示例的,如图2B所示,第一电极122位于量子点发光层126远离第二电极124的一侧。
可以理解地,第一电极122用于提供空穴,第二电极124用于提供电子。第一电极122提供的空穴和第二电极124提供的电子能够向量子点发光层126移动,并在量子点发光层126内复合发光,使得发光器件110能够发光。
在一些示例中,可以将第二电极124相对于第一电极122靠近驱动背板150的结构称为倒置结构,将第二电极124相对于第一电极122远离驱动背板150的结构称为正置结构。本公开的实施例以倒置结构(也即是第二电极124相对于第一电极122靠近驱动背板150)为例,进行举例说明。
由上述可知,量子点发光层126用于发出光线。在一些示例中,第一电极122为透明材质,使得量子点发光层126发出的光线能够穿过第一电极122向外发射。此时,发光器件110为顶发射结构。
在另一些示例中,第二电极124为透明材质,使得量子点发光层126发出的光线能够穿过第二电极124向外发射。此时,发光器件110为底发射结构。
在又一些示例中,第一电极122和第二电极124均为透明材质,使得量子点发光层126发出的光线能够穿过第一电极122和第二电极124向外发射。此时,发光器件110为双面发射结构。本公开的实施例以发光器件110为顶发射结构为例,进行举例说明。
在一些示例中,如图2B所示,显示面板100还包括封装层160。封装层160位于发光器件110远离驱动背板150的一侧,起到保护发光器件110的作用。

在一些示例中,量子点1261可具有核壳结构,也即是,量子点1261具有一个量子点核和围绕量子点核的量子点壳。通过调节量子点核的尺寸,能够对量子点发光层126发出的光线颜色起到调节作用,从而使得发光器件110能够发出不同颜色的光。
示例的,当量子点核的尺寸增加时,量子点1261具有较窄的能带隙,因此配置成发射波长较长的光。而当量子点的尺寸减小时,量子点1261具有较宽的能带隙,因此配置成发射波长较短的光。
在一些示例中,如图3A所示,多个发光器件110包括第一发光器件112和第二发光器件114,第一发光器件112用于发射第一颜色光,第二发光器件114用于发射第二颜色光。第一颜色光的波长大于第二颜色光的波长。
在一些示例中,第一颜色光为红光(波长约为600nm~700nm),第二颜色光为绿光(波长约为500nm~570nm)。
在一些示例中,第一发光器件112中的量子点1261的量子点核的尺寸,大于第二发光器件114中的量子点1261的量子点核的尺寸。
通过调节不同发光器件110(第一发光器件112和第二发光器件114)中,量子点1261中的量子点核的尺寸,使得第一发光器件112和第二发光器件114能够发射出不同颜色的光。
下面参照图3A~图3C,对发光器件110的结构进行举例说明。
由上述可知,如图3A~图3C所示,任一个发光器件110包括第一电极122、第二电极124和位于第一电极122和第二电极124之间的量子点发光层126。
在一些示例中,第一电极122的材料包括Mg和Ag。示例的,Mg和Ag的质量之比为2:8,使得第一电极122能够提供更多的空穴。第二电极124的材料包括ITO(英文全称:Indium Tin Oxide,中文名称:氧化铟锡),使得第二电极124能够提供更多的电子。
在一些示例中,如图3A所示,第一电极122的厚度h3的取值范围为8nm~12nm。示例的,第一电极122的厚度h3的取值范围可以为9nm~11nm或者9.5nm~10.5nm等。示例的,第一电极122的厚度h3的取值可以为9nm、10nm或者11nm等。
在一些示例中,如图3A所示,第二电极124的厚度h4的取值范围为50nm~100nm。示例的,第二电极124的厚度h4的取值范围可以为60nm~90nm或者70nm~80nm等。示例的,第二电极124的厚度h4的取值可以为60nm、70nm、80nm或者90nm等。
可以理解地,设置第一电极122的厚度h3的取值范围为8nm~12nm,第二电极124的厚度h4的取值范围为50nm~100nm,避免了第一电极122或者第二电极124的厚度过小(例如第一电极122小于8nm,或者第二电极124小于50nm),并且还避免了第一电极122或者第二电极124的厚度过大(例如第一电极122大于12nm,或者第二电极124大于100nm),使得第一电极122能够为量子点发光层126提供充足的空穴,第二电极124能够为量子点发光层126提供充足的电子,提高发光器件110的发光效率。
在一些示例中,可以采用旋涂量子点溶液、刮涂量子点溶液或者喷墨打印量子点溶液等方式,在第二电极124的一侧形成量子点发光层126。
示例的,量子点溶液可以为II-VI族半导体化合物(例如CdSe硒化镉、ZnTeSe锌碲硒等)、III-V族半导体化合物(例如InP磷化铟)、IV-VI族半导体化合物(例如PbS硫化铅)中的至少一个。在一些示例中,量子点溶液还可以为钙钛矿量子点溶液。
可以理解地,采用旋涂量子点溶液的方式形成量子点发光层126时,通过控制量子点溶液的浓度或者旋涂的转速等,能够对量子点发光层126的厚度h5起到控制作用。
在一些示例中,如图3A所示,量子点发光层126的厚度h5的取值范围为10nm~80nm。示例的,量子点发光层126的厚度h5的取值范围可以为20nm~50nm或者25nm~40nm等。示例的,量子点发光层126的厚度h5可以为20nm、30nm、40nm、60nm或者75nm等。
