在研究中,本申请的发明人发现:发光功能层可以包括层叠设置的多层发光层,该多层发光层中的至少两层之间设置有电荷产生层(CGL),电荷产生层的导电率较大,在电荷产生层为整面膜层时,相邻两个有机发光元件的电荷产生层是连续膜层,容易使得相邻子像素之间产生串扰。
本公开至少一个实施例提供一种显示基板及其制作方法、以及显示装置。该显示基板包括衬底基板以及位于衬底基板上的多个子像素以及绝缘层。子像素位于衬底基板上的第一显示区域,每个子像素包括有机发光元件,有机发光元件包括发光功能层以及沿垂直于衬底基板的方向位于发光功能层两侧的第一电极和第二电极,第一电极位于发光功能层与衬底基板之间,发光功能层包括多个膜层。显示基板还包括遮挡部,位于绝缘层远离衬底基板的一侧,且遮挡部在衬底基板上的正投影与绝缘层在衬底基板上的正投影有交叠;所述绝缘层包括多个凹槽,所述凹槽和所述遮挡部至少部分位于相邻子像素之间,所述遮挡部与所述绝缘层远离衬底基板一侧表面中构成所述凹槽边缘的部分在衬底基板上的投影有交叠,且向所述凹槽开口内突出以形成突出部,或者,所述 遮挡部的至少部分侧表面与平行于所述绝缘层远离所述衬底基板一侧表面的平面的坡度角为第一坡度角,所述凹槽的至少部分侧表面与平行于所述绝缘层远离所述衬底基板一侧表面的平面的坡度角为第二坡度角,所述第一坡度角与所述第二坡度角的至少之一大于60度;所述绝缘层的材料与所述遮挡部的材料不同,且沿垂直于所述衬底基板的方向,所述绝缘层与所述遮挡部在衬底基板上投影交叠的至少部分的厚度大于所述遮挡部的厚度;所述发光功能层的多个膜层中的至少一层在所述凹槽处断开。本公开实施例通过在显示基板中相邻子像素之间设置凹槽以及向凹槽内突出的遮挡部,可以使得发光功能层的多个膜层的至少一层在遮挡部边缘处断开,有利于降低相邻子像素之间产生串扰的几率。
下面结合附图对本公开实施例提供的显示基板及其制作方法、以及显示装置进行描述。
图1A为根据本公开实施例的一示例提供的显示基板的局部截面结构示意图,图1B为根据本公开实施例的另一示例提供的显示基板的局部截面结构示意图,图1C为根据本公开实施例提供的显示基板的平面图。如图1A至图1C所示,显示基板包括位于衬底基板01上的第一显示区A1和第一显示区A2。例如,第一显示区域A1围绕第二显示区域A2的至少部分。例如,图1B示出的第二显示区域A2位于衬底基板01的顶部正中间位置,例如呈矩形的第一显示区域A1的四侧可以均围绕第二显示区域A2,即第二显示区域A2可以被第一显示区域A1包围。例如,该第二显示区域A2也可以不位于图1B所示衬底基板01的顶部正中间位置处,而是位于其他位置。例如,第二显示区域A2可以位于衬底基板01的左上角位置或右上角位置处。例如,第一显示区域A1可以为非透光显示区,第二显示区域A2可以为透光显示区,由此显示基板无需进行挖孔处理就可以将感光传感器等所需硬件结构直接设置于第二显示区域A2内,为实现全面屏提供基础。
如图1A至图1C所示,显示基板包括衬底基板01、位于衬底基板01上的第一显示区域A1的多个子像素10以及位于衬底基板01上的绝缘层200。例如,绝缘层200的材料可以包括有机材料,绝缘层200可以为有机层。
如图1A至图1C所示,子像素10包括有机发光元件100,有机发光元件100包括发光功能层130以及沿垂直于衬底基板01的方向位于发光功能层130两侧的第一电极110和第二电极120,第一电极110位于发光功能层130与衬 底基板01之间,发光功能层130包括多个膜层,例如发光功能层130包括电荷产生层133。
如图1A至图1C所示,显示基板还包括遮挡部300,位于绝缘层200远离衬底基板01的一侧,且遮挡部300在衬底基板01上的正投影与绝缘层200在衬底基板01上的正投影有交叠。遮挡部300的材料与绝缘层200的材料不同。例如,遮挡部300的材料包括无机非金属材料或者金属材料。
如图1A至图1C所示,绝缘层200包括多个凹槽210,沿垂直于衬底基板01的方向,绝缘层200除凹槽210位置以外的部分的厚度大于遮挡部300的厚度。绝缘层200与所述遮挡部300在衬底基板01上投影交叠的至少部分的厚度大于所述遮挡部300的厚度。
如图1B所示,凹槽210和遮挡部300至少部分位于相邻子像素10之间,且相邻子像素10之间设置有沿该相邻子像素10的排列方向排列且彼此间隔的至少两个遮挡部300,遮挡部300位于凹槽210边缘且在该排列方向上向凹槽210内突出以形成覆盖凹槽开口的一部分的突出部310。上述排列方向可以大致是相邻子像素的发光区中心连线或最近距离连线的延伸方向,或者相邻子像素的发光区沿X方向分布,上述方向就是X方向。
如图1C所示,遮挡部300的至少部分侧表面与平行于所述绝缘层200远离所述衬底基板01一侧表面的平面的坡度角为第一坡度角,所述凹槽210的至少部分侧表面与平行于所述绝缘层200远离所述衬底基板01一侧表面的平面的坡度角为第二坡度角,所述第一坡度角与所述第二坡度角的至少之一大于60度。
如图1C所示,遮挡部300的至少部分侧表面与平行于遮挡部300和绝缘层200的接触面的平面的坡度角为第一坡度角,凹槽210的至少部分侧表面与平行于遮挡部300和绝缘层200的接触面的平面的坡度角为第二坡度角,第一坡度角与第二坡度角的至少之一大于60度。例如,第一坡度角与第二坡度角的至少之一为60~120度。例如,第一坡度角与第二坡度角的至少之一为70~110度。例如,第一坡度角与第二坡度角的至少之一为80~100度。例如,第一坡度角与第二坡度角的至少之一大于70度。例如,第一坡度角与第二坡度角的至少之一大于80度。例如,第一坡度角与第二坡度角的至少之一大于70度。例如,第一坡度角与第二坡度角的至少之一大于80度。例如,第一坡度角与第二坡度角的至少之一大于90度。
上述第一坡度角可以为遮挡部远离衬底基板一侧的表面与遮挡部的侧表面之间的夹角,也可以为遮挡部面向衬底基板一侧的表面与遮挡部的侧表面之间的夹角;上述第二坡度角可以为绝缘层远离衬底基板一侧的表面与凹槽的侧表面之间的夹角。上述遮挡部的侧表面可以指遮挡部的与衬底基板之间具有一定夹角的表面,上述凹槽的侧表面可以指凹槽的侧壁,该侧壁与衬底基板之间具有一定夹角。
图1B和图1C所示示例区别在于遮挡部300与凹槽210的侧壁的位置关系以及角度关系。
如图1A至图1C所述,发光功能层130的至少一层膜层在遮挡部300的至少部分边缘处断开。
本公开实施例在显示基板中相邻子像素之间设置凹槽以及遮挡部,通过调节遮挡部与凹槽边缘的相对位置关系,或者遮挡部侧表面的角度以及凹槽侧壁的角度,可以使得发光功能层的至少一层膜层在遮挡部相对于凹槽的边缘突出的突出部处断开,或者在遮挡部与凹槽侧壁的边缘处断开,有利于降低相邻子像素之间产生串扰的几率。
例如,在绝缘层200和遮挡部300的材料均为透光材料时,绝缘层200的折射率小于遮挡部的折射率。例如,在垂直于衬底基板01的方向,遮挡部300可以与后续描述的像素电路中的某一晶体管交叠,以起到遮光作用。
本公开任一实施例中的“相邻子像素”指两个子像素之间没有设置其他子像素。
例如,如图1A所示,多个子像素10可以包括沿X方向排列的相邻两个子像素10。例如,该相邻两个子像素10中设置的多个遮挡部300沿X方向排列。例如,相邻两个子像素10之间设置的遮挡部300在沿X方向上相对于凹槽210的边缘向凹槽210内突出以形成突出部310,遮挡部300中的突出部310悬空设置,突出部310遮挡了凹槽210的开口的边缘部分,遮挡部300中除突出部310外的部分与绝缘层200远离衬底基板01一侧的表面贴合。例如,突出部310沿平行于衬底基板01的方向延伸。例如,突出部310在绝缘层200上的正投影位于凹槽210内。
例如,如图1A所示,位于相邻两个子像素10中的一个遮挡部300与该相邻两个子像素10之一的距离小于与该相邻两个子像素10中另一个的距离;相邻两个子像素10中,距离该遮挡部300距离较近的子像素10为子像素P1,该 遮挡部300中的突出部310比该遮挡部300的其他部分更远离子像素P1,凹槽210的中心位于该遮挡部300远离子像素P1的一侧。
例如,如图1A所示,发光功能层130可以包括层叠设置的第一发光层(EML)131、电荷产生层(CGL)133以及第二发光层132,电荷产生层133位于第一发光层131与第二发光层132之间。电荷产生层具有较强的导电性,可以使得发光功能层具有寿命长、功耗低以及可实现高亮度的优点,例如,相对于没有设置电荷产生层的发光功能层,子像素通过在发光功能层中设置电荷产生层可以将发光亮度提高近一倍。
例如,上述包括电荷产生层的子像素采用了Tandem技术,使用N/P-CGL作为异质结,将两层发光层串联,该技术实现了双发光器件串联,在相同发光强度下,极大地降低了发光器件的发光电流,提升了有机发光元件的寿命,有利于应用于车载等高寿命新技术。
例如,各子像素10中,发光功能层130还可以包括空穴注入层(HIL)、空穴传输层(HTL)、电子传输层(ETL)和电子注入层(EIL)。例如,空穴注入层、空穴传输层、电子传输层、电子注入层以及电荷产生层133均为多个子像素10的共用膜层,可以称为共通层。例如,发光功能层130中在凹槽的边缘处断开的至少一层膜层可以为上述共通层中的至少一层膜层。通过将上述共通层中的至少一层膜层在位于相邻子像素之间的凹槽的边缘处断开,可以有利于降低相邻子像素之间产生串扰的几率。
例如,第二发光层132可以位于第一发光层131与第二电极120之间,空穴注入层可以位于第一电极110与第一发光层131之间。例如,电荷产生层133与第一发光层131之间还可以设置电子传输层。例如,第二发光层132与电荷产生层133之间可以设置空穴传输层。例如,第二发光层132与第二电极120之间可以设置电子传输层和电子注入层。
例如,同一个子像素10中,第一发光层131和第二发光层132可以为发射相同颜色光的发光层。例如,发不同颜色光的子像素10中的第一发光层131(或第二发光层132)发射不同颜色光。当然,本公开实施例不限于此,例如,同一子像素10中,第一发光层131和第二发光层132可以为发射不同颜色光的发光层,通过在同一子像素10中设置发射不同颜色光的发光层可以使得子像素10包括的多层发光层发射的光混合为白光,通过设置彩膜层来调节每个子像素出射光的颜色。
例如,相邻子像素10中,位于电荷产生层133同一侧的发光层可以彼此间隔设置,也可以在两个子像素10之间的间隔处交叠或者相接,本公开实施例对此不作限制。
例如,相邻子像素的第一发光层131(第二发光层132)可以在凹槽210内交叠。但不限于此,例如,相邻子像素的第一发光层131(第二发光层132)可以在凹槽210内间隔设置;或者,凹槽210内可以仅设置相邻子像素中的一个子像素的第一发光层131(第二发光层132)。
例如,电子传输层的材料可以包括芳族杂环化合物,例如苯并咪唑衍生物、咪唑并吡啶衍生物、苯并咪唑并菲啶衍生物等咪唑衍生物;嘧啶衍生物、三嗪衍生物等嗪衍生物;喹啉衍生物、异喹啉衍生物、菲咯啉衍生物等包含含氮六元环结构的化合物(也包括在杂环上具有氧化膦系的取代基的化合物)等。
例如,电荷产生层133的材料可以是含有磷氧基团的材料,也可以是含有三嗪的材料。
例如,在上述相邻两个子像素10之间的绝缘层200没有设置凹槽210,且绝缘层200上没有设置遮挡部300时,该相邻两个子像素10的发光功能层130中的至少一层膜层可能连接或者为整层膜层。通过在相邻子像素之间设置凹槽以及遮挡部,该相邻两个子像素的发光功能层中至少一个膜层(如电荷产生层)间隔设置,可以增加相邻子像素之间发光功能层的电阻,从而在降低该相邻两个子像素之间产生串扰的几率的同时,又不影响子像素的正常显示。
本公开实施例提供的显示基板中,通过在该相邻两个子像素之间的有机层设置凹槽,且在该凹槽的边缘设置相对于凹槽的边缘向内突出的遮挡部,可以使得形成在遮挡部向凹槽内突出的突出部处的电荷产生层断开,此时,该相邻两个子像素的发光功能层中至少一个膜层(如电荷产生层)间隔设置,可以增加相邻子像素之间发光功能层的电阻,从而在降低该相邻两个子像素之间产生串扰的几率的同时,又不影响子像素的正常显示。
例如,第二发光层132与第一电极110之间的膜层均在遮挡部300的突出部310处断开。
例如,凹槽210的深度大于发光功能层130的厚度,发光功能层130包括的所有膜层均在突出部310处断开。例如,凹槽210内可以设置有发光功能层130的部分膜层以及第二电极120。例如,凹槽210内可以设置有发光功能层130的所有膜层以及第二电极120。
例如,发光功能层130中至少一层在衬底基板01上的第一正投影是连续的,且在垂直于衬底基板01的平面上的第二正投影不连续;或者,发光功能层130中至少一层在衬底基板01上的第一正投影与在垂直于衬底基板01的平面上的第二正投影均不连续,且第一正投影中不连续位置处的间隔的宽度小于第二正投影中不连续位置处的间隔的宽度。
例如,发光功能层130中至少一层可以为电荷产生层133,电荷产生层133在衬底基板01上的第一正投影是连续的,且在垂直于衬底基板01的平面上的第二正投影不连续。例如,电荷产生层133可以包括位于凹槽210内的部分以及没有位于凹槽210内的部分,这两部分在凹槽210的边缘处断开。例如,这两部分在衬底基板01上的第一正投影可以相接或者交叠,第一正投影是连续的。例如,这两部分与衬底基板01之间的距离不同,则这两部分在XY面上的第二正投影是不连续的。
例如,发光功能层130中至少一层可以为电荷产生层133,电荷产生层133在衬底基板01上的第一正投影与在垂直于衬底基板01的平面上的第二正投影均不连续,且第一正投影中不连续位置处的间隔的宽度小于第二正投影中不连续位置处的间隔的宽度。例如,电荷产生层133可以包括位于凹槽210内的部分以及没有位于凹槽210内的部分,这两部分在限定结构300的边缘处断开。例如,这两部分在衬底基板01上的第一正投影之间设置有间隔,第一正投影是断开的。例如,这两部分与衬底基板01之间的距离不同,则这两部分在XY面上的第二正投影是不连续的,两部分在XY面上的第二正投影之间设置有间隔。
例如,如图1A所示,绝缘层200位于第一电极110与衬底基板01之间。
例如,衬底基板01的材料可以由玻璃、聚酰亚胺、聚碳酸酯、聚丙烯酸酯、聚醚酰亚胺、聚醚砜中的一种或多种材料制成,本实施例包括但不限于此。
例如,绝缘层200包括有机层。例如,有机层包括平坦(PLN,Planarization)层。例如,第一电极110与有机层远离衬底基板01的表面接触。例如,凹槽210位于有机层中,凹槽210的深度与有机层的平坦部分的厚度比大于等于0.2,且小于1。例如,凹槽210位于平坦层中,凹槽210的深度与平坦层的厚度比为0.2~0.9。例如,凹槽210的深度与平坦层的厚度比为0.3~0.8。例如,凹槽210的深度与平坦层的厚度比为0.4~0.7。例如,凹槽210的深度与平坦层的厚度比为0.5~0.6。上述平坦层的厚度可以指平坦层最大厚度位置处的厚度,也可 以指平坦层中除凹槽以及过孔位置外的最小厚度位置处的厚度,还可以指平坦层的平均厚度。例如,平坦层的厚度可以为1.5微米,凹槽210的深度可以为0.5微米。
例如,平坦层的材料包括树脂、亚克力或聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯、聚酰亚胺、聚酰胺、聚碳酸酯、环氧树脂等中的一种或几种的组合等。
例如,如图1A所示,多个子像素10中的第二电极120可以为多个子像素10共用的公共电极,在上述相邻两个子像素10之间的绝缘层200没有设置凹槽210,且绝缘层200上没有设置遮挡部300时,第二电极120为整层膜层;在该相邻两个子像素10之间的绝缘层200设置凹槽210,且在该凹槽210的边缘设置相对于凹槽210的边缘向内突出的遮挡部300时,发光功能层130和第二电极120均在遮挡部300的突出部310处断开。
例如,第二电极210在衬底基板01上的正投影是连续的。例如,第二电极120在垂直于衬底基板01上的正投影可以是不连续的。
例如,凹槽210的深度可以大于发光功能层130的厚度以使发光功能层130和第二电极120均在遮挡部300的突出部310处断开。例如,凹槽210的深度也可以设置的较小,以使发光功能层130在遮挡部300的突出部310处断开,而第二电极120没有在突出部310处断开。
例如,遮挡部300的材料可以包括氮化硅、氧化硅或者氮氧化硅中的任意一种或多种。例如,遮挡部300的材料还可以采用金属或者合金、金属氧化物、金属硫化物或金属氮化物等无机材料,本实施对此不作限制。例如,金属氧化物可以包括氧化钙、氧化锌、氧化铜、二氧化钛、二氧化锡等;金属硫化物可以包括硫化铁、硫化铜、硫化锌、二硫化锡等;金属氮化物可以包括氮化硅、氮化铝等,本实施例包括但不限于此。

