[0094] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the 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 of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0095] In addition, in order to better illustrate the present application, numerous specific details are given in the following detailed description. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application can also be implemented without some specific details. In some examples, methods and means well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the main ideas of the present application.

[0096] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0097] In addition, if the terms "first", "second", etc. are used, they are only used to distinguish description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0098] The first aspect of the present application provides a display panel, referring to Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of a display panel, which includes a display area AA and a positioning mark area S1. The positioning mark area S1 is located on at least a part of the periphery of the display area AA.

[0099] Optionally, the display panel further includes a non-display area NA, which at least partially surrounds the display area AA, and the positioning mark area S1 is located in the non-display area NA. In this way, the setting of the positioning mark area S1 hardly affects the display effect of the display panel.

[0100] Optionally, referring to Figures 2 to 4 FIG. 2 is a top view structural schematic diagram of a display panel, in which, in a first direction x, the positioning mark area S1 is located on at least one side of the display area AA; in a second direction y, the positioning mark area S1 is located on at least one side of the display area AA; and the first direction x intersects the second direction y.

[0101] For example, referring to Figure 2 in the first direction x, the positioning 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 positioning mark area S1 is located on one side of the display area AA; and for example, referring to Figure 4In 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 the alignment mark area S1 exists, the accurate identification of the display panel can be realized, which is conducive to the accurate alignment of the display panel and the remaining film layers, for example, the accurate alignment of the display panel and the cover plate. It can be understood that the larger the area of the alignment mark area S1 in the frame area NA, the more accurate the alignment.

[0102] For example, the alignment mark area S1 coincides with the frame 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.

[0103] Optionally, the display panel comprises: 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.

[0104] 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 surrounds a plurality of first isolation openings 210; at least part of the light emitting devices 400 are located in the first isolation openings 210.

[0105] Optionally, the second isolation structure 300 is located on the same side of the substrate 100 as the first isolation structure 200 and in the alignment mark area S1, and the second isolation structure 300 surrounds a plurality of second isolation openings 310.

[0106] Optionally, the reflectivity of the first isolation opening 210 is different from the reflectivity of the second isolation opening 310. It can be understood that the reflectivity of the first isolation opening 210 is different from the reflectivity of the second isolation opening 310 means that after the same light is irradiated into the first isolation opening 210 and the second isolation opening 310, the reflectivity of the light reflected by the first isolation opening 210 and the second isolation opening 310 is different. For example, the first isolation opening 210 and the second isolation opening 310 have different film layer structures, and the reflectivity of the light to the film layer structures in the first isolation opening 210 and the second isolation opening 310 is different.

[0107] In one embodiment, the light emitting device 400 comprises a first electrode layer 410, a first light emitting functional layer 420 and a second electrode layer 430 which are sequentially stacked, the first electrode layer 410 is located between the first isolation structure 200 and the substrate 100, and at least 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.

[0108] For example, the first electrode layer 410 can be an anode, and the second electrode layer 430 can be a cathode. The first light-emitting functional layer 420 includes an emitting layer (EML), and can further include at least one of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), and an electron-blocking layer (EBL) between the anode and the emitting layer (EML), and at least one of an electron injection layer (EIL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and a hole-blocking layer (HBL) between the cathode and the emitting layer (EML).

[0109] Optionally, the first conductive layer 510 is located between the second isolation structure 300 and the substrate 100, at least 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 the reflectivity of the light-emitting device 400. According to the display panel provided in the embodiments of the present application, the reflectivity of the first conductive layer 510 is different from the reflectivity of the light-emitting device 400, and the alignment mark area S1 can be clearly identified when the display panel is aligned. For example, when the display panel is aligned with the cover plate, the cover plate and the display panel can be precisely laminated, and the alignment accuracy is high.

[0110] The inventors of the present application find that in the prior art display panel, referring to Figure 5 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the display panel is shown in the figure, and the first isolation structure 200 is included in the display area AA and the frame area NA, so that the distribution of the isolation structure and the isolation opening of the display area AA and the frame area NA is consistent. Although the above structure is beneficial to improve the etching uniformity of the first isolation opening 210 and improve 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 frame area NA, the edge of the display area AA or the edge close to the display area AA of the frame area NA cannot be accurately obtained when the display panel is aligned, so that only the appearance of the cover plate and the display panel can be aligned when aligned, and the cutting accuracy of the display panel or the cover plate is poor, which leads to low lamination accuracy, and thus the yield of the display module obtained is low.

