Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of display, in particular to a flexible organic electroluminescent display panel and a display device.
Background
With the continuous development of society, mobile phones, computers and televisions all need to use visual screens, and the demand of people on the display screens is higher and higher. Organic electroluminescent Display panels (Organic electroluminescence) are widely used in the Display field as a self-luminous Display technology, in which a very thin Organic material coating and a substrate are used, and when a current flows, the Organic material emits light, and the Organic electroluminescent Display panels have a large viewing angle and can significantly save electric energy.
The organic electroluminescent display panel may be further classified into a rigid panel and a flexible panel. Compared with the traditional display panel, the organic electroluminescent flexible panel has obvious advantages, is lighter and thinner in size, is lower than the original device in power consumption, and is beneficial to improving the cruising ability of equipment.
The process for manufacturing an organic electroluminescent display panel generally includes:
providing a substrate;
preparing a thin film transistor array layer on the substrate;
preparing an anode layer on one side of the thin film transistor array layer far away from the substrate; the anode layer is composed of a plurality of anodes formed by the patterned conductive film layer;
preparing a Pixel Definition Layer (PDL) on a side of the anode layer away from the substrate;
preparing a support pillar on a side of the pixel defining layer away from the anode layer;
preparing an organic light-emitting functional layer on one side of the anode layer far away from the substrate;
preparing a cathode layer on one side of the pixel defining layer and the organic light-emitting functional layer far away from the substrate;
the packaging thin film layer is prepared on one side of the cathode layer, which is far away from the substrate, and the thin film packaging layer can isolate a pixel (light-emitting) element from water vapor and oxygen in the surrounding environment because the organic material is quite sensitive to oxygen and water vapor, so that the pixel (light-emitting) element is prevented from being corroded by water and oxygen.
In the preparation process, the support columns are periodically arranged on the pixel defining layer, one function of the support columns is to support a subsequent evaporation mask plate of the organic light-emitting functional material, and the other function of the support columns is to support the cover plate glass. Generally, since the support pillar is above the pixel definition layer, the tape angle of the cathode layer or the thin film encapsulation layer prepared after the support pillar is increased, and the tape angle of the cathode layer is increased to make the cathode layer electrode too thin, thereby causing open circuit or uneven conduction; meanwhile, when the tape angle of the film packaging layer is increased, the probability that the film packaging layer is broken or cracked is increased, and the packaging life of the film packaging layer and the service life of the display panel are shortened.
It is to be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the present invention and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the invention provides a flexible organic electroluminescent display panel and a display device, which can reduce the micro-crack of a thin film packaging layer caused by the folding of a display panel bending area and reduce the probability of packaging failure by reducing the Tape angle of the thin film packaging layer.
An embodiment of the present invention provides an organic electroluminescent display panel including:
a flexible substrate;
the thin film transistor array layer is positioned on one side of the flexible substrate;
the light-emitting device layer comprises an anode layer, a light-emitting functional layer and a cathode layer, wherein the anode layer, the light-emitting functional layer and the cathode layer are sequentially stacked on the thin film transistor array layer and are composed of a plurality of anodes, and the cathode layer covers the pixel defining layer and the light-emitting functional layer;

In some instances, well-known structures or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring the invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a flexible organic electroluminescent display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the flexible organic electroluminescent display panel includes:
the flexible substrate 100 may have a structure with a single-layer or multi-layer flexible substrate film, and the flexible substrate film may be made of a flexible substrate material such as Polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene naphthalate (PBN), or polycarbonate, or may be made of a material such as a metal foil. In the present embodiment, the flexible substrate 100 employs a single PI film. In other embodiments of the present invention, the flexible substrate 100 may be a multilayer PI film, or a multilayer PET film, or have a multilayer film structure in which PI films and PET are alternately laminated.
And a thin film transistor array layer 200 on one side of the flexible substrate 100, i.e., on the upper surface of the flexible substrate 100 in fig. 1.
