  • the light 26 emitted by the light-emitting material layer 233 passes through the second sub-layer 232b and illuminates the contact surface between the second sub-layer 232b and the first sub-layer 232a. Since the contact surface between the second sub-layer 232b and the first sub-layer 232a is a total reflection surface, the light is reflected out of the display panel, thereby improving the light emission efficiency of the display panel.

  • the first sub-layer and the second sub-layer can form a contact surface, which can reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting material layer, improving light efficiency.
  • the distance between the first pixel opening and the second pixel opening is in the range of 2 to 4 micrometers, resulting in a smaller thickness through which light passes, thereby reducing light loss and preventing the second sub-layer from being too thin to form a total reflection surface.

  • the areas of the first pixel opening and the second pixel opening corresponding to different sub-pixels are different. It is understandable that, due to the different luminous efficiencies of different sub-pixels, when forming pixel openings corresponding to different sub-pixels, the areas of the pixel openings corresponding to different sub-pixels can be made different. For example, if the area of the blue sub-pixel is larger than the area of the green sub-pixel, then the area of the first blue pixel opening can be larger than the area of the first green pixel opening, and the area of the second blue pixel opening can be larger than the area of the second green pixel opening.

By setting the second sublayer to have the same angle as the first sublayer, breakage during subsequent film formation can be prevented, and an angle that is too small would prevent light reflection. This range of 20 to 60 degrees ensures high light emission efficiency for the display panel.

Description

显示面板和显示装置 技术领域
本申请涉及显示技术领域,尤其是涉及一种显示面板和显示装置。
背景技术
OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)显示器件由于具有轻巧、广视角、低功耗、响应速度快、耐低温、发光效率高,且能制备弯曲的柔性显示屏,被广泛应用在各个领域。OLED显示器件包括顶发射OLED显示器件和底发射OLED显示器件,顶发射OLED显示器件由于不受基板是否透光的影响,可有效提高OLED显示器件的开口率,有利于与晶体管背板集成,并能够窄化光谱和色纯度,被广泛应用于大小电子产品内。但顶发光OLED显示器件存在外量子效率(即光输出效率)较低的问题,经研究发现该问题是由于波导效应、基板效应、表面等离子体效应、吸收效应等影响造成,为了提高光取出效率,现有OLED显示器件中会设置微结构(micro lens array,MLA)叠层膜,具体会在触控层上方设置MLA结构,提高光取出效率。但在触控层上方设置MLA结构会导致OLED显示器件的厚度增大,且在OLED显示器件为动态弯折、瀑布屏以及四曲屏中的一种时,容易出现膜层剥离的风险。
所以,现有采用微结构叠层膜提高OLED显示器件的光去除效率的方法存在OLED显示器件的厚度较大,且容易出现膜层剥离的风险的技术问题。

本发明的实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
在本申请的描述中,需要理解的是,术语“中心”、“纵向”、“横向”、“长度”、“宽度”、“厚度”、“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“左”、“右”、“竖直”、“水平”、“顶”、“底”、“内”、“外”、“顺时针”、“逆时针”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系,仅是为了便于描述本申请和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本申请的限制。此外,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个所述特征。在本申请的描述中,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上,除非另有明确具体的限定。
在本申请的描述中,需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或一体地连接;可以是机械连接,也可以是电连接或可以相互通讯;可以是直接相连,也可以通过中间媒介间接相连,可以是两个元件内部的连通或两个元件的相互作用关系。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以根据具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。

