In the related art, a display panel of a double-sided display includes a first light emitting unit and a second light emitting unit, wherein the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit may include LED lamps. In order to meet the increasing demand of users for ultra-thin display panels, there is a technical solution in the related art that the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit are disposed on the same side of the substrate. The applicant found that this solution, although further reducing the thickness of the display panel, has poor display effects. The applicant has found through careful study that, since the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit are generally composed of a plurality of light emitting chips, the light emitted from two light emitting chips adjacent to the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit interfere with each other, which is a main cause of poor display.
To this end, the present application provides a display panel and a display device.
Referring to fig. 1, according to an aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a display panel including a substrate, a reflective layer 40, first light emitting units 20 distributed in an array and second light emitting units 30 distributed in an array, the first light emitting units 20 and the second light emitting units 30 being disposed at the same side of the substrate and alternately spaced apart from each other, a first light emitting direction of the first light emitting units 20 and a second light emitting direction of the second light emitting units 30 being opposite, and the reflective layer 40 being disposed between the first light emitting units 20 and the second light emitting units 30.
The first light emitting direction is shown as Z1 in fig. 1, and the second light emitting direction is shown as Z2 in fig. 1. The first light emitting unit 20 and the second light emitting unit 30 are disposed on the same side of the substrate, which can reduce space occupation and facilitate light and thin display panels. Meanwhile, the first light emitting direction of the first light emitting unit 20 is opposite to the second light emitting direction of the second light emitting unit 30, so that double-sided display of the display panel can be realized. In the above embodiment of the present invention, by providing the reflective layer 40 between the first light emitting unit 20 and the second light emitting unit 30, which is equivalent to setting up a barrier between the first light emitting unit 20 and the second light emitting unit 30, the scattered light emitted from the first light emitting unit 20 toward the second light emitting unit 30 is reflected back by the reflective layer 40, and the scattered light emitted from the second light emitting unit 30 toward the first light emitting unit 20 is also reflected back by the reflective layer 40, so that mutual interference of the light emitted from the adjacent first light emitting unit 20 and second light emitting unit 30 can be avoided, and the display effect of the display panel can be improved. In addition, the reflective layer 40 can reflect the scattered light of the first light emitting unit 20 and the second light emitting unit 30, so that the utilization rate of light energy can be improved, and the display effect can be further improved.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the width of the middle 41 of the reflective layer 40 is L2, the width of the top 42 of the reflective layer 40 is L1, the width of the bottom 43 of the reflective layer 40 is L3, then L2> L1, and L2> L3. The cross section here refers to a cross section perpendicular to the first light-exiting direction or the second light-exiting direction, and because the first light-exiting direction and the second light-exiting direction are opposite, the cross section is perpendicular to both the first light-exiting direction and the second light-exiting direction. The width L2 of the middle part of the reflective layer 40 is at least greater than the width L1 of the top part 42 and the width L3 of the bottom part 43, and the distance H1 from the top part 42 at the widest part of the middle part is equal to the distance H2 from the bottom part 43, L1 and L3 are at least 1um, and L2 is at least 1um greater than L1 and L3. The width of the middle 41 is set larger, the widths of the top 42 and the bottom 43 are designed smaller, or the cross-sectional area of the middle 41 is larger, and the cross-sectional areas of the two ends are designed smaller, so as to form an inclined plane, which is beneficial for reflecting the light emitted from the first light emitting unit 20 back after being reflected by the reflecting layer 40. For example, referring to fig. 3, light a emitted from the upper side edge of the first light emitting unit 20 is reflected to the light outlet or the light emitting chip itself by the reflective layer, and light B emitted from the lower side edge of the first light emitting unit 20 is reflected to the first black matrix layer 60 or the light emitting chip itself by the reflective layer. Similarly, the light ray C emitted from the upper side edge of the second light emitting unit 30 is reflected to the second black matrix layer 70 or the light emitting chip itself by the reflective layer, and the light ray D emitted from the lower side edge of the second light emitting unit 30 is reflected to the light outlet or the light emitting chip itself by the reflective layer. The light outlet has a spacing layer of the first black matrix layer 60 or the second black matrix layer 70. Therefore, the effect of preventing adjacent light interference can be effectively achieved, the utilization rate of light energy can be further improved, and the display effect is enhanced.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the retroreflective layer 40 has a cross-sectional width that tapers from the middle 41 to the top 42 and bottom 43, respectively. Thus, the middle 41 of the retroreflective layer 40 is inclined from the top 42 and the middle 41 of the retroreflective layer 40 to the bottom 43 as seen in cross section.
