图1是本公开实施例提供的一种显示面板的平面示意图。如图1所示,显示面板包括:显示区域P和围绕显示区域P的非显示区域Q,在显示区域P中包括阵列布置的多个发光单元21。以下以其中一个发光单元处的截面为例对显示面板的结构说明。
图2是本公开实施例提供的一种显示面板的截面示意图。图2是图1中的AA处示意的截面图。如图2所示,显示面板包括:驱动背板10、发光功能层20和光取出层30,发光功能层20和光取出层30依次位于驱动背板10的承载面上。
其中,承载面是指驱动背板10用于承载其他膜层的表面,例如,驱动背板上形成有发光功能层时,驱动背板10与发光功能层20接触的表面即为承载面。
如图2所示,发光功能层20包括阵列布置的多个发光单元21。其中,发光功能层包括像素限定层23,像素限定层23中具有多个开口,每个开口中设有一个发光单元21,像素限定层23的开口的范围即为发光单元21的外轮廓范围。
如图2所示,光取出层30包括第一子层31和第二子层32,第一子层31和第二子层32依次层叠在发光功能层20上,第一子层31的折射率低于第二子层32的折射率。第一子层31具有多个凹槽310(图2中仅示出了一个),凹槽310与发光单元21一一对应,第二子层32的部分位于多个凹槽310内。
其中,凹槽310的边界长度大于对应的一个发光单元21的发光区域的边界长度。凹槽的边界长度是指凹槽的外轮廓的周长。发光单元的发光区域的边界长度是指发光单元的发光区域的外轮廓的周长。
本公开实施例提供的显示面板中,驱动背板10、发光功能层20和光取出层 30依次层叠,其中,在发光层上设置两层折射率不同且层叠的子层。折射率低的第一子层31具有凹槽310,折射率高的第二子层32部分位于凹槽310中,以填充凹槽310。参见图2中右侧箭头示意光路,这样当光线从发光功能层20斜向照射到凹槽310的侧壁与第二子层32的交界面时,由于光线是从高折射率的第二子层32射向低折射率的第一子层31,因此会发生反射,从而改变斜向出射的光线的出射方向,能使光线在交界面反射后从显示面板的出光面出射。
图3是本公开实施例提供的一种第一子层与发光单元的投影关系图。如图3所示,每个凹槽310与多个发光单元21中的一个发光单元21(参见图中虚线)相对。凹槽310在承载面上的正投影的外轮廓的至少部分(参见图中实线),位于对应的发光单元21在承载面上的正投影(参见图中虚线)内。这里,发光单元21在承载面上的正投影可以为发光功能层20中像素限定层23的开口的正投影。
可选地,如图2、3所示,多个凹槽310中的至少一个凹槽310的侧壁具有凸起40,凸起40向凹槽310的中心方向凸出。
图4是本公开实施例提供的一种显示面板的截面示意图。图4中示意的截面为图3中NN处示意的截面图。如图4所示,在凹槽310中未设置凸起40的区域,在NN截面线的方向上,第一子层31的凹槽的宽度K不小于发光单元21的长度。
图2是图4中的MM处示意的截面图。如图2所示,在凹槽310中设置凸起40的区域,在MM截面线的方向上,第一子层31的凹槽的宽度小于发光单元21的长度,以使得凹槽310在承载面上的正投影的外轮廓的部分位于对应的发光单元21在承载面上的正投影内。
上述实现方式中,凹槽310的正投影的外轮廓存在部分在发光单元21的正投影内,即第一子层31存在部分区域和发光单元21正对,这样与该部分区域相对的发光单元发出的部分光线(参见图2中左侧箭头示意光路),可以进入到该部分区域对应的低折射率的第一子层31中,待光线再从低折射率的第一子层31进入到高折射率的第二子层32时,会发生折射,使光线折射角度小于光线的入射角度,从而让发光单元21边缘位置向远离发光单元中心的方向出射的部分光线,朝发光单元中心的方向靠近,从而进一步增加了正向出射的光线,提升显示面板的出光效率。
在其他一些实现方式中,第一子层的凹槽的宽度可以小于或等于发光单元的长度,以使得凹槽在承载面上的正投影的外轮廓完全位于对应的发光单元在承载面上的正投影内。
其中,发光单元21包括依次层叠的阳极层、发光层和阴极层。
示例性地,发光层包括可以包括空穴传输层(Hole Transport Layer,简称HTL)、空穴注入层(Hole Injection Layer,简称HIL)、电子传输层(Electron Transport Layer,简称ETL)、电子注入层(Electron Injection Layer,简称EIL)、空穴阻挡层(Hole Block Layer,简称HBL)、电子阻挡层(Electron Blocking Layer,简称EBL)和发光材料层。电子注入层、电子传输层、空穴阻挡层、发光材料层、空穴传输层、空穴注入层和电子阻挡层依次层叠。
可选地,阴极层可以是透明导电层,阳极层可以是透明导电层或金属层。
例如,透明导电层可以是ITO(Indium tin oxide,氧化铟锡)层和IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锌)层。
例如,金属层可以是Mg、Al、Au、Pt、Cu等金属层。金属层可以为单金属层或者由至少两种金属层叠。
其中,驱动背板10可以包括衬底基板和多个驱动电路,多个驱动电路阵列布置在衬底基板上。每个驱动电路与对应的一个发光单元21连接。例如,驱动电路与发光单元21的阳极层电连接。这样,发光单元21就可以在所连接的驱动电路的驱动下发光。
本公开实施例中,驱动背板10可以为TFT(Thin Film Transistor,薄膜晶体管)基板,驱动背板10上的每个驱动电路至少包括2个TFT,用于控制所连接的发光单元21发光。
