Abstract

The present disclosure provides an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel including a thin film transistor (TFT) layer, a planarization layer, a plurality of anodes, and a touch control module that are sequentially formed on the substrate. The touch control module is positioned in a gap between any two adjacent anodes. The display panel further includes a pixel defining layer disposed at least at two sides of the touch control module, wherein the pixel defining layer in combination with the touch control module defines a pixel area; a light-emitting layer disposed on the anodes to correspond to the pixel area; and a plurality of cathodes, arranged in an array, on the light-emitting layer. The touch control module is positioned in a gap between any two adjacent cathodes.
