Abstract

The invention provides an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel and a display device. Metal wiring is designed into a first metal layer and a second metal layer. The first metal layer is distributed on an edge of a display area and a bending area, the second metal layer is positioned in the bending area, and the second metal layer is disposed opposite to the first metal layer. A part of the first metal layer positioned in the bending area is electrically connected in parallel or in series with the second metal layer to form a double-layer wiring or a double-layer wiring exchange structure. After any one of the metal layers breaks, the other metal layer can still be used to maintain signal transmission.

Claims (12)

1. An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, comprising:

a substrate, a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer disposed on one side of the substrate, a light-emitting layer disposed on the TFT layer, and an encapsulation layer covering the light-emitting layer, wherein the OLED display panel comprises a display area and a bending area positioned on one side of the display area;

wherein a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and a dielectric layer between the first metal layer and the second metal layer are disposed on the TFT layer corresponding to the bending area, and a partial region of the first metal layer is electrically connected to the second metal layer;

wherein the display area close to the bending area is provided with a first connection block and a second connection block, the first connection block and the second connection block are both electrically connected to the first metal layer, and wherein the first connection block and a first gate are positioned in a same layer, and the second connection block and a second gate are positioned in a same layer.

2. The OLED display panel according to claim 1 , wherein a counterbore is disposed between the first metal layer and the substrate, and the counterbore is filled with an organic insulating material.

3. The OLED display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the second metal layer is disposed opposite to the first metal layer, and the second metal layer is electrically connected to the first metal layer through a via-hole in the dielectric layer.

4. The OLED display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal layer comprises a plurality of first sub-metal layers disposed separately, the second metal layer comprises a plurality of second sub-metal layers disposed separately, each of the second sub-metal layers is respectively opposite to an interval between correspondingly adjacent first sub-metal layers, and each of the second sub-metal layers is respectively electrically connected to the correspondingly adjacent first sub-metal layers through a via-hole in the dielectric layer.

5. The OLED display panel according to claim 3 , wherein the first metal layer and a source/drain of the display area are positioned in a same layer, the second metal layer and a second gate or a first gate of the display area are positioned in a same layer, and the dielectric layer is an organic insulating material.

6. The OLED display panel according to claim 3 , wherein the first metal layer and the source/drain are positioned in a same layer, the second metal layer and an anode of the display area are positioned in a same layer, and the dielectric layer is a planarization layer.

7. The OLED display panel according to claim 3 , wherein the first metal layer and a first gate are positioned in a same layer, the second metal layer and a second gate are positioned in a same layer, and the dielectric layer is an organic insulating material.

8. The OLED display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal layer is disposed on a neutral plane with minimal bending stress when bending, formed by the substrate and the encapsulation layer in the bending area.

9. A display device, comprising the OLED display panel according to claim 1 .
