[0067] FMLOC (Flexible Multi-Layer On Cell) design is currently the mainstream in the field of OLED touch display. FMLOC design refers to making a metal electrode layer on the encapsulation layer of the display substrate. The surface of the metal electrode layer reflects the ambient light significantly. In order to improve the contrast of the display panel and reduce the reflected light, a polarizer is usually set on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting layer so that the display panel looks black when it is not bright. However, the polarizer will cause the light intensity of the display panel to attenuate.

[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to reduce the reflection of ambient light and improve the contrast, a color filter layer 19 is set on the side of the light-emitting layer 16 away from the driving backplane 10 to replace the polarizer. The color filter layer 19 is still set on the side of the encapsulation layer 17 away from the driving backplane 10. The color filter layer 19 includes a black matrix and a filter unit 193, which absorbs most of the ambient light through the black matrix, and the light emitted from the light-emitting unit 162 is directly emitted from the filter unit 193, thereby improving the light output efficiency of the display panel. Compared with the display panel with anti-glare through the polarizer, the display panel in the figure has a power consumption benefit of 25-30%, but the reflectivity will be 0.8-1% higher.

[0069] like Figure 2As shown, in order to reduce the reflection of ambient light and improve the contrast, an optical path regulating layer 21 is provided on the side of the light emitting layer 16 away from the base substrate 11 to replace the polarizer. The optical path regulating layer 21 includes a plurality of low refractive index portions 211 and a high refractive index layer 212. The refractive index of the low refractive index portion 211 is less than the refractive index of the high refractive index layer 212. The plurality of low refractive index portions 211 are arranged at intervals on the side of the encapsulation layer 17 away from the base substrate 11. The high refractive index layer 212 covers the side of the low refractive index portion 211 away from the base substrate 11 and the gaps between adjacent low refractive index portions 211. The emitted light of the light emitting unit 162 is emitted after being totally reflected at the interface between the high refractive index layer 212 and the low refractive index portion 211, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display panel. The display panel in the figure has a power consumption benefit of 5-10% compared to a display panel with anti-glare through a polarizer, but the internal stress of the high refractive index layer 212 is relatively large, and black spots (Growing Dark Spot at HIAA, GDSH) are easily formed at the edge of the hole in the gap between adjacent low refractive index parts 211.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, a color filter layer 19 and an optical path control layer 21 can be sequentially arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 17 away from the base substrate 11 to improve the light extraction efficiency of the display panel. Compared with the display panel with anti-glare through a polarizer, the display panel in the figure has a power consumption benefit of 37%, but the reflectivity is 0.6% higher than the display panel with only the color filter layer 19 in the figure.

[0071] Since the color filter layer 19 and / or the light path regulating layer 21 are arranged on the side of the light emitting layer 16 away from the base substrate 11, the thickness of the display panel is relatively large, which is not conducive to the thinness of the display panel. In addition, in the process of forming the color filter layer 19 and / or the light path regulating layer 21, one or two more mask processes need to be added, so two more mask plates are required, resulting in a large loss of production capacity of the display panel.

[0072] Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel. Figures 4 to 22As shown, the display panel includes a driving backplane 10, a pixel defining layer 15, a plurality of pixel electrodes 161, a plurality of light-emitting units 162 of different colors, a common electrode 163, a first touch electrode layer, a first covering layer 192, a filter layer and a light shielding layer 191, the pixel defining layer 15 is arranged on one side of the driving backplane 10, the pixel defining layer 15 includes a plurality of pixel defining parts, and a pixel opening 151 is formed between the sides of the pixel defining parts close to each other; the plurality of pixel electrodes 161 are respectively arranged in different pixel openings 151; the plurality of light-emitting units 162 of different colors are The pixel electrodes 162 are respectively arranged on a side of each pixel electrode 161 away from the driving backplane 10; the common electrode 163 is arranged on a side of the plurality of light-emitting units 162 away from the driving backplane 10; the first touch electrode layer is arranged on a side of the common electrode 163 away from the driving backplane 10, and the first touch electrode layer includes a plurality of first touch units 1811, and the plurality of first touch units 1811 are arranged at intervals; the first covering layer 192 includes a plurality of first covering portions 1921, and the first covering portions 1921 are arranged on a side of the first touch unit 1811 away from the base substrate 11, and the first A color-resistance opening 1922 is formed between the sides of the covering portions 1921 that are close to each other, and the slope angle of the side surface of the first covering portion 1921 is less than 90 degrees; the filter layer includes filter units 193 of different colors, each filter unit 193 is respectively arranged in a different color-resistance opening 1922, and the filter unit 193 covers the side surface of the first covering portion 1921, and the orthographic projection of the filter unit 193 on the base substrate 11 covers the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit 162 on the base substrate 11, and the refractive index of the filter unit 193 is greater than the refractive index of the first covering portion 1921. The light-shielding layer 191 includes a plurality of light-shielding units 1911. The light-shielding unit 1911 is disposed between the first touch-sensing unit 1811 and the first covering portion 1921, or disposed on a side of the first covering portion 1921 away from the base substrate 11. The light-shielding unit 1911 covers the orthographic projection of the first touch-sensing unit 1811 on the base substrate 11. A light-transmitting opening 1912 is formed between the sides of the light-shielding units 1911 that are close to each other. The orthographic projection of the color-resist opening 1922 on the base substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting opening 1912 on the base substrate 11.

