Description

雷射轉印方法及使用彼之雷射轉印設備 Laser transfer method and use of the laser transfer device

本發明是有關有機EL面板,有機TFT,有機太陽電池等的機能性有機膜的製造方法。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a functional organic film such as an organic EL panel, an organic TFT, or an organic solar cell.

又,有關有機EL面板的製造裝置及有機EL面板製造方法,特別是有關高效率安定形成有機EL發光層的技術。 Further, the manufacturing apparatus of the organic EL panel and the method of manufacturing the organic EL panel are particularly related to techniques for forming an organic EL light-emitting layer with high efficiency and stability.

以往,包含有機EL面板的發光層之有機EL層的分色法是使用遮罩蒸鍍法。但,遮罩蒸鍍法是所使用的蒸鍍遮罩高價,且運用成本也高,因為使裝置基板與蒸鍍遮罩接觸,所以異物的影響大,製造良品率低。因此,製造成本變高,有機EL面板單價高。而且,蒸鍍遮罩製造技術及遮罩蒸鍍製程,對於有機EL面板的大型化.高精細化或工件大小擴大,也未能追上。 Conventionally, the color separation method of the organic EL layer including the light-emitting layer of the organic EL panel is a mask vapor deposition method. However, in the mask vapor deposition method, the vapor deposition mask used is expensive, and the operation cost is also high. Since the device substrate is brought into contact with the vapor deposition mask, the influence of foreign matter is large, and the manufacturing yield is low. Therefore, the manufacturing cost becomes high, and the unit price of the organic EL panel is high. Moreover, the vapor deposition mask manufacturing technology and the mask evaporation process are large-sized for the organic EL panel. High definition or enlarged workpiece size has not caught up.

為了解決該等的問題,有「白色光+彩色濾光片(CF)」法或色變換法、噴墨法或透印版印刷法等的溶液製程等未使用遮罩蒸鍍的方法被檢討。就使用「白色光+CF」法或色變換法、噴墨法或透印版印刷法等的塗佈製 程之有機EL面板而言,發光效率會降低,壽命也變短。因此,為了實現使用該等的技術之有機EL面板,必須等待發光效率高,且可達成長壽命的材料之開發。另外,所謂、「白色光+CF」法是先在全畫素形成白色光的有機EL層,按每個畫素每使用複數色的CF來形成彩色畫像者。 In order to solve such problems, a method such as a "white light + color filter (CF)" method, a color conversion method, an inkjet method, or a plate-printing method, etc., which is not used for mask vapor deposition, is reviewed. . Coating using a "white light + CF" method or a color conversion method, an inkjet method, or a through-printing method In the organic EL panel of Cheng, the luminous efficiency is reduced and the life is shortened. Therefore, in order to realize an organic EL panel using these technologies, it is necessary to wait for development of materials having high luminous efficiency and achieving a long life. In addition, the "white light + CF" method is an organic EL layer that first forms white light in a full pixel, and a color image is formed for each pixel using a plurality of CFs.

作為取代遮罩蒸鍍的分色法的別的手段,可舉雷射轉印法。雷射轉印法是可高精細對應,可對應於大面積基板。在專利文獻1是有藉由昇華法來使材料蒸鍍於有機EL面板的雷射轉印法被報告(LIPS、Laser Patternwise Sublimation)。並且,在專利文獻2是有藉由轉印薄板的熱膨脹來使有機材料轉印至有機EL面板的雷射轉印法被報告(LITI、Laser Induced Thermal Imaging)。 As another means of replacing the color separation method of the mask vapor deposition, a laser transfer method can be mentioned. The laser transfer method is high-definition and can correspond to a large-area substrate. Patent Document 1 discloses a laser transfer method in which a material is vapor-deposited on an organic EL panel by a sublimation method (LIPS, Laser Patternwise Sublimation). Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a laser transfer method in which an organic material is transferred to an organic EL panel by thermal expansion of a transfer sheet (LITI, Laser Induced Thermal Imaging).

在專利文獻3是揭示有:對施體基板(donor substrate)的既定的場所照射雷射光,以形成於施體基板上的吸收層來吸收雷射光,藉此使衝撃波產生,使施體基板上的發光材料剝離而使轉印至有機EL面板的無遮罩圖案化。 Patent Document 3 discloses that laser light is irradiated to a predetermined place of a donor substrate, and an absorption layer formed on the donor substrate absorbs laser light, thereby generating a punch wave, and applying the punch wave to the donor substrate. The luminescent material is peeled off to pattern the unmasked material transferred to the organic EL panel.

並且,有機EL(電致發光;Electro luminescence)元件是具有自發光性、高速反應及廣視野角等的良好性能。藉由該等的良好性能,近年來,有機EL元件作為表現高畫質的動影像的顯示器面板用的裝置已被開發。有機EL元件是在陰極與陽極之間具有層疊有機電洞輸送層、有機電子輸送層、有機發光層等的多層構造。 Further, the organic EL (Electroluminescence) element has excellent properties such as self-luminescence, high-speed reaction, and wide viewing angle. In recent years, organic EL devices have been developed as devices for display panels that exhibit high-quality moving images. The organic EL element has a multilayer structure in which a laminated organic hole transport layer, an organic electron transport layer, an organic light-emitting layer, or the like is provided between a cathode and an anode.

成為有機EL顯示裝置的發光層等之薄的有機EL膜 的成膜方法,一般是使用遮罩蒸鍍法。所謂遮罩蒸鍍法是以圖案狀地形成有開口部的蒸鍍遮罩來覆蓋基板,通過開口部來蒸鍍有機物質,在基板上形成有機EL膜的方法。由於有機EL顯示裝置是畫素的精細度高,因此蒸鍍遮罩的開口非常小。遮罩蒸鍍法是在覆蓋基板的遮罩上也堆積有機EL膜,由於開口徑變化,所以蒸鍍遮罩的定期性的更換、洗淨、或維修為必要,有生產性降低的課題。 Thin organic EL film which becomes a light-emitting layer of an organic EL display device The film forming method is generally a mask evaporation method. The mask vapor deposition method is a method in which a vapor deposition mask having an opening is formed in a pattern to cover a substrate, and an organic substance is vapor-deposited through the opening to form an organic EL film on the substrate. Since the organic EL display device is high in the fineness of the pixels, the opening of the vapor deposition mask is very small. In the mask vapor deposition method, the organic EL film is deposited on the mask covering the substrate, and the opening diameter is changed. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically replace, clean, or repair the vapor deposition mask, and there is a problem that productivity is lowered.

並且,因為遮罩蒸鍍法是接受來自蒸發源的熱輻射,遮罩本身會熱膨脹,所以無法確保主基板的周邊部的遮罩開口位置與電路基板上的既定蒸鍍位址的對位精度,成為阻礙對應於主基板大型化、面板高精細化的要因。 Further, since the mask vapor deposition method receives heat radiation from the evaporation source, the mask itself thermally expands, so that the alignment accuracy of the mask opening position of the peripheral portion of the main substrate and the predetermined vapor deposition address on the circuit board cannot be ensured. This is a factor that hinders the enlargement of the main substrate and the high definition of the panel.

為了解決該等的問題,使預先蒸鍍有機層的施體基板與形成元件的元件基板緊貼或接近,對施體基板照射雷射束,藉此使有機EL層昇華或剝離,往元件基板轉印的無遮罩轉印方式被提倡。 In order to solve such problems, the donor substrate on which the organic layer is vapor-deposited is brought into close contact with or close to the element substrate on which the element is formed, and the donor substrate is irradiated with a laser beam, thereby sublimating or peeling off the organic EL layer to the element substrate. The transfer-free maskless transfer method is advocated.

在預先形成有機層的施體基板上照射雷射,將有機層轉印至電路基板上的所望區域的方式,在專利文獻4)是揭示有:對於在玻璃基板全面塗佈發光材料的施體基板照射雷射,藉此使發光材料昇華,在對向設置的裝置基板上形成有機EL層之技術。並且,在專利文獻5是揭示有:使塗佈發光材料的施體薄膜緊貼於裝置基板,將發光層熱轉印至既定的場所之方式。 A method of irradiating a laser on a donor substrate on which an organic layer is formed in advance and transferring the organic layer to a desired region on a circuit board is disclosed in Patent Document 4): a coating body for completely coating a luminescent material on a glass substrate The substrate is irradiated with a laser to sublimate the luminescent material, and a technique of forming an organic EL layer on the oppositely disposed device substrate. Further, Patent Document 5 discloses a method in which a donor film coated with a light-emitting material is adhered to a device substrate, and the light-emitting layer is thermally transferred to a predetermined place.

專利文獻1所示的LIPS法是對於在玻璃基板全面形成發光材料的施體基板照射雷射,藉此使發光材料昇華,在對向設置的裝置基板上形成有機EL層。藉由對成膜部分選擇性地照射雷射來實現無遮罩圖案化。就此方法而言,因為1層1層蒸鍍,所以容易因昇華用的蓄熱層的溫度上昇而受蒸鍍環境的影響。因此,工程數變長,膜質劣化也容易產生。並且,就LIPS法而言,原理上只能一次圖案化1層,有隨著分離形成的層數增加,而轉印的工程數增加的缺點。又,由於將雷射能量予以熱變換來利用,所以會因為轉印環境溫度上昇而產生雜質混入等,擔憂有機EL元件的特性劣化。 In the LIPS method disclosed in Patent Document 1, a donor substrate on which a luminescent material is entirely formed on a glass substrate is irradiated with a laser, whereby the luminescent material is sublimated, and an organic EL layer is formed on the oppositely disposed device substrate. Maskless patterning is achieved by selectively illuminating the film forming portion with a laser. In this method, since one layer and one layer are vapor-deposited, it is easy to be affected by the vapor deposition environment due to an increase in the temperature of the heat storage layer for sublimation. Therefore, the number of engineering becomes long, and deterioration of film quality is also likely to occur. Further, in the case of the LIPS method, in principle, only one layer can be patterned at a time, and there is a disadvantage that the number of layers formed by separation increases and the number of engineering transferred increases. In addition, since the laser energy is used for thermal conversion, the impurities are mixed due to an increase in the temperature of the transfer environment, and the characteristics of the organic EL element are deteriorated.

