Definitions
- the present invention relates to an organic EL display panel and a manufacturing method thereof.
- An organic EL display panel is a display panel having a light emitting element utilizing electroluminescence of an organic compound. That is, the organic EL display panel has an EL device including a cathode and an anode, and an organic compound that emits electroluminescence and is disposed between the two electrodes. Electroluminescent organic compounds can be broadly classified into combinations of low molecular organic compounds (host material and dopant material) and high molecular organic compounds.
- Examples of the polymer organic compound that emits light include polyparaphenylene vinylene called PPV and derivatives thereof.
- An organic EL display panel using an electroluminescent polymer organic compound can be driven at a relatively low voltage and has low power consumption.
- the high molecular organic compound can be dissolved in an aromatic organic solvent such as xylene or toluene to form an ink.
- an aromatic organic solvent such as xylene or toluene
- An organic EL device is a laminated device composed of a plurality of layers such as an electrode, a hole injection layer, and an organic light emitting layer.
- the film thickness of each layer is a very important factor for the light emission characteristics of the organic EL device.
- an organic light emitting layer that directly contributes to light emission is required to have a high degree of film thickness uniformity. This is because the variation in the film thickness appears as uneven brightness of the panel or uneven light emission color, leading to display quality defects. For this reason, a technique for forming an organic light emitting layer on a flat base is known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
- an organic light emitting layer is formed by a printing method such as an ink jet method
- an ink is applied in a region defined by a partition called a bank, and a solvent in the ink is dried to form an organic light emitting layer having a thickness of about 100 nm.
- the film shape of the organic light-emitting layer is determined by factors such as the application method, ink physical properties (boiling point, viscosity, etc.), bank physical properties (wetability, film thickness, taper angle, etc.), and organic light-emitting layer ink drying conditions. Is done. Therefore, when the ink drying conditions change, the film shape of the organic light emitting layer also changes.

- the bank material was an acrylic material made by Asahi Glass. Specifically, it was applied on a TFT panel by a spin coating method and prebaked at a temperature of 100 ° C. for 2 minutes. Next, ultraviolet light was irradiated through a photomask. Since the bank material used in the examples is a negative material, the exposed portion of the bank material crosslinks and cures. The wavelength of the irradiated ultraviolet light is broad with a main peak at 365 nm. The exposure illuminance was 20 mW / cm 2 and the irradiation time was 10 seconds.
- the exposed bank material was developed using a 0.2% aqueous TMAH solution (NMD-3 manufactured by Tokyo Ohka Kogyo Co., Ltd.), and the bank material was patterned.
- the developer was washed with pure water, and the TFT panel was post-baked for 60 minutes in a 220 ° C. clean oven.

- the applied ink was dried by drying under reduced pressure. Specifically, the TFT panel was put into a vacuum chamber, and the applied ink was dried by evacuating the air pressure in the chamber to 10 Pa with a vacuum pump. The exhaust time was 30 seconds, and the drying temperature was 25 ° C. Thereafter, the TFT panel was further baked on a hot plate at 130 ° C. for 10 minutes.

- the vertical axis represents the film thickness (nm)
- the horizontal axis represents the measurement position on the substrate
- I represents a bank
- II represents a contact hole
- II ′ represents a dummy hole
- III represents an organic light emitting layer.
- Film thickness left-right difference (film thickness at the left end) ⁇ (film thickness at the right end) (The left end means the point of the organic light emitting layer on the center side of the 7.5 ⁇ m element from the top of the left bank, and the right end means the point of the organic light emitting layer on the center side of the 7.5 ⁇ m element from the top of the right bank. .)

- an organic EL display panel was produced in the same manner as in the example except that no dummy hole was formed in the dummy region of the TFT panel.
- the film shape of the organic light emitting layer of the boundary light emitting element of the organic EL display panel of the comparative example was measured with an atomic force microscope (AS-7B manufactured by Takano Co., Ltd.), and the cross-sectional profile of the organic light emitting layer of the boundary light emitting element was obtained.
- a cross-sectional profile of the organic light emitting layer of the boundary light emitting device is shown in FIG. 12A.
- the vertical axis represents the film thickness (nm) and the horizontal axis represents the measurement position (nm) on the substrate.
- the profile shown in FIG. 12A is a profile of a cross section taken along line BB ′ in FIG. 12B.

