It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0069] The directional words appearing in the following description are all directions shown in the figures, and do not limit the specific structure of the embodiments of the present application. In the description of the present application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0070] like Figure 1a , Figure 1b and Figure 1c As shown, a display panel provided in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application includes: a substrate 100 , an isolation structure 200 and a light-emitting unit 300 .

[0071] The isolation structure 200 is arranged on one side of the substrate 100, and the isolation structure 200 encloses an isolation opening 210; the light-emitting unit 300 includes a light-emitting functional layer 310 at least partially arranged in the isolation opening 210 and a first electrode 320 located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 310 away from the substrate 100, and the first electrode 320 includes a middle portion 321 and an edge portion 322 connected to the peripheral side of the middle portion 321; wherein the edge portion 322 is in contact with the isolation structure 200, and the edge portion 322 is extended in a direction away from the substrate 100, and the edge portion 322 includes a first segment 322a and a second segment 322b distributed on the peripheral side of the middle portion 321, and along the direction away from the substrate 100, the distance A between the end of the first segment 322a away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310 is greater than the distance a between the end of the second segment 322b away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310.

[0072] The first electrode 320 is arranged on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 310 away from the substrate 100. The first electrode 320 can protect the light-emitting functional layer 310 and at least part of the sidewall 201 of the isolation structure 200, and has the function of an etching barrier layer. In the process of manufacturing the subsequent light-emitting unit 300, over-etching can be prevented from causing pixel damage. By increasing the length of at least part of the edge portion 322 (for example, the first segment 322a), the protection area of ​​the edge portion 322 having the function of an etching barrier layer can be increased, and in the subsequent etching process, over-etching can be prevented from causing pixel damage. The edge portion 322 of the first electrode 320 is in contact with the isolation structure 200 and can transmit electrical signals. By increasing the length of at least part of the edge portion 322 (for example, the first segment 322a), the effective overlap area of ​​the first electrode 320 and the isolation structure 200 can be increased, and the overlap resistance can be reduced, thereby achieving an improved display effect.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first electrode 320 is arranged on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 310 away from the substrate 100, and the first electrode 320 can protect the light-emitting functional layer 310. The edge portion 322 is in contact with the isolation structure 200 so that electrical signals can be transmitted between the edge portion 322 and the isolation structure 200. The distance between the end of the first segment 322a away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310 is greater than the distance between the end of the second segment 322b away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310, thereby increasing the length of the first segment 322a in the direction away from the substrate 100. In the subsequent etching process, the probability of the first segment 322a being damaged by etching can be reduced, and the risk of both the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b being damaged by etching, thereby reducing the risk of disconnection between the first electrode 320 and the isolation structure 200 or excessive lap impedance, thereby improving the performance of the display panel.

[0074] like Figure 1b As shown, the distance between the end of the first segment 322a facing away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310 is A, and the distance between the end of the second segment 322b facing away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310 is a.

[0075] like Figure 1a As shown, in some optional embodiments, the isolation structure 200 has a sidewall 201 facing the isolation opening 210 , and the thickness of the first segment 322 a along the direction away from the sidewall 201 is equal to the thickness of the second segment 322 b along the direction away from the sidewall 201 .

[0076] In these optional embodiments, the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b are formed by extending from the circumferential side of the middle portion 321 in a direction away from the substrate 100, so that the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b have the same film thickness, that is, the thickness of the first segment 322a in a direction away from the side wall 201 is equal to the thickness of the second segment 322b in a direction away from the side wall 201. The first segment 322a and the second segment 322b can be formed by evaporation of the material of the first electrode 320, and the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b formed after evaporation have the same thickness, which is conducive to simplifying the process.

[0077] In other optional embodiments, the absolute value of the thickness difference between the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b in the direction away from the side wall 201 is less than or equal to 5 nanometers, and the thickness error between the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b in the direction away from the side wall 201 is within 5 nanometers, that is, approximately equal.

