[0062] One end of the bonding connection wire is welded to the second bonding electrode at the overlapping position of the positive projections of the third opening and the first opening, and the other end of the bonding connection wire is welded to the bonding electrode of the peripheral circuit board.
[0063] In some embodiments, the number of the bonding connection wires is multiple.
[0064] Each bonding connection wire correspondingly electrically connects a second bonding electrode and a bonding electrode of the peripheral circuit board;
[0065] The multiple bonding connection wires are wrapped with a protective adhesive, and the protective adhesive can insulate the adjacent bonding connection wires from each other.
[0066] In some embodiments, the material of the bonding connection wire includes aluminum.
[0067] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing the above display panel, which includes: preparing a display substrate;
[0068] A third insulating layer, a pixel defining layer, and a packaging layer are sequentially prepared on one side of the display substrate, and a second opening is formed in the third insulating layer, the pixel defining layer, and the packaging layer through a single etching process, and the first bonding electrode and the third bonding electrode in the display substrate are exposed at the second opening;
[0069] Then, a third opening in the third insulating layer, the pixel defining layer, and the packaging layer and a first opening in the first insulating layer of the display substrate are formed through a single etching process, and the second bonding electrode in the display substrate is exposed at the overlapping area of the positive projections of the third opening and the first opening;

[0072] In the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, by making the distance between the surface of the first bonding electrode facing away from the substrate and the substrate greater than the distance between the surface of the second bonding electrode facing away from the substrate and the substrate, there is a step height difference between the surface of the first bonding electrode facing away from the substrate and the surface of the second bonding electrode facing away from the substrate. When the first bonding electrode and the display driving circuit are bonded and connected by hot pressing an anisotropic conductive adhesive, even if the anisotropic conductive adhesive overflows to the hot pressing welding surface of the second bonding electrode and the bonding connection wire when being extruded, it will not cause a short circuit between adjacent second bonding electrodes or bonding connection wires. Because when the second bonding electrode and the bonding connection wire are hot pressed and welded, the gold ball particles in the anisotropic conductive adhesive will not be flattened, so the anisotropic conductive adhesive overflowing to the hot pressing welding surface of the second bonding electrode and the bonding connection wire will not conduct electricity. Therefore, the anisotropic conductive adhesive overflowing to the hot pressing welding surface of the second bonding electrode and the bonding connection wire will not cause a short circuit between adjacent second bonding electrodes or adjacent bonding connection wires. Furthermore, the reserved spacing for tolerating glue overflow between the first bonding electrode and the second bonding electrode can be shortened or eliminated, thereby reducing the width of the bonding area in the direction away from the display area and improving the cutting efficiency of the wafer. In addition, due to the step height difference between the surface of the first bonding electrode facing away from the substrate and the surface of the second bonding electrode facing away from the substrate, when hot pressing and bonding the connection wire to bond it with the second bonding electrode, it will not cause secondary damage to the already bonded display driving circuit.
[0073] The display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, by adopting the display substrate in the above embodiments, on the one hand, can shorten or eliminate the reserved spacing for tolerating glue overflow between the first bonding electrode and the second bonding electrode, thereby reducing the width of the bonding area in the direction away from the display area and improving the cutting efficiency of the wafer; on the other hand, when hot pressing and bonding the connection wire to bond it with the second bonding electrode, it will not cause secondary damage to the already bonded display driving circuit; on the third hand, the second bonding electrode and the bonding connection wire can be easily bonded by hot pressing, and the bonding impedance between the second bonding electrode and the bonding connection wire can be reduced to ensure stable reliability.

[0090] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following further describes in detail a display substrate, a display panel, and a manufacturing method thereof provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0091] In the following, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the disclosed embodiments may be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0092] The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but include modifications to the configurations formed based on the manufacturing process. Therefore, the regions illustrated in the drawings have schematic properties, and the shapes of the regions shown in the drawings illustrate the specific shapes of the regions, but are not intended to be restrictive.
