At present, narrow bezel is a development trend of the display panels. By arranging the bonding terminals in the display panel to be connected to the circuit board on the back surface of the display panel, it may be possible to increase the effective area of the display region, and in turn achieve narrower bezel. The inventors have found that, in some implementations, the wires and bonding terminals in the display region of the display panel are respectively located on opposite sides of the base substrate of the display panel, and the wires and bonding terminals are electrically connected through side wiring. However, the side wiring manner requires chamfering on the arrises of the base substrate (made of silicon oxide or quartz) to reduce the stress and make the leads on the side surface less likely to break. The material of the base substrate is brittle, so that the chamfering process is difficult, the chamfer size is difficult to control, and edge chipping is prone to occur. In some other implementations, a polyimide (PI) layer may be provided on the base substrate. On the same surface of the PI layer, front-surface bonding terminals, back-surface bonding terminals, and connection leads connecting the front-surface bonding terminals and back-surface bonding terminals are first formed, and then the PI layer is bent so that the back-surface bonding terminals are bent to the back surface of the base substrate. However, during the bending process of the PI layer, in order to ensure the flatness of the display panel, the PI needs to fully fit the surfaces and arrises of the base substrate as much as possible. That is, the PI layer has a 90-degree bending region, which mainly includes connection leads. Therefore, the local stress of the connection leads will be increased, which results in breakage and reduces the reliability of the display panel.


In light of this, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a driving substrate, a light-emitting apparatus, and a method for manufacturing a light-emitting apparatus, to achieve the thinning and narrow bezels of display products, and in turn to ensure or even improve the reliability of display products.


The driving substrate, the light-emitting apparatus and the method for manufacturing the light-emitting apparatus provided in the present disclosure will be introduced below.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the region M in FIG. 1. There are three section lines CC′, DD′ and EE′ in FIG. 1. In order to clearly illustrate the position of each film layer in the driving substrate, FIGS. 3 to 10L are sectional views of the driving substrate taken along the three section lines CC′, DD′ and EE′ in different steps, and the upper left corner of each figure will clearly indicate which section line corresponds to the sectional structure. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the driving substrate in a bending state taken along the section line EE′ in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the driving substrate before bending taken along the section line EE′ in FIG. 1.


Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a driving substrate 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the driving substrate 100 includes a base substrate 1, a flexible film 2, a wiring layer 4, an electrode layer 8 and a connection lead layer 9 that are stacked in sequence. It should be noted that the sequence of forming the film layers sequentially stacked on the base substrate is consistent with the stacking sequence.


The base substrate 1 includes a first surface 1a and a second surface 1b that are opposite to each other and a plurality of side surfaces 1c, and at least one of the plurality of side surfaces 1c is a selected side surface 1cc.


For example, the base substrate 1 has a supporting and protective function, and may be made of a rigid material, which may be any one of quartz, glass, silicon dioxide, silicon, plastic, and polymethyl methacrylate, which is not limited here.


The flexible film 2 is disposed on the first surface 1a, the selected side surface 1cc and a portion of the second surface 1b proximate to the selected side surface 1cc. The flexible film 2 includes a first region A1 located on the first surface 1a, a second region A2 located on the second surface 1b, and a bending region A3 located between the first region A1 and the second region A2. The bending region A3 includes a first corner region A31, a second corner region A32 and a side region A33 connecting the first corner region A31 and the second region A32. For example, the flexible film 2 is made of a flexible material with high bending performance. For example, the flexible film 2 is made of polyimide (PI).


It should be noted that the first region A1 is configured to provide light-emitting devices, control circuits and other devices. The second region A2 is configured to provide electrodes and connection lines for bonding a driver circuit board. The driver circuit board includes at least one of a flexible circuit board, a printed circuit board, a programmable logic array circuit board, or an integrated circuit. The bending region A3 is located between the first region A1 and the second region A2, and the flexible film 2 can be bent in the bending region A3, so that the second region A2 of the flexible film 2 is bent to the second surface 1b of the base substrate 1. The bending region A3 includes the first corner region A31, the second corner region A32 and the side region A33. The side region A33 is located on the selected side surface 1cc, the first corner region A31 is located at a connection position of the first surface 1a and the selected side surface 1cc, and the second corner region is located at a connection position of the second surface 1b and the selected side surface 1cc.


The wiring layer 4, the electrode layer 8 and the connection lead layer 9 are arranged on a side of the flexible film 2 away from the base substrate 1. The wiring layer 4 is located in the first region A1, the second region A2 and the side region A33. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the wiring layer 4 includes a plurality of first wires 41 disposed in the first region A1, a plurality of second wires 42 disposed in the second region A2, and a plurality of third wires 43 disposed in the side region A33.


