For example, the thickness of the common organic film layer to be broken is thicker, the corresponding insulation layer containing the shrinking portion can be arranged thicker, and if the thickness of the common organic film layer to be broken is thinner, the corresponding insulation layer containing the shrinking portion can be arranged smaller; the distance from the common organic film layer to the first electrode is larger, namely the thickness of the common organic film layer to be disconnected and the thickness of all the organic film layers below the common organic film layer are larger, the corresponding insulating layer can be arranged to be thicker, and the thickness of the common organic film layer to be disconnected and the thickness of all the organic film layers below the common organic film layer to be disconnected are smaller, and the corresponding insulating layer can be arranged to be thinner. In addition, the insulating layer is not too thick while guaranteeing the disconnection of the common organic film layer, and the phenomenon that the disconnection or the connection part is too thin is avoided when the second electrode is formed. By reasonably setting the thicknesses of the first insulating layer 411, the second insulating layer 412, the third insulating layer 413 and the fourth insulating layer 414, on the one hand, disconnection of the organic film layer at the retracted portion is ensured, and on the other hand, continuous and uniform film formation of the second electrode is ensured.

As shown in fig. 8, any of the separation structures 400 includes a second overlap area S2 covering the edge of the top surface of the transparent electrode, and includes a first overlap area S1 covering the side surface of the transparent electrode. Specifically, the second overlapping areas S2 of the plurality of separation structures 400 are the same, so that the effect of the separation structures 400 on the openings of the sub-pixels 200 is consistent, in other words, the coverage conditions of the two ends of the separation structures 400 on the transparent electrodes 212 on the two sides are the same, the light emitting effect of different colors is ensured, and the light emitting display effect of the display panel 10 is further ensured. Meanwhile, the thicknesses of the transparent electrodes 212 of the sub-pixels 200 based on different colors are different, that is, when the separation structure 400 contacts the sides of the transparent electrodes, if the transparent electrodes 212 are thicker, the first overlapping area S1 is larger, and thus the first overlapping area S1 may be different according to the pixels 200.

Further, to ensure that the openings of the sub-pixels 200 are consistent, the areas of the top edges of the transparent electrodes 212 covered by the separation structure 400 are the same, and in combination with the case that the separation structure 400 covers the sides of the transparent electrodes, the second center P2 of the separation structure 400 is different from the first center P1 between the adjacent bottom electrodes 211, and it should be noted that, in fig. 8, the first center P1 and the second center P2 are shown as straight lines where the centers are located.