例如,如图1A所示,显示基板还包括像素限定图案400,位于第一电极110远离衬底基板01的一侧,至少位于第一显示区域A1的像素限定图案400包括多个第一开口410,一个子像素对应至少一个第一开口410,子像素的发光元件至少部分位于子像素对应的第一开口410中,且第一开口410被配置为暴露第一电极110。例如,第一电极110的至少部分位于像素限定图案400与衬底基板01之间。例如,当发光功能层130形成在像素限定图案400的第一开口410中时,位于发光功能层130两侧的第一电极110和第二电极120能够驱动像素限定图案400的第一开口410中的发光功能层130进行发光。例如,上述发光区可以指子像素有效发光的区域,发光区的形状指二维形状,例如发光区的形状可以与像素限定图案400的第一开口410的形状相同。
例如,像素限定图案400除第一开口410外的部分包括像素限定部,像素限定部的材料可以包括聚酰亚胺、亚克力或聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯等。
例如,如图1A所示,像素限定部覆盖遮挡部300的至少一部分。例如,像素限定部没有覆盖遮挡部300的突出部310。
例如,如图1A所示,沿平行于衬底基板01的方向,遮挡部300与第一电极110之间设置有像素限定部,即像素限定部可以将遮挡部300与第一电极110分隔开。
例如,第一电极110包括至少一层膜层,遮挡部300与第一电极110的一层膜层同层设置。例如,第一电极110中的一层膜层的材料与遮挡部300的材料相同。例如,第一电极包括至少一层膜层,遮挡部与第一电极的至少一层膜层同层设置。例如,遮挡部与第一电极的至少一层膜层设置在同一膜层的同一表面。
例如,第一电极110可以为阳极,第二电极120可以为阴极。例如,阴极可由高导电性和低功函数的材料形成,例如,阴极可采用金属材料制成。例如,阳极可由具有高功函数的透明导电材料形成。
例如,遮挡部300可以和与其距离最近的第一电极110中最靠近衬底基板01一侧的一层膜层为一体化结构。例如,通过将第一电极沿例如图1A所示的X方向的尺寸设置的较长以包括延伸至凹槽210边缘的突出部310,可以节省图案化制作遮挡部的图案化工艺。
例如,沿图1A所示的X方向,第一电极110的尺寸可以大于像素限定部的尺寸。例如,第一电极110可以包括被第一开口410暴露的部分,被像素限定部覆盖的部分以及延伸至凹槽210的边缘内的突出部310。
例如,如图1A所示,沿相邻子像素10的排列方向(如图中的X方向),位于该相邻子像素10的发光区中心之间的像素限定部称为第一像素限定部,位于该相邻子像素10的发光区中心两侧的像素限定部称为第二像素限定部,第一像素限定部沿X方向的尺寸可以小于第二像素限定部沿X方向的尺寸,从而可以增大两个第一像素限定部之间的距离,以在这两个第一像素限定部之间设置凹槽210以及遮挡部300。
例如,如图1A所示,像素限定图案400还包括第二开口420,第二开口420被配置为暴露至少部分凹槽210。例如,第二开口420可以暴露部分遮挡部300。例如,第二开口420可以完全暴露凹槽210。
例如,如图1A所示,沿X方向,两个遮挡部300彼此靠近的边缘(即突出部310彼此靠近的边缘)之间的距离小于凹槽210的开口。
例如,如图1A所示,凹槽210被平行于XY面所截的截面可以包括三条直边围成的具有开口的图形,其中相交的两条直边可以形成直角、锐角或者钝角;凹槽210被平行于XY面所截的截面可以包括弧形边围成的具有开口的图形,沿与图1A所示的Y方向的箭头所指方向相反的方向,该图形的沿X方向的尺寸可以逐渐增大,或者先增大再减小。

