Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of display, in particular to an OLED display panel based on a CUP technology, a manufacturing method of the OLED display panel and an OLED display device.

Background

Since the concept of full screen of mobile phones, the industry has been working from top to bottom on realizing full screen in the true sense. Nowadays, the design of "full panel" is the mainstream, and full panel is a relatively broad definition of ultra-high-screen display device design in the display industry. The screen is used for displaying the image, and the display area is completely covered by the screen, the surrounding of the display area adopts a frameless design, and the ultrahigh screen ratio close to 100% is pursued.

In order to meet the requirements of the full-screen of the mobile phone, panel developers put more energy into the development of the Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display panel. The OLED display panel can adopt the flexible substrate as a substrate, the flexibility of the panel is realized, and the non-display area is bent towards the two sides or the back of the panel, so that the screen occupation ratio of the display area is increased as much as possible.

If a real comprehensive screen is to be achieved, functional components such as a receiver, a light sensor, a distance sensor, a front camera and the like need to be hidden. The first three have various solutions at present, and the most difficult problem to be solved is the problem of a front camera. From the date of birth of the concept of the comprehensive screen, the screen occupation ratio and the front camera are a pair of spear shields. The existing mobile phone screen needs to be provided with a certain gap above to arrange the functional components, and the mobile phone with the comprehensive screen declared in the industry cannot be used as a front screen of the mobile phone, which accounts for 100%. That is, the front of the mobile phone needs to have at least a part of the position for the front camera, so that the consumer cannot feel a full screen in the real sense.

Recently, a Camera Under Panel (CUP) technology based on an OLED display Panel is being paid attention by more and more mobile phone and Panel manufacturers. Due to the self-luminous characteristic of the OLED display panel, the structure of the screen is simpler. The thickness of the screen is thinner than that of a traditional Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), and the light transmittance of the screen is better, so that the camera can be hidden under the screen. Functional components such as a front camera, a light sensor and the like are placed below a CUP region corresponding to the OLED display panel; when the camera is not used, the CUP area can normally display pictures; when needs use the camera, external light can penetrate through the CUP region and jet into the formation of image in the camera of being convenient for.

However, the light transmittance of the screen of the OLED display panel is only about 40%, which is far from the level required by the camera. Therefore, how to improve the light transmittance of the screen of the OLED display panel, so that the camera under the screen can better collect light and perform algorithm reduction becomes an important point in the research of the CUP technology.

Please refer to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a display panel for improving screen ratio.

As shown in part a of fig. 1, in order to make room for the front camera, the existing OLED screen after being manufactured is laser cut, and a U-shaped (or other shaped) irregular area 11a is cut at the upper boundary for placing the camera 12 a. According to the scheme, the OLED screen is a screen with a special-shaped area (such as a U-cut) when being delivered from a factory, and the front screen of the screen does not account for 100 percent.

As shown in part b of fig. 1, in order to make room for the front camera, a camera area 11b (e.g., at the upper left of the screen) without the light-emitting pixel units and their driving circuits is formed on the screen when the driving circuits of the screen are designed; the signal wiring of the driving circuit is bypassed in the camera area 11b by adopting a wire changing mode, and the camera area 11b without the light-emitting pixel units is completely cut off by directly using laser in the module section so as to be used for placing the camera 12 b. This kind of scheme is the initial scheme of present screen camera down, but when not using the camera, this camera area 11b is unable normally to carry out the picture and shows, therefore also can not make the screen front screen account for 100%.

As shown in part c of fig. 1, in order to make room for the front camera and to actually hide the front camera below the screen, the scheme adopted by the front camera is as follows: the display panel is divided into an image pickup area 101 and a display area 102, and the front camera 12c is hidden under the image pickup area 101. When the display is needed, the image pickup area 101 and the display area 102 are displayed in the same way; when the camera shooting is needed, the camera shooting area 101 is not displayed and is only used for lighting and shooting of the camera, and the display area 102 displays a framing picture in real time. However, since the transmittance of the screen of the OLED display panel is far from the level required by the camera, the camera under the screen cannot well collect light and perform algorithm recovery.

Researches find that the directions for improving the light transmittance of the screen mainly include: a metal wiring material with better light transmittance is used; using a module material with better light transmittance; and optimally designing a driving circuit of a screen camera area and the like.

