DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make the above purposes, features and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and understandable, the present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and the particular embodiments. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely certain embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. All of the other embodiments that a person skilled in the art obtains on the basis of the embodiments of the present disclosure without paying creative work fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Some embodiments of the disclosure provide a display panel. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the display panel may comprise a plurality of first-color subpixels 11, and each first-color subpixel 11 comprises a base 21, the base 21 comprising a first driving electrode 10 and a second driving electrode 12; a flat layer 22 disposed on the side, near the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode, of the base 21; a patterned passivation layer 24 and at least one first electrode 23 disposed on the side, away from the base 21, of the flat layer 22, the first electrode 23 being connected with the first driving electrode through via holes penetrating the flat layer 22; and at least one second electrode 25 disposed on the side, away from the base 21, of the passivation layer 24, the second electrode 25 being connected with the second driving electrode through via holes penetrating the passivation layer 24 and the flat layer 22.

The first-color subpixel 11 may be a red R/green G/blue B subpixel. The first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 may be an anode or a cathode.

The base 21 may comprise a substrate and the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode which are disposed on one side of the substrate, and the flat layer 22 is disposed on the side, close to the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode, of the base 21.

The first driving electrode and the second driving electrode may be an active driving electrode, such as a source or drain of a thin film transistor, and can also be a passive driving electrode. Any driving electrode which can drive the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 separately is within the protection scope of this embodiment.

The first electrode 23 is located on the side, away from the base 21, of the flat layer 22, and is connected with the first driving electrode through the via holes formed in the flat layer 22. The passivation layer 24 covers the exposed areas of the first electrode 23 and the flat layer 22, and allows a surface of the first electrode 23 to be exposed at a corresponding position of the first electrode 23. The second electrode 25 is disposed on the side, away from the base 21, of the passivation layer 24, and is connected with the second driving electrode through the via holes formed in the flat layer 22 and the passivation layer 24. Referring to FIG. 1, the first electrodes 23 and the second electrodes 25 may be arranged in an array in the first-color subpixels 11. Referring to FIG. 2, the first electrodes 23 and the second electrodes 25 are stacked on different layers of the display panel.

The first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 divide the first-color subpixel 11 into a plurality of secondary pixels 31/32, such as the secondary pixels 31 corresponding to the first electrode 23 and the secondary pixels 32 corresponding to the second electrode 25. Since the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 are insulated from each other and connected with different driving electrodes, the display of each secondary pixel can be independently controlled.

In the process of 3D display, by means of the grating type glasses-free 3D technology or cylindrical lens 3D display technology, light emitted by some secondary pixels can be controlled to enter the left eye and light emitted by some other secondary pixels enters the right eye; for example, light emitted by the secondary pixels corresponding to the first electrode 23 enters the left eye and light emitted by the secondary pixels corresponding to the second electrode 25 enters the right eye, so as to realize high-resolution 3D glasses-free display and overcome the defects of existing 3D display products such as low PPI, insufficient information and small 3D viewing angle.

According to the display panel provided in this embodiment, the first-color subpixel (R/G/B subpixel) is finely patterned into the plurality of secondary pixels, such as the secondary pixels corresponding to the first electrode 23 and the secondary pixels corresponding to the second electrode 25, and the electrodes of each secondary pixel are insulated from each other and connected with different driving electrodes respectively, so that the display of each secondary pixel can be driven independently. The display panel provided by the disclosure can realize high-resolution and high-definition glasses-free 3D display by using the grating type glasses-free 3D technology or cylindrical lens 3D display technology, can display more information and has a larger 3D viewing angle.

To further enhance the 3D glasses-free display effect, when there are multiple first electrodes 23 and/or second electrodes 25, the front projections of the first electrodes 23 on the base 21 and the front projections of the second electrodes 25 on the base 21 can be alternately arranged, as shown in FIG. 1.

Further, the number of the first electrodes 23 and the number of the second electrodes 25 can be set to be the same, so that the numbers of rows and columns of the secondary pixels included in the first-color subpixel 11 are both even, and it can be ensured that the number of the secondary pixels whose light enters the left eye is the same as that of the secondary pixels whose light enters the right eye. For example, the first-color subpixel 11 can be divided into 4*4 secondary pixels (the number of the first electrodes 23 and the number of the second electrodes 25 are both 8), 4*6 secondary pixels (the number of the first electrodes 23 and the number of the second electrodes 25 are both 12), or 6*6 secondary pixels (the number of the first electrodes 23 and the number of the second electrodes 25 are both 18). In practical application, the arrangement of the first electrodes 23 and the second electrodes 25 can be designed according to actual conditions, and is not limited to the above array arrangement.

