[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown in FIG. 1, a related stretchable display panel 100 includes a display area 101 and a non-display area 102 surrounding the display area 101. The display panel 100 includes a substrate 1, a dam 2 disposed on one side of the substrate 1, and a first encapsulation layer 41, a second encapsulation layer 42, and a third encapsulation layer 43 sequentially stacked away from the substrate 1. The display area 101 is provided with a light-emitting unit 3, and the first encapsulation layer 41 is located in the display area 101 and the non-display area 102, covering the light-emitting unit 3 and the dam 2. The second encapsulation layer 42 is mainly located in the display area 101, and the dam 2 is located in the non-display area 102 to prevent overflow of the organic material of the second encapsulation layer 42.

[0058] In addition, in the related art, an insulating layer is provided above the cathode of the light-emitting unit 3, and an auxiliary electrode is provided on the insulating layer, which is connected to the cathode via-hole to provide the cathode potential when the cathode is blocked.

[0059] The inventors have found through long-term research that the dam structure is flattened after the first encapsulation layer 41 covers the dam 2, which reduces the anti-overflow effect to some extent. Moreover, two dams 2 are usually provided in the non-display area 102 to form a double-dam design to ensure the anti-overflow effect, but this increases the frame width of the display panel.

[0060] Based on this, the present application provides a display panel solution to solve the above problems.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, a related stretchable display panel 100 includes a display area 101 and a non-display area 102 surrounding the display area 101. The display panel 100 includes a substrate 1, a dam 2 disposed on one side of the substrate 1, and a first encapsulation layer 41, a second encapsulation layer 42, and a third encapsulation layer 43 sequentially stacked away from the substrate 1. The display area 101 is provided with a light-emitting unit 3, and the first encapsulation layer 41 is located in the display area 101 and the non-display area 102, covering the light-emitting unit 3 and the dam 2. The second encapsulation layer 42 is mainly located in the display area 101, and the dam 2 is located in the non-display area 102 to prevent overflow of the organic material of the second encapsulation layer 42.

[0062] Specifically, the conductive layer 5 is stacked on the first encapsulation layer 41, and a downward projection of the barrier structure 51 in the non-display area 102 can cover part or all of the dam 2, while the auxiliary electrode 52 in the display area 101 is arranged in the same layer as the barrier structure 51, which can provide a cathode potential. The non-display area 102 can be a frame area.

[0063] The display panel 100 provided by the embodiment has the conductive layer 5 stacked on the first encapsulation layer 41, and the barrier structure 51 in the conductive layer 5 is not planarized by the first encapsulation layer 41 and is arranged above the dam 2, which can increase the barrier height, lengthen the overflow path, and increase the difficulty, so as to effectively prevent the encapsulation material above the first encapsulation layer 41 from overflowing and ensure the encapsulation quality of the display panel. In addition, under the premise of improving the anti-overflow effect by the barrier structure 51, a single dam 2 can be arranged in the non-display area 102, which can reduce the frame size of the display panel 100 and achieve a narrower frame compared with a double-dam design.

[0064] Meanwhile, the conductive layer 5 is reused as the auxiliary electrode 52 in the display area 101, which can utilize the existing auxiliary electrode process related technology without increasing the process, so as to improve the anti-overflow function while avoiding the problems of cost increase and production cycle extension caused by process increase, and improve the production efficiency and product manufacturability.

[0065] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, Figure 4 Figure 5 In one embodiment, the conductive layer 5 further includes at least one auxiliary electrode 52, and the auxiliary electrode 52 is located in the display area 101. The display panel 100 includes a plurality of light emitting units 3 located in the display area 101, and the light emitting unit 3 is arranged on one side of the substrate 1. The light emitting unit 3 includes a second electrode 31, a light emitting functional layer 32, and a first electrode 33 stacked in a direction away from the substrate 1, and the at least one auxiliary electrode 52 is electrically connected to the first electrode 33 of the plurality of light emitting units 3.

[0066] Preferably, the first encapsulation layer 41 is further arranged on the side of the plurality of light emitting units 3 away from the substrate 1, so as to protect the light emitting units 3 in the display area 101.

