在显示基板的像素电路的工艺制程中会产生静电,由于天线效应(例如,暴露的金属线或者多晶硅等导体,就像一根根天线,会收集电荷(如等离子刻蚀产生的带电粒子)导致电位升高),静电容易在长导线中聚集,导致在显示区域产生静电释放(ESD,Electro-Static Discharge)风险。在采用屏下摄像头技术的显示基板的像素电路的生产工艺制程中存在严重的ESD问题,会导致良率损失较大。

在一些示例性实施方式中,第一显示区的电路结构层还可以包括:位于第三导电层远离衬底一侧的第四导电层。第四导电层至少可以包括:数据线、虚设数据线和第一电源传输线。数据线可以与多个第一像素电路或多个第二像素电路电连接。第一电源传输线与多个像素电路电连接。虚设数据线与第二走线电连接。虚设数据线和第一电源传输线均与第三走线电连接。在本示例中,第二走线还可以通过虚设数据线与第一电源线电连接,可以在第四导电层提供静电导出途径。

图2为本公开至少一实施例的像素电路的等效电路图。本示例性实施例的像素电路以7T1C结构为例进行说明。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图2所示,本示例的像素电路可以包括六个开关晶体管(T1、T2、T4至T7)、一个驱动晶体管T3和一个存储电容Cst。六个开关晶体管可以分别为数据写入晶体管T4、阈值补偿晶体管T2、 第一发光控制晶体管T5、第二发光控制晶体管T6、第一复位晶体管T1、以及第二复位晶体管T7。发光元件EL可以包括阳极、阴极和设置在阳极和阴极之间的有机发光层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,驱动晶体管和六个开关晶体管可以是P型晶体管,或者可以是N型晶体管。像素电路中采用相同类型的晶体管可以简化工艺流程,减少显示基板的工艺难度,提高产品的良率。在一些可能的实现方式中,驱动晶体管和六个开关晶体管可以包括P型晶体管和N型晶体管。

在一些示例性实施方式中,如图2所示,显示基板可以包括:扫描线GL、数据线DL、第一电源线PL1、第二电源线PL2、发光控制线EML、第一初始信号线INIT1、第二初始信号线INIT2、第一复位控制线RST1和第二复位控制线RST2。在一些示例中,第一电源线PL1可以配置为向像素电路提供恒定的第一电压信号VDD,第二电源线PL2可以配置为向像素电路提供恒定的第二电压信号VSS,并且第一电压信号VDD大于第二电压信号VSS。扫描线GL可以配置为向像素电路提供扫描信号SCAN,数据线DL可以配置为向像素电路提供数据信号DATA,发光控制线EML可以配置为向像素电路提供发光控制信号EM,第一复位控制线RST1可以配置为向像素电路提供第一复位控制信号RESET1,第二复位控制线RST2可以配置为向像素电路提供第二复位控制信号RESET2。在一些示例中,在第n行像素电路中,第一复位控制线RST1可以与第n-1行像素电路的扫描线GL电连接,以被输入扫描信号SCAN(n-1),即第一复位控制信号RESET1(n)与扫描信号 SCAN(n-1)相同。第二复位控制线RST2可以与第n行像素电路的扫描线GL电连接,以被输入扫描信号SCAN(n),即第二复位控制信号RESET2(n)与扫描信号SCAN(n)相同。在一些示例中,第n行像素电路所电连接的第二复位控制线RST2与第n+1行像素电路所电连接的第一复位控制线RST1可以为一体结构。其中,n为大于0的整数。如此,可以减少显示基板的信号线,实现显示基板的窄边框设计。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。

下面对像素电路的工作过程进行说明。以图2所示的像素电路包括的多个晶体管均为P型晶体管为例进行说明。
在一些示例性实施方式中,在一帧显示时间段,像素驱动电路的工作过程可以包括:第一阶段、第二阶段和第三阶段。
第一阶段,称为复位阶段。第一复位控制线RST1提供的第一复位控制信号RESET1为低电平信号,使第一复位晶体管T1导通,第一初始信号线INIT1提供的第一初始信号被提供至第一节点N1,对第一节点N1进行初始化,清除存储电容Cst中原有数据电压。扫描线GL提供的扫描信号SCAN为高电平信号,发光控制线EML提供的发光控制信号EM为高电平信号,使数据写入晶体管T4、阈值补偿晶体管T2、第一发光控制晶体管T5、第二发光控制晶体管T6以及第二复位晶体管T7断开。此阶段发光元件EL不发光。
