在一些示例性中,参阅图6,发光功能层30包括多层发光层310、电荷产生层320、电子传输层330、电子注入层340、空穴传输层350和空穴注入层360,以提高发光效率延长使用寿命。其中,电荷产生层320设置于相邻的两层发光层310之间,电子传输层330和电子注入层340设置于发光层310和第二电极层40之间,空穴传输层350和空穴注入层360设置于发光层310和第一电极层20之间。
在此基础上,如图6所示,电荷产生层320设置于相邻的两层发光层310之间,且电荷产生层320与靠近第一电极层20且相邻的一层发光层310之间,还可以设置有电子传输层330和电子注入层340,与靠近第二电极层40且相邻的另一层发光层310之间,还可以设置有空穴传输层350和空穴注入层360。

需要说明的是,第二电极层40的材料包括银、镁、铜、铝、铂、钯、金、镍、钕、铱、铬、锂、钙、氟化锂、钼、钛、铟、锡、锌和镱及其氧化物中的至少一种。
然而,相关技术中,发光颜色不同的发光器件中,一部分的发光效率较高,一部分的发光效率较低,从而导致显示面板的整体的发光效率下降。在本文中,发光效率指的是亮度与驱动电流的比值。
经发明人研究发现,发光颜色不同的发光器件的发光效率较高时,第二电极层的反射率并不相同。但是,相关技术中,第二电极层为连续的整层结构,且第二电极层的厚度相等,导致发光颜色不同的发光器件中,仅能使得一部分发光器件的发光效率较高,另一部分的发光器件的发光效率较低,从而导致显示面板的发光效率下降。
基于此,本公开的一些实施例提供的显示面板100中,参阅图7,第二电极层40包括多个第二电极41,且第二电极41、发光部31和第一电极21在衬底10上的正投影至少部分重合,且重合的部分形成发光器件210。
其中,如图7所示,多个发光器件210包括发光颜色不同的第一发光器件211和第二发光器件212,第一发光器件211与第二发光器件212的第二电极40的厚度不相等。在这种情况下,可以通过改变第一发光器件211和第二发光器件212的第二电极41的厚度,对第一发光器件211和第二发光器件212的第二电极41的反射率分别调整,以使得第一发光器件211和第二发光器件212的发光效率均可以达到较高的水平(例如大于或等于100%),从而提高显示面板100的发光效率。
示例性地,参阅图7,第一发光器件211的发光颜色为红色或绿色,第二发光器件212的发光颜色为蓝色。
在此基础上,如图7所示,第一发光器件211的第二电极41的厚度,例如可以大于第
二发光器件212的第二电极41的厚度,使得第一发光器件211的第二电极41的反射率,大于第二发光器件212的第二电极41的的反射率。
图8为根据一些实施例的第一发光器件的发光效率与第二电极的反射率的关系的测试仿真结果图;图9为根据一些实施例的第二发光器件的发光效率与第二电极的反射率的关系的测试仿真结果图。由图8和图9可知,第一发光器件211的第二电极41的反射率,大于第二发光器件212的第二电极41的反射率时,可以提高第一发光器件211的发光效率。
例如,参阅图7,第一发光器件211的第二电极41的厚度为13nm~16nm。如,第一发光器件211的第二电极41的厚度为13nm、14nm、15nm和16nm中的任一者。第二发光器件212的第二电极41的厚度为10nm~12nm。如,第二发光器件212的第二电极41的厚度为10nm、11nm和12nm中的任一者。
在这种情况下,第一发光器件211和第三发光器件213的第二电极41的反射率为55%~60%,第二发光器件212的第二电极41的反射率为45%~50%。由图8和图9可知,第一发光器件211和第二发光器件212的发光效率高,可以进一步地提高显示面板100的发光效率。
在一些实施例中,如图7所示,多个发光器件210还包括第三发光器件213,第三发光器件213与第一发光器件211的发光颜色不同,且与第二发光器件212的发光颜色不同,以实现全彩显示。
