Display panel and display device

Abstract

A display panel. The display panel comprises a plurality of first covering portions, a plurality of supporting portions, and a plurality of light-shielding portions. The supporting portions are disposed on the sides of the first covering portions away from a driving backplane; a supporting gap is formed between two adjacent supporting portions on a same first covering portion; a light-shielding portion is disposed in the supporting gap; and light-transmitting openings are formed between the sides of the light-shielding portions close to each other. Before light-shielding blocks are cured to form the light-shielding portions, due to the supporting function of the supporting portions, the problem that the light-shielding blocks are stripped from the first covering portions during flushing is avoided. The shapes and sizes of the light-shielding portions are basically the same. Therefore, the uniformity of the shapes and sizes of the light-transmitting openings is good, and the reflectivity of light in the light-transmitting openings is the same, thereby alleviating alternately bright and dark vertical line defects on the display panel. The present invention further provides a display device comprising the display panel.

Furthermore, the drawings are merely illustrative of the invention and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0055] Although relative terms such as "up" and "down" are used in this specification to describe the relative relationship of one component of an icon to another, these terms are used only for convenience, such as according to the orientation of the examples shown in the accompanying drawings. It is understood that if the device of the icon is flipped upside down, the component described as "up" will become the component described as "down." When a structure is "up" of another structure, it may mean that the structure is integrally formed on the other structure, or that the structure is "directly" mounted on the other structure, or that the structure is "indirectly" mounted on the other structure through another structure.

[0056] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” “the,” and “at least one” are used to indicate the existence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion and to mean that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the elements / components / etc.; the terms “first,” “second,” and “third,” etc., are used only as markers and are not a limitation on the number of objects.

[0057] The FMLOC (Flexible Multi-Layer On Cell) design is currently mainstream in the OLED touch display field. The FMLOC design refers to fabricating a metal electrode layer on the encapsulation layer 17 of the display substrate. The surface of this metal electrode layer significantly reflects ambient light. To improve the contrast of the display panel and reduce reflected light, a polarizer is typically placed on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting layer 16 so that the display panel appears black when it is not lit. However, the polarizer causes a decrease in the light intensity of the display panel and results in a larger display panel thickness.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1, in order to improve the light emission efficiency of the display panel from the front viewing angle and reduce the thickness of the display panel, a first cover layer 191 is provided on the side of the touch electrode layer away from the substrate 11. The first cover layer 191 includes a plurality of first cover portions 1911. The touch electrode layer includes a plurality of touch units. The first cover portions 1911 are provided on the side of the first touch unit 1811 away from the substrate 11. The first cover portions 1911 cover the first touch unit 1811. A dimming opening 1912 is formed between the sides of the first cover portions 1911 that are close to each other. A light-shielding layer 192 is provided on the side of the first cover layer 191 away from the substrate 11. The light-shielding layer 192 includes a plurality of light-shielding parts 1921. A light-transmitting opening 1922 is formed between the sides of the light-shielding parts 1921 that are close to each other. The orthographic projection of the dimming opening 1912 on the drive back plate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting opening 1922 on the drive back plate 10. A filter unit 193 of a different color is provided in each dimming opening 1912. The filter unit 193 covers the side of the first cover part 1911 and extends to the side of the first cover part 1911 away from the substrate 11.

[0059] Because the width and thickness of the first touch unit 1811 are relatively small, the side of the first cover portion 1911 is beveled. The refractive index of the filter unit 193 is greater than that of the first cover portion 1911. Therefore, the light emitted from the light-emitting unit 162 at an oblique angle can undergo total internal reflection at the interface between the side of the first cover portion 1911 and the filter unit 193, deflecting the light emitted from the oblique angle to the direction of the normal angle. This improves the light emission efficiency of the display panel at the normal angle, thus eliminating the need for a polarizer, reducing the thickness of the display panel, and contributing to the thinning of the display panel.

