[0002] With the continuous development of display technology, the application of OLED (Organic light-Emitting Diode) display panels is becoming more and more widespread. The mainstream method for mass production of OLED panels is the vacuum evaporation process.

The graphic fineness of the FMM will directly affect the resolution, display effect and production yield of the OLED display panel. Due to the limitation of the graphical accuracy of the FMM, the improvement of the display panel resolution is limited.

[0192] In order to better understand the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this specification, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this specification are described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of this specification and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this specification, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this specification.

The term "more than two" includes two or more than two situations.

[0194] With the continuous development of display technology, the application of OLED display panels is becoming more and more extensive. The mainstream method for mass production of OLED panels is the vacuum evaporation process. FMM can be used to realize the graphic evaporation of different color luminescent materials on the display panel. The graphic fineness of FMM will directly affect the resolution, display effect and production yield of the OLED display panel. Due to the limitation of the graphic accuracy of FMM, the improvement of the display panel resolution is limited. Therefore, in order to further improve the resolution of the display panel, the light-emitting device can be prepared by the FMM-free process. However, the existing FMM-free process is prone to poor cathode connection, resulting in abnormal display of the display panel.

[0195] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a display panel, a display device and a method for manufacturing a display panel, which can improve display abnormalities caused by poor cathode connection of a display panel manufactured without an FMM process and improve display effects.

[0196] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a display panel is provided. Figure 1 This is a schematic partial cross-sectional structure diagram of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, it includes: a substrate layer 100, a plurality of light-emitting devices 200, a plurality of auxiliary electrodes 300 and an auxiliary signal line 400; illustratively, the substrate layer 100 may be a hard substrate, such as glass; the substrate layer 100 may also be a flexible substrate, such as polyimide. A plurality of light-emitting devices 200 are arranged on one side of the substrate layer 100; the plurality of light-emitting devices 200 may be arranged in an array, and the light-emitting device includes a first electrode 210, a light-emitting layer 220 and a second electrode 230, and the light-emitting layer 220 is arranged between the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230; the light-emitting layer 220 may emit light under the drive of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230, and the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 may receive a driving signal respectively. The second electrode 230 is electrically connected to at least one auxiliary electrode 300, and the second electrodes 230 of different light-emitting devices 200 may be independent of each other, and each second electrode 230 may be connected to at least one auxiliary electrode 300. The auxiliary signal line 400 is electrically connected to at least two auxiliary electrodes 300. The number of auxiliary signal lines 400 on the display panel can be one or more, and is not specifically limited. The auxiliary signal line 400 is used to provide the second driving signal of the second electrode 230 to the auxiliary electrode 300. The auxiliary electrode 300 can transmit the received second driving signal to the second electrode 230 to drive the light-emitting layer 220 to emit light. The first electrode 210 can receive the first driving signal. The first driving signal and the second driving signal can be voltage signals. The light-emitting layer 220 emits light under the action of the first driving signal and the second driving signal, and the emitted light can be used for displaying the picture of the display panel. Exemplarily, a light-emitting device 200 can be used as a sub-pixel of a display panel, and light-emitting devices that emit light of different colors can form a pixel unit, and the pixel units are repeatedly arranged in the display panel.

[0197] Exemplarily, the first electrode 210 can be one of the anode and the cathode, and the second electrode 230 can be the other of the anode and the cathode; when the first electrode 210 is the anode and the second electrode 230 is the cathode, the first drive signal is the anode signal and the second drive signal is the cathode signal. This is merely exemplary and is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0198] It should be noted that Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of a light emitting device 200 in the display panel in the thickness direction H of the display panel, Figure 1 The light emitting device 200 shown can be of any color, and the thickness direction H of the display panel is also a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate layer 100 is located, and is also the thickness direction of the substrate layer 100 .

[0199] For example, Figure 1As shown, the light emitting layer 220 is broken at the edge of the auxiliary electrode 300 , and the second electrode 230 is connected to the side wall of the auxiliary electrode 300 in the thickness direction H, so that the auxiliary electrode 300 and the second electrode 230 can be electrically connected.

[0200] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary signal line 400 is arranged in the same layer as the first electrode 210. The auxiliary signal line 400 and the first electrode 210 can be realized by etching the same conductive layer to obtain a pattern. Therefore, the arrangement of the auxiliary signal line 400 does not need to increase the process flow and will not cause an increase in production costs.

[0201] It should be noted that FMM can usually be used to realize the graphic evaporation of different color luminescent materials on the display panel. The graphic hollowing on the FMM can pass the luminescent material to the display panel during the evaporation process to form a graphic luminescent material. The graphic fineness of the FMM will directly affect the resolution, display effect and production yield of the OLED display panel. FMM is a fine metal mask, usually a thin layer of metal. The metal can be Invar (low expansion alloy), and Invar can be a nickel-iron alloy, also known as Invar alloy. The thickness of FMM can be within 100 microns, and the corresponding hollowing can be set according to the needs of the evaporation material pattern. FMM is consumable and expensive, and there is also a lot of waste of evaporation materials in the evaporation process. Since the process accuracy of the hollowing of FMM will directly affect the arrangement setting of the evaporation material pattern of the display panel, that is, it affects the resolution of the display panel, the PPI (Pixels Per Inch) of the display panel prepared by FMM is usually around 400, which is difficult to further increase. Therefore, the preparation of evaporation material patterns without FMM process is a major development trend of OLED display panels. Light-emitting devices are prepared without the FMM process, and light-emitting materials of different colors are prepared separately. The light-emitting materials outside the target area can be removed by etching or other methods, and light-emitting devices of corresponding colors can be obtained in the target area. There is no need to use FMM, which can shorten the distance between adjacent light-emitting devices and improve the PPI of the display panel.

