The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular, to a display panel and a display device.
With the increasing use of display devices, users have higher and higher requirements for the quality of display images. However, in the related art, reflection of external ambient light may affect the quality of the display image of the display device, thereby affecting the display effect. Therefore, a solution is urgently needed.
In view of this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel and a display device, which can reduce an influence of reflection of external ambient light on the display image and improve the display effect.
In an aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display panel, including a light-emitting device layer, an anti-reflection layer and an encapsulation layer. The encapsulation layer is located at a side of the light-emitting device layer facing a light-exiting surface of the display panel, the anti-reflection layer is located between the light-emitting device layer and the encapsulation layer, and the anti-reflection layer is configured to reduce reflection of ambient light by the display panel. The anti-reflection layer includes a metal layer and a dielectric layer, the metal layer includes a first sub-metal layer and a second sub-metal layer that are stacked, the dielectric layer includes a first sub-dielectric layer located between the first sub-metal layer and the second sub-metal layer; and a refractive index of the dielectric layer is greater than 1.3.
In another aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display device, including a display panel. The display panel includes a light-emitting device layer, an anti-reflection layer and an encapsulation layer. The encapsulation layer is located at a side of the light-emitting device layer facing a light-exiting surface of the display panel, the anti-reflection layer is located between the light-emitting device layer and the encapsulation layer, and the anti-reflection layer is configured to reduce reflection of ambient light by the display panel. The anti-reflection layer includes a metal layer and a dielectric layer, the metal layer includes a first sub-metal layer and a second sub-metal layer that are stacked, the dielectric layer includes a first sub-dielectric layer located between the first sub-metal layer and the second sub-metal layer; and a refractive index of the dielectric layer is greater than 1.3.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the anti-reflection layer includes a first sub-metal layer, a first sub-dielectric layer, and a second sub-metal layer that are stacked, so that a plasmon effect can be formed at an interface between the first sub-metal layer and the first sub-dielectric layer, and a plasmon effect can be formed at an interface between the second sub-metal layer and the first sub-dielectric layer. When external ambient light enters the anti-reflection layer, the reflected light in a certain wave band reflected from the multiple interfaces of the anti-reflection layer can interfere to counteract, thereby reducing transmission and reflection of external ambient light, and thus reducing an influence of reflection of external ambient light on the display image and improving the display effect of the display panel.
In addition, the refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer is greater than 1.3, so that resonant tunneling can be formed in the anti-reflection layer, thereby allowing light in a specific wave band to pass through the anti-reflection layer, and thus ensuring that light emitted from the light-emitting device layer can pass through the anti-reflection layer and normally emit out, thereby avoiding that the anti-reflection layer affects the display of the display panel.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display panel 01, as shown in
As shown in
The metal layer 131 includes a first sub-metal layer 1311 and a second sub-metal layer 1312. The dielectric layer 132 includes a first sub-dielectric layer 1321 located between the first sub-metal layer 1311 and the second sub-metal layer 1312. That is, in the anti-reflection layer 13, the first sub-metal layer 1311, the first sub-dielectric layer 1321, and the second sub-metal layer 1312 can be stacked. In an example, the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 is formed on the first sub-metal layer 1311 after the first sub-metal layer 1311 is formed, and the second sub-metal layer 1312 is formed on the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 after the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 is formed.
The refractive index of the dielectric layer 132 is greater than 1.3. The refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 is greater than 1.3.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the anti-reflection layer 13 includes the first sub-metal layer 1311, the first sub-dielectric layer 1321, and the second sub-metal layer 1312 that are stacked. A plasmon effect can be formed at an interface between the first sub-metal layer 1311 and the first sub-dielectric layer 1321, and a plasmon effect can be formed at an interface between the second sub-metal layer 1312 and the first sub-dielectric layer 1321. When external ambient light enters the anti-reflection layer 13, the reflected light in a certain wave band reflected from the multiple interfaces of the anti-reflection layer 13 can interfere to counteract, thereby reducing transmission and reflection of the external ambient light. In this way, it can reduce an influence of reflection of the external ambient light on the display image, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 01.
In addition, when the refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 is greater than 1.3, resonant tunneling can be achieved in the anti-reflection layer 13, thereby allowing light in a certain wave band to pass through the anti-reflection layer 13, so that light emitted from the light-emitting device layer 12 can pass through the anti-reflection layer 13 to normally emit out, and thus avoiding the anti-reflection layer 13 from affecting the display image of the display panel 01.
The wave band of the light that can pass through the anti-reflection layer 13 can be changed by adjusting the refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 within the range of the refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321. For example, the refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 can be set to a certain value, so that red light can pass through the anti-reflection layer while green light and blue light cannot pass through the anti-reflection layer 13. Or, the refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 can be set to another certain value, so that green light can pass through the anti-reflection layer 13 while red light and blue light cannot pass through the anti-reflection layer 13.
In addition, the wave band of the light that can pass through the anti-reflection layer 13 can be changed by adjusting the thickness of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 in the anti-reflection layer 13. The wave band of light that can pass through the anti-reflection layer 13 can also be changed by simultaneously adjusting the refractive index and the thickness of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 in the anti-reflection layer 13. The present disclosure can flexibly configure the anti-reflection layer 13 according to the light emitting requirements of the display panel 01.

