[0086] For example, the display panel of the display device in the present application embodiment can be an OLED display panel, which includes a display substrate and a functional film layer located on the display substrate. The present application does not limit the functional film layer.
[0087] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a display panel, which includes a substrate 100, wherein the substrate 100 has a thickness direction (e.g., Figure 1 A driving device layer 200, an isolation structure 300, a display function layer, and an encapsulation layer 500 are disposed on one side of the driving device layer 200 (in the Z direction). The isolation structure 300 is disposed on the side of the driving device layer 200 facing away from the substrate 100, and the isolation structure 300 defines a plurality of first isolation openings 310.
[0088] The composition and preparation of the isolation structure 300 are detailed in patents CN118251982A, 202410864269.8, PCT / CN2024 / 098407, PCT / CN2024 / 102783, PCT / CN2024 / 098217, PCT / CN2024 / 099419, PCT / CN2024 / 099072, and C. Further descriptions are provided in N117979755A, CN117998900A, CN117062489A, CN117580403A, CN116583155A, CN116669477A, CN117396039A, CN116669480A, CN116600606A, and CN117500332A for reference.
[0089] The display functional layer is disposed on one side of the substrate 100 in the thickness direction, and is located on the side where the isolation structure 300 is located. The display functional layer is also disposed on the side of the driving device layer 200 facing away from the substrate 100. The display functional layer includes a plurality of light-emitting units 400, which may include a first light-emitting unit 410, a second light-emitting unit 420, and a third light-emitting unit 430. The first light-emitting unit 410 is correspondingly disposed with respect to the first isolation opening 310. Among the plurality of light-emitting units 400, a portion is the first light-emitting unit 410, a portion is the second light-emitting unit 420, and the remainder is the third light-emitting unit 430.
[0090] Optionally, the first light-emitting unit 410 can emit green light, the second light-emitting unit 420 can emit blue light, and the third light-emitting unit 430 can emit red light.
[0091] Optionally, the first light-emitting unit 410 can emit red light, the second light-emitting unit 420 can emit green light, and the third light-emitting unit 430 can emit blue light.
[0092] Optionally, the first light-emitting unit 410 can emit blue light, the second light-emitting unit 420 can emit red light, and the third light-emitting unit 430 can emit green light.
[0093] It is understood that the driving device layer 200 can be electrically connected to the light-emitting unit 400 to provide signals to the light-emitting unit 400. The light-emitting unit 400 includes a first electrode, a light-emitting layer, and a second electrode arranged sequentially. The first electrode can be an anode, and the second electrode can be a cathode. The light-emitting layer is formed on the pixel define layer (PDL), and the first electrode is located between the pixel define layer and the driving device layer 200.
[0094] The driving device layer 200 includes multiple insulating film layers and multiple stacked and mutually insulated first metal layer (M1), second metal layer (M2), metal oxide layer (GATO), third metal layer (M3), and fourth metal layer (M4). The first metal layer, second metal layer, metal oxide layer, third metal layer, and fourth metal layer are sequentially disposed in a direction away from the substrate 100. The multiple insulating film layers are, respectively, a first gate dielectric layer (Gate Insulator 1, GL1), a capacitor dielectric layer (CI), a buffer layer, a second gate dielectric layer (Gate Insulator 1, GL2), an interlayer dielectric layer (ILD), a first planarization layer (Planarization 1, PLN1), and a second planarization layer (Planarization 2, PLN2) sequentially disposed in a direction away from the substrate 100.
[0095] The first metal layer is disposed between the first gate dielectric layer and the capacitor dielectric layer, the second metal layer is disposed between the capacitor dielectric layer and the buffer layer, the metal oxide layer is disposed between the second gate dielectric layer and the interlayer dielectric layer, the third metal layer is disposed between the interlayer dielectric layer and the first planarization layer, and the fourth metal layer is disposed between the first planarization layer and the second planarization layer.
[0096] The driving device layer 200 has a multilayer structure, and further includes polysilicon (PSI) and indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO). The polysilicon is disposed between the substrate 100 and the first gate dielectric layer, the IGZO is disposed between the buffer layer and the second gate dielectric layer, and the first electrode is disposed between the second planarization layer and the pixel definition layer. Furthermore, the substrate 100 has a bottom light-shielding layer opposite to the polysilicon.
