i.e., the second direction D2). Therefore, the reflective layer 310 can be set on the two opposite side surfaces in the vertical direction, so as to improve the light output efficiency of the light-emitting device 200 at a specific viewing angle by sacrificing the light output angle in the vertical direction.

[0073] In another possible implementation, see Figure 6 The reflective layer 310 covers each of the side surfaces of the light emitting device 200. In this way, light from the side surfaces of the light emitting device 200 in various directions can be reflected, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device 200 at a specific viewing angle.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the light-emitting device 200 may be a multi-color light-emitting device 200, which may include a first color light-emitting device 200, a second color light-emitting device 200, and a third color light-emitting device 200, wherein the first color light-emitting device 200, the second color light-emitting device 200, and the third color light-emitting device 200 may be a red light-emitting device 200, a green light-emitting device 200, and a blue light-emitting device 200, respectively.

[0075] The reflective layer 310 on the light emitting device 200 can completely cover the side of the light emitting device 200, that is, the reflective layer 310 on the red light emitting device 200 completely covers the side of the red light emitting device 200, the reflective layer 310 on the green light emitting device 200 completely covers the side of the green light emitting device 200, and the reflective layer 310 on the blue light emitting device 200 completely covers the side of the blue light emitting device 200. In this case, for each of the light emitting devices 200, the reflective layer 310 on the light emitting device 200 can reflect the light emitted by the light emitting device 200 back, so that the light of the light emitting device 200 can be concentrated on the second surface to avoid excessive dispersion of the light emitted by the light emitting device 200, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device 200 at a specific viewing angle.

[0076] The present application also provides a method for manufacturing a display panel. Figure 7 , the method may include the following steps.

[0077] Step S100, providing a driving backplane 100, wherein the driving backplane 100 includes a bonding surface.

[0078] Step S200 , disposing at least one light emitting device 200 on the bonding surface of the driving backplane 100 .

[0079] Optionally, in this embodiment, a plurality of the light emitting devices 200 may be disposed on the bonding surface of the driving backplane 100 by mass transfer, and then the light emitting devices 200 may be electrically connected to the driving backplane 100 by pressure bonding.

[0080] The light emitting device 200 includes a first surface facing the driving backplane 100 , a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a side surface between the first surface and the second surface.

[0081] Step S300 , sequentially forming a metal layer 311 and a first protective layer 312 covering the driving backplane 100 and the light emitting device 200 as a packaging layer 300 .

[0082] In this embodiment, after step S200, please refer to Figure 8 A metal layer 311 covering the driving backplane 100 and the light-emitting device 200 can be formed on the driving backplane 100 and the light-emitting device 200 by deposition, and after the metal layer 311 is formed, a first protective layer 312 can be formed on the metal layer 311 by deposition, and the first protective layer 312 is used to protect the metal layer 311 and prevent the metal layer 311 from corrosion.

[0083] In the thickness direction of the display panel, the thickness of the encapsulation layer 300 is smaller than the height of the light emitting device 200 .

[0084] Step S400 , performing patterned etching on the encapsulation layer 300 , retaining at least a portion of the reflective layer 310 disposed on the side surface, and removing the encapsulation layer 300 at other locations.

[0085] In this embodiment, when the encapsulation layer 300 is subjected to patterned etching, part of the reflective layer 310 arranged on the side surface of the light-emitting device 200 can be retained. For example, when the light-emitting device 200 may include four side surfaces, and the four side surfaces are opposite to each other, the reflective layer 310 on two oppositely arranged side surfaces can be retained; the reflective layer 310 arranged on the side surface of the light-emitting device 200 can also be completely retained. In this way, it is possible to avoid excessive dispersion of light emitted by the light-emitting device 200.

[0086] After step S400 , the method may further include removing the photoresist on the reflective layer 310 .

[0087] In one possible implementation, see Fig. 9 When a metal layer 311 and a first protective layer 312 covering the driving backplane 100 and the light-emitting device 200 are formed in sequence as the encapsulation layer 300, a second protective layer 313, a metal layer 311 and a first protective layer 312 covering the driving backplane 100 and the light-emitting device 200 can be formed in sequence as the encapsulation layer 300.

[0088] In this embodiment, in step S300, a second protective layer 313, a metal layer 311 and a first protective layer 312 may be sequentially formed on the driving backplane 100 and the light-emitting device 200 by deposition as the encapsulation layer 300, and the encapsulation layer 300 completely covers the driving backplane 100 and the light-emitting device 200. The first protective layer 312 is used to prevent corrosion and oxidation of the metal layer 311, and the second protective layer 313 is used to isolate the metal layer 311 from the light-emitting device 200. The metal layer 311 is located between the first protective layer 312 and the second protective layer 313, and the second protective layer 313 is directly in contact with the side of the light-emitting device 200. The second protective layer 313 has light transmittance, so that it can be ensured that the light emitted by the light-emitting device 200 can be reflected by the metal layer 311.

[0089] This embodiment also provides an electronic device, which may include the display panel provided in this embodiment or the display panel manufactured by the method. The electronic device may include a display, a spliced ​​display screen, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a television, or other device with a display function.

[0090] In summary, the present embodiment provides a display panel, a method for manufacturing a display panel, and an electronic device.
