Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及显示技术领域,具体涉及一种掩膜板、显示基板及其制备方法、显示装置。The invention relates to the field of display technology, in particular to a mask plate, a display substrate, a preparation method thereof, and a display device.
背景技术Background technique
在有机电致(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,OLED)显示领域,对于一些膜层而言,其侧面的坡度角越小,越有利于提高产品的良率,例如,当像素界定层中用于蒸镀有机发光材料的像素开口的侧面的坡度角越小时,对有机发光材料均匀沉积越有利,从而提高像素开口中形成的发光层的均匀性。In the field of Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) displays, for some film layers, the smaller the slope angle of the side surface is, the better the yield of products is improved. For example, when the pixel definition layer is used for evaporation The smaller the slope angle of the side surface of the pixel opening coated with the organic light-emitting material, the more favorable it is for the uniform deposition of the organic light-emitting material, thereby improving the uniformity of the light-emitting layer formed in the pixel opening.
目前,可以通过调整工艺过程参数以使侧面的坡度角减小,但是,也仅能将侧面的坡度角减小至40°,若想将侧面的坡度角进一步减小,仅通过调整工艺过程参数则难以实现。因此,亟待一种更有效的方法将侧面的坡度角进一步减小。At present, the slope angle of the side can be reduced by adjusting the process parameters, however, the slope angle of the side can only be reduced to 40°. If you want to further reduce the slope angle of the side, only by adjusting the process parameters is difficult to achieve. Therefore, a more effective method is urgently needed to further reduce the slope angle of the side.

本发明实施例提供一种掩膜板,用于对光敏材料层进行曝光,光敏材料层包括待去除区域、待保留区域和连接在待去除区域与待保留区域之间的斜坡形成区域。图1为本发明实施例提供的掩膜板的结构示意图之一,如图1所示,该掩膜板包括与待去除区域对应的透光区域A和位于透光区域A之外的遮光区域B,遮光区域B中设置有遮光层1,遮光层1上设置有与斜坡形成区域对应的光衍射图形2,光衍射图形2用于在曝光时使光线衍射,以使光敏材料层在完成曝光和显影后,在斜坡形成区域形成坡度角小于或等于30°的斜坡面。Embodiments of the present invention provide a mask for exposing a photosensitive material layer, where the photosensitive material layer includes a to-be-removed area, a to-be-reserved area, and a slope forming area connected between the to-be-removed area and the to-be-reserved area. FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a mask provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the mask includes a light-transmitting area A corresponding to the area to be removed and a light-shielding area located outside the light-transmitting area A B, a light-
在本发明实施例中,光敏材料层的材料可以包括正性光阻材料,在进行曝光时,可以使透光区域A位于光敏材料层的待去除区域的上方,遮光区域B位于光敏材料层的待保留区域的上方,光衍射图形2位于光敏材料层的斜坡形成区域的上方。由于遮光区域B中设置有遮光层1,遮光层1对光线进行遮挡,因此,光线只能经过透光区域A和光衍射图形2射出,其中,光衍射图形2使入射的光线发生衍射,并使衍射后的光线照射至光敏材料层的斜坡形成区域,从而使斜坡形成区域的光敏材料层接收到少量光线,从而发生部分变性。在本发明实施例中,可以根据实际需要,预先设置好光衍射图形2的尺寸和位置(例如光衍射图形2为狭缝时,光衍射图形2的尺寸可以是指狭缝的宽度),以使光敏材料层在经过曝光显影等构图工艺后,在斜坡形成区域形成坡度角小于或等于30°的斜坡面。In this embodiment of the present invention, the material of the photosensitive material layer may include a positive photoresist material. During exposure, the light-transmitting area A may be located above the to-be-removed area of the photosensitive material layer, and the light-shielding area B may be located above the photosensitive material layer. Above the area to be reserved, the
采用本发明实施例提供的掩膜板对光敏材料层进行构图工艺后,可以在光敏材料层的斜坡形成区域形成坡度角小于或等于30°的斜坡面,该斜坡面有利于提高产品的良率,例如,以该斜坡面作为像素开口的侧面可以提高发光材料沉积的均匀性,或者,较平缓的斜坡面可以有效改善段差带来的膜层断裂或模印等问题。After the photosensitive material layer is patterned using the mask provided in the embodiment of the present invention, a slope surface with a slope angle less than or equal to 30° can be formed in the slope formation region of the photosensitive material layer, and the slope surface is conducive to improving the yield of products For example, using the slope surface as the side of the pixel opening can improve the uniformity of the deposition of the luminescent material, or a gentler slope surface can effectively improve the problems such as film breakage or stamping caused by the step difference.