[0097] It should be noted that the internal structure of the driving device layer 200 is not shown in the figure.
[0098] The inventors discovered that the encapsulation layer 500 is typically used to encapsulate the light-emitting unit 400 after its formation. After encapsulating the light-emitting unit 400, the encapsulation layer 500 has an edge. This edge is located on the side of the isolation structure 300 opposite to the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the edge on the substrate 100 lies within the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 300 on the substrate 100. There is an open gap between the edge and the isolation structure 300. In subsequent processes, the edge is easily damaged, reducing reliability.
[0099] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 To address the aforementioned technical problems, in some embodiments, the encapsulation layer 500 of this application is located on the side of the display functional layer facing away from the substrate 100, and the encapsulation layer 500 includes a plurality of first encapsulation portions 510. The orthographic projection of the first light-emitting unit 410 on the substrate 100 lies within the orthographic projection of the corresponding first encapsulation portion 510 on the substrate 100. At least two adjacent first encapsulation portions 510 are connected in at least a portion of the plurality of first encapsulation portions 510. This can improve the structural strength of the first encapsulation portion 510, increase the difficulty of the first encapsulation portion 510 being damaged, increase reliability, and thus improve the performance of the display panel.
[0100] Therefore, the display panel provided in this application embodiment can improve the performance of the display device.
[0101] In other embodiments, the orthographic projections of at least two first light-emitting units 410 on the substrate 100 lie within the orthographic projection of the same first encapsulation portion 510 on the substrate 100. That is, the same first encapsulation portion can cover at least two first light-emitting units 410. This increases the area of the first encapsulation portion 510, improving its structural strength and making it more difficult to damage, thus increasing reliability and ultimately improving the performance of the display panel.
[0102] Optionally, a plurality of first light-emitting units 410 are arranged in an array in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the substrate 100. For example, the first light-emitting units 410 are arranged along a first direction (e.g., Figure 3 (in the X direction) and the second direction (e.g.) Figure 3 The first direction and the second direction are arranged in the Y direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the thickness direction of the substrate 100.
[0103] Correspondingly, multiple first encapsulation portions 510 are arranged in an array in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the substrate 100, wherein the first encapsulation portions 510 are arranged along a first direction and / or a second direction. This allows the first encapsulation portions 510 to have different arrangement methods, providing good applicability. Furthermore, the first light-emitting unit 410 can also be arranged according to the arrangement method of the first encapsulation portions 510.
[0104] Please see Figure 3 For example, in the first direction, at least two adjacent first package portions 510 are connected. Alternatively, in the first direction, every two adjacent first package portions 510 are connected.
[0105] Please see Figure 4 For example, in the second direction, at least two adjacent first package portions 510 are connected. Alternatively, in the second direction, every two adjacent first package portions 510 are connected.
[0106] Please see Figure 5 For example, at least two adjacent first package portions 510 are connected in both the first and second directions. Alternatively, every two adjacent first package portions 510 are connected in both the first and second directions.
[0107] In this way, connecting the different first packaging parts 510 together helps to improve the overall strength of the packaging layer 500.
[0108] For example, at least two adjacent first package portions 510 are integrally connected in at least a portion of the plurality of first package portions 510.
[0109] In other words, the first package portion 510 is integrally formed, which can make the structural strength of the first package portion 510 higher, thereby further increasing reliability.
[0110] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the isolation structure 300 defines a plurality of second isolation openings 320, the display functional layer further includes a plurality of second light-emitting units 420, and the encapsulation layer 500 further includes a plurality of second encapsulation portions 520. The second light-emitting units 420 are correspondingly disposed with respect to the second isolation openings 320, and the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting unit 420 on the substrate 100 lies within the orthographic projection of the corresponding second encapsulation portion 520 on the substrate 100.
