[0017] As users increasingly demand larger display sizes, the problem of narrower frame sizes of display panels becomes more pronounced. In related art, the frame position of a display panel typically requires the placement of multiple types of circuit configurations to ensure proper operation of the display panel. The presence of these circuit configurations makes it difficult to reduce the frame size of a display panel. Forcibly reducing the frame size can result in display anomalies and degradation of display image quality.

[0018] 1 to 3 , in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel having a first area A1, the display panel including a substrate 10, an isolation structure 20, a light-emitting functional layer, and a first signal line 60, the isolation structure 20 being disposed on one side of the substrate 10 and surrounding the isolation structure 20 to form a plurality of spaced apart aperture structures 21, the light-emitting functional layer being disposed on one side of the substrate 10 and located at least in the first area A1, the light-emitting functional layer including a plurality of light-emitting structures 31 disposed in the plurality of aperture structures 21 respectively, with at least one light-emitting structure 31 in each aperture structure 21. For example, one light-emitting structure 31 may be disposed in each aperture structure 21, or multiple light-emitting structures 31 of the same emission color may be disposed in each aperture structure 21.

[0019] The first signal line 60 is located on one side of the isolation structure 20 along a first direction X, and the first signal line 60 is electrically connected to the isolation structure 20, and the first direction X is parallel to the plane on which the substrate 10 is located.

[0020] The display panel further includes a second region A2 in addition to a first region A1. The first region A1 is a display region for realizing a display effect on the display panel, and the second region A2 is a non-display region surrounding the outer periphery of the first region A1 and is mainly used for arranging driving circuits for the display panel. The size and shape of the first region A1 and the second region A2 are not limited to the embodiments of the present application. For example, the first region A1 may have a rectangular structure, and the second region A2 may have a square-ring structure.

[0021] The substrate 10 mainly functions as a support, and the other film layers are sequentially stacked on the substrate 10, where "stacked" refers to the other film layers being sequentially stacked along the thickness direction Z of the substrate 10. Here, the substrate 10 may include multiple film layer structures, and the specific film layer structure of the substrate 10 is not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application. Note that the thickness direction Z of the other film layers located on one side of the substrate 10 generally coincides with the thickness direction Z of the substrate 10 itself, and therefore, for convenience of explanation, the thickness direction Z of the substrate 10 or the thickness direction Z of the other film layers in the following embodiments of the present application will be shown as the same direction.

[0022] The light-emitting functional layer and the isolation structure 20 are located on the same side of the substrate 10. The light-emitting functional layer is located in the first region A1 and includes a plurality of light-emitting structures 31, which are main devices for realizing light-emitting display. Here, the light-emitting structures 31 include, but are not limited to, a red light-emitting structure 31 for emitting red light, a green light-emitting structure 31 for emitting green light, and a blue light-emitting structure 31 for emitting blue light. Each light-emitting structure 31 may include a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), a light-emitting layer, an electron injection layer (EIL), and an electron transport layer (ETL), which are stacked one on the other.

[0023] Optionally, the display panel may further include a first electrode layer 40 located on a side of the light-emitting functional layer away from the substrate 10. The display panel may further include a second electrode layer 50 located on a side of the light-emitting functional layer facing the substrate 10, the first electrode layer 40 being provided with a first electrode 41, the second electrode layer 50 being provided with a second electrode 51, the number of the second electrodes 51 being plural, the plural second electrodes 51 being provided corresponding to the light-emitting structures 31, the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 51 jointly driving and controlling whether the light-emitting structures 31 emit light. Exemplarily, the first electrode 41 is a cathode, and the second electrode 51 is an anode.

[0024] The isolation structure 20 can surround and form a plurality of aperture structures 21, and for example, the orthogonal projection of the isolation structure 20 on the substrate 10 presents a mesh structure. The plurality of light-emitting structures 31 are respectively disposed within the plurality of aperture structures 21, i.e., the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting structure 31 on the substrate 10 corresponds to the orthogonal projection of the aperture structure 21 on the substrate 10, and the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting structure 31 on the substrate 10 is at least partially located within the orthogonal projection of the aperture structure 21 on the substrate 10. Furthermore, the presence of the isolation structure 20 can cancel out a precise metal mask during the manufacturing process of the light-emitting functional layer.

[0025] Specifically, taking the example of manufacturing the red light-emitting structure 31 before the green light-emitting structure 31, in order to cancel out the precision metal mask, the red light-emitting material corresponding to the red light-emitting structure 31 is first dropped into each opening structure 21, and then the red light-emitting material in some of the opening structures 21 is selectively etched away, and the red light-emitting material in some of the opening structures 21 is reserved to form the red light-emitting structure 31. Then, the green light-emitting material corresponding to the green light-emitting structure 31 is dropped into each opening structure 21, and then the green light-emitting material in some of the opening structures 21 is selectively etched away, and the green light-emitting material in some of the opening structures 21 is reserved to form the green light-emitting structure 31.

[0026] Similarly, due to the presence of the isolation structure 20, the first electrode layer 40 may include a plurality of first electrodes 41 each arranged within the opening structure 21, i.e., the plurality of first electrodes 41 may be arranged corresponding to a plurality of light-emitting structures 31 to realize driving control for the light-emitting structures 31.

[0027] Further optionally, the first electrode 41 may be provided in electrical communication with the isolation structure 20, i.e., the isolation structure 20 may include a conductive material, and the first electrode 41 and the conductive material in the isolation structure 20 may be in communication with each other. In such a design, a power signal corresponding to the first electrode 41 may be transmitted through the isolation structure 20 into the first electrode 41 as required for the power signal transmission.

[0028] It should be noted that the conductive material to be electrically connected to the first electrodes 41 in the isolation structure 20 may be provided continuously, i.e., each first electrode 41 may transmit the same power signal through the isolation structure 20. Alternatively, the conductive material to be electrically connected to the first electrodes 41 in the isolation structure 20 may be provided discontinuously or insulated from each other, i.e., at least some different first electrodes 41 may receive or transmit power signals of different voltage values ​​through the isolation structure 20, thereby realizing independent or partitioned control of the light emitting structures 31, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0029] The display panel further includes a first signal line 60 for transmitting a specific signal. In the related art, a partial structure of the first signal line 60 located in the second region A2 needs to be annular and surround the outer periphery of the first region A1 so that signals in the first signal line 60 can be transmitted to different positions in the first region A1 and help reduce voltage drop. However, such a design causes the first signal line 60 to occupy an excessive size at the frame position of the display panel, which is disadvantageous for achieving a narrow frame effect.

[0030] In the present embodiment, the first signal line 60 is located on one side of the first region A1 along the first direction X without surrounding the first region A1, and transmits signals to different positions in the first region A1 via the isolation structure 20. Specifically, the isolation structure 20 is stretched throughout each position in the first region A1, and a conductive material for transmitting a specific signal is provided within the isolation structure 20.

[0031] Therefore, the first signal line 60 does not need to be arranged to surround each first area A1, but only needs to be arranged on one side of the isolation structure 20 in the first direction X and electrically connected to the isolation structure 20. In this way, the power signal located in the first signal line 60 can be transmitted to different positions in each first area A1 via the isolation structure 20, thereby satisfying the need for signal transmission. Furthermore, because the first signal line 60 is located on one side of the isolation structure 20 in the first direction X and does not have a ring structure, it contributes to reducing the frame size of the display panel and improving the display effect.

[0032] The specific wiring form of the first signal lines 60 is not limited to the embodiment of the present application. Depending on the actual situation, the first signal lines 60 may be located entirely on one side of the isolation structure 20 along the first direction X, or a small number of first signal lines 60 may be located on the other side of the isolation structure 20 along a different direction, as long as most of the first signal lines 60 are located on the same side of the isolation structure 20.

[0033] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the isolation structure 20 includes a first isolation portion 22 and a second isolation portion 23 that are stacked sequentially along a direction away from the substrate 10, and the orthogonal projection of the first isolation portion 22 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the second isolation portion 23 on the substrate 10.

[0034] The specific sizes and shapes of the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the vertical cross section of the isolation structure 20 may be T-shaped. This design helps prevent the light emitting material and electrode material from extending along the sidewall of the first isolation portion 22 to the sidewall of the second isolation portion 23 during the manufacturing process of the light emitting functional layer and the first electrode layer 40, thereby realizing the manufacturing and mutual isolation of the light emitting structures 31 and the first electrodes 41 in different opening structures 21 without the need for a precise metal mask.

