As shown in fig. 3, the light-emitting function layer 303 is provided on the side of the pixel defining layer 302 away from the substrate 10, and the light-emitting function layer 303 is in contact with the anode L1 through the opening K.
For example, at least a part of the light-emitting functional layer 303 is located in the opening K of the pixel defining layer 302 and is in contact with the anode L1 located on the side of the pixel defining layer 302 close to the substrate 10.
Illustratively, the light emitting function layer 303 includes a light emitting pattern L3, and the light emitting pattern L3 may include a small molecule organic material or a polymer molecule organic material, may be a fluorescent light emitting material or a phosphorescent light emitting material, may emit red light, blue light, green light, or white light, or the like.
Illustratively, the material of the light emitting pattern L3 capable of emitting light of different colors is different.
As shown in fig. 3, the display panel 200 further includes a cathode layer 304, serving as a cathode L2, disposed on a side of the light emitting function layer 303 away from the substrate 10 and configured to supply a low-level voltage, for example, a voltage of 0V, to the light emitting function layer 303. The light emitting pattern L3 is provided between the anode layer 301 and the cathode layer 304, and a high level voltage applied to the anode layer 301 (i.e., the anode L1) and a low level voltage applied to the cathode layer 304 (i.e., the cathode L2) form an electric field, thereby driving holes in the anode L1 and electrons in the cathode L2 to migrate to the light emitting function layer 303 and recombine in the light emitting pattern L3, so that the light emitting layer L3 emits light.
Illustratively, the cathode layer 304 is made of a metal or alloy material. The metal material is, for example, a metal such as aluminum, silver, or magnesium, and the alloy material is, for example, a magnesium-silver alloy or a silver-lithium alloy.
Illustratively, the light emitting function Layer 303 further includes a common Layer 305, and the common Layer 305 includes one or more of an Electron Transport Layer (ETL), an Electron Injection Layer (EIL), a Hole Blocking Layer (HBL), a Hole Transport Layer (HTL), a Hole Injection Layer (HIL), and an Electron Blocking Layer (EBL).
The common layer 305 serves as a transition medium for carriers (including the aforementioned electrons and holes) to migrate to the light emitting pattern L3, thereby reducing the barrier height to be overcome for carrier transition and improving the light emitting efficiency of the display panel 200. The higher the conductivity of the common layer 305, the higher the light emitting efficiency of the display panel 200.
Illustratively, the common layer 305 is a structure in which the entire layers are connected, that is, the common layer 305 is shared by the light emitting patterns L3 emitting different colors.
As shown in fig. 3, at least one conductive pattern R is provided on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 303 close to the substrate 10; the orthographic projection of the conductive pattern R on the substrate 10 is located between the orthographic projections of the adjacent two anodes L1 on the substrate 10, and the conductive pattern R is in contact with the light-emitting functional layer 303, and the conductive pattern R is configured to transmit a blocking voltage that is smaller than an operating voltage transmitted by the anode L1 adjacent to the conductive pattern R.
The term "adjacent" in the "anode L1 adjacent to the conductive pattern R" means that the orthographic projection of the anode L1 on the substrate 10 is adjacent to the orthographic projection of the conductive pattern R on the substrate 10.
Exemplarily, the conductive pattern R is in contact with the common layer 305 in the light emitting function layer 303. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the conductive pattern R is in contact with the hole transport layer HTL in the light emitting function layer 303.
Illustratively, the blocking voltage conveys a low level voltage, e.g., the blocking voltage is 0V, -1V, -2V, etc.
In the related art, in order to improve the light emitting efficiency of the display panel, the material of the common layer is usually selected to have higher conductivity, which causes a charge transfer phenomenon (i.e., the flow and transmission of carriers between adjacent sub-pixels) in the common layer between adjacent sub-pixels; moreover, with the improvement of the resolution of the display panel, the distance between adjacent sub-pixels is closer and closer, the charge transfer difficulty of the common layer between adjacent sub-pixels is reduced, and the charge transfer phenomenon is aggravated; in addition, the two parts of the common layer corresponding to the two adjacent sub-pixels emitting different colors have different carrier densities, and the carriers easily flow from the side with higher density to the side with lower density, so that the charge transfer phenomenon is aggravated; in addition, when the luminance of two adjacent sub-pixels is different, that is, the working voltage of the anode is different, a weak electric field is formed between the two adjacent sub-pixels, and the electric charges in the common layer are more easily transferred under the driving of the electric field.
