Detailed Implementation

[0065] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0066] Figure 1 This is a top view of the display panel in one or more embodiments of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Please refer to the partial structural diagram of the display panel along the A-A' section line. Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to a first aspect of this application, a display panel is provided, which includes a substrate 10, a first insulating layer 20, a first electrode layer 30, a light-emitting layer 40, and a second electrode layer 50.

[0067] The substrate 10 has a plurality of mutually spaced pixel regions 11 and an isolation region 12 located between two adjacent pixel regions 11. The first insulating layer 20 includes a first insulating structure 21 located in each pixel region 11. The angle between the side surface of the first insulating structure 21 and the first bottom surface is an acute angle, and the first bottom surface is the surface of the first insulating structure 21 away from the substrate 10.

[0068] The first electrode layer 30 includes a first electrode 31 and an auxiliary electrode 32 located in each pixel region 11 and spaced apart from each other. The first electrode 31 covers a portion of the first bottom surface. The auxiliary electrode 32 covers at least a portion of the first bottom surface and the side surface of the first insulating structure 21. The light-emitting layer 40 is located on the side of the first electrode layer 30 away from the substrate 10. The second electrode layer 50 is located on the side of the light-emitting layer 40 away from the substrate 10. The first electrode 31, the light-emitting layer 40, and the second electrode layer 50 of each pixel region 11 form a light-emitting structure.

[0069] For example, the light-emitting layer 40 may be disconnected at the edge of the first bottom surface. The light-emitting layer 40 is connected to the first electrode 31 and the auxiliary electrode 32 of the same pixel area 11, respectively.

[0070] The second electrode layer 50 can be continuously disposed on the side of the light-emitting layer 40 away from the substrate 10 and on the side of the auxiliary electrode 32 away from the first insulating structure 21. The second electrode layer 50 is connected to the light-emitting layer 40 and the auxiliary electrode 32 in the same pixel area 11, respectively.

[0071] The aforementioned display panel includes a substrate 10, a first insulating layer 20, a first electrode layer 30, a light-emitting layer 40, and a second electrode layer 50. The substrate 10 has a plurality of mutually spaced pixel regions 11 and an isolation region 12 located between two adjacent pixel regions 11. The first electrode layer 30 includes a first electrode 31 and an auxiliary electrode 32 located in each pixel region 11 and spaced apart from each other. The light-emitting layer 40 is located on the side of the first electrode layer 30 away from the substrate 10 and is respectively connected to the first electrode 31 and the auxiliary electrode 32 of the same pixel region 11. The second electrode layer 50 is continuously disposed on the side of the light-emitting layer 40 and the auxiliary electrode 32 away from the substrate 10 and is respectively connected to the light-emitting layer 40 and the auxiliary electrode 32 of the same pixel region 11, so that the first electrode 31, the light-emitting layer 40, and the second electrode layer 50 of each pixel region 11 form a light-emitting structure.

[0072] OLED display panels have high pixel density, and functional layers such as the organic light-emitting layer are typically fabricated using FMM (Fine Metal Mask) through methods such as vapor deposition. However, FMM is insufficient to meet the ever-increasing demands of screens. The first insulating layer 20 in this application includes first insulating structures 21 located in each pixel region 11. The angle between the side surface and the first bottom surface of the first insulating structure 21 is acute. The first bottom surface is the surface of the first insulating structure 21 away from the substrate 10. This allows the light-emitting layer 40 to automatically break at the edge of the first bottom surface, replacing FMM to pattern the light-emitting layer 40. This overcomes the limitations of FMM in terms of technology, supply, and processes, achieving higher precision pixel patterns, reducing the implementation cost of OLED display panels, and avoiding pixel crosstalk and other problems that occur with FMM, thus improving the display effect of OLED display panels and adapting to the ever-increasing screen demands of the market. Furthermore, the first insulating structures 21 form isolation trenches, and the light-emitting layer 40 breaks at these trenches, isolating moisture failure paths and achieving sub-pixel encapsulation.

[0073] In addition, the auxiliary electrode 32 covers at least a portion of the first bottom surface and the side of the first insulating structure 21. The second electrode layer 50 is continuously disposed on the side of the auxiliary electrode 32 away from the first insulating structure 21. Both the first electrode layer 30 and the second electrode layer 50 can be continuously disposed at the edge of the first bottom surface, which is beneficial for the cathode to be connected to the VSS (Voltage Source and Sink) at the isolation trench, reducing the voltage drop of the VSS trace, thereby reducing display power consumption, improving display uniformity, and enabling a narrow bezel design.

