Description

Display panel, manufacturing method thereof and display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a display panel, a manufacturing method of the display panel and a display device.
Background
A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel is a commonly used flat panel Display at present, and is widely applied to modern digital information equipment due to its advantages of small size, low power consumption, no radiation, high resolution, and the like.
As shown in fig. 1, the liquid crystal display panel includes an array substrate 11 and a color filter substrate 12 which are oppositely disposed, and a liquid crystal layer (not shown in the figure) located between the array substrate 11 and the color filter substrate 12, where the array substrate 11 and the color filter substrate 12 both include a display area 13 and a non-display area, and the non-display area of the array substrate 11 not only includes a non-display area portion 14 which corresponds to the color filter substrate 12 and has an equal area, but also includes a step area 15 for binding a driving integrated circuit 16.
As shown in fig. 2, a cross-sectional view along the AA1 direction in fig. 1, an array substrate 11 includes a base substrate 110, an organic film layer 111, a passivation layer 112, and a first alignment layer 113 sequentially disposed on the base substrate 110; the color film substrate 12 includes an underlying substrate 110, a black matrix 121, a color-resist planarization layer 122, and a second alignment layer 123, which are sequentially disposed on the underlying substrate 110; in addition, in fig. 1, the sealant 21 and the spacer 22 are further included between the array substrate 11 and the color filter substrate 12 along the AA1 direction.
As shown in fig. 2, in the prior art, a series of alternating cooling and heating processes are required in a process of manufacturing a liquid crystal display panel, which may cause expansion with heat and contraction with cold of different degrees between materials, and due to the difference in characteristics of the materials, micro cracks are formed at edge positions (as shown in the direction of arrows in the figure), which reduces the interface bonding force of the frame region of the liquid crystal display panel, and in fig. 2, failure may occur between each film layer due to the expansion with heat and contraction with cold.
In order to improve the interface bonding force of the frame region of the liquid crystal display panel, the prior art uses a method of improving the bonding force between the sealant 21 and the first alignment layer 113 and the second alignment layer 123, but this method needs to select a sealant material with a higher bonding force, or select a material of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer with a higher adhesion, so that the material selection cost is higher in the actual production process. In addition, the prior art can also achieve the purpose by adopting a mode of controlling the thermal expansion coefficient of the frame glue 21, but the control of the thermal expansion coefficient of the frame glue is difficult in the actual production process.
In summary, the interface bonding force of the frame region of the liquid crystal display panel in the prior art is poor, and for the liquid crystal display panel with a narrow frame, the area occupied by each film layer at the corresponding position of the frame is smaller, so the contact area between the film layers is smaller, and thus due to the phenomena of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the interface bonding force of the frame region between the film layers is smaller, and the probability of failure between the film layers is larger, so it is very necessary to improve the interface bonding force of the frame region of the liquid crystal display panel.

The thickness of each film layer and the size and shape of the regions in the drawings do not reflect the actual proportion of each film layer, and are only intended to schematically illustrate the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, fig. 3 is a schematic plan view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along direction BB1 in fig. 3; the embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel, including an array substrate 11 and an opposite substrate 41 which are oppositely disposed, and a sealant 21 disposed between the array substrate 11 and the opposite substrate 41, wherein:
the orthographic projection area of the frame glue 21 on the array substrate 11 is located in the frame area of the array substrate 11, and the non-display area of the array substrate 11 in the embodiment of the invention not only includes a non-display area part which corresponds to the opposite substrate 41 and has the same area, but also includes a step area 15 for binding the driving integrated circuit 16;
the array substrate 11 includes a substrate 110, and an organic film layer on the substrate 110, wherein: the organic film layer at the position corresponding to the sealant 21 includes at least one protruding pillar 42 (only four protruding pillars 42 are shown in fig. 4) and at least one groove 43 (only one groove 43 is shown in fig. 4).
Here, it should be noted that: the organic film layer in the embodiment of the invention has a standard height, and the specific value of the standard height is set according to actual production, such as: the standard height of the organic film layer may be defined as a distance from the bottom of the bump structure to a contact surface of the organic film layer with another film layer therebelow. The raised structures above the standard height in the present embodiment are referred to as protruding pillars 42 and the recessed portions below the standard height are referred to as grooves 43.
In specific implementation, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the organic film layer at the position corresponding to the sealant 21 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a circle of grooves 43 disposed around the display region 13, and the grooves 43 in the embodiment of the present invention may be recessed portions penetrating through the organic film layer, or may be recessed portions not completely penetrating through the organic film layer. Certainly, in actual design, the organic film layer at the position corresponding to the sealant 21 in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a plurality of grooves 43 disposed around the display region 13, or may also include a plurality of grooves 43 disposed around the display region 13.