[0073] The first covering portion 1921 is disposed on a side of the first touch unit 1811 away from the base substrate 11. The first covering portion 1921 can be used to insulate the first touch unit 1811. A color resistance opening 1922 is formed between two adjacent first covering portions 1921. The filter units 193 are respectively disposed in different color resistance openings 1922. The filter units 193 cover the side surfaces of the first covering portions 1921. The refractive index of the filter units 193 is greater than the refractive index of the first covering portion 1921. Therefore, the outgoing light of the light-emitting unit 162 at an oblique angle can generate total reflection at the interface between the side surfaces of the first covering portion 1921 and the filter units 193, and the outgoing light at an oblique angle is deflected to be emitted in the direction of a normal angle, thereby improving the light output efficiency of the display panel at a normal angle. Therefore, there is no need to separately set an optical path control layer, thereby reducing the thickness of the display panel, and facilitating the thinning of the display panel.

A protective layer 137 may also be disposed on a side of the first source electrode 135 away from the base substrate 11, and the protective layer 137 covers the first source electrode 135 and the drain electrode 136. The driving circuit layer 13 may further include a planarization layer group 139 . The planarization layer group 139 includes a first planarization layer 1391 . The first planarization layer 1391 is disposed on a side of the protection layer 137 away from the base substrate 11 . The first planarization layer 1391 covers the protection layer 137 .

[0082] The driving circuit layer 13 may further include a second source-drain metal layer, which is disposed on a side of the first planarization layer 1391 away from the base substrate 11. The second source-drain metal layer may include a second source electrode 138, which is connected to the first source electrode 135.

[0084] The pixel electrode 161 is connected to the first source electrode 135 or the second source electrode 138. A pixel defining layer 15 is provided on the side of the pixel electrode 161 away from the base substrate 11. When the thin film transistor only includes the first source electrode 135, the pixel electrode 161 is connected to the first source electrode 135, and the pixel defining layer 15 covers the pixel electrode 161 and the first planarization layer 1391. When the thin film transistor also includes the second source electrode 138, the pixel electrode 161 is connected to the second source electrode 138, and the pixel defining layer 15 covers the pixel electrode 161 and the second planarization layer 1392.

The light-emitting unit 162 can be driven to emit light by applying a signal to the pixel electrode 161. The specific light-emitting principle will not be described in detail here. The light-emitting unit 162 may include an electro-induced organic light-emitting material and may be formed by a process such as evaporation. For example, the light-emitting unit 162 may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light generating layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer sequentially stacked on the pixel electrode 161. It should be noted that the light-emitting unit 162 may include a red light-emitting unit 1621, a green light-emitting unit 1622, and a blue light-emitting unit 1623, depending on the color of the light emitted.

[0086] In addition, the display panel of the present invention may further include an encapsulation layer 17, which is disposed on a side of the light-emitting layer 16 away from the base substrate 11, thereby encapsulating the light-emitting layer 16 to prevent water and oxygen corrosion.

[0087] In this embodiment, the encapsulation layer 17 may include a first inorganic encapsulation layer 171, an organic encapsulation layer 172 and a second inorganic encapsulation layer 173. The first inorganic encapsulation layer 171 is arranged on the side of the light-emitting layer 16 away from the base substrate 11, the organic encapsulation layer 172 is arranged on the side of the first inorganic encapsulation layer 171 away from the base substrate 11, and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 173 is arranged on the side of the organic encapsulation layer 172 away from the base substrate 11.

