示例性地,如图1C、图1D所示,每个发光器件G1包括两个连接引脚, 每个像素驱动芯片G2包括六个连接引脚,每个发光器件G1的引脚通过贯穿平坦层145和钝化层146的贯穿过孔与两个第一焊盘1442连接,每个像素驱动芯片G2的引脚通过贯穿平坦层145和钝化层146的过孔与六个第二焊盘1443连接,从而在信号线(第一信号线1421和/或第二信号线1441)传输的信号以及像素驱动芯片G2的控制下,控制发光器件G1发光。可以理解的是,任一连接焊盘和与其直接接触第二信号线1441为一体结构,且连接焊盘为第二信号线1441被平坦层145和钝化层146的暴露出来的区域。
如图1C、图1D所示,图中所示的边界线B为平坦层145和钝化层146靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的边界线。平坦层145和钝化层146靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的边界线B在基板11上的正投影与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离为L1。多个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X并列间隔排布,且多个第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的边界齐平或者大致齐平,第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的边界在基板11上的正投影与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离为L2。
其中,L1大于L2,且L1与L2的差值的绝对值的范围为50~80μm。
示例性地,L1与L2的差值的绝对值例如为50μm、70μm或者80μm。
如图1C所示,多个第一绑定电极12位于第二金属层144内,且多个第一绑定电极12的宽度(沿第一方向X的尺寸)不同,且每个第一绑定电极12的宽度与其所电连接的信号线,如图1C所示,例如为第二信号线1441的宽度对应,不同宽度的信号线所电连接的第一绑定电极12的宽度不同。
在一些实施例中,第一金属层142或第二金属层144为包含多个叠层结构的金属层。例如第一金属层142或第二金属层144包括自基板11一侧依次设置的钛层、铜层、钛层。或者第一金属层142或第二金属层144例如包括自基板11一侧依次设置的钼层、铜层、钼层。或者,第一金属层142或第二金属层144例如包括自基板11一侧依次设置的钼层、铝层、钼层。
在一些实施例中,第一金属层142或第二金属层144为单层结构的信号走线层。进一步地,驱动线路层14例如为铜层或铝层等。
具体地,第一金属层142或第二金属层144需要具备良好的导电性能即可,此处仅做示例性描述,不作为对驱动线路层14所采用的材料的限定。
在一些实施例中,多个第一绑定电极12中的各个第一绑定电极12与驱动线路层14中对应连接的信号线(例如多条第一信号线1421和多条第二信号线1441)为一体结构,其中,第一绑定电极12位于周边区AN且表面裸露。
由于第一绑定电极12的表面裸露,因此,在第一绑定电极12远离基板 11的一侧可以进一步设置防氧化层(材料可以包含镍金属,具体可以为含镍的合金,或者镍层和金层的层叠结构),防止在工艺过程中膜层氧化而导致后续制备过程中,第一绑定电极12与连接引线13的不可靠电连接。
每条连接引线13的第一部131通过一个第一绑定电极12与一条第一信号线1421连接,示例性地,第一绑定电极12在沿第一方向X上的尺寸与其所属于的第一信号线1421在沿第一方向X上的尺寸相适配,连接引线13的第一部131与其所连接的第一绑定电极12在沿第一方向X上的尺寸正相关。如图1C所示,驱动线路层14包括的多条不同功能的第一信号线1421在第一方向X上的尺寸不同,可以理解的是,与不同功能的第一信号线1421对应的多个第一绑定电极12在沿第一方向X上的尺寸适应性地不同,相应地,分别通过不同第一绑定电极与不同功能的第一信号线1421连接的多条连接引线13(或连接引线13的第一部131)的在沿第一方向X上的尺寸不同。
需要说明的是,为简化示意,说明书附图中将多个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X的尺寸示意为相同,本领域的技术人员可以理解,应不限于此,多个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X的尺寸可以不同。
相应地,多条连接引线13(或连接引线13的第一部131)沿第一方向X上的尺寸可以相同或者不同。
在一些实施例中,如图1A所示,多条连接引线13的第三部133被配置为连接位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的电路板,例如多条连接引线13的第三部133的远离选定侧面11cc的端部作为连接柔性电路板F的绑定电极,也就是说多条连接引线13的第三部133需要预留较大位置进行外部线路绑定。
如图1B所示,显示面板还包括多个第二绑定电极19,多个第二绑定电极19的一端与连接引线电连接,另一端被配置为连接位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的电路板。
在一些示例中,多条连接引线13的制备工艺如下:在基板11的选定侧面11cc形成连接基板11的第一表面11a和第二表面11b的整面的导电层,例如通过立体溅射镀膜工艺形成导电层,具体地,导电层包括位于基板11的第一表面11a一侧的第一部分、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧的第二部分和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部分。接着,通过激光工艺修整,将导电层图案化,使其形成连接基板11的第一表面11a和第二表面11b的独立的多条连接引线13。
可以理解的是,每条连接引线13包括位于基板11的第一表面11a一侧 的第一部131、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc上的第二部132和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部133。
在垂直于基板11的第一表面11a的方向上,例如图1A、图1B中所示的Z方向,连接引线13的第一部131的尺寸小于显示区AA内的膜层结构的尺寸,即连接引线13的第一部131的厚度d2小于显示区AA内的膜层的厚度d1。这样在实际激光工艺过程中,在刻蚀得到连接引线13的第二部132的过程中,激光可能会自基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧入射到第一表面11a的显示区AA内,造成显示面板的正面膜层的损伤。
请参阅图1A、图1B,在激光刻蚀形成多条连接引线13的第二部132时,激光Laser2沿图中所示的方向照射向导电层,由于连接引线13的第一部131在基板11上的厚度d2小于显示区AA内膜层厚度d1,因此激光的部分能量会到达显示区AA并对该区域内的膜层和器件造成损伤,导致局部腐蚀、发光器件无法点亮等信赖性问题。
本申请中,连接引线13由激光分别由三个方向照射并刻蚀导电层形成,以下说明中,激光Laser1为由显示面板的第一表面一侧射向显示面板的激光,激光Laser2为由显示面板的选定侧面一侧射向显示面板的激光,激光Laser3为由显示面板的第二表面一侧射向显示面板的激光。
在一些实施例中,如图1A、图1B所示,驱动线路层14远离基板11的一侧设置有发光器件层G,发光器件层G包括多个发光器件G1,驱动线路层14包括信号走线,被配置为向发光器件G1传输信号,驱动发光器件层G中的多个发光器件G1发光。
在采用激光刻蚀连接引线13的第二部132时,正面的驱动线路层14包括的信号走线受到激光照射后,会导致信号走线被激光照射到的部分被激光刻蚀去除或受到损伤,从而影响信号正常传输。多个发光器件G1受到激光照射后会导致发光器件G1的特性发生改变,使得发光器件G1的发光效果不能达到预期效果,例如发光器件G1无法正常发光或者发光亮度、颜色等产生变化,从而影响显示效果。上述提到的激光损伤显示面板的正面膜层,包括损伤驱动线路层14和发光器件层G。
上述制备工艺,例如溅射镀膜工艺和激光工艺等仅作为示例性描述,不作为对实际生产工艺的限定。
基于此,本公开的实施例提供了一种显示面板及其制备方法,以解决上述提到的激光损伤显示面板的正面膜层的问题,为清楚说明本公开的方案,首先介绍显示面板的制备方法。
如图2所示,显示面板的制备方法包括:
S11、提供基板11。
其中,如图1A、图1B、图3所示,基板11包括第一表面11a、第二表面11b以及连接第一表面11a和第二表面11b的多个侧面11c,多个侧面11c中的至少一个侧面为选定侧面11cc。第一表面11a包括显示区AA和位于显示区AA至少一侧的周边区AN,周边区AN相较于显示区AA更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
在一些示例中,基板11的材料例如为玻璃、石英、塑料等刚性材料。
在另一些示例中,基板11的材料例如为FPC(Flexible Printed Circuit Board,柔性印刷电路板)、PI基膜(Polyimide Film,聚酰亚胺薄膜)等柔性材料。
S21、在基板11的第一表面11a一侧形成阵列层。
其中,如图4所示,在基板11的第一表面11a一侧形成阵列层包括:在显示区AA形成驱动线路层14。
S31、在基板11的第一表面11a一侧设置第一掩膜版20。
其中,如图5所示,第一掩膜版20至少包括第一主体部201,第一主体部201至少包覆驱动线路层14靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分。
S41、形成导电层13’。
其中,如图6~图9所示,导电层13’包括:位于基板11的第一表面11a一侧的第一部分13’1、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧的第二部分13’2和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部分13’3。
图7和图8分别为沿图6中的截面线CC和DD得到的截面图,可见,第一掩膜版20和导电层13’不接触,二者之间具有一定距离。
在上述步骤中,导电层13’例如采用立体溅射镀膜工艺形成。
S51、采用激光刻蚀图案化导电层13’,形成并列间隔排布的多条连接引线13。
其中,如图1A、图1B所示,多条连接引线13中的每条连接引线13包括位于基板11的第一表面11a一侧的第一部131、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧的第二部132和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部133。
激光刻蚀导电层13’形成多条连接引线13包括:如图10、图11所示,至少激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132。
在上述步骤中,如图6~图8所示,导电层13’的第一部分13’1与第一掩膜版20的第一主体部201无交叠。
在上述步骤中,激光刻蚀导电层13’形成的多条连接引线13是独立分隔 开的,多条连接引线13中的任意两条连接引线13之间都存在间隙。将激光刻蚀的过程中导电层13’被激光刻蚀去除的部分所对应的区域称为刻蚀区,示例性地,如图6、图9~图11所示,导电层13’的第一部分13’1包括多个第一刻蚀区K1,导电层13’的第二部分13’2包括多个第二刻蚀区K2,导电层13’的第三部分13’3包括多个第三刻蚀区K3。
当刻蚀区(例如图6中所示的多个第一刻蚀区K1、多个第二刻蚀区K2,以及图9中所示的多个第三刻蚀区K3)对应的部分被刻蚀去除后,得到的相邻的连接引线13之间的间隔即为相邻的连接引线13之间的间隙。
S61、去除第一掩膜版20。
图12A、图12B和图13为在去除第一掩膜版20后,最终得到多条连接引线13在基板11的第一表面11a的示意图和在基板11的第二表面11b的示意图。
采用上述显示面板的制备方法,在第一表面11a的显示区AA形成驱动线路层14,接着在基板11的第一表面11a一侧设置第一掩膜版20,将驱动线路层14靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分的包覆其中。这样,在采用激光刻蚀图案化导电层13’的过程中,激光Laser2沿图11中所示的方向照射向导电层13’,虽然连接引线13的第一部131在基板11上的厚度d2小于显示区AA内膜层厚度d1,但由于第一掩膜版20将驱动线路层14靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分包覆其中,使得激光Laser2沿图11中所示的方向照射向导电层13’时,射向驱动线路层14的激光被第一掩膜版20的主体部201遮挡,对驱动线路层14起到了保护作用,避免了激光对驱动线路层14造成损伤。从而避免了驱动线路层14受到激光照射后导致被配置为传输电路信号的部分线路被激光刻蚀去除或损伤,从而影响电路信号正常传输的问题,进而提高了显示面板的信赖性。