In practical design, the organic film layer in the embodiment of the invention may be located in the display area 13 and the non-display area of the array substrate, or may be located only in the non-display area of the array substrate. In specific implementation, the organic film layer located in the display area 13 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be set as an organic film layer with a preset height, for example: the preset height of the organic film layer in the display region 13 may be set as a preset height by taking a distance from a contact surface of the organic film layer with other film layers above to a contact surface of the organic film layer with other film layers below, and a specific value of the preset height is set according to actual production; of course, the organic film layer in the display region 13 may also be provided with grooves below a predetermined height and/or protruding pillars above the predetermined height in a partial region.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the organic film layer in the embodiment of the present invention includes: the protruding columns 42, the grooves 43 and the standard-height organic film layer 44; in the embodiment of the present invention, the material of the protruding pillars 42 is the same as that of the organic film layer 44 with a standard height, and the protruding pillars 42 and the organic film layer 44 with a standard height may be integrally formed or separately formed by a manufacturing process, and the specific forming method will be described in detail in the following manufacturing method.
In specific implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, the color film layer may be fabricated on the opposite substrate 41, or the color film layer may be fabricated on the array substrate 11, and the specific fabrication method of the color film layer is similar to that in the prior art, and is not described herein again.
Specifically, the array substrate 11 in the embodiment of the present invention further includes film layers such as a thin film transistor, a pixel electrode, a common electrode, a passivation layer, and an alignment layer on the substrate 110, and the structures of the film layers such as the thin film transistor, the pixel electrode, the common electrode, the passivation layer, and the alignment layer in the embodiment of the present invention do not relate to the improvement point of the embodiment of the present invention, so the specific arrangement positions of these film layers are not described in detail here. Fig. 4 in the specific embodiment of the present invention only shows the situation of the organic film layer located on the substrate 110, and in specific implementation, the organic film layer in the specific embodiment of the present invention may be located between the common electrode and the source/drain metal layer of the thin film transistor.
The reason why the interface bonding force of the frame area of the display panel can be improved by the arrangement of the protruding columns in the embodiment of the present invention is briefly described as follows:
fracture mechanics consider that: any material has macroscopic defects (such as gaps, holes, cracks and the like) and structural defects (such as dislocations, grain boundaries, phase boundaries and the like), so that the process of the material which is damaged under the action of external force is the process of rapid propagation and final fracture of material cracks. The fracture of the fiber-reinforced composite material may be caused by plastic deformation, crack growth and bifurcation, interface separation, delamination, or fiber pull-out and stretch-break, which is an energy dissipation process, and the fibers are reinforced in the composite material by the spacer blocking material.
From the above fracture mechanics point of view, the protruding pillars 42 mainly also perform the crack-blocking function in the sealant 21, and enhance the interface effect between the sealant 21 and the array substrate 11. The sealant 21 is actually an aggregate assembly formed by bonding the sealant and the additive together, and a large friction angle is formed by the protruding columns 42 and the additive, and the sticking effect of the protruding columns 42 and the sealant can transfer the tensile stress borne by the sealant 21 to the protruding columns 42 to bear a part of the tensile stress, that is, the protruding columns 42 can effectively release the stress of cracks, so as to strengthen the bonding force between the sealant and the array substrate.
Because the organic film layer in the embodiment of the invention comprises at least one groove, the contact area between the frame glue and the array substrate can be increased at the position of the groove, and the interface bonding force of the frame area of the display panel is improved to a certain extent; in addition, because the organic film layer in the embodiment of the invention further comprises at least one protruding column, according to the fracture mechanics viewpoint, the protruding column can bear the tensile stress borne by a part of the frame glue, so that the function of crack resistance can be achieved, and the interface bonding force of the frame area of the display panel can be improved due to the arrangement of the protruding column; compared with the prior art, the specific embodiment of the invention can not only improve the interface bonding force of the frame region of the display panel through the groove included by the organic film layer, but also improve the interface bonding force of the frame region of the display panel through the protruding column included by the organic film layer.
Further, in order to better improve the interface bonding force in the frame area of the display panel, in the embodiment of the present invention, a spacer 51 is disposed on the opposite substrate 41 at a position corresponding to the at least one groove 43, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, fig. 5 is a schematic plan view of another display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view along the direction CC1 in fig. 5; in the embodiment of the present invention, the orthographic projection of the spacer 51 on the array substrate 11 is located in the groove 43, and from the viewpoint of fracture mechanics, the spacer 51 in the embodiment of the present invention can also bear the tensile stress borne by a part of the sealant 21, so that the function of crack resistance can be achieved.
In specific implementation, as shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a frame position of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the opposite substrate 41 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate 110, a black matrix 413 disposed on the substrate 110, a red filter layer 411, and a blue filter layer 412, and the spacer 51 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be directly disposed on the substrate 110 of the opposite substrate 41, may also be disposed on the black matrix 413, and may also be disposed on the blue filter layer 412, and of course, when actually designing, the spacer 51 may also be disposed on the red filter layer 411, and may also be disposed on a green filter layer (not shown in the figure), so that the disposing manner of the spacer 51 is more flexible and changeable; the substrate 110 in the embodiment of the present invention may be a glass substrate, a quartz substrate, or a substrate made of a material such as a ceramic substrate. The color resistors are arranged in the non-display area, and the height difference between the display area and the non-display area of the array substrate can be reduced due to the fact that the color resistors for filtering are arranged in the display area, and the color resistors are not required to be arranged in the non-display area, so that the height difference exists between the display area and the non-display area, and the flatness is low. In the embodiment of the present invention, if there is a step difference between the display area and the non-display area, the ratio of the height of the spacer 51 to the thickness of the sealant is small, and the effect of preventing cracks is poor. Therefore, in this embodiment, the spacer 51 is disposed on the color resistor to further enhance the crack-resistant function, so as to further improve the interface bonding force of the frame region of the display panel.