设置量子点发光层126的厚度h5的取值范围为10nm~80nm,避免了量子点发光层126的厚度过小(例如小于10nm)或者过大(例如大于80nm),提高发光器件110的发光效率。
在一些示例中,如图3B所示,显示面板100还包括空穴注入层(英文全称:Hole Injection Layer,英文简称:HIL)144。空穴注入层144位于第一电 极122和量子点发光层126之间。
在一些示例中,空穴注入层144的材料包括MoO
3(中文名称:三氧化钼)。
在一些示例中,在一些示例中,空穴注入层144的厚度h8的取值范围为2nm~20nm。示例的,空穴注入层144的厚度h8的取值范围可以为3nm~17nm或者5nm~10nm等。示例的,空穴注入层144的厚度h8的取值可以为5nm、8nm、10nm或者12nm等。
可以理解地,通过设置空穴注入层144,能够提高量子点发光层126中空穴的数量,从而提高发光器件110的发光效率。
并且,设置空穴注入层144的厚度h8的取值范围为2nm~20nm,避免了空穴注入层144的厚度h8过小(例如小于2nm),或者空穴注入层144的厚度h8过大(例如大于20nm),提高发光器件110的发光效率。
在一些示例中,如图3B所示,发光器件110还包括空穴传输层(英文全称:Hole Transport Layer,英文简称:HTL)146。空穴传输层146位于空穴注入层144和量子点发光层126之间。
可以理解地,空穴传输层146起到传输空穴的作用。故而,将空穴传输层146设置于空穴注入层144和量子点发光层126之间,能够提高第一电极122中的空穴的迁移率,也即是增大第一电极122中空穴向量子点发光层126中迁移的数量,提高发光器件110的发光效率。
在一些示例中,空穴传输层146为有机材料。
在一些示例中,如图3B所示,空穴传输层146包括第一空穴传输层1461和第二空穴传输层1462,第一空穴传输层相对于第二空穴传输层1462靠近量子点发光层126。
示例的,第一空穴传输层1461的材料包括TCTA(中文名称:4,4',4”-三(咔唑-9-基)三苯胺),第二空穴传输层1462的材料包括NPB(中文名称:N,N’-二(萘-1-基)-N,N'-二苯基-联苯胺)。
在一些示例中,如图3B所示,第一空穴传输层1461的厚度h6的取值范围为2nm~20nm。示例的,第一空穴传输层1461的厚度h6的取值范围可以为3nm~17nm或者5nm~10nm等。示例的,第一空穴传输层1461的厚度h6的取值可以为5nm、8nm、10nm或者12nm等。
在一些示例中,如图3B所示,第二空穴传输层1462的厚度h7的取值范围为10nm~50nm。示例的,第二空穴传输层1462的厚度h7的取值范围可以为15nm~45nm或者20nm~30nm等。示例的,第二空穴传输层1462的厚度h7的取值可以为20nm、25nm、30nm、35nm或者45nm等。
可以理解地,设置空穴传输层146包括第一空穴传输层1461和第二空穴传输层1462,并且,第一空穴传输层1461的材料包括TCTA,第二空穴传输层1462的材料包括NPB,能够增大第一电极122中空穴向量子点发光层126中移动的数量,提高发光器件110的发光效率。
此外,设置第一空穴传输层1461的厚度h6的取值范围为2nm~20nm,第二空穴传输层1462的厚度h7的取值范围为10nm~50nm,避免了第一空穴传输层1461或者第二空穴传输层1462的厚度过小(例如第一空穴传输层1461小于2nm,或者第二空穴传输层1462小于10nm),还能够避免第一空穴传输层1461或者第二空穴传输层1462的厚度过大(例如第一空穴传输层1461大于20nm,或者第二空穴传输层1462大于50nm),提高了第一空穴传输层1461和第二空穴传输层1462对于空穴的传输效率,增大量子点发光层126中空穴的数量,从而提高发光器件110的发光效率。
在一些示例中,如图3C所示,显示面板100还包括光耦合层148。光耦合层148位于第一电极122远离空穴注入层144的一侧。
示例的,光耦合层148的折射率与第一电极122的折射率不同。在一些示例中,光耦合层148的折射率大于第一电极122的折射率。
由于光线能够穿过第一电极122向外发射,故而,设置光耦合层148的折射率大于第一电极122的折射率,使得穿过第一电极122的光线能够照射至光耦合层148内,并穿过光耦合层148射出发光器件110,避免光线在第一电极122和光耦合层148的接触面发生全反射,从而能够提高发光器件110的出光率,提高光线利用率,增大发光器件110的亮度,降低显示面板100功耗。
在一些示例中,光耦合层148的材料包括NPB(中文名称:N,N’-二(萘-1-基)-N,N'-二苯基-联苯胺)。
在一些示例中,光耦合层148的厚度h9的取值范围为40nm~80nm。示例的,光耦合层148的厚度的取值范围可以为50nm~70nm或者55nm~65nm等。示例的,光耦合层148的厚度可以为55nm、60nm、70nm或者75nm等。
可以理解地,设置光耦合层148的厚度h9的取值范围为40nm~80nm,避免了光耦合层148的厚度过小(例如小于40nm)或者过大(例如大于80nm),提高了发光器件110的出光率,增大发光器件110的亮度,降低显示面板100的功耗。
由上述可知,第一电极122中的空穴和第二电极124中的电子传输至量子点发光层126,并在量子点发光层126中复合发光。但是,发光器件110中 电子的迁移率通常大于空穴的迁移率,导致电子和空穴的传输不平衡,造成量子点发光层126中电子的数量大于空穴的数量。
