[0049] As described in the background art section, the inventors have found through research that there is no display panel that can achieve both energy saving and viewing angle setting. The application scenarios of display panels that can achieve both energy saving and viewing angle setting are broad. For example, for a display panel used in a vehicle, a display panel with a narrow viewing angle is required to achieve the anti-peeping function. At the same time, how to save energy has always been an issue under exploration, but there is no display panel that can simultaneously achieve the integrated functions of a narrow viewing angle and energy saving.
[0050] Based on the above technical problems, the inventors have found through research that the first encapsulation layer is disposed on the side of the light-emitting functional layer away from the substrate, and a photoelectric conversion functional layer is disposed on the side of the first encapsulation layer away from the substrate. The photoelectric conversion functional layer includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion devices. The orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion device on the plane where the surfaces of the plurality of light-emitting units away from the substrate are located is the first projection. The display panel further includes a plurality of first openings that penetrate at least the light-emitting functional layer and the first encapsulation layer. The photoelectric conversion device is electrically connected to the corresponding photoelectric drive circuit through the corresponding first opening. The first projection is located between two adjacent light-emitting units. In this way, the integrated functions of a narrow viewing angle and energy saving can be achieved simultaneously, and there are beneficial effects in many aspects. In the first aspect, the first projection is located between two adjacent light-emitting units, so that the photoelectric conversion device does not block the direct-viewing light emitted by the light-emitting unit, and the photoelectric conversion device blocks the large-viewing-angle (oblique-viewing-angle) light emitted by the light-emitting unit, thereby enabling narrow-viewing-angle display. In the second aspect, by controlling the distance between the first projection and two adjacent light-emitting units, and the distance from the photoelectric conversion device to the plane where the surfaces of the plurality of light-emitting units away from the substrate are located in the plane perpendicular to the substrate, the range of the narrow viewing angle can be set, thereby achieving viewing angle design. In the third aspect, the photoelectric conversion device can absorb the large-viewing-angle (oblique-viewing-angle) light emitted by the light-emitting unit, convert the light energy into electrical energy again, and reuse the large-viewing-angle light, having an energy-saving effect. In the fourth aspect, the photoelectric conversion device is electrically connected to the corresponding photoelectric drive circuit through the corresponding first opening, and the array composite layer includes a plurality of photoelectric drive circuits, so that the photoelectric conversion function is well integrated into the display panel, simplifying the manufacturing process, and the display panel has the advantages of being thin and light. The multiple embodiments of the present application have the beneficial effects of at least any one of the above four aspects.
[0051] The above is the core idea of this application. Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application.

[0053] Figure 6 It is a top view schematic diagram of an optoelectronic conversion layer of a display panel provided by an embodiment of this application.
[0054] The present application provides a display panel 100, which includes a substrate 11, an array composite layer 10, a light-emitting functional layer 156, a first encapsulation layer 30, and a photoelectric conversion functional layer 50. The array composite layer 10 is located on one side of the substrate 11, and the array composite layer 10 includes a plurality of optoelectronic driving circuits 1460. The light-emitting functional layer 156 is located on the side of the array composite layer 10 away from the substrate 11, and the light-emitting functional layer 156 includes a plurality of light-emitting units 156f. The first encapsulation layer 30 is located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 156 away from the substrate 11. The photoelectric conversion functional layer 50 is located on the side of the first encapsulation layer 30 away from the substrate 11, and the photoelectric conversion functional layer 50 includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion devices 50g. The orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion device 50g on the plane where the surfaces of the plurality of light-emitting units 156f away from the substrate 11 are located is a first projection. Among them, the display panel 100 further includes a plurality of first openings 10k, and the first openings 10k penetrate at least the light-emitting functional layer 156 and the first encapsulation layer 30. The photoelectric conversion device 50g is electrically connected to the corresponding optoelectronic driving circuit 1460 through the corresponding first opening 10k, and the first projection is located between two adjacent light-emitting units.
[0055] Exemplarily, the photoelectric conversion functional layer 50 includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion devices 50g. The photoelectric conversion devices 50g can absorb light to generate photocurrent and convert light energy into electrical energy.
[0056] Exemplarily, the array composite layer 10 may include a plurality of driving circuits for driving the light-emitting units 156f to emit light and a plurality of signal traces. For example, the array composite layer 10 may include pixel driving circuits. For example, the array composite layer 10 may include a plurality of data signal lines and a plurality of scan driving signal lines, etc.
[0057] Exemplarily, the display panel 100 may be an OLED panel, but is not limited thereto. The display panel 100 may also be other types of display panels. When the display panel 100 is an OLED panel, the light-emitting unit 156f may be a light-emitting device.
