为了说明本申请所提供的技术方案,以下结合具体附图及实施例进行详细说明。
本申请实施例提供一种驱动电路的制造方法,可以应用于显示面板的驱动电路制造流程,具体可以在光罩覆盖于基板并进行曝光时实现,通过在光罩的像素控制线路图形设置多处隔断,减少曝光过程中在光罩上产生的静电,以降低光罩发生静电释放的概率,从而提高驱动电路制造的良品率,进而提高显示面板生产的良品率。
在应用中,显示面板可以是基于TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display,薄膜晶体管液晶显示器)技术的液晶显示面板、基于LCD(Liquid Crystal Display,液晶显示器)技术的液晶显示面板、基于OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)技术的有机电激光显示面板、基于QLED(Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes,量子点发光二极管)技术的量子点发光二极管显示面板或曲面显示面板等。
实施例一
如图1所示,本申请实施例一示例性的示出了光罩100的第一种结构示意图;其中,光罩100包括像素控制线路图形101,所述像素控制线路图形101设置有多处隔断102,以释放曝光时在所述像素控制线路图形101产生的静电,相邻的两个像素控制线路图形101之间的隔断102的长度为预设距离。
在应用中,光罩可以是金属光罩、玻璃光罩等不同类型的光罩。光罩上具有设计图形,设计图形可以根据实际需要进行设置,通过曝光机进行曝光可以将光罩上的设计图形映射在光刻胶上,光刻胶覆盖于导电层,导电层覆盖于基板,再经过显影、烘烤、蚀刻和剥膜等工序流程,可以得到和设计图形的形状一致的可导电线路或元器件。光罩的设计图形可以是镂空的,也可以是非镂空的,具体的,当光罩的设计图形为镂空的,光罩的剩余区域为非镂空的;当光罩的设计图形为非镂空的,光罩的剩余区域为镂空的。
在应用中,像素控制线路图形作为设计图形,当像素控制线路图形为镂空的,隔断和非设计图形为非镂空的;当像素控制线路图形为非镂空的,隔断和非设计图形为镂空的。由于当光罩的像素控制线路图形进行曝光时,现有的像素控制线路图形容易产生或吸附静电,并且由于现有的像素控制线路图形包括完整的线路图形且不具有隔断,长度较长,使静电电荷容易在现有的像素控制线路图形上累积,当静电电荷达到一定数量会产生静电释放,导致形成的像素控制线路损坏,甚至损坏用于曝光的元器件。本实施例通过在像素控制线路图形设置隔断,可以有效的将像素控制线路图形上的静电电荷导出,以及避免静电电荷在像素控制线路图形上累积,降低发生静电释放的概率,使形成的像素控制线路为完整的像素控制线路,并降低用于曝光的元器件受损的风险。
实施例二
如图2所示,本申请实施例二提供的一种驱动电路制造方法,用于制造图1所对应的实施例一提供的光罩100,包括步骤S201至步骤S205:
步骤S201、将导电层覆盖于基板;
步骤S202、将光刻胶层覆盖于导电层;
步骤S203、将光罩覆盖于光刻胶层并进行曝光;其中,光罩包括像素控制线路图形,像素控制线路图形设置有多处隔断,以释放曝光时在像素控制线路图形产生的静电,相邻的两个像素控制线路图形之间的隔断的长度为预设距离;
步骤S204、对光刻胶层进行显影,去除光刻胶层中未被像素控制线路图形所覆盖的区域,以形成光刻胶区域;
步骤S205、对导电层进行蚀刻,去除导电层中未被光刻胶区域所覆盖的区域,以形成像素控制线路。
在应用中,将导电层覆盖于与基板、将光刻胶层覆盖于导电层、对光刻胶进行显影和对导电层进行蚀刻是制造驱动电路的现有工艺,在此不再赘述。区别在于,通过包括具有隔断的像素控制线路图形覆盖于光刻胶层进行曝光,可以释放曝光时在像素控制线路图形产生的静电,并且不会影响形成的像素控制线路的完整性,下面对本申请实施例的曝光工序和光罩进行详细介绍。
