Abstract

A mask plate for fabricating a display panel and an application thereof are provided. The mask plate is configured to vapor-deposit a metal cathode layer of the display panel and includes a first blocking region and a first opening region disposed in the first blocking region, wherein a second blocking region is disposed in the first opening region, and the second blocking region is provided with a plurality of second opening regions spaced apart from each other.

Claims (18)

1. A mask plate for fabricating an OLED display panel, wherein the mask plate is configured to deposit a metal cathode layer of the OLED display panel by vapor deposition, and the mask plate comprises a first blocking region, wherein a first opening region is provided in the first blocking region, a second blocking region connected to the first blocking region is disposed in the first opening region, and a plurality of second opening regions are provided and spaced apart from each other in the second blocking region.

2. The mask plate according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the second opening region is selected from one of a circle, a hexagon, or a quadrilateral.

3. The mask plate according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the second blocking region is selected from one of a U-shaped, a rectangle, or a semicircle.

4. The mask plate according to claim 1 , wherein a number of the second blocking regions is two or more.

5. The mask plate according to claim 1 , wherein the first blocking region is an open mask plate, and the second blocking region is a fine metal mask plate.

6. An OLED display panel, comprising:

a substrate; and

a metal cathode layer disposed on the substrate;

wherein a surface of the OLED display panel is defined with a display region and a function region connected to the display region, an electronic component is disposed under the OLED display panel and corresponding to the function region; and

wherein the function region comprises light-emitting regions and light-transmission regions, a hole array is defined in the function region and defines the light-emitting regions, and the metal cathode layer covers the display region and the light-emitting regions but does not cover the light-transmission regions.

7. The OLED display panel according to claim 6 , wherein the light-emitting regions comprise a first light-emitting region and a second light-emitting region surrounding the first light-emitting region, and a thickness of the metal cathode layer on the second light-emitting region is less than a thickness of the metal cathode layer on the first light-emitting region.

8. The OLED display panel according to claim 7 , wherein a distance between two adjacent first light-emitting regions is less than twice a width of the second light-emitting region.

9. The OLED display panel according to claim 8 , wherein a thickness of the metal cathode layer on a region where adjacent second light-emitting regions overlap each other is greater than the thickness of the metal cathode layer on the first light-emitting region.

10. The OLED display panel according to claim 7 , wherein the electronic component is a camera module or a photosensor unit.

11. A display panel, comprising:

a substrate; and

a metal cathode layer disposed on the substrate;

wherein a surface of the display panel is defined with a display region and a function region, the function region comprises light-emitting regions and light-transmission regions, the light-emitting regions form a hole array in the function region, and the metal cathode layer covers the display region and the light-emitting regions; the light-emitting regions comprise a first light-emitting region and a second light-emitting region surrounding the first light-emitting region, and a thickness of the metal cathode layer on the second light-emitting region is less than a thickness of the metal cathode layer on the first light-emitting region.
