So designed, with the material properties of the inorganic material, the flexible substrate 6 and the structures on the flexible substrate 6 are isolated, penetration of foreign substances, moisture, or external air from below the flexible substrate 6 is reduced or blocked, and a flat surface can be provided.
The Thin Film Transistor layer 8 is disposed above the buffer layer 7, and includes a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) and a pixel circuit, and the pixel circuit includes a data line and a scan line that are disposed in a crossing manner. The TFT may be made of Amorphous silicon (abbreviated as α -Si, also known as Amorphous silicon), Polycrystalline silicon (abbreviated as Poly-Si), Low-temperature Polycrystalline silicon (LTPS), or a metal oxide (such as indium gallium zinc oxide, abbreviated as IGZO). The TFT structure type may be a top gate type, a bottom gate type, or a double gate type, and the material and structure type of the TFT are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
The thin-film transistor layer 8 is provided with a flat layer 9 on one side far away from the flexible substrate 6, the flat layer 9 covers the thin-film transistor layer 8, and one side far away from the thin-film transistor layer 8 is provided with a flat surface which facilitates the manufacturing and forming of the structure above the flat surface.

A Spacer 15 (abbreviated as PS) is disposed on the pixel defining layer 10 outside the second opening, the Spacer 15 is a columnar structure extending upward along the thickness direction of the flexible substrate 6, and the top end of the columnar structure far away from the pixel defining layer 10 is used for supporting a mask plate for evaporating an organic light emitting layer.
The thin film packaging layer 11 of the display panel covers one side, far away from the flexible substrate 6, of the OLED pixel unit, and the OLED pixel unit is packaged in a sealing mode. The film encapsulation layer 11 includes an organic encapsulation layer and an inorganic encapsulation layer which are stacked, and the inorganic encapsulation layer is at least hermetically wrapped on one side of the organic encapsulation layer far away from the flexible substrate 6, namely the outer side of the organic encapsulation layer.

The material of the organic encapsulation layer can be polymers such as acrylic-based polymers and silicon-based polymers.

The organic packaging layer can well absorb and disperse the stress between layers, and the reduction of the barrier property to water and oxygen caused by the crack of the compact inorganic packaging layer is avoided.
As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the thin film encapsulation layer 11 includes a first inorganic encapsulation layer 12, an organic encapsulation layer 13 and a second inorganic encapsulation layer 14, which are stacked in a direction away from the flexible substrate 6, and the first inorganic encapsulation layer 12 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 14 are disposed on two sides of the organic encapsulation layer 13, and seal-wrap the organic encapsulation layer 13, so as to fully exert the water blocking performance of the inorganic encapsulation layer.
The touch panel in the display device 1 adopts a capacitive touch technology, and the capacitive touch technology includes Self Capacitance (Self Capacitance) and Mutual Capacitance (Mutual Capacitance). The self-capacitance touch panel is formed by a touch electrode and a human body, and position detection is carried out by utilizing the change of the self-capacitance. The mutual capacitance structure is formed by a first touch electrode and a second touch electrode to form mutual capacitance, and position detection is carried out by using the change of the mutual capacitance. The mutual capacitance type touch panel can be divided into a single-layer electrode structure and a double-layer electrode structure, wherein the single-layer electrode structure is characterized in that the first touch electrode and the second touch electrode are arranged on the same layer, and the double-layer electrode structure is characterized in that the first touch electrode and the second touch electrode are arranged in different layers. The self-contained touch panel is of a single-layer structure and has the characteristics of low power consumption, simple structure and the like.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a touch panel and a connection layer in a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 3, the touch panel includes a Barrier layer (Barrier)17, a first touch metal layer 18, a touch insulating layer 19, a second touch metal layer 20, and a touch protection layer 22, which are sequentially stacked. The barrier layer 17 is made of silicon-containing inorganic material, which may be SiO2Silicon nitride SiNxAnd silicon oxynitride SiON. The first touch metal layer 18 includes a plurality of connection bridges, and the second touch metal layer 20 may include a plurality of first touch electrodes arranged along a first direction and a plurality of second touch electrodes arranged at intervals along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Two adjacent first touch electrodes are integrally connected, and two adjacent second touch electrodes are connected with a connecting bridge through via holes formed in the touch insulating layer 19, that is, the connecting bridge connects the two adjacent second touch electrodes. The first touch metal layer 18, the touch insulating layer 19 and the second touch metal layer 20 are collectively referred to as a touch structure layer 21. It can be seen that the touch panel shown in fig. 3 adopts a mutual capacitance type touch panel with a double-layer electrode structure, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, the touch panel may also be a mutual capacitance type touch panel with a single-layer electrode structure, and may also be a self-capacitance type touch panel.
