具体实施方式
为使本领域技术人员更好地理解本公开的技术方案,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开作进一步详细描述。
可以理解的是,此处描述的具体实施例和附图仅仅用于解释本公开,而非对本公开的限定。
可以理解的是,在不冲突的情况下,本公开中的各实施例及实施例中的各特征可相互组合。
可以理解的是,为便于描述,本公开的附图中仅示出了与本公开相关的部分,而与本公开无关的部分未在附图中示出。
可以理解的是,本公开的实施例中所涉及的每个单元、模块可仅对应一个实体结构,也可由多个实体结构组成,或者,多个单元、模块也可集成为一个实体结构。
名词解释
在本公开中,如无特殊说明,以下技术词语应按照下述的解释理解。
多个结构“同层设置”是指多个结构是由同一个材料层形成的,故它们在层叠关系上处于相同层中,但并不代表它们与基底间的距离相等,也不代表它们与基底间的其它层结构完全相同。相对的,结构“不同层设置”则是指多个不符合以上“同层设置”的条件,而是由不同材料层形成的。
“构图工艺”是指形成具有特定的图形的结构的步骤,其可为光刻工艺。光刻工艺包括形成材料层、涂布光刻胶、曝光、显影、刻蚀、光刻胶剥离等步骤中的一步或多步。当然,构图工艺也可为压印工艺、喷墨打印工艺等其它工艺。
“开口”是指,第一极片原本具有相对完整的规则形状(如矩形),但在部分位置具有缺失(如缺口或孔),从而这些规则形状缺失的位置即为“开口”。
由于像素晶体管的第一极和第二极(即源极和漏极)一般通过连接过孔与其有源层连接,且多数第一极、第二极的电压都与存储电容的电极的电压不同,从而导致交叠的层之间存在电压差。因此,在以上连接过孔的位置,容易造成存储电容与像素晶体管(具体是存储电容的电极与像素晶体管第一极、第二极)之间发生短路不良,降低产品质量。
因此,根据本公开的一个方面,提供了一种显示基板,其包括多个像素区,每个像素区包括设有像素电极的显示区和设有像素电路的驱动区。像素电路包括至少一个像素晶体管,像素晶体管的第一极和第二极分别通过连接过孔与其有源层相连。驱动区中还设有存储电容的第一极片,第一极片与像素晶体管的第一极和第二极在垂直显示基板的方向上绝缘交叠,且在至少部分像素 晶体管的至少部分连接过孔处具有开口。
本公开实施例的显示基板中,存储电容位于驱动区并与像素晶体管交叠,故其面积较大,存储效果好。同时,存储电容的第一极片在对应连接过孔处具有开口,即第一极片与这些连接过孔不交叠或交叠较小,从而降低了第一极片在连接过孔处产生短路等不良的风险,提高了产品质量。
参照图1至图8,对本公开的显示基板进行详细说明。
本公开实施例的显示基板包括多个像素区9,每个像素区9包括设有像素电极921的显示区92和设有像素电路的驱动区91。像素电路包括至少一个像素晶体管,像素晶体管的第一极和第二极分别通过连接过孔2与其有源层相连。
本公开实施例的显示基板包括多个像素区9,每个像素区9为一个能独立进行显示的最小单元,即为一个子像素。参照图1,显示基板上还可设有多条栅线GATE和多条数据线DATA,栅线GATE与数据线DATA相互绝缘且具有交叉,而每个像素区9即为一个由两条相邻栅线GATE与两条相邻数据线DATA围成的区域。其中,各像素区9均可位于显示基板的有效区(AA区)中,显示基板还可包括用于将引线引出的扇出区(Fanout区,即图1的顶部区域)等,在此不再详细描述。
在显示基板中,还可包括用于为各像素区9供电的第一电源线VDD、第二电源线VSS等结构,但在图1中,为清楚表示像素区9与栅线GATE、数据线DATA的关系,故第一电源线VDD、第二电源线VSS没有示出。
参照图1、图3,每个像素区9包括显示区92和驱动区91。显示区92中设有像素电极921,通过用数据电压(灰阶电压)驱动像素电极921,可使显示区92显示所需内容。而驱动区91中则设有用于驱动显示区92进行显示的像素电路。
像素电路包括至少一个晶体管(像素晶体管),这些像素晶体管的源极和漏极(即第一极和第二极)是通过过孔(连接过孔2)与其对应的有源层连接的。
