The present disclosure relates to the technical field of displays, and in particular, to an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel and an OLED display device.
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are widely used in the display field due to advantages of high brightness, self-luminance, fast response times, and low driving voltages. Red, green and blue organic light-emitting diodes in the OLED display panel are arranged side by side as a light-emitting layer, and electron transport material is disposed on the light-emitting layer. The electron transport material transports electrons, thereby causing the light-emitting layer to emit light.

At least one interface layer is disposed between the light-emitting layer and the light-emitting functional layer, and the interface layer is configured to enhance electron transport efficiency. By providing the interface layer between the light-emitting layer and the common electrode layer, the interface layer enhances the efficiency of electron transport, thereby increasing the electron transport efficiency when electrons are transported from the common electrode layer to the light-emitting layer. The effect of injection of electrons into the light-emitting layer is improved, so that the light-emitting layer has an improved light-emitting effect to enhance display effect and to solve the technical problem of the poor display effect of the current OLED display panel resulting from the poor effect of injection of electrons into the light-emitting layer.

In one embodiment, the interface layer is disposed between the electron transporting layer and the light-emitting layer. That is, by providing an interface layer between the electron transporting layer and the light-emitting layer, the contact between the electron transporting layer and the light-emitting layer is improved, thereby increasing the effect of injection of electrons from the electron transporting layer into the light-emitting layer.

In one embodiment, the first interface layer has a thickness of less than 20 nm.
In one embodiment, material of the first interface layer is different from that of the second interface layer. The materials of the first interface layer and the second interface layer may be considered based on performance of the common electrode layer and the electron transporting layer, and performance of the electron transporting layer and the light-emitting layer, so that the material of the first interface layer and the material of the second interface layer may be selected separately. Accordingly, the material of the first interface layer achieves the effect of improving the electron transport from the electron transporting layer to the light-emitting layer, and the material of the second interface layer achieves the effect of improving the electron transport from the common electrode layer to the electron transporting layer.
In one embodiment, the material of the first interface layer includes metal, organic compound doped with metal, or inorganic dopant. When the material of the first interface layer is selected, metal material, such as barium, lithium, and ytterbium, may be selected as the material of the first interface layer.

With the stacked structure of the first interface layer, a single layer in the first interface layer that is in contact with the electron transporting layer has an improved effect of receiving electrons from the electron transporting layer when the electrons from the first interface layer are transported from the electron transporting layer to the light-emitting layer. A single layer in the second interface layer that is in contact with the light-emitting layer has an improved effect of electron transport to the light-emitting layer. The electron transport effect reaches an improved state in the process of electron transport from the electron transporting layer to the light-emitting layer with the improved effect of electron transport between the two single layers.
