Description
技术领域technical field
本发明关于一种有机发光显示面板及其制作方法,尤指一种顶面发光型有机发光显示面板及其制作方法。The present invention relates to an organic light-emitting display panel and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a top-emitting organic light-emitting display panel and a manufacturing method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
近年来,有机发光显示面板(organiclight-emittingdisplay,OLED)已渐渐成为热门的新兴平面显示器,由于具有自发光、广视角、反应时间快、高发光效率、低操作电压、面板厚度薄、可制作成可挠曲性面板以及制程简单等优点,因此已广泛地应用于各种平面显示产品上。In recent years, organic light-emitting display panel (organic light-emitting display, OLED) has gradually become a popular emerging flat-panel display. Due to the advantages of flexible panel and simple manufacturing process, it has been widely used in various flat display products.
传统有机发光显示面板包含有多个有机发光二极管作为显示像素,以显示出画面。其中,各有机发光二极管由一阳极、一发光层以及一阴极所构成,且阳极、发光层与阴极依序堆叠于基板上。并且,为了降低有机发光二极管的发光能障,阳极使用高功函数的材料,且阴极使用低功函数的材料。然而,一般具有低功函数以及高导电率的材料为金属材料,且为了不增加阴极的电阻值,由金属材料所构成的阴极因具有一定厚度而不具有透光性。因此,传统大尺寸的有机发光显示面板将发光层所产生的光线从阳极射出,即所谓的底面发光有机发光显示面板。A conventional organic light emitting display panel includes a plurality of organic light emitting diodes as display pixels to display images. Wherein, each organic light emitting diode is composed of an anode, a light-emitting layer and a cathode, and the anode, the light-emitting layer and the cathode are sequentially stacked on the substrate. Moreover, in order to reduce the light-emitting energy barrier of the OLED, the anode uses a material with a high work function, and the cathode uses a material with a low work function. However, generally the material with low work function and high conductivity is a metal material, and in order not to increase the resistance of the cathode, the cathode made of the metal material has a certain thickness and is not transparent. Therefore, conventional large-sized organic light-emitting display panels emit light generated by the light-emitting layer from the anode, which is a so-called bottom-emitting organic light-emitting display panel.
不过,用于驱动有机发光二极管的薄膜晶体管与有机发光二极管形成于同一基板上,且介于有机发光二极管与基板之间,因此底面发光有机发光显示面板的像素开口率会受限于薄膜晶体管的大小与数量,而无法提升。此外,为了有效地控制驱动有机发光二极管的电流大小,使有机发光二极管所产生的像素灰阶更明显,用于驱动单一有机发光二极管的薄膜晶体管的数量亦相对地增加。如此一来,随着有机发光显示面版的尺寸缩小,像素开口率会大幅地降低。因此,目前已有发展出顶面发光的有机发光显示面板,以避免薄膜晶体管的数量影响像素开口率。However, the thin film transistor used to drive the OLED is formed on the same substrate as the OLED, and is interposed between the OLED and the substrate. Therefore, the pixel aperture ratio of the bottom emitting OLED display panel is limited by the thin film transistor. size and quantity, and cannot be upgraded. In addition, in order to effectively control the magnitude of the current driving the OLED and make the pixel gray scale generated by the OLED more obvious, the number of thin film transistors used to drive a single OLED is relatively increased. In this way, as the size of the OLED panel shrinks, the pixel aperture ratio will be greatly reduced. Therefore, a top-emitting organic light-emitting display panel has been developed to prevent the number of thin film transistors from affecting the pixel aperture ratio.