[0078] In some other optional embodiments, the thickness of the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b in the direction away from the sidewall 201 is less than the thickness of the middle portion 321 in the thickness direction N of the substrate 100. The middle portion 321 is at the bottom of the isolation opening 210 and thus has a thicker thickness, while the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b are at least partially located on the sidewall 201 of the isolation structure 200, so that the thickness of the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b in the direction away from the sidewall 201 is less than the thickness of the middle portion 321 in the thickness direction N of the substrate 100.

[0079] like Figure 1a As shown, in some optional embodiments, the isolation structure 200 includes a conductive material, and the first segment 322 a and the second segment 322 b are electrically connected to the isolation structure 200 .

[0080] In these optional embodiments, the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b are electrically connected to the isolation structure 200, and the first electrodes 320 of the light-emitting units 300 in the plurality of isolation openings 210 can be electrically connected through the isolation structure 200, that is, the electrical signal is conducted. Optionally, the first electrode 320 can be a cathode.

In the subsequent etching process, the first electrode 320 will be partially etched to shorten the edge portion 322, thereby increasing the contact resistance between the first electrode 320 and the isolation structure 200, affecting the display effect. The contact length of the first segment 322a with the isolation structure 200 is set to be longer, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the first electrode 320 and the isolation structure 200 and improving the display effect; on the other hand, the probability of the first segment 322a being damaged by etching can be reduced, ensuring that the first electrode 320 is in contact and electrically connected with the isolation structure 200, while protecting the light-emitting functional layer 310 and reducing the probability of damage to the light-emitting functional layer 310.

[0082] In some optional embodiments, along the thickness direction N of the substrate 100 , the distance between the end of the second segment 322b facing away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310 is 50% to 70% of the distance between the end of the first segment 322a facing away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310 .

During the preparation process of the light-emitting functional layer 310 and the first electrode 320, the materials of the light-emitting functional layer 310 and the first electrode 320 can be separated into independent light-emitting units 300 by the isolation structure 200, and the precision mask evaporation process can be omitted, thereby reducing the preparation cost.

[0121] like Figure 9a and Figure 9b As shown, the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application further provides a display panel, comprising: a substrate 100, an isolation structure 200 and a light-emitting unit 300, wherein the isolation structure 200 is arranged on one side of the substrate 100, and the isolation structure 200 surrounds and forms an isolation opening 210; the light-emitting unit 300 comprises a light-emitting functional layer 310 arranged at the isolation opening 210 and a first electrode 320 located on a side of the light-emitting functional layer 310 away from the substrate 100, and the first electrode 320 comprises a middle portion 321 and an edge portion 322 connected to the peripheral side of the middle portion 321 , wherein at least a portion of the edge portion 322 is arranged on the side wall 201 of the isolation structure 200 facing the isolation opening 210, and the edge portion 322 is extended in a direction away from the substrate 100, and the edge portion 322 includes a first segment 322a and a second segment 322b distributed on the peripheral side of the middle portion 321, and along the thickness direction N of the substrate 100, the spacing B between the end of the first segment 322a away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100 is greater than the spacing b between the end of the second segment 322b away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100.

Figure 9b "b" represents the distance between the end of the second segment 322b away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100. The first segment 322a has a better ability to resist etching damage, reducing the risk of both the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b being etched and damaged, resulting in a disconnection between the first electrode 320 and the isolation structure 200 or excessive lap impedance, thereby improving the performance of the display panel.

[0126] In some embodiments, the first electrode 320 will be partially etched to shorten the edge portion 322, thereby increasing the contact resistance between the first electrode 320 and the isolation structure 200, affecting the display effect. In this embodiment, the contact length between the first segment 322a and the isolation structure 200 is set to be longer, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the first electrode 320 and the isolation structure 200 and improving the display effect; on the other hand, the probability of the first segment 322a being damaged by etching can be reduced, ensuring that the first electrode 320 is in electrical contact with the isolation structure 200, and at the same time protecting the light-emitting functional layer 310 and reducing the probability of damage to the light-emitting functional layer 310.

