The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all 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 application.
The embodiment of the application provides a pixel definition layer opening design method, which comprises the steps of determining the opening size of a metal mask plate based on the preset opening size of a pixel definition layer, further determining the opening allowance of the pixel definition layer, determining the target opening size of the pixel definition layer according to the opening allowance of the pixel definition layer, and further determining an opening design scheme of the pixel definition layer; the pixel definition layer opening design method increases and reduces the target opening size of the pixel definition layer in an unequal proportion according to the opening allowance, so that the opening size and the opening gap of the pixel definition layer can well balance the service life requirement of the light emitting layer and the manufacturing yield requirement of the light emitting layer, the manufacturing yield of the light emitting layer is promoted to be improved, and the service life of the light emitting layer is well maintained.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for designing an opening of a pixel definition layer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The pixel definition layer opening design method is applied to designing the opening size of the pixel definition layer before opening operation is carried out on the pixel definition layer. It should be understood that the openings of the pixel defining layer are for receiving the light emitting layer material to form a plurality of pixel cells; the light-emitting layer material emits light in the pixel defining layer opening, thereby realizing the display function of the display panel. The pixel definition layer opening design method comprises the following steps:
step S101, determining the size of the opening of the metal mask plate based on the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer.
The preset opening size of the pixel definition layer is a preset opening design scheme of the pixel definition layer based on the service life requirement of a customer on the light emitting layer and the requirement of a light emitting layer manufacturing process, and comprises the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer and the preset opening gap size. Specifically, the step of determining the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer comprises: determining a minimum aperture size of the pixel defining layer based on customer requirements for a lifetime of the light emitting layer; determining the minimum opening gap size of the pixel definition layer based on the manufacturing process of the light emitting layer; determining a preset opening size of the pixel definition layer based on the minimum opening size of the pixel definition layer and the minimum opening gap size of the pixel definition layer.
It should be noted that, the larger the opening size of the pixel definition layer is, the more the light emitting layer materials are arranged in the opening of the pixel definition layer, the longer the service life of the light emitting layer is, and therefore, after the requirement of a customer on the service life of the light emitting layer is obtained, the required minimum opening size of the pixel definition layer can be calculated; the larger the opening gap of the pixel definition layer is, the smaller the probability of color mixing of adjacent pixel units is when the light emitting layer is manufactured, and therefore, the required minimum opening gap of the pixel definition layer can be calculated based on the accuracy which can be achieved by the current light emitting layer manufacturing process. The preset opening size of the pixel definition layer is obtained on the basis of balancing the minimum opening size and the minimum opening gap of the pixel definition layer.
In one embodiment, the predetermined opening size of the pixel defining layer includes a first predetermined size along a first direction and a second predetermined size along a second direction. The step of determining the size of the opening of the metal mask plate based on the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer comprises the following steps: enlarging the first preset size according to a first proportion to obtain a first opening size of the metal mask plate; enlarging the second preset size according to a second proportion to obtain a second opening size of the metal mask plate; and determining the opening size of the metal mask plate based on the first opening size and the second opening size.
Further, the first preset size is equal to the second preset size, and the first proportion is equal to the second proportion, so that the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer has the same size in the first direction and the second direction, and after the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer is enlarged in the first direction and the second direction in an equal proportion, the formed opening size of the metal mask plate also has the characteristic that the first direction size and the second direction size are equal, that is, the first opening size of the metal mask plate is equal to the second opening size. It should be noted that, the more regular the shape of the opening of the metal mask is, the better the mechanical stability is, and the less wrinkles are likely to appear in the processing and using processes; therefore, this embodiment will the first trompil size and the second trompil size of metal mask set up to equal, are favorable to maintaining the mechanical stability of metal mask.
