Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] As AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light emitting diode) display products gradually develop in the direction of high resolution and high brightness, higher light extraction efficiency is required. However, since the light emitted by the light-emitting components in OLED display products needs to pass through many film layers to enter the external environment, there are differences in refractive index between these film layers, which causes some light to be reflected in these film layers and cause light loss. In order to improve the luminous brightness of OLED products, the current mainstream technology is to introduce MLA (Microlens Array) technology in the substrate preparation process, and improve the light extraction effect by preparing the reflective surface into a concave mirror. However, how to form a regular concave shape faces many technical challenges. A common technical means is to etch the interlayer dielectric layer to form many regular and densely packed pits, and then deposit the anode after patterning to also have a concave shape. The subsequent light-emitting layer and cathode, etc., are all concave, so they will have a good divergence effect on the light emitted by the light-emitting layer, thereby significantly improving the light extraction effect, and then significantly improving the display quality of the display product.

[0029] As AMOLED display products gradually develop in the direction of high resolution and high brightness, a higher light extraction rate is required. However, since the light emitted by the light-emitting components in OLED display products needs to pass through many film layers before entering the external environment, there are differences in the refractive index between these film layers, causing part of the light to be reflected in these film layers and causing light loss. In the prior art, in order to improve the luminous brightness of OLED products, MLA (Microlens Array) technology is mainly used in the substrate preparation process, and the light extraction effect is improved by preparing the reflective surface into a concave mirror. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the commonly used concave mirrors are regularly distributed on hemispherical surfaces, and the hemispheres are closely packed with each other so that they present a regular hexagonal distribution when viewed from above. A relatively high tip structure T is formed at the intersection of the three hemispheres. Subsequently, the anode film layer at the tip structure T is easy to fall off or absorb foreign matter, etc., which can easily lead to piercing the light-emitting layer and causing a short circuit between the anode and the cathode, thereby causing problems such as dark spots.
[0030] In the first aspect, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate, which includes a base substrate 1, an interlayer dielectric layer 17 disposed on the base substrate 1, and a pixel unit, wherein the pixel unit includes a plurality of concave microstructures 18 formed on the interlayer dielectric layer 17, and a light-emitting device located on the side of the interlayer dielectric layer 17 away from the base substrate 1. It is characterized in that for each pixel unit, when the width of the first region 19 between the adjacent concave microstructures 18 is less than 1 micron, the adjacent multiple concave microstructures 18 define a first region 19, and it is characterized in that the first region 19 includes a tip structure T formed by extrusion of the multiple adjacent concave microstructures 18. The first electrode 20 of the light-emitting device and the tip structure T of the first region 19 have no overlap in their orthographic projection on the base substrate 1. The above-mentioned patterning method can well avoid the problem that the first electrode 20 at the first region 19 is easy to fall off or adsorb foreign matter, which causes the piercing of the light-emitting layer 21, resulting in a short circuit between the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 22, thereby causing problems such as dark spots. In addition, the interlayer dielectric layer 17 is etched to form many regularly and closely packed concave microstructures 18. Since the concave microstructure 18 has a concave shape, the first electrode 20 after deposition and patterning also has a concave shape. The light-emitting layer 21 and the second electrode 22 formed in sequence subsequently have a concave shape. Therefore, they have a good divergent effect on the light emitted by the light-emitting layer, thereby significantly improving the light extraction effect, and further significantly improving the display quality of the display product.
[0031] It should be noted that the interlayer dielectric layer 17 is a planarization layer, and the concave microstructure 18 is obtained by etching the side of the planarization layer away from the substrate base plate 1 .
[0032] In order to make the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the following describes them in conjunction with specific examples.
[0033] The present disclosure provides a display substrate, such as Figure 3As shown, it includes a base substrate 1, an interlayer dielectric layer 17 arranged on the base substrate 1, a color group layer 16 arranged on the side of the interlayer dielectric layer 17 close to the base substrate 1, and a pixel unit. It is characterized in that the pixel unit includes a light shielding layer 2, a pixel driving circuit, a concave microstructure 18 and a light-emitting device. It is characterized in that the light-emitting device includes a first electrode 20, a light-emitting layer 21 and a second electrode 22 arranged in sequence. For each pixel unit, a plurality of adjacently arranged concave microstructures 18 define a first area 19, and the first electrode 20 of the light-emitting device and the orthographic projection of the first area 19 on the base substrate 1 do not overlap. The above-mentioned patterning method can well avoid the problem that the first electrode 20 at the first area 19 is easy to fall off or adsorb foreign matter, which causes the light-emitting layer 21 to pierce, resulting in a short circuit between the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 22, thereby causing problems such as dark spots. The interlayer dielectric layer 17 is etched to form many regularly and closely packed concave microstructures 18. Since the concave microstructures 18 have a concave shape, the first electrode 20 after deposition and patterning also has a concave shape. The light-emitting layer 21 and the second electrode 22 formed in sequence subsequently have a concave shape, so they have a good divergent effect on the light emitted by the light-emitting layer, thereby significantly improving the light extraction effect, and further significantly improving the display quality of the display product.