当然,本公开实施例不限于遮挡部300形成后,再形成第一电极110;第一电极110也可以在遮挡部300形成前形成。
例如,在本公开实施例的另一示例中,遮挡部300可以与第一电极110采用同一步图案化工艺形成。例如,在绝缘层200上形成材料层,对该材料层图案化可以同时形成遮挡部300和第一电极110。例如,第一电极110和遮挡部 300可以均为单层结构。例如,第一电极110可以为多层复合结构,如ITO/Ag/ITO,遮挡部300可以为单层结构,遮挡部300的材料可以与第一电极110的一层膜层的材料相同,如ITO。例如,第一电极110和遮挡部300可以均为单层结构,遮挡部300的材料与第一电极110的材料相同。

可以使有机发光功能层130阻隔断,而第二电极120保持连续不被隔断,从而起到防止相邻子像素间串扰的作用,同时第二电极不隔断又保证了显示的均一性。
例如,如图2和图4A所示,在形成第一电极110和遮挡部300后,可以形成像素限定图案400。例如,在形成前述图案的衬底基板01上涂覆像素限定薄膜,通过掩膜、曝光、显影工艺,形成像素限定图案400。例如,显示区域的像素限定图案400包括多个像素限定部,相邻像素限定部之间形成有多个第一开口410和第二开口420,第一开口410和第二开口420内的像素限定膜被显影掉,分别暴露出多个子像素的第一电极110的至少部分表面以及绝缘层200。

例如,如图2和图4A所示,在形成隔垫物012后,可以对除第二开口420外的部分采用掩模遮挡以对第二开口420内的绝缘层200进行干刻以形成凹槽210,遮挡部300的边缘与凹槽210的边缘形成了底切(undercut)结构,此时,遮挡部300包括向凹槽210内突出的突出部310。
例如,如图2和图4B所示,在形成凹槽210之后,依次形成发光功能层130以及第二电极120。例如,第二电极120可以为透明阴极。发光功能层130可以通过透明阴极从远离衬底基板010一侧出光,实现顶发射。例如,第二电极120可以采用镁(Mg)、银(Ag)、铝(Al)中的任意一种或更多种,或采用上述金属中任意一种或多种制成的合金,或者采用透明导电材料,例如,氧 化铟锡(ITO),或者,金属与透明导电材料的多层复合结构。

例如,如图4B所示,形成的发光功能层130会在遮挡部300的突出部310处断开,使得一部分发光功能层130位于遮挡部300边缘,另一部分发光功能层130沉积到凹槽210内。例如,如图4B所示,形成的第二电极120会在遮挡部300的突出部310处断开,使得一部分第二电极120位于遮挡部300边缘,另一部分第二电极120沉积到凹槽210内。
例如,如图2和图4B所示,形成第二电极120以后,显示基板的制作方法还包括形成封装层,封装层可以包括叠设的第一封装层017、第二封装层018和第三封装层019。第一封装层017采用无机材料,在显示区域覆盖第二电极120。第二封装层018采用有机材料。第三封装层019采用无机材料,覆盖第一封装层017和第二封装层018。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如,封装层也可以采用无机/有机/无机/有机/无机的五层结构。例如,第一封装层017和第二封装层018均填充凹槽210。例如,沿垂直于衬底基板01的方向,第二封装层018在凹槽210位置处的厚度大于第二封装层018在发光元件的发光区位置处的厚度。
例如,如图3、图5A至图5D所示,本示例形成的显示基板与图2、图4A-图4B所示显示基板不同之处在于,本示例中的显示基板包括两层源漏金属层图案015和016(第一导电层图案015和第二导电层图案016)。
例如,如图3、图5A至图5D所示,在形成绝缘层200后,显示基板的制作方法包括在绝缘层200远离衬底基板01的一侧表面图案化形成多个遮挡部300;形成遮挡部300后,图案化形成第一电极110。本示例示意性的示出遮挡部300和第一电极110的材料不同,且通过两步图案化工艺形成,但不限于此,例如,在形成绝缘层200后,显示基板的制作方法可以包括在绝缘层200远离 衬底基板01的一侧表面采用一步图案化工艺形成多个遮挡部300以及多个第一电极110。
例如,如图3、图5A至图5D所示,在形成第一电极110后,可以形成像素限定图案400。例如,在形成前述图案的衬底基板01上涂覆像素限定薄膜,通过掩膜、曝光、显影工艺,形成像素限定图案400。例如,显示区域的像素限定图案400包括多个像素限定部,相邻像素限定部之间形成有多个第一开口410和第二开口420,第一开口410和第二开口420内的像素限定膜被显影掉,分别暴露出多个子像素的第一电极110的至少部分表面、遮挡部300以及部分绝缘层200。
例如,如图3、图5A至图5D所示,像素限定图案400的像素限定部可以与遮挡部300没有交叠。但不限于此,像素限定图案400的像素限定部也可以覆盖部分遮挡部300,或者像素限定图案400的像素限定部完全覆盖遮挡部300。
例如,如图3、图5A至图5D所示,形成像素限定图案400后,可以在像素限定部上形成隔垫物012,隔垫物012的形成方法可以与图4B所示方法相同,在此不再赘述。

