Detailed implementation manners

[0052] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only intended to provide a better understanding of the present application by showing examples of the present application. In the drawings and the following description, at least some of the well-known structures and technologies are not shown in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present application; and, for clarity, the dimensions of some structures may be exaggerated. In addition, the features, structures, or characteristics described below may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0053] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more; the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc. is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation of the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0054] The orientation words appearing in the following description are all the directions shown in the drawings and do not specifically limit the structure of the embodiments of the present application. In the description of the present application, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "mounted" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0055] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a display panel provided in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application includes: a display area AA and a non-display area NA provided on at least one side of the display area AA; the display panel further includes: a substrate 110 and an array functional layer 120, the array functional layer 120 is disposed on one side of the substrate 110 and includes a marking unit 130 located in the non-display area NA; an isolation structure 200 is disposed on the side of the array functional layer 120 facing away from the substrate 110, the isolation structure 200 includes a first isolation portion 210 located in the non-display area NA, and the first isolation portion 210 encloses a relief opening 211; the orthographic projection of the marking unit 130 on the substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the relief opening 211 on the substrate 110.

[0056] In this embodiment, the isolation structure 200 includes a first isolation portion 210 located in the non-display area NA. The first isolation portion 210 is used to improve the packaging effect of the non-display area NA of the display panel. The first isolation portion 210 blocks water, oxygen, etc. in the non-display area NA, and reduces the water, oxygen, etc. entering from the non-display area NA from reaching the display area AA of the display panel, thereby improving the display quality of the display panel. The orthographic projection of the marking unit 130 on the substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the clearance opening 211 on the substrate 110, thereby reducing the interference of the first isolation portion 210 on the marking unit 130 and improving the process performance of the display panel.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the first isolation portion 210 further encloses a plurality of first isolation openings 213 , so that the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the openings 211 on the substrate 110 is equal to the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the first isolation openings 213 on the substrate 110 .

[0058] In these optional embodiments, when preparing the light-emitting layer and the electrode layer, the material of the light-emitting layer and the material of the electrode layer have a large drop at the edge of the isolation structure 200, and the material of the light-emitting layer and the material of the electrode layer are difficult to connect at the edge of the isolation structure 200, so they break and fall into the first isolation opening 213, and there is no need to use a precision mask plate, which can reduce the development and use of precision masks and reduce the preparation cost. When preparing the encapsulation layer on the material of the electrode layer, the encapsulation layer can overlap with at least part of the isolation structure 200 to improve the encapsulation effect, and the clearance opening 211 is used to expose at least part of the marking unit 130 away from the substrate 110. The opening area of ​​the clearance opening 211 is equal to the opening area of ​​the first isolation opening 213, so as to simplify the preparation process of the first isolation part 210.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the clearance opening 211 on the substrate 110 is larger than the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the first isolation opening 213 on the substrate 110 .

[0060] In these optional embodiments, the opening area of ​​the clearance opening 211 is larger than the opening area of ​​the first isolation opening 213. The opening area of ​​the clearance opening 211 is larger, so as to facilitate exposing at least part of the marking unit 130 away from the substrate 110, and reduce the interference of the first isolation part 210 on the identification mark unit 130. The opening area of ​​the first isolation opening 213 is smaller, which is conducive to increasing the number of first isolation openings 213 in the non-display area NA, increasing the contact area between the encapsulation layer and the first isolation part 210, and improving the encapsulation effect of the non-display area NA.

[0061] like Figure 2As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the minimum distance between the orthographic projection of the marking unit 130 on the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the relief opening 211 on the substrate 110 is 5 to 20 micrometers.

[0062] In these alternative embodiments, the minimum distance between the orthographic projection of the marking unit 130 on the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the relief opening 211 on the substrate 110 is 5 to 20 micrometers. When the minimum distance between the orthographic projection of the marking unit 130 on the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the relief opening 211 on the substrate 110 is less than 5 micrometers, the distance between the side wall 212 of the first isolation portion 210 facing the relief opening 211 and the marking unit 130 is relatively small, and the first isolation portion 210 will interfere with the identification of the marking unit 130. When the minimum distance between the orthographic projection of the marking unit 130 on the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the relief opening 211 on the substrate 110 is greater than 20 micrometers, the opening area of the relief opening 211 is relatively large, which will affect the number of the first isolation openings 213 and the packaging effect of the non-display area NA. The minimum distance between the orthographic projection of the marking unit 130 on the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the relief opening 211 on the substrate 110 can be 5 micrometers, 7 micrometers, 10 micrometers, 12 micrometers, 15 micrometers, 18 micrometers, 20 micrometers, etc.

