The embodiment of the invention provides a display panel 100 and a display device. The display panel 100 and the display device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 is a top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the display panel in a light-shielding layer region, the cross-sectional view being taken along a direction perpendicular to the display panel. An embodiment of the invention provides a display panel 100, which includes a first substrate 10, a second substrate 20 and a display medium layer 30 sandwiched between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20. The Display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be a Liquid Crystal Display panel 100 (LCD), and the corresponding Display medium layer 30 is a Liquid Crystal layer, where the Liquid Crystal layer includes Liquid Crystal molecules, and the Liquid Crystal molecules may be in a rod-like structure. The display panel 100 is used as a liquid crystal display panel for explanation.
The first substrate 10 includes a first substrate 11 and a planarization layer 12 on the first substrate 11 side, and in this case, the planarization layer 12 is on the surface on the first substrate 11 side. The second substrate 20 is located on a side of the planarization layer 12 away from the first substrate 11, the second substrate 20 includes a second substrate 21, a pixel driving circuit 22, a color filter unit 23, and a light shielding layer 29, and the pixel driving circuit 22, the color filter unit 23, and the light shielding layer 29 are located on a side of the second substrate 21 facing the first substrate 10. Wherein the material of the planarization layer 12 includes an inorganic material, and the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is 1.3 or more and 1.8 or less.
Further, the first substrate 10 further includes a first alignment layer 101 located on a side of the planarization layer 12 away from the first substrate 11, the second substrate 20 further includes a color filter unit 23 and a second alignment layer 201 located on a side of the light shielding layer 29 away from the second substrate 21, and the first alignment layer 101 and the second alignment layer 201 cooperate with each other to drive the liquid crystal molecules to normally turn over.
According to the display panel 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the display panel 100 includes the first substrate 10, the second substrate 20 and the display medium layer 30 sandwiched between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, the second substrate 20 includes the second substrate 21, the pixel driving circuit 22, the color filter unit 23 and the light shielding layer 29, at this time, the pixel driving circuit 22, the color filter unit 23 and the light shielding layer 29 are located on the same substrate, so that the display panel 100 of the embodiment of the present invention uses the COA technology, when the display panel 100 is bent, the relative position relationship between the metal film layer structure in the pixel driving circuit 22 and the light shielding layer 29 is not affected by the relative displacement between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, and the metal film layer structure located on the same substrate (the second substrate 20), the deformation degree of the color filter unit 23 and the light shielding layer 29 under the same bending force are close, so that the metal film layer structure is still shielded by the light shielding layer 29 in the bending process, thereby reducing the risk of exposing the metal film structure in the opening area LA, and effectively improving the metal light leakage phenomenon. Compared with the prior art in which the metal light leakage is improved by increasing the coverage area of the light shielding layer 29, by adopting the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the coverage area of the light shielding layer 29 does not need to be adjusted, so that the display panel 100 still maintains a high aperture ratio and has a better display performance.
Further, the first substrate 10 includes a first substrate 11 and a planarization layer 12 located on one side of the first substrate 11, and the formation of the film layer structure such as an alignment layer is facilitated by the provision of the planarization layer 12. When the first substrate 11 is a glass substrate, the refractive index of the glass substrate is about 1.52, since the planarization layer 12 directly contacts the first substrate 11 in the embodiment of the present invention, if the refractive indexes of the planarization layer 12 and the first substrate 11 are different, light inside the display panel 100 or external light is reflected at the boundary between the two, and at this time, if the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is less than 1.3 or greater than 1.8, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is greatly different from the refractive index of the first substrate 11, which easily causes a large reflectivity at the interface between the first substrate 11 and the planarization layer 12, and a large number of light reflections are generated, which is not beneficial to improving the display effect of the display panel 100, therefore, by setting the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 to be greater than or equal to 1.3 and less than or equal to 1.8, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is made to be close to the refractive index of the first substrate 11, the reflectivity at the interface between the first substrate 11 and the planarization layer 12 can be effectively reduced, reflection of external ambient light can be reduced, and the display definition of the display panel 100 can be improved.
