具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本公开的一些实施例进行描述。显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的一些实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本公开实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
请参阅图1~图4,本公开的一些实施例提供了一种柔性显示面板100,该柔性显示面板100包括:柔性基板110、胶层120、可拉伸底膜130和多个第一离型剂膜140。
该柔性基板110包括多个显示单元1和多个连接单元2,其中,每相邻的两个显示单元1通过至少一个连接单元2连接。
此处,所述多个显示单元1中每相邻的两个显示单元1之间具有间隔,所述多个连接单元2中每相连的两个连接单元2具有间隔。由此,柔性基板110中具有因多个上述间隔而形成的多个开口S,也即柔性基板110具有一定的镂空率,以使其在被拉伸的情况下较易沿拉伸方向(例如图3中方向AB)伸展开。并且,在柔性基板110被拉伸的情况下,所述多个连接单元1产生扭转变形,能够使其对应的各开口S的沿拉伸方向的尺寸增加,也即有效分散了柔性基板110中的拉伸应力。因此,如上所述的柔性基板110具有较好的拉伸性能。
胶层120设置于可拉伸底膜130的一侧表面上,所述多个显示单元1与胶层120黏接。由此可知,柔性基板110通过胶层120黏接于可拉伸底膜130的一侧表面上。可拉伸底膜130能够将黏接于其上的柔性基板110的各显示单元1固定在同一个平面内,以保证各显示单元1在柔性显示面板100处于拉伸状态下仍能够处于所述同一平面内,从而避免各显示单元1因处于不同的平面之内而出现显示相位差,这样能够降低甚至避免柔性显示面板100的各显示单元1出现显示不一致的情况,有利于确保柔性显示面板的显示效果。
所述多个第一离型剂膜设置于所述多个连接单元与所述胶层之间,所述多个第一离型剂膜与所述多个连接单元一一对应,所述多个连接单元中的每个连接单元2在可拉伸底膜130上的正投影位于对应的第一离型剂膜140在可拉伸底膜130上的正投影之内。也就是说,每个连接单元2的靠近胶层120的表面与胶层120之间可以被相应的第一离型剂膜140有效隔离,从而确保每个连接单元2并不会与胶层120相黏接。因此,每个连接单元2不会因其与胶层120黏接而被束缚,容易增加了每个连接单元2的自由度。这样能够降低每个连接单元2因被胶层120束缚而导致的应力集中,进而避免每个连接单元2因应力作用而出现拉伸破损的情况破损。
这样一来,柔性显示面板100处于拉伸状态下,所述多个显示单元1在胶层120的束缚下仍被固定于同一平面内,而所述多个连接单元2能够较自由地扭转展开,也就是说,如上所述的柔性显示面板100在保证了显示效果的同时,提高了拉伸可靠性。
此外,在本公开的一些实施例所提供的柔性显示面板100中,胶层120和可拉伸底膜130无需进行图案化处理,有利于减少柔性显示面板100在制 作过程中的工艺步骤,并降低其制作成本。
当然,胶层120和可拉伸底膜130无需进行图案化处理,也就能够避免柔性显示面板100在制作过程中因胶层120和可拉伸底膜130的图案化处理而产生不良,有利于提高柔性显示面板的生产良率。
例如,胶层120和可拉伸底膜130的图案化处理通过刻蚀方式完成。这样在将柔性基板110通过胶层120与可拉伸底膜130黏接后,对可拉伸底膜130和胶层120进行刻蚀的过程中,若柔性基板110中已经制作好多个发光器件,则各发光器件容易因前述刻蚀操作而被损坏;而若柔性基板110中尚未制作好各发光器件,则在前述刻蚀操作完成后,仍需在显示基板110中制备各发光器件,如此容易因各发光器件制程中的高温(温度大于400℃)对可拉伸底膜130和胶层120造成损坏。
又例如,胶层120和可拉伸底膜130的图案化处理通过激光切割的方式完成,这样因激光切割产生的大量热能容易对可拉伸底膜130、胶层120以及柔性基板110造成损坏。
