[0071] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other. When the following description relates to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.
[0072] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movement of the components in a specific posture; if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0073] A display substrate includes a light-emitting layer, an insulating layer, a color filter layer, and a light-shielding layer located on the light-emitting layer. The insulating layer has multiple through-holes; the color filter layer includes color filter portions of various colors, each color filter portion partially located within a through-hole and partially located on the side of the insulating layer away from the light-emitting layer; the light-shielding layer is located on the side of the color filter layer away from the substrate. The color filter layer is typically prepared using a coating process. The leveling properties of the materials for different colors of color filters vary. Better leveling properties result in a smaller thickness of the portion of the color filter on the insulating layer, while poorer leveling properties result in a larger thickness of the portion of the color filter on the insulating layer. This leads to differences in the thickness of the portions of different colors of color filters on the insulating layer, creating discontinuities, which in turn causes the light-shielding layer formed on the color filter layer to break or separate from adjacent film layers.
[0074] This application provides a display substrate and a display device that can solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0075] This application provides a display substrate. The display substrate includes a substrate 10, a light-emitting layer 20, an insulating layer 70, a color filter layer 40, and a light-shielding layer 50.
[0076] The light-emitting layer 20 is located on the substrate 10, and the light-emitting layer 20 includes a plurality of spaced sub-pixels 21. The insulating layer 70 is located on the side of the light-emitting layer 20 away from the substrate 10; the insulating layer 70 has a plurality of through holes 71. The color filter layer 40 is located on the side of the light-emitting layer 20 away from the substrate 10, and the color filter layer 40 includes a plurality of color filter portions 41. Each color filter portion 41 corresponds to one of the through holes 71, and each color filter portion 41 is partially located within the corresponding through hole 71 and partially located on the side of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10. The color filter layer includes a first color filter portion 411 and a second color filter portion 412, wherein the leveling property of the material of the second color filter portion 412 is better than that of the material of the first color filter portion 411. At least a portion of the area of the insulating layer 70 on the surface away from the substrate 10 that contacts at least one of the first color filter portions 411 is recessed toward the substrate 10 relative to at least a portion of the area that contacts at least one of the second color filter portions 412. The light-shielding layer 50 is at least partially located on the side of the color filter layer 40 away from the substrate 10; the light-shielding layer 50 has a plurality of openings 51, the orthographic projection of each opening 51 onto the substrate 10 falling within the orthographic projection of one of the color filter portions 41 onto the substrate 10.
[0077] The display substrate provided in this application embodiment has a better leveling property than the material of the second color filter 411. In the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10, at least a portion of the area in contact with the first color filter 411 is recessed towards the substrate 10 relative to at least a portion of the area in contact with the second color filter 412. This reduces the discontinuity between the portion of the first color filter 411 in contact with the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate and the portion of the second color filter 412 in contact with the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate. The small size can improve the problem of light-shielding layer breakage or separation of light-shielding layer from adjacent film layers caused by large discontinuity of the color filter section of different colors away from the substrate, which helps to improve the yield of display substrate. By setting the light-shielding layer 50 on the side of the color filter layer 40 away from the substrate, it helps to improve the dark state effect of the display substrate in non-display state. By setting the color filter layer 40, the color filter layer 40 can filter the incident external ambient light, reduce the amount of incident ambient light reflection, and reduce the loss of emitted light compared with polarizer, thus improving light extraction efficiency.

[0080] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the display substrate further includes a driving circuit layer 60 located between the substrate 10 and the light-emitting layer 20. The driving circuit layer 60 includes a plurality of pixel circuits, which are used to drive sub-pixels 21. The pixel circuits and sub-pixels 21 can correspond one-to-one, and each pixel circuit is used to drive the corresponding sub-pixel 21.
[0081] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the sub-pixel 21 includes a first electrode 211, a light-emitting material layer 212 located on the side of the first electrode 211 away from the substrate 10, and a second electrode 213 located on the side of the light-emitting material layer 212 away from the substrate 10.

The first electrode 211 is electrically connected to the second electrode 614 through a via penetrating the planarization layer 66, and the first electrode 613 and the second electrode 614 are in contact with the active layer 611 through vias penetrating the interlayer dielectric layer 65, the capacitor insulating layer 64 and the gate insulating layer 63, respectively.
[0084] In one embodiment, the light-emitting layer 20 includes at least three sub-pixels 21 with different emission colors. Each sub-pixel 21 corresponds one-to-one with a color filter 41, and the orthographic projection of each sub-pixel 21 onto the substrate 10 falls within the orthographic projection of the corresponding color filter 41 onto the substrate 10. The emission color of each sub-pixel 21 is the same as the color of the corresponding color filter 41 in the color filter layer 40. For example, the light-emitting layer 20 includes sub-pixels with a first emission color, sub-pixels with a second emission color, and sub-pixels with a third emission color; the color filter layer 40 includes a first color filter 411, a second color filter 412, and a third color filter 413.
[0085] In some embodiments, the first color may be red, the second color may be blue, and the third color may be green. That is, the light-emitting layer 20 may include sub-pixels with a red light-emitting color, sub-pixels with a green light-emitting color, and sub-pixels with a blue light-emitting color, and the color filter layer 40 may include a red filter, a blue filter, and a green filter.
[0086] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the light-emitting layer 20 further includes a pixel defining layer 22, which has a plurality of pixel openings 221. The pixel defining layer 22 is located on the side of the first electrode 211 away from the substrate 10. The pixel openings 221 correspond one-to-one with the sub-pixels 21, and each pixel opening 221 exposes at least a portion of the corresponding first electrode 211. At least a portion of the light-emitting material layer 212 of each sub-pixel 21 is located within the pixel opening 221. At least a portion of the second electrode 213 is located on the side of the pixel defining layer 22 away from the substrate 10. Each pixel opening 221 defines the light-emitting area of the corresponding sub-pixel 21; specifically, the area defined by the pixel opening 221 facing the bottom surface of the substrate 10 is the light-emitting area of the sub-pixel 21.
[0087] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the side of the pixel opening 221 extends obliquely outward in the direction of the substrate 10 pointing towards the second electrode 213. The pixel defining layer 22 may be formed by an exposure and development process, resulting in the shape of the formed pixel opening 221.
[0088] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the display substrate further includes an encapsulation layer 30 located between the light-emitting layer 20 and the insulating layer 70, with the color filter layer 40 and the light-shielding layer 50 both located on the side of the encapsulation layer 30 away from the substrate 10. The encapsulation layer 30 may be a thin-film encapsulation layer, comprising alternating organic and inorganic layers, wherein the layer with the greatest distance from the substrate 10 is an inorganic layer. In some embodiments, the thin-film encapsulation layer may include two inorganic layers and an organic layer located between the two inorganic layers.
[0089] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the display substrate further includes a touch structure layer 80 located between the encapsulation layer 30 and the color filter layer 40. The touch structure layer 80 includes a first touch electrode layer 83, a second touch electrode layer 81 located on the side of the first touch electrode layer 83 away from the substrate 10, an insulating material layer 84 located between the first touch electrode layer 83 and the second touch electrode layer 81, and an insulating protective layer 86 located on the side of the second touch electrode layer 81 away from the substrate 10. The insulating protective layer 86 covers the second touch electrode layer 81. The second touch electrode layer 81 may include a plurality of first touch electrodes, a plurality of second touch electrodes, and a plurality of first connecting portions. The first touch electrode layer 83 includes a plurality of second connecting portions. Adjacent first touch electrodes can be connected through the first connecting portions, and adjacent second touch electrodes can be electrically connected through the second connecting portions. The materials of the insulating protective layer 86 and the insulating material layer 84 may be organic materials, and the surface flatness of the insulating protective layer 86 and the insulating material layer 84 away from the substrate 10 is relatively good. In some embodiments, the materials of the insulating protective layer 86 and the insulating material layer 84 may be organic resins.
[0090] In one embodiment, in the direction of the substrate 10 pointing towards the insulating layer 70, the sides of each through-hole 71 of the insulating layer 70 extend obliquely outward. The through-holes 71 of the insulating layer 70 can be formed by an exposure and development process, resulting in the shape of the formed through-holes 71.
[0091] Furthermore, the refractive index of the insulating layer 70 is less than that of the color filter 41. With this configuration, when light emitted from the sub-pixel 21 is incident on the side of the through-hole 71 of the insulating layer 70 via the color filter 41, most of the light undergoes total internal reflection at the side of the through-hole 71 and exits through the light-shielding layer 50, thereby helping to reduce light loss and improve the light extraction efficiency of the display substrate. In some embodiments, the refractive index of the insulating layer 70 ranges from 1.4 to 1.55, and the refractive index of the color filter 41 ranges from 1.6 to 1.7. This larger difference in refractive index between the color filter 41 and the insulating layer 70 improves the total internal reflection efficiency of light incident on the side of the through-hole 71 of the insulating layer 70.
[0092] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the insulating layer 70 is reused as an insulating protective layer 86. This helps to reduce the thickness of the display substrate. In other embodiments, the insulating layer 70 and the insulating protective layer 86 are different film layers, with the insulating layer 70 located on the side of the insulating protective layer 86 away from the substrate 10.
[0093] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the display substrate further includes a protective layer 85 located on the side of the light-shielding layer 50 away from the substrate 10. The protective layer 85 covers the side of the opening 51 of the light-shielding layer 50 and the surface of the light-shielding layer 50 away from the substrate 10. The material of the protective layer 85 may be an organic resin.
[0094] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the color filter layer 40 further includes a third color filter portion 413, the leveling property of which is between that of the material of the first color filter portion 411 and the leveling property of the material of the second color filter portion 412. In some embodiments, the first color is red, the second color is blue, and the third color is green. In other embodiments, the first color is blue, the second color is red, and the third color is green.
[0095] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the area of the insulating layer 70 on the surface away from the substrate 10 that contacts each of the first color filter portions 411 is recessed toward the substrate 10 relative to at least a portion of the area that contacts each of the second color filter portions 412. This further helps to mitigate the problems of breakage and separation of the light-shielding layer 50 from adjacent film layers.
[0096] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate has at least one first recess 73; each first recess 73 is disposed around the periphery of the through-hole 71 corresponding to a first color filter 411, and the orthographic projection of each first recess 73 on the substrate 10 falls within the orthographic projection of the corresponding first color filter 411 on the substrate 10; the area of the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10 that contacts at least one second color filter 412 is planar 701. In the case where the area of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10 that contacts at least one second color filter 412 is planar, and the area that contacts at least one first color filter 411 has a first recess 73, then the portion of the insulating layer 70 in the area contacting the first color filter 411 is recessed relative to the area in contact with the second color filter 412 towards the substrate 10. The first recess 73 can accommodate part of the material of the first color filter 411, thereby reducing the height of the part of the first color filter 411 that contacts the insulating layer 70 away from the surface of the substrate 10, thereby reducing the discontinuity between the first color filter 411 and the second color filter 412 away from the surface of the substrate.
[0097] Furthermore, on the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10, the areas in contact with each of the second color filter portions 412 are planar, and the areas in contact with each of the first color filter portions 411 are provided with first recesses 73, and the volumes of each first recess 73 can be substantially the same. This further helps to improve the problem of the light-shielding layer 50 breaking and separating from adjacent film layers.
[0098] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 to 10, the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10 is provided with at least one first protrusion 74 and at least one first recess 73; each first recess 73 is disposed on the periphery of a through-hole 71 corresponding to a first color filter 411, and the orthographic projection of each first recess 73 on the substrate 10 falls within the orthographic projection of the corresponding first color filter 411 on the substrate 10; each first protrusion 74 is disposed on the periphery of a through-hole 71 corresponding to a second color filter 412, and the orthographic projection of each first protrusion 74 on the substrate falls within the orthographic projection of the corresponding second color filter 412 on the substrate 10. In the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10, the area in contact with at least one second color filter 412 is provided with a first protrusion 74, and the area in contact with at least one first color filter 411 is provided with a first recess 73. The area of the insulating layer 70 in contact with the first color filter 411 is recessed relative to the area in contact with the second color filter 412 in the direction toward the substrate 10. The first recess 73 can accommodate part of the material of the first color filter 411, thereby reducing the height of the part of the first color filter 411 that contacts the insulating layer 70 away from the surface of the substrate 10. The first protrusion 74 can increase the height of the part of the second color filter 412 that contacts the insulating layer 70 away from the surface of the substrate 10, thereby effectively reducing the discontinuity between the surfaces of the first color filter 411 and the second color filter 412 away from the substrate.
[0099] Furthermore, on the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10, the area in contact with each of the second color filter portions 412 is provided with a first protrusion 74, and the area in contact with each of the first color filter portions 411 is provided with a first recess 73. The volume of each first protrusion 74 can be substantially the same, and the volume of each first recess 73 can be substantially the same. This further helps to improve the problem of the light-shielding layer 50 breaking and separating from adjacent film layers.
[0100] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, 9, and 10, the insulating layer 70 has at least one second recess 72 on its surface away from the substrate 10. Each second recess 72 is disposed around the periphery of the through-hole 71 corresponding to the third color filter 413, and the orthographic projection of each second recess 72 on the substrate falls within the orthographic projection of the corresponding third color filter 413 on the substrate 10. The volume of the first recess 73 is greater than the volume of the second recess 72. By setting the volume of the first recess 73 to be greater than the volume of the second recess 72, the amount of material of the first color filter 411 contained in the first recess 73 is greater than the amount of material of the second color filter 412 contained in the second recess 72, thereby reducing the discontinuity between the surfaces of the first color filter 411 and the second color filter 412 away from the substrate.
[0101] In some embodiments, on the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10, a first recess 73 is provided in the area contacting each of the first color filter portions 411, and a second recess 72 is provided in the area contacting each of the third color filter portions 413. The volumes of the first recesses 73 and the second recesses 72 can be substantially the same. This helps to improve the problem of breakage of the light-shielding layer 50 and separation from adjacent film layers.
[0102] In one embodiment, the depths of each first recess 73 and each second recess 72 are the same, and the area of the orthographic projection of each first recess 73 onto the substrate 10 is greater than the area of the orthographic projection of each second recess 72 onto the substrate 10. In the embodiments shown in Figures 2 and 10, the depths of both the first recess 73 and the second recess 72 are h1. This arrangement allows the volume of the first recess 73 to be greater than the volume of the second recess 72. Since the first recess 73 and the second recess 72 have the same depth, when the insulating layer 70 is prepared using an exposure and development process, the light transmittance of the mask and the corresponding areas of the first recess 73 and the second recess 72 are the same, which helps to reduce the cost of the mask. The first recess 73 and the second recess 72 prepared using the exposure and development process have the same shape, with their sides extending obliquely outward in the direction from the substrate 10 to the light-shielding layer 50.
[0103] In one embodiment, the area of the orthographic projection of each of the first recesses 73 onto the substrate 10 is the same as the area of the orthographic projection of each of the second recesses 72 onto the substrate 10, and the depth of each of the first recesses 73 is greater than the depth of each of the second recesses 72. In the embodiment shown in FIG4, the depth h2 of the first recess 73 is greater than the depth h3 of the second recess 72. This arrangement allows the volume of the first recess 73 to be greater than the volume of the second recess 72. In other embodiments, the depth and the area of the orthographic projection of the second recess 72 onto the substrate 10 are different from those of the first recess 73. In some embodiments, h2 ranges from 0.3 μm to 0.7 μm, and h3 ranges from 0.2 μm to 0.5 μm. For example, h2 is 0.5 μm and h3 is 0.3 μm.
[0104] In one embodiment, each of the first recesses 73 and / or each of the second recesses 72 is annular, surrounding the corresponding through hole 71. When the first recess 73 is annular, the surface flatness of the portion of the first color filter 411 corresponding to the first recess 73 located on the insulating layer 70 is better; when the second recess 72 is annular, the surface flatness of the portion of the third color filter 413 corresponding to the second recess 72 located on the insulating layer 70 is better. In some embodiments, both the first recess 73 and the second recess 72 are annular.
[0105] In one embodiment, each of the first recesses 73 and / or each of the second recesses 72 includes a plurality of spaced-apart grooves, with the grooves of the same recess arranged at intervals along the corresponding through-holes 71. In some embodiments, each of the first recesses 73 and each of the second recesses 72 includes a plurality of spaced-apart grooves.
[0106] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 to 8, on the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate, the area in contact with at least one of the third color filter portions 413 is a plane 703, the area in contact with at least one of the first color filter portions 411 is provided with a first recess 73, and the area in contact with at least one of the second color filter portions 412 is provided with a first protrusion 74.
[0107] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the first protrusion 74 includes a main body 742 and a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 743 located on the side of the main body 742 away from the substrate 10, with the main body 742 spaced-apart along the corresponding through-hole 71. In the embodiment shown in Figures 9 and 10, the first protrusion 74 includes a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 741 surrounding the corresponding through-hole 71. This configuration results in a larger surface roughness of the first protrusion 74 away from the substrate 10, which increases the residence time of the material of the second color filter on the top surface of the insulating layer 70, further helping to reduce the discontinuity between the surface of the first color filter away from the substrate and the surface of the second color filter away from the substrate.
[0108] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 11 to 18, the insulating layer 70 has at least one first protrusion 74 on its surface away from the substrate 10; each first protrusion 74 is disposed around the periphery of the through-hole 71 corresponding to a second color filter 412, and the orthographic projection of each first protrusion 74 on the substrate 10 falls within the orthographic projection of the corresponding second color filter 412 on the substrate 10; the area where the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10 contacts at least one first color filter 411 is a plane 702. The first protrusion 74 increases the height of the portion of the second color filter 412 that contacts the insulating layer 70 away from the surface of the substrate 10, effectively reducing the discontinuity between the second color filter 412 and the first color filter 411 away from the substrate.