In one embodiment, please refer to fig. 2, wherein fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a predetermined opening structure of a pixel definition layer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The predetermined openings of the pixel defining layer include a red pixel opening 101, a blue pixel opening 103, and a green pixel opening 102. It should be noted that the red pixel opening 101 is used for accommodating a red pixel light-emitting material to form a red pixel light-emitting unit; the blue pixel opening 103 is used for accommodating a blue pixel light-emitting material to form a blue pixel light-emitting unit; the green pixel opening 102 is used to accommodate a green pixel emissive material to form a green pixel emissive unit. The red pixel aperture 101 has a first predetermined dimension W1 along the first direction X and a second predetermined dimension L1 along the second direction Y; the blue pixel aperture 103 has a first predetermined dimension W2 along the first direction X and a second predetermined dimension L2 along the second direction Y; the green pixel openings 102 are elliptical pixel openings, and an included angle G is formed between the major axis direction or the minor axis direction of the green pixel openings and the first direction X; in one embodiment, the first predetermined dimension W1 and the second predetermined dimension L1 of the red pixel aperture 101 satisfy: w1 ═ L1; the first and second predetermined sizes W2 and L2 of the blue pixel aperture 103 satisfy: w2 ═ L2; an included angle G between the long axis direction or the short axis direction of the green pixel opening 102 and the first direction X satisfies: g is 45 degrees. In this embodiment, the red pixel opening 101, the blue pixel opening 103 and the green pixel opening 102 all have regular opening shapes, so that the regular opening shapes of the metal mask plate can be conveniently formed according to the red pixel opening 101, the blue pixel opening 103 and the green pixel opening 102.
In an embodiment, please refer to fig. 2 and fig. 3, wherein fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a predetermined opening of a pixel defining layer and an opening of a metal mask according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The preset openings of the pixel definition layer comprise a red pixel opening 101, a blue pixel opening 103 and a green pixel opening 102; the openings of the metal mask plate 200 include a first mask hole 201 corresponding to the red pixel opening 101, a third mask hole 203 corresponding to the blue pixel opening 103, and a second mask hole 202 corresponding to the green pixel opening 102. The first preset size W1 of the red pixel aperture 101 is enlarged by a first proportion, resulting in a first aperture size of the first mask aperture 201 along the first direction X; the second preset size L1 of the red pixel aperture 101 is enlarged by a second ratio, resulting in a second aperture size of the first mask aperture 201 along the second direction Y; the first mask hole 201 is obtained based on the first and second opening sizes of the first mask hole 201. Similarly, the first predetermined dimension W2 of the blue pixel opening 103 is enlarged by a first ratio, resulting in a first opening dimension of the third mask hole 203 along the first direction X; a second preset dimension L2 of the blue pixel opening 103 is enlarged by a second ratio, resulting in a second opening dimension of the third mask hole 203 along the second direction Y; the third mask hole 203 is obtained based on the first and second opening sizes of the third mask hole 203. The major and minor axes of the green pixel apertures 102 are enlarged at a first and second rate, respectively, resulting in major and minor axes of the second mask apertures 202; and the second mask hole 202 is obtained based on the major axis and the minor axis of the second mask hole 202. Optionally, the first proportion is equal to the second proportion, that is, the preset openings of the pixel definition layer are expanded in the first direction and the second direction in the equal proportion, so as to obtain openings of the metal mask plate.
Step S102, determining a first preset hole opening allowance of the pixel definition layer along a first direction and a second preset hole opening allowance of the pixel definition layer along a second direction based on the hole opening size of the metal mask plate.
It should be noted that after the size of the opening of the metal mask is determined, error evaluation is performed by combining the manufacturing process of the metal mask and the process of performing evaporation of the light-emitting layer material by using the metal mask, and allowance is set for the opening of the pixel definition layer according to the error evaluation result, so that the opening of the pixel definition layer meets the process precision requirement.
Specifically, the step of determining a first preset opening margin of the pixel definition layer along a first direction and a second preset opening margin along a second direction based on the opening size of the metal mask plate includes:
and determining the opening parameters of the metal mask plate based on the opening size of the metal mask plate. The opening parameters of the metal mask plate comprise the thickness of a film material of the metal mask plate, the opening deviation value of the metal mask plate and the net opening deviation of the metal mask plate when the metal mask plate is opened.
And determining a first projection deviation of the projection of the metal mask plate on the pixel definition layer along the first direction and a second projection deviation along the second direction based on the opening parameters of the metal mask plate. It should be noted that the projection deviation of the projection of the metal mask on the pixel definition layer is directly related to the accuracy of making the opening of the pixel definition layer by using the metal mask, so that the opening margin of the pixel definition layer can be set according to the projection deviation of the projection of the metal mask on the pixel definition layer, so as to meet the requirement of process accuracy.
