The application will be illustrated in detail in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It may be understood that, the embodiments described here are only set for explaining, rather than limiting, the application. Additionally, it further needs to be noted that, for convenient description, the drawings only show the parts related to the application, rather than the whole structure.



FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of an organic light-emitting display panel according to an embodiment of the disclosure, and FIG. 1B is a sectional view of FIG. 1A along A-A′. Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the organic light-emitting display panel according to the embodiment of the disclosure includes: a first substrate 110; the first substrate 110 includes a plurality of pressure-sensitive detection structures 120 and a plurality of light-sensitive identification structures 130 provided in an array, the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 includes a semiconductor material film 121, the light-sensitive identification structure 130 includes a light-sensitive identification switch 131, and the light-sensitive identification switch 131 includes a first active layer 132, wherein, the semiconductor material film 121 and the first active layer 132 are provided on the same layer.


In the embodiment of the disclosure, the organic light-emitting display panel inputs a drive voltage signal to the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120. When a user presses the surface of a touch panel, the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 is deformed under the pressure, and the strain voltage on the output terminal of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 is changed correspondingly according to the degree of deformation, so that the magnitude of the pressure may be detected by detecting the strain voltage.


In the embodiment of the disclosure, the light-sensitive identification switch 131 further includes: a first gate electrode G and a first drain electrode D. The light-sensitive identification structure 130 further includes a light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 provided corresponding to the light-sensitive identification switch 131; the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 includes: a PN junction 133b with a photosensitive characteristic, a first pole 133a electrically connected with one end of the PN junction 133b and a second pole 133c electrically connected with the other end of the PN junction 133b, wherein, the first pole 133a of the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 is electrically connected with the first drain electrode D of the corresponding light-sensitive identification switch 131.


In the embodiment of the disclosure, the light-sensitive identification switch 131 further includes a first source electrode S, and the first source electrode S is electrically connected with a light-sensitive data line (not shown), the light-sensitive identification switch 131 is configured to be turned on in the light-sensitive detection stage and be turned off in other working stages, wherein, the light-sensitive detection stage includes a data write stage and a data read stage. In the data write stage, a light-sensitive detection circuit of the organic light-emitting display panel controls the light-sensitive identification switch 131 to be turned on and writes a light-sensitive drive signal on the light-sensitive data line into the corresponding light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 via the light-sensitive identification switch 131; in the data read stage, the light-sensitive detection circuit again controls the light-sensitive identification switch 131 to be turned on and acquires a light-sensitive induction signal from the corresponding light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 via the light-sensitive data line and the light-sensitive identification switch 131. The light-sensitive detection circuit performs fingerprint identification and/or fingerprint touch control according to the change of the light-sensitive induction signal and the light-sensitive drive signal. It may be understood by one skilled in the art that, the specific structure and working process of the light-sensitive identification structure are similar to those in the prior art, and hence it will not be described again here.


In the light-sensitive detection stage, the organic light-emitting display panel writes a light-sensitive drive signal into the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 via the light-sensitive identification switch 131. When a user touches the surface of a touch panel, the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 receives reflected light and converts the reflected light received into an electrical signal, the reflected light is formed by reflecting, by a touch body on the organic light-emitting display panel, the light emitted from the organic light-emitting display panel. The different intensity of the reflected light will lead to the different electrical signal generated by the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133. The organic light-emitting display panel reads the electrical signal from the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 via the light-sensitive identification switch 131. Therefore, the organic light-emitting display panel determines the touch body information according to the electrical signal from each of the light-sensitive identification apparatuses 133. The touch body is a finger of the user, and hence the reflected light received by the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 is formed by the light reflected by the valleys and ridges of the finger, which is initially emitted from the organic light-emitting display panel, and the organic light-emitting display panel can determine the texture information of the valleys and ridges of the finger according to the electrical signal from the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133, thereby realizing fingerprint identification. On the other hand, the organic light-emitting display panel is integrated with a plurality of light-sensitive identification structures 130 provided in an array, the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 generates an electrical signal according to the received reflected light and reads the electrical signal from the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 via the light-sensitive identification switch 131, so that the organic light-emitting display panel can determine the finger location information according to the electrical signal from each of the light-sensitive identification apparatuses 133, thereby realizing full-screen fingerprint touch control and identification.