第二阶段,称为数据写入阶段或者阈值补偿阶段。扫描线GL提供的扫描信号SCAN为低电平信号,第一复位控制线RST1提供的第一复位控制信号RESET1和发光控制线EML提供的发光控制信号EM均为高电平信号,数据线DL输出数据信号DATA。此阶段由于存储电容Cst的第一电容极板为低电平,因此,驱动晶体管T3导通。扫描信号SCAN为低电平信号,使阈值补偿晶体管T2、数据写入晶体管T4和第二复位晶体管T7导通。阈值 补偿晶体管T2和数据写入晶体管T4导通,使得数据线DL输出的数据电压Vdata经过第二节点N2、导通的驱动晶体管T3、第三节点N3、导通的阈值补偿晶体管T2提供至第一节点N1,并将数据线DL输出的数据电压Vdata与驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压之差充入存储电容Cst,存储电容Cst的第一电容极板(即第一节点N1)的电压为Vdata-|Vth|,其中,Vdata为数据线DL输出的数据电压,Vth为驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压。第二复位晶体管T7导通,使得第二初始信号线INIT2提供的第二初始信号提供至发光元件EL的阳极,对发光元件EL的阳极进行初始化(复位),清空其内部的预存电压,完成初始化,确保发光元件EL不发光。第一复位控制线RST1提供的第一复位控制信号RESET1为高电平信号,使第一复位晶体管T1断开。发光控制信号线EML提供的发光控制信号EM为高电平信号,使第一发光控制晶体管T5和第二发光控制晶体管T6断开。
第三阶段,称为发光阶段。发光控制信号线EML提供的发光控制信号EM为低电平信号,扫描线GL提供的扫描信号SCAN和第一复位控制线RST1提供的第一复位控制信号RESET1为高电平信号。发光控制信号线EML提供的发光控制信号EM为低电平信号,使第一发光控制晶体管T5和第二发光控制晶体管T6导通,第一电源线PL1输出的第一电压信号VDD通过导通的第一发光控制晶体管T5、驱动晶体管T3和第二发光控制晶体管T6向发光元件EL的阳极提供驱动电压,驱动发光元件EL发光。
在像素电路驱动过程中,流过驱动晶体管T3的驱动电流由其栅极和第一极之间的电压差决定。由于第一节点N1的电压为Vdata-|Vth|,因而驱动晶体管T3的驱动电流为:
I=K×(Vgs-Vth) 2=K×[(VDD-Vdata+|Vth|)-Vth] 2=K×[VDD-Vdata] 2
其中,I为流过驱动晶体管T3的驱动电流,也就是驱动发光元件EL的驱动电流,K为常数,Vgs为驱动晶体管T3的栅极和第一极之间的电压差,Vth为驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压,Vdata为数据线DL输出的数据电压,VDD为第一电源线PL1输出的第一电压信号。
由上式中可以看到流经发光元件EL的电流与驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压无关。因此,本实施例的像素电路可以较好地补偿驱动晶体管T3的阈值电 压。
图3为本公开至少一实施例的显示基板的局部示意图。在一些示例中,如图3所示,显示基板的第一显示区A1可以包括:过渡区域A1a和非过渡区域A1b。过渡区域A1a可以位于第二显示区A2外的至少一侧(例如,一侧;又如,四周,即包括上下两侧和左右两侧)。
在一些示例中,第二显示区A2可以包括阵列排布的多个第二发光元件14。过渡区域A1a可以包括阵列排布的多个第一像素电路11和多个第二像素电路12,还可以包括:多个第一发光元件。过渡区域A1a内的至少一个第一像素电路11可以与至少一个第一发光元件电连接,被配置为驱动第一发光元件发光。第一发光元件在衬底的正投影与所电连接的第一像素电路11在衬底的正投影可以至少部分交叠。至少一个第二像素电路12可以通过导电线L(例如,透明导电线)与第二显示区A2内设置的至少一个第二发光元件14电连接,被配置为驱动第二发光元件14发光。例如,导电线L的一端可以与第二像素电路12电连接,另一端可以与第二发光元件14电连接,导电线L可以从过渡区域A1a延伸至第二显示区A2。第二像素电路12在衬底的正投影与所电连接的第二发光元件14在衬底的正投影可以没有交叠。在本示例中,第二显示区A2中的每个第二发光元件14均可以通过至少一条导电线L与过渡区域A1a内的第二像素电路12电连接。通过将驱动第二发光元件14的第二像素电路12设置在过渡区域A1a,可以减少像素电路对光线的遮挡,从而增加第二显示区A2的光透过率。
