Description

Silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The silicon-based organic electroluminescent device is an optoelectronic device which is prepared by further preparing organic electroluminescent materials on a monocrystalline silicon substrate prepared with a semiconductor CMOS circuit and can form a silicon-based organic light-emitting micro-display after being packaged. The silicon-based organic electroluminescent display has the characteristics of brightness, rich colors, low driving voltage, high response speed, low power consumption and the like, and can provide higher definition resolution under the display area smaller than 1 inch, so the silicon-based organic electroluminescent display is very rapid in development and can be applied to the fields of military affairs, medicine, industry, aerospace, entertainment consumer electronics and the like, in particular to novel applications such as wearable equipment, virtual display, augmented reality and the like.
At present, the common process route of the silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display is to prepare a CMOS bottom layer circuit in a wafer factory and then prepare subsequent processes such as evaporation packaging, CF, cutting, bonding and the like in a panel display factory. The anode is prepared in a wafer factory while the bottom layer circuit is prepared, or the anode can also be prepared in a panel factory, so that the anode of the silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display is usually prepared by metal or metal nitride such as aluminum or aluminum nitride. In the sub-pixel, the anode made of Al or TiN has a low work function, resulting in a decrease in hole injection capability. To solve this problem, the anode injection capability is currently enhanced by p-doped organic materials such as NPD-9 in the fabrication of silicon-based subpixels. Meanwhile, because the Open mask is used for evaporating a layer of the p-doped organic material in the existing preparation method of the silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display, and the NPD-9 material has extremely strong conductivity and small sub-pixel spacing (generally about 1 um), the transverse electric leakage among the sub-pixels is easily caused, so that the color crosstalk among the adjacent sub-pixels can be caused, and the color gamut is reduced.

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 1, the silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display includes a silicon-based circuit substrate 10, where the silicon-based circuit substrate 10 includes a silicon-based substrate 12 and a driving circuit 14 located on the silicon-based substrate 12; the sub-pixel 100 is arranged on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10, the sub-pixel 100 comprises a first electrode 11, a buffer pattern 21, an organic light-emitting layer 30 and a second electrode 40 which are sequentially stacked, and the first electrode 11 is electrically connected with a driving circuit 14. The buffer pattern 21 is formed by patterning a buffer layer, and the buffer layer is prepared using an aqueous solution of a buffer material.
The silicon-based circuit substrate 10 is a silicon-based substrate on which CMOS bottom layer circuits are formed on a wafer, and the CMOS bottom layer circuits on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10 are used for driving and controlling sub-pixels formed thereon, respectively. The first electrode 11 disposed on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10 is an anode or a cathode in the sub-pixel, and here is an optimized sub-pixel device structure, and the first electrode is an anode. Each first electrode 11 on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10 is correspondingly prepared to form a sub-pixel, and the sub-pixel is substantially an OLED device. Therefore, in order to secure insulation of adjacent sub-pixels, the plurality of first electrodes 11 are insulated from each other. Specifically, the first electrode 11 may be disposed in an array arrangement or the like according to the arrangement requirement of the sub-pixels, and is not limited herein.
It can be understood that the first electrode 11 is usually made of metal or metal nitride in the conventional manufacturing process, and the work function thereof is generally low, which is not favorable for hole injection of the sub-pixel, resulting in low carrier recombination efficiency and light emitting efficiency of the sub-pixel. In the embodiment of the invention, the buffer pattern 21 is added on the first electrode 11 of the sub-pixel 100, and the sub-pixel 100 is substantially in a buffer layer structure, so that the buffer pattern 21 can reduce potential barrier, improve hole injection efficiency, and improve carrier recombination efficiency and light emitting efficiency of the sub-pixel. On the silicon-based circuit substrate 10, one sub-pixel 100 is formed corresponding to each first electrode 11. By driving the driving circuit 14 on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10, the on/off of each sub-pixel 100 can be controlled, so that the on/off and the brightness of the silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display can be controlled, and functions such as illumination, display and the like can be performed.
In the buffer pattern in the sub-pixel 100, a buffer layer is formed by preparing an aqueous solution of a buffer material, and the buffer layer is patterned to form the buffer pattern 21. The aqueous solution of the buffer material is prepared by dissolving the buffer material in water, and removing the aqueous solvent by a coating method such as spin coating or spray coating to form the buffer layer, wherein the buffer material can be uniformly dissolved by stirring, oscillating or the like. The buffer layer is a relatively flat film layer composed of buffer materials, and the film thickness of the buffer layer can be adjusted according to the concentration of an aqueous solution, the liquid amount of spin coating or spray coating and the process parameters during spin coating or spray coating. The patterning process of the buffer layer is substantially a process of dividing the buffer layer into a plurality of mutually independent and insulated patterns, and the dividing process is not realized by a physical method such as cutting, but is generally realized by a chemical method such as dissolving, etching and the like. Compared with the conventional method of preparing a whole buffer layer by using an organic buffer material and a deposition process such as thermal evaporation, the silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display provided by the embodiment of the invention is prepared by coating with an aqueous solution and then patterning to form a buffer pattern, so that the problem that the conventional buffer layer made of open mask is conductive to each other and the adjacent sub-pixels are easy to leak electricity laterally can be avoided.
The silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display provided by the embodiment of the invention is provided with a silicon-based circuit substrate, the silicon-based circuit substrate comprises a silicon-based substrate and a driving circuit positioned on the silicon-based substrate, and is also provided with a plurality of sub-pixels, the sub-pixels are arranged on the silicon-based circuit substrate and comprise a first electrode, a buffer pattern, an organic light-emitting layer and a second electrode which are sequentially arranged in a laminated manner, and the first electrode is electrically connected with the driving circuit; the buffer pattern is formed by patterning the buffer layer, the buffer layer is prepared by using an aqueous solution of a buffer material, the surface work function of the first electrode is improved, the potential barrier between the first electrode and the organic layer is reduced, and the performance of the silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display is ensured. The embodiment of the invention can solve the problem that transverse electric leakage is easy to occur among sub-pixels of the conventional silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display, can avoid color crosstalk among the sub-pixels, and can improve the hole injection capability of the sub-pixels, improve the recombination efficiency of carriers and improve the luminous efficiency of the sub-pixels.
Further, the silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display further comprises an encapsulation layer 50, a color filter layer 60 and cover glass 70 which are sequentially stacked, wherein the color filter layer 60 comprises a plurality of color filter dots 61; the packaging layer 50 is positioned on one side of the plurality of sub-pixels 100, which is far away from the silicon-based circuit substrate 10, and covers the plurality of sub-pixels 100; the color filter layer 60 is located on a side of the encapsulation layer 50 away from the sub-pixels 100, and the color filter dots 61 correspond to the sub-pixels 100 one by one; a cover glass 70 is located on the side of the color filter layer 60 facing away from the encapsulation layer 50.
The encapsulation layer 50 is made of pure inorganic material, such as a laminated structure of SiO/SiN/Al2O3, or may also be inorganic/organic/inorganic, and the specific material is not limited. The encapsulation layer 50 is used to seal and protect each sub-pixel 100, so that the sub-pixel is protected from erosion of air and water vapor, thereby ensuring that the organic material in the sub-pixel 100 is not deteriorated and ensuring high-efficiency light-emitting efficiency. The color filter layer 60 is a color filter dot added to each sub-pixel 100, and the color of the light emitted from the sub-pixel 100 can be converted by the color filter dot. As shown in the figure, three color filtering points of red, green and blue may be respectively disposed on three adjacent sub-pixels 100, so that one pixel unit is formed by the sub-pixels 100 of the three colors of red, green and blue, so as to perform color matching, and present a full-color display.

