为使本发明实施例的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合本发 明实施例的附图, 对本发明实施例的技术方案进行清楚、 完整地描述。显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于本发明 的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他 实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
本申请的发明人注意到, 使用普通掩膜板来制备柱状隔垫物时, 将柱状 隔垫物设计成不同尺寸, 主要柱状隔垫物的尺寸较大, 而次要柱状隔垫物的 尺寸较小。 在制备过程中, 通过控制掩膜板的开口的大小可以控制曝光量的 大小, 从而实现主要柱状隔垫物和次要柱状隔垫物的高度差, 但是二者高度 差只有在主要柱状隔垫物和次要柱状隔垫物的尺寸相差较大时才能实现。 在 这样的条件下, 由于主要隔垫物和次要隔垫物的尺寸相差较大, 使得形成的 主要隔垫物和次要隔垫物的上表面形貌也有较大差异。 主要隔垫物表面形貌 较平整, 而次要隔垫物由于尺寸较小, 表面比较粗糙, 有凹凸不平的现象出 现。 这种形貌的不均匀性会对隔垫物的支撑效果产生直接的不利影响。 另一 方面, 使用半透膜掩膜板来制备柱状隔垫物时, 虽然主要柱状隔垫物和次要 柱状隔垫物的尺寸可以比较接近, 但是制备成本较高。
在本发明的至少一个实施例中, 液晶显示器(LCD ) 包括阵列基板、 彩 膜基板(color filter substrate )和二者之间的液晶层。 例如, 隔垫物位于彩膜 基板上, 用来决定彩膜基板和阵列基板之间的盒厚 ( cell gap ) 。
实施例一
本发明的至少实施例提供了一种彩膜基板的制作方法, 如图 1所示, 该 方法包括如下步骤。
步骤 S101、 通过例如构图工艺在基板上制作黑矩阵图形和彩色光阻
( color filter )图形。 在一个示例中, 黑矩阵图形包括主区域和辅区域, 主区 域沿所述黑矩阵图形的列方向的宽度大于辅区域沿所述黑矩阵图形的列方向 的宽度。 步骤 S102、 在黑矩阵图形和彩色光阻图形上制作平坦层。
步骤 S103、在平坦层上制作隔垫物, 隔垫物包括主要隔垫物和次要隔垫 物。 在一个示例中, 主要隔垫物位于黑矩阵图形的主区域上, 次要隔垫物位 于黑矩阵图形的辅区域上, 主要隔垫物的高度大于次要隔垫物的高度。
需要说明的是, 黑矩阵图形包括主区域和辅区域, 例如, 任意一行黑矩 阵图形包括主区域和 /或辅区域。 例如, 这种设置可以扩展为以下几种情形。
情形一、 如图 2所示, 至少一行黑矩阵图形 2只包括主区域 3, 其他行 黑矩阵图形 2只包括辅区域 4。
情形二、 如图 3所示, 每一行黑矩阵图形 2同时包括主区域 3和辅区域 4。
情形三、 至少一行黑矩阵图形 2只包括主区域 3, 其他行黑矩阵图形 2 包括主区域 3和辅区域 4。
情形四、 至少一行黑矩阵图形 2只包括辅区域 4, 其他行黑矩阵图形 2 包括主区域 3和辅区域 4。
情形五、至少一行黑矩阵图形 2只包括主区域 3,至少一行黑矩阵图形 2 只包括辅区域 4, 其他行黑矩阵图形 2包括主区域 3和辅区域 4。
需要注意的是,任意一行黑矩阵图形 2包括主区域 3和 /或辅区域 4包括 以上五种情形, 但不局限于以上五种情形。 在本发明的实施例中, 基板上的 黑矩阵图形 2在包括情形一描述的黑矩阵图形的基础上, 还可以包括几行既 不包括主区域也不包括辅区域的黑矩阵图形。 类似地, 还可以根据实际情况 在情形一至情形五的基础上进行扩展, 本发明实施例在此不进行——列举。 在图 2-4中, 较大的圓圈对应于主要柱状隔垫物, 而较小的圓圈对应于次要 柱状隔垫物; 黑矩阵的行方向对应于水平方向 (图中的箭头方向) , 而黑矩 阵的列方向对应于垂直于水平方向的方向。
