Description

Organic light emitting diode display and manufacture method thereof
The application requires in the rights and interests of the korean patent application No.10-2008-0093424 of submission on September 23rd, 2008, and it is by reference to being incorporated to herein, just as set forth completely in this article.
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of organic light emitting diode display and manufacture method thereof.
Background technology
Recently, various flat panel display equipments are actively incorporated into display application field widely, to overcome the weight of weight and the shortcoming of large volume of cathode ray tube.With regard to these flat panel display equipments, exist liquid crystal display (LCD) equipment, field emission to show (FED) equipment, plasma display (PDP) equipment, electroluminescence device etc.
Electroluminescence device is divided into inorganic light-emitting diode display and organic light emitting diode display according to the material of luminescent layer.Because adopted self-luminescent material, for example, so electroluminescence device has many advantages: response speed, remarkable luminous efficiency, high brightness and wide visual angle fast.
Active matrix type organic light emitting diode display (AMOLED) shows image by the electric current that utilizes thin-film transistor to control flow to Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED).Organic light emitting diode display is according to comprising that the structure of the OLED of anode, negative electrode and organic layer is divided into emission type and lower emission type.Lower emission type by the radiation of visible light being produced by organic layer to the bottom with the substrate of TFT.At this moment, upper emission type by radiation of visible light to the top with the substrate of TFT.
Fig. 1 illustrates the cross-sectional structure of the pixel in emission type organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display apparatus.Fig. 2 is the plane graph that the switching TFT of Fig. 1 is shown.
With reference to Fig. 1, according to the OLED of correlation technique, comprise data wire and gate line, switching TFT (SWTFT), drive TFT (DRTFT), holding capacitor, coat 18, resilient coating 19, negative electrode 20, accumulation pattern (bank pattern) 21, organic layer 22 and the anode 23 being formed on substrate 10.
Gate metallic pattern is formed on substrate 10, and it comprises gate line, is connected to grid 11a and the 11b of the switching TFT of gate line (SWTFT) and drive TFT (DRTFT).Gate insulator 12 for cover gate metal pattern is formed on the substrate 10 with gate metallic pattern.Active layer 13a and the 13b of switching TFT (SWTFT) and drive TFT (DRTFT) are formed on gate insulator 12 by semiconductor pattern.Comprise that the source electrode 14a of switching TFT (SWTFT) and drive TFT (DRTFT) and the source/drain metal pattern of 14b and drain electrode 15a and 15b are formed on semiconductor pattern and gate insulator 12.Passivation layer 16 is formed on source/drain metal pattern and gate insulator 12.The some parts of the drain electrode 15 of switching TFT (SWTFT) exposes via the contact hole through passivation layer 16.In addition, the some parts of the grid 11b of drive TFT (DRTFT) exposes via the contact hole through passivation layer 16 and gate insulator 12.The contact electrode pattern 17 of being made by transparent conductive material is formed on passivation layer 16.Contact electrode pattern 17 touches the drain electrode of switching TFT (SWTFT) via the contact hole through passivation layer 16, and via the contact hole through passivation layer 16 and gate insulator 12, touch the grid 11b of drive TFT (DRTFT), thereby switching TFT (SWTFT) and drive TFT (DRTFT) are electrically connected to.Comprise that the coat 18 such as the organic insulating material of polyimides or photosensitive acrylate is formed on passivation layer 16 and contact electrode pattern 17.The some parts of the drain electrode 15b of drive TFT (DRTFT) exposes via the drain contact hole (DH) through coat 18.By silicon nitride (SiN x) resilient coating 19 made is formed on coat 18.The negative electrode 20 of being made by aluminium (Al) is formed on the some parts of the drain electrode 15b exposing of resilient coating 19 and drive TFT (DRTFT).Comprise such as silicon nitride (SiN x) the accumulation pattern 21 of inorganic material be formed on the some parts of negative electrode 20 and resilient coating 19 to design the porose area (aperture area, EA) of pixel.The organic layer 22 and the anode 23 that comprise ITO (tin indium oxide) are sequentially formed on accumulation pattern 21 and negative electrode 20.Anode 23 is provided with high voltage.
In OLED as shown in Figure 1, the drain contact hole (DH) that passes the coat 18 of even thickness is formed in porose area (EA).Thus, because the organic layer 22 in the region A of drain contact hole (DH) is because the stairstepping of drain contact hole (DH) is thinner than other regions, so the organic layer 22 in porose area (EA) can have inhomogeneous thickness.Conventionally, the thickness of the organic layer in the brightness of pixel and each unit area is inversely proportional to.Therefore, the brightness of same pixel may change according to position.In other words, the brightness at the A place, region of drain contact hole (DH) is higher than other regions.Like this, if the brightness of some the region A in a pixel is high, the organic layer of region A is degenerated because assembling stress thereon with regard to being easy to.If some area part A of the organic layer in a porose area (EA) degenerate, this part will be considered to an error point of brightness.Because surround these shortcomings of the organic layer of drain contact hole (DH), will make display floater there is poor picture quality and short life-span according to the OLED of correlation technique.
When the TFT in the OLED shown in Fig. 1 is formed with N-shaped semiconductor layer, the semiconductor layer of TFT comprises the n+ ion doped layer on silicon layer and silicon layer.N+ ion doped layer play a part silicon layer and on metal level between ohmic contact.Should use dry-etching method to remove the n+ ion doped layer on channel layer.In design during TFT, if semiconductor layer 13a and gate electrode 11a misalignment and differ based on the amount at the edge of raceway groove " B " as shown in Figure 2, will to have ladder at misalignment part B as shown in Figure 1 poor for semiconductor layer 13a so.In this case, just can not as other planar sections, easily remove the n+ ion doped layer of the semiconductor layer 13a of this end difference office.If the n+ ion doped layer at the raceway groove place of TFT is not suitably removed, just may locate to occur less desirable leakage current at the non-horizontal surface (offlevel) of TFT.
Fig. 3 is the curve chart that the TFT magnitude of leakage current on the non-horizontal surface producing because of the remaining n+ ion doped layer in groove office is shown.As shown in Figure 3, according to many experiments result, the maximum TFT magnitude of leakage current on the non-horizontal surface producing because of the remaining n+ ion doped layer in groove office is about 1 * 10 -9a.This is a very large electric current.Like this, when TFT amount of leakage current is very high, keep the voltage of holding capacitor performance just may reduce.This can cause the defect such as the display quality of flicker, or because the degeneration of black gray characteristic causes that contrast declines.
