Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, having a display area; the display panel comprises an array substrate 10 and a box-aligning substrate 20 which are mutually matched, and frame sealing glue 30 arranged between the array substrate 10 and the box-aligning substrate 20; the array substrate 10 includes a planarization layer; along the direction in which the array substrate 10 points to the opposite-box substrate 20, the planarization layer includes a first inorganic insulating layer 121, an organic insulating layer 122, and a second inorganic insulating layer 123, which are sequentially stacked, and the array substrate 10 further includes a cross-linked pattern 14 disposed between the organic insulating layer 122 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123; the cross-linking pattern 14 is located on a side of the frame sealing adhesive 30 away from the display region.
In some embodiments, the array substrate 10 further includes a substrate 11 and a thin film transistor 13 disposed between the substrate 11 and the planarization layer.
Since the thin film transistor 13 has a certain pattern, the surface of the array substrate 10 is uneven, and therefore, a flat layer can be disposed on the side of the thin film transistor 13 away from the substrate 11.
The thin film transistor 13 may be at least one of a bottom gate type thin film transistor, a top gate type thin film transistor, or a double gate type thin film transistor.
In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a color filter layer, a black matrix, and an alignment layer 41. The color filter layer and the black matrix may be provided on the array substrate 10 or may be provided on the opposing substrate 20. The alignment layer 41 is provided on both the array substrate 10 and the opposing cassette substrate 20.
In some embodiments, compared to an inorganic insulating material, the organic insulating material can reduce the parasitic capacitance of the display panel, thereby facilitating the circuit board to drive the display panel to display.
It is considered that moisture and oxygen easily enter the display area through the organic insulating layer 122, which affects the overall display effect of the display panel. Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the first inorganic insulating layer 121 is disposed on the organic insulating layer 122 close to the substrate 11, and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 is disposed on the organic insulating layer 122 away from the substrate 11.
In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a non-display region located at a periphery of the display region. The frame sealing glue 30 and the cross-linked pattern 14 are both located in the non-display region.
The first inorganic insulating layer 121, the organic insulating layer 122, and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 in the planarization layer are located in both the display region and the non-display region.
In some embodiments, the material of the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 may be, for example, silicon nitride (SiN)x) Or silicon oxide (SiO)y) Etc. transparent inorganic insulating materials. The material of the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the material of the second inorganic insulating layer 123 may be the same or different.
The material of the organic insulating layer 122 may be, for example, a transparent organic insulating material such as resin.
In some embodiments, the crosslinked pattern 14 may be obtained by processing the organic insulating layer 122.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the organic insulating layer 122 may be plasma-treated using one of helium (He) or argon (Ar) to obtain the crosslinked layer 141. The crosslinking layer 141 covers the side of the organic insulating layer 122 and the surface facing away from the substrate 11.
Then, a protective layer 15 is formed on the side of the crosslinked layer 141 opposite to the substrate 11, and nitrogen (N) gas is used with the protective layer 15 as a mask2) Oxygen (O)2) Hydrogen (H)2) The cross-linked layer 141 is subjected to plasma treatment to form the cross-linked pattern 14.
Here, the orthogonal projection of the crosslinked pattern 14 on the substrate 11, which is obtained using the protective layer 15 as a mask, completely overlaps the orthogonal projection of the crosslinked pattern 14 on the substrate 11.
In some embodiments, after forming the cross-linked pattern 14, the protective layer 15 may be removed, and the protective layer 15 may also remain.
Alternatively, the protective layer 15 may be left to reduce the process of peeling off the protective layer 15, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the array substrate 10.
In some embodiments, the material of the protective layer 15 is not limited as long as the pattern of the protective layer 15 is not affected during the formation of the cross-linked pattern 14 from the cross-linked layer 141.
In the related art, since the surface of the organic insulating layer 122 is rough, when the display panel is evaluated to have high reliability under high temperature and high humidity, the high temperature may force the organic insulating layer 122 to release gas into the interface between the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123, which may cause the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 to float (fig. 4), thereby causing display failure of the display panel.