Since the display device provided by the embodiment of the second aspect of the present application includes the display panel of any of the above-mentioned embodiments of the first aspect, the display device provided by the embodiment of the second aspect of the present application has the beneficial effects of the display panel of any of the above-mentioned embodiments of the first aspect, which will not be repeated here.

[0135] The display device in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablet computers, e-books, televisions, access control systems, smart landline phones, consoles, and other devices with display functions.

[0136] The third aspect of the present application also provides a method for manufacturing a display panel, which can be used to prepare the display panel in the above embodiment. Fig.11 As shown, the manufacturing method may include the following steps:

[0137] Step S01: Fig.12 As shown, an isolation structure 200 is formed on a substrate 100 , and the isolation structure 200 surrounds an isolation opening 210 .

[0138] Step S02: Figure 1a , Figure 1b , Figure 9a ,and Figure 9bAs shown, a light-emitting functional layer 310 and a first electrode 320 of a light-emitting unit 300 are formed in the isolation opening 210, and the first electrode 320 includes a middle portion 321 and an edge portion 322 connected to the peripheral side of the middle portion 321, wherein the edge portion 322 is in contact with the isolation structure 200, and the edge portion 322 is extended in a direction away from the substrate 100, and the edge portion 322 includes a first segment 322a and a second segment 322b distributed on the peripheral side of the middle portion 321, and along the direction away from the substrate 100, an end of the first segment 322a away from the substrate 100 is connected to the light-emitting unit 300. The spacing between the edges of the optical functional layer 310 is greater than the spacing between the end of the second segment 322b facing away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310, and / or, the spacing between the end of the first segment 322a facing away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100 is greater than the spacing between the end of the second segment 322b facing away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100, and / or, the contact length of the first segment 322a along the direction away from the substrate 100 with the isolation structure 200 is greater than the contact length of the second segment 322b along the direction away from the substrate 100 with the isolation structure 200.

[0139] In this embodiment, the light-emitting functional layer 310 is evaporated on the substrate 100 with the isolation structure 200, and the material of the light-emitting functional layer 310 is formed in the isolation opening 210. The first electrode 320 is obliquely evaporated on the substrate 100 with the isolation structure 200, and the material of the first electrode 320 is formed in the isolation opening 210 and overlaps with the isolation structure 200. Due to the oblique evaporation of the material of the first electrode 320, the first electrode 320 extends along the direction away from the substrate 100 at different lengths on the isolation structure 200 to form a first segment 322a and a second segment 322b, and the extension length of the first segment 322a is greater than the extension length of the second segment 322b. The first electrode 320 is arranged on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 310 away from the substrate 100, and the first electrode 320 can protect the light-emitting functional layer 310. The edge portion 322 is in contact with the isolation structure 200 to improve the protection effect of the first electrode 320 on the light-emitting functional layer 310, and electrical signals can be transmitted between the edge portion 322 and the isolation structure 200. The edge portion 322 extends in a direction away from the substrate 100 , thereby increasing the length of the edge portion 322 in the direction away from the substrate 100 , and in a subsequent etching process, the probability of the edge portion 322 being damaged by etching can be reduced. The spacing between one end of the first segment 322a away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310 is greater than the spacing between one end of the second segment 322b away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310, and / or, the spacing between one end of the first segment 322a away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100 is greater than the spacing between one end of the second segment 322b away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100, and / or, the contact length of the first segment 322a with the isolation structure 200 along the direction away from the substrate 100 is greater than the contact length of the second segment 322b with the isolation structure 200 along the direction away from the substrate 100, so that the first segment 322a has better resistance to etching damage, reduces the risk of both the first segment 322a and the second segment 322b being etched and damaged and thus disconnected from the isolation structure 200, thereby improving the performance of the display panel.

