Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a non-display region at B1-B2 of a display panel provided in a fourth embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 6, in order to further reduce the resistance of the negative voltage signal line 140, reduce the resistance drop across the display panel, and improve the display effect, in some embodiments, the auxiliary signal line 120 includes an upper layer and a lower layer. Specifically, the auxiliary signal line 120 may include a first conducting portion 120a and a second conducting portion 120b, the first conducting portion 120a extends between the gate insulating layer 150 and the capacitor dielectric layer 160, the second conducting portion 120b extends between the capacitor dielectric layer 160 and the interlayer insulating layer 130, an orthogonal projection of the first conducting portion 120a on the substrate 110 overlaps an orthogonal projection of the second conducting portion 120b on the substrate 110, the first conducting portion 120a is electrically connected to the second conducting portion 120b through a via hole disposed on the capacitor dielectric layer 160, and the second conducting portion 120b is electrically connected to the negative voltage signal line 140 through a via hole disposed on the interlayer insulating layer 130.
The auxiliary signal line 120 is a double-layer structure, so that the cross-sectional area of the negative voltage signal line is further increased, the resistance of the negative voltage signal line is further reduced, the resistance drop at two ends of the display panel is further reduced, and the display effect is improved.
Fig. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a non-display region at B1-B2 of a display panel provided in a fifth embodiment of the present application.
In order to further improve the encapsulation effect of the display panel and prevent moisture from invading the display panel along the encapsulation layer, as shown in fig. 7, in some embodiments, the non-display area 100b may further include:
the retaining wall structure 161 is also called a dam structure, the retaining wall structure 161 is disposed around the display region 100a, and the retaining wall structure 161 is located on a side of the negative voltage signal line 140 away from the substrate 110.
In the process of forming the packaging layer by ink-jet printing the organic material, the retaining wall structure can prevent the organic material from overflowing to the outer side of the retaining wall structure, so that the organic material is prevented from overflowing, the packaging failure caused by the invasion of water vapor caused by the overflow of the organic material is avoided, and the packaging effect is improved.
In order to further block the overflow of the organic material, as shown in fig. 7, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary signal line 120 on the substrate 110 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the barrier wall structure 161 on the substrate 110, i.e., at least a partial region of the auxiliary signal line 120 is located right below the barrier wall structure 161. Therefore, at least partial region of the auxiliary signal line is located under the retaining wall structure, so that the height of the retaining wall structure is increased, the capability of the retaining wall structure for blocking the overflow of the organic material is improved, the risk of overflow is reduced, and the reliability of packaging is improved.
Fig. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a non-display region at B1-B2 of a display panel provided in a sixth embodiment of the present application.
In order to further block the overflow of the organic material, as shown in fig. 8, the bank structure 161 may include at least two sub-banks spaced apart from each other, for example, a sub-bank 161a and a sub-bank 161b, each of which is disposed around the display region in the non-display region. Meanwhile, in order to further reduce the resistance of the negative voltage signal line, the auxiliary signal line 120 may include at least two sub-auxiliary signal lines, such as a sub-auxiliary signal line 120c and a sub-auxiliary signal line 120d, where the number of the sub-auxiliary signal lines is less than or equal to the number of the sub-barriers. As an example, an orthogonal projection of each sub auxiliary signal line on the substrate 110 overlaps an orthogonal projection of one sub-bank on the substrate 110. Therefore, at least partial area of each sub auxiliary signal line is positioned under each sub retaining wall, so that the height of each sub retaining wall is increased, the capability of each sub retaining wall for blocking the overflow of the organic material is improved, the risk of overflow is reduced, and the reliability of packaging is improved.
In some embodiments, in order to meet the design requirements of narrow frames with different widths, the bus width of the auxiliary signal line 120 may be determined according to the bus width of the negative voltage signal line. Alternatively, the bus width of the auxiliary signal line 120 may be determined according to a distance between a first boundary and the bank structure, wherein the first boundary is a boundary between the display region 100a and the non-display region 100 b.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the line widths of the first and second line portions 120a and 120b may be determined according to the total line width of the negative voltage signal line, for example, as the total line width of the negative voltage signal line is smaller, the line widths of the first and second line portions 120a and 120b are larger, so that the resistance of the negative voltage signal line is maintained within a preset range, the resistance drop across the display panel is not too large, and the display effect is improved. Similarly, the number of the sub auxiliary signal lines can be flexibly set according to the bus width of the negative voltage signal line, and the application is not limited thereto.
In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the negative voltage signal line 140 on the substrate 110 covers the orthographic projection of the auxiliary signal line 120 on the substrate 110, i.e., the total line width of the negative voltage signal line 140 may be greater than the total line width of the auxiliary signal line 120. As an example, the bus width of the auxiliary signal line may be 20% to 75% of the total line width of the negative voltage signal line, that is, the bus width of the auxiliary signal line may be flexibly adjusted within a range of 20% to 75% of the total line width of the negative voltage signal line. Along with the increase of the bus width of the auxiliary signal line, the bus width of the negative-pressure signal line can be reduced, and the distance between the first boundary and the retaining wall structure is favorably reduced, so that the design of a narrow frame is more favorably realized.

As shown in fig. 9, in some embodiments, the non-display area 100b may further include:
and a planarization layer 190 and a first electrode layer 2001, which are located between the negative voltage signal line 140 and the retaining wall structure 161, wherein the planarization layer 190 is located on a side of the negative voltage signal line 140 facing away from the substrate 110 and covers the first electrode layer 2001.
Fig. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a non-display region at B1-B2 of a display panel provided in an eighth embodiment of the present application.

The material of the first layer may be the same as the material of the pixel defining layer 210 in fig. 3, for example, both polyimide. The material of the second layer may be the same as the material of the support posts 220 in fig. 3, for example, both polyimide. It is easily understood that the first layer of the barrier structures 161 of the non-display area 100b may be prepared together with the pixel defining layer 210 in the display area 100a, and the second layer may be prepared together with the supporting pillars 220 in the display area 100 a.
