Description

  The present invention relates to a wiring layout suitable for an electro-optical device including an electro-optical element.

  The organic EL element is a current-driven self-luminous element, which eliminates the need for a backlight and has the advantages of low power consumption, high viewing angle, and high contrast ratio, and is expected in the development of flat panel displays. ing. An organic EL element is an electro-optical element having a light emitting layer interposed between an anode and a cathode. By supplying a forward bias current between both electrodes, holes injected from the anode and the cathode are injected. Self-emission occurs due to recombination energy when electrons recombine. For this reason, in order to make the organic EL element emit light, it is necessary to supply power from an external circuit.

  In a conventional active matrix drive display panel for color display, for example, M power lines and data lines are laid in the column direction of a pixel matrix arranged in a matrix of N rows and M columns in a pixel region. On the other hand, N selection lines are laid in the row direction of the matrix. In such a wiring layout, when attention is paid to a specific pixel, for example, a data line is laid between the pixel adjacent to the left with respect to the specific pixel, and between the pixel adjacent to the right. A power line is laid. That is, when attention is paid to a line in the column direction laid between adjacent pixels, a single data line and a single power supply line are laid out as a set on the line. In the above configuration, at the intersection of the scanning line and the data line, a switching transistor, a storage capacitor, a driving transistor, and an organic EL element that emits light in RGB three primary colors are arranged, and these elements constitute a pixel. .

  However, since the material of the light emitting layer is different for each of the three primary colors of RGB, the power consumption of the organic EL elements of the respective colors is greatly different. When power lines are laid out with the above wiring layout, the pixel pitch must be selected according to the maximum width. However, the display manufacturing process requires the pixel pitch to be set at equal intervals, so the aperture ratio is sacrificed. The pixel layout must be determined. On the other hand, when the aperture ratio is reduced, it is necessary to increase the amount of current supplied to the organic EL element in order to obtain a predetermined luminance. As a result, the width of the power supply line must be further increased, For this reason, it is necessary to further reduce the aperture ratio.

  As described above, in the conventional wiring layout, the width of the power supply line and the aperture ratio of the pixel are in a trade-off relationship, and the width of the power supply line suitable for each color is secured under the condition that the pixel pitch is equal. It was difficult to ensure a large aperture ratio.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to propose a wiring technique for a power supply line that can increase the aperture ratio of the pixels while setting the pixel arrangement pitch at equal intervals.

Each pixel 10 is formed with an organic EL element that emits light in RGB three primary colors. A cathode 14 as a common electrode is formed on the entire surface of the display region 11 and is connected to an external circuit via a cathode extraction electrode 15.

  The organic EL display panel 100 shown in the figure is of a so-called top emission structure that emits light from the substrate 16 side, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a so-called bottom emission structure that emits light from a transparent cathode. May be the type.

To do.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a wiring layout in the pixel region. In the figure, for the sake of simplicity, a wiring layout for six pixels arranged in two rows and three columns is shown. In the figure, R, G, and B mean pixels 10 that emit light in red, green, and blue, respectively, and RGB pixel groups are arranged in the column direction. V _dd-R is a red pixel power line, V _dd-G is a green pixel power line, V _dd-B is a blue pixel power line, and 17 is a pixel electrode (anode) of an organic EL element. is there. Detailed descriptions of the above-described other symbols are omitted. Reference numeral 31 denotes a line-shaped wiring formation region formed between the (m−1) column pixel group and the m column pixel group. The line formation region 31 has a length substantially the same as the pixel arrangement length in the column direction. Extends in the direction. Similarly, 32 is between pixel groups of m columns and (m + 1) columns, 33 is between pixel groups of (m + 1) columns and (m + 2) columns, and 34 is a pixel group of (m + 2) columns and (m + 3) columns. This is a wiring formation region formed between them. For convenience of explanation, the pixel group in the (m−1) column and the pixel group in the (m + 3) column are not shown. In the present embodiment, in order to set the widths of the wiring formation regions 31 to 34 as uniform as possible, the total of two or more widths laid out in these wiring formation regions is made equal. Although the width of the power supply line V _dd varies depending on the material of the light emitting layer of the organic EL element, it is assumed here that the width of the power supply line increases in the order of green, red, and blue for convenience of explanation. That is, it is assumed that the width of V _dd-G > the width of V _dd-R > the width of V _dd-B .

