[0083] Embodiments of the present application provide a display panel, a display device, and a method for manufacturing a display panel. Embodiments of the display panel, the display device, and the method for manufacturing a display panel are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0084] An embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, which may be an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel.
[0085] Please also read Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 is a schematic top view of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a partial top view of the first display area provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of Figure 4 It is a partial cross-sectional view of the first display area provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0086] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 10, and the display panel 10 includes: a substrate 100; an isolation structure 200, which is located on the substrate 100, and at least a portion of the isolation structures 200 are arranged to be spaced apart from each other, and the isolation structures 200 enclose an isolation opening 240; a light-emitting layer 300, which is located on the substrate 100, and the light-emitting layer 300 includes a light-emitting unit 310 at least partially located in the isolation opening 240; a burr structure 250, and at least a portion of the burr structure 250 is arranged around at least a portion of the isolation structure 200.
[0087] At least part of the burr structure 250 is disposed around at least part of the isolation structure 200, which means that at least part of the plurality of burr structures 250 surrounds at least part of the plurality of isolation structures 200. And one burr structure 250 surrounds an entire isolation structure 200, or one burr structure 250 surrounds part of an isolation structure 200.
[0088] Optionally, the burr structure 250 is disposed around at least a portion of the isolation structure 200 in a direction parallel to the substrate 100 .
[0089] According to the display panel 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the display panel 10 includes a substrate 100, an isolation structure 200, a light-emitting layer 300 and a burr structure 250. When preparing the light-emitting layer 300, the light-emitting layer 300 has a large drop at the edge of the isolation structure 200, which is difficult to connect, and thus breaks. The light-emitting layer 300 breaks to form mutually disconnected light-emitting units 310, thereby reducing the crosstalk of carriers in the light-emitting layer 300, improving the display effect of the display panel 10, and preparing the light-emitting unit 310 can be prepared without using a precision mask plate, which can reduce the development and use of precision masks and reduce the preparation cost. At least part of the isolation structure 200 is arranged at intervals, thereby forming more gaps to increase the area of the light-transmitting region and improve the transmittance of the display panel 10. The burr structure 250 is arranged on the periphery of at least part of the isolation structure 200, so that the diffraction regularity of the external light when passing through the light-transmitting region is destroyed by the burr structure 250, suppressing the diffraction of the external light, and improving the photosensitivity of the region and the performance of the display panel 10.
[0090] There are many ways to set the substrate 100. For example, the substrate 100 may include a substrate and an array substrate arranged on the substrate. Alternatively, the substrate 100 is the substrate. Alternatively, the substrate 100 includes a buffer layer and a support plate on a side away from the substrate.
[0091] In some optional embodiments, the burr structure 250 is disposed around the isolation structure 200 .
[0092] In these optional embodiments, a burr structure 250 surrounds an entire isolation structure 200, increasing the setting range of the burr structure 250, so that the diffraction regularity of more external light passing through the light-transmitting area is destroyed by the burr structure 250, thereby suppressing the diffraction of external light and improving the photosensitivity of the area and the performance of the display panel 10.
[0093] In some optional embodiments, the orthographic projection of the burr structure 250 on the substrate 100 is an irregular shape, for example, the orthographic projection edge of the burr structure 250 on the substrate 100 is an irregular curve or irregular sawtooth or irregular broken line.
[0094] In these optional embodiments, the irregular burr structure 250 has a better effect of suppressing the diffraction of external light, further reducing the diffraction of external light in the light-transmitting area, and improving the photosensitivity of the light-transmitting area and the performance of the display panel 10.
