Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, after the encapsulation process of the OLED device is completed, it is difficult to monitor whether the thin-film encapsulation layer is damaged and its encapsulation effect, so that it is impossible to effectively monitor whether the sealing performance of the OLED display device is good, and it is impossible to provide more effective sealing protection for the OLED device.

Abstract

The invention provides a display panel and a preparing method thereof, and relates to the technical field of displaying. Whether encapsulation of the display panel is invalid or not can be monitored through change of the resistance value of a monitoring electrode located outside a display area to further monitor the water-and-oxygen corrosion degree and the service life of OLED units at the edge of the display area in the display panel. The display panel comprises a substrate, and the substrate is divided into the display area; the display panel further comprises multiple OLED units, the monitoring electrode and a thin film encapsulation layer, wherein the multiple OLED units are arranged in the display area, the monitoring electrode is arranged on the substrate and is located outside thedisplay area, and the resistance value is changed after the monitoring electrode reacts with water and / or oxygen; the thin film encapsulation layer at least covers the inside of the display area and the monitoring electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of display technology, in particular to a display panel and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Organic Light-Emitting Display (OLED) is rapidly emerging in the field of display due to its advantages of ultra-thin, low power consumption, high brightness, high luminous efficiency and being applicable to flexible displays, but its service life Shorter defects have been restricting its development. The erosion of OLED devices by water and oxygen is the main reason affecting their service life. On the one hand, the cathodes of OLED devices are usually metals with relatively active chemical properties, which are prone to electrochemical corrosion in a water-oxygen environment and cause device failure; on the other hand, oxygen is prone to oxidation with the light-emitting functional layer in OLED devices. The generated carbonyl compound is an effective quencher, which will reduce the luminous quan...