The electrode layer 8 includes a plurality of first electrodes 81 located in the first region A1, a plurality of second electrodes 82 located in the second region A2, a plurality of third electrodes 83 located in the side region A33 and proximate to the first corner region A31, and a plurality of fourth electrodes 84 located in the side region A33 and proximate to the second corner region A32. Each third electrode 83 is electrically connected to a fourth electrode 84 through the wiring layer 4. Each third wire 43 is electrically connected to a third electrode 83 of the plurality of third electrodes 83 and a fourth electrode 84 of the plurality of fourth electrodes 84. That is, referring to FIG. 2, the third electrode and the fourth electrode 84 corresponding to each other are connected via the third wire 43. Referring to FIG. 3, each first electrode is electrically connected to a first wire 41, and each second electrode is electrically connected to a second wire 42.


The connection lead layer 9 includes a plurality of first connection leads 91 and a plurality of second connection leads 92. The plurality of first connection leads 91 are located in the first corner region A31, and two ends of each first connection lead 91 extend to the first region A1 and the side region A33, respectively. Each first connection lead 91 connects a first electrode 81 and a third electrode 83. The plurality of second connection leads 92 are located in the second corner region A32, and two ends of each second connection lead 92 extend to the second region A2 and the side region A33, respectively. Each second connection lead 92 connects a second electrode 82 and a fourth electrode 84.


According to the above connection relationships, it can be seen that, as shown in FIG. 3, the corresponding first wire 41, first electrode 81, first connection lead 91, third electrode 83, third wire 43, fourth electrode 84, second connection lead 92, second electrode 82 and second wire 42 are electrically connected in sequence to realize the signal transmission between the front and back surfaces of the driving substrate.


For example, the wiring layer 4, the electrode layer 8, and the connection lead layer 9 are each made of metal. For example, the wiring layer 4, the electrode layer 8, and the connection lead layer 9 are each made of at least one of copper, molybdenum, titanium, or aluminum. For example, the connection lead layer 9 may be of a stacked structure of titanium/aluminum/titanium. The “electrical connection” between components of each layer mentioned above refers to the contact between two of the components, and the metal material is conductive, thereby achieving electrical connection.


Portions, located in the bending region A3 and the second region A2, of the flexible film 2 and each film layer that is stacked on the flexible film 2 can be bent to the selected side surface 1cc and the second surface 1b of the base substrate 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the portion of the flexible film 2 located in the bending region A3 is attached to an edge of the first surface 1a of the base substrate 1 proximate to the selected side surface 1cc, the entire selected side surface 1cc, and part of an edge of the second surface 1b; and the portion of the flexible film 2 located in the second region A2 is attached to the second surface 1b of the base substrate 1.


The manufacturing process of the driving substrate 100 is described briefly below. After the flexible film 2, the wiring layer 4 and the electrode layer 8 are formed in sequence, the flexible film 2 is first bent, so that the second region of the flexible film, the second wires, and the second electrodes are located on the second surface of the base substrate, and the side region of the flexible film, the third electrodes, the third wires and the fourth electrodes are located on the selected side surface of the base substrate; a part of the first corner region A31 of the bent flexible film is in contact with both the selected side surface 1cc and the first surface 1a of the base substrate 1; a part of the second corner region A32 of the bent flexible film is in contact with both the selected side surface 1cc and the second surface 1b of the base substrate 1; and then, the connection lead layer 9 is formed on a side of the electrode layer 8 away from the base substrate 1, so that the connection lead layer 9 is electrically connected to the electrode layer 8.


In the above driving substrate 100, after the flexible film 2 is bent, the connection lead layer 9 is formed on the side of the electrode layer 8 away from the base substrate 1. That is, before the flexible film 2 is bent, no connection lead is provided in the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32, and the connection lead layer 9 is formed after bending. Therefore, it can avoid the problem that in the related art, during the bending process of the flexible film 2, the stress on the connection leads on the surface of the flexible film 2 (especially the regions that need to be bent: the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32) increases to cause breakage, and in turn ensure the connection stability of the plurality of first connection leads 91 and the plurality of second connection leads 92 connected to the electrode layer 8, and enhance the reliability of the driving substrate 100.


In some embodiments, the connection leads connecting the front and back surfaces of the base substrate are formed using a printing process, which usually requires three processes to respectively print a part of the connection leads located on the front surface of the base substrate, a part of the connection leads located on the side surface of the base substrate, and a part of the connection leads located on the back surface of the base substrate. Therefore, the printing efficiency is low, and high-precision scanning of all positions on the side surface is required, causing difficulty in process implementation.