且,第三发光器件213与第二发光器件212的第二电极40的厚度不相等。在这种情况下,可以通过改变第三发光器件213和第二发光器件212的第二电极41的厚度,对第三发光器件213和第二发光器件212的第二电极41的反射率分别调整,以使得第三发光器件213和第二发光器件212的发光效率均可以达到较高的水平(例如大于或等于100%),从而进一步地提高显示面板100的发光效率。
示例性地,参阅图7,第一发光器件211和第三发光器件213中,一者的发光颜色为红色,另一者的发光颜色为绿色,第二发光器件212的发光颜色为蓝色。例如,第一发光器件211的发光颜色为红色,第三发光器件213的发光颜色为绿色,第二发光器件212的发光颜色为蓝色。
下面以第一发光器件211的发光颜色为红色,第三发光器件213的发光颜色为绿色,第二发光器件212的发光颜色为蓝色为例,对本公开的一些实施例进行示意性说明,但是本公开的实施方式不限于此,并且也可以考虑任何其它发光颜色,只要应用相同的技术思想即可。
在此基础上,参阅图7,第三发光器件213的第二电极41的厚度,例如还可以大于第二发光器件212的第二电极41的厚度,使得第三发光器件213的第二电极41的反射率,
大于第二发光器件212的第二电极41的的反射率。
图10为根据一些实施例的第三发光器件的发光效率与第二电极的反射率的关系的测试仿真结果图。由图9和图10可知,第三发光器件213的第二电极41的反射率,大于第二发光器件212的第二电极41的反射率时,可以提高第三发光器件213的发光效率。
例如,参阅图7,第三发光器件213的第二电极41的厚度为13nm~16nm。如,第三发光器件213的第二电极41的厚度为13nm、14nm、15nm和16nm中的任一者。第二发光器件212的第二电极41的厚度为10nm~12nm。如,第二发光器件212的第二电极41的厚度为10nm、11nm和12nm中的任一者。
在这种情况下,结合图9和图10,第三发光器件213的第二电极41的反射率为55%~60%,第二发光器件212的第二电极41的反射率为45%~50%,第三发光器件213和第二发光器件212的发光效率高,可以进一步地提高显示面板100的发光效率。
此外,如图7所示,上述第三发光器件213的第二电极41的厚度,例如可以等于第一发光器件211的第二电极41的厚度。以这种方式设置,第一发光器件211和第三发光器件213可以通过同一工艺步骤形成,这样可以减少一次光刻工艺,从而简化工艺流程,降低制备成本,提高生产效率。
在一些实施例中,参阅图7,多个第二电极41间隔设置,且第二电极41在衬底10上的正投影的面积,与发光器件210在衬底10上的正投影的面积的比值为1~1.2。例如,第二电极41在衬底10上的正投影的面积,与发光器件210在衬底10上的正投影的面积的比值为1、1.02、1.05、1.08、1.1、1.13、1.15、1.17、1.18和1.2中的任一者。
此时,发光器件210发出的大部分光或所有的光均经过对应的第二电极41,这样可以提高发光器件210的发光效率,从而提高显示面板100的发光效率;同时,第二电极41可以间隔设置,不同的发光器件210的第二电极41区分明显,利于采用光刻工艺形成,且便于维护。当然,多个第二电极41也可以临接,或一个第二电极41的部分搭接至另一个第二电极41的上侧,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
需要说明的是,第二电极41在衬底10上的正投影的形状,与发光器件210在衬底10上的正投影的形状可以相同,也可以不同。例如,第二电极41在衬底10上的正投影的形状与发光器件210在衬底10上的正投影的形状相同,且为圆形、椭圆形、矩形和多边形中的任一者。
在一些实施例中,参阅图7,显示面板100还包括光取出层50,光取出层50设置于第二电极层40远离衬底10的一侧,以改善发光器件210的发光效率,提高使用寿命。
需要说明的是,光取出层50的材料包括空穴型的材料和/或电子型的材料,例如,光取出层50的材料包括芳胺类和/或噁唑类。光取出层50的厚度可以为50nm~70nm。例如,光取出层50的厚度可以为50nm、52nm、55nm、58nm、60nm、63nm、65nm、68nm和70nm