[0202] It should be noted that pixel interference of different colors can be separated by isolating the light-emitting layers of light-emitting devices of different colors. However, when isolating the light-emitting layers, the cathode will also be responded to and isolated due to its front setting, affecting the cathode drive and causing display abnormalities.

[0203] The display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with an auxiliary electrode 300 and an auxiliary signal line 400, and the second electrode 230 is electrically connected through the auxiliary electrode 300, and the auxiliary signal line 400 can provide a second driving signal for the second electrode 230. On the one hand, all the auxiliary signal lines 400 can be connected to the same second driving signal, and the setting of the auxiliary signal line 400 and the auxiliary electrode 300 is equivalent to a parallel resistor, which can reduce the path impedance of the second electrode 230, reduce the IRDrop on the second electrode 230, and improve the display effect. On the other hand, the auxiliary signal line 400 provides the second driving signal to the second electrode 230, which can ensure that the second electrode 230 receives the required second driving signal, and avoids the display abnormality problem caused by the second electrode 230 set in the whole layer breaking along with the light-emitting layer 220.

[0204] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a pixel defining layer and a driving layer, the pixel defining layer is provided with a plurality of pixel openings, the pixel openings can be used to define the area where the light-emitting device is located, and the pixel openings can be used to expose at least a portion of the first electrode 210, so that the first electrode 210 exposed by the pixel opening is electrically connected to the light-emitting layer 220. The driving layer can be used to provide a driving signal to the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230, the driving layer can include multiple conductive layers, and the auxiliary signal line 400 can be provided in the same layer as any conductive layer. The driving layer can include a driving device, such as a driving transistor, and the driving layer can also include any signal line, such as a gate signal line, a data signal line, etc.

[0205] For example, Figure 2 A schematic partial structural diagram of another display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 A schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a display panel along A1-A2 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The display panel is only partially illustrated. The display panel includes a pixel defining layer 500 and a driving layer 600. The driving layer 600 is disposed between the substrate layer 100 and the light emitting device, that is, the driving layer 600 is disposed between the substrate layer 100 and the first electrode 210. The pixel defining layer 500 is disposed on a side of the driving layer 600 away from the substrate layer 100. The pixel defining layer 500 includes a plurality of pixel openings 501. Figure 2 The light emitting device 200 may include a red light emitting device, a blue light emitting device and a green light emitting device. The red light emitting device may correspond to a red pixel opening r1, the blue light emitting device may correspond to a blue pixel opening b1, and the green light emitting device may correspond to a green pixel opening g1. Figure 3The pixel opening 501 can be used to expose a portion of the first electrode 210, and the first electrode 210 exposed by the pixel opening 501 can be used to be electrically connected to the light-emitting layer. It should be noted that a light-emitting auxiliary layer, such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, and an electron blocking layer, can also be provided between the first electrode 210 and the light-emitting layer 220.

[0206] Exemplarily, the driving layer 600 may include a pixel driving circuit, which is electrically connected to the first electrode 210 of the light emitting device 200; the pixel driving circuit may include multiple transistors, for example, the pixel driving circuit may be a circuit structure such as 2T1C, 7T1C or 9T1C, where T represents TFT (thin film transistor), C represents capacitance, and the value represents the number of devices. The pixel driving circuit may include a driving transistor 610, and the source or drain of the driving transistor is electrically connected to the first electrode 210.

[0207] Exemplary, reference Figure 3 The driving transistor 610 includes a gate 511, an active layer 612 and a source-drain electrode 613. The source-drain electrode 613 includes a source and a drain. The source and the drain can be insulated from each other in the same layer. Figure 3 The driving transistor 610 shown is a bottom gate structure, that is, the gate 611 is located on a side of the active layer 612 away from the source-drain electrode 613 .

[0208] Exemplary, reference Figure 3 , the first electrode 210 can be prepared before the pixel definition layer 500. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 501 on the substrate layer 100 falls within the orthographic projection of the first electrode 210 on the substrate layer 100. Figure 2 As shown, the dotted line surrounding the pixel opening 501 is the electrode edge 211 of the first electrode 210 , and the dotted circle indicates the first electrode via hole 601 , through which the first electrode 210 and the driving transistor 610 can pass.

[0209] Exemplary, reference Figure 2 , the dashed line box indicates the auxiliary signal line 400 , and the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 300 on the substrate layer 100 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the auxiliary signal line 400 on the substrate layer 100 .

[0210] For example, Figure 2As shown, the red light-emitting device corresponding to the red pixel opening r1, the green light-emitting device corresponding to the green pixel opening g1, and the blue light-emitting device corresponding to the blue pixel opening b1 can form a pixel unit 101, and the display panel can include a plurality of pixel units 101 arranged in an array, and the pixel unit 101 can include a plurality of light-emitting devices. The auxiliary signal line 400 is arranged between the pixel units 101 in adjacent rows, and the row direction X intersects with the column direction Y. The adjacent blue pixel openings b1 are separated by green pixel openings g1 in the row direction X, and the adjacent red pixel openings r1 are separated by blue pixel openings b1 in the row direction X. The auxiliary electrodes 300 corresponding to the adjacent green pixel openings g1 and red pixel openings r1 in the column direction Y can be connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400. The orthographic projections of all the first electrode vias 601 in the pixel unit 101 on the substrate layer 100 can all fall into the virtual frame of the pixel unit 101.