[0088] like Figure 4As shown, the display panel further includes a touch control layer 18, which may be a mutual capacitive touch control, and may include a first touch electrode layer 181 and a passivation layer 182, wherein the first touch electrode layer 181 is disposed on a side of the encapsulation layer 17 away from the base substrate 11, and the passivation layer 182 is disposed on a side of the first touch electrode layer 181 away from the base substrate 11.

The touch control layer 18 may further include a second touch electrode layer 183 and a touch insulating layer 184, wherein the second touch electrode layer 183 is disposed between the encapsulation layer 17 and the first touch electrode layer 181, and the touch insulating layer 184 is disposed between the second touch electrode layer 183 and the first touch electrode layer 181. The first touch electrode layer 181 may be a metal mesh layer (MM), and the second touch electrode layer 183 may be a bridge metal layer (BM). The first touch electrode layer 181 may also be a bridge metal layer, and the second touch electrode layer 183 may be a metal mesh layer.

[0089] The display panel may further include a light shielding layer 191, the light shielding layer 191 includes a plurality of light shielding units 1911, the light shielding units 1911 are arranged on a side of the passivation layer away from the base substrate 11, the orthographic projection of the light shielding units 1911 on the base substrate 11 covers the orthographic projection of the first touch control unit 1811 on the base substrate 11, that is, the orthographic projection of the first touch control unit 1811 on the base substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the light shielding units 1911 on the base substrate 11, and the orthographic projection area of ​​the first touch control unit 1811 on the base substrate 11 is smaller than the orthographic projection area of ​​the light shielding units 1911 on the base substrate 11. A light-transmitting opening 1912 is formed between the sides of the light shielding units 1911 that are close to each other.

[0090] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the display panel may further include a first covering layer 192, the first covering layer 192 includes a plurality of first covering portions 1921, the first covering portion 1921 is disposed on a side of the light shielding unit 1911 away from the base substrate 11, the first covering portion 1921 covers the light shielding unit 1911, a color resistance opening 1922 is formed between two adjacent first covering portions 1921, and the orthographic projection of the color resistance opening 1922 on the base substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the light transmission opening 1912 on the base substrate 11. In this embodiment, the thickness of the first covering portion 1921 may be 1.5-2.5 μm.

[0091] Because the first covering portion 1921 covers the shading unit 1911, the width and thickness of the shading unit 1911 are relatively large, and thus a step surface is formed on the side of the first covering portion 1921. Specifically, the side of the first covering portion 1921 includes a first inclined surface 1923, a straight surface 1924 and a second inclined surface 1925. The slope angle of the first inclined surface 1923 is 30-50 degrees. The straight surface 1924 is arranged at one end of the first inclined surface 1923 away from the base substrate 11, and the straight surface 1924 is parallel to the surface of the base substrate 11. The second inclined surface 1925 is arranged at one end of the straight surface 1924 away from the first inclined surface 1923, and the slope angle of the second inclined surface 1925 is 45-75 degrees.

[0092] The display panel also includes a filter layer, which includes filter units 193 of different colors. The filter units 193 of different colors include a red filter unit 1931, a green filter unit 1932 and a blue filter unit 1933. The orthographic projection of the red filter unit 1931 on the base substrate 11 covers the orthographic projection of the red light-emitting unit 1621 on the base substrate 11, the orthographic projection of the green filter unit 1932 on the base substrate 11 covers the orthographic projection of the green light-emitting unit 1622 on the base substrate 11, and the orthographic projection of the blue filter unit 1933 on the base substrate 11 covers the orthographic projection of the blue light-emitting unit 1623 on the base substrate 11.

[0093] The first covering portion 1921 is made of a resin material with a low refractive index of 1.45-1.5, the refractive index of the red filter unit can generally be 1.65-1.85, and the refractive index of the green filter unit and the refractive index of the blue filter unit can generally be 1.55-1.7. In this embodiment, the refractive index of the red filter unit 1931 is 1.7, the refractive index of the green filter unit 1932 and the blue filter unit 1933 is 1.6, and the refractive index of the filter units 193 of the three colors is higher than the refractive index of the first covering portion 1921, so the outgoing light of the oblique angle can be totally reflected on the side of the first covering portion 1921, deflected to the direction of the normal angle, and the light output efficiency of the normal angle is improved. Among them, the outgoing light with a smaller outgoing angle can be totally reflected at the interface between the first inclined surface 1923 and the filter unit 193, and the outgoing light with a larger outgoing angle can be totally reflected at the interface between the second inclined surface 1925 and the filter unit 193.

