可选的,光线传感器设置于像素界定层远离第一衬底基板的一侧。在此情况下,可以方便使得光线传感器在第一衬底基板上的垂直投影,位于像素分隔墙在第一衬底基板上的垂直投影的范围内,从而避免光线传感器对像素光路的干扰。
可选的,显示屏还包括黑矩阵。该黑矩阵位于第二衬底基板靠近第一衬底基板的一侧。其中,光线传感器在第二衬底基板上的垂直投影位于黑矩阵在第二衬底基板上的垂直投影的范围内,从而可以避免光线传感器对像素光路的干扰。

下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。
以下,术语“第一”、“第二”等仅用于描述目的,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。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”等的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本申请的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
此外,本申请中,“上”、“下”等方位术语可以包括但不限于相对附图中的部件示意置放的方位来定义的,应当理解到,这些方向性术语可以是相对的概念,它们用于相对于的描述和澄清,其可以根据附图中部件附图所放置的方位的变化而相应地发生变化。
在本申请中,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“连接”应做广义理解,例如,“连接”可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或成一体;可以是直接相连,也可以通过中间媒介间接相连。此外,术语“耦接”可以是实现信号传输的电性连接的方式。“耦接”可以是直接的电性连接,也可以通过中间媒介间接电性连接。
本申请实施例提供一种电子设备。该电子设备包括手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(pad)、电脑、电视、智能穿戴产品(例如,智能手表、智能手环)、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality AR)等具有显示功能的电子产品。本申请实施例对上述电子设备的具体形式不做特殊限制。
为了方便说明,以下以电子设备01为如图1a所示的手机为例。在此情况下,上述电子设备01主要包括显示模组10、中框11以及后壳12。中框11位于显示模组10和后壳12之间。显示模组10、后壳12分别与中框11相连接。其中,后壳12和中框11之间形成的容纳腔用于容纳电池、摄像头(图1a中未示出),以及如图1a所示的印刷电路板(printed circuit board,PCB)等电子元器件。
在本申请一种实现方式中,显示屏101如图2a所示具有用于显示图像的显示区域1001,以及位于该显示区域1001外围的边框区域1002。该边框区域1002内设置有用 于驱动显示屏101进行画面显示的驱动电路,例如源极驱动电路、栅极驱动电路等。
此外,显示模组10用于显示图像,其包括如图1b所示的显示屏101,该显示屏101具有多个像素(pixel)单元202。在本申请的一些实施例中,像素排布可以如图1b所示,一个像素单元202包括一个红(red,R)色亚像素105R、一个绿(green,G)色亚像素105G以及一个蓝(blue,B)色亚像素105B。示例的,红色亚像素105R和绿色亚像素105G沿X方向位于同一行,蓝色亚像素105B位于另一行,且与红色亚像素105R沿Y轴方向位于同一列。对于图1b所示的像素排布方式,蓝色亚像素105B的右侧,绿色亚像素105G的下方可以不用设置亚像素。从而使得沿Y方向位于同一列的相邻两个绿色亚像素105G之间具有一定的间隙。
需要说明的是,图1b是以同一像素单元202中红色亚像素105R和绿色亚像素105G沿X轴方向位于同一行,蓝色亚像素105B位于下一行为例进行的说明。在本申请的另一些实施例中,同一像素单元202中红色亚像素105R和蓝色亚像素105B可以沿X轴方向位于同一行,而绿色亚像素105G位于下一行,或者绿色亚像素105G和蓝色亚像素105B。
可以沿X轴方向位于同一行,红色亚像素105R位于下一行三种组合。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,显示屏101的像素排布方式还可以如图1c所示,同一个像素单元202中的红色亚像素105R、绿色亚像素105G和蓝色亚像素105B可以沿X轴方向依次排布于同一行。需要说明的是,关于红、绿、蓝三原色亚像素105的排列方式可以根据需求而定,本申请对此不做限定。例如,上述显示屏101的亚像素105的排列方式还可以为红色亚像素、蓝色亚像素以及绿色亚像素面积不相等的Pentile像素排列方式(也可以称为P排列)、RGB-Delta像素排列方式(也可以称为D排列)等。
对于图1b或图1c所示的任意一种像素排布方式,任意一个亚像素105具有有效显示区(active area,AA),以及位于该AA区周边的非有效显示区106。上述亚像素105的AA区为该亚像素105中真正用于显示图像的区域。在此情况下,上述任意两个相邻的亚像素105的AA区之间的非有效显示区106不用于显示图像。
此外,该电子设备01还可以包括如图2a所示的至少一个光线传感器13(图2b以一个光线传感器13为例)。在电子设备01具有多个光线传感器13的情况下,根据用户的需求,上述多个光线传感器13的功能可以不完全相同。
在本申请的一些实施例中,在较暗的环境下使用显示屏101时,会感到显示屏101的亮度太强,容易引起疲劳,而在阳光比较充足的户外时,显示屏101的亮度又太低,造成看不清楚屏幕,给应用带来困难。
基于此,本申请实施例提供的电子设备01还具有能够根据光线对显示屏101的亮度进行调节的功能。在此情况下,上述至少一个光线传感器13可以包括环境光传感器13a。该环境光传感器13a可以包括至少一个如图2b所示的感光像素220,该环境光传感器13a可以称为感光单元。需要说明的是,图2b是以环境光传感器13a包括多个感光像素220为例进行的说明,上述任意一个感光像素220中设置有感光控制电路201。
由上述可知,相邻两个亚像素AA区之间的区域为非有效显示区106,该非有效显示区106不会显示图像。因此,为了避免环境光传感器13a中各个感光控制电路201 对显示屏显示的图像造成干扰,上述环境光传感器13a中的各个感光控制电路201可以间隔设置。在本申请的一些实施例中,环境光传感器13a的感光控制电路201可以位于相邻两个亚像素105的有效显示区AA之间的非有效显示区106内(例如图1b和图1c所标识的位置)。或者,在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图1d所示,环境光传感器13a的感光控制电路201可以位于相邻两个像素单元202之间的非有效显示区106内。
如图3a所示,环境光传感器的每个感光控制电路201包括第一开关晶体管Tc1和与开关晶体管Tc1相耦接的第一光敏元件(例如,图3a所示的光敏三极管BG)。其中,第一开关晶体管Tc1可以为薄膜晶体管(thin film transistor,TFT)或者MOS管。以下为了方便说明,均是以第一开关晶体管Tc1为TFT为例进行的说明。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,任意一个TFT可以包括栅极(gate,g)、有源层(active layer,AL)以及第一极,例如为源极(source,s)以及第二极,例如为漏极(drain,d)。或者,晶体管的第一极可以为漏极d,第二极为源极s。本申请对此不做限定,为了方便举例说明,以下均是以晶体管的第一极为漏极d,第二极为源极s为例进行的说明。