示例性地,驱动电路包括依次层叠在衬底基板上的有源层、栅极绝缘层、栅极层、层间介电层和源漏极层。发光单元21与对应的驱动电路的源漏极层连接。
示例性地,衬底基板的制作材料可以是玻璃、石英、塑料等;有源层的制作材料可以是非晶硅、多晶硅或金属氧化物半导体等;栅极绝缘层的制作材料可以是硅氧化物或硅氮化物,硅氮氧化物等;栅极金属层的制作材料可以是钼、铜、钛等单层金属薄膜,也可以是钼/铝/钼或钛/铝/钛等多层金属薄膜;层间介电层的制作材料可以是硅氧化物或硅氮化物等;源漏金属层的制作材料可以是 铝、钼、铜、钛等单层金属薄膜,也可以是钼/铝/钼或钛/铝/钛等多层金属薄膜。
示例性地,当驱动背板的各TFT的有源层的制作材料均为多晶硅时,该种驱动背板是LTPS(Low Temperature Poly-Silicon,低温多晶硅)驱动背板。
示例性地,当驱动背板的各TFT的中,一部分TFT的有源层中的制作材料为多晶硅,另一部分TFT的有源层的制作材料为金属氧化物时,该种驱动背板是LTPO(Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide,低温多晶氧化物)驱动背板。
需要说明的是,示例中仅举出了具有单层栅极金属层的TFT基板结构,TFT基板结构还可以是双层栅极金属层等多种结构,本公开实施例对此不做限制。
可选地,如图3所示,凹槽310与发光单元21一一对应。在其他实现方式中,凹槽310的数量可以少于发光单元21的数量,每个凹槽310有与之对应的一个发光单元21,部分发光单元21则没有与之对应的凹槽310。
本公开实施例中,凹槽的形状可以是任意形状,例如矩形、圆形、椭圆形或者多边形等,且凹槽的排列方式也可以采用任意方式排列。
在一些示例中,发光单元包括多种颜色的发光单元,不同颜色的发光单元的尺寸不同,相应地,与发光单元对应的各凹槽310的尺寸也不同。
例如,红光发光单元R的面积大于绿光发光单元G的面积,绿光发光单元G的面积大于蓝光发光单元B的面积。其中,与红光发光单元R对应的凹槽310的面积也大于与绿光发光单元G对应的凹槽310的面积,与绿光发光单元G对应的凹槽310的面积也大于与蓝光发光单元B对应的凹槽310的面积。
可选地,第一子层31为透明光学材料层或者油墨材料层,第二子层32为透明光学材料层或者油墨材料层。
其中,透明光学材料层可以是聚酰亚胺类树脂层或亚克力材料层,油墨材料层可以是亚克力材料层或环氧类材料层。
需要说明的是,透明光学材料层的透光度不一定是100%,透明光学材料层的透光度也可以是50%至99%,本公开实施例不做限制。
可选地,如图2所示,凹槽310具有第一开口311和第二开口312,第一开口311位于第一子层31靠近驱动背板10的一侧面,第二开口312位于第一子层31远离驱动背板10的一侧面,第一开口311在承载面上的正投影位于第二开口312在承载面上的正投影内。也即是,凹槽310靠近驱动背板10的开口比 远离驱动背板10的开口的面积小。
在一些实现方式中,如图2所示,凹槽310的侧壁为平面。也即是,凹槽310的侧壁相对于驱动背板10是倾斜的。
这样当光线从发光单元21斜向照射到凹槽310的侧壁与第二子层32的交界面时,由于光线是从高折射率的第二子层32射向低折射率的第一子层31,光线在交界处会发生反射,从而改变斜向出射的光线的出射角度。由于凹槽310的侧壁是倾斜的,这样斜向出射的光线在凹槽310的侧壁上反射后,能使光线反射后的出射方向更容易趋向垂直于显示面板的出光面的方向,让更多的光线正向出光。
示例性地,如图2所示,凹槽310的侧壁与驱动背板10的夹角α为40°至80°。
通过将凹槽310的侧壁和驱动背板10的夹角限制在上述角度范围内,能避免侧壁的倾斜角度设置过大或过小,而起不到将光线的出射方向控制在垂直于显示面板的出光面的方向的作用。
例如,凹槽310的侧壁与驱动背板10之间的夹角是60°。将凹槽310的侧壁的倾角设置为该角度,能让部分光线入射到凹槽的侧壁时,光线与凹槽的侧壁的夹角在特定范围内,以让光线发生全反射,提高出光率,且还能将绝大部分光线的出射方向调整成垂直于显示面板的出光面的方向,以提升光线正向出光率。
其中,光线与凹槽的侧壁的夹角θ≤90-arcsin(n2/n1)时,发生全反射。第一子层的折射率为n2,第二子层的折射率为n1。
在另外一些实现方式中,图5是本公开实施例提供的一种光取出层的结构示意图。如图5所示,凹槽310的侧壁为曲面,且凹槽310的侧壁朝远离凹槽310的中心的方向凹陷。
示例性地,如图5所示,凹槽310的侧壁可以是圆弧面。
在另外一些实现方式中,图6是本公开实施例提供的一种光取出层的结构示意图。如图6所示,凹槽310的侧壁为曲面,且凹槽310的侧壁朝凹槽310的中心的方向突出。
示例性地,如图6所示,凹槽310的侧壁可以是圆弧面。
将凹槽310的侧壁设置为圆弧面,斜向出射的光线在圆弧面上反射后,同 样能使光线反射后的出射方向趋向垂直于显示面板的出光面的方向,以让更多的光线正向出光。
可选地,凹槽310的侧壁包括依次连接在所述第一开口和所述第二开口之间的多个平面,相连的两个平面之间具有夹角。
示例性地,图7是本公开实施例提供的一种光取出层的结构示意图。如图7所示,凹槽的侧壁为两个相连的平面,相连的两个平面之间的夹角为钝角。
将凹槽310的侧壁设置为两个相连的平面,让同样角度射向凹槽的侧壁的光线,能以不同的角度从显示面板出射,以增大发光单元的出光面积。