[0060] As shown in Figure 2, multiple light-shielding parts 1921 are formed using the first manufacturing process. The specific process is as follows: A light-shielding coating 21 of a first thickness is formed on the side of the first cover layer 191 away from the substrate 11. The light-shielding coating 21 of the first thickness is baked for a first duration to make the light-shielding coating 21 bond more tightly with the first cover layer 191. The cured light-shielding coating 21 is exposed to light of a first intensity through a mask 22. The exposed light-shielding coating 21 is developed for a second duration to form multiple light-shielding blocks 211. The light-shielding blocks 211 are rinsed with a first rinsing intensity. After rinsing, the light-shielding blocks 211 are baked to form the light-shielding parts 1921. In this process, the light-shielding parts 1921 are prone to remain in the dimming opening 1912.

[0061] As shown in Figure 3, in order to improve the problem of the light-shielding layer 192 remaining in the dimming opening 1912, the manufacturing process of the light-shielding layer 192 was significantly adjusted. A second manufacturing process was used to form multiple light-shielding parts 1921, and the specific process is as follows: a light-shielding coating 21 of a second thickness was formed on the side of the first cover layer 191 away from the substrate 11. The light-shielding coating 21 of the second thickness was baked for a third time to make the light-shielding coating 21 bonded more tightly to the second cover layer 20. The cured light-shielding coating 21 was exposed to light of a second intensity through a mask plate 22. The exposed light-shielding coating 21 was developed for a fourth time. The light-shielding block 211 was rinsed with a second rinsing intensity. After rinsing, the light-shielding block 211 was baked to form the light-shielding part 1921.

[0062] It should be noted that the second thickness is greater than the first thickness, the second duration is greater than the first duration, the second intensity is greater than the first intensity, the fourth duration is greater than the second duration, and the second rinsing intensity is greater than the first rinsing intensity.

[0063] When the inverted trapezoidal shape of the light-shielding block 211 is manufactured using the second process, the angle between the side of the light-shielding block 211 away from the substrate 11 and the side of the light-shielding block 211 becomes smaller, making the light-shielding block 211 thinner at this angle. The light-shielding block 211 is broken during the washing process, resulting in a severe peeling problem of the light-shielding portion 1921 on the side of the first cover portion 1911 away from the substrate 11. After baking, the angle between the side of the light-shielding block 211 close to the substrate 11 and the side of the light-shielding block 211 increases, causing some of the light-transmitting openings 1922 to become larger. The reflectivity of light in the enlarged light-transmitting openings 1922 increases, forming bright stripes, while the reflectivity in the unenlarged light-transmitting openings 1922 is smaller, forming dark stripes, resulting in vertical stripe defects with alternating light and dark on the display panel.

[0064] Based on this, the present invention provides a display panel. As shown in Figures 4 to 21, the display panel includes a driving backplate 10, a pixel defining layer 15, multiple pixel electrodes 161, multiple light-emitting units 162 of different colors, a common electrode 163, a first cover layer 191, a filter layer, a support layer 194, and a light-shielding layer 192. The pixel defining layer 15 is disposed on one side of the driving backplate 10 and includes multiple pixel defining portions 152. Pixel openings 151 are formed between the adjacent sides of the pixel defining portions 152. The multiple pixel electrodes 161 are respectively disposed within different pixel openings 151. The multiple light-emitting units 162 of different colors are respectively disposed on the side of each pixel electrode 161 away from the driving backplate 10. The common electrode 163 is disposed on the side of the multiple light-emitting units 162 away from the driving backplate 10. The first cover layer 191 includes multiple first cover portions 1911. The first cover portions 1911 are disposed on the side of the common electrode 163 away from the driving backplate 10, and dimming openings 1912 are formed between the adjacent sides of the first cover portions 1911. The slope angle of the side of the first covering portion 1911 is less than 90 degrees; the filter layer includes filter units 193 of different colors, each filter unit 193 is disposed in a different dimming opening 1912, the filter units 193 cover the side of the first covering portion 1911, the orthographic projection of the filter units 193 on the drive back plate 10 covers the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit 162 on the drive back plate 10, and the refractive index of the filter units 193 is greater than the refractive index of the first covering portion 1911; the support layer 194 includes multiple supports The support portion 1941 is disposed on the side of the first covering portion 1911 away from the substrate 11. The support portion 1941 is disposed around the dimming opening 1912, and a support gap 1942 is formed between two adjacent support portions 1941. The light-shielding layer 192 includes a plurality of light-shielding portions 1921. The light-shielding portions 1921 are disposed in the support gap 1942. The light-shielding portions 1921 at least cover the side of the support portion 1941. A light-transmitting opening 1922 is formed between the sides of the light-shielding portions 1921 that are close to each other.

