Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram taken along a sectional line a-a' of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 1, the display panel provided in this embodiment includes a display area 10, where the display area 10 includes a first display area 11 and a light-sensing element disposing area 12; referring to fig. 2, the display panel includes a substrate base plate 100; a pixel defining layer 200, the pixel defining layer 200 being located at one side of the substrate base plate 100; the pixel defining layer 200 includes a plurality of pixel openings 210, each pixel opening 210 includes a first pixel opening 211 and a second pixel opening 212, the first pixel opening 211 is located in the first display region 11, the second pixel opening 212 is located in the light-sensing element disposing region 12, and a sidewall of the second pixel opening 212 is a concave structure.
It can be understood that the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for a display device that needs to dispose a light sensing element under a screen, where the light sensing element may be other specific light sensing elements such as a camera and an infrared detector, and the following description will take the light sensing element as the camera as an example. Because the requirement of the camera on light is high, in the prior art, a hollowed area is generally arranged at the edge or inside of a display area, the hollowed area cannot display, and the real comprehensive screen design is difficult to realize. The aperture of the existing camera for receiving light is generally arranged in a circular shape, so that the light-sensing element arrangement area 12 is exemplarily shown in fig. 1 as a circular area. In other embodiments, the number of the light sensing element arrangement regions 12 may be one or more, for example, when a plurality of light sensing elements are arranged, a plurality of light sensing element arrangement regions 12 may be arranged. The light sensing element disposing region 12 may be a continuous region or a discontinuous region, which may be designed according to the actual application environment, and is not limited herein. In some embodiments, the light sensing element disposing region 12 may be disposed at the edge of the display region of the display panel, or the light sensing element disposing region 12 may be disposed inside the display region of the display panel, as shown in fig. 1. For example, the light sensing element disposition region 12 may be disposed at an upper left corner, an upper right corner, or a middle region of the first display region 11. In practical applications, the specific position of the light-sensing element disposing region 12 may be designed and determined according to practical application environments, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
In a specific implementation, the shape of the light sensing element arrangement region 12 may be set to be a regular shape, such as a rectangle, a rounded rectangle, a circle, an ellipse, and the like, and the shape of the light sensing element arrangement region 12 may also be set to be an irregular shape, such as a water drop shape. Of course, in practical applications, the shape of the light sensing element arrangement region 12 may be designed according to the shape of the elements arranged in the light sensing element arrangement region 12, and is not limited herein.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the relative position relationship and the shape of the first display area 11 and the light-sensing element arrangement area 12 are not limited, and may be specifically set according to the screen design of the display device. Taking a mobile phone as an example, the light sensing element setting area 12 can be arranged at the upper left corner or the upper right corner of the display area, the camera is arranged at the corner, and the light sensing element setting area 12 can be used for simple and quick function services such as time display, weather and information reminding.
The display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises a substrate 100, and the substrate 100 can be a rigid substrate, such as a glass substrate, or a flexible substrate, such as a polyimide substrate. The pixel defining layer 200 includes a plurality of pixel openings 210, one Light Emitting element 300 may be disposed in each pixel opening 210, and the Light Emitting element 300 may be an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED). It can be understood that, in order to ensure the imaging effect of the camera, the light transmittance of the light sensing element setting area 12 is improved, optionally, the pixel density of the first display area 11 may be set to be greater than the pixel density of the light sensing element setting area 12, that is, the density of the first pixel opening 211 is greater than the density of the second pixel opening 212, so that the luminance of the light sensing element setting area 12 is lower during normal display, which affects the display effect. In this embodiment, the sidewall of the second pixel opening 212 is a concave structure, and the concave structure may be an arc surface. Referring to fig. 2, the concave structure is recessed toward the inside of the pixel defining layer 200, i.e., the second pixel opening 212 is shaped like a tight bowl, so as to improve the light extraction efficiency of the light-sensing element disposing region 12.
