Problems solved by technology

When the resolution reaches more than 300ppi, this arrangement requires that the openings and connecting bridges (ribs connecting adjacent openings) of the fine metal mask (FMM) are very small, which not only makes the processing of the mask (MASK) very difficult, but also Moreover, the alignment accuracy of the MASK, the shadow of the MASK, and the deformation of the MASK affected by other factors will seriously affect the evaporation of organic light-emitting materials to form a fine colored pixel pattern.
In response to this problem in the industry, leading companies such as South Korea's Samsung are also actively researching new technologies represented by LITI (laser thermal transfer) in order to produce high-resolution OLED displays, but these new technologies still have many shortcomings. It is not yet available for mass production or the yield rate is low in mass production
For example, it is necessary to increase the production process and additional process technology, resulting in low production efficiency; it is necessary to increase equipment and raw materials, and even to develop special raw materials, resulting in increased investment and costs, etc.
Even so, these new technologies struggle to produce ultra-high-resolution displays above 450ppi
At the same time, small FMM pixel openings will also increase the frequency of FMM cleaning in the continuous evaporation process, resulting in reduced production capacity, waste of evaporation materials, and loss of FMM due to increased cleaning times.

Embodiment 1

[0034] like Figure 8 The illustrated embodiment discloses a pixel array evaporation method that can improve the color gamut and PPI, including the following steps:

[0035] S1 regards the adjacent pixels with the same appearance and color on the evaporation substrate as independent units;

[0036] S2 sets the number of sub-pixels of each independent unit to 3N+1 or 3N+2, and N is a positive integer;

[0037] S3 setting FMM openings on the evaporation substrate;

[0038] S4 evaporates and deposits all the pixel arrangements set in S2 and the evaporation method in which the same unit is opened by the same FMM to form a film.

[0039] In S4, the evaporation includes an evaporation area, and the evaporation area is provided with an evaporation unit, an evaporation source, and an evaporation mask. The vapor deposition source has vapor deposition source openings through which respective vapor deposition particles are emitted, and restricting openings through which the vapor depo...

Embodiment 2

[0044] This embodiment discloses a high color gamut, high PPIOLED device pixel arrangement design and evaporation method, such as figure 2shown. Its purpose is that when the OLED screen with the same resolution is produced, the R, G, B pixel MASK of the solution of the present application is easier to process and less deformed than the MASK of the existing FMM technology because the width of the opening and the connecting bridge is larger. The increase of the distance between them is beneficial to avoid color mixing and improve the product yield. The evaporation alignment Margin is larger, the evaporation process is easy to carry out, the production capacity is increased due to the reduction of the FMM replacement frequency, and the FMM cleaning loss is reduced; or in other words, in the When the mask opening width is the same as that of the existing FMM technology, the FMM connection bridge is wider and not easily deformed, and it can also produce OLED displays with higher p...

Embodiment 3

[0048] This embodiment discloses a pixel arrangement display device and an evaporation method that can improve color gamut and PPI. Triangular-shaped R pixels, G pixels and B pixels that can be independently controlled and emit light are sequentially arranged on the evaporation substrate; The pixels with the same color are regarded as independent units. In the independent units arranged in the same row, the number of pixels in the three single-color independent units can be the same, and the number of sub-pixels in each independent unit is 3N+1 or 3N+2, N All pixel arrays that are positive integers and the same unit are formed by vapor deposition with the same FMM opening.

[0049] FMM openings such as Image 6 and 7 As shown, the shape of the FMM opening is a triangle or a polygon other than a triangle.

[0050] The arrangement design of R, G, B pixels on the evaporation substrate is as follows image 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the R pixel is a red triangle, the G pixel is a...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of OLED device manufacturing, in particular to pixel arrangement display equipment capable of improving color gamut and PPI and an evaporation method. Triangular R pixels, triangular G pixels and triangular B pixels which can be independently controlled and emit light are sequentially arranged on an evaporation substrate; the adjacent pixels with the same appearance and color are used as independent units; in the independent units arranged in the same row, the number of pixels in the three single-color independent units can be the same, the number of sub-pixels of each independent unit is 3N + 1 or 3N + 2, and N is the arrangement mode of all pixels of a positive integer and the evaporation mode that the same unit is perforated by the same FMM to form a film through evaporation. According to the manufacturing method, the machining is conducted, the deformation is not liable to happen, the color mixing is avoided, the product yield is increased, evaporation alignment Margin is larger, the evaporation process is easy to conduct, the productivity is improved due to the fact that the FMM replacement frequency is reduced, and the FMM cleaningloss is reduced; the OLED display screen with higher pixel density can be produced, and the utilization efficiency of an evaporation material is improved.

Background technique [0002] In recent years, flat panel displays have been used in various products and fields, and flat panel displays have been required to be larger in size, higher in image quality, and lower in power consumption. Under such circumstances, an organic EL display device equipped with an organic EL element using electroluminescence (ElectroLuminescence) of an organic material is an all-solid-state flat panel display excellent in low-voltage driving, high-speed response, and spontaneous optical activity. , has received a lot of attention. [0003] At present, most OLED devices are produced by using a metal mask (Fine Metal Mask, FMM) to evaporate the EL film layer of RGB pixels. Each FMM opening corresponds to a pixel. The existing mass p...