In the driving substrate 100 provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the part of the wiring layer 4 located in the side region A33 is electrically connected to the third electrodes 83 and the fourth electrodes 84 of the electrode layer 8. That is, the connection between the third electrode 83 and the fourth electrode 84 is realized through the third wire 43. Therefore, in the process of manufacturing the connection lead layer 9, only the first connection leads 91 and the second connection leads 92 need to be formed; and the electrical connection between the first electrode 81 and the third electrode 83 is realized through the first connection lead 91, and the electrical connection between the fourth electrode 84 and the second electrode 82 is realized through the second connection lead 92, thereby realizing the signal transmission between the first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82. Thus, there is no need to form a connection lead layer in the side region A33, the part of the wiring layer 4 located in the side region A33 is equivalent to the connection leads between the third electrodes 83 and the fourth electrodes 84. In this way, the difficulty of forming the connection lead layer can be reduced, the process of forming the connection lead layer 9 is simplified, and the efficiency of manufacturing the driving substrate is improved. For example, when a printing process is used to form the connection lead layer, two processes are respectively used to print the plurality of first connection leads 91 and the plurality of second connection leads 92, so that one process of printing the connection lead layer in the side region is omitted, and the manufacturing efficiency is improved, and the printing firing pin problem in the high-precision forming process of the connection leads is ameliorated.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, a thickness T of the connection lead layer 9 is in a range of 2 μm to 5 μm.


For example, the thickness of the connection lead layer 9 is 2 μm, 2.5 μm, or 5 μm. As shown in FIG. 3, the thickness of the connection lead layer 9 is not the same everywhere; forming the connection lead layer 9 includes, for example, forming the first connection leads 91 and the second connection leads 92 by three-dimensional printing process after the flexible film 2 is bent; and two ends of the first connection lead 91 extend to the first region A1 and the side region A33 respectively, and two ends of the second connection lead 92 extend to the second region A2 and the side region A33 respectively; and a portion of the first connection lead 91 located in the first corner region A31 and a portion of the second connection lead 92 located in the second corner region A32 each have a large thickness, for example, the thickness T is 5 μm.


In some embodiments, widths of the plurality of first connection leads 91 are approximately the same, and widths of the plurality of second connection leads 92 are approximately the same.


For example, in the process of forming the connection lead layer 9, the plurality of first connection leads 91 are formed first and then the plurality of second connection leads 92 are formed; alternatively, the plurality of second connection leads 92 are formed first and then the plurality of first connection leads 91 are formed. The order of forming the plurality of first connection leads 91 and the plurality of second connection leads 92 is not limited here. It should be noted that in the plurality of first connection leads 91 or the plurality of second connection leads 92 are formed by a single three-dimensional printing process. Therefore, widths of the plurality of formed first connection leads 91 are approximately equal, and widths of the plurality of formed second connection leads 92 are approximately equal; the plurality of first connection leads 91 and the plurality of second connection leads 92 are evenly distributed, and a larger number of first and second connection leads can be formed under the same size conditions, so that the precision of the wiring is improved; therefore, smaller-sized devices can be adapted to the first surface of the driving substrate, resulting in a display panel with a higher resolution. In the process of forming the connection lead layer 9, only two three-dimensional printing processes are required for printing. Compared with the existing printing manner in which the front, side and back surfaces of the base substrate are respectively subjected to printing processes, one process of printing the leads on the side surface is omitted to improve the printing efficiency.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the driving substrate 100 further includes at least one inorganic layer 11 and/or at least one organic layer 6 disposed on the side of the flexible film 2 away from the base substrate 1. The inorganic layer 11 is located in the first region A1, the second region A2 and the side region A33. The organic layer 6 is located in the first region A1 and the second region A2. The connection lead layer 9 is partially in contact with the flexible film 2.


As shown in FIG. 4, when the driving substrate 100 is in a state before bending, the inorganic layer 11 and/or the organic layer 6 are disposed on the side of the flexible film 2 away from the base substrate 1, and both are hollowed out in the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32. That is to say, portions of the surface of the flexible film 2 in the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32 is exposed. Therefore, when the connection lead layer 9 is subsequently formed, the connection lead layer 9 is partially in contact with the surface of the flexible film 2. It should be noted that FIG. 4 is only intended to clearly illustrate the position of each film layer in the driving substrate; the driving substrate is in a non-bending state so that the same film layer is located on the same plane; and the structure shown in FIG. 4 does not actually exist in the final display apparatus. In some embodiments provided in the present disclosure, before the connection lead layer 9 and the protective layer 10 are formed, the driving substrate has been bent, which is in the status shown in FIG. 3.


The inorganic layer and the organic layer in the driving substrate 100 play an insulation or protection role. By removing portions of the inorganic layer and the organic layer in the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32, it can avoid the breakage of the organic layer/inorganic layer in the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32 due to stress concentration during the bending process of the flexible film, which causes water and oxygen to enter from the cracks and affects the insulation and protection effects. Moreover, the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32 are only provided with part of the flexible film; the flexible film has a small thickness, is easier to bend, and can be bent at a minimum angle; the flexible film can fully fit to the surfaces and arrises of the base substrate as much as possible to achieve a bending close to 90 degrees, thereby ensuring the flatness of the film layer of the driving substrate. In addition, after the flexible film is bent, the connection lead layer is formed. The connection lead layer is in contact with the flexible film, and another part thereof overlaps the electrode layer. The bonding force is good, and the reliability of the connection lead layer is improved.