In some embodiments, the retroreflective layer 40 includes one or more of copper, aluminum, silver. The reflective layer 40 may be made of a material with good light reflection performance. Of course, in order to avoid interference caused by light passing through the reflective layer 40, the reflective layer 40 may be made of metal. The reflective layer 40 may be made of copper, aluminum, or silver, or a mixture of two or three of copper, aluminum, and silver.
Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments, the substrate includes a base plate 10, a first black matrix layer 60 disposed on the base plate 10, and a driving circuit layer 50 disposed on the first black matrix layer 60, with an insulating layer 90 disposed between the reflective layer 40 and the driving circuit layer 50. The driving circuit layer 50 is disposed between the first light emitting unit 20 and the substrate, and/or the driving circuit layer 50 is disposed between the second light emitting unit 30 and the substrate. The driving circuit layer 50 includes a plurality of pixel driving circuits distributed in an array, and any one of the pixel driving circuits drives at least one of the first light emitting units 20 to emit light or at least one of the second light emitting units 30 to emit light. The driving circuit layer 50 includes a plurality of thin film transistors electrically connected to each other. The thickness of the insulating layer 90 is generally 1um to 2um, so as to prevent the conduction between the reflective layer 40 and the driving circuit layer 50 from affecting signal transmission.
Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the display panel further includes an encapsulation layer 80, a first groove is disposed on the encapsulation layer 80, a second groove is disposed on the driving circuit layer 50, an insulating layer 90 is disposed in the second groove, a third groove is formed on the insulating layer 90, a top 42 of the reflective layer 40 is disposed in the first groove, and a bottom 43 of the reflective layer 40 is disposed in the third groove. The first groove means that the encapsulation layer 80 is formed by recessing inwards, the driving circuit layer 50 is provided with the second groove for accommodating the insulating layer 90, the insulating layer 90 is formed by recessing inwards to form the third groove, and here, the height of the reflective layer 40 is set to be higher, so that the top 42 of the reflective layer 40 is inserted into the first groove, and meanwhile, the bottom 43 is inserted into the third groove, so that poor display caused by light leakage at the top 42 or the bottom 43 of the reflective layer 40 can be further avoided.
Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, the display panel further includes a reflective layer 100, a concave groove is formed at a position of the encapsulation layer 80 corresponding to the first light emitting unit 20, the reflective layer 100 is disposed in the concave groove, and a length of the reflective layer 100 is greater than or equal to a distance between two adjacent reflective layers 40. Here, the first light emitting unit 20 is set to emit light upwards, and this embodiment prevents light generated by the first light emitting unit 20 from propagating from the encapsulation layer 80 by providing a reflective layer 100 between the first display surface and the first light emitting unit 20, so that the display effect of the first display surface is poor. Specifically, the height of the reflective layer 100 is at least 1um, and the length is not less than the distance between two adjacent reflective layers 40. The material of the reflective layer 100 may be one or more of copper, silver, aluminum, or other low-transmittance alloys. Namely, the application is a display panel with double-sided display, comprising a top emission structure and a bottom emission structure. Specifically, bottom emission means that light can be emitted onto the reflective layer 100 at the top and then emitted downwards, and the reflective layer 100 is an opaque layer with strong reflective capability. Top emission means that light can be directed upward through the encapsulation layer 80. The reflective layer 100 may be manufactured together with the portion of the reflective layer 40 embedded in the encapsulation layer 80 in a process, which may simplify the process. Compared with the two parts which are arranged at intervals, the two parts are connected into an integral structure, so that the light reflecting effect can be improved.

This embodiment adds a transparent conductive layer 110 or a semitransparent conductive layer between adjacent reflective layers 100, the transparent conductive layer 110 semitransparent conductive layer being integrally connected with the reflective layers 100 and electrically connected with the cathodes of the first light emitting units 20 and/or the second light emitting units 30. Therefore, the cathodes of all the light reflecting units can be electrically connected into an integral cathode network, the power supply is realized together, and the connection process of the cathodes and peripheral power supply signals is simplified. It should be noted that, although all cathodes are of the same electrical signal, the anodes of each light emitting unit are spaced apart, and each light emitting unit can still be controlled individually. The transparent conductive layer 110 is provided so as not to affect the light extraction rate of the top emission unit. The material of the transparent conductive layer 110 or the semitransparent conductive layer may be Ag/Mg alloy, or ultrathin Ag/mg+izo. The reflective layer 40 is shaped like a double trapezoid reflective column and is electrically connected to the reflective layer 100 and the transparent (or semitransparent) conductive layer, which is equivalent to increasing the thickness of the cathode network at a local position, thereby being beneficial to reducing the resistance of the whole cathode network and improving the stability of the cathode signal.

