Description

A display substrate and a display device Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display substrate and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] Low-cost, high-efficiency micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED) display technology is the way to realize next-generation ultra-high-definition displays and full-color flexible displays.

[0003] Color conversion schemes are widely used in the LED display field, reducing the massive transfer of red and green light and solving the problem of low red light efficiency. Moreover, due to the limitations of massive transfer, the number of transfer bonding operations and the difficulty of repair for monochrome chips are far lower than those for three-color chips.

[0004] However, due to the photoexcitation characteristics of color conversion materials, increasing the blue light absorption rate will add a large number of scattering particles, which will cause the light emitted by the blue chip to be greatly scattered after passing through the color conversion layer, resulting in a decrease in the intensity of the forward light output.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. Furthermore, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be combined with each other without conflict. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as “comprising” or “including” mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as “connected” or “linked” are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as “inner,” “outer,” “upper,” and “lower” are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described objects changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0041] It should be noted that the dimensions and shapes of the figures in the accompanying drawings do not reflect actual proportions and are intended only to illustrate the content of this disclosure. Furthermore, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout.

[0042] Among related technologies, RGB (red, green, blue) chips have the highest efficiency and lowest cost, while R LEDs have the highest manufacturing difficulty and cost. This allows for the use of B LEDs and color conversion structures to achieve full-color processing, reducing the massive red-green transfer and solving the problems of low red light efficiency and high manufacturing difficulty. However, due to the photoexcitation characteristics of the color conversion material, increasing the blue light absorption rate adds a large number of scattering particles. This causes the light emitted from the blue chip to be significantly scattered at different angles after passing through the color conversion layer, resulting in a decrease in the forward light intensity.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1, the light intensity decreases significantly at the center angle after the light passes through the color conversion layer from the blue chip. In this figure, ① represents the light emitted directly from the blue chip, and ② represents the light emitted from the blue chip after passing through the red light conversion layer. Furthermore, existing color conversion layers can be made of CdSe or InP materials. CdSe materials have high light conversion efficiency but contain heavy metals and cannot be used commercially. InP materials are pollution-free, but have lower light conversion efficiency and blue light absorption, typically requiring a film thickness greater than 10 μm to meet basic requirements. Therefore, improving light extraction efficiency has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0044] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a display substrate and a display device for achieving high-efficiency light extraction.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate, specifically, the display substrate includes:

[0046] Substrate 10;

[0047] Color filter layer 20 is located on the substrate 10;

[0048] The light-collecting part 30 is located on the side of the color filter layer 20 away from the substrate 10 and completely covers the color filter layer 20. The light-collecting part 30 includes a first light-collecting layer 31 and a second light-collecting layer 32 disposed sequentially away from the substrate 10. Compared with the plane parallel to the substrate 10, the surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 away from the substrate 10 is curved, and the refractive index of the first light-collecting layer 31 is greater than the refractive index of the second light-collecting layer 32.

[0049] In specific implementation, the display substrate provided in this embodiment includes a substrate 10, a color filter layer 20, and a light-collecting portion 30. Exemplarily, the substrate 10 can be a rigid substrate, such as a glass substrate or a silicon-based substrate. Exemplarily, the substrate 10 can also be a flexible substrate. Of course, the substrate 10 can be made of any material required for the actual application, and this is not limited here. Furthermore, the color filter layer 20 is located on the substrate 10 and is configured to filter light of the desired color. In addition, the light-collecting portion 30 is located on the side of the color filter layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10 and completely covers the color filter layer 20. The light-collecting portion 30 includes a first light-collecting layer 31 and a second light-collecting layer 32 sequentially disposed facing away from the substrate 10. Compared to a plane parallel to the substrate 10, the surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10 is curved, and correspondingly, the surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10 is not planar. Moreover, the refractive index of the first light-collecting layer 31 is greater than the refractive index of the second light-collecting layer 32. For example, the refractive index of the first light-collecting layer 31 is 1.7, and the refractive index of the second light-collecting layer 32 is 1.4. Of course, the specific values ​​of the refractive indices of the first and second light-collecting layers 31 can be set according to actual application needs and are not limited here. In this way, when light enters the first light-collecting layer 31 from the second light-collecting layer 32, the curved surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10, and the difference in refractive index between the first and second light-collecting layers 31 and 32, cause the large-angle light path to be deflected, which can improve the forward light intensity to a certain extent, thereby improving the light-collecting efficiency.

