[0118] The display panel also includes a driving circuit (not shown) disposed on the substrate 10. The driving circuit can be electrically connected to the lower electrode (eg, anode) and the upper electrode (eg, cathode) of the light-emitting unit to enable the light-emitting layer to emit light.

[0119] Exemplarily, there are multiple light-emitting units, and the multiple light-emitting units include a first light-emitting unit 40, a second light-emitting unit 50, and a third light-emitting unit 60. That is, some of the light-emitting units in the multiple light-emitting units are the first light-emitting units 40, and some of the light-emitting units are the second light-emitting units 50, and the remaining light-emitting units are the third light-emitting units 60. Among them, the first light-emitting unit 40 includes a first lower electrode 43, a first light-emitting layer 41, and a first upper electrode 42 stacked in sequence in a direction away from the substrate 10, the second light-emitting unit 50 includes a second lower electrode 53, a second light-emitting layer 51, and a second upper electrode 52 stacked in sequence in a direction away from the substrate 10, and the third light-emitting unit 60 includes a third lower electrode 63, a third light-emitting layer 61, and a third upper electrode 62 stacked in sequence in a direction away from the substrate 10.

[0121] Exemplarily, the first light-emitting layer 41 can emit red light, that is, the first light-emitting layer 41 corresponds to R pixels, the second light-emitting layer 51 can emit green light, that is, the second light-emitting layer 51 corresponds to G pixels, and the third light-emitting layer 61 can emit blue light, that is, the third light-emitting layer 61 corresponds to B pixels.

[0122] Exemplarily, the plurality of isolation openings include a first isolation opening 301 , a second isolation opening 302 and a third isolation opening 303 . That is, some of the plurality of isolation openings are first isolation openings 301 , some are second isolation openings 302 , and the rest are third isolation openings 303 .

[0123] Among them, part of the first light-emitting unit 40 is located in the corresponding first isolation opening 301, that is, the part of the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting unit 40 on the substrate 10 is located in the orthographic projection of the corresponding first isolation opening 301 on the substrate 10; part of the second light-emitting unit 50 is located in the corresponding second isolation opening 302, that is, the part of the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting unit 50 on the substrate 10 is located in the orthographic projection of the corresponding second isolation opening 302 on the substrate 10; part of the third light-emitting unit 60 is located in the corresponding third isolation opening 303, that is, the part of the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting unit 60 on the substrate 10 is located in the orthographic projection of the corresponding third isolation opening 303 on the substrate 10.

[0124] The display panel further includes a first encapsulation layer 70, which is disposed on a side of the display function layer away from the substrate 10. The first encapsulation layer 70 includes a first encapsulation portion 71, a second encapsulation portion 72, and a third encapsulation portion 73, wherein the first encapsulation portion 71 covers the first light emitting unit 40, the second encapsulation portion 72 covers the second light emitting unit 50, and the third encapsulation portion 73 covers the third light emitting unit.

[0125] In some embodiments, when processing the display panel, the first light emitting unit 40, the second light emitting unit 50 and the third light emitting unit 60 are processed and formed in sequence, and the first packaging part 71, the second packaging part 72 and the third packaging part 73 are also processed and formed in sequence.

[0126] Of course, in other embodiments, when processing the display panel, the third light emitting unit 60, the second light emitting unit 50 and the first light emitting unit 40 are processed and formed in sequence. The third packaging part 73, the second packaging part 72 and the first packaging part 71 are also processed and formed in sequence.

[0127] The following describes the processing of display panels in some embodiments.

[0128] Please also read Figure 4 and Figure 5, a first light-emitting material and a cathode material are evaporated on a substrate 10 having an isolation structure 30, and then a packaging material is chemically vapor deposited (CVD), and then the substrate 10 is etched to remove the first light-emitting material and the cathode material outside the first isolation opening, and to remove the packaging material outside the first packaging area, to obtain a first light-emitting unit 40 and a portion of the first packaging layer 70 that encapsulates the first light-emitting unit 40 (a first packaging portion 71).

[0129] Please also read Figure 6 and Figure 7 , evaporate a second light-emitting material, a cathode material and a packaging material on the substrate 10, and then etch the substrate 10 to remove the second light-emitting material and the cathode material outside the second opening, and remove the packaging material outside the second packaging area, to obtain a second light-emitting unit 50 and a portion of the first packaging layer 70 that encapsulates the second light-emitting unit 50 (a second packaging portion 72).

