The display substrate provided in this embodiment further includes a touch layer 110, where the touch layer is located on a side of the first electrode 105 away from the substrate 101 and on a side of the second electrode 107 away from the substrate 101, so as to avoid the influence of the setting 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 at a side of the touch layer 110 facing the substrate 101, and the touch sensing electrode is located at a side of the touch layer 110 facing away from the substrate 101; when touch occurs, the distance between the touch driving electrode and the touch sensing electrode near the touch point is changed, so that the 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, the sub-pixel unit 104 is disposed in the region between the adjacent pixel defining sections 103; the display substrate 10 further includes a plurality of thin film transistors 109, wherein the plurality of thin film transistors 109 are disposed between the substrate 101 and the pixel defining layer 102, each of the sub-pixel units 104 is electrically connected to one of the thin film transistors 109 via a corresponding third electrode 108, the thin film transistors 109 are used for applying a driving signal to the second electrode 108, and each of the sub-pixel units 104 is turned on or contacted with the first electrode 105 on a side away from the substrate 101, 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 action of the thin film transistors 109 is combined, so as to control the light emission or non-light emission of the corresponding sub-pixel unit. 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 (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide, IGZO) active layer 92, a gate insulating layer 93, a gate electrode 94, and an interlayer dielectric layer 95, which are sequentially formed over a substrate 101, and a source electrode (S-electrode) 96 and a drain electrode (D-electrode) 97 formed over the interlayer dielectric layer, and a planarization layer 98 covering the source electrode 96, the drain electrode 97, and the gate electrode 94; the third electrode 108 is connected to the drain 94.
Optionally, in a thin film transistor, the unit includes N sources 96, drains 97, and gates 94, where the drain 97 of the previous unit is connected to the gate 94 of the next unit, the source 96 of the first unit is connected to the anode of the control circuit, and the drain 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 this embodiment, the sub-pixel unit 104 is covered with the first electrode 105, and a thin film packaging layer 113 and a polyimide thin film layer 114 are sequentially stacked on the first electrode 105, so as to realize packaging of the sub-pixel unit.
In this embodiment, since the electrochromic layer 106 is located between the second electrode 107 and the first electrode 105 located on the display defining portion 103, and the electrochromic layer 106 can undergo 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 is turned off, 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 be color-changed;
meanwhile, since the first electrode 105, the electrochromic layer 106 and the second electrode 107 are sequentially stacked on one side of each pixel defining portion 103 far away from the substrate, the whole display panel 20 can be in a colorful state by controlling the electrochromic layers 106 at different positions to change colors;
in addition, because the electrochromic layer 106 will not consume power any more without color change, the power consumption of the multi-color pattern display mode is far lower than that of the existing screen protection mode.
Because the first electrode 105 is an intrinsic electrode structure of the conventional display substrate 10, and because the first electrode 105 is not required to supply power to the display panel 20 when the display panel 20 is in the off-screen state, the second electrode 107 is a separately provided electrode for providing an electric field for the electrochromic layer to perform the color-changing reaction, the implementation of the color-changing adjustment of the electrochromic layer 106 does not affect the original display function of the display panel 20.
In this embodiment, 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 stacked in sequence. Wherein 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, absorptivity, etc., undergo a stable and reversible color change under the action of an applied electric field, which may be an inorganic electrochromic material or an organic electrochromic material. Alternatively, the material of the electrochromic material sub-layer 61 may be one or more of polypyrrole electrochromic material, polythiophene electrochromic material, polyfuran electrochromic material and polybenzazole electrochromic material. 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 sub-layer 62 allows ions to move between the electrochromic sub-layer 61 and the ion storage sub-layer 63, but prevents electrons from passing through, i.e., the ion conducting sub-layer 62 conducts ions but does not conduct electrons, and may be solid, liquid or colloidal.
The ion storage sub-layer 63 has the function of storing ions and supplying the required ions during the color change process, thereby balancing the total charge. The ion storage sublayer 63 may also use an electrochromic material having properties opposite to those of the electrochromic material sublayer 61, and may perform ion complementation during the color change.
Alternatively, in one embodiment, the electrochromic material sub-layer 61 is electrically connected 105 to the first electrode and the ion storage sub-layer 63 is electrically connected to the second electrode 107. In the present embodiment, the electrochromic material sub-layer 61 is in contact with the first electrode 105, and the ion storage sub-layer 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 is subjected to a color change adjustment.
