DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH A DEVICE
Field
The present application relates to the field of emissive display devices. It relates more particularly to a monolithic emissive display device comprising a plurality of light-emitting diodes and an electronic circuit adapted to individually control these diodes to display images. It also relates to a method of manufacturing such a device. The present application relates more particularly to the field of color image display devices.
Presentation of the prior art
Display devices have already been proposed comprising a plurality of organic light-emitting diodes, and a control circuit making it possible to individually control these diodes to display images. To display color images, such devices can include organic light-emitting diodes adapted to emit light of different wavelength ranges.
A drawback of these devices lies in the relatively short lifetime of organic light-emitting diodes, especially when the latter are provided for
B15440 - DD17453CV operate at high luminance levels, for example greater than 10,000 cd / m ^. In particular, if it is known to produce organic light-emitting diodes adapted to emit green light or red light at high luminance levels while exhibiting long lifetimes, it is to date difficult to obtain light emitting diodes adapted to emit blue light at high luminance levels and having long service lives.
There have also been proposed display devices comprising a plurality of inorganic light emitting diodes with gallium nitride, and a control circuit making it possible to individually control these diodes to display images. Gallium nitride light emitting diodes are in fact suitable for emitting at high luminance levels and have long service lives. In such a device, the light-emitting diodes generally emit all in the same range of wavelengths, typically blue light. In order to be able to display color images, the diodes of the red and green pixels are then coated with color conversion elements, for example based on phosphorus, adapted to convert the blue light emitted by the diodes into red light or green light.
One drawback of these devices lies in the constraints linked to the production of the color conversion elements, in particular in terms of size and / or manufacturing cost.
It would be desirable to be able to have a color image display device overcoming all or part of the drawbacks of known devices.

detailed description
The same elements have been designated by the same references in the different figures and, moreover, the various figures are not drawn to scale. For the sake of clarity, only the elements useful for understanding the described embodiments have been shown and are detailed. In particular, the composition and arrangement of the different layers of an active stack of organic light-emitting diode, and the composition and arrangement of the different layers of an active stack of gallium nitride light-emitting diode have not been detailed , the embodiments described being compatible with the usual active stacks of organic light-emitting diodes and light-emitting diodes with gallium nitride. In addition, the production of an integrated light-emitting diode control circuit has not been detailed, the embodiments described being compatible with the usual structures and methods of manufacturing such control circuits.
In the following description, when referring to qualifiers of absolute position, such as the terms front, rear, etc., or relative, such as the terms above, below, upper, lower, etc., or to orientation qualifiers, such as the terms horizontal, vertical, etc., reference is made to the orientation of the sectional views of FIGS. IA, IB, IC, ID or 3, it being understood that, in practice, the devices described may be oriented differently. Unless specified otherwise, the expressions approximately, appreciably, and of the order of mean to the nearest 10%, preferably to the nearest 5%.
According to one aspect of an embodiment, provision is made, in a monolithic color image display device, to co-integrate inorganic light emitting diodes with gallium nitride adapted to emit light in a first range of lengths d waves, for example blue light (i.e. of wavelength between 450 and 490
B15440 - DD17453CV nm), and organic light-emitting diodes adapted to emit light in one or more other wavelength ranges, for example green light (i.e. wavelength between 490 and 570 nm) and red light (i.e. with a wavelength between 600 and 700 nm).
Figures IA, IB, IC and 1D are sectional views schematically illustrating successive steps of an example of an embodiment of a method of manufacturing such a device. FIGS. IA, IB, IC and 1D more particularly represent the production of three pixels B, R and G of the device, each comprising a light-emitting diode, and being adapted to emit light respectively in three bands of distinct wavelengths. By way of example, the pixels B, R and G are adapted to emit blue light, red light and green light respectively. In practice, the display device can comprise a plurality of identical or similar pixels B, a plurality of identical or similar pixels R, and a plurality of identical or similar pixels G, the pixels of each type being B, R and G being able to be regularly distributed over substantially the entire surface of the device, for example in a matrix arrangement.
