In the prior art, the pixel structure islands located near the outer edge of the display panel are connected with the outer edge of the display panel through the stretchable bridge; when the display panel is cut by using a laser, the laser may damage the stretchable bridge extending to the outer edge of the panel, and during the further stretching of the stretchable display panel, the stretchable bridge extending to the outer edge of the panel may stretch the connected pixel structure islands by an amount greater than a predetermined amount, which may easily cause the stretchable bridge, and even the pixel structure islands to break or peel. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a stretchable display panel to avoid excessive damage to the panel during the process of cutting the display panel using laser.
The invention provides a stretchable display panel and a display device, which are used for solving the problem that stretchable bridges extending to the edge of the panel are damaged, so that the stretchable bridges or pixel structure islands in the display panel are broken or peeled off.
Fig. 1 is a top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is a top view of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present invention, in which edge regions are all blank regions, please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the present invention provides a stretchable display panel 100, which includes a central display region 01 and an edge region 02 surrounding the central display region 01, and a side of the central display region 01 pointing to the edge region 02 is in a first direction;
the stretchable display panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel islands 10 arranged in an array and a plurality of stretchable bridges 11 connected to the pixel islands 10;
in the first direction, the edge region 02 includes at least one clearance region 12, and the clearance region 12 is not provided with the stretchable bridge 11.
Specifically, the present application provides a stretchable display panel 100, which includes a central display region 01 and an edge region 02, wherein the edge region 02 is closed around the central display region 01, and a side of the central display region 01 pointing to the edge region 02 is defined as a first direction. The stretchable display panel 100 provided by the present application includes a plurality of pixel islands 10 and a plurality of stretchable bridges 11, wherein the plurality of pixel islands 10 are arranged in the display panel 100 in an array, and the plurality of stretchable bridges 11 are respectively connected to the pixel islands 10, specifically: two pixel islands 10 disposed arbitrarily adjacent in the row direction or the column direction are connected by at least one stretchable bridge 11.
In the first direction, the present application provides at least one clearance area 12 in the edge area 02 of the stretchable display panel 100, where the clearance area 12 refers to an area in the edge area 02 shown in fig. 1 where no stretchable bridge 11 is disposed, and further, the clearance area 12 is specifically an area in the central display area 01 where no stretchable bridge 11 is disposed toward one side of the outer edge of the display panel 100 in the row direction or the column direction along which any pixel island 10 near one side of the edge area 01 is arranged; any pixel island 10 near the edge region 01 side in the central display region 01 is disconnected from the outer edge through the clearance region 12, or the stretchable bridge 11 connecting the outer edge is disconnected from any pixel island 10 near the edge region 01 side in the central display region 01 through the clearance region 12. The orthographic projection of the clearance area 12 on the light-emitting surface of the stretchable display panel 100 is less than or equal to the orthographic projection of the edge area 02 on the light-emitting surface of the stretchable display panel 100. The stretchable bridges 11 are not disposed in the headroom region 12, and there is at least one pixel island 10 without connecting the stretchable bridges 11 on a side near the outer edge of the display panel 100. By not disposing the stretchable bridge 11 structure between the pixel island 10 and the outer edge of the stretchable display panel 100, that is, cutting off the bridging device (for example, the stretchable bridge 11) connected between any pixel island 10 in the central display region 01 of the display panel 100 near the edge region 01 and the outer edge of the display panel, the stretching of the pixel island 10 by the edge of the display panel 100 is reduced, and the tensile stress applied to the pixel island 10 by the edge of the display panel 100 is reduced, so that the number of the stretchable bridges 11 damaged during the cutting process of the display panel is reduced, and the damaged stretchable bridges 11 cannot apply a stretching force exceeding a limit to the pixel island 10 due to the existence of the clear region 12 between the damaged stretchable bridges 11 and the pixel island 10, thereby reducing the probability of peeling or breaking of the stretchable bridges 11 and the corresponding pixel islands 10, and facilitating the improvement of the production yield of the stretchable display panel 100.