[0130] Please also read Figure 3 and Figure 8 , vapor-deposit a third light-emitting material, a cathode material and a packaging material on the substrate 10, and then etch the substrate 10 to remove the third light-emitting material and the cathode material outside the third opening, and remove the packaging material outside the third packaging area, to obtain a third light-emitting unit 60 and a portion of the first packaging layer 70 that encapsulates the third light-emitting unit 60 (third packaging portion 73).

[0131] See also Fig. 9 , inkjet printing (Ink Jet Print DAM, IJP) is performed on the substrate 10 to obtain a second encapsulation layer 80, so that the second encapsulation layer 80 covers the first encapsulation layer 70 and fills the recessed portion. Then, a packaging material is chemically vapor deposited (Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD) on the side of the second encapsulation layer 80 away from the substrate 10 to obtain a third encapsulation layer 90, so that the third encapsulation layer 90 covers the second encapsulation layer 80. It can be understood that the materials of the first encapsulation layer 70 and the third encapsulation layer 90 may include inorganic materials, and the material of the second encapsulation layer 80 may include organic materials.

[0132] The inventor found that in the related art, please refer to Figures 3 to 9 When both ends of the upper electrode overlap with the isolation structure 30, in other words, when one edge of the upper electrode overlaps with the isolation structure 30, the upper electrode is subjected to bilateral evaporation, and the overlap effect between the upper electrode and the isolation structure 30 is poor.

[0133] In order to improve the overlap effect, the inventor found that Fig.10 and Fig.11When preparing the upper electrode, a single-sided evaporation method can be used, that is, single-sided evaporation is used, and the evaporation time is extended or the number of evaporation times is increased. The total evaporation time of the upper electrode is almost unchanged, but the overlap effect between the upper electrode and the isolation structure 30 can be improved. It can be understood that compared with single-sided evaporation, double-sided evaporation is that the evaporation device 200 evaporates twice in two opposite directions.

[0134] However, please also refer to Fig.12 and Fig.13 After single-sided evaporation, one end of the upper electrode is overlapped with the isolation structure 30, and the other end is spaced from the isolation structure 30, exposing the pixel definition layer 20. When preparing a light-emitting unit in an isolation opening, it is necessary to remove the upper electrode and the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting unit in other isolation openings (for example, by an etching process), which can easily damage the exposed pixel definition layer 20, and then easily generate holes 21 in the exposed pixel definition layer 20, and even damage the lower electrode, affecting reliability and light-emitting effect.

[0135] For example, when preparing the first light-emitting unit 40, the first light-emitting layer 41 and the upper electrode of the first light-emitting unit 40 in the second isolation opening 302 and the third isolation opening 303 need to be removed, which may easily cause damage to the pixel definition layer 20 in the second isolation opening 302 and the third isolation opening 303.

[0136] For example, when preparing the second light-emitting unit 50, it is necessary to remove the second light-emitting layer 51 and the upper electrode of the second light-emitting unit 50 in the first isolation opening 301 and the third isolation opening 303. At this time, the first light-emitting unit 40 and the first packaging part 71 are already in the first isolation opening 301, which may easily cause damage to the portion of the pixel definition layer 20 in the third isolation opening 303.

[0137] For example, when preparing the third light-emitting unit 60, it is necessary to remove the third light-emitting layer 61 and the upper electrode of the third light-emitting unit 60 in the first isolation opening 301 and the second isolation opening 302. At this time, the first isolation opening 301 already has the first light-emitting unit 40 and the first packaging part 71, and the second isolation opening 302 already has the second light-emitting unit 50 and the second packaging part 72, and the pixel definition layer 20 in the first isolation opening 301 and the second isolation opening 302 will not be damaged.

[0138] It is understandable that when preparing the display function layer, the isolation structure 30 plays the role of a mask. Of course, in some embodiments, the display panel 100 can also directly use a mask to prepare the display function layer.

[0139] Therefore, when the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application is subjected to single-side evaporation when preparing the light-emitting unit, the portion of the pixel definition layer 20 in the third isolation opening 303 is damaged twice, and the hole 21 is easily generated.

[0140] To solve the above technical problems, please refer to Fig.14 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 , a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application is now further described.