FIG. 1A schematically represents an integrated control circuit 110, previously formed in and on a semiconductor substrate 111, for example a silicon substrate. In this example, the control circuit 110 comprises, on the side of its upper face, for each pixel B, R and G of the device, a metallic connection pad 113 intended to be connected to one of the electrodes (anode or of the cathode) of the light-emitting diode of the pixel, so as to be able to control a current flowing in the diode and / or a voltage applied to the diode. The control circuit comprises for example, for each pixel, connected to the metal pad 113 of the pixel, an elementary control cell comprising one or more transistors, making it possible to control the current and / or the voltage applied to
B15440 - DD17453CV the pixel diode. The control circuit 110 is for example produced in CMOS technology. The metal studs 113 may be laterally surrounded by an insulating material 114, for example silicon oxide, so that the control circuit 110 has a substantially planar upper surface comprising alternating metal studs 113 and insulating regions 114. As will be explained in more detail below, the contact on the other electrodes (not connected to the pads 113) of the light-emitting diodes, can be taken collectively, for example in a peripheral region of the control circuit 110, by the through one or more connection pads (not visible in the figures) of the control circuit 110.
FIG. 1A illustrates more particularly a step of transferring, on each connection pad 113 of a pixel B of the device, an active stack of gallium nitride light-emitting diode. In this example, the active stack attached to the control circuit is a vertical stack comprising, in order from the surface of the connection pad 113, a conductive layer 121, for example metallic, a layer of gallium nitride P-type doped 123, an emissive layer 125, and a doped gallium nitride layer N-type 127. The emissive layer 125 is for example constituted by a stack of one or more emissive layers each forming a quantum well, for example based on GaN, InN, InGaN, AlGaN, AIN, AlInGaN, GaP, AlGaP, AlInGaP, or a combination of one or more of these materials. As a variant, the emissive layer 125 can be a layer of intrinsic gallium nitride, that is to say not intentionally doped, for example with a concentration of residual donors of between 10 ^ -5 e t ΐο ^ θ atoms / cm ^, for example of the order of 10 ^ atoms / cm ^. In this example, the upper face of the emissive layer 125 is in contact with the lower face of the layer 127, the lower face of the emissive layer 125 is in contact with the upper face of the layer 123, the lower face of the layer 123 is in contact with the upper face of the layer 121, and the lower face of the layer 121 is in
B15440 - DD17453CV contact with the upper face of the pad 113. The conductive layer 121 forms the anode electrode of the diode of pixel B, the layers 123 and 127 respectively forming the semiconductor regions of anode and cathode of the diode. As a variant, the stack attached to the control circuit 110 may not include the conductive layer 121, in which case the semiconductor layer 123 of the stack comes directly into contact with the metal stud 113 of the control circuit, the stud 113 then constituting the anode electrode of the diode of pixel B.
In the example shown, the stack reported on the control circuit 110 in the step of FIG. IA does not include the upper electrode of the diode of pixel B (its cathode electrode in this example), it is that is to say the electrode coating the face of the layer 127 opposite to the layer 123. This upper electrode will in fact be deposited during a subsequent step, at the same time as the lower electrodes of the light-emitting diodes of the pixels R and G.
The stack of gallium nitride diode added to the control circuit 110 in the step of FIG. IA can be previously formed by epitaxy on a suitable support substrate, for example a sapphire or corundum substrate (not shown) . More particularly, layers 127, 125 and 123 can be successively formed by epitaxy from one face of the support substrate, then layer 121 can, if necessary, be deposited on the face of layer 123 opposite the substrate of support. The support substrate can then be removed, then the diodes can be individualized, for example by sawing. To cut the diodes into individual chips, an adhesive retaining film may first be placed on the side of the face of the active stack opposite the support substrate. Once the individualized diodes, the latter can be added one by one to the control circuit 110, to obtain the structure of FIG. IA.
Alternatively, the active stack can be attached in one piece to the upper face of the circuit.
B15440 - DD17453CV control 110, before cutting the stack into individual diodes, so that the stack covers substantially the entire surface of the control circuit 110. The support substrate for the active stack can then be removed, by example by grinding, then the active stack can be locally removed by etching opposite the R and G pixels, so as to keep portions of the active stack only above the B pixels of the sensor, so as to obtain the structure of Figure IA.
At the end of the step of FIG. IA, the active parts of the light-emitting diodes of the pixels B form discrete pads or islands arranged on the upper face of the control circuit 110. These pads or islands have for example a thickness between 0.1 and 1 pm, for example of the order of 0.5 pm.
FIG. 1B illustrates a planarization step of the upper surface of the structure obtained at the end of the step of FIG. IA. During this step, the volume laterally separating the active parts of the diodes of the pixels B is filled with an insulating filling material 129, for example silicon oxide or resin, so as to obtain a structure having a higher surface. substantially flat. By way of example, the filling material 129 is first deposited on the entire upper surface of the structure, including above the pixels B, over a thickness greater than that of the active stacks of diodes of the pixels B, then a step planarization is implemented, for example by chemical mechanical polishing, during which the filling material is only stored around the active stacks of the diodes of the pixels B, over a thickness substantially equal to that of the active stacks.