在一些具体实施例中,掩膜板可以用于对像素界定材料层进行曝光,以形成具有多个像素开口的像素界定层,下面以用于对像素界定层进行曝光的掩膜板为例,对本发明实施例提供的掩膜板进行详细介绍,具体地,图2为本发明实施例提供的掩膜板的结构示意图之二,图3a为本发明实施例提供的衍射图案的结构示意图之一,图4为图3a沿剖线CC’的纵剖图,结合图2、图3a和图4所示,该掩膜板包括:多个透光区域A和遮光区域B。透光区域A与显示基板的像素单元一一对应,遮光区域B将多个透光区域A彼此间隔开,光衍射图形2包括至少一个狭缝21,狭缝21为环绕相应的透光区域A的环状结构。In some specific embodiments, a mask can be used to expose the pixel-defining material layer to form a pixel-defining layer having a plurality of pixel openings. The following takes the mask for exposing the pixel-defining layer as an example, The mask provided by the embodiment of the present invention is introduced in detail. Specifically, FIG. 2 is the second schematic diagram of the structure of the mask provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3a is the one of the schematic structural diagrams of the diffraction pattern provided by the embodiment of the present invention. 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of FIG. 3a along the section line CC', combined with FIG. 2, FIG. 3a and FIG. The light-transmitting area A corresponds to the pixel units of the display substrate one-to-one, the light-shielding area B separates a plurality of light-transmitting areas A from each other, and the
在本发明实施例中,可以使狭缝21位于像素界定材料层上用于形成像素开口的侧面的位置的上方。狭缝21使入射的光线发生衍射,并使衍射后的光线照射至像素界定材料层上对应于像素开口的侧面的位置。在经过曝光之后,再对像素界定材料层进行显影即可得到具有多个像素开口的像素界定层。在本发明实施例中,狭缝21为连续的环状结构,从而可以使像素开口各个方向上的侧面的坡度角均减小,进一步提高发光材料沉积的均匀性。如图4所示,在一些具体实施例中,掩膜板还包括透明基底3,遮光层1设置在透明基底3上。其中,透明基底3的材料包括石英玻璃,遮光层1的材料包括铬。在本发明实施例中,可以通过溅射的方式在透明基底3上形成铬材料层,之后,再对铬材料层进行刻蚀,以在铬材料层对应于透光区域A的位置形成开口,以及在透光区域A的外围形成狭缝21,从而得到遮光层1。采用上述方式制备的掩膜板工艺简单,有利于节约生产成本。In the embodiment of the present invention, the
在一些具体实施例中,狭缝21的宽度不大于狭缝21与透光区域A之间的间隔宽度。具体地,如图4所示,在本发明实施例中,间隔宽度a为狭缝21的内侧边与透光区域A的外侧边之间的距离,狭缝21的宽度b为狭缝21的内侧边与狭缝21的外侧边之间的距离。图5a为本发明实施例提供的不同宽度的狭缝所形成的像素开口的形貌示意图之一,如图5a所示,像素界定层42形成在衬底41上,坡度角为像素开口的侧面与衬底41之间的夹角,狭缝21与透光区域A之间的间隔宽度a为1.3μm,沿图5a中从左至右的方向,狭缝21的宽度b依次为1.0μm、1.5μm、2.0μm、2.5μm和3.0μm,像素开口的左侧侧面的坡度角依次为24.4°、21.0°、25.8°、32.7°和34.1°,像素开口的右侧侧面的坡度角依次为28.6°、14.5°、14.7°、33.7°和33.7°。随着狭缝21的宽度b的增大,衍射现象逐渐减弱,当狭缝21的宽度b大于狭缝21与透光区域A之间的间隔宽度a时,可以明显看出像素开口中出现残余的像素界定材料,进而影响发光材料在像素开口中的蒸镀。在本发明实施例中,通过使狭缝21的宽度b不大于狭缝21与透光区域A之间的间隔宽度a,可以改善上述问题。In some specific embodiments, the width of the
在一些具体实施例中,通过调整上述的狭缝21的宽度b和狭缝21与透光区域A之间的间隔宽度a,还可以使像素开口的侧面的坡度角减小至20°以下,从而使像素开口更有利于发光材料的均匀蒸镀,进一步提高像素开口中发光层的厚度均匀性。In some specific embodiments, by adjusting the width b of the