[0141] In the display panel of the embodiment of the present application, the first light emitting layer 41 includes a first end 411 and a second end 412 opposite to the first end 411 in the first direction, and the second light emitting layer 51 includes a third end 511 and a fourth end 512 opposite to the third end 511 in the first direction. The thickness of the first upper electrode 42 located above the first end 411 and the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 located above the second end 412 have a first difference, the thickness of the second upper electrode 52 located above the third end 511 and the thickness of the second upper electrode 52 located above the fourth end 512 have a second difference, and the absolute value of the first difference is not less than the absolute value of the second difference.

[0142] Optionally, the first direction is parallel to the substrate. Optionally, the first direction is parallel to the evaporation direction of the evaporation device 200. It is understandable that the evaporation direction of the evaporation device 200 can be the direction in which the evaporation device 200 or the display panel 100 moves when the display panel 100 evaporates the display function layer.

[0143] Optionally, the first difference is not equal to 0. Optionally, the first difference is less than the maximum thickness of the first upper electrode 42 .

[0144] In this way, the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 of the first light-emitting unit 40 at two relatively opposite ends in the first direction may be inconsistent, that is, the thickness of one end of the first upper electrode 42 of the first light-emitting unit 40 in the first direction may be greater than 0 but less than the thickness of the other end. The one end of the first upper electrode 42 in the first direction can protect the film layer below to a certain extent, which is conducive to improving reliability.

[0145] It is understandable that when the first light-emitting unit 40 is double-sided evaporated, the thickness of the first light-emitting unit 40 can be changed along the first direction. For example, the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 above the first end 411 of the first light-emitting layer 41 can be greater than the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 above the second end 412, and the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 above the second end 412 is greater than 0.

[0146] Similarly, the thickness of the first upper electrode 52 of the second light-emitting unit 50 at two opposite ends in the first direction may be inconsistent, that is, the thickness of one end of the second upper electrode 52 of the second light-emitting unit 50 in the first direction may be greater than 0 but less than the thickness of the other end. The one end of the second upper electrode 52 in the first direction can protect the film layer below to a certain extent, which is conducive to improving reliability.

[0147] Therefore, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application can improve the performance / process performance of the display device.

[0148] In some embodiments, the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a pixel definition layer 20 and an isolation structure 30. That is, the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application can use the isolation structure 30 to function as a mask.

[0149] As described above, the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 above the first end 411 of the first light-emitting layer 41 may be greater than the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 above the second end 412, and the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 above the second end 412 is greater than 0. The overlapping effect between the first upper electrode 42 above the first end 411 of the first light-emitting layer 41 and the isolation structure 30 may be improved, and the second end 412 may not expose the pixel definition layer 20.

[0150] Of course, in some embodiments, the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 above the second end portion 412 of the first light emitting layer 41 may be equal to 0, that is, the second end portion 412 may expose the pixel definition layer 20 .

[0151] Optionally, the pixel definition layer 20 is disposed on one side of the substrate 10, the pixel definition layer 20 includes a first pixel opening and a second pixel opening, the isolation structure 30 is disposed on the side of the pixel definition layer 20 away from the substrate 10, the first isolation opening 301 is connected to the first pixel opening, and the second isolation opening 302 is connected to the second pixel opening. The pixel definition layer 20 located on the side around the first light-emitting unit 40 has a first minimum thickness, and the pixel definition layer 20 located on the side around the second light-emitting unit 50 has a second minimum thickness, and the first minimum thickness is not greater than the second minimum thickness.

[0152] It is understandable that the first light-emitting unit 40 can be prepared after the second light-emitting unit 50. In the case where the second light-emitting unit 50 can protect the pixel definition layer 20, although the first upper electrode 42 above the second end 412 of the first light-emitting layer 41 has a weaker protective effect on the pixel definition layer 20, the pixel definition layer 20 located around the first light-emitting unit 40 will not be damaged by the etching process of preparing the second light-emitting unit 50.

[0153] In addition, when the second end portion 412 has a relatively small thickness and does not expose the pixel definition layer 20 , the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can also protect the pixel definition layer 20 to a certain extent, which is beneficial to improving reliability.

[0154] In some embodiments, the plurality of light-emitting units further include a third light-emitting unit 60, the pixel definition layer 20 further includes a third pixel opening, the pixel definition layer 20 located around the third light-emitting unit 60 has a third minimum thickness, and the first minimum thickness is not greater than the third minimum thickness.

