具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本公开实施例的附图,对本公开实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例是本公开的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本公开的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非另外定义,本公开使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本公开所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性,而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指出现该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同,而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接,而是可以包括电性的连接,不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系,当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后,则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
通常来说,在显示面板的一种结构中,对置基板和阵列基板通过封框胶彼此结合,从而对置基板以及封框胶将阵列基板的显示区中的像素单元以及驱动电路等功能结构与外界环境完全隔离,以避免水、氧等杂质进入显示区,由此延长显示面板的工作寿命。例如,图1A和图1B示出了一种理想的显示面板结构。
如图1A和图1B所示,显示面板1具有显示区1A和用于将显示区1A密封的周边区1B,该显示面板1包括阵列基板17和对置基板15,该阵列基板17包括衬底基板11以及在衬底基板11上的驱动电路12、绝缘层13、发光元件层14,对置基板15通过封框胶16结合在绝缘层13上,从而结合到阵列基板上,并对显示区1A进行密封。如图1A和图1B所示,封框胶16完全围绕发光元件层14,因此对置基板15和封框胶16将发光元件层14与外界环境完全隔离。
在上述结构下,如图2所示,显示面板1中仅在封框胶16的上下两侧存在水、氧等杂质进入显示区1A的路线(如封框胶16上下两侧的箭头所示),因此该显示面板1具有较好的封装效果。
但是在实际制备工艺中,如图3A和图3B所示,发光元件层14的部分功能层(例如发光层、公共电极等)往往采用整面形成的方式,因此既会覆盖显示区也可能覆盖至周边区。此时,在一些示例中,如图3B所示,可以在一次制备工艺中形成多个显示面板。例如,发光元件层14包括第一电极141、具有多个像素开口的像素界定层142、至少形成在多个像素开口中的发光层143、第二电极144以及钝化层145等结构。例如,发光元件层14中的发光层143等结构采用整面形成的方式,如图3A所示,使得用于密封的周边区2中也形成有发光层143,导致后期采用封框胶16形成对置基板15时,封框胶16形成(例如涂敷)在发光层143上,而不会与绝缘层103直接接触。
如图4所示,在上述情况下,显示面板中在位于周边区1B的发光层143以及发光层143的上下两侧也形成了水、氧等杂质进入显示区1A的路线,从而降低了显示面板的封装效果。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种基板,包括显示区和位于所述显示区周边的用于密封的周边区,所述基板包括:衬底基板;绝缘层,设置在所述衬底基板的一侧,且位于所述显示区和用于密封的周边区;多个像素单元,位于所述显示区对应的所述绝缘层上,其中在所述周边区中,所述绝缘层在背离所述衬底基板的一侧设置有至少一个凹槽,所述凹槽远离所述衬底基板的一侧是开口的,所述凹槽的深度方向垂直于所述衬底基板。