As shown in fig. 4, the inventors of the present disclosure have studied and found that a charge transfer phenomenon easily occurs between the sub-pixels P' adjacently disposed, so that a crosstalk current (arrow Z is a carrier transmission direction) is generated, and a display effect of the display panel is affected. For example, when one of two adjacent sub-pixels P 'needs to emit light and the other does not need to emit light, the sub-pixel P' which does not need to emit light is slightly bright due to crosstalk current caused by a charge transfer phenomenon, and poor display occurs; for another example, the sub-pixel P 'needs to emit light meeting the brightness requirement, and when crosstalk current is generated due to charge migration, the luminance of the sub-pixel P' may deviate, so that it cannot display accurate color.
In the display panel 200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, by disposing the conductive pattern R between the adjacent sub-pixels P and contacting (i.e., electrically connecting) the conductive pattern R with the light emitting function layer 303, the transmission of carriers in the common layer 305 between the adjacent sub-pixels P can be blocked under the condition that the blocking voltage transmitted by the conductive pattern R is less than the operating voltage transmitted by the anode L1 of the sub-pixel P adjacent to the conductive pattern R.
For example, as shown in fig. 5, charges diffused between two adjacent sub-pixels P are transferred toward the conductive pattern R (the first arrow Z1 and the second arrow Z2 are the transmission direction of carriers), so that the charge transfer between the two adjacent sub-pixels P is interrupted, a crosstalk current is prevented from being generated between the two sub-pixels P, problems such as poor display caused by the crosstalk current are prevented, the accuracy of the display luminance of the sub-pixels P is improved, and the display effect of the display panel 200 is improved.
As shown in fig. 3, the driving circuit layer 20 illustratively includes an active layer 201, a first gate insulating layer 202, a first gate conductive layer 203, a second gate insulating layer 204, a second gate conductive layer 205, an interlayer dielectric layer 206, a source-drain conductive layer 21, and a planarization layer 22, which are sequentially stacked and disposed on the substrate 10. An anode layer 301 is disposed over the planarization layer 22.
Alternatively, only one layer or a plurality of layers may be provided for the source-drain conductive layer 21. In the case where the source-drain conductive layer 21 is provided in a plurality of layers, the planarization layer 22 is also provided in a plurality of layers.

It should be noted that the conductive pattern R is insulated from the anode L1.
It is understood that the conductive pattern R is disposed in the same layer as the anode L1. The "same layer" refers to a layer structure formed by forming a film layer for forming a specific pattern by the same film formation process and then performing a patterning process once using the same mask plate. Depending on the specific pattern, the single patterning process may include multiple exposure, development or etching processes, and the specific pattern in the formed layer structure may be continuous or discontinuous, and the specific patterns may be at different heights or have different thicknesses.
By arranging the conductive pattern R on the anode layer 301, the crosstalk current generated between two adjacent sub-pixels P is blocked, the display effect of the display panel 200 is improved, and meanwhile, the conductive pattern R can be simultaneously manufactured in the process of manufacturing the anode L1 without increasing the process of independently manufacturing the conductive pattern R, so that the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the display panel 200 is reduced, and the process cost is reduced.

The conductive pattern R is disposed on a side of the anode layer 301 close to the substrate 10, and is convenient for the conductive pattern R to be electrically connected to a signal line in the driving circuit layer 20 for transmitting a low-level voltage while blocking a crosstalk current generated between two adjacent sub-pixels P, so as to improve a display effect of the display panel 200.
Illustratively, the display panel 200 includes a source-drain conductive layer 21 disposed between the substrate 10 and the anode layer 301, the source-drain conductive layer 21 being a target conductive layer M', and a conductive pattern R disposed on the source-drain conductive layer 21. Wherein the insulating layer N comprises a planarization layer 22 between the anode layer 301 and the source drain conductive layer 21.
Illustratively, in the case where the source-drain conductive layer 21 is provided with a plurality of layers, the layer closest to the anode layer 301 is the target conductive layer M'.
For example, as shown in fig. 7, the source-drain conductive layer 21 includes a first source-drain conductive layer 207 and a second source-drain conductive layer 210, and accordingly, the planarization layer 22 includes a first planarization layer 209 and a second planarization layer 211, the first planarization layer 209 is disposed between the first source-drain conductive layer 207 and the second source-drain conductive layer 210, and the second planarization layer 211 is disposed between the second source-drain conductive layer 210 and the anode layer 301.
With respect to the first source-drain conductive layer 207, the second source-drain conductive layer 210 closer to the anode layer 301 is the target conductive layer M', the conductive pattern R is disposed on the second source-drain conductive layer 210, at this time, the insulating layer N includes a second planarization layer 211 disposed between the anode layer 301 and the second source-drain conductive layer 210, the second planarization layer 211 is provided with a second via hole H2, and the conductive pattern R is electrically connected to the light-emitting function layer 303 through the second via hole H2 and the first via hole H1 of the pixel defining layer 302.
Illustratively, the display panel 200 further includes a passivation layer 208 disposed between the first source-drain conductive layer 207 and the first planarization layer 209.
Illustratively, the second source-drain conductive layer 210 is provided with a connection pattern 210 ', and the anode L1 is electrically connected to the thin film transistor through the connection pattern 210'.
As shown in fig. 8, the display panel 200 further includes at least one via conductive layer 31 and a sub-insulating layer 32. At least one via conductive layer 31 is disposed between the source/drain conductive layer 21 and the anode layer 301, and a sub-insulating layer 32 is disposed between the via conductive layer 31 and the anode layer 301.

Illustratively, the material of the switching conductive layer 31 is a transparent material, for example, indium tin oxide.
As shown in fig. 9, in some embodiments, a first conductive pattern R1 and a second conductive pattern R2 are provided between adjacent two anodes L1; the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2 are arranged side by side in the direction of the center connecting line Li of the adjacent two anodes L1.
That is, the plurality of conductive patterns R include a first conductive pattern R1 and a second conductive pattern R2, and two conductive patterns R are disposed between two adjacent anodes L1, one of the conductive patterns R1 is the first conductive pattern R1, and the other is the second conductive pattern R2.
Wherein the first conductive pattern R1 is configured to transmit a first blocking voltage, and the second conductive pattern R2 is configured to transmit a second blocking voltage, both of which are less than an operating voltage transmitted by the sub-pixel P disposed adjacent to the two conductive patterns R (i.e., an operating voltage transmitted by the anode L1).
For example, as shown in fig. 9, a first conductive pattern R1 and a second conductive pattern R2 are disposed between two adjacent sub-pixels P, and charges diffused by the sub-pixels P relatively closer to the first conductive pattern R1 are transferred toward the first conductive pattern R1, while charges diffused by the sub-pixels P relatively closer to the second conductive pattern R2 are transferred toward the second conductive pattern R2.
The first conductive pattern R1 transmits a first blocking voltage less than the operating voltage of the subpixel P so that charges in the subpixel P light emitting functional layer 303 adjacent to the first conductive pattern R1 may be transferred to the first conductive pattern R1 and may be blocked by the second conductive pattern R2 even if a part of residual charges still exist after the charges are transferred to the first conductive pattern R1 and may be blocked by the other subpixel P, and similarly, the second conductive pattern R2 transmits a second blocking voltage less than the operating voltage of the subpixel P so that charges in the subpixel P light emitting functional layer 303 adjacent to the second conductive pattern R2 may be transferred to the second conductive pattern R2 and may be blocked by the first conductive pattern R1 even if a part of residual charges still exist after the charges are transferred to the second conductive pattern R2 and may be transferred to the other subpixel P. By arranging two conductive patterns R (the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2) between two adjacent sub-pixels P, the blocking effect of the conductive patterns R on crosstalk current can be further enhanced, the accuracy of the light-emitting brightness of the sub-pixels P is improved, and the display effect of the display panel 200 is enhanced.
It should be noted that the above "the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2 are provided between two adjacent anodes L1" is not limited to the scheme that the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2 are provided on the anode layer 301, and may also include the scheme that the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2 are provided on other film layers (for example, the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2 are provided on the anode layer 301, the source-drain conductive layer 21, or the via conductive layer 31, etc.), that is, the "the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2 are provided between two adjacent anodes L1" may mean that the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2 are provided between two sub-pixels P corresponding to two adjacent anodes L1.
