为了使本公开的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本公开作进一步地详细描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例,仅用于说明和解释本公开,并不用于限定本公开。并且在不冲突的情况下,本公开中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。并且,基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
需要注意的是,附图中各部件的形状和大小不反映真实比例,目的只是示意说明本公开内容。并且自始至终相同或类似的标号表示相同或类似的元件或具有相同或类似功能的元件。
如图1所示,一般阵列基板可以包括衬底基板101,位于衬底基板101上的缓冲层105,位于缓冲层105远离衬底基板101一侧的层间绝缘层109,位于层间绝缘层109远离衬底基板101一侧的钝化层704,位于钝化层704远离衬底基板101一侧的有机层103,位于有机层103远离衬底基板101一侧的像素界定层706,位于缓冲层105与衬底基板101之间的遮光层104,位于缓冲层105远离衬底基板101一侧的有源层106且遮光层104在衬底基板101的正投影覆盖有源层106在衬底基板101的正投影,位于有源层106远离衬底基板101一侧的栅极绝缘层107,位于栅极绝缘层107远离衬底基板101一侧的栅极层108,位于栅极层108远离衬底基板101一侧的源漏极层110且源漏极层110位于钝化层704与层间绝缘层109之间,位于有机层103远离衬底基板101一侧的阳极层713且阳极层713位于像素界定层706与有机层103之间,位于阳极层713远离衬底基板101一侧的发光层112,位于发光层112远离衬底基板101一侧的阴极层715,位于阳极层713与钝化层704之间的彩色滤光片712,彩色滤光片712可以是红色滤光片或绿色滤光片或蓝色滤光片。源漏极层110通过贯穿层间绝缘层109的过孔与有源层106电连接。在源漏极层110还设置有信号线,信号线通过贯穿 层间绝缘层109与缓冲层105的过孔7031与遮光层104电连接。阳极层713通过贯穿有机层103与钝化层704的过孔7051与源漏极层110中的信号线电连接。
制作如图1所示阵列基板时,需要13道掩膜工序,导致掩膜工序次数较多,造成制作工艺繁琐,工艺成本增加。由于阵列基板上的薄膜晶体管容易受到底部和顶部的光源的光照,导致光照稳定性差;其中,背板底部的光源为环境光及阵列基板内部的反射光,顶部的光源为阵列基板中的发光层的自身发光。由于该光照稳定性问题存在,导致阵列基板的性能难以优化。
基于此,本公开实施例提供的阵列基板、显示面板、显示装置及其制作方法,用以减少制作阵列基板中所需的掩膜工序的次数,简化阵列基板的制作方法。并且,还可以减少显示面板的厚度,同时减少或避免发光层发出的光照射到阵列基板中薄膜晶体管,从而提高薄膜晶体管的光照稳定性,优化显示面板的性能。
如图2、图3所示,本公开实施例提供的一种阵列基板包括:衬底基板101、设置于衬底基板101一侧的多个像素单元,各像素单元可以包括:薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)150和电致发光结构160,及位于薄膜晶体管150和衬底基板101之间的遮光结构170;其中,薄膜晶体管150可以包括:位于遮光结构170远离衬底基板101一侧的有源层106;电致发光结构160可以包括:用于驱动像素单元的第一电极(图2中1041、图3中1061)。并且,遮光结构和有源层中之一与第一电极为通过同一掩膜版制作的同层结构。
本公开实施例提供的阵列基板,通过同一掩膜版制作第一电极与遮光结构,或者通过同一掩膜版制作第一电极与薄膜晶体管中的有源层,以使其同时形成,减少制作阵列基板中所需的掩膜工序的次数,从而可以简化阵列基板的制作方法。并且,还可以减少显示面板的厚度,同时还可以降低电致发光结构中位于第一电极上的发光层相对于衬底基板所处的位置,从而减少或避免发光层发出的光照射到阵列基板中的薄膜晶体管上,以提高薄膜晶体管的光照稳定性,优化显示面板的性能。
在具体实施时,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,第一电极例如可以为阳极,第二电极例如可以为阴极。
在具体实施时,在本公开实施例中,如图2与图3所示,电致发光结构160还可以包括:与第一电极(图2中1041、图3中1061)相对设置的第二电极113,及位于第一电极及第二电极113之间的发光层112。进一步地,薄膜晶体管150还可以包括:位于有源层106远离衬底基板101一侧的栅极绝缘层107、位于栅极绝缘层107远离衬底基板101一侧的栅极层108、位于栅极层108远离衬底基板101一侧的源漏极层110,位于源漏极层110和有源层106之间的层间绝缘层109;其中,源漏极层110具有源极和漏极,源极和漏极分别通过贯穿层间绝缘层109的过孔与有源层106电连接,漏极与第一电极电连接。
下面结合具体实施例,对本公开进行详细说明。需要说明的是,本实施例中是为了更好的解释本公开,但不限制本公开。
在一些可能的实施方式中,在具体实施时,在本公开实施例中,可以使第一电极与遮光结构设置为通过同一掩膜版制作的同层结构。进一步地,如图2所示,遮光结构170可以包括:位于薄膜晶体管150和衬底基板101之间的滤光片结构,以及位于滤光片结构和薄膜晶体管150之间的遮光层104;其中,第一电极1041与遮光结构170中的遮光层104为通过同一掩膜版制作的同层结构,采用的材料也可以相同。这样通过使与遮光层104采用同一掩膜版同层制作的第一电极1041作为电致发光结构160中的阳极,省去了单独做一层阳极的掩膜工序,减少了制作阵列基板中所需的掩膜工序的次数,从而简化了阵列基板的制作方法,减少了显示面板的厚度。并且,在显示面板点亮工作的过程中,TFT 150会受到从衬底基板101底部入射的自然光的照射(图2中自底端穿过衬底基板101向靠近TFT 150方向入射的黑色箭头表示从底端入射的自然光),光照会对TFT 150产生不良影响,通过在TFT 150与衬底基板101之间设置遮光层104,可以保护TFT 150不被底光照射到,从而提高了TFT 150的光照稳定性,优化了显示面板的性能。
一般氧化铟锡(ITO)对紫外光至蓝光区间的光具有较强的吸收作用,在具体实施时,图2中遮光层104和第一电极1041的制作材料例如可以为氧化铟锡(ITO)。这样采用ITO作为遮光层的制作材料,可以减少或避免紫外光至蓝光区间的光照射到TFT 105,以实现保护TFT 105不受光照。并且,还能作为电致发光结构160的第一电极使用,以减少制作阵列基板所需的MASK工序的次数。
在具体实施时,本公开实施例提供的上述阵列基板中,结合图2与图4所示,相比图1所示的结构,将原有的发光层112降低到了位置7142,可以降低电致发光结构160中发光层相对于衬底基板101所处的位置,从而可以使发光层与遮光层相对于衬底基板而言几乎处于同一高度,减少了或避免了发光层发出的光照射到阵列基板中薄膜晶体管上,从而提高了TFT 150的光照稳定性,优化了显示面板的性能。图2中504为TFT 150所在的TFT电路区域,506为电致发光结构160所在的发光区域。图4中其他附图标记与图1所表示的结构相同。
在具体实施时,在本公开实施例中,如图2所示,滤光片结构可以包括:位于衬底基板101同侧的第一颜色滤光片201,和/或位于第一颜色滤光片201之上的第二颜色滤光片202,和/或位于第二颜色滤光片202之上的第三颜色滤光片203,即遮光片结构可以包括第一颜色滤光片201,第二颜色滤光片202及第三颜色滤光片203中的一个或任意组合。这样通过在遮光层104与衬底基板101之间设置至少一层滤光片,进一步保护TFT 150不被底光照射到,进一步提高了TFT 150的光照稳定性,优化了显示面板的性能。同时滤光片结构对自然光中的紫外线有吸收效果,减少了或避免紫外线照射到TFT 150。具体地,可以仅使滤光片结构包括:第一颜色滤光片201或第二颜色滤光片202或第三颜色滤光片203。或者,如图2所示,也可以使滤光片结构包括:第一颜色滤光片201、第二颜色滤光片202以及第三颜色滤光片203。图2所示结构仅为本公开实施例提供的显示面板的一种可选的实施方式,本不对本公开进行限定。
在具体实施时,图2所示的阵列基板还可以包括:位于遮光层104与滤光片结构之间的有机层103、位于遮光层104与有源层106之间的缓冲层105。其中,遮光层104在衬底基板101的正投影覆盖有源层106在衬底基板101的正投影。进一步地,为了避免遮光层对显示的影响,可以使遮光层104在衬底基板101的正投影与有源层106在衬底基板101的正投影重叠。
进一步地,为了实现彩色显示,如图2所示,阵列基板还可以包括:位于电致发光结构160与衬底基板101之间的用于滤光的滤光片2011。进一步地,可以使滤光片2011位于衬底基板101与有机层103之间。进一步地,可以使第一颜色滤光片201、第二颜色滤光片202及第三颜色滤光片203中之一与滤光片2011设置为通过同一掩膜版制作的同层结构,采用的材料也可以相同。这样可以使滤光片2011为第一颜色滤光片201或第二颜色滤光片202或第三颜色滤光片203,以用于进行滤光。具体地可以根据所对应的发光层112所需颜色而定。
在具体实施时,第一颜色滤光片201、第二颜色滤光片202及第三颜色滤光片203可以分别为红色滤光片、绿色滤光片及蓝色滤光片。在实际应用中,第一颜色滤光片201、第二颜色滤光片202及第三颜色滤光片203三者之间的上下设置的位置关系可以根据需要设置,在衬底基板101之上可以设置第一颜色滤光片201、第二颜色滤光片202及第三颜色滤光片203中的任意一个或两个或三个滤光片作为遮光结构使用,这里设置的遮光结构可以用于遮挡从阵列基板底部入射的光照射到TFT 150,并不用于滤光,三者的上下设置的位置关系或设置多少层不影响遮光结构的性能,因此不做限定,可根据需要而定。
在具体实施时,在本公开实施例中,如图2与图5所示,阵列基板还可以包括:位于有源层106远离衬底基板101一侧的包围层;其中,包围层环形设置于发光层112的***,以形成全包围结构。这样在发光层的***形成全包围结构,使得包围层挡住发光层发出的光,并且将发光层发出的光反射回电致发光结构中,提高了电致发光结构的出光率的同时,避免发光层发出 的光从侧向照射到薄膜晶体管上。
在具体实施时,在本公开实施例中,如图2与图5所示,可以使包围层与源漏极层110设置为通过同一掩膜版制作的同层结构。这样通过利用阵列基板上的薄膜晶体管中的源漏极层,在阵列基板上的电致发光结构中的发光层的***形成全包围结构,从而可以同时制作源漏极层和包围层,进而简化制作工艺流程。进一步地,包围层与源漏极层110中的漏极电连接,以使第一电极与包围层电连接。
进一步地,具体实施时,如图2所示,本公开实施例提供的上述阵列基板,源漏极层110在平行于衬底基板101的面上可以高于发光层112。这样设置使得在发光层112的***形成全包围结构的包围层更加严实地遮挡住发光层112发出的光,同时将发光层112发出的光反射回电致发光结构中,从而提高了电致发光结构的出光率,保护了TFT 150不受到光照的影响。
