[0050] In order to better understand the present application, a display panel, a display device, and a manufacturing method of a display panel according to embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.
[0051] 1 and 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100 including an array substrate, a plurality of light-emitting units 30, an isolation structure 40, and a first encapsulating layer 50, the array substrate including a base 10 and an array layer 20 stacked together, the array layer 20 being disposed on the base 10, the plurality of light-emitting units 30 being disposed on a side of the array layer 20 away from the base 10, the plurality of light-emitting units 30 being arranged at intervals from each other, the isolation structure 40 being disposed on a side of the array layer 20 away from the base 10, the isolation structure 40 being disposed between adjacent light-emitting units 30, the first encapsulating layer 50 being disposed on a side of the light-emitting units 30 away from the array layer 20, the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting units 30 on the base 10 being located within the orthogonal projection of the first encapsulating layer 50, and at least a portion of the first encapsulating layer 50 protruding beyond the light-emitting units 30 being overlapped and connected between the light-emitting units 30 and the isolation structure 40.
[0052] In the above embodiment, the base 10 may be a rigid base 10 or a flexible base 10, the array layer 20 is a driving circuit layer and includes a plurality of driving circuits, the driving circuits include driving components and signal lines, etc., and the driving components include transistors, capacitors, etc., which are not particularly limited in the present application.
[0053] In addition, each light-emitting unit 30 may be arranged in an array on the display panel 100, and the light-emitting units 30 may be red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels and blue sub-pixels, which form a color display after red, green and blue (RGB) three-color light is mixed.
[0054] Each light-emitting unit 30 may include a first electrode 31, an emitting functional layer 32 and a second electrode 33. Optionally, the first electrode 31 is an anode, the second electrode 33 is a cathode, and the emitting functional layer 32 uses an organic light-emitting material to form different color lights. The first electrode 31 injects holes into the intermediate light-emitting functional layer 32, and the second electrode 33 injects electrons into the light-emitting functional layer 32. The holes and electrons combine in the light-emitting functional layer 32 to form excitons, which then cause the organic light-emitting material to emit light and obtain different color lights.
[0055] Specifically, the first electrode 31 is provided on the array layer 20, the light-emitting functional layer 32 is provided on the side of the first electrode 31 away from the array layer 20, and the second electrode 33 is provided on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 32 away from the first electrode 31, and the first electrode 31 is specifically formed on the side of the array layer 20 away from the base 10 and is electrically connected to a driving circuit in the array layer 20.
[0056] In the above embodiment, by providing the isolation structure 40, it is possible to manufacture the light-emitting units 30 of different colors individually and independently. Specifically, if the light-emitting functional layers 32 between the adjacent light-emitting units 30 are provided continuously, lateral crosstalk occurs, which may cause the adjacent light-emitting units 30 to emit light erroneously, thereby affecting the display quality. By providing each light-emitting unit 30 individually, the problem of lateral crosstalk between the adjacent light-emitting units 30 can be improved, and the display quality of the display panel 100 can be improved.
[0057] The isolation structure 40 is provided on the array layer 20, so that when depositing the light-emitting functional layer 32 and the second electrode 33, the light-emitting functional layer 32 is blocked by the isolation structure 40, so that the light-emitting units 30 are isolated from each other and no crosstalk occurs between the adjacent light-emitting units 30. Optionally, the second electrode 33 can be overlapped and connected with the isolation structure 40, so that the second electrode 33 is formed in the integrated layer, and of course the second electrode 33 can be not overlapped and connected with the isolation structure 40, so that the second electrodes 33 are isolated from each other.
[0058] When the display panel 100 includes the isolation structure 40, the light emitting units 30 of each color are first manufactured in the entire layer and then patterned, thereby eliminating the need for a mask plate and reducing costs. The light emitting units 30 of different colors are manufactured in different orders, and in the manufacturing process of patterning the manufactured light emitting units 30 later, they are isolated by the isolation structure 40, which improves the yield of the patterning process and reduces the impact of patterning on the yield of the light emitting units 30.
[0059] Optionally, the isolation structure 40 is a columnar structure, which in this embodiment serves to block the second electrode 33 and the light-emitting functional layer 32, thereby eliminating the need for a fine mask and preventing crosstalk between adjacent color lights.
