Definitions
- the present invention relates to a limiting plate unit, a vapor deposition unit, and a vapor deposition apparatus for forming a vapor deposition film having a predetermined pattern on a deposition target substrate.
- flat panel displays have been used in various products and fields, and further flat panel displays are required to have larger sizes, higher image quality, and lower power consumption.
- an organic EL display device including an organic EL element using electroluminescence (electroluminescence; hereinafter referred to as “EL”) of an organic material is an all-solid-state type, driven at a low voltage, and has a high speed response.
- EL electroluminescence
- the organic EL display device has a configuration in which a thin-film organic EL element electrically connected to a TFT is provided on a substrate made of a glass substrate provided with a TFT (thin film transistor).
- TFT thin film transistor
- organic EL elements of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) are arrayed on a substrate as sub-pixels, and TFTs are used. These organic EL elements are selectively made to emit light with a desired luminance to display an image.
- a vacuum deposition method for example, an ink jet method, a laser transfer method and the like are known.
- a vacuum deposition method is mainly used for patterning a light emitting layer.
- a deposition mask also referred to as a shadow mask in which openings of a predetermined pattern are formed is used. Then, vapor deposition particles (vapor deposition material, film forming material) from the vapor deposition source are vapor-deposited on the surface to be vapor-deposited through the opening of the vapor deposition mask, thereby forming a thin film having a predetermined pattern. At this time, vapor deposition is performed for each color of the light emitting layer (this is referred to as “separate vapor deposition”).
- the film formation substrate and the vapor deposition mask are fixed or sequentially moved to bring them into close contact with each other, and the film formation substrate and the vapor deposition mask are separated from each other and scanned while being scanned. It is broadly divided into scan vapor deposition.
- a vapor deposition mask having the same size as the deposition target substrate is used.
- the vapor deposition mask is also increased in size as the substrate is increased in size. Therefore, as the deposition target substrate becomes larger, a gap is likely to be generated between the deposition target substrate and the deposition mask due to the self-weight deflection and elongation of the deposition mask. For this reason, it is difficult to perform high-precision patterning on a large substrate, and it is difficult to achieve high definition due to the occurrence of misalignment of the deposition position and color mixing.
- a scanning vapor deposition method in which vapor deposition (scan vapor deposition) is performed while scanning using a vapor deposition mask smaller than the deposition target substrate has attracted attention.
- a belt-shaped vapor deposition mask is used, and the vapor deposition mask and the vapor deposition source are integrated to move at least one of the deposition target substrate, the vapor deposition mask, and the vapor deposition source relative to each other. Then, vapor deposition particles are deposited on the entire surface of the film formation substrate.
- a plurality of injection ports (nozzles) that are ejected (sprayed) as vapor deposition particles by heating and evaporating or sublimating a vapor deposition material to a vapor deposition source are constant in a direction perpendicular to the scanning direction. Provided at a pitch.
- the vapor deposition region (film formation region) corresponding to a certain nozzle can be placed in the vapor deposition region adjacent to the vapor deposition region.

It is disclosed. According to Patent Document 1, the deposition range is limited by the blocking wall that is a limiting plate, so that high-definition pattern deposition can be performed without spreading the deposition pattern.

- the Z axis is the normal direction of the deposition surface 201 (deposition surface) of the deposition substrate 200, and the direction in which the deposition axis perpendicular to the deposition surface 201 extends is shown.

However, it spreads at the moment when it passes through the opening 321 of the limiting plate 320. A part of the spread deposition flow enters the adjacent film formation region on the film formation substrate 200 by the adjacent nozzle 301a.
- vapor deposition particles 401 from adjacent nozzles are mixed into the normal pattern film, or abnormal film formation is formed between the normal pattern films, such as forming an abnormal pattern film that is not formed at a low rate.
- These phenomena cause abnormal light emission such as mixed color light emission, and there is a concern that display quality is greatly impaired.

It is disclosed that the assemblies are arranged so as to correspond to each other (see, for example, FIG. 27 of Patent Document 1).
- Patent Document 1 only one second blocking wall that is the second limiting plate is provided for one first blocking wall that is the first limiting plate. For this reason, the method described in Patent Document 1 cannot completely suppress the spread of the vapor deposition flow spreading on both sides of the first blocking wall. The reason for this will be described below.

