在对本公开实施例提供的显示基板及其制造方法、显示装置进行详细说明之前,有必要对于相关技术进行以下说明。
为了进一步提高屏占比,许多显示产品屏幕用了AA Hole设计,即,将开孔设置在屏幕内。图1所示OLED显示面板中从AA区到开孔区之间的隔离区结构示意图,图2具体为图1所示OLED显示面板以A-A为切割线的局部剖面图,切割线A-A表示从AA区到开孔区域之间的结构。如图1至图2所示,以OLED显示面板为例,以显示屏幕包括开孔区(Hole区)10、围绕开孔区10的隔离区20、及围绕隔离区20的显示区(AA区)30,在隔离区20内需要设置隔离边框结构,用于将AA区10和开孔区30之间的EL层40隔断,防止水汽和氧气沿EL层传输到AA区10,从而会导致显示面板的显示失效。该隔离边框结构主要包括:隔离柱21、隔离坝22及有机封装边框23,其中隔离柱21主要用来隔断开孔区30切割处水氧向AA区10侵蚀,保护显示区的有机发光材料(Electro-Luminescence,简称EL层)不受影响;隔离坝22用以防止形成有机封装边框23的喷墨印刷(Ink Jet Printing,简称为:IJP)材料溢出,以保证Dam外有机封装边框(TFE封装)23的有效性,从而保证产品信赖性。
申请人发现,在相关技术AA Hole设计中隔离区内的隔离柱是采用离子束掩模板(EB Mask),通过EB Mask将无机层刻蚀掉,来形成膜层断差,而形成隔离柱,这种方式,相较于传统的屏幕周边区域开孔设计来说,需要单独再设计EB Mask来刻蚀无机绝缘层(例如,层间介质层ILD)形成隔离柱,也就是说,在正常的显示基板制备过程中需要增加掩模板(EB Mask),这样势必导致成本增加,工艺繁琐。
为了解决上述技术问题,本公开实施例提供了一种显示基板及其制造方法、显示装置,能够减少掩模板数量,降低成本,简化工艺。
图3所示为本公开实施例中提供的显示基板的整体结构示意图;图4所示为图所示的显示基板中从AA区到开孔区之间的隔离区结构示意图,图4具体为图1所示的显示基板以A’-A’为切割线的局部剖面图,切割线A’-A’表示从AA区到开孔区之间的结构。
如图3和图4所示,本公开实施例提供的显示基板,包括衬底基板100,所述衬底基板100包括开孔区200、围绕所述开孔区200的隔离区300以及 围绕所述隔离区300的显示区400,所述隔离区300内设有至少一个隔离柱500,每个所述隔离柱500绕所述开孔区200一圈设置;在所述显示区400和所述隔离区300内设置有覆盖于所述隔离柱500上的发光层600,且所述隔离柱500将所述开孔区200与所述显示区400之间的所述发光层600隔断开;所述隔离柱500包括:依次堆叠于所述衬底基板100之上的多层所述金属图形500a,;及,绝缘膜层500b,所述绝缘膜层500b为随形覆盖于所述金属图形500a上的叠层。
本公开实施例提供的显示基板,所述隔离柱500的形成方式为:在所述衬底基板100上蒸镀所述发光层600之前,先形成所述隔离柱500的整体结构,这样,在蒸镀发光层600时即可利用形成的隔离柱500结构来将开孔区200和显示区400之间的发光层600隔断开。其中,所述隔离柱500由多层金属图形500a堆叠形成,每层金属图形500a为围绕所述开孔区200一圈的图形,这样,多层金属图形500a的侧壁即可形成膜层断差,用于阻断发光层600,而所述绝缘膜层500b可设置于相邻金属图形500a之间,且所述绝缘膜层500b随形覆盖于所述金属图形500a上,而最终形成所述隔离柱500。其中所述绝缘膜层500b包括多层绝缘层,每层绝缘层均为连续膜层,也就是说,所述绝缘膜层500b在所述金属台阶的侧壁处是随形覆盖于金属台阶上,而并非被刻蚀断开。
此外,本公开实施例提供的显示基板中,在所述显示区400内可设置薄膜晶体管以及电极层等金属膜层,这样,可以直接利用显示基板制造工艺中形成显示区400内的金属层时,采用同一掩模板,来直接形成隔离柱500内对应的金属图形500a,从而取代相关技术中采用离子束掩模板(EB Mask)刻蚀无机层形成开孔区200的隔离柱500台阶,从而达到减少掩模板数量的目的,简化工艺,降低成本。
