Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flexible display, in particular to a color filter cover plate and a display terminal device. Background Art

[0002] At present, most OLED display panels use RGB three-color OLED materials as the light-emitting layer, and the surface is attached with polarizers to reduce the metal electrode and reduce the reflection of ambient light by the metal cathode. However, due to the strong rigidity of the polarizer, the bending ability of the display panel will be reduced in the current situation of vigorously developing flexible displays. At the same time, due to the low transmittance of the polarizer, the OLED driving circuit needs to provide a larger voltage during display, which not only increases the power consumption but also accelerates the oxidation of the OLED display material and reduces the life of the display panel. Due to the large difference in the oxidation rate of the RGB three-color OLED materials, the green OLED has the strongest antioxidant ability, while the blue OLED material has the weakest antioxidant ability due to the aromatic ring structure of the molecule. This causes the OLED display panel to produce color deviation due to inconsistent oxidation degree after long-term use. The three-color OLED display panel needs to be masked three times for evaporation of the three-color OLED separately. The process is complex and requires extremely high precision.

[0003] The prior art discloses a patent application for an OLED display panel and an OLED display device, with the first publication number CN111816681A, which includes an array substrate, an OLED device layer, a thin film encapsulation layer, and a color filter. The technical solution is to make a color filter layer on the OLED panel, using three RGB color sub-pixels. The color filter layer is only used to correct the color deviation problem of the OLED, but the brightness will be reduced after the color deviation caused by oxidation passes through the color filter layer, resulting in the synthesized color still having color deviation.

[0004] The prior art discloses a patent for a low-reflectivity OLED display panel, with the publication number CN219146071U. The panel includes: a substrate; an anode layer, arranged on the upper surface of the substrate; a light-emitting pixel layer, arranged on the upper surface of the anode layer; an encapsulation layer, arranged on the upper surface of the light-emitting pixel layer; a refraction layer, arranged on the upper surface of the encapsulation layer; and a color filter layer, arranged on the upper surface of the refraction layer. The color filter layer (color filter layer) of this technical solution is arranged on the surface of the OLED display panel, and the refraction layer must be a laminated oxide, resulting in a large overall thickness and not suitable for bending.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cathode layer is a combination of one or more of Ag, Al, Li, and Mg.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the encapsulation layer is an organic / inorganic laminate of at least three layers, the organic material is epoxy resin, and the inorganic material is one of SiO2, SiC, and Si3N4.

Because the light-emitting material of the OLED panel is of one kind and the oxidation rate is equal, the brightness will only decrease in the same proportion, and there will be no color deviation. Moreover, the white OLED does not require a mask for alignment, and can be directly evaporated or coated on the entire surface, which greatly reduces the process difficulty and cost.
