具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
可以理解的是,本公开实施例中的各个附图仅仅用于示意性示出各个部件之间的连接关系,附图中各个部件的尺寸并不是按照比例进行绘制的,并且它们的相对位置关系也不一定与实际位置完全对应。在附图中,为了清晰起见,可能夸大了某些区域和层的比例。
随着显示技术的不断发展,为了使用户获得更佳的视觉体验,对显示装置的屏占比提出了更高的要求,这就要求显示装置具有较窄的边框。显示装置的基板的两侧边缘(例如当用户面向显示装置时显示装置的左侧边缘和右侧边缘)附近通常布置有信号线。在相关技术中,为了实现窄边框,通常将基板两侧边缘附近的信号线设计成具有较窄的宽度。但是,宽度较小的信号线会使得信号线具有较大的电阻以及较大的电压降,从而会影响显示装置的发光效率,并且使得显示装置的中心区域和两侧边缘区域的发光亮度不均匀。为了解决因信号线宽度窄而导致的电阻大和电压降大,通常会通过增加信号线厚度的方式来降低信号线的电阻和电压降,但是这大大增加了信号线的材料用量以及工艺制程,从而增加了生产成本,降低了生产效率。
为了解决相关技术中存在的技术问题,本公开的实施例提供了一种发光基板,图1示出了该发光基板100的布置示意图。需要注意的是,为了清楚地示出第一信号线103(以及第二信号线104)的布置,图1省略了发光基板100的其他部件。如图1所示,该发光基板100包括发光区101和围绕发光区101的周边区102。周边区102包括第一区域1021,该第一区域1021位于发光基板100的第一侧边001和发光区101之间。发光基板100还包括第一信号线103,第一信号线103包括第一部分1031和/或第二部分1032,第一信号线103的第一部分1031在第一区域1021内沿第一方向D1延伸,第一信号线103的第二部分1032延伸至发光区101内,当第一信号线103包括第一部分1031和第二部分1032时,第一信号线103的第一部分1031与第二部分1032连接。
需要说明的是,虽然图1示出了第一信号线103包括第一部分1031和第二部分1032,但是如“第一信号线103包括第一部分1031和/或第二部分1032”所表述的,第一信号线103可以仅包括第一部分1031,或者仅包括第二部分1032,或者包括第一部分1031和第二部分1032两者。
第一信号线103的第一部分1031位于发光基板100的第一侧边001和发光区101之间,换句话说,第一信号线103的第一部分1031位于发光基板100的边框区域,即图1中的发光基板100的左侧边框区域。第一信号线103可以是各种适当类型的信号线,例如传输电压的信号 线、传输驱动数据的信号线、连接两个部件或多个部件的走线等,本公开实施例对第一信号线103的类型不做具体限定。
当第一信号线103包括第一部分1031和第二部分1032时,通过使第一信号线103的第一部分1031位于周边区102的第一区域1021内,而与第一信号线103的第一部分1031连接的第二部分1032延伸至发光区101内,可以将第一信号线103的第一部分1031设计成在第二方向D2上具有较窄的宽度,从而有利于缩减第一区域1021沿第二方向D2的宽度,即有利于减少发光基板100的左侧边框的宽度。由于与第一部分1031连接的第二部分1032延伸至发光区101内,相当于将第一信号线103沿第二方向D2的宽度“分成”了两部分,一部分宽度位于周边区102的第一区域1021内(即第一信号线103的第一部分1031的宽度),一部分宽度位于发光区101内(即第一信号线103的第二部分1032的宽度),这样,即使减少第一信号线103的第一部分1031的宽度,由于第二部分1032的存在,也不会增加第一信号线103的电阻以及电压降,从而不会影响发光基板100的发光效率,并且使得发光基板100的中心区域和边缘区域具有均匀的发光亮度。另外,通过这种布置方式,无需增加第一信号线103的厚度,因此可以降低生产成本,提高生产效率。
如图1所示,周边区102还包括第二区域1022,第二区域1022位于发光基板100的与第一侧边001相对的第二侧边002和发光区101之间。可选地,发光基板100还可以包括第二信号线104,第二信号线104的第一部分1041在第二区域1022内沿第一方向D1延伸,第二信号线104的第二部分1042延伸至发光区101内,并且第二信号线104的第一部分1041与第二部分1042连接。
第二信号线104的第一部分1041位于发光基板100的第二侧边002和发光区101之间,换句话说,第二信号线104的第一部分1041位于发光基板100的边框区域,即图1中的发光基板100的右侧边框区域。与第一信号线103类似,第二信号线104可以是各种适当类型的信号线,例如传输电压的信号线、传输驱动数据的信号线、连接两个部件或多个部件的走线等,本公开实施例对第二信号线104的类型不做具体限定。
在一些实施例中,第一信号线103的第二部分1032包括沿第一方 向D1延伸的至少一个条状结构1034,第一信号线103的第一部分1031和第二部分1032通过第一信号线103的第三部分1033连接。第一信号线103的第一部分1031、第二部分1032以及第三部分1033使得第一信号线103呈现“梳子”形状。在一些实施例中,第二信号线104的第二部分1042包括沿第一方向D1延伸的至少一个条状结构1044,第二信号线104的第一部分1041和第二部分1042通过第二信号线104的第三部分1043连接。第二信号线104的第一部分1041、第二部分1042以及第三部分1043使得第二信号线104呈现“梳子”形状。当然,第一信号线103和第二信号线104的形状并不仅限于“梳子”形状,其还可以是任意适当的其他形状。例如,当第一信号线103的第二部分1032包括一个条状结构1034时,第一信号线103的形状为“U”形。当第二信号线104的第二部分1042包括一个条状结构1044时,第二信号线104的形状为“U”形。本公开的实施例对第一信号线103和第二信号线104的形状不作具体限定。
与第一信号线103类似,通过使第二信号线104的第一部分1041位于周边区102的第二区域1022内,而与第二信号线104的第一部分1041连接的第二部分1042延伸至发光区101内,可以将第二信号线104的第一部分1041设计成在第二方向D2上具有较窄的宽度,从而有利于减小第二区域1022沿第二方向D2的宽度,即有利于减小发光基板100的右侧边框的宽度。由于与第一部分1041连接的第二部分1042延伸至发光区101内,因此,即使减少第二信号线104的第一部分1041的宽度,由于第二部分1042的存在,也不会增加第二信号线104的电阻以及电压降,从而不会影响发光基板100的发光效率,并且使得发光基板100的中心区域和边缘区域具有均匀的发光亮度。另外,通过这种布置方式,无需增加第二信号线104的厚度,因此可以降低生产成本,提高生产效率。
第一信号线103和第二信号线104这样的布置方式,有利于减少第一区域1021和第二区域1022的宽度,从而有利于实现发光基板100的左侧窄边框和右侧窄边框。此外,现有的大尺寸发光基板通常由若干个小尺寸的发光基板拼接而成,如果发光基板具有较宽的边框,则在多个发光基板拼接时由于拼缝过大容易导致光学效果较差和各个机构无法匹配。相比之下,本申请的发光基板100具有较窄的边框,因 此当拼接多个发光基板100形成更大尺寸的发光基板时,多个发光基板100可以完美地拼接而不会在彼此之间产生过大的拼缝,从而可以改善大尺寸发光基板的光学效果以及各个机构的匹配性。