In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the driving substrate 100 further includes an organic layer 6, and the organic layer 6 is disposed on a side of the electrode layer 8 away from the base substrate 1.


For example, the organic layer 6 is made of a resin material.


For example, in the first region A1 and the second region A2, the organic layer 6 is disposed on the side of the electrode layer 8 away from the base substrate 1. In a case where the connection lead layer 9 is not formed, the organic layer 6 exposes surfaces, away from the base substrate 1, of the first electrode 81 electrically connected to the first connection lead 91 and the second electrode 82 electrically connected to the second connection lead 92; and in a case where the connection lead layer 92 is subsequently formed, the connection lead layer 9 can be in contact with the surfaces of the first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82.


It should be noted that, referring to FIG. 3, a distance L1 between a surface of the organic layer 6 away from the base substrate and the base substrate is greater than a distance L2 between a surface of the connection lead layer away from the base substrate and the base substrate. The surface of the connection lead layer 9 is not flush with the surface of the organic layer 6. The organic layer 6 and the connection lead layer 9 have a difference in thickness. In this way, after the connection lead layer 9 is formed, it may play a role in preventing scratches on circuits in the subsequent processes and assembly processes, and improve the reliability of the driving substrate 100.


In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4, the driving substrate 100 further includes the at least one inorganic layer 11, the at least one inorganic layer 11 includes a buffer layer 3 disposed between the flexible film 2 and the wiring layer 4, and the buffer layer 3 is located in the first region A1, the side region A33 and the second region A2.


For example, the buffer layer 3 is made of silicon nitride, silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride. A thickness of the buffer layer 3 is in a range of 0.2 μm to 0.6 μm. For example, the thickness of the buffer layer 3 is 0.2 μm, 0.4 μm, or 0.6 μm. The buffer layer 3 is configured to block water vapor from entering the interior of the driving substrate 100. Referring to FIG. 5, the buffer layer 3 shown in FIG. 5 has a uniform thickness at different positions, and the buffer layer 3 is arranged correspondingly to the wiring layer 4. In a direction of the section line CC′, two adjacent third wires 43 have a gap therebetween, thus being arranged at intervals as shown in FIG. 5.


With continued reference to FIG. 4, the inorganic layer 11 further includes a first insulating layer 5 disposed between the wiring layer 4 and the electrode layer 8. The first insulating layer 5 is located in the first region A1, the side region A33 and the second region A2. The first electrode 81 is electrically connected to a part of the wiring layer 4 located in the first region A1 (the first wire 41) through a first via hole penetrating the first insulating layer 5. The second electrode 82 is electrically connected to a portion (the second wire 42) of the wiring layer 4 located in the second region A2 through a second via hole 52 penetrating the first insulating layer 5. The third electrode 83 and the fourth electrode 84 are electrically connected to a portion (the third wire 43) of the wiring layer 4 located in the side region A33 through a third via hole and a fourth via hole penetrating the first insulating layer 5, respectively.


For example, the first insulating layer 5 is made of silicon nitride, silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride. The first insulating layer 5 has the same pattern as the wiring layer 4 and covers the wiring layer 4, thereby protecting the wiring layer 4 and preventing water and oxygen from corroding the metal of the wiring layer 4.


The inorganic layer 11 further includes a second insulating layer 7 disposed on a side of the organic layer 6 away from the base substrate 1, and the second insulating layer 7 is located in the first region A1 and the second region A2. For example, the second insulating layer 7 is made of silicon nitride, silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride. The second insulating layer has the same pattern as the organic layer 6 and covers the organic layer 6, thereby protecting the organic layer 6 and preventing water and oxygen from corroding the organic layer 6.


Since the buffer layer 3, the first insulating layer 5 and the second insulating layer 7 are each made of an inorganic material with poor bending performance and are prone to be broken during the bending process, portions of the initially formed buffer layer 3, first insulating layer 5 and second insulating layer 7 located in the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32 are completely removed. As shown in FIG. 6, the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32 include only part of the flexible film 2; therefore, in the subsequent bending process, the bending of the flexible film 2 is easy, and problems such as breakage of the inorganic layer will not occur.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the wiring layer 4 includes a plurality of first wires 41 disposed in the first region A1, a plurality of second wires 42 disposed in the second region A2, and a plurality of third wires 43 disposed in the side region A33; and each third wire 43 is electrically connected to a third electrode 83 of the plurality of third electrodes 83 and a fourth electrode 84 of the plurality of fourth electrodes 84.


