Abstract

A display panel, a manufacturing method thereof and a display device are provided. The display panel includes a plurality of functional layers arranged on a base substrate. A portion of at least one of the functional layers is removed to form a gap portion. The display panel further includes a light-transmissible structure including the gap portion and configured to allow a light beam to pass therethrough to an optical sensing element arranged at a position corresponding to the light-transmissible structure. An orthogonal projection of the gap portion onto the base substrate overlaps an orthogonal projection of the optical sensing element onto the base substrate.

Claims (23)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel, wherein the display panel comprises a base substrate, a planarization layer arranged on the base substrate, and an organic electroluminescent structure arranged on the planarization layer, wherein at least the planarization layer comprises a gap portion;

the display panel further comprises a light-transmissible structure comprising the gap portion, the light-transmissible structure is configured to allow a light beam to pass through the light-transmissible structure and arrive at an optical sensing element arranged at a position corresponding to the light-transmissible structure, and an orthogonal projection of the gap portion onto the base substrate at least partially overlaps an orthogonal projection of the optical sensing element onto the base substrate; and

the display panel further comprises a wire layer arranged on the base substrate, wherein an orthogonal projection of each wire at the wire layer onto the base substrate does not overlap an orthogonal projection of the light-transmissible structure onto the base substrate; and

the optical sensing element arranged at a non-display side of the display panel and arranged opposite to the light-transmissible structure;

wherein the display device is a flexible display device; and

the display device further comprises: a bottom film layer attached to the non-display side of the display panel, and a buffer shielding layer arranged at a side of the bottom film layer distal to the display panel,

wherein each of the bottom film layer and the buffer shielding layer is provided with an opening, an orthogonal projection of the opening onto the display panel at least partially overlaps an orthogonal projection of the light-transmissible structure onto the display panel, and the optical sensing element is arranged within the openings.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the optical sensing element is a camera.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the orthogonal projection of the gap portion onto the display panel completely overlaps the orthogonal projection of the light-transmissible structure onto the display panel.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the gap portion is a groove or a hollowed-out structure.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the organic electroluminescent structure comprises an anode, a light-emitting layer and a cathode laminated one on another sequentially, and at least one of the anode, the light-emitting layer and the cathode comprises the gap portion.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein

the base substrate is a flexible base substrate comprising a single-layered polyimide film or a transparent polyimide film.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light-transmissible structure is arranged at a display region of the display panel.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a light transmittance of the light-transmissible structure is greater than a threshold, the threshold is a light transmittance of 60%.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the orthogonal projection of the gap portion onto the base substrate completely overlaps the orthogonal projection of the optical sensing element onto the base substrate.