本示例中,凹槽210可以不是贯穿像素限定部的开口,以防止对平坦层进行刻蚀而影响到第二导电层图案016。
例如,图9A至图9B为形成图8之前的显示基板的制作方法流程示意图。例如,如图8至图9B所示,显示基板的制作方法包括在衬底基板01上形成多个子像素,其中,形成子像素包括在垂直于衬底基板01的方向上依次形成层叠设置的第一电极110、发光功能层130以及第二电极120;在衬底基板01上形成绝缘层200;在绝缘层200上形成遮挡部材料层,并对遮挡部材料层图案化形成多个遮挡部300,其中,遮挡部300位于相邻子像素之间,且相邻子像素之间设置有沿该相邻子像素的排列方向排列且彼此间隔的至少两个遮挡部300;对绝缘层200进行刻蚀形成凹槽210。凹槽210的开口边缘相对于相邻两个遮挡部300彼此靠近的边缘向外扩展以使遮挡部300包括在排列方向上向凹 槽210内突出的突出部310。在形成凹槽210后,在绝缘层200上形成发光功能层130,发光功能层130包括电荷产生层133,电荷产生层133在遮挡部300的突出部310处断开。
例如,如图8至图9B所示,形成绝缘层200之前,制作方法还包括:在衬底基板01上形成电极层,并对电极层图案化以形成第一电极110;形成绝缘层200包括:在第一电极110上形成像素限定膜(即绝缘层200);以及对像素限定膜图案化以形成暴露第一电极110的第一开口410以及凹槽210,第一开口410被配置为限定子像素的发光区。
例如,如图8至图9B所示,形成第一开口410以后,在绝缘层200上形成隔垫物012。
例如,如图8至图9B所示,形成隔垫物012以后,在绝缘层200上形成遮挡部材料层,并对遮挡部材料层图案化形成遮挡部300。例如,遮挡部300的材料可以包括氮化硅、氧化硅或者氮氧化硅中的任意一种或多种。
例如,如图8至图9B所示,形成遮挡部300后,将掩模覆盖遮挡部300以外的区域以对相邻遮挡部300之间的绝缘层200进行干刻以形成凹槽210,遮挡部300的边缘与凹槽210的边缘形成了底切(undercut)结构,此时,遮挡部300包括向凹槽210内突出的突出部310。
例如,图10A至图10E为根据本公开实施例的提供的显示基板的平面结构示意图。上述图1A至图9B所示实施例中的凹槽210和遮挡部300构成隔断结构,用于隔断发光功能层130中的电荷产生层133。
例如,如图10A至图10E所示,多个子像素10包括多个第一颜色子像素101、多个第二颜色子像素102以及多个第三颜色子像素103。例如,第一颜色子像素101和第三颜色子像素103之一发红光,另一个发蓝光;第二颜色子像素102发绿光。图10A至图10E示意性的示出第一颜色子像素101发红光,为红色子像素;第三颜色子像素103发蓝光,为蓝色子像素;第二颜色子像素102发绿光,为绿色子像素。
例如,如图10A至图10E所示,多个第一颜色子像素101和多个第三颜色子像素103沿平行于衬底基板01的第一方向和第二方向(例如,第一方向和第二方向之一可以为图中所示U方向,另一个为图中所示的V方向)均交替设置以形成多个第一像素行02和多个第一像素列03,多个第二颜色子像素101沿第一方向和第二方向均阵列排布以形成多个第二像素行04和多个第二 像素列05,多个第一像素行02和多个第二像素行04沿第二方向交替设置且在第一方向上彼此错开,多个第一像素列03和多个第二像素列05沿第一方向交替设置且在第二方向上彼此错开。
例如,凹槽210包括环状凹槽,环状凹槽围绕一个第一颜色子像素101、一个第二颜色子像素102或者一个第三颜色子像素103。例如,至少部分环状凹槽包括至少一个缺口G1,遮挡部300在衬底基板上的正投影位于凹槽210的垂直于其在衬底基板01上的正投影的延伸方向的两侧。例如,凹槽210在衬底基板01上的正投影的形状为条形时,该正投影的延伸方向指条形的延伸方向;在凹槽210在衬底基板01上的正投影的形状为弧形时,该正投影的延伸方向指弧形边的延伸方向;凹槽210在衬底基板01上的正投影的形状为环形时,该正投影的延伸方向指环形边的延伸方向。
例如,凹槽210的至少部分边界和与其紧邻的子像素10的发光区的边界轮廓大致相同。例如,子像素10的发光区的边界轮廓可以包括多条直边,和/或,连接相邻直线的弧形边,围绕该发光区的凹槽210的边界轮廓中可以包括与发光区的直边对应的直边轮廓,和/或,与弧形边对应的弧边轮廓。
例如,沿垂直于210凹槽在衬底基板01上的正投影延伸方向,遮挡部300向凹槽210内突出的突出部在衬底基板01上的正投影的尺寸与该遮挡部300在衬底基板01上的正投影的尺寸之比为0.005~0.5。例如,上述尺寸之比可以为0.01~0.4。例如,上述尺寸之比可以为0.05~3。例如,上述尺寸之比可以为0.1~2。例如,上述尺寸之比可以为0.5~1。
例如,沿一方向,该方向垂直于凹槽210的正投影的延伸方向且平行于衬底基板01,位于凹槽210边缘两侧的两个遮挡部300的尺寸相同,且两个遮挡部300向凹槽210内突出的尺寸相同。
例如,如图10A至图10E所示,凹槽210位于相邻的第一颜色子像素101和第三颜色子像素103之间,和/或,凹槽210位于相邻的第二颜色子像素102与第三颜色子像素103之间,和/或,凹槽210位于相邻的第一颜色子像素101和第二颜色子像素102之间。
例如,如图10A所示,本公开实施例的一示例中,像素限定图案的像素限定部401包括围绕各第一开口410的一圈结构,以及位于隔垫物012与衬底基板01之间的结构,相邻第一开口410之间的部分像素限定部被去除,以方便形成平坦层中的凹槽210。但不限于此,像素限定部除与凹槽210对应位置以 及第一开口410外的其他位置处也可以设置。例如,在凹槽位于像素限定图案中时,相邻第一开口410之间的像素限定部不能被去除。
例如,图1A所示相邻两个子像素10可以沿图10A所示的X方向排列。例如,图1A所示相邻两个子像素10可以为第二颜色子像素102和第一颜色子像素101,或者也可以为第三颜色子像素103和第二颜色子像素102。
例如,如图1A至图3、图6、图7以及图10A至图10B所示,沿X方向排列的相邻两个子像素,如第一颜色子像素101和第二颜色子像素102之间没有设置凹槽210时,这两个子像素的电荷产生层133会沿路径PA1导通,该路径尺寸较短,容易造成这两个子像素之间产生串扰;在第一颜色子像素101和第二颜色子像素102之间设置了凹槽210以及遮挡部300以使电荷产生层133在X方向断开时,这两个子像素的电荷产生层133会沿路径PA2导通,相对于路径PA1,路径PA2的尺寸更长(例如路径P2相对于路径PA1可增加路径P1的0.5倍),使得两个子像素之间间隔处的电荷产生层133的电阻增大,有利于降低相邻两个子像素发生串扰的风险。
例如,如图1A至图3、图6、图7以及图10A至图10B所示,至少部分子像素的发光区的形状包括矩形,至少部分凹槽210的形状为长条形,且长条形的延伸方向(X方向或者Z方向)平行于与其紧邻的子像素的发光区的矩形边的延伸方向,遮挡部300位于凹槽210的垂直于其延伸方向的两侧。例如,位于沿X方向排列的相邻两个子像素10中的凹槽210可以沿Z方向延伸,位于沿Z方向排列的相邻两个子像素10中的凹槽210可以沿X方向延伸。
例如,如图1A至图3、图6、图7以及图10A至图10B所示,凹槽210可以围绕子像素10设置,且在子像素10的发光区的角部位置处有断口。例如,沿X方向或者Z方向排列的相邻两个子像素的发光区之间的间距小于沿U方向或者V方向排列的相邻两个子像素的发光区之间的间距,因此可以在沿X方向或者Z方向排列的相邻两个子像素的发光区之间设置凹槽210,在沿U方向或者V方向排列的相邻两个子像素之间不设置凹槽210以保证各子像素的第二电极的连通,减小第二电极的电阻以降低损耗。
例如,如图1A至图3、图6、图7以及图10A至图10B所示,围绕一个子像素的发光区的凹槽210的数量可以包括四个,四个凹槽210分别平行于发光区的四条边。
例如,如图10A至图10B所示,第三颜色子像素103的发光区的顶角包 括相对设置的第一角部C1和第二角部C2,构成第一角部C1的两条边的延长线或两条边的切线的交点到该子像素的中心的距离大于构成第二角部C2的两条边或其延长线或两条边的切线的交点到该子像素的中心的距离;第三子像素103包括第一类型子像素和第二类型子像素,不同类型子像素中,第一角部C1的顶点指向第二角部C2的顶点的方向不同,且第一类型子像素和第二类型子像素中,第一角部C1的顶点指向第二角部C2的顶点的方向分别为第一指向方向和第二指向方向,第一指向方向和第二指向方向相反。例如,第一指向方向可以为U方向的箭头所指的方向,第二指向方向可以为U方向的箭头所指的方向相反的方向,第一指向方向和第二指向方向可以互换;例如,第一指向方向也可以为V方向的箭头所指的方向,第二指向方向也可以为V方向的箭头所指的方向相反的方向,第一指向方向和第二指向方向可以互换。
例如,如图10A至图10B所示,第三颜色子像素103的发光区的第一角部C1可以为圆倒角,第三颜色子像素103的发光区的第一角部C1和该第一角部C1相对的第一颜色子像素101的发光区的顶角之间的距离为第一角部间距CD1,第三颜色子像素103的发光区的第二角部C2和该第二角部C2相对的第一颜色子像素101的发光区的顶角之间的距离为第二角部间距CD2,第一角部间距CD1大于第二角部间距CD2,由此,隔垫物012可以设置在第一角部对应的间隔的位置处。
例如,如图10A至图10B所示,在隔垫物012附近的凹槽210的形状可以与其他位置处的凹槽210的形状不同,例如,隔垫物012两侧第二颜色子像素102与隔垫物012之间设置的凹槽210的平面形状可以为弧形,且围绕相应的第二颜色子像素102的发光区的顶角。例如,一个第二颜色子像素102和与其相邻的第一颜色子像素101之间的凹槽210为第一子凹槽,这个第二颜色子像素102和与其相邻的第三颜色子像素103之间的凹槽210为第二子凹槽,第一子凹槽与第二子凹槽可以一体化为一个弯曲的凹槽210,该弯曲的凹槽210位于隔垫物012与第二颜色子像素102之间,且朝向第二颜色子像素102弯曲。
上述圆倒角可以指一段曲线形成的顶角,该曲线可以为圆弧,也可以为非规则的曲线,例如椭圆形中截取的曲线、波浪线等。本公开实施例示意性的示出该曲线具有相对于子像素的中心向外凸的形状,但不限于此,也可以为该曲线具有相对于子像素的中心向内凹的形状。例如,曲线为圆弧时,该圆弧的圆心角的范围可以为10°~150°。例如,该圆弧的圆心角的范围可以为60°~120°。 例如,该圆弧的圆心角的范围可以为90°。例如,第一角部111包括的圆倒角的曲线长度可以为10~60微米。
例如,如图10A和图10B所示,相邻子像素之间设置有沿该相邻两个子像素的排列方向排列且间隔设置的多个遮挡部300,相邻子像素之间设置的多个遮挡部300中的相邻两个遮挡部300之间设置有一个凹槽210,且位于凹槽210边缘两侧的两个遮挡部300均向凹槽210内突出。
例如,如图10A和图10B所示,沿Z方向排列的相邻的第一颜色子像素101和第二颜色子像素102的发光区之间的间距较小,两个发光区之间的凹槽210沿X方向延伸,遮挡部300可以位于凹槽210的沿Z方向的两侧,且向凹槽210的内部突出以形成突出部(遮挡部300的边缘与凹槽210边缘共同形成底切结构),由此,上述第一颜色子像素101和第二颜色子像素102的电荷产生层会在突出部位置处断开,防止这两个子像素之间发生串扰。
例如,如图10A和图10B所示,沿Z方向排列的相邻的第一颜色子像素101和第二颜色子像素102之间的凹槽210沿X方向延伸,遮挡部300可以位于凹槽210的沿Z方向的两侧,凹槽210的沿X方向的两侧可以不设置遮挡部以使得在X方向上仅经过凹槽210的发光功能层以及第二电极均不会发生断裂,从而保证了在X方向上第二电极的连通性,减小了第二电极的电阻。
例如,如图10A和图10B所示,由于沿U方向和V方向至少之一方向排列的相邻两个子像素的发光区之间的距离大于沿X方向(或Y方向)排列的相邻两个子像素的发光区之间的距离,则沿U方向和V方向至少之一方向排列的相邻两个子像素的发光区之间可以不设置凹槽以及遮挡部。
例如,如图10C至图10E所示,至少一个子像素的四周围绕了一圈不连续的凹槽210。例如,如图10C至图10E所示,每个子像素的四周围绕了一圈不连续的凹槽210。图10A、图10C至图10E仅示意出了凹槽210,各图中遮挡部可以如图10B所示遮挡部300与凹槽210的位置关系进行设置。
例如,如图10C所示,沿X方向或者Z方向排列的相邻两个子像素中,一个子像素的发光区的顶角处被凹槽210包围,另一个子像素的发光区的边缘处被凹槽210包围。例如,沿X方向或者Z方向排列的第一颜色子像素101和第二颜色子像素102中,第二颜色子像素102的发光区的顶角处被凹槽210包围,第一颜色子像素101的发光区的边缘处被凹槽210包围。例如,沿X方向或者Z方向排列的第三颜色子像素103和第二颜色子像素102中,第二颜色 子像素102的发光区的顶角处被凹槽210包围,第三颜色子像素103的发光区的边缘处被凹槽210包围。本公开实施例的一示例提供的显示基板中,通过将沿X方向或者Z方向排列的相邻两个子像素的发光区中,一个发光区的边缘对应设置凹槽,一个发光区的顶角对应设置凹槽,既可以将这两个发光区之间最短间隔(具有图10A所示的路径PA1)内的电荷产生层断开,还可以将这两个发光区之间较长间隔(具有图10A所示的路径PA2)内的电荷产生层断开。
例如,如图10C所示,位于隔垫物012两侧的第二颜色子像素102的发光区的边缘的凹槽210可以为围绕第二颜色子像素102的发光区的三个顶角和两个边缘的连续弯曲的凹槽210。
例如,图10D所示显示基板与图10C所示显示基板的区别在于第二颜色子像素102的发光区的边缘被凹槽210包围,第一颜色子像素101和第三颜色子像素103的发光区的顶角被凹槽210包围。
例如,图10E所示显示基板与图10C所示显示基板的区别在于沿U方向和V方向的至少之一的方向,相邻第一颜色子像素101和第三颜色子像素103之间的间隔处增设了凹槽210,从而尽量使得在各不同方向上排列的相邻两个子像素的电荷产生层在凹槽210和遮挡部的共同作用下断开。例如,沿U方向和V方向,相邻第一颜色子像素101和第三颜色子像素103之间的间隔处均增设了凹槽210。
本公开另一实施例提供一种显示装置,包括图1A至图10E所示的显示基板,通过在显示装置中的相邻子像素之间设置凹槽以及向凹槽内突出的遮挡部,可以使得发光功能层的电荷产生层在遮挡部相对于凹槽的边缘突出的突出部处断开,有利于降低相邻子像素之间产生串扰的几率。
例如,该显示装置还包括位于显示面板出光侧的盖板。
例如,该显示装置可以为有机发光二极管显示装置等显示器件以及包括该显示装置的电视、数码相机、手机、手表、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或者部件,本实施例不限于此。
图11A为根据本公开另一实施例的一示例提供的显示基板的局部截面结构示意图,图11B为根据本公开另一实施例的另一示例提供的显示基板的局部截面结构示意图。图11A所示显示基板可以与图1C所示显示基板具有相同的第一显示区域A1和第二显示区域A2。如图11A和图11B所示,显示基板包括衬底基板01以及设置在衬底基板01上的第一显示区域A1的多个子像素10。 子像素10包括有机发光元件100,有机发光元件100包括发光功能层130以及沿垂直于衬底基板01的方向位于发光功能层130两侧的第一电极110和第二电极120,第一电极110位于发光功能层130与衬底基板01之间,发光功能层130包括多个膜层,例如,多个膜层包括电荷产生层133。