[0060] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the isolation structure 40 along the thickness direction of the display panel 100 is a regular trapezoid or an inverted trapezoid, which can be patterned according to a specific deposition and etching process. The isolation structure 40 may be a composite metal titanium aluminum titanium (Ti / Al / Ti) structure or a titanium aluminum molybdenum (Ti / Al / Mo) structure, or may be an insulating material, and the specific shape and material of the isolation structure 40 are not particularly limited in the present application.
[0061] The first sealing layer 50 is disposed on the second electrode 33, and the first sealing layer 50 provides isolation and protection for the second electrode 33 and the light-emitting functional layer 32, thereby preventing water vapor in the external environment from entering the inside of the screen and causing adverse effects.
[0062] Considering the light transmittance of the entire display panel 100, the first sealing layer 50 needs to adopt a light-transmitting film layer, which can adopt an inorganic material layer, and a specific material may be a material such as silicon nitride, and the first sealing layer 50 is deposited on the second electrode 33 by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process to protect it.
[0063] In this embodiment, in consideration of the insufficient sealing performance of the first sealing layer 50, the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting unit 30 on the base 10 is positioned within the orthogonal projection of the first sealing layer 50, so that the light-emitting unit 30 is sufficiently covered by the first sealing layer 50, and the protruding portion of the first sealing layer 50 is overlap-connected between the light-emitting unit 30 and the isolation structure 40, thereby avoiding poor sealing overlap connection caused by the first sealing layer 50 being overlap-connected to the side wall of the isolation structure 40 and forming a gap, and the protruding portion of the first sealing layer 50 and the film layer at its bottom are sufficiently overlap-connected.
[0064] Optionally, adjacent first sealing layers 50 are spaced apart from each other, each light-emitting unit 30 is provided with a corresponding first sealing layer 50, and the first sealing layer 50 is an independent sealing structure corresponding to each light-emitting unit 30, and adjacent light-emitting units 30 are spaced apart from each other by isolation structures 40, and the corresponding first sealing layers 50 are similarly blocked at the locations of the isolation structures 40, so that adjacent first sealing layers 50 are not in contact with each other, and the first sealing layers 50 are a discontinuous sealing structure.
[0065] The present application does not particularly limit the position of the film layer at which the first sealing layer 50 is sufficiently overlappingly connected, as long as sufficient overlapping connection between the first sealing layer 50 and the film layer at its bottom can be ensured, and the occurrence of sealing gaps can be prevented.
[0066] The embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100, in which a first encapsulating layer 50 is provided on the light-emitting unit 30, so that the first encapsulating layer 50 can sufficiently cover the light-emitting unit 30, and some edges of the first encapsulating layer 50 that protrude beyond the light-emitting unit 30 can be sufficiently overlap-connected between the light-emitting unit 30 and the isolation structure 40, thereby sufficiently overlapping and connecting the first encapsulating layer 50 and the film layer at its bottom, thereby avoiding the occurrence of gaps between the first encapsulating layer 50 and the film layer to which it is overlapped, and preventing the subsequent etching solution from entering the light-emitting unit 30 through the gap and damaging the light-emitting unit 30, thereby improving the sealing performance of the first encapsulating layer 50, improving the sealing ability of the first encapsulating layer 50, providing better sealing protection for the light-emitting unit 30, and improving the safety performance of the light-emitting unit 30, and providing a reliable guarantee for the stable emission of the entire display panel 100.
[0067] As an optional example, the light-emitting unit 30 includes a first electrode 31, a light-emitting functional layer 32 and a second electrode 33 stacked in sequence, the second electrode 33 is located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 32 away from the first electrode 31, and a first sealing layer 50 is provided covering the second electrode 33, and at least a portion of the second electrode 33 is overlapped and connected to the side of the array layer 20 away from the base 10.
[0068] Optionally, a specific location of the first sealing layer 50 may be deposited on the second electrode 33, and the first sealing layer 50 may be overlaid and connected to any film layer on the array layer 20 after molding, sufficiently forming a strong overlaid connection with the film layer to avoid sealing being formed only by the sidewalls overlaid and connected to the isolation structure 40, causing sealing failure.
