具体实施方式
为了使本公开的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本公开作进一步地详细描述。
相关技术中,驱动电路中的至少一个电路结构包括显示面板中第一金属层中的第一金属图案和第二金属层中的第二金属图案。其中,第一金属层和第二金属层之间具有一绝缘层,第一金属图案和第二金属图案通过该绝缘层中的过孔搭接。为了降低显示面板的电压降(loading),通常可以使得VSS走线与阴极层之间通过显示面板中位于阳极层的转接结构搭接。其中,位于阳极层的转接结构和电路结构的第二金属图案之间具有另一绝缘层,以将转接结构和信号线绝缘。
但是,由于第一金属图案和第二金属图案的搭接位置的另一绝缘层容易被过刻,因此可能导致转接结构与电路结构短接,显示面板的良率较低。
相关技术,显示面板包括衬底基板,位于衬底基板的周边区域的电路结构和转接结构,以及位于衬底基板上的第一绝缘层和第二绝缘层。其中,电路结构包括的第一电路图案(第一电路图案位于第一金属层)和第二电路图案(第二电路图案位于第二金属层)分别位于第一绝缘层的两侧,且通过第一绝缘层中的过孔电连接。第二绝缘层位于第二金属层和转接结构之间,用于将电路结构和转接结构绝缘。
通常情况下,显示面板还包括位于衬底基板的显示区域的第三金属层。该第三金属层位于第二绝缘层和转接结构之间。制备该第三金属层的过程包括:在第二绝缘层远离衬底基板的一侧形成第三金属薄膜,在第三金属薄膜远离衬底基板的一侧涂覆光刻胶,采用掩膜板对光刻胶进行曝光,对曝光后的光刻胶进行显影,采用刻蚀液对未被光刻胶保护的第三金属薄膜进行刻蚀,去除剩余光刻胶,进而得到第三金属层。
由于最终制备得到的第三金属层不位于周边区域,因此第三金属薄膜位于周边区域的部分需要经过刻蚀液的刻蚀。而由于周边区域设计有电路结构(电路结构的第一金属图案和第二金属图案通过第一绝缘层的过孔电连接),因此刻蚀第三金属薄膜时,容易导致刻蚀液聚集在过孔的位置,导致第二绝缘层位于过孔处的部分被过刻(第二绝缘层的厚度通常较薄,容易被刻蚀液刻透)。进一步的,若第二绝缘层位于过孔处的部分被过刻,则会导致第二绝缘层失去绝缘电路结构和转接结构的效果,进而导致转接结构与电路结构中的第二电路图案直接接触而短接,显示面板的良率较低。
图1是本申请实施例提供的一种显示面板的结构示意图。图2是本申请实施例提供的一种显示面板在周边区域的局部截面图。参考图1,该显示面板10可以包括:衬底基板101,多个像素单元102,阻挡结构103,转接结构104,第一绝缘层105,电路结构106,第二绝缘层107以及位于第二绝缘层107远离衬底基板101的一侧的第三绝缘层108。其中,图2可以为图1沿AA方向的截面图。
图3是本申请实施例提供的一种衬底基板的结构示意图。参考图3,衬底基板101可以具有显示区域101a以及围绕该显示区域101a的周边区域101b。结 合图1至图3,该多个像素单元102位于显示区域101a,阻挡结构103,转接结构104和电路结构106均位于周边区域101b。
在本申请实施例中,参考图4,像素单元102包括发光单元1021。该发光单元1021包括依次层叠的第一电极层a1,发光层a2以及第二电极层a3。例如第一电极层a1为阳极层,第二电极层a3为阴极层。
结合图1至图3,阻挡结构103可以围绕多个像素单元102。该转接结构104与第一电极层a1位于同层且具有间隙,且转接结构104与第二电极层a3电连接。也即是,转接结构104与第一电极层a1采用相同材料并由同一次构图工艺制备得到。转接结构104和第二电极层a3所传输的信号为相同信号。
参考图2,电路结构106位于周边区域101b,且电路结构106包括第一电路结构106a,该第一电路结构106a包括第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22。其中,第一电路子图案b11位于第一金属层,第二电路子图案b22位于第二金属层,显示面板10包括的第一绝缘层105位于第一金属层和第二金属层之间。该第一绝缘层105位于周边区域101b的部分具有过孔(过孔包括第一过孔c1),第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22通过第一过孔c1电连接。第二绝缘层107位于第二金属层远离衬底基板101的一侧,用于将第二金属层中的第二电路子图案b22和与第一电极层a1位于同层的转接结构104绝缘。
在本申请实施例中,第三绝缘层108包括位于显示区域101a和周边区域101b的主体图案1081,该主体图案1081包括位于周边区域101b的第三侧面1081a。第三侧面1081a在衬底基板101上的正投影位于阻挡结构103在衬底基板101上的正投影内。并且,主体图案1081位于周边区域101b的部分在第三侧面1081a靠近显示区域101a的一侧为连续性图案。
由于第三绝缘层108的主体图案1081位于周边区域101b的部分在第三侧面1081a靠近显示区域101a的一侧为连续性图案,且主体图案1081的第三侧面1081a位于阻挡结构103在衬底基板101上的正投影内,因此主体图案1081在衬底基板101上的正投影可以覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影,进而可以使得主体图案1081对第一过孔c1的位置起到保护作用。进一步的,即使第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,也不会导致转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22短接,保证了显示面板10的良率。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板包括衬底基板, 多个像素单元,阻挡结构,转接结构,第一绝缘层,电路结构,第二绝缘层以及第三绝缘层。其中,第一绝缘层位于第一电路结构的第一电路子图案和第二电路子图案之间,且具有第一过孔,第一电路子图案和第二电路子图案通过第一过孔电连接。由于第三绝缘层在衬底基板上的正投影覆盖第一过孔在衬底基板上的正投影,因此即使第一过孔处的第二绝缘层被过刻,也不会导致转接结构和第一电路结构的第二电路子图案短接,保证了显示面板的良率。
可选的,第三绝缘层108的主体图案1081位于周边区域101b的部分在第三侧面1081a靠近显示区域101a的一侧为连续性图案可以用于表示:主体图案1081位于周边区域101b的左右两侧区域(如下文所描述的第二区域101b2和第四区域101b4)的部分在第三侧面1081a靠近显示区域101a的一侧为连续性图案。
在本申请实施例中,参考图1,阻挡结构103可以为环绕多个像素单元102的环状结构,用于阻挡显示面板10中位于该阻挡结构103围成的区域内的有机层溢流。该阻挡结构103包括第一阻挡坝1031和第二阻挡坝1032。第一阻挡坝1031相对于第二阻挡坝1032靠近多个像素单元102,且第一阻挡坝1031的厚度小于第二阻挡坝1032的厚度。
通过设置两个阻挡坝,且远离多个像素单元102的第二阻挡坝1032的厚度大于靠近多个像素单元102的第一阻挡坝1031的厚度,可以进一步防止位于该阻挡结构103围成的区域内的有机层溢流。当然,该阻挡结构103还可以包括一个阻挡坝,或两个以上的阻挡坝,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
参考图1,第一阻挡坝1031和第二阻挡坝1032在衬底基板101上的正投影均可以为环形。其中,该第一阻挡坝1031相对于该第二阻挡坝1032靠近该多个像素单元102可以用于表示:该第一阻挡坝1031围成的区域位于第二阻挡坝1032围成的区域内。
在本申请实施例中,转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影远离显示区域101a的边缘相对于阻挡结构103在衬底基板101上的正投影远离显示区域101a的边缘更靠近显示区域101a。其中,阻挡结构103在衬底基板101上的正投影远离显示区域101a的边缘可以是指第二阻挡坝1032在衬底基板101上的正投影远离显示区域101a的边缘。
参考图2,电路结构106包括的第一电路结构106a可以位于第一阻挡坝1031 和显示区域101a之间。并且,电路结构106还包括位于第一阻挡坝1031和第二阻挡坝1032之间的第二电路结构106b。第二电路结构106b包括第三电路子图案b33和第四电路子图案b44,第一绝缘层105的过孔包括第二过孔c2,第三电路子图案b33和第四电路子图案b44通过第二过孔c2电连接。
在本申请实施例中,第一电路结构106a可以为显示面板10中的阵列基板行驱动(gate driver on array,GOA)电路中的相关结构。第二电路结构106b可以为显示面板中为GOA电路提供相关信号的信号输入电路中的相关结构。
作为一种可选的实现方式,参考图1至图3,转接结构104可以包括相对的第一侧面104a和第二侧面104b,第一侧面104a相对于第二侧面104b更靠近多个像素单元102。第二侧面104b在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第一阻挡坝1031在衬底基板101上的正投影内,且转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影与第二阻挡坝1032在衬底基板101上的正投影不重叠。也即是,转接结构104可以位于第一阻挡坝1031和显示区域101a之间的区域,而不位于第一阻挡坝1031和第二阻挡坝1032之间的区域。
