[0061] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. The display panel 10 can be an organic light emitting diode display panel (OLED) or a quantum dot light emitting diode display panel (QLED).

[0064] Reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 7 ​As shown, the display panel 10 includes a substrate 11 and a plurality of light emitting devices 13 arranged on one side of the substrate 11.

[0065] Referring to Figure 3 , the substrate 11 includes a substrate 111, a driving circuit layer 112 arranged on one side of the substrate 111, and a first planar layer 19 arranged on one side of the driving circuit layer 112, the driving circuit layer 112 includes a pixel circuit for driving the light emitting device 13 to emit light, Figure 3 A transistor 18 in the pixel circuit is shown.

[0066] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the light emitting device 13 includes a first electrode 131, a light emitting functional layer 132, and a second electrode 133 arranged in sequence on the side of the first planar layer 19 away from the substrate 111. The first light emitting device 13a, the second light emitting device 13b, and the third light emitting device 13c each include the first electrode 131, the light emitting functional layer 132, and the second electrode 133 arranged in layers. The light emitting colors of the first light emitting device 13a, the second light emitting device 13b, and the third light emitting device 13c are different according to the specific material of the light emitting functional layer 132.

[0067] A via (not shown) is arranged in the first planar layer 19, and the first electrode 131 of the light emitting device 13 is electrically connected to the transistor 18 in the driving circuit layer 112 through the via. In addition, the driving circuit layer 112 further includes at least one insulating layer, which can include at least one of an inorganic layer and an organic layer, and the insulating layer is used to isolate the layer structures in the transistor 18.

[0068] In addition, the substrate 11 further includes a scan line for providing a scan signal Scan, a data line for providing a data signal Data, and the like.

[0069] Referring to Figure 4 , the transistor 18 in the pixel circuit includes a driving transistor T1 and a data transistor T2, the source of the data transistor T2 is connected to a data line for providing a data signal Data, the gate of the data transistor T2 is connected to a scan line for providing a scan signal Scan, the drain of the data transistor T2 is connected to the gate of the driving transistor T1, the two ends of a storage capacitor C1 are respectively connected to the gate and the source of the driving transistor T1, and the drain of the driving transistor T1 is connected to the light emitting device 13. Figure 4 is one embodiment of the pixel circuit, and the pixel circuit of the present application is not limited to Figure 4 the 2T1C pixel circuit shown, but can also be other pixel circuits, such as 7T1C, 8T1C pixel circuits, and the like.

[0070] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 12As shown, the display area AA of the display panel 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2 which are relatively bent. The first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 can be relatively bent, and the relative bending angle between the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 can be fixed or adjustable.

[0071] In some scenarios, the relative bending angle between the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 is fixed, that is, the display panel 10 is a fixed-curved screen.

[0072] The first display area AA1 can be a flat screen or a curved screen, and the second display area AA2 can be a flat screen or a curved screen. In the drawings of the embodiment of the present application, the flat screen is shown. The first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 have a certain bending angle, that is, the screen center lines of the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 are not parallel. For example, for a flat screen, the screen center line can refer to the perpendicular line at the screen center point, and for a curved screen, the screen center line can refer to the normal line at the screen center point. The first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 are connected in a smooth transition.

[0073] Correspondingly, the part of the substrate 11 corresponding to the first display area AA1 is the first area, and the part of the substrate 11 corresponding to the second display area AA2 is the second area. The plurality of light emitting devices 13 are respectively arranged in the first area and the second area.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the display panel 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a substrate 11, a plurality of light emitting devices 13 and a plurality of first electrodes 14. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the display panel 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes a first light shielding layer 20, a second flat layer 21 and a second light shielding layer 24. The first light shielding layer 20 is arranged on the side of each light emitting device 13 away from the substrate 11, and the first light shielding layer 20 is provided with a plurality of first light transmission openings 201. In the direction of the orthographic projection of the substrate 11, each first light transmission opening 201 is arranged corresponding to the first light emitting device 13a. The second flat layer 21 is arranged on the side of the first light shielding layer 20 away from the substrate 11, and the orthographic projection of the second flat layer 21 on the substrate 11 is located in the first area and the second area. The second light shielding layer 24 is arranged on the side of the second flat layer 21 away from the substrate 11, and the orthographic projection of the second light shielding layer 24 on the substrate 11 is located in the second area and outside the first area. The second light shielding layer 24 is provided with a plurality of second light transmission openings 240, and in the direction of the orthographic projection of the substrate 11, each second light transmission opening 240 is arranged corresponding to the first light emitting device 13a located in the second area.