[0035] The material compositions of the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Both the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 may include a conductive material, or the first isolation portion 22 may include a conductive material and the second isolation portion 23 may include an insulating material, as long as the first electrode 41 can transmit a signal through the isolation structure 20.

[0036] Furthermore, at least a portion of the first signal line 60 may be located within the second region A2, and the first signal line 60 may be located entirely within the second region A2, or the first signal line 60 may extend partially within the first region A1. Similarly, the isolation structure 20 may be located entirely within the first region A1, or the isolation structure 20 may extend partially within the second region A2, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0037] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a first electrode layer 40 located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer away from the substrate 10, the first electrode layer 40 including a plurality of first electrodes 41 arranged within a plurality of opening structures 21, and the first electrodes 41 are arranged in electrical connection with the first signal line 60 via the isolation structure 20.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first signal line 60 is not directly connected to the first electrodes 41 but transmits power signals to each first electrode 41 via the isolation structure 20. Specifically, the isolation structure 20 itself is provided corresponding to each first electrode 41, enabling signal transmission therebetween. Therefore, the first signal line 60 does not need to extend to the position of each first electrode 41; that is, the first signal line 60 does not need to be provided so as to surround each first electrode 41. Instead, the first signal line 60 only needs to be provided on one side of the isolation structure 20 in the first direction X and electrically connected to the isolation structure 20. In this way, the power signal within the first signal line 60 can be transmitted to each first electrode 41 via the isolation structure 20, thereby satisfying the signal transmission needs. Furthermore, because the first signal line 60 is provided on one side of the isolation structure 20 in the first direction X and is not a ring-shaped structure, it contributes to reducing the frame size of the display panel and improving the display effect.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first isolation portion 22 comprises a conductive material, and the first electrode 41 is provided in electrical connection with the first isolation portion 22 .

[0040] The first signal line 60 can transmit a power signal to the first electrode 41 via the first isolation portion 22, where the first electrode 41 may be in direct contact with the first isolation portion 22, or the first electrode 41 may be electrically connected to the first isolation portion 22 via another conductive structure, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0041] In this embodiment, by disposing a conductive material within the first isolation portion 22, the first signal line 60 can transmit a power signal to the first electrode 41 via the first isolation portion 22, thereby satisfying the need for signal transmission. Furthermore, by providing an extension path for the first isolation portion 22 within the first area A1, the first isolation portion 22 can extend to the range of each region in the first area A1. Therefore, the first signal line 60 only needs to be disposed on one side of the isolation structure 20 along the first direction X, and there is no need for the first signal line 60 to be disposed so as to surround the first area A1, thereby reducing the frame size of the display panel.

[0042] The positional relationship between the first signal line 60 and the first isolation portion 22 is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. In some examples, at least a portion of the first signal line 60 may contact the first isolation portion 22, i.e., the power signal in at least a portion of the first signal line 60 may be directly transmitted into the first isolation portion 22. Furthermore, if the isolation structure 20 further includes another conductive structure electrically connected to the first isolation portion 22, the first signal line 60 may contact the other conductive structure.

[0043] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the isolation structure 20 further includes a third isolation portion 24 located on the side of the first isolation portion 22 facing the substrate 10, the third isolation portion 24 including a conductive material and electrically connected to the first isolation portion 22.

[0044] The isolation structure 20 includes at least a first isolation portion 22, a second isolation portion 23, and a third isolation portion 24, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the sizes and shapes of the first isolation portion 22, the second isolation portion 23, and the third isolation portion 24. For example, the orthogonal projection of the first isolation portion 22 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the third isolation portion 24 on the substrate 10, i.e., the vertical cross-sectional shapes of the first isolation portion 22, the second isolation portion 23, and the third isolation portion 24 are U-shaped.

[0045] Similar to the first isolation portion 22, the third isolation portion 24 also includes a conductive material, and the first electrode 41 can be in direct contact with the third isolation portion 24 to achieve electrical connection with the first isolation portion 22 through the third isolation portion 24. Optionally, the first electrode 41 is connected to the third isolation portion 24 in an overlapping manner. Furthermore, the first electrode 41 may be partially located on the side of the third isolation portion 24 that is away from the substrate 10, and the provision of the third isolation portion 24 helps to improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the first electrode 41 and the isolation structure 20.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second isolation portion 23 comprises a conductive material.

[0047] Similar to the first isolation portion 22, the second isolation portion 23 also includes a conductive material, i.e., the second isolation portion 23 may be used to realize a signal transmission function, where the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 may be electrically connected to each other, i.e., the second isolation portion 23 may be used to transmit a power signal, or the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 may be insulated from each other, i.e., the second isolation portion 23 may not be used to transmit a power signal, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0048] Further optionally, the first isolation portion 22 is provided in electrical connection with the second isolation portion 23 , and at least a portion of the first signal line 60 is provided in contact with the second isolation portion 23 .

[0049] In this case, the first isolation portion 22 may be provided in direct contact with the second isolation portion 23, and in this case, the same electrical signal is transmitted to the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23. In this case, the first signal line 60 and the second isolation portion 23 can be connected in contact with each other, and the power signal in the first signal line 60 is transmitted to the first isolation portion 22 via the second isolation portion 23, and then transmitted to the first electrode 41 via the first isolation portion 22, thereby satisfying the need for transmitting the power signal.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 5, the isolation structure 20 further includes a first insulating portion 25 disposed between the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 .

[0051] The size of the first insulating portion 25 relative to the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the orthogonal projection of the first isolation portion 22 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the first insulating portion 25 on the substrate 10, and the orthogonal projection of the first insulating portion 25 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the second isolation portion 23 on the substrate 10. This further reduces the risk of the light-emitting material and the electrode material extending from the sidewall of the first isolation portion 22 to the sidewall of the second isolation portion 23, which helps to improve the reliability of manufacturing the display panel.

[0052] Due to the presence of the first insulating portion 25, the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 are insulated from each other, and the power signal in the first isolation portion 22 is not transmitted to the second isolation portion 23. Based on this, the display panel can transmit other types of signals through the second isolation portion 23, which helps reduce the number of internal wirings of the display panel and ease the difficulty of wiring design. Optionally, the second isolation portion 23 may be used for touch signals.

[0053] In some embodiments, the etch selectivity of the first isolation portions 22 relative to the second isolation portions 23 is greater than one.

[0054] The etching selectivity ratio refers to the relative etching rate of one material to another material under the same etching conditions. Since the etching selectivity ratio of the first isolation portion 22 to the second isolation portion 23 is greater than 1, the etching rate corresponding to the first isolation portion 22 is greater than the etching rate of the second isolation portion 23 under the same etching conditions.

[0055] Based on this, the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 can be manufactured and formed using the same etching process, thereby reducing the manufacturing process of the display panel and improving manufacturing efficiency. After manufacturing is completed, the orthogonal projection of the first isolation portion 22 on the substrate 10 can be positioned within the orthogonal projection of the second isolation portion 23 on the substrate 10, making it more practical.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the display panel further includes a second region A2, which is arranged to surround the periphery of the first region A1, and the display panel further includes a driving chip IC arranged in the second region A2 and located on one side of the isolation structure 20 along the first direction X, and the first signal line 60 is electrically connected to the driving chip IC.

[0057] The driver chip IC is a driving control element and can control the first electrode 41. Furthermore, the driver chip IC is located in the second area A2 and on one side of the isolation structure 20 in the first direction X. Based on this, to realize the electrical connection between the driver chip IC and the first electrode 41, the embodiment of the present application adds a first signal line 60 between the driver chip IC and the isolation structure 20. The first signal line 60 is located between the driver chip IC and the isolation structure 20 in the first direction X. The driver chip IC transmits a corresponding power signal to the first signal line 60, and then transmits it to the isolation structure 20 via the first signal line 60. Finally, the isolation structure 20 transmits the power signal to the first electrode 41 to realize the driving control of the first electrode 41.

[0058] 6, in some embodiments, the second region A2 includes a first sub-region A21 and a second sub-region A22 located between the driver chip IC and the isolation structure 20, the first sub-region A21 and the second sub-region A22 being arranged side by side in the second direction Y, and the first direction X intersecting with the second direction Y. Here, the first signal line 60 located in the first sub-region A21 and the first signal line 60 located in the second sub-region A22 are insulated from each other.