Fig. 2 further exemplarily shows a light-emitting schematic diagram of the light-emitting elements 300 in the first pixel opening 211 and the second pixel opening 212, a part of light emitted from the light-emitting elements 300 in the first pixel opening 211 enters the pixel defining layer 200 and cannot be emitted from the light-emitting surface of the display panel under the absorption, reflection and other actions of the film layers, and a part of light emitted from the light-emitting elements 300 in the second pixel opening 212 enters the concave structure on the sidewall of the second pixel opening 212 to be reflected and then emitted from the second pixel opening 212, so that the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting elements 300 is improved, the brightness reduction caused by the density reduction of the second pixel opening 212 is compensated, and the display effect of the light-sensing element installation area 12 is improved.
It should be noted that structures such as a thin film transistor, a plurality of traces, various insulating layers, and a planarization layer in the pixel driving circuit are also included between the substrate 100 and the pixel defining layer 200, which are not shown in fig. 2.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the light sensing element setting area is arranged in the display area of the display panel, so that the light sensing element (such as a camera) is arranged below the display area of the display panel, and the comprehensive screen display effect is realized; the pixel opening of the pixel limiting layer limits the pixel unit of the display area, wherein the first pixel opening is located in the first display area, the second pixel opening is located in the light sensing element setting area, the side wall of the second pixel opening is of a concave structure, oblique light rays emitted by the pixel unit in the light sensing element setting area can be reflected on the side wall of the second pixel opening, and therefore the oblique light rays are emitted from the second pixel opening, the light emitting efficiency of the light sensing element setting area is increased, and the display effect of the light sensing element setting area is improved. Optionally, the sidewall of the first pixel opening 211 is a planar structure.
On the basis of the above embodiment, fig. 3 is another schematic cross-sectional structure along the cross-sectional line a-a' in fig. 1. Alternatively, referring to fig. 3, the sidewall of the first pixel opening 211 is a concave structure.
It is understood that, in other embodiments, the sidewall of the first pixel opening 211 may also be configured as a concave structure, so as to improve the light extraction efficiency of the first display region 11. It should be noted that, referring to fig. 3, in a specific implementation, the curvature radius of the sidewall concave structure of the first pixel opening 211 may be set to be larger than the curvature radius of the sidewall concave structure of the second pixel opening 212, that is, the sidewall convexity of the second pixel opening 212 is set to be larger, so as to ensure that the light extraction efficiency of the second pixel opening 212 is larger than the light extraction efficiency of the first pixel opening 211.
Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line a-a' of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 4, optionally, the sidewall surface of the second pixel opening 212 is provided with an anti-reflection film 213.
It is understood that by disposing the reflection increasing film on the sidewall surface of the second pixel opening 212, the reflectivity of the sidewall of the second pixel opening 212 can be increased, and the light-emitting efficiency of the light-sensing element disposing region 12 can be further improved. Optionally, the reflection increasing film 213 includes at least a first functional film layer having a refractive index greater than that of the pixel defining layer 200.
It can be understood that, by plating a quarter-wave film having a refractive index greater than that of the pixel defining layer on the sidewall surface of the second pixel opening 212, light reflected by the upper and lower surfaces of the film interferes constructively, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the reflectivity. The material of the reflection-increasing film can adopt suitable inorganic material or organic material, and the specific implementation can be selected according to actual conditions. Moreover, by setting the refractive index of the first functional layer to be greater than the refractive index of the pixel defining layer 200, light rays with a large incident angle (greater than a critical angle) can also be totally reflected at the interface between the first functional layer and the pixel defining layer 200, thereby further improving the reflectivity. In practice, it may be difficult to find a functional layer material having a refractive index much greater than that of the pixel defining layer, so in practical implementation, the reflection-increasing film may be configured as a multilayer stack structure with high refractive index and low refractive index alternating. Optionally, the reflection increasing film is not disposed on the sidewall surface of the first pixel opening.
