In practical applications, the display panel 100 may be used for a full-screen, wherein the first through hole 10 may be disposed in the array region, the second through hole 20 may be disposed in the bending region, and the bending region is disposed around the array region, so that the bending region disposed around the array region can be bent toward the reverse direction of the display surface, thereby forming the full-screen, and the functional layer 2 is not disposed in the bending region, so that the structure of the functional layer 2 is not damaged in the process of forming the second through hole 20.
It can be understood that the display panel 100 may also be used for a flexible display screen, and the first through hole 10 and the second through hole 20 may be both disposed in the array region, and the second through hole is disposed in an area of the first dielectric layer 3 that is not covered by the functional layer 2, so that the flexible display screen can perform flexible display such as curling and folding on the premise of ensuring the reliability of the functional layer 2.

The following describes the implementation details of the display panel 100 of the present embodiment in detail, and the following is only provided for the convenience of understanding and is not necessary for implementing the present embodiment.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the first dielectric layer 3 includes a gate insulating film 31 and a capacitor dielectric film 32 located on a side of the gate insulating film 31 away from the functional layer 2, the barrier film 301 is disposed between the capacitor dielectric film 32 and the interlayer dielectric film 4, and an etching rate of the barrier film 301 under the second etching condition is greater than an etching rate of the capacitor dielectric film 32. With such a configuration, the capacitance value of the display panel 100 can be further increased. Specifically, since the etching rate of the barrier film 301 under the second etching condition is greater than that of the capacitor dielectric film 32, which indicates that the capacitor dielectric film 32 has a high selectivity ratio, that is, the etching rate of the material used for etching the barrier film 301 to the capacitor dielectric film 32 is extremely low, the etching can be stopped at the capacitor dielectric film 32, so that the first dielectric layer 3 and the interlayer dielectric film 4 can be etched simultaneously in the subsequent process to form the first through hole 10 and the second through hole 20, and thus the requirements of different depths of the first through hole and the second through hole can be met; meanwhile, the capacitance of the display panel 100 can be increased due to the capacitor dielectric film 32, and the performance of the capacitor structure can be improved.
It is understood that the material of the gate insulating film 31 may be silicon oxide, the thickness of the gate insulating film 31 ranges from 110 nm to 130 nm, preferably 120 nm, and the thickness of the gate insulating film 31 needs to meet the sub-threshold swing (usually about 0.3) required by the display panel 100; the material of the capacitor dielectric film 32 may be silicon nitride, and since the sum of the thickness of the capacitor dielectric film 32 and the thickness of the barrier film 301 determines the pixel capacitance of the display panel 100, the thickness of the capacitor dielectric film 32 may be set according to actual requirements, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. Specifically, K-d-K1-K2/(K1-d- (K1-K2) d1) and d-d 1+ d2, where K is the dielectric constant of the entire capacitive medium of the display panel 100, K1 is the dielectric constant of the barrier film 301, d1 is the thickness of the first barrier film 301, K2 is the dielectric constant of the gate insulating film 31, and d2 is the thickness of the gate insulating film 31, and the thickness of the barrier film 301 can be calculated from the dielectric constant of the entire capacitive medium of the device. The gate insulating film 31 may be made of silicon oxide or the like, and the capacitor dielectric film 32 may be made of silicon nitride or the like.
Specifically, the display panel 100 further includes a second metal film 6, the second metal film 6 and the capacitor dielectric film 32 are disposed on the same layer, a portion of the capacitor dielectric film 32 is disposed between the first metal film 5 and the second metal film 6, and an orthographic projection of the second metal film 6 on the substrate 1 overlaps an orthographic projection of the first metal film 5 on the substrate 1. That is, the second metal film 6 is disposed on the side of the gate insulating film 31 away from the substrate 1, and the second metal film 6, the capacitance dielectric film 32, the barrier film 301 and the first metal 5 together form a capacitance of the display panel 100, and the capacitance dielectric film 32 and the barrier film 301 are dielectric layers of the capacitance.
