以下將本發明的理想實施形態參照圖面說明之。 如第1圖所示,基板1上的中央部分是作爲顯示部。透 明基板1的外圍部分中’向圖面的上側是構成爲要對資料 線1 1 2輸出圖像信號之資料側驅動電路3,在向圖面的左側 是構成爲要對掃描線1 11輸出掃描信號之掃描側驅動電路 4。這些驅動電路3、4是由 N型薄膜電晶體和P型薄膜 電晶體構成爲互補型薄膜電晶體,該互補型薄膜電晶體中, 構成有移位寄存器電路,電平移位電路,及類比開關電路 等。 在透明基板1上設有多數的掃描線1 1 1及和該掃描線1 1 1 的延伸方向成交叉方向設置之多數資料線1 1 2,由這些資料 線1 1 2和掃描線1 1 1的交叉,而構成矩陣狀之圖素7。 在這些圖素7中,構成有經由掃描線1 1 1供應掃描信號 給其閘極2 1 (第1閘極)之第1薄膜電晶體(以下稱開關薄 膜電晶體)1 2 1。該開關薄膜電晶體1 2 1的源、漏極區域的 一端是在電氣上連接於資料線1 1 2,源、漏極區域的另一端 是在電氣上連接於電位保持電極113。又, 共用線1 1 4是與掃描線1 1 1並排配置,該共用線丨1 4和電 位保持電極113之間形成有保持電容123。共用線114是被 200307894 保持在定電位。因而,依據掃描信號所選擇的開關薄膜電 晶體1 2 1成爲導通狀態時,從資料線1 1 2來的圖像信號會 經由開關薄膜電晶體1 2 1而儲存於保持電容1 2 3 ° 電位保持電極1 1 3在電氣上連接於第2薄膜電晶體(以下 稱電流薄膜電晶體)122的閘極,該電流薄膜電晶體122的 源、漏極區域的一端是在電氣上連接於共用線1 1 4,其源、 漏極區域的另一端是在電氣上連接於發光元件1 3 1的一電 極1 1 5。電流薄膜電晶體1 22成爲導通狀態時,共用線1 1 4 的電流會經由電流薄膜電晶體1 22流通於有機EL顯示元件 等的發光元件1 3 1,使該發光元件1 3 1發光。又,在本構成 中,保持電容123的一電極是連接於共用線114,但也可不 連接於共用線1 1 4,而另設電容線,將其連接於電容線之構 成者。又,也可將保持電容的一電極連接於相鄰的閘極線 之構成者。 實施例1 第2圖是本發明實施例1的具薄膜電晶體之有機EL顯 示元件之等價電路圖,第3圖是本發明實施例1的具薄 膜電晶體之有機EL顯示元件之驅動電壓圖,第4圖是本 發明實施例1的電流薄膜電晶體之電流電壓特性圖,第5圖 是本發明實施例1的有機EL顯示元件之電流電壓特性圖。 在第2圖中,1 1 1是掃描線,1 1 2是資料線、丨丨3是保持 電極、1 1 4是共用線、1丨5是以鋁形成的圖素電極、丨丨6是 以氧化銦/氧化錫(以下稱IT0 )形成的對置電極,1 2丨是開 200307894 關薄膜電晶體,1 2 2是n型通道電流薄膜電晶體、1 2 3是 保持電容、1 3 1是從供電線1 1 6向圖素電極1 1 5所流通的電 流而發光之有機EL顯示元件,(以下稱正置有機El顯示元 件),1 4 1是有機EL顯示元件的電流方向。 在第3圖中,211是掃描電位,212是信號電位,213是 保持電位,2 1 4是共用電位,2 1 5是圖素電位,2 1 6是對置 電位。又,在第3圖中是爲了說明各電壓關係,而只記載 各電位的一部分者。掃描線1 1 1的電位是掃描電位2 1 1,資 料線1 1 2的電位是信號電位2 1 2,保持電極1 1 3的電位是保 持電位2 1 3,共用線1 1 4的電位是共同電位2 1 4,以鋁形成 的圖素電極1 1 5的電位是圖素電位2 1 5,以I Τ0形成的對置 電極1 1 6的電位是對置電位2 1 6。又,第3圖是將各信號 電位以模式的記載其一部分者。 在第4圖中,31是漏極電壓4V時,η型通道電流薄膜 電晶體122的電流電壓特性、32是漏極電極8V時,η型 通道電流薄膜電晶體1 22的電流電壓特性。