透反射式显示面板具有透射显示模式和反射显示模式,在环境光的光强较强时,透反射式显示面板可以采用反射显示模式,以实现显示面板的图像显示。The transflective display panel has a transmissive display mode and a reflective display mode. When the light intensity of the ambient light is strong, the transflective display panel can adopt the reflective display mode to realize the image display of the display panel.
在相关技术中,如图6A和图6B所示,通过在显示基板1’上设置复合光学膜13’,实现透反射式显示面板的图像显示。示例性地,复合光学膜13’包括散射膜15’、波片16’(例如1/2波片或1/4波片)和第一偏光片17’等结构,复合光学膜13’具有一定的提高光线利用率的作用。In the related art, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a composite optical film 13' is provided on the display substrate 1'to realize image display of a transflective display panel. Exemplarily, the composite optical film 13' includes a scattering film 15', a wave plate 16' (such as a 1/2 wave plate or a quarter wave plate), and a first polarizer 17'. The composite optical film 13' has a certain structure The role of improving light utilization.
然而,上述透反射式显示面板的显示基板1’对光线的利用率较低,尤其当户外环境光的光强降低时,上述显示面板就无法实现反射显示模式,使得显示面板的显示效果不好。另外,上述透反射式显示面板中的显示基板1’上的复合光学膜13’,通常价格昂贵,这样增加了生产成本。However, the display substrate 1'of the above-mentioned transflective display panel has a low utilization rate of light, especially when the light intensity of the outdoor ambient light is reduced, the above-mentioned display panel cannot realize the reflective display mode, which makes the display effect of the display panel poor. . In addition, the composite optical film 13' on the display substrate 1'in the above-mentioned transflective display panel is usually expensive, which increases the production cost.
基于此,本公开实施例提供一种显示基板1,如图1A所示,显示基板1包括第一基板11以及散射层13。散射层13设置于第一基板11一侧。Based on this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate 1. As shown in FIG. 1A, the display substrate 1 includes a first substrate 11 and a scattering layer 13. The scattering layer 13 is disposed on the side of the first substrate 11.
在一些实施例中,如图1B和图1C所示,显示基板1还包括彩色滤光层12。示例性地,彩色滤光层12设置于散射层13靠近或远离第一基板11一侧。In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the display substrate 1 further includes a color filter layer 12. Exemplarily, the color filter layer 12 is disposed on the side of the scattering layer 13 close to or far from the first substrate 11.
示例性地,彩色滤光层12包括多个红色滤光部R、多个绿色滤光部G和多个蓝色滤光部B。Illustratively, the color filter layer 12 includes a plurality of red filter portions R, a plurality of green filter portions G, and a plurality of blue filter portions B.

这样,由于散射层13内设置有光纤芯131,光纤芯131的导光能力强,因此提高了的散射层13对外界环境光的光线导入能力,从而提高了显示基板1的视角亮度(视角亮度为显示基板的可视范围内的各视角的亮度)。因此,即使在环境光较弱时,散射层13也可以帮助具有显示基板1的显示面板实现图像显示,并且增强了上述显示面板的显示效果。In this way, since the optical fiber core 131 is provided in the scattering layer 13, the optical fiber core 131 has a strong light guiding ability. Therefore, the scattering layer 13's light guiding ability to external ambient light is improved, thereby improving the viewing angle brightness of the display substrate 1. Is the brightness of each viewing angle within the visible range of the display substrate). Therefore, even when the ambient light is weak, the scattering layer 13 can help the display panel with the display substrate 1 realize image display, and enhance the display effect of the above-mentioned display panel.
此外,由于显示基板1中的散射层13起到了提高光线导入能力和视角亮度的作用,替代了相关技术中的复合光学膜13’结构,因而不需要在显示基板1以外设置相关技术中的上述结构,降低了生产成本。In addition, since the scattering layer 13 in the display substrate 1 plays the role of improving the light introduction ability and viewing angle brightness, instead of the composite optical film 13' structure in the related art, it is not necessary to provide the above-mentioned in the related art outside the display substrate 1. The structure reduces the production cost.
