Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and a method for preparing the same, and a display device. Background Art
[0002] A display panel is a device with a display function. Current display panels, such as organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and display panels based on technologies such as light emitting diodes (LED), have the advantages of high image quality, power saving, thin body and wide range of applications. They are widely used in various consumer electronic products such as mobile phones, televisions, laptops, desktop computers, etc. and have become the mainstream in display panels. In the preparation process of traditional display panels, the graphicization of luminous pixels is usually achieved through a fine metal mask (FMM). FMM technology is mature and has rich experience in mass production. However, FMM technology also has problems such as limited accuracy, high development cost, and long development cycle. The non-fine metal mask technology eliminates the limitations of traditional OLED processes on display screen size, resolution and other screen performance, and has the advantages of high performance, full-domain size, and agile delivery.

[0078] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.
[0079] In addition, the terms “first”, “second”, etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish between the descriptions and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0080] The present application provides a display panel according to a first aspect. Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of the display panel shown in the figure, the display panel includes: a substrate 100; an isolation structure 200, which is located on one side of the substrate 100, and the isolation structure 200 has a plurality of first openings 210; a light-emitting device 300, the light-emitting device 300 includes a light-emitting functional layer 320, an auxiliary electrode layer 330 and a second electrode layer 340 which are stacked in sequence; the light-emitting functional layer 320, the auxiliary electrode layer 330 and the second electrode layer 340 are located in the first opening 210; the orthographic projection of at least part of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 on the substrate 100 is connected to or overlapped with the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 200 on the substrate 100.
[0081] According to the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application, at least part of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 is connected to or overlapped with the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 200 on the substrate 100, and at least part of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 fills the gap between the isolation structure 200 and the light-emitting functional layer 320, which is beneficial to improving the film continuity of the second electrode layer 340, reducing the lap resistance between the isolation structure 200 and the second electrode layer 340, and improving the optical efficiency or brightness of the display panel.
[0082] It can be understood that the meaning of at least part of the auxiliary electrode layer 330's orthographic projection on the substrate 100 being in contact with the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 200 on the substrate 100 is that at least part of the auxiliary electrode layer 330's orthographic projection on the substrate 100 is in contact with the edge where the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 200 on the substrate 100 is in contact.
[0083] For example, along the direction parallel to the plane of the substrate 100, the spacing between the orthographic projection of the light-emitting functional layer 320 on the substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 200 on the substrate 100 is 0.2 μm-0.5 μm. Specifically, it can be 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5 μm.
[0084] The inventor discovered in the process of realizing the present invention that in the prior art, the second electrode layer 340 is located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 320 away from the substrate 100. Since there is a gap between the light-emitting functional layer 320 and the isolation structure 200, and the thickness of the second electrode layer 340 is relatively thin, the second electrode layer 340 is not continuously formed at the gap, which increases the lap resistance between the second electrode layer 340 and the isolation structure 200, resulting in low optical efficiency or brightness of the display panel. In the present application, an auxiliary electrode layer 330 is provided between the light-emitting functional layer 320 and the second electrode layer 340. The auxiliary electrode layer 330 will fill part of the gap between the light-emitting functional layer 320 and the isolation structure 200. When the second electrode layer 340 is formed, the auxiliary electrode layer 330 can be used as a substrate to facilitate the formation of the second electrode layer 340, so that the second electrode layer 340 has strong film continuity, and the second electrode layer 340 can be smoothly overlapped with the isolation structure 200, and the lap resistance is relatively low, thereby improving the optical efficiency or brightness of the display panel.
[0085] It can be understood that the auxiliary electrode layer 330 is located between the light-emitting functional layer 320 and the second electrode layer 340, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of the light-emitting functional layer 320 on the substrate 100, and at least a portion of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 located outside the orthographic projection range of the light-emitting functional layer 320 on the substrate 100 is connected to or overlapped with the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 200 on the substrate 100. Thus, the auxiliary electrode layer 330 can fill a portion of the gap between the isolation structure 200 and the light-emitting functional layer 320, so that the second electrode layer 340 can be smoothly formed, the second electrode layer 340 film layer is continuous, so that the second electrode layer 340 and the isolation structure 200 have excellent overlap effect, reduce the overlap resistance between the second electrode layer 340 and the isolation structure 200, and improve the optical efficiency or brightness of the display panel.
