The display substrate provided by the embodiment of the application further includes a touch layer 110, where the touch layer is located on one side of the first electrode 105 away from the substrate 101 and on one side of the second electrode 107 away from the substrate 101, so as to avoid the influence of the electrochromic layer on the implementation of the function of the touch layer.
The touch layer 110 includes a touch driving electrode and a touch sensing electrode, the touch driving electrode is located on one side of the touch layer 110 facing the substrate 101, and the touch sensing electrode is located on one side of the touch layer 110 away from the substrate 101; when touch occurs, the distance between the touch driving electrode and the touch sensing electrode near the touch point changes, so that capacitive coupling between the touch driving electrode and the touch sensing electrode is influenced to generate a sensing signal, and the position of the touch point can be calculated.
In the embodiment of the present application, a sub-pixel unit 104 is disposed in an area between adjacent pixel defining portions 103; the display substrate 10 further includes a plurality of thin film transistors 109, each of the plurality of thin film transistors 109 is located between the substrate 101 and the pixel defining layer 102, each of the sub-pixel units 104 is electrically connected to one of the plurality of thin film transistors 109 through a corresponding third electrode 108, the thin film transistor 109 is configured to apply a driving signal to the second electrode 108, and a side of each of the plurality of sub-pixel units 104 away from the substrate 101 is electrically connected or contacted with the first electrode 105, and then one of the first electrode 105 and the third electrode 108 is used as an anode, and the other of the first electrode 105 and the third electrode 108 is used as a cathode, and the switching function of the thin film transistor 109 is combined, so that the light emission or non-light emission of the corresponding sub-pixel unit can be controlled. The sub-pixel unit 104 may be an OLED pixel sub-unit, and specifically may be a red pixel sub-unit, a green pixel sub-unit, or a blue pixel sub-unit. The cathode and the touch driving electrode may be made of one or more of silver Ag, copper Cu, magnesium Mg, aluminum Al, Metal Mesh, Metal oxide ITO, and indium tin oxide.
The thin film transistor includes a buffer layer 91, an Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) active layer 92, a gate insulating layer 93, a gate electrode 94, an interlayer dielectric layer 95, a source electrode (S electrode) 96, a drain electrode (D electrode) 97, and a planarization layer 98 covering the source electrode 96, the drain electrode 97, and the gate electrode 94, which are sequentially disposed on a substrate 101; the third electrode 108 is connected to the drain electrode 94.
Alternatively, in a thin film transistor, a unit including N of the source electrode 96, the drain electrode 97, and the gate electrode 94 is included, the drain electrode 97 of the previous unit is connected to the gate electrode 94 of the next unit, the source electrode 96 of the first unit is connected to the anode of the control circuit, and the drain electrode 94 of the nth unit is connected to the third electrode 108. Wherein N is a positive integer, for example, 1, 2 or 9.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the sub-pixel unit 104 is covered with the first electrode 105, and a thin film encapsulation layer 113 and a polyimide thin film layer 114 are sequentially stacked on the first electrode 105, so as to implement encapsulation of the sub-pixel unit.
In the embodiment of the present application, because the electrochromic layer 106 is located between the second electrode 107 and the first electrode 105 located on the display interface 103, and the electrochromic layer 106 can perform a reversible color change reaction under the action of an electric field, when the display substrate 10 is applied to the display panel 20, when the display panel 20 turns on, a voltage reaching a color change voltage value of the electrochromic layer 106 can be applied between the second electrode 107 and the first electrode 105, so that the electrochromic layer 106 can perform a color change adjustment;
meanwhile, because each pixel defining part 103 is sequentially stacked with a first electrode 105, an electrochromic layer 106 and a second electrode 107 on the side away from the substrate, the entire display panel 20 can be in a colorful state by controlling the electrochromic layers 106 at different positions to change the color;
in addition, since the electrochromic layer 106 does not consume power any more without changing the color, the power consumption of the above-mentioned multi-color pattern rendering method is much lower than that of the existing screen saver method.
The first electrode 105 is an inherent electrode structure of the conventional display substrate 10, and when the display panel 20 is in the information state, the first electrode 105 is not required to supply power to the display screen of the display panel 20, and the second electrode 107 is an electrode separately provided to provide an electric field effect for the electrochromic layer to perform the color change reaction, so that the realization of the color change adjustment of the electrochromic layer 106 does not affect the original display function of the display panel 20.
In the embodiment of the present application, the electrochromic layer 106 includes an electrochromic material sub-layer 61, an ion conducting sub-layer 62, and an ion storage sub-layer 63, which are sequentially stacked. The ion-conducting sublayer 66 is located between the electrochromic material sublayer 61 and the ion storage sublayer 62, and the ion-conducting sublayer 63 is in direct contact with both the electrochromic material sublayer 61 and the ion storage sublayer 62.
