Description

制造OLED面板的方法
本申请要求于2016年6月3日递交中国专利局的、申请号为201610390929.9的中国专利申请的权益，该申请的全部公开内容以引用方式并入本文。
技术领域
本公开涉及一种制造OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Device)面板的方法，尤其涉及一种制造窄边框OLED面板的方法。
背景技术
OLED显示面板作为一种新型的显示面板，具备主动发光、温度特性好、功耗小、响应快、可弯曲、超轻薄和成本低等优点，已广泛应用于显示设备中。
通常，制作OLED面板的过程包括：首先制作较大尺寸的OLED母板，所述OLED母板包括相互间隔开的多个OLED面板区，每个OLED面板区包括显示区和位于显示区外围的玻璃胶封装区；然后沿各个OLED面板区之间的切割线对母板进行切割以得到所需尺寸的OLED面板。最终得到的OLED面板包括显示区和除显示区以外的边框区。
由于OLED面板的显示功能主要通过显示区来实现，边框区主要用于实现面板封装等辅助功能。因此，出于美观、成本等考虑，理论上希望边框越小越好，即实现窄边框设计。但是，由于设备的局限性，上述常规的制作OLED面板的方法无法进一步减小最终得到的OLED面板的边框区的宽度。并且，为了保证OLED面板的信赖性达标，通过减小玻璃胶封装区的宽度来实现窄边框也遇到了障碍。

附图说明
为了使本公开的目的、特征及优点能更加明显易懂，下面结合附图和具体实施例对本公开作进一步说明。
图1是示出一种制作OLED面板的方法的切割步骤的示意图；
图2是根据本公开的一个实施例的制作OLED面板的方法的流程图；

具体实施方式
在下面的详细描述中，为便于解释，阐述了许多具体的细节以提供对本披露实施例的全面理解。然而明显地，一个或多个实施例在没有这些具体细节的情况下也可以被实施。在其他情况下，公知的结构和装置以图示的方式体现以简化附图。另外，说明书中所采用的表述“……设置在……上”可以是一部件设置在另一部件的直接上方，也可能是一部件设置在另一部件的上方，并且在两个部件之间存在中间层。
需要注意的是，附图中各个部件并不是按照真实比例绘制的，其仅用于示意说明本公开的技术方案。
图1是示出了一种制作OLED面板的方法的切割步骤的示意图。应该理解的是，图1中仅示出了较大尺寸的OLED母板的一部分。OLED母板一般包括相互间隔开的多个OLED面板区，每个OLED面板区包括显示区和位于显示区外围的玻璃胶封装区。在图1示出的实施例中，仅示意性地示出了OLED母板的一个OLED面板区。如图1所示，OLED母板4的一个OLED面板区包括玻璃胶封装区1和显示区2，玻璃胶封装区1位于显示区2的外围。可以沿切割线L对OLED母板4进行切割，切割线L距离显示面板的玻璃胶封装区1的距离为X。具体地，切割线L位于玻璃胶封装区1外，且距离玻璃胶封装区1的外围边缘6的距离为X。
通常，为了减小最终制作的OLED面板的边框区，一种方案是减小切割线L与玻璃胶封装区1之间的距离X。但是，由于设备的局限性，目前切割线L与玻璃胶封装区1之间的距离X已经很小，达到了设备的极限，无法通过进一步减小距离X来实现更窄的边框。另一种方案是减小玻璃胶封装区1本身的宽度。但是，玻璃胶封装区宽度太窄，会导致OLED面板的信赖性不达标，因此通过减小玻璃胶封装区的宽度来实现窄边框也遇到了障碍。
为此，本公开提出了另一种制作OLED面板的方法，如图2-5所示。图2是根据本发明本公开的一个实施例的制作OLED面板的方法的流程图；图3(a)是示出根据本公开实施例的制作OLED面板的方法的制作OLED母板步骤的一部分的示意图；图3(b)是示出根据本公开实施例的制作OLED面板的方法的制作OLED母板步骤的另一部分的示意图；图4是根据本公开实施例的方法制作的OLED母板的结构示意图；并且图5是示出根据本公开实施例的制作OLED面板的方法的切割步骤的示意图。以下参照图2-5说明根据本公开的一个示例性实施例的制作OLED面板的方法。