The specific location of the spacer is described below.
In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a frame position of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, where the organic film layer in the specific embodiment of the present invention includes three grooves 43 and five protruding columns 42, where the three grooves 43 shown in fig. 8 may be grooves 43 formed after three circles of grooves are dug on the organic film layer disposed around the display area of the array substrate, of course, when actually designed, the plurality of grooves formed in the specific embodiment of the present invention may also be grooves formed after only one circle of grooves are dug into a plurality of sections of organic film layer disposed around the display area of the array substrate, the specific embodiment of the present invention provides spacers 51 on the opposite substrate 41 at a position corresponding to the groove 43 at the leftmost position in fig. 8, provides spacers 51 on the opposite substrate 41 at a position corresponding to the groove 43 at the middle position in fig. 8, no spacer is provided on the counter substrate 41 at a position corresponding to the groove 43 at the rightmost position in fig. 8.
Of course, in another embodiment, the spacer 51 may be provided only on the opposing substrate 41 at the position corresponding to the groove 43 at the leftmost position in fig. 8, and the spacers may not be provided on the opposing substrate 41 at the position corresponding to the groove 43 at the middle position in fig. 8, and on the opposing substrate 41 at the position corresponding to the groove 43 at the rightmost position in fig. 8.
In order to further improve the interface bonding force of the frame region of the display panel, preferably, one groove 43 corresponds to a plurality of spacers 51 in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, fig. 9 is a schematic top view structure diagram of the frame position of the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 10 is a schematic top view structure diagram of the frame position of another display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, from the viewpoint of fracture mechanics, the arrangement of the plurality of spacers 51 in the embodiment of the present invention can bear the tensile stress borne by the sealant 21 to a greater extent, and can perform a crack blocking function to a greater extent, so as to further improve the interface bonding force of the frame region of the display panel; fig. 9 is a top view corresponding to fig. 6, and fig. 10 is a top view corresponding to fig. 8.
In specific implementation, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the position of one groove 43 in the embodiment of the present invention may correspond to one row of spacers 51, or may correspond to two rows of spacers 51, and of course, may also correspond to only one spacer 51, or may not correspond to the spacer 51.
Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the distance between two adjacent spacers 51 is greater than or equal to 2.5 micrometers (μm), and the sealant 21 contains a plurality of additives with a particle size of 2 μm to 2.5 μm, so that the uniform distribution of the additives in the sealant 21 can be ensured when the distance between the spacers 51 is greater than or equal to 2.5 μm.
Specifically, the protruding columns 42 in the embodiment of the present invention are arranged in a staggered manner, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the protruding columns 42 arranged in a staggered manner can ensure that the function of crack resistance can be performed at multiple positions, so that the interface bonding force of the frame region of the display panel can be further improved. Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the distance between two adjacent protruding pillars 42 is greater than or equal to 2.5 μm, so that the additive can be well uniformly distributed in the sealant 21.
In particular implementation, as shown in fig. 6, the height of the protruding column 42 in the embodiment of the present invention satisfies the formula: h is2/3<h1<h2(ii) a Wherein: h is1Indicates the height, h, of the projecting post 422Denotes the height of the organic film layer, i.e. h2Indicating the sum of the height of the protruding pillars 42 and the height of the standard-height organic film layer 44. In the embodiment of the present invention, if the height of the protruding columns 42 is too low, the function of crack resistance is not very good, and when the height of the protruding columns 42 in the embodiment of the present invention satisfies h2/3<h1<h2The protruding post 42 provides the best crack arrest.
Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the protruding pillars 42 in the embodiment of the present invention is a square, a strip, a circle or an ellipse, where the cross-sectional shape refers to a shape of a vertical projection of the upper bottom surface or the lower bottom surface of the protruding pillars 42 facing the array substrate. Of course, in actual production, the cross-sectional shape of the protruding column 42 in the embodiment of the present invention may also be other shapes, such as: the shape of the arc may be circular, and the cross-sectional shape of the protruding column 42 is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the groove in the embodiments of the present invention is a square, a long strip, a circle, an ellipse, or a polygonal line, where the cross-sectional shape refers to a shape of a vertical projection of the bottom surface of the groove to the array substrate. Of course, in practical production, the cross-sectional shape of the groove in the embodiment of the present invention may also be other shapes, such as: the shape of the cross section of the groove may be circular arc, and the specific embodiment of the present invention does not limit the cross section of the groove.
