Detailed Description
In the following, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art can appreciate, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways, without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive.
In order to realize full-screen display, the light emitting units of the camera mounting area can be connected to the corresponding driving circuits through transparent conductive wires. In order to realize the same resolution of the camera mounting area and the conventional display area, at least three layers of transparent conductive wires are needed to connect all the light-emitting units in the camera mounting area with the corresponding driving circuits. Since an insulating layer is required to be disposed between two adjacent transparent conductive lines, three insulating layers are required to be simultaneously formed in order to form three transparent conductive lines, which requires 6 mask processes, resulting in an increase in cost.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a display panel according to the related art after a first conductive layer is formed. As shown in fig. 1, the display panel may include a substrate base 10, a first insulating layer 21 on a side of the substrate base 10, and a first conductive layer 22 on a side of the first insulating layer 21 facing away from the substrate base 10. The first conductive layer 22 includes a plurality of first conductive lines 221 disposed at intervals. The adjacent two first conductive lines 221 have a predetermined distance d0 therebetween. The process of forming the first conductive layer 22 may include: after a first conductive film is formed on one side of the first insulating layer 21, which is far away from the substrate base plate 10, a photoresist is coated on the first conductive film, the photoresist is exposed and developed by adopting a mask, the photoresist at the 221 position of the first conductive line is reserved, the photoresist at other positions is removed, and the first conductive film is exposed; the exposed first conductive film is etched to form a plurality of first conductive lines 221 disposed at intervals. The process of forming the first conductive layer 22 may be referred to as a patterning process, and due to the limitation of the patterning process, at least a predetermined distance d0 is reserved between two adjacent first conductive lines 221, the predetermined distance d0 may range from 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm, for example, the predetermined distance d0 may be 2 μm, that is, in order to meet the requirements of the patterning process, no additional conductive line may be disposed between two adjacent first conductive lines 221. Thus, in order to form three layers of transparent conductive lines, 6 films and 6 mask processes are required, that is, a first insulating layer, a first conductive layer, a second insulating layer, a second conductive layer, a third insulating layer and a third conductive layer are sequentially stacked, which results in an increase in cost and a reduction in production efficiency.
Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the display panel includes a substrate 10 and a conductive structure layer 20, wherein the conductive structure layer 20 is located on one side of the substrate 10. Illustratively, the conductive structure layer 20 may be located on a side of the substrate base plate 10 facing the display side.
The conductive structure layer 20 may include a first insulating layer 21, a first conductive layer 22, a second insulating layer 23, and a second conductive layer 24. The first insulating layer 21 is located on one side of the substrate 10, the first conductive layer 22 is located on one side of the first insulating layer 21 facing away from the substrate 10, and the first conductive layer 22 may include a plurality of first conductive lines 221 arranged at intervals.
The second insulating layer 23 is located on a side of the first conductive layer 22 away from the substrate base plate 10, and the second insulating layer 23 includes a plurality of insulating lines 231 arranged at intervals. The distance between two adjacent insulated wires 231 is a preset distance d0, the preset distance d0 may range from 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm, and the preset distance d0 may be 2 μm, for example. The predetermined distance d0 is a dimension that the patterning process may limit, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the predetermined distance d0 may vary as the patterning process is improved. The insulated wires 231 correspond to the first conductive wires 221 one by one, and the orthographic projection of the first conductive wires 221 on the substrate 10 is within the range of the orthographic projection of the insulated wires 231 on the substrate 10. It is understood that the boundary of the first conductive line 221 and the boundary of the insulating line 231 refer to corresponding boundaries of the first conductive line 221 and the insulating line 231, for example, as shown in fig. 2, a left boundary of the first conductive line 221 and a left boundary of the second insulating layer 231, and a right boundary of the first conductive line 221 and a right boundary of the second insulating layer 231.
The second conductive layer 24 is located on a side of the second insulating layer 23 facing away from the substrate base plate 10, and the second conductive layer 24 includes a plurality of second conductive lines 242 and a plurality of third conductive lines 243.