It can be understood that the display panel 100 further includes a second dielectric layer 7 disposed between the substrate 1 and the functional layer 2, in this embodiment, an orthographic projection of the functional layer 2 on the substrate 1 is located in an orthographic projection of the second dielectric layer 7 on the substrate 1, and an orthographic projection of the second through hole 20 on the substrate 1 is independent from an orthographic projection of the functional layer 2 on the substrate 1, that is, the functional layer 2 is a patterned layer having a predetermined pattern, the functional layer 2 does not completely cover the second dielectric layer 7, and the second through hole 20 is disposed in an area of the second dielectric layer 7 not covered by the functional layer 2, so that in a process of forming the second through hole 20, a structure of the functional layer 2 is not damaged, a function of the functional layer 2 is not affected, and reliability of the functional layer 2 is improved. The functional layer 2 may be a PSI (active layer), the thickness of the functional layer 2 is 0.1 to 0.3 micrometers, and the first metal film 5 is further disposed in the first via hole 10, that is, the first via hole is used to connect the functional layer 2 and the first metal film 5. It is to be noted that the functional layer 2 and the gate insulating film 31 are provided in the same layer in this embodiment, and a part of the gate insulating film 31 is provided between the functional layer 2 and the second metal film 6. With this structure, the gate insulating film 31 can be used as an insulating layer between the second metal film 6 (gate electrode) and the functional layer 2 (active layer), thereby reducing leakage current and improving the stability of the display panel 100.
In addition, the second dielectric layer 7 is a laminated structure of a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer, the thickness of the silicon nitride layer is generally 40 to 60 nanometers, preferably 50 nanometers, and the thickness of the silicon oxide layer is generally 240 to 250 nanometers, preferably 250 nanometers, it can be understood that, by arranging the second dielectric layer 7 between the substrate 1 and the functional layer 2, external water and oxygen can be isolated from entering the functional layer 2, so that the reliability of the display panel 100 is improved, in addition, since a laser process is required when the functional layer 2 is prepared, the substrate 1 can be prevented from being damaged when the functional layer 2 is formed by arranging the second dielectric layer 7 on the substrate 1 and arranging the functional layer 2 on the second dielectric layer 7, so that the reliability of the display panel 100 is further improved.
It should be noted that the barrier film 301 in this embodiment is made of a material with a high dielectric constant, and may be an oxide or a nitride, specifically, the barrier film 301 may be made of a heavy metal oxide, a heavy metal nitride, or alumina; preferably, the barrier film 301 is made of zirconium oxide or hafnium oxide. By forming the barrier film 301 from the above-described material, the barrier film 301 can have a high dielectric constant, which is also referred to as a dielectric constant or a relative permittivity, which is a ratio of capacitance when the same substance is used as a dielectric and a vacuum in the same capacitor, and indicates a relative capacity of the dielectric to store electrostatic energy in an electric field, that is, the capacitance of a capacitor formed using the material is increased as the dielectric constant of the material is increased, and thus, the capacitance of the capacitor can be effectively increased by forming the barrier film 301 from a heavy metal oxide, a heavy metal nitride, or alumina. It is to be understood that the barrier film 301 is not limited to any particular material, and those skilled in the art can select the above-mentioned materials or other materials capable of providing the barrier film 301 with a high dielectric constant according to actual needs.
Specifically, the interlayer dielectric layer 4 includes a silicon oxide layer 41 and a silicon nitride layer 42. The interlayer dielectric layer 4 is used for isolating the first metal film 5 and the second metal film 6 in other regions of the display panel 100, so as to perform an insulating function, reduce the parasitic capacitance of the display panel 100, and avoid the phenomena of overall power consumption increase and signal delay of the display panel 100 caused by the overlarge parasitic capacitance.
A second embodiment of the present invention relates to a display device including the display panel described above. The display device has uniform capacitance.