Meanwhile, since the material of the planarization layer 12 in the embodiment of the present invention includes an inorganic material, and the planarization layer 12 may be in direct contact with the first substrate 11, compared to the conventional display panel using the COA technology in which the material of the planarization layer 12 is an organic material, the planarization layer 12 in the embodiment of the present invention may be formed at a high temperature during the film forming process, so as to improve the compactness of the formed planarization layer 12, effectively prevent external moisture from entering the inside of the display panel 100, and improve the reliability of the display panel 100.
In order to further reduce the reflectivity at the interface of the first substrate 11 and the planarization layer 12, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is prevented from being too large or too small, resulting in a larger reflectivity at the interface of the first substrate 11 and the planarization layer 12, and in some embodiments, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is greater than or equal to 1.4 and less than or equal to 1.6. In practical applications, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 can be set according to user requirements, for example, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is 1.4, 1.5, 1.52, or 1.6. Optionally, when the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is 1.52 or 1.5, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is the same as the refractive index of the first substrate 11, and at this time, light emitted from the inside of the display panel 100 and light from the outside hardly reflect when passing through the planarization layer 12 on the first substrate 11, so that the reflection problem of the display panel 100 can be well improved.
Calculation formula according to reflectivity R = (n) a -n b ) 2 /(n a +n b ) 2 Where R is the reflectivity at the interface of the two film structures, n a Is the refractive index of one of the film structures, n b Is the refractive index of the other film layer structure. As can be seen from the calculation formula of the reflectance, when there is a large difference, particularly a large difference, between the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 and the refractive index of the first substrate 11, there is reflection of light at the interface between the planarization layer 12 and the first substrate 11. For example, when the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is 1.9 and the refractive index of the first substrate 11 is 1.5, the reflectance at the interface between the planarization layer 12 and the first substrate 11 is 1.4% at this time, and the reflectance at the interface between the two is large, as can be calculated from the calculation formula of the reflectance. To improve the reflection problem, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is modified in some embodiments. For example, when the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 away from the first substrate 11 is 1.9, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 close to the first substrate 11 is 1.7, and the refractive index of the first substrate 11 is 1.5, the reflectance of the planarization layer 12 having a different refractive index at this time is 0.3%, the reflectance between the planarization layer 12 close to the first substrate 11 and the first substrate 11 is 0.3%, and the reflectance between the entire planarization layer 12 and the first substrate 11 is 0.6%, respectively, and thus the reflection problem of the display panel 100 can be effectively improved by improving the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 in a gradient manner.
Therefore, in order to further optimize the reflectivity of the first substrate 10, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 increases or decreases in a direction away from the first substrate 11. At this time, starting with the refractive index of the first substrate 11, the refractive indices of the first substrate 11 and the planarization layer 12 increase or decrease in a direction away from the first substrate 11. Through the arrangement, the refractive index between the first substrate 11 and the planarization layer 12 is reasonably changed, and the condition of abrupt change of the refractive index is avoided, so that the reflectivity of the display panel 100 is effectively reduced.
Alternatively, in order to achieve that the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 increases or decreases in the direction away from the first substrate 11, the planarization layer 12 may be doped with particles capable of changing the refractive index, for example, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 may be changed by adjusting the doping concentration of the particles capable of changing the refractive index of the planarization layer 12, or a plurality of planarization sublayers with increasing or decreasing refractive index may be provided to optimize the refractive index of the first substrate 10.
It is to be understood that the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 may increase or decrease in a direction away from the first substrate 11, and the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 may increase linearly, decrease linearly, increase broken line, decrease broken line, increase curved line, and decrease curved line in a direction away from the first substrate 11.
