图1为一种显示基板的示意图。如图1所示,显示基板包括平坦化层PLN、像素限定层PDL、电极E1、发光功能层FL以及电极E2。发光功能层FL包括电荷产生层(CGL)、空穴传输层HTL、发光层以及电子传输层ETL。图1示出了相邻子像素的发光元件EM1和发光元件EM2,发光元件EM1被配置为发红色光,发光元件EM2被配置为发绿色光。即发光元件EM1对应于发红色光的发光层R’,发光元件EM2对应于发绿色光的发光层G’。如图1所示,发光元件EM1和发光元件EM2的电荷产生层(CGL)可为一体结构,采用开口掩膜来制作。需要说明的是,为了图示清晰,图1仅示出了显示基板中的部分膜层,例如,显示基板还包括其他多个膜层,例如封装层等。
然而,随着产品分辨率的不断提高,显示基板中的像素间的像素限定层间距不断缩小,同时,由于发光元件中的电荷产生层(CGL)具有较强的导电性,当电荷产生层(CGL)设置为整面膜层时,相邻两个有机发光元件的电荷产生层(CGL)是连续膜层,容易使得相邻子像素之间(例如,在图1中虚线框所示出的位置)产生串扰,例如,在低灰阶下绿色子像素可能带动邻近的红色子像素发光。并且,现有的显示基板中,发光元件的发光区由像素限定层PDL所限定,当发光区的面积越大时,发光元件的发光强度越高,越有利于提升显示基板的显示性能。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种显示基板,包括:衬底基板、多个子像素、像素限定层以及平坦化层。多个子像素中的每个子像素包括发光元件,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;像素限定层包括主体部及多个开口,每个开口由主体部所限定,开口暴露第一电极的至少一部分;平坦化层设置在衬底基板和像素限定层之间,其中,主体部包括第一主体子部和第二主体子部,第一主体子部位于第二主体子部的靠近衬底基板的一侧,第二主体子部相对于第一主体子部突出,以形成隔断结构,多个膜层中的至少一层在主体部的隔断结构处断开;位于开口中的第一电极的远离衬底基板一侧的发光功能层在衬底基板上的正投影与位于主体部的远离衬底基板一侧的发光功能层在衬底基板上的正投影至少部分交叠。
本公开的实施例通过在显示基板中相邻子像素之间设置隔断结构,可以使得发光功能层的多个膜层的至少一层在隔断结构处断开,有利于降低相邻子像素之间产生串扰的几率,有利于满足高像素密度的排布需求,以提升基板的显示性能。
下面结合附图对本公开实施例提供的显示基板以及显示装置进行描述。
图2为根据本公开的实施例提供的显示基板的平面图。图3为本公开至少一个实施例提供的一种显示基板的截面图。
参考图2和图3,显示基板包括衬底基板01、多个子像素10、像素限定层100以及平坦化层110。例如,显示基板包括位于衬底基板01上的显示区A,显示区A内设置有多个子像素10,例如多个第一子像素010,多个第二子像素020以及多个第三子像素030,多个子像素10在显示区A内间隔排布,以形成多个像素行和像素列。
例如,平坦化层110可以为绝缘层,绝缘层的材料可以包括有机材料。例如,平坦化层110可以是包括至少一层的结构,例如,可以为包括两层的绝缘层,但不限于此。
结合图2和图3,多个子像素10中的每个子像素包括发光元件234,发光元件234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120和第二电极140,第一电极120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 括如图3所示出的电荷产生层133,以及位于电荷产生层133两侧的第一发光层131和第二发光层132。例如,发光元件234被配置为驱动子像素234发光。
如图3所示,像素限定层100包括主体部1001及多个开口1002,开口1002由主体部1001所限定,开口1002暴露第一电极120的至少一部分。平坦化层110设置在衬底基板01和像素限定层100之间,主体部1001包括第一主体子部10011和第二主体子部10012,第一主体子部10011位于第二主体子部10012的靠近衬底基板01的一侧,第二主体子部10012包括相对于第一主体子部10011的突出,以形成隔断结构10013。
如图3所示,发光功能层130中的多个膜层中的至少一层在主体部1001的隔断结构10013处断开,位于开口1002中的第一电极120的远离衬底基板01一侧的发光功能层130在衬底基板01上的正投影与位于主体部1001的远离衬底基板01一侧的发光功能层130在衬底基板01上的正投影至少部分交叠。
如图3所示,隔断结构10013包括凹槽10014,发光功能层130可延伸至凹槽10014中。
本公开的实施例通过将发光功能层130中的至少一层膜层在位于相邻子像素10之间的隔断结构10013处断开,有利于减轻相邻子像素之间发生串扰,以优化显示效果。
例如,如图3所示,平坦化层110可以采用透光的绝缘材料,以增强显示基板的投射率。
例如,如图3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,相邻子像素具有排列方向,该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,即上述方向就是X方向。
例如,如图3所示,发光功能层130可以包括层叠设置的第一发光层131、电荷产生层133以及第二发光层132,电荷产生层133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10通过在发光功能层130中设置电荷产生层133可以将发光亮度提高近一倍。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)、光耦合层CPL、和电子注入层(EIL)等。例如,上述膜层均为多个子像 素10的共用膜层,可以称为共通层。
