Description

OLED显示面板的制作方法 技术领域
本申请涉及显示面板技术领域,尤其涉及一种OLED显示面板的制作方法。
背景技术
这里的陈述仅提供与本申请有关的背景信息,而不必然地构成现有技术。
制备OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode)器件的主要方法有蒸镀法和打印法两种,现在利用全蒸镀方法制备大中小尺寸的OLED显示器件的技术相对于打印技术来说已相当成熟,目前已经用于商业化生产,但全蒸镀技术存在材料利用率低,难用于制备高分辨率的器件的问题。而打印技术制备OLED器件的材料利用率高达90%以上,其制备OLED器件的成本较全蒸镀技术低17%左右,且打印过程中无需掩模板,可用于高分辨率OLED显示器件的制备。
打印技术的制程包括在ITO(Indium Tin Oxides,ITO,氧化铟锡,透明导电薄膜)阳极层图形化后制备像素界定层,形成像素开口,ITO的边缘部分与像素界定层重合。在打印过程中发现,ITO阳极层的表面有部分有机功能墨水材料铺展不开,且有些像素内有微米级的异物颗粒,造成干燥后的有机功能膜层出现边缘且异物处无有机功能膜覆盖,从而引起OLED器件在发光时,出现发光不均、亮点或暗点的mura(显示不均)问题,严重影响了OLED显示面板的显示效果及使用寿命。
综上所述,在OLED显示面板的制作过程中,在发光区的阳极层上打印有机功能层时存在有机功能墨水材料铺展不开导致形成的有机功能膜覆盖不完全,从而引起OLED显示面板的显示效果差及使用寿命短的问题。

如图1所示,示例性的OLED显示面板1制作过程中,像素界定层5在阳极层3上围成像素开口6,像素开口6中的阳极层3上有部分像素界定层残留物10或有其他微米级的异物颗粒,使得在像素开口6中的阳极层3上打印有机功能层7的墨水材料8时部分墨水材料8铺展不开,造成干燥后形成的有机功能膜层出现边缘且有像素界定层残留物10或其他异物颗粒处的阳极层3上无有机功能膜覆盖,从而引起OLED显示面板1出现发光不均、亮点或暗点等显示不均问题。
如图2所示,本申请实施例提供了一种OLED显示面板1的制作方法,包括以下步骤:
S201:提供衬底基板;在衬底基板上形成阳极层。
如图3所示,在衬底基板2上形成阳极层3,具体的,先在衬底基板2上铺一整层阳极层3,再对阳极层3图形化处理,形成相互间隔设置的多个阳极层3图案。
S202:在阳极层上覆盖保护层。
如图3所示,在阳极层3上覆盖保护层4,具体的,现在衬底基板2和形成的阳极层3上覆盖一整层保护层4,再对保护层4图形化处理,使得只有阳极层3上覆盖有保护层4。
S203:在保护层和衬底基板上形成像素界定层;像素界定层在保护层上围成像素开口。
如图3所示,在保护层4和衬底基板2上形成像素界定层5,其中,像素界定层5通过曝光显影技术在保护层4上形成开口,即像素开口6。
S204:对像素开口中的保护层进行刻蚀,以裸露阳极层。
如图3所示,对像素开口6中的保护层4进行刻蚀,使得对应的阳极层3裸露出来。
具体的,阳极层3包括透明导电薄膜(ITO),像素界定层5由光阻材料组成,像素界定层5包括单层像素界定层5、双层像素界定层5、条形像素界定层5等,本实施例以单层像素层为例。
如图3所示,本实施例中,在形成像素界定层5之前,在阳极层3上先覆盖一层保护层4,使得在形成像素开口6的过程中,即使有部分残留物或其他异物颗粒进入像素开口6中,也可以在去除保护层4时一并去除,保证了像素开口6中的阳极层3上没有其他杂质,从而在像素开口6中的阳极层3上打印有机功能层7的墨水材料8时可以完全铺展开,保证了OLED显示面板1的器件发光时发光均匀、无亮点或暗点,提高了OLED显示面板1的显示效果及性能,延长了OLED显示面板1的使用寿命。
具体的,对像素开口6中的保护层4进行刻蚀,以裸露阳极层3,包括:
采用干法刻蚀或湿法刻蚀的方式去除像素开口6中的保护层4,以裸露阳极层3。
本实施例中,根据保护层4的材料类型不同,可以选用干法刻蚀或者湿法刻蚀去除像素开口6中的保护层4,使得阳极层3裸露出来,阳极层3裸露部分形成发光区9。当然保护层4根据材料的类型还可以采用曝光的方式去除。
在一实施例中,保护层4的厚度为1至200纳米,既可以阻挡像素界定层5的材料接触到阳极层3的表面,又不会因为太厚而导致保护层4去除时刻蚀时间过长对像素界定层5的表面造成影响。
在一实施例中,阳极层3的材料为亲水性的导电材料,像素界定层5的材料为疏水性的材料,保护层4的材料为亲水性的材料。
本实施例中,打印的墨水材料8为液体,含有大量的水分,只有阳极层3为亲水性的材料时,墨水材料8打印在阳极层3的表面才能完全铺展开,并且,为了将打印的墨水限制在单个像素开口6中而不与相邻的像素开口6中的墨水材料8相连,像素界定层5的材料为疏水性的材料。保护层4为亲水性的材料可以避免因工艺原因导致的保护层4残留对墨水材料8打印的影响,即使有部分残留,也不会影响墨水材料8在阳极层3上的铺展。
在一实施例中,保护层4包括有机物薄膜或无机物薄膜,使得保护层4的材料可选择的范围广,材料的成本可控。
具体的,有机物薄膜包括亲水性的光阻材料,无机物薄膜包括二氧化硅薄膜或氮化硅薄膜。
在一实施例中,如图3所示,在对像素开口6中的保护层4进行刻蚀,以裸露阳极层3之后,还包括:
在像素开口6中形成有机功能层7。
具体的,有机功能层7包括空穴注入层、空穴传输层、发光层、电子传输层、电子注入层等。
在一实施例中,在像素开口6中形成有机功能层7,包括:
在像素开口6中打印墨水材料8;
将墨水材料8干燥处理,形成有机功能层7。
具体的,墨水材料8包括有机功能层7对应的可以进行打印的溶液材料,有机功能层7是打印的墨水材料8经过干燥制程后形成的膜层。
如图4所示,本申请实施例还提供了一种OLED显示面板1的制作方法,与上述实施例不同的在于,对像素开口6中的保护层4进行刻蚀,以裸露阳极层3,包括:
采用干法刻蚀或湿法刻蚀的方式对像素开口6中的保护层4进行图形化处理,以裸露预设形状的阳极层3。
具体的,如图5至7所示,阳极层3裸露的形状包括方形、圆形(或椭圆形)、平行四边形或五角星形。
对像素开口6中的保护层4图形化处理,一方面,避免了裸露的阳极层3上残留疏水性的像素界定层5,提高了OLED显示面板1的显示效果;另一方面,保护层4图形化处理,使裸露出来的阳极层3呈现不同的预设图形,如图5至图7所示,当然不限于图中列举的几种图形,还可以为其他特定的图形,进而可以获得不同形状的发光区9,可改善OLED显示面板1的视角。另外,相比采用曝光显影技术对像素界定层5图形化处理形成不同形状的发光区9相比,采用干法刻蚀或湿法刻蚀对保护层4图形化,不需要光罩,可以节约生产成本。
综上所述,虽然本申请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申请,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本申请的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本申请的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为准。