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种基板的制备方法,所述基板包括显示区和位于所述显示区周边的用于密封的周边区,所述制备方法包括:提供衬底基板在所述显示区和所述周边区中且在所述衬底基板的一侧形成绝缘层,在所述周边区中且在所述绝缘层在背离所述衬底基板的一侧形成至少一个凹槽,所述凹槽远离所述衬底基板的一侧是开口的,所述凹槽的深度方向垂直于所述衬底基板,其中所述基板包括多个像素单元,所述多个像素单元位于所述显示区对应的所述绝缘层上。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种显示面板,该显示面板包括上述基板。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种显示装置,该显示装置包括上述显示面板。
下面通过几个具体的实施例对本公开的基板及其制备方法、显示面板及其制备方法、显示装置进行说明。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种显示面板,图5A为该基板1000的截面示意图,图5C为该显示面板的平面示意图,其中图5B是图5C的显示面板的 沿A-A线的截面示意图。
该显示面板包括阵列基板和对置基板,该阵列基板包括衬底基板、形成在衬底基板上的驱动电路、覆盖驱动电路的绝缘层、在绝缘层上的发光元件层,并且对置基板通过封框胶在周边区结合在阵列基板的绝缘层上,对显示区进行密封。显示区包括多个像素单元,在每个像素单元中,驱动电路包括像素驱动电路,发光元件层包括发光元件,像素驱动电路驱动与之电连接的发光元件发光。
如图5B和5C所示,基板1000包括显示区10和位于所述显示区周边的用于密封的周边区11,所述基板1000包括:衬底基板101;绝缘层103,设置在所述衬底基板101的一侧,且位于所述显示区和用于密封的周边区;多个像素单元,位于所述显示区对应的所述绝缘层103上,其中在所述周边区中,所述绝缘层在背离所述衬底基板的一侧设置有至少一个凹槽103A,所述凹槽103A远离所述衬底基板101的一侧是开口的,所述凹槽103A的深度方向垂直于所述衬底基板。
例如,本实施例中,所述用于密封的周边区是封框胶设置区域,所述多个像素单元(R/G/B)的每个包括:发光元件层104,设置在所述绝缘层103的背离基底的一侧,且包括发光层1043。
例如,本实施例中,基板1000还包括像素界定层1042,像素界定层1042包括分别用于多个像素单元的多个像素开口1042A,发光层1043至少覆盖多个像素开口1042A,也即多个像素单元共用该发光层1043,或者多个像素单元单独设置有各自的发光层,本公开的实施例不对此进行限制。例如,对应于每个像素单元发光元件层104还包括用于驱动发光层1043发光的第一电极1041以及第二电极1044,也即第一电极1041以及第二电极1044与夹置在它们之间的发光层1043构成发光元件,该发光层可以为有机发光层或量子点发光层,由此所得到的发光元件可以为有机发光二极管(OLED)或量子点发光二极管(QLED)。并且,发光元件层104还可以包括覆盖在发光层1043上的钝化层1045以形成封装与保护。
例如,本实施例中,所述凹槽的延伸方向平行于所述基底所在的平面,在垂直于所述基底的平面上,所述凹槽的纵截面呈正梯形或者倒梯形。
例如,凹槽103A的纵截面可以呈上窄下宽的正梯形(底边比顶边长的梯形),从而凹槽103A可以具有较大的容量。另外,如图5A所示,凹槽103A 的纵截面也可以为上宽下窄的倒梯形(底边比顶边短的梯形),从而有利于液体流入。在一些实施例中,凹槽103A也可以为上下宽度一致的矩形等,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。
例如,本公开的一些实施例提供的显示面板在制备的过程中,发光层1043采用整面形成的方式,例如采用喷墨打印、旋涂、喷涂等印刷的方式形成,因此,发光层1043的材料会流淌到用于密封的周边区11,此时,绝缘层103中的凹槽103A可收集流淌到周边区11的发光层1043的材料,使得位于周边区11的绝缘层103上残留的发光层1043的材料减少,不会残留发光层1043的材料,或发光层1043的材料的残留部分彼此间隔开,因此使得水、氧等杂质进入显示区10的路线被断开,以下不会残留发光层的材料为例进行说明。此时,在一些实施例中,发光层1043至少部分延伸至凹槽103A中。