需要说明的是,凹槽310的侧壁还可以是其他结构,只要满足斜向出射的光线在凹槽310的侧壁处反射后,促使光线能沿着垂直于显示面板的方向出光即可,本公开实施例不做限制。
可选地,如图2、3所示,凸起40在承载面上的正投影的至少部分位于发光单元21在承载面上的正投影内。
其中,凸起40朝向发光单元21的表面与发光单元21的侧面相接触。即凸起40靠近发光单元21的侧面与发光单元21的侧面位于同一平面。
其中,凸起40的部分表面和第一子层31靠近发光单元21的侧面均与同一膜层的同一表面接触。例如,当第一子层31直接位于发光功能层20上时,凸起40的部分表面与发光单元21靠近第一子层的侧面接触。
本公开实施例中,凸起40向凹槽310的中心方向凸出,以使凸起40在承载面上的正投影位于对应的发光单元21在承载面上的正投影内。
上述实现方式中,相较于未设置凸起40的侧壁,在凹槽310的侧壁上设置凸起40能增大凹槽310的侧壁的反射面积,从而进一步提升正向出光。同时,凸起40是和发光单元21正对的,以使得发光单元21与凸起40相对的部分发出光线后,光线可以直接从入射到低折射率的第一子层31中,这样光线再从低折射率的第一子层31进入到高折射率的第二子层32时,会发生折射,参见图2中示意的光路,让部分光线朝着显示面板的周边出射,不仅让更多光线从显示面板出射,还能让显示面板各位置均匀出光,提升显示面板的整面出光效果。
本公开实施例中,凸起40在承载面上的正投影的至少部分位于发光单元21在承载面上的正投影内,包括以下两种实现方式。
在第一种实现方式中,参见图3,凹槽310在承载面上的正投影的外轮廓中除了凸起40的部分,与对应的发光单元21在承载面上的正投影的外轮廓重合,此时,凸起40在承载面上的正投影完全位于对应的发光单元21在承载面上的正投影内。
在第二种实现方式中,凹槽在承载面上的正投影的外轮廓中除了凸起的部分,包围对应的发光单元在承载面上的正投影。即发光单元在承载面上的正投影,位于对应的凹槽在承载面上的正投影的外轮廓中除了凸起的部分内。此时,凸起在承载面上的正投影只有部分位于对应的发光单元在承载面上的正投影内。
可选地,如图3所示,凸起40的最大长度L为1μm至3μm,凸起40的最大宽度h为1μm至5μm。
其中,凸起的长度是凸起的外壁面在平行于承载面的截面上的点至凹槽侧壁的最大距离。
凸起的宽度是凸起在平行于承载面的截面上,垂直于凸起的长度方向上的最大距离。
可选地,凸起40的平行于承载面的截面的形状包括弧形。
示例性地,凸起40的平行于承载面的截面的形状可以是半圆形或半椭圆形。
需要说明的是,凸起的平行于承载面的截面的形状还可以是其他形状,例如,优弧和劣弧,本公开实施例不做限制。
在一些实现方式中,图8是本公开实施例提供的一种第一子层的部分结构示意图。如图8所示,凸起40的外壁面为圆锥面,凸起40的尺寸较大的一端与第一子层31靠近发光单元21的侧面共面。如图2所示,凸起40的平行于承载面的截面为半圆形。
其中,凸起40的外壁面是指:凸起40与第二子层32接触的表面。
将凸起40设置呈圆锥状,除了能让发光单元21与凸起40相对的部分发出光线直接从入射到低折射率的第一子层31中,以在第一子层31和第二子层32的交界处折射,让部分光线朝着显示面板的周边出射外;由于凸起40的外壁面为圆锥面,相较于斜面,各种方位从第二子层32射向第一子层31的光线经圆锥面反射后,绝大部分光线均能以相似的出射角度从光取出层出射,以将各个方位入射到第一子层31的光线调整为垂直于显示面板的出光面的方向。
可选地,如图3所示,凸起40在平行于驱动背板10方向上的截面的最大半径为1μm至3μm。
将凸起40的尺寸设置在上述范围内,可以避免凸起40的尺寸设置过大,而缩小凹槽310的尺寸,减少正向出光的光线量;还可以避免凸起40的尺寸设置过小,而不能有效提升光线正向出光率。
示例性地,如图3所示,凸起40的最大半径可以是1μm至2μm。其中,凸起40的最大半径是凸起40朝向驱动背板10的一端的侧面的半径。例如,凸起40的最大半径可以是2μm。
图9是本公开实施例提供的另一种第一子层的部分结构示意图。如图9所示,凸起40的外壁面为圆台的弧形侧面,凸起40的尺寸较大的一端与第一子层31靠近发光单元21的侧面共面。
由于凸起40为圆台状,相较于圆锥状的凸起40,圆台状的凸起40的外壁面的面积更大,能提供更大的面积与光线反射,将各个方位入射到第一子层31的光线调整为垂直于显示面板的出光面的方向。
图10是本公开实施例提供的另一种第一子层的部分结构示意图。如图10所示,凸起40的外壁面为柱面,柱面的直母线与凹槽310的侧壁平行。
将凸起40设置呈圆柱状,除了能让发光单元21与凸起40相对的部分发出光线直接从入射到低折射率的第一子层31中,以在第一子层31和第二子层32的交界处折射,让部分光线朝着显示面板的周边出射外;由于凸起40的外壁面为圆柱面,相较于斜面,各种方位从第二子层32射向第一子层31的光线均能良好地在凸起40的外壁面反射,以将各个方位入射到第一子层31的光线调整为垂直于显示面板的出光面的方向。
图11是本公开实施例提供的一种第一子层的平面示意图。图11是图10示意的第一子层的平面示意图。如图11所示,凸起40在平行于驱动背板10方向上的截面为半椭圆状。相较于将凸起40设置为圆锥,相同尺寸(半径)的圆柱状的凸起40与发光单元21相对的面积更大,从而能让更多的光线直接入射到第一子层31,从而让更多的光线朝着显示面板的周边出射,让显示面板各位置均匀出光,提升显示面板的整面出光效果。