在应用中,通过将光罩覆盖于光刻胶层,并通过覆盖于光罩的曝光机进行曝光,可以在光刻胶层被像素控制线路图形覆盖的区域得到和像素控制线路图形一致的形状。其中,基板可以是玻璃基板(Glass Substrate),也可以是陶瓷基板(Ceramic Substrate),还可以是金属基板(Metal Base Printed Circuit Board,MBPCB),具体可以是导电膜玻璃基板(Indium Tin Oxide Glass Substrate),本申请实施例对基板的种类不作任何限制。
在应用中,由于曝光机解析精度的限制,当曝光机对光罩中长度小于解析精度的隔断进行曝光时,曝光机将无法解析该隔断,从而曝光后在光刻胶层上得到的线路是连续且不具有隔断的。预设距离表示小于曝光机解析精度的长度,当相邻的两个像素控制线路图形之间的隔断的长度位于预设距离时,曝光后在光刻胶层上像素控制线路图形所覆盖的区域是连续且不具有隔断的,在实际运用中,预设距离的取值可以根据曝光机的解析精度确定,具体的,预设距离的取值范围小于曝光机的最小解析精度,或者,预设距离的取值范围包含在曝光机无法解析的精度范围内,例如,当曝光机的最小解析精度为1微米时,预设距离的取值范围可以小于1微米的任意区间;或者当曝光机无法解析0.5微米至1微米长度的隔断时,预设距离的取值范围可以是0.5微米至1微米之间的任意开区间。本申请实施例对预设距离的取值范围不做任何限制。
在一个实施例中,步骤S205之后,包括:
对基板进行剥膜,以去除覆盖于基板的剩余光刻胶。
在应用中,在曝光、显影和蚀刻的工序之后,已经可以得到和设计图形一致的可导电线路或元器件,不过在显影和蚀刻的工序中,容易使被去除的光刻胶附着在基板上,通过剥膜液对基板进行剥膜,可以去除覆盖于基板的剩余光刻胶,以保证基板性能并可以回收剩余光刻胶。
图3示例性的示出了基板10、导电层20、光刻胶层30及光罩100在曝光机40下曝光时的场景示意图。
需要说明的是,图3的场景示意图为基板10、导电层20、光刻胶层30、光罩100及曝光机40的正视图,图1及其他附图中的光罩100的结构示意图为光罩100的俯视图。

第二颜色像素控制线路图形104,用于覆盖于光刻胶层进行曝光,并对所述光刻胶层进行显影和对导电层进行蚀刻之后,形成第二颜色像素控制线路;
第三颜色像素控制线路图形105,用于覆盖于光刻胶层进行曝光,并对所述光刻胶层进行显影和对导电层进行蚀刻之后,形成第三颜色像素控制线路。
在应用中,第一颜色像素控制线路图形、第二颜色像素控制线路图形和第三颜色像素控制线路图形和图中的像素控制线路图形设置隔断的方式一致,在此不再赘述。区别在于,第一颜色像素控制线路图形、第二颜色像素控制线路图形和第三颜色像素控制线路图形上的隔断的长度可以为预设线路距离,使第一颜色像素控制线路、第二颜色像素控制线路和第三颜色像素控制线路之间可以留有更多空间进行导线的连接,便于驱动电路进行布线,预设线路距离可以根据实际需要进行设置。
实施例四
如图5所示,基于图2所对应的实施例二提供的制造方法,本申请实施例四提供的制造方法,用于制造图4所对应的实施例三提供的光罩100,步骤S204包括步骤S501至步骤S503,步骤S205包括步骤S504至步骤S506:
步骤S501、对光刻胶层进行显影,去除光刻胶层中未被第一像素控制线路图形所覆盖的区域,以形成第一子光刻胶区域;
步骤S502、对光刻胶层进行显影,去除光刻胶层中未被第二像素控制线路图形所覆盖的区域,以形成第二子光刻胶区域;
步骤S503、对光刻胶层进行显影,去除光刻胶层中未被第三像素控制线路图形所覆盖的区域,以形成第三子光刻胶区域。
步骤S504、对导电层进行蚀刻,去除导电层中未被第一子光刻胶区域所覆盖的区域,以形成第一像素控制线路;

在应用中,光罩的像素控制线路图形可以包括第一颜色像素控制线路图形、第二颜色像素控制线路图形和第三颜色像素控制线路图形三种颜色的像素控制线路图形,对第一颜色像素控制线路图形、第二颜色像素控制线路图形和第三颜色像素控制线路图形的曝光、显影和蚀刻方法和上述步骤S203至步骤S205的曝光、显影和蚀刻方法相同,在此不再赘述。区别在于,步骤S203至步骤S205用于对光罩的一种像素控制线路图形进行曝光、显影和蚀刻,当光罩包括上述三种颜色的像素控制线路图形时,可以同时对上述三种颜色的像素控制线路图形进行曝光、显影和蚀刻。
