Description

[0003] Virtual Reality (VR) displays currently have two main structures: LTPS (Low Temperature Poly-Silicon)-VR panels and LTPO (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide)-VR panels. Because VR displays require high resolution (>1000 PPI) to enhance immersion and realism, VR panels require a very high PPI and extremely small pixel size to meet current VR requirements. However, due to the structural limitations of their high PPI, LTPS-VR and LTPO-VR panels have a lower in-plane aperture ratio than conventional products, resulting in lower brightness. Currently, this brightness is compensated by increasing the backlight brightness, but high backlight brightness can cause channel leakage current to deteriorate, affecting product display quality.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, a display device is provided, including a display panel 1 .

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, a display panel 1 is provided. Display panel 1 is a liquid crystal display panel, and display panel 1 is used as the display panel in a VR display. Referring to Figures 1a, 1b, and 3 through 6, display panel 1 includes a first substrate 10 and a second substrate 20 disposed opposite each other. A liquid crystal layer (not shown) is disposed between first substrate 10 and second substrate 20. The liquid crystal layer comprises a plurality of liquid crystal molecules. Display panel 1 includes a display area 11 and a border area 12. Border area 12 is disposed on at least one side of display area 11.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 1 a and FIG. 1 b , the first substrate 10 includes: a base substrate 110 , a light shielding layer 120 and a thin film transistor.

[0036] Referring to Figures 1a and 1b , the first substrate 10 is an array substrate, and the second substrate 20 is a color filter (CF) substrate. The base substrate 110 has a thickness direction X. The first substrate 10 further includes a buffer layer 111, a barrier layer 112, an insulating layer, a color resist layer 115, and a planarization layer stacked along the thickness direction X on the surface of the base substrate 110. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in Figures 1a and 1b , the insulating layer includes a first gate insulating layer 1131 and a first interlayer insulating layer 1141 stacked along the thickness direction X, and the planarization layer includes a first planarization layer 1161. The barrier layer 112 provides a barrier to external moisture, preventing moisture from entering the thin film transistor. The color resist layer 115 includes a red photoresist unit 1151, a green photoresist unit 1152, and a blue photoresist unit (not shown).

[0037] 1a and 1b , the thin film transistor includes a first thin film transistor 131, which is disposed in the display area 11. The first thin film transistor 131 includes a first active layer 1311, a first gate electrode 1312, and a first source and drain electrode. The first active layer 1311 is disposed on a side of the barrier layer 112 facing away from the buffer layer 111 in the thickness direction X. A first gate insulating layer 1131 covers the first active layer 1311. The first active layer 1311 includes a first channel portion 1311a and two conductor portions 1311b, one on either side of the first channel portion 1311a. "Located on either side of the first channel portion 1311a" refers to two sides parallel to the surface of the substrate 110. The first gate electrode 1312 is insulated and spaced apart above the side of the first active layer 1311 facing away from the substrate 110 in the thickness direction X. Specifically, the first gate 1312 is arranged on the side of the first gate insulating layer 1131 that is away from the base substrate 110 in the thickness direction X. The first gate 1312 is insulated from the first active layer 1311 by the first gate insulating layer 1131 and arranged at intervals. The first interlayer insulating layer 1141 covers the first gate 1312. The first source and drain include a first source 1313 and a first drain 1314 that are arranged in the same layer and at intervals. The first source and drain are arranged on the side of the first interlayer insulating layer 1141 that is away from the first gate insulating layer 1131 in the thickness direction X. The color resist layer 115 covers the first source and drain.

[0038] Among them, the orthographic projection of the first gate 1312 on the base substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the first source and drain on the base substrate 110 intersect with each other to form a grid shape, and a through hole is opened on the first interlayer insulating layer 1141, which passes through the first interlayer insulating layer 1141 and the first gate insulating layer 1131 in sequence along the thickness direction X. The through hole exposes the first conductor portion 1311b, and the first source 1313 is connected to one first conductor portion 1311b through a through hole, and the first drain 1314 is connected to another first conductor portion 1311b through another through hole.

[0039] In the embodiment shown in FIG1a and FIG1b , the first active layer 1311 in the first thin film transistor 131 is low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS), the first thin film transistor 131 is a low temperature poly-silicon thin film transistor, and the display panel 1 is an LTPS-VR display panel.

