According to the present invention, the process time is shortened by integrating processes of PDL and CS layers of an organic light emitting diode panel into a single process, and the half-tone thickness is controlled to be 1.25 to 2.20 [mu] m and the full-tone thickness is controlled to be 3.20 to 3.40 [mu] m, thereby reducing scratches caused by a metal mask during vapor deposition. Furthermore, the uv actinic ray transmittance of the photomask is adjusted to three sections, i.e., 0% (non-exposed portion), 15 to 60% (Half-tone), and 100% (Full-tone), to form a pattern so that a layer appears on the pattern after the development process is completed while containing the colorant of the present invention.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a pixel defining layer of a light-emitting display device by utilizing a photosensitive composition. Background Art

[0002] Flat panel display devices widely use liquid crystal display devices (LCD: Liquid crystal display device), organic light emitting display devices (OLED: Organic light emitting display device), etc. Among them, organic light emitting display devices have the advantages of low power consumption, fast response speed, high color reproduction rate, high brightness, wide viewing angle, etc.

[0003] The purpose of using the polarizing film in the organic light emitting display device is to shield the light reflected from the panel after incident external light. However, the disadvantage is that due to the lack of bending properties, the polarizing film is not suitable for use in flexible devices.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, it has been suggested to use color filters and black matrices and to form a light-shielding inorganic film on the upper substrate. However, this method has limitations in obtaining the desired level of anti-reflection effect, and no specific method for replacing the polarizing film is provided.

[0005] In addition, the colored patterns are used as red, green, and blue color filters not only in liquid crystal displays but also in organic light-emitting displays.

[0006] When manufacturing the colored pattern, not only a variety of organic pigments but also carbon black and inorganic pigments are used as colorants, and the equally dispersed pigment dispersions are mixed with other compositions to form a pattern. At this time, before evaporating the organic light-emitting layer, in order to support the metal mask for evaporation, a photolithography process is added and then the evaporation process is carried out.

[0007] When using such pixels to prepare organic light-emitting displays, clearer colors can be achieved. However, the formation of another support layer on the coloring pattern increases the process time (Tack time), and the addition of coating, exposure, development, and thermal curing processes causes damage to the panel, thereby causing problems such as pixel shrinkage, dark spots, and electrode oxidation, which shortens the life of the organic light-emitting display and reduces the brightness. Summary of the invention

[0008] Issues to be solved

[0009] In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of traditional technology, an implementation example of the present invention integrates the process of preparing two layers into a single process to reduce damage to the panel, thereby realizing a coloring pattern with a short process time on the electrode substrate, which not only has clear colors, but also can improve the reliability of the display and extend its life.

[0010] That is, the purpose of the present invention is to reduce the transmittance of a local section on a negative type photomask that transmits light to achieve curing to change the exposure amount, so that after development, the curing is different depending on the exposure amount, so that steps appear on the pattern and two layers are achieved through one process.

[0106] The term "spiro compound" used in the present application has a 'spiro union', which means that two rings share only one atom to form a connection. In this case, the atom shared by the two rings is called a 'spiro atom', and according to the number of spiro atoms contained in one compound, it is called a 'monospiro-', 'dispiro-', 'trispiro-' compound, respectively.

[0120] Similarly, pyrimidone can be recorded as 'pyrimidone' regardless of the valence, or recorded as pyrimidinyl (base) when it is monovalent, and can be recorded as the 'name of the base' of the corresponding valence when it is divalent, such as pyrimidinylene (base), etc. Therefore, in the present application, when the type of substituent is recorded as the name of the parent compound, it can represent: an n-valent 'base' formed by the desorption of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms and / or heteroatoms of the parent compound.

[0121] In addition, in this specification, when recording the name of a compound or a substituent, the numerals or alphabets indicating the position may be omitted.

In this case, the symbol of the hydrogen atoms bonded with carbon atoms can be omitted and the chemical formula or compound can be recorded. 1 When a is an integer of 2 or 3, the bonding can be as follows. When a is an integer of 4 to 6, it can also be bonded to the carbon of the benzene ring by a similar method. When a is an integer of 2 or more, R 1 Can be the same or different.

[0125]

[0126] In the present application, unless otherwise described, forming a ring means that adjacent groups are bonded to each other to form a monocyclic ring or a fused polycyclic ring. The monocyclic ring and the fused polycyclic ring formed include not only hydrocarbon rings but also heterocyclic rings. The heterocyclic ring contains at least one heteroatom and may include aromatic and non-aromatic rings.

[0127] In addition, in this specification, unless otherwise described, when a condensed ring is represented, in the term "number-condensed ring", the number represents the number of condensed rings. For example, a condensed form of three rings can be represented as a 3-condensed ring, such as anthracene, phenanthrene, benzo quinozoline, etc.