在应用中,第一颜色像素控制线路图形、第二颜色像素控制线路图形和第三颜色像素控制线路图形设置隔断的方式,和上述像素控制线路图形设置隔断的方式一致,在此不再赘述。
实施例五
如图6所示,本申请实施例五示例性的示出了光罩100的第三种结构示意图;其中光罩100还包括:
开关模块图形106,用于覆盖于光刻胶层并进行曝光,以在显影和蚀刻后形成开关模块。
在应用中,开关模块图形可以包括多个开关图形,开关图形可以是在电路中起开关作用的晶体管的图形,起开关作用的晶体管可以是NPN型三极管(NPN Type Triode),也可以是PNP型三极管(PNP Type Triode),具体的,可以是薄膜场效应晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)。
在一个实施例中,光罩还包括:
导线图形107,用于覆盖于光刻胶层并进行曝光,以在显影和蚀刻后形成像素控制线路的导线。
在应用中,光罩可以包括多个导线图形,导线图形和开关图形一一对应,一个导线图形可以连接一个开关图形和一个像素控制线路图形;具体的,一个导线图形可以连接一个开关图形和一个第一颜色像素控制线路图形,也可以连接一个开关图形和一个第二颜色像素控制线路图形,还可以连接一个开关图形和一个第三颜色像素控制线路图形。
实施例六
如图7所示,基于图5所对应的实施例四提供的制造方法,本申请实施例六提供的制造方法,用于制造图6所对应的实施例五提供的光罩100,步骤S204包括步骤S701,步骤S205包括步骤S702:
S701、对光刻胶层进行显影,去除光刻胶层中未被开关模块图形所覆盖的区域,以形成第四子光刻胶区域;
S702、对导电层进行蚀刻,去除导电层中未被第四子光刻胶区域所覆盖的区域,以形成开关模块。
在应用中,开关模块图形可以包括多个开关图形,由于开关图形可以是在电路中起开关作用的晶体管的图形,当开关图形为三极管图形时,三极管图形的源极和漏极之间距离过近,导致进行曝光时三极管图形的源极和漏极之间容易累积静电电荷并导致静电释放。
在应用中,步骤S701和步骤S702可以在步骤S504至步骤S506之后执行,也可以在步骤S501至步骤S503之前执行,本申请实施例对步骤S701和步骤S702的执行顺序不做任何限制。
在一个实施例中,步骤S701还包括:
对光刻胶层进行显影,去除光刻胶层中未被导线图形所覆盖的区域,以形成第五子光刻胶区域。
步骤S702还包括:
对导电层进行蚀刻,去除导电层中未被第五子光刻胶区域所覆盖的区域,以形成像素控制线路的导线。
在应用中,像素控制线路具体可以是第一像素控制线路、第二像素控制线路及第三像素控制线路。
在应用中,由于在光罩中,开关模块图形通过导线图形与像素控制线路图形连接,容易导致导线图形和像素控制线路图形一起发生静电释放。通过在像素控制线路图形设置多处隔断,可以将开关图形上的静电电荷导出,以及避免静电电荷在像素控制线路图形上累积,降低发生静电释放的概率,使曝光得到的像素控制线路和像素控制线路图形一致,并降低用于曝光的元器件受损的风险。
本申请实施例的提供的驱动电路的制造方法,通过将导电层覆盖于基板;将光刻胶层覆盖于导电层;将光罩覆盖于光刻胶层并进行曝光;其中,光罩包括像素控制线路图形,像素控制线路图形设置有多处隔断,相邻的两个像素控制线路图形之间的隔断的长度为预设距离,以释放曝光时在像素控制线路图形产生的静电;对光刻胶层进行显影,去除光刻胶层中未被像素控制线路图形所覆盖的区域,以形成光刻胶区域;对导电层进行蚀刻,去除导电层中未被光刻胶区域所覆盖的区域,以形成像素控制线路,可以有效的将像素控制线路图形上的静电电荷导出,以及避免静电电荷在像素控制线路图形上累积,降低发生静电释放的概率,从而降低用于曝光的元器件受损的风险,并可以保证形成的像素控制线路的完整性,使驱动电路可以正常运行。
应理解,上述实施例中各步骤的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本申请实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
