Description

显示面板的制造方法 技术领域
本发明属于显示面板制造技术领域,具体地讲,涉及一种显示面板的制造方法,尤其涉及一种液晶显示面板和有机电致发光显示面板的制造方法。
背景技术
近年来,显示器正朝向轻薄化发展,特别是随着人们对便携式电子产品薄型化要求的不断提高,应用在便携式电子产品中的平板显示器(诸如液晶显示器(LCD)或OLED显示器等)被要求具有越来越薄的厚度以及越来越轻的重量,这样能够改善便携式电子产品的便携性。此外,在电视机等大型电子产品中,轻薄化的显示器可以减小空间占用,并能够给观众更舒适的体验。
在平板显示器中,通常使用玻璃基板作为承载其它显示元件的载体,而在平板显示器中,玻璃基板是占重比最大的元件。为了降低平板显示器的厚度和重量,最有效的方法是降低玻璃基板的厚度和重量。越薄的玻璃越易弯曲,因此生产过程中薄的玻璃基底极易发生下垂(drooping)和翘曲。降低玻璃基板厚度和重量的方法包括:一、通过蚀刻玻璃基板来降低玻璃基板厚度和重量;二、直接使用轻薄的玻璃基板。在第一种方法中,在显示面板被装配好之后,额外执行玻璃蚀刻工艺来降低玻璃基板的厚度和重量,这种方法的不足之处是在玻璃蚀刻工艺中会发生故障,且会大大增加制造成本。在第二种方法中,越轻薄的玻璃基板越容易弯曲,特别是随着玻璃基板的尺寸越来越大,在生产过程中轻薄的玻璃基板极易发生严重的下垂(Drooping)和翘曲,此外在轻薄的玻璃基板的运输过程中,当装载、卸载时即使是小的撞击也会使轻薄的玻璃基板快速翘曲,从而损伤玻璃基板。

附图说明
通过结合附图进行的以下描述,本发明的实施例的上述和其它方面、特点和优点将变得更加清楚,附图中:
图1A至图1E是根据本发明的第一实施例的液晶显示面板的制造方法的制程图;
图2A至图2E是根据本发明的第二实施例的有机电致发光显示面板的制造方法的制程图。
具体实施方式
以下,将参照附图来详细描述本发明的实施例。然而,可以以许多不同的形式来实施本发明,并且本发明不应该被解释为限制于这里阐述的具体实施例。相反,提供这些实施例是为了解释本发明的原理及其实际应用,从而使本 领域的其他技术人员能够理解本发明的各种实施例和适合于特定预期应用的各种修改。
在附图中,为了清楚器件,夸大了层和区域的厚度。相同的标号在附图中始终表示相同的元件。
图1A至图1E是根据本发明的第一实施例的液晶显示面板的制作方法的制程图。
根据本发明的第一实施例的液晶显示面板的制作方法包括:
步骤一:参照图1A,提供一下支撑基板11和一上支撑基板12,并提供具有预定显示面板尺寸的两个下玻璃基板13和两个上玻璃基板14。需要说明的是,上玻璃基板14和下玻璃基板13的数量可以根据实际需求调整,本发明并不两个为限。
这里,下支撑基板11和上支撑基板12可以采用玻璃、陶瓷或金属制成。下支撑基板11和上支撑基板12厚度介于0.5mm至1mm之间。在本实施例中,下支撑基板11和上支撑基板12优选地采用玻璃制成,并且下支撑基板11和上支撑基板12的厚度优选为0.7mm。
具体地,获取具有预定显示面板尺寸的两个下玻璃基板13和两个上玻璃基板14的方法可以是:按照预定显示面板尺寸对大的玻璃板进行切割,以形成所需的两个下玻璃基板13和两个上玻璃基板14。
步骤二:参照图1B,在下支撑基板11上设置彼此间隔开的下玻璃基板13,对应地,在上支撑基板12上彼此间隔开的上玻璃基板14。
这里,下玻璃基板13和上玻璃基板14都较薄,它们的厚度范围介于0.05mm至0.4mm之间,优选地介于0.1mm至0.15mm之间。将较薄的玻璃基板(诸如下玻璃基板13和上玻璃基板14)设置在较厚的支撑基板(诸如下支撑基板11和上支撑基板12)上,可以利用较厚的支撑基板为较薄的玻璃基板提供支撑,减小较薄的玻璃基板两端的下垂和整体的翘曲,从而提升显示面板制造过程中的便利性和精确性。
具体地,在下支撑基板11和上支撑基板12上分别设置下玻璃基板13和上玻璃基板14的方法具体包括两种:一、通过在真空状态下使所述支撑基板与所述玻璃基板彼此接触而贴附在一起,这种情况下,所述支撑基板与所述玻璃基板之间的贴附力为静电力、真空力、表面张力等;二、通过粘附剂将所述支撑基板与所述玻璃基板粘附在一起。
步骤三:参照图1C,在下玻璃基板13上设置支撑球15、阵列层17和焊盘区(bonding区)19,对应地,在上玻璃基板14上设置色阻层16。需要说明的是,还可以在下玻璃基板13和上玻璃基板14上分别设置其它必需的显示元件,这里不再赘述。另外,由于焊盘区19和支撑球15所在区域通常被设置于液晶显示面板的非显示区,这里也可以将焊盘区19与液晶显示面板的非显示区等同。