[0211] It should be noted that Figure 2 The red pixel opening r1 , the blue pixel opening b1 , and the green pixel opening g1 in the pixel unit 101 are arranged in a “P” shape. Figure 2 The shape and arrangement of the pixel opening 501 shown are only for illustration and are not intended to be a specific limitation of the present application.

[0212] It should be noted that the light emitting period in the pixel unit 101 may be arranged in rows and columns, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0213] In some embodiments, the pixel driving circuit may include multiple conductive layers, and the auxiliary signal line 400 is disposed in the same layer as at least one conductive layer. It should be noted that the same-layer arrangement means that the two structures are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the thickness of the film layer is the size of the film layer in the thickness direction H. The auxiliary signal line 400 is disposed in the same layer as the conductive layer to avoid an increase in the process flow caused by the arrangement of the auxiliary signal line 400, thereby avoiding an increase in production costs.

[0214] Exemplary, reference Figure 1 , the auxiliary signal line 400 is disposed in the same layer as the first electrode 210 .

[0215] Exemplary, reference Figure 3 The pixel driving circuit includes a conductive layer where the gate electrode 611 is located and a conductive layer where the source-drain electrode 613 is located, and the auxiliary signal line 400 is arranged on the same layer as the source-drain electrode 613 .

[0216] It should be noted that if Figure 3As shown, the driving layer 600 includes multiple insulating layers, an insulating layer is arranged between the gate 611 and the active layer 6121, an insulating layer can be arranged between the source and drain electrodes 613 and the first electrode 210, and an insulating layer can be arranged between the gate 611 and the substrate layer 100. The driving layer 600 may include insulating layers of various materials, and the insulating layers may include silicon nitride, silicon oxide or organic materials, etc.

[0217] For example, Figure 4 This is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of another display panel along A1-A2 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the driving transistor 610 includes a gate 611, an active layer 612, a source-drain electrode 613, a gate signal line 614 and a connecting electrode 615. The gate signal line 614 can be used to transmit a gate signal, and the connecting electrode 615 can be used to connect the source-drain electrode 613 and the first electrode 210. The gate 611 is located on the side of the active layer 612 away from the substrate layer 100, and the driving transistor 610 is a top gate structure. The auxiliary signal line 400 is arranged in the same layer as the gate signal line 614, and the auxiliary signal line 400 and the auxiliary electrode 300 can be connected through an auxiliary connecting structure 401, and the auxiliary connecting structure 401 can be arranged in the same layer as the connecting electrode 615.

[0218] Exemplary, reference Figure 2 The auxiliary electrode 300 is disposed at one side of the pixel opening 501 , and the auxiliary electrode 300 may be located between pixel units 101 in adjacent rows.

[0219] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 300 on the substrate layer 100 at least partially surrounds the orthographic projection of the first electrode 210 on the substrate layer. Figure 5 This is a schematic partial structural diagram of another display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 300 on the substrate layer 100 partially surrounds the orthographic projection of the first electrode 210 on the substrate layer 100. The auxiliary electrode 300 partially surrounds the first electrode 210, which can enhance the electrical connection stability between the auxiliary electrode 210 and the second electrode 230.

[0220] In some examples, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The auxiliary signal lines 400 may be arranged between adjacent rows of pixel units 101. For example, the auxiliary signal lines 400 are distributed in parallel in the column direction Y, and the auxiliary signal lines 400 are alternately arranged with the pixel unit rows. The pixel unit row may be a row of pixel units or multiple rows of pixel units.

[0221] In some examples, the auxiliary signal lines 400 may also be arranged between adjacent columns of pixel units 101. For example, the auxiliary signal lines 400 are arranged in parallel in the row direction X, and the auxiliary signal lines 400 are arranged alternately with the pixel unit columns, and the pixel unit columns may be one column of pixel units or multiple columns of pixel units.

[0222] In some examples, the auxiliary signal lines 400 are disposed between adjacent rows of light emitting devices 200. For example, the auxiliary signal lines 400 are distributed in the column direction Y, and the auxiliary signal lines 400 are alternately disposed with sub-pixel rows, the light emitting devices and the pixel driving circuits may constitute sub-pixels, and the sub-pixel rows may be a row of sub-pixels or a plurality of rows of sub-pixels.

[0223] In some examples, the auxiliary signal lines 400 are disposed between adjacent columns of light emitting devices 200. For example, the auxiliary signal lines 400 are distributed in the row direction X, and the auxiliary signal lines 400 are alternately disposed with sub-pixel columns, which may be one column of sub-pixels or multiple columns of sub-pixels.

[0224] Exemplarily, the row direction and the column direction may be perpendicular to each other, that is, the row direction X and the column direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0225] In some embodiments, the pixel defining layer 500 may further include a first groove and a via hole, wherein the notch of the first groove is located on the side of the pixel defining layer 500 away from the substrate layer 100, and the first groove is located between adjacent pixel openings 501; the first groove is located between the pixel opening and the via hole, and the via hole penetrates the pixel defining layer 500 in the thickness direction H, and the auxiliary electrode 300 may penetrate the via hole, and the end of the auxiliary electrode 300 away from the substrate layer 100 is connected to the second electrode, and the end of the auxiliary electrode 300 close to the substrate layer 100 is connected to the auxiliary signal line 400. If the light emitting layer 220 is broken at the edge of the auxiliary electrode 300, and the light emitting layer 220 is broken at the edge of the first groove, then the auxiliary electrode 300 and the first groove can both play the role of isolating the light emitting layer 220 so that the second electrode 230 is connected to the auxiliary electrode 300 at the position where the light emitting layer 220 is broken, thereby achieving electrical connection.