[0065] The display panel includes multiple first covering portions 1911, multiple support portions 1941, and multiple light-shielding portions 1921. Support portions 1941 are located on the side of the first covering portion 1911 away from the drive backplate 10. A support gap 1942 is formed between adjacent support portions 1941 on the same first covering portion 1911. Light-shielding portions 1921 are located within the support gaps 1942, and light-transmitting openings 1922 are formed between the adjacent sides of the light-shielding portions 1921. Before the light-shielding block 211 solidifies to form the light-shielding portion 1921, the support of the support portions 1941 prevents the light-shielding block 211 from peeling off from the first covering portion 1911 during rinsing. Since the shape and size of each light-shielding portion 1921 are basically the same, the shape and size of each light-transmitting opening 1922 are relatively uniform, and the reflectivity of light within each light-transmitting opening 1922 is the same, thereby improving the vertical stripe defects caused by alternating light and dark areas on the display panel.

[0066] The display panel involved in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples.

[0067] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, a display panel may generally include a substrate 11 and a driving circuit layer 13. The driving circuit layer 13 is disposed on one side of the substrate 11. The display panel may also include a buffer layer 12, which is disposed between the substrate 11 and the driving circuit layer 13.

[0068] The substrate 11 can be an inorganic material or an organic material. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 11 can be made of glass materials such as soda-lime glass, quartz glass, or sapphire glass, or it can be made of metal materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, or nickel.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 11 may also be a flexible substrate 11, for example, the material of the substrate 11 may be polyimide (PI). The substrate 11 may also be a composite of multiple materials. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 11 may include a bottom film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a first polyimide layer and a second polyimide layer stacked sequentially.

[0070] The driving circuit layer 13 is provided with a driving circuit for driving the light-emitting unit 162. The driving circuit is located in the display area, and any driving circuit can include a transistor, which can be a thin-film transistor (TFT). The TFT can be selected from top-gate TFTs, bottom-gate TFTs, or dual-gate TFTs. Taking a top-gate TFT as an example, the driving circuit layer 13 may include a first active layer 131, a first gate insulating layer 1321, a first gate 1331 layer, a second gate insulating layer 1322, a second gate 1332 layer, and a first source / drain metal layer, sequentially disposed along a direction away from the substrate 11, wherein:

[0071] The first active layer 131 is disposed on one side of the substrate 11. The material of the first active layer 131 can be amorphous silicon semiconductor material, low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductor material, metal oxide semiconductor material, organic semiconductor material, or other types of semiconductor material. Therefore, the thin film transistor can be an N-type thin film transistor or a P-type thin film transistor. The first active layer 131 may include a channel region and two doped regions of different doping types located on both sides of the channel region.

[0072] The first gate insulating layer 1321 is disposed on the side of the active layer 131 away from the substrate 11. The first gate insulating layer 1321 can cover the active layer 131 and the substrate 11. The first gate 1331 layer can include the first gate 1331. The first gate 1331 is disposed on the side of the first gate insulating layer 1321 away from the substrate 11 and is directly opposite to the active layer 131. That is, the projection of the first gate 1331 on the substrate 11 is located within the projection range of the active layer 131 on the substrate 11. For example, the projection of the first gate 1331 on the substrate 11 coincides with the projection of the channel region of the active layer 131 on the substrate 11. The second gate insulating layer 1322 is disposed on the side of the first gate 1331 away from the substrate 11. The second gate insulating layer 1322 can cover the first gate 1331 and the first gate insulating layer 1321. The second gate 1332 layer can include the second gate 1332, which is disposed on the side of the second gate insulating layer 1322 away from the substrate 11 and is directly opposite the active layer 131. The materials of the first gate insulating layer 1321 and the second gate insulating layer 1322 are both insulating materials such as silicon oxide.