在该实现方式中,由于转接结构104的第二侧面104b(边界)在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第一阻挡坝1031在衬底基板101上的正投影内,因此转接结构104与第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22会存在短接风险,而与第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44不会存在短接风险。
由此,由于本申请实施例中的第三绝缘层108的主体图案1081在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二电路子图案b22在衬底基板101上的正投影(即将第三绝缘层108延长至第一阻挡坝1031),因此可以使得转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22之间除了第二绝缘层107之外,还具有第三绝缘层108。该第三绝缘层108可以起到将转接结构104和第二电路子图案b22绝缘的作用。由此,即使该第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107过刻(如由于第二绝缘层107过刻而导致暴露出第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22),由于该第三绝缘层108可覆盖第二绝缘层107过刻的区域,因此可以避免转接结构104和第二电路子图案b22短接,保证显示面板10的良率。
作为另一种可选的实现方式,参考图5,转接结构104可以包括相对的第一侧面104a和第二侧面104b,第一侧面104a相对于第二侧面104b更靠近多个像素单元102。第二侧面104b在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第二阻挡坝1032在 衬底基板101上的正投影内,且转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影与第一阻挡坝1031在衬底基板101上的正投影重叠。也即是,转接结构104可以位于第一阻挡坝1031和显示区域101a之间的区域,也位于第一阻挡坝1031和第二阻挡坝1032之间的区域。
并且,参考图5,第三绝缘层108包括的主体图案1081的第三侧面1081a在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第一阻挡坝1031在衬底基板101上的正投影内,因此第三绝缘层的主体图案1081可以对第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22起到保护作用,而无法对第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44起到保护作用。
由此,在该实现方式中,由于转接结构104的第二侧面104b(边界)在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第二阻挡坝1032在衬底基板101上的正投影内,因此转接结构104与第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44会存在短接风险。由此,为了避免转接结构104与第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44短接,显示面板10还可以包括:位于衬底基板101上的保护层M,保护层M包括多个保护图案。保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。
其中,保护层M可以位于第一金属层和衬底基板101之间,或者保护层M可以位于第二绝缘层107远离衬底基板101的一侧。由此,通过设计保护层M,要么可以避免第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,要么即使第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,也不会导致转接结构104和第二电路结构106b的第四电路图案b44短接,保证了显示面板10的良率。
在本申请实施例中,保护层M可以具有以下几种可选的实现方式:
方案一,参考图5,保护层M包括的多个保护图案位于第三绝缘层108。也即是,保护层M的多个保护图案可以与第三绝缘层108的主体图案1081采用相同材料并由同一次构图工艺制备得到。例如,图5中,第三绝缘层108包括的第四绝缘图案1083即为保护图案。
也即是,在位于第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107的上方设计有第四绝缘图案1083,该第四绝缘图案1083可以起到将转接结构104和第四电路子图案b44绝缘的作用。由此,即使第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107过刻(如由于第二绝缘层107过刻而导致暴露出第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44),由于 该第三绝缘层108的第四绝缘图案1083可覆盖第二绝缘层107过刻的区域,因此可以避免转接结构104和第四电路子图案b44短接,保证显示面板10的良率。
方案二,参考图6,保护层M为位于第二绝缘层107远离衬底基板101的一侧的第三金属层109。第三金属层109包括的多个金属图案1091为保护图案。金属图案1091在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。
其中,第三金属层109可以为显示面板的第二源漏极层。通常情况下,第三金属层109不位于周边区域101b,因此采用刻蚀液刻蚀用于形成第三金属层109的第三金属薄膜时,需将第三金属薄膜位于周边区域101b的部分刻蚀掉。但是,刻蚀第三金属薄膜的过程中,容易导致刻蚀液聚集在过孔(第一过孔c1或第二过孔c2)的位置,导致第二绝缘层107位于过孔处的部分被过刻。
本申请实施例的方案中,通过使得第三绝缘层108的主体图案1081覆盖第一过孔c1,实现对第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22的保护,避免转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22短接。并且,保留第三金属层109位于第二过孔c2的金属图案1091,由此可以在刻蚀第三金属薄膜时,无需将位于第二过孔c2内的第三金属薄膜刻蚀掉,进而不会导致刻蚀液聚集在第二过孔c2内,避免位于第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107过刻。进一步的可以避免转接结构104和第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44短接。由此,第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2均没有短接风险,保证显示面板的良率。
在本申请实施例中,由于第三金属层109中的金属图案1091具有导电能力,因此可以通过设计信号线与金属图案1091连接,以为金属图案1091提供一固定电压。当然,由于设计信号线会导致显示面板中的走线较多,版图设计较困难,因此也可以直接使得金属图案1091为浮动(floating)图案,无需为金属图案1091提供固定电压。
方案三,参考图7,保护层M为位于衬底基板101和第一金属层之间的有源层110。有源层110包括的多个有源图案1101即为保护图案。有源图案1101在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。
本申请实施例的方案中,通过使得第三绝缘层108的主体图案1081覆盖第一过孔c1,实现对第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22的保护,避免转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22短接。并且,由于有源层 110位于第一金属层靠近衬底基板101的一侧,因此通过在第二过孔c2处设计有源图案,可以使得位于有源图案1101远离衬底基板101的一侧的第三电路子图案b33和第四电路子图案b44的距离均较近,进而可以使得第一绝缘层105位于第三电路子图案b33和第四电路子图案b44的厚度较薄。由此,可以减小第一绝缘层105中设计的第二过孔c2的深度。由于第一绝缘层105中的第二过孔c2的深度较小,因此可以减小刻蚀液的聚集程度,降低位于第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107被过刻的概率,进而避免转接结构104和第四电路子结构短接。也即是,第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2均没有短接风险,保证显示面板的良率。