Fig. 2-5 are schematic diagrams showing a layered structure of an OLED display panel of the present application, fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the OLED display panel of the present application, fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of the OLED display panel of the present application, and fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a third embodiment of the OLED display panel of the present application.

As shown in fig. 2, the OLED display panel of the present application is based on the CUP technology, and the display area of the OLED display panel includes: at least one function attachment area 201, and a normal display area 202 disposed around the function attachment area 201. In this embodiment, the film structure of the OLED display panel includes: the light-emitting diode comprises a substrate base plate 21, an array layer 22 arranged on the substrate base plate 21, and a light-emitting function layer 23 arranged on the array layer 22. The light emitting function layer 23 includes an anode layer 231.

As shown in fig. 3, in the function addition region 201, the anode layer 231 is divided into a plurality of light-transmitting regions 301, a plurality of pixel electrode regions 302, and a light-impermeable region 303 disposed around the light-transmitting regions 301 and the pixel electrode regions 302. Wherein a patterned anode metal is disposed in the pixel electrode region 302; no anode metal is disposed in the light-transmitting region 301; an anode metal is also provided in the opaque region 303. The anode metal of the opaque region 303 may be a unitary structure and is electrically insulated from the patterned anode metal of the pixel electrode region 302. It should be noted that the embodiment shown in fig. 3 focuses on the arrangement of the anode layer of the functional addition region 201; for the anode layer arrangement of the normal display area 202, reference may be made to the prior art, and the description of the present application is not provided herein.

In a further embodiment, the anode layer 231 is an ITO/Ag/ITO stack. By adopting the anode containing the Ag layer, the light reflection performance of the anode is strong, so that light rays emitted by the light emitting unit in the light emitting functional layer 23 cannot penetrate through the anode, the light loss is avoided, the microcavity effect is improved, and the light emitting efficiency of the device is improved.

In a further embodiment, a plurality of the light-transmitting regions 301 are arranged in an array in the function-added region 201. By forming the arrayed light-transmitting region 301, uniform array light is formed when the external environment light is incident, so that diffraction and scattering of the external environment light are reduced, and algorithm reduction of an optical sensor (for example, a sensor of an under-screen camera) arranged in the function addition region 201 is facilitated.

In this embodiment, the pattern shape of the light-transmitting region 301 is a circle. Forming an arrayed uniform circular pattern due to the anode metal of the light-transmitting region 301 being excavated; the anode metal of the opaque region 303 is retained, and because the anode metal contains an Ag layer, the reflective property of the anode metal is strong, so that incident light in external environment light cannot penetrate through the anode metal of the opaque region 303. This makes the incident light in the external environment light only can pass through the arrayed light-transmitting area 301, and the external environment light that also sees through the panel has just become even array light, has reduced the diffraction and the scattering of external environment light, and then makes the Sensor that sets up in the camera under the screen of function additional region 201 will be easier when carrying out the algorithm reduction to external environment light. The shape of the Pattern (Pattern) of the light-transmitting region 301 is not limited to a circle, and may be a rectangle (as shown in fig. 4), a rhombus (as shown in fig. 5), or the like. That is, the pattern shape of the light-transmitting region 301 is any one of a circle, a rectangle, and a diamond.

By differentially designing the anode metal patterns of the anode layer 231 of the function addition region 201, the light transmittance of the function addition region 201 is increased on the basis of ensuring the display function of the function addition region 201 to be normal; through forming arrayed light-transmitting area 301, the diffraction and scattering of the external environment light are reduced, and further it is easier to perform algorithm reduction on the external environment light by a Sensor (Sensor) of the camera under the screen, which is arranged in the function additional area 201.

Referring to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the substrate 21 includes a flexible layer 211, a Barrier layer 212 and a Buffer layer 213 sequentially disposed. The material of the flexible layer 211 may be Polyimide (PI).

In the present embodiment, all the film layers constituting the driving circuit for driving the light-emitting functional layer 23 to emit light are included in the array layer 22. Preferably, in the function addition region 201, metal traces of the driving circuit of the array layer 22 corresponding to the pixel electrode region 301 are arranged in a concentrated manner, so as to increase the light entrance area of the external environment light of the function addition region 201. For improving the lighting performance of the camera under the screen, the display panel is divided into two designs when the driving circuit of the array layer 22 is designed: 1) in the normal display area 202, the driving circuit of the light emitting unit is designed normally; 2) in the function addition region 201, the driving circuit of the light emitting unit is designed in a centralized manner, so that the light entering area of the external environment light is increased as much as possible.