The inventor found that when the front projections, on the base 21, of a first electrode 23 and a second electrode 25 which are adjacent to each other are separated as shown in FIG. 1, the moire pattern tends to occur due to a gap between the electrodes, as shown in FIG. 3. In order to avoid the moire pattern, the gap between the electrodes needs to be reduced. In one implementation mode, the front projection of the first electrode 23 on the base 21 is adjacent to or partially overlaps with the front projection of the adjacent second electrode 25 on the base 21, that is, the front projections, on the base 21, of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 which are adjacent to each other adjoin each other or partially overlap.

It should be noted that the expression “the front projection of the first electrode on the base is adjacent to the front projection of the adjacent second electrode on the base” herein means that the front projection of the first electrode on the substrate and the front projection of the adjacent second electrode on the base have only one coincident line, for example, the front projection of the first electrode on the base is close to a first side of the front projection of the second electrode, the front projection of the second electrode on the base has a second side close to the front projection of the first electrode, and the first side and the second side coincide with each other.

Meanwhile, in order to avoid coupling capacitance or display crosstalk at the overlapping part of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25, when the front projection of the first electrode 23 on the base 21 partially overlaps with the front projection of the second electrode 25 on the base 21, the overlapping width may be less than or equal to 2 μm.

In this implementation mode, although the front projections of the adjacent first electrode 23 and second electrode 25 on the base 21 are close to or overlap with each other, short circuiting between the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 can be avoided due to the passivation layer 24 arranged therebetween. The thickness of the passivation layer 24 may be greater than or equal to 50 nm and less than or equal to 250 nm, and the material of the passivation layer may be, for example, insulating materials such as SiNx and SiOx.

The material of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 may be electrode material such as ITO and metal. The thickness of ITO on both sides can be 8 nm, the thickness of an intermediate metal layer (such as Ag or AlNd) can be 100 nm, and the specific thickness can be set according to the actual situation.

In the implementation process, the inventor found that the etching rate of ITO is different from that of the intermediate metal layer, and ITO, near the passivation layer 24, of the second electrode 25 tends to overlap with the first electrode 23 to cause short circuiting. Therefore, in order to avoid short circuiting, the second electrode 25 may comprise a metal layer arranged on the side, away from the base 21, of the passivation layer 24, and ITO covering the side, away from the base 21, of the metal layer, and the metal layer may be made of at least one of Ag, AlNd and Al. Experiments show that the second electrode 25 is not provided with ITO in contact with the passivation layer 24, which can effectively avoid the short circuiting problem.

In an implementation mode, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the base 21 comprises a substrate and a first thin film transistor and a second thin film transistor which are disposed on the side, near the flat layer 22, of the substrate, the first driving electrode is a source or drain (SD1) of the first thin film transistor, and the second driving electrode is a source or drain (SD2) of the second thin film transistor. In the implementation mode, the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode are active driving electrodes.

For example, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the base 21 comprises a substrate (shown as Glass in FIG. 7A), a buffer layer (shown as Buffer in FIG. 7A) disposed on the substrate, and a plurality of thin film transistors disposed on the side, away from the substrate, of the buffer layer. The display panel comprises a flat layer (shown as PLN in FIG. 7A) disposed on the side, away from the substrate, of the thin film transistors, a first electrode 23 (shown as AND1 in FIG. 7A) disposed on the side, away from the substrate, of the flat layer, a passivation layer (shown as PVX2 in FIG. 7A) disposed on the side, away from the substrate, of the first electrode 23, and a second electrode 25 (shown as AND2 in FIG. 7A) disposed on the side, away from the substrate, of the passivation layer. The thin film transistor comprises an active layer, a gate insulating layer (shown as GI1 in FIG. 7A), a gate (shown as GATE in FIG. 7A), and a source and a drain (shown as SD1 and SD2 in FIG. 7A). The display panel also comprises a pixel defining layer (shown as PDL in FIG. 7B). The pixel defining layer defines a plurality of openings in which electrodes such as the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 are located. The display panel may also comprise a luminescent layer and a cathode (shown as Cathode in FIG. 7A). The luminescent layer may comprise a hole injection layer (shown as HIL in FIG. 7A), a hole transporting layer (shown as HTL in FIG. 7A), a luminescent material layer (shown as EML in FIG. 7A), an electron transporting layer (shown as ETL in FIG. 7A), and the like. The display panel may further comprise a packaging layer (shown as TFE in FIG. 7A) for packaging the display panel.

In one implementation mode, the shapes of the front projections of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 on the base 21 are at least one of quadrangle, pentagon, hexagon and octagon, or the shape like quadrangle, pentagon, hexagon or octagon. With reference to FIG. 4, a planar structural diagram of a double-layer electrode structure is shown. Through the double-layer electrode structural design (the first electrode 23 is anode1 and the second electrode 25 is anode2), electrode spacing can be reduced. For example, the front projections of adjacent electrodes on the base 21 are set to adjoin each other or partially overlap, thereby increasing the luminous area of the secondary pixels, prolonging the life of EL devices indirectly and avoiding the generation of the moire pattern. Since the electrode in FIG. 4 is hexagonal, there is still a dark area (as shown by “non-luminous hole” in FIG. 4) after the double-layer electrodes are spliced.