[0226] In some examples, the break of the light-emitting layer 220 at the edge of the auxiliary electrode 300 can expose at least a portion of the sidewall of the auxiliary electrode 300 in the thickness direction H, so that the second electrode 230 can be connected to at least a portion of the sidewall of the auxiliary electrode 300 in the thickness direction H. It should be noted that the second electrode 230 can be disconnected or continuously connected at the edge of the first groove; the second electrode 230 can be disconnected or continuously at the edge of the auxiliary electrode 300, as long as the electrical connection between the second electrode 230 and the auxiliary electrode 300 can be achieved.

[0227] In some embodiments, the display panel may further include a partition layer, and the via hole may be located between the first groove and the partition layer. The partition layer is used to partition the light-emitting layer 220 and the second electrode 230, that is, the light-emitting layer 220 and the second electrode 230 may be broken at the edge of the partition layer to achieve the partition of the film layer. The provision of the partition layer can disconnect the light-emitting layers 220 of different light-emitting devices 200 in a process without FMM, and can avoid the light leakage caused by the connection between the light-emitting layers 220 of different light-emitting devices 200. The light leakage of the light-emitting layers of adjacent light-emitting devices 200 may cause pixel light mixing and reduced color purity.

[0228] In some examples, Figure 6 A schematic partial structural diagram of another display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 7 A cross-sectional structure diagram of another display panel along line A1-A2 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the pixel defining layer 500 includes a pixel opening 501, a first groove 502 and a via hole 503, and the display panel further includes a partition layer 700, which is disposed on a side of the pixel defining layer 500 away from the substrate layer 100. The via hole 503 penetrates the pixel defining layer 500 in the thickness direction H, the pixel opening 501 penetrates the pixel defining layer 500 in the thickness direction H, and the first groove 502 is disposed on a side of the pixel defining layer 500 away from the substrate layer 100, that is, the notch of the first groove 502 is located on a side of the pixel defining layer 500 away from the substrate layer 100. The first groove 502 and the via hole 503 are both disposed between the pixel opening 501 and the partition layer 700, and the via hole 503 is located between the first groove 502 and the partition layer 700. Part of the structure of the auxiliary electrode 300 in the thickness direction H is filled in the via 503 to achieve connection between the auxiliary electrode 300 and the auxiliary signal line 400 through the via 503. The end of the auxiliary electrode 300 away from the substrate layer 100 is laid on the side of the pixel defining layer 500 away from the substrate layer 100 to achieve connection with the second electrode 230.

[0229] Exemplary, reference Figure 6 The partition layer 700 covers the other regions except the pixel opening 501, the first groove 502 and the auxiliary electrode 300, and the partition layer 700 can play a better role in isolating the light-emitting layer.

[0230] In some embodiments, the auxiliary electrodes 300 correspondingly connected to the pixel units 101 in the same row are electrically connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400 , that is, the second electrodes 230 of the pixel units 101 in the same row are correspondingly connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400 .

[0231] In some embodiments, the auxiliary electrodes 300 correspondingly connected to the pixel units 101 in the same column are electrically connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400. The second electrodes 230 of the pixel units 101 in the same column are correspondingly connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400.

[0232] In some embodiments, the auxiliary electrodes 300 correspondingly connected to the light emitting devices 200 in the same row are electrically connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400; the second electrodes 230 of the light emitting devices 200 in the same row are correspondingly connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400.

[0233] In some embodiments, the auxiliary electrodes 300 correspondingly connected to the light emitting devices 200 in the same column are electrically connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400; the second electrodes 230 of the light emitting devices 200 in the same column are correspondingly connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400.

[0234] Exemplary, reference Figure 6 The auxiliary signal line 400 is arranged between the pixel units 101 in adjacent rows, and the second electrodes of the light emitting devices on both sides of the auxiliary signal line 400 in the column direction Y are connected to the auxiliary signal line 400. According to the arrangement of the light emitting devices in the pixel unit 101, the blue light emitting device and the red light emitting device in one pixel unit 101 can be connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400. Figure 6 It is only for illustration and is not intended to be a specific limitation of the embodiments of the present application.

[0235] It should be noted that the connection method between the second electrode and the auxiliary signal line can be set according to the specific arrangement method of the light-emitting device and the auxiliary signal line.

[0236] In some embodiments, in the direction in which the pixel opening 501 points to the first groove 502, the diameter of the first groove 502 at the end away from the substrate layer 100 is smaller than the diameter of the first groove 502 at the end close to the substrate layer 100; in the direction in which the pixel opening 501 points to the isolation layer 700, the size of the isolation layer 700 at the end away from the substrate layer 100 is larger than the size of the isolation layer 700 at the end close to the substrate layer 100.

[0237] Exemplary, reference Figure 7, the direction from the pixel opening 501 to the first groove 502 is the reference direction L, and the direction from the pixel opening 501 to the partition layer 700 is also the reference direction L. Since the pixel opening 501 is a closed shape, the reference direction L is not unique. In the reference direction L, the diameter of the first groove 502 at the end away from the substrate layer 100 is the first diameter L1, and the diameter of the first groove 502 at the end close to the substrate layer 100 is the second diameter L2. The first diameter L1 is smaller than the second diameter L2. The first groove 502 is wide at the top and wide at the bottom, so that the edge of the first groove 502 is partitioned by the light-emitting layer 220. The dimension of the partition layer 700 at the end away from the substrate layer 100 is the third outer diameter L3, and the dimension of the partition layer 700 at the end close to the substrate layer 100 is the fourth outer diameter L4. The third outer diameter L3 is larger than the fourth outer diameter L4. The partition layer 700 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, so that the light-emitting layer 220 can be better partitioned to achieve light isolation between light-emitting devices.