[0050] In this embodiment of the disclosure, along the direction from the second light-collecting layer 32 to the first light-collecting layer 31 and perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 10, the curved surface includes a plurality of protrusion structures 40 and a plurality of recessed structures 50, with each of the protrusion structures 40 and each of the recessed structures 50 arranged alternately.

[0051] In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 2, the direction indicated by arrow X is the direction from the second light-collecting layer 32 to the first light-collecting layer 31, and perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 10. Along this direction, the curved surface includes a plurality of protrusions 40 and a plurality of recesses 50. Exemplarily, the number of protrusions 40 can be two, or three or more. The number of recesses 50 can also be two, or three or more. Of course, the specific number of protrusions 40 and recesses 50 can be set according to actual application needs and is not limited here. Moreover, the protrusions 40 and recesses 50 are arranged alternately, thus providing various possibilities for adjusting the light angle.

[0052] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the color filter layer 20 includes a light-shielding portion 21 and a plurality of light-filtering portions 22 surrounded by the light-shielding portion 21. The recessed structure 50 is disposed corresponding to the light-filtering portions 22, and the raised structure 40 is disposed corresponding to the light-shielding portion 21.

[0053] In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG2, the color filter layer 20 includes a light-shielding portion 21 and a plurality of light-filtering portions 22 surrounded by the light-shielding portion 21. Exemplarily, the plurality of light-filtering portions 22 are arranged in an array. Exemplarily, the plurality of light-filtering portions 22 can be two, or three or more; of course, the number of the plurality of light-filtering portions 22 can be set according to actual application needs, and is not limited here. Furthermore, the color of each light-filtering portion 22 can be the same as the desired color of the light-emitting sub-pixel. In one exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting pixel includes a red light-emitting sub-pixel, a green light-emitting sub-pixel, and a blue light-emitting sub-pixel. The light-filtering portion 22 corresponding to the red light-emitting sub-pixel can be a red light-filtering portion to obtain the desired red light; the light-filtering portion 22 corresponding to the green light-emitting sub-pixel can be a green light-filtering portion to obtain the desired green light; and the light-filtering portion 22 corresponding to the blue light-emitting sub-pixel can be a blue light-filtering portion to obtain the desired blue light. This improves the contrast of the display substrate.

[0054] Referring again to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG2, the recessed structure 50 is provided corresponding to the light filter portion 22, and the raised structure 40 is provided corresponding to the light shielding portion 21. In this way, even if some of the light entering the first light-collecting layer 31 through the second light-collecting layer 32 is dispersed towards the light shielding portion 21, it can be reflected by the raised structure 40 to directly above the light filter portion 22, thereby improving the light-collecting efficiency of the display substrate.

[0055] It should be noted that in the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 2, arrows other than arrow X represent the transmission paths of the relevant light rays. Of course, there are many other types of light rays, which are not all shown here.

[0056] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the side surface of the second light-collecting layer 32 facing away from the substrate 10 is parallel to the plane of the substrate 10, and the thickness of the second light-collecting layer 32 at the corresponding position of the recessed structure 50 is greater than the thickness at the corresponding position of the protruding structure 40.

[0057] In the specific implementation process, the surface of the second light-collecting layer 32 facing away from the substrate 10 is parallel to the plane of the substrate 10. In the actual preparation process, a coating process can be used to form the first light-collecting layer 31 on the side of the color filter layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10. Since the surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10 is curved, a highly flat transparent organic material can be used to coat and form the second light-collecting layer 32. For example, the transparent organic material can be a polysiloxane, a polysiloxane-based material, or a silicon-on-glass siloxane organic (SOG) material. Due to the excellent flatness of these materials, the subsequent surface tension ensures good flatness of the surface of the second light-collecting layer 32 facing away from the substrate 10. The step difference of the second light-collecting layer 32 can be less than 0.2 μm. Correspondingly, the surface of the second light-collecting layer 32 facing away from the substrate 10 is approximately parallel to the plane of the substrate 10. Furthermore, since the surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10 is curved, the thickness of the second light-collecting layer 32 at the corresponding position of the recessed structure 50 is greater than the thickness at the corresponding position of the protruding structure 40.

[0058] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance between the light-shielding part 21 and the substrate 10 on the side facing away from the substrate 10 is greater than the distance between the light-filtering part 22 and the substrate 10 on the side facing away from the substrate 10.

