The display panel 100 has a plurality of sub-pixels 30 arranged in an array.
An embodiment of the invention provides a display panel 100, which includes a substrate 10, a pixel defining layer 20, and at least one first carrier layer 32. At least one first charge carrier layer 32 defines a film structure that may include at least one layer in first charge carrier layer 32, and specifically, may include a film structure, and may also include two or more film structures.
The substrate 10 may be an array substrate including a device layer, among others. The device layer may include pixel circuitry for driving the display of each sub-pixel 30.
The pixel defining layer 20 is located on one side of the substrate 10, the pixel defining layer 20 includes a pixel opening 21 penetrating through the thickness of the pixel defining layer 20, the pixel opening 21 includes a first sub-opening 211 and a second sub-opening 212 communicating with each other along the thickness direction of the pixel defining layer 20, the first sub-opening 211 is located on one side close to the substrate 10, and the second sub-opening 212 is located on one side of the first sub-opening 211 facing away from the substrate 10. The at least one first charge carrier layer 32 includes a first portion 32a and a second portion 32b separated from each other, the first portion 32a is located in the first sub-opening 211, the second portion 32b is located on an inner surface of the second sub-opening 212, and the second portion 32b may also be located on a surface of the pixel defining layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10.
In some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes a first electrode 31 and a light emitting layer 34. The first electrode 31 is located between the first portion 32a of the at least one first carrier layer 32 and the substrate 10, and the first electrode 31 is exposed to the pixel opening 21. The light-emitting layer 34 is located within the pixel opening 21 and on a side of the first portion 32a of the at least one first carrier layer 32 facing away from the first electrode 31.
The pixel aperture 21 of the pixel defining layer 20 defines a light emitting region of the display panel 100, that is, a position of each sub-pixel 30, and the structure located in the pixel aperture 21 is used for realizing display of the display panel 100.
In the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the at least one first carrier layer 32 is located between the first electrode 31 and the light emitting layer 34, and since the at least one first carrier layer 32 includes the first portion 32a located in the first sub-opening 211 and the second portion 32b located on the surface of the pixel defining layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10 and the inner surface of the second sub-opening 212, and the first portion 32a and the second portion 32b are separated from each other, when the pixel circuit drives the corresponding sub-pixel 30 to emit light, carriers are disconnected at the separation point of the first portion 32a and the second portion 32b when moving laterally, so that the carriers only move laterally in the first carrier layer 32 located in the first sub-opening 211, and the carriers are effectively prevented from moving to other adjacent sub-pixels 30 to cause the other sub-pixels 30 to emit light, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
In some embodiments, a cross-sectional dimension of the first sub-opening 211 parallel to the substrate 10 is less than or equal to a cross-sectional dimension of the second sub-opening 212 parallel to the substrate 10. By reasonably setting the sizes of the first sub-opening 211 and the second sub-opening 212, the pixel opening 21 can be easily manufactured, and the mutual crosstalk between the adjacent sub-pixels 30 can be effectively prevented.
In some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes a second electrode layer 36, the second electrode layer 36 is located on a side of the light emitting layer 34 facing away from the substrate 10, and the second electrode layer 36 is a continuous structure. By providing the continuous second electrode layer 36, the display panel 100 can be manufactured easily, and power can be supplied to the second electrode layer 36 easily when the display panel 100 performs power on display. In a specific implementation, since the second electrode layer 36 has a continuous structure, it can be fabricated using a common mask (common mask), thereby improving the fabrication efficiency of the display panel 100.
Alternatively, the second electrode layer 36 may have a discontinuous structure as long as it can be connected to the light emitting layer 34 and can supply a voltage signal to the plurality of sub-pixels.
One of the first electrode 31 and the second electrode layer 36 is an anode layer, and the other is a cathode layer. Here, the first electrode 31 is taken as an anode layer, and the second electrode layer 36 is taken as a cathode layer.