上述第一子隔离结构的至少部分侧表面与平行于第一子隔离结构和第二子隔离结构的接触面的平面的坡度角可以第一子隔离结构远离衬底基板一侧的表面与第一子隔离结构的侧表面之间的夹角,也可以为第一子隔离结构面向衬底基板一侧的表面与第一子隔离结构的侧表面之间的夹角;上述第二子隔离结构的至少部分侧表面与平行于第一子隔离结构和第二子隔离结构的接触面 的平面的坡度角可以为第二子隔离结构远离衬底基板一侧的表面与第二子隔离结构的侧表面之间的夹角,也可以为第二子隔离结构面向衬底基板一侧的表面与第二子隔离结构的侧表面之间的夹角。上述第一子隔离结构的侧表面可以指第一子隔离结构的与衬底基板之间具有一定夹角的表面,上述第二子隔离结构的侧表面可以指第二子隔离结构的与衬底基板之间的夹角具有一定夹角的表面。
图11A和图11B所示示例区别在于第一子隔离结构610和第二子隔离结构620的位置关系以及角度关系。
如图11A和图11B所示,发光功能层130包括的多个膜层中的至少一层在隔离结构600处断开。例如,发光功能层130包括电荷产生层133,电荷产生层133在隔离结构600的边缘处断开。
本公开实施例在显示基板中相邻子像素之间设置隔离结构,通过调节第一子隔离结构和第二子隔离结构的相对位置关系,或者第一子隔离结构的侧表面的角度以及第二子隔离结构的侧表面的角度,可以使得发光功能层的至少一层膜层在第二子隔离结构相对于第一子隔离结构的边缘突出的突出部处断开,或者在隔离结构的边缘处断开,有利于降低相邻子像素之间产生串扰的几率。本公开实施例通过在显示基板中相邻子像素之间设置隔离结构,可以使得电荷产生层在隔离结构的边缘断开,有利于降低相邻子像素之间产生串扰的几率。
本实施例中的衬底基板01以及有机发光元件100可与图1A至图9B所示实施例中的衬底基板01以及有机发光元件100具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。本示例中的其他膜层011可以与图1A至图9B所示实施例中的其他膜层011具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
例如,第一子隔离结构610的材料和第二子隔离结构620的材料不同。
例如,第一子隔离结构610的材料包括无机非金属材料或者金属材料,第二子隔离结构620的材料包括有机材料。
例如,如图11A所示,多个子像素10可以包括沿X方向排列的相邻两个子像素10。例如,该相邻两个子像素10中设置的多个遮挡部300沿X方向排列。例如,相邻两个子像素10之间设置的第二子隔离结构620的至少一个边缘在沿X方向上相对于第一子隔离结构610的边缘突出以形成隔离突出部601,第二子隔离结构620中的隔离突出部601悬空设置,以使得子像素10的电荷产生层133中靠近该至少一个边缘位置处断开。例如,隔离突出部601沿 平行于衬底基板01的方向延伸。例如,隔离突出部601在衬底基板01上的正投影与第一子隔离结构610在衬底基板01上的正投影没有交叠。
例如,相邻子像素的第一发光层131(第二发光层132)可以在隔离结构600上交叠。但不限于此,例如,相邻子像素的第一发光层131(第二发光层132)可以在隔离结构600上间隔设置;或者,隔离结构600上可以仅设置相邻子像素中的一个子像素的第一发光层131(第二发光层132)。
例如,隔离结构600上可以设置有发光功能层130的部分膜层以及第二电极120。例如,隔离结构600上可以设置有发光功能层130的所有膜层以及第二电极120。
例如,发光功能层130中至少一层在衬底基板01上的第一正投影是连续的,且在垂直于衬底基板01的平面上的第二正投影不连续;或者,发光功能层130中至少一层在衬底基板01上的第一正投影与在垂直于衬底基板01的平面上的第二正投影均不连续,且第一正投影中不连续位置处的间隔的宽度小于第二正投影中不连续位置处的间隔的宽度。
例如,发光功能层130中至少一层可以为电荷产生层133,电荷产生层133在衬底基板01上的第一正投影是连续的,且在垂直于衬底基板01的平面上的第二正投影不连续。例如,电荷产生层133可以包括位于凹槽210内的部分以及没有位于凹槽210内的部分,这两部分在凹槽210的边缘处断开。例如,这两部分在衬底基板01上的第一正投影可以相接或者交叠,第一正投影是连续的。例如,这两部分与衬底基板01之间的距离不同,则这两部分在XY面上的第二正投影是不连续的。
例如,发光功能层130中至少一层可以为电荷产生层133,电荷产生层133在衬底基板01上的第一正投影与在垂直于衬底基板01的平面上的第二正投影均不连续,且第一正投影中不连续位置处的间隔的宽度小于第二正投影中不连续位置处的间隔的宽度。例如,电荷产生层133可以包括位于隔离结构600上的部分以及没有位于隔离结构600上的部分,这两部分在隔离结构600上的边缘处断开。例如,这两部分在衬底基板01上的第一正投影之间设置有间隔,第一正投影是断开的。例如,这两部分与衬底基板01之间的距离不同,则这两部分在XY面上的第二正投影是不连续的,两部分在XY面上的第二正投影之间设置有间隔。
例如,发光功能层130中电荷产生层133面向衬底基板01一侧的至少部 分膜层在隔离结构600处断开。例如,发光功能层130中电荷产生层133面向衬底基板01一侧的全部膜层在隔离结构600处断开。
例如,第一发光层131发出的光的颜色与第二发光层132发出的光的颜色相同。
例如,发光功能层130包括发光层(第一发光层或第二发光层),发光功能层130中至少一层断开的膜层在衬底基板01上的正投影的面积大于发光层(第一发光层或第二发光层)在衬底基板上01的正投影的面积。例如,断开的膜层可以为共通层,发光层可以为通过精细金属掩模板形成的图案化膜层。
例如,发光功能层130包括至少一层发光层(第一发光层或第二发光层),发光功能层130中在隔离结构600处断开的膜层中包括至少一层发光层以及至少一层其他膜层。例如,断开的至少一层其他膜层在衬底基板01上的正投影的面积大于断开的至少一层发光层在衬底基板01上的正投影的面积。例如,断开的至少一层其他膜层覆盖隔离结构600的部分的面积,大于断开的至少一层发光层覆盖隔离结构的部分的面积。例如,断开的至少一层其他膜层完全覆盖隔离结构600,至少一层发光层仅覆盖了隔离结构600的部分。
例如,发光功能层130包括的多个膜层的至少一层以及第二电极120与隔离结构600在衬底基板01上的投影有交叠。
例如,发光功能层130包括的多个膜层的至少一层的至少部分覆盖隔离结构600的部分侧表面。例如,上述膜层可以覆盖第一子隔离结构610的侧表面,和/或,覆盖第二子隔离结构620的侧表面。
例如,如图11A所示,相邻子像素10之间可以设置两个隔离结构600,每个隔离结构600中,第二子隔离结构620的至少一个边缘在沿X方向上相对于第一子隔离结构610的边缘突出。例如,相邻子像素10之间可以设置两个隔离结构600,两个隔离结构600中的第二子隔离结构620的两个边缘均在沿X方向上相对于第一子隔离结构610的边缘突出;或者,一个隔离结构600中的第二子隔离结构620的两个边缘均在沿X方向上相对于第一子隔离结构610的边缘突出,另一个隔离结构600中的第二子隔离结构620的一个边缘在沿X方向上相对于第一子隔离结构610的边缘突出;或者,两个隔离结构600中的第二子隔离结构620均只有一个边缘在沿X方向上相对于第一子隔离结构610的边缘突出,本公开实施例对此不作限制,可以根据实际产品需求进行设置。本公开实施例不限于相邻子像素之间设置两个隔离结构,还可以设置一个隔离 结构,或者三个以上隔离结构。
例如,在上述相邻两个子像素10之间没有设置隔离结构600时,该相邻两个子像素10的发光功能层130中的电荷产生层133可能连接或者为整层膜层。由于电荷产生层133具有较高的导电率,对于具有高分辨率的显示装置而言,电荷产生层133的高导电性容易导致相邻子像素10发生串扰。
本公开实施例提供的显示基板中,通过在该相邻两个子像素之间设置隔离结构,可以使得形成在隔离结构的隔离结构的边缘处的发光功能层的至少一层(如电荷产生层)断开,此时,该相邻两个子像素的发光功能层的至少一层间隔设置,可以增加相邻子像素之间发光功能层的电阻,从而在降低该相邻两个子像素之间产生串扰的几率的同时,又不影响子像素的正常显示。
例如,如图11A所示,隔离结构600面向衬底基板01的一侧表面与衬底基板01之间的距离小于第一电极110面向衬底基板01一侧表面与衬底基板01之间的距离。