[0063] As Figure 4 shown, the orthographic projection of the marking unit 130 on the substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the relief opening 211 on the substrate 110. The relief opening 211 can expose the side of the marking unit 130 facing away from the substrate 110, thereby reducing the interference of the first isolation portion 210 on the identification of the marking unit 130. The opening area of the relief opening 211 is designed according to the size of the marking unit 130, and the opening area of the relief opening 211 is equal to the opening area of the first isolation opening 213, thereby facilitating the simplification of the manufacturing processes of the first isolation portion 210, the first isolation opening 213, and the relief opening 211.

[0064] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the orthographic projection of the marking unit 130 on the substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the relief opening 211 on the substrate 110. The relief opening 211 can expose the side of the marking unit 130 facing away from the substrate 110, thereby reducing the interference of the first isolation portion 210 on the identification of the marking unit 130. The opening area of the relief opening 211 is designed according to the size of the marking unit 130, and the opening area of the first isolation opening 213 is smaller than the opening area of the relief opening 211, thereby increasing the number of the first isolation openings 213 in the non-display area NA, increasing the contact area between the packaging layer and the first isolation portion 210, and improving the packaging effect of the non-display area NA.

[0065] As Figure 5and Figure 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the marking unit 130 includes a first marking unit 131 and a second marking unit 132, the size of the first marking unit 131 along the first direction X is greater than or equal to the size of the second marking unit 132 along the first direction X, the clearance opening 211 includes a first clearance opening 211a and a second clearance opening 211b, the orthographic projection of the first marking unit 131 on the substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the first clearance opening 211a on the substrate 110, the orthographic projection of the second marking unit 132 on the substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the second clearance opening 211b on the substrate 110, the size of the first clearance opening 211a along the first direction X is greater than or equal to the size of the second clearance opening 211b in the first direction X, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the display panel.

[0066] In these optional embodiments, the size of the first marking unit 131 along the first direction X is greater than or equal to the size of the second marking unit 132 along the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the first marking unit 131 on the substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the first clearance opening 211a on the substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the second marking unit 132 on the substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the second clearance opening 211b on the substrate 110. The size of the first clearance opening 211a along the first direction X is set to be greater than or equal to the size of the second clearance opening 211b in the first direction X, so as to facilitate the first isolation portion 210 to expose the side of the first marking unit 131 away from the substrate 110, and the first isolation portion 210 to expose the side of the second marking unit 132 away from the substrate 110, and the first clearance opening 211a is adapted to the size of the first marking unit 131 along the first direction X, and the second clearance opening 211b is adapted to the size of the second marking unit 132 along the first direction X. Reducing the space occupied by the first clearance openings 211 a and the second clearance openings 211 b in the non-display area NA is beneficial to increasing the number of the first isolation openings 213 and improving the packaging effect of the non-display area NA of the display panel.

[0067] Optional, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the dimension of the first marking unit 131 along the second direction Y is greater than or equal to the dimension of the second marking unit 132 along the second direction Y. The dimension of the first relief opening 211a along the second direction Y is greater than or equal to the dimension of the second relief opening 211b in the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the thickness direction Z. The first relief opening 211a is adapted to the dimension of the first marking unit 131 along the second direction Y, and the second relief opening 211b is adapted to the dimension of the second marking unit 132 along the second direction Y. Reducing the occupation of the space of the non-display area NA by the first relief opening 211a and the second relief opening 211b is beneficial to increasing the number of the first isolation openings 213 and improving the packaging effect of the non-display area NA of the display panel.

[0068] Optionally, as Figure 5 shown, the orthographic projection of the marking unit 130 on the substrate 110 is rectangular.