由圖可知無論 是在那一漏極電壓,閘極電壓爲低電壓時,η型通道電流 薄膜電晶體1 22是成爲啓斷狀態,流通小漏極電流,源、 漏極間電阻成爲高電阻,而閘極電壓爲高電壓時,η型通 道電流薄膜電晶體1 22成爲導通狀態,流通大的漏極電流, 源、漏極間電阻會成爲低電阻。 在第5圖中,4是正置有機EL顯示元件1 3 1的電流電 壓特性。在此,設電壓是表示相對於圖素電位2 1 5的對置 200307894 電壓2 1 6,電流是表示從對置電極1 1 6流向於圖素電極1 1 5 的電流者。正置有機EL顯示元件1 3 1在某一臨界値電壓以 下時,成爲啓斷狀態,電阻高,不流通電流,而不發光。 在臨界値電壓以上時成爲導通狀態,電阻低、流通電流, 而發光。在此,臨界値電壓大約是2V。 以下,將具有本實施例的薄膜電晶體之有機EL顯示元件 之動作情形,參照第2、第3、第4及第5圖說明之。 開關薄膜電晶體1 2 1是依據掃描線1 1 1的電位,以控制 資料線1 1 2與保持電極1 1 3之間的導通。即,由掃描電位2 1 1 控制信號電位2 1 2與保持電位2 1 3的導通。又,此中的開 關薄膜電晶體1 2 1是用η型通道薄膜電晶體者,但也可用 Ρ型通道電晶體者。 在於使圖素成爲顯示狀態的期間22 1,信號電位2 1 2是 成爲高電位,而在保持電位1 1 3上保持其高電位。在於使 圖素成爲非顯示狀態的期間222,信號電位212是成爲低電 位,而在保持電位2 1 3上保持其低電位。 η型通道電流薄膜電晶體1 22是具如第4圖的特性,因 而,可依據保持電壓1 1 3的電位,控制共用線1 1 4與圖素 電極1 1 5之間的導通,即由保持電位2 1 3控制共用電位2 1 4 與圖素電位2 1 5的導通。在於使圖素成爲顯示狀態的期間 22 1,保持電壓2 1 3是在於高電位,因而,共用線1 1 4與圖 素電極1 1 5之間被導通,而使圖素成爲非顯示的期間222, 保持電位2 1 3是在於低電位,因而共用線1 1 4與圖素電極丨i 5 200307894 之間被切斷。 有機EL顯示元件1 3 1是具如第5圖之特性,在於使圖 素成爲顯示狀態的期間2 2 1,在圖素電極1 1 5與對置電極1 1 6 之間會流通電流,有機EL顯示元件1 3 1會發光,而在於圖 素成爲非顯示的期間2 2 2,則電流不流通,不發光。 第6 ( a )圖是本發明實施例的薄膜電晶體有機El顯示元 件(1圖素)之斷面圖。第6(b)圖是本發明實施例的薄膜電 晶體有機EL顯示元件(1圖素)之平面圖。第6(a)圖的斷 面A-A’是對應於第6(b)圖的斷面A-A’。 在第6圖中,132是孔穴注入層,133是有機EL層,151 是抗蝕劑。 又,在本例中,有關於開關薄膜電晶體1 21及η型通道 電流薄膜電晶體1 22的構造及加工是使用薄膜電晶體液晶 顯示元件中用的,低溫多結晶薄膜電晶體的構造及其加工 步驟,即,頂層閘極構造及最高溫度6 0 0度以下之加工者。 但也可使用其他的構造及加工方法者。 由鋁所形成的圖素電極1 1 5及I Τ0形成的對置電極1 1 6, 孔穴注入層1 3 2,及有機EL顯示元件1 3 1,形成爲正置有 機EL顯示元件131。在該正置有機EL顯示元件131中,可 使有機EL顯示元件的電流方向1 4 1,從I T0所形成的對置 電極1 1 6向鋁所形成的圖素電極1 1 5的方向。又,有關於 有機EL顯示元件,也可以不用在此所用的構造,只要是可 以使有機EL顯示元件的電流方向,從對置電極向圖素電極 -11 - 200307894 的方向者,其他的構造亦可。 又’在此是以,孔穴注入層132及有機EL層133是用抗 倉虫劑1 5 1作爲各圖素間的分離構造之噴墨印刷法所形成, 以I T0所形成的對置電極1丨6是用濺射法所形成,但用其 他的方法亦可。 在本實施例中,共用電位2 1 4是比對置電位2 1 6爲低電 位。且’電流薄膜電晶體是n型通道電流薄膜電晶體1 22 者。 