DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0118] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0119] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present application for which protection is sought, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0120] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0121] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the positions or positional relationships in which the inventive product is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific position, be constructed and operated in a specific position, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0122] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, different features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other.

[0123] Improving the density of light-emitting devices in a display panel (i.e., pixel density) is an important way to improve the display effect. However, the display panels currently made using the fine metal evaporation mask (FMM) technology cannot further increase the density of light-emitting devices due to technical limitations. After long-term research, the inventors found that in order to solve the technical problem that the density of light-emitting devices cannot be further increased, an isolation structure is set in some display panels. When the light-emitting material layer and the cathode are evaporated in the entire layer, the light-emitting material layer and the cathode can be disconnected at the isolation structure position. Through multiple evaporation and multiple etching processes, light-emitting devices of different colors can be formed in different isolation openings, that is, light-emitting device patterning.

[0124] Patent PCT / CN2023 / 134518, patent 202310759370.2, patent 202310740412.8, patent 202310707209.0, patent 202311499823.9, patent 202310692671.8, patent 202311091555.7 and patent 202311346196.5 record relevant technical solutions of isolation structure and encapsulation layer, and their contents are incorporated into this application by reference for reference.

[0125] In the above-mentioned display panel, it is usually necessary to overlap the cathode formed by evaporation with the side wall of the isolation structure to achieve the transmission of a common voltage (e.g., ELVSS voltage) to the cathode through the isolation structure. However, since the transparent conductive material used for the cathode is different from the material used for the isolation structure, a relatively large overlap resistance will be generated at the overlap position. Factors such as the shape of the isolation opening formed by the isolation structure and the evaporation direction of the cathode will affect the overlap length and thus the overlap effect. How to determine the overlap resistance per unit length in different directions is crucial to the subsequent design of the appearance of the light-emitting device.

[0126] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the inventor innovatively designed the following technical solutions, and the specific implementation solutions of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the defects existing in the solutions in the above-mentioned prior art are the results obtained by the inventor after practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above-mentioned technical problems and the solutions proposed in this embodiment below for the above-mentioned problems should all be the contributions made by the inventor to the present application in the process of invention and creation, and should not be understood as the technical content known to those skilled in the art.

[0127] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the display panel provided by this embodiment is illustrated. Figure 2 Example Figure 1 In this embodiment, the display panel 1 includes a substrate 110 and an isolation structure layer.

[0128] The substrate 110 may include a flexible substrate or a rigid substrate. An array film layer structure 111 may be provided on one side of the substrate 110. The array film layer structure 111 may include a buffer layer, an active layer, multiple metal layers, multiple insulating layers, a planarization layer, and other multiple film layer structures. The multiple film layer structures may form multiple thin film transistors (TFTs) at different positions of the array film layer structure 111, and the thin film transistors may cooperate with each other to form multiple pixel driving units.

[0129] The isolation structure layer is located on one side of the substrate 11. Exemplarily, the isolation structure layer is located on the side of the array film layer structure 111 away from the substrate 110. The isolation structure layer is a single film layer or a multi-film layer structure. The isolation structure layer is a conductive isolation structure layer. The isolation structure layer includes at least one test element group (TEG) 121. The test element group 121 includes a first test isolation structure 1211 and a second test isolation structure 1212. The first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0130] The orthographic projection of the first test isolation structure 1211 on the substrate 11 has a first edge 1201 facing the second test isolation structure 1212, and the orthographic projection of the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 11 has a second edge 1202 facing the first test isolation structure 1211. The first edge 1201 and the second edge 1202 are parallel, and the first edge 1201 and the second edge 1202 have the same length.

[0131] In this embodiment, it is only necessary that the orthographic projections of the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 110 are parallel to each other and have the same length. The orthographic projections of the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 110 may be regular or irregular, which is not limited here. In addition, the orthographic projections of the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 110 may be the same or different.

[0132] In the above structure, by adjusting the moving direction of the first edge 1201 and the second edge 1202 and the evaporation source, the lap resistance per unit length of the test isolation structure under different evaporation angles can be directly and effectively obtained, so as to calculate the lap resistance of light-emitting devices of different shapes based on the lap resistance per unit length of the test isolation structure, which is beneficial to the subsequent design or adjustment of the isolation opening.