本公开一些实施例提供的柔性显示面板100无需对胶层120和可拉伸底膜130进行图案化处理,能够有效避免前述情况发生。
此处,本公开一些实施例对于第一离型剂膜140的种类不做限定。示例性的,所述多个第一离型剂膜140包括丙烯酸型离型剂膜、树脂离型剂膜、有机硅氛类离型剂膜、含氟聚氨酯离型剂膜、含氟聚硅氧烷离型剂膜、氟硅离型剂膜或丙丁烷离型剂膜中的至少一种。
本公开一些实施例对于可拉伸底膜130的材料不做限定。示例性的,可拉伸底膜130的材料选自聚二甲基硅氧烷(Polydimethylsiloxane,简称PDMS)、天然橡胶、丁腈橡胶、氢化苯乙烯-丁二烯嵌段共聚物(Styrene Ethylene Butylene Styrene,简称SEBS)、热塑性聚氨酯弹性体橡胶(Thermoplastic Polyurethanes,简称TPU)、聚萘二甲酸乙二醇酯(Polyethylene Naphthalate,简称PEN)、聚酰亚胺(Polyimide,简称PI)、聚醚酰亚胺(Polyetherimide,简称PEI)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(Polyethylene Terephthalate,简称PET)或聚苯硫醚(Polyphenylene Sulfide,简称PPS)等材料中的至少一种。上述各材料具有较好的伸缩性能,从而能够确保可拉伸底膜130具有较好的伸缩性能。
所述多个第一离型剂膜140中的每个第一离型剂膜140位于对应的连接单元2与胶层120之间,每个第一离型剂膜140形成在对应的连接单元2的 靠近胶层120的表面上,或每个第一离型剂膜140形成在胶层120的背离可拉伸底膜130的表面上,均可。本公开的一些实施例对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,参见图4,每个第一离型剂膜140形成在对应的连接单元2的靠近胶层120的表面上。这样,由于每个第一离型剂膜140形成在对应的连接单元2的靠近胶层120的表面上,因此该第一离型剂膜140能够跟随对应的连接单元2一起移动。如此,在柔性显示面板100处于拉伸状态下,即使每个连接单元2与胶层120发生了相对移动,每个连接单元2与胶层120之间仍存在第一离型剂膜140,而避免出现其与胶层120相黏接的情况,从而能够保证胶层120对各连接单元2的束缚力较小,进一步降低了各连接单元2的破损的几率,提高了柔性显示面板100的拉伸可靠性。
在另一些实施例中,每个第一离型剂膜140形成在胶层120的背离可拉伸底膜130的表面上。在该种情况下,示例性的,为保证每个连接单元2在可拉伸底膜130上的正投影位于对应的第一离型剂膜140在可拉伸底膜130上的正投影之内,可以将形成在胶层120表面上的各第一离型剂膜140与所述多个连接单元2进行对位处理。
在本公开的一些实施例中,参见图5和图6,所述多个显示单元中的每个显示单元1包括与相连的连接单元1一一对应连接的至少一个连接部11。柔性显示面板100还包括:至少一个第二离型剂膜150,所述至少一个第二离型剂膜中的每个第二离型剂膜150设置于所述至少一个连接部中的一个连接部11与胶层120之间,且每个第二离型剂膜150与相邻设置的第一离型剂膜140相连。
这样,胶层120对设置有第二离型剂膜150的各连接部11的束缚力较小,有效地增加了所述各连接部11转动的自由度。因此,在柔性显示面板100处于拉伸状态的情况下,与各连接部11相邻的连接部11的转动的自由度进一步增大,从而进一步降低了各连接单元2的破损的几率,提高了柔性显示面板100的拉伸可靠性。
需要说明的是,对于各第一离型剂膜140和各第二离型剂膜150的材料的相同性不做限定。
在一些实施例中,各第一离型剂膜140的材料和各第二离型剂膜150的材料相同。示例性的,参见图6,每个第二离型剂膜150与相邻的第一离型剂膜140为一体结构。此处,每个第二离型剂膜150与相邻的第一离型剂膜140经由相同的材料制备,并在同一道工序步骤中制备成型,因此能够简化柔性 显示面板100的制备工艺。