[0059] The first sub-region A21 and the second sub-region A22 are both located between the driver chip IC and the isolation structure 20. The specific positional relationship between the first sub-region A21 and the second sub-region A22 is not limited to the embodiment of the present application, as long as the first sub-region A21 and the second sub-region A22 are arranged side by side in the second direction Y. Optionally, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0060] A first signal line 60 is provided in both the first sub-region A21 and the second sub-region A22, and only one first signal line 60 may be provided in the first sub-region A21, or multiple first signal lines 60 may be provided in the first sub-region A21. Similarly, only one first signal line 60 may be provided in the second sub-region A22, or multiple first signal lines 60 may be provided in the second sub-region A22.

[0061] As can be seen from the above, the first signal lines 60 are electrically connected to the isolation structure 20 so as to achieve electrical connection with the first electrodes 41 via the isolation structure 20. Based on this, the first signal lines 60 located in the first sub-region A21 and the first signal lines 60 located in the second sub-region A22 are insulated from each other; that is, the partial structure of the isolation structure 20 for electrically connecting to the first signal lines 60 in the first sub-region A21 and the partial structure of the isolation structure 20 for electrically connecting to the first signal lines 60 in the second sub-region A22 are insulated from each other. In this way, the first signal lines 60 located in the first sub-region A21 and the first signal lines 60 located in the second sub-region A22 can separately control different first electrodes 41, which helps to improve control accuracy.

[0062] 6 , the isolation structure 20 includes a first isolation structure 26 and a second isolation structure 27 that are isolated from each other and located in different sub-regions of the first region A1. The first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27 have different resistances within the same orthogonal projection area, and different first signal lines 60 are electrically connected to the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27, respectively.

[0063] The first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27 are provided to be insulated from each other, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the size and shape of the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27. For example, the first isolation structure 26 may have a stripe-like or mesh-like structure, and the second isolation structure 27 may have a similar structure.

[0064] Due to factors such as differences in the extension length and shape of the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27, the electrical resistance corresponding to the first isolation structure 26 is different from the electrical resistance corresponding to the second isolation structure 27. Based on this, when power signals of the same voltage are input to the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27, the power signals received by the different first electrodes 41 corresponding to the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27 will have different magnitudes, which is likely to cause problems such as display unevenness on the display panel and is detrimental to the display effect.

[0065] Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, different first signal lines 60 are installed to be electrically connected to the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27, respectively, and the driving chip IC can control the different first signal lines 60 according to the magnitude of the resistance of the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27 to input different voltages to the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27, so that the different first electrodes 41 corresponding to the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27 can receive accurate voltage signals, thereby improving the control accuracy of the first electrodes 41 and improving display uniformity.

[0066] The resistance relationship between the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27 is not limited to this embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27 have different orthogonal projection areas on the substrate 10, and therefore have different resistance values. Specifically, the larger the orthogonal projection area on the substrate 10, the higher the corresponding resistance value, and the smaller the orthogonal projection area on the substrate 10, the lower the corresponding resistance value.

[0067] In some other embodiments, the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27 have different cross-sectional sizes, resulting in different resistances between them. Specifically, a larger cross-sectional size typically results in a lower resistance, and a smaller cross-sectional size typically results in a higher resistance.

[0068] Furthermore, the insulating manner between the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27 is not limited to the embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the first isolation structure 26 is spaced apart from the second isolation structure 27. Optionally, the isolation structure 20 further includes an insulating structure 28 located between the first isolation structure 26 and the second isolation structure 27.

[0069] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the display panel further includes a first sealing layer 71 provided on the side of the first electrode layer 40 away from the substrate 10, and the first sealing layer 71 includes a plurality of first sealing portions 711 each provided within the opening structure 21.

[0070] The first encapsulating layer 71 is located on the side of the first electrode layer 40 away from the substrate 10, i.e., on the light-emitting surface side of the light-emitting structure 31. The first encapsulating layer 71 may serve as a protective encapsulation for the light-emitting structure 31. Due to the presence of the isolation structure 20, the manufactured first encapsulating layer 71 may have multiple first encapsulating portions 711 corresponding to the light-emitting structures 31 and located within the opening structure 21, and each first encapsulating portion 711 serves to independently encapsulate each light-emitting structure 31, thereby improving the encapsulation and protection effect for the light-emitting structure 31.

[0071] The present embodiment is not limited to a material composition of the first sealing layer 71. Illustratively, the first sealing layer 71 includes an inorganic material.

[0072] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a second sealing layer 72 located on the side of the first sealing layer 71 facing away from the substrate 10, and a third sealing layer 73 located on the side of the second sealing layer 72 facing away from the substrate 10.

[0073] The first encapsulating layer 71, the second encapsulating layer 72, and the third encapsulating layer 73 can collectively form a thin-film encapsulation structure, which further reduces the risk of moisture, oxygen, etc. penetrating into the light-emitting structure 31 and improves the reliability of the display panel. The material compositions of the second encapsulating layer 72 and the third encapsulating layer 73 are not limited to those in the embodiments of the present application. Optionally, the first encapsulating layer 71 and the third encapsulating layer 73 can both include an inorganic material, and the second encapsulating layer 72 can include an organic material. In this way, the first encapsulating layer 71 and the second encapsulating layer 72 can serve to a certain extent as a positional constraint for the second encapsulating layer 72, thereby improving the reliability of the structure.

[0074] Unlike the first encapsulation layer 71, the second encapsulation layer 72 and the third encapsulation layer 73 may be full-surface structures, i.e., the orthogonal projection of the second encapsulation layer 72 on the substrate 10 and the orthogonal projection of the multiple light-emitting structures 31 on the substrate 10 may be simultaneously covered by the second encapsulation layer 72.

[0075] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 7, the display panel further includes a blocking portion 90 arranged in the second region A2, and the blocking portion 90 is arranged so that the orthogonal projection of the structure on the substrate 10 located on both sides of the first region A1 along the second direction Y does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the first signal line 60 on the substrate 10, and the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y.

[0076] The blocking portion 90 is located in the second region A2, and is usually located at the edge position of the display panel. As can be seen from the above, the second sealing layer 72 contains an organic material, and the organic material contained in the second sealing layer 72 usually has a certain fluidity. In order to reduce the risk of the organic material in the second sealing layer 72 overflowing, the blocking portion 90 is usually provided at the edge position of the display panel. The presence of the blocking portion 90 can reduce the risk of overflow and improve the reliability of the display panel.

[0077] For example, the second region A2 includes left and right frames and a lower frame, and when the first signal line 60 is located in the lower frame and is not provided in the left and right frames, the second region A2 is provided so that the orthogonal projection of the blocking portion 90 located in the left and right frames on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the first signal line 60 on the substrate 10.

[0078] Furthermore, because the first signal line 60 is located on one side of the isolation structure 20 only in the first direction X and is not arranged to surround the periphery of the isolation structure 20, the first signal line 60 is not present in some positions in the second region A2, for example, in local regions in the second region A2 located on both sides of the first region A1 along the second direction Y. Based on this, the orthogonal projection on the substrate 10 of the structure in which the blocking portions 90 are located on both sides of the first region A1 along the second direction Y is distributed at a position offset from the orthogonal projection on the substrate 10 of the first signal line 60, i.e., the first signal line 60 does not affect the layout design of the blocking portions 90, which helps to reduce the risk of physical interference between them.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first sealing layer 71 and the blocking portion 90 are provided so that their orthogonal projections on the substrate 10 do not overlap.

[0080] Due to the presence of the isolation structure 20, the first sealing portion 711 of the first sealing layer 71 falls within the opening structure 21 and is provided corresponding to the light emitting structure 31. Therefore, most of the first sealing layer 71 is located within the first region A1, and the first sealing layer 71 is located near the boundary between the first region A1 and the second region A2. The second sealing layer 72 usually covers the first region A1 or more and extends into the second region A2, so that the influence of the first sealing layer 71 on the second sealing layer 72 in the second region A2 is reduced.

[0081] Based on this, the second sealing layer 72 needs to achieve positional restriction through a structure other than the first sealing layer 71 in the display panel, but since the blocking portion 90 and the first sealing layer 71 are arranged so as not to overlap on the substrate 10, the presence of the blocking portion 90 acts to restrict the position of the second sealing layer 72, thereby reducing the risk of the second sealing layer 72 overflowing.