[0073] The thin-film transistor may further include an interlayer dielectric layer 134, which is disposed on the side of the second gate 1332 away from the substrate 11, and may cover the second gate 1332 and the second gate insulating layer 1322. A first source / drain metal layer is disposed on the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 134 away from the substrate 11, and may include a first source 135 and a drain 136, which are connected to the first active layer 131. For example, the first source 135 and the drain 136 are respectively connected to two doped regions of the corresponding first active layer 131 through vias. A protective layer 137 may also be provided on the side of the first source 135 away from the substrate 11, and the protective layer 137 covers the first source 135 and the drain 136. The driving circuit layer 13 may also include a planarization layer group 139, which includes a first planarization layer 1391. The first planarization layer 1391 is disposed on the side of the protective layer 137 away from the substrate 11, and the first planarization layer 1391 covers the protective layer 137.

[0074] The driving circuit layer 13 may further include a second source / drain metal layer, which is disposed on the side of the first planarization layer 1391 away from the substrate 11. The second source / drain metal layer may include a second source 138, which is connected to the first source 135. The planarization layer group 139 may further include a second planarization layer 1392, which is disposed on the side of the second source 138 away from the substrate 11. The second planarization layer 1392 covers the second source 138 and the first planarization layer 1391.

[0075] The display panel may further include a pixel defining layer 15 and a light-emitting layer 16. The pixel defining layer 15 is disposed on the side of the first planarization layer 1391 or the second planarization layer 1392 away from the array substrate. The pixel defining layer 15 includes a plurality of pixel defining portions 152, and a pixel opening 151 is formed between two adjacent pixel defining portions 152. The light-emitting layer 16 may include a plurality of light-emitting units 162, which are respectively disposed in different pixel openings 151. Each light-emitting unit 162 may include a pixel electrode 161, a light-emitting unit 162, and a common electrode 163. The pixel electrode 161 is located on the surface of the first planarization layer 1391 or the second planarization layer 1392 away from the substrate 11. The light-emitting unit 162 is disposed on the surface of the pixel electrode 161 away from the substrate 11, and the common electrode 163 is disposed on the surface of the light-emitting unit 162 away from the substrate 11. The light-emitting unit 162 can be driven to emit light through the pixel electrode 161 and the common electrode 163 to display an image.

[0076] Pixel electrode 161 is connected to either the first source 135 or the second source 138. A pixel defining layer 15 is provided on the side of pixel electrode 161 away from the substrate 11. When the thin-film transistor includes only the first source 135, pixel electrode 161 is connected to the first source 135, and pixel defining layer 15 covers pixel electrode 161 and the first planarization layer 1391. When the thin-film transistor also includes the second source 138, pixel electrode 161 is connected to the second source 138, and pixel defining layer 15 covers pixel electrode 161 and the second planarization layer 1392.

[0077] The common electrode 163 can serve as the cathode, and the pixel electrode 161 can serve as the anode. Light emission from the light-emitting unit 162 can be driven by applying a signal to the pixel electrode 161; the specific light emission principle will not be detailed here. The light-emitting unit 162 may contain an electroluminescent organic light-emitting material and can be formed using processes such as vapor deposition. For example, the light-emitting unit 162 may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light generation layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer sequentially stacked on the pixel electrode 161. It should be noted that, depending on the emitted color, the light-emitting unit 162 may include a first light-emitting unit 1621, a second light-emitting unit 1622, and a third light-emitting unit 1623.

[0078] Furthermore, the display panel of the present invention may also include an encapsulation layer 17, which is disposed on the side of the light-emitting layer 16 away from the substrate 11, thereby covering the light-emitting layer 16 and preventing water and oxygen corrosion. The encapsulation layer 17 may be a single-layer or multi-layer structure, and the material of the encapsulation layer 17 may include organic or inorganic materials, without special limitation. In this embodiment, the encapsulation layer 17 may include a first inorganic encapsulation layer 171, an organic encapsulation layer 172, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer 173. The first inorganic encapsulation layer 171 is disposed on the side of the light-emitting layer 16 away from the substrate 11, the organic encapsulation layer 172 is disposed on the side of the first inorganic encapsulation layer 171 away from the substrate 11, and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 173 is disposed on the side of the organic encapsulation layer 172 away from the substrate 11.

