Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
On the other hand, ink must be printed in the pixel area. However, ink may be erroneously dropped to a region other than the pixel region, which may cause a defect in a subsequent process. Therefore, the ink that drips by mistake is removed by the repair process. For example, misdropped ink may be removed using a laser.
However, the larger the number of erroneously dropped inks, the longer the repair process time. If the number of ink droplets by mistake exceeds the preset number, the repair is not performed, and the entire substrate is treated as defective. Since the higher the resolution is, the more the number of pixels is, the number of ink erroneously dropped may become larger.
The invention provides a method for manufacturing a display device capable of easily removing ink which is erroneously dropped.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a display device manufactured by the above manufacturing method.

Therefore, it is needless to say that the first element, the first constituent element, or the first portion mentioned below may be the second element, the second constituent element, or the second portion within the technical idea of the present invention.
Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the same or corresponding constituent elements will be given the same reference numerals and repeated descriptions thereof will be omitted.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart for explaining a manufacturing method of a display device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 to 7 are intermediate step diagrams for explaining the manufacturing method of fig. 1.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, banks 380 defining ink ejection areas (or light transmitting areas) TAl, TA2, TA3 are formed on a substrate 310 (S10).
Specifically, the base 310 is made of a material that can transmit light, and may be, for example, a glass substrate or a plastic substrate, but is not limited thereto. The bank 380 may be a substance that causes a chemical change when light is irradiated (i.e., a first photosensitive substance). For example, the banks 380 may include negative photoresist (e.g., aromatic bis-azides (bis-azides), methacrylates (methacrylic acid ester), etc.), positive photoresist (e.g., polymethyl methacrylate, diazidonaphthoquinone, etc.). In addition, the bank 380 may alternatively contain a black matrix, a black pigment, a metal substance, or the like to function as a light shielding layer, or may further include a reflective substance such as Al, ag to improve light efficiency.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3, a sacrificial pattern 410 is formed on a bank 380 (S20).
Specifically, the sacrificial material is formed on the entire surface of the substrate 310 on which the bank 380 is formed. The sacrificial material may be a material that causes a chemical change when irradiated with light (i.e., a second photosensitive material). The sacrificial material may be a negative photoresist or a positive photoresist, and may be a material different from the first photosensitive material constituting the bank 380.
The sacrificial material formed in the ink ejection areas TA1, TA2, and TA3 is removed, and the sacrificial pattern 410 is formed by leaving the sacrificial material only on the bank 380. In the case of using a photosensitive material as the sacrificial material, only the sacrificial material formed in the ink ejection areas TA1, TA2, TA3 can be selectively removed by an exposure and development process.
Referring to fig. 1 and 4, the inks 330, 340, 350 are ejected to the ink ejection areas TA1, TA2, TA3 (S30). For example, the first ink 330 may be printed to the first ink ejection area TA1, the second ink 340 may be printed to the second ink ejection area TA2, and the third ink 350 may be printed to the third ink ejection area TA3 by an inkjet device.
For example, the first ink 330 may be for blue light, the second ink 340 may be for red light, and the third ink 350 may be for green light. For example, the first ink 330 transmits blue light, the second ink 340 wavelength-converts or changes the blue light to make it red light, and the third ink 350 wavelength-converts or changes the blue light to make it green light. A detailed description thereof will be described later with reference to fig. 10. At least one of the first to third inks 330 to 350 may include quantum dots. Among them, the ink including quantum dots is called quantum dot ink.
In addition, as shown, the inks 330, 340, 350 are ejected such that the upper surface of the bank 380 is higher than the upper surface of the inks 330, 340, 350. This is, for example, to prevent the first ink 330 from exceeding the corresponding first ink ejection area TA1 and thereby affecting the adjacent second ink ejection area TA2. Since the first ink 330 and the second ink 340 are of mutually different kinds, the first ink 330 and the second ink 340 must not be mixed with each other. Therefore, the first ink 330 should not be ejected to the second ink ejection area TA2.
