Description
本发明属于显示技术领域,具体涉及显示面板及其制备方法、显示装置。
平板显示器为目前主要流行的显示器,其具有外形轻薄、省电以及无辐射等特点而被广泛地应用于电脑屏幕、移动电话等电子产品上。
显示面板是平板显示器的主要组成部分,如图1所示,显示面板包括像素区1、扇出区2以及驱动电路区3。像素区1包括多条相互交叉设置的栅线11和数据线12,在栅线11和数据线12之间设置有第一绝缘层13(通常为栅极绝缘层),在数据线12上方设置有第二绝缘层14(通常为钝化层),并且栅线11和数据线12分别延伸至扇出区2。驱动电路区3包括用于为各栅线11提供栅极扫描信号的多个栅极驱动芯片以及用于为各数据线12提供数据电压信号的多个源极驱动芯片。如图2和3所示,在扇出区2中的栅线11上方形成有贯穿第一绝缘层13和第二绝缘层14的第一过孔15,在扇出区2中的数据线12上方形成有贯穿第二绝缘层14的第二过孔16,使得栅极驱动芯片通过第一过孔15与栅线11电连接,源极驱动芯片通过第二过孔16与数据线12电连接。通常第一过孔15和第二过孔16是采用一次构图工艺形成的,因此可以减少工艺步骤,并且节约成本。
发明人发现现有技术中至少存在如下问题。由于第一过孔15和第二过孔16是采用一次构图工艺形成的,因此通过刻蚀形成两个过孔所消耗的时间相同,但是在形成第一过孔15时需要同时刻蚀第一绝缘层13和第二绝缘层14,而在形成第二过孔16时则只
需刻蚀第二绝缘层14。因此,在相同的刻蚀时间的条件下,必然导致刻蚀形成的第二过孔16的开口大于刻蚀形成的第一过孔15的开口。若栅极驱动芯片的管脚刚好完全插入到第一过孔15中,即,栅极驱动芯片的管脚被第一过孔15的孔壁完全包裹,在此情况下,由于第二过孔16的开口较大,在将源极驱动芯片的管脚插入第二过孔16时,则无法保证源极驱动芯片的管脚被第二过孔16的孔壁完全包裹,导致第二过孔16下方的数据线12裸露而将被外界环境(水汽、氧气等)污染,从而造成接触不良,影响显示效果。

图6为根据本发明的实施例的形成显示面板的第二过孔的示意图。
为使本领域技术人员更好地理解本发明的技术方案,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本发明作进一步详细描述。
本发明实施例提供了一种显示面板,其包括像素区和扇出区,所述像素区包括多条相互交叉设置的第一信号线和第二信号线,所述第一信号线和所述第二信号线分别延伸至扇出区,在第一信号线和第二信号线之间设置有第一绝缘层,在第二信号线上方设置有第二绝缘层,所述第二绝缘层包括至少四层结构,其每层结构的致密度沿远离所述第一绝缘层的方向逐渐降低。
本领域技术人员可以理解的是,显示面板上的信号线与驱动芯片电连接,以通过驱动芯片为与信号线连接的像素单元提供信号,这些信号线从像素区延伸至扇出区。通过在扇出区与该信号线对应的位置处刻蚀相应的过孔,并且将驱动芯片的管脚插入到过孔中,以使驱动芯片与信号线电连接。然而,这些信号线并非同层设置,因此过孔的深度也是不同的。在现有技术中为了提高生产效率以及节约成本,通常采用一次构图工艺形成这些过孔,因此导致深度较小的过孔的孔径较大,使得驱动芯片的管脚插入该过孔后无法完全被过孔的孔壁包裹,导致该过孔下方的信号线的一部分裸露,进而导致该信号线产生不良,影响显示品质。
在本实施例中,对形成有较浅过孔的绝缘层(第二绝缘层)的结构进行改变,即,采用至少四层结构的第二绝缘层,并且第二绝缘层中的每层结构的致密度沿远离第一绝缘层(栅极绝缘层)的方向逐渐降低。在针对具有该结构的第二绝缘层的刻蚀过程中,将形成内壁为台阶状的过孔,相应减小了过孔的孔径,以避免出现信号线暴露的情况产生,并且可灵活地改变生产的监控尺寸。
具体地,在本发明的一个实施例中,一种显示面板包括像素区、扇出区以及驱动电路区,每个扇出区设置在像素区与驱动电
