在对本公开实施例描述之前,首先对本公开实施例中所采用的发光器件进行说明。在本公开实施例中发光器件包括但不限于有机电致发光器件OLED,以下均以发光器件为OLED为例说明。OLED包括沿着背离基底的方向依次设置的第一电极、有机功能层和第二电极。其中,第一电极可以为发光器件的阳极,其可以采用两层氧化铟锡(ITO)之间夹导电率较好的金属材料,例如,其金属材料可以为铝(Al)、银(Ag)、钛(Ti)、钼(Mo) 中的任意一种,或者上述任意多种材料的合金。有机功能层可以包括发光层,该发光层的材料包括小分子有机材料或聚合物分子有机材料,可以为荧光发光材料或磷光发光材料,可以发红光、绿光、蓝光,或可以发白光等;并且,根据实际不同需要,在不同的示例中,有机功能层还可以进一步包括电子注入层、电子传输层、空穴注入层、空穴传输层等功能层。第二电极覆盖有机功能层,其极性可以与第一电极的极性相反,可以为发光器件的阴极,此阴极可为锂(Li)、铝(Al)、镁(Mg)、银(Ag)等金属材料中的任意一种,或者上述任意多种材料的合金制作而成。
OLED按照光的出射方向分为顶发射型和底发射型。其中,底发射型的OLED的光经由基底一侧射出,该种结构的OLED的阴极通常采用金属材料,作为反射电极。顶发射型的OLED的光则是由阴极射出,该种结构的OLED的阴极虽然也可以采用金属材料,但需要蒸镀较薄的金属材料作为阴极,以使光线可以从阴极射出,相应的,该种结构的OLED的阳极可以是反射阳极,也可以是在阳极靠近基底的一侧设置反射层,以使光线经由阴极射出。下述实施例中的OLED均是以采用顶发射型的OLED,且阳极为反射阳极为例进行说明。
图1为一种示例性的阵列基板的出光示意图,如图1所示,阵列基板包括基底,设置在基底上的多个像素单元,每个像素单元均包括多个OLED。其中,在下述描述中以像素单元包括蓝光OLED、绿光OLED和红光OLED为例进行说明。每个OLED的阳极、阴极和发光层三者共同组成一个微腔结构,在这个微腔结构中,发光层发出的光会在微腔中来回多次反射,最终从阳极的出光侧射出。以基底所在平面为基准,各OLED器件的阳极出光侧射出的光的方向几乎都是垂直方向,非垂直方向的出光量少。蓝光OLED所发出的光的亮度相较红色OLED或者绿色OLED所发出的光的亮度而言,随着可视角的增大衰减的更快,也即蓝色OLED的非垂直方向的出光量最少,因 此,导致不同位置的像素单元中绿光OLED、红光OLED、蓝光OLED三者发出的光在混光后出现一定的色偏。
为解决上述技术问题,在本公开实施例中提供如下技术方案:
需要说明的是,下述各实施中的附图中仅示出了发光器件的阳极结构,发光层和阴极结构并没有示意出,但本领域技术人员应该知道在基底上依次形成发光器件的阳极、有机功能层和阴极均是已知的现有技术,在此不再一一描述。
第一方面,本公开实施例提供的一种阵列基板,图2为本公开实施例提供的一种阵列基板的结构示意图,如图2所示,该阵列基板包括设置在基底(图中未示出)上的多个呈阵列排布的像素单元,每个像素单元A均包括绿色发光器件G、红色发光器件R和蓝色发光器件B。例如:每个像素单元A中包括1个红色发光器件R、2个绿色发光器件G和1个蓝色发光器件B。当然,每个像素单元中的红色发光器件R、绿色发光器件G和蓝色发光器件B的数量也可以均为1个。图3为图2所示的蓝色发光器件沿D-D方向的剖面结构示意图。如图3所示,调节部32设置在基底31上,缓冲层33设置在调节部32背离基底31的一侧,蓝色发光器件的阳极34设置在缓冲层33背离基底31的一侧,并且蓝色发光器件的阳极34在基底31上的正投影覆盖调节部32在基底上的正投影。
需要说明的是,红色发光器件R包括但不限于有机电致发光器件OLED,绿色发光器件G包括但不限于有机电致发光器件OLED,蓝色发光器件B包括但不限于有机电致发光器件OLED,本实施例中以红色发光器件R、绿色发光器件G和蓝色发光器件B均为OLED为例说明。
