Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages 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 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 embodiments described below and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
In order to solve the technical problem of poor packaging effect of the packaging layer of the display panel in the prior art, an embodiment of the invention provides a display panel, which includes a substrate and a packaging layer. The substrate defines a display area and a non-display area arranged around the display area. The packaging layer covers the substrate. Wherein, a restoration body is embedded in the packaging layer or between the packaging layer and the substrate in the non-display area. As described in detail below.
In a conventional display panel, the display panel is limited by the current packaging performance of the packaging layer of the display panel, and meanwhile, in order to ensure that the packaging layer of the display panel has sufficient packaging performance and packaging effect, so as to avoid the problem that the laser cutting process of the display panel causes defects (including water oxygen, cracks, and the like, specifically, the laser cutting process causes the packaging layer to generate cracks, and the external water oxygen enters the packaging layer along the cracks) to invade into the packaging layer to induce the peeling (peeling) of the packaging layer so as to cause packaging failure, it is necessary that the packaging layer in the non-display area of the display panel has sufficient width, which leads to the fact that the width of the packaging layer in the non-display area of the conventional display panel is large, and limits the design of the part of the display panel in the non-display area to be smaller in width, which is not beneficial to the narrow frame design of the display panel.
In view of the above, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel to solve the above technical problems in the prior art.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the invention.
In one embodiment, the display panel includes a substrate 1. The substrate 1 defines a display region 11 and a non-display region 12 surrounding the display region 11. The display area 11 is an area where the display panel emits light, and the non-display area 12 is disposed around the display area 11, and the non-display area 12 does not emit light. It will be appreciated that the display region 11 and the non-display region 12 are located on the same side of the substrate 1.
The display panel further comprises an encapsulation layer 3. The encapsulation layer 3 is disposed to cover the substrate 1. Preferably, the encapsulation layer 3 covers a side of the substrate 1 defined with the display region 11 and the non-display region 12. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the encapsulation layer 3 may also cover other surfaces of the substrate 1 except for the side surface where the display area 11 and the non-display area 12 are defined, and is not limited herein.
The substrate 1 of the present embodiment is defined as a functional film set of the display panel below the sealing layer 3, and includes, for example, a substrate (if the display panel is a flexible display panel, the substrate is a flexible substrate, such as a PI (Polyimide) substrate), a buffer layer, an interlayer dielectric layer, a light-emitting layer, and a transistor array portion of the display panel.
In this embodiment, defects (including water, oxygen, cracks, etc.) caused by the laser cutting process of the display panel may propagate between the respective film layers in the sealing layer 3 or between the sealing layer 3 and the substrate 1, and may enter the sealing layer 3. The defects spread and invade the packaging layer 3, which causes peeling phenomena between the film layers of the packaging layer 3 or peeling between the packaging layer 3 and the substrate 1, and leads to packaging failure of the packaging layer 3.
In view of this, in the present embodiment, the functional body 4 is embedded in the encapsulation layer 3 or between the encapsulation layer 3 and the substrate 1 in the non-display region 12, and the functional body 4 is used to enhance the encapsulation function required by the encapsulation layer 3. In the process that the defect invades into the packaging layer 3, the defect can meet the functional body 4 embedded between the packaging layer 3 or the substrate 1 in the non-display area 12, and the functional body 4 can prevent the defect from continuously invading into the packaging layer 3, so that the stripping degree of the packaging layer 3 caused by the invasion of the defect is reduced, the packaging effect of the packaging layer 3 of the display panel is improved, and the part of the display panel in the non-display area 12 is designed to have smaller width, so that the narrow frame design of the display panel is facilitated.
It should be noted that the functional body 4 may include a repair body, and the repair body has a repair function, and can repair the defect in the encapsulation layer 3, so as to prevent the defect from continuously spreading and invading into the encapsulation layer 3; the functional body 4 can also comprise a water-oxygen barrier body which can block water and oxygen so as to prevent water and oxygen invading along the crack from continuously propagating and invading into the packaging layer 3; of course, the functional body 4 may also include a light absorber, and the light absorber can absorb laser in an ultraviolet band or an infrared band, that is, the light absorber can absorb laser used in the cutting process of the display panel, so as to absorb a portion of the laser used in the cutting, which is radiated to the encapsulation layer 3, and prevent the laser from damaging the structure of the encapsulation layer, which causes defects such as water, oxygen, and the like to spread and invade into the encapsulation layer 3. It is understood that the functional body 4 may include at least one of a prosthesis, a water oxygen barrier, and a light absorber.
