Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a display panel and a display device.
Background
From the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) era to the liquid crystal era and now to the OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) era, the display industry has been developing over decades. The display industry is closely related to our life, and display technologies cannot be separated from traditional mobile phones, flat panels, televisions and PCs to current intelligent wearable devices and VR and other electronic devices.
With the development of display technology, foldable display devices are also favored by users due to their foldable capabilities. In a foldable display device, a typical film structure of a display panel includes an inorganic layer with a relatively high hardness and an organic layer with a relatively low hardness, for example, an inorganic layer and an organic layer structure may be disposed in an encapsulation layer of the display panel. During the folding process, the impact force applied to the inorganic layer with greater hardness will be conducted downwards, and there is a high possibility of damaging the transistor structure in the display panel. Therefore, how to improve the impact resistance of the display panel becomes one of the technical problems to be solved urgently at the present stage.

Compared with the prior art, the display panel and the display device provided by the invention at least realize the following beneficial effects:
in the display panel and the display device provided by the invention, the light-emitting layer is arranged on one side of the array layer away from the substrate, and the array layer is usually used for driving the light-emitting material layer in the light-emitting layer to emit light; the light emitting layer includes a pixel defining layer defining a plurality of pixel openings, and a light emitting material layer in the pixel openings. The packaging layer is arranged on one side, away from the substrate, of the cathode in the light-emitting layer and comprises a first inorganic layer, and the packaging layer is used for packaging the light-emitting layer in consideration of the fact that the inorganic layer has a good water and oxygen blocking effect, so that the light-emitting layer can be effectively blocked from being affected by external water and oxygen. When the light emitting material layer is encapsulated by the first inorganic layer, the first inorganic layer covers each pixel opening, and the first inorganic layer is filled into the pixel opening, so that reliable encapsulation of the light emitting material layer is realized. In particular, besides the pixel opening, the invention introduces a plurality of first openings on the pixel defining layer, the first openings extend along the direction vertical to the substrate base plate, and the first inorganic layer is also filled in the first openings. When receiving the impact of external force, first inorganic layer still will form a plurality of stress points in a plurality of first trompils except forming a plurality of stress points in the pixel opening to increased display panel and formed the multiple spot atress when receiving external force impact, avoided the impact force to take place to assemble in certain position, made the impact force release from many places, therefore effectively promoted display panel's shock resistance.
In addition, because the orthographic projection of the first opening hole on the plane of the substrate base plate at least does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel opening and the orthographic projection of the channel region of the transistor on the plane of the substrate base plate, the possibility that impact force is conducted downwards to the transistor when the inorganic layer forms a stress point in the first opening hole is effectively reduced, the possibility that the transistor is damaged or even failed by the impact force is reduced, the display reliability of the display panel when the display panel is impacted is improved, and the impact resistance of the display panel is further improved.

It should be noted that fig. 2 illustrates the display panel 100 provided by the present invention only by taking a rectangle as an example, and does not represent the actual shape of the display panel 100, and in some other embodiments of the present invention, the display panel 100 may also be embodied as a rounded rectangle, a circle, or an irregular shape, which is not specifically limited in this application. In addition, fig. 3 only illustrates the film layer structure on the display panel 100, and does not represent the actual number and size of the film layers. Optionally, in order to improve the packaging reliability of the packaging layer 40, in the display panel 100 provided by the present invention, the packaging layer 40 may further include an organic layer and a second inorganic layer 42 in addition to the first inorganic layer 41, wherein the organic layer 43 is disposed between the first inorganic layer 41 and the second inorganic layer 42, and the first inorganic layer 41 is located on a side of the organic layer 43 close to the substrate 10.
Specifically, with continued reference to fig. 2 to fig. 4, in the display panel 100 provided by the present invention, the display panel 100 includes a substrate 10 and an array layer 20 disposed on a side of the substrate 10, wherein a light emitting layer 30 is disposed on a side of the array layer 20 away from the substrate 10, and the array layer 20 is generally used for driving a light emitting material layer 33 in the light emitting layer 30 to emit light; the light emitting layer 30 includes a pixel defining layer 32, the pixel defining layer 32 defining a plurality of pixel openings K0, and a light emitting material layer 33 in the pixel openings K0. The light-emitting layer 30 includes an anode 31, a light-emitting material layer 33, and a cathode 34, wherein the anode 31 is used for electrically connecting with the transistor T in the driving layer, the anode 31 is located on a side of the light-emitting material layer 33 close to the substrate 10, and the cathode 34 is located on a side of the light-emitting material layer 33 far from the substrate 10. The encapsulation layer 40 is disposed on a side of the cathode 34 of the light-emitting layer 30 away from the substrate 10, and the encapsulation layer 40 includes the first inorganic layer 41, which is considered to have a better effect of blocking water and oxygen, so that the encapsulation layer 40 is used to encapsulate the light-emitting layer 30, thereby effectively blocking the influence of external moisture and oxygen on the light-emitting layer 30.
When the light emitting material layer 33 is encapsulated by the first inorganic layer 41, the first inorganic layer 41 covers each pixel opening K0, and the first inorganic layer 41 fills the pixel opening K0 to achieve reliable encapsulation of the light emitting material layer 33. In particular, in addition to the pixel opening K0, the present invention introduces a plurality of first openings K1 on the pixel defining layer 32, the first openings K1 extend along a direction perpendicular to the substrate base 10, and the first inorganic layer 41 is further filled in the first openings K1. When the display panel 100 is impacted by an external force, the first inorganic layer 41 not only forms a plurality of stress points S in the pixel opening K0, but also forms a plurality of stress points S in the first openings K1, so that the inorganic layer forms a multi-point stress when the display panel 100 is impacted by the external force, for example, referring to fig. 4, the impact force is prevented from being converged at a certain position, and the impact force is released from multiple positions, thereby preventing the inorganic layer in the array layer 20 from being broken due to the impact force in the first inorganic layer 41, and being beneficial to preventing the inorganic layer in the array layer 20 from being broken to cause the failure of the transistor T, and thus effectively improving the impact resistance of the display panel 100.
In addition, since the orthographic projection of the first opening K1 on the plane of the substrate base plate 10 is not overlapped with the orthographic projection of at least the pixel opening K0 and the channel region G of the transistor T on the plane of the substrate base plate 10, the possibility that the impact force is transmitted downwards to the transistor T and the inorganic layer at the corresponding position of the transistor T when the inorganic layer forms the stress point S in the first opening K1 is effectively reduced, on one hand, the possibility that the transistor T is damaged or even fails by the impact force is favorably reduced, on the other hand, the possibility that the inorganic layer in the array layer 20 is broken by the impact force transmitted by the first inorganic layer 41 is favorably reduced, and the phenomenon that the transistor T is damaged or fails due to the breakage of the inorganic layer is avoided, so that the display reliability of the display panel 100 when the impact force is favorably improved, and the impact resistance of the display panel 100 is further favorably improved. It should be noted that the pixel opening K0 and the first opening K1 on the pixel defining layer 32 can be formed in the same process, so as to facilitate the manufacturing process of the display panel 100.
Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating a relative position relationship between the first opening K1 and the channel region G of the transistor provided by the present invention, please refer to fig. 3, when a plurality of first openings K1 are formed on the pixel definition layer 32, the positions of the first openings K1 are disposed away from the pixel opening K0, that is, the orthographic projection of the first openings K1 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the pixel opening K0 on the substrate 10 do not overlap, and the number and size of the first openings K1 can be flexibly set according to the size of the non-opening region in the display panel 100. Since the channel region G of the transistor T is a core component in which the transistor T functions, it is a region where the gate of the transistor overlaps with the active layer. Optionally, in the present invention, the first opening K1 is disposed while avoiding the channel region G of the transistor T, that is, the orthographic projection of the first opening K1 on the substrate 10 is disposed without overlapping the channel region G of the transistor T, so as to avoid the impact force from affecting the transistor T. When keeping away from pixel opening K0 and transistor T's channel region G with first trompil K1 and setting up, can arrange first trompil K1 in display panel 100 as far as possible uniformly, or the setting up of first trompil K1 makes first inorganic layer 41 at first trompil K1, the sharp-pointed structure that pixel opening K0 and other positions formed evenly distributed on display panel 100 as far as possible, therefore make display panel 100 when receiving external force impact, the sharp-pointed structure that first inorganic layer 41 formed can evenly release the impact force, be favorable to avoiding appearing the too big problem of single-point atress in display panel 100 more.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, with continued reference to fig. 3, the height h1 of each first opening K1 is the same along the direction F perpendicular to the substrate base 10.
