[0073] To further illustrate the display panel and display device provided in the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] Please see Figures 1 to 6 , Figures 9 to 11 This utility model provides a display panel, including: a substrate 10 and a plurality of light-emitting units 20 disposed on the substrate 10, wherein the light-emitting unit 20 includes sub-pixels of at least two colors;

[0075] In the at least two colors of sub-pixels, the first color sub-pixel 201 comprises at least one first light-emitting layer 201a, and the second color sub-pixel 202 comprises at least two second light-emitting layers 202a arranged in a stack, the number of the second light-emitting layers 202a being greater than the number of the first light-emitting layers 201a; the second color sub-pixel 202 further comprises at least one second charge generation layer 202b, and at least part of the second charge generation layer 202b farthest from the substrate 10 is located between the two second light-emitting layers 202a farthest from the substrate 10.

[0076] The orthogonal projection of the second charge generation layer 202b farthest from the substrate 10 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the pixel opening area of the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10.

[0077] It should be noted that the pixel opening area of the sub-pixel is defined by the pixel definition layer PDL, which is the effective light-emitting area of the sub-pixel.

[0078] It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 10 The anode layer Ano and the cathode layer Cath and the encapsulation layer TFE are also shown in FIG. 2. The cathode layer Cath can be a second power signal transmission layer, but is not limited thereto. The display panel further comprises a driving circuit layer between the substrate 10 and the anode layer Ano, which is not shown in the figure.

[0079] For example, the display panel comprises a plurality of light-emitting units 20 arranged in an array. For example, the light-emitting unit 20 comprises three color sub-pixels, i.e., red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels and blue sub-pixels.

[0080] For example, the light-emitting unit 20 adopts a Real RGB pixel arrangement, but is not limited thereto.

[0081] For example, the first light-emitting layer 201a comprises a first organic light-emitting material layer, and the second light-emitting layer 202a comprises a second organic light-emitting material layer.

[0082] For example, the first color sub-pixel 201 comprises at least one first light-emitting layer 201a. In the case where the first color sub-pixel 201 comprises one first light-emitting layer 201a, the first color sub-pixel 201 does not comprise a first charge generation layer 201b; in the case where the first color sub-pixel 201 comprises at least two first light-emitting layers 201a arranged in a stack, the first color sub-pixel 201 further comprises a first charge generation layer 201b, and each adjacent two first light-emitting layers 201a has one first charge generation layer 201b therebetween.

[0083] Exemplarily, the second color sub-pixel 202 includes at least two layers of second light-emitting layers 202a arranged in a stack, and at least one layer of second charge generation layers 202b, and each two adjacent layers of the second light-emitting layers 202a have one layer of the second charge generation layers 202b therebetween.

[0084] Exemplarily, the number of the second light-emitting layers 202a is greater than the number of the first light-emitting layers 201a, and the number of the second charge generation layers 202b is greater than the number of the first charge generation layers 201b, and the normal projection of the second charge generation layer 202b that is additionally included in the second color sub-pixel 202 relative to the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the normal projection of the pixel opening area of the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10.

[0085] Exemplarily, the second charge generation layer 202b that is additionally included in the second color sub-pixel 202 relative to the first color sub-pixel 201 includes the second charge generation layer 202b farthest from the substrate 10, and at least part of the second charge generation layer 202b farthest from the substrate 10 is located between two second light-emitting layers 202a farthest from the substrate 10, and the normal projection of the second charge generation layer 202b farthest from the substrate 10 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the normal projection of the pixel opening area of the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10.

[0086] According to the specific structure of the display panel, in the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application, the second color sub-pixel 202 includes at least two layers of second light-emitting layers 202a arranged in a stack and at least one layer of second charge generation layers 202b, and each two adjacent layers of the second light-emitting layers 202a have one layer of the second charge generation layers 202b therebetween, so that the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the Tandem light-emitting device formed by the second color sub-pixel 202, and the display brightness and the service life of the display panel are ensured.