示例性地,如图1B所示,散射层13设置于彩色滤光层12靠近第一基板11一侧;或者,如图1C所示,散射层13设置于彩色滤光层12远离第一基板11一侧,本公开实施例对此不做限定,以下均以图1A所示的结构为例进行说明。Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 1B, the scattering layer 13 is disposed on the side of the color filter layer 12 close to the first substrate 11; or, as shown in FIG. 1C, the scattering layer 13 is disposed on the color filter layer 12 away from the first substrate. On the side 11, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this, and the structure shown in FIG. 1A is used as an example for description below.
在一些实施例中,多个光纤芯131的轴向中心线m与第一基板11的法线n之间的夹角α的大小不完全相等。这样,增多了散射层13的出光视角,从而优化了散射层13的出光视角,并提高了散射层13的视角亮度均一性(视角亮度均一性为显示基板在可视范围内的各视角的亮度的均一性)。In some embodiments, the angle α between the axial centerline m of the plurality of optical fiber cores 131 and the normal line n of the first substrate 11 is not completely the same. In this way, the light-emitting viewing angle of the scattering layer 13 is increased, thereby optimizing the light-emitting viewing angle of the scattering layer 13, and improving the viewing angle brightness uniformity of the scattering layer 13 (the viewing angle brightness uniformity is the brightness of each viewing angle of the display substrate in the visible range Uniformity).
示例性地,如图1A、图1B和图1C所示,多个光纤芯131中的至少一个光纤芯131的轴向中心线m与第一基板11的法线n重合,并且,多个光纤芯131中的至少一个光纤芯131的轴向中心线m与第一基板11的法线n的夹角α为锐角。这样,通过对光纤芯131的设置角度做不同设定,并且使光纤芯131的轴向中心线m与第一基板11的法线n之间的角度较小,强化了入射光射入散射层13的入射角,有利于实现入射光的小角度入射,从而提升了入射光的利用率。Exemplarily, as shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C, the axial center line m of at least one fiber core 131 among the plurality of fiber cores 131 coincides with the normal line n of the first substrate 11, and the plurality of fibers The included angle α between the axial centerline m of at least one fiber core 131 in the core 131 and the normal line n of the first substrate 11 is an acute angle. In this way, by setting the installation angle of the optical fiber core 131 differently, and making the angle between the axial centerline m of the optical fiber core 131 and the normal line n of the first substrate 11 smaller, the incident light entering the scattering layer is strengthened. The incident angle of 13 is conducive to achieving a small angle of incident light, thereby improving the utilization of incident light.
示例性地,显示基板1包括多个子像素区域(例如红色子像素区域、绿色子像素区域或者蓝色子像素区域)。散射层13在每个子像素区域中均包括多个光纤芯131。Exemplarily, the display substrate 1 includes a plurality of sub-pixel regions (for example, a red sub-pixel region, a green sub-pixel region, or a blue sub-pixel region). The scattering layer 13 includes a plurality of fiber cores 131 in each sub-pixel area.
需要说明的是,图1A仅以一个子像素区域为例进行示意。在每个子像素区域中,如图1A所示,散射层13包括多个光纤芯131,位于该子像素区域的平分线c处的光纤芯131的轴向中心线m与第一基板11的法线n重合,位于该子像素区域的平分线c两侧的光纤芯131的轴向中心线m与第一基板11的法线n的夹角α为锐角,并且平分线c两侧的光纤芯131以平分线c为对称轴呈对称设置。这样,散射层13的出光视角更好,散射层13的视角亮度均一性也更好。It should be noted that FIG. 1A only uses one sub-pixel area as an example for illustration. In each sub-pixel area, as shown in FIG. 1A, the scattering layer 13 includes a plurality of optical fiber cores 131. The axial center line m of the optical fiber core 131 at the bisecting line c of the sub-pixel area and the method of the first substrate 11 The line n overlaps, the angle α between the axial center line m of the optical fiber core 131 on both sides of the bisector c of the sub-pixel area and the normal line n of the first substrate 11 is an acute angle, and the optical fiber cores on both sides of the bisector c 131 is symmetrically arranged with the bisector c as the axis of symmetry. In this way, the light-emitting viewing angle of the scattering layer 13 is better, and the viewing angle brightness uniformity of the scattering layer 13 is also better.