此外,当第一开关晶体管Tc1为TFT时,第一开关晶体管Tc1可以为顶栅型晶体管或者底栅型晶体管,当其为顶栅型晶体管时,第一开关晶体管Tc1的栅极g相对于有源层AL更远离衬底。在此情况下,为了避免第一开关晶体管Tc1的有源层314受到外界光线的破坏,显示屏101还可以包括如图3c所示的第一遮光层303a,其中,第一遮光层303a位于第一开关晶体管Tc1的栅极g远离开关晶体管Tc的有源层AL的一侧,且第一遮光层303a覆盖第一开关晶体管Tc1的栅极g。当其为顶栅型晶体管时,第一开关晶体管Tc1的栅极g相对于有源层AL更靠近衬底。本申请对此不做限定,为了方便举例说明,以下均是以第一开关晶体管Tc1为顶栅型晶体管为例进行的说明。
基于此,在本申请的一些实施例中,如图3a所示,第一光敏元件可以为光敏三极管BG。其中,光敏三极管BG的结构与第一开关晶体管Tc1类似,即可以为TFT或者MOS管。当光敏三极管BG为TFT时,该光敏三极管BG可以为顶栅型或者底栅型晶体管。为了方便说明,以下是以光敏三极管BG为顶栅型为例进行的说明。此外,光敏三极管BG和第一开关晶体管Tc1不同之处在于光敏三极管BG的有源层处接入了一个光敏二极管。上述中第一开关晶体管Tc1和第一光敏元件相耦接是指光敏三极管BG的栅极g与第一开关晶体管Tc1的第一极相耦接。
在此情况下,显示屏101还可以包括如图2b所示的横纵交叉的选通信号线GL和读取信号线RL。其中,光敏三极管BG的第一极,例如,图3a中光敏三极管BG的漏极(drain,d)与读取信号线RL相耦接,第一开关晶体管Tc1的栅极(gate,g)与选通信号线GL相耦接。此外,光敏三极管BG的第二极与第一电压端V1相耦接,第一开关晶体管Tc1的第二极,例如图3a中光敏三极管BG的源极(source,s)与第二电压端V2相耦接。
基于此,GL的输入信号可以控制第一开关晶体管Tc1的导通,当选通信号线GL接收选通信号后,第一开关晶体管Tc1导通,此时,V2的电压可以加载到光敏三极管 BG的栅极g,使光敏三极管BG导通。
此外,在本申请的另一些实施例中,上述V1和V2的电压可以不同。此时,V1可以大于V2,V1也可以小于V2,只要能够起到导通第一开关晶体管Tc1和光敏三极管BG即可。或者,在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图3b所示,上述V1和V2的电压可以相同。此时,第一开关晶体管Tc1和光敏三极管BG的第一极可以连接同一个电压端V1。
如图3c(沿图1b中的虚线E-E进行剖切得到的剖视图,仅为显示屏101中具有环境光传感器的感光控制电路201所在的部分)所示,当光线射至光敏三极管BG的表面时,会导致光敏三极管BG的有源层308发生光电转换效应,使光敏三极管BG的有源层308的阻抗发生变化,而在光敏三极管BG的有源层308的两端形成电荷的累积或者消耗(如图3c所示,光敏三极管BG的有源层308的左侧为正电荷,右侧为负电荷)。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图3a,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201还可以包括电阻R,其中,电阻R的第一端C与读取信号线RL相耦接,电阻R的第二端D与第三电压端V3相耦接,此外,第一电压端V1的电压大于第三电压端V3的电压。在本申请的一些实施例中,第三电压端V3可以接地。
如此一来,当选通信号线GL按照一定的频率开启时,第一电压端V1和第三电压端V3之间可以形成电场。在电场的作用下,上述光敏三极管BG的有源层308两端累积的电荷之间可以形成电流(如图3c所示,电流的方向为正电荷指向负电荷的方向),而从RL端输出电信号。其中,一定的频率例如可以是20Hz,或者根据需求设定,从而达到满足精确度和功耗等要求。在本实施例中,可以通过测试电阻R两端的电压,获取光敏三极管BG的阻抗变化情况。
之后,CPU可以根据获取的阻抗变化情况调整显示屏101的亮度。例如,调整脉冲宽度调制(pulse width modulation,PWM)中的占空比,当需要增加亮度时,可以减少占空比的值,当需要降低亮度时,可以增大占空比的值。由于此为本领域技术人员的现有技术,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,CPU内部需要提前设置阻抗和显示屏亮度之间的对应关系。另外,需要在电子设备01处于初始状态时,测试基准电压,作为后期电压测试的基准。具体如下:
初始状态下,第一开关晶体管Tc1的栅极g设置为0偏压,此时,第一开关晶体管Tc1关闭,V1和V2设置为正偏压。需要说明的是,此处V1也可以设定为负偏压,或者根据需求进行设定,本申请对此不做限定。而V2用于在开关晶体管Tc打开的状态下开启光敏三极管BG。
然后,选通信号线GL接收选通信号,给第一开关晶体管Tc1的栅极g加载高电压(以第一开关晶体管Tc1为N型晶体管为例),使第一开关晶体管Tc1导通,光敏三极管BG在第一开关晶体管Tc1导通后,提供给光敏三极管BG高电压,使光敏三极管BG导通,然后在RL端读出电阻R两端的电压值,作为基准电压。
基于此,由上述可知,光线入射至光敏三极管BG表面时,会转换成电信号,然而,外界光线中的某部分光线进入光敏三极管BG表面后,不容易引起光敏三极管BG 发生光电转化。所以为了解决上述问题。在本申请的一些实施例中,如图3c所示,显示屏101还可以包括第一滤光层305。
该第一滤光层305设置于光敏三极管BG的入光面所在的一侧,且覆盖光敏三极管BG的入光面,第一滤光层305用于对入射至显示屏101的光线进行过滤,从而过滤掉第一光敏三极管BG的非响应波段,提高感光控制电路201光信号采集的准确性。其中,如图3d所示(图3c中W部分对应的放大图),第一滤光层305可以包括层叠的氧化硅(SiOx)层317、氧化钛(TiOx)层318(图中仅是氧化硅(SiOx)层317和氧化钛(TiOx)318堆叠方式的一种示例),通过调整氧化硅(SiOx)层317和氧化钛(TiOx)318的层数和折射率,调整滤光层305可过滤的光线波段。例如,当环境光传感器的感光控制电路201中的上述第一光敏元件对红外波段不响应时,可以通过调整氧化硅(SiOx)317层和氧化钛(TiOx)318的层数和折射率,使得第一滤光层305可以过滤掉红外波段的光线。
需要说明的是,本申请对SiOx和TiOx的层数、堆叠方式和折射率不做限定,本领域技术人员可以通过实验、测试、仿真等方式对SiOx和TiOx的层数、堆叠方式和折射率进行设置,只要能够根据光敏三极管BG对光线波长的要求滤除非响应波段即可。
此外,由上述可知,环境光传感器的各个感光控制电路201位于相邻两个AA区之间的非显示区域106,然而AA区由上述可知,能够显示图像,当该AA区显示图像时,该AA区发出的光线,会存在入射至非显示区域106的可能,从而导致影响感光控制电路201的采集结果。为了解决上述问题,显示屏101还可以包括如图3c所示的第一挡光结构304,该第一挡光结构304设置于光敏三极管BG的入光面所在的一侧,且绕光敏三极管BG的一周设置(如图3e所示),从而可以遮挡亚像素105的光线入射至光敏三极管BG。
在本申请的一些实施例中,光敏三极管BG的入光面可以为如图3e所示的圆形,此时,如图3d所示,光敏三极管BG的入光面的半径R与第一挡光结构304的高度H1的比值为R1/H1=tanθ
1,当角度θ
1在5°~30°范围内时,可以缩小入射光的入射范围,避免非检测光线的射入,从而使得检测结果更加准确。其中,角度θ
1为入射光与第一光敏元件,例如光敏三极管BG的入光面法线之间的夹角。例如,在本申请的一些实施例中,上述角度θ
1可以为5°、10°、15°、20°或者30°。
需要说明的是,以上述环境光传感器13a包括如图4a所示的四个感光控制电路201为例,上述四个感光控制电路201可以分别设定在如图4a所示的显示屏101的四个顶角对应的位置,此时,相比于如图4c所示相关技术中,电子设备01中设置刘海区100(刘海区100是指在显示屏101的显示区挖一个槽,用于设定其他电子元件,例如,摄像头,home键等)设置一个环境光传感器13a的方式,精确度更高。