For example, the first insulating layer 5 includes a plurality of first via holes, a plurality of second via holes, a plurality of third via holes, and a plurality of fourth via holes. The first electrode 81 is electrically connected to the first wire 41 of the wiring layer 4 located in the first region A1 through the first via hole penetrating the first insulating layer 5. The second electrode 82 is electrically connected to the second wire 42 of the wiring layer 4 located in the second region A2 through the second via hole penetrating the first insulating layer 5. The third electrode 83 and the fourth electrode 84 are electrically connected to the third wire 43 of the wiring layer 4 located in the side region A33 through the third via hole and the fourth via hole penetrating the first insulating layer 5, respectively.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, a size D1 of the first electrode 81 in its extending direction is in a range of 50 μm to 100 μm.


For example, referring to FIG. 7 in which the extending direction of the first electrode 81 is taken as a first direction X, the size D1 of the first electrode 81 in the first direction X may be 50 μm, 70 μm, 90 μm, or 100 μm.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, a size D2 of the third electrode 83 in an extending direction of the third electrode 83 and a size D2 of the fourth electrode 84 in an extending direction of the fourth electrode 84 are each in a range of 30 μm to 50 μm.


For example, referring to FIG. 7 in which the extending direction of the third electrode 83 and the fourth electrode 84 is taken as a second direction Y, the sizes D2 of the third electrode 83 and the fourth electrode 84 in the second direction Y may each be 30 μm, 40 μm or 50 μm.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 8, an end of the first connection lead 91 is in contact with a part of an upper surface of the first electrode 81, and another end of the first connection lead is in contact with an entire upper surface of the third electrode 83; an end of the second connection lead 92 is in contact with a part of an upper surface of the second electrode 82, and another end of the second connection lead 92 is in contact with an entire upper surface of the fourth electrode 84; therefore, the sufficient overlap between the connection lead layer and the electrode layer is ensured, the contact resistance is reduced, and the signal transmission performance is improved.


As shown in FIG. 4, when the flexible film 2 is not bent, a size D5 of the first corner region A31 in the first direction X is in a range of 30 μm to 50 μm, and a size D6 of the second corner region A32 in the first direction X is in a range of 30 μm to 50 μm.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, a distance D3 between a boundary line Q1 of the first region A1 and the first corner region A31 and the selected side surface 1cc is in a range of 15 μm to 25 μm.


It can be understood that since a part of the first corner region A31 extends in the first direction X and another part of the first corner region A31 extends in the second direction Y, the distance D3 between the boundary line Q1 of the first region A1 and the first corner region A31 and the selected side surface 1cc is the size of the first corner region A31 in the first direction X. The distance D3 between the boundary line Q1 of the first region A1 and the first corner region A31 and the selected side surface 1cc may be 15 μm, 20 μm or 25 μm.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, a distance D4 between a boundary line Q2 of the second region A2 and the second corner region A32 and the selected side surface 1cc is in a range of 15 μm to 25 μm.


With reference to the above description of D3, it can be seen that since a part of the second corner region A32 extends in the first direction X and another part of the second corner region A32 extends in the second direction Y, the distance D4 between the boundary line Q2 of the second region A2 and the second corner region A32 and the selected side surface 1cc is the size of the second corner region A32 in the first direction X. The distance D4 between the boundary line Q2 of the second region A2 and the second corner region A32 and the selected side surface 1cc may be 15 μm, 20 μm or 25 μm.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the distance D3 between the boundary line Q1 of the first region A1 and the first corner region A31 and the selected side surface 1cc is in a range of 15 μm to 25 μm, and the distance D4 between the boundary line Q2 of the second region A2 and the second corner region A32 and the selected side surface 1cc is in a range of 15 μm to 25 μm.


For example, as for details of the distance D3 between the boundary line Q1 of the first region A1 and the first corner region A31 and the selected side surface 1cc and the distance D4 between the boundary line Q2 of the second region A2 and the second corner region A32 and the selected side surface 1cc, reference can be made to the above description; and the sizes of the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32 in the second direction Y are not limited here. For example, each of the sizes of the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32 in the second direction Y is in a range of 15 μm to 25 μm, such as 15 μm, 20 μm or 25 μm.