又,專利文獻2所示的LITI法是使形成發光材料的施體薄膜緊貼於裝置,在既定的場所照射雷射,藉此實現無遮罩圖案化。LITI法基本上是熱轉印法,可複數層的轉印。但,需要附加壓力、溫度,一旦層數增加,厚膜化, 則擔憂膜質劣化。因此,即使是LITI法,實際上也為1~2層,所以當層數增加時,需要重複轉印,或與蒸鍍法併用。並且,一旦異物存在,則會在予以夾持的狀態下施加壓力,因此缺陷會增加。 Further, in the LITI method disclosed in Patent Document 2, the donor film forming the luminescent material is brought into close contact with the device, and the laser is irradiated at a predetermined place, thereby achieving maskless patterning. The LITI method is basically a thermal transfer method, which can transfer a plurality of layers. However, additional pressure and temperature are required, and once the number of layers is increased, the film is thickened. Then there is concern about deterioration of the film quality. Therefore, even in the case of the LITI method, it is actually 1 to 2 layers, so when the number of layers is increased, it is necessary to repeat the transfer or use it in combination with the vapor deposition method. Further, when foreign matter is present, pressure is applied in a state of being clamped, so that defects are increased.

又,專利文獻3中未揭示用以使衝撃波產生的具體的雷射照射方法,可想像是利用與LIPS法同樣的昇華之發光材料的蒸鍍,具有與LIPS法同樣的課題。 Further, Patent Document 3 does not disclose a specific laser irradiation method for generating a smash wave, and it is conceivable that vapor deposition using a sublimation luminescent material similar to the LIPS method has the same problem as the LIPS method.

在專利文獻4是揭示有:對於在玻璃基板全面塗佈發光材料的施體基板照射雷射,藉此使發光材料昇華,在對向設置的裝置基板上形成有機EL層之技術。然而,將雷射能量變換成熱,發光材料充分地加熱至昇華的溫度,因此轉印環境的溫度上昇所造成的雜質混入等容易發生,會有有機EL元件特性容易劣化的問題。 Patent Document 4 discloses a technique in which a donor substrate on which a luminescent material is entirely coated on a glass substrate is irradiated with a laser to sublimate the luminescent material, and an organic EL layer is formed on the oppositely disposed device substrate. However, since the laser energy is converted into heat and the luminescent material is sufficiently heated to the sublimation temperature, impurities or the like caused by an increase in the temperature of the transfer environment are likely to occur, and the organic EL element characteristics are likely to be deteriorated.

在專利文獻5是揭示有:使塗佈發光材料的施體薄膜緊貼於裝置基板,將發光層熱轉印至既定的場所之方式。但,因為使裝置基板與施體薄膜緊貼,所以一旦異物存在,則會在予以夾持的狀態下施加壓力,因此在形成裝置時會有異物引起的黑點缺陷增加的問題。 Patent Document 5 discloses a method in which a donor film coated with a light-emitting material is adhered to a device substrate, and the light-emitting layer is thermally transferred to a predetermined place. However, since the device substrate and the donor film are brought into close contact with each other, when foreign matter is present, pressure is applied in a state where the foreign matter is present. Therefore, there is a problem that black spot defects due to foreign matter increase when the device is formed.

本發明的課題是克服以上那樣的問題點,不使用蒸鍍遮罩,良品率佳地形成含發光層的複數個有機膜層。 An object of the present invention is to overcome the above problems, and to form a plurality of organic film layers including a light-emitting layer without using a vapor deposition mask.

本發明的第2目的是在於解決上述以往技術的課題,提供一種在雷射轉印製程中不會隨溫度上昇產生元件發光特性的劣化或異物混入造成的黑點缺陷之雷射轉印方法或轉印裝置。 A second object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and to provide a laser transfer method in which a black spot defect caused by deterioration of a light-emitting property of a device or a foreign matter does not occur due to an increase in temperature during a laser transfer process or Transfer device.

The predetermined area of the other main surface of the donor substrate overlaps with a predetermined number of times over a predetermined period of time. The organic EL film is peeled off from the donor substrate and transferred onto the opposite circuit substrate.

本發明是將形成於金屬施體薄板上的薄膜轉印至與金屬施體薄板對向的基板之轉印方法,在一定的方向掃描複數的脈衝雷射光列,而照射至金屬施體薄板背面,以第2脈衝光的至少一部分會重疊於照射第1脈衝光的部分之方式照射掃描第2脈衝光,藉此可不使用蒸鍍遮罩來形成有機膜層,因此有機膜面板的大型化、高精細化成為可能。 The present invention is a method for transferring a film formed on a metal donor sheet to a substrate opposite to a metal donor sheet, scanning a plurality of pulsed laser beams in a certain direction, and irradiating the back surface of the metal donor sheet By scanning the second pulsed light so that at least a part of the second pulsed light is superimposed on the portion irradiated with the first pulsed light, the organic film layer can be formed without using the vapor deposition mask, and therefore the organic film panel is enlarged.

在本說明書中是將在具有TFT等的驅動電路的驅動電路基板上形成由有機EL元件所構成的發光元件之基板稱為有機EL基板,將密封有機EL基板者稱為有機EL面板。 In the present specification, a substrate in which a light-emitting element composed of an organic EL element is formed on a drive circuit board having a drive circuit such as a TFT is referred to as an organic EL substrate, and a sealed organic EL substrate is referred to as an organic EL panel.

[實施例1] [Example 1]

首先,針對在有機EL基板上形成被圖案化的有機膜之有機EL面板的製造方法來說明本發明的雷射轉印方法。圖1是實施例1的有機EL基板的剖面圖。在圖1中,100是表示有機EL基板。101是在玻璃基板上形成具有TFT(薄膜電晶體)等的驅動電路之驅動電路基板,102是設在驅動電路基板101上之聚醯亞胺等所構成的平坦化層,103是由成為有機EL元件的下部電極的導電性薄膜所構成的第1電極,104是覆蓋第1電極端部的絕緣堤部(bank),105~107是構成有機EL元件的有機膜,108是成為上部電極的第2電極。109是表示設在驅動電路基板101上之上述的有機EL元件形成部。有機EL基板100是由驅動電路基板101及形成於其上的有機EL元件形成部109所形成。 First, the laser transfer method of the present invention will be described with respect to a method of manufacturing an organic EL panel in which a patterned organic film is formed on an organic EL substrate. Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an organic EL substrate of Example 1. In Fig. 1, 100 denotes an organic EL substrate. 101 is a drive circuit substrate on which a drive circuit such as a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) is formed on a glass substrate, 102 is a planarization layer made of polyimide or the like provided on the drive circuit substrate 101, and 103 is made organic. The first electrode 104 made of a conductive thin film of the lower electrode of the EL element is an insulating bank covering the end of the first electrode, 105 to 107 are organic films constituting the organic EL element, and 108 is an upper electrode. The second electrode. 109 is the above-described organic EL element forming portion provided on the drive circuit substrate 101. The organic EL substrate 100 is formed of a drive circuit substrate 101 and an organic EL element forming portion 109 formed thereon.

從驅動電路基板101側取出發光後的光之底部發光型 (Bottom Emission)元件時,第1電極103是藉由ITO、IZO、ZnO等的透明導電膜所形成,第2電極108是藉由Al等的反射性金屬膜所構成。另一方面,從驅動電路基板101的相反側取出發光後的光之頂部發光型(Top Emission)元件時,第1電極103是使用Al等的反射性金屬膜。有時第1電極103的表面是藉由ITO等的透明膜所被覆。第2電極108是使用ITO、IZO、ZnO等的透明導電膜,或薄薄形成的Ag等金屬膜的半透明膜。有時第2電極108是設為透明導電膜及金屬膜的層疊膜。 The bottom emission type of the light after the light is taken out from the side of the drive circuit substrate 101 In the case of the Bottom Emission element, the first electrode 103 is formed of a transparent conductive film such as ITO, IZO, or ZnO, and the second electrode 108 is formed of a reflective metal film such as Al. On the other hand, when the top emission element of the light emitted from the opposite side of the drive circuit board 101 is taken out, the first electrode 103 is made of a reflective metal film of Al or the like. The surface of the first electrode 103 may be covered with a transparent film such as ITO. The second electrode 108 is a semitransparent film using a transparent conductive film such as ITO, IZO, or ZnO, or a thin metal film such as Ag. The second electrode 108 is a laminated film of a transparent conductive film and a metal film.

在圖1所示的有機EL基板100中,有機膜105及有機膜107是作為紅色發光元件106R、綠色發光元件106G、藍色發光元件106B的共通層之機能。當第1電極103側為陽極時,有機膜105是成為電洞輸送層(包含電洞注入層,電子阻止層),有機膜107是成為電子輸送層(包含電子注入層,電洞阻止層)。相反的,當第2電極106側為陽極時,有機膜107為電洞輸送層,有機膜105是成為電子輸送層。 In the organic EL substrate 100 shown in FIG. 1, the organic film 105 and the organic film 107 function as a common layer of the red light-emitting element 106R, the green light-emitting element 106G, and the blue light-emitting element 106B. When the first electrode 103 side is an anode, the organic film 105 serves as a hole transport layer (including a hole injection layer and an electron blocking layer), and the organic film 107 serves as an electron transport layer (including an electron injection layer and a hole blocking layer). . On the contrary, when the second electrode 106 side is an anode, the organic film 107 is a hole transport layer, and the organic film 105 is an electron transport layer.