示例性地,如图6所示,多个第一刻蚀区K1中的每个第一刻蚀区K1均包括第一子刻蚀区K11和第二子刻蚀区K12,每个第一刻蚀区K1的第一子刻蚀区K11相较于该第一刻蚀区K1的第二子刻蚀区K12更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
如图12A和图12B所示,每个第一子刻蚀区K11对应的部分被刻蚀去除后形成的间隙区域为第一子间隙区域151,每个第二子刻蚀区K12对应的部分被刻蚀去除后形成的间隙区域为第二子间隙区域152。可以理解的是,每个第一刻蚀区K1被刻蚀去除后得到的第一间隙J1包括第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152。每个第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151相较于该 第一间隙J1包括的第二子间隙区域152更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
示例性地,如图9所示,多个第三刻蚀区K3中的每个第三刻蚀区K3均包括第三子刻蚀区K31和第四子刻蚀区K32,每个第三刻蚀区K3的第三子刻蚀区K31相较于该第三刻蚀区K3的第四子刻蚀区K32更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
如图13所示,每个第三子刻蚀区K31对应的部分被刻蚀去除后形成的间隙区域为第三子间隙区域171,每个第四子刻蚀区K32对应的部分被刻蚀去除后形成的间隙区域为第四子间隙区域172。可以理解的是,每个第三刻蚀区K3被刻蚀去除后得到的第三间隙J3包括第三子间隙区域171和第四子间隙区域172,每个第三间隙J3包括的第三子间隙区域171相较于该第三间隙J3包括的第四子间隙区域172更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
如图6和图9所示,采用激光刻蚀图案化导电层13’,形成并列间隔排布的完整的多条连接引线13的过程包括:将导电层13’的多个与第一刻蚀区K1对应的部分通过激光刻蚀去除后,得到多条连接引线13的第一部131,相邻的两条连接引线13的第一部131被一个第一间隙J1间隔;将导电层13’的多个与第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分通过激光刻蚀去除后,得到多条连接引线13的第二部132,相邻的两条连接引线13的第二部132被一个第二间隙J2间隔;将导电层13’的多个与第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分通过激光刻蚀去除后,得到多条连接引线13的第三部133,相邻的两条连接引线13的第三部133被一个第三间隙J3间隔。
可以理解的是,将导电层13’的多个与第一刻蚀区K1、多个第二刻蚀区K2和多个第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分全部去除后才能够得到完整的多条连接引线13。
示例性地,激光Laser1照射向导电层13’,对导电层的多个第一刻蚀区K1进行刻蚀,从而形成多条连接引线13的第一部131。激光Laser2照射向导电层13’,对导电层的多个第二刻蚀区K2进行刻蚀,从而形成多条连接引线13的第二部132。激光Laser3照射向导电层13’,对导电层的多个第三刻蚀区K3进行刻蚀,从而形成多条连接引线13的第三部133。
在一些示例中,激光Laser1、Laser2、Laser3分别从不同的方向同时对导电层13’的多个与第一刻蚀区K1、多个第二刻蚀区K2和多个第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分进行刻蚀,将导电层13’图案化,从而得到如图12A、图12B和图13中所示的多条连接引线13。
需要说明的是,以上仅作为对一种可能的实施方式的举例说明,激光对导 电层13’的多个与第一刻蚀区K1、多个第二刻蚀区K2和多个第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分的刻蚀顺序不做要求。
以下以激光Laser1、Laser2和Laser3分别从不同方向刻蚀导电层13’,形成多条连接引线13为例进行具体说明。
示例性地,在激光刻蚀图案化导电层13’,形成多条连接引线13的步骤中,激光Laser2先照射向导电层13’,将导电层13’的第二部分13’2的多个第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分刻蚀去除,从而形成多条连接引线13的第二部132。接着,激光Laser1和Laser3分时或者同时分别从不同方向照射向导电层13’,将导电层13’的第一部分13’1的多个第一刻蚀区K1对应的部分和第三部分13’3的多个第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分刻蚀去除,从而形成多条连接引线13的第一部131和第三部133。
激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2的多个第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分时,激光自基板11的选定侧面11cc的一侧朝向基板11的选定侧面11cc发射,激光将多个第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分刻蚀去除后,导电层13’的第一部分13’1靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分,和/或导电层13’的第三部分13’3靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分会被激光的残余能量刻蚀去除。
也就是说,在S51中,形成多条连接引线13的第二部132时,如图10、图11所示,导电层13’的多个与第一子刻蚀区K11对应的部分被激光的残余能量刻蚀去除;导电层13’的多个与第三子刻蚀区K31对应的部分被激光的残余能量刻蚀去除。
可以理解的是,在这种情况下,导电层13’的第一部分13’1需要被刻蚀去除的部分和导电层13’的第三部分13’3需要被刻蚀去除的部分是分两次分别刻蚀去除的,其靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分(例如第一刻蚀区K1中的第一子刻蚀区K11对应的部分以及第三刻蚀区K3中的第三子刻蚀区K31对应的部分)在形成多条连接引线13的第二部132时被刻蚀去除,其余需要刻蚀的部分是通过另外的步骤刻蚀去除的,因此,第一刻蚀区K1对应的部分被刻蚀去除后得到的第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸可能相同或者不相同,第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分被刻蚀去除后得到的第三间隙J3包括的第三子间隙区域171和第四子间隙区域172沿第一方向XS上的尺寸可能相同或者不相同。
在一些实施例中,如图12A所示,相邻两条连接引线13之间的第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸相同。
在另一些实施例中,相邻两条连接引线13之间的第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸不同。
在一些示例中,如图12B所示,相邻两条连接引线13之间的第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸小于该第一间隙J1包括的第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸。
在另一些示例中,相邻两条连接引线13之间的第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸大于该第一间隙J1包括的第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸。
关于刻蚀去除第一刻蚀区K1对应的部分后得到的第一间隙J1和刻蚀去除第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分后得到的第三间隙J3的具体结构见后文,此处不多做介绍。
示例性地,在步骤S61之后还包括:S71、激光刻蚀导电层13’的其余部分,形成完整的多条连接引线13。
其中,激光刻蚀导电层13’的其余部分,形成完整的多条连接引线13包括:激光Laser1刻蚀导电层13’的第一部分13’1形成多条连接引线13的第一部131和/或Laser3方向的激光刻蚀导电层13’的第三部分13’3形成多条连接引线13的第三部133。
需要说明的是,在激光刻蚀导电层13’的其余部分,形成完整的多条连接引线13的步骤中,去除第一掩膜版20的步骤在激光刻蚀导电层13’的第一部分13’1之前,激光刻蚀导电层13’的第三部分13’3和去除第一掩膜版20的步骤不分先后。
相邻的两条连接引线13的第一部131之间被第一间隙J1间隔,相邻的两条连接引线13的第二部132之间被第二间隙J2间隔,相邻的两条连接引线13的第三部133之间被第三间隙J3间隔,以下对任意相邻的两条连接引线13之间的第一间隙J1、第二间隙J2和第三间隙J3的尺寸做说明。
示例性地,第一间隙J1、第二间隙J2和第三间隙J3沿第一方向X上的尺寸可以相同或者不相同。
在一些示例中,第一间隙J1、第二间隙J2和第三间隙J3中的至少两个在沿第一方向X上的尺寸相同。例如第一间隙J1和第二间隙J2在沿第一方向X上的尺寸相同,或者第一间隙J1和第三间隙J3在沿第一方向X上的尺寸相同,或者第二间隙J2和第三间隙J3在沿第一方向X上的尺寸相同,又或者第一间隙J1、第二间隙J2和第三间隙J3在沿第一方向X上的尺寸均相同。
在另一些示例中,第二间隙J2和第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸相同。可以理解的是,在这种情况下,第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152在沿第一方向X上的尺寸可以相同或者不相同。
在又一些示例中,第二间隙J2、第三间隙J3、第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上尺寸不同。例如第二间隙J2(或第三间隙J3)在沿第一方向X上的尺寸大于第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151在沿第一方向X上的尺寸。
在再一些实施例中,在步骤S51中,激光刻蚀导电层13’形成了完整的多条连接引线13,因此,在步骤S51和S61之后,不包括步骤S71。
在另一些实施例中,如图14所示,本公开的一些实施例提供另一种显示面板的制备方法,包括:
S12、提供基板11。
其中,如图1A、图1B和图3所示,基板11包括第一表面11a、第二表面11b以及连接第一表面11a和第二表面11b的多个侧面11c,多个侧面11c中的至少一个侧面为选定侧面11cc。第一表面11a包括显示区AA和位于显示区AA至少一侧的周边区AN,周边区AN相较于显示区AA更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
S22、在基板11的第一表面11a一侧形成阵列层,包括:在显示区AA形成驱动线路层14,还包括:在周边区AN形成多个第一绑定电极12。
其中,如图4所示,多个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X间隔排布,且每个第一绑定电极12沿第二方向Y延伸。周边区AN沿第一方向X延伸。第一方向X与第二方向Y交叉。
在上述步骤中,多个第一绑定电极12与驱动线路层14电连接。
示例性地,第一方向X垂直于第二方向Y。
示例性地,第一绑定电极12沿第二方向Y上的尺寸大于或等于50μm。
进一步地,第一绑定电极12沿第二方向Y上的尺寸范围为50~80μm。第一绑定电极沿第二方向Y上的尺寸例如为50μm、70μm或者80μm。
S32、在基板11的第一表面11a一侧设置第一掩膜版20。
其中,如图5所示,第一掩膜版20至少包括第一主体部201,第一主体部201包覆驱动线路层14靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分,第一掩膜版20的第一主体部201还包覆多个第一绑定电极12靠近显示区AA的部分。
需要说明的是,为了更好的保护驱动线路层14,避免在制备连接引线13 时对驱动线路层14造成损伤,第一掩膜版20包括的第一主体部201可以将驱动线路层14完全覆盖。在这种情况下,第一主体部201仍然是覆盖多个第一绑定电极12靠近显示区AA的部分。
S42、形成导电层13’。
其中,如图6~图9所示,导电层13’包括:位于基板11的第一表面11a一侧的第一部分13’1、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧的第二部分13’2和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部分13’3。
导电层13’的第一部分13’1覆盖多个第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分。
