[0030] According to an embodiment of the present application, a display terminal including the above-mentioned display panel is further provided. Each of the embodiments will be described in detail below. Note that the order of the following description of the embodiments does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments. Example 1

Figs. 2 and 3 show plan views of the same portion of the display panel, and Figs. 2 and 3 selectively show different layer structures in order to more clearly explain the structure of the display panel 100.
[0032] According to an embodiment of the present application, there is provided a display panel 100 including a base 11, a first metal layer 18 provided on the base 11, and a second metal layer 20 provided on the first metal layer 18, where the first metal layer 18 includes a plurality of data lines 182 extending along a first direction X and sources 181 of thin film transistors 101 electrically connected to the data lines 182, and the second metal layer 20 includes drains 201 of the thin film transistors 101 located between two adjacent data lines 182.
[0033] Specifically, the display panel 100 includes a base 11, a first metal layer 18 provided on the base 11, and a second metal layer 20 provided on the first metal layer 18, and a corresponding insulating layer is further provided between the first metal layer 18 and the second metal layer 20, which will be described in detail in the examples described below.
[0034] Specifically, the base 11 may be a material such as glass, but is not limited thereto.
[0035] Specifically, the first metal layer 18 includes a plurality of data lines 182 extending along the first direction X, and a source 181 of the thin film transistor 101 electrically connected to the data line 182. In FIG. 2, the source 181 is a part of the data line 182, but is not limited thereto. For example, the source 181 is a protruding part of the data line 182.
[0036] Specifically, the source 181 is electrically connected to the data line 182, and the second metal layer 20 includes a drain 201 of the thin film transistor 101 located between two adjacent data lines 182. The drain 201 and the source 181 are metal layers of different layers.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the data line 182, the source 181 and the drain 201 are located in the first metal layer 18 and the second metal layer 20, respectively, the drain 201 is located between two adjacent data lines 182, and the drain 201 and the data line 182 are located in different layers. Compared with the prior art in which the drain 201 and the data line 182 are located in the same layer, there is no problem of restrictions on the etching process (in the prior art, the drain 201 and the data line 182 are located in the same metal layer, and a large distance needs to be maintained between the drain 201 and the data line 182 to avoid short circuits caused by etching residues and to avoid excessively large parasitic capacitance), so that the distance between the drain 201 and the data line 182 is reduced and the parasitic capacitance between the drain 201 and the data line 182 is reduced, so that the two adjacent data lines 182 can be arranged closer to each other, and the size of the sub-pixel can be reduced, thereby improving the resolution of the display panel 100. Example 2
[0038] This embodiment is the same as or similar to the first embodiment, but differs from the first embodiment in that it further limits the characteristics of the display panel 100. Please refer to FIGS.
[0039] In some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes a third metal layer 16 disposed between the base 11 and the first metal layer 18, and a semiconductor layer 14 disposed between the first metal layer 18 and the base 11, where the third metal layer 16 includes a scan line 162 extending along the second direction Y, and the semiconductor layer 14 includes a plurality of active members 141 of a plurality of thin film transistors 101, where the active member 141 includes a source end 1411 and a drain end 1412, and a source end 1411 and an active connecting member 1414 connected between the source end 1411 and the drain end 1412, where a first direction X is different from a second direction Y, the source end 1411 and the drain end 1412 are located on both sides of the corresponding scan line 162, the active connecting member 1414 extends at least along a third direction Z which is different from the first direction X and the second direction Y, the source 181 is electrically connected to the source end 1411, and the drain 201 is electrically connected to the drain end 1412.
[0040] Specifically, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z all refer to directions on the same plane, and all refer to directions parallel to the plane of the base 11.
[0041] Specifically, the material of the semiconductor layer 14 may be, but is not limited to, polycrystalline silicon. The active member 141 is a portion of the semiconductor layer 14 corresponding to one thin film transistor 101. The source end 1411 and the drain end 1412 are redoped regions in the active member 141, the source end 1411 being the source region of the active member 141, and the drain end 1412 being the drain region of the active member 141.
