Description
本发明属于显示技术领域,具体涉及一种OLED基板及其制备方法、显示装置。
OLED(有机电致发光器件:Organic Light-Emitting Device,简称OLED)由于其具有制备工艺简单、成本低、功耗低、发光亮度高、工作温度适应范围广等优点,因而有着广阔的应用前景。
OLED在显示器方面有着极其广泛的应用。具体的,以一OLED基板为例进行说明。结合图1和图2所示,该OLED基板包括显示区域1,以及将显示区域1包围的周边区域2,且周边区域2包括多个阴极接触区21。其中,在OLED基板的基底10上形成源漏(SD)金属延伸部11,该源漏金属延伸部11从显示区域延伸至周边区域的阴极接触区;在源漏金属延伸部11所在层上方形成钝化层12(PVX),且在位于阴极接触区的钝化层12中形成有多个过孔;在钝化层12上方形成有OLED器件的阳极以及阳极金属延伸部,OLED器件的阳极位于显示区域,且与阳极金属延伸部13同层设置,阳极金属延伸部13同样从显示区域延伸至周边区域的阴极接触区,阳极金属延伸部13通过过孔与阴极接触区位置处的源漏金属延伸部11连接;在OLED器件的阳极以及阳极金属延伸部所在层上方形成有像素限定层14,该像素限定层14包括位于显示区域的第一开口,以及位于周边区域的阴极接触区的第二开口,每一个第一开口用于容纳一个OLED器件的发光材料,第二开口的宽度远大于第一开口的宽度,且第二开口的宽度比阴极接触区的宽度还要大一些;在形成像素限定层14之后,通过连续印刷的方式在整个OLED基底10上方形成有机电致发光材料层;由于周边区域不用于显示,此时需要将周边区域位置处的有机电致发光材料清洁干净;最后形成OLED器件的阴极和阴极金属延伸部,OLED器件的阴极位于显示区域,且与阳极金属延伸部13连接,阴极金属延伸部从显示区域延伸至周边区域的阴极接触区。

