All be to be that example describes with active driving in the following quantum dot light emitting diodde desplay device that the utility model embodiment provides.
Particularly, EL structure 02 in the above-mentioned quantum dot light emitting diodde desplay device that the utility model embodiment provides, shown in Fig. 1 a and Fig. 1 b, specifically can comprise: be successively set on first electrode 021 on the underlay substrate 01, luminescent layer 022 and second electrode 023.
In the specific implementation, drive circuit 04 operated by rotary motion that is connected with each first electrode 021 is between first electrode 021 and underlay substrate 01, drive circuit 04 specifically can comprise following rete as shown in Figure 2: grid 011, gate insulator 012, active layer 013, ohmic contact layer 014, source-drain electrode 015 and insulating barrier 016 that elder generation adopts technologies such as exposure, development, etching to form at underlay substrate successively by technology film forming such as deposition, sputters again.Certainly, the concrete structure of drive circuit 04 also can comprise other retes or not comprise ohmic contact layer etc., for the distortion of these structures, not do restriction at this.
In the specific implementation, EL structure 02 comprises at least: be successively set on first electrode 021 on the underlay substrate 01, luminescent layer 022 and second electrode 023.Wherein first electrode 021 is generally anode, can be ito thin film (Indium Tin Oxides, tin indium oxide), be generally transparency electrode, second electrode is generally negative electrode, can be metal level, according to the difference of EL structure 02 light direction, metal level can be for translucent or opaque, certainly, in the distortion of some other structure, first electrode can be negative electrode, and second electrode can be anode, and namely negative electrode is positioned at the top of drive circuit on the underlay substrate, anode is positioned at the top of negative electrode, and these the utility model are not all done restriction.Except above-mentioned three layers, EL structure 02 can also comprise other layer, as electron injecting layer, electron transfer layer, hole injection layer, hole transmission layer and hole blocking layer etc., and the distortion of these structures, the utility model is not done restriction yet.
In the specific implementation, as shown in Figure 1a, EL structure 02 can be top emission type, and namely a side at second electrode, 023 place is the bright dipping side of EL structure 02, and monochromatic quantum dot layer 03 is positioned on second electrode 023.In the EL structure of top emission type, owing to need light that luminescent layer 022 sends from second electrode 023 place, the one side outgoing, therefore, second electrode 023 be generally can printing opacity transparent conductive material, ITO for example, first electrode 021 is generally can catoptrical opaque metal.And when adopting top emission type, underlay substrate 01 can be made by opaque metal, also can be made by glass or flexible material.Drive circuit 04 is regulated the voltage that is input to each first electrode 021, thereby regulate luminescent layer 022 from the luminous intensity of second electrode, 023 outgoing, to control the luminous efficiency of each monochromatic quantum dot layer 03, by the variation realization full color demonstration of the monochromatic quantum dot layer 03 luminous power of difference.

The display device of top emission type is with respect to the bottom-emission type, because drive circuit 04 operated by rotary motion is between first electrode, 021 underlay substrate 01, the bright dipping side of top emission type does not have stopping of light shield layer (namely blocking the light blocking layer of drive circuit 04 part), with respect to the bottom-emission type, pixel aperture ratio is higher, be conducive to increase the light transmittance of display device, and can reduce the power consumption of display device.
Further, shown in Fig. 1 a and Fig. 1 b, can separate by black matrix 05 between the monochromatic quantum dot layer 03 at each sub-pix transmission region, avoid bad colour contamination, the material of black matrix 05 is generally polymer or the resin that contains carbon black.
In the specific implementation, the luminescent layer 022 in EL structure can be the material of emission blue light, for example can electroexcitation sends the GaN inorganic material of blue light, also can be organic material.When selecting for use the EL structure that can send blue light to excite each monochromatic quantum dot layer 03, preferably, shown in Fig. 1 a and Fig. 1 b, can also directly utilize blue light as one of primary colors of forming pixel cell, even each pixel cell all has the sub-pix unit that shows N color, wherein the sub-pix unit of N-1 color is respectively arranged with monochromatic quantum dot layer, 1 sub-pix unit does not arrange monochromatic quantum dot layer, directly as the primary colors of this sub-pix unit, N is the positive integer more than or equal to 2 to the blue light that EL structure is sent.When N equaled 2, the Show Color of forming two sub-pix unit of a pixel cell can be respectively orange and blue.For example: form a pixel cell by blue, red and green 3 kinds of primary colors, one of them place, sub-pix unit does not arrange monochromatic quantum dot layer, be via structure, the blue light that EL structure is sent is without the direct outgoing of monochromatic quantum dot layer, and place, other 2 sub-pix unit is provided with the monochromatic quantum dot layer that glows and the monochromatic quantum dot layer of green light respectively.