The structure in which the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 increases or decreases in a direction away from the first substrate 11 is similar, and the description is given by taking the example in which the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 decreases in a direction away from the first substrate 11. Referring to fig. 3 to 5, fig. 3 is a graph showing the relationship between the refractive index of the planarization layer and the distance of the planarization layer in the direction away from the first substrate in one embodiment of the present invention, fig. 4 is a graph showing the relationship between the refractive index of the planarization layer and the distance of the planarization layer in the direction away from the first substrate in another embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the refractive index of the planarization layer and the distance of the planarization layer in the direction away from the first substrate in yet another embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 3 to 5, an xy coordinate system is established with the distance of the planarization layer 12 in the direction away from the first substrate 11 as the abscissa, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 as the ordinate, and the refractive index of the first substrate 11 as the origin of coordinates. As can be seen from fig. 3, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 decreases linearly in a direction away from the first substrate 11, and the refractive index of the film structure in the thickness direction of the planarization layer 12 and the refractive index of the first substrate 11 are in uniform transition, which effectively optimizes the reflectivity of the first substrate 10. As can be seen from fig. 4, the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 decreases in a stepwise manner in a direction away from the first substrate 11, which can reduce the interface reflectivity between the entire planarization layer 12 and the first substrate 11. As can be seen from fig. 5, the planarization layer 12 is curved and decreases in the direction away from the first substrate 11, which also reduces the interface reflectivity between the entire planarization layer 12 and the first substrate 11. By reasonably setting the relationship between the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 and the refractive index of the first substrate 11, the refractive index between the first substrate 11 and the planarization layer 12 is increased or decreased, and there is no abrupt change in the refractive index, and compared with the case where the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 is fixed and there is a difference between the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 and the refractive index of the first substrate 11, the setting method of the embodiment of the invention can effectively reduce the reflectivity of the first substrate 10, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. In order to achieve that the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 increases or decreases in a direction away from the first substrate 11 to optimize the reflectivity of the first substrate 10, in some embodiments, the planarization layer 12 includes a first sublayer 121 and a second sublayer 122, the first sublayer 121 is located on a surface of the first substrate 11 facing the second substrate 20, the second sublayer 122 is located on a surface of the first sublayer 121 facing away from the first substrate 11, and the refractive index of the first sublayer 121 is between the refractive index of the first substrate 11 and the refractive index of the second sublayer 122.
Wherein, when the refractive index of the first substrate 11 is n 3 The refractive index of the first sub-layer 121 is n 4 The refractive index of the second sub-layer 122 is n 5 In a specific embodiment, the refractive index relationship among the first substrate 11, the first sublayer 121, and the second sublayer 122 may be n 3 ≥n 4 ≥n 5 Or n is 3 ≤n 4 ≤n 5
In order to better understand that the refractive index of the planarization layer 12 increases or decreases in a direction away from the first substrate 11, so as to reduce the reflectivity at the interface between the first substrate 11 and the planarization layer 12 of the display panel 100, the planarization layer 12 including the first sub-layer 121 and the second sub-layer 122 is described below with reference to a comparative example.
In the comparative example, the refractive index of the first substrate 11, the refractive index of the first sublayer 121 and the refractive index of the second sublayer 122 are abrupt in a direction away from the first substrate 11, i.e. the refraction of the first substrate 11The index of refraction of the first sublayer 121 and the index of refraction of the second sublayer 122 do not increase or decrease in a direction away from the first substrate 11. Wherein, in the comparative example, the refractive index of the first substrate 11 is n 3 =1.5, refractive index of the first sublayer 121 is n 4 =1.9, refractive index of the second sublayer 122 is n 5 If =1.4, the reflectance R at the interface between the first substrate 11 and the first sublayer 121 is calculated by the reflectance calculation formula 1 =1.4%, reflectivity R at the interface of the first sublayer 121 and the second sublayer 122 1 =2.3%。
In the embodiment of the invention, the refractive index of the first substrate 11, the refractive index of the first sub-layer 121 and the refractive index of the second sub-layer 122 are increased or decreased in a direction away from the first substrate 11. Wherein when the refractive index of the first substrate 11 is n 3 =1.5, refractive index of the first sublayer 121 is n 4 =1.5, refractive index of the second sublayer 122 is n 5 If =1.4, the reflectance R at the interface between the first substrate 11 and the first sublayer 121 is calculated by the reflectance calculation formula 1 =0%, reflectivity R at the interface of the first sublayer 121 and the second sublayer 122 1 =0.1%. As can be seen from comparison with the comparative example, the setting manner of the refractive indexes of the planarization layer 12 and the first substrate 11 in the embodiment of the present invention can effectively reduce the reflectivity at the interfaces between the first sublayer 121 and the second sublayer 122 and at the interfaces between the first sublayer 121 and the first substrate 11, so as to reduce the reflection of light at each interface, and effectively improve the display effect and the definition of the display panel 100.
