A gap is existed between the blue light-emitting layer 30 and the color conversion layer 40. A blue light emitted from the blue light-emitting layer 30 enters the color conversion layer 40, and emitted out from the second substrate 20 after being excited to a corresponding color by the color conversion layer 40.

(9) The color conversion layer 40 includes multiple sub-conversion units 400 arranged as a matrix. Every two adjacent sub-conversion units 400 are disposed separately, and light colors of adjacent two sub-conversion units 400 after being excited by a blue light are different. Each sub-pixel unit 400 corresponds to one sub-pixel. The sub-conversion units 400 include a red conversion unit 40R, a green conversion unit 40G and a blue conversion unit 40B. the three sub-conversion units 400 are arranged alternately, periodically and regularly such as a red conversion unit 40R, a green conversion unit 40G, a blue conversion unit 40B, a red conversion unit 40R, a green conversion unit 40G, a blue conversion unit 40B . . . , in a gap between every adjacent two sub-conversion units 400, the spacer plate 50 is provided. The multiple spacer plates 50 are vertically disposed between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 simultaneously. Two terminals of each spacer plate 50 are respectively extended and abutted to the inner surface of the second substrate 20 and the inner surface of the blue light-emitting layer 30.

(10) Though above arrangement, every four spacer plates 50, the blue light-emitting layer 30 and the second substrate 20 are surrounded as a closed cavity structure. Each sub-conversion unit 400 is located in one of the cavity structure such that a blue light emitted from the blue light-emitting layer between the spacer plates 50 can only emit to a sub-conversion unit 400 right opposite to it without emitting to the other sub-conversion units 400 by passing through the spacer plate 50. Accordingly, a light interference of lights excited by the blue light between adjacent sub-pixels can be avoided in order to ensure a display contrast ratio. Besides, when the surface of the spacer plate 50 is a reflective surface, the blue light emitted to each sub-conversion unit 400 is utilized after being gathered and converged in order to increase the light utilization rate.

(11) It can be understood that the number of spacer plates 50 in each sub-conversion unit 400 is not limited to four, and can be another quantity. For example, all of the spacer plates 50 can be formed integrally, or multiple spacer plates 50 are formed integrally. The only requirement is to block a periphery of each sub-conversion unit 400.

(12) Besides, when the surface of the spacer plate 50 is a reflective surface, the spacer plate 50 does not have to be completely perpendicular to the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20. The first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 do not have to be completely right opposite, and staggers with a certain of width. The only requirement is that the spacer plate 50, the blue light-emitting layer 30 and the second substrate 20 can surround as a closed cavity structure, and each sub-conversion unit 400 is located in one of the cavity structure. Each sub-conversion unit 400 and a portion of the blue light-emitting layer 30 are located in a same cavity structure. A portion of the blue light that cannot directly enter a corresponding sub-conversion unit 400 can be reflected and converged by surrounding spacer plate 50 to the sub-conversion unit 400 in the cavity structure in order to realize a similar effect. An appearance of this type of the OLED display device does not have to be a regular cube structure, and can be applied in a certain specific field.

Embodiment 2

(13) With reference to FIG. 2, the difference between the present embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the blue light-emitting layer 30 of present embodiment includes brick-shaped sub light-emitting unit 300 arranged as a matrix. A certain distance is existed between every two sub light-emitting units 300. Each sub light-emitting unit 300 is right opposite to one sub-conversion unit 400. One terminal of the spacer plate 50 abuts the second substrate 20, and the other terminal of the spacer plate 50 abuts the first substrate 10 after passing through a space between two sub light-emitting units 300.

(14) In the present embodiment, every four spacer plates 50 respectively abut to the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 in order to be surrounded as a closed cavity structure. Each cavity structure has one sub-conversion unit 400 and one sub light-emitting unit 300. A portion of light emitted from the sub light-emitting unit 300 directly enters a sub-conversion unit 40 right opposite to the sub light-emitting unit 300, the other portion of light emitted from the sub light-emitting unit 300 converges to the sub-conversion unit 400 after being reflected by the spacer plate 50 several times.

(15) Comparing to the embodiment 1, the spacer plate 50 of the OLED display device of the present embodiment does not directly contact with the blue light-emitting layer 30 so as to avoid damaging the blue light-emitting layer 30. The sub light-emitting unit 300 disposed independently corresponds to a corresponding sub-conversion unit 400, the light convergence effect is better so as to be beneficial to increase the contrast ratio of the display device. The spacer plate 50 is directly fixed on the surface of the first substrate 10 so that a manufacturing process of the OLED display device is simpler. Besides, the gap between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 can be limited by the spacer plate 50 in order to omit the trouble to adjust the gap between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20.

Embodiment 3

(16) As shown in FIG. 3, comparing with embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, the structure of each spacer plate 50 of the present embodiment is slightly different.

(17) Specifically, each spacer plate 50 includes an upper portion 51 and a lower portion 52 disposed oppositely and separately. A surface of each of the upper portion 51 and the lower portion 52 can be a reflective surface, or not a reflective surface only for blocking a light. The upper portion 51 is extended to a space between adjacent two sub-conversion units 400, and is fixed at an inner surface of the second substrate 20. A height of the upper portion 51 is greater than a thickness of the color conversion layer 40 such that a free end of the upper portion 51 is closer to the first substrate 10 comparing to the color conversion layer 40. Most of the light reflected by the lower portion 52 is blocked by the upper portion 51. The lower portion 52 abuts the blue light-emitting layer 30 or the first substrate 10, and is fixed on the blue light-emitting layer 30 or the first substrate 10. Using the structure of the spacer plate 50 by the above way, a gap between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 can be adjusted according to an actual requirement. Most of the light emitted from the blue light-emitting layer 30 enters a corresponding sub-conversion unit 400 in order to avoid an interference of lights excited by the blue light between adjacent sub-pixels

Embodiment 4

(18) As shown in FIG. 4, the difference between the present embodiment and the above embodiments is: a surface of the lower portion 52 of the spacer plate 50 of the present embodiment is a parabolic surface having a concave structure and a reflective function. A focus of the surface of the lower portion 52 is located on the blue light-emitting layer 30 such that a blue light reflected by the parabolic surface vertically emits to a sub-conversion unit 400 in front of the parabolic surface in a basically parallel manner That is, most of the light emitted from the blue light-emitting layer 30 is perpendicular to the color conversion layer 40. Comparing to the embodiment 3, the spacer plate 50 of the present embodiment can omit the upper portion 51 and can avoid an interference of lights excited by the blue light between adjacent sub-pixels and increase the light utilization rate at the same time.

(19) In summary, using the spacer plate disposed between two substrates of the organic light-emitting display device to block interference of the lights of the blue light at sub-conversion units having different colors excited by the blue light in order to increase the contrast ratio of the display device.