[0128] In addition, unless otherwise described, the term "bridged bicyclic compound" used in the present application refers to a compound in which two rings share three or more atoms to form a ring. In this case, the shared atoms may include carbon or heteroatoms.

[0129] In the present application, an organic electrical element refers to (several) components between an anode and a cathode, or refers to an organic light emitting diode or an organic light emitting display device, wherein the organic light emitting diode includes (several) components located between an anode and a cathode.

[0130] Furthermore, depending on the circumstances, the display device of the present application refers to an organic electrical element, an organic light emitting diode and a panel including the same, or an electronic device including a panel and a circuit. For example, the electronic device includes all lighting devices, solar cells, portable or mobile terminals (for example, smart phones, tablet computers, PDAs, electronic dictionaries, PMPs, etc.), navigation terminals, game consoles, various TVs, various computer displays, etc., but is not limited thereto, and any form of device is acceptable as long as it includes the aforementioned (several) components.

[0131] Hereinafter, an implementation example of the present invention will be described in detail. However, this is for illustrative purposes only and the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention is only defined by the scope of the following claims.

[0132] According to an implementation example of the present invention, a composition including a colorant may be used to prepare a red pattern, a green pattern, a blue pattern or a black matrix, and a pixel definition layer (PDL).

[0133] According to an implementation example of the present invention, the black pixel defining layer (PDL) may further include an additional colorant in addition to the colorant contained in the colorant, that is, an organic black pigment or a black dye. For example, the organic pigment can be used alone or mixed with the organic pigment and the coloring pigment. The advantage at this time is that, due to the mixed coloring pigment with insufficient light-shielding property, even if the amount of the colorant is relatively increased, the strength of the film (layer) or the adhesion of the substrate will not decrease. According to an implementation example of the present invention, the negative pixel defining layer (Negative PDL (Pixel define layer)) may include an additional colorant, that is, a black pigment or a black dye, to replace the colorant contained in the colorant.

[0134] Hereinafter, each component is described in detail.

[0135] 1. The preparation process of the negative pixel defining layer is as follows.

[0136] (1) Coating and coating steps

[0137] The photosensitive composition is a low-viscosity liquid reagent. In order to form a coating with a certain thickness after coating on a substrate, a spin coater or a slit coater is used. The advantage of a spin coater is that the higher the number of rotations, the thinner the thickness, but the flatness deviation in the area is reduced. In order to form a coating on a large-area substrate, a slit coater is preferably used compared to a spin coater, but its disadvantage is that after the coating is formed, the surface exhibits fluidity due to the residual solvent, resulting in a decrease in flatness. In order to overcome this drawback, VCD (vacuum chamber dry) is used to locally remove the solvent to reduce the fluidity of the surface.

[0138] (2) Pre-baking step

[0139] This process uses a hot plate or oven to heat the substrate of the coating at a certain temperature and time to partially remove the solvent contained in the coating film. If the surface or deep part of the coating film is not dry, it will cause photomask contamination when the next process is exposed. When irradiated with ultraviolet light, the exposed part is not well cured. If it is not cured, it will cause the development process to not form and remove the pattern.

[0140] (3) Exposure Step

[0141] When the pre-baking process is completed, the process uses a photomask with a pattern to irradiate actinic rays (ultraviolet rays) to cure the formed film. The types of lamps that generate actinic rays include LED lamps or metal (mercury) lamps, and the wavelengths include g-line (436nm), h-line (405nm), i-line (365nm), and Deep UV (<260nm), which can be used separately or in combination.

[0142] (4) Development step

[0143] When the exposure step irradiates actinic rays, the photomask is divided into an exposed part and a non-exposed part. In the case of a positive type, the exposed part is dissolved by a developer, while the non-exposed part resists the developer and leaves a pattern. In the case of a negative type, the exposed part is cured and resistant to the developer, while the non-exposed part is developed. The black pixel defining layer (Black PDL) prepared using a composition containing the colorant of the present invention is a negative type, which can be divided into an exposed part (cured) and a non-exposed part (developed) to form a pattern.

[0144] 2. The composition for forming the negative pixel defining layer including the colorant is as follows.

If the weight average molecular weight of the resin is included in the range, no residue is generated when preparing the light-shielding layer, the pattern forming effect is good, and there is no loss in film thickness during development, and a good pattern can be obtained. In the total amount of the photosensitive resin composition, the content of the resin is 1 to 30% by weight, and more preferably, the content can be 3 to 20% by weight. When the content of the resin is included in the range, excellent sensitivity, developability and adhesion (tightness) can be obtained.

[0201] (2) Reactive unsaturated compounds

[0202] The reactive unsaturated compound is an essential component of the negative pattern and has an ethylene unsaturated double bond. Therefore, when the pattern forming process is exposed, it can initiate sufficient polymerization to form a pattern with excellent heat resistance, light resistance and chemical resistance.