Under the above assumption, in order to make the widths of the wiring formation regions 31 to 34 as uniform as possible, a combination is selected so that the total value of the widths of the power supply line V _dd and the data line I _dat is substantially equal. For example, the total value of the widths of V _dd-G having the maximum width and V _dd-B having the minimum width, the total value of the widths of V _dd-R having the intermediate width and the data line I _dat , and the data line I _{dat Assuming that} the total value of the two widths is substantially equal to each other, the combination of the power supply line V _dd and the data line I _dat is laid out on each of the wiring formation regions 31 to 34. In the example shown in the figure, V _dd-G having the maximum width and V _dd-B having the minimum width are paired and laid out on the wiring formation region 33, and V _dd-R having the intermediate width and data are laid out. A set of lines I _dat is laid out on the wiring formation regions 31 and 34, and two data lines I _dat are set as a set on the wiring formation region 32. However, for the wiring formation region 31, only the power supply line V _dd-R is illustrated, and for the wiring formation region 34, only the data line I _dat is illustrated. On the other hand, one scanning line V _sel is laid out for each line-shaped wiring formation region having a length approximately equal to the pixel arrangement length of the pixel group between the pixel groups arranged in the row direction. Yes. The wiring layout shown in the figure shows one unit of a wiring pattern that repeats periodically, and the wiring layouts in the arbitrarily selected RGB pixels 10 are all set to the pattern shown in the figure. For this reason, in the present embodiment, a specific wiring formation region among a plurality of wiring formation regions is virtually assumed, assuming a layout diagram that prescribes the layout of the wiring formation regions formed along the pixel column direction. When the layout diagram is virtually folded around the wiring formation area, the wiring formation areas having the same kind of wiring combination overlap each other.

  According to the present embodiment, since the same type of power supply lines extending in the column direction of the pixel matrix are formed at an arrangement pitch that is substantially equidistant in the row direction, the pixel pitch can be set at equidistant intervals. The degree of freedom of design can be increased in a device with different current consumption for each color, such as an organic EL display. In particular, in order to form a light emitting layer using an ink jet method, it is desirable that the pixel pitch is equal, so that there is a great merit in the manufacturing process. Further, since the optimum power line width can be selected for each color, it is possible to further reduce power consumption while ensuring an optimum color balance while maintaining a high aperture ratio.

However, the example shown above is an example and is not limited to the example described above. For example, since there are a total of three combinations of selecting any two power supply wirings among the three RGB power supply lines _Vdd , there are a total of three wiring layout patterns according to the present embodiment. In this embodiment, one scanning line V _sel is laid out in the row forming region in the row direction, and three power supply wirings V _dd and three data are arranged in the column forming wiring forming regions 31, 32, and 33. Although a configuration in which any two combinations are selected from the line I _dat and shown is shown, the present invention is not limited to this. Various modifications will be described below.

Embodiment 2 of the Invention
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a wiring layout in the second embodiment of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, a layout diagram that prescribes the layout of the wiring formation regions formed along the row direction of the pixels is virtually assumed and attention is paid to a specific wiring formation region among the plurality of wiring formation regions. When the layout diagram is virtually folded around the wiring formation region, the wiring formation regions having the same type of wiring combination are overlapped with each other. (N-1) In the wiring formation region 41 between a pixel group (not shown) arranged in the row direction of the n-th row and a pixel group arranged in the row direction of the n-th row, three power supply lines V _dd-G , A set of V _dd-R and V _dd-B is laid out in the row direction, and includes a pixel group arranged in the row direction of the nth row and a pixel group arranged in the row direction of the (n + 1) th row. A pair of two scanning lines _Vsel are laid out in the row direction in the wiring formation region 42 therebetween. The basic pattern of the wiring layout in the row direction is laid out as a set of three power lines V _dd-G , V _dd-R and V _dd-B and two scanning lines V _sel respectively. It is configured to periodically and repeatedly lay out. Accordingly, the wiring layout in the wiring formation region 43 between the pixel group arranged in the row direction of the (n + 1) th row and the pixel group arranged in the row direction of the (n + 2) th row is the same as the wiring layout in the wiring formation region 41. It is.

On the other hand, in the wiring formation region between the pixel groups arranged in the column direction, one power line _Vdd and one data line _Idat are laid out in the column direction as a set. In the example shown in the figure, the power supply line V _{dd− is connected} to the wiring formation region 51 between the R pixel group arranged in the m-th column direction and the G pixel group arranged in the (m + 1) -th column direction. _R and the data line I _dat are laid out as a set. Similarly, in the wiring formation region between the G pixel group arranged in the column direction of the (m + 1) th column and the B pixel group (not shown) arranged in the column direction of the (m + 2) column, a power supply line Although V _dd-G and data line I _dat are laid out as a set, only the power supply line V _dd-G is shown for convenience of explanation. The power supply lines V _dd-R laid out in the row direction and the column direction are laid in different layers, and are conducted through contact holes h1 opened in the interlayer insulating film. Similarly, the power supply line V _dd-G is conductive through the contact hole h2.

