Abstract
A display panel including a first substrate, a second substrate, a display medium layer and a sealant is provided. The second substrate is assembled with the first substrate. The display medium layer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The sealant is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, surrounds the display medium layer and includes a continuous one-piece pattern, wherein the continuous one-piece pattern includes a first segment and a second segment, and a difference between a width of the first segment and a width of the second segment is greater than or equal to a third of the width of the second segment.
Claims7
A display panel comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate assembled with the first substrate;
- a display medium layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
- a hydrophobic surface disposed on at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, facing the display medium layer;
- a sealant-contacting surface disposed on the at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, and being less hydrophobic than the hydrophobic surface, wherein the hydrophobic surface comprises an inner portion and an outer portion sandwiching the sealant-contacting surface;
- a sealant disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and extending within the sealant-contacting surface;
- an alignment layer disposed on the at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate and surrounded by the sealant, wherein the inner portion is defined by the alignment layer and an orthographic projection of the outer portion on the first substrate does not overlap with an orthographic projection of the alignment layer on the first substrate;
- and
- a conductive layer disposed on the at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate and extended across the sealant to define the outer portion of the hydrophobic surface.
