另外,“基于”的使用意味着开放和包容性,因为“基于”一个或多个所述条件或值的过程、步骤、计算或其他动作在实践中可以基于额外条件或超出所述的值。
本文参照作为理想化示例性附图的剖视图和/或平面图描述了示例性实施方式。在附图中,为了清楚,放大了层和区域的厚度。因此,可设想到由于例如制造技术和/或公差引起的相对于附图的形状的变动。因此,示例性实施方式不应解释为局限于本文示出的区域的形状,而是包括因例如制造而引起的形状偏差。例如,示为矩形的蚀刻区域通常将具有弯曲的特征。因此,附图中所示的区域本质上是示意性的,且它们的形状并非旨在示出设备的区域的实际形状,并且并非旨在限制示例性实施方式的范围。
参见图1~图3,本公开一些实施例提供了一种显示基板100,该显示基板100具有显示区Q 1和与显示区Q 1邻接的非显示区Q 2,其中,非显示区Q 2可以是仅位于显示区Q 1的一侧或多侧,或者还可以按照如图1示出的示例,非显示区Q 2围绕显示区Q 1设置一圈。
显示基板100包括:柔性衬底1、位于柔性衬底1第一侧的阴极层21、以及位于柔性衬底1与阴极层21之间的至少一层绝缘层4。
其中,柔性衬底1包括至少一个可拉伸区域A,可拉伸区域A从显示区Q 1延伸至非显示区Q 2。在一些示例中,可拉伸区域A的数量为四个,四个可拉伸区域A分别位于显示基板100的四个角位置处。在另一些示例中,可拉伸区域A的数量为一个,一个可拉伸区域A同时覆盖全部显示区Q 1和全部非显示区Q 2
可拉伸区域内A设置有阵列排布的多个开孔3。“阵列排布的多个开孔3”的具体排布方式有多种。例如,如图2所示,所述阵列排布的多个开孔3可以包括:沿第一方向X延伸的第一开孔31;和沿与第一方向X交叉的第二方向Y延伸的第二开孔32。其中,在第一方向X和第二方向Y上,第一开孔31与第二开孔32均交替排布。这样设置,有利于使柔性衬底1具有较好的可拉伸性能。
其中,第二方向Y与第一方向X交叉设置包括但不限于图2示出的第一 第二方向Y与第一方向X相互垂直的方式,也即,第二方向Y与第一方向X之间的夹角不局限于直角,该夹角也可以包括锐角。
在制作显示基板100过程中,多个开孔3可以直接制作在显示基板母板上,之后,进行切割即可得到单个显示基板100。在此基础上,参见图2,还可以对显示基板100的角部(即图2中的三角形虚线框位置)进行切割以形成圆角,这样便于将其应用在具有圆角的显示装置中。其中,示例性的,如图2所示,在被切割掉的角部上,也可以制作有开孔3。
在一些示例中,开孔3为贯穿柔性衬底1的通孔。在另一些示例中,开孔3为盲孔。可以理解,当开孔3为盲孔时,该开孔3仅在柔性衬底1的第一侧具有开口。而且,本公开不对盲孔的深度进行限制,也即,盲孔的深度可以根据所需要达到的可拉伸性能来决定,例如,盲孔越深,可拉伸幅度越大;反之,则可拉伸幅度越小。
在该显示基板100中,柔性衬底1的可拉伸区域A从显示区Q 1延伸至非显示区Q 2,并且柔性衬底1在可拉伸区域A内设置有阵列排布的多个开孔3,因此,柔性衬底1在至少部分显示区Q 1和至少部分非显示区Q 2内均可以被拉伸。这样设计,使得在将该显示基板100应用于显示装置中时,可以通过拉伸显示基板100来使显示装置实现曲面显示效果。
继续参见图1~图3,阴极层21从显示区Q 1延伸至非显示区Q 2,且阴极层21的边缘位于非显示区Q 2
所述至少一层绝缘层4被配置为暴露出多个开孔3,并且所述至少一层绝缘层4设置有至少一个隔断槽45,隔断槽45围绕开孔3设置(例如,隔断槽45可以围绕开孔3设置一圈;或者,隔断槽45也可以仅围绕开孔3设置半圈或三分之一圈等),隔断槽45被配置为隔断阴极层21。
