Detailed Description
In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It is noted that in the following description, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The invention can be practiced in a variety of other ways than as described herein.
In one aspect, the present invention provides a display panel including a display region including a light emitting region and a non-light emitting region.
In a specific embodiment, the display panel includes a first display area, fig. 1 is a top view of the first display area, fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of one example taken along line I-I of fig. 1, and fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of one example taken along line II-II of fig. 1.
As can be seen from fig. 1 to 3, the light-emitting region P1 of the first display region provided by the present invention comprises an anode 2, a light-emitting layer 3, a first electron transport layer 4, a patterned second electron transport layer 5 and a first cathode 6 stacked on one side of a substrate 1, and the non-light-emitting region P2 of the first display region comprises the first electron transport layer 4, the patterned third electron transport layer 7 and a second cathode 8 stacked in sequence, wherein the second cathode 8 is electrically connected with the first cathode 6.
In the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the top view of the first display area includes a first electrode 6 and a second cathode 8, and the first cathode 6 and the second cathode 8 are electrically connected. In fig. 1, the dashed box region represents the patterned second electron transport layer 5, and the first cathode 6 completely covers the surface of the patterned second electron transport layer 5, so that the first cathode 6 has the same pattern as the second electron transport layer 5.
In the process of the first display area, since the first electron transport layer 4 is made of an organic material having a metal-repellent property, metal atoms cannot be deposited on the surface thereof, and thus, in the process of manufacturing the display panel, metal cannot be deposited on the surface of the first electron transport layer 4 to form a cathode. In the present invention, by providing the patterned second electron transport layer 5 on the side of the first electron transport layer 4, a metal can be deposited on the side of the patterned second electron transport layer 5 away from the first electron transport layer 4 to form the first cathode 6. Thus, in the present invention, the first cathode 6 having the same pattern as the second electron transport layer 5 means that the first cathode 6 formed by depositing metal on the surface of the patterned second electron transport layer 5 covers the surface of the patterned second electron transport layer 5, i.e. the first cathode 6 has the same pattern as the second electron transport layer 5.
Similarly, in the non-light-emitting region of the first display region, the second cathode 8 completely covers the surface of the patterned third electron transport layer 7, and thus, the second cathode 8 has the same pattern as the third electron transport layer 7.
In the invention, the patterns of the first cathode 6and the second electron transport layer 5 are designed to be the same, and the patterns of the second cathode 8and the third electron transport layer 7 are designed to be the same, so that the second cathode 8 does not completely cover the non-luminous area of the first display area, thereby improving the light transmittance of the first display area.
As can be seen from fig. 2 and 3, the substrate 1 is provided with a bank a covering the edges of the anodes 2 while separating two adjacent anodes 2. In the present invention, the light-emitting region P1 is an opening region where the bank a is not provided, and the non-light-emitting region P2 is a non-opening region where the bank a is provided.
The luminescent layer 3 is arranged on one surface of the anode 2 far away from the substrate 1, and the luminescent layer 3 comprises a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer and an organic luminescent layer which are sequentially overlapped, wherein the hole injection layer is positioned between the anode 2 and the hole transport layer.
As shown in fig. 4, in the present invention, the light emitting region of the first display region includes a substrate 1, an anode 2, a hole injection layer 31, a hole transport layer 32, an organic light emitting layer 33, a first electron transport layer 4, a patterned second electron transport layer 5, and a first cathode 6, which are sequentially stacked.

As can be seen from fig. 5 to 6 and fig. 3, the light-emitting region P1 of the first display region provided by the present invention includes an anode 2, a light-emitting layer 3, a first electron transport layer 4, a patterned second electron transport layer 5 and a first cathode 6 stacked on a substrate 1, wherein the non-light-emitting region P2 of the first display region includes a patterned fourth electron transport layer 9 and a second cathode 8 stacked in sequence, and the second cathode 8 is electrically connected to the first cathode 6.
As can be seen from fig. 5, in another embodiment of the present invention, the first display area includes a first cathode 6, a second cathode 8 and a patterned fourth electron transport layer 9, wherein the first cathode 6 and the second cathode 8 are electrically connected. In fig. 5, the dashed box region represents the patterned second electron transport layer 5, the first cathode 6 completely covers the surface of the patterned second electron transport layer 5, so that the first cathode 6 has the same pattern as the second electron transport layer 5, the second cathode 8 fills the non-patterned region of the patterned fourth electron transport layer 9, and finally the second cathode 8 and the patterned fourth electron transport layer 9 together cover the non-light emitting region of the first display region, so that the second cathode 8 and the patterned fourth electron transport layer 9 are complementary.