如图1所示,现有OLED显示器件包括依次设置的驱动基板11、平坦化膜层12、像素定义膜层14、发光膜层13、封装膜层15和触控膜层16,为了提高OLED显示器件的出光效率,会通过在触控膜层16上设置微结构叠层膜,具体的,如图1所示,触控膜层16上设有第一光取出层17和第二光取出层18,通过使第一光取出层17的折射率小于第二光取出层18的折射率,使得光线能够正常出射,如图1所示,可以看到发光膜层13发出的内部光线19在照射到微结构叠层膜上被反射出OLED显示器件,从而提高了OLED显示器件的出光效率。可以理解的是,由于OLED显示器件是在触控膜层16上设置微结构叠层膜,会导致OLED显示器件的厚度增加,且在OLED显示器件为弯折显示器件时,如果应用在静态弯折屏上,出现膜层剥离的风险较低,但应用在动态弯折屏、瀑布屏、四曲屏等产品上时,会导致微结构叠层膜的剥离和断裂风险较高。所以,现有采用微结构叠层膜提高OLED显示器件的光去除效率的方法存在OLED显示器件的厚度较大,且容易出现膜层剥离的风险的技术问题。
本申请实施例针对上述技术问题,提供一种显示面板和显示装置,用以解决上述技术问题。
如图2所示,本申请实施例提供一种显示面板,该显示面板2包括:衬底21、驱动电路层22和发光功能层23,驱动电路层22设置于所述衬底21一侧;发光功能层23,设置于所述驱动电路层22远离所述衬底21的一侧,所述发光功能层23包括像素电极层231、发光材料层233和像素定义层232,所述像素电极层231设置于所述驱动电路层22远离所述衬底21的一侧,所述像素定义层232设置于所述像素电极层231远离所述驱动电路层22的一侧,所述发光材料层233设置于所述像素电极层231远离所述驱动电路层22的一侧;
其中,所述像素定义层232包括第一子层232a和第二子层232b,所述第一子层232a设置于所述像素电极层231远离所述驱动电路层22的一侧,所述第一子层232a包括第一像素开口311,所述第二子层232b设置于所述第一子层232a远离所述像素电极层231的一侧且延伸至所述第一像素开口311内,所述第二子层232b包括第二像素开口312,所述发光材料层233至少覆盖所述第二像素开口312,所述第二子层232b的折射率大于所述第一子层232a的折射率。
本申请实施例提供一种显示面板,该显示面板通过使像素定义层包括第一子层和第二子层,且使得第二子层延伸至第一像素开口内,第二子层的折射率大于第一子层的折射率,则第一子层和第二子层的接触面会形成全反射面,使得发光材料层发出的光线在照射到第一子层和第二子层的接触面时,会被反射出显示面板,提高显示面板的出光效率,且通过像素定义层形成微结构叠层膜,无需额外增加膜层,减小了显示面板的厚度,且像素定义层形成的微结构叠层膜更靠近发光材料层,相较于外设的微结构叠层膜可以提高光提取效率,且像素定义层可以采用高温制程,材料选择性较多,性能更加稳定,成本更低。
具体的,如图2所示,由于第二子层232b填充至第一像素开口311内,因此,图2中无法看出第一像素开口311,但可以理解的是,第一子层232a形成的第一像素开口311可以第一子层232a的边界为界线确定。同理,发光材料层233至少覆盖第二像素开口312,图2中无法看出第二像素开口312,第二子层232b形成的第二像素开口312可以第二子层232b的边界为界限确定。
具体的,如图2所示,可以看到发光材料层233发出的光线26在穿过第二子层232b后,照射到第二子层232b与第一子层232a的接触面时,由于第二子层232b和第一子层232a的接触面为全反射面,使得光线被反射出显示面板,提高显示面板的出光效率。
具体的,如图1、图2所示,由于本申请实施例通过像素定义层232形成微结构叠层膜,相较于现有OLED显示器件在触控层外新增多个膜层形成微结构叠层膜,本申请无需新增额外膜层,可以减小OLED显示器件的厚度,且由于像素定义层232设置在显示面板内,像素定义层与其他膜层之间出现剥离的风险降低,使得本申请实施例采用的第一子层和第二子层的结构可以应用在静态弯折屏、瀑布屏、动态弯折屏和四曲屏上,提高了产品形态适配率。
具体的,如图1、图2所示,可以看到,光线从发光材料层发出后会进行发散,因此,现有OLED显示器件中的微结构叠层膜仅能对部分光线进行提取,且对于向下或者大视角的角度,现有OLED显示器件中的微结构叠层膜无法捕捉也无法提取,而本申请实施例中是采用像素定义层形成微结构叠层膜,可以对角度向下的光线和大视角的光线进行提取,提高了的光提取效率,提高了显示面板的出光效率。
