具体实施方式
相关技术中,显示面板包括显示区域和围绕显示区域的边框区域,通常用于与IC绑定的接线端子(PAD)设置在显示面板的边框区域。而全屏无边框的显示产品,可以使用户获得更好的观看体验,日益受到用户的青睐。
为了实现无边框显示,相关技术中提出通过基板的正反面工艺实现无边框显示技术,即正面为像素驱动电路的背板设计,反面为绑定端子设计,通过在基板上设置通孔,再在通孔中填入金属实现正反面信号的连接。
由于基板的正反两面均存在电路结构的设计,因此在制作完一面的电路结构以后,需要将基板进行翻转,以制作另一面的电路结构。此时,制作有电路结构的一面需要与机台载台接触,并且需要经过多个工艺段的机台载台的吸附及传送,会导致与机台载台接触一面上已制作的电路结构膜层刮伤严重。
其中,相关技术中的阵列基板的结构如图1所示,包括:基板01,位于基板01正面的各膜层结构,包括电极02,用于与微型发光器件连接;而基板1的反面包括绑定结构03,用于与柔性电路板等进行绑定。为在制作反面电 路结构之前对正面膜层结构进行保护,通常会在整面膜层结构上方贴附保护膜04,并在反面电路结构制作完成后,再翻转基板撕除该保护膜04,以进行微型发光器件的绑定。但是,该种方式保护膜04会与电极02等存在粘连影响使用性能,并且需要配套的撕膜设备,会增加生产成本。
需要说明的是,图1仅作为相关技术中一种可能的阵列基板实施例进行说明,针对其具体结构在此不作具体限定。
基于相关技术中存在的上述问题,本公开实施例提出了阵列基板、其制作方法、显示面板及显示装置。为了使本公开的目的,技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面结合附图,对本公开实施例提供的阵列基板、其制作方法、显示面板及显示装置的具体实施方式进行详细地说明。应当理解,下面所描述的优选实施例仅用于说明和解释本公开,并不用于限定本公开。并且在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。

附图中各部件的形状和大小不反应真实比例,目的只是示意说明本公开内容。
具体地,本公开实施例提供了一种阵列基板的制作方法,包括:
提供一衬底基板;
在该衬底基板的第一表面形成电极结构,该电极结构被配置为与发光器件电连接;
在该电极结构背离衬底基板一侧形成覆盖衬底基板的第一保护结构;
翻转衬底基板;
在该衬底基板的第二表面形成绑定端子,其中,第二表面与第一表面相对设置;
再次翻转衬底基板,对第一保护结构进行构图,暴露出电极结构。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,首先,在衬底基板的第一表面形成与发光器件电连接的电极结构,并在该电极结构上形成第一保护结构,以在翻转后使第一保护结构与承载机台接触,对衬底基板的第一表面的电极结构进行保护,在衬底基板的第二表面制作完绑定端子之后,再次翻转该衬底基板,使衬底基板的第二表面与承载机台接触;然后,对第一保护结构进行构图,以暴露被覆盖的电极结构,从而便于之后与发光器件电连接。通过该制作方法,既对衬底基板第一表面的电极结构进行了保护,以免对电极结构产生损伤,也无需对第一保护结构进行撕除,简化了制作工艺的同时,也节约了生产成本。
本公开实施例说描述的发光器件,可以为微型发光二极管芯片,如Micro LED芯片或μLED芯片或Mini LED芯片。
其中,在电极结构与衬底基板之间还设置有用于向电极结构提供驱动信号的驱动像素电路,该驱动像素电路的结构及布局与相关技术中的驱动像素电路的结构及布局相同,如驱动像素电路的结构可以如图2所示,包括:第一晶体管T1,该第一晶体管T1的栅极与发光控制端EM电连接,第一晶体管T1的第一极与第一参考电压信号端VDD电连接,第一晶体管T1的第二极与驱动晶体管DT的第一极电连接;第二晶体管T2,该第二晶体管T2的栅极与发光控制端EM电连接,第二晶体管T2的第一极与驱动晶体管DT的第二极电连接,第二晶体管T2的第二极与第四晶体管T4的第一极电连接;第三晶体管T3,该第三晶体管T3的栅极与第二扫描控制端G_B电连接,第三晶体管T3的第一极与第二数据信号端D_B电连接,第三晶体管T3的第二极与第四晶体管T4的栅极电连接;第四晶体管T4,该第四晶体管T4的第二极与 发光器件L的阳极电连接,该发光器件L的阴极与第二参考电压信号端VSS电连接;第五晶体管T5,该第五晶体管T5的栅极与第一扫描控制端G_A电连接,第五晶体管T5的第一极与第一数据信号端D_A电连接,第五晶体管T5的第二极与驱动晶体管DT的第一极电连接,驱动晶体管DT的栅极与第一电压信号端V1电连接,第一电压信号端V1提供的栅极信号生成用于驱动发光器件L的驱动电流;第一电容C,该第一电容C的第一电极与第四晶体管T4的栅极电连接,第一电容C的第二电极与第二电压信号端V2电连接,第二电压信号端V2接地端GND。驱动像素电路在衬底基板上的布局可以如图3a中所示,当然,上述图2和图3a所示的驱动像素电路的结构和布局仅作为其中一个实施例进行说明,具体驱动像素电路的结构及布局在此不作具体限定。