[0095] like Figure 3As shown, the burr structure 250 can be arranged in various ways. For example, in some optional embodiments, the burr structure 250 includes a plurality of protrusions 260, and at least some of the protrusions 260 have different shapes of the orthographic projections on the substrate 100, and / or at least some of the protrusions 260 have different sizes of the orthographic projections on the substrate 100, and / or the protrusions 260 have a farthest end 261 away from the isolation opening 240, and at least some of the farthest ends 261 of the protrusions 260 have different distances from the isolation structure 200. All of these make the orthographic projection of the burr structure 250 on the substrate 100 an irregular pattern, further reducing the diffraction of external light in the light-transmitting area, and improving the photosensitivity of the light-transmitting area and the performance of the display panel 10. Optionally, the protrusions 260 protrude from the isolation structure 200 in a direction away from the isolation opening 240, and at least some of the protrusions 260 have different protruding directions.
[0096] The farthest end 261 of the protrusion 260 refers to the end point farthest from the isolation structure 200 in the direction from the isolation opening 240 to the burr structure 250 .
[0097] Please also read Figures 4 to 10 , Figure 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of a first display area provided by another embodiment; Figure 6 is a partial cross-sectional view of a first display area provided by another embodiment; Figure 7 is a partial cross-sectional view of a first display area provided by yet another embodiment; Figure 8 is a partial cross-sectional view of a first display area provided by another embodiment; Fig.10 is a partial cross-sectional view of a first display area provided in yet another embodiment.
[0098] like Figures 4 to 10 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the burr structure 250 is disposed at the same layer as at least a portion of the isolation structure 200 .
[0099] In these optional embodiments, the burr structure 250 is in the same layer as at least part of the film layer structure of the isolation structure 200, so that the burr structure 250 and at least part of the film layer of the isolation structure 200 can be prepared simultaneously to reduce the process and simplify the preparation process.
[0100] like Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the isolation structure 200 includes a first layer 210 and a second layer 220 located on the side of the first layer 210 facing away from the substrate 100 , and the orthographic projection of the first layer 210 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the second layer 220 on the substrate 100 .
[0101] In these optional embodiments, the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 are stacked to form the isolation structure 200, the orthographic projection of the side of the first layer 210 disposed close to the substrate 100 away from the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the second layer 220 on the substrate 100, the orthographic projection area of the second layer 220 is larger than the orthographic projection area of the side of the first layer 210 away from the substrate 100, and the second layer 220 covers the surface of the first layer 210 close to the second layer 220, and at this time, the first layer 210 is recessed relative to the second layer 220 in a direction away from the second isolation opening 242 and the first isolation opening 241. When preparing the light-emitting layer 300, the light-emitting layer 300 has a large drop at the edge of the isolation structure 200, and the first layer 210 is recessed relative to the second layer 220, so that the light-emitting layer 300 is difficult to connect at the edge of the isolation structure 200, and thus breaks, and the light-emitting layer 300 breaks to form mutually disconnected light-emitting units 310. All embodiments of the present application do not require the isolation structure 200 to be an inverted trapezoidal structure or a two-layer structure, and any structure that can achieve the isolation effect of the light-emitting layer 300 is sufficient.
[0102] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the burr structure 250 is disposed in the same layer as at least one of the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 .
[0103] In these optional embodiments, the burr structure 250 and the first layer 210 are arranged in the same layer, so that the burr structure 250 and the first layer 210 can be prepared simultaneously; or, the burr structure 250 and the second layer 220 are arranged in the same layer, so that the burr structure 250 and the second layer 220 can be prepared simultaneously; or, the burr structure 250 and the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 are arranged in the same layer, so that the burr structure 250 and the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 can be prepared simultaneously, simplifying the preparation process. Therefore, the burr structure 250 can be a single-layer structure or a two-layer structure.
[0104] Optionally, the first layer 210 includes a conductive material, for example, the first layer 210 includes a non-metallic conductive material or a metallic conductive material, so as to achieve electrical connection between the isolation structure 200 and the second electrode 600 .
[0105] In some optional embodiments, the second layer 220 includes a conductive material or an insulating material, wherein the insulating material may be at least one of silicon nitride or silicon oxide.
