具体实施方式
下面将详细描述本申请的各个方面的特征和示例性实施例,为了使本申请的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及具体实施例,对本申请进行进一步详细描述。应理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅被配置为解释本申请,并不被配置为限定本申请。对于本领域技术人员来说,本申请可以在不需要这些具体细节中的一些细节的情况下实施。下面对实施例的描述仅仅是为了通过示出本申请的示例来提供对本申请更好的理解。
在诸如手机和平板电脑等电子设备上,需要在设置显示面板的一侧集成诸如前置摄像头、红外光传感器、接近光传感器等感光组件。在一些实施例中,可以在上述电子设备上设置透光显示区,将感光组件设置在透光显示区背面,在保证感光组件正常工作的情况下,实现电子设备的全面屏显示。
为了提高透光区的透光率,在一些相关技术中,对公共电极进行了图案化处理。令公共电极在显示面板的透光区域内形成镂空,以提高公共电极的透光率,进而能够提高显示面板的透光区域的透光率。相关技术中一般采用激光灰化等手段实现公共电极的图案化处理。
然而在相关技术中利用激光灰化对公共电极进行图案化处理时,通常是在衬底上形成阵列基板、发光层和公共电极后,从衬底背离阵列基板的一侧对公共电极进行激光照射,利用阵列基板内的遮光金属层作为掩膜板,对公共电极进行激光刻蚀,以实现公共电极的图形化处理。发明人发现,在对公共电极进行激光刻蚀以实现图案化处理后,公共电极的边缘容易内翻,对后续的薄膜封装等工艺造成影响,影响封装工艺的可靠性。
为解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供了一种显示面板、显示装置及显示面板的制备方法,以下将结合附图对显示面板、显示装置及显示面板的制备方法的各实施例进行说明。
本申请实施例提供一种显示面板,该显示面板可以是有机发光二极管(Organic Light Emitting Diode,OLED)显示面板。
请一并参阅图1和图2,图1是本申请第一方面实施例提供的一种显示面板的结构示意图,图2是图1中A-A处的剖视图。
如图1和图2所示,本申请第一方面实施例提供的显示面板10包括阵列基板100和设置于阵 列基板100上的第一电极层200、像素定义层300和第二电极层400。阵列基板100包括第一遮挡层500,第一遮挡层500包括第一通孔510;第一电极层200位于阵列基板100的一侧,第一电极层200包括像素电极210;像素定义层300包括隔离部310和由隔离部310围合形成的像素开口320,至少部分像素电极210由像素开口320露出;第二电极层400位于像素定义层300背离阵列基板100的一侧,第二电极层400包括第二电极410和开口420,第二电极410包括本体部430及自本体部430延伸且朝向开口420设置的边缘部440,开口420和像素电极210在阵列基板100上的正投影错位设置;第一通孔510在显示面板的厚度方向上的正投影与开口420在显示面板的厚度方向上的正投影重叠。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图2所示,第二电极410的本体部430接触于像素定义层300,第二电极410的边缘部440也接触于像素定义层300,边缘部440与像素定义层300之间的粘附力大于本体部430与像素定义层300之间的粘附力。可选的,可对边缘部440对应的像素定义层300的部分表面进行等离子体轰击处理,使得边缘部440对应的像素定义层300的部分表面的粗糙度上升,从而使得边缘部440与像素定义层300之间的粘附力大于本体部430与像素定义层300之间的粘附力。
