参见图10,在临近显示面板PNL的边缘处,各层无机材料可以组成显示面板PNL的无机材料层BIL。在一种示例中,在临近显示面板PNL的边缘处,显示面板PNL的无机材料层BIL可以包括依次层叠于有机衬底基板BP的无机阻挡层Barr、无机缓冲层Buff、栅极绝缘层GI、层间电介质层ILD等。在另外一些示例中,无机材料层BIL还可以包括钝化层PVX。可以理解的是,在图10所示的显示面板PNL中,栅极绝缘层GI包括第一栅极绝缘层GI1和第二栅极绝缘层GI2等两层。在本公开的其他实施方式中,栅极绝缘层GI可以为一层,也可以为三层或者更多层。

像素层F300可以设置有子像素。在一些实施方式中,例如在液晶显示面板中,像素电极、公共电极和液晶层可以形成控制光线偏振方向的光开关,该光开关可以作为本公开的子像素。在另外一些实施方式中,像素层可以设置有与像素驱动电路对应电连接的发光元件,发光元件可以作为显示面板的子像素。
示例性地,像素层设置有阵列分布的发光元件,且各个发光元件在像素驱动电路的控制下发光。在本公开中,发光元件可以为有机电致发光二极管(OLED)、微发光二极管(Micro LED)、量子点-有机电致发光二极管(QD-OLED)、量子点发光二极管(QLED)或者其他类型的发光元件。示例性地,在本公开的一种实施方式中,发光元件为有机电致发光二极管(OLED),则该显示面板为OLED显示面板。如下,以发光元件为有机电致发光二极管为例,对像素层的一种可行结构进行示例性的介绍。
可选地,像素层F300可以设置于驱动电路层F200远离有机衬底基板BP的一侧,其可以包括依次层叠设置的像素电极层F301、像素定义层F302、支撑柱层F303、有机发光功能层F304和公共电极层F305。其中,像素电极层F301在显示面板的显示区具有多个像素电极;像素定义层F302在显示区具有与多个像素电极一一对应设置的多个贯通的像素开口,任意一个像素开口暴露对应的像素电极的至少部分区域。支撑柱层F303在显示区包括多个支撑柱,且支撑柱位于像素定义层F302远离有机衬底基板BP的表面,以便在蒸镀制程中支撑精细金属掩模版(Fine Metal MAsk,FMM)。有机发光功能层F304至少覆盖被像素定义层F302所暴露的像素电极。其中,有机发光功能层F304可以包括有机电致发光材料层,以及可以包括有空穴注入层、空穴传输层、电子阻挡层、空穴阻挡层、电子传输层和电子注入层中的一种或者多种。可以通过蒸镀工艺制备有机发光功能层F304的各个膜层,且在蒸镀时可以采用精细金属掩模版或者开放式掩膜板(Open MAsk)定义各个膜层的图案。公共电极层F305在显示区可以覆盖有机发光功能层F304。如此,像素电极、公共电极层F305和位于像素 电极和公共电极层F305之间的有机发光功能层F304形成有机发电致光二极管F300D,任意一个有机电致发光二极管可以作为显示面板的一个子像素。
在一些实施方式中,像素层F300还可以包括位于公共电极层F305远离有机衬底基板BP一侧的光取出层,以增强有机发光二极管的出光效率。
在一种示例中,有机材料层BOL可以包括平坦化层、像素定义层等膜层。可以理解的是,在本公开的母板结构和显示面板PNL中,根据显示面板PNL的类型和工艺的不同,无机材料层BIL可以为其他不同无机层的组合,有机材料层BOL可以为其他有机层或者其他有机层的组合。
可选地,显示面板还可以包括薄膜封装层F400。薄膜封装层F400设于像素层F300远离有机衬底基板BP的表面,可以包括交替层叠设置的无机封装层和有机封装层。其中,无机封装层可以有效的阻隔外界的水分和氧气,避免水氧入侵有机发光功能层F304而导致材料降解。可选地,无机封装层的边缘可以位于外围区。有机封装层位于相邻的两层无机封装层之间,以便实现平坦化和减弱无机封装层之间的应力。其中,有机封装层的边缘,可以位于显示区的边缘和无机封装层的边缘之间。示例性地,薄膜封装层F400包括依次层叠于像素层F300远离有机衬底基板BP一侧的第一无机封装层F401、有机封装层F402和第二无机封装层F403。
可选地,显示面板还可以包括触控功能层F500,触控功能层F500设于薄膜封装层F400远离有机衬底基板BP的一侧,用于实现显示面板的触控操作。
可选地,显示面板还可以包括降反层F600,降反层F600可以设置于薄膜封装层F400远离像素层F300的一侧,用于降低显示面板对环境光线的反射,进而降低环境光线对显示效果的影响。在本公开的一种实施方式中,降反层F600可以包括层叠设置的彩膜层和黑矩阵层,如此可以在实现降低环境光线干扰的同时,可以避免降低显示面板的透光率。在本公开的另一种实施方式中,降反层F600可以为偏光片,例如可以为图案化的涂布型圆偏光片。进一步地,降反层F600可以设置于触控功能层F500远离有机衬底基板BP的一侧。
