Abstract

An OLED device encapsulating structure used to encapsulate an OLED is disclosed. The OLED device encapsulating structure includes a substrate, a barrier layer formed on the substrate, a surface active layer disposed on the barrier layer, and a buffer layer stacked on the surface active layer. An orthogonal projection of the buffer layer onto the barrier layer may coincide with that of the surface active layer onto the barrier layer. A composite layer may further be stacked on the buffer layer. An OLED device and a display screen are also disclosed.

Claims (26)

1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) device encapsulating structure configured to encapsulate an OLED, comprising:

a substrate;
