具体实施方式
为使本领域的技术人员更好地理解本公开的技术方案,下面结合附图对本公开提供的显示面板及其制备方法和显示装置进行详细描述。
图1A和图1B分别示出了相关技术的具有挖孔区的OLED显示面板的截面图和俯视图。图1A为沿着图1B所示的OLED显示面板的AA’线截取的截面图。具有挖孔区的OLED显示面板通常划分为透光区CR和正常显示区NR,透光区CR也可以称为挖孔区。在透光区CR,OLED显示面板的与出光侧相对的一侧上可以设置摄像头,以使得光能过穿透OLED显示面板射入摄像头。
如图1A所示,OLED显示面板通常包括衬底基板1。在透光区CR,衬底基板1上依次形成有栅极绝缘层GI、层间介电层ILD、平坦化层PLN、第二阳极层Anode2、像素限定层PDL、第一绝缘层CVD1、封装流平层IJP、第二绝缘层CVD2;在正常显示区NR,衬底基板1上依次形成有驱动电路层DCL、栅极绝缘层GI、层间介电层ILD、平坦化层PLN、第二阳极层Anode2、像素限定层PDL、第一绝缘层CVD1、封装流平层IJP、第二绝缘层CVD2。
图1A所示的实施例中,透光区CR的栅极绝缘层GI、层间介电层ILD、平坦化层PLN、第二阳极层Anode2、像素限定层PDL、第一绝缘层CVD1、封装流平层IJP、第二绝缘层CVD2分别与正常显示区NR中的栅极绝缘层GI、层间介电层ILD、平坦化层PLN、第一阳极层Anode1、像素限定层PDL、第一绝缘层CVD1、封装流平层IJP、第二绝缘层CVD2同层形成(即,分 别形成为一体结构)。透光区CR和正常显示区NR之间的区别仅仅在于:为了增大透光区CR的光透光率,将用于对透光区CR中的OLED器件进行驱动控制的相对应驱动电路进行外置,即,在透光区CR中不设置用于对该区域的OLED器件进行驱动的驱动电路层,例如可以设置在图1B所示的周边区域PR,但是本公开不限于此,例如本公开的显示面板可以不包括周边区域PR,而是可以将用于驱动透光区CR中的发光器件的驱动电路进行压缩然后设置在用于对正常显示区NR的OLED器件进行驱动的内置驱动晶体管层中的某一位置。
图1C示出了根据本公开实施例的OLED显示面板中的各个OLED器件。通常的OLED器件包括衬底基板1,形成在衬底基板1上的阻隔层9,包括栅极51、源极52和漏极53的薄膜晶体管(TFT)5,绝缘层6,阴极连接线2,设置在过孔61中的连接电极7,阳极31,发光层32,阴极33,像素限定层4,薄膜封装层10等等。
图1C仅仅是给出了一个示例,本公开不限于此。例如图1C中示出的绝缘层6可以为图1A中示出的栅极绝缘层GI和/或者平坦化层PLN,图1C中的薄膜晶体管5所在的层可以为图1A中示出的驱动电路层DCL,图1C中示出的阳极31所在的层可以为图1A中示出的第一阳极层Anode1或第二阳极层Anode2,图1C中示出的像素限定层4可以为图1A中示出的像素限定层PDL,图1C中示出的薄膜封装层10可以为图1A中示出的第一绝缘层CVD1。
上述薄膜晶体管5例如可以为图1D示出的底栅型薄膜晶体管,其可以包括衬底基板1上的栅极51、栅极绝缘层GI、有源层54、源极52和漏极53。这种底栅型薄膜晶体管用在显示基板时,在形成薄膜晶体管5之后,形成阳极层之前,薄膜晶体管5最顶层应当是例如图1A所示的平坦化层PLN,而不是栅极绝缘层GI。
上述薄膜晶体管5例如可以为图1E的(a)示出的顶栅型薄膜晶体管,其可以包括衬底基板1上的有源层54、源极52、漏极53、栅极绝缘层GI 和栅极绝缘层GI上形成的栅极51;作为选择,上述薄膜晶体管5例如可以为图1E的(b)示出的顶栅型薄膜晶体管,其可以包括衬底基板1上的源极52、漏极53、有源层54、栅极绝缘层GI和栅极绝缘层GI上形成的栅极51。这两种顶栅型薄膜晶体管用于对显示基板中的OLED发光器件进行驱动时,在形成薄膜晶体管5之后,形成阳极层之前,薄膜晶体管5最顶层例如可以如图1A所示的栅极绝缘层GI,而栅极绝缘层GI上形成了平坦化层。