[0034] It should be noted that the pixel driving circuit of the display substrate in the embodiment of the present disclosure adopts the following Figure 5 The pixel driving circuit of the 3T1C structure shown includes: a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, a capacitor Cst and a light-emitting device OLED, and the light-emitting device OLED can be an organic light-emitting diode. It is characterized in that the source of the first transistor T1 is connected to the gate line DATA, the gate is connected to the first gate line G1, and the data line is connected to the gate of the third transistor T3; the source of the second transistor T2 is connected to the source of the third transistor T3, the gate is connected to the second gate line G2, and the drain is connected to the detection interface Sense; the source of the third transistor T3 is connected to the light-emitting device OLED, the gate is connected to the first transistor T1, and the drain is connected to the first power supply voltage VDD; the first plate of the capacitor Cst is connected to the drain of the first transistor T1, and the second plate is connected to the source of the second transistor T2; the first electrode of the light-emitting device OLED is connected to the ground electrode VSS, and the second electrode is connected to the source of the third transistor T3. The third transistor T3 is a driving transistor. The embodiment of the present application adopts a pixel driving circuit of the 3T1C structure to effectively compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor in each pixel, uses fewer components, has a simple and stable structure, and saves costs.
[0035] In some examples, such as Figure 6As shown, the width of the gap between adjacent concave microstructures 18 is greater than or equal to 1 micron. Since there is no overlap between the concave microstructures 18, multiple flat structures F are formed in the gaps between multiple adjacent concave microstructures 18, thereby avoiding the adjacent concave microstructures 18 from being squeezed in the first area 19 to form a pointed structure T, fundamentally preventing the first electrode 20 in the first area 19 from easily falling off or absorbing foreign matter, which may cause the light-emitting layer 21 to be pierced, resulting in a short circuit between the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 22, thereby causing dark spots and other problems.
[0036] In some examples, the pixel driving circuit includes a thin film transistor, which is a top-gate thin film transistor. The top-gate thin film transistor has the characteristics of a short channel, so its on-state current can be effectively improved, thereby significantly improving the display effect and effectively reducing power consumption. In addition, the gate 6 of the top-gate thin film transistor has a small overlapping area with the source and drain, so the parasitic capacitance generated is small, so the possibility of dark spot defects is also reduced.
[0037] In some examples, the light shielding layer 2 is disposed on a side of the active layer 4 of the thin film transistor close to the base substrate 1, and the orthographic projection of the light shielding layer 2 on the base substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the active layer of the thin film transistor on the base substrate 1. In addition, the part where the orthographic projection of the active layer 4 on the base substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the gate insulating layer 5 on the base substrate 1 is processed by conductorization to form a conductor layer 7, and the lateral diffusion phenomenon when the active layer 4 is conductorized is used to increase the contact yield of the source electrode 10 and the drain electrode 9 with the conductor layer 7, that is, the contact yield with the edge of the active layer 4 is increased, thereby greatly improving the conduction characteristics of the thin film transistor device.
[0038] In some examples, the material of the active layer 4 of the thin film transistor includes indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), which has the advantages of high carrier mobility, large-area preparation, good uniformity, stable device performance, etc., and is compatible with the current amorphous silicon thin film transistor process, and is an ideal material in the display field.
[0039] In some examples, the color group layer 16 may include color filters of multiple colors, including: red filters, green filters and blue filters. The color filters can use filtering to produce the three primary colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B), and then mix the three primary colors in different proportions to produce various colors, so that the display substrate appears colorful.
[0040] In some examples, the source electrode 10 of the driving transistor is electrically connected to the first electrode 20 of the light emitting device and the light shielding layer 2. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the driving transistor can be used to regulate current and further control light emission.
[0041] In some examples, the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 22 materials include carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes have a one-dimensional hollow tubular structure, the tube wall is surrounded by a single layer or multiple layers of graphene sheets, the tube diameter is nanometer-level, the tube length is micrometer-level, and the aspect ratio is huge. Its properties will change due to the different curling methods of the graphene sheets, reflecting metallic or semiconductor properties, and have good electrical conductivity. Secondly, carbon nanotubes have good thermal conductivity, and the axial thermal conductivity is 2000-3000W / mK, which is about 10 times that of copper and 3 times that of diamond. Thirdly, carbon nanotubes have a large specific surface area and strong adsorption performance; at the same time, they have good electromagnetic wave absorption and other properties.

