Abstract

The present application discloses a display panel and a display device. The display panel includes: a base substrate; a reference power line, arranged in a non-display area and including a first electrode metal layer and a second electrode metal layer which are arranged on the base substrate in sequence in a stacked manner; and an encapsulating structure, arranged on a side, deviating from the base substrate, of the reference power line; where in the reference power line, a projection of the second electrode metal layer on the base substrate is arranged within a projection of the encapsulating structure on the base substrate, and a projection of the first electrode metal layer on the base substrate goes beyond an edge of the projection of the encapsulating structure on the base substrate.

Claims (39)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a base substrate;

a reference power line, arranged in a non-display area and comprising a first electrode metal layer and a second electrode metal layer which are arranged on the base substrate in sequence in a stacked manner; and

an encapsulating structure, arranged on a side, deviating from the base substrate, of the reference power line; wherein in the reference power line, a projection of the second electrode metal layer on the base substrate is arranged within a projection of the encapsulating structure on the base substrate, and a projection of the first electrode metal layer on the base substrate goes beyond an edge of the projection of the encapsulating structure on the base substrate;

wherein the display panel further comprises:

an inorganic insulating layer arranged between the first electrode metal layer and the second electrode metal layer, wherein the inorganic insulating layer completely covers a part of the first electrode metal layer going beyond an edge of the encapsulating structure;

wherein the inorganic insulating layer is provided with an opening, the first electrode metal layer comprises a first part and a second part, and the second electrode metal layer is in contact with the first part of the first electrode metal layer at the opening in a stacked manner.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein a material of the inorganic insulating layer comprises silicon oxide or silicon nitride.

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

a blocking dam arranged between the second electrode metal layer and the encapsulating structure, wherein the blocking dam covers on a side, close to an edge of the encapsulating structure, of the second electrode metal layer.

4. The display panel of claim 3 , further comprising:

a pixel definition layer arranged between the second electrode metal layer and the encapsulating structure; wherein the pixel definition layer and the blocking dam belong to a same film layer.

5. The display panel of claim 4 , further comprising:

an organic insulating layer arranged between the pixel definition layer and the second electrode metal layer.

6. The display panel of claim 5 , wherein on the side, close to the edge of the encapsulating structure, of the second electrode metal layer, the organic insulating layer completely covers the second electrode metal layer.

7. The display panel of claim 6 , wherein on the side, close to the edge of the encapsulating structure, of the second electrode metal layer, the blocking dam completely covers the organic insulating layer.

8. The display panel of claim 7 , further comprising a cathode layer arranged on a side, far away from the second electrode metal layer, of the pixel definition layer;

part of the first electrode metal layer goes beyond the edge of the encapsulating structure, and at the position at which the first electrode metal layer does not go beyond the edge of the encapsulating structure, the cathode layer is electrically connected with the second electrode metal layer.

9. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode metal layer and the second electrode metal layer are titanium/aluminum/titanium metal composite film layers.

10. A display device, comprising a display panel, wherein the display panel comprises:

a base substrate;

a reference power line, arranged in a non-display area and comprising a first electrode metal layer and a second electrode metal layer which are arranged on the base substrate in sequence in a stacked manner; and

an encapsulating structure, arranged on a side, deviating from the base substrate, of the reference power line; wherein in the reference power line, a projection of the second electrode metal layer on the base substrate is arranged within a projection of the encapsulating structure on the base substrate, and a projection of the first electrode metal layer on the base substrate goes beyond an edge of the projection of the encapsulating structure on the base substrate;

wherein the display panel further comprises:

an inorganic insulating layer arranged between the first electrode metal layer and the second electrode metal layer, wherein the inorganic insulating layer completely covers a part of the first electrode metal layer going beyond an edge of the encapsulating structure;

wherein the inorganic insulating layer is provided with an opening, the first electrode metal layer comprises a first part and a second part, and the second electrode metal layer is in contact with the first part of the first electrode metal layer at the opening in a stacked manner.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein a material of the inorganic insulating layer comprises silicon oxide or silicon nitride.

12. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the display panel further comprises:

a blocking dam arranged between the second electrode metal layer and the encapsulating structure, wherein the blocking dam covers on a side, close to an edge of the encapsulating structure, of the second electrode metal layer.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the display panel further comprises:

a pixel definition layer arranged between the second electrode metal layer and the encapsulating structure; wherein the pixel definition layer and the blocking dam belong to a same film layer.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the display panel further comprises:

an organic insulating layer arranged between the pixel definition layer and the second electrode metal layer.

15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein on the side, close to the edge of the encapsulating structure, of the second electrode metal layer, the organic insulating layer completely covers the second electrode metal layer.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein on the side, close to the edge of the encapsulating structure, of the second electrode metal layer, the blocking dam completely covers the organic insulating layer.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the display panel further comprises:

a cathode layer arranged on a side, far away from the second electrode metal layer, of the pixel definition layer;

part of the first electrode metal layer goes beyond the edge of the encapsulating structure, and at the position at which the first electrode metal layer does not go beyond the edge of the encapsulating structure, the cathode layer is electrically connected with the second electrode metal layer.

18. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the first electrode metal layer and the second electrode metal layer are titanium/aluminum/titanium metal composite film layers.