在一些示例中,导电线L可以采用透明导电材料,例如,可以采用导电氧化物材料,比如,氧化铟锡(ITO)。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在一些示例中,如图3所示,非过渡区域A1b可以包括阵列排布的多个第一像素电路11和多个无效像素电路15,还可以包括多个第一发光元件。非过渡区域A1b内的至少一个第一像素电路11可以与至少一个第一发光元件电连接,第一发光元件在衬底的正投影与所电连接的第一像素电路11在衬底的正投影可以至少部分交叠。
在一些示例中,如图3所示,过渡区域A1a和非过渡区域A1b还可以包括:多个无效像素电路15。通过设置无效像素电路可以利于提高多个膜层的 部件在刻蚀工艺中的均一性。例如,无效像素电路与其所在行或所在列的第一像素电路和第二像素电路的结构可以大致相同,只是其不与任何发光元件电连接。
在一些示例中,由于第一显示区A1不仅设置有与第一发光元件电连接的第一像素电路,还设置有与第二发光元件电连接的第二像素电路,因此,第一显示区A1的像素电路的数目可以大于第一发光元件的数目。在一些示例中,如图3所示,可以通过减小第一像素电路11在第一方向D1上的尺寸来获得设置新增像素电路(包括第二像素电路和无效像素电路)的区域。例如,像素电路在第一方向D1上的尺寸可以小于第一发光元件在第一方向D1上的尺寸。在本示例中,如图3所示,可以将原来的每a列像素电路通过沿第一方向D1压缩,从而新增一列像素电路的排布空间,且压缩前的a列像素电路和压缩后的a+1列像素电路所占用的空间可以是相同。其中,a可以为大于1的整数。在本示例中,a可以等于4。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如,a可以等于2或3。
在另一些示例中,可以将原来的b行像素电路通过沿第二方向D2压缩,从而新增一行像素电路的排布空间,且压缩前的b行像素电路和压缩后的b+1行像素电路所占用的空间是相同。其中,b可以为大于1的整数。或者,可以通过减小第一像素电路在第一方向D1和第二方向D2上的尺寸来获得设置新增像素电路的区域。

下面对显示基板的制备过程进行示例性说明。本公开所说的“图案化工艺”,对于金属材料、无机材料或透明导电材料,包括涂覆光刻胶、掩模曝光、显影、刻蚀、剥离光刻胶等处理,对于有机材料,包括涂覆有机材料、掩模曝光和显影等处理。沉积可以采用溅射、蒸镀、化学气相沉积中的任意一种或多种,涂覆可以采用喷涂、旋涂和喷墨打印中的任意一种或多种,刻蚀可以采用干刻和湿刻中的任意一种或多种,本公开不做限定。“薄膜”是指将某一种材料在衬底基板上利用沉积、涂覆或其它工艺制作出的一层薄膜。若在整个制作过程当中该“薄膜”无需图案化工艺,则该“薄膜”还可以称为“层”。若在整个制作过程当中该“薄膜”需图案化工艺,则在图案化工艺前称为“薄膜”,图案化工艺后称为“层”。经过图案化工艺后的“层”中包含至少一个“图案”。
在一些示例性实施方式中,显示基板的制备过程可以包括如下操作。
(1)、形成半导体层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,在衬底100上沉积半导体薄膜,通过图案化工艺对半导体薄膜进行图案化,第一显示区A1和周边区域形成半导体层20,如图9A至图9C所示。
在一些示例性实施方式中,衬底100可以为刚性基板,例如玻璃基板。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如衬底基板可以为柔性基板。
(2)、形成第一导电层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,在形成前述结构的衬底100上,依次沉积第一绝缘薄膜和第一导电薄膜,通过图案化工艺对第一导电薄膜进行图案化,形成覆盖半导体层20的第一绝缘层101,以及设置在第一绝缘层101上的第一导电层21,如图10A至图10C所示。