在一些实施例中,各第一离型剂膜140的材料和各第二离型剂膜150的材料不相同。示例性的,参见图6,每个第二离型剂膜150对胶层120的离型力大于与其相邻的第一离型剂膜140对胶层120的离型力。
此处,需要说明的是,离型力指的是将离型剂膜同胶层120分离所需要的力。由此可知,相比于各第二离型剂膜150,胶层120更易与各第一离型剂膜140分离,也就是说,胶层120对各连接单元2的束缚力小于胶层120对设置有第二离型剂膜150的各连接部11的束缚力。因此,对于设置有第二离型剂膜150的各连接单元2来说,其所受到胶层120的束缚力大于其设置有第二离型剂膜150的连接部11受到胶层120的束缚力,而该连接部11受到胶层120的束缚力又大于与之相连的连接单元1受到胶层120的束缚力。也即,柔性显示面板100在上述各显示单元2到相应的连接单元1所对应的各区域内,所受束缚力逐渐递减,所发生的变形逐渐增大,从而能够降低因变形量突增而导致的应力集中程度,进一步降低了各连接单元2的破损的几率,提高了柔性显示面板100的拉伸可靠性。
下面将对如上所述的柔性显示面板100中的每个显示单元1和每个连接单元2进行示例性的介绍。
在一些实施例中,参见图7,每个显示单元1包括沿远离胶层120的方向依次设置的第一柔性衬底膜101、驱动电路102和发光器件103。每个连接单元2包括沿远离胶层120的方向依次设置的第二柔性衬底膜201和连接电路202。
示例的,每个显示单元1中的各第一柔性衬底膜101与胶层120直接黏接。每个连接单元2中的各第二柔性衬底膜201的靠近可拉伸底膜的一侧表面通过对应的第一离型剂膜140与胶层120间接接触。
此处,对于每个显示单元1所包括的第一柔性衬底膜101和每个连接单元2所包括的第二柔性衬底膜201的相对位置关系不做限定,对于每个显示单元1所包括的驱动电路102和每个连接单元2所包括的连接电路202的相对位置关系不做限定。
示例性的,各第一柔性衬底膜101和各第二柔性衬底膜201同层设置。此种情况下,各第一柔性衬底膜101和各第二柔性衬底膜201能够通过同一道工序形成,简化柔性显示面板100的制备工序。
作为另一种示例,各驱动电路102和各连接电路202同层设置,此种情 况下,各驱动电路102和各连接电路202能够通过同一道制作工序中形成,简化柔性显示面板100的制备工序。
此外,本公开一些实施例对如上所述的各第一柔性衬底膜101和各第二柔性衬底膜201的材料也不做限定。
示例性的,各第一柔性衬底膜101的材料和各第二柔性衬底膜201的材料选自聚酰亚胺、聚苯二甲酸乙二醇酯、聚醚酰亚胺、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯或聚苯硫醚等中的至少一种。
还需要说明的是,此处对于如上所述的发光器件103的种类不做限定、示例性的,发光器件103为OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)发光器件、QLED(Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diode,量子点发光二极管)或Micro LED(Micro Light Emitting Diode,微发光二极管)等发光器件。
在本公开的一些实施例中,柔性基板110除包括所述多个显示单元1和所述多个连接单元2以外,还包括其它膜层。示例性的,参见图4、图6、图7和图8,柔性基板110还包括设置于所述多个显示单元1和所述多个连接单元2的背向胶层120的一侧的薄膜封装层3。此处,薄膜封装层3能够阻隔水氧向各显示单元1和各连接单元2的内部侵入,尤其能够阻隔水氧对各显示单元1内部的发光器件103的侵蚀,延长柔性显示面板100的使用寿命。
示例性的,薄膜封装层3的材料为氮化硅、氧化硅、氧化铝或氮氧化硅等材料中的至少一种。
在一些实施例中,参见图4、图7和图8,薄膜封装层3的与每个连接单元2对应的部分的正投影位于相应的第一离型剂膜140的正投影之内。这样,能够保证薄膜封装层3的与每个连接单元2对应的部分能够跟随相应的连接单元2一起移动,避免因薄膜封装层3被胶层120黏接而对各连接单元2产生束缚。此处,正投影仍然指在可拉伸底膜130上的正投影。