[0069] Optionally, as Figure 5 shown, the marking unit 130 includes a first segment 130a and a second segment 130b connected to each other. The first segment 130a extends along the first direction X, and the second segment 130b extends along the second direction Y, so as to facilitate the identification of the marking unit 130 and improve the identification efficiency.

[0070] Optionally, as Figure 7 shown. Along the thickness direction Z perpendicular to the display panel, the minimum distance between the first isolation portion 210 and the outer side wall of the marking unit 130 on the side facing the first isolation portion 210 along the first direction X is the first distance, and the minimum distance between the first isolation portion 210 and the outer side wall of the marking unit 130 on the side facing the first isolation portion 210 along the second direction Y is the second distance. The first distance is equal to the second distance, so that the first isolation portion 210 is adapted to the shape of the marking isolation structure 200, thereby increasing the distribution area of the first isolation portion 210 and improving the packaging effect of the display panel.

[0071] Optionally, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the thickness direction Z of the display panel are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0072] As Figure 2 shown, in some optional embodiments, the isolation structure 200 includes a first sub-layer 201 and a second sub-layer 202. The second sub-layer 202 is located on the side of the first sub-layer 201 away from the substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the first sub-layer 201 on the substrate 110 is within the orthographic projection of the second sub-layer 202 on the substrate 110.

[0073] In these alternative embodiments, the first sub-layer 201 and the second sub-layer 202 are stacked to form an isolation structure 200. The orthographic projection of the first sub-layer 201 close to the substrate 110 on the substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the second sub-layer 202 on the substrate 110. The area of the second sub-layer 202 is larger than that of the first sub-layer 201, and the second sub-layer 202 covers the surface of the first sub-layer 201 close to the second sub-layer 202. At this time, the first sub-layer 201 is recessed relative to the second sub-layer 202 in a direction away from the isolation opening. When preparing the light-emitting layer and the electrode layer, there is a large drop in the materials of the light-emitting layer and the electrode layer at the edge of the isolation structure 200, and it is difficult for the materials of the light-emitting layer and the electrode layer to connect at the edge of the isolation structure 200, resulting in breakage. Without using a precision mask plate, the development and use of the precision mask plate can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be lowered. When preparing the encapsulation layer on the material of the electrode layer, the encapsulation layer can overlap with at least part of the isolation structure 200 to improve the encapsulation effect. The first isolation portion 210 blocks water, oxygen, etc. in the non-display area NA, reducing the water, oxygen, etc. entering from the non-display area NA from reaching the display area AA of the display panel, thereby improving the quality of the display panel.

[0074] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the isolation structure 200 further includes a third sub-layer 203, and the third sub-layer 203 is disposed on the side of the first sub-layer 201 facing the substrate 110. When performing side etching on the first sub-layer 201, the third sub-layer 203 can provide protection for the film layer on the substrate 110 side.

[0075] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the orthographic projection of the first sub-layer 201 on the substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the third sub-layer 203 on the substrate 110, thereby enhancing the protection effect of the third sub-layer 203 on the film layer on the substrate 110 side.

[0076] Optionally, as Figure 8 shown, the isolation structure 200 further includes a second isolation portion 220 located in the display area AA. The second isolation portion 220 encloses a second isolation opening 221, and a light-emitting unit 520 is disposed in the second isolation opening 221. When preparing the light-emitting layer, there is a large drop in the material of the light-emitting layer at the edge of the second isolation portion 220 facing the second isolation opening 221, and it is difficult for the material of the light-emitting layer to connect at the edge of the isolation structure 200, resulting in breakage to form the light-emitting unit 520 in each second isolation opening 221.

[0077] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, a light-emitting material 510 is disposed in the first isolation opening 213. The light-emitting material 510 is at least partially the same as the material of the light-emitting unit 520. The material of the light-emitting layer falls into the first isolation opening 213 to form the light-emitting material 510, and the material of the light-emitting layer falls into the second isolation opening 221 to form the light-emitting unit 520.