在一些实施例中,在上述步骤中,导电层13’的第一部分13’1和第一掩膜版20的第一主体部201无交叠。
可以理解的是,导电层13’的第一部分13’1与多个第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分存在交叠,因此,在前述设置第一掩膜版20的步骤中,第一掩膜版20的主体部201不能将多个第一绑定电极12全部包覆其中,至少需要将第一绑定电极12与连接引线13存在交叠的部分暴露出。
导电层13’的第一部分13’1与多个第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分存在交叠,该交叠部分在垂直于基板11的选定侧面11cc的方向上的尺寸范围为30~60μm。
导电层13’的第一部分13’1与多个第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的交叠部分沿第二方向Y的尺寸例如为30μm、50μm或者60μm。
在一些实施例中,第一绑定电极12靠近显示区AA的部分被第一掩膜版20的第一主体部201覆盖,第一绑定电极12远离显示区AA的部分被导电层13’的第一部分13’1覆盖。
示例性地,第一绑定电极12被第一掩膜版20的第一主体部201覆盖的部分沿第二方向Y的尺寸的范围为30~60μm。第一绑定电极12被第一掩膜版20的第一主体部201覆盖的部分沿第二方向Y的尺寸例如为30μm、45μm或者60μm。
S52、采用激光刻蚀图案化导电层13’,形成并列间隔排布的多条连接引线13。
其中,如图1A、图1B所示,多条连接引线13中的每条连接引线13包括位于基板11的第一表面11a一侧的第一部131、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧的第二部132和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部133。每条连接引线13的第一部131与一个第一绑定电极12电连接。
激光刻蚀导电层13’形成多条连接引线13包括:如图10、图11所示,至少激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132。
在上述步骤中,至少激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132包括的几种情况参见前文对于步骤S51的描述,此处不再赘述。
S62、去除第一掩膜版20。请参见图12A、图12B和图13。
示例性地,在步骤S62之后还包括:
S72、激光刻蚀导电层13’的其余部分,形成完整的多条连接引线13。
其中,激光刻蚀导电层13’的其余部分,形成完整的多条连接引线13包括:激光刻蚀导电层13’的第一部分13’1形成多条连接引线13的第一部131和/或激光刻蚀导电层13’的第三部分13’3形成多条连接引线13的第三部133。完整的多条连接引线13如图12A、图12B和图13所示。
在上述步骤中,对于激光刻蚀导电层13’的其余部分,形成完整的多条连接引线13包括的几种情况参见前文对于步骤S71的描述,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,当连接引线13的第三部133呈直线状时,且连接引线13的第三部133的延伸方向与基板11的选定侧面11cc垂直,则连接引线13的第三部133可以在激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成连接引线13的第二部132时在同一步骤中一同形成。
参见图11、图13,激光Laser2沿图11中方向射向导电层13’,当激光将导电层13’的第二部分13’2的第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分刻蚀去除后,激光能够继续射向导电层13’的第三部分13’2,将导电层13’的第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分刻蚀去除,可以理解的是,在这种情况下,连接引线13的第二部分132和第三部分133时在同一步骤中形成,相邻的连接引线13的第二部132和第三部133均是通过激光刻蚀形成。
在又一些实施例中,如图15所示,本公开的一些实施例提供另一种显示面板的制备方法,包括:
S13、提供基板11。
其中,如图1A、图1B和图3所示,基板11包括第一表面11a、第二表面11b以及连接第一表面11a和第二表面11b的多个侧面11c,多个侧面11c中的至少一个侧面为选定侧面11cc。第一表面11a包括显示区AA和位于显示区AA至少一侧的周边区AN,周边区AN相较于显示区AA更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
S23、在基板11的第一表面11a一侧形成阵列层,包括:在显示区AA形 成驱动线路层14,还包括:在周边区AN形成多个第一绑定电极12。
其中,如图4所示,多个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X间隔排布,且每个第一绑定电极12沿第二方向Y延伸。周边区AN沿第一方向X延伸。第一方向X与第二方向Y交叉。
在上述步骤中,多个第一绑定电极12与驱动线路层14电连接。
示例性地,第一方向X与第二方向Y垂直。
S33、在基板11的第一表面11a一侧设置第一掩膜版20。
其中,第一掩膜版20包括第一主体部201和多个第一指部202。第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202的第一端连接第一掩膜版20的第一主体部201,第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202的第二端朝向基板11的选定侧面11cc延伸,第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202相较于第一掩膜版20的第一主体部201更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
如图16、图24所示,第一掩膜版20具有两种形状,多个第一指部202中的每个第一指部202位于相邻的两个第一绑定电极12之间的间隙区域。
示例性地,第一指部202沿第二方向Y的尺寸大于或者等于第一绑定电极12沿第二方向Y的尺寸。
在一些示例中,第一指部202沿第二方向Y的尺寸的范围为60μm~1mm。
第一指部202沿第二方向Y的尺寸例如为60μm、500μm或者1mm。
示例性地,在上述步骤中,如图16、图24所示,第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202在基板11上的正投影的边界与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间具有设定距离。该设定距离例如为如图16、图24中所示的距离d3。
在一些实施例中,如图16、图24所示,第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202在基板11上的正投影的边界与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离d3的范围为0~60μm。距离d3例如为20μm、35μm或者60μm。
示例性地,在上述步骤中,如图16、图24所示,沿第一方向X上,第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202中的每个第一指部202的尺寸d5小于或等于与其相邻的两个第一绑定电极12的间距d4。
在一些实施例中,第一掩膜版20包括的第一指部202沿第一方向X上的尺寸的范围为大于等于20μm且小于60μm。与前述第一指部202相邻的两个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距大于或者等于30μm,且小于或者等于300μm。
S43、形成导电层13’。
其中,如图17~图19所示,导电层13’包括:位于基板11的第一表面11a 一侧的第一部分13’1、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧的第二部分13’2和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部分13’3。
导电层13’的第一部分13’1覆盖多个第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分。
示例性地,在上述步骤中,如图18和图19所示,图18为根据图17中的截面线EE得到的截面图,图19为根据图17中的截面线FF得到的截面图,导电层13’的第一部分13’1和第一掩膜版20的第一主体部201无交叠,导电层13’的第一部分13’1和第一掩膜版20的第一指部202存在交叠。
S53、采用激光刻蚀图案化导电层13’,形成并列间隔排布的多条连接引线13。
其中,如图1A、图1B所示,多条连接引线13中的每条连接引线13包括位于基板11的第一表面11a一侧的第一部131、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧的第二部132和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部133。每条连接引线13的第一部131与一个第一绑定电极12电连接。
激光刻蚀导电层13’形成多条连接引线13包括:如图20~图22所示,至少激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132。
在上述步骤中,对于激光刻蚀导电层13’的形成的多条连接引线13的第一部131和第三部133的形状的描述,以及对多条连接引线13的第三部133的制备方法参加前文,此处不再赘述。
S63、如图23所示,去除第一掩膜版20。
在该步骤中,导电层的位于第一掩膜版的第一指部上的部分,随着第一掩膜版的去除而一并去除,得到如图23中的较宽的第二子间隙区域152。
采用上述显示面板的制备方法,在第一表面11a的显示区AA形成驱动线路层14,接着在基板11的第一表面11a一侧设置第一掩膜版20,将驱动线路层14靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分的包覆其中。这样,在采用激光刻蚀图案化导电层13’的过程中,激光Laser2沿图23、图24、图25中所示的方向照射向导电层13’,虽然连接引线13的第一部131在基板11上的厚度d2小于显示区AA内膜层厚度d1,但由于第一掩膜版20将驱动线路层14靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分包覆其中,使得激光Laser2沿图23、图24、图25中所示的方向照射向导电层13’时,射向驱动线路层14的激光被第一掩膜版20的主体部201遮挡,对驱动线路层14起到了保护作用,避免了激光对驱动线路层14造成损伤。从而避免了驱动线路层14受到激光照射后导致被配置为传输电路信号的部分线路被激光刻蚀去除或损伤,从而影响电路信 号正常传输的问题,进而提高了显示面板的信赖性。
需要说明的是,导电层13’的第一部分13’1与第一掩膜版20的第一指部202存在交叠,示例性地,如图17和图19所示,导电层13’的第一部分13’1的第二子刻蚀区K12对应的部分与第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202存在交叠,且导电层13’的第一部分13’1的第二子刻蚀区K12对应的部分位于第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202远离基板11的一侧。
因此,在去除第一掩膜版20时,导电层13’的第一部分13’位于第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202远离基板11一侧的部分,可以理解的是,导电层13’的第一部分13’1的第二子刻蚀区K12对应的部分会在去除第一掩膜版20时随第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202一起被去除。
因此,在激光刻蚀图案化导电层13’,从而形成多条连接引线13的过程中,无需对图23中所示的多个第二子刻蚀区K12刻蚀,减少了激光刻蚀范围。在显示面板的制备过程中,第一掩膜版20在起到保护显示区AA内的膜层结构的同时,还减少了激光刻蚀导电层13’的刻蚀范围,减少了激光刻蚀步骤的时间,进一步地,提高了生产效率。
在一些实施例中,如图1C、图1D和图25所示,第一子刻蚀区K11沿第二方向Y的尺寸小于平坦层145和钝化层146靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的边界线B在基板11上的正投影与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离L1。
在一些示例中,在步骤S53中,激光Laser1、Laser2、Laser3分别沿图18、图19中所示的方向同时对导电层13’的多个与第一刻蚀区K1、多个第二刻蚀区K2和多个第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分进行刻蚀,将导电层13’图案化,从而得到如图23中所示的多条连接引线13。
