具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图,对本公开实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例是本公开的一部 分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本公开的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开的保护范围。
需要说明的是,在附图中,为了清楚和/或描述的目的,可以放大元件的尺寸和相对尺寸。如此,各个元件的尺寸和相对尺寸不必限于图中所示的尺寸和相对尺寸。在说明书和附图中,相同或相似的附图标号指示相同或相似的部件。
当元件被描述为“在”另一元件“上”、“连接到”另一元件或“结合到”另一元件时,所述元件可以直接在所述另一元件上、直接连接到所述另一元件或直接结合到所述另一元件,或者可以存在中间元件。然而,当元件被描述为“直接在”另一元件“上”、“直接连接到”另一元件或“直接结合到”另一元件时,不存在中间元件。用于描述元件之间的关系的其他术语和/或表述应当以类似的方式解释,例如,“在......之间”对“直接在......之间”、“相邻”对“直接相邻”或“在......上”对“直接在......上”等。此外,术语“连接”可指的是物理连接、电连接、通信连接和/或流体连接。此外,X轴、Y轴和Z轴不限于直角坐标系的三个轴,并且可以以更广泛的含义解释。例如,X轴、Y轴和Z轴可彼此垂直,或者可代表彼此不垂直的不同方向。出于本公开的目的,“X、Y和Z中的至少一个”和“从由X、Y和Z构成的组中选择的至少一个”可以被解释为仅X、仅Y、仅Z、或者诸如XYZ、XYY、YZ和ZZ的X、Y和Z中的两个或更多个的任何组合。如文中所使用的,术语“和/或”包括所列相关项中的一个或多个的任何组合和所有组合。
需要说明的是,虽然术语“第一”、“第二”等可以在此用于描述各种部件、构件、元件、区域、层和/或部分,但是这些部件、构件、元件、区域、层和/或部分不应受到这些术语限制。而是,这些术语用于将一个部件、构件、元件、区域、层和/或部分与另一个相区分。因而,例如,下面讨论的第一部件、第一构件、第一元件、第一区域、第一层和/或第一部分可以被称为第二部件、第二构件、第二元件、第二区域、第二层和/或第二部分,而不背离本公开的教导。
为了便于描述,空间关系术语,例如,“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等可以在此被使用,来描述一个元件或特征与另一元件或特征如图中所示的关系。应理解,空间关系术语意在涵盖除了图中描述的取向外,装置在使用或操作中的其它不同取向。例如,如果图中的装置被颠倒,则被描述为“在”其它元件或特征“之下”或“下面”的元件将取向为“在”其它元件或特征“之上”或“上面”。
本领域技术人员应该理解,在本文中,除非另有说明,表述“高度”或“厚度”指的是沿垂直于显示面板设置的各个膜层的表面的尺寸,即沿显示面板的出光方向的尺寸,或称为沿显示装置的法线方向的尺寸。
在本文中,除非另有说明,表述“构图工艺”至少包括光刻胶的涂布、曝光、显影等步骤。表述“一次构图工艺”意指使用一块掩模板形成图案化的层、部件、构件等的工艺。
需要说明的是,表述“同一层”,“同层设置”或类似表述,指的是采用同一成膜工艺形成用于形成特定图形的膜层,然后利用同一掩模板通过一次构图工艺对该膜层图案化所形成的层结构。根据特定图形的不同,一次构图工艺可能包括多次曝光、显影或刻蚀工艺,而形成的层结构中的特定图形可以是连续的也可以是不连续的。这些特定图形还可能处于不同的高度或者具有不同的厚度。也就是说,位于同一层的元件或膜层通常包含相同的材料且通过同一构图工艺形成。
