Abstract

Provided is an organic light-emitting display panel, including: an array substrate, an organic light-emitting element arranged on the array substrate, and an encapsulation portion; the organic light-emitting element includes a reflective layer, a pixel definition layer including pixel definition parts, a light-emitting pixel layer including light-emitting pixel parts each arranged between the pixel definition parts, a cathode layer arranged on a side of the light-emitting pixel layer away from the reflective layer, and a support layer arranged between at least one pair of adjacent light-emitting pixel parts of the light-emitting pixel layer; the support layer includes a metal part and an annular organic part placed on a side of the metal part away from the array substrate; the encapsulation portion includes at least one organic encapsulation layer and at least one inorganic encapsulation layer; and the encapsulation portion covers the organic light-emitting element.

Claims (29)

1. An organic light-emitting display panel, comprising:

an array substrate;

an organic light-emitting element arranged on the array substrate, the organic light-emitting element comprising a reflective layer, a pixel definition layer comprising pixel definition parts, a light-emitting pixel layer comprising light-emitting pixel parts each arranged between the pixel definition parts, a cathode layer arranged on a side of the light-emitting pixel layer away from the reflective layer, and a support layer arranged between at least one pair of adjacent light-emitting pixel parts of the light-emitting pixel layer, the support layer comprising a metal part and an annular organic part placed on a side of the metal part away from the array substrate; and

an encapsulation portion, the encapsulation portion comprising at least one organic encapsulation layer and at least one inorganic encapsulation layer, the encapsulation portion covering the organic light-emitting element.

2. The organic light-emitting display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the metal part and the reflective layer are made in a same film layer, and the annular organic part and the pixel definition layer are made in another same film layer.

3. The organic light-emitting display panel according to claim 2 , wherein the metal part, when viewed from top toward the array substrate, is shaped like a rectangle, a square, a rhombus, a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, or any combination thereof.

4. The organic light-emitting display panel according to claim 2 , wherein a height of the support layer is 0.3 μm-1.2 μm greater than a height of the pixel definition layer.

5. The organic light-emitting display panel according to claim 4 , wherein a width of the annular organic part is 0.2 μm-1 μm.

6. The organic light-emitting display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the array substrate comprises an underlay, an array layer placed on the underlay, and a planarization layer located on a side of the array layer away from the underlay.

7. The organic light-emitting display panel according to claim 6 , wherein the underlay is a flexible underlay.

8. The organic light-emitting display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective layer comprises a reflective metal part and a transparent conduction part.

9. The organic light-emitting display panel according to claim 8 , wherein the reflective metal part comprises a material selected from a group consisting of silver, nickel, ytterbium, molybdenum, aluminum, and combinations thereof, and the transparent conduction part comprises indium tin oxide or tin oxide.

10. The organic light-emitting display panel according to claim 8 , wherein the reflective layer is an indium tin oxide-silver-indium tin oxide stack structure.

11. The organic light-emitting display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the metal part comprises a material selected from a group consisting of silver, nickel, ytterbium, molybdenum, aluminum, and combinations thereof.

12. An organic light-emitting display device, comprising an organic light-emitting display panel, wherein the organic light-emitting display panel comprises:
