Description

有机电致发光面板及其制造方法 Organic electroluminescence panel and manufacturing method thereof

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及一种有机电致发光(以下称为EL:Electroluminescence)面板及其制造方法。The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent (hereinafter referred to as EL: Electroluminescence) panel and a manufacturing method thereof.

背景技术 Background technique

有机EL面板是以有机EL元件为基本结构,把该有机EL元件作为单位面发光部件排列在平面基板上而形成的,该有机EL元件是通过在支撑基板上形成第一电极,在其上形成包含由有机化合物构成的发光层的有机层,再在其上形成第二电极而构成的。The organic EL panel is based on an organic EL element, which is formed by arranging the organic EL element as a unit surface light-emitting component on a flat substrate. The organic EL element is formed by forming a first electrode on a supporting substrate, and then forming An organic layer including a light-emitting layer made of an organic compound, on which a second electrode is formed.

已知在所述有机层和电极曝露于外部空气状态下时有机EL面板的特性会劣化。这是由于水分浸入有机层与电极间的交界面,妨碍了电子注入,进而产生作为非发光区域的暗点,或因电极腐蚀现象而造成,为了提高有机EL元件的稳定性和耐久性,使有机EL元件与外部空气隔绝的密封技术是必不可缺的。关于该密封技术,一般采用在形成有电极和有机层的支撑基板上,通过粘接剂将覆盖该电极和有机层的密封部件进行粘合的方法。It is known that the characteristics of an organic EL panel deteriorate when the organic layers and electrodes are exposed to the outside air. This is caused by the infiltration of water into the interface between the organic layer and the electrode, hindering the injection of electrons, and then producing dark spots as non-luminous regions, or by corrosion of the electrodes. In order to improve the stability and durability of organic EL elements, use Sealing technology to isolate organic EL elements from the outside air is essential. Regarding this sealing technique, a method of bonding a sealing member covering the electrodes and the organic layer with an adhesive to a support substrate on which the electrodes and the organic layer are formed is generally employed.

图1表示该有机EL面板的现有技术(参照下述专利文献1)。有机EL面板(有机EL元件)1由成为支撑基板的玻璃基板2、ITO电极3和有机发光材料层4和阴极5构成的叠层体6、成为密封部件的玻璃密封罐7、干燥部件8以及密闭材料9构成。FIG. 1 shows the prior art of this organic EL panel (see Patent Document 1 below). An organic EL panel (organic EL element) 1 is composed of a glass substrate 2 serving as a support substrate, a laminate 6 composed of an ITO electrode 3, an organic luminescent material layer 4, and a cathode 5, a glass sealing pot 7 serving as a sealing member, a drying member 8, and Sealing material 9 constitutes.

干燥部件8是为了在通过玻璃密封罐7密封后,吸收除去存在于其中的初期水分以及随时间释放出的或浸入的水分而设置的。特别是由于形成有机EL元件的有机层抗热能力弱,不能在密封前通过加热处理除去水分,所以不能完全排出这样的初期水分。因此,在使用现有的有机EL材料的面板中,不得不在密封部件内设置这种干燥部件8。在下述专利文献1中有以下记载,作为干燥部件8,使用可以通过化学方式吸附水分并且即使吸湿也能维持固体状态的化合物,使用粘接材料把该干燥部件8安装在玻璃密封罐7的内面(与玻璃基板对置的面)。The drying unit 8 is provided to absorb and remove the initial moisture present therein and the moisture released or infiltrated over time after being sealed by the glass airtight jar 7 . In particular, since the organic layer forming the organic EL element is weak against heat, moisture cannot be removed by heat treatment before sealing, so such initial moisture cannot be completely discharged. Therefore, in a panel using a conventional organic EL material, such a drying member 8 has to be provided in the sealing member. In the following patent document 1, it is described that as the desiccant member 8, a compound that can chemically absorb moisture and maintain a solid state even if it absorbs moisture is used, and the desiccant member 8 is attached to the inner surface of the glass airtight container 7 using an adhesive material. (the surface facing the glass substrate).