[0042] Specifically, the plurality of data lines 182 extend along a first direction X, and the plurality of scan lines 162 extend along a second direction Y, where the first direction X is different from the second direction Y, i.e., the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y. Preferably or optionally, the first direction X and the second direction Y are mutually perpendicular.
[0043] Specifically, the active member 141 includes a source end 1411 and a drain end 1412, and an active connecting member 1414 connected between the source end 1411 and the drain end 1412, where the source end 1411 and the drain end 1412 are located on both sides of the corresponding scan line 162, and the active connecting member 1414 extends at least along the third direction Z. In FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the orthogonal projection of the active connecting member 1414 on the base 11 and the orthogonal projection of the scan line 162 on the base intersect so that the source end 1411 and the drain end 1412 are located on both sides of the corresponding scan line 162, and compared with the case where the source end 1411 and the drain end 1412 are located on one side of the corresponding scan line 162, the width of the sub-pixel in the first direction X and / or the second direction Y can be reduced, thereby improving the resolution of the display panel.
[0044] Specifically, the active connection member 1414 extends along a third direction Z that is different from at least the first direction X and the second direction Y. That is, the third direction Z is inclined with respect to the first direction X and is inclined with respect to the second direction Y.
[0045] Specifically, the portion where the scanning line 162 and the active connecting member 1414 are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the base 11 is the gate 161, that is, the gate 161 may be a part of the scanning line 162, but is not limited thereto. For example, the gate 161 may be a protruding or extending part of the scanning line 162.
[0046] Specifically, the active connecting member 1414 extends at least along the third direction Z, and at least a portion of the drain end 1412 can be positioned between two adjacent data lines 182, so that the drain 201 can be positioned between two adjacent data lines 182 and electrically connected to the drain end 1412, thereby improving the resolution of the display panel 100.
[0047] In some embodiments, the thin film transistor 101 is a single gate structure.
[0048] Specifically, the thin film transistor 101 is of a single-gate structure, which has only one gate, and compared with the two-gate structure, the size of the sub-pixel can be made smaller, thereby improving the resolution of the display panel 100 .
[0049] Specifically, in any of the above display panels 100, the thin film transistor 101 has a single-gate structure, that is, the orthogonal projection of the active connecting member 1414 on the base 11 and the orthogonal projection of the scan line 162 on the base intersect once, so that the width of the sub-pixel in the first direction X and / or the second direction Y is small, thereby improving the resolution of the display panel.
[0050] In some embodiments, the angle α between the third direction Z and the first direction X is greater than or equal to 5 degrees and less than or equal to 15 degrees.
[0051] Specifically, by making the angle α between the third direction Z and the first direction X greater than or equal to 5 degrees, the orthogonal projection of the drain end 1412 on the base 11 and the orthogonal projection of the drain 201 on the base at least partially overlap, which is convenient for electrically connecting the drain 201 to the drain end 1412 via the second through hole 106 described in the embodiment described later.
[0052] In some embodiments, the angle α between the third direction Z and the first direction X is 7 degrees.
[0053] Specifically, the angle α between the third direction Z and the first direction X is preferably 7 degrees, which can ensure that the active component 141 of the thin film transistor 101 has a channel 1413 with an appropriate aspect ratio, and can also ensure good electrical connection performance between the drain 201 and the drain end 1412, which is suitable for high-resolution display panels.
[0054] In some embodiments, in any of the above display panels 100, the display panel 100 includes a plurality of sub-pixels 110, each of which includes a first sub-pixel 111 and a second sub-pixel 112 located on either side of a scanning line 162, and a gap 113 is provided between the pixel electrode 211 of the first sub-pixel 111 and the pixel electrode 211 of the second sub-pixel 112, corresponding to the scanning line 162.
