Description

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of display, In some embodiments to an array substrate and manufacturing method thereof, display panel and display apparatus.

BACKGROUND

With the development of display technology, people have an increasing demand for slimness and flexibility of display panels, which can be met by reducing a thickness of a module.

In the related art, a thickness of a circular polarizer in an array substrate accounts for a larger proportion of a thickness of the entire array substrate. In order to solve this problem, a color filter part is integrated on an encapsulation layer of a light emitting device, replacing the circular polarizer. As a result, the thickness of the module can be greatly reduced. However, for the above-mentioned structure of the array substrate, when external light is irradiated on a display panel in an off-screen state, since a cathode layer in each sub-pixel has a fixed reflection direction for the light irradiated thereon and the sub-pixels in different positions have a fixed reflection direction for the light irradiated thereon, the light reflected back is in a separated state, that is, a phenomenon of color separation of the reflected light occurs, which affects a user's experience of an absolutely black screen.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

A structure of an array substrate in the related art is as shown in FIG. 1, including: a base substrate 01, a pixel driving circuit (including a semiconductor layer P, a gate layer G and a source-drain electrode layer SD) disposed on the base substrate 01, an anode layer A electrically connected with the pixel driving circuit, and a pixel defining layer 02 disposed on the anode layer A. The pixel defining layer 02 has an opening region, a light emitting layer L is in the opening region, a cathode layer 03 covers the pixel defining layer 02 and the opening region as a whole, a black matrix layer BM and color filter parts C are further arranged on a side of the cathode layer 03 facing away from the base substrate 01, and the color filter parts C are arranged in one-to-one correspondence to the opening regions. With regard to the structure of the array substrate shown in FIG. 1, because no circular polarizer is arranged, under an off-screen state, when external light is irradiated on a display panel, the light is irradiated on the cathode layer 03 through the color filter parts C, and the cathode layer 03 reflects the external light; and because of shapes and structural design of sub-pixels, light reflected by the sub-pixels will exit along a fixed direction and the emergent light corresponds to colors of the sub-pixels, resulting in that the light reflected by the sub-pixels at different locations is not well mixed and light of different colors is separated and cannot be well mixed into white light. Such a regular color separation phenomenon is prone to being observed by human eyes, which affects a user's experience of an absolutely black screen.

Based on the above problem existing in the array substrate in the related art, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an array substrate and a manufacturing method thereof, a display panel and a display apparatus. In order to make objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, implementations of the array substrate and the manufacturing method thereof, the display panel and the display apparatus provided by embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described below are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, but are not to limit the present disclosure. Embodiments in the present application and the features in embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

Shapes and dimensions of components in the accompanying drawings do not reflect a real scale, and are only intended to illustrate the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an array substrate. As shown in FIG. 2, the array substrate includes:

a base substrate 1;

a pixel defining layer 2, disposed on a side of the base substrate 1, where the pixel defining layer 2 is provided with a plurality of opening regions a, peripheral regions b surrounding the opening regions a and other regions c except the opening regions a and the peripheral regions b;

a first electrode layer 3, disposed on a side, facing away from the base substrate 1, of the pixel defining layer 2, where a roughness of a surface, facing away from the base substrate 1, of the first electrode layer 3 in the peripheral regions b is greater than a roughness of a surface, facing away from the base substrate 1, of the first electrode layer 3 in the other regions; and

color filter parts C, disposed on a side, facing away from the base substrate 1, of the first electrode layer 3, and the color filter parts C arranged in one-to-one correspondence to the opening regions a; orthographic projections of the color filter parts C on the base substrate 1 cover orthographic projections of the opening regions a on the base substrate 1, and the color filter parts C are configured to filter incident light from outside to the color filter parts C.

For example, the color filter parts C may be red color filter parts filtering red light, or green color filter parts filtering green light, or blue color filter parts filtering blue light; and the color filter parts C corresponding to different opening regions a may filter light of different colors.

In some embodiments, by arranging the roughness of the first electrode layer in the peripheral regions to be larger than the roughness thereof in the other regions, external light reflected by the first electrode layer in a certain direction is reduced, and light irradiated on the first electrode layer in the peripheral regions is subjected to diffuse reflection, i.e. reflected directions of the light are changed, so the emergent light emits from more directions; and therefore, emergent light from adjacent sub-pixels in different directions can be sufficiently mixed to form white light, thereby reducing the color separation phenomenon occurring in the array substrate in the related art.

It should be noted that, in the array substrate provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, the proposed opening regions are effective light emitting regions of the sub-pixels, and the peripheral region corresponding to each opening region refers to a region closely adjacent to a boundary of the opening region and surrounds the opening region by a preset distance. The preset distance needs to be set according to a region covered by a black matrix. That is, light can be irradiated on the first electrode layer through the color filter parts, and regions where the light reflected by the first electrode layer can be emitted through the color filter parts are all within ranges of the peripheral regions. Normally, it needs to be ensured that orthographic projections of the peripheral regions on the base substrate have overlapping regions with an orthographic projection of the black matrix on the base substrate and with orthographic projections of the color filter parts on the base substrate.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the array substrate further includes the black matrix BM and the black matrix BM surrounds at least one of the color filter parts C. For to one of the opening regions a, an orthographic projection of a corresponding peripheral region b on the base substrate 1 has an overlapping region with an orthographic projection of the black matrix BM on the base substrate 1, and the orthographic projection of the peripheral region b on the base substrate 1 has an overlapping region with the orthographic projection of the corresponding color filter part C on the base substrate 1.

