随着显示技术的发展,光检测单元可以集成在阵列基板上,以使阵列基板能够实现光检测功能。例如,集成有光检测单元的阵列基板能够检测该阵列基板所处环境的环境光,又例如,集成有光检测单元的阵列基板能够检测该阵列基板的发光单元发出的光线。目前,集成有光检测单元的阵列基板包括:衬底基板以及位于衬底基板上的发光单元、光检测单元和薄膜晶体管(英文:Thin Film Transistor;简称:TFT),衬底基板具有阵列排布的多个像素区,目前,每个像素区中设置有一个发光单元、一个光检测单元和两个TFT,两个TFT同层分布,发光单元和光检测单元由该两个TFT分别独立控制。
但是,这样的阵列基板的TFT的数量较多,导致阵列基板的结构复杂。并 且由于两个TFT同层分布,因此发光单元和光检测单元在像素区的占比较低,导致阵列基板的像素填充率和检测分辨率均较低。
请参考图1和图2,图1是本申请实施例提供的一种阵列基板的正视图,图2是图1所示的阵列基板的a-a部位的剖视图,参见图1和图2,该阵列基板包括:衬底基板11,衬底基板11具有像素区P;位于像素区P中的光检测单元12、开关单元13和发光单元14,光检测单元12与发光单元14共用开关单元13。
本领域技术人员容易理解,衬底基板11具有阵列排布的多个像素区P,在本申请实施例中,每个像素区P中设置有一个光检测单元12、一个开关单元13和一个发光单元14,每个像素区P中的光检测单元12和发光单元14共用该像素区P中的开关单元13。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的阵列基板,由于在像素区中,发光单元与光检测单元共用一个开关单元,因此有助于减少阵列基板上的开关单元的数量,简化阵列基板的结构。
可选地,光检测单元12具有感光侧,开关单元13位于背离光检测单元12的感光侧的一侧,开关单元13与光检测单元12绝缘,光检测单元12在衬底基板11上的正投影与开关单元13在衬底基板11上的正投影至少部分重叠,开关单元13与发光单元14电连接。可选地,光检测单元12的感光侧为光检测单元12靠近衬底基板11的一侧,则如图2所示,开关单元13位于背离光检测单元12的感光侧的一侧也即是开关单元13位于光检测单元12远离衬底基板11的一侧。在光线的照射下,光检测单元12可以产生电流,光检测单元12产生的电流可以影响开关单元13的输出电流,当开关单元13工作在开启过渡区时,光检测单元12产生的电流对开关单元13的输出电流的影响较为明显,因此可以根据开关单元13工作在开启过渡区时,开关单元13的输出电流的变化量来确定照射至光检测单元12的光照强度(也即是照射至光检测单元12的光线的强度)。在本申请实施例中,可以控制开关单元13工作在开启过渡区,使开关单元13控制光检测单元12进行光检测,并且由于开关单元13与发光单元14电连接,开关单元13可以控制发光单元14发光,从而开关单元13可以对光检测单元12和发光单元14进行控制,实现光检测单元12与发光单元14共用开关单元13。其中,开启过渡区为开关单元的开启区与关闭区之间的区域,例如TFT的开启区与关闭区之间的区域为亚阈值摆幅(英文:Subthreshold swing;简称: SS)区,当开关单元为TFT时,该开启过渡区可以为SS区。
可选地,光检测单元12在衬底基板11上的正投影与开关单元13在衬底基板11上的正投影至少部分重叠。例如,开关单元13在衬底基板11上的正投影覆盖光检测单元12在衬底基板11上的正投影。由于开关单元13位于光检测单元12远离衬底基板11的一侧,光检测单元12在衬底基板11上的正投影与开关单元13在衬底基板11上的正投影至少部分重叠,因此开关单元13与光检测单元12垂直分布,有助于减小开关单元13在像素区P中的占用面积,提高阵列基板的像素填充率和检测分辨率。其中,垂直分布指的是沿与衬底基板11的板面垂直的方向分布。容易理解,当开关单元13在衬底基板11上的正投影覆盖光检测单元12在衬底基板11上的正投影时,有助于在最大范围内减小开关单元13在像素区P中的占用面积,提高阵列基板的像素填充率和检测分辨率。
