本文参照作为理想化示例性附图的剖视图和/或平面图描述了示例性实施方式。在附图中,为了清楚,放大了层和区域的厚度。因此,可设想到由于例如制造技术和/或公差引起的相对于附图的形状的变动。因此,示例性实施方式不应解释为局限于本文示出的区域的形状,而是包括因例如制造而引起的形状偏差。例如,示为矩形的蚀刻区域通常将具有弯曲的特征。因此,附图中所示的区域本质上是示意性的,且它们的形状并非旨在示出设备的区域的实际形状,并且并非旨在限制示例性实施方式的范围。
在相关技术中,对于车载或者笔记本等大尺寸的显示面板,由于显示面板的发光面积较大,进而需要较大的电流来驱动发光器件。在此基础上,电致发光显示面板中发光器件的阴极层为整面蒸镀(也即多个发光器件共用整层阴极层),且为了保证发光器件的出光效率,通常将阴极层制作的较薄,从而导致阴极层的方阻较大。这样一来,电致发光显示面板中靠近集成电路端的亮度就会比远离集成电路端的亮度高,进而造成显示不均匀的现象。
基于此,本公开的一些实施例提供了一种显示基板100。如图5和图6所示,该显示基板100具有显示区A。
示例性的,显示区A至少包括第一区域A1。也即,如图5所示,显 示区A可以仅包括第一区域A1;或者,显示区A可以包括第一区域A1以及其他区域。例如,如图6所示,显示区A可以包括第一区域A1和第二区域A2。关于第二区域A2可以参照下文中的说明,此处不再赘述。
示例性的,如图5所示,第一区域A1可以包括多个第一亚像素区P1。该多个第一亚像素区P1例如可以呈阵列状排布。
在一些示例中,如图3及图7~图11所示,上述显示基板100可以包括:衬底1。
上述衬底1的类型包括多种,可以根据实际需要选择设置。
示例性的,上述衬底1可以为刚性衬底。其中,该刚性衬底可以为玻璃衬底或PMMA(Polymethyl methacrylate,聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯)衬底等。
示例性的,上述衬底1可以为柔性衬底。其中,该柔性衬底可以为PET(Polyethylene terephthalate,聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)衬底、PEN(Polyethylene naphthalate two formic acid glycol ester,聚萘二甲酸乙二醇酯)衬底或PI(Polyimide,聚酰亚胺)衬底等。
在一些示例中,如图5所示,上述显示基板100还可以包括:设置在衬底1的一侧的多个第一亚像素2。该多个第一亚像素2例如包括红色亚像素、绿色亚像素、蓝色亚像素和白色亚像素中的至少一种。
示例性的,上述多个第一亚像素2分别位于上述多个第一亚像素区P1。例如,该多个第一亚像素2和多个第一亚像素区P1一一对应设置。
示例性的,如图8所示,第一亚像素2包括:像素驱动电路,以及依次层叠设置的第一阳极21、第一发光层22和第一阴极23。其中,第一阴极23相比于第一阳极21远离衬底1。多个第一亚像素2的第一阴极23可以相互连接,呈一体结构。
可选的,如图8所示,显示基板100还可以包括:设置在第一阳极21与第一发光层22之间的像素界定层3。该像素界定层3具有多个开口,每个第一发光层22的至少一部分通过一个开口与相应的第一阳极21电连接。
例如,像素界定层3的开口用于限定出多个第一亚像素区域P1。
上述像素驱动电路的结构包括多种,本公开对此不作限定。例如,例如像素驱动电路的结构可以为“6T1C”、“7T1C”、“6T2C”或“7T2C”等结构。此处,“T”表示为薄膜晶体管,位于“T”前面的数字表示为薄膜晶体管的个数,“C”表示为存储电容器,“C”前面的数字表示为 存储电容器的个数。
每个第一亚像素2中的像素驱动电路与第一阳极21电连接。其中,与第一阳极21电连接的薄膜晶体管可以为像素驱动电路中的驱动晶体管DT,该驱动晶体管DT可以通过绝缘层(或平坦处)上的过孔与第一阳极21电连接。
在一些示例中,如图7和图8所示,上述显示基板100还可以包括:设置在上述多个第一亚像素2远离衬底1一侧的图案层4。
示例性的,如图4所示,图案层4可以包括:第一图案41和多个第二图案42。第一图案41例如可以呈一体结构。
上述第一图案41具有间隔设置的多个开口K。上述多个第二图案42分别设置在该多个开口K中。例如,该多个第二图案42一一对应地设置在该多个开口K内。
需要说明的是,第一图案41的材料为导电材料,第二图案42的材料为透明的绝缘材料。