[0074] For example, the side surface of the first insulating structure 21 is the surface of the first insulating structure 21 facing the isolation region 12. An isolation groove is formed between two adjacent first insulating structures 21, and the side surface of the first insulating structure 21 is also the inner wall surface of the isolation groove.

[0075] The side surface of the first insulating structure 21 can be directly connected to the first bottom surface, or they can be connected through a connecting surface. The connecting surface can be a plane or a curved surface, such as... Figure 2 The arc surface shown is advantageous for the auxiliary electrode 32 and the second electrode layer 50 to be continuously disposed at the edge of the first bottom surface.

[0076] For example, the angle between the side surface and the first bottom surface of the first insulating structure 21 in different pixel areas can be different. For instance, the pixel area 11 where the red light-emitting layer 40 is located is a red pixel area, the pixel area 11 where the green light-emitting layer 40 is located is a green pixel area, and the pixel area 11 where the blue light-emitting layer 40 is located is a blue pixel area. The angle between the side surface and the first bottom surface of the first insulating structure 21 in the blue pixel area can be smaller than the angle between the side surface and the first bottom surface of the first insulating structure 21 in the green pixel area, and it can also be smaller than the angle between the side surface and the first bottom surface of the first insulating structure 21 in the red pixel area. The blue pixel area has a higher operating voltage and is more prone to lateral leakage. The large angle between the side surface and the first bottom surface of the first insulating structure 21 in the blue pixel area can ensure that the blue light-emitting layer 40 is effectively isolated at the edge of the first bottom surface.

[0077] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 Multiple pixel areas 11 can be arranged in an array, and the isolation areas 12 between two adjacent rows of pixel areas 11 and between two adjacent columns of pixel areas 11 are crisscrossed in a grid pattern.

[0078] For example, the light-emitting layer 30 of each pixel area 11 can be a light-emitting layer 30 of the same color or a light-emitting layer 30 of different colors.

[0079] The pixel areas 11 containing different colored light-emitting layers 30 can have the same or different shapes. For example, the pixel area 11 containing the red light-emitting layer 40 is a red pixel area, the pixel area 11 containing the green light-emitting layer 40 is a green pixel area, and the pixel area 11 containing the blue light-emitting layer 40 is a blue pixel area. The shapes of the red and blue pixel areas can be squares, while the shape of the green pixel area can be a rectangle.

[0080] The pixel areas 11 containing different colored emissive layers 30 can be the same or different. For example, the pixel area 11 containing the red emissive layer 40 is the red pixel area, the pixel area 11 containing the green emissive layer 40 is the green pixel area, and the pixel area 11 containing the blue emissive layer 40 is the blue pixel area. The area of ​​the blue pixel area can be larger than the area of ​​the red pixel area or the area of ​​the green pixel area. The human eye has lower sensitivity to blue, so a larger blue pixel area and a larger emissive area for blue pixels is beneficial for visual color balance. Furthermore, the lifespan of the emissive material in blue pixels is shorter, and a larger blue pixel area also helps to extend the lifespan of the display panel.

[0081] In some embodiments, the spacing between the first insulating structures 21 of two adjacent pixel regions 11, i.e., the width of the isolation trench, is related to the spacing between the first electrodes 31 of the two adjacent pixel regions 11. A smaller width for the isolation trench than the spacing between the first electrodes 31 of the two adjacent pixel regions 11 facilitates isolation between the first electrodes 31 of the two pixel regions 11. For example, if the spacing between the first electrodes 31 of the two adjacent pixel regions 11 is 10μm to 15μm, such as 10μm, 11μm, 12μm, 13μm, 14μm, 15μm, etc., then the width of the isolation trench can be 5μm to 10μm, such as 5μm, 6μm, 7μm, 8μm, 9μm, 10μm, etc.

[0082] For example, in the direction away from the isolation region 12, the length of the first electrode 31 can be 30μm to 35μm, such as 30μm, 31μm, 32μm, 33μm, 34μm, 35μm, etc. The ratio of the length of the first electrode 31 to the width of the isolation groove can be 3:1 to 4:1, such as 3:1, 16:5, 4:1, etc., which is beneficial for isolation between the first electrodes 31 of the two pixel regions 11.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first insulating layer 20 can be a negative photoresist layer. By using negative photoresist to form the first insulating structure 21, it is advantageous that the angle between the side surface and the first bottom surface of the first insulating structure 21 is an acute angle, and the first bottom surface is the surface of the first insulating structure 21 away from the substrate 10.