[0067] Preferably, the materials of the auxiliary electrodes 52 and the barrier structures 51 are the same. In the preparation process, the barrier structure 51 and the auxiliary electrode 52 are made in the same layer, that is, the conductive layer 5 is reused as the auxiliary electrode 52 in the display area 101, which can utilize the existing auxiliary electrode process related technology without increasing the process, so as to improve the anti-overflow function while avoiding the problems of cost increase and production cycle extension caused by process increase, and improve the production efficiency and product manufacturability.

[0068] ​Preferably, the side of the dam 2 away from the substrate 1 is farther from the substrate 1 than the side of the light-emitting unit 3 away from the substrate 1. In the vertical direction of the substrate 1, the height of the dam 2 is higher than the height of the light-emitting unit 3, which can play a role in preventing overflow.

[0069] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 4, in an embodiment, a plurality of through holes 410 are formed in the first encapsulation layer 41, and the auxiliary electrode 52 is electrically connected to the first electrode 33 of the light-emitting unit 3 through the plurality of through holes 410.

[0070] In an embodiment, one auxiliary electrode 52 is used, which encloses a plurality of first openings 520. The auxiliary electrode 52 can be in a mesh structure, and the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit 3 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the corresponding first opening 520 on the substrate 1. The first opening 520 as a mesh hole of the mesh structure has an opening size greater than the light-emitting unit 3, so as to avoid affecting the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting unit 3. The mesh structure of the auxiliary electrode 52 can reduce the resistance of electrode access and wiring, improve the potential uniformity, and avoid the problem of uneven potential distribution in the entire display area caused by large resistance.

[0071] In another embodiment, a plurality of auxiliary electrodes 52 can also be used. The auxiliary electrode 52 corresponds to the through hole 410 one by one, and the plurality of auxiliary electrodes 52 are electrically connected to the first electrode 33 of the corresponding light-emitting unit 3 through the corresponding through hole 410.

[0072] Exemplarily, the light-emitting units 3 of different colors include a light-emitting unit R, a light-emitting unit B, and a light-emitting unit G. The first electrode 33 is a cathode, and the second electrode 31 is an anode.

[0073] Referring to Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 5, in an embodiment, one dam 2 is used, which at least partially surrounds the display area 101. The single dam 2 in the non-display area 102 can reduce the frame size of the display panel 100, and achieve a narrower frame compared with the double dam design. Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 6, in another embodiment, at least one dam 2 includes a first dam 21 and a second dam 22, and the first dam 21 and the second dam 22 at least partially surround the display area 101. The second dam 22 is located on the side of the first dam 21 away from the display area 101. Correspondingly, the blocking structure 51 includes a first blocking part 511 and a second blocking part 512. The orthographic projection of the first blocking part 511 on the substrate 1 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the first dam 21 on the substrate 1. The orthographic projection of the second blocking part 512 on the substrate 1 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the second dam 22 on the substrate 1.

[0074] The double dam structure is adopted, and the first blocking part 511 and the second blocking part 512 are correspondingly arranged above the first dam 21 and the second dam 22 respectively, forming double protection, and the overflow of the organic material used for packaging can be better prevented during the packaging process.

[0075] Optionally, in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1, the size of the second dam 22 is greater than the size of the first dam 21. That is, the height of the second dam 22 is greater than the height of the first dam 21.

[0076] Optionally, the distance between the side of the second blocking part 512 away from the substrate 1 and the substrate 1 is greater than the distance between the side of the first blocking part 511 away from the substrate 1 and the substrate 1. That is, the height of the second blocking part 512 is greater than the height of the first blocking part 511. The higher second dam 22 and the second blocking part 512 arranged outside the first dam 21 can further enhance the anti-overflow effect and provide more reliable protection for the packaging of the display panel.

[0077] In some embodiments, the conductive layer 5 can be made of a metal material, for example, one of molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), and silver (Ag). Non-metallic conductive materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), graphene, and carbon nanotubes can also be used. Of course, the conductive layer 5 can adopt a composite laminated structure of at least two different materials.

[0078] The conductive layer 5 has good conductivity to realize the auxiliary electrode function, and the material can be flexibly selected according to different application scenarios. For example, transparent conductive materials such as indium tin oxide and indium zinc oxide can be selected in scenarios with requirements for transparency, while metal materials or composite laminates can be selected when high conductivity and stability are pursued.