此外,在每个子像素区域中,多个光纤芯131也可以无特定规则设置,只要确保各光纤芯131的轴向中心线m与第一基板11的法线n重合,或者二者之间的夹角α为锐角,即可。本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。In addition, in each sub-pixel area, a plurality of optical fiber cores 131 can also be arranged without specific rules, as long as the axial center line m of each optical fiber core 131 coincides with the normal line n of the first substrate 11, or the difference between the two The angle α is an acute angle, and that is enough. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this.
在一些实施例中,多个光纤芯131中的至少一个光纤芯131的轴向中心线m与第一基板11的法线n之间的夹角α小于或等于15度。这样,更加有利于实现入射光的小角度入射,小角度入射的入射光不易在某一膜层内发生全反射,从而避免了因发生全反射而产生损耗,进而提升了显示基板1对入射光的利用率。In some embodiments, the angle α between the axial centerline m of at least one optical fiber core 131 of the plurality of optical fiber cores 131 and the normal line n of the first substrate 11 is less than or equal to 15 degrees. In this way, it is more conducive to realize the incident light at a small angle, and the incident light at a small angle is not easy to be totally reflected in a certain film, thereby avoiding loss due to total reflection, and improving the display substrate 1 to the incident light. Utilization rate.

示例性地,在显示基板1包括彩色滤光层12的情况下,以在制作彩色滤光层12的步骤之前制作散射层13为例进行示意。Illustratively, in the case where the display substrate 1 includes the color filter layer 12, it is taken as an example to make the scattering layer 13 before the step of manufacturing the color filter layer 12.
如图5A所示,在制作彩色滤光层12的步骤之前制作多个散射块133。本公开实施例对散射块133的形状不做限定,例如,散射块133的横截面的形状为梯形(如图5A所示)、长 方形、正方形或者其他规则或不规则图形。As shown in FIG. 5A, a plurality of scattering blocks 133 are produced before the step of producing the color filter layer 12. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the shape of the scattering block 133. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the scattering block 133 is trapezoidal (as shown in FIG. 5A), rectangle, square, or other regular or irregular figures.

示例性地,在载体132未固化之前,将多个光纤芯131***载体132,***之后对载体132进行固化。其中,在将多个光纤芯131***载体132时,可以将光纤芯131按照预设角度***,这样可以确保光纤芯131的轴向中心线与第一基板11的法线重合或者二者之间的夹角为锐角,使得光纤芯131的取向性更好,从而有利于实现入射光的小角度射入显示基板1,进而提升了显示基板1对于入射光的利用率。Illustratively, before the carrier 132 is not cured, a plurality of optical fiber cores 131 are inserted into the carrier 132, and the carrier 132 is cured after insertion. Wherein, when multiple optical fiber cores 131 are inserted into the carrier 132, the optical fiber cores 131 can be inserted at a preset angle, which can ensure that the axial center line of the optical fiber core 131 coincides with the normal line of the first substrate 11 or between the two The included angle is an acute angle, which makes the orientation of the optical fiber core 131 better, thereby facilitating a small angle of incident light to enter the display substrate 1, thereby improving the utilization rate of the display substrate 1 for incident light.

本公开实施例的显示基板的制作方法,操作简单,易于应用于大规模生产。The manufacturing method of the display substrate of the embodiment of the present disclosure has simple operation and is easy to be applied to mass production.
综上,由于显示基板1包括散射层13,使得显示基板1具有较高的光线利用率、视角亮度以及视角亮度均一性,将显示基板1应用于各式显示面板中,例如透反射式显示面板、反射式显示面板等,可以很好的实现显示面板的图像显示,并增强了显示面板的显示效果。In summary, since the display substrate 1 includes the scattering layer 13, the display substrate 1 has high light utilization, viewing angle brightness, and viewing angle brightness uniformity. The display substrate 1 is applied to various display panels, such as transflective display panels. , Reflective display panels, etc., which can well realize the image display of the display panel and enhance the display effect of the display panel.
然而,对于透反射式显示面板,若环境光的光强继续减弱,可能使得环境光不足以支持透反射式显示面板实现反射显示模式。在此情况下,可以选择显示面板的透射显示模式进行显示。However, for the transflective display panel, if the light intensity of the ambient light continues to decrease, the ambient light may not be sufficient to support the transflective display panel to realize the reflective display mode. In this case, the transmissive display mode of the display panel can be selected for display.