图2示出了发光基板100更为详细的布线方案。如图2所示,发光区101包括阵列布置的多个子发光区105,多个子发光区105沿第一方向D1布置成M行且沿与第一方向D1交叉的第二方向D2布置成N列,M和N均为大于等于1的正整数。第一方向D1可以是列方向,第二方向D2可以是行方向,第一方向D1和第二方向D2可以互相垂直。第一信号线103的第一部分1031布置在第1列子发光区与发光基板100的第一侧边001之间,也就是说,第一信号线103的第一部分1031位于周边区102的第一区域1021内,且在第1列子发光区的外侧。第一信号线103的第二部分1032的每一个条状结构1034布置在第1~X列子发光区中的相应一列内,其中1≤X<N。举例来说,当第一信号线103的第二部分1032包括一个条状结构1034时,此时,X=1,该一个条状结构1034布置在第1列子发光区内。当第一信号线103的第二部分1032包括两个条状结构1034时,此时,X=2,这两个条状结构1034分别布置在第1列子发光区内和第2列子发光区内。当第一信号线103的第二部分1032包括三个条状结构1034时,此时,X=3,这三个条状结构1034分别布置在第1列子发光区内、第2列子发光区内和第3列子发光区内。以此类推,当第一信号线103的第二部分1032包括X个条状结构1034时,X个条状结构1034分别布置在第1~X列子发光区内。如图所示,每个条状结构1034位于对应列子发光区内的最右侧,例如,第1列子发光区内的条状结构1034位于第1列子发光区内的最右侧。
第二信号线104的第二部分1042的每一个条状结构1044布置在第Y~N列子发光区中的相应一列内,第二信号线104的第一部分1041布置在第N列子发光区与发光基板100的第二侧边002之间,也就是说,第二信号线104的第一部分1041位于周边区102的第二区域1022内,且在第N列子发光区的外侧,其中1≤X<Y≤N。举例来说,当第二信号线104的第二部分1042包括一个条状结构1044时,此时,X=1,该一个条状结构1044布置在第N列子发光区内。当第二信号线104的第二部分1042包括两个条状结构1044时,此时,X=2,这两个 条状结构1044分别布置在第N列子发光区内和第N-1列子发光区内。当第二信号线104的第二部分1042包括三个条状结构1044时,此时,X=3,这三个条状结构1044分别布置在第N列子发光区内、第N-1列子发光区内和第N-2列子发光区内。以此类推,当第二信号线104的第二部分1042包括N-Y+1个条状结构1044时,N-Y+1个条状结构1044分别布置在第Y~N列子发光区内。如图所示,每个条状结构1044位于对应列子发光区内的最左侧,例如,第Y列子发光区内的条状结构1044位于第Y列子发光区内的最左侧。需要说明的是,Y与X的差值可以大于等于1。当Y-X=1时,此时第Y列子发光区紧随在第X列子发光区后面,即第X列子发光区与第Y列子发光区相邻。当Y-X>1时,此时第X列子发光区与第Y列子发光区之间相隔至少一列子发光区,即第X列子发光区与第Y列子发光区不相邻。
如图2所示,发光基板100还包括与第一信号线103位于同一层的第一导电部108。在本申请中,术语“A与B位于同一层”是指A与B位于同一膜层的表面之上且均与该表面直接接触。在一些实施例中,A与B由同一膜层通过采用同一工艺形成。在一些实施例中,A与B位于同一膜层的表面之上且均与该表面直接接触,并且A与B具有基本相同的高度或厚度。第一导电部108包括沿第一方向D1延伸的N-1条驱动电压信号线VLEDL,第2~N列子发光区中的每一列包括一条驱动电压信号线VLEDL。每个子发光区105包括至少一个发光单元106,在第2~N列子发光区中的每一列内,每条驱动电压信号线VLEDL与该列子发光区内的每个发光单元106的第一端连接,以在所需时段为发光单元106提供驱动电压。并且,第一信号线103的第一部分1031与第1列子发光区内的每个发光单元106的第一端连接。第一信号线103的第一部分1031沿第二方向D2的宽度小于每条驱动电压信号线VLEDL沿第二方向D2的宽度。事实上,可以理解为,在制备过程中,通过对导电层进行构图同时形成第一信号线103和多条驱动电压信号线VLEDL,第一信号线103的第一部分1031相当于对应第1列子发光区的驱动电压信号线VLEDL,以在所需时段为第1列子发光区内的发光单元106提供驱动电压。
第一信号线103的第一部分1031沿第二方向D2的宽度小于每条驱动电压信号线VLEDL沿第二方向D2的宽度,也即,位于发光基板 100的左侧边框区域(即第一区域1021,其为第1列子发光区内的发光单元106的中心至发光基板100的第一侧边001的距离)内的驱动电压信号线VLEDL(即第一信号线103的第一部分1031)的线宽小于位于发光区101内的驱动电压信号线VLEDL的线宽,从而有利于减少发光基板100的左侧边框的宽度,有利于实现窄边框。为了满足电阻和压降需求,驱动电压信号线VLEDL沿第二方向D2的宽度一般在2~15mm,例如在一个示例中为4.0mm。但是发光基板100的左侧边框区域沿第二方向D2的宽度要求在3.8mm以内,如果将线宽为4.0mm的驱动电压信号线VLEDL布置在左侧边框区域,则无法满足产品的窄边框需求。在本申请中,通过使第一信号线103的第一部分1031沿第二方向D2的宽度小于驱动电压信号线VLEDL沿第二方向D2的宽度,例如第一信号线103的第一部分1031沿第二方向D2的宽度可以实现为0.05~0.5mm,可以大大减小发光基板100的左侧边框区域的宽度,完全可以满足产品的窄边框需求。如果需要将这样的发光基板100进行拼接形成大尺寸的发光基板,具有极窄边框的发光基板100也可以完全满足拼接需求,不会影响光学和机构匹配。而且由于第一信号线103的第二部分1032的存在,相当于将第一信号线103的一部分宽度延伸至发光区101内,因此,即使将第一信号线103的第一部分1031的线宽减少至0.05~0.5mm,也可以满足对第一信号线103的电阻和压降需求,不会影响发光基板100的发光效率和发光均匀性。
继续参考图2,第一导电部108还可以包括沿第一方向D1延伸的N-1条公共电压信号线GNDL,且第一导电部108与第二信号线104位于同一层,也即,第一信号线103、第二信号线104以及第一导电部108位于同一层。第1~N-1列子发光区中的每一列包括一条公共电压信号线GNDL,每个子发光区105还包括与至少一个发光单元106的第二端连接的驱动电路107。在第1~N-1列子发光区中的每一列内,每条公共电压信号线GNDL与该列子发光区内的每个驱动电路107连接,以在所需时段提供公共电压(例如接地电压)。第二信号线104的第一部分1041与第N列子发光区内的每个驱动电路107连接。第二信号线104的第一部分1041沿第二方向D2的宽度小于每条公共电压信号线GNDL沿第二方向D2的宽度。事实上,可以理解为,在制备过程中,通过对导电层进行构图同时形成第一信号线103、第二信号线104、驱 动电压信号线VLEDL和公共电压信号线GNDL,第二信号线104的第一部分1041相当于对应第N列子发光区的公共电压信号线GNDL,以在所需时段提供公共电压。