传统顶面发光型的有机发光显示面板会于形成有薄膜晶体管以及有机发光二极管的阵列基板上覆盖一彩色滤光片基板,以保护有机发光二极管,并提升有机发光显示面板所产生光线颜色的色域。然而,在结合彩色滤光片基板与阵列基板的过程中,空气中的微粒容易会附着于阵列基板上,使得微粒容易被夹在彩色滤光片基板与阵列基板之间。再者,彩色滤光片基板与阵列基板之间的间隙(cellgap)仅约略为3.8微米,但空气中的微粒大小约略介于5微米与10微米之间,因此在结合彩色滤光片基板与阵列基板时,微粒容易朝有机发光二极管突出,而压坏有机发光二极管。A traditional top-emission organic light-emitting display panel will cover a color filter substrate on the array substrate formed with thin-film transistors and organic light-emitting diodes to protect the organic light-emitting diodes and improve the color of the light produced by the organic light-emitting display panel. area. However, during the process of combining the color filter substrate and the array substrate, particles in the air are likely to adhere to the array substrate, so that the particles are easily sandwiched between the color filter substrate and the array substrate. Moreover, the gap (cellgap) between the color filter substrate and the array substrate is only about 3.8 microns, but the particle size in the air is between 5 microns and 10 microns, so when combining the color filter substrate and the array substrate, When the array substrate is used, the particles tend to protrude toward the OLEDs and crush the OLEDs.
有鉴于此,提供具有大于微粒大小的单元间隙的有机发光显示面板,以避免有机发光二极管受到损坏,实为业界努力的目标。In view of this, it is a goal of the industry to provide an organic light emitting display panel with a cell gap larger than the size of a particle to prevent the organic light emitting diode from being damaged.

A recess 18a, wherein the first recess 18a is located above the first section 16a of the patterned color filter layer 16 and aligned with the display opening 14a. Moreover, the first protection layer 18 has a thick portion 18b, a thin portion 18c and a spacer portion 18d, so that the thick portion 18b, the thin portion 18c and the spacer portion 18d form a first depression 18a, and the thin portion 18c is located in the first The bottom of the depression 18a. In this embodiment, the step of forming the first protective layer 18 is to cover the first substrate 12 and the black matrix 14 with a protective material layer, for example: photoresist material, including negative photoresist material or positive photoresist material . Then use a half-tone mask (half-tonemask) or a gray-scale mask (gray-tonemask), align the semi-transparent part to the position of the display opening 14a, that is, the position where the first recess 18a is to be formed, and match Another lithography process is performed to remove part of the photoresist material and simultaneously form the first protection layer 18 having the thick portion 18b, the thin portion 18c and the spacer portion 18d. In this way, the thin portion 18c is still covered on the first region 16a of the patterned color filter layer 16, and will not be damaged in subsequent other manufacturing processes. The material for making the first protective layer in the present invention is not limited to the above, and the method for forming the first protective layer in the present invention is not limited thereto. In a variant embodiment of the present invention, the material of the first protective layer 18 can also be a developable organic material, directly proceed to the steps of exposure and development, and simultaneously form the thick portion 18b, the thin portion 18c and the spacer portion 18d The first protective layer 18 . In other embodiments of the present invention, the material of the first protective layer 18 can also be an organic material, and the step of forming the first protective layer can also etch or grind the thickness of the protective material layer to be the same as the thickness of the thick portion, so as to The thick part is formed first, and then another lithography process is performed to etch the first depression on the protective material layer to form the thin part. In addition, the first depression 18a of this embodiment has a depth, which can be between 1 micron and 3 microns, and the first protection layer 18 has a thickness T, which can be between 1 micron and 30 microns, wherein the thin part The first thickness T1 of the spacer part may be between 1 micron and 2 microns, the second thickness T2 of the spacer part may be between 2 microns and 6 microns, and the third thickness T3 of the thick part may be between 4 microns and 30 microns. between microns, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Moreover, the depth of the first depression can be adjusted by controlling the exposure energy of the lithography process.