相关技术中,如图6A和图6B所示,透反射式显示面板10’包括显示基板1’、液晶层2’、对置基板3’以及背光源4’。对置基板3’上具有开孔,以使背光源4’发出的光能够通过开孔穿过对置基板3’,到达液晶层2’。对置基板3’靠近背光源4’的一侧设置有第二偏光片18’。In the related art, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a transflective display panel 10' includes a display substrate 1', a liquid crystal layer 2', a counter substrate 3', and a backlight 4'. The counter substrate 3'has an opening so that the light emitted by the backlight 4'can pass through the counter substrate 3'through the opening and reach the liquid crystal layer 2'. A second polarizer 18' is provided on the side of the counter substrate 3'close to the backlight 4'.
当环境光强较弱,致使透反射式显示面板无法采用反射显示模式来实现图像显示目的时,通过背光源4’发光,背光源4’发出的光线通过对置基板3’上的开孔射出,以帮助实现透射显示模式下的图像显示。When the ambient light intensity is weak and the transflective display panel cannot use the reflective display mode to achieve the image display purpose, the backlight 4'emits light, and the light emitted by the backlight 4'is emitted through the opening on the opposite substrate 3' , To help realize the image display in transmissive display mode.
示例性地,当环境光强较强时,通过对置基板3’上的薄膜晶体管驱动液晶层2’中的液晶偏转呈现透光态,使得入射光线可穿过液晶层2’,利用反射层32’对入射光线的反射实现反射模式的显示。当环境光强较弱时,通过薄膜晶体管控制液晶层2’中的液晶偏转呈现透光态,利用背光源4’发出光线,并通过对置基板3’上的开孔穿过液晶层2’,的光线进实现透射模式的显示。当不需要进行显示时,薄膜晶体管对液晶层20不进行驱动,此时液晶层2’不会驱动液晶层2’中的液晶偏转,并呈现非透光态,即光线无法穿过液晶层2’。需要说明的是,图6A示出了显示模组为亮态(即液晶层为透光 态)的结构;图6B示出了显示模组为暗态(即液晶层为非透光态)的结构。Exemplarily, when the ambient light is strong, the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 2'is driven by the thin film transistor on the counter substrate 3'to deflection to present a light-transmitting state, so that the incident light can pass through the liquid crystal layer 2', and the reflective layer 32' reflects the incident light to realize the display of reflection mode. When the ambient light intensity is weak, the deflection of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 2'is controlled by the thin film transistor to present a light-transmitting state, and the backlight 4'emits light, and passes through the liquid crystal layer 2'through the opening on the opposite substrate 3' , The light enters the display in transmission mode. When the display is not required, the thin film transistor does not drive the liquid crystal layer 20. At this time, the liquid crystal layer 2'will not drive the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 2'to deflect, and present a non-transmissive state, that is, light cannot pass through the liquid crystal layer 2. '. It should be noted that FIG. 6A shows the structure of the display module in a bright state (that is, the liquid crystal layer is in a light-transmitting state); FIG. 6B shows the display module in a dark state (that is, the liquid crystal layer is in a non-transmitting state). structure.
参考图6A和图6B所示,相关技术中的透反式显示模组由于需要用到背光源4’,这样会使得整个显示模组厚度较厚,难以实现薄型化。As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the transflective display module in the related art requires the backlight source 4', which makes the entire display module thicker and difficult to achieve thinner.
基于此,本公开实施例提供一种显示面板,如图7A和图7B所示,显示面板10包括如上述任一实施例所述的显示基板1、液晶层2和对置基板3。对置基板3与显示基板1相对设置,液晶层2设置于对置基板3和显示基板1之间。Based on this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display panel. As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the display panel 10 includes the display substrate 1, the liquid crystal layer 2 and the counter substrate 3 described in any of the above embodiments. The counter substrate 3 is disposed opposite to the display substrate 1, and the liquid crystal layer 2 is disposed between the counter substrate 3 and the display substrate 1.
