[0094] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments of the present disclosure. Moreover, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict, if possible. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0095] Unless otherwise defined, technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should be understood as their ordinary meanings to a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms “first”, “second” and similar words used in the present disclosure do not represent any order, number or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. The terms “include” or “contain” and similar words mean that the components or objects before the words cover the components or objects listed after the words and their equivalents, without excluding other components or objects. The terms “connect” or “connected” and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.

[0096] It is to be noted that the size and shape of the figures in the drawings do not reflect true proportions, but are intended to illustrate the present disclosure. Also, the same or similar reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function.

[0097] Currently, the display device formed based on the glass substrate or the flexible plastic (Polyimide, PI) substrate thin film transistor (TFT) device can only stop at 500-600 resolution (Pixels Per Inch, PPI), and cannot meet the needs of AR / VR applications higher than 1800PPI.

[0098] For example, the existing low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) technology or low temperature poly-oxide (LTPO) technology adopts 7T1C or 8T1C internal compensation circuit, and since more thin film transistor devices are used, it is difficult to achieve high resolution, and can only stop at 600PPI. The oxide technology adopts 3T1C external compensation circuit, and the oxide type thin film transistor based on the glass substrate or the flexible plastic (Polyimide, PI) substrate needs to consider the device stability, the device size cannot be small, and the low mobility, etc. It can only be applied to large size (pitch) low PPI products (such as televisions).

[0099] Low temperature poly-oxide (Low-Temperature-Polycrystalline-Oxide, LTPO) technology is a technology for simultaneously preparing low temperature poly-silicon type thin film transistors and oxide type thin film transistors on the same substrate. The LTPO technology fully utilizes the advantages of the two types of thin film transistors to make the display device have lower power consumption and superior performance, that is, by combining the low leakage current characteristics of the oxide type thin film transistor and the high mobility characteristics of the low temperature poly-silicon type thin film transistor, the vertical placement of the low temperature poly-silicon type thin film transistor and the oxide type thin film transistor can solve the problem of too many thin film transistor devices, but it brings the problem of too many vias, and the bottleneck of the via connection layer causes the resolution to reach 1000PPI and cannot be improved.

[0100] Therefore, the existing display panel is difficult to achieve high resolution due to the manufacturing process, and therefore a high resolution display panel has become a technology that must be overcome.

[0101] To solve the above technical problems, the display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, comprises: a substrate 100, a plurality of sub-pixels (for example, spx1 and spx2 in FIG. 1) and a plurality of pixel circuits 200 located on the substrate 100; at least two adjacent sub-pixels (for example, spx1 and spx2 in FIG. 1) are arranged correspondingly for each pixel circuit 200.

[0102] Each sub-pixel (for example, spx1 and spx2 in FIGS. 2 and 3) comprises one light emitting device (for example, L1 and L2 in FIGS. 2 and 3); the first electrodes (for example, S1 in FIG. 3) of the light emitting devices (for example, L1 and L2 in FIG. 3) in the at least two adjacent sub-pixels (for example, spx1 and spx2 in FIG. 3) are the same electrode, the first electrodes (for example, S1 in FIG. 3) of the light emitting devices (for example, L1 and L2 in FIG. 3) are electrically connected with the pixel circuit 200 arranged correspondingly, the second electrodes (for example, S2-1 and S2-2 in FIG. 3) of the light emitting devices (for example, L1 and L2 in FIG. 3) in the two adjacent sub-pixels (for example, spx1 and spx2 in FIG. 3) are respectively arranged independently and separately, and the second electrodes of the light emitting devices (for example, L1 and L2 in FIG. 2) in the at least two adjacent sub-pixels are respectively electrically connected with two first power signal lines (for example, VSS1 and VSS2 in FIG. 2) in one-to-one correspondence; the two first power signal lines (for example, VSS1 and VSS2 in FIG. 2) load effective level signals in time division.

[0103] The pixel circuit 200 is configured to drive the light emitting device (for example, L1 and L2 in FIG. 2) to emit light when the first power signal line (for example, VSS1 and VSS2 in FIG. 2) loads the effective level signal.

