但在印刷技术领域中,为了提高整个透明显示面板的透光性,往往需要牺牲部分发光区作为透光区,进而导致墨水沉积区减小,发光区减小,进而影响显示面板的分辨率,因此印刷技术在获得高分辨透明显示面板中具有较大挑战。

除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本公开的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本公开的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的,不是旨在于限制本发明。本文所使用的术语“和/或”包括一个或多个相关的所列项目的任意的和所有的组合。
如图1-图5所示,本公开一实施方式的像素排列结构10,包括若干个呈多边形的重复单元100。相邻重复单元以边对边的方式设置,以使各重复单元中处于相邻位置且具有相同发光颜色的子像素汇聚在一起,形成规则形状的发光区20。
在一实施例中,重复单元100呈平行四边形,重复单元100沿呈夹角的两个方向重复排列,以形成阵列结构的像素排列结构。
在一实施例中,重复单元100呈矩形,重复单元100沿相互垂直的两个方向重复排列,以形成阵列结构的像素排列结构。
如图1-5中b所示,重复单元100包括2n个像素单元200,其中,n为大于或等于2的整数,且像素单元200围绕重复单元300的中心点设置。
如图1-5中c所示,各像素单元200包括至少三个发光颜色不相同的子像素300,且相邻子像素的发光颜色不相同;各像素单元200内设置有透光区30,且像素单元200中各子像素300围绕透光区30设置,具体地,在一实施例中,各子像素与透光区相邻的边彼此以边对边的方式设置。
在一实施例中,重复单元100中的像素单元200呈中心对称分布,即重 复单元100中像素单元200的数目为偶数,每两个像素单元200呈中心对称排列,且所有像素单元200的对称中心重叠。在一实施例中,各重复单元100中像素单元200的面积和形状相同。在一实施例中,各子像素300的面积和形状相同。
其中,重复单元100中像素单元200的数目无特别限定,可以为大于或等于4的任意偶数,如此能够增加显示面板发光的均一性。
在一实施例中,如图1-5中b所示,所述重复单元100呈平行四边形,重复单元包括沿呈夹角的两个方向划分为2×2的四个像素单元;且重复单元沿所述呈夹角的两个方向重复排列,以形成阵列结构的像素排列结构。
在一实施例中,所述呈夹角的两个方向为相互垂直的两个方向,重复单元沿两个相互垂直的方向重复排列,以形成阵列结构的像素排列结构。在一实施例中,如图1、3-5中b所示,重复单元100呈矩形,每一个重复单元100包括4个像素单元200。在一实施例中,如图3-5中b所示,重复单元100呈正方形,每一个重复单元100包括4个像素单元200,各像素单元200的面积和形状相同。
具体地,如图1、3-5中b所示,重复单元100沿两个相互垂直的方向划分为2×2的四个像素单元200,分别为第一像素单元210、第二像素单元220、第三像素单元230和第四像素单元240,第一像素单元210和第四像素单元240呈中心对称,第二像素单元220和第三像素单元230呈中心对称,且第一像素单元210、第四像素单元240的对称中心与第二像素单元220和第三像素单元230的对称中心重合。如图2中b所示,重复单元100沿两个呈锐角的方向划分为2×2的四个像素单元200,分别为第一像素单元210、第二像素单元220、第三像素单元230和第四像素单元240,第一像素单元210和第 四像素单元240呈中心对称,第二像素单元220和第三像素单元230呈中心对称,且第一像素单元210、第四像素单元240的对称中心与第二像素单元220和第三像素单元230的对称中心重合。
在一实施例中,第一像素单元210、第二像素单元220、第三像素单元230和第四像素单元240的形状为平行四边形。在一实施例中,如图1中c所示,第一像素单元210、第二像素单元220、第三像素单元230和第四像素单元240的形状为矩形。在一实施例中,如图2中c所示,第一像素单元210、第二像素单元220、第三像素单元230和第四像素单元240的形状为菱形。在一实施例中,如图3-5中c所示,第一像素单元210、第二像素单元220、第三像素单元230和第四像素单元240的形状为正方形。
在一实施例中,透光区30的形状为四边形,在一实施例中为平行四边形,如图1-5中a所示,所述透光区30的形状包括菱形、矩形、正方形。在另一实施例中为正方形,以保证墨水沉积面积的同时,保证透光区30的面积。
在一实施例中,像素单元200的子像素300呈三角形或L形。其中,三角形包括直角三角形、等腰三角形、等边三角形等。L形是指包括两个相互垂直的矩形组成,在一实施例中矩形的长宽比为3:1,且两个矩形的长、宽相等,以利于子像素的排列。