示例性地,显示面板包括A(A≥1,A为正整数)个沿第一方向X间隔排布的第一绑定电极12,那么,沿第一方向X上,A个第一绑定电极12之间有(A-1)个间隙区域,相应地,第一掩膜版20的第一指部202的数量小于或者等于(A-1)个。
可以理解的是,当第一掩膜版20的第一指部202的数量为零时,第一掩膜版20只包括第一主体部201。在这种情况下,第一掩膜版20的设置参见前文的描述,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,如图16所示,沿第一方向X上,第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202中的任意两个第一指部202之间包括至少两个第一绑定电极12。
示例性地,显示面板包括A(A≥3,A为正整数)个第一绑定电极12,那 么,沿第一方向X上,A个第一绑定电极12有(A-1)个间隙区域,第一掩膜版20的第一指部202的数量小于(A-1)个,第一掩膜版20至多包括(A-2)个第一指部202。
示例性地,如图1C所示,多个第一绑定电极12中的任意两个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距不唯一。
在一些实施例中,多个第一绑定电极12中的任意一个第一绑定电极12和其一侧的另一个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距与,该第一绑定电极12和其另一侧的又一个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距相同。
在另一些实施例中,多个第一绑定电极12中的任意一个第一绑定电极12和其一侧的另一个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距与,该第一绑定电极12和其另一侧的又一个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距不同。
为保证第一掩膜版20包括的第一指部202能够起到预期效果,则第一指部202的宽度(沿第一方向X上的尺寸)应在一定范围内。当第一指部202的宽度过窄时,则第一指部202易变形,且易导致其不能起到间隔效果。示例性地,第一掩膜版20包括的第一指部202的宽度大于20μm,那么,当相邻的两个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距小于20μm时,则在这两个第一绑定电极12之间无法设置第一指部202。
可以理解的是,当第一指部202的宽度大于其所相邻的两个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距时,如果在这两个第一绑定电极12之间设置第一指部202,相较于具备充足的距离(第一指部202的宽度小于其所相邻的两个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距),第一指部202的贴附平整度降低,会造成第一指部202贴附不良,例如第一指部202贴附不服帖,形状变形等,无法保证第一指部202可以起到预期效果,引起第一指部202的信赖性问题。
这时,如图16所示,第一掩膜版20包括的多个第一指部202只能设置于沿第一方向X上的间距大于20μm的两个第一绑定电极12之间。可以理解的是,在这种情况下,在满足沿第一方向X上的间距大于20μm的两个第一绑定电极12之间可以设置第一指部202,也可以不设置第一指部202。
在这种情况下,在步骤S53中,至少激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132,包括以下几种情况。
在一些示例中,S53包括:S53a、激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132。
其中,导电层13’的多个与第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分被刻蚀去除。得到 的多条连接引线13的第二部132中,如图20所示,任意相邻的两条连接引线13的第二部132之间由第二间隙J2间隔。
在另一些示例中,S53包括:S53b、激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132,激光刻蚀导电层13’的第一部分13’1形成多条连接引线13的第一部131。其中,每条连接引线13的第二部132与一个第一部131相连。
其中,如图21所示,形成多条连接引线13的第二部132时,激光残余能量将导电层13’的第一部分13’1靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分刻蚀去除,可以理解的是,如图21所示,导电层13’的第一部分13’1被刻蚀去除的部分沿第一方向X的尺寸和与其相邻的两条连接引线13的第二部132沿第一方向X的间距相同。
可以理解的是,在这种情况下,沿Laser2方向射入的激光对导电层13’的第一部分13’1的刻蚀长度与第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202在基板11上的正投影的边界与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离相同或大致相同。
激光对导电层13’的第一部分13’1的刻蚀长度为激光将导电层13’的第一部分13’1靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分刻蚀后,导电层13’的第一部分13’1的剩余部分在基板11上的正投影的边界与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离。例如,如图17中所示的第一子刻蚀区K11对应的部分被刻蚀去除,得到如图23中所示的第一子间隙区域151,那么,激光对导电层13’的第一部分13’1的刻蚀长度即为第一子间隙区域151在基板11上的正投影的边界与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离。
导电层13’的第一部分13’1的多个第一刻蚀区K1中的至少一个第一刻蚀区K1对应的部分与第一掩膜版20的多个第一指部202存在交叠。如图17所示,多个第一刻蚀区K1包括第一类刻蚀区和第二类刻蚀区K13,每个第一类刻蚀区包括第一子刻蚀区K11和第二子刻蚀区K12,第一类刻蚀区包括的第一子刻蚀区K11相较于该第一类刻蚀区的第二子刻蚀区K12更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。第一子刻蚀区K11、第二类刻蚀区K13和第二刻蚀区K2沿第一方向X上的尺寸相同。
在上述步骤中,激光Laser2照射向导电层13’,将导电层13’的多个与第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分被刻蚀去除后,如图22所示,激光继续照射向导电层13’的第一部分13’1,将多个第一子刻蚀区K11和多个第二类刻蚀区K13对应的部分刻蚀去除。多个第一子刻蚀区K11对应的部分被去除后得到多个第一子间隙区域151,多个第二类刻蚀区K13对应的部分被去除后得到多个 第二类间隙区域16。
对于多个第一绑定电极12,在显示面板的制备过程中,当相邻的两个第一绑定电极12之间没有被第一掩膜版20的第一指部202间隔开时,如图23所示,在最终形成的显示面板中,与前述相邻的两个第一绑定电极12相连的两条连接引线13的第一部131之间被第二类间隙区域16间隔。当相邻的两个第一绑定电极12之间被第一掩膜版20的第一指部202间隔开时,在最终形成的显示面板中,如图23所示,与前述相邻的两个第一绑定电极12相连的两条连接引线13的第一部131之间被第一类间隙区域15间隔。
可以理解的是,多个第二子刻蚀区K12在导电层13’上对应的部分会在去除第一掩膜版20时,会随着第一掩膜版20的多个指部202一起被去除,因此,激光不需要对这部分区域进行刻蚀,省去了激光刻蚀这部分区域对应的部分的时间,进一步地,提高了生产效率。
需要说明的是,当在步骤S53中,导电层13’的第一部分13’1的多个第一子刻蚀区K11、多个第二类刻蚀区K13对应的部分被刻蚀去除时,在步骤S63中,在去除第一掩膜版后,如图23所示,形成了多条连接引线13的第一部131。
在一些实施例中,在步骤S63之后还包括:
S73、激光刻蚀导电层13’的其余部分,形成完整的多条连接引线13。
其中,激光刻蚀导电层13’的其余部分,形成完整的多条连接引线13包括:激光刻蚀导电层13’的第一部分13’1形成多条连接引线13的第一部131和/或激光刻蚀导电层13’的第三部分13’3形成多条连接引线13的第三部133。
可以理解的是,步骤S73作为对步骤S53的补充,在去除第一掩膜版20后,导电层13’的多个与第一刻蚀区K1、多个第二刻蚀区K2、多个第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分已经全部刻蚀去除的情况下,不需要执行步骤S73。
在一些实施例中,在步骤S53a中仅形成了多条连接引线13的的第二部132。那么,步骤S73a包括激光刻蚀导电层13’的第一部分13’1形成多条连接引线13的第一部131,以及激光刻蚀导电层13’的第三部分13’3形成多条连接引线13的第三部133。
需要说明的是,S73中,利用的是的激光Laser1和/或激光Laser2。
如图23所示,通过上述流程制备的显示面板包括的多条连接引线13中,相邻的两条连接引线13之间由第一间隙J1间隔。其中,第一间隙J1包括第一类间隙区域15和第二类间隙区域16。每个第一类间隙区域15包括第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152,每个第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子 间隙区域151相较于该第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
示例性地,第二类间隙区域16沿第一方向X上的尺寸等于第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸。
在一些实施例中,每个第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸小于该第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸。可以理解的是,在这种情况下,第一类间隙区域15与第二类间隙区16的形状不同,第二类间隙区16为条状间隙,第一类间隙区域15为“凸”字型间隙。
在另一些实施例中,每个第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸等于该第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸。可以理解的是,在这种情况下,第一类间隙区域15与第二类间隙区16均为条状间隙,且两者形状、尺寸相同。
作为一种可能的设计,多个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X间隔排布,且每个第二绑定电极12沿第二方向Y延伸,其中,第二方向Y垂直于第一方向X且第二方向Y垂直于基板11的选定侧面11cc。
在另一些实施例中,如图24所示,第一掩膜版20具有另一种形状,多个第一绑定电极12中的任意两个相邻的第一绑定电极12之间的间隙区域内均设置有一个第一掩膜版20的第一指部202。
示例性地,显示面板包括A(A≥2,A为正整数)个第一绑定电极12,那么,沿第一方向X上,A个第一绑定电极12有(A-1)个间隙区域,第一掩膜版20的第一指部202的数量为(A-1)个,第一掩膜版20包括(A-1)个第一指部202。
在这种情况下,在步骤S43中,如图25所示,导电层13’的第一部分13’1包括多个第一刻蚀区K1,每个第一刻蚀区K1包括第一子刻蚀区K11和第二子刻蚀区K12,导电层13’的第一部分13’1的第二子刻蚀区K12对应的部分与第一掩膜版20的第一指部202存在交叠。
在步骤S53中,至少激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132包括的几种情况参加前文对于步骤S53的描述。
如图26所示,通过上述流程制备的显示面板包括的多条连接引线13中,相邻的两条连接引线13之间由第一间隙J1间隔,第一间隙J1均为第一类间隙区域15。每个第一类间隙区域15包括第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152,每个第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子间隙区域151相较于该第一类 间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。所述多条连接引线13中的任意两条相邻的连接引线13的第一部131由第一类间隙区域15间隔。
