DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0057] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0058] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.
[0059] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0060] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0061] It is important to know that with the continuous advancement of display technology, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display technology has been widely used in high-end display fields such as smartphones, tablets, TVs and wearable devices due to its advantages such as excellent color performance, wide viewing angle, fast response and thin and light design.
[0062] In the current pixel structure of OLED displays, the cathode signal line is a key part of transmitting current, and its layout is often limited by factors such as pixel arrangement density, screen size and resolution. As screen size continues to increase and resolution continues to improve, the cathode signal line inevitably needs to be designed to be longer to cover the entire display area. This long signal transmission path leads to a significant resistance voltage drop problem.
[0063] The resistance voltage drop on the cathode signal line will not only affect the uniform distribution of current, resulting in uneven screen brightness, but also increase energy consumption and reduce display efficiency. Especially when displaying high brightness or dynamic images, the voltage drop problem is particularly prominent due to the increased current demand, which seriously affects the display effect and user experience of the OLED display.
[0064] Based on this, the present application improves the related display panel and display device.
[0065] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a top view of the structure of a display panel provided in this embodiment. Figure 2The partial cross-sectional view of the display panel provided by the present embodiment is shown. The present embodiment includes a substrate 100, a plurality of pixels 300, a first wiring structure 200 and a plurality of first connection structures 500; the plurality of pixels 300 are arranged on one side of the substrate 100, the plurality of pixels 300 are spaced apart on the display area 330, and a suspension structure 400 is arranged between two adjacent pixels 300, and the cathode 320 of the pixel 300 is overlapped on the suspension structure 400; the first wiring structure 200 surrounds at least part of the display area 330, and the first wiring structure 200 is used to receive a cathode power supply signal; the plurality of first connection structures 500 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first wiring structure 200, and the first wiring structure 200 is electrically connected to the suspension structure 400 through the first connection structure 500.
[0066] It should be explained that the multiple pixels 300 are the basic units constituting the display screen, and they are spaced apart on the surface of the display area 330. Each pixel 300 includes a light-emitting element (such as an organic light-emitting diode in an OLED), and the light-emitting performance of these elements determines the color and brightness of the pixel 300.
[0067] The overhang structure 400 is arranged between two adjacent pixels 300, and mainly serves to isolate different pixels 300. The cathode 320 of the pixel 300 in this embodiment is also connected to these overhang structures 400, thereby realizing the transmission of the cathode power supply signal of the pixel 300. This design helps to simplify the wiring between pixels 300 and improve the pixel 300 density and display resolution. The composition, preparation and other contents of the overhang structure 400 are described in patents CN118251982A, 202410864269.8, PCT / CN2024 / 098407, PCT / CN2024 / 102783, PCT / CN2024 / 098217, PCT / CN2024 / 099419, PCT / CN2024 / 099072, CN 117979755A, CN117998900A, CN117062489A, CN117580403A, CN116583155A, CN116669477A, CN117396039A, CN116669480A, CN116600606A, and CN117500332A for reference.
[0068] The first wiring structure 200 surrounds at least a portion of the display area 330 and is used to receive a cathode power signal. This layout allows multiple pixels 300 to be connected to the first wiring structure 200 around the display area 330 to reduce the voltage drop of the cathode power signal.
[0069] In the current display panel, it is necessary to set up a wiring structure on the entire surface, and the signal path from the wiring structure to the cathode 320 of the pixel 300 is long, and there is a large voltage drop. However, the present application accesses the cathode power signal through the first wiring structure 200, and transmits the cathode power signal to the cathode 320 of the pixel 300 through the first connection structure 500 and the overhang structure 400; by setting the first connection structure 500 to directly connect the overhang structure 400 and the first wiring structure 200, it is helpful to shorten the transmission path of the cathode power signal of the pixel 300 near the connection area, thereby helping to reduce the voltage drop of the cathode power signal of the pixel 300.
[0070] For some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, in the thickness direction a of the display panel, the first wiring structure 200 is disposed on the side of the overhang structure 400 close to the substrate 100. The first wiring structure 200 is disposed on the side of the overhang structure 400 close to the substrate 100, and it serves as an electrical connection bridge to transmit the power signal to each pixel 300.
[0071] In some other embodiments, the first wiring structure 200 may also be disposed on a side of the overhanging structure 400 facing away from the substrate 100 .