The above sizes D3 to D6 need to ensure that the first corner region of the flexible film wraps an arris formed by the meeting of the first surface and the selected side surface of the base substrate, and ensure that the second corner region of the flexible film wraps an arris formed by the meeting of the second surface and the selected side surface of the base substrate. The above sizes D3 to D6 are also related to the cutting accuracy of the base substrate. During the manufacturing process of the driving substrate, the flexible film is laid entirely on the initial base substrate, and the initial base substrate provides support to facilitate the fabrication of metal layer(s), organic layer(s) and inorganic layer(s) on the flexible film. Before the flexible film is bent, a part of the initial base substrate needs to be cut off so that the bending region and the second region of the flexible film are suspended. For example, the cutting accuracy of the base substrate is +15 μm, and the above sizes D3 to D6 are compatible with the cutting accuracy of +15 μm.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the driving substrate 100 further includes a protective layer 10 located in the bending region A3, a portion of the first region A1 proximate to the bending region A3, and a portion of the second region A2 proximate to the bending region A3. The protective layer 10 covers the connection lead layer 9, the wiring layer 4 and the electrode layer 8.


For example, the protective layer 10 is made of an inorganic material, such as silicon nitride or silicon oxide. As shown in FIG. 5, the protective layer 10 covers the connection lead layer 9, the wiring layer 4 and the electrode layer 8, and has a certain insulation effect, thus protecting the plurality of first connection leads 91 as well as the wiring layer 4 and the electrode layer 8, blocking water and oxygen, protecting the wiring layer 4 and the electrode layer 8 from water and oxygen corrosion, and prolonging the service life.


As shown in FIG. 9, some embodiments of the disclosure further provide a light-emitting apparatus 1000 including the driving substrate 100 provided in any one of the above embodiments. The light-emitting apparatus 1000 includes the driving substrate 100, a plurality of light-emitting devices 20, and a driver circuit board 200.


The plurality of light-emitting devices 20 are located on the first surface 1a, and the plurality of light-emitting devices 20 are electrically connected to the plurality of first electrodes 81. The driver circuit board 200 is located on the second surface 1b, and the driver circuit board 200 is electrically connected to the plurality of second electrodes 82. For example, the driver circuit board 200 may be directly electrically connected to the plurality of second electrodes 82 to be bonded to the driving substrate 100. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, the driver circuit board 200 is electrically connected to the plurality of second electrodes 82 through a plurality of bonding electrodes 85 and a plurality of second wires 42.


As shown in FIG. 1, the driving substrate 100 further includes a plurality of bonding electrodes 85 disposed on the side of the flexible film 2 away from the base substrate 1. The plurality of bonding electrodes 85 are electrically connected to the plurality of second electrodes 82, and the plurality of bonding electrodes 85 and the plurality of second electrodes 82 are located in the electrode layer 8. The plurality of bonding electrodes 85 occupy a smaller area relative to the plurality of second electrodes 82. A size of each bonding electrode in the plurality of bonding electrodes 85 is less than a size of each second electrode in the plurality of second electrodes 82; and/or a distance between two adjacent bonding electrodes 85 in the plurality of bonding electrodes 85 is less than a distance between two adjacent second electrodes 82 in the plurality of second electrodes 82; therefore, the display panel may be adapted and connected to the driver circuit board 200 that is highly integrated and smaller in size. As a result, the volume of the display apparatus is further reduced. It can be understood that the driver circuit board 200 has gold fingers, and each gold finger is firmly electrically connected to a corresponding bonding electrode 85 or second electrode 82 through conductive adhesive or other materials.


In some examples, the plurality of light-emitting devices 20 and the wiring layer 4 have a connection relationship that: a part of the wiring layer 4 located in the first region A1 includes a first wiring layer 4″ and a second wiring layer 4′, the second wiring layer 4′ is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 4″ through opening(s) penetrating the second insulating layer 7, the organic layer 6 and the first insulating layer 5, and the light-emitting devices 20 are in direct contact with and electrically connected to the second wiring layer 4′. In some other examples, the part of the wiring layer 4 located in the first region A1 may include only a single-layer structure.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the light-emitting apparatus 1000 further includes: a first adhesive layer 12B disposed on a side of the light-emitting devices 20 away from the base substrate 1, and a first adhesive layer 12A disposed between adjacent light-emitting devices 20. The first adhesive layer 12B may be of a color of black, gray, etc., and is used to protect the light-emitting devices 20 and improve the display contrast of the light-emitting devices 20 in scenarios with strong ambient light. However, it can be understood that the thickness of the first adhesive layer 12B should not be too large and is standardized to ensure that the light-emitting devices 20 emit normal display brightness. The second adhesive layer 12A may be of a color of black, gray, green, or brown, and is used to avoid the interference of light emitted by the light-emitting devices 20, thereby improving the display effect of the display screen. In some embodiments, the first adhesive layer 12B and the second adhesive layer 12A may be made of the same material, and the first adhesive layer 12B and the second adhesive layer 12A may be disposed on the side of the light emitting devices 20 away from the base substrate 1 by an attaching and rolling manner.