The display panel 01 further includes a pixel circuit layer 15, which is located between the light-emitting device layer 12 and the substrate 11. The pixel circuit layer 15 includes a pixel circuit XD, which is electrically connected to the driving electrode RE of the light-emitting device FG and is configured to provide a light-emitting driving current for the light-emitting device FG.
The plurality of light-emitting devices FG include a first-color light-emitting device FG1, a second-color light-emitting device FG2, and a third-color light-emitting device FG3. The first-color light-emitting device FG1 emits first-color light, the second-color light-emitting device FG2 emits second-color light, and the third-color light-emitting device FG3 emits third-color light.

In the thickness direction H of the display panel 01, the anti-reflection layer 13 overlaps with at least one of the first-color light-emitting device FG1, the second-color light-emitting device FG2 and the third-color light-emitting device FG3. Further, the anti-reflection layer 13 is configured to transmit light emitted from the light-emitting device FG that overlaps with the anti-reflection layer 13.
That is, in the thickness direction H of the display panel 01, the anti-reflection layer 13 can overlap with any one of the first-color light-emitting device FG1, the second-color light-emitting device FG2, and the third-color light-emitting device FG3; or can overlap with any two of the first-color light-emitting device FG1, the second-color light-emitting device FG2, and the third-color light-emitting device FG3; or can overlap with all three of the first-color light-emitting device FG1, the second-color light-emitting device FG2, and the third-color light-emitting device FG3. The refractive index and/or the thickness of the dielectric layer 132 in the anti-reflection layer 13 can be adjusted, to make the anti-reflection layer 13 be capable of transmitting the light emitted from the light-emitting device FG that overlaps with the anti-reflection layer 13.
It should be noted that
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the anti-reflection layers 13 can overlap with different light-emitting devices FG, thereby being beneficial to increasing the structure diversity of the display panel 01. While reducing the reflection influence of external ambient light, the structure of the anti-reflection layer 13 can be flexibly configured to meet different requirements of the display panel 01.
In an implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to
In an example, the anti-reflection layer 13 can be disposed on the first-color light-emitting device FG1. The anti-reflection layer 13 is formed on the common electrode CA of the first-color light-emitting device FG1 after the common electrode CA is formed. In this case, the anti-reflection layer 13 may not be arranged on the second-color light-emitting device FG2 and the third-color light-emitting device FG3.
Exemplarily, the first-color light-emitting device FG1 is a red light-emitting device.

Exemplarily, the first-color light-emitting device FG1 is a green light-emitting device. In this case, both the first sub-metal layer 1311 and the second sub-metal layer 1312 in the anti-reflection layer 13 can include silver. The refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 is set to be greater than 1.3 and less than or equal to 1.4, and the thickness of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 ranges from 132 nm to 146 nm. The anti-reflection layer 13 can allow transmission of green light, but does not allow transmission of red light and blue light. In an example, the thickness of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 can be set to be 139 nm.
In addition, the thickness of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 can be within a range from 102 nm to 114 nm, and the refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 can be within a range from 1.5 to 1.6.

The refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 is set to be greater than 1.3 and less than or equal to 1.4, and the thickness of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 ranges from 102 nm to 114 nm. The anti-reflection layer 13 can allow transmission of blue light, but does not allow transmission of red light and green light.

