[0051] Unless otherwise required by the context, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third-person singular form "comprises" and the present participle form "comprising", are interpreted as open and inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example" or "some examples" etc. are intended to indicate that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics related to the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure.

In addition, the described specific features, structures, materials or characteristics can be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.
[0052] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.
[0053] "At least one of A, B, and C" has the same meaning as "at least one of A, B, or C", and both include the following combinations of A, B, and C: only A, only B, only C, the combination of A and B, the combination of A and C, the combination of B and C, and the combination of A, B, and C.
[0054] As used herein, the use of "configured to" implies open and inclusive language, which does not exclude devices that are suitable for or configured to perform additional tasks or steps.
[0055] Additionally, the use of "based on" implies open and inclusiveness, because a process, step, calculation, or other action "based on" one or more of the stated conditions or values may in practice be based on additional conditions or values beyond those stated.
[0056] As used herein, "substantially" or "approximately" includes the stated value and the average value within an acceptable deviation range of the specific value, where the acceptable deviation range is determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art considering the measurement being discussed and the errors associated with the measurement of the specific quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).

"The vertical projection of A completely overlaps with the vertical projection of B" means that the boundary of the vertical projection of A substantially coincides with the boundary of the vertical projection of B. "The vertical projection of A partially overlaps with the vertical projection of B" means that a part of the vertical projection of A coincides with a part of the vertical projection of B, and the other part is separated from each other; or, the boundary of the vertical projection of A is located within the boundary of the vertical projection of B; or, the boundary of the vertical projection of B is located within the boundary of the vertical projection of A.
[0059] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views and / or plan views as idealized exemplary drawings. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and regions is exaggerated for clarity. Thus, variations in the shape relative to the drawings due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances are contemplated. Accordingly, exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the shapes of the regions shown herein, but include shape deviations caused by, for example, manufacturing. For example, an etched region shown as rectangular will generally have curved features. Thus, the regions shown in the drawings are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to depict the actual shape of the regions of the device and are not intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.
[0060] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display device 1000, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 , which is a structural diagram of a display device; the display device 1000 can be any product or component with a display function, such as a television, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (abbreviation: PDA), a navigator, a wearable device, an Augmented Reality (abbreviation: AR) device, a Virtual Reality (abbreviation: VR) device, etc.
[0061] The above display device 1000 can be an electroluminescent display device or a photoluminescent display device. In the case where the display device 1000 is an electroluminescent display device, the electroluminescent display device can be an organic electroluminescent display device or a Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes (abbreviation: QLED) display device. In the case where the display device 1000 is a photoluminescent display device, the photoluminescent display device can be a quantum dot photoluminescent display device.
[0062] The display device 1000 includes a display panel 1100. Refer to Figure 2A , Figure 2A , which is Figure 1 a cross-sectional view of the display panel 1100 along the section line A-A in
[0063] The substrate 100 can be a flexible substrate. For example, the substrate 100 is a substrate 100 made of resin. In this way, the display panel 1100 can be a flexible display panel (capable of being bent or folded). Alternatively, the substrate 100 can be a rigid substrate. For example, the substrate 100 is a glass substrate. In this way, the display panel 1100 can be a rigid display panel (not capable of being bent and folded).
[0064] The substrate 100 may be a composite film structure in which a multi-layer film structure is stacked. For example, the substrate 100 is a rigid substrate. Figure 2A , the substrate 100 includes a glass base 110 , a resin layer 120 , and a buffer layer 130 which are stacked.
[0065] The pixel circuit layer 200 refers to a film layer where a plurality of pixel circuit arrays are located. Each pixel circuit in the pixel circuit layer 200 is configured to control a light emitting device 300 electrically connected to the pixel circuit to emit light. The pixel circuit may include a plurality of switch devices and at least one capacitor Cst.
[0066] Exemplarily, the switch device may be a thin film transistor (Thin Film Transistor, referred to as TFT) or a field effect transistor (metal oxide semiconductor, referred to as MOS). In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the switch device is described as a thin film transistor, that is, the pixel circuit includes a plurality of thin film transistors ( Figure 2A Only one thin film transistor electrically connected to the light emitting device 300 is shown as an example. The thin film transistor may be a P-type transistor or an N-type transistor. The P-type transistor is turned on under a low potential and is turned off under a high potential. The N-type transistor is turned on under a high potential and is turned off under a low potential.
[0067] The pixel circuit layer 200 includes a plurality of patterned conductive layers stacked together. The structure of the patterned conductive layer is described below by way of example.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of patterned conductive layers include a stacked arrangement of Figure 2A The active layer 210, the first gate conductive layer 220, the second gate conductive layer 230, the source-drain conductive layer 240 and the conductive pattern layer 250 are shown. In this case, the thin film transistor includes an active layer pattern 11 located in the active layer 210, a gate pattern 12 located in the first gate conductive layer 220, and a source electrode 13 and a drain electrode 14 located in the source-drain conductive layer 240. The capacitor Cst includes a first electrode plate 15 located in the first gate conductive layer 220 and a second electrode plate 16 located in the second gate conductive layer 230.
[0069] Alternatively, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of patterned conductive layers include a stacked arrangement of Figure 2BThe active layer 210, the first gate conductive layer 220, the second gate conductive layer 230, and the conductive pattern layer 250 are shown. In this case, the thin-film transistor includes an active layer pattern 11 located on the active layer 210, a gate pattern 12 located on the first gate conductive layer 220, and a source 13 and a drain 14 located on the conductive pattern layer 250. The capacitor Cst includes a first electrode plate 15 located on the first gate conductive layer 220 and a second electrode plate 16 located on the second gate conductive layer 230.
[0070] Among them, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, among the multiple patterned conductive layers, the patterned conductive layer farthest from the substrate 100 is the conductive pattern layer 250. In this way, in different embodiments, the conductive pattern layer 250 may refer to different film layers.
[0071] Exemplarily, in Figure 2A the embodiment shown, the source-drain conductive layer 240 is configured to arrange the signal lines of the pixel circuit and the source-drain patterns of the thin-film transistors, and the conductive pattern layer 250 is configured to arrange the auxiliary signal lines of the pixel circuit. The auxiliary signal lines are configured to be electrically connected to the signal lines, and thus the auxiliary signal lines are connected in parallel with the signal lines to reduce the resistance of the signal lines. Exemplarily, in Figure 2B the embodiment shown, the conductive pattern layer 250 is configured to arrange the traces of the pixel circuit and the source-drain patterns of the thin-film transistors.