As shown in FIG. 9, the first region A1 of the driving substrate 100 includes a display region AA and a peripheral region BB located on at least one side of the display region AA. For example, the peripheral region BB is close to the bending region A3 at least. In some embodiments, in a direction perpendicular to the side surface 1c of the base substrate 1, a size L3 of the peripheral region BB is less than 30 μm; and from the foregoing description, it can be known that when the driving substrate 100 is in a bending state, in the direction perpendicular to the side surface 1c of the base substrate 1, a distance between the peripheral region BB and an outermost edge of the driving substrate 100 is in a range of 15 μm to 25 μm, inclusive. Thus, the driving substrate 100 has a narrow bezel and can adapt to the narrow bezel development requirements of the display apparatus.


For example, the light-emitting apparatus 1000 is a display apparatus. For example, the display apparatus may be a Mini LED display apparatus or a Micro LED display apparatus.


In some examples, mini light-emitting diodes or micro light-emitting diodes are used as light-emitting devices, and they occupy a smaller volume and have smaller granularity compared with traditional LEDs. Within the same screen size, the light source density per unit area is higher and the light source unit size per unit area is smaller. Thus, more precise local control of the light-emitting devices can be achieved, the uniformity of the display brightness may be guaranteed, and the display quality of the display device is guaranteed.


The display apparatus may be any apparatus that displays images whether in motion (e.g., videos) or stationary (e.g., still images) and whether text or images. More specifically, it is contemplated that the described embodiments may be implemented in or associated with various electronic devices. The various electronic devices include, for example, but are not limited to, mobile phones, wireless devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld or portable computers, GPS receivers/navigators, cameras, MP4 video players, video cameras, game consoles, watches, clocks, calculators, television monitors, flat panel displays, computer monitors, car displays (e.g., odometer displays, etc.), navigators, cockpit controllers and/or displays, camera view displays (e.g., rear view camera displays in vehicles), electronic photos, electronic billboards or signages, projectors, architectural structures, packaging and aesthetic structures (e.g., displays for images of a piece of jewelry).


For example, the light-emitting apparatus 1000 may also be used as a direct-lit backlight source in a liquid crystal display apparatus to provide light to the display panel on its light-exit side.


The specific form of the light-emitting apparatus 1000 is not specially limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The light-emitting apparatus 1000 adopts the driving substrate 100 provided in the above-mentioned embodiments.


Therefore, the light-emitting apparatus 1000 provided in the present disclosure has all the beneficial effects of the driving substrate 100 provided in any of the above embodiments, and details will not be repeated here.

For example, the organic layer 6 is made of a resin material, and the organic layer 6 is formed on the side of the electrode layer 8 away from the initial base substrate 1′ using a coating process.


In some embodiments, the first region A1 of the driving substrate 100 includes a display region AA and a peripheral region BB, and the organic layer 6 is disposed in the display region AA.


In S8, as shown in FIG. 10H, a second insulating layer 7 is formed on a side of the organic layer 6 away from the initial base substrate 1′, and the second insulating layer 7 is located in the first region A1 and the second region A2.


For example, the second insulating layer 7 is made of silicon nitride, silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride. For example, the material of the second insulating layer 7 is deposited in the first region A1 and the second region A2 using a deposition process to form the second insulating layer 7.


In S9, as shown in FIG. 10I, the bending region A3 and the second region A2 of the flexible film 2 are stripped, and a portion of the initial base substrate 1′ in the to-be-removed region A5 is removed to form the base substrate 1; the base substrate 1 includes a first surface 1a and a second surface 1b that are opposite to each other and a plurality of side surfaces 1c connecting the first surface 1a and the second surface 1b, and at least one side surface of the plurality of side surfaces 1c is a selected side surface 1cc.


For example, the portion of the initial base substrate 1′ in the to-be-removed region A5 is removed, and a portion of the initial base substrate 1′ in the reserved region A4 is used as the base substrate 1. For example, a boundary line of the reserved region A4 and the to-be-removed region A5 is located in the bending region A3 and proximate to the first region A1. In this way, in the subsequent steps, after the flexible film 2 is bent, the portions of the flexible film 2 located in the bending region A3 and the second region A2 are respectively attached to the selected side surface 1cc and second surface 1b of the base substrate 1.


In some examples, S9 includes as follows.


In S91, a portion of the flexible film 2 corresponding to the to-be-removed region of the initial base substrate 1′ is stripped at least.


In S92, the portion of the initial base substrate 1′ in the to-be-removed region is removed using a cutting process.


As shown in FIG. 10I, a boundary line between a stripped region and a non-stripped region of the flexible film 2 is closer to the display region AA than a boundary line between the reserved region A4 and the to-be-removed region A5 of the initial base substrate 1′. For example, there is a first distance d1 between the boundary line between the stripped region and the non-stripped region of the flexible film 2 and the display region AA, and there is a second distance d2 between the boundary line between the reserved region A4 and the to-be-removed region A5 of the initial base substrate 1′ and the boundary line between the stripped region and the non-stripped region of the flexible film 2, values of the first distance d1 and the second distance d2 depend on the accuracy of the stripping process and the cutting process. For example, the first distance d1 and the second distance d2 are each 30 μm, thus ensuring the smooth stripping progress of the flexible film 2 and cutting the initial base substrate 1′.


