Abstract

A display panel is provided. The display panel includes a substrate, a light-shielding positioning layer and a transparent positioning layer. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The light-shielding positioning layer is disposed on the first layer and has at least one first alignment pattern. The transparent positioning layer is disposed on the second layer and has at least one second alignment pattern. In a direction perpendicular to the substrate, the at least one first alignment pattern overlaps with the at least one second alignment pattern. A manufacturing method of the display panel is also provided.

Claims (24)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a substrate, having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a light-shielding positioning layer, disposed on the first surface, wherein the light-shielding positioning layer has at least one first alignment pattern; and

a transparent positioning layer, disposed on the second surface, wherein the transparent positioning layer has at least one second alignment pattern, and in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, the at least one first alignment pattern overlaps with the at least one second alignment pattern.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first insulation layer, disposed on the first surface; and

a plurality of pixel units, disposed on the first insulation layer, and each of the pixel units comprising:

an element layer, disposed on the first insulation layer;

a second insulation layer, disposed on the element layer; and

a plurality of conductive lines, disposed on the second insulation layer and electrically connected to the element layer, wherein

the substrate has a display region and a peripheral region surrounding the display region, the display region comprises a plurality of element areas, a conductive line area and at least one alignment pattern area, the element areas and the at least one alignment pattern area are separated from each other, and the conductive line area surrounds the element areas and the at least one alignment pattern area, and

the pixel units are located in the display region, and the at least one first alignment pattern is disposed corresponding to the at least one alignment pattern area or the peripheral region.

3. The display panel according to claim 2 , wherein the element layer comprises an active element and a signal line electrically connected to the active element, the active element is disposed corresponding to one of the element areas, and in the direction perpendicular to the substrate, and the signal line and the conductive lines does not overlap with the at least one first alignment pattern.

4. The display panel according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one first alignment pattern is plural, and the first alignment patterns are disposed corresponding to the at least one alignment pattern area and the peripheral region.

5. The display panel according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one first alignment pattern is located in the at least one alignment pattern area, and in the direction perpendicular to the substrate, a part of the pixel units overlaps with the at least one alignment pattern area.

6. The display panel according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one first alignment pattern is disposed corresponding to a corner of the peripheral region.

7. The display panel according to claim 2 , further comprising:

at least one first pad, disposed on the element layer, and electrically connected to the element layer;

a protection layer, disposed on the conductive lines and the at least one first pad;

at least one second pad, disposed on the transparent positioning layer; and

at least one connection structure, electrically connected to the at least one first pad and the at least one second pad,

wherein the display region of the substrate further comprises at least one pad region, the at least one pad region and the at least one alignment pattern area are separated from each other, the at least one first pad and the at least one second pad are disposed corresponding to the at least one pad region, and in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, the at least one first pad overlaps with the at least one second pad.

8. The display panel according to claim 2 , wherein each of the pixel units further comprises:

a light-emitting element, disposed on the conductive lines, wherein the light-emitting element is disposed corresponding to one of the element areas, and the light-emitting element is electrically connected to the conductive lines.