在一些具体实施例中,狭缝21与透光区域A之间的间隔宽度a在0.6μm至1.8μm之间,狭缝21的宽度b在0.6μm至1.8μm之间。图5b为本发明实施例提供的不同宽度的狭缝所形成的像素开口的形貌示意图之二,如图5b所示,像素界定层42形成在衬底41上,坡度角为像素开口的侧面与衬底41之间的夹角,间隔宽度a为2.2μm,沿图5b中从左至右的方向,狭缝21的宽度b依次为1.0μm、1.5μm、2.0μm、2.5μm和3.0μm,像素开口的左侧侧面的坡度角依次为32.0°、36.2°、39.6°、38.7°和41.3°,像素开口的右侧侧面的坡度角依次为36.3°、35.3°、39.8°、39.6°和39.2°。相较于图5a最左侧的像素开口的形貌,图5b中最左侧的像素开口的形貌的狭缝21与透光区域A之间的间隔宽度a较大,像素开口的侧面的表面出现起伏不平,并且,随着狭缝21的宽度b逐渐增大,像素开口中出现残余的素界定材料相较于图5a中更多。因此,在本发明实施例中,通过使狭缝21与透光区域A之间的间隔宽度a在0.6μm至1.8μm之间,狭缝21的宽度b在0.6μm至1.8μm之间,可以防止像素开口的侧面的表面出现起伏不平,同时避免像素开口中出现残余的素界定材料,提高像素开口中发光层的厚度均匀性。In some specific embodiments, the interval width a between the
图3b为本发明实施例提供的衍射图案的结构示意图之二,如图3b所示,在一些具体实施例中,光衍射图形2包括多个狭缝21,多个狭缝21的宽度b均相同,且多个狭缝21之间的距离也均相同,均等于最靠近透光区域A的狭缝21与透光区域A之间的间隔宽度a。在本发明实施例中,通过设置多个狭缝21,可以进一步减小像素开口的侧面的坡度角。FIG. 3b is the second schematic structural diagram of the diffraction pattern provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3b, in some specific embodiments, the
图3c为本发明实施例提供的衍射图案的结构示意图之三,图3d为本发明实施例提供的衍射图案的结构示意图之四,结合图3c和图3d所示,在一些具体实施例中,透光区域A与显示基板的像素单元一一对应,光衍射图形2包括多个间隔的透光图案22,多个透光图案22环绕透光区域A设置,其与透光区域A无间隔,从而形成边缘为锯齿状的结构。如图3c所示,透光图案22可以为矩形,如图3d所示,透光图案22可以为三角形。可以理解的是,在本发明实施例中,透光图案22还可以为其他形状,只要其可以使入射光发生衍射,并使衍射后的光线照射在斜坡形成区域,以使斜坡形成区域中形成坡度角小于或等于30°的斜坡面即可。FIG. 3c is a third schematic structural diagram of a diffraction pattern provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3d is a fourth schematic structural diagram of a diffraction pattern provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3c and FIG. 3d, in some specific embodiments, The light-transmitting areas A correspond one-to-one with the pixel units of the display substrate. The
需要说明的是,上述内容仅是以用于制备像素界定层的掩膜板为例进行解释说明的,在一些具体实施例中,掩膜板并不限定于用于制备像素界定层,还可以用于制备其他膜层,例如,本发明实施例的掩膜板可以用于制备AA区外围的堤坝等结构,甚至是用于制备无机层在刻蚀过程中所需的光刻胶,通过减小光刻胶的斜坡面的坡度角,有利于在后续的刻蚀工艺中,使制备的无机层的斜坡面的坡度角减缓。以本发明实施例的掩膜板用于制备形成环绕AA区的堤坝为例,堤坝具有背离衬底的顶面、朝向衬底的底面和连接在顶面和底面之间的侧面,堤坝顶面所在区域即为待保留区域,堤坝侧面所在区域即为斜坡形成区域,其他区域则为待去除区域。It should be noted that the above content is only explained by taking the mask used for preparing the pixel definition layer as an example. For preparing other film layers, for example, the mask of the embodiment of the present invention can be used to prepare structures such as dams around the AA area, and even to prepare the photoresist required for the etching process of the inorganic layer. The small slope angle of the slope surface of the photoresist is beneficial to slow down the slope angle of the slope surface of the prepared inorganic layer in the subsequent etching process.