[0093] In the related art, with the continuous iteration of silicon-based OLED products, different from the silicon-based MDL (module) form of One Chip (single chip, that is, directly integrating the display driver integrated circuit (DDIC) on the display panel, and the display panel can be regarded as a single chip), the silicon-based MDL (module) form of Two chip (dual chip, that is, the display driver integrated circuit (DDIC) and the display panel are separately provided, and the display driver integrated circuit needs to be bonded and connected to the display panel) has a higher product yield. In the silicon-based MDL (module) of Two chip, the bonding forms of the display driver integrated circuit (DDIC) include COC (that is, chip on chip, that is, bonding the display driver integrated circuit on the display panel through anisotropic conductive adhesive) and COF (that is, bonding and connecting the display panel and the display driver integrated circuit through a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), such as one end of the flexible printed circuit board is bonded to the display panel and the other end is bonded to the display driver integrated circuit), etc. The bonding forms of the above-mentioned display panel after completing the bonding of the display driver integrated circuit with the peripheral circuit board (such as a PCB circuit board) include FPC (that is, a flexible printed circuit board, that is, bonding and connecting the display panel with the peripheral circuit board through a flexible printed circuit board) and Wire (that is, bonding and connecting the display panel with the peripheral circuit board through a wire, and then coating the wire with insulating glue for protection). The bonding form of the display driver integrated circuit and the display panel adopting the COC form + the bonding form of the display panel and the peripheral circuit board adopting the Wire form has better bonding impedance stability in theory than the bonding form of the display driver integrated circuit and the display panel adopting the COC form + the bonding form of the display panel and the peripheral circuit board adopting the FPC form.
[0094] Figure 1aIt is a schematic cross-sectional view of the bonding area of the display panel in the related art. The bonding form between the display driving chip 24 and the display panel adopts the COC form, and the bonding form between the display panel and the peripheral circuit board adopts the Wire form. As Figure 1a shown, the display panel includes a display area 100 and a bonding area 101. The output connection terminals (Output Pad) 25, input connection terminals (Input Pad) 26 required for bonding the display driving chip 24 on the display panel, and the wire connection terminals (Wire Pad) 27 required for bonding the peripheral circuit board on the display panel are located in the bonding area 101 and on the same layer and the same horizontal plane. The output connection terminals 25, input connection terminals 26, and wire connection terminals 27 are arranged in sequence along the direction away from the display area 100. These three types of connection terminals (Pad) all adopt a film layer structure of TATI (titanium, aluminum, titanium, indium tin oxide) stacked in sequence, and the indium tin oxide film layer is located on the surface layer of the connection terminal.
[0095] Figure 1b It is a schematic top view of the arrangement of the output connection terminal, input connection terminal, and wire connection terminal in the display panel of the related art. Among them, the output connection terminal 25 and the input connection terminal 26 are respectively bonded to the corresponding bonding connection terminals (Pad Bump) on the display driving chip 24, and in order to increase the bonding integration, both the output connection terminal 25 and the input connection terminal 26 adopt an interleaved and densely arranged manner. The wire connection terminal 27 adopts a linear arrangement manner.
[0096] Figure 1a and Figure 1bRegarding the structural settings of the display panel, on the one hand, the display driving chip 24 is bonded to the output connection terminal 25 and the input connection terminal 26 on the display panel using an anisotropic conductive adhesive (i.e., ACF conductive adhesive) 22. During bonding, the anisotropic conductive adhesive 22 is squeezed, flattening the gold ball particles inside to achieve electrical connection. During the squeezing process, glue overflow occurs, and the anisotropic conductive adhesive 22 easily overflows onto the thermocompression welding surface between the wire 28 and the wire connection terminal 27. The gold ball particles on the thermocompression welding surface will be flattened and conduct electricity, causing a short circuit between adjacent wires 28 or wire connection terminals 27. Therefore, currently, a spacing L of 500 μm needs to be reserved between the input connection terminal (Input Pad) 26 and the wire connection terminal (Wire Pad) in the display panel to tolerate the glue overflow problem. During the mass production process of the silicon-based OLED display panel, multiple silicon-based OLED display panels are fabricated on the same wafer. Each silicon-based OLED display panel is cut from the same wafer. Reserving a 500-μm spacing L between the input connection terminal (Input Pad) and the wire connection terminal (Wire Pad) in each of the above display panels seriously affects the cutting efficiency of the wafer (i.e., the number of display panels that can be cut from one wafer is small). On the other hand, since the output connection terminal, the input connection terminal, and the wire connection terminal are on the same horizontal plane, and the binding of the display driving chip has been completed before wire bonding. Therefore, when thermocompression bonding the aluminum wire to bond it with the wire connection terminal later, it will cause secondary damage to the already bonded display driving chip. On the further hand, since the wire for connecting the display panel to the peripheral circuit board is made of aluminum, and the wire connection terminal and the wire are connected by thermocompression welding, it is difficult to bond the indium tin oxide (ITO) on the surface of the wire connection terminal with the aluminum wire during thermocompression. Therefore, the binding impedance between the wire connection terminal and the wire is large, and the reliability is unstable.