可选地,如图2所示,光检测单元12包括沿靠近开关单元13的方向依次叠加的第一电极121、感光层122和第二电极123;开关单元13包括有源层131,以及位于有源层131远离光检测单元12的一侧的控制极132、第一极133和第二极134,第一极133和第二极134中的其中一个为源极,另一个为漏极,第一极133和第二极134分别与有源层131电连接。由于阵列基板根据光线的照射下,光检测单元12产生的电流对开关单元13的输出电流的影响确定照射至光检测单元12的光照强度,从而进行光检测,而开关单元13的输出电流与有源层131相关,若控制极132位于有源层131靠近光检测单元12的一侧,则控制极132会将有源层131屏蔽,导致光检测单元12产生的电流对开关单元13的输出电流的影响减小甚至消失,难以实现光检测。本申请实施例中,由于控制极132位于有源层131远离光检测单元12的一侧,因此有助于避免控制极132将有源层131屏蔽,从而避免光检测单元12产生的电流对开关单元13的输出电流的影响减小甚至消失,便于实现光检测。在本申请实施例中,照射至光检测单元12的光线可以是发光单元14发射的光线,也可以是阵列基板所处环境中的光线,本申请实施例对此不作限定。

可选地,第二电极123的材料可以为遮光材料,第二电极123在衬底基板11上的正投影与有源层131在衬底基板11上的正投影至少部分重叠。可选地,第二电极123在衬底基板11上的正投影覆盖有源层131在衬底基板11上的正投影,这样一来,第二电极123可以作为遮光(英文:Light shield;简称:LS)层对有源层131进行遮挡,避免光线从衬底基板11所在侧照射至有源层131影响有源层131的特性,从而避免光照对开关单元13的开关特性的影响。

可选地,发光单元14可以为电致发光单元,如图1所示,发光单元14包括沿远离衬底基板11的方向依次叠加的阳极141、电致发光层142和阴极143,阳极141与第一极133电连接。其中,电致发光单元可以为有机发光二极管(英文:Organic Light-Emitting Diode;简称:OLED)单元或量子点发光二极管(英文:Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes;简称:QLED)单元,阳极141的材料可以为金属Mg、金属Ag、金属Mo、金属Cu、金属Al、金属Au及其合金材料;阴极143的材料可以为ITO、IZO或金属Ag等导电材料,例如,阴极143为ITO/Ag/ITO的多层结构,其中ITO膜层的厚度为8nm,Ag膜层的厚度为100nm。本领域技术人员容易理解,电致发光单元包括两个电极以及夹设在两个电极之间的电致发光层,本申请实施例以该两个电极包括阳极141和阴极143,且与开关单元13的第一极133电连接的电极为阳极,未与开关单元13电连接的电极为阴极为例说明,实际应用中,阴极可以是与开关单元13的第一极133电连接的电极,而阳极可以是未与开关单元13电连接的电极,并且在不同的场景下,上述两个电极的名称还可以是其他名称。此外,图1和图2中示出的发光单元14仅仅是示例性的,实际应用中,发光单元14还可以包括空穴注入层、空穴传输层、电子传输层和电子注入层等,本申请实施例在此不再赘述。
可选地,如图1所示,该阵列基板还包括多条栅线19和多条数据线20,多条栅线19和多条数据线20绝缘交叉限定多个像素区P,开关单元13的控制极132(例如栅极)可以与栅线19电连接,开关单元13的第二极134(例如源极) 可以与数据线20电连接,栅线19用于向控制极132施加控制电压,数据线20用于向第二极134施加数据电压。可选地,栅线19与控制极132可以同层分布,且栅线19与控制极132可以通过同一次构图工艺制备,数据线20与第二极134同层分布,且数据线20与第二极134可以通过同一次构图工艺制备。

可选地,如图2所示,光检测单元12、开关单元13和发光单元14沿远离衬底基板11的方向依次分布。请参考图3和图4,图4是本申请实施例提供的另一种阵列基板的正视图,图4是图2所示的阵列基板的a-a部位的剖视图,参见图4,在图2的基础上,该阵列基板还包括封装层18,封装层18位于发光单元14远离衬底基板11的一侧,封装层18覆盖发光单元14以及像素界定层17,该封装层18用于封装该阵列基板的发光单元14。可选地,封装层18可以为薄膜封装(英文:Thin Film Encapsulation;简称:TFE)层或者封装盖板,TFE层可以包括交替叠加的无机层和有机层,无机层的材料可以为SiO 2、SiOx、SiNx、Al 2O 3或SiOxNx等透明绝缘材料,有机层的材料可以为有机树脂,封装盖板可以是采用玻璃等材料制备的盖板,本申请实施例对此不作限定。

