FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of forming a display area in a method of fabricating a display panel in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIGS. 2A-2C illustrate cross-sectional schematic views of structures formed in different stages of forming a display area in a method of fabricating a display panel in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.

The process of forming the display area in the method of fabricating the display panel will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2A-2C.

At step 102, a substrate 201 is provided as shown in FIG. 2A. It should be understood that FIGS. 2A-2C only show the substrate 201 located in the display area. In some embodiments, the material of the substrate may include, for example, a flexible material such as polyimide (PI).

At step 104, a thin film transistor layer 202 on one side of the substrate 201 is formed as shown in FIG. 2A. The thin film transistor layer 202 has a first opening 10 that exposes a portion of the substrate 201. The thin film transistor layer may include a thin film transistor array, a planarization layer covering the thin film transistor array, and an anode layer on the planarization layer and connected to the thin film transistor array.

At step 106, a light emitting layer 203 is formed on the side of the thin film transistor layer 202 opposite from the substrate 201. Furthermore, an encapsulation layer 204 covering the light emitting layer 203 and the thin film transistor layer 202 are formed, as shown in FIG. 2B. The encapsulation layer 204 has a second opening 20 that exposes a portion of the substrate 201.

In one embodiment, the light emitting layer 203 includes an organic light emitting material layer on the side of the thin film transistor layer 202 opposite from the substrate 201 and a cathode layer on the side of the organic light emitting material layer opposite from the thin film transistor layer 202. In some embodiments, the light emitting layer 203 may further include one or more layers of an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, a hole transport layer, and a hole injection layer. In one embodiment, the light emitting layer 203 may further include a layer such as a LiF layer for improving light extraction efficiency on a side of the cathode layer opposite from the organic light emitting material layer.

The encapsulation layer 204 may include a first inorganic material layer, a second inorganic material layer, and an organic material layer between the first inorganic material layer and the second inorganic material layer.

At step 108, a third opening 30 is formed through the exposed portion of the substrate 201, as shown in FIG. 2C.

Here, the third opening 30 and the second opening 20 connected with the third opening 30 are not used for display. In one embodiment, the formed third opening 30 and second opening 20 can be used to set up a camera.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of orthographic projection of a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening on a substrate in a display area of a display panel. It is to be noted that FIG. 3 shows not only the substrate 201 in the display area, but also the substrate 201′ in the non-display area surrounding the display area. The combination of the substrate 201 and the substrate 201′ constitutes the substrate of the display panel.

For convenience of explanation, the orthographic projection of the first opening 10 on the substrate 201 is hereinafter referred to as a first projection 10′, the orthogonal projection of the second opening 20 on the substrate 201 is referred to as a second projection 20′, and the orthographic projection of the third opening 30 on the substrate 201 is referred to as a third projection 30′. Here, the second projection 20′ covers the third projection 30′.

In some embodiments, the first projection 10′ covers the second projection 20′, and the area of the first projection 10′ can be larger than the area of the second projection 20′. In some embodiments, the shape of the first projection 10′, the second projection 20′, and the third projection 30′ may be selected from one or more of a circle (as shown in FIG. 3), an ellipse, a square, and the like.

In the above embodiments, the size of the third opening of the substrate in the display area is not larger than the size of the second opening of the encapsulation layer in the display area. In such a structure, the encapsulation layer covers the edge of the light-emitting layer facing the first opening, thereby preventing moisture from entering the light-emitting layer through the edge of the light-emitting layer closer to the first opening. As a result, the display effect of the display panel is improved.

FIGS. 4A-4H illustrate cross-sectional schematic views of structures formed in different stages of forming a display area in a method of fabricating a display panel in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIGS. 4E′-4H′ illustrate cross-sectional schematic views of structures formed in different stages of forming a display area in a method of fabricating a display panel in accordance with some other embodiments of the present disclosure.

First, as shown in FIG. 4A, a substrate 201 is provided, and a thin film transistor layer 202 is formed on a side of the substrate 201.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, at least one dam 301 located on the side of the thin film transistor layer 202 opposite from the substrate 201 is formed. The dam can block the flow of the organic material in the subsequently formed encapsulation layer during the preparation process to prevent the organic material from flowing to the side of the dam near the first opening 10.

For example, the dam 301 may include a first dam 311 and a second dam 321 located on a side of the first dam 311 opposite from the first opening 10. In some embodiments, the height of the first dam 311 is greater than the height of the second dam 321, so that the flow of organic material can be better blocked.

In some embodiments, the first dam 311 may include one or more of the following layers of material stacked from bottom to top: a planarization layer (PLN layer), a pixel defining layer (PDL layer), and a photoresist supporting layer (PS layer). In some embodiments, the second dam 321 can include one or more of the following layers of material stacked from bottom to top: a pixel defining layer and a photoresist supporting layer. That is, in the process of forming the planarization layer, the pixel defining layer, and the photoresist supporting layer of the display panel, the first dam 311 and the second dam 321 may be formed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4C, a light emitting material layer 302 is deposited on the structure shown in FIG. 4B. It should be understood that the light emitting material layer 302 is deposited on the thin film transistor layer 202, on the surfaces of the first dam 311 and the second dam 321, and on the bottom and sidewalls of the first opening 10.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4D, a first inorganic material layer 303 is formed on a side of the light emitting material layer 302 opposite from the substrate 201. The first inorganic material layer 303 can be formed, for example, by chemical vapor deposition or the like.

Next, an etching process is performed. In some implementations, as shown in FIG. 4E, the etching process can remove portions of the light emitting material layer 302 and the first inorganic material layer 303 that are located inside the first opening 10. Other portions of the light emitting material layer 302 and the first inorganic material layer 303 may remain.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4E′, the etching process may keep portions of the light emitting material layer 302 and the first inorganic material layer 303 at one side of the second dam 321 away from the first opening 10 while removing other portions thereof. In some embodiments, the portion of the light emitting material layer 302 and the first inorganic material layer 303 located on the side surface of the second dam 321 opposite from the first opening 10 may also be removed. As a result, only portions of the light emitting material layer 302 and the first inorganic material layer 303 located on the thin film transistor layer 202 remain.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4E′, the etching process may cause portions of the light emitting material layer 302 and the first inorganic material layer 303 located on one side surface of the second dam 321 opposite from the first opening 10 to remain, and other portions thereof are removed. In some embodiments, the portions of the light emitting material layer 302 and the first inorganic material layer 303 located on the side surface of the second dam 321 opposite from the first opening 10 may also be removed, thereby leaving only portions thereof on the thin film transistor layer 202.

After the etching process is performed, the remaining portion 302A of the light emitting material layer 302A functions as the light emitting layer 203.

In one embodiment, portions of the light emitting material layer 302 and the first inorganic material layer 303 that are not desired to be removed may be blocked by a mask (for example, a photoresist). The light emitting material layer 302 and the first inorganic material layer 303 which are not blocked by the mask are removed by dry etching. Here, when different layers in the light-emitting material layer 302 are removed, the gas corresponding to each layer can be used as an etchant.

In one embodiment, thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4F and FIG. 4F′, an organic material layer 304 is formed. The organic material layer 304 is located on the side of the at least one dam opposite from the first opening 10. The organic material layer 304 is located on the side of the remaining portion 303A of the first inorganic material layer opposite from the substrate 201. Here, in the case where the at least one dam includes the first dam 311 and the second dam 321, the organic material layer is located on a side of the second dam 321 opposite from the first opening 10.

For example, the organic material may be inkjet printed on the remaining portion 303A of the first inorganic material layer to form the organic material layer 304. The first dam 311 and the second dam 321 can block the flow of the organic material during inkjet printing of the organic material.

In one embodiment, thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 4G and 4G′, a second inorganic material layer 305 covering the organic material layer 304, the light emitting layer 203, and the at least one dam (for example, including the first dam 311 and the second dam 321) is formed. The second inorganic material layer 305 has a second opening 20.

Here, the remaining portion 303A of the first inorganic material layer, the organic material layer 304, and the second inorganic material layer 305 constitute the encapsulation layer 204.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 4H and 4H′, a third opening 30 penetrating the exposed portion of the substrate 201 is formed.

For example, the substrate 201 may be cut with a laser to form a third opening 30.

The process of forming a display area in a display panel according to various embodiments of the present disclosure has been described above. The structure of the display area in the display panel according to various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2C, 4H, and 4H′.

The display area further includes a thin film transistor layer 202 on one side of the substrate 201, and the thin film transistor layer 202 has a first opening 10.

The display am further includes a light emitting layer 203 and an encapsulation layer 204 on the side of the thin film transistor layer 202 away from the substrate 201. The encapsulation layer 204 covers the light emitting layer 203 and the thin film transistor layer 202. The encapsulation layer 204 has a second opening 20.

The orthographic projections of the first opening 10, the second opening 20, and the third opening 30 on the substrate 201 are a first projection, a second projection, and a third projection, respectively. The second projection covers the third projection. In some embodiments, the first projection covers the second projection, and the area of the first projection is greater than the area of the second projection.

In other embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 4H and 4H′, the side of the thin film transistor layer 202 opposite from the substrate 201 is further provided with at least one dam 301 surrounding the third opening 30. For example, the first dam 311 and the second dam 321 on the side of the first dam 311 opposite from the third opening 30 are provided. In one embodiment, the height of the first dam 311 may be greater than the height of the second dam 321.

At least a portion of the light emitting layer 203 is located on a side of the at least one dam 301 opposite from the third opening 30.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4H′, the light emitting layer 203 may include a first portion 213 which is located on a side of the second dam 321 opposite from the third opening 30. In one embodiment, the first portion 213 may cover a portion of the surface of the thin film transistor layer 202 and a side surface of the second dam 321 opposite from the first opening 10. In some embodiments, the light emitting layer 203 can include only the first portion 213 covering a portion of the surface of the thin film transistor layer 202.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4H, the light emitting layer 203 may include a second portion 223 in addition to the first portion 213. The second portion 223 may cover at least a portion of the surfaces of the first dam 311 and the second dam 321. In some embodiments, the second portion 223 can be contiguous with the first portion 213. In some embodiments, the second portion 223 may further cover a surface of a portion of the thin film transistor layer 202 between the first dam 311 and the second dam 321 and a surface of the portion of the thin film transistor layer 202 located on the side of the first dam 311 facing the third opening 30.