示例性地,液晶层2中的液晶可以选用无手性剂或者有手性剂的液晶,液晶层2的厚度为1μm~3μm。例如,液晶层2的厚度为1μm、2μm或者3μm。Exemplarily, the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 2 can be a liquid crystal with no chiral agent or a chiral agent, and the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 2 is 1 μm to 3 μm. For example, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 2 is 1 μm, 2 μm, or 3 μm.
示例性地,在显示面板10采用电控双折射(Electrically Controlled Birefringence,ECB)模式进行显示时,不需要液晶层2中的液晶具有旋光性,在此情况下,可以选用无手性剂的液晶。在显示面板10采用扭曲向列(Twisted Nematic,TN)模式进行显示时,需要液晶层2中的液晶具有旋光性,在此情况下,可以选用有手性剂的液晶。本公开实施例对此不做限定。Exemplarily, when the display panel 10 adopts the electrically controlled birefringence (Electrically Controlled Birefringence, ECB) mode for display, the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 2 does not need to be optically active. In this case, a liquid crystal without a chiral agent can be selected. . When the display panel 10 adopts a twisted nematic (TN) mode for display, the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 2 needs to be optically active. In this case, a liquid crystal with a chiral agent can be selected. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.
在一些实施例中,显示面板10为透反射式显示面板。显示面板10具有多个像素区域,每个像素区域包括反射区AA和透射区BB。In some embodiments, the display panel 10 is a transflective display panel. The display panel 10 has a plurality of pixel areas, and each pixel area includes a reflective area AA and a transmissive area BB.
在一些实施例中,每个像素区域包括多个子像素区域(例如红色子像素区域、绿色子像素区域或者蓝色子像素区域)。示例性地,每个子像素区域中均具有一个反射区AA和一个透射区BB;或者,每个像素区域包括一个反射区AA和一个透射区BB。本公开实施例对此不做限定,以下以每个子像素区域中具有一个反射区AA和一个透射区BB为例进行示意。In some embodiments, each pixel area includes a plurality of sub-pixel areas (for example, a red sub-pixel area, a green sub-pixel area, or a blue sub-pixel area). Exemplarily, each sub-pixel area has a reflection area AA and a transmission area BB; or, each pixel area includes a reflection area AA and a transmission area BB. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this, and the following takes each sub-pixel area having a reflective area AA and a transmissive area BB as an example for illustration.
如图7A和图7B所示,显示面板10的对置基板3包括第二基板31、反射层32以及发光器件L。反射层32设置于反射区AA内。发光器件L包括依次层叠设置的第一电极33、电致发光部35以及第二电极34。As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the counter substrate 3 of the display panel 10 includes a second substrate 31, a reflective layer 32, and a light emitting device L. The reflective layer 32 is disposed in the reflective area AA. The light emitting device L includes a first electrode 33, an electroluminescent portion 35, and a second electrode 34 that are sequentially stacked.
示例性地,第一电极33为阳极,第二电极34为阴极;或者,第一电极33为阴极,第二电极34为阳极,本公开实施例对此不做限定。Exemplarily, the first electrode 33 is an anode, and the second electrode 34 is a cathode; or, the first electrode 33 is a cathode, and the second electrode 34 is an anode, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
在一些实施例中,如图7A和图7B所示,显示面板10还包括上偏光片17和波片16,上偏光片17设置于显示基板1远离对置基板3的一侧,波片16设置于上偏光片17靠近显示基板1的一侧。示例性地,波片16为半波片。In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the display panel 10 further includes an upper polarizer 17 and a wave plate 16. The upper polarizer 17 is disposed on the side of the display substrate 1 away from the opposite substrate 3, and the wave plate 16 It is arranged on the side of the upper polarizer 17 close to the display substrate 1. Illustratively, the wave plate 16 is a half wave plate.