[0086] In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 on the substrate 100 is connected to or overlapped with the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 200 on the substrate 100. As a result, the contact area between the auxiliary electrode layer 330 and the isolation structure 200 is large, and the auxiliary electrode layer 330 fills the gap between the isolation structure 200 and the light-emitting functional layer 320, which is more conducive to the smooth and continuous film formation of the second electrode layer 340, so that the second electrode layer 340 and the isolation structure 200 have excellent overlapping effects, and the overlapping resistance between the second electrode layer 340 and the isolation structure 200 is reduced.
[0087] In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 on the substrate 100 is within the range of the orthographic projection of the second electrode layer 340 on the substrate 100. Thus, the second electrode layer 340 can directly overlap the isolation structure 200, and the second electrode layer 340 can protect the auxiliary electrode layer 330, which helps to prevent the auxiliary electrode layer 330 from being corroded.
[0088] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 In the structural diagram of the display panel shown, part of the second electrode layer 340 is located on the side wall of the isolation structure 200. Therefore, the second electrode layer 340 can be directly overlapped with the isolation structure 200, and the second electrode layer 340 can protect the auxiliary electrode layer 330, which is conducive to preventing the auxiliary electrode layer 330 from being corroded; in addition, the second electrode layer 340 can also protect the light-emitting functional layer 320 from being corroded by the etching solution in the subsequent etching process, thereby improving the yield of the display panel.
[0089] In one embodiment, the second electrode layer 340 on the sidewall of the isolation structure 200 is a continuous film layer. Therefore, the lap resistance between the second electrode layer 340 and the isolation structure 200 is low, the lap yield is high, and the optical efficiency or brightness of the display panel is improved.
[0090] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown in the structural schematic diagram of the display panel, the auxiliary electrode layer 330 extends from the first opening 210 to the side wall of the isolation structure 200, that is, part of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 is located on the side wall of the auxiliary electrode layer 330, thereby being more conducive to the continuous film formation of the second electrode layer 340 located on the side wall of the isolation structure 200.
[0091] In one embodiment, the height of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 located on the sidewall of the isolation structure 200 is 0.1 μm-0.3 μm. Specifically, it can be 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 μm. This is more conducive to the continuous film formation of the second electrode layer 340 located on the sidewall of the isolation structure 200.
[0092] In one embodiment, the second electrode layer 340 located in the first opening 210 is a continuous film layer, thereby facilitating the realization of a full-surface cathode.
[0093] In one embodiment, the thickness of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 is For example, it can be or As a result, the auxiliary electrode layer 330 has an appropriate thickness, and has an excellent effect of filling the gap between the isolation structure 200 and the light-emitting functional layer 320, and can serve as a substrate when the second electrode layer 340 is formed, which is beneficial to the smooth and continuous film formation of the second electrode layer 340, so that the second electrode layer 340 and the isolation structure 200 have an excellent overlap effect, thereby reducing the overlap resistance between the second electrode layer 340 and the isolation structure 200; and the auxiliary electrode layer 330 has an excellent conductive effect within the above-mentioned thickness range, and a better transparency effect.
[0094] In one embodiment, the thickness of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 is For example, it can be or The auxiliary electrode layer 330 has excellent conductivity and better transparency within the above thickness range; it is also conducive to the smooth and continuous film formation of the second electrode layer 340, so that the second electrode layer 340 and the isolation structure 200 have excellent overlap effect, and reduce the overlap resistance between the second electrode layer 340 and the isolation structure 200.
[0095] In one embodiment, the auxiliary electrode layer 330 and the second electrode layer 340 are made of different materials. Exemplarily, the material of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 includes at least one of ytterbium, titanium and aluminum; the material of the second electrode layer 340 includes at least one of magnesium, aluminum and silver. Thus, the auxiliary electrode layer 330 and the second electrode layer 340 both have excellent effects, and the auxiliary electrode layer 330 also has an excellent effect of assisting carrier injection, which is beneficial to improving the luminous efficiency of the display panel.
[0096] Exemplarily, the material of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 is ytterbium, and the material of the second electrode layer 340 is an alloy of magnesium and silver. The auxiliary electrode layer 330 and the second electrode layer 340 have excellent coordination effect. The auxiliary electrode layer 330 can fill the gap between the isolation structure 200 and the light-emitting functional layer 320. The second electrode layer 340 has excellent film continuity. The auxiliary electrode layer 330 also has an excellent auxiliary carrier injection effect, which is beneficial to improving the luminous efficiency of the display panel.