具体的,如图1、图2所示,相较于现有OLED显示器件是在形成发光材料后形成微结构叠层膜,因此,为了防止工艺对发光材料的影响,现有形成微结构叠层膜的工艺只能采用低温固化制程,导致材料开发难度较大,选择性较少,且稳定性较差、成本较高,而本申请实施例中的像素定义层是在形成发光材料层之前形成,因此,形成像素定义层的工艺不会对发光材料层产生影响,可以采用高温制程形成像素定义层,使得材料选择性更广、成本更低、性能更加稳定。
在一些实施例中,如图2所示,所述像素电极层231包括:多个阵列排布的像素电极231a,所述第一像素开口311对应相应的所述像素电极231a设置,所述第二像素开口312对应相应的所述第一像素开口311设置,所述第二像素开口312的面积小于所述第一像素开口311的面积。通过使像素电极对应第一像素开口设置,第二像素开口对应第一像素开口设置,且第二像素开口的面积小于第一像素开口的面积,则第一子层和第二子层能够形成接触面,使得第一子层和第二子层形成的接触面能够将发光材料层发出的光线反射出去,提高光线效率。
在一些实施例中,如图2、图3所示,所述第二像素开口312在所述衬底21上的投影位于所述第一像素开口311在所述衬底21上的投影内,所述第二像素开口312与所述第一像素开口311的间距L3的范围为2至4微米。通过使第二像素开口在衬底上的投影位于第一像素开口在衬底上的投影内,使得第一子层和第二子层能够形成接触面,使得第一子层和第二子层形成的接触面能够将发光材料层发出的光线反射出去,提高光线效率,且使得第一像素开口与第二像素开口的间距的范围为2至4微米,使得光线穿过的厚度较小,从而可以降低光线损失,且避免第二子层的厚度过小导致无法形成全反射面。
具体的,第一像素开口的宽度范围为5微米至100微米,第二像素开口的宽度范围为5微米至100微米。
具体的,第一像素开口与第二像素开口的间距为3微米。
具体的,考虑到像素开口的截面形状可能为梯形,第一像素开口的宽度以第一子层靠近像素电极层的一侧的开口的宽度进行限定,同理,第二像素开口的宽度以第二子层靠近像素电极层的一侧的开口的宽度进行限定。
具体的,显示面板包括多个像素单元,每一像素单元至少包括红色子像素、蓝色子像素和绿色子像素,如图3所示,第一像素开口311包括对应绿色子像素的第一绿色像素开口411、对应红色子像素的第一红色像素开口412和对应蓝色子像素的第一蓝色像素开口413,第二像素开口312包括对应绿色子像素的第二绿色像素开口421、对应红色子像素的第二红色像素开口422和对应蓝色子像素的第二蓝色像素开口423。从图3中可以看到,对应不同子像素的第一像素开口和第二像素开口的面积不同。可以理解的是,由于不同子像素的发光效率不同,在形成不同的子像素对应的像素开口时,可以使对应不同子像素的像素开口的面积不同,例如,蓝色子像素的面积大于绿色子像素的面积,则可以使第一蓝色像素开口的面积大于第一绿色像素开口的面积,使第二蓝色像素开口的面积大于第二绿色像素开口的面积。但本申请实施例不限于此,基于不同的像素设计,可以对应设置像素开口的面积。
具体的,可以使对应不同的子像素的第二像素开口和第一像素开口之间的间距相同,例如,第一蓝色像素开口与第二蓝色像素开口之间的间距,等于第一绿色像素开口与第二绿色像素开口之间的间距,也可以使对应不同的子像素的第二像素开口和第一像素开口之间的间距不相同,例如,第一蓝色像素开口与第二蓝色像素开口之间的间距,大于或者小于第一绿色像素开口与第二绿色像素开口之间的间距。
在一些实施例中,如图3所示,所述第一像素开口311的形状与所述第二像素开口312的形状相同,使得第一像素开口和第二像素开口形成的反射面较为平整,对光线的反射效果较好。例如图3中第一像素开口311和第二像素开口312的形状均为菱形,但本申请实施例不限于此,可以使第一像素开口和第二像素开口的形状为其他形状。
在一些实施例中,如图2所示,所述第二子层232b靠近所述衬底21的第一下表面511与至少部分的所述第一子层232a远离所述衬底21的第二上表面512接触,并与至少部分的所述像素电极231a远离所述衬底21的第三上表面513接触。通过使第二子层搭接在第一子层上,使得第二子层与第一子层直接接触形成反射面,光提取效果较好,且第二子层搭接在像素电极上,使得发光材料与像素电极对应设置,且第一子层和第二子层形成的反射面能够对发光材料发出的光线进行反射,提高光提取效果。
在一些实施例中,如图2所示,所述第一子层232a与所述像素电极层231形成有第一夹角A1,所述第二子层232b与所述像素电极层231形成有第二夹角A2,所述第一夹角A1大于或等于所述第二夹角A2。通过使第一夹角大于第二夹角,使得光线能够照射至第一子层与第二子层的反射面,提高光提取效果,使第一子层与像素电极层形成的夹角等于第二子层与像素电极层形成的夹角,使得第二子层和第一子层的接触面平整,第二子层和第一子层形成的全反射面对光提取的效果较好,提高显示面板的出光效率。