[0094] The display panel may further include a second covering layer 20 , which covers the side of the filter unit 193 and the light shielding unit 1911 away from the base substrate 11 , and a gap formed between the filter unit 193 and the light shielding unit 1911 .

[0095] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5The difference is that the first covering portion 1921 is arranged on the side of the first touch unit 1811 away from the base substrate 11, and the first covering portion 1921 covers the first touch unit 1811. Because the width and thickness of the first touch unit 1811 are small, the side of the first covering portion 1921 is an inclined surface, and the slope angle of the side of the first covering layer 192 is 55-85 degrees. The distance between the edge of the first covering portion 1921 close to the base substrate 11 and the edge of the pixel definition portion close to the base substrate 11 is 0.5-2μm.

[0096] The filter unit 193 is arranged in the color resistance opening 1922 formed by two adjacent first covering parts 1921. The thickness of the filter unit 193 is greater than the thickness of the first covering part 1921. The filter unit 193 covers the side of the first covering part 1921 and the shading unit 1911 is arranged in a partial area on the side of the first covering part 1921 away from the base substrate 11. The part of the first covering part 1921 that is not overlapped with the filter unit 193 is an exposed area. The shading unit 1911 is arranged in the exposed area. The thickness of the shading unit 1911 can be 1-2μm. The orthographic projection of the filter unit 193 on the base substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting opening 1912 on the base substrate 11. The distance between the edge of the filter unit 193 and the edge of the first covering part 1921 away from the base substrate 11 is 1-3μm. The distance between the light shielding unit 1911 and the light filtering unit 193 is greater than 0. In the present embodiment, the distance between the light shielding unit 1911 and the light filtering unit 193 is preferably 1-2 μm.

[0097] Compared to Figure 5 The display panel in the first place, Figure 6 The display panel in the embodiment uses the first covering portion 1921 to insulate the first touch unit 1811, eliminating the passivation layer, and further reducing the thickness of the display panel. In addition, during the production process of the display panel, a mask plate for making the passivation layer is reduced, which reduces the production cost of the display panel. Compared with the method of replacing the polarizer with a color film, there is no loss of production capacity. Secondly, the shape of the first covering portion 1921 is a trapezoid, and its side is a conventional inclined plane, and the slope angle is easier to control.

[0098] Furthermore, Figure 6 The depth of the middle color resistance opening 1922 is less than Figure 5 The depth of the color-resistance opening 1922 in the display device 190 is determined by the thickness of the first covering portion 1921, and the light filtering unit 193 is spaced apart from the light-shielding unit 1911. The thickness of the light filtering unit 193 is only affected by the thickness of the first covering portion 1921 and is not limited by the thickness of the light-shielding unit 1911. Therefore, the thickness of the light filtering unit 193 is less restricted, which is more conducive to flexibly adjusting the light output efficiency and dark-state hue of the display panel.

[0099] Because the center of the filter unit 193 and the center of the light-emitting unit 162 are located on the same straight line, the distances between the edges of the filter units 193 of different colors away from the substrate substrate 11 and the edges of the light-emitting units 162 of different colors close to the substrate substrate 11 are equal, and the distance between the edge of the red filter unit 1931 away from the substrate substrate 11 and the edge of the red light-emitting unit 1621 close to the substrate substrate 11 is defined as the first total distance, the distance between the edge of the green filter unit 1932 away from the substrate substrate 11 and the edge of the green light-emitting unit 1622 close to the substrate substrate 11 is defined as the second total distance, and the distance between the edge of the blue filter unit 1933 away from the substrate substrate 11 and the edge of the blue light-emitting unit 1623 close to the substrate substrate 11 is defined as the third total distance, and the first total distance, the second total distance and the third total distance are equal.