在本文中,除非另有说明,表述“电连接”可以表示两个部件或元件直接电连接,例如,部件或元件A与部件或元件B直接接触,并且二者之间可以传递电信号;也可以表示两个部件或元件通过例如导电线的导电媒介电连接,例如,部件或元件A通过导电线与部件或元件B电连接,以在两个部件或元件之间传递电信号;还可以表示两个部件或元件通过至少一个电子元器件电连接,例如,部件或元件A通过至少一个薄膜晶体管与部件或元件B电连接,以在两个部件或元件之间传递电信号。
本公开的实施例至少提供一种显示基板,包括:衬底基板,所述衬底基板包括显示区域和包围所述显示区域的封装区域,所述封装区域用于设置封框胶;设置在所述衬底基板上的隔断结构,所述隔断结构位于所述封装区域中,所述隔断结构具有相对的第一侧和第二侧,所述第一侧和所述第二侧中的一个靠近所述显示区域,所述第一侧和所述第二侧中的另一个远离所述显示区域,以及;设置在所述衬底基板上的导光结构,所述导光结构位于所述封装区域中且靠近所述隔断结构设置,其中,至少一个所述导光结构位于所述隔断结构的第一侧,用于引导光照射至所述隔断结构位于第一侧的侧面与所述导光结构相对的部分上;以及所述隔断结构具有第一倾斜侧面,所述第一倾斜侧面位于所述第一侧,且从靠近所述衬底基板向远离所述衬底基板的方向上,所述第一倾斜侧朝向远离所述第二侧的方向倾斜,所述第一倾斜侧面与所述衬底基板 之间具有第一空间。通过这样的结构,可以提高显示基板的封装信赖性。
图1是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的显示面板的平面图,图2是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的显示面板沿图1中的线AA’截取的截面图。结合参照图1和图2,所述OLED显示面板可以包括相对设置的第一基板1和第二基板2。例如,第一基板1可以是阵列基板,第二基板2可以是由诸如玻璃、有机材料等形成的盖板。
例如,所述OLED显示面板还可以包括设置在第一基板1和第二基板2之间的封框胶3,封框胶3成环状地设置在第一基板1的周边区域中,即,在第一基板1的周边区域中布置有一圈封框胶3。这样,封框胶3可以起到防止水汽和氧气侵入,维持显示面板周边区域的盒厚,以及粘结第一基板与第二基板的作用。例如,在第一基板和第二基板之间的间隙中,还可以填充有填充胶,填充胶可以采用树脂类材料。通过设置填充胶和封框胶3,实现了Dam+Filler的封装结构。需要说明的是,本公开的实施例不局限于该封装结构,在不冲突的情况下,其他类型的封装结构均可以用于本公开的实施例中。
参照图1,显示基板(例如第一墓板1)可以包括:衬底墓板10,例如,所述衬底基板10可以由玻璃、塑料、聚酰亚胺等材料形成。该衬底基板10包括显示区域AA和位于显示区域AA的至少一侧(为了方便描述,将该侧称为第一侧)的周边区域(或称为非显示区域)NA。周边区域NA可以包括封装区域ENA和其他周边区域。
需要说明的是,除非另有特别说明,在本文中,表述“封装区域”表示被封框胶3覆盖的区域。
继续参照图1,第一基板1可以包括设置在显示区域AA中的多个像素单元P(在图1中以虚线框示意性示出),多个像素单元P可以沿第一方向X和第二方向Y成阵列地排布在衬底基板10上。每一个像素单元P可以进一步包括多个子像素,例如红色子像素、绿色子像素、蓝色子像素。在图1中,示意性地示出了一个子像素SP。
需要说明的是,在附图中,以矩形形状示意性示出像素单元和子像素,但是,这并不构成对本公开的实施例提供的显示面板包括的像素单元和子像素的形状的限制。
第一基板1还可以包括发光器件,例如OLED器件4,如图2所示,OLED器件4包括第一电极41、与第一电极41相对设置的第二电极43以及设置在第一电极41与第二电极43之间的发光层42。
第一电极41和第二电极43中的一个为阳极,另一个为阴极。例如,第一电极41可以是透明阴极,例如它可由透明导电材料形成,所述透明导电材料可以包括氧化铟锡(ITO)、氧化铟锌(IZO)等。第二电极43可以是反射阳极,例如它可由金属材料形成,所述金属材料可以包括镁铝合金(MgAl)、锂铝合金(LiAl)等合金或者镁、铝、锂等单金属。发光层42可以为多层结构,例如它可以包括空穴注入层、空穴传输层、有机发光层、电子传输层和电子注入层形成的多层结构。