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。
实施例1:
结合图1、3所示,本实施例提供了一种OLED基板,其中,由于本实施例的OLED基板的平面示意图与现有技术相同,因此均用图1表示。将该OLED基板划分成显示区域1和围绕显示区域1的周边区域2,其中,周边区域2具有多个阴极接触区21。本实施例的OLED基板具体包括:基底10;源漏金属延伸部11,其设置在基底10上方,且所述源漏金属延伸部11从所述显示区域1延伸至所述周边区域2的阴极接触区21;钝化层12,其设置在源漏金属延伸部11所在层上方,且所述钝化层12在与所述阴极接触区21对应的位置具有多个过孔;阳极金属延伸部13,其设置在所述钝化层12上方,且所述阳极金属延伸部13从所述显示区域1延伸至所述周边区域2的阴极接触区21,并通过过孔与所述源漏金属延伸部11电连接;像素限定层14,其设置在所述阳极金属延伸部13所在层上方,且所述像素限定层14在与所述显示区域1对应的位置具有多个连续设置的第一图案100,每个所述第一图案100具有一个凸起部102和一个凹槽部101,所述像素限定层14在与所述周边区域2的阴极接触区21对应的位置具有多个连续设置的第二图案200,每个所述第二图案200具有一个凸起部202和一个凹槽部201;其中,所述第一图案的凸起部102与所述第二图案的凹槽部201对应,所述第一图案的凹槽部101与所述第二图案的凸起部202对应。
在本实施例中,由于像素限定层14在与显示区域1对应的位置具有多个连续设置的第一图案100,在与周边区域2的阴极接触区21对
应的位置具有多个连续设置的第二图案200,且第一图案的凸起部102与第二图案的凹槽部201对应,第一图案的凹槽部101与第二图案的凸起部202对应;或者也可以说,第一图案100和第二图案200是相反的图案。因此,在采用连续打印的方式印刷发光材料以形成OLED器件的发光材料层15时,发光材料不会印刷至第二图案200的凹槽部201中,只是留在了第二图案的凸起部202上,由此避免了发光材料落入第二图案的凹槽部201下方与钝化层12的过孔对应的位置Q而导致的难以清理发光材料的问题。需要说明的是,连续打印的方式是指,沿第一图案的凹槽部101所在行方向或者列方向逐次印刷。由于本实施例中第一图案100和第二图案200的凹槽部和凸起部位置恰恰相反,因此,当印刷到第二图案200时,发光材料只能被印刷至第二图案200的凸起部位置。需要说明的是,在图3中,位于显示区域1的第一图案的凹槽部101例如可以对应大约2-6个Q位置的大小,图3只是示意性的表示。
其中,在基底10上还可以设置有薄膜晶体管的各层结构,例如栅极层、栅极绝缘层、有源层、源极和漏极等,源漏金属延伸部11与源极和漏极是同层设置的。
可选的,在根据本发明实施例的OLED基板中,所述第一图案的凸起部102的宽度与所述第二图案的凹槽部201的宽度相同,所述第一图案的凹槽部101的宽度与所述第二图案的凸起部202的宽度相同。之所以如此设置,是为了尽可能避免在形成有机发光材料层时,发光材料落入第二图案的凹槽部201中而导致清洁困难的问题。
如图4所示,可选的,本实施例的OLED基板还包括发光材料层15;其中,所述发光材料层15设置在所述第一图案的凹槽部101中,以及设置在所述第二图案的凸起部202上方。也就是说,在连续打印发光材料以形成发光材料层15时,在显示区域1,发光材料落入每个第一图案的凹槽部101,以形成每一个OLED发光单元的发光材料层15;在周边区域2的阴极接触区21,发光材料落在第二图案的凸起部202上,从而使发光材料可以保持在第二图案的凸起部202上而无需对发光材料进行清洁,提高了生产效率。当然,也可以将第二图案的凸起部202上的发光材料清理干净,与现有的OLED基板结构相比,此时的清理工作的难度大大降低。而且,像素限定层14的材料可以为疏
水性材料,因此,发光材料被印刷至第二图案的凸起部202上时,也不会流入第二图案的凹槽部201中。
如图5所示,进一步可选的,本实施例的OLED基板还包括阴极,以及与阴极连接的阴极金属延伸部16;其中,所述阴极和阴极金属延伸部16设置在发光材料层15上方,且所述阴极设置在显示区域1,所述阴极金属延伸部16从所述显示区域1延伸至所述周边区域2的阴极接触区21,并通过第二图案的凹槽部201与所述阳极金属延伸部13连接。此时,可以在阴极接触区21的位置输入阴极所需要的信号。
可选的,本实施例的OLED基板还包括设置在显示区域1的阳极,所述阳极与所述阳极金属延伸部13同层设置且与所述阳极金属延伸部13断开。可以理解的是,OLED基板上所形成的每一个OLED发光单元均具有一个单独的阳极,每个阳极通过相应的像素单元中的薄膜晶体管进行驱动。

步骤五、在完成上述步骤的基底10上,形成发光材料层15;其中,所述发光材料层形成在所述第一图案的凹槽部101中以及所述第二图案的凸起部202上方。
具体的,在该步骤中,可以采用连续打印的方式形成发光材料层15。

具体的,在该步骤中,可以采用溅射或蒸镀形成阴极以及与阴极连接的阴极金属延伸部16。
其中,阴极和阴极金属延伸部16的材料为低功函数金属材料,比
如:锂、镁、钙、锶、铝、铟等或上述金属与铜、金、银的合金;或者,阴极和阴极金属延伸部16可以采用一层很薄的缓冲绝缘层(如LiF、CsCO3等)和上述金属或合金制成。
至此,形成了OLED基板。