例如,如图3所示,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,如图3所示,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,如图3所示,像素限定层100位于发光元件234的第一电极120远离衬底基板01的一侧,且像素限定层100包括多个开口1002以及围绕多个开口1002的主体部1001,多个发光元件234至少部分位于多个开口1002中。图3示意性的示出发光元件234的第一电极120远离第二电极140的一侧还设置有结构层011,例如,结构层011可以包括有源半导体图案所在层、栅线所在膜层、数据线所在膜层、多个绝缘层等膜层。例如,像素限定层100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3所示,像素限定层100的开口1002被配置为限定发光元件234的发光区。例如,多个子像素10的发光元件234可以与多个开口1002一一对应设置。例如,发光元件234可以包括位于开口1002中的部分,以及在垂直于衬底基板01的方向与主体部1001交叠的部分。
例如,如图3所示,像素限定层100的开口1002被配置为暴露发光元件234的第一电极120,且暴露的第一电极120至少部分与发光元件234中的发光功能层130接触。例如,当发光功能层130位于像素限定层100的开口1002中时,位于发光功能层130两侧的第一电极120和第二电极140能够驱动像素限定层100的开口1002中的发光功能层234进行发光。例如,上述发光区可以指发光元件234的有效发光的区域,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层100的开口1002的形状相同。
例如,如图3所示,像素限定层100的主体部1001包括第一主体子部10011和第二主体子部10012,第一主体子部10011位于第二主体子部10012的靠近 衬底基板01的一侧。例如,第一主体子部10011与第二主体子部10012是一体形成的,但不限于此。对于同一个主体部1001,沿X方向第二主体子部10012相对于第一主体子部10011突出,以形成隔断结构10013,由此,在第二主体子部10012的边缘构成了底切(undercut)结构。例如,形成底切结构后的主体部1001近似呈“蘑菇”的形状。
如图3所示,发光功能层130中的多个膜层中的至少一层在主体部1001的隔断结构10013处断开,例如,发光功能层130中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。此时,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,从而降低该相邻两个子像素之间产生串扰的几率,并且当该相邻子像素的发光颜色不同时,有利于实现显示基板的混色改善,降低功耗,并延长显示基板的寿命。
如图3所示,发光功能层130包括位于开口1002内的部分,以及设置在主体部1001远离衬底基板01一侧的部分。当发光功能层130在隔断结构10013处隔断后,对于位于开口1002中的第一电极120的远离衬底基板01一侧的发光功能层130,该部分发光功能层130的位于开口1002中部的厚度最大,而位于开口1002边缘的部分的厚度逐渐减小。
如图3所示,隔断结构10013包括凹槽10014,发光功能层130的两侧结构可延伸至凹槽10014中。位于开口1002中的第一电极120的远离衬底基板01一侧的发光功能层130与位于主体部1001的远离衬底基板01一侧的发光功能层130在衬底基板01上的正投影至少部分交叠。例如,对于位于位于开口1002中的第一电极120的远离衬底基板01一侧的发光功能层130,该部分发光功能层130在开口1002两侧的厚度逐渐减小的部分,与位于主体部1001的远离衬底基板01一侧的发光功能层130在衬底基板01上的正投影至少部分交叠,但不限于此。
参考图3,例如,在方向X上,在同一个开口1002中,发光功能层130的延伸至凹槽10014中的部分的最大尺寸为发光功能层130的最大尺寸的1/5-1/3。例如,在方向X上,上述尺寸为1/5-1/4。例如,在方向X上,上述尺寸为1/4-1/3。例如,在方向X上,上述尺寸为1/5-4/15。
例如,参考图3,当发光功能层130位于隔断结构10013的凹槽10014中时,该部分发光功能层130可以与主体部10013的侧壁10016至少部分交 叠,此时,第二电极140设置在发光功能层130远离第一电极120的一侧,且第二电极140通过发光功能层130与第一电极120间隔设置,以降低短路发生的几率。
例如,当相邻的两个子像素10之间的主体部1001形成隔断结构10013后,可以使得主体部1001在X方向上的最大尺寸减小,从而可以使得开口1002在X方向上的最大尺寸增加,像素限定层100的开口率变大,由此可以使得开口1002能够暴露发光元件130中更大面积的发光区,同时能够缩小像素间的像素限定层间距,以实现显示基板的高分辨率性能。
例如,如图3所示,第二主体子部10012的至少部分侧面与平行于衬底基板01的平面L1的最小坡度角β为60度-90度。
如图3所示,第二主体子部10012的至少部分侧面与平行于衬底基板01的平面L1的角度为坡度角,位于第二主体子部10012的边缘部分的侧面与平面L1的坡度角为最小坡度角β。
