[0082] In a display panel 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application, the display panel 10 includes an array substrate 100, a first electrode layer 200, a touch electrode 220, an insulating layer 12, a light-emitting layer 400, and a conductive layer 11. The first electrode layer 200 is disposed on one side of the array substrate 100 and includes a first electrode 210. The insulating layer 12 is disposed on one side of the array substrate 100. The insulating layer 12 includes a pixel defining portion 302 and a pixel opening 303 defined by the pixel defining portion 302. The orthographic projection of the first electrode 210 on the array substrate 100 is at least partially overlapped with the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 303 on the array substrate 100. Specifically, it can be referred to that the orthographic projection of the first electrode 210 on the array substrate 100 can at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the wall of the pixel opening 303 enclosed by the insulating layer 12 on the array substrate 100. The first electrode 210 can be exposed by the pixel opening 303, and the pixel defining portion 302 can be used to divide the sub-pixels of the display panel 10. By arranging the touch electrode 220 and the first electrode 210 in the same layer, it is not necessary to arrange an additional layer structure to arrange the touch electrode 220, so that the display panel 10 can have a smaller thickness. In addition, the touch electrode 220 and the first electrode 210 are arranged in the same layer, so that the touch electrode 220 and the first electrode 210 can be prepared in the same process step, thereby simplifying the preparation process of the display panel 10 and improving the preparation efficiency of the display panel 10.
[0083] By opening a penetrating through hole 11a on the conductive layer 11, and arranging at least part of the through hole 11a on the side of the touch electrode 220 away from the array substrate 100, the capacitance generated by the touch electrode 220 can be better affected by the external conductor through the through hole 11a, that is, the conductive layer 11 is not easy to interfere with the capacitance generated by the touch electrode 220, so that the touch electrode 220 can realize touch operation, thereby better improving the touch reliability of the display panel 10.
[0084] Optionally, at least part of the light emitting portion 410 may be located in the pixel opening 303. The light emitting portion 410 may include a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), a light emitting structure, an electron injection layer (EIL) and an electron transport layer (ETL).
[0085] Optionally, the conductive layer 11 may be disposed on a side of at least one of the light emitting portion 410 and the pixel defining portion 302 away from the array substrate 100. Optionally, the conductive layer 11 may include a second electrode layer 500, and the second electrode layer 500 may include a second electrode 510 located on a side of the light emitting portion 410 away from the first electrode 210.
[0086] In these optional embodiments, one of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 510 is used as an anode and the other is used as a cathode to drive the light emitting portion 410 to emit light. In the embodiment of the present application, the first electrode 210 is used as the anode of the display panel 10 and the second electrode 510 is used as the cathode of the display panel 10 for illustration.
[0087] In some optional embodiments, the second electrode layer 500 may be provided with a through hole 11a so that the capacitance generated by the touch electrode 220 can be better affected by the external conductor through the through hole 11a, that is, the second electrode layer 500 is not easy to interfere with the capacitance generated by the touch electrode 220, so as to facilitate the touch electrode 220 to achieve touch operation.
[0088] In some optional embodiments, at least part of the pixel defining portion 302 is disposed between the first electrode 210 and the touch electrode 220 to prevent short circuit between the first electrode 210 and the touch electrode 220 , thereby improving the touch reliability of the display panel 10 .
[0089] Optionally, the first electrode 210 may be exposed from the pixel opening 303 , so as to facilitate the contact between the first electrode 210 and the light emitting portion 410 and drive the light emitting portion 410 to emit light.
[0090] Optionally, at least part of the pixel defining portion 302 is disposed on a side of the touch electrode 220 away from the array substrate 100 , so that the touch electrode 220 is unlikely to be short-circuited with the second electrode 510 , thereby improving the touch reliability of the display panel 10 .
[0091] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the touch electrode 220 on the array substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the pixel defining portion 302 on the array substrate 100, so that the pixel defining portion 302 can be better covered on the side of the touch electrode 220 facing away from the array substrate 100, so as to reduce the interference of various devices of the sub-pixels in the display panel 10 on the operation of the touch electrode 220, thereby further improving the working reliability of the touch electrode 220.
[0092] In these optional embodiments, the insulating layer 12 may be disposed on the side of the first electrode layer 200 facing away from the array substrate 100 to serve as a pixel definition layer of the display panel 10, that is, at least a portion of the light-emitting portion 410 and the second electrode 510 may be located within the pixel opening, and at least a portion of the first electrode 210 may be exposed from the pixel opening to contact the light-emitting portion 410, thereby realizing the light-emitting display of the display panel 10.
[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, at least part of the through hole 11a is located on the side of the touch electrode 220 facing away from the array substrate 100, which may mean that the orthographic projection of the touch electrode 220 on the array substrate 100 may at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the through hole 11a on the array substrate 100. Specifically, it may mean that the orthographic projection of the touch electrode 220 on the array substrate 100 may at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the wall portion of the conductive layer 11 that encloses the through hole 11a on the array substrate 100, so that part of the capacitance of the touch electrode 220 is not easily shielded by the conductive layer 11 and passes through the through hole 11a, so as to be changed by the influence of an external conductor, thereby realizing the touch function of the display panel 10.
[0094] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a second electrode layer 500 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a second electrode layer 500 according to another embodiment of the present application.
[0095] When the second electrode layer 500 is provided with through holes 11a, in some embodiments of the present application, the through holes 11a have various shapes and arrangements. Figure 2 As shown, the number of through holes 11a can be multiple, at least some of the through holes 11a are arranged at intervals, and / or, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, at least a portion of the through hole 11 a is disposed around at least a portion of the pixel opening 303 .
[0096] like Figure 2 As shown, when multiple through holes 11a are arranged at intervals, at least part of the second electrode 510 above some adjacent pixel openings 303 can be connected at a position between two adjacent through holes 11a, so that at least part of the second electrode 510 above some adjacent pixel openings 303 can be connected to each other to form a surface electrode, so as to facilitate the control of the second electrode 510.
[0097] like Figure 3 As shown, when the through hole 11a is arranged around at least a portion of the pixel opening 303, the through hole 11a can have a larger size, so as to further facilitate the capacitance generated by the touch electrode 220 to be better affected by the external conductor through the through hole 11a, thereby further improving the touch reliability of the display panel 10.
[0098] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the display panel 10 may include at least two light-emitting subareas 10b, and at least part of the through holes 11a may be arranged around at least part of the light-emitting subareas 10b.

