Form the method for packaging protection structure
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method for the packaging protection structure of a kind of formation organic illuminating element (organic EL), relate in particular to a kind of method that is applied to the formation packaging protection structure of organic light emitting display (OLED).
Background technology
Along with the arriving of information age, display has become the necessary element of electric equipment, and for example notebook computer, mobile phone, information household electrical appliances (IA) and PDA(Personal Digital Assistant) etc. need display device mostly.In general, gently, thin, power saving is the basic demand to display, but be subject to visual angle, answer speed, brightness, picture quality and to the requirements such as stability of temperature, in a new generation's display technology, organic light emitting display element (Organic Light Emitting Device, OLED) because have self-luminosity (need not use backlight), superperformance such as the visual angle is wide, answer speed is fast, manufacturing process is simple, power consumption is low, become one of ordinary skill in the art's active research development product at present.
Because the history of organic light emitting display development is long not enough, present technology still faces some problems that remain to be broken through.Especially, aqueous vapor in the atmosphere and oxygen are easy to cause the cathode oxidation of organic light emitting display element (abbreviation organic EL) and organic compound interface phenomenon such as to peel off, make organic EL very easily produce dim spot (darkspot), not only reduce the good rate of display and the briliancy of being sent, also shortened the useful life of display simultaneously.For fear of above-mentioned defective, traditional technology is many avoids electrode layer material and organic layer material in the organic light emitting display element to contact with external environment with the packaging protection of metallic packaging jar or glass packaging jar.Yet the metallic packaging jar has Heavy Weight, easy shortcoming such as oxidized on making, the glass packaging jar have the processing of being difficult for, frangible, volume big and shortcoming such as Heavy Weight.And; the then property of metal and glass flatness poor, the element bonding place requires high again; very easily stress is uneven and cause and peel off phenomenon in the encapsulation, moreover along with the trend that adopts plastic base to make organic EL, may not re-use metal or glass packaging protection structure in the future.Therefore, reach lighter, thinner in order to make organic EL, and the development that adapts to following overall plasticization of organic EL, the packaging protection structure plating mode that compactness is high should be actively to strengthen the emphasis of research and development.
