The inorganic packaging layer can play a role in isolating water and oxygen, so that the water and oxygen cannot penetrate through the inorganic packaging layer to invade the display area from the upper part of the isolation column. The light emitting functional layer 22 may include an organic functional layer and a cathode sequentially disposed on the flattening layer 32. Under the action of the isolation columns 31, the light-emitting functional layer 22 is disconnected on two sides of the isolation columns 31, so that water and oxygen are prevented from invading the display area through the side walls of the mounting holes.

In addition, the light-emitting functional layer 22 is disposed between the isolation layer 33 and the inorganic sealing layer, and the isolation layer 33 is usually made of inorganic materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride, so that water and oxygen can be prevented from entering from the upper and lower sides of the light-emitting functional layer 22, and further water and oxygen can be prevented from entering the OLED.

The spacer 31 is disposed around the mounting hole. The structure of the isolation pillars may be formed using a conventional technique in the art, and will not be described in detail herein.

In a preferred embodiment, the isolation pillars and the substrate layer are made of the same type of material, for example, the isolation pillars and the substrate layer are made of organic material, inorganic material, metal oxide material, or the like. When the isolation pillars and the substrate layer are made of organic materials, the isolation pillars and the substrate layer are made of organic materials with opposite illumination performance, for example, the substrate layer is made of positive photoresist, and the isolation pillars are made of negative photoresist.
S15: and forming gentle layers which are positioned on the isolation column and positioned at two sides of the isolation column in the packaging region. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
s151: the substrate 20 on which the isolation pillars are formed is coated with a gentle solution 32', as shown in fig. 5d-1, and fig. 5d-1 is a schematic structural view of the display panel after the gentle solution is formed. The upper surface of the mild solution 32' may be slightly higher than the upper surface of the isolation column 31, or may be lower than or equal to the upper surface of the isolation column 31, which is not specifically limited herein, as long as the mild solution is lower than the upper surface of the isolation column after being solidified into a film.

It is easily understood that, in this process, the gentle film at the position of the mounting hole may also be removed, and the gentle layer 32 located at the encapsulation area is directly formed; or, the gentle solution at the packaging area and the mounting hole is reserved, after the solution is solidified to form a film, the gentle film is positioned at the packaging area and the mounting hole, and the gentle film at the mounting hole is removed together when the mounting hole is formed subsequently, so that a gentle layer positioned in the packaging area is formed.

In the process of curing the solution to form the film, the curing temperature can be a constant temperature lower than the boiling point of the solvent or a temperature with gradient rise.
In the process of curing the mild solution into a film, the solvent in the mild solution volatilizes, so that the solute shrinks from the edge to the middle, and thus, in the process of curing the mild solution at the two sides of the isolation column 31, the solute shrinks from the edge close to the isolation column toward the direction far away from the isolation column, so that the two sides of the isolation column 31 form a high polymer film with thick edge and thin middle, namely the mild layer 32. Therefore, the gentle layer is formed to include the filling portion 321 contacting the sidewall of the isolation pillar 31 and the flat portion 322 located at the center and connected to the filling portion 321. The upper surface of the filling part 321 is in a climbing structure from a position far away from the isolation column 31 to a position close to the isolation column 31, the upper surface of the flat part 322 is a flat surface, and the upper surface of the flat part 322 is smoothly connected with the upper surface of the filling part 321.

It is to be understood that the spacer film located at the mounting hole may be removed together when the spacer film is subjected to the patterning process.

S17: a light emitting functional layer is formed, which may include an organic functional layer and a cathode. The method specifically comprises the following steps: an organic functional material and a cathode metal film are sequentially deposited on the substrate forming the aforementioned structure to form a light-emitting functional layer 22 (generally including an organic functional layer and a cathode), as shown in fig. 5f, fig. 5f is a schematic structural diagram of the display panel after the light-emitting functional layer is formed. It will be readily appreciated that the organic functional layer and the cathode may be formed by means commonly used in the art, such as evaporation, and the light-emitting functional layer 22 (organic functional layer and cathode) is spread over the surface of the substrate, as shown in fig. 5 f. In the packaging area, as the isolation column 31 is arranged in the packaging area, and the isolation column 31 has the characteristic of being wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, the isolation column 31 can enable the light-emitting function layer 22 to be broken at the side wall of the isolation column, one part of the light-emitting function layer 22 is positioned on the isolation layer 33 at the upper end of the isolation column 31, the other part of the light-emitting function layer 22 is positioned on the isolation layers 33 at the two sides of the isolation column 31, so that the light-emitting function layer 22 is completely broken in the packaging area, the light-emitting function layer 22 is isolated between the display area and the mounting hole, water and oxygen are prevented from entering the light-emitting function layer from the side wall of the mounting hole, and the service life of the OLED device is prolonged.
Among them, the light emitting functional layer may include an organic functional layer mainly including an emission layer (EML) and a cathode. In practical implementation, the organic functional layer may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer, which are sequentially disposed, to improve efficiency of injecting electrons and holes into the light emitting layer, and the cathode may be made of one of metal materials such as magnesium Mg, silver Ag, aluminum Al, copper Cu, lithium Li, or an alloy of the above metals.