Referring to fig. 2, when no island structure is disposed in the edge region 02 of the stretchable display panel 100, the edge region 02 of the entire display panel 100 may be the clearance region 12, and all the pixel islands 10 disposed on one side of the display panel 100 near the edge region 02 are not disposed with the stretchable bridge 11 structure on one side near the outer edge of the display panel 100. That is, compared to the prior art, the stretchable bridges 11 facing the display panel edge side of all the pixel islands 10 on the side of the display panel 100 close to the edge region 02 are removed, so that there is no structure of the stretchable bridges 11 between any pixel island 10 and the cut edge of the stretchable display panel 100, and the display panel 100 is cut by laser to be all the substrate structure, thereby eliminating the possibility of damage to the stretchable bridges 11 extending to the display panel edge, and being beneficial to reducing the risk of breaking or peeling of the pixel islands 10 in the entire stretchable display panel 100 due to abnormal stretching, and being beneficial to improving the production yield of the stretchable display panel 100.
It should be noted that fig. 1 and 2 only show an arrangement of the pixel islands 10 and the stretchable bridges 11 in the stretchable display panel 100 by way of example, and do not represent the actual number of pixel islands 10 and the number of stretchable bridges 11 in one display panel 100, nor represent the actual spacing between the pixel islands 11; the size, number, shape, etc. of the pixel islands 10 and the stretchable bridges 11 disposed in the stretchable display panel 100 may be adjusted according to actual needs. In addition, since the clearance area 12 is mainly between the pixel island 10 and the outer edge of the display panel, only the clearance area 12 between the pixel island 10 and the outer edge of the display panel is shown in the figure, and the space of all the pixel islands 10 on the side close to the edge area 02 in the display panel 100 along the first direction can be considered as the clearance area.
Referring to fig. 3, which is a top view of a display panel including vacant islands in the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 3, optionally, the stretchable display panel 100 further includes at least one vacant island 13, the vacant island 13 is located at the edge region 02, and the vacant island 13 and the vacant region 12 do not overlap in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the stretchable display panel 100.
Specifically, the stretchable display panel 100 provided by the present application may further include at least one vacant island 13 disposed in the edge region 02, where the vacant island 13 is not used for displaying a picture, and when the stretchable display panel 100 is stretched to generate a deformation, the vacant island 13 first undergoes the deformation and releases a part of pressure generated by the deformation through the stretchable bridge 11 connected to the vacant island 13, so as to effectively improve the stretch resistance of the display panel 100; the vacant islands 13 are arranged to prevent the pixel islands 10 from being cut and damaged when the edge of the display panel 100 is cut by the laser, and to prevent the laser cutting damage from occurring, and the stretchable bridges 11 extending to the outer edge of the display panel 100 directly apply too large tension to the pixel islands 10, thereby improving the yield of the stretchable display panel 100.
In the stretchable display panel 100 provided by the present application, in a direction perpendicular to a plane in which the stretchable display panel 100 is located, the vacant islands 13 and the vacant areas 12 do not overlap; or, the orthographic projection of the vacant island 13 on the light-emitting surface of the stretchable display panel 100 and the orthographic projection of the clearance area 12 on the light-emitting surface of the stretchable display panel 100 do not overlap; wherein "not overlapping" is specifically: the two orthographic projections of the vacant islands 13 and the clearance areas 12 on the light-emitting surface of the stretchable display panel 100 are separated from each other, or the two orthographic projections of the vacant islands 13 and the clearance areas 12 on the light-emitting surface of the stretchable display panel 100 are adjacent.
It should be noted that, here, the dummy islands 13 are all disposed in the edge region 02 of the stretchable display panel 100, that is, the dummy islands 13 are disposed between the pixel islands 10 of the central display region 01 near the edge region 02 and the outer edge of the display panel 100, and the dummy islands 13 may serve as a protection structure of the stretchable display panel 100, even if the island structure of the stretchable display panel 100 near the outermost edge of the panel is damaged in the processes of laser cutting and the like, the damaged island structure is also the dummy islands 13 disposed in the edge region 02, so as to further protect the pixel islands 10 of the stretchable display panel 100 located in the central display region 01, which is beneficial to improving the manufacturing yield of the stretchable display panel 100.
