为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例或现有技术中的技术方案,下面将对实施例或现有技术描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本发明作进一步地详细描述。
如图2所示,为本发明实施例一中,提供的一种有机发光显示装置,示出了有机发光显示装置中阵列基板为双栅结构的TFT阵列基板时的结构,具体包括:
阵列基板1,该阵列基板1包括像素电极1111以及位于像素电极1111周围的金属连接电极1112和辅助电极122;其中,金属连接电极1112通过阵列基板1上开设的凹孔112与辅助电极122实现电连接;凹孔112位于辅助电极122的上方,并形成有相互连通的第一空腔1121和第二空腔1122,且第一空腔1121自第二空腔1122远离像素电极1111一侧的边缘线起沿远离像素电极1111的方向进行延伸,这样就可以通过扩展凹孔112在阵列基板1水平长度方向上的腔体大小,使得金属连接电极1112和其它的导电物质更有利的进入凹孔112中;
设置于阵列基板1上的像素定义层2;其中,像素定义层2在阵列基板1的凹孔112和像素电极1111的上方分别预留有相应的凹槽21,以便于像素电极1111和金属连接电极1112容纳于像素定义层2所对应的凹槽21内,避免OLED发光器件无法与像素电极1111和金属连接电极1112连接而影响OLED发光器件正常发光;
设置于阵列基板1及像素定义层2上的OLED半导体层3;其中,OLED 半导体层3还覆盖于像素电极1111和金属连接电极1112上,并延伸至凹孔112的第一空腔1121中与辅助电极122实现电连接;以及
设置于OLED半导体层3上的阴极4;其中,阴极4还延伸至凹孔112的第一空腔1121中与辅助电极122实现电连接,并以凹孔112为断点呈不连续连接状态,使得阴极4长度减少来降低阴极4的电阻。
应当说明的是,由于凹孔112中第二空腔1122的腔体直径小于第一空腔1121的腔体直径,且第二空腔1122其远离像素电极1111一侧的边缘线位于第一空腔1121的腔体上方,使得凹孔112的轮廊截面可以呈“L”型或“┴”型等结构,只要满足金属连接电极1112、OLED半导体层3及阴极4都能与辅助电极1112实现电连接的要求就可达到提高OLED半导体层3上阴极4的导电能力的目的,同时因阴极4以凹孔112为断点呈不连续连接,使得阴极4的整体长度得到下降,从而减少了阴极4的电阻。
可以理解的是,辅助电极1112可以是多个金属层级联的方式形成,也可以是单个金属层的方式形成,也不管设置在阵列基板1上的哪一层上,只要凹孔112能够与辅助电极1112相连通,则金属连接电极1112就能通过阵列基板1上开设的凹孔112与辅助电极122实现电连接。
需要解释的是,OLED半导体层3由阳极、空穴注入层、空穴传输层、发光层、电子传输层和电子注入层形成,阴极4对应OLED半导体层3。

覆盖于源极181、漏极182和金属连线183上的平坦层19;其中,平坦层19上开设有贯穿平坦层19上表面并与源极181或漏极182相连通的第五导电孔191,以及与金属连线183相连通的凹孔112;以及

在本发明实施例一中,平坦层19可以是单层结构,也可以是叠层结构。在单层结构的平坦层19中,该平坦层19由有机材料制备而成,此时第五导电孔191、凹孔112的第一空腔1121和第二空腔1122均设置于单层结构的平坦层19上;在叠层结构的平坦层19中,该平坦层19由无机材料制备出的无机钝化层192和由有机材料制备出的有机平坦层193二者叠加而成;此时第五导电孔191贯穿有机平坦层193上下表面并穿入无机钝化层192中,凹孔112的第一空腔1121设置于无机钝化层192上,凹孔112的第二空腔1122设置于位于无机钝化层192上方的有机平坦层193上(如图2所示)。该无机材料为SiOx、SiNx、SiNO之中其一种;该有机材料包括但不限于聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯PMMA和硅氧烷。