需要说明的是,OLED器件4可以采用有源驱动或无源驱动。无源驱动OLED阵列基板由阴极和阳极构成,阳极和阴极的交叉部分可以发光,驱动电路可由带载封装或玻璃载芯片等连接方式进行外装。有源驱动OLED阵列基板对每个像素可配备像素驱动电路,该像素驱动电路可以包括具有开关功能的薄膜晶体管(即开关晶体管)、具有驱动功能的薄膜晶体管(即驱动晶体管)和一个电荷存储电容,另外,所述像素驱动电路还可以包括具有补偿功能的其他类型的薄膜晶体管。应该理解,在本公开的实施例中,所述显示面板可以配备已知的各种类型的像素驱动电路,在此不再赘述。
例如,如图2所示,第一基板1包括驱动电路层9,上述像素驱动电路可以设置在该驱动电路层9中。在驱动电路层9与OLED器件4之间,可以设置绝缘层91,该绝缘层91可以是单个绝缘膜层或者多个绝缘膜层组成的叠层。
第一基板1还可以包括设置在衬底基板10上的各种信号线,所述各种信号线包括扫描线、数据线、ELVDD电源线和ELVSS电源线等,以便为每个子像素中的像素驱动电路提供控制信号、数据信号、电源电压等各种信号。在图1示出的实施例中,示意性示出了扫描线GL和数据线DL。扫描线GL和数据线DL可以电连接到各个子像素。
图3是图2的部分I的局部放大图,其示意性示出了根据本公开实施例的显示基板在封装区域处的截面结构。结合参照图1至图3,第一基板1可以包括隔断结构5和像素界定层44。隔断结构5位于封装区域ENA中,封框胶3在衬底基板10上的正投影覆盖隔断结构5在衬底基板10上的正投影。像素界定层44位于显示区域AA中。例如,像素界定层44包括多个开口441,多个开口441分别对应多个子像素,即,多个子像素的OLED器件4的至少一部分分别位于多个开口441中。
需要说明的是,在图3中,示意性示出了2个隔断结构5,这不构成对本公开实 施例提供的显示基板中包括的隔断结构5的数量的限制,在其他实施例中,所述显示基板中可以设置更少数量(例如1个)或更多数量(例如3个、4个、5个或更多个)的隔断结构5。
在图3示出的实施例中,示意性示出了第二电极43和发光功能层40。例如,所述发光功能层40可以至少包括发光层42,或者,所述发光功能层40也可以包括发光层42和第二电极41。
继续参照图3,每一个隔断结构5的截面呈倒梯形的形状。具体地,每一个隔断结构5具有相对的第一侧FS和第二侧SS,第一侧FS和第二侧SS中的一个靠近显示区域AA,另一个远离显示区域AA。图3中以第一侧FS靠近显示区域AA为例进行说明。当然,也可以第二侧SS靠近显示区域AA,第一侧FS远离显示区域AA。隔断结构5具有第一倾斜侧面51,第一倾斜侧面51位于第一侧FS,且从靠近衬底基板10向远离衬底基板10的方向(即图3中从下至上的方向)上,第一倾斜侧面51向远离第二侧SS的方向倾斜,第一倾斜侧面51与衬底基板10之间具有第一空间SP1。隔断结构5具有第二倾斜侧面52,第二倾斜侧面52位于第二侧SS,且从靠近衬底基板10向远离衬底基板10的方向上,第二倾斜侧面52向远离第一侧FS的方向倾斜,第二倾斜侧面52与衬底基板10之间具有第二空间SP2。
例如,如图3所示,第一倾斜侧面51和第二倾斜侧面52均为倾斜的平面,即,在垂直于衬底基板10的截面中,第一倾斜侧面51和第二倾斜侧面52分别为倒梯形的倾斜侧边。但是,本公开的实施例不局限于此,第一倾斜侧面51和第二倾斜侧面52的形状不局限于平面,可以为曲面,将在下文中结合附图进一步描述。
由于隔断结构5具有倒梯形的截面形状,所以,在通过蒸镀工艺形成所述发光功能层40时,发光功能层40可以在隔断结构5的各个倾斜侧面处断开。如图3所示,发光功能层40被2个隔断结构5断开,从而包括彼此断开的多个部分,例如图3中所示的第一部分401、第二部分402、第三部分403、第四部分404和第五部分405。第一部分401和第二部分402在右侧的隔断结构5的第一倾斜侧面51处断开,第二部分402和第三部分403在右侧的隔断结构5的第二倾斜侧面52处断开,第三部分403和第四部分404在左侧的隔断结构5的第一倾斜侧面51处断开,第四部分404和第五部分405在左侧的隔断结构5的第二倾斜侧面52处断开。由于发光功能层40包括多个 断开的部分,所以水氧不能沿着发光功能层40侵入位于封框胶3包围的空间内的发光器件,即,发光功能层40不会形成为水氧侵入路径。这样,可以提高显示基板的封装信赖性。
