[0041] The present application provides a display panel and a display device, which are described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not limited as the preferred order of the embodiments.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present application provides a display panel 100, which includes a display substrate 11, a black matrix layer 12, an auxiliary part 131, a filter structure layer 13 and a planar layer 14.
[0043] The display substrate 11 includes a photosensitive area SS, and the photosensitive area SS is configured to transmit external light.
[0044] The black matrix layer 12 is arranged on the light-emitting side of the display substrate 11. The black matrix layer 12 is provided with a first opening 12a, and the first opening 12a is arranged in the photosensitive area SS.
[0045] The auxiliary part 131 covers at least the sidewall of the first opening 12a. The auxiliary part 131 includes at least one auxiliary layer 3a, and each auxiliary layer 3a is provided with a hollow opening 3c arranged in the area of the first opening 12a. The planar layer 14 covers the side of the black matrix layer 12 and the auxiliary part 131 away from the display substrate 11, and the planar layer 14 fills the hollow opening 3c.
[0046] The contact interface between the auxiliary part 131 and the planar layer 14 is a total reflection interface.
[0047] It can be understood that the display panel 100 of the embodiment of the present application covers the sidewall of the first opening 12a with the auxiliary part 131, so that the contact interface between the auxiliary part 131 and the flat layer 14 forms a total reflection interface. At this time, the external light with a large angle is radiated to the total reflection interface and reflected to the first opening 12a by the total reflection interface, and will not be absorbed and / or refracted out of the first opening 12a by the black matrix layer 12, thereby improving the transmittance of the external light through the first opening 12a, and further improving the photosensitive capability of the photosensitive module.
[0048] Optionally, the photosensitive area SS is arranged in the display area. A plurality of first openings 12a are arranged in one photosensitive area SS.
[0049] Optionally, the display substrate 11 can be an electroluminescent display substrate, which can be an organic light-emitting display substrate, a quantum dot light-emitting display substrate, or an inorganic light-emitting display substrate.
[0050] Taking the organic light-emitting display substrate as an example, the display substrate 11 includes a driving circuit structure layer, an organic light-emitting layer, and an encapsulation layer. The organic sub-pixel layer is arranged on the driving circuit structure layer, and the encapsulation layer is encapsulated on the light-emitting side of the organic light-emitting layer. The driving circuit structure layer includes a pixel circuit, and the organic light-emitting layer includes a plurality of sub-pixels, such as red light sub-pixels, green light sub-pixels, and blue light sub-pixels.
[0051] Optionally, one sub-pixel is connected to one pixel circuit. The pixel circuit can be one of a 7T1C, 6T1C, 3T1C, and 8T2C pixel circuit, and the present application does not make any limitation as long as it can drive the sub-pixel to emit light.
[0052] The sub-pixel includes an anode, an organic light-emitting layer, and a cathode. In some embodiments, the sub-pixel further includes a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a hole transport layer. The hole injection layer and the hole transport layer are arranged between the organic light-emitting layer and the anode, and the electron injection layer and the hole transport layer are arranged between the organic light-emitting layer and the cathode. However, it is not limited thereto. For example, the sub-pixel can be a single-layer light-emitting layer architecture, or a double-layer light-emitting layer architecture.
[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments, the display substrate 11 can further include a touch structure layer configured to realize a touch function. The touch structure layer is formed on a layer of the encapsulation layer away from the light-emitting device layer. The touch structure layer includes a touch electrode and a touch line connected to the touch electrode. The touch electrode and the touch line are arranged away from the sub-pixel to avoid shielding the sub-pixel.
[0054] The black matrix layer 12 is provided with a plurality of pixel openings 2a. The pixel opening 2a of the black matrix layer 12 is opposite to the sub-pixel, so that the light emitted by the sub-pixel can pass through the pixel opening 2a to realize display. Secondly, the black matrix layer 12 covers the wiring to shield the wiring and improve the appearance and display contrast.
[0055] Optionally, in some embodiments, the auxiliary part 131 is formed in the light filtering structure layer 13. However, it is not limited thereto. For example, the auxiliary part 131 can be additionally prepared by a mask process, and the material of the auxiliary part 131 is different from the material of the light filtering structure layer 13.