When the content of the reactive unsaturated compound is included in the range, sufficient curing is induced when the pattern forming process is exposed, so that the reliability is excellent, the heat resistance, light resistance and chemical resistance of the pattern are excellent, and the clarity and adhesion are also excellent.

[0209] (3) Photoinitiator

[0210] In order to present a negative pattern through a photolithography machine, a photoradical initiator is required. The molar absorption coefficient of the photoinitiator in the 330 to 380 nm region is 10,000 (L / mol·cm) or more, and the temperature at which the photoinitiator loses 5% by weight is below 200°C. The molar absorption coefficient can be calculated by the beer-Lambert Law. In addition, the weight loss was detected by TGA in a nitrogen atmosphere at a rate of 5°C per minute to 300°C.

[0211] The photopolymerization initiator is generally used in a photosensitive resin composition, and for example, acetophenone compounds, benzophenone compounds, thioxanthone compounds, benzoin compounds, triazine compounds, etc. may be used.

[0222] After the photoinitiator absorbs light and transitions to an excited state, it transfers its energy and is used together with a photosensitizer that undergoes a chemical reaction. For example, the photosensitizer includes: triethylene glycol bis-3-mercaptopropionate, pentaerythritol tetrakis-3-mercaptopropionate, dipentaerythritol tetrakis-3-mercaptopropionate, and the like.

[0223] The content of the photoinitiator in the total amount of the photosensitive composition may be 0.01 to 10% by weight, for example, 0.1 to 5% by weight. When the content of the photoinitiator is within the above range, sufficient curing is induced when the pattern forming process is exposed, so that the reliability is excellent, the heat resistance, light resistance and chemical resistance of the pattern are excellent, and the clarity and adhesion are also excellent. In addition, the reduction of transmittance caused by the unreacted initiator can be prevented.

[0224] (4) Colorant

[0225] Both organic pigments and inorganic pigments and dyes can be used as the colorant.

[0226] The colorant may be a red pigment, a green pigment, a blue pigment, a yellow pigment, a black pigment, or the like.

[0232] Furthermore, according to an implementation example, the colorant in the photosensitive resin composition may include a pigment, a dye, or a combination thereof. For example, the dye may include a phthalocyanine compound.

[0233] The above components can be used alone or in combination of two or more as the pigment and dye, but are not limited thereto.

[0234] The black pigment in the above components can be used to effectively shield the light from the light shielding layer. When the black pigment is used, it can also be used together with a color-correcting agent such as anthraquinone pigments, perylene pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, and azo pigments.

[0235] In order to disperse the pigment on the photosensitive resin composition, a dispersant may be used together. Specifically, the pigment may be used after surface pretreatment with a dispersant, or, when preparing the photosensitive resin composition, a dispersant may be added together with the pigment before use.

[0236] The dispersant may be a nonionic dispersant, anionic dispersant, cationic dispersant, etc. Specific examples of the dispersant include polyalkylene glycol and its esters, polyoxyalkylene, oxyalkylene polyol ester additives, alcohol alkylene oxide additives, sulfonic acid esters, sulfonic acid salts, carboxylates, carboxylates, oxyalkylene alkylamide additives, alkyl amines, etc., which may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0237] The dispersant products on sale include, for example, DISPERBYK-101, DISPERBYK-130, DISPERBYK-140, DISPERBYK-160, DISPERBYK-161, DISPERBYK-162, DISPERBYK-163, DISPERBYK-164, DISPERBYK-165, DISPERBYK-166, DISPERBYK-170, DISPERBYK-171, DISPERBYK-182, DISPERBYK-2000, DISPERBYK-2001, etc. produced by BYK;

[0238] EFKA-47, EFKA-47EA, EFKA-48, EFKA-49, EFKA-100, EFKA-400, EFKA-450, etc. from EFKA Chemical Company; Solsperse 5000, Solsperse 12000, Solsperse 13240, Solsperse 13940, Solsperse 17000, Solsperse 20000, Solsperse 24000GR, Solsperse 27000, Solsperse 28000, etc. from Zeneka Company; or PB711, PB821, etc. from Ajinomoto Company.

[0239] The content of the dispersant in the total amount of the photosensitive resin composition may be 0.1 wt % to 15 wt %. When the content of the dispersant is within the above range, the composition has excellent dispersibility, and accordingly, when preparing a light shielding layer, the stability, developability and patternability are excellent.

[0240] The pigment can also be pre-treated with a water-soluble inorganic salt and a wetting agent before use. When the pigment is used after the pre-treatment, the average particle size of the pigment can be refined.

[0241] The pretreatment is achieved by kneading the pigment together with a water-soluble inorganic salt and a wetting agent; and then filtering and washing the pigment obtained in the kneading step.

