具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例中所述“上”、“下”以形成层结构的顺序为依据,在先形成的层结构即在下,在后形成的层结构即在上。本公开实施例中所述“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。
目前,打印顶发射OLED显示面板技术正逐渐成为开发OLED显示面板的主流。全打印技术是打印OLED显示面板的技术之一,主要面向大尺寸的Monitor(显示器)或者TV(电视)系列。该技术是指OLED显示面板的所有层都通过打印方式完成,EL(Emitting layer,发光层)只存在于发光区域。
大尺寸的顶发射OLED显示面板多采用辅助阴极,以降低阴极阻抗,满足显示所需的压降要求。但是,目前的技术多采用新增膜层来设置辅助阴极,这样无疑增加了制作工艺的复杂性。
顶发射OLED显示面板中,阴极采用透明导电材料。当电流流经阴极时,由于透明阴极本身的阻抗比较大,因而会产生比较大的压降(IR Drop)。而且,随着显示面板尺寸的增加,阴极的电压降显著增加,从而导致显示的亮度不均匀。因此,大尺寸的顶发射OLED显示面板多采用辅助阴极,以降低阴极阻抗,满足 显示所需的压降要求。
在相关技术中,OLED显示面板包括对盒的盖板和背板,本文中的背板指的是OLED显示基板,参考图1所示,盖板包括盖板衬底101以及形成在盖板衬底101上的黑矩阵102、彩膜层103、平坦层104、辅助阴极105、连接电极106、隔垫物113和填充层108等膜层,其中,连接电极106例如采用ITO(IndiumTin Oxide,氧化铟锡)材料;背板包括背板的衬底112以及形成在背板的衬底112上的像素界定层111、发光层110和阴极109等膜层(当然,背板的衬底上还形成有阳极、薄膜晶体管等其它结构),盖板和背板通过框胶107对盒在一起。
辅助阴极105设计在盖板衬底101上,通过连接电极106与阴极109搭接,实现降低阴极阻抗的目的。但是,在盖板衬底101上制作辅助阴极105,需要新增层别,从而增加了工艺的复杂性;同时搭接的方式对OLED显示面板容易造成比较大的损伤,从而提高了制作难度。
本公开一些实施例提供了一种显示基板,参考图2所示,该显示基板划分为显示区(亦称为Active Area,AA)20和围绕显示区20的非显示区21,显示区20包括:发光区201和非发光区202。

上述第一电极是形成显示基板必不可少的导电结构。其可以是源漏极、栅极、阳极等,还可以是金属线,例如栅线、数据线等,这里具体不限定。第一电极位于显示区,即不限定第一电极在显示区的具体区域,需要根据第一电极的具体结构而定。示例的,若第一电极是位于源漏电极层的数据线,则第一电极可以位于显示区的非发光区;若第一电极是阳极,则第一电极可以位于显示区的发光区。
上述第一辅助阴极位于非发光区,其上设置有像素界定层,即第一辅助阴极位于像素界定层的下方。这里对于第一辅助阴极的形状、数量均不做限定。上述像素界定层(Pixel Definition Layer,PDL)位于除发光区之外的区域,即像素界定层在对应于发光区的位置设置有开口,以利于设置有机发光功能层。

需要说明的是,这里对第二辅助阴极的形状、数量均不做限定。另外,透明阴极、第一辅助阴极和第二辅助阴极三者实现电连接。这里对于电连接的具体方式不做限定。

本公开的实施例提供了一种显示基板,该显示基板中,第一辅助阴极位于非发光区,与第一电极同层设置且相互间隔,这样在制作第一电极时可同时制作第一辅助阴极,不需要新增膜层;第二辅助阴极位于非发光区,与第二电极同层设置且相互间隔,这样在制作第二电极时可同时制作第二辅助阴极,同样也不需要新增膜层;透明阴极、第一辅助阴极和第二辅助阴极三者实现电连接,可以更多地降低透明阴极的阻抗,从而更有效地降低压降,进而提升显示效果;第一辅助阴极和第二辅助阴极形成网状结构,可以极大降低透明阴极的压降,同时极大减轻Cross Talk(串扰)问题,从而显著提高了显示效果,提升了产品质量。即本公开实施例提供的显示基板能够在不新增膜层的前提下设置第一辅助阴极和第二辅助阴极,可以更进一步降低透明阴极阻抗,从而更有效地降低压降,进而更进一步提升显示效果;同时,跟相关技术中的工艺相比,采用背板工艺中的电极层别,没有新增工艺层别,极大降低了制作工艺的复杂性,提高了生产率。