在本申请实施例中,光检测单元12可以在开关单元13的控制下进行光检测,下面结合图1至图4,对光检测单元12进行光检测的原理进行说明。
光检测单元12为具有PIN层(也即是感光层122)的光电二极管,该光检测单元12也可以称为PIN结光电二极管,该光检测单元12对光照十分敏感,可以准确感测到光信号,并基于光生伏特效应(英文:photovoltaic effect)将光信号转换为电信号。在光检测单元12中,第一电极121用于感测光信号,因此第一电极121可以称为光检测单元12的光敏电极(或称为光敏面、感光面等)。请参考图5,其示出了本申请实施例提供的一种光检测单元12进行光检测的原理图,在图5中,P区对应光检测单元12的P型半导体层,I区对应光检测单元12的本征半导体层,N区对应光检测单元12的N型半导体层,该光检测单元12的工作原理为:当光线照射到第一电极121上时,该光线的能量会使得P区的电子和N区的电子发生跃迁产生电子-空穴对,在I区的内电场的作用下,电子(能量为hv)向带有正电的N区移动并累积在N区,空穴向带有负电的P区移动并累积在P区,使P区和N区之间产生电压差(又称为光生偏压),第一电极121和第二电极123(也即是LS层)均具有一定电势。
请参考图6,其示出了光线照射至第一电极121时,光照时间t与第一电极121的电势U1的曲线图,其中,曲线Q1表示波长为600纳米的光线照射至第一电极121时,光照时间t与第一电极121的电势U1的变化关系,曲线Q2表示波长为800纳米的光线照射至第一电极121时,光照时间t与第一电极121的电势U1的变化关系,曲线Q3表示波长为900纳米的光线照射至第一电极121时,光照时间t与第一电极121的电势U1的变化关系,曲线Q4表示波长为1200 纳米的光线照射至第一电极121时,光照时间t与第一电极121的电势U1的变化关系,曲线Q5表示白光照射至第一电极121时,光照时间t与第一电极121的电势U1的变化关系,参见图6可以看出,不同波长的光线照射至第一电极121时,第一电极121产生的电势U1不同。
光照可以引起第一电极121和第二电极123(也即是LS层)的电势发生变化,第二电极123的电势发生变化可以引起开关单元13的控制电压(也即是控制极132的电压,例如栅电压)Vg发生变化,开关单元13的控制电压Vg发生变化可以引起开关单元13的输出电流Id发生变化,因此可以根据光照引起的开关单元13的输出电流Id的变化量,确定照射至第一电极121的光照强度(也即是照射至第一电极121的光线的强度),从而实现光检测。请参考图7,其示出了开关单元13的控制电压Vg与输出电流Id的变化曲线图,U2表示第二电极123的电势,每条曲线对应一个U2,U2按照箭头所示方向增大,可以看出,不同U2对应的曲线不同,因此第二电极123的电势对开关单元13的阈值电压Vth有显著影响。
请参考图8,其示出了本申请实施例提供的一种阵列基板的等效电路图,在图8中,bias表示光检测单元12的第一电极121,LS表示光检测单元12的第二电极123,开关单元13的控制极(例如栅极,英文:Gate)与阵列基板中的栅线(图8中未示出)电连接,开关单元13的第二极S(例如源极)与阵列基板中的数据线(图8中未示出)电连接,开关单元13的第一极D(例如漏极)与发光单元14电连接,此外,开关单元13的第一极D还与位于阵列基板外部的光检测组件电连接,该光检测组件可以为芯片,或者芯片中的功能组件,该芯片可以是集成电路芯片。请参考图9,其示出了本申请实施例提供的一种开关单元13的转移特性曲线图,该图9以开关单元13为TFT为例,则开关单元13的开启过渡区也即是SS区,光线照射至光检测单元12的第一电极121时,光检测单元12产生的光生偏压对开关单元13的影响较小,因此开关单元13的输出电流Id的变化量通常较小,当开关单元13工作在关闭(OFF)区或开启(ON)区时,照射至光检测单元12的第一电极121的光线引起的开关单元13的输出电流Id的变化量通常难于测量,而当开关单元13工作在SS区时,照射至光检测单元12的第一电极121的光线引起的开关单元13的输出电流Id的变化量易于测量,因此可以根据开关单元13工作在SS区时,照射至光检测单元12的第一电极121的光线引起的开关单元13的输出电流Id的变化量确定照射至光检测 单元12的第一电极121的光照强度,也即是,可以控制开关单元13工作在SS区,来利用开关单元13控制光检测单元13进行光检测。