此外, 例如, 主区域 3沿黑矩阵图形 2的行方向的长度可以大于或等于 主要隔垫物 7的宽度, 辅区域 4沿黑矩阵图形 2的行方向的长度可以大于或 等于次要隔垫物 8的宽度。 例如, 可以如图 2和图 3所示, 主区域 3沿黑矩 阵图形 2的行方向的长度大于主要隔垫物 7的宽度, 辅区域 4沿黑矩阵图形 2的行方向的长度大于次要隔垫物 8的宽度; 也可以如图 4所示, 主区域 3 沿黑矩阵图形 2的行方向的长度 1'等于主要隔垫物 7的宽度, 辅区域 4沿黑 矩阵图形 2的行方向的长度等于次要隔垫物 8的宽度。 此外, 还可以包括其 他情况, 本发明实施例不——列举。 本发明实施例制作的隔垫物可以为柱状 隔垫物, 也可以为其他形状的隔垫物, 本发明实施例对此不进行限定。
为了更加清楚地描述本发明实施例提供的彩膜基板的制作方法, 可以将 图 1所示的彩膜基板的制作方法具体扩展为图 5所示的制作方法, 制作的彩 膜基板如图 6和图 7所示, 该制作方法包括如下步骤:
步骤 S501、 在基板上制作黑矩阵图形。
例如, 在液晶显示器中, 为了提升液晶显示器的对比度, 可以在彩膜基 板上设置黑矩阵图形 2, 以遮掩数据线、 栅线和薄膜晶体管等结构, 以及避 免在显示器显示时子像素之间出现漏光现象。 因此, 黑矩阵图形 2的材料可 以具有很强的遮光性和低的反射率, 例如碳黑或黑色树脂等。
如图 6和图 7所示, 在一个示例中, 首先在基板 1上涂覆一层黑矩阵图 形 2所用材料, 然后使用带有所需图案的黑矩阵掩膜板进行遮盖, 经过例如 紫外曝光、 显影步骤后, 在基板 1上便得到具有所需图案形状的黑矩阵图形 2。
在本发明的实施例中,黑矩阵图形 2包括主区域 3和辅区域 4,主区域 3 沿黑矩阵图形 2的列方向的宽度 L大于辅区域 4沿黑矩阵图形 2的列方向的 宽度 /。 在黑矩阵图形 2的制作过程中, 通过使用的黑矩阵掩膜板的尺寸控 制主区域 3和辅区域 4的不同宽度和长度。
步骤 S502、 在形成了黑矩阵图形的基板上制作彩色光阻图形。
彩色光阻图形 5的主要作用在于通过对白光的选择性透过和吸收, 从而 实现彩色显示, 因此彩色光阻图形 5可以具有高透过率。 在一个示例中, 彩 色光阻图形 5包括红色区域、 绿色区域和蓝色区域, 每个区域均为对应颜色 的经过有机颜料上色的树脂材料。
可以使用喷墨打印、 颜料分散法或印刷等方法在基板 1上制作彩色光阻 图形 5。 在一个示例中, 彩色光阻图形 5包括的红、 绿、 蓝三种颜色区域可 以分三次依次分别制作。 例如, 先在整个基板上涂布一层红色树脂材料, 使 用相应的彩色光阻掩膜板遮盖, 进行曝光、 显影, 得到彩色光阻图形 5中的 红色区域; 然后, 在整个基板上涂布绿色树脂材料, 使用相应的彩色光阻掩 膜板遮盖, 进行曝光、 显影, 得到彩色光阻图形 5中的绿色区域; 最后, 在 整个基板上涂布蓝色树脂材料,使用相应的彩色光阻掩膜板遮盖,进行曝光、 显影, 最后得到彩色光阻图形 5中的蓝色区域。 经过上述过程后, 在整个基 板上形成一层包括红色区域、 绿色区域和蓝色区域的彩色光阻图形 5。
需要说明的是, 本发明的实施例不限于上述材料、 顺序等, 例如, 黑矩 阵图形 2和彩色光阻图形 5的制作顺序可以与上述制作顺序不同。 在彩膜基 板的制作过程中, 也可以先制作彩色光阻图形 5, 再制作黑矩阵图形 2。若先 制作彩色光阻图形 5, 则可以通过使彩色光阻图形 5的不同区域具有不同的 宽度和长度, 从而使得随后制作的黑矩阵图形 2的主区域 3和辅区域 4具有 不同的宽度和 /或长度。 本发明的实施例的步骤 S101 中, 通过例如构图工艺 在基板 1上制作黑矩阵图形 2和彩色光阻图形 5时, 可以先制作黑矩阵图形 2, 再制作彩色光阻图形 5; 也可以先制作彩色光阻图形 5, 再制作黑矩阵图 形 2; 或者, 根据实际情况还可以包括通过例如一次构图工艺同时制作黑矩 阵 2和彩色光阻图形 5。