Alternatively, in another embodiment, the ion storage sub-layer 63 is electrically connected to the first electrode 105, and the electrochromic material sub-layer 61 is electrically connected to the second electrode 107. In the present embodiment, the electrochromic material sub-layer 61 is in contact with the second electrode 107, and the ion storage sub-layer 63 is in contact with the first electrode 105, so that a color change reaction is performed on the side away from the first electrode 105 when the electrochromic layer 106 performs a color change adjustment.
Alternatively, the electrochromic material sub-layer 61 may be black or gray prior to 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 performs power-on display, the projection area of the electrochromic layer 106 is shaded by the electrochromic layer that is black or gray, and the screen display effect is prompted.
Alternatively, in one embodiment, 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; the method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the 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 the 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 change function can be realized without increasing the thickness of the display substrate.
Alternatively, in one embodiment, 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 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 may be embedded into the encapsulation layer on the upper portion of the first electrode 105, so that not only the color changing function can be achieved without increasing the thickness of the display substrate, but also the electrochromic layer is closer to the surface layer of the display substrate, so that the color display effect of the electrochromic layer is better.
In addition, the embodiment of the present application further provides a display panel, and please continue to refer to fig. 3 or 4, where the display panel 20 includes the display substrate 10.
In the display panel, the electrochromic layer is added between the second electrode and the first electrode positioned on the display defining part, and the electrochromic layer can generate reversible color change reaction under the action of an electric field, so that when the display panel is in a screen-off state, 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 multi-color 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 111 and a touch layer 110; the cover 111, the touch layer 110, and the display substrate 10 are stacked in this order, and the cover 111 and the touch layer 110 are bonded to each other by an optically transparent adhesive 112. When the display panel 20 is in a display state, the electrochromic layer 106 is in a dark color state such as black or gray, and can shade wires of the underlying thin film transistor 109, so that polarizers in the display panel such as the conventional micro light emitting diode display panel or the quantum dot display panel can be removed, the display effect of the display panel is not affected, and the whole display panel is thinner.
The embodiment of the application also provides a method for driving a display panel, which is used for driving the display panel, wherein the method may include step 100.
In the embodiment of the 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 (personal digital assistant, PDA), or a non-mobile electronic device such as a personal computer (personal computer, PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine or a self-service machine.
And 100, in a screen-off state, applying a first voltage between the touch control driving electrode and the first electrode so as to change the electrochromic layer from a primary color to a target color, wherein the primary color is black or gray.
In step 100, the first voltage is a color change voltage of the electrochromic material in the electrochromic layer. In the screen-off 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 change reaction of the electrochromic layer, and the electrochromic layer is changed from the black or gray primary color state to the target color state by applying a first voltage between the second electrode and the first electrode, so that 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 multi-color pattern presentation mode is far lower than that of the existing screen protection mode.
Alternatively, in one embodiment, in the case that the electrochromic layer is changeable to a plurality of colors by the primary colors through the action of electric fields of different intensities, the step 100 specifically includes steps 111 to 113:
step 111, determining a target color in a screen-off 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 the step 111, the target color is a preset screen display color, that is, when entering the screen state, the color preset by the user is obtained as the target color.
In the step 112, the correspondence between the voltage value and the color determined in advance according to the electrochromic property of the electrochromic layer indicates that the electrochromic layer changes from the value to the target color to the required voltage value. Thus, after the target color is determined, the target voltage can be determined as the first voltage based on the correspondence relation.
In step 113, a first voltage is applied between the second electrode and the first electrode, so that the electrochromic layer 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 embodiment is suitable for scenes in which the single electrochromic layer can change different colors through different electric field action change values, and according to the corresponding relation between the target color to be changed and the voltage value, the corresponding first voltage is applied between the second electrode and the first electrode, so that the electrochromic layer can be changed to different color states.
Optionally, in one embodiment, the driving method further includes steps 200 to 300:
step 200, under the condition of receiving a bright screen signal, continuously applying a second voltage between the second electrode and the first electrode for a preset time period so as to enable the electrochromic layer to recover 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 above step 200, when the bright screen signal is received, it is stated 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, it is necessary to restore the electrochromic layer to the black or gray primary color state, so that the second voltage between the second electrode and the first electrode is maintained for a preset period of time, and because the second voltage is equal to the first voltage and opposite to the first voltage, the electrochromic layer can be restored from the target color state to the primary color state.
The electrochromic layer needs to continuously act for a preset time period under the color-changing voltage to complete the color-changing reaction, so that the second voltage needs to be controlled to continuously act for a preset time period when the electrochromic layer is controlled to restore to the original color, and the electrochromic layer can receive the electric field action corresponding to the second voltage for the preset time period to complete the color-changing reaction. The predetermined time period is determined by the electrochromic material in the electrochromic layer.
