图4为一种像素驱动电路的工作时序图。下面通过图3示例的像素驱动电路的工作过程说明本公开示例性实施例,图3中的像素驱动电路包括7个晶体管(第一晶体管T1到第六晶体管T7)、1个存储电容C和7个信号线(数据信号线D、第一扫描信号线S1、第二扫描信号线S2、发光信号线E、初始信号线INIT、第一电源线VDD和第二电源线VSS),7个晶体管均为P型晶体管。
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。

在示例性实施方式中,每个子像素的驱动电路层102可以包括构成像素驱动电路的多个晶体管和存储电容,图5中仅以一个驱动晶体管和一个存储电容为例进行示意。在一些可能的实现方式中,每个子像素的驱动电路层102可以包括:设置在基底上的第一绝缘层;设置在第一绝缘层上的有源层;覆盖有源层的第二绝缘层;设置在第二绝缘层上的栅电极和第一电容电极;覆盖栅电极和第一电容电极的第三绝缘层;设置在第三绝缘层上的第二电容电极;覆盖第二电容电极的第四绝缘层,第二绝缘层、第三绝缘层和第四绝缘层上开设有过孔,过孔暴露出有源层;设置在第四绝缘层上的源电极和漏电极,源电极和漏电极分别通过过孔与有源层连接;覆盖前述结构的平坦层,平坦层上开设有过孔,过孔暴露出漏电极。有源层、栅电极、源电极和漏电极组成晶体管210,第一电容电极和第二电容电极组成存储电容211。
在示例性实施方式中,发光结构层103包括在电场作用下使有机材料发光的发光器件,发光结构层103可以包括阳极301、像素定义层302、有机发光层303和阴极304。阳极301设置在平坦层205上,通过平坦层205上开设的过孔与驱动晶体管210的漏电极连接;像素定义层302设置在阳极301和平坦层205上,像素定义层302上设置有像素开口,像素开口暴露出 阳极301;有机发光层303至少部分设置在像素开口内,有机发光层303与阳极301连接;阴极304设置在有机发光层303上,阴极304与有机发光层303连接;有机发光层303在阳极301和阴极304驱动下出射相应颜色的光线。
在示例性实施方式中,封装层104可以包括叠设的第一封装层401、第二封装层402和第三封装层403,第一封装层401和第三封装层403可采用无机材料,第二封装层402可采用有机材料,第二封装层402设置在第一封装层401和第三封装层403之间,可以保证外界水汽无法进入发光结构层103。

在示例性实施方式中,不同颜色的OLED发光器件的发光层不同。例如,红色发光器件包括红色发光层,绿色发光器件包括绿色发光层,蓝色发光器件包括蓝色发光层。为了降低工艺难度和提升良率,位于发光层一侧的空穴注入层和空穴传输层可以采用共通层,位于发光层另一侧的电子注入层和电子传输层可以采用共通层。在示例性实施方式中,空穴注入层、空穴传输层、电子注入层和电子传输层中的任意一层或多层可以通过一次工艺(一次蒸镀工艺或一次喷墨打印工艺)制作,但通过形成的膜层表面段差或者通过表面处理等手段实现隔离。例如,相邻子像素对应的空穴注入层、空穴传输层、电子注入层和电子传输层中的任意一层或多层可以是隔离的。在示例性实施方式中,有机发光层可以通过蒸镀工艺或者喷墨工艺制备形成。
由于市场要求产品的分辨率越来越高,要求独立子像素的亮度越来越高,要求产品的功耗越来越低,因而对显示装置中发光器件的出光效率和亮度提出了更高的要求。按照发光位置的不同,OLED显示装置可以分为底发射 OLED和顶发射OLED两种。虽然顶发射OLED具有改善发光效率、提高色纯度等特点,显示效果的增强作用明显,但也存在内部光波导、表面等离子体激元、非辐射耗散等损耗,降低了出光效率。一种OLED显示装置中,为了增强器件的出光效率,通常设置外部光取出结构,例如,在半透明的阴极上设置一层光输出耦合层,或者在半透明的阴极表面设置一层高折射率的电介质。
图6为本公开示例性实施例一种发光器件的结构示意图。如图6所示,发光器件为有机电致发光器件,可以包括阳极10、阴极90以及设置在阳极10和阴极90之间的有机发光层。在示例性实施方式中,有机发光层可以包括叠设的发光层(EML)50和电子传输层(ETL)70,电子传输层70设置在发光层50与阴极90之间。在示例性实施方式中,发光层50被配置为使电子和空穴发生复合而发出光线,电子传输层70被配置为实现注入电子定向有序的可控迁移。
在示例性实施方式中,电子传输层可以至少包括第一主体材料和第二主体材料,沿着发光层50到阴极90的方向,电子传输层中第一主体材料的质量百分比逐渐降低,电子传输层中第二主体材料的质量百分比逐渐增加。在示例性实施方式中,第一主体材料和第二主体材料可以满足:
N
1>N
2;
其中,N
1为第一主体材料的折射率,N
2为第二主体材料的折射率。例如,第一主体材料的折射率N