需要说明的是,在该方案三中,第一绝缘层105可以包括第一子绝缘层1051和第二子绝缘层1052。第一子绝缘层1051位于有源层和第一金属层之间,第二绝缘层1052位于第一金属层和第二金属层之间。
方案四,参考图8,保护层M为位于衬底基板101和第一金属层之间的遮光层111。遮光层111包括的多个遮光图案1111即为保护图案。遮光图案1111在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。
本申请实施例的方案中,通过使得第三绝缘层108的主体图案1081覆盖第一过孔c1,实现对第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22的保护,避免转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22短接。并且,由于遮光层111位于第一金属层靠近衬底基板101的一侧,因此通过在第二过孔c2处设计遮光图案1111,可以使得位于遮光图案1111远离衬底基板101的一侧的第三电路子图案b33和第四电路子图案b44的距离均较近,进而可以使得第一绝缘层105位于第三电路子图案b33和第四电路子图案b44的厚度较薄。由此,可以减小第一绝缘层105中设计的第二过孔c2的深度。由于第一绝缘层105中的第二过孔c2的深度较小,因此可以减小刻蚀液的聚集程度,降低位于第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107被过刻的概率,进而避免转接结构104和第四电路子结构短接。也即是,第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2均没有短接风险,保证显示面板的良率。
需要说明的是,在该方案四中,第一绝缘层105可以包括第一子绝缘层1051,第二子绝缘层1052以及第三子绝缘层1053。第一子绝缘层1051位于衬底基板101和遮光层111之间,第二子绝缘层1052位于遮光层111和第一金属层之间,第三子绝缘层1053位于第一金属层和第二金属层之间。
在上述几种方案中,保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积,减去第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积的差值的范围为1μm2(平方微米)至50μm2。通过使得保护图案稍大于第二过孔c2,可以避免转接结构104和第四电路子图案b44短接。
另外,为了降低制备保护层M所采用的掩膜板的制备难度,需降低保护图案的设置密度。例如,可以使得多个第二过孔c2对应一个保护图案(即每个保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖多个第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影,保护图案的数量少于第二过孔c2的数量)。可选的,保护图案的形状可以基于第二过孔c2的设计调整为长条形或其他形状,本申请实施例对保护图案的形状不做限定。
可选的,多个第二过孔c2中包括多个目标第二过孔,多个目标第二过孔在衬底基板101上的正投影被同一保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖。如果多个目标第二过孔中任一目标第二过孔与另一目标第二过孔之间的间隙小于4μm(微米),则可认为这两个目标第二过孔之间的间隙较小,可以通过一个保护图案覆盖。
除了上述设计保护层M的方式之外,为了避免转接结构104与第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44短接,参考图9,可以使得转接结构104包括多个开口d1。开口d1在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。
由于转接结构104在第二过孔c2处设计开口d1,因此即使该第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107过刻(如由于第二绝缘层107过刻而导致暴露出第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44),也不会导致转接结构104与第四电路子图案b44短接,保证显示面板10的良率。
可选的,开口d1在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积,减去第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积的差值的范围为1μm2至50μm2。通过使得开口d1稍大于第二过孔c2,可以进一步确保转接结构104和第四电路子图案b44不会短接。
另外,显示面板10中第二过孔c2的孔密度和显示面板10中为GOA电路提供相关信号的信号输入电路的具体设计相关。如果第二过孔c2的孔密度较小,则即使每个第二过孔c2对应有一个开口(即每个开口在衬底基板101上的正投 影覆盖一个第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影,开口的数量和第二过孔c2的数量相同),也不会使得开口的设置密度太大。此种情况下,制备该转接结构104所采用的掩膜板的制备难度不会太大。但是,如果第二过孔c2的孔密度较大,则若每个第二过孔c2对应一个开口,则会导致开口的设置密度太大,制备该转接结构104所采用的掩膜板的制备难度较高。此种情况下,为了降低开口的设置密度,可以使得多个第二过孔c2对应一个开口d1(即每个开口d1在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖多个第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影,开口的数量少于第二过孔c2的数量)。可选的,开口d1的形状可以基于第二过孔c2的设计调整为长条形或其他形状,本申请实施例对开口d1的形状不做限定。
可选的,多个第二过孔c2中包括多个目标第二过孔,多个目标第二过孔在衬底基板101上的正投影被同一开口在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖。如果多个目标第二过孔中任一目标第二过孔与另一目标第二过孔之间的间隙小于4μm(微米),则可认为这两个目标第二过孔之间的间隙较小,可以通过一个开口d1覆盖。
在本申请实施例中,参考图2,以及图5至图9,显示面板10中的第三绝缘层108还包括:第一绝缘图案1082。并且,显示面板10还包括位于第三绝缘层108远离衬底基板101的一侧的第四绝缘层112。第四绝缘层112包括第二绝缘图案1121和第三绝缘图案1122。
其中,第一阻挡坝1031至少包括第二绝缘图案1121,第二阻挡坝1032至少包括沿远离衬底基板101的方向层叠设置的第一绝缘图案1082和第三绝缘图案1122。也即是,第二阻挡坝1032的相对于第一阻挡坝1031多设置了一层位于第三绝缘层108的图案,从而使得第二阻挡坝1032的厚度大于第一阻挡坝1031的厚度,防止有机层溢流。
另外,显示面板10还包括位于第四绝缘层112远离衬底基板101的一侧的第五绝缘层113和第六绝缘层114。第五绝缘层113包括第五绝缘图案1131和第六绝缘图案1132,第六绝缘层114包括第七绝缘图案1141和第八绝缘图案1142。第一阻挡坝1031还包括第五绝缘图案1131和第七绝缘图案1141,第二阻挡坝1032还包括第六绝缘图案1132和第八绝缘图案1142。
在本申请实施例中,每个绝缘层包括的多个图案包括相同材料,并由同一 次构图工艺制得。例如,第四绝缘层112中的第二绝缘图案1121和第三绝缘图案1122可以包括相同材料,并由同一次构图工艺制得。第五绝缘层113中的第五绝缘图案1131和第六绝缘图案1132可以包括相同材料,并由同一次构图工艺制得。第六绝缘层114中的第七绝缘图案1141和第八绝缘图案1142可以包括相同材料,并由同一次构图工艺制得。
其中,该第三绝缘层108可以为第一平坦层(planarization,PLN),第四绝缘层112可以为第二平坦层,第五绝缘层113可以为像素界定层(pixel definition layer,PDL),第六绝缘层114可以为支撑层(photo spacer,PS)。
可选的,制成该第一平坦层108,第二平坦层112,像素界定层113,以及支撑层114的材料可以包括:树脂等有机材料。本申请实施例对此不做限定。

其中,该第一电源线115的第二部分1152为多个像素单元102的第二电极层a3提供的第一电源信号可以为负极电源信号,因此该第一电源线115也可以称为VSS电源线或者VSS走线。其中,该第二电极层a3可以为阴极层。该第一电源线115的材料可以包括金属材料,用于传输第一电源信号。
