Abstract

Disclosed are a driving substrate and a display panel. The driving substrate includes a substrate defining an irregular-shape non-display area, an anode layer, located on the irregular-shape non-display area and provided with a first curved groove for encapsulating, and an organic unit array formed on a surface of the anode layer away from the substrate. The organic unit array includes a number of organic units forming a number of unit rows and unit columns. The distances between every two adjacent organic units in each unit row or in each unit column are identical. The first curved groove is located between two organic units.

Claims (20)

1. A driving substrate, comprising:

a substrate comprising an irregular-shaped non-display area;

an anode layer located on the irregular-shaped non-display area and comprising a upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the anode layer comprises a first curved groove for encapsulating extending a distance from the upper surface toward the lower surface; and

an organic unit array comprising a plurality of organic units and disposed on the upper surface of the anode layer, the plurality of organic units forming a plurality of unit rows and a plurality of unit columns, distances between every two adjacent organic units in each unit row being substantially identical, distances between every two adjacent organic units in each column row being substantially identical, and the first curved groove being located between two organic units of the organic unit array.

2. The driving substrate of claim 1 , wherein a symmetric center line of the first curved groove is a curved line, and is parallel to an edge of the irregular-shaped non-display area.

3. The driving substrate of claim 1 , wherein the anode layer is provided with an opening, and the organic unit is formed on an upper surface of the anode layer by deposition, and covers the opening on the anode layer.

4. The driving substrate of claim 1 , wherein the organic unit is in a central symmetric structure.

5. The driving substrate of claim 4 , wherein the organic unit is of a square structure.

6. The driving substrate of claim 5 , wherein the square structure has a side length of 15 μm to 20 μm.

7. The driving substrate of claim 1 , wherein the first curved groove has a width of 3 μm to 7 μm, and the distance between two adjacent organic units is 10 μm to 22 μm.

8. The driving substrate of claim 1 , wherein the first curved groove has a symmetric center line, and a distance from the symmetric center line to any one of the organic units is greater than 2 μm.

9. The driving substrate of claim 1 , wherein the substrate and the anode layer have a circuit protection layer disposed therebetween, and the circuit protection layer is provided with a second curved groove corresponding to the first curved groove.

10. The driving substrate of claim 9 , wherein a portion of the anode layer deposited in the second curved groove fills the second curved groove when forming the anode layer.

11. The driving substrate of claim 9 , wherein the circuit protection layer is made of an organic material.

12. The driving substrate of claim 9 , wherein the substrate and the circuit protection layer have a pixel drive circuit layer disposed therebetween.

13. The driving substrate of claim 1 , wherein a cathode layer is formed on a surface of the organic unit array away from the substrate, and the cathode layer is bonded to the anode layer via a plurality of gaps defined between organic units of the plurality of organic units of the organic unit array.

14. The driving substrate of claim 13 , wherein bonding areas of the cathode layer and the anode layer between every two adjacent organic units of the plurality of organic units are identical.

15. A display panel, comprising the driving substrate of claim 1 , and an irregular-shaped display area surrounded by the irregular-shaped non-display area.

16. The display panel of claim 15 , wherein an edge of the irregular-shaped display area has a shape same as that of the first curved groove.

17. The display panel of claim 15 , wherein the display panel is provided with a notch, and a portion of the non-display area surrounding the notch forms the irregular-shaped non-display area.