- the height of the bank is different at both ends of the element.
- the bank on the side where the contact hole is formed is approximately 200 nm lower than the bank on the side where the contact hole is not formed. This result suggests that the holes of the boundary non-light emitting element affect the shape of the bank of the boundary light emitting element.
- the height of the bank at the edge of the contact hole of the boundary light emitting element was lower than the height of the boundary bank.
- the bank material flowed into the contact hole when applying the bank material. It is thought to be caused by.
- Table 1 shows the difference in film thickness between the organic light-emitting layers of the boundary light-emitting elements of Examples and Comparative Examples. The larger the value of the difference in film thickness, the greater the inclination of the film and the worse the film shape.
- the film thickness left-right difference is 0.4 nm, whereas in the comparative example, the film thickness left-right difference is as large as 2.8 nm. This result suggests that the film shape of the organic light emitting layer of the boundary light emitting element is greatly improved in the example as compared with the comparative example.
- the difference between the left and right film thicknesses was as large as 2.8 nm, which is considered to be due to the difference in the bank height at both ends of the element.
- the film shape of the organic light emitting layer is affected by the physical properties of the bank, it is considered that if the height of the bank is different at both ends of the element, the film shape of the organic light emitting layer is also different at both ends.
- the shape of the boundary bank becomes equal to the shape of other effective light emitting area banks, and the shape of the organic light emitting layer of the boundary light emitting element is also uniform. It is suggested that
- a dummy hole is also formed in a dummy pixel adjacent to an effective light emitting pixel on the other end side of the effective light emitting pixel, so that the light emission having a uniform film shape can be obtained even in the outermost periphery of the effective light emitting region.
- a layer can be formed.

本発明の有機ELディスプレイパネルは、各有機EL素子を独立して薄膜トランジスタで駆動するアクティブマトリクス型の有機ELディスプレイパネルである。また、本発明の有機ELディスプレイパネルは、各有機EL素子の有機機能層が塗布法で形成される湿式型の有機ELディスプレイパネルである。本発明の有機ELディスプレイパネルは、トップエミッション型であってもボトムエミッション型であってもよい。

5)バンクによって規定された領域内に有機機能層の材料液を塗布し、有機機能層を形成する第5ステップと、を有する。以下、それぞれのステップについて説明する。
実施の形態1では、トップエミッション型の有機ELディスプレイパネルについて説明する。
実施の形態1では、非発光素子がTFTを有さない形態について説明した。実施の形態2では、非発光素子がTFTを有する形態について説明する。
実施の形態2では、非発光素子が画素電極(反射陽極)および正孔注入層を有さない形態について説明した。実施の形態3では、非発光素子が画素電極および正孔注入層を有する形態について説明する。
実施の形態4では、非発光素子が対向電極を有さない形態について説明する。
実施の形態5では、バンクが一列に並んだ素子を規定する形態について説明する。
実施例では、実施の形態4の有機ELディスプレイパネルを作製した。まず、旭硝子株式会社製ガラス基板AN100(370mm×470mm×0.7mm)上に平坦化膜を5μmの厚さで形成し、TFTパネルを作成した。
[式1]膜厚左右差=(左端での膜厚)-(右端での膜厚)

比較例では、TFTパネルのダミー領域にはダミーホールを形成しなかった以外は、実施例と同様に有機ELディスプレイパネルを作製した。比較例の有機ELディスプレイパネルの境界発光素子の有機発光層の膜形状を原子間力顕微鏡(タカノ株式会社製 AS-7B)で測定し、境界発光素子の有機発光層の断面プロファイルを求めた。境界発光素子の有機発光層の断面プロファイルを図12Aに示す。図12Aにおいて、縦軸は膜厚(nm)を、横軸は基板上における測定位置(nm)を表す。図12Aに示されたプロファイルは、図12BのBB’線による断面のプロファイルである。
図11Aに示されるように、実施例では、バンクの高さが素子の両端で等しい。一方、図12Aに示されるように、比較例ではバンクの高さが素子の両端で異なっている。具体的には、コンタクトホールが形成されている側のバンクは、コンタクトホールが形成されてない側のバンクに比べて、200nm程度低くなっている。この結果は、境界非発光素子が有するホールが、境界発光素子が有するバンクの形状に影響を与えることを示唆する。
