Before describing in detail a display mother board, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display panel provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, the following description is made on related technologies:
in a process for manufacturing an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) Light-Emitting element includes vapor deposition film layers such as a Light-Emitting material layer, and the vapor deposition film layers may be formed by depositing a vapor deposition material into sub-pixels of a driving back plate by vapor deposition. Due to shadow effect in the evaporation process, the design size or design position of the evaporated film formed by actual evaporation is deviated from that of the film, and thus poor product appearance is caused.
In an OLED organic light emitting device, there are two evaporation modes of each evaporation film layer: vertical vapor deposition process and horizontal vapor deposition process. The main current approach of AMOLED is to use a linear evaporation source for horizontal evaporation.
Specifically, the horizontal vapor deposition process is to horizontally place a substrate to be vapor deposited, wherein a linear vapor deposition source is positioned above or below the substrate to be vapor deposited, the linear vapor deposition source horizontally moves along a certain direction, and a vapor deposition material is vertically vapor deposited on the substrate to be vapor deposited. The vertical vapor deposition process is to vertically arrange a substrate to be vapor deposited, wherein a vapor deposition source is positioned on the side surface of the substrate to be vapor deposited, and vapor deposition materials are horizontally vapor deposited on the substrate to be vapor deposited.
The present inventors have found through studies that one of the causes of the above-mentioned disadvantages is: in the vapor deposition process, the alignment condition of the vapor deposition source and the substrate to be vapor deposited can be judged theoretically only by judging the relative position between the center of the vapor deposition source and the center of the corresponding sub-pixel on the substrate to be vapor deposited. However, in practical applications, the vapor deposition source has a certain vapor deposition angle, and there is a shadow effect during vapor deposition, so that there is a possibility that the center of the light emitting functional layer formed by the actual vapor deposition is not necessarily the center of the designed sub-pixel. In other words, in the vapor deposition process, the vapor deposition angle needs to be controlled, and the boundary position of the vapor deposition film layer may deviate from the designed size or designed position of the film layer due to the shadow effect.
In addition, in the process of manufacturing the OLED organic light emitting device, in order to improve production efficiency, the display panels are not manufactured individually, but a display mother board including a plurality of spaced and independent single panel regions is manufactured first. After the display mother board is manufactured, the display mother board is cut based on the single panel area to obtain a plurality of display panels. When the display panel mother board is manufactured, the same film layer on the area where each display panel is positioned (namely a single panel area) is manufactured synchronously.
Accordingly, in order to improve the above-mentioned problems, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display motherboard, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display device, which can improve the problem that the boundary position of the vapor deposition film layer deviates from the design time position, resulting in poor product.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the display mother board 1 provided in the embodiment of the disclosure has a plurality of single panel areas A1 distributed at intervals, where the single panel area A1 is an area where a single display panel is formed after the display mother board 1 is divided based on the single panel area A1, and a plurality of sub-pixels P are disposed in each single panel area A1.
In terms of the stacked structure, as shown in fig. 4, the display mother board 1 includes a driving back board 100 and a plurality of light emitting elements 200 disposed on the driving back board 100, the light emitting elements 200 are disposed in the corresponding sub-pixels P, and the light emitting elements 200 include at least two vapor deposition film layers B stacked in sequence from the direction close to the driving back board 100 to the direction far from the driving back board 100. The driving backboard 100 may include a substrate 110 and a driving circuit layer 120 disposed on the substrate 110, where the driving circuit layer 120 is used to drive the sub-pixels P to emit light.
Wherein at least part of the subpixels P are configured to:
as shown in fig. 2, when the vapor deposition layer B is formed by horizontal vapor deposition using a linear vapor deposition source, the aspect ratio of the sub-pixel P is 1 or more, and the longitudinal extension direction of the sub-pixel P is the moving direction of the linear vapor deposition source (schematically shown as X direction in the figure);
alternatively, as shown in fig. 3, when the vapor deposition layer B is formed by a vertical vapor deposition method, the aspect ratio of the subpixel P is 0.82 to 1.22.
