An embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel 3, and the display panel 3 may be used as the display panel 3 in the above-described display device. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the display panel 3 includes a first substrate 31 and a second substrate 32; the peripheral region 62 of the first substrate 31 includes at least one first alignment mark 311, and the peripheral region of the second substrate 32 includes second alignment marks 321 corresponding to the first alignment marks 311 one to one; the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 311 on the display surface of the display panel is completely overlapped with the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface; the region of the first substrate 31 where the first alignment mark 311 is disposed is transparent, and the region of the second substrate 32 where the second alignment mark 321 is disposed is transparent; wherein the materials of the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321 both comprise magneto-optical materials.
On this basis, as shown in fig. 1, the display panel 3 further includes a liquid crystal layer 33 disposed between the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32. The first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32 are bonded together by the sealant, so that the liquid crystal layer 33 is limited in the region surrounded by the sealant. The first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32 further include a display region 61, and the peripheral region 62 is located at the periphery of the display region 61.
In some embodiments, the first substrate 31 is an array substrate, and the second substrate 32 is a cassette substrate; alternatively, the first substrate 31 is a cassette substrate, and the second substrate 32 is an array substrate.
The array substrate comprises a substrate, and a thin film transistor, a pixel electrode and a flat layer which are arranged on the substrate. In addition, the display panel further includes a color filter layer, a black matrix, and a common electrode. The color filter layer, the black matrix, and the common electrode may be disposed on the array substrate, or may be disposed on the opposing substrate.
In some embodiments, the specific position of the first alignment mark 311 in the first base board 31 is not limited, for example, the first base board 31 is an array base board, and the first alignment mark 311 may be disposed on a side of the substrate facing away from the second base board 32, or a side of the substrate facing toward the second base board 32, or a side of the flat layer facing away from the second base board 32, or a side of the flat layer facing toward the second base board 32, or the like.
Without limiting the specific position of the second alignment mark 321 in the second substrate 32, the second substrate 32 is, for example, a box substrate, the color filter layer is disposed on the second substrate 32, and the second alignment mark 321 may be disposed on a side of the color filter layer close to the first substrate 31.
In some embodiments, the shape of the first alignment mark 311 and the shape of the second alignment mark 321 are not defined. For example, the shape of the first alignment mark 311 and the shape of the second alignment mark 321 may be a cross, or a triangle, or a rectangle, etc.
Here, the shapes of the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321 are always the same, and in the case where the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32 are paired, orthographic projections of the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface always completely overlap.
In some embodiments, the specific material of the first and second alignment marks 311 and 321 is not limited as long as the material has an optical information function with a magneto-optical effect in a range from ultraviolet wavelength to infrared wavelength, so that the first and second alignment marks 311 and 321 are visualized.
On the basis, under the action of an external magnetic field, when polarized light from ultraviolet waves to infrared waves passes through the first alignment mark 311, the polarization angle of the polarized light is deflected for the first time; then, when the polarized light whose polarization angle is first deflected passes through the second alignment mark 321, the polarization angle is second deflected.
Illustratively, the material of the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321 is a magneto-optical ceramic material. For example terbium gallium garnet (Tb _3Ga _5O _ (12), TGG), terbium aluminum garnet (Tb _3Al _5O _ (12), TAG), or some sesquioxides such as terbium oxide (Tb _2O _3), holmium oxide (Ho _2O _3), dysprosium oxide (Dy _2O _ 3).
In some embodiments, the material of the first alignment mark 311 is the same as the material of the second alignment mark 321; alternatively, the material of the first alignment mark 311 is different from the material of the second alignment mark 321.
In some embodiments, the region of the first substrate 31 where the first alignment mark 311 is disposed should be transparent, so that light from ultraviolet wavelength to infrared wavelength can penetrate through the first substrate 31; the area of the second substrate 32 where the second alignment mark 321 is disposed should be transparent, so that the light from the ultraviolet wavelength to the infrared wavelength can penetrate through the second substrate 32.
In some embodiments, the color of the polarized light is related to its wavelength band. The polarized light may be monochromatic, for example, the polarized light is ultraviolet light; alternatively, the polarized light may be a plurality of colors, for example, the polarized light includes ultraviolet light and visible light.