[0087] Moreover, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application sets the first color sub-pixel 201 to include at least one first light-emitting layer 201a, and the number of the second light-emitting layer 202a is greater than the number of the first light-emitting layer 201a, that is, the number of the second charge generation layer 202b is greater than the number of the first charge generation layer 201b included in the first color sub-pixel 201, and the normal projection of the second charge generation layer 202b (that is, the second charge generation layer 202b in the second color sub-pixel 202 which is more than the first color sub-pixel 201) farthest from the substrate 10 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the normal projection of the pixel opening area of the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10, thereby avoiding the influence of the extra second charge generation layer 202b on the carriers (including electrons and holes) required for the light-emitting of the first color sub-pixel 201, ensuring the light-emitting effect of the first color sub-pixel 201, and thus ensuring the picture quality performance of the display panel including the series light-emitting device (that is, the second color sub-pixel 202).

[0088] In addition, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application sets the first color sub-pixel 201 to include at least one first light-emitting layer 201a, and the number of the second light-emitting layer 202a is greater than the number of the first light-emitting layer 201a, so that the sub-pixels in the display panel are not all sub-pixels including multiple light-emitting layers, thereby avoiding the light-emitting efficiency of the sub-pixels in the display panel being too high, avoiding the sensitivity of the sub-pixels to the current being too strong, and thus avoiding the problem that the display panel has poor picture quality performance when displaying a low gray scale picture.

[0089] In addition, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application sets the first color sub-pixel 201 to include at least one first light-emitting layer 201a, and the number of the second light-emitting layer 202a is greater than the number of the first light-emitting layer 201a, so that the sub-pixels in the display panel are not all sub-pixels including multiple light-emitting layers, thereby avoiding the light-emitting efficiency of the sub-pixels in the display panel being too high, avoiding the sensitivity of the sub-pixels to the current being too strong, and thus avoiding the problem that the display panel has poor picture quality performance when displaying a low gray scale picture.

[0090] As shown in FIG. Figures 1 to 3 As shown in FIG.

[0091] For example, when the first color sub-pixel 201 includes one first light-emitting layer 201a and the second color sub-pixel 202 includes at least two stacked second light-emitting layers 202a, the light-emitting unit 20 is formed as a hybrid device structure, that is, a hybrid device structure including a single device + tandem device, or a single device + multilayer device.

[0092] For example, the second charge generation layer 202b mentioned above, which is the second charge generation layer 202b in the second color sub-pixel 202 that is additional to the first color sub-pixel 201, has a projection on the substrate 10 that does not overlap with the projection of the pixel opening area of ​​the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10.

[0093] The above configuration avoids the additional second charge generation layer 202b from affecting the charge carriers required for the first color sub-pixel 201 to emit light, thus ensuring the emitting effect of the first color sub-pixel 201 and thereby ensuring the image quality performance of the display panel including the series light-emitting devices.

[0094] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the first color sub-pixel 201 includes two stacked first light-emitting layers 201a and a first charge-generating layer 201b located between the two first light-emitting layers 201a.

[0095] The second color sub-pixel 202 includes a first second light-emitting layer 202a, a second second light-emitting layer 202a, and a third second light-emitting layer 202a stacked sequentially along a direction away from the substrate 10. It also includes a first second charge-generating layer 202b and a second second charge-generating layer 202b. The first second charge-generating layer 202b is located between the first second light-emitting layer 202a and the second second light-emitting layer 202a, and the second second charge-generating layer 202b is located between the second second light-emitting layer 202a and the third second light-emitting layer 202a.

[0096] The orthographic projection of the second charge generation layer 202b on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel opening area of ​​the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10.

[0097] For example, the second charge generation layer 202b is the second charge generation layer 202b that is additional to the second color sub-pixel 202 compared to the first color sub-pixel 201.

[0098] Exemplarily, the first charge generation layer 201b is arranged in the same layer and material as the first layer second charge generation layer 202b; the first charge generation layer 201b and the first layer second charge generation layer 202b are independent of each other; or the first charge generation layer 201b and the first layer second charge generation layer 202b form a common charge generation layer in an integrated structure.