A schematic structure of the fourth electron transport layer 9 patterned in the non-light emitting region of the first display region is shown in fig. 7. As can be seen from fig. 7, the patterned fourth electron transport layer 9 is not provided at the positions of the first cathode 6 and the second cathode 8. After the second cathode 8 is evaporated in the non-light emitting region of the first display region, the schematic structure is shown in fig. 8. As can be seen from fig. 8, the second cathode 8 fills the non-pattern portion of the patterned fourth electron transport layer 9 in the non-light emitting region of the first display region, and finally the second cathode 8 and the patterned fourth electron transport layer 9 together cover the non-light emitting region of the first display region, i.e. the second cathode 8 and the patterned fourth electron transport layer 9 are complementary.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the second cathode 8 is located between two adjacent first cathodes 6, and the width of the second cathode 8 is smaller than the width of the first cathode 6 along a first direction, where the first direction is perpendicular to the direction in which the two first cathodes 6 are connected, and is parallel to the plane in which the display panel is located.
In a specific embodiment, the second cathode 8 at least partially overlaps with the line connecting the geometric centers of two adjacent first cathodes 6.
In a specific embodiment, a schematic top view structure of the first display area is shown in fig. 9, wherein a dotted line indicates a connection line between geometric centers of two adjacent first cathodes 6, and it can be seen that the second cathode 8 is overlapped with the connection line between geometric centers of two adjacent first cathodes 6. A schematic cross-sectional structure at the dashed line is shown in fig. 2. As can be seen from the combination of fig. 10 and fig. 2, at the dotted line, the second cathode 8 completely covers the connection line between the geometric centers of the adjacent two first cathodes 6, so as to electrically connect the adjacent two cathodes.
In another embodiment, a schematic top view structure of the first display area is shown in fig. 10, wherein a dotted line indicates a connection line between geometric centers of two adjacent first cathodes 6, and as can be seen from fig. 10, the second cathode 8 partially overlaps with the connection line between geometric centers of two adjacent first cathodes 6. As shown in fig. 11, in the schematic cross-sectional structure at the dotted line, as can be seen from fig. 11, the second cathode 8 is discontinuous in the non-light-emitting region, which illustrates that the second cathode 8 partially covers the connection line between the geometric centers of the adjacent two first cathodes 6.
In the present invention, the second cathode 8 is electrically connected to the adjacent two first cathodes 6 by controlling the connection line between the geometric centers of the second cathode 8 and the adjacent two first cathodes 6 to at least partially overlap.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 12, the second cathode 8 is located between two adjacent first cathodes 6, and the width of the second cathode 8 is equal to the width of the first cathode 6 along a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the direction in which the two first cathodes 6 are connected and parallel to the plane of the display panel. In the second direction, two adjacent second cathodes 8 comprise a first space 10, the first space 10 being located in the non-light emitting area 2 of the first display area.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 13, the width of the second cathode 8 is greater than the width of the first cathode 6 along a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the direction in which the two first cathodes 6 are connected and parallel to the plane of the display panel. In said second direction, two adjacent second cathodes 8 comprise a first separation 10.
In the present invention, in the second direction, whether the width of the second cathode 8 is equal to the width of the first cathode 6 or the width of the second cathode 8 is greater than the width of the first cathode 6, a first space 10 is disposed between the two cathodes, and since the first space 10 is located in the non-light-emitting area of the first display area and the second cathode 8 does not cover the first space 10, light can pass through the area of the first space 10, and the light transmittance of the first display area is improved.
In one embodiment, the display panel includes a second display area, fig. 14 is a top view of the second display area, and fig. 15 is a cross-sectional view taken along line V-V and line VI-VI of fig. 1.
As can be seen from fig. 14 and 15, the light emitting region of the second display region includes an anode 2, a light emitting layer 3, a patterned second electron transport layer 5 and a third cathode 11 stacked on a substrate 1, and the non-light emitting region P2 of the second display region includes the third cathode 11.
Fig. 14 is a top view of the second display region, wherein the dashed box region represents the patterned second electron transport layer 5. In the cross-sectional view taken along line V-V and line VI-VI in fig. 14, the third cathode 11 covers the light-emitting region and the non-light-emitting region. As can be seen from fig. 14 and 15, the third cathode 11 completely covers the second display region, and therefore, the light transmittance of the second display region is low.
In the display panel provided by the invention, the non-light-emitting area of the first display area is electrically connected with the first cathode 6 of the light-emitting area of the first display area, and the second cathode 8 does not completely cover the non-light-emitting area of the first display area, so that light can pass through the non-light-emitting area of the first display area to enable the first display area to have higher light transmittance, and in the second display area of the display panel, the third cathode 11 completely covers the light-emitting area and the non-light-emitting area of the second display area to cause lower light transmittance of the second display area, so that the transmittance of the second display area is smaller than that of the first display area.