在本实施例中,调节部32具有沿垂直于基底31方向的第一截面,第一截面包括顶边和底边以及第一侧边和第二侧边,其中,底边相较顶边更靠近基底31,且顶边在基底31上的正投影位于底边在基底31的正投影内,并且 第一侧边和第二侧边中的至少一者呈阶梯状。在该种情况下,以基底31为参考平面,形成在调节部32上的蓝色发光器件B的阳极不仅包括具有平坦的顶面(图3中P1所示的区域),而且还具有阶梯状的侧面(图3中P2所示的区域),通过设计阶梯状侧面的阶梯数量,以及各个阶梯的宽度和高度,对非垂直光的反射量进行调节,从而改善各个像素单元中的不同颜色发光器件的亮度比,进而提高显示效果。
需要说明的是,图3中是以调节部32的第一截面的两个侧边均呈阶梯状为例进行说明的。当然,只要调节部32的中的至少一个侧边呈阶梯状即在本公开的保护范围内。
在一些实施例中,如图3所示,调节部32的第一截面的第一侧边和第二侧边以贯穿顶边和底边中点的直线为对称轴呈对称设置,并且第一侧边和第二侧边均呈阶梯状,且形貌相同。在本公开实施例中,通过将调节部32的第一侧边和第二侧边以贯穿顶边和底边中点的直线为对称轴呈对称设置,保证了调节部32侧面各个位置所反射的出光量均一,从而保证了显示的均一性。
在一些实施例中,图4为本公开实施例提供的另一种阵列基板的结构示意图,如图4所示,该阵列基板包括设置在基底(图中未示出)上的多个呈阵列排布的像素单元A,每个像素单元均包括绿色发光器件G、红色发光器件R和蓝色发光器件B。例如:每个像素单元A中包括1个红色发光器件R、2个绿色发光器件G和1个蓝色发光器件B。当然,每个像素单元中的红色发光器件R、绿色发光器件G和蓝色发光器件B的数量也可以均为1个。图5为图4所示的蓝色发光器件B沿D-D方向的剖面结构示意图。如图5所示,该阵列基板的任一蓝色发光器件B靠近基底51的一侧均设置有两个调节部,分别用第一调节部52和第二调节部52′表示,缓冲层53设置在第一调节部52和第二调节部52′背离基底的一侧;蓝色发光器件B的阳极54设置在缓 冲层53背离基底的一侧,并且蓝色发光器件B的阳极54在基底51上的正投影覆盖第一调节部52和第二调节部52′在基底51上的正投影。其中,第一调节部52和第二调节部52′间隔设置且结构相同,第一调节部52和第二调节部52′均具有沿垂直于基底51方向的第一截面,第一截面包括顶边和底边以及第一侧边和第二侧边,其中,底边相较顶边更靠近基底51,且顶边在基底51上的正投影位于底边在基底51的正投影内,第一侧边和第二侧边以贯穿顶边和底边中点的直线为对称轴呈对称设置,并且第一侧边和第二侧边均呈阶梯状。
在本实施例中,由于阵列基板中设置有调节部(52,52′),且调节部(52,52′)的第一截面的侧边呈阶梯状,因此蓝光发光器件B的阳极在调节部(52,52′)呈阶梯状的侧边处形成缓坡,从而增加了蓝光发光器件B的阳极反射出的非垂直方向的蓝光出光量,进而改善了与红绿光的视角特性匹配,解决了白光色偏的问题。另外,通过在蓝色发光器件B的阳极的下方设置多个间隔设置调节部(52,52′),可以有效增加阳极坡面区域P2的面积占比,因此可实现更为精细地白光色偏调节。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例是以蓝色发光器件B下设置两个调节部(52,52′)为例进行说明,可以理解的是,还可以根据具体情况在蓝色发光器件B下设置多个调节部以改善色偏,例如,可以在蓝色发光器件B下设置三个或者四个调节部。当蓝色发光器件B下设置多个调节部时,各个调节部之间的间距相同,且各个调节部的尺寸和形状相同,以保证显示的均一性。
还要说明的是,上述各实施例是以蓝色发光器件B下方设置一个或者多个调节部为例进行说明的,当然,本领域技术人员还可以根据需要有将一个或者多个调节部设置在任意颜色的OLED的阳极下方,将一个或者多个调节部设置在任意颜色的OLED的阳极下方均在本公开的保护范围之内。
示例的,例如可以在同时在蓝色发光器件B和红色发光器件R下方设 置一个或者多个调节部,通过设计蓝色发光器件B和红色发光器件R下方调节部的阶梯状侧面的阶梯数量,以及各个阶梯的宽度和高度,对非垂直光的反射量进行调节,从而改善绿红蓝三种发光器件的亮度比,进而提高显示效果。