在图3所示的实施例中,在2个隔断结构5的2个侧面处均形成有所述倾斜侧面,即,形成有4个倾斜侧面。本公开的实施例并不局限于此。在其他实施例中,可以使至少一个隔断结构的至少一个侧面形成上述倾斜侧面,使得发光功能层40至少在一处断开,从而阻断水氧侵入路径。例如,可以形成一个倾斜侧面,可以使右侧的隔断结构5的第一侧的侧面或第二侧的侧面形成为上述倾斜侧面,或者可以使左侧的隔断结构5的第一侧的侧面或第二侧的侧面形成为上述倾斜侧面。例如,可以形成两个倾斜侧面,可以使右侧的隔断结构5的第二侧的侧面和左侧的隔断结构5的第一侧的侧面形成为上述倾斜侧面。
在图3所示的实施例中,隔断结构5的截面整体呈现为倒梯形,换句话说,隔断结构5包括远离衬底基板10的顶面5P(即图3中的上表面),衬底基板10包括面向隔离结构5的第一表面10P(即图3中的上表面)。第一倾斜侧面51远离所述衬底基板10的一端51E到所述第一表面10P的垂直距离D1等于所述顶面5P到所述第一表面10P的垂直距离D3。第二倾斜侧面52远离所述衬底基板10的一端52E到所述第一表面10P的垂直距离D2等于所述顶面5P到所述第一表面10P的垂直距离D3。本公开的实施例也不局限于此。在其他实施例中,可以是隔断结构5的截面的一部分呈现为倒梯形。
图4A和图4B分别示意性示出了根据本公开实施例的显示基板的隔断结构的截面图。如图4A所示,隔断结构5包括位于第一侧FS的第一倾斜侧面51和位于第二侧SS的第二倾斜侧面52。除此之外,隔断结构5还包括位于第一侧FS的第三倾斜侧面53和位于第二侧SS的第四倾斜侧面54。从靠近衬底基板10向远离衬底基板10的方向上,第三倾斜侧面53向靠近第二侧SS的方向倾斜,第三倾斜侧面53与第一倾斜侧面51相交。从靠近衬底基板10向远离衬底基板10的方向上,第四倾斜侧面54向靠近第一侧FS的方向倾斜,第四倾斜侧面54与第二倾斜侧面52相交。第一倾斜侧面51远离所述衬底基板10的一端51E到所述第一表面10P的垂直距离D1小于所述顶面5P到所述第一表面10P的垂直距离D3。第二倾斜侧面52远离所述衬底基板10的一 端52E到所述第一表面10P的垂直距离D2小于所述顶面5P到所述第一表面10P的垂直距离D3。在该实施例中,由于隔断结构5的下部分形成倒梯形结构,所以在通过蒸镀工艺形成所述发光功能层40时,发光功能层40仍可以在隔断结构5的各个倾斜侧面处断开。
例如,第一倾斜侧面51和第二倾斜侧面52与衬底基板10所成的锐角θ1和θ2的夹角的取值范围可以为30°~80°。
在本公开的实施例中,第一倾斜侧面51和第二倾斜侧面52也可为曲面或弧面,例如,可以包括凸面和凹面。如图4B所示,第一倾斜侧面51和第二倾斜侧面52为凹面状。
返回参照图3,在本公开的实施例中,像素界定层44的截面可以呈正梯形形状。隔断结构5和像素界定层44可以包含相同的材料,并且通过同一构图工艺形成。
如图3所示,所述显示基板还包括设置在衬底基板10上的导光结构6,导光结构6位于封装区域ENA中且靠近隔断结构5设置。至少一个所述导光结构6位于隔断结构5的至少一侧,例如,位于至少一个隔断结构5的第一侧和/或第二侧。例如,在图3所示的实施例中,设置有1个导光结构6,且该导光结构6位于2个隔断结构5之间,即,该导光结构6位于右侧的隔断结构5的第二侧和左侧的隔断结构5的第一侧。导光结构6用于引导光照射至隔断结构5的侧面与所述导光结构6相对的部分上,从而形成倒梯形或部分倒梯形的隔断结构5。

参照图5A和图5B,第一导光层61包括远离所述衬底基板10的顶面61P,第一导光层的顶面61P到所述第一表面10P的垂直距离小于第一倾斜侧面51和第二倾斜侧面52中的每一个远离所述衬底基板10的一端51E、52E到所述第一表面10P的垂直距离。