此外,薄膜封装层3的与各连接单元2对应的部分指的是薄膜封装层3覆盖各连接单元2的部分。示例性的,请再次参见图4、图6、图7和图8,薄膜封装层3设置于所述多个显示单元1和所述多个连接单元2的背向胶层120的一侧,并且还覆盖于各连接单元2和各显示单元1的各个侧面,所述各个侧面指的是各连接单元2和各显示单元1的具有层间缝隙的各表面。在此情况下,所述对应的部分包括薄膜封装层3的覆盖于各连接单元2的上面的部分,还包括薄膜封装层3的覆盖于各连接单元2的各侧面的部分。
此处,封装薄膜层3覆盖于各显示单元1和各连接单元2的上面和各侧面,能够保证各显示单元1和各连接单元2处于较为封闭的环境中,避免水氧从所述层间缝隙处渗入,进一步阻隔水氧对各显示单元1中的发光器件103的侵蚀,以提升薄膜封装层3的封装效果。
在本公开的一些实施例中,各显示单元1和各连接单元2还包括其它膜层,下面将参照图8和图9,对柔性显示面板100进行示例性的详细介绍。
在柔性显示面板100中,每个显示单元1包括沿远离胶层120的方向依次设置的第一柔性衬底膜101、第一缓冲膜104、驱动电路102、第一平坦膜105和发光器件103,其中,第一柔性衬底膜101设置于胶层120的背向可拉伸底膜130的一侧。
参见图9,驱动电路102包括:有源层1021、栅极绝缘层1022、栅极1023、层间绝缘层1024、源极1025和漏极1026。其中,栅极绝缘层1022设置于有源层1021的一侧;栅极1023设置于栅极绝缘层1022的背向有源层1021的一侧,且栅极1023在有源层1021上的正投影位于有源层1021之内;层间绝缘层1024设置于栅极1023和栅极绝缘层1022的背向有源层1021的一侧,且覆盖栅极1023;源极1025和漏极1026设置于层间绝缘层1024的背向有源层1021的一侧,栅极绝缘层1022和层间绝缘层1024中设置有两个第一过孔1027,源极1025和漏极1026分别通过不同的第一过孔1027与有源层1021连接。
图9所示出的驱动电路102包括至少一个驱动晶体管,该至少一个驱动晶体管为栅极1025位于有源层1021的背向第一柔性衬底膜101的一侧,这种结构称之为“顶栅”结构。需要说明的是,上述示例是以“顶栅”结构为例进行的说明,但是这并不能对本公开所提供的技术方案构成限定。在另一个示例中,驱动电路102所包括的至少一个驱动晶体管采用“底栅”结构或其他结构。此处,“底栅”结构为栅极1025位于有源层1021的朝向第一柔性衬底膜101的一侧。
发光器件103包括依次层叠设置的第一电极1031、发光层(Emitting Layer,简称EML)1033和第二电极1034。第一电极1031设置于第一平坦膜105的背向胶层120的一侧,且第一电极1031通过设置于第一平坦膜105中的第二过孔1051与驱动电路103连接。
需要说明的是,第一电极1031和第二电极1034之间,可以仅设置有发光层1033,也可以除设置有发光层1033以外,还设置其他多个膜层,在此不 做限定。示例性的,发光器件103还包括:依次层叠设置于第一电极1031和发光层1033之间的空穴注入层、空穴传输层,以及依次层叠设置于发光层1033和第二电极1034之间的电子传输层和电子注入层。
此处,每个显示单元1中发光器件103的第一电极1031为阳极,该阳极与驱动电路103中的源极1025或漏极1026相连接。每个显示单元1中还包括设置于第一平坦膜105的背向胶层120的一侧的像素定义膜1032,每个像素定义膜1032具有开口。每个显示单元1中发光器件103的发光层1033设置于对应像素定义膜1032中的开口内。每个显示单元1中发光器件103的第二电极1034设置于像素定义膜1032和发光层1033的背向胶层120的一侧。
每个连接单元2包括沿远离胶层120的方向依次设置的第二柔性衬底201、第二缓冲膜204、连接电路202和第二平坦膜205,其中,第二柔性衬底膜201设置于胶层120的背向可拉伸底膜130的一侧。