As shown in fig. 9, for example, two adjacent anodes L1 are a first anode L11 and a second anode L12, respectively, the first anode L11 is adjacent to the first conductive pattern R1, and the second anode L12 is adjacent to the second conductive pattern R2, that is, the first anode L11 is closer to the first conductive pattern R1 than the second anode L12, and the second anode L12 is closer to the second conductive pattern R2 than the first anode L11.
Wherein the first conductive pattern R1 is configured to transmit a first blocking voltage, the second conductive pattern R2 is configured to transmit a second blocking voltage, the first blocking voltage is greater than the second blocking voltage; the first anode L11 is configured to transmit an operating voltage greater than or equal to a first initial lighting voltage, and the second anode L12 is configured to transmit an operating voltage greater than or equal to a second initial lighting voltage, the second initial lighting voltage being greater than the first initial lighting voltage.
Note that the "first initial lighting voltage" is a light emission threshold voltage of the light emission pattern L3 corresponding to the first anode L11, that is, a lowest voltage at which the light emission pattern L3 corresponding to the first anode L11 can emit light; the "second initial lighting voltage" is a light emission threshold voltage of the light emission pattern L3 corresponding to the second anode L12, that is, the lowest voltage capable of causing the light emission pattern L3 corresponding to the second anode L12 to emit light.
By arranging the first conductive pattern R1 adjacent to the first anode L11 and the second conductive pattern R2 adjacent to the second anode L12, and the first blocking voltage transmitted by the first conductive pattern R1 is greater than the second blocking voltage transmitted by the second conductive pattern R2, the two conductive patterns R (the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2) between two adjacent sub-pixels P form an inverter, that is, a blocking current is formed between the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2, and the transfer direction of charges in the blocking current is opposite to the charge transfer tendency between the two adjacent sub-pixels P, so that the blocking effect on the crosstalk current between the adjacent sub-pixels P is further enhanced, the problems of poor display and the like caused by the crosstalk current are avoided, the accuracy of the light emission luminance of the sub-pixels P is improved, and the display effect of the display panel 200 is enhanced.
For example, as shown in fig. 10, when the operating voltage transmitted by the second anode L12 is greater than the operating voltage transmitted by the first anode L11, an electric field exists between the sub-pixel P corresponding to the second anode L12 and the sub-pixel P corresponding to the first anode L11, so that a phenomenon of charge transfer occurs in the light-emitting functional layer 303, a crosstalk current (arrow Z is a transmission direction of charges in the crosstalk current) directed from the second anode L12 to the first anode L11 is formed, and accuracy of light-emitting luminance of the two sub-pixels P is affected. By providing the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2 and making the first blocking voltage larger than the second blocking voltage so that an electric field exists between the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2, a blocking current directed from the first conductive pattern R1 to the second conductive pattern R2 is formed (arrow Z3 is a transfer direction of electric charges in the blocking current), the first conductive pattern R1 is closer to the first anode L11 than the second conductive pattern R2, and the transfer direction of the blocking current is opposite to the transfer direction of the aforementioned crosstalk current, thereby further preventing a charge transfer tendency between adjacent two sub-pixels P and enhancing the blocking effect of the conductive pattern R.
In some embodiments, the display panel 200 further includes a first power line VSS and/or an initialization signal line Vinit disposed between the substrate 10 and the anode layer 301. At least one conductive pattern R is electrically connected to the first power line VSS, and/or at least one conductive pattern R is electrically connected to the initialization signal line Vinit.
Wherein the first power line VSS is configured to transmit a low-level voltage signal, and the initialization signal line Vinit is configured to transmit an initialization signal. The voltage of the low-level voltage signal is greater than the voltage of the initialization signal, for example, the voltage of the low-level voltage signal is 0V, and the voltage of the initialization signal is-1V, -2V, -3V, -4.5V or-5V.
Illustratively, the initialization signal line Vinit includes a first initialization signal line Vinit1 and a second initialization signal line Vinit 2.
Wherein the first initialization signal line Vinit1 is configured to transmit a first initialization signal, and the second initialization signal line Vinit2 is configured to transmit a second initialization signal. The voltage of the first initialization signal is greater than that of the second initialization signal, for example, the voltage of the first initialization signal is-1V, the voltage of the second initialization signal is-2V or-3V, etc.; for example, the voltage of the first initialization signal is-3V, the voltage of the second initialization signal is-4V or-5.5V, etc.