在这种现有的有机EL面板中,采用把有机EL元件的支撑基板(玻璃基板2)侧作成透明基板,从该支撑基板侧发光的方式(底面射出方式)。在这种情况下会产生下述现象,即,外部光从支撑基板等入射到面板内部(由支撑基板和密封部件(玻璃密封罐7)包围而成的密封空间),然后,入射光在密封部件的内面(与支撑基板相对的面)或被设置在该内面上的干燥部件的表面反射,从支撑基板的显示面射出。另外,虽然由有机EL元件发出的光的大部分被设定成从支撑基板的发光面射出,但有时其中一部分光在面板内成为散射光,和上述的外部光相同,该散射光在密封部件的内面或安装在该内面上的干燥部件的表面反射,从支撑基板的显示面射出。In such a conventional organic EL panel, the support substrate (glass substrate 2 ) side of the organic EL element is made a transparent substrate, and light is emitted from the support substrate side (bottom surface emission system). In this case, there will be a phenomenon that external light enters the inside of the panel (the sealed space surrounded by the support substrate and the sealing member (glass can 7)) from the support substrate, etc., and then the incident light enters the sealed space. The inner surface of the member (the surface facing the support substrate) or the surface of the drying member provided on the inner surface is reflected and emitted from the display surface of the support substrate. In addition, although most of the light emitted by the organic EL element is set to be emitted from the light-emitting surface of the supporting substrate, some of the light may become scattered light in the panel, which is the same as the above-mentioned external light. The inner surface of the inner surface or the surface reflection of the drying component installed on the inner surface is emitted from the display surface of the supporting substrate.

这样,如果入射到面板内的外部光和来自有机EL元件的散射光在密封部件的内面或干燥部件的表面反射,并从显示面一侧射出,会产生来自有机EL元件的射出光形成的显示对比度降低的问题。In this way, if the external light incident on the panel and the scattered light from the organic EL element are reflected on the inner surface of the sealing member or the surface of the drying member and emitted from the display surface side, a display formed by the emitted light from the organic EL element will be produced. The problem of reduced contrast.

并且,如果在密封部件的内面或干燥部件的表面反射的光从显示面一侧射出,那么在从显示面直接或斜着观看支撑基板的情况下等,有时会看到配置在面板内部的干燥部件,由此产生对外观造成不利的影响的问题。因此,如果把这种外观的缺陷视为次品,则需要针对外部光的入射和散射光的防止进行高精度地设计,并且还必须提高干燥部件的配置位置等的精度,所以存在着产品的成品率降低,产品成本增高的问题。In addition, if the light reflected on the inner surface of the sealing member or the surface of the drying member is emitted from the display surface side, when the supporting substrate is viewed directly or obliquely from the display surface, etc., the dryness arranged inside the panel may sometimes be seen. components, thereby causing a problem of adversely affecting the appearance. Therefore, if such defects in appearance are regarded as defective products, it is necessary to design with high precision to prevent the incidence of external light and scattered light, and it is also necessary to improve the accuracy of the arrangement position of the drying parts, so there is a product gap. The yield rate is reduced and the product cost is increased.

本发明是以解决上述问题为课题而提出的。即,本发明的目的在于,提供一种有机EL面板及其制造方法,以此来提高显示面的对比度,消除从显示面一侧可看到面板内部的干燥部件的外观缺陷,提高产品的成品率,降低产品成本等。The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems. That is, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an organic EL panel and its manufacturing method, thereby improving the contrast of the display surface, eliminating the appearance defect of the drying parts inside the panel from the display surface side, and improving the quality of the finished product. rate, reduce product cost, etc.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

