Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, specifically to display panels, their manufacturing methods, and display devices. Background Technology
[0002] A display panel is a device with display functionality. Current display panels, such as those based on Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) technologies, offer advantages like high image quality, energy efficiency, thinness, and wide applicability, making them the mainstream choice for various consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, televisions, laptops, and desktop computers. In traditional display panel manufacturing, a fine metal mask (FMM) is typically used to pattern the light-emitting pixels. FMM technology is mature and has extensive mass production experience. However, FMM technology also suffers from limitations in precision, high development costs, and long development cycles. Fine metal mask-less technology eliminates the limitations of traditional OLED processes on display size, resolution, and other screen performance aspects, offering advantages such as high performance, full-size display, and agile delivery. The technology of not using fine metal masks is mentioned in patents CN118251982A, 202410864269.8, PCT / CN2024 / 098407, PCT / CN2024 / 102783, PCT / CN2024 / 098217, PCT / CN2024 / 099419, PCT / CN2024 / 099072, and CN117979755. CN117998900A, CN117062489A, CN117580403A, CN116583155A, CN116669477A, CN117396039A, CN116669480A, CN116600606A, and CN117500332A contain information related to the technology of not using fine metal masks, for reference.

[0084] 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.
[0085] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented even without certain specific details. In some instances, methods and means well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.
[0086] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0087] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0088] The inventors of this application discovered that when fabricating light-emitting devices using a non-fine metal mask technique, the hole transport units inevitably overlap with the isolation structure during evaporation deposition, leading to lateral leakage in the light-emitting device. This affects the image quality, power consumption, low-grayscale image quality, and lifespan of the display panel. Furthermore, in different light-emitting devices, hole transport units of the same thickness have different resistances; hole transport units with lower resistance experience more severe lateral leakage, resulting in uneven image display on the panel.
[0089] In view of this, the first aspect of this application provides a display panel, referring to Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-sectional structure of the display panel, which includes a substrate 100, an isolation structure 200, and multiple light-emitting devices 300.
[0090] Optionally, the isolation structure 200 is located on one side of the substrate 100, and the isolation structure 200 surrounds a plurality of isolation openings 210.
[0091] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The schematic cross-sectional view of the isolation structure shown illustrates that the isolation structure 200 includes a first part 201 and a second part 202 stacked together. The first part 201 is located on the side of the second part 202 facing away from the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the second part 202 onto the substrate 100 lies within the orthographic projection range of the first part 201 onto the substrate 100. For example, the second part 202 can be designed as an independent film layer, meaning there is no physical interface within the second part 202, and all parts are made of the same material, such as aluminum. Alternatively, the second part 202 can be designed as being composed of at least two stacked film layers. For example, the second part 202 can be formed by stacking two conductive film layers, the materials of which can be molybdenum and aluminum, respectively, with the molybdenum conductive film layer located between the substrate 100 and the aluminum conductive film layer. For example, the second part 202 may include a conductive sub-part, or the second part 202 itself may be a conductive structure. The second part 202 overlaps with the first electrode layer 310 of the light-emitting device 300, so that the first electrode layers 310 of adjacent light-emitting devices 300 are electrically connected to each other, thereby realizing a full-surface cathode. The material of the first part 201 can be an organic material, an inorganic material, or a metallic material. If the first part 201 is a metallic material, the material of the second part 202 can be titanium.
[0092] Optionally, at least a portion of the first carrier transmission unit 310 is connected to the second part 202.
[0093] For example, refer to Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the isolation structure shown illustrates that the isolation structure 200 also includes a third part 203 located on the side of the second part 202 near the substrate 100. The orthographic projection of the second part 202 onto the substrate 100 lies within the orthographic projection range of the third part 203 onto the substrate 100. For example, the second part 202 is a conductive film layer made of aluminum, and the third part 203 is a conductive film layer made of molybdenum. In this case, the cross-section of the isolation structure 200 is I-shaped.
[0094] Optionally, at least a portion of the first carrier transmission unit 310 is connected to the third part 203.