中的任一者。
其中,光取出层50包括多个光取出部51,第一电极21在衬底10上的正投影,位于光取出部51在衬底10上的正投影的范围内。且,光取出部51在衬底10上的正投影的边界,与第一电极21在衬底10上的正投影的边界之间的距离L为2μm~8μm。
例如,光取出部51在衬底10上的正投影的边界,与第一电极21在衬底10上的正投影的边界之间的距离L为2μm、3μm、4μm、5μm、6μm、7μm和8μm。此时,发光器件210发出的大部分光或所有的光均均经过对应的光取出部51,这样可以提高发光器件210的发光效率,从而提高显示面板100的发光效率。
在一些实施例中,参阅图7,多个光取出部51包括第一光取出部511和第二光取出部512,第一发光器件211在衬底10上的正投影,位于第一光取出部511在衬底上的正投影的范围内。第二发光器件212在衬底10上的正投影,位于第二光取出部512在衬底10上的正投影的范围内。且,第一光取出部511的厚度与第二光取出部512的厚度不相等。
经发明人研究发现,发光颜色不同的发光器件210的发光效率较高时,光取出部51的厚度并不相同。基于此,第一光取出部511的厚度与第二光取出部512的厚度不相等,这样第一光取出部511的厚度与第二光取出部512可以分别适配对应的厚度,以提高第一发光器件211和第二发光器件212的发光效率,从而提高显示面板100的发光效率。
在一些实施例中,参阅图7,多个发光器件210还包括第三发光器件213,第三发光器件213与第一发光器件211的发光颜色不同,且与第二发光器件212的发光颜色不同,以实现全彩显示。
在此基础上,多个光取出部51还包括第三光取出部513,第三发光器件213在衬底10上的正投影,位于第三光取出部513在衬底10上的正投影的范围内。第三光取出部513的厚度与第一光取出部511的厚度不相等,且与第二光取出部512的厚度不相等。
在这种情况下,第一光取出部511、第二光取出部512和第三光取出部513均可以适配对应的厚度,以提高第一发光器件211和第二发光器件212的发光效率,从而提高显示面板100的发光效率。
示例性地,参阅图7,第一发光器件211的发光颜色为红色,第三发光器件213的发光颜色为绿色,第二发光器件212的发光颜色为蓝色。
在此基础上,第一光取出部511和/或第三光取出部513的厚度大于第二光取出部512的厚度。和/或,第三光取出部513的厚度小于第一光取出部511的厚度。
图11为根据一些实施例的发光颜色不同的多个发光器件的发光效率与光取出层的厚度的关系的测试仿真结果图。由图11可知,第一光取出部511和/或第三光取出部513的厚度大于第二光取出部512的厚度时,可以提高第一发光器件211和/或第三发光器件213的发光效率。此外,第三光取出部513的厚度小于第一光取出部511的厚度,有利于进一
步地提高第一发光器件211的发光效率。
例如,参阅图7和图18,第一光取出部511的厚度大于或等于70nm,且小于80nm。如,第一光取出部511的厚度为70nm、72nm、73.5nm、75nm、77nm、78nm和79.5nm中的任一者。例如,第二光取出部512的厚度大于或等于45nm,且小于60nm。如,第二光取出部512的厚度为45nm、48nm、50nm、53nm、55nm、57nm、58nm和59.5nm。又例如,第三光取出部的厚度大于或等于60nm,且小于70nm。如,第三光取出部的厚度为60nm、63nm、65nm、66nm、68nm和69.5nm中的任一者。在这种情况下,结合图11可知,第一发光器件211、第二发光器件212和第三发光器件213的发光效率高,可以进一步地提高显示面板100的发光效率。
在一些实施例中,参阅图7和图12,显示面板100还包括透明导电层60,透明导电层60与第二电极层40连接,以降低第二电极层40的电阻,减小电流在流经时会产生相应的电流降,从而提升显示面板100的亮度均一性。