[0072] The pixel circuit layer 200 further includes an insulating layer disposed between two adjacent patterned conductive layers, and two planarization layers located on both sides (opposite sides along the thickness direction of the conductive pattern layer 250) of the conductive pattern layer 250. The material of the insulating layer includes an inorganic material. During the manufacturing process of the display panel, the insulating layer can be formed by chemical vapor deposition. The formed insulating layer has a substantially uniform thickness, and its surface undulates with the undulation of the surface of the substrate where it is located. The material of the planarization layer includes an organic material. During the manufacturing process of the display panel, the planarization layer can be formed by a coating process, thereby forming a planarization layer with a substantially flat surface. Among them, the organic material of the planarization layer is also an electrical insulating material. In this way, the planarization layer located on the side of the conductive pattern layer 250 close to the substrate 100 can be reused as the insulating layer between the conductive pattern layer 250 and the adjacent patterned conductive layer, which is beneficial to reducing the number of film layers of the display panel 100 and making the display panel 1100 thinner and lighter.
[0073] Since each patterned conductive layer is provided with different conductive patterns, and the insulating layer is usually a film layer structure with a uniform thickness, this results in the surface of the film layer close to the planarization layer in the pixel circuit layer 200 having undulations (uneven).
[0074] During the manufacturing process of the display panel 1100, a planarization layer is fabricated through a coating process. Due to the adhesive effect of the material of the planarization layer, the surface of the planarization layer away from the substrate 100 undulates following the undulation of the surface of the substrate it is on, with the degree of undulation of the planarization layer being less than that of the surface of the substrate it is on. Herein, the surface of the substrate where the planarization layer is located refers to the surface on the side of the planarization layer close to the substrate and in direct contact with the planarization layer.
[0075] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2A , in the case where the multiple patterned conductive layers include the active layer 210, the first gate conductive layer 220, the second gate conductive layer 230, the source-drain conductive layer 240, and the conductive pattern layer 250 which are stacked, the pixel circuit layer 200 further includes a first gate insulating layer 261 located between the active layer 210 and the first gate conductive layer 220, a second gate insulating layer 262 located between the first gate conductive layer 220 and the second gate conductive layer 230, an interlayer dielectric layer 263 located between the second gate conductive layer 230 and the source-drain conductive layer 240, a first planarization layer 270 located between the source-drain conductive layer 240 and the conductive pattern layer 250, and a second planarization layer 280 located on the side of the conductive pattern layer 250 away from the substrate 100.
[0076] In this way, the surface of the first planarization layer 270 away from the substrate 100 undulates following the undulation of the surface away from the substrate 100 formed by the interlayer dielectric layer 263 and the source-drain conductive layer 240. The surface of the second planarization layer 280 away from the substrate 100 undulates following the undulation of the surface away from the substrate 100 formed by the first planarization layer 270 and the conductive pattern layer 250.
[0077] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2B , in the case where the multiple patterned conductive layers include the active layer 210, the first gate conductive layer 220, the second gate conductive layer 230, and the conductive pattern layer 250 which are stacked, the pixel circuit layer 200 further includes a first gate insulating layer 261 located between the active layer 210 and the first gate conductive layer 220, a second gate insulating layer 262 located between the first gate conductive layer 220 and the second gate conductive layer 230, a first planarization layer 270 located between the second gate conductive layer 230 and the conductive pattern layer 250, and a second planarization layer 280 located on the side of the conductive pattern layer 250 away from the substrate 100.
[0078] In this way, the surface of the first planarization layer 270 away from the substrate 100 undulates following the undulation of the surface away from the substrate 100 formed by the second gate insulating layer 262 and the second gate conductive layer 230. The surface of the second planarization layer 280 away from the substrate 100 undulates following the undulation of the surface away from the substrate 100 formed by the first planarization layer 270 and the conductive pattern layer 250.
[0079] The light-emitting device 300 is disposed on the side of the pixel circuit layer 200 away from the substrate 100. In some embodiments, the light-emitting device 300 includes an anode layer 310, a pixel defining layer 320, a light-emitting functional layer 330, and a cathode layer 340 that are stacked.
[0080] The anode layer 310 includes a plurality of separated anodes 31 ( Figure 2A only one anode 31 is exemplarily shown therein). The pixel defining layer 320 has a plurality of first openings 32, each first opening 32 is opposite to an anode 31, and the boundary of the first opening 32 is within the boundary of the anode 31 opposite thereto. Each first opening 32 defines an effective light-emitting area of a sub-pixel. At least a part of the light-emitting functional layer 330 is located within the first opening 32. The cathode layer 340 is located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 133 away from the substrate 100. Exemplarily, the cathode layer 340 can be a whole-layer film structure.
[0081] In some embodiments, the light-emitting functional layer 330 includes a light-emitting layer. In other embodiments, in addition to the light-emitting layer, the light-emitting functional layer 330 further includes at least one of an electron transporting layer (English: Election Tansporting Layer, abbreviated as: ETL), an electron injection layer (English: Election Injection Layer, abbreviated as: EIL), a hole transporting layer (English: HoleTransporting Layer, abbreviated as: HTL), and a hole injection layer (English: Hole Injection Layer, abbreviated as: HIL).
[0082] During the manufacturing process of the display panel 1100, the anode layer 310 is fabricated by a sputtering process. In this way, the formed anodes 31 have a uniform thickness. Based on this, the surface of the anode 31 away from the substrate 100 fluctuates as the surface of its underlying substrate fluctuates.
[0083] Exemplarily, the anode layer 320 is directly disposed on the surface of the second flat layer 280. The anodes 31 included in the anode layer 320 have fluctuations as the surface of the region where the anodes 31 are located on the second flat layer 280 fluctuates. That is, when the surface of the region configured to dispose the anode 31 on the second flat layer 280 has fluctuations, the anode 31 located in this region also has fluctuations adapted to the above-mentioned fluctuations; when the surface of the region configured to dispose the anode 31 on the second flat layer 280 is a flat surface, the anode 31 located in this region is also flat.
[0084] The encapsulation layer 400 can be an encapsulation film or an encapsulation substrate, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations.
[0085] In some embodiments, the display panel 1100 further includes a color filter layer 500 disposed on a side of the encapsulation layer 400 away from the substrate 100. The color filter layer 500 includes a black matrix 510 and a plurality of color filter portions 520. The black matrix 510 has a plurality of second openings 511, and at least a part of one color filter portion 520 is located within one second opening 511.
[0086] A first opening 32 is opposite to a second opening 511, and a boundary of a vertical projection of the first opening 32 on the substrate 100 is located within a boundary of a vertical projection of the second opening 511 opposite thereto on the substrate 100; so that light emitted by a light-emitting device 300 can pass through the color filter portion 520 of an opening 511 and be emitted.
