Abstract

An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel is provided. The OLED display panel comprises a substrate, inorganic layers, organic layers, a light emitting layer, an encapsulation layer, and a via hole. The via hole is extended through the inorganic layers and the organic layers. The via hole is in a blocking wall area. A side wall of the via hole includes at least one recess. The light emitting layer is discontinuous at the at least one recess. By forming the deep via hole between a through hole area and a display area and also by forming the recess in the side wall of the via hole, continuity of the organic light emitting layer to the through hole area is interrupted, so that the display area is prevented from being entered by water and oxygen.

Claims (27)

1. An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, having a blocking wall area defined between a through hole area and a display area, the OLED display panel comprising:

a substrate;

multiple inorganic layers disposed on the substrate;

multiple organic layers disposed on the inorganic layers;

a light emitting layer disposed on the organic layers;

an encapsulation layer disposed on the light emitting layer; and

a via hole extended through the inorganic layers and the organic layers;

wherein the via hole is defined in the blocking wall area, the blocking wall area is a ring-shaped structure surrounding the through hole area, a side wall of the via hole comprises two recesses at two opposite sides of the side wall, two openings of the two recesses face each other, the light emitting layer is discontinuous at the two recesses, a width of each of the recesses along a direction perpendicular to a thickness direction of the substrate is greater than a thickness of the light emitting layer, the encapsulation layer covers the light emitting layer, and the encapsulation layer fills the two recesses completely.

2. The OLED display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic layers comprise a buffer layer, a gate electrode insulating layer, and an interlayer insulating layer sequentially disposed in a direction away from the substrate.

3. The OLED display panel according to claim 2 , wherein the organic layers comprise a planarization layer and a pixel defining layer sequentially disposed in a direction away from the substrate.

4. The OLED display panel according to claim 3 , wherein each of the recesses is disposed between the interlayer insulating layer and the gate electrode insulating layer.

5. The OLED display panel according to claim 3 , wherein each of the recesses is disposed between the interlayer insulating layer and the planarization layer.

6. An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display pane, having a blocking wall area defined between a through hole area and a display area, the OLED display panel comprising:

a substrate;

multiple inorganic layers disposed on the substrate;

multiple organic layers disposed on the inorganic layers;

a light emitting layer disposed on the organic layers;

an encapsulation layer disposed on the light emitting layer; and

a via hole extended through the inorganic layers and the organic layers, wherein the via hole is defined in the blocking wall area, the blocking wall area is a ring-shaped structure surrounding the through hole area, a side wall of the via hole comprises two recesses at two opposite sides of the side wall, two openings of the two recesses face each other, and the light emitting layer is discontinuous at the two recesses.

7. The OLED display panel according to claim 6 , wherein a width of each of the recesses along a direction perpendicular to a thickness direction of the substrate is greater than a thickness of the light emitting layer.

8. The OLED display panel according to claim 6 , wherein the encapsulation layer covers the light emitting layer, and the encapsulation layer completely fills the two recesses.

9. The OLED display panel according to claim 6 , wherein the inorganic layers comprise a buffer layer, a gate electrode insulating layer, and an interlayer insulating layer sequentially disposed in a direction away from the substrate.

10. The OLED display panel according to claim 9 , wherein the organic layers sequentially comprise a planarization layer and a pixel defining layer sequentially disposed in a direction away from the substrate.

11. The OLED display panel according to claim 10 , wherein each of the recesses is disposed between the interlayer insulating layer and the gate electrode insulating layer.

12. The OLED display panel according to claim 10 , wherein each of the recesses is disposed between the interlayer insulating layer and the planarization layer.

13. The OLED display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the blocking wall area is configured to space a boundary of the through hole area from a boundary of the display area, and the through hole area is configured to install a camera.

14. The OLED display panel according to claim 6 , wherein the blocking wall area is configured to space a boundary of the through hole area from a boundary of the display area, and the through hole area is configured to install a camera.
