Description
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种OLED显示器及其制作方法。
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显示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显示器件通常采用ITO像素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。
AMOLED显示器包括底发光型OLED显示器(由TFT基板侧出光)与顶发光型OLED显示器(由封装盖板侧出光)两种,由于顶发光型OLED显示器的OLED光源需要穿透阴极,因此必须采用透明阴极或者半透明阴极,现有的透明阴极多使用透明氧化物(TCO),例如氧化铟锌(IZO),透明阴极的厚度范围在100nm~500nm之间,方块电阻在5Ω/□~30Ω/□之间。半透明阴极多使用厚度较薄的金属,例如银(Ag)、镁银合金(MgAg)等,为保持40%以上的光穿透率,半透明阴极的厚度一般控制在10nm~20nm之间,方块电阻在1Ω/□~5Ω/□之间。然而,具有以上电阻值的透明阴极与半
透明阴极只适合在小尺寸显示器中使用,在大尺寸显示器中使用时会因为阴极的方块电阻过高而产生电压降(IR drop),而导致显示器出现亮度不均匀的现象,并且离阴极电压输入端越远的地方亮度越低。另外,无论是发光层发白光的OLED器件(White OLED结构)或者发光层发红绿蓝光的OLED器件(RGB side-by side),都具有一些共通层(common layer),如空穴注入层(HIL)、空穴传输层(HTL)、电子传输层(ETL)、电子注入层(EIL)、及载子产生层(CGL)等,这些共通层均利用开放式掩膜板(Open mask)制作,覆盖所有子像素区域与子像素之间的间隔区域,由于有些共通层的材料的载子传输性较佳,载子会在这些共通层中侧向传导,使共通层产生侧向漏电,当一个子像素点亮时,与其相邻的子像素容易受到该子像素内的电流影响,导致其亮度不可控,从而出现串色现象。
图1为现有的OLED基板的共通层侧向漏电的示意图,如图1所示,该OLED基板中的OLED发光层100为白光发光层,所述OLED基板的所有子像素的OLED发光层100(包括空穴注入层、空穴传输层、发光层、电子传输层及电子注入层)相互连通,呈现为共通层,当OLED发光层100内部出现侧向漏电时,载子在OLED发光层100中侧向移动,从一个子像素移至相邻的子像素中,对相邻的子像素的发光造成影响,导致该相邻子像素的亮度不可控,该OLED基板与彩色滤光片配合实现画面显示时,容易出现串色现象。

另外,对于辅助阴极设于阴极下方的情形,还可以将辅助阴极设置于TFT基板中,与源漏极或者栅极设于同一层,可以更显著地降低阴极50的方块电阻,减轻电压降(IR drop)引起的亮度不均问题,提升显示效果。