FIG. 1C illustrates a step of simultaneous formation, in the same conductive level M, for example metallic, of upper electrodes 131 of the inorganic diodes of the pixels B of the device, and of lower electrodes 133 of the organic diodes of the pixels R and G of the device. By driver level,
B15440 - DD17453CV here means a set of conductive regions formed simultaneously and arranged in the same mean plane substantially parallel to the upper face of the control circuit 110.
More particularly, during this step, a cathode electrode 131 disposed on and in contact with the upper face of the cathode layer 127 of the pixel diode is formed on each pixel B of the device. In this example, the electrode 131 covers only part of the upper surface of the diode of the pixel B. In fact, the device described in relation to FIGS. IA, IB, IC and 1D is intended to emit light by its upper face, and the electrode 131 should therefore not mask the entire upper surface of the diode of pixel B. By way of example, the electrode 131 extends, in top view, over all or part of a peripheral region of the diode of pixel B.
During this step, an electrode 133 is also formed on each pixel R and on each pixel G of the device, arranged on the upper face of the insulating filling layer 129, for example directly above the connection pad 113 of the pixel. The electrode 133 extends for example over the entire surface of the organic light-emitting diode (not yet produced) of the pixel. The electrode 133 is connected to the underlying connection pad 113 of the pixel via a via conductor 135, for example made of tungsten or copper, passing through the insulating layer 129. The vias 135 can be produced after the deposition of the insulating layer 129 and before the formation of electrodes 131 and 133, during a step not detailed. It will be noted that the stud 113 has the function of electrically supplying the electrode 133 by the via of the via 135. Thus, as a variant, the stud 113 may have a surface area smaller or greater than that of the electrode 133, and / or be offset (in top view) relative to the electrode 133.
Preferably, the electrodes 133 (and consequently the electrodes 131, the latter being produced in the same conductive level M as the electrodes 133), are provided to have an upper surface which is reflective for the light coming from
B15440 - DD17453CV the upper part of the device. This makes it possible to increase the light output of the device by returning to its upper face the light emitted by the organic electroluminescent layers in the direction of its lower face. By way of example, the electrodes 133 comprise at least one upper layer of silver, tin oxide, aluminum, an aluminum-copper alloy, or a transparent conductive oxide (ZnO, AZO, ITO, etc.).
The vias 135 and the electrodes 131 and 133 can be produced according to conventional photolithography methods of the type usually used for the manufacture of integrated circuits, for example in CMOS technology.
FIG. 1C also illustrates a step subsequent to the formation of the electrodes 131 and 133, during which a localized insulation layer 137, for example made of resin, is deposited over the entire upper surface and on the sides of the metallizations 131, so as to isolate the metallizations 131 of the upper layers (not visible in FIG. 1C) of the device. The insulation layer 137 does not, however, extend over at least part of the upper face of the lower electrodes 133 of the diodes of the pixels R and G. In the example shown, the insulation layer 137 extends over a peripheral region and on the sides of each electrode 133, so as to reinforce the insulation between the diodes of pixels neighboring the device, and so as to soften the edges formed by the electrodes 133 for the subsequent deposition of a semiconductor layer organic. The localized insulation layer 137 is for example made of a photosensitive resin. The resin is for example initially spread over the entire upper surface of the device, then exposed and etched so as to keep the resin only in the desired regions.
FIG. 1D illustrates a step of depositing an organic semiconductor layer 139 on the upper surface of the structure obtained at the end of the series of steps of FIG. IC.
Layer 139 is an active light-emitting diode layer
B15440 - DD17453CV organic. Layer 139 can be a single layer of a mixture of organic semiconductor materials of opposite conductivity types, or a vertical stack of at least two layers of organic semiconductor materials of opposite conductivity types. More generally, any stack of one or more organic semiconductor layers suitable for emitting light when a current passes through it can be used. In this example, the organic semiconductor layer 139 is chosen to be suitable for emitting green light and red light simultaneously. As a variant, the organic semiconductor layer 139 is chosen suitable for emitting white light, that is to say adapted for simultaneously emitting blue light, green light and red light. The organic semiconductor layer 139 extends continuously over substantially the entire upper surface of the structure obtained at the end of the sequence of steps of FIG. IC. In particular, the organic semiconductor layer 139 has its lower face in electrical contact with the lower electrodes 133 of the pixels R and G of the device. The localized insulation layer 137 on the other hand allows the organic semiconductor layer 139 not to be in electrical contact with the upper electrodes 131 of the pixels B of the device. It will be noted that, depending on the materials chosen to form the electrodes 133 and the organic layer 139, one or more conductive adaptation layers can be deposited on the upper surface of the structure obtained at the end of the sequence of steps in the figure. IC, before the deposition of the organic semiconductor layer 139.