In this embodiment, the array layer 22 includes a patterned Active layer (Active layer)221, a first gate insulating layer (GI1)222, a patterned first gate metal layer (GE1)223, a second gate insulating layer (GI2)224, a patterned second gate metal layer (GE2)225, an interlayer insulating layer (ILDLayer)226, a patterned source-drain metal layer (SD)227, and an organic Planarization Layer (PLN)228, which are sequentially formed on the substrate base 21. In the functional addition region 201, the patterned active layer 221, the patterned first gate metal layer 223, the patterned second gate metal layer 225, and the patterned source-drain metal layer 227 of the driving circuit of the array layer 22 are formed and arranged in a concentrated manner. For example, the light emitting cells are arranged in a concentrated manner at the region between two adjacent columns of the light transmitting regions 301 corresponding to the arrayed light transmitting regions 301, and are disposed corresponding to the corresponding light emitting cells. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the array layer 22 may also include only one patterned gate metal layer and corresponding gate insulating layer.

Specifically, the light-emitting functional layer 23 generally includes: an anode layer 231, a pixel defining layer 232 and a support layer 233 provided on the anode, a plurality of light emitting cells 234 (shown in fig. 3) formed in a pixel region defined by the pixel defining layer 232, and a cathode layer (not shown) covering the light emitting cells 234. The light emitting unit 234 may be a red sub-light emitting unit, a green sub-light emitting unit, or a blue sub-light emitting unit. The light emitting material of the light emitting unit 234 may be an organic light emitting material or a quantum dot organic light emitting material.

In a further embodiment, in the function addition region 201, the light emitting units 234 are concentrated between two adjacent columns of the light transmitting regions 301 in the arrayed light transmitting regions 301 (as shown in fig. 3); in the normal display area 202, the arrangement of the light emitting unit 234 can refer to the prior art, and is not described herein again. Accordingly, in the function addition region 201, the driving circuits of the array layer 22 are also collectively disposed at a region between two adjacent columns of the light transmission regions 301 corresponding to the arrayed light transmission regions 301, and correspond to the light emitting units 234.

In a further embodiment, in the functional addition region 201, a projection of the patterned anode metal formed in the pixel electrode region 302 on the array layer 22 at least partially overlaps with a metal trace of the driving circuit of the array layer 22, so as to further increase a light entering area of external ambient light. The metal routing of the driving circuit of the array layer 22 specifically includes: the patterned active layer 221, the patterned first gate metal layer 223, the patterned second gate metal layer 225, the patterned source-drain metal layer 227, and data lines, scan lines, etc. disposed in the array layer 22.

According to the OLED display panel, the anode metal patterns of the anode layer are designed in the function additional area in a difference mode, and the light transmittance of the function additional area is increased on the basis that the display function of the function additional area is normal; through the light-transmitting area of formation array ization in the additional district of function, reduced the diffraction and the scattering of external environment light, and then will be easier when making to set up the optical sensor who adds the district in function and carrying out the algorithm reduction to external environment light. The driving circuits of the array layer are designed in a centralized manner in the function additional area, so that the light incoming area of external environment light is increased; the patterned anode metal corresponding to the light-emitting unit and the metal wiring part of the driving circuit are overlapped in the function addition area, so that the wiring density of the function addition area is reduced, the light transmittance of the OLED display panel in the function addition area is improved to the maximum extent, and a real full-screen is realized.

Based on the same inventive concept, the application also provides a preparation method of the OLED display panel.

Referring to fig. 6 to 9, a flow chart of a method for fabricating an OLED display panel according to the present application is shown. The preparation method of the OLED display panel comprises the following steps: s1, providing a substrate base plate; s2, preparing an array layer on the substrate base plate; s3, growing ITO/Ag/ITO on the array layer to form an anode layer, and patterning the anode layer; and S4, forming a pixel defining layer and a supporting layer on the anode layer.

With regard to the steps: s1, providing a substrate, please refer to fig. 6. As shown in fig. 6, the display area of the base substrate 21 provided in the present application is divided into: at least one function attachment area 201, and a normal display area 202 disposed around the function attachment area 201. In this embodiment, the substrate 21 may include a flexible layer 211, a Barrier layer 212 and a Buffer layer 213 sequentially disposed. The flexible layer 211 may be made of Polyimide (PI), so as to improve the bending performance of the panel.