如图1A所示,为了增加透光区CR的光透过率,对于透光区CR中的OLED发光器件而言,将用于对这些发光器件进行驱动的主要包括TFT驱动电路的驱动电路层进行外置,例如可以置于如图1B所示的周边区域PR,以增大透光区CR的光透过率。
如图1A所示,在将透光区CR的TFT驱动电路外置或者将用于驱动透光区CR的OLED器件的TFT驱动电路压缩后设置在正常显示区NR的显示面板中,透光区CR相对于其周边的正常显示区NR而言,将会存在凹陷,导致透光区CR和正常显示区NR二者之间存在段差(例如可能会存在大约0.7μm的高度差),这样会导致后期例如通过喷墨打印方法形成的封装平流层IJP在透光区CR存在凹陷MR,从而产生一个非标准的凹透镜结构,这样的结构将会使得光线无法聚焦在像面,产生球差和像散,造成衍射光线变形,成像解析度降低。
为此,根据本公开的一个实施例,提供了一种OLED显示面板,包括:正常显示区NR、至少部分被所述正常显示区NR围绕的至少一个透光区CR、至少部分围绕所述正常显示区NR设置的周边区域PR,如图1B所示。所述显示面板包括:衬底基板1;驱动电路层DCL,设置在衬底基板1上,并且包括位于所述正常显示区NR的用于对所述正常显示区NR的多个子像素进行驱动的内置晶体管驱动层(第一驱动电路);阳极层Anode,包括设置在所述正常显示区NR且位于所述驱动电路层DCL上方的第一阳极子层Anode1和设置在所述至少一个透光区CR的第二阳极子层Anode2,其中,所述第一阳极子层Anode1连接至所述内置晶体管驱动层并且包括彼此之间 绝缘且间隔开的多个第一阳极(图1B所示),以及所述第二阳极子层Anode2包括彼此之间绝缘且间隔开的多个第二阳极;第一绝缘层CVD1,设置在所述阳极层Anode上方,并且包括位于所述正常显示区的第一绝缘子层CVD11和设置在所述至少一个透光区的第二绝缘子层CVD12;功能膜层FL,位于所述至少一个透光区CR并且位于所述第二绝缘子层CVD12的靠近所述衬底基板1的一侧,其中,所述功能膜层FL配置为使得所述第一绝缘子层CVD11的远离所述衬底基板1一侧的第一表面在垂直于所述衬底基板1的方向上的第一高度H1与所述第二绝缘子层CVD12的远离所述衬底基板1一侧的第二表面在垂直于所述衬底基板1的方向上的第二高度H2之间的高度差小于第一阈值;以及设置在所述第一绝缘层CVD1的远离所述衬底基板1一侧的表面上、位于所述至少一个透光区CR和所述正常显示区NR的整块的封装平流层IJP。
本公开以OLED显示面板为例对设置有屏下摄像头的显示面板进行了描述,但是本公开不限于此,其他类型的显示面板也是可行的,本公开对此不做限定。
在本公开的实施例的显示面板中,可以采用图1B至图1E所示的包括透光区CR、包围所述透光区CR设置的显示区NR和至少部分包围所述显示区NR的周边区域PR,以及驱动电路层中所包括的薄膜晶体管及其所驱动的发光器件、底栅型薄膜晶体管和顶栅型薄膜晶体管。然而,本公开不限于此,可以根据实际应用来选择具体的驱动电路层和OLED器件的配置,然后再选择设置功能膜层的位置。
为了避免相关技术中透光区CR中不存在驱动电路层而导致其上形成的封装平流层IJP在透光区CR处下凹的问题,本公开在透光区CR中设置了功能膜层FL,其增大了透光区CR中封装平流层下方的层的高度,例如使得封装平流层下方的第一绝缘子层在透光区CR中部分的高度基本上等于其在正常显示区NR中部分的高度,从而在例如通过喷墨打印方式在有第一绝缘子层和第二绝缘子层构成的第一绝缘层上形成封装平流层时,显示面板的整 个表面上的封装平流层几乎是平坦的,改善了封装平流层的流平特性,从而可以避免封装平流层在透光区CR下凹所带来的衍射光斑变形以及成像解析度变差的问题。