例如,最小坡度角β可以为60度-80度。例如,最小坡度角β可以为75度-95度。例如,最小坡度角β可以为70度-90度。例如,最小坡度角β可以为60度。例如,最小坡度角β可以为65度-75度。例如,最小坡度角β可以为65度-85度。例如,最小坡度角β可以为75度-85度。例如,最小坡度角β可以为80度-95度。例如,最小坡度角β可以为60度-70度。例如,最小坡度角β可以为60度。
例如,将第二主体子部10012的至少部分侧面与平行于衬底基板01的平面L1的最小坡度角β设置为60度-90度,可以有利于发光元件234中的至少一个膜层在隔断结构10013处断开,同时又不影响子像素10的正常显示,有利于提升显示基板的显示性能。
例如,如图3所示,沿相邻子像素10的排列方向,即X方向,开口1002的最小尺寸M1为第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2的1.2-1.5倍。也即,可以使得开口1002的开口面积尽量扩大,从而使得发光元件234的发光区面积增加,以增强显示效果。
例如,沿X方向,开口1002的最小尺寸M1可以为第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2的1.2-1.5倍。例如,开口1002的最小尺寸M1可以为第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2的1.2-1.4倍。例如,开口1002的最小尺寸M1可以为第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2的1.2-1.3倍。例如,开口1002的 最小尺寸M1可以为第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2的1.2-1.25倍。例如,开口1002的最小尺寸M1可以为第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2的1.2-1.35倍。例如,开口1002的最小尺寸M1可以为第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2的1.2-1.45倍。例如,开口1002的最小尺寸M1可以为第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2的1.3-1.5倍。例如,开口1002的最小尺寸M1可以为第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2的1.4-1.5倍。
例如,如图3所示,沿相邻子像素的排列方向(例如,X方向),第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸M3的0.4-0.8倍,在该范围内,可以使得第二主体子部10012相对于第一主体子部10011的突出程度更加适宜。
例如,如图3所示,沿垂直于衬底基板01的方向(例如,Z方向),第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸N1为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸N2的1-1.8倍。例如,当第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸N1大于第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸N2时,可以有利于发光功能层130中的多个膜层中的至少一层在主体部1001的隔断结构10013处断开。
例如,沿相邻子像素的排列方向,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸M3的0.4-0.7倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸M3的0.5-0.6倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸M3的0.4-0.6倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸M3的0.5-0.7倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸M3的0.5-0.8倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸M2可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸M3的0.4-0.8倍。
例如,沿垂直于衬底基板01的方向,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸N1可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸N2的1-1.6倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸N1可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸N2的1.2-1.6倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸N1可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸N2的1.3-1.6倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸N1可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸N2的1.2-1.4倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸N1可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸N2的1.3-1.5倍。例如, 第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸N1可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸N2的1.1-1.4倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸N1可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸N2的1.4-1.6倍。例如,第一主体子部10011的最大尺寸N1可以为第二主体子部10012的最大尺寸N2的1.4-1.5倍。
例如,如图3所示,第一电极120包括晶化的导电的金属氧化物。
例如,在形成主体部1001的过程中,包括热处理等过程。在热处理的过程中,第一电极120可以进行晶化,以防止在主体部1001进行刻蚀的过程受到影响。例如,经过晶化后的第一电极120可以减少在主体部1001进行湿刻的同时,受到湿刻溶液的影响,以保护第一电极120自身的固有特性。
例如,如图3所示,发光功能层130的位于第二主体子部10012远离衬底基板01一侧的部分在衬底基板01上的正投影,与发光功能层130的位于开口1002中的部分在衬底基板01上的正投影至少部分交叠。
例如,如图3所示,发光功能层130包括多个膜层,多个膜层在隔断结构10013处断开,从而使得多个膜层包括设置在第二主体子部10012的远离衬底基板01的一侧的部分,以及位于开口1002中的部分。例如,位于开口1002中的发光功能层130可根据断开位置及情况,延伸至开口1002两侧的凹槽10014中。由此,可以使得发光功能层130的位于第二主体子部10012远离衬底基板01一侧的部分在衬底基板01上的正投影,与发光功能层130的位于开口1002中的部分在衬底基板01上的正投影至少部分交叠。
例如,如图3所示,第二电极140的位于第二主体子部10012远离衬底基板01一侧的部分在衬底基板01上的正投影,与第二电极140的位于开口1002中的部分在衬底基板01上的正投影至少部分交叠。
例如,如图3所示,第二电极140位于发光元件130的远离衬底基板01的一侧,第二电极140的至少部分在隔断结构10013处断开,从而使得第二电极140包括设置在第二主体子部10012的远离衬底基板的一侧的部分,以及位于开口1002中的部分。例如,根据断开位置的不同,第二电极140位于开口1002中的部分可延伸至开口1002两侧的凹槽10014中,由此使得该部分第二电极140在衬底基板01上的正投影,与发光功能层130的位于开口1002中的部分在衬底基板01上的正投影至少部分交叠。
图4为本公开至少一个实施例提供的另一种显示基板的截面图。
例如,相比于图3示出的显示基板,在图4所示的显示基板中,发光元 件11中的发光功能层130与第二电极140的位于凹槽10014中的部分的最小厚度之和增大,且相邻两个主体部1001之间的的最小尺寸增大(例如,近似等于M1),由此,使得开口1002所暴露的发光元件234的发光区面积增大,从而可以增强显示效果。
例如,发光功能层130与第二电极140的延伸至凹槽10014中的部分的最小厚度之和可以为发光功能层130与第二电极140的最大厚度之和的1/3-1。例如,发光功能层130与第二电极140的延伸至凹槽10014中的部分的最小厚度之和可以为发光功能层130与第二电极140的最大厚度之和的1/2-1。发光功能层130与第二电极140的延伸至凹槽10014中的部分的最小厚度之和可以为发光功能层130与第二电极140的最大厚度之和的1/4-1/2。发光功能层130与第二电极140的延伸至凹槽10014中的部分的最小厚度之和可以为发光功能层130与第二电极140的最大厚度之和的1/3-1/2。
例如,在X方向上,开口1002所暴露的发光区的最大尺寸可以为开口1002的最小尺寸M1的75%-100%。例如,在X方向上,开口1002所暴露的发光区的最大尺寸可以为开口1002的最小尺寸M1的75%-95%。例如,在X方向上,开口1002所暴露的发光区的最大尺寸可以为开口1002的最小尺寸M1的80%-100%。例如,在X方向上,开口1002所暴露的发光区的最大尺寸可以为开口1002的最小尺寸M1的85%-95%。例如,在X方向上,开口1002所暴露的发光区的最大尺寸可以为开口1002的最小尺寸M1的70%-90%。如此设置,可以尽量增大开口1002所暴露的发光区的面积,以增强显示基板的显示效果。
图5为本公开至少一实施例提供的再一种显示基板的截面图。
例如,如图5所示,相比于图3所示出的显示基板,在图5所示的显示基板中的不同之处在于,隔断结构10013包括凹槽10014,发光功能层130延伸至凹槽10014中。显示基板01还包括残留部90,残留部90位于凹槽10014中,并且残留部90在衬底基板01上的正投影落入隔断结构10013在衬底基板01上的正投影中。