[0040] Referring to Figures 1a and 1b, a light-shielding layer 120 is disposed between the base substrate 110 and the thin-film transistor. Specifically, the light-shielding layer 120 is disposed in the buffer layer 111 and includes a first light-shielding trace 121 and a second light-shielding trace 122. Both the first light-shielding trace 121 and the second light-shielding trace 122 are disposed in the display area 11. Referring to Figure 5, the first light-shielding trace 121 and the second light-shielding trace 122 intersect to form a grid. Specifically, the orthographic projections of the first light-shielding trace 121 and the second light-shielding trace 122 on the base substrate 110 intersect to form a grid.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1a and 5, a plurality of first thin film transistors 131 can be set in the display area 11, and one first thin film transistor 131 corresponds in quantity to one first light-shielding trace 121 and two second light-shielding traces 122. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the first gate 1312 on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding trace 121 on the base substrate 110, the orthographic projection of the first source 1313 in the first source and drain electrodes on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of one second light-shielding trace 122 on the base substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the first drain 1314 on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of another second light-shielding trace 122 on the base substrate 110.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1b, the orthographic projection of the first gate 1312 on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding trace 121 on the base substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the first source and drain on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding trace 121 on the base substrate 110.

[0043] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first gate 1312 on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of the second light-shielding trace 122 on the base substrate 110 , and the orthographic projection of the first source and drain on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding trace 121 on the base substrate 110 .

[0044] Generally, LTPS-VR display panels and LTPO-VR display panels are limited by the high PPI (resolution) structural design, and the in-plane aperture ratio is lower than that of conventional products, resulting in low brightness. At this stage, brightness compensation is carried out by increasing the backlight brightness, but the high backlight brightness causes the channel leakage current to deteriorate, resulting in poor crosstalk resistance of VR products.

[0045] Furthermore, due to the extremely small pixel size of VR display panels (a single pixel is approximately 5 μm), the alignment and lamination of the second substrate 20 to the first substrate 10 requires much higher precision than conventional products, making it very susceptible to color shift and uneven illumination caused by misalignment. This problem can be addressed through lamination precision optimization and a COA (CF on Array) structure, but lamination precision is limited by equipment capabilities, leaving limited room for improvement. Furthermore, the black matrix (BM) on the array side of the COA structure is typically made of materials such as an organic BM layer, a metal low-reflectivity stacked BM, or a low-reflectivity oxide (BMO). While this can significantly improve color shift, a certain failure rate still exists.

[0046] The display panel 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the grid structure of the first light-shielding traces 121 and the second light-shielding traces 122, blocks the light from the backlight in the upward direction (X direction) that directly hits the lower surface of the first gate 1312 and the lower surface of the first source and drain, reduces the reflected light intensity of the first gate 1312 and the first source and drain, avoids the phenomenon of leakage current caused by reflected light, improves the anti-crosstalk capability, and enhances the display quality of the display panel.

[0047] Furthermore, the display panel 1 provided in the embodiments of the present application incorporates a color-resistance layer 115 within the first substrate 10, forming a COA (CF on Array) structural design. Referring to Figures 1a and 1b and Figures 2a and 2b, the color-resistance layer 115 is disposed on the side of the first source and drain electrodes facing away from the first gate electrode 1312 in the thickness direction X, and the color-resistance layer 115 covers the first source and drain electrodes. The combination of the color-resistance layer 115 and the light-shielding layer 120 can improve color shift and uneven light emission in the display panel 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, the light shielding layer 120 is made of a metal oxide, or alternatively, the light shielding layer 120 is made of a stacked metal layer and a non-metallic dielectric layer. Specifically, the metal oxide is a high-temperature-resistant, low-reflectivity metal oxide, thereby enabling the first light shielding traces 121 and the second light shielding traces 122 in the light shielding layer 120 to have a low reflectivity. This prevents light-induced leakage current caused by backlight and light reflected from the upper metal layer being reflected from the surface of the light shielding layer 120 to the first channel portion 1311a of the first active layer 1311, thereby improving crosstalk resistance and enhancing the display quality of the display panel.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1a and 1b, in the first active layer 1311, the orthographic projections of the two first conductor portions 1311b on the base substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the first channel portion 1311a on the base substrate 110 are both located within the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding trace 121 on the base substrate 110.

[0050] In some embodiments, in the first active layer 1311 , the orthographic projections of the two first conductor portions 1311 b and the orthographic projection of the first channel portion 1311 a on the base substrate 110 are both located within the orthographic projection of the second light-shielding trace 122 on the base substrate 110 .