可选地,凸起40为圆柱状,圆柱状的凸起40的半径不超过3μm。示例性地,圆柱状的凸起40的半径可以是2μm。
将凸起40的尺寸设置在上述范围内,可以避免凸起40的尺寸设置过大,而缩小凹槽310的尺寸,减少正向出光的光线量;还可以避免凸起40的尺寸设置过小,而不能有效提升光线正向出光率。
在本公开实施例的一些实现方式中,如图3所示,凸起40有多个,多个凸起40以凹槽310的几何中心为中心环绕间隔分布。
通过在凹槽310的侧壁设置有多个凸起40,能增大凸起40与发光单元21相对的面积,从而能让更多的光线直接入射到第一子层31,从而让更多的光线朝着显示面板的周边出射,提升显示面板的整面出光效果。
可选地,凹槽310具有多个依次首尾相连的侧壁,凹槽310的各侧壁具有至多一个凸起40。
示例性地,如图3所示,凹槽310包括四个依次首尾相连的侧壁,且相邻的两个侧壁垂直。其中,每个凹槽310的每个侧壁上均设有一个凸起40。
这样能保证凹槽310的各个侧壁均能让部分光线直接入射到第一子层,从而让各个侧壁均有光线朝着显示面板的周边出射,提升显示面板的整面出光效果。
示例性地,图12是本公开实施例提供的一种第一子层的平面示意图。如图12所示,凹槽310包括四个依次首尾相连的侧壁,且相邻的两个侧壁垂直。其中,一部分凹槽310的部分侧壁可以不设置凸起40,而另一部分凹槽310的各个侧壁均设置有凸起40,以满足提升显示面板的整面出光效果的同时,还能保证光线的正向出光率。
需要说明的是,凹槽310中也可以存在部分凹槽310的侧壁上不设置凸起40,只要满足显示面板的整面出光效果符合要求即可,本公开实施例不做限制。
图13是本公开实施例提供的一种发光单元的分布示意图。如图13所示,发光单元21在承载面上的正投影,位于凹槽310在承载面上的正投影的外轮廓内。
示例性地,如图13所示,多个凹槽310中的至少一个凹槽310的侧壁具有凸起40,凸起40向凹槽310的中心方向凸出,凸起40在承载面上的正投影位于发光单元21在承载面上的正投影外。这样发光单元21发出的光均可以在凹 槽310的侧壁上反射,从而增大显示面板的正面出光。
可选地,如图13所示,多个发光单元21在第一方向X和第二方向Y上矩阵排布。
图14是本公开实施例提供的一种发光单元的结构示意图。如图14所示,多个发光单元21包括第一发光单元F1,第一发光单元F1对应的凹槽310包括依次相连的第一侧壁301、第三侧壁303、第二侧壁302和第四侧壁304,凹槽310的各侧壁均具有一个凸起40。
其中,第一侧壁301和第二侧壁302为相对的侧壁,第三侧壁303和第四侧壁304为相对的侧壁。
示例性地,如图14所示,位于第一侧壁301的凸起40的几何中心与位于第二侧壁302的凸起40的几何中心的连线为第一连接线A1,第一连接线A1与第三侧壁303或第四侧壁304相交。
其中,第一连接线A1与第三侧壁303相交是指:第一连接线A1与第三侧壁303靠近第一发光单元的侧边的延长线相交。第一连接线A1与第四侧壁304相交是指:第一连接线A1与第四侧壁304靠近第一发光单元的侧边的延长线相交。
示例性地,如图14所示,位于第三侧壁303的凸起40的几何中心与位于第四侧壁304的凸起的几何中心的连线为第二连接线A2,第二连接线A2与第一侧壁301或第二侧壁302相交。
其中,第二连接线A2与第一侧壁301相交是指:第二连接线A2与第一侧壁301靠近第一发光单元的侧边的延长线相交。第二连接线A2与第二侧壁302相交是指:第二连接线A2与第二侧壁302靠近第一发光单元的侧边的延长线相交。
可选地,第一侧壁301、第二侧壁302、第三侧壁303和第四侧壁304的靠近第一发光单元的侧边均包括直线段305。
第一侧壁301、第二侧壁302、第三侧壁303和第四侧壁304中的至少一个的靠近第一发光单元的侧边还包括弧线段306,弧线段306与弧线段306所在侧边的直线段305的一端相连。第一侧壁301、第二侧壁302、第三侧壁303和第四侧壁304中的凸起40分别位于对应的直线段305的中点。
示例性地,如图14所示,第一发光单元的第一侧壁301和第四侧壁304均 包括一个直线段和一个弧线段,第一侧壁301的弧线段与第四侧壁304的弧线段相连,相连的两个弧线段形成圆角。即第一侧壁301和第四侧壁304的靠近第一发光单元的侧边包括直线段305和弧线段306,第一侧壁301的弧线段306与第四侧壁304的弧线段306相连,以在第一侧壁301和第四侧壁304的交界处形成圆角。
如图14所示,第一侧壁301上的凸起40位于直线段305的中点,第四侧壁304上的凸起40位于直线段305的中点。
示例性地,如图14所示,在第一发光单元中,第三侧壁的凸起位于直线段的中点,即第三侧壁的凸起至第一侧壁或第二侧壁的距离等于第一侧壁和第二侧壁的间距的二分之一。
示例性地,如图14所示,在第一发光单元中,第二侧壁的凸起位于直线段的中点,即第二侧壁的凸起至第三侧壁或第四侧壁的距离等于第三侧壁和第四侧壁的间距的二分之一。
上述实现方式中,第二侧壁和第三侧壁均只包括直线段,且第二侧壁和第四侧壁上的凸起均位于直线段的中点。这样让各个侧壁上的凸起均设置在直线段的中点,有利于色偏平衡。
如图13所示,第一连接线A1与第一方向X和第二方向Y均交叉;和/或第二连接线A2与第一方向X和第二方向Y均交叉。
这样让发光单元矩阵分布,能合理控制多个发光单元的布置位置和间距,保证显示面板的发光效果。
可选地,如图13所示,多个发光单元还包括:第二发光单元F2和第三发光单元F3。