[0056] The auxiliary part 131 is formed in the light filtering structure layer 13 to save the mask process. In addition, based on the light absorption of the material of the light filtering structure layer 13, the external light reflectivity of the display panel 100 can be reduced. Hereinafter, the auxiliary part 131 formed in the light filtering structure layer 13 is taken as an example for illustration.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the light filtering structure layer 13 further comprises a light filtering part 132. One light filtering part 132 is arranged in one pixel opening 2a. The light filtering part 132 is configured to filter the light emitted by the sub-pixel.
[0058] The light filtering part 132 is provided in each pixel opening 2a.
[0059] Optionally, in some embodiments, the plurality of light filtering parts 132 can be light filtering parts 132 of multiple colors. The color of the light filtering part 132 corresponds to and is consistent with the light emitting color of the sub-pixel.
[0060] Optionally, in some embodiments, the plurality of light filtering parts 132 comprises a first light filtering part 13r, a second light filtering part 13g and a third light filtering part 13b. The plurality of pixel openings 2a comprises a second opening 2a2, a third opening 2a3 and a fourth opening 2a4. The first light filtering part 13r is arranged in the second opening 2a2, the second light filtering part 13g is arranged in the third opening 2a3, and the third light filtering part 13b is arranged in the fourth opening 2a4.
[0061] The colors of the first light filtering part 13r, the second light filtering part 13g and the third light filtering part 13b are different to realize different color light transmission. That is, the types of the light filtering parts 132 are related to and consistent with the types of the light emitting colors of the actual sub-pixels. For example, three color lights correspond to three types of light filtering parts 132, and four color lights correspond to four types of light filtering parts 132.
[0062] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first filter part 13r is a red filter part to absorb green light and blue light and transmit red light. The second filter part 13g is a green filter part to absorb red light and blue light and transmit green light. The third filter part 13b is a blue filter part to absorb green light and red light and transmit blue light. However, it is not limited to this, for example, the first filter part 13r is a green filter part, the second filter part 13g is a blue filter part, and the color of the third filter part 13b is a red filter part; or, the first filter part 13r is a blue filter part, the second filter part 13g is a red filter part, and the color of the third filter part 13b is a green filter part.
[0063] The first filter part 13r corresponds to a red light sub-pixel, the second filter part 13g corresponds to a green light sub-pixel, and the third filter part 13b corresponds to a blue light sub-pixel.
[0064] It can be understood that the display panel 100 of the embodiment of the present application adopts the black matrix layer 12 in combination with the filter structure layer 13 to replace the polarizing sheet, which can reduce the thickness of the display panel 100.
[0065] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The auxiliary part 131 only includes an auxiliary layer 3a. The auxiliary layer 3a covers at least the sidewall of the first opening 12a. The hollow part 3c penetrates through the auxiliary layer 3a. The refractive index of the auxiliary layer 3a is less than the refractive index of the flat layer 14. The auxiliary layer 3a and the flat layer 14 contact to form the total reflection interface.
[0066] It can be understood that the auxiliary part 131 only includes an auxiliary layer 3a, so that the structure of the auxiliary part 131 is relatively simple, and it is also convenient to control the size of the hollow part 3c of the auxiliary part 131, thereby reducing the risk that the auxiliary layer 3a extends into the bottom opening end of the first opening 12a and reduces the effective opening area of the first opening 12a.
[0067] Optionally, the planar shape of the pixel opening 2a and the hollow part 3c can be circular, but is not limited to this, for example, it can be rectangular or rhombic, etc. Among them, the shape of the pixel opening 2a is the same as the shape of the hollow part 3c corresponding to it, for example, both are circular.
[0068] Optionally, the auxiliary layer 3a of the auxiliary part 131 can be formed in the same mask process as one of the first filter part 13r, the second filter part 13g, and the third filter part 13b. The material of the auxiliary part 131 can be the same as one of the first filter part 13r, the second filter part 13g, and the third filter part 13b.
[0069] Therefore, the auxiliary part 131 also has the function of absorbing external light. When the light with a small angle is radiated to the total reflection interface, part of the light will enter the auxiliary part 131 and be absorbed by the auxiliary part 131, so as to reduce the reflectivity.