[0051] In some embodiments, only the orthographic projection of the first channel portion 1311 a on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding trace 121 on the base substrate 110 .

[0052] In some embodiments, only the orthographic projection of the first channel portion 1311 a on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the second light-shielding trace 122 on the base substrate 110 .

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1a, 1b, and 6, the display panel 1 further includes a light-blocking layer 140. The light-blocking layer 140 is disposed on a side of the thin-film transistor facing away from the base substrate 110 in the thickness direction X, and the light-blocking layer 140 includes a first light-blocking trace 141 and a second light-blocking trace 142. Referring to Figure 6, the first light-blocking trace 141 and the second light-blocking trace 142 are disposed in the display area 11. Specifically, referring to Figures 1a, 1b, and 2a and 2b, the display panel 1 further includes a pixel electrode layer 117, a passivation layer 118, and a common electrode layer 119. The pixel electrode layer 117 is disposed in the display area 11. The pixel electrode layer 117 includes a plurality of pixel electrodes 1171 arranged at intervals, and the pixel electrode layer 117 is disposed on a side of the first planarization layer 1161 facing away from the color resist layer 115 in the thickness direction X. The passivation layer 118 is disposed on a side of the pixel electrode layer 117 facing away from the first planarization layer 1161 in the thickness direction X. The common electrode layer 119 is disposed on the side of the passivation layer 118 facing away from the pixel electrode layer 117 in the thickness direction X. The common electrode layer 119 includes a plurality of spaced common electrodes 1191. A through hole is defined on the side of the first planarization layer 1161 facing away from the color resist layer 115 in the thickness direction X, penetrating the first planarization layer 1161 and the color resist layer 115. The pixel electrode 1171 is connected to the first drain electrode 1314 through the through hole. The passivation layer 118 and the common electrode 1191 are stacked and filled in the through hole. The through hole is also filled with a second planarization layer 1162, which extends along the thickness direction X. The end surface of the second planarization layer 1162 facing away from the first drain electrode 1314 in the thickness direction X is flush with the side of the common electrode 1191 facing away from the passivation layer 118. The first light-blocking trace 141 is arranged on the side of the common electrode 1191 away from the passivation layer 118. The first light-blocking trace 141 and the first light-shielding trace 121 are arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction X. The second light-blocking trace 142 and the second light-shielding trace 122 are arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction X. The orthographic projection of the first light-blocking trace 141 on the base substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the second light-blocking trace 142 on the base substrate 110 intersect with each other to form a grid.

[0054] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1a and 1b and Figures 2a and 2b, the orthographic projection of the first gate 1312 on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the first light-blocking trace 141 on the base substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the first source and drain on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the first light-blocking trace 141 on the base substrate 110.

[0055] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first gate 1312 on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the second light-blocking trace 142 on the base substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the first source and drain on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the second light-blocking trace 142 on the base substrate 110.

[0056] In some embodiments, one first thin film transistor 131 corresponds in number to one first light-blocking trace 141 and two second light-blocking traces 142. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the first gate electrode 1312 on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of the first light-blocking trace 141 on the base substrate 110, the orthographic projection of the first source electrode 1313 of the first source and drain electrodes on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of one second light-blocking trace 142 on the base substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the first drain electrode 1314 on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of another second light-blocking trace 142 on the base substrate 110.

[0057] The display panel 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a color resist layer 115 arranged in the first substrate 10 to form a COA (CF On Array) structure, and a light shielding layer 120 and a light blocking layer 140 are simultaneously arranged in the first substrate 10. The light shielding layer 120 blocks the light emitted upward by the backlight, and can form a reflection of the light emitted by the backlight by the upper metal layer (such as the first gate 1312 and the first source and drain). The first light blocking line 141 and the second light blocking line 142 in the light blocking layer 140 cross to form a grid structure to block the upper surface of the first source and drain and the first gate 1312, forming a COA+double light shielding (light shielding layer 120+light blocking layer 140) structural design, which can effectively solve the problems of uneven light leakage and color deviation of metal. The light blocking layer 140 and the light shielding layer 120 are aligned to effectively avoid color deviation caused by lamination deviation, thereby improving the display quality of the display panel 1.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 2 a and FIG. 2 b , a base substrate 110 includes a base substrate 110, a buffer layer 111, a barrier layer 112, an insulating layer, a color resist layer 115, a first planarization layer 1161, a pixel electrode layer 117, a passivation layer 118, and a common electrode layer 119 stacked along a thickness direction X.
