具体实施方式
以下结合附图对本公开的具体实施方式进行详细说明。应当理解的是,此处所描述的具体实施方式仅用于说明和解释本公开,并不用于限制本公开。
目前,显示装置在进行显示时,其上不同像素单元可能会发光不均匀,影响显示效果。因此,如何提高各个像素单元发光的均匀性成为本领域亟待解决的技术问题。
本公开的发明人反复研究发现,显示装置在显示时出现发光不均匀的一个原因如下。通过电源线向每个像素单元内的像素电路提供高电平电压信号并且电源线存在内阻,因此,在传递高电平电压信号的过程中,电源线的电阻压降(IR Drop)会导致各个像素单元接收到的高电平电压信号不同,从而使得各个像素单元发光不均匀,降低了显示效果。
有鉴于此,本公开提供了一种显示基板,所述显示基板包括衬底以及在所述衬底上设置的第一图形层、第二图形层和第三图形层。如图1所示为沿图5K中的线a-a’截取的剖视图,第三图形层13设置在衬底100上,第一图形层11设置在第三图形层13上,第二图形层12设置在第一图形层上11。所述第一图形层11包括至少一条辅助金属线210,所述第二图形层12包括至少一条电源线110,至少一条辅助金属线210通过过孔与至少一条电源线110电连接,第三图形层13包括呈阵列排布的多行多列第二电极320。
至少一条辅助金属线210的一条辅助金属线与多行多列第二电极中的一行第二电极相对设置并与该行第二电极中的至少一个第二电极部分地重叠以形成至少一个存储电容Cst,并且该条辅助金属线210通过过孔与至少一条电源线110电连接。
基于呈阵列排布的多行多列第二电极320可将显示基板划分为呈阵列排布的多个像素单元。每列像素单元可对应一条电源线,因此,至少一条电源线的条数可以与像素单元的列数相同。同理,至少一条辅助金属线的条数可以与像素单元的行数相同。
至少一条电源线110与至少一条辅助金属线210彼此电连接,等同于增加了电源线的横截面积,使得两者的组合结构的电阻小于电源线110本身的电阻。
在包括所述显示基板的显示装置进行显示时,将电源线110与直流电源电连接,并经由电源线110和辅助金属线210的组合结构向显示基板提供高电平电压。由于上述组合结构的电阻小于电源线110的电阻,因此,与仅通过电源线传递高电平电压的相关技术相比,在包括本公开所提供的显示基板的显示装置进行显示时,信号传递过程 中的电阻压降(IR Drop)更小,从而可以使得不同的像素单元所接收到的高电平信号之间的差别缩小,进而提高了显示的均匀性。
为了进一步地提高信号传递过程中的均匀性,在一些实施例中,至少一条电源线110的延伸方向与至少一条辅助金属线210的延伸方向垂直。在一个具体实施例中,多条电源线110与多条辅助金属线210在所述显示基板上的正投影形成网格。
在本公开中,当所述显示基板为有机发光二极管显示基板时,电源线110通常通过高电平信号端ELVDD而与发光控制晶体管的源极电连接。而对于像素电路而言,不同的晶体管的源极、漏极以及数据线通常设置在同一层,因此,为了简化制造工艺、并降低显示基板的厚度,在一些实施例中,可以将电源线110与数据线同层设置。即,所述第二图形层12还包括多条数据线。为了避免电源线110与数据线之间产生短路,在一些实施例中,至少一条电源线110的延伸方向与多行多列第二电极的列方向平行,至少一条辅助金属线210的延伸方向与多行多列第二电极的行方向平行,至少一条电源线110的延伸方向与至少一条辅助金属线210的延伸方向垂直。
如图1所示,在一些实施例中,第一图形层11还包括层间绝缘层400,其设置在至少一条辅助金属线210之上,至少一条辅助金属线210中的每一条辅助金属线通过设置在层间绝缘层400中的过孔分别与至少一条电源线110电连接。
如图1所示,在一些实施例中,第二图形层12中的至少一条电源线110和多条数据线设置在层间绝缘层400上。
如图1所示,在一些实施例中,第三图形层13还包括第二栅绝缘层420,其设置在多行多列第二电极320以及多条栅线上,其上设置有至少一条辅助金属线210。