如图13所示,第二发光单元F2和第三发光单元F3均包括依次相连的四个侧壁和位于各侧壁上的凸起40。
其中,第二发光单元F2和第三发光单元F3与第一发光单元F1类似,同样可以包括依次相连的第一侧壁301、第三侧壁303、第二侧壁302和第四侧壁304,且各侧壁均具有一个凸起40。
如图13所示,第二发光单F2元上相对的两个凸起40沿第一直线B1或第二直线B2排布,第三发光单元F3上相对的两个凸起40沿第一直线B1或第二直线B2排布,第一直线B1与第一方向X平行,第二直线B2与第二方向Y平 行。
如图13所示,第一连接线A1与第二方向Y相交,第二连接线A2与第一方向X相交。
本公开实施例中,第一发光单元F1为蓝光发光单元B,第二发光单元F2为红光发光单元R,第三发光单元F3为绿光发光单元G。
图13中面积最大矩形块为蓝色发光单元B,面积最小的矩形块为绿光发光单元G,面积居中的矩形块为红光发光单元R。其中,蓝光发光单元B、红光发光单元R和绿光发光单元G均沿第一方向X和第二方向Y矩阵排布。
如图13所示,蓝光发光单元的第一连接线A1与第二方向Y相交,蓝光发光单元的第二连接线A2与第一方向X相交。
结合图13、14,蓝光发光单元中,第一侧壁301和第四侧壁304相连的区域设有圆角,且凸起40是位于直线段305的中点的,因而第一侧壁301上的凸起40不在侧边的中点,而第二侧壁302的凸起40则位于侧边的中点,因此,凹槽310的第一侧壁301的凸起40和第二侧壁302的凸起40不是沿第二方向Y分布的。且第三侧壁303上的凸起40不在侧边的中点,第四侧壁304的凸起40位于侧边的中点,因此,凹槽310的第三侧壁303的凸起40和第四侧壁304的凸起40也不是沿第一方向X分布的。
本公开实施例中,如图14所示,蓝光发光单元中,像素限定层23对应第一侧壁301和第四侧壁304之间的圆角的位置也设有圆角。像素限定层23中与凹槽310的第一侧壁301对应的侧壁和像素限定层23中与凹槽310的第四侧壁304对应的侧壁,两个侧壁之间也设有圆角,这样让像素限定层23的形状能与光取出层30的形状保持一致,以便于光线的出射。
如图13所示,红光发光单元R上第一侧壁301的凸起和第二侧壁302的凸起沿第二直线B2排布,红光发光单元R上第三侧壁303的凸起和第四侧壁304的凸起沿第一直线B1排布。
在红光发光单元中,第一侧壁301、第二侧壁302、第三侧壁303和第四侧壁304的侧边均没有设置弧线段。因此,在红光发光单元中,凹槽310的第一侧壁301的凸起40和第二侧壁302的凸起40沿第二直线B2分布,凹槽310的第三侧壁303的凸起40和第四侧壁304的凸起40沿第一直线B1分布的。
如图13所示,绿光发光单元G上第一侧壁301的凸起和第二侧壁302的凸 起沿第二直线B2排布,绿光发光单元G上第三侧壁303的凸起和第四侧壁304的凸起沿第一直线B1排布。
在绿光发光单元中,第一侧壁301、第二侧壁302、第三侧壁303和第四侧壁304的侧边均没有设置弧线段。因此,在绿光发光单元中,凹槽310的第一侧壁301的凸起40和第二侧壁302的凸起40沿第二直线B2分布,凹槽310的第三侧壁303的凸起40和第四侧壁304的凸起40沿第一直线B1分布的。
可选地,如图13、14所示,第一发光单元的第一侧壁301和第四侧壁304均包括一个直线段305和一个弧线段306,第一侧壁301的弧线段306与第四侧壁304的弧线段306相连。
在一种实现方式中,如图13所示,第一发光单元的第一侧壁301上的凸起40与第二直线不重叠,第一发光单元的第四侧壁304上的凸起40与第一直线不重叠,第一发光单元的第二侧壁302上的凸起40位于第二直线上,第一发光单元的第三侧壁303上的凸起40位于第一直线上。
如图13所示,第一发光单元的第一侧壁301上的凸起40位于第二直线上,第一发光单元的第四侧壁304上的凸起40位于第一直线上,第一发光单元的第二侧壁302上的凸起40与第二直线不重叠,第一发光单元的第三侧壁303上的凸起40与第一直线不重叠。
上述实现方式中,第一发光单元中,没有设置圆角的第二侧壁的凸起和其他发光单元中的第二侧壁的凸起沿同一直线分布;没有设置圆角的第三侧壁的凸起和其他发光单元中的第三侧壁的凸起沿同一直线分布。而设有圆角的第一侧壁的凸起和其他发光单元中的第一侧壁的凸起不在同一直线;设有圆角的第四侧壁的凸起和其他发光单元中的第四侧壁的凸起不在同一直线。
可选地,如图13所示,至少部分发光单元中,多个凸起40的几何中心和凹槽310的几何中心重叠。凹槽的每个侧壁上均设有一个凸起40,多个凸起40整体的几何中心与凹槽310的几何中心重叠。
示例性地,如图13所示,红光发光单元R的四个凸起40整体的几何中心和凹槽310的几何中心W重叠。
在另外一种实现方式中,如图15所示,第一发光单元的第一侧壁301上的凸起40位于绿光发光单元的第一连接线A1的延长线上,蓝光发光单元的第二 侧壁302上的凸起40位于绿光发光单元的第一连接线A1的延长线之外。
如图15所示,第一发光单元的第四侧壁304上的凸起40位于第一直线B1上,蓝光发光单元的第三侧壁303上的凸起40位于第一直线B1之外。
上述实现方式中,第一发光单元中,没有设置圆角的第二侧壁的凸起和其他发光单元中的第二侧壁的凸起不在同一直线;没有设置圆角的第三侧壁的凸起和其他发光单元中的第三侧壁的凸起不在同一直线。而设有圆角的第一侧壁的凸起和其他发光单元中的第一侧壁的凸起沿同一直线分布;设有圆角的第四侧壁的凸起和其他发光单元中的第四侧壁的凸起沿同一直线分布。
