[0030] In order to better understand this application, Figures 1 to 6 The display panel and the display device according to the embodiments of the present application are described in detail.

[0031] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 The present application provides a display panel, including a display area AA and a non-display area NA adjacent to the display area AA, the display panel including: a substrate 1; a first conductive layer, provided on one side of the substrate and located in the non-display area; a second conductive layer, at least partially provided on a side of the first conductive layer away from the substrate, the second conductive layer including a first groove; an auxiliary connection layer, provided on a side of the second conductive layer away from the substrate and in the first groove, the auxiliary connection layer and the first conductive layer exposed by the first groove and the side of the second conductive layer corresponding to the first groove are in contact.

[0032] The display panel provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate 1, a first conductive layer 2, a second conductive layer 3 and an auxiliary connection layer 4, the second conductive layer 3 includes a first groove K1, and the fourth part 42 of the auxiliary connection layer 4 can be directly arranged on the first groove K1 to contact the part of the first conductive layer 2 exposed by the first groove K1, and contact the side of the second conductive layer 3 corresponding to the first groove K1, so as to increase the contact area between the auxiliary connection layer 4 and the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 3, improve the reliability of the combination of the first conductive layer 2, the second conductive layer 3 and the auxiliary connection layer 4, reduce the possibility of peeling of the auxiliary connection layer 4, and improve the performance of the display panel.

[0033] In this embodiment, the auxiliary connection layer 4 can be electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 5, touch layer and other functional layers located in the display area AA to provide electrical signals to the light-emitting structure 5, touch layer and other functional layers, and the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 3 can be used to electrically connect to components that provide signals such as circuit boards and chips.

[0034] See also Figure 3 In some optional embodiments, the first conductive layer 2 includes a second groove K2, and the second conductive layer 3 includes a first part 31 and a second part 32 connected to each other. The first part 31 is arranged on the side of the first conductive layer 2 facing away from the substrate 1, and the second part 32 is sunken in the second groove K2. In a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 1 is located, the first groove K1 and the second groove K2 do not overlap.

[0035] It should be noted that due to the existence of the second groove K2 and the first groove K1, the auxiliary connection layer 4 will be sunken in the parts corresponding to the second groove K2 and the first groove K1, respectively, so as to increase the contact area between the second conductive layer 3 and the auxiliary connection layer 4 at the second groove K2, and increase the contact area between the first conductive layer 2 and the auxiliary connection layer 4 at the first groove K1, thereby improving the stability of the auxiliary connection layer 4 and avoiding the problem of film peeling between the auxiliary connection layer 4 and the film layer located thereunder.

[0036] In a direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 1 , the first slot K1 and the second slot K2 do not overlap, that is, the second slot K2 and the first slot K1 are staggered to avoid mutual interference, and the existing space can be reused without occupying additional space, thereby improving the performance of the display panel.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second slot K2 and the first slot K1 are respectively formed in the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 3 to avoid the problem of insufficient structural strength caused by forming slots on a single film layer.

[0038] Optionally, the auxiliary connection layer 4 includes a third part 41 and a fourth part 42 connected to each other, the third part 41 is arranged on the surface of the second conductive layer 3 facing away from the substrate 1, part of the third part 41 is recessed corresponding to the second part 32, and the fourth part 42 is located in the first groove K1.

[0039] Part of the third portion 41 of the auxiliary connection layer 4 is recessed corresponding to the second portion 32 , and part of the third portion 41 is disposed on the side of the first portion 31 away from the substrate 1 , that is, this part of the third portion 41 is not recessed but is disposed flat.

[0040] The substrate 1 may be a hard substrate, such as a glass substrate, or a flexible substrate, and its material may be polyimide, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyparaxylene, polyethersulfone or polyethylene naphthalate. The substrate 1 is mainly used to support the device disposed thereon.

[0041] See also Figure 4Optionally, the substrate 1 may include a substrate and an array layer, and the array layer may include a driving circuit. For example, the array layer may include a fourth conductive layer, a third conductive layer, a first conductive layer 2, and a second conductive layer 3, which are arranged on one side of the substrate and stacked. Exemplarily, the pixel driving circuit arranged in the array layer includes a transistor T and a storage capacitor C. The transistor T includes an active layer Z, a gate G, a source S, and a drain D. The storage capacitor R includes a first plate R1 and a second plate R2. As an example, the gate G and the first plate C may be located in the fourth conductive layer, the second plate R2 may be located in the third conductive layer, the source S and the drain D may be located in the first conductive layer 2, and the transition connection portion L for connecting the light-emitting structure 5 and the pixel driving circuit may be located in the second conductive layer 3.

[0042] Optionally, the materials of the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 3 both include metal, which has good conductivity and is easy to prepare; optionally, the materials of the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 3 include at least one of titanium, aluminum, and molybdenum.

