The technical solutions provided by the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 2, the display panel provided in the present embodiment includes a light emitting component 100, a cover plate 200 located above the light emitting component 100, a polarizer 300 located between the light emitting component 100 and the cover plate 200, a light shielding layer 400 formed at an edge of the cover plate 200, and an adhesion layer 500 located between the polarizer 300 and the cover plate 200.
The light emitting part 100 includes a first substrate (not shown) and a second substrate (not shown) disposed opposite to each other with a light emitting pixel layer (not shown) formed therebetween. The first and second substrates are typically transparent glass materials or plastic materials. The light-emitting pixel layer is formed between the first substrate and the second substrate and comprises a plurality of light-emitting units formed by sub-pixel units of different colors, and the light-emitting units are used for realizing color display. The light emitting component of the present embodiment is an organic light emitting component, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
The cover plate 200 is located at a side of the light emitting part 100 facing the display image, and is a window of the display panel. An external observer (e.g., a person) observes the displayed image of the display panel through the cover plate 200. The light emitting part 200 covers the light emitting part 100, and protects the light emitting part 100 from external damage.
The polarizer 300 is located between the light emitting part 100 and the cover plate 200, and is fixed to both the light emitting part 100 and the cover plate 200 by adhesion. The polarizer 300 prevents ambient light from outside and entering the display panel through the cover plate 200 or elsewhere from being reflected out to be perceived by an external observer, improving display visibility.
The light shielding layer 400 is formed at the edge of the cover plate 200. The light shielding layer 400 has a light blocking function, so that external ambient light is prevented from entering the display panel, and the incident amount of the ambient light is reduced; on the other hand, light that has entered the display panel and is reflected is absorbed, thereby preventing edge light leakage. The drain-proof region 510 covers at least a portion of the light-shielding layer 400, and the light-shielding layer 400 and the orthographic projection of the polarizer 300 on the light-emitting component 200 have an overlapping region, so that the light-shielding layer can better prevent edge light leakage. Meanwhile, since black has a good light absorption effect, the surface color of the light shielding layer is preferably black, but the invention is not limited thereto, and the surface of the light shielding layer with a good light absorption effect of other colors can be applied to the display panel of the invention. The light-shielding layer 400 can be made of a black matrix material, and the light-shielding layer 400 also has the function of shielding the internal structure of the edge of the display panel, so that the display panel looks neat and beautiful.
The adhesive layer 500 is used to adhere the polarizer 300 and the cover plate 200, which is an adhesive material having high transmittance. The material of the adhesion layer 500 in this embodiment is OCA optical cement doped with a photoinitiator. Of course, other embodiments of the adhesion layer 500 may be other materials, and are not limited herein. The form of the adhesive layer 500 is not limited to the solid adhesive tape, and it may be liquid glue, which is not limited herein. Referring to fig. 3, the adhesion layer 500 includes a leakage preventing region 510 under the light shielding layer 400 and an adhesion region 520 surrounded by the leakage preventing region 510. In this embodiment, the inner edge of the anti-drain region 510 is more inward than the inner edge of the light-shielding layer 400, and the anti-drain region 510 is partially aligned with the light-shielding layer 400, although the invention is not limited thereto, and the anti-drain region 510 is located below the light-shielding layer 400, and may be partially aligned with the light-shielding layer 400, or may be completely aligned with the light-shielding layer 400. The anti-drain region 510 is formed by uv light treatment, and the bonding region 520 is a portion which is not subjected to the uv light treatment, and the detailed process is described in the following method for manufacturing the display panel. Since the ultraviolet irradiation treatment is performed, the refractive index of the leakage preventing region 510 is higher than that of the bonding region 520. Referring to fig. 4, the refractive index of the leakage preventing region 510 is increased to be greater than a certain threshold value, so that the exit route of the stray light (stray light, i.e., abnormal light emitting light, such as light reflected by external ambient light entering into the display panel) at the inner edge of the display panel is changed. Since the refractive index of the leakage-preventing region 510 is increased, the light emitted to the leakage-preventing region 510 is refracted to the light-shielding layer 400, and the light-shielding layer 400 has a light-absorbing effect, so that the edge light leakage phenomenon is effectively prevented in the present embodiment.