[0095] Optionally, the light-emitting device 300 includes a first carrier transport unit 310, which is located in the isolation opening 210 and at least a portion of the first carrier transport unit 310 overlaps with the isolation structure 200; the plurality of light-emitting devices 300 include a first light-emitting device 301 and a second light-emitting device 302, wherein the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301 is different from the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the second light-emitting device 302.
[0096] In the display panel provided according to the embodiments of this application, the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301 is different from the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the second light-emitting device 302. Since the resistance of the first carrier transport unit 310 in different light-emitting devices 300 is different, the different thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 in different light-emitting devices 300 is beneficial to improve the leakage caused by the first carrier transport unit 310 overlapping with the isolation structure 200, and improve the display quality of the display panel.
[0097] In one embodiment, the first light-emitting device 301 and the second light-emitting device 302 are different colors. For example, the first light-emitting device 301 is a red light-emitting device, and the second light-emitting device 302 is a green light-emitting device.
[0098] The inventors of this application discovered that, in the prior art, when the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of different light-emitting devices is the same, the resistance of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the red light-emitting device is less than that of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the green light-emitting device, resulting in a greater lateral leakage current in the red light-emitting device than in the green light-emitting device. In one embodiment of this application, the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than that of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the second light-emitting device 302. This reduces the impedance of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 100, allowing current to flow more easily away from the substrate 100, reducing lateral leakage current in the first carrier transport unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301, and improving leakage current. In addition, the first carrier transmission unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301 is thinner, which helps to reduce the degree of overlap between the first carrier transmission unit 310 and the isolation structure 200, thereby reducing the continuity of the first carrier transmission unit 310, increasing the overlap impedance between the first carrier transmission unit 310 and the isolation structure 200, further reducing lateral leakage current, and improving leakage current.
[0099] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1The first carrier transport unit 310 includes a hole transport layer 311, and the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the second light-emitting device 302.
[0100] Optionally, the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 is less than or equal to For example, it can be... or Therefore, the hole transport layer 311 is thinner, making it easier for current in the light-emitting device 300 to flow away from the substrate 100. In the direction parallel to the plane of the substrate 100, the resistance of the hole transport layer 311 is higher, and current transport is less efficient, reducing lateral leakage and improving leakage current. Furthermore, the thinner thickness of the hole transport layer 311 helps reduce the overlap between the hole transport layer 311 and the isolation structure 200, decreasing the continuity of the hole transport layer 311 and increasing the overlap impedance between the hole transport layer 311 and the isolation structure 200, further reducing lateral leakage and improving leakage current.
[0101] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown indicates that the first carrier transport unit 310 further includes a hole injection layer 312, located on the side of the hole transport layer 311 close to the substrate 100. The thickness of the hole injection layer 312 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than or equal to the thickness of the hole injection layer 312 of the second light-emitting device 302.
[0102] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown shows that the light-emitting device 300 also includes a light-emitting auxiliary layer 313, which is located on the side of the hole transport layer 311 away from the substrate 100; the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than or equal to the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the second light-emitting device 302.
[0103] For example, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 may include a prime layer to improve the contact between the first carrier transport unit 310 and the light-emitting layer 340, thereby facilitating hole injection and improving light emission efficiency.
[0104] For example, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 is located between the hole transport layer 311 and the light-emitting layer 340.
[0105] For example, the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the first light-emitting device 301 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313. and less than or equal to For example, it can be... or Therefore, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the first light-emitting device 301 is advantageous for transmitting current in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 100, while the resistance is large and current transmission is difficult in the direction parallel to the plane of the substrate 100, which can effectively avoid lateral leakage current. In addition, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the first light-emitting device 301 is not easy to overlap with the isolation structure 200. In other words, even if the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the first light-emitting device 301 overlaps with the isolation structure 200, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 will break at the overlap point, reducing continuity or the overlap resistance will be high, further reducing the risk of lateral leakage current.
