[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on September 22, 2023, with application number 202311236720.3 and application name “A display panel and display device”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0003] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to a display panel and a display device. Background Art
[0004] In recent years, the technology of fabricating a touchscreen structure directly on the encapsulation layer of an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display panel (Flexible Multi-Layer On Cell, FMLOC) has gained widespread adoption due to its ability to produce lighter and thinner display devices. As demand for flexible screens grows, organic film layers are sometimes used as touchscreen insulation to meet market demands. However, this design also makes the touchscreen structure susceptible to short circuits in the peripheral area of the display panel, resulting in a decrease in the display panel's yield rate.

[0060] FIG1 shows a top view of a display panel. As shown in FIG1 , the display panel can be any device that displays either motion (e.g., video) or fixed (e.g., still images) and whether text or images. More specifically, it is expected that the embodiments described may be implemented in or associated with a variety of electronic devices, such as (but not limited to) mobile phones, wireless devices, personal data assistants (PDAs), handheld or portable computers, GPS receivers / navigators, cameras, MP4 video players, video cameras, game consoles, watches, clocks, calculators, television monitors, flat-panel displays, computer monitors, car displays (e.g., odometer displays, etc.), navigators, cockpit controls and / or displays, displays of camera views (e.g., displays of rearview cameras in vehicles), electronic photos, electronic billboards or signs, projectors, architectural structures, packaging, and aesthetic structures (e.g., displays of images of a piece of jewelry), etc. FIG1 illustrates the display panel as a mobile phone as an example.
[0061] Figure 2 illustrates a cross-sectional structure of a portion of the structure along section line Ⅰ' in Figure 1 in a related art. As shown in Figure 2, the display panel includes a substrate 100. Substrate 100 includes a display area A and a peripheral area B. Peripheral area B includes a binding area B1 spaced apart from display area A, and a transition area B2 located between the binding area and the display area. The source / drain metal layer includes a binding portion 1051 / 1061 located at least partially in binding area B1 and a connecting portion 1062 located in the transition area. The binding portion 1051 / 1061 is electrically connected to the connecting portion 1062. A planarization layer 107 is disposed on substrate 100, and a first organic insulating layer 109 is disposed on the side of the planarization layer away from the substrate. The first metal structure 1081 is located in the peripheral area and is at least partially disposed on the side of the first organic insulating layer 109 away from the substrate 100. The second organic insulating layer 110 is at least partially located in the transition area B2 and is disposed on the side of the first metal structure 1081 away from the substrate, and has a fifth opening K5. The second metal structure 1082 is located in the peripheral area and is at least partially disposed on the side of the second organic insulating layer 110 away from the substrate, and is electrically connected to the first metal structure through the fifth opening K5.
[0062] Continuing to refer to Figures 2 and 8, Figure 8 shows a top view of the partial structure corresponding to the area where the dotted box M in Figure 2 is located. In related technologies, in order to meet the needs of flexible screens, the touch insulation layer of the OLED display panel will select organic materials. However, since the organic material is thicker than the original inorganic touch insulation layer, a more obvious step will be formed at the boundary position of the first organic insulation layer 109 and the second organic insulation layer 110, which will lead to metal residue 113 being easily generated at the step during the production process of the first metal structure 1081 and the second metal structure 1082. This part of the metal residue can easily cause electrical connection between adjacent metal structures, thereby causing a short circuit and affecting product yield.
[0063] In order to solve the problems existing in the related art, the present invention proposes a display panel, which may be a liquid crystal display panel (LCD); the display panel may also be an electroluminescent display panel or a photoluminescent display panel. In the case where the display panel is an electroluminescent display panel, the electroluminescent display panel may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display panel. In the case where the display panel is a photoluminescent display panel, the photoluminescent display device may be a quantum dot photoluminescent display panel. The present invention is described by taking the display panel as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel as an example.