[0099] Exemplarily, in the case where the first charge generation layer 201b and the first layer second charge generation layer 202b form a common charge generation layer in an integrated structure, the common charge generation layer can include a hollow area Q1 located above the pixel definition layer PDL between the first color sub-pixel 201 and the second color sub-pixel 202.

[0100] The above arrangement avoids the second charge generation layer 202b affecting the carriers required for the first color sub-pixel 201 to emit light, ensuring the light emitting effect of the first color sub-pixel 201, and thus ensuring the display quality of the display panel including the serial light emitting device.

[0101] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the first color sub-pixel 201 includes a layer of the first light emitting layer 201a; Figure 4

[0102] The second color sub-pixel 202 includes a first layer second light emitting layer 202a, a second layer second light emitting layer 202a and a third layer second light emitting layer 202a arranged in sequence in the direction away from the substrate 10, and further includes a first layer second charge generation layer 202b and a second layer second charge generation layer 202b, the first layer second charge generation layer 202b is located between the first layer second light emitting layer 202a and the second layer second light emitting layer 202a, and the second layer second charge generation layer 202b is located between the second layer second light emitting layer 202a and the third layer second light emitting layer 202a;

[0103] The orthogonal projection of the first layer second charge generation layer 202b on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the pixel opening area of the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10;

[0104] The orthogonal projection of the second layer second charge generation layer 202b on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the pixel opening area of the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10.

[0105] ​For example, the first layer of the second charge generation layer 202b and the second layer of the second charge generation layer 202b in the second color sub-pixel 202 are the second charge generation layers 202b that are additionally provided relative to the first color sub-pixel 201.

[0106] The above arrangement avoids the additional second charge generation layer 202b from affecting the carriers required for the first color sub-pixel 201 to emit light, thereby ensuring the light emitting effect of the first color sub-pixel 201 and the display quality of the display panel including the tandem light emitting device.

[0107] For example, the first layer of the second charge generation layer 202b and the second layer of the second charge generation layer 202b in the second color sub-pixel 202 are the second charge generation layers 202b that are additionally provided relative to the third color sub-pixel 203. Figure 1 Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, among the at least two colors of sub-pixels, the third color sub-pixel 203 includes at least one third light emitting layer 203a.

[0108] In the case where the number of the third light emitting layer 203a included in the third color sub-pixel 203 is less than the number of the second light emitting layer 202a included in the second color sub-pixel 202, the orthographic projection of the second charge generation layer 202b farthest from the substrate 10 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel opening region of the third color sub-pixel 203 on the substrate 10.

[0109] For example, in the case where the number of the third light emitting layer 203a included in the third color sub-pixel 203 is less than the number of the second light emitting layer 202a included in the second color sub-pixel 202, the second charge generation layer 202b farthest from the substrate 10 in the second color sub-pixel 202 is the second charge generation layer 202b that is additionally provided relative to the third color sub-pixel 203.

[0110] The above arrangement avoids the additional second charge generation layer 202b from affecting the carriers required for the third color sub-pixel 203 to emit light, thereby ensuring the light emitting effect of the third color sub-pixel 203 and the display quality of the display panel including the tandem light emitting device.

[0111] Figure 2 For example, the first layer of the second charge generation layer 202b and the second layer of the second charge generation layer 202b in the second color sub-pixel 202 are the second charge generation layers 202b that are additionally provided relative to the third color sub-pixel 203. Figure 3 Figures 5 to 10 As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, among the at least two colors of sub-pixels, the third color sub-pixel 203 includes at least two layers of third light emitting layers 203a arranged in a stack; the third color sub-pixel 203 further includes at least one third charge generation layer 203b, and there is one third charge generation layer 203b between any two adjacent layers of the third light emitting layers 203a.

[0112] ​​The third charge generation layer 203b closest to the substrate 10 is disposed in the same layer and made of the same material as the second charge generation layer 202b closest to the substrate 10.

[0113] The third charge generation layer 203b closest to the substrate 10 and the second charge generation layer 202b closest to the substrate 10 are independent of each other; or, the third charge generation layer 203b closest to the substrate 10 and the second charge generation layer 202b closest to the substrate 10 are formed into a common charge generation layer with an integral structure.

[0114] For example, in the case where the third charge generation layer 203b closest to the substrate 10 and the second charge generation layer 202b closest to the substrate 10 are formed as a common charge generation layer, the common charge generation layer may include a cutout area Q1, which is located above the pixel delimiting layer PDL between the third color sub-pixel 203 and the second color sub-pixel 202.

[0115] The aforementioned arrangement of the third charge generation layer 203b closest to the substrate 10 and the second charge generation layer 202b closest to the substrate 10 being disposed in the same layer and made of the same material allows the third charge generation layer 203b closest to the substrate 10 and the second charge generation layer 202b closest to the substrate 10 to be formed simultaneously in the same patterning process. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the display panel, reduces BOM (Bill of Materials) costs, and improves the manufacturing yield.

[0116] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the third color sub-pixel 203 includes a first third light-emitting layer 203a, a second third light-emitting layer 203a, and a third third light-emitting layer 203a stacked sequentially along a direction away from the substrate 10, and also includes a first third charge-generating layer 203b and a second third charge-generating layer 203b, wherein the first third charge-generating layer 203b is located between the first third light-emitting layer 203a and the second third light-emitting layer 203a, and the second third charge-generating layer 203b is located between the second third light-emitting layer 203a and the third third light-emitting layer 203a;

[0117] The first third charge generation layer 203b and the first second charge generation layer 202b are independent of each other; or, the first third charge generation layer 203b and the first second charge generation layer 202b form a common charge generation layer with an integral structure.

[0118] And / or,

[0119] The second third charge generation layer 203b and the second second charge generation layer 202b are independent of each other; or, the second third charge generation layer 203b and the second second charge generation layer 202b form a common charge generation layer with an integral structure.

[0120] For example, in the case where the first third charge generation layer 203b and the first second charge generation layer 202b form a common charge generation layer with an integral structure, the common charge generation layer may include a cutout area Q1, which is located above the pixel delimiting layer PDL between the third color sub-pixel 203 and the second color sub-pixel 202.

[0121] For example, in the case where the second third charge generation layer 203b and the second second charge generation layer 202b are formed as a common charge generation layer, the common charge generation layer may include a cutout area Q1, which is located above the pixel delimiting layer PDL between the third color sub-pixel 203 and the second color sub-pixel 202.

[0122] The above configuration allows the first third charge generation layer 203b and the first second charge generation layer 202b to be formed simultaneously in the same patterning process, which helps to simplify the manufacturing process of the display panel.

[0123] The above configuration allows the second third charge generation layer 203b and the second second charge generation layer 202b to be formed simultaneously in the same patterning process, which helps to simplify the manufacturing process of the display panel.

[0124] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the third color sub-pixel 203 includes a first third light-emitting layer 203a, a second third light-emitting layer 203a, and a third third light-emitting layer 203a stacked sequentially along a direction away from the substrate 10, and also includes a first third charge-generating layer 203b and a second third charge-generating layer 203b, wherein the first third charge-generating layer 203b is located between the first third light-emitting layer 203a and the second third light-emitting layer 203a, and the second third charge-generating layer 203b is located between the second third light-emitting layer 203a and the third third light-emitting layer 203a;

[0125] In the case where the first color sub-pixel 201 includes a first light-emitting layer 201a:

[0126] The orthographic projection of the first third charge generation layer 203b on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel opening area of ​​the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10.

[0127] The orthographic projection of the second third charge generation layer 203b on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel opening area of ​​the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10.

[0128] For example, when the first color sub-pixel 201 includes a first light-emitting layer 201a, the first third charge generation layer 203b and the second third charge generation layer 203b are the additional third charge generation layer 203b in the third color sub-pixel 203 relative to the first color sub-pixel 201.

[0129] The above configuration avoids the additional third charge generation layer 203b from affecting the charge carriers required for the first color sub-pixel 201 to emit light, thus ensuring the emitting effect of the first color sub-pixel 201 and thereby ensuring the image quality performance of the display panel including the series light-emitting devices.

[0130] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, among the sub-pixels of at least two colors, the third color sub-pixel 203 includes two stacked third light-emitting layers 203a; the third color sub-pixel 203 also includes a third charge-generating layer 203b, which is located between the two third light-emitting layers 203a.

[0131] When the first color sub-pixel 201 includes a first light-emitting layer 201a, the orthographic projection of the third charge-generating layer 203b on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel opening region of the first color sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10.

[0132] For example, when the first color sub-pixel 201 includes a first light-emitting layer 201a, the third charge-generating layer 203b is the additional third charge-generating layer 203b in the third color sub-pixel 203 compared to the first color sub-pixel 201.

[0133] The above configuration avoids the additional third charge generation layer 203b from affecting the charge carriers required for the first color sub-pixel 201 to emit light, thus ensuring the emitting effect of the first color sub-pixel 201 and thereby ensuring the image quality performance of the display panel including the series light-emitting devices.

[0134] In some embodiments, the second color sub-pixel 202 includes a blue sub-pixel, one of the first color sub-pixel 201 and the third color sub-pixel 203 includes a red sub-pixel, and the other of the first color sub-pixel 201 and the third color sub-pixel 203 includes a green sub-pixel.

[0135] It should be noted that among the red, green, and blue sub-pixels, the blue sub-pixel has the shortest lifespan. Therefore, the above-mentioned setting of the second color sub-pixel 202 includes the blue sub-pixel, such that the blue sub-pixel includes at least two stacked second light-emitting layers 202a, thereby effectively improving the lifespan of the blue sub-pixel.

[0136] Since the green subpixel is the pixel with the greatest brightness sharing in the display panel, setting the green subpixel to include at least two stacked light-emitting layers is beneficial to improving the display brightness of the display panel.

[0137] In the display panel provided in the above embodiments, the number of light-emitting layers included in sub-pixels of various colors can be adaptively adjusted to meet actual needs.

[0138] The display panel provided in the above embodiments adopts a hybrid device structure. Compared with setting all sub-pixels to be tandem device structures, it effectively reduces the BOM cost and FMM mask number related to some sub-pixels, while also reducing the complexity of the process, improving the production capacity and yield of the display panel, and greatly reducing the cost of the display panel.

[0139] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the multiple second color sub-pixels 202 included in the display panel are divided into multiple columns of second sub-pixels, the multiple columns of second sub-pixels are arranged along a first direction, and each column of second sub-pixels includes multiple second color sub-pixels 202 arranged along a second direction, the first direction intersecting the second direction;

[0140] In each of the second color sub-pixels 202 belonging to the same column of second sub-pixels, the second charge generation layer 202b located in the same layer forms a common second charge generation layer 202b with an integral structure.

[0141] Exemplarily, in a case that the pixel arrangement mode of the light emitting unit 20 adopts Real RGB, the plurality of first color sub-pixels 201 and the plurality of third color sub-pixels 203 included in the display panel are divided into a plurality of first sub-pixel columns arranged along a first direction, and each of the first sub-pixel columns includes the first color sub-pixels 201 and the third color sub-pixels 203 arranged alternately along a second direction. The plurality of second color sub-pixels 202 included in the display panel are divided into a plurality of second sub-pixel columns arranged along the first direction, and the first sub-pixel columns and the second sub-pixel columns are arranged alternately along the first direction.

[0142] Exemplarily, the first direction includes a horizontal direction, and the second direction includes a vertical direction, but is not limited thereto.

[0143] Exemplarily, the common second charge generation layer 202b formed by the second charge generation layers 202b located at the same layer includes a hollow area Q1 located on a pixel definition layer PDL between adjacent second color sub-pixels 202.

[0144] In a case that the first color sub-pixel 201 and the third color sub-pixel 203 each include a single-layer light emitting layer, the first color sub-pixel 201 and the third color sub-pixel 203 each do not include a charge generation layer. In a case that the second color sub-pixel 202 includes at least two layers of second light emitting layers 202a, one of the adjacent second light emitting layers 202a has a second charge generation layer 202b, the second charge generation layer 202b is used to generate carriers (such as electrons and holes).

[0145] In the above arrangement, the second charge generation layers 202b located at the same layer of each of the second color sub-pixels 202 belonging to the same second sub-pixel column are formed as a common second charge generation layer 202b in an integrated structure, so that when the common second charge generation layer 202b is manufactured, only one mask needs to be replaced, i.e., an Open mask originally used is replaced by an FMM mask, and the common second charge generation layer 202b is formed by using the FMM mask, without the need to increase an additional process flow.

[0146] As Figure 14In some embodiments, the first color sub-pixels 201 and the third color sub-pixels 203 included in the display panel are divided into a plurality of first sub-pixel columns arranged along a first direction, each first sub-pixel column including the first color sub-pixels 201 and the third color sub-pixels 203 arranged alternately along a second direction. The second color sub-pixels 202 included in the display panel are divided into a plurality of second sub-pixel columns arranged along the first direction, the first sub-pixel columns and the second sub-pixel columns being arranged alternately along the first direction.

[0147] The third color sub-pixels 203 are divided into a plurality of third sub-pixel rows arranged along the second direction, each third sub-pixel row including a plurality of third color sub-pixels 203 arranged along the first direction.

[0148] When the third color sub-pixels 203 include at least two layers of third light-emitting layers 203a, the second charge generation layer 202b and the third charge generation layer 203b in the second color sub-pixels 202 and the third color sub-pixels 203 are formed as a common charge generation layer in an integral structure.

[0149] For example, when the first color sub-pixels 201 include a single layer of first light-emitting layers 201a, the first color sub-pixels 201 do not include a charge generation layer. When the second color sub-pixels 202 include at least two layers of second light-emitting layers 202a, one of the adjacent second light-emitting layers 202a includes a second charge generation layer 202b for generating carriers. When the third color sub-pixels 203 include at least two layers of third light-emitting layers 203a, one of the adjacent third light-emitting layers 203a includes a third charge generation layer 203b for generating carriers.

[0150] The above arrangement allows one mask to be replaced when the common charge generation layer is manufactured, i.e., replacing an Open mask with an FMM mask. One of the second charge generation layer 202b and the third charge generation layer 203b can be formed by using the replaced FMM mask. One additional FMM mask is needed, and the other one of the second charge generation layer 202b and the third charge generation layer 203b can be formed by using the additional FMM mask.

[0151] For example, when the first color sub-pixels 201 include a single layer of first light-emitting layers 201a, the first color sub-pixels 201 do not include a charge generation layer. When the second color sub-pixels 202 include at least two layers of second light-emitting layers 202a, one of the adjacent second light-emitting layers 202a includes a second charge generation layer 202b for generating carriers. When the third color sub-pixels 203 include at least two layers of third light-emitting layers 203a, one of the adjacent third light-emitting layers 203a includes a third charge generation layer 203b for generating carriers. Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, when the number of third light-emitting layers 203a included in the third color sub-pixel 203 is equal to the number of first light-emitting layers 201a included in the first color sub-pixel 201:

[0152] The display panel includes a first power signal transmission layer 31 and a second power signal transmission layer 32, wherein the first power signal transmission layer 31 and / or the second power signal transmission layer 32 include a mesh structure; the first color sub-pixel 201 and the third color sub-pixel 203 are respectively coupled to the first power signal transmission layer 31, and the second color sub-pixel 202 is coupled to the second power signal transmission layer 32.

[0153] For example, both the first type of first power signal transmission layer 31 and the second type of first power signal transmission layer 32 are used to transmit VDD signals. The voltage value of the first power signal transmitted by the first type of first power signal transmission layer 31 is the same as or different from the voltage value of the first power signal transmitted by the second type of first power signal transmission layer 32.