[0084] For example, the angle between the side surface and the first bottom surface of the first insulating structure 21 can be 30° to 80°, such as 30°, 40°, 50°, 51°, 52°, 53°, 54°, 55°, 56°, 57°, 58°, 59°, 60°, 70°, 80°, etc. When the first insulating layer 20 is a negative photoresist layer, the first insulating layer 20 is photolithographically ...

[0085] For example, in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, the thickness of the first insulating layer 20 can be 1.3μm to 1.5μm, such as 1.3μm, 1.35μm, 1.4μm, 1.45μm, 1.5μm, etc., which is beneficial for the light-emitting layer 40 to be broken at the edge of the first bottom surface.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first electrode layer 30 may include a first sublayer, a second sublayer, and a third sublayer stacked sequentially along a direction away from the substrate 10, wherein the first sublayer and the third sublayer are made of the same material, and the second sublayer and the third sublayer are made of different materials.

[0087] For example, the materials of the first and third sublayers can be ITO (Indium Tin Oxide), and the material of the second sublayer can be Ag.

[0088] For example, in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, the thickness of the first sublayer can be less than the thickness of the third sublayer, and the thickness of the second sublayer can be greater than the thickness of the third sublayer.

[0089] In the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, the thickness of the first sublayer can be 25 angstroms to 35 angstroms, such as 25 angstroms, 26 angstroms, 27 angstroms, 28 angstroms, 29 angstroms, 30 angstroms, 31 angstroms, 32 angstroms, 33 angstroms, 34 angstroms, 35 angstroms, etc.

[0090] In the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, the thickness of the second sublayer can be 800 angstroms to 900 angstroms, such as 800 angstroms, 810 angstroms, 820 angstroms, 830 angstroms, 840 angstroms, 850 angstroms, 860 angstroms, 870 angstroms, 880 angstroms, 890 angstroms, 900 angstroms, etc.

[0091] In the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, the thickness of the third sublayer can be 60 angstroms to 80 angstroms, such as 60 angstroms, 65 angstroms, 70 angstroms, 75 angstroms, 80 angstroms, etc.

[0092] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2The display panel may further include a metal layer 60, which is located between the first insulating layer 20 and the substrate 10. The metal layer 60 includes a transition portion 61 located in each pixel region 11. The first insulating structure 21 of each pixel region 11 has a first through hole 210. The first electrode 31 of each pixel region 11 is connected to the transition portion 61 of the same pixel region 11 through the first through hole 210 of the same pixel region 11.

[0093] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The display panel may further include a driving circuit layer and a second insulating layer 72. The driving circuit layer is located between the metal layer 60 and the substrate 10, and includes driving circuits 71 for each pixel region 11. The second insulating layer 72 is located between the driving circuit layer and the metal layer 60. The second insulating layer 72 has second through holes 720 located in each pixel region 11, and the transition portion 61 of each pixel region 11 is connected to the driving circuit 71 of the same pixel region 11 through the second through hole 720 of the same pixel region 11.

[0094] For example, the orthographic projection of the adapter 61 on the substrate 10 can be a subset of the orthographic projection of the first insulating structure 21 of the same pixel area 11 on the substrate 10. The orthographic projection of the first connecting hole 210 on the substrate 10 does not intersect with the orthographic projection of the isolation groove on the substrate 10.

[0095] For example, the orthographic projection of the adapter 61 on the substrate 10 may overlap with the orthographic projection of the first electrode 31 on the substrate 10 in the same pixel area 11. The orthographic projection of the first connecting hole 210 on the substrate 10 may be a subset of the overlapping area of ​​the adapter 61 and the orthographic projection of the first electrode 31 on the substrate 10 in the same pixel area 11.

[0096] The orthographic projection of the adapter 61 onto the substrate 10 can overlap with the orthographic projection of the driving circuit 71 in the same pixel area 11 onto the substrate 10. The orthographic projection of the second connecting hole 720 onto the substrate 10 can be a subset of the overlapping area of ​​the orthographic projections of the adapter 61 and the driving circuit 71 in the same pixel area 11 onto the substrate 10.

[0097] For example, the angle between the sidewall of the first connecting hole 210 and the first bottom surface can be the same as the angle between the side surface of the first insulating structure 21 and the first bottom surface. That is, the angle between the sidewall of the first connecting hole 210 and the first bottom surface is an acute angle. The angle between the sidewall of the first connecting hole 210 and the first bottom surface can be 50° to 60°, such as 50°, 51°, 52°, 53°, 54°, 55°, 56°, 57°, 58°, 59°, 60°, etc. Here, the opening width of the first connecting hole 210 on the side away from the substrate 10 is smaller than the opening width on the side closer to the substrate 10, which is beneficial to increasing the contact area between the first electrode 31 and the transition portion 61 in the first connecting hole 210 and reducing the contact resistance.

