Description

Display substrate, display device Technical Field

[0001] This article relates to but is not limited to the field of display technology, and specifically to a display substrate and a display device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the diversified expansion of VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) application fields, the demand for VR and AR products has grown rapidly. The display panel of VR and AR products is one of their core hardware. More pixel viewpoints are needed to restore the real scene. The PPI (Pixels Per Inch) demand is getting higher and higher, and the resolution is generally required to be higher than 1500PPI. The higher the PPI demand of the display panel, the smaller the area occupied by a single pixel. As the pixel size decreases, the aperture ratio drops sharply, and the display brightness decreases accordingly, which seriously restricts the improvement of the display performance and application of AR / VR products. Increasing the aperture ratio and optimizing the light efficiency are crucial for AR / VR displays.

[0003] Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have rapidly developed due to their small size, low power consumption, and zero radiation. An LCD panel consists of a cell-aligned thin-film transistor (TFT) array substrate and a color filter (CF) substrate. Liquid crystal (LC) molecules are positioned between the array and CF substrates. By controlling the second and first electrodes, an electric field is generated to drive the liquid crystal deflection, achieving grayscale display.

Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0066] The scales in the figures in this disclosure are intended to serve as a reference for actual processes, but are not intended to be limiting. For example, the channel width-to-length ratio, the thickness and spacing of the various film layers, and the width and spacing of the various signal lines can be adjusted based on actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels within each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are merely schematic diagrams of the structures, and one embodiment of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the figures.

[0067] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number.

[0068] In this specification, for convenience, words and phrases indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside," are used to illustrate the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.

[0069] In this specification, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure.

[0070] In this specification, a transistor refers to a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0071] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or vice versa. The functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged, and "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.

[0072] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transfer of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.

[0073] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. Furthermore, "perpendicular" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.

[0074] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced with "insulating layer."

[0075] The triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons in this specification are not in the strict sense, but may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons, etc. There may be some small deformations caused by tolerances, and there may be chamfers, arc edges and deformations.

[0076] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly defined and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0077] Research by the inventors of this disclosure has revealed that existing liquid crystal display devices include pixel electrodes, common electrodes, routing areas, and via areas. The pixel electrodes are located in the opening area, the routing area includes data lines and gate lines, and the via area is filled with inorganic and organic materials. Both the routing area and the via area are obscured by the black matrix in the color filter substrate. For high-PPI products, increasing the aperture ratio can be achieved by reducing the routing size. However, this size reduction is limited by the process capabilities of the equipment, preventing further increases in the aperture ratio.

In response to an electric field applied between the array substrate and the color filter substrate, the liquid crystal molecules may rotate in a predetermined direction between the array substrate and the color filter substrate, thereby allowing or blocking light transmission.

[0084] In an exemplary embodiment, an external control device (such as a timing controller) may provide grayscale values ​​and control signals suitable for the specifications of the data driver to the data driver. The data driver may use the received grayscale values ​​and control signals to generate data voltages to be provided to the data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., and Dn. For example, the data driver may use a clock signal to sample the grayscale values ​​and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values ​​to the data signal lines D1 to Dn on a pixel row basis, where n may be a natural number. The external control device may provide a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. suitable for the specifications of the scan driver to the scan driver. The scan driver may use the clock signal, the scan start signal, etc. to generate scan signals to be provided to the scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., and Sm. For example, the scan driver may sequentially provide scan signals having on-level pulses to the scan signal lines S1 to Sm, where m may be a natural number. For example, the scan driver may be configured as a shift register and may generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting the scan start signal provided in the form of an on-level pulse to the next stage circuit under the control of the clock signal.

[0123] In an exemplary embodiment, in a cross section perpendicular to the display substrate, the shape of the first channel 901 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. That is, the orthographic projection area of ​​the surface of the first channel 901 away from the first substrate on the first substrate includes the orthographic projection area of ​​the surface of the first channel 901 close to the first substrate on the first substrate, and the sidewalls of the first channel 901 converge in a direction closer to the first substrate.

[0128] In an exemplary embodiment, the exemplary display substrate of the present disclosure further includes an optical auxiliary structure 82, which fills at least a portion of the connection via 90. The optical auxiliary structure 82 is configured to focus light incident on the optical auxiliary structure 82 in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate.

[0129] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical auxiliary structure 82 fills a portion of the first channel 901 , and the orthographic projection of the optical auxiliary structure 82 on the first substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the connecting via 90 on the first substrate.