The spread of the vapor deposition flow on the other end side in the X-axis direction of the plate 32 cannot be suppressed.
- the second limiting plate 42 is adjacent to the limiting plate opening 33 as shown in FIG.
- the mask opening 51 of the vapor deposition mask 50 corresponding to the position where the vapor deposition flows that have passed through, that is, both ends in the X-axis direction of the first restricting plate 32 and the vapor deposition region (adjacent film formation region) by the adjacent injection ports 11 are present. It is desirable to install in the area where the line connecting
- the first restriction plate 32 is used as shown in FIG.

- the second limiting plate 42 having a large volume as shown in FIG. 7 when the second limiting plate 42 having a large volume as shown in FIG. 7 is provided, the space volume in which the vapor deposition particles 401 are scattered is reduced and the pressure is increased. As a result, the collision / scattering probability between the vapor deposition particles 401 is increased.
- the spatial volume distribution is not changed in the Z-axis direction, and the second restricting plate 42 is raised to the vicinity of the vapor deposition mask 50, so that the vapor deposition particles 401 are in the second restriction plate 42. It is in a state of being confined in the area surrounded by. For this reason, the interparticle scattering of the vapor deposition particles 401 becomes very strong.
- the vapor deposition flow is restricted by the first restriction plate 32 and the vapor deposition flow has directivity, the vapor deposition flow is isotropic again by passing between the second restriction plates 42. Distribution.
- the film formation pattern spreads at the place where the film should be originally formed, causing pattern blur between the film formation areas, increasing the blur width of the vapor deposition film 402, color mixing in adjacent pixels, and the vapor deposition particles 401 in the adjacent nozzle area. This causes problems such as intrusion and non-uniform light emission due to non-uniform film thickness within the pixel.
- At least two second limiting plates 42 are required in the X-axis direction with respect to one first limiting plate 32.
- the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 42 are installed so as to be parallel on the same YZ plane.
- the second limiting plate 42 is paired with the first limiting plate 32, and the second limiting plate 42 is configured by at least two or more in the X-axis direction with respect to one first limiting plate 32. Paired.
- the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 42 are arranged in this way, and the second limiting plate 42 is arranged in the X-axis direction for each first limiting plate 32. At least two sheets are provided. For this reason, the spread of the vapor deposition flow spreading on both sides in the X-axis direction can be completely suppressed, and the vapor deposition flow that has spread after passing through the restriction plate opening 33 of the first restriction plate 32 is efficiently generated by the second restriction plate 42. It can capture well and can prevent abnormal film formation such as an abnormal pattern film.
- the vapor deposition flow that has spread after passing through the first restriction plate 32 is cut (captured) by the second restriction plate 42, and the state in which the spread is suppressed is maintained and the vapor deposition mask 50 is maintained.
- the film is deposited on the deposition target substrate 200 through the mask opening 51. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent abnormal film formation such as vapor deposition particles 401 from adjacent nozzles being mixed into the normal pattern film or forming an abnormal pattern film between the normal pattern films. Can do.
- the second restriction plate 42 is disposed on the first restriction plate 32 in plan view. That is, the second limiting plate 42 is arranged in a narrower range than the first limiting plate 32. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, the second restricting plate 42 does not exist directly above the restricting plate opening 33, so that only the component whose directivity is truly degraded can be efficiently obtained without reducing the deposition rate at all. Can be captured.
- FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the vapor deposition unit 1 according to the present embodiment, showing an example of a suitable arrangement of the second restriction plate 42. 8 also shows a schematic configuration of the main part of the vapor deposition unit 1 together with the deposition target substrate 200, as in FIG.
- the vicinity of the upper opening of the first limiting plate 32 (that is, the vicinity of the upper portion of the limiting plate opening 33) has a high vapor deposition density, the interparticle scattering of the vapor deposition particles 401 increases, and the vapor deposition flow tends to spread.
- the paired second limiting plates 42 provided on the same first limiting plate 32 in plan view should be provided as far apart as possible. Is preferred.
- the paired second limiting plates 42 are positioned in the vicinity of both ends in the X-axis direction of the first limiting plate 32 directly below the paired second limiting plates 42.
- the pair of second limiting plates 42 is formed at least at a position in contact with at least a part of both end portions in the X-axis direction of the first limiting plate 32 directly below the pair. As shown in FIG.
