The manufacture method of organic electroluminescence display panel and structure
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method and structure of making organic electroluminescence display panel, particularly a kind of method and structure of improving organic electroluminescence display panel bright line problem.
Background technology
In recent years, in the industry of flat-panel screens, organic light emitting display (Organic Light EmittingDiode; OLED), and attracted attention gradually because of having self-luminosity, high brightness, super wide viewing angle, high reaction speed, low driving voltage and advantage such as in light weight.But the organic light emitting display occupation rate on market at present is still limited, therefore, each big display is made factory and all is devoted to look for best manufacture method, and to improve production qualification rate and product performance, expectation can impel organic light emitting display early in reaching universalness on the market.
In the existing organic electroluminescence display panel product, be generally and separate adjacent pixels, can use the design of electrode separation bar (electrode separation rib), electrode separation bar and basalis that utilization has insulation characterisitic are formed at not light emitting pixel district, to reach the purpose of distinguishing with pixel region.
As shown in Figure 1, usually on display floater, except main viewing area (main panel) 100, periphery in main viewing area 100, have the viewing area of part specific image 102, zone 104 beyond in specific image 102 viewing areas then is all not light emitting pixel district, simultaneously the circuit by main viewing area be connected state by main viewing area with the circuit of exterior domain.Yet because these are positioned at the existence in not light emitting pixel district of 102 of the specific images of main viewing area 100 peripheries, in the time of will forming drive current by panel, having the part circuit is the difference in the not light emitting pixel district (zone 104) through main viewing area 100 peripheries for process specific image 102 viewing areas and part circuit.
The structural design in above-mentioned specific image 102 viewing areas and light emitting pixel district is not distinguished pixel region 240 and light emitting pixel district 250 not with the basalis 220 of insulation and electrode separation bar 230 then as shown in Figure 2 on substrate 200 and anode metal sull 210.Wherein pixel region 240 is the position of specific image 102 viewing areas among Fig. 1, and light emitting pixel district 250 then is not the position in other zone 104 outside specific image 102 viewing areas.
In light emitting pixel district 250 not, because dielectric base layer 220 is arranged is isolated the anode metal sull 210 of connected state with cathodic metal layer 270, therefore when switching on the driving panel, do not have electric current and pass through this not light emitting pixel district 250, so the luminescent material storehouse 260 in light emitting pixel district 250 not can be not luminous, do not have the characteristic of light-emitting diode.
If observe, as shown in Figure 3, be the partial array structure chart of an organic electroluminescence display panel with a simple panel array structure.Wherein a not light emitting pixel district (as the not light emitting pixel district 250 of Fig. 2) that is arranged in the specific image periphery is promptly represented in zone 360, other zone 310 that drives with circuit 311, the zone 320 that drives with circuit 322, and 330 in the zone that drives with circuit 333 is all pixel region, and light emitting pixel zone 360 is not communicated with by circuit 333 simultaneously with pixel region 330.
As mentioned above, with regard to an organic electroluminescence display panel, the light emitting pixel zone position does not have electric current and passes through, so when with a fixed current 350 driver circuits, have identical electric current simultaneously by circuit 311, circuit 322 and circuit 333.But, and make that the capacitance summation when electric current passes through circuit 333 is little compared to circuit 311 and circuit 322 because there is the existence of dielectric base layer in zone 360.
Since during pixel drive, the circuit 333 less for capacitance, and its voltage rise time is shorter, therefore, generally speaking, when utilizing a current drives with some bright pixel, the higher phenomenon of brightness (brightness) will appear in the pixel region with circuit 333 processes of smaller capacitive value.So in Fig. 3, the luminous display brightness of the pixel region 330 that data circuit 333 passes through will be than pixel region 310 and pixel region 320 height.
Therefore, by above-mentioned phenomenon as can be known, when with a current drives one organic electroluminescence display panel, when just being the not light emitting pixel district that passes through between the specific image of panel periphery as if a communication line, then this circuit will have the capacitance little than other circuit.So concerning the main viewing area of an organic electroluminescence display panel, the viewing area that every link tester with smaller capacitive value is crossed all has the higher phenomenon of brightness and occurs, thereby has caused the panel finished product that the defective of bright line is arranged.
So, a kind ofly do not influence original basic processing procedure and type of drive, and can improve the organic electroluminescence display panel manufacture method and the structure of above-mentioned panel bright line problem, just have suitable exigence.

Embodiment
The present invention is a kind of setting that improves because of the not light emitting pixel district of specific image periphery on the panel, and causes the manufacture method and the structure of the organic electroluminescence display panel of panel bright line problem.By reducing the position area that basalis occupied, reducing the area that transparency electrode is capped, and make the part negative electrode electric conducting material in the light emitting pixel district not can be fully by not isolated, and can electric current by the time partition capacitance value is provided.
So, the circuit in the not light emitting pixel district by the specific image periphery is originally had lower capacitance improved, and the otherness of the capacitance that each circuit is had each other on the panel is reduced.So the Luminance Distribution of panel is more even, the bright line problem is improved.
Below will method of the present invention be described in detail with a preferred embodiment.
With reference to Fig. 4 A~4B, Fig. 4 A~4B is the cross sectional representation of organic electroluminescence display panel manufacturing process of the present invention.
With reference to Fig. 4 A, at first on substrate 400, make anode metal sull 410 as transparency electrode, and with gold-tinted development setting figure, wherein substrate 400 is constituted by transparent material, for example be glass, plastics, anode metal sull 410 then uses transparent conductive material, for example indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium-zinc oxide (IZO).Then be coated with last layer basalis 420, material is selected for use and is that insulating material, this insulating material for example can be positive photoresistance or negative photoresist, or is phenolic resins (Novolak), polyimides (Polyimide; PI), epoxy resin (epoxy) or acrylic resin (Acrylic resin) etc., and develop with gold-tinted and to set figure.
The figure of basalis 420 is set, except setting out not light emitting pixel district 430, the manufacture method of organic electroluminescence display panel of the present invention will be not yet basalis 420 figures in the light emitting pixel district 430, be designed to have an opening 440, and expose anode metal sull 410, shown in Fig. 4 A.
Then, coating one deck insulating material is as electrode separation bar 450, this insulating material equally for example can be positive photoresistance or negative photoresist, or is phenolic resins, polyimides, epoxy resin or acrylic resin etc., and forms a up big and down small special construction figure with the gold-tinted development.
Then,, make the luminescent material storehouse 460 and cathodic metal layer 470 that the multilayer luminous organic material is constituted successively, lay respectively on anode metal sull 410, the electrode separation bar 450 in the evaporation mode with reference to Fig. 4 B, and among the opening 440.The organic light emission material that wherein includes fluorescence or phosphorescence in the luminescent material storehouse 460, and organic or inorganic materials such as hole/electronics injection and hole/electric transmission.Cathodic metal then uses the good metal of conductivity, for example: aluminium (Al), silver-colored magnesium alloy (AgMg) or lithium-aluminium alloy (LiAl) etc.
Because the design of the structure graph of basalis 420, the original position area that the basalis 420 of existing making is occupied reduces.Utilize the figure of opening 440 to set, basalis 420 occupies whole not light emitting pixel district 430 originally, is reduced to and only occupies zone 480.
And in opening 440 positions, then because have luminescent material storehouse 460 and cathodic metal layer 470 on anode metal sull 410, to be electrical connected.So when the current drives assembly, electric current is during by light emitting pixel district 430 not, also can be by the design of opening 440, and by the part of the opening 440 in light emitting pixel district 430 not.Therefore, the light emitting pixel district can partly not have the characteristic of light-emitting diode, and can provide the partition capacitance value by the circuit on it to one.In addition, though fully electrically isolated originally not light emitting pixel district 430, the situation that has part electrically communicate according to the inventive method occurs, but the drive controlling by sweep circuit (scan line), still can keep the state that opening 440 positions in light emitting pixel district 430 not present not luminous demonstration.
With reference to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is the partial array structure chart that utilizes the organic electroluminescence display panel that the present invention makes.Wherein zone 530 is a not light emitting pixel district that has basalis to exist, and other zone then is a pixel region.When driving the assembly that the present invention make with an electric current 540, though in 530 positions, light emitting pixel zone not the existence of basalis is arranged, because of the isolated electrical zone of exposed portions serve among the present invention, so also can provide the partition capacitance value to the circuit that passes through.And make a capacitance that is had by the circuit 533 in light emitting pixel zone 530 not, compared to other capacitance of being had of the circuit 522 by light emitting pixel zone 530 not and circuit 511 not, otherness reduces each other.
So, can allow the capacitance size that each circuit has on the display floater more average, then the situation of electric current by each circuit homogeneous more.Therefore, can not cause the luminous degree varies of the pixel region that each link tester is crossed and cause the panel luminance inequality, cause the problem of bright line.
Though the present invention discloses as above with embodiment; right its is not in order to qualification the present invention, any those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can doing various changes and modification, so protection scope of the present invention defines and is as the criterion when looking claim.
