Description

显示基板及其制备方法 技术领域
本发明的实施例涉及一种显示基板及其制备方法。
背景技术
COA(Color Filter On Array)是一种将彩色光阻(Color Filter)直接制备在阵列基板上的技术,其优点是可以提高开口率、改善产品的对比度,且不存在彩膜基板与阵列基板的对位问题,也降低了液晶盒制成的难度。
图1是一种已知的COA显示基板的结构示意图。如图1所示,该COA显示基板包括:衬底基板1、形成在衬底基板1上方的薄膜晶体管2(Thin Film Transistor,简称TFT)、覆盖薄膜晶体管2和衬底基板1的钝化层4、位于钝化层4上方的彩色色阻12/13/14、覆盖所述彩色色阻12/13/14和所述钝化层4的平坦化层5以及位于平坦化层5上方且对应于像素区域10的显示电极7,其中,显示电极7通过过孔与对应的薄膜晶体管2连接。
由图1可见,由于在像素区域10内存在彩色色阻12/13/14,平坦化层5位于像素区域10的部分的高度明显高于位于非像素区域9的部分的高度,平坦化效果不佳,影响后序其他结构的制备;此外,在制备显示电极7时,由于位于彩色色阻12/13/14上方的平坦化层5膜厚很厚,使得显示电极7与漏极之间有较大的高度差H(高度差近似等于钝化层膜厚、彩色色阻膜厚、位于彩色色阻上方的平坦化层膜厚的三者之和与漏极膜厚的差),当显示电极7通过过孔与漏极连接时,显示电极7位于过孔中的部分容易出现断裂,从而导致显示电极7与漏极连接不良。

为使本领域的技术人员更好地理解本发明的技术方案,下面结合附图对本发明提供的显示基板及其制备方法进行详细描述。
图2为本发明实施例一提供的一种显示基板的制备方法的流程图,图3为采用图1所示制备方法制备出的显示基板的结构示意图,图4a至图4g为制备图3所示的显示基板的中间结构示意图。如图2至图4g所示,该显示基板被划分为非像素区域9和彩色像素区域10,其中,非像素区域9是指不进行像素显示的区域,彩色像素区域10是指能够进行彩色像素显示的区域。该显示基板的制备方法包括以下步骤S1-S6。
步骤S1、在衬底基板的上方且对应于非显示区域的区域内形成薄膜晶体管。
如图4a所示,在衬底基板1的上方且对应于非像素区域9的区域内形成薄膜晶体管2。该衬底基板1可以为玻璃基板或树脂材料基板,该薄膜晶体管2可采用已知的任意一种薄膜晶体管2的制备方法制备而成。例如,薄膜晶体管2可包括:栅极、有源层、源极和漏极,其中,栅极和有源层之间设置有栅极绝缘层3。
本领域技术人员应该知晓的是,虽然未示出,但在制备薄膜晶体管2的过程中同时制备出栅线和数据线。
步骤S2、在薄膜晶体管的上方形成钝化层。
如图4b所示,可在薄膜晶体管2和栅极绝缘层3的上方形成钝化材料薄膜41。可选地,钝化材料为氧化硅(化学式SiOx)、氮化硅(化学式SiNx)、氮氧化硅(SiOxNy)中的至少一种。
需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,可通过沉积、涂敷、溅射等方式来形成薄膜。例如,在步骤S2中,可采用等离子体增强化学气相沉积法(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition,简称PECVD)来形成钝化材料薄膜41。
步骤S3、在钝化层的上方且对应于彩色像素区域的区域内形成彩色色阻。