The embodiment of the invention provides a display panel 3, the display panel 3 includes a first substrate 31 and a second substrate 32, the first substrate 31 includes a first alignment mark 311, and the second substrate 32 includes a second alignment mark 321. The materials of the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321 include magneto-optical materials, and the magneto-optical materials can be visualized under the irradiation of ultraviolet light waves to infrared light waves. Meanwhile, under the action of the external magnetic field, polarized light from the ultraviolet wavelength to the infrared wavelength enters the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32, the polarization angles of the polarized light are deflected in the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32, so that a light receiver capable of receiving light rays with a specific polarization angle is used for receiving the polarized light emitted from the second substrate 32, and whether the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface and the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface are completely overlapped or not is detected. If the shape of the projection image formed by the polarized light received by the light receiver is the same as the shape of the first alignment mark 311, whether the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface and the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface are completely overlapped; otherwise, the position of the first substrate 31 and/or the second substrate 32 may be adjusted according to the shape of the projection image formed by the polarized light received by the light receiver, so that the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface just completely overlaps the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface, that is, the first substrate and the second substrate 32 are completely aligned.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 4, the display panel 3 further includes a light shielding structure 34 disposed on a side of the first substrate 31 away from the second substrate 32; the light shielding structure 34 is located in the peripheral region 61 of the display panel 3, and its orthographic projection on the display surface completely covers the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface.
In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface completely covers the orthographic projection of the first alignment marker 311 on the display surface. Wherein, the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface is just completely overlapped with the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface; alternatively, the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface completely covers the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface, and the area of the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface is larger than the area of the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface.
In some embodiments, since the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface completely overlaps the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface in the case that the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32 are aligned in a box, when the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface completely covers the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface, the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface also completely covers the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface.
To ensure that the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321 are visible in the range from ultraviolet to infrared, the magneto-optical materials selected for the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321 are generally transparent.
Thus, when the display panel 3 is applied to a display device, the problem of light leakage of the frame of the display device often occurs.
In the prior art, for example, in a liquid crystal display, the transparent first alignment mark 311 and the transparent second alignment mark 321 are usually blocked by using an adhesive layer 7 for adhering the display panel 3 and the upper polarizer 302. However, as shown in fig. 6, for process reasons, the upper polarizer 302 attached to the display panel 3 has a certain attachment tolerance in the actual mass production process, and/or a certain attachment tolerance exists between the adhesive layer 7 for adhering the display panel 3 and the upper polarizer 302, and the attachment tolerance is usually 0 to 0.3 mm. Thus, when the lcd displays, a portion of the light emitted from the backlight module 4 can pass through the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321, thereby causing light leakage at the frame of the lcd.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the light shielding structure 34 may be disposed on a side of the first substrate 31 away from the second substrate 32, and the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface completely covers the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface, so that light can be prevented from exiting the display device through the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321, which causes a light leakage phenomenon.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a cartridge aligning apparatus, as shown in fig. 7, including a cartridge aligning device, a magnetic field generator, a light emitter 8, and a light receiver 9.
The pair-box device has a certain accommodating space, and the first substrate 31, the second substrate 32, the magnetic field generator, the light emitter 8, and the light receiver 9 can be placed therein to form a pair-box device.
A cassette aligning device for aligning the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32; the peripheral region 62 of the first substrate 31 includes at least one first alignment mark 311, the peripheral region of the second substrate 32 includes second alignment marks 321 corresponding to the first alignment marks 311 one by one, the shape and size of the orthographic projection of the second alignment marks 321 on the display surface of the display panel 3 are the same as the shape and size of the orthographic projection of the first alignment marks 311 on the display surface, and the materials of the two include magneto-optical materials.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the first alignment mark 311 is the same as the thickness of the second alignment mark 311; alternatively, the thickness of the first alignment mark 311 is different from the thickness of the second alignment mark 311.
In some embodiments, the material of the first alignment mark 311 is the same as the material of the second alignment mark 321; alternatively, the material of the first alignment mark 311 is different from the material of the second alignment mark 321.
