General end-point pixel aperture ratio of its light emitting layer: 20% to 30% (the aperture ratio of the pixel defining layer of the light-emitting layer), therefore, the opening of the reflective layer 40 may be larger or smaller than the light-emitting region. The reflective layer 40 has a small aperture ratio, which is beneficial to enhancing the mirror effect, but the brightness is lost; the metal reflecting layer has large aperture opening ratio, the mirror effect is weakened, but the brightness is brighter, and basically no loss exists. Thus, the aperture ratio may be selected according to performance requirements. The shape of the opening is not limited, and may be square, circular, a shape conforming to the pixel opening region, or the like, as required.
In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the reflective layer 40 covers all of the display area of the display substrate except the light emitting areas on a plane parallel to the display substrate, i.e., all of the light emitting areas are exposed.

(9) Finally, the glass carrier 1 is peeled off to complete the preparation of the display substrate, as shown in fig. 1.
In this embodiment, the reflective layer 40 is disposed outside the light-emitting region, so that direct display in the light-emitting region (pixel opening region) is realized, and total reflection display is realized in the non-light-emitting region through the reflective layer 40, thereby improving the contrast of the display screen.
The preparation process of the embodiment can be realized by utilizing the existing mature preparation equipment, the improvement on the existing process is small, and the preparation process can be well compatible with the existing preparation process, so that the preparation process has the advantages of low manufacturing cost, easiness in process realization, high production efficiency, high yield and the like. The embodiment effectively solves the problem of low contrast caused by total reflection, has practical application value in improving the contrast of the OLED panel, and has good application prospect.
It should be noted that the structure and the manufacturing process thereof shown in this embodiment are only an exemplary illustration. In practical implementation, the corresponding structure can be changed and the patterning process can be increased or decreased according to actual needs. For example, the thin film transistor may have not only a top gate structure but also a bottom gate structure, and may have not only a double gate structure but also a single gate structure. For another example, the thin film transistor may be a Low Temperature Polysilicon (LTPS) thin film transistor or an Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) thin film transistor, and other electrodes, leads, and structural film layers may be further disposed in the driving structure layer and the light emitting structure layer. For another example, the protective layer 39 may not be provided, and so on. For another example, the reflective layer 40 may be disposed in the encapsulation layer 38, such as between an organic layer and a second inorganic layer, and so forth. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited specifically herein.
