The pixel defining layer 300 includes a plurality of first openings 301 and a plurality of second openings, the first openings 301 are filled with a light emitting material, the second openings are filled with an adhesive material 500, and the adhesive material 500 is used for bonding the light emitting device layer 400 and the array substrate 200.
According to the application, the adhesive material is filled between the array substrate and the light-emitting device layer, and the adhesive material is used for bonding the array substrate and the light-emitting device layer, so that the technical problem that the display panel is abnormal due to the fact that the film layer is separated due to insufficient adhesive force between the array substrate and the light-emitting device layer in the curling process of the display panel is avoided.
The technical scheme of the present application will now be described with reference to specific embodiments.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the present application provides a display panel 100, wherein the display panel 100 includes an array substrate 200, a pixel defining layer 300 disposed 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 an adhesive material 500, and the adhesive material 500 is used for bonding the light emitting device layer 400 and the array substrate 200. In this embodiment, the array substrate 200 includes a first substrate, a first buffer layer, a second substrate, a second buffer layer, an active layer, a first gate insulating layer, a first gate layer, a second gate insulating layer, a second gate layer, an interlayer insulating layer, and a source/drain layer 220 in this order.
In this embodiment, the first substrate includes a first substrate, a first buffer layer, a second substrate, a second buffer layer, an active layer, a first gate insulating layer, a first gate layer, a second gate insulating layer, a second gate layer, and an interlayer insulating layer of the array substrate 200.
In this embodiment, the display panel 100 includes a planarization layer 210 between the pixel defining layer 300 and the array substrate 200. The second opening 302 extends through the pixel defining layer 300 and to the planarization layer 210. The greater the depth of the second opening 302, the greater the contact area between the adhesive material 500 in the second opening 302 and the surrounding film layer, and the better the adhesion effect, see fig. 4.
In this embodiment, the depth of the second opening 302 may be through the pixel defining layer 300 and expose the planarization layer 210, and the planarization layer 210 is not etched into the second opening 302, refer to fig. 1.
In this embodiment, the depth of the second opening 302 may be the depth that penetrates 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 planar layer 210. The adhesive material 500 fills the second opening 302, and the contact area between the adhesive material 500 and the surrounding film layer in the second opening 302 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 the planarization layer 210, the hole is perforated too deeply, which is easy to damage the source/drain layer 220, refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2.
In this embodiment, a plurality of first protrusions 501 and/or a plurality of first concave surfaces 502 are provided on a first surface of the adhesive material 500 contacting the light emitting device layer 400. The adhesive material 500 is nested with the light emitting device layer 400 by the first protrusions 501 and/or the first concavities 502 on the first surface, see fig. 4. The first surface is any surface of the adhesive material 500, so that the contact area between the adhesive material 500 and the light-emitting device layer 400 is increased, the adhesion between the adhesive material 500 and the light-emitting device layer 400 is increased, and the stability between the two layers is improved.
In this embodiment, a plurality of second protrusions 303 and/or a plurality of second concave surfaces 304 are provided on a second surface of the pixel defining layer 300 contacting the adhesive material 500. The adhesive material 500 is nested with the pixel defining layer 300 by the plurality of second protrusions 303 and/or the plurality of second recesses 304 on the second surface, see fig. 3. The second surface is any surface of the pixel defining layer 300, which increases the contact area between the adhesive material 500 and the pixel defining layer 300, increases the adhesion between the adhesive material 500 and the pixel defining layer 300, and improves the stability between the two layers.
In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the second opening 302 on the first cross-section gradually increases in a direction away from the array substrate 200. The first section is parallel to the array substrate 200. By gradually increasing the cross-sectional area of the second opening 302 near 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 may be increased, and the array substrate 200 and the light emitting device layer 400 may be better bonded.
In this embodiment, the adhesive material 500 includes propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, polyisobutylene, butyl rubber, microcrystalline wax, and chloroform. The propylene glycol methyl ether acetate is a solvent, and may be used to dissolve other substances in the viscous material 500. The addition of chloroform can better improve the adhesion between the adhesive material 500 and the light emitting device layer 400, and in particular, can enhance the adhesion between the adhesive material 500 and the hollow injection layer in the light emitting device layer 400.
In this embodiment, the adhesive material 500 is added during the preparation process according to the mass fraction of the content: 54% propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, 23% polyisobutylene, 18% butyl rubber, 3% microcrystalline wax, and 2% chloroform. After filling the components in the above proportion into the second opening 302, the solvent of the viscous material 500, that is, the propylene glycol methyl ether acetate may be separated out after drying under reduced pressure, and finally the remaining propylene glycol methyl ether acetate may account for less than 10% of the original mass fraction. This reduces the energy loss and difficulty of the drying process, and appropriately increases the flexibility of the adhesive material 500, thereby better improving the stress when the display panel 100 is distorted.