有機膜106是包含發光層的有機膜,按發光色來分離圖案成紅色發光元件106R、綠色發光元件106G、藍色發光元件106B。在有機膜106中含有電洞阻止層或電子阻止層,在使有機EL元件具有干涉效果時,含有電洞輸送層、電子輸送層。將本發明適用於此有機膜106的成膜。 The organic film 106 is an organic film including a light-emitting layer, and is separated into a red light-emitting element 106R, a green light-emitting element 106G, and a blue light-emitting element 106B in accordance with the light-emitting color. The organic film 106 contains a hole blocking layer or an electron blocking layer, and when the organic EL element has an interference effect, it includes a hole transporting layer and an electron transporting layer. The present invention is applied to the film formation of this organic film 106.

有機膜106的發光層是也有僅2個發光色被圖案分離的情況。該情況是有機膜105或有機膜107具有作為剩下 的發光色的發光層之機能。由於有機膜105、有機膜107的能帶隙(Band gap)廣,因此作為未被圖案分離的發光層的發光色最好是藍色發光。 The light-emitting layer of the organic film 106 is also in a case where only two light-emitting colors are separated by a pattern. In this case, the organic film 105 or the organic film 107 has the remaining The function of the luminescent color of the luminescent layer. Since the organic film 105 and the organic film 107 have a wide band gap, it is preferable that the luminescent color of the light-emitting layer that is not separated by the pattern is blue light.

在圖2顯示本發明之一實施形態的有機EL基板的製造方法的工程流程圖。在步驟(a)中,顯示由金屬箔所構成支撐基板20。如後述般,對支撐基板照射雷射光,吸收雷射光的脈衝能量。同金屬箔的材質是可舉沃斯田鐵系不鏽鋼、麻田散鐵系不鏽鋼、Ni、Fe-Ni合金等,但並非限於此。 Fig. 2 is a flow chart showing the construction of a method of manufacturing an organic EL substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the step (a), the support substrate 20 composed of a metal foil is shown. As will be described later, the support substrate is irradiated with laser light to absorb the pulse energy of the laser light. The material of the metal foil may be, for example, Worth Iron-based stainless steel, 麻田散铁-based stainless steel, Ni, or Fe-Ni alloy, but is not limited thereto.

在步驟(b)中,藉由在支撐基板20上形成第1有機膜21來形成施體基板220。第1有機膜21是由至少包含106R、106G、106B的任一發光層的1層以上的有機膜所構成的平(未被圖案化)的有機膜。亦可在第1有機膜21含有電洞輸送層或電子阻止層。又,亦可在第1有機膜21含有電子輸送層或電洞輸送層。第1有機膜21的形成方法是可舉周知的真空蒸鍍法、印刷法、旋轉塗佈法,但並非限於此。 In the step (b), the donor substrate 220 is formed by forming the first organic film 21 on the support substrate 20. The first organic film 21 is a flat (unpatterned) organic film composed of one or more organic films including at least one of the light-emitting layers of 106R, 106G, and 106B. The first organic film 21 may contain a hole transport layer or an electron blocking layer. Further, the first organic film 21 may include an electron transport layer or a hole transport layer. The method of forming the first organic film 21 is a vacuum vapor deposition method, a printing method, or a spin coating method, but is not limited thereto.

在步驟(c)中,使設置由平坦化層102、第1電極103及共通層的有機膜104所構成的有機EL元件形成部110的驅動電路基板101與在步驟(b)所示的工程形成的施體基板220對向來安裝於成膜室(轉印室)200內。驅動電路基板101與施體基板220是亦可使接觸,或不使接觸地設置間隙。其次,進行真空排氣至100Pa以下的壓力為止,製作將設於施體基板220的第1有機膜21轉送 至驅動電路基板101的環境。此環境為了容易間隙控制,抑制殘留氣體的影響,而設為100Pa以下的真空度。間隙是最好100μm以下。特別是最好為不接觸的10μm以上100μm以下。100Pa的平均自由工程是約100μm,在上述間隙是被轉印的分子幾乎不會有與殘留氣體衝突的情形,因此殘留氣體進入所被轉印的膜的情形會被減低,可保持轉印膜的膜質的高品質。並且,在比100Pa高真空狀態,即使將間隙形成100μm以上,還是可保持轉印膜的膜質的高品質。另外,薄膜片的轉送環境是亦可為大氣壓,但需要顯著地弄窄驅動電路基板101與施體基板220的間隙,必須注意殘留氣體對轉送的影響。 In the step (c), the drive circuit substrate 101 of the organic EL element forming portion 110 including the planarization layer 102, the first electrode 103, and the organic layer 104 of the common layer is provided in the step (b). The formed donor substrate 220 is oppositely mounted in the film forming chamber (transfer chamber) 200. The drive circuit substrate 101 and the donor substrate 220 may be in contact with each other or may be provided with no gap. Next, vacuum evacuation is performed to a pressure of 100 Pa or less, and the first organic film 21 provided on the donor substrate 220 is transferred. The environment to the drive circuit substrate 101. This environment is set to a vacuum degree of 100 Pa or less in order to facilitate the gap control and suppress the influence of the residual gas. The gap is preferably 100 μm or less. In particular, it is preferably 10 μm or more and 100 μm or less which are not in contact. The average free work of 100 Pa is about 100 μm, and in the above gap, the transferred molecules hardly collide with the residual gas, so that the residual gas enters the film to be transferred, the transfer film can be kept. The membranous quality is high. Further, in a vacuum state higher than 100 Pa, even if the gap is formed to be 100 μm or more, the film quality of the transfer film can be maintained high. Further, the transfer environment of the film sheet may be atmospheric pressure, but it is necessary to significantly narrow the gap between the drive circuit substrate 101 and the donor substrate 220, and attention must be paid to the influence of residual gas on transfer.

在步驟(d)中,在支撐基板20的既定的場所(與形成驅動電路基板101的發光元件圖案的場所對面的施體基板220的場所),由背面側來照射雷射光La(例如Nd:YAG雷射的第2高次諧波,波長:532nm),在支撐基板20內引起衝撃波。雷射光La的照射場所是亦可藉由電腦控制的地點指定來進行,或利用設有對應於發光部圖案的開口部之遮光遮罩。在步驟(e)中,在支撐基板20的既定的位置照射複數的脈衝雷射光La。脈衝光是激發支撐基板之金屬箔的電子。該電子是藉由無放射遷移來激發格子振動,使支撐基板的物體溫度上昇。藉此,在支撐基板產生熱膨脹所造成的彈性變形,彈性波會傳播於支撐基板內部。起先被照射的第1脈衝雷射光La1是被金屬箔的支撐基板吸收變換成熱。被變換的熱是在經過時間t-t1擴散 於以式(1)所示的熱擴散長L定義的區域。 In the step (d), the laser beam La is irradiated from the back side at a predetermined place of the support substrate 20 (the place where the donor substrate 220 is opposite to the place where the light-emitting element pattern of the drive circuit substrate 101 is formed) (for example, Nd: The second harmonic of the YAG laser, wavelength: 532 nm) causes a pulsation wave in the support substrate 20. The irradiation place of the laser light La may be performed by a computer-controlled location designation or by using a light-shielding mask provided with an opening corresponding to the light-emitting portion pattern. In the step (e), a plurality of pulsed laser lights La are irradiated at a predetermined position of the support substrate 20. The pulsed light is an electron that excites a metal foil supporting the substrate. The electrons excite the lattice vibration by radiation migration to raise the temperature of the object supporting the substrate. Thereby, the support substrate is elastically deformed by thermal expansion, and the elastic wave propagates inside the support substrate. The first pulsed laser light La1 that is initially irradiated is absorbed and converted into heat by the support substrate of the metal foil. The heat that is transformed is diffused over time t-t1 The region defined by the heat diffusion length L shown by the formula (1).

熱擴散長L=2×[熱擴散率α×(t-t1)]1/2....(1) Thermal diffusion length L = 2 × [thermal diffusivity α × (t-t1)] 1/2. . . . (1)

如式(1)所示般,熱擴散長是成為熱擴散率與被照射脈衝雷射光La1起經過時間t-t1的乘積的平方根的2倍。熱擴散率是支撐基板的材質的金屬箔固有的物性值,藉由雷射閃光法來測定。 As shown in the formula (1), the thermal diffusion length is twice the square root of the product of the thermal diffusivity and the elapsed time t-t1 from the pulsed laser light La1. The thermal diffusivity is a physical property value inherent to the metal foil of the material of the support substrate, and is measured by a laser flash method.

在步驟(f)中,朝驅動電路基板101飛出的薄膜片是移動於施體基板220與驅動電路基板101之間的空間,到達驅動電路基板101而附著。藉此,如步驟(g)所示般,在驅動電路基板101的有機EL元件部110上形成由第1有機膜21所構成的薄膜圖案23。此薄膜圖案24會成為包含圖1所示的發光層之有機膜106。 In the step (f), the film sheet flying toward the drive circuit board 101 is moved in a space between the donor substrate 220 and the drive circuit board 101, and reaches the drive circuit board 101 to be attached. Thereby, as shown in the step (g), the thin film pattern 23 composed of the first organic film 21 is formed on the organic EL element portion 110 of the drive circuit substrate 101. This thin film pattern 24 becomes an organic film 106 including the light-emitting layer shown in FIG.

藉由重複在以上的步驟(a)~步驟(f)所示的工程,可按發光的色別將包含發光層的有機膜106予以圖案分離成106R、106G、106B。 By repeating the processes shown in the above steps (a) to (f), the organic film 106 including the light-emitting layer can be patterned into 106R, 106G, and 106B in terms of light emission.