[0069] The embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100, in which a portion of the first sealing layer 50 that protrudes beyond the light-emitting unit 30 is overlap-connected to the array layer 20, and by providing multiple overlap connection positions of different thicknesses in the first sealing layer 50, a more sufficient overlap connection can be formed and a reliable sealing effect can be provided.
[0070] As an optional embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the isolation structure 40 is disposed directly on the array layer 20 and spaced apart from the light-emitting unit 30, and the first sealing layer 50 is disposed covering the second electrode 33, and at least a portion of the first sealing layer 50 protruding from the second electrode 33 is overlapped and connected to the array layer 20.

[0076] Optionally, the pixel openings 61 correspond one-to-one to the isolation openings formed by being surrounded by the isolation structures 40 and penetrate each other.
[0077] Specifically, the pixel definition layer 60 is deposited on the first electrode 31, and the pixel opening 61 is formed by etching the position corresponding to the first electrode 31, so that a part of the first electrode 31 is exposed from the pixel opening 61, the pixel definition layer 60 covers only the edge of the first electrode 31, and the light-emitting functional layer 32 is deposited in the pixel opening 61 and connected to the first electrode 31. After etching and forming, the pixel definition layer 60 covers the edge of the first electrode 31, forming an isolation protection for the first electrode 31 and preventing the influence of external moisture and oxygen environment. Next, the second electrode 33 is deposited on the light-emitting functional layer 32, and the light-emitting unit 30 is formed as a whole.
[0078] In this embodiment, an isolation structure 40 is provided on the pixel definition layer 60 to isolate adjacent light-emitting units 30, and the second electrodes 33 of each light-emitting unit 30 are isolated by the isolation structure 40. Similarly, as an independent structure, a cathode potential can be individually provided to the second electrodes 33 to realize conduction of the cathode signal.
[0079] When sealing the second electrode 33 with the first sealing layer 50, in order to sufficiently cover the light-emitting unit 30, the first sealing layer 50 can be directly overlapped and connected to the pixel defining layer 60 between the light-emitting unit 30 and the isolation structure 40, and the first sealing layer 50 can be in direct contact with the pixel defining layer 60 to seal the light-emitting unit 30.
[0080] Optionally, as shown in Fig. 4, the isolation structure 40 may be a monolithic structure having a first surface away from the array substrate and a second surface close to the array substrate, where the size of the first surface is larger than the size of the second surface in a cross section perpendicular to the array substrate, i.e., the isolation structure 40 forms an inverted trapezoidal structure in the cross section.
[0081] During the process of depositing the light-emitting functional layer 32, the inverted trapezoid structure of the isolation structure 40 can also block the light-emitting functional layer 32 and use its relatively long first surface to block the light-emitting functional layer 32, thereby avoiding crosstalk between adjacent light-emitting units 30; at this time, due to the isolation structure 40, the second electrode 33 does not need to be overlap-connected with the isolation structure 40 due to the influence of the blocking from the first surface, and each second electrode 33 can individually provide a VSS cathode potential through an independent metal structure; after deposition, the first sealing layer 50 is overlap-connected to the pixel defining layer 60 between the second electrode 33 and the isolation structure 40, thereby forming a stable and strong overlap connection therebetween and providing better sealing protection for the light-emitting units 30.
[0082] The embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100, which provides a pixel defining layer 60 and surrounds the pixel defining layer 60 to form a pixel opening 61. The isolation structure 40 is provided on the pixel defining layer 60, and the first sealing layer 50 is in direct contact with the pixel defining layer 60, which can better seal the light emitting unit 30, has a better sealing effect, improves the safety performance of the light emitting unit 30, and prevents the intrusion of etching chemicals.
[0083] As an optional example, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the isolation structure 40 includes a first isolation portion 41, a second isolation portion 42 and a third isolation portion 43 arranged in a stacked manner, the second isolation portion 42 is located between the first isolation portion 41 and the third isolation portion 43, the third isolation portion 43 is arranged on the array layer 20, the orthogonal projection of the second isolation portion 42 on the base 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the first isolation portion 41 and the third isolation portion 43, the second electrode 33 is overlapped and connected to the third isolation portion 43, the first sealing layer 50 is arranged covering the second electrode 33, and at least a portion of it protruding beyond the second electrode 33 is overlapped and connected to the third isolation portion 43.