Specifically, when the functional body 4 is a prosthesis, the material of the prosthesis is preferably at least one of a light-responsive self-repairing material, a force-responsive self-repairing material, and a thermal-responsive self-repairing material. Since laser energy and heat are transferred to the display panel during the process of cutting the display panel, the laser energy and heat may cause the encapsulation layer 3 to generate defects in the form of cracks and propagate in the encapsulation layer 3, thereby causing defects such as water and oxygen to intrude into the encapsulation layer 3 through the defects in the form of cracks. The laser energy can induce the photoresponse type self-repairing material to repair the defects in the packaging layer 3, the heat can induce the thermoresponse type self-repairing material to repair the defects in the packaging layer 3, and the tearing of the film layer of the packaging layer 3 (namely the defects in the form of cracks) can also induce the force response type self-repairing material to repair the defects. The defect is repaired, so that the defect can be prevented from continuously invading into the packaging layer 3, and the stripping degree of the packaging layer 3 caused by the invasion of the defect is reduced, which means that the packaging effect of the packaging layer 3 of the display panel is improved, and the part of the display panel in the non-display area 12 is allowed to be designed to have smaller width, so that the narrow frame design of the display panel is facilitated.
The photo-responsive self-repairing material, the force-responsive self-repairing material, and the thermal-responsive self-repairing material of this embodiment may specifically be a polyurethane precursor, a microcapsule Polymer, hydrogen-bonded polyether thiourea, or a Shape Memory Polymer (SMP, such as SMP epoxy resin). The precursors of the photo-responsive self-repairing material, the force-responsive self-repairing material, and the thermal-responsive self-repairing material of the present embodiment are preferably photo-curing self-repairing polyurethane based on a Diels-Alder (Diels-Alder) structure or microcapsule polymers (for example, capsules in which cyclopentadiene dimer and Grubbs (Grubbs) catalyst are dispersed and compounded). And a proper self-repairing material can be selected as the functional body 4 by combining different product requirements and cutting processes.
When the functional body 4 is selected from a water-oxygen barrier, the water-oxygen barrier is preferably made of SiNxOyOr porous montmorillonite, and the like. High nitrogen to oxygen ratio SiNxOyCan play the effect that improves packaging layer 3's encapsulation intensity to prevent defects such as crackle in packaging layer 3 further to packaging layer 3 internal propagation, just also can prevent to further to packaging layer 3 internal propagation along defects such as the water oxygen of crackle intrusion packaging layer 3, play the effect of separation water oxygen. The porous montmorillonite can absorb water and oxygen, so that defects such as water and oxygen are prevented from further spreading to the inside of the packaging layer 3, and the function of blocking water and oxygen is also achieved.
When the functional body 4 is a light absorber, the light absorber is preferably a micro-nano structure or a nano material having a function of absorbing ultraviolet light or infrared light, such as at least one of metal oxide, metal titanium, and graphene-based material. The functional body 4 can effectively absorb the energy of the laser used for cutting the display panel, and prevent the laser energy from further invading the display panel to destroy the internal structure of the display panel (including the encapsulation layer 3, etc.).
As can be seen from the above, in the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the functional body is embedded in the encapsulation layer or between the encapsulation layer and the substrate in the non-display region. Therefore, in the process that the defects intrude into the encapsulation layer due to the laser cutting process of the display panel, the defects can encounter the embedded functional body, and the functional body is used for enhancing the encapsulation function required by the encapsulation layer so as to prevent the defects from continuously intruding into the encapsulation layer, thereby reducing the stripping degree of the encapsulation layer caused by the intrusion of the defects, namely improving the encapsulation effect of the encapsulation layer of the display panel, and further allowing the part of the display panel in the non-display area to be designed with smaller width so as to be beneficial to the narrow frame design of the display panel.