以下对本公开实施例提供的显示基板进行更为详细的说明。

如图4所示,所述显示基板中,在所述衬底基板100上还设有无机层110, 无机层110包括在远离衬底基板100方向上依次层叠设置的阻挡层(Barrier)和缓冲层(Buffer),衬底基板100可为聚酰亚胺(PI)等构成的柔性基板或玻璃基板。此外,显示基板中还包括一些常规结构,例如:薄膜晶体管(TFT)、平坦层(PLN)、像素定义层(PDL)、发光层600(EL层)、第一无机封装层、有机层以及第二无机封装层,第一无机封装层和第二无机封装层中任一种材料可以为SiNx、SiCN、SiO2等。第一无机封装层和第二无机封装层可采用化学气相沉积、物理气相沉积、原子力沉积等方式形成。有机层可包括丙烯酸基聚合物、硅基聚合物等。有机层可采用喷墨打印、喷涂等方式形成于第一无机封装层背向衬底基板100的一侧。
在一些示例性的实施例中,如图4所示,所述显示区400设有薄膜晶体管(TFT),所述薄膜晶体管包括栅极、源极和漏极;多层所述金属图形500a包括:从靠近所述衬底基板100侧一侧向远离所述衬底基板100的一侧,依次堆叠的第一金属图形510、第二金属图形520和第三金属图形530;所述第一金属图形510、所述第二金属图形520和第三金属图形530中的至少一层金属图形,与所述栅极为同层且同材质,至少另一层金属图形与所述源极、漏极为同层且同材质。
所述隔离柱500的多层金属图形500a中,至少一层金属图形与显示区400的栅极同层且同材质,也就是,所述隔离柱500中至少一层金属图形是与所述显示区400内的栅金属图形采用同一掩模板,利用同一次构图工艺形成;至少还有一层金属图形500a是与所述显示区400内的源、漏金属图形采用同一掩模板,利用同一次构图工艺形成。这样,相较于相关技术中对无机层刻蚀形成隔离柱500的方式,可以减少掩模板数量,降低成本。
需要说明的是,在实际应用中,所述隔离柱500中的多层金属图形500a也可以是利用其他金属膜层来形成,例如,以OLED显示基板为例,至少一层金属图形还可以是利用显示区400的阴极层或阳极层等来形成。
此外,需要说明的是,以OLED显示基板为例,在显示区400内设有多个TFT,TFT可以为顶栅型TFT、底栅型TFT或双栅型TFT,本公开实施例中对TFT的类型不做限制。例如,薄膜晶体管包括设置在缓冲层背向衬底基 板100一侧的有源层,设置在有源层背向衬底基板100一侧的栅绝缘层(GI),设置在栅绝缘层背向衬底基板100一侧的栅极,设置在栅绝缘层背向衬底基板100一侧的层间介质层(ILD),设置在层间介质层背向衬底基板100一侧的导电层,导电层包括薄膜晶体管的源极和漏极,源极和漏极分别与有源层电连接。
在一些示例性的实施例中,如图4所示,所述显示区400包括层叠设置的第一栅金属图形(GI1)和第二栅金属图形(GI2),所述第一栅金属图形(GI1)和所述第二栅金属图形(GI2)中的至少一个为所述栅极;所述第一金属图形510与所述第一栅金属图形(GI1)同层且同材质设置;所述第二金属图形520与所述第二栅金属图形(GI2)同层且同材质设置;所述第三金属图形530与所述源极、漏极同层且同材质设置。
此外,在一些示例性的实施例中,如图4所示,所述绝缘膜层500b包括:位于所述第一金属图形510和所述第二金属图形520之间的第一绝缘层550和位于所述第二金属图形520和所述第三金属图形530之间的第二绝缘层540;其中所述第一绝缘层550和所述第二绝缘层540中的至少一个膜层包括栅极绝缘层,至少另一个膜层包括层间介质层和缓冲层。
需要说明的是,以上仅是一种示例,在其他实施例中,对于各层金属图形500a以及各层绝缘膜层500b不进行具体限定,只要是能够使得金属图形500a堆叠而形成膜层断差,绝缘膜层500b随形覆盖金属图形500a,最终形成隔离柱500结构,均应落入本公开提供的显示基板保护范围内。