The vacant islands 13 and the clearance areas 12 are not overlapped, the clearance areas 12 needed to be arranged in the stretchable display panel 100 are ensured, the quantity of stretchable bridges 11 arranged between the pixel islands 10 and/or the vacant islands 13 and the outer edge of the panel can be reduced in the stretchable display panel 100, the quantity of the stretchable bridges 11 damaged when the display panel 100 is cut by laser is reduced, the arrangement mode that the clearance areas 12 are arranged between the outer edge of the panel and the pixel islands 10 when the display panel 100 is stretched in the row direction or the column direction is realized, and therefore the pixel islands 10 are prevented from being pulled beyond the stretching limit, the probability that the bridges 11 and the pixel islands 10 correspondingly connected with the bridges are peeled or broken is favorably reduced, and the production yield of the stretchable display panel 100 is favorably improved.
With reference to fig. 3, optionally, the pixel island 10 is disposed in the central display area 01, and at least one empty island 13 is disposed in the empty area 12 between the pixel island 10.
Specifically, the pixel islands 10 arranged in the stretchable display panel 100 provided by the present application may be all disposed in the central display area 01, and the pixel islands 10 arranged in an array in the central display area 01 are used for displaying the image of the stretchable display panel 100; when the vacant islands 13 are disposed in the edge region 02 of the stretchable display panel 100, the present application may arrange that the edge region 02 includes a vacant region 12, and at least one stretchable bridge 11 is not disposed between the pixel island 10 and the vacant island 13 on the side of the central display region 01 close to the edge region 02, and the position between the pixel island 10 and the vacant island 13 is the vacant region 12. This area is also the clear area 12 when no stretchable bridge 11 is provided between the free island 13 and the edge of the edge area 02 on the side away from the central display area 01.
When the stretchable display panel 100 provided by the present application includes the vacant islands 13 in the edge region 02, a vacant region 12 is formed between at least one vacant island 13 and the pixel island 10; even if the stretchable bridge 11 is disposed between one of the dummy islands 13 and the outer edge of the corresponding display panel 100, when the clearance area 12 is disposed between the dummy island 13 and the pixel island 10 closest thereto, i.e., the stretchable bridge 11 is not disposed between the dummy island 13 and the pixel island 10 closest thereto, even if the stretchable bridge 11 corresponding to the dummy island 13 extending to the edge of the display panel 100 is damaged during the panel cutting process, the damaged stretchable bridge 11 will only exert too much tensile force on the dummy island 13 corresponding to the dummy island 100 during the stretching process of the display panel 100, and will not adversely affect the pixel islands 10 in the central display area 01. Therefore, the clearance area 12 is disposed between at least a portion of the vacant islands 13 and the pixel islands 10, and/or the clearance area 12 is disposed between at least a portion of the vacant islands 13 and the outer edge of the display panel, which is beneficial to avoiding the risk of damage such as peeling or breaking of the pixel islands 10 in the central display area 01, and is equivalent to protecting the pixel islands 10 through the vacant islands 13 and the clearance area 12, which is beneficial to improving the production yield of the stretchable display panel 100.
Fig. 4 is a top view of the clearance area between the first edge and the vacant island in fig. 3 according to an embodiment of the present application, please refer to fig. 3 and fig. 4, optionally, along the first direction, a side of the edge area 02 away from the central display area 01 is a first edge 14, and at least one vacant island 13 is included and the clearance area 12 is located between the first edge 14.
Specifically, in a first direction, i.e., in a direction in which the central display region 01 points to the edge region 02, a side of the edge region 02 away from the central display region 01 is a first edge 14, and the first edge 14 may refer to a cutting edge of the stretchable display panel 100 during laser cutting; when at least one vacant island 13 is disposed in the edge region 02 of the stretchable display panel 100, a vacant region 12 may be disposed between the vacant island 13 and the first edge 14, and in this case, even if the vacant island 13 and the pixel island 10 closest to the vacant island 13 are connected by the stretchable bridge 11, the stretchable bridge 11 is not disposed between the vacant island 13 and the first edge 14, when the first edge 14 of the display panel 100 is cut by using laser, the vacant island 13 disposed adjacent to one side of the edge is not damaged, and thus the fixation and device integrity of the pixel island 10 in the panel are not affected, which is equivalent to that the pixel island 10 is protected by the vacant island 13 and the vacant region 12 together, which is beneficial to improving the production yield of the stretchable display panel 100.