图1示出了母板结构的平面示意图。参见图1,母板结构具有多个显 示面板PNL,例如具有阵列分布的显示面板PNL。在显示面板PNL之间,母板结构上设置有主切割道MCUT。在通过切割制备显示面板PNL时,可以先沿主切割道MCUT切割,将母板结构切割成多个子板结构MM,每个子板结构MM均包括一个显示面板PNL。这样,主切割道MCUT定义出了子板结构MM的边缘。然后,再对子板结构MM做进一步的切割,以获得所需的显示面板PNL。
图3示出了显示面板PNL的一种平面结构示意图;图4示出了显示面板PNL在内切割道ICUT以内的平面结构示意图;图5示出了子板结构MM的平面结构示意图;图6~图8示出了基于图5的子板结构MM而能够获得的显示面板PNL的结构示意图。参见图3,显示面板PNL包括显示区AA和围绕显示区AA的外围区BB。参见图4~图8,在显示面板PNL的边缘EE或者临近边缘EE的区域,显示面板PNL具有环绕显示区AA的内切割道ICUT。参见图5,子板结构MM中,在内切割道ICUT至主切割道MCUT之间的区域(包括内切割道ICUT)至少部分为兼容切割区MA,兼容切割区MA内设置有外切割道OCUT。换言之,内切割道ICUT至主切割道MCUT之间的至少部分区域设置有外切割道OCUT,这些设置有外切割道OCUT的区域为兼容切割区MA。其中,在无特别指出的情况下,内切割道ICUT和外切割道OCUT中的无机材料被去除或者被减薄,以降低在切割时产生裂纹的风险并降低裂纹的大小,提供显示面板的良率和信赖性。
参见图5(仅仅示意了一个兼容切割区MA),在任意一个兼容切割区MA内,外切割道OCUT一端与内切割道ICUT交汇,另一端与内切割道ICUT交汇或者与主切割道MCUT交汇。这样,在切割子板结构MM以获得显示面板PNL时,在兼容切割区MA以外可以沿着内切割道ICUT切割;即,在兼容切割区MA以外,切割轨迹在内切割道ICUT内。在兼容切割区MA,可以沿着内切割道ICUT或者外切割道OCUT切割;即,在兼容切割区MA,切割轨迹可以在内切割道ICUT内或者外切割道OCUT内。在切割子板结构MM时所选择的切割道,最终定义了显示面板PNL的边缘EE;显示面板PNL的边缘EE与主切割道MCUT之间为待切除区域。在本公开中,由于母板结构在兼容切割区MA设置有外切割道OCUT, 这使得可以通过选择不同的切割道组合出不同的切割轨迹以获得不同的显示面板PNL,进而达到了通过同一母板结构制备不同的显示面板PNL的目的,提高了母板结构的通用性,降低了显示面板PNL的成本并能够满足不同显示产品对显示面板PNL的个性化需求。在本公开的一种实施方式中,可以根据外切割道OCUT与内切割道ICUT交汇节点来定义兼容切割区MA的起始节点和终止节点。
在图5中示出了子板结构MM具有一个兼容切割区MA,且该兼容切割区MA内具有第一外切割道OCUT1、第二外切割道OCUT2和第三外切割道OCUT3等三种外切割道OCUT的例子。可以理解的是,在本公开的其他实施方式中,子板结构MM可以具有多个兼容切割区MA,兼容切割区MA内可以具有更多或者更少的外切割道OCUT。以图5所示的子板结构MM为例,第一外切割道OCUT1的数量为两条,第一外切割道OCUT1靠近内切割道ICUT的一端与内切割道ICUT交汇;第二外切割道OCUT2位于两个第一外切割道OCUT1之间,且两端分别与两个第一外切割道OCUT1远离内切割道ICUT的端部交汇;第三外切割道OCUT3的数量为两个且与两条第一外切割道OCUT1一一对应,第三外切割道OCUT3的一端与主切割道MCUT交汇,另一端与对应的第一外切割道OCUT1远离显示区AA的端部交汇。在切割子板结构MM时,在兼容切割区MA以外的切割轨迹可以沿内切割道ICUT设置。在上述示例的兼容切割区MA中,可以有如下三种可选择的不同的切割轨迹,即选择内切割道ICUT作为切割轨迹、选择第一外切割道OCUT1-第二外切割道OCUT2-第一外切割道OCUT1作为切割轨迹、选择第一外切割道OCUT1-第三外切割道OCUT3-第三外切割道OCUT3-第一外切割道OCUT1作为切割轨迹。参见图6,在一种示例中,在兼容切割区MA选择内切割道ICUT作为切割轨迹;图6中用粗线EE表示出了切割轨迹,该粗线EE还表示所切割出的显示面板PNL的边缘;显示面板PNL的整体形状和范围通过点阵填充进行示意。参见图7,在另一种示例中,在兼容切割区MA选择第一外切割道OCUT1-第二外切割道OCUT2-第一外切割道OCUT1作为切割轨迹;图7中用粗线EE表示出了切割轨迹,该粗线EE还表示所切割出的显示面板PNL的边缘;显示面板PNL的整体形状和范围通过点阵填充进行示 意。