Description

OLED显示面板以及OLED显示面板的制造方法 技术领域
本发明涉及显示器技术领域,特别涉及一种OLED显示面板以及OLED显示面板的制造方法。
背景技术
随着信息社会的发展,人们对显示设备的需求日益增长。为了满足这种要求,各种平板显示装置如薄膜晶体管液晶显示器(TFT-LCD)、等离子体显示器(PDP)、有机发光二极管(OLED)显示器都得到了迅猛的发展。在这些平板显示装置当中,OLED显示器由于具有主动发光、对比度高、响应速度快、轻薄等诸多优点,正在逐步占据平板显示的主导地位。目前,OLED显示器已经广泛应用于手机、电视、电脑以及智能手表等各种高性能显示领域中。
图1为传统的OLED显示面板的像素电路图。如图1所示,在现有的OLED显示面板中,最基本的像素电路包括开关晶体管T1、驱动晶体管T2和存储电容Cs,所述开关晶体管T1的栅极与扫描线Sn连接,所述开关晶体管T1的源极与数据线Dm连接,所述开关晶体管T1的漏极、驱动晶体管T2的栅极和存储电容Cs的第一极板均连接于节点N1,所述驱动晶体管T2的源极和存储电容Cs的第二极板均与第一电源VDD连接,所述驱动晶体管T2的漏极与所述有机发光二极管OLED的阳极连接,所述有机发光二极管OLED的阴极与第二电源VSS连接。通过扫描线Sn打开所述开关晶体管T1时,数据线Dm提供的数据电压经由所述开关晶体管T1存储到存储电容Cs,从而控制所述驱动晶体管T2产生电流,以驱动所述有机发光二极管OLED发光。
随着生活水平的不断提高和生产力水平的日益改进,市场对高清晰、高分辨率产品的追求也越来越迫切。然而,传统的OLED显示面板的分辨率一般在250PPI以下(PPI表示每英寸所拥有的像素数目,PPI数值越高,代表显示器能够以越高的像素密度显示图像),已经无法满足人们对于高分辨率显示器的追求。这是因为分辨率的提高要求同层间距比如相邻数据线之间的距离缩小,然而目前的OLED中相邻的像素单元的数据线通常设置在同一结构层上,基于现 有的工艺条件(比如光刻机的曝光限制),很难进一步缩小相邻数据线之间的距离,从而导致OLED显示面板的分辨率难以提高。除了光刻机的曝光限制之外,数据线串扰和数据线短路也是生产高分辨率的OLED必须解决的技术难题。数据线串扰是指两条数据线之间的耦合,两条数据线之间的互感和互容会引起数据线出现噪声,研究表明,两条数据线上电流强度相同时,两条数据线间的距离越近,彼此之间的串扰效应越明显。数据线短路是指两条数据线之间彼此相连,使像素电极无法接收到正常信号而产生不良。在相同工艺条件下,两条数据线间的距离越近,彼此之间发生短路的几率越大。