In the silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display shown in fig. 2, since the first electrode 11 is not disposed on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10, in order to electrically connect the sub-pixel 100 with the driving circuit 14, a plurality of guiding electrodes 13 need to be disposed on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10, and the driving circuit 14 is connected with the first electrode 11 of the sub-pixel 100 through the guiding electrodes 13, so as to control the light emission of the sub-pixel 100.

Referring to a) of fig. 4, a silicon-based circuit substrate 10 is a silicon-based substrate after CMOS bottom layer circuits are formed on a wafer, and the CMOS bottom layer circuits on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10 are used for driving and controlling sub-pixels formed thereon respectively. The first electrode 11 disposed on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10 is an anode or a cathode in the sub-pixel, and here is an optimized sub-pixel device structure, and the first electrode is an anode. Each of the first electrodes 11 on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10 may be prepared to form a sub-pixel, and thus, in order to ensure the insulation of the adjacent sub-pixels, the plurality of first electrodes 11 are insulated from each other. Specifically, the first electrode 11 may be disposed in an array arrangement or the like according to the arrangement requirement of the sub-pixels, and is not limited herein.
It can be understood that the first electrode 11 is usually made of metal or metal nitride in the conventional manufacturing process, and the work function thereof is generally low, which is not favorable for hole injection of the sub-pixel, resulting in low carrier recombination efficiency and light emitting efficiency of the sub-pixel. The buffer layer 20 is added on the first electrode 11 of the sub-pixel, so that the buffer layer 20 can be used for reducing potential barrier, improving hole injection efficiency and improving carrier recombination efficiency and luminous efficiency of the sub-pixel. The aqueous solution of the buffer material is formed by dissolving the buffer material in water, and removing the aqueous solvent by a coating method such as spin coating or spray coating, wherein the buffer material can be uniformly dissolved by stirring or oscillation. The buffer layer 20 is a relatively flat film layer made of a buffer material, and the film thickness thereof can be adjusted according to the concentration of an aqueous solution, the amount of liquid for spin coating or spray coating, and the process parameters during spin coating or spray coating.

Referring to fig. 4 b), the buffer layer 20 formed in step S110 is a whole-film structure, and referring to fig. 4 b), the buffer layer 20 is substantially divided to form a buffer pattern 21 for each sub-pixel. The patterning process of the buffer layer is substantially a process of dividing the buffer layer into a plurality of mutually independent and insulated patterns, and the dividing process is not realized by a physical method such as cutting, but is generally realized by a chemical method such as dissolving, etching and the like. Each of the buffer patterns 21 is arranged in line with the first electrode 11, insulated from each other, and in a stacked relationship.
It should be noted that, through steps S110 and S120, the buffer layer is prepared by using the aqueous solution of the buffer material, and the buffer layer 20 is divided, compared with the conventional process of preparing an organic buffer material by a deposition process such as thermal evaporation, the process for preparing a silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display provided in this embodiment can avoid the problem that the buffer layers made by the open mask are conductive to each other and the adjacent sub-pixels are prone to generate lateral leakage.
And S130, sequentially forming an organic light-emitting layer and a second electrode on one side of each buffer pattern, which is far away from the first electrode, so as to form a plurality of sub-pixels.

Here, the material of the organic light emitting layer 30 and the material of the second electrode 40 are not limited herein. In step S130, a sub-pixel 100 is formed on the silicon-based circuit substrate 10 corresponding to each first electrode 11. By driving the silicon-based circuit substrate 10, the on-off and brightness of the silicon-based organic electroluminescent micro-display can be controlled, so that functions such as illumination, display and the like can be performed.