可以理解地,量子点发光层126中电子的数量大于空穴的数量,会造成电子和空穴在量子点发光层126中产生俄歇复合。也即是,电子和空穴复合后没有发光,而是将能量通过碰撞的方式,转移给另一个电子或者空穴,造成该电子或者空穴跃迁。
可以理解地,当电子和空穴产俄歇复合时,一方面,降低了发光器件110的发光效率,另一方面,俄歇复合会产生热量,导致量子点发光层126温度升高,影响量子点发光层126、以及与量子点发光层126相邻的其他膜层(例如电子传输层130和空穴传输层146)的寿命,从而影响发光器件110的使用寿命。
基于此,如图3A~图3C所示,任一个发光器件110还包括至少两层电子传输层130。至少两层电子传输层130层叠设置,且位于第二电极124和量子点发光层126之间。
可以理解地,至少两层电子传输层(英文全称:Electronic Transport Layer,英文简称:ETL)130起到传输电子的作用。故而,将至少两层电子传输层130层叠设置于第二电极124和量子点发光层126之间,使得电子能够通过至少两层电子传输层130向量子点发光层126传输。
这样一来,通过改变至少两层电子传输层130中,至少一层电子传输层130的材料或者厚度等,就能够对至少一层电子传输层130的电子迁移率或者能级起到调节作用,从而对传输至量子点发光层126中电子的数量起到调节作用,均衡发光器件110中电子的迁移率和空穴的迁移率,提高量子点发光层126中电子数量和空穴数量的一致性,减少电子和空穴在量子点发光层126中发生俄歇复合的情况,从而提高发光器件110的发光效率,延长发光器件110的使用寿命。
由上述可知,多个发光器件110包括第一发光器件112和第二发光器件114。第一发光器件112用于发射第一颜色光,第二发光器件114用于发射第二颜色光,第一颜色光的波长大于第二颜色光的波长。
在一些实施例中,如图3A~图3C所示,第一发光器件112中电子传输层130的数量,小于第二发光器件114中电子传输层130的数量。
可以理解地,通过调节电子传输层130的数量,能够对传输至量子点发光层126中的电子数量起到调节所用。
故而,设置第一发光器件112中电子传输层130的数量,小于第二发光 器件114中电子传输层130的数量,也即是,根据发光器件110的发光颜色(发光波长),有针对性地设置不同数量的电子传输层130。
这样一来,就能够分别调节不同颜色的发光器件110中,量子点发光层126中的电子数量,有针对性地提高不同颜色的发光器件110中,量子点发光层126中电子数量和空穴数量的一致性,从而有针对性地提高不同颜色发光器件110的发光效率,延长不同颜色发光器件110的使用寿命。
在一些示例中,如图3B所示,显示面板100还包括电子注入层(英文全称:Electron Inject Layer,英文简称:EIL)142。电子注入层142位于第二电极124和至少两层电子传输层130之间。
在一些示例中,电子注入层142为ZnO(氧化锌)薄膜。
在另一些示例中,如图3C所示,发光器件110也可以不包括电子注入层142。
图3D为根据又一些实施例的显示面板的结构图。
在一些实施例中,如图3D所示,第一发光器件112中的至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和h1,大于第二发光器件114中的至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和h2。
可以理解地,以第一发光器件112为例,第一发光器件112中至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和h1,为第一发光器件112中所有电子传输层130(两层、三层或者更多层)的厚度之和。
可以理解地,通过调节至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和,能够对传输至量子点发光层126中的电子数量起到调节所用。
故而,设置第一发光器件112中的至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和h1,大于第二发光器件114中的至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和h2,也即是,根据发光器件110的发光颜色(发光波长),有针对性地设置不同的至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和。
这样一来,就能够分别调节不同颜色的发光器件110中,量子点发光层126中的电子数量,有针对性地提高不同颜色的发光器件110中,量子点发光层126中电子数量和空穴数量的一致性,从而有针对性地提高不同颜色发光器件110的发光效率,延长不同颜色发光器件110的使用寿命。
图4为根据一些实施例的发光器件的亮度随电子传输层的厚度变化的曲线图。
示例的,本公开的实施例以第二电极124的材料为ITO,厚度为70nm,量子点发光层126的厚度为30nm,第一空穴传输层1461的材料为TCTA,厚 度为10nm,第二空穴传输层1462的材料为NPB,厚度为30nm,空穴注入层144的材料为MoO
3,厚度为7nm,第一电极122材料为Mg和Ag(Mg和Ag的质量之比为2:8),厚度为10nm,至少两层电子传输层130均为ZnO(氧化锌)薄膜为例,对发光器件110的发光亮度(也即是发光器件110远离驱动背板150一侧的出光强度)随至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的变化进行了仿真。