[0078] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the give-way opening 211 on the substrate 110 is greater than the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the second isolation opening 221 on the substrate 110. The opening area of ​​the give-way opening 211 is greater than the opening area of ​​the second isolation opening 221. The opening area of ​​the give-way opening 211 is larger, so that it is convenient to expose at least part of the marking unit 130 away from the side of the substrate 110, and reduce the interference of the first isolation part 210 on the identification marking unit 130. The opening area of ​​the second isolation opening 221 is smaller, which is conducive to increasing the number of second isolation openings 221 in the display area AA, increasing the number of second isolation openings 221 and the number of light-emitting units 520 located in the second isolation openings 221, and improving the resolution of the display panel.

[0079] Optionally, the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the clearance opening 211 on the substrate 110 is equal to the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the second isolation opening 221 on the substrate 110. The opening area of ​​the clearance opening 211 is equal to the opening area of ​​the second isolation opening 221, thereby simplifying the preparation process of the isolation structure 200.

[0080] Optionally, the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the second isolation opening 221 on the substrate 110 is equal to the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the first isolation opening 213 on the substrate 110 , thereby simplifying the preparation process of the isolation structure 200 .

[0081] like Figure 8 As shown, in some optional embodiments, an insulating layer 140 and a pixel definition layer are arranged in sequence along a direction away from the substrate 110 between the array functional layer 120 and the isolation structure 200, the pixel definition layer includes a pixel defining portion 400, the pixel defining portion 400 encloses a pixel opening 410 located in the display area AA, the isolation structure 200 is arranged on the side of the pixel defining portion 400 away from the substrate 110, the pixel opening 410 is connected to the second isolation opening 221, and the light-emitting unit 520 is located at the pixel opening 410.

[0082] In these optional embodiments, the insulating layer 140 is disposed between the marking unit 130 and the pixel definition layer, and the pixel definition portion 400 of the pixel definition layer encloses a pixel opening 410 to dispose the light-emitting unit 520 and realize normal light emission of the light-emitting unit 520. In addition, the pixel definition portion 400 defines the disposition area of ​​each light-emitting unit 520 to reduce the cross-color defect between each light-emitting unit 520. The pixel opening 410 is connected to the second isolation opening 221, thereby reducing the influence of the second isolation portion 220 on the light emission of the light-emitting unit 520.

[0083] like Figure 2As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the display panel further includes a packaging layer. The packaging layer includes a first packaging portion 610 located in the first isolation opening 213. The first packaging portion 610 extends from the first isolation opening 213 to the side of the first isolation portion 210 facing away from the substrate 110.

[0084] In these alternative embodiments, the first packaging portion 610 overlaps the first isolation portion 210 for packaging the non-display area NA. The first packaging portion 610 extends from the first isolation opening 213 to the side of the first isolation portion 210 facing away from the substrate 110, thereby enhancing the packaging effect of the first packaging portion 610. Optionally, the first packaging portion 610 is located on the side of the light-emitting material 510 facing away from the substrate 110.

[0085] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, adjacent two first packaging portions 610 are spaced apart, thereby achieving independent packaging, reducing the diffusion effect of water, oxygen, etc. between the first packaging portions 610, and enhancing the packaging ability.

[0086] As Figure 8 shown, in some alternative embodiments, the packaging layer further includes a second packaging portion 620 located in the second isolation opening 221. The second packaging portion 620 is located on the side of the light-emitting unit 520 facing away from the substrate 110. The second packaging portion 620 extends from the second isolation opening 221 to the side of the second isolation portion 220 facing away from the substrate 110.

[0087] In these alternative embodiments, the second packaging portion 620 can reduce the entry of water, oxygen, etc. into the light-emitting unit 520 and cause damage to the light-emitting unit 520, so as to enhance the reliability of the light-emitting unit 520. The second packaging portion 620 extends from the second isolation opening 221 to the side of the second isolation portion 220 facing away from the substrate 110, increasing the distribution area of the packaging portion and enhancing the packaging effect.

[0088] Optionally, as Figure 8 shown, adjacent two second packaging portions 620 are spaced apart, thereby achieving independent packaging, reducing the diffusion effect of water, oxygen, etc. between the second packaging portions 620, and enhancing the packaging ability.

[0091] Optional, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second electrode layer further includes a second electrode 702 located on the side of the light emitting unit 520 away from the substrate 110 , and one of the first electrode 701 and the second electrode 702 serves as an anode of the light emitting unit 520 , and the other serves as a cathode of the light emitting unit 520 .