Please continue to refer to fig. 1. In one embodiment, the encapsulation layer 3 includes a first inorganic layer 31 and a second inorganic layer 32 sequentially stacked in a direction away from the substrate 1. The first inorganic layer 31 is provided covering the substrate 1. An organic layer may be further included between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 in the display region 11 to constitute the encapsulation layer 3, while an organic layer is not included between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 in the non-display region 12, and generally, both the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 in the non-display region 12 are in direct contact. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the encapsulation layer 3 may further include more inorganic layers and organic layers to form an encapsulation structure in which the inorganic layers and the organic layers are alternately stacked. The first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 in this embodiment are provided to enable the encapsulating layer 3 to have sufficient encapsulating performance while thinning the encapsulating layer 3 to the maximum.
Further, a groove 5 is provided between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32, or between the first inorganic layer 31 and the substrate 1 in the non-display region 12, and the functional body 4 is filled in the groove 5. The groove 5 is located between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32, or between the first inorganic layer 31 and the substrate 1 in the non-display region 12. The functional body 4 filled in the groove 5 can prevent the defect between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 or between the first inorganic layer 31 and the substrate 1 in the non-display region 12 from further penetrating into the encapsulating layer 3, and can reduce the degree of film peeling between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 or between the first inorganic layer 31 and the substrate 1 in the non-display region 12.
In one embodiment, a groove 5 is disposed between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32, and the functional body 4 is filled in the groove 5. The grooves 5 are located on the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 close to the second inorganic layer 32, as shown in fig. 2; or the grooves 5 are located on the surface of the second inorganic layer 32 near the first inorganic layer 31, as shown in fig. 3; or a portion of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 near the second inorganic layer 32 and the remaining portion of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the second inorganic layer 32 near the first inorganic layer 31, as shown in fig. 4.
In this way, the functional body 4 is embedded between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32, and defects between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 can encounter the functional body 4 embedded between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 in the process of penetrating into the encapsulation layer 3, so that the functional body 4 can prevent the defects from continuously penetrating into the encapsulation layer 3, thereby reducing the degree of peeling between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 due to the penetration of the defects, and improving the encapsulation effect of the encapsulation layer 3.
Of course, the situation that the part of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 close to the second inorganic layer 32 and the rest of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the second inorganic layer 32 close to the first inorganic layer 31 can also be understood as that the functional body 4 on the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 is over-filled and overflows. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 5 is not limited to a regular pattern or an irregular pattern such as a rectangle or a trapezoid, and is not limited thereto. The same applies in the following examples.
In an embodiment, the recess 5 occupies a film layer space of the first inorganic layer 31 and/or the second inorganic layer 32 portion to form a space for filling the functional body 4. That is, the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 are used to form a partial void of the groove 5, thereby forming a space for filling the functional body 4. For example, a portion of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 close to the second inorganic layer 32, and the remaining portion of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the second inorganic layer 32 close to the first inorganic layer 31, that is, a portion of the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 and the surface of the second inorganic layer 32 close to each other for forming the groove 5 is vacant, so as to form the groove 5 to fill the functional body 4, as shown in fig. 4.
In this way, the functional body 4 can prevent the defect between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 from continuously penetrating into the encapsulation layer 3. The functional body 4 filled in the groove 5 formed in the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 can also prevent the defects inside the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 from continuously invading into the encapsulation layer 3, so as to further improve the encapsulation effect of the encapsulation layer 3.
In the alternative embodiment, the difference from the above-described embodiment is that the groove 5 does not occupy the film layer space of the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 to form a space for filling the functional body 4. Instead, the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 are used to form a portion of the entire recess of the groove 5, thereby forming the groove 5 to fill the functional body 4, and the groove 5 is not formed through the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32. For example, a portion of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 close to the second inorganic layer 32, and the remaining portion of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the second inorganic layer 32 close to the first inorganic layer 31, that is, a portion of the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 and the surface of the second inorganic layer 32 close to each other for forming the groove 5 is recessed integrally, so as to form the groove 5 for filling the functional body 4, and the groove 5 is not disposed through the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32, as shown in fig. 5.
In this way, the functional body 4 embedded between the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 can prevent the defect from continuously invading into the encapsulation layer 3, so as to improve the encapsulation effect of the encapsulation layer 3. And the groove 5 is formed by integrally recessing the part of the first inorganic layer 31 and/or the second inorganic layer 32 for forming the groove 5, so that the effective encapsulation length of the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 at the position of the groove 5 is increased, the path of the defect invading along the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 is prolonged, and the encapsulation effect of the encapsulation layer 3 can be further improved.