在一些示例中,如图7和图8所示,上述多个第二图案42中位于第一区域A1的部分在衬底1上的正投影边界,与多个第一亚像素区P1的边界重合;或者,上述多个第一亚像素区P1的边界,位于上述多个第二图案42中位于第一区域A1的部分在衬底1上的正投影边界范围内。也即,位于第一区域A1中的第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影的面积,大于或等于第一亚像素区P1的面积。
示例性的,在第一区域A1中,一个第二图案42位于一个第一亚像素2远离衬底1的一侧。例如,第二图案42靠近衬底1的一侧表面,与相应的第一亚像素2中第一阴极23远离衬底1的一侧表面直接接触。
由于第二图案42的材料为透明的绝缘材料,且位于第一区域A1中的各第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影的面积,大于或等于相应的第一亚像素区P1的面积,这也既可以避免影响第一亚像素2的电学性能,又可以避免对第一亚像素2的出光效率产生不良影响。
此处,在显示区A仅包括第一区域A1的情况下,上述多个第二图案42则全部位于第一区域A1内;在显示区A包括第一区域A1和第二区域A2的情况下,上述多个第二图案42中的一部分则位于第一区域A1内,另一部分则位于第二区域A2内。其中,该“第二图案42中的一部分”和“第二图案42中的另一部分”为数量上的限定。
在一些示例中,如图8所示,第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部 分与第一阴极23电连接。
示例性的,第一图案41可以覆盖上述多个第一亚像素2中第一阴极23的一部分。
由于上述多个第二图案42分为位于第一图案41中的多个开口K内,因此,每个第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影的面积,小于或等于相应的开口K的面积。这样也就使得第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分不会对第一亚像素区P1进行遮挡,避免影响第一亚像素2的出光效率。此外,第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分和第一亚像素2中的第一阴极23能够形成并联,这也有利于降低第一阴极23的方阻。
此处,在显示区A仅包括第一区域A1的情况下,上述第一图案41则全部位于第一区域A1内;在显示区A包括第一区域A1和第二区域A2的情况下,上述第一图案41中的一部分则位于第一区域A1内,另一部分则位于第二区域A2内。其中,该“第一图案41中的一部分”和“第一图案41中的另一部分”为膜层整体上的限定。
由此,本公开的一些实施例所提供的显示基板100,通过在上述多个第一亚像素2远离衬底1的一侧设置图案层4,并将采用透明的绝缘材料形成的第二图案42,与第一亚像素区P1的位置相对应,使得第二图案42中位于第一区域A1的部分在衬底1上的正投影大于或等于相应第一亚像素区P1的面积,将采用导电材料形成第一图案41,与各第一亚像素2的第一阴极23电连接,使得第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分与各第一亚像素2的第一阴极23形成并联,这样不仅可以保证第一亚像素2的发光效率不受影响,还可以降低第一阴极23的方阻。在显示基板100进行图像显示的过程中,可以有效改善显示基板100中靠近集成电路端的亮度比远离集成电路端的亮度高的现象,提高显示均匀性,提高显示质量。
在一些实施例中,第一图案41的材料和第二图案42的材料具有互斥性。
示例性的,如果在先制备形成第二图案42,在后续制备形成第一图案41的过程中,基于两者的材料具有互斥性,第一图案41的材料不会形成在第二图案42远离衬底1的一侧表面上。
这样既可以避免第一图案41的材料形成在第一亚像素区P1,影响第一亚像素2的出光效率,又可以简化制备形成第一图案41的工艺,简化显示基板100的制备工艺。
在一些示例中,如图4所示,各第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影,与相应的开口K在衬底1上的正投影至少部分重叠。也即,第一图案41中各开口K的侧面与相应的第二图案42的侧面至少部分接触。
