Description
本發明是有關於一種基板,且特別是有關於一種畫素陣列基板。The present invention relates to a substrate, and more particularly, to a pixel array substrate.
近來環保意識抬頭,具有低消耗功率、空間利用效率佳、無輻射、高畫質等特性的平面顯示器已成為市場主流。常見的平面顯示器包括液晶顯示器、電漿顯示器、有機電致發光顯示器等。以有機電致發光顯示器為例,其為一種自發光型的顯示器,無須使用背光模組,故可省去背光模組的製造成本及背光模組本身所消耗的能源。此外,由於有機電致發光顯示器無視角問題,且具有全彩化、高應答速度等特性,故有機電致發光顯示器為一種性能及環保兼具的平面顯示器。Recently, environmental awareness has risen, and flat-panel displays with low power consumption, good space utilization efficiency, no radiation, and high image quality have become mainstream in the market. Common flat displays include liquid crystal displays, plasma displays, organic electroluminescence displays, and the like. Taking an organic electroluminescence display as an example, it is a self-luminous display, which does not require a backlight module, so the manufacturing cost of the backlight module and the energy consumed by the backlight module itself can be saved. In addition, since the organic electroluminescence display has no viewing angle problem, and has the characteristics of full color and high response speed, the organic electroluminescence display is a flat display with both performance and environmental protection.
有機電致發光顯示器包括畫素陣列基板。一般來說,畫素陣列基板的製程包括將畫素電極(或稱陽極)、畫素定義層、有機電致發光圖案、對向電極(或稱陰極)等膜層製作於基板之上。有機電致發光圖案的製作多採用具有開孔的遮罩搭配蒸鍍的方式進行,其中開孔的尺寸及位置會決定有機電致發光圖案的分佈範圍。然而,遮罩之開孔與具有畫素定義層之基板對位不佳時,部分的有機電致發光圖案容易形成在錯誤之畫素定義層的畫素開口內,進而造成混色問題。The organic electroluminescent display includes a pixel array substrate. Generally, the manufacturing process of a pixel array substrate includes forming a film layer such as a pixel electrode (or anode), a pixel definition layer, an organic electroluminescence pattern, and a counter electrode (or cathode) on the substrate. The production of organic electroluminescence patterns is mostly performed by using a mask with openings and evaporation. The size and position of the openings will determine the distribution range of the organic electroluminescence pattern. However, when the openings of the mask and the substrate with the pixel definition layer are not aligned well, part of the organic electroluminescence pattern is easily formed in the pixel openings of the wrong pixel definition layer, thereby causing color mixing problems.