或者,在本申请的另一些实施例中,以上述环境光传感器13a包括如图4b所示的八个感光控制电路201,显示屏101的两侧可以分别设置四个感光控制电路201,此时,环境光传感器13a中的各个感光控制电路201既可以测试光线强度,对显示屏101的亮度进行调节,又可以检测手部遮挡位置,从而判断手部所在进行的操作。本申请对感光控制电路201的设定位置不做限定,可根据需求进行设定。
由上述可知,在本申请的实施例中,显示屏101可以包括设置于显示区的多个感光控制电路201和多个亚像素,其中,亚像素具有有效显示区。上述多个感光控制电路201可以构成用于对环境光进行检测的环境光传感器13a。此外,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201包括第一开关晶体管Tc1和与第一开关晶体管Tc1相耦接的第一光敏元件,在此情况下,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201位于相邻两个亚像素的有效显示区之间。基于此,第一光敏元件用于对入射至显示屏101的光线进行光电转换,并生成电信号,第一开关晶体管Tc1用于在处于导通状态时,输出上述第一光敏元件生成的电信号。从而根据获取的电信号对显示屏的亮度进行调节,实现根据光线的亮度调节设备亮度的功能。
此外,由上述可知如图4c所示的相关方案中,环境光传感器13a设置于电子设备01的刘海区100,因此如图4d(沿图4c中的A-A进行剖切得到的剖视图)所示,电子设备01的盖板503下方,在上述刘海区100所在位置因为设置有环境光传感器13a,会使得刘海区100内无法设置亚像素105,导致屏幕的屏占比下降。然而相比于图4c所示的方案,本申请的方案如图4e所示,可以将环境光传感器的感光控制电路201设置于相邻两个像素单元202之间的非有效显示区106内。或者,将环境光传感器的感光控制电路201设置于相邻两个亚像素105之间的非有效显示区106内,因此可以增加盖板503下方能够布局亚像素105的区域的面积,所以可以缩小或者去除显示屏101的刘海区,从而提高电子设备01的屏占比。
以下以图3b为例对制备显示屏101中环境光传感器的感光控制电路201的制作过程的工艺进行说明。
首先,如图5a所示,在第一衬底基板125上,用化学气相沉积(chemical vapor deposition,CVD)的方法形成缓冲层311,之后,用物理气相沉积(physical vapor deposition,PVD)的方法在缓冲层311远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面形成第一开关晶体管Tc1的有源层314。
然后,在形成有缓冲层311的衬底上,采用CVD工艺形成栅极绝缘层312。该栅极绝缘层312覆盖第一开关晶体管Tc1的有源层314。接下来,在栅极绝缘层312远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面用PVD工艺,可以同时形成Tc1的第一栅极302和BG的第二栅极307。之后,采用CVD工艺形成覆盖在第一栅极302和第二栅极307上的中间层313。
之后,利用干法刻蚀工艺在第一开关晶体管Tc1的有源层314的两端形成第一凹槽320和第二凹槽321,以及在第二栅极307的一端形成第三凹槽322。使第一凹槽320和第二凹槽321贯穿中间层313和栅极绝缘层312至第一开关晶体管Tc1的有源层314。使第三凹槽322贯穿中间层313至第二栅极307。
接下来,如图5b所示,通过PVD工艺在第一开关晶体管Tc1的有源层314的两端分别形成源极s和漏极d。
由于光敏三极管BG的源极s和漏极d与第一开关晶体管Tc1的源极s和漏极d同层同材料,因此,在制作第一开关晶体管Tc1的源极s和漏极d时,可以使用同一个掩模版,同时制作光敏三极管BG的源极s和漏极d。此外,第一开关晶体管Tc1的漏极d与光敏三极管BG的源极s之间绝缘。构成光敏三极管BG的源极s和漏极d 与第一开关晶体管Tc1的源极s和漏极d的材料可以是铜(Cu)、铝(Al)、金(Au)等金属材料。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,“同层”指的是采用同一成膜工艺(例如涂覆工艺)形成用于形成特定图形的膜层,然后利用同一掩模板(mask)通过一次构图工艺形成的层结构。根据特定图形的不同,同一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。
之后,在第一开关晶体管Tc1的源极s和漏极d之间形成第一遮光层303a,且第一遮光层303a与第一开关晶体管Tc1的源极s和漏极d相连接,其中,构成该第一遮光层303a的材料可以是黑色吸光材料(例如黑色光刻胶)或者表面镀层绝缘的金属(例如铝(Al)、钛(Ti)等),可以分别利用光刻或者金属溅射的方法制备。
然后,在光敏三极管BG的源极s和漏极d之间形成光敏三极管BG的有源层308,使得光敏三极管BG的有源层308与光敏三极管BG的源极s和漏极d分别连接,其中,构成光敏三极管BG的有源层308的材料可以是半导体材料,例如多晶硅、非晶硅等,可以通过CVD工艺制备,也可以是有机半导体材料,例如并五苯、异丙基硅炔基并五苯等,可以通过光刻与涂覆方法制备。
接下来,为了保证环境光传感器的感光控制电路201采集光信号的准确性,如图5c所示,可以在光敏三极管BG的有源层308远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面通过CVD工艺形成第一滤光层305,过滤掉光敏三极管BG非响应波段。
之后,用钝化层310覆盖第一滤光层305,再用干法刻蚀工艺在钝化层310内形成第四凹槽323和第五凹槽324,其中,第四凹槽323和第五凹槽324贯穿钝化层310。
最后,在第四凹槽323和第五凹槽324内形成第一挡光结构304,其中,构成第一挡光结构304的材料可以是黑色吸光材料(例如黑色光刻胶)或者表面镀层绝缘的金属(例如铝(Al)、钛(Ti)等),同样,可以分别利用光刻或者金属溅射的方法制备。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201中的光敏元件可以为光敏二极管VD。
如图6a所示,光敏二极管VD的第一端A与第一开关晶体管Tc1的第一极相耦接,光敏二极管VD的第二端B与读取信号线RL相耦接,此外,第一开关晶体管Tc1的栅极与选通信号线GL相耦接,第一开关晶体管Tc1的第二极与第一电压端V1相耦接。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201还可以包括电阻R。
在本示例中,其工作原理与上述方案(光敏元件为光敏三极管BG的方案)基本相同,不同之处在于:上述方案中,需要给第一栅极302加载高电压,使第一开关晶体管Tc1导通,光敏三极管BG在第一开关晶体管Tc1导通后,提供给第二栅极307高电压,使光敏三极管BG导通,即光敏三极管BG是在第一开关晶体管Tc1导通后才导通,此时,光敏三极管BG具有放大电流的作用。而本示例中,光敏二极管VD本来就是导通的,第一栅极302只起到打开第一开关晶体管Tc1的作用,光敏二极管 VD也不具有放大电流的作用,其他过程同上所述,此处不再赘述。
图6b为图1b中沿虚线E-E进行剖切得到的具有上述光敏二极管VD的显示屏101的剖视图,与上述方案不同之处在于:第一开关晶体管Tc1的第一极不与第二栅极307连接,第一开关晶体管Tc1的第一极与光敏二极管VD的A端相连。其他设置方式同上所述,此处不再赘述。