图6示意性示出了根据本公开实施例的显示基板在显示区域AA中的截面图。如图6所示,所述显示基板可以包括:设置在衬底基板10上的有源层20,设置在有源层20远离衬底基板10一侧的第一绝缘层(例如栅极绝缘层)30,设置在第一绝缘层30远离衬底基板10一侧的栅极G1,设置在栅极G1远离衬底基板10一侧的第二绝缘层(例如层间绝缘层)60,设置在第二绝缘层60远离衬底基板10一侧的源极S1和漏极TD1,覆盖在源极S1和漏极TD1上的第三绝缘层(例如钝化层)70。其中,源极S1和漏极TD1分别通过过孔与有源层20连接。
所述显示基板还可以包括:设置在第三绝缘层70远离衬底基板10一侧的第四绝缘层(例如平坦化层)80。第二电极43通过形成在第三绝缘层70和第四绝缘层80中的过孔431与漏极TD1电连接。

再例如,第三绝缘层70和第四绝缘层80可包括无机绝缘材料、有机绝缘材料或它们的任何组合。例如,有机绝缘材料可包括聚酰亚胺、聚酰胺、丙烯酸树脂、酚树脂、苯并环丁烯等。

在本公开的实施例中,位于封装区域ENA中的导光结构6的膜层可以与位于显示区域AA中的像素单元的膜层位于同一层,这样,可以通过同一构图工艺同时形成位于显示区域AA中的像素单元的膜层和位于封装区域ENA中的导光结构6的膜层。也就是说,不需要增加额外的构图工艺来形成导光结构6,从而有利于简化所述显示基板的制造工艺。
例如,第二绝缘层60可以与第一导光层61位于同一层。即,第一导光层61可以包括层间绝缘层材料,从而有利于利用高折射率的材料形成所述第一导光层61。

下面,将进一步结合附图描述形成倒梯形的隔断结构5的工艺流程,在此基础上,进一步描述根据本公开实施例的显示基板的制造方法的工艺流程。
图7是根据本公开实施例的显示基板的制造方法的流程图,图8至图12分别示意性示出了根据本公开实施例的显示基板的制造方法的一些工艺步骤。结合参照图7至图12,所述显示基板的制造方法可以包括以下步骤。
在步骤S71中,提供衬底基板10,所述衬底基板10包括显示区域NA和包围所述显示区域的封装区域ENA。
在步骤S72中,在衬底基板10上形成导光结构6,所述导光结构6位于所述封装区域ENA中。
如图8所示,所述导光结构6具有相对的第一侧面6S1和第二侧面6S2,第一侧面6S1和第二侧面6S2中的一个靠近所述显示区域AA,第一侧面6S1和第二侧面6S2中的另一个远离所述显示区域AA。
在本公开的一些实施例中,步骤S72可以包括:在衬底基板10上形成第一反光层64;在所述第一反光层64远离所述衬底基板10一侧形成第二导光层62;在所述第二导光层62远离所述衬底基板10一侧形成第一导光层61;在所述第一导光层61远离所述衬底基板10一侧形成第三导光层63;和在所述第三导光层63远离所述衬底基板10一侧形成第二反光层65。所述第一导光层61的材料的折射率大于所述第二导光层62的材料的折射率,以及所述第一导光层61的材料的折射率大于所述第三导光层63 的材料的折射率。
在本公开的一些实施例中,如图11所示,步骤S72可以包括:在所述衬底基板10上形成第一反光层64;在所述第一反光层64远离所述衬底基板10一侧形成第一导光层61;和在所述第一导光层61远离所述衬底基板10一侧形成第二反光层65。
在本公开的一些实施例中,步骤S72还可以包括:在所述第二反光层65远离所述衬底基板10的一侧形成吸光层66。
需要说明的是,导光结构6的第一反光层64、第二导光层62、第一导光层61、第三导光层63、第二反光层65和吸光层66可以分别与显示区域AA中的一些膜层通过同一构图工艺或成膜工艺形成,也就是说,不需要增加额外的构图工艺来形成导光结构6,从而有利于简化所述显示基板的制造工艺。
例如,参照图8,步骤S72还可以包括:在吸光层66、第二反光层65和第三导光层63中的每一个中都形成开口VH,吸光层66、第二反光层65和第三导光层63中的每一个的开口VH彼此连通,以暴露所述第一导光层61的至少一部分。例如,吸光层66、第二反光层65和第三导光层63中的每一个的开口VH在第一导光层61上的正投影可以位于第一导光层61沿图8中所示的水平方向的大概中间位置。