根据本申请实施例的显示面板10,显示面板10包括阵列基板100和设置于阵列基板100上的第一电极层200、像素定义层300和第二电极层400。第一电极层200包括像素电极210,第二电极层400包括第二电极410和开口420,第二电极410包括本体部430及自本体部430延伸且朝向开口420设置的边缘部440。第一遮挡层500包括第一通孔510,且第一遮挡层500位于阵列基板100内,能够避免影响显示面板10的显示。在第二电极层400的制备过程中,由阵列基板100背离第一电极层200的一侧通过第一通孔510朝向第二电极层400出射激光,从而形成开口420,在上述过程中,第一遮挡层500起到掩膜板的作用。通过上述结构设计,一方面,在第二电极层400设置开口420,能够减小第二电极410的分布面积,进而提高显示面板10的透光率,能够在显示面板10的非显示侧集成感光组件,即便于感光组件的屏下集成。另一方面,由于第一遮挡层500的存在,第一遮挡层500和第二电极层400之间的距离较近,激光产生的衍射效果较小,在激光刻蚀过程中,能够有效避免激光衍射导致的第二电极410朝向开口420的边缘翻折而影响后续封装工艺的封装效果。
阵列基板100的设置方式还有多种,阵列基板100例如可以包括衬底和设置于衬底的TFT阵列层、平坦化层等膜层结构。或者阵列基板100即衬底。或者阵列基板100还包括衬底和位于背离衬底一侧的缓冲层和支撑板等。本申请中的阵列基板100可以为多膜层结构。
第一电极层200例如为阳极层,第二电极层400为阴极层。在利用第一电极层200和第二电极层400驱动像素开口320内的发光单元发光时,第一电极层200中的像素电极210作为阳极,第二电极层400的第二电极410作为阴极。

在本申请中,可选的第一显示区AA1的透光率大于等于15%。为确保第一显示区AA1的透光 率大于15%,甚至大于40%,甚至具有更高的透光率,本实施例中显示面板10的各个功能膜层的透光率均大于80%,甚至至少部分功能膜层的透光率均大于90%。
根据本申请实施例的显示面板10,第一显示区AA1的透光率大于第二显示区AA2的透光率,使得显示面板10在第一显示区AA1的背面可以集成感光组件,实现例如摄像头的感光组件的屏下集成,同时第一显示区AA1能够显示画面,提高显示面板10的显示面积,实现显示装置的全面屏设计。
可选的,第二电极层400的开口420可以位于第一显示区AA1以提高第一显示区AA1的透光率。在其他实施例中,第二电极层400的开口420还可以同时位于第一显示区AA1和第二显示区AA2,以提高整个显示区域的透光率。

可选的,开孔330贯穿隔离部310设置。使得激光能够更好地通过开孔330对第二电极层400进行激光灰化。
可选的,像素电极210通过湿刻工艺形成。像素电极210通过湿刻工艺制备,使得阵列基板100上表面粗糙度上升,同时,开孔330贯穿隔离部310,从而使得开孔330处的阵列基板100上表面粗糙度上升,第二导电材料层能够直接沉积在位于开孔330内的阵列基板100上,使第二电极层400与阵列基板100上表面粘附力更强,使第二电极层400的第二电极410难以发生边缘上翻。
可选的,开孔330为贯穿隔离部310设置,至少部分阵列基板100由开孔330露出,第二电极410的边缘部440与由开孔330露出的至少部分阵列基板100的上表面直接接触,使得第一遮挡层500和第二电极410的边缘部440之间的距离较近,能够避免激光衍射导致的第二电极410朝向开口420的边缘部440翻折而影响后续封装工艺的封装效果。当利用第一遮挡层500对第二导电材料层进行激光刻蚀灰化处理时,能够在开孔330对应的区域内形成开口420,即在第二导电材料层上与第一遮挡层500距离较近的部分形成开口420,能够更好地改善第二电极410朝向开口420的边缘部440上翻的问题,更好地改善由于第二电极410的边缘部440上翻对后续封装工艺的影响。

在这些可选的实施例中,第一电极层200设置于平坦化层110上,当图案化形成像素电极210时,例如当利用湿刻工艺去除部分导电材料形成像素电极210时,湿刻工艺所用的刻蚀液会接触到平坦化层110上其他位置的表面,从而使得开孔330处的平坦化层110上表面粗糙度上升。位于开孔330处的第一电极410的边缘部440与平坦化层110的上表面接触,使第二电极410的边缘部440与平坦化层110上表面粘附力更强,使第二电极410难以发生边缘上翻。

请继续参阅图11,第二遮挡部710的形状设置方式有多种,在一些可选的实施例中,第二遮挡部710包括:第一分部711,沿第二方向Y延伸且呈条状,多个第一分部711沿第一方向X并排设置;第二分部712,沿第一方向X延伸成型并连接在第一方向X上并排设置的多个第一分部711;其中,在沿第一方向X并排设置的多个第一间隙620和多个开孔330中,各第一间隙620和各开孔330在显示面板的厚度方向上的至少部分正投影位于第二遮挡部710在显示面板的厚度方向上的正投影之内。
