Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the current positive trapezoidal pixel definition layer, the spreading effect of the organic layer after the hydrophobic treatment of the pixel definition layer is poor, and there will be an unspread area at the edge of the conductive glass and the pixel definition layer. After the cathode is evaporated, it is easy to cause a short circuit between the cathode and the anode, resulting in leakage.
The inverted trapezoidal pixel boundary layer will make the spread of the ink in the pixel better, but it will cause the cathode to reduce the discontinuous light-emitting area. To avoid this phenomenon, it is necessary to increase the extra film thickness or plate the cathode very thick.
On the basis of the positive trapezoid, the preparation of double-layer pixel definition layer can avoid the phenomenon of negative-anode short-circuit in the single-layer pixel definition layer, but at the same time, it may cause the reduction of the light-emitting area.