外界的环境光做为入射光进入上偏光片17后变为线偏振光,线偏振光穿过波片16进入液晶层2。此时,若液晶层2中的液晶为透光态,则穿过波片16后的线偏振光穿过液晶层2,并经过反射层32的反射后,依次穿过液晶层2、波片16和上偏光片17后射出,因此显示面板10呈现亮态。若液晶层2中的液晶为非透光态,则穿过波片16后的线偏振光穿过液晶层2后变为圆偏振光,圆偏振光经过反射层32的反射后,其旋转方向发生变化(例如由左旋光变为右旋光),旋转方向发生变化后的圆偏振光穿过液晶层2后变为线偏振光,线偏振光穿过波片16,在此情况下,穿过波片16的线偏振光的偏振方向与上偏光片17的透过轴的方向不同,线偏振光不能穿过上偏光片17并射出,因此显示面板10呈现暗态。The external ambient light enters the upper polarizer 17 as incident light and becomes linearly polarized light, and the linearly polarized light passes through the wave plate 16 and enters the liquid crystal layer 2. At this time, if the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 2 is in a light-transmitting state, the linearly polarized light after passing through the wave plate 16 passes through the liquid crystal layer 2, and after being reflected by the reflective layer 32, it sequentially passes through the liquid crystal layer 2 and the wave plate. 16 and the upper polarizer 17 are emitted, so the display panel 10 is in a bright state. If the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 2 is in a non-transmissive state, the linearly polarized light after passing through the wave plate 16 passes through the liquid crystal layer 2 and becomes circularly polarized light. After the circularly polarized light is reflected by the reflective layer 32, its rotation direction Changes (for example, from left-handed light to right-handed light), the circularly polarized light after the change in the rotation direction passes through the liquid crystal layer 2 and then becomes linearly polarized light, and the linearly polarized light passes through the wave plate 16, in this case, The polarization direction of the linearly polarized light passing through the wave plate 16 is different from the direction of the transmission axis of the upper polarizer 17. The linearly polarized light cannot pass through the upper polarizer 17 and exit, so the display panel 10 presents a dark state.
这样,本公开的显示面板10只需设置上偏光片17,不需要在对置基板3远离显示基板1的一侧设置下偏光片,就可以实现显示,简化了显示面板10的结构,有利于实现显示面板10的轻薄化,并节约了成本。In this way, the display panel 10 of the present disclosure only needs to be provided with the upper polarizer 17 and does not need to be provided with the lower polarizer on the side of the counter substrate 3 away from the display substrate 1 to realize display, which simplifies the structure of the display panel 10 and is beneficial to The display panel 10 is thinner and lighter, and the cost is saved.

The pixel electrode 40 is configured to cooperate with the transparent electrode layer 14 of the display substrate 1 to form an electric field under the control of the thin film transistor 36 to drive the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 2 to deflect.
示例性地,反射层32的材料包括导电材料,例如,反射层32的材料包括金属材料(例如银、铝等)。Exemplarily, the material of the reflective layer 32 includes a conductive material, for example, the material of the reflective layer 32 includes a metal material (for example, silver, aluminum, etc.).

在一些示例中,如图8所示,发光器件L的第一电极33可以与薄膜晶体管36中的源极361耦接;或者,如图9所示,发光器件L的第一电极33也可以不与薄膜晶体管36中的源极361耦接,本公开实施例对此不做限定。In some examples, as shown in FIG. 8, the first electrode 33 of the light emitting device L may be coupled to the source 361 of the thin film transistor 36; or, as shown in FIG. 9, the first electrode 33 of the light emitting device L may also be It is not coupled to the source 361 of the thin film transistor 36, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
例如,第一电极33与薄膜晶体管36中的源极361耦接, 源极361与数据线耦接,数据线连接外部的控制电路。这样,相当于第一电极33通过源极361和数据线与外部的控制电路耦接,以便于控制电路向第一电极33施加电信号,并简化了布线。在此情况下,第二电极34可以通过连接线与外部的控制电路耦接,以通过第一电极33和第二电极34实现对发光器件L的控制。示例性地,如图8所示,发光器件L的第一电极33可以通过过孔37与薄膜晶体管36的源极361耦接。For example, the first electrode 33 is coupled to the source electrode 361 of the thin film transistor 36, the source electrode 361 is coupled to a data line, and the data line is connected to an external control circuit. In this way, it is equivalent to that the first electrode 33 is coupled to an external control circuit through the source electrode 361 and the data line, so that the control circuit applies an electric signal to the first electrode 33 and simplifies the wiring. In this case, the second electrode 34 may be coupled to an external control circuit through a connecting wire, so as to control the light emitting device L through the first electrode 33 and the second electrode 34. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 8, the first electrode 33 of the light emitting device L may be coupled with the source electrode 361 of the thin film transistor 36 through a via 37.
