In view of the above, the present invention provides a display panel and a display device, and the following detailed description is provided for specific embodiments of the display panel and the display device provided by the present invention.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, fig. 2 is a schematic plan view of a display panel 100 according to the present invention, and fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along direction M-M' of fig. 2.
In this embodiment, the display panel 100 includes a display area AA and a non-display area BB at least partially surrounding the display area AA, and the display panel 100 further includes: a base substrate 1; the light-emitting layer 2 is located on one side of the substrate 1, and includes a plurality of light-emitting elements 3 located in the display area AA and a plurality of auxiliary light-emitting elements 4 located in the non-display area BB, and the auxiliary light-emitting elements 4 mix light with the adjacent light-emitting elements 3.
It should be noted that fig. 2 only illustrates that the orthographic projection of the display area AA on the substrate base plate 1 is rectangular, but of course, the orthographic projection of the display area AA on the substrate base plate 1 may also be circular, irregular, or the like. In fig. 2, the non-display area BB is disposed around the display area AA, fig. 2 only shows a case where the non-display area BB completely surrounds the display area AA, and the non-display area BB may partially surround the display area AA, which is not particularly limited herein. The non-display area BB includes a first non-display area BB1 and a second non-display area BB2, optionally, the plurality of auxiliary light emitting elements 4 may also be partially located in the first non-display area BB1 and partially located in the second non-display area BB2, or the plurality of auxiliary light emitting elements 4 are sequentially disposed in the non-display area BB surrounding the display area AA, which is not limited thereto, the number and arrangement of the auxiliary light emitting elements 4 in fig. 2 are also only schematic, and may be adjusted according to actual requirements, which is not specifically limited in this application, and the light emitting elements 3 and the auxiliary light emitting elements 4 are preferably micro light emitting diodes or mini light emitting diodes.
It can be understood that the light emitting colors of the auxiliary light emitting elements 4 may be different colors, and the auxiliary light emitting elements 4 provide brightness for the edge area of the display area AA in the display state, and mix light with the light emitting elements 3 closest to the non-display area BB, so as to improve the brightness of the edge of the display area AA and improve the problem that the brightness of the edge of the display area AA is lower than the brightness of the center of the display area AA, i.e. solve the problem that the edge of the display area AA is darker.
Compared with the prior art, the display panel 100 provided in this embodiment includes the light-emitting layer 2 including a plurality of light-emitting elements 3 located in the display area AA and a plurality of auxiliary light-emitting elements 4 located in the non-display area BB, and the auxiliary light-emitting elements 4 can mix light with the adjacent light-emitting elements 3. Part of the light emitting elements 3 are located at the edge of the display area AA, the light emitting elements 3 located at the edge of the display area AA are closest to the non-display area BB, that is, the light emitting elements 3 located at the edge of the display area AA are adjacent to the auxiliary light emitting elements 4, and the auxiliary light emitting elements 4 are in a bright state and mix with the light emitting elements 3 located at the edge of the display area AA, so that the brightness of the edge of the display area AA is improved, the brightness uniformity of the center of the display area AA and the edge of the display area AA is improved, and the display performance is improved.
In some alternative embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and fig. 4, fig. 4 is another cross-sectional view taken along the direction M-M' in fig. 2, along a direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate base plate 1, a distance between one end of the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 away from the display area AA and the substrate base plate 1 is a, and a distance between one end of the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 close to the display area AA and the substrate base plate 1 is B, where a > B.
It should be noted that fig. 4 only illustrates a case that the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is disposed in an inclined manner compared to the plane of the substrate 1, optionally, the height of the pins of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 may be set to be different so that the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is inclined, or another structure is provided to raise one end of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 so that the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is inclined, but is not limited thereto. Fig. 4 also shows the driving transistor, the buffer layer 11, the planarization layer 12 and the interlayer insulating layer, the substrate 1, the buffer layer 11 and the interlayer insulating layer are not filled with patterns, and the light L1 of the light emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light emitting element 4 is inclined toward the display area AA.
It can be understood that, because the distance between the end of the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 close to the display area AA and the substrate 1 is different from the distance between the end of the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 far from the display area AA and the substrate 1, that is, the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is inclined with respect to the substrate 1, and the inclined light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 faces the display area AA, the amount of light incident into the display area AA along the direction from the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 to the display area AA is greatly increased, so as to mix light with the light-emitting elements 3 at the edge of the display area AA, so that the light mixing efficiency is increased, the edge brightness of the display area AA can be further increased, and the problem that the brightness at the edge of the display area AA close to the non-display area BB is lower than the brightness at the middle position of the display area AA is solved.