步骤 S503、 在黑矩阵图形和彩色光阻图形上制作平坦层。
通过在黑矩阵图形 2和彩色光阻图形 5上制作平坦层 6, 可以在一定程 度上使黑矩阵图形 2和彩色光阻图形 5的表面更平坦。 平坦层 6根据不同情 况可以包括不同的结构。 例如, 平坦层 6可以包括透明保护层, 该透明保护 层的作用在于更好地保护彩色光阻图形 5、 改善其表面平坦程度以及防止其 污染成盒后的液晶。 透明保护层选用的材料例如为环氧树脂系或亚克力树脂 系高分子材料。根据不同显示模式的需要,平坦层 6还可以包括透明导电层。 例如, 透明导电层可以选用氧化铟锡或氧化铟辞等透明导电材料。
步骤 S504、在平坦层上制作隔垫物, 隔垫物包括主要隔垫物和次要隔垫 物。 在一个示例中, 主要隔垫物位于黑矩阵图形的主区域上, 次要隔垫物位 于黑矩阵图形的辅区域上, 主要隔垫物的高度大于次要隔垫物的高度。
在本发明的实施例中, 为了维持液晶盒的厚度,得到对比度高、视角宽、 响应快的液晶面板, 可以在彩膜基板上设置分布均匀的隔垫物。
隔垫物可以分为主要隔垫物 7和次要隔垫物 8, 次要隔垫物 8的作用在 于当彩膜基板和阵列基板受到外力作用而改变厚度时, 使彩膜基板和阵列基 板快速恢复。 若只存在主要隔垫物 7, 而无次要隔垫物 8时, 当施加较大压 力使彩膜基板和阵列基板对盒时, 容易产生真空气泡, 在使用过程中还容易 产生重力不良。 主要隔垫物 7和次要隔垫物 8之间可以具有合适的高度差, 以达到最佳的支撑效果, 通常这一高度差为 0.3~0.5 μπι。
如图 6和图 7所示, 主要隔垫物 7位于黑矩阵图形 2的主区域 3上; 次 要隔垫物 8位于黑矩阵图形 2的辅区域 4上。
在本发明的实施例中, 在平坦层 6上制作主要隔垫物 7和次要隔垫物 8 的过程可以如下。
首先, 在平坦层 6上涂布例如光刻胶, 可以通过例如旋涂或狭缝涂布等 方式实现, 使整个平坦层 6上均勾覆盖一层光刻胶。
其次, 如图 8所示, 使用具有相应图案的隔垫物掩膜板 9进行覆盖。 隔 垫物掩膜板 9上均匀分布有对应于主要隔垫物 7的第一开口 10和对应于次要 隔垫物 8的第二开口 11。 由于开口尺寸越大, 在之后的曝光过程中, 曝光越 充分, 所得的隔垫物越高, 因此, 第一开口 10的尺寸大于第二开口 11的尺 寸。 同时, 在本发明实施例中, 第一开口 10和第二开口 11尺寸较为接近, 即第一开口 10与第二开口 11的尺寸相差较小。
再次, 利用隔垫物掩膜板 9对光刻胶进行曝光显影处理, 以形成主要隔 垫物 7和次要隔垫物 8, 由于隔垫物掩膜板 9上第一开口 10和第二开口 11 尺寸不同, 故经一定时间的曝光、 显影后, 即可在平坦层 6上获得主要隔垫 物 7和次要隔垫物 8。 主要隔垫物 7与次要隔垫物 8的高度差为 0.3~0.5μπι。
在本发明实施例中, 由于形成隔垫物时所用的掩膜板 9 上第一开口 10 尺寸和第二开口 11尺寸相差较小,使得形成的主要隔垫物 7和次要隔垫物 8 具有合适的高度差。 其原因如下所述。
主要隔垫物 7和次要隔垫物 8分别处于黑矩阵图形 2的主区域 3和辅区 域 4上, 而黑矩阵图形 2的主区域 3和辅区域 4具有不同的沿所述黑矩阵图 形的列方向的宽度。 由于黑矩阵图形 2上的主区域 3和辅区域 4沿所述黑矩 阵图形的列方向的宽度不同, 当在黑矩阵图形 2和彩色光阻图形 5上形成平 坦层 6时, 使得主要隔垫物 7处形成的平坦层 6的高度比次要隔垫物 8处平 坦层 6的高度高, 且更为平坦。 这样, 主要隔垫物 7与次要隔垫物 8在形成 之前, 其所在位置的平坦层 6已具有了高度差别, 基于此高度差别, 则形成 具有特定高度差异的主要隔垫物 7和次要隔垫物 8对应掩膜板的开口可以相 差较小。 因此, 在掩膜板上主要隔垫物 7和次要隔垫物 8掩膜板开口尺寸相 差较小的情况下, 进行曝光, 便能在彩膜基板上较容易形成具有高度差异而 尺寸接近的主要隔垫物 7和次要隔垫物 8。 并且由于两种隔垫物尺寸较为接 近, 制得的两种隔垫物的形貌更加均匀, 形貌均匀性的提升也提高了隔垫物 的支撑效果, 提高了显示品质。