需要说明的是,图4中,横坐标为至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和,单位为nm,纵坐标为发光器件110的发光亮度,单位为坎德拉每平方米(cd/m
2)。
可以理解地,由于至少两层电子传输层130为ZnO薄膜,故而,此时可以将至少两层电子传输层130视为一层电子传输层130。
如图4所示,曲线a(虚线所示)为第一发光器件112正面的出光强度随至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和(也即是ZnO薄膜厚度)的变化曲线,曲线b(实线所示)为第二发光器件114正面的出光强度随至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和(也即是ZnO薄膜厚度)的变化曲线。
由图4可以看出,对于第一发光器件112和第二发光器件114而言,正面的出光强度随至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的变化曲线并不相同。如图4中曲线a所示,第一发光器件112在ZnO薄膜厚度为45nm左右以及190nm左右时,正面的出光强度较高。如图4中曲线b所示,第二发光器件114在ZnO薄膜厚度为20nm左右以及150nm左右时,正面的出光强度较高。
但是,ZnO薄膜的厚度(也即是至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和)过大或者过小,都会影响发光器件110的电学性能。
示例的,ZnO薄膜的厚度过小,会导致发光器件110的电流过大,电流效率(电流效率=发光亮度/电流密度)降低。相反,ZnO薄膜的厚度过大,会导致发光器件的启亮电压升高,电流降低,亮度降低,影响发光器件110的性能。
故而,需要综合发光器件110的光学特性以及电学特性,来设置至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的取值范围。
在一些实施例中,至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的取值范围为5nm~150nm。
可以理解地,至少两层电子传输层130中,各个电子传输层130的厚度可以相同,也可以不同。
在一些示例中,至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的取值范围为 10nm~130nm、20nm~120nm、50nm~100nm等。示例的,至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的取值可以为20nm、50nm、70nm、90nm或者130nm等。
可以理解地,设置至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的取值范围为5nm~150nm,避免至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和过小(例如小于5nm),导致发光器件110的电流过大,电流效率降低。并且,还能够避免至少两层电子传输层130的厚度过大(例如大于150nm)导致发光器件110的启亮电压升高,电流降低,亮度降低,影响发光器件110的性能。
可以理解地,设置至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的取值范围为5nm~150nm,能够在提高发光器件110的发光效率的基础上,满足不同的使用需求。
在一些实施例中,至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的取值范围为20nm~70nm。
示例的,至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的取值范围可以为25nm~65nm、30nm~60nm、40nm~55nm或者45nm~50nm等。示例的,至少两层电子传输层130的厚度的取值可以为35nm、45nm、55nm或者65nm等。
可以理解地,设置至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的取值范围为20nm~70nm,避免至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和过小(例如小于20nm),导致发光器件110的电流过大,电流效率降低。并且,还能够避免至少两层电子传输层130的厚度过大(例如大于70nm)导致发光器件110的启亮电压升高,电流降低,亮度降低,影响发光器件110的性能。
也即是,设置至少两层电子传输层130的厚度之和的取值范围为20nm~70nm,能够综合发光器件110的光学特性以及电学特性,来提高发光器件110的发光效率。

图9A为根据一些实施例的电流密度随电压的变化曲线图。图9B为根据一些实施例的发光亮度随电压的变化曲线图。图9C为根据一些实施例的外量子效率随电压的变化曲线图。
下面参照图9A~图9C,对本公开一些实施例中,第一发光器件112中第一电子传输层131和第二电子传输层132在不同厚度下,第一发光器件112的电流密度、发光亮度和外量子效率进行举例说明。