制备上述环境光传感器的感光控制电路201的工艺与当光敏元件为光敏三极管BG的方案的制备工艺的不同之处在于:本示例中没有在第二栅极307的一端形成第三凹槽322,且第一开关晶体管Tc1的第一极与光敏二极管VD的A端相连。其他过程同上所述,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,本示例中,第二栅极307不起作用,只是为了与上述当光敏元件为光敏三极管BG时的方案保持一致,如此一来,可使本示例与上述方案使用同一个掩模版,从而方便同时生产上述两种类型的产品,简化工艺。此外,在本示例中也可以没有第二栅极307。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201中的光敏元件可以为光敏电阻RG。如图7所示,光敏电阻RG的第一端I与第一开关晶体管Tc1的第一极相耦接,光敏电阻RG的第二端G与读取信号线RL相耦接,此外,第一开关晶体管Tc1的栅极与选通信号线GL相耦接,第一开关晶体管Tc1的第二极与第一电压端V1相耦接。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201还可以包括电阻R。其工作原理与当光敏元件为光敏二极管VD的方案相同,此处不再赘述。
此外,图1b中沿虚线E-E进行剖切得到的具有上述光敏电阻RG的感光控制电路201的剖视图与图6b相同,只是将图6b中的光敏二极管VD更换成光敏电阻RG,此处不再赘述。
上述是对显示屏101中环境光传感器的感光控制电路201的制作过程进行的说明,以下对具有该环境光传感器的感光控制电路201的显示屏101的结构进行举例说明。
示例一
本示例中,显示屏101为能够自发光的显示屏101。
如图8a所示,上述能够自发光的显示屏101可以具有阵列排布的多个亚像素(sub pixel)105。此外,上述显示屏101包括位于亚像素105内像素电路104和发光元件2021。像素电路104驱动发光元件2021发光,以使得显示屏101中的各个亚像素105能够按照预设的灰阶进行显示。
在本申请的一些实施例中,上述发光元件2021可以为有机发光二极管(organic light emitting diode,OLED)。或者,在本申请的另一些实施例中,上述发光元件2021可以为微型的发光二极管(light emitting diode,LED),例如micro LED,或者mini LED。本申请对发光元件2021的类型不做限定,只要发光元件2021能够在像素电路104的驱动下进行发光即可。以下为了方便说明,均是以发光元件2021为OLED为例进行的举例说明。
在此情况下,显示屏101还可以包括如图8b(沿图8a中的虚线O-O进行剖切得到的剖视图)所示的,第一衬底基板125、第二衬底基板127。上述发光元件2021设 置于第一衬底基板125与第二衬底基板127之间。第一衬底基板125用于承载上述发光元件2021,该第二衬底基板127用于防止空气中的水、氧进入发光元件2021,而对发光元件2021产生不良影响。
基于此,在本申请的一些实施例中,上述光线传感器13可以设置于第一衬底基板125靠近第二衬底基板127的一侧。在上述光线传感器13为环境光传感器的情况下,如图8b所示,上述环境光传感器的感光控制电路201可以设置于第一衬底基板125靠近第二衬底基板127的一侧。或者,在本申请的另一些实施例中,上述光线传感器13可以设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧。在上述光线传感器13为环境光传感器的情况下,可以将环境光传感器的感光控制电路201设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧。以下描述中会对环境光传感器的感光控制电路201的设置方式进行详细的举例说明。
在本申请的一些实施例中,上述显示屏101可以为柔性显示屏。此时,构成第一衬底基板125的材料可以为柔性材料,例如有机材料。上述第二衬底基板127可以为封装层,该封装层包括用于作为柔性基材的多层有机薄膜封装层,以及用于阻隔水、氧的多层无机薄膜封装层。有机薄膜封装层和无机薄膜封装层交叉设置,且该封装层靠近空气和靠近发光元件2021的一层薄膜为无机薄膜封装层。或者,在本申请的另一些实施例中,当上述显示屏101为硬质显示屏时,构成第一衬底基板125和第二衬底基板127的材料可以均为硬质的透明材料。例如,玻璃、蓝宝石、硬质的树脂材料等。在此情况下,上述第二衬底基板127可以为封装盖板。
此外,显示屏101还可以包括如图8c所示的设置于该第一衬底基板125上的像素界定层(pixel definition layer,PDL)126。上述像素界定层126可以包括多个像素分隔墙116,多个像素分隔墙116横纵交叉围设成多个开口120(图5a中可看出像素分隔墙116为横纵交叉设置)。上述显示屏101的多个发光元件2021中的一个上述发光元件2021可以设置于上述多个开口120中的一个开口120中。
其中,发光元件2021所在位置即为亚像素105的有效显示区(active area,AA)。发光元件2021包括依次远离第一衬底基板125一侧的阳极117、发光层118和阴极119。在此情况下,阴极119和阳极117通电后,发光层118在阴极119和阳极117形成的电场的作用下发出光线。像素分隔墙116用于将相邻的亚像素105隔离开,界定出亚像素105的区域。此外,构成像素分隔墙116的材料可以是氧化硅(SiOx)、氮化硅(SiNx)等,像素分隔墙116可以透过光线。
需要说明的是,从图8c中可以看出,像素电路104在远离第一衬底基板125的一侧设置有像素分隔墙116,即像素分隔墙116覆盖于像素电路104的表面,为了方便说明,在图8a中,像素电路104的表面并未显示出像素分隔墙116。
在此情况下,为了避免感光控制电路201对像素光路的干扰,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201可以位于相邻两个亚像素105的有效显示区之间,由上述可知,有效显示区即为与发光元件2021对应的位置。而为了使环境光传感器的感光控制电路201可以位于相邻两个亚像素105的有效显示区之间,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201在第一衬底基板125上的垂直投影需位于像素分隔墙116在第一衬底基板125上的垂直投影的范围内。

需要说明的是,上述是以环境光传感器的感光控制电路201中第一光敏元件为光敏三极管BG为例进行的说明,在本示例中,第一光敏元件还可以是光敏二极管VD或者光敏电阻,此时,在显示屏101的上述剖视图中,只是将图8d中光敏三极管BG更换成光敏二极管VD或者光敏电阻,具体设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。

需要说明的是,由于第一衬底基板125和第二衬底基板127与环境光传感器的感光控制电路201相同,都采用mask工艺制作。因此,当环境光传感器的感光控制电路 201设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上或者第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上时,可以方便工艺生产,简化生产过程中的工位变更及设备变更。
示例二
本示例中,显示屏101为液晶显示屏(liquid crystal display,LCD)101。由于液晶显示屏不能自发光,因此需要背光模组(back light unit,BLU)向液晶显示屏101提供光源,以使得液晶显示屏101中如图10a所示的各个亚像素(sub pixel)105能够发光,从而实现图像显示。
上述LCD101可以包括如图10b(沿图10a中的虚线F-F进行剖切得到的剖视图)所示的,第一衬底基板125、彩膜(color filter,CF)基板604、液晶层601、第二衬底基板127,以及依次远离第二衬底基板127的触控层501、上偏光片502以及盖板503。在第一衬底基板125上,每个亚像素105内设置有像素(pixel)电路(图中未示出)。像素电路可以用于控制液晶层601中,与该像素电路所在的亚像素105位置处对应的液晶分子603的偏转角度,从而可以控制BLU提供的光线穿过该亚像素105的量,达到控制亚像素105显示灰阶的目的。
为了避免不同有效显示区AA之间的干扰,不同有效显示区AA之间设置有黑矩阵602,其中,黑矩阵602之间的区域即为有效显示区。此外,第一衬底基板125和第二衬底基板127之间形成有用于容纳液晶层601的液晶盒(cell)。第二衬底基板127用于避免空气中的水、氧进入液晶层601,对液晶分子603产生破坏。构成第一衬底基板125和第二衬底基板127的材料可以均为硬质的透明材料。例如,玻璃、蓝宝石、硬质的树脂材料等。在此情况下,上述第二衬底基板127可以为封装盖板。