进一步可选的,上述显示基板还包括:保护层,保护层可以至少位于非发光区,且设置在第一辅助阴极和第二辅助阴极之间。
可选的,参考图3所示,第一辅助阴极31包括:多条平行的第一辅助阴极线311,多条第一辅助阴极线311沿第一方向延伸,第二辅助阴极32包括:多条 平行的第二辅助阴极线321,多条第二辅助阴极线321沿第二方向延伸。第一方向与第二方向相交,例如为垂直。第一辅助阴极31和第二辅助阴极32在显示基板的衬底上的正投影呈网状结构(即Mesh结构),参考图8所示,多条平行的第一辅助阴极线311和多条平行的第二辅助阴极线321在显示基板的衬底上的投影呈网状结构。
多条平行的第一辅助阴极线和多条平行的第二辅助阴极线在显示基板的衬底上的投影呈网状结构,该结构制作简单,容易实现。同时,该种结构可以极大降低透明阴极的压降,同时极大减轻Cross Talk(串扰)问题,从而显著提高了显示效果,提升了产品质量。
进一步可选的,参考图5和图6所示,保护层30在对应于第一辅助阴极线311和第二辅助阴极线321的交叠区域设置保护层过孔37,第一辅助阴极线311通过保护层过孔37与第二辅助阴极线321电连接;参考图4和图6所示,像素界定层33在对应于第二辅助阴极线321中与第一辅助阴极线311非交叠的区域设置的第一像素界定层开口330,第一像素界定开口330在衬底上的正投影落入所述第二辅助阴极在衬底上的正投影内,参考图5所示,透明阴极34通过第一像素界定层开口330与第二辅助阴极线321直接接触。本领域技术人员可以理解的是,在图6中仅仅采用矩形框来表示保护层过孔37和第一像素界定层开口330在平面示意图中的位置。
这里对于第一像素界定层开口的数量、大小均不作限定,具体可以根据实际需要确定。图3和图6均以像素界定层在对应于第二辅助阴极线中与第一辅助阴极线非交叠的区域设置三个第一像素界定层开口为例进行绘示。
这里对于保护层过孔的数量、大小均不作限定,具体可以根据实际需要确定。图3和图6均以保护层在对应于第二辅助阴极线中与第一辅助阴极线的一个交叠区域设置一个保护层过孔为例进行绘示。
另外,这里对于保护层的层数和厚度不做限定,图4和图5中,均以保护层包括两个子层为例进行绘示。
上述结构可以实现第一辅助阴极线和第二辅助阴极线电连接、透明阴极与第二辅助阴极线电连接,进而实现透明阴极、第一辅助阴极线和第二辅助阴极线三者电连接。该结构设计简单,容易实现。
可选的,若第一电极位于非发光区,第一电极可以为位于源漏电极层中的数 据线;若第二电极位于发光区,第二电极可以为阳极。
需要说明的是,薄膜晶体管包括源极、漏极和栅极三个电极,上述源漏极是指源极和漏极。一般将源漏极所在层称为源漏电极层(SD层)。
这样,在制作源漏极的同时,可以制作第一辅助阴极;在制作阳极的同时,可以制作第二辅助阴极;从而可以极大地简化制作工艺,降低制作难度。
进一步可选的,参考图7所示,上述显示基板还包括:位于非发光区的电源线(VDD Line)35;电源线、第一电极和第一辅助阴极同层设置,且电源线35与第一辅助阴极311相互间隔。若第一辅助阴极与电源线出现短路,会造成包括该显示基板的显示面板无法点亮的情况,更严重的会烧坏屏幕,因此,将电源线第一辅助阴极同层设置且相互间隔,参考图7所示,第一辅助阴极线311与电源线35平行设置且相距较远,这样可以基本杜绝第一辅助阴极和电源线出现短路的情况,从而极大提高了包括该显示基板的显示面板的良率。需要说明的是,图7是版图设计图,仅示例性地绘示出一种显示基板的结构示意图,图7中每一个像素单元(包括三个子像素R、G、B)由一条电源线35驱动,当然实际中还可以是其它驱动方式,这里不再赘述。另外,本公开设置有辅助阴极的附图中,第一辅助阴极线均是沿OB方向,即第一方向设置,第二辅助阴极线均是沿OA方向,即第二方向设置。
