Embodiment bis-
With reference to figure 7 and Fig. 8, the cover plate schematic top plan view of the organic light-emitting display device that Fig. 7 provides for embodiment bis-, Fig. 8 is that Fig. 7 cover plate is along the sectional view of BB ' direction.The organic light-emitting display device that embodiment bis-provides is on the basis of embodiment mono-, and the thickness of the conductive layer 310 of corresponding viewing area diverse location is different, and varied in thickness trend is relevant with the position of negative electrode via hole.
In Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, illustrated negative electrode via hole in viewing area situation all around, in Fig. 7, region shown in region 350 is negative electrode via hole corresponding region, concrete, when array base palte and cover plate are oppositely arranged, negative electrode via area in the 350 corresponding array base paltes of negative electrode via hole corresponding region is negative electrode via area view field on the cover board.
The varied in thickness rule of conductive layer 310 has been shown in Fig. 8, is negative electrode via hole corresponding region 350 in the peripheral regions of substrate 300, the negative electrode via area on corresponding array base palte.Described conductive layer 310, is less than the thickness away from 350 places, negative electrode via hole corresponding region at the thickness that approaches 350 places, negative electrode via hole corresponding region.Apart from negative electrode via hole corresponding region 350 more nearby, thickness is thinner for conductive layer 310.When cover plate and array base palte bonding after, also can think described conductive layer 310, at the thickness that approaches negative electrode via area place, be less than the thickness away from negative electrode via area place.
Although the conductive layer 310 of diverse location has different thickness, because the pixel defining layer on array base palte has certain elasticity, can guarantee that conductive layer 310 and negative electrode on array base palte have effectively electrically contacts, but due to the thick restriction of display unit box, conductive layer 310 is unsuitable blocked up, so the maximum of the thickness of conductive layer 310 2~3 times of minimum value preferably.Certainly, also can between substrate 300 and conductive layer 310, arrange and there is certain thickness insulator spacer, such as organic film etc., to make up the thickness difference between the conductive layer 310 of diverse location, guarantee that conductive layer 310 and negative electrode on array base palte have better to electrically contact.
When negative electrode via hole is arranged on the both sides of viewing area or a side or one jiao, the varied in thickness of conductive layer 310 is followed following rule equally: conductive layer 310 apart from the position of negative electrode via hole more nearby, the thickness of conductive layer 310 is thinner, apart from the position of negative electrode via hole more at a distance, its thickness is thicker for conductive layer 310.
Alternatively, described conductive layer can be for netted, or a plurality of strip, or a plurality of sheet.
Because organic illuminating element is far away apart from negative electrode via hole, the cathode layer series resistance of flowing through when negative electrode drives signal input is more, therefore the distance of organic illuminating element and negative electrode via hole is far away, and its received negative electrode drives the loss of voltage of signal also more, and its light intensity of sending is also more weak.In the present embodiment, at conductive layer 310 apart from negative electrode via hole more at a distance, its thickness is set thinner, less resistance is incorporated in the resistance that the organic illuminating element far away apart from negative electrode via hole is corresponding, resistance value can be reduced to a greater degree, thereby the light-intensity difference between further minimizing and other organic illuminating element that is to say, less resistance is larger to the compensating action of the light intensity of organic illuminating element, can make to show that inhomogenous situation is better improved.

With reference to figure 9, the schematic top plan view of the cover plate of the organic light-emitting display device that Fig. 9 provides for the embodiment of the present invention three.The consistency of thickness of its conductive layer 410 of the organic light-emitting display device that embodiment tri-provides, but the density of setting of the conductive layer 410 of viewing area diverse location is done to change, on cover plate, conductive layer 410 is in the distribution density heterogeneity of viewing area, and variation tendency is relevant with the position of negative electrode via hole.
In Fig. 9, illustrated negative electrode via hole in viewing area situation all around, in Fig. 9, region 450 is negative electrode via hole corresponding region, concrete, when array base palte and cover plate are oppositely arranged, the negative electrode via area of negative electrode via hole corresponding region 450 corresponding array base paltes is negative electrode via area view fields on the cover board.Conductive layer 410 has hollow-out parts 411 and non-hollow-out parts 412, region on the corresponding array base palte of non-hollow-out parts 412 outside organic illuminating element, here said correspondence refers to, when array base palte and cover plate are oppositely arranged, in the direction of vertical substrate, the projection of non-hollow-out parts 412 on array base palte drops on the region outside organic illuminating element, can avoid like this conductive layer 410 to block the light that organic illuminating element sends, to improve light transmitance on the cover board.
In the present embodiment, the density of non-hollow-out parts 412 that approaches the conductive layer 410 at 450 places, negative electrode via hole corresponding region is less than the density away from the non-hollow-out parts 412 of the conductive layer 410 at 450 places, negative electrode via hole corresponding region.When cover plate and array base palte bonding after, also can think described conductive layer 410, in non-hollow-out parts 412 density that approach negative electrode via area place, be less than the density away from the non-hollow-out parts 412 at negative electrode via area place.
When negative electrode via hole is arranged on the both sides of viewing area or a side or one jiao, the variable density of the non-hollow-out parts 412 of conductive layer 410 is followed following rule equally: conductive layer 410 apart from the position of negative electrode via area more nearby, the density of the non-hollow-out parts 412 of conductive layer 410 is less, apart from the position of negative electrode via area more at a distance, the density of the non-hollow-out parts 412 of conductive layer 410 is larger for conductive layer 410.
Figure 10 is the cover plate schematic top plan view of the embodiment of the present invention three another kind of execution modes, show conductive layer 410 for the situation of a plurality of horizontal strips, the distribution density of the non-hollow-out parts 412 of the mid portion of viewing area is larger, laterally the conductive layer 410 of the strip density of arranging from centre to both sides reduces, and the distribution density of non-hollow-out parts 412 reduces gradually.
Alternatively, conductive layer can be also a plurality of longitudinal strips, or is a plurality of sheets.
Because organic illuminating element is far away apart from negative electrode via hole, the cathode layer series resistance of flowing through when negative electrode drives signal input is more, therefore the distance of organic illuminating element and negative electrode via hole is far away, and its received negative electrode drives the loss of voltage of signal also more, and its light intensity of sending is also more weak.In the present embodiment, conductive layer is set apart from the position of negative electrode via area more nearby, the density of the non-hollow-out parts of conductive layer is less, conductive layer apart from the position of negative electrode via area more at a distance, the density of the non-hollow-out parts of conductive layer is larger, less resistance is incorporated in the resistance that the organic illuminating element far away apart from negative electrode via hole is corresponding, resistance value can be reduced to a greater degree, thereby the light-intensity difference between further minimizing and other organic illuminating element, that is to say, less resistance is larger to the compensating action of the light intensity of organic illuminating element, can make to show that inhomogenous situation is better improved.