例如,如图5所示,残留部90可以是在形成主体部1001的过程中所留下的膜层结构。例如,在形成主体部1001时,需要通过设置额外的膜层以作为牺牲结构,并通过将牺牲结构去除掉以形成第一主体子部10011以及第二主体子部10012。在这一过程中,若牺牲结构未被完全去除,可形成如图5 所示的残留部90。如图5所示,残留部90在Z方向上的尺寸小于第一主体子部10011在Z方向上的尺寸,且残留部90在X方向上的尺寸小于凹槽10014在X方向上的尺寸,由此残留部90在衬底基板01上的正投影可落入隔断结构10013在衬底基板01上的正投影中。例如,残留部90在X方向上的尺寸可根据牺牲结构去除时间以及去除程度等因素决定,图5仅作为示意,但不限于此。
例如,如图5所示,对于任意子像素,残留部90在X方向上的最大尺寸不大于凹槽10014在方向X上的最大尺寸,且残留部90在衬底基板01上的正投影落入隔断结构10013的凹槽10014在在衬底基板01上的正投影中,以避免影响发光元件234的发光性能。例如,残留部90在Z方向上的最大尺寸可以与凹槽10014相同,也可以不相同。例如,位于不同子像素的凹槽10014内的残留部90的形态可以是不同的,取决于牺牲结构的去除时间以及去除程度,本公开的实施例对此不作限制。例如,残留部90在X方向上的最大尺寸为凹槽10014在方向X上的最大尺寸的1/6-1。例如,残留部90在X方向上的最大尺寸为凹槽10014在方向X上的最大尺寸的1/4-1/3。例如,残留部90在X方向上的最大尺寸为凹槽10014在方向X上的最大尺寸的1/4-2/3。例如,残留部90在X方向上的最大尺寸为凹槽10014在方向X上的最大尺寸的1/3-1/2。例如,残留部90在X方向上的最大尺寸为凹槽10014在方向X上的最大尺寸的1/3-2/3。
例如,在形成多个子像素的隔离结构10013时,牺牲结构的厚度可以设置为均匀的,并且牺牲结构的去除时间和去除程度也可以设置为相同的,以简化工艺流程,并提高子像素结构的一致性。当然,在实际的操作过程中,也可以根据实际的工艺条件进行灵活设计。例如,部分子像素中的牺牲结构可以完全去除,而部分子像素中的牺牲结构可以不完全去除,本公开的实施例对此不作限制。
例如,参考图5,当发光功能层130位于隔断结构10013的凹槽10014中时,该部分发光功能层130可以与凹槽10014内的残留部90至少部分交叠。此时,第二电极140设置在发光功能层130远离第一电极120的一侧,并通过发光功能层130与第一电极120间隔设置,并且,第二电极140与残留部不交叠,以减小电路故障发生的风险。
例如,当形成主体部1001时,在进行显影等步骤中,部分显影液也可能 未被完全利用或清除从而可以部分余留在例如,主体部1001的凹槽10014中。
由此,形成底切结构的主体部1001还具有改善残膜等结构的作用。

例如,如图7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X方向和Y方向均交替设置以形成多个第一像素行051和多个第一像素列052,多个第二颜色子像素101沿X方向和Y方向均阵列排布以形成多个第二像素行053和多个第二像素列054,多个第一像素行051和多个第二像素行053沿Y方向交替设置且在X方向上彼此错开,多个第一像素列052和多个第二像素列054沿X方向交替设置且在Y方向上彼此错开。例如,图7所示出的多个子像素的排列方式可以为Magic排列方式。
例如,本公开至少一个实施例提出的隔断结构可以适用于不同的像素排布结构中。如图8和图9所示出的子像素的排列方式以及发光区的形状与图7所示出的子像素不同。
例如,如图8所示,多个子像素10包括多个第三颜色子像素104、多个第四颜色子像素105以及多个第五颜色子像素106。图8示意性的示出第三颜色子像素104发红光,为红色子像素;第四颜色子像素105发蓝光,为蓝色子像素;第五颜色子像素106发绿光,为绿色子像素。多个第三颜色子像素104和多个第五颜色子像素106沿平行于衬底基板01的Y方向均交替设置以形成多个第三像素列061,多个第四颜色子像素105均匀设置于相邻的第三像素列061之间,以形成多个第四像素列062。第三颜色子像素104、第四颜色子像素105以及第五颜色子像素106的发光区的形状均为矩形,并且第四颜色子像素105的发光区的形状近似呈正方形。例如,图8所示出的多个子像素的排列方式可以为SRGB排列方式。

例如,在如图7-图9示出的显示基板中,每个子像素可以均被环形的隔断结构10013围绕,隔断结构10013也可以设置为无缺口的形式,此时,相邻的两个子像素之间的发光层的至少一个膜层在隔断结构处断开,以减小串扰发生的风险。例如,为使得第二电极的连续性,可通过导电的光耦合层CPL将不同子像素的第二电极相连,以形成共电极的结构。例如,在本公开的一些实施例中,环绕每个子像素的隔断结构10013也可以设置为包括至少一个缺口的形式,以利于第二电极在相邻子像素之间不发生断裂。
图10A为图7所示的显示基板中设置带有缺口的一种隔断结构的示意图;图10B为图7所示的显示基板中设置带有缺口的另一种隔断结构的示意图;图10C为本公开至少一个实施例提供的再一种显示基板的示意图。
例如,在本公开的一些实施例中,不同子像素的隔断结构10013的设置情况可以不同。例如,如图10A-图10B所示,对于同一个开口1002,像素限定层100中的隔断结构10013沿开口1002的周向可以设置为不封闭的环形,相邻发光元件234的第二电极140在不封闭的环形的缺口处至少部分相连,以保证相邻子像素之间的第二电极140的连续性。不封闭的环形的缺口的长度H可以为5-20微米。
参考图3和图10A,第一颜色子像素101、第二颜色子像素102以及第三颜色子像素103均包括设置为不封闭环形的隔断结构10013,每个子像素的隔断结构10013均围绕子像素的发光区设置,不封闭环形的隔断结构10013包括一个缺口。第二电极140在子像素的隔断结构10013处断开,并在相邻子像素的隔断结构10013的缺口处实现连接,以保证连接的连续性。