如图2所示，制作OLED面板的方法可以包括步骤：
S1：制作OLED母板，所述OLED母板包括相互间隔开的多个OLED面板区，每个OLED面板区包括显示区和位于显示区外围的玻璃胶封装区；以及
S2：沿切割线对所述OLED母板进行切割以得到分离的OLED面板，其中，所述切割线位于所述玻璃胶封装区内且距离所述玻璃胶封装区的外围边缘向内预定距离处。
在一个示例中，在步骤S1中，制作OLED母板的步骤可以包括：
制作第一基板和第二基板；
在第一基板和第二基板之一上的玻璃胶封装区上涂布玻璃胶，
将第一基板和第二基板对位贴合在一起；以及
固化玻璃胶将第一基板和第二基板结合在一起，以制出OLED母板。
这里，第一基板可以是OLED基板，第二基板可以是封装基板。玻璃胶可以通过印刷等方式涂覆在OLED基板上除显示区以外的封装区域中，也可以涂覆在封装基板上的对应封装区域中。涂覆好玻璃胶之后，将第一基板和第二基板对准并贴合在一起。之后，在第一基板或第二基板上对应玻璃胶封装区的位置照射激光，使得玻璃胶熔融固化，从而将第一基板和第二基板结合在一起，这样就实现了第一基板和第二基板的封装，并形成OLED母板。
如图3(a)所示，在步骤S1中，制作第一基板31和第二基板32。第一基板31和第二基板32中的一个可以为OLED基板，第一基板31和第二基板32中的另一个可以为封装基板，并且第一基板31和第二基板32两者都设置有玻璃胶封装区10。在第一基板31和第二基板32之一上的玻璃胶封装区10上涂布玻璃胶34。如图3(b)所示，将第一基板31和第二基板32对位贴合在一起，然后熔融固化玻璃胶34将第一基板31和第二基板32结合在一起，以制出OLED母板30。这样，OLED母板30包括相互间隔开的多个OLED面板区40，每个OLED面板区40包括显示区20和位于显示区外围的玻璃胶封装区10，如图4所示。
在步骤S2中，可以采用刀轮对OLED母板进行切割以得到分离的OLED面板。刀轮切割的速度可以在100-300mm/s范围内选择。
图5是示出根据本公开实施例的制作OLED面板的方法的切割步骤的示意图。结合图4和图5，显示面板区40包括玻璃胶封装区10和显示区20。在步骤S2中，沿切割线L1对OLED母板30进行切割，切割线L1位于玻璃胶封装区10内并且距离玻璃胶封装区10的外围边缘12向内预定距离d处。此处的“向内”意指沿朝向显示区20的方向。虽然图4和5中示出玻璃胶封装区10位于显示区20两侧，但是，玻璃胶封装区10可以围绕在显示区20的周围。
经实验发现，对切割线L1位置的选择将极大地影响切割效果和封装效果。当在距离玻璃胶封装区10的外围边缘12向内预定距离d处进行切割时，能够保证切割效果 和封装效果。而在其它位置进行切割则会在例如玻璃基板的第一基板和/或第二基板上出现严重裂纹、破损、无法切断等现象，并且不能满足封装测试要求。
可能的原因是，在玻璃胶封装区的不同位置处，玻璃胶与玻璃基板之间的固化程度不同，并且玻璃胶的厚度也不同，从而导致玻璃基板上不同位置处的应力大小不同。因此，通过选择在玻璃胶的预定位置处进行切割，能够避免切割失败和封装失败。
根据一个实施例，发明人发现，当所述预定距离d不大于150μm时，能够在实现良好的切割效果的同时，满足OLED面板封装性能的要求。
根据另一个实施例，在距离玻璃胶封装区10的外围边缘12向内100μm处进行切割时，即当所述预定距离d为100μm时，能够获得更好的切割效果和封装效果。
进一步地，在距离所述玻璃胶封装区10的外围边缘12向内100μm处的玻璃胶的厚度在5-6.5μm之间时，特别是在厚度为5.5μm时，能够获得理想的切割效果和封装效果。
根据另一个实施例，玻璃胶封装区10的宽度(在图5中由“W”示出)可以选择为350-600μm。
