That is, the shape of the first electrode 310 is a mesh structure, the shape of the second electrode layer 500 is also a mesh structure, and the first hollowed-out portion 710 and the second hollowed-out portion 720 are arranged in a staggered manner.
The arrangement of the plurality of uniformly distributed first hollowed-out portions 710 on the first electrode 310 and the plurality of uniformly distributed second hollowed-out portions 720 on the second electrode layer 500 can ensure that the overlapping area between the first electrode 310 and the second electrode layer 500 is reduced as much as possible, and simultaneously avoid the occurrence of the situation that the first hollowed-out portions 710 and the second hollowed-out portions 720 overlap, which results in the existence of the corresponding electrophoretic particles 420 in the electrophoretic layer 400 that cannot be driven.
The shapes of the first hollow portion 710 and the second hollow portion 720 are rectangular, the lengths of the first hollow portion 710 and the second hollow portion 720 are 8 μm-12 μm, and the widths of the first hollow portion 710 and the second hollow portion 720 are 8 μm-12 μm. Preferably, the shapes of the first hollowed-out portion 710 and the second hollowed-out portion 720 are square, and when the lengths and widths of the first hollowed-out portion 710 and the second hollowed-out portion 720 are 8 μm-12 μm, the parasitic capacitance between the first electrode 310 and the second electrode layer 500 can be greatly reduced, the driving of the electrophoretic particles 420 in the electrophoretic layer 400 is not affected, and the power consumption of the electronic paper display panel 30 is reduced while the picture display of the electronic paper display panel 30 is not affected.
Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a first electrode according to a first embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 6, since the shapes of the first electrode 310 and the second electrode layer 500 are both in a mesh structure, the first hollowed-out portion 710 on the first electrode 310 and the second hollowed-out portion 720 on the second electrode layer 500 are arranged in a staggered manner, so that there is a portion of orthographic projection overlap of the first electrode 310 and the orthographic projection overlap of the second electrode layer 500, which is a dual electrode region 930, and a portion of orthographic projection overlap of the first electrode 310 and the orthographic projection overlap of the second hollowed-out portion 720, which is a single electrode region 920, and therefore the electric field strength of the dual electrode region 930 is greater than that of the single electrode region 920, and a phenomenon of nonuniform electric field occurs, thereby affecting the display panel.
Thus, the present application increases the spacer 810 to raise the first electrode 310 of the single electrode area 920, and decreases the distance between the first electrode 310 and the second electrode layer 500 of the single electrode area 920, specifically: the electronic paper display panel 30 further includes a spacer layer 800, and the spacer layer 800 is disposed on the first substrate 100 at a side close to the first electrode layer 300; the spacer layer 800 includes a plurality of spacer blocks 810 disposed at intervals, where the front projection of the spacer blocks 810 on the first substrate 100 overlaps with the front projection of the second hollowed-out portion 720 on the first substrate 100, and the front projection of the spacer blocks 810 on the first substrate 100 overlaps with the front projection of the first electrode 310 on the first substrate 100, that is, the front projection of the spacer blocks 810 overlaps with the front projection of the single electrode area 920.
The electric field strength of the single electrode region 920 and the double electrode region 930 is balanced by adding the spacer layer 800 under the first electrode 310 of the single electrode region 920, reducing the distance between the first electrode 310 and the second electrode layer 500 at this position. Further, the spacer layer 800 may be made of a metal material, so that the electric field intensity at the position can be further increased, so that the electric field intensity at each position in a single pixel area is equivalent, and the movement of the electrophoretic particles 420 in the electrophoretic layer 400 is more consistent.
Spacer particles 810 may be added only under the first electrode 310 of the single electrode region 920. In addition, since there is a positive projection overlap between the partial second electrode and the positive projection of the first hollowed-out portion 710, and this region is also the single electrode region 920, a spacer 810 may be provided between the second electrode layer 500 and the second substrate 600 in the single electrode region 920 at the same time, so as to further reduce the difference between the electric field intensities. It is of course also possible to provide spacer 810 only between second electrode layer 500 and second substrate 600 in single electrode region 920, which is not limited herein.

Compared with the solution of the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the first hollow portion 710 and the second hollow portion 720 are set to be long, and the first hollow portion 710 and the second hollow portion 720 are set in a staggered manner, so that electric field balance in a single pixel area is ensured, and the first electrode 310 and the second electrode layer 500 only have oblique overlapping, thereby greatly reducing parasitic capacitance and reducing energy consumption of the electronic paper display panel 30.

Compared with the previous detection mode, if a display abnormality occurs in a certain pixel area of the electronic paper display panel 30, the detection equipment can only determine the coordinate information of the pixel along the scanning line 230 and the data line 220 of the pixel by continuous scanning, and can be quickly found in the subsequent repair; in this embodiment, the identification pattern 730 is directly disposed on the first electrode 310 corresponding to the pixel area, so that the detection device can directly determine the coordinate information of the pixel area with a problem, thereby improving the detection efficiency, reducing the repair difficulty, and improving the repair speed.
Further, the hollowed-out portion 700 may be disposed above the active switch 210, that is, the identification pattern 730 is disposed above the active switch 210, specifically: the driving layer 200 further includes a plurality of active switches 210, wherein the drains of the active switches 210 are connected to the first electrode 310, the gates of the active switches 210 are connected to the scan lines 230, and the sources of the active switches 210 are connected to the data lines 220. The front projection of the identification pattern 730 on the first substrate 100 overlaps with the front projection of the active switch 210 on the first substrate 100.
Thus, the overlapping area between the active switch 210 and the first electrode 310 can be reduced, the parasitic capacitance between the active switch 210 and the first electrode 310 can be reduced, and the energy consumption of the electronic paper display panel 30 can be reduced.
In addition, since the different areas of the hollowed-out portions 700 on the different first electrodes 310 are caused by the different identification patterns 730 on the first electrodes 310 at different positions, so that the electric field forces of the different pixel areas of the whole electronic paper display panel 30 are different, and the display effect is affected, the hollowed-out compensation portion 740 is further formed on the first electrodes 310, the largest hollowed-out portion 700 area of the identification pattern 730 is taken as the reference area, and the area of the hollowed-out portion 700 plus the hollowed-out compensation portion 740 of the identification pattern 730 is equal to the reference area. The areas of the hollowed-out portions 700 are equal although the identification patterns 730 are different in each pixel area, so that the electric field intensities of different pixel areas of the whole electronic paper display panel 30 are balanced, and the picture display effect is improved.