接着,如图4所示,于第一保护层18上选择性的覆盖一第二保护层20,例如:氮化硅、氧化硅、氮氧化硅或是其他的有机材质。随后,于间隙物部18d上形成一金属图案层22,例如:网格状金属图案。金属图案层22的制作方式例如是将导电粒子,例如:银粒子、铝粒子、铜粒子、铟锡氧化物粒子等导电粒子,溶解于一溶剂中,例如:负型光阻溶剂,以形成一溶液,并将溶液涂布于第二保护层20上。然后,进行一曝光制程,将位于图案化彩色滤光层16的第二区块16b上的部分溶液固化,而其他部份未固化。接着,进行一显影制程,以移除未固化的溶液。随后,烘烤位于图案化彩色滤光层16的第二区块16b上的固化溶液,以移除固化溶液中的溶剂,并于间隙物部18d上形成金属图案层22,例如:网格状金属图案。值得注意的是,本实施例于形成金属图案层22之前是先于第一保护层18上覆盖第二保护层20,使得金属图案层22可与第二保护层20有较佳的黏着度,以避免金属图案层22因与第一保护层18之间的黏着度较差而产生剥落的情况。Next, as shown in FIG. 4 , a second protection layer 20 such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride or other organic materials is selectively covered on the first protection layer 18 . Subsequently, a metal pattern layer 22 , such as a grid-like metal pattern, is formed on the spacer portion 18 d. The fabrication method of the metal pattern layer 22 is, for example, dissolving conductive particles, such as silver particles, aluminum particles, copper particles, indium tin oxide particles, etc., in a solvent, such as a negative photoresist solvent, to form a solution, and apply the solution on the second protective layer 20. Then, an exposure process is performed to cure part of the solution located on the second region 16 b of the patterned color filter layer 16 , while other parts are not cured. Next, a developing process is performed to remove the uncured solution. Subsequently, the curing solution located on the second block 16b of the patterned color filter layer 16 is baked to remove the solvent in the curing solution, and the metal pattern layer 22 is formed on the spacer portion 18d, for example: a grid shape Metal pattern. It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, the second protective layer 20 is covered on the first protective layer 18 before forming the metal pattern layer 22, so that the metal pattern layer 22 can have better adhesion to the second protective layer 20, In order to avoid peeling off of the metal pattern layer 22 due to poor adhesion with the first protection layer 18 .
接下来,如图5、图6与图7所示,于第二保护层20与金属图案层22上形成一第一间隙物24,金属图案层22可用于辅助垫高第一间隙物24,第一间隙物24的材质例如:光阻材料,其中第一间隙物24沿一第一方向D1覆盖金属图案层22,但沿垂直第一方向的一第二方向D2仅覆盖部分金属图案层22,且暴露出部分金属图案层22。然后,于第二保护层20、金属图案层22与第一间隙物24上覆盖一透明电极层26,且透明电极层26可与暴露出的部分金属图案层22相接触,而彼此电性连接,此设计可以增加第一间隙物24与透明电极层26的可接触面积。至此已完成本实施例的彩色滤光片基板27。于本实施例中,第一间隙物24具有一高度,介于1微米至10微米之间,但不限于此。Next, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, a first spacer 24 is formed on the second protection layer 20 and the metal pattern layer 22, and the metal pattern layer 22 can be used to assist in raising the first spacer 24, The material of the first spacer 24 is, for example: photoresist material, wherein the first spacer 24 covers the metal pattern layer 22 along a first direction D1, but only covers part of the metal pattern layer 22 along a second direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction. , and part of the metal pattern layer 22 is exposed.

So far, the color filter substrate 27 of this embodiment has been completed. In this embodiment, the first spacer 24 has a height between 1 micron and 10 microns, but not limited thereto.
然后,如图8所示,提供一第二基板28,例如:玻璃、塑胶或石英等透明基板,并不限于此。具有一第二内表面28a,且于第二基板28的第二内表面28a上形成一有机发光显示元件30。至此已完成本实施例的阵列基板32。随后,以第二基板28的第二内表面28a面向第一基板12的第一内表面12a的方式,组装第一基板12与第二基板28,并将有机发光显示元件30对准显示开口14a,使有机发光显示元件30所产生的光线可从显示开口14a经过图案化彩色滤光层16射出显示开口14a,以形成本实施例的有机发光显示面板10。Then, as shown in FIG. 8 , a second substrate 28 is provided, such as a transparent substrate such as glass, plastic or quartz, but is not limited thereto. It has a second inner surface 28a, and an organic light emitting display element 30 is formed on the second inner surface 28a of the second substrate 28 . So far, the array substrate 32 of this embodiment has been completed. Subsequently, the first substrate 12 and the second substrate 28 are assembled with the second inner surface 28a of the second substrate 28 facing the first inner surface 12a of the first substrate 12, and the organic light emitting display element 30 is aligned with the display opening 14a. The light generated by the organic light emitting display element 30 can pass through the patterned color filter layer 16 from the display opening 14 a to exit the display opening 14 a, so as to form the organic light emitting display panel 10 of this embodiment.