In some alternative embodiments, in combination with fig. 2 and 5, fig. 5 is another cross-sectional view taken along line M-M' in fig. 2, and the display panel 100 provided in this embodiment further includes a raised portion 6; the raised part 6 is at least partially overlapped with the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 along the direction vertical to the plane of the substrate base plate 1; in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate base plate 1, the thickness of the end of the raised portion 6 close to the display area AA is smaller than the thickness of the end of the raised portion 6 far from the display area AA.
It should be noted that fig. 5 only illustrates that the raised portion 6 is located between the substrate base plate 1 and the array layer 10, and a cross section of the raised portion 6 along a direction perpendicular to a plane of the substrate base plate 1 is a triangle, optionally, the raised portion 6 may be located between the array layer 10 and the light emitting layer 2, or between any two adjacent interlayer insulating layers in the array layer 10, and the like.
It can be understood that, the raised portion 6 is disposed in the non-display area BB, the side of the raised portion 6 away from the substrate base plate 1 is inclined toward the display area AA, the thickness of the portion of the array layer 10 located on the side of the raised portion 6 away from the substrate base plate 1 is equal to the thickness of the portion of the array layer 10 located in the display area AA, such that the side of the array layer 10 located on the raised portion 6 away from the substrate base plate 1 is an inclined plane, and the inclined angle of the inclined plane is the same as the inclined angle of the raised portion 6 away from the substrate base plate 1, and similarly, since the light-emitting layer 2 and the array layer 10 are disposed on the raised layer 6, the side of the light-emitting layer 2 or other film layers located on the raised portion 6 away from the substrate base plate 1 is also an inclined plane, the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is also an inclined plane, the light of the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 faces the display area AA, the light mixing efficiency is improved, and the edge brightness of the display area AA can be further improved, the problem that the brightness of the display area AA near the edge of the non-display area BB is lower than that of the middle of the display area AA is solved.
In some alternative embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and 6, fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line M-M' of fig. 2, and the display panel 100 provided in this embodiment further includes a functional layer 7; the functional layer 7 comprises a first area 8 and a second area 9 at least partially surrounding the first area 8, the first area 8 at least partially overlapping the display area AA in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the base substrate 1, the second area 9 being provided with a raised portion 6.
It should be noted that, fig. 6 only illustrates that the functional layer 7 is located between the array layer 10 and the light emitting layer 2, optionally, the functional layer 7 may also be located between the substrate base plate 1 and the array layer 10, because the second region 9 of the functional layer 7 is provided with the raised portion 6, one side of the raised portion 6, which is away from the substrate base plate 1, is inclined toward the display area AA, and a film layer, which is away from one side of the substrate base plate 1, of the raised portion 6 is not changed or approximately not changed in thickness in a subsequent manufacturing process, so that the film layers, which are away from one side of the substrate base plate 1, of the raised portion 6 all have inclined surfaces, and the inclined angles are the same as the inclined angles, which are away from one side of the substrate base plate 1, of the raised portion 6, and optionally, the functional layer 7 is a film layer that is conventionally arranged when the display panel 100 is manufactured. Specifically, the functional layer 7 may be formed by forming a planar functional layer 7, performing grooving or exposure on the first region 8 of the functional layer 7 to form the raised portion 6 with an inclined surface on the second region 9, or directly forming the raised portion 6 with an inclined surface on the second region 9 of the functional layer 7 by exposure or stamping, and the material of the functional layer 7 may be organic material or inorganic material, and the organic material in the display panel 100 may be a thicker film layer, preferably an organic material, which is not limited in this embodiment.
It can be understood that the functional layer 7 is used for raising the non-display area BB, so that the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 disposed in the non-display area BB is inclined toward the display area AA, and most of the light of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 enters the display area AA to mix with the light-emitting element 3 at the edge of the display area AA, so that the light mixing efficiency is high, and the problem of darker edge of the display area AA is effectively solved.
In some alternative embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 2 and 6, the array layer 10 is located on the side of the substrate base plate 1 near the light-emitting layer 2; the functional layer 7 is positioned on one side of the array layer 10 far away from the substrate base plate 1; the functional layer 7 is reused as a planarization layer 12.