Each third conductive line 243 is located in a region between every two adjacent insulating lines 231, each third conductive line 243 is located on a side of the first insulating layer 21 facing away from the substrate base 10, the insulating lines 231 are configured to disconnect the adjacent third conductive lines 243 from the second conductive lines 242, an orthographic projection of the second conductive lines 242 on the substrate base 10 is a first region, an orthographic projection of the third conductive lines 243 adjacent to the second conductive lines 242 on the substrate base 10 is a second region, and a width of an overlapping portion of the first region and the second region is greater than or equal to 0. Exemplarily, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the angle θ between the sidewall of the insulating line 231 and the substrate base plate 10 is equal to 90 °, and during the formation of the second conductive layer 24 by using the deposition process, the boundary of the first region and the second region may coincide (i.e., the width of the overlapping portion of the first region and the second region is equal to 0) or there is an overlapping portion of the first region and the second region (i.e., the width of the overlapping portion of the first region and the second region is greater than 0) due to the process reasons. Illustratively, the angle θ between the sidewall of the insulated wire 231 and the substrate base plate 10 is less than 90 °, and during the formation of the second conductive layer 24 by using the deposition process, the boundary of the first region and the second region may coincide (i.e., the width of the overlapping portion of the first region and the second region is equal to 0) or there is an overlapping portion of the first region and the second region (i.e., the width of the overlapping portion of the first region and the second region is greater than 0) due to the process. It is to be understood that "the width of the overlapping portion" is a dimension of the overlapping portion in a direction parallel to the extending direction of the second conductive line, and is a dimension in the width direction of the paper in fig. 2.
In the display panel of the embodiment of the disclosure, the first conductive lines 221 are located on the surface of the first insulating layer 21 on the side away from the substrate 10, and the third conductive lines 243 are located on the surface of the first insulating layer 21 on the side away from the substrate 10, so that the third conductive lines 243 are additionally arranged between two adjacent first conductive lines 221, and the limitation that the conductive lines cannot be additionally arranged between two adjacent first conductive lines 31 due to a patterning process is avoided. Therefore, in the display panel of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conductive line 221, the second conductive line 242, and the third conductive line 243 are formed, and only 4 film layers are required, so that the number of mask processes is reduced, the cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
Fig. 3 is a schematic plan view illustrating a display panel according to an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the display panel may include a display area 50, the display area 50 including a camera mounting area 51 and a normal display area 52, the normal display area 52 being an area of the display area 50 located outside the camera mounting area 51. The camera mounting area 51 includes a plurality of first light emitting units on the substrate base 10 side. The conventional display area 52 includes a driving circuit layer and a plurality of second light emitting cells on one side of the substrate base 10. The display panel may further include a first driving circuit, and each conductive line in the conductive structure layer 20 is configured to connect each first light emitting unit and the first driving circuit, that is, each first light emitting unit is connected to the first driving circuit through each conductive line in the conductive structure layer, so that the first driving circuit controls each first light emitting unit to emit light. Illustratively, the first conductive lines 221, the second conductive lines 242, and the third conductive lines 243 in the conductive structure layer 20 are connected to the first light emitting cells in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the first light emitting cells are connected to the first driving circuit through the first conductive lines 221, the second conductive lines 242, and the third conductive lines 243.

It is understood that the driving circuit layer may include a second driving circuit for driving the second light emitting cell. Illustratively, the first driving circuit may be located in the normal display area 52, and the driving circuit layer may include the first driving circuit. It is understood by those skilled in the art that in the conventional display area, the second light emitting cells are in one-to-one correspondence with the second driving circuits, and in the case where the first driving circuits are included in the driving circuit layer, the resolution of the conventional display area can be reduced, and thus, a part of the number of the second driving circuits can be used as the first driving circuits to drive the first light emitting cells. Those skilled in the art will understand that the specific circuit structures of the second driving circuit and the first driving circuit are conventional in the art, and the second driving circuit and the first driving circuit are not specifically limited herein.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the display panel may further include a frame region 60 located at one side of the display region 50, and the frame region 60 may include a driving circuit region 61. The first driving circuit may be located in the frame region 60 and the first driving circuit may be located in the driving circuit region 61. The conductive structure layer 20 is located in a conductive line region 521, and the conductive line region 521 passes through the conventional display region 52 from the camera mounting region 51 to the driving circuit region 61, so that each conductive line in the conductive structure layer 20 is convenient for connecting each first light emitting unit with the first driving circuit. Illustratively, the camera mounting region 51 may be disposed close to the driving circuit region 61, so that the length of the conductive structure layer 20 may be reduced, and thus the length of each conductive line may be reduced, and the connection resistance may be reduced. By the arrangement mode, the first driving circuit does not influence the conventional display area and does not influence the resolution of the conventional display area. Illustratively, the resolution of the camera mounting region 51 is the same as that of the conventional display region 52, and may be 400PPI to 450 PPI.