[0109] Furthermore, on the surface of the insulating layer 70 away from the substrate 10, the area in contact with each of the second color filter portions 412 is provided with a first protrusion 74, and the volume of each first protrusion 74 can be substantially the same, while the area in contact with each of the first color filter portions 411 is a plane 702. This further helps to improve the problem of the light-shielding layer 50 breaking and separating from adjacent film layers.
[0110] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 11 to 18, the insulating layer 70 has at least one second protrusion 75 on its surface away from the substrate 10; each second protrusion 75 is disposed around the periphery of the through-hole 71 corresponding to the third color filter 413, and the orthographic projection of each second protrusion 75 on the substrate 10 falls within the orthographic projection of the corresponding third color filter 413 on the substrate 10; the volume of each first protrusion 74 is greater than the volume of each second protrusion 75. By setting the volume of the first protrusion 74 to be greater than the volume of the second protrusion 75, the volume difference between the first protrusion 74 and the second protrusion 75 can balance the height difference between the surfaces of the second color filter 412 and the third color filter 413 away from the substrate 10 caused by the difference in the leveling properties of their materials, effectively reducing the discontinuity between the surfaces of the second color filter 412 and the third color filter 413 away from the substrate.
[0111] In one embodiment, each of the first protrusions 74 and / or each of the second protrusions 75 is annular, surrounding the corresponding through hole 71. When the first protrusion 74 is annular, the surface flatness of the portion of the second color filter portion 412 corresponding to the first protrusion 74 located on the insulating layer 70 is better; when the second protrusion 75 is annular, the surface flatness of the portion of the third color filter portion 413 corresponding to the second protrusion 75 located on the insulating layer 70 is better. In some embodiments, both the first protrusion 74 and the second protrusion 75 are annular.
[0112] In one embodiment, each of the first protrusions 74 and / or each of the second protrusions 75 includes a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions, with the protrusions of the same protrusion spaced apart along the corresponding through-hole 71. In the embodiment shown in Figures 15 and 16, the first protrusion 74 includes a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 741, and the second protrusion 75 includes a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 751. The surface roughness of the protrusions including the protrusions away from the substrate is relatively large, which helps to increase the residence time of the material of the color filter on the top surface of the insulating layer, thereby reducing the discontinuity between it and the surface of the first color filter away from the substrate. The protrusions 741 and 751 may be annular, surrounding the corresponding through-hole 71.
[0113] In one embodiment, the height of each of the first protrusions 74 and the height of each of the second protrusions 75 are the same. With this configuration, when the first protrusions 74 and the second protrusions 75 are fabricated using an exposure and development process, the light transmittance of the mask is the same for the areas corresponding to the first protrusions 74 and the second protrusions 75, which helps to reduce the cost of the mask.
[0114] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the surfaces of the first protrusion 74 and the second protrusion 75 away from the substrate 10 are both planar, and the heights of the first protrusion 74 and the second protrusion 75 are both d1. The area of the orthographic projection of the first protrusion 74 onto the substrate 10 is larger than the area of the orthographic projection of the second protrusion 75 onto the substrate 10. This allows the volume of the first protrusion 74 to be larger than the volume of the second protrusion 75.
[0115] In one embodiment, the surface of each first protrusion 74 away from the substrate 10 has the same shape as the surface of each second protrusion 75 away from the substrate 10. The areas of the orthographic projections of each first protrusion 74 and each second protrusion 75 onto the substrate 10 are the same, and the height of each first protrusion 74 is greater than the height of each second protrusion 75. This allows the volume of the first protrusion 74 to be greater than the volume of the second protrusion 75. As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the surfaces of both the first protrusion 74 and the second protrusion 75 away from the substrate 10 are planar, and the height d2 of the first protrusion 74 is greater than the height d3 of the second protrusion 75. In this embodiment, the area of the orthographic projection of the first protrusion 74 onto the substrate 10 can be the same as the area of the orthographic projection of the second protrusion 75 onto the substrate 10. In some embodiments, d2 ranges from 0.3 μm to 0.7 μm, and d3 ranges from 0.2 μm to 0.5 μm. For example, d2 is 0.5 μm and d3 is 0.3 μm.