[0072] For some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first wiring structure 200 and the anode 310 of the pixel 300 are arranged on the same layer.
[0073] In some embodiments, the anode 310 of the pixel 300 may include metal oxide, metal or a multi-layer material composite. Exemplarily, the anode 310 is ITO / Ag / ITO, and the pixel 300 circuit supplies power to the anode 310 for display control.
[0074] In other embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the display panel provided in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the first wiring structure 200 can also be arranged on the side of the anode 310 of the pixel 300 close to the substrate 100. In other words, the first wiring structure 200 is not arranged on the same layer as the anode 310, but is arranged on the same layer as the metal layer below the anode 310.
[0075] In some other embodiments, a portion of the first wiring structure 200 is disposed in the same layer as the anode 310, and a portion is disposed on a side of the anode 310 close to the substrate 100. Specifically, the first wiring structure 200 can be alternately routed in the layer where the anode 310 is located and the layer where the anode 310 is close to the substrate 100. Alternatively, the first wiring structure 200 is overlapped in the layer where the anode 310 is located and the layer where the anode 310 is close to the substrate 100, and the two portions are arranged in parallel, which is beneficial to reducing the resistance of the first wiring structure 200.
[0076] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the display panel provided in the present embodiment is shown; the display panel in the present embodiment further includes a pixel definition layer 510, at least a portion of the pixel definition layer 510 is arranged between the first wiring structure 200 and the overhang structure 400, a first via hole 520 is arranged on the pixel definition layer 510, at least a portion of the first connection structure 500 is arranged in the first via hole 520, and contacts the first wiring structure 200 and the overhang structure 400 respectively.
[0077] It should be explained that the pixel definition layer 510 is mainly used to define the boundary of each pixel 300, ensure electrical isolation and optical isolation between pixels 300, and provide necessary support and connection structures. The first via 520 allows the first connection structure 500 to pass through, so that the current or signal is transmitted from the first wiring structure 200 to the overhang structure 400, thereby realizing the transmission of the cathode power supply signal.
[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 The structure diagram of the display panel provided by the present embodiment is shown. A driving signal line 700 is arranged in the display panel of the present embodiment, and the first via hole 520 and the driving signal line 700 are staggered in the thickness direction a of the display panel; this helps to reduce the signal interference between the driving signal line 700 and the cathode 320 signal path. The driving signal line 700 can be electrically connected to the gate driving circuit.
[0079] In some embodiments, the pixel definition layer 510 is made of an insulating material, and the insulating material is preferably Si-based inorganic materials, such as SiO, SiN and other inorganic materials; it has a protective effect on the anode 310 to prevent the anode 310 from being oxidized.
[0080] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5In this embodiment, along the direction away from the substrate 100, the overhang structure 400 includes a first film layer 410, a second film layer 420 and a third film layer 430 which are stacked, the orthographic projection of the second film layer 420 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the third film layer 430 on the substrate 100, and the first connection structure 500 is an integral structure with the first film layer 410. The material of the first film layer 410 may include molybdenum, the material of the second film layer 420 may include aluminum, and the material of the third film layer 430 may include titanium.
[0081] For some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 5 , at least part of the first connection structure 500 is arranged on the same layer as the anode 310 .
[0082] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the structure of the display panel provided by the present embodiment is shown. In the present embodiment, along the extension direction of the first wiring structure 200, the first wiring structure 200 includes first sub-segments 210 and second sub-segments 220 that are alternately arranged, the first sub-segments 210 and the anode 310 of the pixel 300 are arranged in the same layer, and the second sub-segment 220 is located on the side of the anode 310 layer close to the substrate 100.
[0083] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 , Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the structure of the display panel provided by the present embodiment is shown. In the present embodiment, the first wiring structure 200 comprises a third sub-segment 230 and a fourth sub-segment 240 which are arranged in an overlapping manner, and the third sub-segment 230 and the fourth sub-segment 240 are arranged in parallel.
[0084] That is to say, the cathode power supply signal can be transmitted not only through the layer where the anode 310 is located, but also through the structural layer on one side of the anode 310 to achieve double-sided signal transmission, which is conducive to improving the speed and efficiency of signal transmission. This is especially important for display panels that require high-speed data transmission. In addition, by providing redundant signal transmission paths, the double-sided signal transmission structure can reduce the risk of signal interruption caused by single path failure, thereby improving signal stability. At the same time, the double-sided signal transmission structure helps to achieve more uniform current distribution and lower resistance voltage drop, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of electrical connections.