[0087] The color filter portion 520 is configured to color the light emitted by the light-emitting device 300. Exemplarily, the color filter portion 520 may include a red color filter portion 520, a green color filter portion 520, and a blue color filter portion 520.
[0088] The black matrix 510 of the color filter layer 500 can reduce the reflection of the display panel 1100 on ambient light. Based on this, compared with reducing the reflection of the display panel 1100 on ambient light by setting a polarizer, when the display panel 1100 includes the color filter layer 500, the display device 1000 can reduce one polarizer, making the display device 1000 thinner and lighter, and at the same time reducing the manufacturing cost of the display device 1000.
[0089] In the related art, in the pixel circuit layer, the surface of the film layer close to the flat layer away from the substrate has undulations, resulting in undulations on the surface of the flat layer away from the substrate. The anode layer is directly disposed on the flat layer. In this way, the surface of the anode included in the anode layer may also have undulations. Moreover, the display panel uses the color filter layer to replace the polarizer to achieve the function of reducing the reflection of ambient light, so that the ambient light incident on the anode layer can pass through the color filter portion from the opening of the black matrix after being reflected by the anode layer. Due to the undulations on the surface of the anode layer, the light reflected by the anode layer will undergo color separation, that is, the light reflected by the anode layer will form a colored halo. And the greater the undulation degree of the anode layer (the worse the flatness), the more serious the color separation phenomenon of the light reflected by the anode layer, and the more obvious the generated colored halo. The light that undergoes color separation and is emitted by the color filter portion can form a colored halo on the light-emitting surface of the display panel. Especially when the display panel is in a dark state (not displaying image information), the colored halo formed on the display panel is more obvious, and the colored halo is likely to cause glare to people.
[0090] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel 1100. Refer to Figure 2A and Figure 2B , a plurality of first grooves 271 are provided on a side of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100 (whereFigure 2A and Figure 2B Only one first groove 271 is exemplarily shown in Figure 2B . The depth of the first groove 271 is less than the thickness of the first flat layer 270, so that the first groove 271 has a bottom wall substantially parallel to the substrate 100, thereby preventing the patterned conductive layers on both sides of the first flat layer 270 from being electrically connected through the first groove 271. Wherein, the depth of the first groove 271 refers to: the dimension of the first groove 271 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 100 ( Figure 2A the vertical direction in Figure 2A ); the thickness of the first flat layer 270 refers to: the dimension of the first flat layer 270 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 100.
[0091] The vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the vertical projection of at least one first groove 271 on the substrate 100. Exemplarily, the vertical projection of one anode 31 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the vertical projection of one first groove 271 on the substrate 100.
[0092] It should be noted that the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100 overlapping with the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate includes that the vertical projections of both (the first groove 271 and the anode 31) on the substrate 100 completely overlap, and the vertical projections of both on the substrate 100 partially overlap.
[0093] The complete overlap of the vertical projections of both on the substrate 100 means that the boundaries of the vertical projections of both on the substrate 100 substantially coincide. The partial overlap of the vertical projections of both on the substrate 100 means that a part of the vertical projections of both on the substrate 100 coincides with each other and a part is separated (non - coincident); or, the boundary of the vertical projection of one of the two on the substrate 100 is located within the boundary of the vertical projection of the other on the substrate 100, and at least part of the boundaries of the vertical projections of both on the substrate 100 do not coincide.
[0094] The conductive pattern layer 250 is located between the first flat layer 270 and the second flat layer 280 and includes a plurality of conductive patterns 251. At least part of the plurality of conductive patterns 251 is located in the first groove 271. In this way, each first groove 271 is filled with a conductive pattern 251. The surface of the part of the plurality of conductive patterns 251 located in the first groove 271 away from the substrate 100 is substantially flush with the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100. To improve the flatness of the surface formed by the first flat layer 270 and the conductive pattern 251 located in the first groove 271, and improve the flatness of the substrate surface where the second flat layer 280 is located.
[0095] Among them, the part of the conductive pattern 251 located in the first groove 271 is away from the surface of the substrate 100 and is substantially flush with the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100, which means that the thickness of the part of the conductive pattern 251 located in the first groove 271 is substantially equal to the depth of the first groove 271.
[0096] Due to the precision limitation of the manufacturing process and the error of the measurement system, it is difficult to make the depth of the first groove 271 absolutely equal to the thickness of the conductive pattern 251 in the actual production process. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the thickness of the part of the conductive pattern 251 located in the first groove 271 being substantially equal to the depth of the first groove 271 means that the difference between the thickness of the conductive pattern 251 (the part located in the first groove 271) and the depth of the first groove 271 is within an acceptable deviation range. Exemplarily, the above-mentioned acceptable deviation range may be 5%, that is, the ratio of the difference between the thickness of the conductive pattern 251 and the depth of the first groove 271 to the preset value is less than or equal to 5% of the preset value; the preset value refers to the designed values of the thickness of the conductive pattern 251 and the depth of the first groove 271. Of course, the above-mentioned acceptable deviation range may also be 3%, 8%, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations here.
[0097] It should be understood that since the first groove 271 is filled with the conductive pattern 251, based on this, the boundary of the first groove 271 completely coincides with the boundary of the conductive pattern 251 located in the first groove 271. In the drawings of the present disclosure, the part indicated by the first groove 271 is the boundary of the conductive pattern 251 located in the first groove 271. Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2A , the part indicated by the first groove 271 is the boundary where the conductive pattern 251 (signal line 17) intersects with the first flat layer 270.
[0098] The display panel 1100 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes a first flat layer 270, a second flat layer 280, and a conductive pattern layer 250 located between the first flat layer 270 and the second flat layer 280, and the anode layer 310 is disposed on the surface of the second flat layer 280 away from the substrate 100. By providing two flat layers (the first flat layer 270 and the second flat layer 280), the flatness of the surface of the substrate where the second flat layer 280 is located can be improved.
[0099] Meanwhile, a part of the conductive pattern 251 is embedded in the first groove 271, and the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100. Based on this, at least a part of the conductive pattern 251 located in the first groove 271 coincides with the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100 in the vertical projection on the substrate 100, that is, at least a part of the conductive pattern 251 opposite to the anode 31 is embedded in the first groove 271. The surface of the conductive pattern 251 located in the first groove 271 away from the substrate 100 is substantially flush with the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100. In this way, the flatness of the area for setting the anode 31 on the second flat layer 280 can be improved, and then the flatness of the anode 31 can be improved, the degree of color separation caused by the ambient light reflected by the anode 31 can be weakened, the possibility of forming a color halo on the light-emitting surface of the display panel 1100 can be reduced, the risk of dazzling the human eye can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.