[0079] The display panel also includes a touch control layer 18, which can be a mutual capacitive touch control layer. The touch control layer 18 includes a first touch control layer 181 and a second touch control layer 182. The first touch control layer 181 is a metal mesh layer (MM), and the second touch control layer 182 is a bridge metal layer (BM). The metal mesh is located in the display area and can be divided into touch-driving (Tx) metal mesh and touch-sensing (Rx) metal mesh according to the horizontal and vertical directions. One of the touch-sensing (Rx) metal mesh and the touch-driving (Tx) metal mesh is interconnected, while the other is connected through the bridge metal layer.

[0080] The first tactile control layer 181 is disposed on the side of the substrate 11 away from the encapsulation layer 17, and the second tactile control layer 182 is disposed between the first tactile control layer 181 and the encapsulation layer 17. The tactile control layer 18 may further include a touch blocking layer 183 and a touch isolating layer 184, with the touch blocking layer 183 disposed between the encapsulation layer 17 and the second tactile control layer 182, and the touch isolating layer 184 disposed between the first tactile control layer 181 and the second tactile control layer 182.

[0081] The first tactile control layer 181 may include a plurality of first touch units 1811, which are spaced apart. The orthographic projection of a first touch unit 1811 on the substrate 11 is located between the orthographic projections of two adjacent light-emitting units 162 on the substrate 11. The second tactile control layer 182 may include a plurality of second touch units 1821, whose orthographic projections on the substrate 11 overlap with the orthographic projections of the first touch units 1811 on the substrate 11.

[0082] The display panel may further include a light control layer 19, which includes a first cover layer 191. The first cover layer 191 includes a plurality of first cover portions 1911, which are disposed on the side of the first touch unit 1811 away from the substrate 11 and cover the first touch unit 1811. The first cover portions 1911 insulate the first touch unit 1811, thereby reducing the thickness of the display panel. The orthographic projection of the first cover portion 1911 on the substrate 11 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the pixel definition portion 152 on the substrate 11, and the distance between the edge of the orthographic projection of the first cover portion 1911 on the substrate 11 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the pixel definition portion 152 on the substrate 11 is less than 3 μm.

[0083] The slope angle of the side of the first cover portion 1911 is less than 90 degrees, that is, the angle between the side of the first cover portion 1911 and the side of the first cover portion 1911 close to the substrate 11 is less than 90 degrees. In this embodiment, the angle between the side of the first cover portion 1911 and the side of the first cover portion 1911 close to the substrate 11 can be between 45 degrees and 85 degrees. The shape of the first cover portion 1911 is trapezoidal, and its side is a conventional bevel, making the slope angle easier to control. A dimming opening 1912 is formed between two adjacent first cover portions 1911.

[0084] The light control layer 19 may further include a support layer 194, wherein the support portion 1941 is made of a transparent resin that is different from the material of the first cover portion 1911. The support layer 194 includes a plurality of support portions 1941, which are disposed on the side of the first cover portion 1911 away from the substrate 11, and the support portions 1941 are disposed around the dimming opening 1912.

[0085] The light control layer 19 may further include a light-shielding layer 192, which includes a plurality of light-shielding portions 1921. The light-shielding portions 1921 are located on the side of the first covering portion 1911 away from the driving backplate 10, and are disposed within the support gap 1942, at least covering the side surface of the support portion 1941. Light-transmitting openings 1922 are formed between the adjacent sides of the light-shielding portions 1921. Due to the supporting effect of the support portion 1941, the shape and size of the light-shielding portions 1921 are basically the same, thus the shape and size uniformity of each light-transmitting opening 1922 is good, and the reflectivity of light within each light-transmitting opening 1922 is the same, thereby improving the vertical stripe defects of the display panel's alternating light and dark areas.

[0086] The orthographic projection of the light-shielding portion 1921 on the substrate 11 covers the orthographic projection of the first touch unit 1811 on the substrate 11. In other words, the orthographic projection of the first touch unit 1811 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the light-shielding portion 1921 on the substrate 11, and the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the first touch unit 1811 on the substrate 11 is smaller than the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the light-shielding portion 1921 on the substrate 11. This reduces the reflection of ambient light by the touch control layer 18 and improves the light emission efficiency of the display panel at the forward viewing angle.

