The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
In one aspect of the present invention, a backplane for an organic light emitting display panel is presented. According to an embodiment of the invention, referring to fig. 1, the backplane has a through hole 30 running through the entire backplane, the encapsulation area 20 of the backplane having an edge (shown in dashed line in fig. 1) surrounding the through hole 30. The through hole 30 may be used to install components such as a camera, and the scheme of digging a hole in the display area 10 to set a camera may save a frame at the camera, thereby improving a screen occupation ratio of a display device using the organic light emitting display panel. Due to the existence of the through hole 30, besides the package structure surrounding the edge of the backplane, a package structure surrounding the through hole needs to be provided to package the periphery of the through hole, and the package structure surrounding the through hole is located at the edge of the package area 20 surrounding the through hole 30. The back plate includes: the semiconductor package structure comprises a substrate 100, a first planarization layer 200, a first passivation layer 300 and an isolation groove 40, wherein the first planarization layer 200 is located on the substrate 100, the first passivation layer 300 is located on a side of the first planarization layer 200 away from the substrate 100, the first planarization layer 200 and the first passivation layer 300 extend to a side, close to the through hole 30, outside an encapsulation area 20, the isolation groove 40 is located on the substrate 100, close to the through hole 30, outside the encapsulation area 20, and the isolation groove 40 penetrates through the first passivation layer 300 and extends into the first planarization layer 200. Therefore, the isolation grooves in the first passivation layer and the first planarization layer can better block water and oxygen invasion at the through hole, the service performance of the organic light-emitting diode on the back plate is improved, the service life of the organic light-emitting diode is prolonged, the isolation grooves do not penetrate through the substrate, only extend to the planarization layer, and wiring of the substrate is not affected.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first passivation layer 300 is positioned on a side of the first planarization layer 200 away from the substrate 100 by extending the first planarization layer 200 and the first passivation layer 300 to the outside of the edge of the encapsulation area 20 and providing the isolation trench 40 in the first passivation layer 300 and the first planarization layer 200. On one hand, as the first passivation layer is made of inorganic materials, the first planarization layer is made of organic materials, and the first passivation layer is positioned on the upper side of the first planarization layer, when the isolation groove is formed through etching, etching gas or etching liquid can be moderately diffused in the organic materials, and therefore, the formed isolation groove has an eave structure, namely the cross section width of the groove in the first passivation layer is smaller than that of the groove in the first planarization layer. Therefore, when the organic light-emitting material layer in the organic light-emitting diode is arranged subsequently, the organic light-emitting material layer can be broken at the isolation groove to form a discontinuous film layer. Therefore, on one hand, the part of the organic light-emitting material layer between the isolation groove and the through hole is disconnected with the part of the isolation groove far away from the through hole. On the other hand, the water and oxygen permeating from the through hole 30 to the inner side of the display area can be blocked by the isolation groove of the eave structure, so that the water and oxygen at the through hole can be effectively blocked from permeating into the organic light-emitting diode along the organic light-emitting material layer, the service performance of the organic light-emitting diode is improved, and the service life of the organic light-emitting diode is prolonged. On the other hand, because the substrate is provided with a plurality of wires for controlling the display of the display panel, and the wires are mostly arranged on the same layer with the electrodes of the elements such as the thin film transistors on the display substrate and are usually positioned between the passivation layer and the substrate. Therefore, in the invention, the isolation trench is located in the first planarization layer and the first passivation layer, and under the condition of enhancing the water and oxygen barrier effect, compared with the isolation trench structure extending to the substrate 100, the routing of the substrate can not be affected, that is, the existing substrate can be adopted, and additional routing on the substrate is not required to be designed.

As is well known to those skilled in the art, in the conventional backplane, the passivation layer covers the source and drain metal layers, and the planarization layer is located on a side of the passivation layer away from the source and drain metal layers. According to the invention, the positions of the first planarization layer and the first passivation layer are exchanged, on one hand, an isolation groove with an eave structure can be formed in the first passivation layer and the first planarization layer to block water and oxygen from permeating into the through hole, on the other hand, a new film layer structure is not added, and the thickness of the back plate is not increased, and on the other hand, the inventor finds that the use of devices on the back plate is not influenced by the exchange of the positions of the passivation layer and the planarization layer.

Therefore, aiming at the back plate with the double-layer source drain metal layer, the isolation groove can be formed in the second passivation layer, the second planarization layer, the first passivation layer and the first planarization layer, the water and oxygen permeation of the through hole is blocked by the isolation groove, the service performance of the organic light-emitting diode on the back plate is improved, the service life of the organic light-emitting diode is prolonged, and the arrangement of wiring on the substrate is not influenced.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 2 and 3, a second isolation trench 60 may be further disposed on the backplane, the second isolation trench 60 being located inside the encapsulation region 20, the second isolation trench 60 penetrating the passivation layer and extending into the planarization layer. Therefore, the penetration of water and oxygen at the through hole can be further blocked, the service performance of the organic light-emitting diode is improved, and the service life of the organic light-emitting diode is prolonged.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cross-sectional width of the portion of the isolation trench 40 located in the passivation layer is smaller than the cross-sectional width of the portion located in the planarization layer along the plane of the substrate. Specifically, the cross-sectional width of the portion of the isolation trench 40 in the first passivation layer 300 is smaller than the cross-sectional width of the portion in the first planarization layer 200, and the cross-sectional width of the portion of the isolation trench 40 in the second passivation layer 700 is smaller than the cross-sectional width of the portion in the second planarization layer 600. Therefore, the isolation groove has the eave structure, and when the organic light emitting material layer of the organic light emitting diode is manufactured, the structure can enable the organic light emitting material layer to be disconnected at the isolation groove, so that water and oxygen at the through hole are effectively blocked from permeating into the organic light emitting diode along the organic light emitting material layer.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 100 may be a flexible substrate. Specifically, the base plate 100 may include a first flexible substrate 110, a buffer layer 120, a second flexible substrate 130, and a barrier layer 140, which are sequentially stacked.