In these embodiments of the present disclosure, the anti-reflection layer 13 is configured to transmit light emitted from the first-color light-emitting device FG1, so that the anti-reflection layer 13 can reduce transmission and reflection of external ambient light through the anti-reflection layer 13 without affecting light emission of the first-color light, thereby being beneficial to reducing the influence of external ambient light on the quality of the display image.
As shown in
The color resist layer 16 includes a plurality of color resists CF, which include a second-color resist CF1 and a third-color resist CF2. A black matrix BM is arranged between the second-color resist CF1 and the third-color resist CF2, and the black matrix BM can block external ambient light. A black matrix BM can be disposed between two adjacent color resists CF. In the thickness direction H of the display panel 01, the second-color resist CF1 overlaps with the second-color light-emitting device FG2, and the third-color resist CF2 overlaps with the third-color light-emitting device FG3.

It can be known from the characteristics of the color resist CF that the color resist CF allows light having the same color as the color resist CF to pass through and block light having a different color. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second-color resist CF1 can allow the second-color light to pass through and block light having other colors, thereby reducing incidence and reflection of external ambient light through the second-color resist CF1 while not affecting light emission of the second-color light. The third-color resist CF2 can allow the third-color light to pass through and block light with other colors, thereby reducing incidence and reflection of external ambient light through the third-color resist CF2 while not affecting light emission of the third-color light. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second-color resist CF1, the third-color resist CF2 and the anti-reflection layer 13 that is located at the side of the first-color light-emitting device FG1 away from the substrate 11 cooperate with each other, thereby further reducing transmission and reflection of external ambient light while ensuring that light emitted from the light-emitting device layer 12 can be normally emitted out, thereby improving the display quality of the display panel 01.

The reflection control layer OC and the color resist layer CF can be in contact with a same film layer in the thickness direction H of the display panel 01. A black matrix BM is arranged between the reflection control layer OC and the color resist CF, to prevent external ambient light from entering the interior of the display panel 01 through a region between the reflection control layer OC and the color resist CF, thereby further reducing transmission and reflection of external ambient light.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in

That is, the reflection control layer OC allows the second-color light emitted by the second-color light-emitting device FG2 to pass through, and allows the third-color light emitted by the third-color light-emitting device FG3 to pass through. In this case, the reflection control layer OC may not allow light having a color other than the second color and the third color to pass through.

In this case, the reflection control layer OC can be configured to allow green light and blue light to pass through.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the reflection control layer OC can cooperate with the anti-reflection layer 13 located at a side of the first-color light-emitting device FG1 away from the substrate 11, to further reduce transmission and reflection of external ambient light while ensuring that the light emitted by the light-emitting device layer 12 can be normally emitted out, thereby improving the display quality of the display panel 01.
Moreover, in the manufacture process of the display panel 01, compared with a case shown in
It should be noted that, in the display panel 01, a black matrix BM is arranged between the regions where the first-color light-emitting device FG1, the second-color light-emitting device FG2 and the third-color light-emitting device FG3 are located, thereby further preventing external ambient light from entering the interior of the display panel 01 while not affecting the emission of light emitted by the light-emitting device layer 12, and thus reducing an influence of reflection of external ambient light on the image quality of the display panel 01.

In addition, the anti-reflection layer 13 can transmit light emitted by the first-color light-emitting device FG1, the second-color light-emitting device FG2 and the third-color light-emitting device FG3, so that the anti-reflection layer 13 on the first-color light-emitting device FG1, the second-color light-emitting device FG2 and the third-color light-emitting device FG3 can be integrally formed, thereby being beneficial to simplifying the process and saving the manufacturing cost of the display panel 01.

In this case, the reflection control layer 13 can be configured to transmit each of the first-color light, the second-color light, and the third-color light; or a portion of the reflection control layer 13 overlapping with the first-color light-emitting device FG1 is configured to transmit the first-color light, a portion of the reflection control layer 13 overlapping with the second-color light-emitting device FG2 is configured to transmit the second-color light, and a portion of the reflection control layer 13 overlapping with the third-color light-emitting device FG3 is configured to transmit the third-color light.
In this way, the anti-reflection layer 13 can cooperate with the reflection control layer OC having lower light transmittance, thereby being beneficial to further reducing incidence and reflection of external ambient light, and thus improving the display effect of the display panel 01.
It should be noted that in the display panel 01, a black matrix BM is provided between regions where the first-color light-emitting device FG1, the second-color light-emitting device FG2 and the third-color light-emitting device FG3 are located, and the black matrix BM and the reflection control layer OC can be in contact with a same film layer in the thickness direction H of the display panel 01. It can prevent external ambient light from entering the interior of the display panel 01 while not affecting light emission of the light emitted by the light-emitting device layer 12, thereby reducing an influence of reflection of external ambient light on the image quality of the display panel 01.

