An OLED display panel providing color compensation without overdriving light emitting units includes the light emitting units and a substrate. Each light emitting unit includes a light emitting element and an electrochromic element. The light emitting element is on a side of the electrochromic element away from the substrate. The electrochromic element includes first anode and cathode, and an electrochromic layer between them. The light emitting element includes second anode and cathode, and light emitting material between them. A portion of the second anode is shared with the first cathode. The present disclosure also provides a method for making such OLED display panel. The OLED display panel uses the electrochromic elements for color compensation, reducing the energy consumption of the display panel and prolonging service life.