示例性地,多条连接引线13中任意两条相邻的连接引线13的第一部分131由第一间隙J1间隔,当第一间隙J1包括的第二子间隙区域152是在去除第一掩膜版20时,第一掩膜版20的第一指部202将覆盖其上的导电层13’的对应的部分随第一指部202一起去除形成的,而该第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151是由激光刻蚀导电层13’对应的部分形成的。
为保证将导电层13’的第二子刻蚀区K12对应的部分完全刻蚀去除,激光的能量需要满足一定条件,在一些示例中,在垂直于基板11第一表面11a的方向,激光除刻蚀导电层13’外,还会刻蚀到与导电层13’接触且更靠近基板11一侧的膜层的表面(在导电层与基板11直接接触的情况下,激光会刻蚀到基板11的表面),从而使得该第一间隙J1包括的第一子间隙区域151在垂直于第一表面11a的方向的尺寸要大于该第一间隙J1包括的第二子间隙区域152在垂直于第一表面11a的方向的尺寸。
这里所说的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152在垂直于基板11第一表面11a的尺寸是指,第一子间隙区域151/第二子间隙区域152远离基板11的一侧表面与基板11之间的沿图1A中所示的Z方向的深度。
在一些实施例中,每个第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸小于该第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸。可以理解的是,在这种情况下,第一类间隙区域15与第二类间隙区16的形状不同,第二类间隙区16为条状间隙,第一类间隙区域15为“凸”字型间隙。
示例性地,第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸大于或者等于33μm且小于或者等于73μm。
在一些实施例中,第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸大于或者等于30μm且小于或者等于70μm。
在一些实施例中,如图31所示,显示面板还包括设置于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的多个第二绑定电极19。多个第二绑定电极19靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的一端被配置为与连接引线13的第三部133连接,多个第二绑定电极19远离基板11的选定侧面11cc的一端被配置为与位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的电路板连接。
例如多个第二绑定电极19远离基板11的选定侧面11cc的一端的端部作 为连接柔性电路板F的绑定电极,也就是说多个第二绑定电极19需要预留较大位置进行外部线路绑定。
可以理解的是,采用这种设计,由于多个第二绑定电极19作为连接柔性电路板F的绑定电极,因此连接引线13的第三部133只需要保证可以与第二绑定电极19的有效连接,而不需要预留与外部线路绑定的位置。
因此,相较于采用如图13中所示的结构,即多条连接引线13的第三部133充当绑定电极,直接与柔性线路板F电连接,采用如图31中所示的结构时,由于存在第二绑定电极19,连接引线13的第三部133的长度缩短。
上述制备工艺,例如溅射镀膜工艺和激光工艺等仅作为示例性描述,不作为对实际生产工艺的限定。
对于第二绑定电极19的形状,有以下几种情况:
在一些实施例中,第二绑定电极19呈直线状。每个第二绑定电极19例如沿图28中所示的Y方向延伸。
在另一些实施例中,第二绑定电极19呈非直线状,第二绑定电极19包括依次首尾连接的多个延伸方向不同的部分。示例性地,如图27所示,每个第二绑定电极19例如包括第一子部191和第二子部192,且第二绑定电极19包括的第一子部191和第二子部192延伸方向不同。
示例性地,如图27所示,每个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191例如为直子部,每个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191沿第二方向Y延伸。
可以理解的是,当第二绑定电极19呈直线状时,激光Laser2沿图28中所示的方向射向导电层,形成多条连接引线13的第二部132时,激光将导电层的第二刻蚀区对应的部分刻蚀完后,激光残余能量对导电层的第三部分靠近基板的选定侧面的部分被去除。
由于第二绑定电极的延伸方向与激光刻蚀第二刻蚀区对应部分时的激光路径方向一致,因此,即使激光Laser2沿图28中所示的方向射向导电层的第三部分,激光刻蚀范围位于相邻两个第二绑定电极之间,激光不会射向第二绑定电极,因此,最终形成的第二绑定电极19不会造成损伤。
当第二绑定电极19呈非直线状时,激光Laser2沿图28中所示的方向射向导电层13’,形成多条连接引线的第二部时,激光将导电层13’的第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分刻蚀完后,激光残余能量会对第二绑定电极造成损伤,示例性地,如图29所示,当激光Laser2将导电层13’的第三部分13’3的多个第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分刻蚀去除后,激光的残余能量会射向第二绑定电极19的第二子部192,使得第二绑定电极19受到损伤,造成不良,从而影响显示 面板的信赖性。
需要说明的是,由于形成多条连接引线的第二部的过程中,激光刻蚀路径位于第二刻蚀区K2和第三刻蚀区K3对应的范围内,且连接引线13的第三部133沿第一方向X上的尺寸大于与其相连的第二绑定电极19沿第一方向X上的尺寸,可以理解的是,第二绑定电极19的第一子部191位于激光的刻蚀路径范围外,因此,激光的残余能量不会对第二绑定电极19的第一子部191造成损伤。
将导电层13’的第三部分13’3的多个第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分刻蚀去除后,得到多条连接引线的第三部133,因此,每个第三刻蚀区K3对应的区域位为形成的多条连接引线中的任意相邻的两条连接引线13的第三部133之间的区域。
为避免这种问题,在一些实施例中,提供一种显示面板的制备方法,包括:
S1、提供基板11。
其中,如图1A、图1B所示,基板11包括第一表面11a、第二表面11b以及连接第一表面11a和第二表面11b的多个侧面11c,多个侧面11c中的至少一个侧面为选定侧面11cc。第一表面11a包括显示区AA和位于显示区AA至少一侧的周边区AN,周边区AN相较于显示区AA更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。

示例性地,在上述步骤中,如图16、图24所示,第一掩膜版20还包括多个第一指部202。
S3a、在基板11的第二表面11b一侧形成并列间隔排布的多个第二绑定电极19。
其中,如图27所示,每个第二绑定电极19包括第一子部191和第二子部192。每个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191相较于该第二绑定电极19的第二子部192更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
每条连接引线13的第三部133与一个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191电连接。第二绑定电极19的第一子部191的延伸方向和与其连接的连接引线13的第三部133的端部的延伸方向相同。
S3b、在基板11的第二表面11b一侧设置第二掩膜版21。
其中,如图28所示,第二掩膜版21至少包括第二主体部211。第二主体部211至少包覆多个第二绑定电极19的第二子部192靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分。
在一些实施例中,在上述步骤中,形成的第二掩膜版21还包括多个第二指部212。多个第二指部212的第一端连接第二主体部211,多个第二指部212的第二端朝向基板11的选定侧面11cc延伸,第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212相较于第二掩膜版21的第二主体部211更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
如图28所示,第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212中的每个第二指部212位于相邻的两个第二绑定电极19之间的间隙区域。
示例性地,在上述步骤中,第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212在基板11上的正投影的边界与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间具有设定距离。
示例性地,在上述步骤中,沿第一方向X上,第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212中的每个第二指部212的尺寸小于或等于与其相邻的两个第二绑定电极19的间距。
示例性地,第二绑定电极19例如采用成膜、曝光、显影刻蚀的图案化工艺制备。
S4、形成导电层13’。
其中,导电层13’包括:位于基板11的第一表面11a一侧的第一部分13’1、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧的第二部分13’2和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部分13’3。
导电层13’的第一部分13’1覆盖多个第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分。如图28所示,导电层13’的第三部分13’3覆盖多个第二绑定电极19靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分。
在一些实施例中,在上述步骤中,导电层13’的第一部分13’1和第一掩膜 版20的第一主体部201无交叠。导电层13’的第三部分13’3和第二掩膜版21的第二主体部211无交叠。

其中,如图1A、图1B所示,多条连接引线13中的每条连接引线13包括位于基板11的第一表面11a一侧的第一部131、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧的第二部132和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部133。每条连接引线13的第一部131与一个第一绑定电极12电连接。
激光刻蚀导电层13’形成多条连接引线13包括:如图29、图30、图33和图34所示,至少激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132。
S61、去除第一掩膜版20。
S62、如图32、图36所示,去除第二掩膜版21。导电层的第三部位于第二掩膜版21上的部分随第二掩膜版21的去除一并去除,形成间隙。
在一些实施例中,如图31和图35所示,沿第一方向X上,连接引线13的第三部133的尺寸大于与其相连的第二绑定电极19的尺寸。
在另一些实施例中,沿第一方向X上,连接引线13的第三部133的尺寸等于与其相连的第二绑定电极19的尺寸。
在又一些实施例中,沿第一方向X上,连接引线13的第三部133的尺寸小于与其相连的第二绑定电极19的尺寸。
示例性地,在上述步骤中,设置第一掩膜版20的步骤在形成阵列层的步骤之后,设置第二掩膜版21的步骤在形成多个第二绑定电极19的步骤之后。
示例性地,在上述步骤中,形成阵列层的步骤和形成多个第二绑定电极的步骤不限定先后顺序。
示例性地,在上述步骤中,去除第一掩膜版的步骤在形成多条连接引线的第二部之后,且在形成多条连接引线的第一部之前。
示例性地,在上述步骤中,去除第二掩膜版的步骤在形成多条连接引线的第二部之后,且在形成多条连接引线的第三部之前。
在步骤S5中,形成多条连接引线的第一部和第二部的方法参见前文,此处不再赘述。
以下对显示面板包括多个第二绑定电极19时,形成多条连接引线13的第三部133的方法做介绍。
在一些实施例中,在设置第二掩膜版的步骤中,第二掩膜版包括第二主体 部。其中,第二主体部至少包覆多个第二绑定电极的第二子部靠近基板的选定侧面的部分。
在这种情况下,激光Laser2对导电层的第二部分进行刻蚀,形成多条连接引线的第二部。由于多个第二绑定电极的第二子部靠近基板的选定侧面的部分被第二掩膜版的第二主体部包覆其中,因此,当激光将第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分刻蚀去除后,激光被第二掩膜版的第二主体部遮挡,从而避免第二绑定电极19的第二子部192被激光的残余能量损伤的问题。
接着,去除第二掩膜版21。然后,激光Laser3沿图1B中所示的方向将导电层的第三部分的多个第三刻蚀区对应的部分刻蚀去除,从而形成完整的多条连接引线的第三部。
具体方法步骤可参照前文对于第一掩膜版仅包括第一主体部的情况下,形成多条连接引线的第一部的方法。
在另一些实施例中,在设置第二掩膜版21的步骤中,如图28、图32所示,第二掩膜版21包括第二主体部211和多个第二指部212。其中,第二主体部201至少包覆多个第二绑定电极19的第二子部192靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分。