图2A和图2B分别示出了根据本公开实施例的显示面板的截面图和俯视图。与图1A所示的相关技术的显示面板不同的是,本公开实施例的显示面板包括衬底基板1、在衬底基板1上形成的层间介电层ILD、平坦化层PLN、阳极层Anode、像素限定层PDL、第一绝缘层CVD1、封装平流层IJP和第二绝缘层CVD2。如图2A所示,本公开实施例的显示面板还包括形成在透光区CR中的作为功能膜层FL的第一栅极绝缘子层GI1,第一栅极绝缘子层GI1的高度与正常显示区NR的驱动电路层DCL的高度之间的差值小于第一阈值(例如,第一阈值可以为0.2μm,在所述高度差小于0.1μm时效果更佳),例如二者高度可以大致相同,这样可改善后续形成的封装平流层IJP的流平特性,减少像差,提高解析度。在该实施例中,显示面板还可以包括在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中的一体结构(或者整块的)的第二栅极绝缘子层GI2。在一个实施例中,第一栅极绝缘子层GI1和第二栅极绝缘子层GI2可以为一体结构。例如,可以采用图8所示的方法,在衬底基板1上形成驱动电路层DCL的图案,使得驱动电路层DCL仅仅设置在正常显示区NR中;然后,在衬底基板上通过例如气相沉积的方法由氧化硅、氮化硅或氮氧化硅材料形成栅极绝缘层材料,由于在透光区CR中没有设置驱动电路层DCL,因此所形成的栅极绝缘层材料在透光区CR处是下凹的;然后利用半色调掩膜板,采用灰化工艺,去除更多正常显示区NR中的栅极绝缘层材料,而保留更多透光区CR中的栅极绝缘层材料,从而使得透光区CR和正常显示区NR两个区域中的栅极绝缘层材料大致齐平,例如二者之间的高度差可以小于第一阈值。即,通过灰化工艺后,使得透光区CR中的栅极绝缘层材料与正常显示区NR中的栅极绝缘层材料大致齐平。如图2A所示,通过设置功能膜层FL,使得显示面板的第二栅极绝缘子层GI2的表面在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中几乎是齐平的,以确保与封装平流层IJP接触的第一绝缘层 CVD1所包括的透光区CR中的第二绝缘子层CVD12和正常显示区NR中的第一绝缘子层CVD11是齐平的,从而确保了可以形成基本上平坦的封装平流层IJP。形成平坦的封装平流层IJP,可以解决如图1A所示的相关技术中封装平流层IJP在透光区CR中下凹导致的衍射光斑变形、成像解析度降低的问题。
如图2A和图2B所示,在透光区CR中,第二阳极层Anode2包括多个第二阳极;在正常显示区NR中,第一阳极层Anode1包括多个第一阳极。如图2A和图2B所示,第二阳极在衬底基板1上的正投影的面积小于第一阳极在衬底基板1上的正投影的面积,而多个第二阳极中相邻两个第二阳极之间的第二距离D2可以大致等于多个第一阳极中相邻两个第一阳极之间的第一距离D1。第一距离D1表示相邻两个第一阳极上距离最近的两个点之间的距离,第二距离D2表示相邻两个第二阳极上距离最近的两个点之间的距离。第一距离D1大致等于第二距离D2的配置可以增强透光区CR的光透过率。但是本公开不限于此,例如在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中设置尺寸大致相同的第二阳极和第一阳极,此时可以通过减小在透光区CR中所设置的第二阳极的数量从而增大透光区CR中相邻两个第二阳极之间的距离来确保透光区CR的光透过率,如图2C和图2D所示,其中透光区CR中相邻两个第二阳极之间的距离D4大于正常显示区NR中相邻两个第一阳极之间的距离D3。