以下,参照附图说明本发明的实施方式。图2~4是本发明的一实施方式的有机EL面板的说明图。该有机EL面板10、20、30在支撑基板11上形成有在一对电极间夹着至少含有发光层的有机层的有机EL元件12。而且,通过粘接剂15把密封部件13、21、31粘合在支撑基板11上,从而利用由支撑基板11和密封部件13、21、31包围而成的密封空间覆盖有机EL元件12,使其与外部空气隔绝。在该密封部件13、21、31内,在与支撑基板11相对的面上与有机EL元件12分离开设置干燥部件14。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 2 to 4 are explanatory diagrams of an organic EL panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the organic EL panels 10 , 20 , and 30 , an organic EL element 12 in which an organic layer including at least a light-emitting layer is interposed between a pair of electrodes is formed on a support substrate 11 . Furthermore, the sealing member 13, 21, 31 is adhered to the support substrate 11 by the adhesive 15, thereby covering the organic EL element 12 with the sealed space surrounded by the support substrate 11 and the sealing member 13, 21, 31, so that It is isolated from the outside air. In the sealing members 13 , 21 , and 31 , a drying member 14 is provided on a surface facing the support substrate 11 , separated from the organic EL element 12 .

此处,在图2所示的实施方式的有机EL面板10中,使用平板的密封部件13,通过在粘接剂15内混入间隔团15A来形成所述的密封空间。在图3所示的实施方式的有机EL面板20中,在密封部件21的支撑基板11侧形成密封凹部21A,在支撑基板11和密封凹部21A之间形成所述的密封空间。在图4所示的实施方式的有机EL面板30中,在密封部件31的支撑基板11侧形成密封凹部31A,在支撑基板11和密封凹部31A之间形成所述的密封空间,并且在密封凹部31A内形成用于安装干燥部件14的安装凹部31B。该安装凹部31B被用透湿性薄膜32堵塞着,用于防止干燥部件14的脱落。Here, in the organic EL panel 10 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , the sealing space described above is formed by mixing the spacers 15A into the adhesive 15 using the flat sealing member 13 . In the organic EL panel 20 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 , the sealing recess 21A is formed on the support substrate 11 side of the sealing member 21 , and the above-mentioned sealing space is formed between the support substrate 11 and the sealing recess 21A. In the organic EL panel 30 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 , a sealing recess 31A is formed on the support substrate 11 side of the sealing member 31 , the above-mentioned sealing space is formed between the support substrate 11 and the sealing recess 31A, and the sealing recess Mounting recessed portion 31B for mounting drying member 14 is formed in 31A. The mounting recess 31B is closed with a moisture-permeable film 32 to prevent the drying member 14 from coming off.

并且,在本发明的实施方式的有机EL面板10、20、30中,作为干燥部件14使用已着色为光吸收性颜色的部件。光吸收性颜色只要是能够吸收可见光区域的波长的颜色即可,优选黑色、灰色、深茶色等能够均匀吸收可见光的所有波长的颜色。作为一个实施方式,使用被着色成大致黑色或灰色的干燥部件。In addition, in the organic EL panels 10 , 20 , and 30 according to the embodiments of the present invention, a member colored in a light-absorbing color is used as the drying member 14 . The light-absorbing color may be any color as long as it can absorb wavelengths in the visible light range, and is preferably a color that can uniformly absorb all wavelengths of visible light, such as black, gray, and dark brown. As one embodiment, dry parts that are colored substantially black or gray are used.

该干燥部件14是在粘接密封部件13、21、31后安装设置的,用于吸收除去存在于其中的初期水分以及随时间放出或浸入的水分,只要具有这种功能即可,没有特别限定。作为一个实施方式,使用下述的吸湿性模塑体,通过向该模塑体内分散颜料来进行所述着色。The drying member 14 is installed after bonding the sealing members 13, 21, 31, and is used to absorb and remove the initial moisture present in it and the moisture released or infiltrated over time, as long as it has such a function, it is not particularly limited. . As one embodiment, the following hygroscopic molded body is used, and the coloring is performed by dispersing a pigment into the molded body.