According to the present embodiment, the same kind of power supply lines extending in the row direction of the pixel matrix are formed at an arrangement pitch that is substantially equidistant from the column direction, so that the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Since the power supply lines V _dd-G , V _dd-R and V _dd-B are laid out in the pixel direction in the row direction and the column direction, the power supply lines V _dd-G , V _dd-R and V The wiring resistance of _dd-B can be reduced, and current can be sufficiently supplied to the organic EL element. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of uneven brightness due to insufficient current supply to only a specific power supply line, and to reduce the occurrence of crosstalk. In particular, a large screen display is particularly effective because it is necessary to supply a sufficient current uniformly in the screen.

Embodiment 3 of the Invention
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a wiring layout in the third embodiment of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, a specific wiring formation region among a plurality of wiring formation regions is virtually assumed, assuming a layout diagram that prescribes the layout of the wiring formation regions formed along the row direction and the column direction of pixels. When the layout diagram is virtually folded around the wiring formation region, the wiring formation regions having the same kind of wiring combination are overlapped with each other. (N-1) In the wiring formation region 61 between a pixel group (not shown) arranged in the row direction of the (n-1) th row and a pixel group arranged in the row direction of the nth row, three power supply lines V _dd-G , A set of V _dd-R and V _dd-B is laid out in the row direction, and includes a pixel group arranged in the row direction of the nth row and a pixel group arranged in the row direction of the (n + 1) th row. A pair of two scanning lines _Vsel are laid out in the row direction in the wiring formation region 62 between them. The basic pattern of the wiring layout in the row direction is laid out as a set of three power lines V _dd-G , V _dd-R and V _dd-B and two scanning lines V _sel respectively. It is configured to periodically and repeatedly lay out. Therefore, the wiring layout in the wiring formation region 63 between the pixel group arranged in the row direction of the (n + 1) th row and the pixel group arranged in the row direction of the (n + 2) th row is the same as the wiring layout in the wiring formation region 61. It is.

On the other hand, two power lines V _dd-G , V _dd-R and V _dd-B are selected from the three data lines I _dat between the pixel groups arranged in the column direction. They are laid out in three combinations. In the example shown in the figure, a wiring formation region between a B pixel group (not shown) arranged in the column direction of the (m−1) th column and an R pixel group arranged in the column direction of the mth column. 71, a power supply line V _dd-G (not shown) and a data line I _dat are laid out as a set. The R pixel group arranged in the m-th column direction and the (m + 1) -th column are arranged. Two power supply lines V _dd-G and V _dd-R are laid out as a set in the wiring formation region 72 with the G pixel group arranged in the column direction. Further, two data lines I _dat are formed in the wiring formation region 73 between the G pixel group arranged in the column direction of the (m + 1) th column and the B pixel group arranged in the column direction of the (m + 2) column. A set of layouts between the B pixel group arranged in the column direction of the (m + 2) th column and the R pixel group (not shown) arranged in the column direction of the (m + 3) th column. In the wiring formation region 74, the power supply line V _dd-G and the data line I _dat are laid out as a set.

The power supply lines V _dd-R laid out in the row direction and the column direction are laid in different layers, and are conducted through contact holes h1 opened in the interlayer insulating film. Similarly, the power supply line V _dd-G and the power supply line V _dd-B are laid in different layers in the row direction and the column direction, and are electrically connected through the contact holes h2 and h3, respectively. By forming a plurality of these contact holes h1, h2, and h3, there is an advantage in the measures against disconnection of the wiring, and further, the resistance of the wiring can be reduced.

According to this embodiment, the same kind of power supply lines extending in the row direction of the pixel matrix are formed at an arrangement pitch of substantially equal intervals in the column direction, and the same kind of power supply extending in the column direction of the pixel matrix. Since the lines are formed at an arrangement pitch of substantially equal intervals in the row direction, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained, and the power supply lines V _dd-G , V _dd-R, and V _dd-B are provided in the pixel region. Since the power supply lines V _dd-G , V _dd-R, and V _dd-B can be reduced in resistance, the current is supplied to the organic EL elements. Can be done sufficiently. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of uneven brightness due to insufficient current supply to only a specific power supply line, and to reduce the occurrence of crosstalk. In particular, a large screen display is particularly effective because it is necessary to supply a sufficient current uniformly in the screen.