图2A至图2D示出的实施例的显示面板的驱动电路层DCL中所采用的驱动晶体管可以为如图1E所示的顶栅型薄膜晶体管。需要注意的是,图2A至图2D的显示面板不限于使用顶栅型薄膜晶体管作为驱动电路,例如还可以采用其他晶体管作为驱动电路,即,以栅极绝缘层GI的一部分作为功能膜层来补偿透光区CR和正常显示区NR的高度差的显示面板中的驱动晶体管不限于顶栅型薄膜晶体管。本实施例中,以顶栅型薄膜晶体管为例进行说明,仅仅是因为在形成顶栅型晶体管的过程中可以直接利用其形成栅极绝缘层的工艺来制备补偿高度差的功能膜层,这样可以使得显示面板的整个方法 更加简单,有利用节约制备成本。然而,需要明白的是,为了不改变现有工艺,可选的,可以在形成驱动晶体管(不必是顶栅型薄膜晶体管)后,可以利用现有的制备栅极绝缘层的工艺来制备功能膜层,这种方法在一定程度上也会使得制备方法变得简单。
图2E示出的实施例中的显示面板中的驱动电路层DCL中采用的驱动晶体管可以为如图1D所示的底栅型薄膜晶体管。对于底栅型薄膜晶体管,在制备的过程中,先形成栅极和栅极绝缘层,然后再形成有源层和源漏极。因此,针对基于底栅型薄膜晶体管的显示面板,在形成栅极绝缘层的过程中,使得透光区CR中的栅极绝缘层的高度比周边的正常显示区NR中薄膜晶体管的栅极绝缘层的高度高出一个裕度,然后再形成正常显示区NR的薄膜晶体管的有源层和源漏极,这将会补偿这一部分高出的裕度,以使得透光区CR和正常显示区NR两个区域之间的高度差小于第一阈值,以确保之后形成的封装平流层IJP的流平特性。例如图9所示,衬底基板1上的正常显示区NR中形成驱动晶体管的栅极和栅极绝缘层,此时在透光区CR中同时形成厚度较厚的栅极绝缘层;然后在正常显示区NR中形成驱动晶体管的有源层和源漏极,使得正常显示区NR的高度与透光区CR的高度之间的差小于第一阈值,即,缩小两个区域之间的高度差。在该过程中,在形成栅极绝缘层时可以利用半透膜掩膜板来形成透光区和正常显示区高度不同的栅极绝缘层。
本公开上述实施例中仅仅示出了发光器件的一部分,阳极层Anode和像素限定层PDL。如本领域技术人员已知,例如图1C所示,在形成像素限定层PDL后还需要在像素限定层PDL形成的凹槽中形成发光器件的发光层和阴极,因此虽然本公开的实施例中以像素限定层PDL为平坦的层的方式示出本公开的构思,但是实际上本领域技术人员应当明白,可以在具体实际应用中具体设计各层,例如本公开各实施例的附图中示出的像素限定层PDL可以为形成发光器件后的层。
图3A示出了根据本公开实施例的显示面板的截面示意图。与图1A所 示的相关技术的显示面板不同的是,本公开实施例的显示面板包括衬底基板1、在衬底基板上形成的栅极绝缘层GI、平坦化层PLN、阳极层Anode、像素限定层PDL、第一绝缘层CVD1、封装平流层IJP和第二绝缘层CVD2。如图3A所示,本公开实施例的显示面板还包括形成在透光区CR中的作为功能膜层FL的第一层间介电子层ILD1,第一层间介电子层ILD1的高度与正常显示区NR的栅极绝缘层GI的高度可以大致相同,或者二者的高度差小于第一阈值(例如第一阈值可以为0.2μm,在所述高度差小于0.1μm时效果更佳)。该显示面板还包括同时形成在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中的一体结构(或者整块的)的第二层间介电子层ILD2。可选地,第一层间介电子层ILD1和第二层间介电子层ILD2可以为一体结构。例如,可以类似于图7所示的方法,通过灰化工艺和半色调掩膜板,使得透光区CR中的层间介电层材料(例如氧化硅、氮化硅或氮氧化硅)与正常显示区NR中的层间介电层材料大致齐平。如图3A所示,通过设置功能膜层FL,使得显示面板的第二层间介电子层的表面在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中几乎是齐平的,以确保与封装平流层IJP接触的第一绝缘层CVD1所包括的透光区CR中的第二绝缘子层CVD12和正常显示区NR中的第一绝缘子层CVD11是齐平的,从而确保了可以形成基本上平坦的封装平流层IJP。形成平坦的封装平流层IJP,可以解决如图1A所示的相关技术中封装平流层IJP在透光区CR中下凹导致的衍射光斑变形、成像解析度降低的问题。
