Description

显示面板
本申请要求于2019年08月09日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910734220.X、发明名称为“显示面板”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种显示面板。
背景技术
相比于液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display, LCD),有机发光二极管显示器(Organic Light-Emitting Diode, OLED)的最大优势在于可以在柔性衬底上制作。由于OLED有机发光材料具有耐弯折性,使得OLED显示面板可以实现弯曲化和折叠化。如果将OLED显示面板的下边框(border)部分翻折到显示器背面,就可以将OLED显示面板的下边框尺寸进一步缩小,达到极窄边框或者无边框的效果。
在OLED显示面板的窄边框设计中,被翻折至背面的边框部分会通过其内部的金属走线使控制芯片与显示面板正面的元件连接。在边框部分翻折过程中,金属走线会绕着边框部分底层的弯折中心弯曲,而在现有技术中,由于金属走线与边框部分的底层之间具有较大的膜层厚度,使得金属走线绕弯折中心弯曲时会产生较大的变形量,从而增加了金属走线断裂的风险。

需要说明的是,为了清楚示意本申请实施例提供的显示面板的结构,图1中所示的显示面板10是将所述背面区10B弯折至所述正面区10A背侧之前的结构示意图。应当理解的是,本申请实施例提供的显示面板10,在其进行弯折制程之前的所有制程中,所述正面区10A、弯折区10C及背面区10B处于所述显示面板10的同一侧,即,此时的所述弯折区10C还不具有弯折结构,所述背面区10B还没有设置于所述正面区10A的背侧。下面结合弯折制程之前和弯折制程之后的显示面板结构示意图对本申请实施例提供的显示面板10进行说明。
如图2和图3所示,其中,图2是图1所示的显示面板在进行弯折制程之前沿A-A’方向的截面图,图3是图1所示的显示面板在进行弯折制程之后沿A-A’方向的截面图。
沿所述显示面板10的厚度方向Z,所述显示面板10包括基底层11、阻隔层12、第一电极层13、第一有机层14及第二电极层15。其中,所述厚度方向Z与所述宽度方向X(参考图1所示)垂直;所述阻隔层12设置于所述基底层11上;所述第一电极层13设置于所述阻隔层12上,且位于所述阻隔层12背离所述基底层11的一面;所述第一有机层14设置于所述第一电极层13上,且位于所述第一电极层13背离所述阻隔层12的一面;所述第二电极层15设置于所述第一有机层14上,且位于所述第一有机层14背离所述第一电极层13的一面。
在所述弯折区10C内,所述阻隔层12断开形成第一开口12a,所述第一电极层13断开形成第二开口13a。所述阻隔层12在所述第一开口12a处形成台阶结构。所述第二开口13a的宽度大于所述第一开口12a的宽度,以使所述第一电极层13不覆盖所述第一开口12a的端面,从而避免如下风险的发生:当所述第一电极层13覆盖所述第一开口12a的端面时,由于所述第一开口12a具有较陡的开口端面,导致位于所述第一开口12a处的所述第一电极层13产生应力集中,进而引发裂纹。
在所述弯折区10C内,所述第一有机层14断开形成第三开口14a,所述第三开口14a的端面具有斜面结构,即所述第一有机层14在所述第三开口14a的端面处形成斜坡面,并且所述第三开口14a两端的所述斜坡面相对延伸至所述基底层11上。所述第一有机层14覆盖所述第一开口12a的端面和所述第二开口13a的端面。
在所述弯折区10C内,所述第二电极层15沿所述第三开口14a的端面设置,从而避免所述第二电极层15在所述第三开口14a处因应力集中过大而断裂的风险。
可选地,在所述弯折区10C内,所述第三开口14a的端面与所述基底层11的夹角α的度数为低于40度。应当理解的是,所述第三开口14a的端面与所述基底层11之间的夹角越小,位于所述第三开口14a端面上的所述第二电极层15产生的应力集中越小,因应力集中而导致断裂的风险也越小。
可选地,在所述弯折区10C内,所述第三开口14a的两端相对延伸至所述基底层11上,且所述第三开口14a的两端在所述基底层11上不相互接触,从而使一部分所述第二电极层15直接设置于所述基底层11上。应当理解的是,在所述弯折区10C内,所述第二电极层15与所述基底层11之间的距离越小,将所述弯折区10C进行弯折时,所述第二电极层15产生的弯曲变形量越小,因弯曲变形而导致所述第二电极层15断裂的风险也越小。
