Abstract

The present invention relates to a display technology field, in specifically, to a method for manufacturing an OLED. The organic material film and inorganic material film are formed on the upper surface of the OLED devices, the inorganic material film covers over the organic material film to absorb the stress, and a protective layer is formed on the inorganic material film in prior to the cutting procedure to protect the encapsulated film from scratching and crushing, so that the mechanical strength of the whole OLED devices is increased, the quality of the display is improved.

Claims (18)

1. A method for manufacturing OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) devices, comprising:

providing an array substrate, a surface of the substrate being provided with a plurality of display device unit areas and a cutting area configured to isolate adjacent display device unit areas;

forming a plurality of OLED units, on each portion of the array substrate that is located in the display device unit areas, one of the plurality of OLED units being provided;

manufacturing a first inorganic film to cover surfaces of the plurality of OLED units, and partial surface of the array substrate adjacent to the OLED units, to seal the plurality of OLED units onto the array substrate;

forming an organic film to cover an upper surface of the first inorganic film;

manufacturing a second inorganic film to cover exposed surfaces of the organic film and exposed surfaces of the first inorganic film, and the second inorganic film also covering exposed surfaces of the array substrate;

forming a protective layer on the second inorganic film to cover an upper surface of the second inorganic film;

implementing a cutting procedure at the cutting area to separate the plurality of display device unit areas, to form the OLED devices; and

removing the protective layer and forming a polarizer film on the second inorganic film.

2. The method for manufacturing OLED devices as disclosed in claim 1 , wherein after the cutting procedure and before the step of forming a polarizer film, the method further comprises a step of forming a touch layer on the second inorganic film.

3. The method for manufacturing OLED devices as disclosed in claim 1 , further comprises forming a touch layer on the polarizer film.

4. The method for manufacturing OLED devices as disclosed in claim 1 , wherein the first inorganic film and the second inorganic film are formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD).

5. The method for manufacturing OLED devices as disclosed in claim 1 , wherein the organic film is formed by ink-jet print, evaporation or CVD.

6. The method for manufacturing OLED devices as disclosed in claim 1 , wherein the protection layer is a polarizer film or a layer made of optically clear adhesive.

7. The method for manufacturing OLED devices as disclosed in claim 1 , wherein the protection layer comprises a polarizer film and a touch layer;

the touch layer is formed on the polarizer film, or between the second inorganic film and the polarizer film.

8. The method for manufacturing OLED devices as disclosed in claim 1 , wherein the protection layer is formed and attached onto the second inorganic film by optically clear adhesive or static.

9. The method for manufacturing OLED devices as disclosed in claim 1 , wherein the cutting procedure is laser cut or wheel cut.