例如,沿垂直于衬底基板01的方向,第一子隔离结构610的厚度可以大于发光功能层130的厚度,以使发光功能层130和第二电极120均在第二子隔离结构620相对于第一子隔离结构610的边缘突出的部分,即隔离突出部601处断开。
例如,第二子隔离结构620可以采用感光性的聚酰亚胺制作而成。
例如,第二子隔离结构620与有机层500的材料相同。例如,有机层500可以与图1A至图9B所示的有机层500采用相同的材料,在此不再赘述。

例如,第一子隔离结构610的侧边可以为曲边也可以为直边,例如,第一子隔离结构610的侧边可以向靠近第一子隔离结构610的中心弯曲。例如,第一子隔离结构610的侧边与其远离衬底基板01一侧的表面之间的夹角可以为60度~90度。例如,第一子隔离结构610的侧边与其靠近衬底基板01一侧的表面之间的夹角可以为60度~90度。上述曲边与一表面之间的夹角可以指该曲边与该表面交点位置处的切线与该表面之间的夹角。但不限于此,也可以为上述曲边中点处的切线与该表面之间的夹角。例如,第二子隔离结构620的侧边与其靠近衬底基板01一侧的表面的夹角可以为15~70度。
例如,如图11A所示,有机层500包括多个有机层开口510,隔离结构600位于有机层开口510内。本公开实施例通过在有机层中设置有机层开口,且有机层开口内设置隔离结构,使得相邻子像素的电荷产生层在隔离结构的隔离突出部处断开,有利于降低相邻子像素之间发生串扰的几率。
例如,隔离结构600与有机层开口510的侧壁间隔设置。例如,隔离结构600与像素限定部之间是有间隙,例如间隙可以2微米以上,隔离结构600的 宽度可以为3um以上,两侧像素限定部的宽度分别4um以上,隔离结构600的厚度小于像素限定部的厚度。

例如,第二开口420被配置为暴露有机层开口510的至少部分以及隔离结构600。例如,像素限定图案400的第二开口420在衬底基板01上的正投影可以与有机层500的有机层开口510在衬底基板01上的正投影重合。例如,第二开口420可以完全暴露有机层开口510。
例如,如图11A所示,显示基板中的第一导电层图案015包括第一电源信号线和数据线,第二导电层图案016包括第二电源信号线,第二子隔离结构620与第二导电层图案016同层设置。本公开实施例中的其他膜层011中的第一导电层图案015和第二导电层图案016可以与图3、图5A至图5D所示的第一导电层图案015和第二导电层图案016具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。

例如,如图11A所示,第二子隔离结构620远离衬底基板01一侧的表面为弯曲表面,且弯曲表面朝向第一子隔离结构610弯曲,例如,第一子隔离结构610和第二子隔离结构620形成了“蘑菇型”隔离结构。例如,在通过曝光、显影等工序形成采用有机材料的第二子隔离结构620时,第二子隔离结构620远离衬底基板01一侧的表面为弯曲表面。
例如,第一子隔离结构610包括至少一层膜层,第一电极110包括至少一层电极层,第一子隔离结构610的一层膜层与第一电极110的一层电极层同层设置。
例如,图12为根据本公开另一实施例的一示例提供的显示基板的局部截面结构示意图。图12所示示例中的显示基板与图11A所示的显示基板的不同之处在于图12所示的显示基板中的第一子隔离结构610的厚度较小,例如,第一子隔离结构610的厚度与发光功能层130的厚度比例为0.7~1.5。图12所示显示基板中的衬底基板01以及有机发光元件100可与图1A至图9B所示实施例中的衬底基板01以及有机发光元件100具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。本示例中的其他膜层011可以与图1A至图9B所示实施例中的其他膜层011具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。图12所示显示基板中的隔离结构600中第一子隔离结构610和第二子隔离结构620的材料可以与图11A所示的隔离结构600的第一子隔离结构610和第二子隔离结构620的材料相同,在此不再赘述。 图12所示平坦层500和像素限定图案400可以与图11A所示平坦层500和像素限定图案400具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。

例如,如图12所示,第二子隔离结构620的相对于第一子隔离结构610的边缘突出的部分远离第一子隔离结构610的表面的坡度角可以为15~70度。例如,第二子隔离结构620的隔离突出部601的弯曲表面的边缘的坡度角可以为15~70度。例如,第二子隔离结构620的隔离突出部601的弯曲表面的边缘的坡度角为20~60度。例如,第二子隔离结构620的隔离突出部601的弯曲表面的边缘的坡度角为30~45度。上述弯曲表面被XY面所截的图形为曲线,上述隔离突出部601的弯曲表面的坡度角可以指该曲线端点处的切线与平行于X方向的直线之间的夹角,或者隔离突出部601的曲线中点处的切线与平行于X方向的直线之间的夹角。第二子隔离结构的隔离突出部的弯曲表面的坡度角设置的较小,有利于降低第二电极在该隔离突出部断开的几率。
本公开实施例可以通过对第一子隔离结构和第二子隔离结构的厚度的设置,第二子隔离结构相对于第一子隔离结构的边缘突出的隔离突出部的平行于 衬底基板的方向的尺寸的设置以及对第二隔离结构的弯曲表面的坡度角的设置,可以使得发光功能层的部分材料填充在底切结构内,在使得隔离结构在断开电荷产生层的基础上,尽量不断开第二电极,保证第二电极具有较好的电学特性。

例如,如图20所示,像素限定图案400包括第二开口420,第二开口420被配置为暴露隔离结构600。例如,隔离结构600与第二开口420的边缘之间设置有一定的间隔。

例如,如图20所示,第一子隔离结构610被平行于XY面的平面所截的截面可以为梯形,梯形的上底与第二子隔离结构620的表面接触,梯形的下底与第三子隔离结构630的表面接触。当然本公开实施例不限于此,第一子隔离结构610被平行于XY面的平面所截的截面也可以为矩形。
例如,如图20所示,第二子隔离结构620和第三子隔离结构630被平行于XY面的平面所截的截面可以均为矩形。
例如,第一子隔离结构610和第三子隔离结构630的厚度之和与发光功能层的厚度可以为0.8~1.2。例如,第一子隔离结构610和第三子隔离结构630的厚度之和与发光功能层的厚度可以为0.9~1.1,通过将第一子隔离结构610和第三子隔离结构630的厚度之和设置的较小可以使得电荷产生层在第二子隔离结构620的隔离突出部601的位置处断开,而第二电极在该隔离突出部601 的位置处没有断开,保持连续。当然,本公开实施例不限于此,第一子隔离结构610和第三子隔离结构630的厚度之和可以大于发光功能层的厚度以使电荷产生层和第二电极均在第二子隔离结构620的隔离突出部601的位置处断开。

图23为根据本公开另一实施例的一示例提供的显示基板的局部截面结构示意图。图23所示示例中的显示基板与图20所示显示基板不同之处在于隔离结构的位置不同。图23所示显示基板中的衬底基板01以及有机发光元件100可与图1A至图9B所示实施例中的衬底基板01以及有机发光元件100具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。本示例中的其他膜层011可以与图1A至图9B所示实施例中的其他膜层011具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。图23所示显示基板中的平坦层500可以与图20所示显示基板中的平坦层500具备相同的特征,在此不再赘述。