On the other hand, if the smooth and dense crosslinked layer 141 is formed, the gas released from the organic insulating layer 122 cannot enter the interface between the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 during the evaluation of the reliability under high temperature, high humidity and high pressure. However, the smooth cross-linked layer 141 may affect the fixed connection between the organic insulating layer 122 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123, and moisture and oxygen easily enter the display area of the display panel from the interface between the organic insulating layer 122 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 to form liquid crystal bubbles (LC bubbles) 51 as shown in fig. 5, which may affect the display effect of the display panel.
Accordingly, the embodiment of the invention provides a display panel, which includes a cross-linked pattern 14 disposed between an organic insulating layer 122 and a second inorganic insulating layer 123, and the cross-linked pattern 14 is only located on a side of the frame sealing adhesive 30 departing from the display area. As described above, in the high-temperature, high-humidity and high-reliability evaluation, on the other hand, the gas released from the organic insulating layer 122 does not penetrate through the cross-linked pattern 14 and enter the interface between the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123, and the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 float, thereby causing display failure of the display panel; on the other hand, although the cross-linked pattern 14 is disposed on the side of the frame sealing adhesive 30 away from the display area, which results in the connection between the cross-linked pattern 14 and the protective layer 15 being insecure, after water vapor and oxygen enter the interface, they are blocked by the frame sealing adhesive 30 and cannot further enter the display area, and therefore, LC bubbles are not formed in the display area, which affects the display effect of the display panel.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, edges of the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 exceed edges of the organic insulating layer 122; the crosslinked pattern 14 and the protective layer 15 cover the side of the organic insulating layer 122 and the surface facing away from the substrate 11.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the edges of the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 exceed the edge of the organic insulating layer 122, so that water vapor and oxygen can be prevented from entering the organic insulating layer 122 from the side surface of the organic insulating layer 122, and further entering the display panel. Meanwhile, the crosslinked pattern 14 covers the side surface of the organic insulating layer 122 and the surface facing away from the substrate 11, and thus, gas generated in the organic insulating layer 122 can be effectively prevented from being released to the outside of the display panel from the side surface of the organic insulating layer 122 and the surface facing away from the substrate 11.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 2, the organic insulating layer 122 includes a trench, and an orthogonal projection of the trench on the substrate 11 overlaps an orthogonal projection of the sealant 30 on the substrate 11.
In some embodiments, the depth of the trench may be less than or equal to the thickness of the organic insulating layer 122.
When the depth of the trench is equal to the thickness of the organic insulating layer 122, the trench penetrates through the organic insulating layer 122.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the grooves are disposed in the organic insulating layer 122, and the orthographic projection of the grooves on the substrate 11 is overlapped with the orthographic projection of the frame sealing adhesive 30 on the substrate 11, so that the organic insulating layer 122 is more firmly disposed between the array substrate 10 and the box aligning substrate 20, thereby improving the water blocking performance of the frame sealing adhesive 30.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 6, the array substrate 10 further includes a first electrode 16 disposed between the organic insulating layer 122 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123; the first electrode 16 is at least located in the display region, and the first electrode 16 and the protective layer 15 are made of the same material in the same layer.
On this basis, the array substrate 10 further includes a second electrode 17 disposed on a side of the second inorganic insulating layer 123 away from the substrate 11; the display panel further includes a liquid crystal layer 60 disposed between the array substrate 10 and the opposite-to-cell substrate 20; the second electrode 17 and the liquid crystal layer 60 are located at least in the display region; the first electrode 16 and the second electrode 17 are used for driving the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 60 to deflect.
In some embodiments, the first electrode 16 is a pixel electrode, and the second electrode 17 is a common electrode; alternatively, the first electrode 16 is a common electrode, and the second electrode 17 is a pixel electrode.
Here, the first electrode 16 is taken as an example of a pixel electrode, and the pixel electrode is electrically connected to the drain of the thin film transistor 13. A via hole may be formed in the organic insulating layer 122, so that the pixel electrode is electrically connected to the drain electrode of the thin film transistor 13, and the pixel electrode and other signal lines are prevented from being arranged in the same layer and being affected by each other; meanwhile, the width of the black matrix can be reduced, and the aperture opening ratio of the display panel is improved.
