Abstract

The present invention belongs to the technical field of display, and specifically relates to an OLED pixel structure and an OLED display device. The OLED pixel structure comprises a thin film transistor and an OLED device, the thin film transistor being provided with a driving electrode for controlling whether the OLED device emits light or not, wherein the pixel structure comprises a transmission region and a reflection region in which a reflection layer formed by extending the driving electrode is provided. The beneficial advantages are that the OLED pixel structure can effectively improve the utilization of the light source and the utilization of the display panel.

Claims (23)

1. An OLED pixel structure, comprising a thin film transistor and an OLED device, the thin film transistor being provided therein with a driving electrode for controlling whether the OLED device emits light or not,

wherein the OLED pixel structure comprises a transmission region, and a reflection region in which a reflection layer formed by extending the driving electrode is provided,

wherein the reflection layer is integrated with and disposed at a same layer as the driving electrode, and

wherein the transmission region of the OLED pixel structure is capable of transmitting ambient light, and the reflection region is capable of reflecting ambient light so that ambient light outgoes from a single side of the OLED pixel structure.

2. The OLED pixel structure of claim 1 , wherein the driving electrode comprises a gate, or a source and a drain which are provided in a same layer, the reflection layer being formed by extending the gate or the drain towards a center of the pixel structure.

3. The OLED pixel structure of claim 2 , wherein the OLED device is of top-emitting structure and comprises an anode and a cathode which are arranged opposite to each other; the reflection layer is arranged under the anode and partially overlapped with the anode in a direction of orthographic projection.
