Abstract

A display substrate and an OLED display device, the display substrate including a water absorbing structure disposed on the display substrate that is configured to be capable of absorbing moisture in the display substrate. In the embodiments of the present invention, by providing a water absorbing structure in the display substrate, it is possible to protect the organic luminescent unit from moisture released in the process of manufacturing and operating the display substrate, enhance the performance of the OLED display device and prolong the service life of the OLED display device.

Claims

1. A display substrate, comprising a water absorbing structure, the water absorbing structure being configured to be capable of absorbing moisture in the display substrate, wherein the water absorbing structure is formed by a pixel definition layer of the display substrate, the pixel definition layer contains a desiccant, the desiccant comprises nanometer silica gel particles, and a size of the nanometer silica gel particles is from 1 nm to 100 nm,

the display substrate further comprising:

a substrate;

a buffer layer and a polysilicon layer, formed on the substrate;

an insulating layer, covering the polysilicon layer;

a gate electrode and a gate insulating layer, formed on the insulating layer;

a source/drain electrode, formed on the gate insulating layer;

a protection layer, covering the source/drain electrode;

a reflective anode, formed on the protection layer;

an organic luminescent unit, wherein the organic luminescent unit and the pixel definition layer are on a side of the reflective anode away from the protection layer, and wherein the organic luminescent unit is surrounded by the pixel definition layer; and

a spacer, on a side of the pixel definition layer away from the reflective anode and in direct contact with the pixel definition layer, wherein the spacer is configured to space the display substrate and an opposite substrate.

2. The display substrate of claim 1, wherein a volume concentration of the desiccant is from 1% to 8%.

3. An organic light-emitting diode display device, comprising the display substrate of claim 2.

4. An organic light-emitting diode display device, comprising the display substrate of claim 1.