[0097] To solve the above three problems existing in the related art, on the first hand, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate. Referring to Figure 2a , it is a top view schematic diagram of the structure of the display substrate in the embodiments of the present disclosure; Figure 2b In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the display substrate is along Figure 2aA schematic cross-sectional view of a structure of the AA' cutting line; wherein, it is shown that the display substrate has a display area 100 and a bonding area 101, the bonding area 101 is located at least on one side periphery of the display area 100, the display substrate includes a substrate 1, which is located in the display area 100 and the bonding area 101; a first bonding electrode 2 and a second bonding electrode 3, which are located in the bonding area 101 and on the same side of the substrate 1, the first bonding electrode 2 is located on the side closer to the display area 100 of the second bonding electrode 3, the first bonding electrode 2 is configured to be bonded and connected to the display driving circuit; the second bonding electrode 3 is configured to be bonded and connected to the peripheral circuit board; the first bonding electrode 2 is electrically connected to the second bonding electrode 3; the peripheral circuit board is configured to provide a display signal and a power signal to the display driving circuit; the display driving circuit is configured to provide a display driving signal to the display area 100; the distance h1 between the surface of the first bonding electrode 2 facing away from the substrate 1 and the substrate 1 is greater than the distance h2 between the surface of the second bonding electrode 3 facing away from the substrate 1 and the substrate 1.
[0098] Wherein, the display driving circuit is the display driving chip (DDIC). The first bonding electrode 2 is bonded and connected to the display driving circuit through thermocompression anisotropic conductive adhesive (i.e., ACF conductive adhesive), and the second bonding electrode 3 is bonded and connected to the peripheral circuit board through thermocompression welding of a bonding wire.
[0099] In some embodiments, the substrate 1 is made of single crystal silicon, that is, the display substrate is a silicon-based display substrate, and the display substrate is cut from a wafer, and a wafer can be cut into multiple display substrates. The display substrate can be an AR (Augmented Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality) display substrate. The display substrate can be applied to a portable display device (such as a helmet).
[0100] In this embodiment, by making the distance h1 between the surface of the first bonding electrode 2 facing away from the substrate 1 and the substrate 1 greater than the distance h2 between the surface of the second bonding electrode 3 facing away from the substrate 1 and the substrate 1, there is a step height difference between the surface of the first bonding electrode 2 facing away from the substrate 1 and the surface of the second bonding electrode 3 facing away from the substrate 1. When the first bonding electrode 2 and the display driving circuit are bonded and connected by hot pressing an anisotropic conductive adhesive, even if the anisotropic conductive adhesive overflows to the hot pressing welding surface of the second bonding electrode 3 and the bonding connection wire when being extruded, it will not cause a short circuit between adjacent second bonding electrodes 3 or bonding connection wires. Because when the second bonding electrode 3 and the bonding connection wire are hot pressed and welded, the gold ball particles in the anisotropic conductive adhesive will not be flattened, so the anisotropic conductive adhesive overflowing to the hot pressing welding surface of the second bonding electrode 3 and the bonding connection wire will not conduct electricity. Therefore, the anisotropic conductive adhesive overflowing to the hot pressing welding surface of the second bonding electrode 3 and the bonding connection wire will not cause a short circuit between adjacent second bonding electrodes 3 or adjacent bonding connection wires. Furthermore, the reserved spacing for tolerating glue overflow between the first bonding electrode 2 and the second bonding electrode 3 can be shortened or eliminated, thereby reducing the width of the bonding area 101 in the direction away from the display area 100 and improving the cutting efficiency of the wafer. In addition, due to the step height difference between the surface of the first bonding electrode 2 facing away from the substrate 1 and the surface of the second bonding electrode 3 facing away from the substrate 1, when hot pressing and bonding the connection wire to bond it with the second bonding electrode 3, it will not cause secondary damage to the already bonded display driving circuit.
[0101] In some embodiments, the difference between the distance h1 between the surface of the first bonding electrode 2 facing away from the substrate 1 and the substrate 1 and the distance h2 between the surface of the second bonding electrode 3 facing away from the substrate 1 and the substrate 1 is ≥ 5 μm. This distance difference can ensure that the anisotropic conductive adhesive overflowing to the hot pressing welding surface of the second bonding electrode 3 and the bonding connection wire will not cause a short circuit between adjacent second bonding electrodes 3 or adjacent bonding connection wires. Thus, the reserved spacing for tolerating glue overflow between the first bonding electrode 2 and the second bonding electrode 3 can be shortened or eliminated, and further the cutting efficiency of the wafer can be improved.