It should be understood that the inclination angle of the side of the raised portion 6 of the functional layer 7 away from the substrate 1 in fig. 6 is only an illustration and can be set according to practical requirements, and the present embodiment is not particularly limited. In manufacturing the display panel 100, the array layer 10 is first manufactured on the substrate base plate 1, and since the surface of the film layer is uneven due to the routing of various metal signals such as the source and drain of the driving transistor in the array layer 10, the planarization layer 12 is provided on the array layer 10, and the film layer is planarized. Due to the effect of the planarization film layer, the thickness of the planarization film layer is relatively thicker than that of other insulation layers, and the planarization film layer is more suitable for manufacturing an inclined raising layer; further, by reusing the functional layer 7 as the planarizing layer 12, the number of manufacturing processes can be reduced, and it is not necessary to separately manufacture one functional layer 7 to form the raised portion 6. The raised portion 6 of the functional layer 7 can raise the auxiliary light emitting element 4 in the non-display area BB, so that the light emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light emitting element 4 is inclined, and the light emitted from the light emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light emitting element 4 is mixed with the light emitting element 3 at the edge of the display area AA, thereby improving the problem of low brightness at the edge of the display area AA, reducing the thickness of the display panel 100, and realizing the lightness and thinness of the display panel 100.
In some alternative embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and 7, fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line M-M' in fig. 2, and the present embodiment provides a display panel 100 further including: the array layer 10 is positioned on one side of the substrate base plate 1 close to the light-emitting layer 2; the functional layer 7 is located in the middle of the base substrate 1 and the array layer 10.
It can be understood that, in fig. 7, only the functional layer 7 is illustrated as being located between the substrate base plate 1 and the array layer 10, and the raised portion 6 of the functional layer 7 raises the auxiliary light emitting element 4 in the non-display area BB, so that the light emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light emitting element 4 is inclined toward the display area AA; optionally, a film layer structure may be separately fabricated on the substrate 1 as the functional layer 7; optionally, the functional layer 7 may also be reused as the buffer layer 11 between the substrate 1 and the array layer 10, the buffer layer 11 is a film layer that is provided in the display panel 100 itself, and by reusing the functional layer 7 as the buffer layer 11, the manufacturing process can be reduced, and it is not necessary to separately manufacture one functional layer 7 to form the raised portion 6, so that most of light of the auxiliary light emitting element 4 enters the display area AA and is mixed with the light emitting element 3 at the edge of the display area AA, the light mixing effect is better, and the problem that the brightness at the edge of the display area AA is lower than the brightness at the middle position of the display area AA is effectively improved. Optionally, the functional layer 7 is located between the substrate base plate 1 and the array layer 10, and may be reused as the buffer layer 11 between the substrate base plate 1 and the array layer 10, so that the thickness of the display panel 100 can also be reduced, and the display panel 100 is light and thin.
In some alternative embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 2 and 6, the material of the functional layer 7 is an organic insulating material.
It can be understood that, when the inclination angle of the light emitting surface 5 of the raised portion 6 is larger, the thickness of the raised portion 6 at the end away from the display area AA is also higher, and since the organic insulating material can be used for manufacturing a thicker film layer, the thickness requirement of the functional layer 7 at the time when the inclination angle of the light emitting surface 5 of the raised portion 6 is larger can be met, and therefore, the material of the functional layer 7 is preferably the organic insulating material, which is beneficial to implementation.
In some alternative embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and 8, fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the direction M-M' in fig. 2, the auxiliary light emitting element 4 includes a first lead 41 and a second lead 42, the second lead 42 is located on a side of the first lead 41 close to the display area AA, and the length of the first lead 41 is greater than that of the second lead 42 along a direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate base 1.
It should be noted that fig. 8 only illustrates that the first pin 41 and the second pin 42 of the auxiliary light emitting device 4 are not equal, the second pin 42 is located on one side of the first pin 41 close to the display area AA, the length of the first pin 41 is greater than that of the second pin 42, the light emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light emitting device 4 is inclined toward one side of the display area AA, and most of the light emitted by the auxiliary light emitting device 4 enters the edge of the display area AA to mix with the light emitting device 3; if the length of the first leads 41 is smaller than the length of the second leads 42, the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is inclined toward the side away from the display area AA, and the light emitted from the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 cannot enter the display area AA.
It can be understood that by setting different lengths of the pins of the auxiliary light emitting element 4, the inclination direction and the inclination angle of the light emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light emitting element 4 can be changed, so that most of the light emitted from the light emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light emitting element 4 is emitted into the display area AA and mixed with the light emitting elements 3 at the edge of the display area AA, thereby improving the problem of darker brightness at the edge of the display area AA.
In some alternative embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 2 and 8, the included angle θ between the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 and the plane of the substrate 1 is in the range of 5 ° to 60 °.
