Description
Display substrate, manufacturing method thereof and display device TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of display, and in particular, to a display substrate, a manufacturing method thereof and a display device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Micro Light-Emitting Diode (Micro LED) is a light-emitting diode with a micron-level size. Since the size of the Micro LED is small, it can be used as a pixel on a display panel. A display substrate prepared by using the Micro LED can be referred to as a Micro LED display substrate. In the Micro LED product, the Micro LED technology is to miniaturize the size of the existing LED to less than 100 um, which is about 1% of the size of the existing LED. Then, through a mass transfer technology, the Micro LED with a micron level is transferred to a driving substrate, thereby forming various Micro LED displays with different sizes. How to optimize the related structure of the display product to improve the display resolution is one of the important topics for researchers to study.

[0089] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0090] It should be noted that in the drawings, the size and relative size of the elements can be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. Thus, the size and relative sizes of the elements in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. In the description and drawings, identical or similar reference numerals indicate identical or similar components.
[0091] When an element is described as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, or "coupled to" another element, it can be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other element, or intervening elements can be present. However, when an element is described as being "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other terms and / or expressions used herein to describe relationships between elements should be interpreted in a like manner, such as "between" versus "directly between," "adjacent" versus "directly adjacent," or "on" versus "directly on" and the like. In addition, the term "connected" can refer to physical or electrical connectivity, communicative connectivity, and / or fluidic connectivity. Furthermore, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are not limited to the three axes of a rectangular coordinate system, and can be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis can be perpendicular to each other, or can represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. For the purposes of the present disclosure, "at least one of X, Y, and Z" and "at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z" can be interpreted to mean only X, only Y, only Z, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z such as XYZ, XY, YZ, and XZ. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated items.
[0092] It should be noted that, although the terms "first," "second," etc. can be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer and / or section from another element, component, region, layer and / or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer and / or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer and / or section without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure.
[0093] Spatially relative terms, such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and the like, can be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientations depicted in the figures. For example, if a device described is turned over in the figure, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features.
[0094] In this document, the terms "substantially," "approximately," "about," "generally," and other similar terms are used as terms of approximation, and not as terms of degree, and they are intended to account for the inherent deviations in measured or calculated values that would be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art. "About" or "approximately," as used herein when used in relation to a particular value, includes the stated value, plus or minus 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%, or within one or more standard deviations, as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, "about" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, ±20%, ±10%, ±5% of the stated value.
[0095] It should be noted that, in this document, the term "same layer" refers to a layer structure formed by using the same film formation process to form a film layer for forming a specific pattern, and then patterning the film layer by a one-time patterning process using the same mask. Depending on the specific pattern, the one-time patterning process can include multiple exposure, development or etching processes, and the specific pattern in the formed layer structure can be continuous or discontinuous. That is, the plurality of elements, components, structures and / or parts located in the "same layer" are composed of the same material and are formed by the same one-time patterning process, and generally, the plurality of elements, components, structures and / or parts located in the "same layer" have substantially the same thickness.
[0096] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, herein, the expression "height" or "thickness" refers to the dimension along the surface of each film layer arranged perpendicularly to the display substrate, i.e. the dimension along the light-out direction of the display substrate, or the dimension along the normal direction of the display device, unless otherwise specified.
[0097] In this document, the expression "transistor" can be a triode, a thin-film transistor or a field-effect transistor or other devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to distinguish the two poles of the transistor other than the control pole, one of the poles is referred to as the first pole and the other is referred to as the second pole. In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin-film transistor or a field-effect transistor, the first pole can be the drain and the second pole can be the source, or the first pole can be the source and the second pole can be the drain.

