Description
(1)上記第1のフレキシブル基材、又は、仮の支持基板の主面上の表示領域に配線を形成するとともに、上記主面上の端部領域に上記配線から導出された複数の端子を形成する工程
(2)上記複数の端子を直に覆う剥離層を形成する工程
(3)上記剥離層と上記第2のフレキシブル基材との間にある界面で、上記剥離層と上記複数の端子との界面における密着力よりも強い密着力が得られるように、上記第1の接着層、及び、上記第2のフレキシブル基材を含む複数層を上記表示領域及び上記端部領域に順次配置する工程
(4)上記端部領域の上記表示領域側で、上記複数層を分断、及び上記複数の端子との界面に到達しない深さまで上記剥離層に切り込みを入れ、更に、分断された上記剥離層の上記表示領域側とは反対側の部分を剥離し、分断された上記複数層及び上記剥離層の上記表示領域側とは反対側の部分を除去することにより、上記複数の端子の少なくとも一部を露出させる工程
実施形態1では、有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子上に形成される封止膜を、端子上にも形成し、剥離層として利用する。また、ガラス基板の主面上に有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子等を形成し、その後に、ガラス基板を剥離してフレキシブル基材に貼り変えるプロセスによって、フレキシブル表示装置を製造する。
図4-1の(A)に示すように、最初に、仮の支持基板であるガラス基板16の主面上の表示領域AR1及び端部領域AR2に熱吸収層17を形成する。熱吸収層17としては、例えば、スパッタ方式によって、厚さが10nm~50nmのモリブデン(Mo)膜を形成する。次に、熱吸収層17を覆うように、例えば、スピンコート法、スリットコーター法又はスクリーン印刷法によって、ポリイミドの前駆体からなる膜を形成する。
図4-1の(B)に示すように、ポリイミド層7を覆うように保護膜8を形成する。これは、後の工程で形成される有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6が水分や酸素に弱い性質を有しており、ガラス基板16側からの水分等の侵入を防止するためである。
図4-1の(C)に示すように、保護膜8上の表示領域AR1に配線5を形成し、保護膜8上の端部領域AR2に、配線5から導出された端子3を形成する。ここで、配線5及び端子3は、薄膜トランジスタ素子を構成する要素と同時に形成されてもよい。
図4-1の(D)に示すように、配線5上に有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6を形成する。有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6は、図3に示すように、電極13a、有機エレクトロルミネセンス層14、及び、電極13b等を順に形成することで得られる。
図4-2の(E)に示すように、表示領域AR1において、有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6を覆うように封止膜9aを形成する。次に、表示領域AR1において、封止膜9a上に封止膜9bを形成し、端部領域AR2において、端子3及び保護膜8の一部を覆うように、剥離層としての封止膜9b’を形成する。その後、表示領域AR1において、封止膜9b及び配線5の一部を覆うように、端部領域AR2において、封止膜9b’を覆うように、封止膜9cを形成する。なお、封止膜とは、有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子を覆うように形成される膜であり、水分等から有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子を保護する目的で形成されるものである。
図4-2の(F)に示すように、接着層4bを介してフレキシブル基材2bをガラス基板16に対向するように貼り合わせる。貼り合わせの際には、気泡の発生を防止するため、真空中で貼り合わせることが好ましい。フレキシブル基材2bとしては、アラミド、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリエチレンナフタレート、ポリカーボネート、ポリエーテルイミド、ポリアリレート、又は、ポリイミド等を材質とするフィルムを用いることが好ましい。接着層4bとしては、例えば、反応硬化型接着剤、熱硬化型接着剤、紫外線硬化型接着剤を用いることができる。
図4-3の(G)に示す線分a-a’に沿ってフレキシブル基材2b側から、フレキシブル基材2b及び接着層4bを分断し、続いてガラス基板16側から、残りの層及びガラス基板16を分断する。ここで、線分a-a’で示した分断位置は、熱吸収層17を横断し、配線5及び端子3を横断しない位置であればよく、これは、後の工程でガラス基板16を剥離する方法として、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から剥離する方法を採用するためである。フレキシブル基材2b側からの分断方法としては、特に限定されず、レーザーを用いる方法等が挙げられる。また、ガラス基板16側からの分断方法としては、ガラス基板を分断する通常の方法を用いることができ、例えば、ダイヤモンドホイール等で切りかけを入れ、外力を加えることで切りかけ部から分断する方法が挙げられる。