上述的工程,在步驟(d)中,雷射是使用具有重複頻率的脈衝雷射。脈衝雷射是可舉Nd:YAG雷射、Nd:YVO4、Nd:YLF雷射、鈦藍寶石雷射,但並非限於此。雷射光La的波長是選擇被支撐層20的材質吸收的光的波長。具體而言,成為UV光、可視光、紅外線區域及寬廣的波長區域。 In the above project, in step (d), the laser is a pulsed laser having a repetition frequency. The pulsed laser is a Nd:YAG laser, a Nd:YVO 4 , a Nd:YLF laser, or a titanium sapphire laser, but is not limited thereto. The wavelength of the laser light La is a wavelength at which light absorbed by the material of the support layer 20 is selected. Specifically, it is a UV light, a visible light, an infrared ray region, and a wide wavelength region.

圖3是表示脈衝雷射光列的時間變化的圖表。 Fig. 3 is a graph showing temporal changes in a pulsed laser light train.

在經過時間t=t1,第1脈衝光31會被照射。其次,在t=t2、t3,第2脈衝光32、第3脈衝光33會被照射。重複使用脈衝雷射時,各脈衝光所被照射的經過時間的間隔是相等,為△t0。並且,最好各脈衝光的脈衝寬是0.1~10ns的範圍。 At the elapse of time t=t1, the first pulsed light 31 is irradiated. Next, at t=t2 and t3, the second pulse light 32 and the third pulse light 33 are irradiated. When the pulse laser is repeatedly used, the elapsed time interval at which each pulse light is irradiated is equal, which is Δt0. Further, it is preferable that the pulse width of each pulse light is in the range of 0.1 to 10 ns.

而且,在步驟(e)的工程中,圖4是表示被照射第2脈衝雷射光為止的熱擴散區域的模式圖。圖4是假設被照射第2脈衝光的經過時間t=t2-t1的熱擴散長L2要比支撐基板的板厚d大。φ是被集光的脈衝雷射光的直徑。在圖4中,擴散後的熱是至t=t2為止到達至支撐基板的雷射光入射面的相反側的面,因此熱會擴散於直徑φ+2L2,高度d的圓柱41內。當L2小於d時,圓柱是成為直徑φ+2L2,高度L2。若將圓柱41的體積設為Va,則同圓柱41內的溫度上昇△T是以式(2)來表示。 Further, in the process of the step (e), FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing a heat diffusion region until the second pulsed laser beam is irradiated. 4 is assuming that the thermal diffusion length L2 of the elapsed time t=t2-t1 of the second pulsed light is larger than the thickness d of the support substrate. φ is the diameter of the pulsed laser light that is collected. In FIG. 4, the heat after the diffusion reaches the surface on the opposite side to the laser light incident surface of the support substrate until t=t2, so the heat is diffused into the cylinder 41 having the diameter φ+2L2 and the height d. When L2 is smaller than d, the cylinder becomes the diameter φ+2L2 and the height L2. When the volume of the cylinder 41 is Va, the temperature rise ΔT in the same cylinder 41 is expressed by the formula (2).

△T=Ep/(Va×ρ×σ)....(2) △ T = Ep / (Va × ρ × σ). . . . (2)

在此,Ep是第1脈衝雷射光31的脈衝能量,ρ是支撐基板20的密度,σ是支撐基板20的比熱。因此,形成有機膜的支撐基板的表面的溫度是以T0+△T來表示。選擇脈衝雷射光列、支撐基板20的條件,而使此溫度能夠符合比有機膜的蒸鍍溫度TEV低那樣的條件之式(3)。 Here, Ep is the pulse energy of the first pulsed laser light 31, ρ is the density of the support substrate 20, and σ is the specific heat of the support substrate 20. Therefore, the temperature of the surface of the support substrate on which the organic film is formed is represented by T0 + ΔT. The condition of the pulsed laser beam and the support substrate 20 is selected so that the temperature can conform to the condition (3) which is lower than the vapor deposition temperature TEV of the organic film.

T0+△T<TEV....(3) T0+△T<TEV. . . . (3)

例如,藉由縮小雷射光的Ep來縮小△T。或,拉長t=t1~t2的時間間隔,亦即降低雷射光的重複頻率1/(△t0)來縮小△T。或,增厚支撐基板的板厚d來縮小 △T。 For example, ΔT is reduced by reducing the Ep of the laser light. Or, the time interval of t=t1~t2 is elongated, that is, the repetition frequency 1/(Δt0) of the laser light is reduced to reduce ΔT. Or, thicken the thickness d of the support substrate to reduce △T.

蒸鍍溫度TEV是被定義為固體材料藉由加熱來氣化的溫度或經溶融而氣化的溫度。具體而言,被定義為真空下的飽和蒸氣壓成為0.1Pa的溫度。飽和蒸氣壓是在真空下由材料的熱重量變化測定來算出。 The vapor deposition temperature TEV is defined as the temperature at which the solid material is vaporized by heating or the temperature at which it is vaporized by melting. Specifically, it is defined as a temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure under vacuum becomes 0.1 Pa. The saturated vapor pressure is calculated from the change in the thermogravimetric change of the material under vacuum.

被照射第1脈衝雷射光31之後在同位置照射第2脈衝雷射光32、第3脈衝雷射光33。藉此,傳播於支撐基板內部的衝撃波會被引起,藉由產生的衝撃波,被層疊於該場所的第1有機膜21會剝離。第1有機膜21剝離而形成的薄片22是由產生的衝撃波來取得能量而朝驅動電路基板101飛出。 After the first pulsed laser light 31 is irradiated, the second pulse laser light 32 and the third pulse laser light 33 are irradiated at the same position. Thereby, the pulsation wave propagating inside the support substrate is caused, and the first organic film 21 laminated on the place is peeled off by the generated blast wave. The sheet 22 formed by peeling off the first organic film 21 is made to generate energy by the generated wave, and flies out toward the drive circuit board 101.

其次,圖5是表示將脈衝雷射光列予以照射掃描的方法的模式圖。對形成有有機膜21的支撐基板20照射第1脈衝雷射光51。照射第1脈衝雷射光之後△t0後,照射第2脈衝雷射光52。此時,第2脈衝雷射光的照射位置是以能夠與照射第1脈衝雷射光的位置部分重疊的方式掃描。最好重疊的區域是脈衝射束的一半以上的面積重疊那樣的掃描條件。同條件,掃描區域是最低照射2次的脈衝。如此一來,與重複照射於同位置時同樣,傳播於支撐基板內部的衝撃波會被引起,藉由產生的衝撃波,被重疊於該場所的第1有機膜21會剝離。第1有機膜21剝離而形成的薄片22是由產生的衝撃波來取得能量而朝驅動電路基板101飛出。 Next, Fig. 5 is a schematic view showing a method of irradiating a pulsed laser beam by scanning. The first pulsed laser light 51 is irradiated onto the support substrate 20 on which the organic film 21 is formed. After illuminating the first pulse of the laser light, Δt0, the second pulsed laser light 52 is irradiated. At this time, the irradiation position of the second pulsed laser light is scanned so as to be partially overlapped with the position at which the first pulsed laser light is irradiated. Preferably, the overlapping regions are scanning conditions in which the area of more than half of the pulse beam overlaps. Under the same conditions, the scanning area is the pulse with the lowest illumination 2 times. As described above, similarly to the repeated irradiation of the same position, the pulsation wave propagating inside the support substrate is caused, and the first organic film 21 which is superposed on the place is peeled off by the generated blast wave. The sheet 22 formed by peeling off the first organic film 21 is made to generate energy by the generated wave, and flies out toward the drive circuit board 101.

(1)不須使用微細化.大型化困難的金屬遮罩(蒸鍍遮罩)。又,由於是不使用金屬遮罩的有機膜形成,所以異物的影響或對蒸鍍遮罩的接觸所造成的損傷等也可抑制。 (1) No need to use micro-finishing. A metal mask (evaporation mask) that is difficult to enlarge. Further, since it is formed of an organic film that does not use a metal mask, the influence of foreign matter or damage to the contact of the vapor deposition mask can be suppressed.

(2)由於對包含分離形成所必要的發光層之有機膜的成膜限制少,因此有機膜的高品質化成為可能。亦即,有助於發光效率提升及長壽命化。 (2) Since the film formation restriction of the organic film containing the light-emitting layer necessary for separation formation is small, it is possible to improve the quality of the organic film. That is, it contributes to an improvement in luminous efficiency and a long life.

(3)一邊維持施體基板上所形成的第1有機膜的層構成,一邊形成有機膜圖案。由於對薄膜層往施體基板的形成是無限制,因此可不使工程數增加地製作使用各種膜的層疊構造。 (3) An organic film pattern is formed while maintaining the layer configuration of the first organic film formed on the donor substrate.

For the thin metal plate 61 which generates the punching wave, a thick metal thin plate 60 is partially formed in a portion where the laser beam is not irradiated. Thereby, since the peeling of the organic film is determined by the thin metal plate 60, a beautiful pattern transfer of the end face is performed.

其次,圖7是表示具有實施例1的2層構造之金屬施體薄板的製造方法的剖面圖。在圖7中,支撐基板是以2種類的金屬薄板70、71所構成。使衝撃波產生的金屬薄板71相較於位在雷射照射面側的金屬薄板70,板厚薄,熱擴散率低。因此,產生的衝撃波的頻率低,轉印能量 強,更低的雷射功率的轉印可能。 Next, Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a method of manufacturing a metal-coated thin plate having the two-layer structure of the first embodiment. In FIG. 7, the support substrate is composed of two types of metal thin plates 70 and 71. The thin metal plate 71 generated by the punching wave is thinner than the thin metal plate 70 positioned on the side of the laser irradiation surface, and has a low thermal diffusivity. Therefore, the frequency of the generated wave is low, and the transfer energy Strong, lower laser power transfer possible.

Therefore, the sub-pixels of the upper and lower colors of a certain pixel are only half of the length of the short side direction of the sub-pixel. In this arrangement, the scanning direction of the laser transfer is an oblique direction in which the sub-pixels of the respective colors are arranged, but since the sub-pixels are separated, it is preferable to move the length direction of the sub-pixels on the short side. Move in the direction and move to the next The scanning method of the length direction of the sub-pixel.