[0134] Optionally, the material of the connecting part 320 includes a conductive material, and the connecting part 320 can be reused as at least a portion of the conductive part 301 of the isolation structure 300. The connecting part 320 can be provided with a through hole 11a, wherein the through hole 11a can be set through the connecting part 320, so that the capacitance generated by the touch electrode 220 can be better affected by the external conductor through the through hole 11a, thereby further improving the touch reliability of the display panel 10.
[0135] In these optional embodiments, by providing a connecting portion 320 under the isolation portion 310 , the overlap between the second electrode 510 and the isolation structure 300 can be facilitated, and the overlap area between the second electrode 510 and the isolation structure 300 can be improved to further reduce the resistance of the display panel 10 .
[0136] In some optional embodiments, the material of the touch electrode 220 may be the same as that of the first electrode 210 , so that the touch electrode 220 can be prepared in the same process step and using the same processing equipment as the first electrode 210 , thereby simplifying the preparation process of the display panel 10 and improving the preparation efficiency of the display panel 10 .
[0137] In some embodiments of the present application, by setting the orthographic projection of the touch electrode 220 on the array substrate 100 to be within the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 300 on the array substrate 100, the touch electrode 220 can be used to raise the height of the isolation structure 300, so as to improve the effect of the isolation structure 300 on dividing the sub-pixels of the display panel 10. In addition, the isolation structure 300 can better divide the sub-pixels of the display panel 10 without setting an excessively high height, so that the display panel 10 can have a smaller thickness.
[0138] Fig. 9 It is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a pixel defining portion 302 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0139] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, optionally, the pixel defining portion 302 may be in a grid shape, and the hollowed-out area in the grid-shaped pixel defining portion 302 may be a pixel opening 303. Optionally, the isolation structure 300 may be in a grid shape, and the hollowed-out area in the grid-shaped isolation structure 300 may be an isolation opening 300a.
[0140] There are many ways to set the size and arrangement shape of each pixel opening 303. Optionally, the size and arrangement shape of each pixel opening 303 can be set according to the luminous color of the luminous portion 410 in the pixel opening 303. For example, the pixel opening 303 may include a first opening 303a, a second opening 303b and a third opening 303c. The first opening 303a is provided with a luminous portion 410 for emitting blue light, the second opening 303b is provided with a luminous portion 410 for emitting red light, and the third opening 303c is provided with a luminous portion 410 for emitting green light.

[0142] In some embodiments of the present application, the display panel 10 may be a display panel 10 that implements touch positioning based on a self-capacitive touch architecture, that is, the touch electrode 220 may be specifically used as an electrode for excitation and detection. When a finger as a conductor touches the display panel 10, the capacitance on the touch electrode 220 increases, so that identification and positioning can be performed through capacitance changes, thereby realizing touch display of the display panel 10.
[0143] For example, when a finger as a conductor touches the display panel 10, the touch electrode 220 will be affected by the finger to derive a portion of the charge, thereby causing a capacitance change. Wherein, Cp is the parasitic capacitance between the touch electrode 220 and the ground, and Cf is the inductive capacitance between the inductive electrode and the ground generated by the human body when the finger touches. When the finger as a conductor touches the display panel 10, it is equivalent to Cp and Cf being connected in parallel, so that the parasitic capacitance = Cp + Cf, that is, the parasitic capacitance increases, so that the recognition and positioning can be performed through the capacitance change, thereby realizing the touch display of the display panel 10.
[0144] By setting the touch electrode 220, it can be specifically used as an electrode for excitation and detection, that is, the display panel 10 is a display panel 10 that realizes touch positioning based on a self-capacitive touch architecture, so that there is no need to set corresponding driving electrodes for excitation and receiving electrodes for detection on the display panel 10, and only the touch electrode 220 needs to be set to realize the touch function of the display panel 10, so that there is no need to set too many layer structures to arrange the electrodes for the touch function, so that the display panel 10 can have a smaller thickness.