在驱动区91中,还设有存储电容C的第一极片C1,第一极片C1与像素晶体管的第一极和第二极在垂直于显示基板的方向上绝缘交叠,且在至少部分像素晶体管的至少部分连接过孔2处具有开口C11。
也就是说,像素区9中还设有存储电容C,且存储电容C的一个极片(第一极片C1)有至少部分位于驱动区91中,且与像素晶体管的第一极和第二极有交叠,从而第一极片C1的面积较大,可提高存储电容C的存储性能。在一个示例中,如图3所示,第一极片C1覆盖整个驱动区91。
同时,在至少部分第一极、第二极对应的连接过孔2处,第一极片C1具有开口C11,从而第一极片C1与这些连接过孔2不交叠或交叠面积较小,故可降低第一极片C1在连接过孔2处发生短路的概率,提高产品质量。
可选的,该显示基板还包括基底5。开口C11在基底5上的正投影覆盖其对应的连接过孔2在基底5上的正投影。进一步的,开口C11在基底5上的正投影的面积大于其对应的连接过孔2在基底5上的正投影的面积,并进一步使得开口C11在基底5上的正投影的面积大于连接过孔2中数据线或电源线等与有源层的接触面积。
参照图3、图5、图6,开口C11优选是完全覆盖其对应的连接过孔2的,从而保证第一极片C1与连接过孔2完全不交叠。进一步的,开口C11更优选超出其对应的连接过孔2,从而更好的避免短路。
可选的,开口C11包括:位于第一极片C1边缘的凹口;和/或,位于第一极片C1内部的通孔。
根据位置的不同,开口C11的具体形式也是不同的,当其位于第一极片C1边缘时,开口C11为从第一极片C1边缘向内凹的凹口(如图中4中左侧的三个开口C11);而当开口C11位于第一极片C1内部时,其则为贯穿第一极片C1的通孔(如图中4中靠近右侧的开口C11)。
可选的,对应有开口C11的连接过孔2的坡度角α为锐角。进一步的,对应有开口C11的连接过孔2的坡度角α在45度至75度之间。
参照图5,连接过孔2的坡度角α即其侧壁与基底5所在平面间的夹角。其中,至少对应有开口C11的连接过孔2,其坡度角α是锐角,更进一步是45度至75度之间的锐角。
过孔的坡度角α与该过孔形成时的工艺参数有关。当过孔的坡度角α较大时更容易造成过度刻蚀,因此更容易造成在过孔位置形成导线接触层,增加该过孔位置处与不同层的导电层之间发生短路的可能性。
因此,经研究发现,在连接过孔2处使用锐角形式的坡度角α,可进一步降低连接过孔2处发生短路的概率。
可选的,像素晶体管的第一极和第二极同层设置,且位于像素晶体管的有源层远离基底5一侧;第一极片C1位于像素晶体管的有源层靠近基底5一侧。
也就是说,参照图5、图6,像素晶体管的第一极和第二极可位于有源层上方,故它们是通过位于自身下方的连接过孔2与有源层连接的。同时,第一极片C1则位于有源层下方。而这样的第一极片C1与连接过孔2更容易发生短路,故更适于采用本公开实施例的开口C11。
根据本公开实施例的一种方式,第一极片C1与像素电极921电连接,像素电极921为发光器件L的第一电极,发光器件L的第二电极连接第二电源线VSS。像素晶体管包括开关晶体管T1和驱动晶体管T2。其中,开关晶体管的栅极T13连接栅线GATE,第一极T11连接数据线DATA,第二极T12电连接驱动晶体管的栅极T23。驱动晶体管的第一极T21连接第一电源线VDD,第二极连接像素电极921。
可选的,发光器件L为有机发光二极管。
也就是说,参照图3,像素电路具体可为通过开关晶体管T1控制数据电压的写入,并通过控制驱动晶体管的栅极T23的电压 控制发光器件L的发光亮度的形式,此时发光器件L可为有机发光二极管(OLED),其第一电极(像素电极921)可为阴极或阳极中的一者,第二电极为另一者。
应当理解,图3中示出的是以上像素电路的最基本的形式(2T1C),即像素电路至少包括开关晶体管T1和驱动晶体管T2这两个像素晶体管,以及一个存储电容C。但如果像素电路中还包括其它的像素晶体管等结构,也是可行的。
根据以上像素电路,存储电容的两极中,应当有一极与像素电极921电连接(或者说驱动晶体管的第二极T22),另一极则与开关晶体管的第二极T12(或者说驱动晶体管的栅极T23)电连接。此时,存储电容C的第一极片C1属于与像素电极921电连接的那一极。