[0155] It is understandable that the first light-emitting unit 40 can be prepared after the third light-emitting unit 60. In the case where the third light-emitting unit 60 can protect the pixel definition layer 20, although the first upper electrode 42 above the second end 412 of the first light-emitting layer 41 has a weaker protective effect on the pixel definition layer 20, the pixel definition layer 20 located around the first light-emitting unit 40 will not be damaged by the etching process of preparing the third light-emitting unit 60.

[0156] It is understandable that the first light-emitting unit 40 is prepared last, and will not damage the pixel definition layer 20 around the second light-emitting unit 50 and the third light-emitting unit 60. In addition, when the first light-emitting unit 40, the second light-emitting unit 50 and the third light-emitting unit 60 are prepared, they will not damage the pixel definition layer 20 around themselves.

[0157] See also Fig.14 In some embodiments, the first minimum thickness, the second minimum thickness, and the third minimum thickness are equal. It is understandable that the pixel definition layer 20 around the first light-emitting unit 40, the pixel definition layer 20 around the second light-emitting unit 50, and the pixel definition layer 20 around the third light-emitting unit 60 are damaged to the same extent, so the first minimum thickness, the second minimum thickness, and the third minimum thickness can be equal.

[0158] Optionally, the absolute value of the first difference is greater than the absolute value of the second difference.

[0159] Optionally, the third light-emitting unit 60 includes a third light-emitting layer 61 and a third upper electrode 62 which are stacked in sequence along a direction away from the substrate 10, the third light-emitting layer 61 includes a fifth end 611 and a sixth end 612 opposite to the fifth end 611 in the first direction, and the thickness of the third upper electrode 62 located above the fifth end 611 and the thickness of the third upper electrode 62 located above the sixth end 612 have a third difference, wherein the absolute value of the first difference is greater than the absolute value of the third difference.

[0160] It is understandable that the first light-emitting unit 40 can be prepared after the second light-emitting unit 50 and the third light-emitting unit 60. When the third light-emitting unit 60 is prepared, the third upper electrode 62 of the third light-emitting unit 60 can protect the pixel definition layer 20 around the first light-emitting unit 40 and the second light-emitting unit 50, and the pixel definition layer 20 around the first light-emitting unit 40 and the second light-emitting unit 50 is not damaged. When the second light-emitting unit 50 is prepared, the second upper electrode 52 of the second light-emitting unit 50 can protect the pixel definition layer 20 around the first light-emitting unit 40, and the pixel definition layer 20 around the first light-emitting unit 40 is not damaged. Therefore, the pixel definition layer 20 around the first light-emitting unit 40, the second light-emitting unit 50 and the third light-emitting unit 60 is not damaged, and the first minimum thickness, the second minimum thickness and the third minimum thickness are equal.

[0161] Optionally, the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 located above the first end 411 is greater than the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 located above the second end 412, wherein the first upper electrode 42 located above the first end 411 overlaps the isolation structure 30, and the first upper electrode 42 located above the second end 412 is spaced apart from the isolation structure 30.

[0162] Optionally, the second upper electrode 52 located above the third end 511 and the second upper electrode 52 located above the fourth end 512 are both overlapped with the isolation structure 30 .

[0163] Optionally, the third upper electrode 62 located above the fifth end 611 and the third upper electrode 62 located above the sixth end 612 are both overlapped with the isolation structure 30 .

[0164] Optionally, the second light-emitting unit 50 and the third light-emitting unit 60 may both be deposited by double-sided evaporation, and the first light-emitting unit 40 may be deposited by single-sided evaporation.

[0165] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting layer 41 on the substrate 10 is located outside the orthographic projection of the first upper electrode 42 on the substrate 10, the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting layer 51 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second upper electrode 52 on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting layer 61 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the third upper electrode 62 on the substrate 10.

[0166] Optionally, the light color of the first light emitting unit 40 is red, the light color of the second light emitting unit 50 is one of blue and green, and the light color of the third light emitting unit 60 is the other of blue and green. Exemplarily, the light color of the second light emitting unit 50 is green, and the light color of the third light emitting unit 60 is blue.

[0167] See also Fig.15In some embodiments, the first minimum thickness is less than the third minimum thickness, and the second minimum thickness is less than the third minimum thickness. It is understandable that the degree of damage to the pixel definition layer 20 around the first light-emitting unit 40 and the pixel definition layer 20 around the second light-emitting unit 50 is less than the degree of damage to the pixel definition layer 20 around the third light-emitting unit 60, so that the first minimum thickness and the second minimum thickness can be less than the third minimum thickness.

