Display panel and system for displaying images utilizing the same
View Patent ↗An embodiment of the invention provides a display panel, which includes a substrate having a pixel region and a peripheral region, a conducting layer overlying the substrate in the peripheral region, a first insulating layer overlying the conducting layer in the peripheral region, wherein a ratio between an area of the first insulating layer and an area of the conducting layer in the peripheral region is between about 0.27 and 0.99, a lower electrode layer overlying the first insulating layer, a second insulating layer overlying the lower electrode layer, and an upper electrode layer overlying the second insulating layer.
1. A display panel, comprising:
a substrate having a pixel region and a peripheral region;
a conducting layer overlying the substrate in the peripheral region;
a first insulating layer formed on the conducting layer and the substrate in the peripheral region, wherein the first insulating layer has at least one opening exposing the conducting layer, wherein a ratio between an area of the first insulating layer on the conducting layer and an area of the conducting layer in the peripheral region is between about 0.27 and 0.99;
a lower electrode layer overlying the first insulating layer and has at least one recessed portion, wherein the at least one recessed portion corresponds to a position of the at least one opening and is conformally formed on an upper surface of the first insulating layer;
a second insulating layer overlying the lower electrode layer; and
an upper electrode layer overlying the second insulating layer in the peripheral region.
2. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a depth of the at least one recessed portion is more than 0.08 μm.
3. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one recessed portion has a width ranging between 2.5 μm and 300 μm.
4. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first insulating layer has a plurality of openings arranged in an array.
5. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one opening has a shape of a square, a rectangle, a polygon, a circle, or combinations thereof.
6. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the lower electrode layer has a plurality of recessed portions, and a spacing between the plurality of recessed portions is between about 20 μm and about 80 μm.
7. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a depth of the at least one recessed portion is between about 0.08 μm and about 0.30 μm.
8. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second insulating layer has a thickness ranging between about 1.5 μm and about 3.0 μm.
9. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the lower electrode layer has a surface roughness ranging between about 5% and about 40%.
10. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conducting layer further comprises a first trench.
11. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lower electrode layer further comprises a second trench.
12. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conducting layer is overlying the substrate in the pixel region and serves as a data line.
13. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second insulating layer is a coated organic insulating layer.
14. A system for displaying images, comprising:
a display element comprising the display panel as claimed in claim 1 .
15. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising:
an electronic element, wherein the electronic element comprises:
the display panel; and
an input element coupled to the display element and providing a signal to the display element for displaying images.
16. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the electronic element is a mobile phone, a digital camera, a personal digital assistant, a portable computer, a personal computer, a television, a vehicle display, or a portable DVD.
