Description
技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种柔性显示装置及其制备方法。
背景技术
柔性显示装置是一种基于柔性基底材料形成的显示装置。由于柔性显示装置具有可卷曲、宽视角、便于携带等特点,因此,在便携产品、多数显示应用领域,柔性显示装置具有广阔的应用前景以及良好的市场潜力。
柔性显示技术的出现对柔性背板提出了挑战。柔性显示背板要求所有的功能膜层具有较高的柔性和可靠性。目前,由于材料和工艺的限制,柔性显示器件的柔性背板仍然采用金属和无机的功能膜层来制备。
而在传统的柔性背板结构中,存在较厚的层间绝缘层,起到如下作用:一、屏蔽金属走线间的信号干扰;二、高温氢化工艺中,提供氢原子修补主动层的缺陷。为了保证良好的绝缘特性和补氢效果,一般要求层间绝缘层具有一定的厚度,而显示装置产生弯曲时,较厚的层间绝缘层在弯曲应力下易产生裂纹及裂纹扩展,从而导致薄膜晶体管器件的失效。
发明内容
本发明提供一种柔性显示装置,以解决现有的柔性显示装置中,显示装置产生弯曲时,较厚的层间绝缘层在弯曲应力下易产生裂纹及裂纹扩展,从而导致薄膜晶体管器件失效的技术问题。
为解决上述问题,本发明提供的技术方案如下:
本发明提供一种柔性显示装置,包括:
柔性衬底;
设置于所述柔性衬底表面的有源层;
设置于所述柔性衬底上且覆盖所述有源层的栅极绝缘层;

优选的,所述柔性衬底包括第一柔性基板,以及依次层叠设置在第一柔性基板上的第一阻隔层、第二柔性基板和第二阻隔层。
本发明还提供一种柔性显示装置的制备方法,包括:
S10、在承载基板上形成柔性衬底;
S20、在所述柔性衬底上形成图形化的有源层;
S20、在所述柔性衬底上形成覆盖所述有源层的栅极绝缘层;
S40、在所述栅极绝缘层上形成栅极金属层;
S50、在所述栅极绝缘层上形成覆盖所述栅极金属层的层间绝缘层;
S60、在所述层间绝缘层上形成图案化的第二金属层;
S70、通过蚀刻工艺在所述层间绝缘层上形成沟道;
S80、在第二金属层上形成覆盖第二金属层和层间绝缘层的平坦层;
S90、在所述平坦层上形成发光层和封装层。
优选的,在步骤S50中,形成层间绝缘层时,并形成金属电极过孔。
优选的,所述S60包括:
S61、在所述层间绝缘层上形成第二金属层;
S62、在所述第二金属层上涂布光刻胶层,对光刻胶层进行曝光、显影,以形成图案化的光刻胶层;
S63、对第二金属层进行蚀刻,形成图案化的第二金属层。
优选的,在步骤S70中,通过蚀刻层间绝缘层形成沟道时,利用源漏金属走线作为第一层掩膜板。
优选的,在步骤S63中,第二金属层蚀刻完成后,保留位于源漏金属走线上的光刻胶,利用光刻胶作为蚀刻层间绝缘层的第二层掩膜板。
本发明的有益效果为:
采用图形化的层间绝缘层取代现有的整面性的膜层结构,使沟道成为面板弯曲时形变发生的主要区域,提高显示装置在弯曲应力下的可靠性,同时防止层间绝缘层在弯曲应力下产生裂纹及裂纹扩展导致薄膜晶体管器件的失效。同时利用源漏金属走线作为层间绝缘层和光刻胶的蚀刻掩膜板,无需增加光罩即可得到与源漏金属走线一一对应的绝缘隔道,使沟道可以更好的形成弯曲应力集中区的同时,降低生产成本。

本发明针对现有的柔性显示装置,为了保证良好的绝缘特性和补氢效果,一般要求层间绝缘层具有一定的厚度,而较厚的层间绝缘层在弯曲应力下易产生裂纹及裂纹扩展,从而导致薄膜晶体管器件失效的技术问题,本实施例能够解决该缺陷。