In the embodiment, the refractive index of the adhesion layer 500 (mainly the leakage-proof area 510 at the edge of the adhesion layer 500) is adjusted, so that the refractive index of the leakage-proof area 510 is greater than a certain threshold value, and the light emitted to the leakage-proof area 510 is refracted to the light-shielding layer 400, thereby effectively preventing the light leakage phenomenon at the edge of the display panel. Of course, the structure of the light-shielding layer 400 in other embodiments of the present invention may also be different from that in the present embodiment. For example, the adhesion layer 500 of the embodiment includes a leakage-proof region 510 under the light-shielding layer 400 and an adhesion region 520 surrounded by the leakage-proof region 510, and the adhesion region 520 and the leakage-proof region 510 cooperatively cover the entire cover plate 200 to achieve a large adhesion area between the polarizer 300 and the cover plate 200, thereby increasing the adhesion firmness, but the invention is not limited thereto, as long as the adhesion of the leakage-proof region 510 is sufficient, and the light-shielding layer 400 of other embodiments may include only the leakage-proof region 510, or in order to increase the adhesion, other embodiments may include the leakage-proof region 510 and the adhesion region 520, but the adhesion region 520 may not be continuous as in the embodiment, and may be discontinuous segments.
In addition, the refractive index of the edge leakage-proof area 510 is increased in this embodiment, but the adhesion area 520 is not treated with uv light in order to maintain the adhesion of the adhesion area 520 to make the polarizer 300 and the cover plate 200 adhere together firmly, but in other embodiments, the adhesion area 520 and the adhesion area 510 may be irradiated with uv light at the same time, and the refractive index is increased, i.e., the refractive index of the adhesion layer 500 is increased uniformly, or even the material itself selected for the adhesion layer 500 has a refractive index greater than a certain threshold, or the adhesion layer 500 may not be treated. In the present embodiment, the refractive index of the leakage prevention region 510 is increased over the entire thickness in the thickness direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the refractive index of the leakage prevention region 510 may be increased over only a portion of the thickness in the thickness direction. Moreover, the adhesion layer 500 of the present embodiment has only one layer, but the adhesion layer 500 of other embodiments may further include n layered layers sequentially stacked, the leakage preventing region 510 is formed in at least one layered layer, n is an integer greater than 1, the n layered layers may be the same or different, and the adhesion layer 500 may be provided in multiple layers to optimize the adhesion of the adhesion layer 500 while preventing edge light leakage by increasing the refractive index of the leakage preventing region 510. In the embodiment of the invention, as long as the refractive index of the anti-leakage region 510 is greater than a certain threshold value, the light emitted to the anti-leakage region 510 is refracted to the light shielding layer 400, and the light leakage phenomenon at the edge of the display panel can be effectively prevented.
As shown in fig. 5, the method for manufacturing a display panel of the present embodiment includes:
step 1, providing a cover plate 200, and forming a light shielding layer 400 on the edge of the cover plate 200, as shown in fig. 6.
Step 2, forming an adhesion layer 500, and processing the adhesion layer 500 to form a leakage-proof region 510, wherein the refractive index of the leakage-proof region 510 is greater than a certain threshold, as shown in fig. 7.
The method specifically comprises the following steps:
the adhesion layer 500 is formed by doping a photoinitiator into the OCA optical paste.
After the photoinitiator is introduced, the refractive index of the OCA optical cement can be improved when the photoinitiator is irradiated by ultraviolet light.
The adhesive layer 500 is applied to the cover plate 200 covering the entire cover plate 200.
The adhesive layer 500 covers the entire area of the cover plate 200 and may be more securely adhered to the cover plate 200.
As shown in fig. 8, the central region of the OCA optical paste is masked by a mask (M), and then ultraviolet light (UV) is applied to the edge region that is not masked by the mask, thereby forming an anti-drain region 510.
The leakage-proof region is located at the edge region of the adhesive layer 500, and the central region of the adhesive layer 500 covered by the mask is the adhesive region 520.
The present embodiment forms the leakage preventing region 510 having a refractive index greater than a certain threshold by this method. Of course, other embodiments may be formed in other ways, and are not limited thereto.
Step 3, providing a light emitting component 100, and forming a polarizer 300 above the light emitting component 100, as shown in fig. 9.
Step 4, adhering the polarizer 300 to the cover plate 200 through the adhesive layer 500 such that the leakage preventing regions 510 of the adhesive layer 500 are located under the light shielding layer 400, to refract the light emitted to the leakage preventing regions 510 to the light shielding layer 400, as shown in fig. 10.
It should be noted that the above sequence of step 1 to step 4 is not unique, and in the specific manufacturing process of other embodiments of the present invention, each step can be flexibly exchanged according to actual situations. This embodiment attaches the adhesive layer 500 to the cover sheet 200 during step 2, and then attaches the polarizer 300 to the cover sheet 200 via the adhesive layer 500 during step 4. Other embodiments may attach the adhesive layer 500 to the polarizer 300 and then adhere the cover plate 200 to the polarizer 300 through the adhesive layer 500.
In summary, in the display panel manufactured by the method for manufacturing a display panel of the present embodiment, the refractive index of the leakage-proof area 510 is greater than a certain threshold value, so as to refract the light emitted to the leakage-proof area 510 to the light-shielding layer 400, thereby effectively preventing the light leakage phenomenon at the edge of the display panel.