[0106] For example, the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the second light-emitting device 302 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313. and less than or equal to For example, it can be... or Therefore, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the second light-emitting device 302 is advantageous for transmitting current in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 100, while the resistance is large and current transmission is difficult in the direction parallel to the plane of the substrate 100, which can effectively avoid lateral leakage current. In addition, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the second light-emitting device 302 is not easy to overlap with the isolation structure 200. In other words, even if the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the second light-emitting device 302 overlaps with the isolation structure 200, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 will break at the overlap point, reducing continuity or the overlap resistance will be high, further reducing the risk of lateral leakage current.
[0107] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown includes multiple light-emitting devices 300, including a third light-emitting device 303. The thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the third light-emitting device 303 is different from the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301, and also different from the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the second light-emitting device 302.
[0108] Optionally, the color of the third light-emitting device 303 is different from the color of the first light-emitting device 301 and also different from the color of the second light-emitting device 302. For example, the first light-emitting device 301 is a red light-emitting device, the second light-emitting device 302 is a green light-emitting device, and the third light-emitting device 303 is a blue light-emitting device.
[0109] The inventors of this application discovered that, when the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 is the same, the lateral leakage of the red light-emitting device is greater than that of the green light-emitting device, and the lateral leakage of the green light-emitting device is greater than that of the blue light-emitting device. Optionally, the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the second light-emitting device 302, and the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the second light-emitting device 302 is less than the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the third light-emitting device 303. This helps to reduce the impedance of the first carrier transport unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301 and the second light-emitting device 302 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 100, allowing current to flow more easily away from the substrate 100, reducing the lateral leakage of the first carrier transport unit 310, and improving leakage current. The thickness of the first carrier transmission unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301, the second light-emitting device 302, and the third light-emitting device 303 is set according to the above rule, so that the first carrier transmission unit 310 of the first light-emitting device 301, the second light-emitting device 302, and the third light-emitting device 303 will hardly have lateral leakage, or even if there is leakage, the degree of leakage of the three is relatively close, so that the display panel has a high display quality.
[0110] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown shows that the first carrier transport unit 310 includes a hole transport layer 311. The thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the second light-emitting device 302; the thickness of the hole transport layer of the second light-emitting device 302 is less than the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the third light-emitting device 303.
[0111] Optionally, the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 is less than or equal to For example, it can be... or Therefore, the hole transport layer 311 is thinner, making it easier for current in the light-emitting device 300 to flow away from the substrate 100, reducing lateral leakage current in the hole transport layer 311 and improving leakage current. Furthermore, the thinner thickness of the hole transport layer 311 helps reduce the overlap between the hole transport layer 311 and the isolation structure 200, decreasing the continuity of the hole transport layer 311 and increasing the overlap impedance between the hole transport layer 311 and the isolation structure 200, further reducing lateral leakage current and improving leakage current.
[0112] Optionally, refer to Figure 8The schematic cross-sectional view of the display panel shown indicates that the first carrier transport unit 310 further includes a hole injection layer 312 located on the side of the hole transport layer 311 closest to the substrate 100. The thickness of the hole injection layer 312 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than or equal to the thickness of the hole injection layer 312 of the second light-emitting device 302; the thickness of the hole injection layer 312 of the second light-emitting device 302 is less than or equal to the thickness of the hole injection layer 312 of the third light-emitting device 303.
[0113] Optionally, refer to Figure 9 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown shows that the light-emitting device 300 also includes a light-emitting auxiliary layer 313, which is located on the side of the hole transport layer 311 away from the substrate 100; the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than or equal to the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the second light-emitting device 302; the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the second light-emitting device 302 is less than or equal to the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the third light-emitting device 303.
[0114] For example, the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the third light-emitting device 303 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313. and less than or equal to For example, it can be... or Therefore, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the third light-emitting device 303 is advantageous for transmitting current in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 100, while the resistance is large and current transmission is not easy in the direction parallel to the plane of the substrate 100, which can effectively avoid lateral leakage current. In addition, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the third light-emitting device 303 is not easy to overlap with the isolation structure 200. In other words, even if the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 of the third light-emitting device 303 overlaps with the isolation structure 200, the light-emitting auxiliary layer 313 will break at the overlap point, reducing continuity or the overlap resistance will be high, further reducing the risk of lateral leakage current.
