Description
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种显示面板的制作方法及显示面板、以及包括该显示面板的显示装置。
近年来,显示技术不断发展,其中,外延结构通过转移技术转移到电路基板上一直是显示技术领域研究的热点。
目前,一般是通过晶圆键合技术将生长基板上的外延结构转移到电路基板上,然而,传统的晶圆键合技术往往选用金属在400℃下键合,电路基板与生长基板热膨胀系数差异明显,高温键合制程中常常出现热失配导致的分层问题,影响显示质量。
因此,如何实现将生长基板上的外延结构低温转移至电路基板,以避免高温键合出现热失配导致的分层现象是亟需解决的问题。
发明内容

可选地,所述第一金属层包括依次层叠设置的第一金属子层、第二金属子层以及第三金属子层,所述第一金属子层层叠在所述外延结构上;所述第二金属层包括依次层叠设置的第四金属子层、第五金属子层以及第六金属子层,所述第六金属子层层叠在所述电路基板上;在对所述第一金属层与所述第二金属层活化处理的过程中,所述第三金属子层部分刻蚀掉,以露出所述第二金属子层,所述第四金属子层部分刻蚀掉,以露出所述第五金属子层,残留的所述第三金属子层与残留的所述第四金属子层键合连接,露出的所述第二金属子层与露出的所述第五金属子层键合连接。
在对第一金属层和第二金属层进行表面活化处理的过程中,表层的第三金属子层和第四金属子层会被刻蚀掉,通过对表面活化工艺的控制,可以使得第三金属子层和第四金属子层不完全被刻蚀(即第一金属层上保留一部分第三金属子层,第二金属层上保留一部分第四金属子层),通过对第二金属子层和第五金属子层表面粗糙度的控制,使得第二金属子层和第五金属子层具有较大的粗糙度,这样第二金属子层和第五金属子层的表面具有波峰和波谷,活化的过程中可以保留第二金属子层和第五金属子层表面上的部分第三金属子层和第四金属子层,键合的过程中,第二金属子层和第五金属子层表面上的部分残留的第三金属子层和第四 金属子层相互键合且第二金属子层和第五金属子层相互键合,由于第二金属子层和第五金属子层及残留的第三金属子层和残留的第四金属子层的双重键合作用增加了键合强度。
可选地,具体而言,部分刻蚀的过程中,所述第二金属子层朝向所述第三金属子层的表面包括第一波峰和第一波谷,所述第五金属子层朝向所述第四金属子层的表面包括第二波峰和第二波谷,在对所述第一金属层与所述第二金属层活化处理的过程中,所述第三金属子层部分刻蚀掉,以露出所述第二金属子层的所述第一波峰和部分所述第一波谷且其余所述第一波谷内残留部分所述第三金属子层,所述第四金属子层部分刻蚀掉,以露出所述第五金属子层的所述第二波峰和部分所述第二波谷且其余所述第二波谷内残留部分所述第四金属子层,露出的所述第一波峰和露出的部分所述第一波谷与露出的所述第二波峰和露出的部分所述第二波谷键合连接,所述第一波谷内残留的所述第三金属子层与所述第二波谷内残留的所述第四金属子层键合连接。露出的第二金属子层和露出的第五金属子层及残留的第三金属子层和第四金属子层的双重键合作用增加了键合强度。
可选地,所述第一金属子层、所述第三金属子层、所述第四金属子层和所述第六金属子层的材质包括钛。具体而言,第一金属层和第二金属层为结构相同的三层金属结构,由于钛具有一定的粘接作用,第二金属子层直接沉积在外延结构或第五金属子层直接沉积在电路基板时结合效果不理想,通过在电路基板和外延结构上设置一层钛金属(即第一金属子层和第六金属子层为钛金属),可以起到粘接第二金属子层和外延结构及第五金属子层和电路基板的作用,增加层间结合强度。第三金属子层和第四金属子层为钛金属,一方面,钛金属会对第二金属子层和第五金属子层起到保护作用,避免第二金属子层和第五金属子层直接暴露在环境时表面形成或者粘附有机膜层或者其他杂质,有机膜层会导致第二金属子层和第五金属子层的表面的活化不易处理,另一方面,活化处理的过程中可以保留一部分第三金属子层和第四金属子层的钛金属,这样第二金属子层和第五金属子层及残留的第三金属子层和第四金属子层的双重键合作用增加了键合强度。
可选地,所述第二金属子层和所述第五金属子层的材质包括铂、金、铜、铝中的一种且为同种金属。铂、金、铜、铝等金属易于活化,活化后的铂原子、金原子、铜原子或者铝原子容易发生原子扩散实现键合连接。
可选地,所述第二金属子层和所述第五金属子层的粗糙度均为1nm-10nm。第二金属子层及第五金属子层的粗糙度会影响键合制程,第二金属子层及第五金属子层的粗糙度大于10nm,粗糙度过大,第二金属子层及第五金属子层的表面起伏较大,第二金属子层及第五金属子层相互对接键合时接触的面积较小,影响键合强度,第二金属子层及第五金属子层的粗糙度小于1nm,不利于其他材料的附着。
可选地,在垂直于所述显示面板所在平面的方向上,所述第一金属子层和所 述第六金属子层的厚度均为20nm-100nm。第一金属子层和第六金属子层的厚度小于20nm,粘接作用较弱,第一金属子层和第六金属子层的厚度大于100nm,欧姆接触电阻高且增加了显示面板的厚度,不利于显示面板的轻薄化。
可选地,在垂直于所述显示面板所在平面的方向上,所述第二金属子层和所述第五金属子层的厚度均为50nm-150nm。第二金属子层和第五金属子层的厚度小于50nm时,由于第二金属子层和第五金属子层的铂金属的电导率较低,第二金属子层和第五金属子层太薄时导致第二金属子层和第五金属子层的电阻大、热效应明显,第二金属子层和第五金属子层的厚度大于150nm时,由于厚度过厚,不利于刻蚀。
可选地,在垂直于所述显示面板所在平面的方向上,未刻蚀前的所述第三金属子层和所述第四金属子层的厚度均为10nm-50nm。第三金属子层和第四金属子层的厚度小于10nm时,厚度过薄,第三金属子层和第四金属子层分布不均匀,可能存在部分区域没有沉积上第三金属子层和第四金属子层的情况,第三金属子层和第四金属子层的厚度大于50nm时,厚度过厚,影响对第二金属层的活化效果。
可选地,制作所述显示面板的步骤还包括:对剥离生长基板后的显示面板进行刻蚀,在经过刻蚀处理的外表面沉积钝化层;在所述钝化层上沉积氧化铟锡(Indium Tin Oxide,ITO)层;对所述ITO层进行高温退火处理。钝化层可以为二氧化硅钝化层,对ITO进行高温退火的过程中(此时,生长基板已经被剥离,不存在高温时因生长基板和电路基板热膨胀系数差异大造成的分层问题),键合层也处于高温环境中,可以对低温键合后的第一金属层和第二金属层进行进一步的键合加固,增强键合强度。
第二方面,基于同样的发明构思,本申请还提供一种显示面板,其特征在于,包括多个磊晶结构和第二基板,所述磊晶结构阵列排布于所述第二基板上;每个所述磊晶结构包括依次层叠设置的外延结构以及第一金属层,所述第二基板包括电路基板与层叠在所述电路基板上的第二金属层,所述第一金属层与所述第二金属层键合连接,其中,所述第一金属层经过活化处理且所述第二金属层经过活化处理。
本申请设置第一金属层和第二金属层在室温下键合,具体而言,第一金属层和第二金属层在室温下相互接触时会发生原子扩散现象,使得第一金属层和第二金属层相互粘接实现键合,以将外延结构转移至电路基板。本申请的键合工艺是在室温下进行的,避免了目前在高温键合制程中,因电路基板和生长基板的热膨胀系数差异大出现热失配导致的分层问题,有利于显示面板显示性能的提高。
可选地,所述电路基板包括多个凹槽,每个所述凹槽的底部设置有第一电极;所述第二金属层层叠在多个所述电路基板上且填充所述凹槽与所述第一电极接触;所述第一金属层和所述第二金属层键合后形成导电体,所述外延结构通过所 述导电体与所述第一电极电连接。第一电极为正极,第一电极可以为铝电极,第一金属层和第二金属层为导电体,外延结构通过导电体与第一电极电连接,实现电路的导通,避免了需要设置其它导电结构以将外延结构和第一电极电连接的操作,简化了工艺,降低了成本。
可选地,所述外延结构背离所述第一金属层的一侧设有第二电极,所述外延结构与所述第二电极电连接。外延结构的两侧分别实现与第一电极和第二电极的电连接,实现电路的导通。
可选地,所述外延结构包括依次层叠设置的P型外延层、多量子阱层和N型外延层,所述P型外延层位于所述第一金属层上,所述P型外延层通过所述导电体与所述第一电极电连接,所述N型外延层与所述第二电极电连接,所述P型外延层的空穴与所述N型外延层的电子在所述多量子阱层复合产生光子,所述光子用于发光。P型外延层通过键合后的第一金属层和第二金属层实现与第一电极的电连接,N型外延层直接与第二电极电连接,本申请的显示面板可以采用共阴极设计,第二电极为ITO导电层。

为了便于理解本申请,下面将参照相关附图对本申请进行更全面的描述。附图中给出了本申请的较佳实施方式。但是,本申请可以以许多不同的形式来实现,并不限于本文所描述的实施方式。相反地,提供这些实施方式的目的是使对本申请的公开内容理解的更加透彻全面。
除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本申请的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本申请的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施方式的目的,不是旨在于限制本申请。
目前,一般是通过晶圆键合技术将生长基板上的外延结构转移到电路基板上,然而,传统的晶圆键合技术往往选用金属在400℃下键合,电路基板与生长基板热膨胀系数差异明显,高温键合制程中常常出现热失配导致的分层问题,影响显示质量。
基于此,本申请希望提供一种能够解决上述技术问题的方案,其详细内容将在后续实施例中得以阐述。
本申请提供一种显示面板的制作方法及显示面板、以及包括该显示面板的显示装置。请参阅图1,图1是显示面板应用于显示装置的结构示意图。显示面板10位于显示装置20内,显示装置20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。
首先,本申请提供一种显示面板的制作方法,如图2所示,一种实施方式中的显示面板的制作方法具体包括以下步骤:
T10、提供第一基板和第二基板。
参阅图3a和图3b,第一基板110包括依次层叠设置的生长基板111、外延结构112以及第一金属层113,第二基板120包括电路基板121与层叠在电路基板121上的第二金属层122,外延结构112刻蚀后形成发光二极管。
T20、对第一金属层进行活化处理且对第二金属层进行活化处理。
T30、键合活化处理后的第一金属层和活化处理后的第二金属层。
请参阅图3c,键合第一金属层113和第二金属层122后使得生长基板111、外延结构112、第一金属层113、第二金属层122以及电路基板121依次层叠设置。
T40、剥离生长基板。
请参阅图3d,剥离生长基板111之后,外延结构112就转移到了电路基板121上。
本申请通过提供第一金属层113和第二金属层122,并对第一金属层113和第二金属层122进行表面活化处理,活化后的第一金属层113和第二金属层122在室温下相互接触时会发生原子扩散现象,使得第一金属层113和第二金属层122相互粘接实现键合,以将外延结构112转移至电路基板121。本申请的键合 工艺是在室温下进行的,避免了目前在高温键合制程中,因电路基板121和生长基板111的热膨胀系数差异大出现热失配导致的分层问题,有利于显示面板10显示性能的提高。
具体而言,参阅图3a和图3b,第一金属层113包括背向生长基板111的第一表面1131,第二金属层122包括背向电路基板121的第二表面1221;对第一金属层113进行活化处理包括对第一表面1131进行活化处理;对第二金属层122进行活化处理包括对第二表面1221进行活化处理;键合活化处理后的第一金属层113与活化处理后的第二金属层122包括对所述第一表面1131和所述第二表面1221进行键合。表面活化处理的方法可以包括离子束活化,表面活化处理的过程中,第一表面1131和第二表面1221首先受到活化作用,第一表面1131和第二表面1221的金属原子被激活,第一表面1131和第二表面1221相互接触时,被激活的金属原子进行扩散实现键合粘接。
参阅图4a和图4b,本申请的第一金属层113和第二金属层122为结构相同的三层金属结构,第一金属层113包括依次层叠设置的第一金属子层1132、第二金属子层1133以及第三金属子层1134,其中,第一金属子层1132层叠在外延结构112上;第二金属层122包括依次层叠设置的第四金属子层1222、第五金属子层1223以及第六金属子层1224,其中,第六金属子层1224层叠在电路基板121上。
一种可能的实施方式中,第一金属子层1132、第二金属子层1133以及第三金属子层1134可以通过电子束蒸发技术依次沉积到外延结构112上,第四金属子层1222、第五金属子层1223以及第六金属子层1224可以通过电子束蒸发技术依次沉积到电路基板121上。
第一金属层113的第一金属子层1132和第三金属子层1134及第二金属层122的第四金属子层1222和第六金属子层1224可以为钛。第一金属子层1132和第六金属子层1224为钛,由于钛具有一定的粘接作用,第二金属子层1133直接沉积在外延结构112或第五金属子层1223直接沉积在电路基板121时结合效果不理想,通过在电路基板121和外延结构112上设置一层钛金属(即第一金属子层1132和第六金属子层1224为钛金属),可以起到粘接第二金属子层1133和外延结构112及第五金属子层1223和电路基板121的作用,增加层间结合强度。第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222为钛金属,一方面,钛金属会对第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223起到保护作用,避免第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223直接暴露在环境时表面形成或者粘附有机膜层或者其他杂质,有机膜层会导致第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223的表面的活化不易处理,另一方面,活化处理的过程中可以保留一部分第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222的钛金属,这样第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223及残留的第三金属子层1134和残留的第四金属子层1222的双重键合作用增加了键合强度。
第一金属层113的第二金属子层1133及第二金属层122的第五金属子层1223可以为铂、金、铜、铝中的一种且为同种金属。铂、金、铜、铝等金属易于活化,活化后的铂原子、金原子、铜原子或者铝原子容易发生原子扩散实现键合连接。
本申请的第一金属层113和第二金属层122键合连接的过程中有两种不同的键合方案,具体包括:
第一种方案,在对第一金属层113与第二金属层122进行表面活化处理的过程中,第三金属子层1134与第四金属子层1222完全刻蚀掉,第二金属子层1133与第五金属子层1223键合连接。
在对第一金属层113和第二金属层122进行表面活化处理的过程中,表层的第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222可以完全被刻蚀掉,相对于部分刻蚀,完全刻蚀对工艺的要求较小,例如,通过表面活化处理时间控制刻蚀程度时,部分刻蚀由于要保证残留在波谷的第三金属子层1134不会高于波峰以保证第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223可以相互接触,所以部分刻蚀对活化工艺条件(比如时间)的控制较为严格,增加了操作难度,而完全刻蚀可以选择较长的活化刻蚀时间,不用考第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222的残留状态,工艺灵活性较大,利于操作。
第二种方案,参阅图4a、图4b、图4c和图5,在对第一金属层113与第二金属层122进行表面活化处理的过程中,第三金属子层1134部分刻蚀掉,以露出第二金属子层1133,第四金属子层1222部分刻蚀掉,以露出第五金属子层1223,残留的第三金属子层1134与残留的第四金属子层1222键合连接,露出第二金属子层1133与露出的第五金属子层1223键合连接。
在对第一金属层113和第二金属层122进行表面活化处理的过程中,表层的第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222会被刻蚀掉,通过对表面活化工艺的控制,可以使得第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222不完全被刻蚀(即第一金属层113上保留一部分第三金属子层1134,第二金属层122上保留一部分第四金属子层1222),通过对第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223表面粗糙度的控制,使得第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223具有较大的粗糙度,这样第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223的表面具有波峰和波谷,活化的过程中可以保留第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223表面上的部分第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222,键合的过程中,第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223表面上的部分残留的第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222相互键合且相对应的第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223相互键合,由于第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223及残留的第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222的双重键合作用增加了键合强度。
可以理解的,参阅图4a、图4b、图4c和图5,部分刻蚀的过程中,第二金属子层1133朝向第三金属子层1134的表面包括第一波峰1141和第一波谷1142, 第五金属子层1223朝向第四金属子层1222的表面包括第二波峰1143和第二波谷1144,在对第一金属层113与第二金属层122活化处理的过程中,第三金属子层1134部分刻蚀掉,以露出第二金属子层1133的第一波峰1141和部分第一波谷1142且其余第一波谷1142内残留部分第三金属子层1134,第四金属子层1222部分刻蚀掉,以露出第五金属子层1223的第二波峰1143和部分第二波谷1144且其余第二波谷内1144残留部分第四金属子层1222,露出的第一波峰1141和露出的部分第一波谷1142与露出的第二波峰1143和露出的部分第二波谷1144键合连接,第一波谷1141内残留的第三金属子层1134与第二波谷1144内残留的第四金属子层1222键合连接。
第二金属子层1133及第五金属子层1223的粗糙度对键合工艺是至关重要的,第二金属子层1133及第五金属子层1223的粗糙度均为1nm-10nm。第二金属子层1133及第五金属子层1223的粗糙度会影响键合制程,第二金属子层1133及第五金属子层1223的粗糙度大于10nm,粗糙度过大,第二金属子层1133及第五金属子层1223的表面起伏较大,第二金属子层1133及第五金属子层1223相互对接键合时接触的面积较小,影响键合强度,第二金属子层1133及第五金属子层1223的粗糙度较大时,可以采用精抛的方式降低粗糙度;第二金属子层1133及第五金属子层1223的粗糙度小于1nm,不利于其他材料的附着。
本申请的第一金属层113和第二金属层122为多层金属结构,第一金属层113和第二金属层122的厚度可以做到纳米尺寸,具体而言:
在垂直于显示面板所在平面的方向上,第一金属子层1132和第六金属子层1224的厚度均为20nm-100nm。第一金属子层1132和第六金属子层1224的厚度小于20nm,粘接作用较弱;第一金属子层和1132第六金属子层1224的厚度大于100nm,欧姆接触电阻高且增加了显示面板的厚度,且不利于显示面板的轻薄化。
在垂直于显示面板所在平面的方向上,第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223的厚度均为50nm-150nm。第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223的厚度小于50nm时,由于第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223的铂金属的电导率较低,第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223太薄时导致第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223的电阻大、热效应明显;第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223的厚度大于150nm时,由于厚度过厚,不利于刻蚀。
在垂直于显示面板所在平面的方向上,未刻蚀前的第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222的厚度均为10nm-50nm。第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222的厚度小于10nm时,厚度过薄,第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222分布不均匀,可能存在第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223部分区域没有沉积上第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222的情况,不能实现对第二金属子层1133和第五金属子层1223的完全保护;第三金属子层1134和第四金属子层1222 的厚度大于50nm时,厚度过厚,影响对第二金属层的活化效果。
生长基板111可以为蓝宝石基板,蓝宝石基板可以采用激光剥离技术去除,去除工艺简单,去除干净,不易存在残留。其他实施方式中,生长基板111也可以为氮化镓基板或硅基板或碳化硅基板等,可以采用化学刻蚀法进行生长基板的剥离。生长基板111剥离之后外延结构112就转移到了电路基板121上。
剥离生长基板111之后,参阅图6,制作显示面板10的步骤还包括:
S110、对外延结构进行刻蚀处理。
参阅图7a和图7b,在外延结构112的N型外延层1123侧通过胶体晶体或者光刻胶作为掩膜,对外延结构112进行定向刻蚀。
S120、对键合后的第一金属层与第二金属层进行刻蚀处理。
参阅图7c,对外延结构112进行刻蚀后继续对键合后的第一金属层113与第二金属层122进行刻蚀处理以形成独立的子像素(即磊晶结构130)。换言之,对相邻的独立子像素之间的外延结构112和键合后的第一金属层113与第二金属层122进行刻蚀处理。外延结构112通过键合后的第一金属层113与第二金属层122与第一电极118电连接。
一般而言,外延结构112的总厚度在4.6um-5um,此外,由于采用低温,键合后的第一金属层113与第二金属层122的厚度较薄,采用感应耦合等离子体刻蚀相对简单,这就避免传统技术路线中刻蚀厚度为2um的金层而出现等离子气体对N型外延层1123的过刻蚀效应,从而不影响显示面板的性能。
S130、在经过刻蚀处理的外表面沉积钝化层。
参阅图7d,钝化层116可以为二氧化硅,沉积的方式可以为化学气相沉积等。
S140、对钝化层进行局部刻蚀处理。
参阅图7e,通过感应耦合等离子体刻蚀对钝化层116进行局部刻蚀处理,以将电路上的阴极电极区(图7e未示)及部分N型外延层1123露出。
S150、在钝化层上沉积氧化铟锡(Indium Tin Oxide,ITO)导电层,并对ITO导电层进行高温退火处理。
参阅图7f,可以采用化学气相沉积的方式沉积ITO导电层,通过共阴极设计,使ITO形成透明导电网络,将所有子像素的N型外延层1123相连,并与电路的阴极电极相连接。
对ITO进行高温退火的过程中(此时,生长基板已经被剥离,不存在高温时因生长基板和电路基板热膨胀系数差异大造成的分层问题),键合后的第一金属层113与第二金属层122也处于高温环境中,可以对室温键合的第一金属层113与第二金属层122进行进一步的键合加固,增强键合强度。
其次,基于同样的发明构思,本申请提供一种显示面板,显示面板的具体结构如下:
如图7c所示,图7c为刻蚀之后的显示面板的结构示意图。显示面板10包 括多个磊晶结构130(磊晶结构130即为刻蚀后的外延结构112和第一金属层113)和第二基板120,磊晶结构130阵列排布于第二基板120上,每个磊晶结构130包括依次层叠设置的外延结构112以及第一金属层113,第二基板120包括电路基板121(电路基板121可以为玻璃基板或者硅基板等)与层叠在电路基板121上的第二金属层122,第一金属层113与第二金属层122键合连接,其中,第一金属层113经过活化处理且第二金属层122经过活化处理。
电路基板121包括多个凹槽1211,每个凹槽1211的底部设置有第一电极118,第二金属层122层叠在多个电路基板121上且填充凹槽1211与第一电极118接触,第一金属层113和第二金属层122键合后形成导电体119,外延结构112通过导电体119与第一电极118电连接。外延结构112背离第一金属层113的一侧设有第二电极(即ITO导电层117),外延结构112与第二电极电连接。
具体而言,参阅图7f,外延结构112包括依次层叠设置的P型外延层1121、多量子阱层1122和N型外延层1123,P型外延,1121位于第一金属层113上,P型外延层1121的空穴与N型外延层1123的电子在多量子阱层1122(即发光层)复合,复合之后产生光子并发光。N型外延层1123与第二电极(即ITO导电层117)电连接,P型外延层1121通过键合后的第一金属层113和第二金属层122(即导电体119)实现与第一电极118的电连接,实现电路的导通,避免了需要设置其它导电结构以将外延结构112和第一电极118电连接的操作,简化了工艺,降低了成本。
具体地,P型外延层1121可以为P-GaN,N型外延层1123可以为N-GaN,第一电极为正极,第一电极可以为铝电极。
本申请设置第一金属层113和第二金属层122在室温下键合,具体而言,第一金属层113和第二金属层122在室温下相互接触时会发生原子扩散现象,使得第一金属层113和第二金属层122相互粘接实现键合,以将外延结构112转移至电路基板121。本申请的键合工艺是在室温下进行的,避免了目前在高温键合制程中,因电路基板和生长基板的热膨胀系数差异大出现热失配导致的分层问题,有利于显示面板10显示性能的提高。本申请在转移外延结构112后,对外延结构112进行刻蚀,这样不需要现有技术中进行对位的工艺,降低了现有技术中外延结构转移的对位精度的问题。
应当理解的是,本发明的应用不限于上述的举例,对本领域普通技术人员来说,可以根据上述说明加以改进或变换,所有这些改进和变换都应属于本发明所附权利要求的保护范围。