[0064] Figures 3 to 7 illustrate schematic cross-sectional views of portions of the structure along section line Ⅰ' in Figure 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figures 3 to 7, the display panel includes a substrate 100. Substrate 100 includes a display area A and a peripheral area B surrounding the display area. Peripheral area B includes a bonding area B1 spaced apart from display area A and a transition area B2 located between the bonding area and the display area. The source / drain metal layer includes a bonding portion 1051 / 1061 located at least partially within bonding area B1 and a connecting portion 1062 located within the transition area. The bonding portions 1051 / 1061 are electrically connected to the connecting portion 1062. A planarization layer 107 is disposed on substrate 100 and includes a first opening K1 located within the bonding area and a first via G1 located within the transition area. The first opening K1 exposes the bonding portions 1051 / 1061, while the first via G1 exposes the connecting portion. A first organic insulating layer 109 is located within the display area A and the peripheral area B and is disposed on the side of the planarization layer 107 away from the substrate. The first organic insulating layer 109 includes a third via G3 corresponding to the first via G1. The first metal structure 1081 is located in the peripheral region B and is at least partially disposed on a side of the first organic insulating layer 109 away from the substrate. The orthographic projection of the first metal structure 1081 on the substrate at least covers the orthographic projections of the first opening K1 and the first via G1 on the substrate. The first metal structure 1081 is electrically connected to the connecting portion 1062 via the first via G1 and the third via G3. The second metal structure 1082 is located in the peripheral region B and is disposed on a side of the first metal structure away from the substrate.
[0065] For example, referring again to Figures 3 to 7 , the transition region includes a first transition region B21, a second transition region B23, and a bend region B22 located between the first and second transition regions B21 and B23. The first transition region B21 is located between the bend region B22 and the display region A, and the second transition region B23 is located between the bend region B22 and the binding region B1. The first and third vias G1 and G3 are located in the second transition region B23. The planarization layer 107 also includes a second via G2 located in the first transition region B21, exposing the connection portion 1062. The connection portion 1062 is located in the first transition region B21, the bend region B22, and the second transition region B23, forming a continuous structure. The first organic insulating layer also includes a fourth via G4 corresponding to the second via G2. The display panel also includes a second organic insulating layer 110, which is disposed on the side of the first organic insulating layer 109 away from the substrate 100 and includes a sixth via G6 located in the display region A. The touch metal layer 111 includes a first touch metal layer 1111, which is disposed in the display area and at least partially extends into the transition area B2. The first touch metal layer 1111 is located on the side of the second organic insulating layer 110 away from the substrate 100. Furthermore, the first touch metal layer 1111 includes a first touch electrode located in the display area A and a first touch trace located in the transition area B2. The first touch trace is electrically connected to the connection portion 1062 via a second via G2 and a fourth via G4. The touch metal layer 111 also includes a second touch metal layer 1112, which is located on the side of the second organic insulating layer 110 closer to the substrate 100 and on the side of the first organic insulating layer 109 away from the substrate 100. The second touch metal layer 1112 is electrically connected to the first touch metal layer 1111 via a sixth via G6. Because the connection portion 1062 is located in the transition area, it avoids conflict with other traces in the display area, preventing interference between traces and improving product yield.
[0066] For example, as shown in FIG3 , the second metal structure 1082 is located in the peripheral region B and is disposed on the side of the first metal structure 1081 away from the substrate 100, and is in direct contact with the first metal structure 1081. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG9 , FIG9 shows a top view of the portion of the structure corresponding to the area indicated by the dashed box M in FIG3 . By removing the second organic insulating layer in the transition region B2, the first metal structure 1081 and the second metal structure 1082 are in direct contact in the transition region B2. That is, there is no second organic insulating layer between the first metal structure 1081 and the second metal structure 1082, and thus no step formed by the second organic insulating layer. This prevents the generation of metal residue during the fabrication of the second metal structure 1082. At this point, since the residue of the first metal structure 1081 originally generated at the boundary of the first organic insulating layer is not protected by the second organic insulating layer, the residue of the first metal structure 1081 generated at the boundary of the first organic insulating layer 109 can be further etched during the patterning process of the second metal structure 1082, thereby avoiding short circuit problems caused by metal residue at this location and ensuring product yield.