[0070] By utilizing the lateral diffusion phenomenon when the active layer 4 is conductive, the contact yield between the source electrode 10 and the drain electrode 9 and the edge of the active layer 4 is increased, thereby greatly improving the conduction characteristics of the thin film transistor device.

[0114] It should be noted that the pixel driving circuit of the display substrate in the embodiment of the present disclosure adopts the following Figure 5The pixel driving circuit of the 3T1C structure shown includes: a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, a capacitor Cst and a light-emitting device OLED, and the light-emitting device OLED can be an organic light-emitting diode. It is characterized in that the source of the first transistor T1 is connected to the gate line DATA, the gate is connected to the first gate line G1, and the data line is connected to the gate of the third transistor T3; the source of the second transistor T2 is connected to the source of the third transistor T3, the gate is connected to the second gate line G2, and the drain is connected to the detection interface Sense; the source of the third transistor T3 is connected to the light-emitting device OLED, the gate is connected to the first transistor T1, and the drain is connected to the first power supply voltage VDD; the first plate of the capacitor Cst is connected to the drain of the first transistor T1, and the second plate is connected to the source of the second transistor T2; the first electrode of the light-emitting device OLED is connected to the ground electrode VSS, and the second electrode is connected to the source of the third transistor T3. The third transistor T3 is a driving transistor. The embodiment of the present application adopts a pixel driving circuit of the 3T1C structure to effectively compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor in each pixel, uses fewer components, has a simple and stable structure, and saves costs.
[0115] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the width of the gap between adjacent concave microstructures 18 is greater than or equal to 1 micron. Since there is no overlap between the concave microstructures 18, multiple flat structures F are formed in the gaps between multiple adjacent concave microstructures 18, thereby avoiding the adjacent concave microstructures 18 from being squeezed in the first area 19 to form a pointed structure T, fundamentally preventing the first electrode 20 in the first area 19 from easily falling off or absorbing foreign matter, which may cause the light-emitting layer 21 to be pierced, resulting in a short circuit between the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 22, thereby causing dark spots and other problems.
[0116] In some examples, the pixel driving circuit includes a thin film transistor, which is a top-gate thin film transistor. The top-gate thin film transistor has the characteristics of a short channel, so its on-state current can be effectively improved, thereby significantly improving the display effect and effectively reducing power consumption. In addition, the gate 6 of the top-gate thin film transistor has a small overlapping area with the source and drain, so the parasitic capacitance generated is small, so the possibility of dark spot defects is also reduced.
[0117] In some examples, the light shielding layer 2 is disposed on a side of the active layer 4 of the thin film transistor close to the base substrate 1, and the orthographic projection of the light shielding layer 2 on the base substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the active layer of the thin film transistor on the base substrate 1. In addition, the part where the orthographic projection of the active layer 4 on the base substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the gate insulating layer 5 on the base substrate 1 is processed by conductorization to form a conductor layer 7, and the lateral diffusion phenomenon when the active layer 4 is conductorized is used to increase the contact yield of the source electrode 10 and the drain electrode 9 with the conductor layer 7, that is, the contact yield with the edge of the active layer 4 is increased, thereby greatly improving the conduction characteristics of the thin film transistor device.
[0118] In some examples, the material of the active layer 4 of the thin film transistor includes indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), which has the advantages of high carrier mobility, large-area preparation, good uniformity, stable device performance, etc., and is compatible with the current amorphous silicon thin film transistor process, and is an ideal material in the display field.
[0119] In some examples, the color group layer 16 may include color filters of multiple colors. The color filters may generate the three primary colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) by filtering light, and then mix the three primary colors in different proportions to generate various colors, so that the display substrate appears colorful.
[0120] In some examples, the source electrode 10 of the driving transistor is electrically connected to the first electrode 20 of the light emitting device and the light shielding layer 2. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the driving transistor can be used to regulate current and further control light emission.
[0121] In some examples, the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 22 materials include carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes have a one-dimensional hollow tubular structure, the tube wall is surrounded by a single layer or multiple layers of graphene sheets, the tube diameter is nanometer-level, the tube length is micrometer-level, and the aspect ratio is huge. Its properties will change due to the different curling methods of the graphene sheets, reflecting metallic or semiconductor properties, and have good electrical conductivity. Secondly, carbon nanotubes have good thermal conductivity, and the axial thermal conductivity is 2000-3000W / mK, which is about 10 times that of copper and 3 times that of diamond. Thirdly, carbon nanotubes have a large specific surface area and strong adsorption performance; at the same time, they have good electromagnetic wave absorption and other properties.
