[0085] In order to better understand this application, Figures 1 to 18 The manufacturing method of the display panel, the display panel and the display device according to the embodiments of the present application are described in detail.
[0086] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing a display panel, comprising:
[0087] Step S01: Figure 2 As shown, an isolation structure 400 is prepared on a substrate 100 , and the isolation structure 400 encloses a first isolation opening 411 , a second isolation opening 412 , and a third isolation opening 413 .
[0088] Step S02: Figure 3 As shown, a first preparation material layer is disposed on a side of the isolation structure 400 facing away from the substrate 100 , and a portion of the first preparation material layer falls into the first isolation opening 411 to form the first light emitting unit 331 and the first encapsulation portion 610 .
[0089] Step S03: Figure 4 As shown, the first preparation material layer in the area where the second isolation opening 412 is located is removed to expose the second isolation opening 412 , and the first preparation material layer in the area where the third isolation opening 413 is located is retained.
[0090] Step S04: Figure 5As shown, a second preparation material layer is disposed on the side of the isolation structure 400 facing away from the substrate 100 , and a portion of the second preparation material layer falls into the second isolation opening 412 to form a second light emitting unit 332 and a second encapsulation portion 620 .
[0091] In the preparation method provided in the embodiment of the present application, firstly, an isolation structure 400 is prepared on the substrate 100 through step S01, and the isolation structure 400 encloses a first isolation opening 411, a second isolation opening 412 and a third isolation opening 413. Different isolation openings 410 can be used to accommodate different light-emitting units 330, which can improve the crosstalk problem of light output between different light-emitting units 330. In step S02, a first preparation material layer is set on the substrate 100 with the isolation structure 400, and the first preparation material layer will fall into the first isolation opening 411, the second isolation opening 412, and the third isolation opening 413, and the first preparation material layer will also fall on the side of the isolation structure 400 away from the substrate 100. The first preparation material layer falling into the first isolation opening 411 forms the first light-emitting unit 331. In step S03, the first preparation material layer in the area where the second isolation opening 412 is located is removed, and the first preparation material layer in the area where the third isolation opening 413 is located is retained, and the first preparation material layer in the area where the third isolation opening 413 is located is not removed in step S03. In step S04, the second preparation material layer continues to be set, so that the second light-emitting unit 332 is formed in the second isolation opening 412. In the embodiment of the present application, in step S02, the first preparation material layer in the area where the second isolation opening 412 is located is removed, and the first preparation material layer in the area where the third isolation opening 413 is located is not removed. This can improve the shape of the wall of the isolation structure 400 facing the third isolation opening 413 when the preparation material layer in the third isolation opening 413 is removed multiple times, thereby improving the process performance of the display panel.
[0092] Among them, patents CN118251982A, 202410864269.8, PCT / CN2024 / 098407, PCT / CN2024 / 102783, PCT / CN2024 / 098217, PCT / CN2024 / 099419, and PCT / CN2024 / 099072 record the relevant technical solutions of the isolation structure and the encapsulation layer, and their contents are incorporated into this application by reference for reference. There are many ways to set the substrate 100. The substrate 100 may include a substrate and a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a third conductive layer arranged on one side of the substrate and stacked. An insulating layer is provided between adjacent conductive layers. Optionally, a drive device layer is provided on the substrate, and a pixel drive circuit is provided in the drive device layer, and the pixel drive circuit includes a transistor and a storage capacitor. The transistor includes a semiconductor, a gate, a source and a drain. The storage capacitor includes a first plate and a second plate. As an example, the gate and the first electrode plate may be located in the first conductive layer, the second electrode plate may be located in the second conductive layer, and the source and the drain may be located in the third conductive layer.
[0093] Optionally, before step S01, a first electrode layer 200 may be prepared on the substrate 100, and the first electrode layer 200 includes first electrodes 210 arranged at intervals. In step S01, each first electrode 210 is exposed by each first isolation opening 411, so that the first electrode 210 can be in contact with and connected to the light-emitting unit 330 located in each isolation opening 410.