在本申请实施例中,参考图3,该周边区域101b可以包括:相对且平行排布的第一区域101b1和第二区域101b2,以及相对且平行排布的第三区域101b3和第四区域101b4。该第一区域101b1的延伸方向垂直于第三区域101b3的延伸方向。
可选的,该第一区域101b1可以为显示区域101a下侧的区域,该第二区域101b2可以为显示区域101a上侧的区域,该第三区域101b3可以为显示区域101a左侧的区域,该第四区域101b4可以为显示区域101a右侧的区域。
其中,参考图1,第一电源线115的第一部分1151可以位于第一区域101b1,第二部分1152可以位于第二区域101b2,第三区域101b3和第四区域101b4。 也即是,该第一电源线115的第二部分1152可以围绕显示区域101a的三条边。当然,该第二部分1152也可以围绕显示区域101a的两条边或者四条边,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
在本申请实施例中,阻挡结构103中供电源线穿过的部分可以称为进线口(port口),如供第一电源线115穿过的部分可以称为第一进线口10a。参考图1,第一电源线115可以包括两个第一部分1151,由此,两个第一部分1151可以分别穿过阻挡结构103,阻挡结构103中可以具有供该两个第一部分1151穿过的两个第一进线口10a。
并且,两个第一部分1151可以以衬底基板101的轴线为轴对称设置。例如,两个第一部分1151可以位于衬底基板101的两侧。其中,衬底基板101的轴线可以平行于多个像素单元102的列方向。
可选的,两个第一部分1151位于衬底基板101的两侧可以是指:对于与第三区域101b3位于轴线同一侧的一个第一部分1151,该第一部分1151和第三区域101b3之间的距离,小于该第一部分1151与轴线之间的距离;对于与第四区域101b4位于轴线同一侧的另一个第一部分1151,该第一部分1151和第四区域101b4之间的距离,小于该第一部分1151与轴线之间的距离。
参考图1还可以看出,该第一电源线115还可以包括一个第二部分1152。该第二部分1152的一端可以与一个第一部分1151连接,第二部分1152的另一端可以与另一个第一部分1151连接。可选的,两个第一部分1151和一个第二部分1152可以为一体结构,且该第一电源线115的第二部分1152可以为非封闭结构。
参考图1,该显示面板10还可以包括:位于周边区域101b的至少一条第二电源线116。该至少一条第二电源线116的一端可以位于阻挡结构103远离多个像素单元102的一侧,用于接收第二电源信号,另一端可以位于阻挡结构103靠近多个像素单元102的一侧,且与多个像素单元102电连接,从而可以使得第二电源线116为多个像素单元102提供第二电源信号。可选的,每条第二电源线116可以位于周边区域101b的第一区域101b1。
可选的,该至少一条第二电源线116的另一端可以与多个像素单元102中的薄膜晶体管电连。例如,可以与像素单元102中薄膜晶体管的源极或者漏极连接。该第二电源线116为像素单元102中的薄膜晶体管提供的第二电源信号 可以为正极电源信号,因此该第二电源线116也可以称为VDD电源线或者VDD走线。
参考图1,每条第二电源线116的一端位于阻挡结构103围成的区域之外,另一端位于阻挡结构103围成的区域之内。即每条第二电源线116可以穿过阻挡结构103进入该阻挡结构103围成的区域内。其中,阻挡结构103中供第二电源线116穿过的部分可以称为第二进线口10b。
可选的,参考图1,该显示面板10可以包括:两条第二电源线116,其中该两条第二电源线116可以以衬底基板101的轴线为轴对称设置。由此,通过两个第二电源线116传输第二电源信号相对于仅通过一个第二电源线116传输第二电源信号,可以提高各个像素单元102接收到的第二电源信号的可靠性。

在本申请实施例中,参考图10,该显示面板10还可以包括:封装膜层120。该封装膜层120可以位于多个像素单元102远离衬底基板101的一侧,该封装膜层120覆盖阻挡结构103围成的区域。参考图10,该封装膜层120覆盖的区域的边界可以位于阻挡结构103远离多个像素单元102的一侧。
在本申请实施例中,封装膜层120可以包括:沿远离衬底基板101的方向层叠设置的第一膜层1201,第二膜层1202以及第三膜层1203。
可选的,该第一膜层1201和该第三膜层1203可以由无机材料制成,该第二膜层1202可以由有机材料制成。例如,该第一膜层1201和该第三膜层1203可以由SiNx(氮化硅)、SiOx(氧化硅)和SiOxNy(氮氧化硅)等一种或多种 无机氧化物制成。第二膜层1202可以由树脂材料制成。该树脂可以为热塑性树脂或热塑性树脂,热塑性树脂可以包括亚克力(PMMA)树脂,热固性树脂可以包括环氧树脂。

综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板包括衬底基板,多个像素单元,阻挡结构,转接结构,第一绝缘层,电路结构,第二绝缘层以及保护层。其中,第一绝缘层位于电路结构的第一电路图案和第二电路图案之间,且具有过孔,第一电路图案和第二电路图案通过过孔电连接。转接结构在衬底基板上的正投影与过孔在衬底基板上的正投影不重叠。和/或,保护层在衬底基板上的正投影覆盖过孔在衬底基板上的正投影。由此,可以避免过孔处的第二绝缘层被过刻,或者,即使过孔处的第二绝缘层被过刻,也不会导致转接结构和电路结构的第二电路图案短接,保证了显示面板的良率。
图15是本申请实施例提供的再一种显示面板在周边区域的局部截面图。参考图15,该显示面板10包括:衬底基板101,多个像素单元(图15中未示出,可参考图1),阻挡结构103,转接结构104,第一绝缘层105,电路结构106,第二绝缘层107,第三绝缘层108以及保护层M。
结合图1,图3以及图15,该多个像素单元102位于显示区域101a,阻挡结构103,转接结构104和电路结构106均位于周边区域101b。
参考图4,像素单元102包括发光单元1021。该发光单元1021包括依次层叠的第一电极层a1,发光层a2以及第二电极层a3。例如第一电极层a1为阳极层,第二电极层a3为阴极层。
结合图1,图3以及图15,阻挡结构103可以围绕多个像素单元102。转接 结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影远离显示区域101a的边缘相对于阻挡结构103在衬底基板101上的正投影远离显示区域101a的边缘更靠近显示区域101a,该转接结构104与第一电极层a1位于同层且具有间隙,且转接结构104与第二电极层a3电连接。也即是,转接结构104与第一电极层a1采用相同材料并由同一次构图工艺制备得到。转接结构104和第二电极层a3所传输的信号为相同信号。
参考图15,电路结构106位于周边区域101b,且电路结构106包括第一电路结构106a,该第一电路结构106a包括第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22。其中,第一电路子图案b11位于第一金属层,第二电路子图案b22位于第二金属层,显示面板10包括的第一绝缘层105位于第一金属层和第二金属层之间。该第一绝缘层105位于周边区域101b的部分具有过孔(过孔包括第一过孔c1),第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22通过第一过孔c1电连接。第二绝缘层107位于第二金属层远离衬底基板101的一侧,用于将第二金属层中的第二电路子图案b22和与第一电极层a1位于同层的转接结构104绝缘。
在本申请实施例中,第三绝缘层108包括位于显示区域101a和周边区域101b的主体图案1081,该主体图案1081包括位于周边区域101b的第三侧面1081a。第三侧面1081a在衬底基板101上的正投影位于阻挡结构103和显示区域101a之间。也即是,主体图案1081在衬底基板101上的正投影与第一电路结构106a在衬底基板101上的正投影不重叠。
由此,为了避免转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22短接,可以使得保护层M包括的保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影。
其中,保护层M可以位于第一金属层和衬底基板101之间,或者保护层M可以位于第二绝缘层107远离衬底基板101的一侧。由此,要么可以避免第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,要么第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,也不会导致转接结构104和第一电路结构106的第二电路子图案b22短接,保证了显示面板10的良率。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板包括衬底基板,多个像素单元,阻挡结构,转接结构,第一绝缘层,电路结构,第二绝缘层,第三绝缘层以及保护层。其中,第一绝缘层位于第一电路结构的第一电路子图 案和第二电路子图案之间,且具有第一过孔,第一电路子图案和第二电路子图案通过第一过孔电连接。由于第三绝缘层在衬底基板上的正投影与第一过孔在衬底基板上的正投影不重叠,因此通过设计使得保护层的保护图案覆盖第一过孔,可以避免过孔处的第二绝缘层被过刻,或者,即使过孔处的第二绝缘层被过刻,也不会导致转接结构和第一电路结构的第二电路子图案短接,保证了显示面板的良率。
