(The composition, preparation, etc. of the isolation structure 40 mentioned below are described in patents CN118251982A, 202410864269.8, PCT / CN2024 / 098407, PCT / CN2024 / 102783, PCT / CN2024 / 098217, PCT / CN2024 / 099419, PCT / CN2024 / 099072 , CN117979755A, CN117998900A, CN117062489A, CN117580403A, CN116583155A, CN116669477A, CN117396039A, CN116669480A, CN116600606A, CN117500332A for reference. )
[0062] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown in , the display panel 1 of the present invention has a display area AA and a non-display area NA connected to the display area AA. A plurality of light-emitting devices 30 are provided in the display area AA, and each light-emitting device 30 independently emits light, thereby forming a display image in the display area AA. A driving device and a plurality of signal wirings are provided in the non-display area NA, one end of the signal wiring is electrically connected to the driving device, and the other end thereof extends to the display area AA and is electrically connected to the light-emitting device 30 located in the display area AA. Among them, the driving device can be selected from electronic devices such as a flexible printed circuit (FPC) and a driving chip (IC). The driving device can send a display signal to the display area AA through the signal wiring according to the display requirements, and the display area AA can light up the corresponding light-emitting device 30 according to the display signal, thereby realizing the control of the display image.
[0063] like Figure 3As shown in , the substrate 10 is an array substrate, which includes thin film transistors arranged in an array and signal wiring. Each light-emitting device 30 is electrically connected to at least one thin film transistor located in the display area AA. The driving device can be bound to the substrate 10 in the non-display area NA through the COF (Chip On Film) process or the FOP (FPC On Panel) process, so that the driving device is electrically connected to one end of the signal wiring.

[0079] Further, with the end of the first folded line segment 21211 away from the first straight portion 2111 as the starting point, the distance between the first folded line segment 21211 and the first straight portion 2111 in the second direction X and the length of the first folded line segment 21211 increased in the first direction Y satisfy the first function.

Taking the end of the second overlapping section 3132 away from the first overlapping portion 312 as the starting point, the distance between the second overlapping section 3132 and the first overlapping portion 312 in the second direction X and the thickness increased by the second overlapping section 3132 in the first direction Y satisfy the second function. (The function graphs of the first function and the second function are shown in FIG. Fig.12 )
[0080] Furthermore, in the display panel 1 provided in another embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting device 30 included therein may also be a double-sided overlapping light emitting device, that is: Figure 6As shown in FIG, both sides of the first electrode 33 of the light emitting device 30 in the second direction X are overlapped with the isolation structure 40 to achieve electrical connection. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1 , the specific forms of the first electrode 33 of the double-sided overlapping light-emitting device 30 and the corresponding pixel opening 21 are as follows:
[0081] The first electrode 33 located above the first straight portion 2111 and above the second straight portion 2112 overlaps with the isolation structure 40 , and the first electrode 33 located above the first straight portion 2111 and above the second straight portion 2112 has a first thickness.
[0082] The first fold line portion 2121 includes a first fold line segment 21211 and a second fold line segment 21212. The two ends of the first fold line segment 21211 are respectively connected to the second fold line segment 21212 and the first straight line portion 2111. The second fold line segment 21212 is connected between the first fold line segment 21211 and the second straight line portion 2112.

[0083] The second fold line portion 2122 includes a third fold line segment 21221 and a fourth fold line segment 21222. The third fold line segment 21221 is connected between the fourth fold line segment 21222 and the first straight line portion 2111. The fourth fold line segment 21222 is connected between the third fold line segment 21221 and the second straight line portion 2112. The angle between the third fold line segment 21221 and the first straight line portion 2111 is greater than 90 degrees, and the angle between the fourth fold line segment 21222 and the second straight line portion 2112 is greater than 90 degrees.