[0043] See also Figure 3 to Figure 4 In some optional embodiments, the second part 32 includes a first sub-portion 321 and a second sub-portion 322 recessed in the second groove K2, the extension direction of the first sub-portion 321 is parallel to the plane direction of the substrate 1, and the extension direction of the second sub-portion 322 intersects with the extension direction of the first sub-portion 321; the auxiliary connection layer 4 covers the first sub-portion 321 and the second sub-portion 322.

[0044] It can be understood that the extension direction of the first sub-portion 321 is parallel to the plane direction of the substrate 1, that is, the first sub-portion 321 can be set corresponding to the bottom of the second groove K2, and the first sub-portion 321 can contact the substrate 1, and the extension direction of the second sub-portion 322 intersects with the extension direction of the first sub-portion 321, that is, the second sub-portion 322 can cover the side of the part of the first conductive layer 2 forming the second groove K2, and the auxiliary connection layer 4 covers the first sub-portion 321 and the second sub-portion 322 to realize the concave-convex contact connection between the auxiliary connection layer 4 and the second part 32, which effectively improves the stability of the connection between the auxiliary connection layer 4 and the second part 32.

[0045] Optionally, the angle between the extension direction of the second sub-section 322 and the extension direction of the first sub-section 321 should not be too small, otherwise the second portion 32 may be bent too much, resulting in film rupture, and the stability of the auxiliary connection layer 4 on the second sub-section 322 is not utilized. Optionally, the angle between the extension direction of the second sub-section 322 and the extension direction of the first sub-section 321 is greater than or equal to 90° and less than or equal to 135°, so that the first sub-section 321 and the second sub-section 322 have a smooth transition to avoid damage.

[0046] See also Figure 3 to Figure 4In some optional embodiments, the fourth portion 42 includes a third sub-portion 421 and a fourth sub-portion 422 recessed in the first groove K1, the third sub-portion 421 is in contact with the first conductive layer 2, and the fourth sub-portion 422 covers the side of the second conductive layer 3 forming the first groove K1.

[0047] In this embodiment, the third sub-portion 421 and the fourth sub-portion 422 can be connected as a whole, the third sub-portion 421 is in direct contact with the first conductive layer 2, and the second conductive layer 3 is not arranged therebetween, and the fourth sub-portion 422 can also be in contact with the side of the second conductive layer 3 forming the first groove K1, thereby further improving the reliability of the combination of the third sub-portion 421, the fourth sub-portion 422 and other film layers located in the first groove K1, and avoiding the problem of film peeling.

[0048] See also Figure 5 Optionally, in the display area AA, the display panel also includes a light emitting structure 5 arranged on one side of the substrate 1, and along the direction away from the substrate 1, the light emitting structure 5 includes a first electrode layer 51, a light emitting layer 52 and a second electrode layer 53 which are stacked; the auxiliary connection layer 4 is arranged on the same layer as the first electrode layer 51 and is electrically connected to the first electrode layer 51.

[0049] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the auxiliary connection layer 4 and the first electrode layer 51 are arranged on the same layer and are electrically connected to the first electrode layer 51, so that the auxiliary connection layer 4 provides a driving signal for the first electrode layer 51. The auxiliary connection layer 4 and the first electrode layer 51 can be formed together using the same process to simplify the process flow, that is, the material of the auxiliary connection layer 4 can be the same as that of the first electrode layer 51, thereby reducing production costs.

[0050] Optionally, the light-emitting layer 52 includes one or more of an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, a light-emitting material layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron blocking layer, a hole transport layer and a hole injection layer. The specific type of the light-emitting layer 52 can be selected without special limitation. The electron injection layer, the electron transport layer and the hole blocking layer can be arranged between the second electrode layer 53 and the light-emitting material layer. The electron blocking layer, the hole transport layer and the hole injection layer can be arranged between the first electrode layer 51 and the light-emitting material layer.

[0051] The material of the first electrode layer 51 is generally a material with a high work function to improve the hole injection efficiency, and may be gold (Au), platinum (Pt), titanium (Ti), silver (Ag), indium tin oxide (ITO), zinc tin oxide (IZO) or a transparent conductive polymer (such as polyaniline), etc. For example, the first electrode layer 51 may be made of an ITO-Ag-ITO composite material, without special limitation.

[0052] The material of the second electrode layer 53 can be one of the metal materials such as silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), ytterbium (Yb), calcium (Ca) or indium (In), and can also be an alloy of the aforementioned metal materials, such as magnesium-silver alloy (Mg / Ag) and lithium-aluminum alloy (Li / Al), but this embodiment does not impose any limitation on this.

