Abstract

A display panel includes a display area, and the display area includes a first display area and a second display area; the first display area and the second display area each include light-emitting areas, and the second display area further includes light transmissive areas. The manufacturing method includes forming, on a side of a substrate, a light-to-heat conversion layer covering at least a second display area; forming, on a side of the light-to-heat conversion layer facing away from the substrate, a light-emitting functional layer and a second electrode layer each covering the display area, where portions of the second electrode layer which are located in at least adjacent two light-emitting areas are connected; and removing, in at least part of the plurality of light transmissive areas, the light-to-heat conversion layer and all film layers located on a side of the light-to-heat conversion layer facing away from the substrate.

Claims (21)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a display area, wherein the display area comprises a first display area and a second display area; wherein the second display area is reused as a light sensing element setting area; wherein the first display area and the second display area each comprise a plurality of light-emitting areas, and the second display area further comprises a plurality of light transmissive areas; and

wherein the display panel comprises:

a substrate; and

a light-to-heat conversion layer, a light-emitting functional layer, and a second electrode layer, wherein the light-to-heat conversion layer, the light-emitting functional layer, and the second electrode layer are located on a side of the substrate and sequentially disposed;

wherein the light-to-heat conversion layer, the light-emitting functional layer, and the second electrode layer are not overlapped with at least part of the plurality of light transmissive areas;

wherein the display panel further comprises a plurality of first electrodes, wherein each of the plurality of first electrodes is located at least in a corresponding light-emitting area of the plurality of light-emitting areas, and is not overlapped with the plurality of light transmissive areas; and

wherein a film layer where the light-to-heat conversion layer is located is located on a side of a film layer where the first electrode is located facing away from the substrate, and the light-to-heat conversion layer is not overlapped with the plurality of first electrodes.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of reflective layers, wherein a film layer where the plurality of reflective layers is located is located between the light-to-heat conversion layer and the substrate, and each of the plurality of reflective layers is located at an edge of a respective one of at least part of the plurality of light transmissive areas.

3. A display device, comprising:

a display panel and a light sensing element located in the second display area;

wherein the display panel comprises a display area, wherein the display area comprises a first display area and a second display area; wherein the second display area is reused as a light sensing element setting area; wherein the first display area and the second display area each comprise a plurality of light-emitting areas, and the second display area further comprises a plurality of light transmissive areas;

wherein the display panel comprises a substrate, a light-to-heat conversion layer, a light-emitting functional layer, and a second electrode layer, wherein the light-to-heat conversion layer, the light-emitting functional layer, and the second electrode layer are located on a side of the substrate and sequentially disposed, wherein portions of the second electrode layer which are located in at least adjacent two of the plurality of light-emitting areas are connected;

wherein the light-to-heat conversion layer, the light-emitting functional layer, and the second electrode layer are not overlapped with at least part of the plurality of light transmissive areas; and

wherein the light sensing element is located on a side of the substrate facing away from the light-to-heat conversion layer, and a photosensitive surface of the light sensing element faces toward the substrate.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the display panel further comprises:

a plurality of reflective layers, wherein a film layer where the plurality of reflective layers is located is located between the light-to-heat conversion layer and the substrate, and each of the plurality of reflective layers is located at an edge of a respective one of at least part of the plurality of light transmissive areas.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the display panel further comprises:

a plurality of first electrodes, wherein each of the plurality of first electrodes is located at least in a corresponding light-emitting area of the plurality of light-emitting areas, and is not overlapped with the plurality of light transmissive areas;

wherein a film layer where the light-to-heat conversion layer is located is located on a side of a film layer where the first electrode is located facing away from the substrate, and the light-to-heat conversion layer is not overlapped with the plurality of first electrodes.