[0111] To solve the above problems, the inventors of the present application set a positioning mark area S1 in the frame area NA, and do not set other film layers in the second isolation opening 310 in the positioning mark area S1, so that the first conductive layer 510 is directly exposed in the second isolation opening 310, and the reflectivity of the first conductive layer 510 is different from the reflectivity of the light emitting device 400. When the display panel and the cover plate are positioned, the position of the positioning mark area S1 can be accurately obtained, and then the edge position of the display area AA can be obtained, so that the accurate positioning of the display panel and the cover plate is realized.

[0112] For example, the first electrode layer 410 is provided in the same layer as the first conductive layer 510. For another example, the first electrode layer 410 is made of the same material as the first conductive layer 510. Since the first electrode layer 410 is away from the substrate 100 on the side of the first light emitting functional layer 420 and the second electrode layer 430, the reflectivity of the first conductive layer 510 is greater than the reflectivity of the light emitting device 400.

[0113] In one embodiment, the second isolation structure 300 is provided in the same layer as the first isolation structure 200. Thus, the second isolation structure 300 and the first isolation structure 200 can be prepared by the same preparation process.

[0114] Optionally, referring to Figure 1 The first isolation structure 200 includes a 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 located in the orthographic projection range of the first part 201 on the substrate 100. For example, the second part 202 can be designed as an independent film layer, that is, there is no physical interface in 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 as a structure 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. For example, the second part 202 includes a conductive subpart, or the second part 202 itself is a conductive structure. The second part 202 and the first electrode layer 410 of the light emitting device 400 are overlapped to electrically connect the first electrode layers 410 of adjacent light emitting devices 400 to each other, so as to realize the full-area 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.

[0115] Optionally, referring to Figure 7The second isolation structure 300 includes a stacked third portion 301 and a fourth portion 302, the third portion 301 is located on the side of the fourth portion 302 facing away from the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the fourth portion 302 on the substrate 100 is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the third portion 301 on the substrate 100.

[0116] 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.

[0117] Optionally, the first isolation structure 200 further includes a fifth portion 203 located on a side of the second portion 202 close to the substrate 100 , and the orthographic projection of the second portion 202 on the substrate 100 is within the orthographic projection range of the fifth portion 203 on the substrate 100 .

[0118] Optionally, the second isolation structure 300 further includes a sixth portion 303 located on a side of the fourth portion 302 close to the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the fourth portion 302 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the sixth portion 303 on the substrate 100. For example, the fifth portion 203 and the sixth portion 303 are disposed on the same layer.

[0119] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 In the schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown, the first conductive layer 510 includes multiple first sub-conductive layers 511, and the substrate 100 includes a second conductive layer 110. Adjacent first sub-conductive layers 511 are electrically connected via the second conductive layer 110. This facilitates connecting the spaced first sub-conductive layers 511 as a whole, which can serve as a shielding layer to prevent interference between the panel's gate drive signal lines (GiP signal lines) and the touch control traces (TP trace lines) in the substrate 100.

[0120] 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 .

[0121] 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.

[0125] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the display panel further includes a pixel defining layer 1000. In the display area AA, the pixel defining layer 1000 surrounds a plurality of pixel openings 1100. In the alignment mark area S1, the pixel defining layer 1000 surrounds a plurality of first redundant pixel openings 1200. The orthographic projection of the pixel openings 1100 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection range of the first isolation openings 210 on the substrate 100. The orthographic projection of the first redundant pixel openings 1200 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection range of the second isolation openings 310 on the substrate 100. The first conductive layer 510 is at least partially exposed to the first redundant pixel openings 1200 and the second isolation openings 310. Thus, the first conductive layer 510 exposed in the first redundant pixel openings 1200 and the second isolation openings 310 has different reflectivity from the light emitting device 400.

[0126] For example, the first electrode layer 410 is exposed to the pixel openings 1100 and the first isolation openings 210.

