[0101] Optionally, a plurality of first encapsulation parts 510 are arranged at intervals, and the orthographic projection of the filter unit 410 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection range of the first encapsulation part 510 on the substrate 100. The filter unit 410 is located in the isolation opening 210, so that part of the first encapsulation part 510 can extend out of the filter unit 410 to contact and connect with the second encapsulation layer 600, and the filter unit 410 is completely encapsulated.
[0102] There are many ways to configure the shape of the first packaging portion 510 . For example, the first packaging portion 510 is completely located in the isolation opening 210 .
[0103] In some other optional embodiments, the first packaging portion 510 includes a first sub-portion 511 and a second sub-portion 512 , wherein the first sub-portion 511 is located in the isolation opening 210 , and the second sub-portion 512 is connected to the peripheral side of the first sub-portion 511 and extends to a side of the isolation structure 200 away from the substrate 100 .
[0104] In these optional embodiments, a portion of the first encapsulation portion 510 is located in the isolation opening 210 to provide encapsulation protection for the light emitting unit 330, and the second encapsulation portion 610 extends to the side of the isolation structure 200 away from the substrate 100 to increase the coverage area of the first encapsulation portion 510 and increase the protection area of the light emitting unit 330. In addition, the boundary of the first encapsulation portion 510 is located on the isolation structure 200, and when the first encapsulation portion 510 is prepared by an etching process, the over-etching caused by process error can be improved, and the light emitting unit 330 is not covered by the first encapsulation portion 510.
[0105] Optionally, there is a gap between two adjacent first packaging parts 510 on the side of the isolation structure 200 facing away from the substrate 100 , so that the two first packaging parts 510 are discontinuous, thereby achieving independent packaging of each light-emitting unit 330 .
[0106] Optional, such as Figure 3As shown, the display panel further includes a light shielding layer, and the light shielding layer includes a light shielding portion 420. At least part of the light shielding portion 420 may be located in the gap between two adjacent first encapsulation portions 510. The light shielding portion 420 is used to prevent different color lights emitted by adjacent light emitting units 330 from crosstalking with each other, thereby affecting the display effect of the light emitting units 330.
[0107] In some optional implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the filter unit 410 has a first top surface 401 facing away from the substrate 100, the second section 512 has a second top surface 512a facing away from the substrate 100, the first top surface 401 is located on the side of the second top surface 512a facing the substrate 100, or the first top surface 401 and the second top surface 512a are flush.
[0108] In these optional embodiments, the first top surface 401 of the filter unit 410 facing away from the substrate 100 is not higher than the second top surface 512a of the second section 512 facing away from the substrate 100, which can ensure the flatness from the first top surface 401 to the second top surface 512a, and improve the yield of other film layers when other film layers are subsequently prepared.
[0109] In other embodiments, the first top surface 401 may also be slightly higher than the second top surface 512a, but does not extend onto the second top surface 512a, that is, the first top surface 401 is located on the side of the second top surface 512a away from the substrate 100, so as to ensure that the filter unit 410 has sufficient thickness and improve the filtering effect of the filter unit 410.
[0110] In some optional embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second encapsulation layer 600 includes a second encapsulation portion 610 located on a side of each filter unit 410 away from the substrate 100 , and the orthographic projection of the second encapsulation portion 610 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of the filter unit 410 on the substrate 100 .
[0111] In these optional embodiments, each filter unit 410 is further provided with a second packaging portion 610, which can provide packaging protection for the filter unit 410, improve the yield of the filter unit 410, and improve the effect of the preparation of the post-light emitting unit 330 on the filter unit 410.
[0112] In some optional embodiments, the second encapsulation portion 610 is in contact with a portion of the first encapsulation portion 510 , so that the second encapsulation portion 610 and the first encapsulation portion 510 can completely wrap the filter unit 410 , thereby providing better protection for the filter unit 410 .
[0113] Optionally, the second packaging portion 610 is in contact with the first packaging portion 510 located on the side of the isolation structure 200 facing away from the substrate 100 , for example, the second packaging portion 610 is in contact with the second sub-portion 512 , so that the second packaging portion 610 and the second sub-portion 512 can completely wrap the filter unit 410 .