In S10, as shown in FIG. 10J, the flexible film 2 is bent, so that portions of the flexible film 2 located in the bending region A3 and the second region A2 are respectively attached to the selected side surface 1cc and the second surface 1b of the base substrate 1.


For example, using two arrises of the base substrate 1 as centers, the flexible film 2 is bent twice at 90°, so that the portions of the flexible film 2 located in the bending region A3 and the second region A2 are respectively attached to the selected side surface 1cc and the second surface 1b of the base substrate 1. Film layers stacked on the flexible film 2 also change correspondingly with the bending position of the flexible film 2.


In this case, a part of the driving substrate 100 located in the bending region A3 only includes the flexible film 2 with high bending performance, and an electrical communication relationship between the first region A1 and the second region A2 is not formed. Therefore, during the bending process, the bending effect can be guaranteed without film breakage or cracks. The first electrodes 81 and the second electrodes 82 are located on the first surface 1a and the second surface 1b of the base substrate 1, respectively.


In S11, as shown in FIG. 10K, a connection lead layer 9 is formed on the side of the flexible film 2 away from the base substrate 1; the connection lead layer 9 includes a plurality of first connection leads 91 and a plurality of second connection leads 92, each first connection lead 91 and each second connection lead 92 are respectively located in the first corner region A31 and the second corner region A32; two ends of each first connection lead 91 extend to the first region A1 and the side region A33, respectively; two ends of each second connection lead 92 extend to the second region A2 and the side region A33, respectively; each first connection lead 91 is connected to a first electrode 81 of the plurality of first electrodes 81 and a third electrode 83 of the plurality of third electrodes 83; and each second connection lead 92 is electrically connected to a second electrode 82 of the plurality of second electrodes 82 and a fourth electrode 84 of the plurality of fourth electrodes 84.


For example, the connection lead layer 9 is formed by using a three-dimensional printing process to print the plurality of first connection leads 91 and the plurality of second connection leads 92. In the process of forming the connection lead layer 9, only two printing processes are required, to realize the signal transmission between the first region A1 and the second region A2. Compared with the existing method for printing the connection leads, one printing process can be omitted, and the printing efficiency is improved.


In S12, as shown in FIG. 10L, a protective layer 10 is formed. The protective layer 10 covers the connection lead layer 9, the wiring layer 4 and the electrode layer 8.


As shown in FIG. 10L, the protective layer 10 is disposed on the side of the connection lead layer 9 away from the base substrate 1. The protective layer 10 covers the plurality of first connection leads 91 and the plurality of second connection leads 92, which can protect the plurality of first connection leads 91 and the plurality of second connection leads 92, thus blocking water and oxygen, preventing the plurality of first connection leads 91 and the plurality of second connection leads 92 from being corroded by water and oxygen, and prolonging the service life.


It should be noted that the plurality of first connection leads 91 at least partially overlap with the first electrodes 81 and the third electrodes 83 of the electrode layer 8, that is, it is ensured that the plurality of first connection leads 91 can realize the communications between the first electrodes 81 and the third electrodes 83. With continued reference to FIG. 10L, the plurality of first connection leads 91 partially overlap with the first electrodes 81 and the third electrodes 83 of the electrode layer 8. That is, before the protective layer 10 is formed, surfaces, away from the base substrate 1, of the first electrodes 81 and the third electrodes 83 are partially exposed; similarly, surfaces, away from the base substrate 1, of the second electrodes 82 and the fourth electrodes 84 are partially exposed. Therefore, the protective layer 10 is provided to cover the electrode layer 8, which can protect some parts of the first electrodes 81, the second electrodes 82, the third electrodes 83 and the fourth electrodes 84, so as to avoid water and oxygen corrosion and prolong service life.


With continued reference to FIG. 10L, the wiring layer 4 includes first wires 41 located in the first region A1, second wires 42 in the second region A2, and third wires 43 in the side region A33; before the protective layer 10 is formed, the third wires 43 of the wiring layer 4 are used to realize electrical signal transmission between the third electrodes 83 and the third electrodes 84; and the third wires 43 are exposed. Therefore, after the protective layer 10 is provided, the protective layer 10 covers the third wires 43, to avoid water and oxygen corrosion, prolong the service life, and in turn improve the overall performance of the driving substrate 100.


For example, a printing process, a transfer printing process, a deposition process, etc. may be used to form the protective layer 10 on a side of the connection lead layer 9, the wiring layer 4 and the electrode layer 8 away from the base substrate 1.
