AI Technical Summary
Existing OLED display devices exhibit significant color variations at different viewing angles, particularly with marked color deviations in the horizontal and vertical directions, which negatively impacts display performance.
A display substrate is designed by setting a curved structure at the junction of the light-emitting functional layer and the pixel definition layer, controlling the thickness variation of the light-emitting functional layer at different angles, and using multiple cover layers to adjust the refractive index to ensure that the color shift is small at different viewing angles.
It achieves smaller color deviation at different angles, and the color deviation in the horizontal and vertical directions is closer, thus improving the consistency of the display effect.

[0001] The present disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411244707.7, filed on September 5, 2024, and entitled “Display substrate and display device”, the content of which is understood to be incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] In recent years, organic light emitting devices (OLED) have gradually attracted more attention as a new type of flat panel display. Due to its characteristics of active light-emitting, high light-emitting brightness, high resolution, wide viewing angle, fast response speed, low energy consumption, and flexibility, it has become a mainstream display product in the current market. With the continuous development of products, customers have higher and higher requirements for the resolution of products and lower and lower requirements for power consumption. It is necessary to develop high-efficiency, low-voltage, and long-life devices. The optimization and performance improvement of the device can be achieved by improving any layer and the combination of different layers of materials in the device. At the same time, the microcavity effect of the entire device can be optimized to increase the light coupling efficiency.

It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.

In addition, the drawings schematically show ideal examples, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.

For example, the width-length ratio of the light-emitting layer, the thickness and spacing of each film layer can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0068] The ordinal numbers "first", "second", and the like in the present application are set to avoid confusion of the constituent elements, and do not represent any order, number, or importance.
[0069] In the present application, for the convenience, the words indicating the orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like are used to describe the positional relationship of the constituent elements with reference to the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present specification and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. The positional relationship of the constituent elements is appropriately changed according to the direction of describing each constituent element. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the disclosure, and can be appropriately replaced according to the situation.
[0070] In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", and "connection" should be broadly understood. For example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate piece, or the communication inside two elements.