雷射振盪器1是使用產生紫外或可視波長的脈衝雷射光者,特別是由輸出的大小、輸出的安定性等來看,雷射 二極體激發YVO4雷射或雷射二極體激發Nd:YAG雷射的第二高次諧波(波長:532nm)為適當。但,並非限於此,亦可使用氬雷射、準分子雷射、YVO4或YAG雷射的第3或第4高次諧波、以光纖結合的複數個半導體雷射等。 The laser oscillator 1 is a pulsed laser that generates ultraviolet or visible wavelengths, in particular, the size of the output, the stability of the output, etc., and the laser diode excites the YVO 4 laser or the laser diode excitation. The second higher harmonic (wavelength: 532 nm) of the Nd:YAG laser is appropriate. However, it is not limited thereto, and an argon laser, a quasi-molecular laser, a third or fourth harmonic of a YVO 4 or YAG laser, a plurality of semiconductor lasers combined by an optical fiber, or the like may be used.

作為構成光擋板4的零件,除了波卡爾器(Pockels cell)以外,還可使用AO(音響光學)調製器。但,一般AO調製器與波卡爾器作比較,驅動頻率低,繞射效率為70~80%,有稍微低的缺點,但可使用。藉由如此使用波卡爾器4或AO調製器等的光擋板,可由雷射振盪器1的脈衝列(train)在所望的時機切出脈衝照射。 As the component constituting the light baffle 4, an AO (Acoustic Optical) modulator can be used in addition to the Pockels cell. However, the general AO modulator is compared with the wave card device, the driving frequency is low, the diffraction efficiency is 70-80%, and there is a disadvantage of being slightly lower, but it can be used. By thus using the light baffle of the waver 4 or the AO modulator or the like, the pulse irradiation can be cut out at a desired timing by the pulse train of the laser oscillator 1.

照射於施體基板312的雷射光3為了變換成適於雷射轉印的雷射光,而藉由雷射光整形手段12來整形成至少具有2個以上的均一的強度分布之矩形雷射光。來自氣體雷射振盪器或固體雷射振盪器的輸出射束通常是圓形持有高斯函數型的能量分布,因此無法就那樣適用在本發明的雷射轉印。若振盪器輸出充分大,則可充分地擴大射束徑,從中心部分之比較均一的部分切出必要的形狀,藉此取得大致均一的能量分布的任意的形狀,但捨去射束的周邊部分,能量的大部分會浪費。又,若在大型基板全面,以一條的雷射束來重複進行每畫素間距的轉印工程,則會有處理能力大幅度降低的問題。為了解決該等的缺點,將具有高斯函數型的分布之單一雷射脈衝變換成具有複數的均一的分布之雷射光,而使用具有雷射光整形手段及雷射 光分配(分歧)手段的機能之雷射光整形.分歧手段12。 The laser light 3 irradiated onto the donor substrate 312 is converted into a laser light suitable for laser transfer, and the laser light shaping means 12 is used to form rectangular laser light having at least two uniform intensity distributions. The output beam from a gas laser oscillator or a solid-state laser oscillator is generally circular in shape and has a Gaussian function-type energy distribution, and thus cannot be applied as such in the laser transfer of the present invention. When the oscillator output is sufficiently large, the beam diameter can be sufficiently enlarged, and a necessary shape can be cut out from a relatively uniform portion of the center portion, thereby obtaining an arbitrary uniform shape of the energy distribution, but the periphery of the beam is rounded off. In part, most of the energy is wasted. Further, if the transfer process per pixel interval is repeated with one laser beam in a large-sized substrate, there is a problem that the processing capability is greatly reduced. In order to solve these disadvantages, a single laser pulse having a Gaussian function type distribution is transformed into a laser beam having a complex uniform distribution, and a laser beam shaping method and a laser are used. Light distribution (differential) means the function of laser light shaping. Disagreement means 12.

將高斯函數型的不均一的強度分布的單一雷射光整型成複數的均一強度分布之手段的代表例,可舉繞射光學元件,但使用在本發明的雷射光整形.分歧手段12並非限於此,只要能夠將雷射光實現矩形狀均一或適於雷射轉印的能量分布,使用哪種的手段皆可。並且,作為將在雷射光整形.分歧手段12所被整形、分歧的雷射光3的空間強度分布予以原封不動保持下提高功率密度,往所望的間距縮小的手段,亦可在雷射光整形手段12與施體基板312之間***縮小投影透鏡(未圖示),縮小投影光學像。 A representative example of a means for shaping a single laser light of a Gaussian functional type with a heterogeneous intensity distribution into a complex uniform intensity distribution is a diffractive optical element, but is used in the laser light shaping of the present invention. The divergent means 12 is not limited thereto, and any means can be used as long as the laser light can be made uniform in a rectangular shape or suitable for laser transfer. Also, as the laser will be shaped in the laser. The spatial intensity distribution of the laser light 3 that is shaped and diverged by the divergent means 12 is maintained as it is, and the power density is increased. The means for reducing the desired distance can also be inserted between the laser beam shaping means 12 and the donor substrate 312. A projection lens (not shown) reduces the projection optical image.

在此,詳細說明有關使用在本發明的雷射轉印的繞射光學元件的機能。圖16是說明藉由繞射光學元件20來將具有高斯函數型的強度分布之雷射光變換成複數(在圖16是4條)的均一的強度分布之機能的圖。 Here, the function of the diffractive optical element used in the laser transfer of the present invention will be described in detail. Fig. 16 is a view for explaining the function of converting the laser light having the Gaussian function type intensity distribution into a complex intensity distribution (four in Fig. 16) by the diffractive optical element 20.

繞射光學元件80是指在透明的平面基板上以光微影蝕刻(Photolithography)工程來製作可視光波長程度的階差圖案,使光通過該階差圖案,藉此在通過各圖案的雷射光產生光路長,自由地控制雷射光的波面、相位,在任意的結像面上以任意的分割數來形成任意的強度分布、形狀的雷射圖案之光學元件。繞射光學元件80是可將0次繞射光的取出效率設定成90%以上非常高,若與在準分子雷射光之類相干長度(Coherence length)短(可干涉性低)雷射的整形光學系使用的多透鏡陣列方式(Fly eye方式)等作比較,則為可效率佳地取出雷射光的能量之元 件。並且,繞射光學元件80是利用光的繞射來整形雷射光,因此具有固體雷射等相干長度長(可干涉性高),在上述多透鏡陣列方式、Fly eye方式等以往的雷射光整形技術,整形困難的雷射光的整形光學系也可適用的優勢。而且,繞射光學元件80是以單體的元件來進行雷射光整形,因此光學系的維修的容易性的點也比上述2方式更有利。 The diffractive optical element 80 refers to a step pattern on which a visible light wavelength is formed by photolithography on a transparent planar substrate, and light is passed through the step pattern, thereby passing the laser light through each pattern. An optical element that generates a laser pattern having an arbitrary intensity distribution and shape by forming an arbitrary optical path length, freely controlling the wavefront and phase of the laser light, and forming an arbitrary number of divisions on an arbitrary image plane. The diffractive optical element 80 is a shaping optical which can set the extraction efficiency of the 0-order diffracted light to 90% or more, and is short to a coherence length (low interferability) laser such as excimer laser light. The multi-lens array method (Fly eye method) used for comparison is an energy element for efficiently extracting laser light. Pieces. Further, since the diffractive optical element 80 is configured to shape the laser light by the diffraction of the light, it has a long coherence length such as a solid laser (high interferability), and conventional laser beam shaping such as the multi-lens array method or the Fly eye method. The technique of shaping the optical system of difficult laser light is also applicable. Further, since the diffractive optical element 80 performs laser beam shaping by a single element, the ease of maintenance of the optical system is also more advantageous than the above two aspects.

圖16所示的繞射光學元件80是被設計成在具有高斯函數型的強度分布81的雷射光3射入元件中心時可在結像面84上形成所望形狀的均一強度分布85。入射雷射光3是高斯函數型強度分布81,且雷射光的中心位置、行進方向對於光軸83一致。此情況的光軸83是意指通過繞射光學元件80的中心位置,在對繞射光學元件表面垂直的方向延伸的軸。亦即,繞射光學元件80的中心與雷射光3的中心一致。在如此的狀態下,雷射光81射入繞射光學元件80時,結像面84的整形雷射光強度分布85是被變換成適於有機材料的轉印之均一強度分布。 The diffractive optical element 80 shown in Fig. 16 is designed to form a uniform intensity distribution 85 of a desired shape on the image plane 84 when the laser light 3 having the Gaussian function type intensity distribution 81 is incident on the center of the element. The incident laser light 3 is a Gaussian function type intensity distribution 81, and the center position and the traveling direction of the laser light are coincident with respect to the optical axis 83. The optical axis 83 in this case means an axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the diffractive optical element by the center position of the diffractive optical element 80. That is, the center of the diffractive optical element 80 coincides with the center of the laser light 3. In such a state, when the laser beam 81 is incident on the diffractive optical element 80, the shaped laser light intensity distribution 85 of the image plane 84 is converted into a uniform intensity distribution suitable for transfer of the organic material.