And determining the first preset opening margin based on the first projection deviation, and determining the second preset opening margin based on the second projection deviation. The first predetermined opening margin and the second predetermined opening margin are set for a predetermined opening size of the pixel definition layer, and are buffer amounts of opening sizes set to match the projection deviation. Based on the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer, the first preset opening margin is directly reflected in the opening gap size along the first direction, and the second preset opening margin is directly reflected in the opening gap size along the second direction, so that in the design scheme of the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer, the preset opening gap can be different in the first direction and the second direction.
Step S103, determining a target opening size of the pixel definition layer based on the first preset opening margin, the second preset opening margin and a preset opening size of the pixel definition layer.
Specifically, the step S103 includes:
and determining the opening gap difference of the pixel definition layer based on the first preset opening allowance and the second preset opening allowance. It should be noted that the first direction is a stretching direction of the metal mask plate, and the precision of the first direction can be adjusted by the stretching force, so that an excessive value does not need to be set for the first preset hole-opening allowance; the second direction is a non-net-spreading direction, and the precision of the second direction cannot be adjusted by external force, so that a larger value needs to be set for the second preset hole-opening allowance; based on the above factors, the aperture gap in the first direction is smaller than the aperture gap in the second direction at the predetermined aperture size of the pixel definition layer.
The step of determining the opening gap difference of the pixel definition layer based on the first preset opening margin and the second preset opening margin comprises: and subtracting the second preset opening allowance from the first preset opening allowance to obtain the opening gap difference of the pixel definition layer. The opening gap difference of the pixel definition layer is the difference value of the opening gap along the second direction and the opening gap along the first direction under the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer.
And determining the target opening size of the pixel definition layer based on the opening gap difference of the pixel definition layer and the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer. Specifically, the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer comprises a first preset size along the first direction and a second preset size along the second direction, and the target opening size of the pixel definition layer comprises a first target size along the first direction and a second target size along the second direction. The step of determining the target opening size of the pixel definition layer based on the opening gap difference of the pixel definition layer and the preset opening size of the pixel definition layer comprises the following steps: determining a target opening offset based on the opening gap difference of the pixel definition layer, the target offset being equal to one-half of the opening gap difference of the pixel definition layer; subtracting the first preset size from the target opening offset to obtain the first target size; summing the second preset size and the target opening offset to obtain a second target size; determining a target aperture size of the pixel definition layer based on the first target size and the second target size.
In one embodiment, please refer to fig. 2 to 4, wherein fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a target opening of a pixel definition layer formed by a predetermined opening of the pixel definition layer according to an embodiment of the present application. Based on the foregoing embodiment, the predetermined openings of the pixel defining layer include the red pixel opening 101, the blue pixel opening 103 and the green pixel opening 102, and the first predetermined size W1 and the second predetermined size L1 of the red pixel opening 101 satisfy: w1 ═ L1; the first and second predetermined sizes W2 and L2 of the blue pixel aperture 103 satisfy: w2 ═ L2; an included angle G between the long axis direction or the short axis direction of the green pixel opening 102 and the first direction X satisfies: g-45 degrees. The first mask hole 201 of the metal mask plate 200 is formed based on the red pixel opening 101, the third mask hole 203 of the metal mask plate 200 is formed based on the blue pixel opening 103, and the second mask hole 202 of the metal mask plate 200 is formed based on the green pixel opening 102. A first preset opening margin and a second preset opening margin corresponding to the red pixel opening 101, the blue pixel opening 103 and the green pixel opening 102 are determined based on the first mask hole 201, the third mask hole 203 and the second mask hole 202, respectively. Based on the first preset opening allowance and the second preset opening allowance of the red pixel opening 101, the blue pixel opening 103 and the green pixel opening 102, the first preset size W1 and the second preset size L1 of the red pixel opening 101, the first preset size W2 and the second preset size L2 of the blue pixel opening 103, and the included angle G of the green pixel opening 102 are adjusted. The size of the target opening size of the finally formed red pixel opening 101 in the first direction X is smaller than the size of the target opening size of the finally formed blue pixel opening 103 in the second direction Y, and the angle between the long axis direction or the short axis direction of the finally formed green pixel opening 102 and the first direction X is not equal to 45 degrees. The adjustment basically keeps the opening area of the pixel definition layer on one hand, is beneficial to maintaining the service life of the light emitting layer, and enlarges the minimum size of the opening gap of the pixel definition layer on the other hand, thereby being beneficial to improving the manufacturing yield of the light emitting layer.
