[0101] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a display panel, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0102] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the illustrated embodiments may be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully enable those skilled in the art to understand the scope of this disclosure.

[0103] The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but include modifications of the configurations formed based on the manufacturing process. Therefore, the regions illustrated in the drawings are schematic in nature, and the shapes of the regions shown in the drawings illustrate specific shapes of the regions, but are not intended to be limiting.

[0104] Flexible AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) wearable products (such as watches and bracelets) have a full copper foil on the back to channel and release static electricity. However, for ease of use, AMOLED wearable products often incorporate NFC (Near Field Communication) and antennas on the back of the copper foil.

[0105] The setting of the entire copper foil on the back side of the wearable product will shield the NFC signal and the antenna signal, affecting the normal transmission of the NFC signal and the antenna signal. Therefore, the current trend is to not set copper foil on the back side of the wearable product or to set copper foil partially. Referring to Figures 1a, 1b and 1c, Figure 1a is a schematic diagram of the principle of static electricity causing the transistor characteristics in the gate shift register circuit to be forward biased; Figure 1b is a circuit diagram of a gate shift register circuit; Figure 1c is a comparative schematic diagram of the gate shift register circuit with normal pulse output without screen flickering and with multiple pulse outputs causing screen flickering. The absence of copper foil or the partial setting of copper foil will weaken the anti-static ability of the wearable product screen, and the negative static charge will easily accumulate and remain in the back film layer of the screen, causing the transistor characteristics (i.e., Gate GOA TFT) in the gate shift register circuit in the screen to be forward biased, resulting in multiple pulse outputs (mainly affected by the forward bias of T2), inducing screen flickering defects.

[0106] Referring to Figure 1a, if the adverse phenomenon can be reproduced through an electrostatic field test of a certain intensity (for example, -6KV) or a belt friction wearable product screen cover, essentially there is a negative charge accumulated on the surface of the screen cover, the negative charge is conducted downward along the edge sides of the screen, and finally accumulated in the overall back film such as the foam and copper foil on the back of the screen.

[0107] Currently, the main electrostatic protection measures for AMOLED wearable products include using a metal middle frame for the entire device and adding partial copper foil on the back of the screen.

[0108] In order to solve the problem of poor screen flickering caused by the lack of copper foil or partial copper foil setting on the back side of current AMOLED wearable products, on the first hand, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display panel, referring to Figures 2a, 2b and 2c, Figure 2a is a top view schematic diagram of a display panel in the embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2b is a structural cross-sectional schematic diagram along the AA' section line in Figure 2a; Figure 2c is a structural cross-sectional schematic diagram along the BB' section line in Figure 2a; wherein, the display panel has a display area 101 and a frame area 102, the frame area 102 surrounds the display area 101, and the display panel includes: a substrate 1; a conductive shielding layer 2, located on one side of the substrate 1, and its orthographic projection on the substrate 1 is at least located in the frame area 102; a shift register circuit 3, located in the frame area 102 , and is located on the side of the conductive shielding layer 2 away from the substrate 1; the first potential line 4 is located in the frame area 102, and is located on the side of the conductive shielding layer 2 away from the substrate 1; the first insulating layer 5 is located between the conductive shielding layer 2 and the first potential line 4 and the shift register circuit 3; the shift register circuit 3 and the first potential line 4 are arranged in sequence along the direction away from the display area 101; the shift register circuit 3 includes a plurality of first-class transistors, and the positive projection of the conductive shielding layer 2 on the substrate 1 covers at least part of the positive projection of the first-class transistors on the substrate 1; the positive projections of the conductive shielding layer 2 and the first potential line 4 on the substrate 1 at least partially overlap, and a first opening 50 is opened in the first insulating layer 5, and at least a local area of ​​the conductive shielding layer 2 is electrically connected to the first potential line 4 through the first opening 50.

The three-dimensional shielding structure can shield at least part of the first type of transistors in the shift register circuit 3 to prevent the static electricity accumulated on the back side of the substrate 1 from affecting the characteristics of at least part of the first type of transistors, thereby avoiding the display panel from flickering, and at the same time enhancing the anti-static ability of the display panel and improving the display panel's ability to resist static electricity abnormal display flicker.