The optical properties of the material of the electrochromic material layer 106, such as reflectivity, transmittance, and absorption rate, are stable and reversible color change under the action of an external electric field, and may be an inorganic electrochromic material or an organic electrochromic material. Optionally, the material of the electrochromic material sublayer 61 may specifically be one or more of polypyrrole electrochromic materials, polythiophene electrochromic materials, polyfuran electrochromic materials, and polybenzazole electrochromic materials. Polyaniline can be formed by electrochemical processes or chemical oxidation of aniline; polyaniline may appear pale yellow or dark green/black in different oxidation states.
The ion-conducting sublayer 62 allows ions to move between the electrochromic sublayer 61 and the ion-storage sublayer 63, but prevents electrons from passing through, i.e., the ion-conducting sublayer 62 conducts ions but does not conduct electrons, and can be in the form of a solid, liquid or colloidal state.
The ion storage sublayer 63 is used for storing ions and supplying ions during the color change process, thereby balancing the total amount of charges. The ion storage sublayer 63 may also use an electrochromic material with properties opposite to those of the electrochromic material sublayer 61, and may play a role in ion complementation during the color change process.
Optionally, in one embodiment, the electrochromic material sublayer 61 is electrically connected 105 to the first electrode, and the ion storage sublayer 63 is electrically connected 107 to the second electrode. In this embodiment, the electrochromic material sublayer 61 is in contact with the first electrode 105, and the ion storage sublayer 63 is in contact with the second electrode 107, so that a color change reaction is performed on the side close to the first electrode 105 when the electrochromic layer 106 performs color change adjustment.
Alternatively, in another embodiment, the ion storage sublayer 63 is electrically connected to the first electrode 105, and the electrochromic material sublayer 61 is electrically connected to the second electrode 107. In this embodiment, the electrochromic material sublayer 61 is in contact with the second electrode 107, and the ion storage sublayer 63 is in contact with the first electrode 105, so that when the electrochromic layer 106 performs the color change adjustment, the color change reaction proceeds on the side away from the first electrode 105.
Optionally, the above-mentioned sub-layer 61 of electrochromic material is black or grey before electrochromic. The electrochromic material sub-layer 61 in the embodiment of the present application is black or gray before electrochromic, so that when the display panel 20 including the display substrate 10 is powered on for displaying, the black or gray electrochromic layer is used to shield the projection area of the electrochromic layer 106, thereby prompting the screen display effect.
Alternatively, in an implementation manner, as shown in fig. 3, in the display substrate provided in the embodiment of the present application, the electrochromic layer 106 is located on a side of the first electrode 105 facing the substrate 101; (ii) a Accordingly, since the first electrode 105, the electrochromic layer 106 and the second electrode layer 107 are stacked, the second electrode 107 is located on a side of the electrochromic layer 106 facing the substrate 101. In the above embodiment, the electrochromic layer 106 and the second electrode 107 can be embedded in the pixel defining portion 103, and the color changing function can be realized without increasing the thickness of the display substrate.
Alternatively, in one implementation, as shown in fig. 4, in the display substrate 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the electrochromic layer 106 is located on a side of the first electrode 105 away from the substrate 101; accordingly, since the first electrode 105, the electrochromic layer 106 and the second electrode layer 107 are stacked, the second electrode 107 is located on a side of the electrochromic layer 106 away from the substrate 101. In the above embodiment, the electrochromic layer 106 and the second electrode 107 can be embedded into the encapsulation layer on the first electrode 105, so that not only can the color changing function be realized without increasing the thickness of the display substrate, but also the electrochromic layer is closer to the surface layer of the display substrate, and the color display effect of the electrochromic layer is better.
Referring to fig. 3 or 4, the display panel 20 includes the display substrate 10.
In the display panel, the electrochromic layer is additionally arranged between the second electrode and the first electrode positioned on the display definition part, and the electrochromic layer can perform reversible color change reaction under the action of an electric field, so that when the display panel turns on, the electrochromic layer is subjected to color change adjustment by applying voltage to the second electrode and the first electrode, and the whole display panel is in a colorful state; in addition, because the electrochromic layer can not consume electric energy under the condition that the color is not changed, the power consumption of the colorful pattern presentation mode is far lower than that of the existing screen protection mode.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3 or 4, the display panel 20 further includes a cover plate 111 and a touch layer 110; the cover plate 111, the touch layer 110, and the display substrate 10 are sequentially stacked, and the cover plate 111 and the touch layer 110 are bonded by an optically transparent adhesive 112. When the display panel 20 is in the display state, the electrochromic layer 106 is in a dark color state such as black or gray, and can block light to circuits such as the thin film transistor 109 below, so that the polarizer in the existing display panel such as the micro light emitting diode display panel or the quantum dot display panel can be eliminated, the display effect of the display panel is not affected, and the whole display panel is slimmer.
