Description

OLED封装方法与OLED封装结构 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种OLED封装方法与OLED封装结构。
背景技术
有机发光器件OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode)以其良好的自发光特性、高的对比度、快速响应以及柔性显示等优势,在显示领域、照明领域、智能穿戴等领域有广泛的应用。
随着科学技术的发展,OLED技术成为第三代显示技术的重要候选者,用于手机、电脑、电视等消费类电子。OLED的基本显示原理为:在电场的驱动下,通过载流子的注入和复合使得有机材料发光。OLED可以通过RGB像素独立发光、白光OLED结合彩色滤光膜或者蓝光OLED结合光色转换来实现全彩显示。OLED显示技术可以使屏幕更轻薄,其自发光的特性在野外的傍晚也可以实现较高的对比度,并且能够在不同材质的基板上制造,可以做成柔性显示器。
绿色环保和高效节能的生活方式已成为人们的生活趋势,因此OLED被认为是未来的新兴照明技术。OLED的发光材料为有机半导体,可以控制其发光层的材料性质以产生不同波长的光。OLED是发光柔和的平面光源,其照明可实现轻薄化,如果是在柔性衬底上制作的OLED,则可实现大面积、可弯曲的光源,在家居装饰等方面有潜在的应用。
智能穿戴市场将会是OLED技术发展的一个重要方向。柔性AMOLED(有源矩阵有机发光二极体或主动矩阵有机发光二极体)体积轻薄、可弯曲以及便于携带的性质决定了其在穿戴设备上将有更广的应用空间。OLED显示屏可配备于手环或手表上,既可以实现与手腕完美贴合,同时还可以实现打电话、上网等功能。
此外,OLED在车载音响显示方面、智能家居、航天科技等方面均具有潜在的应用。
OLED与传统的LCD的不同之处在于其无需采用背光灯,通过电子和空穴这两种载流子注入有机薄膜材料并在有机材料复合发光。但是有机材料对水汽和氧气非常敏感,水/氧渗透会大大缩减器件寿命,为达到商业化对于OLED器件使用寿命和稳定性的要求,OLED器件对于封装效果要求 非常高:使用寿命至少在104小时以上,水汽透过率小于10-6g/m2/day,氧气穿透率小于10-5cc/m2/day(1atm)。因此封装在OLED器件制作中处于重要的位置,是影响产品良率的关键因素之一。
现有的OLED器件封装方式主要为玻璃封装,即在封装玻璃上涂覆可以紫外(UV)固化的框胶、镭射封装的玻璃胶(Laser sealing)、或框胶及填充干燥剂(Dam&Fill)后经过固化后为发光器件提供一个相对密闭的环境,在一定时间内可以达到良好的水/氧阻隔能力。
柔性OLED面板是有机发光器件的重要研究方向。近两年,关于柔性OLED器件封装的探索如火如荼,采用等离子体增强化学气相沉积法(PECVD)或者原子层沉积法(ALD)的薄膜封装成为研究热点。但是,柔性OLED器件的封装成本为传统盖板封装器件成本的1~5倍,柔性OLED虽为将来的显示趋势,但是传统平板玻璃封装OLED器件并不会消失。
TFT在有源矩阵驱动显示器件(AMOLED)中发挥重要的作用,一般在显示器件中作为开关器件和驱动器件。紫外光能量高,TFT在光照下会产生载流子,电子或者空穴,当自由载流子浓度增加时,阈值电压(Vth)降低,Vth漂移会直接引起像素发光亮度变化,从而影响整体显示质量。因此TFT的长期稳定性对显示器件十分重要。
对大尺寸器件封装需要加入封装材料(Filler)来提高器件机械性能,另外可消除牛顿环(尤其对顶发光器件,必须消除牛顿环)。目前Filler按照固化方式有两大类:紫外固化(UV curing)与热固化(Thermal curing)。其中,UV curing制程简单,固化时间短,通常为5min~15min,在量产中可缩短生产时间(Tact time);其缺点为:UV光从盖板侧照向器件,在引发Filler固化的同时,引起TFT电性漂移,降低画面整体显示质量。Thermal curing目前市场上的Filler的热固化温度在100℃左右,固化时间长达60min~90min;另外采用的烘箱(Oven)温度均一性对Filler的固化程度也有很大影响,Filler固化不均会造成封装mura(显示器亮度不均匀的现象)。
图1为现有的一种OLED封装制程的示意图,如图1所示,现有的OLED封装结构包括相对设置的TFT基板100与封装盖板200、设于TFT基板100与封装盖板200之间且位于TFT基板100上的OLED器件300、设于TFT基板100与封装盖板200之间并在TFT基板100与封装盖板200之间围成密封空间610的框胶600、以及填充于密封空间610内的封装材料700。
如图1所示,从封装盖板200一侧对封装材料700进行UV固化时,UV光在引发封装材料700固化的同时,会对TFT基板100中的TFT器件的性能造成影响,引起TFT基板100中的TFT器件出现电性漂移,降低画 面整体显示质量。