图3A所示的显示面板中在层间介电层ILD与驱动电路层DCL之间设置有栅极绝缘层GI。例如,本公开的显示面板在形成驱动电路层DCL后(例如包括图1D所示的顶栅型晶体管),整个驱动电路层DCL最上层可以为整层的厚度均一的栅极绝缘层GI,例如栅极可以嵌入在栅极绝缘层GI中或者栅极厚度相对于栅极绝缘层GI厚度较小。但是本公开不限于此,作为选择,本公开的显示面板可以采用图1C所示的底栅型晶体管时,栅极绝缘层GI会形成在源极和漏极下方,此时所形成的驱动电路层DCL最上层可以为如上实施例的第一层间介电子层ILD1和第二层间介电子层ILD2。
图4示出了根据本公开实施例的显示面板的截面示意图。与图1A所示的相关技术的显示面板不同的是,本公开实施例的显示面板包括衬底基板1、在衬底基板1上形成的栅极绝缘层GI、平坦化层PLN、阳极层Anode、像素限定层PDL、第一绝缘层CVD1、封装平流层IJP和第二绝缘层CVD2。如图4所示,本公开实施例的显示面板还包括形成在透光区CR中的作为功能膜层FL的第三绝缘子层CVD22,第三绝缘子层CVD22的高度与正常显示区NR的像素限定层PDL的高度可以大致相同,或者二者的高度差小于第一阈值(例如第一阈值可以为0.2μm,在第一阈值为0.1μm时效果更佳)。显示面板还包括同时形成在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中的一体结构的第一绝缘层CVD1。可选地,第一绝缘层CVD1和第三绝缘子层CVD22可以为一体结构。例如,可以类似于图7所示的方法,通过灰化工艺和半色调掩膜板,使得透光区CR中的第一绝缘层材料(例如氧化硅、氮化硅或氮氧化硅)与正常显示区NR中的第一绝缘层材料大致齐平。如图4所示,通过设置功能膜层FL(如图4所示的第三绝缘子层CVD22),使得显示面板的第一绝缘层CVD1的表面在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中几乎是齐平的。这样的构造,后续可以形成平坦的封装平流层IJP,从而可以解决如图1A所示的相关技术中封装平流层IJP在透光区CR中下凹导致的衍射光斑变形、成像解析度降低的问题。
图5示出了根据本公开实施例的显示面板的截面示意图。与图1A所示的相关技术的显示面板不同的是,本公开实施例的显示面板包括衬底基板1、在衬底基板上形成的栅极绝缘层GI、层间介电层ILD、阳极层Anode、像素限定层PDL、第一绝缘层CVD1、封装平流层IJP和第二绝缘层CVD2。如图5所示,本公开实施例的显示面板还包括形成在透光区CR中的作为功能膜层FL的第一平坦化子层PLN1,第一平坦化子层PLN1的高度与正常显示区NR的层间介电层ILD的高度可以大致相同,或者二者的高度差小于第一阈值(例如第一阈值可以为0.2μm,第一阈值越小越好,例如0.1μm时效果更佳)。显示面板还包括同时形成在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中的一体结 构的第一平坦化子层PLN1。可选地,第一平坦化子层PLN1和第二平坦化子层PLN2也可以形成为一体结构。例如,可以类似于图7所示的方法,通过灰化工艺和半色调掩膜板,使得透光区CR中的平坦化层材料(例如聚酰亚胺)与正常显示区NR中的平坦化层材料大致齐平。如图5所示,通过设置功能膜层FL(如图5所示的第一平坦化子层PLN1),使得显示面板的第一绝缘层CVD1的表面在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中几乎是齐平的。这样的构造,可以形成平坦的封装平流层IJP,从而可以解决如图1A所示的相关技术中封装平流层IJP在透光区CR中下凹导致的衍射光斑变形、成像解析度降低的问题。
