Description
技术领域technical field
本发明是提供一种显影装置,尤指一种有机电激发光的图素定义层的显影装置。The invention provides a developing device, especially a developing device for an organic electroluminescent pixel definition layer.
背景技术Background technique
有机电激发光显示器(organic electroluminescent display)因为重量轻,高对比、应答速度高、耗电低及亮度高等优点,近年来成为备受注目的新世代平面显示器。然而,有机电激发光元件由于其技术较新、发展相较于其他显示器晚,技术尚未完全成熟,故目前在商品化过程及大量生产过程,还有许多障碍有待克服。Organic electroluminescent display (organic electroluminescent display) has become a new-generation flat-panel display that has attracted much attention in recent years because of its advantages such as light weight, high contrast, high response speed, low power consumption, and high brightness. However, because the technology of organic electroluminescent devices is relatively new and developed later than other displays, the technology is not yet fully mature, so there are still many obstacles to be overcome in the process of commercialization and mass production.
有机电激发光显示面板的主要结构包含有复数条互相平行的铟锡氧化物(ITO)阳极电极,复数条互相平行但与阳极电极垂直的光阻阻隔墙,一有机电激发光材料层是蒸镀于相邻的光阻阻隔墙内,以及复数条互相平行的阴极电极,是蒸镀于有机电激发光材料层上。阳极电极、有机电激发光材料层与阴极电极的三明治结构便构成有机电激发光显示面板的发光画素(pixel)。另外,显示面板表面上会设置有一图素定义层,是涂布于阳极电极与光阻阻隔墙之间,可以定义出阳极电极的发光区的面积与图案(pattern),还可以将阳极电极与沉积在光阻阻隔墙上的阴极电极隔开,使阴极电极与阳极电极短路的机率降低,进而提升显示面板的制作良率。The main structure of the organic electroluminescent display panel includes a plurality of indium tin oxide (ITO) anode electrodes parallel to each other, a plurality of photoresist barrier walls parallel to each other but perpendicular to the anode electrodes, and an organic electroluminescence material layer is evaporated It is deposited in the adjacent photoresist barrier walls, and a plurality of cathode electrodes parallel to each other are deposited on the organic electroluminescent material layer. The sandwich structure of the anode electrode, the organic electroluminescent material layer and the cathode electrode constitutes a light-emitting pixel of the organic electroluminescence display panel. In addition, a pixel definition layer is provided on the surface of the display panel, which is coated between the anode electrode and the photoresist barrier wall, and can define the area and pattern of the light-emitting area of the anode electrode, and can also connect the anode electrode and the photoresist barrier wall. The cathode electrodes deposited on the photoresist barrier wall are separated, so that the probability of short circuit between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode is reduced, thereby improving the manufacturing yield of the display panel.
