详细描述
为使本公开的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开作进一步详细的说明。显然,所描述的实施例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作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。
参照图1,示出了本公开实施例的第一种显示基板的结构示意图,图2示出了本公开实施例的第二种显示基板的结构示意图,图3示出了本公开实施例的第三种显示基板的结构示意图,图4示出了图1所示的显示基板沿截面A-A’的局部剖视图,图5示出了图1所示的显示基板沿截面B-B’的局部剖视图,图6示出了图1所示的显示基板沿截面C-C’的局部剖视图。
本公开实施例提供了一种显示基板,包括衬底基板101、形成在衬底基板101上的第一电极层102,以及形成在第一电极层102上的第一像素界定层103和第二像素界定层104;第一像素界定层103将衬底基板101划分为多个像素区域105,每个像素区域105包括沿第一方向分布的多个子像素区域1050,且相邻两个子像素区域1050通过第二像素界定层104分隔;在第一方向上,每个像素区域105与第一像素界定层103相接触的表面包括多个第一曲面1061和多个第二曲面1062,多个第一曲面1061相互连接,多个第二曲面1062相互连接,且第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062均背向所属的像素区域105凸出设置。
在本公开实施例中,衬底基板101实际上是包括第一基板、形成在第一基板上的驱动晶体管和覆盖驱动晶体管的平坦层的结构。第一基板可以为玻璃基板、石英基板、金属基板、树脂基板等;驱动晶体管包括形成在第一基 板上的栅极,覆盖栅极和第一基板的栅绝缘层,形成在栅绝缘层上的有源层,部分覆盖栅绝缘层和有源层的源漏电极层,以及覆盖源漏电极层、有源层和栅绝缘层的钝化层,源漏电极层包括源极和漏极;平坦层实际上是覆盖驱动晶体管中的钝化层。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例的驱动晶体管可以不局限于上述的结构,其他结构也可适用于本方案,如双栅结构的驱动晶体管或者顶栅结构的驱动晶体管;此外,平坦层的材料可以为树脂材料。
在形成衬底基板101之后,在衬底基板101上形成第一电极层102,为了简化第一电极层102的绘制,图4至图6所示的剖视图是将第一电极层102绘制成整面的电极,可以理解的是,本公开实施例中的第一电极层102实际上包括多个相互绝缘且阵列分布的第一电极,第一电极通过贯穿平坦层和钝化层的过孔与驱动晶体管的漏极连接,第一电极实际上为一个子像素的阳极,用于驱动对应的子像素发光。具体地,第一电极层102的材料为透明导电材料,如氧化铟锡(Indium Tin Oxide,ITO)等,且第一电极层102包括的多个第一电极的形状与后续形成的子像素区域的形状一致。
在衬底基板101上形成第一电极层102之后,在第一电极层102上形成第一像素界定层103和第二像素界定层104,第一像素界定层103和第二像素界定层104同层设置。第一像素界定层103将衬底基板101划分为多个像素区域105,每个像素区域105包括沿第一方向分布的多个子像素区域1050,在第一方向上,将每个像素区域105与第一像素界定层103相接触的表面设置成多个第一曲面1061和多个第二曲面1062,多个第一曲面1061相互连接,多个第二曲面1062相互连接,且第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062均背向所属的像素区域105凸出设置,则使得在与衬底基板101平行的平面上,子像素区域105沿与第一方向垂直的第二方向上的宽度增加。
也就是说,针对同一像素区域105,其对应的第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062均背向该像素区域105凸出设置,而该像素区域105对应的第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062,是朝向与该像素区域105在第二方向上相邻的像素区域105凸出设置的。
例如,针对图1中的第一行第二列的像素区域105,其对应的第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062均背向第一行第二列的像素区域105凸出设置,而第一 行第二列的像素区域105对应的第一曲面1061是朝向第一行第一列的像素区域105凸出设置的,且第一行第二列的像素区域105对应的第二曲面1062是朝向第一行第三列的像素区域105凸出设置的。