[0085] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8A partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the display panel provided in this embodiment is shown. When the first wiring structure 200 is connected to the cathode power signal, the cathode power signal flows along the first wiring structure 200, the first connection structure 500, and the overhang structure 400 to the cathode 320 of the pixel 300. The driving signal line 700 is located at the position of the frame 600, and the overhang structure 400 and the pixel 300 are in the display area 330.
[0086] In some embodiments, the pixel 300 may include an anode 310 , a light emitting layer 340 , a cathode 320 , and a first encapsulation layer 350 arranged sequentially from bottom to top.
[0087] In some embodiments, the light-emitting layer 340 is an EL (Electroluminescence) film layer, and the cathode 320 is made of materials such as MgAg alloy. The first encapsulation layer 350 is an encapsulation structure, which can isolate water vapor and protect the light-emitting layer 340. The first encapsulation layer 350 is preferably made of inorganic materials such as SiO and SiN. The first encapsulation layer 350 can be a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) film layer; Fig. 9 In this embodiment, a second encapsulation layer 800 may be added on the CVD film layer. The second encapsulation layer 800 may be an IJP structure (Ink Jet Printing) to form a multi-layer material structure.
[0088] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9 , a third encapsulation layer 900 may be disposed on the second encapsulation layer 800 , and the third encapsulation layer 900 is a CVD film layer.
[0089] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Fig.10 , Fig.10 A schematic diagram of the structure of the display panel provided by the present embodiment is shown; the display panel of the present embodiment also includes a first conductive structure 1100, a second wiring structure 1200 and a plurality of second connection structures 1300; the first conductive structure 1100 is electrically connected to the anodes 310 of a plurality of pixels 300, and the first conductive structure 1100 extends out of the display area 330; the second wiring structure 1200 surrounds at least a portion of the display area 330, and the second wiring structure 1200 is used to receive an anode power supply signal; the plurality of second connection structures 1300 are spaced apart and distributed along the extension direction of the second wiring structure 1200, and the second wiring structure 1200 is electrically connected to a portion of the first connection structure 500 extending out of the display area 330 through the second connection structure 1300.

[0095] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.11 In this embodiment, the plurality of second connection structures 1300 are electrically connected to the plurality of first conductive lines 1110 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0097] In some embodiments, see Fig.12 , each second conductive line 1120 in this embodiment extends out of the display area 330 along the column direction, and the end of the second conductive line 1120 is electrically connected to the second wiring structure 1200 through the second connection structure 1300;
[0098] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.12 In this embodiment, both ends of the first conductive line 1110 extend out of the display area 330, and both ends of the second conductive line 1120 extend out of the display area 330.

[0100] It should be explained that setting the first via 520 at the corner position of the surrounding path of the first routing structure 200 is beneficial to avoid the driving signal line 700 to reduce the signal interference between the driving signal line 700 and the first via 520; and on the other hand, it is also beneficial to reduce the size of the frame 600 of the display panel.
[0101] In an exemplary description, the display area 330 is a rectangular structure, and the first wiring structure 200 surrounds the display area 330 to form a rectangular ring structure. The first via 520 can be preferentially disposed on the corners (corners) of the rectangular ring structure.
[0102] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Fig.12 In this embodiment, there are multiple first via holes 520 , and the multiple first via holes 520 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first routing structure 200 .
[0103] It should be explained that by arranging the first vias 520 at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first wiring structure 200, it is possible to ensure that the current is evenly distributed during the transmission process. This helps to reduce local overheating and the concentration of electrical stress, thereby enhancing the electrical stability of the display panel. Since the first vias 520 directly affect the luminous performance of the pixels 300, their layout has an important impact on the display performance. Multiple first vias 520 arranged at intervals can ensure that more pixels 300 can obtain a stable and uniform current supply, thereby improving the uniformity and color saturation of the display, which is conducive to achieving high-quality image display.
[0104] In some embodiments, different design requirements can be flexibly adapted by adjusting the number and spacing of the first vias 520. For example, for a pixel region where the voltage drop of the cathode power supply signal is large, the number of the first vias 520 can be increased or the spacing can be reduced in the pixel region; and for a pixel region where the voltage drop of the cathode power supply signal is small, the number of the first vias 520 can be reduced or the spacing can be increased accordingly.