例如,如图23和图24所示,在形成第一电极110后,在平坦层500以及第一电极110上形成像素限定膜,并对像素限定膜图案化以形成具有暴露多个第一电极110的多个第一开口110的像素限定图案400。
例如,如图23和图24所示,在形成像素限定图案400以及隔垫物012后,在像素限定部401上依次形成第三子隔离结构层、第一子隔离结构层以及第二子隔离结构层,然后通过干刻形成三层隔离结构图案,之后对位于中间层的第一子隔离结构图案进行湿刻(刻蚀液对第一子隔离结构图案的刻蚀选择比大于对第二子隔离结构图案和第三子隔离结构图案的材料的刻蚀选择比)以使第一子隔离结构图案的边缘相对于第二子隔离结构图案的边缘内缩以在第二隔离结构图案的边缘和第一子隔离结构图案的边缘处形成底切结构,从而形成隔离结构600。
图25为根据本公开另一实施例的一示例提供的显示基板的局部截面结构示意图。图25所示示例中的显示基板与图20所示显示基板不同之处在于隔离结构包括的层叠结构不同。例如,如图25所示,像素限定图案400包括被配置为包括第一电极110的第一开口410以及被配置为暴露隔离结构600的第二开口410,隔离结构600还包括位于第三子隔离结构630与衬底基板01之间的阻隔部640,阻隔部640与第一电极110同层设置。阻隔部可以起到阻隔隔离结构和平坦层的效果,防止形成隔离结构的过程中对平坦层造成损伤。
例如,第一电极110可以包括多层膜层,阻隔部640可以采用无机材料。例如,阻隔部640的材料可以与第一子隔离结构、第二子隔离结构和第三子隔离结构的至少之一的材料相同。
图25所示显示基板中的衬底基板01以及有机发光元件100可与图1A至图9B所示实施例中的衬底基板01以及有机发光元件100具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。本示例中的其他膜层011可以与图1A至图9B所示实施例中的其他膜层011具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。图25所示显示基板中的平坦层500可以与图20所示显示基板中的平坦层500具备相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
例如,如图25所示,沿垂直于衬底基板01的方向,阻隔部640的厚度与第一电极110的厚度之比可以为0.8~1.2。例如,阻隔部640的厚度与第一电极110的厚度之比可以为0.9~1.1。阻隔部640的厚度与第一电极110的厚度可以相等。
例如,如图25所示,阻隔部640的形状和尺寸可以与第一电极110的形状和尺寸均相同,但不限于此,阻隔部的形状和尺寸可以根据产品的实际需求进行设置。
例如,如图25所示,阻隔部640没有被像素限定图案400的像素限定部401覆盖,阻隔部640在衬底基板01上的正投影与像素限定部401在衬底基板01上的正投影没有交叠。例如,隔离结构600与像素限定图案400的像素限定部401之间设置有一定间隔。当然,本示例不限于此,阻隔部640也可以被像素限定部401覆盖。
例如,如图25所示,隔离结构600位于相邻子像素100之间,沿该相邻子像素100的排列方向,阻隔部640的尺寸可以大于第三子隔离结构620的尺寸。
例如,如图25所示,沿垂直于衬底基板01方向,第一子隔离结构610、第三子隔离结构630以及阻隔部640的厚度之和可以大于发光功能层的厚度,以使电荷产生层和第二电极均在第二子隔离结构620的隔离突出部601处断开。

例如,如图25和图26A所示,在平坦层500上形成电极层,并对电极层图案化形成第一电极110。例如,可以在形成第一电极110之前形成阻隔部640,也可以在第一电极110形成之后形成阻隔部640。
例如,如图25和图26B所示,在阻隔部640上依次形成第三子隔离结构层、第一子隔离结构层以及第二子隔离结构层,然后通过干刻形成三层隔离结构图案,之后对位于中间层的第一子隔离结构图案进行湿刻(刻蚀液对第一子隔离结构图案的材料的刻蚀选择比大于对第二子隔离结构图案和第三子隔离结构图案的材料的刻蚀选择比)以使第一子隔离结构图案的边缘相对于第二子隔离结构图案的边缘内缩以在第二隔离结构图案的边缘和第一子隔离结构图案的边缘处形成底切结构,从而形成隔离结构600。
例如,如图25和图26B所示,阻隔部640的材料不同于第一子隔离结构610、第二子隔离结构620和第三子隔离结构630的材料,以防止在形成第一子隔离结构610、第二子隔离结构620和第三子隔离结构630的过程中影响阻隔部640。
例如,如图25和图26B所示,在形成隔离结构600后,在隔离结构600以及第一电极110上形成像素限定膜,并对像素限定膜图案化以形成暴露第一电极110的第一开口410和暴露隔离结构600的第二开口420。
本示例中形成像素限定膜后的其他各膜层的工艺方法可以与图1A至图5D所示显示基板中形成第像素限定膜后的其他各膜层的工艺方法相同,在此 不再赘述。
例如,图11A至图26B所示各显示基板中的多个子像素的排列方式均可以与图10A至图10E所示的显示基板中的多个子像素的排列方式相同,且可以图11A至图26B所示隔离结构600可以位于图10A至图10E所示凹槽210的位置,例如图11A至图26B所示隔离结构600可以与图10A至图10E所示凹槽210具有相同的排列方式,可以图11A至图26B所示隔离结构600替换图10A至图10E所示凹槽210。
例如,在隔离结构位于平坦层中时,相邻子像素之间的像素限定部可以保留,也可以去除;在隔离结构位于像素限定图案的第二开口中时,相邻子像素之间的像素限定部可以保留。
本公开另一实施例提供一种显示装置,包括图11A至图26B所示的显示基板,通过在显示装置中相邻子像素之间设置隔离结构,可以使得电荷产生层在隔离结构的边缘断开,有利于降低相邻子像素之间产生串扰的几率。

如图27和图28A所示,第二子隔离部720包括相对于第一子隔离部710的边缘突出的突出部701,突出部701位于相邻子像素100之间。
如图28B所示,第二子隔离部720的至少部分侧表面与平行于第一子隔离部710和第二子隔离部720的接触面的平面的坡度角大于60度且小于120度,和/或,第二子隔离部720的至少部分侧表面与平行于第一子隔离部710和第二子隔离部720的接触面的平面的坡度角大于60度且小于120度。
例如,第一子隔离结构610的至少部分侧表面与平行于第一子隔离部710和第二子隔离部720的接触面的平面的坡度角大于70度且小于110度,和/或,第二子隔离部720的至少部分侧表面与平行于第一子隔离部710和第二子隔离部720的接触面的平面的坡度角大于70度且小于110度。例如,第一子隔离部710的至少部分侧表面与平行于第一子隔离部710和第二子隔离部720的接触面的平面的坡度角大于80度且小于100度,和/或,第二子隔离部720的至少部分侧表面与平行于第一子隔离部710和第二子隔离部720的接触面的平面的坡度角大于80度且小于100度。
上述第一子隔离部的至少部分侧表面与平行于第一子隔离部和第二子隔离部的接触面的平面的坡度角可以第一子隔离部远离衬底基板一侧的表面与第一子隔离部的侧表面之间的夹角,也可以为第一子隔离部面向衬底基板一侧的表面与第一子隔离部的侧表面之间的夹角;上述第二子隔离部的至少部分侧表面与平行于第一子隔离部和第二子隔离部的接触面的平面的坡度角可以为第二子隔离部远离衬底基板一侧的表面与第二子隔离部的侧表面之间的夹角,也可以为第二子隔离部面向衬底基板一侧的表面与第二子隔离部的侧表面之间的夹角。上述第一子隔离部的侧表面可以指第一子隔离部的与衬底基板之间具有一定夹角的表面,上述第二子隔离部的侧表面可以指第二子隔离部的与衬底基板之间的夹角具有一定夹角的表面。
图28A和图28B所示示例区别在于第一子隔离部710和第二子隔离部720的位置关系以及角度关系。
如图27至图28B所示,发光功能层130包括的多个膜层中的至少一层在隔离部700处断开。例如,发光功能层130包括电荷产生层133,电荷产生层133在隔离部700的边缘处断开。
本公开实施例在显示基板中相邻子像素之间设置隔离部,通过调节第一子隔离部和第二子隔离部的相对位置关系,或者第一子隔离部的侧表面的角度以 及第二子隔离部的侧表面的角度,可以使得发光功能层的至少一层膜层在第二子隔离部相对于第一子隔离部的边缘突出的突出部处断开,或者在隔离部的边缘处断开,有利于降低相邻子像素之间产生串扰的几率。
本公开实施例通过在显示基板中相邻子像素之间设置隔离部,可以使得电荷产生层在隔离部的边缘断开,有利于降低相邻子像素之间产生串扰的几率。
本实施例中的衬底基板01以及有机发光元件100可与图1A至图9B所示实施例中的衬底基板01以及有机发光元件100具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。本示例中的其他膜层011可以与图1A至图9B所示实施例中的其他膜层011具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。本示例中的平坦层500可以与图16至图26B所示平坦层500具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
例如,如图27所示,多个子像素10可以包括沿X方向排列的相邻两个子像素10。例如,该相邻两个子像素10中设置的多个隔离部700沿X方向排列。例如,图27示意性的示出相邻子像素100之间设置有至少一组隔离部,每组隔离部包括间隔设置的两个隔离部700,两个隔离部700沿该相邻子像素100的排列方向排列(例如X方向)且间隔设置,且两个隔离部700的突出部701彼此靠近,但不限于此,相邻子像素100之间还可以设置彼此间隔的三个隔离部或者彼此间隔的更多个隔离部。例如,第一子隔离部710的边缘相对于覆盖其的第二子隔离部720的边缘内缩以形成底切结构,第二子隔离部720的突出部701悬空设置。
例如,在上述相邻两个子像素10之间没有设置隔离部700时,该相邻两个子像素10的发光功能层130中的共通膜层(例如包括电荷产生层)为整层膜层。由于电荷产生层具有较高的导电率,对于具有高分辨率的显示装置而言,电荷产生层的高导电性容易导致相邻子像素10发生串扰。
本公开实施例提供的显示基板中,通过在该相邻两个子像素之间设置隔离部,可以使得形成在隔离部的突出部处的电荷产生层断开,此时,该相邻两个子像素的电荷产生层间隔设置,可以增加相邻子像素之间发光功能层的电阻,从而在降低该相邻两个子像素之间产生串扰的几率的同时,又不影响子像素的正常显示。
例如,如图27所示,沿该相邻子像素10的排列方向,所述两个隔离部700中的两个第一子隔离部710之间的间隔大于两个第二子隔离部720之间的间隔。

