[0067] The display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a first encapsulation layer 70. The first encapsulation layer 70 is disposed on the side of the pixel definition layer 30 facing away from the substrate 10 and is located on the side of the light-emitting unit facing away from the substrate 10. The first encapsulation layer 70 is adjacent to the light-emitting unit. The first encapsulation layer 70 includes multiple encapsulation portions, each of which covers the corresponding isolation openings and the light-emitting unit. In other words, the orthographic projection of the isolation opening on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the corresponding encapsulation portion on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the corresponding encapsulation portion on the substrate 10.
[0068] The plurality of encapsulation sections may include a first encapsulation section 71, a second encapsulation section 72, and a third encapsulation section 73. The first encapsulation section 71 corresponds to the first light-emitting unit and is also formed by patterning. The second encapsulation section 72 corresponds to the second light-emitting unit and is also formed by patterning. The third encapsulation section 73 corresponds to the third light-emitting unit and is also formed by patterning. Optionally, the first encapsulation section 71, the second encapsulation section 72, and the third encapsulation section 73 are prepared in the same order as the first light-emitting unit, the second light-emitting unit, and the third light-emitting unit.
[0069] Please also refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be understood that the isolation openings and pixel openings corresponding to light-emitting units of different light-emitting colors can be prepared in different processes (for example, the first isolation opening 401 corresponding to the first light-emitting unit and the second isolation opening 402 corresponding to the second light-emitting unit are prepared in different processes). The first encapsulation layer 70 is generally used to encapsulate the light-emitting units after they are formed. After the first encapsulation layer 70 encapsulates the first prepared light-emitting unit (for example, the first light-emitting unit), the isolation openings corresponding to the subsequent light-emitting units (for example, the second isolation opening 402 and / or the third isolation opening 403) are prepared.
[0070] When preparing the isolation openings corresponding to the subsequent light-emitting units, it is necessary to use a glue layer (such as photoresist) to cover the prepared first packaging layer 70 (such as the first packaging part 71) to pattern the isolation structure 40 to prepare the isolation openings corresponding to the subsequent light-emitting units.
[0071] It should be noted that, in addition to covering the prepared first encapsulation layer 70 , the adhesive layer also needs to cover the position of the isolation structure 40 where no isolation opening is required.
[0072] For example, after forming the first packaging portion 71 and before forming the second isolation opening 402 , the first adhesive layer covers the packaging portion and the position of the isolation structure 40 where the isolation opening is not required.
[0073] For example, after forming the first packaging portion 71 and before forming the second isolation opening 402 and the third isolation opening 403, the first adhesive layer covers the first packaging portion 71 and the isolation structure 40 where no isolation opening is required.
[0074] For example, after forming the first encapsulation portion 71 and the second encapsulation portion 72, and before forming the third isolation opening 403, the second adhesive layer covers the first encapsulation portion 71 and the isolation structure 40 where no isolation opening is required. The first isolation opening 401 and the second isolation opening 402 can be formed simultaneously. Alternatively, the second isolation opening 402 can be formed after the first isolation opening 401.
[0075] The inventor discovered that Figure 3 The packaging portion includes an extension portion 701, which is located on the side of the isolation structure 40 facing away from the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the extension portion 701 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 40 on the substrate 10. After the extension portion 701 and the light-emitting layer 50 on the side of the isolation structure 40 facing away from the substrate 10 are etched, a gap 7001 with an opening is formed. In subsequent processes, water and oxygen can easily enter the packaging portion and the isolation structure 40 through the gap 7001, and then enter the light-emitting unit, causing damage to the light-emitting unit and affecting the light-emitting effect.
[0076] To solve the above technical problems, please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application defines a closed cavity between the extension portion 701 and the isolation structure 40 .
[0077] In this way, the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application uses the encapsulation part of the first encapsulation layer 70 to cover the corresponding light-emitting unit, and the extension part 701 of the encapsulation part and the isolation structure 40 define a closed cavity, which can help prevent water and oxygen from entering the cavity, thereby helping to prevent water and oxygen from entering between the encapsulation part and the isolation structure 40, and further helping to prevent water and oxygen from entering the light-emitting unit, thereby helping to improve the encapsulation effect, and further helping to improve the display effect.
[0078] Therefore, the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is beneficial to improving the display effect, thereby improving the performance of the display device.
[0079] In some embodiments, the plurality of encapsulation parts include a first encapsulation part 71, a second encapsulation part 72 and a third encapsulation part 73, the plurality of light-emitting units include a first light-emitting unit, a second light-emitting unit and a third light-emitting unit with different luminous colors, the first encapsulation part 71 covers the first light-emitting unit, the second encapsulation part 72 covers the second light-emitting unit, and the third encapsulation part 73 covers the third light-emitting unit; wherein a closed first cavity is defined between the extension part 701 of the first encapsulation part 71 and the isolation structure 40.
[0080] In this way, the first packaging portion 71 can improve the packaging effect of the first light-emitting unit, which is beneficial to prevent water and oxygen from entering the first cavity, and further helps prevent water and oxygen from entering the first light-emitting unit, thereby improving the luminous effect of the first light-emitting unit.
[0081] Optionally, a closed second cavity is defined between the extension portion 701 of the second encapsulation portion 72 and the isolation structure 40. Thus, the second encapsulation portion 72 can improve the encapsulation effect of the second light-emitting unit, thereby preventing water and oxygen from entering the second cavity, and further preventing water and oxygen from entering the third light-emitting unit, thereby improving the luminous effect of the second light-emitting unit.
[0082] Optionally, a closed third cavity is defined between the extension portion 701 of the third encapsulation portion 73 and the isolation structure 40. Thus, the third encapsulation portion 73 can improve the encapsulation effect of the third light-emitting unit, thereby preventing water and oxygen from entering the third cavity, thereby preventing water and oxygen from entering the third light-emitting unit, and thus improving the luminous effect of the third light-emitting unit.
[0083] Please continue reading Figure 7 and Figure 8 Optionally, the orthographic projection of the extension portion 701 of the first encapsulation portion 71 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the extension portion 701 of the second encapsulation portion 72 on the substrate 10. In this way, the extension portion 701 of the first encapsulation portion 71 can interact with the extension portion 701 of the second encapsulation portion 72, which helps prevent the extension portion 701 from cracking. The encapsulation portion can use the extension portion 701 to improve the encapsulation effect, thereby improving the luminous effect.
[0084] Please continue reading Figure 7 and Figure 8 Optionally, the orthographic projection of the extension portion 701 of the second encapsulation portion 72 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the extension portion 701 of the third encapsulation portion 73 on the substrate 10.

The encapsulation portion can use the extension portion 701 to improve the encapsulation effect, thereby improving the luminous effect.

The first edge 7101 and the second edge 7102 are both connected to the isolation structure 40, and the first cavity is located between the first edge 7101 and the second edge 7102.
[0086] In this way, the extension portion 701 of the first packaging portion 71 can be directly connected to the isolation structure 40 to form a closed first cavity, which can help prevent water and oxygen from entering between the first packaging portion 71 and the isolation structure 40, thereby helping to prevent water and oxygen from entering the first light-emitting unit, and helping to improve the light-emitting effect of the first light-emitting unit.

Therefore, the extension 701 of the second encapsulation portion 72 can help prevent water and oxygen from entering between the second encapsulation portion 72 and the isolation structure 40, thereby preventing water and oxygen from entering the second light-emitting unit, which helps improve the luminous effect of the second light-emitting unit.
