In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and the like used in the description of the embodiments of the present invention are used in the angle shown in the drawings, and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention. In addition, in this context, it is also to be understood that when an element is referred to as being "on" or "under" another element, it can be directly formed on "or" under "the other element or be indirectly formed on" or "under" the other element through an intermediate element.
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, a top view of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate 1 and a plurality of display units 2 disposed on the substrate 1, where each display unit 2 includes an organic light emitting display unit 3 and a micro light emitting diode display unit 4. The Micro Light Emitting Diode display unit 4 is composed of Micro-Light Emitting diodes (Micro-leds), and the Micro-Led display unit 4 has the advantages of high Light Emitting efficiency, low energy consumption, high resolution and the like, and the size of the Micro-Led display unit is only about 1-100 μm. As shown in fig. 2, which is a broken-line diagram of driving current-luminance of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to fig. 1, when the display unit 2 displays low gray scale, the organic light emitting display unit 3 is turned on, and the micro-led display unit 4 is turned off; when the display unit 2 displays the high gray scale, the organic light emitting display unit 3 is turned off, and the micro light emitting diode display unit 4 is turned on. As shown in fig. 3, which is a broken-line diagram of driving current-luminance of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to fig. 1, when the display unit 2 displays low gray scale, the organic light emitting display unit 3 is turned on, and the micro-led display unit 4 is turned off; when the display unit 2 displays the high gray scale, the organic light emitting display unit 3 is turned on, the micro light emitting diode display unit 4 is turned on, and at this stage, the organic light emitting display unit 3 keeps the low gray scale brightness unchanged, and the brightness of the organic light emitting display unit 3 and the brightness of the micro light emitting diode display unit 4 are superposed. The embodiment of the invention can avoid the discontinuity of pixel brightness and chromaticity caused by the change of the light-emitting device when the display is carried out from low gray scale to high gray scale, thereby ensuring better display effect. Meanwhile, since the brightness of the organic light emitting display unit 3 is always kept below the low gray scale, the power consumption can be saved. The gray scale value range of the low gray scale is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to X, the gray scale value range of the high gray scale is greater than X and less than or equal to Y, wherein X and Y are positive integers, and Y is the highest gray scale of the display screen. For example, X may be 128 and Y may be 256.
As shown in fig. 4a-4b, fig. 4a is a schematic voltage-current curve diagram of a micro led display unit according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 4b is a schematic diagram illustrating a current-optical power curve of a micro LED display unit according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 4c is a schematic voltage-current density curve of an OLED unit according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 4d is a graph illustrating a current density-luminance curve of an organic light emitting display unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein the optical power is the work performed by the light per unit time. The current density vector is a physical quantity describing the intensity and flow direction of a current at a certain point in a circuit. The brightness is a physical quantity of the intensity of light emission (reflection) on the surface of a light-emitting body (reflector). As can be seen from analyzing fig. 4a-4b, the light emitting efficiency and brightness of the micro led display unit are higher than those of the organic light emitting display unit, and thus, the change of the current causes the brightness of the micro led display unit to change greatly, which makes the gray-scale value control difficult. Compared with a micro light-emitting diode display unit, the voltage-current-brightness curve of the organic light-emitting display unit is gentler than that of the micro light-emitting diode display unit, gray scale value accurate control is easier to achieve, the display effect is better, the brightness uniformity is better, and meanwhile, the light-emitting efficiency is low and the power consumption is high. According to the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention, the organic light-emitting display unit and the micro light-emitting diode display unit are arranged in each display unit, and when the display units display low gray scales, the organic light-emitting display unit is started, and the micro light-emitting diode display unit is closed; when the display unit displays high gray scale, the organic light emitting display unit is closed or opened, the micro light emitting diode display unit is opened, the requirements of low gray scale display and high gray scale control precision of the display unit are met, the brightness nonuniformity caused by voltage nonuniformity is reduced, meanwhile, the requirements of high gray scale display, high efficiency of the display unit and remarkable reduction of power consumption are met.
In the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the gray scale value range of the low gray scale is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to X, and the gray scale value range of the high gray scale is greater than X and less than or equal to Y, where X and Y are positive integers, and Y is the highest gray scale of the display screen. Alternatively, X may be 128 and Y may be 256.