[0071] In the present application, "film" and "layer" can be replaced with each other. For example, "light-emitting layer" can be replaced with "light-emitting film" sometimes. Similarly, "insulating film" can be replaced with "insulating layer" sometimes.
[0072] The display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 1, which is a schematic structural diagram of a display substrate; FIG. 2 is a partial enlarged view of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a light-emitting device of the display substrate (taking a red light-emitting device 201 as an example); and FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a slope angle θ in a scanning electron microscope image of the display substrate.
[0073] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the display substrate comprises a plurality of light emitting devices spaced apart in different sub-pixel regions, for example, a red light emitting device 201 located in a red sub-pixel, a green light emitting device 202 located in a green sub-pixel, and a blue light emitting device 203 located in a blue sub-pixel; two adjacent light emitting devices are spaced apart by an isolation structure, which comprises a pixel definition layer 301 on the substrate between the two adjacent light emitting devices;
[0074] The light emitting device comprises a first electrode 10, a light emitting functional layer 20, and a second electrode 30 sequentially arranged on the substrate 100 in a direction away from the substrate 100;
[0075] The light emitting functional layer extends to the surface of the pixel definition layer 301 away from the substrate 100; the thickness of the light emitting functional layer changes during the extension of the light emitting functional layer from the first electrode 10 to the pixel definition layer 301; the corresponding area of the light emitting functional layer at the contact position of the pixel definition layer 301 and the first electrode 10 is a curved surface, and the slope angle of the curved surface is θ;
[0076] When the display substrate displays white light at 255 gray scale, each light emitting device satisfies the following formulas: |Δu′v′(horizon)-Δu′v′(vertical)| / 0.004≤1 (1) θ(horizon)-θ(vertical)≤10° (2)
[0077] Wherein, θ is the included angle between straight line BC and straight line BD, B is the intersection of the pixel definition layer and the first electrode, C is the starting point of the change in thickness of the light emitting functional layer, and D is the end point of the change in thickness of the light emitting functional layer; points B, C, and D are selected on the same cross section perpendicular to the substrate;
[0078] |Δu′v′(horizon)-Δu′v′(vertical)| / 0.004 is the absolute value of the color deviation value in the horizontal and vertical directions;
[0079] u′ n and v′ n are color coordinates at different viewing angles, u′0 and v′0 are color coordinates at 0° viewing angle; different viewing angles refer to angles in the range of -75° to 75°, with an interval of 5° for each viewing angle starting from 0°;
[0080] θ(horizon) is the slope angle of the curved surface in the horizontal direction, and θ(vertical) is the slope angle of the curved surface in the vertical direction.
[0081] It should be noted that the formulas (1) and (2) are for the same light emitting device, but the multiple different light emitting devices of the display substrate of the embodiments of the present application all satisfy the formulas (1) and (2).
[0082] The display substrate of the embodiments of the present application has smaller color deviation at different angles, and the color deviation at different angles in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is more similar.
[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the point C and the point D can satisfy: LC=101.3% L; LD=101.3% L;
[0084] Wherein, L is the thickness of the light emitting functional layer between the first electrode and the second electrode; LC is the thickness of the light emitting functional layer at the point C; LD is the thickness of the light emitting functional layer at the point D.
[0085] In the process of extending the light emitting functional layer from the first electrode to the pixel definition layer, the thickness of the light emitting functional layer changes as follows: extending a length with the thickness L on the surface of the first electrode, then increasing and then decreasing the thickness in the process of extending to the pixel definition layer, and then extending a length with the thickness L on the surface of the pixel definition layer.
[0086] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, a straight line AB is taken along the horizontal direction of the upper surface of the first electrode 10 (e.g., an anode), and B is the intersection point of the pixel definition layer 301 and the upper surface of the first electrode 10. The thickness of the light-emitting functional layer 20 between the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 30 of the light-emitting device is the optical thickness of the EI device. Within the same sub-pixel, the film layers of the light-emitting functional layer are deposited on the relatively flat surface of the first electrode 10, and the thickness of one film layer is the same in different regions, so the thickness of the light-emitting functional layer along the direction from A to B is the optical thickness L of the EI device, and the surface of the light-emitting functional layer away from the substrate 100 is parallel to the AB line. At the junction of the first electrode 10 and the pixel definition layer 301, the thickness of the light-emitting functional layer changes, generally first increases and then decreases, until it returns to about the same as the optical thickness L of the EI device. After the thickness of the light-emitting functional layer returns to about the same as the optical thickness L of the EI device, the light-emitting functional layer extends a length with a thickness of about L on the surface of the pixel definition layer 301. Therefore, the corresponding area of the light-emitting functional layer at the contact position of the pixel definition layer 301 and the first electrode 10 is a curved surface, one end of the curved surface is the starting point C of the change in the thickness of the light-emitting functional layer (e.g., the point at which the thickness of the light-emitting functional layer is LC = 101.3% L), the other end of the curved surface is the end point D of the change in the thickness of the light-emitting functional layer (e.g., the point at which the thickness of the light-emitting functional layer is LD = 101.3% L), and the center of the curved surface is the intersection point B of the pixel definition layer 301 and the upper surface of the first electrode 10, wherein points B, C, and D are selected on the same cross section perpendicular to the substrate 100. Therefore, the slope angle θ of the curved surface is the included angle between the straight line BC and the straight line BD.
[0087] In calculating the value of θ, θ1 and θ2 can be calculated first using trigonometric functions, and then the value of θ can be calculated.
[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, θ (horizon) > 30°, and θ (vertical) > 30°.
[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the light-emitting device can further include at least two cover layers stacked in a direction away from the substrate, and the refractive index of the cover layers decreases in turn along the direction away from the substrate.
[0090] The design of the multi-layer cover layer can make the change of the slope angle θ of the curved surface more stable.
[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the refractive index difference between two adjacent cover layers can be greater than 0.3.
[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, the light emitting device can include a first cover layer 41 and a second cover layer 42 stacked in sequence in a direction away from the substrate 100, the first cover layer 41 having a refractive index greater than 1.75 in the visible light band, and the second cover layer 42 having a refractive index less than 1.7 in the visible light band.
[0093] For example, the first cover layer can have a refractive index n1 in the visible light band satisfying 1.75≤n1≤2.
[0094] For example, the second cover layer can have a refractive index n2 in the visible light band satisfying 1.4≤n2≤1.7.
[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, the first cover layer can have a thickness L1, and the second cover layer can have a thickness L2; L1 and L2 satisfy 0.7L1≤L2≤1.3L1.
[0096] For example, L2 can be 0.7L1, 0.8L1, 0.9L1, L1, 1.1L1, 1.2L1, or 1.3L1.
[0097] When L1 and L2 satisfy 0.7L1≤L2≤1.3L1, it is beneficial for the light emitting device to satisfy the above formulas (1) and (2) when the display substrate displays white light at 255 gray scale.