再如,发光器件L的第一电极33不与薄膜晶体管36中的源极361耦接,在此情况下,发光器件L的第一电极33可以通过连接线直接与外部的控制电路耦接。For another example, the first electrode 33 of the light emitting device L is not coupled to the source 361 of the thin film transistor 36. In this case, the first electrode 33 of the light emitting device L can be directly coupled to an external control circuit through a connecting wire.
示例性地,第一电极33可以是阳极或者阴极,本公开实施例对此不做限定。Exemplarily, the first electrode 33 may be an anode or a cathode, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

在一些实施例中,如图8和图9所示,对置基板3还包括参考电极38和保护层39。参考电极38设置于反射层32与第二基板31之间、及发光器件L与第二基板31之间。其中,保护层39包括第一保护层391和第二保护层392。第一保护层391设置于参考电极38与反射层32之间、及参考电极38与发光器件L的第一电极之间。第二保护层392设置于参考电极38与薄膜晶体管36之间。示例性地,保护层39的材料为绝缘材料。In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the counter substrate 3 further includes a reference electrode 38 and a protective layer 39.

The second protection layer 392 is disposed between the reference electrode 38 and the thin film transistor 36. Illustratively, the material of the protective layer 39 is an insulating material.
示例性地,参考电极38可以与发光器件L的第二电极34耦接;或者,参考电极38也可以不与发光器件L的第二电极34耦接。本公开实施例对此不做限定。Exemplarily, the reference electrode 38 may be coupled with the second electrode 34 of the light emitting device L; or, the reference electrode 38 may not be coupled with the second electrode 34 of the light emitting device L. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.
需要说明的是,参考电极38用于提供基准电压。在参考电极38与发光器件L的第二电极34耦接的情况下,参考电极38向第二电极34传输基准电压。此时,发光器件L的第一电 极33可以通过连接线与外部的控制电路耦接。这样,通过第一电极33和第二电极34实现对发光器件L的控制。It should be noted that the reference electrode 38 is used to provide a reference voltage. In the case where the reference electrode 38 is coupled to the second electrode 34 of the light emitting device L, the reference electrode 38 transmits a reference voltage to the second electrode 34. At this time, the first electrode 33 of the light-emitting device L may be coupled to an external control circuit through a connecting wire. In this way, the control of the light emitting device L is achieved through the first electrode 33 and the second electrode 34.
此外,参考电极38不与发光器件L的第二电极34耦接的情况下,第二电极34可以通过连接线与外部的控制电路耦接,由控制电路直接向发光器件L的第二电极34发送电信号。此时,发光器件L的第一电极33可以通过连接线与外部的控制电路耦接,或者,第一电极33也可以与薄膜晶体管36中的源极361耦接。这样,通过第一电极33和第二电极34实现对发光器件L的控制。In addition, when the reference electrode 38 is not coupled to the second electrode 34 of the light emitting device L, the second electrode 34 can be coupled to an external control circuit through a connecting wire, and the control circuit directly connects to the second electrode 34 of the light emitting device L. Send electrical signals. At this time, the first electrode 33 of the light emitting device L may be coupled to an external control circuit through a connecting wire, or the first electrode 33 may also be coupled to the source 361 of the thin film transistor 36. In this way, the control of the light emitting device L is achieved through the first electrode 33 and the second electrode 34.
示例性地,参考电极38与发光器件L的第二电极34耦接的情况下,如果第二电极34为阳极,则各子像素区域中的发光器件L共阳极,每个子像素区域中的发光器件L的阴极通过外部的控制电路被提供单独的电信号;或者,如果第二电极34为阴极,则各子像素区域中的发光器件L共阴极,每个子像素区域中的发光器件L的阳极通过外部的控制电路被提供单独的电信号。这样,可以简化对置基板3中的布线。Exemplarily, when the reference electrode 38 is coupled to the second electrode 34 of the light emitting device L, if the second electrode 34 is an anode, the light emitting device L in each sub-pixel area shares the anode, and the light emission in each sub-pixel area The cathode of the device L is provided with a separate electrical signal through an external control circuit; or, if the second electrode 34 is a cathode, the light-emitting device L in each sub-pixel area shares the cathode, and the anode of the light-emitting device L in each sub-pixel area A separate electrical signal is provided through an external control circuit. In this way, the wiring in the counter substrate 3 can be simplified.