Moreover, by configuring the anti-reflection layers overlapping with the light-emitting devices FG having different colors to be different types, it is beneficial to making the first-type anti-reflection layer 131, the second-type anti-reflection layer 132 and the third-type anti-reflection layer 133 have more selective implementations. On the one hand, it is beneficial to reducing the implementation difficulty of the first-type anti-reflection layer 131, the second-type anti-reflection layer 132 and the third-type anti-reflection layer 133; and on the other hand, it is beneficial to increasing the structural diversity of the display panel 01.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
Further, the display panel 01 can further include a lithium fluoride layer LiF disposed on the cap layer CPL, as shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
The common electrode CA is reused as the first sub-metal layer 1311 of the anti-reflection layer 13.
In an example, the common electrode CA includes silver.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the common electrode CA is reused as the first sub-metal layer 1311 of the anti-reflection layer 13, so that when forming the anti-reflection layer 13, there is no need to repeatedly form the first sub-metal layer 1311. In this way, it facilitates simplifying the manufacture process of the display panel 01, and it reduces the number of film layers in the display panel 01, thereby realizing lightness and thinness of the display panel 01.
Still referring to
It has been found through research that the first light extraction layer 17 is usually an organic layer or an inorganic layer, which meets the characteristic requirements of the dielectric layer 132 in the anti-reflection layer 13. In this embodiment, the first light extraction layer 17 is reused as the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 of the anti-reflection layer 13, so that when forming the anti-reflection layer 13, there is no need to repeatedly form the first sub-dielectric layer 1321. In this way, it is beneficial to further simplifying the manufacture process of the display panel 01, and it can further reduce the number of film layers in the display panel 01.
In an example, the first light extraction layer 17 is a cap layer CPL or a lithium fluoride layer LiF.
It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the inorganic layer in the encapsulation layer 14 can be reused as the dielectric layer 132 of the anti-reflection layer 13. Since both the light-emitting device FG and the encapsulation layer 14 are of a multi-layer structure, when the anti-reflection layer 13 reuses the common electrode CA or the inorganic layer of the encapsulation layer 14, the anti-reflection layer 13 is located between the light-emitting device layer 12 and the encapsulation layer 14, meaning that the anti-reflection layer 13 is located between the light emitting layer EM of the light-emitting device FG and the outermost layer of the encapsulation layer 14, and the outermost layer of the encapsulation layer 14 refers to one of the plurality of film layers of the encapsulation layer 14 away from the substrate 11.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sub-metal layer 1311 and the second sub-metal layer 1312 in the anti-reflection layer 13 are made of a same material. For example, both of the first sub-metal layer 1311 and the second sub-metal layer 1312 include silver. In this way, the types of the material in the anti-reflection layer 13 can be reduced, thereby being beneficial to reducing the implementation difficulty of the anti-reflection layer 13.
In addition, in the anti-reflection layer 13, the first sub-metal layer 1311 and the second sub-metal layer 1312 can be made of different materials. For example, the first sub-metal layer 1311 includes silver, and the second sub-metal layer 1312 includes ytterbium. In this way, the structural diversity of the anti-reflection layer 13 can be increased, thereby improving the structural diversity of the display panel 01.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
That is, the anti-reflection layer 13 can include a first sub-metal layer 1311, a second sub-metal layer 1312, and a third sub-metal layer 1313 that are stacked. A first sub-dielectric layer 1321 is provided between the first sub-metal layer 1311 and the second sub-metal layer 1312, and a second sub-dielectric layer 1322 is provided between the second sub-metal layer 1312 and the third sub-metal layer 1313. The refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 is greater than 1.3, and the refractive index the second sub-dielectric layer 1322 is greater than 1.3.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the anti-reflection layer 13 can include multiple interfaces between metal layer 131 and the dielectric layers 132, thereby facilitating formation of a plasmon effect at the multiple interfaces, thereby improving an effect that reflected light in the anti-reflection layer 13 can interfere to counteract, thereby further reducing an influence of reflection of the external ambient light on the display image.
In an example, the third sub-metal layer 1313 and the first sub-metal layer 1311 are made of a same material. Since the first sub-metal layer 1311 and the second sub-metal layer 1312 can be made of a same material, then in the anti-reflection layer 13, the materials of the first sub-metal layer 1311, the second sub-metal layer 1312 and the third sub-metal layer 1313 can all be the same, thereby being beneficial to reducing the types of materials in the anti-reflection layer 13, and reducing the implementation difficulty of the anti-reflection layer 13.