例如,本实施例中,绝缘层103的位于周边区11的表面具有疏液性质。例如,绝缘层103采用具有疏液性质的材料形成,或者绝缘层103的位于周边区11的表面通过表面处理从而具有疏水性质。此时,绝缘层103的具有疏液性质的表面会促进发光层1043的材料流入凹槽103A,使得流淌到周边区11的发光层1043的材料充分流入凹槽103A,容纳于凹槽103A之中,以保证位于周边区11的绝缘层103上不会残留发光层1043的材料。
例如,在一些实施例中,如图5B所示,凹槽103A与像素开口1042A的平面形状和尺寸相同,这里的平面形状是指凹槽和像素开口最上部的形状,也就是,所述凹槽的远离所述基底的一端以及所述多个像素开口的远离所述基底的一端,即,二者的上端的平面形状及尺寸。或者如图6所示,所述凹槽的远离所述基底的一端的形状与所述多个像素开口的远离所述基底的一端的形状相同,凹槽103A的平面尺寸大于像素开口1042A的平面尺寸,例如凹槽103A的长度和/或宽度大于像素开口1042A的长度和/或宽度。本公开的实施例中,凹槽103A与像素开口1042A的平面形状指的是凹槽103A和像素开口1042A在其平面图中所示出的形状,即,二者最上部的形状,例如图5C和图6示出的为长方形,在其他实施例中,凹槽103A与像素开口1042A的平面形状也可以为圆形、椭圆形或者不规则形状等,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。凹槽103A与像素开口1042A的平面尺寸指的是凹槽103A和像素开口1042A在其平面图中所示出的形状,即,二者最上部的形状在相同维度上的尺寸(例如长度、宽度等),例如图5C和图6示出的长方形的长和宽 的尺寸或者长方形的面积。本实施例中,凹槽103A与像素开口1042A的平面形状和平面尺寸可以根据实际需求进行选择,例如在一些实施例中,凹槽103A的平面尺寸也可以小于像素开口1042A的平面尺寸,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。
例如,在一些实施例中,绝缘层103在周边区11中包括多个凹槽103A,多个凹槽103A围绕显示区10排布。所述多个凹槽的延伸方向相同,所述多个凹槽在所述显示区的周边排布成多行和多列,所述凹槽的行方向与所述多个像素开口的行方向相同,所述凹槽的列方向与所述像素开口的列方向相同,所述多个凹槽的远离所述基底的一端的形状相同且与所述多个像素开口的远离所述基底的一端的形状相同,所述多个凹槽的远离所述基底的一端的尺寸均等于所述多个像素开口的远离所述基底的一端的尺寸或者所述多个凹槽中至少一部分的远离所述基底的一端的尺寸大于所述多个像素开口的远离所述基底的一端的尺寸,例如,一部分的尺寸等于像素开口,另一部分的尺寸大于或小于像素开口;或者凹槽的全部尺寸均大于或均小于像素开口;一部分的尺寸等于像素开口,一部分小于像素开口,其余部分大于像素开口。
例如,如图5B所示,多个凹槽的远离所述基底的一端的尺寸等于所述多个像素开口的远离所述基底的一端的尺寸,即,多个凹槽的上部的长度和宽度与像素开口的上部的长度和宽度相等,所述多个凹槽的形状和大小相同,所述凹槽的行方向的节距10501与所述像素开口的行方向的节距10500相同和/或所述凹槽的列方向的节距与所述像素开口的列方向的节距相同,对于位于像素单元左右两侧边缘的凹槽的节距,此处凹槽的节距可以认为是凹槽与像素开口之间的节距,也就是,如图5C所示,多个像素开口1042A呈第一阵列排布,多个凹槽103A呈第二阵列排布,第一阵列和第二阵列具有相同排布方向以及在排布方向上具有相同的节距,即多个像素开口1042A和多个凹槽103A采用基本相同的排布方式。例如,凹槽103A与像素开口1042A的平面形状为长方形时,长方形的长和宽的延伸方向相同,并且相邻的凹槽103A的间距与相邻的像素开口1042A的间距基本相同,这里间距是相邻凹槽边缘在行方向或列方向之间的距离,节距是相邻凹槽的中心到中心的在行方向或列方向上的距离。从平面图上看,凹槽和像素开口共同构成阵列,凹槽和像素开口共同构成阵列的单元,单元之间的节距相同。从平面图 上看,凹槽的节距和像素开口的节距相同,从而,不需要改造发光层等其他发光功能层的设备以及工艺参数,例如,步进节距、喷嘴节距等,使得在封框胶设置区域中的发光层能够全部落入凹槽中,实现良好的密封效果。
