Before explaining the present invention in detail, some contents of the present invention are explained first to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical aspects of the present invention.
Display area/non-display area: a display panel is a panel cut from a display panel mother board; the display panel includes an active area for forming light emitting elements, and a peripheral area where wiring lines for providing signal lines for display are not allowed to be cut off. For example, a display panel may include a display Area AA (Active Area, AA) for forming a light emitting element later, and may further include a non-display Area NAA (including an Area where a driving circuit and a chip are provided) for forming a display panel later.
TFT (Thin-film transistor) array: for controlling each pixel (light emitting element), it is possible to control the emission of each pixel (light emitting element), and also to control the amount by which each pixel emits. Therefore, the film layer of the TFT array segment is necessarily present in the display area, but the film layer of the TFT array segment is not completely located only in the display area AA, and due to the different effects of the film layer, a part of the film layer is formed and also present in the non-display area NAA, for example, in some embodiments, the film layer of the buffer layer, the interlayer insulating layer, the passivation layer, and the like, and may be present in both the display area AA and the non-display area NAA.
Hereinafter, a display panel in an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a display panel in an embodiment of the present application; fig. 2 illustrates a schematic cross-sectional structure of B-B of the display panel shown in fig. 1. For the purpose of illustration, the drawings show only the structures associated with embodiments of the invention.
Referring to the drawings, a display panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a substrate 10, and the substrate 10 includes a display area AA and a non-display area NAA, and the non-display area NAA is disposed around the display area AA.
Specifically, the substrate 10 may include or be an insulating substrate made of glass, quartz, ceramic, and/or plastic, etc., but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. The substrate 10 may include or be made of a metal substrate made of stainless steel or the like, or the substrate 10 may include or be made of any other suitable material available in the field of display devices. Preferably, the substrate 10 is a glass substrate.
In some embodiments, the display area AA has a rectangular shape, and the non-display area NAA is configured to be disposed around the rectangular display area AA. Of course, in other embodiments, the shape and arrangement of the display area AA and the non-display area NAA include, but are not limited to, the above-described examples, for example, when the display panel 100 is used for a wearable device worn on a user, the display area AA may have a circular shape like a watch; when the display panel 100 is used in a vehicle, the display area AA and the non-display area NAA may take a circular shape, a polygonal shape, or other shapes, for example.
The display area AA displays an image by pixels including at least light emitting elements, and the non-display area NAA is provided with metal traces, such as scan lines, data lines, and common electrode lines, connected to the pixels, and pads 90 for respectively providing driving signals to the scan lines, the data lines, and the common electrode lines.
In some embodiments, the display area AA is displayed by pixels arranged in an array, and each pixel may include a plurality of sub-pixels. The substrate 10 has a plurality of sub-pixel regions corresponding to the aforementioned sub-pixels, for example, the substrate 12 has a first sub-pixel region emitting red light, a second sub-pixel region emitting blue light, and a third sub-pixel region emitting green light. The first sub-pixel region, the second sub-pixel region and the third sub-pixel region of one group can form a pixel region.
It is understood that in other embodiments, each pixel region may also include other sub-pixel regions, which are not limited herein, for example, a fourth sub-pixel region emitting white light may also be included.
It is readily understood that a sub-pixel is the smallest unit for representing one color. Each sub-pixel region may be correspondingly provided with a driving layer, a pixel electrode, and a light emitting element, the driving layer being configured to be supplied to the pixel electrode in response to a scan signal from the scan line and a data signal from the data line, thereby controlling the sub-pixels to emit light.
It is easily understood that the light emitting element and the driving layer are disposed on the substrate 10, and an additional layer such as a buffer layer 20 may be formed on the substrate 10 before the driving layer is formed to prevent impurities from penetrating into a semiconductor layer of the driving layer. The buffer layer 20 may be formed on the entire surface of the substrate 10, or may be formed by patterning. The buffer layer 20 may include an inorganic insulating material such as SiNx or SiOx, and may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure including the above inorganic insulating material.
The driving layer (thin-film transistor layer) may include a semiconductor layer, a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode. The semiconductor layer may be formed of an amorphous silicon layer, a metal oxide, or a polysilicon layer, or may be formed of an organic semiconductor material. In some embodiments, the semiconductor layer includes a channel region and source and drain regions doped with a dopant.
The semiconductor layer may be covered with a gate insulating layer 30, and a first metal layer (including a gate electrode and a capacitor bottom plate, etc.) may be disposed on the gate insulating layer 30. In general, the gate insulating layer 30 may cover the entire surface of the substrate 10. In some embodiments, the gate insulating layer 30 may be formed by patterning. The gate insulating layer 30 may be formed of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or other insulating organic or inorganic materials in consideration of adhesion to adjacent layers, formability of a stack target layer, and surface flatness. The first metal layer may be covered by a dielectric layer formed of silicon oxide, silicon nitride and/or other suitable insulating organic or inorganic material, and the second metal layer (including the capacitor top plate, etc.) is disposed on the dielectric layer 40 and covered by an interlayer insulating layer 50 formed of silicon oxide, silicon nitride and/or other suitable insulating organic or inorganic material. A portion of the gate insulating layer 30, the dielectric layer 40, and the interlayer insulating layer 50 may be removed, and a contact hole may be formed to expose a predetermined region of the semiconductor layer after the removal. The source and drain electrodes may contact the semiconductor layer via the contact holes.
Since the driving layer has a complicated layer structure, the top surface thereof may be uneven, and the display panel further includes a planarization layer to form a sufficiently flat top surface. After forming the planarization layer, a via hole may be formed in the planarization layer to expose the source and drain electrodes of the driving layer.
In some embodiments, the organic electroluminescent display panel further includes a pixel defining layer formed on the planarization layer and exposing at least a portion of each pixel electrode. For example, the pixel defining layer may cover at least a portion of an edge of each pixel electrode, thereby exposing at least a portion of each pixel electrode. Thus, the pixel defining layer defines a plurality of pixel defining openings and spacing regions located between the pixel defining openings, a middle part or all parts of the pixel electrode are exposed through the pixel defining openings, and the light emitting element is arranged in the pixel defining openings.
The cathode opposite to the pixel electrode can cover the whole surface of the pixel defining layer and can be made of metals with lower power function, such as silver, lithium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, aluminum, indium and the like, or metal compounds or alloy materials. In some embodiments, the light emitting elements in the pixel defining openings can be covered by evaporation, and the spacing regions between the pixel defining openings can be defined by evaporation.
Specifically, for example, a driving layer, a pixel electrode, a pixel defining layer, a cathode layer, a capacitor plate, and a metal wiring for forming are formed in the display area AA; for example, the buffer layer 20, the gate insulating layer 30, the dielectric layer 40, the interlayer insulating layer 50, and the planarization layer (passivation layer) may be inorganic functional film layers formed of inorganic materials, which cover the display area AA and the non-display area NAA.
Referring to fig. 2 again, the display panel 100 further includes a frame sealing adhesive 60, and the frame sealing adhesive 60 is disposed in the non-display area NAA. Specifically, the frame sealing adhesive 60 forms a packaging region FR toward the projection region of the substrate 10.
Specifically, the frame sealing adhesive 60 may adopt a conventionally used glass frit, such as at least one of Al2O3, SnO, TeO2, MgO, CaO, ZnO, TiO2, WO3, Bi2O3, Fe2O3, and CuO, which is not specifically limited herein.
The display panel 100 further includes an encapsulation cover 70, and the encapsulation cover 70 covers the display area AA to encapsulate the display area AA, so as to prevent external moisture or oxygen from penetrating into the light emitting elements susceptible to the external moisture or oxygen. Specifically, the frit needs to be melted by laser, so that the frame sealing adhesive 60 adheres to the substrate 10 and the package cover plate 70 to realize the package.
Specifically, the package cover plate 70 may be made of glass, quartz, plastic, metal, or the like. Preferably, the package cover 70 is a glass cover.