図4-3の(H)中の矢印のように、分断されたガラス基板16側からレーザーを照射する。これにより、熱吸収層17が熱を吸収するため、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との間の密着性が低下し、後の工程で、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から、ガラス基板16及び熱吸収層17をともに剥離することができる。ここで、レーザーとしては、例えば、紫外線を用いてもよく、エキシマレーザー光(例えば、波長308nm)を用いることが好ましい。なお、レーザー照射前後での薄膜トランジスタ素子の特性に変化はない。
図4-4の(I)に示すように、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から、ガラス基板16及び熱吸収層17をともに剥離する。ここで、剥離方法としては、例えば、人が引き剥がしてもよいし、駆動ロール又はロボット等の装置により引き剥がしてもよい。
図4-4の(J)に示すように、接着層4aを介してフレキシブル基材2aをフレキシブル基材2bに対向するように貼り合わせる。貼り合わせの際には、気泡の発生を防止するため、真空中で貼り合わせることが好ましい。フレキシブル基材2aとしては、アラミド、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリエチレンナフタレート、ポリカーボネート、ポリエーテルイミド、ポリアリレート、又は、ポリイミド等を材質とするフィルムを用いることが好ましい。また、透明プラスチック基板等の透明なフレキシブル基材を用いてもよい。また、接着層4aとしては、反応硬化型接着剤、熱硬化型接着剤、紫外線硬化型接着剤等を用いることができる。また、フレキシブル基材2a及び接着層4aとしては、各々、フレキシブル基材2b及び接着層4bと同じ材質のものを用いることが好ましい。これは、フレキシブル表示装置として完成した状態で、応力等で湾曲しないためである。
図4-5の(K)に示す線分b-b’に沿ってフレキシブル基材2b側から、フレキシブル基材2b、接着層4b、及び封止膜9cを分断し、更に封止膜9b’に切り込みを入れる。分断方法としては、レーザー照射が好適である。ここで、レーザーは、上述した貼り合わせ後の基板分断の際に用いたレーザーと同じものを用いることができる。
実施形態2では、有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子上に形成される封止膜を、端子上にも形成し、剥離層として利用する。また、ガラス基板の主面上にフレキシブル基材を貼り合わせ、更に有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子等を形成し、その後に、ガラス基板を剥離するプロセスによって、フレキシブル表示装置を製造する。
図6-1の(A)に示すように、仮の支持基板であるガラス基板16の主面上に、後工程で剥離可能な樹脂剥離層等を用いて、フレキシブル基材2aを貼り合わせる。樹脂剥離層としては、UV硬化型や熱硬化型のものが知られている。樹脂剥離層の材質としては、アクリル樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、ポリイミド等が挙げられる。また、樹脂の耐熱性(400℃程度)のため、薄膜トランジスタ素子作製時の温度も合わせて低くする必要がある。次に、フレキシブル基材2aの主面上の表示領域AR1及び端部領域AR2に保護膜8を形成する。
図6-1の(B)に示すように、保護膜8上の表示領域AR1に配線5を形成し、保護膜8上の端部領域AR2に、配線5から導出された端子3を形成する。
図6-1の(C)に示すように、配線5上に有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6を形成する。
図6-1の(D)に示すように、表示領域AR1には、有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6を覆うように封止膜9aを形成する。次に、表示領域AR1において、封止膜9a上に封止膜9bを形成し、端部領域AR2において、端子3及び保護膜8の一部を覆うように、剥離層としての封止膜9b’を形成する。その後、表示領域AR1では、封止膜9b及び配線5の一部を覆い、端部領域AR2では、封止膜9b’を覆うように、封止膜9cを形成する。
図6-2の(E)に示すように、接着層4bを介してフレキシブル基材2bをガラス基板16に対向するように貼り合わせる。
図6-2の(F)に示すように、フレキシブル基材2aと樹脂剥離層との界面から、ガラス基板16を物理的に剥離する。このため、樹脂剥離層はガラス基板16側に残り、フレキシブル基材2a側にはない。実施形態2においては、樹脂剥離層が用いられているため、実施形態1とは異なり、ガラス基板16を剥離するためのレーザー照射(熱吸収層へのレーザー照射)等を行わなくてもよい。
図6-3の(G)に示すように、レーザー等を用いて、線分b-b’に沿ってフレキシブル基材2b側からフレキシブル基材2b、接着層4b、及び封止膜9cを分断し、更に封止膜9b’に切り込みを入れる。
実施形態3に係るフレキシブル表示装置の製造方法は、ガラス基板、熱吸収層及びポリイミド層を一体化したものを、フレキシブル基材に置換したこと以外は、実施形態1に係るフレキシブル表示装置の製造方法と同様であるため、重複する点については適宜説明を省略する。
図7の(A)に示すように、フレキシブル基材2aの主面上の表示領域AR1及び端部領域AR2に、保護膜8を形成する。
図7の(B)に示すように、保護膜8上の表示領域AR1に配線5を形成し、保護膜8上の端部領域AR2に、配線5から導出された端子3を形成する。
図7の(C)に示すように、配線5上に有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6を形成する。