Step S110, providing a substrate and preparing a plurality of bottom electrodes on one side of the substrate, wherein a first center is arranged between adjacent bottom electrodes.
The display panel comprises a substrate and a plurality of sub-pixels positioned on one side of the substrate, wherein the sub-pixels are electrically connected with a pixel driving circuit positioned on the substrate, and the pixel driving circuit is used for providing display signals for the sub-pixels so as to realize the luminous and display effects of the sub-pixels. Specifically, the substrate is first prepared, and a plurality of film insulating layers are disposed on the substrate, and further, the pixel driving circuit is disposed on the film insulating layers, where the film insulating layers may include a gate insulating layer, an interlayer insulating layer, and the like, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present utility model. Further, the pixel driving circuit may include at least one transistor, and a specific embodiment of the pixel driving circuit may be set by those skilled in the art according to practical situations, and is not limited herein, and exemplary pixel driving circuits may include "4T1C", "5T2C", and so on, where "4T1C" refers to a pixel driving circuit including 4 thin film transistors (T) and 1 capacitor (C), and other "5T2C", and so on.
Further, the sub-pixel fabricated on the substrate includes a first electrode, where the first electrode includes a bottom electrode, that is, the bottom electrode is fabricated on the substrate continuously, and the bottom electrode can reflect light, so as to reflect light emitted from the organic film layer into the organic film layer and the common electrode again, so that light is prevented from passing through the bottom electrode and exiting from the back surface of the display panel, and two adjacent bottom electrodes have a first center, and referring to fig. 8, two adjacent bottom electrodes have a first center P1.
In step S120, in different sub-pixel regions, a first transparent electrode, a second transparent electrode and a third transparent electrode are respectively prepared on the bottom electrode.
The transparent electrode may be made of indium tin oxide, and the embodiment of the present utility model is not limited thereto.
Further, in the sub-pixel, light may be reflected at the first electrode and the subsequently prepared second electrode a plurality of times, and the transparent electrode is a resonance portion for resonating the target wavelength. Meanwhile, the plurality of sub-pixels may include first, second, and third sub-pixels displaying different colors, such as red, green, and blue sub-pixels, in which the different colors of light have different wavelengths. Further, the phase shift generated by the reflection of the light emitted from the organic film layer between the transparent electrode and the second electrode is phi radian, the optical path of the resonance portion is L, that is, the transmission distance of the light between the transparent electrode and the second electrode is L along the thickness direction of the display panel, if the wavelength of the target light is λ, the optical path of the resonance portion should satisfy the following formula: 2L/λ+Φ/2pi=m (m is an integer). Further, the larger the m value is, the color purity of the light outputted from the resonance portion can be improved, but a decrease in display luminance and an increase in dependence of viewing angle are caused. In order to ensure that the display effect of a plurality of sub-pixels in the display panel is balanced, the m values of different sub-pixels can be adjusted to be similar or identical, and then the distances between the sub-pixel transparent electrodes and the second electrodes of different colors can be adjusted based on different wavelengths lambda, namely, the optical path L in the formula is adjusted, and further, the effect of outputting light rays of different wavelengths lambda is ensured to be similar, namely, the luminous brightness and the color purity of the sub-pixels of different colors are similar.
Specifically, to adjust the distance between the bottom electrode and the second electrode, this can be achieved by adjusting the thickness of the transparent electrode in the sub-pixels of different colors. For example, the first transparent electrode, the second transparent electrode, and the third transparent electrode represent transparent electrodes in sub-pixels of different colors, and there is a difference in thickness of the transparent electrodes. The stable and balanced display effect of the display panel is realized by adjusting the thickness of the transparent electrode, and the process is also realized better.

Further, a photoresist layer is formed on the multi-layer insulating layer, and the photoresist layer is exposed and developed by using a first mask, that is, the multi-layer insulating layer is exposed and developed simultaneously by using the first mask.
Specifically, there is a difference in thickness of the transparent electrodes based on the sub-pixels of different colors, and there is a difference in the separation structure covering the pixel defining structure and the different sub-pixels. The thickness of the first transparent electrode corresponding to the first sub-pixel is smaller than that of the second transparent electrode corresponding to the second sub-pixel, and the thickness of the second transparent electrode corresponding to the second sub-pixel is smaller than that of the third transparent electrode corresponding to the third sub-pixel. Further, the separation structure between the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel is a first separation structure, the separation structure between the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel is a second separation structure, and the separation structure between the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel is a third separation structure.
In order to ensure more accurate adjustment of the separation structure, different separation structures are exposed and developed through separation structure patterns with different shapes. The first separation structure is exposed and developed through the first pattern, the second separation structure is exposed and developed through the second pattern, the third separation structure is exposed and developed through the third pattern, and the first pattern, the second pattern and the third pattern are respectively specific to the second center.

Specifically, two ends of the separation structure cover the top surface partial areas of the transparent electrodes of the adjacent two first electrodes respectively, and the separation structure has a climbing condition due to different thicknesses of the transparent electrodes of the sub-pixels with different colors. Further, in order to ensure that the openings of the sub-pixels are consistent, the areas of the transparent electrodes covered by the separation structures are the same, and in combination with the 'climbing' condition of the separation structures, the second center of the mask plate for etching the separation structures is different from the first center between the original adjacent bottom electrodes. For example, the second center may be closer to the transparent electrode having a larger thickness, i.e., to the side of the first electrode having a larger overall thickness.
Illustratively, the first center between adjacent bottom electrodes is located within the pixel defining structure, i.e. the center of the pixel defining structure does not overlap with the center of the separating structure. Specifically, in the preparation process of the pixel limiting structure and the separation structure, different masks are used for etching, and the centers of the patterns of the separation structure on the masks of the separation structure are not overlapped with the first center positions of the first patterns, the second patterns and the third patterns on the first masks of the pixel limiting structure.