其中,隔断槽45例如可以设置在所述至少一层绝缘层4被阴极层21覆盖的部分。“所述至少一层绝缘层4被阴极层21覆盖的部分”是指阴极层21的设计边界所覆盖到的至少部分所述至少一层绝缘层4。可以理解,在实际制作中,例如在通过蒸镀工艺制作阴极层21的时,阴极层21的实际蒸镀边界可能会与设计边界之间存在一定的偏差。所以,在实际产品中,所述至少一层绝缘层4中未被阴极层21覆盖到的部分也可能设置有隔断槽45。
这样设置,在封装显示基板后,可以阻止水汽由隔断槽45靠近开孔3的一侧通过阴极层21渗向隔断槽45远离开孔3的一侧,从而可以在设置开孔3的同时,改善水汽容易腐蚀阴极层21的问题,以降低外部水汽对显示基板100造成的影响。
综上所述,本公开一些实施例提供的显示基板100中,通过设置柔性衬底1的可拉伸区域A从显示区Q 1延伸至非显示区Q 2,并且柔性衬底1的可拉伸区域A内设置有阵列排布的多个开孔3,使得柔性衬底1在至少部分显示区Q 1和至少部分非显示区Q 2内均可以被拉伸。与此同时,由于在所述至少一层绝缘层4设置有至少一个隔断槽45,隔断槽45围绕开孔3设置,且隔断槽45被配置为隔断阴极层21,还可以阻止水汽由隔断槽45靠近开孔3的一侧通过阴极层21渗向隔断槽45远离开孔3的一侧,从而可以在设置开孔3实现可拉伸效果的同时,改善水汽容易腐蚀阴极层21,造成显示基板100的显示区发生显示不良的问题。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,显示基板100还包括:位于阴极层21与至少一层绝缘层4之间的发光功能层22(例如,电子传输层、电子注入层、有机发光层、空穴注入层和空穴传输层等),发光功能层22从显示区Q 1延伸至非显示区Q 2,发光功能层22的边缘位于阴极层21的边缘和显示区Q 1之间。其中,至少部分隔断槽同时隔断阴极层21和发光功能层22。
这样设置,在封装显示基板后,还可以阻止水汽由隔断槽45靠近开孔3的一侧通过发光功能层22渗向隔断槽45远离开孔3的一侧,从而可以在设置开孔3的同时,改善水汽容易腐蚀发光功能层22和阴极层21的问题,以降低外部水汽对显示基板100造成的影响。
在一些示例中,参见图3和图4,显示基板还包括阳极层,阳极层包括与多个子像素对应的多个阳极23。示例性的,在隔断槽45上方制作的阳极23可以附着在隔断槽45的内壁上。
在一些实施例中,参见图3和图4,沿开孔3的径向方向Z截断隔断槽45后得到的横截面大致呈倒T型。这样设计,有助于在制作发光功能层22和阴极层21时,使发光功能层22和阴极层21被隔断,也即,在隔断槽45处,可以使制作发光功能层22的材料和制作阴极层21的材料沉积在隔断槽45的底部,从而使发光功能层22和阴极层21均可以在隔断槽45处断开,进而有利于后续封装层实现良好封装。
其中,大致呈倒T型,可以是指呈所阐述的形状(即倒T型),或者也可以是指呈与所阐述的形状相类似的形状,例如边缘有曲度或边缘呈锯齿状的倒T型等。
在本公开的一些实施例中,如图3和图4所示,所述至少一层绝缘层4包括依次远离阴极层的第一无机绝缘层41和第一有机绝缘层42。隔断槽45穿过第一无机绝缘层41和至少部分第一有机绝缘层42。值得指出的是,在一 些示例中,通过对层叠设置的第一无机绝缘层41和第一有机绝缘层42直接进行刻蚀,即可得到上述横截面大致呈倒T型的隔断槽。此时,还具有工艺简单,制作方便的优点。