[0102] In some embodiments, the distance L3 between the orthographic projection of the first bonding electrode 2 on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the second bonding electrode 3 on the substrate 1 is ≥ 0 and < 500 μm. Thus, the reserved spacing for tolerating glue overflow between the first bonding electrode 2 and the second bonding electrode 3 can be shortened or eliminated, and further the cutting efficiency of the wafer can be improved.
[0103] In some embodiments, the first bonding electrode 2 includes four sub-film layers which are stacked in sequence. Along the direction away from the substrate 1, the materials of the four sub-film layers are titanium, aluminum, titanium, and indium tin oxide in sequence; the material of the second bonding electrode 3 includes aluminum. The bonding connection wire is made of an aluminum wire. Since the second bonding electrode 3 made of aluminum is soft and has good electrical conductivity, it is easy to bond the second bonding electrode 3 and the bonding connection wire by thermocompression, and the bonding impedance between the second bonding electrode 3 and the bonding connection wire can be reduced to ensure stable reliability; at the same time, the second bonding electrode 3 made of aluminum can also absorb the stress generated during the thermocompression of the aluminum wire, reducing the secondary damage to the display driving circuit during the thermocompression process.
[0104] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2b , the first bonding electrode 2 and the second bonding electrode 3 are located on different layers, and a first insulating layer 4 is further provided between the first bonding electrode 2 and the second bonding electrode 3. The display substrate further includes a first connection line 5 and a second connection line 6. The first connection line 5 is on the same layer and made of the same material as the second bonding electrode 3. The first connection line 5 and the first bonding electrode 2 at least partially overlap in the orthographic projection on the substrate 1. The first connection line 5 is electrically connected to the first bonding electrode 2 through a plurality of first vias 40 formed in the first insulating layer 4; the second connection line 6 is located on the side of the second bonding electrode 3 close to the substrate 1, and a second insulating layer 7 is further provided between the second connection line 6 and the second bonding electrode 3 and the first connection line 5; the second connection line 6 and the second bonding electrode 3 and the first connection line 5 at least partially overlap in the orthographic projection on the substrate 1; the second connection line 6 is electrically connected to the second bonding electrode 3 and the first connection line 5 respectively through a plurality of second vias 70 formed in the second insulating layer 7.

The anode 10 is made of the same material and on the same layer as the first bonding electrode 2 and the third bonding electrode 9. The anode 10 is located in the display area 100. The pixel circuit 11 is located in the display area 100 and the bonding area 101. The pixel circuit 11 is located between the anode 10 and the substrate 1. The pixel circuit 11 is electrically connected to the anode 10. The display substrate further includes a third connection line 12, which is located between the third bonding electrode 9 and the substrate 1.

The pixel circuit 11 further includes a cathode ring 110 surrounding the display area 100. The cathode ring 110 is made of the same material and on the same layer as the anode 10. Figure 2b and Figure 2c shows that the third connection line 12 is electrically connected to the cathode ring 110.
[0119] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3b , which is a top view schematic diagram of the arrangement of the third bonding electrodes in the embodiments of the present disclosure; the number of the third bonding electrodes 9 is multiple, and the multiple third bonding electrodes 9 are arranged in an array. Along the arrangement direction Y of the display area 100 and the bonding area 101, the positions of any two adjacent rows of the third bonding electrodes 9 in the array of the third bonding electrodes 9 are staggered from each other. By setting like this, the bonding integration degree of the third bonding electrodes 9 can be increased, and at the same time, the short circuit between adjacent third bonding electrodes 9 can be improved or avoided.
[0120] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2b and Figure 2c, the display substrate further includes an electrostatic ring 13, which surrounds the periphery of the display area 100. A part of the electrostatic ring 13 is located in the bonding area 101. The part of the electrostatic ring 13 located in the bonding area 101 is on the side of the second bonding electrode 3 away from the display area 100. The electrostatic ring 13 includes a first electrode line 131 and a second electrode line 132. The first electrode line 131 is on the same layer and made of the same material as the second bonding electrode 3. The second electrode line 132 is on the side of the first electrode line 131 close to the substrate 1. The second electrode line 132 is electrically connected to the first electrode line 131 and the second electrode line 132 is grounded. The first electrode line 131 and the second electrode line 132 together form the electrostatic ring 13, which can reduce the grounding impedance of the electrostatic ring 13, so that the electrostatic ring can conduct static electricity well and protect the display substrate from static damage. In addition, the electrostatic ring can also prevent cracks from entering the interior of the display substrate when the wafer is cut to form the display substrate, protecting the display substrate. When the wafer is cut to form the display substrate, the cutting is performed from the side of the electrostatic ring 13 away from the display area 100.