图6示出了根据本公开实施例的显示面板的截面示意图。与图1A所示的相关技术的显示面板不同的是,本公开实施例的显示面板包括衬底基板1、在衬底基板1上形成的栅极绝缘层GI、层间介电层ILD、平坦化层PLN、阳极层Anode、像素限定层PDL、第一绝缘层CVD1、封装平流层IJP和第二绝缘层CVD2。如图6所示,本公开实施例的显示面板还包括形成在正常显示区NR中的驱动电路层DCL和形成在透光区CR中的作为功能膜层FL的驱动电路功能层FL-GS。在该实施例中,驱动电路功能层FL-GS包括多个功能块,其在衬底基板1上的正投影与多个第二阳极在衬底基板1上的正投影至少部分重叠,例如所述多个功能块在衬底基板1上的正投影落入所述多个第二阳极在衬底基板1上的正投影范围内,以避免阻挡光透射;可以在衬底基板1上形成正常显示区NR的驱动电路层DCL的同时形成驱动电路功能层FL-GS,即可以利用相同的材料和相同的工艺同时形成驱动电路层DCL和驱动电路功能层FL-GS。正常显示区NR中的驱动电路层DCL的高度与透光区CR中的驱动电路功能层FL-GS的高度可以大致相同,或者二者的高度差小于第一阈值(例如第一阈值可以为0.2μm,然而高度差越小越好,例如小于0.1μm时效果更佳)。该实施例中,透光区CR中的驱动电路功能层FL-GS仅仅起到垫高透光区CR的作用,其不用于对透光区CR内的子像素进行驱动。因此,本公开实施例中的驱动电路功能层FL-GS所包括的多个功能块是 浮置的。如上所述,用于对透光区CR内的子像素进行驱动从而使得子像素内的发光器件发光的驱动电路可以设置在周边区域PR中,或者对这些驱动电路进行压缩后,将压缩后的驱动电路设置在正常显示区NR的驱动电路层上。如图6所示,通过设置功能膜层FL(如图6所示的驱动电路功能层FL-GS),使得显示面板的第一绝缘层CVD1的表面在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中几乎是齐平的。这样的构造,可以形成平坦的封装平流层IJP,从而可以解决如图1A所示的相关技术中封装平流层IJP在透光区CR中下凹导致的衍射光斑变形、成像解析度降低的问题。
在本公开实施例的显示面板中,如图2A至图6所示,为了增大透光区CR的光透过率,将用来对透光区CR中的子像素进行驱动的驱动电路层外置,例如可以设置在正常显示区NR和透光区CR外的周边区域PR中。这种配置会导致透光区CR下凹,后续形成的各层均会下凹,因此例如通过喷墨打印方法形成的封装平流层IJP下凹,从而导致背面设置摄像头的透光区CR的正面下凹,导致衍射光斑变形、成像解析度下降。为了解决这一问题,本公开在透光区CR中增设功能膜层CR来补偿由于透光区CR中的驱动电路层外置导致的透光区CR与正常显示区NR之间的高度差,使得透光区CR各层的高度和几乎等于正常显示区NR各层的高度和,从而后续形成的封装平流层IJP在透光区CR与正常显示区NR几乎处于齐平的状态,例如两个区域之间的高度差可以小于第一阈值,例如可以为0.2μm,但是高度差越小越好,例如高度差小于0.1μm效果更佳,以此来消除透光区CR和正常显示区NR之间的段差,改善封装平流层IJP的平坦性,从而消除或减弱了相关技术中封装平流层IJP塌陷导致的球差和色散。
如上所述,相对于相关技术,本公开的显示面板在透光区CR中增设了功能膜层FL,例如图2A和图2B所示的作为功能膜层FL的第一栅极绝缘子层GI1,图3A所示的作为功能膜层FL的第一层间介电子层ILD1,图4所示的作为功能膜层FL的第三绝缘子层CVD22,图5所示的作为功能膜层FL的第一平坦化子层PLN1,图6所示的作为功能膜层FL的驱动电路功能 层FL-GS,以此来补偿由于透光区CR为了增大光透过率而将对透光区CR中的子像素进行驱动的驱动电路进行外置而导致的透光区CR下凹的深度。
