Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to a display panel and display device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED) chips have been widely used in the display technology field due to their advantages such as high brightness, high efficiency, and long lifespan. However, the presence of ambient light and the high reflectivity of Micro LED chips directly affect the contrast of the image, resulting in a reduced viewing experience for users.

[0003] Currently, to reduce the reflectivity of Micro LED chips, the industry uses black materials to shield them. Black materials have strong light absorption capabilities, effectively absorbing light of various wavelengths, thereby reducing the reflectivity of the Micro LED chip. However, some technical issues regarding the thickness control and curing effect of the black material still need to be resolved.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0026] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as “on,” “adjacent to,” or “connected to” other elements or layers, it may be directly on, adjacent to, or electrically connected to other elements or layers, or there may be intervening elements or layers.

[0027] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, etc., may be used to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, doping types, and / or portions, these elements, components, regions, layers, doping types, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, doping type, or portion from another element, component, region, layer, doping type, or portion. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of this invention, the first element, component, region, layer, doping type, or portion discussed below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or portion.

[0028] Spatial relation terms such as “…above” can be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relation terms also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, the element or feature described as “…above” will be oriented “below” other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “…above” can include both above and below orientations. Furthermore, the device may also include other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0029] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising / including” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Meanwhile, in this specification, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0030] Embodiments of the invention are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views that serve as schematic diagrams of ideal embodiments (and intermediate structures), thus allowing for the anticipation of variations in the illustrated shapes due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, embodiments of the invention should not be limited to the specific shapes of the regions shown herein, but rather include shape deviations due to, for example, manufacturing techniques. Consequently, the regions shown in the figures are substantially schematic, and their shapes do not represent the actual shapes of regions of the device, nor do they limit the scope of the invention.

[0031] In view of the shortcomings of related technologies, this application provides a display panel and display device that can reduce the reflectivity of the first light-emitting unit, solve the problem of difficulty in photosensitive patterning caused by the excessive thickness of the first light-shielding structure, and improve the production yield and display effect of the display panel. Details will be described in subsequent embodiments.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a display panel. Specifically, the display panel may include a first sub-pixel, a resin filling layer 20, and a first light-shielding structure 30a.

[0033] It should be noted that the first sub-pixel may include a red sub-pixel R, a green sub-pixel G, and / or a blue sub-pixel B. The number of first sub-pixels can be one or more, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the first sub-pixel may include a red sub-pixel R, a green sub-pixel G, and a blue sub-pixel B.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the first sub-pixel may specifically include a first driving unit 11a and a first light-emitting unit 12a. The first light-emitting unit 12a is electrically connected to the first driving unit 11a via at least a first contact electrode 13a and a second contact electrode 14a that are spaced apart. A resin filling layer 20 is located between the first light-emitting unit 12a and the corresponding first driving unit 11a, and at least fills the gap between the first contact electrode 13a and the second contact electrode 14a. A first light-shielding structure 30a surrounds the sidewall of the first light-emitting unit 12a.

[0035] This embodiment of the application uses a first light-shielding structure 30a to block the sidewall of the first light-emitting unit 12a, reducing the reflectivity of the first light-emitting unit 12a and thus improving the contrast and image clarity of the display panel. The first light-shielding structure 30a enables the display panel to maintain a consistent display effect under various lighting conditions, effectively improving the user's visual experience.

[0036] In this embodiment, a resin filling layer 20 is provided at least at the gap between the first contact electrode 13a and the second contact electrode 14a. This eliminates the need for a light-shielding structure to fill the gap between the first contact electrode 13a and the second contact electrode 14a, avoiding large discontinuities in the light-shielding structure, facilitating subsequent processes, and also helps control the thickness of the first light-shielding structure 30a, preventing problems with photosensitive patterning due to excessive thickness. Furthermore, providing the resin filling layer 20 at the gap between the first contact electrode 13a and the second contact electrode 14a also prevents the light-shielding structure from not fully curing at the bottom of the first light-emitting unit 12a, which could lead to uneven gaps at the bottom of the first light-emitting unit 12a, improving the production yield and reliability of the display panel. In addition, utilizing the heat dissipation characteristics of the resin filling layer 20 can reduce the peak wavelength shift (also known as peak shift) of the first light-emitting unit 12a caused by temperature increases, improving the stability and consistency of the display effect.

[0037] Furthermore, the preparation process of the embodiments in this application is simple and easy to implement.

[0038] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 1 The resin filling layer 20 can also fill the gap between the first light-shielding structure 30a and the first light-emitting unit 12a.

[0039] As an example, after the first sub-pixel is bonded to the substrate, a resin-filled material layer can be formed on the surface of the substrate; and the resin-filled material layer can be patterned to obtain the resin-filled layer 20.