[0100] The distance between the edge of the red filter unit 1931 close to the substrate 11 and the edge of the red light-emitting unit 1621 close to the substrate 11 is the first outward expansion distance a1, the distance between the edge of the green filter unit 1932 close to the substrate 11 and the edge of the green light-emitting unit 1622 close to the substrate 11 is the second outward expansion distance a2, and the distance between the edge of the blue filter unit 1933 close to the substrate 11 and the edge of the blue light-emitting unit 1623 close to the substrate 11 is the third outward expansion distance a3. The distance between the edge of the red filter unit 1931 close to the substrate 11 and the edge of the red filter unit 1931 away from the substrate 11 is the first extension distance b1, the distance between the edge of the green filter unit 1932 close to the substrate 11 and the edge of the green filter unit 1932 away from the substrate 11 is the second extension distance b2, and the distance between the edge of the blue filter unit 1933 close to the substrate 11 and the edge of the blue filter unit 1933 away from the substrate 11 is the third extension distance b3. The first total distance is equal to the sum of the first outward extension distance a1 and the first extension distance b1, the second total distance is equal to the sum of the second outward extension distance a2 and the second extension distance b2, and the third total distance is equal to the sum of the third outward extension distance a3 and the third extension distance b3.

[0101] like Figure 7 As shown, compared Figure 6In the display panel, since the refractive indexes of different filter units 193 are different, in order to balance the light extraction efficiency of the red filter unit 1931, the green filter unit 1932 and the blue filter unit 1933, the first expansion distance a1, the second expansion distance a2 and the third expansion distance a3 are adjusted. The larger the refractive index of the filter unit 193, the larger the expansion distance of the edge of the filter unit 193 close to the base substrate 11 relative to the edge of the light emitting unit 162 close to the base substrate 11. Since the refractive index of the red filter unit 1931 is greater than the refractive index of the green filter unit 1932 and the refractive index of the blue filter unit 1933, the first expansion distance is greater than the second expansion distance a2 and the third expansion distance a3.

[0102] The color-resist opening 1922 of the red filter unit 1931 is defined as a first color-resist opening 1922, the color-resist opening 1922 of the green filter unit 1932 is defined as a second color-resist opening 1922, and the color-resist opening 1922 of the blue filter unit 1933 is defined as a third color-resist opening 1922. The width of the orthographic projection of the side surface of the first color-resist opening 1922 on the base substrate 11 is defined as a first covering distance, the width of the orthographic projection of the side surface of the second color-resist opening 1922 on the base substrate 11 is defined as a second covering distance, and the width of the orthographic projection of the side surface of the third color-resist opening 1922 on the base substrate 11 is defined as a third covering distance. The width of the red filter unit 1931 covering the side of the first covering portion 1921 away from the base substrate 11 is defined as the first overlap distance c1, the width of the green filter unit 1932 covering the side of the first covering portion 1921 away from the base substrate 11 is defined as the second overlap distance c2, and the width of the blue filter unit 1933 covering the side of the first covering portion 1921 away from the base substrate 11 is defined as the third overlap distance c3.

[0103] According to the refractive index of the different filter units 193 above, the first outward expansion distance a1 is 1-3μm, the second outward expansion distance a2 is 0-2μm, the third outward expansion distance a3 is 0-2μm, the first extension distance b1, the second extension distance b2, and the third extension distance b3 are 1.5-5μm, the first overlap distance c1, the second overlap distance c2, and the third overlap distance c3 are 0-3.5μm, the distance d1 between the red filter unit 1931 and the adjacent shading unit 1911, the distance d2 between the green filter unit 1932 and the adjacent shading unit 1911, and the distance between the blue filter unit 1933 and the adjacent shading unit d3 are 0-3μm. In this embodiment, the first outward expansion distance a1 is 1.5 μm, the second outward expansion distance a2 is 0.5 μm, the third outward expansion distance a3 is 0.5 μm, the first extension distance b1 is 3 μm, the second extension distance b2 is 4 μm, and the third extension distance b3 is 4 μm. The first covering distance, the second covering distance and the third covering distance are equal, the first covering distance is 1.5 μm, the second covering distance is 1.5 μm, and the third covering distance is 1.5 μm. The first overlap distance c1 can be 1.5 μm, the second overlap distance c2 can be 2.5 μm, and the third overlap distance c3 can be 2.5 μm. The distance d1 between the red filter unit 1931 and the adjacent shading unit 1911 is 1 μm, the distance d2 between the green filter unit 1932 and the adjacent shading unit 1911 is 1 μm, and the distance between the blue filter unit 1933 and the adjacent shading unit d3 is 1 μm.