[0094] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, after step S04, the following steps are also included:
[0095] Step S05: Figure 7 As shown, the first preparation material layer in the area where the first isolation opening 411 is located is removed, and the first preparation material layer and the second preparation material layer in the area where the third isolation opening 413 is located are removed to expose the third isolation opening 413 .
[0096] Step S06: Figure 8 As shown, a third preparation material layer is disposed on the side of the isolation structure 400 facing away from the substrate 100 , and a portion of the third preparation material layer falls into the third isolation opening 413 to form a third light emitting unit 333 and a third encapsulation portion 630 .
[0097] The isolation structure 400 has a side wall surface 420 facing the third isolation opening 413. In the related art, the first preparation material layer outside the area where the first isolation opening 411 is located is usually removed in step S03, that is, the first preparation material layer in the area where the second isolation opening 412 and the third isolation opening 413 are located is removed in step S03. And after step S04, the second preparation material layer in the area where the third isolation is located continues to be removed. In the related art, the material layer in the third isolation opening 413 is removed at least twice in succession to expose the third isolation opening 413, which causes the side wall surface 420 to be repeatedly patterned, for example, the side wall is repeatedly etched, which will affect the shape of the side wall surface 420. When the third light-emitting unit 333 is prepared later, it will affect the preparation and molding of the third light-emitting unit 333, and may also affect the overlap of the second electrode 500 and the isolation structure 400 in the third isolation opening 413.
[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the first preparation material layer in the area where the third isolation opening 413 is located is not removed in step S03, and when the second preparation material layer in the third isolation opening 413 is removed in step S05, the side wall surface 420 is not exposed. Finally, the preparation material layer in the area where the third isolation opening 413 is located is removed, so that the side wall surface 420 is etched at most once, which can improve the yield of the side wall surface 420 and thereby improve the process performance of the display panel.
[0099] Optionally, in step S05, the third isolation opening 413 and a portion of the isolation structure 400 surrounding the third isolation opening 413 are exposed. That is, the removal range is larger, which can improve the impurity residue in the third isolation opening 413 and improve the incomplete material removal in the third isolation opening 413 caused by process error.
[0100] Optionally, after step S05, the first encapsulation part 610 and the second encapsulation part 620 are spaced apart on the side of the isolation structure 400 away from the substrate 100. That is, after the first preparation material layer in the area where the second isolation opening 412 is located and the second preparation material layer in the area where the first isolation opening 411 is located are removed, a portion of the isolation structure 400 located between the first encapsulation part 610 and the second encapsulation part 620 will be exposed to ensure complete removal.
[0101] In some optional embodiments, after step S06, the following steps are further included:

[0147] like Fig.17 and Fig.18As shown, the second embodiment of the present application further provides a display panel, which can be prepared and formed by the preparation method of any of the above-mentioned first embodiment. The display panel includes: a substrate 100; an isolation structure 400, which is arranged on one side of the substrate 100 and encloses an isolation opening 410, and the isolation opening 410 includes a first isolation opening 411, a second isolation opening 412 and a third isolation opening 413; a light-emitting layer, including a first light-emitting unit 331 located at the first isolation opening 411, a second light-emitting unit 332 located at the second isolation opening 412 and a third light-emitting unit 333 located at the third isolation opening 413; wherein the isolation structure 400 includes a first sublayer 401 and a second sublayer 400 stacked in a direction away from the substrate 100. The second sublayer 402 is arranged to protrude relative to the first sublayer 401 toward the isolation opening 410, and the length of the second sublayer 402 protruding relative to the first sublayer 401 toward the first isolation opening 411 is the first length SA1, the length of the second sublayer 402 protruding relative to the first sublayer 401 toward the second isolation opening 412 is the second length SA2, and the length of the second sublayer 402 protruding relative to the first sublayer 401 toward the third isolation opening 413 is the third length SA3, and the absolute value of the difference between the second length SA2 and the third length SA3 is less than or equal to 0.1μm. Optionally, the absolute value of the difference between the second length SA2 and the third length SA3 can be 0.1μm, 0.09μm, 0.085μm, 0.07μm, 0.05μm or less.