The magnetic field generator applies a magnetic field to the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32, and the direction of the magnetic field (the direction of the magnetic field strength B in fig. 7) is parallel to the thickness direction of the first substrate 31.
Wherein, the direction of the magnetic field is a direction pointing from the first substrate 31 to the second substrate 32; alternatively, the direction of the magnetic field is a direction directed from the second substrate 32 to the first substrate 31.
A light emitter 8 that emits polarized light to the first substrate 31; the polarized light has a wavelength in the range of ultraviolet wavelengths to infrared wavelengths.
In some embodiments, the specific structure of the light emitter 8 is not limited as long as the light emitter 8 can emit polarized light in the wavelength range of ultraviolet light to infrared light.
Optionally, the light emitter 8 comprises a light emitting structure 81 and a first polarizer 82. The first polarizer 82 is attached on the light emitting surface of the light emitting structure 81, so that light emitted from the light emitting structure 81 is polarized along a first direction.
In some embodiments, the polarization direction of the polarized light emitted from the light emitter 8 and incident on the first substrate 31 is the first direction. The first direction is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention, and the first direction may be any direction.
A light receiver 9 for receiving the polarized light emitted from the second substrate 32 and forming a projection pattern based on the polarized light emitted from the second substrate 32; if the shape of the projected image is the same as the shape of the first alignment mark 311, the box alignment is completed; otherwise, the cell alignment is performed again for the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32 according to the projected image until the shape of the projected image is the same as that of the first alignment mark 311.
Here, if the shape of the projection image is the same as the shape of the second alignment mark 321, it can be considered that the box alignment is completed.
In some embodiments, the specific structure of the light receiver 9 is not limited as long as the light receiver 9 can receive polarized light emitted from the second substrate 32 and can image a projection image based on the polarized light received by itself.
Optionally, the light receiver 9 includes a camera 91 and a second polarizer 92. The second polarizing plate is attached to the objective lens of the camera so that the light receiver 9 can receive polarized light emitted from the second substrate 32.
In some embodiments, the polarization direction of the polarized light incident from the first substrate 31 and exiting from the second substrate 32 is the second direction.
When the polarized light passes through the first alignment mark 311, the polarization angle of the polarized light is deflected for the first time; then, when the polarized light having undergone the first deflection passes through the second alignment mark 321, the polarization angle is deflected for the second time.
As shown in fig. 7, the polarization angle of the polarized light polarized in the first direction is defined as 0 °, and the polarization angle of the polarized light polarized in the second direction after being emitted from the second substrate 32 is defined as θ.
Wherein, θ is VBd1+ VBd 1.
V is the Verdet constant, which is a material-specific proportionality coefficient, and has the unit rad/(T "m). The Verdet constant has a positive and negative component, when the light propagation direction is consistent with the magnetic field direction, V takes a positive value, and at the moment, the angle theta is anticlockwise rotated along the light propagation direction; when the light propagation direction is opposite to the magnetic field direction, V takes a negative value, and the angle θ is clockwise when viewed along the light propagation direction.

In some embodiments, if the shape of the projected image is different from the shapes of the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321, the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface partially overlaps or does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface.
When the shape of the projected image is different from the shapes of the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321, if the projected image is not blank, the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface; if the projected image is blank, the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface does not overlap the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface.

The light receiver 9 capable of receiving light with a specific polarization angle is used to receive the polarized light emitted from the second substrate 32, so as to detect whether the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface and the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface are completely overlapped. If the shape of the projection image formed by the polarized light received by the light receiver is the same as the shape of the first alignment mark 311, whether the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface and the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface are completely overlapped; otherwise, the position of the first substrate 31 and/or the second substrate 32 may be adjusted according to the shape of the projection image formed by the polarized light received by the light receiver, so that the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface exactly and completely overlaps the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a box aligning method of a display panel, which can be realized by the following steps as shown in fig. 8:

S12, the magnetic field generator applies a magnetic field to the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32, the direction of the magnetic field being parallel to the thickness direction of the first substrate 31.
Wherein, the direction of the magnetic field is a direction pointing from the first substrate 31 to the second substrate 32; alternatively, the direction of the magnetic field is a direction directed from the second substrate 32 to the first substrate 31.