[0106] In these optional embodiments, the second layer 220 includes a conductive material, for example, the second layer 220 includes a non-metallic conductive material or a metallic conductive material. When the second layer 220 is a non-metallic conductive material or an insulating material, the second layer 220 is difficult to be etched during wet etching of the first layer 210 using an etching solution, so that the first layer 210 is more easily concavely arranged relative to the second layer 220.
[0107] In some optional embodiments, the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 include metal materials, and the materials of the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 are different.
[0108] In these optional embodiments, when both the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 are made of metal materials, the first layer 210 may be wet-etched with an etching solution, and the etching rate of the second layer 220 may be set to be lower than the etching rate of the first layer 210 by setting the etching solution. Since the etching rate of the first layer 210 is relatively high, when the etching solution is used for wet etching, even if the second layer 220 is etched to a certain extent, the first layer 210 is etched faster, so that the first layer 210 is set concave relative to the second layer 220.
[0109] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a partial cross-sectional view of a first display area provided in yet another embodiment.

[0145] Optionally, the isolation structure 200 , the burr structure 250 and the connection portion 270 are arranged in the same layer, so that the isolation structure 200 , the burr structure 250 and the connection portion 270 can be manufactured simultaneously, thereby reducing the manufacturing process.
[0146] Optionally, the burr structure 250 includes a conductive material, so that the isolation structure 200 is electrically connected to the connection portion 270 through the burr structure 250 , thereby achieving electrical conduction between adjacent isolation structures 200 .
[0147] See also Fig.18 and Fig.19 , Fig.18 is a partial top view of the first display area provided by another embodiment; Fig.19 is a partial cross-sectional view of a first display area provided in yet another embodiment.
[0148] like Fig.18 and Fig.19 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the burr structure 250 includes a first burr structure 251 and a second burr structure 252, the first burr structure 251 is arranged around at least a portion of the isolation structure 200, and the second burr structure 252 is arranged on at least one side of the connecting portion 270 in a direction parallel to the substrate 100.
[0149] In these optional embodiments, the first burr structure 251 is arranged around at least part of the isolation structure 200, so that when external light passes around the isolation structure 200, the first burr structure 251 on the side of the isolation structure 200 can suppress the diffraction of external light around the isolation structure 200. The second burr structure 252 is arranged on at least one side of the connection portion 270, so that when external light passes around the connection portion 270, the second burr structure 252 on the side of the connection portion 270 can suppress the diffraction of external light around the connection portion 270. The burr structure 250 is arranged on both the isolation structure 200 and the connection portion 270 to increase the distribution area of the burr structure 250, so that the diffraction of more external light can be suppressed, thereby improving the photosensitivity effect of the first display area AA1.
[0150] like Figures 15 to 17 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the plurality of first isolation structures 201 are distributed in an array along the first direction X and / or the second direction Y, and the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect.

[0152] In these optional embodiments, the connection portion 270 extends along the first direction X, or the connection portion 270 extends along the second direction Y, or the connection portion 270 extends along the first direction X and the second direction Y. The connection portion 270 extends along the same direction, that is, two first isolation structures 201 adjacent to each other in the same direction are connected to each other through the connection portion 270, so that multiple isolated first isolation structures 201 are electrically connected to each other, which is convenient for providing potential to multiple first electrodes 410 of the first display area AA1. And the connection portion 270 is only provided between two first isolation structures 201 adjacent to each other in the same direction, which can reduce the number of the connection portions 270, increase the light-transmitting area of the first display area AA1, and enhance the light-sensing effect of the first display area AA1.

The orthographic projection of the connection portion 270 on the substrate 100 is a curve, and the curved connection portion 270 is irregular compared to the straight line, which can reduce the diffraction of light caused by the connection portion 270 and improve the photosensitivity of the first display area AA1.

[0159] Optionally, the two connecting portions 270 extend in different directions.