[0168] For example, the first minimum thickness may be equal to the second minimum thickness. That is, the pixel definition layer 20 around the first light emitting unit 40 and the pixel definition layer 20 around the second light emitting unit 50 are damaged to the same extent.

[0169] Optionally, the absolute value of the first difference is greater than the absolute value of the second difference.

[0170] Optionally, the third light-emitting unit 60 includes a third light-emitting layer 61 and a third upper electrode 62 which are stacked in sequence along a direction away from the substrate 10, the third light-emitting layer 61 includes a fifth end 611 and a sixth end 612 opposite to the fifth end 611 in the first direction, and the thickness of the third upper electrode 62 located above the fifth end 611 and the thickness of the third upper electrode 62 located above the sixth end 612 have a third difference, wherein the absolute value of the third difference is greater than the absolute value of the second difference.

[0171] It is understandable that the first light-emitting unit 40 can be prepared after the second light-emitting unit 50, and the second light-emitting unit 50 can be prepared after the third light-emitting unit 60. When preparing the third light-emitting unit 60, the pixel definition layer 20 on the surrounding side of itself will not be damaged. The third upper electrode 62 of the third light-emitting unit 60 cannot protect the pixel definition layer 20 on the surrounding side of the first light-emitting unit 40 and the second light-emitting unit 50. When preparing the third light-emitting unit 60, the pixel definition layer 20 on the surrounding side of the first light-emitting unit 40 and the second light-emitting unit 50 will be damaged. Therefore, the first minimum thickness and the second minimum thickness are less than the third minimum thickness.

[0172] Optionally, the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 located above the first end 411 is greater than the thickness of the first upper electrode 42 located above the second end 412, wherein the first upper electrode 42 located above the first end 411 overlaps the isolation structure 30, and the first upper electrode 42 located above the second end 412 is spaced apart from the isolation structure 30.

[0173] Optionally, the second upper electrode 52 located above the third end 511 and the second upper electrode 52 located above the fourth end 512 are both overlapped with the isolation structure 30 .

[0174] Optionally, the thickness of the third upper electrode 62 located above the fifth end 611 is greater than the thickness of the third upper electrode 62 located above the sixth end 612, wherein the third upper electrode 62 located above the fifth end 611 overlaps the isolation structure 30, and the third upper electrode 62 located above the sixth end 612 is spaced apart from the isolation structure 30.

[0175] Optionally, the third light-emitting unit 60 may be deposited on one side, the second light-emitting unit 50 may be deposited on two sides, and the first light-emitting unit 40 may be deposited on one side.

[0176] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting layer 41 on the substrate 10 is located outside the orthographic projection of the first upper electrode 42 on the substrate 10, the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting layer 51 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second upper electrode 52 on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting layer 61 on the substrate 10 is located outside the orthographic projection of the third upper electrode 62 on the substrate 10.

[0177] Optionally, the light color of the first light emitting unit 40 is red, the light color of the second light emitting unit 50 is one of blue and green, and the light color of the third light emitting unit 60 is the other of blue and green. Exemplarily, the light color of the second light emitting unit 50 is green, and the light color of the third light emitting unit 60 is blue.

[0178] In some embodiments, the first minimum thickness is less than the second minimum thickness, and the first minimum thickness is less than the third minimum thickness. It is understood that the degree of damage to the pixel definition layer 20 around the first light-emitting unit 40 is less than the degree of damage to the pixel definition layer 20 around the second light-emitting unit 50 and the pixel definition layer 20 around the third light-emitting unit 60, so that the first minimum thickness can be less than the second minimum thickness and the third minimum thickness.

[0179] Optionally, the second minimum thickness is equal to the third minimum thickness. That is, the pixel definition layer 20 around the second light emitting unit 50 and the pixel definition layer 20 around the third light emitting unit 60 are damaged to the same extent.

[0180] Optionally, the third light-emitting unit 60 includes a third light-emitting layer 61 and a third upper electrode 62 which are stacked in sequence along a direction away from the substrate 10, the third light-emitting layer 61 includes a fifth end 611 and a sixth end 612 opposite to the fifth end 611 in the first direction, and the thickness of the third upper electrode 62 located above the fifth end 611 and the thickness of the third upper electrode 62 located above the sixth end 612 have a third difference, wherein the absolute value of the third difference is smaller than the absolute value of the first difference, and the absolute value of the third difference is smaller than the absolute value of the second difference.