In this embodiment, the second opening 302 is disposed in the non-display area of the pixel defining layer 300, refer to fig. 2. The second openings 302 are located in the non-display area of the display panel 100, so that the opening ratio of the display panel 100 is not occupied, the non-display area is distributed around the display area, the second openings 302 and the adhesive material 500 are also distributed around the display area, and when the display panel 100 is curled, the stress can be better dispersed, the adhesion is enhanced, and the reliability between the film layers of the display panel 100 is improved.
In this embodiment, the second opening 302 is disposed between any two adjacent black matrixes 310 in the non-display area, referring to fig. 2. The black matrixes 310 are used for shielding non-display devices such as signal lines, and the second openings 302 are arranged between any two adjacent black matrixes 310, so that the non-display device area, the array substrate 200 and the light-emitting device layer 400 can be better bonded tightly, and separation is avoided when the display panel 100 is curled.
In this embodiment, the second opening 302 is disposed between any two adjacent spacers 320 in the non-display area, as shown in fig. 2. The spacers 320 are used for relieving stress when the display panel 100 is pressed, and the second opening 302 is disposed between any two adjacent spacers 320, and the two spacers are matched with each other, so that the non-display device region, the array substrate 200 and the light-emitting device layer 400 can be better 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 referring to fig. 2, the black matrix can better play a role in shading light and prevent color mixing of the light-emitting areas.
In this embodiment, the shape of the opening of the second opening 302 in the pixel area may be a closed pattern, including a circle, a rectangle, and a triangle, which is not limited herein. Wherein, due to the characteristic of the circle, the area of the circle is the largest, and when the shape of the opening is circular, referring to fig. 2, 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 emissive 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 increases, the adhesive capability of the adhesive material 500 increases, that is, when the display panel 100 is in operation, the temperature of the display panel 100 increases, so that in the normal operating range of the display panel 100, as the operating strength of the display panel 100 increases, the higher the temperature, the stronger the adhesive capability of the adhesive material 500, the better the adhesive effect, and the stronger and less likely the film layers in the display panel 100 to separate.
According to the embodiment, the adhesive material is filled between the array substrate and the light-emitting device layer, and the adhesive material is used for bonding the array substrate and the light-emitting device layer, so that the technical problem that the display panel is abnormal in display due to the fact that the film layer is separated due to insufficient adhesive force between the array substrate and the light-emitting device layer in the curling process of the display panel is avoided.
Example two
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the present embodiment is the same as or similar to the first embodiment, except that:
The tacky material 500 includes propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, polyisobutylene, butyl rubber, microcrystalline wax, chloroform, and black dye.
In this embodiment, the second opening 302 and the adhesive material 500 serve as a black matrix of the non-display area. By adding the black dye, the black matrix 310 in the non-display area is replaced by the second opening 302 and the adhesive material 500 added with the black dye, refer to fig. 5 specifically, so that the process of manufacturing the black matrix 310 is reduced, and the adhesive material 500 can not only play a role in shading the original black matrix 310, but also play a role in bonding the array substrate 200 and the light-emitting device layer 400.
In this embodiment, the adhesive material 500 is added in the preparation process according to the mass fraction of the content: 34% of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, 23% of polyisobutylene, 18% of butyl rubber, 3% of microcrystalline wax, 2% of chloroform and 20% of black dye. After filling the components in the above proportion into the second opening 302, the solvent of the viscous material 500, that is, the propylene glycol methyl ether acetate may be separated out after drying under reduced pressure, and finally the remaining propylene glycol methyl ether acetate may account for less than 10% of the original mass fraction. This reduces the energy loss and difficulty of the drying process, and appropriately increases the flexibility of the adhesive material 500, thereby better improving the stress when the display panel 100 is distorted.
In this example, the 20% black dye may include 10% carbon black, 5% dispersant, 2% crosslinked polymer, and 3% crosslinking monomer. The proportion can ensure that the color of the adhesive material 500 is blacked to achieve the shading effect of the original black matrix 310, and the bonding capability of the adhesive material 500 is not greatly changed.
In this embodiment, the dispersant may include methylpentanol. The crosslinked polymer may include dicumyl peroxide. The crosslinking monomer may include hydroxyethyl methacrylate.
According to the embodiment, the black dye is added into the adhesive material, so that the adhesive material replaces the original black matrix, the process of the black matrix is reduced, the adhesive material can play a role in not only playing a role in shading the original black matrix, but also playing a role in bonding the array substrate and the light-emitting device layer, and the technical problem that the display panel is abnormal in display due to film layer separation caused by insufficient adhesion between the array substrate and the light-emitting device layer in the crimping process of the display panel is avoided.

The spacers 320 are used for relieving stress when the display panel 100 is pressed, and the second opening 302 is disposed between any two adjacent spacers 320, and the two spacers are matched with each other, so that the non-display device region, the array substrate 200 and the light-emitting device layer 400 can be better bonded tightly, and separation is avoided when the display panel 100 is curled.