需要说明的是,上述两种实现方式均以第一发光单元的第一侧壁和第四侧壁交界处具有圆角为例。在其他实施例中,第一发光单元、第二发光单元和第三发光单元中的至少两种发光单元都采用第一发光单元的结构。
例如,每个发光单元都采用第一发光单元的结构,即第一发光单元、第二发光单元、第三发光单元的第一侧壁和第四侧壁交界处均具有圆角。
例如,第一发光单元和第二发光单元的结构相同,即第一发光单元和第二发光单元的第一侧壁和第四侧壁交界处均具有圆角。
例如,第一发光单元和第三发光单元的结构相同,即第一发光单元和第三发光单元的第一侧壁和第四侧壁交界处均具有圆角。
需要说明的是,凸起40在承载面上的正投影位于发光单元21在承载面上的正投影外的情况下,凸起40的形状、尺寸均可以参考图4至11示意的实施例。
示例性地,如图14所示,凸起40的最大宽度h可以是1μm至5μm,凸起40的最大长度L可以是1μm至3μm。凸起40的宽度方向和长度方向垂直,且凸起40的宽度方向和长度方向均平行于驱动背板10的承载面。
在本公开的一种实现方式中,凸起的最大宽度h是1μm,凸起的最大长度L是1μm,且第一子层的凹槽的开口长度与像素限定层的开口长度相同,这样就使得凸起与发光单元具有相互重叠的部分,也即是凸起在承载面上的正投影位于像素限定层的开口在承载面上的正投影内。此时显示面板的功耗收益最大。
可选地,光取出层中第一子层的凹槽310的开口长度与像素限定层的开口长度的差值为±4μm。即凹槽的开口长度比像素限定层的开口长度大或者小, 且凹槽310与像素限定层23中相互平行且相距最近的两个侧壁的间距c为0至2μm。
以第一子层为例,凹槽310的开口长度是指第一子层的凹槽的相对两个侧壁的间距,例如,凹槽的第一侧壁和第二侧壁之间的间距。
像素限定层的开口长度是指像素限定层的相对两个侧壁的间距,例如,像素限定层上平行且靠近第一侧壁和平行且靠近第二侧壁的两个侧壁的间距。
图16是本公开实施例提供的一种显示面板的截面示意图。图16示意的是沿着图14中SS*剖面线截取的截面图,图16中左侧为S端,图16中右侧为S*端。如图16所示,第一子层31的凹槽310的开口长度L1大于像素限定层23的开口长度L2。
图17是本公开实施例提供的一种发光单元的结构示意图。图17中凸起40的部分区域与发光单元21重叠。图18是本公开实施例提供的一种显示面板的截面示意图。图18示意的是沿着图17中SS*剖面线截取的截面图。如图18所示,第一子层31的凹槽310的开口长度L1大于像素限定层23的开口长度L2,且凸起40的部分区域与发光单元21重叠。
图19是本公开实施例提供的一种发光单元的结构示意图。图19中凸起40完全位于发光单元21内。图20是本公开实施例提供的一种显示面板的截面示意图。图20示意的是沿着图19中SS*剖面线截取的截面图。如图20所示,第一子层31的凹槽310的开口长度L1小于像素限定层23的开口长度L2。
需要说明的是,若需调整显示面板的视角,可以调整第一子层的凹槽的开口长度与像素限定层的开口长度,让第一子层的凹槽的开口长度比像素限定层的开口长度大或者小,且控制凹槽与像素限定层中相互平行且相距最近的两个侧壁的间距不大于2μm。
例如,第一子层的凹槽的开口长度比像素限定层的开口长度大,像素限定层的开口位于第一子层的凹槽的开口内;例如,第一子层的凹槽的开口长度比像素限定层的开口长度小,第一子层的凹槽的开口位于像素限定层的开口内。两种实现方式中,凹槽与像素限定层中相互平行且相距最近的两个侧壁的间距为0至2μm。
图21是本公开实施例提供的一种第一子层的部分结构示意图。图22是本公开实施例提供的一种第一子层的俯视图。如图21、22所示,凸起40呈框状,凸起40的几何中心O与凹槽310的几何中心O相同。
其中,框状可以是指具有内孔的对称形状,例如,框状可以是方形框、圆环等。几何中心是具有一定对称性的图形的最中心的位置,例如,图形为圆环时,几何中心为圆环的圆心。
通过将凸起40设置呈框状,能最大程度增大凸起40与发光单元21相对的面积,从而能让更多的光线直接入射到第一子层31,让更多的光线朝着显示面板的周边出射,提升显示面板的整面出光效果。
本公开实施例中,凹槽310在平行于驱动背板10的方向上的截面的形状可以与凸起40在驱动背板10的方向上的截面的形状相同,以使凸起40的外边缘恰好与凹槽310的侧壁相连。
示例性地,凹槽310的截面和凸起40的截面均可以是圆形,即凸起40呈圆环状。
示例性地,如图22所示,凹槽310的截面和凸起40的截面均可以是矩形。
图23是本公开实施例提供的一种第一子层的平面示意图。如图23所示,凹槽310的侧壁具有凹陷部50,凹陷部50朝远离凹槽310的几何中心的方向凹陷,凹陷部50至少位于第一子层31靠近发光功能层20的侧面。
如图23所示,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影的至少部分,位于对应的发光单元21在驱动背板11的衬底基板上的正投影外。
通过设置凹陷部50当于扩大了凹槽310的尺寸,让发光单元21边缘区域发出的光线可以更多地入射到凹陷部50,从而让更多的光线在凹陷部50的表面处反射,从显示面板的出光面出射,提升各个发光单元21的正面出光率。
可选地,凹陷部50的凹陷深度不大于5μm。其中,凹陷部50的凹陷深度是指在平行于衬底基板的方向上,凹陷部50朝着远离凹槽310的中心方向凹陷的长度。