[0067] For example, the second organic insulating layer 110 has a second boundary J2 located in the transition region B2. The orthographic projection of the second boundary J2 on the substrate 100 is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the first touch trace on the substrate away from the display area A. As shown in Figure 1, the orthographic projection of the second boundary J2 on the substrate is located in the first transition region B21. However, in actual manufacturing processes, due to certain process instabilities, there is a certain possibility that metal residue generated at the second boundary J2 will connect with the second touch metal layer 1112 in the display area, causing a short circuit.
[0068] To further address this issue, as an example, referring to Figure 4 , the orthographic projection of the second boundary J2 of the second organic insulating layer on the substrate is located at the bend region B22 . In this embodiment, the second boundary J2 of the second organic insulating layer is located farther from the display area. This prevents metal residue at the boundary from causing short circuits between the second touch metal layer 1112 in the display area and thereby improves product yield. Exemplarily, the distance from the second boundary J2 of the second organic insulating layer 110 to the display area A is greater than or equal to 1600 μm.
[0069] For example, as shown in Figures 4 to 7, the first organic insulating layer 109 has a first boundary J1, which is the boundary of the first organic insulating layer 109 away from the display area A. The distance between the orthographic projection of the first boundary J1 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the first opening K1 on the substrate is greater than or equal to 50 μm.
[0070] For example, as shown in Figures 6 and 7 , the first boundary J1 is located on the side of the binding region B1 away from the display area A, and the orthographic projection of the first boundary J1 on the substrate is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the first metal structure 1081 on the substrate away from the display area A. By setting the spacing between the orthographic projection of the first boundary J1 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the first opening K1 on the substrate to be greater than or equal to 50 μm, the spacing between the first organic insulating layer 109 and the metal structure 108 can be maintained during the fabrication of the metal structure 108, preventing metal residue formed at the first boundary J1 from causing a connection between the metal structures and resulting in a short circuit, thereby improving product yield.
[0071] In some other embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figure 5, the orthographic projection of the first boundary J1 of the first organic insulating layer 109 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the first metal structure 1081 and the second metal structure 1082 on the substrate. The second organic insulating layer 110 includes a first organic sub-insulating portion 1101 disposed in the display area A and extending at least partially to the transition area B2. The first organic sub-insulating portion 1101 is disposed on the side of the first organic insulating layer 109 away from the substrate 100 and is provided with a sixth via G6 located in the display area. The second touch metal layer 1112 is electrically connected to the first touch metal layer 1111 through the sixth via G6. Furthermore, the second organic insulating layer 110 has a second organic sub-insulating portion 1102 at least partially located in the second transition area B23 and a fourth opening K4 located between the first organic sub-insulating portion 1101 and the second organic sub-insulating portion 1102. The orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 100 at least partially overlaps with the bend area B22. That is, the second organic insulating layer 110 does not exist in at least part of the bending area B22, which can reduce the film thickness of the bending area B22, reduce the bending stress on the film when the bending area B22 bends, and improve the product yield.
[0072] For example, referring again to FIG. 5 , the first metal structure 1081 is disposed in the binding region B1 and the second transition region B23. The first metal structure 1081 has a third opening K3 in the second transition region B23. The orthographic projection of the first boundary J1 on the substrate lies within the orthographic projection of the third opening K3 on the substrate, i.e., a first gap exists between the first boundary J1 and the binding region B1. On the side of the third opening K3 proximate to the display region A, the first metal structure 1081, the second organic sub-insulating portion 1102, and the second metal structure 1082 are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the substrate. The second organic sub-insulating portion 1102 also has a fifth opening K5 in the second transition region B23, electrically connecting the first metal structure 1081 and the second metal structure 1082 via the fifth opening K5. The second organic sub-insulating portion 1102 has a third boundary J3 and a fourth boundary J4. The orthographic projection of the third boundary J3 on the substrate 100 lies on the side of the orthographic projection of the fourth boundary J4 on the substrate away from the display region A. The orthographic projections of the third boundary J3 and the fourth boundary J4 on the substrate are located between the orthographic projections of the first gap and the fourth opening K4 on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the third boundary J3 on the substrate is located on a side of the orthographic projection of the first boundary J1 on the substrate 100 close to the display area A.
