在示例性实施方式中,像素驱动电路的工作过程可以包括:
第一阶段A1,称为复位阶段,第二扫描信号线S2的信号为低电平信号,第一扫描信号线S1和发光信号线E的信号为高电平信号。第二扫描信号线S2的信号为低电平信号,使第一晶体管T1导通,初始信号线INIT的信号提供至第二节点N2,对存储电容C进行初始化,清除存储电容中原有数据电压。第一扫描信号线S1和发光信号线E的信号为高电平信号,使第二晶体管T2、第四晶体管T4、第五晶体管T5、第六晶体管T6和第七晶体管T7断开,此阶段OLED不发光。
第二阶段A2、称为数据写入阶段或者阈值补偿阶段,第一扫描信号线S1的信号为低电平信号,第二扫描信号线S2和发光信号线E的信号为高电平信号,数据信号线D输出数据电压。此阶段由于存储电容C的第二端为低电平,因此第三晶体管T3导通。第一扫描信号线S1的信号为低电平信号使第二晶体管T2、第四晶体管T4和第七晶体管T7导通。第二晶体管T2和第四晶体管T4导通使得数据信号线D输出的数据电压经过第一节点N1、导通的第三晶体管T3、第三节点N3、导通的第二晶体管T2提供至第二节点N2, 并将数据信号线D输出的数据电压与第三晶体管T3的阈值电压之差充入存储电容C,存储电容C的第二端(第二节点N2)的电压为Vd-|Vth|,Vd为数据信号线D输出的数据电压,Vth为第三晶体管T3的阈值电压。第七晶体管T7导通使得初始信号线INIT的初始电压提供至OLED的第一极,对OLED的第一极进行初始化(复位),清空其内部的预存电压,完成初始化,确保OLED不发光。第二扫描信号线S2的信号为高电平信号,使第一晶体管T1断开。发光信号线E的信号为高电平信号,使第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6断开。
第三阶段A3、称为发光阶段,发光信号线E的信号为低电平信号,第一扫描信号线S1和第二扫描信号线S2的信号为高电平信号。发光信号线E的信号为低电平信号,使第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6导通,第一电源线VDD输出的电源电压通过导通的第五晶体管T5、第三晶体管T3和第六晶体管T6向OLED的第一极提供驱动电压,驱动OLED发光。
在像素驱动电路驱动过程中,流过第三晶体管T3(驱动晶体管)的驱动电流由其栅电极和第一极之间的电压差决定。由于第二节点N2的电压为Vdata-|Vth|,因而第三晶体管T3的驱动电流为:
I=K*(Vgs-Vth)
2=K*[(Vdd-Vd+|Vth|)-Vth]
2=K*[(Vdd-Vd]
2
其中,I为流过第三晶体管T3的驱动电流,也就是驱动OLED的驱动电流,K为常数,Vgs为第三晶体管T3的栅电极和第一极之间的电压差,Vth为第三晶体管T3的阈值电压,Vd为数据信号线D输出的数据电压,Vdd为第一电源线VDD输出的电源电压。

随着显示技术的发展,高扫描频率和高分辨率(Pixels Per Inch,简称PPI)显示已经成为趋势产品,具有更精细的画质显示,具有更高的显示品质。对于采用LTPS晶体管的像素驱动电路,为满足高频显示的需求,需要提高驱动晶体管的充电率,为满足高分辨率显示,需要减小驱动晶体管和存储电容的尺寸,因而高扫描频率和高分辨率显示要求短沟道的驱动晶体管(第三晶体管T3)。短沟道的驱动晶体管不仅可以提高像素驱动电路充电率,而且可以降低饱和压降,从而降低功耗。但研究表明,短沟道的驱动晶体管会引发驱动晶体管输出特性上翘问题。对于工作在饱和区的长沟道薄膜晶体管,漏 电极偏压会改变有效沟道长度,但源电极势垒保持常数,沟道内电势可以近似为依赖于横向电场ε