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the third encapsulation layer 73 is located on the side of the blocking portion 90 that faces away from the substrate 10 and covers at least a portion of the structure of the blocking portion 90 .

[0083] Unlike the first sealing layer 71, the third sealing layer 73 may have an entire structure, and the third sealing layer 73 may be partially located within the second region A2. Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, the third sealing layer 73 covers at least a part of the structure of the blocking portion 90, so that the third sealing layer 73 can cooperate with the blocking portion 90 to restrict the position of the second sealing layer 72.

[0084] 8, in some embodiments, the display panel further includes a gate electrode driving circuit located in the second area A2, and at least a portion of the blocking portion 90 is located on a side of the gate electrode driving circuit away from the substrate 10. Here, the gate electrode driving circuit may include a light-emitting control circuit D2.

[0085] The display panel contains multiple other film layer structures, some of which have a certain degree of fluidity due to factors such as material composition. In order to achieve an effective blocking effect on such film layer structures, the display panel in the embodiment of the present application is further provided with a blocking section 90, which is located in the second area A2 and mainly serves to block the flow of some of the film layers away from the first area A1 of the blocking section 90, thereby improving the reliability of the internal structure of the display panel.

[0086] Typically, a fluid film layer structure itself has a certain thickness, and the thickness of this type of film layer structure gradually decreases toward the edge of the display panel. Therefore, if the blocking portion 90 is located closer to the first region A1, the size of the blocking portion 90 in the thickness direction Z must be increased to meet the blocking needs, which is disadvantageous to the overall thickness design of the display panel. Therefore, the blocking portion 90 is usually located far from the first region A1. Furthermore, in the related art, the blocking portion 90 is located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is far from the first region A1.

[0087] The gate electrode driving circuit is located in the second region A2, and the blocking portion 90 is located on the side of the gate electrode driving circuit away from the first region A1; that is, the blocking portion 90 and the gate electrode driving circuit are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart in the planar direction in which the substrate 10 is located.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, the isolation structure 20 is surrounded by a plurality of opening structures 21, and at least some of the opening structures 21 can accommodate a fluid film layer structure, so that the presence of the isolation structure 20 can reduce the thickness of some of the film layers in the second region A2. Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, the blocking portion 90 can be appropriately moved toward the first region A1 without excessively increasing its height, and at least a portion of it can be positioned away from the substrate 10 of the gate electrode driving circuit, thereby solving the problem of the excessively large distance between the blocking portion 90 and the first region A1 resulting in an excessively large frame size of the display panel, i.e., helping to reduce the frame size of the display panel and improve the display effect.

[0089] Furthermore, optionally, at least a part of the blocking portion 90 may be located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is farther away from the substrate 10.

[0090] The blocking portion 90 may be located entirely on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, or a portion of the blocking portion 90 may be located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10 and another portion of the blocking portion 90 may be located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the first region A1 ... and this is not limited to the embodiments of the present application. Here, because the light-emitting control circuit D2 itself has a certain thickness, the presence of the light-emitting control circuit D2 contributes to reducing the height of at least a portion of the blocking portion 90 that is located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, thereby reducing the material cost corresponding to the blocking portion 90 and improving practicality.

[0091] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a second encapsulation layer 72 disposed on the side of the light-emitting functional layer away from the substrate 10, the second encapsulation layer 72 including an organic material. Furthermore, the second encapsulation layer 72 may be partially located within the aperture structure 21.

[0092] The second sealing layer 72 is located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer away from the substrate 10, i.e., on the light-emitting surface side of the light-emitting structure 31. A part of the second sealing layer 72 is located in the first region A1, and another part is located in the second region A2. The second sealing layer 72 mainly serves to seal and protect the light-emitting structure 31, reducing the risk of moisture, oxygen, etc. entering the light-emitting structure 31 and improving the light-emitting reliability of the display panel.

[0093] The second sealing layer 72 contains an organic material and has a certain fluidity. However, the second sealing layer 72 can be partially positioned within the opening structure 21, so that the opening structure 21 can provide a certain overflow accommodation function for the second sealing layer 72, thereby reducing the thickness size of the second sealing layer 72 in the second region A2, and thus reducing the distance between the blocking portion 90 and the first region A1, and at least a portion of it can be positioned on the side away from the substrate 10 of the light-emitting control circuit D2, which helps to achieve a narrow-bezel display effect for the display panel.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the display panel further includes a first sealing layer 71 disposed between the second sealing layer 72 and the light-emitting functional layer, and a third sealing layer 73 located on the side of the second sealing layer 72 away from the substrate 10, and the first sealing layer 71 and the third sealing layer 73 include inorganic materials.

[0095] The first encapsulating layer 71 and the third encapsulating layer 73 are located on both sides of the second encapsulating layer 72 in the thickness direction Z, and the first encapsulating layer 71, the second encapsulating layer 72, and the third encapsulating layer 73 together form a thin film encapsulation structure to improve the encapsulation and protection effect for the light-emitting functional layer. Here, the first encapsulating layer 71 and the third encapsulating layer 73 both contain inorganic materials, and the first encapsulating layer 71 and the third encapsulating layer 73 can perform a certain positional restriction and blocking function for the second encapsulating layer 72.

[0096] Further optionally, the first sealing layer 71 includes a plurality of first sealing portions 711 each arranged within the opening structure 21, and the first sealing portions 711 and the blocking portions 90 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart in the direction in which the substrate 10 is located.

[0097] Due to the presence of the isolation structure 20, the sealing material for forming the first sealing portion 711 also falls into the opening structure 21, thereby forming a plurality of first sealing portions 711 corresponding to the opening structure 21, where different first sealing portions 711 are spaced apart from each other.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the presence of the blocking portion 90 serves to prevent overflow of the second sealing layer 72, thereby reducing the risk of the second sealing layer 72 extending away from the first region A1 of the blocking portion 90 and improving the sealing reliability of the display panel.

[0099] In some embodiments, the third sealing layer 73 is partially located on the side of the blocking portion 90 away from the substrate 10, i.e., the third sealing layer 73 can extend from the first region A1 to the second region A2 and cover at least part of the structure of the blocking portion 90.

[0100] In such a design, the blocking portion 90 cooperates with the third sealing layer 73 to jointly perform the role of limiting the position and blocking the second sealing layer 72, further reducing the risk of the second sealing layer 72 extending away from the first region A1, and improving the sealing reliability of the display panel.

[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the gate electrode driving circuit further includes a scanning driving circuit D1 located between the light emitting control circuit D2 and the first region A1, and the blocking portion 90 is located on the side of the scanning driving circuit D1 away from the first region A1, or the blocking portion 90 is located on the side of the scanning driving circuit D1 away from the substrate 10.

[0102] The scanning driving circuit D1 and the light emitting control circuit D2 may each include a multi-stage shift register cascaded to each other, which can sequentially scan the pixel circuits of each row located in the first area A1 and sequentially output an ON level to meet display needs.

[0103] The scan driving circuit D1 and the light-emitting control circuit D2 are both located in the second region A2, with the scan driving circuit D1 located closer to the first region A1 than the light-emitting control circuit D2. Because the distance between the scan driving circuit D1 and the first region A1 is short, in order to ensure the blocking effect of the blocking unit 90 against overflow into the first sealing layer 71, in this embodiment, the blocking unit 90 is further provided on the side of the scan driving circuit D1 away from the first region A1. That is, the distance between the blocking unit 90 and the first region A1 is greater than the distance between the scan driving circuit D1 and the first region A1. This ensures a constant distance between the blocking unit 90 and the first region A1, thereby improving the blocking effect of the blocking unit 90 against overflow into the first sealing layer 71 without increasing the height of the blocking unit 90.

[0104] Alternatively, if the opening structure 21 can accommodate a large amount of organic material in the first sealing layer 71, the blocking portion 90 can be located on the side of the scanning driving circuit D1 away from the substrate 10, thereby further realizing a narrower frame of the display panel and improving the display effect.

[0105] In some embodiments, the orthogonal projection of the substrate and the orthogonal projection of the light emission control circuit D2 on the substrate at least partially overlap, or the orthogonal projection of the blocking portion 90 on the substrate and the orthogonal projection of the light emission control circuit D2 on the substrate are offset and adjacent to each other.

[0106] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a second insulating portion 91 disposed between the light-emitting control circuit D2 and at least a portion of the blocking portion 90, as shown in FIG.

