Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a display screen, which includes an array layer, a planarization layer, a pixel defining layer, a support layer, and a buffer layer. The planarization layer is located on a surface of the array layer. The pixel defining layer is located on a surface of the planarization layer away from the array layer, and the support layer is located on a surface of the pixel defining layer away from the planarization layer. The buffer layer is located on at least one of an end surface of the support layer away from the pixel defining layer and an end surface of the support layer adjacent to the pixel defining layer.

Claims (34)

1. A display screen, comprising:

an array layer;

a planarization layer overlaying a surface of the array layer;

a pixel defining layer positioned on a surface of the planarization layer away from the array layer;

a support layer positioned on a surface of the pixel defining layer away from the planarization layer; and

a buffer layer positioned on at least one of an end surface of the support layer away from the pixel defining layer and an end surface of the support layer adjacent to the pixel defining layer; wherein the buffer layer is elastic.

2. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer layer comprises a plurality of buffers, the support layer comprises a plurality of support groups, each of the support groups comprises a plurality of support pillars, and at least one of an end surface of the support pillar away from the pixel defining layer and an end surface of the support pillar adjacent to the pixel defining layer respectively has one of the buffers provided thereon.

3. The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the end surface of each of the support pillars away from the pixel defining layer and the end surface thereof adjacent to the pixel defining layer is covered by one of the buffers, respectively.

4. The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of buffers are formed on at least one of the end surfaces of at least one of the support pillars away from the pixel defining layer and the end surface thereof adjacent to the pixel defining layer.

5. The display screen according to claim 4 , wherein distances between the plurality of buffers are equal to each other.

6. The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein at least a portion of a side surface of at least one of adjacent two support pillars is covered by the buffer.

7. The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein the support pillar has a shape of rectangular parallelepiped, cube, cylinder, truncated cone, or truncated pyramid.

8. The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein adjacent two support pillars are connected by one connecting portion in each of the support groups.

9. The display screen according to claim 8 , wherein a plurality of the connecting portions extend along the same direction.

10. The display screen according to claim 8 , wherein an end surface of the connecting portion away from the pixel defining layer is flush with the end surface of the support pillar away from the pixel defining layer, or an end surface of the connecting portion adjacent to the pixel defining layer is flush with the end surface of the support pillar adjacent to the pixel defining layer.

11. The display screen according to claim 10 , wherein each of the connecting portions is provided with the buffer on at least one of an end surface thereof away from the pixel defining layer and an end surface thereof adjacent to the pixel defining layer.

12. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer layer is made of organic glue, fibers, or a mixture of organic glue and fibers.

13. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the organic glue is selected from epoxy resin glue, optical glue, and curing glue.

14. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the pixel defining layer is provided with a pixel accommodating cavity configured to accommodate pixels.

15. The display screen according to claim 14 , wherein the pixel accommodating cavity has a shape of truncated pyramid, cube, or rectangular parallelepiped.

16. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the support layer is provided with a package structure on a side of the support layer away from the pixel defining layer.

17. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the package structure comprises a first inorganic layer, an organic layer, and a second inorganic layer in sequence.

18. A display device, comprising:

a display screen of claim 1 ; and

a housing assembled with the display screen.

19. A display screen, comprising:

an array layer;

a planarization layer overlaying a surface of the array layer;

a pixel defining layer positioned on a surface of the planarization layer away from the array layer;

a support layer positioned on a surface of the pixel defining layer away from the planarization layer; and

a buffer layer positioned on at least one of an end surface of the support layer away from the pixel defining layer and an end surface of the support layer adjacent to the pixel defining layer;

wherein the buffer layer comprises a plurality of buffers, the support layer comprises a plurality of support groups, each of the support groups comprises a plurality of support pillars;

wherein adjacent two support pillars are connected by one connecting portion in each of the support groups; and

wherein an end surface of the connecting portion away from the pixel defining layer is flush with an end surface of the support pillar away from the pixel defining layer, or an end surface of the connecting portion adjacent to the pixel defining layer is flush with an end surface of the support pillar adjacent to the pixel defining layer.
