如图13所示,基底10可以为背板,背板可以包括发光单元,发光单元可以发出蓝光,背板可以发出白光,在制备过程中,可以先制备背板(白光OLED基板),在基底10上形成辅助层,然后通过本公开中的方法在辅助层上的对应的像素区域形成量子点层。由于OLED本身发白光,在运用本公开中的方法制备量子点层时,可以在第一像素区域、第二像素区域和第三像素区域分别形成量子点层,先在第一像素区域形成第一量子点(红光量子点)以形成第一量子点层31,然后在第二像素区域形成第二量子点(绿光量子点)以形成第二量子点层32,最后在第三像素区域形成第三量子点(蓝光量子点)以形成第三量子点层33,背板发出的白蓝光经过第一量子点后第一量子点可以发出红光,背板发出的白光经过第二量子点后第二量子点可以发出绿光,背板发出的白光经过第三量子点后第三量子点可以发出蓝光,量子点层可以作为光转换层,将白光转换成其他颜色的光,进而可以形成全彩的发光器件。
如图14所示,基底10可以为背板,背板可以包括发光单元,发光单元可以发出蓝光,背板可以发出蓝光,在制备过程中,可以先制备背板(蓝光Micro LED基板),蓝光Micro LED中的发光材料可以包括氮化镓(GaN),在基底10上形成辅助层,然后在辅助层上的对应的像素区域形成量子点层, 可以通过本公开中的上述制备方法在第一像素区域形成第一量子点层31(红光量子点),然后在第二像素区域形成第二量子点层32(绿光量子点)。由于Micro LED本身发蓝光,在运用本公开中的方法制备量子点层时,只需要制备图案化的红色和绿色像素区即可,比如,在第一像素区域形成第一量子点以形成第一量子点层31(红光量子点),在第二像素区域形成第二量子点以形成第二量子点层32(绿光量子点),背板发出的蓝光经过第一量子点后第一量子点可以发出红光,背板发出的蓝光经过第二量子点后第二量子点可以发出绿光,量子点层可以作为光转换层,将蓝光转换成其他颜色的光,进而可以形成全彩的发光器件。