参见图8,在另一种示例中,在兼容切割区MA选择第一外切割道OCUT1-第三外切割道OCUT3-第三外切割道OCUT3-第一外切割道OCUT1作为切割轨迹;图8中用粗线EE表示出了切割轨迹,该粗线EE还表示所切割出的显示面板PNL的至少部分边缘;显示面板PNL的整体形状和范围通过点阵填充进行示意。由此可知,在兼容切割区MA通过选择不同的切割道组成不同的切割轨迹,进而可以切割出不同的显示面板PNL;实际切割的轨迹定义了显示面板PNL的边缘。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,在全部选择内切割道ICUT作为切割轨迹时,所获得的显示面板PNL可以不具有兼容切割区MA,即各个内切割道ICUT以外的部分(包括各个外切割道OCUT)可以被切割出去。这样,本公开的母板结构可以具有阵列分布的显示面板PNL,显示面板PNL的边缘由内切割道ICUT定义;显示面板PNL以外可以设置有外切割道OCUT以提高母板结构的通用性,但是这些外切割道OCUT等均在切割以形成显示面板PNL时被切除。
在本公开的另一种实施方式中,在某一个兼容切割区MA内选择外切割道OCUT作为切割轨迹时,则该显示面板PNL保留该兼容切割区MA的至少部分。
图10示出了显示面板PNL在临近边缘的区域的膜层结构示意图。参见图10,在靠近边缘的区域,显示面板PNL包括依次层叠设置的有机衬底基板BP、无机材料层BIL和有机材料层BOL。在内切割道ICUT,无机材料层BIL可以被减薄或者被去除以形成环形的切割槽,且切割槽内被有机材料层BOL填充。这样,内切割道ICUT具有较少或者不具有无机材料,这在切割时和在切割后,均可以减少裂纹的产生。在一种示例中,可以完全去除内切割道ICUT中的无机材料。
在本公开的一些实施方式中,参见图3和图4,在外围区BB,在内切割道ICUT的内侧(即内切割道ICUT靠近显示区AA的一侧)设置有第一裂纹挡墙DAM1。这样,当沿内切割道ICUT进行切割时,第一裂纹挡墙DAM1可以阻挡切割时的裂纹由显示面板PNL的边缘向显示区AA扩散,达成保护显示面板PNL的目的。
可选的,参见图9,第一裂纹挡墙DAM1包括多条且由无机材料层 BIL组成,相邻两条第一裂纹挡墙DAM1之间设置有沟槽,沟槽内填充有有机材料层BOL。换言之,在第一裂纹挡墙DAM1所在区域,可以通过对无机材料层BIL进行减薄或者去除以形成沟槽,无机材料层BIL剩余的部分可以作为第一裂纹挡墙DAM1。裂纹向显示区AA延伸的过程中,可以被第一裂纹挡墙DAM1所阻挡。当然的,依据制备工艺的不同,第一裂纹挡墙DAM1之间的沟槽内也可以再覆盖无机材料,例如覆盖钝化层,以无机材料不填充满沟槽为准。
参见图4,在本公开的一种实施方式中,在显示区AA与第一裂纹挡墙DAM1之间,显示面板PNL还设置有裂纹检测走线PCD,以用于检测显示面板PNL边缘的裂纹。如果裂纹穿过第一裂纹挡墙DAM1而延伸至裂纹检测走线PCD附近,可以使得裂纹检测走线PCD断线或者电阻等特性改变。如此,可以通过监测裂纹检测走线PCD的状态来监测显示面板PNL边缘的裂纹。可选的,裂纹检测走线PCD的数量为多个,以提高对裂纹监测的灵敏度和准确性。
参见图3,在本公开的一些实施方式中,所述外围区BB包括环绕所述显示区AA且依次首尾连接的第一外围区B1、第二外围区B2、第三外围区B3和第四外围区B4;所述第一外围区B1和所述第三外围区B3相对设置;所述第一外围区B1中具有用于绑定外部电路的绑定焊盘。所述外切割道OCUT设置于所述第一外围区B1和/或所述第三外围区B3。在本公开中,可以将靠近第一外围区B1的一端定义为显示面板PNL或者子板结构MM的近端,将靠近第三外围区B3的一端定义为显示面板PNL或者子板结构MM的远端。在该实施方式中,外切割道OCUT可以设置于子板结构MM的近端区域或者远端区域,亦或同时设置在近端区域或者远端区域。
作为一种示例,第一外围区B1的局部或者整体为兼容切割区MA的一部分,兼容切割区MA内设置有外切割道OCUT。作为另一种示例,第三外围区B3的局部或者整体为兼容切割区MA的一部分,兼容切割区MA内设置有外切割道OCUT。作为再一种示例,第一外围区B1的局部或者整体为兼容切割区MA的一部分,兼容切割区MA内设置有外切割道OCUT;且第三外围区B3的局部或者整体为兼容切割区MA的一部分, 兼容切割区MA内设置有外切割道OCUT。
可选的,兼容切割区MA可以不局限于第一外围区B1和第三外围区B3,也可以向第二外围区B2或者第四外围区B4延伸。
