This application discloses a driving substrate and a display panel. In this embodiment, the output
electrode is used to electrically connect to a light-emitting device. The
active layer includes a
semiconductor portion, a first conductive portion, and a second conductive portion. The first conductive portion is connected to the side of the
semiconductor portion near the output
electrode, and the second conductive portion is connected to the side of the
semiconductor portion away from the output
electrode. The first conductive portion is connected to the output electrode, and the
surface resistivity of the first conductive portion is less than that of the second conductive portion. A gate is disposed overlapping the semiconductor portion. An input electrode is connected to the second conductive portion. The input electrode, output electrode,
active layer,
and gate are used to form a thin-film
transistor. In this application embodiment, because the
surface resistivity of the first conductive portion is less than that of the second conductive portion, the
voltage drop of the
active layer near the output electrode is reduced, thereby reducing the influence of hot carriers on the
threshold voltage.