In some embodiments, the first power line VSS is provided on the source drain conductive layer 21. For example, the first power line VSS is disposed on the second source/drain conductive layer 210.
In some embodiments, the initialization signal line Vinit is provided to the gate conductive layer. For example, the first initialization signal line Vinit1 is provided in the second gate conductive layer 205.
In some embodiments, the initialization signal line Vinit is provided to the source-drain conductive layer 21. For example, the second initialization signal line Vinit2 is provided in the first source-drain conductive layer 207.
In some embodiments, the conductive pattern R is electrically connected to the first power line VSS. That is, the first power line VSS provides blocking voltage for the conductive pattern R, and the working voltage of the sub-pixel P is greater than the low level voltage transmitted by the first power line VSS, that is, greater than the blocking voltage transmitted by the conductive pattern R, so that charges in the light emitting functional layer 303 of the sub-pixel P adjacent to the conductive pattern R can be transferred to the conductive pattern R, thereby preventing crosstalk current from being formed between adjacent sub-pixels P, improving accuracy of light emitting luminance of the sub-pixel P, and enhancing display effect of the display panel 200.
In some embodiments, the conductive pattern R is electrically connected to the first initialization signal line Vinit 1. That is, the first initialization signal line Vinit1 provides blocking voltage for the conductive pattern R, and the operating voltage of the sub-pixel P is greater than the voltage of the first initialization signal transmitted by the first initialization signal line Vinit1, that is, greater than the blocking voltage transmitted by the conductive pattern R, so that charges in the light-emitting functional layer 303 of the sub-pixel P adjacent to the conductive pattern R can be transferred to the conductive pattern R, and crosstalk current is prevented from being formed between adjacent sub-pixels P, thereby improving the accuracy of the light-emitting luminance of the sub-pixel P and enhancing the display effect of the display panel 200.
In some embodiments, the conductive pattern R is electrically connected to the second initialization signal line Vinit 2. That is, the second initialization signal line Vinit2 provides blocking voltage for the conductive pattern R, and the operating voltage of the sub-pixel P is greater than the voltage of the second initialization signal transmitted by the second initialization signal line Vinit2, that is, greater than the blocking voltage transmitted by the conductive pattern R, so that charges in the light-emitting functional layer 303 of the sub-pixel P adjacent to the conductive pattern R can be transferred to the conductive pattern R, and crosstalk current is prevented from being formed between adjacent sub-pixels P, thereby improving the accuracy of the light-emitting luminance of the sub-pixel P and enhancing the display effect of the display panel 200.
In some embodiments, the conductive pattern R is electrically connected to the first power line VSS and the initialization signal line Vinit.
Illustratively, the first conductive pattern R1 is electrically connected to the first power line VSS, and the second conductive pattern R2 is electrically connected to the initialization signal line Vinit.
Alternatively, the second conductive pattern R2 is electrically connected to the first initialization signal line Vinit1, or the second conductive pattern R2 is electrically connected to the second initialization signal line Vinit 2.
For example, as shown in fig. 11, the first conductive pattern R1 is electrically connected to the first power line VSS, and the second conductive pattern R2 is electrically connected to the second initialization signal line Vinit 2. That is, the first power line VSS supplies the first blocking voltage to the first conductive pattern R1, and the second initialization signal line Vinit2 supplies the second blocking voltage to the second conductive pattern R2.
The operating voltages of the two sub-pixels P adjacent to the first and second conductive patterns R1 and R2, respectively, are both greater than the low level voltage transmitted by the first power line VSS and also greater than the voltage of the second initialization signal transmitted by the second initialization signal line Vinit2, i.e., both greater than the first blocking voltage and the second blocking voltage. The low-level voltage transmitted by the first power line VSS is greater than the voltage of the second initialization signal transmitted by the second initialization signal line Vinit2, that is, the first blocking voltage is greater than the second blocking voltage, so that the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2 form an inverter, that is, a blocking current directed from the first conductive pattern R1 to the second conductive pattern R2 is formed between the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2, and the transmission direction of the blocking current is opposite to the transmission direction of the crosstalk current between two adjacent sub-pixels P, thereby further preventing the charge transfer tendency between the two adjacent sub-pixels P and enhancing the blocking effect of the conductive pattern R.