在这些可选的实施例中,第一分部711能够遮挡位于同一列(当第一方向X为行方向时)的多个第一间隙620中的各第一间隙620的至少一部分,以及部分开孔330被第二分部712遮挡,使得同一行或者同一列的第二电极410能够相互连通。通过第二分部712的遮挡作用,能形成与第二分部712同分布区域和同尺寸的第二电极410,进而使得不同位置的第二电极410能够相互连通,形成整面的公共电极。
第二分部712的位置设置方式有多种,例如当显示面板10具有第一区和环绕至少部分第一区的第二区,第一分部711位于第一区,第二分部712位于第二区,能进一步减小第一区内的第二电极410的分布面积,提高第一区的透光率。第一区可以为第一显示区AA1,第二区可以为非显示区,或者第二区为第二显示区AA2。
可选的,在显示面板的厚度方向Z上,第一遮挡部520相对第二遮挡部710更靠近所述第二电极层400,能够减小第一遮挡部520与第二电极层400的距离,能够改善第二电极层200的第二电极410的边缘部易上翘的问题。
在一些可选的实施例中,第二电极层400还包括连接部,连接部用于连接第二电极410,且连接部在显示面板的厚度方向上的正投影位于第一通孔510在显示面板的厚度方向上的正投影之外。该连接部可以通过第二分部712形成。
在这些可选的实施例中,连接部使得在第一方向X上相邻的两列像素开口320对应的部分第二电极410相互连通形成整面电极,便于第二电极层400的制备。
可选的,第一遮挡层500和/或第二遮挡层700包括金属材料,例如Mo(钼)。在一些实施例中,第一遮挡层500和/或第二遮挡层700为金属复合材料层,例如Ti/Al/Ti(钛/铝/钛),ITO/Ag/ITO(氧化铟锡/银/氧化铟锡)等。
值得说明的是,当显示面板10中仅含有第一遮挡层500时,可应用于屏下摄像头用显示面板,可拉伸显示面板,透明显示面板等;对于屏下摄像头用显示面板而言,第一遮挡层500可以仅存在于第一显示区AA1中;此外,第一遮挡层500也可以同时存在于第一显示区AA1和第二显示区AA2中。
当显示面板10中含有第一遮挡层500和第二遮挡层700时,也可应用至屏下摄像头用显示面板10,但为了提高显示面板10的透过率,其第一显示区AA1中仅含有第一遮挡层500,其第二显示区AA2中含有第一遮挡层500和第二遮挡层700;此外,也可应用至可拉伸显示面板,透明显示面板中。
可选的,如图5和图6所示,第二电极层400的第二电极410沿显示面板的厚度方向Z的正投影位于第二遮挡层700和第一遮挡层500沿显示面板的厚度方向Z的正投影之内,开口420沿显示面板的厚度方向Z的正投影位于第一通孔510沿显示面板的厚度方向Z的正投影之内。即第一遮挡层700和第二遮挡层500相互配合能够遮挡全部的第二电极410,在激光灰化第二电极层400时,第一遮挡层700和第二遮挡层500能够共同遮挡激光,避免第二电极410被激光灰化。
对于本实施例中的结构设计,可应用至其他显示面板10中,具体可依据实际情况进行选择,本申请不对其进行具体限制。

请参阅图12,图12是本申请第三方面实施例提供的一种显示面板的制备方法流程示意图。该显示面板10可以为上述任一第一方面实施例提供的显示面板10。
如图12并请一并参阅图1至图11所示的显示面板10,显示面板10的制备方法包括:
步骤S01:制备阵列基板100,阵列基板100包括第一遮挡层500,第一遮挡层500包括第一通孔510。
步骤S02:在阵列基板100上制备第一导电材料层,并进行图案化处理以获得第一电极层200,第一电极层200包括像素电极210。
步骤S03:在第一电极层200背离阵列基板100的一侧制备像素定义层300,像素定义层300包括隔离部310和由隔离部310围合形成的像素开口320,至少部分像素电极210由像素开口320露出。
步骤S04:对像素定义层300的隔离部310进行图案化处理形成开孔330,开孔330贯穿隔离部310,至少部分阵列基板由开孔330露出。
步骤S05:在像素定义层300背离阵列基板100的一侧制备第二导电材料层。
步骤S06:由阵列基板100背离像素定义层300的一侧对第二导电材料层进行激光刻蚀处理, 激光穿过第一通孔510将第二导电材料层刻蚀出开口420,第二导电材料层未刻蚀区域作为第二电极410。