In the embodiment of the disclosure, the light-sensitive identification switch 131 is a thin-film transistor, the structure of the thin-film transistor includes an active layer, a gate electrode and drain and source electrodes, and the active layer of the thin-film transistor will function as the first active layer 132 of the light-sensitive identification switch 131.


The semiconductor material film 121 of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 may be made from amorphous silicon a-Si or polysilicon poly-Si. The first active layer 132 of the light-sensitive identification switch 131 may be made from polysilicon poly-Sior or amorphous silicon a-Si. Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the semiconductor material film 121 and the first active layer 132 are provided on the same layer. Specifically, the semiconductor material film 121 and the first active layer 132 may optionally be made from the same materials and be formed on the same layer via one mask. Therefore, both the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 and the light-sensitive identification structure 130 may be formed in the organic light-emitting display panel without additional processes or the costs.


It needs to be noted that, in other embodiments, the first active layer of the light-sensitive identification switch may optionally be made from a semiconductor oxide such as zinc oxide, indium oxide and tin oxide, etc., or it may optionally be made from an alloy with zinc oxide, indium oxide and tin oxide, etc. The semiconductor material film of the pressure-sensitive detection structure and the first active layer of the light-sensitive identification switch are provided on the same layer.


In the embodiment of the disclosure, the organic light-emitting display panel is integrated with a pressure-sensitive detection structure, so that pressure sensing can be performed to realize the pressure-sensitive touch technology. Moreover, the organic light-emitting display panel is further integrated with a light-sensitive identification structure so that fingerprint identification, full-screen fingerprint touch control and identification can be performed via light-sensitive detection, thereby realizing the light-sensitive touch technology. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the specific location of the pressure-sensitive detection structure is not limited, and the pressure-sensitive detection structure may be provided in a display region or a non-display region of the organic light-emitting display panel. In comparison with the prior art, by providing the pressure-sensitive detection structure in the display region of the organic light-emitting display panel, narrow frame can be realized; also, the semiconductor material film of the pressure-sensitive detection structure and the first active layer of the light-sensitive identification switch are provided on the same layer, so that the manufacture processes may be reduced and the costs may be lowered while realizing the light-sensitive touch technology and pressure-sensitive touch technology in comparison with the prior art.


Optionally, referring to FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C, the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 further includes: a pressure-sensitive wiring 122 electrically connected with the semiconductor material film 121.

The four connection terminals are electrically connected with four pressure-sensitive wirings 122, wherein line including the two voltage input terminals intersects with the line including the two voltage output terminals. The semiconductor material film 121 of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 has a square structure, and in other embodiments, it has a polygonal structure. The four pressure-sensitive wirings 122 of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 are divided into two voltage input wirings electrically connected with the two voltage input terminals respectively and two voltage output wirings electrically connected with the two voltage output terminals respectively. It needs to be noted that, the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 shown in FIG. 1B is an illustration of FIG. 1C along B-B′, and thus FIG. 1B only shows two pressure-sensitive wirings 122.