[0100] Refer to Figure 2A , when the patterned conductive layer of the pixel circuit layer 200 includes an active layer 210, a first gate conductive layer 220, a second gate conductive layer 230, a source-drain conductive layer 240, and a conductive pattern layer 250 arranged in layers, the source-drain conductive layer 240 is disposed between the substrate 100 and the first flat layer 270 and is in direct contact with the first flat layer 270.
[0101] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is Figure 1 a partial enlarged view of B in Figure 3 , only the source-drain conductive layer 240, the conductive pattern layer 250, and the anode layer 310 of the display panel 1100 are exemplarily shown in Figure 3 ; the source-drain conductive layer 240 at least includes a plurality of voltage signal lines VDD, a plurality of data signal lines DATA, and the source-drain electrode pattern 19 of the thin-film transistor. The plurality of conductive patterns 251 include a plurality of signal lines 17 ( Figure 3 the vdd signal line in
[0102] . At least a part of the plurality of signal lines 17 is located in at least one first groove 271, which reduces the influence of the signal lines 17 on the flatness of the second flat layer 280 and improves the flatness of the anode 31.
[0103] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is Figure 3 a partial enlarged view of an anode 31 (the anode 31 in the region shown as C1 in Figure 3 ) in
[0104] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 4 , the extending direction of the part of the signal line 17 located within the first groove 271 is substantially the same as the extending direction of the part located outside the first groove 271. In this way, it is beneficial to the spatial arrangement of multiple signal lines 17.
[0105] It should be noted that due to the precision of the manufacturing process and the error of the measurement system, it is very difficult for the line widths of the signal line 17 to be exactly equal everywhere. The "line widths of the signal line 17 are substantially equal everywhere" in the embodiments of the present disclosure means that: the difference between the line widths of the signal line 17 everywhere is within an acceptable deviation range. Exemplarily, the acceptable deviation range is 5%, that is, the ratio of the difference between the actual value and the designed value of the line width of the signal line 17 to the designed value is less than or equal to 5%. Of course, the acceptable deviation range can also be 2%, 7%, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations on this.
[0106] In the drawings provided by the present disclosure, in order to distinguish the first groove 271 and the conductive pattern 251 in the figure, there is a gap between the boundary of the first groove 271 and the boundary of the signal line 17. However, in actual production, the boundary of the signal line 17 and the boundary of the first groove 271 can be closely attached, that is, the first groove 271 is filled with the signal line. Exemplarily, referring to Figure 4 , there is a gap between the boundary of the signal line 17 along its extending direction and the boundary of the first groove 271 along the extending direction of the signal line 17. However, in the actual production process, the boundary of the signal line 17 along its extending direction coincides with the boundary of the first groove 271 along the extending direction of the signal line 17, that is, the signal line 17 is completely attached to the side wall of the first groove 271.
[0107] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is Figure 4 a cross-sectional view along the section line E1-E1 in Figure 5 in Figure 4On the basis of the film layer shown, other film layers of the display panel 1100 are added. The portion of the signal line 17 located in the first groove 271 is substantially flush with the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100, which can reduce or avoid the undulation between the first region of the second flat layer 280 and its peripheral region. The first region refers to the region on the second flat layer 280 that contacts the signal line in the first groove 271. The flatness of the substrate surface where the region configured to set the anode 31 on the second flat layer 280 is located can be improved, and thus the flatness of the anode 31 can be improved.
[0108] Refer to Figure 4 , along the extension direction of the signal line 17, the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100 penetrates the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100. That is, along the extension direction of the signal line 17, the two ends of the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100 substantially coincide with the boundaries of the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100, or at least one end of the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100 extends beyond the boundaries of the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100. In this way, the portion of the signal line 271 opposite to one anode 31 can be completely located in a first groove 271, which can further reduce the influence of the portion of the signal line 271 opposite to the anode 31 on the flatness of the anode 31. Among them, the vertical projection of the portion of the signal line 271 opposite to the anode 31 on the substrate 100 completely overlaps with the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100.
[0109] Exemplarily, the number of the signal lines 17 is multiple. On any one of the signal lines 17, the portion opposite to one anode 31 is located in a first groove 271. In this way, the influence of the signal line 271 on the flatness of the anode 31 can be reduced to the greatest extent, the flatness of all the anodes 31 included in the anode layer 310 can be improved, and the possibility of forming a color halo on the light-emitting surface of the display panel 1100 can be reduced.
[0110] Refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 is Figure 3 a partial enlarged view of an anode 31 ( Figure 3 the anode 31 in the region shown as C2 in Figure 8 ); the anode 31 includes a main body portion 311 and a connecting portion 312 connected to the main body portion 311. As shown in Figure 9 , Figure 9 taking the dotted line L1 as the boundary, the anode 31 is divided into a main body portion 311 and a connecting portion 312. Refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 is Figure 8 a cross-sectional view along the section line F1-F1 in Figure 9 ; and Figure 8 On the basis of the film layer shown, other film layers of the display panel 1100 are added.
[0111] The vertical projection of the first opening 32 of the pixel defining layer 320 on the substrate 100 is located within the vertical projection range of the main body 311 of the anode 31 opposite thereto on the substrate 100. The connecting portion 312 is electrically connected to the main body 311 and is configured to electrically connect the main body 311 to the pixel circuit so that the pixel circuit can control the light emitting device 300 to emit light.
[0112] Due to the errors in manufacturing precision and measurement system, in the actual production process, it is difficult to make the portion of the signal line 17 located in the first groove 271 away from the surface of the substrate 100 and completely flush with the surface of the first flat layer 270, that is, there may still be unevenness at the junction between the signal line 17 located in the first groove 271 and the first flat layer 270.
[0113] In order to overcome the above problems, in some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , when the vertical projection of the main body 312 of the anode 31 on the substrate 100 is separated from the vertical projection of the adapter block 18 on the substrate 100; the vertical projection of the main body 311 of the anode 31 on the substrate 100 can be located within the range of the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100. So that the vertical projection of the main body 311 on the substrate 100 is located within the range of the vertical projection of the portion of the signal line 17 located in the first groove 271 on the substrate 100. In this way, the area on the second flat layer 280 configured to carry the anode 31 can be completely located on the signal line 17 in a first groove 271. Even if there are undulations at the junction between the signal line 17 in the first groove 271 and the first flat layer 270, the flatness of the area where the anode 31 is located on the second flat layer 280 can still be ensured, that is, the flatness of the anode 31 can be ensured, thereby reducing the color separation phenomenon of the light reflected by the anode 31.
