[0039] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0040] In addition, for better illustration of the present application, numerous specific details are given in the following detailed implementation manners. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application can be implemented without some specific details. In some instances, methods and means well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail so as to highlight the gist of the present application.
[0041] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.
[0042] In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used for distinguishing descriptions and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0043] In the first aspect of the present application, a display panel is provided. Referring to Figure 1 the schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the display panel shown, the display panel includes a display area AA and an alignment mark area S1, and the alignment mark area S1 is located on at least part of the peripheral side of the display area AA.
[0044] Optionally, the display panel further includes a border area NA that at least partially surrounds the display area AA, and the alignment mark area S1 is located in the border area NA. Thus, the setting of the alignment mark area S1 hardly affects the display effect of the display panel.
[0045] Optionally, referring to Figures 2 to 4 the top view structural schematic diagram of the display panel shown, in the first direction x, the alignment mark area S1 is located on at least one side of the display area AA; in the second direction y, the alignment mark area S1 is located on at least one side of the display area AA; the first direction x intersects with the second direction y.
[0046] For example, referring to Figure 2 , in the first direction x, the alignment mark area S1 is located on one side of the display area AA; for example, referring to Figure 3 , in the second direction y, the alignment mark area S1 is located on one side of the display area AA; for another example, referring to Figure 4 , in the first direction x, the alignment mark area S1 is located on both sides of the display area AA; in the second direction y, the alignment mark area S1 is located on both sides of the display area AA. It can be understood that as long as there is the alignment mark area S1, accurate identification of the display panel can be realized, which is beneficial to realizing accurate alignment between the display panel and the remaining film layers, for example, facilitating accurate alignment between the display panel and the cover plate. It can be understood that the larger the area occupied by the alignment mark area S1 in the border area NA, the more accurate the alignment.
[0047] For example, the alignment mark area S1 coincides with the border area NA, and the orthographic projection of the second isolation structure 300 on the substrate 100 coincides with the orthographic projection of the alignment mark area S1 on the substrate 100.
[0048] Optionally, the display panel includes: a substrate 100, a first isolation structure 200, a second isolation structure 300, a plurality of light-emitting devices 400, and a first conductive layer 510.
[0049] Optionally, the first isolation structure 200 is located on one side of the substrate 100 and in the display area AA, and the first isolation structure 200 encloses a plurality of first isolation openings 210; at least part of the light-emitting devices 400 are located in the first isolation openings 210.
[0050] Optionally, the second isolation structure 300 and the first isolation structure 200 are located on the same side of the substrate 100 and in the alignment mark area S1, and the second isolation structure 300 encloses a plurality of second isolation openings 310.
[0051] Optionally, the reflectivity of the first isolation opening 210 is different from that of the second isolation opening 310. It can be understood that the different reflectivities of the first isolation opening 210 and the second isolation opening 310 mean that after the same light is irradiated into the first isolation opening 210 and the second isolation opening 310, the reflectivities of the light reflected by the first isolation opening 210 and the second isolation opening 310 are different. For example, the first isolation opening 210 and the second isolation opening 310 have different film layer structures, and the film layer structures in the first isolation opening 210 and the second isolation opening 310 have different reflectivities for light.
[0052] In one embodiment, the light-emitting device 400 includes a first electrode layer 410, a first light-emitting functional layer 420, and a second electrode layer 430 stacked in sequence. The first electrode layer 410 is located between the first isolation structure 200 and the substrate 100, and at least a part of the first electrode layer 410 is exposed to the first isolation opening 210; the light-emitting functional layer 420 and the second electrode layer 430 are located in the first isolation opening 210.
[0053] For example, the first electrode layer 410 may be an anode, and the second electrode layer 430 may be a cathode. The first light-emitting functional layer 420 includes a light-emitting layer (Emitting Layer, EML), and may further include at least one of a hole injection layer (Hole Inject Layer, HIL), a hole transport layer (Hole Transport Layer, HTL), and an electron blocking layer (Electron-Blocking Layer, EBL) located between the anode and the light-emitting layer (EML), and at least one of an electron injection layer (Electron Inject Layer, EIL), an electron transport layer (Electron Transport Layer, ETL), and a hole blocking layer (Hole-Blocking Layer, HBL) located between the cathode and the light-emitting layer (EML).
[0054] Optionally, a first conductive layer 510 is located between the second isolation structure 300 and the substrate 100, at least a part of the first conductive layer 510 is exposed to the second isolation opening 310, and the reflectivity of the first conductive layer 510 is different from that of the light-emitting device 400. According to the display panel provided by the embodiments of the present application, since the reflectivity of the first conductive layer 510 is different from that of the light-emitting device 400, when aligning the display panel, the alignment mark area S1 can be clearly identified. For example, when aligning the display panel with the cover plate, it is beneficial to accurately fit the cover plate and the display panel, and the alignment accuracy is relatively high.
[0055] The inventors of the present application found that in the display panels of the prior art, referring to Figure 5Schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the display panel shown. In both the display area AA and the border area NA, a first isolation structure 200 is included, such that the isolation structures and the distribution of the isolation openings in the display area AA and the border area NA are the same. Although the above structure is beneficial to improving the etching uniformity of the first isolation opening 210 and beneficial to improving the yield of the display panel. However, the problem in the prior art is that due to the consistency of the first isolation structure 200 in the display area AA and the border area NA, when aligning the display panel, it is impossible to accurately obtain the edge of the display area AA or the edge of the border area NA close to the display area AA, resulting in only being able to align the cover plate with the outer shape of the display panel during alignment. There are problems with the cutting accuracy of the display panel or the cover plate, resulting in a lower bonding accuracy, and thus a lower yield of the obtained display module.
