Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a method for manufacturing an organic electroluminescent display panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
providing a substrate 10; preferably, the substrate 10 is a transparent substrate;
forming an organic electroluminescent display layer 20 on a transparent substrate 10;
disposing a film layer 30 on the organic electroluminescent display layer 20 to encapsulate the organic electroluminescent display layer 20;
arranging a stopper 40 on one side of the transparent substrate 10, the stopper being spaced apart from the film 30;
cleaning one side of the transparent substrate 10 opposite to the organic electroluminescent display layer 20;
blowing air toward one end of the transparent substrate 10 where the stopper 40 is provided by an air blowing mechanism 50;
the edge portion of the transparent substrate 10 is cut to remove the stopper 40.
In the method for manufacturing the organic electroluminescent display panel 100 according to the embodiment of the invention, the stopper 40 is provided, so that the air flow caused by the blowing mechanism 50 can be effectively blocked, the film layer 30 can be prevented from being blown, and the problems of poor bubbles and the like in the film layer 30 can be prevented.
Specifically, the transparent substrate 10 may be made of a rigid material or a flexible material, and in this embodiment, the transparent substrate is made of a glass material. The organic electroluminescent display layer 20 is sequentially stacked on the transparent substrate 10 by evaporation, printing, and coating, and the structure is a stacked structure well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein. The film layer 30 is used to encapsulate the organic electroluminescent display layer 20 to block water or oxygen molecules from entering the organic electroluminescent display layer 20, thereby preventing damage to the organic electroluminescent display layer 20.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the stopper 40 is disposed on one side of the transparent substrate 10 and spaced apart from one end of the film 30. The side where the block 40 is provided serves as an inlet of the blowing mechanism 50, and thus, the block 40 may serve to block the influence of the blowing mechanism 50 on the film 20. In the present embodiment, the stopper 40 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, which is simple in structure and easy to manufacture. The stopper 40 may be made of a single material such as foam, plastic, rubber, etc. It is understood that the stop 40 may be formed by splicing two or more of the above materials.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, a glue layer 42 is disposed on one side of the block 40, and a protection layer 44 is disposed on the other side. Two ends of the protection layer 44 respectively protrude from two sides of the block 40 to form two connection ends 46, and each connection end 46 is provided with a positioning hole 48.
In the present embodiment, the stopper 40 is disposed on the substrate 10 by a positioning carrier 200. The carrier 200 is formed with a recess 210, and two ends of the carrier are provided with positioning posts 212. In order to attach the stopper 40 to the substrate 10, the substrate 10 with the film 30 and the organic electroluminescent display layer 20 is first placed in the groove 210 of the positioning carrier 200. The adhesive layer 42 on one side of the stop block 40 faces the substrate 10, two ends of the protection layer 44 are sleeved on the positioning posts 212 of the positioning carrier 200 through the positioning holes 48, the side of the stop block 40 provided with the adhesive layer 42 is adhered to the substrate 10, and finally, the protection layer 44 is manually torn off from the positioning carrier 200 and the stop block 40.
It is understood that the provision of the stopper 40 on one side of the transparent substrate 10 further includes; the transparent substrate 10 provided with the stopper 40 is taken out of the positioning carrier 200. In this embodiment, the transparent substrate 10 provided with the stoppers 40 is sucked and removed from the positioning carrier 200 by four vacuum chucks (not shown) to the transparent substrate 10.
Cleaning is performed from the side of the transparent substrate 10 opposite to the organic electroluminescent display layer 20. The substrate 10 subsequently requires laser irradiation from the bottom to lift the substrate 10 off the organic electroluminescent display layer 20. In order to prevent the contaminated particles from affecting the subsequent peeling effect, the substrate 10 needs to be washed with water.