[0079] In some embodiments, in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1, the size of the conductive layer 5 includes 50-1000nm. For example, the thickness of the conductive layer 5 can be 50nm, 100nm, 500nm, 800nm, 1000nm, etc.

[0080] In addition, optionally, in the direction parallel to the substrate 1, the width of the blocking structure 51 can be less than the width of the corresponding dam 2, or can be greater than the width of the corresponding dam 2. That is, the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 51 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the dam 2 on the substrate 1. Alternatively, the orthographic projection of the dam 2 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 51 on the substrate 1.

[0081] Specifically, during the design and manufacturing process of the display panel, the size of the conductive layer 5 can be precisely adjusted according to the specific product requirements and process conditions. When space is limited, a smaller conductive layer 5 can be selected to accommodate design requirements such as narrow bezels, without affecting its overflow prevention and auxiliary electrode functions. For products with higher requirements for electrical performance or overflow prevention, a larger conductive layer 5 with an appropriate thickness can be used to ensure a stable cathode potential distribution and better overflow prevention.

[0082] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the first encapsulation layer 41 includes an insulating material. The orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the dam 2 on the substrate 1 are respectively located within the orthographic projection of the first encapsulation layer 41 on the substrate 1.

[0083] The first encapsulation layer 41 is an encapsulation layer formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. It covers the light-emitting unit 3 located in the display area 101 and the dam 2 located in the non-display area 102, and plays a certain planarization role.

[0084] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes a second encapsulation layer 42, which is disposed on the side of the first encapsulation layer 41 away from the substrate 1, and the second encapsulation layer 42 is at least partially located in the display area 101. The orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 52 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the second encapsulation layer 42 on the substrate 1. The second encapsulation layer 42 comprises an organic material.

[0085] Optionally, the dam 2 is disposed on the side of the second encapsulation layer 42 away from the display area 101. The orthographic projection of the blocking structure 51 on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second encapsulation layer 42 on the substrate 1. In this way, the dam 2 and the blocking structure 51 together block the outer side of the second encapsulation layer 42, that is, the side closer to the non-display area 102, and can prevent the organic material of the second encapsulation layer 42 from overflowing outward.

[0086] Specifically, the second encapsulation layer 42 is mainly located in the display area 101 and covers the auxiliary electrode 52. The second encapsulation layer 42 is formed by inkjet printing (IJP), which has good flowability and formability, and can accurately cover a specific area of ​​the display panel 100 for encapsulation and protection, preventing external moisture, oxygen and other harmful factors from corroding the internal display structure.

[0087] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the display panel 100 further comprises a third encapsulation layer 43, which is disposed on the side of the second encapsulation layer 42 away from the substrate 1, and the third encapsulation layer 43 is located in the display area 101 and the non-display area 102.

[0088] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the conductive layer 5 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the third encapsulation layer 43 on the substrate 1. That is, the third encapsulation layer 43 covers parts of the conductive layer 5.

[0089] Optionally, the third encapsulation layer 43 comprises an insulating material. Among them, the first encapsulation layer 41 and the third encapsulation layer 43 are inorganic layers, which have high compactness to isolate water and oxygen, and the second encapsulation layer 42 is an organic layer, which has a larger thickness to flatten the surface of the display panel, realizing inorganic-organic-inorganic three-layer encapsulation.

[0090] Based on the same inventive concept, another embodiment of the present application further discloses a display device comprising the display panel in the above embodiments. Further, the display device comprises a mobile phone, a VR device, a computer, a television, a vehicle-mounted display device, etc.

[0091] The display device provided by the embodiment can prevent the overflow of the encapsulation material above the first encapsulation layer 41, and guarantee the encapsulation quality of the display panel, by stacking the barrier structure 51 on the first encapsulation layer 41 to avoid the barrier structure 51 being flattened by the first encapsulation layer 41, thereby increasing the barrier height, lengthening the overflow path, and increasing the difficulty. In addition, under the premise of improving the anti-overflow effect by the barrier structure 51, a single dam 2 can be arranged in the non-display area 102, which can reduce the frame size of the display panel 100 and realize a narrower frame compared with the double dam design.

[0092] Although the present application has been described in conjunction with the specific embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description.