举例而言,参见图5,所述显示面板PNL具有至少一个圆角;所述外切割道OCUT至少部分设置于所述圆角处。换言之,至少一个圆角所在的区域,可以为兼容切割区MA的一部分。这样,显示面板PNL可以在圆角处选择不同的切割轨迹,进而具有不同的圆角。当显示面板PNL在圆角处选择外切割道OCUT作为切割轨迹时,显示面板PNL的至少一个所述圆角的边缘与所述外切割道OCUT部分重合。
参见图9,在子板结构MM上,内切割道ICUT与主切割道MCUT(图9中未示出)之间设置有识别标记MK,以便在显示面板PNL制备过程中进行对位和效果评估,例如用于曝光机进行对位和对曝光效果进行检测。为了保证能够准确识别识别标记MK,识别标记MK所在区域的无机材料层BIL需要被保留。然而,识别标记MK所在区域与外切割道OCUT所在区域之间经常存在冲突,该冲突在窄边框的显示面板PNL中尤为突出,这降低了外切割道OCUT对裂纹的抑制能力。
参见图9,外切割道OCUT一般通过对无机材料层BIL进行减薄或者去除以减少该切割道内的无机材料。在切割时,一般需要沿着预设的切割轨迹线OCUL进行切割,以使得切割轨迹线OCUL两侧的膜层均已经减少或者去除了无机材料。相应的,内切割道ICUT一般通过对无机材料层BIL进行减薄或者去除以减少该切割道内的无机材料。在切割时,一般需要沿着预设的切割轨迹线ICUL进行切割,以使得切割轨迹线ICUL两侧的膜层均已经减少或者去除了无机材料。
在一些情况下,参见图9,部分识别标记MK所在的区域与外切割道OCUT存在重叠部分,尤其是可能会与外切割道OCUT中的切割轨迹线OCUL交叠。此时,可以使得外切割道OCUT断开(即不对无机材料层BIL进行减薄或者去除)以避让识别标记MK,进而确保识别标记MK的清晰准确。这样,切割轨迹线OCUL所经过的部分并不必然对无机材料层BIL进行了减薄或者去除。在切割轨迹线OCUL与识别标记MK交叠的部分,在切割时容易出现裂纹。
在另外一些情况下,参见图9,部分识别标记MK所在的区域与外切割道OCUT所在的区域存在一定的交叠。此时可以收窄外切割道OCUT的宽度以避让识别标记MK,进而确保识别标记MK的清晰准确。换言之,外切割道OCUT与部分识别标记MK相邻设置,且外切割道OCUT靠近识别标记MK的部分的宽度,小于外切割道OCUT其他部分的宽度。然而,外切割道OCUT的宽度收窄,使得其在切割时容易产生裂纹。尤其是,这些使得外切割道OCUT收窄的识别标记MK如果设置在内切割道ICUT与外切割道OCUT之间,则更不利于阻挡裂纹的延伸。
在本公开的母板结构中,参见图9,可以在外切割道OCUT与内切割道ICUT之间设置第二裂纹挡墙DAM2,以阻挡外切割道OCUT切割时产生的裂纹向显示区AA延伸,对外切割道OCUT的裂纹抑制能力进行补偿。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图9,第二裂纹挡墙DAM2可以设置在识别标记MK与内切割道ICUT之间。这样,外切割道OCUT在切割时产生的裂纹需要先突破第二裂纹挡墙DAM2才能够延伸至内切割道ICUT,然后被内切割道ICUT和第一裂纹挡墙DAM1进一步阻挡。如此,本公开的母板结构可以对外切割道OCUT的裂纹抑制能力进行补偿,降低外切割道OCUT产生的裂纹延伸至第一裂纹挡墙DAM1以内的风险;这样,该母板结构既能够灵活地制备不同的显示面板PNL,又能够避免显示面板PNL的良率降低。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,可以仅仅在各个识别标记MK与内切割道ICUT之间设置第二裂纹挡墙DAM2,以使得各个外切割道OCUT和各个识别标记MK位于第二裂纹挡墙DAM2远离内切割道ICUT的一侧。这样,最靠近所述显示区AA的外切割道OCUT与所述内切割道ICUT之间设置有所述第二裂纹挡墙DAM2。当然的,在本公开的其他实施方式中,还可以在相邻两个外切割道OCUT之间设置第二裂纹挡墙DAM2,以达到更佳的效果。