[0098] For example, the orthographic projection of the first connecting hole 210 onto the substrate 10 can be a rectangle. The length of the rectangle can be 3μm to 5μm, such as 3μm, 3.5μm, 4μm, 4.5μm, 5μm, etc. The width of the rectangle can be 2μm to 4μm, such as 2μm, 2.5μm, 3μm, 3.5μm, 4μm, etc. The ratio of the width of the rectangle to the width of the isolation trench can be 1:3 to 1:2, such as 1:3, 3:7, 1:2, etc., which is beneficial for isolation between the first electrodes 31 of the two pixel regions 11.

[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The metal layer 60 may further include conductive portions 62 located in the isolation region 12 and the pixel region 11. The conductive portions 62 are spaced apart from the transition portions 61, and the auxiliary electrode 32 is connected to the conductive portions 62. The second electrode layer 50 is connected to the conductive portions 62 through the auxiliary electrode 32, so that the cathode is connected to the VSS at the isolation trench. Compared with the cathode being connected to the VSS at the edge of the display panel, this can effectively reduce the VSS trace voltage drop, thereby reducing display power consumption and improving display uniformity. Moreover, the VSS traces at the edge of the display panel can be reduced or even eliminated, reducing the space occupied at the edge of the display panel and achieving a narrow bezel.

[0100] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The conductive portion 62 may be partially located between the second bottom surface of the first insulating structure 21 and the substrate 10, where the second bottom surface is the surface of the first insulating structure 21 closest to the substrate 10. The partial sandwiching of the conductive portion 62 between the first insulating structure 21 and the substrate 10 ensures that it can be connected to the conductive portion 62 via the auxiliary electrode 32. This allows the second electrode layer 50 to be connected to the conductive portion 62 via the auxiliary electrode 32, reducing display power consumption and enabling a narrow bezel design.

[0101] For example, please refer to Figure 2The auxiliary electrode 32 may include a first part, a second part, and a third part connected in sequence. The first part covers a portion of the first bottom surface, the second part covers the side of the first insulating structure 21, and the third part covers a portion of the conductive part 62 away from the substrate 10. By covering the conductive part 62 with the auxiliary electrode 32, the contact area between the auxiliary electrode 32 and the conductive part 62 can be increased, ensuring that the auxiliary electrode 32 can be connected to the conductive part 62. This allows the second electrode layer 50 to be connected to the conductive part 62 through the auxiliary electrode 32, reducing display power consumption and enabling a narrow bezel design.

[0102] For example, the orthographic projection of the third portion of the auxiliary electrode 32 onto the substrate 10 can be an annular shape, such as a square ring.

[0103] For example, please refer to Figure 2 In the direction near the isolation region 12, the width W of the third part of the auxiliary electrode 32 can be 1μm to 3μm, such as 1μm, 1.5μm, 2μm, 2.5μm, 3μm, etc.

[0104] For example, in the direction near the isolation region 12, the width of the third portion of the auxiliary electrode 32 can be 10% to 30% of the width of the conductive portion 62, such as 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, etc. The width of the conductive portion 62 can be 8μm to 12μm, such as 8μm, 9μm, 10μm, 11μm, 12μm, etc.

[0105] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The first electrode layer 30, the light-emitting layer 40, and the second electrode layer 50 can all be disconnected at the edge of the pixel area 11.

[0106] In some embodiments, the display panel may include a red light-emitting layer 40, a green light-emitting layer 40, and a blue light-emitting layer 40. The pixel area 11 where the red light-emitting layer 40 is located is the red pixel area, the pixel area 11 where the green light-emitting layer 40 is located is the green pixel area, and the pixel area 11 where the blue light-emitting layer 40 is located is the blue pixel area.

[0107] For example, the conductive parts 62 in the red pixel area can be connected to each other, the conductive parts 62 in the green pixel area can be connected to each other, and the conductive parts 62 in the blue pixel area can be connected to each other.