For the horizontal vapor deposition mode, as shown in fig. 1, the vapor deposition source 10 has a certain vapor deposition angle α in the horizontal movement (Scan) direction of the linear vapor deposition source 10, and the vapor deposition angle α of the vapor deposition material on the substrate 20 to be vapor deposited is adjusted and changed along with the movement of the linear vapor deposition source 10 in the horizontal movement direction X of the linear vapor deposition source 10, in other words, the vapor deposition angle α is controllable in the horizontal movement direction X of the linear vapor deposition source 10; in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the linear vapor deposition source 10, the angle at which the vapor deposition material is deposited on the substrate 20 to be deposited does not change with the movement of the linear vapor deposition source 10, in other words, the vapor deposition angle α is not controllable in the direction perpendicular to the horizontal movement direction X of the linear vapor deposition source 10.
In the above-mentioned scheme, in order to reduce the deviation between the actually evaporated deposition film B and the design size, the arrangement mode of the sub-pixels P arranged on the display mother board 1 is improved, and at least some of the sub-pixels P in the display mother board 1 are arranged to be parallel to the horizontal moving direction X of the linear deposition source 10 in the length direction, so that the size of the shadow (shadow) area of the deposition film B corresponding to at least some of the sub-pixels P in the length direction of the sub-pixels P is more controllable, that is, the boundary position of the deposition film B in the length direction of the sub-pixels P is controllable, which is more beneficial to reducing the deviation between the boundary of the deposition film B and the design size compared with the scheme in which the boundary position of the deposition film B in the width direction of the sub-pixels P is controllable.
For the vertical evaporation mode, the center of the evaporation source is right at the center of the sub-pixel P, the evaporation source has a certain evaporation angle α, an evaporation shadow is formed in the peripheral direction of the sub-pixel P, if the difference between the length and the width of the sub-pixel P is large, the difference between the size of the evaporation shadow in the length and the width of the sub-pixel P is correspondingly large, in other words, the uniformity of the deviation of the boundary position of the evaporation film B in the peripheral direction is poor, so, in order to ensure that the size of the evaporation shadow area in the peripheral direction of the sub-pixel P is more uniform, when the evaporation film B is formed based on the vertical evaporation mode, the aspect ratio of the sub-pixel P may be approximately 1:1, for example, the aspect ratio of the sub-pixel P may be 0.82 to 1.22.
In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the light emitting element 200 may include an anode 210, a light emitting functional layer 220, and a cathode 230 stacked, and the light emitting functional layer 220 may include not only a light emitting material layer (EL layer) but also various at least one thin film such as a Hole Injection Layer (HIL), a Hole Transport Layer (HTL), an Electron Transport Layer (ETL), an Electron Injection Layer (EIL), and the like. In the process of manufacturing the light emitting element 200, a plurality of vapor deposition materials may be used to form each of the thin films, and each of the thin films may be a vapor deposition film B formed by vapor deposition of each of the vapor deposition materials on a substrate, and the light emitting element 200 is finally completed by stacking a plurality of the films.
In addition, the sub-pixel packaging technology is a metal-free mask self-alignment pixelation technology. The technology can obviously improve the product performance of AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode, active matrix organic light emitting diode or Active matrix organic light emitting diode), greatly increase the effective light emitting area (aperture ratio) of the AMOLED, and is favorable for greatly improving the pixel density.
In some exemplary embodiments, the display mother board 1 may be a display mother board obtained by adopting a sub-pixel packaging technology. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the display mother board 1 further includes a pixel defining layer 300, a spacer 400, and a pixel packaging layer 500, wherein the pixel defining layer 300 is disposed on the driving back board 100, and a plurality of pixel openings 310 are provided to define a plurality of sub-pixels P; the isolation column 400 is located at a side of the pixel defining layer 300 away from the driving backplate 100, and is disposed around the pixel opening 310; the pixel encapsulation layer 500 covers a side of the light emitting element 200 away from the driving backplate 100; wherein the light emitting element 200 includes an anode 210, a light emitting functional layer 220, and a cathode 230 stacked in this order from the direction close to the driving back plate 100 to the direction far from the driving back plate 100, and at least two of the vapor deposition film layers B include the light emitting functional layer 220 and the cathode 230; in the same light-emitting device 200, the front projection of the cathode 230 on the driving back plate 100 is at least partially outside the front projection of the light-emitting functional layer 220 on the driving back plate 100, so that the cathodes 230 of adjacent light-emitting devices 200 are all overlapped to the isolation pillars 400 to be connected to each other.
