The present disclosure relates to a field of display technology, and especially, to a display substrate and a display device.
After the development of thin-film transistor display (TFT-LCD) technology in recent decades, the technology and process thereof have been maturing. This kind of display has replaced the cold cathode diode (CCFL) display, and becomes the leading product in the display field.
At present, the specific steps for forming a liquid crystal cell are as follows: at first, a sealant is coated around a glass substrate, and then a liquid crystal is dropped at the center of another glass substrate using a drip method. After the two glass substrates are laminated by the vacuum lamination, the sealant is finally cured to complete a cell process. In the production process of a LCD panel, in order for liquid crystal molecules to be normally oriented, a layer of polyimide (PI) film needs to be coated on the surface of the array substrate and the color filter substrate, and then a rubbing process is performed on the PI film to realize the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, the PI film coating (Coater) of the array substrate and the color filter substrate is a very important process. The key point of the PI film coating is the APR transfer printing, and the design and fixation of the APR plate has a great influence on the transfer effects of the oriented film.
Nowadays, there is such problem for a variety of products that, when exposed to a pressurization test environment with high temperature and high humidity, the black matrix (BM) on the color filter substrate deforms and is peeled off (which may be caused by insufficient adhesive force). After the peeling of BM, water vapor molecules will infiltrate through cracks and then enter into the display area to form large bubbles, which seriously affect the yield of the product.
The present disclosure aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the art, and provides a display substrate and a display device, wherein the peeling of BM, which causes water vapor to enter into the display area, can be effectively prevented.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is provided a display substrate, comprising: a substrate and a black matrix layer disposed on the substrate, wherein the black matrix layer includes a first black matrix located in a middle region of the display substrate.
The display substrate further includes a sealing member, which is in close abutment with the substrate and is in close abutment with the edge of the first black matrix at the same time. Thus, the edge of the first black matrix is blocked and sealed by the sealing member. Even if peeling occurs at the edge of the first black matrix, water vapor molecules are blocked by the sealing member and cannot enter into the middle region of the display substrate, that is to say, the water vapor cannot enter into the display region of the display substrate, so that the problem of lower product yield due to peeling of the black matrix in the prior art can be solved.
Optionally, the display substrate further includes a protective layer on the side of the black matrix layer facing away from the substrate.
Optionally, a sealant is further provided in the peripheral region of the liquid crystal located above the display substrate.
Optionally, the first black matrix protrudes from the protective layer; the sealing member envelops the outer surface of a protruding portion of the first black matrix, and the sealing member is in close abutment with the edge of the protective layer. Accordingly, the outer surface of the protruding portion of the first black matrix is enveloped by the sealing member, that is, the edge of the first black matrix is blocked by the sealing member. In this state, even if peeling occurs at the edge of the first black matrix, water vapor molecules are blocked by the sealing member and cannot enter into the middle region of the display substrate (that is, the water vapor cannot enter into the display region of the display substrate), so that the problem of lower product yield due to peeling of the black matrix in the prior art can be solved.
Optionally, the sealing member and the sealant are integrally formed. Accordingly, the preparation process of the display substrate can be simplified; the preparation cost can be reduced; and the adhesive force between the sealant and the substrate can be enhanced, so that the sealability of the sealing member to the edge of the first black matrix can be further improved.
Optionally, the protective layer and the sealing member are integrally formed. Accordingly, the display substrate can be easily prepared and completed. Moreover, the adhesive force between the protective layer and the substrate can be enhanced, so that the sealability of the sealing member to the edge of the first black matrix can be further improved.
Optionally, the black matrix layer further includes a second black matrix located in a peripheral region of the display substrate; the sealing member is filled between the first black matrix and the second black matrix. Accordingly, the light leakage in the peripheral region of the display substrate can be effectively prevented.
Optionally, the display substrate is a color filter substrate.
Optionally, the display substrate is a COA substrate.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is provided a display device including the above-mentioned display substrate.
In order to make a person skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be further described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
As shown in
It should be noted that, the middle region in a display substrate includes a display region for displaying in the display substrate; that is, the area of the middle region is larger than that of the display region.
Optionally, the black matrix layer further includes a second black matrix 12 (not shown in
Since the edge of the first black matrix 11 according to the display substrate of the present embodiment is blocked and sealed by the sealing member 4, even if peeling occurs at the edge of the first black matrix 11, water vapor molecules are blocked by the sealing member 4 and cannot enter into the middle region of the display substrate (that is, the water vapor cannot enter into the display region of the display substrate), so that the problem of lower product yield due to peeling of the black matrix in the prior art can be solved.
