有机发光二极管(Organic Light Emitting Diode,OLED)显示技术因具有可视角度大,亮度高,响应快,功耗低、可弯曲等特性近年来迅速崛起,被认为是最具潜力的显示技术。随着社会发展与技术的进步,人们对电子产品的屏占比要求越来越高,全面屏更是大势所趋。然而,要实现真正全面屏,屏幕四角区需要做成局部可拉伸结构以应对后续模组的贴合工艺。OLED柔性基板的深孔设计可实现局部拉伸功能,是实现全面屏技术的重要方向之一。
OLED柔性基板开深孔设计中,OLED器件的共有层在蒸镀至深孔后容易从外界吸水导致发光材料失效,从而造成局部显示失效。一些技术中,在深孔周边设置隔离结构,以隔断OLED器件的共有层,从而达到阻断水氧入侵通道目的,在实现局部拉伸功能的同时保证了封装效果,但是,该方案需要引入新的隔离结构制备工艺及相应的掩膜版(Mask),且隔离结构还会占据空间,降低像素密度,影响显示效果。

本公开实施例提供一种显示基板,所述显示基板包括可拉伸区域。在一些示例性实施例中,如图2a所示,图2a示出了可拉伸区域的部分区域的结构,可看作是可拉伸区域的重复单元。所述可拉伸区域包括彼此隔开的多个像素岛区100、多个孔区300,以及位于所述像素岛区100与所述孔区300之间的连接桥区200;每个像素岛区100的周围可以围绕多个孔区300,连接桥区200位于相邻的孔区300之间,连接桥区200与相邻的像素岛区100连接,多个像素岛区100的发光器件通过连接桥区200的连接线进行信号连通。每个孔区300设有一个或多个开孔,所述开孔贯穿或不贯穿显示基板的基底。显示基板的基底可以为柔性基底,使显示基板的可拉伸区域能够拉伸,像素岛区100设置为显示图像,孔区300设置为在拉伸时提供变形空间,连接桥区200设置为走线(使相邻像素岛区100之间信号连通)和传递拉力。每个像素岛区100可以包括多个像素单元,每个像素单元包括多个发不同颜色光 的子像素,比如每个像素单元包括三个子像素,为第一子像素110、第二子像素120和第三子像素130,第一子像素110、第二子像素120和第三子像素130可以配置为分别发红色光、绿色光和蓝色光。通过调节每个像素单元的多个子像素的发光亮度,可使得相应像素单元基本能够显示所需的任意颜色。像素岛区100的每个子像素包括一个发光器件,每个发光器件可为OLED器件,包括叠设的阳极、有机发光层和阴极,有机发光层在阳极和阴极之间的电压下发光。可拉伸区域在外力作用下拉伸时,形变主要发生在连接桥区200,像素岛区100的发光器件基本保持形状,不会受到破坏。
在一些示例性实施例中,在平行于显示基板的平面,每个像素岛区的形状可以是矩形、圆形等。孔区的形状可以是矩形、弧形、T形、L形、“工”字型等。在一些示例中,如图2a所示,孔区300的形状为矩形,每个孔区300可看作是一个开孔(即后文中的开孔301),开孔形状为矩形,在平行于显示基板的平面,矩形开孔的宽度可以为5微米至20微米,长度可以为50微米至800微米,例如400微米。在另一些示例中,如图2b所示,图2b示出了可拉伸区域的部分区域的另一种结构,可看作是可拉伸区域的重复单元。图2b中,孔区300的形状为弧形,每个孔区300可看作是一个开孔,开孔形状为弧形,在平行于显示基板的平面,弧形开孔的直径可以为50微米至500微米,例如200微米。
在一些示例性实施例中,如图2c所示,图2c为图2a中A-A位置的剖面图,本公开实施例的显示基板包括可拉伸区域,所述可拉伸区域包括彼此隔开的多个像素岛区100、多个孔区300,以及位于所述像素岛区100与所述孔区300之间的连接桥区200;所述孔区300设有一个或多个开孔301,所述孔区300包括叠设在基底10上的复合结构层,所述开孔301贯穿所述复合结构层且所述开孔301的一部分设于所述基底10内,所述开孔301贯穿或不贯穿所述基底10,所述开孔301的孔壁上设有隔断槽(在一些示例中,隔断槽包括第一隔断槽302A、第二隔断槽302B和第三隔断槽302C);所述孔区300还包括设于所述复合结构层上、并设置在所述开孔301的孔壁上的功能膜层,所述功能膜层在所述隔断槽处被隔断。
本公开实施例的显示基板,将隔断槽设置在孔区300的开孔301的孔壁 上,功能膜层在开孔301的孔壁上的隔断槽处断开,即位于隔断槽的靠近基底10背面(即基底10的背离显示侧的表面)一侧的功能膜层(该部分功能膜层称为第一部分),与位于隔断槽的远离基底10背面一侧的功能膜层(该部分功能膜层称为第二部分)不再连接,第二部分包括位于像素岛区100的功能膜层,这样,功能膜层被隔断槽隔断后,第一部分的水氧不会侵入到第二部分,从而隔断槽可以阻断外界水氧沿功能膜层进入显示基板内部的路径,保证封装效果。此外,由于隔断槽是设置在开孔301的孔壁上,因而可以保证可拉伸区域的拉伸功能,而且隔断槽不会占据开孔301外的额外空间,不会降低像素密度,并且在隔断槽的形成过程中,不需要掩膜版,能有效降低生产成本,提高生产效率。
在一些示例性实施例中,所述可拉伸区域可以位于所述显示基板的靠近边缘的区域,或者可以位于显示基板的中间区域。本实施例的一个示例中,所述显示基板为矩形,矩形显示基板的四个角位置或者靠近四个侧边的位置均可以设置所述可拉伸区域,由此,可以实现显示基板的相应局部区域的可拉伸功能。

(9)在第一柔性层10A上形成凹槽380A和第三隔断槽302C,如图10a所示,示例性地,凹槽380A在基底10上的正投影包含第七过孔370在基底10上的正投影。凹槽380A的槽口在基底10上的正投影可以与第七过孔370在基底10上的正投影重叠,或者,凹槽380A的槽口在基底10上的正投影包含第七过孔370在基底10上的正投影。
在平行于基底10的方向上,凹槽380A相较于第七过孔370的孔壁内扩的部分形成第三隔断槽302C。第三隔断槽302C的内表面可以由第一柔性层10A形成,或者第三隔断槽302C的内表面由第一柔性层10A和第一阻挡层10B的朝向第三隔断槽302C内部的部分共同形成。本示例中,由于凹槽380A不贯穿第一柔性层10A,因此,孔区300最终形成的开孔301不贯穿基底10。
在另一些示例中,在第一柔性层10A上形成第八过孔380B和第三隔断槽302C,如图10b所示,第八过孔380B贯穿第一柔性层10A。本示例中,形成第八过孔380B和第三隔断槽302C的方法,可以与在第三柔性层10E 上形成第四过孔340A(或者第四过孔340B)和第一隔断槽302A的方法相同,第三隔断槽302C的结构与第一隔断槽302A的结构可以相同。
在一些示例中,至此,在孔区300形成开孔301和隔断槽。其中,第一过孔310、第二过孔320、第三过孔330、第四过孔340A(或第四过孔340B)、第五过孔350、第六过孔360、第七过孔370和凹槽380A(或第八过孔380B)形成所述开孔301,开孔301贯穿基底10或不贯穿基底10。前文示例中,在开孔301的孔壁上沿垂直于基底10的方向设置有三个隔断槽,为第一隔断槽302A、第二隔断槽302B和第三隔断槽302C,三个隔断槽的结构可以相同。三个隔断槽分别设置在柔性基底10的第三柔性层10E、第二柔性层10C和第一柔性层10A,每个柔性层设置一个隔断槽。开孔301的孔壁上设置的隔断槽的数目可以等于或者小于柔性基底10的柔性层的数目。在其他示例中,柔性基底10的柔性层的数目可以是一个、两个,或者三个以上。在垂直于基底10的方向上,第一隔断槽302A、第二隔断槽302B和第三隔断槽302C的截面形状可以为矩形、梯形、半椭圆形,或者为不规则形状。
(10)在形成前述图案的柔性基底10上依次形成有机功能层22和阴极23,如图11a所示。
在一些示例性实施例中,有机功能层22和阴极23均可以采用蒸镀工艺形成在像素岛区100、连接桥区200和孔区300。像素岛区100和连接桥区200的有机功能层22覆盖在像素界定层21上,且像素岛区100的有机功能层22与像素界定层21的像素开口所暴露出的阳极20连接。孔区300的有机功能层22覆盖在开孔301的孔壁上,以及隔断槽(例如包括第一隔断槽302A、第二隔断槽302B和第三隔断槽302C)内。阴极23形成在有机功能层22上,像素岛区100的阳极20、有机功能层22和阴极23形成发光器件。阴极23的材料可以采用镁(Mg)、银(Ag)、铝(Al)、铜(Cu)和锂(Li)中的任意一种或更多种,或采用上述金属中任意一种或多种制成的合金。
由于隔断槽的存在,蒸镀形成的有机功能层22在隔断槽处断开,隔断槽的内表面包括朝向开孔301的第一槽面3021、朝向基底10背侧的第二槽面3022,以及与所述第二槽面3022相对的第三槽面3023。一般地,有机功能层22会在第一槽面3021与第二槽面3022的相交处断开,有机功能层22在 第一槽面3021与第二槽面3022的相交处附近的厚度变薄,如图11b所示,图11b为图11a中A处的局部放大图,以第一隔断槽302A为例,剖面图中有机功能层22的断开位置为P1和P2所示的位置。有机功能层22还在第二隔断槽302B和第三隔断槽302C的相应位置断开。其中,隔断槽在平行于基底10的方向上的深度,以及在垂直于基底10的方向上的宽度可根据需要设计,只要保证有机功能层22能在隔断槽处断开即可。同理,阴极23形成在有机功能层22上,阴极23在隔断槽处断开的位置与有机功能层22在隔断槽处断开的位置相对应。由于有机功能层22和阴极23均在隔断槽处断开,因此阻断了水氧的入侵路径,水氧不会入侵到像素岛区100的有机功能层22和阴极23内,保证了封装效果。设置多个隔断槽结构,可以使有机功能层22和阴极23在多个隔断槽处均被隔断,即有机功能层22和阴极23在多个位置被隔断,增加多重隔断保障。此外,由于隔断槽是设置在开孔301的孔壁上,因而隔断槽不会占据开孔301外的额外空间,不会降低像素密度,并且在隔断槽的形成过程中,不需要掩膜版,节省成本。
(11)在形成前述图案的柔性基底10上形成封装结构层。封装结构层可以包括叠设的第一无机封装层24、有机封装层25和第二无机封装层26。第一无机封装层24覆盖阴极23,有机封装层25设置在像素岛区100,第二无机封装层26覆盖第一无机封装层24和有机封装层25。孔区300包括叠设的第一无机封装层24和第二无机封装层26,第一无机封装层24和第二无机封装层26覆盖在孔区300的阴极23上,将有机功能层22和阴极23封装,如图2c所示。第一无机封装层24、有机封装层25和第二无机封装层26可以采用化学气相沉积(CVD)或者溅镀等镀膜方式制作,封装结构层起到隔绝水氧的作用,能够有效防止空气与有机功能层22和阴极23接触。最后,将制备完成所有膜层的柔性基底10从载板1上剥离下来,得到显示基板。