本公开中,发光区20是指能够发出特定颜色的光的区域,每个发光区20由相邻的像素单元200中处于邻位的具有相同发光颜色的子像素300组合而成,即每个像素单元200中的一子像素300与相邻的其他所有像素单元200的处于邻位的各一个子像素300组合成一个发光区20。可理解的,每个子像素300对应一个发光单元,且本公开中同一个发光区20的子像素300的发光颜色相同。例如:图1-5中c所示,第一像素单元210、第二像素单元220、 第三像素单元230和第四像素单元240的四个子像素分别为第一子像素310、第二子像素320、第三子像素330和第四子像素340,第一像素单元210的第四子像素340、第二像素单元220的第三子像素330、第三像素单元230的第二子像素320和第四像素单元240的第一子像素310组合成一个发光区20,且第一像素单元210的第四子像素340、第二像素单元220的第三子像素330、第三像素单元230的第二子像素320和第四像素单元240的发光颜色相同。透光区30是指能够透光的区域,该区域无发光单元,能够透光,保证显示面板的透光性。
在一些实施例中,发光区20的形状为平行四边形或十字形,其中,平行四边形在一实施例中为菱形或矩形。
可理解的,发光区的形状与子像素的形状相关。在一实施例中,如图1-4所示,像素单元200中的子像素300的数量为四个,分别为第一子像素310、第二子像素320、第三子像素330和第四子像素340,第一子像素310和第四子像素340以透光区30中心点为中心呈中心对称;第二子像素320和第三子像素330以透光区30中心点为中心呈中心对称。
更进一步地,子像素300的形状为三角形或L形。可理解的,当子像素300形状为三角形,发光区的形状为平行四边形;当子像素300的形状为L形,发光区的形状为十字形。
发光区20的面积可以根据子像素300的面积进行确定,无特别限定。且本公开的发光区20由相邻的像素单元中处于邻位的子像素300组合而成,且同一个发光区内的子像素300的发光颜色相同,因此可以在不增加制备难度的基础上,相对缩小发光区的面积,预留出足够多的透光区,进而实现高分辨透明显示。
各像素单元200中子像素300的发光颜色无特别限定,可以为常用显示单元的颜色组合,例如红、蓝、绿组合。在一实施例中,所述像素单元中至少包括一个红色子像素,一个绿色子像素,一个蓝色子像素。在一实施例中,第一子像素310、第二子像素320、第三子像素330和第四子像素340中有一个子像素的发光颜色为红色、一个为蓝色、两个为绿色,且同一个像素单元中相邻的子像素的发光颜色不相同。上述颜色组合可以使得每个像素单元形成两个显示单元,即红色子像素和蓝色子像素作为公用发光区,增加单位面积显示单元数目,提高显示面板的分辨率。
在一实施例中,如图5所示,像素单元200中的子像素300的数量为三个,三分别为第一子像素310、第二子像素320和第三子像素330,第三子像素330的形状与第一子像素310和第二子像素320共同组成的形状相同。可理解的,第一子像素310和第二子像素320共同组成的形状是指沿第一子像素310和第二子像素320相邻的边拼接而成的形状。
更进一步地,第一子像素310和第二子像素320的形状为L形。更进一步地,第三子像素330的面积为第一子像素310和第二子像素320的面积之和。
在一实施例中,像素单元200的三个子像素300中,有一个子像素的发光颜色为红色、一个为绿色、一个为蓝色。更进一步地,第三子像素330的发光颜色为蓝色,以增大蓝光发光区的面积,提高显示面板的稳定性。
需要说明的是,在本实施例中,相邻子像素300通过像素界定层进行分离,故根据制备方法等的不同,相邻子像素之间的距离(像素界定层的厚度)有所差异,应理解为均在本公开的保护范围内。
上述像素单元排列结构10中,各像素单元200中的所有子像素300围绕 透光区30设置,以保证透光区30的面积,且使像素单元200围绕中心点设置,以保证发光的均一性,每个像素单元200中的一子像素300与相邻的其他所有像素单元200的处于邻位的各一个子像素300组合成一个发光区20,且同一个发光区20的发光颜色相同,如此可以大幅度缩小各子像素的尺寸,进而可以预留足够的透光区,实现透明显示。此外,由于同一个发光区20内的子像素300的发光颜色相同,如此可以将颜色相同的多个子像素结合在一起同时印刷,进而可以成倍地增大墨水的沉积区域,同时还可以保证墨水不会因子像素面积过小而发生溢出,从而在相同的设备精度下,实现高分辨透明显示。
本公开一实施方式的显示面板,包括上述像素排列结构。像素排列结构的结构及其他特征与上述相同,在此不再赘述。上述显示面板可以为电脑显示屏、手机屏、广告牌、游戏屏等。
可理解的,显示面板还可以包括基板3000、像素电极2111、像素界定层2112和透明电极2113等。其中,像素排列结构设置在基板上,像素排列结构各发光区20中的子像素300为发光单元,其至少包括一层光发射层,其还可以包括其他有机功能层,有机功能层包括但不限于空穴注入层、空穴传输层、光发射层、电子注入层、电子传输层、空穴阻挡层、电子阻挡层中一种或多种,根据发光元件的不同,光发射层可以为有机发光层或者量子点发光层。

