In the embodiment of the invention, the light-shielding layer 202 is prepared by adopting the black light-resistant material on the glass substrate, on one hand, because the light-shielding layer 202 is not made of a metal material, a signal is not required to be connected, and a special hole forming process is not required to be carried out on the buffer layer 203, and meanwhile, because the width of the semiconductor layer 204 is smaller than that of the first light-shielding region 2021 in the light-shielding layer 202, the semiconductor layer 204 of the channel is protected from being irradiated by light, so that the thickness of the planarization layer 211 can be reduced, the accuracy of an exposure process is improved, and the.
Further, the light-shielding layer 202 further includes a second light-shielding region 2022, and the second light-shielding region 2022 is located below the pixel opening region of the pixel defining layer 213. The pixel opening region of the pixel defining layer 213 corresponds to the recessed portion of the light emitting region of the OLED backplane, and the recessed portion of the light emitting region of the OLED backplane also has a light shielding layer pattern (a second light shielding region 2022), so as to further avoid light irradiation and improve the accuracy of the exposure process.
Further, the thickness of the light-shielding layer 202 is 0.5 to 4 μm. Preferably, the thickness of the shading layer can be set to be 0.8-3 μm. Correspondingly, the first light-shielding region and the second light-shielding region may be uniform in thickness with the light-shielding layer.
Further, the planarization layer 211 has a thickness of 0.5 to 2 μm. Compared with the prior art, the flatness of the OLED light emitting area is greatly reduced, namely, the flatness of the OLED light emitting area is improved and the degree of concave-convex is reduced because the light shielding layer is arranged, so that the PLN (Planarization layer) does not need too thick photoresist material.
Further, the semiconductor layer 204 is an N-ion conductor layer.