在本公开的一些实施方式中,参见图9,第二裂纹挡墙DAM2的数量可以为多个;相邻两个所述第二裂纹挡墙DAM2之间设置有裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG,所述裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG填充有有机材料。这样,第二裂纹挡墙DAM2之间的无机材料被减薄或者去除,相邻两个第二裂纹挡墙 DAM2之间间隔有有机材料;裂纹延伸至裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG时,有机材料可以有效吸收和分散裂纹尖端的应力,进而阻挡裂纹的继续延伸。可选的,第二裂纹挡墙DAM2的材料可以为无机材料。在第二裂纹挡墙DAM2之间的裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG中,既可以完全填充有机材料,也可以部分覆盖新的无机材料且被有机材料填充。进一步的,裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG还可以设置于最内侧的第二裂纹挡墙DAM2的内侧(靠近显示区AA的一侧)以及最外侧的第二裂纹挡墙DAM2的外侧(远离显示区AA的一侧),以使得任意一个第二裂纹挡墙DAM2夹设于相邻两个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG之间。
在该实施方式中,第二裂纹挡墙DAM2可以由无机材料层BIL图案化而制备,例如可以通过对无机材料层BIL的布局区域进行减薄或者去除以形成裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG,第二裂纹挡墙DAM2所在区域的其他无机材料层BIL形成所需的第二裂纹挡墙DAM2。可以理解的是,在形成第二裂纹挡墙DAM2后,第二裂纹挡墙DAM2和裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG内还可以覆盖其他无机层,以使得第二裂纹挡墙DAM2之间具有裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG为准。
在本公开的实施方式中,在第二裂纹挡墙DAM2所在区域,所述第二裂纹挡墙DAM2的数量在2~8范围内。任意两个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的深度可以相同或者不同;两个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG可以在同一图案化过程中制备,也可以在不同的图案化过程中制备。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图11和图12,至少一个所述裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的槽底位于所述无机材料层BIL,例如至少一个所述裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的槽底位于无机缓冲层Buff或者所述无机阻挡层Barr。
在本公开的另一种实施方式中,参见图13,至少一个所述裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的槽底位于所述有机衬底基板BP。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,所述无机材料层BIL包括依次层叠于所述有机衬底基板BP一侧的无机阻挡层Barr、无机缓冲层Buff、栅极绝缘层GI、层间电介质层ILD;所述裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的槽底位于所述无机缓冲层Buff、所述无机阻挡层Barr或者所述有机衬底基板BP。
可选的,裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG可以通过对无机材料层BIL的刻蚀而 获得,裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的刻蚀过程可以根据显示面板PNL的工艺过程需要进行调整。举例而言,在本公开的一种实施方式中,显示面板PNL在第一外围区B1具有弯折区。无机材料层BIL在弯折区的部分需要被刻蚀,以提高弯折区的弯折能力。弯折区的无机材料层BIL可以采用两次刻蚀工艺进行刻蚀,也可以采用一次刻蚀工艺,或者三次及三次以上的刻蚀工艺。在对弯折区的无机材料层BIL进行刻蚀时,也可以同时对位于内切割道ICUT外侧的无机材料层BIL进行刻蚀以形成所需的裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG。当然的,在本公开的其他实施方式中,裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的形成也可以与弯折区的刻蚀不同步。