[0111] The first packaging portion 510 includes a first edge 511, which is located on the side of the isolation structure 300 away from the substrate 100. The orthographic projection of the first edge 511 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 300 on the substrate 100. The second packaging portion 520 includes a second edge 521, which is located on the side of the isolation structure 300 away from the substrate 100. The orthographic projection of the second edge 521 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 300 on the substrate 100. The first edge 511 and the second edge 521 overlap in the thickness direction of the substrate 100.
[0112] In this way, the first packaging part 510 and the second packaging part 520 have overlapping portions, which can improve the reliability of the first packaging part 510 and the second packaging part 520, thereby further improving the performance of the display device.
[0113] Optionally, the first edge 511 includes a first overlapping portion 5111, and the second edge 521 includes a second overlapping portion 5211. The orthographic projection of the first overlapping portion 5111 on the substrate 100 coincides with the orthographic projection of the second overlapping portion 5211 on the substrate 100. The first overlapping portion 5111 and the second overlapping portion 5211 are spaced apart in the thickness direction of the substrate.
[0114] In this way, the first overlapping portion 5111 can overlap with the second overlapping portion 5211, and the first edge 511 can protect the second edge 521, or the second edge 521 can protect the first edge 511.
[0115] For example, please refer to Figure 6 The first overlapping portion 5111 may be located on the side of the second overlapping portion 5211 facing the substrate 100.
[0116] For example, please refer to Figure 7The first overlapping portion 5111 may also be located on the side of the second overlapping portion 5211 away from the substrate 100.
[0117] It is understood that during the processing of the display panel provided in this application embodiment, the second electrode of the second light-emitting unit 420, the light-emitting layer of the second light-emitting unit 420 and the second encapsulation part 520 are first formed in the second isolation opening 320, and then the second electrode of the first light-emitting unit 410, the light-emitting layer of the first light-emitting unit 410 and the first encapsulation part 510 are formed in the first isolation opening 310.
[0118] In this way, the second edge 521 can be formed before the first edge 511, that is, the second encapsulation part 520 can be formed before the first encapsulation part 510. The first encapsulation part 510 can protect the second encapsulation part 520 to improve the reliability of the second encapsulation part 520.
[0119] Of course, the first edge banding 511 can be formed before the second edge banding 521, that is, the first encapsulation part 510 can be formed before the second encapsulation part 520. The second encapsulation part 520 can protect the first encapsulation part 510 to improve the reliability of the first encapsulation part 510.
[0120] For example, the first isolation opening 310 and the second isolation opening 320 are spaced apart. In the spaced direction of the first isolation opening 310 and the second isolation opening 320, the size of the first overlapping portion 5111 and / or the second overlapping portion 5211 is a, and the value of a is in the range of a > 0.5um.
[0121] It is understandable that the overlap area of the first edge 511 and the second edge 521 is positively correlated with the dimension a. The larger the value of a, the larger the overlap area of the first edge 511 and the second edge 521, thereby improving the reliability of the first encapsulation part 510 or the second encapsulation part 520, and thus improving the reliability of the display panel and the display device.
[0122] For example, the value of 'a' can be: 0.55um, 0.60um, 0.65um, 0.70um, 0.75um, 0.80um, 0.85um, 0.90um, 0.95um, 1.0um, etc.
[0123] Please continue reading. Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, at least a portion of the plurality of first encapsulation portions 510 are disposed around the second isolation opening 320. It is understood that disposing at least a portion of the plurality of first encapsulation portions 510 around the second isolation opening 320 can increase the arrangement area of the first encapsulation portions 510, which is beneficial to improving the overall strength of the encapsulation layer 500.
[0124] Optionally, at least two adjacent first encapsulation portions 510 are connected in at least a portion of the first encapsulation portions 510 surrounding the second isolation opening 320.
[0125] For example, in at least a portion of the first encapsulation portion 510 disposed around the second isolation opening 320, every two adjacent first encapsulation portions 510 are connected.
[0126] For example, a plurality of first edgings 511 of at least a portion of the first encapsulation portion 510 surrounding the second isolation opening 320 can be connected to form an annular body. Optionally, this annular body can overlap with the second encapsulation portion 520. In this way, the structural strength of the first encapsulation portion 510 is further increased, and the overlap area between the first encapsulation portion 510 and the second encapsulation portion 520 can also be increased, thereby further increasing the reliability of the first encapsulation portion 510 or the second encapsulation portion 520.