[0242] The kneading may be performed at a temperature of 40° C. to 100° C., and the filtering and washing may be performed by washing the inorganic salt with water or the like and filtering.

[0243] For example, the water-soluble inorganic salts include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, etc., but are not limited thereto.

[0244] The wetting agent uniformly mixes the pigment and the water-soluble inorganic salt, thereby playing the role of a medium that makes the pigment easy to crush. For example, the wetting agent includes: alkylene glycol monoalkyl ethers such as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether; alcohols such as ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, hexanol, cyclohexanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and glycerin polyethylene glycol, and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0245] The pigment subjected to the kneading step may have an average particle size of 20 nm to 110 nm. When the average particle size of the pigment is within the above range, not only heat resistance and light resistance are excellent, but also a fine pattern can be effectively formed.

[0246] The content of the pigment in the total amount of the photosensitive resin composition may be 1% to 40% by weight, more specifically, 2% to 30% by weight. When the pigment is included within the above range, the color reproduction rate is excellent, and the curability and adhesion of the pattern are also excellent.

[0247] (5) Solvent

[0248] The solvent is compatible with the cardo-based resin, the reactive unsaturated compound, the pigment, the cardo-based compound, and the initiator, and a non-reactive substance may be used.

[0249] For example, the solvent includes: alcohols such as methanol and ethanol; ethers such as dichloroethyl ether, n-butyl ether, diisoamyl ether, anisole, tetrahydrofuran, etc.; glycol ethers such as ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether; ethyl acetate glycol ethers such as methoxyethyl acetate, ethoxyethyl acetate, and diethoxyethyl acetate; carbitols such as methyl ethyl carbitol, diethyl carbitol, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ethyl ether, and diethylene glycol diethyl ether; propylene glycol Propylene glycol alkyl ether acetates such as methyl ether acetate and propylene glycol propyl ether acetate; aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene; ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, methyl-n-propyl ketone, methyl-n-butyl ketone, methyl-n-di-n-amyl ketone, 2-heptanone; saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid alkyl esters such as ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate; lactic acid esters such as methyl lactate and ethyl lactate; oxyacetic acid alkyl esters such as methyl oxyacetate, ethyl oxyacetate, methyl oxyacetate, butyl oxyacetate; methoxy Alkoxyacetic acid alkyl esters such as methyl acetate, methoxyethyl acetate, methoxybutyl acetate, ethoxymethyl acetate, ethoxyethyl acetate, etc.; 3-oxopropionic acid alkyl esters such as methyl 3-oxopropionate, ethyl 3-oxopropionate, etc.; 3-alkoxypropionic acid alkyl esters such as methyl 3-methoxypropionate, ethyl 3-methoxypropionate, ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate, methyl 3-ethoxypropionate, etc.; 2-oxopropionic acid alkyl esters such as methyl 2-oxopropionate, ethyl 2-oxopropionate, propyl 2-oxopropionate, etc.; methyl 2-methoxypropionate, ethyl 2-methoxypropionate, ethyl 2-ethoxypropionate, etc. 2-alkoxypropionic acid alkyl esters such as ethyl 2-ethoxypropionate, methyl 2-ethoxypropionate; 2-oxy-2-methylpropionic acid esters such as methyl 2-oxy-2-methylpropionate and ethyl 2-oxy-2-methylpropionate; monooxymonocarboxylic acid alkyl esters of 2-alkoxy-2-methylpropionic acid alkyl such as methyl 2-methoxy-2-methylpropionate and ethyl 2-ethoxy-2-methylpropionate; esters such as ethyl 2-hydroxypropionate, ethyl 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate, ethyl hydroxyacetate, methyl 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoate; keto acid esters such as ethyl pyruvate, etc.

[0250] In addition, high boiling point solvents such as N-methylformamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylformanilide, N-methylacetamide, N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, benzyl ethyl ether, dihexyl ether, acetylacetone, isophorone, hexanoic acid, octanoic acid, 1-octanol, 1-nonanol, benzyl alcohol, benzyl acetate, ethyl benzoate, diethyl oxalate, diethyl maleate, γ-butyrolactone, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, and ethylene glycol phenyl acetate can be used.

[0252] In the total amount of the photosensitive resin composition, the solvent may be included as a balance, specifically, the content may be 40 to 90% by weight. When the content of the solvent is included in the range, the photosensitive resin composition may have an appropriate viscosity, thereby achieving excellent processability when preparing a pattern layer.

[0253] (6) Other additives

[0254] In order to prevent the occurrence of marks or spots, improve the leveling performance and prevent the generation of residues due to undevelopment when applying the photosensitive composition, the composition may further include additives such as malonic acid; 3-amino-1,2-propanediol; a silane coupling agent containing a vinyl or (meth)acryloxy group; a leveling agent; a fluorine-based surfactant; a silane-based surfactant; and a free radical polymerization initiator.