一般而言,图素定义层使用的材质为光阻层或聚亚醯胺(polyimide),由于聚亚醯胺具有较佳的热安定性、机械安定性、电安定性以及光安定性,可以使有机电激发光显示面板具有较佳的发光稳定度与较长的使用寿命。制作的方法包含有涂布聚亚醯胺或是聚亚醯剩前躯体(precursor),依序进行预烤、曝光、曝光后烤、显影、高温烘烤等制程,以定义出聚亚醯胺的图案。其中,显影现有技术在传统的集成电路、光电制程中,是将硅基板置于吸盘上旋转,而后由喷嘴分别喷洒显影液与水洗液,最后再高速旋干。但随着显示器尺寸往新世代推进而加大,与显示器玻璃基板较硅基板重很多的双重效应影响,使得传统转盘设计无法负荷如此大的重量与高速旋转下的离心力,使得显影不均匀或不干净造成光阻残留,而大大降低显示元件的良率。而因此或改采将显示基板浸泡在不同的显影槽与水洗槽的方式进行,但却无法连续操作每一个步骤,必须由人为传送的方式将显示面板取出并装载至另一个机台中,因此整个显影制程的时程会延长许多,不利于量产作业,也不利于大面积的显示面板制造。此外,由于人为因素不易控制,常会在传送过程中产生延误或是损坏,因此一般的显影设备根本无法精确地控制显影时间,也不能确保显影制程的品质。Generally speaking, the material used for the pixel definition layer is photoresist layer or polyimide (polyimide), because polyimide has better thermal stability, mechanical stability, electrical stability and light stability, it can be The organic electroluminescent display panel has better luminous stability and longer service life. The production method includes coating polyimide or the polyimide precursor (precursor), and sequentially performing pre-baking, exposure, post-exposure baking, development, high-temperature baking and other processes to define the polyimide picture of. Among them, in the conventional technology of developing, in the traditional integrated circuit and optoelectronic manufacturing process, the silicon substrate is placed on the suction cup and rotated, and then the developer and the washing liquid are sprayed by the nozzle respectively, and finally spin-dried at high speed. However, as the size of the display increases toward the new generation, the double effect of the display glass substrate being much heavier than the silicon substrate makes the traditional turntable design unable to bear such a large weight and centrifugal force under high-speed rotation, resulting in uneven or uneven development. Cleaning results in photoresist residue, which greatly reduces the yield of display components. Therefore, the method of soaking the display substrate in different developing tanks and washing tanks may be adopted, but it is impossible to continuously operate each step. The display panel must be taken out and loaded into another machine by manual transfer. Therefore, the entire The time course of the development process will be much longer, which is not conducive to mass production, and is also not conducive to the manufacture of large-area display panels. In addition, due to human factors that are difficult to control, delays or damages often occur during the transfer process. Therefore, general developing equipment cannot accurately control the developing time at all, nor can it ensure the quality of the developing process.