备选地,可以是部分凹槽的节距、形状、尺寸与像素开口的节距、形状、尺寸相同,从而能够使得封框胶设置区域中的部分发光层能够全部落入凹槽中,也能够改善密封效果,本公开的实施例并不对此进行限制。
备选地,可以是凹槽的任意处的尺寸和形状等于所述多个像素开口的对应位置处的尺寸和形状,例如,凹槽中间深度处的尺寸和形状等于像素开口的中间深度处的尺寸和形状,本领域的技术人员可根据需要而设定。
又例如,如图6所示,多个凹槽103A的第二阵列与多个像素开口1042A的第一阵列不同,不但凹槽103A的平面尺寸不同于像素开口1042A的平面尺寸,而且阵列的节距也可以不同。所述多个凹槽按照长度分成两组,所述多个凹槽的宽度等于所述像素开口的宽度,两组之一的凹槽的长度等于或者略小于所述多个像素开口的沿列方向节距之和,且沿像素开口的行方向排布在所述显示区的两侧,所述两组中另一组的凹槽的长度等于或大于所述多个像素开口的长度,所述另外一组排布在所述显示区的在列方向的两侧,所述多个凹槽沿行方向的节距与所述多个像素开口的沿行方向的节距相同,这里,对于位于像素单元左右两侧边缘的凹槽的节距,此处凹槽的节距可以认为是凹槽与像素开口之间的节距。
备选地,在包括多个凹槽103A的第二阵列中,多个凹槽103A可以以非规则行列的方式排布,例如相邻行中的凹槽103A在行方向彼此错开一半长度。
在上述设置下,当在像素开口1042A中形成发光层1043时,位于周边区11的凹槽103A可以收集形成在位于周边区11的绝缘层103上的发光层1043的材料,以避免或减少位于周边区11的绝缘层103上残留发光层1043的材料。
例如,本公开的实施例中,绝缘层103的材料包括SiOx、SiNx、Al2O3等无机材料,或者包括聚亚酰胺、聚丙烯酸酯或酚醛树脂等有机材料,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。
如图5A所示,例如,本公开的实施例提供的基板还包括衬底基板101和驱动电路102。衬底基板101用于支撑显示区10和周边区11中的结构和 器件;驱动电路102位于衬底基板102上,用于驱动多个像素单元。例如,驱动电路102包括用于像素单元的像素驱动电路,像素驱动电路包括薄膜晶体管和电容等结构,可形成为2T1C(即两个晶体管一个电容),也可以为3T1C等形式,例如在驱动发光器件层的发光器件发光的同时还可以提供补偿、复位等功能,该驱动电路102还包括栅线、数据线等信号线,本公开的实施例对此不做限定。
例如,绝缘层103覆盖驱动电路102,以对驱动电路102进行保护,且平坦化驱动电路102。
本公开的一些实施例提供的显示面板中,由于绝缘层103在周边区11中包括凹槽103A,凹槽103A可收集发光层1043的材料。例如,在一些实施例中,发光层1043上的第二电极1044和钝化层1045也会采用整面形成的方式,因此凹槽103A中也可能存在第二电极1044和钝化层1045的材料。由此,周边区11的绝缘层103上例如不会残留发光层1043的材料等不希望的材料,从而封框胶106可以直接粘结在绝缘层103和对置基板105之间,形成更好的密封和结合效果,例如相比于周边区11的绝缘层103上残留不希望的材料而形成水、氧等杂质进入显示区的路线的情形来说,可减少水、氧等的进入路径。另一方面,封框胶106也可以至少部分填充到凹槽103A中,凹槽103A的设置也将封框胶106下方的水、氧等杂质的进入路径复杂化,从而进一步增强了密封效果。
例如,在一些实施例中,为了提高凹槽的容量,绝缘层可以采用双层结构,并且在双层结构中形成凹槽。该设置可以进一步保证位于周边区的绝缘层上例如不会残留不希望的材料。另一方面,在多个凹槽的总容量一定的情况下,该设置可以减少凹槽的设置数量。
例如,如图5B所示,本公开的一些实施例提供的显示面板包括基板1000、对置基板105和封框胶106,对置基板,设置为与所述基板相对,封框胶106设置在所述基板与所述对置基板之间,例如覆盖凹槽103A,且在周边区中将对置基板105和基板1000结合以形成显示面板100且实现密封。
例如,本公开至少一实施例提供一种基板2000,图7A为该基板的截面示意图,图7B为包括该基板的显示面板的截面示意图,图7C为显示面板的平面示意图,其中图7A是图7C中的显示面板沿B-B线的截面示意图。