[0108] Figure 3 For a schematic diagram of the connection method of the conductive parts of the display panel in another embodiment of this application, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3In one possible embodiment, the conductive portions 62 of the red pixel area, the green pixel area, and the blue pixel area may not be connected to each other. The conductive portions 62 of the same type of pixel area 11 are connected to each other, while the conductive portions 62 of different pixel areas 11 are designed separately. This allows the VSS of different color sub-pixels to be designed independently, which helps to reduce display power consumption and improve display quality.

[0109] In another possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The conductive parts 62 in the red pixel area, the green pixel area, and the blue pixel area can be interconnected. In this way, the conductive parts 62 in different pixel areas 11 can be wired on the same layer, connecting the VSS of the pixel areas 11 where the light-emitting layers 40 of different colors are located together. This not only reduces power consumption but also saves on mask costs.

[0110] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The isolation region 12 can be located within the orthogonal projection of the conductive portion 62 onto the substrate 10.

[0111] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The substrate 10 has a display area 13 and a border area 14 that at least partially surrounds the display area 13, and a pixel area 11 and an isolation area 12 are located in the display area 13.

[0112] Figure 4 For a partial structural diagram of the display panel in another embodiment of this application, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 Exemplarily, the display panel may further include a dike 81, a first inorganic encapsulation layer 82, an organic encapsulation layer 83, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer 84. The dike 81 is located in the border area 14. The first inorganic encapsulation layer 82 is located on the side of the dike 81 and the second electrode layer 50 away from the substrate 10, and is continuously disposed in the display area 13 and the border area 14. The organic encapsulation layer 83 is located on the side of the first inorganic encapsulation layer 82 away from the substrate 10, and is interrupted at the side of the dike 81 facing the second electrode layer 50. The second inorganic encapsulation layer 84 is located on the side of the organic encapsulation layer 83 and the first inorganic encapsulation layer 82 away from the substrate 10, and is continuously disposed in the display area 13 and the border area 14.

[0113] In the above embodiment, the organic encapsulation layer 83 is broken at the side of the dike 81 facing the second electrode layer 50. The first inorganic encapsulation layer 82 below the organic encapsulation layer 83 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 84 above the organic encapsulation layer 83 both cross the dike 81 and are continuously arranged in the display area 13 and the frame area 14, which is beneficial for isolating water vapor.

[0114] For example, please refer to Figure 4The display panel may also include at least two dikes 81, which are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the display area 11.

[0115] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The display panel may further include a pixel definition layer 91, which is located between the first electrode layer 30 and the light-emitting layer 40. The pixel definition layer 91 has an opening 910 exposing the first electrode 31, and the angle between the sidewall of the opening 910 and the surface of the first electrode 21 is an obtuse angle. The light-emitting layer 40 is continuously disposed inside and outside the opening 910 and is connected to the first electrode 31 through the opening 910.

[0116] For example, the sidewall of the opening 910 is the side of the pixel definition layer 91 facing the opening 910.

[0117] For example, the orthographic projection of the opening 910 on the substrate 10 can be a subset of the orthographic projection of the first electrode 31 on the substrate 10, or it can be non-intersecting with the orthographic projection of the first connecting hole 210 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the isolation trench on the substrate 10.

[0118] For example, the orthographic projection of the opening 910 onto the substrate 10 can be square. The side length of the square can be 25μm to 30μm, such as 25μm, 26μm, 27μm, 28μm, 29μm, 30μm, etc. The ratio of the side length of the square to the width of the isolation groove can be 3:1 to 5:1, such as 3:1, 7:2, 4:1, 9:2, 5:1, etc. The ratio of the side lengths of the orthographic projections of the opening 910 and the first connecting hole 210 onto the substrate 10 can be 7:1 to 10:1, such as 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 28:3, 10:1, etc. The ratio of the side lengths of the orthographic projections of the opening 910 and the first electrode 31 onto the substrate 10 can be 5:6 to 9:10, such as 5:6, 6:7, 7:8, 8:9, 9:10, etc.

[0119] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The display panel may also include a pixel encapsulation layer 92, which covers the side of the second electrode layer 50 away from the substrate 10.

[0120] A second aspect of this application provides a display device, which includes a display panel as provided in any of the above embodiments.

[0121] Figure 5 For a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a display panel in one or more embodiments of this application, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5According to a third aspect of this application, a method for manufacturing a display panel is provided, the method comprising the following steps S101 to S105.

[0122] Step S101: Provide a substrate having a plurality of mutually spaced pixel regions and an isolation region located between two adjacent pixel regions.

[0123] Step S102: A first insulating layer is formed on the substrate. The first insulating layer includes a first insulating structure located in each pixel area. The angle between the side surface of the first insulating structure and the first bottom surface is an acute angle. The first bottom surface is the surface of the first insulating structure away from the substrate.