[0087] The light control layer 19 may also include a filter layer, which includes filter units 193 of different colors. The filter units 193 are disposed in the dimming openings 1912 formed by two adjacent first covering portions 1911. The filter units 193 cover the side of the first covering portion 1911. The width of the overlapping area between the orthographic projection of the filter unit 193 on the substrate 11 and the orthographic projection of the first covering portion 1911 on the substrate 11 is less than or equal to 6 μm.

[0088] The orthographic projection of the filter unit 193 on the driving backplate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit 162 on the driving backplate 10. The filter units 193 of different colors include a first filter unit 1931, a second filter unit 1932, and a third filter unit 1933. The orthographic projection of the first filter unit 1931 on the substrate 11 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting unit 1621 on the substrate 11; the orthographic projection of the second filter unit 1932 on the substrate 11 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting unit 1622 on the substrate 11; and the orthographic projection of the third filter unit 1933 on the substrate 11 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting unit 1623 on the substrate 11. The color of the first light-emitting unit 1621 is red, the color of the second light-emitting unit 1622 is green, and the color of the third light-emitting unit 1623 is blue. The color of the first filter unit 1931 is red, the color of the second filter unit 1932 is green, and the color of the third filter unit 1933 is blue.

[0089] The refractive index of the filter unit 193 is greater than that of the first cover portion 1911. Therefore, reflected light from the ambient light at an oblique angle can undergo total internal reflection on the side of the first cover portion 1911, deflecting it to the direction of the normal viewing angle, thus improving the light extraction efficiency at the normal viewing angle without any energy loss. In this embodiment, the refractive index of the first cover portion 1911 can be a resin material with a refractive index of 1.45-1.5, and the refractive index of the filter unit 193 can be 1.65-1.75.

[0090] The side of the support portion 1941 closest to the substrate 11 is designated as the first support surface, and the side of the first covering portion 1911 furthest from the substrate 11 is designated as the first covering surface. The edge of the first support surface closest to the filter unit 193 is flush with the edge of the first covering surface closest to the filter unit 193. This design maximizes the coverage area of ​​the light-shielding portion 1921 and prevents the support portion 1941 from entering the light-shielding opening and affecting the optical effect inside the opening. As shown in Figure 6, a support gap 1942 is formed between two adjacent support portions 1941. The slope angle θ of the support portion 1941 is 30 to 50 degrees, the angle between the side of the support portion 1941 and the side of the support portion 1941 closest to the substrate 11 is 30 to 50 degrees, and the thickness of the support portion 1941 is 1 μm to 2 μm.

[0091] To increase the coverage area of ​​the light-shielding portion 1921, it can be extended from the side of the support portion 1941 to the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11, so that the light-shielding portion 1921 and the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11 form an overlapping area. To maximize the coverage area of ​​the light-shielding portion 1921 on the side of the first covering portion 1911 away from the substrate 11, the width of the overlapping area is at least 0.6 times the width of the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the width d1 of the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11 is 3 μm to 5 μm, the width d2 of the side of the support portion 1941 close to the substrate 11 is less than 5 μm, and the width of the overlapping area of ​​the light-shielding portion 1921 and the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11 is less than or equal to 3 μm.

[0092] The filter unit 193 extends from the side of the first cover portion 1911 to cover the side of the support portion 1941 and at least a portion of the side of the light-shielding portion 1921 away from the substrate 11. It is understood that the thickness of the filter unit 193 is greater than the sum of the thickness of the first cover portion 1911 and the thickness of the support portion 1941. As shown in FIG6, in this embodiment, the thickness d3 of the support portion 1941 is 1 μm to 2 μm, the thickness d4 of the first cover portion 1911 is 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm, the thickness d5 of the light-shielding portion 1921 is 1 μm to 2.5 μm, and the thickness d6 of the filter unit 193 is 2 μm to 6 μm.

[0093] The display panel may further include a second cover layer 20, which covers the side of the light filter unit 193 away from the substrate 11 and the side of the light shield 1921 away from the substrate 11. The refractive index of the second cover layer 20 is 1.45-1.5, and the thickness of the second cover layer 20 is 3μm-6μm.

