Ultra-thin display screens have been a research hotspot in the display field. The touch electrode is integrated into the display panel to form the display screen with the built-in touch electrode, so that the display screen is an effective means for realizing lighter and thinner display screen.
In the display screen with the built-in touch electrode, mutual capacitive touch can still be realized. One conventional approach is to arrange a plurality of touch driving electrodes and a plurality of touch sensing electrodes in the same layer, and the extending mode of the touch driving electrodes is different from the extending direction of the touch sensing electrodes, so as to realize touch action recognition by using the capacitance between the touch driving electrodes and the touch sensing electrodes.

The applicant has provided a solution to the problems existing in the prior art by intensive studies.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a display panel according to another embodiment of the present application, and fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view along the MN direction in fig. 1 and 2.
The present application provides a display panel, please refer to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3, which includes a pixel defining layer 10 and a touch electrode layer 20.
The pixel defining layer 10 includes a plurality of first openings 11, a plurality of second openings 12, and a plurality of third openings 13, and the first openings 11, the second openings 12, and the third openings 13 may be used to provide light emitting devices. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, along the first direction X, the length of the first opening 11 is greater than the length of the second opening 12, and the length of the first opening 11 is greater than the length of the third opening 13. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, among the openings for accommodating the light emitting devices provided in the pixel defining layer 10, the first opening 11 has the longest length in the first direction X; and the length of the first opening 11 in the first direction X is greater than the length thereof in the second direction Y, which intersects the first direction X.
The touch electrode layer 20 is located on a side of the pixel defining layer 10 facing the light emitting surface of the display panel, and in the manufacturing process of the display panel, the manufacturing step of the touch electrode layer 20 is subsequent to the manufacturing step of the pixel defining layer 10. The touch electrode layer 20 includes a plurality of touch electrode blocks 21, wherein some adjacent touch electrode blocks 21 are electrically connected through a first connection electrode 22, and another adjacent touch electrode block 21 is electrically connected through a second connection electrode 31.
The first connection electrode 22 and the touch electrode layer 20 are disposed on the same layer, and the second connection electrode 31 and the touch electrode layer 20 are disposed on different layers. That is, part of adjacent touch electrode blocks 21 are electrically connected through the first connection electrode 22 of the same layer, and part of adjacent touch electrode blocks 21 are electrically connected in a jumper manner through the second connection electrode 31 of the different layer.
Wherein, the included angle between the extending direction of at least part of the second connecting electrodes 31 and the first direction X is a first included angle alpha, and 0 degrees is less than or equal to 90 degrees. That is, at least part of the second connection electrode 31 extends at an angle greater than 0 ° to the longitudinal direction of the first opening 11. The extending direction of the second connection electrode 31 may be understood as a direction in which a first end and a second end of the second connection electrode 31 are connected, where the first end is one end of the second connection electrode 31 connected to one touch electrode block, and the second end is the other end of the second connection electrode 31 connected to the other touch electrode block.
Fig. 4 is a graph showing the effect of the display panel according to the embodiment of the present application compared with that of the display panel in the prior art. In fig. 4, the (a) set of effect contrast charts and the (b) set of effect contrast charts are respectively the second connection electrode visibility effect diagrams at different viewing angles, wherein the viewing angle of the (a) set of effect contrast charts is smaller than that of the (b) set of effect contrast charts. (a) The left diagrams in the group (a) and the right diagrams in the group (b) both show the visibility effect schematic diagram of the second connection electrode in the prior art, and the right diagrams in the group (a) and the group (b) both show the visibility effect schematic diagram of the second connection electrode in the application.
The inventor analyzes the problem of black dark lines of a large visual angle of a display screen with the touch electrode blocks arranged on the same layer, and finds out the following problem. The black dark line is the second connection electrode 31' at a large viewing angle, i.e., the second connection electrode 31' blocks light emitted from the light emitting device in the first opening 11' at a certain large viewing angle, resulting in a black dark line. The closer the distance between the second connection electrode 31 'and the first opening 11', the more remarkable the black dark line is generated. The visual rule of the black dark line is that the larger the visual angle is, the more obvious the dark line is; the smaller the distance between the second connection electrode 31 'and the first opening 11', the more pronounced the dark line. When there is overlap of the second connection electrode 31 'with the first opening 11' due to a process error, a dark line is very noticeable.
The inventors have analyzed the above problems, and the main reason is that the length of the second connection electrode 31' is longer than that of the connection electrode on the same layer as the touch electrode block and the second connection electrode 31' is parallel to the length direction of the first opening 11 '. Therefore, the shielding effect of the second connection electrode 31 'on the light emitted by the light emitting device is more obvious under certain specific viewing angles, so that the second connection electrode 31' is easily recognized by human eyes under the specific viewing angles; and when there is a partial overlap of the second connection electrode 31' with the first opening 11', the risk of the second connection electrode 31' being recognized by the human eye increases.