[0114] In addition, the second packaging part 610 also covers the second sub-part 512 , which can improve the effect of the etching process on the second sub-part 512 during the preparation of the post-unit, ensure that the first packaging part 510 has a larger coverage area, and improve the yield of the light-emitting unit 330 .
[0115] During the preparation of the front light-emitting unit 330, for example, during the preparation of the first light-emitting unit 331, the first light-emitting material layer and the first packaging material layer will be covered on the entire surface of the isolation structure 200, and a portion of the first light-emitting material layer and the first packaging material layer will fall into the second isolation opening 212 and the third isolation opening 213. Then, the first light-emitting material layer and the first packaging material layer in the second isolation opening 212 and the third isolation opening 213 are etched away. When the etching force is insufficient, light-emitting material or packaging material residues will be left on the inner wall surface of the isolation structure 200 facing the second isolation opening 212 and the third isolation opening 213, affecting the yield of the rear light-emitting unit 330. When the etching force is too large, the yield of the first light-emitting unit 331, especially the first packaging part 510, will be affected, causing the first packaging part 510 to be over-etched.
[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, a filter unit 410 and a second packaging unit 610 are provided on the first packaging unit 510, and the second packaging unit 610 covers the second sub-portion 512, so that the first packaging unit 510 is not easily affected by the preparation of the rear light-emitting unit 330. Therefore, a suitable etching strength can be selected to better remove the light-emitting material and packaging material in the second isolation opening 212 and the third isolation opening 213, and improve the problem of residual light-emitting material or packaging material on the inner wall surface of the isolation structure 200 facing the second isolation opening 212 and the third isolation opening 213.
[0117] Optionally, the material of the second encapsulation layer 600 includes an inorganic material, so that the second encapsulation layer 600 has good compactness and a thin thickness.
[0118] In some optional embodiments, a plurality of second packaging parts 610 are arranged at intervals to achieve independent packaging of the filter unit 410 and improve the problem of water and oxygen intrusion.
[0119] Optionally, the orthographic projection of each second encapsulation part 610 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the orthographic projection of each first encapsulation part 510 on the substrate 100. For example, the orthographic projection of each second encapsulation part 610 on the substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of each first encapsulation part 510 on the substrate 100 have the same shape and area, so as to minimize the distribution area of the second encapsulation part 610 and increase the spacing between adjacent second encapsulation parts 610 to ensure the independent encapsulation effect, while ensuring that the second encapsulation part 610 has sufficient protection for the first sub-portion 511.
[0120] Optionally, the display panel further includes a light shielding layer, the light shielding layer includes a light shielding portion 420 , and the light shielding portion 420 is located on a side of the isolation structure 200 facing away from the substrate 100 .
[0121] In these embodiments, by providing a shading portion 420 on the isolation structure 200, on the one hand, the gap between adjacent second packaging portions 610 can be filled to ensure the flatness of the film structure; on the other hand, when the isolation structure 200 is made of metal material and has a large reflectivity, the shading portion 420 can block part of the isolation structure 200, thereby reducing the reflectivity of the area where the isolation structure 200 is located and improving the display effect of the display panel in the screen-off state; in addition, the shading portion 420 can also improve the problem of light crosstalk between adjacent filtering units 410.
[0122] Optionally, the material of the light shielding portion 420 includes a light-absorbing insulating material. For example, the material of the light shielding portion 420 includes a black matrix material or the like.
[0123] Optionally, the shading portion 420 is located in the gap between adjacent second packaging portions 610 to improve the flatness of the film layer in the display area of the display panel. The combination of the shading portion 420 and the filtering unit 410 can fill the pit formed by the isolation structure 200 and the gap formed by the first packaging portion 510 and the second packaging portion 610 on the surface of the isolation structure 200.