For example, the orthographic projection shape of some of the connecting portions 270 on the substrate 100 is a straight line, and the orthographic projection shape of some of the connecting portions 270 on the substrate 100 is a curve, or at least two of the connecting portions 270 have different curved shapes. At least two of the connecting portions 270 have different extension directions, and multiple connecting portions 270 extend along multiple different directions to avoid the connecting portions 270 being uniformly distributed in a certain direction, further reduce the uniformity of the distribution of the connecting portions 270, destroy the diffraction caused by the connecting portions 270, and improve the photosensitive effect of the first display area AA1. For example, when the shapes of the two connecting portions 270 are different, the extension directions of the two connecting portions 270 can be the same or different; when the extension directions of the three connecting portions 270 are different, the shapes of the three connecting portions 270 can be the same or different.

[0163] In some optional embodiments, the orthographic projection of each light emitting unit 310 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of each first electrode 410 on the substrate 100 .
[0164] In these optional embodiments, the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit 310 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the first electrode 410 on the substrate 100, that is, the first electrode 410 is arranged to cover the light-emitting unit 310 to serve as an electrode of the light-emitting unit 310, thereby ensuring normal light emission of the light-emitting unit 310 and improving the display effect of the display panel 10.
[0165] Optionally, the light-emitting unit 310 and the isolation structure 200 are spaced apart, that is, the light-emitting units 310 are spaced apart from each other, thereby reducing the crosstalk of carriers between the light-emitting units 310 and improving the cross-color problem of the light-emitting units 310.

[0167] In these optional embodiments, the pixel opening 520 formed by the pixel defining portion 510 is used to define the light emitting area of the display panel 10. The pixel opening 520 is connected to the isolation opening 240 to reduce the shielding of the pixel opening 520 by the isolation structure 200, thereby ensuring the light emitting effect of the display panel 10.
[0168] In some optional embodiments, the isolation structure 200 is located on a side of the pixel defining portion 510 facing away from the substrate 100 .
[0169] In these optional embodiments, the isolation structure 200 is disposed on the pixel defining portion 510, and the isolation structure 200 has a large height difference equivalent to the pixel opening 520. When preparing the light-emitting layer 300, due to the large height difference, the light-emitting layer 300 is more easily disconnected at the isolation structure 200, thereby reducing the difficulty of preparing the light-emitting unit 310.
[0170] In some optional embodiments, the display panel 10 further includes: a second electrode 600 located between the substrate 100 and the light emitting unit 310 , and the second electrode 600 is exposed by the pixel opening 520 .
[0171] In these optional embodiments, the second electrode 600 serves as an electrode of the light-emitting unit 310 to ensure the light emission of the light-emitting unit 310. One of the first electrode 410 and the second electrode 600 serves as an anode of the light-emitting unit 310, and the other serves as a cathode of the light-emitting unit 310. The embodiment of the present application takes the first electrode 410 as the cathode of the light-emitting unit 310 and the second electrode 600 as the anode of the light-emitting unit 310 as an example.
[0172] Optionally, the light emitting layer 300 includes an electron injection layer (EIL), an electron transport layer (ETL), a light emitting material layer, a hole injection layer (HIL) and a hole transport layer (HTL).
[0173] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown, the second aspect of the present application provides a display panel 10, the display panel 10 includes a second display area AA2 and a first display area AA1, the transmittance of the second display area AA2 is less than the transmittance of the first display area AA1, and the display panel 10 also includes: a substrate 100; an isolation structure 200, located on the substrate 100, the isolation structure 200 includes a second isolation structure 202 located in the second display area AA2 and a plurality of first isolation structures 201 located in the first display area AA1, the plurality of first isolation structures 201 are arranged at intervals from each other, the second isolation structures 202 enclose a second isolation opening 242, and the first isolation structures 201 enclose a first isolation opening 241; a light-emitting layer 300, located on the substrate 100, the light-emitting layer 300 includes a light-emitting unit 310 at least partially located in the first isolation opening 241 and the second isolation opening 242; a burr structure 250, at least a portion of the burr structure 250 is arranged around at least a portion of the first isolation structure 201, and the orthographic projection of the burr structure 250 on the substrate 100 is an irregular shape.