可选的,第一极片C1在对应以下至少一个连接过孔2处具有开口C11:开关晶体管的第一极T11的连接过孔2;开关晶体管的第二极T12的连接过孔2;驱动晶体管的第一极T21的连接过孔2。
可见,第一极片C1与开关晶体管的第一极T11和第二极T12,以及与驱动晶体管的第一极T21均不直接连接,因此这三个极T11、T12、T21的电压通常与第一极片C1的电压不同,更容易与第一极片C1发生短路。因此,参照图3,第一极片C1优选在对应这三个极T11、T12、T2的连接过孔2处设有开口C11(当然最更优选是在对应这三个极T11、T12、T2的连接过孔2处同时设有开口C11)。
可选的,作为本公开实施例的一种形式,第一极片C1与驱动晶体管的第二极T22的连接过孔2绝缘交叠。
由于第一极片C1与像素电极921电连接,故其与驱动晶体管的第二极T22也是电连接的,二者的电压理论上应当随时相同,故二者间发生短路的概率较小。因此,可参照图3和图6,第一极片C1在对应驱动晶体管的第二极T22的连接过孔2处没有开口,而是与驱动晶体管的第二极T22的连接过孔2绝缘交叠,以增大第一极片C1的面积。
可选的,作为本公开实施例的另一种形式,第一极片C1在对应驱动晶体管的第二极T22的连接过孔2处具有开口C11。
也就是说,虽然第一极片C1与驱动晶体管的第二极T22发生短路的概率相对较小,但为了更彻底的避免短路,故参照图8,第一极片C1在对应驱动晶体管的第二极T22的连接过孔2处也可具有开口C11。
可选的,存储电容C还包括:与开关晶体管的第二极T12电连接的第二极片C2,第二极片C2与第一极片C1在垂直显示基板的方向上绝缘交叠以形成第一子电容。
参照图6,第一极片C1必须与其它极片交叠才能形成电容,根据以上像素电路,第一极片C1可与第二极片C2交叠,而该第二极片C2与开关晶体管的第二极T12(或者说驱动晶体管的栅极T23)电连接。并且,如图6所示,第二极片C2与像素晶体管的有源层同层设置。
可选的,存储电容C还包括:与第一极片C1电连接的第三极片C3,第三极片C3与第一极片C1不同层设置而与像素晶体管的第一极和第二极同层设置。第三极片C3与第二极片C2绝缘交叠形成第二子电容。
在本实施例中,可增设与第一极片C1不同层设置的第三极片C3,该第三极片C3与第一极片C1电连接,故从电学上第一极片C1与第三极片C3的电压相同。同时,参照图7,沿垂直显示基板的方向上,第三极片C3与第一极片C1分别位于第二极片C2电的两侧并与其交叠,故可在不增大存储电容C总面积的情况下,提高其电容值。
可选的,对应有开口C11的连接过孔2处的有源层的边界角β为锐角。
如图6所示,有源层的边界角β是指有源层的侧壁与基底5所在平面间的夹角。
如图6所示,基于同样的原因,有源层的边界角β的角度较大也容易造成过度刻蚀,增加不同层的导电层之间发生短路的可 能性,故有源层(如开关晶体管的有源层T14和驱动晶体管的有源层T24)至少在对应有开口C11的连接过孔2附近的刻蚀边界角β为锐角(当然,基于工艺的原因,同一个有源层在各位置的边界角β通常是相同的)。
进一步的,对应有开口C11的连接过孔2的坡度角α为锐角;且满足(α+β)/2>min(α,β)>1/4α,其中坡度角α和边界角β是同一个对应有开口C11的连接过孔2处的相应角度。
参照图6,同一个对应有开口C11的连接过孔2(如驱动晶体管的第一极T21对应的连接过孔2)处,连接过孔2的坡度角α和有源层(如驱动晶体管的有源层T24)的边界角β均为锐角,且满足以上的公式(α+β)/2>min(α,β)>1/4α,如此可以保持刻蚀速率较快且满足降低连接过孔2位置处层间短路的可能性的要求。
当然,应当理解,参照图5至图7,以上显示基板中,还可包括其它已知的结构。例如,发光器件L的发光层和第二电极(图中未示出)、隔绝开关晶体管的栅极T13与第一极片C1的第一绝缘层61、隔绝开关晶体管的栅极T13与有源层T14(也包括驱动晶体管的有源层T24)的第二绝缘层62、隔绝各有源层与各第一极/各第二极的第三绝缘层63、隔绝各第一极/各第二极与像素电极921的第四绝缘层64等。