在使圖素成爲顯示狀態的期間22 1中,η型通道電流薄 膜電晶體1 2 2是成爲導通狀態。流通於正置有機EL顯示元 件1 3 1的電流,即,η型通道電流薄膜電晶體i 22的導通 電流是如第3圖所示的,依靠閘極電壓。在此,閘極電壓 是保持電位2 1 3的與共用電位2 1 4和圖素電位2 1 5中的較 低電位一方之電位差。依據本實施例時,共用電位2 1 4會 比圖素電位2 1 5爲低電位,因而,閘極電壓是保持電位2 1 3 與共用電位2 1 4之電位差。此電位差可取得很大,因而可 獲足夠大的導通電流。又,η型通道電流薄膜電晶體122 的導通電流雖也依靠於漏極電壓,但在此的結論,仍不會 變 〇 又,相反的,要獲得所需之導通電流,也可使保持電位 2 1 3爲更低電位,而可減低信號電位2 1 2的振幅,進而可減 低掃描電位2 1 1的振幅。即在開關薄膜電晶體1 2 1或η型 通道電流薄膜電晶體122中,在不引起圖像品質的劣化、 200307894 或動作的異常,以及可動作頻率的降低之下’可實現減低 其驅動電壓。 又,在本實施例中,使圖素成爲顯示狀態的信號電位2 1 2 是比對置電位2 1 6爲低電位者。 如上述,在使圖素成爲顯示狀態的期間221中、η型通 道電流薄膜電晶體122的導通電流是依靠保持電位213與 共用電位2 1 4的電位差,而並不直接依靠於保持電位2 1 3 與對置電位216的電位差。因此,在η型通道電流薄膜電 晶體1 22中,仍然確保足夠大的導通電流之下,可使保持電 壓2 1 3,即可將使圖素成爲顯示狀態的信號電位2 1 2設爲比 對置電位2 1 6爲低電位。進而可減低信號電壓2 1 2的振幅 或掃描電位2 1 1的振幅。即,在開關薄膜電晶體1 2 1或η型 通道電流薄膜電晶體1 22中,在不引起圖像品質的劣化或 動作的異常,以及可動作頻率的降低之下,可實現減低其 驅動電壓。 又’在本實施例中,使圖素成爲非顯示狀態時的信號電 壓212是比共用電位214爲高電位者。 在使圖素成爲非顯示狀態的期間222中,將信號電位2 1 1 設爲比共用電位2 1 4稍微高電位時,η型通道電流薄膜電 晶體1 22並不完全成爲啓斷狀態。但,η型通道電流薄膜 1 22的源、漏極間的電阻係如第3圖所示,成爲相當的高 電:阻^因此,在共用電位2 1 4與對置電位2丨6間,由η型 通道電流薄膜電晶體1 22的電阻値與正置有機EL顯示元件 -13- 200307894 1 3 1的電阻値之分攤,所決定出之圖素電位2 1 5,會成爲接 近於對置電位2 1 6的電位。 加上於正置有機EL顯示元件1 3 1的電壓雖然是圖素電位 2 1 5與對置電位2 1 6的電位差,但,如第5圖所示,在某 一臨界値電壓以下時是成爲啓斷狀態,不流通電流,而不 發光。即利用正置有機EL顯示元件1 3 1的臨界値電壓,而 使信號電位2 1 2比共用電位2 1 4稍微高電位時,η型通道 電流薄膜電晶體1 22雖然不能成爲完全啓斷狀態,但仍可 使正置有機EL顯示元件131不發光。 在此,將使圖素成爲顯示狀態的信號電位2〗2設爲比共 用電位2 1 4爲高電位,由此而可減低信號電位2 1 2的振幅, 進而減低掃描電位2 1 1的振幅。即在開關薄膜電晶體1 2 1 或η型通道電流薄膜電晶體122中,在不引起圖素品質的 劣化,或動作的異常,以及可動作頻率的降低之下,可實 現減低其驅動電壓。 又,本實施例的具薄膜電晶體之有機EL顯示元件之動 作,並非如上述之單純,而是在更複雜的電壓及電流之關 係下動作,但在近似上,及定性上,上述說明是可成立。 實施例2 第7圖是本發明實施例2的具薄膜電晶體之有機EL顯 示元件之等價電路圖,第8圖是本發明實施例2的具薄 膜電晶體之有機EL顯示元件之驅動電壓圖,第9圖是本 發明實施例2的電流薄膜電晶體之電流電壓特性圖,第1 〇 200307894 圖是本發明實施例2的有機EL顯示元件之電流電壓特性 圖。 