示例性的,上述第一图案41中各开口K的侧面指的是,各开口K中与第二图案42相对的表面。第二图案42的侧面指的是,第二图案42中与第一图案41(或相应的开口K)相对的表面。
可选的,上述各第二图案42中,透明的绝缘材料可以为锂喹啉配合物。第一图案41中,导电材料可以为镁。
锂喹啉配合物和镁为现有显示面板的制程中常用的材料,因此在现有的工艺制程中无需额外增加材料的种类。
需要说明的是,第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影形状可以包括多种,相应的开口K的形状可以包括多种,具体可以根据实际需要选择设置。示例性的,图4中所示的第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影形状为矩形,相应开口K的形状也为矩形。当然,如图12所示,第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影形状及相应的开口K的形状也可以为其他形状,本公开实施例对此不做限定。其中,第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影形状和大小可以相同,也可以不同,本发明实施例对此不做限定。
在一些示例中,相对于衬底1,图案层4中的多个第二图案42远离衬底1的一侧表面,低于第一图案41远离衬底1的一侧表面。
例如,图案层4中的多个第二图案42的厚度小于第一图案41的厚度。这样有利于减小第二图案42的材料的用量,减小显示基板100的制备成本。
可选的,第二图案42的厚度可以大约为5nm。考虑到制备形成第二图案42的工艺误差,第二图案42的厚度可能会发生变化,略有增大或减小。
在一些示例中,第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分的厚度大于或等于100nm。
在此基础上,可以有效减小由第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分与第一阴极23共同构成的金属结构的方阻。例如,该方阻至少可以减小至1Ω/□。
上述第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分,与各第一亚像素2中第一阴极23之间的电连接方式包括多种,可以根据实际需要选择设置。
在一些示例中,第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分与各第一亚 像素2中第一阴极23之间还可以设置有其他膜层(例如绝缘层),该膜层具有过孔。第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分与各第一亚像素2中第一阴极23之间可以通过设置在该其他膜层上的过孔实现电连接。
在另一些示例中,如图8所示,第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分与各第一亚像素2中第一阴极23之间未设置有其他膜层。第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分靠近衬底1的一侧表面,与各第一亚像素2中的第一阴极23远离衬底1的一侧表面直接接触。也即,第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分直接制作形成在第一阴极23的表面上,并通过两者的表面实现电连接。
通过将第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分靠近衬底1的一侧表面,与各第一亚像素2中第一阴极23远离衬底1的一侧表面直接接触,有利于增大第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分与各第一亚像素2的第一阴极23的接触面积,使得两者更好地实现电连接。
在一些实施例中,如图6所示,显示区A还包括位于第一区域A1旁侧的第二区域A2,第二区域A2包括多个第二亚像素区P2。该多个第二亚像素区P2例如可以呈阵列状排布。
示例性的,上述“旁侧”可以指的是,第一区域A1的一侧、两侧或三侧等。例如,第一区域A1对第二区域A2形成包围。
在显示区A仅包括第一区域A1和第二区域A2的情况下,第二区域A2则为显示区A中除第一区域A1以外的区域。