[0073] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG10 , which illustrates a top view of the portion of the structure corresponding to the area indicated by the dashed box M in FIG5 , the first metal structure 1081 is provided with a third opening K3, thereby creating a disconnected region in the second transition region B23. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the third boundary J3 of the second organic sub-insulating portion 1102 on the substrate is positioned between the first gap and the orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate. This arrangement allows for a certain distance between the boundary of the second organic sub-insulating portion 1102 and both the first metal structure 1081 and the second metal structure 1082 located in the binding region B1 and the second transition region B23. This arrangement ensures electrical connection, and even if metal residue is generated at the boundary of the organic insulating layer, it prevents electrical connection between adjacent metal structures 108. This prevents short circuits caused by metal residue and improves product yield. In addition, by designing two via transfers in the second transition area B23, it is possible to avoid line interference between the binding part 1051 / 1061 and other lines (not shown in the figure) located in the second transition area B23 while ensuring electrical connection and isolation effects, thereby ensuring product performance.
[0074] For example, as shown in Figures 6 and 11 , the first boundary J1 is located on the side of the binding region B1 away from the display region A, and the orthographic projection of the first boundary J1 on the substrate is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the first metal structure 1081 on the substrate away from the display region A. The first organic insulating layer 109 has a fifth via G5 corresponding to the first opening K1. The first metal structure 1081 is electrically connected to the binding portion 1051 / 1061 via the first opening K1 and the fifth via G5. The second organic insulating layer 110 has a second organic sub-insulating portion 1102 at least partially located in the second transition region B23 and a fourth opening K4 located between the first and second organic sub-insulating portions 1101 and 1102. The orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate is at least partially aligned with the bend region B22. The second organic sub-insulating portion includes a fifth opening K5 located in the second transition region B23 and a seventh via G7 located in the binding region B1. The first metal structure 1081 is electrically connected to the second metal structure 1082 via the fifth opening and the seventh via. The second organic sub-insulating portion 1102 has a third boundary J3 and a fourth boundary J4. The orthographic projection of the third boundary J3 on the substrate is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the fourth boundary J4 on the substrate away from the display area A, and the orthographic projection of the third boundary J3 on the substrate is located on the side of the binding area B1 away from the display area A. By making the boundary of the organic insulating layer outside the binding area, it can play a certain protective role when etching the metal structure and avoid side etching.
[0075] Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the third boundary J3 on the substrate is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the first boundary J1 on the substrate away from the display area A. This arrangement allows for a certain distance between the boundary of the organic insulating layer and the metal structure. This prevents the metal residue from causing a connection between the metal structure and a short circuit, even if metal residue is generated at the boundary of the organic insulating layer. Furthermore, because the orthographic projection of the third boundary J3 on the substrate is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the first boundary J1 on the substrate away from the display area A, that is, because the second organic insulating layer 110 covers the first organic insulating layer 109, this prevents the metal residue generated at the third boundary J3 of the second organic insulating layer 110 from connecting with the metal residue generated at the first boundary J1 of the first organic insulating layer 109, thereby preventing the risk of a short circuit, thereby further improving product yield. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 7 and 12, the second organic insulating layer 110 located at the second transition area B23 and the binding area B1 can also be eliminated. By removing the second organic insulating layer 110 located at the second transition area B23 and the binding area B1, the first metal structure 1081 and the second metal structure 1082 are in direct contact with the second transition area B23 and the binding area B1, and there is no step formed by the second organic insulating layer 110. Therefore, the generation of metal residue during the production process of the second metal structure 1082 can be avoided.