[0040] This application does not impose a specific limitation on the thickness of the resin filler layer 20. The thickness of the resin filler layer 20 can be adaptively optimized and adjusted according to the actual design and manufacturing process conditions. In some embodiments, the thickness of the resin filler layer 20 can range from 2 μm to 5 μm. For example, the thickness of the resin filler layer 20 can be 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, or 5 μm, etc.

[0041] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the resin filling layer 20 may be higher than the lower surface of the first light-emitting unit 12a. That is, the resin filling layer 20 may also surround the sidewalls of the first light-emitting unit 12a at a certain height.

[0042] The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the constituent materials of the resin filler layer 20. The constituent materials of the resin filler layer 20 can be adaptively selected according to the preparation process conditions in the actual embodiments.

[0043] In some embodiments, the constituent material of the resin filler layer 20 may include thermally conductive resin, but is not limited thereto.

[0044] Peak shift refers to the phenomenon that the wavelength or color of light emitted by a light-emitting unit (such as a Micro LED chip) changes during operation. In the above embodiment, a thermally conductive resin is used to form the resin filling layer 20. Since thermally conductive resin is a resin material with high thermal conductivity, heat has a high conduction efficiency in thermally conductive resin. Therefore, using thermally conductive resin to form the resin filling layer 20 can more effectively improve the transfer and dispersion of heat inside the resin filling layer 20, and more significantly reduce the temperature of the first light-emitting unit 12a, thereby further reducing or eliminating the peak shift phenomenon of the first light-emitting unit 12a, improving the display effect of the display panel, and enabling the display panel to maintain stable color and performance even under high load operation.

[0045] For example, the thermally conductive resin involved in the above embodiments can be a composite material made of resin matrix and thermally conductive filler (e.g., metal powder, ceramic powder, etc.).

[0046] As an example, the thermal conductivity of the aforementioned thermally conductive resin can specifically range from 0.1 W / (m·K) to 5 W / (m·K). Exemplarily, the resin-filled layer 20 can be prepared using thermally conductive resins with thermal conductivity of 0.1 W / (m·K), 0.5 W / (m·K), 0.1 W / (m·K), 2.5 W / (m·K), or 5 W / (m·K), etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, the material system of the thermally conductive resin may specifically include an organic material system. The organic material system may specifically include an epoxy system, an organosilicon system, and / or an acrylic system.

[0048] Among them, epoxy system refers to: molecules containing two or more epoxy groups and various organic functional groups; organosilicon system refers to: organic groups directly connected to silicon atoms, or polysiloxanes composed of silicon-oxygen bonds (-Si-O-Si-) as the main chain skeleton; acrylic system refers to: infusible acrylic polymers with acrylic monomers (such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, etc.) as basic components, which are cross-linked into a network structure.

[0049] In other embodiments, the thermally conductive resin material system may further include a composite material system. The composite material system may specifically include an organic material system containing thermally conductive particles and thermally conductive polymers.

[0050] As an example, the thermally conductive particles can be composed of carbon-based materials, oxide ceramic particles, nitride ceramic particles, materials with a perovskite structure (also known as perovskite particles), or any combination thereof. Carbon-based materials may include, but are not limited to, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphite, etc. The constituent materials of oxide ceramic particles may include, but are not limited to, alumina (Al₂O₃), zinc oxide (ZnO), beryllium oxide (BeO), and / or silicon dioxide (SiO₂), etc. The constituent materials of nitride ceramic particles may include, but are not limited to, aluminum nitride (AlN), boron nitride (BN), and / or silicon nitride (Si₃N₄).

[0051] As an example, thermally conductive polymers may include polyvinylidene fluoride derivatives and / or azobenzene derivatives.

[0052] In some embodiments, the resin filler layer 20 may contain a photoinitiator and / or a crosslinking agent.

[0053] As an example, the photoinitiator may include, but is not limited to, free radical photoinitiators or cationic photoinitiators. Free radical photoinitiators may be, for example, benzoyl, alkyl phenyl ketones, benzophenones, etc., but are not limited to these. Free radical photoinitiators may contain carbonyl and phenyl structures, which can decompose to generate free radicals after absorbing light energy. Free radical photoinitiators include benzoyl, alkyl phenyl ketones, benzophenones, etc., characterized by compounds containing carbonyl and phenyl groups. Cationic photoinitiators may be, for example, diazonium salts, diaryliodomonium salts, triarylthionium salts, alkylthionium salts, iron aromatic salts, sulfonyloxyketones, triarylsiloxanes, etc., but are not limited to these.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first light-shielding structure 30a may be formed after the first sub-pixel transfer, but it is not limited to this.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first light-shielding structure 30a not only surrounds the sidewall of the first light-emitting unit 12a, but also surrounds a portion of the sidewall and top surface of the first driving unit 11a.