It is to be understood that, when the first opening K1 is formed on the pixel defining layer 32, the first opening K1 includes a first end face K11 and a second end face K12 opposite to each other along a direction F perpendicular to the substrate base plate 10, and the height h1 of the first opening K1 mentioned in the present invention refers to a distance between the first end face K11 and the second end face K12 of the first opening K1 along the direction perpendicular to the substrate base plate 10, that is, a grooving depth of the first opening K1.
In the present invention, when the plurality of first openings K1 are formed on the pixel definition layer 32, the heights of the first openings K1 along the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 are set to be the same, so that the first openings K1 can be formed by using the same process size when the first openings K1 are formed, and thus, the arrangement manner of the same heights of the first openings K1 is favorable for simplifying the manufacturing process of forming the first openings K1 on the pixel definition layer 32, and is favorable for improving the production efficiency of the display panel 100.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, with reference to fig. 3, the height h1 of the first opening K1 is smaller than the height h2 of the pixel defining layer 32 along the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10.
Specifically, since the first opening K1 is formed by forming a groove in the pixel defining layer 32, when the height h1 of the first opening K1 is smaller than the height h2 of the pixel defining layer 32 in the direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10, that is, in the direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10, the first opening K1 does not penetrate through the pixel defining layer 32. When the first inorganic layer 41 in the encapsulation layer 40 is filled in each first opening K1, a plurality of sharp structures can be formed in the first opening K1 as well, and when the display panel 100 is under the action of an external impact force, the sharp structures in the first inorganic layer 41 can form a plurality of stress points S, which is equivalent to increasing the number of the stress points S on the first inorganic layer 41 in the display panel 100, so that the impact force can be released from a plurality of places, thereby being also beneficial to improving the impact resistance of the display panel 100.
In an alternative embodiment of the invention, fig. 6 is another AA cross-sectional view of the display panel 100 in fig. 2, please refer to fig. 6, wherein a height h1 of the first opening K1 is equal to a height h2 of the pixel defining layer 32 along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10.
Specifically, fig. 6 shows another form of the first hole K1 in the present invention, and the structure of the display panel 100 in fig. 6 is the same as that in fig. 3 except that the height of the first hole K1 is different. In the embodiment shown in fig. 6, the height h1 of the first opening K1 is equal to the height h2 of the pixel defining layer 32 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate base plate 10, that is, the first opening K1 in this embodiment is disposed through the pixel defining layer 32 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate base plate 10. When the height of first trompil K1 becomes great, fill the first inorganic layer 41 in first trompil K1 and will form sharp-pointed structure more easily, when display panel 100 receives outside impact force, fill in the first inorganic layer 41 of first trompil K1 and form a plurality of stress points S more easily, thereby more be favorable to realizing the multiple spot release to the impact force, and then be favorable to promoting display panel 100' S shock resistance more, avoid the too big inorganic layer emergence fracture and the phenomenon that leads to transistor T to become invalid in the array layer 20 that leads to the single-point impact force.
In an alternative embodiment of the invention, fig. 7 is another AA cross-sectional view of the display panel 100 shown in fig. 2, the display panel 100 further includes an auxiliary layer 50, the auxiliary layer 50 is located on a side of the pixel defining layer 32 close to the substrate base 10, and the first opening K1 exposes the auxiliary layer 50; in the first opening K1, the cathode 34 is in direct contact with the auxiliary layer 50.