[0076] For example, the orthographic projection of the fourth boundary J4 of the second organic sub-insulating portion 1102 on the substrate is located at the bend region B22. In this embodiment, the fourth boundary J4 of the second organic sub-insulating portion 1102 is located farther from the metal structure. This prevents metal residue at the boundary from causing short circuits between metal structures, thereby improving product yield.
[0077] Illustratively, the first organic sub-insulating portion 1101 has a second boundary J2, the orthographic projection of which on the substrate 100 is located on the side of the fourth opening K4 closer to the display area A. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the second boundary J2 on the substrate is located in the bend area B22. In this embodiment, the second boundary J2 of the first organic sub-insulating portion 1101 is located farther from the display area. This prevents metal residue at the boundary from causing short circuits between the second touch metal layer 1112 in the display area and thereby improves product yield.
[0078] Exemplarily, as shown in Figures 3 to 7, the source-drain metal layer includes a first source-drain metal layer 105 and a second source-drain metal layer 106, and the binding portion 1051 / 1061 includes a first binding portion 1051 and a second binding portion 1061. The first source-drain metal layer 105 has a first binding portion 1051, and the second source-drain metal layer 106 has a second binding portion 1061 and a connecting portion 1062. The passivation layer 104 is at least partially located in the binding area B1. The first source-drain metal layer 105, the passivation layer 104, and the second source-drain metal layer 106 are arranged in sequence in a direction away from the substrate. The passivation layer 104 has a second opening K2 located in the binding area B1, and the first binding portion 1051 and the second binding portion 1061 are electrically connected through the second opening K2.
[0079] For example, the first metal structure 1081 and the first touch metal layer 1111 are set in the same layer and the same material, and / or the second metal structure 1082 and the second touch metal layer 1112 are set in the same layer and the same material. In this way, the film layer of the metal structure and the film layer of the touch metal can be formed through a single patterning process, thereby reducing the number of patterning processes of the display panel, simplifying the manufacturing process of the display panel, and saving production costs.
[0080] Exemplarily, as shown in Figures 1 to 7, the display panel also includes a pixel definition layer 101 and a light-emitting layer 102 arranged on the substrate 100 and located in the display area A. The light-emitting layer may include a red light-emitting layer that emits red light, a green light-emitting layer that emits green light, and a blue light-emitting layer that emits blue light. It should be noted that this is only an exemplary description of the light-emitting color of the light-emitting layer, but is not limited to this. The light-emitting layer can also be used to emit light of other colors, such as yellow light and white light, which will not be repeated here. The pixel definition layer 101 has a sixth opening K6 so that the light-emitting layer 102 is arranged in the sixth opening. The pixel definition layer 101 can prevent light-emitting layers of different colors from mixing. Optionally, the material of the pixel definition layer 101 may include a black material to absorb ambient light incident on the display panel to prevent the ambient light from being reflected and emitted and affecting the contrast of the display panel during display.
[0081] For example, as shown in Figures 1 to 7 , the display panel further includes an encapsulation layer 103 located on a side of the pixel definition layer 101 and the light-emitting layer 102 away from the substrate 100. Encapsulation layer 103 is at least partially located in the display area A, and its orthographic projection on substrate 100 covers the orthographic projections of the pixel definition layer 101 and the light-emitting layer 102 on the substrate. Encapsulation layer 103 can, for example, be a thin film encapsulation layer, i.e., a thin film encapsulation structure comprising an inorganic encapsulation layer, an organic encapsulation layer, and an inorganic encapsulation layer stacked together, which will not be described in detail here.
[0082] Illustratively, the first organic insulating layer 109 is at least partially disposed on a side of the encapsulation layer 103 away from the substrate.
[0083] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the display panel may also include other film layer structures such as an active layer, a gate layer, a source / drain layer, a passivation layer, etc., and Figures 1 to 7 of the present invention only show part of the film layer structure in the display panel.