[0148] In the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application, referring to the above-mentioned preparation method, the first light-emitting unit 331 can be prepared first, and then the second light-emitting unit 332 and the third light-emitting unit 333 can be prepared in sequence, and the side wall surface 420 of the isolation structure 400 facing the third isolation opening 413 and the side wall surface facing the second isolation opening 412 are etched at most once, so that the second length SA2 and the third length SA3 are close, that is, the absolute value of the difference between the second length SA2 and the third length SA3 is less than or equal to 0.1μm. The shape of the side wall surface 420 of the isolation structure 400 facing the third isolation opening 413 is more in line with expectations, which can improve the yield of the third light-emitting unit 333 and the third sub-electrode 530, and improve the process performance of the display panel.
[0149] Optionally, the first length SA1 is smaller than the second length SA2, and / or the first length SA1 is smaller than the third length SA3.
[0150] In the embodiment of the present application, before preparing the first light-emitting unit 331, the side wall surface of the isolation structure 400 facing the first isolation opening 411 is not side-etched, so the inner wall surface of the first sublayer 401 facing the first isolation opening 411 is not damaged, and the surface of the first sublayer 401 facing the second isolation opening 412 and the third isolation opening 413 are etched once, so the first length SA1 is smaller, while the second length SA2 and the third length SA3 are larger.
[0151] Optionally, the first length SA1 is smaller than the second length SA2, and the absolute value of the difference between the first length SA1 and the second length SA2 is 0.05μm to 0.15μm. For example, the absolute value of the difference between the first length SA1 and the second length SA2 is 0.05μm, 0.06μm, 0.08μm, 0.09μm, 0.095μm, 0.10μm, 0.106μm, 0.12μm / 0.14μm, or 0.15μm, so as to improve the display effect of the display panel affected by the absolute value of the difference between the first length SA1 and the second length SA2 being too long.
[0152] And / or, the first length SA1 is smaller than the third length SA3, and the absolute value of the difference between the first length SA1 and the third length SA3 is 0.05 μm to 0.15 μm. For example, the absolute value of the difference between the first length SA1 and the third length SA3 is 0.05 μm, 0.06 μm, 0.08 μm, 0.09 μm, 0.095 μm, 0.10 μm, 0.106 μm, 0.12 μm / 0.14 μm, 0.15 μm, so as to improve the display effect of the display panel affected by the absolute value of the difference between the first length SA1 and the third length SA3 being too long.
[0153] Optionally, the second length SA2 may be slightly greater than the third length SA3, or the second length SA2 may be slightly less than the third length SA3. When the first length SA1 is less than the second length SA2, and the second length SA2 is less than or equal to the third length SA3, the absolute value of the difference between the first length SA1 and the second length SA2 is greater than the absolute value of the difference between the second length SA2 and the third length SA3, or, when the first length SA1 is less than the third length SA3, and the third length SA3 is less than or equal to the second length SA2, the absolute value of the difference between the first length SA1 and the third length SA3 is greater than the absolute value of the difference between the second length SA2 and the third length SA3. Since the surfaces of the isolation structure 400 facing the second isolation opening 412 and the third isolation opening 413 are etched at most once, the second length SA2 and the third length SA3 are close, but the side of the isolation structure 400 facing the first isolation opening 411 is not etched, so the first length SA1 is significantly smaller than the second length SA2 and the third length SA3.
[0154] Optionally, the second length SA2 and the third length SA3 are equal, so that the sizes of the isolation structures 400 at different positions are closer and the isolation effects of the isolation structures 400 on different luminescent materials are closer, so as to further improve the manufacturing yield and display uniformity of the display panel.
[0155] Optionally, the display panel may also include the above-mentioned first electrode layer 200, pixel definition layer 300, second electrode 500, packaging part 600, second packaging layer 700 and third packaging layer 800. The arrangement of the first electrode layer 200, pixel definition layer 300, isolation structure 400, second electrode 500, packaging part 600, second packaging layer 700 and third packaging layer 800 is as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0156] For example, optionally, the display panel includes a second electrode 500 located at a side of each light-emitting unit 330 away from the substrate 100. The second electrode 500 may include a first sub-electrode 510 located at the first isolation opening 411, a second sub-electrode 520 located at the second isolation opening 412, and a third sub-electrode 530 located at the third isolation opening 413.