需要说明的是,图9A中,横坐标为电压(单位V),纵坐标为电流密度(单位:毫安/平方厘米,mA/cm
2)。图9B中,横坐标为电压(单位V),纵坐标为发光亮度(单位为坎德拉每平方米cd/m
2)。图9C中,横坐标为电压(单位V),纵坐标为外量子效率(英文全称:External Quantum Efficiency,英文简称:EQE)。可以理解地,EQE=出射的光子数/注入的电荷数。EQE越大,发光器件110的发光性能越好。
如图9A~图9C所示,组合1~组合4为不同厚度以及材料的电子传输层130的组合。

示例的,组合2、组合3和组合4中,ZnMgO中Mg的摩尔百分比为5%。
如图9A~图9C所示,第一发光器件112选用双层的电子传输层130(包括第一电子传输层131和第二电子传输层132,例如组合2、组合3和组合4)时,电流密度、发光亮度以及EQE均优于选用单层的电子传输层130(组合1),也即是,选用双层的电子传输层130时,第一发光器件112能够具有较好的发光性能。
可以理解地,由于选用双层的电子传输层130时,第一电子传输层131和第二电子传输层132中至少一个的材料为ZnMgO,通过Mg离子掺杂,能够起到阻挡电子的作用,降低第一电子传输层131或第二电子传输层132的电子迁移率,从而减小量子点发光层126中电子的数量,提高量子点发光层126中电子数量和空穴数量的一致性,从而提高第一发光器件112的发光效率。
此外,当第一电子传输层131的材料为ZnO,第二电子传输层132的材料为ZnMgO时,能够在第一电子传输层131和第二电子传输层132之间形成能级差,从而形成电子传输势垒,阻碍电子向量子点发光层126传输,平衡第一发光器件112中电子的传输能力和空穴的传输能力,从而提高第一发光器件112的发光效率。
如图9A和图9B所示,当电压增大时,选用组合2的第一发光器件112发光亮度增大,但是电流密度变化较小,使得电流效率(电流效率=发光亮度/电流密度)能够增大,并且,如图9C所示,选用组合2时,第一发光器件112的外量子效率EQE增大,提高了第一发光器件112的性能。
如图9A和图9B所示,当电压增大时,选用组合3的第一发光器件112发光亮度较小,并且电流密度较小,导致电流效率较小,并且,如图9C所示,选用组合3时,第一发光器件112的外量子效率EQE较小,影响第一发光器件112的性能。
如图9A和图9B所示,当电压增大时,选用组合4的第一发光器件112的电流密度和发光亮度均增大,导致电流效率减小,并且,如图9C所示,选用组合4时,第一发光器件112的外量子效率EQE较小,影响第一发光器件112的性能。
也即是,当ZnMgO薄膜的厚度从20nm提升至40nm时,第一发光器件112的电流降低,发光亮度也降低,第一发光器件112的性能低于组合2(第一电子传输层131的材料为ZnO,厚度为45nm,第二电子传输层132的材料为ZnMgO,厚度为15nm)。
故而,在一些实施例中,第一电子传输层131的厚度大约为45nm。和/或,第二电子传输层132的厚度大约为15nm。
由上述可知,如此设置,能够提高第一发光器件112的电流效率以及外量子效率,从而提高第一发光器件112的发光性能。

在一些示例中,Mg的摩尔百分比可以大于0,且小于或等于40%。在另一些示例中,Mg的摩尔百分比可以大于0,且小于或等于30%。在又一些示例中,Mg的摩尔百分比可以大于0,且小于或等于20%。

可以理解地,通过调节第二电子传输层132中Mg的摩尔百分比,能够对第二电子传输层132的电子迁移率、以及第二电子传输层132的能级(例如价带顶能级VBM和导带底能级CBM)起到调节作用,从而对传输至量子点发光层126中的电子数量起到调节作用,提高第一发光器件112中电子和空穴的传输平衡性,从而提高第一发光器件112的发光效率。
可以理解地,当第二电子传输层132中,Mg的摩尔百分比的取值范围为1%~20%时,Zn的摩尔百分比的取值范围为80%~99%。

如图10A和图10B所示,当电压增大时,选用组合7的第一发光器件112发光亮度较小,并且电流密度较小,导致电流效率较小,并且,如图10C所示,选用组合7时,第一发光器件112的EQE较小,影响第一发光器件112的性能。
可以理解地,如图10A~图10C所示,当第二电子传输层132中,Mg的摩尔百分比从5%提升至8%时,第一发光器件112的电流密度降低,但是发光亮度也大幅降低,导致第一发光器件112的电流效率和EQE降低。
也即是,当第一电子传输层131的材料为ZnO,厚度为45nm,第二电子传输层132的材料为ZnMgO,厚度为15nm,其中,ZnMgO中Mg的摩尔百分比为5%时,第一发光器件112具有较好的发光性能。

下面对发光器件110的制备方法进行举例说明。
在一些实现方式中,通常采用溶液法在第二电极124的一侧形成至少两层电子传输层130。示例的,采用溶液法形成至少两层电子传输层130,也即是,将形成电子传输层130的颗粒在溶剂中溶解,再将溶剂蒸发。
以采用ZnO薄膜作为电子传输层为例,示例的可以将ZnO颗粒溶解在乙醇中,将溶解后得到的溶剂涂覆(例如采用喷墨打印等方式)在第二电极124的一侧,并将乙醇挥发,得到ZnO薄膜。
本公开的发明人发现上述实现方式存下如下技术问题。
采用溶剂法制备得到的ZnO薄膜中,ZnO纳米颗粒存在大量的表面态(也即是ZnO纳米颗粒表面存在大量缺陷)。ZnO纳米颗粒中大量存在的表面态与量子点发光层126相互作用,捕获量子点发光层126中的电子,影响发光器件110的发光效率。