- the pair of second limiting plates 42 are formed flush with both ends in the X-axis direction of the first limiting plate 32 directly below the first limiting plate 32.
- the vapor deposition flow spreading on both ends in the X-axis direction on the plate 32 can be captured efficiently. For this reason, the spread of the vapor deposition flow to the X-axis direction both ends of the first limiting plate 32 can be more effectively suppressed.
- the end of the first limiting plate 32 in the X-axis direction (as shown in FIG. An opening edge) and an end portion in the X-axis direction of the second limiting plate 42 (more specifically, in the X-axis direction end portion side of each first limiting plate 32 in the paired second limiting plate 42).
- the second limiting plate 42 that makes a pair is formed at a position that contacts at least a part of both ends in the X-axis direction of the first limiting plate 32 just below the first limiting plate 32. do not have to.
- the second limiting plate 42 is used. This edge may be formed so as to be separated from the opening edge of the first limiting plate 32 to such an extent that the vapor deposition flow at the opening edge of the first limiting plate 32 can be used.
- the first limiting plate 32 only determines which region of the vapor deposition flow emitted from the injection port 11 is used. It is the thickest and becomes thinner toward the end (nozzle end) of the injection port 11.
- the mask opening 51 uses a flat region of the vapor deposition distribution, and the portion where the nozzle end is thin is shielded by the vapor deposition mask 50 without providing the mask opening 51.
- the film thickness distribution at the nozzle center and the nozzle end can be offset. That is, depending on the mask design, the vapor deposition flow at the opening edge of the first limiting plate 32 can be effectively used.
- the vapor deposition area assigned to one nozzle is variable by the first limiting plate 32.
- the entire surface of the panel (film formation substrate 200) cannot be deposited by a single scan, and it is necessary to scan again by shifting the nozzles. In such a case, variations between nozzles and before and after the nozzles are shifted (for example, variations in thermal history) are reflected in the deposited film, and are easily recognized as deposition unevenness.
- the second limiting plate 42 shown in FIG. 8 has the same shape as the first limiting plate 32 extended in the Z-axis direction.
- the vapor deposition particles 401 in the case where the second restriction plate 42 shown in FIG. 8 is provided and in the case where the first restriction plate 32 is extended in the Z-axis direction to the same height as the second restriction plate 42. The difference in flow will be described.
- FIG. 9 shows the vapor deposition unit 1 when the second restriction plate 42 shown in FIG. 8 is provided, and the first restriction plate 32 without the second restriction plate 42 and the same height as the second restriction plate 42. It is sectional drawing which shows and arrange
- the right vapor deposition unit 1 (right diagram) is provided with the second restriction plate 42 shown in FIG. 8, and the left vapor deposition unit 1 (left diagram) is the first restriction plate.
- a dotted frame region A indicates a region where the second limiting plate 42 is provided
- a dotted frame region B indicates The area
- the ratio of the first limiting plate 32 extending in the Z-axis direction of the left diagram or the second limiting plate 42 of the right diagram is larger in the former (left diagram).
- the pressure difference at the boundary between the dotted line frame area A and the dotted line frame area B is the left figure in which the first restriction plate 32 is extended in the Z-axis direction, rather than the right figure in which the second restriction plate 42 is provided. It can be seen that is larger.
- the vapor deposition unit 401 shown in the left figure spreads in the dotted frame region B due to the difference in pressure described above. While the film formation pattern spreads, in the vapor deposition unit 1 shown in the right figure, the spread of the vapor deposition flow can be suppressed and abnormal film formation can be prevented.
- first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 42 are preferably provided as close as possible, and most preferably provided in contact with each other.
- the heights of the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 42 may be set as appropriate according to the distance between the injection port 11 and the vapor deposition mask 50, and are not particularly limited.
- the deposition flow is confined as shown in FIG.
- the height of the second restriction plate 42 is too low, the ability to cut the spread vapor deposition flow may be insufficient.