[0084] Optionally, the isolation structure 40 is a three-layer composite structure, in which the second isolation portion 42 is disposed between the first isolation portion 41 and the third isolation portion 43, and has a length size smaller than that of the first isolation portion 41 and the third isolation portion 43, and the isolation structure 40 shields the deposition of the light-emitting functional layer 32 and the second electrode 33 by the first isolation portion 41, isolates adjacent light-emitting units 30, and avoids crosstalk between them.
[0085] Optionally, the first isolation portion 41 may adopt metallic titanium, the second isolation portion 42 may adopt metallic aluminum, and the third isolation portion 43 may adopt metallic molybdenum. In this embodiment, the second electrode 33 in each light-emitting unit 30 is overlapped and connected to the adjacent isolation structure 40, and the conductive performance of the isolation structure 40 is utilized to connect and conduct the second electrodes 33 of the adjacent light-emitting units 30, thereby forming a continuous integrated layer on the second electrode 33, and a cathode potential can be provided to the second electrode 33 of the integrated layer to make it conductive.
[0086] Specifically, each second electrode 33 is overlap-connected to the third isolation portion 43 of the isolation structure 40 to realize conductivity between adjacent second electrodes 33. When sealed by the first sealing layer 50, the first sealing layer 50 fully covers the light-emitting unit 30 and is in direct contact with the third isolation portion 43, thereby achieving sufficient overlap connection of the first sealing layer 50 and ensuring the sealing effect of the first sealing layer 50.
[0087] The embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100, mainly taking into consideration that when the first sealing layer 50 is overlap-connected with the second isolation portion 42, a gap is formed between the side wall of the second isolation portion 42, which causes poor sealing. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first sealing layer 50 and the third isolation portion 43 are overlap-connected and directly contacted with each other, thereby improving the sealing effect, and the third isolation portion 43 is used to conduct the second electrode 33, thereby providing a reliable overlap-connection position for the first sealing layer 50 and improving the performance of the first sealing layer 50.
[0088] As an optional example, referring to FIG. 7, a portion of the first sealing layer 50 that protrudes beyond the second electrode 33 is overlapped and connected to the third isolation portion 43, and the other portion is overlapped and connected to the side wall of the second isolation portion 42.
[0089] Considering the actual deposition process, a part of the first sealing layer 50 covers the light-emitting unit 30 and overlaps and connects with the third isolation portion 43, and at the same time, the other part of the first sealing layer 50 is deposited on the side wall of the second isolation portion 42 and directly contacts the second isolation portion 42.
[0090] Optionally, the first sealing layer 50 is located below the first isolation portion 41 and does not contact the first isolation portion 41, and a positive projection of a portion of the first sealing layer 50 on the array substrate is located outside the positive projection of the first isolation portion 41 on the array substrate.
[0091] In other words, after deposition, the first sealing layer 50 does not need to ride up onto the first isolation portion 41 along the side wall of the second isolation portion 42, but only needs to be overlapped and connected to the side wall of the second isolation portion 42 and the third isolation portion 43 of the isolation structure 40. It is mainly the portion overlapped and connected to the third isolation portion 43 that provides a reliable sealing effect.
[0092] As shown in FIG. 8, optionally, the first sealing layer 50 extends from the side wall of the second isolation portion 42 to cover the first isolation portion 41, and a portion of the first sealing layer 50 is overlapping and connected to the first isolation portion 41 and is located on the side of the first isolation portion 41 away from the second isolation portion 42.
[0093] During the deposition process of the first sealing layer 50, the first sealing layer 50 is partially shielded by the first isolation portion 41, and in order to achieve a more reliable sealing effect, the first sealing layer 50 can ride up onto the first isolation portion 41 along the side wall of the second isolation portion 42, and the first sealing layer 50 is deposited on the upper surface of the first isolation portion 41 while covering part of the bottom surface of the first isolation portion 41, thereby forming a more sufficient overlapping connection between the first sealing layer 50 and the isolation structure 40, having a larger contact area between the two, and the structure is more consistent with the actual structure after the deposition of the first sealing layer 50.
