[0091] In these optional embodiments, the via holes 120 of the pixel electrodes 630 corresponding to the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 are arranged between the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312, so that the distance between the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 and other light-emitting units 310 on the side where the pixel electrode 630 is not arranged can be reduced, thereby further increasing the area of the light-emitting unit 310, so as to improve the aperture ratio and display effect of the display panel 10, thereby improving the performance of the OLED display product.
[0092] like Figure 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the orthographic projection of the via hole 120 corresponding to at least one of the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 on the substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding first opening 251 on the substrate 100 at least partially overlap.
[0093] In these optional embodiments, since the width of the area where the first opening 251 is opened between the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 is relatively large, it is convenient to improve the transmittance, and the via 120 corresponding to the first light-emitting unit 311 or the second light-emitting unit 312 is set in the area where the first opening 251 is located, so that the distance between the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 and other light-emitting units 310 on the side where the pixel electrode 630 is not set can be reduced, thereby further increasing the area of the light-emitting unit 310, so as to improve the aperture ratio and display effect of the display panel 10, thereby improving the performance of the OLED display product.
[0094] In some optional embodiments, the orthographic projections of the corresponding via holes 120 in the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 on the substrate 100 and the orthographic projections of the corresponding first openings 251 on the substrate 100 at least partially overlap.
[0095] In these optional embodiments, when the area of the isolation structure 200 around the first opening 251 is small and it is difficult to cover the entire via 120 of the pixel electrode 630, in order to set the via 120 of the pixel electrode 630 between the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312, it is necessary to set at least part of the via 120 corresponding to the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 in the area where the first opening 251 is located, so that the distance between the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 and other light-emitting units 310 on the side where the pixel electrode 630 is not set can be reduced, thereby further increasing the area of the light-emitting unit 310, so as to improve the aperture ratio and display effect of the display panel 10, thereby improving the performance of the OLED display product.
[0096] In some optional embodiments, the orthographic projection of the via hole 120 corresponding to at least one of the first light emitting unit 311 and the second light emitting unit 312 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the corresponding first opening 251 on the substrate 100 .
[0097] In these optional embodiments, since the first opening 251 has a larger coverage area, when the via hole 120 of the pixel electrode 630 is set between the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312, it is easier to set the via hole 120 of the pixel electrode 630 in the area where the first opening 251 is located, so that the distance between the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 and other light-emitting units 310 on the side where the pixel electrode 630 is not set can be reduced, thereby further increasing the area of the light-emitting unit 310, so as to improve the aperture ratio and display effect of the display panel 10, thereby improving the performance of the OLED display product.

[0108] In these optional embodiments, the area of the third light emitting unit 313 is set larger, which can increase the service life of the third light emitting unit 313 and avoid the problem of the brightness of the third light emitting unit 313 decaying too quickly, resulting in a decrease in the display effect of the display panel 10.
[0109] In some optional embodiments, the orthographic projection area of the second opening 252 on the substrate 100 is larger than the orthographic projection area of the first opening 251 on the substrate 100 .
[0110] In these optional embodiments, the orthographic projection area of the second opening 252 is set to be larger, so as to further increase the overall light transmission area of the display panel 10 and improve the transmittance of the display panel 10 .