如图7A和图7B所示,本公开实施例的显示面板10为透反射式显示面板,可以实现透射显示模式下和反射显示模式下的图像显示。As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the display panel 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is a transflective display panel, which can realize image display in a transmissive display mode and a reflective display mode.
示例性地,在反射显示模式下,反射区AA内,外界环境光作为入射光射入显示基板1,进入到液晶层2。控制电路选中需要被点亮的子像素后,控制需要被点亮的子像素中的薄膜晶体管36驱动该子像素区域的液晶层2中的液晶偏转,如图7A所示。液晶层20中的液晶经过偏转后呈现透光态,入射光经过液晶层2入射到反射层32。入射光经过反射层32的反射后,再穿过液晶层2、显示基板1射出,这样,需要被点亮的子像素被点亮。Illustratively, in the reflective display mode, in the reflective area AA, ambient light enters the display substrate 1 as incident light and enters the liquid crystal layer 2. After the control circuit selects the sub-pixel to be illuminated, it controls the thin film transistor 36 in the sub-pixel to be illuminated to drive the liquid crystal deflection in the liquid crystal layer 2 in the sub-pixel area, as shown in FIG. 7A. The liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 20 presents a light-transmitting state after being deflected, and incident light enters the reflective layer 32 through the liquid crystal layer 2. After the incident light is reflected by the reflective layer 32, it passes through the liquid crystal layer 2 and the display substrate 1 and exits, so that the sub-pixels that need to be lighted are lighted.
例如,控制电路通过对需要被点亮的子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管36的控制,来选中需要被点亮的子像素。For example, the control circuit selects the sub-pixels that need to be lighted by controlling the thin film transistors 36 in the sub-pixel regions that need to be lighted.
与此同时,不需要被点亮的子像素中的薄膜晶体管36没 有被控制电路选中,所以不会驱动该子像素区域的液晶层2中的液晶偏转,如图7B所示,液晶层20中的液晶呈现非透光态,这样,不需要被点亮的子像素不会被点亮,也即,不需要被点亮的子像素被关断。At the same time, the thin film transistor 36 in the sub-pixel that does not need to be lit is not selected by the control circuit, so it will not drive the liquid crystal deflection in the liquid crystal layer 2 in the sub-pixel area. As shown in FIG. 7B, the liquid crystal layer 20 The liquid crystal presents a non-transmissive state, so that the sub-pixels that do not need to be illuminated will not be illuminated, that is, the sub-pixels that do not need to be illuminated are turned off.
这样,通过控制需要被点亮的子像素(例如红色子像素R、绿色子像素G或者蓝色子像素B)点亮、不需要被点亮的子像素关断,实现了显示面板10在反射显示模式下的图像显示。In this way, by controlling the sub-pixels that need to be lit (for example, the red sub-pixel R, the green sub-pixel G, or the blue sub-pixel B) to be lit, and the sub-pixels that do not need to be lit are turned off, it is realized that the display panel 10 is reflective. Image display in display mode.
示例性地,在透射显示模式下,透射区BB内,若第一电极33和第二电极34之间形成电压差,则可以开启发光器件L,并激发电致发光部35发出激发光。该激发光经过呈透光态的液晶层20后,经由显示基板1出射。这样,实现了显示面板10在透射模式下的图像显示。Exemplarily, in the transmissive display mode, in the transmissive area BB, if a voltage difference is formed between the first electrode 33 and the second electrode 34, the light emitting device L can be turned on and the electroluminescent part 35 can be excited to emit excitation light. After the excitation light passes through the liquid crystal layer 20 in a light-transmitting state, it exits through the display substrate 1. In this way, the image display of the display panel 10 in the transmissive mode is realized.
本公开实施例提供的透反射式的显示面板10,由于不需要额外添加背光源来实现透射显示模式的显示,因而可以在实现透反射式显示面板的功能的基础上,实现显示面板10的薄型化,并节约了成本。The transflective display panel 10 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure does not need to add a backlight source to realize the display in the transmissive display mode, and thus can realize the thinness of the display panel 10 on the basis of the function of the transflective display panel. And save costs.