作为一种可选的实现方式,参考图15,转接结构104可以包括相对的第一侧面104a和第二侧面104b,第一侧面104a相对于第二侧面104b更靠近多个像素单元102。第二侧面104b在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第一阻挡坝1031在衬底基板101上的正投影内,且转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影与第二阻挡坝1032在衬底基板101上的正投影不重叠。也即是,转接结构104可以位于第一阻挡坝1031和显示区域101a之间的区域,而不位于第一阻挡坝1031和第二阻挡坝1032之间的区域。
在该实现方式中,由于转接结构104的第二侧面104b(边界)在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第一阻挡坝1031在衬底基板101上的正投影内,因此转接结构104与第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22会存在短接风险,而与第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44不会存在短接风险。
并且,由于本申请实施例中的保护层M的保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二电路子图案b22在衬底基板101上的正投影,因此可以避免转接结构104和第二电路子图案b22短接。
其中,保护层M可以位于第一金属层和衬底基板101之间,或者保护层M可以位于第二绝缘层107远离衬底基板101的一侧。由此,通过设计保护层M,要么可以避免第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,要么即使第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,也不会导致转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路图案b22短接,保证了显示面板10的良率。
在本申请实施例中,保护层M可以具有以下几种可选的实现方式:
方案一,参考图15,保护层M包括的多个保护图案位于第三绝缘层108。也即是,保护层M的多个保护图案可以与第三绝缘层108的主体图案1081采用相同材料并由同一次构图工艺制备得到。例如,图15中,第三绝缘层108包括的第九绝缘图案1084即为保护图案。
也即是,在位于第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107的上方设计有第九绝缘图案,该第九绝缘图案可以起到将转接结构104和第二电路子图案b22绝缘的作用。由此,即使第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107过刻(如由于第二绝缘层107过刻而导致暴露出第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22),由于该第三绝缘层108的第九绝缘图案1084可覆盖第二绝缘层107过刻的区域,因此可以避免转接结构104和第二电路子图案b22短接,保证显示面板10的良率。
方案二,参考图16,保护层M为位于第二绝缘层107远离衬底基板101的一侧的第三金属层109。第三金属层109包括的多个金属图案1091为保护图案。金属图案1091在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影。
其中,第三金属层109可以为显示面板的第二源漏极层。通常情况下,第三金属层109不位于周边区域101b,因此采用刻蚀液刻蚀用于形成第三金属层109的第三金属薄膜时,需将第三金属薄膜位于周边区域101b的部分刻蚀掉。但是,刻蚀第三金属薄膜的过程中,容易导致刻蚀液聚集在过孔(第一过孔c1或第二过孔c2)的位置,导致第二绝缘层107位于过孔处的部分被过刻。
本申请实施例的方案中,保留第三金属层109位于第一过孔c1的金属图案1091,由此可以在刻蚀第三金属薄膜时,无需将位于第一过孔c1内的第三金属薄膜刻蚀掉,进而不会导致刻蚀液聚集在第一过孔c1内,避免位于第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107过刻。进一步的可以避免转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22短接。并且,由于转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影与第二电路结构106b在衬底基板101上的正投影不重叠,因此转接结构104和第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44没有短接风险。由此,第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2均没有短接风险,保证显示面板10的良率。
在本申请实施例中,由于第三金属层109中的金属图案1091具有导电能力,因此可以通过设计信号线与金属图案1091连接,以为金属图案1091提供一固定电压。当然,由于设计信号线会导致显示面板中的走线较多,版图设计较困难,因此也可以直接使得金属图案1091为浮动(floating)图案,无需为金属图案1091提供固定电压。
方案三,参考图17,保护层M为位于衬底基板101和第一金属层之间的有源层110。有源层110包括的多个有源图案1101即为保护图案。有源图案1101 在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影。
本申请实施例的方案中,由于有源层110位于第一金属层靠近衬底基板101的一侧,因此通过在第一过孔c1处设计有源图案1101,可以使得位于有源图案1101远离衬底基板101的一侧的第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22的距离均较近,进而可以使得第一绝缘层105位于第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22的厚度较薄。由此,可以减小第一绝缘层105中设计的第一过孔c1的深度。由于第一绝缘层105中的第一过孔c1的深度较小,因此可以减小刻蚀液的聚集程度,降低位于第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107被过刻的概率,进而避免转接结构104和第二电路子结构22短接。并且,由于转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影与第二电路结构106b在衬底基板101上的正投影不重叠,因此转接结构104和第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44没有短接风险。由此,第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2均没有短接风险,保证显示面板的良率。
需要说明的是,在该方案二中,第一绝缘层105可以包括第一子绝缘层1051和第二子绝缘层1052。第一子绝缘层1051位于有源层和第一金属层之间,第二绝缘层1052位于第一金属层和第二金属层之间。
方案四,参考图18,保护层M为位于衬底基板101和第一金属层之间的遮光层111。遮光层111包括的多个遮光图案1111即为保护图案。遮光图案1111在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影。
本申请实施例的方案中,由于遮光层111位于第一金属层靠近衬底基板101的一侧,因此通过在第一过孔c1处设计遮光图案,可以使得位于遮光图案1111远离衬底基板101的一侧的第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22的距离均较近,进而可以使得第一绝缘层105位于第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22的厚度较薄。由此,可以减小第一绝缘层105中设计的第一过孔c1的深度。由于第一绝缘层105中的第一过孔c1的深度较小,因此可以减小刻蚀液的聚集程度,降低位于第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107被过刻的概率,进而避免转接结构104和第二电路子结构22短接。并且,由于转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影与第二电路结构106b在衬底基板101上的正投影不重叠,因此转接结构104和第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44没有短接风险。由此,第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2均没有短接风险,保证显示面板的良率。
