It should be noted that if fig. 2 is rotated by 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, or the sub-pixels are arranged according to other preset rules, so that the initial row of sub-pixels only includes the red sub-pixel R, that is, the initial row of red sub-pixels R protrudes, and the end row of sub-pixels only includes the green sub-pixel G, that is, the end row of green sub-pixels G protrudes, an edge color edge phenomenon may occur, and by setting the light guide structure 20, the light emitting paths of the light rays of the initial row of the edge region 111 of the display region 11 and the end row of sub-pixels 13 are changed, and the light is guided to the light absorption structure 30 and then absorbed, so that the luminance of the sub-pixels of the edge region 111 of the display region 11 is reduced, and the edge color edge phenomenon is reduced.

The light guide structure 20 only covers the portion 112 of the first edge sub-pixel 131 protruding toward the non-display region 12, so as to reduce the coverage area of the light guide structure 20 as much as possible and weaken the edge color fringing phenomenon.
Optionally, on the basis of the above embodiment, with continuing reference to fig. 3, the display panel further includes an encapsulation layer 103 covering the display region 11, and the encapsulation layer 103 is located between the display substrate 10 and the light guide structure 20.
Optionally, the display substrate 10 may include an array substrate 101, and a pixel layer 102 on the array substrate 101. The encapsulation layer 103 is located on a side of the pixel layer 102 away from the array substrate 101.

Alternatively, on the basis of the above embodiment, with continuing reference to fig. 1 or fig. 3, the light absorbing structure 30 is located on the surface of the light guiding structure 20 on the side away from the center of the display substrate 10. For example, a light absorbing material such as black organic glue and black ink may be coated on a surface of the light guide structure 20 away from the center of the display substrate 10, so as to facilitate absorption of light guided out by the light guide structure 20.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the light guide structure includes a total reflection type light guide structure or a volume grating type light guide structure.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, with continuing reference to fig. 3, the light guide structure 20 includes at least two dielectric layers, for example, a first dielectric layer 21 and a second dielectric layer 22 in fig. 3, refractive indexes of any two adjacent dielectric layers are different, and an included angle between an interface of the two adjacent dielectric layers and the display substrate is an acute angle or an obtuse angle. The light of the edge sub-pixel 13 is guided to be absorbed after being transmitted to the light absorption structure 30 by total reflection or refraction at the interface of at least two dielectric layers, so as to weaken the edge color edge phenomenon.
The embodiment of the invention provides another display panel. Fig. 4 is a partially enlarged view of fig. 3. On the basis of the above embodiment, the light guide structure 20 includes a first medium layer 21 and a second medium layer 22, where the first medium layer 21 covers at least a partial region of the edge sub-pixel 13; the surface of the first medium layer 21 far away from the display substrate 10 is an inclined surface 211, the inclined surface 211 inclines from the edge of the display region 11 to the direction close to the display substrate 10, the second medium layer 22 is located on the inclined surface 211, and the refractive index of the first medium layer 21 is larger than that of the second medium layer 22.
Fig. 4 is a partially enlarged schematic view of fig. 3, and fig. 4 exemplarily illustrates a case where the light guide structure 20 is a total reflection type light guide structure. The light emitted from the edge sub-pixel 13 is vertically incident to the first medium layer 21, and then the incident light is totally reflected at the interface between the first medium layer 21 and the second medium layer 22, and the reflected light will be incident to the light absorption structure 30 and absorbed. Optionally, the material of the first dielectric layer 21 includes photoresist, and for example, the first dielectric layer 21 having the inclined surface 211 may be formed through a half-tone mask process. Optionally, the material of the second dielectric layer 22 includes silicon oxide.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, with reference to fig. 4, an included angle β between the inclined surface 211 and the surface of the first medium layer 21 close to the display substrate 10 is greater than or equal to a critical angle at which light emitted by the edge sub-pixel 13 covered by the light guide structure 20 is totally reflected at an interface between the first medium layer 21 and the second medium layer 22.