例如,在本公开的一些实施例中,不封闭环形的隔断结构10013可以为C型。
例如,参考图3和图10A,不封闭环形的隔断结构10013的缺口的长度H可以为15-20微米。例如,上述尺寸可以为10-20微米。例如,上述尺寸可以为8-15微米。例如,上述尺寸可以为5-15微米。例如,上述尺寸可以为10-15 微米。例如,上述尺寸可以12-25微米。例如,上述尺寸可以为16-24微米。例如,上述尺寸可以14-18微米。例如,上述尺寸可以为18-22微米。但不限于此,本公开的实施例对此不作限定。
例如,参考图3、图5和图10A,当子像素中的隔断结构10013包括残留部90时,残留部90位于隔断结构10013的凹槽10014中,对于同一个子像素的发光元件234,残留部90所围成的图形也可以是非封闭的环形。例如,在同一个发光元件234的周向上的不同位置处的残留部90的形态可以是不相同的。例如,不封闭的环形的残留部90也可以包括多个缺口。例如,不封闭的环形的残留部90的尺寸也可以是非均匀的,本公开的实施例对此不作限定。例如,不封闭的环形的残留部90的缺口长度可以为不封闭环形的隔断结构10013的缺口的长度的1/4-1。例如,上述尺寸可以为1/4-1/3。例如,上述尺寸可以为1/4-1/2。例如,上述尺寸可以为1/3-1/2。例如,上述尺寸可以为1/3-2/3。例如,上述尺寸可以为1/2-2/3。例如,上述尺寸可以为2/3-3/4。
例如,参考图3和图10B,对于同一个开口1002,像素限定层100中的隔断结构10013可以包括多个子部分,且多个子部分沿开口1002的周向呈环形设置,以围绕发光元件234的发光区。例如,围绕开口1002的隔断结构10013可以包括至少一个缺口,也即隔断结构10013未围绕子像素的发光区而形成完整的一圈。此时,相邻子像素10的发光元件234中的第二电极140可以在缺口处彼此相连,以利于施加相同的信号。例如,如图10B所示,对于相邻的子像素101和子像素102,二者的第二电极140可通过未形成隔断结构10013的区域实现连接,例如,可通过第一区100-1和第二区100-2实现第二电极140的连接,但不限于此。例如,第二电极140可以在子像素101中的像素限定层100中的任意一处未形成隔断结构10013的部分与子像素102中的像素限定层100中的任意一处未形成隔断结构10013的部分实现连接。
例如,在本公开的一些实施例中,为了降低第二电极140的断线风险。在隔断结构处,还可以采用二次掩模的方式,增设辅助连接电极以使得不同子像素的第二电极140相连,或者,也可以使得发光元件234中的其他膜层导电,例如可以使得发光元件中的光耦合层CPL导电。即,不同子像素的第二电极140可以通过导电的光耦合层CPL相连,但不限于此。
例如,参考图3、图10A和图10B,对于同一个子像素,隔断结构10013的至少部分边界和与其紧邻的子像素的发光区的边界轮廓大致相同。例如, 子像素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,围绕该发光区的隔断结构10013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。例如参考图3和图10,对于同一个子像素,由于主体部1001设置时,第二主体子部10012相对于第一主体子部10011在X方向上突出,以形成凹槽10014,因此,对于相邻的两个子像素,当二者之间的像素限定层100设置成隔断结构10013的形式时,在X方向上,该隔断结构10013在衬底基板上的正投影与每个子像素的发光区的中心在衬底基板上的正投影的最小距离将增加,也即该隔断结构10013在衬底基板上的正投影将更加远离每个子像素的发光区的中心在衬底基板上的正投影。由此,对于相邻的两个子像素,设置为隔断结构10013的形式的像素限定层在衬底基板上的正投影面积,小于未设置为隔断结构10013的形式的像素限定层在衬底基板上的正投影面积。因此,本公开的实施例通过设置隔断结构,可以在减小相邻子像素之间发生串扰的同时,还可以增大发光元件的发光区面积,以增强显示效果。
例如,参考图3、图10A和图10B,根据发光颜色的不同,例如,子像素101可以为第一颜色子像素101,子像素102可以为第二颜色子像素102。多个子像素10还包括子像素103,且子像素103的发光颜色与子像素101和子像素102不同,为第三颜色子像素103。例如,隔断结构10013可以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,隔断结构10013可以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,隔断结构10013可以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,参考图3、图10A和图10B,围绕一个子像素的发光区的隔断结构10013的数量可以包括四个。例如,四个隔断结构10013可以分别位于发光区的四个角部。例如,四个隔断结构10013可以分别平行于发光区的四个边部。例如,围绕一个子像素的隔断结构10013的数量可以包括3个。例如,同一个子像素的隔断结构10013可以位于发光区的角部,也可以位于平行于发光区的边部。隔断结构10013的设置位置以及数量可以根据实际版图的设计需求进行确定,本公开的实施例对此不作限制。
例如,如图10C所示,与图3所示出的显示基板相比,图10C所示的显示基板的不同之处在于,第二电极140在隔断结构10013处不断开。
