[0073] The present application forms the first electrode 231d in the photosensitive device 300 simultaneously when forming the first active portion 232 in the first pixel driving portion, and forms the second electrode 261a in the photosensitive device 300 simultaneously when forming the second active portion 262 in the first sub-pixel 200a, so as to utilize conductive low-temperature polysilicon and metal oxide to form the first electrode 231d and the second electrode 261a in the photosensitive device 300, and simultaneously form the pixel driving portion 200 and the photosensitive device 300 in the film layer process of the array layer 20, thereby reducing the number of masking operations of the display panel 100 and simplifying the process of the display panel 100.

[0074] In the display panel 100 of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the photosensitive device 300 may further include an insulating isolation layer and a first opening 330 opened on the insulating isolation layer, the insulating isolation layer is arranged between the driving active portion 231 and the second active portion 262, the first opening 330 passes through the insulating isolation layer, the photosensitive portion 320 may overlap on the side wall of the first opening 330, and the photosensitive portion 320 is electrically connected to one of the two first electrodes 231d through the first opening 330.

[0075] In this embodiment, the insulating isolation layer may include a first gate insulating layer 222, a second gate insulating layer 223, and a first inter-insulating layer 224, and the first opening 330 may penetrate a portion of the first gate insulating layer 222 and all of the second gate insulating layer 223 and the first inter-insulating layer 224 to expose a portion of the first electrode 231d.

[0076] In this embodiment, the material of the photosensitive portion 320 may be a-Si.

[0077] In this embodiment, the driving transistor may further include a photosensitive gate 242 arranged on the driving active portion 231. The photosensitive gate 242 and the first gate 241 are made of the same material. The photosensitive gate 242 and the first gate 241 are arranged on the surface of the first gate insulation layer 222, that is, the photosensitive gate 242 and the first gate 241 are both formed by the material of the first gate layer 240 in the same mask process.

[0078] In this embodiment, the first electrode 231d, the photosensitive portion 320 and the second electrode 261a constitute the photosensitive device of the present application, namely, a photosensitive diode; when the incident light is irradiated on the photosensitive diode, the photosensitive portion 320 absorbs the incident light and converts it into photocurrent; secondly, the photosensitive gate 242 opens the driving channel 231a of the driving active portion 231, so that the photocurrent is transmitted from the first electrode 231d of the driving active portion 231 to the drain connection portion on the other side of the driving channel 231a, and is transmitted to the corresponding reading module to read the electrical signal.

[0079] In this embodiment, since the material of the photosensitive portion 320 is amorphous silicon, the thickness of the photosensitive portion 320 is positively correlated with the total amount of light that the photosensitive portion 320 can absorb; that is, when the incident light is irradiated on the photosensitive portion 320, the greater the thickness of the photosensitive portion 320, the higher the upper limit of the total amount of light that the photosensitive portion 320 can absorb. Therefore, when the size permits, the thickness of the photosensitive portion 320 is increased as much as possible to avoid errors in the measurement results of the photosensitive diode due to the incident light reaching the absorption upper limit of the photosensitive portion 320; for example, in this embodiment, the thickness of the photosensitive portion 320 can completely fill the first opening 330.

[0080] In the display panel 100 of the present application, the acute angle formed between the sidewall of the first opening 330 and the substrate 10 ranges from 30° to 80°. When the acute angle formed between the sidewall of the first opening 330 and the substrate 10 is less than 30°, the area of ​​the first electrode 231d exposed by the first opening 330 is small within the limited size and area, resulting in a small contact area between the photosensitive portion 320 and the exposed first electrode 231d, which affects the transmission of photocurrent. When the acute angle formed between the sidewall of the first opening 330 and the substrate 10 is greater than 80°, the inclination angle of the sidewall of the first opening 330 is too large, and there is a risk of film discontinuity during film deposition on the photosensitive portion 320.

[0081] The fingerprint recognition sensor mainly collects light data, converts the collected light data into an electrical signal, and reads the electrical signal to obtain the user's fingerprint information. However, the light received by the photosensitive portion 320 includes not only light reflected from the user's finger, but also stray light incident from the outside world. Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of light data collection, this application also requires the provision of a light shielding layer 210 on one side of the photosensitive device 300.

[0082] In the display panel 100 of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the light-shielding layer 210 may include a first light-shielding portion 211 arranged between the driving active portion 231 and the base substrate 10, and the positive projections of the photosensitive portion 320 and the driving channel 231a on the first light-shielding portion 211 are located within the first light-shielding portion 211.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first light shielding portion 211 completely covers the photosensitive portion 320, preventing light from entering the interior of the display panel 100 from the side of the base substrate 10, ensuring that the light collected by the photosensitive portion 320 is mainly light reflected by the user's finger, thereby ensuring the accuracy of light data collection.