When the display panel 100 has a good display effect, the user wants that the display panel 100 can maintain the good display effect for a long time, that is, the display panel 100 needs to have a good reliability, and especially when the display panel 100 is an in-vehicle display panel 100, the reliability of the display panel 100 is required to be higher. In some display panels 100 applying the COA technology, the planarization layer 12 disposed on one side of the first substrate 11 is an Over Coat (OC) layer, and the OC layer is an organic material layer, and when the display panel is exposed to a high temperature or high humidity environment for a long time, the water absorption property of the OC layer is likely to cause foreign matters or bubbles (bubbles) inside the liquid crystal display panel 100.
To solve the above problem, in some embodiments, the material of the planarization layer 12 includes an inorganic material, and the material of the planarization layer 12 includes at least one of silicon nitride (SiNx) and silicon oxide (SiOx), where x is adjustable in a certain range, for example, x may be 2. Through the above arrangement, the planarization layer 12 including the inorganic material can directly contact with the inorganic glass (the first substrate 11), and the embodiment of the invention utilizes the COA technology, so that the planarization layer 12 can be prevented from affecting other film structures, for example, when the color resist layer contacts with other organic film structures, the film temperature cannot be too high, so that the planarization layer 12 can be formed into a film at a high temperature during the film forming process, the compactness of the formed planarization layer 12 is improved, an effect of effectively preventing external water vapor from entering the inside of the display panel 100 is achieved, and the reliability of the display panel 100 is improved.

In some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes a frame sealing adhesive 40, the frame sealing adhesive 40 is disposed between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 and around the periphery of the display area AA, and the frame sealing adhesive 40 is disposed on the display panel 100, so that the frame sealing adhesive 40 can block external moisture from entering the display panel 100. However, in some display panels 100, external moisture may enter the inside of the sealant 40 through the surface of the sealant 40 contacting the first substrate 10 and/or the second substrate 20, which may cause foreign matter or bubbles to be generated inside the display panel 100.
In order to solve the above problem, the display panel 100 has a display area AA and a non-display area NA surrounding the display area AA, the planarization layer 12 includes a first groove 123 located in the non-display area NA, the first groove 123 extends from the surface of the planarization layer 12 away from the first substrate 11 to a direction close to the first substrate 11, and the sealant 40 fills the first groove 123. By arranging the first groove 123 on the planarization layer 12 and filling the frame sealing adhesive 40 into the first groove 123, the first groove 123 and the frame sealing adhesive 40 are nested with each other, so that the contact area between the frame sealing adhesive 40 and the planarization layer 12 is increased, the path of external water vapor entering the display panel 100 is prolonged, and the packaging performance of the frame sealing adhesive 40 is improved. Meanwhile, the bonding force between the first substrate 10 and the frame sealing adhesive 40 can be increased, the bonding force of the display panel 100 can be improved, and when the display panel 100 is a curved display panel 100 or the display panel 100 needs to be bent, the arrangement mode can effectively reduce the relative displacement between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, and can prevent the display effect of the display panel 100 from being affected. Further, in the embodiment of the invention, when the material of the planarization layer 12 includes an inorganic material, such as SiNx, it is advantageous to form the first groove 123 on the planarization layer 12 and implement the nesting design of the planarization layer 12 and the sealant 40, and compared with the case where the planarization layer 12 is an OC layer, if the OC layer is a thermal OC layer, the thermal OC layer cannot be formed in the nesting design, and when the OC layer is a light-sensitive OC layer, although the light-sensitive OC layer can be provided with the groove structure and is designed to be nested with the sealant 40, the light-sensitive OC layer can reduce the light penetration of the display panel 100 and deteriorate the flatness of the light-sensitive OC layer. Therefore, the composition material of the planarization layer 12 of the embodiment of the invention includes an inorganic material, which is easy to make the nesting design of the planarization layer 12 and the frame sealing adhesive 40, and has good planarization.

By arranging the first groove 123 to be annular, the frame sealing glue 40 can be filled into the first groove 123 in the whole circumference of the display panel 100, so that the packaging capacity of the display panel 100 in all directions is uniformly improved, the reliability of the display panel 100 is improved, and meanwhile, the bonding force of the display panel 100 is uniformly improved.