此外,在本公开一些示例性的实施例中,如图所示,所述隔离柱500包括位于靠近所述显示区400的一侧的第一侧和位于靠近所述开孔区200的一侧的第二侧;所述隔离柱500中,自靠近所述衬底基板100的一侧向远离所述衬底基板100的一侧,各层所述金属图形500a在平行于所述衬底基板100的方向(图中X方向)上的径向宽度逐渐减小,也就是说,如图4所示,各层所述金属图形500a从下至上的第一金属图形510(Gate1)、第二金属图形520(Gate2)和第三金属图形530(SD)的径向宽度逐渐减小,以使所述第一侧和所述第二侧形成多个台阶结构。
采用上述方案,在形成隔离柱500内的每层金属图形500a之后,绝缘膜层500b会随形覆盖金属图形500a的台阶之上,具体的,在形成AA Hole处的隔离柱500时,在衬底基板100的阻挡层(Barrier)和缓冲层(Buffer)之上,首先做一层第一金属图形510,形成第一层台阶,之后在该第一金属图形510上随形覆盖一层第一绝缘层(例如,第一无机层GI1),这样,第一绝缘层会在第一金属图形510所形成的第一层台阶处具有台阶状过渡,之后,继续在第一金属图形510的台阶上再形成第二金属图形520,第一金属图形510的台阶径向宽度大于第二金属图形520的台阶径向宽度,从而形成第二层台阶,然后,再在第二金属图形520上随形覆盖第二绝缘层(例如,层间绝缘层和缓冲层),这样,第二绝缘层会在第一金属图形510所形成的第一层台阶处以及分别第二金属图形520所形成的第二层台阶处分别具有一个台阶状过渡,也就是说,第二绝缘层上会存在两个台阶状过渡,依次类推,逐渐形成其他层金属图形500a及其他绝缘层,使得隔离柱500的所述第一侧和所述第二侧形成多个台阶结构。这样设计的目的是,若隔离柱500中各层金属图形500a的径向宽度相同,那么,各层金属图形500a会使得隔离柱500的第一侧和第二侧产生较大的膜层断差,对于绝缘层来说,则可能会出现破裂损害等风险,而丧失阻隔水氧进入AA区的功能。
在一些示例性的实施例中,如图4所示,在所述第一侧,相邻两个所述金属图形500a在平行于所述衬底基板100方向上的金属台阶径向宽度差值D1大于或等于1微米;在所述第二侧,相邻两个所述金属图形500a在平行于所述衬底基板100方向上的金属台阶径向宽度差值D2大于或等于1微米。
采用上述方案,在隔离柱500的第一侧(即,图中左侧),所述第一金属图形510的台阶与第二金属图形520的台阶之间的距离,即相邻两个所述金属图形500a在平行于所述衬底基板100方向上的金属台阶径向宽度差值D1的数值为大于或等于1微米,同样的,第二金属图形520的台阶和第三金属图形530的台阶之间的距离D2的数值大于或等于1微米,该数值通过实际工艺验证,若小于1微米,则可能出现隔离柱500破裂损害等风险,这样的设计还能够使得隔离柱500结构与相关技术中使用EB Mask刻蚀无机层得到 的隔离柱500结构保持大致相同的隔离柱500结构设计。同样的,在隔离柱500的第二侧,相邻两个所述金属图形500a在平行于所述衬底基板100方向上的金属台阶径向宽度差值大于或等于1微米。
此外,需要说明的是,如图4所示,在一些示例性的实施例中,每层金属图形500a在垂直于所述衬底基板100的方向上的横截面形状为梯形,在其他实施例中,每层金属图形500a的横截面形状也可以是矩形等其他形状,对此不限定。
所述绝缘膜层随形覆盖在所述金属图形上,可以形成的坡度角范围为30~60度,这样,有利于EL发光层断裂,同时又可以保证封装层(TFE)700不断裂,有利于封装。
此外,还需要说明的是,上述实施例中,所述隔离柱500中,自靠近所述衬底基板100的一侧向远离所述衬底基板100的一侧,各层所述金属图形500a在平行于所述衬底基板100方向上的径向宽度逐渐减小,但是在另一些实施例中,各层金属图形500a的径向宽度之间的关系并不局限于此,在此不再赘述。