应当说明的是,由于凹孔112中第二空腔1122的腔体直径小于第一空腔1121的腔体直径,且第二空腔1122其远离像素电极1111一侧的边缘线位于第一空腔1121的腔体上方,使得凹孔112的轮廊截面可以呈“L”型或“┴”型等结构,只要满足金属连接电极1112、OLED半导体层3及阴极4 都能与辅助电极1112实现电连接的要求就可达到提高OLED半导体层3上阴极4的导电能力的目的,同时因阴极4以凹孔112为断点呈不连续连接,使得阴极4的整体长度得到下降,从而减少了阴极4的电阻。

具体过程为,在步骤S1中,通过物理气相沉积法(PVD)在所选衬底基板的上表面溅镀一层金属形成第一金属层,且进一步通过在第一金属层涂抹光刻胶后采用黄光制程对第一金属层进行曝光形成所需图案,再根据所需图案通过湿法刻蚀和光阻剥离形成底部栅极以及辅助电极。其中,所选衬底基板可以由石英、玻璃或透明塑料之中任一材料制作而成。
在制备出底部栅极以及辅助电极后,通过化学气相沉积法(CVD)在所选衬底基板上表面及其形成的底部栅极和辅助电极上方涂抹并覆盖有一层氮化硅,并继续通过化学气相沉积法在所述氮化硅层上方涂抹并覆盖有一层氧化硅,从而得到叠层结构的缓冲层,即缓冲层为氮化硅膜层以及位于氮化硅膜层上方的氧化硅膜层所形成的叠层结构。
在步骤S2中,通过物理气相沉积法在缓冲层上涂抹金属导电氧化物形成有源层;应当说明的是,金属导电氧化物包括铟镓锌氧化物IGZO或其它金属导电氧化物;
在有源层上方涂抹一层光刻胶后,通过采用半透明光罩(如灰阶光罩或半色调光罩)对光刻胶进行曝光、显影制程,使得光刻胶图形化为所需的光阻图案,使得光阻图案在位于辅助电极的上方具有阶梯状;采用刻蚀气体(如SF6、Cl2、CF4、Ar和NF3等)对光阻图案中未被光刻胶覆盖的区域均进行干法刻蚀制程,形成贯穿有源层上下表面及缓冲层上下表面并与辅助电极相连通的第一导电孔;确定有源层的图案预留区,并采用氧化性气体(如 O2和N2O等)对光阻进行干法刻蚀制程来去除有源层除图案预留区之外区域所对应的光阻;采用刻蚀气体(如SF6、Cl2、CF4、Ar和NF3等)对已去除光阻的有源层除图案预留区之外区域进行干法刻蚀制程,刻蚀掉有源层上除图案预留区之外的区域;继续采用氧化性气体(如O2和N2O等)对有源层图案预留区的光阻进行干法刻蚀制程来去除光阻。
在步骤S3中,通过化CVD在有源层的上方涂抹并覆盖有一层氮化硅形成栅极绝缘层,并在栅极绝缘层上方涂抹一层光刻胶后,通过采用透明光罩对光刻胶进行曝光、显影制程,使得光刻胶图形化为对应栅极绝缘层的图案预留区所需的光阻图案;采用氧化性气体(如O2和N2O等)对光阻进行干法刻蚀制程来去除栅极绝缘层除图案预留区之外区域所对应的光阻;采用刻蚀气体(如SF6、Cl2、CF4、Ar和NF3等)对已去除光阻的栅极绝缘层除图案预留区之外区域进行干法刻蚀制程,刻蚀掉栅极绝缘层上除图案预留区之外的区域;继续采用氧化性气体(如O2和N2O等)对栅极绝缘层图案预留区的光阻进行干法刻蚀制程来去除光阻;
通过PVD在栅极绝缘层的上表面溅镀一层金属形成第二金属层,且进一步通过在第二金属层涂抹光刻胶后采用黄光制程对第二金属层进行曝光形成所需图案,再根据所需图案通过湿法刻蚀和光阻剥离形成顶部栅极,并进一步通过CVD在有源层、栅极绝缘层和顶部栅极上方涂抹并覆盖有一层很厚的氮化硅作为中间电介质层;