具体实施方式
本发明的核心思想在于,提供一种OLED显示面板及其制造方法,所述OLED显示面板包括扫描线、数据线和电源线VDD,所述扫描线和数据线定义了以矩阵方式排列的多个像素组,每个像素组内具有两个子像素,同一像素组内的两个子像素连接同一电源线VDD并沿该电源线VDD镜像排列,且同一像素组内的两个子像素各自连接的数据线位于不同结构层上。如此一来,在不缩小像素面积的情况下,可使同层相邻的数据线之间的距离增加一倍,使不同层相邻的数据线之间由层间绝缘层隔离,有效减少数据线之间发生短路的几率,且可大幅度消除数据线之间的串扰。另外,由于同一像素组内两个子像素对应连接的数据线设置在不同的结构层上,也可基于现有设备和工艺条件缩小像素面积,提升OLED显示面板的PPI,进而提高OLED显示面板的分辨率。
以下结合附图和具体实施例对本发明提出的OLED显示面板以及OLED显示面板的制造方法作进一步详细说明。根据下面说明和权利要求书,本发明的优点和特征将更清楚。需说明的是,附图中各层薄膜厚度和区域大小形状不反映OLED显示面板的真实比例,目的只是示意性的说明本发明内容。
实施例一
图12a是本发明实施例一中OLED显示面板的一个像素组的平面示意图,所反映的是两个子像素的结构,图12b是图12a中第一子像素的剖面示意图, 图12c是图12a中第二子像素的剖面示意图。
如图12a、12b、12c所示,本实施例的OLED显示面板的主体结构包括形成在基板100上的扫描线、数据线和电源线,所述扫描线和数据线定义了以矩阵方式排列的多个像素组,每个像素组内具有两个子像素,同一像素组内的两个子像素连接同一电源线VDD并沿该电源线VDD镜像排列,且同一像素组内的两个子像素各自连接的数据线位于不同结构层上。为便于说明本实施例的技术方案,如图12a所示,本实施例将沿平行于纸面方向上下排列的两个子像素分别称为第一子像素和第二子像素,其中,位于下侧的子像素称为第一子像素,位于上侧的子像素称为第二子像素,与第一子像素的开关晶体管的源极连接的数据线称为第一数据线D1,与第二子像素的开关晶体管的源极连接的数据线称为第二数据线D2。
继续参考图12a、12b、12c,并结合2a至图11c所示,所述第一数据线D1位于第二层间绝缘层160下方(具体是在第一层间绝缘层140与第二层间绝缘层160之间),所述第一数据线D1通过贯穿第一层间绝缘层140的通孔(这里是指第二通孔-140a-1)与第一开关晶体管的源极S11连接;所述第二数据线D2位于第二层间绝缘层160上方(具体是在第二层间绝缘层160与第三层间绝缘层180之间),所述第二数据线D2通过贯穿第一层间绝缘层140和第二层间绝缘层-160的通孔(这里是指第三通孔160a-2)与第二开关晶体管的源极-S21连接;即,第一数据线D1和第二数据线D2分别位于第二层间绝缘层160的两侧,第一数据线D1和第二数据线D2之间间隔设置一第二层间绝缘层160,第一数据线D1和第二数据线D2通过不同深度的通孔与开关晶体管的源极连接。如此,在不缩小像素面积的情况下,使同层相邻的数据线之间的距离增加了一倍,不同层相邻的数据线之间则由层间绝缘层(这里具体是指第二层间绝缘层160)隔离,在生产中可有效减少数据线之间发生短路的几率,且在使用中大幅度消除了数据线之间的串扰,不但提高了产品的成品率,而且提升了产品的画面品质。当然,由于同一像素组内两个子像素对应连接的数据线设置在不同的结构层上(同层相邻的数据线之间的距离得以增大),因此不必受限于现有设备和工艺条件,得以缩小像素面积,提升OLED显示面板的PPI。

继续参考图10a、11a、12a,所述第一数据线D1、第二数据线D2和电源线VDD相互平行,扫描线Sn则与所述电源线VDD相互垂直,且所述第一数据线D1和第二数据线D2沿电源线VDD镜像对称。同时,所述第一存储电容C1和第二存储电容C2沿电源线VDD镜像对称,所述第一开关晶体管T11和第二开关晶体管T21沿电源线VDD镜像对称,所述第一驱动晶体管T12和第二驱动晶体管T22沿电源线VDD镜像对称。具体的,本实施例中,所述第一存储电容C1的下极板C1-1和第二存储电容C2的下极板C2-1均为长方形且面积相同并沿电源线VDD镜像对称,所述第一存储电容C1的上极板C1-2和第二存储电容C2的上极板C2-2均为长方形且面积相同并沿电源线VDD镜像对称。