像素界定层2112层叠在基板3000上,且限定出与上述像素排列结构对应的各发光区20和透光区30。可理解的,发光区20对应像素排列结构中的发光区,透光区30对应上述像素排列结构的透光区。具体地,像素界定层2112在基板上形成若干个像素坑,每一个像素坑对应像素排列结构的各发光区中一个子像素,且用于设置不同发光颜色的子像素的像素坑之间存在一定的间隔,该间隔对应像素排列结构中的透光区30。利用像素坑的排列方式,形成具有上述排列结构的各发光区20和透光区30。
此外,像素电极2111设于基板3000的发光区20上,且像素电极2111的部分边缘区域被像素界定层2112覆盖。像素排列结构的子像素300设于基板3000的发光区20上并覆盖像素电极2111,透明电极2113设于像素排列结构的子像素300和基板3000的透光区30上,像素电极2111可以为Al、Ag、Au或其合金,或ITO/Ag/ITO等叠层导电反射薄膜,像素电极的厚度可以为40-200nm。可理解的,透光区30无像素电极和发光功能的子像素。
其中,像素界定层2112可以为单层结构或多层结构,在此不做特别限定。在一实施例中,像素界定层2112包括亲液性像素界定层2112a和疏液性像素界定层2112b,且亲液性像素界定层2112a靠近基板3000设置。在亲液性像素界定层2112a和疏液性像素界定层2112b上形成像素坑,子像素位于像素坑内,像素坑的侧壁的底部为亲液性像素界定层2112a,顶部为疏液性像素界定层2112b,如此子像素300至少部分与亲液性像素界定层2112a接触。在一实施例中构成子像素300的各功能层总厚度大于亲液性像素界定层的厚度,这样可以在不影响子像素300的发光性能的基础上,有效地控制构成子像素 300的各功能层干燥成膜前的攀爬高度,保证了膜层界面的均一性。
其中,亲液性像素界定层2112a可以由二氧化硅和氮化硅等对溶解有机电致发光材料的溶液有吸引性的材料制备而成,疏液性像素界定层2112b可以由氟化聚酰亚胺、氟化聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯和聚硅氧烷等对溶解有机电致发光材料的溶液有排斥性的材料制备而成,在此不做特别限定。且亲液性像素界定层2112a和疏液性像素界定层2112b可以通过蒸镀工艺等制备而成。
在一实施例中,发光区20的像素界定层2112包括第一像素bank和第二像素bank,第一像素bank具有第一开口,第二像素bank位于第一开口内,并将第一开口分成两个第二开口,且第一像素bank的厚度大于第二像素bank的厚度,且两个像素电极2111分别对应两个第二开口设置,子像素设置在第一开口内,且覆盖两个像素电极。在另一实施例中,第一像素bank由亲液性像素界定层2112a和疏液性像素界定层2112b层叠而成,且亲液性像素界定层2112a靠近基板,第二像素bank由亲液性像素界定层2112a形成。
透明电极2113可以为透明导电金属氧化物、导电金属薄膜、导电石墨烯薄膜或导电碳纳米管薄膜。在一实施例中,透明电极2113为导电石墨烯薄膜,且透明电极2113的厚度为5nm-30nm,以保证透光性。透明电极2113可以采用掩模版(open mask)制备,以简化工艺。透明电极也可采用精细mask制备,其不覆盖透光区,工艺相对复杂,但透光区透光性更高。
需要说明的是,各个不同发光颜色的子像素可以具有对应像素电极,以驱动各种颜色的有机发光单元发光,但透光区不覆盖有像素电极。另外,透光区中也可以覆盖透明像素界定层,仅需能够保证显示面板的透光性即可,在此不做特别限定。
本公开另一实施方式的显示面板的制备方法,包括以下步骤:
S101:提供基板。
可以通过黄光制程在基板上制作驱动电路阵列。
S102:在基板的各发光区内制作图案化的像素电极。
还可以在形成有像素电极的基板的发光区内形成平坦化层。通过形成平坦层可以覆盖驱动电路造成的凹凸不平的表面,有利于后续各层的形成。该平坦层可以采用有机材料,并利用喷墨打印的方法制备而成,在此不做特别限定。
S103:在基板的发光区内制作像素界定层,并限定出若干个像素坑,以形成与上述像素排列结构对应的发光区和透光区。

S104:在像素界定层上的各像素坑内形成子像素的各功能层。
即在像素界定层上的各发光区内形成具有上述像素排列结构的各子像素,具体地,可以采用喷墨打印的方法沉积各功能层,在一实施例中,各功能层层叠在第一像素bank内,并覆盖第二像素bank。
由于上述像素排列结构中,构成同一个发光区的若干个子像素的颜色相同,这样若干个子像素可以一同印刷,不仅可以成倍的增大了墨水的沉积区域,还可以有效地减小各子像素的尺寸的同时保证墨水不会因子像素面积过 小而溢出,从而在相同的设备精度下实现高分辨率显示。
S105:在各子像素及基板的各透光区形成透明电极。