[0116] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 15 and 16, each first protrusion 74 includes a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 741, and each second protrusion 75 includes a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 751. The protrusions 741 of each first protrusion 74 and the protrusions 751 of each second protrusion 75 have the same volume, and the number of protrusions 741 in each first protrusion 74 is greater than the number of protrusions 751 in each second protrusion 75. This allows the volume of the first protrusion 74 to be greater than the volume of the second protrusion 75. The heights of the protrusions 741 and 751 can be the same. The above arrangement makes the surface roughness of the first protrusion 74 away from the substrate greater than the surface roughness of the second protrusion 75 away from the substrate. This allows the material of the second color filter to stay on the top surface of the insulating layer 70 for a longer time than the material of the third color filter to stay on the top surface of the insulating layer 70, which further helps to reduce the discontinuity between the surface of the second color filter away from the substrate and the surface of the third color filter away from the substrate.
[0117] In another embodiment, each first protrusion 74 includes a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 741, and each second protrusion 75 includes a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 751. The number of protrusions 741 in each first protrusion 74 is the same as the number of protrusions 751 in each second protrusion 75, and the volume of the protrusions 741 in each first protrusion 74 is larger than the volume of the protrusions 751 in each second protrusion 75. This arrangement allows the volume of the first protrusion 74 to be larger than the volume of the second protrusion 75. The heights of the protrusions 741 and 751 can be the same.
[0118] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, the first protrusion 74 includes a main body 742 and a plurality of protrusion structures 743 located on the side of the main body 742 away from the substrate; the second protrusion 75 includes a main body 752 and a plurality of protrusion structures 753 located on the side of the main body 752 away from the substrate 10. The main body 742 and the main body 752 may have the same height, and the protrusion structures 743 and the protrusion structures 753 may have the same height. The volume of the first protrusion 74 can be made larger than the volume of the second protrusion 75 by adjusting the area of the orthographic projections of the main body 742, the main body 752, the protrusion structures 743, and the protrusion structures 753 onto the substrate 10.
[0119] In one embodiment, at least one of the first protrusions 74 and the second protrusions 75 of the insulating layer 70 has a non-planar surface away from the substrate. Setting the surface of the protrusion away from the substrate to be non-planar can increase the time that the material of the color filter stays on the top surface of the insulating layer, and further help to reduce the discontinuity between the surface of the first color filter away from the substrate and the surface of the color filter away from the substrate.
[0120] In one embodiment, the minimum distance between the top edge of the first recess 73 and the top edge of the corresponding through hole 71, the minimum distance between the top edge of the second recess 72 and the top edge of the corresponding through hole 71, and the minimum distance between the top edges of adjacent first recesses 73 and second recesses 72 are all greater than or equal to the minimum process accuracy of the exposure and development process. In some embodiments, the minimum process accuracy of the exposure and development process may be 2 μm.
[0121] In one embodiment, the minimum distance between the bottom edge of the first protrusion 74 and the top edge of the corresponding through hole 71, the minimum distance between the bottom edge of the second protrusion 75 and the top edge of the corresponding through hole 71, and the minimum distance between the bottom edges of adjacent first protrusions 74 and second protrusions 75 are all greater than or equal to the minimum process accuracy of the exposure and development process. In some embodiments, the minimum process accuracy of the exposure and development process may be 2 μm.
[0122] In one embodiment, the raised structures of the first protrusion 74 and the second protrusion 75 can be fabricated using the photomasks shown in Figures 19 and 20. Both photomasks shown in Figures 19 and 20 include a light-blocking portion 91 and a light-transmitting portion 92. The size of the light-transmitting portion 92 determines the size of the raised structure, and the size of the light-transmitting portion 92 can be designed according to the size of the raised structure.
[0123] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 18, the portions of the surfaces of each color filter 41 that contact the light-shielding layer 50 are substantially on the same plane. This effectively avoids the problem of the light-shielding layer breaking or separating from adjacent film layers due to the different thicknesses of the color filters of different colors causing a step difference on the surface of the light-shielding layer facing the substrate.
[0124] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 21 and 22, each color filter 41 includes a main body 401, with each main body 401 partially located within a corresponding through-hole 71; at least one color filter 41 includes a protrusion 402 connected to the main body 401, with each protrusion 402 located between two adjacent main bodies 401. This configuration reduces the gap between adjacent color filters 41, thereby mitigating the problem of color separation caused by the light-shielding layer 50 on the color filter 41 breaking due to excessive distance between adjacent color filters 41, resulting in diffraction of light emitted by the sub-pixel 21 at the break point of the light-shielding layer 50, and the problem of black spots appearing on the display substrate due to particles generated after the light-shielding layer 50 breaks falling onto the positions opposite the openings 51 of the color filter 41 and the light-shielding layer 50. In the embodiment shown in Figure 19, the first color filter 411 includes multiple protrusions 402. In the embodiment shown in Figure 20, the third color filter portion 413 includes a plurality of protrusions 402. In other embodiments, the color filter layer may consist of color filters of two or more colors including the protrusions 402.