第二信号线104的第一部分1041沿第二方向D2的宽度小于每条公共电压信号线GNDL沿第二方向D2的宽度,也即,位于发光基板100的右侧边框区域(即第二区域1022,其为第N列子发光区内的发光单元106的中心至发光基板100的第二侧边002的距离)内的公共电压信号线GNDL(即第二信号线104的第一部分1041)的线宽小于位于发光区101内的公共电压信号线GNDL的线宽,从而有利于减少发光基板100的右侧边框的宽度,有利于实现窄边框。为了满足电阻和压降需求,公共电压信号线GNDL沿第二方向D2的宽度一般在2~15mm,例如在一个示例中为4.0mm。但是发光基板100的右侧边框区域沿第二方向D2的宽度要求在3.8mm以内,如果将线宽为4.0mm的公共电压信号线GNDL以及其他一些必要的信号走线布置在右侧边框区域,则无法满足产品的窄边框需求。在本申请中,通过使第二信号线104的第一部分1041沿第二方向D2的宽度小于公共电压信号线GNDL沿第二方向D2的宽度,例如第二信号线104的第一部分1041沿第二方向D2的宽度可以实现为0.05~0.5mm,这可以大大减小发光基板100的右侧边框区域的宽度,完全可以满足产品的窄边框需求。如果需要将这样的发光基板100进行拼接形成大尺寸的发光基板,具有极窄边框的发光基板100也可以完全满足拼接需求,不会影响光学和机构匹配。而且由于第二信号线104的第二部分1042的存在,相当于将第二信号线104的一部分宽度延伸至发光区101内,因此,即使将第二信号线104的第一部分1041的线宽减少至0.05~0.5mm,也可以满足对第二信号线104的电阻和压降需求,不会影响发光基板100的发光效率和发光均匀性。
通过使第一信号线103的第一部分1031和第二信号线104的第一部分1041具有非常窄的线宽,可以使发光基板100具有非常窄的左侧边框和右侧边框,这种极窄的左侧边框和右侧边框甚至可以被忽略从而使发光基板100实现为无边框产品。
如图2所示,在第2~N-1列子发光区中的每一列内,驱动电压信号线VLEDL、发光单元106、驱动电路107、以及公共电压信号线GNDL 沿着第二方向D2依次排列,且它们在发光基板100上的正投影彼此不交叠。第一导电部108还可以包括沿第一方向D1延伸的N条反馈信号线FBL,每列子发光区包括一条反馈信号线FBL。在每列子发光区内,各个驱动电路107依次级联,每条反馈信号线FBL与最后一级驱动电路107连接。在N列子发光区中的至少部分列内,每条反馈信号线FBL位于与该条反馈信号线FBL位于同一列子发光区内的公共电压信号线GNDL远离驱动电路107的一侧。在一个示例中,在第1~N-1列子发光区中的每一列内,每条反馈信号线FBL绕过公共电压信号线GNDL且位于公共电压信号线GNDL远离驱动电路107的一侧;在第N列子发光区内,反馈信号线FBL绕过与其相邻且在其右侧的信号线(例如电源信号线PwL)且位于该信号线远离驱动电路107的一侧。也就是说,在第1~N列子发光区内,所有的反馈信号线FBL都按照相同的方式进行布线,这样可简化布线工艺,提高生产效率。在另一个示例中,如图2所示,在第1~X列子发光区中的每一列内,也即在布置有第一信号线103的第二部分1032的条状结构1034的每一列内,每条反馈信号线FBL绕过公共电压信号线GNDL且位于公共电压信号线GNDL远离驱动电路107的一侧;在第Y~N列子发光区中的每一列内,也即在布置有第二信号线104的第二部分1042的条状结构1044的每一列内,反馈信号线FBL绕过驱动电压信号线VLEDL且位于驱动电压信号线VLEDL远离驱动电路107的一侧。通过这种布置方式,可以避免第N列子发光区内的反馈信号线FBL与第二信号线104的第一部分1041交叠。
图3示出了发光基板200的布置方式,图4示出了该发光基板200的驱动电路107的各个端子的布置方式。为了清楚起见,图3仅示出了四列子发光区,即第1列子发光区、第2列子发光区、第N-1列子发光区、以及第N列子发光区。在图3中示出的发光基板200具有与在图2中示出的发光基板100大体相同的构造,并且因此使用相同的附图标记来指代相同的部件。因此,图3中具有与图2相同附图标记的部件的详细作用及功能可以参考对图2的说明,此处不再赘述。
图3的左侧虚线框示出了一个子发光区105的放大图,如该放大图所示,发光基板200还包括第二导电部109,第二导电部109包括多个第一焊盘1091和多个第二焊盘1092,发光单元106安装在第一焊盘 1091上,驱动电路107安装在第二焊盘1092上。在图3的示例中,第一导电部108和第二导电部109位于同一层,在制备过程中,可以对同一导电层进行构图来同时形成第一导电部108和第二导电部109。
如图3和图4所示,每个驱动电路107包括四个端子,分别是地址端子Di、电源端子Pwr、公共电压端子GND、以及输出端子Out。输出端子Out和地址端子Di为驱动电路107的第一列端子,其位于驱动电路107的邻近驱动电压信号线VLEDL的一侧(第1列子发光区内的驱动电路107的第一列端子位于驱动电路107的邻近第一信号线103的第一部分1031的一侧);公共电压端子GND和电源端子Pwr为驱动电路107的第二列端子,其位于驱动电路107的邻近公共电压信号线GNDL的一侧(第N列子发光区内的驱动电路107的第二列端子位于驱动电路107的邻近第二信号线104的第一部分1041的一侧)。公共电压端子GND和输出端子Out位于多个端子中的第一行,地址端子Di和电源端子Pwr位于多个端子中的第二行。第一导电部108还包括沿第一方向D1延伸的N条选址信号线ADDRL,使得每列子发光区包括一条选址信号线ADDRL。在每列子发光区内,选址信号线ADDRL与第一级驱动电路107的地址端子Di连接。输出端子Out可以复用作驱动电路107的中继端子。选址信号线ADDRL配置为向每列子发光区内的第一级驱动电路107的地址端子Di传输地址信号,第一级驱动电路107接收该地址信号后,可以解析并获得、存储该地址信号中的地址信息以作为该第一级驱动电路107的地址信息,同时还可以使该地址信息递增1或递增另一固定量并将递增后的地址信息(新的地址信息)调制为中继信号,第一级驱动电路107的中继端子Out经由级联走线将该中继信号传输至第二级驱动电路107的地址端子Di,以作为第二级驱动电路107的地址信息。以此类推,最终可以为每列子发光区内的每个驱动电路107配置相应的地址信息。最后一级驱动电路107的输出端子Out连接到反馈信号线FBL。输出端子Out的一端连接至级联走线(最后一级驱动电路107的输出端子Out连接到反馈信号线FBL),输出端子Out的另一端连接至与该驱动电路107连接的一个发光单元106的第二端。输出端子Out可以在不同的时段分别输出不同的信号,例如,驱动电路107的输出端子Out在一个时段内输出中继信号以作为与该驱动电路107级联的下一级驱动电路107的地址信号, 在另一个时段内向与该驱动电路107连接的发光单元106提供驱动信号以使该发光单元106发光。
