Abstract

The present invention provides an organic light emitting diode display panel and a display device, and relates to the field of display technology, which can solve the problem that the display contrast of an existing organic light emitting diode display panel and an existing display device is reduced due to the reflection of ambient light. In the organic light emitting diode display panel and the display device of the present invention, a light gathering unit and a light absorption layer matched with each other are arranged in pixel defining regions, so that the incident ambient light can be gathered by the light gathering unit to the light absorption layer and absorbed by the light absorption layer, to reduce ambient light outgoing from the display panel due to reflection, and increase the contrast of the display panel.

Claims (43)

1. An organic light emitting diode display panel, comprising:

a first substrate and a second substrate which are oppositely arranged, wherein the first substrate comprises a plurality of pixel regions and pixel defining regions, each of which is located between two adjacent pixel regions; each of the pixel regions includes an anode, an organic light emitting functional layer and a cathode which are arranged on the first substrate, and each of the pixel defining regions is provided with a pixel defining layer therein;

a light absorption layer matched with a position of an end face of the pixel defining layer facing the second substrate, wherein the light absorption layer is used for absorbing irradiation light; and

a light gathering unit which is matched with the light absorption layer and only provided at a position corresponding to the end surface of the pixel defining layer facing the second substrate, used for gathering the light incident on the light gathering unit from outside and irradiating the gathered light to the light absorption layer, to allow the light absorption layer to absorb the gathered light and prevent from affecting display of the pixel regions.