本公开通过附图2A至图6所示的实施例来描述了本公开,但是本公开不限于此。本公开实施例的显示面板可以为基于图1C所示的OLED器件的显示面板,如上所述,本公开的显示面板中的OLED器件可以包括衬底基板1,形成在衬底基板1上的阻隔层9,包括栅极51、源极52和漏极53的薄膜晶体管5,绝缘层6,阴极连接线2,设置在过孔61中的连接电极7阳极31,发光层32,阴极33,像素限定层4,薄膜封装层10等等。图1C中示出的绝缘层6可以为图2A至图6中示出的栅极绝缘层GI和/或者平坦化层PLN,图1C中的薄膜晶体管5所在的层可以为图2A至图6中示出的驱动电路层DCL,图1C中示出的阳极31所在的层可以为图2A至图6中示出的第一阳极层Anode1或第二阳极层Anode2,图1C中示出的像素限定层4可以为图2A至图6中示出的像素限定层PDL,图1C中示出的薄膜封装层10可以为图2A至图6中示出的封装平流层IJP。
也就是说,在形成如图2A至图6所示的显示面板时,可以根据具体形成OLED器件的各个层结构来形成如图2A至图6所示的显示面板的各个层。例如,图1C所示的驱动电路层包括底栅型晶体管。如本领域技术人员已知的是,在形成底栅型晶体管时首先要形成栅极、再形成栅极绝缘层、源漏电极层,因此形成的阳极与晶体管之间的绝缘层可能不是栅极绝缘层。而如果OLED显示面板所基于的OLED器件所采用的驱动晶体管为顶栅型薄膜晶体管,则形成的阳极与晶体管之间的绝缘层可以是栅极绝缘层,此时的栅极绝缘层就可以为本公开实施例的图2A至图6所示的栅极绝缘层GI。因此,本公开上述实施例中记载的栅极绝缘层和像素限定层可以为形成OLED器件时涉及到的各个层,即,形成薄膜晶体管的栅极绝缘层可以作为图2A至图6所示的栅极绝缘层GI,而在形成OLED器件时起到像素限定作用的像素限定层可以为本公开实施例的图2A至图6所示的像素限定层PDL。但是本公开不限于此,图2A至图6所示的各个层仅仅是为说明本公开的实施例而列 举的层。
为了增大透光区CR的光透过率,可以选择透明材料作为显示面板的各层材料,如上所述,栅极绝缘层可以采用氧化硅、氮化硅和/或氮氧化硅来形成,层间介电层也可以采用氧化硅、氮化硅和/或氮氧化硅来形成,平坦化层可以采用聚酰亚胺来形成,第一绝缘层和第二绝缘层可以采用氧化硅、氮化硅和/或氧化硅材料形成,而阳极层可以采用常规的ITO形成。但是本公开不限于此,例如还可以采用其他材料来形成各个层。
根据本公开的另一方面,还提供了一种制备上述显示面板的方法。如图7所示,所述方法包括步骤S71至步骤S73。步骤S71,通过图案化工艺在衬底基板上形成驱动电路层,使得所述驱动电路层包括位于所述正常显示区的用于对所述正常显示区的多个子像素进行驱动的内置晶体管驱动层;步骤S72,在所述衬底基板的至少一个透光区形成功能膜层,使得所述至少一个透光区上的暴露膜层在垂直于所述衬底基板的方向上的高度与所述正常显示区上的暴露膜层在垂直于衬底基板的方向上的高度差小于第一阈值;步骤S73,在所述衬底基板上的所述至少一个透光区和所述正常显示区上形成整块的封装平流层。
如图8所示,在所述衬底基板的至少一个透光区形成功能膜层包括在所述衬底基板上形成功能膜层材料;以及利用半色调掩膜板HTM通过灰化工艺形成功能膜层的图案以使得所述至少一个透光区上的暴露膜层在垂直于所述衬底基板的方向上的高度与所述正常显示区上的暴露膜层在垂直于衬底基板的方向上的高度之间的差值小于第一阈值。