[0104] In other feasible embodiments, the refractive index of the red filter unit 1931, the refractive index of the green light emitting unit 1622, and the refractive index of the blue light emitting unit 1623 may be set to be the same. When the refractive index of the red filter unit 1931, the refractive index of the green light emitting unit 1622, and the refractive index of the blue light emitting unit 1623 are the same, the first expansion distance a1, the second expansion distance a2, and the third expansion distance are equal, that is, the ratio of the first expansion distance a1, the second expansion distance a2, and the third expansion distance a3 is 1:1:1.

[0105] like Figure 8 As shown, compared to Figure 6In the display panel, the filter unit 193 extends from the side of the first covering portion 1921 to the side of the first covering portion 1921 away from the base substrate 11, and two adjacent filter units 193 are connected to each other, the red filter unit 1931 is connected to the green filter unit 1932, the green filter unit 1932 is connected to the blue filter unit 1933, and the sides of the red filter unit 1931, the green filter unit 1932 and the blue filter unit 1933 away from the base substrate 11 are located in the same horizontal plane. The shading unit 1911 is provided on the side of the filter unit 193 away from the base substrate 11, at the connection between the two filter units 193, and the orthographic projection of the shading unit 1911 on the base substrate 11 overlaps with the orthographic projections of the filter units 193 of different colors on the base substrate 11. Figure 8 When the display panel is manufactured, the process accuracy requirement of the filter unit 193 is relatively low.

[0106] like Fig. 9 As shown, compared to Figure 6 In the display panel, the filter unit 193 extends from the side of the first covering portion 1921 to the side of the first covering portion 1921 away from the base substrate 11, and extends to the side of the shading unit 1911 away from the base substrate 11. The side of the red filter unit 1931 away from the base substrate 11, the side of the green filter unit 1932 away from the base substrate 11, and the side of the blue filter unit 1933 away from the base substrate 11 can be located in the same plane, or the thickness of the red filter unit 1931, the green filter unit 1932 and the blue filter unit 1933 can be set to be different, that is, the side of the red filter unit 1931 away from the base substrate 11, the side of the green filter unit 1932 away from the base substrate 11, and the side of the blue filter unit 1933 away from the base substrate 11 are located in different planes.

[0107] Relative to Figure 6 For the display panel, there is no need to consider the width ratio of the shading unit 1911 and the adjacent two different color filter units 193 on the first covering portion 1921. It is only necessary to set the adjacent different color filter units 193 at intervals. Therefore, the process precision required for the filter unit 193 and the shading unit 1911 is relatively low.

[0108] like Fig.10As shown, the first covering portion 1921 includes a first covering unit 1926, a second covering unit 1927 and a third covering unit 1928 which are arranged at intervals. The first covering unit 1926 is arranged between the second covering unit 1927 and the third covering unit 1928. The slope angles of the sides of the first covering unit 1926, the second covering unit 1927 and the third covering unit 1928 are less than 90 degrees. The first covering unit 1926 covers the first touch unit 1811.

[0113] It should be noted that, in order to simplify the drawings, Figure 4 outside, Figures 5 to 11 The second touch electrode layer 183 and the touch insulating layer 184 are omitted. Figures 6 to 11 The first covering layer 192 is reused as the passivation layer 182 , and the first covering layer 192 plays the same role as the passivation layer 182 , so there is no need to set up the passivation layer 182 additionally.

It should be noted that the circle is only an exemplary description of the shape of the pixel opening 151, the shape of the color resist opening 1922, the shape of the light-transmitting opening 1912 and the shape of the filter unit 193, and it can also be set to other shapes as needed, which is not specifically limited here.

[0116] Fig.18 For Figure 6 and Figure 7 The schematic plan view of the stacked layers of the display panel shown in FIG. Fig.17 For Figure 6 and Figure 7 The plane diagram of the filter layer of the display panel is shown in FIG. Figure 12 to Figure 14 The shapes of the pixel opening 151, the color-resist opening 1922, the light-transmitting opening 1912 and the filter unit 193 are similar.

Fig.21 For Fig.10 The schematic plan view of the first covering layer of the display panel is shown in FIG. Fig.12 , Fig.13 and Fig.15The shapes of the pixel opening 151, the color-resistance opening 1922, the light-transmitting opening 1912 and the filter unit 193 are similar.