[0059] Referring again to the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 2, d1 represents the distance between the surface of the light-shielding part 21 facing away from the substrate 10 and the substrate 10, and d2 represents the distance between the surface of the light-filtering part 22 facing away from the substrate 10 and the substrate 10, wherein d1 > d2. In this way, a certain substrate step can be created by the light-shielding part 21. During the actual fabrication of the first light-collecting layer 31, the material for fabricating the first light-collecting layer 31 can flow with the substrate step, thereby forming the required protrusion structure 40 and recessed structure 50 on the surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10, thus obtaining a prism-like morphology, thereby providing a guarantee for the adjustment of the light angle. Of course, the specific values ​​of d1 and d2 can be set according to the actual application, and are not limited here.

[0060] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the light-shielding part 21 can be configured in several ways, but is not limited to these ways.

[0061] In one exemplary embodiment, the light-shielding portion 21 is a black matrix 60. That is, the light-shielding portion 21 can be fabricated using a black matrix 60. The exemplary embodiment shown in FIG2 can still be used to set the light-shielding portion 21. In the actual fabrication process, the light-filtering portion 22 can be fabricated first, and then the light-shielding portion 21 can be fabricated. This allows the step difference created by the light-shielding portion 21 to provide a guarantee for the subsequent fabrication of the recessed structure 50 and the raised structure 40 on the side surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10.

[0062] In one exemplary embodiment, the light-shielding part 21 is a composite structure made of two different colored pigments stacked together.

[0063] Referring to the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 3, some light-shielding portions 21 are formed by sequentially stacking green resin material 221 and red resin material 222, while others are formed by sequentially stacking blue resin material 223 and green resin material 221. In this way, according to color subtraction, the composite structure formed by stacking two different colored resin materials can effectively absorb ambient light, thereby reducing the reflectivity of ambient light. It should be noted that in the actual fabrication process, the light-shielding portions 21 can be fabricated by stacking materials corresponding to the filter portion 22. For example, the pattern of the desired filter portion 22 can be formed simultaneously by stacking the corresponding materials. Of course, the specific stacking order of the different colored materials can be set according to actual needs during the fabrication process and is not limited here.

[0064] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance between the side surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10 and the side surface of the light-shielding portion 21 facing away from the substrate 10 is greater than 1.0 μm.

[0065] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the thickness of the second light-collecting layer 32 is greater than 1.0 μm and less than 2.0 μm.

[0066] In specific implementation, the first light-collecting layer 31 and the second light-collecting layer 32 can be configured such that the distance between the surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10 and the surface of the light-shielding portion 21 facing away from the substrate 10 is greater than 1.0 μm; the thickness of the second light-collecting layer 32 is greater than 1.0 μm and less than 2.0 μm. This ensures the refraction effect of the light path. Furthermore, after fabricating the second light-collecting layer 32 of the required thickness, the substrate step difference of the corresponding display substrate can be ensured to be less than 0.2 μm, guaranteeing the flatness of the second light-collecting layer 32 and providing a guarantee for the subsequent film layer fabrication.

[0067] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the display substrate further includes a plurality of color conversion units 70 located on the side of the second light-collecting layer 32 away from the substrate 10, and each of the color conversion units 70 is disposed corresponding to the filter portion 22.

[0068] Referring again to the exemplary embodiments shown in Figures 2 and 3, the display substrate further includes a plurality of color conversion units 70 located on the side of the second light-collecting layer 32 facing away from the substrate 10. Exemplarily, the plurality of color conversion units 70 can be two, or three or more. Of course, the specific number of the plurality of color conversion units 70 can be set according to actual application needs and is not limited here. Furthermore, each color conversion unit 70 is correspondingly arranged with a filter unit 22. In this way, the color conversion unit 70 can convert the light emitted through the corresponding filter unit 22 into light of the desired color, thereby improving the color gamut and viewing angle of the display substrate, making the colors purer and more vibrant, and enhancing the color performance. Exemplarily, the color conversion unit 70 can convert absorbed blue light into red light, or convert absorbed blue light into green light. This ensures full-color display of the display substrate.

[0069] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the display substrate further includes a blocking unit 80 surrounding the plurality of color conversion units 70. The thickness of the blocking unit 80 is greater than the thickness of the color conversion units 70, and the blocking unit 80 is disposed corresponding to the light-shielding portion 21.