[0124] Optionally, the shading portion 420 has a third top surface 421 facing away from the substrate 100, the second packaging portion 610 has a fourth top surface 601 facing away from the substrate 100, the third top surface 421 is located on the side of the fourth top surface 601 facing the substrate 100, or the third top surface 421 is flush with the fourth top surface 601.
[0125] In these optional embodiments, the third top surface 421 of the shading portion 420 is not protruding relative to the fourth top surface 601 of the second packaging portion 610, which can further improve the flatness between the third top surface 421 and the fourth top surface 601. In addition, it can also improve the overall thickness of the display panel affected by the excessive thickness of the shading portion 420.
[0126] In some optional embodiments, the light shielding portion 420 includes a first sub-light shielding portion 422 and a second sub-light shielding portion 423, wherein the first sub-light shielding portion 422 is located between adjacent second packaging portions 610, and the second sub-light shielding portion 423 fills the gap between the first packaging portion 510 and the isolation structure 200. This increases the distribution area of the light shielding portion 420 and reduces the size of the pores between the first packaging portion 510 and the isolation structure 200, thereby improving the pores storing air and affecting the packaging performance.
[0127] In some optional embodiments, the display panel also includes a third encapsulation layer 700, which is located on the side of the second encapsulation layer 600 away from the substrate 100. By setting the third encapsulation layer 700, the third encapsulation layer 700 covers the multiple second encapsulation parts 610, which can further improve the encapsulation effect, and the top surface of the third encapsulation layer 700 away from the substrate 100 is smoother than the fourth top surface 601 of the multiple second encapsulation parts 610.
[0128] Optionally, the material of the third encapsulation layer 700 includes organic material, so that the third encapsulation layer has an appropriate thickness, can flatten the surface of the shading portion 420 and the filter unit 410, and improve the flatness of the display panel. Since the filter unit 410 is also an organic material, it has good adhesion to the third encapsulation layer 700, and the surfaces of the shading portion 420 and the filter unit 410 are relatively flat, which effectively improves the phenomenon of the third encapsulation layer 700 and the isolation structure 200 or the first encapsulation layer 500 being bonded and separated.
[0129] Optionally, the display panel further includes a fourth encapsulation layer 800 , and the fourth encapsulation layer 800 is located on a side of the third encapsulation layer 700 away from the substrate 100 , so as to further improve the encapsulation effect.
[0130] Optionally, the material of the fourth encapsulation layer 800 includes an inorganic material, so that the fourth encapsulation layer 800 has good compactness and a thin thickness.
[0131] Optionally, at least two of the first encapsulation layer 500 , the second encapsulation layer 600 and the fourth encapsulation layer 800 are made of the same material, which can simplify the manufacturing process of the display panel.
[0132] In some optional embodiments, the display panel further includes a touch electrode layer 900 , and the touch electrode layer 900 is located on a side of the second encapsulation layer 600 facing away from the substrate 100 .
[0133] First, the touch electrode layer 900 is located on the fourth packaging layer 800 with a higher flatness, which can improve the yield of the touch electrode layer 900. In addition, the adjustment of the position of the filter unit 410 to between the light-emitting unit 330 and the touch electrode layer 900 can increase the distance from the light-emitting unit 330 to the touch electrode layer 900, increase the spacing between the touch electrode layer 900 and the conductive layer in the substrate 100, reduce the parasitic capacitance between the touch electrode layer 900 and the second electrode 120 and the conductive layer in the substrate 100, improve the mutual influence between the touch electrode layer 900 and the conductive layer in the substrate 100, and improve the touch accuracy of the touch electrode layer 900.
[0134] Secondly, the combination of the filter unit 410 and the shading portion 420 eliminates the need to set a polarization structure on the surface of the touch electrode layer 900 away from the substrate 100, thereby reducing the distance between the touch electrode layer 900 and an external touch device such as a hand or a capacitive pen on the display panel, thereby improving the sensing accuracy of the touch electrode layer 900.
[0135] Optionally, the touch electrode layer 900 includes touch electrodes 910 and bridge electrodes 920 , and at least two adjacent touch electrodes 910 may be connected to each other via the bridge electrode 920 .
