Description

Manufacturing method of OLED device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a manufacturing method of an OLED device.
Background
An Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) belongs to a novel current type semiconductor Light Emitting device, and belongs to an autonomous Light Emitting technology by controlling the injection of current carriers of the device and compositely exciting an Organic material to emit Light for display. Compared with a passive light emitting Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), the OLED Display capable of emitting light autonomously has the advantages of fast response speed, high contrast, wide viewing angle, and the like, is easy to realize flexible Display, is generally seen in the industry, and is considered in the industry to be a mainstream product of the next generation Display technology.
The display principle of the Active-matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) and the LCD is basically the same, and the display is realized by controlling the on-off state of a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) of each sub-pixel. The difference between the two is that: the AMOLED display is that the current on the OLED is controlled by the TFT to change the light emitting brightness; the LCD display adjusts the transmittance of its backlight by controlling the voltage applied across the liquid crystal cell via the TFT. Compared with the two, the AMOLED display has higher requirements on the driving current capability of the TFT. The OLED is very sensitive to its driving current, and weak current variation affects its light emission intensity, so that the TFT driving transistor is required to continuously and stably supply the operating current. This puts stringent requirements on the stability of the AMOLED driver circuit, which also raises design goals for the AMOLED driver circuit.
At normal temperature, the resistance of a metal conductor is non-zero, and a certain voltage Drop is generated by the current passing through the conductor, which is called as a voltage Drop (IR Drop). The IR Drop on the metal wire results in a potential difference at different locations from the input end. In a large-area display panel, the IR Drop causes the current on the OLEDs at different positions to be different, which in turn causes the panel to emit non-uniform light and the image display quality to be good.