需要说明的是,透明导电层60的透明率大于或等于98%。例如,透明导电层60的材料包括氧化铟锡、氧化铟锌、铟镓锌氧化物和氧化锡中的任一者。
在一些示例中,参阅图7,透明导电层60设置于光取出层50和第二电极层40之间,这样可以在对发光器件210的发光效率的影响较小的情况下,增大传输电流的导电层(第二电极层40和透明导电层60)的厚度,基于电阻公式可知,可以减小传输电流的导电层的电阻,从而减小电流在流经时会产生相应的电流降,从而提升显示面板100的亮度均一性。
电阻公式如下:
R=ρ/d。
其中,R为电阻,ρ为电阻率,d为传输电流的导电层的厚度。
此时,上述透明导电层60的厚度可以为1nm~4nm。例如,透明导电层60的厚度可以为1nm、1.5nm、2nm、2.5nm、3nm、3.5nm和4nm中的任一者。
在一些示例中,参阅图12,透明导电层60设置于光取出层50远离第二电极层40的一侧,透明导电层60与第二电极层40形成并联关系,可以降低传输电流的导电层的电阻,从而减小电流在流经时会产生相应的电流降,从而提升显示面板100的亮度均一性。
此时,上述透明导电层60的厚度可以为10nm~100nm。例如,透明导电层60的厚度可以为10nm、20nm、30nm、40nm、50nm、60nm、70nm、80nm、90nm和100nm中的任一者。
在此基础上,参阅图12和图13,多个光取出部51可以间隔设置,且透明导电层60在多个光取出部51之间与第二电极41电接触。在这种情况下,可以在对光取出部51的厚度进行设计的过程中,同时使多个光取出部51间隔设置,以便于后续形成的透明导电层
60与第二电极41电接触,这样无需对透明导电层60与第二电极41的连接设计独立的工艺过程,可以简化工艺流程,降低制备成本。
此外,在透明导电层60设置于光取出层50远离第二电极层40的一侧的情况下,透明导电层60与光取出层50可以直接接触,或中间设置有其他膜层。
例如,如图12所示,透明导电层60设置于光取出层50远离第二电极层40的一侧,且透明导电层60与光取出层50直接接触,即透明导电层60与光取出层50之间没有设置其他膜层。此时,透明导电层60可以直接通过沉积工艺形成于光取出层50上,利用提高透明导电层60的厚度均一性。
又例如,如图13所示,透明导电层60设置于光取出层50远离第二电极层40的一侧,且透明导电层60与光取出层50之间设置有保护层70,以调节出光和保护光取出层50。该保护层70的材料可以包括高折射材料,以提高出光效率。如,保护层70的材料包括氟化锂。此时,氟化锂还具有紫外光的防护作用,可以降低后续工艺的紫外光的照射对发光器件210的影响。
在一些实施例中,如图14所示,显示面板100还包括封装层80,封装层80设置于第二电极层40远离衬底10的一侧,以降低水氧侵蚀导致显示面板100失效的风险。其中,封装层80可以为封装薄膜,也可以为封装基板。
在一些示例中,参阅图14,封装层80包括至少一层无机封装层81,无机封装层81的材料包括氧化硅、氮氧化硅和氧化铝中的至少一者。
其中,至少一层无机封装层81中最靠近衬底10的无机封装层81包括叠置的第一子封装层811和第二子封装层812,第二子封装层812设置于第一子封装层811远离衬底10的一侧,且第一子封装层811的折射率小于第二子封装层812的折射率,以起到光提取的作用,提高发光器件210的发光效率。
示例性地,参阅图14,封装层80包括依次叠置的第一无机封装层82、第一有机封装层83和第二无机封装层84,第二无机封装层84位于第一无机封装层82远离衬底10的一侧。此处,第一无机封装层82可以包括叠置的第一子封装层811和第二子封装层812。需要说明的是,第一有机封装层83的材料包括甲基丙烯酸甲酯。
第一子封装层811的折射率可以为1.4~1.5。例如,第一子封装层811的折射率为1.4、1.42、1.43、1.45、1.46、1.48和1.5中的任一者。第二子封装层812的折射率可以为1.6~1.7。如,第二子封装层812的折射率为1.6、1.62、1.63、1.65、1.66、1.68和1.7中的任一者。