[0058] Exemplarily, the first encapsulation layer 30 is disposed between the light-emitting functional layer 156 and the photoelectric conversion functional layer 50. In the manufacturing process of the display panel 100, the production of the first encapsulation layer 30 has been completed before the production of the photoelectric conversion functional layer 50. When the photoelectric conversion functional layer 50 is produced, the first encapsulation layer 30 can protect the light-emitting functional layer 156 from being damaged.
[0059] Exemplarily, the first encapsulation layer 30 is disposed between the light-emitting functional layer 156 and the photoelectric conversion functional layer 50. By controlling the thickness of the first encapsulation layer 30, the distance from the photoelectric conversion device 50g in the plane perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 11 is located to the plane where the surfaces of the plurality of light-emitting units 156f away from the substrate 11 are located can be controlled, so that the range of narrow viewing angles can be set.
[0060] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, for multiple light-emitting units 156f, the plane away from the surface of the substrate 11 is the first plane 156f1, and the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion device 50g on the plane away from the surface of the substrate 11 of the multiple light-emitting units 156f is the first projection, that is, the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion device 50g on the first plane 156f1 is the first projection.
[0061] Exemplarily, the first projection is located between two adjacent light-emitting units, so that the photoelectric conversion device 50g does not block the front-view light emitted by the light-emitting unit, and the photoelectric conversion device 50g blocks the large-view (oblique-view) light emitted by the light-emitting unit.
[0062] Exemplarily, the first opening 10k penetrates at least through the light-emitting functional layer 156 and the first encapsulation layer 30. The photoelectric conversion device 50g is electrically connected to the corresponding photoelectric drive circuit 1460 through the corresponding first opening 10k. When there are other film layers between the photoelectric conversion device 50g and the photoelectric drive circuit 1460, the first opening 10k can also penetrate through other film layers between the photoelectric conversion device 50g and the photoelectric drive circuit 1460, so that the photoelectric conversion device 50g is electrically connected to the corresponding photoelectric drive circuit 1460 through the corresponding first opening 10k.
[0063] Exemplarily, when the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 156f irradiates the semiconductor material in the photoelectric conversion device 50g, photons are absorbed by the semiconductor material in the photoelectric conversion device 50g, causing electrons to be excited from atoms to form electron-hole pairs. Under the action of the built-in electric field of the PN junction in the photoelectric conversion device 50g, the electrons and holes move in opposite directions respectively, thereby forming a photo-generated electric field opposite to the direction of the potential barrier near the PN junction in the photoelectric conversion device 50g. The photo-generated electric field not only partially cancels the action of the potential barrier electric field, but also generates an electromotive force and current between the P region and the N region, converting light energy into electrical energy, and then supplying power to the load light-emitting unit 156f through the photoelectric drive circuit 1460.
[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the first encapsulation layer 30 is disposed on a side of the light-emitting functional layer 156 away from the substrate 11.

The first openings 10k penetrate at least the light-emitting functional layer 156 and the first encapsulation layer 30. The photoelectric conversion device 50g is electrically connected to the corresponding photoelectric drive circuit 1460 through the corresponding first opening 10k. The first projection is located between two adjacent light-emitting units. In this way, the integrated functions of narrow viewing angle and energy saving can be achieved simultaneously, and there are beneficial effects in many aspects. In the first aspect, the first projection is located between two adjacent light-emitting units, so that the photoelectric conversion device 50g does not block the front-view light emitted by the light-emitting unit, and the photoelectric conversion device 50g blocks the large-view (oblique-view) light emitted by the light-emitting unit, so that narrow-view display can be realized. In the second aspect, by controlling the distance between the first projection and two adjacent light-emitting units, and the distance from the photoelectric conversion device 50g to the plane where the surfaces of the plurality of light-emitting units 156f away from the substrate 11 are located in a plane perpendicular to the substrate 11, the range of the narrow viewing angle can be set, so as to realize the viewing angle design. In the third aspect, the photoelectric conversion device 50g can absorb the large-view (oblique-view) light emitted by the light-emitting unit, convert the light energy into electric energy again, and reuse the large-view light, which has the effect of energy saving. In the fourth aspect, the photoelectric conversion device 50g is electrically connected to the corresponding photoelectric drive circuit 1460 through the corresponding first opening 10k. The array composite layer 10 includes a plurality of photoelectric drive circuits 1460, so that the photoelectric conversion function is well integrated into the display panel 100, simplifies the manufacturing process, and the display panel 100 has the advantages of being thin and light.