[0056] The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the thickness of the first light-shielding structure 30a. The thickness of the first light-shielding structure 30a can be adaptively optimized and adjusted according to the actual design and manufacturing process conditions.

[0057] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first light-shielding structure 30a is not less than 2 μm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the first light-shielding structure 30a can be 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, or 5 μm, etc. Controlling the thickness to not less than 2 μm ensures that the optical density value (OD value) of the first light-shielding structure 30a is greater than 3, meaning that the first light-shielding structure 30a can effectively block most of the light. Therefore, setting the thickness of the first light-shielding structure 30a to not less than 2 μm ensures that the first light-shielding structure 30a can provide sufficient optical density to achieve the light-shielding effect.

[0058] The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the constituent materials of the first light-shielding structure 30a. The constituent materials of the first light-shielding structure 30a can be adaptively selected according to the preparation process conditions in the actual embodiments.

[0059] In some embodiments, the constituent material of the first light-shielding structure 30a may specifically include organic resin, but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the constituent material of the first light-shielding structure 30a may also include hydrophilic materials.

[0060] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the display panel may also have a transparent dielectric layer 40 formed between two adjacent first sub-pixels. The transparent dielectric layer 40 can be used to define and fill the transparent area between adjacent sub-pixels.

[0061] This application does not impose a specific limitation on the thickness of the transparent dielectric layer 40. The thickness of the transparent dielectric layer 40 can be adaptively optimized and adjusted according to the actual design and fabrication process conditions. In some embodiments, the thickness of the transparent dielectric layer 40 can range from 12 μm to 16 μm. For example, the thickness of the transparent dielectric layer 40 can be 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, or 16 μm, etc.

[0062] This application does not specifically limit the material of the transparent dielectric layer 40. The constituent materials of the transparent dielectric layer 40 can be adaptively selected according to the preparation process conditions of the actual embodiment.

[0063] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 2 The transparent dielectric layer 40 can be integrally formed with the resin filler layer 20. That is, the constituent material of the resin filler layer 20 is used as a filler layer for the transparent area.

[0064] In some embodiments, the resin filling layer 20 may have a plurality of spaced-apart first protrusions on the side surface near the first light-emitting unit 12a. The first light-shielding structure 30a is also disposed between the resin filling layer 20 and the first light-emitting unit 12a, and fills the gaps between the first protrusions.

[0065] As an example, the first protrusion formed at the bottom of the red sub-pixel R (such as...) Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The arrangement density of the first protrusion 201a shown can be greater than that of the first protrusion formed at the bottom of the blue photonics B or the green photonics G (as shown in the figure). Figure 3 The arrangement density of the first protrusion 201b shown.

[0066] The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the constituent material of the first protrusion. In actual embodiments, the surface energy of the first protrusion can be controlled by adjusting the constituent material, so that it has specific surface properties to meet the needs of different application scenarios, such as making the surface have functions such as hydrophilic, hydrophobic, oleophilic or oleophobic.

[0067] In some embodiments, the material constituting the first light-shielding structure 30a includes an organic resin, which has a relatively low surface energy; based on this, a low surface energy material can be coated on the surface of the first protrusion, thereby forming the first protrusion as a low surface energy structure.

[0068] In the above embodiments, the constituent material of the first protrusion may include, but is not limited to, metallic and / or inorganic materials, and the surface is coated with a polymer of a low surface energy material. The polymer may be, for example, a fluorinated organic compound, but is not limited thereto.

[0069] In other embodiments, the first light-shielding structure 30a is made of a hydrophilic material, which has a relatively high surface energy; based on this, the first protrusion may be made of an inorganic material.

[0070] In the above embodiments, the material constituting the first protrusion may include, but is not limited to, inorganic materials. The first protrusion may be a single-layer structure or a composite multilayer structure. Inorganic materials may, for example, be silicon nitride (SiN). x ) and / or silicon dioxide (SiO2) x )etc.

[0071] This application does not specifically limit the size range of the first protrusion. The size of the first protrusion can be adaptively optimized and adjusted according to the actual design and manufacturing process conditions. In some embodiments, the size of the first protrusion is less than 20 nm. For example, the size of the first protrusion can be 10 nm, 12 nm, 14 nm, 16 nm, or 18 nm, etc.

[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7Furthermore, a plurality of spaced second protrusions 121a can be provided at the bottom of the first light-emitting unit 12a. For example, the spaces between the second protrusions 121a can be filled by a first light-shielding structure 30a. The second protrusions 121a can complement the first protrusions to avoid defects during the bonding process of the first light-emitting unit 12a.