[0124] Step S103: A first electrode layer is formed on the first insulating layer. The first electrode layer includes a first electrode and an auxiliary electrode located in each pixel area and spaced apart from each other. The first electrode covers a portion of the first bottom surface, and the auxiliary electrode covers at least a portion of the first bottom surface and the side surface of the first insulating structure.

[0125] For example, the first electrode layer can be formed using magnetron sputtering technology. Magnetron sputtering is a collision process between incident particles and the target material. After the target atoms gain sufficient energy, they leave the target material and form a coating by impacting the target material. The coating has the advantages of large thickness and good ductility. It can be continuously set at the edge of the first bottom surface, or the first electrode and the auxiliary electrode can be set at intervals.

[0126] Step S104: A light-emitting layer is formed on the first electrode layer.

[0127] For example, the light-emitting layer may be broken at the edge of the first bottom surface, and the light-emitting layer is connected to the first electrode and the auxiliary electrode in the same pixel area, respectively.

[0128] For example, the light-emitting layer can be formed using a high-temperature vapor deposition technique and can be automatically broken at the edge of the first bottom surface.

[0129] In step S105, a second electrode layer is formed on the light-emitting layer, and the first electrode, the light-emitting layer and the second electrode layer of each pixel area form a light-emitting structure.

[0130] For example, the second electrode layer can be continuously disposed on the side of the light-emitting layer away from the substrate and on the side of the auxiliary electrode away from the first insulating structure, and the second electrode layer is connected to the light-emitting layer and the auxiliary electrode in the same pixel area respectively.

[0131] For example, the second electrode layer can be formed using magnetron sputtering technology and can be continuously disposed at the edge of the first bottom surface.

[0132] The above manufacturing method first provides a substrate and forms a first insulating layer on the substrate. The substrate has multiple mutually spaced pixel regions and isolation regions located between adjacent pixel regions. The first insulating layer includes a first insulating structure located in each pixel region. The angle between the side surface of the first insulating structure and the first bottom surface is an acute angle. The first bottom surface is the surface of the first insulating structure away from the substrate. Next, a first electrode layer is formed on the first insulating layer. The first electrode layer includes a first electrode and an auxiliary electrode located in each pixel region and spaced apart from each other. The first electrode covers a portion of the first bottom surface, and the auxiliary electrode covers at least a portion of the first bottom surface and the side surface of the first insulating structure. The first electrode layer is made of a ductile metal material and can be continuously disposed at the edge of the first bottom surface.

[0133] Then, a light-emitting layer is formed on the first electrode layer, and the light-emitting layer is connected to the first electrode and auxiliary electrode in the same pixel area, respectively. The acute angle formed between the side surface of the first insulating structure and the first bottom surface away from the substrate causes the light-emitting layer on the first insulating structure to automatically disconnect at the edge of the first bottom surface. This can replace the FMM (Focused Mirror Model) for patterning the light-emitting layer, eliminating the limitations of FMM in technology, supply, and processes, achieving higher precision pixel patterns, reducing the implementation cost of OLED display panels, and avoiding pixel crosstalk and other problems that occur with FMM, thus improving the display effect of OLED display panels and meeting the ever-increasing screen demands of the market.

[0134] Finally, a second electrode layer is formed on the light-emitting layer and the auxiliary electrode. The second electrode layer is connected to the light-emitting layer and the auxiliary electrode of the same pixel area, respectively. The first electrode, the light-emitting layer and the second electrode layer of each pixel area form a light-emitting structure.

[0135] Figure 6 for Figure 5 Please refer to the flowchart of step S102 in the manufacturing method. Figure 6 In some embodiments, step S102 may include steps S201 to S203.

[0136] Step S201: Lay negative photoresist on the substrate.

[0137] Step S202: Expose a portion of the negative photoresist in each pixel area using a photomask.

[0138] In step S203, the exposed negative photoresist is developed, and the remaining negative photoresist forms the first insulating structure.

[0139] In some embodiments, the first insulating structure of each pixel region has a first through hole. Figure 7 For a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a display panel in another embodiment of this application, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 Before step S102, the manufacturing method may further include steps S301 to S303.

[0140] Step S301: A driving circuit layer is formed on the substrate, the driving circuit layer including driving circuits for each pixel area.

[0141] Step S302: A second insulating layer is formed on the driving circuit layer, the second insulating layer having second through holes located in each pixel area.