[0255] For example, in order to improve adhesion to a substrate, the photosensitive resin composition may further include a silane coupling agent having a reactive substituent such as a vinyl group, a carboxyl group, a methacryloxy group, an isocyanate group, or an epoxy group.

[0256] For example, the silane coupling agent includes trimethoxysilylbenzoic acid, γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltriacetoxysilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, γ-isocyanatepropyltrioxysilane, γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, β-epoxycyclohexylethyltrimethoxysilane, etc., which can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0257] The weight part of the silane coupling agent may be 0.01 parts by weight to 10 parts by weight in 100 parts by weight of the photosensitive resin composition. When the weight part of the silane coupling agent is within the above range, the adhesion and storage properties are excellent.

[0258] Furthermore, the photosensitive resin composition may further include a surfactant, such as a fluorine-based surfactant or a silane-based surfactant, as required. The surfactant has the effects of improving coating properties and preventing defects.

[0259] The fluorine-based surfactant can be the following fluorine-based surfactants available on the market: etc.; Dainippon Ink & Chemicals Co., Ltd.'s mecha package Same style Same style Same style etc.; Lard from Sumitomo 3M Co. Same style Same style Same style etc.; Saffron from Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. Same style Same style Same style Same style etc.; Toray Silicon Corporation Same Style- Same Style- wait.

[0260] The silane-based surfactant can be the following commercially available silane-based surfactant: 3030, 3034, 3886, etc.; 3030, 3085, 3236, etc. from AFCONA; BYK-379, BYK-3550, BYK-3751, BYK-3754, etc. from BYK.

[0261] In 100 parts by weight of the photosensitive resin composition, the weight of the surfactant can be 0.001 parts by weight to 5 parts by weight. When the weight of the surfactant is within the range, the uniformity of the coating can be ensured, no spots will occur, and the wettability of the glass substrate is excellent. In addition, the photosensitive resin composition can be added with a certain amount of antioxidants, stabilizers and other additives within the range that does not damage the physical properties.

[0262] Another implementation example can use the photosensitive resin composition to form a patterned pixel defining layer on the pixel separation portion of the organic light emitting element electrode.

[0263] Below, reference Figure 1 An organic light-emitting display device is described. The organic light-emitting display device described in the implementation example of the present invention may include a substrate 1, a TFT layer 2 on the substrate, a planarization layer 3 on the TFT layer, an organic light-emitting element layer 6 on the planarization layer, an encapsulation layer 7 disposed on the organic light-emitting element layer, a touch panel 8 disposed on the encapsulation layer, a color filter 9 disposed on the touch panel, an OCA layer 11 disposed on the color filter, and a cover glass layer 12 disposed on the OCA layer.

[0264] Preferably, the pixel defining layer 5 of the present invention is formed on the pixel electrode 4 .

[0265] Preferably, according to the transmittance of the photomask (0% (non-exposed part), 15-60% (Half-tone) and 100% (Full-tone)), the pixel defining layer 5 is formed into more than one layer. Further preferably, the transmittance of the photomask is 0% (non-exposed part), 20-50% (Half-tone) and 100% (Full-tone). Further preferably, it is formed into a double layer consisting of half-tone on full-tone.

[0266] According to the transmittance of the photomask, the half-tone thickness is preferably 30% to 80% of the full-tone thickness, and more preferably 35% to 70%. When the half-tone thickness is less than 30% of the full-tone thickness, the pixel size becomes larger and the brightness increases, but the durability of the prepared pixel definition layer decreases. When the half-tone thickness exceeds 80% of the full-tone thickness, the brightness and life of the component decrease, and the efficiency is low.

[0267] The substrate 1 may be a flexible substrate. The substrate may be made of plastics having excellent heat resistance and durability, such as polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polycarbonate (PC), polyarylate (PAR), polyetherimide (PEI), and polyethersulfone (PES).

[0268] However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various flexible materials such as metal foil or thin glass can be used. In addition, the substrate can be a rigid substrate, in which case the substrate can be made of glass material with SiO2 as the main component.

[0269] The bottom emission type will display an image along the direction of the substrate, and the substrate should be formed of a transparent material. However, the top emission type will display an image along the opposite direction of the substrate, and it is not necessary to use a transparent material to form the substrate. In this case, the substrate can be formed of a metal. When the substrate is formed of a metal, the substrate can include one or more selected from the group consisting of carbon, iron, chromium, manganese, nickel, titanium, molybdenum and stainless steel (SUS), but is not limited thereto.