[0154] In these optional embodiments, the pixel defining portion 610 of the pixel defining layer 600 encloses a pixel opening 620 to set the light emitting unit 310 and realize normal light emission of the light emitting unit 310. In addition, the pixel defining portion 610 defines the setting area of each light emitting unit 310 to reduce the cross-color defect between each light emitting unit 310.
[0155] See also Fig.12 , Fig.12 FIG. 4 is a partial top view of a display panel in yet another embodiment.
[0156] like Fig.12 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the pixel defining portion 610 protrudes toward the isolation opening 240 corresponding to the third light emitting unit 313 to form an extension portion 611 .
[0157] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the via hole 120 corresponding to the third light-emitting unit 313 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the extension portion 611 on the substrate 100 .
[0158] In these optional embodiments, the setting of the extension portion 611 enables the via hole 120 corresponding to the third light-emitting unit 313 to be set in the area where the extension portion 611 is located, which facilitates reducing the size of the pixel defining portion 610 between the third light-emitting unit 313 and other light-emitting units 310, thereby further increasing the aperture ratio of each light-emitting unit 310 and improving the display effect.
[0159] In some optional embodiments, the isolation structure 200 includes a first layer 210 and a second layer 220 located on a side of the first layer 210 facing away from the substrate 100 , and an orthographic projection of the first layer 210 on the substrate 100 is located within an orthographic projection of the second layer 220 on the substrate 100 .
[0160] In these optional embodiments, the isolation structure 200 includes a first layer 210 and a second layer 220 located on the side of the first layer 210 facing away from the substrate 100. The first layer 210 and the second layer 220 are stacked to form the isolation structure 200. The orthographic projection of the first layer 210 arranged close to the substrate 100 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the second layer 220 on the substrate 100. The area of the second layer 220 is larger than the area of the first layer 210. The second layer 220 covers the surface of the first layer 210 close to the second layer 220. At this time, the first layer 210 is recessed relative to the second layer 220 in a direction away from the isolation opening 240. When preparing the light-emitting layer 300, a large step is generated at the edge of the isolation structure 200 of the light-emitting layer 300, and the first layer 210 is concave relative to the second layer 220. The light-emitting layer 300 is difficult to connect at the edge of the isolation structure 200, and thus breaks. The light-emitting layer 300 breaks to form light-emitting units 310 that are disconnected from each other, thereby reducing crosstalk of carriers in the light-emitting layer 300 and improving the display effect of the display panel 10. In addition, the light-emitting unit 310 can be prepared without using a precision mask plate, which can reduce the development and use of precision masks and reduce preparation costs.
[0161] Optionally, the first layer 210 includes a conductive material, for example, the first layer 210 includes a non-metallic conductive material or a metallic conductive material.
[0162] In some optional embodiments, the second layer 220 includes a conductive material or an insulating material.
[0163] In these optional embodiments, the second layer 220 includes a conductive material, for example, the second layer 220 includes a non-metallic conductive material or a metallic conductive material. When the second layer 220 is a non-metallic conductive material or an insulating material, the second layer 220 is difficult to be etched during wet etching of the first layer 210 using an etching solution, so that the first layer 210 is more easily concavely arranged relative to the second layer 220.
[0164] In some optional embodiments, both the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 include metal materials, and the materials of the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 are different.
[0165] In these optional embodiments, when both the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 are made of metal materials, the first layer 210 may be wet-etched with an etching solution, and the etching rate of the second layer 220 may be set to be lower than the etching rate of the first layer 210 by setting the etching solution. Since the etching rate of the first layer 210 is relatively high, when the etching solution is used for wet etching, even if the second layer 220 is etched to a certain extent, the first layer 210 is etched faster, so that the first layer 210 is set concave relative to the second layer 220.
[0166] See also Fig.13 , Fig.13 is a partial cross-sectional view of a display panel in yet another embodiment.
[0167] like Fig.13 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the isolation structure 200 further includes a third layer 230 located on the side of the first layer 210 facing the substrate 100 , and the orthographic projection of the first layer 210 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the third layer 230 on the substrate 100 .
[0168] Due to the etching, the waste generated by the etching is easy to enter other positions of the display panel 10, thereby causing adverse effects. After the third layer 230 is set, the first layer 210 can be well attached to the third layer 230, and the generated etching waste falls on the third layer 230, which is easy to clean.
[0169] Optionally, the light emitting layer 300 includes an electron injection layer (EIL), an electron transport layer (ETL), a light emitting material layer, a hole injection layer (HIL) and a hole transport layer (HTL). The light emitting unit 310 includes only at least one of the electron injection layer (EIL), the electron transport layer (ETL), the light emitting material layer, the hole injection layer (HIL) and the hole transport layer (HTL), and does not include structures such as the first electrode 410 and the pixel electrode 630.

[0171] According to the display panel 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the display panel 10 includes a substrate 100, a pixel electrode 630, an isolation structure 200 and a light-emitting layer 300. When preparing the light-emitting layer 300, the light-emitting layer 300 has a large drop at the edge of the isolation structure 200, which is difficult to connect, and thus breaks. The light-emitting layer 300 breaks to form light-emitting units 310 that are disconnected from each other and located in the isolation opening 240, reducing the crosstalk of carriers in the light-emitting layer 300, improving the display effect of the display panel 10, and preparing the light-emitting unit 310 can be prepared without using a precision mask plate, which can reduce the development and use of precision masks and reduce the preparation cost. The pixel electrode 630 is connected to the metal layer 130 through the via 120 on the planarization layer 110, so that the metal layer 130 controls the signal of the pixel electrode 630, and the pixel electrode 630 is exposed by the isolation opening 240, so that the pixel electrode 630 can contact the light-emitting unit 310, so as to serve as the electrode of the light-emitting unit 310 and control the light emission of the light-emitting unit 310. The via hole 120 of the pixel electrode 630 corresponding to at least one of the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 corresponding to the first opening 251 is set in the area where the same first opening 251 of the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 is located, so that the distance between the first light-emitting unit 311 and the second light-emitting unit 312 and other light-emitting units 310 on the side where the via hole 120 of the pixel electrode 630 is not set can be reduced, thereby increasing the area of the light-emitting unit 310, so as to improve the aperture ratio and display effect of the display panel 10, thereby improving the performance of the OLED display product.