例如,如图28A和图30C所示,对第二开口420暴露的第一子隔离部图案7100的边缘进行湿刻以使的第一子隔离部图案7100的边缘相对于围绕第二开口420的像素限定部401的边缘内缩以形成底切结构。例如,开口图案420的边缘相对于无机层图案7100保留的部分的边缘形成突出部701。例如,对第一子隔离部图案7100进行湿刻后形成了第一子隔离部710。
例如,如图28A所示,后续形成封装层等膜层的工艺流程可以与图7所示显示基板中形成封装层等膜层的工艺流程相同,在此不再赘述。

例如,如图35所示,发光功能层中的多个子功能膜层中的至少一个在隔离部700所在的位置断开。该显示基板100还包括像素限定图案400;像素限定图案400部分位于第一电极远离衬底基板01的一侧;像素限定图案400包括多个第二开口420。
如图35所示,第二子隔离部720包括内凹结构,内凹结构位于第一子隔离部710的边缘,且向像素限定图案400凹入,第二子隔离部720为像素限定图案400的一部分。由此,发光功能层的至少一层在第二子隔离部的边缘处断 开。由此,通过在相邻的子像素之间设置上述的隔离部,该显示基板可避免发光功能层中导电性较高的子功能层造成相邻子像素之间的串扰。
例如,本示例中的第一子隔离部710的厚度较小,没有填充满第二子隔离部720形成的内凹结构。
另一方面,由于该显示基板可通过像素隔离部避免相邻子像素之间的串扰,因此该显示基板可在采用双层发光(Tandem EL)设计的同时,提高像素密度。所以,该显示基板可具有寿命长、功耗低、亮度高、分辨率高等优点。
在一些示例中,如图35所示,内凹结构在衬底基板01上的正投影与第二子隔离部720在衬底基板01上的正投影重叠。
图36为本公开一实施例提供的另一种显示基板的结构示意图。如图36所示,该内凹结构包括残留结构,该残留结构可以为第一子隔离部710中的一层膜层712。例如,第一子隔离部710包括膜层711和膜层712,突出部701相对于膜层712的边缘突出,膜层711和膜层712图案不同。
在一些示例中,如图36所示,膜层712的材料包括金属材料、金属氧化物或者无机非金属材料,例如可以为银或铝,也可以包括ITO、IZO等;膜层711可以为与发光元件的第一电极同层且材料相同的结构,例如,可以包括包括多层结构,例如包括ITO/Ag/ITO。
例如,本示例中的膜层711的厚度较小,没有填充满第二子隔离部720形成的内凹结构,膜层712填充了膜层711没有填充的内凹结构中的一部分,但是第一子隔离部710也没有将第二子隔离部720内凹结构填充满。
本公开一实施例还提供一种显示基板。图37为本公开一实施例提供的另一种显示基板的结构示意图。图37所示的显示基板提供了另一种像素隔断结构。如图37所示,该显示基板100还包括位于衬底基板01上的像素限定图案400;像素限定图案400部分位于第一电极110远离衬底基板01的一侧;像素限定图案400包括多个第一开口410和第二开口420;多个第一开口410与多个子像素一一对应以限定多个子像素的有效发光区;第一开口410被配置为暴露第一电极110,以便第一电极110与后续形成的发光功能层130接触。第二开口420位于相邻的第一电极110之间。
如图37所示,像素限定图案400的像素限定部可以复用为隔离部。本示例中的隔离部可以仅包括第二子隔离部720,没有包括上述示例中的第一子隔离部。由此,发光功能层的至少一个膜层在第二子隔离部所在的位置处断开。 由此,通过在相邻的子像素之间设置上述的第二子隔离部,该显示基板可避免发光功能层中导电性较高的子功能层造成相邻子像素之间的串扰。
图38为本公开一实施例提供的另一种显示基板的结构示意图。如图38所示,该第二子隔离部720形成的内凹结构中设置有第一子隔离部710,第二子隔离部720的边缘相对于第一子隔离部710的边缘向外延伸。
在一些示例中,如图38所示,该第一子隔离部710的材料包括金属、金属氧化物、有机物中的至少一种;上述的金属可为银,上述的金属氧化物可为氧化铟锌,上述的有机物可为氟基聚合物。
在一些示例中,当第一子隔离部710的材料为氟基聚合物时,由于平坦层的材料包括光致抗蚀剂、聚酰亚胺(PI)树脂、丙烯酸树脂,硅化合物或聚丙烯酸树脂的材料。因此平坦层的溶剂以非氟化有机溶剂作为主要成分,这些光致抗蚀剂虽然可能含有少量氟化,但未能达到基本可溶于氟化液或全氟溶剂的程度,因此可利用他们正交的特性(溶液和溶剂不会相互反应),可以利用刻蚀工艺形成上述的像素隔断结构。
例如,上述的氟基聚合物可为光敏氟基聚合物,该光敏氟基聚合物是一种类似负性光致抗蚀剂剂的聚合物,与常规光致抗蚀剂相比,这种聚合物氟含量40~70%,必须用全氟溶剂才能溶解如HFE7100、HFE7500等。而全氟溶剂不能溶解PLN(氟含量不足),并且氟基聚合物也不溶于PLN的溶剂,这两种光刻胶和其溶剂是正交的。
例如,上述的氟基聚合物的化学式如下所示:

其中,R1为烷基、H等,R2为含氟基团。
图39A-图39C为本公开一实施例提供的另一种显示基板的制作方法的步骤示意图,该显示基板的制作方法包括:
如图39A所示,在平坦层500远离衬底基板01的一侧形成第一电极110和牺牲结构702。需要说明的是,上述的残留结构(第一子隔离部)可为牺牲结构的一部分。
如图39B所示,在第一电极110和牺牲结构430远离衬底基板01的一侧 形成像素限定图案400。像素限定图案400包括多个第一开口410和第二开口420;多个第一开口410与多个第一电极110一一对应设置;第一开口410被配置为暴露第一电极110,以便第一电极110与后续形成的发光功能层130接触。第二开口420位于相邻的第一电极110之间,牺牲结构430被第二开口420部分暴露。
如图39C所示,以像素限定图案400为掩膜对显示基板进行刻蚀,以将牺牲结构430去除,以形成上述的第一子隔离部710。
图40为本公开一实施例提供的另一种显示基板的结构示意图。如图40所示,该显示基板还包括位于平坦层500上且与第一电极110同层设置的保护结构240;第一子隔离部710设置在保护结构240远离衬底基板01的一侧,且位于保护结构240的边缘。由此,保护结构240可在用于制作第一子隔离部710的刻蚀工艺中保护平坦层500,避免平坦层500被刻蚀。
在一些示例中,如图40所示,该显示基板还包括发光功能层130和第二电极120;发光功能层130位于第一电极110、像素限定图案400和保护结构240远离衬底基板01的一侧。由于隔离部的作用,发光功能层130会在隔离部所在的位置处断开,并形成断口;此时,后续形成的第二电极120可通过该断口与保护结构240相连,保护结构240可起到辅助电极的作用。
在该显示基板中,第二电极为多个子像素共用的电极,以向多个子像素提供阴极信号;即使整个显示基板中部分第二电极由于像素隔断结构或者其他原因而断开,保护结构作为辅助电极可将第二电极的断开的部分与其他部分相连。
图41A-图41C为本公开一实施例提供的另一种显示基板的制作方法的步骤示意图,该显示基板的制作方法包括:
例如,如图41A所示,在平坦层500远离衬底基板01的一侧形成第一电极110、保护结构240和牺牲结构430,保护结构240与第一电极110同层设置。保护结构240的材料与第一电极110的材料相同,保护结构240的材料与牺牲结构430的材料不同。
例如,如图41B所示,在第一电极110和牺牲结构430远离衬底基板01的一侧形成像素限定图案400。像素限定图案400包括多个第一开口410和第二开口420;多个第一开口410与多个第一电极110一一对应设置;第一开口410被配置为暴露第一电极110,以便第一电极110与后续形成的发光功能层 130接触。第二开口420位于相邻的第一电极110之间,牺牲结构430被第二开口420部分暴露。
例如,如图41C所示,以像素限定图案400为掩膜对显示基板进行刻蚀,以将牺牲结构430的去除,以形成上述的第一子隔离部710。
例如,在第一电极110、像素限定图案400和保护结构240远离衬底基板01的一侧形成发光功能层130和第二电极120。由于隔离部的作用,发光功能层130会在隔离部所在的位置处断开,并形成断口;此时,后续形成的第二电极120可通过该断口与保护结构240相连,保护结构240可起到辅助电极的作用。
例如,在该显示基板中,第二电极为多个子像素共用的电极,以向多个子像素提供阴极信号;即使整个显示基板中部分第二电极由于像素隔断结构或者其他原因而断开,保护结构作为辅助电极可将第二电极的断开的部分与其他部分相连。

(1)本公开的实施例附图中,只涉及到与本公开实施例涉及到的结构,其他结构可参考通常设计。
(2)在不冲突的情况下,本公开的同一实施例及不同实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