[0238] In some embodiments, Figure 8 A cross-sectional structure diagram of another display panel along A1-A2 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 The distance between the surface of the auxiliary electrode 300 away from the substrate layer 100 and the substrate layer 100 is a first distance H1, and the distance between the bottom of the first groove 502 and the substrate layer 100 is a second distance H2. The first distance H1 is greater than the second distance H2, that is, the upper surface of the auxiliary electrode 300 exceeds the notch of the first groove 502, which can ensure the isolation effect between the edge of the auxiliary electrode 300 and the edge of the first groove 502.

[0239] In some examples, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the orthographic projection of the partition layer 700 on the substrate layer 100 surrounds the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 501 on the substrate layer 100. The orthographic projection of the partition layer 700 on the substrate layer 100 at least partially surrounds the orthographic projection of the first groove 502 on the substrate layer 100; the orthographic projection of the partition layer 700 on the substrate layer 100 at least partially surrounds the orthographic projection of the via 503 on the substrate layer 100.

[0240] refer to Figure 8 The difference between the second distance H2 and the first distance H1 is the third distance H3, the depth of the first groove 502 in the thickness direction H of the pixel defining layer 500 is the fourth distance H4, and the third distance H3 is greater than the fourth distance H4, which ensures that the upper surface of the auxiliary electrode 300 exceeds the notch of the first groove 502.

[0241] refer to Figure 8In the thickness direction H, the thickness of the partition layer 700 is greater than the groove depth of the first groove 502, and the thickness of the partition layer 700 is a first thickness H01. The first thickness H01 is greater than the fourth distance H4, which can ensure that the partition layer 700 effectively isolates the light-emitting layer 220 and can even isolate the second electrode 230.

[0242] refer to Figure 8 The distance between the surface of the partition layer 700 away from the substrate layer 100 and the substrate layer 100 is a fifth distance H5, and the fifth distance H5 is greater than the first distance H1, that is, the upper surface of the partition layer 700 exceeds the upper surface of the auxiliary electrode 300, ensuring the film thickness step difference between the auxiliary electrode 300 and the partition layer 700, so as to achieve a better effect of isolating the light-emitting layer.

[0243] In some examples, Fig. 9 A schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a display panel along A1-A2 provided in an embodiment of the present application, referring to Fig. 9 , the light-emitting layer 220 is disposed at the pixel opening 501, the second electrode 230 is also disposed at the pixel opening 501, and the second electrode 230 and the auxiliary electrode 300 can be connected through the first groove 502. The first groove 502 can be used to break the light-emitting layer 220 at the edge of the first groove 502; the partition layer 700 is used to break the light-emitting layer 220 at the edge of the partition layer 700, and the partition layer 700 is used to break the second electrode 230 at the edge of the partition layer 700. The function of the partition layer 700 can be to separate the light-emitting layer 220 so that the light-emitting layer 220 between adjacent light-emitting devices 200 is disconnected to avoid light crosstalk between adjacent light-emitting devices 200. In order to ensure that the light-emitting layer 220 is disconnected more thoroughly on the isolation layer 700, the isolation layer 700 usually has a large step difference with the adjacent film layer, and the step difference of the side wall of the isolation layer 700 in the rear direction H is sufficient, which will cause the second electrode 230 to break at the edge of the isolation layer 700. The break of the second electrode 230 requires the auxiliary electrode 300 to provide the required driving signal on the second electrode 230. In some examples, each light-emitting device 200 can be correspondingly provided with at least one auxiliary electrode 300 to ensure that the second electrode 230 receives the corresponding driving signal to achieve normal light emission of the light-emitting device.

[0244] In some examples, the first groove 502 is used to electrically connect at least part of the sidewall of the auxiliary electrode 300 in the thickness direction H to the second electrode 230. At least part of the end surface of the auxiliary electrode 300 close to the first groove 502 is connected to at least part of the end surface of the first groove 502 close to the auxiliary electrode 300, and at least part of the inner wall of the first groove 502 can be connected to at least part of the end surface of the auxiliary electrode 300, which can strengthen the step difference between the bottom of the first groove 502 and the upper surface of the auxiliary electrode 300, and can better isolate the light-emitting layer 220. The light-emitting layer 220 is broken at the connected section to expose at least part of the sidewall of the auxiliary electrode 300, and the sidewall of the auxiliary electrode 300 exposed by the broken light-emitting layer 220 can be used to connect with the second electrode 230.

[0245] Exemplary, reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The inner wall of the first groove 502 near the auxiliary electrode 300 is connected to the end face of the auxiliary electrode 300 near the first groove 502. During the setting process of the light-emitting layer 220, part of the light-emitting layer 220 falls into the first groove 502, and part of the light-emitting layer 220 is set on the side of the auxiliary electrode 300 away from the substrate layer 100, and the light-emitting layer 220 is broken at the junction of the first groove 502 and the auxiliary electrode 300, and the side wall of the auxiliary electrode 300 in the thickness direction H is exposed. The second electrode 230 is connected to the exposed side wall of the auxiliary electrode 300, so that the electrical connection between the second electrode 230 and the auxiliary electrode 300 can be achieved.

