[0034] As mentioned in the background section, the reliability of OLED display products still needs improvement. One reason affecting the reliability of OLED display products is that the bonding area between the display panel and the flexible circuit board is prone to problems such as film separation and bulging, resulting in lower reliability of the display module.
[0035] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a display panel, a display module, and a display device. By optimizing the structure of the bonding area of the OLED display panel, the risk of problems such as film separation and bulging in the bonding area is reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the display product.
[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0037] In the accompanying drawings, the dimensions of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity. It is understood that when a structure is referred to as being "on" or "below" another structure, the structure may be directly on or below the other structure, or there may be intermediate structures. The same reference numerals always indicate the same structure. Structures referred to herein include any of the following: membrane, element, device, component, assembly.
[0038] When a structure is referred to as being “connected” to another structure, it can be directly connected to the other structure or indirectly connected to the other structure by means of one or more intermediate structures placed between them.
[0039] The first aspect of this application provides a display panel. Figure 1a This is a top view of a display panel provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1b for Figure 1a A magnified view of a portion of the display panel shown. Figure 2 Provided for the first embodiment of this application Figure 1a The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the display panel along line N1N2. (Combined with...) Figure 1a , Figure 1b and Figure 2 As shown, the display panel includes a display area AA and a bonding area BA located on at least one side of the display area AA.
[0040] Specifically, the display panel includes a substrate 11, a plurality of first conductive structures 121, and a plurality of protective layers 13. The plurality of first conductive structures 121 are located on one side of the substrate 11 and are situated in the bonding region BA. The plurality of protective layers 13 are sequentially stacked on the side of the first conductive structures 121 facing away from the substrate 11. Each protective layer 13 includes a plurality of covering portions 131, each covering portion having an opening that exposes a portion of the first conductive structure 121. The openings of the covering portions 131 of different protective layers 13 are interconnected. The orthographic projection of the covering portion 131 onto the substrate 11 at least covers the edge region of the orthographic projection of the first conductive structure 121 onto the substrate 11. At least a portion of the protective layer 13 also includes a connecting portion 132 located between adjacent first conductive structures 121 and connecting adjacent covering portions 131. The orthographic projection of the connecting portion 132 onto the substrate lies between the orthographic projections of adjacent first conductive structures 121 onto the substrate 11, and the connecting portion 132 connects to adjacent covering portions 131, such that the connecting portion 132 and the covering portion 131 form an integral structure. For example, the material of the protective layer 13 corresponding to the connecting part 132 is an inorganic material.
[0041] The substrate 11 may be a glass substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate 11 may include an organic resin material such as epoxy resin, triazine, silicone resin, or polyimide. For example, the substrate 11 may be an FR4 type printed circuit board (PCB), or a flexible PCB that is easily deformable. In some embodiments, the substrate 11 may include a ceramic material such as silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, or aluminum oxide, or may include a metal or metal compound.
[0042] In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the cover portion 131 onto the substrate 11 at least covers the edge region of the orthographic projection of the first conductive structure 121 onto the substrate 11. The width of this edge region is greater than or equal to 0.5 micrometers and less than or equal to 6 micrometers. Here, the width refers to the length in the direction from the centroid of the first conductive structure 121 towards the edge. For example, the width of the edge region can be 1 micrometer, 1.5 micrometers, 2 micrometers, 2.5 micrometers, 3 micrometers, 3.5 micrometers, 4 micrometers, 4.5 micrometers, 5 micrometers, 5.5 micrometers, etc.
[0043] The first conductive structure 121 is also called a conductive pad or solder pad. The first conductive structure 121 serves as an external terminal of the display panel, electrically connected to the external circuit structure of the display panel to receive electrical signals from the external circuit structure, or to transmit internal electrical signals of the display panel.
[0044] The protective layer 13 is used to provide protection for the first conductive structure 121. For example, some protective layers 13 are used to protect the first conductive structure 121 from etching damage during the fabrication of the display panel. Each protective layer 13 includes a plurality of covers 131, each cover 131 corresponding to a first conductive structure 121. Each cover 131 includes an opening that exposes a portion of the first conductive structure 121. The openings of the covers 131 of different protective layers 13 are interconnected to form a window on the side of the first conductive structure 121 facing away from the substrate, thereby exposing a portion of the first conductive structure 121.
[0045] Depending on the material, the multiple protective layers 13 may include organic and inorganic protective layers; that is, some protective layers 13 are made of organic materials, while others are made of inorganic materials. In the organic protective layer, adjacent covering portions 131 are disconnected between adjacent first conductive structures 121, while the inorganic protective layer, in addition to the covering portions 131, also includes connecting portions 132 located between adjacent first conductive structures 121, connecting the adjacent covering portions 131. In other words, no organic protective layer is provided between adjacent first conductive structures 121, but an inorganic protective layer can be provided.
[0046] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of protective layers 13 includes a first protective layer 1301. The first protective layer 1301 does not include the connecting portion 132, and the material of the first protective layer 1301 is an organic material. That is, the first protective layer 1301 made of organic material is provided around the periphery of the first conductive structure 121, and the portion of the area between the first conductive structures 121 is not provided with the first protective layer 1301 made of organic material. For example, the first protective layer 1301 is the protective layer 13 closest to the substrate 11 among the plurality of protective layers 13, and the first protective layer 1301 is in contact with the first conductive structure 121.