例如,参照图11,步骤S72还可以包括:在吸光层66和第二反光层65中的每一个中都形成开口VH,吸光层66和第二反光层65中的每一个的开口VH彼此连通,以暴露所述第一导光层61的至少一部分。例如,吸光层66和第二反光层65中的每一个的开口VH在第一导光层61上的正投影可以位于第一导光层61沿图8中所示的水平方向的大概中间位置。
步骤S72还可以包括:在第一导光层61中形成间隔槽61H,所述间隔槽61H将所述第一导光层61划分为第一导光子层611和第二导光子层612,所述第一导光子层611具有面对所述第二导光子层612的第一侧壁611S,所述第二导光子层612具有面对所述第一导光子层611的第二侧壁612S。第一侧壁611S和第二侧壁612S彼此间隔开一定的距离。
在步骤S73中,如图9所示,在所述衬底基板10上涂覆正性光刻胶材料5L,所述正性光刻胶材料5L覆盖所述显示区域AA和所述封装区域ENA。如图9所示,所述正性光刻胶材料5L覆盖导光结构6。
在步骤S74中,通过构图工艺在所述封装区域ENA中形成隔断结构5。
在本公开的实施例中,可以基于下面的步骤执行所述步骤S74。
如图10所示,利用掩模板7,通过构图工艺形成所述隔断结构5。具体地,光(例如紫外光)LR经过掩模板7的开孔7H照射到所述正性光刻胶材料5L的一部分上,并且照射到所述导光结构6上。
在导光结构6的引导下,部分光从所述导光结构6的第一侧面6S1和第二侧面6S2射出,照射至所述正性光刻胶材料5L与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分上。
例如,结合参照图8至图10,光LR经过掩模板的开孔7H以及吸光层66、第二反光层65和第三导光层63中的每一个的开口VH照射到所述第一导光层61上,以将光引入所述第一导光层61中。由于第一导光层61的材料的折射率大于第二导光层62和第三导光层63中每一个的材料的折射率,所以,光在第一导光层61中传播的过程中,可以在第一导光层61与第二导光层62之间的界面以及第一导光层61与第三导光层63之间的界面上形成全反射。进一步地,对于部分没有发生全反射的光,它们可以被第一反光层64和第二反光层65反射回第一导光层61中,以使得光保持在第一导光层61中传播。这样,在图10所示的实施例中,在第一导光层61中传播的光可以分别从所述导光结构6的第一侧面6S1和第二侧面6S2射出,分别照射至所述正性光刻胶材料5L与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分上。
例如,在图11所示的实施例中,光LR经过掩模板的开孔7H以及吸光层66和第二反光层65中的每一个的开口VH照射到所述第一导光层61上,以将光引入所述第一导光层61中。在该实施例中,由于设置有间隔槽61H,所以,一部分光可以通过第一侧壁611S和第二侧壁612S从侧面进入第一导光层61中。光在第一导光层61中传播的过程中,向下传播的光和向上传播的光可以分别被第一反光层64和第二反光层65反射回第一导光层61中,以使得光保持在第一导光层61中传播。这样,在图11所示的实施例中,在第一导光层61中传播的光可以分别从所述导光结构6的第一侧面6S1和第二侧面6S2射出,分别照射至所述正性光刻胶材料5L与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分上。
例如,对于少部分既没有发生全反射又没有被反光层反射的光,在朝向上方出射 的过程中,可以被吸光层66吸收,这样,可以保证所述正性光刻胶材料5L与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分接收的光的光通量比所述正性光刻胶材料5L未与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分接收的光的光通量大,从而可以确保形成具有倒梯形或部分倒梯形的隔断结构5。