[0125] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 21 and 22, all the color filter portions 41 of the color filter layer 40 are arranged as multiple first filter portion groups and multiple second filter portion groups. The multiple first filter portion groups are arranged along a first direction Y, and the multiple second filter portion groups are arranged along a second direction X. Each first filter portion group includes multiple color filter portions 41 arranged along the second direction X, and each second filter portion group includes multiple color filter portions 41 arranged along the first direction Y. The first direction Y intersects the second direction X. In some embodiments, the first direction Y is perpendicular to the second direction X. In some embodiments, the first direction Y is a column direction, and the second direction X is a row direction, that is, all the color filter portions 41 of the color filter layer 40 are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns. In two adjacent rows of color filters, one row has alternating arrangements of first color filters 411 and second color filters 412, while the other row consists entirely of third color filters 413. Similarly, in two adjacent columns of color filters, one column has alternating arrangements of first color filters 411 and second color filters 412, while the other column consists entirely of third color filters 413. Multiple color filters in the same row are arranged along the X-direction, and multiple color filters in the same column are arranged along the Y-direction.
[0126] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 21 and 22, the plurality of color filter portions 41 in the color filter layer 40 each include a main body portion 401 and at least one protrusion 402 connected to the main body portion 401; the protrusion 402 fills the space between the main bodies 401 of two adjacent color filter portions 41 located in the same row; the protrusion 402 fills the space between the main bodies 401 of two adjacent color filter portions 41 located in the same column. This configuration results in a smaller gap between the main bodies 401 of two adjacent color filter portions 41 located in the same row and a smaller gap between the main bodies 401 of two adjacent color filter portions 41 located in the same column, effectively improving the problem of large gaps between adjacent color filter portions 41 in the color filter layer 40, and thus effectively improving the problem of breakage of the light-shielding layer 50.
[0127] In one embodiment, the color filter layer 40 includes at least three different color filter portions 41, wherein all color filter portions 41 of one color are integrally formed. As shown in FIG22, all third color filter portions 413 of the color filter layer 40 are integrally formed.
[0128] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 23 and 24, the edge of each through hole 71 of the insulating layer 70 facing the orthogonal projection of the bottom surface of the substrate 10 onto the substrate 10 is a first edge 711, and the edge of each color filter portion 41 facing the orthogonal projection onto the substrate 10 is a second edge 4011, with the first edge 711 located inside the corresponding second edge 4011; the edge of each pixel opening 221 facing the orthogonal projection of the bottom surface of the substrate 10 onto the substrate 10 is a third edge 2211, with the third edge 2211 located inside the corresponding first edge 711. By setting the third edge 2211 to be inside the corresponding first edge 711, more light emitted by the sub-pixel 21 can be incident on the portion of the color filter 41 located inside the through hole 71 and reflected by the insulating layer 70 before being emitted, which helps to improve the light emission rate. By setting the first edge 711 to be inside the corresponding second edge 4011, that is, the color filter 41 partially covers the insulating layer 70, the gap between adjacent color filters 41 can be smaller, which helps to prevent the light-shielding layer 50 from breaking.
[0129] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 23 and 24, the edge of each opening 51 facing the orthographic projection of the bottom surface of the substrate 10 onto the substrate 10 is a fourth edge 511, which is located outside the corresponding first edge 711. This configuration reduces the amount of light emitted through the through-holes 71 of the insulating layer 70 absorbed by the light-shielding layer 50, thereby reducing light loss and improving the light extraction efficiency of the display substrate.