此外,在一些示例性的实施例中,如图3和图4所示,在所述隔离区300设置有至少两个所述隔离柱500,至少两个隔离柱500包括内隔离柱501和外隔离柱502,所述内隔离柱501位于所述外隔离柱502的靠近所述显示区400的一侧,且所述内隔离柱501和所述外隔离柱502之间设有隔离坝503,所述隔离坝503与所述显示区400之间设有覆盖所述内隔离柱501的有机封装边框504。
在上述实施例中,所述隔离柱500可设置有两个或两个以上,且多个隔离柱500间隔分布,相邻两个隔离柱500之间形成凹陷部,以使发光层600断开,隔离柱500的数量的增加,能够增加对截断水氧入侵通道的有效性。需要说明的是,隔离柱500数量的增加,可能会增加显示面板的制造工艺难度,增加生产成本,因此,在实际应用中,可根据实际需求来选择隔离柱500的具体数量,对于隔离柱500的具体数量不限定。
此外,当所述隔离柱500的数量为两个以上时,相邻两个隔离柱500之 间在平行于所述衬底基板100的方向上的间距取值范围为80~130μm,其中相邻两个隔离柱500之间在平行于所述衬底基板100的方向上的间距,具体是指,相邻两个隔离柱500中第三金属图形530的最近距离。
例如,在一些实施例中,所述隔离柱仅设置有两个(如图4所示),其中一个隔离柱为内隔离柱501,另一个隔离柱为外隔离柱502,在内隔离柱501和外隔离柱502之间设置所述隔离坝503,所述隔离坝503与显示区400之间形成有机封装边框504,图4所示实施例中内隔离柱和外隔离柱之间在平行于所述衬底基板100的方向(图4中X方向)的间距优选为127±0.5μm;在本公开一些具体实施例中,衬底基板100上间隔设有两个隔离柱500,靠近显示区400一侧的隔离柱500为内隔离柱501,靠近开孔区200一侧的隔离柱500为外隔离柱502,通过设置两个隔离柱500,既能提高隔离柱500截断水氧入侵通道的有效性,又能避免隔离柱500数量过多导致生产成本过大。在另一些实施例中,所述隔离区仅设置有一个隔离柱,在该隔离柱与所述开孔区之间设置隔离坝,所述隔离坝与所述显示区之间形成有机封装边框;
在另一些实施例中,所述隔离区设置的隔离柱数量为两个以上,在每两个隔离柱之间可设置一个隔离坝,其中一个隔离坝与显示区之间形成有机封装边框,例如,最接近显示区的两个隔离柱之间设置的隔离坝与显示区之间形成有机封装边框;或者,最接近开孔区的两个隔离柱之间设置的隔离坝与显示区之间形成有机封装边框;或者,中间的两个隔离柱之间所设置的隔离坝与显示区之间形成有机封装边框;相邻两个隔离柱500之间在平行于所述衬底基板100的方向上的间距取值范围为80~130μm;
在另一些实施例中,所述隔离区设置的隔离柱数量为两个以上,仅在距离显示区最远的两个隔离柱之间设置一个隔离坝,隔离坝与显示区之间形成有机封装边框;或者,仅在距离开孔区最远的两个隔离柱之间设置一个隔离坝,隔离坝与显示区之间形成有机封装边框;或者,仅在中间的两个隔离柱之间设置一个隔离坝,隔离坝与显示区之间形成有机封装边框;相邻两个隔离柱500之间在平行于所述衬底基板100的方向上的间距取值范围为80~130μm。
此外,在上述实施例中,在隔离区300内,在相邻两个隔离柱500之间的间距内设有隔离坝503(Dam),内隔离柱501和外隔离柱502主要用来隔断开孔区200切割处水氧向AA区侵蚀,保护显示区400的有机发光材料(Electro-Luminescence,简称EL层)发光材料不受影响;所述隔离坝503与所述显示区400之间设有覆盖所述内隔离柱501的有机封装边框504,该有机封装边框504可以为采用喷墨印刷材料形成的封装结构,所述隔离坝503用以防止喷墨印刷(IJP)材料溢出,以保证Dam外TFE封装有效性,从而保证产品信赖性。
此外,如图4所示,本公开实施例提供的显示基板中,在所述隔离区,还设置有切割热影响区(Margin)504,该切割热影响区504用于隔开所述隔离区上各膜层与开孔区,以避免开孔区激光切割时对隔离区膜层影响。所述隔离柱的数量为多个,并延伸至所述热影响区附近,或者延伸进所述热影响区。