如图4c所示,本实施例中,可选地,彩色像素区域10可包括:红色像素区域、绿色像素区域和蓝色像素区域。彩色色阻12/13/14(又称为彩色滤光片)例如可包括:红色色阻图形12、绿色色阻图形13和蓝色色阻图形14。在步骤S3中,可采用已知任意一种红色色阻图形的制备方法在红色像素区域制备出红色色阻图形12、在绿色像素区域制备出绿色色阻图形13并且在 蓝色色像素区域制备出蓝色色阻图形14。
步骤S4、在钝化层和彩色色阻的上方形成平坦化层。
如图4d和4e所示,例如,可在钝化层4和彩色色阻12/13/14的上方形成平坦化材料薄膜51,并对平坦化材料薄膜51进行图案化以形成第一过孔8。第一过孔8位于薄膜晶体管2的漏极的正上方,剩余的平坦化材料构成平坦化层5。可选地,平坦化材料薄膜51的膜厚可为:3μm~3.5μm。
可选地,平坦化材料为有机树脂材料。可使用预设的掩膜版对平坦化材料薄膜51进行掩膜、曝光处理,再对曝光处理后的平坦化材料薄膜51进行显影处理,以将位于漏极正上方的平坦化材料去除,形成第一过孔8。
本实施例中,可选地,该显示基板除了包括非像素区域9和彩色像素区域10之外,还包括白色像素区域11。白色像素区域11的设置可有效提升显示面板的亮度,降低整体功耗。在本实施例中,可利用填充于空白区域内的平坦化层5作为白色色阻,这样白色色阻的设置不需要增加一次图案化工艺。
在经过步骤S4之后,平坦化层5位于像素区域的部分的上表面高度明显高于位于非像素区域9和位于白色像素区域11的部分的上表面高度,平坦化效果不佳。
步骤S5、减薄平坦化层位于彩色像素区域中的部分的厚度。
如图4f所示,在步骤S5中,通过对平坦化层5位于彩色像素区域10中的部分进行减薄处理以降低平坦化层5的位于像素区域的部分的上表面高度,使得平坦化层5位于彩色像素区域10中的部分的厚度小于非像素区域9中的部分的厚度,此时可有效改善平坦化层5的平坦性。
可选地,经过步骤S5处理后,平坦化层5位于非像素区域9中的部分的厚度与彩色像素区域10中的部分的厚度的差为2μm~3μm。
例如,经过步骤S5处理后,非像素区域9中的平坦化层的厚度可为:3μm~3.5μm,彩色像素区域10中的平坦化层的厚度可为:0~1.5μm。
步骤S6、在平坦化层的上方形成显示电极,并且使显示电极与薄膜晶体管中的漏极通过过孔连接。
如图3和图4g所示,首先,对钝化材料薄膜41进行一次构图工艺,以在第一过孔8的下方形成第二过孔6,剩余的钝化材料构成钝化层4;然后,在平坦化层5的上方以及第一过孔8、第二过孔6内形成透明导电材料薄膜;接着,对透明导电材料薄膜进行一次构图工艺,以形成显示电极7的图形, 并且使显示电极7通过第一过孔8、第二过孔6与漏极连接。需要说明的是,本发明实施例中的一次构图工艺具体可包括光刻胶涂敷、曝光、显影、刻蚀、光刻胶剥离等步骤。
由于在步骤S5中对平坦化层5位于彩色像素区域10中的部分进行了减薄处理,即:减小了平坦化层5位于彩色色阻上方的部分的膜厚,从而可使得步骤S6中所形成的显示电极7与漏极之间的高度差减小,进而可有效降低显示电极7通过过孔与漏极连接时其位于过孔中的部分出现断裂的风险。
由上述内容可见,本发明的技术方案可有效改善平坦化层5的平坦性并且降低显示电极7断裂的风险。
需要说明的是,本发明的实施例不限于先在平坦化材料薄膜51上形成第一过孔8、再在钝化材料薄膜41上形成第二过孔6。例如,在其他一些实施例中,也可先在钝化材料薄膜41上形成第二过孔6,再在平坦化材料薄膜51上形成第一过孔8。