在此情况下,在上述电子设备01具有能够根据光线对显示屏101的亮度进行调节的功能时,该电子设备01还包括环境光传感器的感光控制电路201,为了避免环境光传感器的感光控制电路201对像素光路的干扰,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201可以位于相邻两个亚像素105的有效显示区之间。
由上述可知,相邻两个亚像素105的有效显示区之间的位置即为与黑矩阵602对应的位置。而为了使环境光传感器的感光控制电路201可以位于相邻两个亚像素105的有效显示区之间,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201在第二衬底基板127上的垂直投影需位于黑矩阵602在第二衬底基板127上的垂直投影的范围内。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图10b所示,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201可以设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧。具体的,如图10c所示,可以直接在第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125一侧的表面上,制作上述环境光传感器的感光控制电路201中的第一开关晶体管Tc1和第一光敏元件。
在本示例中,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201在第二衬底基板127上的垂直投影位于黑矩阵602在第二衬底基板127上的垂直投影的范围内,其他设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。
此外,本示例中,第一光敏元件也可以设置为光敏二极管VD或光敏电阻,此时,在显示屏101的上述剖视图中,只是将图10c中光敏三极管BG更换成光敏二极管VD或者光敏电阻,具体设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图10d所示,显示屏101还可以包括触控层501,该触控层501设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧,此时,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201可以设置于触控层501远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上。为了避免环境光传感器的感光控制电路201对像素光路的干扰,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201在第二衬底基板127上的垂直投影需位于黑矩阵602在第二衬底基板127上的垂直投影的范围内,从而使得环境光传感器的感光控制电路201位于相邻两个亚像素105的有效显示区之间。
在本示例中,第一光敏元件也可以设置为光敏三极管BG、光敏二极管VD或光敏电阻,关于环境光传感器的感光控制电路201的设置方式,相比于上述将环境光传感器的感光控制电路201设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上的方式,只是将第二衬底基板127换成触控层501,其他相同,具体设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图10d所示,显示屏101还可以包括上偏光片502,该上偏光片502设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧,此时,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201可以设置于上偏光片502远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上。为了避免环境光传感器的感光控制电路201对像素光路的干扰,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201在第二衬底基板127上的垂直投影需位于黑矩阵602在第二衬底基板127上的垂直投影的范围内,从而使得环境光传感器的感光控制电路201位于相邻两个亚像素105的有效显示区之间。
在本实施例中,第一光敏元件也可以设置为光敏三极管BG、光敏二极管VD或光敏电阻,关于环境光传感器的感光控制电路201的设置方式,相比于上述将环境光传感器的感光控制电路201设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上的方式,只是将第二衬底基板127换成上偏光片502,其他相同,具体设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图10d所示,显示屏101还可以包括盖板503,该盖板503设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧,此时,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201可以设置于盖板503远离第一衬底基板125的一侧,或者,设置于盖板503远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上,且为了避免环境光传感器的感光控制电路201对像素光路的干扰,环境光传感器的感光控制电路201在第二衬底基板127上的垂直投影需位于黑矩阵602在第二衬底基板127上的垂直投影的范围内,从而使得环境光传感器的感光控制电路201位于相邻两个亚像素105的有效显示区之间。
在本实施例中,第一光敏元件也可以设置为光敏三极管BG、光敏二极管VD或光敏电阻,关于第一感光控制电路201的设置方式,相比于上述将环境光传感器的感光控制电路201设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上的方式,只是将第二衬底基板127换成盖板503,其他相同,具体设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,由于像素电路104可以控制液晶层601中液晶分子603的偏转角度,从而使得穿过亚像素105的光线的量不同,达到控制亚像素105显示灰阶的目的, 因此,液晶层下方存在不透光的情况。所以,为了方便制作,当显示屏101为液晶显示屏时,可以采用上述将感光控制电路201设置在液晶层601的上方的方案。
上述是以2a所示的光线传感器13为环境观传感器13a为例进行的说明。在本申请的另一些实施例中,用户在通话过程中,显示屏101贴近人的耳朵,人的视线无法看到显示屏101,而在此期间手机的显示屏101往往会一直亮着,如果用户的通话时间较长,此时,手机产生的功耗较大。
基于此,如图2a中的光线传感器13可以为接近光传感器。在此情况下,如图11a所示,该接近光传感器13b可以包括:发射器131和接收器132,发射器131用于向显示屏101的环境中发射出射光,例如该出射光可以波长为850nm左右的红外光。该出射光用于入射至位于显示屏101显示侧的被测物体。例如该被测物体可以为用户的面部或者手部。接收器132用于接收被测物体反射的反射光。
该电子设备例如还包括处理器,例如上述CPU,该处理器分别和该发射器131以及该接收器132信号连接。该处理器用于根据该发射器131发射的红外光和该接收器132接收的反射光计算该显示屏101与该被测物体之间的距离,例如,通过测量光脉冲从发射到被物体发射回来的时间,通过测时间间隔来计算与物体之间的距离。并根据该显示屏101与该被测物体之间的距离调整显示屏的亮度或控制显示屏的亮灭。