[0136] There are many ways to dispose the isolation structure 200 . For example, the isolation structure 200 is disposed integrally, and the height difference caused by the isolation structure 200 is used to break the light-emitting material around the isolation structure 200 .
[0137] In some other optional embodiments, the isolation structure 200 includes a first sublayer 201 and a second sublayer 202 stacked in a direction away from the substrate 100 , and the orthographic projection of the first sublayer 201 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the second sublayer 202 on the substrate 100 .
[0138] In these optional embodiments, the size of the first sublayer 201 is smaller than the size of the second sublayer 202, so that a recess can be formed under the second sublayer 202. When the light-emitting material layer falls on the isolation structure 200, the light-emitting material layer can be broken on the peripheral side of the isolation structure 200, thereby forming light-emitting units 330 located in each isolation opening 210 and independent of each other, which can simplify the preparation process of the light-emitting unit 330.
[0139] Optionally, the material of the isolation structure 200 includes a conductive material, a second electrode 120 is disposed between the light emitting unit 330 and the filter unit 410, and the second electrode 120 is electrically connected to the isolation structure 200, so that a plurality of second electrodes 120 can be interconnected through the isolation structure 200 to form a whole-surface electrode.
[0140] Optionally, the display panel further includes a pixel definition layer 300 , the pixel definition layer 300 includes a pixel defining portion 310 and a pixel opening 320 , the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 320 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection range of the isolation opening 210 on the substrate 100 , and the light emitting unit 330 is located at the pixel opening 320 .
[0141] In these optional embodiments, the display panel also includes a pixel definition layer 300, the pixel opening 320 of the pixel definition layer 300 is connected to the isolation opening 210, and the light-emitting unit 330 is located in the pixel opening 320, so that there is enough space in the isolation opening 210 to set the filter unit 410.
[0142] Optionally, the isolation structure 200 is located on a side of the pixel defining portion 310 facing away from the substrate 100 , or a clearance opening is provided on the pixel defining portion 310 , and the isolation structure 200 is located in the clearance opening.
[0143] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application also provides a display panel, including: a substrate 100; an isolation structure 200, which is arranged on the substrate 100 and encloses a plurality of isolation openings 210; a light-emitting layer, including a light-emitting unit 330 located in each isolation opening 210; a first encapsulation layer 500, including a first encapsulation portion 510 located on the side of the light-emitting unit 330 away from the substrate 100, and a filter layer 400, including a filter unit 410 located in the isolation opening 210 and on the side of the first encapsulation portion 510 away from the substrate 100, the filter unit 410 having a first top surface 401 away from the substrate 100, the first encapsulation portion 510 having a second top surface 512a away from the substrate 100, and the maximum distance from the first top surface 401 to the substrate 100 is less than or equal to the maximum distance from the second top surface 512a to the substrate 100.
[0144] In the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application, the display panel includes a substrate 100, an isolation structure 200, a light-emitting layer and a filter layer 400. The isolation structure 200 is used to enclose and form an isolation opening 210, so that the light-emitting unit 330 of the light-emitting layer is located in the isolation opening 210, thereby improving the problem of light interference between light-emitting units 330 of different colors. A filter unit 410 is provided on the light-emitting unit 330, and by providing the filter unit 410 to filter stray light, the light extraction efficiency of the display panel can be improved. In addition, since the filter unit 410 is also located in the isolation opening 210 and is located on the light-emitting unit 330, when the light-emitting units 330 are prepared sequentially using processes such as etching, before preparing the rear light-emitting unit 330, the filter unit 410 can be covered on the front light-emitting unit 330. When the rear light-emitting unit 330 is prepared using the etching process, due to the protection of the filter unit 410, the impact on the front light-emitting unit 330 can be reduced, the yield of the front light-emitting unit 330 can be improved, and the process performance of the display panel can be improved.
