Description

OLED显示屏及其制备方法 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种OLED显示屏及其制备方法。
背景技术
现有的智能手机在显示屏11外围包括较宽的上下左右边框(Border)12,如图1A所示。由于较宽的边框区的存在,导致手机整体的屏占比偏低,影响用户的使用体验效果。随着智能手机朝着全面屏的方向快速发展,屏占比要求越来越高,出现如刘海屏(Notch)设计方案,仅仅在手机的“前额”开设U形开孔13预留空间给前置摄像头,其余地方均为显示区域14,如图1B所示。
近年来OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)显示技术的快速发展,推动曲面和柔性显示触控产品迅速进入市场,相关领域技术更新也是日新月异。OLED是指利用有机半导体材料和发光材料在电场驱动下,通过载流子注入和复合导致发光的二极管。
技术问题
OLED显示屏的发光(EL)器件膜层主要是利用开放掩膜板(Open Mask)采用蒸镀的方式来实现。然而现有的Open Mask为中间整面开孔的方式来限定蒸镀区域,因此,OLED显示屏的显示区( Active Area)内会蒸镀到诸如空穴注入层(HIL)、空穴传输层(HTL)、发光层(EL)、电子传输层(ETL) 以及电子注入层(EIL) 等发光功能膜层以及阴极(Cathode)、覆盖层(Capping Layer)、阳极修饰层(LiF)等金属/有机/无机膜层。
随着显示行业超窄边框和全面屏的市场需求增加,针对该需求的半导体封装技术也不断发展。目前,薄膜封装(Thin Film Encapsulation,以下简称TFE)是OLED显示屏的常用封装技术。然而,由于TFE的封装可靠性要求,在TFE层边缘下方不允许存在由于蒸镀的功能膜层,否则切割后,水汽、氧等会通过切割的断面的有机蒸镀膜层渗透进OLED显示屏内部,影响OLED显示屏封装的可靠性。
因此,如何确保OLED显示屏内开孔位置无EL功能膜层/阴极/TFE层等膜层,提高薄膜封装在OLED显示屏内开孔位置处的封装可靠性,成为亟待解决的问题。
技术解决方案
本发明的目的在于,提供一种OLED显示屏及其制备方法,可以提高薄膜封装在OLED显示屏内开孔位置处的封装可靠性。
为实现上述目的,本发明提供了一种OLED显示屏的制备方法,包括如下步骤:提供一TFT 阵列基板,所述TFT阵列基板上的显示区内具有待开孔区域;通过采用两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,分别对所述TFT阵列基板进行蒸镀,以在所述待开孔区域之外的所述TFT阵列基板上形成有机发光器件的各膜层,其中,采用精细金属掩膜板蒸镀所述有机发光器件的发光材料,所述精细金属掩膜板在对应所述待开孔区域不开孔,所述拼接的边界位于所述OLED显示屏的像素电路的间隙位置处;对所述TFT阵列基板进行薄膜封装;对所述待开孔区域进行开孔。
为实现上述目的,本发明还提供了一种OLED显示屏的制备方法,包括如下步骤:提供一TFT 阵列基板,所述TFT阵列基板上的显示区内具有待开孔区域;通过采用两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,分别对所述TFT阵列基板进行蒸镀,以在所述待开孔区域之外的所述TFT阵列基板上形成有机发光器件的各膜层;对所述TFT阵列基板进行薄膜封装;对所述待开孔区域进行开孔。
为实现上述目的,本发明还提供了一种OLED显示屏,所述OLED显示屏的制备方法包括如下步骤:提供一TFT 阵列基板,所述TFT阵列基板上的显示区内具有待开孔区域;通过采用两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,分别对所述TFT阵列基板进行蒸镀,以在所述待开孔区域之外的所述TFT阵列基板上形成有机发光器件的各膜层,其中,采用精细金属掩膜板蒸镀所述有机发光器件的发光材料,所述精细金属掩膜板在对应所述待开孔区域不开孔;对所述TFT阵列基板进行薄膜封装;对所述待开孔区域进行开孔。
有益效果
本发明OLED显示屏在整个发光膜层蒸镀过程中,显示区内的待开孔区域处始终不被蒸镀到任何发光功能膜层、阴极等膜层,从而提高薄膜封装在待开孔区域处的封装可靠性。且在显示区内对应摄像模组的位置开设一个圆形孔,从而使智能移动设备的“前额”进一步变窄,比刘海屏(Notch)设计方案更接近全面屏,可以实现更大的屏占比。

关于步骤S21:提供一TFT 阵列基板,所述TFT阵列基板上的显示区内具有待开孔区域。所述TFT 阵列基板上除EL器件膜层的各膜层结构已制作好,例如,所述TFT 阵列基板包括依次层叠制作在基板衬底上的阻挡层(M/B)、缓冲层(Buffer)、有源层(Act)、栅绝缘层(GI)、栅极层(GE)、、介电绝缘层(ILD)、源漏极层(SD)、平坦层(PLN)以及阳极(ANO)等,本发明对此不做具体限定。所述TFT阵列基板上的所述待开孔区域位于显示区内,且所述待开孔区域处相应膜层已除去,形成初步开孔。
关于步骤S22:通过采用两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,分别对所述TFT阵列基板进行蒸镀,以在所述待开孔区域之外的所述TFT阵列基板上形成有机发光器件的各膜层,请一并参考图2以及图3-5。本发明通过采用两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式替代原本显示区整面开孔的开放掩膜板。两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接,分别对所述TFT阵列基板进行蒸镀有机发光器件(EL)的各膜层(包括HIL/HTL/ETL/EIL等EL功能膜层,Cathode/ Capping Layer/LiF 等金属/有机/无机膜层),从而确保整个EL各膜层蒸镀过程中,待开孔区域处始终不被蒸镀到任何EL膜层。
