Abstract
Provided is a display panel including sub-pixel electrodes and a metal bank layer on the sub-pixel electrodes, the metal bank layer including openings on the sub-pixel electrodes and a groove between the sub-pixel electrodes. An insulating layer is on the sub-pixel electrodes and between the sub-pixel electrodes, a bridge line is on the insulating layer between the sub-pixel electrodes, including the same material as a material of the metal bank layer, an intermediate layer is on the sub-pixel electrodes through the opening of the metal bank layer, and an opposite electrode disposed on the intermediate layer in the openings of the metal bank layer wherein, in a plan view, the groove is configured to surround at least a portion of the bridge line.
Claims24
A display panel comprising:
- sub-pixel electrodes;
- a metal bank layer on the sub-pixel electrodes, the metal bank layer comprising openings on the sub-pixel electrodes and a groove between sub-pixel electrodes, the metal bank layer being absent in the openings and the groove;
- an insulating layer on the sub-pixel electrodes and under the metal bank layer;
- a bridge line disposed on the insulating layer between the sub-pixel electrodes, wherein the bridge line includes the same material as the metal bank layer;
- an intermediate layer on the sub-pixel electrodes in the openings of the metal bank layer;
- and
- an opposite electrode disposed on the intermediate layer in the openings of the metal bank layer,
- wherein, in a plan view, the groove surrounds at least a portion of the bridge line.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display panel comprising a transmission area and a display area surrounding the transmission area;
- and
- a component disposed on a rear surface of the display panel and corresponding to the transmission area,
- wherein the display panel comprises:
- sub-pixel electrodes;
- a metal bank layer on the sub-pixel electrodes, the metal bank layer comprising openings on the sub-pixel electrodes and a groove between sub-pixel electrodes, the metal bank layer being absent in the openings and the groove;
- an insulating layer on the sub-pixel electrodes and under the metal bank layer;
- a bridge line disposed on the insulating layer between the sub-pixel electrodes, wherein the bridge line includes a same material as the metal bank layer;
- an intermediate layer on the sub-pixel electrodes in the opening of the metal bank layer;
- and
- an opposite electrode disposed on the intermediate layer in the openings of the metal bank layer,
- wherein the bridge line is spaced apart from the metal bank layer with the groove therebetween.