[0084] The overlapping portion includes a plurality of first overlapping portions 312 and a plurality of second overlapping portions 313, and the first overlapping portions 312 and the second overlapping portions 313 may be an integrated structure, thereby forming an integrated overlapping portion. The plurality of first overlapping portions 312 include a third overlapping section 3121 and a fourth overlapping section 3122, wherein the third overlapping section 3121 is located above the first straight portion 2111, and the fourth overlapping section 3122 is located above the second straight portion 2112. The plurality of second overlapping portions 313 include a first overlapping section 3131, a second overlapping section 3132, a fifth overlapping section 3133, and a sixth overlapping section 3134, wherein the first overlapping section 3131 is located above the first folded line section 21211, the second overlapping section 3132 is located above the third folded line section 21221, the fifth overlapping section 3133 is located above the second folded line section 21212, and the sixth overlapping section 3134 is located above the fourth folded line section 21222.
[0085] In this embodiment, the thickness of the main body 311 may be greater than the thickness of the first overlap portion 312. Preferably, due to the limitation of the evaporation process, the thickness of the main body 311 is in the range of 120-220 angstroms, and the thickness of the first overlap portion 312 is in the range of 60-110 angstroms. For example, the thickness of the main body 311 may be 150 angstroms, and the thickness of the first overlap portion 312 is less than or equal to 75 angstroms. The thickness of the second overlap portion 313 at one end away from the first overlap portion 312 is greater than or equal to 0 angstroms and less than the thickness of the first overlap portion 312, and the thickness of the end connected to the first overlap portion 312 is less than or equal to the thickness of the first overlap portion 312 and greater than the thickness of the end away from the first overlap portion 312. Preferably, as the spacing between the second overlap portion 313 and the first overlap portion 312 gradually decreases, the thickness of the second overlap portion 313 gradually increases, that is, in the direction close to the first overlap portion 312, the second overlap portion 313 gradually increases from 0 angstroms to the same or similar thickness as the first overlap portion 312 (for example, less than or equal to 75 angstroms), and the function graph of the gradual increase in the thickness of the second overlap portion 313 is consistent with the image of the arc morphology function of the first arc and the second arc, so that the thickness of both ends of the first electrode 33 is smaller than the thickness at the middle position of the first electrode 33, thereby improving the effective overlap rate of the first electrode 33. At the same time, the double-sided overlapped first electrode can also prevent the subsequent film layer process from excessively etching the pixel defining layer and causing defects such as cracks and grooves on the surface of the pixel defining layer.
[0086] Further, with the end of the second folded line segment 21212 away from the second straight line portion 2112 as the starting point, the distance between the second folded line segment 21212 and the second straight line portion 2112 in the second direction X and the length of the second folded line segment 21212 increased in the first direction Y satisfy a third function, and the second direction X is perpendicular to the first direction Y. With the end of the fifth overlapping segment 3133 away from the fourth overlapping segment 3122 as the starting point, the distance between the fifth overlapping segment 3133 and the fourth overlapping segment 3122 in the second direction X and the thickness of the fifth overlapping segment 3133 increased in the first direction Y satisfy the third function. Specifically, with the end of the fourth folded line segment 21222 away from the second straight line portion 2112 as the starting point, the distance between the fourth folded line segment 21222 and the second straight line portion 2112 in the second direction X and the length of the fourth folded line segment 21222 increased in the first direction Y satisfy a fourth function. Taking the end of the sixth overlapping section 3134 away from the fourth overlapping section 3122 as the starting point, the distance between the sixth overlapping section 3134 and the fourth overlapping section 3122 in the second direction X and the thickness increased by the sixth overlapping section 3134 in the first direction Y satisfy the fourth function. (The third function and the fourth function are as shown in Fig.13 )
[0087] Furthermore, in other embodiments of the present invention, the single-sided overlapped first electrode and the double-sided overlapped first electrode can be freely matched according to actual needs, for example: all light-emitting devices are provided with the single-sided overlapped first electrode, or all light-emitting devices are provided with the double-sided overlapped first electrode, or some light-emitting devices are provided with the single-sided overlapped first electrode, and the remaining light-emitting devices are provided with the double-sided overlapped first electrode. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0088] Further, the contact area between the overlapped portion located above the plurality of second edge portions 212 and the isolation structure 40 is not greater than the contact area between the overlapped portion located above at least one first edge portion 211 and the isolation structure 40, that is, the contact area between the second overlapped portion 313 and the isolation structure 40 is not greater than the contact area between the first overlapped portion 312 and the isolation structure 40. Preferably, the contact area between the second overlapped portion 313 and the isolation structure 40 is smaller than the contact area between the first overlapped portion 312 and the isolation structure 40. Moreover, in the direction close to the first edge portion 211, the contact area between the overlapped portion located above the plurality of second edge portions 212 and the isolation structure 40 gradually increases, that is, the contact area between the second overlapped portion 313 and the isolation structure 40 gradually increases in the direction close to the first overlapped portion 312.
[0089] Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the isolation portion 42 on the substrate 10 covers the orthographic projection of the support portion 41 on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection area of the isolation portion 42 on the substrate 10 is larger than the orthographic projection area of the support portion 41 on the substrate 10, so that the isolation portion 42 can completely cover the support portion 41, and thus when preparing the light-emitting functional layer 32, it can prevent the material of the light-emitting functional layer 32 from being evaporated onto the support portion 41, and when preparing the first electrode 33, by adjusting the evaporation angle of the first electrode 33 material, the coverage area of the first electrode 33 can be made larger than the coverage area of the light-emitting functional layer 32, so that the first electrode 33 can extend from the surface of the light-emitting functional layer 32 away from the substrate 10 to the side wall of the support portion 41 facing the isolation opening 43, so as to facilitate the overlap of the first electrode 33 and the support portion 41. Specifically, when preparing a light-emitting device 30 of a single-sided overlap type of the first electrode 33, such as Figure 8 As shown in , the nozzles 2 in the evaporation equipment for preparing the first electrode 33 can be tilted toward the first straight portion 2111 side of the pixel opening 21, so that all the nozzles 2 are directed toward the side wall of the support portion 41 corresponding to the first straight portion 2111, so that the material ejected by the nozzles 2 can be deposited on the side wall of the support portion 41 corresponding to the first straight portion 2111. When preparing the double-sided overlapped light-emitting device 30 of the first electrode 33, as shown in Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the nozzle 2 in the evaporation equipment for preparing the first electrode 33 can be partially inclined toward the first straight portion 2111 side of the pixel opening 21, and partially inclined toward the second straight portion 2112 side, so that part of the nozzle 2 is directed toward the side wall of the support portion 41 corresponding to the first straight portion 2111, and part of the nozzle 2 is directed toward the side wall of the support portion 41 corresponding to the second straight portion 2112, so that the material ejected by the nozzle 2 can be deposited on the side walls of the support portion 41 corresponding to the first straight portion 2111 and the second straight portion 21122.
[0090] The encapsulation layer 50 is arranged on the side of the light emitting device 30 away from the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the encapsulation layer 50 on the substrate 10 covers the orthographic projection of the light emitting device 30 on the substrate 10. The encapsulation layer 50 includes a plurality of sub-encapsulation parts 51, and each isolation opening 43 is provided with at least one sub-encapsulation part 51. Specifically, the sub-encapsulation part 51 extends from the surface of the first electrode 33 away from the substrate 10 to the side of the isolation structure 40 away from the substrate 10. The encapsulation layer 50 is used to encapsulate and protect the display device in the display panel 1, and its material includes inorganic materials, and can be prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
