本发明的实施方式
以下各实施例的说明是参考附加的图示,用以例示本发明可用以实施的特定实施例。本发明所提到的方向用语,例如[上]、[下]、[前]、[后]、[左]、[右]、[内]、[外]、[侧面]等,仅是参考附加图式的方向。因此,使用的方向用语是用以说明及理解本发明,而非用以限制本发明。在图中,结构相似的单元是用以相同标号表示。
首先对现有技术进行简要说明。参见图1,图1为现有技术中的显示面板的示意性剖面图。所述显示面板包括:基板112、薄膜晶体管层和发光结构。
所述薄膜晶体管层位于所述基板112上,包括多个薄膜晶体管。每一个所述薄膜晶体管包括:缓冲层116,所述缓冲层116位于所述基板112上;有源区,所述有源区位于缓冲层116上,所述有源区包括沟道区120和位于所述沟道区120两侧的源区122和漏区124;栅极介质层130,所述栅极介质层130覆盖所述有源区;栅极金属层140,所述栅极金属层140覆盖位于所述有源区上方的栅极介质层130;层间介质层150,所述层间介质层150覆盖所述栅极金属层140;源漏金属层,所述源漏金属层位于所述层间介质层150上;平坦化层170,所述平坦化层170覆盖所述源漏金属层和层间介质层150。
所述发光结构位于所述薄膜晶体管层上。所述发光结构包括阳极182、像素定义层190、发光材料层184和阴极186。
所述阳极182位于所述平坦化层170上,并通过通孔与所述源漏金属层160电连接;所述像素定义层190位于所述平坦化层172上,并具有暴露出所述阳极182的通孔;所述发光材料层184位于所述阳极182上;所述阴极186覆盖所述发光材料层184。
参见图1,在现有技术中,对于大尺寸或超大尺寸的显示器,源漏金属层的电阻变的无法忽略。该电阻会消耗电源电压,导致显示面板的亮度不均。
针对上述问题,本发明提供一种显示面板和电子设备,能够有效的降低显示面板中的信号线的电阻。参见图2和图3,图2为本发明的一个具体实施例中的显示面板的示意性剖面图,图3为本发明的一个具体实施例中的显示面板的局部走线的俯视图。
在本实施例中,所述显示面板为有机发光二极管(organiclightemittingdiode, OLED)显示面板。在本发明的其他实施例中,所述显示面板也可以是液晶显示面板或其他类型的显示面板。
参见图2,所述显示面板包括:基板112、薄膜晶体管层和发光结构。
所述基板112可以是刚性基板或柔性基板。刚性基板包括玻璃、金属等,柔性基板可以是各种聚合物,例如聚酰亚胺。
所述薄膜晶体管层位于所述基板112上,包括多个薄膜晶体管,所述薄膜晶体管包括:缓冲层116、有源区、栅极介质层130、第一栅极金属层140、第二栅极金属层142、层间介质层150、源区金属层164、漏区金属层162、平坦化层170。
在本实施例中,所述第一栅极金属层140和第二栅极金属层142之间电绝缘。
所述第一栅极金属层140在所述缓冲层上的投影覆盖所述沟道区120在所述缓冲层上的投影。
所述第二栅极金属层142在所述缓冲层116上的投影覆盖所述漏区金属层162在所述缓冲层116上的投影。优选的,所述第二栅极金属层142的形状和面积与所述漏区金属层162相同。这样设置有两个好处,一方面,由于所述第二栅极金属层142和所述漏区金属层162具有相同的形状,则二者可以通过同一块掩膜版形成,从而降低生产成本。另一方面,所述第二栅极金属层142和所述漏区金属层162的位置和形状对应,二者在所述缓冲层116上的投影重合,实现二者之间电连接的通孔位置可以根据实际任意设置,便于工艺实现。
在本实施例中,所述第一栅极金属层140和第二栅极金属层142为遮光金属层。遮光金属层能够有效的避免外界的光线进入有源区,有效的抑制了有源区的电子跃迁。对于非晶硅薄膜晶体管,遮光金属层能够极大地增强薄膜晶体管的稳定性。