The display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention further comprises a first pixel driving circuit and a second pixel driving circuit, wherein each organic light-emitting display unit is coupled with one corresponding first pixel driving circuit, and the first pixel driving circuit controls the on and off of the organic light-emitting display unit; each micro light-emitting diode display unit is coupled with one corresponding second pixel driving circuit, and the second pixel driving circuit controls the on and off of the micro light-emitting diode display unit. The first pixel driving circuit comprises a first thin film transistor, the second pixel driving circuit comprises a second thin film transistor, and the first thin film transistor and the second thin film transistor respectively comprise a source electrode, a drain electrode and a grid electrode.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 5, for the first pixel driving circuit schematic diagram provided in the embodiment of the present invention, one organic light emitting display unit 3 is coupled to a corresponding one of the first pixel driving circuits 51, and the first pixel driving circuit 51 includes a first thin film transistor T1, a switching thin film transistor T, and a storage capacitor Cs. With reference to fig. 5, the display panel according to the embodiment of the invention further includes a first data line 71, a first scan line 81, and a driving unit (not shown). The first thin film transistor T1 is a driving thin film transistor for driving the organic light emitting display unit 3 to emit light, and when the driving unit inputs a first driving signal to the first pixel driving circuit 51 through the first scan line 81, the switching thin film transistor T is turned on, and the driving unit transmits a first data signal to the gate layer G1 of the first thin film transistor T2 through the first data line 71 and simultaneously charges the storage capacitor Cs. Then, the first thin film transistor T1 is turned on, the driving current flows from the power source terminal (Vdd) through the organic light emitting display unit 3 to the ground terminal, and the organic light emitting display unit 3 emits light by the driving current. After the switching thin film transistor T is turned off, due to the holding function of the storage capacitor Cs, the voltage of the gate layer G1 of the first thin film transistor T1 is kept unchanged during one frame of display time period, so that the first thin film transistor T1 is continuously turned on during the whole display time period, and the driving current can flow from the power supply terminal (Vdd) to the ground terminal of the organic light emitting display unit 3 during the whole display time period, thereby ensuring that the organic light emitting display unit 3 can normally emit light during the whole display time period. The above-described switching thin film transistor T, first thin film transistor T1, and storage capacitor Cs may be provided on the substrate base plate.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 6, for a schematic diagram of a second pixel driving circuit provided in the embodiment of the present invention, one micro light emitting diode display unit 4 is coupled to a corresponding second pixel driving circuit 52, and the second pixel driving circuit 52 includes a second thin film transistor T2, a switching thin film transistor T and a storage capacitor Cs. With continued reference to fig. 6, the display panel according to the embodiment of the invention further includes a second data line 72, a second scan line 82, and a driving unit (not shown). The second tft T2 is a driving tft for driving the micro led display unit 4 to emit light, and when the driving unit inputs a second driving signal to the second pixel driving circuit 52 through the second scan line 82, the switching tft T is turned on, and the driving unit transmits a second data signal to the gate layer G2 of the second tft T2 through the second data line 72 and simultaneously charges the storage capacitor Cs. Then, the second thin film transistor T2 is turned on, and the driving current flows from the power source terminal (Vdd) through the micro-led display unit 4 to the common signal line 62, and the micro-led display unit 4 emits light under the action of the driving current. After the switching thin film transistor T is turned off, due to the holding function of the storage capacitor Cs, the voltage of the gate layer G2 of the second thin film transistor T2 is kept unchanged in one frame display period, so that the second thin film transistor T2 is continuously turned on in the whole display period, and the driving current can flow from the power supply terminal (Vdd) to the common signal line 62 through the micro light emitting diode display unit 4 in the whole display period, thereby ensuring that the micro light emitting diode display unit 4 can normally emit light in the whole display period. The above-described switching thin film transistor T, second thin film transistor T2, and storage capacitor Cs may be provided on the substrate, wherein the common signal line 62 may be a ground line.
Optionally, the first pixel driving circuit and the second pixel driving circuit may share a scan line, that is, the driving unit inputs driving signals to the first pixel driving circuit and the second pixel driving circuit through the same scan line, inputs a first data signal to the first pixel driving circuit through the first data line, and inputs a second data signal to the second pixel driving circuit through the second data line.