如图7A、图7B和图7C所示,基板2000具有显示区20和用于密封的 周边区21,且基板2000包括在显示区20和周边区21中的绝缘层203。绝缘层203在周边区21中包括凹槽203A,在显示区20中于绝缘层203上形成有用于多个像素单元(R/G/B)的发光元件层204,发光元件层204包括发光层2043。
例如,绝缘层203包括第一子绝缘层2031和层叠在第一子绝缘层2031上的第二子绝缘层2032。第一子绝缘层2031具有第一凹槽部分2031A,第二子绝缘层2032层叠在第一子绝缘层2031上,且具有与第一凹槽部分2031A连通的开口2032A,第一凹槽部分2031A和开口2032A一起构成凹槽203A。例如,第一凹槽部分2031A的纵截面呈正梯形,开口2032A的纵截面呈倒梯形或者矩形,使得凹槽203A具有较大的容量。
例如,如图7A所示,开口2032A的纵截面为上宽下窄的倒梯形,而第一凹槽部分2031A的纵截面为上窄下宽的正梯形。例如,开口2032A的下端尺寸与第一凹槽部分2031A的上端尺寸基本相同,由此所得得到的凹槽203A的截面呈沙漏形。本实施例中,凹槽203A具有更大的容量,而且使得水、氧等杂质的进入路径与例如图5A所示的情形相比更加复杂化。
在一些实施例中,例如,第一子绝缘层2031的材料包括负性光刻胶材料,从而有利于在制备过程中形成上窄下宽的具有更大容量的第一凹槽部分2031A。第二子绝缘层2032的材料包括正性光刻胶材料,或包括无机材料。例如,负性光刻胶材料包括酚醛树脂等,正性光刻胶材料包括聚亚酰胺、聚丙烯酸酯等,无机材料包括SiOx、SiNx、Al2O3等。由于光刻胶材料在曝光时位于表层的材料的曝光量更大,因此在显影后由于上下部位曝光强度的不同而形成纵截面为具有斜边的梯形形状。
例如,本公开的一些实施例中,基板还包括像素界定层2042,像素界定层2042包括分别用于限定多个像素单元的多个像素开口2042A,发光层2043至少覆盖多个像素开口2042A。例如,发光元件层204还包括用于驱动发光层2043发光的第一电极2041以及第二电极2044,并且还包括可以覆盖在发光层2043上的钝化层2045以形成封装与保护。
例如,本公开的一些实施例提供的显示面板在制备的过程中,发光层2043采用整面形成的方式,例如采用喷墨打印、旋涂或者喷涂等印刷的方式形成,因此,发光层2043的材料会流淌到用于密封的周边区21中,此时,绝缘层203中的凹槽203A可收集流淌到周边区21的发光层2043的材料,使得位于 周边区21的绝缘层203上例如不会残留发光层2043的材料。此时,在一些实施例中,发光层2043至少部分延伸至凹槽203A中。
例如,在本公开的一些实施例中,绝缘层203的位于周边区21的表面具有疏液性质。例如,绝缘层203的第一子绝缘层2031采用具有疏液性质的材料形成,或者第一子绝缘层2031的位于周边区21的表面通过表面处理从而具有疏水性质。此时,绝缘层203的具有疏液性质的表面会促进发光层2043的材料流入凹槽203A,使得流淌到周边区21的发光层2043的材料充分流入凹槽203A,以保证位于周边区21的绝缘层203上不会残留发光层2043的材料。
例如,在本公开的一些实施例中,凹槽203A与像素开口2042A的平面形状和尺寸相同,或者凹槽203A的平面尺寸大于像素开口2042A的平面尺寸。本实施例中,凹槽203A的平面形状指的是凹槽203A中位于上层的第二子绝缘层2032在其平面图中所示出的形状,也就是,第二子绝缘层2032的最上部的平面形状,像素开口2042A的平面形状指的是像素开口2042A在其平面图中所示出的形状,也就是,像素开口的最上部的形状,例如图7C示出的为长方形,在其他实施例中,凹槽203A与像素开口2042A的平面形状也可以为圆形、椭圆形或者不规则形状等,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。凹槽203A的平面尺寸指的是凹槽203A中位于上层的第二子绝缘层2032在其平面图中所示出的形状所占有的面积,像素开口2042A的平面尺寸指的是像素开口2042A在其平面图中所示出的形状在相同维度上的尺寸(例如长、宽等),例如图7B示出的长方形的长和宽的尺寸,或者长方形的面积。本公开的实施例中,凹槽203A与像素开口2042A的平面形状和平面尺寸可以根据实际需求进行选择,例如在一些实施例中,凹槽203A的平面尺寸也可以小于像素开口2042A的平面尺寸,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。