第一导电部108还包括沿第一方向D1延伸的N条电源信号线PwrL,每列子发光区包括一条电源信号线PwrL。在每列子发光区内,一条电源信号线PwrL与该列子发光区内的所有驱动电路107的电源端子Pwr连接,并且各个驱动电路107的第一列端子在发光基板200上的正投影与第二列端子在发光基板200上的正投影分别位于该条电源信号线PwrL在发光基板200上的正投影的两侧,也即,该条电源信号线PwrL布置在各个驱动电路107所占用的区域内,且不与各个驱动电路107的第一列端子和第二列端子交叠。通过使每列子发光区内的电源信号线PwrL布置在各个驱动电路107所占用的区域内,可以节省布线空间,并且避免该条电源信号线PwrL与其他信号线之间的交叠。
在图3的示例中,第一信号线103、驱动电压信号线VLEDL、选址信号线ADDRL、电源信号线PwrL、公共电压信号线GNDL、反馈信号线FBL、以及第二信号线104,这些信号线位于同一层,而且它们的投影在发光基板200上的正投影彼此不交叠。在一个示例中,这些信号线中任意相邻两条信号线之间的间距大于等于200um,从而可以避免信号线与信号线之间的信号干扰现象。
图5示出了发光基板300的布置方式,图6示出了该发光基板300的驱动电路107的各个端子的布置方式。为了清楚起见,图5仅示出了四列子发光区,即第1列子发光区、第2列子发光区、第N-1列子发光区、以及第N列子发光区。在图5中示出的发光基板300具有与在图3中示出的发光基板200基本相同的构造,并且因此使用相同的附图标记来指代相同的部件。因此,图5中具有与图3相同附图标记的部件的详细作用及功能可以参考对图3的说明,此处不再赘述。为了简洁起见,下面仅介绍图5中的发光基板300与图3中的发光基板200的不同之处。
参考图5和图6,与图3中的发光基板200不同的是,图5中的发光基板300的驱动电路107的端子的数量为多个,其中,输出端子Out的数量为多个,公共电压端子GND的数量为至少一个。图6示出了输出端子Out的数量为四个且公共电压端子GND的数量为两个,但这仅是一个示例。输出端子Out的数量可以多于四个或少于四个,公共电 压端子GND的数量可以多于两个或少于两个。在本公开的实施例中,输出端子Out的数量至少为两个,公共电压端子GND的数量至少为一个。此外,该驱动电路107还包括数据端子Data。如图5和图6所示,驱动电路107包括两列端子,第一列端子包括电源端子Vcc和四个输出端子Out1、Out2、Out3、Out4,第一列端子位于驱动电路107的邻近驱动电压信号线VLEDL的一侧(第1列子发光区内的驱动电路107的第一列端子位于驱动电路107的邻近第一信号线103的第一部分1031的一侧);第二列端子包括地址端子Di_in、中继端子Di_out、数据端子Data以及两个公共电压端子GND,第二列端子位于驱动电路107的邻近公共电压信号线GNDL的一侧(第N列子发光区内的驱动电路107的第二列端子位于驱动电路107的邻近第二信号线104的第一部分1041的一侧)。驱动电路107的多个端子布置成五行,地址端子Di_in位于多个端子中的第5行,中继端子Di_out位于多个端子中的第1行。虽然图6中示出电源端子Vcc位于第一列端子中的第3行,数据端子Data位于第2列端子中的第2行,但这仅是一个示例,本公开实施例并不限制电源端子Vcc在第一列端子中的具体位置以及数据端子Data在第2列端子中的具体位置。例如,电源端子Vcc可以位于第一列端子中的第1行~第5行中的任意一个,数据端子Data可以位于第二列端子中的第2行~第4行中的任意一个。
如图所示,驱动电路107的四个输出端子Out1、Out2、Out3、Out4与四个发光单元106的第二端一一对应连接,以为发光单元106提供驱动信号。在图5的示例中,驱动电路107的输出端子与中继端子是不同的端子。该驱动电路107配置为,在一个时段内通过中继端子Di_out输出中继信号以作为与该驱动电路107级联的下一级驱动电路107的地址信号,在另一个时段内通过四个输出端子Out1、Out2、Out3、Out4分别向四个发光单元106提供驱动信号。
如前所述,除了第一信号线103、驱动电压信号线VLEDL、选址信号线ADDRL、公共电压信号线GNDL、反馈信号线FBL以及第二信号线104之外,发光基板300的第一导电部108还包括沿第一方向D1延伸的N条电源信号线VccL和N条数据驱动信号线DataL,使得每列子发光区包括一条电源信号线VccL和一条数据驱动信号线DataL。在每列子发光区内,一条电源信号线VccL与该列子发光区内 的所有驱动电路107的电源端子Vcc连接,一条数据驱动信号线DataL与该列子发光区内的所有驱动电路107的数据端子Data连接。在每列子发光区内,各个驱动电路107的第一列端子在发光基板300上的正投影与第二列端子在发光基板300上的正投影分别位于电源信号线VccL和数据驱动信号线DataL在发光基板300上的正投影的两侧,也即,电源信号线VccL和数据驱动信号线DataL布置在各个驱动电路107所占用的区域内,且不与各个驱动电路107的第一列端子和第二列端子交叠。而且,在每列子发光区内,数据驱动信号线DataL在发光基板300上的正投影与电源信号线VccL在发光基板300上的正投影也不交叠。通过使每列子发光区内的数据驱动信号线DataL和电源信号线VccL布置在各个驱动电路107所占用的区域内,可以节省布线空间,并且避免数据驱动信号线DataL和电源信号线VccL与其他信号线之间的交叠。
发光基板300的第一导电部108和第二导电部109位于同一层。也即,第一信号线103、驱动电压信号线VLEDL、选址信号线ADDRL、电源信号线VccL、数据驱动信号线DataL、公共电压信号线GNDL、反馈信号线FBL、以及第二信号线104,这些信号线位于同一层,而且它们的投影在发光基板300上的正投影彼此不交叠。
除了需要将发光基板的左右侧边框设计成窄边框之外,还迫切需求缩窄发光基板的下侧边框的宽度。在相关技术中,如图7A所示,发光基板包括绑定电极110′。图7A中示出了四列子发光区,即第i列子发光区、第i+1列子发光区、第i+2列子发光区、第i+3列子发光区,并分别用虚线框示出了每列子发光区所占据的区域。每列子发光区包括发光单元106′、公共电压信号线GNDL′和驱动电压信号线VLEDL′,并且公共电压信号线GNDL′和驱动电压信号线VLEDL′均与绑定电极106′电连接。如图所示,第i列子发光区的公共电压信号线GNDL′的一部分延伸至相邻的第i+1列子发光区内并在第i+1列子发光区内与绑定电极106′电连接,第i+3列子发光区的驱动电压信号线VLEDL′的一部分延伸至相邻的第i+2列子发光区内并在第i+2列子发光区内与绑定电极106′电连接。由于第i列子发光区的公共电压信号线GNDL′和第i+3列子发光区的驱动电压信号线VLEDL′分别占据了绑定电极106′位于第i+1列子发光区内的部分和位于第i+2列子发光区内的部分,因此,第 i+1列子发光区内的公共电压信号线GNDL′和驱动电压信号线VLEDL′以及第i+2列子发光区内的公共电压信号线GNDL′和驱动电压信号线VLEDL′为了实现与绑定电极106′的电连接,这些信号线相比于第i列子发光区内和第i+3列子发光区内的信号线需要进一步朝向绑定电极106′的方向延伸(即朝向发光基板的下方延伸),从而与绑定电极106′电连接。这样,显著增大了发光基板的下边框(即最后一行(第M行)子发光区内的发光单元106′的中心至绑定电极110′的区域)的宽度T′,使得发光基板具有非常宽的下边框,无法满足窄边框的设计需求。