可选地,所述基底层11为柔性基底,其材质可以是柔性透明材料,如聚酰亚胺等,以保证所述显示面板10具有可弯折性。
可选地,所述阻隔层12由无机层121和第三有机层122组成。所述无机层121用于防止外界的空气和水分进入所述显示面板10内部;所述有机层122一方面可以防止外界的空气和水分进入所述显示面板10内部,另一方面可以防止所述第一电极层13产生漏电风险。
需要说明的是,对所述显示面板10进行弯折制程后,所述弯折区10C弯曲,使所述背面区10B翻转至所述正面区10A的背侧。此时,在所述弯折区10C内,所述基底层11及所述第二电极层15绕弯折中心L弯曲,所述第二电极层11至少一部分因为弯曲形成弧形结构。由于所述阻隔层12、所述第一电极层13及所述第一有机层14在所述弯折区10C内分别设置开口,所以至少产生以下两点有益效果:一是避免了所述阻隔层12、所述第一电极层13及所述第一有机层14因弯曲发生断裂;二是缩小了所述第二电极层15至所述弯折中心L的距离,使所述第二电极层15产生较小的弯曲变形量,减小了所述第二电极层15因弯曲而断裂的风险。
根据本申请一实施例,所述显示面板10还包括第二有机层16和像素定义层17。所述第二有机层16设置于所述第二电极层15上,且位于所述第二电极层15背离所述第一有机层14的一面;所述像素定义层17设置于所述第二有机层16上,且位于所述第二有机层16背离所述第二电极层15的一面。所述第二有机层16起绝缘作用。所述像素定义层17至少包括红、绿、蓝三色子像素单元。
在所述弯折区10C内,对所述弯折区10C进行弯折制程之前,所述第二有机层16沿所述第二电极层15设置形成凹面,所述像素定义层17沿所述第二有机层16设置形成凹面;对所述弯折区10C进行弯曲制程之后,所述第二有机层16及所述像素定义层17至少一部分因为弯曲而形成弧形结构。应当理解的是,在所述弯折区10C内,所述阻隔层12、所述第一电极层13及所述第一有机层14分别设置开口,从而缩小所述第二有机层16及所述像素定义层17与所述弯折中心L之间的距离,进而减小所述第二有机层16及所述像素定义层17弯曲变形量,降低变形断裂风险。
根据本申请一实施例,所述第一有机层14上设置通孔141,所述通孔141内填充导电材料,所述第一电极层13与所述第二电极层15通过所述通孔141中的导电材料电性连接。需要说明的是,所述正面区10A和所述背面区10B内分别设置所述通孔141,从而使所述第二开口13a两端的所述第一电极层13分别与所述第二电极层15连接。所述正面区10A内和所述背面区10B内设置所述通孔141的数量可以是多个。所述第一电极层13及所述第二电极层15可以包括多条走线和多个电极,所述第一电极层13内的走线和/或电极至少部分与所述第二电极层15内的走线和/或电极通过所述通孔141连接。
可选地,所述背面区10B设置有柔性电路板,所述柔性电路板上设置有集成芯片,所述第一电极层13和所述第二电极层15分别连接至所述柔性电路板,所述集成芯片通过所述第一电极层13和所述第二电极层15控制所述显示面板10的显示功能。
可选地,至少所述正面区10A为显示区,具有显示画面功能;根据设计需求,所述弯折区10C和所述背面区10B也可以具有显示画面功能。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的显示面板10,包括正面区10A和背面区10B,所述背面区10B通过具有弯折结构的弯折区10C设置于所述正面区10A的背侧,在所述弯折区10C内,通过将阻隔层12、第一电极层13和第一有机层14分别设置开口,并将第二电极层15沿所述第一有机层14开口处的斜面延伸至基底层11上,使所述第二电极层15产生较小的弯曲变形,从而减小所述第二电极层15在所述弯折区内的弯曲应力,降低所述第二电极层15断裂的风险,提升所述显示面板10的质量和制程中的良率。
需要说明的是,虽然本申请以具体实施例揭露如上,但上述实施例并非用以限制本申请,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本申请的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本申请的保护范围以权利要求界定发范围为准。