Specifically, fig. 7 shows another form of the first opening K1 in the present invention, and the structure of the display panel 100 in fig. 7 is the same as that in fig. 6, except that the auxiliary layer 50 is introduced into the display panel 100 in the embodiment shown in fig. 7, the auxiliary layer 50 is located on the side of the pixel definition layer that is close to the substrate 10, and when the first opening K1 is formed on the pixel definition layer 32, the height h1 of the first opening K1 is the same as the height h2 of the pixel definition layer 32, that is, the first opening K1 penetrates through the pixel definition layer 32 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, so as to expose the auxiliary layer 50. Since the cathode 34 in the light-emitting layer 30 covers the entire surface of the light-emitting material layer 33 away from the substrate 10, when the first opening K1 is formed on the pixel defining layer 32, the cathode 34 will be formed in the first opening K1, and since the auxiliary layer 50 is exposed by the first opening K1, the cathode 34 in the first opening K1 will be in direct contact with the auxiliary layer 50 to form an electrical connection. Optionally, the auxiliary layer 50 in the present invention is made of a conductive material, and the auxiliary layer 50 corresponds to the first openings K1 one to one. In the first opening K1, when the cathode 34 is electrically connected to the auxiliary layer 50, it is equivalent to parallel connection of a resistance structure to the cathode 34, thereby being beneficial to reduce the overall resistance of the cathode 34. Because the cathode 34 covers the side of the light-emitting material 33 far from the substrate base plate 10, when the resistance of the cathode 34 is large, a large impedance is formed in the process of transmitting signals by the cathode 34, and therefore, the voltage drop at different positions is large, and the phenomenon that the electric signals transmitted by the cathode 34 are different is large, the resistance of the cathode 34 is effectively reduced by connecting the auxiliary layer 50 with the cathode 34, so that the voltage drop of the cathode 34 in the signal transmission process is favorably reduced, the uniformity of the signals transmitted by the cathode 34 is favorably improved, the display uniformity of the display panel 100 is favorably improved, and the display effect of the display panel 100 is favorably improved.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, with continued reference to fig. 7, the auxiliary layer 50 is disposed in the same layer as the anode 31. When the auxiliary layer 50 and the anode 31 are disposed on the same layer, the auxiliary layer 50 and the anode 31 can be fabricated in the same process, and the auxiliary layer 50 can be formed at the same time when the anode 31 is formed, so that a separate fabrication process for the auxiliary layer 50 is not required, which is beneficial to simplifying the fabrication process for the display panel 100 in which the auxiliary layer 50 is thick, and improving the production efficiency of the display panel 100. It can be understood that, because the anode 31 and the cathode 34 in the light emitting layer 30 transmit different electrical signals, when the auxiliary layer 50 and the anode 31 are disposed on the same layer, the auxiliary layer 50 is insulated from the anode 31, which is beneficial to the occurrence of signal disorder and the improvement of display reliability of the display panel 100.
In an alternative embodiment of the invention, fig. 8 is another AA cross-sectional view of the display panel 100 in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 8, the display panel 100 further includes a first organic layer 60, and the first organic layer 60 is located between the array layer 20 and the light-emitting layer 30 along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10; the display panel 100 further includes a plurality of second openings K2, wherein the second openings K2 penetrate at least a portion of the first organic layer 60 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate base plate 10; the second opening K2 and the first opening K1 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence mode, and the first opening K1 is communicated with the second opening K2.
It is understood that the first organic layer 60 disposed between the array layer 20 and the light emitting layer 30 according to the present invention may be, for example, a planarization layer. In the embodiment shown in fig. 8, in addition to the first opening K1 provided on the pixel defining layer 32, a second opening K2 is provided on the first organic layer 60. It should be noted that the pixel defining layer 32 and the first organic layer 60 are two film structures, and the anode 31 is disposed between the two film structures, so that the processes of forming the via holes on the pixel defining layer 32 and the first organic layer 60 are usually separated, for example, first forming the second opening K2 on the first organic layer 60, then forming the anode 31 on the first side of the first organic layer 60 away from the substrate 10, then forming the pixel defining layer 32 on the side of the anode 31 away from the substrate 10, and finally forming the first opening K1 on the pixel defining layer 32.
Specifically, referring to fig. 8, a plurality of second openings K2 are formed in the first organic layer 60, the second openings K2 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the first openings K1, where the one-to-one correspondence indicates that one first opening K1 corresponds to one second opening K2 and one first opening K1 is communicated with one second opening K2 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10. When the second opening K2 corresponding to the first opening K1 is disposed on the first organic layer 60, the first inorganic layer 41 can extend downward from the first opening K1, so that the first inorganic layer 41 forms a sharp structure, and the sharp structure has a greater height in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, and when the height of the sharp structure becomes greater, it is more favorable for forming the stress points S, that is, when the display panel 100 is subjected to an external impact force, the sharp structure formed by the first inorganic layer 41 forms a plurality of stress points S in the display panel 100, so that the impact force after the impact on the display panel 100 is released from multiple places, and the problem that the inorganic layer in the array layer 20 is broken due to an excessive single-point impact force, and then the transistor T is damaged is effectively prevented, thereby being more favorable for improving the impact resistance of the display panel 100.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, with continued reference to fig. 8, the height of the second opening K2 is smaller than the height of the first organic layer 60 along the direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10.