优选的,所述第一栅极金属层140和第二栅极金属层142与所述基板112相邻的表面具有均匀分布的漫反射结构,漫反射结构可以是颗粒状的磨砂表面。在其他实施例中,优选的,所述遮光金属层与所述基板112相邻的表面具有均匀起伏的波浪形结构。所述漫反射结构和波浪形结构能够对光线进行发散和吸收,进一步增强第一栅极金属层140和第二栅极金属层142的遮光效果。
在本实施例中,所述缓冲层116位于所述基板112上。所述缓冲层116为半导体氧化物或氮化物,例如氧化硅、氮化硅等。
在本实施例中,所述栅极金属层130覆盖位于所述第一栅极金属层140和第二栅极金属层142。优选的,所述栅极介质层130覆盖所述第一栅极金属层140和第二栅极金属层142和所述缓冲层116。整体覆盖能够节省形成栅介质层的掩膜版,从而节约成本。
所述有源区包括沟道区120和位于所述沟道区120两侧的源区122和漏区124。所述第一栅极金属层140在所述缓冲层上的投影覆盖所述沟道区120在所述缓冲层上的投影。在其他实施例中,所述第一栅极金属层140在所述缓冲层上的投影覆盖所述沟道区120在所述缓冲层上的投影。优选的,所述第一栅极金属层140在所述缓冲层上的投影面积大于所述沟道区120在所述缓冲层上的投影面积,即所述第一栅极金属层140在所述缓冲层上的投影还覆盖所述源区122与沟道区120相邻的部分边界和漏区124与沟道区120相邻的部分边界。这样的设置能够增强栅控,很好的抑制短沟道效应。
在本实施例中,如图2所示,所述源区金属层164位于所述层间介质层150上,并且通过通孔与所述源区122电连接。所述漏区金属层162位于所述层间介质层150上,并且通过通孔与所述漏区124和所述第二栅极金属层142电连接。
参见图3,图3为本发明的一个具体实施例中的显示面板的局部走线的俯视图。图2中所述第二栅极金属层142所在的A区域为图3中的A区域的对应剖面图。在本实施例中,所述多个薄膜晶体管呈阵列状分布,包括沿第一方向排列的至少一行薄膜晶体管和沿第二方向排列的至少一列薄膜晶体管。同一行的多个薄膜晶体管中的第二栅极金属层142电连接,同一列中的多个薄膜晶体管中的第二栅极金属层142电绝缘。
在本实施例中,所述平坦化层170覆盖所述源区金属层164、漏区金属层162和层间介质层150。
在本实施例中,所述发光结构位于所述薄膜晶体管层上。所述发光结构包括阳极182、像素定义层190、发光材料层184和阴极186。所述阳极182位于所述平坦化层170上,并通过通孔与所述源漏金属层160电连接;所述像素定义层190位于所述平坦化层172上,并具有暴露出所述阳极182的通孔;所述发光材料层184位于所述阳极182上;所述阴极186覆盖所述发光材料层184。
在本实施例中,为了避免金属走线影响所述显示面板的发光效果,所述发光材料层在所述基板112上的投影与所述第一栅极金属层140和第二栅极金属层142不重合。
相应的,本发明还提供了一种电子设备,其包括如前所述的显示面板。
本发明在背栅型薄膜晶体管中的缓冲层中设置了第一栅极金属层和第二栅极金属层,所述第二栅极金属层通过通孔与所述漏区走线层相连,有效的增大了金属走线的面积,减小了信号线的电阻,从而有效的避免了信号线上的压降。同时,所述第一栅极金属层和第二栅极金属层为遮光金属层,避免外界光线射入有源区,从而避免阈值电压漂移。
综上所述,虽然本发明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发明,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为准。
