Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to a display panel and display device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of display technology, display devices have gradually become ubiquitous in people's lives. Among them, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panels are widely used in display devices such as mobile phones, televisions, and laptops due to their advantages such as self-illumination, low power consumption, wide viewing angle, fast response speed, and high contrast. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of this disclosure is to provide a display panel and a display device for improving the display effect of the display panel and reducing the power consumption of the display panel.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this disclosure provide the following technical solutions: On one hand, a display panel is provided. The display panel includes a substrate and a plurality of sub-pixels. The sub-pixels are located on one side of the substrate along a direction perpendicular to the substrate. Each sub-pixel includes a pixel circuit, which includes a driving sub-circuit, a coupling sub-circuit, a data writing sub-circuit, and a first control sub-circuit. The driving sub-circuit is connected to a first voltage signal line and a second voltage signal line, respectively. The coupling sub-circuit is connected to the driving sub-circuit. The data writing sub-circuit is connected to a first scan signal line, a data signal line, and the coupling sub-circuit, respectively. The first control sub-circuit is connected to a first control signal line, a first reference voltage signal line, and the coupling sub-circuit, respectively.
[0005] The plurality of sub-pixels include a first color sub-pixel and a second color sub-pixel. The first reference voltage signal line includes a first sub-signal line and a second sub-signal line. The first sub-signal line is connected to the first control sub-circuit of the pixel circuit in the first color sub-pixel, and the second sub-signal line is connected to the first control sub-circuit of the pixel circuit in the second color sub-pixel.
[0006] In the aforementioned display panel, the first reference voltage signal line includes a first sub-signal line and a second sub-signal line. The first sub-signal line is connected to the first control sub-circuit of the pixel circuit within the first color sub-pixel, and the second sub-signal line is connected to the first control sub-circuit of the pixel circuit within the second color sub-pixel. On one hand, the connection between the first color sub-pixel and the first sub-signal line within the first reference voltage signal line, and the connection between the second color sub-pixel and the second sub-signal line within the first reference voltage signal line, enables independent driving of the first color sub-pixel and the second color sub-pixel. This is beneficial for improving the driving capability of the first reference voltage signal line and for improving the stability of the first reference voltage signal transmitted within the first reference voltage signal line. Consequently, it helps to reduce the probability of flickering in the displayed image due to voltage fluctuations in the first reference voltage signal, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.
[0007] On the other hand, when the pixel circuit includes a driving sub-circuit, and the driving sub-circuit includes a third transistor, the saturation current of the third transistor is I = 1 / 2 * μ * Cox * W / L * (Vref1 - Vdata)^2, where μ represents the carrier mobility in the third transistor, Cox represents the capacitance per unit area of the oxide layer, W / L represents the ratio of the width to the length of the channel region in the third transistor, and (Vref1 - Vdata) represents the difference between the voltage of the first reference voltage signal transmitted in the first reference voltage signal line and the voltage of the data signal transmitted in the data signal line.
[0008] As can be seen from the above formula, the saturation current of the third transistor is related to (Vref1-Vdata). Since the first color sub-pixel is connected to the first sub-signal line in the first reference voltage signal line, and the second color sub-pixel is connected to the second sub-signal line in the first reference voltage signal line, the voltage of the first sub-signal transmitted in the first sub-signal line and the voltage of the second sub-signal transmitted in the second sub-signal line can be adjusted respectively. This reduces or approaches the difference between the voltage of the data signal transmitted in the data signal line connected to the first color sub-pixel and the voltage of the data signal transmitted in the data signal line connected to the second color sub-pixel. This reduces the effective driving voltage range of the source driver chip, thereby reducing the power consumption of the source driver chip and thus helping to reduce the driving power consumption of the display panel.
[0009] When the effective driving voltage range of the source driver chip is reduced, the difference between the high-level voltage and the low-level voltage of the first scan signal transmitted in the first scan signal line can also be reduced, which is beneficial to further reduce the driving power consumption of the display panel.
[0010] On the other hand, when the display panel is in a high-brightness mode or an average image level high-brightness mode, the voltage of the first sub-signal transmitted in the first sub-signal line can be adjusted to increase the current of the third transistor in the pixel circuit of the first color sub-pixel. Similarly, the voltage of the second sub-signal transmitted in the second sub-signal line can be adjusted to increase the current of the third transistor in the pixel circuit of the second color sub-pixel. This reduces the probability of insufficient driving current of the third transistor, thereby helping the display panel to achieve high-brightness display.