进一步地,在具体实施时,如图2所示,阵列基板还可以包括:位于第一电极1041与发光层112之间的层结构111,该层结构111可以作为钝化层和像素界定层。其中,该层结构111的制作材料例如可以包括氧化硅,由此起到了保护TFT 150的钝化层的作用。不起,层结构111可以设置于第一电极1041与发光层112之间,因此也可以起到像素界定层的作用,相比现有技术,可以将现有技术中需要两道掩膜工序制作的钝化层和像素界定层通过一层两用的方式以一道掩膜工序完成,从而进一步减少了制作阵列基板中所需的掩膜工序的次数,简化了阵列基板的制作方法,减少了显示面板的厚度。
进一步地,在具体实施时,本公开实施例提供的上述阵列基板,层结构111的制作材料例如可以包括氧化硅,由于氧化硅是疏水材料,有利于在层结构111上喷墨打印发光层的均匀性。当然,制作层结构111的制作材料不限于氧化硅,具体可根据需要设计,在此不做限定。
进一步地,在具体实施时,本公开实施例提供的上述阵列基板中有源层106的制作材料例如可以包括铟镓锌氧化物(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,IGZO)。
进一步地,在具体实施时,本公开实施例提供的上述阵列基板中缓冲层105的制作材料例如可包括有机材料。该有机材料可以包括:高阻水、阻氧的有机材料。这样通过使用高阻水、阻氧的有机材料制作缓冲层105,防止水、氧通过缓冲层对有源层106造成不良影响,从而防止了水、氧对TFT 150造成不良影响。
在另一些可能的实施方式中,在具体实施时,如图3所示,可以使第一电极1061与有源层106设置为通过同一掩膜版制作的同层结构,采用的材料也可以相同。这样使与有源层106采用同一掩膜版同层制作的第一电极1061作为电致发光结构260中的阳极,省去了单独做一层阳极的掩膜工序,减少了制作阵列基板中所需的掩膜工序的次数,从而简化了阵列基板的制作方法,减少了显示面板的厚度。并且,需要说明的是,本实施例对应的阵列基板的结构示意图如图3所示,其针对图2所示的阵列基板的部分结构的实施方式进行了变形。下面仅说明图3与图2所示的阵列基板的区别之处,其相同之处在此不作赘述。
在具体实施时,本公开实施例提供的上述阵列基板中,结合图3与图4所示,相比图1所示的结构,将原有的发光层112降低到了位置7141,降低了电致发光结构260中发光层相对于衬底基板101所处的位置,让发光层与有源层106相对于衬底基板101而言几乎处于同一高度,减少了或避免了发光层112发出的光照射到阵列基板中薄膜晶体管150,从而提高了TFT 150的光照稳定性,优化了显示面板的性能。图3中504为TFT 150所在的TFT电路区域,506为电致发光结构260所在的发光区域。图4中其他附图标记与图1所表示的结构相同。
在具体实施时,在本公开实施例中,如图3所示,阵列基板还可以包括:位于有源层106与衬底基板101之间的缓冲层105。遮光结构270位于缓冲层105与衬底基板101之间。进一步地,遮光结构270可以包括:位于衬底基板101同侧的第一颜色滤光片201,和/或位于第一颜色滤光片201之上的第二颜色滤光片202,和/或位于第二颜色滤光片202之上的第三颜色滤光片203,即 遮光结构270可以包括第一颜色滤光片201,第二颜色滤光片202及第三颜色滤光片203中的一个或任意组合。这样通过在薄膜晶体管150与衬底基板101之间设置至少一层滤光片,可以保护TFT 150不被底光照射到,提高了TFT 150的光照稳定性,优化了显示面板的性能。具体地,可以仅使遮光结构270包括:第一颜色滤光片201或第二颜色滤光片202或第三颜色滤光片203。或者,如图3所示,也可以使遮光结构270包括:第一颜色滤光片201、第二颜色滤光片202以及第三颜色滤光片203。图3所示结构仅为本公开实施例提供的显示面板的一种可选的实施方式,本不对本公开进行限定。