Further, in the case where the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 are used to form a portion of the groove 5 to be entirely recessed, and then the groove 5 is formed to fill the functional body 4, and the groove 5 is not disposed in the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32, the cross-sectional shape of the groove 5 is preferably a regular trapezoid or the like, that is, the area of the notch is smaller than the area of the groove bottom, so as to further increase the effective package length of the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32 and to extend the path of the defect along the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32, as shown in fig. 5.
Please continue to refer to fig. 1. In an embodiment, the display panel further comprises a dam 2, the dam 2 being located within the non-display area 12 of the substrate 1. The dam 2 is used to assist in completing the preparation of the encapsulation layer 3, for example, as a barrier structure for the organic layer in the encapsulation layer 3, preventing the organic material used to prepare the organic layer from overflowing, and the like. The first inorganic layer 31 is disposed so as to cover the bank 2, and a groove 5 is provided between the first inorganic layer 31 and the bank 2, and the functional body 4 is filled in the groove 5.
Specifically, the groove 5 is located on the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 near the bank 2, as shown in fig. 6; or the groove 5 is located on the surface of the dam 2 near the first inorganic layer 31, as shown in fig. 7; or a part of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 near the bank 2 and the remaining part of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the bank 2 near the first inorganic layer 31, as shown in fig. 8.
In this way, by embedding the functional body 4 between the first inorganic layer 31 and the dam 2, defects between the first inorganic layer 31 and the dam 2 can be caught by the functional body 4 embedded between the first inorganic layer 31 and the dam 2 in the process of penetrating into the package layer 3, and the functional body 4 can prevent the defects from continuously penetrating into the package layer 3, thereby reducing the degree of peeling between the first inorganic layer 31 and the dam 2 due to the penetration of the defects, and improving the package effect of the package layer 3.
It is understood that the first inorganic layer 31 may be as described in the above embodiments, and the groove 5 occupies the film layer space of the first inorganic layer 31 part to form a space for filling the functional body 4; or the first inorganic layer 31 is used to form a portion of the recess 5 to be recessed, so as to form the recess 5 to fill the functional body 4, and the recess 5 is not disposed through the first inorganic layer 31, which will not be described herein again. The grooves 5 formed on the dike 2 occupy the space of the dike 2, and the grooves 5 appear to be perforated in the dike 2.
Please continue to refer to fig. 1. In one embodiment, a portion of the encapsulation layer 3 located in the non-display region 12 defines a first edge protection region 33. Specifically, the first edge protection region 33 is distant from the display region 11 with respect to the bank 2. The first edge protection region 33 is used to extend the packaging distance from the display region 11 to the display panel cutting line 6, so that defects generated in the packaging layer 3 due to the cutting need to take a long path to reach the display region 11, thereby protecting the display region 11. The first inorganic layer 31 in the first edge protection region 33 is directly disposed on the substrate 1, and the groove 5 is disposed between the first inorganic layer 31 in the first edge protection region 33 and the substrate 1 and filled with the functional body 4.
Specifically, in the first edge protection region 33, the groove 5 is located on the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 close to the substrate 1, as shown in fig. 9; or the groove 5 is located on the surface of the substrate 1 near the first inorganic layer 31, as shown in fig. 10; or a portion of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the first inorganic layer 31 near the substrate 1 and the remaining portion of the groove 5 is located on the surface of the substrate 1 near the first inorganic layer 31, as shown in fig. 11.
In this way, the functional body 4 is embedded between the first inorganic layer 31 and the substrate 1 in the first edge protection region 33, and the defect between the first inorganic layer 31 and the substrate 1 in the first edge protection region 33 encounters the functional body 4 embedded between the first inorganic layer 31 and the substrate 1 in the process of penetrating into the interior of the encapsulation layer 3, so that the functional body 4 can prevent the defect from continuously penetrating into the encapsulation layer 3, thereby reducing the peeling degree between the first inorganic layer 31 and the substrate 1 in the first edge protection region 33 due to the penetration of the defect, and improving the encapsulation effect of the encapsulation layer 3.