[0114] It should be understood that the vertical projection of the main body 311 on the substrate 100 is located within the range of the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100, and the boundaries of the vertical projections of the two (the main body 311 and the first groove 271) on the substrate 100 may coincide with each other; or the boundary of the vertical projection of the main body 311 on the substrate 100 is located within the boundary of the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100, and there is a gap between the boundaries of the vertical projections of the two on the substrate 100; or a part of the boundary of the vertical projection of the main body 311 on the substrate 100 has a certain gap with the boundary of the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100, and the other part coincides with the boundary of the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100.
[0115] Exemplarily, the boundary of the vertical projection of the main body portion 311 on the substrate 100 is located within the boundary of the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100, and there is a gap between the boundaries of their vertical projections on the substrate 100. In this way, during the manufacturing process of the display panel 1100, the requirement for the alignment accuracy between the first groove 271 and the anode 31 can be reduced, and the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel 1100 can be lowered.
[0116] It should be understood that in some embodiments, when there is no requirement for the thinness and lightness of the display panel 1100, grooves may not be provided on the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100, and the positive projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100 may be directly located within the range of the vertical projection of the signal line 17 on the substrate 100. In this way, the flatness of the anode 31 can still be increased.
[0117] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 is Figure 3 a partial enlarged view of an anode 31 ( Figure 3 the anode 31 in the area shown as C2 in
[0118] It should be understood that the first groove 271 may further include a plurality of sub-grooves arranged side by side, so that the portion of the signal line 17 located within the first groove 271 includes a plurality of sub-lines arranged in parallel, to reduce the line width of a single sub-line. There may be a gap between the plurality of sub-lines to reduce the influence of each sub-line on the flatness of the second flat layer 280, and at the same time reduce the resistance of the signal line 17.
[0119] Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view along the section line F2-F2 in 10, and Figure 11 in Figure 4On the basis of the shown film layer, other film layers of the display panel 1100 are added. The outer boundary of the vertical projection of a first groove 271 on the substrate 100 substantially coincides with the boundary of the vertical projection of the main body portion 311 of an anode 31 on the substrate 100, that is, the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100 is within the projection range of the main body portion 311 and is located at the edge position of the vertical projection of the main body portion 311. In this way, the flatness of the middle region of the main body portion 311 can be improved, and the color separation phenomenon of the reflected light in the central region of the main body portion 311 can be reduced. At the same time, since a part of the ambient light reflected by the edge region of the main body portion 311 will be directed to the region where the black matrix 510 is located, the first groove 271 is arranged around the edge of the main body portion 271 of the anode 31. Even if there are undulations in the edge region of the main body portion 311, the light with color separation emitted from the light filtering portion 520 can be reduced, and the color halo formed on the light-emitting surface of the display panel 1100 can be weakened.
[0120] It should be understood that the first groove 271 is a frame-shaped groove, the vertical projection of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100 is annular, and the above annular projection encloses a closed area. The above annular projection includes an inner boundary and an outer boundary; the inner boundary refers to the boundary enclosing the above closed area; the outer boundary refers to the boundary far from the above closed area.
[0121] Limited by the wiring space of the conductive pattern layer 250, the vertical projection of the signal line 17 on the substrate 100 usually overlaps with the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100. That is, it is very unlikely that the vertical projection of the signal line 17 on the substrate 100 is separated from the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100. Therefore, in some embodiments, when limited by the wiring space of the conductive pattern layer 250, the outer boundary of the first groove 271 on the substrate 100 may be within the projection range of the anode 31 on the substrate 100.
[0122] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 For Figure 3 a cross-sectional view along the section line D-D in Figure 12 where 101 shown in
[0123] On the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100, a plurality of second grooves 272 are further provided. One second groove 272 is located between two adjacent first grooves 271 and connects the two adjacent first grooves 271. The portion of the same signal line 17 between two adjacent first grooves 271 is located in one second groove 272. The surface of the portion of the signal line 17 located in the second groove 272 away from the substrate is substantially flush with the surface of the first flat layer away from the substrate. In this way, the signal line 17 can be entirely disposed in the grooves, and the depths of the first grooves 271 and the second grooves 272 are substantially the same, thereby reducing the undulation of the signal line 17 in the thickness direction of the display panel 1100 and making the resistance of each part of the signal line 17 more uniform. Moreover, the flatness of the surface of the first flat layer 270 and the conductive pattern layer 250 on the side away from the substrate 100 can be further improved, the flatness of the second flat layer 280 and the anode layer 310 can be improved, and the risk of the signal line 17 breaking due to undulation changes can be reduced.
[0124] In some embodiments, the plurality of voltage signal lines VDD included in the source-drain electrode layer 240 extend along the first direction M1, and the plurality of voltage signal lines VDD are spaced apart along the second direction M2. The plurality of signal lines 17 may include at least one of a plurality of auxiliary data signal lines Data1 and a plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd.
[0125] Exemplarily, the plurality of signal lines 17 may include a plurality of auxiliary data signal lines Data. The auxiliary data signal lines Data extend along the first direction M1, and the plurality of auxiliary data signal lines Data are spaced apart along the second direction M2 so that the plurality of auxiliary data signal lines Data are electrically insulated from each other. One auxiliary data signal line Data is opposite to one data signal line DATA of the source-drain conductive layer 240, and the auxiliary data signal line Data is electrically connected to the data signal line DATA opposite thereto through a connection via provided on the first flat layer 270, and then one auxiliary data signal line Data is connected in parallel with one data signal line DATA to reduce the resistance of the data signal line DATA.
[0126] Exemplarily, the plurality of signal lines 17 may further include a plurality of auxiliary data signal lines Data and a plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd. The plurality of auxiliary data signal lines Data and the plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd both extend along the first direction M1, and any two adjacent signal lines 17 are spaced apart to insulate electrically between the two adjacent signal lines 17. One auxiliary data signal line Data is opposite to one data signal line DATA, and the auxiliary data signal line Data and the data signal line DATA opposite thereto are arranged in parallel to reduce the resistance of the data signal line DATA. One auxiliary voltage signal line Vdd is opposite to one voltage signal line VDD, and the auxiliary voltage signal line Vdd and the voltage signal line VDD opposite thereto are electrically connected, that is, the auxiliary voltage signal line Vdd and the voltage signal line VDD opposite thereto are arranged in parallel to reduce the resistance of the voltage signal line VDD. Exemplarily, limited by the wiring space of the conductive pattern layer 250, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the plurality of signal lines 17, the line widths of various parts of the same signal line 17 are substantially equal.