The pixel defining layer 300 and the light emitting device layer 310 are located on one side of the thin film transistor array 200 away from the flexible substrate 100, the light emitting device layer 310 includes an anode layer 311, a light emitting functional layer 312 and a cathode layer 313, which are sequentially stacked and arranged on the thin film transistor array layer and are composed of a plurality of anodes, and the cathode layer 313 covers the pixel defining layer 300 and the light emitting functional layer 312.
The anode layer 311 in the light emitting device layer 310 is made of a conductive thin film. The anode layer 311 is composed of an anode that is an anode of each pixel in the display panel, and may be obtained by a conductive film patterned on the upper surface of the thin film transistor array layer 200 by evaporation or sputtering, and the material of the conductive film includes a film of a simple substance of metal elements of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), platinum (Pt), and nickel (Ni), or an alloy thereof; or an oxide such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (InZnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), or the like. The thickness of anode layer 311 may be between 10nm and 500nm, preferably between 20nm and 150 nm.
The light emitting function Layer 312 may include an Electron Injection Layer (EIL), an Electron Transport Layer (ETL), an organic light emitting Layer, a Hole Transport Layer (HTL), a Hole Injection Layer (HIL), and an insulating Layer (not shown) between each of the Transport layers and the anode Layer 311 or the cathode Layer 313, which are stacked between the anode Layer 311 and the cathode Layer 313. The light-emitting functional layer of the present invention can be selectively designed according to the actual requirements of each product on the light-emitting brightness and the light-emitting efficiency.
Similarly, the cathode layer 313 in the light emitting device layer 310 may be made of a conductive thin film prepared by various methods, and the material of the conductive thin film includes a thin film of a simple substance of metal elements of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), or an alloy thereof; or an oxide such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (InZnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), or the like. The thickness may be between 10nm and 500 nm.
As shown in fig. 1, the pixel defining layer 300 covers the edge of each anode in the anode layer 311, and an anode, a light emitting function layer and a cathode layer constitute one pixel of the organic electroluminescent display panel, and the pixels are separated by the pixel defining layer 300. Each anode may be divided into an edge-ineffective light emitting region covered by the pixel defining layer 300 and a light emitting region not covered by the pixel defining layer 300. In the embodiment of the present invention, the cross section of the pixel defining layer 300 is trapezoid, and the bottom angle of the trapezoid is defined as a tape angle α of the pixel defining layer, as shown in fig. 1, α may be between 0 to 40 °, and since the cathode layer 313 directly covers the pixel defining layer 300, when the tape angle of the pixel defining layer 300 is large, the tape angle of the cathode layer 313 prepared thereon and the encapsulation film structure is also large. The increased tape angle of the cathode layer makes the cathode layer electrode too thin, resulting in open circuits or non-uniform conduction; meanwhile, when the tape angle of the film packaging layer is increased, the probability that the film packaging layer is broken or cracked is increased, and the packaging life of the film packaging layer and the service life of the display panel are shortened.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the tape angle of the pixel defining layer 300 is 0 to 40 °, and the thickness of the pixel defining layer 300 is 0 to 3 um. Preferably, the Tape angle α of the pixel definition layer of the present invention is between 0-10 ° angle.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the thin film encapsulation structure 400 directly covers the cathode layer 313, i.e. the thin film encapsulation structure 400 directly covers the pixel defining layer 300 and the light emitting device layer 310. At the pixel defining layer 300, since the flexible organic electroluminescent display panel of the present invention does not need to provide a support pillar between the pixel defining layer 300 and the cathode layer 313, the Tape angle β of the thin film encapsulation layer 400 is not greater than α. Compared with the display panel provided with the supporting columns, the Tape angle beta of the film packaging layer is not more than alpha, so that the probability that the packaging effect is lost due to microcracks of the film packaging structure is reduced, and the service life of the organic electroluminescent display panel is prolonged.
To better serve as a water and oxygen barrier, the film package 400 may include multiple film layers, each of which may have complementary properties. The inorganic thin film layer has higher compactness and is mainly used for blocking the invasion of water and oxygen, but the inorganic thin film layer has lower elasticity and larger internal stress and is easier to crack or peel under the action of internal force or external force; the organic film layer has strong flexibility and can be used for reducing the stress of the film packaging structure.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the thin film package structure 400 includes at least an inorganic thin film layer and an organic thin film layer, and the inorganic thin film layer and the organic thin film layer are alternately stacked.