[0056] In view of the above problems, the inventors of the present application set a alignment mark area S1 in the border area NA, and no other film layers are provided in the second isolation opening 310 in the alignment mark area S1, and the first conductive layer 510 is directly exposed in the second isolation opening 310. The reflectivity of the first conductive layer 510 is different from the reflectivity of the light-emitting device 400. When aligning the display panel and the cover plate, the position of the alignment mark area S1 can be accurately obtained, and then the edge position of the display area AA can be obtained, realizing the accurate alignment of the display panel and the cover plate.
[0057] For example, the first electrode layer 410 and the first conductive layer 510 are provided on the same layer. Another example is that the first electrode layer 410 and the first conductive layer 510 are made of the same material. Since there are also a first light-emitting functional layer 420 and a second electrode layer 430 on the side of the first electrode layer 410 facing away from the substrate 100, the reflectivity of the first conductive layer 510 is greater than the reflectivity of the light-emitting device 400.
[0058] In one embodiment, the second isolation structure 300 and the first isolation structure 200 are provided on the same layer. Thus, it is convenient to prepare the second isolation structure 300 and the first isolation structure 200 by using the same manufacturing process.
[0059] Optionally, referring to Figure 1, the first isolation structure 200 includes a stacked first part 201 and a second part 202. The first part 201 is located on the side of the second part 202 away from the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the second part 202 on the substrate 100 is within the orthographic projection of the first part 201 on the substrate 100. Exemplarily, the second part 202 can be designed as an independent film layer, that is, there is no physical interface inside the second part 202, and each part is made of the same material. For example, the material of the second part 202 is aluminum. Alternatively, the second part 202 can be designed to be composed of at least two stacked film layers. For example, the second part 202 is formed by stacking two conductive film layers. The materials of the two conductive film layers can be molybdenum and aluminum respectively, and the conductive film layer made of molybdenum is located between the substrate 100 and the conductive film layer made of aluminum. Exemplarily, the second part 202 includes a conductive sub-part, or the second part 202 itself is a conductive structure. The second part 202 is overlapped with the first electrode layer 410 of the light-emitting device 400 to electrically connect the first electrode layers 410 of adjacent light-emitting devices 400 to achieve a full-surface cathode. The material of the first part 201 can be an organic material, an inorganic material, or a metal material. In the case where the first part 201 is a metal material, the material of the first part 201 can be titanium.
[0060] Optionally, referring to Figure 7 , the second isolation structure 300 includes a stacked third part 301 and a fourth part 302. The third part 301 is located on the side of the fourth part 302 away from the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the fourth part 302 on the substrate 100 is within the orthographic projection of the third part 301 on the substrate 100.
[0061] For example, the first part 201 and the third part 301 are arranged on the same layer, and the second part 202 and the fourth part 302 are arranged on the same layer.
[0062] Optionally, the first isolation structure 200 further includes a fifth part 203, which is located on the side of the second part 202 close to the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the second part 202 on the substrate 100 is within the orthographic projection of the fifth part 203 on the substrate 100.
[0063] Optionally, the second isolation structure 300 further includes a sixth part 303, which is located on the side of the fourth part 302 close to the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the fourth part 302 on the substrate 100 is within the orthographic projection of the sixth part 303 on the substrate 100. For example, the fifth part 203 and the sixth part 303 are arranged on the same layer.
[0064] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6In the schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown, the first conductive layer 510 includes a plurality of first sub-conductive layers 511, the substrate 100 includes a second conductive layer 110, and adjacent first sub-conductive layers 511 are electrically connected through the second conductive layer 110. Thus, it is beneficial to connect the first sub-conductive layers 511 arranged at intervals as a whole, and can be used as a shielding layer to avoid interference between the gate drive signal line (GiP signal line) and the touch control trace (TP trace line) in the panel in the substrate 100.
[0065] It can be understood that the gate driving signal line (GiP signal line) in the panel is located on a side of the second conductive layer 110 away from the first sub-conductive layer 511 .
[0066] Optionally, the display panel further includes a frame area NA, which at least partially surrounds the display area AA; the first conductive layer 510 and the second conductive layer 110 are located in the frame area NA.
[0067] For example, the display panel includes a non-display area, the non-display area surrounds the display area AA, and the frame area NA is located in the non-display area.
[0068] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 The substrate 100 further includes an insulating layer 120 located between the first conductive layer 510 and the second conductive layer 110 . The insulating layer 120 includes a through hole 121 . The first conductive layer 510 extends to the through hole 121 and is electrically connected to the second conductive layer 110 .
[0069] In a specific embodiment, the first sub-conductive layer 511 is a mesh structure, and the second conductive layer 110 is also a mesh structure, and the first sub-conductive layer 511 and the second conductive layer 110 are electrically connected by a wire.
[0070] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The display panel further includes a pixel defining layer 1000.

[0132] It can be understood that when manufacturing the second isolation opening 310, there is a preset distance between the edge of the first sub-isolation opening 311 close to the display region AA and the boundary of the display region AA. After identifying the first straight line L1 and the second straight line L2, perform an operation on the positions of the first straight line L1 and the second straight line L2 with the preset distance, and the boundary position of the display region AA can be obtained.
