Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the current flexible display technology is not mature enough, and the process is relatively complicated.
In order to improve the stress and flexibility of the flexible AMOLED bending area, the existing flexible AMOLED manufacturing process needs to etch the inorganic film with poor stress and poor flexibility in the bending area, and then fill it with flexible Better PI (polyimide) material
As a result, the manufacturing process of flexible AMOLED requires multiple exposure processes, and each exposure process requires a photomask
However, the price of the photomask is relatively high, and it accounts for a relatively high cost in the production process of flexible AMOLED.