需要说明的是,在该方案三中,第一绝缘层105可以包括第一子绝缘层1051, 第二子绝缘层1052以及第三子绝缘层1053。第一子绝缘层1051位于衬底基板101和遮光层111之间,第二子绝缘层1052位于遮光层111和第一金属层之间,第三子绝缘层1053位于第一金属层和第二金属层之间。
作为另一种可选的实现方式,参考图19,转接结构104可以包括相对的第一侧面104a和第二侧面104b,第一侧面104a相对于第二侧面104b更靠近多个像素单元102。第二侧面104b在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第二阻挡坝1032在衬底基板101上的正投影内,且转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影与第一阻挡坝1031在衬底基板101上的正投影重叠。也即是,转接结构104可以位于第一阻挡坝1031和显示区域101a之间的区域,也位于第一阻挡坝1031和第二阻挡坝1032之间的区域。
在该实现方式中,由于转接结构104的第二侧面104b(边界)在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第二阻挡坝1032在衬底基板101上的正投影内,因此转接结构104与第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22以及第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44均会存在短接风险。由此,为了避免转接结构104与第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22以及第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44短接,保护层M包括多个第一保护图案和多个第二保护图案。第一保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影,第二保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。
其中,保护层M可以位于第一金属层和衬底基板101之间,或者保护层M可以位于第二绝缘层107远离衬底基板101的一侧。由此,通过设计保护层M,要么可以避免第一过孔c1处和第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,要么即使第一过孔c1处和第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,也不会导致转接结构104和电路结构短接,保证了显示面板10的良率。
在本申请实施例中,保护层M可以具有以下几种可选的实现方式:
方案一,参考图19和图20,保护层M包括的多个保护图案位于第三绝缘层108。也即是,保护层M的多个保护图案可以与第三绝缘层108的主体图案1081采用相同材料并由同一次构图工艺制备得到。例如,图19中,第三绝缘层108包括的第九绝缘图案1084即为第一保护图案,第十绝缘图案1085即为第二保护图案。
也即是,在位于第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107的上方设计有第九绝缘图案,在位于第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107的上方设计有第十绝缘图案。该第九绝缘图案可以起到将转接结构104和第二电路子图案b22绝缘的作用,该第十绝缘图案可以起到将转接结构104和第四电路子图案b44绝缘的作用。由此,即使第一过孔c1处和第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107过刻(如由于第二绝缘层107过刻而导致暴露出第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22以及暴露出第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44),由于该第三绝缘层108的第九绝缘图案1083和第十绝缘图案1084可覆盖第二绝缘层107过刻的区域,因此可以避免转接结构104和第二电路子图案b22以及第四电路子图案b44短接,保证显示面板10的良率。
方案二,参考图21,保护层M为位于第二绝缘层107远离衬底基板101的一侧的第三金属层109。第三金属层109包括多个第一金属图案1091和多个第二金属图案1092,第一金属图案1091为第一保护图案,第二金属图案1092为第二保护图案。第一金属图案1091在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影,第二金属图案1092在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。
其中,第三金属层109可以为显示面板的第二源漏极层。通常情况下,第三金属层109不位于周边区域101b,因此采用刻蚀液刻蚀用于形成第三金属层109的第三金属薄膜时,需将第三金属薄膜位于周边区域101b的部分刻蚀掉。但是,刻蚀第三金属薄膜的过程中,容易导致刻蚀液聚集在过孔(第一过孔c1或第二过孔c2)的位置,导致第二绝缘层107位于过孔处的部分被过刻。
本申请实施例的方案中,保留第三金属层109位于第一过孔c1的第一金属图案1091以及位于第二过孔c2的第二金属图案1092,由此可以在刻蚀第三金属薄膜时,无需将位于第一过孔c1内和第二过孔c2内的第三金属薄膜刻蚀掉,进而不会导致刻蚀液聚集在第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2内,避免位于第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107过刻。进一步的可以避免转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22以及第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44短接。由此,第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2均没有短接风险,保证显示面板的良率。
方案三,参考图22,保护层M为位于衬底基板101的第一金属层之间的有 源层110。有源层110包括的多个第一有源图案1101即为第一保护图案,多个第二有源图案1102即为第二保护图案。第一有源图案1101在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影,第二有源图案1102在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。
本申请实施例的方案中,由于有源层110位于第一金属层靠近衬底基板101的一侧,因此通过在第一过孔c1处设计第一有源图案1101,在第二过孔c2处设计第二有源图案1102,可以使得位于第一有源图案1101远离衬底基板101的一侧的第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22的距离较近,且使得位于第二有源图案1102远离衬底基板101的一侧的第三电路子图案b33和第四电路子图案b44的距离较近,进而可以使得第一绝缘层105位于第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22的区域,以及位于第三电路子图案b33和第四电路子图案b44的区域的厚度较薄。由此,可以减小第一绝缘层105中设计的第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2的深度。由于第一绝缘层105中的第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2的深度较小,因此可以减小刻蚀液的聚集程度,降低位于第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107被过刻的概率,进而避免转接结构104和第二电路子结构b11以及第四电路子结构b44短接。也即是,第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2均没有短接风险,保证显示面板的良率。
需要说明的是,在该方案三中,第一绝缘层105可以包括第一子绝缘层1051和第二子绝缘层1052。第一子绝缘层1051位于有源层和第一金属层之间,第二绝缘层1052位于第一金属层和第二金属层之间。
