Detailed Description
To facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
As background art, in conventional electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers, since front-facing cameras, earphones, infrared sensing elements, and the like need to be integrated, a slot (Notch) is formed in a display screen, and the cameras, the earphones, the infrared sensing elements, and the like are disposed in the slot area. However, the slotted region is not used for displaying pictures, such as a bang screen in the prior art, or a hole is formed in the screen, and for an electronic device implementing a camera function, external light can enter the photosensitive element located below the screen through the hole in the screen. However, these electronic devices are not all full-screen in the true sense, and cannot display in each area of the whole screen, for example, the camera area cannot display the picture.
In view of the above problems, the technical staff have developed a display screen, which realizes the full-screen display of the electronic device by setting a transparent display panel in a slotted area. The OLED may be classified into a PMOLED (Passive Matrix OLED) and an AMOLED (Active Matrix OLED) according to a driving method. Taking the PMOLED as an example, the electrodes of the same nature of the display units in the same row of the PMOLED display array are shared, and the electrodes of the same nature of the display units in the same column are also shared.
In general, the PMOLED display panel requires a photolithography process to form a spacer between two adjacent rows or two columns to prevent a short circuit between cathodes of the two adjacent rows or two columns. The inventor researches and discovers that in the process of forming the cathode layer by sputtering, the cathode layer can be formed on the side wall of the isolation column due to the fact that the moving direction of metal atoms is not fixed, the formed cathode layer and the side wall of the isolation column are good in adhesion and not prone to falling off, therefore, the cathode layer on the isolation column and the cathode layer on the light emitting layer are connected into a whole, and then adjacent row or column cathodes are short-circuited, the blocking difficulty of the cathodes is large, and the full-screen normal display is not facilitated.
To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a display panel, which can preferably solve the above problems.
Fig. 1 is a schematic top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention. With reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the display panel includes a substrate 1, a plurality of first electrodes 2 formed on the substrate 1, and a plurality of pillars 3 located on a side of the first electrodes 2 away from the substrate 1, the display panel includes a plurality of pixel regions a1 and a plurality of partition regions a2, a light emitting function layer 4 is disposed in an opening of the pixel region a1, the partition region a2 is provided with a plurality of pillars 3 and at least one partition groove 5, the partition groove 5 is used for partitioning a second electrode 6 between two adjacent pixel regions a1, an extending direction of the first electrode 2 intersects an extending direction of the second electrode 6, where the extending direction of the first electrode 2 and the extending direction of the second electrode 6 are exemplarily set to be perpendicular to each other.
Specifically, with reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the isolation groove 5 between the isolation pillars 3 isolates the second electrode 6 between two adjacent pixel regions a1, so as to avoid short circuit of the second electrode 6 between two adjacent rows or two columns, and the extending direction of the first electrode 2 intersects with the extending direction of the second electrode 6, for example, the extending direction of the first electrode 2 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the second electrode 6, the first electrode 2 may be set as an anode and the second electrode 6 as a cathode, or the first electrode 2 may be set as a cathode and the second electrode 6 as an anode, the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 6 form a matrix array, and pixels in the matrix array in a scanning manner are operated in a short pulse mode, so that each pixel is instantly highlighted, and a PMOLED display panel is implemented, which is beneficial to implement a full-screen.
Specifically, with reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the isolation groove 5 between the isolation pillars 3 is used to separate the second electrode 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1, compared with the case that the isolation groove 5 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 is directly used to separate the second electrode 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1, the surface flatness of the isolation pillars 3 and the isolation grooves 5 alternately arranged in the isolation regions a2 is improved before the light-emitting functional layer 4 is manufactured by screening, and thus the flatness of the surface of the display panel when the light-emitting functional layer 4 is manufactured by screening is improved, the problem that particles are easily generated due to friction between the mask and the isolation pillars 3 is solved, and the isolation pillars 3 can be used as a support layer (SPC) for supporting the mask, which is beneficial to simplifying the manufacturing process of the display panel.
The substrate may be a hard substrate, such as glass, or a flexible substrate, such as PI (polyimide), and accordingly, the encapsulation layer may be a hard material, such as glass, or a thin film encapsulation layer including an inorganic layer and an organic layer disposed at intervals.
Alternatively, with reference to fig. 1 and 2, the pixel regions a1 and the partition regions a2 may be arranged alternately along the first direction XX ', the isolation pillars 3 and the isolation trenches 5 extend along the second direction YY ', and within the partition region a2, the isolation pillars 3 and the isolation trenches 5 are arranged alternately along the first direction XX ', and the first direction XX ' intersects with the second direction YY '. Specifically, with reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the pixel regions a1 and the partition regions a2 are arranged alternately along the first direction XX ', the isolation pillars 3 and the isolation trenches 5 extend along the second direction YY ', and in the partition region a2, the isolation pillars 3 and the isolation trenches 5 are arranged alternately along the first direction XX ', so that the second electrodes 6 formed by partitioning the isolation trenches 5 extend along the second direction YY ' and are arranged along the first direction XX ', and the second electrodes 6 arranged along the first direction XX ' are insulated from each other by the isolation trenches 5 to form a PMOLED display panel with the first electrodes 2 extending along the first direction XX ', so as to implement full-screen display.
Fig. 2 exemplarily shows that only two isolation pillars 3 and one isolation trench 5 partitioned by two isolation pillars 3 are disposed in the partition region a2, or as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of isolation trenches 5 are disposed in the partition region a2, fig. 3 exemplarily shows that the partition region a2 includes three isolation pillars 3 and two isolation trenches 5 partitioned by three isolation pillars 3, and in the partition region a2, the isolation pillars 3 and the isolation trenches 5 are alternately arranged along the first direction XX ', so that all the isolation trenches 5 in one partition region a2 are used for partitioning the second electrodes 6 located between the pixel regions a1 on both sides of the partition region a2 along the first direction XX ', so as to further reduce the probability of short circuit of the second electrodes 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 along the first direction XX '.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the isolation pillars 3 include a first end adjacent to the substrate 1 and a second end far from the substrate 1, and an area of the first end of the isolation pillar 3 is smaller than an area of the second end of the isolation pillar 3 in a direction parallel to the display panel, the first end of the isolation pillar 3 adjacent to the substrate 1 may be understood as a lower surface of the isolation pillar 3 in fig. 2 and 3, and the second end of the isolation pillar 3 far from the substrate 1 may be understood as an upper surface of the isolation pillar 3 in fig. 2 and 3.
Specifically, with reference to fig. 1 to 3, in a direction parallel to the display panel, an area of a first end of the isolation pillar 3 adjacent to the substrate 1 is smaller than an area of a second end of the isolation pillar 3 away from the substrate 1, that is, an area of a lower surface of the isolation pillar 3 is smaller than an area of an upper surface of the isolation pillar 3, so that a cross section of the isolation pillar 3 forms an inverted trapezoid like that shown in fig. 2 and 3. If the area of the first end of the isolation pillar 3 close to the substrate 1 is larger than the area of the second end of the isolation pillar 3 far from the substrate 1 along the direction parallel to the display panel, and the cross section of the isolation pillar 3 is in a regular trapezoid shape, when the second electrode 6 is manufactured, the material forming the second electrode 6 climbs along the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3, that is, the second electrode material is also formed on the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3, so that the second electrode material on the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 is connected with the second electrode 6 on the light-emitting functional layer 4 into a whole, and further the second electrode 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 arranged along the first direction XX' is short-circuited, thereby affecting the normal display of the display panel. The area of the first end of the isolation column 3 close to the substrate 1 is smaller than the area of the second end of the isolation column 3 far away from the substrate 1 along the direction parallel to the display panel, so that when the second electrode 6 is formed, the material of the second electrode 6 is difficult to form in the area a in fig. 2, the separation effect of the second electrode 6 along the first direction XX 'is optimized, and the probability of short circuit of the second electrode 6 between the adjacent pixel areas a1 arranged along the first direction XX' is reduced.
Illustratively, the material for forming the isolation pillars 3 may include a negative photoresist, and the negative photoresist is used to facilitate forming the isolation pillars 3 with an area close to the first end of the substrate 1 smaller than an area far away from the second end of the substrate 1, for example, the isolation pillars 3 with the inverted trapezoid cross section are formed to improve the effect of the isolation pillars 3 on separating the second electrodes 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1, and the negative photoresist has good insulation property and is easy to shape, thereby facilitating one-time forming of the isolation pillars 3 with the inverted trapezoid cross section, and reducing the difficulty of the process for forming the isolation pillars 3 with the inverted trapezoid cross section on the display panel.