在一些实施例中,如图3和图4所示,显示基板100还包括:设置于柔性衬底1的第一侧、且位于非显示区Q 2的至少一条信号线5,信号线5上具有至少一个第一避让口51,第一避让口51被配置为暴露出开孔3。例如在图3和图4的示例中,每个第一避让口51可以暴露出一个开孔3。当然,在其它示例中,也可以设置第一避让口51暴露出两个或两个以上的开孔3,本公开不对此进行限制。
其中,第一避让口51的侧壁可以是如图5A示出的封闭环状(例如该第一避让口51的侧壁可以围绕开孔3设置一圈);或者,第一避让口51的侧壁也可以是如图5B示出的具有开口的部分环状(例如该第一避让口51的侧壁也可以围绕开孔3设置半圈、三分之一圈等)。
所述至少一层绝缘层4覆盖第一避让口51的侧壁;或者,所述至少一层绝缘层4覆盖第一避让口51的侧壁和信号线5远离柔性衬底1的表面中靠近第一避让口51的部分表面。
这样设置,可以利用所述至少一层绝缘层4对信号线5靠近开孔3的侧壁(也即第一避让口51的侧壁)进行保护,或者可以利用所述至少一层绝缘层4同时对信号线5靠近开孔3的侧壁(也即第一避让口51的侧壁)以及信号线5远离柔性衬底1的表面中靠近第一避让口51的部分表面进行保护。
值得指出的是,信号线5的材质通常可以包括Al(铝)等金属离子,通过设置所述至少一层绝缘层4,一方面可以阻挡水汽从开孔3渗入到信号线5,从而可以防止信号线5发生Al腐蚀等问题。另一方面,在后续进行刻蚀工艺期间,还可以防止信号线5中的Al离子与刻蚀液中的Ag(银)离子等发生置换反应。因此,通过设置所述至少一层绝缘层4可以有效的对信号线5进行保护。
示例性的,如图3和图4所示,信号线5包括依次远离柔性衬底1的第一金属层52和第二金属层53。这样设置,有利于减小信号线5上的电阻,提高信号传输效率。
在此基础上,所述至少一层绝缘层4可以包括依次靠近柔性衬底1的第一有机绝缘层42、第二有机绝缘层43。
其中,第二有机绝缘层43覆盖第一金属层52靠近开孔3的侧面和第一金属层52远离柔性衬底1的部分表面。
第二金属层53与第一金属层52电接触,且第二金属层53覆盖第二有机绝缘层43远离开孔3的侧面和第二有机绝缘层43远离柔性衬底1的部分表面。
第一有机绝缘层42覆盖第二金属层53靠近开孔3的侧面和第二金属层53远离柔性衬底1的部分表面。
这样设计,可以利用第一有机绝缘层41和第二有机绝缘层42对信号线2的第一金属层22和第二金属层23进行有效的保护。
在此基础上,示例性的,所述至少一层绝缘层4还可以包括第一无机绝缘层41和第二无机绝缘层44。
第二无机绝缘层44位于第二有机绝缘层43、第一金属层52、第二金属层53和柔性衬底1四者之间。
第一无机绝缘层41覆盖第一有机绝缘层42远离柔性衬底1的至少部分表面、第一有机绝缘层42靠近开孔3的侧面和第二有机绝缘层42靠近开孔3的侧面,并且第一无机绝缘层41连接至第二无机绝缘层44。
这样设计,由于设置有第一无机绝缘层41和第二无机绝缘层44,可以具有更好的阻隔能力,从而可以利用四个绝缘层(即第一无机绝缘层41、第一有机绝缘层42、第二有机绝缘层43和第二无机绝缘层44)对信号线5进行更有效的保护。
在制作该显示基板100的过程中,示例性的,可以在形成上述第一无机绝缘层41、第一有机绝缘层42、第二有机绝缘层43和第二无机绝缘层44之后,通过刻蚀工艺刻蚀出第一无机绝缘层41与第二无机绝缘层44相接触的位置,形成穿过第一无机绝缘层41和第二无机绝缘层44的开孔3(例如通孔或者盲孔)。
在本公开的一些实施例中,上述信号线5可以是位于非显示区Q 2的电压信号线50,该电压信号线50可以围绕显示区Q 1设置。