[0145] In addition, the maximum distance from the first top surface 401 to the substrate 100 is less than or equal to the maximum distance from the second top surface 512a to the substrate 100, so that the first top surface 401 is retracted toward the substrate 100 relative to the second top surface 512a, which can reduce the height of the filter unit 410 protruding from the isolation structure 200 and improve the flatness of the film layer.
[0146] The arrangement of the substrate 100, the light emitting layer, the isolation structure 200, the first encapsulation layer 500 and the filter layer 400 is as described above and will not be repeated here. The display panels provided in different embodiments of the present application can be referenced to each other.
[0147] like Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the second aspect of the present application further provides a method for preparing a display panel. The display panel can be the display panel provided by any of the embodiments of the first aspect above. Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the preparation method comprises:
[0148] Step S01 : preparing an isolation structure 200 on a substrate 100 , wherein the isolation structure 200 encloses a plurality of isolation openings 210 .
[0149] Step S02 : preparing the light-emitting unit 330 in the isolation opening 210 .
[0150] Step S03 : preparing a filter unit 410 on a side of the light emitting unit 330 facing away from the substrate 100 in the isolation opening 210 .
[0151] Step S04 : preparing a second encapsulation layer 600 on a side of the filter unit 410 facing away from the light emitting unit 330 .
[0152] In the display panel prepared in the embodiment of the present application, the display panel includes a substrate 100, an isolation structure 200, a light-emitting layer and a filter layer 400. The isolation structure 200 is used to enclose and form an isolation opening 210, so that the light-emitting unit 330 of the light-emitting layer is located in the isolation opening 210, thereby improving the problem of light interference between light-emitting units 330 of different colors. A filter unit 410 is provided on the light-emitting unit 330. By providing the filter unit 410 to filter stray light, the light extraction efficiency of the display panel can be improved. The second encapsulation layer 600 can provide encapsulation protection for the filter unit 410. In addition, since the filter unit 410 is also located in the isolation opening 210 and is located on the light-emitting unit 330, when the light-emitting units 330 are prepared sequentially using processes such as etching, before preparing the rear light-emitting unit 330, the filter unit 410 can be covered on the front light-emitting unit 330. When the rear light-emitting unit 330 is prepared using the etching process, due to the protection of the filter unit 410, the impact on the front light-emitting unit 330 can be reduced, the yield of the front light-emitting unit 330 can be improved, and the process performance of the display panel can be improved.
[0153] In some optional embodiments, step S02 may include: preparing a light emitting unit 330 in the isolation opening 210, and preparing a first packaging material layer on a side of the light emitting unit 330 away from the substrate 100, the first packaging material layer covering the isolation structure 200 and the light emitting unit 330. Then in step S03, a filter layer 400 may be prepared on a side of the first packaging material layer away from the substrate 100, the filter layer 400 may be patterned, and a filter unit 410 may be formed in the isolation opening 210.
[0154] In these optional embodiments, before step S03, a first packaging material layer is disposed on the light emitting material layer, and the first packaging material layer can provide packaging protection for the first light emitting material layer, thereby improving the yield of the light emitting unit 330. In step S03, the filter unit 410 falls on the first packaging material layer, and the filter unit 410 is not directly in contact with the light emitting unit 330, thereby reducing the influence of the filter unit 410 on the light emitting unit 330.
[0155] In some optional embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, step S04 also includes:
[0156] Step S041: preparing a second packaging material layer on the side of the filter unit 410 facing away from the substrate 100, and the second packaging material layer is in contact with the first packaging material layer.
[0157] Step S042 : patterning the first encapsulation material layer and the second encapsulation material layer to form a first encapsulation portion 510 and a second encapsulation portion 610 .
[0158] In these optional embodiments, after step S03, a second packaging material layer is formed on the filter unit 410 through step S04, and the second packaging material layer can provide packaging protection for the filter unit 410, thereby improving the yield of the filter unit 410. The contact connection between the first packaging material layer and the second packaging material layer can also improve the sealing effect. After step S04, the first packaging material layer and the second packaging material layer are patterned in the same process step to form the first packaging part 510 and the second packaging part 610, which can improve the manufacturing efficiency and simplify the manufacturing difficulty.