采用两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,包括:采用横向两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行横向对半拼接;或,采用纵向两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行纵向拼接;或,采用在所述待开孔区域具有相同预设倾斜角度的两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行斜向拼接;其中,定义所述OLED显示屏的宽度方向为横向,定义所述OLED显示屏的长度方向为纵向。
如图3所示,在本实施例中,采用两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,具体为:采用横向两个半边开放掩膜板31、32在所述待开孔区域30进行横向对半拼接,也即采用左右对半拼接的方式。其中,定义所述OLED显示屏的宽度方向为横向X,定义所述OLED显示屏的长度方向为纵向Y。优选的,所述拼接的边界39位于所述OLED显示屏的像素电路的间隙位置处,这样可以防止由于边界处膜层厚度不均匀导致所述OLED显示屏的光学和显示异常。
如图4所示,在本实施例中,采用两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,具体为:采用纵向两个半边开放掩膜板41、42在所述待开孔区域40进行纵向拼接,也即采用上下拼接的方式。其中,定义所述OLED显示屏的宽度方向为横向X,定义所述OLED显示屏的长度方向为纵向Y。优选的,所述拼接的边界49位于所述OLED显示屏的像素电路的间隙位置处,这样可以防止由于边界处膜层厚度不均匀导致所述OLED显示屏的光学和显示异常。
如图5所示,在本实施例中,采用两个半边开放掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,具体为:采用在所述待开孔区域59具有相同预设倾斜角度θ的两个半边开放掩膜板51、52在所述待开孔区域59进行斜向拼接,也即采用一定角度斜向拼接的方式。优选的,所述拼接的边界59位于所述OLED显示屏的像素电路的间隙位置处,这样可以防止由于边界处膜层厚度不均匀导致所述OLED显示屏的光学和显示异常。
优选的,步骤S22中进一步包括:采用精细金属掩膜板(FMM)蒸镀所述有机发光器件的发光材料,其中,所述精细金属掩膜板在对应所述待开孔区域不开孔。利用整面小孔的精细金属掩膜版蒸镀R/G/B发光材料,在对应所述待开孔区域所述精细金属掩膜板不开孔,阻挡相应发光材料蒸镀到TFT阵列基本上,确保整个EL各膜层蒸镀过程中,待开孔区域处始终不被蒸镀到任何EL膜层。
关于S23:对所述TFT阵列基板进行薄膜封装;可以通过化学气相沉积 (Chemical Vapor Deposition,以下简称CVD)掩膜板在在待封装的所述TFT阵列基板上沉积无机膜层,无机膜层可以起阻隔水氧的作用。需要说明的是,可以通过CVD的方式形成无机膜层,也可以通过化学镀、溅射沉积、物理气相沉积等其它方式形成无机膜层,本发明对此不进行特殊限定。
具体的,本发明对所述TFT阵列基板进行薄膜封装可以通过CVD掩膜板在所述OLED显示屏的显示区整面开孔并沉积无机膜层,并采用干法刻蚀的方式将所述待开孔区域的所述无机膜层除去,以防止后续在所述待开孔区域进行切割过程中产生裂纹(Crack),影响封装可靠性。
优选的,本发明对所述TFT阵列基板进行薄膜封装还可以采用两个半边CVD掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,分别对所述TFT阵列基板进行无机膜层沉积,以完成对所述TFT阵列基板的薄膜封装并在所述待开孔区域无所述无机膜层沉积。采用两个半边化学气相沉积掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,包括:采用横向两个半边化学气相沉积掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行横向对半拼接;或,采用纵向两个半边化学气相沉积掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行纵向拼接;或,采用在所述待开孔区域具有相同预设倾斜角度的两个半边化学气相沉积掩膜板在所述待开孔区域进行斜向拼接;其中,定义所述OLED显示屏的宽度方向为横向,定义所述OLED显示屏的长度方向为纵向。采用两个半边CVD掩膜版在所述待开孔区域进行拼接的方式,分别沉积无机膜层,从而使得所述待开孔区域无相应的无机膜层。优选的,所述拼接的边界位于所述OLED显示屏的像素电路的间隙位置处。具体拼接结构可参照图3-5所示,此处不再赘述。
关于S24:对所述待开孔区域进行开孔;可以通过激光切割方式对待开孔区域进行开孔。优选的,所开孔为圆形开孔,也即在显示区内对应摄像模组(Camera)的位置开设一个圆形孔,从而使智能移动设备的“前额”进一步变窄,比刘海屏(Notch)设计方案更接近全面屏,可以实现更大的屏占比。
本发明还提供一种采用上述OLED显示屏的制备方法制成的OLED显示屏。参考图6,本发明OLED显示屏在显示区内采用圆形开孔的示意图,所述OLED显示屏采用本发明项所述的制备方法制成,在所述OLED显示屏的TFT阵列基板整个EL各膜层蒸镀过程中,圆形开孔区域处始终不被蒸镀到任何EL膜层,提高薄膜封装的封装可靠性。对应所述圆形开孔61位置(圆形开孔61下方)为摄像模组(Camera),,其余地方均为显示区域62,使智能移动设备的“前额”进一步变窄,比刘海屏(Notch)设计方案更接近全面屏,可以实现更大的屏占比。
