[0029] In the related technology, the RGB self-alignment pixelation technology is used to replace the fine metal mask (FMM), which can realize pixel-level packaging, reduce the spacing between light-emitting units, improve the resolution of OLED products, and reduce the high cost and long development cycle of FMM.
[0030] RGB self-aligned pixelation technology uses an isolation structure to separate adjacent light-emitting units. The bottom electrode of the light-emitting unit is electrically connected to the pixel circuit in the array substrate through a via. If the etching boundary of the isolation structure falls within the via, the etching solution in the subsequent etching process is likely to accumulate in the via, causing the isolation structure to be over-etched, affecting the overlap between the electrode and the isolation structure, and forming dark spots. If the etching boundary of the isolation structure crosses the via, the spacing between adjacent light-emitting units at that location increases, which is not conducive to the realization of high resolution.
[0031] In order to improve the reliability of the display panel while achieving high PPI, that is, to improve the reliability of the high PPI display panel, the embodiments of the present application provide a display panel and a display device. The light-emitting unit and the isolation structure are overlapped on one side, and the vias are arranged in any direction other than the overlapping side and the opposite side of the overlap. In this case, on the one hand, since there is no need to set a via on the overlapping side, the isolation structure on the overlapping side can be made narrow, which is conducive to achieving high PPI; on the other hand, even if the etching solution is accumulated in the via, causing the isolation structure to be over-etched, since the via is arranged on the non-overlapping side, it will not affect the overlapping effect between the light-emitting unit and the isolation structure, thereby improving the reliability of the display panel.
[0032] In the accompanying drawings, the sizes of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity of illustration. It is understood that when a structure is referred to as being "on or under" another structure, the structure may be directly on or under the other structure, or there may be intermediate structures. The same reference numerals always indicate the same structure. The structures mentioned herein include any of a film layer, an element, a device, a component, and an assembly.
[0033] When a structure is referred to as being “connected” to another structure, the structure may be directly connected to the other structure or indirectly connected to the other structure with one or more intermediate structures interposed therebetween.

[0035] It should be noted that arrow lines are used in the drawings provided in the embodiments of the present application to indicate the overlapping direction of the second electrode 53 and the isolation structure 40 .
[0036] The direction parallel to the substrate 10 includes all directions in the 360° circumference with the centroid of the substrate 10 as the origin. The first direction x can be any direction in the 360° circumference, and the second direction y can be any direction in the 360° circumference except the first direction x. Exemplarily, the first direction x and the second direction y are perpendicular.
[0037] Any film structure, such as the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 53, has a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other in one direction.

In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the isolation structure 40 can be T-shaped. The isolation portion 41 includes a conductive portion, and the isolation portion 41 and the second electrode 53 overlap. The isolation portion 41 can be designed as an independent film layer, that is, there is no physical interface inside the isolation portion 41, and each part is composed of the same material. Alternatively, the isolation portion 41 can be designed to be composed of at least two film layers stacked. For example, the isolation portion 41 is formed by stacking two conductive film layers.

Figure 4 The isolation structure shown and Figure 2 , Figure 3 The difference between the isolation structures shown is that, in this embodiment, the isolation structure 40 also includes a bonding portion 43, the bonding portion 43 is located on the side of the isolation portion 41 close to the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the isolation portion 41 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection range of the bonding portion 43 on the substrate 10. In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the isolation structure 40 can be an I-shape. Exemplarily, the material of the bonding portion 43 is aluminum. In this case, the isolation portion 41 can be an independent film layer, and the material of the isolation portion 41 can be molybdenum.
[0043] The composition, preparation and other contents of the isolation structure (also called partition structure) 40 are disclosed in patents CN118251982A, 202410864269.8, patent PCT / CN2024 / 098407, patent PCT / CN2024 / 102783, patent PCT / CN2024 / 098217, patent PCT / CN2024 / 099419, patent PCT / CN2024 / 099072, and patent CN11797 9755A, patent CN117998900A, patent CN117062489A, patent CN117580403A, patent CN116583155A, patent CN116669477A, patent CN117396039A, patent CN116669480A, patent CN116600606A, and patent CN117500332A, the contents of which are incorporated into this application by reference for reference.
[0044] The light-emitting unit 50 may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED), a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), etc. The light-emitting unit 50 may be a light-emitting device of various colors, such as a red light-emitting device R, a green light-emitting device G, a blue light-emitting device B, etc.
[0045] The light-emitting unit 50 includes a first electrode 51, a light-emitting structure 52, and a second electrode 53 stacked in sequence in a direction away from the substrate 10. Exemplarily, the first electrode 51 is an anode and the second electrode 53 is a cathode. Alternatively, the first electrode 51 is a cathode and the second electrode 53 is an anode. The light-emitting structure 52 includes a light-emitting layer, and may further include at least one of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, and an electron blocking layer located between the anode and the light-emitting layer, and at least one of an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, and a hole blocking layer located between the cathode and the light-emitting layer.