[0094] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the material of the support portion 1941 can also be the same as that of the first covering portion 1911, and the support portion 1941 and the first covering portion 1911 can be integrally formed. When forming the first covering layer 191, the thickness of the first covering coating can be increased, and a groove with an inverted trapezoidal cross-section can be formed directly on the side of the first covering coating away from the substrate 11 to form the first covering portion 1911 and the support portion 1941. The width d1 of the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11 is 3 μm to 5 μm, the width d2 of the side of the support portion 1941 close to the substrate 11 is less than 5 μm, the thickness d3 of the support portion 1941 is 1 μm to 2 μm, and the slope angle θ of the support portion 1941 is 30 degrees to 50 degrees. The width of the overlapping area between the light-shielding portion 1921 and the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11 is less than or equal to 3 μm. The thickness of the first covering part 1911, the thickness of the light-shielding part 1921, and the thickness of the light-filtering unit 193 are the same as those in Figure 6, and will not be described again here.

[0095] It is understood that the groove is the support gap 1942, and the protrusion around the groove is the support portion 1941. The support gap 1942 and the support portion 1941 can be formed in one process, which is simpler and less expensive. The width of the support gap 1942 is usually larger than the width of the support portion 1941, which reduces the precision requirements of the mask 22 and lowers the manufacturing cost of the mask 22. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of this display panel is lower. The support portion 1941 is integrally formed with the first covering portion 1911, resulting in a tighter fit between the support portion 1941 and the first covering portion 1911, and better support during the rinsing process.

[0096] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the material of the support portion 1941 is the same as that of the nearest color filter unit 193, both made of the same color resist material. For example, the support portion 1941 closest to the first filter unit 1931 is also made of red resist, the support portion 1941 closest to the second filter unit 1932 is also made of green resist, and the support portion 1941 closest to the third filter unit 1933 is also made of blue resist. The side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11 is flush with the side of the filter unit 193 away from the substrate 11. The width d1 of the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11 is 3μm to 5μm, the width d2 of the side of the support portion 1941 close to the substrate 11 is less than 5μm, the thickness d3 of the support portion 1941 is 1μm to 2μm, and the slope angle θ of the support portion 1941 is 30 degrees to 50 degrees. The width of the overlapping area between the light-shielding portion 1921 and the support portion 1941 on the side away from the substrate 11 is less than or equal to 3 μm. The thickness of the first covering portion 1911 and the thickness of the light-shielding portion 1921 are the same as in FIG. 6, and will not be described again here. The thickness of the filter unit 193 is equal to the sum of the thickness of the first covering portion 1911 and the thickness of the support portion 1941.

[0097] While forming the filter unit 193, the color resist material can be directly extended from the side of the first cover portion 1911 to cover the side of the first cover portion 1911 away from the substrate 11, that is, the filter unit 193 and the support portion 1941 are formed in one process. There is no need to add an additional process to form the support portion 1941, resulting in lower process costs. The support portion 1941 not only supports the light-shielding portion 1921, but also plays a certain role in filtering light. The color resist material is tightly attached to the light-shielding portion 1921 without any gaps between them, so there is no need to cover the side of the light-shielding portion 1921 away from the substrate 11 with color resist material, which also reduces the amount of color resist material used.

[0098] As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the difference from Figures 9 and 10 is that the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11 is flush with the side of the filter unit 193 away from the substrate 11. In the manufacturing process of this display panel, after the first filter unit 1931, the second filter unit 1932, and the third filter unit 1933 are formed within the dimming opening 1912, the support portion 1941 is then formed on the side of the first cover portion 1911 away from the substrate 11.

[0099] The width d1 of the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11 is 3μm to 5μm, the width d2 of the side of the support portion 1941 close to the substrate 11 is less than 5μm, the thickness d3 of the support portion 1941 is 1μm to 2μm, and the slope angle θ of the support portion 1941 is 30 degrees to 50 degrees. The width of the overlapping area between the light-shielding portion 1921 and the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11 is less than or equal to 3μm. The thicknesses of the first covering portion 1911 and the light-shielding portion 1921 are the same as in Figure 6 and will not be described again here. The thickness of the filter unit 193 is equal to the thickness of the first covering portion 1911.