[0097] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 The structural diagram of the display panel shown in the figure, the display panel also includes: a first encapsulation layer 400, located on the side of the second electrode layer 340 away from the substrate 100, the first encapsulation layer 400 includes a plurality of encapsulation parts 410, the encapsulation parts 410 correspond to the first openings 210, and the orthographic projections of the encapsulation parts 410 on the substrate 100 cover the orthographic projections of the second electrode layer 340 on the substrate 100. Therefore, the encapsulation parts 410 correspond to the first openings 210, which is conducive to realizing pixel-level encapsulation and improving the encapsulation effect of the display panel.
[0098] Exemplarily, the light emitting device 300 includes light emitting devices of different colors, such as a red light emitting device R, a green light emitting device G, a blue light emitting device B, etc. For ease of preparation, a light emitting device of one color may be prepared first, and a corresponding encapsulation portion 410 may be prepared on the side of the light emitting device 300 away from the substrate 100, and then a light emitting device of another color and a corresponding encapsulation portion 410 may be prepared, until light emitting devices of all colors are prepared. For example, the preparation may be carried out in the order of the red light emitting device R, the green light emitting device G, and the blue light emitting device B, or in the order of arrangement of light emitting devices of other colors.
[0099] Exemplarily, when manufacturing a light-emitting device of one color, the light-emitting functional layer 320, the auxiliary electrode layer 330, the second electrode layer 340 and the packaging part 410 can be evaporated throughout the layer, and then the light-emitting functional layer 320, the auxiliary electrode layer 330, the second electrode layer 340 and the packaging part 410 at the first opening 210 corresponding to the light-emitting devices of the remaining colors are etched away. The packaging part 410 can protect the light-emitting functional layer 320, the auxiliary electrode layer 330 and the second electrode layer 340, and prevent the light-emitting functional layer 320, the auxiliary electrode layer 330 and the second electrode layer 340 of the light-emitting device of the previous color from being etched away by the etching process used in preparing the light-emitting device of the latter color.
[0100] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the structure of the isolation structure shown in the figure, the isolation structure 200 includes a first part 201 and a second part 202 stacked, the first part 201 is located on the side of the second part 202 away from the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the second part 202 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection range of the first part 201 on the substrate 100. Exemplarily, the second part 202 can be designed as an independent film layer, that is, there is no physical interface inside the second part 202, and each part is composed of the same material, for example, the material of the second part 202 is aluminum. Alternatively, the second part 202 can be designed to be composed of at least two film layers stacked. For example, the second part 202 is formed by stacking two conductive film layers, the materials of the two conductive film layers can be molybdenum and aluminum, respectively, and the conductive film layer composed of molybdenum is located between the substrate 100 and the conductive film layer composed of aluminum. Exemplarily, the second part 202 includes a conductive sub-part, or the second part 202 itself is a conductive structure. The second part 202 overlaps the first electrode layer 310 of the light emitting device 300 so that the first electrode layers 310 of adjacent light emitting devices 300 are electrically connected to each other, thereby realizing a full-surface cathode. The material of the first part 201 can be an organic material, an inorganic material, or a metal material. When the first part 201 is a metal material, the material of the second part 202 can be titanium. In this case, the cross-section of the isolation structure 200 is T-shaped or inverted trapezoidal.
[0101] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 In the structural schematic diagram of the display panel shown, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode layer 330 on the substrate 100 is connected or overlapped with the orthographic projection of the second portion 202 on the substrate 100. The auxiliary electrode layer 330 and the second portion 202 can be effectively overlapped, and then the auxiliary electrode layer 330 can fill part of the gap between the light-emitting functional layer 320 and the isolation structure 200, which is conducive to the continuous film formation of the second electrode layer 340.
[0102] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 81 , the isolation structure 200 further includes a third portion 203, which is located on the side of the second portion 202 close to the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the second portion 202 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection range of the third portion 203 on the substrate 100. Exemplarily, the second portion 202 is a conductive film layer composed of aluminum, and the third portion 203 is a conductive film layer composed of molybdenum. In this case, the cross-section of the isolation structure 200 is an I-shaped.