[0142] In step S303, a metal layer is formed on the second connecting hole and the second insulating layer. The metal layer includes a transition portion located in each pixel area. The transition portion of each pixel area is connected to the driving circuit of the same pixel area through the second connecting hole of the same pixel area. The first electrode of each pixel area is connected to the transition portion of the same pixel area through the first connecting hole of the same pixel area.

[0143] For example, the metal layer may also include conductive portions located in the isolation region and the pixel region, with the conductive portions spaced apart from the transition portions.

[0144] In some embodiments, prior to step S104, the manufacturing method may further include the following steps: forming a pixel definition layer on a first bottom surface and a first electrode layer on the first bottom surface, the pixel definition layer having an opening communicating with the first electrode.

[0145] Accordingly, step S104 may include the following steps: forming a light-emitting layer on the pixel definition layer, the first electrode inside the opening, and the auxiliary electrode, wherein the light-emitting layer is connected to the first electrode through the opening.

[0146] Figure 8 For a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a display panel in another embodiment of this application, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 8 In some embodiments, after step S105, the manufacturing method may further include steps S401 to S403.

[0147] Step S401: Cover the second electrode layer of each pixel region with a pixel encapsulation layer.

[0148] Step S402: Remove the pixel encapsulation layer, the second electrode layer, and the light-emitting layer of at least one pixel area to expose the first electrode layer.

[0149] In step S403, the light-emitting layer, the second electrode layer, and the pixel encapsulation layer are sequentially re-formed on the exposed first electrode layer. The color of the re-formed light-emitting layer is different from the color of the removed light-emitting layer.

[0150] Figure 9 For a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a display panel in another embodiment of this application, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 9In some embodiments, the manufacturing method may include the following steps S501 to S508.

[0151] Step S501: Provide a substrate, and sequentially form a driving circuit layer, a second insulating layer, and a metal layer on the substrate.

[0152] For example, the substrate has a plurality of mutually spaced pixel regions and an isolation region located between two adjacent pixel regions. Figure 10 for Figure 9 Please refer to the partial structural diagram of the display panel after step S501 is performed in the manufacturing method. Figure 10 The driving circuit layer includes driving circuits 71 for each pixel region 11. The second insulating layer 72 has second through holes 720 located in each pixel region 11. The metal layer 60 includes a transition portion 61 located in each pixel region 11, and the transition portion 61 of each pixel region 11 is connected to the driving circuit 71 of the same pixel region 11 through the second through hole 720 of the same pixel region 11. The metal layer 60 also includes conductive portions 62 located in the isolation region 12 and the pixel region 11, and the conductive portions 62 are spaced apart from the transition portions 61 so as to be subsequently connected to the second electrode layer through auxiliary electrodes.

[0153] Step S502: A first insulating layer is formed on the metal layer and the second insulating layer.

[0154] Figure 11 for Figure 9 A partial structural diagram of the display panel after step S502 is performed in the manufacturing method. Figure 12 for Figure 11 Please refer to the top view diagram of the display panel. Figure 11 and Figure 12 For example, the first insulating layer 20 includes a first insulating structure 21 located in each pixel region 11. The angle between the side surface of the first insulating structure 21 and the first bottom surface is an acute angle, and the first bottom surface is the surface of the first insulating structure 21 away from the substrate 10. Each pixel region 11 has a first connecting hole 210, and the angle between the sidewall of the first connecting hole 210 and the first bottom surface is also an acute angle. The aperture of the first connecting hole 210 is smaller than the spacing between two adjacent first insulating structures 21.

[0155] For example, the pixel area containing the red emitting layer is called the red pixel area, the pixel area containing the green emitting layer is called the green pixel area, and the pixel area containing the blue emitting layer is called the blue pixel area. The first connecting holes in the same column of red pixels can be arranged collinearly, the first connecting holes in the same column of green pixels can be arranged collinearly, and the first connecting holes in the same column of blue pixels can be arranged collinearly. The first connecting holes in the red pixel area, the first connecting holes in the green pixel area, and the first connecting holes in the blue pixel area can be not arranged collinearly. Here, collinear arrangement means that the center points of the first connecting holes are located on the same straight line.

[0156] Step S503: A first electrode layer is formed on the first insulating layer and the metal layer.