[0140] In some optional embodiments, the step of forming the first electrode 320 in the isolation opening 210 includes:

In these optional embodiments, by adjusting the central axis H of the nozzle of the evaporation source 700 and the thickness direction N of the substrate 100 to intersect, thereby forming inclined evaporation, by adjusting the inclination angle of the evaporation source 700, that is, adjusting the angle M between the central axis H of the nozzle and the thickness direction N of the substrate 100, that is, adjusting the evaporation angle, the height of the end of the first segment 322a away from the substrate 100 can be adjusted to form a spacing between the end of the first segment 322a away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310 greater than The distance between one end of the second segment 322b facing away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310, and / or, the distance between one end of the first segment 322a facing away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100 is greater than the distance between one end of the second segment 322b facing away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100, and / or, the contact length of the first segment 322a along the direction away from the substrate 100 with the isolation structure 200 is greater than the contact length of the second segment 322b along the direction away from the substrate 100 with the isolation structure 200.

[0143] The light-emitting functional layer 310 and the first electrode 320 (or the first packaging part) and other related film layers corresponding to the target light-emitting unit are formed in each isolation opening 210, and then the light-emitting functional layer 310 and the first electrode 320 (or the first packaging part) and other related film layers corresponding to the target light-emitting unit in each isolation opening other than the target isolation opening are removed. For example, the light-emitting functional layer 310 and the first electrode 320 and the first packaging part 610 and other related film layers corresponding to the first light-emitting unit are formed in each isolation opening 210, and the light-emitting functional layer 310 and the first electrode 320 and the first packaging part 610 and other related film layers corresponding to the first light-emitting unit located in the second isolation opening 212 and the third isolation opening 213 are removed (for example, by etching), so as to form a first light-emitting unit located in the first isolation opening 211, for example, a red light-emitting unit. The light-emitting functional layer 310, the first electrode 320, the first packaging part 610 and other related film layers corresponding to the second light-emitting unit are formed again in each isolation opening 210, and the light-emitting functional layer 310, the first electrode 320, the first packaging part 610 and other related film layers corresponding to the second light-emitting unit located on the side of the first light-emitting unit (for example, the red light-emitting unit) away from the substrate 100 are removed (for example, by etching), and the light-emitting functional layer 310, the first electrode 320, the first packaging part 610 and other related film layers corresponding to the second light-emitting unit of the third isolation opening 213 are removed to form a second light-emitting unit located at the second isolation opening 212, for example, a green light-emitting unit. A light-emitting functional layer 310, a first electrode 320, a first packaging portion 610 and other related film layers corresponding to the third light-emitting unit are formed in each isolation opening 210, and the light-emitting functional layer 310, the first electrode 320, the first packaging portion 610 and other related film layers corresponding to the third light-emitting unit located on the side of the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit (for example, a red light-emitting unit and a green light-emitting unit) away from the substrate 100 are removed (for example, by etching) to form a third light-emitting unit, for example, a blue light-emitting unit, located in the third isolation opening 213.

[0147] In these optional embodiments, the central axis H of the nozzle of the evaporation source 700 is adjusted to intersect with the thickness direction N of the substrate 100, thereby forming inclined evaporation, and the evaporation angles M of the two evaporations are different. The central axis H of the nozzle corresponding to the first evaporation angle is inclined toward the side close to the first segment 322a, that is, the central axis H of the corresponding nozzle is located on the side close to the first segment 322a in the thickness direction N of the substrate 100. The central axis H of the nozzle corresponding to the second evaporation angle is inclined toward the side close to the second segment 322b, that is, the central axis H of the corresponding nozzle is located on the side close to the second segment 322b in the thickness direction N of the substrate 100. The first evaporation angle is greater than the second evaporation angle, so as to form a spacing between an end of the first segment 322a facing away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310 that is greater than the spacing between an end of the second segment 322b facing away from the substrate 100 and the edge of the light-emitting functional layer 310, and / or, the spacing between an end of the first segment 322a facing away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100 is greater than the spacing between an end of the second segment 322b facing away from the substrate 100 and the substrate 100, and / or, the contact length of the first segment 322a along the direction away from the substrate 100 with the isolation structure 200 is greater than the contact length of the second segment 322b along the direction away from the substrate 100 with the isolation structure 200.
