Abstract

The disclosure relates to the field of OLED display technology, more particularly, to an OLED display panel and a manufacturing method thereof, during the manufacturing process of the OLED display panel, by forming a low gray color shift adjustment layer between the anode and the OLED device layer, and/or between the OLED device layer and the cathode, so as to solve the color shift problem under low gray-scale by adjusting thickness or doping concentration of the low gray color shift adjustment layer, and improve the accuracy of emitting color of the OLED panel.

Claims (37)
