目前的硅(驱动)基板+Micro/Mini LED发光芯片微显示技术与半导体工艺兼容,适宜于大批量生产。相比于其它微显示技术,硅基板+LED技术具有不需要背光源、整体比较轻薄、光学系统设计简单、响应速度快等优点;相比于OLED微显示技术,硅基板+LED微显示技术采用半导体及金属材料,具有亮度高、耐高温、寿命长等优点,因此得到了广泛的研究。然而,目前的硅基板+LED需要较大的电流才能实现较高的发光效率。参考图5所示,当电流密度到达10A/cm2及以上时,效率显著提升。而硅基板+LED通常所用的效率区的电流密度的单元也达到了A/cm2的量级。但是,大电流会给硅基板+LED显示带了很多缺陷,例如IR drop(压降)较大、功耗上升等问题。
为了解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供了一种发光面板,包括:驱动基板,驱动基板包括多个第一导电部和阵列排布的多个驱动单元,第一导电部与驱动单元绝缘;多个发光器件,阵列排布在驱动基板上,发光器件包括第一电极和第二电极,各第二电极和一个驱动单元电连接,第一电极和第一导电部电连接;至少一个第一电极和第一导电部电连接的连接点,与除第一电极和第一导电部以外的其余第一电极和第一导电部电连接的连接点不同。这样一方面,由于至少一个第一电极与其它第一电极不再电连接,使得至少一个第一电极可以被第一导电部上的电压单独控制,从而有效的减小了发光器件出光面如果使用透明第一电极,而透明第一电极方阻较大带来的严重的IR drop问题;另一方面,由于至少一个第一电极可以被第一导电部上的电压单独控制,即至少一个第一电极独立图形化,从而可以单独对至少一个第一电极进行动态调整控制,降低功耗。
可选地,所有第一电极分为多组,各组包括至少一个第一电极、且各组 与不同的第一导电部电连接。从而可以在减小大电流带来的IR drop问题、降低功耗的同时,还可以对第一电极进行分区域控制。
对于上述各组包括的第一电极的数量不做具体限定。示例的,上述各组可以仅包括一个第一电极;或者,上述各组可以包括多个第一电极。在上述各组包括多个第一电极的情况下,这里对于各组中多个第一电极电连接的第一导电部的数量不做具体限定。示例的,可以是各组中所有第一电极与一个第一导电部电连接;或者,可以是各组中多个第一电极与不同的第一导电部电连接。
下面以10个第一电极为例进行说明。
第一种情况:可以将10个第一电极分为10组,此时每一组均包括1个第一电极,每1个第一电极与1个第一导电部电连接,即具有10个第一导电部。
第二种情况:可以将10个第一电极分为3组,此时可以是第一组包括3个第一电极、第二组包括3个第一电极、第三组包括4个第一电极,那么第一组的3个第一电极与1个第一导电部电连接、第二组的3个第一电极与1个第一导电部电连接、第三组的4个第一电极与1个第一导电部电连接。
第三种情况:可以将10个第一电极分为3组,此时可以是第一组包括1个第一电极、第二组包括1个第一电极、第三组包括8个第一电极,那么第一组的1个第一电极与1个第一导电部电连接、第二组的1个第一电极与1个第一导电部电连接、第三组的8个第一电极与1个第一导电部电连接。
第四种情况:可以将10个第一电极分为3组,此时可以是第一组包括1个第一电极、第二组包括1个第一电极、第三组包括8个第一电极,那么第一组的1个第一电极与1个第一导电部电连接、第二组的1个第一电极与1个第一导电部电连接、第三组的8个第一电极中分别两个第一电极与1个第一导电部电连接。
需要说明的是,当然还可以包括除上述四种情况以外的其它情况,这里不再赘述。
硅(驱动)基板+Micro/Mini LED发光芯片可以应用在AR(Augmented Reality,增强现实)/VR(Virtual Reality,虚拟现实)等近眼显示中。在AR/VR等近眼显示中有一个很重要的应用场景是注视点渲染,即人眼注视的显示画面需要高清、高刷新率,人眼未注视的画面可以是低亮度、低刷新,如图6所示。参考图6所示,区域Z1为高清区,其它区域Z2为低清区。例 如图6中可以将屏幕划分为九个区域,每个区域的Vcom信号都单独控制,此时LED不需要较高的跨压,低清区的Vcom信号可以设置的较高;高清区的Vcom信号可以拉低,从而得到较大的跨压和高亮的显示。这对于功耗的降低和显示效果的提高都有很大的优势。
可选地,各组包括一个第一电极,各第一电极与一个第一导电部电连接。
下面以图1和图2所示的驱动基板包括红色发光器件3、绿色发光器件4和蓝色发光器件5,且各不同颜色的发光器件中的第一电极与一个第一导电部电连接为例进行说明。
表一给出了红色(R)发光二极管(LED)、绿色(G)发光二极管(LED)和蓝色(B)发光二极管(LED)的启亮电压(驱动电压Vcom)数值。由表一看出,R LED、G LED和B LED的启亮电压不一致,其中,R LED的驱动电压最低。相关技术中由于多个发光器件的阴极是整面设置并通过同一个驱动电压控制的,因此只能将Vcom设计为相同的值。为了保证对比度,只能将Vcom设置为R LED的驱动电压,例如-1.25V,这时为了得到更高的蓝光,就需要一个更大的数据电压,以提高B LED的跨压,这就导致增加了功耗。

本申请实施例中的第二导电部可以为顶金属层(Top metal),从而可以使得第一导电部与第一电极电连接的过孔数量较少,便于工艺制作,节省时 间和成本。同时,由于使用顶金属层的金属层走金属走线,顶金属层的材料一般为铜(Cu),方阻为0.002欧/方块,相比于IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锌)(方阻60欧/方块),减小了至少30000倍的压降。