在一些示例中,形成第一导电层21后,可以利用第一导电层21作为遮挡,对半导体层20进行导体化处理,被第一导电层21遮挡区域的半导体层20可以形成晶体管的沟道区域,未被第一导电层21遮挡区域的半导体层20可以被导体化,即像素电路的七个晶体管的有源层的第一区和第二区均被导电化。
(3)、形成第二导电层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,在形成前述结构的衬底100上,依次沉积第二绝缘薄膜和第二导电薄膜,通过图案化工艺对第二导电薄膜进行图案化,形成第二绝缘层102,以及设置在第二绝缘层102上的第二导电层22,如图11A至图11C所示。
(4)、形成第三绝缘层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,在形成前述图案的衬底100上沉积第三绝缘薄膜,通过图案化工艺对第三绝缘薄膜进行图案化,形成第三绝缘层103,如图12A至图12C所示。第三绝缘层103可以开设有多个过孔,例如多个过孔可以分别暴露出半导体层20、第一导电层21和第二导电层22的表面。
(5)、形成第三导电层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,在形成前述图案的衬底100上沉积第三导电薄膜,通过图案化工艺对第三导电薄膜进行图案化,在第三绝缘层103上形成第三导电层23,如图13A至图13C以及图14A至图14C所示。
在本示例中,第一显示区A1的第三导电层23可以包括形成网状连接结构的第一走线231和第二走线232。第二走线232可以位于第二电路区A12。 第一走线231可以位于相邻像素电路行之间。第二走线232可以延伸至第二边框区域B2与第一电源连接线233电连接,还可以延伸至第一边框区B1与第一电源线26的第一子电源线261电连接。
在一些实现方式中,在制备第三导电层之前,第一导电层和第二导电层的长导线由于没有转接其他信号走线的途径,容易积累静电。在第一导电层和第二导电层通过第三导电层与晶体管的有源层连接时,由于有源层形成沟道处的阻值存在小电阻到大电阻的变化,静电容易在阻值变化处释放,导致击伤晶体管。本示例通过在第三导电层设置第一走线和第二走线,并与周边区域的第一电源线电连接,可以将第一导电层和第二导电层聚集的静电经由第一走线和第二走线传导至周边区域,避免显示区域产生ESD击伤晶体管,可以降低显示区域的ESD风险。例如,在制备第三导电层之前,工艺制程产生的静电聚集在第一发光控制晶体管的第二导电层处,在第三导电层制备完成后,静电可以经由第一走线接入第二走线中,再经由第二走线导入周边区域。而且,通过设置可以覆盖第一发光晶体管的有源层的沟道区域的连接电极、以及覆盖第一复位控制晶体管的有源层的沟道区域的连接电极,可以降低显示区域ESD风险。
在本示例中,在周边区域,设置位于第三导电层的第一初始转接线电连接第一初始周边走线与第一初始信号线,以及第二初始转接线电连接第二初始周边走线与第二初始信号线,可以有利于第二导电层中产生的静电通过第三导电层导出显示区域。例如,在制备第三导电层之前,工艺制程产生的静电会聚集在第一初始信号线和第二初始信号线上,在第三导电层制备完成后,静电可以经由第三导电层的第一初始转接线和第二初始转接线导入周边区域,从而避免产生ESD击伤晶体管。
(6)、形成第四绝缘层和第五绝缘层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,在形成前述图案的衬底100上沉积第四绝缘薄膜,形成第四绝缘层104;随后,涂覆第五绝缘薄膜,并通过图案化工艺对第五绝缘薄膜进行图案化,形成第五绝缘层105,如图15A至图15C所示。在一些示例中,可以在第五绝缘层105形成过孔或凹槽之后,再对第四绝缘层104进行刻蚀,形成第四绝缘层104开设的过孔或凹槽,以暴露出第三导 电层的表面。
(7)、形成第四导电层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,在形成前述图案的衬底100上沉积第四导电薄膜,通过图案化工艺对第四导电薄膜进行图案化,形成第四导电层24,如图5、图7和图8所示。
至此,制备完成第一显示区A1的电路结构层。第二显示区A2可以包括衬底100以及叠设在衬底100上的第一绝缘层101、第二绝缘层102、第三绝缘层103、第四绝缘层104以及第五绝缘层105。
(8)、依次形成至少一个透明导电层以及发光结构层,发光结构层可以包括:阳极层、像素定义层、有机发光层以及阴极层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,在形成前述图案的衬底基板上涂覆第一平坦薄膜,通过图案化工艺对第一平坦薄膜进行图案化,形成第一平坦层。在在形成前述图案的衬底上沉积透明导电薄膜,通过图案化工艺对透明导电薄膜进行图案化,形成透明导电层。透明导电层可以包括电连接第二像素电路和第二发光元件的透明导电线。随后,在形成前述图案的衬底基板上涂覆第二平坦薄膜,通过图案化工艺对第二平坦薄膜进行图案化,形成第二平坦层。随后,在形成前述图案的衬底基板上沉积阳极薄膜,通过图案化工艺对阳极薄膜进行图案化,形成阳极层。随后,在形成前述图案的衬底基底上涂覆像素定义薄膜,通过掩膜、曝光和显影工艺形成像素定义层。像素定义层形成有暴露出阳极层的多个像素开口。随后,在前述形成的像素开口内形成有机发光层,有机发光层与阳极连接。随后,沉积阴极薄膜,通过图案化工艺对阴极薄膜进行图案化,形成阴极层,阴极层分别与有机发光层和第二电源线电连接。在一些示例中,在阴极层上形成封装层,封装层可以包括无机材料/有机材料/无机材料的叠层结构。在另一些示例中,可以设置多个透明导电层,多条透明导电线可以排布在多个透明导电层中。相邻透明导电层之间可以设置至少一个平坦层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第一导电层21、第二导电层22、第三导电层23和第四导电层24可以采用金属材料,如银(Ag)、铜(Cu)、铝(Al)和钼(Mo)中的任意一种或更多种,或上述金属的合金材料,如铝钕合金 (AlNd)或钼铌合金(MoNb),可以是单层结构,或者多层复合结构,如Mo/Cu/Mo等。第一绝缘层101、第二绝缘层102、第三绝缘层103和第四绝缘层104可以采用硅氧化物(SiOx)、硅氮化物(SiNx)和氮氧化硅(SiON)中的任意一种或更多种,可以是单层、多层或复合层。第一绝缘层101和第二绝缘层102可以称之为栅绝缘(GI)层,第三绝缘层103可以称之为层间绝缘(ILD)层,第四绝缘层104可以称之为钝化层。第五绝缘层105、第一平坦层和第二平坦层可以采用聚酰亚胺、亚克力或聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯等有机材料。像素定义层可以采用聚酰亚胺、亚克力或聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯等有机材料。阳极层可以采用金属等反射材料,阴极层可以采用透明导电材料。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
本实施例的显示基板的结构及其制备过程仅仅是一种示例性说明。在一些示例性实施方式中,可以根据实际需要变更相应结构以及增加或减少构图工艺。例如,第一走线可以位于第二导电层,第二走线可以位于第三导电层,第一走线和第二走线可以通过第三绝缘层开设的过孔电连接。又如,第一电源线可以延伸至第三边框区和第四边框区,第一走线可以延伸至第三边框区和第四边框区,并与第一电源线直接电连接。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
本示例性实施例的制备工艺可以利用目前成熟的制备设备即可实现,可以很好地与已有制备工艺兼容,工艺实现简单,易于实施,生产效率高,生产成本低,良品率高。

在本示例中,在周边区域,设置位于第三导电层的扫描转接线和发光控制转接线,可以有利于第一导电层中产生的静电通过第三导电层导出显示区域。例如,在制备第三导电层之前,工艺制程产生的静电会聚集在扫描线、发光控制线、第一复位控制线和第二复位控制线上,在第三导电层制备完成后,静电可以经由第三导电层的扫描转接线和发光控制转接线导入周边区域,从而避免产生ESD击伤晶体管。