在一些实施例中,阵列基板的调节部包括沿背离基底方向依次叠层设置的多个子调节结构,且各子调节结构的面积沿背离基底方向依次减小,因此可通过子调节结构沿背离基底方向依次叠层设置形成侧边呈阶梯状的调节部,进而可使生成在调节部上的发光器件的阳极在调节部呈阶梯状的两个侧边处形成缓坡。
示例的,图6为图2所示的另一种蓝色发光器件B沿D-D方向的剖面结构示意图。如图6所示,调节部62包括第一子调节结构621和第二子调节结构622,其中,第一子调节结构621设置在基底61上,第二子调节结构622设置在第一子调节结构621背离基底61的一侧,并且第一子调节结构621的面积大于所述第二子调节结构622的面积,以实现调节部62的第一截面的至少一个侧边呈阶梯状。调节部62背离基底61的一侧设置有缓冲层63,缓冲层63背离基底61的一侧设置有蓝光发光器件B的阳极64。在本实施例中,第一子调节结构621和第二子调节结构622的材料均选用无机材料,在该种情况下,通过选用无机材料,可以将第一子调节结构621和第二子调节结构622的厚度做得很薄,进而减少了阵列基板的厚度。第一子调节结构621和第二子调节结构622的刻蚀图案可以通过设计曝光Mask进行细节优化,工艺为干刻或者湿刻。
例如:缓冲层63的材料选用有机材料,在该种情况下,通过选用无机材料制作,能够更容易控制缓冲层63的形状,便于使缓冲层63在侧边呈阶梯状的调节部62处形成缓坡,并且通过选用有机材料,可防止调节部上方处的缓冲层63发生断裂,防止了调节部62的尖端放电。缓冲层63的制作 的方法包括但不限于PECVD、涂胶、刻蚀等方式。本实施例中的阳极64的形状可通过调节第一子调节结构621、第二子调节结构622以及缓冲层63的厚度、宽度和边缘角度来实现,实现了阳极平坦区P1和阳极坡面区P2的范围调节。在本实施例中,通过使第一子调节结构621和第二子调节结构622形成侧边呈阶梯状的调节部62,实现了对非垂直光的反射量进行调节,改善各个像素单元中的不同颜色发光器件的亮度比,提高了显示效果。
需要说明的是,本实施例是以子调节结构的材料为无机材料、缓冲层的材料为有机材料为例进行说明的,当然,子调节结构和缓冲层的材料还可以为其他类型的材料,在此不再一一举例说明。
另外,本公开实施例是以调节部包含两个子调节结构为例进行说明的,当然,还可以根据情况设置更多个子调节结构形成调节部,此时,可以调节各层的子调节结构的面积和厚度,实现不同的非垂直出光量,在此也不再一一举例说明。
在一些实施例中,图7为本公开实施例提供的一种阵列基板的结构示意图,如图7所示,阵列基板划分为平坦区Q1和弯折区Q2,平坦区Q1和弯折区Q2内设置有多个发光器件,位于弯折区Q2的至少部分发光器件的阳极在基底上正投影覆盖至少一个调节部,即在弯折区Q2的任意的发光器件的阳极下方设置有侧边呈阶梯状的调节部。
示例的,例如,图7所示的阵列基板用于瀑布屏手机,阵列基板包括用于屏幕中间的平坦区Q1以及设置在屏幕边缘的弯折区Q2,在平坦区Q1和弯折区Q2内设置有多个发光器件,发光器件包括但不限于绿色发光器件、红色发光器件和蓝色发光器件。在本实施例中,可在弯折区Q2的蓝色发光器件的阳极下方设置有一个或多个侧边呈阶梯状的调节部,在平坦区内Q1不设置调节部。由于在弯折区Q2的蓝色发光器件的阳极下方设置一个或多个侧边呈阶梯状的调节部,在平坦区Q1内不设置调节部,因此,可在不改 变屏幕正面显示区域的情况下,可使弯折区Q2中蓝色发光器件阳极反射的非垂直方向出光量增加,进而改善了弯折区Q2内不同颜色发光器件的亮度比,提高了显示效果。
第二方面,本公开实施例提供一种显示装置,该显示装置包括如上述任一实施例提供的阵列基板。该显示装置可以为含有瀑布屏、折叠屏等的手机、平板电脑、电子手表、运动手环、笔记本电脑等具有显示面板的电子设备。该显示装置具有的技术效果可参考上述对阵列基板的技术效果的论述,在此不再赘述。
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方式,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。