[0270] The substrate may be provided with a TFT layer 2. The term TFT layer mentioned in this specification is a general term for a thin film transistor (TFT) array that drives an organic light emitting element, and means a driving part that displays an image. Figure 1 Only the organic light-emitting element and the driving thin film transistor for driving the organic light-emitting element are shown for the convenience of description only. The present invention is not limited by the drawings. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that it further includes multiple thin film transistors, storage capacitors and various wirings.

[0271] The TFT layer is covered by the planarization layer 3 and protected. The planarization layer may include: an inorganic insulating film and / or an organic insulating film. For example, the inorganic insulating film that may be used for the planarization layer may include: silicon oxide (SiO2), silicon nitride (SiN x ), silicon oxynitride (SiON), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), titanium oxide (TiO2), tantalum oxide (Ta2O5), hafnium oxide (HfO2), zirconium oxide (ZrO2), barium strontium titanate (BST; Barium Strontium Titanate), lead zirconate-titanate (PZT; Lead Zirconate-Titanate), etc.

[0272] And, for example, the organic insulating film that can be used for the planarization layer 3 may include: conventional general-purpose polymers (PMMA, PS), polymer derivatives with phenolic groups, acrylic polymers, imide polymers, aromatic ether polymers, amide polymers, fluorine polymers, p-xylene polymers, vinyl alcohol polymers and mixtures thereof, etc.

[0273] In addition, the planarization layer may also have a composite laminated structure of an inorganic insulating film and an organic insulating film. Furthermore, the planarization layer may include the photosensitive composition of the present invention. As described above, the content related to the photosensitive composition of the present invention is equivalent to the content related to the above-mentioned first embodiment of the present invention, and the description thereof is omitted here.

[0274] An organic light-emitting element layer may be formed on the upper part of the planarization layer. The organic light-emitting element layer may include a pixel electrode 4 formed on the planarization layer, a counter electrode 7 arranged opposite thereto, and an organic layer 6 interposed therebetween. When a voltage is input between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode, the organic layer may emit light. The organic layer may emit red light, green light, blue light or white light, etc. In order to display a color image when the organic layer emits white light, or to improve color purity and light efficiency when the organic layer emits red light, green light, and blue light, the organic light-emitting display device may further include blue, green, and red color filters.

[0275] According to the direction of light emission, organic light-emitting display devices can be divided into bottom emission type, top emission type and dual emission type. In a bottom emission type organic light-emitting display device, the pixel electrode is configured as a light-transmitting electrode, and the counter electrode is configured as a reflective electrode. In a top emission type organic light-emitting display device, the pixel electrode is configured as a reflective electrode, and the counter electrode is configured as a semi-transmittable electrode. The present invention is described based on the top emission type in which the organic light-emitting element emits light toward the encapsulation layer.

[0276] The pixel electrode may be a reflective electrode. The pixel electrode may include a stacked structure of a reflective layer and a transparent or semi-transparent electrode layer with a high work function. The reflective layer may contain Ag, Mg, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Ir, Cr or alloys thereof. The transparent or semi-transparent electrode layer may contain at least one substance selected from transparent conductive oxide substances, and the transparent conductive oxide substance includes indium tin oxide (ITO; indium tin oxide), indium zinc oxide (IZO; indium zinc oxide), zinc oxide (ZnO; zinc oxide), indium oxide (In2O3; indium oxide), indium gallium oxide (IGO;

[0277] indium gallium oxide) and aluminum zinc oxide (AZO; aluminum zinc oxide), etc.

[0278] The reflectivity can be changed by adjusting the thickness of the reflective layer and the electrode layer of the pixel electrode. Preferably, the thickness of the electrode layer is 50 to More preferably, it is 80 to Preferably, the thickness of the reflective layer is 500 to More preferably, 800 to

[0279] The pixel electrodes may be patterned in island shapes corresponding to the pixels.

[0280] Also, the pixel electrode may function as an anode electrode.

[0281] In addition, a pixel defining film 5 may be disposed on the pixel electrode, and the pixel defining film 5 includes a given opening portion that covers the edge of the pixel electrode and exposes the central portion of the pixel electrode. An organic layer may be disposed on the area limited by the opening portion, and the organic layer includes an organic light-emitting layer that emits light. The area where the organic layer is disposed may be defined as a light-emitting area.

[0282] In addition, when a light-emitting area is formed in the opening of the pixel defining film, an area protruding from the pixel defining film is arranged between the light-emitting areas. The protruding area does not form an organic light-emitting layer, and therefore, can be defined as a non-light-emitting area. The pixel defining film may include the photosensitive composition of the present invention. As described above, the content related to the photosensitive composition of the present invention is equivalent to the content related to the above-mentioned first embodiment of the present invention, and its description is omitted here.