In the embodiment of the invention, the display panel 100 further includes an auxiliary metal layer 80, the auxiliary metal layer 80 is disposed in the non-display area NAA, and an overlapping region exists between a forward projection of the sealant 60 toward the substrate 10 and a forward projection of the auxiliary metal layer 80 toward the substrate 10.
Because the frit needs to be subjected to laser melting in the encapsulation region FR, the overlapping region is formed between the orthographic projection of the frame sealing glue 60 towards the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the auxiliary metal layer 80 towards the substrate 10, so that the auxiliary metal layer 80 can serve as a heat conductor to more uniformly release the heat of the laser to the frit, the frit is uniformly melted, and the encapsulation effect of the display panel 100 is provided.
Further, the non-display area NAA of the substrate 10 is provided with a metal trace, and an orthogonal projection of the metal trace toward the substrate 10 and an orthogonal projection of the frame sealing adhesive 60 toward the substrate 10 have no overlapping region. The metal routing comprises a scanning line, a data line and a common electrode line. Therefore, no metal wiring is arranged below the glass material during laser, so that heat generated by laser cannot influence the metal wiring.
Specifically, the auxiliary metal layer 80 and the metal traces may be formed simultaneously when patterned by an etching process, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the auxiliary metal layer 80 and improves the manufacturing efficiency of the display panel 100.
It should be understood that the non-display area NAA is provided with the aforementioned bonding pad 90, and the bonding pad 90 is connected to the metal trace, so that in order to avoid the influence on the bonding pad during laser irradiation, the projection area of the frame sealing adhesive 60 toward the substrate should also be disposed away from the bonding pad 90.
The orthographic projection of the outer edge of the frame sealing adhesive 60 toward the substrate 10 is located on the side of the outer edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 facing the orthographic projection of the substrate 10 away from the display area AA.
It should be understood that the outer edge of the sealant 60 refers to an edge of the sealant 60 away from the display area AA, and the outer edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 refers to an edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 away from the display area AA.
It should be understood that the non-display region NAA between the outer edge of the sealant 60 and the outer edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 should have a support structure for supporting the sealant 60, which may be the substrate 10, or the substrate 10, the gate insulating layer 20, the dielectric layer 30, the interlayer insulating layer 40 and the planarization layer.
Therefore, the orthographic projection of the outer edge of the frame sealing adhesive 60 towards the substrate 10 is positioned on one side of the orthographic projection of the outer edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 towards the substrate 10, which is far away from the display area AA, i.e. the auxiliary metal layer 80 is not exposed outside the frame sealing adhesive 60, and the outer side of the auxiliary metal layer 80 is also partially blocked by the frame sealing adhesive 60, so that static electricity cannot be introduced into the auxiliary metal layer 80 from the outer side of the frame sealing adhesive 60 in the process of carrying out static electricity test on a display screen or using the display screen, thereby damaging electronic elements, and therefore, the antistatic capability of a packaging part is improved.
As a preferred embodiment, the metal trace includes a voltage-stabilized signal line electrically connected to the auxiliary metal layer 80.
Note that the voltage stabilization signal line is a signal line that can supply a stable voltage to the auxiliary metal layer 80, and specifically, Vdd, Vss, Vref, or the like.
Because the auxiliary metal layer 80 occupies a large area of the display panel 100, and because the auxiliary metal layer is made of metal, charges can be accumulated in the manufacturing, transporting or using processes of the display panel 100, and the charges accumulated in the auxiliary metal layer 80 can be released through the voltage-stabilizing signal line by arranging the auxiliary metal layer 80 to be connected with the voltage-stabilizing signal line.
In some embodiments, the metal trace is located between the auxiliary metal layer 80 and the display area AA, the voltage-stabilizing signal line is located at the outermost side of the metal trace away from the non-display area NAA, and the auxiliary metal layer 80 and the voltage-stabilizing signal line may be overlapped at the edges of the two. The edge lap joint mode is easy to realize, and the manufacturing process is simplified.
In some embodiments, the distance between the orthographic projection of the outer edge of the sealant 60 toward the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the outer edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 toward the substrate 10 is 10% to 50% of the width of the sealant 60. Specifically, the width direction of the sealant 60 is the left-right direction shown in fig. 2, and in another embodiment, a distance between an orthogonal projection of the outer edge of the sealant 60 toward the substrate 10 and an orthogonal projection of the outer edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 toward the substrate 10 is greater than 50 μm. The inventor finds that if the distance between the outer edge of the frame sealing adhesive 60 and the outer edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 is too large, the encapsulation effect of the frame sealing adhesive 60 is affected, so that the distance between the orthographic projection of the outer edge of the frame sealing adhesive 60 towards the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the outer edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 towards the substrate 10 is 10% -50% of the width of the frame sealing adhesive 60 or the distance is more than 50 micrometers, and the antistatic capability of the edge can be improved.
In some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes a buffer layer 20 and a plurality of functional film layers sequentially disposed on the substrate, the auxiliary metal layer 80 is disposed between two adjacent functional film layers, and the sealant 60 is disposed on a side of the plurality of functional film layers away from the substrate 10, wherein the functional film layer is one of the gate insulating layer 30, the dielectric layer 40, the interlayer insulating layer 50, and the planarization layer. Therefore, the auxiliary metal layer 80 can be fabricated in the same layer as the first metal layer, the second metal layer or the third metal layer, which simplifies the fabrication process of the display panel 100.
Preferably, the auxiliary metal layer 80 is located between the gate insulating layer 30 and the dielectric layer 40. That is, the auxiliary metal layer 80 can be fabricated on the same layer as the first metal layer, and compared with other positions, the auxiliary metal layer 80 is located between the gate insulating layer 30 and the dielectric layer 40, that is, located at a position farthest from the frame sealing adhesive 60, and in the laser process, the auxiliary metal layer 80 can transfer heat to the upper multi-layer film structure, so as to increase the bonding force between the upper multi-layer films and the frame sealing adhesive 60.
In some embodiments, at least a portion of the surface of the sealant 60 contacting the functional film layer is a non-flat surface.
For example, in some embodiments, the uneven surface may be a three-dimensional curved surface with undulations, and the three-dimensional curved surface with undulations may be a three-dimensional curved surface with regular undulations or a three-dimensional curved surface with irregular undulations. Illustratively, the three-dimensional curved surface may be a three-dimensional curved surface having an arc-shaped undulation, a three-dimensional curved surface having a sawtooth undulation, a three-dimensional curved surface having a square undulation, or a three-dimensional curved surface having a random undulation.
In other embodiments, the non-planar surface may exhibit a rough surface having at least one of protrusions or recesses, for example, the protrusions may embody at least one of stalactite-like peak protrusions, hills, particulate rocks, or other regular and irregular protrusions, and the recesses exhibit at least one of holes, grooves, or cracks. It is easy to understand that since the frame sealing adhesive 60 can be formed by using the laser melting of the glass frit, after the rough surface is obtained by surface treatment of the functional film layer, the glass frit can be filled between two adjacent convex portions and into the concave portions of the functional film layer with the rough surface, and the two adjacent convex portions and the concave portions can be embedded with each other after melting. Thus, the bonding force is stronger, and the packaging reliability of the frame sealing glue 60 is improved.
Thus, the contact area between the frame sealing glue 60 and the functional film layer is increased, and the bonding force between the frame sealing glue 60 and the substrate 10 is improved, so that the packaging reliability of the frame sealing glue 60 is improved.
It can be understood that the shape of the three-dimensional curved surface may be simple or complex regular undulations, or simple or complex irregular undulations, and the purpose of increasing the bonding force between the frame sealing adhesive 60 and the substrate 10 is to be achieved.
The cross-sectional shape of the recess in the second direction may be a circular hole shape, for example, specifically, a perfect circle or an ellipse, and may also be a rectangular or polygonal hole. In other embodiments, the recess may be a groove extending along the second direction, and the cross-sectional shape of the recess in the vertical direction may be, for example, a rectangle, a square, a regular trapezoid, an inverted trapezoid, a polygon, or a combination of partial shapes thereof.
In some embodiments, the cross-sectional size of the recess gradually increases toward the substrate 10 in the vertical direction. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the recess is a regular trapezoid, and the cross-sectional size of the recess gradually increases from the upper end to the lower end, and may be formed by a patterning process. Thus, when the frame sealing adhesive 60 is embedded in the recess, the frame sealing adhesive cannot be separated due to the limitation of the side wall of the recess, and the bonding force between the frame sealing adhesive 60 and the interlayer insulating layer 50 is improved.
It is understood that the patterning process may form the aforementioned recess by exposure through a mask and then development; of course, in other embodiments, the recess may be formed by dry etching, which is not limited herein.
In some embodiments, the sidewalls of the recess are non-planar surfaces. For example, the side walls of the recess may exhibit an undulating three-dimensional surface, a surface with projections or recesses, or be stepped, etc. Thus, the contact area between the frame sealing adhesive 60 and the interlayer insulating layer 50 is increased, and the bonding force between the frame sealing adhesive 60 and the interlayer insulating layer is further improved, so that the packaging reliability of the frame sealing adhesive 60 is improved.
In particular, it has been found that the height of the protruding portions or the depth of the recessed portions fitted into each other directly affects the bonding force between the film layers, and when the height of the protruding portions or the depth of the recessed portions fitted into each other is too small, the bonding force between the protruding portions and the recessed portions is not increased significantly. When the height of the protruding portions or the depth of the recessed portions fitted to each other is too large, physical properties of both are affected, and even a defect is caused.
Specifically, in one embodiment, the non-display area NAA between the outer edge of the frame sealing adhesive 60 and the outer edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 has a first via hole 11 penetrating through the multi-layer functional film layer, and the frame sealing adhesive 60 covers the first via hole 11 and contacts the buffer layer 20. In addition, the buffer layer 20 is made of an inorganic insulating material, and the bonding force between the frame sealing glue 60 and the inorganic material is better than that between the frame sealing glue 60 and the inorganic material because the buffer layer 20 is made of an organic material, so that the first via hole 11 penetrating through the functional film layer is formed, the frame sealing glue 60 is in contact with the buffer layer 20, the packaging reliability of the frame sealing glue 60 can be improved, and the packaging effect of the display panel 100 is better. Further, the first via hole 11 includes a plurality of first via holes 11, and the plurality of first via holes 11 are arranged at intervals.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3 again, in other embodiments, the auxiliary metal layer 80 includes a plurality of through holes 81, two adjacent through holes are disposed at intervals, the non-display area NAA has second via holes 12 penetrating through the functional film layer and the through holes 8, and the sealant FR covers the second via holes 12 and contacts the buffer layer 20. Similarly, the second via hole 12 has a depth of a plurality of functional film layers, which can improve the bonding force between the two, and in addition, since the buffer layer 20 is made of an inorganic insulating material, the bonding force between the frame sealing adhesive 60 and the inorganic material is better than that of an organic material, the second via hole 12 penetrating through the functional film layers and the through hole 81 is formed, so that the frame sealing adhesive 60 contacts with the buffer layer, which can improve the packaging reliability of the frame sealing adhesive 60, and the packaging effect of the display panel 100 is better. Further, the second via 12 includes a plurality of second vias 12, and the plurality of second vias 12 are arranged at intervals. In other embodiments, the package region 40 may also have a combination of the first via 11 and the second via 12.
Based on the same inventive concept, the application also provides a display device comprising the display panel.
The display device can be any product or part with a touch display function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a television, a display, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device or an internet of things device.
In the display panel 100 and the display device, since the orthographic projection of the outer edge of the frame sealing adhesive 60 toward the substrate 10 is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the outer edge of the auxiliary metal layer 80 toward the substrate 10 away from the display area AA, that is, the auxiliary metal layer 80 is not exposed outside the frame sealing adhesive 60, and the outer side of the auxiliary metal layer 80 is also partially blocked by the frame sealing adhesive 60, static electricity cannot be introduced into the auxiliary metal layer 80 from the outer side of the frame sealing adhesive 60 during a static electricity test on a display screen or a use of the display screen, so that electronic elements are damaged, and therefore, the antistatic capability of a packaging part is improved.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