参见图3、图4、图6A和图6B,显示基板100还包括位于非显示区Q 2的阴极搭接层24,阴极搭接层24包括彼此相连的第一部分和第二部分,所述第一部分与所述阴极层21靠近所述柔性衬底1的表面电连接,所述第二部分与所述电压信号线20远离所述柔性衬底1的表面电连接。
所述阴极搭接层24上具有至少一个第二避让口241,所述第二避让口241被配置为暴露出所述开孔3。
其中,第二避让口241的侧壁可以是如图5A示出的封闭环状(例如该第二避让口241的侧壁可以围绕开孔3设置一圈);或者,第二避让口241的 侧壁也可以是如图5B示出的具有开口的部分环状(例如该第二避让口241的侧壁也可以围绕开孔3设置半圈、三分之一圈等)。
这样设计,使得位于非显示区Q 2的阴极搭接层24可以对开孔3进行避让,也即阴极搭接层24的设置并未对开孔3在非显示区Q 2的排布位置产生影响,从而使得柔性衬底1的可拉伸区域A在显示区Q 1和非显示区Q 2可以具有基本一致的拉伸性能。
示例性的,参见图3和图4,所述至少一层绝缘层4覆盖第二避让口241的侧壁。这样设置,可以利用所述至少一层绝缘层4对阴极搭接层24靠近开孔3的侧壁(也即第二避让口241的侧壁)进行保护,从而防止阴极搭接层24受到水氧侵蚀,并且可以防止阴极搭接层24中的金属离子与刻蚀液中的金属离子等发生置换反应。
又示例性的,所述至少一层绝缘层4覆盖所述第二避让口241的侧壁和所述阴极搭接层24远离所述柔性衬底1的表面中靠近所述第二避让口241的部分表面。这样设置,可以利用隔离柱4更好的保护阴极搭接层24,以防止阴极搭接层24受到水氧侵蚀,并防止阴极搭接层24中的金属离子与刻蚀液中的金属离子等发生置换反应。
其中,阴极搭接层24可以与上述阳极23同层同材料制作。这样有利于简化显示基板100的制作工艺。
在上述一些实施例的基础上,示例性的,参见图6A,显示基板100还包括:第一阻挡坝61、第二阻挡坝62和封装层25。
如图6A所示,第一阻挡坝61设置于柔性衬底1的第一侧,第一阻挡坝61位于非显示区Q 2且围绕显示区Q 1设置,第一阻挡坝61至少覆盖电压信号线50远离显示区Q 1的侧面和阴极搭接层24远离显示区Q 1的侧面。第一阻挡坝61上具有至少一个第三避让口610,第三避让口610被配置为暴露出开孔3。
其中,第三避让口610的侧壁可以是如图5A示出的封闭环状(例如该第三避让口610的侧壁可以围绕开孔3设置一圈);或者,第三避让口610的侧壁也可以是如图5B示出的具有开口的部分环状(例如该第三避让口610的侧壁也可以围绕开孔3设置半圈、三分之一圈等)。
此外,该第三避让口610被配置为不同时贯穿第一阻挡坝61靠近显示区Q 1的侧面与该第一阻挡坝61远离显示区Q 1的侧面,这样在制作显示基板100过程中,第一阻挡坝61可以阻挡其靠近显示区一侧的材料流向其远离显示区的一侧,从而使得显示基板100可以实现良好封装。
示例性的,如图6A所示,第一阻挡坝61还覆盖电压信号线50远离柔性衬底1的部分表面(也即电压信号线50远离柔性衬底1的全部表面中靠近第一阻挡坝61的部分表面)和阴极搭接层24远离柔性衬底1的部分表面(也即阴极搭接层24远离柔性衬底1的全部表面中靠近第一阻挡坝61的部分表面)。
继续参见图6A,在一些示例中,该第一阻挡坝61可以为三层结构,例如,沿远离柔性衬底1的方向,第一层可以与平坦层26同层同材料制成,第二层可以与像素定义层27同层同材料制成,第三层可以与填充层28同层同材料制成。
其中,平坦层26可以包括上述第一有机绝缘层和/或第二有机绝缘层。