In the specific implementation, also can select for use the material that can send ultraviolet light as the material of luminescent layer in the EL structure, this material can be inorganic material, also can be organic material, does not do restriction at this.When selecting for use the EL structure that can send ultraviolet light to excite each monochromatic quantum dot layer 03, shown in Fig. 1 c, a plurality of sub-pixs unit of each pixel cell need be provided with monochromatic quantum dot layer 03.
In the specific implementation, can form a pixel cell by 3 looks or the primary colors more than 3 looks, not do restriction at this.When the primary colors more than adopting 3 looks is formed a pixel cell, with respect to formed a pixel cell by traditional red green blue tricolor, can improve the colour gamut of display device, strengthen color saturation, improve the display quality of display device.
And each monochromatic quantum dot layer of forming a pixel cell shows to realize full color being subjected to can sending monochromatic light such as ruddiness, green glow, gold-tinted, orange light or blue or green light after the optical excitation that EL structure sends.Particularly, the material of monochromatic quantum dot layer can be selected CdS, CdSe, CdTe, ZnO, ZnSe, ZnTe and the GaAs of III-V family, GaP, GaAs, GaSb, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, InAs, InP, InSb, AlAs, the materials such as AlP, AlSb of II-VI family for use.Particle diameter by the control quantum dot is controlled the luminous wave band of quantum dot, for example is example with ZnS, and the quantum dot size of red-emitting is mainly at 9~10nm, emission gold-tinted quantum dot size 8nm, and the quantum dot size of transmitting green light is at 7nm.
And, because the particle diameter of quantum dot is in nanometer scale, with light wave at the same order of magnitude, adopt quanta point material as photochromic transition material, the light that the quantum dot particle can the scattering luminescent layer sends, can improve the light transmittance of photochromic conversion with respect to the inorganic doping system material, improve the luminous efficiency of display device.
Particularly, shown in Fig. 3 a and Fig. 3 b, be example with the top emission type, establish luminescent layer 022, second electrode 023, conventional inorganic doping system material layer 06 and the refractive index of monochromatic quantum dot layer 03 as photochromic conversion is identical, be n1, this refractive index n 1 common refractive index n 0 greater than air.When light is propagated to optically thinner medium by optically denser medium, when incidence angle reaches a certain critical angle, will not have refracted ray and send, total reflection phenomenon takes place this moment.If refractive index is the luminescent layer 022 of n1, second electrode 023, the critical angle of inorganic doping system material layer 06 and monochromatic quantum dot layer 03 is i2, incidence angle is three light 1 of i1<i2<i3,2 and 3, shown in Fig. 3 a, in by the display device of inorganic doping material layer 06 as photochromic transition material, because the particle of inorganic doping system material is bigger, do not have scattering process, have only light 1 transmissive to go out display device, total reflection phenomenon takes place in light 2 and 3, can not transmit display device, make that employing inorganic doping material layer 06 is on the low side as the display device light transmission rate of photochromic conversion.Incidence angle is three light 1,2 and 3 of i1<i2<i3, shown in Fig. 3 b, in by the display device of monochromatic quantum dot layer 03 as photochromic conversion, because quanta point material has scattering process, light 1,2 and 3 can both transmit display device, has improved the light transmission rate of display device.
Further, in order to increase the luminous colorimetric purity of each pixel cell in the display device, in display device, as shown in Figure 4, can also comprise: the bright dipping side that is arranged at each sub-pix unit, and the chromatic filter layer 07 of corresponding each sub-pix cell colors, chromatic filter layer 07 can filter the veiling glare of color except the monochromatic light of sub-pix unit Show Color, improves the colorimetric purity of each sub-pix unit.
