Specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is carried out clear, complete
Site preparation description is it is clear that described embodiment is only a part of embodiment of the present invention, rather than whole embodiments.It is based on
Embodiment in the present invention, it is every other that those of ordinary skill in the art are obtained under the premise of not making creative work
Embodiment, broadly falls into the scope of protection of the invention.
As shown in Fig. 2 Fig. 2 be the OLED display with different-thickness negative electrode under different size of current, corresponding

Go out, cathode thickness isThe startup voltage ratio cathode thickness of OLED display beOLED start voltage
Greatly, but blocked up negative electrode cause light transmission be deteriorated.Because, in top-illuminating OLED structure, negative electrode is outgoing bright finish, negative electrode is needed to have
Have good light transmission, therefore, need in prior art by negative electrode do thinner, but can there is larger electricity in relatively thin negative electrode
Resistance, causes the voltage drop of negative electrode larger, thus the uneven phenomenon of display in OLED display panel.As shown in figure 3, being aobvious
Show the instance graph of panel, by FPC (abbreviation of Flexible Printed Circuit, flexible printed circuit board), current potential is passed through
Reflecting electrode RE gives to the negative electrode 7 of display floater, so that display floater is lighted, because display floater centre position produces voltage drop phase
Voltage drop for display floater periphery is larger, causes intermediate luminance less than surrounding brightness, thus occurring showing uneven showing
As.