It is understood that, herein, the "functional layer" refers to a functional layer related to carriers in the sub-pixel 30, and includes, but is not limited to, a layer structure that performs functions of carrier injection, carrier transport, or carrier blocking.
Referring to fig. 4 and fig. 5, in order to better realize the display of the display panel 100, in some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes at least one second carrier layer 35, the at least one second carrier layer 35 is located between the light emitting layer 34 and the second electrode layer 36, and the at least one second carrier layer 35 is a continuous structure. At least one second carrier layer 35 defines a film structure that may include one layer in the second carrier layer 35, and may also include two or more layers.
By arranging at least one continuous second carrier layer 35 between the light-emitting layer 34 and the second electrode layer 36, when the second electrode layer 36 is powered on, the second carrier layer 35 can provide carriers for the light-emitting layer 34 or block the carriers, so that the light-emitting layer 34 can emit light better. Meanwhile, the second carrier layer 35 is of a continuous structure, so that a continuous second electrode layer 36 can be conveniently manufactured above the second carrier layer 35, and the situation that the second electrode layer 36 is discontinuous is avoided.
In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-pixels 30 in the display panel 100 include sub-pixels having different emission colors to realize color display of the display panel 100. Optionally, the light emitting layer 34 includes a plurality of light emitting units with different light emitting colors, each light emitting unit corresponds to one of the pixel openings 21, and the first sub-openings 211 of the pixel openings 21 corresponding to different types of light emitting units have different depths along the thickness direction of the display panel 100. Optionally, in order to realize that the sub-pixels 30 with different emission colors can be better matched to realize display, the thicknesses of the light emitting units or the micro-cavities corresponding to the sub-pixels 30 with different emission colors are different, and therefore, by setting the depths of the first sub-openings 211 corresponding to different kinds of light emitting units along the thickness direction of the display panel 100 to be different, not only can at least one first carrier layer 32 between adjacent sub-pixels 30 be disconnected from each other, but also the situation that the second electrode layer 36 is discontinuous can be effectively prevented. In some embodiments, the light emitting layer 34 includes a first light emitting unit 341 emitting blue light, a second light emitting unit 342 emitting red light, and a third light emitting unit 343 emitting green light, the thickness of the second light emitting unit 342 is greater than both the thickness of the third light emitting unit 343 and the thickness of the first light emitting unit 341, and the thickness of the third light emitting unit 343 is greater than the thickness of the first light emitting unit 341, accordingly, the depth of the first sub-opening 211 corresponding to the second light emitting unit 342 in the thickness direction of the display panel 100 is the largest, and the depth of the first sub-opening 211 corresponding to the third light emitting unit 343 is greater than the depth of the first sub-opening 211 corresponding to the first light emitting unit 341. With the above arrangement, at least one of the first carrier layers 32 between adjacent sub-pixels 30 is disconnected from each other, and the second electrode layer 36 is prevented from being discontinuous.
In some embodiments, at least one first carrier layer 32 between adjacent sub-pixels 30 is fabricated simultaneously, and the film thickness of the first carrier layer 32 is uniform, so that the depths of the first sub-openings 211 of the pixel openings 21 corresponding to different types of light emitting units along the thickness direction of the display panel 100 may be the same, and at this time, the at least one first carrier layer 32 can be broken and the light emitting layer 34 can be located in the second sub-opening 212, so as to prevent the display viewing angle from being affected.
In some embodiments, a compensation structure 33 is disposed between the first portion 32a of the first carrier layer 32 and the light emitting layer 34, optionally, the compensation structure 33 is located in the first sub-opening 211, and the compensation structure 33 includes a plurality of compensation units corresponding to the plurality of light emitting units, respectively. By providing a plurality of compensation units, the microcavity of the sub-pixel 30 corresponding to the compensation unit can be adjusted, thereby improving the display effect.
The compensation unit can be made of a triarylamine material to better adjust the microcavity of the sub-pixel 30.