此外,当需要形成至少两层电子传输层130时,需要在形成一层电子传输层130之后,在该层电子传输层130远离第二电极124的一侧继续涂覆溶剂,以形成另一层电子传输层130。
为了便于描述,下面将先形成的电子传输层130定义为第一层电子传输层,将后形成的电子传输层130定义为第二层电子传输层。需要说明的是,第一层电子传输层和第二层电子传输层仅用于区分先形成的电子传输层130和后形成的电子传输层130,不对电子传输层130做进一步限定。
可以理解地,在形成第二层电子传输层时,需要将形成第二层电子传输层的溶剂,涂覆在已经形成的第一电子传输层远离第二电极124的一侧,这样一来,当形成第二层电子传输层的溶剂与形成第一层电子传输层的溶剂为非正交溶剂时,会导致形成第二层电子传输层的溶剂将已经形成的第一电子传输层再次溶解,造成已经形成的第一层电子传输层损坏,增大了至少两层电子传输层130的生产难度。
此外,采用溶剂法制备的ZnO薄膜中,ZnO为纳米颗粒状。示例的,ZnO纳米颗粒的直径约为5nm。这样一来,会导致ZnO薄膜的表面粗糙度(英文全称:Surface Roughness)较高。在一些示例中,采用溶剂法制备的ZnO薄 膜的RMS(英文全称:Root Mean Square,中文名称:均方根)表面粗糙度可以达到1nm~2nm。
并且,采用溶剂法制备的ZnO薄膜无法适配高分辨率显示,影响了显示面板100的显示性能。
基于此,本公开的实施例中,采用磁控溅射工艺,在第二电极124的一侧形成至少两层电子传输层130。
下面以第二电极124为ITO基板为例,对至少两层电子传输层130的制备方法进行举例说明。
在一些示例中,可以采用单靶溅射的方式形成第一电子传输层131。示例的,第一电子传输层131为ZnO薄膜。
示例的,使用去离子水、异丙醇分别超声清洗ITO基板15分钟,然后用氮气吹干,135℃烘烤干燥5分钟。使用紫外臭氧处理ITO基板10分钟,进一步清洗ITO基板表面附着的有机污染物,钝化ITO基板表面缺陷。
首先将清洗完毕的ITO基板传入磁控溅射腔室,当腔室气压达到5×10
-4Pa时开始通入氩气,氩气的流量为30sccm~60sccm(英文全称:Stard Liter Per Minute,中文名称:标准升/每分钟),示例的,氩气的流量可以为40sccm~50sccm。将腔室气压保持在0.4Pa~1Pa范围内,示例的,腔室气压可以在0.5Pa~0.6Pa范围内。
射频源的功率设置为20W~150W,示例的,射频源的功率可以为50W~100W。射频源开启5分钟(也即是启辉5分钟)之后打开挡板,使目标靶材沉积在ITO基板上。设定工艺时间结束后,溅射停止,将ITO基板从工艺腔中取出,使得ITO基板上能够沉积ZnO薄膜作为第一电子传输层131。
在另一些示例中,可以采用多靶溅射的方式形成第二电子传输层132。示例的,第二电子传输层132为MgZnO薄膜。
在清洗ITO基板之后,将清洗完毕的ITO基板传入磁控溅射腔室,当腔室气压达到5×10
-4Pa时开始通入氩气,氩气的流量为30sccm~60sccm(英文全称:Stard Liter Per Minute,中文名称:标准升/每分钟),示例的,氩气的流量可以为40sccm~50sccm。将腔室气压保持在0.4Pa~1Pa范围内,示例的,腔室气压可以在0.5Pa~0.6Pa范围内。
第一个射频源的功率设置为20W~150W,示例的,第一个射频源的功率可以为50W~100W。第二个射频源的功率设置为20W~150W,示例的,第二个射频源的功率可以为50W~100W。
第一个射频源和第二个射频源开启5分钟(也即是启辉5分钟)之后打 开第一个射频源和第二个射频源的靶挡板,使目标靶材沉积在ITO基板上。可以理解地,第一个射频源可以用于溅射ZnO,第二个射频源可以用于溅射MgO,使得Mg离子和Zn离子能够在ITO基板上沉积,形成MgZnO薄膜。
设定工艺时间结束后,溅射停止,将ITO基板从工艺腔中取出,使得ITO基板上能够沉积MgZnO薄膜作为第二电子传输层132。示例的,第二电子传输层132可以沉积在第一电子传输层131远离第二电极124的一侧。
可以理解地,通过控制溅射工艺时间、工艺腔室气压、以及射频源功率等,能够对沉积在ITO基板上的薄膜厚度起到控制作用。示例的,溅射工艺时间越长,薄膜厚度越厚。溅射功率越高,Ar离子轰击较强,则薄膜中颗粒(例如ZnO纳米颗粒或者MgZnO纳米颗粒)的尺寸增加,薄膜沉积速率增加。溅射气压增加,原子自由程降低,Ar离子能量减弱,轰击变弱,导致薄膜结晶度降低,生长速率降低。
可以理解地,通过重复上述步骤,即可得到层叠设置的至少两层电子传输层130。
可以理解地,采用磁控溅射的方式形成至少两层电子传输层130,一方面,能够减小电子传输层130中氧化物(例如ZnO)的表面态,从而减小电子传输层130中的氧化物与量子点发光层126之间相互作用,有利于降低界面缺陷引起的非辐射复合(例如俄歇复合)损失,提高发光器件110的发光效率。
另一方面,能够减小在后形成的电子传输层130,对在先形成的电子传输层130造成的影响,不易破坏在先形成的电子传输层130,从而能够灵活控制至少两层电子传输层130的厚度以及材料等,从而能够灵活控制第一发光器件112的光学特性以及电学特性,提高第一发光器件112中电子迁移率和空穴迁移率的一致性,均衡第一发光器件112中电子和空穴的传输能力,从而提高量子点发光层126中电子数量和空穴数量的一致性,提高第一发光器件112的发光效率。