[0115] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 10 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown indicates that the light-emitting device 300 also includes a second carrier transport unit 320, located on the side of the first carrier transport unit 310 away from the substrate 100. Along a direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 100, the thickness of the second carrier transport unit 320 is greater than the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310. This facilitates the acquisition of a multi-order nonlinear microcavity structure.
[0116] Optionally, the thickness of the second carrier transport unit 320 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than the thickness of the second carrier transport unit 320 of the second light-emitting device 302; the first light-emitting device 301 is a red light-emitting device, and the second light-emitting device 302 is a green light-emitting device. Since different light-emitting devices 300 emit light with different wavelengths, the thickness of the second carrier transport unit 320 of different light-emitting devices 300 needs to be matched with the thickness of the first carrier transport unit 310 to obtain a multi-order nonlinear microcavity structure and improve the efficiency of the display panel.
[0117] Optionally, the second carrier transport unit 320 includes an electron transport unit. Exemplarily, along a direction away from the substrate 100, the electron transport unit includes stacked hole blocking layers, electron transport layers, and electron injection layers, etc.
[0118] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 11 The light-emitting device 300 has a second-order nonlinear microcavity structure. Figure 11 In the diagram, the wavy line represents the wave of light emitted by the light-emitting device 300, and the length of the wavy line represents the wavelengths of the two light rays. It can be understood that the essence of the microcavity effect is light interference. When the wavelength satisfies the resonance formula L = mλ / 2ncosθ for a second-order nonlinear microcavity structure, the standing wave condition is met, and the light can be enhanced by microcavity interference. In the formula L = mλ / 2ncosθ, L represents the actual physical length of the microcavity; m represents the resonance order, controlling the density of resonant modes; λ represents the vacuum wavelength, determining the target resonant frequency; n represents the refractive index of the medium, correcting for the speed of light and optical path; and θ represents the incident angle, a key parameter for geometrically correcting the optical path difference.
[0119] Optionally, the light-emitting device 300 further includes a first electrode layer 330, a light-emitting layer 340, and a second electrode layer 350. The first electrode layer 330 is located between the substrate 100 and the isolation structure 200, and at least a portion of the first electrode layer 330 is exposed in the isolation opening 210. The light-emitting layer 340 and the second electrode layer 350 are located in the isolation opening 210, and the second electrode layer 350 is located on the side of the light-emitting layer 340 away from the first carrier transport unit 310. The second carrier transport layer 320 is located between the light-emitting layer 340 and the second electrode layer 350.
[0120] For example, the first electrode layer 330 is the anode and the second electrode layer 350 is the cathode.
[0121] For example, the first electrode layer 330 includes a reflective layer 331, and the distance between the surface of the reflective layer 331 near the second electrode layer 350 and the surface of the second electrode layer 350 away from the first electrode layer 330 is twice the wavelength of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 300. Thus, the light-emitting device 300 has a second-order nonlinear microcavity structure.
[0122] Optionally, the distance between the surface of the first carrier transport unit 310 away from the first electrode layer 330 and the surface of the reflective layer 331 near the second electrode layer 350 is less than or equal to one-quarter of the wavelength of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 300. Therefore, the first carrier transport unit 310 is thinner, which helps to alleviate lateral leakage current in the light-emitting device 300 and facilitates obtaining a light-emitting device 300 with a second-order nonlinear microcavity structure.
[0123] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 12 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the first electrode layer shown shows that, along the direction away from the substrate 100, the first electrode layer 330 includes a first transparent electrode layer 332, a reflective layer 331, and a second transparent electrode layer 333 stacked together.
[0124] Optionally, the reflective layer 331 may comprise a metal; for example, silver.
[0125] Optionally, the first transparent electrode layer 332 and the second transparent electrode layer 333 each independently include a transparent metal conductive oxide, such as tin oxide.
[0126] Optionally, the display panel further includes a pixel defining layer 400 located between the isolation structure 200 and the substrate 100. The pixel defining layer 400 surrounds a plurality of pixel openings 410. The orthographic projection of the pixel openings 410 on the substrate 100 is within the orthographic projection range of the isolation openings 210 on the substrate 100. The first electrode layer 330 is at least partially exposed in the pixel openings 410.