[0107] The second insulating portion 91 may cover at least a portion of the structure of the light-emitting control circuit D2. For example, the orthogonal projection of the second insulating portion 91 on the substrate covers the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting control circuit D2 on the substrate. As a result, after the manufacture of the light-emitting control circuit D2 is completed, the second insulating portion 91 serves to isolate the light-emitting control circuit D2 from the air. During the manufacturing process of subsequent metal layers, etc., the second insulating portion 91 serves to protect the light-emitting control circuit D2, thereby reducing the risk of over-etching of the light-emitting control circuit D2 and improving reliability.

[0108] Furthermore, the second insulating portion 91 insulates and separates the blocking portion 90 from the light-emission control circuit D2, thereby improving the operational reliability of the light-emission control circuit D2. As can be seen from the above, the blocking portion 90 may be located entirely on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, or a portion of the blocking portion 90 may be located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, and another portion of the blocking portion 90 may be located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the first region A1 of the light-emission control circuit D2. In light of this, the second insulating portion 91 may be located entirely on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, or a portion of the second insulating portion 91 may be located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, and another portion of the second insulating portion 91 may be located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the first region A1 of the light-emission control circuit D2.

[0109] When the blocking portion 90 is located on the side away from the substrate 10 of the light-emitting control circuit D2, the second insulating portion 91 can increase the distance between the blocking portion 90 and the substrate 10, thereby reducing the height size required for the blocking portion 90 and the corresponding material cost, and making it more practical.

[0110] In some alternative embodiments, the orthogonal projection of the blocking portion 90 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the second insulating portion 91 on the substrate 10. This further improves the insulating effect of the second insulating portion 91 between the blocking portion 90 and the light-emission control circuit D2, thereby improving reliability. Furthermore, the presence of the second insulating portion 91 increases the distance between the blocking portion 90 and the substrate 10, thereby reducing the height of the blocking portion 90 and reducing the material costs associated with the blocking portion 90.

[0111] Further optionally, the orthogonal projection of the blocking portion 90 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the light emission control circuit D2 on the substrate 10.

[0112] 9, in some embodiments, the second insulating portion 91 extends from the first region A1 to the second region A2, and the orthogonal projection of the second insulating portion 91 on the substrate 10 covers the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting control circuit D2 on the substrate 10. That is, the second insulating portion 91 is located in a substructure in the first region A1, and the second insulating portion 91 is integrally connected to the substructure located in the second region A2.

[0113] In the present application, by extending the second insulating portion 91 from the first region A1 into the second region A2, the second insulating portion 91 not only serves to provide insulation and isolation between different conductive structures in the first region A1, but also serves to cover and protect the light-emitting control circuit D2 in the second region A2, thereby improving the reliability of the display panel. Optionally, the second insulating portion 91 may also serve as a planarization layer, which can provide a flat surface, thereby reducing the difficulty of subsequent manufacturing of the display panel and improving the manufacturing precision of the display panel, thereby improving practicality.

[0114] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 10, the blocking portion 90 includes a plurality of blocking pillars 92 spaced apart, at least some of the blocking pillars 92 being located on the side of the light emission control circuit D2 away from the substrate 10.

[0115] From the above, the presence of the isolation structure 20 allows the gap between the blocking portion 90 and the first area A1 to be appropriately small, and at least a portion of the blocking portion 90 is located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10. Based on this, and on the premise of meeting the need for a narrow frame of the display panel, the blocking portion 90 is provided with a plurality of blocking pillars 92 spaced apart, and each blocking pillar 92 serves to prevent overflow from the first sealing layer 71, thereby further reducing the tendency of the first sealing layer 71 to move away from the substrate 10, and improving sealing reliability.

[0116] The positional relationship between each blocking pillar 92 and the light-emitting control circuit D2 is not limited to the embodiment of the present application. For example, at least some of the blocking pillars 92 may be located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is farther from the substrate 10, or some of the blocking pillars 92 may be located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is farther from the first region A1, or some of the blocking pillars 92 may be located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is closer to the first region A1.

[0117] In some alternative embodiments, all of the blocking pillars 92 are located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is farther from the substrate 10, which is advantageous for improving the pitch between the blocking pillars 92 and the substrate 10 in the thickness direction Z so as to reduce the overall height of the blocking section 90, thereby reducing the material cost corresponding to the blocking pillars 92 and improving practicality. Of course, in some other embodiments, only some of the blocking pillars 92 may be located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is farther from the substrate 10.

[0118] In addition, the number of blocking posts 92 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the number of blocking posts 92 is greater than 2. Illustratively, the number of blocking posts 92 is 3, 4, 5, etc.

[0119] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7, the display panel further includes a light-emitting control circuit D2 located in the second region A2, and both the light-emitting control circuit D2 and the blocking unit 90 are located on the substrate 10, and the light-emitting control circuit D2 and the blocking unit 90 are arranged adjacent to each other, i.e., there is no first signal line 60 between the light-emitting control circuit D2 and the blocking unit 90.

[0120] 11 , in some embodiments, the display panel further includes a light-emitting control circuit D2 located in the second area A2, and at least a portion of the blocking portion 90 is located on a side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10. For example, the entire blocking portion 90 is located on a side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, or a portion of the blocking portion 90 is located on a side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, and the other portion of the blocking portion 90 is located on the substrate 10. There may be multiple blocking portions 90, and the blocking portion 90 closest to the first area A1 has at least a portion located on a side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10.

[0121] The light emitting control circuit D2 is located in the second area A2, and may include a multi-stage shift register cascade-connected to each other, which can sequentially scan the pixel circuits of each row located in the first area A1 and sequentially output an ON level to meet display needs.

[0122] In the related art, taking into consideration the fluidity of the second sealing layer 72, the blocking portion 90 usually needs to be spaced farther from the first region A1 so that a blocking portion 90 of a certain height size can effectively block the second sealing layer 72. Therefore, the blocking portion 90 is usually located on the side away from the first region A1 of the scanning driving circuit D1, which also affects the frame size of the display panel and is detrimental to the display effect.

[0123] In the present embodiment, the presence of the isolation structure 20 allows a portion of the second sealing layer 72 to fall into the opening structure 21, so that the opening structure 21 can provide a certain overflow function to the second sealing layer 72. Based on this, even if the distance between the blocking portion 90 and the first area A1 in the first direction X is reduced, the blocking portion 90 can still provide an effective blocking function to the second sealing layer 72 and reduce the risk of overflow. Therefore, in the present embodiment, at least a portion of the blocking portion 90 is provided on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10.

[0124] In this design, the blocking portion 90 effectively blocks the second sealing layer 72, reducing the risk of overflow of the second sealing layer 72 and improving the sealing reliability. At the same time, the blocking portion 90 contributes to reducing the distance between the blocking portion 90 and the first area A1, thereby reducing the impact of the blocking portion 90 on the frame size and further improving the narrow frame effect.

[0125] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a second insulating part 91 located between the blocking part 90 and the light-emitting control circuit D2. The second insulating part 91 may cover at least a portion of the structure of the light-emitting control circuit D2. Thus, after the fabrication of the light-emitting control circuit D2 is completed, the second insulating part 91 serves to isolate the light-emitting control circuit D2 from the air and protect the light-emitting control circuit D2 during subsequent fabrication processes such as metal layers, thereby reducing the risk of over-etching the light-emitting control circuit D2 and improving reliability.

[0126] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, the second insulating portion 91 insulates and separates the blocking portion 90 from the light-emission control circuit D2, thereby improving the operational reliability of the light-emission control circuit D2. Here, the second insulating portion 91 may be completely located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, or the second insulating portion 91 may be partially located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the first region A1.

[0127] Furthermore, when the blocking portion 90 is located on the side away from the substrate 10 of the light-emitting control circuit D2, the second insulating portion 91 can increase the distance between the blocking portion 90 and the substrate 10, thereby reducing the height size required for the blocking portion 90 and the corresponding material cost, and making it more practical.

[0128] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a pixel definition layer 80 on the substrate 10 side of the isolation structure 20, the pixel definition layer 80 including a pixel definition portion 81 and a pixel opening 82 formed by and surrounding the pixel definition portion 81, and the light-emitting structure 31 is at least partially located within the pixel opening 82.

[0129] The pixel definition layer 80 includes a pixel definition portion 81 and a pixel opening 82, and the pixel opening 82 is provided corresponding to the opening structure 21. For example, the orthogonal projection of the pixel opening 82 on the substrate 10 may be located within the orthogonal projection of the opening structure 21 on the substrate 10, and the partial structures of the light-emitting structure 31 and the first electrode 41 may be located within the pixel opening 82.

