在所述主体101的外侧设置有第一电极连接端103和第二电极连接端104,将所述第一电极连接端103连接电源的正电极接口,所述第二电极连接端104连接所述电源的负电极接口,此时,所述主体101作为导体,将电能转化为热能,所述主体101电流经过区域均为加热区域,电流的分布取决于导电材料的导电能力,因此,选择导电性能较佳的材料制得的所述主体101具备更佳的加热均匀性。
相比现有技术使用加热丝对所述主体101进行加热,加热丝的分布对所述主体101加热的均匀性起到决定性作用,通常情况下,加热丝分布于所述主体101的外部,通过加热丝先将所述主体101的外表面加热,再通过所述主体101本身的热传递将热量传递至位于所述主体101内部的所述材料腔室102,从加热丝加热所述主体101表面至所述主体101内部的所述材料腔室102,热量在传导过程会有部分消耗,导致所述材料腔室102内的温度难以控制。
所述蒸发源本体还包括一盖体105,所述盖体105盖合于所述主体101表面,所述盖体105与所述主体101上的所述材料腔室102密封结合;所述盖体105远离所述密封腔室的一侧设置有喷嘴106,所述喷嘴106用以将所述材料腔室102内蒸发的蒸镀材料均匀喷洒至目标基板的表面;其中,所述盖体105同样采用高熔点的导电材料制成;设置于所述盖体105表面的所述喷嘴106与所述盖体105采用相同材料且一体成型。
具体的,所述盖体105的外侧设置有第三电极连接端107和第四电极连接端108,将所述第三电极连接电源的正电极接口,所述第二电极连接端104连接所述电源的负电极接口,同理,所述盖体105导入电流产生热量,对粘附于所述盖体105底部的蒸镀材料进行加热二次升华,通过所述喷嘴106排出,避免材料的浪费,同时,所述喷嘴106也产生热量,通过对所述喷嘴106进行加热,可避免蒸镀材料在喷嘴106内凝结而导致喷嘴106堵塞。
所述第一电极连接端103位于所述主体101的第一端部,所述第二电极连接端104位于所述主体101相对所述主体的第一端部的第二端部;在设置所述第一电极连接端103与所述第二电极连接端104时,将所述第一电极连接端103与所述第二电极连接端104设置在所述主体101的两端位置,从而延长所述第一电极连接端103与所述第二电极连接端104之间的距离,电流在所述主体101上的分布范围则更广,从而使得所述主体101的热量分布均匀。
同理,将所述第三电极连接端107位于所述盖体105的第一端部,将所述第四电极连接端108位于所述盖体105相对所述盖体的第一端部的第二端部。
所述第一电极连接端103与所述第三电极连接端107同为正电极,所述第二电极连接端104与所述第四电极连接端108同为负电极;其中,所述第一电极连接端103与所述第三电极连接端107位于所述蒸发源本体的同一侧;所述第二电极连接端104与所述第四电极连接端108位于所述蒸发源本体的同一侧;相对于在所述蒸发源本体同一侧,不同部件的电极连接端具有不同极性,由于异性电极相吸,会改变电流的流向,电流由理想的横向移动改变为纵向移动,导致热量集中在所述蒸发源本体边缘,无法起到均匀加热的效果;通过将同极性的电极连接端设置在同一侧,能够较好的解决上述技术问题。
所述主体101形状接近长方体,所述主体101的第一端部位于所述主体101一端面的中心位置,所述主体101的第二端部位于所述主体101另一端面的中心位置;所述盖体105形状接近长方体,所述盖体105第一端部位于所述盖体105一端面的中心位置,所述盖体105的第二端部位于所述盖体105另一端面的中心位置;同理,将电极连接端设置位于主体101端面的中心,利于电流的均匀分布,进而使得所述主体101各区域热量分布均匀。
为了避免蒸镀材料与所述主体101和所述盖体105的制作材料发生化学反应,在所述材料腔室102内壁与所述盖体105底部涂覆抗反应的涂层109;所述涂层109为Cu(铜),Ti(钛),Al2O3(氧化铝),MgO(氧化镁),BN(氮化硼),Si3N4(氮化硅),PBN(聚晶氮化硼),石墨,石英,陶瓷的一者或两者以上的组合。
如图2所示,本发明还提供一种蒸发源,包括蒸发源本体,所述蒸发源本体包括主体201,所述主体201表面开设有材料腔室202,所述主体201表面设置一盖体203,所述盖体203盖合于所述主体201表面,所述盖体203与所述主体201上的所述材料腔室202密封结合;所述盖体一侧设置有喷嘴204。
所述主体201的第一端部设置第一电极连接端205,所述主体的相对另一端的第二端部设置有第二电极连接端206;所述盖体的第一端部设置第三电极连接端207,所述盖体的相对另一端的第二端部设置有第四电极连接端208。
所述主体201底部中心突出形成一子材料腔室212,所述子材料腔室212一侧设置有第五电极连接端209,所述子材料腔室212相对另一侧设置有第六电极连接端210,所述第五电极连接端209与所述第六电极连接端210极性相反。
所述材料腔室202、子材料腔室212及所述盖体203底部涂覆有抗化学反应的涂层211。
本发明所提供的蒸发源的加热方式,对于不同加热需求可在对应部件上设置正极连接端与负极连接端,从而实现蒸发源本体的均匀加热。
本发明的有益效果为:相较于现有的蒸发源,本发明所提供的蒸发源,自身采用导电材料制成,通过在蒸发源的相应位置设置正、负电极即可实现蒸发源的自发热,进而得到均匀的加热效果,蒸镀制得高品质的膜层;解决了现有技术的蒸发源,坩埚受热不均匀,使得蒸镀腔室内的蒸镀材料受热不均匀,成膜质量欠佳,进而难以生产出高品质的OLED显示面板。
综上所述,虽然本发明已以优选实施例揭露如上,但上述优选实施例并非用以限制本发明,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为准。