[0157] Figure 13 for Figure 9 A partial structural diagram of the display panel after step S503 is performed in the manufacturing method. Figure 14 for Figure 13 Please refer to the top view diagram of the display panel. Figure 13 and Figure 14 For example, the first electrode layer 30 includes a first electrode 31 and an auxiliary electrode 32 located in each pixel region 11 and spaced apart from each other. The first electrode 31 fills the first through hole of the same pixel region 11 and is connected to the transition portion 61 of the same pixel region 11, and covers a portion of the first bottom surface. The auxiliary electrode 32 covers at least a portion of the first bottom surface and the side surface of the first insulating structure 21, and is continuously disposed at the edge of the first bottom surface.

[0158] For example, please refer to Figure 14 The auxiliary electrode 32 can be located on different sides of the first electrode 31, and the distance between the auxiliary electrode 32 and the first electrode 31 on different sides can be different.

[0159] Step S504: A pixel definition layer is formed on the first electrode layer and the first insulating layer.

[0160] Figure 15 for Figure 9 A partial structural diagram of the display panel after step S504 is performed in the manufacturing method. Figure 16 for Figure 15 Please refer to the top view diagram of the display panel. Figure 15 and Figure 16 For example, the pixel definition layer 91 covers a portion of the first electrode layer 30 on the first bottom surface and the exposed portion of the first bottom surface between the first electrode 31 and the auxiliary electrode 32. The pixel definition layer 91 has an opening 910 communicating with the first electrode 31. The angle between the sidewall of the opening 910 and the bottom surface is an obtuse angle, so that the subsequent light-emitting layer 20 is continuously disposed inside and outside the opening 910.

[0161] For example, please refer to Figure 16 In the direction close to the isolation zone 12, the width of the first part of the auxiliary electrode 32 on different sides of the first electrode 31 can be different, and the width of the third part of the auxiliary electrode 32 on different sides of the first electrode 31 can be different.

[0162] Step S505: A light-emitting layer and a second electrode layer are sequentially formed on the pixel definition layer and the first electrode layer.

[0163] Figure 17 for Figure 9 Please refer to the structural diagram of the display panel after step S505 is performed in the manufacturing method. Figure 17 For example, the light-emitting layer 40 is interrupted at the edge of the first bottom surface, covering only the first electrode 31 and auxiliary electrode 32 on the first bottom surface, and the auxiliary electrode 32 on the conductive portion 62, and is connected to the first electrode 31 and auxiliary electrode 32 of the same pixel area respectively. The auxiliary electrode 32 on the side of the first insulating structure 21 is not covered by the light-emitting layer 40. The second electrode layer 50 is continuously disposed at the edge of the first bottom surface, and is connected to the light-emitting layer 40 and auxiliary electrode 32 of the same pixel area 11 respectively, thereby connecting to the conductive portion 62 through the auxiliary electrode 32. The first electrode 31, the light-emitting layer 40 and the second electrode layer 50 of each pixel area 11 form a light-emitting structure.

[0164] Step S506: Cover the second electrode layer of each pixel region with a pixel encapsulation layer.

[0165] Figure 18 for Figure 9 Please refer to the structural diagram of the display panel after step S506 is performed in the manufacturing method. Figure 18 For example, the pixel encapsulation layer 92 covers the second electrode layer 50 and the conductive portion 62.

[0166] Step S507: Remove the pixel encapsulation layer, the second electrode layer, and the light-emitting layer of at least one pixel area to expose the first electrode layer.

[0167] Figure 19 for Figure 9 Please refer to the structural diagram of the display panel after step S507 is performed in the manufacturing method. Figure 19 For example, the pixel encapsulation layer 92, the second electrode layer 50, and the light-emitting layer 40 of one pixel region 11 are retained, while the pixel encapsulation layer 92, the second electrode layer 50, and the light-emitting layer 40 of another pixel region 11 are removed, exposing the first electrode layer 30. In addition, the pixel encapsulation layer 92, the second electrode layer 50, and the light-emitting layer 40 of the isolation region 12 are also removed, exposing the conductive portion 62.

[0168] In step S508, the light-emitting layer, the second electrode layer, and the pixel encapsulation layer are sequentially re-formed on the exposed first electrode layer. The color of the re-formed light-emitting layer is different from the color of the removed light-emitting layer.

[0169] Figure 20 for Figure 9 Please refer to the structural diagram of the display panel after step S508 is performed in the manufacturing method. Figure 20 For example, a light-emitting layer 40, a second electrode layer 50, and a pixel encapsulation layer 92 are reformed on the exposed first electrode layer 30. After the light-emitting layers of all colors are formed, a first inorganic encapsulation layer, an organic encapsulation layer, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer are sequentially covered on each pixel encapsulation layer 92 and the isolation region 12.