像素定义层27从显示区Q 1延伸到非显示区Q 2,像素定义层27的边缘位于非显示区Q 2。像素定义层27具有用于限定多个子像素区域的开口。
在一些示例中,如图6A所示,阴极搭接层24上具有阵列分布的多个孔242,多个孔242中的至少一个孔242贯通阴极搭接层24。多个孔242中的至少部分孔242在柔性衬底1上的正投影位于平坦层26在柔性衬底1上的正投影的范围之内。这样可以在制作显示基板100的过程中,释放阴极搭接层24下方膜层(比如平坦层26)中产生的气体,提高了显示基板的可靠性。
上述填充层28可以用于填充于阴极搭接层24上的孔242。这样,可以使阴极搭接层24的上表面平整,便于在阴极搭接层24上制作其它膜层。
此处,需要说明的是,阴极层21与阴极搭接层24搭接时,实际电连接的区域是网格状的,中间填充有填充层材料是不导电的。
如图6A所示,第二阻挡坝62设置于柔性衬底1的第一侧,第二阻挡坝62位于非显示区Q 2且围绕显示区Q 1设置,第二阻挡坝62位于阴极搭接层24的第二部分远离柔性衬底1的表面上,第二阻挡坝62上具有至少一个第四避让口620,第四避让口620被配置为暴露出开孔3、第一避让口51和第二避让口241。
其中,第四避让口620的侧壁可以是如图5A示出的封闭环状(例如该第四避让口620的侧壁可以围绕开孔3设置一圈);或者,第四避让口620的侧壁也可以是如图5B示出的具有开口的部分环状(例如该第四避让口620的侧壁也可以围绕开孔3设置半圈、三分之一圈等)。
此外,该第四避让口620被配置为不同时贯穿第二阻挡坝62靠近显示区Q 1的侧面与该第二阻挡坝62远离显示区Q 1的侧面,这样在制作显示基板100过程中,第二阻挡坝62可以阻挡其靠近显示区Q 1一侧的材料流向其远离显 示区Q 1的一侧,从而使得显示基板100可以实现良好封装。
在一些示例中,该第二阻挡坝62可以为两层结构,例如,沿远离柔性衬底1的方向,第一层可以与像素定义层27同层同材料制成,第二层可以与填充层28同层同材料制成。
参见图6A和图6B,封装层25设置于柔性衬底1的第一侧,封装层25覆盖阴极层21、第一阻挡坝61和第二阻挡坝62,封装层55上具有至少一个第五避让口251,第五避让口251被配置为至少暴露出开孔3。
其中,第五避让口251的侧壁可以是如图5A示出的封闭环状(例如该第五避让口251的侧壁可以围绕开孔3设置一圈);或者,第五避让口251的侧壁也可以是如图5B示出的具有开口的部分环状(例如该第五避让口251的侧壁也可以围绕开孔3设置半圈、三分之一圈等)。
在本公开的一些实施例中,参见图3、图4、图6A和图6B,显示基板100还可以包括位于柔性衬底1第一侧表面上的缓冲层11。缓冲层11从显示区Q 1延伸到非显示区Q 2,并且缓冲层11的边缘位于第一阻挡坝61远离显示区Q 1的一侧。其中,缓冲层11上具有暴露出开孔3的开口。
需要说明的是,本公开为了清楚、简要的示意出显示基板的结构,在图3、图4、图6A和图6B中仅示出了显示基板的截面结构示意图,而非剖视图(也即未在图中示意除截面部分以外的连接关系),因此,可以理解的是,各个图中分离的至少两部分实质上是可以连接在一起的。
在此基础上,示例性的,如图6A所示,缓冲层11延伸到第一阻挡坝61远离显示区Q 1一侧的部分形成有至少一个槽110,槽110围绕第一阻挡坝61设置。这样在制作显示基板100的过程中,可以通过槽110阻挡外侧裂纹向内扩展影响到显示区Q 1,从而可以提高显示基板100的可靠性。
示例性的,如图6A所示,在槽110远离衬底的一侧还可以设置第三阻挡坝63。通过第三阻挡坝63可以达到更好的阻挡裂纹延伸的效果。