本发明实施例还提供一种显示基板的制备方法,图6为本发明实施例提供的制备方法的流程图,如图6所示,该制备方法包括以下步骤:An embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for preparing a display substrate. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the preparation method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6 , the preparation method includes the following steps:
S1、在衬底上形成光敏材料层;光敏材料层包括待去除区域、待保留区域和连接在待去除区域与待保留区域之间的斜坡形成区域;S1, forming a photosensitive material layer on the substrate; the photosensitive material layer includes a to-be-removed area, a to-be-retained area, and a slope forming area connected between the to-be-removed area and the to-be-reserved area;
S2、利用掩膜板对光敏材料层进行构图工艺,以使光敏材料层对应于待去除区域的部分被去除,对应于待保留区域的部分被保留,对应于斜坡形成区域的部分形成斜坡面,斜坡面的坡度角小于或等于30°;S2, using a mask to perform a patterning process on the photosensitive material layer, so that the part of the photosensitive material layer corresponding to the area to be removed is removed, the part corresponding to the area to be reserved is retained, and the part corresponding to the slope forming area forms a slope surface, The slope angle of the slope surface is less than or equal to 30°;
其中,掩膜板为上述的掩膜板。Wherein, the mask is the above-mentioned mask.
在本发明实施例中,光敏材料层的材料可以包括正性光阻材料,在进行曝光时,可以使掩膜板的透光区域位于光敏材料层的待去除区域的上方,遮光区域位于光敏材料层的待保留区域的上方,光衍射图形位于光敏材料层的斜坡形成区域的上方。由于掩膜板的遮光区域中设置有遮光层,遮光层对光线进行遮挡,因此,光线只能经过透光区域和光衍射图形射出,其中,光衍射图形使入射的光线发生衍射,并使衍射后的光线照射至光敏材料层的斜坡形成区域。在本发明实施例中,可以根据实际需要,预先设置好光衍射图形的尺寸和位置(例如光衍射图形为狭缝时,光衍射图形的尺寸可以是指狭缝的宽度)以使光敏材料层在经过曝光显影等构图工艺后,在斜坡形成区域形成坡度角小于或等于30°的斜坡面。In this embodiment of the present invention, the material of the photosensitive material layer may include a positive photoresist material. During exposure, the light-transmitting area of the mask may be located above the to-be-removed area of the photosensitive material layer, and the light-shielding area may be located on the photosensitive material. Above the to-be-retained area of the layer, the light diffraction pattern is located above the slope-forming area of the photosensitive material layer. Since a light-shielding layer is provided in the light-shielding area of the mask, the light-shielding layer shields the light, so the light can only be emitted through the light-transmitting area and the light diffraction pattern. The light is irradiated to the slope forming region of the photosensitive material layer. In this embodiment of the present invention, the size and position of the light diffraction pattern may be preset according to actual needs (for example, when the light diffraction pattern is a slit, the size of the light diffraction pattern may refer to the width of the slit) to make the photosensitive material layer After a patterning process such as exposure and development, a slope surface with a slope angle less than or equal to 30° is formed in the slope forming region.

For example, when the side surface of the pixel opening is When the slope angle is less than or equal to 30°, the uniformity of the deposition of the luminescent material can be improved; of course, the sides of other film layers can also be set as the slope surface with the slope angle less than or equal to 30°, thereby effectively improving the film layer difference. This leads to problems such as cracking or stamping of the upper film layer.