[0127] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the isolation structure 300 further defines a plurality of third isolation openings 330, the display functional layer further includes a plurality of third light-emitting units 430, and the encapsulation layer 500 further includes a plurality of third encapsulation portions 530. The third light-emitting units 430 are correspondingly disposed with respect to the third isolation openings 330, and the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting unit 430 on the substrate 100 lies within the orthographic projection of the corresponding third encapsulation portion 530 on the substrate 100.
[0128] The first packaging portion 510 includes a first edge 511, which is located on the side of the isolation structure 300 away from the substrate 100. The orthographic projection of the first edge 511 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 300 on the substrate 100. The third packaging portion 530 includes a third edge 531, which is located on the side of the isolation structure 300 away from the substrate 100. The orthographic projection of the third edge 531 on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 300 on the substrate 100. The first edge 511 and the third edge 531 overlap in the thickness direction of the substrate 100.
[0129] In this way, the first packaging section 510 and the third packaging section 530 have overlapping portions, which can improve the reliability of the first packaging section 510 and the third packaging section 530, thereby further improving the performance of the display device.
[0130] Optionally, the first edge 511 further includes a third overlapping portion 5112, and the third edge 531 includes a fourth overlapping portion 5311. The orthographic projection of the third overlapping portion 5112 on the substrate 100 coincides with the orthographic projection of the fourth overlapping portion 5311 on the substrate 100. The third overlapping portion 5112 and the fourth overlapping portion 5311 are spaced apart in the thickness direction of the substrate 100.
[0131] In this way, the third overlapping portion 5112 can overlap with the fourth overlapping portion 5311, and the first edge 511 can protect the third edge 531, or the third edge 531 can protect the first edge 511.
[0132] For example, please refer to Figure 8 The third overlapping portion 5112 may be located on the side of the fourth overlapping portion 5311 away from the substrate 100.
[0133] For example, please refer to Figure 9 The third overlapping portion 5112 may also be located on the side of the fourth overlapping portion 5311 facing the substrate 100.
[0134] It is understandable that during the substrate processing of substrate 100, the second electrode of the first light-emitting unit 410, the light-emitting layer of the first light-emitting unit 410 and the first encapsulation part 510 are first formed in the first isolation opening 310, and then the second electrode of the third light-emitting unit 430, the light-emitting layer of the third light-emitting unit 430 and the third encapsulation part 530 are formed in the third isolation opening 330.
[0135] In this way, the first edge 511 can be formed before the third edge 531, that is, the first encapsulation part 510 can be formed before the third encapsulation part 530. The third encapsulation part 530 can protect the first encapsulation part 510 to improve the reliability of the first encapsulation part 510.
[0136] Of course, the third edge 531 can be formed before the first edge 511, that is, the third encapsulation part 530 can be formed before the first encapsulation part 510. The first encapsulation part 510 can protect the third encapsulation part 530 to improve the reliability of the third encapsulation part 530.
[0137] For example, the first isolation opening 310 and the third isolation opening 330 are spaced apart. In the spaced direction of the first isolation opening 310 and the third isolation opening 330, the size of the third overlapping portion 5112 and / or the fourth overlapping portion 5311 is b, and the value of b is in the range of: b > 0.5um.
[0138] For example, the value of b can be: 0.55um, 0.60um, 0.65um, 0.70um, 0.75um, 0.80um, 0.85um, 0.90um, 0.95um, 1.0um, etc.
[0139] It is understandable that the overlap area of the first edge 511 and the third edge 531 is positively correlated with the dimension b. The larger the value of b, the larger the overlap area of the first edge 511 and the third edge 531, thereby improving the reliability of the first encapsulation part 510, and thus improving the reliability of the display panel and the display device.
[0140] Please continue reading.

In this way, the structural strength of the first encapsulation portion 510 is further increased, and the overlap area between the first encapsulation portion 510 and the third encapsulation portion 530 can also be increased, thereby further increasing the reliability of the first encapsulation portion 510 or the third encapsulation portion 530.