[0283] The counter electrode may be formed as a transmissive electrode. The counter electrode may be a semi-transmissive thin film made by thinning a metal with a small work function such as Li, Ca, LiF / Ca, LiF / Al, Al, Mg, Ag, etc. In order to remedy the high impedance problem of the semi-transmissive thin metal film, a transparent conductive film composed of a transparent conductive oxide may be stacked on the semi-transmissive metal film.

[0284] The counter electrode can be formed by covering the entire substrate in the form of a common electrode.

[0285] Also, the counter electrode may serve as a cathode electrode.

[0286] The pixel electrode and the counter electrode may have opposite polarities.

[0287] The organic layer includes an organic light-emitting layer that emits light, and the organic light-emitting layer can be made of low-molecular organic matter or high-molecular organic matter. When the organic light-emitting layer is a low-molecular organic layer formed of low-molecular organic matter, a hole transport layer (HTL) and a hole injection layer (HIL) are arranged along the direction of the pixel electrode with the organic light-emitting layer as the center, and an electron transport layer (ETL) and an electron injection layer (EIL) are arranged along the direction of the counter electrode.

[0288] Of course, in addition to the hole injection layer, hole transport layer, electron transport layer, and electron injection layer, other functional layers may be stacked.

[0289] An encapsulation layer 7 is disposed on the organic light-emitting element layer to cover the organic light-emitting element layer. The organic light-emitting element included in the organic light-emitting element layer is composed of organic matter and is easily degraded by external moisture or oxygen. Therefore, in order to protect such an organic light-emitting element, the organic light-emitting element layer needs to be encapsulated. The encapsulation layer is a means of encapsulating the organic light-emitting element layer, and has a structure of alternately stacking multiple inorganic films and multiple organic films.

[0290] Preferably, the organic light-emitting display device of this implementation example does not use a packaging substrate, but instead uses a thin film of alternately stacked multiple inorganic films and multiple organic films to form a packaging layer. The thin film can be used through packaging means to achieve flexibility and thinness of the organic light-emitting display device.

[0291] The encapsulation layer may include a plurality of inorganic films and a plurality of organic films, and the inorganic films and the organic films may be alternately stacked.

[0292] The inorganic film may be composed of a metal oxide, a metal nitride, a metal carbide, or a combination thereof. For example, the inorganic film may be composed of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, or silicon nitride. In another example, the inorganic film may include a stacked structure of multiple inorganic insulating layers. The inorganic film has the following function, namely, inhibiting external moisture and / or oxygen from penetrating into the organic light-emitting element layer.

[0293] The organic film may be a high molecular organic compound. For example, the organic film may contain one of epoxy, acrylate or polyurethane acrylate. The organic film has the following functions: it can relieve the internal pressure of the inorganic film or remedy the defects of the inorganic film and make it flat.

[0294] The stacking order of the inorganic film and the organic film constituting the encapsulation layer is not limited. An organic film or an inorganic film may be stacked on the organic light-emitting element layer, and the topmost layer of the encapsulation layer may also be an organic film or an inorganic film.

[0295] A touch panel 8 may be formed on the packaging layer. The touch panel may include a first touch electrode formed on the packaging layer, a second touch electrode arranged opposite to the first touch electrode, and an insulating layer interposed therebetween.

[0296] The first touch electrode and the second touch electrode may be formed in a grid pattern or a specific pattern. The first touch electrode may contact an upper portion of the encapsulation layer, and an inorganic layer may be further provided between the encapsulation layer and the first touch electrode.

[0297] The first touch electrode and the second touch electrode may be formed as ITO or a metal mesh, and preferably, formed as a metal mesh.

[0298] Metal mesh is an electrode made of opaque metal (copper, silver, gold, aluminum, etc.) with a thickness of 1 to 7 μm, which is printed into a grid-shaped electrode. It uses a highly conductive metal and has the advantages of low resistance, fast touch response speed, easy realization of large screens, and lower cost than ITO film. In addition, metal mesh electrodes are more durable than ITO electrodes for repeated bending and are suitable for touch panel electrodes of foldable displays.

[0299] Preferably, the following electrostatic capacitance type touch panel is used, that is, when a user touches the touch panel, the touch panel uses the electrostatic capacitance of the human body to identify the part where the current amount changes, calculates the size, and detects the position.

[0300] The organic light-emitting display device described in the present invention is not limited to the drawings. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that it further includes the following components: a Control IC, which converts the analog signal transmitted by the touch panel into a digital signal, and controls the coordinate value required for determining the coordinates of the touch area; a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), which is formed with an optical ceal adhesive, conductive and signal line patterns, and transmits various signals to electronic components, etc.; and various electronic components and various wirings in addition.

[0301] A color filter may be formed on the touch panel. The color filter is located on the upper part of the touch panel and may include: a color portion 10, which is neatly arranged along a direction perpendicular to the light-emitting area of ​​the organic light-emitting element layer; and a color separator 11, which is neatly arranged perpendicularly to the non-light-emitting area to divide the color portion.