有鉴于此,本公开的实施例提供了一种解决方案,来减小发光基板的下边框的宽度,该方案可以适用于在前面任一个实施例中描述的发光基板,例如发光基板100、200、300。如图7B所示,发光基板还可以包括位于周边区102内的绑定电极110,绑定电极110包括有效端子1101和空置端子1102,第一信号线103的第一部分1031和第二部分1032、第二信号线104的第一部分1041和第二部分1042、以及第一导电部108的所有信号线均只与绑定电极110的有效端子1101电连接。第一信号线103的第一部分1031和第二部分1032的多个条状结构1034均连接到绑定电极110的有效端子1101,绑定电极110的有效端子1101为第一信号线103的第一部分1031和第二部分1032的多个条状结构1034提供相同的信号。第二信号线104的第一部分1041和第二部分1042的多个条状结构1044均连接到绑定电极110的有效端子1101,绑定电极110的有效端子1101为第二信号线104的第一部分1041和第二部分1042的多个条状结构1044提供相同的信号。第一信号线103接收的信号与第二信号线104接收的信号不同。第一导电部108的驱动电压信号线VLEDL、选址信号线ADDRL、电源信号线VccL、公共电压信号线GNDL、反馈信号线FBL以及可选地数据驱动信号线DataL均连接到绑定电极110的有效端子1101。
为了清楚起见,图7B仅示出了最后一行子发光区,即第M行子发光区,其示出了四列子发光区,第i列子发光区、第i+1列子发光区、第i+2列子发光区、第i+3列子发光区,并分别用虚线框示出了每列子发光区所占据的区域。这四列子发光区可以是N列子发光区中任意相邻的四列子发光区。需要说明的是,虽然图7B中示出了绑定电极110与相邻四列子发光区内的信号线相连,但这仅是一个示例。在替代的 示例中,绑定电极110可以与多于四列子发光区内的信号线或少于四列子发光区内的信号线相连,本公开的实施例对绑定电极110所连接的子发光区的列数不做具体限定。为了清楚起见,每列子发光区仅示出了发光单元106、公共电压信号线GNDL和驱动电压信号线VLEDL,省略了其他信号线。公共电压信号线GNDL包括第一连接部115,驱动电压信号线VLEDL包括第二连接部116,每条公共电压信号线GNDL通过其第一连接部115与绑定电极110的有效端子1101电连接,每条驱动电压信号线VLEDL通过其第二连接部116与绑定电极110的有效端子1101电连接。在第1~N-1列子发光区中的每一列内,公共电压信号线GNDL的第一连接部115仅位于该列子发光区内而不延伸至相邻列的子发光区内;在第2~N列子发光区中的每一列内,驱动电压信号线VLEDL的第二连接部116仅位于该列子发光区内而不延伸至相邻列的子发光区内。如图7B所示,第i列子发光区内的公共电压信号线GNDL的第一连接部115和驱动电压信号线VLEDL的第二连接部116完全位于第i列子发光区内而不会延伸至相邻的第i+1列子发光区内,并且在第i列子发光区内与绑定电极110的有效端子1101电连接;第i+1列子发光区内的公共电压信号线GNDL的第一连接部115和驱动电压信号线VLEDL的第二连接部116完全位于第i+1列子发光区内而不会延伸至相邻的第i列子发光区和第i+2列子发光区内,并且在第i+1列子发光区内与绑定电极110的有效端子1101电连接;第i+2列子发光区内的公共电压信号线GNDL的第一连接部115和驱动电压信号线VLEDL的第二连接部116完全位于第i+2列子发光区内而不会延伸至相邻的第i+1列子发光区和第i+3列子发光区内,并且在第i+2列子发光区内与绑定电极110的有效端子1101电连接;第i+3列子发光区内的公共电压信号线GNDL的第一连接部115和驱动电压信号线VLEDL的第二连接部116完全位于第i+3列子发光区内而不会延伸至相邻的第i+2列子发光区内,并且在第i+3列子发光区内与绑定电极110的有效端子1101电连接。由于第i列子发光区内的公共电压信号线GNDL和第i+3列子发光区内的驱动电压信号线VLEDL分别在自身所在列区域内与绑定电极110的有效端子1101电连接,因此,无需第i+1列子发光区内的公共电压信号线GNDL和驱动电压信号线VLEDL以及第i+2列子发光区内的公共电压信号线GNDL和驱动电压信号线 VLEDL进一步朝向绑定电极106的方向延伸。这样,大大减小了发光基板的下边框(即第M行子发光区内的发光单元106的中心至绑定电极110的区域)的宽度T,使得发光基板具有非常窄的下边框,从而可以满足窄边框的设计需求。在一个示例中,发光基板的下边框的宽度T为4.15mm,相较于相关技术中的下边框宽度T′为7.5mm,减小了3.35mm。
需要说明的是,图7B示出的技术方案可以与前面任一实施例中描述的第一信号线103和/或第二信号线104的设计相结合,以实现发光基板的左侧窄边框和/或右侧窄边框以及下方窄边框;也可以不与前面任一实施例中描述的第一信号线103和第二信号线104的设计相结合,即可以仅对发光基板的驱动电极110做出如图7B所示的设计,来单独实现发光基板的下方窄边框。
如图8所示,以上实施例提供的发光基板还可以包括衬底111、缓冲层112和第一绝缘层113。缓冲层112位于第一导电部108和第二导电部109所在的层与衬底111之间,第一绝缘层113位于第一导电部108和第二导电部109所在的层远离衬底111的一侧。衬底111可以为塑料基板、硅基板、陶瓷基板、玻璃基板、石英基板等任意适当的基板,本公开的实施例对衬底111的材料不作限制。缓冲层112可以用来减小在制备第一导电部108和第二导电部109时对衬底111造成的应力,从而可以避免衬底111发生弯曲变形;缓冲层112还可以避免衬底111中的杂质对第一导电部108和第二导电部109的导电性能的不利影响。缓冲层112可以是任意适当的材料,例如,可以是SiN。第一绝缘层113可以用来保护第一导电部108和第二导电部109以防其被环境中的水、氧等氧化腐蚀。第一绝缘层113的材料可以是有机材料、无机材料或者有机材料和无机材料的结合。第一绝缘层113可以是单个膜层,也可以包括多个膜层。可选地,发光基板还可以包括第二绝缘层114,第二绝缘层114位于第一绝缘层113远离衬底111的一侧。第二绝缘层114的材料可以是有机材料、无机材料或者有机材料和无机材料的结合。第二绝缘层114可以是单个膜层,也可以包括多个膜层。
位于同一层的第一导电部108和第二导电部109的材料可以是任意适当的导电材料,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。例如,第一导 电部108和第二导电部109的材料包括铜。在一个示例中,第一导电部108和第二导电部109可以是Cu和CuNi的叠层。叠层的靠近衬底111的一侧是Cu层,其厚度例如可以是2um,Cu是作为电信号传递通道的优选材料。叠层的远离衬底111的一侧是CuNi层,其厚度例如可以是0.6um,CuNi层可以用于保护Cu层,防止电阻率低的Cu层表面暴露而发生氧化。在另一个示例中,第一导电部108和第二导电部109例如为MoNb/Cu/MoNb的叠层,叠层中靠近衬底111的一侧为MoNb层,厚度大约在