The embodiment of the present application further provides a display panel driving method, which is used for driving the display panel, where the method may include step 100.
In the embodiment of the present application, the method is applied to an electronic device with a touch display panel, where the electronic device may be a mobile electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted electronic device, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), or may also be a non-mobile electronic device such as a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, or a self-service machine.
Step 100, in a breath screen state, applying a first voltage between the touch driving electrode and the first electrode to change the electrochromic layer from a primary color to a target color, where the primary color is black or gray.
In step 100, the first voltage is a color-changing voltage of an electrochromic material in the electrochromic layer. In the breath screen state, the first electrode does not need to supply power to the display picture of the display panel, so that the first electrode can be used for providing an electric field effect for the color changing reaction of the electrochromic layer, and a first voltage for enabling the electrochromic layer to carry out the color changing reaction is applied between the second electrode and the first electrode, so that the electrochromic layer is changed from a black or gray primary color state to a target color state, and the whole display panel is in a colorful state; in addition, because the electrochromic layer can not consume electric energy under the condition that the color is not changed, the power consumption of the colorful pattern presentation mode is far lower than that of the existing screen protection mode.
Optionally, in an embodiment, in a case that the electrochromic layer can be changed to multiple colors from a primary color through the action of electric fields with different intensities, the step 100 specifically includes steps 111 to 113:
step 111, determining a target color in a breath screen state;
step 112, determining a first voltage according to the corresponding relation between the target color and the voltage value;
step 113, applying the first voltage between the second electrode and the first electrode to change the electrochromic layer from a primary color to a target color, wherein the primary color is black or gray.
In step 111, the target color is a preset osd display color, that is, when entering the osd state, a color preset by the user is obtained as the target color.
In step 112, the correspondence relationship between the voltage value and the color, which is determined in advance according to the electrochromic performance of the electrochromic layer, indicates that the electrochromic layer is changed from the value to the target color to the required voltage value. Therefore, after the target color is determined, the target voltage can be determined as the first voltage based on the correspondence relationship.
In step 113, a first voltage is applied between the second electrode and the first electrode, so that the electrochromic layer located between the second electrode and the first electrode undergoes a color change reaction under the action of an electric field and changes to a target color.
The above embodiment is applicable to a scene in which a single electrochromic layer can change different colors through different electric field effects, and a corresponding first voltage is applied between the second electrode and the first electrode according to a corresponding relationship between a target color to be changed and a voltage value, that is, the electrochromic layer can be changed to different color states.
Optionally, in an embodiment, the driving method further includes steps 200 to 300:
step 200, under the condition that a bright screen signal is received, continuously applying a second voltage for a preset time length between the second electrode and the first electrode so as to restore the electrochromic layer from the target color to the primary color; the second voltage is equal to the first voltage in magnitude and opposite in direction.
In the step 200, when the bright screen signal is received, it indicates that the user needs to use the display panel, but because the electrochromic layer is still in the target color state, and the target color is generally in the color state, in order not to affect the normal display of the display panel, the electrochromic layer needs to be restored to the primary color state of black or gray, so that a second voltage of a preset duration is continuously applied between the second electrode and the first electrode, and because the second voltage is equal to the first voltage in magnitude and opposite in direction, the electrochromic layer can be restored from the target color state to the primary color state.
Wherein, because electrochromic layer needs to last to be acted on under the look variable voltage and predetermine duration and just can accomplish the color change reaction, therefore when control electrochromic layer resumes to the primary color, need control above-mentioned second voltage and last to predetermine duration for electrochromic layer can receive the electric field effect that predetermines the second voltage of duration and correspond and accomplish the color change reaction. The preset time period is determined by the electrochromic material in the electrochromic layer.
After the electrochromic layer is restored to the primary color, because the electrochromic layer does not affect the display of the display panel under the condition that the electrochromic layer is restored to the primary color state, the first electrode can be reused to supply power to each sub-pixel unit, the display panel enters the normal display state, and the problem that the display effect is affected due to the fact that the electrochromic layer is changed to other colors except black and gray when the display panel normally displays is solved.
In the foregoing embodiment, when the bright screen signal is received, the second voltage is applied between the touch driving electrode and the first electrode to restore the electrochromic layer to the black or gray state, and then the touch layer is driven to enter the touch sensing state, so that the problem that the display effect of the display panel is affected when the display panel normally displays other colors except for black and gray due to the display of the electrochromic layer is avoided.
