In electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers, photosensitive components such as a front camera, an infrared light sensor, and a proximity light sensor need to be integrated on a side where a display panel is provided. In some embodiments, a transparent display area may be disposed on the electronic device, and the photosensitive component is disposed on the back of the transparent display area, so as to achieve full-screen display of the electronic device under the condition that the photosensitive component is ensured to work normally.
In order to improve the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display region, the display effect of the light-transmitting display region is usually sacrificed, so that the display effects of the light-transmitting display region and other display regions of the electronic device are inconsistent.
In order to solve the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a display panel and a display device, and the following describes embodiments of the display panel and the display device with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the invention, and fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of fig. 1.
The display panel 100 has a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2, the second display area AA2 may be at least partially disposed around the first display area AA1, the first display area AA1 may include a plurality of first sub-pixels arranged in an array, and the second display area AA2 may include a plurality of second sub-pixels arranged in an array. The light transmittance of the first display region AA1 is greater than that of the second display region AA 2.
Herein, it is preferable that the light transmittance of the first display area AA1 is 15% or more. In order to ensure that the light transmittance of the first display area AA1 is greater than 15%, even greater than 40%, or even higher, it is preferable that the light transmittance of each functional film layer of the display panel 100 in this embodiment is greater than 80%, and even at least some of the functional film layers have a light transmittance greater than 90%.
According to the display panel 100 of the embodiment of the invention, the light transmittance of the first display area AA1 is greater than that of the second display area AA2, so that the display panel 100 can integrate a photosensitive component on the back of the first display area AA1, and realize the under-screen integration of the photosensitive component such as a camera, and meanwhile, the first display area AA1 can display a picture, so that the display area of the display panel 100 is increased, and the full-screen design of the display device is realized. The display panel 100 may include an array substrate, and a first functional layer 120, a light emitting layer 130, a second functional layer 160, and a cathode layer 140 disposed on an array substrate anode layer 110.
The cathode layer 140 includes a first cathode layer 141 at the first display area AA1 and a second cathode layer 142 at the second display area AA 2. Wherein at least a portion of the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 is not uniform with the thickness of the second cathode layer 142.
According to the display panel 100 of the embodiment of the invention, the display panel 100 includes the first functional layer 120, the light emitting layer 130, the second functional layer 160, and the cathode layer 140 sequentially stacked along the light emitting direction of the display panel 100, the cathode layer 140 includes the first cathode layer 141 located in the first display area AA1 and the second cathode layer 142 located in the second display area AA2, and at least a part of the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 is different from the thickness of the second cathode layer 142. In this embodiment, by adjusting the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 in the first display area AA1 to be different from the thickness of the second cathode layer 142 in the second display area AA2, the viewing angle attenuation of the first display area AA1 at different viewing angles is adjusted, the difference of the viewing angle attenuation of the first display area AA 3526 from the second display area AA2 is reduced, the spread of the viewing angle color shift is improved, the display difference of the first display area at different viewing angles from the second display area is reduced, and the display uniformity of the display panel 100 is improved.
It should be noted that the first functional layer 120 and the second functional layer 160 refer to functional layers related to carriers, including but not limited to a layer structure that performs functions of carrier injection, carrier transport, or carrier blocking, and the like, and the carriers include holes and electrons.
In some embodiments, the first functional layer 120 may include a first sub-first functional layer 121 positioned in the first display area AA1 and a second sub-first functional layer 122 positioned in the second display area AA 2. In some embodiments, the second functional layer 160 may include a first sub-second functional layer 161 positioned in the first display area AA1 and a second sub-second functional layer 162 positioned in the second display area AA 2.
In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is another cross-sectional view B-B of FIG. 1. The light emitting layer 130 includes a first light emitting layer 131 located in the first display area AA1, the first light emitting layer 131 includes a first red light emitting unit 131R, a first green light emitting unit 131G, and a first blue light emitting unit 131B, a thickness d1 of the first cathode layer 141 corresponding to the first red light emitting unit 131R, a thickness d2 of the first cathode layer 141 corresponding to the first green light emitting unit 131R, and a thickness d3 of the first cathode layer 141 corresponding to the first blue light emitting unit 131B satisfy: d1 > d2 > d 3.
In the present embodiment, the thicknesses of the first cathode layers 141 corresponding to the first red light emitting units 131R, the first green light emitting units 131G, and the first blue light emitting units 131B in the first display area AA1 are set to be different, and the thicknesses of the different areas of the first cathode layers 141 corresponding to the first light emitting units with different colors are adjusted to reduce the difference of the color shifts of the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 in different viewing angles, so as to improve the display uniformity of the display panel 100. Further, the problem of color shift of the viewing angle of the first display area AA1 itself can be improved.
In some embodiments, the second light emitting layer 132 includes a second red light emitting unit 132R, a second green light emitting unit 132G, and a second blue light emitting unit 132B.