The connection layer 23 in the display device 1 is disposed between the touch panel and the display panel. In the display area 2 of the display device 1, the touch panel is disposed On the film encapsulation Layer 11 of the display panel through the connection Layer 23, so as to form a Flexible Multi-Layer cover surface (FMLOC) structure, and the touch panel and the display panel are integrated together, so that the display device has the advantages of being light, thin, foldable, and capable of meeting the product requirements of Flexible folding, narrow frame, and the like.
The connection layer 23 is formed by Deposition of Amorphous silicon (Amorphous silicon, abbreviated α -Si, also known as Amorphous silicon) by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD).
In the above-described embodiment, the second inorganic encapsulation layer 14 is located outside the thin film encapsulation layer 11, and in the display region 2 of the display device 1, the connection layer 23 is in contact with the second inorganic encapsulation layer 14 on one side and the barrier layer 17 on the other side. Since the barrier layer 17 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 14 are both made of silicon-containing inorganic materials, while amorphous silicon generates Si plasma in the process of making the connection layer 23 by PECVD, the Si plasma causes the connection layer 23 to form Si-Si covalent bonds with the second inorganic encapsulation layer 14 and the barrier layer 17, respectively, thereby forming a relatively strong adhesive force.
In order to reduce the influence of amorphous silicon on the optical performance of the display panel, the thickness of the connection layer 23 needs to be controlled
Figure BDA0003090781040000071
For example, in the present embodiment, the thickness of the connection layer 23 is smaller than
Figure BDA0003090781040000072
Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the touch panel and the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application in the AA region, and as shown in fig. 4, along the light exit direction of the display panel, the projections of the connection layer 23 and the barrier layer 17 to the flexible substrate 6 are overlapped and are not overlapped with the projection of the OLED subpixel 16 to the flexible substrate 6; that is, in the display area 2 of the display device 1, the touch panel barrier layer 17 and the connection layer 23 located between the sub-pixels are removed by etching. Since the amorphous silicon absorbs blue light to a certain extent, etching away the barrier layer 17 and the connection layer 23 between the sub-pixels can improve the influence of the amorphous silicon on the optical effect of the display panel. In addition, since the first touch metal layer 18 and the second touch metal layer 20 have lower transmittance, the amorphous silicon remaining under the metal lines in the first touch metal layer 18 and the second touch metal layer 20 does not have a great influence on the optical effect of the display panel.
The display panel comprises display signal lines connected with pixel circuits in the thin film transistor layer 8, the touch panel comprises touch signal lines connected with the first touch electrodes and the second touch electrodes, and the display signal lines and the touch signal lines are arranged in the peripheral area 3 of the display device 1 and extend to the binding area 5.
The display device 1 is provided with a plurality of parallel binding pins in the binding region 5, and the display signal line and the touch signal line are connected with the binding pins in the binding region 5. The binding pins are also used for being bound and connected with an external Integrated Circuit (IC) and/or a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC), and the display driving and touch control functions are realized through the bound IC and/or FPC.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a display device provided in an embodiment of the present application at a bonding pin, and as shown in fig. 5, a buffer layer 7, an insulating layer 24, a bonding pin 26, and a metal routing layer 30 are stacked on one side of a flexible substrate 6 near an OLED pixel unit. The insulating layer 24 is disposed on a side of the buffer layer 7 away from the flexible substrate 6, and may be formed by compounding multiple layers of insulating materials. In the present embodiment, the insulating Layer 24 is formed in the same Layer as an Inter Layer Dielectric (ILD) Layer of the tft. Here, "a and B are fabricated at the same layer" means that a and B are simultaneously formed through the same patterning process, and the "patterning process" includes processes of depositing a film layer, coating a photoresist, mask exposure, developing, etching, and stripping the photoresist. The deposition may employ any one or more selected from sputtering, evaporation and chemical vapor deposition, the coating may employ any one or more selected from spray coating and spin coating, and the etching may employ any one or more selected from dry etching and wet etching.