In some embodiments, the first electrode 16 and the protection layer 15 are made of the same material in the same layer, that is, the first electrode 16 and the protection layer 15 are formed through the same patterning process, so that the manufacturing process of the array substrate 10 can be simplified.
Here, the material of the first electrode 16 and the protective layer 15 may be a transparent conductive material such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO).
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a display device, including the display panel according to any one of the foregoing embodiments.
In some embodiments, the use of the display device is not limited, and the display device may be used, for example, as a computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a watch, and the like.
In some embodiments, the display device may further include a backlight module disposed on a side of the array substrate 10 facing away from the opposite-box substrate 20 for providing a light source for the display panel.
Here, the backlight module may be a side-in type backlight module or a direct type backlight module.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a display device having the same technical effects as those of the display panel, and are not described herein again.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a preparation method of the display panel, the display panel is provided with a display area, and the preparation method of the display panel comprises the following steps: the array substrate 10 and the opposing substrate 20 are formed separately, and the array substrate 10 and the opposing substrate 20 are aligned by the sealant 30.
As shown in fig. 7, the formation of the array substrate 10 can be achieved by the following steps:
s11, the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the organic insulating layer 122 are sequentially formed on the substrate 11.
In some embodiments, before forming the first inorganic insulating layer 121, the method for preparing the array substrate 10 further includes: the thin film transistor 13 is formed.
The thin film transistor 13 may be at least one of a bottom gate type thin film transistor, a top gate type thin film transistor, or a double gate type thin film transistor.
In some embodiments, the organic insulating layer 122 may be formed using a photolithography process.
If the material of the organic insulating layer 122 includes a photosensitive material, coating, exposing, and developing processes may be performed to obtain the organic insulating layer 122.
If the material of the organic insulating layer 122 does not include a photosensitive material, an organic insulating film and a photoresist may be sequentially formed on the substrate 11, the photoresist is exposed and developed to form a photoresist pattern, the organic insulating film is etched to form the organic insulating layer 122, and finally the photoresist pattern is removed.
S12, forming a cross-linked pattern 14 and a protective layer 15 on the side, away from the substrate 11, of the organic insulating layer 122, wherein the protective layer 15 is positioned on the side, away from the substrate 11, of the cross-linked pattern 14; the cross-linked pattern 14 and the protective layer 15 are located on the side of the frame sealing adhesive 30 away from the display area, and orthographic projections of the cross-linked pattern 14 and the protective layer 15 on the substrate 11 are completely overlapped.
Here, as shown in fig. 4, the organic insulating layer 122 may be subjected to plasma treatment to form a crosslinked layer 141; thereafter, as shown in fig. 8, the protective layer 15 is formed on the side of the crosslinked layer 141 facing away from the substrate 11; the crosslinked layer 141 is subjected to plasma treatment using the protective layer 15 as a mask, thereby forming a crosslinked pattern 14 as shown in fig. 2.
Here, the organic insulating layer 122 may be subjected to plasma treatment using, for example, one of He or Ar to obtain the crosslinked layer 141.
For example, N can be used2、O2、H2Is performed plasma to the cross-linked layer 141And bulk processed to form a crosslinked pattern 14.
In some embodiments, after forming the cross-linked pattern 14, the protective layer 15 may be removed, and the protective layer 15 may also remain.
Alternatively, the protective layer 15 may be left to reduce the process of peeling off the protective layer 15, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the array substrate 10.
In some embodiments, the material of the protective layer 15 is not limited as long as the pattern of the protective layer 15 is not affected during the formation of the cross-linked pattern 14 from the cross-linked layer 141.
S13, forming a second inorganic insulating layer 123 on the side of the organic insulating layer 122 away from the substrate 11, wherein the first inorganic insulating layer 121, the organic insulating layer 122, and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 form a flat layer.
In the related art, since the surface of the organic insulating layer 122 is rough, when the display panel is evaluated to have high reliability under high temperature and high humidity, the high temperature may force the organic insulating layer 122 to release gas into the interface between the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123, which may cause the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 to float (fig. 4), thereby causing display failure of the display panel.