[0055] Specifically, there is a gap 113 between the pixel electrode 211 of the first sub-pixel 111 and the pixel electrode 211 of the second sub-pixel 112. In other words, the pixel electrode 211 of the first sub-pixel 111 and the pixel electrode 211 of the second sub-pixel 112 correspond to each other or are spaced apart by the gap 113, and the pixel electrode 211 of the first sub-pixel 111 and the pixel electrode 211 of the second sub-pixel 112 do not need to extend to the other side of the corresponding scan line 162. This allows the shielding width of the black matrix (BM) on the color film substrate to be reduced, thereby improving the aperture ratio and helping to improve the resolution of the display panel. Example 3
[0056] This embodiment may be the same as or similar to any of the display panels 100 of the above embodiments, but differs in that the characteristics of the display panel 100 are further defined.
[0057] Referring to Figures 1, 4, 5, and 6, Figure 4 is a second partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 is a third partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application, and Figure 6 is a fourth partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the display panel 100 further includes a gate insulating layer 15, a first insulating layer 17, and a second insulating layer 19. The gate insulating layer 15 is provided between the semiconductor layer 14 and the third metal layer 16, the first insulating layer 17 is provided between the third metal layer 16 and the first metal layer 18, and the second insulating layer 19 is provided between the first metal layer 18 and the second metal layer 20. Here, the display panel 100 further includes a first through hole 105 penetrating the gate insulating layer 15 and the first insulating layer 17, and a second through hole 106 penetrating the gate insulating layer 15, the first insulating layer 17, and the second insulating layer 19, and the source 181 is electrically connected to the source end 1411 through the first through hole 105, and the drain 201 is electrically connected to the drain end 1412 through the second through hole 106.
[0059] Specifically, the material of the first insulating layer 17 and the second insulating layer 19 may include an inorganic material or an organic material. For example, the material of the first insulating layer 17 and the second insulating layer 19 may include, but is not limited to, silicon nitride and / or silicon oxide.
[0060] Specifically, the drain 201 is electrically connected to the drain end 1412 via the second through hole 106, thereby realizing an electrical connection between the drain 201 and the thin film transistor 101.
[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the display panel 100 further includes a first electrode layer 21 provided on the first metal layer 18, a fourth insulating layer 22 provided on the first electrode layer 21, and a second electrode layer 23 provided on the fourth insulating layer 22, and one of the first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 23 includes a pixel electrode 211 of the subpixel 110.
[0062] Specifically, when the display panel 100 is a liquid crystal display panel, the first electrode layer 21 may include a pixel electrode 211, and the second electrode layer 23 may include a common electrode 231. Or, when the display panel 100 is a liquid crystal display panel, the first electrode layer 21 may include a common electrode, and the second electrode layer 23 may include a pixel electrode. Both of these two cases have the beneficial effects of the above embodiment.
[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, the first electrode layer 21 includes a pixel electrode 211 of the sub-pixel that is directly connected to the drain 201.
[0064] Specifically, the first electrode layer 21 includes a pixel electrode 211 of a sub-pixel directly connected to the drain 201. In this case, the first electrode layer 21 can be directly manufactured after manufacturing the second metal layer 20, and there is no need to provide an insulating layer between the first electrode layer 21 and the second metal layer 20, which has the effect of simplifying the process.
[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 , the display panel 100 further includes a third insulating layer 25 disposed between the second insulating layer 19 and the second metal layer 20, where the second insulating layer 19 is an organic material and the third insulating layer 25 is an inorganic material, and the second through hole 106 further penetrates the third insulating layer 25.
[0066] Specifically, the third insulating layer 25 is provided between the second insulating layer 19 and the second metal layer 20, the second insulating layer 19 is an organic material, and the third insulating layer 25 is an inorganic material. In the process of forming the second through hole 106, the third insulating layer 25 and the second insulating layer 19 are etched in the same process. The third insulating layer 25 plays a role in protecting the second insulating layer 19, preventing the second insulating layer 19, which is an organic material, from being over-etched, thereby avoiding the formation of an undercut structure, and improving the connection reliability between the drain 201 and the drain end 1412.
[0067] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 , the display panel 100 further includes a third electrode layer 26 disposed between the second insulating layer 19 and the third insulating layer 25, and the third electrode layer 26 includes a plurality of storage electrodes 261 at least partially overlapping the pixel electrodes 211.