作为一种示例,显示面板PNL在弯折区采用两次刻蚀工艺,即采用第一刻蚀(EBI,edge bending step A+ILD etch)工艺和第二刻蚀(EBB,edge bending step B)工艺。在EBI工艺中,可以对层间电介质层ILD以及层间电介质层ILD以下(层间电介质层ILD靠近有机衬底基板BP一侧)的膜层进行图案化以形成开口,以便暴露半导体层;同时,对弯折区进行初步的刻蚀。参见图11,通过对掩膜版的调整,该EBI工艺也可以用于形成裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG,这些裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG可以被定义为第一裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG1。在EBB工艺中,对弯折区进行进一步刻蚀,以进一步减薄或者去除弯折区的无机材料层BIL。这样,显示面板PNL在弯折区可以进行弯折,进而减小显示装置的边框。参见图12,通过对掩膜版的调整,该EBB工艺也可以用于形成裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG,这些裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG可以被定义为第二裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG2。当然的,在一些实施方式中,对于一些裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG,可以先采用EBI工艺进行初步的刻蚀,然后再采用EBB工艺进行进一步的刻蚀,则所形成的裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG可被定义为第三裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG3(参见图13)。
在本公开的一些实施方式中,参见图11~图13,第一裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG1的深度小于第二裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG2,但是两者的槽底均位于无机缓冲层Buff,或者第一裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG1的槽底位于无机缓冲层Buff而第二裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG2的槽底位于无机阻挡层Barr。当然的,在另外一些实施方式中,第一裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG1和第二裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG2的槽底也可以穿过无机缓冲层Buff而伸入至无机阻挡层Barr。
第三裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG3的深度可以大于第一裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG1和第二裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG2。在本公开的一种实施方式中,第三裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG3沿显示面板PNL的法线方向贯穿无机材料层BIL而位于有机衬底基板BP。
在本公开的显示面板PNL中,各个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的所采用的制备工艺可以相同或者不相同,即任意两个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的深度可以相同或者不相同。
在一种示例中,参见图14,各个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG均为第一裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG1,即各个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG均在EBI工艺中制备。