[0070] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the width of the hollow opening 3c is equal to the width of the first opening 12a.
[0071] It can be understood that the width of the hollow opening 3c is equal to the width of the first opening 12a, that is, the size of the bottom opening end of the hollow opening 3c is the same as the size of the bottom opening end of the first opening 12a, so as to avoid the risk of reducing the effective opening area of the first opening 12a, thereby ensuring a larger light entering area.
[0072] The hollow opening 3c can be formed by patterning through photolithography.
[0073] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the auxiliary layer 3a also covers the side surface of the black matrix layer 12 away from the display substrate 11.
[0074] It can be understood that the auxiliary layer 3a also covers the surface of the black matrix layer 12, so that the black matrix layer 12 and the auxiliary part 131 form a light-absorbing stacked structure. Although the contact surface of the auxiliary part 131 and the flat layer 14 is a total reflection surface, under the small angle view of the display panel 100, the external light with a small angle will be absorbed by the auxiliary part 131 and the black matrix layer 12, thereby reducing the reflectivity of the small angle view.
[0075] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, a second opening 2a2 corresponds to a sub-pixel of the display substrate 11. The light filtering structure layer 13 includes a first light filtering part 13r, and the first light filtering part 13r is arranged in the second opening 2a2. The thickness of the first light filtering part 13r is greater than or equal to the depth of the second opening 2a2, and the first light filtering part 13r is integrally connected with the auxiliary layer 3a.
[0076] It can be understood that the first light filtering part 13r and the auxiliary layer 3a are made of the same material and are formed by the same mask. In the process, the two are formed in the black matrix layer 12 by coating. Based on the leveling property of the organic material, the thickness of the organic material needs to be greater than or equal to the depth of the second opening 2a2, so that the auxiliary layer 3a fully covers the sidewall of the first opening 12a, so that the area of the total reflection interface is maximized, thereby increasing the probability of reflecting external light into the first opening 12a, thereby increasing the light transmittance of the first opening 12a, and thereby improving the light sensing capability of the light sensing module.
[0077] Secondly, the first light filtering part 13r is integrally connected with the auxiliary layer 3a, so that the first light filtering part 13r and the auxiliary layer 3a have continuity, the area of the two covering the black matrix layer 12 is increased, and the reflectivity of the small-angle external light is reduced.
[0078] Optionally, the thickness of the first light filtering part 13r is greater than the depth of the first opening 12a of the black matrix layer 12, so as to improve the continuity of the connection between the first light filtering part 13r and the auxiliary layer 3a.
[0079] Optionally, the thickness of the black matrix layer 12 is between 1 micrometer and 3 micrometers, for example, 1 micrometer, 1.5 micrometers, 2 micrometers, 2.5 micrometers, or 3 micrometers.
[0080] The thickness of the light filtering part 132 can be between 2 micrometers and 4 micrometers. For example, the thickness of the first light filtering part 13r can be between 2 micrometers and 4 micrometers, for example, 2 micrometers, 2.5 micrometers, 3 micrometers, 3.5 micrometers, or 4 micrometers.
[0081] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the side wall slope angle α of the hollowed-out opening 3c of the auxiliary layer 3a in contact with the flat layer 14 is between 45 degrees and 65 degrees.
[0082] It can be understood that the side wall slope angle α of the hollowed-out opening 3c is the side wall slope angle of the hollowed-out opening 3c of the auxiliary part 131, and is also the inclination angle of the total reflection interface. If the inclination angle of the total reflection interface is too steep or too gentle, the reflected light will deviate from the central region of the first opening 12a, or even avoid the bottom opening end of the first opening 12a, thereby reducing the amount of light received by the photosensitive module. That is, if the side wall slope angle α of the hollowed-out opening 3c is too steep or too gentle, the effective reflection area of the total reflection interface will be reduced. The effective reflection area is the area of the total reflection interface that reflects external light and can be received by the photosensitive module.
[0083] Based on this, the present application limits the side wall slope angle α to be between 45 degrees and 65 degrees to improve the effective reflection area of the total reflection interface.