例如,与图3所示出的显示基板相比,图10C所示出的显示基板中的主体部1001的凹槽10014在Z方向上的最大尺寸可以相对减小,但不限于此。
如图10C所示,发光功能层130在隔断结构10013处断开,第二电极140设置在发光功能层130的远离衬底基板01的一侧,第二电极140在隔断结构10013处连续设置。第二电极140位于主体部1001远离衬底基板01一侧的部分与第二电极140的位于开口1002内的部分连接为一体,并形成位于开口1002两侧的弯折区1401。例如,在同一个开口1002中,第二电极140的位于弯折区1401的部分的厚度小于第二电极140的位于开口1002中间部分的厚度。
例如,第二电极140的位于弯折区1401的部分的厚度小于第二电极140的位于主体部1001的远离衬底基板01一侧的部分的厚度,但不限于此。例如,第二电极140的位于弯折区1401的部分的厚度为第二电极140的位于主体部1001的远离衬底基板01一侧的部分的厚度的1/4-3/4。例如,上述尺寸可以为1/3-3/4。例如,上述尺寸可以为1/2-3/4。例如,上述尺寸可以为1/4-2/3。例如,上述尺寸可以为1/3-2/3。
由此,在图10C所示出的显示基板中,隔断结构10013的设置仅可将发光功能层130中的至少一个膜层断开,而不会破坏第二电极140的连续性,进而可以较好的保证相邻子像素之间的第二电极140正常连接。
需要说明的是,图10C所示出的第二电极140的连续状态仅是示意性的,在本公开的一些实施例中,根据工艺条件以及设计要求的不同,第二电极140的形态(例如,厚度)可以随之发生改变,对此不作限定。
图11为本公开一实施例提供的一种显示装置的示意图。
本公开的实施例还提供一种显示装置,包括上述任一显示基板。
如图11所示,该显示装置600包括显示基板500。显示基板500即为上述任一的显示基板。本公开的实施例中提及的显示基板,也可以称作显示面板。例如,显示基板可为柔性显示基板,但不限于此。
一方面,该显示基板(显示面板)通过在相邻的子像素之间设置隔断结构,并使得发光功能层中的至少一个膜层,例如,电荷产生层,在隔断结构所在的位置断开,从而避免导电性较高的膜层(例如,电荷产生层)造成相邻子像素之间的串扰。由此,包括该显示基板的显示装置因此也可避免相邻子像素之间的串扰,因此具有较高的产品良率和较高的显示品质。同时,通 过在显示基板(显示面板)中设置隔断结构,还可以增大发光元件的发光区面积,以增强显示效果。
另一方面,由于显示基板可在采用Tandem结构,以提高像素密度。因此,包括该显示基板的显示装置具有寿命长、功耗低、亮度高、分辨率高等优点。
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,本公开的实施例包括但不限于此。

例如,如图12至图20所示,在衬底基板01上形成平坦化层110之前,显示基板的制作方法可以包括在衬底基板01上制备其他膜层011。参考图6所示出的衬底基板,其他膜层011可以包括驱动结构层,驱动结构层包括多个上述像素电路21。例如,形成驱动结构层可以包括在衬底基板01上依次沉积第一绝缘薄膜和有源层薄膜,通过构图工艺对有源层薄膜进行构图,形成覆盖整个衬底基板01的缓冲层0114,以及设置在缓冲层0114上的有源层图案,有源层图案至少包括有源层212。依次沉积第二绝缘薄膜和第一金属薄膜,通过构图工艺对第一金属薄膜进行构图,形成覆盖有源层212的第二绝缘层0113,以及设置在第二绝缘层0113上的第一栅金属层图案,第一栅金属层图案至少包括栅极211和第一极板310。依次沉积第三绝缘薄膜和第二金属薄膜,通过构图工艺对第二金属薄膜进行构图,形成覆盖栅极211的第三绝缘层0112,以及设置在第三绝缘层0112上的第二栅金属层图案,第二栅金属层图案至少包括第二极板320,第二极板320的位置与第一极板310的位置相对应。随后,沉积第四绝缘薄膜,通过构图工艺对第四绝缘薄膜进行构图,形成覆盖第二极板320的第四绝缘层0111,第四绝缘层0111上开设有至少两个第一过孔N1,两个第一过孔N1内的第四绝缘层0111、第三绝缘层0112和第二绝缘层0113被刻蚀掉,暴露出有源层图案的有源层212的表面。随后,沉积第三金属薄膜,通过构图工艺对第三金属薄膜进行构图,在第四绝缘层0111上形成源漏金属层图案,源漏金属层图案至少包括位于显示区域的源极210和漏极213。源极210和漏极213可以分别通过第一过孔N1与有源层图案中的有源层212连接。
例如,参考图6、图12至图20,缓冲层0114、第二绝缘层0113、第三 绝缘层0112和第四绝缘层0111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。例如,第一金属薄膜、第二金属薄膜和第三金属薄膜采用金属材料,如银(Ag)、铜(Cu)、铝(Al)、钛(Ti)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Ti/Al/Ti等。有源层图案采用非晶态氧化铟镓锌材料(a-IGZO)、氮氧化锌(ZnON)、氧化铟锌锡(IZTO)、非晶硅(a-Si)、多晶硅(p-Si)、六噻吩、聚噻吩等一种或多种材料,即本公开适用于基于氧化物(Oxide)技术、硅技术以及有机物技术制造的晶体管。

例如,参考图6、图12至图14,在平坦化层110上沉积第一导电薄膜012,并对第一导电薄膜012进行构图,以形成第一电极120。例如,第一电极120通过平坦化层110中的第二过孔N2与晶体管21的漏极213连接。
例如,参考图12至图16,在第一电极120上形成第二导电薄膜013,并对第二导电薄膜013进行构图,以形成牺牲结构150。