In order to ensure light used by the sub-pixels for display can be evenly emitted, the first electrode layer in the opening regions needs to be maintained flat. In the meantime, it should be ensured that the first electrode layer in the other regions in addition to the peripheral regions is flat. That is, large-range unevenness of first electrodes is avoided in order to effectively reduce resistance of the first electrodes, so as to avoid display failure caused by excessively large resistance.

It should be noted that FIG. 1 is illustrated by taking the orthographic projection of the black matrix BM on the base substrate having an overlapping region with the orthographic projections of the color filter parts on the base substrate, which is not limited here. The orthographic projection of the black matrix BM on the base substrate may be non-overlapping with the orthographic projections of the color filter parts on the base substrate, i.e. boundaries of the color filter parts completely overlap with a boundary of the black matrix. A relative position relation between the black matrix and the color filter parts may be selected according to actual condition, which is not limited here.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the peripheral regions b include slope regions b1 connected with the opening regions a and transition regions b2 connected with the slope regions b1.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a roughness of a surface of the pixel defining layer 2 facing away from the base substrate 1 in peripheral regions b is greater than a roughness of a surface of the pixel defining layer 2 facing away from the base substrate 1 in the other regions;

the roughness of the first electrode layer 3 in the peripheral regions b is approximately equal to the roughness of the surface of the pixel defining layer 2 in the peripheral regions b.

In some embodiments, the first electrode layer is often a metal electrode, and in order to ensure that the light used by the sub-pixels for display can be emitted through the first electrode layer, the first electrode layer needs to be arranged to be a translucent and semi-reflective electrode with a relatively small thickness, resulting in certain difficulty in changing its roughness through direct composition. Therefore, composition may be performed through the pixel defining layer which is located below the first electrode layer and is directly adjacent to the first electrode layer so as to change the roughness of the surface of the pixel defining layer, so that when the first electrode layer is formed on the pixel defining layer, the roughness of the first electrode layer is approximately equal to the roughness of the surface of the pixel defining layer, thereby lowering difficulty of a manufacturing process. In some embodiments, due to actual process errors, it is relatively difficult to ensure that the roughness of the first electrode layer is strictly equal to the roughness of the surface of the pixel defining layer, so making the roughness of the first electrode layer to be equal to the roughness of the surface of the pixel defining layer may be understood as making the roughness of the first electrode layer approximately equal to the roughness of the surface of the pixel defining layer.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A, for one of the opening regions a, in a peripheral region b surrounding an opening region a, the pixel defining layer 2 is provided with a plurality of recessed parts 21 surrounding the opening region a;

the recessed parts 21 are arranged in sequence in a direction in which the opening region a points towards the peripheral region b, and a distance between the recessed parts 21 away from the opening region a and the base substrate 1 is larger than or equal to a distance between the recessed parts 21 close to the opening region a and the base substrate 1.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, on a right side of the opening region a, in the direction in which the opening region a points towards the peripheral region b, the distance h2 between the recessed parts 21 relatively close to the opening region a and the base substrate 1 is larger than the distance h1 between the recessed parts 21 relatively away from the opening region a and the base substrate 1.

In some embodiments, the plurality of recessed parts may be formed on the surface of the pixel defining layer in the peripheral region, so as to change the roughness of the pixel defining layer in the peripheral region. Depths of the recessed parts may be set to be equal. Because the pixel defining layer includes a slope transition region and a flat region in the peripheral region, a distance between the recessed parts located in the slope transition region and the base substrate is smaller than a distance between the recessed parts located in the flat region and the base substrate.

The depths of the recessed parts should not be set to be excessively large, because excessively large depths will cause a situation that the first electrode layer is prone to short circuit, or that resistance of the first electrode layer is excessively large. The depths of the recessed parts may be set to be 0.2 μm-1.0 μm, i.e. a distance between an upper surface of each of the recessed parts and a lower surface of each of the recessed parts ranges from 0.2 μm to 1.0 μm. In some embodiments, 0.5 μm or 0.8 μm may be selected according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited here.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4A, a shape defined by orthographic projections of the recessed parts 21 on the base substrate 1 is same as a shape of the orthographic projection of the opening region a on the base substrate 1.