首先,如图2a、2b、2c所示,提供一基板100。所述基板100通常为透明基板,具体的,所述透明基板可为硬质基板或可挠式基板,例如透明玻璃基板或透明塑料基板。所述透明基板的形状可为平面、曲面或其他不规则形状。应理解的是,所述透明基板的材质以及形状在此不做限制。
接着,继续参考图2a、2b、2c所示,在所述基板100上形成硅岛。其中,形成硅岛的具体过程包括:采用化学气相沉积(CVD)工艺在所述基板100上形成一非晶硅层(a-Si);对所述非晶硅层采用准分子激光退火(ELA)、固相晶化(SPC)或金属诱导结晶(MIC)等工艺方法,将其转化成多晶硅层(P-Si);进行第一道光刻工艺,图形化所述多晶硅层形成硅岛。所述硅岛用以作为第一开关晶体管T11的有源层、第一驱动晶体管T12的有源层、第二开关晶体管T21的有源层以及第二驱动晶体管T22的有源层。具体而言,所述硅岛对应于所述第一开关晶体管T11、第一驱动晶体管T12、第二开关晶体管T21和第二驱动晶体管T22各自的源极和漏极位置。
重点参考图2a所示,本实施例中,所述硅岛包括第一段111-1、第二段111-2、第三段112-1、第四段112-2、第五段113以及第六段114,上述六部分均大致呈条状,且上述第一段111-1、第二段111-2、第三段112-1、第四段112-2、第五段113沿X方向延伸,而所述第六段114沿Y方向延伸。其中,第一段111-1和第三段112-1为独立的条状结构,第一段111-1用以作为第一子像素中第一开关晶体管T11的有源层,第三段112-1用以作为第二子像素中第二开关晶体管T21的有源层,并且,第一段111-1和第三段112-1镜像对称。第五段113位于第二段111-2和第四段112-2之间,所述第二段111-2和第四段112-2镜像对称,第六段114连接第二段111-2、第四段112-2、第五段113的一端以形成“山” 字形结构,第二段111-2、第四段112-2、第五段113、第六段114共同作为第一驱动晶体管T12和第二驱动晶体管T22的有源层(即第五段113为两个驱动晶体管所共用)。应当认识到,在本发明其它实施例中,所述硅岛的形状可以做一些适当的变化,例如,第一驱动晶体管T12和第二驱动晶体管T22的有源层还可以是两个开口方向相同的“U”型结构(即第一驱动晶体管T12和第二驱动晶体管T22并不共用有源层),本发明并不限制硅岛的具体形状。
优选的,如图2b和图2c所示,在基板100上形成硅岛之前,先在所述基板100上形成缓冲层101,所述缓冲层101采用的材料例如为氮化硅或氧化硅。在基板100上形成硅岛之后,进行第二道光刻工艺,以对所述硅岛的预定区域进行离子注入,如图2a中虚线框所示,本实施例是对所述第一开关晶体管T11的漏极区域和第二开关晶体管T21的漏极区域进行离子注入,以使其导通性能更好。

接着,如图12a、12b、12c所示,采用溅射或蒸发工艺在所述钝化绝缘层170上形成一电极层,并进行第十三道光刻工艺,图形化所述电极层,以形成第一有机发光二极管的阳极221和第二有机发光二极管的阳极222,所述第一有机发光二极管的阳极221通过所述接触孔200a-1与第一驱动晶体管T12的漏极 D12电性连接,所述第二有机发光二极管的阳极222通过所述接触孔200a-2与第二驱动晶体管T22的漏极D22电性连接。所述电极层可以采用氧化铟锡、氧化锌、氧化铟锌、银、金或铝中的一种或多种。
继续参考图12b所示,所述第一驱动晶体管T12的源极S12通过所述第四通孔180a与其有源层112-1实现电性连接,同时所述第一驱动晶体管T12的源极S12通过所述第四通孔180a-3与所述电源线VDD和第一存储电容C1的第二电极(即上极板C1-2)实现电性连接。

综上,在本实施例所述的OLED显示面板中,两个子像素为一组,并根据电源线VDD镜像排列,且同一像素组内的两个子像素各自连接的数据线位于不同结构层上。可在不缩小像素面积的情况下,使同层相邻的数据线之间的距离增加了一倍,使不同层相邻的数据线之间由层间绝缘层隔离,有效减少数据线之间发生短路的几率,且在使用中大幅度消除了数据线之间的串扰,不但提高了产品的成品率,而且提升了产品的画面品质。再者,由于同一像素组内两个子像素对应连接的数据线设置在不同的结构层上,也可基于现有设备和工艺条件缩小像素面积,提升OLED显示面板的PPI,提高OLED显示面板的分辨率。此外,本实施例中第一数据线D1和第一存储电容C1的上极板C1-2不在同一层,第二数据线D2和第二存储电容C2的上极板C2-2不在同一层,比如所述第一数据线D1和第二存储电容C2的上极板C2-2一并形成,而第二数据线D2和第一存储电容C1的上极板C1-2一并形成,由此,有利于缩小同层的数据线和存储电容上极板的间距,进而缩小像素面积,提升OLED显示面板的PPI,提高OLED显示面板的分辨率。