针对相关的显示基板,其可以是通过像素界定层将显示基板划分为孤立的多个子像素区域,在打印有机功能材料时,一个喷嘴对应在一个子像素区域内进行喷墨打印;相关的显示基板也可以是通过第一像素界定层将显示基板划分为多个呈线型分布的像素区域,再通过像素区域内的第二像素界定层将像素区域划分为多个子像素区域(即line bank结构),在打印有机功能材料时,一个喷嘴对应一个像素区域,对该像素区域内的多个子像素区域同时进行喷墨打印。但是,无论是哪种相关的显示基板,其对应的子像素区域20的形状如图7所示,均为矩形,其沿第二方向上的宽度为d2,而本公开实施例的每个子像素区域1050沿第二方向上的宽度为d1,则在子像素区域面积相等的情况下,相对于相关的子像素区域20,本公开实施例的每个子像素区域1050沿第二方向上的宽度增加,即宽度d1大于宽度d2,后续在像素区域105内进行喷墨打印时,每个子像素区域1050内沿第二方向上的成膜均匀性得到提高。
此外,本公开实施例是通过第二像素界定层104将相邻两个子像素区域1050分隔,且每个像素区域105包括沿第一方向分布的多个子像素区域1050,则后续在像素区域105内进行喷墨打印时,有机功能材料沿着第一方向流入各个子像素区域1050,则有机功能材料会沿第一方向会均匀分布在各个子像素区域1050内,有机功能材料干燥后只有第一方向最边缘位置处会在第一像素界定层103上有攀爬,中间位置处的有机功能材料均匀成膜,则本公开实施例沿第一方向呈线型分布的各个子像素区域1050内的成膜均匀性均也得到提高。
如图1至图3所示,第一方向为衬底基板101的列方向,则第二方向为衬底基板101的行方向;当然,第一方向也可以为衬底基板101的行方向,则第二方向为衬底基板101的列方向。
其中,第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062相对设置,第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062在衬底基板101上的正投影为圆弧形,针对任一个像素区域105,其对应的第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062的个数相等,且第一曲面1061和第 二曲面1062在衬底基板101上的正投影对应的曲率半径相等。
进一步地,每个像素区域105与第一像素界定层103相接触的第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062的个数大于或等于2。
如图1至图3所示,每个像素区域105与第一像素界定层103相接触的第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062的个数为3个,当然,每个像素区域105与第一像素界定层103相接触的第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062的个数也可以为2个、4个、5个等。
在本公开实施例中,如图1至图3所示,第二像素界定层104包括设置在每个像素区域105内的第一像素界定结构1041和第二像素界定结构1042;第一像素界定结构1041设置在第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062之间,且位于第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062沿第二方向上的最大间距处,其中,第二方向与第一方向垂直;第二像素界定结构1042的一端位于相邻两个第一曲面1061的连接位置,第二像素界定结构1042的另一端位于相邻两个第二曲面1062的连接位置,且第二像素界定结构1042的两端的连线位于第二方向上。
通过第一像素界定结构1041和第二像素界定结构1042将每个像素区域105分隔成多个子像素区域1050,使得在同一面积下,相对于仅在像素区域105内设置第一像素界定结构1041或第二像素界定结构1042的显示基板,本公开实施例的显示基板具有更高的PPI(Pixels Per Inch,每英寸像素数目)。
并且,将第一像素界定结构1041设置在第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062之间沿第二方向上的最大间距处,而第二像素界定结构1042设置在第一曲面1061的连接位置和第二曲面1062的连接位置处(即第一曲面1061的第二曲面1062之间沿第二方向上的最小间距处),使得在采用喷墨打印设备的喷嘴,在像素区域105内沿第一方向的中轴线打印有机功能材料时,喷墨打印的位置与子像素区域1050的各个边缘位置的距离基本上相等,则进一步提高各个子像素区域1050内的成膜均匀性。
此外,将第二像素界定结构1042设置在两个第一曲面1061的连接位置和两个第二曲面1062的连接位置处,使得子像素区域1050的连接部分的宽度变窄,则可调整有机功能材料在各个子像素区域1050之间的流动速度,从而进一步改善各个子像素区域1050内的成膜均匀性;针对相关的line bank结构,在打印有机功能材料时,有机功能材料在各个子像素区域之间的流动速 度较大,当子像素区域内存在杂质颗粒(particles)时,有机功能材料容易在particles周围聚集,导致成膜不均匀,而本公开实施例通过将子像素区域1050的连接部分的宽度变窄,调整有机功能材料在各个子像素区域1050之间的流动速度,从而也可改善particles引起的有机功能材料的聚集问题,进一步提高成膜均匀性。
如图1所示,针对同一像素区域105,任意相邻两个第一曲面1061直接连接,任意相邻两个第二曲面1062直接连接;第二像素界定结构1042分别与第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062接触,且位于第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062沿第二方向上的最小间距处。
在任一个像素区域105中,当任意相邻两个第一曲面1061直接连接,任意相邻两个第二曲面1062直接连接时,第二像素界定结构1042在衬底基板101上的正投影包括相互平行设置的第一直线段和第二直线段,以及设置在第一直线段和第二直线段之间且与第一直线段和第二直线段分别连接的第一连接线和第二连接线,第一连接线和第二连接线均包括两个相互连接的弧线段,且第一连接线和第二连接线在朝向所属的像素区域105的方向凹陷设置。
如图2和图3所示,针对同一像素区域105,任意相邻两个第一曲面1061通过第一连接部1063连接,任意相邻两个第二曲面1062通过第二连接部1064连接;第二像素界定结构1042分别与第一连接部1063和第二连接部1064接触;第一连接部1063和第二连接部1064在衬底基板101上的正投影为沿着第一方向分布的直线段。
在任一个像素区域105中,当任意相邻两个第一曲面1061通过第一连接部1063连接,任意相邻两个第二曲面1062通过第二连接部1064连接时,第二像素界定结构1042在衬底基板101上的正投影为矩形。
需要说明的是,针对相同PPI的显示基板,图1所示的显示基板的子像素区域1050的开口率会大于图2和图3所示的显示基板的子像素区域1050的开口率。
其中,在第一方向上,第二像素界定结构1042的宽度大于或等于第一连接部1063和第二连接部1064的宽度。如图2所示,第二像素界定结构1042的宽度等于第一连接部1063和第二连接部1064的宽度,如图3所示,第二像素界定结构1042的宽度大于第一连接部1063和第二连接部1064的宽度。
在本公开实施例中,在垂直于衬底基板101的方向上,第二像素界定层104的厚度h1小于第一像素界定层103的厚度h2。
具体地,第一像素界定层103的厚度h2为1.5μm至3μm,第二像素界定层104的厚度h1小于或等于1μm。
通过控制第二像素界定层104的厚度h1小于第一像素界定层103的厚度h2,使得在第一像素界定层103限定的像素区域105内打印有机功能材料时,有机功能材料可以从第二像素界定层104上流过,从而流入各个子像素区域1050内,且保证有机功能材料不会从第一像素界定层103上流到相邻的其他的像素区域内。
在本公开实施例中,有机功能材料包括发光材料,针对沿第一方向分布的各个像素区域105,其可打印同一种颜色的发光材料,而沿第二方向分布的各个像素区域105,其打印的发光材料的颜色有所不同,如针对图1至图3中的第一列像素区域105,其可以打印红色发光材料,针对图1至图3中的第二列像素区域105,其可以打印绿色发光材料,针对图1至图3中的第三列像素区域105,其可以打印蓝色发光材料。而每个像素区域105内的各个子像素区域1050内打印的发光材料的颜色为同一种颜色。
在本公开实施例中,通过将像素区域与第一像素界定层相接触的表面设置成多个第一曲面和多个第二曲面,且该第一曲面和第二曲面均背向所属的像素区域凸出设置,使得在与衬底基板平行的平面上,子像素区域沿与第一方向垂直的第二方向上的宽度增加,则在像素区域内进行喷墨打印时,有机功能材料沿着第一方向流入各个子像素区域,使得子像素区域内沿第一方向和第二方向上的成膜均匀性均得到提高,从而提高了发光器件的亮度均匀性。
本公开实施例还提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板包括上述的显示基板。
关于显示基板的具体描述可以参照上文实施例的描述,本公开实施例对此不再赘述。
在本公开实施例中,显示面板还包括形成在各个子像素区域1050内的有机功能层,覆盖有机功能层、第一像素界定层103和第二像素界定层104的阴极,以及封装层。
在本公开一种实施例方式中,有机功能层仅包括发光层,通过喷墨打印,在各个像素区域105内打印发光材料,发光材料流入各个子像素区域1050内, 干燥、烘烤处理后,以形成发光层。
在本公开另一种实施例方式中,有机功能层包括空穴注入层、空穴传输层、发光层、电子传输层和电子注入层,通过喷墨打印,在各个像素区域105内依次打印空穴注入材料、空穴传输材料、发光材料、电子传输材料和电子注入材料,并进行干燥、烘烤处理后,以在像素区域105内的各个子像素区域1050内依次形成空穴注入层、空穴传输层、发光层、电子传输层和电子注入层。
在像素区域105内的各个子像素区域1050内依次形成空穴注入层、空穴传输层、发光层、电子传输层和电子注入层之后,形成第二电极层,该第二电极为阴极,最后,对形成有阴极的显示基板进行封装,得到显示面板。
本公开实施例还提供了一种显示装置,包括上述的显示面板。
在实际应用中,该显示装置可以为:手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
在本公开实施例中,通过将像素区域与第一像素界定层相接触的表面设置成多个第一曲面和多个第二曲面,且该第一曲面和第二曲面均背向所属的像素区域凸出设置,使得在与衬底基板平行的平面上,子像素区域沿与第一方向垂直的第二方向上的宽度增加,则在像素区域内进行喷墨打印时,有机功能材料沿着第一方向流入各个子像素区域,使得子像素区域内沿第一方向和第二方向上的成膜均匀性均得到提高,从而提高了发光器件的亮度均匀性。
参照图8,示出了本公开实施例的一种显示基板的制作方法的流程图,具体可以包括以下步骤:
步骤801,提供衬底基板。
在本公开实施例中,首先制作衬底基板101。具体地,先提供第一基板,在第一基板上采用构图工艺形成栅极,接着,形成覆盖栅极和第一基板的栅绝缘层,在栅绝缘层上通过构图工艺形成有源层,然后,采用构图工艺形成部分覆盖栅绝缘层和有源层的源漏电极层,该源漏电极层包括源极和漏极,接着,形成盖源漏电极层、有源层和栅绝缘层的钝化层,最后,在钝化层上形成平坦层,得到衬底基板101。
步骤802,在所述衬底基板上形成第一电极层。
在本公开实施例中,在制作得到衬底基板101之后,采用构图工艺在衬 底基板101上形成第一电极层102。具体地,在衬底基板101上沉积第一电极薄膜,在第一电极薄膜上涂覆光刻胶,采用掩膜板对第一电极薄膜上的光刻胶进行曝光、显影,然后,刻蚀掉未覆盖有光刻胶的第一电极薄膜,最后,去除第一电极薄膜上剩余的光刻胶,得到第一电极层102。
步骤803,在所述第一电极层上形成第一像素界定层和第二像素界定层。
在本公开实施例中,在衬底基板101上形成第一电极层102之后,采用构图工艺在第一电极层102上形成第一像素界定层103和第二像素界定层104,第一像素界定层103和第二像素界定层104的材料可以为聚酰亚胺。
具体地,在第一电极层102上涂覆像素界定薄膜,采用半色调掩膜板对像素界定薄膜进行曝光、显影,则可同时得到第一像素界定层103和第二像素界定层104,即第一像素界定层103和第二像素界定层104采用半色调掩膜工艺一次形成。
在半色调掩膜板中,与第一像素界定层103和第二像素界定层104对应的区域,其光线的透过率不同,因此,可得到高度不一致的第一像素界定层103和第二像素界定层104。
其中,第一像素界定层103将衬底基板101划分为多个像素区域105,每个像素区域105包括沿第一方向分布的多个子像素区域1050,且相邻两个子像素区域1050通过第二像素界定层104分隔;在第一方向上,每个像素区域105与第一像素界定层103相接触的表面包括多个第一曲面1061和多个第二曲面1062,多个第一曲面1061相互连接,多个第二曲面1062相互连接,且第一曲面1061和第二曲面1062均背向所属的像素区域105凸出设置。
在本公开实施例中,通过将像素区域与第一像素界定层相接触的表面设置成多个第一曲面和多个第二曲面,且该第一曲面和第二曲面均背向所属的像素区域凸出设置,使得在与衬底基板平行的平面上,子像素区域沿与第一方向垂直的第二方向上的宽度增加,则在像素区域内进行喷墨打印时,有机功能材料沿着第一方向流入各个子像素区域,使得子像素区域内沿第一方向和第二方向上的成膜均匀性均得到提高,从而提高了发光器件的亮度均匀性。
对于前述的方法实施例,为了简单描述,故将其都表述为一系列的动作组合,但是本领域技术人员应该知悉,本公开并不受所描述的动作顺序的限制,因为依据本公开,某些步骤可以采用其他顺序或者同时进行。其次,本 领域技术人员也应该知悉,说明书中所描述的实施例均属于优选实施例,所涉及的动作和模块并不一定是本公开所必须的。