一种柔性显示装置,如图1所示,所述柔性显示装置包括柔性衬底20,所述柔性衬底20上依次层叠设置有有源层30、栅极绝缘层40、栅极金属层50、层间绝缘层60、第二金属层、平坦层80以及发光层90和封装层,其中,所述第二金属层至少用作源漏极讯号走线;其中,所述栅极绝缘层40覆盖所述有源层30,所述层间绝缘层60覆盖所述栅极金属层50,所述平坦层80覆盖所述层间绝缘层60以及所述第二金属层。
其中,所述层间绝缘层60上开设有多条沟道61,所述沟道61两端向所述层间绝缘层60边缘延伸以贯穿层间绝缘层60,位于所述第二金属层下方的层间绝缘层60在竖向上的投影包纳所述第二金属层在竖向上的投影。
通过层间绝缘层60覆盖栅极金属层50,从而隔绝栅极金属走线与源漏金属走线70,起到绝缘作用,避免金属走线间的信号干扰,同时在高温氢化工艺中,通过层间绝缘层60提供氢原子修补主动层101的缺陷;在保证层间绝缘层60良好的绝缘特性和氢化功能的前提下,采用图形化的层间绝缘层60取代现有的整面性的膜层结构,使沟道61成为显示装置弯曲时形变发生的主要区域,而由于沟道61底部的无机膜层厚度较小,因此可承受更大的弯曲应力,提高了显示装置在弯曲应力下的可靠性,同时防止层间绝缘层60在弯曲应力下产生裂纹及裂纹扩展导致薄膜晶体管器件的失效。
需要说明的是,层间绝缘层60可以为单层结构,也可以为多层叠层结构,由SiOx、SiNx、Al2O3等无机材料制成,通过化学气相沉积、物理气相沉积、旋涂法等方法在栅极绝缘层40上制成;可以理解的是,在具体实施中,层间绝缘层60也可由其他材料通过其他方法制成。
具体的,所述沟道61深度不小于所述层间绝缘层60厚度。可以理解的是,沟道61深度越深,则沟道61底部的无机膜层厚度越小,从而可承受更大的弯曲应力,提高显示装置在弯曲应力下的可靠性;应该理解的是,沟道61深度越深,制造时间和成本也会增加,因此在具体实施中,在保证沟道61性能的同时,可根据生产成本选择沟道61的深度。
其中,所述沟道61将层间绝缘层60分割为多条绝缘隔道62,所述绝缘隔道62的纵截面呈正梯形。上述已经提及,层间绝缘层60通过化学气相沉积、物理气相沉积、旋涂法等方法在栅极绝缘层40上制成,将所述绝缘隔道62的纵截面设置成正梯形,提高绝缘隔道62底部与栅极绝缘层40的接触面积,从而使绝缘隔道62与栅极绝缘层40结合的更加牢固紧密,防止显示装置弯曲时绝缘隔道62产生偏移或与栅极绝缘层40脱离。
具体的,所述第二金属层包括多条源漏金属走线70,所述绝缘隔道62与所述源漏金属走线70一一对应。利用绝缘隔道62隔绝栅极金属走线与源漏金属走线70,保证绝缘作用,同时减小绝缘隔道62的数量,增加沟道61的区域面积,从而使弯曲应力更好的集中在沟道61,提高显示装置在弯曲应力下的可靠性。
所述柔性衬底20包括第一柔性基板21,以及依次层叠设置在第一柔性基板21上的第一阻隔层22、第二柔性基板23和第二阻隔层24。通过多层结构复合形成柔性衬底20,提高柔性衬底20的可靠性,防止弯曲过程中柔性衬底20产生裂纹。
需要说明的是,所述第一阻隔层22和第二阻隔层24的材料可以是无机材料如SiOx,SiNx等。可以理解的是,所述第一阻隔层22和第二阻隔层24的材料包括但不限于上述列举。
一种柔性显示装置的制备方法,如图2所示,所述制备方法包括:
步骤S10、在承载基板上形成柔性衬底;
步骤S20、在所述柔性衬底上形成图形化的有源层;