[0073] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 6 and Figure 7 Furthermore, multiple spaced third protrusions 122a can be provided on the top of the first light-emitting unit 12a. In this first sub-pixel, the arrangement density of the third protrusions 122a can be set to be less than the arrangement density of the second protrusions 121a.

[0074] The following combination Figures 8 to 11 Taking the first sub-pixel as the red light sub-pixel R as an example, some embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The display panel may also include a second sub-pixel and a second light-shielding structure 30b.

[0076] It should be noted that the second sub-pixel and the first sub-pixel are different sub-pixels; in the embodiment shown in the figure, the second sub-pixel can be a green light sub-pixel G and / or a blue light sub-pixel B.

[0077] The second sub-pixel may specifically include a second driving unit 11b and a second light-emitting unit 12b. The second light-emitting unit 12b is electrically connected to the second driving unit 11b at least via a third contact electrode 13b and a fourth contact electrode 14b that are spaced apart. The second light-shielding structure 30b surrounds the sidewall of the second sub-pixel and at least fills the gap between the third contact electrode 13b and the fourth contact electrode 14b.

[0078] In the manufacturing process of the red sub-pixel R, ultraviolet (UV) curing is used to cure the light-shielding structure at the bottom of the first light-emitting unit 12a. Because the red sub-pixel R has low light transmittance (e.g., ultraviolet light), UV light is significantly attenuated, causing the light-shielding structure to fail to cure completely at the bottom of the first light-emitting unit 12a. Therefore, product defects or performance degradation primarily occur in the red sub-pixel R.

[0079] In the display panel provided in the above embodiment, at the interval between the first contact electrode 13a and the second contact electrode 14a of the red photon sub-pixel R, the problem of uneven gaps caused by the light-shielding structure not being fully cured at the bottom of the first light-emitting unit 12a can be avoided, thereby improving the production yield and reliability of the display panel.

[0080] In addition, the red sub-pixel R is more sensitive to temperature. When the red sub-pixel R is affected by temperature, the color (wavelength) of its emitted light is prone to significant shift, which affects the color accuracy and consistency of the display panel.

[0081] The display panel provided in the above embodiments can also utilize the heat dissipation characteristics of the resin filling layer 20 to reduce the impact of temperature rise on the red photon pixel R, and avoid the color shift of the emitted light from the red photon pixel R, thereby improving the color accuracy and consistency of the display panel.

[0082] In some embodiments, the display panel may also have a transparent dielectric layer 40 formed between adjacent first sub-pixels and second sub-pixels.

[0083] The surface of the red sub-pixel R is sometimes designed with microscopic irregularities (also known as roughened structure) to increase the surface area and improve light extraction efficiency. However, this also makes the siphon effect of the red sub-pixel R more obvious, that is, the multiple reflections and scattering of light on the surface are difficult to completely block.

[0084] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second light-shielding structure 30b can be set to be less than the thickness of the first light-shielding structure 30a. A thicker first light-shielding structure 30a can increase the light absorption path, thereby further improving the light absorption rate of the first light-shielding structure 30a, more effectively blocking light from entering, and ensuring that the red sub-pixel R can achieve the expected optical characteristics and performance indicators when working.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 Multiple spaced fourth protrusions 121b can be provided at the bottom of the second light-emitting unit 12b. For example, the gaps between the fourth protrusions 121b can be filled by the second light-shielding structure 30b.

[0086] Understandable, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a plurality of spaced fifth protrusions 122b may also be provided on the top of the second light-emitting unit 12b. In some embodiments, in the first sub-pixel, the arrangement density of the third protrusion 122a may be set to be less than the arrangement density of the second protrusion 121a; while in the second sub-pixel, the arrangement density of the fifth protrusions 122b is not less than the arrangement density of the fourth protrusion 121b.

[0087] It should be noted that the "protrusions" involved in this application (such as the first protrusion, the second protrusion, the third protrusion, and the fourth protrusion) can specifically manifest as microlenses, micropyramids, or microgrids, etc., but are not limited to these. The "protrusions" involved in this application can have regular shapes or irregular surface structures, both of which are permissible.

In actual embodiments, the display panel may include more or fewer components than shown in the figures, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0089] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of this application also provide a display device, including the display panel provided in the above embodiments. This display device can be any electronic device with display functionality, such as an in-vehicle display device, a mobile phone, a computer, a smart wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch), etc., and embodiments of this application do not limit this to any particular type.

[0090] The specific limitations of the display panel have been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here. The display device can also achieve all the technical effects achievable by the aforementioned display panel, and will not be elaborated upon here either.

[0091] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features of the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