[0094] The embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100, in which a first sealing layer 50 is provided in the second isolation portion 42 and the third isolation portion 43, thereby improving the contact area between the first sealing layer 50 and the isolation structure 40, further realizing sufficient coverage for the light-emitting unit 30, improving the overall sealing effect, and having better sealing ability.
[0095] As an optional example, referring to FIG. 9, in a cross section along the thickness direction of the display panel 100 itself, the height of the second isolation portion 42 is 0.4 μm to 1.2 μm, the ratio of the length M of the first isolation portion 41 protruding beyond the second isolation portion 42 to the height of the second isolation portion 42 is 1.5 to 3.0, and the length N of the third isolation portion 43 protruding beyond the second isolation portion 42 is 0.4 μm to 3.0 μm.
[0096] The embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100, which, by controlling the length of the first isolation portion 41, forms an evaporation shield for the light-emitting functional layer 32 and the second electrode 33, while also ensuring the deposition effect of the first sealing layer 50, allowing the first sealing layer 50 to form a more sufficient coating for the light-emitting unit 30; and appropriately reducing the length of the second isolation portion 42 and increasing the length of the third isolation portion 43 that protrudes beyond the second isolation portion 42, allowing the first sealing layer 50 to form more sufficient contact with the third isolation portion 43, increasing the contact area between the two, and providing better stability of the overlap connection, thereby improving the sealing ability of the first sealing layer 50.
[0097] As an optional example, referring to FIG. 10 , the sealing layer includes a second sealing layer 51 and a third sealing layer 52 stacked on a first sealing layer 50, the first sealing layer 50 is arranged to cover the light-emitting unit 30, and the second sealing layer 51 is arranged between the first sealing layer 50 and the third sealing layer 52, and at least a portion of the first sealing layer 50 that protrudes beyond the light-emitting unit 30 is overlapped and connected between the light-emitting unit 30 and the isolation structure 40.
[0098] Optionally, the sealing layer may be a three-layer laminated structure, in which a first sealing layer 50, a second sealing layer 51 and a third sealing layer 52 are sequentially laminated on the light-emitting unit 30, in which the first sealing layer 50 and the third sealing layer 52 may be inorganic materials and may be formed by a chemical vapor deposition process, and the second sealing layer 51 may adopt an organic material and may be formed by an inkjet printing method. In the present application, the specific structure of the sealing layer is not particularly limited as long as it can achieve a sealing effect.
[0099] The embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100, in which the sealing layer has a three-layer stacked structure, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the sealing layer, providing better sealing protection for the light-emitting unit 30, and improving the overall safety performance.
[0100] An embodiment of the present application further provides a display panel 100, which includes an array substrate, a plurality of light-emitting units 30, an isolation structure 40, and a sealing layer, wherein the plurality of light-emitting units 30 are disposed on the array substrate, the isolation structure 40 is disposed on the array substrate and separates the light-emitting units 30, the isolation structure 40 includes a first isolation portion 41 and a second isolation portion 42 which are stacked in order from a direction approaching the array substrate, the orthogonal projection of the second isolation portion 42 on the array substrate is located within the orthogonal projection of the first isolation portion 41 on the array substrate, and the sealing layer includes a first sealing layer 50 provided on a side of the light-emitting units 30 away from the array substrate, the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting units 30 on the array substrate is located within the orthogonal projection of the first sealing layer 50 on the array substrate, wherein the first sealing layer 50 includes a first portion which is located below the first isolation portion 41, and the first portion of the first sealing layer 50 is not in contact with the first isolation portion 41.
[0101] In the display panel of this embodiment, the first portion of the first sealing layer 50 formed by deposition is located below the first isolation portion 41, and the first portion at this time does not contact the first isolation portion 41. This is different from the conventional structure in which the first sealing layer 50 is overlapped and connected to the side wall of the second isolation portion 42 and above the first isolation portion 41, which is prone to forming gaps between the first sealing layer 50 and the first isolation portion 41 and the second isolation portion 42, thereby causing sealing failure problems. Therefore, in this embodiment, a reliable overlapping connection is mainly formed between the first portion of the first sealing layer 50 and the film layer below the first isolation portion 41, providing better sealing protection for the light-emitting unit 30.