When the source-drain conductive portion 161b is connected to the active layer 161c through the source-drain electrode 161d, the source-drain electrode 161d of the transistor may be located between the second interlayer insulating layer 130 and the third interlayer insulating layer 140, and the source-drain conductive portion 161b may be located between the third interlayer insulating layer 140 and the fourth interlayer insulating layer 140.

[0161] Optionally, the array substrate 100 may include a plurality of touch signal lines 163, each of which is connected to each sub-electrode 221 through a via. The touch signal line 163 may be used to conduct a touch signal, for example, the touch signal line 163 may be used to transmit a touch drive signal to the sub-electrode 221, or to receive a touch detection signal from the sub-electrode 221, so as to realize the touch function of the display panel 10.
[0162] In some embodiments, the number of sub-electrodes 221 may be the same as the number of touch signal lines 163, that is, the touch signal of one sub-electrode 221 may be connected by only one touch signal line 163. In other embodiments, the number of touch signal lines 163 may be greater than the number of sub-electrodes 221, that is, the touch signal of one sub-electrode 221 may be connected by multiple touch signal lines 163, and the touch signal lines 163 connected to the same sub-electrode 221 may be connected in parallel to each other, thereby reducing the resistance when the touch signal is transmitted.
[0163] In the embodiment of the present application, the touch signal line 163 may be disposed in any layer structure between the transistor 161 and the touch electrode 220 in the array substrate 100 .
[0164] Optionally, the touch signal line 163 may be disposed in the same layer as the source-drain conductive portion 161 b . For example, the touch signal line 163 may be located between the third interlayer insulating layer 140 and the fourth interlayer insulating layer 150 .
[0165] The insulating layer 12 is optional, and the first electrode 210 can be connected to the active layer 161c of the transistor 161 through the source-drain conductive portion 161b. Optionally, the first electrode 210 and the source-drain conductive portion 161b are connected through a via.
[0166] Fig.142 is a schematic diagram of the connection between a sub-electrode 221 and a touch detection circuit 600 according to an embodiment of the present application. In order to facilitate the display of the sub-electrode 221 in the figure, the structure of each sub-electrode 211 is simplified to a block structure.
[0167] like Fig.14 As shown, optionally, at least a portion of the touch signal line 163 is extended along the first direction Y, and / or at least a portion of the touch signal line 163 is extended along the second direction Z.
[0168] In these optional embodiments, by setting the touch signal line 163 between the transistor 161 and the touch electrode 220, the layout of the touch signal line 163 is not easily interfered by the device arranged in the array substrate 100 for driving the display panel 10 to emit light and display, thereby improving the convenience of arranging the touch signal line 163 and making it less likely for the touch signal and the driving signal line to interfere with each other.
[0169] The embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides a display device, and the display device includes the display panel 10 of any embodiment of the first aspect. Since the display device provided by the embodiment of the second aspect of the present application includes the display panel 10 of any embodiment of the first aspect, the display device provided by the embodiment of the second aspect of the present application has the beneficial effects of the display panel 10 of any embodiment of the first aspect, which will not be repeated here.
[0170] The display device in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablet computers, e-books, televisions, access control systems, smart landline phones, consoles, and other devices with display functions.
[0171] like Fig.14 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the display device may further include a touch detection circuit 600, and the sub-electrode 221 is connected to the touch detection circuit 600 via a touch signal line 163, and the touch detection circuit 600 is used to detect the capacitance between the sub-electrode 221 and the ground when the target body contacts the touch area 10a.
[0172] Optionally, the touch detection circuit 600 includes a signal generating module and a capacitance detection module, the signal generating module is used to provide a touch driving signal to the sub-electrode 221 , and the capacitance detection module is used to receive a touch detection signal transmitted from the sub-electrode 221 .
[0173] In these optional embodiments, the touch detection circuit 600 can obtain the capacitance change at each sub-electrode 221 through the touch signal line 163. For example, when a finger touches a touch area 10a of the display panel 10 as a conductor, the capacitance on the sub-electrode 221 of the touch area 10a increases, so that the touch detection circuit 600 can identify and locate the finger touch position by detecting the capacitance change of the sub-electrode 221 of the touch area 10a, thereby enabling the display device to realize the touch function.

Obviously, many modifications and changes can be made based on the above description.