[0154] It should be noted that in the design of the VDD signal in the relevant technology, only one first power signal transmission layer is set up. The first power signal with a fixed voltage value is transmitted through this first power signal transmission layer. This will cause the voltage across the Tandem device to be higher than that across the Single device, which will eventually lead to a certain specification over-voltage of the Single device, increasing the power consumption and temperature rise of the display panel.

[0155] The above configuration involves coupling the first color sub-pixel 201 and the third color sub-pixel 203 to the first power signal transmission layer 31, and coupling the second color sub-pixel 202 to the second power signal transmission layer 32. This allows the display panel to adopt a separate power signal transmission layer design, meaning that the first power signal received by the second color sub-pixel 202 can be independently controlled, along with the first power signals received by the first color sub-pixel 201 and the third color sub-pixel 203. This design can adaptively adjust the voltage values ​​of the first power signals received by different color sub-pixels, thereby reducing the voltage across the devices of various sub-pixels, including those with different numbers of light-emitting layers, and achieving the goals of reducing power consumption and temperature rise.

[0156] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, when the number of third light-emitting layers 203a included in the third color sub-pixel 203 is equal to the number of second light-emitting layers 202a included in the second color sub-pixel 202:

[0157] The display panel includes a first power signal transmission layer 31 and a second power signal transmission layer 32, wherein the first power signal transmission layer 31 and / or the second power signal transmission layer 32 include a mesh structure; the first color sub-pixel 201 is coupled to the first power signal transmission layer 31, and the second color sub-pixel 202 and the third color sub-pixel 203 are respectively coupled to the second power signal transmission layer 32.

[0158] The above configuration couples the first color sub-pixel 201 to the first power signal transmission layer 31, and the second color sub-pixel 202 and the third color sub-pixel 203 to the second power signal transmission layer 32, respectively. This allows the display panel to adopt a separate power signal transmission layer design, meaning that the first power signal received by the first color sub-pixel 201 can be independently controlled, as can the first power signals received by the second color sub-pixel 202 and the third color sub-pixel 203. This design can adaptively adjust the voltage values ​​of the first power signals received by different color sub-pixels, thereby reducing the voltage across the devices of various sub-pixels, including different numbers of light-emitting layers, and achieving the purpose of reducing power consumption and temperature rise.

[0159] like Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments, when the number of third light-emitting layers 203a included in the third color sub-pixel 203 is equal to the number of first light-emitting layers 201a included in the first color sub-pixel 201:

[0160] The display panel includes a first second power signal transmission layer 41 and a second second power signal transmission layer 42. The first color sub-pixel 201 and the third color sub-pixel 203 are respectively coupled to the first second power signal transmission layer 41, and the second color sub-pixel 202 is coupled to the second second power signal transmission layer 42.

[0161] For example, both the first type of second power signal transmission layer 41 and the second type of second power signal transmission layer 42 are used to transmit VSS signals. The voltage value of the second power signal transmitted by the first type of second power signal transmission layer 41 is the same as or different from the voltage value of the second power signal transmitted by the second type of second power signal transmission layer 42.

[0162] Exemplarily, the first second power signal transmission layer 41 is formed in a comb structure, and includes a first comb stem 411 and a plurality of first comb teeth 412 coupled to the first comb stem 411 respectively; the second second power signal transmission layer 42 is formed in a comb structure, and includes a second comb stem 421 and a plurality of second comb teeth 422 coupled to the second comb stem 421 respectively; the first comb teeth 412 and the second comb teeth 422 are arranged alternately in a first direction.

[0163] It should be noted that in the related art, when designing a VSS signal, only one layer of second power signal transmission layer is provided, and the second power signal with a fixed voltage value is transmitted through the one layer of second power signal transmission layer, which can cause the cross voltage of the Tandem device to be higher than that of the Single device, and finally cause the cross voltage of the Single device to have a certain specification overflow, thereby increasing the power consumption and temperature rise of the display panel.