方案四,参考图23,保护层M为位于衬底基板101和第一金属层之间的遮光层111。遮光层111包括的多个第一遮光图案1111即为第一保护图案,多个第二遮光图案1112即为第二保护图案。第一遮光图案1111在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影,第二遮光图案1112在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。
本申请实施例的方案中,由于遮光层111位于第一金属层靠近衬底基板101的一侧,因此通过在第一过孔c1处设计第一遮光图案1111,在第二过孔c2处设计第二遮光图案1112,可以使得位于第一遮光图案1111远离衬底基板101的一侧的第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22的距离较近,且使得位于第二遮光图案1112远离衬底基板101的一侧的第三电路子图案b33和第四电路子 图案b44的距离较近,进而可以使得第一绝缘层105位于第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22的区域,以及位于第三电路子图案b33和第四电路子图案b44的区域的厚度较薄。由此,可以减小第一绝缘层105中设计的第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2的深度。由于第一绝缘层105中的第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2的深度较小,因此可以减小刻蚀液的聚集程度,降低位于第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107被过刻的概率,进而避免转接结构104和第二电路子结构以及第四电路子结构短接。也即是,第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2均没有短接风险,保证显示面板的良率。
需要说明的是,在该方案四中,第一绝缘层105可以包括第一子绝缘层1051,第二子绝缘层1052以及第三子绝缘层1053。第一子绝缘层1051位于衬底基板101和遮光层111之间,第二子绝缘层1052位于遮光层111和第一金属层之间,第三子绝缘层1053位于第一金属层和第二金属层之间。
在本申请实施例中,第一保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积,减去第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积的差值的范围为1μm2至50μm2。通过使得第一保护图案稍大于第一过孔c1,可以避免转接结构104和第二电路子图案b22短接。第二保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积,减去第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积的差值的范围为1μm2至50μm2。通过使得第二保护图案稍大于第二过孔c2,可以避免转接结构104和第四电路子图案b44短接。
另外,为了降低制备保护层M所采用的掩膜板的制备难度,需降低保护图案的设置密度。例如,可以使得多个第一过孔c1对应一个第一保护图案,多个第二过孔c2对应一个第二保护图案(即每个第一保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖多个第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影,第一保护图案的数量少于第一过孔c1的数量;每个第二保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖多个第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影,第二保护图案的数量少于第二过孔c2的数量)。可选的,第一保护图案的形状可以基于第一过孔c1的设计调整,第二保护图案的形状可以基于第二过孔c2的设计调整,例如第一保护图案和第二保护图案设计为长条形或其他形状,本申请实施例对保护图案的形状不做限定。
可选的,多个第一过孔c1中包括多个目标第一过孔,多个目标第一过孔在 衬底基板101上的正投影被同一第一保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖。如果过多个目标第一过孔中任一目标第一过孔与另一目标第一过孔之间的间隙小于4μm,则可认为这两个目标第一过孔之间的间隙较小,可以通过一个第一保护图案覆盖。多个第二过孔c2中包括多个目标第二过孔,多个目标第二过孔在衬底基板101上的正投影被同一第二保护图案在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖。如果多个目标第二过孔中任一目标第二过孔与另一目标第二过孔之间的间隙小于4μm,则可认为这两个目标第二过孔之间的间隙较小,可以通过一个第二保护图案覆盖。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板包括衬底基板,多个像素单元,阻挡结构,转接结构,第一绝缘层,电路结构,第二绝缘层,第三绝缘层以及保护层。其中,第一绝缘层位于第一电路结构的第一电路子图案和第二电路子图案之间,且具有第一过孔,第一电路子图案和第二电路子图案通过第一过孔电连接。由于第三绝缘层在衬底基板上的正投影与第一过孔在衬底基板上的正投影不重叠,因此通过设计使得保护层的保护图案覆盖第一过孔,可以避免过孔处的第二绝缘层被过刻,或者,即使过孔处的第二绝缘层被过刻,也不会导致转接结构和第一电路结构的第二电路子图案短接,保证了显示面板的良率。
本申请实施例提供的显示面板中的其他相关描述可以与前面的实施例描述的显示面板的内容相同,因此,出于简洁的目的,此处不再赘述。
图24是本申请实施例提供的再一种显示面板在周边区域的局部截面图。参考图24,该显示面板10包括:衬底基板101,多个像素单元(图24中未示出,可参考图1),阻挡结构103,转接结构104,第一绝缘层105,电路结构106,第二绝缘层107,以及第三绝缘层108。
结合图1,图3以及图24,该多个像素单元102位于显示区域101a,阻挡结构103,转接结构104和电路结构106均位于周边区域101b。
参考图4,像素单元102包括发光单元1021。该发光单元1021包括依次层叠的第一电极层a1,发光层a2以及第二电极层a3。例如第一电极层a1为阳极层,第二电极层a3为阴极层。
结合图1,图3和图24,阻挡结构103可以围绕多个像素单元102。转接结 构104在衬底基板101上的正投影远离显示区域101a的边缘相对于阻挡结构103在衬底基板101上的正投影远离显示区域101a的边缘更靠近显示区域101a,该转接结构104与第一电极层a1位于同层且具有间隙,且转接结构104与第二电极层a3电连接。也即是,转接结构104与第一电极层a1采用相同材料并由同一次构图工艺制备得到。转接结构104和第二电极层a3所传输的信号为相同信号。
参考图24,电路结构106位于周边区域101b,且电路结构106包括第一电路结构106a,该第一电路结构106a包括第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22。其中,第一电路子图案b11位于第一金属层,第二电路子图案b22位于第二金属层,显示面板10包括的第一绝缘层105位于第一金属层和第二金属层之间。该第一绝缘层105位于周边区域101b的部分具有过孔(过孔包括第一过孔c1),第一电路子图案b11和第二电路子图案b22通过第一过孔c1电连接。第二绝缘层107位于第二金属层远离衬底基板101的一侧,用于将第二金属层中的第二电路子图案b22和与第一电极层a1位于同层的转接结构104绝缘。
在本申请实施例中,第三绝缘层108包括位于显示区域101a和周边区域101b的主体图案1081,该主体图案1081包括位于周边区域101b的第三侧面1081a。第三侧面1081a在衬底基板101上的正投影位于阻挡结构103和显示区域101a之间。也即是,主体图案1081在衬底基板101上的正投影与第一电路结构106a在衬底基板101上的正投影不重叠。
由此,为了避免转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22短接,可以使得转接结构104包括多个开口d1,开口d1在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影,即转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影与第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影不重叠。由此即使第一过孔处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,也不会导致转接结构104和第一电路结构106的第二电路子图案b22短接,保证了显示面板10的良率。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板包括衬底基板,多个像素单元,阻挡结构,转接结构,第一绝缘层,电路结构,第二绝缘层,第三绝缘层以及保护层。其中,第一绝缘层位于第一电路结构的第一电路子图案和第二电路子图案之间,且具有第一过孔,第一电路子图案和第二电路子图案通过第一过孔电连接。由于转接结构包括的开口在衬底基板上的正投影覆盖第一过孔在衬底基板上的正投影,因此即使第一过孔处的第二绝缘层107被过 刻,也不会导致转接结构和第一电路结构的第二电路子图案短接,保证了显示面板的良率。