[0084] Optionally, wherein the side wall slope angle α is between 45 degrees and 65 degrees, the effective reflection area of the total reflection interface is greater than or equal to 80% of the total area of the total reflection interface, so as to ensure that most of the large-angle light is received by the photosensitive module.
[0085] Optionally, the side wall slope angle α is 45 degrees, 46 degrees, 47 degrees, 48 degrees, 49 degrees, 50 degrees, 51 degrees, 52 degrees, 53 degrees, 54 degrees, 55 degrees, 56 degrees, 57 degrees, 58 degrees, 59 degrees, 60 degrees, 61 degrees, 62 degrees, 63 degrees, 64 degrees, or 65 degrees, etc.
[0086] Figure 5 is along theFigure 2 Another cross-sectional diagram of the MN line, namely Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another structure of the display panel 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 for Figure 5 A magnified view of part p2. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The following will describe the parts that differ from the above embodiments in order to avoid redundant description.
[0087] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the auxiliary part 131 includes at least two auxiliary layers 3a, which are stacked and at least cover the sidewall of the first opening 12a. In any two adjacent auxiliary layers 3a, the cutout 3c of the auxiliary layer 3a away from the black matrix layer 12 is located in the area of the cutout 3c of the auxiliary layer 3a close to the black matrix layer 12.
[0088] The refractive index of the auxiliary layer 3a, which is furthest from the black matrix layer 12, is less than that of the planarization layer 14. The auxiliary layer 3a, which is furthest from the black matrix layer 12, and the planarization layer 14 come into contact to form the total internal reflection interface.
[0089] It is understood that the auxiliary part 131 is a film layer stacking structure, and the auxiliary part 131 includes at least two auxiliary layers 3a. The tilt angle of the total reflection interface can be adjusted by the subsequent auxiliary layers 3a to increase the effective reflection area of the total reflection interface, thereby improving the photosensitivity of the photosensitive module.
[0090] Secondly, the auxiliary part 131 has a stacked structure, which increases the thickness of the auxiliary part 131 and the range of light absorption of the auxiliary part 131, and can further reduce the reflectivity of the display panel 100 at small viewing angles.
[0091] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in any two adjacent auxiliary layers 3a, the sidewall slope angle of the cutout 3c opened in the auxiliary layer 3a farther from the black matrix layer 12 is greater than the sidewall slope angle of the cutout 3c opened in the auxiliary layer 3a closer to the black matrix layer 12.
[0092] It is understandable that, in the thickness direction of the display panel 100, the sidewall slope angle of the cutout 3c of the auxiliary layer 3a that is closer to the flat layer 14 is larger due to the height of the lower auxiliary layer 3a, so as to improve the effective reflective area of the total reflection interface.
[0093] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the sidewall slope angle α of the opening 3c of the auxiliary layer 3a that contacts the flat layer 14 is between 45 degrees and 65 degrees.
[0094] It can be understood that the side wall slope angle a of the hollow opening 3c opened by the auxiliary layer 3a in contact with the flat layer 14 is between 45 degrees and 65 degrees, so as to improve the effective reflection area of the total reflection interface.
[0095] Optionally, the side wall slope angle a of the hollow opening 3c opened by the auxiliary layer 3a in contact with the flat layer 14 is between 45 degrees and 65 degrees, and the effective reflection area of the total reflection interface is greater than or equal to 80% of the total area of the total reflection interface, so as to ensure that most of the large-angle light is received by the photosensitive module.
[0096] Optionally, the side wall slope angle a of the hollow opening 3c opened by the auxiliary layer 3a in contact with the flat layer 14 is 45 degrees, 46 degrees, 47 degrees, 48 degrees, 49 degrees, 50 degrees, 51 degrees, 52 degrees, 53 degrees, 54 degrees, 55 degrees, 56 degrees, 57 degrees, 58 degrees, 59 degrees, 60 degrees, 61 degrees, 62 degrees, 63 degrees, 64 degrees or 65 degrees, etc.
[0097] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, each auxiliary layer 3a extends to cover the side of the black matrix layer 12 away from the display substrate 11.