It should be noted that fig. 2 and fig. 3 only exemplarily show that the cross section of the isolation pillar 3 is in an inverted trapezoid, which is influenced by illumination uniformity, and the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 may also be in an arc shape, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific shape of the isolation pillar 3, so as to ensure that the area of the first end of the isolation pillar 3 close to the substrate 1 is smaller than the area of the second end of the isolation pillar 3 far from the substrate 1.
Preferably, with reference to fig. 1 to 3, an included angle β between the side wall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel may be set to be 75 ° or less, an included angle β between the side wall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel determines the inclination degree of the side wall of the isolation pillar 3, and the smaller the included angle β between the side wall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel is, the larger the area of the region a is, the more favorable the effect of the isolation pillar 3 on the second electrode 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 arranged along the first direction XX' is, preferably, the included angle β between the side wall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel is set to be 25 ° or more, the β between the side wall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel determines the inclination degree of the side wall of the isolation pillar 3, the too small included angle β between the side wall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel may increase the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the pillar, and the included angle β between the side wall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel is set to be equal to or more, thereby.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the isolation trench 5 includes a first end adjacent to the substrate 1 and a second end far from the substrate 1, the first end of the isolation trench 5 adjacent to the substrate 1 may be understood as a lower surface of the isolation trench 5 in fig. 2 and 3, and the second end of the isolation trench 5 far from the substrate 1 may be understood as an upper surface of the isolation trench 5 in fig. 2 and 3. In particular, referring to fig. 1 to 3, since the area of the first end of the spacers 3 adjacent to the substrate 1 is smaller than the area of the second end of the spacers 3 away from the substrate 1 in the direction parallel to the display panel, that is, the area of the lower surface of the pillars 3 is smaller than the area of the upper surface of the pillars 3, so that the cross-section of the pillars 3 forms an inverted trapezoid like that shown in fig. 2 and 3, and the pillars 3 and the isolation grooves 5 are alternately arranged in the first direction XX', so that the area of the first end of the isolation trench 5 adjacent to the substrate 1 is larger than the area of the second end of the isolation trench 5 away from the substrate 1 along the direction parallel to the display panel, i.e., the area of the adjacent lower surface of the isolation trench 5 is larger than the area of the upper surface of the isolation trench 5, so that a region a is formed between the isolation pillars 3, when the second electrode 6 is formed, it is difficult to form the second electrode 6 material in the region a, and thus the region a is used to realize the partition of the second electrode 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 arranged along the first direction XX'.
With reference to fig. 1 and 2, it may be configured that the width of the first end of the isolation trench 5 is greater than or equal to 1 micrometer, taking the cross section of the first end of the isolation trench 5, that is, the lower surface of the isolation trench 5, is a circular cross section as an example, the width of the first end of the isolation trench 5 refers to the diameter of the circular cross section, and if the cross section of the first end of the isolation trench 5 is a non-circular cross section, the width of the first end of the isolation trench 5 is a distance between two points farthest from the non-circular cross section, and the too small width of the first end of the isolation trench 5 is not favorable for reducing an included angle β between a sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 and a plane parallel to the display panel to optimize a blocking effect of the isolation pillar 3 on the second electrode 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 arranged along the first direction XX', and may be favorable for reducing an included angle β between the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 and a plane parallel to the display panel by increasing the width of the first end of the isolation trench 5, so as to further optimize a blocking effect of the isolation pillar 3 on the second electrode between the.
Preferably, the width of the first end of the isolation groove 5 is set to be less than or equal to 100 micrometers, and an excessively large width of the first end of the isolation groove 5 may cause a reduction in the flatness of the region where the isolation pillar 3 is located, i.e., the isolation region a2, which is not favorable for improving the problem of particles generated by friction between the tensioned mesh and the isolation pillar 3, and improving the problem of poor encapsulation effect of the encapsulation layer of the display panel.