工作时,发射器131发出的红外光经由被测物体反射到接收器132处,处理器根据接收到的红外线光强来判断被测物体距离接近光传感器13b的距离,进而可以实现感知被测物体与显示屏101之间的距离的目的。当用户在通话过程中时,接近光传感器13b可以检测用户身体部位与显示屏101之间的距离,当距离小于预设值时,将屏幕关闭可减小电子设备01的功耗,同时,对于触摸屏手机,可以减少用户耳朵或手对手机屏幕的误操作。
或者,在屏下指纹使用中,接近光传感器13b可以及时确定用户手指与显示屏101的距离,从而可以及时唤醒屏下指纹,为快速启动识别流程做准备,否则使指纹继续处于睡眠状态,进一步降低功耗。
此外,图11a所示的像素单元202的设置方式同上所述,此处不再赘述。对于上述任意一种像素排布方式,任意两个相邻亚像素105之间的间隙可以不用于显示图像。
其中,接近光传感器13b通常采用不透光材料制成,为了避免显示屏101的亚像素和光线传感器13相互遮挡,影响显示屏101的正常显示,或对接近光传感器13b的灵敏度产生干扰,上述接近光传感器13b中的发射器131和接收器132位于该亚像素的间隙中。
该接近光传感器13b可以和像素单元202同层设置,也可以异层设置。本申请中将放置接近光传感器13b的层称为光感器件层,在接近光传感器13b的发射器131和接收器132同层设置时,光感器件层为一层;在接近光传感器13b的发射器131和接收器132不同层设置时,光感器件层为两层。光感器件层可以是一个虚拟的概念,即其设置在其他层(非显示层)内,例如在触控层中,不是一个独立的层;也可以是独立的一个层,例如位于两个层之间。在本申请的一些实施例中,例如可以将接近光传感器13b放置在像素单元202的显示驱动单元同一层上。本申请对该接近光传感器13b的具体位置不做限制,只需使得接近光传感器13b中的发射器131和接收器132在显 示层的垂直投影可以位于该亚像素105的间隙中。
由此,相比于传统的将接近光传感器13b设置于非显示区域的方式,由于该接近光传感器13b设置于亚像素105下发的间隙中,可以缩小非显示区域,从而提高电子设备的屏占比。同时,可以避免光线传感器,例如上述接近光传感器13b遮挡亚像素105出射的光线的光路。
当然,在本申请其他的实现方式中,接近光传感器13b也可以由透明材料制成,在此情况下,可以将接近光传感器13b设置在亚像素上方的叠层中,且上述接近光传感器13b中的发射器131和接收器132在显示区域1001的投影可以和亚像素105在显示区域1001的投影部分重合或全部重合,但接近光传感器13b和亚像素105独立,能降低传感器(器件本身以及传感器控制电路)阻挡的光量,这样也能减小接近光传感器13b对亚像素105出射的光线光路的影响,在实现光线检测功能的同时不降低屏幕显示效果。这些均属于本申请的保护范围。
本申请实施例对该接近光传感器13b的具体位置和数量不做限制,在本申请另一种实现方式中,接近光传感器13b的数量为四个,上述四个接近光传感器13b可以分别设定在如图11b所示的显示屏101的四个顶角对应的位置。
或者,在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图11c所示,接近光传感器13b的数量为八个,显示屏101的两侧可以分别设置四个接近光传感器13b,此时,接近光传感器13b既可以测试光线强度,对显示屏101的亮度进行调节,又可以检测手部遮挡位置,从而判断手部所在进行的操作。例如根据通话时用户的人脸与手机的距离确认是否需要熄屏,以及用户使用时的握姿确认是在跑步还是正常使用;还可以判断手机是否处于局部被遮挡状态用于匹配指纹传感器和/或前置摄像头的使用等。
本申请实施例对该发射器131的具体结构不做限制。在本申请一种实现方式中,所述发射器131包括如图13所示的发射控制电路2011,以及与发射控制电路2011连接的发光元件2012,发射控制电路2011用于接收外围电路发送的电信号,并根据该电信号触发发光元件2012,使得发光元件2012发射上述出射光,例如红外光。
该发射控制电路2011可以采用第三开关晶体管,其中,第三开关晶体管可以为薄膜晶体管(thin film transistor,TFT)或者MOS管。以下为了方便说明,均是以第三开关晶体管为TFT为例进行的说明。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,第三开关晶体管可以包括源极s,第三栅极(gate,g)309a、开关晶体管的有源层314,漏极d。
第三开关晶体管的源极s与该第三开关晶体管的有源层314的一端连接,第三开关晶体管的漏极d和第三开关晶体管的有源层314的另一端连接,第三栅极309a用于接收外围电路发送的电信号,该电信号可以控制第三开关晶体管的导通。
为了避免发射控制电路2011受到外界光线的破坏,显示屏101还可以包括第二遮光层303b,其中,第二遮光层303b位于第三开关晶体管的第三栅极309a远离第三开关晶体管的有源层314的一侧,且第二遮光层303b覆盖第三开关晶体管的第三栅极309a。
基于此,在本申请的一些实施例中,该发光元件2012具有如图13所示的发光层118,该发光层118一端与第三开关晶体管的漏极d连接,另一端连接有电极17。
在此情况下,第三栅极309a控制第三开关晶体管的有源层314导通时,可以向发光层118一侧的第三开关晶体管的漏极d通电。此外,再向电极17通电,在电场作用下,第三开关晶体管的漏极d和电极17中的载流子在发光层118中相遇,并激发出光子,从而使得发光层118发光。该发光层118可以采用PN结的发光方式,也可以采用PIN结构,该发光层118例如可以发射红外光。
本申请中以发光元件2012采用PN结的发光方式为例,其中,发射控制电路2011和发光元件2012电连接,是指发光元件2012的发光层118的一端与第三开关晶体管的漏极d连接。
该发光元件2012的红外发射材料可以采用砷化镓(GaAs)、砷铝化镓(GaAlAs);也可以采用有机红外发射涂料,例如掺杂的荧光材料,发射的波段范围可以是600-1000nm。
工作时,发射控制电路2011用于接收外围电路发送的电信号,并根据该电信号触发所述发光元件2012,使得发光元件2012发射红外光。
此外,发光元件2012的发射强度因发射方向而异。需要说明的是,发射方向为发射光线和法线的夹角。
当方向角度为零度时,其发射强度定义为100%,当方向角度越大时,其发射强度相对的减少。本申请实施例中,接近光传感器13b的检测距离通常为10-20cm,需使得发光元件2012发射的红外光在该检测距离内发射强度大于预设值。为了解决上述问题,显示屏101还可以包括如图13所示的第二挡光结构209,该第二挡光结构209设置于发光元件2012的出光面所在的一侧,且绕发光元件2012一周设置(如图14b所示),从而可以减小方向角,提高发光单元的发射强度。
本申请对该第二挡光结构的具体结构不做限制。在本申请的一些实施例中,发光元件2012的出光面可以为如图14b所示的圆形,此时,如图14a所示,发光元件2012的出光面的半径R2与第二挡光结构209的高度H2的比值为R2/H2=tanθ
2,当角度θ
2在5°~45°范围内时,可以缩小发射光的出射范围,使得光线更集中,从而使得检测结果更加准确。其中,角度θ
2为发射光与发光元件的出光面法线之间的夹角。例如,在本申请的一些实施例中,上述角度θ
2可以为5°、10°、15°、20°、30°或45°。
本申请实施例对接收器132的具体结构不做限制。在本申请一种实现方式中,如图15所示,接收器132包括感光控制电路,例如第二开关晶体管2021和与该第二开关晶体管2021连接的感光单元,例如第二光敏元件2022。
第二光敏元件2022用于接收被测物体反射的反射光,并进行光电转换,生成电信号,第二开关晶体管2021用于在处于导通状态时,输出第二光敏元件2022生成的电信号。第二光敏元件2022可以为上述光敏三极管、光敏电阻或者光敏二极管。该第二开关晶体管2021例如可以采用和上述发射控制电路2011相同的结构。