It can be understood that, in fig. 8, the dotted line 13 is parallel to the plane of the substrate base plate 1, the included angle between the dotted line 13 and the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is 5 ° to 60 °, and optionally, the included angle between the dotted line 13 and the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 may be 5 ° or 60 °. If the included angle between the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 and the dotted line 13 is smaller than 5 °, the included angle between the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 and the dotted line 13 is too small, and the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is approximately parallel to the plane of the substrate 1, so that most of the light emitted from the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 cannot enter the display area AA and mix with the light-emitting elements 3 at the edge of the display area AA, and the light mixing effect is weak; if the included angle between the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 and the plane of the substrate 1 is greater than 60 °, the inclination angle of the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is too large, so that the height difference between the end of the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 away from the display area AA and the end of the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 close to the display area AA is too large, which results in an increase in the thickness of the display panel 100, and the stability of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is also affected by the too large inclination angle, therefore, the included angle between the light-emitting surface 5 of the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 and the plane of the substrate 1 is preferably within a range of 5 ° to 60 °, but not limited thereto.
In some alternative embodiments, with continuing reference to fig. 2, and with further reference to fig. 9 and 10, fig. 9 is a schematic plan structure diagram of another display panel 100 provided by the present invention, and fig. 10 is a schematic plan structure diagram of another display panel 100 provided by the present invention, where the light-emitting element 3 includes a first light-emitting element 31, the first light-emitting element 31 is adjacent to the auxiliary light-emitting element 4 along a direction from the non-display area BB to the display area AA, and a light-emitting color of at least one auxiliary light-emitting element 4 is different from a light-emitting color of the first light-emitting element 31 closest to the first light-emitting element 4.
It should be noted that fig. 9 only illustrates the array arrangement of the light emitting elements 3 in the display area AA, the light emitting elements 3 are sequentially arranged in the column direction Y to form a light emitting element column, the first light emitting element 31 is located in the first light emitting element column, the auxiliary light emitting elements 4 are sequentially arranged in the column direction Y to form an auxiliary light emitting element column, in the row direction X, the first light emitting element column is flush with the auxiliary light emitting element column, the light emitting element 3 in the first light emitting element column has a different light emitting color from its adjacent auxiliary light emitting element 4, the colors of the plurality of auxiliary light emitting elements 4 may be the same, and optionally, the light emitting colors of any two adjacent auxiliary light emitting elements 4 in the auxiliary light emitting element column in the column direction Y are different, or the light emitting colors of at least two auxiliary light emitting elements 4 are different.
Fig. 10 only illustrates that the light emitting elements 3 are sequentially arranged in the column direction Y to form a light emitting element column, different light emitting elements 3 can emit light of different colors, the first light emitting element 31 is located in the first light emitting element column, the auxiliary light emitting elements 4 are sequentially arranged in the column direction Y to form an auxiliary light emitting element column, the first light emitting element column is staggered with the auxiliary light emitting element column, the light emitting element 3 in the first light emitting element column has a different light emitting color from the adjacent auxiliary light emitting element 4, and the light emitting colors of any two adjacent auxiliary light emitting elements 4 in the auxiliary light emitting element column in the column direction Y are different, alternatively, the light emitting colors of a plurality of auxiliary light emitting elements 4 are all the same, or the light emitting colors of at least two auxiliary light emitting elements 4 are different.
It can be understood that, in the row direction X, whether the auxiliary light emitting element 4 is flush with the light emitting elements 3 at the edge of the display area AA can provide brightness for mixing with the light emitting elements 3 at the edge of the display area AA, so as to improve the problem that the brightness at the edge of the display area AA is lower than the brightness at the middle of the display area AA. When the light emitting color of the auxiliary light emitting element 4 is the same as the light emitting color of the first light emitting element 31 closest to the auxiliary light emitting element 4, the auxiliary light emitting element 4 and the first light emitting element 31 perform light mixing to improve the brightness; when the emission color of the auxiliary light emitting element 4 is different from the emission color of the first light emitting element 31 which is closest thereto, the occurrence of color shift can be avoided while improving the luminance.
In some alternative embodiments, at least one auxiliary light emitting element 4 is a white light emitting element.
It can be understood that, at least one auxiliary light emitting element 4 is a white light emitting element, and since the luminance of the white light emitting element is higher than the luminance of the red, green or blue light emitting element under the same condition, it is more beneficial to increase the luminance at the edge of the display area AA, and further improve the phenomenon that the luminance at the edge of the display area AA is darker.
In some optional embodiments, with continuing reference to fig. 2, the light emitting element 3 further includes a second light emitting element 32 adjacent to the first light emitting element 31, the second light emitting element 32 is located on a side of the first light emitting element 31 away from the auxiliary light emitting element 4, and the light emitting color of the second light emitting element 32 is different from the light emitting color of the first light emitting element 31 and the light emitting color of the auxiliary light emitting element 4.