In some embodiments, the shape of the orthographic projections of the recessed parts on the base substrate may be set to be the same as the shape of the orthographic projection of the opening region on the base substrate. For example, the opening region is hexagonal, the shape defined by the orthographic projections of the recessed parts on the base substrate may be set to be hexagonal, so that an area of the peripheral region may be utilized to the greatest extent and more recessed parts may be arranged in the peripheral region, so as to increase the roughness of the pixel defining layer in the peripheral region. Of course, the shape defined by the orthographic projections of the recessed parts on the base substrate may also be set to be different from the shape of the orthographic projection of the opening region on the base substrate, which may be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4A, a central point of the shape defined by the orthographic projections of the recessed parts 21 on the base substrate 1 roughly overlaps with a central point of the orthographic projection of the opening region a on the base substrate 1. In some embodiments, due to actual process errors, it is relatively difficult to ensure that the central point of the shape defined by the orthographic projections of the recessed parts 21 on the base substrate 1 strictly overlaps with the central point of the orthographic projection of the opening region a on the base substrate 1, so making the central point of the shape defined by the orthographic projections of the recessed parts 21 on the base substrate 1 to overlap with the central point of the orthographic projection of the opening region a on the base substrate 1 may be understood as making the central point of the shape defined by the orthographic projections of the recessed parts 21 on the base substrate 1 to roughly overlap with the central point of the orthographic projection of the opening region a on the base substrate 1.

In some embodiments, the central point of the shape defined by the orthographic projections of the recessed parts on the base substrate and the central point of the orthographic projection of the opening region on the base substrate are set to be the same central point, so positions in the peripheral regions at equal distances from the central point are the same in roughness. Therefore, it may be ensured that directions of light reflected different positions in the peripheral regions are changed, so as to increase emission directions of the reflected light.

In some embodiments, a width of the recessed parts, in the direction in which the opening region points towards the peripheral region, ranges from 0.5 μm to 2.5 μm; and

a distance between adjacent recessed parts ranges from 0.5 μm to 2.5 μm.

In some embodiments, in order to avoid the situation that the surface of the pixel defining layer is excessively rough, the resistance of the first electrode layer is increased and display quality is affected, the recessed parts need to be spaced by a certain distance so that the first electrode layer formed on the pixel defining layer can form a smooth wavy structure. The width of the recessed parts and spacing between the recessed parts may be set to be 0.5 μm-2.5 μm, for example, 0.8 μm or 1.5 μm. Of course, a specific value may be selected according to actual needs, which is not limited here.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, each of the recessed part includes a plurality of sub recessed parts 211, and adjacent sub recessed parts 211 are arranged at interval by a preset distance;

a shape defined by orthographic projections of all sub recessed parts 211 on the base substrate 1 is same as the shape of the orthographic projection of the opening region a on the base substrate 1.

In some embodiments, in order to further increase the roughness of the pixel defining layer in the peripheral regions, structures of the recessed parts may be further designed, i.e. the recessed parts are set to include the plurality of sub recessed parts and the adjacent sub recessed parts are arranged at interval by the preset distance. Through the arrangement, a wavy shape can be formed on the surface of the pixel defining layer in the direction in which the opening region points to the peripheral region, and a wavy shape can also be formed in a trend of a shape defined by each recessed part, so the emission directions of the reflected light may be further increased.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the shape defined by the orthographic projections of the sub recessed parts 211 on the base substrate 1 is a circle, a rectangle or an oval.

In some embodiments, in order to facilitate composition, the sub recessed parts may be set to be in the same shape. Of course, they may be set to be in different shapes based on needs, which may be circle, rectangle or any polygon. No limitation is made here.

A distance between adjacent sub recessed parts may range from 0.5 μm to 2.5 μm. In some embodiments, a dimension of one sub recessed part may be set to be equal to a dimension of an adjacent sub recessed part, which may increase evenness of the shape formed, is conducive to smooth transition of the first electrode layer formed subsequently, and avoids a short circuit problem.

In some embodiments, a distance between a boundary of each of peripheral regions away from the opening regions and a boundary of the opening region ranges from 6 μm to 10 μm.

In some embodiments, in the direction in which the opening region points to the peripheral region, a value range of a width of the peripheral region may be 6 μm-10 μm. The width is set according to a distance between a boundary of an opening of the black matrix and the boundary of the opening region, i.e. the distance between the boundary of the opening of the black matrix and the boundary of the opening region is generally 6 μm-10 μm. When the peripheral region is set, the distance between the boundary of the side of the peripheral region away from the opening region and the opening region may be larger than or equal to the distance between the boundary of the opening of the black matrix and the boundary of the opening region. A specific value of the distance may be selected according to actual application conditions, which is not specifically limited here.

It should be noted that, in the array substrate provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 7, besides the opening regions a and the peripheral regions b surrounding the opening regions a, the pixel defining layer further includes the other regions, such as a gap region between two adjacent peripheral regions b.

In some embodiments, parts of the second electrode layer corresponding to the opening regions are partitioned, and are connected to corresponding pixel driving circuits which dive the light emitting layer to emit light in cooperation with voltage applied by the second electrode layer and the first electrode layer. Because the color filter parts are arranged on the array substrate of the present disclosure, the light emitting layer provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may all emit white light, or parts of the light emitting layer corresponding to the opening regions may emit light corresponding to the color filter parts, which may be selected according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

Therefore, the color separation phenomenon of the display panel is reduced and the user's experience of the absolutely black screen is improved.
