Abstract

An embodiment of the present application discloses an OLED display device manufacturing method and an OLED display device. The method includes a first pixel definition partitioning bar forming step, a second pixel definition partitioning bar forming step, and a color ink printing step. The first pixel definition partitioning bar forming step includes forming first pixel definition partitioning bars on substrate along a first direction. the second pixel definition partitioning bar forming step includes forming second pixel definition partitioning bars on the substrate along a second direction. An overflow drainage region is defined in each of the second pixel definition partitioning bars. The present application uses the overflow drainage region to perform an overflow drainage color inks printed on the substrate in the color ink printing step to prevent an issue of the overflowing color inks has color mixing and affect a quality of the OLED display device.

Claims (16)

1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device manufacturing method, comprising:

a first pixel definition partitioning bar forming step comprising forming a plurality of first pixel definition partitioning bars on a substrate along a first direction, wherein the first pixel definition partitioning bars are spaced from one another to form a first printing region between adjacent two of the first pixel definition partitioning bars;

a second pixel definition partitioning bar forming step comprising forming a plurality of second pixel definition partitioning bars on the substrate along a second direction, wherein the second pixel definition partitioning bars are spaced from one another to form a second printing region intersecting the first printing regions between adjacent two of the second pixel definition partitioning bars, the second pixel definition partitioning bars intersectingly stacked on the first pixel definition partitioning bars, and the first pixel definition partitioning bars and second pixel definition partitioning bars commonly define a plurality of sub-pixel light emission regions arranged in an array, and each of the sub-pixel light emission regions corresponds to one of the first printing regions and one of the second printing regions, wherein an overflow drainage region is defined in each of the second pixel definition partitioning bars; and

a color ink printing step comprising printing and disposing a plurality of color inks in the sub-pixel light emission regions, wherein the color inks are located outside each of the overflow drainage regions;

wherein each of the second pixel definition partitioning bars comprises at least two sub-partitioning bars disposed parallelly and spaced from each other at an interval, the at least two sub-partitioning bars are individual elements formed independently from the first pixel definition partitioning bars, and each of the overflow drainage regions is formed between adjacent two of the sub-partitioning bars.

2. The OLED display device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein in the color ink printing step, each of the color inks is bar-like, is perpendicular to the first printing regions, is parallel to the second printing regions, is disposed in one of the second printing regions, and is disposed intersectingly in the first printing regions.

3. The OLED display device manufacturing method according to claim 2 , wherein adjacent two of the color inks are disposed on two sides of a corresponding one of the second pixel definition partitioning bars.

4. The OLED display device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the first printing regions perpendicularly intersect the second printing regions, and the sub-pixel light emission regions are arranged in an array.

5. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device, comprising:

a plurality of first pixel definition partitioning bars formed on a substrate along a first direction, wherein the first pixel definition partitioning bars are spaced from one another to form a first printing region between adjacent two of the first pixel definition partitioning bars;

a plurality of second pixel definition partitioning bars formed on the substrate along a second direction, the second pixel definition partitioning bars are spaced from one another to form a second printing region intersecting the first printing regions between adjacent two of the second pixel definition partitioning bars, the second pixel definition partitioning bars are intersectingly stacked on the first pixel definition partitioning bars, and the first pixel definition partitioning bars and second pixel definition partitioning bars commonly define a plurality of sub-pixel light emission regions arranged in an array, and each of the sub-pixel light emission regions corresponds to one of the first printing regions and one of the second printing regions, wherein an overflow drainage region is defined in each of the second pixel definition partitioning bars; and

a plurality of color inks disposed in the sub-pixel light emission regions, wherein the color inks are located outside each of the overflow drainage regions;

wherein each of the second pixel definition partitioning bars comprises at least two sub-partitioning bars disposed parallelly and spaced from each other at an interval, the at least two sub-partitioning bars are individual elements formed independently from the first pixel definition partitioning bars, and each of the overflow drainage regions is formed between adjacent two of the sub-partitioning bars.

6. The OLED display device according to claim 5 , wherein each of the color inks is bar-like, is perpendicular to the first printing regions, is parallel to the second printing regions, is disposed in one of the second printing regions, and is disposed intersectingly in the first printing regions.

7. The OLED display device according to claim 6 , wherein adjacent two of the color inks are disposed on two sides of a corresponding one of the second pixel definition partitioning bars.

8. The OLED display device according to claim 5 , wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the first printing regions perpendicularly intersect the second printing regions, and the sub-pixel light emission regions are arranged in an array.