左右,主要用于提高叠层与衬底111的粘附力;叠层的中间层为Cu层,Cu为电信号传递通道的优选材料;叠层中远离衬底111的一侧为MoNb层,厚度大约在
Figure PCTCN2021109826-appb-000002
左右,MoNb层可以用于保护中间Cu层,防止电阻率低的中间Cu层表面暴露而发生氧化。
图9作为示例示出了每个发光单元106的几种可选的布置方式。每个发光单元106包括彼此连接的多个发光元件,该多个发光元件的第一端与驱动电压信号线VLEDL电连接(第一列子发光区内的发光单元106的多个发光元件的第一端与第一信号线103的第一部分1031电连接),该多个发光元件的第二端与驱动电路107的输出端子Out电连接。图9(a)示出了每个发光单元106包括彼此串联的四个发光元件,该四个发光元件布置为1列*4行;图9(b)示出了每个发光单元106包括彼此串联的四个发光元件,该四个发光元件布置为2列*2行;图9(c)示出了每个发光单元106包括彼此串联的九个发光元件,该九个发光元件布置为3列*3行。当然,每个发光单元106中的多个发光元件并不限于上述布置方式,它们可以以任意适当的方式布置。在一个示例中,每个发光单元106中的多个发光元件可以彼此并联。在另一个示例中,每个发光单元106中的多个发光元件可以串联和并联结合。每个发光单元106包括的发光元件的数量可以根据实际需求而定,例如根据发光基板的尺寸和所需要的亮度而定。每个发光元件可以为有机发光二级管或无机发光二级管。在一些实施例中,每个发光元件可以为次毫米发光二极管(Mini LED)或微型发光二极管(Mirco LED)。次毫米发光二极管的尺寸例如在100微米~500微米的范围内;微型发光二极管的尺寸例如小于100微米。本公开的实施例对于发光单元106的发光元件的类型和尺寸不作限制。利用次毫米发光二极管或微型发光二极管来作为发光单元106的发光元件,可以实现高动态范围 (High-Dynamic Range,HDR)显示。当这种发光基板应用于显示装置中时,可以显著提升显示装置的对比度。
以上描述了发光基板100、发光基板200以及发光基板300如何实现左侧窄边框、右侧窄边框、以及下方窄边框,在发光基板200和发光基板300中,第一导电部108和第二导电部109位于同一层。下面,描述当第一导电部108和第二导电部109位于不同层时,发光基板如何实现窄边框。
图10示出了发光基板400,在图10中具有与图3相同附图标记的部件的详细作用及功能可以参考对图3的说明,此处不再赘述。为了简洁起见,下面仅介绍图10中的发光基板400与图3中的发光基板200的不同之处。
图10示出了N列子发光区,第一导电部108和第二导电部109位于不同层。第一导电部108包括驱动电压信号线VLEDL、选址信号线ADDRL、电源信号线PwrL、公共电压信号线GNDL、以及反馈信号线FBL,发光单元106和驱动电路107通过这些信号线连接至绑定区的绑定电极,从而接收相应的电信号。第二导电部109包括第一焊盘1091和第二焊盘1092,第一焊盘1091用于安装发光单元106,第二焊盘1092用于安装驱动电路107。第一导电部108位于发光基板400的衬底和第二导电部109之间,第二导电部109位于第一导电部108远离衬底的一侧。在衬底和第一导电部108之间通常会设置有缓冲层,可以用来减小在制备第一导电部108时对衬底造成的应力,从而可以避免衬底发生弯曲变形。第一导电部108和第二导电部109之间通常设置有第一绝缘层,第一导电部108通过第一绝缘层中的过孔与第二导电部109电连接。第一绝缘层可以是无机层或有机层或无机层和有机层的叠层。在第二导电部109远离第一导电部108的一侧上方通常设置有第二绝缘层,用来保护第一导电部108和第二导电部109,防止其被氧化腐蚀。第二绝缘层可以是无机层或有机层或无机层和有机层的叠层。
如图所示,在N列子发光区中的奇数列子发光区内(除了第一列子发光区之外),每列子发光区包括驱动电压信号线VLEDL、公共电压信号线GNDL、电源信号线PwrL、以及选址信号线ADDRL,并且沿着第二方向D2从左至右,按照驱动电压信号线VLEDL、公共电压信号线GNDL、电源信号线PwrL、以及选址信号线ADDRL的顺序依 次排列。在N列子发光区中的偶数列子发光区内,每列子发光区包括驱动电压信号线VLEDL、公共电压信号线GNDL、电源信号线PwrL、以及反馈信号线FBL,并且沿着第二方向D2从左至右,按照驱动电压信号线VLEDL、公共电压信号线GNDL、电源信号线PwrL、以及反馈信号线FBL的顺序依次排列。可以看出,在每列子发光区内,公共电压信号线GNDL布置在每列子发光区的中心区域而不是边缘区域,这可以使得公共电压信号线GNDL沿第二方向D2可以具有较大的宽度,从而可以在不增加公共电压信号线GNDL的厚度的情况下减小公共电压信号线GNDL上的电压降(例如减小至低于0.5V)。
相邻两列子发光区的驱动电路107串联连接,因此相邻两列子发光区可以共用一条选址信号线ADDRL和一条反馈信号线FBL。以相邻的第1列子发光区和第2列子发光区为例,选址信号线ADDRL与第1列子发光区内的第一级驱动电路107连接。第1列子发光区内的各个驱动电路107依次级联,并且第1列子发光区内的最后一级驱动电路107与第2列子发光区内的第一级驱动电路107连接,第2列子发光区内的各个驱动电路107也依次级联。因此,一条选址信号线ADDRL可以为第1列子发光区和第2列子发光区内的每个驱动电路107提供地址信息。一条反馈信号线FBL与第2列子发光区内的最后一级驱动电路107连接,以将第1列子发光区和第2列子发光区内的每个驱动电路107的信息反馈至外部电路(例如柔性电路板)。
如图所示,发光基板400还包括第一信号线103。第一信号线103的第一部分1031位于发光基板400的周边区102的第一区域1021内,进一步地,第一信号线103的第一部分1031布置在第1列子发光区与发光基板400的第一侧边001之间。第一信号线103的第二部分1032的每一个条状结构1034可以分别布置在第1~X列子发光区中的相应一列内,其中1≤X≤N。举例来说,当第一信号线103的第二部分1032包括一个条状结构1034时,此时,X=1,该一个条状结构1034布置在第1列子发光区内。当第一信号线103的第二部分1032包括三个条状结构1034时,此时,X=3,这三个条状结构1034分别布置在第1列子发光区内、第2列子发光区内和第3列子发光区内。当第一信号线103的第二部分1032包括N个条状结构1034时,N个条状结构1034分别布置在第1~N列子发光区内。如图所示,每个条状结构1034位于对应 列子发光区内的最右侧,例如,第1列子发光区内的条状结构1034位于第1列子发光区内的最右侧。