此处,需要说明的是,由于图8所示出的为柔性显示面板100的一部分的剖面图,此处仅以膜层的形式示出连接电路202,其所代表的为连接电路202的部分连接线路,但这并不能作为对于连接电路202的限制。示例性的,连接电路202还包括至少一个开关晶体管。
在一些实施例中,为,将各连接单元2的形状设置为非线性的,例如使其具有至少一个弯曲区域,以提高各连接单元2的拉伸性。这样在柔性显示面板100被拉伸的情况下,各连接单元2在其至少一个弯折区域能够发生一定程度的伸展,使其所连接的两个显示单元1之间的沿拉伸方向上的距离增加,从而有利于柔性显示面板100的拉伸。
示例性的,参见图3和图5,每个连接单元2的与对应的显示单元1连接的两端为弯曲设置,且所述两端的弯曲方向相反。这样,每个连接单元2的位于与对应的显示单元1连接的端部各具有一个如上所述的弯曲区域。并且,该两端的弯折方向相反,使每个连接单元2的位于两端之间的部分在靠近该两端处受到的应力的方向相反,因此更利于每个连接单元2的扭转,进一步增加其所连接的两个显示单元1之间的沿拉伸方向上的距离,使柔性显示面板100更易沿拉伸方向拉伸展开。
本公开的一些实施例中还提供了一种柔性显示装置1000,参见图17,该柔性显示装置1000包括如上所述的任一种柔性显示面板100,柔性显示装置还包括用于驱动柔性显示面板的驱动装置,具体包括驱动电路(图中未示出)。
该柔性显示装置1000具有与前述实施例提供的柔性显示面板100相同的 结构和有益效果。由于前述实施例已经对该柔性显示面板100的有益效果进行了详细的描述,此处不再赘述。
本公开的一些实施例中还提供了一种柔性显示面板的制备方法,参见图10,该柔性显示面板的制备方法包括S100~S400:
S100、提供可拉伸底膜,在可拉伸底膜的一侧表面上形成胶层。
S200、制作柔性基板,所述柔性基板包括多个显示单元和多个连接单元,其中,每相邻的两个显示单元通过至少一个连接单元连接。
S300、在每个连接单元的与所述多个显示单元的待黏接胶层的表面同侧的表面上形成多个第一离型剂膜;或,在所述胶层的背离所述可拉伸底膜的一侧表面上形成与所述多个连接单元一一对应的多个第一离型剂膜。
S400、将所述柔性基板的多个显示单元与所述胶层黏接,所述柔性基板中的每个连接单元在所述可拉伸底膜上的正投影位于对应的第一离型剂膜在所述可拉伸底膜上的正投影之内。
由于该柔性显示面板的制备方法所制备的柔性显示面板具有在保证了显示效果的同时,提高了拉伸可靠性,并能够提高良率的优势,因此,该柔性显示面板的制备方法同样具有这些优势。
需要说明的是,在如上所述的柔性显示面板的制备方法中,由于在可拉伸底膜上形成胶层(S100)与制作柔性基板(S200),以及在可拉伸底膜上形成胶层(S100)与形成第一离型膜(S300)之间无互相影响,因此,只需保证S100的顺序在S400的顺序之前即可,其与S200的先后顺序和其与S300的先后顺序在此不做限定。例如,在形成了第一离型膜之后,再在可拉伸底膜上形成胶层;例如,在可拉伸底膜上形成胶层与制作柔性基板同时进行;又例如,形成第一离型剂膜与在可拉伸底膜上形成胶层同时进行,此处不再穷尽列举。
需要说明的是,在S100中,可拉伸底膜的一侧表面上形成胶层的方式此处不做限定。示例性的,在可拉伸底膜上涂布制备该胶层的制备组分,例如该组分包括共聚物单体、交联剂以及引发剂,然后将已涂布的制备组分经过固化处理,使其在可拉伸底膜上固化以形成胶层。在另一个示例中,获取成品胶,并将该成品胶经过切割、对位等工序处理后,黏贴在可拉伸底膜上,以在可拉伸底膜的一侧表面上形成所述胶层。需要说明的是,这里胶层成品是指已经制作好的单独的胶层,示例性的,该胶层成品包括胶层本体,以及分别黏接在胶层本体上、下表面的上离型膜和下离型膜,这里上离型膜和下 离型膜较易从胶层本体的表面剥离而不会破坏其表面的黏性,主要起到保护其表面黏性的作用。