As shown in fig. 12, the first conductive pattern R1 is electrically connected to the first initialization signal line Vinit1, and the second conductive pattern R2 is electrically connected to the second initialization signal line Vinit2, for example. That is, the first initialization signal line Vinit1 supplies the first blocking voltage to the first conductive pattern R1, and the second initialization signal line Vinit2 supplies the second blocking voltage to the second conductive pattern R2.
The operating voltages of the two sub-pixels P adjacent to the first and second conductive patterns R1 and R2, respectively, are both greater than the voltage of the first initialization signal transmitted by the first initialization signal line Vinit1 and also greater than the voltage of the second initialization signal transmitted by the second initialization signal line Vinit2, that is, both greater than the first blocking voltage and the second blocking voltage. And the voltage of the first initialization signal transmitted by the first initialization signal line Vinit1 is greater than the voltage of the second initialization signal transmitted by the second initialization signal line Vinit2, that is, the first blocking voltage is greater than the second blocking voltage, so that the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2 form an inverter, that is, a blocking current directed from the first conductive pattern R1 to the second conductive pattern R2 is formed between the first conductive pattern R1 and the second conductive pattern R2, and the transmission direction of the blocking current is opposite to the transmission direction of the crosstalk current between two adjacent sub-pixels P, thereby further preventing the charge transfer tendency between the two adjacent sub-pixels P and enhancing the blocking effect of the conductive pattern R.
In some embodiments, of the two sub-pixels P adjacent to the conductive pattern R (i.e., the two sub-pixels to which the two anodes L1 adjacent to the conductive pattern R belong), the light that one of them can emit is different color light from the light that the other can emit, that is, the light emitting patterns L3 of the two sub-pixels P adjacent to the conductive pattern R are respectively used to emit different color light. For example, one of the two sub-pixels P emits red light and the other emits green or blue light.
It can be understood that, the light emitting threshold voltages of the light emitting patterns L3 of the two sub-pixels P emitting light of different colors are different, that is, the lowest operating voltage provided by the anode L3 and capable of lighting the light emitting pattern L3 is different, and when two adjacent sub-pixels P need to be lighted, the magnitudes of the operating voltages of the two sub-pixels P during the lighting process (for example, at the display luminance of 0 to 3 gray levels) are different, which easily forms an electric field, and causes a crosstalk current to be generated between the two sub-pixels P, thereby affecting the light emitting accuracy of the sub-pixels P. The above embodiments of the present disclosure may effectively block crosstalk current formed between the sub-pixels P by disposing the conductive patterns R between the sub-pixels P for emitting light of different colors, and improve the light emitting accuracy of the sub-pixels P, especially improve the light emitting accuracy of the sub-pixels P in a low gray level light emitting state.
In some embodiments, in the two sub-pixels P adjacent to the conductive pattern R, light that one of them can emit is the same color as light that the other can emit, that is, the light emitting patterns L3 of the two sub-pixels P adjacent to the conductive pattern R are used to emit the same color of light. For example, both the sub-pixels P emit green light.
In some arrangements of the sub-pixels, there are two sub-pixels P emitting light of the same color and disposed adjacent to each other, in this case, when one of the sub-pixels emits no light and the other emits light, or when the luminance of the light emitted by one of the sub-pixels P is lower than the luminance of the light emitted by the other sub-pixel P, that is, the two sub-pixels P have different operating voltages, an electric field is formed between the two sub-pixels P, so that a crosstalk current is formed between the two sub-pixels P, which affects the accuracy of light emission of the sub-pixels P. Through the conductive pattern R arranged between the two adjacent sub-pixels P emitting light with the same color, crosstalk current formed between the sub-pixels P can be effectively prevented, and the light emitting accuracy of the sub-pixels P is improved.
In some embodiments, the conductive pattern R is disposed between the sub-pixel P emitting green light and the sub-pixel P emitting red light.
Exemplarily, in a case where the conductive pattern R includes the first and second conductive patterns R1 and R2, the light emitting pattern L3 of the sub-pixel P adjacent to the first conductive pattern R1 can emit green light, and the light emitting pattern L3 of the sub-pixel P adjacent to the second conductive pattern R2 can emit red light.
In some arrangement of the sub-pixels, the sub-pixel P emitting green light and the sub-pixel P emitting red light are disposed adjacent to each other, and the material of the light emitting functional layer 303 capable of emitting green light and the material of the light emitting functional layer 303 capable of emitting red light have high conductivity, and particularly in a low gray level light emission state, the influence of crosstalk current is significant. By providing the conductive pattern R between the sub-pixel P emitting green light and the sub-pixel P emitting red light, crosstalk current can be effectively blocked, and the light emitting accuracy of the sub-pixel P can be improved.