例如, 在其他条件固定的前提下, 实验中的隔垫物的高度与所在位置的 黑矩阵图形 2的沿所述黑矩阵图形的列方向的宽度之间的实验结果如图 9所 示。 结果表明, 黑矩阵图形 2的沿所述黑矩阵图形的列方向的宽度越大, 在 该位置处形成的隔垫物越高。
此外, 液晶显示器在使用过程中容易产生静电, 从而影响液晶显示器的 内部电场, 导致液晶显示器画面失真。 通常, 可以在基板上未设置有黑矩阵 图形和彩色光阻图形的一面形成透明导电薄膜。 这样, 在不降低彩膜基板透 光性的前提下, 有效降低静电对液晶显示器画面的影响。 透明导电薄膜可釆 用氧化铟锡或者氧化铟辞等透明的导电物制成, 也可选用溅射、 蒸镀或等离 子体增强化学气相沉积等多种方式沉积透明导电薄膜。
利用如上所述的方法制作彩膜基板,在制作过程中使用普通掩膜板即可, 因而制作成本低; 同时由于黑矩阵图形的主区域的沿所述黑矩阵图形的列方 向的宽度 L大于黑矩阵图形的辅区域的沿所述黑矩阵图形的列方向的宽度 /, 使得主要隔垫物和次要隔垫物所在位置的平坦程度不同, 且由于主要隔垫物 所在位置的黑矩阵图形的宽度大, 进而, 主要隔垫物处形成的平坦层的高度 也比次要隔垫物处平坦层的高度高。 因此, 在掩膜板上主要隔垫物和次要隔 垫物开口尺寸相差较小的情况下, 进行曝光, 便能在彩膜基板上较容易形成 具有高度差异而尺寸接近的主要隔垫物和次要隔垫物, 且两种隔垫物的形貌 更加均匀, 能起到更好的支撑效果, 提高了显示品质。
在上述描述中, 例如, 彩膜基板上的黑矩阵图形的列方向对应于与彩膜 基板相对设置的阵列基板上的数据线的延伸方向相同, 而彩膜基板上的黑矩 阵图形的行方向则与阵列基板上的栅线的延伸方向相同。 例如, 黑矩阵图形 的行方向与列方向彼此垂直。
实施例二

需要说明的是, 黑矩阵图形包括主区域和辅区域, 例如, 任意一行黑矩 阵图形 2包括主区域 3和 /或辅区域 4, 例如, 这可以扩展为以下几种情形。
情形一、 如图 2所示, 至少一行黑矩阵图形 2只包括主区域 3, 其他行 黑矩阵图形 2只包括辅区域 4。

此外, 主区域 3沿黑矩阵图形 2的行方向的长度可以大于或等于主要隔 垫物 7的宽度, 辅区域 4沿黑矩阵图形 2的行方向的长度可以大于或等于次 要隔垫物 8的宽度。 例如, 如图 2和图 3所示, 主区域 3沿黑矩阵图形 2的 行方向的长度大于主要隔垫物 7的宽度, 辅区域 4沿黑矩阵图形 2的行方向 的长度大于次要隔垫物 8的宽度; 如图 4所示, 主区域 3沿黑矩阵图形 2的 行方向的长度等于主要隔垫物 7的宽度, 辅区域 4沿黑矩阵图形 2的行方向 的长度等于次要隔垫物 8的宽度。 此外, 还可以包括其他情况, 本发明实施 例不——列举。
在至少一个实施例中, 彩膜基板还可以包括彩色光阻图形 5, 彩色光阻 图形 5可以包括红色区域、 绿色区域和蓝色区域, 每个区域均为对应颜色的 经过有机颜料上色的树脂材料。
在至少一个实施例中, 彩膜基板还可以包括位于黑矩阵图形 2和彩色光 阻图形 5上的平坦层 6, 位于黑矩阵图形 2和彩色光阻图形 5上。 平坦层 6 可以包括透明保护层, 还可以包括透明导电层。

在一个示例中, 还可以在基板 1上未设置有黑矩阵图形 2和彩色光阻图 形 5的一面设置透明导电薄膜,其作用是在不降低彩膜基板透光性的前提下, 有效降低静电对液晶显示器画面的影响。 透明导电薄膜可釆用氧化铟锡或者 氧化铟辞等透明的导电物制成。