[0127] Optionally, refer to Figure 13 The display panel also includes an encapsulation layer 500, which includes a first encapsulation layer 510. The first encapsulation layer 510 includes a plurality of encapsulation portions 511. The orthographic projection of the encapsulation portions 511 on the substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of the isolation opening 210 on the substrate 100, and a portion of the encapsulation portions 511 fills the isolation opening 210.
[0128] Exemplarily, substrate 100 may be a substrate substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate substrate may be a glass substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate substrate may include organic resin materials such as epoxy resin, triazine, silicone resin, or polyimide. For example, the substrate substrate may be an FR4 type printed circuit board (PCB), or it may be a flexible PCB that is easily deformable. In some embodiments, the substrate substrate may include ceramic materials such as silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, or aluminum oxide, or it may include metals or metal compounds. For example, the substrate substrate may be a metal core PCB (MCPCB) or a metal copper clad laminate (MCCL).
[0129] A second aspect of this application provides a display panel, as shown in [reference]. Figure 1 The display panel includes: a substrate 100, an isolation structure 200, and multiple light-emitting devices 300.
[0130] Optionally, the isolation structure 200 is located on one side of the substrate 100, and the isolation structure 200 surrounds a plurality of isolation openings 210.
[0131] Optionally, the light-emitting device 300 includes a hole transport layer 311 located in the isolation opening 210, and at least a portion of the hole transport layer 311 overlaps with the isolation structure 200; the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 is less than or equal to For example, it can be... or Therefore, the hole transport layer 311 is thinner, making it easier for current in the light-emitting device 300 to flow away from the substrate 100, reducing lateral leakage current in the hole transport layer 311 and improving leakage current. Furthermore, the thinner thickness of the hole transport layer 311 helps reduce the overlap between the hole transport layer 311 and the isolation structure 200, decreasing the continuity of the hole transport layer 311 and increasing the overlap impedance between the hole transport layer 311 and the isolation structure 200, further reducing lateral leakage current and improving leakage current.
[0132] In one embodiment, the plurality of light-emitting devices 300 include a first light-emitting device 301 and a second light-emitting device 302, wherein the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the first light-emitting device 301 is different from the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the second light-emitting device 302.
[0133] Optionally, the first light-emitting device 301 and the second light-emitting device 302 may be of different colors. For example, the first light-emitting device 301 may be a red light-emitting device, and the second light-emitting device 302 may be a green light-emitting device.
[0134] The inventors of this application discovered that, with the same hole transport layer 311 thickness, the lateral leakage of the red light-emitting device is greater than that of the green light-emitting device. Optionally, the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the second light-emitting device 302. This helps to reduce the impedance of the hole transport layer 311 of the first light-emitting device 301 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 100, allowing current to flow more easily away from the substrate 100, reducing lateral leakage of the hole transport layer 311, and improving leakage current. In addition, the thinner hole transport layer 311 of the first light-emitting device 301 helps to reduce the overlap between the hole transport layer 311 and the isolation structure 200, reducing the continuity of the hole transport layer 311, increasing the overlap impedance between the hole transport layer 311 and the isolation structure 200, further reducing lateral leakage current, and improving leakage current.
[0135] In one embodiment, the plurality of light-emitting devices 300 further includes a third light-emitting device 303, the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the third light-emitting device 303 being different from the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the first light-emitting device 301 and different from the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the second light-emitting device 303.
[0136] Optionally, the color of the third light-emitting device 303 is different from the color of the first light-emitting device 301 and also different from the color of the second light-emitting device 302. For example, the first light-emitting device 301 is a red light-emitting device, the second light-emitting device 302 is a green light-emitting device, and the third light-emitting device 303 is a blue light-emitting device.
[0137] Optionally, the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the first light-emitting device 301 is less than the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the second light-emitting device 302, and the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the second light-emitting device 302 is less than the thickness of the hole transport layer 311 of the third light-emitting device 303.