在显示面板工作的过程中,TFT 150会受到从衬底基板101底部入射的自然光的照射(图3中自底端穿过衬底基板101向靠近TFT 150方向入射的黑色箭头表示从底端入射的自然光),光照会对TFT 150产生不良影响,通过在TFT 150与衬底基板101之间设置遮光结构270以作为遮光层,用以保护TFT 150不被底光入射到,从而提高了TFT 150的光照稳定性,从而优化了显示面板的性能。并且,遮光结构270还可以对自然光中的紫外线有吸收效果,减少了或避免了紫外线照射到TFT 150。
在具体实施时,如图3所示,阵列基板还可以包括:位于电致发光结构260与衬底基板101之间的用于滤光的滤光片2011。进一步地,可以使滤光片2011位于衬底基板101与缓冲层105之间。进一步地,可以使第一颜色滤光片201、第二颜色滤光片202及第三颜色滤光片203中之一与滤光片2011设置为通过同一掩膜版制作的同层结构,采用的材料也可以相同。这样可以使滤光片2011为第一颜色滤光片201或第二颜色滤光片202或第三颜色滤光片203,以用于进行绿光。具体地可以根据所对应的发光层112所需颜色而定。通过将第一颜色滤光片201或第二颜色滤光片202或第三颜色滤光片203与滤光片2011同层设置,作为遮光层使用,省去了在滤光片2011所在层之上再单独设置一层遮光层的掩膜工序,进一步减少了阵列基板所需的掩膜工序的次数。
需要说明的是,第一颜色滤光片201、第二颜色滤光片202及第三颜色滤 光片203可以分别为红色滤光片、绿色滤光片及蓝色滤光片,具体地,第一颜色滤光片201、第二颜色滤光片202及第三颜色滤光片203三者之间的上下设置的位置关系可以根据需要设置,在衬底基板101之上可以设置第一颜色滤光片201、第二颜色滤光片202及第三颜色滤光片203中的任意一个或两个或三个滤光片作为遮光层使用,这里设置第一颜色滤光片201,和/或第二颜色滤光片202,和/或第三颜色滤光片203,作为遮光结构遮挡从阵列基板底部入射的光照射到TFT 150,并不用于滤光,三者的上下设置的位置关系或设置多少层不影响遮光结构的性能,因此不做限定,可根据需要而定。
在具体实施时,在本公开实施例中,如图3与图5所示,阵列基板还可以包括:位于有源层106远离衬底基板101一侧的包围层;其中,包围层环形设置于发光层112的***,以形成全包围结构。这样在发光层的***形成全包围结构,使得包围层挡住发光层发出的光,并且将发光层发出的光反射回电致发光结构中,提高了电致发光结构的出光率的同时,避免发光层发出的光从侧向照射到薄膜晶体管上。
在具体实施时,在本公开实施例中,如图3与图5所示,可以使包围层与源漏极层110为通过同一掩膜版制作的同层结构。这样通过利用阵列基板上的薄膜晶体管中的源漏极层,在阵列基板上的电致发光结构中的发光层的***形成全包围结构,从而可以同时制作源漏极层和包围层,进而简化制作工艺流程。进一步地,包围层与源漏极层110中的漏极电连接。
进一步地,具体实施时,如图3所示,本公开实施例提供的上述阵列基板,源漏极层110在平行于衬底基板101的面上可以高于发光层112。这样设置使得在发光层112的***形成全包围结构的包围层更加严实地遮挡住发光层112发出的光,同时将发光层112发出的光反射回电致发光结构中,从而提高了电致发光结构的出光率,保护了TFT 150不受到光照的影响。
进一步地,在具体实施时,如图2所示,阵列基板还可以包括:位于第一电极1041与发光层112之间的层结构111,该层结构111可以作为钝化层和像素界定层。其中,该层结构111的制作材料例如可以包括氧化硅,由此 起到了保护TFT 150的钝化层的作用。不起,层结构111可以设置于第一电极1041与发光层112之间,因此也可以起到像素界定层的作用,相比现有技术,可以将现有技术中需要两道掩膜工序制作的钝化层和像素界定层通过一层两用的方式以一道掩膜工序完成,从而进一步减少了制作阵列基板中所需的掩膜工序的次数,简化了阵列基板的制作方法,减少了显示面板的厚度。