With regard to the steps: s2, preparing an array layer on the substrate, please refer to fig. 7-8.

As shown in fig. 7, a patterned Active layer (Active layer)221 is formed by depositing an Active layer material on the substrate base plate 21, exposing and etching; forming a first gate insulating layer (GI1)222 on the patterned active layer 221; depositing a gate metal material on the first gate insulating layer 222, and performing exposure etching to form a patterned first gate metal layer (GE1) 223; forming a second gate insulating layer (GI2)224 on the patterned first gate metal layer 223; depositing a gate metal material on the second gate insulating layer 224, and performing exposure etching to form a patterned second gate metal layer (GE2) 225; an interlayer insulating Layer (ILD Layer)226 is formed on the patterned second Layer gate metal Layer 225. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the array layer 22 may also include only one patterned gate metal layer and corresponding gate insulating layer.

As shown in fig. 8, forming source/drain contact holes by performing exposure development on the interlayer insulating layer 226, depositing a source/drain metal material (e.g., by sputtering), and forming a patterned source/drain metal layer (SD)227 by exposure etching; wherein the source/drain electrodes in the patterned source/drain metal layer 227 are in contact with the source/drain contact regions of the patterned active layer 221 through corresponding source/drain contact holes. An organic Planarization Layer (PLN)228 is formed on the patterned source drain metal layer 227 (for example, by coating an organic photoresist).

In the functional addition region 201, the patterned active layer 221, the patterned first gate metal layer 223, the patterned second gate metal layer 225, and the patterned source drain metal layer 227 of the driving circuit of the array layer 22 are formed and arranged in a concentrated manner; as shown with reference to fig. 3. For example, the light emitting cells are arranged in a concentrated manner at the region between two adjacent columns of the light transmitting regions 301 corresponding to the arrayed light transmitting regions 301, and are disposed corresponding to the corresponding light emitting cells.

With regard to the steps: s3, growing ITO/Ag/ITO on the array layer to form an anode layer, please refer to FIG. 9. As shown in fig. 9, an anode contact hole is formed by performing exposure development on the organic planarization layer 228, and ITO/Ag/ITO is grown as an anode metal to form an anode layer (ANO)231, and the anode layer 231 is subjected to patterning. Wherein the anodes in the anode layer 231 after the patterning process are in contact with the corresponding source/drain electrodes through the corresponding anode contact holes. For example, patterning is performed by exposure etching to form a first patterned anode metal 2311 corresponding to the normal display region 202, and a plurality of light-transmitting regions 301, a plurality of pixel electrode regions 302, and a light-opaque region 303 (see fig. 3) surrounding the light-transmitting regions 301 and the pixel electrode regions 302 are formed corresponding to the functional addition region 201. Wherein the first patterned anode metal 2311 formed corresponding to the normal display area 202 serves as an anode of the OLED device of the normal display area 202; a second patterned anode metal 2312 is formed in the pixel electrode area 302 and is used as an anode of the OLED device of the pixel electrode area 302; the metal of the anode layer 231 is entirely removed in the light-transmitting region 301; the anode metal in the opaque region 303 is retained to utilize the reflectivity of the Ag layer therein, so that the external ambient light is incident only from the transparent region 301.

The anode layer 231 is of an ITO/Ag/ITO laminated structure, and due to the fact that the light reflection performance of the anode containing the Ag layer is high, light emitted by the light emitting unit in the light emitting function layer 23 cannot penetrate through the anode, light loss is avoided, the microcavity effect is improved, and the light emitting efficiency of the device is improved.

In a further embodiment, in the function addition region 201, the projection of the second patterned anode metal 2312 on the array layer 22 is at least partially overlapped with the metal routing of the driving circuit, so as to reduce the routing density of the function addition region and improve the light transmittance of the OLED display panel in the function addition region to the maximum extent.

In a further embodiment, a plurality of the light-transmitting regions 301 are arranged in an array in the function-added region 201 (see fig. 3). By forming the arrayed light-transmitting region 301, uniform array light is formed when the external environment light is incident, so that diffraction and scattering of the external environment light are reduced, and algorithm reduction of an optical sensor (for example, a sensor of an under-screen camera) arranged in the function addition region 201 is facilitated. The pattern shape of the light-transmitting region 301 is any one of a circle, a rectangle, and a diamond.