FIG. 1D further illustrates a step of depositing, on the upper surface of the organic semiconductor layer 139, a conductive layer 141 corresponding to the upper electrode of the pixels R and G of the device. The layer 141 is formed in a conductive level M + 1 situated above the level M. The conductive layer 141 forms an electrode common to all the pixels R and G of the device. In this example, the layer 141 is a continuous layer extending over substantially the entire surface
B15440 - DD17453CV upper of the device. The device being intended to be viewed from the side of its upper face, the upper electrode layer 141 is chosen capable of transmitting the major part of the light emitted by the organic light-emitting diodes of the pixels R and G, and by the inorganic light-emitting diodes pixels B. By way of example, the electrode 141 is a metal electrode, for example made of silver, of thickness less than 10 nm, or an electrode made of a transparent conductive material, for example made of indium tin oxide. In practice, depending on the materials chosen to form the organic semiconductor layer 139 and the upper electrode 141, one or more conductive adaptation layers can be deposited on the upper surface of the layer 139, before the conductive layer 141 is deposited.
Figure ID further illustrates a step of depositing, on the upper surface of the conductive layer 141, an encapsulation layer 143, having in particular the function of preventing penetration of air or moisture into the organic semiconductor layer 139. By way of example, the encapsulation layer 143 is deposited by deposition ALD (from the English Atomic Layer Deposition - deposition in monoatomic layers). The layer 143 is for example made of silicon oxide (SiOg) or aluminum oxide (AI2O3).
FIG. 1D also illustrates a step of depositing, above the organic light-emitting diode of each pixel R, respectively G, of a color filter 145R, respectively 145G, for example of colored resin. The 145R filter transmits only a first part of the spectrum of the light emitted by the underlying light-emitting diode, and the 145G filter transmits only a second part (distinct from the first part) of the spectrum of the light emitted by the light-emitting diode under- underlying. In this example, the 145R filter only transmits red light and the 145G filter only transmits green light. Alternatively, in each pixel B, the organic light emitting diode is further
B15440 - DD17453CV surmounted by a color filter (not shown), for example in colored resin, having a bandwidth distinct from that of the filters 145R and 145G, for example a filter adapted to transmit only blue light. The prediction of a filter on the pixels B makes it possible, for example, to correct a possible wavelength dispersion of the light emitted by the inorganic light-emitting diode of the pixel, induced by the organic semiconductor layer 139. The prediction of a specific filter on the pixels B can moreover make it possible to compensate for a possible difference in brightness between the inorganic light-emitting diodes of the pixels B and the organic light-emitting diodes of the pixels R and G. Indeed, the elementary cells of control of the control circuit 110 are preferably all identical in order to simplify the construction of the circuit 110. In this case, the diodes of the pixels B, R and G receive substantially the same supply voltage. In the case where, for the same supply voltage, the inorganic light-emitting diodes of the pixels B emit at a higher luminance level than the organic light-emitting diodes of the pixels R and G, the provision of a color filter on the pixels B can make it possible to attenuate the level of luminance of the pixels B to bring it back to a level equivalent to that of the pixels R and G.
Thus, the device obtained at the end of the sequence of steps in FIG. ID comprises pixels B, R and G adapted to emit light respectively in three bands of distinct wavelengths, each pixel B comprising a diode inorganic light emitting light and each pixel R or G comprising an organic light emitting diode.
In this example, the lower electrodes 133 of the light-emitting diodes of the pixels R and G correspond to the anode electrodes of the organic light-emitting diodes, and the upper electrode 141 corresponds to the cathode electrode of the organic light-emitting diodes.
B15440 - DD17453CV
Figure 2 is a top view schematically illustrating an example of arrangement of the pixels B, R and G of the device of Figure 1D. In FIG. 2, the pixels are shown diagrammatically by squares. In addition, on each pixel B, the upper electrode 131 of the pixel diode is represented by a hatched square. Also shown in Figure 2, by a dashed rectangle, the upper electrode 141 of the diodes of the pixels R and G. In top view, the pixels B, R and G are for example arranged in a matrix along lines and columns.
