Example one
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the present application provides a display panel 100, where the display panel 100 includes an array substrate 200, a pixel definition layer 300 on the array substrate 200, and a light emitting device layer 400. The pixel defining layer 300 includes a plurality of first openings 301 and a plurality of second openings 302, the first openings 301 are filled with a light emitting material, the second openings 302 are filled with a viscous material 500, and the viscous material 500 is used for bonding the light emitting device layer 400 and the array substrate 200.

In this embodiment, the display panel 100 includes a planarization layer 210 located between the pixel definition layer 300 and the array substrate 200. The second opening 302 penetrates the pixel defining layer 300 and extends to the planarization layer 210. The deeper the depth of the second opening 302, the larger the contact area between the adhesive material 500 in the second opening 302 and the surrounding film layers, and the better the bonding effect, please refer to fig. 4 specifically.
In this embodiment, the depth of the second opening 302 may be such that the second opening penetrates through the pixel defining layer 300 and exposes the planarization layer 210, and the planarization layer 210 is not etched and invaded by the second opening 302, as shown in fig. 1.
In this embodiment, the depth of the second opening 302 may be such that it penetrates through the pixel defining layer 300 and includes a portion of the second opening 302 in the planarization layer 210. The second opening 302 does not extend through the planarization layer 210. The adhesive material 500 is filled in the second opening 302, and the contact area between the adhesive material 500 in the second opening 302 and the surrounding film layers is increased, so that the array substrate 200 and the light emitting device layer 400 can be better bonded. Because the source/drain layer 220 is included between the planarization layer 210 and the interlayer insulating layer, if the second opening 302 penetrates through the planarization layer 210, the depth of the hole is too deep, which may easily damage the source/drain layer 220, specifically refer to fig. 1 and 2.
In this embodiment, a plurality of first protrusions 501 and/or a plurality of first recesses 502 are disposed on a first surface of the adhesive material 500 contacting the light emitting device layer 400.

In this embodiment, a plurality of second protrusions 303 and/or a plurality of second concave surfaces 304 are disposed on a second surface of the pixel defining layer 300, which is in contact with the adhesive material 500. The adhesive material 500 is nested with the pixel defining layer 300 by the second protrusions 303 and/or the second concavities 304 on the second surface, as shown in fig. 3. The second surface is any one surface of the pixel defining layer 300, the contact area between the adhesive material 500 and the pixel defining layer 300 is increased, the adhesion between the adhesive material 500 and the pixel defining layer 300 is increased, and the stability between the two film layers is improved.
In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the second opening 302 in the first cross-section is gradually increased in a direction away from the array substrate 200. The first section is parallel to the array substrate 200. By increasing the cross-sectional area of the second opening 302 adjacent to the light emitting device layer 400 in the first cross-section, the area of the adhesive material 500 contacting the light emitting device layer 400 is increased, and the array substrate 200 and the light emitting device layer 400 can be better bonded.
In this embodiment, the adhesive material 500 includes propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, polyisobutylene, butyl rubber, microcrystalline wax, and chloroform.

In this embodiment, in the preparation process of the viscous material 500, the added contents are as follows: 54% propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, 23% polyisobutylene, 18% butyl rubber, 3% microcrystalline wax, and 2% chloroform. After filling the second opening 302 with the above-mentioned components in the above-mentioned ratio, the solvent of the adhesive material 500, i.e., the propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, may be precipitated by drying under reduced pressure, and the final remaining propylene glycol methyl ether acetate may account for less than 10% by mass of the original components. This not only reduces the energy consumption and difficulty of the drying process, but also properly increases the flexibility of the adhesive material 500, thereby better improving the stress when the display panel 100 is twisted.
In the present embodiment, the second opening 302 is disposed in the non-display region of the pixel defining layer 300, please refer to fig. 2 specifically. The second opening 302 does not occupy the aperture ratio of the display panel 100 in the non-display area of the display panel 100, while the non-display area is distributed around the display area, and the second opening 302 and the adhesive material 500 are also distributed around the display area, so that when the display panel 100 is curled, the stress can be better dispersed, the adhesion can be enhanced, and the reliability between the film layers of the display panel 100 can be improved.

The black matrixes 310 are used for shielding non-display devices such as signal lines, and the second opening 302 is arranged between any two adjacent black matrixes 310, so that a non-display device area, the array substrate 200 and the light-emitting device layer 400 can be bonded tightly, and the display panel 100 is prevented from being separated when being curled.
In this embodiment, the second opening 302 is disposed between any two adjacent spacers 320 in the non-display area, please refer to fig. 2 specifically. The spacers 320 are used for relieving stress when the display panel 100 is squeezed, and the second openings 302 are arranged between any two adjacent spacers 320 and are matched with each other, so that a non-display device area, the array substrate 200 and the light-emitting device layer 400 can be bonded tightly, and separation is avoided when the display panel 100 is curled.
In this embodiment, the black matrix 310 is located between any two of the first openings 301, and particularly referring to fig. 2, a light shielding effect can be better achieved, so as to prevent color mixing in a light emitting region.
In this embodiment, the opening shape of the second opening 302 in the pixel region may be a closed figure, including a circle, a rectangle, and a triangle, which is not limited herein. Wherein, because of the circular characteristic, the closed figure of the same girth, the circular area is the biggest, when the opening shape is circular, please refer to fig. 2 specifically, the bonding effect is the best.
In this embodiment, the light emitting device layer 400 includes a cathode layer 430, a light emitting material layer 420, and an anode layer 410. The luminescent material layer 420 includes a conductive layer, a luminescent material, and an emission layer. The conductive layer includes a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer. The emission layer includes an electron transport layer and an electron injection layer.
In this embodiment, when the temperature is increased, the bonding capability of the adhesive material 500 is enhanced, that is, when the display panel 100 operates, the temperature of the display panel 100 is increased, so that, in the normal operating range of the display panel 100, as the working strength of the display panel 100 is increased, the higher the temperature is, the stronger the bonding capability of the adhesive material 500 is, the better the bonding effect is, and the firmer the inter-film layers in the display panel 100 are, and the separation is not easy.
This embodiment is through filling viscous material between array substrate and light emitting device layer, utilizes this viscous material to bond array substrate and light emitting device layer, avoids display panel to lead to the rete to separate at the crimping in-process because the adhesion between array substrate and the light emitting device layer is not enough, causes display panel to show unusual technical problem.

This not only reduces the energy consumption and difficulty of the drying process, but also properly increases the flexibility of the adhesive material 500, thereby better improving the stress when the display panel 100 is twisted.
In this embodiment, the 20% black dye may include 10% carbon black, 5% dispersant, 2% cross-linked polymer, and 3% cross-linked monomer. The proportion can ensure that the color of the viscous material 500 is blackened to achieve the shading effect of the original black matrix 310, and the bonding capacity of the viscous material 500 is not greatly changed.