Alternatively, with reference to fig. 1 to 3, the display panel may further include a pixel defining layer 7 disposed on the first electrode 2, the pixel defining layer 7 includes a first end adjacent to the substrate 1 and a second end away from the substrate 1, an area of the first end of the pixel defining layer 7 is larger than an area of the second end of the pixel defining layer 7 along a direction parallel to the display panel, the first end of the pixel defining layer 7 adjacent to the substrate 1 may be understood as a lower surface of the pixel defining layer 7 in fig. 2 and 3, and the second end of the pixel defining layer 7 away from the substrate 1 may be understood as an upper surface of the pixel defining layer 7 in fig. 2 and 3. The isolation columns 3 and the isolation grooves 5 are located on the pixel definition layer 7, an opening is formed in the pixel definition layer 7 corresponding to the pixel area a1, and the light emitting function layer 4 is arranged in the opening of the pixel definition layer 7.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the isolation pillars 3 and the isolation trenches 5 are located on the pixel defining layer 7, the pixel defining layer 7 is formed with an opening corresponding to the pixel region a1, and the area of the first end of the pixel defining layer 7 is larger than the area of the second end of the pixel defining layer 7 in the direction parallel to the display panel, that is, the area of the lower surface of the pixel defining layer 7 is larger than the area of the upper surface of the pixel defining layer 7, so that the pixel defining layer 7 for disposing the isolation pillars 3 and the isolation trenches 5 has a regular trapezoid shape as shown in fig. 2 and 3. Illustratively, the material constituting the pixel defining layer 7 may be provided to include a positive photoresist, which facilitates forming the pixel defining layer 7 with an area near one end of the substrate 1 larger than an area far from a second end of the substrate 1, for example, forming the pixel defining layer 7 with a trapezoidal cross section.
With reference to fig. 1 to 3, a light-emitting functional layer 4 is disposed in an opening of a pixel defining layer 7, and the pixel defining layer 7 functions to define an area where the light-emitting functional layer 4 is located in one pixel, so that when the light-emitting functional layer 4, for example, an OLED material, is formed in the opening of the pixel defining layer 7 by evaporation, the pixel defining layer can be used to define that the OLED material is formed in the opening of the pixel defining layer 7, it should be noted that fig. 2 and 3 only schematically illustrate that a surface of the light-emitting functional layer 4 away from a substrate 1 is flush with a surface of a spacer 3 away from the substrate 1, and in an actual manufacturing process of a display panel, a surface of the light-emitting functional layer 4 away from the substrate 1 is not higher than a surface of the pixel defining layer 7 away from the substrate 1, that is, i.e., an.
Fig. 4 is a schematic view of a manufacturing process of the display panel with the structure shown in fig. 3. With reference to fig. 1 to 4, after the first electrode 2 is fabricated on the substrate 1, a layer of positive photoresist may be formed on the first electrode 2, the positive photoresist is exposed and developed, so that the positive photoresist forms a positive trapezoidal pixel defining layer 7, then an entire layer of negative photoresist 71 is formed on the pixel defining layer 7, the upper surface of the negative photoresist 71 is higher than the upper surface of the pixel defining layer 7, the negative photoresist 71 is exposed and developed, so that a plurality of inverted trapezoidal isolation pillars 3 are formed on the pixel defining layer 7, then a light emitting functional layer 4 is formed by evaporation, a mask is disposed, openings of the mask respectively correspond to the pixel regions a1 separated by the isolation pillars 3, so that the light emitting functional layer 4 is formed in the openings of the pixel defining layer 7 and the openings of the pixel regions a1 separated by the isolation pillars 3, then a second electrode 6 is fabricated, and due to the disposition of the isolation trenches 5, the second electrodes 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 arranged along the first direction XX' are blocked to realize a PMOLED display panel, thereby realizing a full-screen display.
It should be noted that fig. 2 to 4 only exemplarily show that the cross section of the pixel defining layer 7 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 is in a regular trapezoid shape, which is influenced by illumination uniformity, and the sidewall of the pixel defining layer 7 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 may also be in an arc shape, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific shape of the pixel defining layer 7 between the adjacent pixel regions a1, and it is sufficient to ensure that the area of the first end of the pixel defining layer 7 adjacent to the substrate 1 is larger than the area of the second end of the pixel defining layer 7 away from the substrate 1.