另外,作为密封部件13、21、31,只要能够保持气密性即可,可以利用金属或树脂等形成,但作为一个实施方式,优选利用玻璃制基板来形成。In addition, the sealing members 13 , 21 , and 31 may be formed of metal, resin, or the like as long as airtightness can be maintained, but as one embodiment, they are preferably formed of a glass substrate.

根据这种实施方式的有机EL面板10、20、30,利用来自支撑基板11侧的射出光进行显示,在支撑基板11上形成显示面。并且,由于把已着色的干燥部件14设在密封部件13、21、31中的与支撑基板11相对的表面上,所以已着色的干燥部件14吸收入射到面板内的外部光或来自有机EL元件12的散射光,可以防止这些光被反射后从显示面一侧射出。由此,可以提高利用有机EL元件12的射出光而进行显示的对比度,同时可以消除从支撑基板11侧可看到设在面板内部的干燥部件14的外观不良。According to the organic EL panels 10 , 20 , and 30 of this embodiment, display is performed using light emitted from the support substrate 11 side, and a display surface is formed on the support substrate 11 . And, since the colored drying member 14 is provided on the surface of the sealing member 13, 21, 31 opposite to the supporting substrate 11, the colored drying member 14 absorbs the external light incident into the panel or the light from the organic EL element. The scattered light of 12 can prevent these lights from being emitted from the side of the display surface after being reflected. Thereby, the contrast of display using the light emitted from the organic EL element 12 can be improved, and the appearance defect that the drying member 14 provided inside the panel can be seen from the side of the support substrate 11 can be eliminated.

为了防止在密封部件13、21、31内面的反射,也可以考虑在密封部件内面涂覆光吸收性涂料,但根据这种方法,额外需要涂覆密封部件内面的工序,同时由于所涂覆的涂料在密封空间内产生有机EL元件12的劣化因素(水分或有机材料),导致降低有机EL元件12寿命的不良情况。如果根据本发明的实施方式,通过将干燥部件14着色,不会影响制造工序的工序数目,也不会在密封空间内产生有机EL元件12的劣化因素。In order to prevent reflection on the inner surface of the sealing member 13, 21, 31, it is also conceivable to apply light-absorbing paint on the inner surface of the sealing member, but according to this method, an additional process of coating the inner surface of the sealing member is required, and at the same time due to the applied The paint generates a deterioration factor (moisture or organic material) of the organic EL element 12 in the sealed space, resulting in a disadvantage of shortening the life of the organic EL element 12 . According to the embodiment of the present invention, by coloring the drying member 14, the number of steps in the manufacturing process is not affected, and the deterioration factor of the organic EL element 12 does not occur in the sealed space.

并且,特别是通过把干燥部件14的颜色作成高可见光吸收率的黑色或灰色,可以均匀吸收上述的外部光或散射光的可见光区域的所有波长,能够更可靠地发挥上述作用。这样,特别是在进行彩色显示的有机EL面板中,可以有效改善该显示面的对比度及外观不良。In addition, by making the color of the drying member 14 black or gray with a high visible light absorption rate, it is possible to uniformly absorb all wavelengths in the visible light region of the above-mentioned external light or scattered light, and the above-mentioned function can be more reliably performed. In this way, especially in an organic EL panel that performs color display, it is possible to effectively improve the contrast and appearance defects of the display surface.

并且,在利用吸湿性模塑体形成干燥部件14,在其中分散颜料来进行所述着色的实施方式中,不论干燥部件14的种类或材料,均可着色成所需要的颜色。这样,可以在不影响干燥部件14的吸湿功能的情况下确保上述作用。In addition, in the embodiment in which the drying member 14 is formed from a hygroscopic molded body and the coloring is performed by dispersing a pigment therein, the drying member 14 can be colored in a desired color regardless of the type or material of the drying member 14 . In this way, the above-mentioned effects can be ensured without affecting the moisture absorption function of the drying member 14 .