[0130] 10 , the display panel further includes a pixel definition layer 80, and the isolation structure 20 is provided on a side of the pixel definition layer 80 away from the substrate 10 or in an aperture in the pixel definition layer 80, which may be a through-hole or a blind hole in the pixel definition layer 80. The pixel definition layer 80 includes a pixel defining portion 81 and a pixel opening 82 surrounded by the pixel defining portion 81, and the light-emitting structure 31 is at least partially located within the pixel opening 82.

[0131] The pixel definition layer 80 includes a pixel definition portion 81 and a pixel opening 82, and the pixel opening 82 is provided corresponding to the opening structure 21. For example, the orthogonal projection of the pixel opening 82 on the substrate 10 may be located within the orthogonal projection of the opening structure 21 on the substrate 10, and the partial structures of the light-emitting structure 31 and the first electrode 41 may be located within the pixel opening 82.

[0132] In some embodiments, portions of pixel defining layer 80 are located on the side of blocking portion 90 away from substrate 10 .

[0133] For the above reasons, due to the presence of isolation structure 20, first encapsulating layer 71 is stopped near the boundary between first area A1 and second area A2, and therefore, first encapsulating layer 71 cannot provide an effective shielding effect for second encapsulating layer 72 in second area A2. Based on this, a portion of pixel definition layer 80 is arranged to cover blocking portion 90, i.e., pixel definition portion 81 plays a role in shielding and limiting the position of second encapsulating layer 72 in second area A2, thereby ensuring the reliability of the internal structure of the display panel.

[0134] In some embodiments, the pixel definition layer 80 extends from the first region A1 to the second region A2, i.e., the substructure where the pixel definition layer 80 is located in the first region A1 is integrally connected to the substructure where the pixel definition layer 80 is located in the second region A2.

[0135] In some embodiments, the orthogonal projection of the light emission control circuit D2 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the pixel definition layer 80 on the substrate 10, and / or the orthogonal projection of the blocking portion 90 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the outer edge of the pixel definition layer 80 on the substrate 10.

[0136] In the related art, the pixel definition layer 80 is separated into a partial structure located in the first region A1 and a partial structure located in the second region A2. In the embodiment of the present application, the pixel definition layer 80 extends from the first region A1 to the second region A2, i.e., the pixel definition layer 80 has an entire surface structure and can be located between the first region A1 and the second region A2. This design allows the pixel definition layer 80 to better cover the underlying conductor structures, such as the light-emitting control circuit D2, and improves the manufacturing reliability of the display panel.

[0137] Furthermore, the pixel defining layer 80 comprises an inorganic material.

[0138] Compared with organic materials, inorganic materials have the inherent property of being able to inhibit a certain flow of the first encapsulating layer 71. Therefore, the pixel defining layer 80 containing an inorganic material serves to delay overflow of the first encapsulating layer 71, allowing the blocking portion 90 to be disposed closer to the first region A1, thereby improving the narrow frame effect of the display panel. For example, the pixel defining layer 80 may contain a silicon nitride material.

[0139] 8 , an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel having a first region A1 and a second region A2 surrounding the first region A1, the display panel including a substrate 10, an isolation structure 20, a light-emitting functional layer, a gate electrode driving circuit, and a blocking portion 90, the isolation structure 20 being disposed on one side of the substrate 10, and the isolation structure 20 forming a plurality of aperture structures 21 spaced apart from each other, the light-emitting functional layer being disposed on one side of the substrate 10 and located in the first region A1, the light-emitting functional layer including a plurality of light-emitting structures 31 respectively disposed in the plurality of aperture structures 21, and at least one light-emitting structure 31 being disposed in each aperture structure 21. For example, one light-emitting structure 31 may be disposed in each aperture structure 21, or multiple light-emitting structures 31 of the same emission color may be disposed in each aperture structure 21.

[0140] The gate electrode driving circuit is located in the second region A2, the blocking portion 90 is provided in the second region A2, and at least a part of the blocking portion 90 is located on the side of the gate electrode driving circuit that is away from the substrate 10. Here, the gate electrode driving circuit may include a light-emitting control circuit D2. An orthogonal projection of at least a part of the blocking portion 90 on the substrate 10 overlaps with an orthogonal projection of the gate electrode driving circuit on the substrate.

[0141] The display panel has at least two regions: a first region A1, which is a display region for realizing the display effect of the display panel, and a second region A2, which is a non-display region surrounding the first region A1 and is mainly used to arrange the driving circuitry of the display panel. The second region A2 is a non-display region. The sizes and shapes of the first region A1 and the second region A2 are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the first region A1 may have a rectangular structure, and the second region A2 may have a rectangular structure with rounded corners.

[0142] The substrate 10 mainly functions as a support, and the other film layers are sequentially stacked on the substrate 10, where "stacked" refers to the other film layers being sequentially stacked along the thickness direction Z of the substrate 10. The substrate 10 may include multiple film layer structures, and the specific film layer structure of the substrate 10 is not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application. Note that the thickness direction Z of the other film layers located on the substrate 10 side generally coincides with the thickness direction Z of the substrate 10 itself, so for convenience of explanation, the thickness direction Z of the substrate 10 or the thickness direction Z of the other film layers in the following embodiments of the present application will all be shown in the same direction.

[0143] The light-emitting functional layer and the isolation structure 20 are located on the same side of the substrate 10. The light-emitting functional layer is located in the first region A1 and includes a plurality of light-emitting structures 31, which are main devices for realizing light-emitting display. Here, the light-emitting structures 31 include, but are not limited to, a red light-emitting structure 31 for emitting red light, a green light-emitting structure 31 for emitting green light, and a blue light-emitting structure 31 for emitting blue light. Each light-emitting structure 31 may include a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), a light-emitting layer, an electron injection layer (EIL), and an electron transport layer (ETL), which are stacked one on the other.

[0144] Optionally, the display panel may further include a first electrode layer 40 located on a side of the light-emitting functional layer away from the substrate 10. The display panel may further include a second electrode layer 50 located on a side of the light-emitting functional layer facing the substrate 10, the first electrode layer 40 being provided with a first electrode 41, the second electrode layer 50 being provided with a second electrode 51, the number of the second electrodes 51 being plural, the plural second electrodes 51 being provided corresponding to the light-emitting structures 31, the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 51 jointly driving and controlling whether the light-emitting structures 31 emit light. Exemplarily, the first electrode 41 is a cathode, and the second electrode 51 is an anode.

[0145] The isolation structure 20 can surround and form a plurality of aperture structures 21. For example, the isolation structure 20 has a mesh-like structure when orthogonally projected onto the substrate 10. The light-emitting structures 31 are respectively disposed within the plurality of aperture structures 21, i.e., the orthogonal projections of the light-emitting structures 31 on the substrate 10 correspond to the orthogonal projections of the aperture structures 21 on the substrate 10, and the orthogonal projections of the light-emitting structures 31 on the substrate 10 are at least partially located within the orthogonal projections of the aperture structures 21 on the substrate 10. Furthermore, the presence of the isolation structure 20 can cancel out a precision metal mask during the manufacturing process of the light-emitting functional layer.

[0146] Specifically, taking the example of manufacturing the red light-emitting structure 31 before the green light-emitting structure 31, in order to cancel out the precision metal mask, the red light-emitting material corresponding to the red light-emitting structure 31 is first dropped into each opening structure 21, and then the red light-emitting material in some of the opening structures 21 is selectively etched away, and the red light-emitting material in some of the opening structures 21 is reserved to form the red light-emitting structure 31. Then, the green light-emitting material corresponding to the green light-emitting structure 31 is dropped into each opening structure 21, and then the green light-emitting material in some of the opening structures 21 is selectively etched away, and the green light-emitting material in some of the opening structures 21 is reserved to form the green light-emitting structure 31.

[0147] Similarly, due to the presence of the isolation structure 20, the first electrode layer 40 may include a plurality of first electrodes 41 each arranged within the opening structure 21, i.e., the plurality of first electrodes 41 may be arranged corresponding to a plurality of light-emitting structures 31 to realize driving control for the light-emitting structures 31.