[0127] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 3 , the plurality of signal lines 17 includes a plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd, and the plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd are electrically connected to the plurality of voltage signal lines VDD to connect the plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd and the plurality of voltage signal lines VDD in parallel, thereby reducing the resistance of the plurality of voltage signal lines VDD. The voltage signal line VDD of the source-drain electrode layer 240 is used to provide a common voltage signal for the pixel circuit. Since the common voltage signal provided for each pixel circuit may be the same, based on this, the plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd can transmit signals with the same voltage value, and the plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd can be arranged in parallel to further reduce the resistance of the auxiliary voltage signal line Vdd.
[0128] In the case where the plurality of signal lines 17 includes a plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd, referring to Figure 3 , the plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd may include a plurality of first auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd1 and a plurality of second auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd2. The plurality of first auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd1 and the plurality of second auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd2 intersect with each other to form a mesh structure to reduce the overall resistance of the plurality of auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd.
[0129] Among them, the first auxiliary voltage signal line Vdd1 extends along the first direction M1, and the plurality of first auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd1 are spaced apart along the second direction M2; one auxiliary voltage signal line Vdd is opposite to one voltage signal line VDD; referring to Figure 13, the first flat layer 270 further includes a plurality of first vias 273, and a first auxiliary voltage signal line Vdd1 is electrically connected to a voltage signal line VDD opposite thereto through at least one first via 273. The second auxiliary voltage signal line Vdd2 extends along the second direction M2, and a plurality of second auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd2 are arranged at intervals along the first direction M1; the plurality of second auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd2 are configured to electrically connect the plurality of first auxiliary voltage signal lines Vdd1.
[0130] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2A , the plurality of conductive patterns 251 of the conductive pattern layer 250 further includes a plurality of connection blocks 18. One connection block 18 is configured to electrically connect one anode 31 to a source / drain electrode pattern 19 (the drain 14 of the thin film transistor) of a thin film transistor. A plurality of second vias 274 are provided in the first flat layer 270, and the connection block 18 is electrically connected to a source / drain electrode pattern 19 through at least one second via 274. A plurality of third vias 281 are provided in the second flat layer 280, and a connection portion 312 of the anode 31 is electrically connected to a connection block 18 through at least one third via 281. The vertical projection of the second via 274 on the substrate 100 is separated from the vertical projection of the third via 281 on the substrate 100, which is beneficial to improving the connection stability between the anode 31 and the connection block 18.
[0131] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2A , each connection block 18 is electrically connected to a source / drain electrode pattern 19 through a second via 274. And the connection portion 312 of each anode 31 is electrically connected to a connection block 18 through a third via 281. Wherein, the source / drain electrode pattern 19 includes the drain 14 of the thin film transistor. As Figure 2A shown, the connection block 18 is electrically connected to a source / drain electrode pattern 19 through a second via 274, that is, the connection block 18 is electrically connected to the drain 14 of a thin film transistor through a second via 274.
[0132] The anode 31 needs to be electrically connected to a source / drain electrode pattern 19. There are at least the first flat layer 270 and the second flat layer 280 between the anode layer 310 and the source / drain electrode pattern 19. The interval between the anode layer 310 and the source / drain electrode pattern 19 is relatively large. By means of the connection block 18, it is possible to avoid the connection via between the connection portion 312 of the anode 31 and the source / drain electrode pattern 19 from being too deep, and the connection reliability between the anode 31 and the source / drain electrode pattern 19 is improved.
[0133] Referring to Figure 4 , the vertical projection of the connection portion 312 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the vertical projection of the connection block 18 on the substrate 100, so that the connection portion 312 can be electrically connected to the connection block 18 through at least one third via.
[0134] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , the vertical projection of the adapter block 18 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the vertical projection of the filter portion 520 on the substrate 100. The adapter block 18 includes a first portion 181, and the vertical projection of the first portion 181 on the substrate 100 is located within the range of the vertical projection of the filter portion 520 on the substrate 100. And because the vertical projection of the filter portion 520 on the substrate 100 is located within the range of the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100, the vertical projection of the first portion 181 of the adapter block 18 on the substrate 100 is located within the range of the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100.
[0135] In this way, the surface formed by the first portion 181 and the first flat layer 270 affects the flatness of the anode 31. Moreover, the ambient light reflected by the portion of the anode 31 opposite to the first portion 181 can be emitted from the filter portion 520. The higher the flatness of the surface formed by the first portion 181 and the first flat layer 270, the smaller the degree of color separation of the ambient light reflected by the portion of the anode 31 opposite to the first portion 181.
[0136] Based on this, in order to improve the flatness of the portion of the anode 31 opposite to the first portion 181. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100 is also provided with a plurality of third grooves 275; wherein, Figure 4 and Figure 5 Only one third groove 275 is shown as an example. At least part of the adapter block 18 is located in at least one third groove 275, and the vertical projection of the third groove 275 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the vertical projection of the filter part 520 on the substrate 100; that is, the vertical projection of the part of the adapter block 18 located in the third groove 275 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the vertical projection of the filter part 520 on the substrate 100. Based on this, at least part of the first part 181 of the adapter block 18 is located in at least one third groove 275.
[0137] At least part of the first portion 181 is located in at least one third groove 275, and the portion of the adapter block 18 located in the third groove 275 is away from the surface of the substrate 100 and is substantially flush with the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100. In this way, the flatness of the portion of the anode 31 opposite to the first portion 181 can be improved, the color separation degree of the ambient light reflected by the portion of the anode 31 opposite to the first portion 181 can be reduced, the possibility of color halo formed on the light-emitting surface of the display panel 1100 can be reduced, the risk of glare to the human eye can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.
[0138] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5The first part 181 of each adapter block 18 is entirely located in a third groove 275. In this way, the color separation degree of the ambient light reflected by the part of the anode 31 opposite to the first part 181 can be minimized, thereby reducing the possibility of a color halo forming on the light-emitting surface of the display panel 1100.
[0139] It should be understood that among the multiple adapter blocks 18 included in the conductive pattern layer 250, the vertical projections of some adapter blocks 18 on the substrate 100 may overlap with the vertical projections of the filter unit 520 on the substrate 100, that is, some adapter blocks 18 may have the first portion 181. Alternatively, the vertical projections of all adapter blocks 18 on the substrate 100 may overlap with the vertical projections of the filter unit 520 on the substrate 100, that is, all adapter blocks 18 may have the first portion 181.