对上述实施例制造的OLED面板进行信赖性测试，测试结果如下表1所示。
其中，PCT测试是指在高温、潮湿、高压的特定条件下测试OLED面板的水汽封装性能，THS测试是指在高温、潮湿的特定条件下测试OLED面板的水汽封装性能，剥离测试(peel off测试)是测试在OLED面板的四角上下粘胶并且等待24h后，使用专用装置在OLED面板上下方向上同时施力，OLED面板的上下基板剥离时的最大载荷(kgf)。
表1 OLED面板信赖性测试
Figure PCTCN2017072182-appb-000001
通过上述表1可以看出，在所有测试中，OLED面板的封装性能良好，信赖性满足要求。同时，切割过程中OLED面板切断性好，切割断面肋状纹均匀，无明显裂纹。
因此，根据本公开的上述各实施例的制造OLED面板的方法，由于在玻璃胶封装区上进行切割，能够大幅减小显示面板的边框区的尺寸，实现窄边框的要求；同时，切割线位于所述玻璃胶封装区的外围边缘向内预定距离处，能够有效地减小切割缺陷，满足显示面板的信赖性要求。
应该理解的是，玻璃胶封装区的边缘部分和中心部分固化程度差别较大，边缘部分固化程度较小，玻璃胶厚度较薄，玻璃基板中应力较小，因此，可以选择从玻璃胶封装区的外围边缘向内预定距离处进行切割。并且，根据不同的玻璃胶涂覆方式和固化方式等，上述预定距离可能会有所不同。
根据本公开的另一个实施例，为了进一步保证切割效果和封装效果，在图2所示的OLED母板切割步骤S2之前，还可以包括步骤：S12：沿切割线L1对玻璃胶进行预加热。
具体地，可以采用激光对玻璃胶进行预加热。这样，能够预先消除在固化玻璃胶时在玻璃基板中产生的内应力，从而在切割时能够有效地减小切割缺陷，满足显示面板的信赖性要求。图6是根据本公开的该实施例的制作OLED面板的方法的流程图；以及图7是示出根据本公开的该实施例的制作OLED面板的方法的预热和切割步骤的示意图。
这样，如图6所示，制作OLED面板的方法可以包括步骤：
S1：制作OLED母板，所述OLED母板包括相互间隔开的多个OLED面板区，每个OLED面板区包括显示区和位于显示区外围的玻璃胶封装区；
S12：沿切割线对玻璃胶进行预加热，其中，所述切割线位于所述玻璃胶封装区内且距离所述玻璃胶封装区的外围边缘向内预定距离处；以及
S2：沿所述切割线对所述OLED母板进行切割以得到分离的OLED面板。
图7示出了沿玻璃胶封装区切割的OLED母板的部分截面图。如图7所示，在制作好OLED母板之后，首先，在OLED母板70的下方从第一基板71一侧沿切割线采用激光对玻璃胶73进行预加热，箭头H表示激光加热的方向。然后，在OLED母板70的上方在第二基板72上采用刀轮76沿切割线对OLED面板进行切割，箭头C表示刀轮76切割的方向。第一基板71例如为OLED基板，第二基板72例如为封装基板，或者第一基板71为封装基板，第二基板72为OLED基板。这样，通过在切割之前对玻璃胶进行预加热，可以预先消除在玻璃基板中可能存在的内应力，从而在切割时能够有效地减小切割缺陷，满足显示面板的信赖性要求。
对通过上述方法制作的OLED面板进行类似表1的PCT测试、THS测试和剥离测试，经验证OLED面板均能满足封装性能要求，并且切割效果良好，因此，产品信赖性满足要求。
图6和图7的实施例的其它方面可以与图2-5所示的实施例相同，在此不再赘述。
综上所述，根据本公开各实施例的OLED显示面板的制作方法，在实现窄边框的同时，能够满足产品封装性能、切割性能等信赖性要求。
上述实施例仅例示性的说明了本公开的原理及构造，而非用于限制本公开，本领域的技术人员应明白，在不偏离本公开的总体构思的情况下，对本公开所作的任何改变和改进都在本发明的范围内。本发明的保护范围，应如本申请的权利要求书所界定的范围为准。应注意，措词“包括”不排除其它元件或步骤，措词“一”或“一个”不排除多个。另外，权利要求的任何元件标号不应理解为限制本发明的范围。