作为一种可选的实现方式,参考图24,转接结构104可以包括相对的第一侧面104a和第二侧面104b,第一侧面104a相对于第二侧面104b更靠近多个像素单元102。第二侧面104b在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第一阻挡坝1031在衬底基板101上的正投影内,且转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影与第二阻挡坝1032在衬底基板101上的正投影不重叠。也即是,转接结构104可以位于第一阻挡坝1031和显示区域101a之间的区域,而不位于第一阻挡坝1031和第二阻挡坝1032之间的区域。
在该实现方式中,由于转接结构104的第二侧面104b(边界)在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第一阻挡坝1031在衬底基板101上的正投影内,因此转接结构104与第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22会存在短接风险,而与第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44不会存在短接风险。
并且,由于本申请实施例中的转接结构104的开口d1在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1,因此转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影和第二电路子结构b22在衬底基板上的正投影不重叠。由此,即使第一过孔c1处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,也不会导致转接结构104和第一电路结构106a的第二电路图案b22短接,保证了显示面板10的良率。
作为另一种可选的实现方式,参考图25至图27,转接结构104可以包括相对的第一侧面104a和第二侧面104b,第一侧面104a相对于第二侧面104b更靠近多个像素单元102。第二侧面104b在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第二阻挡坝1032在衬底基板101上的正投影内,且转接结构104在衬底基板101上的正投影与第一阻挡坝1031在衬底基板101上的正投影重叠。也即是,转接结构104可以位于第一阻挡坝1031和显示区域101a之间的区域,也位于第一阻挡坝1031和第二阻挡坝1032之间的区域。
在该实现方式中,由于转接结构104的第二侧面104b(边界)在衬底基板101上的正投影位于第二阻挡坝1032在衬底基板101上的正投影内,因此转接结构104与第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22以及第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44均会存在短接风险。由此,为了避免转接结构104与第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22以及第二电路结构106b的第四电路子 图案b44短接,可以使得转接结构104的开口包括第一开口d1和第二开口d2。第一开口d1在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影,第二开口d2在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。
参考图26至图27,转接结构104包括多个第一开口d1和多个第二开口d2。图26中以虚线为分界线,左侧的较小尺寸的开口为第二开口d2,右侧的较小尺寸的开口为第一开口d1。并且,转接结构104中的较大开口可以为排气孔。图27中未标注的两个大括号的位置为第三绝缘层108挖除的区域。可见,转接结构104中设计的多个第一开口d1和多个第三开口d2可以位于第三绝缘层108挖除的区域。
其中,第一开口d1在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影。第二开口d2在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影。由于转接结构104在第一过孔c1处具有第一开口d1,在第二过孔c2处具有第二开口d2,因此即使该第一过孔c1和第二过孔c2处的第二绝缘层107过刻(如由于第二绝缘层107过刻而导致暴露出第一电路结构106a的第二电路子图案b22和第二电路结构106b的第四电路子图案b44),也不会导致转接结构104与第二电路子图案b22以及第四电路子图案b44短接,保证显示面板10的良率。
可选的,第一开口d1在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积,减去第一过孔c1在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积的差值的范围为1μm2至50μm2。第二开口d2在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积,减去第二过孔c2在衬底基板101上的正投影的面积的差值的范围为1μm2至50μm2。
通过使得第一开口d1稍大于第一过孔c1,可以进一步确保转接结构104和第二电路子图案b22不会短接。并且,通过使得第二开口d2稍大于第二过孔c2,可以进一步确保转接结构104和第四电路子图案b44不会短接。
另外,显示面板10中第一过孔c1的孔密度以及第二过孔c2的孔密度和显示面板中GOA电路的具体设计相关。如果第一过孔c1或第二过孔c2的孔密度较小,则即使每个第一过孔c1对应有一个第一开口d1,每个第二过孔c2对应有一个第二开口d2,也不会使得第一开口d1或第二开口d2的设置密度太大。此种情况下,制备该转接结构104所采用的掩膜板的制备难度不会太大。但是, 如果第一过孔c1或第二过孔c2的孔密度较大,则若每个第一过孔c1或第二过孔c2对应一个开口,则会导致开口的设置密度太大,制备该转接结构104所采用的掩膜板的制备难度较高。此种情况下,为了降低开口的设置密度,可以使得多个第一过孔c1对应一个第一开口d1,多个第二过孔c2对应一个第二开口d2。可选的,第一开口d1的形状可以基于第一过孔c1的设计调整,第二开口d2的形状可以基于第二过孔c2的设计调整。例如调整为长条形或其他形状,本申请实施例对开口的形状不做限定。
可选的,多个第一过孔c1包括多个目标第一过孔,多个目标第一过孔在衬底基板101上的正投影被同一第一开口d1在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖。如果多个目标第一过孔中任一目标第一过孔与另一目标第一过孔之间的间隙小于4μm,则可认为这两个目标第一过孔之间的间隙较小,可以通过一个第一开口d1覆盖。相应的,多个第二过孔c2包括多个目标第二过孔,多个目标第二过孔在衬底基板101上的正投影被同一第二开口d2在衬底基板101上的正投影覆盖。如果多个目标第二过孔中任一目标第二过孔与另一目标第二过孔之间的间隙小于4μm,则可以认为这两个目标第一过孔之间的间隙较小,可以通过一个第二开口d3覆盖。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板包括衬底基板,多个像素单元,阻挡结构,转接结构,第一绝缘层,电路结构,第二绝缘层,第三绝缘层以及保护层。其中,第一绝缘层位于第一电路结构的第一电路子图案和第二电路子图案之间,且具有第一过孔,第一电路子图案和第二电路子图案通过第一过孔电连接。由于转接结构包括的开口在衬底基板上的正投影覆盖第一过孔在衬底基板上的正投影,因此即使第一过孔处的第二绝缘层107被过刻,也不会导致转接结构和第一电路结构的第二电路子图案短接,保证了显示面板的良率。

图28是本申请实施例提供的一种显示装置的结构示意图。参考图28,该显示装置包括供电组件20以及如上述实施例所提供的显示面板10。其中,供电组件20可以用于为显示面板10供电。
可选的,该显示装置可以为OLED显示装置、液晶显示装置、电子纸、手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框或导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