示例性的,在S300中,所述多个第一离型剂膜的形成方式包括打印方式或喷涂方式中的至少一种方式。此处,打印方式中所采用的为液体外部离型剂,例如为丙烯酸离型剂、树脂离型剂、有机硅离型剂、氛类离型剂、含氟聚氨酯离型剂、含氟聚硅氧烷离型剂、氟硅离型剂等液体外部离型剂。喷涂方式所采用的为喷雾型离型剂,例如为丙丁烷离型剂等喷雾型离型剂。
在一些实施例中,S300中形成所述多个第一离型剂膜包括:
S301、涂布第一离型剂材料,形成多个离型剂涂布层;
S302、对所述多个离型剂涂布层进行流平,形成所述多个第一离型剂膜。
此处,S302中的流平工艺的作用为使多个离型剂涂布层摊平,并使其中的溶剂在一定时间内挥发掉,从而减少其出现针孔等缺陷的几率,保证所形成的所述多个第一离型剂膜平整。
在一些实施例中,参见图11,上述S200中制作柔性基板包括:
S210、提供第一载板,在第一载板的一侧表面上依次形成柔性衬底层和显示电路层。
S220、将柔性衬底层和显示电路层图案化,使图案化的柔性衬底层包括多个第一柔性衬底膜和多个第二柔性衬底膜,图案化的显示电路层包括多个驱动电路和多个连接电路。
S230、在每个驱动电路的背离第一载板的一侧形成一发光器件。
S240、去除第一载板。柔性基板的每个显示单元包括一个第一柔性衬底膜、一个驱动电路和一个发光器件,柔性基板的每个连接单元包括一个第二柔性衬底膜和一个连接电路。
示例性的,在S220中将柔性衬底层和显示电路层图案化的过程中,所采用的构图工艺包括光刻工艺以及刻蚀步骤在内的工艺。所述光刻工艺是指包括成膜(例如化学气相淀积成膜,Chemical Vapor Deposition,简称CVD)、曝光、显影等工艺过程且利用光刻胶、掩模板、曝光机等形成图形的工艺。
示例性的,在S230中所形成的各发光器件为OLED发光器件,在该种情况下,可以采用喷墨打印制程或蒸镀制程形成各发光器件中的发光层。
在一些实施例中,参见图12,在S200制作柔性基板中还包括以下步骤:
S231、在所述多个显示单元和所述多个连接单元的背离所述第一载板的一侧形成薄膜封装层。
示例性的,参见图11,S231在如上所述的S230和S240之间,也即在每个驱动电路的背离第一载板的一侧形成以发光器件之后,然后在所述多个显示单元和所述多个连接单元的背离所述第一载板的一侧形成薄膜封装层,之后再去除第一载板。
基于此,在一些实施例中,参见图11,在形成第一离型剂膜之前,在形成薄膜封装层之后,如上所述的柔性显示面板的制备方法还包括:
S232、在柔性基板的背离第一载板的一侧依次黏接暂时性保护膜和第二载板。
在将柔性基板的多个显示单元与胶层黏接之后,柔性显示面板的制备方法还包括:
S401、去除暂时性保护膜和第二载板。
此处,暂时性保护膜和第二载板能够保护图案化的柔性基板,避免其在后续形成第一离型膜的过程中遭受破坏。示例性的,柔性基板的与黏接暂时性保护膜和第二载板的膜层为封装薄膜层的情况下,后续形成第一离型膜的过程中,暂时性保护膜和第二载板能够保护封装薄膜层。
需要说明的是,此处不对S232与S240的先后顺序做限定。
示例性的,参见图11,步骤S232在步骤S231和步骤S240之间,也即,先在所述多个显示单元和所述多个连接单元的背离所述第一载板的一侧形成薄膜封装层,然后在柔性基板的背离第一载板的一侧依次黏接暂时性保护膜和第二载板,之后再去除第一载板。这样能够保证柔性基板在与可拉伸底膜黏接之前,均处于受到载板的保护的状态下。
以下将参照图12A~图12J,对如上所述的柔性显示面板的制备方法进行示例性的详细说明。
参见图12A,进行S100:提供可拉伸底膜130,在可拉伸底膜130的一侧表面上形成胶层120。

参见图12C,进行S220,将柔性衬底层01和显示电路层02图案化,得到图案化的柔性衬底层010和图案化的显示电路层020,其中图案化的柔性衬底层010包括多个第一柔性衬底膜101和多个第二柔性衬底膜201,图案化的显示电路层020包括多个驱动电路102和多个连接电路202。
参见图12D,进行S230,在每个驱动电路102的背离第一载板00的一侧形成一发光器件103。这样,形成了所述多个显示单元1和所述多个连接单元2,其中,每个显示单元1包括一个第一柔性衬底膜101、一个驱动电路102和一个发光器件103,每个连接单元2包括一个第二柔性衬底膜201和一个连接电路202。