第一子封装层811的材料包括氧化硅,第二子封装层812的材料包括氮氧化硅,以起到较好的水氧隔离效果。且,第一子封装层811的制备工艺可以采用利用氢气轰击靶材形成,等离子体能量较小,可以降低光取出层50上侧的透明导电层60产生裂纹或撕裂的风险。该靶材的材料可以包括硅。
经发明人研究发现,第一子封装层811和第二子封装层812的厚度的比值,对发光器件210的发光效率会产生影响。基于此,可以针对通过第一子封装层811和第二子封装层812的厚度,以提高发光器件210的发光效率。
图15为根据一些实施例的第一发光器件的发光效率,在不同的第一子封装层的厚度下,与第二子封装层的厚度的关系的测试仿真结果图;图16为根据一些实施例的第二发光器件的发光效率,在不同的第一子封装层的厚度下,与第二子封装层的厚度的关系的测试仿真结果图;图17为根据一些实施例的第三发光器件的发光效率,在不同的第一子封装层的厚度下,与第二子封装层的厚度的关系的测试仿真结果图。
由图15、图16和图17可知,第一子封装层811的厚度为40nm~80nm,第二子封装层812的厚度为800nm~1000nm,发光器件210的发光效率较高。
此外,发光颜色不同的发光器件210的发光效率较高时,第一子封装层811和第二子封装层812的厚度的比值并不相同。此时,可以针对发光颜色不同的发光器件210,设计第一子封装层811和第二子封装层812的厚度不同,以提高各个发光颜色的发光器件210的发光效率。
示例性地,如图18所示,第一子封装层811包括第一子部801、第二子部802和第三子部803,第二子封装层812包括第四子部804、第五子部805和第六子部806。

在此基础上,第一子部801的厚度为40nm~80nm,第四子部804的厚度为840nm~960nm,第一发光器件211的发光效率高。第二子部802的厚度为40nm~80nm,第五子部805的厚度为800nm~1000nm,第二发光器件212的发光效率高。第三子部803的厚度为40nm~80nm,第六子部806的厚度为800nm~1000nm,第三发光器件213的发光效率高。
例如,第一子部801的厚度为40nm,第四子部804的厚度为880nm~960nm。例如,第一子部801的厚度为60nm,第四子部804的厚度为860nm~950nm。又例如,第一子部801的厚度为80nm,第四子部804的厚度为840nm~950nm。
例如,第二子部802的厚度为40nm、60nm或80nm中的任一者时,第五子部805的厚度为800nm~1000nm。
例如,第三子部803的厚度为40nm、60nm或80nm中的任一者时,第六子部806的厚度为800nm~1000nm。
应理解,第一子部801、第二子部802和第三子部803中,至少两者的厚度可以相等,和/或,第四子部804、第五子部805和第六子部806中,至少两者的厚度可以相等,以在发光效率较高的情况下,减少光刻工艺,简化工艺流程,降低制备成本,提高生产效率。
示例性地,第一子部801、第二子部802和第三子部803的厚度相等,例如,第一子部801、第二子部802和第三子部803的厚度均为80nm。此时,第四子部804、第五子部805和第六子部806可以分别为860nm~910nm、820nm~860nm、800nm~840nm。这里,第五子部805还可以与第四子部804或第六子部806的厚度相等,当然也可以不相等,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
示例性地,第四子部804、第五子部805和第六子部806的厚度相等,例如,第四子部804、第五子部805和第六子部806的厚度均为880nm。此时,第一子部801、第二子部802和第三子部803可以分别为60nm~80nm、40nm~80nm、40nm~60nm。这里,第一子部801、第二子部802和第三子部803中的至少两者的厚度还可以相等,当然第一子部801、第二子部802和第三子部803三者的厚度也可以均不相等,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。