例如,在步骤S2中,可先在薄膜晶体管2和栅绝缘层3的上方形成钝化材料薄膜41,然后对钝化材料薄膜41进行一次构图工艺以形成第二过孔6,使得第二过孔6与漏极对应设置且与后序形成的第一过孔8连通,剩余的钝化材料构成钝化层4。此时,在步骤S6中,无需再对钝化材料薄膜41进行处理,可直接形成透明导电材料薄膜并对透明导电材料薄膜进行一次构图工艺即可。此外,本发明的实施例也可通过一次图案化工艺在形成第一过孔8的同时完成对彩色像素区域10中的平坦化层5的减薄处理,即:步骤S4和步骤S5可同步进行。图5为采用半色调掩膜版形成第一过孔和对位于彩色像素区域中的平坦化层进行减薄处理的流程图,图6为采用半色调掩膜版对平坦化材料薄膜进行图案化处理时的示意图,如图5和图6所示,形成平坦化层5的过程可包括以下步骤S401-S403。
步骤S401、在钝化层和彩色色阻的上方形成平坦化材料薄膜。
如图6所示,以平坦化材料为可作为负性光刻胶的有机树脂材料为例子进行示例性说明,平坦化材料薄膜51包括:全保留区域、部分保留区域和不保留区域,半保留区域与彩色像素区域10对应,不保留区域(与漏极对应)与待形成第一过孔8的区域对应。
步骤S402、采用半色调掩膜版对平坦化材料薄膜进行掩膜、曝光处理。
仍如图6所示,半色调掩膜版15包括:完全透光区域15a、部分透光区域15c和不全透光区域15b,完全透光区域15a与全保留区域对应设置,部 分透光区域15c与部分保留区域对应设置,不透光区域15b与不保留区域对应设置。
步骤S403、对曝光处理后的平坦化材料薄膜进行显影处理。
剩余的平坦化材料构成平坦化层5,其中,全保留区域中的平坦化材料全部保留,不保留区域的平坦化材料全部去除以形成第一过孔8,彩色像素区域10中的平坦化材料部分保留以实现减薄。
在本实施例中,采用一次图案化工艺以在形成第一过孔8的同时完成对彩色像素区域10中的平坦化层5的减薄处理,可有效减少工艺处理步骤,缩短显示基板的制备周期。
需要说明的是,本实施例中的平坦化材料也可以是可作为正性光刻胶的有机树脂材料,其也可通过一次图案化工艺形成第一过孔8的同时完成对彩色像素区域10中的平坦化层5的减薄处理。具体过程此处不再赘述。
基于相同的发明构思,本发明的实施例还提供了一种通过上述制备方法制备的显示基板,如图3所示,显示基板被划分为非像素区域9和彩色像素区域10,并且包括:衬底基板1、衬底基板1上方且位于非像素区域9的有薄膜晶体管2、形成在薄膜晶体管2上方的钝化层4、形成在钝化层4上方且位于彩色像素区域10内的彩色色阻12/13/14、形成在钝化层4和彩色色阻12/13/14上方的平坦化层5、形成在平坦化层5上方的显示电极7,其中,平坦化层5位于彩色像素区域10中的部分的厚度小于非像素区域9中的部分的厚度,并且显示电极7与薄膜晶体管5中的漏极通过过孔连接。
可选地,平坦化层5位于非像素区域9中的部分的厚度与位于彩色像素区域10中的部分的厚度的差为2μm~3μm。
可选地,平坦化层位于非像素区域9中的部分的厚度可为:3μm~3.5μm,位于彩色像素区域10中的部分的厚度可为:0~1.5μm。
与已知技术相比,本发明实施例的技术方案通过对平坦化层5位于彩色像素区域10中的部分进行减薄处理,使得彩色像素区域10中部分的厚度小于非像素区域9中的部分的厚度,从而能有效改善平坦化层5的平坦性。此外,由于平坦化层5位于彩色色阻12/13/14上方的部分的膜厚减小,可使得显示电极7与漏极之间的高度差H减小,从而可有效降低显示电极7通过过孔与漏极连接时其位于过孔中的部分出现断裂的风险。
可选地,平坦化层5的材料包括:有机树脂材料。
可选地,显示基板还划分有白色像素区域11。
