【具体实施方式】
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅是本申请的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
显示面板是由一块巨大的母板切割而成,本申请的设计思路适应于零排版的母板,即每个显示面板之间的间隔为零或趋近于零,在使用刀轮对该母板进行切割时,可能会造成切割所得的显示面板出现崩边的问题,即在显示面板的边缘出现崩边的情况,而显示面板中所设置的封装胶离边缘较近,因而边缘的崩边会影响到封装胶与基板间的粘附,造成封装失效。为了减小切割的影响,本申请提出一种显示面板母板,通过对切割位置进行薄化设计,以减小切割应力,减小切割造成的不良影响。具体请参阅图1,图1是用于制造本申请显示面板的显示面板母板的结构示意图。
显示面板母板100包括基板母板11、盖板母板12以及封装胶13;基板母板11和盖板母板12对合设置后,二者之间通过封装胶13实现封装。
一般在基板母板11上设置驱动电路、显示单元等,以在基板母板11上形成显示区111;基板母板11用于制得多少个显示面板,即在其上形成有多少个显示区111。另外,围绕显示区111则为非显示区114。
在制得显示面板母板100时,可将封装胶13形成在基板母板11或盖板母板12上,然后将盖板母板12盖合于基板母板11,使得每个封装胶13围绕一个显示区111,实现对显示区111的密封。在当前OLED显示面板的应用中,本实施例中的这种封装方式可以称为Frit(玻璃粉)封装,即封装胶13可采用Frit材料。
对于盖合后形成的显示面板母板100,从各元件的位置关系上来看,显示区111位于封装胶13包围圈的内侧I,而位于封装胶13外侧O的部分则作为最终制得的显示面板的边缘部分,对显示面板母板100进行切割的切割处A-A也是位于封装胶13外侧O的部分。
本实施例中,对切割处A-A采用薄化处理的方式,以减小应力的作用。即对于显示面板母板100,其位于封装胶13外侧O的基板母板11上形成有基板薄化部112,即对基板母板11进行薄化处理,例如可采用刻蚀或激光切除等工艺,使得处理后的基板薄化部112的厚度小于基板母板11原先的厚度,具体来说,薄化部112厚度为原先厚度的40%~80%。在该基板薄化部112进行切割时,即可一定程度的减小应力,减小崩边影响。
并且,当封装胶13距离切割处A-A较近,即显示面板采用窄边框设计,例如两显示面板相邻封装胶13之间的距离范围为0~400μm时,若不进行薄化处理,切割的应力可能影响封装胶13的封装强度,即本实施例中切割处A-A的薄化处理还可减小切割对封装胶13的影响。
采用本实施例的设计思路,切割得到的显示面板的边缘较薄,强度减弱,因而为了保证显示面板边缘的强度,减少薄化部112对封装胶13的影响,本实施例中薄化部112与封装胶13在基板母板11上的正投影相互间隔,且薄化部112的宽度为封装胶13之间宽度的50%~90%。
在封装胶13外侧O,需要同时对基板母板11和盖板母板12进行切割,因而还可进一步在盖板母板12上形成盖板薄化部122。基于本实施例的设计思路,可仅在基板母板11或盖板母板12上形成薄化部,也可在二母板上均形成薄化部。
图1所示即对基板母板11和盖板母板12均进行薄化处理,且两母板上薄化部的形状尺寸相同。薄化部均为凹槽形状,其中,一母板的凹槽开口方向背离另一母板,即对基板母板11和盖板母板12的外表面进行薄化处理,例如刻蚀处理,以形成薄化部。其他实施例中,一母板上所形成的凹槽开口方向也可朝向另一母板。
由于薄化处理可能是在基板母板11或盖板母板12上未形成其他层时进行的,例如将玻璃基板作为基板母板11或盖板母板12时,所提供的玻璃基板即可预先进行薄化处理。而在后续工艺中,需要在玻璃基板上沉积驱动电路及发光单元,为避免薄化后形成的凹槽影响沉积工艺,因此,一般对基板母板11和盖板母板12的外表面进行薄化处理,使得一母板上的凹槽开口方向背离另一母板。
图1所示实施例中,显示面板母板100的切割位置均采用了薄化处理,薄化部可能会在工艺制程中发生断裂。因此还可采用不同方式的薄化处理,使得薄化部具有一定的强度。例如图2和图3所示,图2是用于制造本申请显示面板的显示面板母板的另一种结构示意图,图3是用于制造本申请显示面板的显示面板母板的又一种结构示意图。
例如在图2中,在封装胶13包围圈外侧的基板母板11和/或盖板母板12的薄化部上形成有凸起,以基板母板11为例,其薄化部112上形成有凸起113,即在对基板母板11进行薄化处理时,仅对部分区域进行刻蚀处理,保留部分形成凸起113,以保证薄化部112的强度,即该凸起113的厚度可以是基板母板11原先的厚度。
凸起113仅起到加强薄化部的作用,因而在对母板100进行切割时,切割位置A-A需避开凸起113,以保证切割质量。
在图3中,则采用基板母板11和盖板母板12之间设置缓冲垫14的方式,缓冲垫14位于封装胶13包围圈外侧O,对应薄化部设置,图3的实施例利用缓冲垫14来加强薄化部的强度。缓冲垫14的高度可以是基板母板11和盖板母板12之间空隙高度的一半以上,缓冲垫14可以形成在基板母板11上,也可形成在盖板母板12上;其材料可以是Frit玻璃粉,也可以是有机胶。若为Frit玻璃粉,可以在制造形成封装胶13的同时形成缓冲垫14。
