请一并参照图2及3D,本发明实施例的有机发光二极管显示装置的制造方法20的步骤27包含:覆盖一钝化层17在所述图案化金属层261及所述透光导体层15上。在一范例中,所述钝化层17的材质包含氧化硅及氮化硅中的至少一种。在另一范例中,所述钝化层17例如可以包含氧化硅层及氮化硅层中的一种或两种的组合。在又一范例中,所述钝化层17的厚度例如介于1000至5000Å之间。
请一并参照图2及3D,本发明实施例的有机发光二极管显示装置的制造方法20的步骤28包含:形成一平坦层18在所述钝化层17上。
请一并参照图2及3E,本发明实施例的有机发光二极管显示装置的制造方法20的步骤29包含:形成一透光阳极层19在所述平坦层18上,所述透光阳极层19包含:一第一部分191,贯通所述平坦层18与所述钝化层17以电性连接所述源极区141;一第二部分192,位在所述电容区102中且与所述透光导体层15形成一透光电容C;及一第三部分193,位在所述发光区103中。在本步骤29中,所述第一部分191贯通所述平坦层18与所述钝化层17以电性连接所述源极区141。所述第二部分192位在所述电容区102中且与所述透光导体层15形成一透光电容C。所述第三部分193,位在所述发光区103中,作为后续的构件(例如后续形成的有机发光二极管层)的阳极。
要提到的是,由于本发明实施例的有机发光二极管显示装置10的透光电容C由于具有透光的性质,故可避免光线被遮挡,进而增加开口率。
在一实施例中,所述有机发光二极管显示装置10的制造方法还可包含形成其他层状结构的步骤。例如,请参照图1A与3E,在形成所述透光阳极层19后,所述制造方法更包含步骤:形成一像素定义层194在所述透光阳极层19与所述平坦层18上,其中所述像素定义层194暴露所述第三部分193。所述像素定义层194可定义出后续形成的有机发光二极管(organic light emitting diode;OLED)层195的发光区域(即第三部分193)。在一范例中,在形成所述像素定义层19后,所述制造方法更包含步骤:形成一有机发光二极管层195在所述第三部分193上,其中所述第三部分193可作为有机发光二极管层195的阳极。进一步的,在形成所述有机发光二极管层195后,所述制造方法20更包含步骤:形成一图案化阴极层196在所述有机发光二极管层195及所述像素定义层194上,其中所述图案化阴极层196位在所述薄膜晶体管区101与所述发光区103中。具体而言,所述图案化阴极层196不设在所述电容区102的位置,以使光线可自由穿过所述电容区12,进而达成增加开口率的效果。在一实施例中,所述有机发光二极管层195通过所述图案化阴极层196与所述第三部分193分别作为阴极与阳极,进而使所产生的光线朝所述基板11发射(即底发射型OLED)。
这边要提到的是,本发明的有机发光二极管显示装置的制造方法并未额外增加现有工艺中所需的光罩数即可完成。此外,所制得的有机发光二极管显示装置具有透光电容,可改善有机发光二极管显示装置的开口率。
综上所述,本发明的有机发光二极管显示装置,是通过采用透光导体层与透光阳极层以形成透光电容,以改善有机发光二极管显示装置的开口率。另外,本发明的有机发光二极管显示装置的制造方法可在不增加光罩数的前提下改善有机发光二极管显示装置的开口率。
本发明已由上述相关实施例加以描述,然而上述实施例仅为实施本发明的范例。必需指出的是,已公开的实施例并未限制本发明的范围。相反地,包含于权利要求书的精神及范围的修改及均等设置均包括于本发明的范围内。