具体的,由于第一子层与像素电极层形成的夹角包括锐角和钝角,本申请实施例定义第一子层与像素电极层形成的锐角为第一夹角,同理,第二子层与像素电极层形成的锐角为第二夹角。
在一些实施例中,所述第一夹角的取值范围为20度至60度,所述第二夹角的取值范围为20度至60度。
具体的,为了防止第二子层搭接在第一子层的侧面时出现断裂的问题,可以使第一夹角的角度较小,从而在形成第二子层时,第二子层可以搭接在第一子层上,避免第二子层断裂,且为了防止第一夹角的角度过小导致光线发散无法照射到第一子层和第二子层的接触面,可以使第一夹角相对较大,从而使得第一夹角的取值范围为20度至60度。在设置第二子层时,使第二子层的角度与第一子层的角度相同,可以防止后续膜层形成时出现断裂,也可以避免角度过小导致无法对光线反射,从而使得第一夹角和第二夹角的范围为20度至60度,使得显示面板的出光效率较高。
在一些实施例中,所述第二子层的折射率与所述第二子层的折射率的差值的范围为0.1至0.15。通过使第二子层的折射率与第一子层的折射率的差值的范围为0.1至0.15,使得第一子层与第二子层形成的全反射面对光线的提取效果较好,提高显示面板的出光效率,且避免第一子层和第二子层的折射率差值过大导致光线散射过多,提高显示面板的光效。
在一些实施例中,所述第一子层的折射率的范围为1.4至1.55,所述第二子层的折射率的范围为1.55至1.85。通过使第一子层的折射率范围为1.4至1.55,第二子层的折射率的范围为1.55至1.85,使得第一子层和第二子层形成的全反射面对光线的反射效果较好,提高显示面板的出光效率。
在一些实施例中,所述第二子层的材料包括透明材料,所述第一子层的材料包括透明材料和非透明材料中的一种。通过使第二子层的材料包括透明材料,使得发光材料层发出的光线能够穿过第二子层到达第一子层与第二子层的交界面,从而对光线进行提取,提高显示面板的出光效率。通过第一子层和第二子层的折射率差异形成全反射面,则第一子层的材料可以为透明材料和非透明材料中的一种。
具体的,第二子层的材料包括透明有机光刻胶,第一子层的材料包括有机光刻胶。
具体的,第一子层的材料可以为非透明材料,则可以使得光线穿过第二子层后,不会穿过第一子层,避免光线向下照射至薄膜晶体管导致薄膜晶体管的电性偏移,提高薄膜晶体管的稳定性。
在一些实施例中,所述第一子层的材料包括丙烯酸树脂、环氧树脂、苯酚树脂、聚酰胺树脂中的一种,所述第二子层的材料包括丙烯酸树脂、环氧树脂、苯酚树脂、聚酰胺树脂中的一种。通过使第一子层和第二子层在交界面形成全反射面,且第一子层和第二子层可以采用高温制程形成,则第一子层和第二子层的材料选择较多,且性能更加稳定。
具体的,对于丙烯酸树脂、环氧树脂、苯酚树脂、聚酰胺树脂,由于上述树脂为一种树脂体系,可以通过调整各体系内的掺杂物或者基团来改变各树脂的性能,例如使得形成的第一子层不透明,但形成的第二子层透明,从而实现不同膜层的不同功能。
在一些实施例中,如图2所示,所述发光功能层23还包括公共电极层234,所述第一子层232a的厚度L1大于或等于所述第二子层232b的厚度L2,且所述像素定义层232的厚度大于所述像素电极层231、发光材料层233和公共电极层234的厚度之和L4。通过使第一子层的厚度等于第二子层的厚度,且像素定义层的厚度大于像素电极层、发光材料层和公共电极层的厚度之和,避免发光材料层溢出对应的第二像素开口,使得显示面板的均匀性较好。
具体的,上述实施例以第一子层的厚度等于第二子层的厚度为例进行说明,但本申请实施例不限于此,第一子层和第二子层的厚度可以不同。
具体的,上述实施例以像素定义层的厚度大于像素电极层、发光材料层和公共电极层的厚度之和为例进行说明,但本申请实施例不限于此,例如像素定义层的厚度可以等于像素电极层、发光材料层和公共电极层的厚度之和,使得像素定义层的厚度较小,且公共电极层的不同区域的高度差较小,避免公共电极层断裂。
具体的,第一子层的厚度范围为0.3微米至5微米。
具体的,第二子层的厚度范围为0.3微米至5微米。
具体的,如图2所示,驱动电路层22包括薄膜晶体管阵列层221和平坦化层222。
具体的,薄膜晶体管阵列层221包括依次设置的缓冲层、有源层、第一栅极绝缘层、第一金属层、第二栅极绝缘层、第二金属层、层间绝缘层和源漏极层。
具体的,如图2所示,显示面板还包括封装层24和触控层25。
具体的,封装层包括第一无机层、有机层和第二无机层。
具体的,触控层包括第一电极层、绝缘层和第二电极层。