此外,第一无机封装层82的厚度与光取出部51的厚度的比值会对发光器件210的发光效率、视角的亮度衰减以及色偏均存在影响。
基于此,第一无机封装层82的厚度与第一光取出部511的厚度比值为2~2.4,第一无机封装层82的厚度与第二光取出部512的厚度比值为1~2.4。此外,在发光器件210包括

其中,参阅图14,光阻隔结构92设置于像素界定层91和封装层80之间。且,光阻隔结构92可以与像素界定层91远离衬底10的表面接触。即,光阻隔结构92可以贯穿透明导电层60、光取出层50和第二电极层40。或,光阻隔结构92与第二电极层40远离衬底10的表面接触,即,光阻隔结构92可以贯穿透明导电层60和光取出层50,并停止于第二电极层40,与第二电极层40远离衬底10的表面接触。
此外,参阅图14,光阻隔结构92可以包括第一阻隔层921和第二阻隔层922,第二阻隔层922设置于第一阻隔层921远离衬底10的一侧,且第一阻隔层921在衬底10上的正投影位于第二阻隔层922在衬底10上的正投影的范围内。以这种方式设置,第一阻隔层921可以与像素界定层91或第二电极层40远离衬底10的表面接触,第一阻隔层921在衬底10上的正投影的面积可设置的较小,便于第一阻隔层921的工艺制备;且,第二阻隔层922在衬底10上的正投影的面积可设置的较大,这样可以在有效的避免相邻的发光器件210串色的情况下,缩减光阻隔结构92的高度,利于减小显示面板100的厚度。

此处,在第二子封装层812包括第四子部804、第五子部805和第六子部806,且第四子部804、第五子部805和第六子部806中至少存在两者的厚度不相等时,第四子部804、第五子部805和第六子部806的制备方法可以参考第二电极层40的制备工艺流程,本公开实施例在此不做具体限定。也就是说,第二子封装层812也可以采用光刻工艺制备,这样无需引入蒸镀工艺所需的高精度掩膜版,工艺不受高精度掩膜版的原材料以及高精度掩膜版的制备工艺的限制,制备成本低,且能够使得显示面板100达到更高的像素密度。
在一些实施例中,如图35所示,在S400和S500之间,上述制备方法还包括S700。
S700:形成光阻隔结构92。
上述步骤中,参阅图14,光阻隔结构92环绕发光器件210的周侧设置,以隔开相邻的两个发光器件210,降低相邻的发光器件210串色而导致色偏的风险。
其中,显示面板100还包括像素界定层91,像素界定层91设置于第一电极层20远离衬底10的一侧,像素界定层91设有多个开口,一个发光器件210位于一个开口内。在此基础上,光阻隔结构92设置于像素界定层91远离衬底10的一侧,可以与像素界定层91远离衬底10的表面接触。即,光阻隔结构92可以贯穿透明导电层60、光取出层50和第二电极层40。或,光阻隔结构92与第二电极层40远离衬底10的表面接触,即,光阻隔结构92可以贯穿透明导电层60和光取出层50,并停止于第二电极层40,与第二电极层40远离衬底10的表面接触。
在一些示例中,参阅图14,光阻隔结构92可以包括第一阻隔层921和第二阻隔层922,第二阻隔层922设置于第一阻隔层921远离衬底10的一侧,且第一阻隔层921在衬底10上的正投影位于第二阻隔层922在衬底10上的正投影的范围内。
以这种方式设置,第一阻隔层921可以与像素界定层91或第二电极层40远离衬底10的表面接触,第一阻隔层921在衬底10上的正投影的面积可设置的较小,便于第一阻隔
层921的工艺制备;且,第二阻隔层922在衬底10上的正投影的面积可设置的较大,这样可以在有效的避免相邻的发光器件210串色的情况下,缩减光阻隔结构92的高度,利于减小显示面板100的厚度。
需要说明的是,第一阻隔层921和第二阻隔层922的材料可以参考上文,本公开实施例在此不做赘述。
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。