The emitting direction of the light emitted by the edge sub-pixel 13 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the display substrate 10, and the normal 212 of the interface between the first medium layer 21 and the second medium layer 22 is perpendicular to the inclined surface 211, so that the included angle β between the inclined surface 211 and the upper surface of the display substrate 10 is equal to the incident angle γ when the light is reflected on the interface between the first medium layer 21 and the second medium layer 22. If the incident angle γ is greater than or equal to the critical angle, i.e. the included angle β is greater than or equal to the critical angle, the light emitted from the edge sub-pixel 13 will be totally reflected at the interface between the first dielectric layer 21 and the second dielectric layer 22. The included angle beta is greater than or equal to the critical angle and less than 90 degrees.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, with reference to fig. 3, the display panel further includes a transparent filling layer 40 located on one side of the display substrate 10 and covering the light guiding structure 20, and a side of the transparent filling layer 40 away from the display substrate 10 is a plane, so as to flatten a surface of the display panel.
Fig. 5 is a schematic partial cross-sectional structure diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. On the basis of the above embodiment, the light guide structure 20 includes a plurality of dielectric layers sequentially stacked, refractive indexes of any two adjacent dielectric layers are different, and an interface of any two adjacent dielectric layers is inclined from an edge of the display area 11 to a direction away from the display substrate 10.
Fig. 5 exemplarily shows a case where the light guide structure 20 is a volume grating type light guide structure. The light emitted from the edge sub-pixel 13 is vertically incident into one of the medium layers, and then refracted to enter the adjacent medium layer, and the light is gradually deflected by refraction until the light is emitted to the light absorption structure 30 to be absorbed.
Alternatively, on the basis of the above embodiment, with continued reference to fig. 5, the light guide structure 20 includes third medium layers 23 and fourth medium layers 24 alternately arranged.
Wherein, optionally, the light guiding structure 20 comprises a heavy complex acid salt gelatin body grating. Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a light guide structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. The incident direction of ultraviolet light inclined irradiates the heavy complex acid salt gelatin, and irradiated areas and non-irradiated areas are alternately arranged, wherein the refractive indexes of the areas irradiated by the ultraviolet light and the areas not irradiated by the ultraviolet light are different, so that a multilayer dielectric layer with the refractive index alternately changing is formed. By adjusting the irradiation angle of the ultraviolet light, the included angle α between the interface of any two adjacent dielectric layers and the display substrate 10 can be adjusted. The sizes of D1 and D were adjusted by adjusting the sizes of the illuminated area and the non-illuminated area.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 5, in any two adjacent dielectric layers, an included angle α between the bottom of the dielectric layer close to the center O of the display substrate 10 and the interface is greater than or equal to 45 degrees and less than or equal to 75 degrees, and the bottom of the dielectric layer is a side of the dielectric layer close to the display substrate 10.
The included angle α cannot be too large, so that light emitted by the edge sub-pixel 13 is prevented from being incident perpendicularly into one of the dielectric layers and being totally reflected, and the light cannot be deflected to the adjacent dielectric layer, so that the light cannot be guided to the light absorption structure 30. The included angle α cannot be too large, otherwise the thickness of the light guide structure 20 in the direction perpendicular to the display substrate needs to be increased, resulting in an increase in product volume. The included angle alpha cannot be too small, otherwise the normal lines of two adjacent dielectric layers approach the direction vertical to the display substrate, so that the deflection of light rays is not easy to realize.
Optionally, with reference to fig. 5, the sum of the thicknesses of two adjacent dielectric layers is D, the thickness of the dielectric layer with the smaller refractive index in the two adjacent dielectric layers is D1, and D1/D is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.7.
Where D1/D may be referred to as a duty cycle. The smaller the thickness of the dielectric layer with the smaller refractive index is, the larger the thickness of the dielectric layer with the larger refractive index is, the larger the deflection degree of the light is, and the thickness of the light guide structure 20 in the direction perpendicular to the display substrate is favorably reduced.