As shown in
Optionally, the black matrix layer further includes a second black matrix 12 (not shown in
Since the edge of the first black matrix 11 according to the display substrate of the present embodiment is blocked and sealed by the sealing member 4, even if peeling occurs at the edge of the first black matrix 11, water vapor molecules are blocked by the sealing member 4 and cannot enter into the middle region of the display substrate (that is, the water vapor cannot enter into display region of the display substrate), so that the problem of lower product yield due to peeling of the black matrix in the prior art can be solved.
The present embodiment provides a display substrate comprising a substrate 10, a black matrix layer disposed on the substrate 10, and a protective layer 2 disposed on the black matrix layer. Moreover, a sealant 3 is further disposed in the peripheral region of liquid crystal 5 located above the display substrate. The black matrix layer includes a first black matrix 11 located in a middle region of the display substrate, and the edge of the first black matrix 11 protrudes from the protective layer 2. As show in
Since the sealing member 4 of the display substrate of the present embodiment envelops the outer surface of the protruding portion of the first black matrix 11, and the sealing member 4 is in close abutment with the edge of the protective layer 2, even if peeling occurs at the edge of the first black matrix 11, water vapor molecules are blocked by the sealing member 4 and cannot enter into the middle region of the display substrate (that is, the water vapor cannot enter into the display region of the display substrate), so that the problem of lower product yield due to peeling of the black matrix in the prior art can be solved. Meanwhile, an adhesive force between the sealing member 4 and the substrate 10 may be enhanced by the design of the steps at the edges of the first black matrix 11 and the protective layer 2.

Optionally, as shown in
In the following, the method for preparing the above-mentioned display substrate will be described, and the structure of the display substrate will be further described.
Step 1: a black matrix material is provided on the substrate 10, and a groove is formed in a peripheral region of the black matrix material by a patterning process, so that a first black matrix 11 in the display region and a second black matrix 12 in the peripheral region are formed.
Step 2: a protective layer 2 material is provided on the substrate 10 as finished above, and then a protective layer 2 is formed by a patterning process. At the same time, the edge of the first black matrix 11 protrudes from the protective layer 2, so that steps are formed at the edges of the protective layer 2 and the first black matrix 11.
Step 3: a sealant 3 material is provided on the substrate 10 as finished above. At this time, the groove between the first black matrix 11 and the second black matrix 12 is filled with the sealant 3 material, so that the sealant 3 is formed while the sealing member 4 is also formed.
So far, the preparation of the display substrate is completed.
The first black matrix 11 and the second black matrix 12 according to the display substrate of the present embodiment are disconnected, so that the edge of the first black matrix 11 protrudes from the protective layer 2 to form a step. And then, the sealant 3 material is applied in a liquid state, so that the sealant 3 material fills the entire region. Because of the blocking of the sealant 3, even if peeling occurs at the second black matrix 12, water vapor molecules are blocked by the sealant 3 and cannot enter into the display substrate. In particular, when steps are formed at the edges of the first black matrix 11 and the protective layer 2, the adhesive force between the sealant and the display substrate can be effectively enhanced, and at the same time, the peeling of the black matrix due to the deformation of the substrate can be effectively prevented.
The present embodiment provides a display substrate comprising a substrate 10, a black matrix layer disposed on the substrate 10, and a protective layer 2 disposed on the black matrix layer. Moreover, a sealant 3 is further disposed in the peripheral region of liquid crystal 5 located above the display substrate. As shown in
Optionally, the black matrix layer further includes a second black matrix 12 (not shown in
Since the sealing member 4 according to the display substrate of the present embodiment is in close abutment with the entire edge of the first black matrix 11 and the entire edge of the protective layer 2 respectively, and is also in close abutment with the substrate 10, even if peeling occurs at the edge of the first black matrix 11, water vapor molecules are blocked by the sealing member 4 and cannot enter into the middle region of the display substrate (that is, the water vapor cannot enter into display region of the display substrate), so that the problem of lower product yield due to peeling of the black matrix in the prior art can be solved.

Optionally, the black matrix layer further includes a second black matrix 12 (not shown in
In the display substrate of the present embodiment, since the sealing member 4 and the protective layer 2 are integrally formed, the display substrate can be easily prepared and completed. Meanwhile, the edge of the first black matrix 11 is blocked by the sealing member 4. Therefore, even if peeling occurs at the edge of the first black matrix 11, water vapor molecules are blocked by the sealing member 4 and cannot enter into the middle region of the display substrate (that is, the water vapor cannot enter into the display region of the display substrate), so that the problem of lower product yield due to peeling of the black matrix in the prior art can be solved.
