技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种平面显示器技术,特别是涉及一种自发光显示器,其中利用定义薄膜晶体管的有源层或栅极电极的材料层来电性连接用于发光元件的电源线。The present invention relates to a flat panel display technology, in particular to a self-luminous display, wherein a material layer defining an active layer or a gate electrode of a thin film transistor is used to electrically connect a power supply line for a light-emitting element.

背景技术Background technique

近年来,平面显示装置的需求快速的增加,例如自发光显示装置。自发光显示装置通常利用有机发光二极管(organic light-emitting diode,OLED)作为像素区中用于影像显示的发光元件,例如有源式阵列有机发光二极管(active matrix OLED,AMOLED)显示器。在自发光显示装置的次像素阵列中,每个次像素(sub-pixel)单元通常包括:由数据线DL、扫描线SL、电源线PL、开关薄膜晶体管SW、驱动薄膜晶体管DR、储存电容C、以及发光二极管D所构成的次像素单元电路,如图1所示。In recent years, the demand for flat panel display devices, such as self-luminous display devices, has increased rapidly. Self-luminous display devices generally use organic light-emitting diodes (organic light-emitting diodes, OLEDs) as light-emitting elements for image display in pixel regions, such as active matrix OLEDs (AMOLED) displays. In the sub-pixel array of a self-luminous display device, each sub-pixel unit usually includes: a data line DL, a scan line SL, a power line PL, a switching thin film transistor SW, a driving thin film transistor DR, a storage capacitor C , and a sub-pixel unit circuit composed of a light emitting diode D, as shown in FIG. 1 .

在AMOLED产品中,为了降低大电流流经电源线时所产生的压降,都是尽可能地加宽电源线的宽度。再者,为了改善每一驱动薄膜晶体管的源极端电压均一性(voltageuniformity),通常会将电源线制作成网状结构,使像素阵列每一列中不同栏的次像素的电源线能够电性连接在一起。In AMOLED products, in order to reduce the voltage drop generated when a large current flows through the power line, the width of the power line is widened as much as possible. Furthermore, in order to improve the voltage uniformity of the source terminals of each driving thin film transistor, the power lines are usually made into a mesh structure, so that the power lines of sub-pixels in different columns in each column of the pixel array can be electrically connected to the Together.

由于网状结构的电源线与数据线由同一金属层制作而成,因此部分的网状结构的电源线会跨越数据线。因此,在电路设计上,必须在网状结构的电源线与数据线的交点额外制作架桥(至少含二个接触孔)。如此一来,会增加电路布局以及工艺的复杂度。再者,网状结构的电源线所需的空间会限制像素尺寸,使显示器中像素的解析度(pixel per inch,ppi)无法提升。Since the power lines and the data lines of the mesh structure are made of the same metal layer, part of the power lines of the mesh structure will cross the data lines. Therefore, in terms of circuit design, an additional bridge (including at least two contact holes) must be made at the intersection of the power line and the data line in the mesh structure. In this way, the complexity of circuit layout and process will be increased. Furthermore, the space required by the power lines of the mesh structure will limit the pixel size, so that the pixel resolution (pixel per inch, ppi) in the display cannot be improved.

因此,有必要寻求一种用于OLED显示器的电源线结构,其可在改善电压均一性的同时,提升显示器解析度。Therefore, it is necessary to seek a power line structure for an OLED display, which can improve the display resolution while improving the voltage uniformity.