On the other hand, if the smooth and dense crosslinked layer 141 is formed, the gas released from the organic insulating layer 122 cannot enter the interface between the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 during the evaluation of the reliability under high temperature, high humidity and high pressure. However, the smooth cross-linked layer 141 may affect the fixed connection between the organic insulating layer 122 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123, and moisture and oxygen easily enter the display area of the display panel from the interface between the organic insulating layer 122 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 to form liquid crystal bubbles (LC bubbles) 51 as shown in fig. 5, which may affect the display effect of the display panel.
Accordingly, the embodiment of the invention provides a method for manufacturing a display panel, which includes an array substrate 10 and a box-aligning substrate 20. The array substrate includes a cross-linked pattern 14 disposed between the organic insulating layer 122 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123, and the cross-linked pattern 14 is only located on a side of the frame sealing adhesive 30 away from the display region. As described above, in the high-temperature, high-humidity and high-reliability evaluation, on the other hand, the gas released from the organic insulating layer 122 does not penetrate through the cross-linked pattern 14 and enter the interface between the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123, and the first inorganic insulating layer 121 and the second inorganic insulating layer 123 float, thereby causing display failure of the display panel; on the other hand, although the cross-linked pattern 14 is disposed on the side of the frame sealing adhesive 30 away from the display area, which results in the connection between the cross-linked pattern 14 and the protective layer 15 being insecure, after water vapor and oxygen enter the interface, they are blocked by the frame sealing adhesive 30 and cannot further enter the display area, and therefore, LC bubbles are not formed in the display area, which affects the display effect of the display panel.
Alternatively, the surface of the organic insulating layer 122 facing away from the substrate 11 is subjected to plasma treatment for the same time and power as those for the plasma treatment of the crosslinked layer 141.
Here, the surface of the organic insulating layer 122 facing away from the substrate 11 is plasma-treated, and the cross-linked layer 141 is plasma-treated for a time ranging from 10 to 30 seconds and at a power ranging from 8 to 24 kw.
In the embodiment of the invention, on one hand, it is avoided that the part of the cross-linked layer 141 except the cross-linked pattern 14 is not completely removed due to the fact that the time and/or power for performing the plasma treatment on the cross-linked layer 141 is too small; on the other hand, it is also possible to prevent the organic insulating layer 122 located under the crosslinked layer 141 from being affected by an excessive plasma treatment time and/or power applied to the crosslinked layer 141.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 6, the array substrate 10 further includes a first electrode 16 located in the display region; the protective layer 15 and the first electrode 16 are formed by the same patterning process.
Here, the material of the first electrode 16 and the protective layer 15 may be, for example, a transparent conductive material such as ITO.
On this basis, the array substrate 10 further includes a second electrode 17 disposed on a side of the second inorganic insulating layer 123 away from the substrate 11; the display panel further includes a liquid crystal layer 60 disposed between the array substrate 10 and the opposite-to-cell substrate 20; the second electrode 17 and the liquid crystal layer 60 are located at least in the display region; the first electrode 16 and the second electrode 17 are used for driving the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 60 to deflect.
In some embodiments, the first electrode 16 is a pixel electrode, and the second electrode 17 is a common electrode; alternatively, the first electrode 16 is a common electrode, and the second electrode 17 is a pixel electrode.
Here, the first electrode 16 is taken as an example of a pixel electrode, and the pixel electrode is electrically connected to a drain electrode of the thin film transistor. A via hole may be formed in the organic insulating layer 122, so that the pixel electrode is electrically connected to the drain electrode of the thin film transistor, and the pixel electrode and other signal lines are prevented from being arranged in the same layer and being affected by each other; meanwhile, the width of the black matrix can be reduced, and the aperture opening ratio of the display panel is improved.
In the embodiment of the invention, the protective layer 15 and the first electrode 16 are obtained through the same patterning process, so that the preparation process of the array substrate 10 can be simplified.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present invention, and all the changes or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the appended claims.