[0084] In the display panel 100 of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the light-shielding layer 210 also includes a second light-shielding portion 212 arranged between the base substrate 10 and the first active portion 232. The orthographic projection of the first active portion 232 on the second light-shielding portion 212 is located within the second light-shielding portion 212. The second light-shielding portion 212 is used to shield the first active portion 232 in the first sub-pixel 200a.

[0085] In this embodiment, since the material of the first active portion 232 is low-temperature polysilicon, when light enters the first channel 232a, the device effect of the first active portion 232 will be affected to a certain extent. The setting of the second light-shielding portion 212 can prevent light incident from the base substrate 10 into the interior of the display panel 100 from entering the first channel 232a.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first light shielding portion 211 and the second light shielding portion 212 are disposed on the surface of the same insulating film layer, that is, the first light shielding portion 211 and the second light shielding portion 212 can be disposed on the surface of the second barrier layer 104. At the same time, the light shielding layer 210 can further include a third light shielding portion 213 and a fourth light shielding portion. The first light shielding portion 211, the second light shielding portion 212, the third light shielding portion 213, and the fourth light shielding portion 214 can be disposed at intervals. The third light shielding portion 213 can be used to shield the active portion of the second sub-pixel 200b, and the fourth light shielding portion 214 can be used to shield the active portion of the third sub-pixel 200c.

[0087] In this embodiment, the first light shielding portion 211, the second light shielding portion 212, the third light shielding portion 213 and the fourth light shielding portion 214 can be arranged continuously, and the first light shielding portion 211, the second light shielding portion 212, the third light shielding portion 213 and the fourth light shielding portion 214 can be connected to each other to form a whole light shielding portion to block the active portion of the first sub-pixel 200a, the second sub-pixel 200b, the third sub-pixel 200c and the photosensitive device 300 to prevent the low-temperature polysilicon and metal oxide in the first sub-pixel 200a, the second sub-pixel 200b, the third sub-pixel 200c and the photosensitive device 300 from being affected by light.

[0088] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In order to improve the device effect of the first active portion 232, the second light-shielding portion 212 can be electrically connected to the source or drain in the first sub-pixel 200a, so that a voltage that turns on the first active portion 232 is formed on the second light-shielding portion 212, and a driving electric field is formed on the first gate 241 and the second light-shielding portion 212, thereby increasing the movement speed of carriers in the first channel 232a, improving the opening rate of the first channel 232a, and thereby reducing the response time of the first active portion 232.

[0089] In this embodiment, since the second light shielding portion 212 is electrically connected to the source or drain, if the second light shielding portion 212 is electrically connected to the first light shielding portion 211, there will be voltage in the light shielding portion below the photosensitive device 300, affecting the activation of the active portion 231. Therefore, the second light shielding portion 212 of the present application needs to be separated from the first light shielding portion 211, the third light shielding portion 213 and the fourth light shielding portion 214.

[0090] In the display panel 100 of the present application, since the second active portion 262 is made of metal oxide, and when light enters the second channel 262a, the device effect of the second active portion 262 will be affected to a certain extent, the present application can make the orthographic projection of the second active portion 262 on the second light-shielding portion 212 located within the second light-shielding portion 212, such as the structures of Figures 1 and 2; or, the orthographic projection of the second active portion 262 on the first light-shielding portion 211 is located within the first light-shielding portion 211, such as the structure of Figure 3. The arrangement of the second light-shielding portion 212 in Figures 1 and 2 and the first light-shielding portion 211 in Figure 3 can block the second channel 262a of the second active portion 262, thereby preventing light incident from the base substrate 10 into the interior of the display panel 100 from entering the second channel 262a.

[0091] In the display panel 100 of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 2 , the length of the driving channel 231a can be smaller than the length of the first channel 232a. Since the channel length in the active portion is inversely correlated with the response rate of the active portion, and the channel width in the active portion is positively correlated with the response rate of the active portion, in order to improve the response rate of the photodiode, the length of the driving channel 231a in the photosensitive device 300 is reduced, so that the length of the driving channel 231a is smaller than the length of the first channel 232a, thereby increasing the turn-on rate of the driving channel 231a and reducing the response time of the driving active portion 231.

[0092] In this embodiment, external light can enter the interior of the display panel 100 from the light-emitting side of the display panel 100. Part of the incident light can be absorbed by the photosensitive device 300, affecting the measurement accuracy of the photosensitive device 300. Therefore, the present application can use a black light-shielding material to prepare the pixel definition layer 40, that is, except for the pixel opening 410 on the pixel definition layer 40, all other positions are filled with black light-shielding material; however, although this design can prevent external incident light from entering the photosensitive device 300, it also blocks light reflected by the user's finger, making it impossible for the photosensitive device 300 to obtain valid light data.

[0093] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the display panel 100 further includes a pixel definition layer 40 disposed on the array layer 20. The pixel definition layer 40 has a second opening 420 formed therein, corresponding to the photosensitive portion 320. The second opening 420 allows light reflected from the user's finger to enter the photosensitive device 300, allowing the photosensitive portion 320 to receive the light data and obtain information about the user's fingerprint.