[0068] Specifically, the storage electrode 261 and the pixel electrode 211 at least partially overlap, ie, the orthogonal projection of the storage electrode 261 on the base 11 and the projection of the pixel electrode 211 on the base 11 at least partially overlap.
[0069] Specifically, since the overlapping area between the pixel electrode 211 and the common electrode in a high-resolution display panel is small and the storage capacity is insufficient, a third electrode layer 26 including a plurality of storage electrodes 261 at least partially overlapping with the pixel electrode 211 is provided, so that the storage capacity in the high-resolution display panel can be increased, the voltage stability after charging of the pixel electrode 211 is improved, and the display effect is improved.
[0070] In some embodiments, the thickness of second metal layer 20 is greater than or equal to 3500 Angstroms.
[0071] Specifically, the second through-hole 106 penetrates many film layers and has a large depth, and the thickness of the second metal layer 20 is 3,500 angstroms or more. The second metal layer 20 plays a role of filling or flattening the second through-hole 106 to a certain extent, and can provide a flat support interface for film layers such as the pixel electrode 211 described later.
[0072] In some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes a first blind hole 107 formed by recesses in the first electrode layer 21, the fourth insulating layer 22 and the second electrode layer 23 at a position corresponding to the second through hole 106, and a fifth insulating layer 24 which is an organic material filled at least in the first blind hole 107.
[0073] Specifically, the film layers of the first electrode layer 21, the fourth insulating layer 22 and the second electrode layer 23 are thin, and a first blind hole 107 is formed by a recess in the first electrode layer 21, the fourth insulating layer 22 and the second electrode layer 23 at a portion corresponding to the second through hole 106, and a fifth insulating layer 24 made of an organic material is provided. The fifth insulating layer 24 can fill the first blind hole 107 flatly. When the display panel 100 is a liquid crystal display panel, this provides a flat interface for the liquid crystal layer 301 provided on the fifth insulating layer 24, and helps to maintain the uniformity of the liquid crystal case thickness of the display panel 100.
[0074] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6 , the display panel 100 further includes a color film substrate 30 including a substrate 31 and a support pillar 32 provided on the substrate 31, where the support pillar 32 is located between the substrate 31 and the base 11, and the orthogonal projection of the support pillar 32 on the base 11 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the fifth insulating layer 24 on the base 11.
[0075] Specifically, since the fifth insulating layer 24 is an organic material, the thickness of the fifth insulating layer 24 varies to a certain extent, and by ensuring that the orthogonal projection of the support pillar 32 on the base 11 and the orthogonal projection of the fifth insulating layer 24 on the base 11 do not overlap, unevenness in the thickness of the liquid crystal case of the display panel 100 can be avoided.
[0076] In addition, in any of the display panels 100 of the above embodiments, the display panel 100 may include a display area AA and a non-display area BB that at least partially surrounds the display area AA, and the thin film transistor 101 in the above embodiments may be provided in the display area AA or in the non-display area BB. The third metal layer 16, the first metal layer 18, the second metal layer 20, the first electrode layer 21, and the second electrode layer 23 may simultaneously function as wiring, a connection electrode, a bridge electrode, etc. in the non-display area BB, for example, the third metal layer 16 includes a common wiring 163, the second metal layer 20 includes a connection electrode 202, and the second electrode layer 23 includes a peripheral common electrode 232 electrically connected to the common wiring 163 via the connection electrode 202, and are not limited here.
[0077] In addition, in the display panel 100 of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, when forming the first through hole 105, the portion of the first insulating layer 17 corresponding to the first through hole 105 is entirely etched, the portion of the first insulating layer 17 corresponding to the second through hole 106 is only partially etched, and the portion of the first insulating layer 17 corresponding to the second through hole 106 is partially reserved to protect the drain end 1412. In addition, when forming the second through hole 106, the reserved portion of the first insulating layer 17 and the portion of the second insulating layer 19 corresponding to the second through hole 106 are simultaneously etched, or the reserved portion of the first insulating layer 17 and the portions of the second insulating layer 19 and the third insulating layer 25 corresponding to the second through hole 106 are simultaneously etched.