将凹陷部50的凹陷深度设置在上述范围内,可以避免凹陷部50的凹陷深度设置过大,而减少了发光单元21直接入射到第一子层31的光线的量,从而减少朝着显示面板的周边出射的光线,让显示面板各位置均匀出光。
本公开实施例中,凹陷部50的凹陷深度可以是1μm至3μm。例如,凹陷部50的凹陷深度是2μm。
可选地,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影的形状包括矩形、梯形、三角形和弧形中的至少一种。
示例性地,如图23所示,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影为矩形。其中,矩形的长度为1μm至2μm,矩形的宽度即凹陷部50的凹陷深度H为1μm至3μm。
图24是本公开实施例提供的一种第一子层的截面图。图24是沿图23中B处剖切线剖切得到的截面图,如图24所示,凹槽310的侧壁可以是斜面,相应地,矩形的长边所在的侧壁也可以是斜面,且凹槽310的侧壁与驱动背板10之间的倾角等于矩形的长边所在的侧壁与驱动背板10之间的倾角。
如图24所示,将凹槽310的侧壁设置为平行于矩形的长边所在的凹陷部50的侧壁,就使得以同样角度斜向入射到第一子层31的侧壁上的光线和入射到矩形的长边所在的侧壁上的光线,会以同样的出射角度从显示面板的出光面出射。
示例性地,如图25所示,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影为梯形。其中,矩形的长度为1μm至2μm,矩形的高即凹陷部50的凹陷深度H为1μm至3μm。
在上述实现方式中,凹槽310的侧壁可以是斜面,相应地,梯形的顶边所在的侧壁也可以是斜面,且凹槽310的侧壁与驱动背板10之间的倾角等于梯形的定边所在的侧壁与驱动背板10之间的倾角。
这样将凹槽310的侧壁设置为平行于梯形的顶边所在的侧壁,就使得以同样角度斜向入射到第一子层31的侧壁上的光线和入射到梯形的顶边所在的侧壁上的光线,会以同样的出射角度从显示面板的出光面出射。
示例性地,如图26所示,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影为三角形。其中,三角形为等腰三角形,在平行于驱动背板10方向上,等腰三角形的底边的长度与凹槽310的侧壁的长度相同。且等腰三角形的定点到底边的距离即凹陷部50的凹陷深度H为1μm至3μm。
相较于凹陷部50的正投影为矩形或梯形,凹陷部50的正投影为三角形时,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影的面积更大,能让更多的光线在凹陷部50的表面处反射。
图23至26仅示意了,凹槽310的开口长度L3与像素限定层的开口长度L4的差值为0的情况。此时凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影完全位于对应的发光单元在承载面上的正投影外。
在其他一些实现方式中,凹槽310的开口长度L3小于像素限定层的开口长度L4(参见图19)。此时,位于凹槽310的侧壁上的凹陷部50可以仅部分突出于发光单元21。即凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影的一部分位于对应的发光单元在承载面上的正投影内,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影的另一部分位于对应的发光单元在承载面上的正投影外。
在另外一些实现方式中,凹槽310的开口长度大于像素限定层的开口长度(参见图14、17)。此时,位于凹槽310的侧壁上的凹陷部50也完全位于对应的发光单元在承载面上的正投影外。
可选地,在凹槽的侧壁上可以仅设置有凹陷部,即凹槽的侧壁上未设置凸起。
图27是本公开实施例提供的一种第一子层的平面示意图。如图27所示,凹槽310的侧壁具有凹陷部50,凹陷部50朝远离凹槽310的几何中心的方向凹陷,凹陷部50至少位于第一子层31靠近发光功能层的侧面。
如图27所示,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影的至少部分,位于对应的发光单元21在驱动背板11的衬底基板上的正投影外。
在一些实现方式中,凹陷部在衬底基板上的正投影完全位于对应的发光单元在衬底基板上的正投影外。
在另一些实现方式中,凹陷部存在部分区域与发光单元相对,而凹陷部中不与发光单元相对的另外一部分在衬底基板上的正投影则位于对应的发光单元在衬底基板上的正投影外。
通过设置凹陷部50扩大了凹槽310的尺寸,让发光单元21边缘区域发出的光线可以更多地入射到凹陷部50,从而让更多的光线在凹陷部50的表面处反射,从显示面板的出光面出射,提升各个发光单元21的正面出光率。
可选地,凹陷部50的凹陷深度H不大于5μm。其中,凹陷部50的凹陷深度是指在平行于衬底基板的方向上,凹陷部50朝着远离凹槽310的中心方向凹陷的长度。
将凹陷部50的凹陷深度设置在上述范围内,可以避免凹陷部50的凹陷深度设置过大,而减少了发光单元21直接入射到第一子层31的光线的量,从而减少朝着显示面板的周边出射的光线,让显示面板各位置均匀出光。
本公开实施例中,凹陷部50的凹陷深度H可以是1μm至3μm。例如,凹陷部50的凹陷深度是2μm。
可选地,凹陷部在承载面上的正投影可以是规则的多边形、圆形和椭圆形,也可以是任意不规则的封闭图形。