[0148] The display panel contains multiple other film layer structures, some of which have a certain degree of fluidity due to factors such as material composition. In order to achieve an effective blocking effect on such film layer structures, the display panel in the embodiment of the present application is further provided with a blocking section 90, which is located in the second area A2 and mainly serves to block the flow of some of the film layers away from the first area A1 of the blocking section 90, thereby improving the reliability of the internal structure of the display panel.

[0149] Typically, a fluid film layer structure itself has a certain thickness, and the thickness of this type of film layer structure gradually decreases toward the edge of the display panel. Therefore, if the blocking portion 90 is located closer to the first region A1, the size of the blocking portion 90 in the thickness direction Z must be increased to meet the blocking needs, which is disadvantageous to the overall thickness design of the display panel. Therefore, the blocking portion 90 is usually located far from the first region A1. Furthermore, in the related art, the blocking portion 90 is located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is far from the first region A1.

[0150] The gate electrode driving circuit is located in the second area A2, and the blocking section 90 is located on the side of the gate electrode driving circuit away from the first area A1, i.e., the blocking section 90 and the gate electrode driving circuit are provided parallel to and spaced apart in the plane direction in which the substrate 10 is located. The orthogonal projection of the blocking section 90 on the substrate 10 is provided adjacent to the orthogonal projection of the gate electrode driving circuit on the substrate 10.

[0151] In the embodiment of the present application, the isolation structure 20 is surrounded by a plurality of opening structures 21, and at least some of the opening structures 21 can accommodate a fluid film layer structure, so that the presence of the isolation structure 20 can reduce the thickness of some of the film layers in the second region A2. Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, the blocking portion 90 can be appropriately moved toward the first region A1 without excessively increasing its height, and at least a portion of it can be positioned away from the substrate 10 of the gate electrode driving circuit, thereby solving the problem of the excessively large distance between the blocking portion 90 and the first region A1 resulting in an excessively large frame size of the display panel, i.e., helping to reduce the frame size of the display panel and improve the display effect.

[0152] Furthermore, at least a part of the blocking portion 90 is selectively located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is farther away from the substrate 10.

[0153] The blocking portion 90 may be located entirely on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, or a portion of the blocking portion 90 may be located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10 and another portion of the blocking portion 90 may be located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the first region A1 ... and this is not limited to the embodiments of the present application. Here, because the light-emitting control circuit D2 itself has a certain thickness, the presence of the light-emitting control circuit D2 contributes to reducing the height of at least a portion of the blocking portion 90 that is located on the side of the light-emitting control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, thereby reducing the material cost corresponding to the blocking portion 90 and improving practicality.

[0154] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a second encapsulation layer 72 disposed on the side of the light-emitting functional layer away from the substrate 10, the second encapsulation layer 72 including an organic material, and a portion located within the aperture structure 21.

[0155] The second sealing layer 72 is located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer away from the substrate 10, i.e., on the light-emitting surface side of the light-emitting structure 31. A part of the second sealing layer 72 is located in the first region A1, and another part is located in the second region A2. The second sealing layer 72 mainly serves to seal and protect the light-emitting structure 31, reducing the risk of moisture, oxygen, etc. entering the light-emitting structure 31 and improving the light-emitting reliability of the display panel.

[0156] The second sealing layer 72 contains an organic material and has a certain fluidity. However, the second sealing layer 72 can be partially positioned within the opening structure 21, so that the opening structure 21 can provide a certain overflow accommodation function for the second sealing layer 72, thereby reducing the thickness size of the second sealing layer 72 in the second region A2, and thus reducing the distance between the blocking portion 90 and the first region A1, and at least a portion of it can be positioned on the side away from the substrate 10 of the light-emitting control circuit D2, which helps to achieve a narrow-bezel display effect for the display panel.

[0157] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a first sealing layer 71 disposed between the second sealing layer 72 and the light-emitting functional layer, and a third sealing layer 73 located on the side of the second sealing layer 72 away from the substrate 10, and the first sealing layer 71 and the third sealing layer 73 include inorganic materials.

[0158] The first encapsulating layer 71 and the third encapsulating layer 73 are located on both sides of the second encapsulating layer 72 in the thickness direction Z, and the first encapsulating layer 71, the second encapsulating layer 72, and the third encapsulating layer 73 together form a thin film encapsulation structure to improve the encapsulation and protection effect for the light-emitting functional layer. Here, the first encapsulating layer 71 and the third encapsulating layer 73 both contain inorganic materials, and the first encapsulating layer 71 and the third encapsulating layer 73 can perform a certain positional restriction and blocking function for the second encapsulating layer 72.

[0159] Further optionally, the first sealing layer 71 includes a plurality of first sealing portions 711 each arranged within the opening structure 21, and the first sealing portions 711 and the blocking portions 90 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart in the direction in which the substrate 10 is located.

[0160] Due to the presence of the isolation structure 20, the sealing material for forming the first sealing portion 711 also falls into the opening structure 21, thereby forming a plurality of first sealing portions 711 corresponding to the opening structure 21, where different first sealing portions 711 are spaced apart from each other.

[0161] In the embodiment of the present application, the presence of the blocking portion 90 serves to prevent overflow of the second sealing layer 72, thereby reducing the risk of the second sealing layer 72 extending away from the first region A1 of the blocking portion 90 and improving the sealing reliability of the display panel.

[0162] In some embodiments, the third sealing layer 73 is partially located on the side of the blocking portion 90 away from the substrate 10, i.e., the third sealing layer 73 can extend from the first region A1 to the second region A2 and cover at least part of the structure of the blocking portion 90.

[0163] In such a design, the blocking portion 90 cooperates with the third sealing layer 73 to jointly perform the role of limiting the position and blocking the second sealing layer 72, further reducing the risk of the second sealing layer 72 extending away from the first region A1, and improving the sealing reliability of the display panel.

[0164] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the display panel further includes a scanning drive circuit D1 located between the light emitting control circuit D2 and the first area A1, and the blocking portion 90 is located on the side of the scanning drive circuit D1 away from the first area A1.

[0165] The scanning driving circuit D1 may include a multi-stage shift register cascaded to each other, which can sequentially scan the pixel circuits of each row located in the first area A1 and sequentially output an ON level to meet display needs.

[0166] The scan driving circuit D1 and the light-emitting control circuit D2 are both located in the second region A2, with the scan driving circuit D1 located closer to the first region A1 than the light-emitting control circuit D2. Because the distance between the scan driving circuit D1 and the first region A1 is short, in order to ensure the blocking effect of the blocking unit 90 against overflow into the first sealing layer 71, in this embodiment, the blocking unit 90 is further provided on the side of the scan driving circuit D1 away from the first region A1. That is, the distance between the blocking unit 90 and the first region A1 is greater than the distance between the scan driving circuit D1 and the first region A1. This ensures a constant distance between the blocking unit 90 and the first region A1, thereby improving the blocking effect of the blocking unit 90 against overflow into the first sealing layer 71 without increasing the height of the blocking unit 90.

[0167] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a second insulating portion 91 disposed between the light-emitting control circuit D2 and at least a portion of the blocking portion 90.

[0168] The second insulating portion 91 may cover at least a portion of the structure of the light-emitting control circuit D2. For example, the orthogonal projection of the second insulating portion 91 on the substrate covers the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting control circuit D2 on the substrate. As a result, after the manufacture of the light-emitting control circuit D2 is completed, the second insulating portion 91 serves to isolate the light-emitting control circuit D2 from the air. During the manufacturing process of subsequent metal layers, etc., the second insulating portion 91 serves to protect the light-emitting control circuit D2, thereby reducing the risk of over-etching of the light-emitting control circuit D2 and improving reliability.

[0169] Furthermore, the second insulating portion 91 insulates and separates the blocking portion 90 from the light-emission control circuit D2, thereby improving the operational reliability of the light-emission control circuit D2. As can be seen from the above, the blocking portion 90 may be located entirely on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, or a portion of the blocking portion 90 may be located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, and another portion of the blocking portion 90 may be located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the first region A1 of the light-emission control circuit D2. In light of this, the second insulating portion 91 may be located entirely on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, or a portion of the second insulating portion 91 may be located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the substrate 10, and another portion of the second insulating portion 91 may be located on the side of the light-emission control circuit D2 that is away from the first region A1 of the light-emission control circuit D2.

[0170] When the blocking portion 90 is located on the side away from the substrate 10 of the light-emitting control circuit D2, the second insulating portion 91 can increase the distance between the blocking portion 90 and the substrate 10, thereby reducing the height size required for the blocking portion 90 and the corresponding material cost, and making it more practical.