Alternatively, in combination with fig. 1 to 4, the ratio of the thickness d1 of the isolation pillar 3 to the thickness d2 of the pixel defining layer 7 may be set to be 1:2 or more and 1:1 or less in a direction perpendicular to the display panel.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1 to 4, in the direction perpendicular to the display panel, the too small thickness of the isolation pillars 3 may cause the step height formed in the a region to be too small, reducing the isolation effect of the isolation grooves 5 between the isolation pillars 3 on the second electrodes 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a 1. In addition, the area b is an area where the isolation pillars 3 affect the size of the light-emitting functional layer 4, and along a direction perpendicular to the display panel, the area of the area b is increased due to the excessive thickness of the isolation pillars 3, so that the area b occupies more of the area where the light-emitting functional layer 4 is located, the light-emitting area of the pixel area a1 is affected, and the improvement of the resolution of the display panel is not facilitated.
Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional structure view of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is different from the display panels with the structures shown in fig. 2 to 4, in that the display panel with the structure shown in fig. 5 is provided with the spacers 3 disposed in contact with the first electrodes 2. Specifically, with reference to fig. 1 and 5, the display panel also includes a pixel region a1 and a partition region a2, and unlike the display panel with the structure shown in fig. 2 to 4, the display panel with the structure shown in fig. 5 does not need to provide the pixel defining layer 7 in fig. 4, but directly uses the isolation pillar 3 as the pixel defining structure of the light emitting functional layer 4 in the pixel, and the partition region a2 is provided with an isolation groove 5 having an area close to the first end of the substrate 1 that is larger than an area of the partition groove at the second end away from the substrate 1, and the partition of the second electrode 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 is realized by using the isolation groove 5.
For example, the material forming the isolation pillars 3 may also include a negative photoresist, so that the isolation effect on the second electrode 6 between the pixel regions a1 arranged along the first direction XX' and the limiting effect on the region where the light-emitting function layer 4 in the pixel are located can be achieved by forming the isolation pillars 3 only once, the manufacturing process of the display panel is simplified, meanwhile, the flatness of the surface of the display panel when the light-emitting function layer 4 is manufactured by stretching a net is improved, the problem that particles are generated due to friction between the stretching net and the isolation pillars 3 is solved, the encapsulation effect of the encapsulation layer in the display panel is improved, and the isolation pillars 3 can be used as a support layer (SPC) for supporting a mask, which is beneficial to simplifying the manufacturing process of the display panel.
Fig. 5 exemplarily shows that only two isolation pillars 3 and one isolation trench 5 separated by two isolation pillars 3 are disposed in the partition region a2, or as shown in fig. 6, a plurality of isolation trenches 5 are disposed in the partition region a2, fig. 6 exemplarily shows that the partition region a2 includes three isolation pillars 3 and two isolation trenches 5 separated by three isolation pillars 3, and in the partition region a2, the isolation pillars 3 and the isolation trenches 5 are alternately arranged along the first direction XX ', so that all the isolation trenches 5 in one partition region a2 are used for partitioning the second electrodes 6 located between the pixel regions a1 on both sides of the partition region a2 along the first direction XX ', so as to further reduce the probability of short circuit of the second electrodes 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 that are tapped along the first direction XX '.
Specifically, with reference to fig. 1, 5, and 6, after the first electrode 2 is fabricated on the substrate 1, a layer of negative photoresist may be formed on the first electrode 2, the negative photoresist is exposed and developed to form a plurality of inverted trapezoidal isolation pillars 3, then a light emitting functional layer 4 is formed by evaporation, a mask is provided, openings of the mask respectively correspond to the pixel regions a1 spaced by the isolation pillars 3, so that the light emitting functional layer 4 is formed in the openings of the pixel regions a1 spaced by the isolation pillars 3, and then the second electrode 6 is fabricated, due to the arrangement of the isolation grooves 5, the second electrode 6 between adjacent pixel regions a1 arranged along the first direction XX' is isolated to implement a PMOLED display panel, thereby implementing a full-screen display. It should be noted that fig. 5 and fig. 6 only schematically illustrate that the surface of the light-emitting function layer 4 away from the substrate 1 is flush with the surface of the isolation pillar 3 away from the substrate 1, and in an actual manufacturing process of the display panel, the surface of the light-emitting function layer 4 away from the substrate 1 is not higher than the surface of the pixel definition layer 7 away from the substrate 1, that is, the upper surface of the light-emitting function layer 4 is not higher than the upper surface of the pixel definition layer 7.
