Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to an array substrate, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel and a display device. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display is a self-luminescent display. Compared with a liquid crystal display (LCD), the OLED display does not require a backlight and hence is lighter and thinner. In addition, the OLED display is more and more applied in various high-performance display fields due to the advantages of high brightness, low power consumption, wide viewing angle, high response speed, wide service temperature range, etc. 
     However, an OLED display panel is a core component of the conventional OLED display and formed by encapsulating an OLED array substrate and a package substrate. The OLED array substrate includes a plurality of OLED elements. But the luminous efficiency of the OLED elements cannot reach 100%, namely electric energy injected into the OLED elements cannot be completely converted into optical energy, and most electric energy is converted into the optical energy. Therefore, after long-term operation of the OLED elements, a large amount of produced heat will be gathered on the OLED elements, which may damage the OLED elements and hence can result in abnormal display of the OLED display. 
     In the currently common heat-conducting means, for instance, heat-conducting glue and a heat-conducting backplane are disposed on a lower surface of an OLED display panel (namely a lower surface of the OLED array substrate). But in this heat-conducting means, the heat produced by the OLED elements can be transferred to the lower surface of the OLED array substrate only by running through a plurality of layer structures of the OLED array substrate. Therefore, the heat produced by the OLED elements cannot be rapidly and effectively conducted. 
     SUMMARY 
     At least one embodiment of the disclosure provides an array substrate, comprising: a base substrate; a plurality of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) elements disposed on the base substrate; and a non-conductive layer in contact with the OLED elements, heat-conducting particles being doped in the non-conductive layer. 
     In some examples, the non-conductive layer includes: a planarization layer disposed on one side of the OLED element close to the base substrate, and the heat-conducting particles are doped in the planarization layer. 
     In some examples, a volume ratio of the heat-conducting particles doped in the planarization layer to the planarization layer is 10%-20%. 
     In some examples, the array substrate further includes a pixel defining layer (PDL) for separating the plurality of OLED elements, and the heat-conducting particles are doped in the PDL. 
     In some examples, a volume ratio of the heat-conducting particles in the PDL to the PDL is 10%-20%. 
     In some examples, the heat-conducting particles are nanometer heat-conducting particles. 
     In some examples, the heat-conducting particles are made from at least one selected from the group consisting of alumina, aluminum nitride, gallium arsenide and gallium phosphide. 
     In some examples, an anode layer is disposed on one side of the OLED element close to the base substrate and in contact with the planarization layer. 
     In some examples, the heat-conducting particles in the non-conductive layer have a heat conductivity greater than that of materials of the non-conductive layer.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     For more clear understanding of the objectives, technical proposals and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure, clear and complete description will be given below to the technical proposals of the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the preferred embodiments are only partial embodiments of the present disclosure but not all the embodiments. All the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts on the basis of the embodiments of the present disclosure illustrated shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. 
     In addition, the terms “first” and “second” are only used for describing the objectives and cannot be regarded as the indication or implication of the relative importance or the implication of the number of the indicated technical characteristics. Thus, the characteristic defined by “first” or “second” may indicate or implicit that one or more characteristics are included. In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise indicated, “a plurality of” refers to two or more than two. 
     The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an array substrate, which comprises a base substrate and a plurality of OLED elements disposed on the base substrate. The array substrate further comprises a non-conductive layer in contact with the OLED elements. Heat-conducting particles are doped in the non-conductive layer. 
     In this way, the heat produced by the OLED elements can be rapidly dispersed to the entire OLED display panel through the heat-conducting particles in the non-conductive layer in contact with the OLED elements, so that the heat produced by the OLED elements can be rapidly conducted to an external surface of the OLED display panel, and hence the damage of the heat on the OLED elements and the display device can be avoided. Therefore, the service life of the OLED elements and the display device can be improved. 
     Illustratively,  FIG. 1  is a schematic structural view of an array substrate  100  provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. The array substrate  100  comprises: a base substrate  11 , thin-film transistors (TFTs)  01  distributed in an array on the base substrate  11 , a planarization layer  02  disposed on the TFTs  01 , and a plurality of OLED elements  21  disposed on the planarization layer  02 . 
     At this point, the non-conductive layer may be the planarization layer  02 . As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , heat-conducting particles  03  may be disposed in the planarization layer  02 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , as the OLED elements  21  are disposed on the planarization layer  02 , the heat produced by the OLED elements  21  during operation can be rapidly conducted to the external surface of the OLED display device through the heat-conducting particles  03  in the planarization layer  02  adjacent to the OLED elements, and hence the damage of the heat on the OLED elements and the display device can be avoided. 
     Alternatively, similarly to the array substrate  100  as illustrated in  FIG. 1 , as illustrated in  FIG. 2 , the array substrate  100  further comprises a pixel defining layer (PDL)  4  disposed on the planarization layer  02  and configured to separate the plurality of OLED elements  21 . At this point, the non-conductive layer may be the PDL  04 , and the heat-conducting particles  03  may be disposed in the PDL  04 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 2 , as the main function of the PDL  04  is to separate the OLED elements  21  in a plurality of pixel units, the PDL  04  may be in direct contact with the OLED elements  21 . Thus, as the heat-conducting particles  03  are disposed in the PDL  04 , the heat produced by the OLED elements  21  during operation can be rapidly dispersed to the entire OLED display panel directly through the heat-conducting particles  03  in the PDL  04 , and hence the damage of the heat on the OLED elements and the display device can be avoided. 
     It should be noted that the heat-conducting particles  03  may also be simultaneously disposed in the planarization layer  02  and the PDL  04  and simultaneously conduct the heat produced by the OLED elements  21  during operation, so that the thermal efficiency of the entire OLED display panel can be improved. 
     Moreover, as illustrated in  FIG. 3 , an emitting anode layer  05  is disposed in the OLED element  21 , may be made from metallic materials or conductive materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO), and is in contact with the planarization layer  02 . As the emitting anode layers  05  have low thickness and high heat conductivity, the heat produced by the OLED elements  21  during operation may also be conducted through the emitting anode layers  05  and subsequently be rapidly dispersed to the entire OLED display panel through the heat-conducting particles  03  in the planarization layer  02 . 
     Moreover, as the heat-conducting particles  03  cannot effectively disperse heat produced by the OLED elements  21  when the number is too small and cannot ensure the performances of the planarization layer  02  or the PDL  04  when the number is too large, optionally, the volume ratio of the heat-conducting particles  03  to the planarization layer  02  may be set to be 10%-20%; and similarly, the volume ratio of the heat-conducting particles  03  to the PDL  04  may be set to be 10%-20%. 
     Optionally, the heat-conducting particles  03  are nanometer heat-conducting particles. 
     The heat-conducting particles  03  are made from nonmetallic materials of which the coefficient of heat conductivity is greater than the threshold, namely the nonmetallic materials with high coefficient of heat conductivity are selected to form the heat-conducting particles  03 . For instance, the heat conductivity of the heat-conducting particles is greater than that of the materials of the non-conductive layer. Therefore, the heat produced by the OLED elements may be conducted by the non-conductive layer doped with the heat-conducting particles. 
     For instance, the heat-conducting particles  03  may be uniformly distributed in the planarization layer  02  and/or the PDL  04 . 
     For instance, the planarization layer  02  and the PDL  04  are made from insulating materials. 
     For instance, the heat-conducting particles  03  are made from alumina, aluminum nitride, gallium arsenide, gallium phosphide, etc. No limitation will be given here in the embodiment of the present disclosure. 
     It should be noted that: as similar to the prior art, the array substrate  100  provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may also comprise spacers, an insulating layer, a polycrystalline silicon layer, a buffer layer, etc. As similar to the prior art, the positional relationships thereof may be set by those skilled in the art according to actual experience. No further description will be given here in the embodiment of the present disclosure. 
     Moreover, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an OLED display panel  200 , which comprises any foregoing array substrate  100 . 
     Illustratively, as illustrated in  FIG. 4 , the OLED display panel  200  comprises an array substrate  100  and a package substrate  31  which are arranged opposite to each other. OLED elements  21  disposed on the array substrate  100  are also disposed between the array substrate  100  and the package substrate  31 . 
     As the heat-conducting particles are doped in the non-conductive layer of the array substrate, the heat produced by the OLED elements can be rapidly dispersed to the entire OLED display panel through the heat-conducting particles in the non-conductive layer in contact with the OLED elements, so that the heat produced by the OLED elements can be rapidly conducted to an external surface of the OLED display panel, and hence the damage of the heat on the OLED elements and the display device can be avoided. Therefore, the service life of the OLED elements and the display device can be improved. 
     The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a display device, which comprises any foregoing array substrate. The display device may be: any product or component with display function such as an LCD panel, e-paper, an OLED panel, a mobile phone, a tablet PC, a TV, a display, a notebook computer, a digital picture frame and a navigator. 
     The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an array substrate, an OLED display panel and a display device. The array substrate comprises a base substrate and a plurality of OLED elements disposed on the base substrate. The array substrate further comprises a non-conductive layer in contact with the OLED elements. Heat-conducting particles are doped in the non-conductive layer. In this way, the heat produced by the OLED elements can be rapidly dispersed to the entire OLED display panel through the heat-conducting particles in the non-conductive layer making contact with the OLED elements, so that the heat produced by the OLED elements can be rapidly conducted to an external surface of the OLED display panel, and hence the damage of the heat on the OLED elements and the display device can be avoided. Therefore, the service life of the OLED elements and the display device can be improved.