[0075] That is, the light emitted by the light emitting device 13 in the entire display area AA is first emitted from the corresponding first light-transmitting opening 201. The first light-blocking layer 20 can avoid color mixing between adjacent pixels PX, and the first light-transmitting opening 201 can limit the emission angle of the light, as shown in FIG. 2B. This can reduce the viewing angle range of the display panel 10 and provide a privacy effect. Figure 9 The second light-blocking layer 24 and the second light-transmitting opening 240 further limit the emission angle of the light emitted by the light emitting device 13 in the second display area AA2, as shown in FIG. 2C. In this way, the overall viewing angle range of the relatively curved first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 is within a small range for the user, and is suitable for the observation position of the user, and the privacy effect is good. Figure 9

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2D, in the second area, the size of the second light-transmitting opening 240 is greater than or equal to the size of the corresponding first light-transmitting opening 201, and the width of the first light-blocking layer 20 between two adjacent first light-transmitting openings 201 is greater than or equal to the width of the second light-blocking layer 24 between two adjacent second light-transmitting openings 240. The purpose of such a design is that, in the direction away from the substrate 11, the light emitting device 13 emits light diffusively, the edge of the first light-transmitting opening 201 first blocks the light emitted by the light emitting device 13 at a large angle, and when the light further diffuses and reaches the second light-transmitting opening 240, the edge of the second light-transmitting opening 240 further blocks the light at a large angle. This can limit the emission angle of the light emitting device 13 in the second area, and will not significantly reduce the utilization rate of the light. Figure 8 In some optional embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2E, in the second area, the size M21 of the second light-transmitting opening 240 is greater than the size M11 of the corresponding first light-transmitting opening 201, and the width M12 of the first light-blocking layer 20 between two adjacent first light-transmitting openings 201 is greater than the width M22 of the second light-blocking layer 24 between two adjacent second light-transmitting openings 240.

[0077] Figure 8

[0078] ​​​It should be noted that in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 11, the shape of the first light-transmitting opening 201 can be rectangular, trapezoidal, or inverted trapezoidal. In the embodiments of the present application, the first light-transmitting opening 201 is illustrated as rectangular. Accordingly, the shape of the first light-blocking layer 20 between the first light-transmitting openings 201 is rectangular, inverted trapezoidal, or trapezoidal. In the direction perpendicular to the substrate 11, the size M21 of the first light-transmitting opening 201 at different positions is different, and the size of the first light-transmitting opening 201 refers to the smaller size in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 11 because the position with the smaller size determines the light angle. For example, for the trapezoidal first light-transmitting opening 201, the size refers to the size of the end close to the substrate 11 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 11.

[0079] Accordingly, the width M12 of the first light-blocking layer 20 between the two adjacent first light-transmitting openings 201 is at the same position as the first light-transmitting opening 201. For example, for the trapezoidal first light-transmitting opening 201, the width M12 of the first light-blocking layer 20 between the two adjacent first light-transmitting openings 201 refers to the size of the end close to the substrate 11 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 11.

[0080] The shape of the second light-transmitting opening 240 can be rectangular, trapezoidal, or inverted trapezoidal. The size M21 of the second light-transmitting opening 240 and the width M22 of the second light-blocking layer 24 between the two adjacent second light-transmitting openings 240 are defined as above.

[0081] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2B, the edge of the second light-transmitting opening 240 is outwardly extended from the edge of the first light-transmitting opening 201 by a distance H. Figure 8

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2B, the edge of the second light-transmitting opening 240 is outwardly extended from the edge of the first light-transmitting opening 201 by a distance H. Figure 8

[0083] In some optional embodiments, the edge of the second light-transmitting opening 240 is outwardly extended from the edge of the first light-transmitting opening 201 by a distance H greater than or equal to 2 microns and less than or equal to 10 microns.

[0084] In some optional embodiments, the edge of the second light-transmitting opening 240 is outwardly extended from the edge of the first light-transmitting opening 201 by a distance H greater than or equal to 2 microns and less than or equal to 8 microns.

[0085] ​​In some optional embodiments, the overhanging distance H of the edge of the second light-transmitting opening 240 relative to the edge of the first light-transmitting opening 201 is greater than or equal to 4 microns and less than or equal to 8 microns.

[0086] In some optional embodiments, the overhanging distance H of the edge of the second light-transmitting opening 240 relative to the edge of the first light-transmitting opening 201 is 2 microns, 2.5 microns, 3 microns, 3.5 microns, 4 microns, 4.5 microns, 5 microns, 5.5 microns, 6 microns, 6.5 microns, 7 microns, 7.5 microns, 8 microns, 8.5 microns, 9 microns, 9.5 microns, 10 microns, or the like.

[0087] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2A, the thickness D of the second planar layer 21 is 10 microns to 30 microns.