[0246] In some examples, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the inner wall of the first groove 502 is not flush with the side wall of the auxiliary electrode 300, that is, the inner wall of the first groove 502 is not coplanar with the side wall of the auxiliary electrode 300, and the bottom of the first groove 502 is expanded outward to enhance the film isolation effect.

[0247] In some examples, at least part of the end surface of the auxiliary electrode 300 near the first groove 502 is flush with at least part of the end surface of the first groove 502 near the auxiliary electrode 300. The flush end surfaces can enhance the fracture of the film layer, and the first groove 502 can be obtained using the auxiliary electrode 300 as a mask during the preparation process.

[0248] For example, Fig. 9As shown, the light-emitting layer 220 is broken at the edge of the partition layer 700, and the second electrode 230 is broken at the edge of the partition layer 700. The light-emitting layer 220 includes a red light-emitting layer r2, a green light-emitting layer g2, and a blue light-emitting layer. The red light-emitting layer r2 is partially arranged at the red pixel opening r1, the green light-emitting layer g2 is partially arranged at the green pixel opening g1, and the blue light-emitting layer is partially arranged at the blue pixel opening b1. The red light-emitting device corresponding to the red light-emitting layer r2 and the green light-emitting device corresponding to the green light-emitting layer g2 are separated by the partition layer 700, and the partition layer 700 can separate the red light-emitting layer r2 and the green light-emitting layer g2.

[0249] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, a portion of the red light-emitting layer r2 and a portion of the green light-emitting layer g2 are provided on the side of the partition layer 700 away from the substrate layer 100. The red light-emitting layer r2 and the green light-emitting layer g2 can be prepared independently by different process flows, and the FFM can be removed to obtain a patterned red light-emitting layer r2, a green light-emitting layer g2 and a blue light-emitting layer, thereby obtaining independent red light-emitting devices, green light-emitting devices and blue light-emitting devices.

[0250] Illustratively, in the preparation process of the display panel, the red light-emitting layer r2 and the second electrode 230 may be arranged in an entire layer first, and the red light-emitting layer r2 outside the area where the red light-emitting device is located may be etched away through an etching process to obtain a red light-emitting device; the green light-emitting layer g2 and the second electrode 230 may be arranged in an entire layer, and the green light-emitting layer g2 in the area outside the green light-emitting device may be etched away through an etching process to obtain a green light-emitting device; the blue light-emitting layer and the second electrode 230 may be arranged in an entire layer, and the blue light-emitting layer in the area outside the blue light-emitting device may be etched away through an etching process to obtain a blue light-emitting device. The boundary between adjacent light-emitting devices may fall on the boundary of the partition layer 700, and the boundary between adjacent light-emitting layers of different colors may fall on the edge of the partition layer 700, or may fall within the area where the partition layer 700 is located. Illustratively, refer to Fig. 9 The second electrode 230 on the side of the partition layer 700 away from the substrate layer 100 is obtained by different film forming processes and etching processes.

[0251] The display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application can isolate the light-emitting layer by setting the isolation layer 700, so as to realize the independent setting of the light-emitting device without using the FFM. The cancellation of the FFM can eliminate the need to consider the influence of the graphic accuracy on the FFM on the arrangement density of the light-emitting device, and can improve the resolution of the display panel. By setting the auxiliary electrode 300 and the auxiliary signal line 400 to provide the second electrode 230 with a driving signal, it can be ensured that the second electrode 230 isolated by the isolation layer 700 stably receives the corresponding driving signal.

[0252] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 300 on the substrate layer 100 at least partially surrounds the orthographic projection of the second electrode 230 on the substrate layer. Figure 5 and Fig. 9 Since the second electrode 230 is broken at the edge of the isolation layer 700, the auxiliary electrode 300 connected to the red light-emitting device can partially surround the second electrode 230 of the green light-emitting device; similarly, the auxiliary electrode 300 connected to the green light-emitting device can partially surround the second electrode 230 of the blue light-emitting device; the auxiliary electrode 300 connected to the blue light-emitting device can partially surround the second electrode 230 of the red light-emitting device and partially surround the second electrode 230 of the green light-emitting device.

[0253] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 300 on the substrate layer 100 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second electrode 230 on the substrate layer 100. The second electrode 230 above the auxiliary electrode 300 may be etched away by etching, leaving only the sidewall of the auxiliary electrode 300 connected to the second electrode 230, so that the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 300 may not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second electrode 230.

[0254] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 300 on the substrate layer 100 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first electrode 210 on the substrate layer 100. Fig. 9 The auxiliary electrode 300 is separated from the first electrode 210 by a first groove 502, or the auxiliary electrode 300 is separated from the first electrode 210 by a partition layer 700. The projection of the auxiliary electrode 300 in the thickness direction H does not overlap with the projection of the first electrode 210 in the rear direction H, which can facilitate the connection between the auxiliary electrode 300 and the auxiliary signal line 400. No matter which conductive layer the auxiliary signal line is arranged on, it will not be short-circuited with the first electrode 210, and a certain distance of insulation is maintained to avoid crosstalk between signals.

[0255] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 300 on the substrate layer 100 partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode 210 on the substrate layer 100. The projection of the end of the auxiliary electrode 300 away from the substrate layer 100 in the thickness direction H may partially overlap with the projection of the first electrode 210, and the partial overlap may exist while ensuring that the auxiliary electrode 300 is insulated from the first electrode 210.

[0256] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the partition layer 700 on the substrate layer 100 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the auxiliary electrode 300 on the substrate layer 100. Fig. 9, the orthographic projections of the partition layer 700 and the auxiliary electrode 300 in the thickness direction H do not overlap. The first groove 502, the auxiliary electrode 300 and the partition layer 700 can each play an independent film partitioning role, and the film partitioning roles do not affect each other.