As shown in fig. 4, the isolation column 400 includes a conductive structure 410 and an insulating structure 420 sequentially stacked from the pixel defining layer 300 toward the pixel defining layer 300, wherein an edge of the insulating structure 420 protrudes from an edge of the conductive structure 410 to form an eave structure 430, the eave structure 430 encloses a concave region C with a side surface of the conductive structure 410 and the pixel defining layer 300, and the cathode 230 is at least partially positioned in the concave region C and is overlapped to the conductive structure 410.
With the above scheme, the edge of the insulating structure 420 protrudes from the edge of the conductive structure 410 to form the eave structure 430, and the eave structure 430, the side surface of the conductive structure 410 and the pixel defining layer 300 enclose to form the concave region C, so that the isolation column 400 can be used as an insulating partition wall to separate different sub-pixels P, where the conductive structure 410 can be connected with the cathode 230 between two adjacent sub-pixels P.
The specific preparation process of the display mother board 1 adopting the sub-pixel packaging technology can be as follows:
First, a pixel defining layer 300 is formed on the driving back plate 100 prepared with the driving circuit layer 120, and a plurality of pixel openings 310 are defined on the pixel defining layer 300;
then, a barrier rib 400 is formed at a side of the pixel defining layer 300 away from the driving backplate 100, the barrier rib 400 is located between the adjacent pixel openings 310, and the barrier rib 400 includes a conductive structure 410 and an insulating structure 420 sequentially stacked in a direction from the pixel defining layer 300 to the pixel defining layer 300;
Then, carrying out full-surface evaporation to finish the deposition of the first color full-set OLED luminous functional layer 220 and the cathode 230, then carrying out full-surface film encapsulation (first inorganic layer), and selectively removing the parts which do not need to remain on the substrate (which is a key step for eliminating the fine metal mask) through the processes of gluing, exposing, developing, etching, stripping and the like, thereby finishing the patterning of the first color, and then repeating the process twice to finish the full-color patterning of three primary colors of RGB;
then, the obtained substrate was subjected to whole-surface film packaging to obtain the display mother board 1.
On the prepared display mother board 1, the conductive structures 410 of the isolation columns 400 need to overlap with the cathode 230, but do not overlap with the light-emitting functional layer 220.
However, in the related art, in the display device adopting the sub-pixel packaging technology, due to the shadow effect of the evaporation film B in the light emitting functional layer 220 during the evaporation, the deviation between the boundary position and the design position of the light emitting functional layer 220 may occur, which may cause the defects of uneven overlapping and incapability of overlapping between the cathode 230 and the spacer 400.
In the display mother board 1 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, in an application scenario in which the display mother board 1 adopts a sub-pixel packaging technology, aiming at a horizontal evaporation mode, the sub-pixels P are configured such that the length direction of the sub-pixels P is along the horizontal movement direction of the linear evaporation source 10, so that deviation between the boundary positions and design dimensions of the light-emitting functional layer 220 and the cathode 230 can be reduced, and the problem that the cathode 230 cannot be effectively overlapped with the isolation column 400 can be improved; in addition, regarding the vertical vapor deposition method, the arrangement method of the sub-pixels P may be configured such that the aspect ratio of the sub-pixels P is approximately 1:1, for example, the aspect ratio of the sub-pixel P may be 0.82 to 1.22, so as to ensure that the evaporation shadows of the light-emitting functional layer 220 and the cathode 230 in the peripheral direction of the sub-pixel P are uniform, thereby ensuring the overlapping uniformity between the cathode 230 and the isolation column 400 in the peripheral direction of the sub-pixel P.
