Abstract

The invention discloses a display panel, a method of manufacturing the same and a display device so as to simplify a process of transmitting an electrical signal between a first substrate and a second substrate of the display panel at a lower cost. The display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate disposed opposite to each other. The first substrate has a concave groove surrounded by a convex section and facing the second substrate. The display panel also includes an electrode layer on the surface of the groove and having at least one first conductive section extending outward from inside of the concave groove to the top end face of the convex section; and at least one second conductive section on the second substrate and electrically connected with the respective first conductive section.

Claims (17)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a first substrate and a second substrate disposed opposite to each other, the first substrate having a convex section on an outer periphery, the convex section defining a concave groove facing the second substrate, wherein the concave groove is surrounded by the convex section on the outer periphery of the first substrate;

an electrode layer disposed on an inside surface of the concave groove and including at least one first conductive section extending outward from inside of the concave groove to a top end surface of the convex section; and

at least one second conductive section disposed on the second substrate and electrically connected with the first conductive section at the top end surface of the convex section.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a preset spacing between a projection of the convex section onto the first substrate or the second substrate in a vertical direction and an edge of the first substrate or the second substrate.

3. The display panel according to claim 2 , further comprising a frame seal located in a region of the vertical projection of the concave groove onto the first substrate or the second substrate or located in the preset spacing.

4. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein a pattern of the projection of the convex section onto the first substrate or the second substrate in the vertical direction is the same as a pattern of an edge frame of the display panel and the convex section is a continuous and integral structure; or the pattern of the projection of the convex section onto the first substrate or the second substrate in the vertical direction is the same as the pattern of an edge frame of the display panel, and the convex section includes a plurality of discrete convex sub-sections.

5. The display panel according to claim 4 , wherein the pattern of the projection of the convex section onto the first substrate or the second substrate in the vertical direction is rectangular, and the first conductive section is distributed on the top end face of at least one edge frame of the convex section.

6. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the second conductive section is a conductive pad in a continuous and integral structure, or is a conductive pad in a hollow structure.

7. The display panel according to claim 6 , wherein the conductive pad in the hollow structure is grid-shaped or “ ”-shaped or “ ”-shaped or helical shaped.

8. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a thin film transistor layer disposed between the second conductive section and the second substrate.

9. The display panel according to claim 8 , further comprising an organic electro-luminescence layer disposed between the thin film transistor layer and the second conductive section, wherein the organic electro-luminescence layer is electrically connected with the thin film transistor layer.

10. The display panel according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a color filter layer located between the first substrate and the electrode layer; or disposed on the electrode layer; and

a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.

11. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the electrode layer is a touch control electrode layer; or the electrode layer is a common electrode layer.

12. A display device, comprising the display panel according to claim 1 .