Further, the front projections of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 on the base 21 may be rectangular or the shape like rectangular.

FIG. 5A shows a cross-sectional view of a four-layer electrode structure, and FIG. 5B and FIG. 6 show a planar structural diagram of a four-layer electrode structure respectively. A passivation layer is arranged between every two adjacent layers of electrodes (anode1 and anode2, anode2 and anode3, and anode3 and anode4). Since the electrodes are rectangular, by reducing electrode spacing, for example, setting the front projections of adjacent anodes on the base 21 to adjoin each other or partially overlap, the seamless design of the secondary pixels can be realized, and continuous light emission between the secondary pixels in the sub-pixels can be realized.

Referring to FIGS. 5A, 5B and 6, the base may further comprise a third driving electrode 13 and a fourth driving electrode 14. The subpixel may further comprise a first passivation layer 28 disposed on the side, away from the base, of the second electrode 25, at least one third electrode 26 disposed on the side, away from the base, of the first passivation layer 28, a second passivation layer 29 disposed on the side, away from the base, of the third electrode 26, and at least one fourth electrode 27 disposed on the side, away from the base, of the second passivation layer 29. The third electrode 26 is connected with the third driving electrode 13 through via holes penetrating the first passivation layer, the passivation layer and the flat layer. The fourth electrode 27 is connected with the fourth driving electrode 14 through via holes penetrating the second passivation layer, the first passivation layer, the passivation layer and the flat layer.

As shown in FIGS. 5B and 6, the front projections of the at least one first electrode 23, the at least one second electrode 25, the at least one third electrode 26 and the at least one fourth electrode 27 on the base are distributed in an array along a first direction and a second direction (for example, the horizontal direction and the vertical direction shown in FIGS. 5B and 6), and the first direction and the second direction intersect.

The front projections of the at least one first electrode 23, the at least one second electrode 25, the at least one third electrode 26 and the at least one fourth electrode 27 on the base are alternately arranged in the first direction.

The combination of the front projections of the at least one first electrode 23, the at least one second electrode 25, the at least one third electrode 26 and the at least one fourth electrode 27 on the base is a continuously extending pattern.

It should be noted that the “continuously extending pattern” here means that the pattern is complete with no gap or blank.

By stacking the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25, the gap between the electrode layers of the secondary pixels can be reduced, the luminous area of the secondary pixels in the subpixels can be increased, and the serious moire effect caused by the large space between the electrodes can be avoided. When the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 are rectangular, continuous light emission in the subpixels can be realized.

In an implementation mode, each first-color subpixel may further comprise a luminescent layer, a cathode and a packaging layer disposed on the side, away from the base 21, of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25. In order to avoid display crosstalk, the luminescent layer is discontinuous at the junction of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25, and the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 are anodes. The cathode is continuous at the junction of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25.

In the implementation mode, the display panel is an OLED display panel, which may be of a top emission structure or a bottom emission structure. When the OLED display panel is of a top emission structure, the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 (anode) can be reused as reflective layers, and can be made of ITO/Ag/ITO, ITO/Mo/ITO, Mo/AL/Mo, Mo/ALNb/Mo, ITO/AL/ITO, Mo/Ag/ITO, etc.

The anodes in the R/G/B subpixels are patterned in the top-emitting OLED display panel, and the corresponding secondary pixels are driven independently by a plurality of anodes (the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25), so that the number of the secondary pixels in the subpixel is maximized, for example, 4×4 secondary pixel division can be realized on the basis of retina resolution (326PPI), thereby improving the 3D display resolution and image quality of the OLED. By making the front projections of adjacent anodes on the base 21 adjoin each other or partially overlap, the luminous area of the secondary pixels is increased, the service life of EL devices is prolonged indirectly, and the generation of the moire pattern is avoided.

In actual application, the base 21 may also comprise a GOA (gate driver on array), an EOA (EM GOA), a driving circuit, a compensation circuit and other structures disposed on the substrate.

According to the technical solution disclosed by the disclosure, the subpixel electrodes are finely patterned again, and the structural design of the laminated electrodes (the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25) can further increase the luminous area of the secondary pixels corresponding to the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25, reduce the proportion of non-luminous areas of the subpixels, reduce the gap between the secondary pixel electrodes, enable the secondary pixels to emit light continuously, and minimize the influence of the moire pattern, thus solving the problems of low visual resolution and discontinuous view of the glasses-free 3D technology at present, and making the 3D view larger and more life-like.

Other embodiments of the disclosure also provide a displaying device, which comprises the display panel according to any of the embodiments.