可选的,参考图5所示,保护层30包括:绝缘子层(例如为PVX层)302和位于绝缘子层302之上的平坦子层(例如为Resin层)301。该平坦子层的材料可以是有机材料,平坦子层的厚度可以设置地较厚;该绝缘子层的材料可以是无机材料。这样,电源线与第二辅助阴极出现交叠的区域中,中间设置有平坦子层和绝缘子层,可以有效隔离电源线与第二辅助阴极,确保两者不发生短路,从而更进一步提高包括该显示基板的显示面板的良率。
可选的,参考图9所示,上述显示基板还包括:设置在衬底10上位于非显示区的供电电极41,供电电极41用于向透明阴极34供电。
设置在供电电极41之上的层间介质层(Inter Level Dielectric,ILD)42、第三辅助阴极43、隔离层40和第四辅助阴极44,第三辅助阴极43和第四辅助阴极44均位于非显示区21中,可以理解为供电电极41、层间介质层42、第三辅助阴极43、隔离层40和第四辅助阴极44依次远离衬底10设置。
所述像素界定层33具有第二像素界定层开口331,所述第二像素界定层开口 331在所述衬底10上的正投影落入所述第四辅助阴极44在所述衬底10上的正投影内,所述隔离层40具有穿透所述隔离层40的隔离层过孔403,所述层间介质层42具有穿透所述层间介质层的层间介质层过孔421。
其中,透明阴极34通过像素界定层33的第二像素界定层开口331与第四辅助阴极44直接接触;第四辅助阴极44通过隔离层40的隔离层过孔403与第三辅助阴极43电连接;第三辅助阴极43通过层间介质层42的层间介质层过孔421与供电电极41电连接。
第三辅助阴极与第一辅助阴极同层设置且相互间隔,第四辅助阴极与第二辅助阴极同层设置且相互间隔。
上述供电电极可以是与显示区的栅线同层设置,当然也可以与其它导电膜层同层设置,该供电电极可以与图8所示的外部供电结构(Vss Power)38电连接,用于向透明阴极供电。该外部供电结构38可以是阴极供电芯片或者电源,当然还可以是其它结构,这里不再列举。
上述第三辅助阴极与第一辅助阴极同层设置是指采用相同材料通过一次构图工艺形成第三辅助阴极与第一辅助阴极。
上述第四辅助阴极与第二辅助阴极同层设置是指采用相同材料通过一次构图工艺形成第四辅助阴极与第二辅助阴极。
上述隔离层可以是和保护层同层设置,参考图9所示,隔离层40可以包括第一隔离子层401和第二隔离子层402,第一隔离子层可以是和保护层的平坦子层同层设置,第二隔离子层可以是和保护层的绝缘子层同层设置,这样可以减少制作工艺步骤,节约成本。图9是以隔离层40包括第一隔离子层401和第二隔离子层402为例进行绘示。
这样,在非显示区,透明阴极、第四辅助阴极、第三辅助阴极、供电电极四者实现电连接,进而可以通过供电电极向透明阴极供电。该透明阴极的供电结构中,第三辅助阴极与第一辅助阴极同层设置,第四辅助阴极与第二辅助阴极同层设置,不用额外设置新的膜层,降低了制作成本。
进一步的,上述显示基板还包括位于非发光区的电源线;电源线、第一电极和第一辅助阴极同层设置,且电源线、第一电极均与第一辅助阴极间隔设置。该电源线延伸至非显示区,且与第三辅助阴极同层设置且相互间隔。电源线与第四辅助阴极在显示基板的衬底上的正投影互不交叠。
一方面,由于第三辅助阴极与第一辅助阴极同层设置且相互间隔,且电源线、第一辅助阴极和第三辅助阴极均同层设置,且相互间隔。这样,在非显示区内,第三辅助阴极和电源线不存在跨接或者交叠,可以避免两者发生短路。另一方面,电源线与第四辅助阴极在显示基板的衬底上的正投影互不交叠。这样,在非显示区内,第四辅助阴极和电源线也不存在跨接或者交叠,可以避免两者发生短路。那么,在非显示区内,第三辅助阴极、第四辅助阴极分别与电源线不存在跨接或者交叠,从而避免短路发生,更有效地避免不良的发生,进而保证面板的良率。