[0159] Optionally, the specific configuration of the first encapsulation part 510 and the second encapsulation part 610 may refer to the display panel provided in the above-mentioned first aspect embodiment.
[0160] As described above, the isolation opening 210 includes the first isolation opening 211, the second isolation opening 212 and the third isolation opening 213, the filter unit 410 includes the first filter unit 411, the second filter unit 412 and the third filter unit 413, the first packaging part 510 includes the first sub-part 513, the second sub-part 514 and the third sub-part 515, and the second packaging part 610 includes the fourth sub-part 611, the fifth sub-part 612 and the sixth sub-part 613. The light-emitting unit 330 includes the first light-emitting unit 331, the second light-emitting unit 332 and the third light-emitting unit 333.
[0161] Optionally, the first light-emitting unit 331, the first sub-unit 513, the first filter unit 411 and the fourth sub-unit 611 are sequentially stacked in the first isolation opening 211 in a direction away from the substrate 100. The second light-emitting unit 332, the second sub-unit 514, the second filter unit 412 and the fifth sub-unit 612 are sequentially stacked in the second isolation opening 212 in a direction away from the substrate 100. The third light-emitting unit 333, the third sub-unit 515, the third filter unit 413 and the sixth sub-unit 613 are sequentially stacked in the third isolation opening 213 in a direction away from the substrate 100. The first light-emitting unit 331, the second light-emitting unit 332 and the third light-emitting unit 333 can be prepared in sequence. For example, the first light-emitting unit 331 and the first sub-unit 513, the first filter unit 411 and the fourth sub-unit 611 can be prepared first.
[0162] like Figure 6 As shown, in step S02, it may include:
[0163] Step S021: Figure 7 As shown, a first light emitting material layer is disposed on one side of the isolation structure 200 and the substrate 100 , and a portion of the first light emitting material layer falls into the first isolation opening 211 to form a first light emitting unit 331 .
[0164] Step S022: Figure 7As shown, a first encapsulation material layer is prepared on a side of the first light-emitting material layer facing away from the substrate 100 .
[0165] like Figure 8 As shown, in step S03, a first filter layer can be prepared on the side of the first packaging material layer away from the substrate 100, and the first filter material layer can be patterned to form a first filter unit 411 located on the first light emitting unit 331. Fig.10 As shown, in step S04, a second packaging material layer is prepared on the side of the first filter unit 411 facing away from the substrate 100, and the second packaging material layer is in contact with the first packaging material layer.
[0166] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, step S042 may include patterning the first encapsulation material layer and the second encapsulation material layer to form a first sub-portion 513 and a fourth sub-portion 611 located on the side of the first light-emitting unit 331 away from the substrate 100, and removing the first light-emitting material layer not covered by the first sub-portion 513 and the fourth sub-portion 611.
[0167] In these optional embodiments, the patterning of the first light-emitting material layer, the first encapsulation material layer, and the second encapsulation material layer is performed in the same process step, which can improve the manufacturing efficiency.
[0168] Optionally, the display panel may further include a second electrode layer. Before step S032, an electrode material layer may be set on the first light-emitting material layer. In step S032, a second packaging material layer falls on the electrode material layer. In step S042, a second electrode 120 may be formed on the side of the second light-emitting unit 332 away from the substrate 100.
[0169] In the application embodiment, since the first light-emitting unit 331 is covered with the first packaging material layer, the first filter unit 411 and the second packaging material layer, the first light-emitting unit 331 is well sealed and protected. Therefore, in step S042, the etching force can be appropriately increased to better remove the first light-emitting material layer, the first packaging material layer and the second packaging material layer in the second isolation opening 212 and the third isolation opening 213.
[0170] After the first light-emitting unit 331 is prepared, the second light-emitting unit 332 may be prepared in sequence, for example, Fig.12 As shown, after step S042, the following steps are also included:
[0171] Step S06 : a second light emitting material layer is disposed on one side of the isolation structure 200 and the substrate 100 , and a portion of the second light emitting material layer falls into the second isolation opening 212 to form a second light emitting unit 332 .