示例性地,显示面板包括B(B≥1,B为正整数)个沿第一方向X间隔排布的第二绑定电极19,那么,沿第一方向X上,B个第二绑定电极19之间有(B-1)个间隙区域,相应地,第二掩膜版21的第二指部212的数量小于或者等于(B-1)个。
可以理解的是,当第二掩膜版21的第二指部212的数量为零时,第二掩膜版21只包括第二主体部211。
在一些实施例中,第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212的数量较少,如图28所示,沿第一方向X上,第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212中的任意两个第二指部212之间包括至少两个第二绑定电极19。
示例性地,显示面板包括B(B≥3,B为正整数)个第二绑定电极19,那么,沿第一方向X上,B个第二绑定电极19有(B-1)个间隙区域,第二掩膜版21的第二指部212的数量小于(B-1)个,第二掩膜版21至多包括(B-2)个第二指部212。
需要说明的是,导电层13’的第三部分13’3的多个第三刻蚀区K3中的至少一个第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分与第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212存在交叠。如图28所示,多个第三刻蚀区K3包括第三类刻蚀区和第四类刻蚀区K33,每个第三类刻蚀区包括第三子刻蚀区K31和第四子刻蚀区K32,第三类 刻蚀区包括的第三子刻蚀区K31相较于该第三类刻蚀区的第四子刻蚀区K32更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。第三子刻蚀区K31、第四类刻蚀区K33和第二刻蚀区K2沿第一方向X上的尺寸相同。
在去除第二掩膜版21时,导电层13’的第三部分13’3位于第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212远离基板11一侧的部分为第四子刻蚀区K32对应的部分,可以理解的是,导电层13’的第三部分13’3的第四子刻蚀区K32对应的部分会在去除第二掩膜版21时随第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212一起被去除。
在这种情况下,在步骤S5中,至少激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132,包括以下几种情况。
在一些实施例中,如图29、图33所示,步骤S5包括:S5a、激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132。
在上述步骤中,如图29和图30所示,激光Laser2沿图32中所示的方向将导电层13’的第二部分13’2的多个第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分刻蚀去除,形成多条连接引线13的第二部132。
在这个过程中,激光将多个第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分刻蚀去除后,激光的残余能量还会对导电层13’的第三部分13’3靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分造成损伤。示例性地,在形成多条连接引线13的第二部132之后,激光的残余能量将导电层13’的第三部分13’3中多个第三子刻蚀区K31对应的部分刻蚀去除。
在这种情况下,在去除第一掩膜版的步骤之后,还包括:步骤S71a、激光刻蚀导电层13’的第一部分13’1形成多条连接引线13的第一部131。
在这种情况下,在去除第二掩膜版的步骤之后,如图30所示,还包括:步骤S72a、激光刻蚀导电层13’的第三部分13’3形成多条连接引线13的第三部133。
可以理解的是,在上述步骤中,步骤S71和步骤S72的先后顺序不做限定。
在另一些实施例中,步骤S5包括:S5b、激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132,激光刻蚀导电层13’的第一部分13’1形成多条连接引线13的第一部131。
在上述步骤中,形成多条连接引线的第一部和第二部的方法参见前文,此处不再赘述。
在这种情况下,在去除第一掩膜版的步骤之后,形成了完整的多条连接引 线13的第一部131。
在这种情况下,在去除第二掩膜版的步骤之后,还包括:步骤S72b、激光刻蚀导电层13’的第三部分13’3形成多条连接引线13的第三部133。
在又一些实施例中,步骤S5包括:S5c、激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132,激光刻蚀导电层13’的第三部分13’3形成多条连接引线13的第三部133。
因为导电层13’的第三部分13’3的多个第四子刻蚀区K32对应的部分在去除第二掩膜版21时会随着第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212一起被去除。因此,在上述步骤中,激光刻蚀导电层13’的第三部分13’3时,如图33所示,仅需将导电层13’的第三部分13’3的多个第三子刻蚀区K31和多个第四类刻蚀区K33对应的部分刻蚀去除。
可以理解的是,在这种情况下,省去了激光刻蚀多个第四子刻蚀区K32对应的部分的时间,进一步地,提高了生产效率。
在这种情况下,在去除第一掩膜版的步骤之后,还包括:步骤S71c、激光刻蚀导电层13’的第一部分13’1形成多条连接引线13的第一部131。
在这种情况下,在去除第二掩膜版的步骤之后,如图31、图35所示,形成了完整的多条连接引线13的第三部133。
在再一些实施例中,步骤S5包括:S5d、激光刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2形成多条连接引线13的第二部132,激光刻蚀导电层13’的第一部分13’1形成多条连接引线13的第一部131,激光刻蚀导电层13’的第三部分13’3形成多条连接引线13的第三部133。
在另一些实施例中,第二掩膜版21的多个第二指部212的数量较多,如图32所示,多个第二绑定电极19中的任意两个相邻的第二绑定电极19之间的间隙区域内均设置有一个第二掩膜版21的第二指部212。
示例性地,显示面板包括B(B≥2,B为正整数)个第二绑定电极19,那么,沿第一方向X上,B个第二绑定电极19有(B-1)个间隙区域,第二掩膜版21的第二指部212的数量为(B-1)个,第二掩膜版21包括(B-1)个第二指部212。
在这种情况下,在步骤S5中,如图32所示,导电层13’的第三部13’3的第三刻蚀区K3包括的第四子刻蚀区K32对应的部分与第二掩膜版21的第二指部212存在交叠。
在这种情况下,在形成多条连接引线13的第二部132的过程中,激光Laser2刻蚀导电层13’的第二部分13’2。
在一些实施例中,如图33所示,激光仅将导电层13’的多个与第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分刻蚀去除。
在另一些实施例中,如图34所示,激光将导电层13’的多个与第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分刻蚀去除后,激光的残余能量还会对导电层13’的第三部分13’3的靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分造成损伤。
示例性地,如图32、图34所示,形成多条连接引线13的第二部132时,激光将导电层13’的多个与第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分刻蚀去除后,激光还会将导电层13’的第三部分13’3的多个第三子刻蚀区K31对应的部分刻蚀去除。在这种情况下,去除第二掩膜版21后,形成了如图35所示的多条连接引线13的第三部133。
可以理解的是,激光从一个方向射向导电层的第二部分和第三部分,相较于如图1B所示,激光分别沿两个方向射向导电层对导电层的第二部分和第三部分进行刻蚀,减少了制作工序。
在一些实施例中,在设置第一掩膜版20的步骤之前,如图36、图37所示,还包括:在驱动线路层14远离基板11的一侧形成发光器件层G。
其中,如图36~图39所示,第一掩膜版20至少包括第一主体部201,或者第一掩膜版20包括第一主体部和多个第一指部,第一主体部201至少包覆驱动线路层14靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分。第一掩膜版20的主体部201还包覆发光器件层G靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分。
图38和图39为根据图36中截面线GG和HH得到的截面图,这样在激光刻蚀形成多条连接引线的过程中,激光被第一掩膜版20阻挡,由于第一掩膜版20的保护作用,激光不会对发光器件层造成损伤,提高了显示面板的品质。
在另一些实施例中,在形成了完整的多条连接引线之后,如图40、图41所示,还包括:在驱动线路层14远离基板11的一侧形成发光器件层G。
可以理解的是,形成发光器件层G的步骤,可以在形成完整的多条连接引线13的步骤之前,也可以在形成完整的多条连接引线13的步骤之后。
示例性地,如图1C、图40所示,第一子间隙区域151沿第二方向Y的尺寸p1小于第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的边界在基板11上的正投影与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离为L2。
另一方面,本公开的实施例提供一种显示面板100,如图1A、图1B、图40、图41所示,包括:基板11、驱动线路层14、多个第一绑定电极12、多条连接引线13。基板11包括第一表面11a、第二表面11b以及连接第一表面 11a和第二表面11b的多个侧面11c,多个侧面11c中的至少一个侧面11c为选定侧面11cc。
基板11的第一表面11a包括显示区AA和位于显示区AA至少一侧的周边区AN,周边区AN相较于显示区AA更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。驱动线路层14设置于显示区AA的。多个第一绑定电极12设置于周边区AN,沿第一方向X间隔排布。第一方向X平行于基板11的选定侧面11cc和基板11的第一表面11a。
多条连接引线13沿第一方向X间隔排布。多条连接引线13中的每条连接引线13包括位于基板11的第一表面11a一侧的第一部131、位于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧的第二部132和位于基板11的第二表面11b一侧的第三部133。每条连接引线13的第一部131与一个第一绑定电极12电连接。
相邻两条连接引线13的第一部131由第一间隙J1间隔,第一间隙J1包括第一类间隙区域15。第一类间隙区域15包括第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152,每个第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151相对于该第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。如图23、图26所示,每个第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸p3小于该第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸p4。
本申请上述实施例提供的显示面板中的多条连接引线13中相邻两条连接引线13的第一部131由第一间隙J1间隔,第一间隙J1包括第一类间隙区域15。第一类间隙区域15包括第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152,每个第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸p3小于该第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸p4,参照前边对于显示面板的制备方法的介绍,多条连接引线13具备上述结构特征,这是由于在制备过程中,在形成导电层以及激光刻蚀之前,在驱动线路层14上设置第一掩膜版20,将驱动线路层14靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分的包覆其中,从而激光Laser2沿由垂直于基板11的选定侧面11cc一侧照射向导电层13’时,射向驱动线路层14的激光被第一掩膜版20的主体部201遮挡,对驱动线路层14起到了保护作用,避免了激光对驱动线路层14造成损伤,从而避免了驱动线路层14受到激光照射后导致被配置为传输电路信号的部分线路被激光刻蚀去除或损伤,从而影响电路信号正常传输的问题,进而提高了显示面板的信赖性。
并且,由于第一掩膜版20包括第一主体部201和多个第一指部202,形 成在多个第一指部202上的导电层能够随着第一掩膜版20的去除而一并去除,从而无需对该部分导电层进行激光刻蚀,即可形成第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152,且第二子间隙区域152的尺寸与第一指部202的尺寸相同或大致相同,从而节省激光刻蚀步骤,减少激光刻蚀范围,提高了生产效率。
