  • Patent number: 11296153
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an organic light emitting diode pixel structure and an organic light emitting diode display panel including the same. The organic light emitting diode pixel structure includes a driving circuit layer, a light emitting function layer, and a color resist layer. The driving circuit layer includes pixel driving circuits. The color resist layer includes color resists arranged in an array. The pixel driving circuits are disposed in interval regions outside long sides of the color resists. Because size of the pixel driving circuits is much larger than a width of traces, each width between adjacent pixels is increased. This avoids light leakage caused by pixel intervals being too small.