在本申请实施例提供的显示面板10的制备方法中,首先通过步骤S01制备第一遮挡层500,步骤S02能够制备像素电极210。然后通过步骤S03形成像素定义层300,使得发光单元能够设置于像素开口320内,像素电极210和第二电极层400的第二电极410能够驱动发光单元发光。通过步骤S04制备设置于隔离部310的开孔330,至少部分阵列基板由开孔330露出。通过步骤S05制备第二导电材料层,用于形成第二电极层400。第二电极层400包括第二电极410和开口420。第一遮挡层500包括第一通孔510。且第一遮挡层500位于阵列基板100内,能够避免影响显示面板10的显示。在第二电极层400的制备过程中,可以利用第一遮挡层500作为掩膜板,由阵列基板100背离第一电极层200的一侧通过第一通孔510朝向第二电极层400出射激光,从而形成开口420。第一通孔510与像素电极210在显示面板的厚度方向Z上的正投影错位设置,避免激光通过第一通孔510刻蚀到像素电极210,影响发光显示。一方面,在第二电极层400设置开口420,能够减小第二电极410的分布面积,进而提高显示面板10的透光率。另一方面,第一遮挡层500和第二电极层400之间的距离较近,能够避免激光衍射导致的第二电极410朝向开口420的边缘翻折而影响后续封装工艺的封装效果。
在步骤S04中,还可以对像素定义层300上的隔离部310进行图案化处理以形成开孔330,即对隔离部进行图案化处理以形成开孔330。可选的,开口420在阵列基板上的正投影位于开孔330在阵列基板100上的正投影之内。可选的,开孔330贯穿所述隔离部,至少部分阵列基板100由开孔330露出。开孔330内不会设置发光单元,当像素定义层300上设置有空穴注入层、空穴传输层、电子传输层和电子注入层等共通层时,共通层可以在形成开孔330时,一起去除,从而使得第二电极层400的第二电极410与由开孔330露出的阵列基板100直接接触,进一步减小第二电极层400与第一遮挡层500之间的距离。在步骤S05中形成第二导电材料层时,第二导电材料层和第一遮挡层500之间不会有隔离部310等结构,能够进一步减小开孔330所在区域内第二导电材料层和第一遮挡层500的距离。在步骤S06中,以第一遮挡层500为掩膜板对第二导电材料层进行图案化处理时,由于第二导电材料层和第一遮挡层500之间的距离较小,能够改善衍射,避免第二电极410的边缘部440上翻,进而避免影响后续封装工艺的良率。
可选的,在步骤S02中,制备方法还包括:对第一导电材料层进行湿刻工艺,得到间隔分布的像素电极210,并使得至少部分阵列基板100由相邻两个像素电极210之间的间隙露出。像素电极210通过湿刻工艺制备,使得由相邻两个像素电极210间露出的阵列基板100的上表面粗糙度上升,在后续制备第二电极层400时,第二导电材料层能够直接沉积在由相邻两个像素电极210间露出的阵列基板100的上表面,该部分的阵列基板100上表面粗糙度较高,使第二电极层400的第二电极410与阵列基板100的上表面的粘附力更强,使第二电极层400的第二电极410难以发生边缘上翻。
可选的,阵列基板100包括平坦化层110,在步骤S03中,至少部分平坦化层由开孔330露出。
在步骤S02中,制备方法还包括:在平坦化层110上制备第一导电材料层,对第一导电材料层进行湿刻工艺,得到间隔分布的像素电极210,并使得至少部分平坦化层110由相邻两个像素电极210之间的间隙露出。像素电极210通过湿刻工艺制备,使得由相邻两个像素电极210间露出的部 分平坦化层110的上表面粗糙度上升,在后续制备第二电极层400时,第二导电材料层能够直接沉积在由相邻两个像素电极210间露出的部分平坦化层110的上表面,即第二导电材料层与由开孔330露出的至少部分平坦化层110直接接触,该部分的平坦化层110的上表面的粗糙度较高,使第二电极层400的第二电极410与平坦化层110的上表面的粘附力更强,使第二电极层400的第二电极410难以发生边缘上翻。
依照本申请如上文所述的实施例,这些实施例并没有详尽叙述所有的细节,也不限制该发明仅为所述的具体实施例。显然,根据以上描述,可作很多的修改和变化。本说明书选取并具体描述这些实施例,是为了更好地解释本申请的原理和实际应用,从而使所属技术领域技术人员能很好地利用本申请以及在本申请基础上的修改使用。本申请仅受权利要求书及其全部范围和等效物的限制。