需要说明的是,在显示面板的制备过程中,第一掩膜版20只包括第一主体部201,就能起到保护驱动线路层14的作用。在一些可能的情况中,第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸p3大于或等于该第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸p4。在显示面板的制备过程中,第一掩膜版20包括第一主体部201,当激光刻蚀形成多条连接引线13的第二部132后,激光的残余能量会继续沿Laser2方向射向基板11,将相邻的两条连接引线13的第一部131之间靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分刻蚀去除,在这种情况下,第一子间隙区域151由来自显示面板的选定侧面一侧的激光Laser2刻蚀得到,第二子间隙区域152由来自显示面板的第一表面一侧的激光Laser1刻蚀得到,两个方向的激光的刻蚀宽度可以一致或不一致,相应的,使得第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152在第一方向上的尺寸一致或不一致。
需要说明的是,第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子间隙区域151也可以是由来自显示面板的第一表面一侧的激光Laser1刻蚀得到的,在这种情况下,第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152都是由来自显示面板的第一表面一侧的激光Laser1刻蚀得到的。
在显示面板的制备过程中,为保证刻蚀区(第一刻蚀区K1、第二刻蚀区K2或者第三刻蚀区K3)对应的部分被完全刻蚀去除(即需要被刻蚀去除的部分不会在刻蚀工艺结束后存在残留),不会出现导电层本应被刻蚀去除的部分存在残留导致本应彼此之间不存在电连接关系的多条连接引线中的至少两条连接引线存在电连接,导致信号传输异常的问题,激光在往返扫描时,激光的刻蚀路径相较于刻蚀区更大,激光刻蚀的范围会超出需要刻蚀的长度。
示例性地,如图37、图41所示,第一刻蚀区K1的第一子刻蚀区K11沿第一方向X上的尺寸例如为0.5mm时,则在刻蚀第一子刻蚀区K11时,激光沿第一方向X上的扫描路径相较于第一刻蚀区K1的第一子刻蚀区K11沿第一方向X上的尺寸超出10~13μm。
可以理解的是,虽然第一间隙J1是由第一刻蚀区K1被去除形成的,但是第一间隙J1对应的部分在基板11上的正投影将第一刻蚀区K1对应的部分在基板11上的正投影包围其中。示例性地,第一间隙J1在沿第一方向X的 尺寸与第一刻蚀区K1沿第一方向X的尺寸之差的绝对值的范围为10~13μm,第一间隙J1在第二方向Y的尺寸与第一刻蚀区K1第二方向Y的尺寸之差的绝对值的范围为10~13μm。
相应地,第二间隙J2对应的部分在基板11上的正投影将第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分在基板11上的正投影包围其中。示例性地,第二间隙J2在沿第一方向X的尺寸与第二刻蚀区K2沿第一方向X的尺寸之差的绝对值的范围为10~13μm,第二间隙J2在第二方向Y的尺寸与第二刻蚀区K2沿第二方向Y的尺寸之差的绝对值的范围为10~13μm。
第三间隙J3对应的部分在基板11上的正投影将第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分在基板11上的正投影包围其中。示例性地,第三间隙J3在沿第一方向X的尺寸与第三刻蚀区K3沿第一方向X的尺寸之差的绝对值的范围为10~13μm,第三间隙J3在第二方向Y的尺寸与第三刻蚀区K3第二方向Y的尺寸之差的绝对值的范围为10~13μm。
在一些实施例中,如图40、图41所示,每个第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第二方向Y上的尺寸p1小于或者等于该第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152沿第二方向Y上的尺寸p2。第二方向Y与连接引线13的第一部131的延伸方向平行。
示例性地,每个第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第二方向Y上的尺寸p1大于或者等于33μm且小于或者等于73μm。
在一些示例中,每个第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第二方向Y上的尺寸p1大于或者等于30μm且小于或者等于70μm。
在多条连接引线13的制备过程中,激光刻蚀形成多条连引线13的132时,激光残余能量还会对将连接引线13的第一部131靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的部分刻蚀掉一部分,相应地,也会对第一掩膜版20的第一指部202靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的一部分造成损伤,使得激光(沿第二方向Y)刻蚀长度大于第一掩膜版20的第一指部202与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离。可以理解的是,这样的情况下,第一子间隙区域151沿第二方向Y的尺寸相较于第一指部202与选定侧面11cc的沿第二方向Y的距离增大。
如图40、图41所示,每个第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第二方向Y上的尺寸小于或者等于该第一类间隙区域15的第二子间隙区域152沿第二方向Y上的尺寸,在显示面板的制备过程中,第一掩膜版的第一指部沿第二方向上的尺寸较长,第一指部尽可能延伸向靠近选定侧边的位置,从而能更有效地阻挡激光射向驱动线路层,导电层中形成在多个第一指部上 的无需被激光刻蚀的部分更多,进一步减少激光刻蚀范围,提高生产效率。
在一些实施例中,如图40、图41所示,每个第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸之差的范围为0~100μm。
每个第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸之差的范围例如0、55μm或者100μm。
第一类间隙区域15的尺寸会影响其紧邻的连接引线13的尺寸,每个第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸不能相差过大,在保证相邻两条连接引线13之间的电绝缘的基础上,保证多条连接引线13的尺寸均一性,保证其电学性能的均一性。
在一些实施例中,如图41所示,多条连接引线13中的任意两条相邻的连接引线13的第一部131由第一类间隙区域15间隔。
如图41所示,每两条相邻的连接引线13的第一部131均由第一类间隙区域15间隔,也就是说,在显示面板的制备过程中,第一掩膜版20例如如图25所示,包括多个第一指部202,且多个第一指部202一一对应的位于每相邻的两个第一绑定电极12之间的间隙区域,从而得到的多条连接引线13中的第一部131均由第一类间隙区域15间隔开。
在一些实施例中,如图40所示,第一间隙J1还包括第二类间隙区域16,第二类间隙区域16沿第一方向X上的尺寸p5等于第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸p3。
如图36所示,第二类间隙区域16通过激光刻蚀导电层13’中的第二类刻蚀区K13得到,第一类间隙区域15通过激光刻蚀导电层中的第一子刻蚀区K11得到,由此,如图40所示,第二类间隙区域16沿第一方向X上的尺寸均一不变,且第二类间隙区域16沿第一方向X上的尺寸等于第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸,均等于激光刻蚀的设定刻蚀宽度。
在一些示例中,如图40所示,第一类间隙区域15和至少一个第二类间隙区域16交替设置。
多个第一间隙J1中第一类间隙区域15和第二类间隙区域16的设置方式与第一掩膜版的第一指部的设置方式有关,设置方式为一个第一类间隙区域15和至少一个第二类间隙区域16交替设置,也就是说每相邻两个第一类间隙区域15之间设置有至少一个第二类间隙区域16,如图40所示,相邻两个第一类间隙区域15之间设置有一个、两个或多个第二类间隙区域16。
在一些实施例中,如图40、图41所示,多个第一类间隙区域15中,每个第一类间隙区域15中的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152的分界线,相较于多个第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的一端的边界,更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。
如图40、图41所示,第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152的分界线与选定侧面11cc之间的距离p6,小于多个第一绑定电极12与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离L2,第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152的分界线为第一掩膜版20的第一指部202靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的一端的边界,第一掩膜版20的第一指部202超过多个第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的一端的边界,第一指部202尽可能延伸向靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的位置,从而进一步减少激光刻蚀范围,提高生产效率。
在一些实施例中,多个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X并列间隔排布。如图40、图41所示,第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的尺寸p9小于或者等于与该第一绑定电极12连接的连接引线13的第一部131沿第一方向X上的尺寸p8/p8’。
为了保证连接引线13第一绑定电极12的有效连接,连接引线的第一部131沿第一方向X上的尺寸一般会比与其连接的第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的尺寸大一些或者相等,从而二者具有更大的接触面积,能够更稳固连接。
需要说明的是,由于第一类间隙区域15包括尺寸不等的第一子间隙区域151和第二子间隙区域152,因此被该第一类间隙区域15分隔开的连接引线13的第一部131也被分为尺寸不等的两部分,连接引线13的第一部131沿第一方向X上的尺寸为连接引线13的第一部131的两部分分别沿第一方向X上的尺寸的平均值。
在一些实施例中,如图40、图41所示,第一类间隙区域15沿第一方向X上的尺寸小于或者等于与其相邻的两个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距p10。
如图40、图41所示,第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸p3和第二子间隙区域152沿第一方向X上的尺寸p4均小于或者等于与其相邻的两个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距p10。
对应显示面板的制备方法,第一掩膜版包括多个第一指部,第一指部沿第一方向X上的尺寸小于或等于与其相邻的两个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X上的间距p10,第一指部对应的区域形成第二子间隙区域152,第一子间隙区 域151由激光刻蚀宽度决定。
在一些实施例中,如图40、图41所示,相邻的两条连接引线13的第二部132之间由第二间隙J2间隔。第二间隙J2均为激光刻蚀导电层的第二刻蚀区K2得到的。示例性地,多个第二间隙J2沿第一方向X上的尺寸相等。
示例性地,在形成多条连接引线13的第二部132时,激光将导电层13’的第二刻蚀区K2对应的部分刻蚀去除后,激光的残余能量还会将导电层13’的第一子刻蚀区K11对应的部分刻蚀去除,可以理解的是,第二间隙J2和与其相连的第一间隙J1的第一子间隙区域151都是在同一步骤中由相同的激光刻蚀形成。因此,第二间隙J2和与其相连的第一间隙J1的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X的尺寸相等。
在一些实施例中,如图1A所示,显示面板100包括第一绑定电极和多条连接引线,在基板的第二表面一侧不设置绑定电极,从而多条连接引线的第三部远离选定侧面的部分与集成电路芯片或者柔性线路板电连接,以充当绑定电极。