[0100] FIG. 2B schematically shows a cross-sectional view taken along BB' in FIG. 2A.
[0101] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2A, 2B, the display substrate includes a substrate 100, a drive circuit layer 200, a light-emitting device layer 300, and a conductive layer 400. The drive circuit layer 200 is located on the substrate 100, the light-emitting device layer 300 is located on the side of the drive circuit layer 200 away from the substrate 100 and is electrically connected to the drive circuit layer 200, and the conductive layer 400 is located on the side of the light-emitting device layer 300 away from the substrate 100 and is electrically connected to the light-emitting device layer 300.
[0102] The light-emitting device layer 300 includes a plurality of light-emitting devices 310 arranged in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y. The light-emitting device 310 includes a first electrode 311 located on the drive circuit layer 200, a light-emitting functional part 312 located on the side of the first electrode 311 away from the substrate 100, and a second electrode 313 located on the side of the light-emitting functional part 312 away from the substrate 100. The light-emitting device layer 300 includes at least one light-emitting unit 300G, and the light-emitting unit 300G includes at least two light-emitting devices 310 and one connecting electrode 320. Each light-emitting device 310 in the light-emitting unit 300G and one connecting electrode 320 are connected in series.
[0103] The conductive layer 400 includes at least one conductive part 410, a projection of the conductive part 410 on the substrate 100 at least partially overlaps a projection of the light emitting unit 300G on the substrate 100, and the conductive part 410 is electrically connected to the light emitting unit 300G to realize series connection of each light emitting device 310 in the light emitting unit 300G and one connection electrode 320.

[0105] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the display substrate further includes a partition part 500, and at least one partition part 500 is arranged between two adjacent first conductive sub-parts 411. By arranging the partition part 500 at a predetermined position, the conductive layer 400 formed is partitioned into a plurality of first conductive sub-parts 411 at intervals by the partition part 500, so that the conductive layer 400 with a predetermined pattern can be formed only by a thin film deposition process without performing a patterning process, saving the preparation process, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the display substrate. On the other hand, compared with the plurality of first conductive sub-parts 411 formed by the patterning process, the distance between the two adjacent first conductive sub-parts 411 partitioned by the partition part 500 can be significantly reduced, that is, the distance between the adjacent light emitting devices 310 can be narrowed, thereby realizing the improvement of the resolution of the display substrate.

The material of the N-type semiconductor part can include N-type gallium nitride, and the material of the P-type semiconductor part can include P-type gallium nitride.
[0108] For example, the light emitting part 3122 can include a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure, which can be a periodic structure in which gallium nitride (GaN) and indium gallium nitride (InGaN) are alternately arranged, but is not limited thereto.

By arranging the reflection parts REFa on the sidewalls of the light emitting devices 310, the light emitting efficiency of the light emitting devices 310 can be effectively improved, and thus the display brightness of the display substrate can be improved and the display power consumption of the display substrate can be reduced.
[0168] According to some exemplary embodiments, the reflection layer REF has a structure of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The DBR structure is a periodic structure formed by alternately arranging two materials with different refractive indices, and the optical thickness of each layer of material arranged alternately is one quarter of the center reflection wavelength. By designing the DBR material and structure, selective reflection of light of a specific wavelength band can be achieved. Referring to FIG. 8A, the reflection layer REF comprises at least two first reflection sub-layers REF1 and at least two second reflection sub-layers REF2, the at least two first reflection sub-layers REF1 and the at least two second reflection sub-layers REF2 being arranged alternately in a direction away from the substrate 100, the refractive index of the first reflection sub-layer REF1 being smaller than the refractive index of the second reflection sub-layer REF2.