[0172] Step S07 : disposing a third encapsulation material layer on the side of the second light-emitting material layer facing away from the substrate 100 .
[0173] Step S08 : disposing a second filter unit 412 on a side of the third packaging material layer facing away from the substrate 100 , wherein the second filter unit 412 is located in the second isolation opening 212 .
[0174] Step S09 : a fourth packaging material layer is disposed on the side of the second filter unit 412 facing away from the substrate 100 , and the fourth packaging material layer is in contact with and connected to the third packaging material layer on the side of the isolation structure 200 facing away from the substrate 100 .
[0175] Step S010: Fig.15 As shown, the third encapsulation material layer, the fourth encapsulation material layer and the second light-emitting material layer are patterned to form a second sub-portion 514 and a fifth sub-portion 612 located on the side of the second light-emitting unit 332 away from the substrate 100, and the second light-emitting material layer not covered by the second sub-portion 514 and the fifth sub-portion 612 is removed.
[0176] In the embodiment of the present application, since the fourth sub-section 611, the first sub-section 513, and the first filter unit 411 can provide better protection for the first light-emitting unit 331, and the fourth sub-section 611 and the first filter unit 411 can fill the first isolation opening 211, reducing the step difference of the isolation structure 200, the second electrode layer and the second light-emitting material layer can be well formed on the surface of the fourth sub-section 611, effectively avoiding the influence of the etching process of the second light-emitting unit 332 on the first filter unit 411. Therefore, in step S010, when the second light-emitting material layer, the third packaging material layer, and the fourth packaging material layer in the area where the first isolation opening 211 is located are removed, the influence of the etching process on the first light-emitting unit 331 can be improved, and the yield of the first light-emitting unit 331 can be improved.
[0177] As described above, when the display panel includes a second electrode layer, a conductive material layer may be provided on the second light emitting material layer before step S07 . In step S010 , the conductive material layer may be patterned to form a second electrode 120 on the second light emitting unit 332 .
[0178] like Fig.13 As shown, after step S010, the following steps may also be included:
[0179] Step S011 : a third light emitting material layer is disposed on one side of the isolation structure 200 and the substrate 100 , and a portion of the third light emitting material layer falls into the third isolation opening 213 to form a third light emitting unit 333 .
[0180] Step S012 : disposing a fifth encapsulation material layer on a side of the third light emitting material layer facing away from the substrate 100 .
[0181] Step S013 : a third light filtering unit 413 is disposed on a side of the third packaging material layer facing away from the substrate 100 , and the third light filtering unit 413 is located at the third exit.
[0182] Step S014 : a sixth packaging material layer is disposed on the side of the third filter unit 413 facing away from the substrate 100 , and the sixth packaging material layer is in contact with and connected to the fourth packaging material layer on the side of the isolation structure 200 facing away from the substrate 100 .
[0183] Step S015: Fig.14 As shown, the fourth encapsulation material layer, the sixth encapsulation material layer and the third light-emitting material layer are patterned to form a third sub-portion 515 and a sixth sub-portion 613 located on the side of the third light-emitting unit 333 away from the substrate 100, and the third light-emitting material layer not covered by the third sub-portion 515 and the sixth sub-portion 613 is removed.
[0184] In the embodiment of the present application, since the fourth sub-section 611, the first sub-section 513, and the first filter unit 411 can provide better protection for the first light-emitting unit 331, the fifth sub-section 612, the second filter unit 412, and the second sub-section 514 can provide better protection for the second light-emitting unit 332. Therefore, in step S015, when the third light-emitting material layer, the fifth packaging material layer, and the sixth packaging material layer in the area where the first isolation opening 211 and the second isolation opening 212 are located are removed, the influence of the etching process on the first light-emitting unit 331 and the second light-emitting unit 332 can be improved, and the yield of the first light-emitting unit 331 and the second light-emitting unit 332 can be improved.

In step S015 , the conductive material layer may be patterned to form a second electrode 120 on the third light emitting unit 333 .