It is understood that the first inorganic layer 31 may be as described in the above embodiments, and the groove 5 occupies the film layer space of the first inorganic layer 31 part to form a space for filling the functional body 4; or the first inorganic layer 31 is used to form a portion of the recess 5 to be recessed, so as to form the recess 5 to fill the functional body 4, and the recess 5 is not disposed through the first inorganic layer 31, which will not be described herein again. The grooves 5 formed on the substrate 1 occupy the space of the substrate 1, and the grooves 5 are formed through the substrate 1.
Please continue to refer to fig. 1. In one embodiment, the portion of the encapsulation layer 3 located in the non-display area 12 further defines a second edge protection area 34. Specifically, the second edge protection region 34 is distant from the display region 11 with respect to the bank 2, and the second edge protection region 34 is also distant from the display region 11 with respect to the first edge protection region 33. The second edge protection region 34 is next to the cutting line 6 of the display panel, and the second edge protection region 34 is a cutting reserved region in the display panel.
The encapsulation layer 3 in the second edge protection zone 34 comprises at least two mutually spaced encapsulation blocks 341, the encapsulation blocks 341 being in direct contact with the substrate 1. The mutually spaced encapsulation blocks 341 can effectively prevent the defects generated by cutting the display panel from invading the display panel along the encapsulation layer 3, so as to achieve the protection effect. A groove 5 is formed between the adjacent package blocks 341 for filling the functional body 4. When the defect generated by cutting the display panel intrudes into the packaging layer 3 of the second edge protection region 34, the groove 5 and the functional body 4 therein are encountered, so that the defect can be prevented from further intruding into the packaging layer 3.
Of course, the substrate 1 between the adjacent package blocks 341 may be correspondingly recessed to participate in forming the groove 5, which is not limited herein.
Further, the area of the end of the encapsulation block 341 close to the substrate 1 is smaller than the area of the end thereof far from the substrate 1, so that the groove bottom area of the groove 5 is larger than the notch area thereof, i.e. the cross-sectional shape of the groove 5 is preferably regular trapezoid, and the groove 5 is filled with the functional body 4, and the functional body 4 may be a thermal response type self-repairing material or the like. The mutually spaced package blocks 341 are formed by breaking the package layer 3, and the groove 5 with a regular trapezoidal cross section has a good effect of breaking the package layer 3; and the cutting display panel causes the packaging block 341 to be heated to generate a defect, and the thermal response type self-repairing material is heated to melt to repair the defect, so that the defect is prevented from continuously invading the packaging layer 3 along the defect invasion path, and the packaging effect of the packaging layer 3 is improved.
In the non-display region 12, one or more grooves 5 may be disposed in the encapsulation layer 3 or between the encapsulation layer 3 and the substrate 1, and the depth of the groove 5 is preferably 1 to 3 μm, for example, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, and the like, which is not limited herein.
Based on the above, the groove 5 is preferably disposed through the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32, and the functional body 4 is filled in the groove 5. The grooves 5 are provided on the dikes, between adjacent dikes, in the first edge protection zone 33 and in the second edge protection zone 34, as shown in fig. 1. In this way, defects in the first inorganic layer 31 and the second inorganic layer 32, between the first inorganic layer 31 and the substrate 1, and between the first inorganic layer 31 and the dam 2 may encounter the functional body 4 in the process of penetrating into the sealing layer 3, and the functional body 4 can prevent the defects from continuously penetrating into the sealing layer 3, thereby reducing the degree of peeling of the sealing layer 3 due to penetration of the defects, and further improving the sealing effect of the sealing layer 3.
In summary, in the display panel provided in the embodiments of the invention, the functional body is embedded in the encapsulation layer or between the encapsulation layer and the substrate in the non-display area. Therefore, in the process that the defects intrude into the encapsulation layer due to the laser cutting process of the display panel, the defects can encounter the embedded functional body, and the functional body is used for enhancing the encapsulation function required by the encapsulation layer so as to prevent the defects from continuously intruding into the encapsulation layer, thereby reducing the stripping degree of the encapsulation layer caused by the intrusion of the defects, namely improving the encapsulation effect of the encapsulation layer of the display panel, and further allowing the part of the display panel in the non-display area to be designed with smaller width so as to be beneficial to the narrow frame design of the display panel.