[0140] For example, see Figure 3 , the vertical projection of some of the plurality of adapter blocks 18 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the vertical projection of the filter portion 520 on the substrate 100, that is, only some of the adapter blocks 18 have the first portion 181. Figure 4 The vertical projection of the adapter block 18 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the vertical projection of the filter portion 520 on the substrate 100. In this case, the adapter block 18 includes a first portion 181. Figure 8 The vertical projection of the adapter block 18 shown on the substrate 100 is separated from the vertical projection of the main body 311 of the anode 31 on the substrate 100, that is, the vertical projection of the adapter block 18 on the substrate 100 is separated from the vertical projection of the filter part 520 on the substrate 100. At this time, the adapter block 18 does not have the first part 181.
[0141] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 , each adapter block 18 can also be set in a third groove 275. In this way, the fluctuation of the adapter block 18 in the thickness direction of the display panel 1100 can be reduced, the problem of uneven resistance of the adapter block 18 (the junction between the first part 181 and the rest of the parts) can be avoided, and the risk of the adapter block 18 breaking at the junction between the first part 181 and the rest of the parts can be avoided; the alignment accuracy between the first part 181 and the filter part 520 during the manufacturing process of the display panel 1100 can also be reduced, that is, the accuracy of the setting position of the third groove 275 during the manufacturing process of the display panel 1100 can be reduced, the alignment accuracy between the conductive pattern layer 250, the anode layer 310 and the color filter layer 500 can be reduced, and the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel 1100 can be reduced.
[0142] In some embodiments, Figure 8In the case where the vertical projection of the adapter block 18 on the substrate 100 is separated from the vertical projection of the main body 311 on the substrate 100, refer to Figure 9 , the third groove 275 may not be provided, that is, the adapter block 18 is directly provided on the surface of the first planar layer 170 away from the substrate 100 .
[0143] In some embodiments, the conductive pattern layer 250 is generally formed by a sputtering process, and the thickness of the conductive pattern 251 formed by the conductive pattern layer 250 is generally 0.6 μm to 0.7 μm. For example, the thickness of the conductive pattern 251 can be 0.6 μm, 0.65 μm, or 0.7 μm, etc., which are not listed here one by one.
[0144] The depths of the first groove 271, the second groove 272 and the third groove 275 can be 0.6 μm to 0.7 μm, which is suitable for the thickness of the conductive pattern 251. For example, the depths of the first groove 271, the second groove 272 and the third groove 275 can be 0.6 μm, 0.65 μm, or 0.7 μm, etc., which are not listed here one by one.
[0145] The thickness of the conductive pattern 251, the depth of the first groove 271, the depth of the second groove 272 and the depth of the third groove 275 are approximately equal, so that the portion of the conductive pattern 251 located in the first groove 271, the portion of the conductive pattern 251 located in the second groove 272, and the portion of the conductive pattern 251 located in the third groove 275 are approximately flush with the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100, so that the surface formed by the first flat layer 270 and the conductive pattern layer 250 away from the substrate 100 is approximately flat, thereby improving the overall flatness of the second flat layer 280 and the flatness of the anode layer 310.
[0146] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first planar layer 270 is 1.5 μm to 3.0 μm. If the thickness of the first planar layer 270 is too thin, it is not conducive to forming a substantially flat surface of the first planar layer 270. Therefore, the thickness of the first planar layer 270 is greater than or equal to 1.5 μm.
[0147] In some embodiments, the greater the thickness of the first planar layer 270 , the flatter the first planar layer 270 is away from the surface of the substrate 100 , but this is not conducive to thinning the display panel 1100 . Therefore, the first planar layer 270 is generally less than or equal to 3.0 μm.
[0148] Thus, the thickness of the first planar layer is 1.5 μm to 3.0 μm. For example, the thickness of the first planar layer 270 may be 1.5 μm, 2.0 μm, 2.4 μm or 3.0 μm, etc., which are not listed here one by one.
[0149] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second planarization layer 280 is 1.0 μm to 2.0 μm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the second planarization layer 280 can be 1.5 μm, 2.0 μm, 2.4 μm, 3.0 μm, etc., and will not be enumerated one by one here.
[0150] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2B , when the patterned conductive layer of the pixel circuit layer 200 includes an active layer 210, a first gate conductive layer 220, a second gate conductive layer 230, and a conductive pattern layer 250 that are stacked. The first planarization layer 270 is located between the second gate conductive layer 230 and the conductive pattern layer 250, and the side of the first planarization layer 270 close to the substrate 100 is in direct contact with the second gate conductive layer 230. Thus, the first planarization layer 270 is also configured to separate the regions that do not require electrical connection between the second gate conductive layer 230 and the conductive pattern layer 250.
[0151] Referring to Figure 13 , Figure 13 when the patterned conductive layer includes an active layer 210, a first gate conductive layer 220, a second gate conductive layer 230, and a conductive pattern layer 250 that are stacked, Figure 1 the enlarged view of B in Figure 13 , in which only the conductive pattern layer 250 and the anode layer 310 are exemplarily shown. The conductive pattern layer 250 at least includes a plurality of voltage signal lines VDD, a plurality of data signal lines DATA, and one of the source-drain electrode patterns 19 of the thin film transistor. Among the plurality of source-drain electrode patterns 19 of the plurality of thin film transistors, a first source-drain electrode pattern 191 and a second source-drain electrode pattern 192 are included.
[0152] Referring to Figure 13 , the vertical projection of the first source-drain electrode pattern 191 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100. And the vertical projection of a part of the first source-drain electrode pattern 191 ( Figure 13 the first source-drain electrode pattern 191A in Figure 13 ) on the substrate 100 is located within the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100. The vertical projection of a part of the first source-drain electrode pattern 191 (
[0153] the first source-drain electrode pattern 191B in Figure 14A ) on the substrate 100 partially coincides with and is partially separated from the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100.
[0154] Wherein, when the vertical projection of the first source-drain electrode pattern 191A on the substrate 100 is within the range of the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100, the second portion 1911 of the first source-drain electrode pattern 191 includes all of the first source-drain electrode pattern 191. In this way, one first source-drain electrode pattern 191 is located within one first groove 271.
[0155] When the vertical projection of the first source-drain electrode pattern 191B on the substrate 100 partially overlaps and partially separates from the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100, the first source-drain electrode pattern 191 further includes a third portion 1912. The vertical projection of the third portion 1912 on the substrate 100 is outside the range of the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100. Exemplarily, referring to Figure 4 A, the second portion 1911 is located within one first groove 271, and the third portion 1912 may be located on the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100.