在本实施例中,支撑球15可例如是Si球,但本发明并不限制于此。
步骤四:参照图1D,对位上支撑基板12和下支撑基板11,使支撑球15抵接上支撑基板12,并在色阻层16和阵列层17之间填充液晶层LC,以完成液晶显示面板的对盒工艺(或称成盒工艺)。
这里,上支撑基板12和下支撑基板11不仅起到保护上玻璃基板14、下玻璃基板13以及上玻璃基板14和下玻璃基板13之间的显示元件的作用,还能在对位和成盒工艺中提升操作的便利性和对位准确度。
此外,支撑球15可以维持上玻璃基板14和下玻璃基板13之间的间距以及上支撑基板12和下支撑基板11之间的间距。支撑球15使得上玻璃基板14和下玻璃基板13之间的框胶(Seal)在固化前具有两侧相同或相近的间距,使其固化后内外边缘厚度相同或相近,减小周边色差的发生。因此支撑球15的尺寸(尤其是高度)要大于框胶(Seal)内支撑球的尺寸。
步骤五:参照图1E,剥离上支撑基板12和下支撑基板11,并将支撑球15去除。
具体地,剥离支撑基板(即上支撑基板12和下支撑基板11)的方法包括两种:一、通过使用氟等对支撑基板进行等离子体处理;二、通过预先在支撑 基板的表面形成突起图案以减小玻璃基板和支撑基板之间的贴附力,通过由预定空气喷射装置(图未示)将空气喷射到支撑基板与玻璃基板之间的空隙而剥离支撑基板。
在由根据本发明的第一实施例所述的制造方法制造的液晶显示面板中,轻薄的上玻璃基板12和下玻璃基板13起到维持液晶显示面板均匀盒厚的作用,并且能够提供平整、光滑的表面触感和显示平面。
图2A至图2E是根据本发明的第二实施例的有机电致发光显示面板的制作方法的制程图。
根据本发明的第二实施例的有机电致发光显示面板的制作方法包括:
步骤一:参照图2A,提供一下支撑基板21和具有预定显示面板尺寸的两个下玻璃基板23。需要说明的是,下玻璃基板23的数量可以根据实际需求调整,本发明并不两个为限。
这里,下支撑基板21和上支撑基板22可以采用玻璃、陶瓷或金属制成。下支撑基板21和上支撑基板22厚度介于0.5mm至1mm之间。在本实施例中,下支撑基板21和上支撑基板22优选地采用玻璃制成,并且下支撑基板21和上支撑基板22的厚度优选为0.7mm。
具体地,获取具有预定显示面板尺寸的两个下玻璃基板23的方法可以是:按照预定显示面板尺寸对大的玻璃板进行切割,以形成所需的两个下玻璃基板23。
步骤二:参照图2B,在下支撑基板21上设置彼此间隔开的下玻璃基板23。
这里,下玻璃基板23较薄,其厚度范围介于0.05mm至0.4mm之间,优选地介于0.1mm至0.25mm之间。将较薄的下玻璃基板23设置在下支撑基板21上,可以利用较厚的下支撑基板21为较薄的下玻璃基板23提供支撑,减小较薄的下玻璃基板23两端的下垂和整体的翘曲,从而提升显示面板制造过程中的便利性和精确性。
具体地,在下支撑基板21上设置下玻璃基板23的方法具体包括两种:一、 通过在真空状态下使下支撑基板21和下玻璃基板23彼此接触而贴附在一起,这种情况下,下支撑基板21和下玻璃基板23之间的贴附力为静电力、真空力、表面张力等;二、通过粘附剂将下支撑基板21和下玻璃基板23粘附在一起。
步骤三:参照图2C,在下玻璃基板23上设置有机发光层27和焊盘区(bonding区)29。需要说明的是,还可以在下玻璃基板23上设置其它必需的显示元件,这里不再赘述。另外,由于焊盘区29通常被设置于有机发光显示面板的非显示区,这里也可以将焊盘区29与有机发光显示面板的非显示区等同。
步骤四:参照图2D,在有机发光层27上设置封装层28,以实现水汽和氧气的隔离。这里,封装层28可以是玻璃盖板,也可以是薄膜封装层。
步骤五:参照图2E,剥离下支撑基板21。
具体地,剥离下支撑基板21的方法包括两种:一、通过使用氟等对下支撑基板21进行等离子体处理;二、通过预先在下支撑基板21的表面形成突起图案以减小下玻璃基板23和下支撑基板21之间的贴附力,通过由预定空气喷射装置(图未示)将空气喷射到下玻璃基板23和下支撑基板21之间的空隙而剥离下支撑基板21。
在由根据本发明的第二实施例所述的制造方法制造的有机电致发光显示面板中,轻薄的下玻璃基板23能够提供平整、光滑的表面触感和显示平面。
虽然已经参照特定实施例示出并描述了本发明,但是本领域的技术人员将理解:在不脱离由权利要求及其等同物限定的本发明的精神和范围的情况下,可在此进行形式和细节上的各种变化。