x(受栅电极电压控制)的一维分布。对于短沟道薄膜晶体管,在源电极和漏电极的耗尽区长度之和可以与沟道长度相比拟时,沟道内电势分布变成两维分布,依赖于横向电场ε
x,会发生沟道电流Id不饱和等短沟道效应。若沟道长度继续缩小至源电极和漏电极的耗尽区长度之和与沟道长度几乎相等时,会产生更严重的漏致势垒降低(Drain Induced Barrier Lowering,简称DIBL)效应,这时漏电极偏压会使源端势垒降低,源电极沟道载流子浓度不固定,额外的载流子注入会导致电流显著增加,无论在亚阈值区或饱和区,薄膜晶体管都无法正常工作。
本公开示例性实施例通过将第三晶体管T3靠近漏电极(第三有源层的第一区)一端的沟道设置成扇形状,即将沟道区18中第一沟道段18-1或者第一沟道段18-1中第一子段18a的形状设置成梯形状,通过增加靠近漏电极一端沟道的面积,在相同的漏电极偏压下,可以使漏电场分散,从而减小横向电场ε
x,漏电极耗尽区在沟道方向变短,从而改善了因沟道变短引起的薄膜晶体管输出不饱和问题,可以使薄膜晶体管的输出特性平坦。本公开示例性实施例提出的输出特性平坦的短沟道驱动晶体管不仅可以节省空间,有利于高分辨率显示,而且沟道长度减小,驱动晶体管的阈值电压Vth降低,有利于降低功耗。

(31)形成阳极图案。在示例性实施例中,形成阳极图案可以包括:在形成前述图案的基底上,沉积透明导电薄膜,采用图案化工艺对透明导电薄膜进行图案化,形成设置在第二平坦层上的阳极71,如图26所示。
在示例性实施例中,阳极71为六边形状,阳极71通过第二十三过孔V23与阳极连接电极63连接。由于阳极连接电极63通过第二十过孔与第七连接电极55连接,第七连接电极55通过第四过孔与第六有源层连接,因而实现了像素驱动电路可以驱动发光器件发光。
在示例性实施例中,后续制备流程可以包括:涂覆像素定义薄膜,通过图案化工艺对像素定义薄膜进行图案化,形成像素定义层,每个子像素的像素定义层设置有像素开口,像素开口暴露出阳极。采用蒸镀或喷墨打印工艺形成有机发光层,在有机发光层上形成阴极。形成封装层,封装层可以包括叠设的第一封装层、第二封装层和第三封装层,第一封装层和第三封装层可以采用无机材料,第二封装层可以采用有机材料,第二封装层设置在第一封装层和第三封装层之间,可以保证外界水汽无法进入发光结构层。
本公开前述所示结构及其制备过程仅仅是一种示例性说明,在示例性实施方式中,可以根据实际需要变更相应结构以及增加或减少构图工艺,本公开显示基板可以应用于具有像素驱动电路的其它显示装置中,如量子点显示等,本公开在此不做限定。
从以上描述的显示基板的结构以及制备过程可以看出,本公开提供的显示基板,通过将第三晶体管中沟道的漏端段设置成扇形状,增加了靠近漏电极一端沟道的面积,在相同的漏电极偏压下,可以使漏电场分散,从而减小横向电场,漏电极耗尽区在沟道方向变短,从而改善了因沟道变短引起的薄膜晶体管输出不饱和问题,可以使薄膜晶体管的输出特性平坦。本公开示例性实施例提出的输出特性平坦的短沟道驱动晶体管不仅可以节省空间,有利于高分辨率显示,而且沟道长度减小,驱动晶体管的阈值电压降低,有利于降低功耗。本公开的制备工艺可以很好地与现有制备工艺兼容,工艺实现简单,易于实施,生产效率高,生产成本低,良品率高。