如图1所示,在一些实施例中,该显示基板还包括有源层500和第一栅绝缘层410。有源层500设置在衬底100上。第一栅绝缘层410设置在有源层500和裸露的衬底100上。第一栅绝缘层410上设置有多行多列第二电极320以及多条栅线GATE。
对于包括有机发光二极管的显示基板而言,该显示基板包括多 个像素单元,每个像素单元都包括有机发光二极管和像素电路,所述像素电路用于驱动所述有机发光二极管发光。相应地,如图2所示,所述像素电路包括驱动晶体管T1和存储电容Cst。驱动晶体管T1用于产生驱动电流,而存储电容Cst则是为了存储数据电压和驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压。需要解释的是,存储驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的目的是为了在驱动有机发光二极管发光时,对驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压进行补偿,防止驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压对有机发光二极管的发光造成影响。
为了存储驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压,存储电容Cst的第一电极通过辅助金属线210与电源线110电连接,存储电容Cst的第二电极与驱动晶体管T1的栅极电连接。为了降低所述显示基板的厚度,在一些实施例中,可以将辅助金属线210的一部分作为存储电容Cst的第一电极(在图5E中所示的实施方式中,辅助金属线210可以在与存储电容Cst的第二电极的相对位置处突出,并将该突出作为存储电容Cst的第一电极220)。即,辅助金属线210与第二电极重叠部分的部分大于辅助金属线210的其余部分的宽度。
在像素电路中,存储电容Cst用于存储数据电压以及驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压,因此,通常,存储电容Cst的第二电极320与驱动晶体管T1的栅极电连接。为了简化制造工艺,在一些实施例中,可以将存储电容Cst的第二电极320作为驱动晶体管T1的栅极,如图5E所示。为了便于制造,所述显示基板中各个晶体管的栅极以及多条栅线均位于第三图形层13中。
图2中所示的是像素电路的示意图,该像素电路中的各晶体管在显示基板上的位置关系如图5G所示。具体地,该像素电路除了包括上述的驱动晶体管T1和存储电容Cst之外,还包括数据写入晶体管T2、第一发光控制晶体管T5、第二发光控制晶体管T6、复位晶体管T4和补偿子电路。如上所述,存储电容Cst的第二电极320可作为该存储电容所在的像素单元中的驱动晶体管T1的栅极,则无需设置驱动晶体管T1的栅极。
如图2中所示,驱动晶体管T1的源极与第一发光控制晶体管 T5的漏极电连接,驱动晶体管T1的栅极与存储电容Cst的第二电极320电连接,驱动晶体管T1的漏极与第二发光控制晶体管T6的源极电连接。
第一发光控制晶体管T5的源极通过高电平信号端ELVDD与至少一条电源线中110的一条电源线电连接,第一发光控制晶体管T5的栅极通过端口Eln与发光控制信号线EMn电连接。
第二发光控制晶体管T6的漏极与有机发光二极管OLED的阳极电连接,第二发光控制晶体管T6的栅极通过端口Eln与所述发光控制信号线EMn电连接。
复位晶体管T4的源极通过复位信号端ELVINT而与复位信号线VINT电连接,复位晶体管T4的漏极与驱动晶体管T1的栅极电连接,复位晶体管T4的栅极通过复位信号控制端SLn-1而与复位控制信号线RESET电连接。复位晶体管T4的栅极接收到有效的复位控制信号时,该复位晶体管的源极和该复位晶体管的漏极导通,从而将驱动晶体管T1的栅极与复位信号线VINT导通,并对驱动晶体管T1的栅极和存储电容Cst进行复位。