[0171] In some alternative embodiments, the orthogonal projection of the blocking portion 90 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the second insulating portion 91 on the substrate 10. This further improves the insulating effect of the second insulating portion 91 between the blocking portion 90 and the light-emission control circuit D2, thereby improving reliability. Furthermore, the presence of the second insulating portion 91 increases the distance between the blocking portion 90 and the substrate 10, thereby reducing the height of the blocking portion 90 and reducing the material costs associated with the blocking portion 90.

[0172] Further optionally, the orthogonal projection of the blocking portion 90 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the light emission control circuit D2 on the substrate 10.

[0173] 9, in some embodiments, the second insulating portion 91 extends from the first region A1 to the second region A2, and the orthogonal projection of the second insulating portion 91 on the substrate 10 covers the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting control circuit D2 on the substrate 10. That is, the second insulating portion 91 is located in a substructure in the first region A1, and the second insulating portion 91 is integrally connected to the substructure located in the second region A2.

[0174] In the present application, by extending the second insulating portion 91 from the first region A1 into the second region A2, the second insulating portion 91 not only serves to provide insulation and isolation between different conductive structures in the first region A1, but also serves to cover and protect the light-emitting control circuit D2 in the second region A2, thereby improving the reliability of the display panel. Optionally, the second insulating portion 91 may also serve as a planarization layer, which can provide a flat surface, thereby reducing the difficulty of subsequent manufacturing of the display panel and improving the manufacturing precision of the display panel, thereby improving practicality.

[0175] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a first signal line 60 located in the second region A2 and a first electrode 41 located on the side of the light-emitting structure 31 away from the substrate, and the first signal line 60 is electrically connected to the first electrode 41 via the isolation structure 20.

[0176] In this embodiment, the first signal line 60 is not directly connected to the first electrodes 41 but transmits power signals to each first electrode 41 via the isolation structure 20. Specifically, the isolation structure 20 itself is provided corresponding to each first electrode 41, enabling signal transmission therebetween. Therefore, the first signal line 60 does not need to extend to the position of each first electrode 41; that is, the first signal line 60 does not need to be provided so as to surround each first electrode 41. Instead, the first signal line 60 only needs to be provided on one side of the isolation structure 20 in the first direction X and electrically connected to the isolation structure 20. In this way, the power signal within the first signal line 60 can be transmitted to each first electrode 41 via the isolation structure 20, thereby satisfying the signal transmission needs. Furthermore, because the first signal line 60 is provided on one side of the isolation structure 20 in the first direction X and is not a ring-shaped structure, it contributes to reducing the frame size of the display panel and improving the display effect.

[0177] Furthermore, in some alternative embodiments, the first signal line 60 is located on one side of the isolation structure 20 along a first direction X, which is parallel to the plane in which the substrate 10 is located.

[0178] The specific wiring form of the first signal lines 60 is not limited to the embodiment of the present application. Depending on the actual situation, the first signal lines 60 may be located entirely on one side of the isolation structure 20 along the first direction X, or a small number of first signal lines 60 may be located on the other side of the isolation structure 20 along a different direction, as long as most of the first signal lines 60 are located on the same side of the isolation structure 20.

[0179] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 7, the orthogonal projection of the blocking portion 90 on the substrate 10 and the orthogonal projection of the first signal line 60 on the substrate 10 are misaligned.

[0180] The blocking portion 90 is located in the second region A2, and is usually located at the edge position of the display panel. As can be seen from the above, the second sealing layer 72 contains an organic material, and the organic material contained in the second sealing layer 72 usually has a certain fluidity. In order to reduce the risk of the organic material in the second sealing layer 72 overflowing, the blocking portion 90 is usually provided at the edge position of the display panel. The presence of the blocking portion 90 can reduce the risk of overflow and improve the reliability of the display panel.

[0181] Furthermore, the first signal line 60 is located on one side of the isolation structure 20 only in the first direction X, and is not provided to surround the periphery of the isolation structure 20, so that the first signal line 60 is not present in a partial position in the second region A2. Based on this, the orthogonal projection of the blocking portion 90 on the substrate 10 and the orthogonal projection of the first signal line 60 on the substrate 10 are distributed in a misaligned position, that is, the first signal line 60 does not affect the layout design of the blocking portion 90, which helps to reduce the risk of physical interference between them.

[0182] The specific arrangement of the blocking portion 90 is not limited to the embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the partial structure of the blocking portion 90 may be located on at least one side of the isolation structure 20 in the second direction Y.

[0183] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the isolation structure 20 includes a first isolation portion 22 and a second isolation portion 23 stacked sequentially along a direction away from the substrate 10, and the orthogonal projection of the first isolation portion 22 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthogonal projection of the second isolation portion 23 on the substrate 10.

[0184] The specific sizes and shapes of the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the vertical cross section of the isolation structure 20 may be T-shaped. This design helps prevent the light emitting material and electrode material from extending along the sidewall of the first isolation portion 22 to the sidewall of the second isolation portion 23 during the manufacturing process of the light emitting functional layer and the first electrode layer 40, thereby realizing the manufacturing and mutual isolation of the light emitting structures 31 and the first electrodes 41 in different opening structures 21 without the need for a precise metal mask.

[0185] The material compositions of the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Both the first isolation portion 22 and the second isolation portion 23 may include a conductive material, or the first isolation portion 22 may include a conductive material and the second isolation portion 23 may include an insulating material, as long as the first electrode 41 can transmit a signal through the isolation structure 20.

[0186] Furthermore, at least a portion of the first signal line 60 may be located within the second region A2, and the first signal line 60 may be located entirely within the second region A2, or the first signal line 60 may extend partially within the first region A1. Similarly, the isolation structure 20 may be located entirely within the first region A1, or the isolation structure 20 may extend partially within the second region A2, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0187] In some embodiments, the first isolation portion 22 comprises a conductive material, and the first electrode 41 is provided in electrical connection with the first isolation portion 22 .

[0188] The first signal line 60 can transmit a power signal to the first electrode 41 via the first isolation portion 22, where the first electrode 41 may be in direct contact with the first isolation portion 22, or the first electrode 41 may be electrically connected to the first isolation portion 22 via another conductive structure, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0189] In this embodiment, by disposing a conductive material within the first isolation portion 22, the first signal line 60 can transmit a power signal to the first electrode 41 via the first isolation portion 22, thereby satisfying the need for signal transmission. Furthermore, by providing an extension path for the first isolation portion 22 within the first area A1, the first isolation portion 22 can extend to the range of each area within the first area A1. Therefore, the first signal line 60 only needs to be disposed on one side of the isolation structure 20 along the first direction X, and there is no need for the first signal line 60 to be disposed so as to surround the first area A1, thereby reducing the frame size of the display panel.

[0190] The positional relationship between the first signal line 60 and the first isolation portion 22 is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. In some examples, at least a portion of the first signal line 60 may contact the first isolation portion 22, i.e., the power signal in at least a portion of the first signal line 60 may be directly transmitted into the first isolation portion 22. Furthermore, if the isolation structure 20 further includes another conductive structure electrically connected to the first isolation portion 22, the first signal line 60 may contact the other conductive structure.

[0196] In the embodiment of the present application, the isolation structure 20 is surrounded by a plurality of opening structures 21, and at least some of the opening structures 21 can accommodate a fluid film layer structure, so that the presence of the isolation structure 20 can reduce the thickness of some of the film layers in the second region A2. Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, the blocking portion 90 can be appropriately moved toward the first region A1 without excessively increasing its height, and at least a portion of it can be positioned away from the substrate 10 of the gate electrode driving circuit, thereby solving the problem of the excessively large distance between the blocking portion 90 and the first region A1 resulting in an excessively large frame size of the display panel, i.e., helping to reduce the frame size of the display panel and improve the display effect.

[0197] 1 to 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, the display panel having a first area A1 and a second area A2, the first area A1 including a display area, and the second area A2 including a lower frame area.

The first signal line 60 is located on one side of the first region A1 in the first direction X without surrounding the first region A1, and transmits signals to different positions in the first region A1 via the isolation structure 20, thereby satisfying the need for signal transmission. Furthermore, because the first signal line 60 is located on one side of the isolation structure 20 in the first direction X and does not have a ring structure, it contributes to reducing the frame size of the display panel and improving the display effect.