The upper electrodes 131 of the pixels B of the device are connected to each other via a network of conductive tracks 201 (not visible in FIGS. IA, IB, IC, 1D) produced in the conductive level M at the same time than the electrodes 131 and 133. The insulation layer 137 (FIGS. IC and 1D) covering the upper electrodes 131 of the pixels B also covers the upper surface and the sides of the conductive tracks 201, so as to isolate the network of conductive tracks 201 of the organic semiconductor layer 139 (FIG. 1D) of the device.
The network 201 of conductive interconnection tracks of the electrodes 131 is connected, outside the pixel matrix, for example on the periphery of the pixel matrix, to the upper electrode 141 common to the organic light-emitting diodes of the pixels R and G. This makes it possible to interconnect the upper electrodes of all the light-emitting diodes of the device, the individual control of each diode being carried out by its lower electrode 121 or 133, by means of the corresponding connection pad 113 of the control circuit 110.
It will be noted that in the example described above, only the lower electrode layer 133 of the organic light-emitting diodes is pixelated, the organic semiconductor layer
139 and the upper electrode layer 141 being continuous layers.
B15440 - DD17453CV
Figure 3 is a sectional view schematically illustrating an example of another embodiment of a color image display device.
The device of FIG. 3 differs from the device described above mainly in that, in the device of FIG. 3, the continuous organic semiconductor layer 139 of the device described above is replaced by a discontinuous organic semiconductor layer 339, located only at the level organic light emitting diodes of the R and G pixels of the device.
The embodiment of the device of Figure 3 comprises for example the same steps as those described in relation to Figures IA, IB and IC.
The embodiment of the device of FIG. 3 further comprises a step of depositing an organic semiconductor layer 339 on the upper surface of the structure obtained at the end of the series of steps of FIG. IC. Layer 339 is a discontinuous layer located at the level of only the pixels R and G of the device, and does not extend in particular above the pixels B of the device. More particularly, the layer 339 comprises, at each pixel R, a portion 339R in electrical contact with the lower electrode 133 of the pixel, and, at each pixel G, a portion 339G in electrical contact with the lower electrode 133 of the pixel. The layers 339R and 339G are active layers of organic light-emitting diode of distinct natures. More particularly, each portion 339R is adapted to emit light in a first range of wavelengths when it is crossed by an electric current, and each portion 339G is adapted to emit light in a second range of lengths d 'distinct waves of the first range when it is crossed by an electric current. By way of example, the layer 339R is chosen suitable for emitting only red light, and the layer 339G is chosen suitable for emitting only green light. The localized layers 339R and 339G are for example deposited by
B15440 - DD17453CV screen printing or using stencils, or by any other method of localized deposition of an organic semiconductor layer.
The upper electrode 141 common to the pixels R and G is then deposited in a similar or identical manner to what has been described previously. In particular, the electrode 141 can be a continuous electrode extending over substantially the entire surface of the device, including above the pixels B. The encapsulation layer 143 can then be deposited in an identical or similar manner to that which has been described above, over the entire upper surface of the device.
Note that in the example of Figure 3, the organic semiconductor layer 339 not extending above the pixels B of the device, the upper electrode 131 of the pixels B does not need to be isolated. Thus, the localized insulating layer 137 can be omitted at least at the level of the upper electrodes 131 of the pixels B. In the case where, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper electrode 141 of the pixels R and G extends over substantially the entire surface of the device, including above the pixels B, the lower face of the electrode 141 then comes directly into contact with the upper face of the electrodes 131, which makes it possible to interconnect the upper electrodes of all the device diodes.
Due to the prediction of the semiconductor layers 339R and 339G specifically adapted to the emission wavelengths of the pixels R and G respectively, the color filters 145R, 145G surmounting the pixels R and G of the device of FIG. 1D can be omitted in the device of figure 3.
In practice, the embodiment of FIG. 3 is well suited to display devices in which the pixels have large dimensions, for example whose smallest dimension in top view is greater than 20 μm and preferably greater than 50 pm. The embodiment of FIG. 1D is in turn well suited to display devices in which the pixels have relatively small dimensions, for example whose smallest dimension in top view is less than
B15440 - DD17453CV pm and preferably less than 5 pm, for which the localized deposition of an organic semiconductor layer would be difficult to achieve.
Particular embodiments have been described. Various variants and modifications will appear to those skilled in the art. In particular, examples of embodiments have been described in which, in each pixel of the device, the lower electrode of the pixel diode is the anode electrode and the upper electrode of the pixel diode is the electrode of cathode. Those skilled in the art will be able to adapt the embodiments by reversing the polarity of the diodes of the device.