[0257] In some embodiments, the light emitting device 200 further includes multiple light emitting auxiliary layers, at least one of which is disposed on the side of the light emitting layer 220 away from the substrate layer 100. At least one light emitting auxiliary layer is disposed on the side of the light emitting layer 220 close to the substrate layer 100.

[0258] It should be noted that due to the setting of the first groove 502 and the partition layer 700, the light-emitting layer 220 and the light-emitting auxiliary layer will be isolated, then the light-emitting layer 220 corresponding to the effective light-emitting area can be used as an effective light-emitting layer, or the light-emitting layer 220 used to emit light under the drive of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 can be called an effective light-emitting layer, and the isolated light-emitting layer 220 is only connected to the second electrode 230 and cannot emit light. The disconnected light-emitting layer cannot emit light and can be regarded as an invalid light-emitting layer, and the effective light-emitting layer is a light-emitting layer used for emitting light. Similarly, the part of the light-emitting auxiliary layer connected to the effective light-emitting layer can be used as an effective light-emitting auxiliary layer, and the effective light-emitting auxiliary layer is a light-emitting auxiliary layer used for the light-emitting auxiliary layer to emit light.

[0259] Exemplarily, the light-emitting auxiliary layer may include an electron transport layer, an electron generating layer, an electron blocking layer, a hole transport layer, a hole injection layer and a hole blocking layer. The electron generating layer, the electron transport layer and the electron blocking layer may be arranged between the second electrode 230 and the light-emitting layer 220, the electron generating layer is arranged close to the second electrode 230, the electron blocking layer is arranged close to the light-emitting layer, and the electron transport layer is arranged between the electron generating layer and the electron blocking layer. The hole injection layer, the hole transport layer and the hole blocking layer may be arranged between the first electrode 210 and the light-emitting layer 220, the hole injection layer is arranged close to the first electrode 210, the hole blocking layer is arranged close to the light-emitting layer 220, and the hole transport layer is located between the hole injection layer and the hole blocking layer.

[0260] For example, Fig.10 This is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of another display panel along A1-A2 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.10 As shown, the light-emitting auxiliary layer includes a first light-emitting auxiliary layer 240 and a second light-emitting auxiliary layer 250, the first light-emitting auxiliary layer 240 is located between the first electrode 210 and the light-emitting layer 220, and the second light-emitting auxiliary layer 250 is located between the second electrode 230 and the light-emitting layer 220. The first light-emitting auxiliary layer 240 may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer and a hole blocking layer, and the second light-emitting auxiliary layer 250 may include an electron generation layer, an electron transport layer and an electron blocking layer.

[0261] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the edge of at least one effective light-emitting auxiliary layer and the auxiliary electrode 300 is the sixth distance, the minimum distance between the edge of the effective light-emitting layer and the auxiliary electrode 300 is the seventh distance, and the sixth distance is greater than the seventh distance. The edge of the effective light-emitting auxiliary layer is retracted relative to the edge of the effective light-emitting layer, which can reduce the signal interference of the auxiliary electrode 300 on the light-emitting auxiliary layer. For example, the hole injection layer is more sensitive to electrical signals and is easily interfered by the electrical signals on the auxiliary electrode 300. Therefore, the hole injection layer can be far away from the auxiliary electrode 300 relative to the light-emitting layer 220. The edges of different light-emitting auxiliary layers can be retracted relative to the edges of the light-emitting layer according to material properties.

[0262] Exemplary, reference Fig.10 , both the first light-emitting auxiliary layer 240 and the second light-emitting auxiliary layer 250 can serve as effective light-emitting auxiliary layers, and the edge of the first light-emitting auxiliary layer 240 can be flush with the edge of the second light-emitting auxiliary layer 250. The edge of the first light-emitting auxiliary layer 240 may or may not be flush with the edge of the second light-emitting auxiliary layer 250, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application. The distance between the edge of the first light-emitting auxiliary layer 240 and the edge of the auxiliary electrode 300 is the sixth distance L6, and the distance between the edge of the effective light-emitting layer 201 and the auxiliary electrode 300 is the seventh distance L7. If the sixth distance L6 is greater than the seventh distance L7, the edge of the first light-emitting auxiliary layer 240 is retracted relative to the edge of the effective light-emitting layer 201, which can avoid the first light-emitting auxiliary layer 240 being too close to the auxiliary electrode 300 and causing signal interference.

[0263] For example, Fig.10 As shown, the first light-emitting auxiliary layer 240 and the second light-emitting auxiliary layer 250 are directly or indirectly disposed on the inner wall of the pixel opening 501 , which can increase the contact area with the effective light-emitting layer 201 and increase the light-emitting area.

[0264] In some embodiments, at least part of the sidewall of the partition layer 700 in the thickness direction H includes a first sidewall segment and a second sidewall segment, the first sidewall segment is away from the substrate layer 100 relative to the second sidewall segment; the orthographic projection of the side surface of the partition layer 700 corresponding to the first sidewall segment on the substrate layer 100 is the first projection, and the orthographic projection of the side surface of the partition layer 700 corresponding to the second sidewall segment on the substrate layer is the second projection, and the first projection surrounds the second projection. The first projection and the second projection can be lines, and the first projection surrounding the second projection corresponds to the second sidewall segment being inwardly contracted relative to the first sidewall segment, that is, forming the partition layer 700 to be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. It should be noted that the top in the embodiment of the present application refers to the direction away from the substrate layer 100, and the bottom refers to the direction close to the substrate layer 100.