2可以约为1.6(@460nm)。
在示例性实施方式中,材料的折射率可以采用椭偏仪设备进行测量,@460nm表示在波长为460nm时测量的折射率。
在示例性实施方式中,在电子传输层靠近发光层的第一侧,电子传输层的折射率可以约为1.80至2.00。
在示例性实施方式中,在电子传输层远离发光层(靠近阴极)的第二侧,电子传输层的折射率可以约为1.55至1.70。
在示例性实施方式中,电子传输层的厚度可以约为20nm至50nm。

在示例性实施方式中,第一主体材料和第二主体材料可以采用共蒸的方式,使第一主体材料和第二主体材料均匀分散在电子传输层中,可以在蒸镀过程中通过控制第一主体材料的蒸镀速率和第二主体材料的蒸镀速率来调控混合比例。例如,在蒸镀过程中,控制第一主体材料的蒸镀速率约为
控制第二主体材料的蒸镀速率约为
实现电子传输层中第一主体材料的质量百分比约为30%,电子传输层中第二主体材料的质量百分比约为70%。
一种OLED结构中,电子传输层的折射率通常具有固定的。当光波(电磁波)入射到金属与电介质分界面时,金属表面的自由电子发生集体振荡,电磁波与金属表面自由电子耦合而形成的一种沿着金属表面传播的近场电磁波,如果电子的振荡频率与入射光波的频率一致就会产生共振,在共振状态下电磁场的能量被有效地转变为金属表面自由电子的集体振动能,这时就形成的一种特殊的电磁模式:电磁场被局限在金属表面很小的范围内并发生增强,这种现象就被称为表面等离子激元(Surface Plasmon Polariton,简称SPP)效应,该效应会导致出射光效率降低。为了减少电子传输层与阴极之间的表面等离子激元现象,以减少光损耗,电子传输层需要采用较小折射率的材料。但较小折射率的电子传输层与发光层之间的膜层反射效应较低,降低了整体器件的微腔效应,降低了发光器件的出光效率。为了提高电子传输层与发光层之间的膜层反射效应,电子传输层需要采用较大折射率的材料。但较大折射率的电子传输层与阴极之间的表面等离子激元现象严重,光损耗增加,降低了发光器件的出光效率。本公开示例性实施例的电子传输层采用不同折射率的第一主体材料和第二主体材料混合而成,且不同位置第一主体材料和第二主体材料的混合比例不同,电子传输层中靠近发光层一侧的折射率大于电子传输层中远离发光层一侧的折射率,最大限度地使得多膜层体系中的折射率的搭配更加合理,优化了发光器件的光学性能,有效提高了发光器件内部的耦合出光效率,更利于发挥器件的出光特性。
本公开示例性实施例中,通过减少电子传输层中远离发光层一侧的折射 率,有效减少了电子传输层与阴极之间的表面等离子激元现象,减少了光损耗。通过增加电子传输层中靠近发光层一侧的折射率,有效提高了电子传输层与发光层之间的膜层反射效应,增强了整体器件的微腔效应。因此,本公开示例性实施例最大限度地使得多膜层体系中的折射率的搭配更加合理,优化了发光器件的光学性能,有效提高了发光器件内部的耦合出光效率,更利于发挥器件的出光特性。
在示例性实施方式中,发光层可以为红色发光层,或者可以为绿色发光层,或者可以为蓝色发光层。通过提高红色发光层、绿色发光层和蓝色发光层的发光效率,可较好地改善发光器件的整体性能。

如图9a至图9c所示,与对比结构1相比,由于对比结构2和对比结构3中电子传输层靠近发光层一侧混合有折射率较高的第一主体材料,折射率增加,提高了电子传输层与发光层之间的膜层反射效应,使得对比结构2和对比结构3中SPP损耗模式的占比减少,波导模式的占比增加,但SPP损耗模式占比减少的程度大于波导模式占比增加的程度,因而耦合出光模式的占比增加,提升了发光器件的效率。与对比结构2相比,由于对比结构3中电子传输层靠近发光层一侧混合第一主体材料的比例高于对比结构2中电子传输层靠近发光层一侧混合第一主体材料的比例,对比结构3中电子传输层靠近发光层一侧的折射率大于对比结构2中电子传输层靠近发光层一侧的折射率,进一步提高了电子传输层与发光层之间的膜层反射效应,使得对比结构3中SPP损耗模式的占比增加,波导模式的占比减少,但波导模式占比减少的程度大于SPP损耗模式占比增加的程度,因而对比结构3的耦合出光模式的占比增加,进一步提升了发光器件的效率。
本公开示例性实施例通过电子传输层采用第一主体材料和第二主体材料的混合结构,且电子传输层靠近发光层一侧的折射率大于电子传输层远离发光层一侧的折射率,最大限度地使得多膜层体系中的折射率的搭配更加合理,优化了发光器件的光学性能,有效提高了发光器件内部的耦合出光效率,相应抑制了其它不期望的模式效应,更利于发挥器件的出光特性。
