Abstract

A display panel includes a substrate, a drive layer, an isolation column, a light emitting device layer, and a through hole. The substrate has an opening area, a transition area surrounding the opening area, and a display area surrounding the transition area. The drive layer is arranged on a side of the substrate and covers the display area and the transition area. The portion of the drive layer located in the transition area includes a light reflective layer surrounding the opening area. The isolation column is arranged on a surface of the drive layer facing away from the substrate and is located in the transition area. The isolation column surrounds the opening area. A contour line of a projection of the isolation column on the substrate is located inside a contour line of a projection of the light reflective layer on the substrate.

Claims (18)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a substrate having an opening area, a transition area surrounding the opening area, and a display area surrounding the transition area;

a drive layer provided on a side of the substrate and covering the display area and the transition area, wherein a portion of the drive layer is located in the transition area comprises a light reflective layer surrounding the opening area;

an isolation column arranged on a surface of a boss of the drive layer facing away from the substrate and located in the transition area, wherein the isolation column surrounds the opening area, a contour line of a projection of the isolation column on the substrate is located within a contour line of a projection of the light reflective layer on the substrate, and the isolation column is used to partition the light emitting layer; and a side wall of the isolation column is provided with a groove;

a light emitting device layer covers the drive layer and the isolation column, wherein the light emitting device layer comprises a light emitting layer, and the light emitting layer is discontinuous at the groove; and

a through hole penetrating the drive layer and the light emitting device layer and located in the opening area;

wherein in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, the light reflective layer in the portion of the drive layer corresponding to the isolation column comprises an upper light reflective layer and a lower light reflective layer;

the drive layer comprises a thin film transistor and a capacitor electrode in the display area, and a gate of the thin film transistor and the capacitor electrode form a storage capacitor;

the gate and the lower light reflective layer are arranged in a first layer, the capacitor electrode and the upper light reflective layer are arranged in a second layer, and a source and a drain of the thin film transistor and the isolation column are arranged in a third layer and

wherein a distance between the contour line of the projection of the light reflective layer on the substrate and the contour line of the projection of the isolation column on the substrate is greater than 1 μm.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the boss matching a shape of the light reflective layer is formed in an area of the drive layer corresponding to the light reflective layer.

3. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein, the upper and lower light reflective layers in the direction perpendicular to the substrate, a contour line of a projection of the upper light reflective layer facing away from the substrate on the substrate is located within a contour line of a projection of the lower light reflective layer close to the substrate on the substrate.

4. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein:

the number of the isolation columns is multiple, and each of the isolation columns is arranged concentrically around the opening area; and

in the direction perpendicular to the substrate, a portion of the drive layer corresponding to each of the isolation columns has the upper and lower light reflective layers.

5. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the isolation column comprises a first metal layer, a second metal layer and a third metal layer that are sequentially stacked in a direction away from the substrate, and an outer edge of the first metal layer and an outer edge of the third metal layer protrude from an outer edge of the second metal layer to form the groove on a side wall of the isolation column; at least one of the first metal layer, the second metal layer and the third metal layer comprises a reflective metal material.

6. The display panel of claim 5 , wherein a material of the first metal layer and the third metal layer comprises titanium, and a material of the second metal layer comprises aluminum.

7. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel is part of a display device.