再者,特别针对有机电激发光显示器结构中的聚亚醯胺图素定义层而言,由于聚亚醯胺是在其经过最后一道220-350℃高温烘烤后寸会具备高电气、机械、热与化学安定性;而在此之前其化学性质尚未稳定,容易受到硷性物质等化学药剂的破坏。所以对其非感光型聚亚醯胺显影而言,其显影制程就同时包含光阻图案的显影,与被显影掉光阻下层聚亚醯胺的蚀刻。所以需要做精确的显影时间控制,避免显影时聚亚醯胺遭受显影液TMAH的过度蚀刻,使图素定义面积的规格改变甚至造成PI剥离脱落,以提升显示器的制程良率与规格稳定性。创作人爰因于此,本于积极创作的精神,亟思一种可以解决上述问题的“有机电激发光的图素定义层的显影装置”,几经研究实验终至完成此项创作。Furthermore, especially for the polyimide pixel definition layer in the organic electroluminescence display structure, since polyimide has high electrical and mechanical , thermal and chemical stability; before this, its chemical properties were not stable, and it was easily damaged by chemical agents such as alkaline substances. Therefore, for the non-photosensitive polyimide development, the development process includes both the development of the photoresist pattern and the etching of the polyimide under the developed photoresist. Therefore, precise development time control is required to prevent polyimide from being over-etched by the developer TMAH during development, changing the specification of the pixel definition area or even causing PI peeling off, so as to improve the process yield and specification stability of the display. Because of this, the creators, based on the spirit of active creation, eagerly thought of a "developing device for the pixel definition layer of organic electroluminescence" that can solve the above problems, and finally completed the creation after several researches and experiments.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
实施例1Example 1
请参考图1,图1是本发明实施例1的显影装置10的示意图。本发明提供一种显影装置10,是用来对一有机电激发光显示面板(未显示)进行一显影制程,以于显示面板表面的聚亚醯胺图素定义层上定义ITO阳极电极的发光区图案与面积。显影装置10包含有一承载单元12是用来承载显示面板,一显影单元14是与承载单元12相连接,一清洗单元16是与显影单元14相连接,一吹干单元18是与清洗单元16相连接,一下载单元19是与吹干单元18相连接,一传送单元20是分别与显影单元14、清洗单元16与吹干单元18相连接,以及一控制单元22是与传送单元20相连接。显影装置10利用控制单元22来控制传送单元20的传送顺序与传送时间,使传送单元20得以连续传送的方式,将显示面板依序传送至显影单元14、清洗单元16以及吹干单元18中,并精确地控制显示面板于每一个单元中的处理时间。其中,显影单元14是用来提供一显影液,以使显影液均匀分布在显示面板的表面上,并持续一设定显影时间。清洗单元16是用来喷洒一清洗溶液,以移除显示面板表面上所残留的显影液。吹干单元18是用来吹干显示面板表面上所残留的清洗溶液。下载单元19是用来装载显影完处理的显示面板,以提供一缓冲区使显示面板直接进入下游的光阻剥离模组。传送单元20是为一种传输滚轮单元,是由复数个设置于轮轴两端的承接内缘滚轮以及限制外缘滚轮所组成,其中承接内缘滚轮是用以承接显示面板,限制外缘滚轮是用以固定显示面板于传输滚轮单元中的横向相对位置,且在使用上,该输送装置的轮轴两端滚轮间距可作调整,可视OLED的面板宽度调整两滚轮间距,即可具备不同尺寸基板的量产的操作弹性。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a developing
请参考图2,图2是图1所示的显影单元14的示意图。显影单元14包含有一腔体24,一通气设备26是与腔体14相连接,用来提供腔体24内所需通入的惰性气体,如氮气(N2)、氩气(Ar)等,以避免聚亚醯胺图素定义层产生氧化,一显影液加热温度控制器29是与腔体14相连接,用来控制显影液的显影温度,以及一显影液回收单元28是与腔体24相连接,用来回收使用过的显影液并提供重复利用。腔体24内设有一喷嘴30,用来喷洒显影液,一喷压控制器31,是利用泵来控制显影液在喷嘴30的喷压,一显影槽32,用来振摇已喷洒显影液的显示面板,以及至少一风刀34设于腔体24的末端,用来吹除显示面板表面上多余的显影液,减少使用过的显影液污染到下一槽。当显示面板自承载单元12中被传送到显影单元14后,腔体24内的喷嘴30会对显示面板喷洒显影液,喷压控制器31会控制显影液在喷嘴30的喷压,使显影液获得最全的均匀度。而于显影槽32中,会以摇摆的方式来振摇显示面板,以使显影液均匀地分布在显示面板表面上。另一种方式是在显影槽32中填入显影液,可以直接将显示面扳浸泡在显影槽32中,并进行摇摆方式的振摇,也能达到均匀地分布的效果。此外,还可以同时采用上述的喷洒与浸泡显影液两种方式,将能够更快速地达到均匀地分布的效果。至于以振摇的方式来取代已知旋转的方式,则是为了避免显示面板上的显影液因过度旋转而喷溅腔体24,这对于提高显影液的回收率有很大的帮助。而风刀34的功用,则是于显示面板被传送到清洗单元16之前,用来吹除显示面板表面上多余的显影液,不但能提高显影液的回收率,也能降低后续步骤所需使用的清洗溶液的用量。Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic diagram of the developing
在显影单元14中,控制单元22会控制显影液喷洒时间以及振摇时间,并于到达设定显影时间后,立刻由传送单元20将显示面板传送至清洗单元16中。随后,清洗单元16会喷洒一高压去离子水,来清洗显示面板表面上的显影液。跟着,显示面板会被传送至吹干单元18中,并被以空气吹干或风刀吹干的方式吹干,便完成显影制程。由于控制单元22可以控制显示面板于每一个单元中的处理时间,而且传送单元20可以连续传送显示面板至每一个单元中,因此显影装置10可以精确地控制显示面板所需的预定显影时间,以避免人为操作而产生显影时间误差,与人工作业的成本。此外。连续传送的作业方式可以有效缩短显影制程的时程,相当适用于工厂的量产作业,特别是大面积的显示面板的量产作业。In the developing