[0046] In one embodiment, the plurality of light emitting units 50 include a plurality of first light emitting units 510, and the via holes H corresponding to the plurality of first light emitting units 510 are all located at the third end c of the first electrode 51. Figure 1As shown, the plurality of light-emitting units 50 include four first light-emitting units 510, and the via holes H corresponding to each first light-emitting unit 510 are located at the third end c of the first electrode 51 of the first light-emitting unit 510. The first light-emitting unit 510 includes any one of a blue light-emitting device B, a green light-emitting device G, and a red light-emitting device R. In this case, by setting the via holes H of the light-emitting units 510 of the same color at the same end of the first electrode 51, that is, the third end c, the layout design of the via holes H is facilitated.
[0047] According to the display panel provided in this embodiment, the light-emitting unit 50 and the isolation structure 40 are overlapped on one side, and the via H is set in any direction other than the first direction x (the overlapping side and the overlapping opposite side) parallel to the substrate 10. In this case, on the one hand, since the via H does not need to be set on the overlapping side, the isolation structure 40 on the overlapping side can be made narrow, which is conducive to achieving a high PPI; on the other hand, even if the etching solution is gathered in the via H, causing the isolation structure 40 to be over-etched, since the via H is set on the non-overlapping side, it will not affect the overlapping effect between the light-emitting unit 50 and the isolation structure 40, thereby improving the reliability of the display panel.
[0048] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 As shown, the plurality of light-emitting units 50 further include a second light-emitting unit 520. The second end b of the second electrode 53 of the second light-emitting unit 520 overlaps the isolation structure 40. The via H corresponding to the second light-emitting unit 520 is located at the third end c of the first electrode 51. The second light-emitting unit 520 and the first light-emitting unit 510 have different colors. The second light-emitting unit 520 includes any one of a blue light-emitting device B, a green light-emitting device G, and a red light-emitting device R.
[0049] In one embodiment, the plurality of light emitting units 50 include a plurality of second light emitting units 520, and the via holes H corresponding to the plurality of second light emitting units 520 are all located at the third end c of the first electrode 51. The advantage is that the layout design of the via holes H is convenient.
[0050] In one embodiment, the first light emitting unit 510 and the second light emitting unit 520 are disposed adjacent to each other.
[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 As shown, the plurality of light-emitting units 50 further include a third light-emitting unit 530. The second end b of the second electrode 53 of the third light-emitting unit 530 overlaps the isolation structure 40. The via H corresponding to the third light-emitting unit 530 is located at the fourth end d of the first electrode 51. The third light-emitting unit 530 and the first light-emitting unit 510 have different colors. The third light-emitting unit 530 includes any one of a blue light-emitting device B, a green light-emitting device G, and a red light-emitting device R.
[0052] In one embodiment, the plurality of light-emitting units 50 include a plurality of third light-emitting units 530, and the second end b of the second electrode 53 of the third light-emitting unit 530 overlaps the isolation structure 40. The vias H corresponding to the plurality of third light-emitting units 530 are all located at the fourth end d of the first electrode 51. The advantage is that the layout design of the vias H is convenient.
[0053] In one embodiment, the first light emitting unit 510 and the third light emitting unit 530 are disposed adjacent to each other.
[0054] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the display panel further includes a second light emitting unit 520 and a third light emitting unit 530. The second light emitting unit 520 and the third light emitting unit 530 are located on the same side of the first light emitting unit 510 in the first direction x, and the second light emitting unit 520 and the third light emitting unit 530 are arranged along the second direction y. The via holes H of the first light emitting unit 510 and the second light emitting unit 520 are both located at the third end c of the first electrode 51, and the via hole of the third light emitting unit 530 is located at the fourth end d of the first electrode 51. The first light emitting unit 510, the second light emitting unit 520 and the third light emitting unit 530 constitute a pixel unit. Exemplarily, the first light emitting unit 510 includes a blue light emitting device B, the second light emitting unit 520 includes a green light emitting device G, and the third light emitting unit 530 includes a red light emitting device R.
[0055] According to the display panel provided in this embodiment, the via holes H corresponding to the light emitting units 50 in the same pixel unit are all located at the periphery of the pixel unit, that is, no via holes H are provided between adjacent light emitting units 50 in the same pixel unit. In this way, the spacing between different light emitting units 50 in the same pixel unit can be reduced, so the spacing between adjacent light emitting units 50 in the pixel unit can be made narrow, which is conducive to achieving high resolution and improving display effect.
[0056] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the second end b of the second electrode 53 of the second light-emitting unit 520 overlaps the isolation structure 40, and the second end b of the second electrode 53 of the third light-emitting unit 530 overlaps the isolation structure 40. Since the overlapping side of the isolation structure 40 requires high precision, the isolation structure 40 where the first light-emitting unit 510, the second light-emitting unit 520, and the third light-emitting unit 530 overlap is concentrated in the same part, that is, the isolation structure located between the first light-emitting unit 510 and the second light-emitting unit 520, and the first light-emitting unit 510 and the third light-emitting unit 530, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the display panel and improving the product yield.
[0057] In one embodiment, the array layer 20 further includes a scan line and a data line electrically connected to the light emitting unit 50 , the scan line extends along a first direction x, and the data line extends along a second direction y.
