The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and in particular, to an organic light emitting diode display panel.
At present, a cathode of an organic light emitting diode light emitting device is a full surface metal. In order to increase transmittance of light, the cathode layer needs to be made as thin as possible. However, the thinner the cathode layer, the larger the resistance. When energizing the cathode layer from an edge of a display panel, a voltage drop (IR drop) will gradually increase from the edge of the display panel to the middle thereof.
After the display panel is lit, a phenomenon that the edge of the display panel is bright but the middle thereof is dark will occur.

The invention adds cathode auxiliary wires on a side of the color filter substrate, and contacts the cathode auxiliary wires with the cathode layer of the OLED display panel after the display panel is bonded.