In addition, in the stretchable display panel 100 shown in fig. 4, the stretchable bridge 11 is not disposed between the dummy island 13 and the first edge 14, so that the entire area between the dummy island 13 and the first edge 14 is the clearance area 12, when the first edge 14 of the display panel 100 is cut by using laser, damage to the stretchable bridge 11 extending to the first edge 14 is avoided, the pixel island 10 (and the dummy island 13) is protected by the clearance area 12 near the first edge 14, and the production yield of the stretchable display panel 100 is improved.
Fig. 5 is a top view of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the area of the vacant island is larger than that of the pixel island, and fig. 6 is another top view of the display panel provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the area of the vacant island is larger than that of the pixel island; referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6, it should be noted that fig. 6 and the following drawings do not show the filling of the clearance area 12 for clearly showing the contents to be expressed, and the position of the clearance area 12 can be correspondingly combined with fig. 1 to fig. 5; alternatively, the area of the dummy island 13 is equal to or larger than the area of any one of the pixel islands 10.
Specifically, in the stretchable display panel 100 provided in the present application, the area of any one of the dummy islands 13 disposed in the edge region 02 may be greater than or equal to the area of any one of the pixel islands 10, and it should be noted that "the area" herein refers to an orthographic projection area of any one of the dummy islands 13 and any one of the pixel islands 10 on the light emitting surface of the stretchable display panel 100, or an orthographic projection area of any one of the dummy islands 13 and any one of the pixel islands 10 on a plane perpendicular to the display panel 100.
According to the method, the area of the vacant islands 13 is larger than or equal to the area of the pixel islands 10, so that on one hand, the number of the vacant islands 13 required to be manufactured in the edge area 02 can be reduced to a certain extent, and the manufacturing complexity of the display panel 100 is simplified; on the other hand, the vacant islands 13 with a larger area can effectively prevent the first edges 14 from being broken or peeled off and extending toward the pixel islands 10, thereby more effectively protecting the yield of the pixel islands 10 in the central display area 01 of the stretchable display panel 100.
In addition, the present application does not limit that the installation area, the shape, and the like of the dummy islands 13 are the same, and even if each of the dummy islands 13 has different characteristics such as area, shape, and the like, as long as the dummy islands 13 are arranged in the edge region 02, and can effectively block or delay the damage such as the crack of the first edge 14 from extending to the pixel islands 10, thereby protecting the device integrity of the pixel islands 10.
With reference to fig. 6, optionally, the dummy islands 13 include a first dummy island 131 and a second dummy island 132, the second dummy island 132 is located between the first dummy island 131 and the pixel island 10 along the first direction, and an area of the second dummy island 132 is greater than or equal to an area of any one of the pixel islands 10 and less than or equal to an area of the first dummy island 131.
Specifically, the vacant islands 13 disposed in the edge region 02 of the stretchable display panel 100 provided in the present application may include a first vacant island 131 and a second vacant island 132, and the second vacant island 132 is located between the first vacant island 131 and the pixel island 10 along the first direction, in this case, the area of the second vacant island 132 may be set to be greater than or equal to the area of any one pixel island 10, and the area of the second vacant island 132 is smaller than or equal to the area of the first vacant island 131; that is, no matter what the type, group number or number of turns of the dummy islands 13 arranged in the edge region 02 is, the area of the dummy islands 13 can be set to be larger than or equal to the area of the pixel islands 10, so that the number of the dummy islands 13 required to be manufactured in the edge region 02 is reduced, and the manufacturing complexity of the display panel 100 is simplified; the empty islands 13 with a large area can effectively prevent the first edges 14 from breaking or peeling and extending toward the pixel islands 10, thereby more effectively protecting the yield of the pixel islands 10 in the central display area 01 of the stretchable display panel 100.