例如,第一导电薄膜的材料包括导电的金属氧化物,第二导电薄膜的材料包括金属材料。例如,导电的金属氧化物包括氧化铟锡,金属包括铝或银。例如,第一导电薄膜或第二导电薄膜可以是单层结构,或者多层复合结构。
例如,牺牲结构150可以采用铝(Al)、银(Ag)以及钛(Ti)/铝(Al)/钛(Ti)形成的金属叠层中的任意一种。
例如,参考图12至图16,在形成第一电极120时,还包括通过构图工艺形成位于相邻第一电极120之间的第一间隔区1210。例如,第一间隔区1210可以将相邻子像素的第一电极120隔开。
例如,参考图6、图12至图16,在形成第一电极150时,还包括通过构图工艺形成位于相邻牺牲结构150之间的第二间隔区1510,沿X方向,第一间隔区1210在衬底基板01上的正投影落入第二间隔区1510在衬底基板上的 正投影中,且使得第二间隔区1510的最小尺寸大于或等于第一间隔区的最小尺寸,由此,可以使得第一主体子部10011在X方向上的最小尺寸大于第一间隔区1210的尺寸,以使得主体部1001的结构更加稳固。
例如,参考图6、图12至图16,对像素限定薄膜014进行构图后,形成的像素限定层100包括多个开口1002,沿相邻子像素的排列方向(即沿X方向),开口1002的最小尺寸小于牺牲结构150的最小尺寸,并且开口1002在衬底基板01上的正投影落入牺牲结构150在衬底基板01上的正投影中。由此,可以使得在后续去除牺牲结构150后,在主体部1001中可以形成底切结构。在X方向上,例如,开口1002的最小尺寸可以是牺牲结构150的最小尺寸的50%-95%。例如,开口1002的最小尺寸可以是牺牲结构150的最小尺寸的60%-85%。例如,开口1002的最小尺寸可以是牺牲结构150的最小尺寸的70%-80%。
例如,参考图6、图12至图18,在形成像素限定层100时,还包括形成位于像素限定层100远离衬底基板一侧的支撑结构10016,其中,支撑结构10016在衬底基板01上的正投影与第二间隔区1510在衬底基板01上的正投影至少部分交叠。例如,支撑结构10016可以与主体部1001一体形成,并采用相同的材质,并被配置为在显示基板的蒸镀过程中支撑FMM(高精度掩膜板)。
例如,参考图6、图12至图19,第二导电薄膜013的厚度为第一导电薄膜012的厚度的1-3倍;像素限定薄膜014的厚度为第二导电薄膜013的厚度的3-8倍。也即,可以使得第一主体子部10011的厚度约为第一电极120的厚度的1-3倍,并使得主体部1001的厚度为牺牲结构150厚度的3-8倍。由此,可以根据实际的版图设计需求,使得主体部形成有效的隔断结构10013,以将发光功能层中的至少一个膜层断开。
例如,第二导电薄膜013的厚度为第一导电薄膜012的厚度的1.5-3倍;像素限定薄膜014的厚度为第二导电薄膜013的厚度的5-8倍。例如,第二导电薄膜013的厚度为第一导电薄膜012的厚度的1.5-2.5倍;像素限定薄膜014的厚度为第二导电薄膜013的厚度的4-7倍。例如,第二导电薄膜013的厚度为第一导电薄膜012的厚度的1.8-2.5倍;像素限定薄膜014的厚度为第二导电薄膜013的厚度的4.5-6.5倍。例如,第二导电薄膜013的厚度为第一导电薄膜012的厚度的2-2.5倍;像素限定薄膜014的厚度为第二导电薄膜013的 厚度的4.5-6.5倍。例如,第二导电薄膜013的厚度为第一导电薄膜012的厚度的2.5-3倍;像素限定薄膜014的厚度为第二导电薄膜013的厚度的5.5-7.5倍。
例如,参考图6、图12至图19,在形成牺牲结构150之后,并在去除牺牲结构150之前,制作方法还包括:对显示基板01进行热处理,以使得第一电极120晶化。
例如,参考图6、图12至图19,去除牺牲结构150可以采用湿刻工艺对牺牲结构150进行刻蚀去除。
例如,参考图6、图12至图19,对显示基板01进行热处理的过程中,第一电极120(例如,采用氧化铟锡的第一电极)将在高温下进行晶化,从而在后续去除牺牲结构150的过程中,可以减少被刻蚀溶液一并刻蚀去除的风险。
例如,参考图6、图12至图19,当第二导电薄膜013的材料采用铝或银等金属时,采用湿刻工艺对牺牲结构150进行刻蚀去除时可以使用酸性刻蚀液对由金属制成的中间膜层(即牺牲机构150)进行刻蚀。例如,酸性刻蚀液可以包括HNO 3(硝酸)等材料,但不限于此,本公开的实施例对此不作限定。
例如,参考图6、图12至图19,在去除牺牲结构150时,可根据实际的工艺要求,可以对牺牲结构150的去除时间和去除程度进行控制。例如,可以相对保留性的设置去除时间和去除程度,使得牺牲结构150也可以不完全被去除掉,而是可以具有一定的残留部90(如图5所示),残留部90可以位于凹槽10014中,而不至于影响显示基板的发光性能。
例如,参考图6、图12至图19,形成发光功能层130时,发光功能层130的多个膜层中的至少一层在隔断结构10013处断开,一部分发光功能层130设置在主体部1001的远离衬底基板01的一侧,一部分发光功能层130位于开口1002中,并延伸至凹槽10014中。例如,第二电极140设置在发光功能层130的远离衬底基板的一侧,且第二电极140可以是在隔断结构10013处未断开的,以保证在相邻子像素10之间的连续性。
例如,参考图6、图12至图19,显示基板的制作方法还包括形成封装层41,即在第二电极140的远离衬底基板01的一侧依次形成第一封装层411、第二封装层412、以及第三封装层413,以使得显示基板具有良好的封装效果,防止水汽或杂质的侵入。
有以下几点需要说明:
(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。
以上所述仅是本公开的示范性实施方式,而非用于限制本公开的保护范围,本公开的保护范围由所附的权利要求确定。