The first sub-isolation openings 311 are adjacent to the edges of the display area AA and are arranged circumferentially along the edges of the display area AA. For example, the orthographic projection of the first sub-isolation openings 311 on the substrate 100 is located on the same straight line close to the edges of the display area AA. For example, in the first direction x, the orthographic projection of the first sub-isolation openings 311 on the substrate 100 located on the same side of the display area AA is located on the same straight line L1 close to the edges of the display area AA. In the second direction y, the orthographic projection of the first sub-isolation openings 311 on the substrate 100 located on the same side of the display area AA is located on the same straight line L2 close to the edges of the display area AA.

For example, the redundant light emitting device 700 comprises a third conductive layer 710, a third light emitting functional layer 720 and a fourth conductive layer 730, and the fourth conductive layer 730 overlaps with the third isolation structure 600. Thus, the third isolation structure 600 is conductive, and after overlapping with the fourth conductive layer 730, it can act as a shielding layer to prevent interference between the gate driving signal line (GiP signal line) in the substrate 100 and the touch trace 800 (TP trace line).

[0133] Optionally, the redundant light emitting device 700 is arranged in the same layer as the light emitting device 400. For example, the third light emitting functional layer 720 is arranged in the same layer as the first light emitting functional layer 420, the third conductive layer 710 is arranged in the same layer as the first electrode layer 410, and the fourth conductive layer 730 is arranged in the same layer as the second electrode layer 430. The third isolation structure 600 and the redundant light emitting device 700 can be prepared by the same preparation process.

[0134] Optionally, the second isolation structure 300 is electrically connected with the third isolation structure 600. For example, adjacent second isolation structure 300 and third isolation structure 600 overlap through the fourth conductive layer 730.

[0135] For example, the isolation structure between adjacent second isolation opening 310 and third isolation opening 610 is the second isolation structure 300 or the third isolation structure 600.

In some embodiments, the substrate substrate can include an organic resin material such as epoxy, triazine, silicone, or polyimide.

For example, the substrate substrate can be a metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) or a metal copper clad laminate (MCCL).

[0137] For example, the substrate 100 includes a gate driving signal line (GiP signal line), and in the frame area NA, the GiP signal line is prone to interference with the touch trace; in the frame area NA of one embodiment of the present application, the first conductive layer 510 and the second conductive layer 110 are overlapped, and the third isolation structure 600 and the redundant light emitting device 700 are overlapped, the entire frame area forms a conductive layer, which is beneficial to avoid interference between the GiP signal line and the touch trace.

In this way, the first sub-conductive layers 511 arranged at intervals can be connected as a whole, which can act as a shielding layer to avoid interference between the panel gate driving signal line (GiP signal line) and the touch trace line (TP trace line) in the substrate 100.

[0173] It is understandable that the length of the exposed first conductive layer 510 near the edge of the display area AA in the area enclosed by the touch trace 800 satisfies the alignment and gripping length, thus meeting the requirement.

[0174] It can be understood that the side of the first isolation structure 200 and the second isolation structure 300 away from the substrate has an encapsulation layer 10, and the encapsulation layer 10 includes a first encapsulation layer 11, a second encapsulation layer 12, and a third encapsulation layer 13.

[0184] The reflectivity of the first conductive layer is different from that of the first electrode layer on the first surface. In the first image, the pattern corresponding to the first conductive layer is brighter, and the pattern corresponding to the first electrode layer is darker.

[0186] In one embodiment, the second isolation opening 310 includes a first sub-isolation opening 311 adjacent to the edge of the display area AA and arranged circumferentially along the edge of the display area AA. The step of determining the boundary of the display area or the frame area based on the first image (the schematic diagram of the first image can be referred to Figure 17 ) includes: determining that the first sub-isolation opening 311 is close to the edge of the display area AA based on the first image; fitting the edges on the same side of the display area AA as a first straight line L1 in a first direction x; fitting the edges on the same side of the display area AA as a second straight line L2 in a second direction y; the first direction x intersects the second direction y; and determining the boundary of the display area AA or the frame area NA based on the first straight line L1 and the second straight line L2.

[0187] It can be understood that when the second isolation opening 310 is made, the first sub-isolation opening 311 has a preset distance between the edge close to the display area AA and the boundary of the display area AA. After the first straight line L1 and the second straight line L2 are recognized, the positions of the first straight line L1 and the second straight line L2 are operated with the preset distance, and the boundary position of the display area AA can be obtained.