例如,在一些实施例中,绝缘层203在周边区21中包括多个凹槽203A,多个凹槽203A围绕显示区20排布。例如,多个像素开口2042A呈第一阵列排布,多个凹槽203A呈第二阵列排布,第一阵列和第二阵列具有相同排布方向以及在排布方向上具有相同的节距,即多个像素开口2042A和多个凹槽203A采用基本相同的排布方式。例如,凹槽203A与像素开口2042A的平面形状为长方形时,长方形的长和宽的延伸方向相同,并且相邻的凹槽203A的间距与相邻的像素开口2042A的间距基本相同。
在上述设置下,当在像素开口2042A中形成发光层2043时,位于周边区21的凹槽203A可以更好地收集形成在位于周边区21的绝缘层203上的发光层2043的材料,以保证位于周边区21的绝缘层203上例如不会残留发光层2043的材料。
例如,本实施例提供的基板2000还包括衬底基板201和驱动电路202。衬底基板201用于支撑显示区20和周边区21;驱动电路202位于衬底基板202上,用于驱动多个像素单元。例如,驱动电路202包括用于像素单元的像素驱动电路,该驱动电路包括薄膜晶体管和电容等结构,可形成为2T1C、3T1C等形式,本公开的实施例对此不做限定。例如,绝缘层203覆盖驱动电路202,以对驱动电路202进行保护。例如,绝缘层203的第一子绝缘层2031在驱动电路202上,且平坦化驱动电路202,第二子绝缘层2032在第一子绝缘层2031上,用于形成凹槽203A。
例如,本公开的一些实施例提供的显示面板200包括基板2000、对置基板205和封框胶206,对置基板,设置为与所述基板相对,封框胶206设置在所述基板与所述对置基板之间,例如,覆盖凹槽203A,且将基板2000和对置基板205结合在一起。
第一基板1000与第二基板2000的不同之处仅在于:绝缘层的结构,其余部件和结构均相同,因此,重复之处这里并未列出,可以参照第一基板1000中的相关描述。
本公开的一些实施例提供的基板、显示面板中,由于绝缘层203在周边区21中包括具有双层结构的凹槽203A,凹槽203A可收集发光层2043的材料。例如,在一些实施例中,发光层2043上的第二电极2044和钝化层2045也会采用整面形成的方式,因此凹槽203A中也可能存在第二电极2044和钝化层2045的材料。由此,周边区21的绝缘层203上例如不会残留发光层2043的材料等不希望的材料,从而封框胶206可以直接粘结在绝缘层203和对置基板205之间,形成更好的密封,例如相比于周边区21的绝缘层203上残留不希望的材料来说,可减少水、氧等杂质的进入路径。另一方面,凹槽203A的设置也将封框胶206下方的水、氧等杂质的进入路径复杂化,从而进一步增强了密封效果。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种显示面板的制备方法,该制备方法包括形成显示区和用于密封的周边区,该形成显示区和用于密封的周边区包括:在 显示区和周边区中形成绝缘层,在周边区中在绝缘层中形成凹槽,在显示区中在绝缘层上形成用于多个像素单元的发光元件层,发光元件层包括发光层。
本公开的实施例还提供一种基板的制备方法,所述基板包括显示区和位于所述显示区周边的用于密封的周边区,所述制备方法包括:提供衬底基板;在所述显示区和所述周边区中且在所述衬底基板的一侧形成绝缘层,在所述周边区中且在所述绝缘层在背离所述衬底基板的一侧形成至少一个凹槽,所述凹槽远离所述衬底基板的一侧是开口的,所述凹槽的深度方向垂直于所述衬底基板,其中所述基板包括多个像素单元,所述多个像素单元位于所述显示区对应的所述绝缘层上。
例如,所述绝缘层形成为至少在所述周边区的表面具有疏液性质。
例如,基板的制备方法还包括:形成像素界定层,所述像素界定层包括分别用于所述多个像素单元的多个像素开口;形成发光层,所述发光层至少覆盖所述多个像素开口;其中,采用喷墨打印、旋涂或者喷涂的方式形成所述发光层,并且所述发光层的至少一部分形成于所述凹槽中。
例如,形成所述绝缘层包括:形成第一子绝缘层,所述第一子绝缘层具有第一凹槽部分,在所述第一子绝缘层上形成第二子绝缘层,所述第二子绝缘层具有与所述第一凹槽部分连通的开口,其中,所述第一凹槽部分和所述开口构成所述凹槽。