于本实施例中,形成有机发光显示元件30的步骤说明如下,但不以此为限。首先,于第二基板28的第二内表面28a上形成一主动元件层34,其中主动元件层34包含有一主动元件48,例如:薄膜晶体管,以及一平坦层50,覆盖于主动元件48与第二基板28上,并具有一穿孔50a暴露出主动元件48的一电极。然后,于主动元件层34的平坦层50上形成一第一电极36,并通过平坦层50的穿孔50a电性连接至主动元件48的电极,其中第一电极36可由例如金属等具有反射特性与高功函数的导电材料所构成,且第一电极36的位置对应彩色滤光片基板27的显示开口14设置。随后,于主动元件层34与第一电极36上形成一挡墙38,且挡墙38具有一孔洞38a,暴露出第一电极36,其中挡墙38由一绝缘材料所构成。接着,于挡墙38上形成一第二间隙物40,例如:光阻材料,且依序于暴露出的第一电极36上覆盖一发光层42与第二电极44,其中发光层42与第二电极44延伸至覆盖于挡墙38与第二间隙物40上,因此第二电极44可具有一第二凹陷44a,对准孔洞38a。In this embodiment, the steps of forming the organic light emitting display device 30 are described as follows, but not limited thereto. First, an active device layer 34 is formed on the second inner surface 28a of the second substrate 28, wherein the active device layer 34 includes an active device 48, such as a thin film transistor, and a planar layer 50 covering the active device 48 and the first The second substrate 28 has a through hole 50 a exposing an electrode of the active device 48 . Then, a first electrode 36 is formed on the planar layer 50 of the active device layer 34, and is electrically connected to the electrode of the active device 48 through the through hole 50a of the planar layer 50, wherein the first electrode 36 can be made of, for example, metal with reflective properties and The first electrode 36 is made of conductive material with high work function, and the position of the first electrode 36 is set corresponding to the display opening 14 of the color filter substrate 27 . Subsequently, a barrier wall 38 is formed on the active device layer 34 and the first electrode 36, and the barrier wall 38 has a hole 38a exposing the first electrode 36, wherein the barrier wall 38 is made of an insulating material. Next, a second spacer 40, such as a photoresist material, is formed on the retaining wall 38, and a light-emitting layer 42 and a second electrode 44 are sequentially covered on the exposed first electrode 36, wherein the light-emitting layer 42 and the first electrode 44 are covered. The second electrode 44 extends to cover the retaining wall 38 and the second spacer 40 , so the second electrode 44 can have a second recess 44 a aligned with the hole 38 a.
再者,第一电极36、第二电极44与位于其间的发光层42构成一有机发光二极管46,用于产生一白色光,并对准显示开口14a设置,使白色光可直接朝上射向图案化彩色滤光层16的第一区块16a,并于有机发光显示面板10的外侧显示出具有图案化彩色滤光层16的颜色的光线。第一电极36因具有高功函数而可作为有机发光二极管46的阳极,且通过平坦层50的穿孔50a电性连接至主动元件48的电极,以藉由主动元件48来控制有机发光二极管46所产生光线的灰阶。第二电极44则可由具有低功函数的透明导电材料所构成,例如:具有一定薄度而可呈现透明状态的银或镁,而可作为有机发光二极管46的阴极。此外,发光层42由可产生白色光的有机发光材料所构成,例如:有机发光材料为红光、绿光与蓝光有机发光材料堆叠而成,或者有机发光材料为蓝光有机发光材料,并搭配黄色荧光粉,使得有机发光二极管46可产生白色光。值得一提的是,本实施例的第一电极36由具有反射特性的导电材料所构成,且第二电极44由透明导电材料所构成,因此位于第一电极36与第二电极44之间的发光层42所产生的光线不仅可从第二电极44射出,并可受到第一电极36的反射,而往第二电极44射出,以有效地提升光利用率。由此可知,本实施例的有机发光显示面板为一顶面发光型有机发光显示面板。本发明的有机发光二极管并不限仅由第一电极、发光层以及第二电极所构成,而亦可包含有电子注入层与电洞注入层,但不以此为限。Moreover, the first electrode 36, the second electrode 44 and the light-emitting layer 42 therebetween form an organic light-emitting diode 46 for generating a white light, and is aligned with the display opening 14a, so that the white light can be directed upwards The first block 16a of the patterned color filter layer 16 displays light with the color of the patterned color filter layer 16 on the outside of the organic light emitting display panel 10 . The first electrode 36 can be used as the anode of the OLED 46 due to its high work function, and is electrically connected to the electrode of the active device 48 through the through hole 50a of the planar layer 50, so that the active device 48 can control the operation of the OLED 