步骤S30、在所述柔性衬底上形成覆盖所述有源层的栅极绝缘层;
步骤S40、在所述栅极绝缘层上形成栅极金属层;
步骤S50、在所述栅极绝缘层上形成覆盖所述栅极金属层的层间绝缘层;
步骤S60、在所述层间绝缘层上形成图案化的第二金属层;
步骤S70、通过蚀刻工艺在所述层间绝缘层上形成沟道;
步骤S80、在第二金属层上形成覆盖第二金属层和层间绝缘层的平坦层;
步骤S90、在所述平坦层上形成发光层和封装层。
需要说明的是,承载基板可以为透明的玻璃,当然,可以理解的是,承载基本也可为其他透明材料。
如图3所示,在承载基板10表面形成第一柔性基板21,在第一柔性基板21上形成第一阻隔层22,在第一阻隔层22表面复合形成第二柔性基板23,在第二柔性基板23上形成第二阻隔层24,从而形成完整的柔性衬底20。
如图4所示,在柔性衬底20表面形成有源层30,通过蚀刻处理形成图形化的有源层30。
如图5所示,在柔性衬底20上形成覆盖所述有源层30的栅极绝缘层40,在所述栅极绝缘层40上形成栅极金属层50。
如图6所示,在所述栅极绝缘层40上形成覆盖所述栅极金属层50的层间绝缘层60,并形成金属电极过孔63。
如图7所示,所述步骤S60包括:
S61、在所述层间绝缘层60上形成第二金属层;
S62、在所述第二金属层上涂布光刻胶层,对光刻胶层进行曝光、显影,以形成图案化的光刻胶层;
S63、对第二金属层进行蚀刻,形成图案化的第二金属层。
如图8所示,在步骤S70中,利用源漏金属走线70作为第一层掩膜板,对层间绝缘层60进行蚀刻处理,形成与源漏金属走线70一一对应的绝缘隔道62。利用源漏金属作为层间绝缘层60的蚀刻掩膜板,源漏金属走线70下的层间绝缘层60将保留,而上方无源漏金属走线70的区域的层间绝缘层60将被蚀刻,不增加光罩即可得到与源漏金属走线70一一对应的绝缘隔道62,降低生产成本。
可以理解的是,较宽的沟道61可以更好的形成弯曲应力集中区,利用源漏金属作为层间绝缘层60的蚀刻掩膜板,从而保证绝缘隔道62的绝缘效果和氢化功能的同时,减小绝缘隔道62的宽度,从而增加沟道61的宽度,从而使沟道61更好的形成弯曲应力集中区。
在所述步骤S63中,蚀刻完成后,保留位于源漏金属走线70上的光刻胶,利用光刻胶作为蚀刻层间绝缘层60的第二层掩膜层。对层间绝缘层60进行蚀刻时,通过第二层掩膜板对源漏金属走线70起到保护隔绝作用,防止蚀刻工艺对源漏金属走线70造成影响或损坏,同时无需增加光刻工艺,减少工序,降低生产成本。
如图9所示,在第二金属层上形成覆盖第二金属层和层间绝缘层60的平坦层80,在所述平坦层80上形成发光层90和封装层后,从而形成显示装置。
本发明的有益效果为:通过在层间绝缘层60上开设沟道61,保证层间绝缘层60的绝缘返回和氢化功能的前提下,采用图形化的层间绝缘层60取代现有的整面性的膜层结构,使沟道61成为面板弯曲时形变发生的主要区域,提高显示装置在弯曲应力下的可靠性,同时防止层间绝缘层60在弯曲应力下产生裂纹及裂纹扩展导致薄膜晶体管器件的失效。同时利用源漏金属走线70作为层间绝缘层60和光刻胶的蚀刻掩膜板,无需增加光罩即可得到与源漏金属走线70一一对应的绝缘隔道62,使沟道61可以更好的形成弯曲应力集中区的同时,降低生产成本。
综上所述,虽然本发明已以优选实施例揭露如上,但上述优选实施例并非用以限制本发明,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为准。