[0100] The advantage of this display panel is that the filter unit 193 is relatively thin, resulting in less light loss when the emitted light from the light-emitting unit 162 passes through the filter unit 193, thus improving the light emission efficiency of the display panel and further reducing its power consumption. When using this structure, the outer edge of the support portion 1941 near the substrate 11 can extend beyond the edge of the first cover portion 1911 away from the substrate 11. Because the filter unit 193 and the support portion 1941 are made of the same material, this will not have any additional impact on the light emission effect.

[0101] As shown in Figure 13, the material of the support portion 1941 is the same as that of the first filter unit 1931, that is, all support portions 1941 are made of red color resist material. As shown in Figure 14, the material of the support portion 1941 is the same as that of the second filter unit 1932, that is, all support portions 1941 are made of green color resist material. As shown in Figure 15, the material of the support portion 1941 is the same as that of the first filter unit 1931, that is, all support portions 1941 are made of blue color resist material. The advantage of the above three display panels is that, while further reducing power consumption, all support portions 1941 can be formed in a single process, resulting in lower processing costs compared to the three different colored support portions 1941 shown in Figure 11.

[0102] The display panel involved in this invention will be further described below with reference to the plan view.

[0103] As shown in Figures 16 to 21, the support portion 1941 has a support opening 1943, which surrounds the dimming opening 1912. The edge of the support portion 1941 extends outward relative to the edge of the first covering portion 1911 away from the substrate 11, exposing a portion of the first covering portion 1911. The edge of the light-shielding portion 1921 extends outward relative to the edge of the first covering portion 1911, exposing a portion of the support portion 1941. The light-shielding portion 1921 fills the support gap 1942 between adjacent support units. The edge of the dimming opening 1912, in its orthographic projection onto the substrate 11, lies between the orthographic projections of the two mutually distant sides of the support portion 1941 onto the substrate 11. As shown in the figure, the filter unit 193 is disposed in the dimming opening 1912 and the support opening 1943. The edge of the filter unit 193 extends outward relative to the mutually distant edges of the support opening 1943. That is, the orthogonal projection of the filter unit 193 on the substrate 11 covers the orthogonal projection of the support portion 1941 on the substrate 11, as well as the orthogonal projection of part of the light-shielding portion 1921 on the substrate 11.

[0104] The dimming opening 1912 includes a first dimming opening 1913, a second dimming opening 1914, and a third dimming opening 1915. The light-transmitting opening 1922 includes a first light-transmitting opening 1923, a second light-transmitting opening 1924, and a third light-transmitting opening 1925. A first filter unit 1931 is disposed within the first dimming opening 1913 and the first light-transmitting opening 1923. A second filter unit 1932 is disposed within the second dimming opening 1914 and the second light-transmitting opening 1924. A third filter unit 1933 is disposed within the third dimming opening 1915 and the third light-transmitting opening 1925. The edge of the first filter unit 1931 extends outward relative to the side of the support portion 1941 near the substrate 11, away from the edge of the first dimming opening 1913; the edge of the second filter unit 1932 extends outward relative to the side of the support portion 1941 near the substrate 11, away from the edge of the second dimming opening 1914; and the edge of the third filter unit 1933 extends outward relative to the side of the support portion 1941 near the substrate 11, away from the edge of the third dimming opening 1915.

[0105] Figures 18 and 19 are essentially the same as Figures 16 and 17, except that the material of the support portion 1941 is the same as the material of the first covering portion 1911. Figure 20 is essentially the same as Figures 16 and 17, except that the edge of the filter unit 193 coincides with the side of the support portion 1941 away from the substrate 11. The material of the support portion 1941 is the same as the material of the filter units 193 of different colors, so the edges of the color resist materials of different colors extend outward relative to the edge of the first covering portion 1911. Figure 21 is essentially the same as Figure 20, except that the material of the support portion 1941 is the same as the material of the red filter unit 193. When the material of the support portion 1941 is the same as the material of the green or blue filter unit 193, the top view of the display panel can be referred to in Figure 21.

[0106] It should be noted that the specific structure of the encapsulation layer 17, the second touch control layer 182, the touch blocking layer 183 and the touch isolation layer 184 are omitted in Figures 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 to 21. Their arrangement is basically the same as that in Figure 10. You can refer to the specific structure in Figure 10.
