Abstract

A manufacturing method of a patterned quantum dot light-emitting layer includes: forming a sacrificial layer on a side of a base substrate, wherein the sacrificial layer includes a first component and a second component mixed in the first component; forming a patterned photoresist layer on a side of the sacrificial layer facing away from the base substrate; etching the sacrificial layer by taking the patterned photoresist layer as a mask to form a patterned sacrificial layer; forming a quantum dot film layer on a side of the photoresist layer facing away from the sacrificial layer; making the second component decompose under the preset condition to produce the bubbles, to make the first component form the porous structure; and forming the patterned quantum dot light-emitting layer by removing the photoresist layer, the sacrificial layer and the quantum dot film layer attached to the sacrificial layer, by dissolution via a solvent.