Optionally, the light emitter 8 comprises a light emitting structure 81 and a first polarizer 82. The first polarizer 82 is attached on the light emitting surface of the light emitting structure 81, so that light emitted from the light emitting structure 81 is polarized along a first direction.
In some embodiments, the polarization direction of the polarized light emitted from the light emitter 8 and incident on the first substrate 31 is the first direction. The first direction is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention, and the first direction may be any direction.
S14, the light receiver 9 receives the polarized light emitted from the second substrate 32, and forms a projection pattern according to the polarized light emitted from the second substrate 32; if the shape of the projected image is the same as the shape of the first alignment mark 311, the box alignment is completed; otherwise, the cell alignment is performed again for the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32 according to the projected image until the shape of the projected image is the same as that of the first alignment mark 311.
Here, if the shape of the projection image is the same as the shape of the second alignment mark 321, it can be considered that the box alignment is completed.
In some embodiments, the specific structure of the light receiver 9 is not limited as long as the light receiver 9 can receive polarized light emitted from the second substrate 32 and can image a projection image based on the polarized light received by itself.
Optionally, the light receiver 9 includes a camera 91 and a second polarizer 92. The second polarizing plate is attached to the objective lens of the camera so that the light receiver 9 can receive polarized light emitted from the second substrate 32.
In some embodiments, the polarization direction of the polarized light incident from the first substrate 31 and exiting from the second substrate 32 is the second direction.

When the shape of the projected image is different from the shapes of the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321, if the projected image is not blank, the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface; if the projected image is blank, the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface does not overlap the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface.
The embodiment of the invention provides a box aligning method of a display panel, which has the same beneficial effects as the box aligning device and is not repeated herein.
On the basis, after the box alignment of the display panel 3 is completed, the box alignment method of the display panel 3 further includes: as shown in fig. 4, a light shielding structure 34 is formed on a side of the first substrate 31 facing away from the second substrate 32. The light shielding structure 34 is located in the peripheral region 62 of the display panel 3, and an orthogonal projection of the light shielding structure on the display surface completely covers an orthogonal projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface.
Here, since the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32 are first aligned and then the light shielding structure 34 is formed on the display panel 3, the light shielding structure 34 does not affect the propagation of the polarized light emitted from the light emitter 8 to the first substrate 31 and the propagation of the polarized light irradiated from the second substrate 32 to the light receiver 9.
In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface completely covers the orthographic projection of the first alignment marker 311 on the display surface. Wherein, the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface is just completely overlapped with the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface; alternatively, the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface completely covers the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface, and the area of the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface is larger than the area of the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface.
In some embodiments, since the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface completely overlaps the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface in the case that the first substrate 31 and the second substrate 32 are aligned in a box, when the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface completely covers the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface, the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface also completely covers the orthographic projection of the second alignment mark 321 on the display surface.
To ensure that the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321 are visible in the range from ultraviolet to infrared, the magneto-optical materials selected for the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321 are generally transparent.
Thus, when the display panel 3 is applied to a display device, the problem of light leakage of the frame of the display device often occurs.
In the prior art, for example, in a liquid crystal display, the transparent first alignment mark 311 and the transparent second alignment mark 321 are usually blocked by using an adhesive layer 7 for adhering the display panel 3 and the upper polarizer 302. However, as shown in fig. 6, for process reasons, the upper polarizer 302 attached to the display panel 3 has a certain attachment tolerance in the actual mass production process, and/or a certain attachment tolerance exists between the adhesive layer 7 for adhering the display panel 3 and the upper polarizer 302, and the attachment tolerance is usually 0 to 0.3 mm. Thus, when the lcd displays, a portion of the light emitted from the backlight module 4 can pass through the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321, thereby causing light leakage at the frame of the lcd.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the light shielding structure 34 may be disposed on a side of the first substrate 31 away from the second substrate 32, and the orthographic projection of the light shielding structure 34 on the display surface completely covers the orthographic projection of the first alignment mark 311 on the display surface, so that light can be prevented from exiting the display device through the first alignment mark 311 and the second alignment mark 321, which causes a light leakage phenomenon.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present invention, and all the changes or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the appended claims.