In one embodiment, the second Light Emitting unit may be an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), and the first Light Emitting unit may be an OLED. It is understood that an OLED includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode. Each of the first conductive lines 221, each of the second conductive lines 242, and each of the third conductive lines 243 in the conductive structure layer 20 are connected to the anode of each of the first light emitting cells in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the anode of each of the first light emitting cells is connected to the first driving circuit through each of the first conductive lines 221, each of the second conductive lines 242, and each of the third conductive lines 243.
In one embodiment, the first conductive layer 22 and the second conductive layer 24 are made of transparent conductive materials, so that the first conductive line 221, the second conductive line 242, and the third conductive line 243 are transparent conductive lines. The conductive wire can avoid the influence of the conductive wire on the display of the display panel, and meanwhile, when the camera shoots images, the influence on the shooting effect can be reduced. For example, the material of the first conductive layer 22 and the second conductive layer 24 may include at least one of indium tin oxide and indium zinc oxide.
In one embodiment, the conductive structure layer 20 may be located between the substrate base plate 10 and the first light emitting unit at the camera mounting region 51. In the conventional display area 52, the conductive structure layer 20 may be positioned between the driving circuit layer and the second light emitting unit. Therefore, the conductive structure layer 20 is located on one side of the first light emitting unit departing from the display side, and the conductive structure layer 20 is located on one side of the second light emitting unit departing from the display side, so that the conductive structure layer 20 does not affect the display effect of the display panel.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the boundary of the first conductive line 221 and the boundary of the insulating line 231 have a retraction distance d1 therebetween, that is, the first conductive line 221 is retracted relative to the insulating line 231 by a retraction distance d1, d1 may range from 0.3 μm to 0.5 μm (inclusive), the retraction distance d1 may range from 0.3 μm to 0.5 μm, and the retraction distance d1 is set, so that not only the etching process requirement may be satisfied, but also the first conductive line 221 and the third conductive line 243 may be ensured to be disconnected from each other.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the thicknesses of the second conductive line 242 and the third conductive line 243 may be the same, the thicknesses of the second conductive line 242 and the third conductive line 243 may range from 150 angstroms to 250 angstroms (inclusive), and the thicknesses of the second conductive line 242 and the third conductive line 243 may range from 150 angstroms to 250 angstroms, for example, the thicknesses of the second conductive line 242 and the third conductive line 243 may range from 200 angstroms.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the thickness of the first conductive line 221 may be greater than the thickness of the second conductive line 242, the thickness of the first conductive line 221 may range from 350 angstroms to 450 angstroms (inclusive), and the thickness of the first conductive line 221 may be any value from 350 angstroms to 450 angstroms, for example, the thickness of the first conductive line 221 may be 400 angstroms. The width of the first conductive line 221 may range from 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm (inclusive), and illustratively, the width of the first conductive line 221 may be any value from 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm, for example, the width of the first conductive line 221 may be 2 μm. The first conductive line can have smaller resistance, can meet the requirements of patterning process and is beneficial to the formation of the first conductive line.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the thickness of the insulated wire 231 may range from 3500 angstroms to 4500 angstroms (inclusive), and the thickness of the insulated wire 231 may be any value of 3500 angstroms to 4500 angstroms, for example, the thickness of the insulated wire 231 may be 4000 angstroms. Setting the thickness of the insulating line 231 in the range of 3500 angstroms to 4500 angstroms (inclusive) facilitates the insulating line 231 to separate the second conductive line 242 and the third conductive line 243 during the formation of the second conductive layer through the deposition process.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the angle θ between the sidewalls of the insulated wires 231 and the substrate base plate 10 is less than or equal to 90 °. Thus, in the process of forming the second and third conductive lines 242 and 243, the sidewalls of the insulating line 231 may cut off the second and third conductive lines 242 and 243.
The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a method for manufacturing a display panel, including:
