Abstract
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. A pad of the OLED display panel includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer stacked. An edge of the second metal layer protrudes from an edge of the first metal layer. An electronic functional layer covered on the second metal layer is disconnected from the electronic functional layer covered on an array structure layer, so that a cathode covers a side of the second metal layer adjacent to the array structure layer to realize an electrical connection between the cathode and the pad.