再一方面,以第一电子传输层131为ZnO薄膜为例,采用磁控溅射工艺形成的ZnO薄膜中,ZnO不会或者仅仅少会量呈纳米颗粒状,从而,能够降低ZnO薄膜的表面粗糙度。在一些示例中,采用磁控溅射工艺形成的ZnO薄膜,RMS表面粗糙度可减小到0.5nm左右,提高发光器件110的发光性能。
又一方面,采用磁控溅射工艺形成至少两层电子传输层130,还能够匹配高分辨率显示,并且工艺简单,能够与驱动背板150的制备工艺适配,提高显示面板100的显示性能,降低显示面板100的生产成本。
下面以第一发光器件112为例,对发光器件110的制备方法进行举例说 明。
由上述可知,可以采用磁控溅射工艺,在ITO基板上形成电子传输层130。
示例的,在形成层叠设置的双层电子传输层130(包括第一电子传输层131和第二电子传输层132)时,可以将第一个射频源的功率设置为20W~150W,示例的,第一个射频源的功率可以为50W~100W。可以将第二个射频源的功率设置为20W~150W,示例的,第二个射频源的功率可以为50W~100W。
第一个射频源和第二个射频源开启5分钟(也即是启辉5分钟)之后打开第一个射频源的靶挡板,使第一电子传输层131沉积在在ITO基板上。示例的,第一个射频源可以用于溅射ZnO。5分钟~15分钟后,打开第二个射频源的靶挡板,第一个射频源和第二个射频源共溅射,使得第二电子传输层132沉积在第一电子传输层131远离ITO基板(也即是第二电极124)的一侧。
可以理解地,第二个射频源可以用于溅射MgO,第一个射频源和第二个射频源共溅射,使得Mg离子和Zn离子能够在ITO基板上沉积,形成MgZnO薄膜。5分钟~15分钟后,停止溅射。将沉积至少两层电子传输层130后的ITO基板从工艺腔中取出。
示例的,在形成第一电子传输层131和第二电子传输层132之后,可以采用旋涂的方式,在第二电子传输层132远离第一电子传输层131的一侧涂覆红色CdSe系量子点溶液。而后在加热平台或者烘箱中烘烤,烘烤的温度范围为80℃~150℃,烘烤时间为5分钟~30分钟。示例的,可以控制加热平台的温度为120℃,烘烤10分钟,以在至少两层电子传输层130远离第二电极124的一侧形成量子点发光层126。
将带有上述膜层的基板(第二电极124、至少两层电子传输层130和量子点发光层126)放入蒸镀机中,在5×10
-4Pa~4×10
-5Pa的真空度下,热蒸发沉积空穴传输层146、空穴注入层144以及第一电极122。
在一些示例中,在形成第一电极122之后,可以采用玻璃板覆盖第一电极122,并在第一电极122和玻璃板之间设置封装胶,通过紫外线照射的方式使封装固化,起到保护发光器件110(第一发光器件112)的作用。
在一些实施例中,如图3A~图3C所示,显示面板100还包括第三发光器件116。第三发光器件116用于发射第三颜色光。第二颜色光的波长,大于第三颜色光的波长。
示例的,第三颜色光为蓝光(波长约为400nm~470nm)。
可以理解地,可以理解地,第二发光器件114中的量子点1261的量子点 核的尺寸,大于第三发光器件116中的量子点1261的量子点核的尺寸。
通过调节不同发光器件110(第一发光器件112、第二发光器件114和第三发光器件116)中,量子点1261中的量子点核的尺寸,使得第一发光器件112、第二发光器件114和第三发光器件116能够发射出不同颜色的光,从而使得显示面板100能够实现全彩化图像显示。
在一些实施例中,第一发光器件112中电子传输层的数量,小于第三发光器件116中电子传输层的数量。
可以理解地,通过调节电子传输层130的数量,能够对传输至量子点发光层126中的电子数量起到调节所用。
故而,设置第一发光器件112中电子传输层130的数量,小于第三发光器件116中电子传输层130的数量,也即是,根据发光器件110的发光颜色(发光波长),有针对性地设置不同数量的电子传输层130。
这样一来,就能够分别调节不同颜色的发光器件110中,量子点发光层126中的电子数量,有针对性地提高不同颜色的发光器件110中,量子点发光层126中电子数量和空穴数量的一致性,从而有针对性地提高不同颜色发光器件110的发光效率,延长不同颜色发光器件110的使用寿命。
由上述可知,第一发光器件112中电子传输层130的数量,小于第二发光器件114中电子传输层130的数量。在一些示例中,如图3A~图3C所示,第二发光器件114中电子传输层130的数量,与第三发光器件116中电子传输层的数量相等。
由上述可知,第二电极124相对于第一电极122远离驱动背板150。在一些示例中,如图5A所示,第三发光器件116包括第三部分第一电极122c。示例的,多个发光器件110(包括第一发光器件112、第二发光器件114和第三发光器件116)的第一电极122为整层结构。第三部分第一电极122c为整层的第一电极122中的一部分。
第二部分第一电极122b远离驱动背板150一侧的表面与驱动背板150之间的距离d2,与第三部分第一电极122c远离驱动背板150一侧的表面与驱动背板150之间的距离d3相同或者近似相同。
如此设置,使得不同发光器件110中第一电极122(例如第二部分第一电极122b和第三部分第一电极122c)的厚度能够相同或者近似相同,也即是使得整层第一电极122在不同位置处的厚度能够相同或者近似相同,提高了第一电极122向不同发光器件110中的量子点发光层126传输空穴数量的一致性,从而提高多个发光器件110的可靠性。