[0156] Referring to Figure 13 , the vertical projection of the second source-drain electrode pattern 192 on the substrate 100 is separated from the vertical projection of the anode 31 on the substrate 100. The second source-drain electrode pattern 192 may be disposed in a groove; or directly disposed on the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100; or partially disposed in a groove and partially disposed on the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100; the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations.
[0157] In the display panel 1100 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second portion 1911 of the source-drain electrode pattern 19 is disposed in the first groove 271, and the surface of the second portion 1911 away from the substrate 100 is substantially flush with the surface of the first flat layer 270 away from the substrate 100. In this way, the surface formed by the first flat layer 270 and the second portion 1911 away from the substrate 100 is substantially flat, which can improve the flatness of the area on the second flat layer 280 in contact with the second portion 1911, and further improve the flatness of the portion of the anode 31 opposite to the second portion 1911, weaken the degree of color separation caused by the ambient light reflected by the anode 31, reduce the possibility of forming a color halo on the light-emitting surface of the display panel 1100, reduce the risk of eye glare, and improve the user experience.
[0158] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 14B, the second part 1911 and the third part 1912 of the same first source-drain electrode pattern 191 are located within a first groove 271. In this way, the undulation of the first source-drain electrode pattern 191 in the thickness direction of the display panel 1100 can be reduced, avoiding the problem of resistance mutation at the junction between the second part 191 of the first source-drain electrode pattern 191 and the remaining part, and reducing the risk of fracture at the junction between the second part 191 of the first source-drain electrode pattern 191B and the remaining part; at the same time, during the manufacturing process of the display panel 1100, the alignment accuracy requirement between the first groove 271 and the anode 31 can also be reduced, reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel 1100.
[0159] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 15A , Figure 15A , taking the data signal line DATA as an example for illustration, it can also be a voltage signal line VDD; among at least one of the multiple voltage signal lines VDD and the multiple data signal lines DATA included in the conductive pattern layer 250, the overlapping portion of the vertical projection on the substrate 100 with the vertical projection of an anode 31 on the substrate 100 is located within a first groove 271.
[0160] Exemplarily, each voltage signal line VDD includes at least one first sub-segment, and the vertical projection of each first sub-segment on the substrate 100 is within the range of the vertical projection of an anode 31 on the substrate 100; one first sub-segment is located within a first groove 271. Each data signal line DATA includes at least one second sub-segment, and the vertical projection of one second sub-segment on the substrate 100 is within the range of the vertical projection of an anode 31 on the substrate 100; one second sub-segment is located within a first groove 271.
[0161] In this way, the flatness of the area on the second flat layer 280 that contacts the voltage signal line VDD and the data signal line DATA and is configured to set the anode 31 can be improved, thereby improving the flatness of the part of the anode 31 that faces the voltage signal line VDD and the data signal line DATA, and weakening the degree of color separation caused by the ambient light reflected by the anode 31.
[0162] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 15B , at least one of the multiple voltage signal lines VDD and the multiple data signal lines DATA can also be disposed within a first groove 271, that is, at least one of an entire voltage signal line VDD and an entire data signal line DATA is disposed within a first groove 271. Among them, Figure 15B taking one data signal line DATA located within a first groove 271 as an example for illustration.
[0163] Exemplarily, each voltage signal line VDD is located in a first groove 271, and each data signal line DATA is located in a first groove 271. In this way, the undulation of the voltage signal line VDD and the data signal line DATA in the thickness direction of the display panel 1100 can be reduced, so that the resistances at various positions where the voltage signal line VDD and the data signal line DATA extend along the length direction are more uniform, and the risk of breakage of the voltage signal line VDD and the data signal line DATA can be reduced. Moreover, the requirement for the alignment accuracy between the first groove 271 and the anode 31 can be reduced.
[0164] In some embodiments, the material of the first flat layer 270 includes an organic material. In this way, the first flat layer 270 with a substantially flat surface can be formed by a coating process. The material of the second flat layer 280 may also include an organic material. In this way, the second flat layer 280 with a substantially flat surface can be formed by a coating process. Exemplarily, the materials of the first flat layer 270 and the second flat layer 280 are the same.
[0165] Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a method for manufacturing a display panel. Refer to Figure 16 , the manufacturing method includes:
[0166] S100, as Figure 16 (a), fabricate an insulating material film 270A on one side of the substrate 101.
[0167] The substrate 101 refers to all the film layers between the substrate 100 and the first flat layer 270 in the display panel 1100.
[0168] Exemplarily, taking the multiple patterned conductive layers including the active layer 210, the first gate conductive layer 220, the second gate conductive layer 230, the source-drain conductive layer 240, and the conductive pattern layer 250 stacked as an example. The substrate 101 further includes a first gate insulating layer 261 between the active layer 210 and the first gate conductive layer 220, a second gate insulating layer 262 between the first gate conductive layer 220 and the second gate conductive layer 230, an interlayer dielectric layer 263 between the second gate conductive layer 230 and the source-drain conductive layer 240, and located at the source-drain conductive layer 240.
[0169] Exemplarily, the insulating material used for the insulating material film 270A includes an organic material. In this way, the insulating material can be fabricated into the insulating material film 270A by a coating process, and the surface of the insulating material film 270A away from the substrate 101 is substantially flat. The thickness of the insulating material film 270A can be 1.5 μm to 3.0 μm.
[0170] S200, as Figure 16 (b), fabricate a plurality of first grooves 271 on the insulating material film 270A to form the first flat layer 270.
[0171] For example, a plurality of first grooves 271 may be formed by a photolithography process (including exposure, etching, and development, etc.) The depth of the first grooves 271 may be 0.6 μm to 0.7 μm.
[0172] S300, such as Figure 16 (c) A conductive pattern layer 250 is formed on a side of the first planar layer 270 away from the substrate 100 .

In accordance with the depth of the first groove 271, the thickness of the conductive pattern 251 may be 0.6 μm to 0.7 μm.

[0175] Exemplarily, the insulating material used for the second planar layer 280 includes an organic material, so that the insulating material can be formed into the second planar layer 280 by a coating process, and the surface of the second planar layer 280 away from the base substrate 101 is substantially flat. The thickness of the second planar layer 280 can be 1.0 μm to 2.0 μm.
[0176] S500, such as Figure 16 (e) An anode conductive layer 310 is formed on a side of the second planar layer 280 away from the substrate 100 .
[0177] The anode conductive layer 310 includes a plurality of mutually separated anodes 31 , and a vertical projection of one anode 31 on the substrate 100 overlaps with a vertical projection of at least one first groove 271 on the substrate 100 .