需要说明的是,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,采用先制作衬底基板的第一表面的像素驱动电路和电极结构,然后再制作衬底基板的第二表面的绑定端子,是由于位于衬底基板的第一表面的膜层数目较多,每个膜层需要经过多道工艺形成,从而需要经过多个工艺段的承载机台的吸附及传送;而位于衬底基板的第二表面的膜层数目较少,其工艺过程相对于第一表面上的结构的制作简单。若先制作衬底基板第二表面的各膜层,再制作第一表面的各膜层,第二表面的各膜层则需要经过多个工艺段的承载机台的吸附及传送,从而会造成第二表面的各膜层的严重损伤。因此,采用先形成衬底基板的第一表面的各膜层,再形成第二表面的各膜层。
其中,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,优选在衬底基板的第一表面的一侧形成第一保护结构,是因为位于衬底基板的第一表面的像素驱动电路及电极结构的图形尺寸均较小,出现轻微的损伤即可能对显示性能产生较大的影响。
可选地,在本公开实施了提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,在电极结构背离衬底基板一侧形成第一保护结构,具体包括:
在电极结构背离衬底基板一侧形成多个第一隔垫物,第一隔垫物在衬底 基板上的正投影与电极结构在衬底基板上的正投影互不重叠;
在第一隔垫物背离衬底基板一侧形成第一保护膜。
如图4和图5所示,为了使第一隔垫物31不对各电极结构2产生遮挡,保证正常显示的同时提高显示面板的分辨率,可以将第一隔垫物31设置在相邻子像素的间隙区域处,其中,可以在每相邻两行或两列子像素之间均设置第一隔垫物31,也可以间隔两行/列子像素设置第一隔垫物31,当然也可以间隔多行/列子像素设置第一隔垫物31。其中图4所示的结构是以一个子像素需要两个电极结构2进行驱动为例进行说明的,当然一个子像素只需一个电极结构2进行驱动的情况,也在本公开的保护范围内。
需要说明的是,图4和图5所示第一隔垫物与电极结构之间的相对位置关系,仅作为一种实施例进行说明,即是以第一隔垫物进行规律排列进行说明,其他第一隔垫物在衬底基板上的正投影与电极结构在衬底基板上的正投影互不重叠的情况,包括第一隔垫物不规则排列的情况也在本公开的保护范围内,在此不作具体限定。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,该第一保护结构包括第一隔垫物和第一保护膜,该第一隔垫物的设置可以使衬底基板的第一表面的各膜层与承载机台之间保持一定的距离,以避免颗粒物对各膜层产生损伤,该第一保护膜的设置可以覆盖各膜层所在的区域,对衬底基板第一表面的各膜层进行全面的保护。
需要说明的是,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,该第一隔垫物在衬底基板上的正投影需要与电极结构在衬底基板上的正投影互不重叠,以免对电极结构进行遮挡。若将该第一隔垫物设置为与电极结构存在交叠,不仅给之后的对第一保护结构的构图造成困难,还会影响发光器件的设置。
在具体实施时,第一保护结构也可以仅包括第一保护膜,具体如何选择可根据衬底基板实际所处的环境,及对面板的设计参数来确定,在此不作具体限定。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,将第一保护结构置于背离承载机台的一侧,并对第一保护结构进行构图,具体包括:
对第一保护膜进行构图,以暴露电极结构的至少部分表面。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,由于第一隔垫物与电极结构不存在交叠区域,仅第一保护膜对电极结构进行覆盖,因此,通过对第一保护膜进行构图,即可暴露电极结构的至少部分表面,以使该电极结构与发光器件进行绑定,向发光器件提供驱动电流。
下面以图3a至图3e为例对上述实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法进行说明:
如图3a所示,提供一衬底基板1,将该衬底基板1放置于承载机台10上,并在该衬底基板1上依次形成对应的像素驱动电路,以及位于像素驱动电路上,且与该像素驱动电路电连接的电极结构2;
其中,该像素驱动电路可以包括半导体层P,栅极层(G1/G2),源漏电极层(SD/DA/VDD/VSS),以及位于上述相邻膜层之间的绝缘层,其中,仅是以图3a所示的像素驱动电路的结构为例进行说明,在此并不对像素驱动电路的结构进行具体限定。
如图3b所示,在电极结构2上依次形成第一隔垫物31和第一保护膜32,其中,包括对第一隔垫物31的构图过程,在此不再详述。
如图3c所示,将衬底基板1进行翻转,使该第一保护膜32与承载机台10接触。
如图3d所示,在衬底基板1的第二表面形成绑定端子4;