Preferably, in combination with fig. 1, 5 and 6, the spacer 3 may be provided to have a thickness of 1.2 μm or more in a direction perpendicular to the display panel. Specifically, referring to fig. 1, 5 and 6, in the direction perpendicular to the display panel, the too small thickness of the isolation pillars 3 may cause the step height formed in the region a to be too small, which reduces the isolation effect of the isolation grooves 5 between the isolation pillars 3 on the second electrode 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a 1.
Preferably, in conjunction with fig. 1, 5, and 6, the spacer 3 may be provided to have a thickness of 2 μm or less in a direction perpendicular to the display panel. Specifically, referring to fig. 1, 5 and 6, the area b is an area where the isolation pillars 3 affect the size of the light-emitting functional layer 4, and along a direction perpendicular to the display panel, an area of the area b is increased due to an excessively large thickness of the isolation pillars 3, and the area b occupies more of the area where the light-emitting functional layer 4 is located, so that the light-emitting area of the pixel area a1 is affected, which is not favorable for improving the resolution of the display panel.
Similarly, with reference to fig. 1, 5 and 6, an included angle β between the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel may be set to be 75 ° or less, an included angle β between the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel determines the inclination degree of the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3, and the smaller the included angle β between the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel is, the larger the area of the region a is, the better the effect of the isolation pillar 3 on the second electrode 6 between the adjacent pixel regions a1 arranged along the first direction XX' is, preferably, the included angle β between the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel may be set to be 25 ° or more, the included angle β between the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel determines the inclination degree of the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3, β between the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel may increase the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the isolation pillar, and the angle β ° or more between the sidewall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to reduce the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the display panel.
In addition, the width of the first end of the isolation trench 5 may be set to be less than or equal to 100 micrometers, and an excessively small width of the first end of the isolation trench 5 is not favorable for reducing the included angle β between the side wall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel to optimize the blocking effect of the isolation pillar 3 on the second electrode 6 in front of the adjacent pixel region a1 arranged along the first direction XX ', and the blocking effect of the isolation pillar 3 on the second electrode 6 in front of the adjacent pixel region a1 arranged along the first direction XX' may be further optimized by increasing the width of the first end of the isolation trench 5 and simultaneously reducing the included angle β between the side wall of the isolation pillar 3 and the plane parallel to the display panel.
For example, the display panel may be a transparent or transflective display panel, such as a PMOLED (Passive Matrix OLED, PMOLED, Passive organic electroluminescent diode, also called Passive organic electroluminescent diode) display panel, and since the PMOLED display panel has no TFT backplane and no metal routing, the light transmittance is high, and the requirement for high light transmittance is met.
In addition, the inventor finds that when the photosensitive element such as a camera is arranged below the display panel, the photographed image often has a problem of blurring to a large extent, which is not beneficial to realizing normal display of a full screen. The inventors have found that one reason for this problem is that: because the display screen body of the electronic equipment has the conductive wires, external light can cause complex diffraction intensity distribution when passing through the conductive wires, thereby diffraction stripes appear, and further normal work of photosensitive devices such as a camera can be influenced. For example, when a camera positioned below the transparent display area works, external light can be obviously diffracted after being routed through a wire material in the display screen, so that the picture shot by the camera is distorted.