例如,所述第二子绝缘层采用具有疏液性质的材料形成,或者对所述第二子绝缘层的位于所述周边区的表面进行表面处理,以使所述第二子绝缘层的位于所述周边区的表面具有疏液性质。
例如,采用Ar、N2、CF4或O2的等离子体进行所述表面处理。
下面,以形成图7A和图7C示出的基板为例,对本实施例提供的制备方法进行介绍。
例如,如图8A所示,首先提供衬底基板201,然后在衬底基板201的不同区域形成显示区20和周边区21。例如,衬底基板201采用玻璃基板、石英基板、塑料基板等,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。
例如,在衬底基板201上形成用于显示区20中多个像素单元的驱动电路202。例如,驱动电路202包括用于像素单元的像素驱动电路,该像素驱动电路包括薄膜晶体管、电容等结构,驱动电路还可以包括栅线、数据线等信号线,可以采用半导体制备工艺形成,本公开的实施例对此不做限定。
例如,在驱动电路202上形成第一子绝缘层2031,该步骤包括:在驱动电路202上形成一层第一子绝缘材料层,然后对第一子绝缘材料层进行构图以形成第一凹槽部分2031A。
例如,第一子绝缘层2031采用负性光刻胶材料形成,例如采用酚醛树脂等。此时,对第一子绝缘材料层进行构图包括通过掩膜版对第一子绝缘材料层进行曝光,然后进行显影,以形成第一凹槽部分2031A。第一凹槽部分2031A具有上窄下宽的结构,因此具有更大的容量。
如图8B所示,第一子绝缘层2031形成后,可以在第一子绝缘层2031上形成第二子绝缘层2032,该步骤包括:在第一子绝缘层2031上形成一层第二子绝缘材料层,然后对第二子绝缘材料层进行构图以形成与第一凹槽部分2031A连通的开口2032A。
例如,第二子绝缘层2032采用正性光刻胶材料或无机材料形成,例如采用聚亚酰胺、聚丙烯酸酯等正性光刻胶材料,或者SiOx、SiNx、Al2O3等无机材料。例如,当第二子绝缘层2032采用正性光刻胶材料形成时,对第二子绝缘材料层进行构图包括通过掩膜版对第二子绝缘材料层进行曝光与显影,以形成开口2032A。当第二子绝缘层2032采用无机材料形成时,对第二子绝缘材料层进行构图包括在第二子绝缘材料层上形成一层光刻胶,然后通过掩膜版对光刻胶进行曝光与显影形成光刻胶图案,然后通过该光刻胶图案对第二子绝缘材料层进行刻蚀以形成开口2032A,该刻蚀例如采用干刻蚀或湿刻蚀,本公开的实施例对此不做限定。第一凹槽部分2031A和开口2032A构成绝缘层203中的凹槽203A。
例如,绝缘层203形成为至少在周边区21的表面具有疏液性质。此时,绝缘层203中位于上方的第二子绝缘层2032采用具有疏液性质的材料形成(例如上面例举的材料),或者对第二子绝缘层2032的位于周边区21的表面进行表面处理,以使第二子绝缘层2032的位于周边区21的表面具有疏液性质。
例如,可以采用Ar、N 2、CF 4或O 2的等离子体对第二子绝缘层2032的位于周边区21的表面进行表面处理,以使第二子绝缘层2032的位于周边区21的表面具有疏液性质。例如,当第二子绝缘层2032采用具有疏液性质的材料形成时,由于不同的具有疏液性质的材料对形成于其上的不同液体的疏液程度不同,因此可以根据需求选择相应的材料;又或者,也可以对采用具 有疏液性质的材料形成的第二子绝缘层2032的表面进行疏液处理,以进一步提高第二子绝缘层2032表面的疏液性能。
如图8C所示,在绝缘层203的位于显示区20的部分上形成发光元件层204。例如,首先形成第一电极2041,该第一电极2041包括对应于多个像素单元的多个子电极;然后形成像素界定层2042,像素界定层2042包括分别用于多个像素单元的多个像素开口2042A,该多个像素开口2042A分别暴露第一电极2041的多个子电极,发光层2043形成为至少覆盖多个像素开口2042A,然后在发光层2043上形成第二电极2043以及钝化层2044。
例如,第一电极2041以及像素界定层2042可以采用构图工艺形成,第一电极2041的材料例如包括ITO、IZO等金属氧化物或者Ag、Al、Mo等金属或其合金,像素界定层2042的材料例如包括聚酰亚胺等有机材料或者氧化硅、氮化硅等无机材料。