図7の(D)に示すように、表示領域AR1には、有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6を覆うように封止膜9aを形成する。次に、表示領域AR1において、封止膜9a上に封止膜9bを形成し、端部領域AR2において、端子3及び保護膜8の一部を覆うように、剥離層としての封止膜9b’を形成する。その後、表示領域AR1では、封止膜9b及び配線5の一部を覆い、端部領域AR2では、封止膜9b’を覆うように、封止膜9cを形成する。
図7の(E)に示すように、接着層4bを介してフレキシブル基材2bをフレキシブル基材2aに対向するように貼り合わせる。
本実施形態において、端子の取り出しは、実施形態2と同様にして行うことができる。以上より、端子3に損傷を与えることなく端子3の取り出しを行うことができる。また、乾式の方法により端子3の取り出しを行うため、有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6の特性の劣化を充分に防止することができる。
実施形態4では、有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子の有機エレクトロルミネセンス層を、端子上にも形成し、剥離層として利用する。また、ガラス基板の主面上に有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子等を形成し、その後に、ガラス基板を剥離してフレキシブル基材に貼り変えるプロセスによって、フレキシブル表示装置を製造する。
図9-1の(A)に示すように、表示領域AR1には、配線5上に有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6を形成し、端部領域AR2には、端子3及び保護膜8の一部を覆うように、剥離層としての有機エレクトロルミネセンス層14’を形成する。

図9-1の(B)に示すように、表示領域AR1には、有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6を覆うように封止膜9aを形成する。次に、表示領域AR1において、封止膜9a上に封止膜9bを形成する。その後、封止膜9b及び配線5の一部を覆うように封止膜9cを形成する。ここで、封止膜9a、9cは無機膜であり、封止膜9bは有機膜である。
図9-1の(C)に示すように、接着層4bを介してフレキシブル基材2bをガラス基板16に対向するように貼り合わせる。
図9-2の(D)に示すように、線分a-a’に沿って、フレキシブル基材2b及び接着層4bを、フレキシブル基材2b側からレーザー等を用いて分断し、続いてガラス基板16側から、残りの層及びガラス基板16を分断する。ここで、線分a-a’で示した分断位置は、熱吸収層17を横断し、配線5及び端子3を横断しない位置であればよく、これは、後の工程でガラス基板16を剥離する方法として、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から剥離する方法を採用するためである。
図9-2の(E)中の矢印のように、分断されたガラス基板16側からレーザーを照射する。これにより、熱吸収層17が熱を吸収するため、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との間の密着性が低下し、後の工程で、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から、ガラス基板16及び熱吸収層17をともに剥離することができる。
図9-3の(F)に示すように、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から、ガラス基板16及び熱吸収層17をともに剥離する。
図9-3の(G)に示すように、接着層4aを介してフレキシブル基材2aをフレキシブル基材2bに対向するように貼り合わせる。
図9-4の(H)に示す線分b-b’に沿ってフレキシブル基材2b側から、フレキシブル基材2b及び接着層4bを分断し、更に有機エレクトロルミネセンス層14’に切り込みを入れる。分断方法としては、レーザー照射が好適である。ここで、レーザーは、上述した貼り合わせ後の基板分断で用いたレーザーと同じものを用いることができる。
実施形態5では、剥離層として自己吸着層を有するフィルムを利用する。また、ガラス基板の主面上に有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子等を形成し、その後に、ガラス基板を剥離してフレキシブル基材に貼り変えるプロセスによって、フレキシブル表示装置を製造する。
図11-1の(A)に示すように、表示領域AR1には、有機エレクトロルミネセンス素子6を覆うように封止膜9aを形成する。次に、表示領域AR1には、封止膜9a上に封止膜9bを形成し、封止膜9b及び配線5の一部を覆うように封止膜9cを形成する。ここで、封止膜9a、9cは無機膜であり、封止膜9bは有機膜である。
図11-1の(B)に示すように、端部領域AR2には、端子3及び保護膜8の一部を覆うように、剥離層としての自己吸着層19を有するフィルム18を貼り合わせる。ここで、フィルム18を接着剤等を用いて貼り合わせてもよいが、自己吸着層19を有するフィルム18を用いると、後の工程でフィルム18及び自己吸着層19をともに剥離する際、端子3に接着剤等が付着しないため、端子の取り出しを好適に行うことができる。フィルム18の材質としては、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)が挙げられる。また、自己吸着層19としては、例えば、フィルム18に表面加工が施されて形成された層、オレフィン系の粘着層、UV照射によって密着力が下がる樹脂の層が挙げられる。