- the distance between the second limiting plate 42 and the vapor deposition mask 50 is not particularly specified, but the second limiting plate 42 and the vapor deposition mask 50 are in close contact with each other or the distance is too narrow. Then, when the cooling mechanism is not provided in the second limiting plate 42, heat is transmitted to the vapor deposition mask 50 through the second limiting plate 42, and the vapor deposition mask 50 may be bent by the heat. Further, even if the cooling mechanism is provided in the second limiting plate 42, the vapor deposition mask 50 may be bent by the radiant heat from the vapor deposition source 10, and in that case, the vapor deposition mask 50 is damaged due to contact with the second limiting plate 42. There is a risk.
- the second limiting plate 42 and the vapor deposition mask 50 are appropriately separated from each other, and the first limiting plate 32 and the vapor deposition mask 50 are separated so that the second limiting plate 42 and the vapor deposition mask 50 are separated from each other. It is preferable that the height and arrangement of the second limiting plate 42 are determined.
- the second restriction plate 42 occupies the space between the first restriction plate 32 and the vapor deposition mask 50 so that the vapor deposition flow that has passed through the restriction plate opening 33 does not change the vapor deposition distribution due to a rapid pressure change. A smaller volume is preferable. For this reason, it is preferable that the heights of the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 42 are determined in consideration of this point.
- FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of a main part of a vapor deposition unit according to this modification, together with a film formation substrate.
- the second restriction plate 42 is provided on the first restriction plate 32 so that the opening width between the paired second restriction plates 42 becomes smaller toward the upper side.
- the pair of second limiting plates 42 provided on the first limiting plate 32 is formed in an inverted V shape (that is, a “C” shape) having an opening at the center. Two limiting plates 42 are arranged.
- the second limiting plate 42 is provided in contact with the first limiting plate 32 for the reason described above. Further, in the pair of second limiting plates 42, the edge on the X-axis direction end portion side of each first limiting plate 32 is the X-axis direction end portion (first limiting plate 32) of the first limiting plate 32. It is preferable that the second restricting plate 42 is provided so as to be positioned at the opening edge of the restricting plate opening 33 at 32.
- the spatial volume can be changed in the Z-axis direction as shown in FIG. Specifically, the space on the restriction plate opening 33 between the first restriction plates 32 (specifically, the space in the restriction plate opening 43b between the second restriction plates 42) as it is on the vapor deposition mask 50 side. The volume is increased.
- the present modification it is not necessary to increase the height of the second restricting plate 42 to the vicinity of the vapor deposition mask 50 as shown in FIG. 7, and the restricting plate opening between the first restricting plates 32 is increased upward. Since the spatial volume on 33 spreads, scattering of vapor deposition particles 401 can be suppressed. For this reason, the problem seen in FIG. 7 can be solved, and the vapor deposition flow that has spread after passing through the restriction plate openings 33 between the first restriction plates 32 can be captured more effectively.
- FIGS. 11A to 11E are plan views showing pattern examples of the second restriction plate 42 in the main part of the restriction plate unit 20 according to this modification.

- the case where it is provided is shown as an example.
- the second limiting plate 42 is shorter than the length of the first limiting plate 32 in the Y-axis direction, and the first limiting plate 32 in plan view.
- a plurality of second limiting plates 42 may be provided intermittently (discontinuously) in the Y-axis direction.
- the second limiting plate 42 (for example, the second limiting plate 42 adjacent in the X-axis direction) at each position in the X-axis direction is not used. There is no need to match continuous locations (regions between opposing ends of the second limiting plates 42 adjacent in the Y-axis direction) at a specific position (specific Y coordinate) in the Y-axis direction. There is no need to match the length.
- the vapor deposition particles 401 do not pass through the discontinuous portions and reach the adjacent film formation region (adjacent mask opening region).
- the X axis is in any position (coordinates) in the Y axis direction.
- at least one second limiting plate 42 exists (that is, there is no Y coordinate position where the second limiting plate 42 does not exist when viewed from a direction parallel to the X-axis direction). It is preferable.
- At least one second limiting plate 42 is present in the region where the paired second limiting plates 42 are formed as viewed from the direction parallel to the X-axis direction at any position in the Y-axis direction. Since it is sufficient to arrange the second limiting plates 42 so as to exist, it is not necessary to match the extending distance in the Y-axis direction of the second limiting plate 42 in the region. Further, it is not necessary for the first limit plate 32 and the second limit plate 42 to have the same length in the Y-axis direction.
- the pair of second limiting plates 42 adjacent to each other in the X-axis direction are respectively opposite end portions in the X-axis direction of the first limiting plate 32 directly below the paired second limiting plates 42.