如图15所示,该第二光敏元件2022可以为光敏三极管BG。当给第二开关晶体管2021的第四栅极309b加载高电压,使第二开关晶体管2021导通,光敏三极管BG在第二开关晶体管2021导通后,提供给光敏三极管BG的第五栅极309c高电压,使光敏三极管BG导通。电极21工作时,当光线射至第二光敏元件2022的表面时,会导致第二光敏元件2022中的感光层26发生光电转换效应,使第二光敏元件2022的感光 层26的阻抗发生变化,而在第二光敏元件2022的感光层26的两端形成电荷的累积或者消耗(如图15所示,感光层26的左侧为正电荷,右侧为负电荷)。
在电场的作用下,上述第二光敏元件2022感光层26两端累积的电荷之间可以形成电流(如图15所示,电流的方向为正电荷指向负电荷的方向),当第二开关晶体管2021打开时,第二光敏元件2022输出电信号。
基于此,由上述可知,光线入射至第二光敏元件2022表面时,会转换成电信号,然而,外界光线中的非目标波段的光线进入第二光敏元件2022表面后,容易引起第二光敏元件2022误响应。所以为了解决上述问题。在本申请的一些实施例中,如图15所示,显示屏101还可以包括第二滤光层25。
该第二滤光层25设置于第二光敏元件2022的入光面所在的一侧,且覆盖第二光敏元件2022的入光面,第二滤光层25用于对入射至显示屏101的光线进行过滤,从而过滤掉第二光敏元件2022的非响应波段,提高感光控制电路2021光信号采集的准确性。
其中,第二滤光层25可以包括层叠的氧化硅(SiOx)层、氧化钛(TiOx)层,通过调整氧化硅(SiOx)层和氧化钛(TiOx)的层数和折射率,调整第二滤光层25可过滤的光线波段。例如,第二光敏元件2022对除了红外波段以外的波段不响应时,可以通过调整氧化硅(SiOx)层和氧化钛(TiOx)的层数和折射率,使得第二滤光层25可以过滤掉非目标波段的光线,从而使得被测物体反射的红外光能够透过第二滤光层25入射至第二光敏元件2022。
需要说明的是,本申请对SiOx和TiOx的层数、堆叠方式和折射率不做限定,本领域技术人员可以通过实验、测试、仿真等方式对SiOx和TiOx的层数、堆叠方式和折射率进行设置,只要能够根据第二光敏元件2022对光线波长的要求滤除非响应波段即可。
此外,由上述可知,第二光敏元件2022的各个感光单元2022位于相邻两个亚像素之间的间隙中,然而亚像素组成的像素单元由上述可知,能够显示图像,当该像素单元显示图像时,该像素单元发出的光线,会存在入射至亚像素之间的间隙的可能,从而导致影响第二光敏元件2022的采集结果。为了解决上述问题,显示屏101还可以包括如图16a所示的第三挡光结构208,该第三挡光结构208设置于第二光敏元件2022的入光面所在的一侧,且绕第二光敏元件2022的一周设置(如图16b所示),从而可以遮挡亚像素的光线入射至第二光敏元件2022。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第二光敏元件2022的入光面可以为如图16b所示的圆形,此时,如图16a所示,第二光敏元件2022的入光面的半径R3与第三挡光结构208的高度H3的比值为R3/H3=tanθ
3,当角度θ
3在5°~45°范围内时,可以缩小入射光的入射范围,避免非检测光线的射入,从而使得检测结果更加准确。其中,角度θ
3为入射光与感光元件,例如第二光敏元件2022的入光面法线之间的夹角。例如,在本申请的一些实施例中,上述角度θ
3可以为5°、10°、15°、20°、30°或45°。
以下以图12为例对制备显示屏101中接近光传感器13b的制作过程的工艺进行说明。本实施例中,该接近光传感器13b包括发射器131和接收器132,该发射器发射器131和接收器132集成在一起,在基板上正常进行半导体工艺的沉积或者溅射镀膜 就能进行制备。
首先,在第一衬底基板125(也可以称为衬底,例如柔性基板如聚酰亚胺PI基板,或硬性基板如玻璃基板)上,用化学气相沉积(chemical vapor deposition,CVD)的方法形成缓冲层311,之后,用物理气相沉积(physical vapor deposition,PVD)的方法在缓冲层311远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面形成发射控制电路2011(例如第三开关晶体管)和感光控制电路(例如,第二开关晶体管2021)的有源层314。
然后,在形成有缓冲层311的衬底上,采用CVD工艺形成栅极绝缘层312。该栅极绝缘层312覆盖上述第三开关晶体管和第二开关晶体管2021的有源层314。接下来,在栅极绝缘层312远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面用PVD工艺,可以同时形成发射控制电路2011(例如第三开关晶体管)的第三栅极309a和感光控制电路(例如,第二开关晶体管2021)的第四栅极309b,以及第二光敏元件2022的第五栅极309c。之后,采用CVD工艺形成覆盖在第三栅极309a、第四栅极309b以及第五栅极309c的中间层313。
之后,分别形成发射控制电路2011,例如第三开关晶体管的源极s、漏极d,以及发光元件2012的电极17、第二光敏元件2022的电极21,以及第二开关晶体管2021的源极s和漏极d。
接着,在第三开关晶体管的源极s、漏极d之间形成第二遮光层303b,且第二遮光层303b与第三开关晶体管的源极s、漏极d相连接。此外,在第二开关晶体管2021的源极s和漏极d之间形成第三遮光层303c。其中,构成该第二遮光层303b和第三遮光层303c的材料可以是黑色吸光材料(例如黑色光刻胶)或者表面镀层绝缘的金属(例如铝(Al)、钛(Ti)等),可以分别利用光刻或者金属溅射的方法制备。
然后,分别形成第二光敏元件2022的感光层26和发光元件2012的发光层118。其中,构成感光层26和发光层118的材料可以是传统的半导体材料,例如多晶硅、非晶硅等,可以通过CVD工艺制备,也可以是有机半导体材料,例如并五苯、异丙基硅炔基并五苯等,可以通过光刻与涂覆方法制备。
接下来,为了保证第二光敏元件2022采集光信号的准确性,如图12所示,可以在感光层26表面通过CVD工艺形成第二滤光层25,过滤掉非响应波段。
之后,用钝化层310覆盖第二滤光层25,并在钝化层310上形成第三挡光结构208和第二挡光结构209,其中,构成第三挡光结构208和第二挡光结构209的材料可以是黑色吸光材料(例如黑色光刻胶)或者表面镀层绝缘的金属(例如铝(Al)、钛(Ti)等),同样,可以分别利用光刻或者金属溅射的方法制备。
由上述可知,在本申请的实施例中,显示屏101可以包括设置于显示区的多个接近光传感器和多个像素单元。在此情况下,接近光传感器位于相邻两个像素单元的有效显示区之间。基于此,发射器131包括:发射控制电路2011,以及与所述发射控制电路2011连接的发光元件2012,发射控制电路2011用于接收外围电路发送的电信号,并根据电信号触发发光元件2012,使得发光元件2012发射红外光。接收器132包括第二开关晶体管2021和与第二开关晶体管2021连接的第二光敏元件2022。第二光敏元件2022用于接收被测物体001反射的反射光,并进行光电转换,生成电信号。第二开关晶体管2021用于读取所述电信号,并输出所述电信号。从而可以根据获取的电信 号对显示屏101的亮度进行调节,防止用户误触,同时,相比与传统的将接近光传感器设置于刘海区的方式,由于该接近光传感器设置于显示屏101的有效显示区内,可以无需专门设置凹槽,因此,可以缩小显示屏101的刘海区域,从而提高电子设备01的屏占比。
上述是对接近光传感器13b具体结构的说明,以下以下对具有该感光控制电路2021的显示屏101的结构进行举例说明。
示例三
本示例中,显示屏101为能够自发光的显示屏。
如图17所示,上述能够自发光的显示屏可以具有阵列排布的多个亚像素。此外,上述显示屏101包括位于亚像素内的像素电路和发光元件。像素电路驱动发光元件发光,以使得显示屏101中的各个亚像素能够按照预设的灰阶进行显示。