在步骤S4中,采用步骤S2中有源层上开设第一导电孔的相同方式,在中间电介质层上开设与第一导电孔相连通的第二导电孔,以及第三导电孔和第四导电孔;待中间电介质层所有开孔完成后,通过PVD在中间电介质层上表面溅镀一层金属形成第三金属层,且第三金属层分别通过第三导电孔和第四导电孔与有源层相连以及通过第二导电孔及第一导电孔与辅助电极相连;
在第三金属层上方涂抹一层光刻胶后,通过采用半透明光罩(如灰阶光罩或半色调光罩)对光刻胶进行曝光、显影制程,使得光刻胶图形化为所需的光阻图案,使得光阻图案在位于第二导电孔、第三导电孔和第四导电孔的上方具有阶梯状;采用腐蚀性溶液(如PPC酸、ENF酸、草酸等)进行湿法刻蚀制程,分别形成对应第三导电孔的源极、对应第四导电孔的漏极和对应第二导电孔的金属连线。
在步骤S5中,通过CVD在源极、漏极和金属连线的上方涂抹并覆盖有一层氮化硅形成无机钝化层,并继续通过CVD在无机钝化层的上方涂抹并覆盖有一层PMMA形成有机平坦层,此时平坦层为无机钝化层和有机平坦层形成的叠层结构;
采用步骤S2中有源层上开设第一导电孔的相同方式,在有机平坦层及无机钝化层上开设贯穿有机平坦层上下表面并穿入无机钝化层中与源极相连通的第五导电孔,以及与金属连线相连通的凹孔;此时,应继续对凹孔沿 远离像素电极的方向进行刻蚀0.1um~2um,使得凹孔形成有相互连通的第一空腔第二空腔;其中,第一空腔设置于无机钝化层上,第二空腔设置于有机平坦层上,该第一空腔是沿远离像素电极的方向延伸出第二空腔远离所述像素电极一侧的边缘线;
在步骤S6中,通过PVD在有机平坦层上表面溅镀一层金属导电氧化物(如ITO/Ag/ITO)形成透明电极层,透明电极层经图案化处理后分别形成为金属连接电极和像素电极;其中,像素电极通过第五导电孔与源极实现电相连;金属连接电极通过凹孔与金属连线连通后再与辅助电极实现电相连;
在步骤S7中、通过CVD在有机平坦层、金属连接电极和像素电极上覆盖一层氮化硅形成像素定义层,并在像素定义层上方涂抹一层光刻胶后,通过采用透明光罩对光刻胶进行曝光、显影制程,使得光刻胶图形化为对应像素定义层的图案预留区所需的光阻图案;采用氧化性气体(如O2和N2O等)对光阻进行干法刻蚀制程来去除像素定义层除图案预留区之外区域所对应的光阻;采用刻蚀气体(如SF6、Cl2、CF4、Ar和NF3等)对已去除光阻的像素定义层除图案预留区之外区域进行干法刻蚀制程,刻蚀掉像素定义层上除图案预留区之外的区域;继续采用氧化性气体(如O2和N2O等)对像素定义层图案预留区的光阻进行干法刻蚀制程来去除光阻,使得像素定义层预留有对应容纳金属连接电极和像素电极的凹槽;
在步骤S8中、通过CVD蒸镀OLED半导体层设置在像素定义层、金 属连接电极和像素电极上,并延伸OLED半导体层至凹孔中与金属连线连通,实现OLED半导体层与辅助电极实现电相连,同时由于凹孔中第一腔体和第二腔体形成的缺口,使得OLED半导体层以凹孔为断点呈不连续连接状态;
在步骤S9中、通过PVD在OLED半导体层上表面溅镀一层金属(如Ag/Mg)形成阴极,并延伸阴极的金属至凹孔中与金属连线连通,实现阴极与辅助电极实现电相连,用以提高阴极的导电能力;同时由于凹孔中第一腔体和第二腔体形成的缺口,使得实现阴极以凹孔为断点呈不连续连接状态,用以降低阴极的电阻。
综上所述,实施本发明实施例,具有如下有益效果:与传统的有机发光显示装置相比,本发明通过阵列基板上开设的凹孔来实现OLED半导体层上的阴极成不连续连接状态,有效的降低阴极的电阻,并使得阴极能延伸至凹孔内与辅助电极实现电连接,从而达到不仅能提高OLED半导体层上的阴极的导电能力,还能减少压降的目的;同时,由于节省了传统有机发光显示装的倒梯形结构柱脚,从而简化了制程工艺,达到省时省力的目的。
以上所揭露的仅为本发明一种较佳实施例而已,当然不能以此来限定本发明之权利范围,因此依本发明权利要求所作的等同变化,仍属本发明所涵盖的范围。