其中,根据照射至光检测单元12的第一电极121的光线引起的开关单元13的输出电流Id的变化量确定光照强度的过程可以由图8中的光检测组件执行。结合图8和图9,在本申请实施例中,当开关单元13工作在ON区时,开关单元13处于开启状态,开关单元13控制发光单元14发光,当开关单元13工作在OFF区时,开关单元13处于关闭状态,当开关单元13工作在SS区时,开关单元13处于开启状态与关闭状态之间,开关单元13控制光检测单元13进行光检测。
下面结合图1至图9,对开关单元13控制发光单元14发光,以及开关单元13控制光检测单元12进行光检测的过程进行说明。
开关单元13控制光检测单元12进行光检测的过程可以包括:首先,向光检测单元12的第一电极121(也即是bias)施加正电压使PIN层(也即是感光层122)正偏,去除PIN层中的残余电荷(PIN层正偏时相当于导线,因此PIN层中存储的电荷被导出);然后,向开关单元13施加控制电压Vg使开关单元13工作在SS区,向检测单元12的第一电极121施加负电压使PIN层反偏,PIN层反偏时相当于电容,可以存储电荷;当光线照射至第一电极121时,PIN层中存储电荷而产生偏压(可参考上述光检测单元12的工作原理),使得第二电极123的电势发生变化,从而引起开关单元13的阈值电压Vth漂移,在开关单元13的阈值电压Vth漂移而开关单元13的控制电压Vg不变的情况下,开关单元13的输出电流Id会在SS区内变化,可以确定光照前后开关单元13的输出电流Id的变化量,并根据光照前后开关单元13的输出电流Id的变化量确定照射至第一电极121的光照强度。实验证明,本申请实施例提供的阵列基板检测到的信号强度比传统的阵列基板检测到的信号强度大2~3个数量级,甚至4个数量级,因此本申请实施例提供的阵列基板有利于实现高分辨率检测。
开关单元13控制发光单元14发光的过程可以包括:向开关单元13施加控制电压Vg使开关单元13工作在ON区,向检测单元12的第一电极121施加正电压使PIN层正偏,此时,开关单元13控制发光单元14开启从而使发光单元14发光。由于在开关单元13工作在ON区时,PIN层产生的压差对开关单元13的输出电流的影响较小甚至没有影响,因此在开关单元13工作在ON区时,PIN层的光生偏压不会对发光单元14的发光效果产生影响,从而不会对阵列基板的显示效果产生影响,因此光检测单元12和发光单元14可以共用开关单元13。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的阵列基板,由于在像素区中,发光单元与光检测单元共用一个开关单元,因此有助于减少阵列基板上的开关单元的数量,简化阵列基板的结构。

综上所述,本申请实施例提供的阵列基板的制造方法,由于在像素区中,发光单元与光检测单元共用一个开关单元,因此有助于减少阵列基板上的开关单元的数量,简化阵列基板的结构。本申请实施例提供的阵列基板的制造方法,由于先制作光检测单元而后制作开关单元,因此可以避免制备光检测单元的过程对开关单元的有源层的影响。
下述为本申请的光检测方法的实施例,本申请中光检测方法和原理可以参见下文各实施例中的描述。
请参考图17,其示出了本申请实施例提供的一种光检测方法的方法流程图,该光检测方法可以用于上述实施例提供的阵列基板,该阵列基板的每个像素区中设置有光检测单元、开关单元和发光单元,每个像素区中的光检测单元与该像素区中的发光单元共用该像素区中的开关单元。其中,该光检测单元包括第一电极、感光层和第二电极,该光检测方法可以由光检测组件来执行。参见图17,该方法可以包括如下步骤:
在步骤301中、控制开关单元工作在开启过渡区,开启过渡区为开关单元 的开启区与关闭区之间的区域。
在步骤302中、向光检测单元的第一电极施加电压,使光检测单元的第二电极具有电势,其中,在照射至第一电极的光线的作用下,第二电极的电势变化,引起开关单元的输出电流变化。
在步骤303中、确定开关单元的输出电流的变化量。
在步骤304中、根据开关单元的输出电流的变化量,确定照射至第一电极的光照强度。