The material of the inorganic thin film layer includes, but is not limited to, oxide, nitride, oxynitride, carbonitride, fluoride, sulfide, or a mixture of the above materials. Wherein, the oxide includes but is not limited to aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, magnesium oxide, silicon oxide, tantalum oxide, hafnium oxide, cerium oxide, tin oxide, boron oxide, gallium oxide, thallium oxide, calcium oxide; nitrides include, but are not limited to, silicon nitride, zirconium nitride, aluminum nitride, titanium nitride, tantalum nitride, hafnium nitride, cerium nitride, tin nitride, preferably silicon nitride; oxynitrides include, but are not limited to, silicon oxynitride, aluminum oxynitride, titanium oxynitride; carbonitrides include, but are not limited to, silicon carbonitride; fluorides include, but are not limited to, magnesium fluoride, sodium fluoride, lithium fluoride; sulfides include, but are not limited to, titanium disulfide, iron sulfide, dichromium trisulfide, copper sulfide, zinc sulfide, tin disulfide, nickel sulfide, cobaltosic sulfide, antimonous trisulfide, lead sulfide, dillenium trisulfide, cerium sulfide, zirconium disulfide, and the like.
The material of the organic thin film layer includes, but is not limited to, any one or a combination of acrylic-based polymer, silicon-based polymer or epoxy-based polymer. For example, epoxy, acrylate, polyimide resin, silicone, PET, PI (polyimide), PC (polycarbonate), polyethylene terephthalate, polymethacrylate, polystyrene, or polyester.
The thin film encapsulation layer 400 can be prepared by one or more of coating, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, or atomic layer deposition.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a flexible organic electroluminescent display panel according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which a film encapsulation structure 400 includes a first inorganic thin film layer 401, an organic thin film layer 402, and a second inorganic thin film layer 403, and the two inorganic thin film layers wrap one organic thin film layer structure, where the organic thin film layer has high elasticity and can be used as a buffer layer to effectively inhibit cracking of the inorganic thin film layer to a certain extent.
Generally, the greater the thickness of the film encapsulation structure 400 is, the better the anti-moisture performance thereof is, the thickness of the film encapsulation structure 400 may be between 1um to 20um, but an excessively thick film encapsulation structure will cause the flexible display panel not to obtain a good flexible bending effect, and preferably, the thickness of the film encapsulation structure 400 is between 2um, 5um, 6um, 7um or 8 um.
The flexible organic electroluminescent display panel of the present invention may further include a planarization layer, as in the embodiment of fig. 2, the planarization layer includes a first planarization layer 501 with a thickness of 2-15um and a second planarization layer 502 with a thickness of 0.5-3 um.
The embodiment of the invention also provides an organic electroluminescent display device which comprises the organic electroluminescent display panel. In specific implementation, the organic electroluminescent display panel provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be any product or component having a display function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a display, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, a media player, a watch device, a pendant device, an earphone or a headphone device, a navigation device, a wearable or miniature device, an embedded device of a system in which an electronic device having a display is installed in a self-service terminal or an automobile, and the like.
In summary, the present invention provides an organic electroluminescent display panel and a display device, wherein the organic electroluminescent display panel includes a flexible substrate; the thin film transistor array layer is positioned on one side of the flexible substrate; the light-emitting device comprises a pixel defining layer and a light-emitting device layer, wherein the pixel defining layer and the light-emitting device layer are positioned on one side, away from the flexible substrate, of the thin film transistor array layer; the Tape angle of the pixel definition layer is alpha; a thin film encapsulation layer directly covering the cathode layer; the Tape angle of the thin film packaging layer is beta, wherein beta is not more than alpha. The organic electroluminescent display panel does not need a protective cover plate or a supporting column for supporting the cover plate, so that the Tape angle of the film packaging layer can be effectively reduced, the probability that the film packaging structure loses packaging effect due to microcracks is reduced, and the service life of the organic electroluminescent display panel is prolonged.