Fig. 7 is a schematic top view of an isolation pillar according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1 to 7, along the extending direction of the isolation pillars 3, the vertical projection of the isolation pillars 3 on the substrate 1 may be configured to vary continuously or discontinuously along the width perpendicular to the extending direction.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1 to 7, when external light passes through the isolation pillar 3, diffraction occurs, which is a physical phenomenon that light waves propagate away from an original straight line when encountering an obstacle. In particular, light waves propagate with varying degrees of bending and spreading after passing through obstacles such as slits, holes or discs. When external light passes through the isolation column 3, the isolation column 3 acts as an obstacle to cause diffraction when the light passes through, and the position of the diffraction stripe is determined by the maximum width of each position. Therefore, it is only necessary to ensure that the isolation column 3 has a maximum width that changes along the extending direction of the isolation column 3, where the continuous change in width means that the widths of any two adjacent positions of the isolation column 3 are different along the extending direction of the isolation column 3. The discontinuous width variation means that the widths of two adjacent positions in a partial region of the isolation column 3 are the same and the widths of two adjacent positions in the partial region are different along the extension direction of the isolation column 3. Thus, the arrangement is along the extending direction of the isolation column 3, the vertical projection of the isolation column 3 on the substrate 1 can be continuously or discontinuously changed along the width perpendicular to the extending direction, and when external light passes through the isolation column 3, the positions of diffraction fringes generated at different maximum width positions are different, so that diffraction is not obvious, and the effect of improving diffraction is achieved. In addition, the plurality of spacers 3 are arranged on the substrate 1 in parallel along the first direction XX', so that the diffraction effect of the display panel can be uniformly improved, and the purpose of improving the diffraction effect of the display panel as a whole is achieved.
Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 7, the isolation pillars 3 have a periodically varying width along the extending direction thereof, that is, the width of the isolation pillars 3 does not vary irregularly, but varies regularly and periodically, so as to reduce the difficulty of the whole manufacturing process. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, one width variation period of the isolation pillars 3 may be set to correspond to one pixel region a1, and a perpendicular projection of the isolation pillars on the substrate may be set to be non-linear near at least one side of the pixel region, for example, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, and the non-linear shape may include at least one of a broken line, an arc, and a wave, i.e., the non-linear shape may be formed by at least one of a broken line, an arc, and a wave.
Fig. 9 is a schematic top view of a first electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention. With reference to fig. 2 to 9, the width of the first electrodes may be continuously or intermittently varied along the extending direction of the first electrodes, and the interval between the first electrodes may be continuously or intermittently varied.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 9, the first electrode 2 may be configured to extend in a wave shape, and the width of the first electrode 2 in the extending direction thereof is continuously or discontinuously varied, where the continuously varying width means that the width of any two adjacent positions on the first electrode 2 is different, and the discontinuously varying width means that the width of two adjacent positions in a partial region where the first electrode 1 exists is the same, and the width of two adjacent positions in the partial region is different. Illustratively, the plurality of first electrodes 2 are regularly arranged on the substrate 1, and therefore the gap between two adjacent first electrodes 2 also exhibits a continuous variation or an intermittent variation in the direction parallel to the extending direction of the first electrodes 2. The first electrode 2 may be periodically changed in the extending direction regardless of whether the width thereof is continuously changed or intermittently changed, and the length of one change period may correspond to the width of one pixel.
In this way, the width of the first electrodes 2 is continuously or intermittently varied in the extending direction of the first electrodes 2, so that the adjacent first electrodes 2 have a continuously or intermittently varied pitch. Therefore, the positions of the generated diffraction stripes are different between different width positions of the first electrodes 2 and different distances between the adjacent first electrodes 2, and the derivative effects at different positions are mutually offset, so that the diffraction effect can be effectively weakened, and the photographed graph has higher definition when the camera is arranged below the transparent display panel.

Preferably, the luminousness that can set up display panel is greater than 15% to improve the efficiency that photosensitive device can carry out light acquisition through this display panel, and then optimize photosensitive device's operating condition, for example photosensitive element is the camera, then can optimize the definition of the picture of shooing or shooting video.

Specifically, with reference to fig. 1 to 10, the light transmittance of the first display area AA1 is greater than that of the second display area AA2, and the light transmittances of the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 may also be set to be the same, so that the entire display screen 9 has better light transmittance uniformity, and the display screen 9 is ensured to have better display effect. For example, the display panel disposed in the second display area AA2 may be an AMOLED display panel, or an AMOLED-like display panel, where the AMOLED-like display panel is a display panel whose pixel circuit includes only one switch element, i.e., a driving switch, and has no capacitive structure, and other structures of the AMOLED-like display panel are the same as those of the AMOLED display panel, so as to form a full-screen composed of the PMOLED display panel and the AMOLED display panel.
