Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The organic light emitting diode display device includes a first flexible substrate, a second flexible substrate, a first barrier layer, a second barrier layer, an organic light emitting diode element, and a metal enclosing wall. The first barrier layer is disposed on the first flexible substrate, and the second barrier layer is disposed on the second flexible substrate. The organic light emitting diode element is disposed between the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer. The metal enclosing wall connects the first flexible substrate to the second flexible substrate and surrounds the organic light emitting diode element.
