Abstract

A first planarization layer, an anode lap joint later, a pixel defining layer are between the first dam and the display area; the anode lap joint layer includes a main body portion and sharp angle portions; the sharp angle portion at least includes a first side edge close to the display area; the pixel defining layer wraps a border of the anode lap joint layer and has a first groove extending from one to the other sharp angle portion. An edge of the first groove adjacent to the first side edge of the sharp angle portion is a second side edge; and an orthographic projection of the second side edge on a base substrate is in an orthographic projection of the third groove on the base substrate.