可选地,照射至第一电极的光线是经过指纹反射后的光线,在步骤303之后,该方法还包括:根据多个开关单元的输出电流的变化量,进行指纹检测。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的光检测方法,由于在阵列基板的每个像素区中,发光单元与光检测单元共用一个开关单元,因此有助于减少阵列基板上的开关单元的数量,简化阵列基板的结构。
请参考图18,其示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种光检测方法的方法流程图,该光检测方法可以用于上述实施例提供的阵列基板,该阵列基板的每个像素区中设置有光检测单元、开关单元和发光单元,每个像素区中的光检测单元与该像素区中的发光单元共用该像素区中的开关单元。其中,该光检测单元包括第一电极、感光层和第二电极,该光检测方法可以由光检测组件来执行。参见图18,该方法可以包括如下步骤:
在步骤401中、控制开关单元工作在开启过渡区,开启过渡区为开关单元的开启区与关闭区之间的区域。
可选地,光检测组件可以与开关单元的控制极(例如栅极)电连接,光检测组件可以向开关单元施加控制电压(例如栅电压),使开关单元工作在开启过渡区。当开关单元工作在开启过渡区时,通过开关单元传输至发光单元的电流不足以使发光单元开启,因此发光单元处于关闭状态,发光单元不发光。其中,开启过渡区为开关单元的开启区与关闭区之间的区域,当开关单元为TFT时,该开启过渡区也即是亚阈值摆幅区。
在步骤402中、向光检测单元的第一电极施加电压,使光检测单元的第二电极具有电势,其中,在照射至第一电极的光线的作用下,第二电极的电势变化,引起开关单元的输出电流变化。
可选地,光检测组件可以与光检测单元的第一电极电连接,光检测组件可 以向光检测单元的第一电极施加电压,向第一电极施加电压后,光检测组件的感光层(例如PIN层)可以累积电荷,使光检测组件的第二电极具有电势。
本申请实施例中,当光线照射到第一电极上时,光检测单元会产生光生偏压,该光生偏压可以使得第二电极的电势变化,第二电极的电势变化会引起开关单元的输出电流变化,具体的原理可以参考图5至图9的相关描述。
可选地,在步骤402之前,可以向光检测单元的第一电极施加正电压使感光层正偏,以去除感光层中的残余电荷,接着再执行该步骤402,以避免感光层中的残余电荷对光检测过程的影响。
在步骤403中、确定开关单元的输出电流的变化量。
可选地,当开关单元为TFT时,开关单元的输出电流也即是开关单元的漏电流。光检测组件可以与开关单元的第一极(也即是漏极)电连接,开关单元的输出电流会通过开关单元的第一极传输至光检测组件,光检测组件可以根据光照之前开关单元的输出电流的大小和光照之后开关单元的输出电流的大小,确定开关单元的输出电流的变化量。
在步骤404中、根据开关单元的输出电流的变化量,确定照射至第一电极的光照强度。
其中,照射至第一电极的光照强度也即是照射至第一电极的光线的强度。
可选地,光检测单元可以维护电流变化量与光照强度的关联关系,光检测单元可以根据开关单元的输出电流的变化量和电流变化量与光照强度的关联关系,确定照射至第一电极的光照强度。
在步骤405中、根据多个开关单元的输出电流的变化量,进行指纹检测。
当手指按压在阵列基板的出光面(例如衬底基板)上时,手指的指纹可以对阵列基板发射出的光线进行反射产生反射光线,反射光线可以射入至少一个像素区的光检测单元,且经过指纹的“脊”和“沟”反射形成的反射光线不同,经过指纹的“脊”和“沟”反射形成的反射光线可以射入不同像素区的光检测单元,引起该不同的像素区的开关单元的输出电流发生变化,该不同的像素区的开关单元的输出电流的变化量不同,因此可以根据不同像素区的开关单元的输出电流的变化量,成像出指纹的“脊”和“沟”的轮廓,从而实现指纹检测。
在本申请实施例中,光检测单元还可以对阵列基板所处环境光进行检测,光检测单元可以将检测到的环境光强度传输至光检测组件,当该阵列基板应用于手机等智能终端时,光检测组件可以根据光检测单元检测到的环境光强度, 调节智能终端的屏幕亮度,实现智能终端对屏幕亮度的自动调节,本申请实施例在此不再赘述。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的光检测方法,由于在阵列基板的每个像素区中,发光单元与光检测单元共用一个开关单元,因此有助于减少阵列基板上的开关单元的数量,简化阵列基板的结构。