Of course, other low refractive index materials and high refractive index materials can be selected according to the wavelength band of the reflected light, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0170] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 8A, the cover layer 600 further includes a passivation layer PVX between the reflective layer REF and the light emitting device 310, the passivation layer PVX and the reflective layer REF have a first opening K1 exposing at least a portion of the second electrode 313 of the light emitting device 310, and the first conductive sub-section 411 is electrically connected to the second electrode 313 of the light emitting device 310 through the first opening K1.
[0171] According to some exemplary embodiments, the first conductive sub-section 411 covers at least a portion of the sidewall of the light emitting device 310, the first conductive sub-section 411 includes a metal material with high reflectivity, and the first conductive sub-section 411 and the reflective section REFa form a composite reflective structure with high reflectivity, which can further improve the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device 310. For example, the first conductive sub-section 411 has a stacked film layer structure of Ti / Al / Ti with a thickness of 50 / 1000 / 100 angstroms or a stacked film layer structure of TiN / Al / Ti with a thickness of 50 / 1000 / 100 angstroms.

[0173] For example, the material of the first reflective sub-layer REF1 includes silicon oxide, and the material of the second reflective sub-layer REF2 includes niobium oxide. In the etching process for forming the reflective layer REF, the etching rate of the first reflective sub-layer REF1 can be adjusted to be less than that of the second reflective sub-layer REF2, so that the edge of the second partition sub-portion 500b is inwardly recessed compared with the first partition sub-portion 500a, i.e., the orthographic projection of the second partition sub-portion 500b on the substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the first partition sub-portion 500a on the substrate 100.
[0174] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 8A, in the two adjacent and electrically connected light emitting devices 310, there are two first partition portions 510 between the two first conductive sub-portions 411 electrically connected to the two light emitting devices 310 respectively, and the two first partition portions 510 are both located in the reflective layer REF. The maximum distance between the two first partition portions 510 is D1, and the maximum aperture of the first opening K1 in the reflective layer REF is D2. The inventors have found that when the size difference between D1 and D2 is large, for example, D1≤1 / 2*D2, the sidewall of the first partition portion 510 formed by the etching process has an undercut structure, and the reflective portion REFa at the first opening K1 has a smooth sidewall structure, by adjusting the etching process parameters.
[0175] It is additionally explained that, in the first partition portion 510, when the edge of the second partition sub-portion 500b is inwardly recessed compared with the first partition sub-portion 500a, the maximum distance D1 between the two first partition portions 510 is the distance between the two second partition sub-portions 500b located in the same layer of the second reflective sub-layer REF2; when the edge of the first partition sub-portion 500a is inwardly recessed compared with the second partition sub-portion 500b, the maximum distance D1 between the two first partition portions 510 is the distance between the two first partition sub-portions 500a located in the same layer of the first reflective sub-layer REF1. The cross-sectional shape of the first opening K1 in the reflective layer REF is approximately inverted trapezoidal, and the maximum aperture D2 of the first opening K1 in the reflective layer REF is the opening aperture on the side of the first opening K1 away from the substrate 100.
[0176] FIG. 8B shows a cross-sectional view of the etched cross section of the alternating silicon oxide film and niobium oxide film at the first opening, characterized by a scanning electron microscope. FIG. 8C shows a cross-sectional view of the etched cross section of the alternating silicon oxide film and niobium oxide film at the second opening, characterized by a scanning electron microscope.
[0177] In order to achieve the formation of the partition portion with an undercut structure and the opening without an undercut structure in one etching process, the inventors have conducted the following experimental verification:
[0178] Depositing silicon oxide thin film and niobium oxide thin film alternately on a glass substrate, and forming a photoresist layer on the film layer by a photolithography process, the photoresist layer has a first opening with an aperture of 0.4 μm and a second opening with an aperture of 10 μm, and finally performing dry etching process on the lower film layer under the shielding of the photoresist layer.
[0179] Performing structural characterization on the etched substrate under a scanning electron microscope, the cross-sectional morphology of the film layer after etching at the first opening is shown in FIG. 8B, it can be seen that the edge of the niobium oxide thin film is obviously retracted compared with the edge of the silicon oxide thin film, i.e. undercut structure is formed; the cross-sectional morphology of the film layer after etching at the second opening is shown in FIG. 8C, it can be seen that the edge of the niobium oxide thin film is smoothly connected with the silicon oxide thin film, and no undercut structure is formed.
