Active-matrix formula organic electric-excitation luminescent display module and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention is relevant to a kind of display module and manufacture method thereof, and particularly relevant to a kind of active-matrix formula organic electric-excitation luminescent display module and manufacture method thereof.
Background technology
The organic electro-luminescent display LCD of comparing, owing to do not needing backlight of additional configuration, and still with the frivolous portative advantage of LCD, on market, come into one's own gradually in recent years.General organic electro-luminescent display mainly can be divided into active-matrix formula and simple matrix formula two major types, and with active-matrix formula organic electric-excitation luminescent display module, it has can be luminous continuously and advantage such as low voltage drive.
In active-matrix formula organic electric-excitation luminescent display module, with amorphous silicon (amorphous silicon, a-Si) thin-film transistor (the Thin Film Transistor that comes out of made, TFT) has cheap advantage, and the manufacturing of this kind amorphous silicon is good owing to uniformity, more favourable manufacturing at large size panel.But, the thin-film transistor of amorphous silicon is by in the restriction that is subjected to the material characteristic, so the thin-film transistor of making all is to belong to the N type, the thin-film transistor of this kind kenel has the restriction that circuit connects, wherein a kind of docked mode is with the source electrode of thin-film transistor and the anode series of organic electric exciting light-emitting diode, but when the cross-pressure of this kind docked mode in the organic electric-excitation luminescent display module changed, the voltage on the source electrode will influence the size of current on the thin-film transistor and cause the electric current instability.As for another docked mode then is that drain of film transistor is connected in series with the negative electrode of organic electric exciting light-emitting diode, and so the electric current on the thin-film transistor will can not be subjected to the influence of voltage on the drain.
In order to reach the electrical purpose of connecting of above-mentioned negative electrode with drain of film transistor and organic electric exciting light-emitting diode; please refer to Fig. 1; at first be with by gate 102; lock insulating barrier 104; channel layer 106; source electrode 108a; the thin-film transistor 110 that drain 108b is constituted is formed on the substrate 100; then on substrate 100, form protective layer 112; then; on protective layer 112, form via the metal electrode layer 116 (that is negative electrode of organic electric exciting light-emitting diode) of opening 114 with drain 108b electric connection; on metal electrode layer 116, form again by electron transfer layer 118; organic luminous layer 120; electricity hole transport layer 122; 124 of electricity hole implanted layers storehouse in regular turn form organic luminous material layer 126, form transparent conductor layers 128 (that is anode of organic electric exciting light-emitting diode) at luminous organic material layer 126 more at last.