In some embodiments, in the same pixel opening 21, the total thickness of the light emitting unit, the compensation unit and the at least one first carrier layer 32 is greater than or equal to the depth of the first sub-opening 211. Through the arrangement, on one hand, the depth of the first sub-opening 211 can be set reasonably, so that the surface of the light-emitting unit, which is away from the substrate 10, can be located in the second sub-opening 212, and a continuous film structure can be formed on the functional film layer manufactured in the post-production process of the light-emitting unit. For example, when the display panel 100 includes at least one second carrier layer 35 and the second electrode layer 36, since the total thickness of the light emitting unit, the compensation unit and the at least one first carrier layer 32 is greater than or equal to the depth of the first sub-opening 211, the at least one second carrier layer 35 and the second electrode layer 36 in the adjacent sub-pixels 30 are continuous with each other, and the manufacturing process of the display panel 100 is simplified.
In some embodiments, the light emitting layer 34 includes a first light emitting unit 341, a second light emitting unit 342, and a third light emitting unit 343 which emit different colors, and correspondingly, a first compensation unit 331 is disposed between the first portion 32a of the first carrier layer 32 and the first light emitting unit 341, a second compensation unit 332 is disposed between the first portion 32a of the first carrier layer 32 and the second light emitting unit 342, and a third compensation unit 333 is disposed between the first portion 32a of the first carrier layer 32 and the third light emitting unit 343. By reasonably setting the thicknesses of the first compensation unit 331, the second compensation unit 332 and the third compensation unit 333, the microcavity of the corresponding sub-pixel 30 can be adjusted, and the light emitting efficiency of the corresponding sub-pixel 30 is improved.
When the first light emitting unit 341 is capable of emitting blue light, the second light emitting unit 342 is capable of emitting red light, and the third light emitting unit 343 is capable of emitting green light, since wavelengths of different colors are different, alternatively, the thickness of the second compensation unit 332 may be set to be greater than the thickness of the third compensation unit 333 and the thickness of the first compensation unit 331, respectively, and the thickness of the third compensation unit 333 is set to be greater than the thickness of the first compensation unit 331, so as to adjust the microcavity of the corresponding sub-pixel 30.
Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments, when the display panel 100 includes the second electrode layer 36 and at least one second carrier layer 35 on a side of the light emitting layer 34 facing away from the substrate 10, the at least one second carrier layer 35 is located between the light emitting layer 34 and the second electrode layer 36, the at least one second carrier layer 35 includes a third portion 35a and a fourth portion 35b separated from each other, the third portion 35a is located in the first sub-opening 211, the fourth portion 35b is located in the fourth portion 35b on an inner surface of the second sub-opening 212, and the fourth portion 35b may also be located on a surface of the pixel defining layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10. Through the arrangement, at least one second carrier layer 35 in the adjacent sub-pixels 30 is also disconnected, so that when the sub-pixels 30 are powered on, carriers move to other adjacent sub-pixels 30 to cause the other sub-pixels 30 to emit light, the display effect of the display panel 100 is improved, and the situations of color cast and the like of a display picture are avoided.
Optionally, in the same pixel opening 21, the total thickness of at least one first carrier layer 32, the compensation unit, the light emitting unit, and at least one second carrier layer 35 along the thickness direction of the display panel 100 is greater than or equal to the depth of the first sub-opening 211. With the above arrangement, on the one hand, current crosstalk between adjacent sub-pixels 30 during display can be avoided, and on the other hand, the functional film layer formed after the at least one second carrier layer 35 forms a continuous structure, for example, the second electrode layer 36 formed after the at least one second carrier layer 35 forms a continuous structure.
In some embodiments, the at least one first carrier layer 32 includes at least one of a first carrier injection layer, a first carrier transport layer, and a second carrier blocking layer, and the at least one second carrier layer 35 includes at least one of a second carrier injection layer, a second carrier transport layer, and a first carrier blocking layer, wherein one of the first and second carriers is a hole and the other is an electron.