需要说明的是,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,在采用驱动芯片进行驱动时,则无需在绑定端子4与衬底基板1之间设置栅极驱动电路GOA,驱动芯片可以直接向各栅线提供驱动信号;而如图3d所示,在绑定端子4与衬底基板1之间设置有栅极驱动电路GOA,该栅极驱动电路GOA与绑定端子4电连接,以接收所绑定的柔性电路板提供的信号,该栅极驱动电路GOA还与衬底基板1的第一表面设置的栅线存在电连接,具体可以通过设置过孔 或周边走线的方式实现。具体采用何种方式进行驱动可根据实际使用情况进行选择,在此不作具体限定。
如图3e所示,将衬底基板1进行再次翻转,使绑定端子4与承载机台10接触,对第一保护膜32进行构图,以暴露电极结构4的至少部分表面,形成如图4所示的阵列基板。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,为了对衬底基板的第二表面的各膜层进行保护,在再次翻转衬底基板之前,该制作方法还包括:
在绑定端子背离衬底基板一侧形成第二保护结构。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,在暴露出电极结构以后,还需要在电极结构对应的位置制作或者绑定相应的发光器件,因此,还需要经过多个承载机台的移动和吸附的过程,可能对衬底基板的第二表面已经形成的各膜层产生损伤,通过在绑定端子上设置第二保护结构,可以对衬底基板位于第二表面的各膜层进行保护,从而提高衬底基板的第二表面的各膜层的使用性能。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,在绑定端子背离衬底基板一侧形成第二保护结构,具体包括:
在绑定端子背离衬底基板一侧形成第二隔垫物,第二隔垫物在衬底基板上的正投影与绑定端子在衬底基板上的正投影互不重叠;
在第二隔垫物上形成第二保护膜;
对第二保护膜进行构图,以暴露绑定端子的至少部分表面。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中,在形成完绑定端子之后,可以在绑定端子上依次形成第二隔垫物和第二保护膜,并通过对第二保护膜进行构图,暴露绑定端子,以便于绑定端子与柔性电路板等进行绑定。
基于同一发明构思,如图4所示,本公开实施例还提供了一种阵列基板,包括:
衬底基板1;
电极结构2,电极结构2位于衬底基板1的第一表面,该电极结构被配置为与发光器件电连接;
绑定端子4,绑定端子4位于衬底基板1的第二表面,第二表面与第一表面相对设置;
第一保护结构3,第一保护结构3位于电极结构2背离衬底基板1一侧,第一保护结构3暴露电极结构2的至少部分表面。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,通过第一保护结构的设置,可以在衬底基板的第一表面朝向承载机台时,对位于衬底基板的第一表面上的各膜层进行保护,以免使各膜层产生损伤。并且该第一保护结构存在第一开口区域,可以暴露电极结构的至少部分表面,以便该电极结构与发光器件进行绑定,从而不必对该第一保护结构进行撕除,简化了制备工艺的同时,也节约了生产成本。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,如图4所示,该第一保护结构3包括:
位于电极结构2背离衬底基板1一侧的多个第一隔垫物31,以及位于第一隔垫物31背离衬底基板1一侧的第一保护膜32;
第一隔垫物31在衬底基板1上的正投影与电极结构2在衬底基板1上的正投影互不重叠;
第一保护膜32具有第一开口区域,电极结构2在衬底基板上的正投影至少覆盖第一开口区域在衬底基板上的正投影,即暴露出电极结构2的部分表面。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,通过该第一隔垫物的设置,可以使衬底基板的第一表面的各膜层与承载机台之间保持一定的距离,以避免颗粒物对各膜层产生损伤,该第一保护膜的设置可以覆盖各膜层所在的区域,对衬底基板第一表面的各膜层进行全面的保护。
在本公开提供的另一些实施例中,第一保护结构3也可以只包括第一保 护膜,第一保护膜的材料为有机树脂,第一保护膜32具有第一开口区域,以暴露出电极结构2的部分表面。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,第一隔垫物的高度的取值范围在1μm~30μm;
第一保护膜的厚度的取值范围在1μm~5μm。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,该第一隔垫物的高度可根据该阵列基板所处的环境,如在制作过程中承载机台可能存在较大的颗粒物时,需要将第一隔垫物的高度设置的高一些,如可设置为在20μm~30μm之间,以保证产品的良率;若在制作过程中承载机台可能存在的颗粒物较小,则可以降低第一隔垫物的高度,如可以设置为在5μm~10μm之间,既可以保证产品的良率以及阵列基板在承载机台上的稳定性,也可以增加产能。具体可根据实际需要进行选择,在此不作具体限定。同理,可将第一保护膜的厚度设置为1μm~5μm,以对各区域的电极结构进行全面的保护,该第一保护膜的厚度可根据实际使用情况进行选择,在此不作具体限定。可以理解的是,第一保护膜在各处的厚度几乎一致,但第一保护膜在远离衬底基板的表面在不同位置处与衬底基板之间的距离是不一样的。
