Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The OLED display panel includes a double-layer polyimide flexible layer, a thin film transistor driving layer, an OLED light emitting layer, and a thin film encapsulation layer. The double-layer polyimide flexible layer includes a glass substrate, a wetting layer, a polyimide flexible layer, and an inorganic silicon nitride layer. The wetting layer converts the glass substrate or the inorganic silicon nitride layer from hydrophilic to hydrophobic.