Specifically, in the display panel 100 provided by the present invention, when the second opening K2 is formed in the first organic layer 60, the height h3 of the second opening K2 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 is smaller than the height h4 of the first organic layer 60, that is, the second opening K2 does not penetrate through the first organic layer 60, so that the sharp structure formed by the first inorganic layer 41 will not contact with the other inorganic layer of the first organic layer 60 on the side close to the substrate 10. In the present invention, when the first inorganic layer 41 is used to form a sharp structure in the first opening K1, and the side of the sharp structure facing the substrate 10 is an organic layer structure, because the organic layer has a smaller hardness than the inorganic layer, when the display panel 100 is subjected to an external impact force and forms a plurality of stress points S in the first inorganic layer 41 having a larger hardness, and the impact force is transmitted to the first organic layer 60 having a smaller hardness from the side facing the substrate 10, the first organic layer 60 can buffer and release the impact force to a certain extent, so that the impact force on the sharp structure formed by the first inorganic layer 41 is prevented from being directly applied to the inorganic layer in the array layer 20, and thus the arrangement manner that the height of the second opening K2 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 is smaller than that of the first organic layer 60 can buffer the impact force by using the first organic layer 60, thereby reducing the impact force applied to the inorganic layer in the array layer 20, thereby preventing the inorganic layer in the array layer 20 from being subjected to a larger impact force and breaking phenomenon, thereby preventing the inorganic layer from being broken and improving the performance of the display panel 100.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, with continued reference to fig. 3, the first opening K1 includes a first end face K11 and a second end face K12 that are oppositely disposed, the first end face K11 is located at a side of the second end face K12 close to the substrate base 10; the area of the orthographic projection of the first end face K11 on the base substrate 10 is smaller than the area of the orthographic projection of the pixel opening K0 on the base substrate 10.
It is understood that, when the first opening K1 is formed on the pixel electrode layer, the aperture of the first opening K1 tends to decrease from the side away from the substrate base plate 10 to the side close to the substrate base plate 10 due to the limitation of the production process, that is, the area of the first end face K11 of the first opening K1 disposed close to the substrate base plate 10 will be smaller than the area of the second end face K12 disposed away from the substrate base plate 10. In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the plan view of the first opening K1 and the pixel opening K0 shows the position relationship between the second end face K12 of the first opening K1 and the pixel opening K0, and this embodiment is described by taking an example that the area of the second end face K12 of the first opening K1 is smaller than the area of the orthographic projection of the pixel opening K0 on the substrate 10, and at this time, the area of the first end face K11 of the first opening K1 is inevitably smaller than the area of the orthographic projection of the pixel opening K0 on the substrate 10. In the invention, when the area of the first end face K11 with the smaller area of the first opening K1 is set smaller than the area of the orthographic projection of the pixel opening K0 on the substrate base plate 10, more first openings K1 can be formed in the non-opening area of the display panel 100, when the area of the first opening K1 is smaller, the first inorganic layer 41 is more favorable for forming a sharp structure in the first opening K1, on one hand, the sharp degree of the sharp structure is favorable for improving a better stress point S, on the other hand, the number of the sharp structures is also favorable for increasing, when the number of the sharp structures formed by the first inorganic layer 41 on the display panel 100 is larger, when the display panel 100 is subjected to external impact force, more stress points S release the impact force, thereby being more favorable for improving the impact resistance of the display panel 100.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, with continued reference to fig. 3, in each first opening K1, the orthographic projection area of each first end face K11 on the substrate base 10 is equal.
Specifically, when the orthographic projection areas of the first end surfaces K11 of the first openings K1 on the substrate 10 are set to be equal, the present invention is favorable for ensuring that the sharpness degrees of the sharp structures are the same when the first inorganic layers 41 form the sharp structures in the first openings K1, so that the impact forces applied to the sharp structures formed by the first inorganic layers 41 in the first openings K1 are the same or similar, and thus the present invention is favorable for improving the force uniformity of the sharp structures formed by the first inorganic layers 41 when the impact forces are applied, so that the overall force of the display panel 100 is more uniform, the phenomenon of too large single-point force application in the display panel 100 is avoided, and the improvement of the impact resistance of the display panel 100 is also favorable.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, in the first cross section of the same first opening K1, the sidewall of the first opening K1 is in a straight line or an arc line structure, and the first cross section is perpendicular to the substrate base plate 10.
Specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3 and 6, the sidewall of the first opening K1 is a straight line in the first cross section of the first opening K1, and the sidewall of the first opening K1 may also be embodied as an arc line structure in consideration of different manufacturing processes. When the sidewall of the first opening K1 is in a linear or arc structure, the first opening K1 can be formed by one process, for example, the first opening K1 structure can be formed on the pixel defining layer 32 by one mask process, and this manufacturing method is favorable for simplifying the production process of the first opening K1, thereby improving the impact resistance of the display panel 100 and the manufacturing process of the display panel 100, and improving the manufacturing efficiency of the display panel 100.
In an alternative embodiment of the invention, fig. 9 is another AA cross-sectional view of the display panel 100 in fig. 2, and in the first cross-section of the same first opening K1, the sidewall of the first opening K1 has a step-like structure; along the direction that the packaging layer 40 points to the substrate base plate 10, the sectional area of the first opening K1 along the second section is reduced; wherein the first cross section is perpendicular to the substrate base 10 and the second cross section is parallel to the substrate base 10.
Specifically, with continued reference to fig. 9, the structure of the display panel 100 shown in fig. 9 is the same as that shown in fig. 6, except that the structure of the first opening K1 is different. In the embodiment shown in fig. 9, the sidewall of the first opening K1 has a step-like structure, and the cross-sectional area of the first opening K1 along the second cross-section decreases along the direction from the encapsulation layer 40 to the substrate 10. When the first inorganic layer 41 is filled in the first opening K1, the first inorganic layer 41 forms the stress points S at the bottom of the first opening K1, and also forms the stress points S at the corners of the step shape, that is, when the sidewall of the first opening K1 is set to be the step shape structure, the first inorganic layer can form a plurality of stress points S in the same first opening K1, which is equivalent to increasing the number of the stress points S when the display panel 100 is impacted by an external force, so that the impact force can be released through the plurality of stress points S, thereby effectively preventing the phenomenon of too large single-point impact force in the display panel 100, and being more beneficial to improving the impact resistance of the display panel 100. It should be noted that, when the sidewall of the first opening K1 is formed into the stepped structure, the sidewall can be manufactured by using a 2-mask or multi-mask process, which is not specifically limited in this application.

in the display panel and the display device provided by the invention, the light-emitting layer is arranged on one side of the array layer, which is far away from the substrate, and the array layer is usually used for driving the light-emitting material layer in the light-emitting layer to emit light; the light emitting layer includes a pixel defining layer defining a plurality of pixel openings, and a light emitting material layer in the pixel openings. The packaging layer is arranged on one side, away from the substrate base plate, of the cathode in the light-emitting layer and comprises a first inorganic layer, and the inorganic layer is considered to have a good water and oxygen blocking effect, so that the light-emitting layer is packaged by the packaging layer, and the influence of external water and oxygen on the light-emitting layer can be effectively blocked. When the light emitting material layer is encapsulated by the first inorganic layer, the first inorganic layer covers each pixel opening, and the first inorganic layer is filled into the pixel opening, so that reliable encapsulation of the light emitting material layer is realized. In particular, besides the pixel opening, the invention introduces a plurality of first openings on the pixel defining layer, the first openings extend along the direction vertical to the substrate base plate, and the first inorganic layer is also filled in the first openings. When receiving the impact of external force, first inorganic layer still will form a plurality of stress points in a plurality of first trompils except forming a plurality of stress points in the pixel opening to increased display panel and formed the multiple spot atress when receiving external force impact, avoided the impact force to take place to assemble in certain position, made the impact force release from many places, therefore effectively promoted display panel's shock resistance.
In addition, because the orthographic projection of the first opening hole on the plane of the substrate base plate at least does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel opening and the orthographic projection of the channel region of the transistor on the plane of the substrate base plate, the possibility that impact force is conducted downwards to the transistor when the inorganic layer forms a stress point in the first opening hole is effectively reduced, the possibility that the transistor is damaged or even failed by the impact force is reduced, the display reliability of the display panel when the display panel is impacted is improved, and the impact resistance of the display panel is further improved.