Here, the reason why the shielding effect of the light emitted from the light emitting device by the second connection electrode 31' is obvious in the related art will be described with reference to fig. 4. As shown in the left diagram of the (a) group effect diagram and the (b) group effect diagram in fig. 4, since the extending direction of the second connection electrode 31' is parallel to the length direction of the first opening 11', the shielding effect of each position of the portion of the second connection electrode 31' adjacent to the first opening 11' on the light emitted by the light emitting device in the first opening 11' is the same under certain viewing angles. Then, the portions of the second connection electrode 31 'adjacent to the first opening 11' are completely visible under the viewing angles.
Based on the above, the inventor proposes a new display panel integrated with a touch function.
In the display panel provided in this embodiment of the present application, since the included angle between the extending direction of the second connection electrode 31 and the length direction of the first opening 11 is greater than 0 °, that is, the extending direction of the second connection electrode 31 is designed to be inclined with respect to the length direction of the first opening 11.
Referring to fig. 4, in the portion of the second connection electrode 31 above the left side of the first opening 11, the shielding effect of the different positions on the light emitted by the light emitting device in the first opening 11 is different if the distances between the different positions and the first opening 11 are different. Specifically, under one viewing angle, only the positions of the second connection electrode 31 within a certain range from the first opening 11 will have a shielding effect on the light emitted by the light emitting device in the first opening 11, i.e. only the positions can be recognized by human eyes.
For example, in a portion of the second connection electrode 31 adjacent to the first opening 11 in the view angles shown in (a) and (b) of fig. 4, the second connection electrode 31 at a specific position blocks light emitted from the light emitting device in the first opening 11, resulting in the second connection electrode 31 at the position being visible; the second connection electrode 31 at the other position cannot block the light emitted from the light emitting device in the first opening 11, and the second connection electrode 31 is substantially invisible.
Therefore, by making the second connection electrode 31 inclined with respect to the length direction of the first opening 11, the shielding effect of the second connection electrode 31 on the light emitted from the light emitting device at a large viewing angle can be reduced. Furthermore, even if there is a process error such that the second connection electrode 31 overlaps the first opening 11, the overlapping area of the two is reduced relative to the related art due to the oblique design of the second connection electrode 31. Therefore, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the application can effectively solve the problem of black dark lines under a large visual angle.
In addition, since the first opening 11, the second opening 12 and the third opening 13 each include edges parallel to the first direction X, the angle between the extending direction of the second connection electrode 31 and the first direction X is greater than 0 °, and the angle between the second connection electrode 31 and the length direction of the first opening 11, the length direction/width direction of the second opening 12 and the length direction/width direction of the third opening is greater than 0 °. Based on the above molecules, the shielding of the light emitted from the light emitting devices in the second opening 12, the third opening 13 by the second connection electrode 31 is also reduced.
And since the length/width of each of the second opening 12 and the third opening 13 is smaller than that of the first opening 11, the light emitted from the light emitting devices in the second opening 12 and the third opening 13 is not significantly blocked by the second connection electrode 31.
As shown in fig. 3, the light emitting device includes a light emitting material layer 41, and a first electrode 42 and a second electrode 43 disposed at both sides of the light emitting material layer 41. For example, the light emitting material layer may be an organic light emitting material layer, and one of the first electrode 42 and the second electrode 43 may be an anode and the other may be a cathode. In addition, the display panel may further include a pixel circuit CT electrically connected to the first electrode 42.
In the embodiment of the present application, light emitting devices of different colors may be disposed in the first opening 11, the second opening 12, and the third opening 13, respectively.
The second connection electrode 31 may be disposed between the pixel defining layer 10 and the touch electrode layer 20, or may be disposed on a side of the touch electrode layer 20 away from the pixel defining layer 10. The preparation step of the second connection electrode 31 follows the preparation step of the light emitting device.
In addition, as shown in fig. 3, the touch electrode layer 20 is located at a side of the light emitting device away from the pixel defining layer 10, i.e. the preparation step of the touch electrode layer 20 is after the preparation steps of the light emitting device and the pixel defining layer 10.
Alternatively, the touch electrode layer 20 may be disposed in the same layer as the second electrode 43 in the light emitting device, or the touch electrode layer 20 may multiplex the second electrode 43, where the second electrode 43 is close to the light emitting surface of the display panel relative to the second electrode 41.
In a technical solution corresponding to the present embodiment, please refer to fig. 1 and 2, the touch electrode blocks 21 arranged along the first direction X are electrically connected, and the touch electrode blocks 21 arranged along the second direction Y are electrically connected. The touch electrode blocks 21 arranged along the first direction X may form a touch sensing electrode or a touch driving electrode, the touch electrode blocks 21 arranged along the second direction Y may form a touch driving electrode or a touch sensing electrode, and the touch driving electrode is electrically insulated from the touch sensing electrode.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the plurality of touch electrode blocks 21 includes a plurality of first touch electrode blocks 21a and a plurality of second touch electrode blocks 21b, and the first touch electrode blocks 21a are electrically insulated from the second touch electrode blocks 21b.