[0133] Furthermore, the inventors have found that in order to protect the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 from being etched by the etching solution, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The test element group 121 also includes an isolation protection structure 1213. The isolation protection structure 1213 encloses a test opening 1203 on the substrate 110. The first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 are located in the test opening 1203. The isolation protection structure 1213 can form a dam structure around the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 to block the entry of etching liquid, so as to ensure that in the subsequent process technology, the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 will not be etched by the etching liquid, resulting in the first edge 1201 and the second edge 1202 failing to meet the parallel and equal requirements. In this embodiment, the orthographic projections of the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 110 do not overlap with the orthographic projections of the isolation protection structure 1213 on the substrate 110. Such a design allows the entire surface of the evaporated film to be disconnected between the isolation protection structure 1213 and the test isolation structure in the test opening 1203 during subsequent vapor deposition, thereby isolating the isolation protection structure 1213 and the test isolation structure in the test opening 1203.

[0134] In this embodiment, the orthographic projection shape of the isolation protection structure 1213 on the substrate 110 is a ring. It can be understood that the isolation protection structure 1213 only needs to form a dam structure surrounding the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212. The orthographic projection shape of the isolation protection structure 1213 on the substrate 110 can be a regular ring or an irregular ring.

[0135] In a possible implementation, the orthographic projection shape of the isolation protection structure 1213 on the substrate 110 is a rectangular ring. The orthographic projection shapes of the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 110 are the same. Preferably, the orthographic projection shapes of the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 110 are rectangular. In this embodiment, the edges of the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 may be parallel to the corresponding edges of the isolation protection structure 1213. Exemplarily, the first edge 1201 corresponds to the long side of the orthographic projection of the first test isolation structure 1211 on the substrate 110, and the second edge 1202 corresponds to the long side of the orthographic projection of the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 110. Using a longer edge as the overlap edge can increase the overlap length, thereby improving the calculation accuracy of the overlap resistance per unit length.

[0136] For further information, please refer to Figure 5The display panel 1 further includes a bridging electrode 13, which at least bridgingly connects the sidewalls of the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 that face each other, and electrically connects the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212. The bridging electrode 13 may be insulated from the isolation protection structure 1213.

[0137] In a possible implementation, the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 may be arranged opposite to each other or diagonally. When the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 are arranged opposite to each other, the positive projection shape of the overlapping electrode 13 connecting the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 110 is a rectangle. When the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 are arranged diagonally, the positive projection shape of the overlapping electrode 13 connecting the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 110 is a parallelogram. Among them, the overlapping length of the overlapping electrode 13 and the first test isolation structure 1211 is equal to the overlapping length of the overlapping electrode 13 and the second test isolation structure 1212.

The conductive trace 14 can be located in the array film layer structure 111. The conductive trace 14 includes a first conductive trace 141 and a second conductive trace 142 that are insulated from each other. The display panel 1 also includes a first test contact 1401, a second test contact 1402, a third test contact 1403 and a fourth test contact 1404.

[0139] The first conductive trace 141 connects the first test isolation structure 1211 with the first test contact 1401 and the second test contact 1402, and the second conductive trace 142 connects the second test isolation structure 1212 with the third test contact 1403 and the fourth test contact 1404. Exemplarily, the first test isolation structure 1211 is connected to the first test contact 1401 and the second test contact 1402 through two first conductive traces 141, respectively, wherein the two first conductive traces 141 can be partially shared. One of the first test contact 201 and the second test contact 202 can be in contact with a current supply probe (e.g., a positive electrode of a constant current source) of a test device, and the other can be in contact with a voltage collection probe. The second test isolation structure 1212 is connected to the third test contact 1403 and the fourth test contact 1404 through two second connecting traces 142, respectively, and the two second conductive traces 142 can be partially shared. One of the third test contact 1403 and the fourth test contact 1404 can be in contact with a current supply probe (e.g., the negative pole of a constant current source) of a test device, and the other can be in contact with a voltage collection probe. The total resistance R between the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 can be tested by using a four-probe test method. 总 The conductive trace 14 is generally made of a titanium-aluminum-titanium three-layer structure, and its trace resistance is small and can be ignored. In this embodiment, the total resistance R 总 The first conductive trace 141 is mainly composed of a first connection resistor R1 between the first conductive trace 141 and the first test isolation structure 1211, a second connection resistor R2 between the second conductive trace 142 and the second test isolation structure 1212, a third resistor R3 of the bridging electrode 13 between the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212, and a bridging resistor R1 between the bridging electrode 13 and the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212. t Composition. Lap resistor R t It can be expressed as R t =R 总 -R1-R2-R3, the lap resistance per unit length R d =R t / (2*L), where L is the length of the first edge or the second edge. The first connection resistor R1 and the second connection resistor R2 can be measured by a set reference test element group, and the third resistor R3 can also be directly measured by a test device.

