Description

Display of organic electroluminescence
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of organic electroluminescent (organic light emitting diode OLED) display, be particularly related to a kind of active organic electroluminescent (AM-OLED) display, the heat that active component produced can be derived the active organic electroluminescent display device effectively with radiating piece.
Background technology
In the middle of flat-panel screens,, make organic electroluminescent spare will become the optimal selection of flat-panel screens of future generation undoubtedly because organic electroluminescent spare has characteristics such as autoluminescence, high brightness, wide viewing angle, high response speed and manufacture craft be easy.
Organic Light Emitting Diode is for using the light emitting diode of organic layer as active layer (active layer), gradually, be used to flat panel display (flat panel display) in recent years, can divide into passive organic electroluminescent (PM-OLED) and active organic electroluminescent (AM-OLED) display according to type of drive.
The passive organic electroluminescent element is mainly driven merely via the XY matrix electrodes.Because the passive organic electroluminescent element is with linearity type of drive execution in regular turn, when scanning linear (scanning lines) increases to hundreds of when above, desired moment brightness (instantaneous brightness) is hundreds of times that observe brightness, therefore, the immediate current amount of generation is also up to hundreds of times.So big power consumption makes Organic Light Emitting Diode produce a large amount of heat, has improved the operating temperature of Organic Light Emitting Diode simultaneously.Yet the raising of operating temperature easily makes and thus, easily causes the reduction of the luminescence efficiency and the component life of organic electroluminescent device by speeding up of Organic Light Emitting Diode deterioration.
Developing the organic electroluminescent device with high-luminous-efficiency and long life is one of main trend of present plane display technique.Therefore, (thin film transistor, active organic electroluminescent element TFT) is suggested the collocation thin film transistor (TFT), with the problem of avoiding the passive organic electroluminescent element to be produced.Because the active organic electroluminescent display has the luminous feature of face, self luminous high-luminous-efficiency and low driving voltage advantages such as (driving voltage), and have wide viewing angle, high contrast, high response speed (high-response speed), reach characteristic such as full-colorization.Do bigger and bigger when the size of display, the requirement of resolution is more and more higher, and under the situation of full-colorization demand, active organic electroluminescent will become the optimal selection of full-colorization flat-panel screens of future generation undoubtedly.Though above-mentioned active organic electroluminescent element can significantly reduce the magnitude of current by Organic Light Emitting Diode, and then avoid the Organic Light Emitting Diode heat energy a large amount of because of power consumption produces.Yet, the active organic electroluminescent element with thin film transistor (TFT) as on-off element, a large amount of electric currents the flow through amorphous silicon layer or the polysilicon layer of film crystal tube passage (channel).Because the electric current that amorphous silicon layer or polysilicon layer semi-conductor layer, its resistance can cause flowing through produces power consumption and converts a large amount of heat to, make the operating temperature of active organic electroluminescent element increase.When operating temperature rises, for glass transition temperature (T g) point is OLED material about 100 ℃, can find significantly that OLED voltage has sizable difference to the characteristic of brightness, and this characteristic also directly has influence on the serviceable life of OLED, that is to say, higher operating temperature can cause the degradation speed of Organic Light Emitting Diode to be accelerated.
Therefore, dissipate to the external world effectively for making active organic electroluminescent (AM-OLED) heat energy that display produced, United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 265 proposes a kind of heat abstractor of sandwich construction No. 820.In addition, United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 821, No. 692 propositions are a kind of makes the fin type radiator structure on the encapsulation housing, to promote radiating efficiency.Yet, no matter be to dispel the heat with which kind of cap, on the thickness and on the sealing strength certain limitation is being arranged all.For example, United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 265, the heat abstractor of No. 820 disclosed sandwich constructions certainly will increase panel component and take up space and be compressed to the shared space of other element in the system.In addition, United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 821, the fin type radiator structure of being mentioned for No. 692, the weak and institute of its structural strength takes up space big, and the thickness that not only influences panel also makes modular segment processing procedure assembling difficulty simultaneously.