[0047] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of protective layers 13 also includes a second protective layer 1302, which is located on the side of the first protective layer 1301 away from the substrate 11. The second protective layer 1302 includes a connecting portion 132, and the material of the second protective layer 1302 is an inorganic material. Exemplarily, the second protective layer 1302 covers the sidewall of the opening formed by the first protective layer 1301. In this way, the second protective layer 1302 can provide protection for the sidewall of the first protective layer 1301.
[0048] Figure 3 Provided for an embodiment of this application Figure 1a The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the display panel along line N3N4. (Combined with...) Figure 3 and Figure 2As shown, the display panel includes a planarization layer 36, which is located in the display area AA. The planarization layer 36 and the first protective layer 1301 are disposed in the same layer and / or made of the same material.
[0049] It should be noted that the display panel may include multiple planarization layers 36, and the first protective layer 1301 may be of the same layer and material as any of the planarization layers 36.
[0050] The display panel also includes a touch insulating layer 342 located in the display area AA. The touch insulating layer 342 is disposed in the same layer as the second protective layer 1302 and / or made of the same material.
[0051] The first conductive structure 121 includes at least one conductive layer. The display panel also includes at least one metal layer located in the display area AA. The conductive layer and the metal layer correspond to each other, and the corresponding conductive layer and metal layer are disposed in the same layer and / or made of the same material.
[0052] For example, the first conductive structure 121 includes a plurality of conductive layers stacked sequentially. The display panel also includes a plurality of metal layers stacked sequentially. For example, the display panel includes a first metal layer M1, a second metal layer M2, a third metal layer M3, a fourth metal layer M4, and a fifth metal layer M5 stacked sequentially in a direction away from the substrate 11. The first conductive structure 121 includes a first conductive layer 1211, a second conductive layer 1212, and a third conductive layer 1213 stacked sequentially. The first conductive layer 1211 and the third metal layer M3 are in the same layer and made of the same material, the second conductive layer 1212 and the fourth metal layer M4 are in the same layer and made of the same material, and the third conductive layer 1213 and the fifth metal layer M5 are in the same layer and made of the same material.
[0053] In one embodiment, the second conductive layer 1212 at least covers the surface of the first conductive layer 1211 away from the substrate 11 and the sidewalls of the first conductive layer 1211.
[0054] In one embodiment, the third conductive layer 1213 at least covers the surface of the second conductive layer 1212 away from the substrate 11 and the sidewalls of the second conductive layer 1212.
[0055] In one embodiment, at least one of the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, and the third conductive layer is a titanium-aluminum-titanium stacked structure.
[0056] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the conductive layer is an ITO / Ag / ITO stacked structure. For example, the first conductive layer 1211, the second conductive layer 1212, and the third conductive layer 1213 are all ITO / Ag / ITO stacked structures.
[0057] According to the display panel provided in this embodiment, at least one protective layer is provided to surround the first conductive structure, thereby protecting the first conductive structure and preventing side etching during the display panel manufacturing process. Furthermore, by using an inorganic material for the protective layer corresponding to the connection portion, meaning that at least a portion of the area between adjacent first conductive structures 121 lacks an organic protective layer, problems such as water absorption, bulging, and film separation of the organic protective layer between adjacent first conductive structures 121 are avoided during display panel manufacturing processes, such as cleaning, exposure, development, dry etching, wet etching, and glass etching, thus improving the reliability of the display panel.
[0058] Figure 4 Provided for the second embodiment of this application Figure 1a The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the display panel along line N1N2. Figure 3 The display panel shown and Figure 2 The difference in the display panel shown is that, in this embodiment, the display panel further includes a plurality of second conductive structures 122. The second conductive structures 122 are located on the side of the first conductive structure 121 facing away from the substrate 11, and at least a portion of the second conductive structures 122 are located within the opening. The second conductive structures 122 and the first conductive structures 121 correspond one-to-one, and the corresponding second conductive structures 122 and the first conductive structures 121 constitute conductive pads or solder pads.
[0059] For example, at least a portion of the second conductive structure 122 extends from the opening to the protective layer 13 on the side away from the substrate 11. This increases the area of the second conductive structure 122, facilitating subsequent bonding with external circuit structures.
[0060] According to the display panel provided in this embodiment, the entire first conductive structure 121 and the second conductive structure 122 are used as conductive pads 12 or solder pads, which increases the thickness of the conductive pads and solder pads, thereby reducing resistance and reducing electrical signal loss.
[0061] In one embodiment, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4The fabrication process of the display panel shown includes: growing and patterning a semiconductor material on a substrate 11, and forming a first semiconductor layer in the display area AA.

An organic encapsulation layer 332 is fabricated on the side of the encapsulation portion 331 and the isolation structure 31 away from the substrate 11. The organic encapsulation layer 332 extends out of the display area AA and terminates between the display area AA and the bonding area BA. An inorganic encapsulation layer 333 is fabricated on the side of the organic encapsulation layer 332 away from the substrate 11. The inorganic encapsulation layer extends out of the display area AA and terminates between the display area AA and the bonding area BA, and covers the organic encapsulation layer 332.Metal material is deposited and patterned on the side of the inorganic encapsulation layer 333 away from the substrate 11 to form a first touch metal layer 341 located in the display area AA.

Both the third protective layer 1303 and the fourth protective layer 1304 include connecting portions 132.