[0164] The first color sub-pixel 201 and the third color sub-pixel 203 are coupled to the first second power signal transmission layer 41, and the second color sub-pixel 202 is coupled to the second second power signal transmission layer 42, so that the display panel adopts a second power signal transmission layer separation design, that is, the second power signal received by the second color sub-pixel 202 can be independently controlled from the second power signals received by the first color sub-pixel 201 and the third color sub-pixel 203. This design can adaptively adjust the voltage values of the second power signals received by different color sub-pixels, thereby reducing the device cross voltage of each type of sub-pixel including different numbers of light-emitting layers, and achieving the purposes of reducing power consumption and temperature rise.

[0165] It should be noted that the above scheme needs to increase a mask when manufacturing the second power signal transmission layer, but has little effect on the cost.

[0166] In addition, the first second power signal transmission layer 41 and the second second power signal transmission layer 42 are arranged in the above structure, which effectively reduces the resistance of the first second power signal transmission layer 41 and the second second power signal transmission layer 42, thereby further achieving the effect of reducing the cross voltage.

[0167] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, when the number of the third light-emitting layers 203a included in the third color sub-pixel 203 is equal to the number of the second light-emitting layers 202a included in the second color sub-pixel 202, the first second power signal transmission layer 41 and the second second power signal transmission layer 42 are arranged in a comb structure, and the first comb teeth 412 of the first second power signal transmission layer 41 and the second comb teeth 422 of the second second power signal transmission layer 42 are arranged alternately in a first direction. Figures 16 to 19

[0168] ​The display panel comprises a first second power signal transmission layer 41 and a second second power signal transmission layer 42, the first color sub-pixel 201 is coupled with the first second power signal transmission layer 41, and the second color sub-pixel 202 and the third color sub-pixel 203 are respectively coupled with the second second power signal transmission layer 42.

[0169] For example, the first second power signal transmission layer 41 is formed into a comb structure, the first second power signal transmission layer 41 comprises a first comb handle 411 and a plurality of first comb teeth 412 coupled with the first comb handle 411 respectively; the second second power signal transmission layer 42 is formed into a comb structure, the second second power signal transmission layer 42 comprises a second comb handle 421 and a plurality of second comb teeth 422 coupled with the second comb handle 421 respectively; the first comb teeth 412 and the second comb teeth 422 are alternately arranged along a second direction;

[0170] The first comb teeth 412 comprise a first comb tooth main body part 412a and a plurality of first comb tooth extension parts 412b coupled with the first comb tooth main body part 412a respectively, along the second direction, the first comb tooth extension part 412b is located at a first side of the first comb tooth main body part 412a; the second comb teeth 422 comprise a second comb tooth main body part 422a and a plurality of second comb tooth extension parts 422b coupled with the second comb tooth main body part 422a respectively, along the second direction, the second comb tooth extension part 422b is located at a second side of the second comb tooth main body part 422a;

[0171] The plurality of first comb teeth 412 and the plurality of second comb teeth 422 are divided into a plurality of comb tooth groups Z1, each comb tooth group Z1 comprises one first comb tooth 412 and one second comb tooth 422 adjacent to each other, in the same comb tooth group Z1, the first comb tooth extension part 412b and the second comb tooth extension part 422b are alternately arranged along a first direction, and the first direction intersects with the second direction.

[0172] The above-mentioned arrangement that the first color sub-pixel 201 is coupled with the first second power signal transmission layer 41, and the second color sub-pixel 202 and the third color sub-pixel 203 are respectively coupled with the second second power signal transmission layer 42; makes the display panel adopt a second power signal transmission layer separation type design, that is, the second power signal received by the first color sub-pixel 201 can be independently controlled from the second power signal received by the second color sub-pixel 202 and the third color sub-pixel 203, this design can adaptively adjust the voltage value of the second power signal received by different color sub-pixels, thereby reducing the device cross voltage of various sub-pixels comprising different numbers of light-emitting layers, achieving the purpose of reducing power consumption and temperature rise.