Further, in some embodiments, the second cathode layer 142 is a layered structure with a uniform thickness, and the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 corresponding to the first green light emitting unit 131G is equal to the thickness of the second cathode layer 142.
In other embodiments, the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 corresponding to the first red light emitting unit 131R may be equal to the thickness of the second cathode layer 142.
Since the viewing angle attenuation difference between the first red light emitting cell 131R of the first display area AA1 and the first red light emitting cell 132R of the second display area AA2 is small, and the viewing angle attenuation difference between the first green light emitting cell 131G and the second green light emitting cell 132G of the second display area AA2 is small, the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 corresponding to the first red light emitting cell 131R and the thickness of the second cathode layer 142 may be set to be uniform, or the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 corresponding to the first green light emitting cell 131G and the thickness of the second cathode layer 142 may be set to be uniform. The viewing angle attenuation of the first blue light emitting cell 131B in the first display area AA1 is smaller than that of the second blue light emitting cell 132B in the second display area AA2, and therefore, the viewing angle attenuation of the first blue light emitting cell 131B can be relatively increased to be consistent with that of the second blue light emitting cell 132B by making the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 corresponding to the first blue light emitting cell 131B larger than that of the second cathode layer 142. In this embodiment, the thicknesses of the first cathode layers 141 corresponding to the light emitting units of different colors in the first display area AA1 are appropriately adjusted relative to the thickness of the second cathode layer 142 in the second display area AA2, so that the viewing angle attenuations of the light emitting units in the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 are consistent, the color shifts of the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 at different viewing angles are further reduced, and the display uniformity of the display panel 100 is improved.
In the above embodiment, the thickness of the first sub second functional layer 161 may be the same as the thickness of the second sub second functional layer 162; and/or the thickness of the first light emitting layer 131 may be identical to that of the second light emitting layer 132.
In this embodiment, if the thicknesses of the first sub second functional layers 161 corresponding to different light emitting units are not the same, the fact that the thickness of the first sub second functional layer 161 is the same as the thickness of the second sub second functional layer 162 means that the thickness of the second sub second functional layer 162 corresponding to the light emitting units of the same color as the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 is the same as the thickness of the first sub second functional layer 161. Similarly, the fact that the thickness of the first light-emitting layer 131 may be the same as the thickness of the second light-emitting layer 132 means that the thicknesses of the light-emitting cells of the same color corresponding to the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 are the same.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the second functional layer 160 further includes a first sub second functional layer 161 located in the first display area AA1 and a second sub second functional layer 162 located in the second display area AA2, and the thickness of the first sub second functional layer 161 is greater than that of the second sub second functional layer 162. In some embodiments, the thickness of the first sub second functional layer 161 may be 20nm to 50nm, and the thickness of the second sub second functional layer 162 may be 10nm to 40 nm.
In this embodiment, the thickness of the first sub-second functional layer 161 in the first display area AA1 is greater than the thickness of the second sub-second functional layer 162 in the second display area AA2, so that the visual angle attenuation of the first red light-emitting unit 131R in the first display area AA1 can be increased, and the visual angle attenuation of the first blue light-emitting unit 131B can be reduced, so that the visual angle attenuations of the light-emitting units of the corresponding colors in the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 can be made to be consistent, the color shift difference between the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 at different visual angles can be further reduced, and the display uniformity of the display panel 100 can be improved.
If the thicknesses of the first sub second functional layers 161 corresponding to the light emitting units of different colors are not the same, the thickness of the first sub second functional layer 161 is greater than that of the second sub second functional layer 162, which means that the thickness of the first sub second functional layer 161 corresponding to the light emitting units of the same color as the second display area AA2 in the first display area AA1 is greater than that of the second sub second functional layer 162.
Further, in some embodiments, the first cathode layer 141 and the second cathode layer 142 are both of a layered structure having a uniform thickness, and the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 is smaller than that of the second cathode layer 142.
In this embodiment, the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 in the first display area AA1 is smaller than that of the second cathode layer 142 in the second display area AA2, so that the transmittance of the first display area AA1 can be improved, and the thickness of the first cathode layer 141 in the first display area AA1 is consistent with that of the first sub-second functional layer 161 and that of the second cathode layer 142 in the second display area AA2 is consistent with that of the second sub-second functional layer 162 by reducing the thickness of the first cathode layer 141, so that the heights of the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 are consistent.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the first light emitting layer 131 is the same as the thickness of the second light emitting layer 132. Specifically, the first light-emitting layer 131 includes a red first light-emitting unit 131R, a green first light-emitting unit 131G, and a blue first light-emitting unit 131B, and the second light-emitting layer 132 includes a red second light-emitting unit 132R, a green second light-emitting unit 132G, and a blue second light-emitting unit 132B, so that the thickness of the first light-emitting layer 131 is the same as the thickness of the second light-emitting layer 132 in this embodiment, which means that the thicknesses of the light-emitting units of the same color in the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 are the same. When the light emitting layers of the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 are formed by evaporation, the evaporation of the light emitting units of the same color in the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 can be performed simultaneously, so that the preparation process can be simplified, and the preparation efficiency can be improved.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the first display area AA1 from the first cathode layer 141 to the first sub-first functional layer 121 is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the second display area AA2 from the second cathode layer 142 to the second sub-first functional layer 122. Which facilitates the uniformity of the overall thickness of the display panel 100.