[0053] See also Figure 6 In some optional embodiments, the second grooves K2 and the first grooves K1 are arranged in a row along the first direction X, and the second grooves K2 and the first grooves K1 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y are parallel to the plane where the substrate 1 is located, and the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect.

[0054] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the second slots K2 and the first slots K1 are arranged in an array along the first direction X and the second direction Y, respectively, to improve the regularity of the second slots K2 and the first slots K1, and to facilitate preparation. In addition, along the second direction Y, the second slots K2 and the first slots K1 form different columns, respectively, to avoid mutual influence. Optionally, the second slots K2 and the first slots K1 do not overlap along the second direction Y, that is, the second slots K2 and the first slots K1 are staggered in the second direction Y, which is convenient for separate preparation.

[0055] Of course, according to actual needs, the second slots K2 and the first slots K1 may also be arranged in other forms without special limitation.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, along a direction perpendicular to the direction of the substrate 1 , the cross-sectional shape of the second groove K2 is polygonal or curved; and / or, along a direction perpendicular to the direction of the substrate 1 , the cross-sectional shape of the first groove K1 is polygonal or curved.

[0057] It is understandable that the cross-sectional shape of the second slot K2 in this embodiment can be a polygon such as a rectangle, a trapezoid, or a curved shape such as a curved trapezoid, as long as it can be ensured that the second portion 32 of the second conductive layer 3 and the third portion 41 of the auxiliary connection layer 4 are correspondingly sunken into the second slot K2, and the second conductive layer 3 and the auxiliary connection layer 4 will not be damaged due to the cross-sectional shape of the second slot K2. Similarly, the cross-sectional shape of the first slot K1 can be a polygon such as a rectangle, a trapezoid, or a curved shape such as a curved trapezoid.

[0058] Optionally, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the substrate 1 , the cross-sectional shape of the second slot K2 is a trapezoid, and the angle between the base and the waist of the trapezoid is greater than 90° and less than or equal to 135°.

[0059] The inventors have found through research that the angle between the bottom and waist of the trapezoid should not be too small, otherwise the second conductive layer 3 in the second slot K2 may be bent to a greater extent and easily damaged, and should not be too large, otherwise the second conductive layer 3 may be too flat, which is not conducive to improving the reliability of the combination with the auxiliary connection layer 4. Optionally, the angle between the bottom and waist of the trapezoid can be equal to any one of 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, and 135°.

[0060] Optionally, along a direction perpendicular to the direction of the substrate 1 , a cross-sectional shape of the second slot K2 is an isosceles trapezoid.

[0061] And / or, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the substrate 1, the cross-sectional shape of the first groove K1 is a trapezoid, and the angle between the bottom side and the waist of the trapezoid is greater than 90° and less than or equal to 135°. Similarly, when the cross-sectional shape of the first groove K1 is a trapezoid, the angle between the bottom side and the waist of the trapezoid should not be too small. If it is too small, the auxiliary connection layer 4 located in the first groove K1 may be bent to a large extent and easily damaged. If it is too large, the auxiliary connection layer 4 may be too flat. Optionally, the angle between the bottom side and the waist of the trapezoidal first groove K1 may be equal to any one of 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, and 135°.

[0062] See also Figure 1 In some optional embodiments, the non-display area NA includes an arc angle area BA and a straight edge area ZA connected to the arc angle area BA; the second groove K2 and the first groove K1 are at least located in the arc angle area BA.

[0063] The inventors have found through research that in the display panel of the prior art, in the arc angle area BA of the non-display area NA, since the conductive layer and the auxiliary connection layer 4 are both arranged flat, the overlapping width of the conductive layer and the auxiliary connection layer 4 is the largest, and the probability of film peeling is correspondingly greater. Therefore, at least in the arc angle area BA, a structure in which the second groove K2 and the first groove K1 are staggered is adopted to improve the reliability of the combination of the second conductive layer 3 and the auxiliary connection layer 4, increase the contact area between the second conductive layer 3 and the auxiliary connection layer 4 at the second groove K2, and increase the contact area between the first conductive layer 2 and the auxiliary connection layer 4 at the first groove K1, thereby improving the stability of the auxiliary connection layer 4 and avoiding the problem of film peeling between the auxiliary connection layer 4 and the film layer located thereunder.

[0064] Optionally, the non-display area NA includes four arc-angle areas BA and four straight-edge areas ZA, and the arc-angle areas BA and the straight-edge areas ZA are alternately arranged along the circumference of the display panel.

[0065] In this embodiment, the display panel may be in a rectangular shape, but its four corners are arc corners.

[0066] An embodiment of the present application further provides a display device, which includes the display panel of any of the above embodiments.

[0068] The display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display device, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) or a micro flat panel display device (Micro-OLED or Micro-LED).