[0098] It can be understood that each auxiliary layer 3a also covers the surface of the black matrix layer 12, so that the black matrix layer 12 and the auxiliary part 131 form a multi-layer stacked structure for light absorption. Although the contact surface of the auxiliary part 131 and the flat layer 14 is a total reflection surface, under the small-angle viewing angle of the display panel 100, the small-angle external light will be absorbed by the auxiliary part 131 and the black matrix layer 12. The more auxiliary layers 3a included in the auxiliary part 131, the better the light absorption effect, thereby better reducing the reflectivity of the small-angle viewing angle.
[0099] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, a second opening 2a2 corresponds to a first sub-pixel of the display substrate 11, a third opening 2a3 corresponds to a second sub-pixel of the display substrate 11, and a fourth opening 2a4 corresponds to a third sub-pixel of the display substrate 11. The first filter part 13r is arranged in the second opening 2a2, the second filter part 13g is arranged in the third opening 2a3, and the third filter part 13b is arranged in the fourth opening 2a4.
[0100] The thickness of the first filter part 13r is greater than or equal to the depth of the second opening 2a2, the thickness of the second filter part 13g is greater than the depth of the third opening 2a3, and the thickness of the third filter part 13b is greater than or equal to the depth of the fourth opening 2a4.
[0101] The number of auxiliary layers 3a is less than or equal to three, and one auxiliary layer 3a corresponds to one of the first filter part 13r, the second filter part 13g and the third filter part 13b.
[0102] It can be understood that the material of the auxiliary layer 3a is the same as one of the first filter part 13r, the second filter part 13g and the third filter part 13b, and is formed by the same mask. In the process, the two are formed in the black matrix layer 12 by coating. Based on the leveling property of the organic material, the thickness of the organic material needs to be greater than or equal to the thickness of the black matrix layer 12, so that the auxiliary layer 3a fully covers the sidewall of the first opening 12a. Subsequently, the depth of the subsequent organic material is greater than the depth of the hollow part 3c of the previous auxiliary layer 3a, so that the subsequent auxiliary layer 3a can fully cover the sidewall of the hollow part 3c of the previous auxiliary layer 3a, so that the area of the total reflection interface is maximized, thereby improving the probability of reflecting external light into the first opening 12a, thereby improving the light transmittance of the first opening 12a, and thereby improving the light sensing capability of the light sensing module.
[0103] Secondly, one auxiliary layer 3a is connected to one of the first filter part 13r, the second filter part 13g and the third filter part 13b, so that the filter part 132 and the auxiliary layer 3a have connection continuity, thereby improving the area of the two covering the black matrix layer 12, and thereby reducing the reflectivity of small-angle external light.
[0104] Optionally, in some embodiments, in the black matrix layer 12, the auxiliary part 131 and the flat layer 14, the difference between the refractive indexes of any two adjacent film layers is the smallest between the auxiliary layer 3a and the flat layer 14.
[0105] It needs to be explained that, for example, the auxiliary part 131 has n (n is an integer greater than 1) auxiliary layers 3a, and the black matrix layer 12, the auxiliary part 131 and the flat layer 14 are stacked to form n+2 film layers, n+1 reflection interfaces, that is, n+1 refractive index differences. Among them, the refractive index difference between the nth auxiliary layer 3a and the flat layer 14 is the smallest.
[0106] It can be understood that the difference between the refractive indexes of the auxiliary layer 3a and the flat layer 14 is the smallest, so that more external light can enter the auxiliary layer 3a in contact with the flat layer 14, and then be absorbed by the auxiliary layer 3a. Among them, based on the fact that any one of the n+1 refractive index differences is smaller than the refractive index difference between the flat layer 14 and the black matrix layer 12, more external light is absorbed by the auxiliary part 131 and the black matrix layer 12, and part of the reflected light is eliminated by interference cancellation, so as to reduce the reflectivity.
[0107] Optionally, in some embodiments, in the black matrix layer 12 and the auxiliary part 131, the difference between the refractive indexes of any two adjacent film layers is less than or equal to 0.1 and greater than 0.
