Description

OLED显示面板及其制作方法 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种OLED显示面板及其制作方法。
背景技术
有机发光二极管显示装置(Organic Light Emitting Display,OLED)具有自发光、驱动电压低、发光效率高、响应时间短、清晰度与对比度高、近180°视角、使用温度范围宽,可实现柔性显示与大面积全色显示等诸多优点,被业界公认为是最有发展潜力的显示装置。
OLED按照驱动方式可以分为无源矩阵型OLED(Passive Matrix OLED,PMOLED)和有源矩阵型OLED(Active Matrix OLED,AMOLED)两大类,即直接寻址和薄膜晶体管矩阵寻址两类。其中,AMOLED具有呈阵列式排布的像素,属于主动显示类型,发光效能高,通常用作高清晰度的大尺寸显示装置。
OLED器件通常包括:基板、设于基板上的阳极、设于阳极上的空穴注入层、设于空穴注入层上的空穴传输层、设于空穴传输层上的发光层、设于发光层上的电子传输层、设于电子传输层上的电子注入层、及设于电子注入层上的阴极。OLED器件的发光原理为半导体材料和有机发光材料在电场驱动下,通过载流子注入和复合导致发光。具体的,OLED器件通常采用氧化铟锡(ITO)电极和金属电极分别作为器件的阳极和阴极,在一定电压驱动下,电子和空穴分别从阴极和阳极注入到电子传输层和空穴传输层,电子和空穴分别经过电子传输层和空穴传输层迁移到发光层,并在发光层中相遇,形成激子并使发光分子激发,后者经过辐射弛豫而发出可见光。
如图1所示,现有的OLED显示面板中,为防止室外光线的反射造成对比度下降,一般会在OLED显示面板的出光侧贴附圆偏光片100,外界光线经过圆偏光片100后会变成线偏光,到薄膜晶体管200的反射电极反射后再射出至圆偏光片100时,会变成与圆偏光片100的偏振方向垂直的线偏光,故无法透过圆偏光片100进入人眼,从而确保OLED显示面板在室外的对比度,提高显示效果。其中,所述薄膜晶体管200的反射电极包括:栅极、源极和漏极、与栅极相连的扫描线、以及与源极相连的数据线。 然而,圆偏光片100并不能阻止OLED器件300自身发出的光降低OLED显示面板的对比度,如图1所示,现有的OLED显示面板中,OLED器件300发出的光线并不是全部垂直于衬底基板400出射的,部分光线会从OLED器件300的侧面射出,经过薄膜晶体管200的反射电极反射后,从像素定义层500的非开口区510(对应OLED显示面板的非像素区)射入圆偏光片100,透过圆偏光片100被人眼接收,如此会降低OLED显示面板的对比度,影响显示效果。