在本申请的一些实施例中,上述发光元件可以为OLED器件。或者,在本申请的另一些实施例中,上述发光元件可以为微型的LED,例如micro LED,或者mini LED。本申请对发光元件的类型不做限定,只要发光元件能够在像素电路的驱动下进行发光即可。以下为了方便说明,均是以发光元件为OLED为例进行的举例说明。

在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图17所示,显示屏101还可以包括上偏光片502,该上偏光片502设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧,此时,接近光传感器13b可以设置于上偏光片502远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上。为了避免接近光传感器13b对像素光路的干扰,接近光传感器13b中的发射器131和接收器132在第二衬底基板127上的投影位于像素单元在第二衬底基板127上的投影的间隙中。
在本实施例中,第二光敏元件2022可以为光敏三极管、光敏二极管VD或光敏电阻,关于接近光传感器13b的设置方式,相比于上述接近光传感器13b设置于第一衬底基板125靠近发光元件的一侧表面的方式,只是将第一衬底基板125换成上偏光片502,其他相同,具体设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图17所示,显示屏101还包括盖板503,该盖板503设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧,此时,接近光传感器13b可以设置于盖板503靠近第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上。为了避免接近光传感器13b对像素光路的干扰,接近光传感器13b中的发射器131和接收器132在第二衬底基板127上的投影位于像素单元在第二衬底基板127上的投影的间隙中。
其中,需要说明的是,盖板503上例如还设有:多个层叠设置的光学膜层,在本申请另一些实施例中,还可以将接近光传感器13b设置在盖板503和该光学膜层之间,这些均属于本申请的保护范围。
在本实施例中,第二光敏元件2022可以为光敏三极管、光敏二极管VD或光敏电阻,关于接近光传感器13b的设置方式,相比于上述接近光传感器13b设置于第一衬底基板125靠近发光元件2021的一侧表面的方式,只是将第一衬底基板125换成盖板503,其他相同,具体设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,在第一衬底基板125上制作接近光传感器13b时,其制备工艺和在第一衬底基板125上制作像素电路中的晶体管的制备工艺相同。在第一衬底基板125上可以同时制作该接近光传感器13b和像素电路,可以方便工艺生产,简化生产过程中的工位变更及设备变更。
上述实施例中接近光传感器13b中的发射器131和接收器132集成在一起,设置在显示屏101的同一层,在本申请其他的实现方式中,也可以将接近光传感器13b中的发射器131和接收器132设置在显示屏101的不同层。
示例性的,可以将发射器131设置在第二衬底基板127上,并将接收器132设置在第一衬底基板125上,发射器131和接收器132在第一衬底基板125上的投影分离。

此外,当发射器131和接收器132在竖直方向的投影重叠时,被测物体001返回的光会被发射器131所阻挡,影响检测灵敏度。
本申请实施例中,发射器131和接收器132在第一衬底基板125上的投影分离,也即发射器131和所述接收器132在竖直方向(显示屏的厚度方向)不重合,可以避免发射器131和接收器132之间相互干扰,提高光线传感器13的检测灵敏度。
需要说明的是,由于第一衬底基板125在第二衬底基板127下方,将发射器131设置在第一衬底基板125上,将接收器132设置在第二衬底基板127上时,会使得发射器131发出的部分红外光直接被接收器132接收,影响检测的灵敏度,因此,将发射器131设置在接收器132所在层上方,可进一步提高检测灵敏度,所以,在设置光线传感器13时,将发射器131设置在接收器132所在层的上方为优选方案。
上述仅以分别将发射器131和接收器132设置在第一衬底基板125和第二衬底基 板127上为例进行说明,在本申请其他的实现方式中,还可以将发射器131和接收器132分别设置在触控层501、上偏光片502、盖板503等不同的层。只需使得发射器131所在层高于接收器132所在层即可,这些均属于本申请的保护范围。

此外,LCD还可以包括第二衬底基板127,用于避免空气中的水、氧进入液晶层601,对液晶分子产生破坏。
基于此,在本申请的一些实施例中,发光元件构成第一衬底基板125和第二衬底基板127的材料可以均为硬质的透明材料。例如,玻璃、蓝宝石、硬质的树脂材料等。在此情况下,上述第二衬底基板127可以为封装盖板。

此外,本示例中,第二光敏元件2022可以为光敏三极管、光敏二极管VD或光敏电阻,此时,在显示屏101的上述剖视图中,只是将图7中第二光敏元件2022更换成光敏二极管VD或者光敏电阻,具体设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图18所示,显示屏101还可以包括触控层501,该触控层501设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧,此时,接近光传感器13b可以设置于触控层501。为了避免接近光传感器13b对像素光路的干扰,接近光传感器13b中的发射器131和接收器132在第二衬底基板127上的投影位于像素单元在第二衬底基板127上的投影的间隙中。
在本示例中,第二光敏元件2022可以为光敏三极管、光敏二极管VD或光敏电阻,关于接近光传感器13b的设置方式,相比于上述将接近光传感器13b设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上的方式,只是将第二衬底基板127换成触控层501,其他相同,具体设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图18所示,显示屏101还可以包括上偏光片502,该上偏光片502设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧,此时,接近 光传感器13b可以设置于上偏光片502远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上。为了避免接近光传感器13b对像素光路的干扰,接近光传感器13b中的发射器131和接收器132在第二衬底基板127上的投影位于像素单元在所述第二衬底基板127上的投影的间隙中。
在本实施例中,第二光敏元件2022可以为光敏三极管、光敏二极管VD或光敏电阻,关于接近光传感器13b的设置方式,相比于上述将接近光传感器13b设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上的方式,只是将第二衬底基板127换成上偏光片,其他相同,具体设置同上所述,此处不再赘述。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图18所示,显示屏101还可以包括盖板503,该盖板503设置于第二衬底基板127远离第一衬底基板125的一侧,此时,接近光传感器13b光线传感器13可以设置于盖板503远离第一衬底基板125的一侧表面上,且为了避免接近光传感器13b对像素光路的干扰,接近光传感器13b中的发射器131和接收器132在第二衬底基板127上的投影位于像素单元在第二衬底基板127上的投影的间隙中。

需要说明的是,由于像素电路可以控制液晶层601中液晶分子的偏转角度,从而使得穿过亚像素的光线的量不同,达到控制亚像素显示灰阶的目的,因此,液晶层601601下方存在不透光的情况。所以,为了方便制作,当显示屏101为液晶显示屏时,本申请优先考虑将接近光传感器13b设置在液晶层601的上方。
