Description

Display device, display panel and manufacturing method thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display device, a display panel and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Organic electroluminescent display (OLED) panels have gradually become the mainstream in the display field due to their excellent performance such as low power consumption, high color saturation, wide viewing angle, thin thickness, and flexibility. They can be widely used in terminal products such as smartphones, tablets, and TVs.

[0003] With the advancement of OLED display technology and the continuous optimization of product performance, reducing overall screen power consumption is currently a key development direction for OLEDs. Traditional OLED screens often feature a cathode layer that spans the entire surface and is connected to the VSS signal terminal, meaning there's only a single VSS voltage within the screen. However, due to the characteristics of OLED pixel devices, the current flowing through the RGB components at the same brightness varies. Because the current flowing through the B (blue) pixel is greater than that flowing through the R / G (red / green) pixels, the saturation margin voltage of the R / G pixels is higher than that of the B pixels, even if the VDD and VSS voltages across the RGB pixels remain unchanged. This results in wasted energy.

[0082] In related art, the cathode layer of a display panel is designed to be uniform across the entire surface, with its voltage being the same as the voltage at the VSS signal terminal. However, due to the characteristics of OLED pixel devices, the current flowing through the RGB devices at the same brightness is not uniform. The current flowing through the blue pixel is greater than that flowing through the red and green pixels. Therefore, when the voltage across the pixel VDD and VSS remains unchanged, the power consumption of the red and green pixels is greater than that of the blue pixel. This results in energy waste.

[0095] The following will describe in detail the various embodiments of the present application that are consistent with the above-mentioned creative concepts.

[0096] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 , the present application provides a display panel comprising a display area 10 and a non-display area 20 . The non-display area 20 is located at the edge of the display area 10 and surrounds at least a portion of the display area 10 .

The first color is one of green, red or blue, the second color is another of green, red or blue, and the third color is the last of green, red or blue. For example, the first color is green, the second color is blue, and the third color is red, or the first color is blue, the second color is red, and the third color is green, etc. Of course, the first color, the second color and the third color can also be colors other than red, green and blue, as long as the combination of the first color, the second color and the third color can meet the light output requirements of the display panel.

[0099] As shown in FIG5 , the display panel includes a substrate 100, which may be a rigid substrate. The rigid substrate may be a glass substrate or a PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) substrate. Alternatively, the substrate 100 may be a flexible substrate.

A pixel defining layer 700 is provided on the side of the second flat layer 600 away from the second source / drain metal layer 500. The pixel defining layer 700 includes a plurality of pixel openings, and the pixel defining layer 700 defines a pixel area 11 through the pixel openings. That is, the area corresponding to the pixel openings in the pixel defining layer 700 is the pixel area 11, and the area corresponding to the non-pixel openings is the non-pixel area 12. An anode layer 800, a cathode layer 900, and a light-emitting structure layer 810 located between the anode layer 800 and the cathode layer 900 are provided on the side of the second flat layer 600 away from the second source / drain metal layer 500. Among them, the light-emitting structure layer 810 may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light-emitting unit, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc. (not shown) from the anode to the cathode. The light-emitting unit may be a red light-emitting unit, a green light-emitting unit, or a blue light-emitting unit, etc. The light emitting structure layer 810 is disposed at the pixel opening position in the pixel defining layer 700 , that is, the light emitting structure layer 810 is disposed in the pixel region 11 .

[0101] As shown in Figures 5, 6, 8, and 9, in an optional embodiment, an anode layer 800 is disposed on a side of the second planar layer 600 away from the second source / drain metal layer 500. A light-emitting structure layer 810 is disposed on a side of the anode layer 800 away from the second planar layer 600. A cathode layer 900 is disposed on a side of the light-emitting structure layer 810 away from the anode layer 800. Cathode layer 900 includes a first cathode region 910 and a second cathode region 920. The first cathode region 910 is connected to a first VSS signal terminal. Specifically, the first cathode region 910 can be connected to the first VSS signal terminal via a first VSS signal line 22. The first VSS signal terminal has a first voltage U1, and the first cathode region 910 covers the first pixel region 111. The second cathode region 920 is connected to a second VSS signal terminal. Specifically, the second cathode region 920 can be connected to the second VSS signal terminal via a second VSS signal line 23. The second VSS signal terminal has a second voltage U2, and the second cathode region 920 covers the second pixel region 112 and the third pixel region 113. That is, the first cathode region 910 provides a first VSS signal terminal voltage U1 to the cathode of the light emitting structure layer 810 in the first pixel region 111, and the second cathode region 920 provides a second VSS signal terminal voltage U2 to the cathode of the light emitting structure layer 810 in the second pixel region 112 and the third pixel region 113. The first VSS signal terminal voltage U1 and the second VSS signal terminal voltage U2 can be independently controlled.

[0102] Take, for example, a 7T1C pixel circuit, with the first color being blue, the second color being red, and the third color being green. In related art, the voltage ΔU between the VDD signal terminal and the VSS signal terminal is fixed. When the first pixel region 111, the second pixel region 112, and the third pixel region 113 reach the same brightness, the saturation region margin voltage of the first pixel region 111 is approximately 10%-15% of ΔU, the saturation region margin voltage of the second pixel region 112 is approximately 17%-23% of ΔU, and the saturation region margin voltage of the third pixel region 113 is approximately 25%-30% of ΔU. The present application allows for independent regulation of the voltage U1 of the first VSS signal terminal and the voltage U2 of the second VSS signal terminal. By regulating the voltage U2 of the second VSS signal terminal, the saturation region margin voltages of the second pixel region 112 and the third pixel region 113 can be reduced. The pixel circuit operates in the saturation region, so the operating current of the second pixel region 112 and the third pixel region 113 remains unchanged. According to the formula power consumption (P) = voltage (U) * current (I), reducing the saturation region margin voltage of the second pixel region 112 and the third pixel region 113 will reduce the power consumption of the display panel.