[0174] According to the display panel 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the display panel 10 includes a substrate 100, an isolation structure 200, a light-emitting layer 300 and a burr structure 250. When preparing the light-emitting layer 300, the light-emitting layer 300 has a large drop at the edge of the isolation structure 200, which is difficult to connect, and thus breaks. The light-emitting layer 300 breaks to form mutually disconnected light-emitting units 310, thereby reducing the crosstalk of carriers in the light-emitting layer 300, improving the display effect of the display panel 10, and preparing the light-emitting unit 310 can be prepared without using a precision mask plate, which can reduce the development and use of precision masks and reduce the preparation cost. At least part of the isolation structure 200 is arranged at intervals, thereby forming more gaps to increase the area of the light-transmitting region and improve the transmittance of the display panel 10. The burr structure 250 surrounds the first isolation structure 201, so that the diffraction regularity of the external light when passing through the first display area AA1 is destroyed by the burr structure 250, suppressing the diffraction of the external light, and improving the photosensitivity of the first display area AA1 and the performance of the display panel 10. The irregular burr structure 250 has a better effect of suppressing the diffraction of external light, further reducing the diffraction of external light in the first display area AA1, and improving the photosensitivity of the first display area AA1 and the performance of the display panel 10.
[0175] The structural design in this embodiment can be applied to other display panels 10 , and the specific selection can be made according to actual conditions, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions on it.
[0176] The embodiment of the third aspect of the present application further provides a display device, comprising the display panel 10 of any of the above embodiments. Since the display device provided by the embodiment of the third aspect of the present application comprises the display panel 10 of any of the above embodiments, the display device provided by the embodiment of the third aspect of the present application has the beneficial effects of the display panel 10 of any of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0177] The display device in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablet computers, e-books, televisions, access control systems, smart landline phones, consoles, and other devices with display functions.
[0178] See also Figures 1 to 20 , Fig. 20 It is a schematic flow chart of a method for preparing a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0179] The fourth aspect of the present application also provides a method for preparing a display panel 10. The display panel 10 may be the display panel 10 provided in any of the above embodiments. Fig. 20 As shown, the preparation method comprises:
[0180] Step S01: preparing isolation structures and burr structures on a substrate, wherein at least part of the isolation structures are spaced apart from each other, the isolation structures enclose isolation openings, and at least part of the burr structures are arranged around at least part of the isolation structures.
[0181] Step S02: preparing a light-emitting layer on a substrate, wherein the light-emitting layer includes light-emitting units at least partially located in the isolation openings.
[0182] According to the preparation method of the fourth embodiment of the present application, the isolation structure 200 and the burr structure 250 are prepared by step S01, and the isolation structure 200 and the burr structure 250 are prepared simultaneously to simplify the preparation process. The light-emitting layer 300 is prepared by step S02. When preparing the light-emitting layer 300, the light-emitting layer 300 has a large drop at the edge of the isolation structure 200, which is difficult to connect, and thus breaks. The light-emitting layer 300 breaks to form mutually disconnected light-emitting units 310, thereby reducing the crosstalk of carriers in the light-emitting layer 300 and improving the display effect of the display panel 10. In addition, the light-emitting unit 310 can be prepared without the use of a precision mask plate, which can reduce the development and use of precision masks and reduce the preparation cost. At least part of the isolation structure 200 is arranged at intervals to form more gaps to increase the area of the light-transmitting region and improve the transmittance of the display panel 10. A burr structure 250 is provided around at least part of the isolation structure 200 so that the diffraction regularity of external light passing through the light-transmitting area is destroyed by the burr structure 250, thereby suppressing the diffraction of external light and improving the photosensitivity of the area and the performance of the display panel 10.