The bonding pins 26 comprise a plurality of metal layers arranged in a stack, where the plurality of metal layers may be fabricated in the same layer as the metal layers in the TFT. For example, in the present embodiment, the bonding pin 26 includes a first metal layer 27, a second metal layer 28, and a third metal layer 29 stacked in a direction away from the flexible substrate 6, where the first metal layer 27 is located in the insulating layer 24 and is fabricated in the same layer as a Gate (Gate) in the TFT, and the second metal layer 28 and the third metal layer 29 are located above the insulating layer 24 and are fabricated in the same layer as two source-drain metal layers (SD1 and SD2) in the TFT, respectively.
The display device 1 is further provided with an organic protective layer 25, and the organic protective layer 25 covers the contact position of the binding pins 26 and the insulating layer 24 to prevent corrosion of acidic liquid. The organic protective layer 25 can be formed in the same layer as the planarization layer 9, and the connection layer 23 will contact the organic protective layer 25 at the binding region 5.
The metal wiring layer 30 is disposed on the top end of the bonding pin 26 away from the insulating layer 24, and may be a display signal line or a touch signal line. In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the metal wiring layer 30 is a touch signal line.
As can be seen from fig. 5, the connection layer 23 and the barrier layer 17 are disconnected between the adjacent bonding pins 26, and since the amorphous silicon is a semiconductor and has a certain conductivity, the disconnection of the connection layer 23 and the barrier layer 17 between the adjacent bonding pins 26 can prevent signal interference between the bonding pins 26.
A plurality of test pins are arranged side by side in the test area 4 of the display device 1, the display signal line, the touch signal line and/or the test metal line are directly connected with the test pins, or are connected with the test pins through the binding pins 26, and the detection of the display device 1 can be realized through the test pins. The test pins and the bonding pins 26 are metal pins disposed in the non-display region, and the design of the test pins may refer to the description of the bonding pins 26, which is not described herein again.
The non-display region further includes an organic cladding layer exposed to the outside and contacting the connection layer 23, the organic cladding layer includes at least one of a planarization layer, a pixel defining layer and a spacer, and it should be noted that the planarization layer, the pixel defining layer and the spacer may also be an organic structure fabricated on the same layer as the planarization layer, for example, the organic protection layer 25 is fabricated on the same layer as the planarization layer, and the organic cladding layer includes the organic protection layer 2. The organic clad layer may include at least one of Polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), acrylate, epoxy, and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).
The amorphous silicon generates Si plasma in the process of fabricating the connection layer 23 by PECVD, so that the amorphous silicon and the organic coating layer form H-H covalent bonds, thereby generating relatively strong adhesive force to form a firm bonding interface.
As can be seen from the above description, by providing the connection layer 23, a covalent bond can be formed with the barrier layer 17, the thin film encapsulation layer 11 and the organic coating layer, so as to generate a relatively strong adhesion force and form a firm bonding interface, thereby preventing Peeling from occurring between the touch panel and the display panel and improving the yield of products; and meanwhile, the bending and folding performance is improved, and the flexible display device is suitable for the flexible display device 1. In addition, the deposition of the connecting layer 23 and the deposition of the barrier layer 17 can be completed by the same equipment, and the connecting layer 23 is thin, so that the influence on the productivity and the cost is small.
The above embodiments are described by taking the display panel as a flexible display panel, and obviously, the embodiments can also be used for a display panel which cannot be deformed.