图7为本发明实施例二提供的一种显示基板的制备方法的流程图,图8为采用图7所示制备方法制备出的显示基板的结构示意图,如图7和图8所示,该显示基板为有机发光二极管(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,简称OELD)基板,显示电极7为阳极。本实施例的该显示基板的制备方法除了包括上述实施例一中的步骤S1~S6之外,还额外包括步骤S7a~S10a,对于步骤S1~S6的描述可参见上述实施例一中的内容,下面仅对步骤S7a~S10a进行示例性描述。
步骤S7a、在平坦化层的上方形成像素界定层。
例如,首先,在平坦化层5上形成像素界定材料薄膜,其中像素界定材料可为透明的有机树脂材料;然后,对像素界定材料薄膜进行图案化处理以形成若干个容纳孔,容纳孔与显示电极7对应设置,剩余的像素界定材料构成像素界定层16。
步骤S8a、在容纳孔内形成有机发光层。
在步骤S8a中,例如可采用喷墨工艺在容纳孔内形成有机发光溶液,并对有机发光溶液进行干燥处理,以形成有机发光层17。在本实施例中,有机发光层17在电压作用下发出白光。
需要说明的是,在实际制备过程中,为保证各容纳孔内有机发光溶液的量的一致性以及后序形成的阴极18的平整度,在进行喷墨工艺时,使整个容纳孔内以及像素界定层16的上表面均存在机发光溶液,再经过干燥处理以使得各容纳孔中均填充满有机发光材料且使像素界定层16的上表面存在一层很薄的有机发光材料。
步骤S9a、在有机发光层的上方形成阴极。
例如,在有机发光层17的上方形成透明导电材料薄膜,该透明导电材料薄膜构成阴极18。
步骤S10a、在阴极的上方设置保护基板。
在步骤S10a中,例如,该保护基板19可以为玻璃基板或树脂材料基板,用于对阴极18进行保护。
需要说明的是,在本实施例中,为提升OLED的发光性能,还可在阳极7和有机发光层17之间形成空穴传输层和电子阻挡层,在阴极18和有机发光层17之间形成电子传输层和空穴阻挡层。基于相同的发明构思,本发明实施例提供了一种通过上述制备方法制备的显示基板。如图8所示,该显示基板为OLED基板,该显示基板不但包括衬底基板1、薄膜晶体管2、钝化 层4、平坦化层5、彩色色阻12/13/14和显示电极7,还包括像素界定层16、有机发光层17和阴极18。
像素界定层16位于平坦化层5的上方,像素界定层16上形成有若干个容纳孔,容纳孔与显示电极7对应设置,有机发光层17位于容纳孔内,阴极18位于有机发光层17的上方。
图9为本发明实施例三提供的一种显示基板的制备方法的流程图,图10为采用图9所示制备方法制备出的显示基板的结构示意图。如图9和图10所示,该显示基板为液晶显示基板(液晶显示面板中的阵列基板),显示电极7为像素电极。该显示基板的制备方法除了包括上述实施例一中的步骤S1~步骤S6之外,还额外包括步骤S7b和步骤S8b,对于步骤S1~步骤S6的描述可参见上述实施例一中的内容,下面仅对步骤S7b和步骤S8b进行详细描述。
步骤S7b、在像素电极的上方形成保护层。
在平坦化层5上形成保护材料薄膜,其中保护材料可为透明的有机树脂材料,该保护材料薄膜构成保护层20。
步骤S8b、在保护层的上方形成取向层。
首先,在保护层20上形成取向材料薄膜;然后,对取向材料薄膜进行薄膜取向或光控取向处理,以在取向材料薄膜的表面形成预倾角,剩余的取向材料构成取向层21。
基于相同的发明构思,本发明实施例还提供了一种通过上述制备方法制备的显示基板。参见图10所示,该显示基板为液晶显示基板,该显示基板不但包括衬底基板1、薄膜晶体管2、钝化层4、平坦化层5、彩色色阻12/13/14和显示电极7,还包括:保护层20和取向层21。
保护层20位于平坦化层5的上方,取向层21位于保护层20的上方。
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。