在一些示例中,显示基板1的位于相邻两个第二亚像素区P2之间的部分,被配置为能够使得光线从一侧穿过自身,射向相对的另一侧。也即,显示基板1的位于相邻两个第二亚像素区P2之间的部分,可以为半透明状态。
这样一来,在将显示基板100应用至显示装置1000中的情况下,便可以在第二区域A2内设置光学传感器(例如摄像头)。该光学传感器可以设置在衬底1远离图案层4的一侧,外界光线便可以通过显示基板100中位于相邻两个第二亚像素区P2之间的部分入射至光学传感器,使得光学传感器能够正常工作。这样有利于使得上述显示装置1000实现全面屏设计。
在一些示例中,如图6、图10和图11所示,显示基板100还包括:设置在衬底1的一侧、且分别位于上述多个第二亚像素区P2的多个第二亚像素5。该多个第二亚像素5例如包括红色亚像素、绿色亚像素和、蓝色亚像素和白色亚像素中的至少一种。
示例性的,如图10和图11所示,第二亚像素5包括:像素驱动电路,以及依次层叠设置的第二阳极51和第二发光层52。其中,第二发光层52相比于第二阳极51远离衬底1。第二亚像素5中的像素驱动电路与第一亚像素2中的像素驱动电路的结构可以相同。
需要说明的是,上述像素界定层3也位于第二阳极51和第二发光层52之间。每个第二发光层52的至少一部分通过一个开口与相应的第二阳极51电连接。像素界定层3的开口还用于限定出多个第二亚像素区域P2。
示例性的,如图10和图11所示,上述多个第二亚像素区P2的边界,位于第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分在衬底1上的正投影范围内,且各第二发光层52均与第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分电连接。上述多个第二图案42中位于第二区域A2的部分在衬底1上的正投影,与多个第二亚像素区P2的边界无交叠。
也即,第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分,会对各第二亚像素5的第二发光层52进行遮盖。第二图案42中位于第二区域A2的部分,位于第二区域A2中除去第二亚像素区P2以外的部分区域内。
由于第二图案42采用透光的绝缘材料形成,通过将位于第二区域A2内的第二图案42设置在第二区域A2中除去第二亚像素区P2以外的部分区域内,可以避免影响显示基板100位于第二区域A2内的部分的光线透过率。
示例性的,位于第二区域A2内的第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影形状包括多种,可以根据实际需要选择设置。
例如,位于第二区域A2内的第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影形状可以为如图13所示的六边形,位于第二区域A2内的每个第二图案42位于相邻的两个第二亚像素5之间。当然,位于第二区域A2内的第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影形状可以为条形,位于第二区域A2内的每个第二图案42可以位于相邻的两行或两列第二亚像素5之间。或者,位于第二区域A2内的第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影形状可以为网格状,该第二图案42与多个第二亚像素5相邻。
通过对位于第二区域A2内的第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影形状以及与第二亚像素5之间的位置关系进行限定,可以在确保第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分为连续的薄膜的同时,使得位于第二区域A2内的第二图案42在衬底1上具有较大的正投影面积,确保显示基板100 位于第二区域A2内的部分的光线透过率。
在一些示例中,如图10和图11所示,第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分靠近衬底1的一侧表面,与各第二发光层52远离衬底1的一侧表面直接接触。第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分,用作各第二亚像素5的第二阴极。