对经曝光的所述正性光刻胶材料5L执行显影工艺,在所述封装区域ENA中形成隔断结构5。在该步骤中,经曝光的所述正性光刻胶材料5L的部分在显影工艺中被去除。所述正性光刻胶材料5L与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分接收的光的光通量比所述正性光刻胶材料5L未与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分接收的光的光通量大,即,所述正性光刻胶材料5L与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分被曝光的宽度大于所述正性光刻胶材料5L未与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分被曝光的深度,所以,所述正性光刻胶材料5L与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分被去除的材料的宽度大,所述正性光刻胶材料5L未与所述第一侧面6S1和所述第二侧面6S2相对的部分被去除的材料的宽度小。这样,形成具有倒梯形或部分倒梯形的隔断结构5,如图12所示。
如上所述,每一个隔断结构5具有相对的第一侧FS和第二侧SS。结合参照图3和图12,位于右侧的隔断结构5具有第一倾斜侧面51,所述第一倾斜侧面51位于该隔垫结构5的第一侧FS,且从靠近所述衬底基板10向远离所述衬底基板10的方向上,所述第一倾斜侧面51朝向远离所述第二侧SS的方向倾斜,所述第一倾斜侧面51与所述衬底基板10之间具有第一空间SP1。位于左侧的隔断结构5具有第二倾斜侧面52,所述第二倾斜侧面52位于该隔垫结构5的第二侧SS,且从靠近所述衬底基板10向远离所述衬底基板10的方向上,所述第二倾斜侧面52朝向远离所述第一侧FS的方向倾斜,所述第二倾斜侧面52与所述衬底基板10之间具有第二空间SP2。
根据实际曝光量和曝光时间等因素,位于右侧的隔断结构5的第一倾斜侧面51和位于左侧的隔断结构5的第二倾斜侧面52可以形成为图4A或图4B所示的结构,或者形成图3所示的结构。
在本公开的实施例中,在所述构图工艺中,还在所述显示区域AA中形成像素界定层44。即,像素界定层44和隔断结构5是通过同一构图工艺形成的。也就是说,在本公开的实施例中,通过设置所述导光结构6,可以通过同一构图工艺,在显示区 域AA中形成正梯形的像素界定层44和倒梯形或部分倒梯形的隔断结构5。
在步骤S75中,可以通过蒸镀工艺在所述像素界定层44远离所述衬底基板10的一侧形成发光功能层40,例如,所述发光功能层40可以至少包括发光层42,或者,所述发光功能层40也可以包括发光层42和第二电极41。由于隔断结构5的一些侧面为上宽下窄的倾斜表面,例如上述的第一倾斜表面51和第二倾斜表面52,所以,发光功能层40至少在这些倾斜侧面处断开,如图12所示。
在步骤S76中,在所述衬底基板10的封装区域ENA中形成封框胶3,所述封框胶3在所述衬底基板10上的正投影覆盖所述隔断结构5和所述导光结构6中每一个在所述衬底基板10上的正投影。
需要说明的是,根据本公开的一些实施例,上述制造方法中的一些步骤可以单独执行或组合执行,以及可以并行执行或顺序执行,并不局限于图7所示的具体操作顺序。
图13是根据本公开的一些示例性实施例的显示装置的示意图。所述显示装置100包括上述的显示面板。例如,它包括显示区域AA和周边区域NA,显示区域AA和周边区域NA中的膜层结构可以参照上述各个实施例的描述,在此不再赘述。

应该理解,根据本公开实施例的显示装置具有上述显示基板和显示面板的所有特点和优点,具体可以参见上文的描述。
虽然本公开的总体技术构思的一些实施例已被显示和说明,本领域普通技术人员将理解,在不背离所述总体技术构思的原则和精神的情况下,可对这些实施例做出改变,本公开的范围以权利要求和它们的等同物限定。