并且,在把密封部件13、21、31作成玻璃制基板的实施方式中,在上述作用的基础上,可以获得以下作用。即,第一,由于利用和支撑基板11一般使用的玻璃制基板相同的材料形成密封部件13、21、31,所以,支撑基板11和密封部件13、21、31的热膨胀系数相同,从而可以提高面板相对于温度变化的机械强度。第二,玻璃制基板的表面平滑性高于金属制等的密封部件,所以在与粘接剂15的交界面处难以形成间隙,从而能够提高粘接力。因此,水分等难以从外部浸入,从而可以提高密封性。第三,由于与采用金属制密封部件的情况相比,通过利用玻璃制基板形成密封部件13、21、31,可以使面板薄壁化和轻量化。Furthermore, in the embodiment in which the sealing members 13 , 21 , and 31 are made of glass substrates, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the above-mentioned effects. That is, first, since the sealing members 13, 21, 31 are formed of the same material as the glass substrate generally used for the supporting substrate 11, the thermal expansion coefficients of the supporting substrate 11 and the sealing members 13, 21, 31 are the same, thereby improving The mechanical strength of the panel with respect to temperature changes. Second, since the surface smoothness of the glass substrate is higher than that of a sealing member made of metal or the like, gaps are less likely to be formed at the interface with the adhesive 15 and the adhesive force can be improved. Therefore, it is difficult for moisture and the like to infiltrate from the outside, so that the airtightness can be improved. Third, since the sealing members 13 , 21 , and 31 are formed using glass substrates, the thickness and weight of the panel can be reduced compared to the case of using metal sealing members.

下面,说明本发明的实施方式涉及的有机EL面板的制造方法。图5是表示其概略流程的说明图。首先,作为元件形成工序S1A,在支撑基板11上形成叠层了第一电极、有机层、第二电极的有机EL元件12,形成在一对电极间夹着至少含有发光层的有机层的有机EL元件12。此处,有机EL元件的形成采用一般使用的众所周知的成膜工序和图案形成工序。Next, a method of manufacturing an organic EL panel according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic flow thereof. First, as the element forming step S1A, an organic EL element 12 in which a first electrode, an organic layer, and a second electrode are laminated is formed on a supporting substrate 11, and an organic EL element 12 is formed in which an organic layer including at least a light-emitting layer is sandwiched between a pair of electrodes. EL element 12. Here, the formation of the organic EL element employs a well-known film-forming process and a patterning process generally used.

另一方面,作为干燥部件安装工序S1B,把干燥部件14安装到密封部件13、21、31上。在该干燥部件安装工序S1B,准备好预先经颜料的分散等已着色的干燥部件14,与通常的干燥部件安装工序相同地将其安装在密封部件13、21、31的内面(与支撑基板11相对的面)。On the other hand, the drying member 14 is attached to the sealing members 13, 21, 31 as the drying member attaching step S1B. In this drying member mounting step S1B, the drying member 14 that has been previously colored by dispersion of a pigment is prepared, and it is mounted on the inner surfaces of the sealing members 13, 21, 31 (with the support substrate 11) in the same manner as in the usual drying member mounting process. opposite side).

作为密封工序S2,通过在支撑基板11的周边或密封部件13、21、31的粘接面上涂覆粘接剂15,在支撑基板11上粘合密封部件13、21、31,对有机EL元件12进行密封。然后,根据需要经过适当的检查工序S3,获得实施方式的有机EL面板10、20、30。As the sealing step S2, the adhesive 15 is applied to the periphery of the supporting substrate 11 or the bonding surface of the sealing members 13, 21, 31, and the sealing members 13, 21, 31 are bonded to the supporting substrate 11. Element 12 is sealed. Then, organic EL panels 10 , 20 , and 30 according to the embodiment are obtained through an appropriate inspection step S3 as necessary.