在第7圖中,6 1 5是以I T0形成的圖素電極,6 1 6是以 鋁形成的對置電極,622是p型通道電流薄膜電晶體,631 是依據從圖素電極6 1 5向供電線6 1 6所流通的電流而發光 之有機EL顯示元件(以下稱倒置有機EL顯示元件)。64是 倒置有機EL顯示元件631的電流方向,而其方向是與第2圖 相反。其他的是和上述實施例1及第2圖相同。 φ 在第8圖中,各電位的水平是和第3圖不同,其他的 是和第3圖相同。 在第9圖中,81是漏極電壓4V時的p型通道電流薄膜 電晶體622之電流電壓特性,82是漏極電壓8V時的p型 通道電流薄膜電晶體622之電流電壓特性。 在第10圖中,9是倒置有機EL顯示元件631之電流電 壓特性。 本實施例的具薄膜電晶體之有機EL顯示元件的動作是’ 鲁 由於其電流薄膜電晶體是P型通道電晶體622,因而’其 與電流薄膜電晶體相關的電位關係成爲爲倒置之外’和實 施例1相同。 第1 1 ( a )圖本發明實施例2的具薄膜電晶體之有機EL 顯示元件(1圖素)之斷面圖,第11(b)圖是本發明實施例2 的具薄膜電晶體之有機EL顯示元件(1圖素)之平面圖。第 11(a)圖的斷面A-A’是對應於第11(b)圖的斷面A-A’。 -15- 200307894 在第1 1圖,6 3 2是正孔注入層,6 3 3是有機EL層。其他 的是和第6圖相同。 由以ΙΤ0形成的圖素電極615、以鋁形成的對置電極616, 正孔注入層6 3 2、及有機EL層633,而形成爲倒置有機顯 示元件631。在該倒置有機EL顯示元件631中。有機EL顯 示元件的電流方向641是可設爲從ΙΤ0所形成的圖素電極 6 1 5向鋁所形成的對置電極6 1 6之方向。 在本實施例中,共用電位7 1 4是比對置電位7 1 6爲高電 位。且,電流薄膜電晶體是p型通道電流薄膜電晶體622 者。 又,在本實施例中,使圖素成爲顯示狀態的信號電位7 1 2 是比對置電位7 1 6爲高電位者。 又,在本實施例中,使圖素成爲非顯示狀態的信號電位 712是比共用電位714爲低電位者。 本實施例的具薄膜電晶體之有機EL顯示元件的所有效 果,也由於電流薄膜電晶體是p型通道薄膜電晶體622, 因而,除與電流薄膜電晶體相關的電位關係爲倒置之外, 都和實施例1相同。 本實施例的電流薄膜電晶體6 2 2是p型通道薄膜電晶 體。由於這種構成,可顯著的減低電流薄膜電晶體622的 經久劣化。又以P型通道的多結晶矽薄膜電晶體來構成時, 可更減低電流薄膜電晶體622的經久劣化。 第1 4圖是上述本發明實施例的具薄膜電晶體之電流驅動 •16- 200307894 型發光顯示裝置的製造步驟圖。 首先,如第1 4 ( a )圖所示,在基板1上的基板全面,形 成非晶質砂層2 0 0 0〜6 0 0埃(A ),施加雷射等的軔化,使非 晶質矽多結晶化,以形成多結晶矽層。然後,將多結晶矽 層製成圖案,以形成構成開關薄膜電晶體1 2 1的源·漏極· 通道的區域之矽薄膜421、電容1 23的第1電極423、構 成電流薄膜電晶體1 22的源•漏極•通道的區域之矽薄膜 422。其次,在矽薄膜421、422、和第1電極423上,形 @ 成構成閘極絕緣膜的絕緣膜424。接著,在第1電極423 選擇性的打入磷(P )離子,使其低電阻化。接著,如第1 4 ( b ) 圖所示,在矽薄膜421和422上,經介以閘極絕緣膜,形 成一鉅化氮(TaN )所構成的閘極1 1 1和1 1 1 ’。接著,將抗蝕 罩幕42形成在構成電流薄膜電晶體的矽層422上,以閘極 當作罩膜,自調節式的打入磷(P )離子,以在矽層42 1形成 η型的源、漏極區域。接著,如第1 4圖(c )所示,在第1矽 層421及第1電極423上,形成抗蝕罩幕42’,在矽層422 φ 上,以閘極1 1 1 ’爲罩幕,自調節式的打入硼(Β)離子,在矽 層4 2 2形成ρ型源、漏極區域。