The area of the second dummy island 132 is set to be smaller than or equal to the area of the first dummy island 131, and the length of the dummy island 13 closer to the first edge 14 along the stretching direction of the display panel 100 is set to be larger, for example, the width of the dummy island 13 (including the first dummy island 131 and the second dummy island 132) along the row direction in fig. 6 is set to be larger than the width of the pixel island 10, so that the dummy island 13 with a larger area can effectively prevent the first edge 14 from being broken or peeled off and extend to the pixel island 10, which is beneficial to protecting the yield of the stretchable display panel 100.
It should be noted that, in the present application, the fabrication area of any pixel island 10 and the fabrication area of any vacant island 13 are not limited, and the areas of all pixel islands 10 and all vacant islands 13 are set to be the same, and the shapes of all pixel islands 10 and all vacant islands 13 are kept the same, which is beneficial to the integrated molding during the fabrication of the island structure in the fabrication process of the display panel 100, and improves the fabrication efficiency of the display panel 100. Since the pixel islands 10 and the dummy islands 13 have different roles in the stretchable display panel 100, the pixel islands 10 may be all fabricated to have the same area and the same shape, and the dummy islands 13 may be all fabricated to have the same area and the same shape, which may also improve the fabrication efficiency of the display panel 100 to some extent.
With reference to fig. 6, optionally, the shortest distance between the first vacant island 131 and the first edge 14 is D1, and D1 is less than or equal to 100 μm and less than or equal to 1000 μm.
Specifically, the first vacant island 131 arranged in the edge region 02 is an island structure arranged adjacent to the first edge 14 in the edge region 02, and the shortest distance between the first vacant island 131 and the first edge 14 is set to be in a range of 100 μm to 1000 μm in the present application; the shortest distance between the first vacant island 131 and the first edge 14 is controlled within a range larger than 100 μm, so that a certain space can be ensured to be reserved between the first vacant island 131 and the first edge 14, on one hand, the manufacturing position of the first vacant island 131 within an error range can be ensured to be enough, and on the other hand, when the stretchable display panel 100 is cut by laser, the vacant islands 13 can be ensured not to be cut to a certain extent, which is beneficial to ensuring the integrity of the whole stretchable display panel 100 and improving the manufacturing yield of the stretchable display panel 100. The maximum distance between the first vacant island 131 and the first edge 14 is controlled to be 1000 μm, which can effectively control the area of the edge region 02 not to be too large, and is beneficial to the narrow frame design of the stretchable display panel 100.
With reference to fig. 6, optionally, along the first direction, a distance L1 between the first dummy island 131 and the second dummy island 132 is smaller than a distance L2 between the second dummy island 132 and the pixel island 10.
Specifically, when the first and second vacant islands 131 and 132 are disposed in the edge area 02, the shortest distance L1 between the first and second vacant islands 131 and 132 may be set smaller than the shortest distance L2 between the second vacant island 132 and the pixel island 10; the relatively large distance L2 between the second vacant island 132 and the pixel island 10 can reduce the extent of the first edge 14 that causes panel damage during laser cutting to the pixel island 10 to some extent, for example, reduce the extent of the crack caused by the damaged first edge 14 to the pixel island 10, so as to protect the pixel island 10 from being damaged; that is, setting the distance L2 between the second dummy island 132 and the pixel island 10 to be relatively large can ensure that the transmission distance of the edge stress to the pixel island 10 is increased when the display panel 100 is stretched, and the stretchable bridge 11 structure is not provided at a position between at least a part of the pixel island 10 and the dummy island 13, which can break the path between the pixel island 10 and the dummy island 13 and prevent the pixel island 10 from being stretched too much.

Fig. 7 is another top view of a display panel including vacant islands according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to fig. 7, optionally, the stretchable display panel 100 includes a first stretching direction and a second stretching direction;
the stretchable display panel 100 includes a first state and a second state;
in the first state, the stretchable display panel 100 is in an unstretched state;
in the second state, the stretchable display panel 100 is in a stretched state, wherein the stretching direction is located in the first stretching direction and/or the second stretching direction.