[實施例8] [Embodiment 8]

圖17是表示具有使用能量充分大的振盪器時的其他的雷射光分歧手段之雷射轉印裝置202的第2實施例的圖。圖18A、18B是表示其他的雷射光分歧手段的圖。圖18A所示的繞射光學元件30是使具有高斯函數型的強度分布31的雷射光3射入,使具有均一強度分布35的雷射 光形成在某結像面34上之雷射光整形手段。在繞射光學元件30的結像面34上,***形成有圖18B所示的任意的開口圖案例如規則性的矩形開口圖案之雷射光分歧(分配)手段的遮罩13,取得透過遮罩13的開口部13K而被分配的複數的雷射光。並且,如圖17所示般,亦可使複數的雷射光經由用以變換成平行光的中繼透鏡14、投影透鏡來結像於施體基板上。 Fig. 17 is a view showing a second embodiment of the laser transfer device 202 having another laser light divergence means when an oscillator having a sufficiently large energy is used. 18A and 18B are views showing other laser light divergence means. The diffractive optical element 30 shown in Fig. 18A is such that laser light 3 having a Gaussian function type intensity distribution 31 is incident to make a laser having a uniform intensity distribution 35. Light is formed by a laser beam shaping means on a certain image plane 34. A mask 13 in which a laser light divergence (distribution) means of an arbitrary opening pattern such as a regular rectangular opening pattern shown in FIG. 18B is formed is formed on the image plane 34 of the diffractive optical element 30, and a transmissive mask 13 is obtained. The plurality of laser lights are allocated to the opening portion 13K. Further, as shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of laser beams may be connected to the donor substrate via the relay lens 14 and the projection lens for conversion into parallel light.

若根據實施例8,則如圖18B所示般,只要將遮罩13的開口圖案13K設定成矩陣狀,便可形成在雷射掃描方向及與雷射掃描方向正交的方向排列複數雷射光的圖案,由於可對施體基板312進行複數列的重疊照射,因此可預料處理能力大幅度的提升。 According to the eighth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18B, by setting the opening pattern 13K of the mask 13 in a matrix shape, it is possible to form a plurality of laser beams arranged in the laser scanning direction and the direction orthogonal to the laser scanning direction. Since the pattern of the donor substrate 312 can be superimposed in a plurality of columns, it is expected that the processing capability is greatly improved.

如後述的圖19所示般,有機EL膜以均一的膜厚來形成於一主面側的施體基板312及電路基板310是以施體基板上形成有機EL膜的側的面與電路基板上形成電路的側的面能夠對向的方式來保持於真空腔室50內的平台17上。另外,在實施例7、8是顯示將施體基板312、電路基板310及平台17保持於真空腔室50內的情況。此外,亦可採用:以鉗位框(clamping frame)等來密封對向配置的基板周邊部之後,藉由乾式泵、渦輪分子泵、低溫泵(皆未圖示)來真空保持施體基板312與電路基板310之間的空間那樣的形態。 The donor substrate 312 and the circuit substrate 310 which are formed on the main surface side with a uniform film thickness as shown in FIG. 19, which will be described later, are the side surface on which the organic EL film is formed on the donor substrate, and the circuit substrate. The side on which the side on which the circuit is formed can be held in a manner opposite to the platform 17 in the vacuum chamber 50. Further, in the seventh and eighth embodiments, the case where the donor substrate 312, the circuit substrate 310, and the stage 17 are held in the vacuum chamber 50 is shown. Further, after the peripheral portion of the substrate disposed oppositely is sealed by a clamping frame or the like, the donor substrate 312 is vacuum-held by a dry pump, a turbo molecular pump, or a cryopump (none of which is shown). A form like the space between the circuit board 310.

施體基板312是由Ti、Ni、Cu、Fe、Au、Cr、Mo、W或含該等的合金的其中任一所構成的金屬板為適合,施 體基板的厚度是5~10微米程度為適合。在施體基板312之與電路基板310對向的面上是藉由真空蒸鍍法等預先以均一的膜厚來形成轉印至電路基板的有機EL膜。對向設置的施體基板與成膜用的電路基板之間隔是必須在基板面內保持於一定,為此,在電路基板上的畫素區域周邊或施體基板上的任何一方,設有藉由光微影蝕刻工程來形成的突起或間隔件為適(未圖示)。突起、或間隔件的厚度是數μm~數百μm,較理想是80~100μm程度為適,該等是藉由光微影蝕刻工程來形成。間隔件是按各畫素或以能夠包圍複數的畫素區域(在畫素區域不重疊)的方式配置於四方,但在包圍四方的間隔件框間設有間隙為適。藉由此間隙,隔著間隔件來使施體基板與電路基板之間保持於真空而對向時,以間隔件來隔開的區域也全部被保持於一定壓力。亦即,可藉由此突起、間隔件來將施體基板之形成有機EL膜的面與電路基板的間隔保持於一定。 The donor substrate 312 is made of a metal plate made of any one of Ti, Ni, Cu, Fe, Au, Cr, Mo, W or an alloy containing the same. The thickness of the bulk substrate is suitably 5 to 10 μm. On the surface of the donor substrate 312 that faces the circuit board 310, an organic EL film that is transferred to the circuit board is formed in advance by a vacuum deposition method or the like with a uniform film thickness. The distance between the donor substrate and the circuit substrate for film formation must be kept constant in the substrate surface. Therefore, it is provided on either the periphery of the pixel region on the circuit substrate or on the donor substrate. Protrusions or spacers formed by photolithography etching are suitable (not shown). The thickness of the protrusions or spacers is several μm to several hundreds μm, preferably 80 to 100 μm, which is formed by photolithography etching. The spacer is disposed on each of the pixels or in a pixel region that can surround the plurality of pixels (the pixel regions do not overlap), but a gap is provided between the spacer frames surrounding the square. By this gap, when the donor substrate and the circuit board are held in a vacuum by the spacers and opposed to each other, the regions partitioned by the spacers are all held at a constant pressure. In other words, the interval between the surface on which the organic EL film is formed on the donor substrate and the circuit board can be kept constant by the projections and the spacers.

其次,按照圖來說明有關可適用在本發明的各實施例的有機EL面板的製造方法。 Next, a method of manufacturing an organic EL panel applicable to each embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

圖19(a)~(d)是顯示利用本發明的雷射轉印方法來將有機EL膜304轉印於電路基板310上的工程的一例圖。圖19是矩陣狀轉印的情況,以其1列為代表進行說明。如圖19(a)所示般,對於在金屬箔上預先形成均一的膜厚的有機EL膜304之施體基板312,藉由圖16所示的雷射光整形.分歧手段12之繞射光學元件80來將雷射光3分歧成4條具有均一的強度分布的雷射光。然後, 對於施體基板312相對地掃描往箭號的方向分歧的雷射光,從圖19(a)往圖(d)依序使移動於所望區域照射。此時,對於轉印有機EL膜304的相對座標0~X7(轉印區域320~轉印區域327),以分歧的4條雷射光能夠按每一定的時間重疊照射之方式調整雷射掃描速度。 19(a) to 19(d) are diagrams showing an example of a process of transferring the organic EL film 304 onto the circuit board 310 by the laser transfer method of the present invention. Fig. 19 is a view showing a case of matrix transfer, and one row thereof will be described as a representative. As shown in Fig. 19 (a), the donor substrate 312 of the organic EL film 304 having a uniform film thickness formed on the metal foil is formed by laser light irradiation as shown in Fig. 16. The diffractive optical element 80 of the divergent means 12 divides the laser light 3 into four laser beams having a uniform intensity distribution. then, The donor substrate 312 is relatively scanned for laser light that is divergent in the direction of the arrow, and is sequentially irradiated from the desired region from FIG. 19(a) to FIG. At this time, with respect to the relative coordinates 0 to X7 (transfer region 320 to transfer region 327) of the transfer organic EL film 304, the laser scanning speed can be adjusted in such a manner that the four laser lights that are divergent can be superimposed and irradiated every certain time. .

或,此時,為了提高雷射照射時機的調整自由度,亦可利用EO調製器、AO調製器等的光擋板4(參照圖15)來進行脈衝的間拔,藉此以雷射能夠照射於所望區域之方式調整高頻振盪的雷射振盪器的脈衝列。 Alternatively, in order to increase the degree of freedom in adjusting the timing of the laser irradiation, the optical baffle 4 (see FIG. 15) such as an EO modulator or an AO modulator may be used to extract the pulses, thereby enabling the laser to be extracted. The pulse train of the high frequency oscillating laser oscillator is adjusted so as to illuminate the desired area.

在此,敘述有關往施體基板312上之藉由雷射光照射所產生的熱彈性波的產生機構、有機EL膜304的剝離機構。被照射雷射的金屬箔是以極表面來吸收雷射光能量。藉此,僅極表面附近的格子會局部性地熱膨脹。熱膨脹後的極表面附近的格子壓縮深度方向的格子,此壓縮變形會以音速傳播於格子中。亦即產生彈性波。另一方面,自由表面(雷射照射面)是以解放被蓄積於格子的變形的形式膨脹。一旦傳播於深度方向的壓縮波到達背面,則這回背面的自由表面會起伏。對於起伏的表面所欲回到原來形狀的力量會作用,在相反方向反射傳播彈性波。 Here, a mechanism for generating a thermoelastic wave generated by irradiation of laser light onto the donor substrate 312 and a peeling mechanism of the organic EL film 304 will be described. The metal foil that is exposed to the laser absorbs the laser light energy on the extreme surface. Thereby, only the lattice near the extreme surface is locally thermally expanded. The lattice in the vicinity of the pole surface after thermal expansion compresses the lattice in the depth direction, and this compression deformation propagates in the lattice at the speed of sound. That is, an elastic wave is generated. On the other hand, the free surface (laser irradiation surface) is expanded in a form in which the liberation is accumulated in the lattice. Once the compression wave propagating in the depth direction reaches the back side, the free surface on the back side will fluctuate. For the undulating surface, the force that wants to return to the original shape will act, and the elastic wave will be reflected in the opposite direction.

如此一來,熱彈性波會往復於金屬箔中,可取得共振狀態。有機EL膜304是在一定時間以上接受金屬箔的共振狀態時,機械性地從金屬箔剝離,飛翔,轉印至對向的電路基板310。 As a result, the thermoelastic wave reciprocates in the metal foil, and a resonance state can be obtained. When the organic EL film 304 receives the resonance state of the metal foil for a certain period of time or longer, it is mechanically peeled off from the metal foil, and is transferred to the opposite circuit board 310.