在一些示例中,如图5B所示,填充层128还位于第三部分第一电极122c远离驱动背板150的一侧表面。填充层128远离驱动背板150一侧的表面,与第一部分第一电极122a远离驱动背板150一侧的表面平齐或者近似平齐,从而提高发光器件110的结构规整性。
图11为根据一些实施例的第二发光器件和第三发光器件的结构图。
在一些实施例中,如图11所示,第二发光器件114和第三发光器件116中,至少一个发光器件110的至少两层电子传输层130包括第三电子传输层133、第四电子传输层134和第五电子传输层135。
在一些示例中,如图11所示,第二发光器件114和第三发光器件116均包括第三电子传输层133、第四电子传输层134和第五电子传输层135。
在一些示例中,第四电子传输层134的电子迁移率,小于第三电子传输层133的电子迁移率。且第四电子传输层134的电子迁移率,小于第五电子传输层135的电子迁移率。
如此设置,能够减小至少两层电子传输层130整体的电子迁移率,减少量子点发光层126中电子的数量,提高量子点发光层126中电子数量和空穴数量的一致性,提高发光器件110的发光效率。
在一些示例中,第三电子传输层133的电子迁移率,和第五电子传输层135的电子迁移率相同或者近似相同。

在一些实施例中,如图11所示,第三电子传输层133、第四电子传输层134和第五电子传输层135沿第二电极124至量子点发光层126的方向,依次远离第二电极124。

由于第三电子传输层133、第四电子传输层134和第五电子传输层135沿第二电极124至量子点发光层126的方向,依次远离第二电极124,故而,如图12A所示,设置第三电子传输层133的导带底能级CBM3,小于第四电子传输层134的导带底能级CBM4,能够在第三电子传输层133和第四电子传输层134之间形成电子传输势垒。
或者,如图12B所示,设置第四电子传输层134的导带底能级CBM4, 小于第五电子传输层135的导带底能级CBM5,能够在第四电子传输层134和第五电子传输层135之间形成电子传输势垒。
这样一来,就能够阻碍电子向量子点发光层126传输,减少量子点发光层126中电子的数量,提高量子点发光层126中电子数量和空穴数量的一致性,从而提高发光器件110的发光效率。
在一些示例中,如图12A所示,第四电子传输层134的价带顶能级VBM4,小于第三电子传输层133的价带顶能级VBM3。并且,第四电子传输层134的价带顶能级VBM4,小于第五电子传输层135的价带顶能级VBM5。

如此设置,使得第六电子传输层136、第七电子传输层137、第八电子传输层138和第九电子传输层139之间能够形成电子传输势垒,阻碍电子向量子点发光层126传输,减少量子点发光层126中电子的数量,提高量子点发光层126中电子数量和空穴数量的一致性,从而提高发光器件110的发光效率。

在一些示例中,如图12D所示,第六电子传输层136的价带顶能级VBM12,小于第七电子传输层137的价带顶能级VBM13。第七电子传输层137的价带顶能级VBM13,大于第八电子传输层138的价带顶能级VBM14。 第八电子传输层138的价带顶能级VBM14,小于第九电子传输层139的价带顶能级VBM15。第九电子传输层139的价带顶能级VBM15,大于第十电子传输层146的价带顶能级VBM16。
由上述可知,在一些示例中,可以采用磁控溅射工艺,形成至少两层电子传输层130。下面对第三电子传输层133、第四电子传输层134和第五电子传输层135的制备方法进行举例说明。
在一些示例中,在形成层叠设置的三层电子传输层130(包括第三电子传输层133、第四电子传输层134和第五电子传输层135)时,可以将第一个射频源的功率设置为20W~150W,示例的,第一个射频源的功率可以为50W~100W。可以将第二个射频源的功率设置为20W~150W,示例的,第二个射频源的功率可以为50W~100W。

在一些实施例中,第三电子传输层133的材料包括ZnO、GZO、AZO、IZO、IGZO和ZnMgO中的任一个。第四电子传输层134的材料ZnO、GZO、AZO、IZO、IGZO和ZnMgO中的任一个。五电子传输层135的材料包括ZnO、GZO、AZO、IZO、IGZO和ZnMgO中的任一个。且第四电子传输层134的材料与第三电子传输层133的材料不同。和/或,第四电子传输层134的材料与第五电子传输层135的材料不同。
如此设置,使得第四电子传输层134的电子迁移率能够小于第三电子传输层133的电子迁移率,并且,使得第四电子传输层134的电子迁移率能够小于第五电子传输层135的电子迁移率。
此外,使得第三电子传输层133、第四电子传输层134和第五电子传输层135之间能够形成电子传输势垒,阻碍电子向量子点发光层126传输,提高量子点发光层126中电子数量和空穴数量的一致性,从而提高发光器件110的发光效率。
在一些示例中,当第三电子传输层133、第四电子传输层134和第五电子传输层135沿第二电极124至量子点发光层126的方向,依次远离第二电极124时,第三电子传输层133的材料包括ZnO,第四电子传输层134的材料包括ZnMgO,第五电子传输层135的材料包括ZnO。

而组合13、组合14和组合15中,当电压增大时,电流密度和发光亮度均增大,影响了第二发光器件114的外量子效率EQE和电流效率。
故而,在一些实施例中,当第二发光器件114包括第三电子传输层133、第四电子传输层134和第五电子传输层135时,第四电子传输层134中,Mg的摩尔百分比大约为8%。
由上述可知,如此设置,能够提高第二发光器件114的电流效率以及外量子效率,从而提高第二发光器件114的发光性能。