After the transparent substrate 10 is cleaned, the substrate 10 is dried by the air blowing mechanism 50. The air blowing mechanism 50 is disposed on an air drying device (not shown), and in this embodiment, the air blowing mechanism 50 includes an upper air blade 51 and a lower air blade 52. The seasoning apparatus further comprises a conveyor for horizontally moving the substrate 10 provided with the film layer 30 and the organic electroluminescent display layer 20 to pass between the upper wind blade 51 and the lower wind blade 52, and the upper wind blade 51 and the lower wind blade 52 are used for removing moisture or impurities on the surfaces of the substrate 10 and the film layer 30. The air knives 51, 52 blow air toward the end of the transparent substrate 10 where the stopper 40 is disposed to remove the residual water marks or impurities on the surface of the transparent substrate 10. It is understood that the substrate 10 provided with the film layer 30 and the organic electroluminescent display layer 20 may not move, and the upper air blade 51 and the lower air blade 52 horizontally pass through two sides of the substrate 10, so as to remove residual water marks or impurities on the surface of the transparent substrate 10.
The upper and lower air knives 51, 52 form a certain angle with the running direction of the transparent substrate 10. In order to ensure that the air knife can effectively remove the residual water drops on the substrate 10, the intersecting angle of the extension line of the top point of the upper air knife 51 passing through the stopper 40 and the bottom surface of the transparent substrate 10 is defined as theta, and the angle is required to satisfy 35 degrees < theta <45 degrees, and the lower air knife 52 intersects the upper air knife 51 by 90 degrees. Referring to fig. 4, in order to avoid the upper wind knives 51, 52 blowing up the film 30, the height of the stopper 40 satisfies the following relationship:
H>(a+d)*tanθ
where H represents the height of the stop 40, a represents the thickness of the film 30, and d represents the distance separating the stop 40 from one end of the film 30.
Specifically, in fig. 5, in order to prevent the film 30 from being blown up by the upper wind blade 51, the side of the maximum angle of the wind blade intersects with the top corner of the side of the block 40 adjacent to the film 30, and forms a triangle together with the block 40 and the substrate 10. The triangle shape provides a stagnant area for the air flow of the upper air blade 51 according to the flow characteristics of the air, and the film 30 should extend into the triangle shape in order to avoid the film 30 being blown up. When the maximum included angle between the windward blade 51 and the substrate 10 is θ, the distance from the position where the windward blade 51 intersects the substrate 10 to the rib 40 is D, and therefore, the height of the stopper 40 is calculated as H ═ D × tan θ. When the thickness a of the film 30 is less than 0.2mm, D ≈ D, and thus, the stopper H ═ D ≈ tan θ; when the thickness a of the film layer 30 is greater than 0.2mm, D ═ a + D, H ═ a + D ═ tan θ; therefore, the height of the stopper 40 should satisfy H > (a + d) × tan θ in design.
In a further embodiment of the invention, it has been found through further experiments that the different configurations of the baffle have a great influence on the air flow. Referring to fig. 6, the stop 60 includes a base portion 62 and an inclined portion 64 connected thereto. The base portion 62 is substantially rectangular and includes a bonding edge 63 and a horizontal edge 66, the bonding edge 63 is used for connecting the transparent substrate 10, and the bonding portion 63 is disposed in a plane for facilitating the connection. The inclined portion 64 is located on the horizontal side 66. Specifically, the angled portion 64 is a right triangle with one right side partially coincident with the horizontal side 66 and the other right side flush with one side of the base portion 62. The inclined portion 64 provides a better flow guide for the air flow. Since the inclined portion 64 is greatly affected by the airflow, the stopper 60 of such a structure should be made of a rigid material to prevent the inclined portion 64 from vibrating. Thus, the stop 60 of this shape is preferably made of a high durometer plastic.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, in order to avoid the inclined portion from being impacted by a large air flow, referring to fig. 7, the present stopper 70 may further include a flattened portion 79 on the inclined portion 78, wherein the flattened portion 79 is obtained by flattening a sharp corner of the inclined portion 78. The chamfered portion 79 serves to reduce the impact of the air flow on the inclined portion 78, and this structure makes the stopper 70 more smoothly affected by the air flow. The stop 70 may be made of rubber, plastic or a dense foam material.
While the foregoing is directed to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