这也就是说,第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分,和各第二亚像素5的第二发光层52之间未设置其他薄膜。
需要说明的是,在相关技术中,为了实现全面屏,需要将光学传感器设置在电致发光显示面板背离出光面的一侧,因此外界的光则需要穿过电致发光显示面板入射至光学传感器。在此基础上,电致发光显示面板中各子像素的阴极为整面蒸镀。这样一来,整面蒸镀的阴极会使得从外界入射至电致发光显示面板的光线在入射至光学传感器时损失掉大部分。
基于上述,本公开的一些实施例提供的显示基板100,通过将第一图案41中位于第二区域A2中的部分与各第二亚像素5的第二发光层52电连接,以将第一图案41中位于第二区域A2内的部分用作各第二亚像素5的第二阴极,并将多个第二图案42中位于第二区域A2中的部分设置在相邻两个第二亚像素区P2之间的区域内,且第二图案42处于透明状态,这样一来,有利于增大显示基板100中位于第二区域A2内的部分的光线透过率。在将显示基板100应用至显示装置1000中,且该显示装置1000还包括设置在第二区域A2内的光学传感器的情况下,可以使得更多的光线能够从外界穿过显示基板100入射至光学传感器。
经验证,采用本公开实施例提供的上述设置方式,显示基板100对于可见光波段的透过率可提升20%及以上,对于红外光波段的透过率可提升100%及以上。
在一些示例中,第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分的厚度的范围为10nm~15nm。例如,第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分的厚度可以为10nm、11nm、12.5nm、13.7nm或15nm等。
在将第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分作为各第二亚像素5的第二阴极后,通过将第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分的厚度设置为上述范围,可以保证各第二亚像素5的第二发光层52发出的光能够透过第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分,进而保证各第二亚像素5能够正常工作、进行图像显示。
在一些示例中,如图11所示,像素界定层3中位于第二区域A2的部分设置有多个凹槽,位于第二区域A2内的第二图案42可以分别位于该多个凹槽内。其中,位于第二区域A2中的第二图案42的侧面与第一图案41中位于第二区域A2内的开口的侧面至少部分接触。
本公开的一些实施例提供了一种显示基板的制备方法。如图14所示,该制备方法包括:S100~S300。
S100,提供衬底1。衬底1具有显示区A。显示区A至少包括第一区域A1,第一区域A1包括多个第一亚像素区P1。
示例性的,上述衬底1的类型、第一区域A1的设置方式、第一亚像素区P1的设置方式,可以与上述一些实施例中的相同,具体可以参照上述一下实施例中的说明,此处不再赘述。
S200,在衬底1的一侧形成多个第一亚像素2。该多个第一亚像素2分别位于上述多个第一亚像素区P1;各第一亚像素2包括依次层叠设置的第一阳极21、第一发光层22和第一阴极23。
示例性的,本公开可以采用光刻工艺制备形成各第一亚像素2的第一阳极21,可以采用蒸镀工艺或喷墨打印工艺等制备形成各第一亚像素2的第一发光层22,可以采用蒸镀工艺形成各第一亚像素2的第一阴极23。
例如,上述各第一亚像素2的第一阴极23相互连接,呈一体结构。
需要说明的是,在显示区A还包括第二区域A2的情况下,上述S200还包括:在衬底1的一侧形成多个第二亚像素5。该多个第二亚像素5分别位于多个第二亚像素区P2内。各第一亚像素2的第一阳极21和各第二亚像素5的第二阳极51同层设置,各第一亚像素2的第一发光层22和各第二亚像素5的第二发光层52同层设置。
此处,本文中提及的“同层”指的是采用同一成膜工艺形成用于形成特定图形的膜层,然后利用同一掩模板通过一次构图工艺形成的层结构。根据特定图形的不同,一次构图工艺可能包括多次曝光、显影或刻蚀工艺,而形成的层结构中的特定图形可以是连续的也可以是不连续的,这些特定图形还可能处于不同的高度或者具有不同的厚度。
S300,如图18b所示,在上述多个第一亚像素2远离衬底1的一侧形成图案层4。该图案层4包括:第一图案41和多个第二图案42,第一图案41具有间隔设置的多个开口K,该多个第二图案42分别设置在该多个开口K内。第一图案41的材料为导电材料,第二图案42的材料为透明的绝缘材料。