在一些实施例中,如图1B、图42、图43和图44所示,显示面板100还包括:多个第二绑定电极19。多个第二绑定电极19设置于基板11的第二表面11b一侧,且沿第一方向X间隔排布。每个第二绑定电极19包括第一子部191和第二子部192,每个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191相较于第二子部192更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。每条连接引线13的第三部133与一个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191电连接。第二绑定电极19的第一子部191的延伸方向和与其电连接的连接引线13的第三部133的延伸方向相同。
第二绑定电极19呈非直线状,第二绑定电极19包括的第一子部191和第二子部192延伸方向不同。
如图42、图43和图44所示,相邻两条连接引线13的第三部133之间由第三间隙J3间隔,第三间隙J3包括第三类间隙区域17,多个第三类间隙区域17中的每个第三类间隙区域17包括第三子间隙区域171和第四子间隙区域172,每个第三类间隙区域17的第三子间隙区域171相较于该第三类间隙区域17的第四子间隙区域172更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。每个第三类间隙区域17的第三子间隙区域171沿第一方向X上的尺寸t1小于该第三类间隙区域17的第四子间隙区域172沿第一方向X上的尺寸t2。
参照前边对于显示面板的制备方法的描述,激光Laser2对导电层的第二部分进行刻蚀,形成多条连接引线的第二部。由于多个第二绑定电极的第二子部靠近基板的选定侧面的部分被第二掩膜版的第二主体部包覆其中,因此,当 激光将第三刻蚀区K3对应的部分刻蚀去除后,激光被第二掩膜版的第二主体部遮挡,从而避免第二绑定电极19的第二子部192被激光的残余能量损伤的问题。并且,第二掩膜版还包括第二指部,形成在多个第二指部上的导电层能够随着第二掩膜版的去除而一并去除,从而无需对该部分导电层(第四子刻蚀区K32)进行激光刻蚀,即可形成第三间隙的第四子间隙区域172,且第四子间隙区域172的尺寸与第二指部的尺寸一致,从而节省激光刻蚀步骤,减少激光刻蚀范围,提高了生产效率。在最终得到的多条连接引线的第三部具有与第二掩膜版相对应的结构特征,相邻第三部由第三间隙间隔,每个第三类间隙区域17的第三子间隙区域171沿第一方向X上的尺寸小于该第三类间隙区域17的第四子间隙区域172沿第一方向X上的尺寸。
在一些实施例中,如图44所示,多条连接引线13中的任意两条相邻的连接引线13的第三部133由第三类间隙区域17间隔。
多条连接引线13中的每两条相邻的连接引线13的第三部133由第三类间隙区域17间隔,对应图33中的第二掩膜版21,第二掩膜版21包括多个第二指部,多个第二指部和每相邻两个第二绑定电极的间隙一一对应,从而得到的多条连接引线13有如上特征。
在一些实施例中,如图42、图43所示,第三间隙J3还包括第四类间隙区域18,第三类间隙区域17和至少一个第四类间隙区域18交替设置。第四类间隙区域18沿第一方向X上的尺寸t3等于第三类间隙区域17的第三子间隙区域171沿第一方向X上的尺寸t1。
如图28所示,第四类间隙区域18通过激光刻蚀导电层13’中的第四类刻蚀区K33得到,第三类间隙区域17通过激光刻蚀导电层中的第三子刻蚀区K31和第四子刻蚀区K32得到,由此,如图42、图43所示,第四类间隙区域18沿第一方向X上的尺寸均一不变,且第四类间隙区域18沿第一方向X上的尺寸t3等于第一类间隙区域15的第一子间隙区域151沿第一方向X上的尺寸,均等于激光刻蚀的设定刻蚀宽度。
在一些实施例中,如图42、图43、图44所示,多个第三类间隙区域17中,每个第三类间隙区域17中的第三子间隙区域171和第四子间隙区域172的分界线,相较于多个第二绑定电极19靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的一端的边界,更靠近选定侧面11cc。
如图42、图43、图44所示,第三子间隙区域171和第四子间隙区域172的分界线与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离t4,小于多个第二绑定电极19与选定侧面之间的距离t5。
进一步地,如图42所示,第三子间隙区域171和第四子间隙区域172的分界线与连接引线13的第三部133远离基板11的选定侧面11cc的一侧边界的距离t9大于,第三子间隙区域171和第四子间隙区域172的分界线与选定侧面11cc之间的距离t4。
采用这样的设计,第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子间隙区域151沿第二方向Y的尺寸小于该第一类间隙区域15包括的第二子间隙区域152沿第二方向Y的尺寸。第一类间隙区域15包括的第二子间隙区域152例如是在去除第二掩膜版21时随着第二指部212的去除所形成的,该第一类间隙区域15包括的第一子间隙区域151例如是通过激光刻蚀形成的,可以理解的是,采用这样的设计,减少了激光刻蚀的范围,进一步地提高了连接引线13的制备效率。
示例性地,如图43所示,第二绑定电极19的第一子部191包括第一连接子部1911和第二连接子部1912,每个第一子部191的第一连接子部1911相较于该第一子部191的第二连接子部1912更靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc。第三子间隙区域171和第四子间隙区域172的分界线与基板11的选定侧面11cc之间的距离t4,大于多个第二绑定电极19与选定侧面之间的距离t5。
每个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191的第二连接子部1912被配置为与该第二绑定电极19的第二子部192电连接,该第二绑定电极19的第一子部191的第一子连接部1911被配置与一条连接引线13的第三部133电连接。
参见图43,当第二绑定电极19呈非直线状时,第二绑定电极19靠近基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分的延伸方向垂直于基板11的选定侧面11cc,第二绑定电极19远离基板11的选定侧面11cc的部分的延伸方向与基板11的选定侧面11cc所在的平面呈一定夹角。
可以理解的是,如果第二绑定电极19的宽度唯一,例如第二绑定电极的第一子部191包括的第二子连接部1912在垂直于其延伸方向上的尺寸与该第一子部191包括的第一子连接部1911在垂直于其延伸方向上的尺寸相同,那么,相邻的两个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191的第二子连接部1912存在相接造成短路的风险。
因此,采用第一子部191的第二子连接部1912在垂直于其延伸方向上的尺寸小于该第一子部191的第一子连接部1911在垂直于其延伸方向上的尺寸的设计,将每个第一子部191的第二子连接部1912作为过渡连接部,从而在增大第二绑定电极19与连接引线13的交叠面积的同时,保证多个第二绑定电极19之间能够保证独立分隔开,不会造成多个第二绑定电极19中的任意 两个第二绑定电极19相接造成线路短路的问题。
进一步地,每个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191包括的第一连接子部1911沿第一方向X的尺寸该第一子部191包括的第二连接子部1912沿第一方向X的尺寸。第二连接子部1912和与其电连接的连接引线13的第三部133存在交叠。可以理解的是,采用这样的设计,使得第二绑定电极19与连接引线13电连接的部分的交叠面积增大,使得第二绑定电极19和与其电连接的连接引线13能够保证充分接触,进而保证第二绑定电极19与连接引线13的连接稳定性。
同时,由于第二绑定电极19与连接引线的连接部分的面积增大,相应地,在其余条件(例如第二绑定电极19在垂直于基板11的方向上的尺寸和第二绑定电极19与连接引线13存在交叠的部分沿第二方向Y的尺寸)不变的情况下,这部分的阻抗也会减小,使得第二绑定电极19和连接引线13之间的信号传输更稳定。
示例性地,如图43所示,第二绑定电极19的第一子部191的第二连接子部1912和该第二绑定电极19的第二子部192的宽度相同或大致相同。这里所说的第二连接子部1912和第二子部192的宽度是指第二连接子部1912/第二子部192在垂直于其延伸方向上的尺寸。
在一些实施例中,如图42、图43、图44所示,多个第二绑定电极19沿第一方向X间隔排布。第二绑定电极19的第一子部191沿第一方向X上的尺寸t6小于或者等于与该第二绑定电极19连接的连接引线13的第三部133沿第一方向X上的尺寸t7。
在一些实施例中,如图42、图43、图44所示,第三类间隙区域17的沿第一方向X上的尺寸小于或者等于与其相邻的两个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191沿第一方向X上的间距t8。
第三类间隙区域17的第三子间隙区域171沿第一方向X上的尺寸t1和第四子间隙区域172沿第一方向X上的尺寸t2均小于或者等于与其相邻的两个第二绑定电极19的第一子部191沿第一方向X上的间距t8。
进一步地,如图38、图39所示,显示面板100还包括发光器件层G,发光器件层G包括多个发光器件G1和保护膜G3。
示例性地,显示面板100包括至少三种颜色的子像素P,该多种颜色的子像素至少包括第一颜色子像素、第二颜色子像素和第三颜色子像素,第一颜色、第二颜色和第三颜色为三基色(例如红色、绿色和蓝色)。示例性地,每个子像素P包括至少一个发光器件G1。
在一些示例中,如图38、图39所示,保护膜G3包括覆盖多个发光器件G1的部分和填充多个发光器件G1的间隙区域的部分。示例性地,保护膜G3的材料可以为黑色硅胶或者黑色树脂等。保护膜G3能够对多个发光器件G1进行保护,避免多个发光器件G1在形成发光器件G1之后的工艺制程中受到损坏。
示例性地,发光器件G1包括但不限于OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)、Mini LED(Mini Light-Emitting Diode,迷你发光二极管)、Micro LED(Micro Light-Emitting Diode,微型发光二极管)等。
又一方面,提供一种显示装置1000,如图45所示,包括:如上述任一实施例所述的显示面板100。
采用迷你发光二极管或微型发光二极管作为发光器件G1,相较于传统LED,所占体积更小,颗粒更小,在同样的屏幕尺寸内,单位面积内光源密度更高且光源单位尺寸更小,因此能够对发光器件G1实现更为精密的局部控制,不会产生发光器件G1亮度不匀的问题,可以保证显示亮度的均匀度,从而保证显示装置1000的显示质量。
在一些实施例中,显示装置1000还包括集成电路芯片和柔性电路板F。
示例性地,集成电路芯片被配置为与柔性电路板F实现电气连接,通过集成电路芯片发出控制信号,再通过柔性电路板F将驱动信号传递至多条连接引线13,并通过多条连接引线13传递至多个第一绑定电极12。多个第一绑定电极12被配置为与驱动线路层14实现电连接。
驱动线路层14例如包括多条信号线等结构,驱动线路层14与发光器件层G耦接,被配置为驱动发光器件层G发光。具体地,第一绑定电极12接收多条连接引线13传输的驱动信号并将该驱动信号传递至驱动线路层14,从而控制发光器件层G发光,使得显示装置1000显示画面。
示例性地,如图38、图39所示,发光器件层G还包括像素驱动芯片G2。可以理解的是,驱动线路层14还可以与像素驱动芯片G2连接,使得像素驱动芯片G2控制发光器件G1的发光亮度。具体地,可以是三个发光器件G1由一个像素驱动芯片G2驱动控制,在此不做限定,仅作为对一种可能的实施方式的举例说明。
再一方面,提供一种拼接显示装置10000,如图46所示,包括:多个如上述任一实施例所述的显示装置1000。
示例性地,拼接显示装置10000中的多个显示装置1000呈阵列排布。
示例性地,如图46所示,显示装置1000例如为矩形。
显示面板100中,多个第一绑定电极12沿第一方向X并列排布,相应地,多条连接引线13也是沿第一方向X并列排布,将平行与显示装置1000的显示面,且垂直于第一方向X的另一方向称为第二方向Y。显示装置1000包括多个侧面,以下,将显示装置1000的多个侧面中靠近基板11的周边区AN的侧面称为显示装置1000的选定侧面进行描述。
示例性地,如图40、图41所示,显示面板100包括显示区AA和位于显示区AA一侧的周边区AN,多条连接引线13和多个第一绑定电极12靠近基板11的周边区AN设置。
进一步地,如图46所示,将多个包括如图46所示的显示面板100的显示装置1000拼接时,将相邻的两个显示装置1000的选定侧面均沿第一方向X设置,这样,沿第一方向X上排成一排的多个显示装置1000中,相邻两个显示装置1000之间沿第一方向X基本没有拼缝;沿第二方向Y上排成一列的多个显示装置1000中相邻两个显示装置1000之间有拼接缝隙。
也就是说沿第一方向X上排成一排的多个显示装置1000中,相邻两个显示装置之间的拼接缝隙的尺寸,小于沿第二方向Y上排成一列的多个显示装置1000中相邻两个显示装置1000之间的拼接缝隙的尺寸。但周边区AN在第二方向Y上的尺寸很小,因此拼接显示装置10000在实际观看时,相邻两个显示装置1000之间的拼缝在观看距离内较难被肉眼发现,从而使得拼接显示装置10000的显示画面较完整,可以呈现较佳的显示效果。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