In the embodiment of the disclosure, the organic light-emitting display panel inputs a drive voltage signal to the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 via two voltage input wirings, and detects, via two voltage output wirings, the strain voltage signal outputted by the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120. If no user presses the surface of the touch panel, the strain voltage signal outputted by the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 will be 0; if a user presses the surface of the touch panel, the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 is deformed under the action of the pressure, so that the strain voltage signal outputted by the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 changes correspondingly according to the degree of deformation, thereby realizing pressure-sensitive touch on the organic light-emitting display panel by detecting the strain voltage signal. It may be understood by one skilled in the art that, the specific structure and working process of the pressure-sensitive detection structure are similar to those in the prior art, and it will not be described again here.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, an entire common voltage input metal film layer may be formed, and the common voltage input layer 134 of the light-sensitive identification structure 130 and the pressure-sensitive wiring 122 of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 are both formed via one mask. It needs to be noted that, the common voltage input layer 134 is multiplexed as the two pressure-sensitive drive wirings 122 in the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120. Further the common voltage input layer 134 is multiplexed as the two pressure-sensitive induction wirings 122 in the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120.

Further, a plurality of common voltage input layers 134 and a plurality of pressure-sensitive wirings 122 independent of the common voltage input layers 134 are formed as shown in FIG. 6 after forming the entire common voltage input metal film layer, and in the light-sensitive detection stage, a common voltage signal is applied to the common voltage input layer 134 and the pressure-sensitive wiring 122.


The light-sensitive identification structure 130 includes a light-sensitive storage capacitor 135, the common voltage input layer 134 function as one pole of the light-sensitive storage capacitor 135, and the first pole 133a of the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 function as the other pole of the light-sensitive storage capacitor 135, and the overlapped region of the common voltage input layer 134 and the first pole 133a of the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 in the direction vertical to the organic light-emitting display panel forms the light-sensitive storage capacitor 135. It may be understood by one skilled in the art that, the structure of the light-sensitive storage capacitor includes, but is not limited to, the film structure as shown in FIG. 7. The structure of the light-sensitive storage capacitor in any of the existing light-sensitive identification structure falls into the protection scope of the disclosure.


Optionally, referring to FIG. 7, the organic light-emitting display panel includes a light-sensitive detection stage and a pressure-sensitive detection stage. In the light-sensitive detection stage, a common potential signal is applied to the common voltage input layer 134; the common voltage input layer 134 is multiplexed as the pressure-sensitive drive wiring of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120, and in this way, in the pressure-sensitive detection stage, a pressure-sensitive drive signal is applied to the pressure-sensitive drive wiring. Or, the common voltage input layer 134 is multiplexed as the pressure-sensitive induction wiring of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120, and in this way, in the pressure-sensitive detection stage, a pressure-sensitive induction signal is acquired via the pressure-sensitive induction wiring.


It needs to be noted that, each of the pressure-sensitive detection structures 120 includes two pressure-sensitive drive wirings. Optionally, at least one of the pressure-sensitive detection structures 120 is correspondingly provided with two common voltage input layers 134 that are multiplexed as the two pressure-sensitive drive wirings of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120; each of the pressure-sensitive detection structures 120 respectively is correspondingly provided with two common voltage input layers 134 that are multiplexed as the two pressure-sensitive drive wirings of the corresponding pressure-sensitive detection structure 120; further, the two common voltage input layers 134 are multiplexed as the two pressure-sensitive drive wirings of each pressure-sensitive detection structure 120. Optionally, in conjunction with FIG. 1C, in the light-sensitive detection stage, the same signal may be input to the common potential signal applied to the common voltage input layer 134 and a certain one of the voltage input terminals (Vo+ and Vo−) in the pressure-sensitive detection stage.


It needs to be noted that, each of the pressure-sensitive detection structures 120 further includes two pressure-sensitive induction wirings. Optionally, at least one of the pressure-sensitive detection structures 120 is correspondingly provided with two common voltage input layers 134 that are multiplexed as the two pressure-sensitive induction wirings of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120; each of the pressure-sensitive detection structures 120 respectively is correspondingly provided with two common voltage input layers 134 that are multiplexed as the two pressure-sensitive induction wirings of corresponding the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120; further, the two common voltage input layers 134 are multiplexed as the two pressure-sensitive drive wirings of each pressure-sensitive detection structure 120.