It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the first sub-metal layer 1311, the second sub-metal layer 1312 and the third sub-metal layer 1313 can be made of materials that are different from each other; or two layers of the first sub-metal layer 1311, the second sub-metal layer 1312 and the third sub-metal layer 1313 can be made of a same material, and the remaining one layer of the first sub-metal layer 1311, the second sub-metal layer 1312 and the third sub-metal layer 1313 can be made of a material different from the material of those two layers.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
The transmittance of the light-transmission display region BB is greater than that of the transition display region AB, and the transmittance of the transition display region AB is greater than that of the main display region AA. That is, along a direction from the main display region AA towards the light-transmission display region BB, the light transmittance of the display panel 01 can gradually increase.
As shown in
That is, the thickness of the metal layer 131 of the anti-reflection layer 13 in the main display region AA is greater than that of the metal layer 131 of the anti-reflection layer 13 in the transition display region AB; and the thickness of the metal layer 131 of the anti-reflection layer 13 in the transition display region AB is greater than that of the metal layer 131 of the anti-reflection layer 13 in the light-transmission display region BB. Herein, the thickness of the metal layer 131 of the anti-reflection layer 13 refers to a total thickness of all the metal layers 131 of the anti-reflection layer 13.
It should be noted that,
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the light transmittance of the light-transmission display region BB is larger, thereby ensuring the lighting requirements of the under-screen optical component, and thus improving a working effect of the under-screen optical component. Moreover, the light transmittance of the transition display region AB is set to be greater than that of the main display region AA and less than that of the light-transmission display region BB, thereby avoiding a sudden change of the light transmittance in the display region of the display panel 01, and thus being beneficial to ensuring the display uniformity of the display panel 01.
In addition, in combination with the relationship between the thickness of the metal layer 131 and the light transmittance, the thickness of the metal layer 131 of the anti-reflection layer 13 in the light-transmission display region BB is set to be relatively small, which is beneficial to ensuring the larger light transmittance of the light-transmission display region BB, so as to meet the lighting requirements of the under-screen optical component. Meanwhile, along the direction from the main display region AA towards the light-transmission display region BB, the thickness of the metal layer 131 of the anti-reflection layer 13 gradually decreases. In this way, it can avoid an influence of a sudden change of the thickness of the metal layer 131 on the display image, thereby reducing a visual difference between the main display region AA and the light-transmission display region BB.
Further referring to
Further, along the direction from the main display region AA towards the light-transmission display region BB, the thickness of the reflection control layer OC gradually decreases.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the thickness of the reflection control layer OC in the light-transmission display region BB is smaller, which is beneficial to further ensuring that the light transmittance of the light-transmission display region BB is larger, thereby improving a working effect of the under-screen optical component. Moreover, an influence of a sudden change of the thickness of the reflection control layer OC on the display image can be avoided by setting the thickness of the reflection control layer OC to change gradually, thereby reducing a visual difference between the main display region AA and the light-transmission display region BB.
It should be noted that, when the color resist CF is provided in the display panel 01, the thickness of the color resist CF can be set to gradually decrease along the direction from the main display region AA towards the light-transmission display region BB.
As shown in
In the display device 02, the anti-reflection layer 13 includes the first sub-metal layer 1311, the first sub-dielectric layer 1321, and the second sub-metal layer 1312 that are stacked, a plasmon effect can be formed at an interface between the first sub-metal layer 1311 and the first sub-dielectric layer 1321, and a plasmon effect can be formed at an interface between the second sub-metal layer 1312 and the first sub-dielectric layer 1321. When external ambient light enters the anti-reflection layer 13, the reflected light in a certain wave band reflected from the multiple interfaces of the anti-reflection layer 13 can interfere to counteract, thereby reducing transmission and reflection of external ambient light, and thus reducing an influence of reflection of external ambient light on the display image, and improving the display effect of the display panel 01.
In addition, the refractive index of the first sub-dielectric layer 1321 is set to be greater than 1.3, so that resonant tunneling can be formed in the anti-reflection layer 13, thereby allowing light within a specific wave band to pass through the anti-reflection layer 13, and thus ensuring that light emitted from the light-emitting device layer 12 can pass through the anti-reflection layer 13 and normally emit out, and avoiding that the anti-reflection layer 13 affects the display of the display panel 01.