In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the boundaries of the orthographic projections of the cathode 230 and the light emitting functional layer 220 on the driving backplate 100 are all beyond the boundaries of the orthographic projections of the anode 210 within the same sub-pixel P. Along the width direction of the sub-pixel P, a first distance d1 is provided between the boundary between the cathode 230 and the anode 210, and a second distance d2 is provided between the boundary between the light emitting functional layer 220 and the anode 210; along the length direction of the sub-pixel P, a third distance d3 is provided between the boundary between the cathode 230 and the anode 210, and a fourth distance d4 is provided between the boundary between the light emitting functional layer 220 and the anode 210; the first distance d1 is greater than or equal to the third distance d3, and the second distance d2 is greater than or equal to the fourth distance d4.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, when the aspect ratio of the sub-pixel P is greater than 1, the display mother substrate 1 obtained by the sub-pixel packaging technology is observed by a fluorescence microscope when the light emitting element 200 is formed by a horizontal vapor deposition method, b > a, where b is the distance between the boundary of the optical functional layer in the length direction of the sub-pixel P and the boundary of the anode 210, and a is the distance between the edge of the optical functional layer in the width direction of the sub-pixel P and the boundary of the anode 210. That is, the shadow area size caused by the shadow effect in the conventional subpixel P along its length direction is larger.
In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, when the aspect ratio of the sub-pixel P is greater than 1, a schematic diagram of the distribution of the layers in the light emitting element 200 is shown in fig. 6. As shown in fig. 6, when the film layer B of the light emitting element 200 is formed by the horizontal vapor deposition method, when the subpixels P are arranged such that the longitudinal direction is parallel to the moving direction X of the linear vapor deposition source 10, the distribution of the film layer is obtained as follows: a distance between the boundary of the cathode 230 and the anode 210 in the width direction of the sub-pixel P is a first distance d1, and a distance between the boundary of the cathode and the anode in the length direction of the sub-pixel P is a second distance d2, wherein d1 is greater than or equal to d2; the distance between the light emitting functional layer 220 and the boundary of the anode 210 in the width direction Y of the sub-pixel P is a third distance d3, and the distance in the length direction of the sub-pixel P is a fourth distance d4, wherein d3 is greater than or equal to d4.
It can be seen that, in the case where the vapor deposition film layer B of the light emitting element 200 is formed by the horizontal vapor deposition method, when the sub-pixels P are arranged such that the longitudinal direction is parallel to the moving direction of the linear vapor deposition source 10, the width of the shadow region in the longitudinal direction of the sub-pixels P can be effectively reduced.
Similarly, when the aspect ratio of the sub-pixel P is close to 1:1, the distribution of the layers in the light emitting device 200 is schematically shown in fig. 7. As shown in fig. 7, when the film layer B of the light emitting element 200 is formed by the horizontal vapor deposition method, when the subpixels P are arranged such that the longitudinal direction is parallel to the moving direction of the linear vapor deposition source 10, the distribution of the film layer is obtained as follows: a distance between the boundary of the cathode 230 and the anode 210 in the width direction of the sub-pixel P is a first distance d1, and a distance between the boundary of the cathode and the anode in the length direction X of the sub-pixel P is a second distance d2, wherein d1 is greater than or equal to d2; the distance between the light emitting functional layer 220 and the boundary of the anode 210 in the width direction Y of the sub-pixel P is a third distance d3, and the distance in the length direction of the sub-pixel P is a fourth distance d4, wherein d3 is greater than or equal to d4. It can be seen that, in the case where the vapor deposition film layer B of the light emitting element 200 is formed by the horizontal vapor deposition method, when the sub-pixels P are arranged such that the longitudinal direction is parallel to the moving direction X of the linear vapor deposition source 10, the width of the shadow region in the longitudinal direction of the sub-pixels P can be effectively reduced.
Further, in some exemplary embodiments, the isolation column 400 has a first width d0 along a width and/or length direction of the sub-pixel P, wherein a difference between the second distance d2 and the fourth distance d4 is smaller than the first width d0. The isolation column 400 may serve as an insulating partition wall between adjacent sub-pixels P to separate the different sub-pixels P, and in order to ensure that the light emitting function layers 220 of the adjacent sub-pixels P are separated, the isolation column 400 needs to have a certain width, i.e., a first width d0, wherein a difference between the second distance d2 and the fourth distance d4 is smaller than the first width d0.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the sub-pixel P may be any suitable shape such as a quadrangle, a polygon, or a circle.
In order to achieve maximum utilization of the substrate 110 of the display motherboard 1, OLED products of different sizes, i.e. mixed alignment (MMG), can be prepared on the same substrate 110.
In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the display mother substrate 1 includes at least two substrate regions 11 arranged in a mixed manner, and each of the substrate regions 11 includes a plurality of the single panel regions A1, respectively. Here, the single panel area A1 in the different substrate areas 11 may be different sizes of OLED display panels based on the cut display mother board 1.