[0265] For example, Fig.11This is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of another display panel along A1-A2 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.11 As shown, the second side wall segment 702 of the partition layer 700 is retracted relative to the first side wall segment 701 , so as to better partition the light emitting layer 220 .

[0266] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes an encapsulation layer, which is disposed on a side of the second electrode 230 away from the substrate layer 100. The encapsulation layer is used to protect the light-emitting device from being corroded by external water samples, and the encapsulation layer can protect the second electrode 230, the light-emitting layer 220, the first electrode 210, and the like.

[0267] In some examples, such as Fig.11 As shown, the encapsulation layer 800 is disposed on a side of the second electrode 230 away from the substrate layer 100, and the encapsulation layer 800 may include a first inorganic encapsulation layer 810, an organic encapsulation layer 820, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer 830. The organic encapsulation layer 820 is located between the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 830, and the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810 is located between the second electrode 230 and the organic encapsulation layer 820. The thickness of the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 830 are both less than the thickness of the organic encapsulation layer 820. The organic encapsulation layer 820 may be prepared by an IJP (inkjet printing) process, and the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 830 may be prepared by a conventional chemical vapor deposition process.

[0268] In some examples, such as Fig.11 As shown, in the process of preparing the red light-emitting device, the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810 can be prepared after the second electrode 230, and before preparing the green light-emitting device, the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810 can be etched away in the corresponding area, and the second electrode 230 of the red light-emitting device can be protected by the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810 during the etching process. After all the light-emitting devices are prepared, the organic encapsulation layer 820 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 830 are set.

[0269] In some examples, such as Fig.11 As shown, the first groove 502 may be provided with a portion of the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810, the gap formed between the broken light-emitting layer 220 and the partition layer 700 may be filled with the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810, the gap between the broken second electrode 230 and the side wall of the partition layer 700 may be filled with the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810, and the gap between the broken second electrode 230 and the side wall of the partition layer 700 may also be filled with a portion of the organic encapsulation layer 820. A portion of the second sidewall segment 702 may be connected to the first inorganic encapsulation layer 810, and a portion of the second sidewall segment 702 may be connected to the organic encapsulation layer 820.

[0270] In some examples, Fig.12A schematic partial structural diagram of another display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.12 FIG. 4 is a schematic partial top view of the display panel from the side where the encapsulation layer is located; Fig.13 This is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a display panel along B1-B2 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.12 As shown, the boundary 703 of the partition layer 700 surrounds the pixel opening 501. Fig.13 As shown, at least part of the sidewall of the partition layer 700 in the thickness direction H includes a protruding structure 704, and the protruding structure 704 is disposed at one end of the sidewall of the partition layer 700 away from the substrate layer 100. Fig.11 and Fig.13 The raised surface of the raised structure 704 can be used as the first side wall segment 701 , and the setting of the raised structure 704 can realize the setting of the side surface of the isolation layer 700 to be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

[0271] For example, Fig.12 As shown, the red light emitting device R and the green light emitting device G on both sides of the auxiliary signal line 400 are connected to the auxiliary signal line 400. The blue light emitting device B and the red light emitting device R in the same pixel unit are connected to the same auxiliary signal line 400. Each light emitting device is connected to an auxiliary signal line 400, and the light emitting devices are connected to the auxiliary signal lines 400 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0272] Exemplary, reference Fig.12 , the edge of the light emitting layer 220 and the second electrode 230 separated by the partition layer 700 falls outside the pixel opening 501. Fig.13 , the edge of the light emitting layer 220 and the second electrode 230 separated by the partition layer 700 falls within the pixel opening 501 .

[0273] In some embodiments, the pixel defining layer 500 further includes a second groove, which is disposed between the pixel opening 501 and the isolation layer 700; the notch of the second groove is located on the side of the pixel defining layer 500 away from the substrate layer 100, and the inner wall of the second groove is connected to the side wall of the isolation layer 700 in the thickness direction H. The provision of the second groove can increase the film layer step difference between the isolation layer 700 and the pixel defining layer 500, and can enhance the isolation effect on the light emitting layer 220.

[0274] In some examples, Fig.14 This is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of another display panel along B1-B2 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0275] In some examples, such as Fig.14 As shown, the groove depth of the second groove 504 in the thickness direction H is an eighth distance H8, the thickness of the pixel defining layer 500 in the thickness direction H is a ninth distance H9, and the ratio of the eighth distance H8 to the ninth distance may range from 1 / 10 to 1 / 4, for example, 1 / 5, 1 / 7, 1 / 8, or 1 / 9, etc. Exemplarily, the groove depth of the second groove 504 in the thickness direction H may range from 0.1 to 0.5 microns, for example, 0.25, 0.3, 0.37, 0.45, or 0.47 microns, etc.

[0276] In some examples, Fig.15 This is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of another display panel along B1-B2 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.15 As shown, the orthographic projection of the second groove 504 on the substrate layer 100 surrounds the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 501 on the substrate layer 100.

[0277] In some examples, such as Fig.15 As shown, a portion of the first inorganic packaging layer 810 is disposed in the second groove 504 .

[0278] In some embodiments, the pixel defining layer 500 may include a fourth groove, the notch of the fourth groove is located on the side of the pixel defining layer 500 away from the substrate layer 100, and the fourth groove is disposed between adjacent pixel openings 501; the partitioning layer 700 includes a third opening, the third opening penetrates the partitioning layer 700, and the orthographic projection of the third opening on the substrate layer 100 covers the orthographic projection of the fourth groove on the substrate layer 100.