[0094] In this embodiment, the second opening 420 is filled with an insulating material, and the orthographic projection of the insulating material in the second opening 420 on the photosensitive portion 320 is located within the photosensitive portion 320. Since an encapsulation layer 50 is formed on the pixel definition layer 40, the organic material and inorganic material in the encapsulation layer 50 are filled into the second opening 420 to fill the second opening 420. At the same time, to ensure the measurement accuracy of the photosensitive device 300, in this embodiment, the projected area of ​​the photosensitive portion 320 on the base substrate 10 is larger than the projected area of ​​the second opening 420 on the base substrate 10. In other words, the area of ​​the photosensitive portion 320 is increased as much as possible so that the photosensitive portion 320 can receive as much light as possible incident on the photosensitive portion 320 from the second opening 420.

[0095] In this embodiment, similar to the structure of the pixel definition layer 40, the black matrix 710 layer has multiple openings corresponding to the pixel driver 200, and multiple color resist units 721 of different colors are disposed within the corresponding openings. Therefore, while the design of the color filter layer 70 prevents external incident light from entering the photosensitive device 300, it also blocks light reflected by the user's finger, preventing the photosensitive device 300 from acquiring valid light data.

[0096] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the black matrix 710 of the color filter layer 70 further defines a third opening 711 corresponding to the second opening 420. The center of the third opening 711 and the center of the second opening 420 may lie on the same line perpendicular to the display panel 100. The second opening 420 and the third opening 711 may form a collimated light path, through which light reflected from the user's finger can enter the photosensitive device 300, allowing the photosensitive portion 320 to receive the light data and obtain information about the user's fingerprint.

[0097] In this embodiment, the circumscribed circle diameter of the third opening 711 can be smaller than the circumscribed circle diameter of the second opening 420. The reduction in the circumscribed circle diameter of the third opening 711 can reduce the amount of external interference light entering the photosensitive device 300, while the increase in the circumscribed circle diameter of the second opening 420 can ensure that as much incident light as possible passing through the third opening 711 is incident on the photosensitive portion 320.

[0098] In this embodiment, the circumscribed diameter of the third opening 711 may be 2 μm to 20 μm, for example, 4 μm to 10 μm. The circumscribed diameter of the second opening 420 is larger than that of the third opening 711 .

[0099] In the display panel 100 of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 3, a plurality of fourth openings 712 corresponding to the pixel driving unit 200 are further provided on the black matrix 710 layer, and the plurality of fourth openings 712 are filled with color resist units 721, and one fourth opening 712 corresponds to one pixel opening 410; for example, the three fourth openings 712 in this embodiment are respectively filled with red color resist, green color resist and blue color resist.

[0100] In this embodiment, the circumscribed circle diameter of the fourth opening 712 is larger than the circumscribed circle diameter of the third opening 711. Since the fourth opening 712 is filled with the color resist unit 721, and the third opening 711 is a channel for the collimated light path, if the circumscribed circle diameter of the third opening 711 is too large, the third opening 711 cannot form a collimated light path with the second opening 420.

[0101] In the display panel 100 of the present application, the third opening 711 is filled with a color resist unit 721, which is a blue color resist or a green color resist. The blue color resist or the green color resist is mainly used to filter the red light reflected by the user's finger.

[0102] In the display panel 100 of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 3, the touch metal layer may include a plurality of first touch electrodes, a plurality of second touch electrodes, and a bridge member formed by a first touch metal layer and a second touch metal layer. The first touch electrodes, the second touch electrodes, and the bridge member are formed by a metal grid. The first touch electrode is insulated from the second touch electrode by a break in the metal grid. The metal grid is formed by a plurality of first wires 610 and a plurality of second wires 620. The plurality of first wires 610 and the plurality of second wires 620 intersect to form a plurality of meshes corresponding to at least one sub-pixel.

[0103] In this embodiment, orthographic projections of the plurality of first conductive lines 610 and the plurality of second conductive lines 620 on the color filter layer 70 are located within the black matrix 710 .

[0104] In this embodiment, the display panel 100 further includes a cover plate 80 disposed on the color filter layer 70 .

[0112] Please refer to Figure 6b. The material of the photosensitive part 320 can be a-Si. The first electrode 231d, the photosensitive part 320 and the second electrode 261a constitute the photosensitive diode of the present application. When the incident light is irradiated on the photosensitive diode, the photosensitive part 320 absorbs the incident light and converts it into photocurrent; secondly, the photosensitive gate 242 opens the driving channel 231a of the driving active part 231, so that the photocurrent is transmitted from the first electrode 231d of the driving active part 231 to the conductor part on the other side of the driving channel 231a, and is transmitted to the corresponding reading module to read the electrical signal.

[0113] In this embodiment, the acute angle between the sidewall of the first opening 330 and the base substrate 10 ranges from 30° to 80°.