此時,引起適於有機EL膜304的機械性剝離的彈性 波之雷射光強度是存在適當的範圍。圖20是表示有機膜的雷射剝離轉印製程的適當範圍的模式圖。橫軸,縱軸是分別對應於雷射重疊次數及雷射的能量密度。若將適當範圍以上的強度的雷射光照射於一主面,則可想像產生以下的二個現象。一個是被加熱的一主面的極表面的熱會傳導,多主面的有機膜溫度上昇的現象,另一個是振幅(能量)大的熱彈性波會到達至其他主面上,在通過有機EL膜中時產生波的傳播所造成的隔熱壓縮,膜中溫度上昇的現象。該等的複合因素,使膜中溫度不必要地上昇,容易發生損傷有機膜的不良情況。亦即,喪失作為有機EL膜的機能。 At this time, elasticity suitable for mechanical peeling of the organic EL film 304 is caused. The intensity of the laser light of the wave is in the proper range. Fig. 20 is a schematic view showing an appropriate range of a laser peeling transfer process of an organic film. The horizontal axis and the vertical axis correspond to the number of times of laser overlap and the energy density of the laser, respectively. When laser light of an intensity of an appropriate range or more is irradiated onto one main surface, it is conceivable that the following two phenomena occur. One is the heat conduction of the pole surface of the heated one main surface, the temperature of the organic film of the multi-main surface rises, and the other is that the thermoelastic wave with large amplitude (energy) reaches the other main surface, passing through the organic In the EL film, the phenomenon of heat insulation and compression caused by the propagation of waves occurs, and the temperature in the film rises. These composite factors cause the temperature in the film to rise unnecessarily, which is liable to cause damage to the organic film. That is, the function as an organic EL film is lost.

另一方面,在照射適當範圍以下的雷射光時,由於被引起的熱彈性波的振幅(能量)不大,因此在其次的雷射脈衝被照射以前衰減,無法取得為了使機械的剝離產生之充分的共振狀態。亦即,只在適當的次數重疊照射適當的強度的雷射脈衝時,可繼續取得適於剝離的適當的共振狀態。 On the other hand, when irradiating laser light of an appropriate range or less, since the amplitude (energy) of the thermoelastic wave to be generated is not large, it is attenuated before the next laser pulse is irradiated, and it is impossible to obtain the mechanical peeling. Full resonance state. That is, an appropriate resonance state suitable for peeling can be continuously obtained only when the appropriate intensity of the laser pulse is superimposed and applied at an appropriate number of times.

圖19(a)所示的施體基板312上的轉印區域320是所被分歧的4條雷射光的重疊照射完了的區域。藉由4次的雷射照射,一定時間以上所望的振幅強度的熱彈性波會繼續被引起,背面的有機EL膜304會作為剝離片305來轉印至電路基板310(相對座標0)。對轉印區域321(相對座標X1)是完成3次的雷射照射,對轉印區域322(相對座標X2)是完成2次的雷射照射,對轉印區域323 (相對座標X3)是完成1次的雷射照射,引起行進於照射區域的深度方向的熱彈性波,但有機膜是未被剝離轉印。並且,以虛線所包圍的區域330(相對座標X4~X7)是雷射未照射區域。 The transfer region 320 on the donor substrate 312 shown in Fig. 19 (a) is a region in which the overlapping four laser beams are irradiated. By the four-time laser irradiation, the thermoelastic wave of the amplitude intensity which is expected for a certain period of time or longer continues to be generated, and the organic EL film 304 on the back surface is transferred as the peeling sheet 305 to the circuit board 310 (relative coordinate 0). For the transfer region 321 (relative coordinate X1), laser irradiation is completed three times, and for the transfer region 322 (relative coordinate X2), laser irradiation is completed twice, and the transfer region 323 is applied. (relative coordinate X3) is a laser irradiation that is completed once, causing a thermoelastic wave traveling in the depth direction of the irradiation region, but the organic film is not peeled off. Further, a region 330 (relative coordinates X4 to X7) surrounded by a broken line is a laser non-irradiated region.

將一定時間經過後的狀態顯示於圖19(b)。雷射光3、光學元件80是對於與電路基板310對向的施體基板312相對性地移動,對轉印區域321(相對座標X1)進行第4次的雷射照射。藉此符合轉印區域321的有機膜剝離的條件,有機EL膜304會被剝離轉印至電路基板310上的座標X1。同時對轉印區域322(相對座標X2)進行第3次的雷射照射,對轉印區域323(相對座標X3)進行第2次的雷射照射,對轉印區域324(相對座標X4)進行第1次的雷射照射。 The state after a certain period of time has elapsed is shown in Fig. 19(b). The laser light 3 and the optical element 80 are relatively moved with respect to the donor substrate 312 opposed to the circuit board 310, and subjected to the fourth laser irradiation of the transfer region 321 (relative coordinate X1). Thereby, the organic EL film 304 is peeled off and transferred to the coordinate X1 on the circuit board 310 in accordance with the conditions in which the organic film of the transfer region 321 is peeled off. At the same time, the third irradiation of the transfer region 322 (relative coordinate X2) is performed, and the second laser irradiation is performed on the transfer region 323 (relative coordinate X3), and the transfer region 324 (relative coordinate X4) is performed. The first laser irradiation.

更將一定時間經過後的狀態顯示於圖19(c)。雷射光3、光學元件80是對於與電路基板310對向的施體基板312更相對性地往箭號的方向移動,對轉印區域322(相對座標X2)進行第4次的雷射照射。與先前同樣,符合轉印區域322(相對座標X2)的有機膜剝離的條件,有機EL膜304會被剝離轉印至電路基板310上的座標X2。同時對轉印區域323(相對座標X3)進行第3次的雷射照射,對轉印區域324(相對座標X4)進行第2次的雷射照射,對轉印區域325(相對座標X5)進行最初的雷射照射。 The state after a certain period of time has elapsed is shown in Fig. 19(c). The laser light 3 and the optical element 80 move in the direction of the arrow more toward the donor substrate 312 opposed to the circuit board 310, and perform the fourth laser irradiation on the transfer region 322 (relative coordinate X2). Similarly to the prior art, the organic EL film 304 is peeled off and transferred to the coordinate X2 on the circuit substrate 310 under the condition that the organic film of the transfer region 322 (relative to the coordinate X2) is peeled off. At the same time, the transfer region 323 (relative coordinate X3) is subjected to the third laser irradiation, the transfer region 324 (relative coordinate X4) is subjected to the second laser irradiation, and the transfer region 325 (relative coordinate X5) is performed. The initial laser exposure.

更將一定時間經過後的狀態顯示於圖19(d)。雷射 光3、光學元件80是對於與電路基板310對向的施體基板312更相對性地往箭號的方向移動,對轉印區域323(相對座標X3)進行第4次的雷射照射。與先前同樣,符合轉印區域323(相對座標X3)的有機膜剝離的條件,有機EL膜304會被剝離轉印至電路基板上的座標X3。同時對轉印區域324(相對座標X4)進行第3次的雷射照射,對轉印區域325(相對座標X5)進行第2次的雷射照射,對轉印區域326(相對座標X6)進行最初的雷射照射。 The state after a certain period of time has elapsed is shown in Fig. 19(d). Laser The light 3 and the optical element 80 move more toward the direction of the arrow with respect to the donor substrate 312 opposed to the circuit board 310, and perform the fourth laser irradiation on the transfer area 323 (relative coordinate X3). Similarly to the prior art, the organic EL film 304 is peeled off and transferred to the coordinate X3 on the circuit board under the condition that the organic film of the transfer region 323 (relative to the coordinate X3) is peeled off. At the same time, the third irradiation of the transfer region 324 (relative coordinate X4) is performed, and the second laser irradiation is performed on the transfer region 325 (relative coordinate X5), and the transfer region 326 (relative coordinate X6) is performed. The initial laser exposure.

之後也對於電路基板上所必要的區域以一定間隔重複雷射光的重疊照射。如此不會因為不必要的溫度上昇而使有機膜損傷的情形,可實現安定的轉印工程。 Subsequent irradiation of the laser light is also repeated at regular intervals for the necessary regions on the circuit board. In this way, the organic film is not damaged due to an unnecessary temperature rise, and a stable transfer process can be realized.

以上說明的轉印工程是在每一轉印區域使離散性地移動進行,但亦可以所被分歧的雷射光的公約數單位來使離散性地移動,既定次數使重疊於同轉印區域。例如,分歧數為4時,其公約數是1、2、4。2時,在同位置進行2次雷射照射,每2轉印區域使2次離散性地移動。4時,在同位置進行4次雷射照射,每4轉印區域使1次離散性地移動。一般,若將分歧數設為N,將N的公約數設為M,將移動次數設為P,將在同位置的照射次數設為L,則P=N/M,L=N/P。而且,在以上的說明是既定次數=分歧數,但亦可將分歧數設定成既定次數的整數倍。此情況,先設分歧數=既定次數,以前述的方法來進行照射,之後按照真的分歧數來使離散性地移動。 The transfer process described above is discretely moved in each transfer region, but may be discretely moved by a common number of laser light that is branched, and overlapped in the same transfer region for a predetermined number of times. For example, when the number of divergences is 4, the common divisor is 1, 2, and 4. When 2, the laser irradiation is performed twice at the same position, and the displacement is moved twice discretely every 2 transfer regions. At 4 o'clock, four times of laser irradiation were performed at the same position, and the movement was discretely performed once every four transfer regions. In general, if the number of divergence is N, the common divisor of N is M, the number of movements is P, and the number of irradiations at the same position is L, then P=N/M, L=N/P. Further, in the above description, the predetermined number of times = the number of divergences, but the number of divergences may be set to an integral multiple of a predetermined number of times. In this case, the number of divergence = the predetermined number of times is first set, and the irradiation is performed by the above method, and then the discrete number is moved in accordance with the true divergence number.