参见图12E,进行S231,在所述多个显示单元1和所述多个连接单元2的背离第一载板00的一侧形成薄膜封装层3。
至此,形成了柔性基板110。
需要说明的是,在可拉伸底膜130的一侧表面上形成胶层120(S100)与进行柔性基板110的制作(S200)中的各步骤的先后顺序不做限定。
在制作了柔性基板110之后,参见图12F,进行S232:在柔性基板110的背离第一载板00的一侧依次黏接暂时性保护膜04和第二载板05。
需要说明的是,暂时性保护膜04和第二载板05能够保护柔性基板110的背离第一载板00的一侧表面,例如,在该表面为薄膜封装层3的情况下,暂时性保护膜01和第二载板05能够保护薄膜封装层3在后续制程中不受破坏。
在黏接了暂时性保护膜04和第二载板05之后,参见图12G,进行S240:去除第一载板00。
进行所述多个第一离型膜140的制作,需要说明的是,本公开中对于所述多个第一离型膜140的制作的可实现方式包括多种。
示例性的,参见图12H:
进行步S300A:在每个连接单元2的与所述多个显示单1元的待黏接胶层的表面同侧的表面上形成所述多个第一离型剂膜140。此处,由于在每个连接单元2的与所述多个显示单元1的待黏接胶层的表面上形成第一离型膜140,因此如图12H所示,将第二载板05朝下,使每个显示单元1的相应的表面朝上,便于第一离型剂膜140形成于每个连接单元2上。
在另一个示例中,参见图12H’:
进行S300B:在胶层120的背离可拉伸底膜130的一侧表面上形成与所述多个连接单元2一一对应的所述多个第一离型剂膜140。
这样,形成了所述多个第一离型剂膜140。
参见图12I,进行S400:柔性基板110的所述多个显示单元1与胶层120黏接。其中,柔性基板110中的每个连接单元2在可拉伸底膜130上的正投 影位于对应的第一离型剂膜140在可拉伸底膜130上的正投影之内。
参见图12J,进行S401:去除暂时性保护膜04和第二载板05。
这样,得到柔性显示面板100。
在一些实施例中,参见图6,每个第一离型膜140形成在对应的连接单元1的靠近胶层120的表面上,也即在每个连接单元2的与所述多个显示单元1的待黏接胶层120的表面同侧的表面上形成所述多个第一离型剂膜140的情况下,参见图13和图14,在将柔性基板110的多个显示单元1与胶层120黏接(S400)之前,如上所述的柔性显示面板的制备方法还包括:
S310、在所述多个显示单元1的至少一个连接部11的靠近所述多个第一离型剂膜140的表面上形成至少一个第二离型剂膜150,且至少一个第二离型剂膜150中的每个第二离型剂膜150与相邻设置的第一离型剂膜140连接。
在另一些实施例中,参见图6,每个第一离型剂膜140形成在胶层120的背离可拉伸底膜130的一侧表面上,也即在胶层120的背离可拉伸底膜130的一侧表面上形成与多个连接单元2一一对应的多个第一离型剂膜140的情况下,参见图15和图16,在将柔性基板110的多个显示单元1与胶层120黏接(S400)之前,如上所述的柔性显示面板的制备方法还包括:
S320、在胶层120的背离可拉伸底膜130的一侧表面上形成与所述多个显示单元1的至少一个连接部11一一对应的至少一个第二离型剂膜150,且所述至少一个第二离型剂膜150中的每个第二离型剂膜150与相邻设置的第一离型剂膜140连接。
此处,由于每个第二离型剂膜150与相邻设置的第一离型剂膜140连接,因此在本公开的一些实施例中,能够通过一体成型工艺,在同一道工序中形成每个第二离型剂膜150及与相邻设置的第一离型剂膜140。
在本公开的另一些实施例中,各第一离型剂膜140形成于一道工序中,各第二离型剂膜150形成于另一道工序中。在该种情况下,示例性的,用于制备各第一离型剂膜140的材料不同于用于制备各第二离型剂膜150的材料。例如,各第一离型剂膜140的材料采用成膜后离型力较大的离型剂材料,各第二离型剂膜150的材料采用成膜后离型力较小的离型剂材料。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