如此,以η型通道雜質 摻雜4 1 1,形成開關薄膜電晶體62 1。這時,電流薄膜電晶 體622是受抗蝕罩幕42的保護,不受到η型通道雜質摻 雜41 1。接著,以ρ型通道雜質摻雜41 2,形成電流薄膜 電晶體6 2 2。 又’圖上雖未列不’要將構成驅動開關電晶體6 2 1的驅 -17- 200307894 動電路部分之移位寄存器、取樣保持電路等的薄膜電晶體 形成在同一基板上時,也可和上述工程的同雜一程序,同 時形成。 又,電容的第2電極42 5,可和閘極1 1 1及1 1 1 ’同時以 同一材料形成,也可用其他的材料形成。 接著,如第1 4 ( d )圖所示,形成層間絕緣膜4 3後,並形 成接觸孔,然後,形成由鋁或ΙΤ0構成的電極層426、427、 428 及 429 ° 接著,形成層間絕緣膜44,並經平坦化後,形成接觸孔, 以IT045形成1 000〜2 000埃,最好是約1 600埃,使其可 連接於電流薄膜電晶體的一端電極。接著,在組合層4 6,4 7 所圍繞的區域,以噴墨方式等形成有機EL層48。形成有機 EL層48後,在有機EL層上形成6000〜8000埃的鋁/鋰作 爲對置電極49,在有機EL層48與對置電極49之間也可如 第5圖所示,設正孔注入層。 由上述的工程,可形成高性能的薄膜電晶體驅動之有機 EL顯示元件,又多結晶矽的載體移動度是比非晶質矽的格 外的大,因而可高速動作。 尤其是在本實施例中,於形成P型的電流薄膜電晶體622 和η型的開關薄膜電晶體62 1時,可將構成驅動電路的移 位寄存器、取樣保持電路等的互補型薄膜電晶體之ρ型及 η型的薄膜電晶體,用上述實施例同時形成。以這種構成 時,可在不增加製造過程之下,實現獲得減低電流薄膜電 -18- 200307894 晶體1 22的經久劣化之構成。 在上述實施例1中,電流薄膜電晶體是η型通道者, 而實施例2中’已對電流薄膜電晶體是ρ型通道的構成 有所記述,而在此將對Ρ型通道和η型通道的薄膜電晶 體之經久劣化加以檢討。 第1 2圖及第1 3圖是對於同等外加電壓條件的η型通道 及Ρ型通道薄膜電晶體,尤指多結晶薄膜電晶體之經久劣 化圖。第1 2圖的5 1 1、5 1 2是外加電壓前的在Vd (漏極電壓) = 4V、Vd=8V時之n型通道薄膜電晶體之轉移特性。又 521、522是加上Vg(閘極電壓)=0V、Vd=15V,1000秒程 度的電壓後的,在Vd = 4V、Vd=8V時之η型通道薄膜電晶 體之轉移特性。第13圖的81 1、812是外加電壓前,在Vd = 4V、 Vd= 8V時的ρ型通道薄膜電晶體之轉移特性。又821、822 是加上Vg= 0V、Vd= 1 5V、1 000秒程度的電壓後的,在 Vd = 4V、Vd = 8V時之ρ型通道薄膜電晶體之轉移特性。很 明顯的’可知ρ型通道薄膜電晶體在導通電流的減少及啓 斷電流的增加上較小。 對第1 2圖及第1 3圖所示的ρ型和η型的薄膜電晶體 之經久劣化特性之差異加以考慮,而將開關薄膜電晶體和 電流薄膜電晶體兩個中的至少一個,以ρ型通道薄膜電晶 體’尤以ρ型多結晶矽薄膜電晶體來構成,就可抑制其經 久劣化。又,不僅是電流薄膜電晶體,而開關薄膜電晶體 也以Ρ型薄膜電晶體來構成,則,可更維持顯示裝置的特 -19- 200307894 性。 又’上述實施例的發光元件是以有機EL顯示元件爲例說 明者’當然,也不只限於有機EL顯示元件,對無機EL元 件或其他的電流驅動型發光元件都可適用之。 又本發明的顯示裝置可利用於有機EL顯示元件,無機EL 顯示元件等之各種電流驅動型發光元件,和具有驅動這些 元件的薄膜電晶體等開關元件之顯示裝置上。 本發明的顯示裝置係具可降低驅動電壓、抑制經久劣化 之效果。可利用於有機EL顯示元件,無機EL元件等的各 · 種電丨凡驅動發光兀件和具驅動這些兀件的薄膜電晶體等開 關元件之顯示裝置上。 【圖式簡單說明】