在以上說明的雷射轉印裝置,若根據實施例7、8,則可在一主面層疊有機EL薄膜的施體基板上的其他主面,一邊保持一定的時間間隔,一邊重疊照射具有均一的強度分布之複數的雷射光,藉此一面抑制有機EL薄膜的溫度上昇所造成的損傷,一面使合適於剝離有機EL薄膜的熱彈性波繼續產生於施體基板內。 According to the laser transfer device described above, according to the seventh and eighth embodiments, the other main surfaces on the donor substrate on which the organic EL thin film is laminated on one main surface can be uniformly irradiated while maintaining a constant time interval. The laser beam having a plurality of intensity distributions is used to suppress the damage caused by the temperature rise of the organic EL film, and the thermoelastic wave suitable for the peeling of the organic EL film is continuously generated in the donor substrate.

並且,在以上說明的雷射轉印裝置,若根據實施例7,則可將雷射束分歧,對於掃描方向直列配置,藉此使雷射束往同一處重疊照射,而使引起所望的熱彈性波時也不會有損處理能力來實現所望的雷射轉印製程。 Further, in the laser transfer device described above, according to the seventh embodiment, the laser beams can be branched and arranged in the scanning direction, whereby the laser beam is superimposed and irradiated to the same place, thereby causing the desired heat. Elastic waves do not detract from the processing power to achieve the desired laser transfer process.

而且,在以上說明的雷射轉印裝置,若根據實施例8,則可藉由將任意分配的開口圖案例如規則性的矩形開口圖案設成矩陣狀的遮罩來分配雷射光,使雷射束往同一處重疊照射,而使引起所望的熱彈性波時,不會有損處理能力來實現所望的雷射轉印製程。 Further, in the laser transfer device described above, according to the eighth embodiment, laser light can be distributed by arbitrarily assigning an open pattern such as a regular rectangular opening pattern to a matrix-shaped mask, so that the laser beam is irradiated. The beams are superimposed on the same side so that when the desired thermoelastic wave is caused, the processing capability is not impaired to achieve the desired laser transfer process.

[實施例10] [Embodiment 10]

實施例10為顯示進行本發明雷射轉印方式的原理驗證實驗的結果。藉由真空蒸鍍法,在厚度10μm的SUS304施體基板的一主面上,以膜厚65nm來形成Alq3(發光層及電子輸送層)作為轉印層。另一方面,在玻璃基板的一主面上,依序以膜厚150nm來形成ITO(陽極電極),以膜厚125nm來形成α-NPD(電洞輸送層),作為轉印Alq3的側的電路基板。 Embodiment 10 is a result showing a principle verification experiment in which the laser transfer method of the present invention is carried out. Alq 3 (light emitting layer and electron transporting layer) was formed as a transfer layer on one main surface of a SUS304 donor substrate having a thickness of 10 μm by a vacuum deposition method at a film thickness of 65 nm. On the other hand, on one main surface of the glass substrate, ITO (anode electrode) was formed in a film thickness of 150 nm, and α-NPD (hole transport layer) was formed at a film thickness of 125 nm as a side of transfer Alq 3 Circuit board.

其次,隔著厚度80μm的間隔件,以Alq3膜面與α- NPD膜面能夠對向的方式安裝施體基板與玻璃基板,保持於真空層內,且經由真空層的窗材來對SUS304施體基板的其他主面上(不形成Alq3層的側)以0.8m/s的速度在一方向掃描照射脈衝YAG雷射(波長532nm,輸出6W,脈衝寬10ns,重複頻率20kHz)。雷射每1脈衝的輸出是300μJ,將SUS304板上的照射射束徑設定於190μm來照射,以1J/cm2的能量密度進行雷射照射。由雷射的重複頻率與掃描速度的關係,依序進行:點徑190mm的雷射脈衝每50μs,在一方向移動40μm而照射的工程。亦即,在SUS施體基板上的同一處,雷射脈衝會被重疊照射4次的條件。 Next, the donor substrate and the glass substrate were attached so that the Alq 3 film surface and the α-NPD film surface were opposed to each other with a spacer having a thickness of 80 μm, and held in the vacuum layer, and the SUS304 was passed through the window of the vacuum layer. The other main surface of the donor substrate (the side where the Alq 3 layer was not formed) was scanned with a pulsed YAG laser (wavelength 532 nm, output 6 W, pulse width 10 ns, repetition frequency 20 kHz) in a direction at a speed of 0.8 m/s. The output of the laser per pulse was 300 μJ, and the irradiation beam diameter on the SUS304 plate was set to 190 μm to irradiate, and laser irradiation was performed at an energy density of 1 J/cm 2 . The relationship between the repetition frequency of the laser and the scanning speed is sequentially performed: a laser pulse having a spot diameter of 190 mm per 50 μs, and a project of moving 40 μm in one direction to illuminate. That is, on the same place on the SUS donor substrate, the laser pulse is superimposed and irradiated four times.

在這樣的照射條件下一列照射後,在與掃描方向正交的方向使射束點相對性地平行移動100μm,進行同樣的掃描照射。如此使重複射束平行移動,將基板全面掃描照射後,在轉印後的Alq3膜上,依序蒸鍍LiF(電子注入層)0.5nm,Al(陰極電極),將玻璃基板貼合於層疊膜形成基板而密封。 After the irradiation of the next row under such irradiation conditions, the beam spots were relatively moved in parallel by 100 μm in the direction orthogonal to the scanning direction, and the same scanning irradiation was performed. In this manner, the repeated beams were moved in parallel, and after the substrate was completely scanned and irradiated, LiF (electron injection layer) of 0.5 nm and Al (cathode electrode) were sequentially deposited on the transferred Alq 3 film, and the glass substrate was bonded thereto. The laminated film is formed into a substrate and sealed.

以此方法形成的有機EL發光裝置是在進行轉印的全面確認發光。此時,在亮度100cd/m2的發光電壓是9V。考量SUS施體基板的光吸收及往板厚方向的熱傳導,估算雷射重疊照射所造成Alq3層側的溫度上昇量時,溫度是70℃程度。這是遠比Alq3昇華溫度低的溫度。 The organic EL light-emitting device formed by this method is a comprehensive confirmation light emission for performing transfer. At this time, the light-emitting voltage at a luminance of 100 cd/m 2 was 9V. Considering the light absorption of the SUS donor substrate and the heat conduction in the thickness direction, the temperature rise is 70 ° C when the temperature rise of the Alq 3 layer side caused by the overlapping laser irradiation is estimated. This is a temperature that is much lower than the Alq 3 sublimation temperature.

由此可理解,本方式是藉由熱昇華以外的現象來將有機層轉印至裝置基板側。亦即,可想像成實施例7記載那 樣藉由雷射熱彈性波之機械性的剝離所產生的轉印。由於可將有機膜溫度壓至低溫,因此可實現一邊抑制有機膜的熱損傷,一邊安定作為具有原來的機能的膜之轉印工程。 From this, it can be understood that the present embodiment transfers the organic layer to the device substrate side by a phenomenon other than thermal sublimation. That is, it can be imagined as described in the seventh embodiment. A transfer resulting from mechanical peeling of a laser thermoelastic wave. Since the temperature of the organic film can be lowered to a low temperature, it is possible to achieve a transfer process of a film having the original function while suppressing thermal damage of the organic film.

依據該等的檢討證實,藉由脈衝重疊照射所引起之熱彈性波的傳播,Alq3不會因熱而昇華(分解),保持分子構造不變,機械性地被轉印。實現保持分子構造不變的狀態的轉印是意味可實現不損裝置性能且安定之有機層的轉印。 According to these reviews, it was confirmed that Alq 3 was not sublimated (decomposed) by heat due to the propagation of the thermoelastic waves caused by the pulse overlap irradiation, and the molecular structure was maintained and mechanically transferred. The transfer which realizes the state in which the molecular structure is maintained is a transfer which means that the stable organic layer can be realized without impairing the performance of the device.

(比較例) (Comparative example)

在實施例10中,除了將作為施體基板使用的SUS板設為厚度2μm,將雷射掃描速度設為3.2m/s以外,是與實施例2同樣設定,形成有機EL裝置。在3.2m/s的掃描時,由與雷射振盪頻率的關係,雷射脈衝間的移動是相當於160μm。亦即,在比較例2的照射是成為雷射脈衝不重疊於SUS304施體基板上的同一處(1脈衝照射)的條件。 In the tenth embodiment, the organic EL device was formed in the same manner as in the second embodiment except that the SUS plate used as the donor substrate was set to have a thickness of 2 μm and the laser scanning speed was set to 3.2 m/s. At a scan of 3.2 m/s, the movement between the laser pulses is equivalent to 160 μm in relation to the laser oscillation frequency. That is, the irradiation in Comparative Example 2 is a condition in which the laser pulse does not overlap the same place (1 pulse irradiation) on the SUS304 donor substrate.

在調查以這樣的雷射照射條件來形成的裝置的發光特性時,在點照射中央部是未被確認裝置發光。在估算SUS板厚條件為2μm的Alq3層側的溫度上昇量時,溫度是270℃程度。此溫度是超過Alq3昇華的溫度,可推定因雷射轉印工程中的膜中溫度上昇而產生材料的熱昇華.分解。 When investigating the light-emitting characteristics of the device formed under such laser irradiation conditions, the unconfirmed device emits light at the center portion of the spot irradiation. When the temperature rise amount of the SUS plate thickness condition of 2 μm on the side of the Alq 3 layer was estimated, the temperature was about 270 °C. This temperature is higher than the temperature of Alq 3 sublimation, and it can be presumed that the material is sublimed due to the temperature rise in the film in the laser transfer engineering. break down.