- the case where it is provided at a position separated from the case is shown as an example.
- the pair of second limiting plates 42 adjacent to each other in the X-axis direction is at least a part thereof (for example, at least the second limiting plate 42 adjacent to the injection port 11 in plan view).
- the first restricting plate 32 directly below is formed at a position in contact with at least a part of both ends in the X-axis direction.
- FIG. 12 is a plan view showing a pattern example of the second restriction plate 42 in the main part of the restriction plate unit 20 according to this modification, together with the injection port 11.
- the vapor deposition distribution of the vapor deposition film 402 is thickest immediately above the injection port 11 (nozzle) and becomes thinner toward the end (nozzle end) of the injection port 11. For this reason, the vapor deposition density is high above the vicinity of the injection port 11, and the collision / scattering of the vapor deposition particles 401 is large.
- the length and arrangement position of the second limiting plate 42 in the Y-axis direction be determined in consideration of the vapor deposition material and the vapor deposition density (vapor deposition rate).
- the second restricting plate 42 faces the injection port 11 in plan view. It is preferable that they are provided adjacent to each other. In this case, the second restricting plate 42 does not necessarily have to be intermittently formed in the Y-axis direction along the first restricting plate 32, and as shown in FIG. 11 may be provided only at a position adjacent to 11.
- the directivity of the vapor deposition flow tends to be deteriorated.
- the second restricting plate 42 does not necessarily have to be provided at a position far from the injection port 11 in plan view.
- the second restriction plate 42 can be provided only in a necessary portion, so that an inexpensive configuration can be achieved.
- a pair of second limiting plates 42 is illustrated as an example in a case where the second limiting plates 42 are provided at positions separated from both ends in the X-axis direction of the first limiting plate 32 immediately below the pair. ing.
- the paired second limiting plates 42 are in contact with both end portions in the X-axis direction (that is, part of both end portions in the X-axis direction) of the first limiting plate 32 immediately below the pair. It is preferably formed at a position (more specifically, flush with part of both end portions in the X-axis direction).
- FIG. 13 is a plan view showing a pattern example of the second restriction plate 42 in the main part of the restriction plate unit 20 according to the present modification example, together with the injection port 11.
- FIGS. 3, 11A to 11E, and FIG. 12 the case where the second restricting plate 42 is a rectangular parallelepiped has been described as an example.
- the shape of 42 may not be a rectangular parallelepiped.
- the end in the Y-axis direction of the second limiting plate 42 has a tapered shape in plan view. Also good.
- the volume occupied by the second limiting plate 42 is small so that the distribution of the vapor deposition flow passing through the limiting plate opening 33 between the first limiting plates 32 does not change due to a rapid pressure change. Therefore, by adopting the shape shown in FIG. 13, it is possible to suppress a change in the distribution of the vapor deposition flow that has passed through the limiting plate opening 33 (the vapor deposition distribution of the vapor deposition film 402), and therefore it is possible to perform more accurate control. .
- the pair of second limiting plates 42 are provided at positions separated from both ends in the X-axis direction of the first limiting plate 32 immediately below the pair.
- the pair of second limiting plates 42 is also configured such that the paired second limiting plates 42 have both ends in the X-axis direction (that is, a part of both ends in the X-axis direction) immediately below the first limiting plate 32. ) Is preferably formed at a position in contact with.

- an abnormality can be caused by providing two second restriction plates 42 in the X-axis direction for one first restriction plate 32. Film formation can be sufficiently suppressed.
- the arrangement position of the second restriction plate 42 is changed. If it is more inside, there may be a case where it is difficult to say that the effect of trapping the vapor deposition particles 401 causing abnormal film formation is insufficient, such as the possibility that the vapor deposition flow outside the arrangement position of the second limiting plate 42 may not be captured. is there.
- the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 42 are not in close contact, the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate.
- the length of the second limiting plate 42 in the X-axis direction is increased (in other words, the second It is also conceivable to increase the width of the limiting plate 42).
- the width of the second limiting plate 42 increases, the second limiting plate 42 becomes heavy and alignment accuracy cannot be obtained. Further, since the occupied volume of the second limiting plate 42 increases, a rapid pressure change is caused in the vapor deposition flow after passing through the second limiting plate 42.