Wherein a plurality of the sub-pixels P include sub-pixels P of at least two different colors, for example, RGB sub-pixels P; the aspect ratios of the sub-pixels P of the same color in different substrate regions 11 are all within a threshold value, and the opening shapes are the same, for example, the opening shapes of the R sub-pixels P in two substrate regions 11 are the same, and the aspect ratios are all within a threshold value; and, the sub-pixels P in at least one of the substrate areas 11 are configured to: as shown in fig. 9, when the vapor-deposited film layer B is formed by horizontal vapor deposition using the linear vapor deposition source 10, at least a part of the sub-pixels P have an aspect ratio of 1 or more and a longitudinal extension direction of the linear vapor deposition source 10; alternatively, as shown in fig. 10, when the vapor deposition layer B is formed by a vertical vapor deposition method, at least a part of the subpixels P have an aspect ratio of 0.82 to 1.22.
In the above-mentioned scheme, the aspect ratios of the sub-pixels P of the same color are all within the threshold, which may specifically mean that the aspect ratios of the sub-pixels P of the same color in the different substrate regions 11 are close to each other, and the aspect ratios of the sub-pixels P of the same color in the different substrate regions 11 are each in the range of 0.82-1.22.
It should be further noted that the above solution may be applied to a horizontal evaporation mixed arrangement situation or a vertical evaporation mixed arrangement situation, and the effective overlap between the cathode 230 and the isolation column 400 in each product in the mixed arrangement situation is ensured by designing the sub-pixels P with the same color in different substrate areas 11 to have similar opening shapes and similar aspect ratios, in other words, designing all the sub-pixels P with the same color in the display mother board 1 in the mixed arrangement to have similar opening shapes and similar aspect ratios.
Specifically, the arrangement of the subpixels P in the substrate region 11 may be as follows:
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9, at least two of the substrate regions 11 include a first substrate region 11A and a second substrate region 11B, and the length directions of the single-sided board region A1 in the first substrate region 11A and the single-sided board region A1 in the second substrate region 11B are perpendicular to each other. In this way, when the aspect ratio of the sub-pixel P is greater than 1, the utilization rate of the substrate 110 can be improved as much as possible while the different substrate regions 11 are mixed.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 9, at least two of the substrate regions 11 include a first substrate region 11A and a second substrate region 11B, and the single-sided board region A1 in the first substrate region 11A and the single-sided board region A1 in the second substrate region 11B may also be disposed parallel to each other in the length direction.
Furthermore, in some exemplary embodiments, the length extension directions of the same color sub-pixels P in different substrate areas 11 are the same.
Referring to fig. 5, when the sub-pixel packaging technology is used to form the evaporation coating layer B in the sub-pixel P, the evaporation source 10 has a certain evaporation angle α without a metal mask, and if the distance between the evaporation source 10 and the substrate 20 to be evaporated is S, the dimension a of the evaporation coating layer B in a certain direction in the sub-pixel P can be calculated based on the formula a=cotα×s.
In the conventional embodiment shown in fig. 5 (a), the vapor deposition angle α is denoted as a first vapor deposition angle α1; fig. 5 (b) shows the vapor deposition angle α in the embodiment of the present application, denoted as a second vapor deposition angle α2, and α1 is smaller than α2. As shown in the drawing, the size of the vapor deposition layer B is larger when the vapor deposition angle α of the vapor deposition source is α1 than when the vapor deposition angle α of the vapor deposition source 10 is α2. Therefore, in order to ensure that the shadow region of the light-emitting functional layer 220 does not affect the overlap between the cathode 230 and the spacer 400, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the evaporation angle α may be increased compared to the conventional evaporation angle α when the evaporation film B such as the light-emitting functional layer 220 is formed by evaporation.
Exemplary, the vapor deposition angle α in the vapor deposition process in the conventional technology is about 50 ° to 52 °, and in some embodiments of the present application, the vapor deposition angle α may be 60 ° to 90 °. The specific value of the evaporation angle alpha can be adjusted and selected according to the size of each evaporation film layer B in the sub-pixel P. Illustratively, the vapor deposition angle α may be 65 °.
