[0116] It can be understood that the first electrode 20 of the light emitting unit is located on the side of the pixel definition layer 30 facing the substrate 10, the light emitting unit includes a light emitting layer 50 and a second electrode 60 located on the side of the light emitting layer 50 away from the substrate 10, the light emitting layer 50 and the second electrode 60 of the light emitting unit are located in the isolation opening, and the light emitting layer 50 is located between the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 60.
[0117] Optionally, the first electrode 20 can be an anode, and the second electrode 60 can be a cathode.
[0118] It can be understood that the light emitting layer 50 of the first light emitting unit is a first light emitting layer 51, the light emitting layer 50 of the second light emitting unit is a second light emitting layer 52, and the light emitting layer 50 of the third light emitting unit is a third light emitting layer 53.
[0119] The display panel 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes a first encapsulation layer 70, the first encapsulation layer 70 is arranged on the side of the pixel definition layer 30 away from the substrate 10 and is located on the side of the light emitting unit away from the substrate 10, and the first encapsulation layer 70 is adjacent to the light emitting unit. The first encapsulation layer 70 includes a plurality of encapsulation portions, and the encapsulation portion covers the corresponding isolation opening and the light emitting unit. In other words, the orthographic projection of the isolation opening on the substrate 10 is located in 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 in the orthographic projection of the corresponding encapsulation portion on the substrate 10.

Optionally, the preparation sequence of the first encapsulation portion 71, the second encapsulation portion 72 and the third encapsulation portion 73 is consistent with the preparation sequence of the first light emitting unit, the second light emitting unit and the third light emitting unit.
[0121] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be understood that the isolation openings and the pixel openings corresponding to the 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), and the first encapsulation layer 70 is usually used to encapsulate the light emitting unit after the light emitting unit is formed. After encapsulating the first light emitting unit prepared first (for example, the first light emitting unit), the first encapsulation layer 70 prepares the isolation openings corresponding to the subsequent light emitting units (for example, the second isolation opening 402 and / or the third isolation opening 403).

[0123] It should be noted that in addition to covering the first encapsulation layer 70 prepared, the glue layer also needs to cover the position of the isolation structure 40 without needing to open the isolation opening.
[0124] For example, after preparation of the first encapsulation part 71, before preparation of the second isolation opening 402, the first glue layer covers the encapsulation part and the position of the isolation structure 40 without needing to open the isolation opening.
[0125] For example, after preparation of the first encapsulation part 71, before preparation of the second isolation opening 402 and the third isolation opening 403, the first glue layer covers the first encapsulation part 71 and the position of the isolation structure 40 without needing to open the isolation opening. The second isolation opening 402 and the third isolation opening 403 can be prepared simultaneously.
[0126] For example, after preparation of the first encapsulation part 71 and the second encapsulation part 72, before preparation of the third isolation opening 403, the second glue layer covers the first encapsulation part 71 and the position of the isolation structure 40 without needing to open the isolation opening. The first isolation opening 401 and the second isolation opening 402 can be prepared simultaneously.

The extension part 701 and the light emitting layer 50 on the side of the isolation structure 40 away from the substrate 10 are etched to form a gap 7001 with an opening, and in the subsequent process, water and oxygen are easy to enter the encapsulation part and the isolation structure 40 through the gap 7001, and then enter the light emitting unit, causing the light emitting unit to be damaged and affecting the light emitting effect.

In this way, the fifth edge 7301 of the extension part 701 of the third encapsulation part 73 can be indirectly connected with the side of the isolation structure 40 away from the substrate 10, and the sixth edge 7302 of the extension part 701 of the third encapsulation part 73 can be indirectly connected with the side of the isolation structure 40 away from the substrate 10, so that the extension part 701 of the third encapsulation part 73 and the side of the isolation structure 40 away from the substrate 10 form a closed third cavity.
[0156] Therefore, the extension part 701 of the third encapsulation part 73 can be beneficial to avoid water and oxygen from entering between the third encapsulation part 73 and the isolation structure 40, thereby avoiding water and oxygen from entering the third light emitting unit, and being beneficial to improving the light emitting effect of the third light emitting unit.