[0058] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a top view of a display panel provided in the second embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The display panel and Figure 1 The difference between the display panels shown is that, in this embodiment, the first end a of the second electrode 53 of the first light-emitting unit 510 overlaps with the isolation structure 40, the first end a of the second electrode 53 of the second light-emitting unit 520 overlaps with the isolation structure 40, and the first end a of the second electrode 53 of the third light-emitting unit 530 overlaps with the isolation structure 40. That is, the overlapping directions of the first light-emitting unit 510, the second light-emitting unit 520 and the third light-emitting unit 530 are the same. This has the advantage of being easy to prepare.
[0059] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a top view of a display panel provided in the third embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 The difference between the display panel shown and the display panel provided in any of the above embodiments is that, in the present embodiment, the first light emitting unit 510 , the second light emitting unit 520 and the third light emitting unit 530 are arranged in sequence along the first direction x.
[0060] In one embodiment, the via holes H of the first light emitting unit 510, the second light emitting unit 520 and the third light emitting unit 530 are all located at the third end c of the first electrode 51. This has the advantage that the layout design of the via holes H is facilitated.
[0061] In one embodiment, the first end a of the second electrode 53 of the first light-emitting unit 510 overlaps with the isolation structure 40, the first end a of the second electrode 53 of the second light-emitting unit 520 overlaps with the isolation structure 40, and the first end a of the second electrode 53 of the third light-emitting unit 530 overlaps with the isolation structure 40. That is, the overlapping directions of the first light-emitting unit 510, the second light-emitting unit 520, and the third light-emitting unit 530 are the same. This has the advantage of being easy to prepare.
[0062] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the top structure of a display panel provided in the fourth embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 for Figure 7 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the display panel along the N5N6 line is shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,as well as Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen from the display panel that the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 40 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the via H on the substrate 10. Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the isolation portion 41 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the via H on the substrate 10.
[0063] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, part of the edge of the orthographic projection of the isolation portion 41 on the substrate 10 is located between the orthographic projection of the via hole H on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit 50 on the substrate 10. This has the advantage that the concave structure on the side wall of the isolation structure 40 at the via hole H has a higher precision, thereby improving the overlap effect of the second electrode 53 and the isolation structure 40.
[0064] For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, part of the edge of the orthographic projection of the isolation portion 41 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection range of the via hole H on the substrate 10. This has the advantage that the isolation structure 40 at the via hole H can be made narrower, which is conducive to the realization of high resolution.
[0065] Fig. 9 for Figure 1 The following is a partial enlarged view of the display panel. Fig. 9 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the display panel further includes a pixel definition layer 60, which is located between the isolation structure 40 and the insulating layer 30. The pixel definition layer 60 encloses a pixel opening G2, and the pixel opening G2 is connected to the isolation opening G1. Exemplarily, the material of the pixel definition layer 60 is an inorganic material.
[0066] Specifically, the pixel definition layer 60 surrounds the light emitting unit 50, and the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 40 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection range of the pixel definition layer 60 on the substrate 10. The pixel definition layer 60 encloses the pixel opening G2, and the isolation opening G1 is connected to the pixel opening G2. The orthographic projection of the isolation opening G1 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection range of the pixel opening G2 on the substrate 10.
[0067] In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the pixel definition layer 60 on the substrate 10 covers the orthographic projection of the via hole H on the substrate 10 .
[0068] In one embodiment, in combination Fig. 9 and Figure 2 As shown, the first electrode 51 includes a main body 511 and a connecting portion 512 located in the corresponding via hole H. In the second direction y, the main body 511 has a first side and a second side that are oppositely arranged. The connecting portion 512 is located on the first side of the corresponding main body 511. The width D1 of the pixel definition layer 60 on the first side is greater than or equal to the width D2 of the pixel definition layer 60 on the second side.
[0069] In one embodiment, the main body 511 further has a third side, and the second electrode 53 overlaps the isolation structure 40 on the third side. The width D3 of the pixel definition layer 60 on the third side is smaller than the width D1 of the pixel definition layer 60 on the first side.
[0070] In one embodiment, the boundary of the light emitting unit 50 on the third side is a straight edge, that is, the overlapping side of the light emitting unit 50 is a straight edge. Straight edges have better overlapping effects.
[0071] In one embodiment, the straight edge is perpendicular to the first direction x, that is, the overlapping edge is perpendicular to the overlapping direction, further improving the overlapping effect.
[0072] In one embodiment, the first electrode 51 further has a fourth side, and the fourth side is disposed opposite to the third side. A width D4 of the pixel definition layer 60 on the fourth side is greater than a width D3 of the pixel definition layer 60 on the third side.
[0073] In one embodiment, the boundary of the light emitting unit 50 at the fourth side c4 is a straight edge.
[0074] In one embodiment, the shape of the light emitting unit 50 comprises a rectangle.
[0075] According to the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application, by setting the width of the pixel definition layer 60 on the side where the connecting portion 512 is located to be greater than the width of at least part of the pixel definition layer 60 on other sides, that is, the width of the pixel definition layer 60 on the side where the via H is located is greater than the width of at least part of the pixel definition layer 60 on other sides, it is beneficial to achieve a high PPI.