[0011] On the other hand, when the display panel is in low-frequency display mode, the brightness of the light-emitting device in the first color sub-pixel can be adjusted and compensated in real time by dynamically adjusting the voltage of the first sub-signal transmitted in the first sub-signal line. This helps to reduce the probability of uneven brightness of the light-emitting device in the first color sub-pixel during the write frame and hold frame due to transistor leakage and source retrace hysteresis. As a result, the brightness of the light-emitting device in the first color sub-pixel can be kept uniform and stable during the write frame and hold frame, which helps to reduce the probability of flickering in the image displayed by the display panel and further improves the display effect of the display panel.
[0012] When the display panel is in low-frequency display mode, the brightness of the light-emitting device in the second color sub-pixel can be dynamically adjusted and compensated in real time by dynamically adjusting the voltage of the second sub-signal transmitted in the second sub-signal line. This helps to reduce the probability of uneven brightness of the light-emitting device in the second color sub-pixel during the write frame and hold frame due to transistor leakage and source retrace hysteresis. As a result, the brightness of the light-emitting device in the second color sub-pixel can be kept uniform and stable during the write frame and hold frame, which helps to further reduce the probability of flickering in the image displayed by the display panel and further improve the display effect of the display panel.

[0033] The technical solutions in some embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments provided in this disclosure are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0034] Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third-person singular "comprises" and the present participle "comprising," are interpreted as open-ended and encompassing, meaning "including, but not limited to." In the description of the specification, terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "exemplary embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., are intended to indicate that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic associated with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this disclosure. The illustrative representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics mentioned may be included in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0035] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0036] In describing some embodiments, the terms "coupled" and "connected," and their derivative expressions, may be used. The term "connected" should be interpreted broadly; for example, a "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection via an intermediate medium. The term "coupled," for example, indicates that two or more components have direct physical or electrical contact. The term "coupled" or "communicatively coupled" may also refer to two or more components that do not have direct contact with each other but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the content of this document.
[0037] "At least one of A, B and C" has the same meaning as "at least one of A, B or C", both including the following combinations of A, B and C: only A, only B, only C, combinations of A and B, combinations of A and C, combinations of B and C, and combinations of A, B and C.
[0038] "A and / or B" includes the following three combinations: A only, B only, and a combination of A and B.
[0039] As used herein, “about,” “approximately,” or “approximately” includes the stated value and the average value within an acceptable range of deviation from the given value, wherein the acceptable range of deviation is determined by a person skilled in the art taking into account the measurement under discussion and the error associated with the measurement of the given quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).
[0040] As used herein, “parallel,” “perpendicular,” and “equal” include the described situation and situations that are similar to the described situation, within an acceptable deviation range, which is determined by those skilled in the art taking into account the measurement under discussion and the errors associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “parallel” includes absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, where an acceptable deviation range for approximate parallelism may be, for example, within 5°; “perpendicular” includes absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, where an acceptable deviation range for approximate perpendicularity may also be, for example, within 5°; “equal” includes absolute equality and approximate equality, where an acceptable deviation range for approximate equality may be, for example, a difference between the two equals being less than or equal to 5% of either one.
[0041] It should be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being on another layer or substrate, it can mean that the layer or element is directly on the other layer or substrate, or that there is an intermediate layer between the layer or element and the other layer or substrate.
[0042] This document describes exemplary embodiments with reference to cross-sectional views and / or plan views, which are idealized exemplary drawings. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and the area of regions are enlarged for clarity. Therefore, variations in shape relative to the drawings are contemplated due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Thus, exemplary embodiments should not be construed as being limited to the shapes of the regions shown herein, but rather include shape deviations due to, for example, manufacturing processes. For example, etched areas shown as rectangular would typically have curved features. Therefore, the regions shown in the drawings are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to show the actual shapes of the areas of the device, nor are they intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.
[0043] For ease of description below, an XYZ coordinate system is established. The first direction Z is perpendicular to the substrate, and the second direction X and the third direction Y are parallel to the substrate (i.e., both the second direction X and the third direction Y are perpendicular to the first direction Z), and the second direction X and the third direction Y intersect. For example, the second direction X can be perpendicular to the third direction Y.