由于显影装置40设置有前后连接的第一、第二与第三显影单元441、442、443,因此可以依据维修需要以及显影制程要求来弹性选择使用第一、第二或第三显影单元441、442、443,并由控制单元52来控制选择使用的显影单元的进行方式与处理时间,以精确地控制所需的显影液量与预定显影时间。例一:在进行大量生产时,可以同时于每一个显影单元中进行显影液涂布、振摇步骤以及预定显影时间的控制,使显、影装置40的产量提高三倍。例二:当一个显影单元需要进行维修或是补充显影液时,可于另二个显示单元中进行显影液涂布与振摇步骤,以避免显影装置40因一个显影单元停摆而无法运作。例三:当显影制程需要更换不同浓度或不同药剂的显影液时,可以于不同的显影单元中单元不同种类的显影液,使显影装置40可以同时进行三种显影制程。Since the developing device 40 is provided with the first, second and third developing
综上述可知,显影装置40的连续传送方式搭配设置至少两个显影单元,不但能有效缩短显影制程的时程,还能增加显影装置40的使用选择空间,对于提升显影装置40的使用寿命与使用效率都有很大的助益。To sum up, it can be seen that the continuous transmission mode of the developing device 40 is equipped with at least two developing units, which can not only effectively shorten the time course of the developing process, but also increase the space for using the developing device 40, which is helpful for improving the service life and use of the developing device 40.

The first cleaning unit 661 is used to spray a high-pressure circulating aqueous solution to initially remove the residual developer on the surface of the display panel. The second-stage cleaning unit 662 is used to spray a high-pressure fresh deionized water to completely remove the developer remaining on the surface of the display panel.
显影装置60设置两阶段的清洗单元,是先于第一段清洗单元661中初步清洗显示面板,以大量减少显示面板表面上的显影液,再于第二段清洗单元662中完全清除掉残留的显影液。因此,第二段清洗单元662只需耗费少量的高压新鲜去离子水,便能完全移除显示面板表面上的显影液。这样可以避免过多的显影液喷溅而污染第二段清洗单元662,以确保其他显示面板于第二段清洗单元662中的清洗品质,并延长第二清洗单元662的使用寿命。此外,由于使用过的高压新鲜去离子水的污浊度不高:可以提供重复利用来初步清洗显示面板,因此会被循环至第一段清洗单元661中,作为高压循环水溶液。The developing device 60 is provided with a two-stage cleaning unit, which preliminarily cleans the display panel in the first-stage cleaning unit 661 to greatly reduce the developer on the surface of the display panel, and then completely removes the residual developer in the second-stage cleaning unit 662. developer solution. Therefore, the second-stage cleaning unit 662 only needs to consume a small amount of high-pressure fresh deionized water to completely remove the developer on the surface of the display panel. In this way, too much developer can be prevented from splashing and contaminating the second-stage cleaning unit 662 , so as to ensure the cleaning quality of other display panels in the second-stage cleaning unit 662 and prolong the service life of the second-stage cleaning unit 662 . In addition, since the used high-pressure fresh deionized water has low turbidity: it can be reused for preliminary cleaning of the display panel, so it will be circulated to the first-stage cleaning unit 661 as a high-pressure circulating aqueous solution.
综上述可知,显影装置60的连续传送方式搭配设置两阶段清洗单元,不但能有效控制显影制程的时程,还能达到环保与节省成本的功效,对于提升显影装置60的使用寿命与使用效率都有很大的助益。To sum up, it can be seen that the continuous transmission mode of the developing device 60 is equipped with a two-stage cleaning unit, which can not only effectively control the time schedule of the developing process, but also achieve the effects of environmental protection and cost saving. It helps a lot.