On the other hand, when the inks 330, 340, 350 are ejected to the ink ejection areas TA1, TA2, TA3, some of the inks 330a, 340a may be erroneously dropped to areas other than the ink ejection areas TA1, TA2, TA3. That is, a part of the ink 330a, 340a may be erroneously dropped onto the sacrificial pattern 410.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, a first overlay pattern 451 is formed on the inks 330, 340, 350 of the ink ejection areas TA1, TA2, TA3, and a second overlay pattern 452 is formed on the sacrificial pattern 410 (S40).
Specifically, the second cover pattern 452 is mainly formed on the upper surface 410u of the sacrificial pattern 410, and is hardly formed on the side 410s of the sacrificial pattern 410. In addition, the first cover pattern 451 is formed not to be higher than the sacrificial pattern 410. That is, the upper surface 410u of the sacrificial pattern 410 is higher than the upper surface 451u of the first cover pattern 451 (refer to reference numeral H1). Accordingly, at least a portion of the side 410s of the sacrificial pattern 410 is exposed.
In order to form the first and second cover patterns 451 and 452 in this manner, a Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, PECVD) method may be used, for example, but is not limited thereto. The first and second cover patterns 451 and 452 may be, for example, oxide films, nitride films, or oxynitride films, but are not limited thereto.
As shown, since a portion of the ink 330a, 340a is erroneously dropped on the sacrificial pattern 410, if the second cover pattern 452 is formed on the sacrificial pattern 410, the erroneously dropped ink 330a, 340a can be located between the sacrificial pattern 410 and the second cover pattern 452.
Referring to fig. 1, 6 and 7, the sacrificial pattern 410 and the second cover pattern 452 (refer to fig. 6) are removed to expose the upper surface 380u of the bank 380 (refer to fig. 7).
Specifically, the sacrificial pattern 410 may be removed using a liquid medicine. As the sacrificial pattern 410 is removed, the second cover pattern 452 on the sacrificial pattern 410 is also removed together. The erroneously dropped inks 330a, 340a located between the sacrificial pattern 410 and the second cover pattern 452 are also removed together.
Here, the chemical solution for removing the sacrificial pattern 410 uses a chemical solution having a higher selectivity for the sacrificial pattern 410 than the bank 380. That is, in the case where the bank 380 includes the first photosensitive material and the sacrificial pattern 410 includes the second photosensitive material, the selection ratio of the liquid medicine to the second photosensitive material should be higher with respect to the first photosensitive material. For example, the chemical may be tetramethylammonium hydroxide (Tetramethylammonium hydroxide, TMAH), but is not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 5, the upper surface 410u of the sacrificial pattern 410 is configured to be higher than the upper surface 451u of the first cover pattern 451, or the upper surface of the first cover pattern 451 is configured to be flush with the upper surface 380u of the bank 380 or lower than the upper surface 380u of the bank 380. Accordingly, since at least a portion of the side surface 410s of the sacrificial pattern 410 is exposed, the sacrificial pattern 410 can be easily removed by the chemical solution.
Further, since the first cover pattern 451 is disposed on the ink 330, 340, 350, the ink 330, 340, 350 is not damaged by the chemical liquid.
According to the method of manufacturing a display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the erroneously dropped inks 330a, 340a can be easily removed by the sacrificial pattern 410. Since an additional repair process using a laser or the like can be omitted or minimized, a yield drop caused by an increase in repair process time can be prevented.
Fig. 8 is a diagram for explaining a manufacturing method of a display device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of explanation, the differences from those explained with reference to fig. 1 to 7 will be mainly explained.
In the manufacturing method of the display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, regarding the S40 step of fig. 1, when the first cover pattern 451 is formed on the ink 330, 340, 350, the upper surface 451u of the first cover pattern 451 and the upper surface 380u of the bank 380 may be located at the same height (refer to fig. 5). Therefore, even after the sacrificial pattern 410 is removed, the upper surface 451u of the first cover pattern 451 and the upper surface 380u of the bank 380 can be located at the same height (refer to fig. 7).