其中,该第一隔垫物和第一保护膜可采用有机树脂形成,其具有耐高温、透明、稳定性高等优点,对各工艺的适应性强。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,如图6所示,还包括:第二保护结构5;
第二保护结构5位于绑定端子4背离衬底基板1的一侧。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,在暴露出电极结构以后,还需要在电极结构对应的位置制作或者绑定相应的发光器件,因此,还需要经过多个承载机台的移动和吸附的过程,可能对衬底基板的第二表面已经形成的各膜层产生损伤,通过在绑定端子上设置第二保护结构,可以对衬底基板位于第二表面的各膜层进行保护,从而提高衬底基板的第二表面的各膜层的使用性能。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,如图6所示,第二保护结构5包括:
第二隔垫物51,第二隔垫物51位于绑定端子4背离衬底基板1一侧,第二隔垫物51在衬底基板1上的正投影与绑定端子4在衬底基板1上的正投影互不重叠;
第二保护膜52,第二保护膜52位于第二隔垫物51背离衬底基板1一侧,且第二保护膜52具有第二开口区域,第二开口区域暴露绑定端子4的至少部分表面。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,为了实现显示面板的无边框或窄边框显示,可以将周边电路的部分制作在衬底基板的非显示侧,即衬底基板的第二表面。为了对位于衬底基板上的第二表面的各膜层进行保护,可以在衬底基板的第二表面制作第二隔垫物和第二保护膜。由于衬底基板的第二表面所形成电路结构较少,因此空间比较充足,可以设置多个第二隔垫物以保证阵列基板的稳定性。
其中,第二隔垫物在衬底基板的正投影可以不与第一隔垫物在衬底基板的正投影重合,可根据衬底基板第二表面形成的结构选择恰当的位置进行制作,由于衬底基板的第二表面的空间比较充足,第二隔垫物截面的尺寸可以设置的相对较大,从而减小第二隔垫物的个数设置,当然也可以设置为较小截面尺寸的第二隔垫物,但是增减第二隔垫物设置的数量,可根据实际需要进行选择,在此不作具体限定。
需要说明的是,设计第二隔垫物所在的位置时,需要将绑定柔性电路板的位置进行预留,从而不影响柔性电路板的绑定,即第二隔垫物在衬底基板上的正投影与预设的柔性电路板所在区域互不重叠。其中,该柔性电路板所占区域在100μm 2~1000μm 2之间。此外,第二隔垫物高度的均一性和平整性应该在可接受的范围内,以保证后续绑定发光器件的良率。
具体地,在依次形成第二隔垫物和第二保护膜后,在翻转衬底基板之前需要对第二保护膜进行构图,以暴露出绑定端子,便于后期与柔性电路板进 行绑定。即在对第二保护膜进行构图后在对衬底基板进行翻转。虽然在翻转后绑定端子已经处于暴露状态,但是,由于第二隔垫物和第二保护膜本身具有一定的厚度,对衬底基板起到一定的支撑作用,也可以保证基板在被传送至下一工艺中起到保护作用。
基于同一发明构思,本公开实施例还提供了一种显示面板,包括:上述任一实施例提供的阵列基板,以及与阵列基板电连接的多个发光器件。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的显示面板中,还包括:柔性电路板,柔性电路板与绑定端子电连接。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的显示面板中,该发光器件包括:
微型发光器件,微型发光器件与电极结构电连接。
如图7所示,该微型发光器件L包括两个电极引脚L1、L2分别与两个电极结构2进行绑定,其中,电极引脚L1接收来自SD电极的数据信号,电极引脚L2接收来自VSS电极提供的低电压或对地电压。
其中,当该发光器件为微型发光器件时,可以直接将该微型发光器件与电极结构进行绑定,工艺简单。
当然,该发光器件也可以为有机电致发光器件,即在电极结构上形成发光层等膜层,具体采用哪种类型的发光器件,可以根据实际使用情况进行选择,在此不作具体限定。
基于同一发明构思,本公开实施例还提供了一种显示装置,该显示装置包括上述任一实施例提供的显示面板,以及驱动IC。
其中,该显示面板和显示装置具有上述实施例提供的阵列基板的全部优点,可参见上述阵列基板的实施例进行实施,在此不再赘述。

显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本公开进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本公开的精神和范围。这样,倘若本公开的这些修改和变型属于本公开权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本公开也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