It should be noted that the first pixel driving circuit and the second pixel driving circuit are only examples, and other pixel driving circuits may be used on the substrate provided in the embodiment of the present invention, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 7, which is a schematic cross-sectional view of the display panel shown in fig. 1 along the direction AA', the display panel further includes a planarization layer 5, and the organic light emitting display unit 3 includes an anode 31, a light emitting functional layer 32, and a cathode 33 sequentially disposed along a surface of the planarization layer 5 away from the substrate base plate 1. A reflective layer (not shown) may be further disposed between the planarization layer 5 and the anode 31, and the reflective layer can reflect light entering the display panel from the light-emitting layer 32 by adopting the structural design, so that the display brightness is relatively uniform. In the present embodiment, the specific type of the reflective layer is not limited, and may be, for example, a silver reflective layer. The display panel further includes a pixel defining layer 6 disposed between the anode 31 and the cathode 33, wherein the pixel defining layer 6 is used to prevent color mixing of the organic light emitting display unit 3, protect the edge of the anode 31, prevent the organic light emitting display unit 3 from being abnormal due to unevenness of the edge of the anode 31, and the like. With reference to fig. 7, the micro led display unit 4 includes a bottom electrode 41, a micro led 42, and a top electrode 43 sequentially disposed along a direction away from the substrate 1, and in this embodiment, the anode 31 of the organic light emitting display unit 3 and the top electrode 43 of the micro led display unit 4 can be fabricated in the same layer, so as to reduce the fabrication steps and the fabrication cost of the display panel. In the present embodiment, the bottom electrode 41 includes a transparent oxide electrode, such as indium tin oxide ITO or indium zinc oxide IZO.
With continued reference to fig. 7, the organic light-emitting display unit 3 includes an anode 31, a light-emitting functional layer 32, and a cathode 33, as well as a hole transport layer (not shown in the figure) and an electron transport layer (not shown in the figure). A hole transport layer and an electron transport layer are located between the anode 31 and the cathode 33, and a light emitting functional layer 32 is disposed between the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer. The organic light emitting display unit 3 emits light in a principle that when a voltage is applied to the anode 31 and the cathode 33, holes from the anode 31 and electrons from the cathode 33 are transported to the light emitting function layer 32 to form excitons. The excitons transition from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light, and the light emitting functional layer 33 emits light.
As shown in fig. 8, which is an enlarged schematic view of a part a of fig. 7, the micro light emitting diode display unit 4 includes a bottom electrode 41, a micro light emitting diode 42 and a top electrode 43, and the micro light emitting diode 42 includes a first electrode 421, a first semiconductor layer 422, a light emitting layer 423, a second semiconductor layer 424 and a second electrode 425. Referring to fig. 6 in combination, the first electrode 421 is electrically connected to the second thin film transistor T2 of the second pixel driving circuit 52 through the bottom electrode 41. After the second pixel driving circuit 52 provides the micro led display unit 4 with the operating voltage, the second electrode 424 of the micro led display unit 4 generates electrons, the first electrode 421 generates holes, the holes and the electrons move to the middle light emitting layer 423 under the action of the electric field between the second electrode 424 and the first electrode 421, and when the holes and the electrons meet in the light emitting layer 423, energy is released, so that the light emitting layer 423 emits light.
Alternatively, with reference to fig. 5 and 7, the first Thin film transistor T1 included in the first pixel driving circuit 51 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a low temperature polysilicon Thin film transistor (LTPS TFT), and the anode 31 included in the organic light emitting display unit 3 is electrically connected to the drain D1 of the first Thin film transistor T1. Because the organic light-emitting display unit has low light-emitting efficiency, a larger current is needed for driving, and therefore the driving thin film transistor needs to output a larger current, the mobility requirement is high, and the mobility of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor is very high, so that the organic light-emitting display unit is suitable for the requirement of the organic light-emitting display unit on larger current driving. The low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor is preferably a P-type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor, and the problems of uneven display brightness and residual images can be effectively avoided.
Optionally, with reference to fig. 6 and fig. 7, the second thin film transistor T2 of the second pixel driving circuit 52 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is an oxide thin film transistor, and the bottom electrode 41 of the micro light emitting diode display unit 4 is connected to the drain D2 of the second thin film transistor T2. As shown in fig. 9, a voltage-current graph of the low temperature polysilicon thin film transistor and the oxide thin film transistor, a current-voltage graph B1 of the low temperature polysilicon thin film transistor is steeper than a voltage-current graph B2 of the oxide thin film transistor, and thus, the same current change (I1 → I2) is larger than a voltage change Δ V2 of the oxide thin film transistor than a voltage change Δ V1 of the low temperature polysilicon thin film transistor. Therefore, when the oxide thin film transistor is used as a driving thin film transistor of the micro light emitting diode display unit in low gray scale display, the requirement on the output precision of the driving unit is reduced, and the gray scale can be controlled more accurately. Among them, the oxide thin film transistor is preferably an n-type oxide thin film transistor
As shown in fig. 10, a method for manufacturing a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to fig. 7, includes:
step 101, sequentially forming a bottom electrode 41 and a micro light-emitting diode 42 of a micro light-emitting diode display unit 4 on a substrate 1, as shown in fig. 10 (a);