数据写入晶体管T2的源极通过数据信号写入端DLm而与多条数据线中的一条数据线DATA电连接,数据写入晶体管T2的漏极与驱动晶体管T1的源极电连接,数据写入晶体管T2的栅极通过数据写入控制信号端SLn而与多条栅线中的一条栅线GATE电连接。数据写入晶体管T2设置为该数据写入晶体管T2的源极与该数据写入晶体管T2的漏极在该数据写入晶体管T2的栅极接收到有效的控制信号时导通,从而将通过数据信号写入端写入的数据电压写入存储电容Cst。
所述补偿子电路的第一端与驱动晶体管T1的栅极电连接,补偿子电路的第二端与驱动晶体管T1的漏极电连接,补偿子电路的控制端与数据写入晶体管T2的栅极电连接。补偿子电路可以在该补偿子电路的控制端接收到有效的控制信号时将驱动晶体管T1的栅极和漏极电连接,以便于存储电容Cst存储驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压。
在本公开中,对所述补偿子电路的具体结构不做特殊限定,如 图2中所示,所述补偿子电路可包括第一补偿晶体管T3和第二补偿晶体管T7。第一补偿晶体管T3的源极与第二补偿晶体管T7的漏极电连接,第一补偿晶体管T3的漏极作为补偿子电路的第二端而与第二发光控制晶体管T6的源极电连接。第二补偿晶体管T7的源极作为补偿子电路的第一端与驱动晶体管T1的栅极电连接。第一补偿晶体管T3的栅极与第二补偿晶体管T7的栅极电连接,并形成为补偿子电路的控制端。
在图2中所示的实施方式中,第一补偿晶体管T3的栅极以及第二补偿晶体管T7的栅极均与数据写入晶体管T2的栅极电连接,也就说,可以利用同一条栅线控制数据写入晶体管T2、第一补偿晶体管T3以及第二补偿晶体管T7。
作为一种实施方式,驱动晶体管T1的栅极、数据写入晶体管T2的栅极、第一发光控制晶体管T5的栅极、第二发光控制晶体管T6的栅极、复位晶体管T4的栅极、第一补偿晶体管T3的栅极、第二补偿晶体管T7的栅极同层(第三图形层13)设置。
如图3所示为沿图5K中的线b-b’截取的剖视图,在图3中所示的剖视图中,剖切了第一发光控制晶体管T5的一部分、存储电容Cst的一部分和第二发光控制晶体管T6的一部分。如图4所示为沿图5K中的线c-c’截取的剖视图,在图4中所示的剖视图中,剖切了复位晶体管T4的一部分、第一补偿晶体管T3和第二补偿晶体管T7的一部分和驱动晶体管T1的一部分。
为了便于制造,在所述像素电路中,不同晶体管的有源层均形成在同一层中。所述像素电路的有源层形成在衬底上,为了防止衬底表面的杂质向有源层500扩散,在一些实施例中,还可以在衬底和有源层500之间设置缓冲层600。
在本公开中,对衬底的具体材料不做特殊的限制,例如,衬底可以为玻璃衬底,也可以为由聚氨酯材料制成的柔性衬底。可以利用硅的氧化物(SiOx)或者硅的氮化物(SiNx)制成缓冲层600。
在图1、图3和图4中所示的实施方式中,所述显示基板中的各个晶体管(包括第一发光控制晶体管T5、第二发光控制晶体管T6、 复位晶体管T4、驱动晶体管T1、第一补偿晶体管T3和第二补偿晶体管体T7)为顶栅型的晶体管。所述第三图形层13位于第一栅绝缘层410上方,并且,所述第一图形层11位于所述第三图形层13上方,第二图形层12位于第一图形层11成上方。但是,本公开并不限于此,各个晶体管也可以为底栅型晶体管。
如图1所示,在一个实施例中,衬底100可由聚氨酯材料制成,有源层500可由多晶硅材料制成,缓冲层600可由硅的氧化物和/或硅的氮化物制成。
如图3所示,在一些实施例中,该显示基板还包括钝化层700,其设置在第二图形层12上并具有延伸至第二发光控制晶体管T6的漏极A的过孔。该显示基板还包括平坦化层800,其设置在钝化层700上,具有延伸至钝化层700的过孔的过孔,即平坦化层800的过孔与钝化层700的过孔在垂直衬底的方向上同轴。该显示基板还包括像素电极900,其设置在平坦化层800上,并通过钝化层700的过孔和平坦化层800中的过孔而与第二发光控制晶体管T6的漏极A电连接。该显示基板还包括有机发光二极管,其设置在像素电极900上。

在本公开中,对显示装置的具体应用不做特殊的要求,例如,所述显示装置可以是可穿戴设备,也可以是平板电脑、导航仪等电子设备。
