Abstract

The present application discloses a display panel and a display device. The display panel includes a display area and a non-display area; the non-display area includes a bonding area away from the display area, and a plurality of terminals are disposed in the bonding area; and the non-display area further includes an anti-overflow portion disposed around the plurality of terminals. The present application prevents the problem of ACF overflow by disposing the anti-overflow portion around the plurality of terminals in the non-display area, such that the peeling of the glass substrate is facilitated, and the yield of the product is improved.

Claims (37)

1. A display panel, comprising a display area and a non-display area,

wherein the non-display area comprises a bonding area away from the display area, and a plurality of terminals are disposed in the bonding area;

wherein, the non-display area further comprises an anti-overflow portion disposed around the plurality of terminals;

the bonding area is provided with a substrate, a first planarization layer disposed on the substrate, the plurality of terminals disposed on the first planarization layer, a second planarization layer disposed on the plurality of terminals, and the anti-overflow portion disposed on the second planarization layer; and

wherein, the anti-overflow portion comprises at least one first groove, and the at least one first groove is evenly arranged in the non-display area except for an area where the plurality of terminals are located.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-overflow portion comprises a continuous channel disposed around the bonding area.

3. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein in a top view of the display panel, a diameter of a circumcircle of the first groove between adjacent ones of the terminals is smaller than that a diameter of conductive particles in an object to be overflowed; and

wherein, a difference between the diameter of the conductive particles in the object to be overflowed and the diameter of the circumcircle of the first groove is greater than 3 μm.

4. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the second planarization layer comprises at least one first via hole, and

the first via hole penetrates the second planarization layer to expose each of the terminals; and

wherein, the first via hole and the terminals are in a one-to-one correspondence, and each of the terminals is electrically connected to a printed circuit board of the display panel through the first via hole.

5. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first groove is continuously disposed along a periphery of the plurality of terminals in a top view of the display panel.

6. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first groove is located between adjacent ones of the terminals in a top view of the display panel.

7. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein, in a top view of the display panel, an opening shape of the first groove on the second planarization layer comprises a circle, a triangle, or a rectangle.

8. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the first groove on a first cross section comprises a normal trapezoid or an inverted trapezoid; and

wherein, the first cross section is perpendicular to the bonding area and parallel to a boundary of the display panel close to the bonding area.

9. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-overflow portion comprises a retaining wall portion located on the second planarization layer, and the retaining wall portion is disposed in a same level as a pixel definition layer in the display area.

10. The display panel according to claim 9 , wherein the retaining wall portion comprises at least one second groove to expose the terminals; and

wherein, the at least one second groove and the terminals are in a one-to-one correspondence.

11. The display panel according to claim 10 , wherein the retaining wall portion further comprises a third groove located between adjacent ones of the terminals, and

a depth of the third groove is smaller than a height of the retaining wall portion.

12. A display device, comprising a display panel, a polarizer layer disposed on the display panel, and a cover layer disposed on the polarizer layer,

wherein the display panel comprises a display area and a non-display area;

wherein the non-display area comprises a bonding area away from the display area, and a plurality of terminals are disposed in the bonding area;

wherein, the non-display area further comprises an anti-overflow portion disposed around the plurality of terminals;

the bonding area is provided with a substrate, a first planarization layer disposed on the substrate, the plurality of terminals disposed on the first planarization layer, a second planarization layer disposed on the plurality of terminals, and the anti-overflow portion disposed on the second planarization layer; and

wherein, the anti-overflow portion comprises at least one first groove, and the at least one first groove is evenly arranged in the non-display area except for an area where the plurality of terminals are located.

13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the anti-overflow portion comprises a continuous channel disposed around the bonding area.

14. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein in a top view of the display panel, a diameter of a circumcircle of the first groove between adjacent ones of the terminals is smaller than that a diameter of conductive particles in an object to be overflowed; and

wherein, a difference between the diameter of the conductive particles in the object to be overflowed and the diameter of the circumcircle of the first groove is greater than 3 μm.

15. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein a shape of the first groove on a first cross section comprises a normal trapezoid or an inverted trapezoid; and

wherein, the first cross section is perpendicular to the bonding area and parallel to a boundary of the display panel close to the bonding area.

16. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the anti-overflow portion comprises a retaining wall portion located on the second planarization layer, and the retaining wall portion is disposed in a same level as a pixel definition layer in the display area.

17. The display device according to claim 16 , wherein the retaining wall portion comprises at least one second groove to expose the terminals; and

wherein, the at least one second groove and the terminals are in a one-to-one correspondence.

18. The display device according to claim 17 , wherein the retaining wall portion further comprises a third groove located between adjacent ones of the terminals, and

a depth of the third groove is smaller than a height of the retaining wall portion.