通过使第一信号线103的第一部分1031位于周边区102的第一区域1021内,而与第一信号线103的第一部分1031连接的第二部分1032延伸至发光区101内,可以将第一信号线103的第一部分1031设计成在第二方向D2上具有较窄的宽度,例如宽度为0.05~0.5mm,从而有利于缩减第一区域1021沿第二方向D2的宽度,即有利于缩窄发光基板400的左侧边框的宽度。由于与第一部分1031连接的第二部分1032延伸至发光区101内,因此,即使减少第一信号线103的第一部分1031的宽度,由于第二部分1032的存在,也不会增加第一信号线103的电阻以及电压降,从而不会影响发光基板400的发光效率,并且使得发光基板400的中心区域和边缘区域具有均匀的发光亮度。另外,通过这种布置方式,无需增加第一信号线103的厚度,因此可以降低生产成本,提高生产效率。
图11A-11C示出了减小发光基板500的左侧边框宽度和右侧边框宽度的另一种方案。发光基板500具有与发光基板400基本相同的结构,即第一导电部108和第二导电部109也位于不同层。
在图11A-11C示出的实施例中,第一信号线103仅包括第二部分1032而不包括第一部分1031。第二部分1032位于发光区101内。第一信号线103的第二部分1032包括沿第一方向D1延伸的N条子信号线,每列子发光区包括一条子信号线。需要说明的是,这里的第一信号线103的第二部分1032与前面实施例中描述的第一信号线103的第二部分1032所起的作用不同。在前面的实施例中,第二部分1032作为齿状结构,与第一部分1031和第三部分1033共同构成“梳状”结构,第二部分1032被用来拓宽第一部分1031的宽度。而在关于图11A-11C的实施例中,第一信号线103仅包括第二部分1032而不包括第一部分1031和第三部分1033,位于发光区101内的第二部分1032包括N条子信号线,每列子发光区包括一条子信号线。N条子信号线为彼此独立且彼此绝缘的信号线,其用来传输相应的电学信号。该子信号线可以是驱动电压信号线VLEDL、电源信号线PwrL、反馈信号线FBL。关于子信号线的具体类型,下文将有更详细的介绍。
如关于图10所描述的,相邻两列子发光区按照驱动电压信号线 VLEDL、公共电压信号线GNDL、电源信号线PwrL、选址信号线ADDRL、驱动电压信号线VLEDL、公共电压信号线GNDL、电源信号线PwrL、以及反馈信号线FBL的顺序从左至右依次排列。在每列子发光区内,驱动电压信号线VLEDL位于发光单元106的左侧。在奇数列子发光区内,电源信号线PwrL和选址信号线ADDRL位于发光单元106的右侧;在偶数列子发光区内,电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL位于发光单元106的右侧。如果N列子发光区均按照上述方式进行布线,则第1列子发光区内的发光单元106的中心至发光基板500的第一侧边001之间(即发光基板500的左侧边框区域)设置有较宽的驱动电压信号线VLEDL,第N列子发光区内的发光单元106的中心至发光基板500的第二侧边002之间(即发光基板500的右侧边框区域)设置有电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL,这不利于发光基板500实现窄边框,也无法满足基板拼接时对光学和机构匹配的规格要求。
在图11A-11C的示例中,如图11A所示,发光基板500的中心区域保持上述布线方案,即相邻两列子发光区按照驱动电压信号线VLEDL、公共电压信号线GNDL、电源信号线PwrL、选址信号线ADDRL、驱动电压信号线VLEDL、公共电压信号线GNDL、电源信号线PwrL、以及反馈信号线FBL的顺序从左至右依次排列。发光基板500的中心区域可以是指发光基板500第j~k列子发光区所占据的区域,例如3≤j<k≤N-2。
子信号线可以指驱动电压信号线VLEDL。在第2~N列子发光区内,驱动电压信号线VLEDL位于每列子发光区内的发光单元106的靠近发光基板500的第一侧边001的一侧。而在第1列子发光区内,驱动电压信号线VLEDL位于该列子发光区内的发光单元106的发光元件E1和E2远离发光基板500的第一侧边001的一侧。如图11B所示,在发光基板500的左侧区域,将第1列子发光区内的驱动电压信号线VLEDL布置在发光单元106的最靠近发光基板500的第一侧边001的发光元件E1和E2的右侧,也即第1列子发光区内的驱动电压信号线VLEDL位于该列子发光区内的发光元件E1和E2远离周边区的一侧,并且调整电源信号线PwrL的位置使其位于驱动电压信号线VLEDL和公共电压信号线GNDL之间。这样,相比于相关技术中对应第1列子发光区的驱动电压信号线VLEDL位于发光基板的左侧边框区域(即位于周边 区),本公开实施例中的第1列子发光区内的驱动电压信号线VLEDL从周边区调整到发光区内,而使第1列子发光区内的发光单元106朝向发光基板500的第一侧边001移动,这样使得第1列子发光区内的发光单元106更为靠近发光基板500的第一侧边001,减小了第1列子发光区内的发光单元106的中心至发光基板500的第一侧边001之间的距离,从而减小了发光基板500的左侧边框宽度。
子信号线也可以指电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL。在1~N-1列子发光区中的需要设置电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL的列(例如偶数列子发光区)内,电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL位于发光单元106的靠近发光基板500的第二侧边002的一侧。而在第N列子发光区内,电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL位于该列子发光区内的发光单元106的发光元件E3和E4远离发光基板500的第二侧边002的一侧。如图11C所示,在发光基板500的右侧区域,将第N列子发光区内的电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL布置在发光单元106的最靠近发光基板500的第二侧边002的发光元件E3和E4的左侧。这样,相比于相关技术中对应第N列子发光区的电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL位于发光基板的右侧边框区域(即位于周边区),本公开实施例中的第N列子发光区内的电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL从周边区调整到发光区内,使得第N列子发光区内的发光单元106朝向发光基板500的第二侧边002移动,这样使得第N列子发光区内的发光单元106更为靠近发光基板500的第二侧边002,从而减小了第N列子发光区内的发光单元106的中心至发光基板500的第二侧边002之间的距离,减小了发光基板500的右侧边框宽度。
通过优化发光基板500的第1列子发光区内的驱动电压信号线VLEDL和电源信号线PwrL的布线方式,以及优化第N列子发光区内的电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL的布线方式,可以减小发光基板500的左侧边框宽度和右侧边框宽度,使得发光基板500实现为窄边框,并且可以满足基板拼接时对光学和机构匹配的规格要求。