当然,应当理解,参照图5至图7,以上显示基板中的部分不同结构可同层设置。例如,栅线GATE可与开关晶体管的栅极T13同层设置,第二极片C2可与各有源层同层设置(第二极片C2可进行导体化处理),第三极片C3、各第一极/各第二极、数据线DATA、第一电源线VDD等可同层设置等。
当然,应当理解,以上显示基板中,两个结构若电连接,则可通过不同的方式实现:
第一种方式,参照图5至图7,若两个结构不同层设置,则可通过过孔电连接。例如,开关晶体管的第二极T12可通过过孔与第二极片C2电连接,且参照图3,第一极片C1在该过孔处还 可设有开口C11;再如,第三极片C3可通过过孔连接第一极片C1,像素电极921可通过过孔连接第三极片C3,从而实现第一极片C1、第三极片C3、像素电极921三者的相互电连接。
第二种方式,参照图5至图7,若两个结构同层设置,则它们可直接连为一体。例如,开关晶体管的第二极T12可直接与驱动晶体管的栅极T23连为一体;再如,驱动晶体管的第二极T22可直接与第三极片C3连为一体,从而最终实现驱动晶体管的第二极T22、第一极片C1、第三极片C3、像素电极921四者的相互电连接。
当然,应当理解,虽然以上以一种具体的像素电路(有机发光二极管像素电路)为例进行了介绍,但本公开实施例也适用于其它像素电路,如用于液晶显示(LCD)的像素电路等,在此不再详细描述。
参照图1至图8,根据本公开的一个方面,还提供一种上述显示基板的制备方法。该显示基板的每个像素区包括设有像素电极的显示区和设有像素电路的驱动区。像素电路包括至少一个像素晶体管。像素晶体管的第一极和第二极分别通过连接过孔与其有源层相连。存储电容的第一极片位于驱动区中,第一极片与像素晶体管的第一极和第二极在垂直于显示基板的方向上绝缘交叠,且第一极片在对应至少部分连接过孔处具有开口。
具体的,对参照图3所示的显示基板,如图9所示,其制备方法可包括以下步骤。
S301、通过构图工艺在基底上形成第一极片C1。该第一极片C1与待形成的像素晶体管的第一极和第二极在垂直于显示基板的方向上绝缘交叠,且第一极片在至少部分连接过孔处具有开口。
S302、通过构图工艺第一极片C1和暴露的基底上形成第一绝缘层61。

S306、通过构图工艺在开关晶体管的有源层T14、驱动晶体管的有源层T24和第二极片C2上形成第三绝缘层63。
S307、通过构图工艺在第三绝缘层63上形成开关晶体管的第一极T11、开关晶体管的第二极T12、驱动晶体管的第一极T21、驱动晶体管的第二极T22、驱动晶体管的栅极T23、数据线DATA、第一电源线VDD和第三极片C3。其中,第三极片C3与第一极片C1通过连接过孔连接,并且与驱动晶体管的第二极T22连接。第二极片C2与第三极片C3在垂直于基底的方向上绝缘交叠以形成第二子电容。开关晶体管的第二极T12与驱动晶体管的栅极T23连接。开关晶体管的第一极T11与数据线DATA连接。驱动晶体管的第一极T21与第一电源线VDD连接。
S308、通过构图工艺在开关晶体管的第一极T11、开关晶体管的第二极T12、驱动晶体管的第一极T21、驱动晶体管的第二极T22、驱动晶体管的栅极T23、数据线DATA、第一电源线VDD、第二电源线VSS和第三极片C3上形成第四绝缘层64。
S309、通过构图工艺在第四绝缘层64上形成像素电极921(第一电极)。该像素电极921通过连接过孔与第三极片C3连接。
S310、通过构图工艺在像素电极921上形成发光层。
S311、通过构图工艺在发光层上形成第二电极。该第二电极与第二电源线VSS通过连接过孔连接。
上述方法以开关晶体管为底栅型,驱动晶体管为顶栅型为例进行说明,但本公开不限于此。
根据本公开的一个方面,提供了一种显示装置,其包括上述的显示基板。
具体的,该显示装置可为液晶显示面板(LCD)、有机发光二极管(OLED)显示面板、电子纸、手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
可以理解的是,以上实施方式仅仅是为了说明本公开的原理而采用的示例性实施方式,然而本公开并不局限于此。对于本领域内的普通技术人员而言,在不脱离本公开的精神和实质的情况下,可以做出各种变型和改进,这些变型和改进也视为本公开的保护范围。