図11-1の(C)に示すように、接着層4bを介してフレキシブル基材2bをガラス基板16に対向するように貼り合わせる。
図11-2の(D)に示す線分a-a’に沿ってフレキシブル基材2b側から、フレキシブル基材2b、接着層4b、フィルム18及び自己吸着層19を、レーザー等を用いて分断し、続いてガラス基板16側から、残りの層及びガラス基板16を分断する。ここで、線分a-a’で示した分断位置は、熱吸収層17を横断し、配線5及び端子3を横断しない位置であればよく、これは、後の工程でガラス基板16を剥離する方法として、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から剥離する方法を採用するためである。
図11-2の(E)中の矢印のように、分断されたガラス基板16側からレーザーを照射する。これにより、熱吸収層17が熱を吸収するため、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との間の密着性が低下し、後の工程で、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から、ガラス基板16及び熱吸収層17をともに剥離することができる。
図11-3の(F)に示すように、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から、ガラス基板16及び熱吸収層17をともに剥離する。
図11-3の(G)に示すように、接着層4aを介してフレキシブル基材2aをフレキシブル基材2bに対向するように貼り合わせる。
図11-4の(H)に示す線分b-b’に沿ってフレキシブル基材2b側から、フレキシブル基材2b、接着層4b、及びフィルム18を分断し、更に自己吸着層19に切り込みを入れる。分断方法としては、レーザー照射が好適である。ここで、レーザーは、上述した貼り合わせ後の基板分断で用いたレーザーと同じものを用いることができる。
実施形態6は、液晶層を備えるフレキシブル表示装置に関するものであり、剥離層として層間膜を利用する。また、ガラス基板の主面上に液晶層等を配置し、その後に、ガラス基板を剥離してフレキシブル基材に貼り変えるプロセスによって、フレキシブル表示装置を製造する。
図13-1の(A)に示すように、表示領域AR1には、配線5上に、開口が設けられた層間膜12bを形成し、端部領域AR2には、端子3及び保護膜8の一部を覆うように、剥離層としての層間膜12b’を形成する。ここで、層間膜12b、12b’は同じ組成である。また、層間膜12b’は、後の工程で好適に端子の取り出しを行うために形成されたものである。層間膜12b、12b’の材質としては、例えば、アクリル系の樹脂が挙げられる。
図13-1の(B)に示すように、表示領域AR1には、層間膜12bの開口を通じて配線5と電気的に接続されるように、層間膜12b上、及び、上記開口内の配線5上に、画素電極20を形成する。
図13-1の(C)に示すように、カラーフィルタ層21が主面上に形成されたフレキシブル基材2b(以下、カラーフィルタ基板とも言う。)を、シール材22を介してガラス基板16と対向するように貼り合わせる。ここで、カラーフィルタ層21が画素電極20と対向するように貼り合わせる。なお、液晶層23を形成する液晶材料は、ガラス基板16の主面上に上述した複数の層が形成された基板、又は、カラーフィルタ基板上のどちらかに、予め滴下しておいてもよいし、各々の基板を貼り合わせた後に封入してもよい。また、カラーフィルタ基板の製造方法としては、例えば、フレキシブル基材2bの主面上にカラーフィルタ層21を直接形成する方法であってもよいし、ガラス基板上に剥離用の透明膜を設け、その透明膜上にカラーフィルタ層21を形成し、ガラス基板を剥離した後に接着剤等を用いてフレキシブル基材2bを貼り合わせる方法であってもよい。
図13-2の(D)に示す線分a-a’に沿ってフレキシブル基材2b側から、フレキシブル基材2bを、レーザー等を用いて分断し、続いてガラス基板16側から、ガラス基板16、及び、端部領域AR2の端子3以外の層を分断する。ここで、線分a-a’で示した分断位置は、熱吸収層17を横断し、配線5及び端子3を横断しない位置であればよく、これは、後の工程でガラス基板16を剥離する方法として、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から剥離する方法を採用するためである。
図13-2の(E)中の矢印のように、分断されたガラス基板16側からレーザーを照射する。これにより、熱吸収層17が熱を吸収するため、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との間の密着性が低下し、後の工程で、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から、ガラス基板16、及び、熱吸収層17をともに剥離することができる。
図13-3の(F)に示すように、熱吸収層17とポリイミド層7との界面から、ガラス基板16及び熱吸収層17をともに剥離する。
図13-3の(G)に示すように、接着層4aを介してフレキシブル基材2aをフレキシブル基材2bに対向するように貼り合わせる。
図13-4の(H)に示す線分b-b’に沿ってフレキシブル基材2b側から、フレキシブル基材2bを分断し、更に層間膜12b’に切り込みを入れる。分断方法としては、レーザー照射が好適である。ここで、レーザーは、上述した貼り合わせ後の基板分断で用いたレーザーと同じものを用いることができる。