需要说明的是,虽然发光基板500的第1列子发光区内的某些信号线(驱动电压信号线VLEDL和电源信号线PwrL)调整了位置,且发光基板500的第N列子发光区内的某些信号线(电源信号线PwrL和反馈信号线FBL)调整了位置,而发光基板500的中心区域的多列 子发光区内的信号线没有调整位置,但是可以通过相应的技术手段(比如调整各条信号线之间的线间距)来保持发光基板500的各列子发光区之间具有基本相同的间距。
图10中的发光基板400和图11A-11C中的发光基板500也可以采用如前所述的驱动电极110,使得所有信号线均连接至驱动电极110的有效端子1101,从而减小发光基板400和发光基板500的下方边框。具体的布置方式可参考前面关于图7B的描述,为了简洁起见,此处不再赘述。
图11B和图11C中还示出了屏蔽环GND ESD Ring,屏蔽环GND ESD Ring至少部分地围绕发光区101的外围,以提供静电屏蔽。虽然未示出,发光基板100、发光基板200、发光基板300、发光基板400也可以包括屏蔽环GND ESD Ring。屏蔽环GND ESD Ring连接至柔性电路板110的有效端子1101,柔性电路板110为公共电压信号线GNDL和屏蔽环GND ESD Ring提供相同的信号。
根据本公开的另一方面,提供了一种背光源,图12示出了背光源600的框图,该背光源600包括在前面任一个实施例中描述的发光基板。该背光源600可以作为显示装置中的背光源,为显示装置中的显示面板提供显示光源。当然,背光源600也可以用于任何其他需要光源的设备,本公开的实施例对背光源600的用途不做具体限定。
由于背光源600可以与前面各个实施例描述的发光基板具有基本相同的技术效果,因此,出于简洁的目的,此处不再重复描述背光源600的技术效果。
根据本公开的又一方面,提供了一种显示装置,图13示出了显示装置700的框图,该显示装置700包括在前面任一个实施例中描述的发光基板。在一些实施例中,该显示装置700可以为液晶显示装置,其包括液晶面板和设置在该液晶面板的非显示侧的背光源,背光源包括在前面任一个实施例中描述的发光基板,例如可以用于实现HDR调光以用于显示操作。该液晶显示装置可以具有更均匀的背光亮度,具有更好的显示对比度。显示装置700可以为任意适当的显示装置,包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪、电子书等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
由于显示装置700可以与前面各个实施例描述的发光基板具有基 本相同的技术效果,因此,出于简洁的目的,此处不再重复描述显示装置700的技术效果。
根据本公开的再一方面,提供了一种制造发光基板的方法,该方法可以适用于前面描述的发光基板200和发光基板300,即第一导电部108和第二导电部109位于同一层。该方法可以包括以下步骤。
首先,提供衬底111。衬底111可以为塑料基板、硅基板、陶瓷基板、玻璃基板、石英基板等任意适当的基板,本公开的实施例对衬底111的材料不作限制。
然后,在衬底111上例如通过磁控溅射方法形成缓冲层112。缓冲层112可以用来减小在后续制备第一导电部108和第二导电部109时对衬底111造成的应力,从而可以避免衬底111发生弯曲变形;缓冲层112还可以避免衬底111中的杂质对后续形成的第一导电部108和第二导电部109的导电性能的不利影响。缓冲层112可以是任意适当的材料,例如,可以是SiN。
接着,在缓冲层112上通过磁控溅射方法或电镀方法形成导电层,通过对导电层进行构图以同时形成第一导电部108、第二导电部109、第一信号线103以及第二信号线104。第一导电部108可以包括如上所述的驱动电压信号线VLEDL、选址信号线ADDRL、级联走线、电源信号线VccL、数据驱动信号线DataL、公共电压信号线GNDL、反馈信号线FBL以及可选的屏蔽环GND ESD Ring。第二导电部109包括第一焊盘1091和第二焊盘1092,第一焊盘1091用于安装发光单元106,第二焊盘1092用于安装驱动电路107。第一信号线103包括第一部分1031、第二部分1032以及第三部分1033。第二信号线104包括第一部分1041、第二部分1042以及第三部分1043。由于单次磁控溅射的厚度一般不超过1μm,因此在制作超过1μm的导电层时,通常需要多次溅射来形成。在一个示例中,第一导电部108、第二导电部109、第一信号线103以及第二信号线104可以通过如下工艺来形成:首先在缓冲层112上形成厚度例如为2um的Cu层,以用来传递各种电信号;然后在Cu层上形成厚度例如为0.6um的CuNi层,该CuNi层可以用于保护Cu层,防止电阻率低的Cu层表面暴露而发生氧化。在另一个示例中,第一导电部108、第二导电部109、第一信号线103以及第二信号线104可以通过如下工艺来形成:首先在缓冲层112上形成厚度大 约为
Figure PCTCN2021109826-appb-000003
的MoNb层,该MoNb层用来提高膜层与衬底111的粘附力;然后在MoNb层上形成Cu层,以用来传递各种电信号;最后在Cu层上形成厚度大约为

的MoNb层,以保护中间的Cu层,防止电阻率低的中间Cu层表面暴露而发生氧化。在利用电镀法在衬底111上形成第一导电部108、第二导电部109、第一信号线103以及第二信号线104时,可以先利用MoNiTi形成种子层,以提高后续电镀工艺中金属晶粒的成核密度,之后再通过电镀制作电阻率低的Cu层,之后再制作防氧化层,材料可以为MoNiTi。导电层可以经过清洗、涂覆、烘烤、光刻、显影、硬烤、刻蚀、剥离等工艺后,形成第一导电部108、第二导电部109、第一信号线103以及第二信号线104。制备位于同一层的第一导电部108、第二导电部109、第一信号线103以及第二信号线104仅需要使用两张掩膜版,相比于至少需要三张掩膜版来形成位于不同层的导电结构,可以减少所需掩膜版的数量,简化工艺制程,降低生产成本。
然后,在第一导电部108和第二导电部109所在的层远离衬底111的一侧通过磁控溅射方法形成第一绝缘层113。第一绝缘层113可以用来保护第一导电部108和第二导电部109以防止其被环境中的水、氧等氧化腐蚀。第一绝缘层113的材料可以是有机材料、无机材料或者有机材料和无机材料的结合,第一绝缘层113可以是单个膜层,也可以包括多个膜层。
可选地,还可以在第一绝缘层113远离衬底111的一侧涂覆第二绝缘膜层,通过对该第二绝缘膜层进行固化、曝光、显影、刻蚀等若干处理,形成第二绝缘层114。第二绝缘层114的材料可以是有机材料、无机材料或者有机材料和无机材料的结合,第二绝缘层114可以是单个膜层,也可以包括多个膜层。当发光基板上形成有第二绝缘层114时,对第二绝缘层114和第一绝缘层113进行刻蚀以形成多个过孔。
最后,将发光基板切割成规定的外形,使发光单元106和驱动电路107分别通过上述多个过孔与第二导电部109的第一焊盘1091和第二焊盘1092电连接,以将发光单元106和驱动电路107安装在相应的焊盘上。第一导电部108的各条信号线连接到绑定区处的柔性电路板110,从而实现驱动电路107与柔性电路板110的电连接,最终得到所需的发光基板。
