Problems solved by technology

[0004] The invention provides a flexible OLED display panel, which can increase the contact area between each film layer, disperse and eliminate the stress generated in the panel bending process, and solve the problem of the existing flexible display panel due to the multi-layer film layer structure. Superposition, resulting in different stress and deformation of each film layer, which in turn affects the bendability and foldability of the display panel

Abstract

A flexible OLED display panel is provided. The display panel comprises a flexible substrate, a buffer layer, a thin film transistor layer, an OLED light emitting layer and an encapsulation layer, wherein the encapsulation layer comprises a first inorganic layer, a first organic layer, a second inorganic layer and a second organic layer sequentially arranged on the OLED light emitting layer; Wherein the first inorganic layer includes a first top surface having at least two projections, the first top surface being opposite to the OLED light emitting layer. The second inorganic layer includes a second top surface having at least two projections, the second top surface facing away from the OLED light emitting layer. As that surface of each film layer is arrange in a concave-convex fit structure, the contact area between each film layer is effectively increased, and the stress generated in the bending proces of the panel is further dispersed and eliminated, thereby facilitating the bendingproperty of the OLED device to be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of display technology, in particular to a flexible OLED display panel. Background technique [0002] At present, flexible OLED display panels are usually composed of multi-layer inorganic and organic structures layer by layer. Generally, flexible OLED display panels include flexible substrates, barrier layers, buffer layers, active layers, gate insulating layers, gate electrodes, and interlayer insulation. layer, source-drain layer, planarization layer, OLED light-emitting layer, pixel definition layer, support pad, packaging layer, etc., the multi-layer stacked film structure is limited by the deformation characteristics and stress of each layer of film material. With the development of display, currently flexible display screens are widely called curved screens because they can only present a fixed curved surface, and there is a certain distance from the goal of realizing flexible screens that can be bent and folded...