[0302] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the positions of the layers in the structure of the organic light-emitting display device are not limited, and multiple functional layers with specific purposes and functions can be further configured between the layers. The organic light-emitting display device of the present invention is not limited by the above structure and drawings.

[0303] Hereinafter, the synthesis examples and examples of the present invention will be described in detail, but the synthesis examples and examples of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0318] The method for preparing a negative pixel definition layer (negative PDL) using the photosensitive composition is as follows.

[0319] (1) Coating and coating steps

[0320] On a cleaned and metal-evaporated 10cm*10cm substrate, a photosensitive composition is coated with a constant thickness using a spin coater, and then a portion of the solvent is removed using a vacuum chamber dry (VCD) to form a coating film. The thickness of the coating of the photosensitive composition after VCD is 3.5 microns to 3.3 microns.

[0321] (2) Pre-baking step

[0322] On a hot plate, heat at 80°C to 150°C, preferably at 90°C to 120°C for 50 seconds to 200 seconds, preferably for 60 seconds to 180 seconds, and more preferably for 100 seconds to 150 seconds, so as to remove the solvent contained in the obtained coating film. This process removes a certain amount of solvent so as to reduce mask contamination of pixel morphology when implementing the next process (exposure) step and prepare a clean pattern.

[0323] (3) Exposure Step

[0324] On the coating film obtained above, a mask of a given shape is interspersed to form a desired pattern and a certain thickness. Then, 190nm to 600nm actinic rays are irradiated by an exposure machine. Preferably, a metal or LED light source with ghi-line can be irradiated to form a pattern. The exposure amount for pattern formation is 20 to 400mJ / cm 2 , preferably, 90 mJ / cm 2 Up to 300mJ / cm 2 The photoresist material of the negative type has a transmittance of three sections, namely, 0% (non-exposed part), 15 to 60% (half-tone) and 100% (full-tone), forming a pattern.

[0325] (4) Development step

[0326] After the exposure step is implemented, the image is then developed by dipping using a 2.38wt% developer of TMAH (tetramethylhydroxyammonium) at 23±2°C for a certain time (minutes), the development time being 30 to 60 seconds, and then rinsed with deionized water (DI water) to dissolve and remove the unexposed parts, leaving only the exposed parts to form an image pattern.

[0327] After the development step, preferably, the half-tone thickness is 1.25 μm to 2.20 μm, more preferably, 1.40 to 2.00 μm. And, after the development step, the full-tone thickness is 3.20 μm to 3.42 μm, more preferably, 3.25 to 3.35 μm.

[0328] (5) Pattern and thickness analysis

[0329] The morphology and thickness of the pattern cross section were detected using a scanning electron microscope (JEOL) to confirm the pattern and thickness of the image obtained by the development. For the highest pattern in the lower part, its upper part was defined as Full-tone, and its central part was defined as Half-tone, and the height formed by the exposure amount was confirmed. The size of the Blue pixel was detected based on the length of the long axis. Preferably, the long axis length of the Blue pixel is greater than 21.3 μm and less than 25.0 μm.

[0330] (6) Component reliability evaluation

[0331] The photosensitive composition was used to form a pattern on a substrate through the above steps (1) to (4) and post-bake to produce a test piece. Then, in order to evaluate the reliability of the element, an organic material was evaporated and the brightness (luminance) and reliability test factors were confirmed. The current value during the evaluation was fixed at 14.2J for evaluation.

[0333]

[0334]

[0335] Using 100mJ / cm 2 The substrate was obtained by developing for 60 seconds after irradiation with an intensity exposure of 1000 μm, and the half-tone thickness (μm) and full-tone thickness (μm) were detected and compared. Referring to Examples 1 to 10, it can be seen that when the transmittance of the photomask is 15% or more and 60% or less, the thickness of the half-tone and full-tone is within the range of 30% or more and 80% or less, and the pixel size is within the range of 21.3μm or more and 25.0μm or less, showing an appropriate size.

[0336] Referring to Comparative Example 1 in Table 2 above, it can be seen that when the transmittance of the irradiated photomask is less than 15%, Half-tone is less than 1.25μm and Full-tone is less than 3.20μm, which confirms that the thickness becomes smaller. This is because the low transmittance of the Mask leads to a low degree of photocuring of the photosensitive composition. The pixel size becomes larger, resulting in an increase in brightness, but this will cause the durability of the prepared pixel defining layer to decrease. In addition, it is confirmed from Comparative Example 2 that when the transmittance of the photomask exceeds 60%, Half-tone exceeds 2.20μm and Full-tone exceeds 3.42μm, resulting in a higher thickness. At this time, the pixel size does not reach 21.3

[0337] μm, therefore, it has the disadvantage of reduced brightness and lifespan.