示例性地,如图27所示,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影为矩形。其中,矩形的长度为1μm至2μm,矩形的宽度即凹陷部50的凹陷深度H为1μm至3μm。
示例性地,如图28所示,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影为梯形。其中,矩形的长度为1μm至2μm,矩形的高即凹陷部50的凹陷深度H为1μm至3μm。
在上述实现方式中,凹槽310的侧壁可以是斜面,相应地,梯形的顶边所在的侧壁也可以是斜面,且凹槽310的侧壁与驱动背板10之间的倾角等于梯形的定边所在的侧壁与驱动背板10之间的倾角。
这样将凹槽310的侧壁设置为平行于梯形的顶边所在的侧壁,就使得以同样角度斜向入射到第一子层31的侧壁上的光线和入射到梯形的顶边所在的侧壁上的光线,会以同样的出射角度从显示面板的出光面出射。
示例性地,如图29所示,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影为三角形。其中,三角形为等腰三角形,在平行于驱动背板10方向上,等腰三角形的底边的长度与凹槽310的侧壁的长度相同。且等腰三角形的定点到底边的距离即凹陷部50的凹陷深度H为1μm至3μm。
相较于凹陷部50的正投影为矩形或梯形,凹陷部50的正投影为三角形时,凹陷部50在承载面上的正投影的面积更大,能让更多的光线在凹陷部50的表面处反射。
上述实现方式中,凹槽上除了凹陷部的外轮廓在承载面上的正投影与发光单元21在承载面上的正投影重合。即凹槽上除了凹陷部的外轮廓在承载面上的正投影与像素限定层23的开口限定的范围相同。
在其他一些实现方式中,如图30所示,凹槽310在承载面上的正投影的外 轮廓位于发光单元21在承载面上的正投影外。其中,凹槽310的宽度K大于像素限定层的开口长度。
在另外一些实现方式中,如图31所示,部分凹槽310的侧壁设有凹陷部50,另外一部分凹槽310的侧壁没有设置凹陷部50。在设置足量凹陷部,让更多的光线在凹陷部50的表面处反射,提升发光单元21的正面出光率的前提下,可以在部分凹槽中不设置凹陷部,防止各发光单元之间出现混光的问题。
图32是本公开实施例提供的一种显示面板的截面示意图。如图32所示,显示面板还包括触控层60和封装层22,封装层22和触控层60依次层叠在发光功能层20和光取出层30之间,且第一子层31和第二子层32依次层叠在触控层60上。
在本公开的一些实现方式中,触控层60包括多个触控单元和多根触控线,多个触控单元阵列排布于封装层22上,多根触控线位于封装层22上,触控线与至少一个触控单元相连,且触控线用于将所连接的触控单元与触控集成电路电连接。
示例性地,触控单元可以是透明导电层,例如,透明导电层可以是ITO(Indium tin oxide,氧化铟锡)层和IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锌)层。
示例性地,触控单元可以是金属网状结构。其中,金属网状结构由金属丝交织形成且呈网络状。该种结构的触控单元为FMLOC(Flexible Multi-Layer On Cell,触控显示一体化)技术中的触摸层的触控单元。
由于金属网状结构是金属丝,为避免金属网状结构遮挡发光单元21的发出的光线,金属网状结构可以采用围绕发光单元21的方式分布,以保证显示基板的显示效果。
图33是本公开实施例提供了一种显示面板的制备方法的流程图,如图33所示,该制备方法包括:
步骤S1:提供驱动背板。
其中,驱动背板可以包括衬底基板和多个驱动电路,多个驱动电路阵列排布于衬底基板上。
本公开实施例中,驱动背板可以为TFT基板,驱动背板上的每个驱动电路 至少包括2个TFT。
步骤S2:在驱动背板的承载面上形成发光功能层。
其中,发光功能层包括阵列布置的多个发光单元。
可选地,在步骤S3之前还可以包括:在发光功能层上形成封装层,然后在封装层上形成触控层。
步骤S3:在发光功能层上形成光取出层。
在前述步骤中如形成有触控层,则步骤S3中形成的光取出层位于触控层上。
如图2所示,光取出层30包括第一子层31和第二子层32,第一子层31和第二子层32依次层叠在发光功能层20上,第一子层31的折射率低于第二子层32的折射率,第一子层31具有多个凹槽310,一个凹槽310与一个发光单元21相对,第二子层32的部分位于凹槽310内。
其中,凹槽310在承载面上的正投影的外轮廓的至少部分,位于对应的发光单元21在承载面上的正投影内。
本公开实施例中,凹槽的侧壁可以具有凸起,凸起在驱动背板的衬底基板上的正投影位于发光单元在驱动背板的衬底基板上的正投影内。
其中,凸起布置数量、形状,以及凸起与凹槽的位置关系可以参见前述图1至图11示意的实施例。
本公开实施例提供了一种显示装置,该显示装置包括如前文的显示面板和供电组件,供电组件与显示面板电连接。其中,供电组件可以是电源等。
该显示装置可以为手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
以上,并非对本公开作任何形式上的限制,虽然本公开已通过实施例揭露如上,然而并非用以限定本公开,任何熟悉本专业的技术人员,在不脱离本公开技术方案范围内,当可利用上述揭示的技术内容作出些许更动或修饰为等同变化的等效实施例,但凡是未脱离本公开技术方案的内容,依据本公开的技术实质对以上实施例所作的任何简单修改、等同变化与修饰,均仍属于本公开技术方案的范围内。