路区之间。在像素区中设置有相互异面交叉的第一信号线和第二信号线,第一信号线和第二信号线分别延伸至各个扇出区。在驱动电路区中设置有第一驱动芯片和第二驱动芯片。在第一信号线所在层和第二信号线所在层之间设置有第一绝缘层,在第二信号线上方还设置有第二绝缘层。所述第一驱动芯片通过贯穿扇出区中第一信号线上方的第一绝缘层和第二绝缘层的第一过孔与第一信号线电连接,所述第二驱动芯片通过贯穿扇出区中第二信号线上方的第二绝缘层的第二过孔与第二信号线电连接。此外,本实施例中的第二绝缘层包括至少四层结构,并且第二绝缘层的每层结构的致密度沿远离所述第一绝缘层的方向逐渐降低。
如图4至6所示,在本实施例中,例如,第一信号线可以为栅线11,第二信号线可以为数据线12,第一驱动芯片可以为栅极驱动芯片,并且第二驱动芯片可以为源极驱动芯片。应当理解的是,可替代地,第一信号线可以为数据线12,第二信号线可以为栅线11,第一驱动芯片可以为源极驱动芯片,并且第二驱动芯片可以为栅极驱动芯片。
在本实施例中,彼此交叉设置的多条栅线11和多条数据线12限定出多个像素单元,在栅线11和数据线12之间设置有栅极绝缘层13(第一绝缘层),在数据线12上方还设置有钝化层14(第二绝缘层)。在扇出区中靠近驱动电路区的栅线11上方形成的栅极绝缘层13和钝化层14中刻蚀出第一过孔15以贯穿栅极绝缘层13和钝化层14,在数据线12上方形成的钝化层14中刻蚀出第二过孔16以贯穿钝化层14。此时,驱动电路区的栅极驱动芯片的管脚通过第一过孔15与栅线11电连接,以便为栅线11提供栅极扫描线号,源极驱动芯片的管脚则通过第二过孔16与数据线12电连接,以便为数据线12提供数据电压信号。在本实施例中,钝化层14采用至少四层的结构,即,图4中所示的结构14-1、14-2、14-3和14-4,并且每层结构的致密度沿远离栅极绝缘层13的方向递减,从而通过刻蚀钝化层14所形成的第二过孔16的内壁为圆形台阶状。可以理解的是,两相邻层结构的致密度不同,故这两
层结构的被刻蚀的程度也是不同,即,致密度大的层结构较致密度小的层结构刻蚀形成的孔径小,从而很容易在相邻层结构交界的界面处形成台阶,进而使得第二过孔16内壁的孔径沿远离所述栅极绝缘层13的方向依次增大。此时,第二过孔16实际上所能容纳的管脚的孔径应当是第二过孔16内壁中的最小孔径,也就是致密度最大的一层结构被刻蚀形成的孔径。因此相对于现有一层结构的钝化层14所刻蚀出的过孔而言,本实施例的第二过孔16的孔径较小,从而可以避免由于第二孔径16过大无法将源极驱动芯片的管脚完全包裹而导致的数据线裸露,从而避免显示不良的现象。
需要说明的是,在形成第一过孔15时需要刻蚀钝化层14和栅极绝缘层13,并且在同一次构图工艺中形成第一过孔15和第二过孔16。因此,钝化层14的结构改变同样会对第一过孔15的孔径造成一定的影响,但是,应当理解的是,栅极绝缘层13的致密度相对于钝化层14中致密度最大的一层结构(也就是钝化层14的第一层结构14-1)而言还要大,因此,第一过孔15的孔径取决于栅极绝缘层13。而且,即使采用与现有技术中同样长的刻蚀时间,由于刻蚀难易程度增加,会导致所形成的第一过孔15的孔径有所减小,但并不会影响栅极驱动芯片的管脚插入到第一过孔15中,只要稍微用力将栅极驱动芯片下压,其管脚即可插入第一过孔15中以与栅线接触。
例如,钝化层14的每层结构的材料相同。在此情况下,在形成钝化层14各层结构时,工艺简单,可以提高生产效率。可以理解的是,钝化层14的每层结构的材料也可以是不相同的,只要在远离栅极绝缘层13的方向上钝化层的各层结构的致密度依次降低,并且在对钝化层14进行刻蚀时所形成的第二过孔16的内壁能够呈台阶状即可。例如,本实施例中的钝化层14的材料可以为氮化硅,其也可以不局限于这种材料,也可以是氧化硅等其他的绝缘材料。