缓冲垫14除了起到加强薄化部的作用,还可用于释放切割应力,即在对母板100进行切割时,刀轮可垫在缓冲垫上,避免崩边问题,可进一步的保证切割质量。由于缓冲垫14也用于承载刀轮的切割,因而为避免其对封装胶13的影响,也将二者设计为相互间隔。
此外,缓冲垫14可以设计为多种形状,如图4所示,图4是图3所示显示面板母板中缓冲垫的结构示意图。其中,缓冲垫14包括靠近盖板母板11的上缓冲部141和靠近基板母板12的下缓冲部142,上缓冲部141的面积小于下缓冲部142的面积。
当刀轮从盖板母板11开始切割时,由于本实施例中下缓冲部142的尺寸较大,因而可进一步的起到支撑作用,且对于图4中(a),上缓冲部141形成凹槽形状,因而在切割时,可用于引导刀轮,更利于刀轮切割过程的稳定性。
本实施例中通过设置薄化部,以保证对显示面板母板100的切割质量,因而薄化部为连续的,即显示面板的切割边缘均形成有薄化部。而缓冲垫14主要用于加强薄化部,因此缓冲垫14可以不是连续的,切割处并不是一定需要有缓冲垫14,对应于一个显示面板,缓冲垫14可以是多个,而多个缓冲垫14可围绕显示区111均匀分布,可参阅图5,图5是图3所示显示面板母板中多个缓冲垫的分布图。
对上述显示面板母板100进行切割,可得到的高切割质量的显示面板,所得到显示面板的结构可参阅图6,图6是本申请显示面板一实施例的结构示意图。其中,显示面板200包括基板21、盖板22以及封装胶23。
对应于上述显示面板母板100的结构,本实施例显示面板200的基板21上定义有显示区211和非显示区214,盖板22通过封装胶23封装于基板21上,封装胶23位于非显示区214,围绕显示区211设置,使得显示区211位于封装胶23包围圈内侧,而在位于封装胶23包围圈外侧的基板21边缘和/或盖板22边缘则形成有薄化部212或222。
其中,显示面板200的结构来源于上述显示面板100母板,例如薄化部212(222)与封装胶23在基板21的正投影可相互间隔,薄化部212(222)占封装胶23到面板边缘距离的50%~90%等,其他不再赘述。
如上述显示面板母板100中薄化部可以采用不同的结构设计,因而切割所获得的显示面板也可有多种结构,如图7和图8所示,图7是本申请显示面板另一实施例的结构示意图,图8是本申请显示面板又一实施例的结构示意图。
图7中,封装胶23包围圈外侧的基板21边缘和/或盖板22边缘的薄化部212或222上分别形成有凸起213或223。
图8中,基板21和盖板22之间还设置有缓冲垫24,位于封装胶23包围圈外侧,且缓冲垫24用于加强薄化部212(222)的强度,因而缓冲垫24对应薄化部212(222)设置,薄化部212(222)与缓冲垫24在基板21的正投影相互重叠。
其中,缓冲垫24的形状及布局与上述显示面板母板100中的类似,不再赘述。此外,由于显示面板200为切割所得,因而切割后该缓冲垫24的外侧面与基板的侧面平齐,切割平齐。
上述切割得到的显示面板200边缘采用薄化设计,可减小切割时产生的应力,避免边缘因切割应力而出现的崩边,继而影响封装效果的问题。并且在显示面板200中还在薄化部设置凸起或缓冲垫,保证薄化部的强度,避免工艺过程中出现断裂。其中,缓冲垫还可在切割时进一步释放切割应力,避免崩边问题。因而本实施例显示面板200具有较高的切割质量,及较好的封装效果。
上述显示面板具体可应用于显示装置中,本申请还提出一种显示装置,请参阅图9,图9是本申请显示装置一实施例的结构示意图。
本实施例显示装置300包括显示面板31,该显示面板31与上述显示面板200类似,具体不再赘述。显示装置300可以为手机、电脑、平板、电视等可实现显示的电子设备。
对于上述显示面板,其制造过程请参阅图10,图10是本申请显示面板的制造方法一实施例的流程示意图。该制造方法包括以下步骤。
S101:提供一基板母板。
所提供的基板母板上定义有多个显示区和多个非显示区,非显示区围绕显示区,且在基板母板上显示面板区域的边缘形成有薄化部。该步骤S101可进一步包括:对基板母板进行薄化处理;在基板母板上形成驱动电路及显示单元以形成显示区。
S102:提供一盖板母板。
盖板母板上设置有多个封装胶,且盖板母板上显示面板区域的边缘也可形成有薄化部。该步骤S102可进一步包括:在盖板母板上形成封装胶。若还需设置缓冲垫以保护薄化部,则本步骤还可包括:在盖板母板上形成缓冲垫。
S103:将盖板母板与基板母板盖合。
将盖板母板和基板母板对位盖合后,每一封装胶位于一非显示区且围绕一显示区设置,显示区位于封装胶包围圈内侧。
S104:沿着薄化部的位置对基板母板和盖板母板进行切割。
在进行切割后,即可得到多个显示面板。
在采用上述方法制造得到的显示面板具有上述图6-图8的结构,即在显示面板的边缘处形成有薄化部,在最后切割得到显示面板时,能够保证显示面板的边缘不出现崩边,继而影响封装效果的问题,其切割质量高,可获得高质量的显示面板,在生产中采用上述方法制造显示面板也可获得较高的产品良率。而采用上述方法制得的显示面板作为产品出售时,薄化部可能被磨掉,因而薄化部被磨掉的显示面板也认为是本申请所保护的范围。
以上所述仅为本申请的实施方式,并非因此限制本申请的专利范围,凡是利用本申请说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构或等效流程变换,或直接或间接运用在其他相关的技术领域,均同理包括在本申请的专利保护范围内。