[0134] The exemplary display substrate of the present disclosure gathers the light incident on the organic medium layer 81 and the optical auxiliary structure 82 in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate through the optical auxiliary structure 82, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display device and playing a focusing role. For example, part of the light emitted toward the non-light-emitting area of ​​the display device is emitted toward the light-emitting area of ​​the display device, wherein the non-light-emitting area of ​​the display device may include the area where the spacer layer 80 and the light-shielding layer 57 are located in the array substrate, and the area where the black matrix is ​​located in the color film substrate.

[0135] Figure 4d is a schematic cross-sectional view of a first channel of a display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 4c and 4d, the optical auxiliary structure 82 includes a first surface 821 proximal to the first substrate, with the first surface 821 shaped as a convex arc along the direction approaching the first substrate. The organic dielectric layer 81 includes a second surface 811 distal to the first substrate, with the second surface 811 shaped as a concave arc along the direction approaching the first substrate. The convex arc of the first surface 821 directly contacts the concave arc of the second surface 811, forming a refractive interface 83 on the first surface 821. At least a portion of the refractive interface 83 is located within the first channel 901 and overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first channel 901 on the first substrate. For example, the orthographic projection of the refractive interface 83 on the first substrate lies within the orthographic projection of the first channel 901 on the first substrate. The refractive interface 83 is configured to focus light incident on the optical auxiliary structure 82 in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate.

[0136] The exemplary display substrate of the present disclosure gathers the light incident on the optical auxiliary structure 82 from the organic medium layer 81 in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate through the refractive interface 83 of the optical auxiliary structure 82, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display device and playing a focusing role. For example, part of the light emitted toward the non-light-emitting area of ​​the display device is emitted toward the light-emitting area of ​​the display device.

[0137] In an exemplary embodiment, in a cross section perpendicular to the display substrate, the outer contour of the optical auxiliary structure 82 is arched, and the arched surface of the optical auxiliary structure 82 faces the side close to the first substrate, which is the first surface 821 of the optical auxiliary structure 82 .

[0138] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical auxiliary structure 82 includes a third surface 823 on a side away from the first substrate. The third surface 823 may be a flat surface and directly contacts the first electrode 55. The organic dielectric layer 81 includes a fourth surface 814 on a side close to the first substrate. The fourth surface 814 may be a flat surface and directly contacts the connection electrode 54.

[0139] Figure 4e is a schematic cross-sectional view of a first channel of a display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 4e, the ratio of the minimum height H1 of the organic dielectric layer 81 in the first channel 901 in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate to the arch height H2 of the first surface 821 of the optical auxiliary structure 82 can be greater than or equal to 0.8 and less than or equal to 1.2. For example, the ratio of the maximum height H1 to the arch height H2 can be greater than or equal to 0.9 and less than or equal to 1. The arch height H2 of the optical auxiliary structure 82 can be the maximum height of the optical auxiliary structure 82 in the first channel 901 in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate.

[0140] Figures 5a to 5c are schematic diagrams showing the working principle of an optical auxiliary structure of a display substrate in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The working principle of the optical auxiliary structure in the exemplary display substrate of the present disclosure to focus light in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate is as follows:

[0141] As shown in Figure 5a, the interface 83' in Figure 5a can be a convex or concave structure relative to the first substrate. This figure uses a convex structure as an example. The refractive index of the optically dense material 81' is greater than the refractive index of the optically sparse material 82'. For example, the refractive index of the optically dense material 81' can be 1.7, and the refractive index of the optically sparse material 82' can be 1.19. When the first light ray Li1 is emitted from the optically dense material 81' to the optically sparse material 82', the first light ray Li1 is refracted at the interface 83' between the optically dense material 81' and the optically sparse material 82' to form the second light ray Li2. Among them, the incident angle of the first light ray Li1 at the interface 83' is θ, and the refraction angle of the second light ray Li2 at the interface 83' is γ. The incident angle θ and the refraction angle γ satisfy the formula: n1*sinθ=n2*sinγ. From the above formula, it can be seen that the refractive index n1 of the optically dense material 81' is greater than the refractive index n2 of the optically sparse material 82', the refraction angle γ is greater than the incident angle θ, and the second light Li2 formed by the first light Li1 refracted at the interface 83' converges in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate.