如上所述,本实施例中的钝化层14可以采用四层结构的钝化
层。经过实验验证,当钝化层14采用致密度逐渐降低的两层或者三层结构时,在对该钝化层14进行刻蚀之后,不能形成内壁为台阶状的过孔,而是形成内壁为外凸的弧形的过孔,可以理解的是,这种过孔仍然不能将驱动芯片的管脚完全包裹。此外,当钝化层14采用五层或者更多层结构时,在对该钝化层14进行刻蚀之后,虽然同样可以形成内壁呈台阶状的过孔,但是随着钝化层14结构的层数的增多,势必会造成工艺的复杂,同时也会增加生产成本,并且效率降低。然而,四层结构的钝化层14结构简单,同时经刻蚀后可以形成内壁为台阶状的过孔,可以将驱动芯片的管脚完全包裹,故可以解决现有技术中存在的裸露的数据线不良的问题。此外,四层结构的钝化层14的制备容易实现,节约制备时间,提高生产效率。
具体的,在钝化层14所包括的四层结构14-1、14-2、14-3、14-4中,该四层结构的厚度范围分别为10nm至50nm、50nm至500nm、50nm至500nm、以及10nm至50nm。但是,此厚度范围并不构成对本实施例的限制,也可以根据具体情况具体设定厚度范围。需要说明的是,在经过多次试验之后得出,当钝化层14的第一层结构14-1和第四层结构14-4的厚度相差不大,第二层结构14-2和第三层结构14-3的厚度相差不大,并且第一层结构14-1和第四层结构14-4的厚度均小于第二层结构14-2和第三层结构14-3的厚度时,通过刻蚀形成第二过孔16时,更容易地在第二过孔16内壁中形成台阶,如图6所示。
具体的,在钝化层所包括的四层结构14-1、14-2、14-3、14-4中,针对该四层结构的刻蚀速率范围分别为300nm/min至600nm/min、300nm/min至800nm/min、300nm/min至1000nm/min、以及300nm/min至1500nm/min。可以理解的是,可以通过针对钝化层14的每层结构的刻蚀速率来表征每层结构的致密度,致密度较大的层的刻蚀速率较低,否则反之。同时,通过合理设置钝化层14的每层结构的致密度,可以使得在刻蚀钝化层14所形成的第二过孔16的内壁更容易被形成为环形台阶。通过实验验证得知,
对钝化层14的第二层结构14-2的刻蚀速率比对第三层结构14-3的刻蚀速率小100nm/min至700nm/min时,也就是说第二层结构14-2的致密度与14-3的致密度之间的差距较大时,可以在刻蚀钝化层14所形成的第二过孔16的内壁形成较完美的环形台阶。在该情况下,在钝化层14的第二层结构14-2和第三层结构14-3的交界面的位置处所形成的环形(圆形)台阶的直径则可以看作为所监控的第二过孔16的孔径。
在本发明的另一个实施例中,提供一种显示面板的制备方法,其中该显示面板可以为上述实施例中所述的显示面板。该显示面板包括像素区、扇出区和驱动电路区。所述扇出区的每一个设置在所述像素区和所述驱动电路区之间。所述像素区包括多条相互交叉设置的第一信号线和第二信号线,所述第一信号线和所述第二信号线分别延伸至扇出区。在第一信号线和第二信号线之间设置有第一绝缘层,在第二信号线上方设置有第二绝缘层,所述第二绝缘层包括至少四层结构,其每层结构的致密度沿远离所述第一绝缘层的方向逐渐降低。所述驱动电路区包括多个第一驱动芯片和多个第二驱动芯片,所述第一驱动芯片通过贯穿所述扇出区中的第一绝缘层和第二绝缘层的第一过孔与所述第一信号线电连接,所述第二驱动芯片通过贯穿所述扇出区中的第二绝缘层的第二过孔与所述第二信号线电连接。
在本实施例中,例如,第二绝缘层包括四层结构,且四层结构的材料相同,该材料可以为氮化硅。
本实施例的显示面板的制备方法包括以下步骤一至步骤三。
步骤一中,在基底上形成第一信号线图案和第一绝缘层。
