Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display, in particular to an OLED display panel and a preparation method of the OLED display panel. BACKGROUND
[0002] OLED is a current type light-emitting device, and mainly includes an anode, a cathode and an organic material functional layer. The main working principle of the OLED is that the organic material functional layer emits light through carrier injection and recombination under the driving of an electric field formed by the anode and the cathode.
[0003] The existing OLED display panel includes a TFT array substrate including a TFT driving circuit and a plurality of OLED display devices arranged on the TFT array substrate, and each OLED display device is controlled by a corresponding TFT. The OLED package generally adopts a metal thin film package to block water and oxygen invasion, and has good blocking effect and is widely used in small and medium-sized product applications. However, the metal thin film package can only be used in bottom emission type electroluminescent products, and the electroluminescent products with high requirements on color gamut generally adopt a top emission type backplane structure. Since the metal thin film has poor light transmission, it will affect the light-emitting efficiency of the OLED, and therefore, in the electroluminescent products with the emission type backplane structure, a packaging method of the frame glue and the filling glue is generally adopted.

In addition, in order to ensure the water and oxygen absorption effect, a moisture absorption glue is arranged between the frame glue and the filling glue, but the moisture absorption glue is unstable on the planar layer and has poor sealing, thereby easily leading to water and oxygen invasion.

[0042] The present application provides an OLED display panel 100 and a manufacturing method of the OLED display panel 100, which will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not limited as the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic view of a first structure of the OLED display panel 100 provided in the present application is shown in FIG. 1. The present application provides an OLED display panel 100, which comprises a substrate 10, a planar layer 20, a pixel definition layer 30, a cover plate 50, a first encapsulation part 60 and a second encapsulation part 40.
[0044] The substrate 10 includes a display area 11 and a frame area 12 arranged around the display area 11; the substrate can be a flexible substrate including a single-layer flexible organic layer or two or more flexible organic layers. The material of the flexible organic layer is selected from one or more of polyimide, polyethylene naphthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyarylate, polycarbonate, polyetherimide, and polyethersulfone.
[0045] The flat layer 20 is arranged on the substrate 10. The material of the flat layer 20 can be selected from silicon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, silicon oxynitride, and a stack thereof or an organic material such as an acrylic resin.
[0046] The pixel definition layer 30 is arranged on the flat layer 20, and the pixel definition layer 30 is provided with a first protruding portion 31 in the frame area 12.
[0047] The cover plate 50 is arranged on the side of the substrate 10 provided with the pixel definition layer 30 and opposite to the substrate 10. The cover plate 50 can be a transparent glass, a transparent plastic, or a metal cover plate 50, which is used to protect other elements of the OLED display panel 100.
[0048] The first encapsulating portion 60 is filled between the pixel definition layer 30 and the cover plate 50 and extends from the display area 11 to the frame area 12, and the first encapsulating portion 60 covers at least part of the first protruding portion 31; the second encapsulating portion 40 is arranged between the pixel definition layer 30 and the cover plate 50 and surrounds the first encapsulating portion 60. The first encapsulating portion 60 and the second encapsulating portion 40 are used to adhere the substrate 10 and the cover plate 50 and encapsulate, while preventing water vapor from invading.
[0049] The present application provides the first protruding portion 31 in the frame area 12 through the pixel definition layer 30, and then covers the first protruding portion 31 with the first encapsulating portion 60, so that the first encapsulating portion can stand stably above the flat layer 20 without tilting, thereby improving the sealing property of encapsulation and avoiding water and oxygen invasion. In addition, the first protruding portion 31 is made by the same layer as the pixel definition layer 30, without the need to add a film layer structure or a film layer material, thereby reducing the cost.
[0050] In some embodiments, the number of first protruding portions 31 is at least two, and the spacing between adjacent first protruding portions 31 is equal to or greater than 500 microns. For example, the number of first protruding portions 31 is three, and the spacing between adjacent first protruding portions 31 is 600 microns. The shape of the first protruding portion 31 can be a protruding structure with a square cross section, or a protruding structure with a triangular or other polygonal cross section.
[0051] Further, in some embodiments, the thickness of the flat layer 20 in the display area 11 is greater than the thickness of the flat layer 20 in the frame area 12. By designing the thickness of the flat layer 20 in the display area 11 to be greater than the thickness of the flat layer 20 in the frame area 12, sufficient packaging space can be left for the frame area 12, which is conducive to reducing the overall thickness of the display panel.
[0052] Further, in some embodiments, the thickness of the pixel definition layer 30 in the display area 11 is greater than the thickness of the pixel definition layer 30 in the frame area 12.
[0053] In some embodiments, the OLED display panel 100 further comprises a first passivation layer 81 between the substrate 10 and the flat layer 20. The first passivation layer converts the metal surface of the substrate 10 into a state that is not easily oxidized, thereby slowing down the corrosion rate.

The second passivation layer 82 is located in the display area 11 and covers the cathode 73. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the second passivation layer 82 on the cathode 73 covers the cathode 73. The second passivation layer 82 converts the metal surface of the cathode 73 into a state that is not easily oxidized, thereby slowing down the corrosion rate. The second passivation layer comprises an inorganic layer or an organic layer. The material of the inorganic layer can be selected from aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, zinc oxide, etc. The material of the organic layer can be selected from epoxy resin, polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polyacrylate, etc.

The filling glue comprises an organic material such as epoxy resin or acrylic resin. The frame glue comprises an organic material such as epoxy resin or acrylic resin. The frame glue can be a high water-resistance resin material. The high water-resistance means that the water-oxygen permeability of the frame glue is less than or equal to 60 g / (m2·24h). The filling glue has a first viscosity, and the frame glue has a second viscosity. The first viscosity is less than the second viscosity. For example, the filling glue is in a liquid state, and the frame glue is in a solid state, i.e., a paste.
[0056] Further, in some embodiments, hygroscopic particles are added in the second encapsulation part 40, which can absorb water vapor entering the OLED display panel 100 from the outside.