[0142] As shown in Figure 5b, the second substrate 200 is positioned opposite the display substrate. The second substrate 200 includes a filter pattern 220 and a black matrix 210. The black matrix 210 is located on opposite sides of the filter pattern 220 parallel to the first substrate. The black matrix 210 is a non-light-transmitting area, while the filter pattern 220 is a light-emitting area. In a cross-section perpendicular to the display substrate, the outer contour of the optically dense material 81' is arched, and the interface 83' is arc-shaped. The first light ray Li1 is refracted at the interface 83', forming the second light ray Li2. The incident angle of the first light ray Li1 at the interface 83' is θ, the refraction angle of the second light ray Li2 at the interface 83' is γ, the arc radius of the interface 83' is R, the arch height of the interface 83' is H, half the length of the surface of the optically dense material 81' close to the first substrate in a direction parallel to the first substrate is D, the deflection distance of the second light ray Li2 is d, and the distance from the surface of the optically dense material 81' away from the second substrate 200 to the second substrate 200 in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate is h. The above parameters of the substrate in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure satisfy the following formula:

[0143] Formula 1: R 2 =D 2 +(RH) 2 ;

[0144] Formula 2: Tanθ = (RH) / D;

[0145] Formula 3: n1*sinθ=n2*sinγ;

[0146] Formula 4: Tan(90-θ+γ)=h / d.

[0147] According to formula 1, the arc radius R of the interface 83' can be calculated; according to formula 2, the incident angle θ of the first light ray Li1 at the interface 83' can be calculated; according to formula 3, the refraction angle γ of the second light ray Li2 at the interface 83' can be calculated; according to formula 4, the deflection distance d of the second light ray Li2 can be calculated.

[0148] As can be seen from the above formula, the first light beam Li1 is deflected at the interface 83', causing the second light beam Li2 emitted toward the black matrix 210 to be emitted toward the filter pattern 220, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display device and achieving a light-concentrating effect. Furthermore, increasing the deflection distance d of the second light beam Li2 can cause more of the second light beam Li2 emitted toward the black matrix 210 to be emitted toward the filter pattern 220, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display device.

[0149] For display devices with different pixel densities (PPI), different deflection distances d need to be designed. For example, when the pixel density (PPI) of the display device is very high, such as 1500PPI, or 2000PPI or higher PPI, the length D can be 3um, the arch height H can be 1um, and the radius R can be 5um according to Formula 1. According to Formula 2, the incident angle θ=53.1° can be obtained, and according to Formula 3, the refraction angle γ can be 33.8°. Taking the distance h greater than or equal to 1 micron and less than or equal to 2 microns as an example, according to Formula 4, it can be concluded that the deflection distance d is greater than or equal to 0.35 microns and less than or equal to 0.70 microns. According to the light efficiency improvement formula: Light efficiency improvement efficiency = (3 / (3-d)-1)*100%, it can be concluded that compared with products with the same pixel density, the light efficiency of the present disclosure can be significantly improved, and the efficiency improvement can be greater than or equal to 13.2% and less than or equal to 30.4%. In the display device, by increasing the distance h, the deflection distance d can be increased, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display device.

[0150] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 5c, the first surface 821 of the optical auxiliary structure 82 has an arched outer profile in a cross-section perpendicular to the display substrate. When a first light ray Li1 enters the optical auxiliary structure 82 from the organic dielectric layer 81, it is refracted at the refractive interface 83 to form a second light ray Li2. The incident angle θ of the first light ray Li1 at the refractive interface 83 is the same as the refractive angle γ of the second light ray Li2 at the refractive interface 83. The incident angle θ and the refractive angle γ satisfy the formula: n1*sinθ=n2*sinγ. As can be seen from the above formula, the refractive index n1 of the organic dielectric layer 81 is greater than the refractive index n2 of the optical auxiliary structure 82, and the refractive angle γ is greater than the incident angle θ. Therefore, the second light ray Li2 formed by the refraction of the first light ray Li1 at the refractive interface 83 converges perpendicular to the first substrate, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display device.

[0151] The following is an illustrative explanation through the preparation process of the display substrate. The "patterning process" mentioned in the present disclosure includes processes such as coating photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, and stripping photoresist for metal materials, inorganic materials or transparent conductive materials, and includes processes such as coating organic materials, mask exposure and development for organic materials. Deposition can be carried out by any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition, coating can be carried out by any one or more of spraying, spin coating and inkjet printing, and etching can be carried out by any one or more of dry etching and wet etching, which are not limited in the present disclosure. "Thin film" refers to a layer of thin film made by deposition, coating or other processes of a certain material on a first substrate. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire production process, the "thin film" can also be called a "layer". If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire production process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern". As used in this disclosure, "A and B are disposed in the same layer" means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer refers to the dimension of the film layer in a direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A contains the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary of the orthographic projection of A, or that the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

The first connecting electrode 541 covers at least the sidewalls and bottom wall of the second channel 902, as well as the surface of the sixth insulating layer 16 facing away from the first substrate. The first connecting electrode 541 is connected to the first active layer 21 via the second channel 902.