具体的,在该步骤中基板采用玻璃等透明材料制成并且经过预先清洗。例如,在基板上采用溅射方式、热蒸发方式、等离子体增强化学气相沉积(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition:简称PECVD)方式、低压化学气相沉积(Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition:简称LPCVD)方式、大气压化学气相沉积(Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition:
简称APCVD)方式或电子回旋谐振化学气相沉积(Electron Cyclotron Resonance Chemical Vapor Deposition:简称ECR-CVD)方式形成第一金属薄膜,通过对该第一金属薄膜进行曝光、显影、刻蚀、剥离的构图工艺来形成包括第一信号线的图案,然后采用等离子体增强化学气相沉积方式、低压化学气相沉积方式、大气压化学气相沉积方式或电子回旋谐振化学气相沉积方式或溅射方式形成第一绝缘层。
步骤二中,在完成上述步骤的基底上,通过构图工艺形成第二信号线的图案和第二绝缘层。
在该步骤中,第二信号线的形成方法与第一信号线的形成方法相同,在此不再详细描述。特别是,在该步骤中,第二绝缘层的形成方法是与第一绝缘层的形成方法不同。以第二绝缘层的材料为氮化硅的情况为例,形成第二绝缘层的步骤具体包括:利用NH3、N2和SiH4的反应气体在250℃至400℃的温度范围内通过化学气相沉积工艺依次形成所述第二绝缘层的第一层至第四层,具体工艺条件分别如下所述。
当形成所述第二绝缘层的第一层结构时,SiH4流量范围为500sccm至1500sccm,NH3流量范围为2000sccm至4000sccm,N2流量范围为10000sccm至30000sccm,反应功率范围为3000W至6000W,反应压强范围为500mtorr至1000mtorr,反应间距范围为500mils至1500mils。
当形成所述第二绝缘层的第二层结构时,SiH4流量范围为1000sccm至2000sccm,NH3流量范围为3000sccm至5000sccm,N2流量范围为10000sccm至30000sccm,反应功率范围为3000W至7000W,反应压强范围为800mtorr至1500mtorr,反应间距范围为800mils至1500mils。
当形成所述第二绝缘层的第三层结构时,SiH4流量范围为1000sccm至2000sccm,NH3流量范围为3000sccm至7000sccm,N2流量范围为10000sccm至30000sccm,反应功率范围为3000W至7000W,反应压强范围为1000mtorr至2500mtorr,反应间距范
围为800mils至1500mils。
当形成所述第二绝缘层的第四层结构时,SiH4流量范围为1000sccm至2000sccm,NH3流量范围为4000sccm至8000sccm,N2流量范围为10000sccm至30000sccm,反应功率范围为5000W至7000W,反应压强范围为2000mtorr至3000mtorr,反应间距范围为800mils至1500mils。
需要说明的是,上述步骤中只是给出一个具体的实现方式,而在实际中,通过调节各气体的流量,控制反应功率、压强以及间距,可形成所述第二绝缘层的四层结构。上述步骤中,SiH4流量范围为1000sccm至2000sccm,NH3流量范围为2000sccm至8000sccm,N2流量范围为10000sccm至30000sccm,反应功率范围为3000W至7000W,反应压强范围为500mtorr至3000mtorr,反应间距范围为500mils至1500mils。同时,需要说明的是,形成第二绝缘层的每层结构的气体流量、反应功率、压强以及间距均不同,只有这样才能形成致密度不同的四层结构。如何控制气体流量、反应功率、反应压强以及反应间距,以形成材料相同且致密度不同的膜层的方法是本领域技术人员已知的,故在此不详细描述。