[0104] The embodiments of the present disclosure make the first electrodes of the light emitting devices in the at least two adjacent sub-pixels the same electrode, electrically connect the first electrodes of the light emitting devices with the pixel circuit arranged correspondingly, make the second electrodes of the light emitting devices in the two adjacent sub-pixels respectively arranged independently and separately, electrically connect the second electrodes of the light emitting devices in the at least two adjacent sub-pixels with the two first power signal lines in one-to-one correspondence, load the effective level signals in time division by the two first power signal lines, drive the at least two adjacent sub-pixels to emit light by one pixel circuit in time division, ensure the size of the sub-pixel to be smaller, and thus realize the display of high resolution (Pixels Per Inch, PPI) and improve the display effect; and by combining the 1um signal line width, 1um signal line spacing and 1.5um via process capability, the resolution of the display panel can reach more than 1800PPI.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 3-8, the first electrode layer 10 (e.g., as shown in FIG. 4), the pixel definition layer 20 (e.g., as shown in FIG. 5), the electroluminescent layer 30 (e.g., as shown in FIG. 6), and the second electrode layer 40 (e.g., as shown in FIG. 7) arranged in sequence together constitute a plurality of light emitting devices (e.g., L1, L2 in FIG. 3); the first electrode layer 10 is arranged in two layers, and the first electrode layer 10 includes the first electrodes S1 of the plurality of light emitting devices L1, L2; the second electrode layer 40 includes the second electrodes S2-1, S2-2 of the plurality of light emitting devices L1, L2; the orthographic projection of one first electrode S1 on the substrate 100 overlaps the orthographic projection of at least two adjacent second electrodes S2-1, S2-2 on the substrate 100.

[0106] For example, the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer are both made of conductive material; for example, the conductive material can include metal materials such as aluminum, molybdenum, titanium, or alloy materials, and can also include metal oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and the like, which are not specifically limited herein.

[0107] For example, the pixel definition layer is made of insulating material, which can be selected as needed from organic insulating materials such as polyimide, resin materials, and the like, or inorganic insulating materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, and the like, which are not specifically limited herein.

[0108] For example, by arranging the first electrode layer in two layers, the first electrode layer can be etched more finely; and etching the first electrode layer and the pixel definition layer in combination with a dry etching process is conducive to high PPI design and facilitates high PPI.

[0109] For example, the light emitting device can be an electroluminescent diode. For example, the light emitting device can include at least one of an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED), a micro light emitting diode (Micro LED), a mini light emitting diode (Mini LED), and the like. For example, the electroluminescent layer of the light emitting device can further include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and the like. Of course, in actual applications, the specific structure of the light emitting device can be determined according to the needs of actual applications, which are not limited herein.

[0110] It should be noted that when the light emitting device is a single layer (Single) structure, a single pixel definition layer can be used, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a pixel definition layer 20 is used; but if the light emitting device is a stacked layer (Tandem) structure, a double-layer pixel definition layer is needed to form a partition structure in the light emitting device of the stacked layer structure to define the light emitting area. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 9, a single layer of pixel definition layer 21 is disposed on the pixel definition layer 20. The stacked layer structure refers to stacking multiple light emitting devices (usually two or more) to achieve higher brightness and lower power consumption. The stacked layer structure can significantly improve the performance of the display panel, including higher brightness, longer service life and lower energy consumption.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 10a, the second electrodes S2-1, S2-2 of the plurality of light emitting devices extend along the first direction F1, and the second electrodes S2-1, S2-2 of the plurality of light emitting devices are arranged in sequence along the second direction F2.

[0112] For example, when making the second electrodes of the plurality of light emitting devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure, Open Mask is used. Open Mask is a kind of metal mask plate, which is used to accurately control the position and shape of material deposition in the semiconductor manufacturing process, especially in the evaporation process of OLED display panel. In the evaporation process of the display panel, Open Mask can ensure that the organic material or other functional material is only deposited in the predetermined area, thereby forming the required pixel or circuit structure. Its high-precision pattern design is the key to realizing high resolution and high color saturation of the display panel. The pattern accuracy of Open Mask can usually reach microns or even finer to meet the needs of fine patterns of display panels. Because Open Mask has good durability and stability. And according to different display panel design and production needs, Open Mask can be customized to meet specific pattern and size requirements.

[0113] For example, as shown in FIG. 10b, before forming the second electrodes of the plurality of light emitting devices, a plurality of isolation columns 60 are first deposited and patterned on the electroluminescent layer 30; secondly, as shown in FIG. 10c, after the plurality of isolation columns 60 are made, the second electrode layer 40 is formed by using the evaporation process. Due to the presence of the plurality of isolation columns 60, the plurality of second electrodes S2-1, S2-2 in the second electrode layer 40 can be independently spaced. Wherein, the isolation column 60 is in the shape of inverted ladder or H-shaped; the material of the isolation column 60 includes: polystyrene PS and polychloroprene CPM, etc.