In the embodiment of the disclosure, under the premise that display, light-sensitive detection and pressure-sensitive detection are not affected, an appropriate number of common voltage input layers may be reasonably selected to be multiplexed as pressure-sensitive wirings according to panel design, formation process and manufacture cost, etc., which is not defined in the disclosure.


The light-sensitive detection stage of the organic light-emitting display panel includes a data write stage and a data read stage. In the data write stage, a common potential signal is applied to the common voltage input layer 134, wherein the common voltage signal is transferred to the second pole 133c of the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 via the common voltage input layer 134, and the light-sensitive identification switch 131 is controlled to be turned on to transfer the light-sensitive data signal to the first pole 133a of the corresponding light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 via the first drain electrode D, and hence a first fixed potential is kept by the light-sensitive storage capacitor 135 formed between the common voltage input layer 134 and the first pole 133a of the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133, that is, data are written into the light-sensitive storage capacitor 135. When a finger touches the organic light-emitting display panel, the light-sensitive identification apparatus 133 will generate a corresponding current variation according to the intensity of the received reflected light, so that the potential of the light-sensitive storage capacitor 135 changes to a second potential. In the data read stage, the organic light-emitting display panel controls the light-sensitive identification switch 131 to be turned on, then the potential information of the light-sensitive storage capacitor 135 is read by the turned-on light-sensitive identification switch 131, and the finger texture information and/or finger location information are/is determined according to the potential information. On the other hand, on the basis that the common voltage input layer 134 is multiplexed as the pressure-sensitive wiring 122, in the light-sensitive detection stage, a common voltage signal is applied to each common voltage input layer 134 and each pressure-sensitive wiring 122, so that a common voltage potential is kept by the four pressure-sensitive wirings 122 of each pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 in the organic light-emitting display panel, so that a common voltage signal is input to both the two voltage input terminals and the two voltage output terminals of each of the pressure-sensitive detection structures 120, and at this time, each pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 in the organic light-emitting display panel does not work. Apparently, in the light-sensitive detection stage, the light-sensitive identification structure 130 works normally, and the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 does not work, so that the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 will not affect the light-sensitive detection process in the light-sensitive detection stage.


In the pressure-sensitive detection stage, the organic light-emitting display panel controls the light-sensitive identification switch 131 in the light-sensitive identification structure 130 to be turned off, and thus the light-sensitive identification structure 130 does not work, that is, the light-sensitive identification structure 130 will not affect the pressure-sensitive detection process in the pressure-sensitive detection stage. The four pressure-sensitive wirings 122 of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 are divided into two pressure-sensitive drive wirings and two pressure-sensitive induction wirings. Referring to FIG. 7, the common voltage input layer 134 is multiplexed as the pressure-sensitive drive wiring, so that in the pressure-sensitive detection stage, the organic light-emitting display panel applies a pressure-sensitive drive signal to the pressure-sensitive drive wiring of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120. When a finger is pressed on the organic light-emitting display panel, the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 will be deformed under the pressure, so that the pressure-sensitive induction wiring of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 outputs a pressure-sensitive induction signal. The organic light-emitting display panel acquires the pressure-sensitive induction signal and determines the magnitude of the pressure according to the pressure-sensitive induction signal, thereby realizing pressure-sensitive detection. Further, the common voltage input layer 134 is multiplexed as the pressure-sensitive induction wiring, so that in the pressure-sensitive detection stage, the organic light-emitting display panel applies a pressure-sensitive drive signal to the pressure-sensitive drive wiring of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120. When a finger is pressed on the organic light-emitting display panel, the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 will be deformed under the pressure, so that the pressure-sensitive induction wiring of the pressure-sensitive detection structure 120 outputs a pressure-sensitive induction signal. The organic light-emitting display panel acquires the pressure-sensitive induction signal and determines the magnitude of the pressure according to the pressure-sensitive induction signal, thereby realizing pressure-sensitive detection.
