Therefore, the OLED display panel needs to be tightly packaged, and the packaging structure needs to be verified.
The existing verification method comprises the following steps: the packaged OLED display panel works in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, and the lighting and defect conditions of OLED devices under different environmental conditions are recorded. The cost of this verification method is relatively high due to the high cost of organic light emitting materials. Meanwhile, the light-up condition of the OLED device cannot be influenced by the invasion of trace water and oxygen, so that the detection method can easily ignore the tiny invasion path of the water and oxygen. In addition, this method cannot acquire the invasion path of water and oxygen, so that a targeted improvement cannot be taken.
In view of the foregoing, it is desirable to provide a more economical and efficient method for verifying the sealing condition of the display panel.