That is, as shown in fig. 1, among the first touch electrode blocks 21a arranged and electrically connected along the first direction X, adjacent first touch electrode blocks 21a are all electrically connected through the second connection electrode 31; among the second touch electrode blocks 21b arranged and electrically connected in the second direction Y, the adjacent second touch electrode blocks 21b are all electrically connected through the first connection electrode 22. The second direction Y may intersect the first direction X.
In this embodiment, the connection electrodes included in each touch driving electrode are all the first connection electrodes 22 or all the second connection electrodes 31, and the connection electrodes included in each touch sensing electrode are all the second connection electrodes 31 or all the first connection electrodes 22, so that the loads in each touch driving electrode are basically the same, and the loads in each touch sensing electrode are basically the same, thereby improving the uniformity of touch accuracy.

When the second connection electrodes 31 are connected to the touch electrode blocks 21 arranged along the second direction Y, a smaller included angle exists between the extending directions of the second connection electrodes 31 and the second direction Y, and a larger included angle exists between the extending directions of the second connection electrodes 31 and the first direction X, so that the risk that the first opening is blocked by the second connection electrodes 31 can be further reduced, and the problem of black dark lines under a large viewing angle can be effectively improved.

The arrangement of the second connection electrodes 31 in the plurality of extending directions in the first direction X can further solve the black dark line problem at a large viewing angle in the second direction Y.
Fig. 14 is a schematic projection view of an opening in a pixel defining layer and a second connection electrode in a display panel.

That is, gaps exist between the first openings 11 adjacently arranged in the first direction X, and the gaps include first gaps and second gaps having different widths.
The width of the first gap along the first direction X is larger than that of the second gap along the first direction X. For example, as shown in fig. 14, the width of the first gap in the first direction X is H1, and the width of the second gap in the first direction X is H2, H1 > H2.
In the thickness direction of the display panel, at least part of the projection of the second connection electrode 31 overlaps with the projection of the first gap. That is, the second connection electrode 31 passes over the gap between the two first openings 11 arranged in the first direction X, and the distance between the first openings 11 located at both sides of the second connection electrode 31 in the first direction X is relatively large.
The probability that the second connection electrode 31 disposed over the first gap overlaps the first opening 11 is greatly reduced and light emitted from the light emitting device is not blocked in a large range even if it is reduced, effectively solving the problem of a black dark line of a large viewing angle.

Fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of the present application.
The embodiment of the application provides a display device, as shown in fig. 15, including the display panel 01 provided in any one of the embodiments. The display device provided in the embodiment of the application may be a mobile phone, and in addition, the display device provided in the embodiment of the application may also be a display device such as a computer, a television, and the like.
In the display panel and the display device provided by the embodiments of the application, because the included angle between the second connection electrode and the length direction of the first opening is greater than 0 °, the second connection electrode is designed to be inclined relative to the length direction of the first opening. The shielding effect of the second connection electrode on the light emitted from the light emitting device at a large viewing angle can be reduced. And even if there is a process error such that there is overlap between the second connection electrode and the first opening, the overlapping area of the second connection electrode and the first opening is reduced relative to the prior art due to the oblique design of the second connection electrode. Therefore, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the application can effectively solve the problem of black dark lines under a large visual angle.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention is not intended to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