在第二绝缘层所包括的四层结构中,每层结构的厚度范围分别为10nm至50nm、50nm至500nm、50nm至500nm、以及10nm至50nm,但是此厚度范围并不构成对本实施例的限制,也可以根据具体情况具体设定。需要说明的是,在经过多次试验之后得出,当第二绝缘层的第一层结构和第四层结构的厚度的相差不大,第二层结构和第三层结构的厚度相差不大,并且第一层结构和第四层结构的厚度均小于第二层结构和第三层结构的厚度时,在随后通过刻蚀形成第二过孔的步骤中,更容易在第二过孔内壁中形成台阶。
在第二绝缘层所包括的四层结构中,针对每层结构的刻蚀速率范围分别为300nm/min至600nm/min、300nm/min至800nm/min、300nm/min至1000nm/min、以及300nm/min至1500nm/min。可以
理解的是,可以通过第二绝缘层的每层结构的刻蚀速率来表征每层结构的致密度,致密度较大的层的刻蚀速率较低,否则反之。同时,可以理解的是,通过合理地设置第二绝缘层的每层结构的致密度,可以使得在随后刻蚀第二绝缘层的步骤中更容易在第二过孔的内壁中形成环形台阶。通过实验验证得知,对第二绝缘层的第二层结构的刻蚀速率比第三层结构的刻蚀速率小100nm/min至700nm/min时,也就是说第二层结构的致密度与第三层结构的致密度差距较大时,可以在随后刻蚀第二绝缘层的步骤中在第二过孔的内壁中形成较完美的环形台阶。在此情况下,随后步骤中在第二绝缘层的第二层结构和第三层结构交界面的位置处所形成的环形台阶的直径则可以被看作为所监控的第二过孔的孔径。
步骤三中,在完成上述步骤的基底上,通过构图工艺形成包括第一过孔和第二过孔的图案。
在该步骤中,采用涂覆(包括旋涂)方法,在第二绝缘层的第四层结构上方形成有机膜。有机膜采用有机树脂形成,有机树脂包括丙烯酸类成膜树脂、酚醛树脂类成膜树脂、乙烯基聚合物成膜树脂或聚酰亚胺成膜树脂。然后通过构图工艺,形成贯穿第一绝缘层和第二绝缘层并且用于将第一信号线和第一驱动芯片连接的第一过孔、以及贯穿第二绝缘层并且用于将第二信号线与第二驱动芯片连接的第二过孔。每节台阶所在位置为所述第二绝缘层中的任意两相邻层结构的交界位置,并且每节台阶所围成的圆形的直径沿远离所述第一绝缘层的方向依次增大。
至此完成显示面板上扇形区中的过孔的制备。
需要说明的是,上述实施例中仅仅是以制备四层结构的第二绝缘层为例进行说明的,以同样的方法还可以制备四层以上结构的第二绝缘层,只要相应地控制气体流量、反应功率、反应压强以及反应间距即可实现。
可以理解的是,在本实施例的制备方法中,所形成的第二绝缘层结构至少包括四层,因此在通过刻蚀第二绝缘层形成的第二过孔的内壁上一定会形成环形台阶。在此情况下,与单层结构的
第二绝缘层相比,本实施例的第二绝缘层中的第二过孔的监控孔径将会发生改变,也就是第二过孔的监控孔径将会减小,从而第二绝缘层可以将插入到第二过孔中的第二驱动芯片的管脚完全包裹,避免外界环境对第二驱动芯片的管脚以及第二过孔下方的第二信号线造成污染,从而避免产生不良。
在本发明的另一个实施例中,提供一种显示装置,其包括上述实施例中所述的显示面板。本实施例的显示装置的性能更好并且良率较高。
本实施例所提供的显示装置可以为TN、ADS、IPS、LTPS等任何模式的液晶显示装置。该显示装置可以为液晶面板、液晶电视、显示器、手机、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
可以理解的是,以上实施方式仅仅是为了说明本发明的原理而采用的示例性实施方式,然而本发明并不局限于此。对于本领域内的普通技术人员而言,在不脱离本发明的精神和实质的情况下,可以做出各种变型和改进,这些变型和改进也视为本发明的保护范围。