As shown in fig. 13 and 14, in some embodiments, the planar shapes of the openings K of the pixel defining layers 302 of different sub-pixels P may be different or the same. For example, the arrangement of the plurality of sub-pixels P may be various, for example, the arrangement of the plurality of sub-pixels P may be a conventional RGB arrangement (as shown in fig. 13), and for example, the arrangement of the plurality of sub-pixels P may be an RGBG arrangement.
As shown in fig. 13 and 14, in some embodiments, the conductive pattern R is disposed on at least one side (the side having a positive area with other sub-pixels P) of the sub-pixel P, so that crosstalk current formed between any two sub-pixels P can be effectively blocked, light emitting accuracy of all sub-pixels P is improved, and the whole-screen display effect of the display panel 200 is enhanced.
As shown in fig. 13 and 14, in some embodiments, the shape of the conductive pattern R is a stripe shape, and the length extending direction Y of the conductive pattern R coincides with the extending direction of the side KL of the opening K adjacent to the conductive pattern R.
Illustratively, the length of the conductive pattern R, and the length of the side KL of the opening K adjacent to the conductive pattern R are approximately equal.
In some embodiments, the plurality of conductive patterns P are integrally formed, for example, the film layer on which the conductive pattern R is located is a mesh structure, the sub-pixels P are disposed in a mesh of the mesh structure, a mesh line of the mesh structure passes through between two adjacent sub-pixels P, and the mesh line serves as the conductive pattern R to block a crosstalk current between two adjacent sub-pixels P.
Illustratively, the conductive pattern R is integrally formed on the film layer at only one position to be electrically connected to a signal line (e.g., the first power line VSS or the initialization signal line Vinit) transmitting a low-level voltage. And each conductive pattern R is not required to be connected with a signal wire for transmitting low-level voltage, so that the number of punched holes is reduced, and the process difficulty is reduced.
As shown in fig. 15, in some embodiments, the aforementioned light emission function layer 303 includes: a first sub light emission function layer 303a, a heterojunction structure layer 303b, and a second sub light emission function layer 303c stacked in a thickness direction of the substrate 10 (i.e., a direction perpendicular to the light emission surface of the display panel 200), the heterojunction structure layer 303b being located between the first sub light emission function layer 303a and the second sub light emission function layer 303 c. That is, the light-emitting functional layer 303 corresponding to each sub-pixel P includes two light-emitting devices connected in series, so that the light-emitting current of the sub-pixel P can be greatly reduced under the same light-emitting intensity, the service life of the sub-pixel P is prolonged, and the development, mass production and introduction of high-life new technologies such as vehicle-mounted equipment are facilitated.
As shown in fig. 15, each sub-pixel P illustratively includes a first light-emitting pattern L3a and a second light-emitting pattern L3c, the first light-emitting pattern L3a is provided on the first sub-light-emitting function layer 303a, the second light-emitting pattern L3c is provided on the second sub-light-emitting function layer 303c, and the first light-emitting pattern L3a and the second light-emitting pattern L3c are provided corresponding to the same opening K of the pixel defining layer 302. That is, the light-emitting function layer 303 corresponding to each sub-pixel P includes two layers of light-emitting patterns L3 connected in series.
As shown in fig. 15, for example, in the two-layered light emitting patterns L3 connected in series, each of the light emitting patterns L3 is provided with the common layer 305, for example, the first light emitting pattern L3a is provided with at least one of the common layers 305 on both the side close to the substrate 10 and the side far from the substrate 10, and the second light emitting pattern L3c is provided with at least one of the common layers 305 on both the side close to the substrate 10 and the side far from the substrate 10.
In some embodiments, the heterojunction structure layer 303b includes at least two semiconductor thin films. For example, as shown in fig. 15, the heterojunction structure layer 303b includes a first semiconductor thin film P-CGL and a second semiconductor thin film N-CGL.
Illustratively, the materials of the semiconductor films of different ones of the at least two semiconductor films are different.
The material of the semiconductor thin film is, for example, a compound such as gallium arsenide, and may be a semiconductor alloy such as silicon-germanium.