[0108] It can be understood that the smaller the refractive index difference between the two adjacent film layers is, the lower the interface reflectivity is, and the more external light will enter the film layer and be absorbed by the film layer. Therefore, the refractive index difference less than or equal to 0.1 and greater than 0 can better reduce the interface reflectivity, and then reduce the reflectivity.
[0109] It should be noted that, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The embodiments of the auxiliary part 131 include two auxiliary layers 3a as an example, and the following detailed description of Figure 5 and Figure 6
[0110] In Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the auxiliary part 131 includes a first auxiliary layer 3a1 and a second auxiliary layer 3a2, and the first auxiliary layer 3a1 covers at least the side wall of the first opening 12a.

The second hollow opening 3c2 is in the area of the first hollow opening 3c1.
[0111] The refractive index of the second auxiliary layer 3a2 is less than the refractive index of the flat layer 14, and the second auxiliary layer 3a2 and the flat layer 14 form a total reflection interface.
[0112] It can be understood that the auxiliary part 131 includes the first auxiliary layer 3a1 and the second auxiliary layer 3a2, so that the second auxiliary layer 3a2 is stacked on the first auxiliary layer 3a1 to increase the side wall slope angle α of the second hollow opening 3c2, and then increase the effective reflection area of the total reflection interface.
[0113] Optionally, the side wall slope angle α of the second hollow opening 3c2 is greater than the side wall slope angle β of the first hollow opening 3c1.
[0114] It can be understood that the first auxiliary layer 3a1 is steeply stacked on the second auxiliary layer 3a2, so that the slope angle α of the second hollow opening 3c2 can be increased, and then the effective reflection area of the total reflection interface is increased.
[0115] Optionally, the side wall slope angle α of the second hollow opening 3c2 is between 45 degrees and 65 degrees. At this time, the effective reflection area of the total reflection interface is greater than or equal to 80% of the total area of the total reflection interface, so as to ensure that most of the large-angle light is received by the photosensitive module.
[0116] Optionally, the first auxiliary layer 3a1 also covers the side surface of the black matrix layer 12 away from the display substrate 11, and the second auxiliary layer 3a2 also covers the side surface of the first auxiliary layer 3a1 away from the black matrix layer 12.
[0117] It can be understood that the first auxiliary layer 3a1 covers the black matrix layer 12, and the second auxiliary layer 3a2 covers the first auxiliary layer 3a1. The stack of the first auxiliary layer 3a1 and the second auxiliary layer 3a2 improves the light absorption performance of the auxiliary part 131, so as to better reduce the reflectivity at a small angle of view.
[0118] The thickness of the first filter part 13r is greater than or equal to the depth of the second opening 2a2, and the thickness of the second filter part 13g is greater than the thickness of the first filter part 13r. The first filter part 13r is integrally connected with the first auxiliary layer 3a1, and the second filter part 13g is integrally connected with the second auxiliary layer 3a2.
[0119] It can be understood that the first auxiliary layer 3a1 can be formed in the same mask process as one of the first filter part 13r, the second filter part 13g and the third filter part 13b. The material of the first auxiliary layer 3a1 can be the same as one of the first filter part 13r, the second filter part 13g and the third filter part 13b. The second auxiliary layer 3a2 can be formed in the same mask process as another one of the first filter part 13r, the second filter part 13g and the third filter part 13b. The material of the second auxiliary layer 3a2 can be the same as another one of the first filter part 13r, the second filter part 13g and the third filter part 13b.
[0120] For example, the material of the first auxiliary layer 3a1 is the same as that of the first filter part 13r, and the material of the second auxiliary layer 3a2 is the same as that of the second filter part 13g.
[0121] It can be understood that the thickness of the first filter part 13r is greater than or equal to the depth of the first opening 12a, so that the first auxiliary layer 3a1 fully covers the sidewall of the first opening 12a. The thickness of the second filter part 13g is greater than the depth of the first hollow part 3c1, so that the second auxiliary layer 3a2 fully covers the sidewall of the first hollow part 3c1, so as to maximize the area of the total reflection interface, thereby improving the probability that external light is reflected into the first opening 12a, thereby improving the light transmittance of the first opening 12a, and thereby improving the light sensing capability of the light sensing module.