46. Generates a gray scale of light. The second electrode 44 can be made of a transparent conductive material with a low work function, such as silver or magnesium with a certain thickness and can be transparent, and can be used as a cathode of the OLED 46 . In addition, the light-emitting layer 42 is made of organic light-emitting materials that can generate white light. For example, the organic light-emitting materials are stacked red, green and blue light-emitting organic light-emitting materials, or the organic light-emitting materials are blue-light organic light-emitting materials combined with yellow light. Phosphor, so that the OLED 46 can generate white light. It is worth mentioning that the first electrode 36 of this embodiment is made of a conductive material with reflective properties, and the second electrode 44 is made of a transparent conductive material, so the area between the first electrode 36 and the second electrode 44 The light generated by the light-emitting layer 42 can not only be emitted from the second electrode 44, but also be reflected by the first electrode 36, and then emitted to the second electrode 44, so as to effectively improve light utilization efficiency. It can be seen from the above that the organic light emitting display panel of this embodiment is a top emission type organic light emitting display panel. The organic light emitting diode of the present invention is not limited to be composed of the first electrode, the light emitting layer and the second electrode, but may also include an electron injection layer and a hole injection layer, but is not limited thereto.
值得注意的是,于组装阵列基板32与彩色滤光片基板27时,第二间隙物40对应第一间隙物24设置,使覆盖于第二间隙物40上的第二电极44与覆盖于第一间隙物24上的透明导电层26相接触,并彼此电性连接。藉此,本实施例的有机发光显示面板10的第二电极44可有效地通过透明导电层26以及金属图案层22电性连接至周边驱动元件,以避免因过薄而与周边驱动元件之间有过大的电阻。另外,第二间隙物40、第一间隙物24与金属图案层22堆叠于第一保护层18与挡墙38之间,且第二凹陷44a对准第一凹陷18a设置,使第一凹陷18a的底部与有机发光显示元件30之间可具有一间隙H,介于5微米至30微米之间,使对应显示开口14a的间隙H可大于空气中的微粒大小。藉此,在结合彩色滤光片基板27与阵列基板32时,微粒不会朝有机发光二极管46突出,而可避免有机发光二极管受到损坏。It should be noted that when assembling the array substrate 32 and the color filter substrate 27, the second spacer 40 is arranged corresponding to the first spacer 24, so that the second electrode 44 covering the second spacer 40 and the second electrode 44 covering the first spacer 40 are arranged. The transparent conductive layers 26 on a spacer 24 are in contact and are electrically connected to each other. In this way, the second electrode 44 of the organic light emitting display panel 10 of this embodiment can be effectively electrically connected to the peripheral driving elements through the transparent conductive layer 26 and the metal pattern layer 22, so as to avoid the gap between the second electrode 44 and the peripheral driving elements due to being too thin. There is an excessive resistance. In addition, the second spacer 40, the first spacer 24 and the metal pattern layer 22 are stacked between the first protective layer 18 and the retaining wall 38, and the second recess 44a is aligned with the first recess 18a, so that the first recess 18a There may be a gap H between the bottom of and the organic light emitting display element 30, which is between 5 microns and 30 microns, so that the gap H corresponding to the display opening 14a may be larger than the particle size in the air. Thereby, when the color filter substrate 27 and the array substrate 32 are combined, the particles will not protrude toward the OLED 46 , so that the OLED can be prevented from being damaged.