In other embodiments, the reflection increasing film may be disposed on the sidewall surface of the first pixel opening, and the reflection increasing film on the sidewall surface of the first pixel opening may be configured to have a reflectivity smaller than that of the reflection increasing film on the sidewall surface of the second pixel opening.
Fig. 5 is a schematic view of another cross-sectional structure taken along the line a-a' in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 5, optionally, the display panel provided in this embodiment further includes: a plurality of light-emitting elements 300, the light-emitting elements 300 including a first electrode 301, a light-emitting layer 302, and a second electrode 303 laminated in this order, wherein the first electrode 301 is located between the second electrode 303 and the base substrate 100; in the second pixel opening 212, a groove structure is disposed on a surface of the first electrode 301 facing away from the substrate 100.
It is to be understood that, in the present embodiment, the first electrode 301 is a reflective electrode of the light emitting element 300, and the second electrode 203 is an emission electrode. The light emitting element 300 is a top light emitting structure in this embodiment, which is only exemplary, and in other embodiments, it may be designed as a bottom light emitting structure. By arranging the groove structure on the surface of the first electrode 301 in the second pixel opening 212, which is away from the substrate 100, the volume or the light emitting area of the light emitting layer can be increased under the condition of the light emitting elements 300 with the same size, so that the light emitting brightness of the light emitting elements 300 in the light sensing element arrangement area 12 is improved, and the display effect is improved.
With continued reference to fig. 5, optionally, in the second pixel opening 212, the light-emitting layer 302 is recessed against a side of the first electrode 301 facing away from the substrate 100, and the second electrode 303 is recessed against a side of the light-emitting layer 302 facing away from the first electrode 301.
By disposing the light-emitting layer 302 and the second electrode 303 to be recessed downward, the light-emitting area of the light-emitting layer 302 in the second pixel opening 212 is larger than the light-emitting area of the light-emitting layer 302 in the first pixel opening 211, so as to improve the brightness of the light-emitting element 300 in the light-sensing element disposing region 12. Further, the concave curvature of the light emitting layer 302 in the second pixel opening 212 may be configured to match the curvature of the opening sidewall, so that more oblique light rays incident on the opening sidewall may be reflected and emitted, thereby improving the light emitting efficiency of the light sensing element disposing region 12 and enhancing the display effect. Alternatively, the curvature of the recess of the light emitting layer 302 in the second pixel opening 212 is set to be equal to the curvature of the opening sidewall.
Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line a-a' of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 6, optionally, in the second pixel opening 212, the light emitting layer 302 abuts on a side of the first electrode 301 facing away from the substrate 100, wherein a surface of the side of the light emitting layer 302 facing away from the first electrode 301 is a planar structure.
By arranging the groove structure at the side of the first electrode 301 departing from the substrate base plate 100 in the second pixel opening 212 and adopting a planar structure at the surface of the light-emitting layer 302 departing from the first electrode 301, the light-emitting area of the light-emitting layer 302 in the second pixel opening 212 can be larger than the light-emitting area of the light-emitting layer 302 of the light-emitting element 300 in the first pixel opening 211, so that the light-emitting brightness of the light-sensing element arrangement area 12 is improved, and the display effect is enhanced.
Optionally, with continued reference to fig. 5 or 6, the groove structure comprises a cambered surface structure.
It is understood that the groove structure of the first electrode 301 may be formed by etching, and the etching speed of different regions is controlled during etching, so as to form a curved surface structure. The concave surface of the groove can be matched with the concave surface structure of the sidewall of the second pixel opening 212, so that the light emitted from the light-emitting layer 302 can be reflected by the sidewall and then emitted from the opening.
In the embodiments shown in fig. 5 and 6, the first electrode 301 is disposed below the pixel defining layer 200, and in other embodiments, the first electrode 301 may be disposed above the pixel defining layer 200. Illustratively, fig. 7 and 8 are schematic views of still another cross-sectional structure taken along the cross-sectional line a-a' of fig. 1, respectively.