[0070] Referring again to the exemplary embodiments shown in Figures 2 and 3, the display substrate further includes blocking units 80 surrounding the plurality of color conversion units 70. Exemplarily, the blocking units 80 can be a black matrix. Furthermore, the thickness of the blocking units 80 is greater than the thickness of the color conversion units 70, and the blocking units 80 are correspondingly disposed with the light-shielding portions 21. In this way, the blocking units 80 can, to a certain extent, prevent crosstalk between light rays emitted from the color conversion units 70. In actual fabrication, setting the thickness of the blocking units 80 to be greater than the thickness of the color conversion units 70, and setting the thickness increment to be less than 1 μm, can, to a certain extent, avoid bonding defects during subsequent bonding of the display substrate to the driving backplane, thereby improving the fabrication yield of the display device.

[0071] In this embodiment, the display substrate further includes a first encapsulation layer 90 located on the side of the second light-collecting layer 32 facing away from the substrate 10. This effectively prevents external moisture from corroding the light-collecting portion 30 and the color conversion unit 70, improving the performance of the display substrate. Exemplarily, the first encapsulation layer 90 can be prepared using atomic layer deposition (ALD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and is not limited thereto. In one exemplary embodiment, the material of the first encapsulation layer 90 can be SiNx, and the corresponding refractive index can be greater than 1.7. In specific implementations, the material and refractive index of the first encapsulation layer 90 can be selected according to actual application needs, and are not limited thereto.

[0072] Furthermore, the display substrate also includes a second encapsulation layer 91 located on the side of the blocking unit 80 facing away from the substrate 10. This effectively prevents external moisture from corroding the color conversion unit 70, improving the performance of the display substrate. Exemplarily, the first encapsulation layer 90 can be fabricated using an ALD process, or the second encapsulation layer 91 can be fabricated using a CVD process; no limitation is made here. In one exemplary embodiment, the material of the second encapsulation layer 91 can be SiNx, and the corresponding refractive index can be greater than 1.7. In specific implementations, the material and refractive index of the second encapsulation layer 91 can be selected according to actual application needs; no limitation is made here.

[0073] The following section, in conjunction with the process flow diagram shown in Figure 4, provides a detailed explanation of the fabrication process of the display substrate shown in Figure 2.

[0074] First, a pattern of the filter portion 22 is formed on the substrate 10 using a photolithography process. For example, patterns of a red filter portion, a green filter portion, and a blue filter portion are sequentially formed on the substrate 10. Then, a pattern of a light-shielding portion 21 is formed on the side of the filter portion 22 facing away from the substrate 10 using a photolithography process. For example, the light-shielding portion 21 can be a BM (bulb diaphragm). It should be noted that by creating the light-shielding portion 21 subsequently, when the distance between the surface of the light-shielding portion 21 facing away from the substrate 10 and the substrate 10 is greater than the distance between the surface of the filter portion 22 facing away from the substrate 10 and the substrate 10, it can be ensured that the surface of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10 has the required specific morphological structure of the protrusion structure 40 and the recess structure 50.

[0075] Then, a first light-collecting layer 31 is coated on the side of the light-shielding portion 21 facing away from the substrate 10. For example, the refractive index of the first light-collecting layer 31 is 1.7. In actual fabrication, a conventional transparent organic material can be used to prepare the first light-collecting layer 31. For example, an acrylic resin material can be used. In this case, when such a material is cured at high temperature, it is prone to melting and flow. Accordingly, the relevant film material can flow with the substrate step difference, thereby forming the desired protruding structure 40 and recessed structure 50, becoming a lens-like morphology.

[0076] Then, a second light-collecting layer 32 is coated on the side of the first light-collecting layer 31 facing away from the substrate 10. For example, the refractive index of the second light-collecting layer 32 is 1.4. In actual fabrication, a highly flattenable transparent organic material, such as SOG-type materials, can be used. In this way, due to the excellent flatness of the material, the surface tension during post-baking can ensure that the flatness of the corresponding second light-collecting layer 32 is less than 0.2 μm, thereby improving the fabrication efficiency of subsequent film layers.

[0077] Then, using an ALD or CVD process, a first encapsulation layer 90 is fabricated on the side of the second light-collecting layer 32 facing away from the substrate 10. For example, the material of the first encapsulation layer 90 is SiNx, with a refractive index greater than 1.7. Then, using a photolithography process, a pattern of color conversion units 70 is fabricated on the side of the first encapsulation layer 90 facing away from the substrate 10. For example, patterns of a scattering particle layer, a red light color conversion unit, and a green light color conversion unit are fabricated sequentially. Then, a blocking unit 80 is fabricated. For example, the thickness of the blocking unit 80 is greater than the thickness of the color conversion unit 70, and the thickness difference is less than 1 μm. Then, a second encapsulation layer 91 is fabricated.