例如,发光层2043可以采用喷墨打印、旋涂或者喷涂等印刷的方式形成,由于印刷的墨水的流动性,印刷的发光层2043的材料还延伸至凹槽203A中。发光层2043的材料根据要形成的发光元件的类型进行相应的选择。例如,要形成OLED时,使用有机发光材料,并且发光层可以为复合层,例如包括电子注入子层、电子传输子层、发光子层、空穴传输子层、空穴注入子层等;又例如,要形成QLED时,使用量子点发光材料。本公开的实施例对发光层的材料不作限制。例如,第二电极2044和钝化层2044可以分别采用蒸镀、溅射或者沉积等方式通过掩膜板形成。例如,第二电极2044的材料包括Mg、Ca、Li或Al等金属或其合金,或者IZO、ZTO等具有导电性的无机材料,或者PEDOT/PSS(聚3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩/聚苯乙烯磺酸盐)等具有导电性的有机材料,钝化层2045的材料包括聚酰亚胺等有机材料或者氧化硅、氮化硅等无机材料。
进一步地,本公开的实施例还提供一种显示面板的制备方法,包括:制造所述基板,所述基板由以上任意所述的制备方法制备;提供对置基板,且将所述对置基板通过封框胶结合在显示面板上,其中,所述封框胶覆盖所述凹槽。例如,参照附图对该制备方法进行描述,如图8D所示,发光元件层204形成后,该显示面板的制备方法在基板的制备方法之后还包括:提供对置基板206,且将对置基板206通过封框胶205结合在基板上,例如,封框胶206以预定图案涂敷在周边区域中,覆盖凹槽203A,从而至少部分填入到 覆盖凹槽203A;例如根据封框胶的类型,可以对封框胶进行紫外光照固化或热固化。例如,对置基板206的材料包括玻璃板、塑料板或塑料膜,例如塑料材料可以采用PET(聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)或者PI(聚酰亚胺)等透明材料,封框胶205的材料包括树脂等具有粘结性的材料。
本公开的一些实施例中,绝缘层203位于周边区21的凹槽203A可以收集在形成发光元件层204时形成于周边区21的发光层2043的材料,因此绝缘层203的位于周边区21的部分上例如不会残留不希望的材料,此时,封框胶205可以直接将对置基板206与绝缘层103结合,从而具有更好的封装效果。
例如,在一些实施例中,第二电极2044和/或钝化层2044也可以采用蒸镀、溅射或者沉积等方式形成为一整面,此时凹槽203A中还具有第二电极2044和/或钝化层2044的形成材料。
本公开的一些实施例中,由于绝缘层203的位于周边区21的部分具有凹槽203A,该凹槽203A可以收集形成在绝缘层203的位于周边区21的部分上的不希望的材料。如图9所示,该制备方法可以用于使用一个母板,通过该母板同时制备多个显示面板,这些显示面板可以具有相同的形状或者不同的形状,之后可以通过切割工艺将这些显示面板彼此分开。例如,图9中,在同一母板上制备三个显示面板,包括位于上侧的椭圆形的显示面板和位于下侧的两个矩形显示面板。在各个显示面板中,封框胶206围绕显示区20,覆盖周边区中的凹槽。例如在一些实施例中,显示面板也可以具有不规则的形状,此时,即使整面形成发光层2043等功能层,由于凹槽203A的收集作用,发光层2043等功能层的材料例如也不会残留在绝缘层203的位于周边区21的部分上,从而不会影响封框胶205的封装效果。因此,本公开的实施例提供的制备方法制备得到的显示面板具有更好的封装效果,并且利用该制备方法可以同时形成多个显示面板,以提高生产效率。
本公开至少一实施例还提供了一种显示装置,如图10所示,显示装置300包括本公开实施例提供的任一显示面板,图中示出为显示面板200。该显示装置300可以为手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件,本公开的实施例对此不做限定。
还有以下几点需要说明:
(1)本公开实施例附图只涉及到与本公开实施例涉及到的结构,其他结构可参考通常设计。
(2)为了清晰起见,在用于描述本公开的实施例的附图中,层或区域的厚度被放大或缩小,即这些附图并非按照实际的比例绘制。可以理解,当诸如层、膜、区域或基板之类的元件被称作位于另一元件“上”或“下”时,该元件可以“直接”位于另一元件“上”或“下”或者可以存在中间元件。
(3)在不冲突的情况下,本公开的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合以得到新的实施例。