在另一种示例中,参见图15,各个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG均为第二裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG2,即各个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG均在EBB工艺中制备。
在另一种示例中,参见图16,各个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG均为第三裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG3,即各个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG均采用EBI工艺+外围区BBB工艺的方式进行制备。
在另一种示例中,参见图17,至少部分裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG为第一裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG1,且至少部分裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG为第二裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG2,即两个裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的深度可以相同或者不同。进一步的,参见图17,沿垂直于裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的延伸方向,第一裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG1和第二裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG2依次间隔排列。
当然的,上述示例的裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的组合形式仅仅为本公开的示例,本公开的显示面板PNL中的裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG还可以呈现为其他组合方式,本公开对此不作限定。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,所述第二裂纹挡墙DAM2的宽度在5~15微米范围内。当然的,在本公开的其他实施方式中,第二裂纹挡墙DAM2的宽度也可以更宽或者更窄。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,所述裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的宽度在5~10微米范围内。当然的,在本公开的其他实施方式中,裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的宽度也可以更宽或者更窄。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,所述第二裂纹挡墙DAM2的宽度与所述裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的宽度的比值,在0.8~1.2之间。示例性的,第二 裂纹挡墙DAM2的宽度与所述裂纹阻挡沟槽DAMG的宽度的比值为1:1。
本公开实施方式还提供一种显示装置,该显示装置包括上述显示面板实施方式所描述的任意一种显示面板。该显示装置可以为智能手机屏幕、智能手表屏幕或者其他类型的显示装置。由于该显示装置具有上述显示面板实施方式所描述的任意一种显示面板,因此具有相同的有益效果,本公开在此不再赘述。本领域技术人员在考虑说明书及实践这里公开的发明后,将容易想到本公开的其它实施方案。本申请旨在涵盖本公开的任何变型、用途或者适应性变化,这些变型、用途或者适应性变化遵循本公开的一般性原理并包括本公开未公开的本技术领域中的公知常识或惯用技术手段。说明书和实施例仅被视为示例性的,本公开的真正范围和精神由所附的权利要求指出。