On the other hand, in the manufacturing method of the display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, regarding the S40 step of fig. 1, when the first cover pattern 451 is formed on the ink 330, 340, 350, the upper surface 451u of the first cover pattern 451 may be formed lower than the upper surface 380u of the bank 380. If the first cover pattern 451 is formed in this manner, the boundary surface between the bank 380 and the sacrificial pattern 410 is exposed, and thus the sacrificial pattern 410 can be removed more easily by the chemical solution when the sacrificial pattern 410 is removed. If the sacrificial pattern 410 is removed, it may be formed as a cross section as shown in fig. 8. That is, the upper surface 451u of the first cover pattern 451 and the upper surface 380u of the dike 380 may differ by a given height H2.
Fig. 9 is a diagram for explaining a manufacturing method of a display device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of explanation, the differences from those explained with reference to fig. 1 to 7 will be mainly explained.
Referring to fig. 9, an additional cover film 393 may be formed over the result of fig. 7. That is, an additional cover film 393 may be formed on the upper surface 380u of the exposed bank 380 and the upper surface 451u of the first cover pattern 451. The additional coating film 393 may be an oxide film, a nitride film, or an oxynitride film. If both the first cover pattern 451 and the additional cover layer 393 are inorganic, the portion of the first cover pattern 451 in contact with the additional cover film 393 may constitute an inorganic-inorganic bond, and the inflow of moisture or air from the outside may be effectively blocked.
Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a part of a display device manufactured by the manufacturing method of a display device according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 10 shows a first substrate (or color conversion substrate) 30a in the display device.
Referring to fig. 10, a first light transmitting area TA1, a second light transmitting area TA2, a third light transmitting area TA3, a first light shielding area BA1, a second light shielding area BA2, and a third light shielding area BA3 are defined in the substrate 310. The first to third light transmitting areas TA1, TA2, TA3 correspond to the ink ejection areas TA1, TA2, TA3 of fig. 2.
The substrate 310 is provided with a first color filter 231, a second color filter 233, and a third color filter 235.
The first color filter 231 disposed in the first light-transmitting region TA1 may selectively transmit light of a first color (e.g., blue light) and block or absorb light of a second color (e.g., red light) and light of a third color (e.g., green light). The first color filter 231 may be a blue color filter (blue color filter) and may include a blue colorant (blue pigment) such as blue dye (blue dye) or blue pigment (blue pigment). The coloring material in the present specification is a concept including both dye (dye) and pigment (pigment).
The second color filter 233 disposed at the second light transmitting region TA2 may block or absorb light of the first color (e.g., blue light). That is, the second color filter 233 can function as a blue light blocking filter that blocks blue light. The second color filter 233 may selectively transmit light of a second color (e.g., red light) and block or absorb light of a first color (e.g., blue light) and light of a third color (e.g., green light). The second color filter 233 may be a red color filter (red color filter) and may include a red pigment (red color) such as a red dye (blue dye) or a red pigment (red pigment).
The third color filter 235 disposed at the third light transmitting region TA3 may block or absorb the light of the first color (e.g., blue light). That is, the third color filter 235 can also function as a blue blocking color filter. The third color filter 235 may selectively transmit light of a third color (e.g., green light) and block or absorb light of a first color (e.g., blue light) and light of a second color (e.g., red light). The third color filter 235 may be a green color filter (red color filter) and may include a green colorant (red color) such as green dye (green dye) or green pigment (green pigment).
Color patterns 251, 252, 253 are formed on the first to third light-shielding areas BA1, BA2, BA3. The color patterns 251, 252, 253 may be the same substance as the first color filter 231, and may be disposed on the same horizontal plane as the first color filter 231.
The first to third light shielding members 221, 222, 223 may be formed on the color patterns 251, 252, 253.