关于图案层4、第一图案41和第二图案42的结构的说明,可以参照上述一些实施例中的说明,此处不再赘述。
在一些示例中,如图15所示,在上述S300中,在多个第一亚像素2远离衬底1的一侧形成图案层4,包括:S310~S320。
S310,如图18a所示,在多个第一亚像素2远离衬底1的一侧形成间隔设置的多个第二图案42。该多个第二图案42中位于第一区域A1的部分在衬底1上的正投影边界,与多个第一亚像素区P1的边界重合;或者,该多个第一亚像素区P1的边界,位于多个第二图案42中位于第一区域A1的部分在衬底1上的正投影边界范围内。
需要说明的是,如图18a所示,在显示区A还包括第二区域A2的情况下,上述多个第二图案42中的一部分可以位于第二区域A2内。其中,位于第二区域A2内的第二图案42设置在相邻两个第二亚像素区P2之间,且位于第二区域A2内的第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影,与该多个第二亚像素区P2的边界无交叠。
示例性的,如图16所示,在上述S310中,在多个第一亚像素2远离衬底1的一侧形成间隔设置的多个第二图案42,包括:S311~S312。
S311,在上述多个第一亚像素2远离衬底1的一侧设置精细金属掩膜板(Fine Metal Mask,简称FMM)。
示例性的,上述FMM具有多个图案,该多个图案的形状、设置位置,与待形成的第二图案42的形状、设置位置相同。
S312,如图18a所示,通过精细金属掩膜板、并采用蒸镀工艺,将透明的绝缘材料蒸镀到上述多个第一亚像素2远离衬底1的一侧,形成间隔设置的多个第二图案42。
示例性的,上述透明的绝缘材料可以为锂喹啉配合物。采用蒸镀工艺蒸镀该透明的绝缘材料,可以直接形成所需形状及位置的第二图案42,有利于简化制备形成显示基板100的工艺流程。
S320,如图18b所示,在上述多个第二图案42之间的间隙内形成第一图案41。第一图案41中位于第一区域A1的部分与第一阴极23电连接。
需要说明的是,在显示区A还包括第二区域A2的情况下,上述多个第二图案42中的一部分可以位于第二区域A2内。其中,各第二亚像素区P2的边界,位于第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分在衬底1上的正投影范围内,且各第二发光层52均与第一图案41中位于第二区域A2的部分电连接。
示例性的,如图17所示,在上述S320中,在上述多个第二图案42之 间的间隙内形成第一图案41,包括:S321~S322。
S321,在上述多个第二图案42远离衬底1的一侧设置开口掩膜板(Open Mask)。
示例性的,上述开口掩膜板具有图案,该图案的形状、设置位置,与待形成的第二图案41的至少一部分的形状、设置位置相同。
S322,如图18b所示,通过开口掩膜板、并采用蒸镀工艺,将导电材料蒸镀到上述多个第二图案42之间的间隙内,形成第一图案41。导电材料和透明的绝缘材料具有互斥性;第一图案41在衬底1上的正投影形状与上述多个第二图案42在衬底1上的正投影形状互补。
示例性的,上述导电材料可以为镁。镁和锂喹啉配合物之间具有互斥性。
在通过开口掩膜板蒸镀导电材料、形成第一图案41的过程中,该导电材料会形成在任意相邻的两个第二图案42之间,位于任意相邻的两个第二图案42之间的导电材料会相互连接,呈一体结构。在形成第一图案41后,第一图案41中便可以自然而然地形成多个开口K,一个第二图案42位于一个开口K内。
由于第一图案41的材料和第二图案42的材料具有互斥性,在蒸镀导电材料的过程中,导电材料可以避免形成在第二图案42远离衬底1的一侧表面上。
需要说明的是,在显示区A还包括的第二区域A2的情况下,第一图案41中位于第二区域A2内的部分用作各第二亚像素P2的第二阴极。为了确保各第二亚像素P2的出光效率,第一图案41中位于第二区域A2内的部分的厚度较小。也就是说,第一图案41中位于第一区域A1内的部分的厚度(例如100nm)和第一图案41中位于第二区域A2内的部分的厚度(例如15nm)是不同的,两者之间的差异较大。
因此,在制备形成第一图案41的过程中,可以内在第一区域A1和第二区域A2先蒸镀形成厚度为15nm的薄膜,然后再第一区域A1内蒸镀继续蒸镀导电材料,使得第一图案41中位于第一区域A1内的部分的厚度为100nm。
