Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the OLED display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a transparent substrate 1, and a plurality of first pixel repeating units 100 and a plurality of second pixel repeating units 200 disposed on the transparent substrate 1, where the plurality of first pixel repeating units 100 and the plurality of second pixel repeating units 200 are distributed on the transparent substrate 1 at intervals;
the first pixel repeating unit 100 includes at least one OLED light emitting unit for emitting light in a direction away from the transparent substrate 1;
the second pixel repeating unit 200 includes at least one OLED light emitting unit for emitting light in a direction away from the transparent substrate 1, and also for emitting light in a direction toward the transparent substrate 1, and the emitted light can penetrate through the transparent substrate 1.
With the OLED display panel of this embodiment structure, the plurality of first pixel repeating units 100 and the plurality of second pixel repeating units 200 fabricated on the transparent substrate 1 are each capable of emitting light in a direction away from the transparent substrate 1, and thus image display in a forward direction (a direction toward the transparent substrate 1) of the transparent substrate 1 is achieved by the combination of the plurality of first pixel repeating units 100 and the plurality of second pixel repeating units 200; since the plurality of second pixel repeating units 200 can emit light in a direction toward the transparent substrate, image display in a reverse direction (a direction away from the transparent substrate 1) of the transparent substrate 1 can be realized by the plurality of second pixel repeating units 200. Therefore, with the implementation structure, the OLED display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention can implement double-sided image display by using a plurality of pixel structures disposed on the same transparent substrate.
Alternatively, the transparent substrate 1 is one of a glass substrate and a flexible substrate.
The OLED display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention can manufacture a plurality of first pixel repeating units 100 and a plurality of second pixel repeating units 200 on the same transparent substrate 1 to implement double-sided display, and compared with a conventional double-sided display structure, one display panel can be reduced, so that the requirements of light weight, thinness, and cost reduction can be satisfied.
Alternatively, the OLED light emitting unit in the first pixel repeating unit 100 includes a top-emission type OLED light emitting device, and the OLED light emitting unit in the second pixel repeating unit 200 includes a dual-emission type OLED light emitting device.
In the OLED display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention, the OLED light emitting units in the first pixel repeating unit 100 and the second pixel repeating unit 200 respectively include an OLED light emitting device and a thin film transistor, where the thin film transistor is used for driving the OLED light emitting device to emit light for image display.

The light-emitting layer can emit light by a voltage difference between the anode and the cathode. In the embodiment of the invention, the anode and the cathode in the OLED light-emitting unit are made of light-transmitting materials or light-reflecting materials, so that the emergent direction of light emitted by the light-emitting layer is controlled, and the image display of the OLED display panel on two surfaces is realized.
As shown in fig. 1, the first pixel repeating unit 100 includes at least two first OLED light emitting units including a top-emission type OLED light emitting device, and specifically, the first OLED light emitting unit includes a first anode 111, a first light emitting layer 112, and a first cathode 113, which are sequentially disposed from a direction close to the transparent substrate 1 to a direction far from the transparent substrate 1; wherein the first anode 111 is made of a light-reflecting anode material, such as a stacked material of ITO/Ag/ITO, and the first cathode 113 is made of a light-transmitting cathode material, i.e., the first cathode 113 is a transparent electrode, such as a material including at least one of Mg and Ag, and is formed as a top-emission OLED light emitting device for emitting light in a direction away from the transparent substrate 1.
The second pixel repeating unit 200 includes at least two second OLED light emitting units including a dual emission type OLED light emitting device therein.

In this way, light emitted from the second light emitting layer 212 can be transmitted in both directions, and is emitted through the second anode 211 and the second cathode 213, respectively, to form a bidirectional emission type OLED light emitting device, which emits light in a direction away from the transparent substrate 1, and also emits light in a direction toward the transparent substrate 1.
With the above-described structure, the first anode 111 and the second anode 211 are made of different materials in the same layer, the first light-emitting layer 112 and the second light-emitting layer 212, and the first cathode 113 and the second cathode 213 are made of the same material in the same layer, and the first cathode 113, the second anode 211, and the second cathode 213 are all transparent electrodes.

The second OED light emitting unit includes a second thin film transistor, and particularly, the second thin film transistor includes a second active layer 214, a second gate electrode 215, and a second source/drain electrode 216 from a direction close to the transparent substrate 1 to a direction far from the transparent substrate 1, wherein the second source/drain electrode 216 is connected to the second anode electrode 211.

In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, in the first pixel repeating unit 100, an orthogonal projection of the first light emitting layer 112 on a plane where the first source/drain 116 is located overlaps with the first source/drain 116. By making the arrangement range of the first source/drain 116 correspond to the arrangement range of the first light-emitting layer 112, a light shielding effect is achieved at a side of the first light-emitting layer 112 close to the transparent substrate 1, and light emitted by the first light-emitting layer 112 is prevented from being emitted from the side of the transparent substrate 1, which causes light leakage.