[0044] It should be noted that, for example, 2 (100) in the accompanying drawings of this disclosure indicates that component 2 belongs to component 100, and other similar reference numerals in the drawings also follow the above description.
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a display device 1000.
[0046] Exemplarily, the display device 1000 can be any device that displays images, whether moving (e.g., video) or fixed (e.g., still images), and whether text or images. More specifically, the embodiments described are contemplated to be implemented in or associated with a variety of electronic devices, such as (but not limited to) mobile phones, wireless devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld or portable computers, Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers / navigators, cameras, MP4 video players, camcorders, game consoles, watches, clocks, calculators, television monitors, flat panel displays, computer monitors, automotive displays (e.g., odometer displays, etc.), navigators, cockpit controllers and / or displays, displays of camera views (e.g., displays of rearview cameras in vehicles), electronic photographs, electronic billboards or signs, projectors, architectural structures, packaging and aesthetic structures (e.g., displays of images of a piece of jewelry), etc. Figure 1 The following is an illustration using a mobile phone as an example of a display device 1000.
[0047] For example, the display device 1000 may be an electroluminescent display device or a photoluminescent display device.
[0048] When the display device 1000 is an electroluminescent display device, the electroluminescent display device may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display device or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display device.
[0049] When the display device 1000 is a photoluminescent display device, the photoluminescent display device may be a quantum dot photoluminescent display device.
[0050] The following describes some embodiments of this disclosure using an organic light-emitting diode display device or a quantum dot light-emitting diode display device as examples.
[0051] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 1 The display device 1000 may include a display panel 100 and a driver chip (not shown in the figure). The driver chip is connected to the display panel 100 and can be configured to drive the display panel 100 to display images.
[0052] It should be noted that, from the perspective of connection medium and signal transmission principle, the above-mentioned "connection" can be electrical connection, etc.
[0053] For example, the connection between the driver chip and the display panel 100 can be an electrical connection.
[0054] When the connection between the driver chip and the display panel 100 is an electrical connection, an electrical path can be established between the driver chip and the display panel 100 through a conductive material, so that electrical signals can be effectively transmitted between the driver chip and the display panel 100.
[0055] From the perspective of the connection path, the above "connection" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, etc.
[0056] For example, the connection between the driver chip and the display panel 100 can be a direct connection.
[0057] When the connection between the driver chip and the display panel 100 is a direct connection, the driver chip and the display panel 100 can communicate directly through a dedicated channel to achieve fast data signal transmission.
[0058] For example, the connection between the driver chip and the display panel 100 can be an indirect connection.
[0059] When the connection between the driver chip and the display panel 100 is indirect, the driver chip and the display panel 100 can transfer data signals through an intermediate component to enhance the flexibility of the display device 1000.
[0060] The following description of "connection" will follow this explanation and will not be repeated.
[0061] For example, the driver chip within the display device 1000 may include a source driver IC or the like.
[0062] For example, the driver chip in the display device 1000 can be encapsulated by means of chip on film (COF), chip on glass (COG), or chip on flexible material (COP) and bonded to the display panel 100.
[0063] For example, when the display device 1000 is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display device, the display panel 100 within the display device 1000 can be an OLED display panel.
[0064] When the display device 1000 is a quantum dot light-emitting diode display device, the display panel 100 within the display device 1000 can be a quantum dot light-emitting diode display panel.
[0065] The structure of the above-mentioned display panel 100 will be described in detail below.
[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a plan view of a display panel 100 according to some embodiments. The display panel 100 may be a rectangular structure.
[0067] It should be noted that the aforementioned "rectangular structure" refers to the fact that the overall shape of the boundary of the display panel 100 is rectangular, but it is not limited to a standard rectangle. That is, "rectangle" here includes not only the shape of a standard rectangle, but also, considering manufacturing conditions, shapes similar to rectangles. For example, please refer to [further details omitted]. Figure 2 The long and short sides of the rectangle can be curved at each intersection (i.e., at the corner G), that is, the corner G is smooth, so that the boundary of the display panel 100 is a rounded rectangle in the plan view.
[0068] In other embodiments, the display panel 100 may be a circular structure or other shapes with corners.