[0103] Optionally, the display panel further includes an auxiliary VSS layer 310. The auxiliary VSS layer 310 can be provided on the same layer as any layer between the anode layer 800 and the driving structure layer 200. For example, the auxiliary VSS layer 310 can be provided on the same layer as the first source / drain metal layer 300, the auxiliary VSS layer 310 can also be provided on the same layer as the second source / drain metal layer 500, or the auxiliary VSS layer 310 can also be provided on the same layer as the second source / drain metal layer 500, etc. The auxiliary VSS layer 310 can be provided between any two adjacent layers between the anode layer 800 and the driving structure layer 200. For example, the auxiliary VSS layer 310 can be provided between the first source / drain metal layer 300 and the first planarizing layer 400, the auxiliary VSS layer 310 can also be provided between the second source / drain metal layer 500 and the first planarizing layer 400, or the auxiliary VSS layer 310 can also be provided between the second source / drain metal layer 500 and the second planarizing layer 600, etc.

Optionally, the non-display area 20 includes a plurality of first vias 21, and the first cathode area 910 is connected to the first auxiliary VSS signal line 311 through the first vias 21. Specifically, the first vias 21 penetrate the pixel defining layer 700, so that the first cathode area 910 is connected to the conductive structure 820 located in the anode layer 800. The conductive structure 820 is connected to the first auxiliary VSS signal line 311 through the third via 610, thereby achieving the connection between the first cathode area 910 and the first auxiliary VSS signal line 311. Optionally, the non-pixel region 12 in the display region 10 includes a plurality of second vias 121, through which the first cathode region 910 is connected to the first auxiliary VSS signal line 311.

Optionally, the non-pixel region 12 in the display region 10 includes a plurality of second vias 121, through which the second cathode region 920 is connected to the second auxiliary VSS signal line 312.

The second auxiliary VSS signal line 312 can effectively reduce the load on the second cathode region 920.

[0106] As shown in Figures 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12, in an optional embodiment, the anode layer 800 is disposed on a side of the second planar layer 600 away from the second source / drain metal layer 500. The light-emitting structure layer 810 is disposed on a side of the anode layer 800 away from the second planar layer 600. The cathode layer 900 is disposed on a side of the light-emitting structure layer 810 away from the anode layer 800. The cathode layer 900 includes a first cathode region 910, a second cathode region 920, and a third cathode region 930. The first cathode region 910 is connected to a first VSS signal terminal. Specifically, the first cathode region 910 can be connected to the first VSS signal terminal via a first VSS signal line 22. The first VSS signal terminal has a first voltage U1, and the first cathode region 910 covers the first pixel region 111. The second cathode region 920 is connected to a second VSS signal terminal. Specifically, the second cathode region 920 can be connected to the second VSS signal terminal via a second VSS signal line 23. The second VSS signal terminal has a second voltage U2, and the second cathode region 920 covers the second pixel region 112. The third cathode region 930 is connected to the third VSS signal terminal. Specifically, the third cathode region 930 can be connected to the third VSS signal terminal via the third VSS signal line 24. The third VSS signal terminal has a third voltage U3, and the third cathode region 930 covers the third pixel region 113. That is, the first cathode region 910 provides the voltage U1 of the first VSS signal terminal to the cathode of the light-emitting structure layer 810 of the first pixel region 111, and the second cathode region 920 provides the voltage U2 of the second VSS signal terminal to the cathode of the light-emitting structure layer 810 of the second pixel region 112. The third cathode region 930 provides the voltage U3 of the third VSS signal terminal to the cathode of the light-emitting structure layer 810 of the third pixel region 113. The voltage U1 of the first VSS signal terminal, the voltage U2 of the second VSS signal terminal, and the voltage U3 of the third VSS signal terminal can be independently controlled.

[0107] Take, for example, a 7T1C pixel circuit, with the first color being blue, the second color being red, and the third color being green. In related art, the voltage across the VDD signal terminal and the VSS signal terminal, ΔU, is fixed. When the first pixel region 111, the second pixel region 112, and the third pixel region 113 reach the same brightness, the saturation region margin voltage of the first pixel region 111 is approximately 10%-15% of ΔU, the saturation region margin voltage of the second pixel region 112 is approximately 17%-23% of ΔU, and the saturation region margin voltage of the third pixel region 113 is approximately 25%-30% of ΔU. The present application can independently adjust the voltage U1 of the first VSS signal terminal, the voltage U2 of the second VSS signal terminal, and the voltage U3 of the third VSS signal terminal. By regulating the voltage U2 at the second VSS signal terminal and the voltage U3 at the third VSS signal terminal, the saturation region margin voltages of the second pixel region 112 and the third pixel region 113 can be reduced to the same value as the saturation region margin voltage of the first pixel region 111, which is approximately 10%-15% of ΔU. Furthermore, since the pixel circuit operates in the saturation region, the operating currents of the second pixel region 112 and the third pixel region 113 remain unchanged. As can be seen from the equation power consumption (P) = voltage (U) * current (I), reducing the saturation region margin voltages of the second pixel region 112 and the third pixel region 113 reduces the power consumption of the display panel, ultimately reducing power consumption by 5%-7%.