如图8所示,在正常显示区NR中形成了驱动电路层DCL,而透光区CR中并未设置驱动电路层时,在衬底基板1上形成功能膜层材料(例如栅极绝缘材料层),由于此时透光区CR的膜层高度低于其周边正常显示区NR中的膜层高度,因此所形成的栅极绝缘材料层将会呈现下凹结构。该下凹结构的处于透光区CR的部分的高度大于驱动电路层DCL的高度。利用半色调掩膜板HTM,对栅极绝缘材料层进行灰化处理,该半色调掩膜板HTM在透 光区CR和正常显示区NR对光的透过率不同。灰化处理后,透光区CR中的栅极绝缘材料层中的材料去除较少,而正常显示区NR中的栅极绝缘材料层中的材料被去除更多,使得灰化处理后的栅极绝缘层GI在透光区CR和正常显示区NR中的高度差小于第一阈值,以减小两个区域之间的高度差,以此来消除透光区CR和正常显示区NR之间的段差,改善随后形成的封装平流层IJP的平坦性,从而消除或减弱了相关技术中封装平流层IJP塌陷导致的球差和色散。
图8仅仅示出了本公开的一个实施例,所形成的栅极绝缘层GI包括了一体化结构的第一栅极绝缘子层GI1和第二栅极绝缘子层GI2。但是本公开不限于此,例如,在形成图2A和2B示出的栅极绝缘层时,可以先通过构图工艺在透光区CR中形成如图2A所示的第一栅极绝缘子层GI1,以减小透光区CR和正常显示区NR之间的段差,然后再形成几乎平坦的第二栅极绝缘子层GI2。
图8仅仅示出了形成包括作为功能膜层FL的第一栅极绝缘子层GI1的栅极绝缘层GI的方法,也可以采用类似的方法制备图3A至图5所示的包括作为功能膜层FL的第一层间绝缘子层ILD1的层间介电层ILD、包括作为功能膜层FL的第三绝缘子层CVD22的第一绝缘层CVD1、包括作为功能膜层FL的第一平坦化子层PLN1的平坦化层PLN。
图10示出了根据本公开实施例的制备显示面板的方法的流程图。该方法包括步骤S91和S92。在步骤S91,在所述衬底基板的至少一个透光区形成功能膜层包括在衬底基板上形成驱动电路层的同一构图工艺同时在衬底基板上的至少一个透光区上形成与所述内置晶体管驱动层同层的包括多个功能块的驱动电路功能层,以使得所述多个功能块在所述衬底基板上的正投影分别处于所述多个第二阳极在所述衬底基板上的正投影至少部分重叠(例如处于其范围内,以避免光透过率的减小);在步骤S92,在衬底基板上依次形成栅极绝缘层、层间介电层、平坦化层、阳极层、像素限定层、第一绝缘层、封装平流层和第二绝缘层。
除了形成功能膜层之外,本公开实施例的显示面板中其他层结构可以采用相关技术来制备,例如通过气相沉积方法来形成栅极绝缘层、层间介电层、第一绝缘层和第二绝缘层。在本公开中,可以通过喷墨打印方法形成所述封装平流层。在透光区中设置了功能膜层FL后,通过喷墨打印方法形成的封装平流层IJP将会是平坦的,因此可以消除或减弱相关技术中封装平流层IJP塌陷导致的球差和色散。
根据本公开的另一方面,还提供了一种显示装置,其包括根据上述实施例的显示面板和设置在所述显示面板的至少一个透光区内且位于衬底基板的远离所述阳极层一侧的至少一个感光元件,例如摄像头200,例如图11所示。
本公开实施例提供的显示装置可以为: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。本实施例提供的显示装置的显示面板中的透光区中设置了功能膜层来补偿由于透光区中的驱动电路层被外置而导致的下凹深度,从而使得显示面板的顶部封装平流层在透光区和正常显示区之间的高度差小于第一阈值,例如封装平流层在透光区和正常显示区几乎是齐平的,因此消除或减弱了相关技术中封装平流层IJP塌陷导致的球差和色散。对于该显示装置的其它必不可少的组成部分均为本领域的普通技术人员应该理解具有的,在此不做赘述,也不应作为对本发明的限制。
可以理解的是,以上实施方式仅仅是为了说明本公开的原理而采用的示例性实施例,然而本公开并不局限于此。对于本领域内的普通技术人员而言,在不脱离本公开的精神和实质的情况下,可以做出各种变型和改进,这些变型和改进也视为本公开的保护范围。