Specifically, the stretchable display panel 100 provided by the present application may be, for example, a rectangular display panel 100 shown in fig. 7, and may include a first stretching direction and a second stretching direction, for example, the first stretching direction may be an extending direction in which the pixel islands 10 are arranged along a row direction, and the second stretching direction may be an extending direction in which the pixel islands 10 are arranged along a column direction.
The stretchable display panel 100 may comprise a first state and a second state, wherein in the first state the stretchable display panel 100 is in an unstretched state; in the second state, the stretchable display panel 100 is in a stretched state, and the stretching direction may be only in the first stretching direction or the second stretching direction, where the stretchable display panel 100 can be stretched in only one direction; the stretching direction may also include both the first stretching direction and the second stretching direction, in which case the stretchable display panel 100 may be stretched along the first stretching direction and may also be stretched along the second stretching direction.
It should be noted that, the present application only provides a direction in which the stretchable display panel 100 can be stretched, but the stretchable display panel 100 is not limited to be stretched in two directions, and the stretchable direction of the stretchable display panel 100 can be adjusted according to needs, so as to adjust each desired structure in the stretchable display panel 100.
With reference to fig. 7, optionally, in the second state, the amount of stretching deformation of the stretchable display panel 100 in the first stretching direction is greater than the amount of stretching deformation in the second stretching direction, and the number of the empty islands 13 in the first stretching direction is greater than the number of the empty islands 13 in the second stretching direction, and/or the number of the clearance areas 12 in the first stretching direction is greater than the number of the clearance areas 12 in the second stretching direction.
Specifically, when the stretchable display panel 100 is in a stretched state, the amount of stretching deformation of the stretchable display panel 100 in the first stretching direction may be set to be greater than the amount of stretching deformation in the second stretching direction, that is, the stretchable display panel 100 is stretched in the first stretching direction to a greater extent than the second stretching direction, and when the display panel 100 is stretched, the stretching force applied to the pixel island 10 in the first stretching direction may be greater than the stretching force in the second stretching direction, and the pixel island 10 is easily broken by the greater stretching force or other damage situations. Therefore, the present application solves the problem that the pixel island 10 is snapped by the tensile force in the first stretching direction by setting the number of the dummy islands 13 arranged in the first stretching direction to be larger than the number of the dummy islands 13 arranged in the second stretching direction. Here, the "number of the dummy islands 13 arranged in the first stretching direction" refers to the number of the dummy islands 13 arranged on the left and right sides of one row of the pixel islands 10 in the central display area 01, and the "number of the dummy islands 13 arranged in the second stretching direction" refers to the number of the dummy islands 13 arranged on the left and right sides of one column of the pixel islands 10 in the central display area 01, for example, the number of the dummy islands 13 arranged in the first stretching direction shown in fig. 7 is 4, and the number of the dummy islands 13 arranged in the second stretching direction is 2.
Specifically, the tensile force borne by the pixel island 10 when the stretchable display panel 100 is stretched along the first stretching direction is shared by the arrangement of the plurality of vacant islands 13 in the edge region 02, so that the stretch resistance of the central display region 01 of the stretchable display panel 100 is improved, the risk that the pixel island 10 is stretched and broken by a large force in the panel is reduced, and the display effect and the user experience of the corresponding display device are improved. Moreover, the number of the clearance areas 12 of the stretchable display panel 100 along the first stretching direction may be greater than the number of the clearance areas 12 along the second stretching direction, in this case, no matter between the vacant islands 13 and the first edges 14, between the vacant islands 13 and the vacant islands 13, or between the vacant islands 13 and the pixel islands 10, which are arranged along the first stretching direction, may be alternatively/completely set as the clearance areas 12, and the clearance areas 12 do not have the regions of the stretchable bridges 11, so that by reducing the arrangement of the stretchable bridges 11, the number of the stretchable bridges 11 damaged when the display panel 100 is cut by the laser may be reduced, and the pixel islands 10 may be prevented from being applied with an over-limit tensile force, thereby reducing the probability of peeling or breaking of the stretchable bridges 11 and the pixel islands 10 connected thereto, and facilitating the improvement of the production yield of the stretchable display panel 100.