The width of the middle 41 of the reflective layer 40 is L2, the width of the top 42 of the reflective layer 40 is L1, and the width of the bottom 43 of the reflective layer 40 is L3, then L2> L1, and L2> L3. Therefore, the effect of preventing adjacent light interference can be effectively achieved, the utilization rate of light energy can be further improved, and the display effect is enhanced. The reflective layer 40 may be made of a material with good light reflection performance. Of course, in order to avoid interference caused by light passing through the reflective layer 40, the reflective layer 40 may be made of metal. The reflective layer 40 may be made of copper, aluminum, or silver, or a mixture of two or three of copper, aluminum, and silver. Finally, the residual hot melt adhesive 3 is removed, the hot melt adhesive 3 mainly plays a role in protection, and after the reflective layer 40 is manufactured, referring to the graph (10 e) in fig. 10, the residual hot melt adhesive 3 can be removed by ultraviolet curing or heat curing. Here, the height of the light reflecting layer 40 is set to be higher, so that one end and the other end of the light reflecting layer 40 refer to the top 42 and the bottom 43, respectively, the top 42 is inserted into the first groove, and the bottom 43 is inserted into the third groove, thereby further avoiding poor display caused by light leakage at the top or the bottom of the light reflecting layer 40.
After the step of S300, the method further includes the steps of:
And S400, mounting a packaging layer, wherein a first groove and a reflecting layer 100 are arranged on the packaging layer 80, the top 42 of the reflecting layer 40 is mounted on the first groove, and the reflecting layer 100 is arranged corresponding to the first light-emitting unit 20.
Referring to fig. 11 (11 a) of fig. 11, the first light emitting unit 20 may be a first Micro LED light emitting unit, and the second light emitting unit 30 may be a second Micro LED light emitting unit, and the first light emitting unit 20 and the second light emitting unit 30 are electrically connected to the driving circuit layer 50, respectively. Referring to fig. 11 (11 b) and fig. 4, the encapsulation layer 80 is disposed on the top 42 of the reflective layer 40, the second black matrix layer 70 is fabricated in the same manner as the first black matrix layer 60, a layer of black matrix material 1 is uniformly coated on the encapsulation layer 80 by coating or coating, the second black matrix layer 70 is formed after uv exposure and development under a photomask, the second black matrix layer 70 includes a plurality of black blocks disposed in an array, and the second black matrix layer 70 mainly plays a role of shading. The black blocks arranged in an array are distributed at intervals, and light outlets are formed at intervals for light rays of the second light-emitting units 30 to pass through. The packaging layer is formed with a concave groove at a position corresponding to the first light-emitting unit, the reflecting layer 100 is arranged in the concave groove, and the length of the reflecting layer 100 is greater than or equal to the distance between two adjacent reflecting layers. In this embodiment, by providing a reflective layer 100 between the first display surface and the first light emitting unit, light generated by the first light emitting unit is prevented from propagating from the packaging layer, so that the display effect of the first display surface is poor. Specifically, the height of the reflective layer 100 is at least 1um, and the length is not less than the distance between two adjacent reflective layers. The material of the reflective layer 100 may be one or more of copper, silver, aluminum, or other low-transmittance alloys. Namely, the application is a display panel with double-sided display, which comprises a top emission structure and a bottom emission structure, wherein the top emission structure and the bottom emission structure are respectively a bottom emission structure and a top emission structure. Specifically, bottom emission means that light can be emitted onto the reflective layer 100 at the top and then emitted downwards, and the reflective layer 100 is opaque and has strong reflective capability. Top emission means that light can be directed upward through the encapsulation layer 80. The reflective layer 100 may be manufactured together with the portion of the reflective layer 40 embedded in the encapsulation layer 80 in a process, which may simplify the process. Compared with the two parts which are arranged at intervals, the two parts are connected into an integral structure, so that the light reflecting effect can be improved.
Of course, when the display panel needs to be provided with the reflective layer 100, the first groove and the third groove, a schematic structural diagram of the display panel is shown in fig. 12.