本公开一些实施例提供了一种显示装置200,如图7所示,该显示装置200包括如上述任一实施例所述的显示基板。
示例性地,显示装置200例如可以为手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
该显示装置200的技术效果,可参见上述任一实施例描述的显示基板的技术效果,此处不再赘述。
本公开一些实施例还提供了一种显示基板的制作方法,参见图1,显示基板100具有显示区Q 1和与显示区Q 1邻接的非显示区Q 2。参见图2、图3和 图8,所述制作方法包括:
S1、在柔性衬底1的第一侧形成至少一层绝缘层4(例如第一无机绝缘层41、第一有机绝缘层42、第二有机绝缘层43和第二无机绝缘层44)。
S2、在柔性衬底1的可拉伸区域A内形成阵列排布的多个开孔3,至少部分开孔3穿过至少一层绝缘层4;其中,可拉伸区域A从显示区Q 1延伸至非显示区Q 2
S3、在所述至少一层绝缘层4形成至少一个隔断槽45,隔断槽45围绕开孔3设置(例如,隔断槽45可以围绕开孔3设置一圈;或者,隔断槽45也可以仅围绕开孔3设置半圈或三分之一圈等)。
其中,隔断槽45例如可以设置在所述至少一层绝缘层4被阴极层21覆盖的部分。“所述至少一层绝缘层4被阴极层21覆盖的部分”是指阴极层21的设计边界所覆盖到的至少部分所述至少一层绝缘层4。可以理解,在实际制作中,例如在通过蒸镀工艺制作阴极层21的时,阴极层21的实际蒸镀边界可能会与设计边界之间存在一定的偏差。所以,在实际产品中,所述至少一层绝缘层4中未被阴极层21覆盖到的部分也可能设置有隔断槽45。
S4、在形成有所述至少一层绝缘层4的柔性衬底1上形成阴极层21,阴极层21从显示区Q 1延伸至非显示区Q 2,阴极层21的边缘位于非显示区Q 2,且阴极层21被隔断槽45所隔断。
这样设置,使得所形成的显示基板100在封装后,可以阻止水汽由隔断槽45靠近开孔3的一侧通过阴极层21渗向隔断槽45远离开孔3的一侧,从而可以在设置开孔3的同时,改善水汽容易腐蚀阴极层21的问题,以降低外部水汽对显示基板100造成的影响。
在此基础上,示例性的,参见图4,在形成阴极层21之前,该制作方法还包括:在柔性衬底1的第一侧形成发光功能层22(例如,电子传输层、电子注入层、有机发光层、空穴注入层和空穴传输层等),发光功能层22从显示区Q 1延伸至非显示区Q 2,发光功能层22的边缘位于阴极层21的边缘和显示区Q 1之间;其中,至少部分隔断槽45同时隔断阴极层21和发光功能层22。
这样设置,使得所形成的显示基板100在封装后,还可以阻止水汽由隔断槽45靠近开孔3的一侧通过发光功能层22渗向隔断槽45远离开孔3的一侧,从而可以在设置开孔3的同时,改善水汽容易腐蚀发光功能层22和阴极层21的问题,以降低外部水汽对显示基板100造成的影响。
在一些实施例中,参见图3和图4,所述至少一层绝缘层4包括依次远离阴极层21的第一无机绝缘层41和第一有机绝缘层42。
所述在所述至少一层绝缘层4形成至少一个隔断槽45,包括:通过刻蚀工艺刻蚀第一无机绝缘层41和至少部分第一有机绝缘层42,以形成至少一个隔断槽45。
这样设计,有利于简化制作工艺,从而便于快速加工出上述隔断槽45。
需要说明的是,本公开一些实施例提供的显示基板的制作方法,用于制作出如上所述的任一实施例中的显示基板100,因此,所制作出的显示基板100具有如上所述的全部有益效果,此处不再进行赘述。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