[0114] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 10d, before forming the second electrodes of the plurality of light emitting devices, a plurality of isolation columns 60 are deposited and patterned on the electroluminescent layer 30, the isolation columns 60 are made of polychloroprene CPM; then, as shown in FIG. 10e, after the plurality of isolation columns 60 are made, the second electrode layer 40 is formed by using an evaporation process, and due to the existence of the plurality of isolation columns 60, the plurality of second electrodes S2-1, S2-2 in the second electrode layer 40 are independently spaced from each other. The material of the second electrode layer can include magnesium or silver. Since the CPM material can prevent magnesium or silver from being deposited, there is no evaporation film layer on the isolation columns 60. The isolation columns 60 are in the shape of inverted ladder or H.

[0115] Exemplarily, the second electrode layer can be single-layered or multi-layered, which is not limited here.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 10a, the two first power signal lines VSS1, VSS2 extend along the second direction F2; the two first power signal lines VSS1, VSS2 are respectively located on the two sides of the second electrodes S2-1, S2-2; the two second electrodes S2-1, S2-2 adjacent along the second direction F2 are respectively electrically connected with the first power signal lines VSS1, VSS2 located on the two sides. For example, the second electrode S2-1 is electrically connected with the first power signal line VSS1, and the second electrode S2-2 is electrically connected with the first power signal line VSS2.

[0117] Exemplarily, the second electrodes of the plurality of light emitting devices can also extend along the second direction, and the second electrodes of the plurality of light emitting devices are sequentially and spaced arranged along the first direction. The extending direction of the second electrodes of the plurality of light emitting devices can be set according to requirements. When the second electrodes of the plurality of light emitting devices extend along the second direction, the two first power signal lines extend along the first direction.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the display panel further includes a color film layer 50 located on the side of the second electrode layer away from the substrate, and the color film layer 50 includes at least three color films R, G, B of different colors.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the color films arranged on the second electrodes of the light emitting devices in at least two adjacent sub-pixels are of the same color, as shown in FIG. 13, the color film arranged on the second electrode S2-1 of the light emitting device L1 in the sub-pixel spx1 is of the same color as the color film arranged on the second electrode S2-2 of the light emitting device L2 in the sub-pixel spx2. In this way, at least three color films of different colors in the color film layer are all long strip patterns extending in the second direction, which can reduce the difficulty of color film design and process, and can also reduce longitudinal color mixing defects; since RGB forms a flat pixel in the horizontal direction, external algorithm matching is required for display, and the image display is adjusted through the algorithm to avoid display abnormalities.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the color films arranged on the second electrodes of the light emitting devices in at least two adjacent sub-pixels are of different colors, as shown in FIG. 14, the color film arranged on the second electrode S2-1 of the light emitting device L1 in the sub-pixel spx1 is of a different color from the color film arranged on the second electrode S2-2 of the light emitting device L2 in the sub-pixel spx2. In this way, at least three color films of different colors in the color film layer need to be designed in a pattern, and in high PPI design, in order to reduce longitudinal color mixing, the opening of the pixel definition layer will be reduced, but RGB forms a pixel unit in the form of a triangle, without the need for external algorithm matching.

[0121] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 15, the pixel circuit 200 includes a driving transistor M0, a first transistor M1, a second transistor M2, and a first capacitor C1; wherein the gate of the driving transistor M0 is electrically connected with the first electrode of the first transistor M1, the first electrode of the driving transistor M0 is electrically connected with a second power supply signal line VDD, the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 is electrically connected with the first electrode S1 of the light emitting device L1, L2 arranged in at least two adjacent sub-pixels spx1, spx2; the gate of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected with a gate signal line Ga, the second electrode of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected with a data signal line Da; the gate of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected with the gate signal line Ga, the first electrode of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected with the second electrode of the driving transistor M0, and the second electrode of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected with a compensation signal line SENS; the first electrode of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected with the gate of the driving transistor M0, and the second electrode of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected with the second electrode of the driving transistor M0.

[0122] For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the compensation signal line SENS is electrically connected with a reference voltage signal end VREF through a first switch S_REF, and the compensation signal line SENS is electrically connected with a compensation voltage signal end SAMP through a second switch S_SAMP.

[0123] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 15, the first electrode of the light emitting device L1, L2 is an anode, the second electrode of the light emitting device L1, L2 is a cathode, and the active level signal loaded on the first power supply signal line VSS1, VSS2 is a low level signal.

Alternatively, the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 can be P-type transistors, and the active level of the gate signal is low level and the inactive level of the gate signal is high level.

[0127] For example, the first electrode of the transistor is the source electrode, and the second electrode of the transistor is the drain electrode, or the first electrode of the transistor is the drain electrode, and the second electrode of the transistor is the source electrode.