[0121] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2b , along the arrangement direction Y of the display area 100 and the bonding area 101, the distance L1 between the third bonding electrode 9 and the display area 100 is L1≥2mm; this distance can ensure safety during the thermocompression of the anisotropic conductive adhesive and will not affect or damage the display area 100; the distance L2 between the boundary of the third bonding electrode 9 close to the display area 100 and the boundary of the first bonding electrode 2 away from the display area 100 is L2≥2mm; the distance L4 between the boundary of the second bonding electrode 3 close to the display area 100 and its boundary away from the display area 100 is L4≥100μm; the distance L5 between the boundary of the second bonding electrode 3 away from the display area 100 and the boundary of the electrostatic ring 13 away from the display area 100 is L5≥40μm.
[0122] The display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure makes the distance between the surface of the first bonding electrode facing away from the substrate and the substrate greater than the distance between the surface of the second bonding electrode facing away from the substrate and the substrate, so that there is a step height difference between the surface of the first bonding electrode facing away from the substrate and the surface of the second bonding electrode facing away from the substrate. When the first bonding electrode and the display driving circuit are bonded and connected by hot pressing an anisotropic conductive adhesive, even if the anisotropic conductive adhesive overflows to the hot pressing welding surface of the second bonding electrode and the bonding connection wire when being extruded, it will not cause a short circuit between adjacent second bonding electrodes or bonding connection wires, because when the second bonding electrode and the bonding connection wire are hot pressed and welded, the gold ball particles in the anisotropic conductive adhesive will not be flattened, so that the anisotropic conductive adhesive overflowing to the hot pressing welding surface of the second bonding electrode and the bonding connection wire will not conduct electricity. Therefore, the anisotropic conductive adhesive overflowing to the hot pressing welding surface of the second bonding electrode and the bonding connection wire will not cause a short circuit between adjacent second bonding electrodes or adjacent bonding connection wires, and thus the reserved spacing for tolerating glue overflow between the first bonding electrode and the second bonding electrode can be shortened or eliminated, thereby reducing the width of the bonding area along the direction away from the display area and improving the cutting efficiency of the wafer. In addition, due to the step height difference between the surface of the first bonding electrode facing away from the substrate and the surface of the second bonding electrode facing away from the substrate, when hot pressing and bonding the connection wire to bond it with the second bonding electrode, it will not cause secondary damage to the already bonded display driving circuit.

[0128] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4a and Figure 4b, the display panel further includes a peripheral circuit board (not shown in the figure), which is located outside the display substrate.

[0134] In this step, the preparation of each film layer in the display substrate adopts traditional processes, which will not be elaborated here. It should be noted that after the display substrate is prepared, a first opening 41 may be formed in the first insulating layer 4, or, after the display substrate is prepared, the first insulating layer 4 may not be provided with the first opening 41, and the first opening 41 will be formed in the first insulating layer 4 in step S103 subsequently.
[0135] Step S102: Sequentially prepare a third insulating layer 14, a pixel defining layer 15 and a packaging layer 16 on one side of the display substrate, and form a second opening 17 in the third insulating layer 14, the pixel defining layer 15 and the packaging layer 16 through a single etching process, and the first bonding electrode 2 and the third bonding electrode 3 in the display substrate are exposed at the second opening 17.
[0136] In this step, the second opening 17 in the third insulating layer 14, the pixel defining layer 15 and the packaging layer 16 is formed through a single dry etching process.
[0137] Step S103: Then form a third opening 18 in the third insulating layer 14, the pixel defining layer 15 and the packaging layer 16 and a first opening 41 in the first insulating layer of the display substrate through a single etching process, and the second bonding electrode 3 in the display substrate is exposed in the overlapping area of the positive projections of the third opening 18 and the first opening 41.

[0140] In this step, the gold ball particles in the anisotropic conductive adhesive 22 located on the bonding electrode pressing surface are flattened to conduct electricity, and the gold ball particles in the anisotropic conductive adhesive 22 located in the area outside the bonding electrode pressing surface are not flattened, so they will not conduct electricity either.
[0141] Step S105: The other end of the bonding connection wire 23, one end of which is welded to the bonding electrode of the peripheral circuit board, is connected to the second bonding electrode 3 by thermocompression welding.
[0142] In this step, the anisotropic conductive adhesive 22 may overflow onto the thermocompression welding surface between the second bonding electrode 3 and the bonding connection wire 23. However, during thermocompression welding, the gold ball particles in the anisotropic conductive adhesive 22 will not be flattened, so that the anisotropic conductive adhesive 22 will not conduct electricity, thus avoiding short circuits between adjacent bonding connection wires 23 and adjacent second bonding electrodes 3 caused by overflowing glue.