The first cover layer 391 may be conformally (conformally) formed on the first to third color filters 231, 233, 235, the first to third light shielding members 221, 222, 223. The first cover layer 391 can prevent the colored patterns 251, 252, 253, the first to third light shielding members 221, 222, 223, and the like from being damaged or contaminated by the infiltration of impurities such as moisture or air from the outside. The first cover layer 391 can prevent the coloring material included in the first color filter 231, the second color filter 233, and the third color filter 235 from diffusing to a different structure from the first color filter 231, the second color filter 233, and the third color filter 235, for example, the first wavelength conversion pattern 340, the second wavelength conversion pattern 350, and the like. In some embodiments, the first cover layer 391 may be composed of an inorganic substance. For example, the first capping layer 391 may be formed including silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, zirconium nitride, titanium nitride, hafnium nitride, tantalum nitride, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, tin oxide, cerium oxide, silicon oxynitride, and the like.
The bank 380 may be located on the first to third light-shielding areas BAl, BA2, BA3. The shape of the bank 380 in plan view may be a lattice shape.
A light-transmitting pattern 330 (corresponding to the first ink 330 of fig. 4) is formed on the first color filter 231 of the first light-transmitting region TA 1. The light-transmitting pattern 330 may be composed of a first base resin 331 and a first diffuser 333. The first base resin 331 is composed of a material having high light transmittance, and may be an organic material such as an epoxy-based resin, an acrylic-based resin, a cardo (cardo) based resin, or an imide-based resin, for example. The first scatterer 333 may be a light scattering particle, and may be, for example, a metal oxide particle or an organic particle. Examples of the metal oxide include titanium oxide (TiO 2), zirconium oxide (ZrO 2), aluminum oxide (Al 2O 3), indium oxide (In 2O 3), zinc oxide (ZnO), and tin oxide (SnO 2), and examples of the material of the organic particles include acrylic resin and urethane resin. The first scatterer 333 may not substantially convert the wavelength of the light transmitted through the light transmission pattern 330 and scatter the light in a random direction regardless of the incident direction of the incident light.
The light-transmitting pattern 330 may transmit incident light. The incident light is filtered by the red/green light component and emitted as blue light while passing through the light-transmitting pattern 330 and the first color filter 231.
A first wavelength conversion pattern 340 (corresponding to the second ink 340 of fig. 4) is formed on the second color filter 233 of the second light transmitting region TA2. The first wavelength conversion pattern 340 includes a second base resin 341, a second scatterer 343, and a first wavelength changer 345.
The second base resin 341 may be the same substance as the first base resin 331, or may contain at least one of substances illustrated as constituent substances of the first base resin 331. The second scatterer 343 may be the same substance as the first scatterer 333, or may contain at least one of substances illustrated as constituent substances of the first scatterer 333.
The first wavelength shifter 345 may convert or shift the peak wavelength of the incident light to another specific peak wavelength. The first wavelength shifter 345 may convert incident light (e.g., blue light) into red light having a single peak wavelength in a range of about 610nm to about 650nm and emit the same.
Examples of the first wavelength changer 345 include quantum dots, quantum rods, and phosphors. For example, quantum dots may emit particulate matter of a particular color as electrons transition from the conduction band to the valence band.
The quantum dots may be semiconductor nanocrystal materials. The quantum dots may have a specific band gap according to their composition and size, and emit light having an inherent wavelength after absorbing the light. Examples of the semiconductor nanocrystals of the quantum dot include group IV nanocrystals, group II-VI compound nanocrystals, group III-V compound nanocrystals, group IV-VI nanocrystals, and combinations thereof.
The group II-VI compound may be selected from the group consisting of: a binary compound selected from the group consisting of CdSe, cdTe, znS, znSe, znTe, znO, hgS, hgSe, hgTe, mgSe, mgS and mixtures thereof; a ternary element compound selected from the group consisting of InZnP, agInS, cuInS, cdSeS, cdSeTe, cdSTe, znSeS, znSeTe, znSTe, hgSeS, hgSeTe, hgSTe, cdZnS, cdZnSe, cdZnTe, cdHgS, cdHgSe, cdHgTe, hgZnS, hgZnSe, hgZnTe, mgZnSe, mgZnS and mixtures thereof; and a four element compound selected from the group consisting of HgZnTeS, cdZnSeS, cdZnSeTe, cdZnSTe, cdHgSeS, cdHgSeTe, cdHgSTe, hgZnSeS, hgZnSeTe, hgZnSTe and mixtures thereof.