[0102] Based on this, optionally, at least a part of the orthogonal projection of the first portion of the first encapsulating layer 50 on the array substrate is located outside the orthogonal projection of the first isolation portion 41 on the array substrate. At this time, the first portion of the first encapsulating layer 50 is not only deposited under the first isolation portion 41, but is also shielded by the first isolation portion 41 during the deposition process, so that the first portion of the first encapsulating layer 50 and the isolation structure 40 form a gap therebetween, thereby avoiding the first encapsulating layer 50 being influenced by the isolation structure 40 to generate a gap therebetween and cause sealing failure. The main purpose of this embodiment is to use the first portion of the first encapsulating layer 50 to form a reliable overlap connection with the film layer between the isolation structure 40 and the light emitting unit 30, overcome the influence of the gap on sealing, and have a better sealing effect on the light emitting unit 30.
[0103] An embodiment of the present application provides a display device 1 including the display panel 100 described above.
[0104] Referring to FIG. 11, the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Providing a substrate including a base 10 and an array layer 20 disposed on the base 10, and forming a first electrode 31 and an isolation structure 40 on the side of the array layer 20 away from the base 10 (S1); S2 deposits the light-emitting functional layer 32 on the first electrode 31 at a first deposition angle and connects the light-emitting functional layer 32 and the first electrode 31; a step S3 of depositing a second electrode 33 on the light-emitting functional layer 32 at a second deposition angle greater than the first deposition angle, and connecting the second electrode 33 and the light-emitting functional layer 32 to form a light-emitting unit 30; depositing a first sealing layer 50 on the light-emitting unit 30, so that the first sealing layer 50 covers the light-emitting unit 30, and at least a portion of the first sealing layer 50 that protrudes from the light-emitting unit 30 is overlapped and connected between the light-emitting unit 30 and the isolation structure 40; repeating the vapor deposition and deposition process to form a plurality of light emitting units (S5).
[0105] 12 and 13, in steps S2 and S3, the light-emitting functional layer 32 is deposited at a first deposition angle to connect to the first electrode 31, and then the angle is increased to a second deposition angle to deposit the second electrode 33 at the second deposition angle, so that the second electrode 33 completely covers the light-emitting functional layer 32 to form a connection, and finally form a complete light-emitting unit 30.
[0106] In step S4, as shown in Fig. 14, a first encapsulation layer 50 is deposited on the second electrode 33 by a chemical vapor deposition process to encapsulate and protect the entire light emitting unit 30. Here, at least a portion of the first encapsulation layer 50 is deposited between the light emitting unit 30 and the isolation structure 40 to form an overlapping connection, which has better encapsulation and protection performance and prevents the etching solution in the next step S5 from eroding and damaging the light emitting unit 30.
[0107] In step S5, as shown in Figures 15 and 16, photoresist 70 is continuously applied to the first sealing layer 50, the display panel 100 is exposed and developed, and the film layer in some pixel openings 61 is removed by photolithography, and then the remaining photoresist 70 is peeled off and the above deposition process is repeated, thereby forming light-emitting units 30 of different colors in adjacent pixel openings 61, thereby meeting multiple different display needs and obtaining the final display panel 100.
[0108] The embodiments of the present application provide a display panel, a display device, and a manufacturing method for a display panel, by providing a first sealing layer on the light emitting unit, the first sealing layer can fully cover the light emitting unit, and a part of the edge of the first sealing layer protruding from the light emitting unit can be fully overlapped and connected between the light emitting unit and the isolation structure, so as to fully overlap and connect the first sealing layer and the film layer at its bottom, thereby avoiding the occurrence of a gap between the first sealing layer and the film layer overlapped and connected, preventing the subsequent etching solution from entering the light emitting unit through the gap and damaging the light emitting unit, improving the sealing performance of the first sealing layer, improving the sealing ability of the first sealing layer, forming a better sealing protection for the light emitting unit, improving the safety performance of the light emitting unit, and providing a reliable guarantee for the stable emission of the entire display panel.