In any of the above embodiments, the display panel 100 may further include a light extraction layer 150, the light extraction layer 150 is located on a side of the cathode layer 140 facing away from the light emitting layer 130, and the light extraction layer 150 includes a first light extraction layer 151 located in the first display area AA 1. The light extraction layer 150 can adjust the optical interference distance, suppress external light reflection, and improve the light extraction efficiency.
In the first display area AA1, the refractive indices of the layers satisfy the alternating arrangement of high and low from the first light extraction 151 to the first functional layer 120.
According to the display panel of the embodiment of the invention, in the first display area AA1, the refractive indexes of the respective layers satisfy the high-low alternating arrangement from the first light extraction layer 151 to the first functional layer 120. Through the alternative arrangement of the refractive indexes of the different film layers, a resonant cavity can be formed between the anode layer 110 and the light extraction layer 150 of the first display area AA1 of the display panel, so that a microcavity effect between the anode layer 110 and the cathode layer 140 of the first display area AA1 can be enhanced, the light extraction efficiency of the first display area AA1 is improved, the display difference between the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 is reduced, and the display uniformity of the display panel 100 is improved.
In some embodiments, the refractive indices of the first sub-first functional layer 121 and the first sub-second functional layer 161 may be both 1.3 to 1.5; the refractive index of the first light emitting layer 131 may be 1.4 to 1.6; the refractive index of the first cathode layer can be 0.5-1; the refractive index of the first light extraction layer 151 is 1.6 to 2.1.
In some embodiments, the anode layer 110 of the display panel 100 includes a first anode layer 111 positioned in the first display area AA1 and a second anode layer 112 positioned in the second display area AA 2. In some embodiments, the first anode layer 111 is a reflective electrode layer and may include a first light-transmissive conductive layer, a reflective layer on the first light-transmissive conductive layer, and a second light-transmissive conductive layer on the reflective layer. The first and second transparent conductive layers may be ITO, indium zinc oxide, etc., and the reflective layer may be a metal layer, such as made of silver.
Further, in some embodiments, the orthographic area of the first anode layer 111 on the cathode layer 140 is smaller than the orthographic area of the second anode layer 112 on the cathode layer 140. The first anode layer 111 adopts a small anode scheme, which can increase the transmittance of the first display area AA1, thereby improving the photosensitive effect of the photosensitive assembly 200.
In some embodiments, the second functional layer 160 may include at least one of an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, and a hole blocking layer disposed between the light emitting layer 130 and the cathode layer 140, and the first functional layer 120 may include at least one of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, and an electron blocking layer disposed between the light emitting layer 140 and the anode layer 110. Wherein, the electron injection layer may include a first electron injection layer 121a positioned at the first display area AA1 and a second electron injection layer positioned at the second display area AA 2; the electron transport layer may include a first electron transport layer 161b positioned at the first display area AA1 and a second electron transport layer positioned at the second display area AA 2; the hole blocking layer may include a first hole blocking layer located at the first display region AA1 and a second hole blocking layer located at the second display region AA 2; the hole injection layer may include a first hole injection layer 121c positioned at the first display area AA1 and a second hole injection layer positioned at the second display area AA 2; the hole transport layer may include a first hole transport layer 121b positioned at the first display region AA1 and a second hole transport layer positioned at the second display region AA 2; the electron blocking layer may include a first electron blocking layer 121a positioned at the first display area AA1 and a second electron blocking layer positioned at the second display area AA 2. For example, as shown in fig. 2, in an embodiment, the first sub-first functional layer 121 may specifically include a first hole injection layer 121c, a first hole transport layer 121b and a first electron blocking layer 121a, and the second sub-first functional layer 161 may specifically include a first electron injection layer 161a and a first electron transport layer 161 b. In order to further improve the light extraction efficiency of the first display area AA1, in the first display area AA1, the refractive indexes of the light extraction layer 150, the first cathode layer 141, the first electron injection layer 161a, the first electron transport layer 161b, the first light emitting layer 131, the first electron blocking layer 121a, the first hole transport layer 121b, and the first hole injection layer 121c satisfy a high-low alternating arrangement.
Further, in some embodiments, the refractive index of the first light extraction layer 151 is the largest in the first display area AA1, the first light extraction layer 151 to the first functional layer 121.