It should be noted that the displaying device in this embodiment can be any product or component with a 2D or 3D display function, such as display panel, electronic paper, mobile phone, tablet computer, TV set, notebook computer, digital photo frame and navigator.

For products with the 3D display function, the glasses-free 3D technology can be divided into the grating type glasses-frec 3D technology and the cylindrical lens 3D display technology according to different display principles. The displaying device based on the grating type glasses-free 3D technology has attracted the attention of the display industry because of its simple manufacturing process, low-level crosstalk and low production cost. This displaying device uses a parallax barrier similar to the grating effect between a backlight module and a display panel to generate alternately bright and dark stripes, the light of each bright stripe passes through the display panel to form a view into the left eye of the viewer and a view into the right eye of the viewer, and because each bright stripe emits light from two angles to form the left view and the right view which are two images with parallax, the viewer can see a 3D image without wearing 3D glasses after the left view and the right view with parallax are superimposed and regenerated in the viewer's brain.

Other embodiments of the disclosure also provide a preparation method of a display panel, wherein the display panel comprises a plurality of first-color subpixels. Referring to FIG. 8, a preparation method of each first-color subpixel may comprise:

Step 801, providing a base, wherein the base comprises a first driving electrode and a second driving electrode.

The base may comprise a substrate and the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode formed on one side of the substrate.

Step 802, forming a flat layer on the side, near the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode, of the base.

Step 803, forming at least one first electrode on the side, away from the base, of the flat layer, wherein the first electrode is connected with the first driving electrode through via holes penetrating the flat layer.

Specifically, a patterning process can be adopted to form the first electrode on the flat layer. For example, a first electrode material layer is sputtered on the flat layer, and then patterned by a series of processes such as exposure and development to obtain one or more first electrodes.

Step 804, sequentially forming a passivation layer and at least one second electrode on the side, away from the base, of the flat layer, wherein the second electrode is connected with the second driving electrode through via holes penetrating the passivation layer and the flat layer.

The via holes formed in the passivation layer and the flat layer for connecting the second electrode with the second driving electrode can be formed twice. For example, the via holes in the flat layer can be formed before preparing the passivation layer, and the via holes penetrating the passivation layer and the flat layer can be formed after the passivation layer is prepared. The via holes penetrating the passivation layer and the flat layer can also be formed at one time after the passivation layer is prepared.

The preparation method provided in the embodiment can be used to prepare the display panel described in any of the above embodiments.

In an implementation mode, referring to FIG. 9, Step 804 may specifically comprise:

Step 901, forming passivation material layers on the side, away from the base, of the flat layer and the side, away from the base, of the first electrode.

Step 902, forming at least one second electrode on the side, away from the base, of the passivation material layer by a patterning process, wherein the front projection of the second electrode on the base is adjacent to or partially overlaps with the front projection of the adjacent first electrode on the basc.

Step 903, removing the passivation material layer on the side, away from the base, of the first electrode through dry etching by a self-alignment process to obtain the passivation layer.

A first electrode layer Anode1 and s second electrode layer Anode2 are formed by the patterning process, and a PVX passivation layer is added therein. After the second electrode layer is formed, the PVX on the Anode1 is removed through dry etching by means of the self-alignment process of the second electrode layer Anode2, so that the first electrode layer is exposed, which minimizes the gap between the laminated electrodes due to the limitation of the Photo OL level and achieves seamless splicing of the two layers of secondary pixel electrodes. Referring to FIG. 11, a schematic diagram of each process stage of a preparation method of a display panel is shown.

It should be noted that, considering factors such as actual process errors, in order to make the gap between the prepared first electrode layer and the second electrode layer zero, an overlap between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer can be set at the design stage, for example, the overlap is greater than 0.8 μm.

In specific implementation, referring to FIG. 10, the preparation method provided in the embodiment may further comprise:

Step 1001, forming a luminescent layer on the side, away from the base, of the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the luminescent layer is discontinuous at the junction of the first electrode and the second electrode.

Step 1002, forming a cathode on the side, away from the base, of the luminescent layer in a covering mode, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are anodes.

The cathode is continuous at the junction of the first electrode and the second electrode.

The embodiments provide a preparation method of a display panel, a display panel and a displaying device. The first-color subpixel (R/G/B subpixel) is patterned again into the plurality of secondary pixels, such as the secondary pixels corresponding to the first electrode and the secondary pixels corresponding to the second electrode, and the electrodes of each secondary pixel are connected with different driving electrodes respectively, so that the display of each secondary pixel can be driven independently. The display panel provided by the disclosure can realize high-resolution and high-definition glasses-free 3D display by using the grating type glasses-free 3D technology or cylindrical lens 3D display technology. Further, through the seamless splicing of the adjacent first electrode and second electrode, the secondary pixels in the sub-pixels can emit light continuously, and the generation of the moire pattern is avoided.