[0130] As shown in Figures 23 and 24, the edge of the orthographic projection of the first color filter on the substrate 10 is the second edge 4012, the edge of the orthographic projection of the second color filter on the substrate 10 is the second edge 4013, and the edge of the orthographic projection of the third color filter on the substrate 10 is the second edge 4014; the first edge of the via 71 corresponding to the first color filter is the first edge 712, the first edge of the via 71 corresponding to the second color filter is the first edge 713, and the first edge of the via 71 corresponding to the third color filter is the first edge 714; the third edge of the pixel opening 221 corresponding to the first color filter is... The third edge 2212, the third edge of the pixel opening 221 corresponding to the second color filter is the third edge 2213, and the third edge of the pixel opening 221 corresponding to the third color filter is the third edge 2214; the edge of the opening 51 corresponding to the first color filter facing the orthogonal projection of the bottom surface of the substrate 10 onto the substrate 10 is the fourth edge 512, the edge of the opening 51 corresponding to the second color filter facing the orthogonal projection of the bottom surface of the substrate 10 onto the substrate 10 is the fourth edge 513, and the edge of the opening 51 corresponding to the third color filter facing the orthogonal projection of the bottom surface of the substrate 10 onto the substrate 10 is the fourth edge 514. Wherein, the second edge 4012 of the first color filter is located outside the corresponding fourth edge 512, the fourth edge 512 is located outside the corresponding first edge 712, and the first edge 712 is located outside the corresponding third edge 2212; the second edge 4013 of the second color filter is located outside the corresponding fourth edge 513, the fourth edge 513 is located outside the corresponding first edge 713, and the first edge 713 is located outside the corresponding third edge 2213; the second edge 4014 of the third color filter is located outside the corresponding fourth edge 514, the fourth edge 514 is located outside the corresponding first edge 714, and the first edge 714 is located outside the corresponding third edge 2214.
[0131] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 23 and 24, the inner edge 731 of the orthographic projection of the first recess on the substrate is located between the corresponding first edge 712 and the fourth edge 512, and the outer edge is located between the corresponding fourth edge 512 and the second edge 4012. The inner edge 745 of the orthographic projection of the second recess on the substrate is located between the corresponding first edge 713 and the fourth edge 513, and the outer edge 744 is located between the corresponding fourth edge 513 and the second edge 4013.
[0132] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 25 and 26, at least one through-hole 71 of the insulating layer 70 has a protruding structure 705 on its side surface, the protruding structure 705 extending toward the center of the through-hole 71. By providing the protruding structure 705 on the side surface of the through-hole 71, the area of the side surface of the through-hole 71 can be increased, thereby allowing more light incident on the side surface of the through-hole 71 to be reflected, which is beneficial to improving the forward light emission of the display substrate.
[0133] In one embodiment, the side surface of the protrusion 705 is curved.
[0134] In some embodiments, the side surface of the protruding structure 705 may be conical, and the cross-sectional area of the protruding structure 705 parallel to the substrate 10 gradually decreases in the direction from the substrate 10 to the color filter layer. Since the outer surface of the protruding structure 705 is a conical or frustum-shaped arc-shaped side surface, compared to the scheme where the side surface of the through hole 71 does not have a protruding structure, most of the light rays incident from the color filter portion 41 to the side surface of the protruding structure 705 at various directions can exit at similar exit angles after being reflected by the side surface of the protruding structure 705, which helps to increase the forward light emission of the display substrate.
[0135] In some embodiments, the side surface of the protruding structure 705 is cylindrical, or the cross-section of the protruding structure 705 parallel to the substrate 10 is semi-elliptical. With this configuration, compared to the scheme where the side surface of the through hole 71 does not have a protruding structure, the light incident from the color filter section 41 to the side surface of the protruding structure 705 from various directions is reflected by the side surface of the protruding structure 705, which helps to adjust the light incident from various directions to a direction perpendicular to the light emitting surface of the display panel, thereby increasing the forward light emission of the display substrate.
[0136] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 25 and 26, each of the through holes 71 has a plurality of protruding structures 705 on its side surface, and the plurality of protruding structures 705 on the side surface of the same through hole 71 are evenly spaced along the circumference. By providing a plurality of protruding structures 705 on the side surface of the through hole 71, more light can be reflected on the side surface of the protruding structures 705, thereby improving the light efficiency of the display panel. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 25 and 26, four protruding structures 705 are provided on the side surface of the same through hole 71, and the four protruding structures 705 are evenly spaced along the circumference.
[0137] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 25 and 26, the axis of the protrusion 402 of the color filter 41 passing through the center of the color filter 41 is a first axis 4121, and the axis of the protrusion 705 of the through hole 71 passing through the center of the through hole 71 is a second axis 7011. The angle between the first axis 4121 of the protrusion 402 and the second axis 7011 of the two protrusions 705 adjacent to the protrusion 402 in the corresponding through hole 71 is the same. This arrangement helps to reduce color shift of light from a side viewing angle and improve the user experience. The center of the color filter 41 coincides with the center of the corresponding through hole.
[0138] Further, as shown in Figures 25 and 26, the through hole 71 is provided with four protruding structures 705, which are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction. The included angle between the first axis 4121 of the protrusion 402 and the second axis 7011 of the corresponding through hole 71 and the two protruding structures 705 adjacent to the protrusion 402 is 45°.

[0141] In one embodiment, the display device further includes a housing, and the display substrate is disposed within the housing.