The first test isolation structure 1211 is connected to the first conductive trace 141 through the first defining layer through hole 15101, and the second test isolation structure 1212 is connected to the second conductive trace 142 through the second defining layer through hole 15102.

[0143] The orthographic projection of the third defining layer through hole 15103 on the substrate 110 surrounds the orthographic projections of the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 on the substrate 110 . Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the third defining layer through hole 15103 on the substrate 110 is in the shape of a ring.

[0144] The orthographic projections of the first test isolation structure 1121, the second test isolation structure 1122, and the isolation protection structure 1123 on the substrate 110 partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the third definition layer through hole 15103 on the substrate 110. Exemplarily, the first test isolation structure 1121 and the second test isolation structure 1122 extend relative to the pixel definition layer 151 toward one side of the isolation protection structure 1123, and the side of the isolation protection structure 1123 toward the center of the test opening 1203 extends relative to the pixel definition layer 151.

The electrode layer made in the same layer as the bonding electrode 13 can also cover the isolation protection structure 1213. In the subsequent process technology, the electrode layer covering the isolation protection structure 1213 can be etched away by the etching solution.

[0146] Optionally, the electrode layer is disconnected at the location of the third defining layer through hole 15103 so that the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 are not electrically connected to the isolation protection structure 1213 .

[0147] Optionally, the electrode layer covering the first test isolation structure 1211 and the second test isolation structure 1212 is disconnected from the bonding electrode 13 .

[0148] Further, please refer again to Fig. 9 The insulating layer 15 further includes a planarization layer 152, which is located on the side of the pixel definition layer 151 facing the conductive trace 14. The planarization layer 152 includes a first planarization layer through hole 15201 and a second planarization layer through hole 15202. The first test isolation structure 1121 is connected to the first conductive trace 141 through the first definition layer through hole 15101 and the first planarization layer through hole 15201, and the second test isolation structure 1122 is connected to the second conductive trace 142 through the second definition layer through hole 15102 and the second planarization layer through hole 15202.

[0150] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 10-12 , the extension direction of the first edge 1201 intersects or is parallel to the moving direction of the evaporation source when the lap electrode 13 is formed by evaporation (the X direction in the figure), that is, the angle between the extension direction of the first edge 1201 and the moving direction of the evaporation source when the lap electrode 13 is formed by evaporation is between 0 degrees and 180 degrees. Exemplarily, the angle between the extension direction of the first edge 1201 and the moving direction of the evaporation source when the lap electrode 13 is formed by evaporation includes 0 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 25 degrees, 35 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 65 degrees, 85 degrees, 90 degrees, 105 degrees, 120 degrees, 135 degrees, 145 degrees, 165 degrees, 175 degrees and 180 degrees, etc. Preferably, as Figure 7 , Figure 10-12 As shown, the included angles between the extension direction of the first edge and the moving direction of the evaporation source 13 when the overlapping electrode is formed by evaporation are 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees and 135 degrees.

[0151] In order to directly and effectively obtain the lap resistance per unit length of the test isolation structure at different evaporation angles, the display panel 1 includes multiple test element groups 121 with different angles between the extension direction of the first edge and the moving direction of the evaporation source when evaporating to form the lap electrode 13.

The setting of the isolation structure 124 can form film layers of light-emitting devices of different colors in different isolation openings 1241 without the need for a fine metal mask, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the display panel. The isolation structure 124 can isolate the light-emitting material layer and the second electrode in the light-emitting device, so that different light-emitting devices are independent of each other, so as to improve the crosstalk between adjacent light-emitting devices 16 and enhance the display effect. Adjacent light-emitting devices 16 can be independently packaged to improve the packaging yield. At the same time, due to the existence of the isolation structure 124, the light-emitting material layer 162 and the second electrode 163 in the light-emitting device 16 of each color in the display panel can be first prepared on the entire surface and then patterned, thereby eliminating the fine metal mask to save the manufacturing cost of the display panel.