[0069] The following uses a rectangular structure for the display panel 100 as an example to illustrate some embodiments of the present disclosure. However, the implementation of the present disclosure includes, but is not limited to, this, and the shape of the display panel 100 can also be any other shape.
[0070] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 2 The display panel 100 has a display area AA for displaying images and a peripheral area AN located on at least one side of the display area AA.
[0071] For example, the peripheral area AN can be located on one side of the display area AA.
[0072] Alternatively, the peripheral area AN can be located on opposite sides of the display area AA.
[0073] Alternatively, please continue reading Figure 2 The surrounding area AN can surround the display area AA.
[0074] For example, please continue reading Figure 2 The peripheral area AN of the display panel 100 may be equipped with a gate driver on array (GOA) and control signal lines (e.g., clock signal lines, power supply voltage signal lines, etc.). However, the functions of the peripheral area AN of the display panel 100 include, but are not limited to, these.
[0075] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 2 The display panel 100 may include a substrate 1.
[0076] For example, substrate 1 can be a rigid substrate.
[0077] For example, the material of substrate 1 may include one of glass and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
[0078] For example, the material of substrate 1 may include multiple materials (two or more) such as glass and polymethyl methacrylate.
[0079] Alternatively, substrate 1 can be a flexible substrate.
[0080] For example, the material of substrate 1 may include one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and polyimide (PI).
[0081] For example, the material of substrate 1 may include a variety of materials such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene thiocyanate, and polyimide.
[0082] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 2 The display panel 100 may include multiple sub-pixels S.
[0083] For example, please continue reading Figure 2 In the case where the display panel 100 includes a substrate 1, the sub-pixel S can be located on one side of the substrate 1 along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 (i.e., the first direction Z).
[0084] For example, please continue reading Figure 2 When the display panel 100 has a display area AA, multiple sub-pixels S can be located within the display area AA of the display panel 100. Each sub-pixel S is the smallest light-emitting unit within the display area AA.
[0085] For example, please continue reading Figure 2 Multiple sub-pixels S within the display panel 100 can be arranged in an array.

[0095] For example, the first electrode 311 within the light-emitting device 30 can be a single-layer structure. Alternatively, the first electrode 311 within the light-emitting device 30 can be a multi-layer composite structure.
[0096] When the first electrode 311 in the light-emitting device 30 is a multilayer composite structure, the first electrode 311 can be a titanium / aluminum / titanium (Ti / Al / Ti) structure, an indium tin oxide / silver / indium tin oxide (ITO / Ag / ITO) structure, or a molybdenum / aluminum-neodymium alloy / indium tin oxide (Mo / AlNd / ITO) structure, etc.
[0097] For example, please continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 The light-emitting device 30 may include a light-emitting part 331.
[0098] The light-emitting part 331 may include a light-emitting layer 3311.
[0099] For example, please continue reading Figure 3 When the display panel 100 is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, the light-emitting layer 3311 within the light-emitting part 331 may include an electroluminescent material layer (EML). The electroluminescent material layer may include a host material and a guest material, and the guest material may be a fluorescent dopant or a phosphorescent dopant, etc.
[0100] For example, please continue reading Figure 4 In the case where the display panel 100 is a quantum dot electroluminescent diode display panel, the light-emitting layer 3311 within the light-emitting part 331 may include a quantum dot layer (QDL). The quantum dot layer may include quantum dot particles, which may be interconnected by surface modification groups.
[0101] Please continue reading. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The light-emitting part 331 may also include one or more of the following: a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron block layer (EBL), a hole block layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL).
[0102] For example, please continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 The light-emitting device 30 may include a second electrode 321.
[0103] For example, the material of the second electrode 321 within the light-emitting device 30 may include a metallic material. Specifically, the material of the second electrode 321 may include one or more of magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), and molybdenum (Mo).
[0104] The material of the second electrode 321 within the light-emitting device 30 may also include an alloy material. Specifically, the material of the second electrode 321 may include one or more of aluminum-neodymium alloy (AlNd) and molybdenum-niobium alloy (MoNb).

[0106] For example, please continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the light-emitting device 30 includes a first electrode 311, a light-emitting part 331, and a second electrode 321, the first electrode 311, the light-emitting part 331, and the second electrode 321 can be stacked sequentially along the first direction Z. The first electrode 311 and the second electrode 321 can provide charge carriers such as electrons and holes to the light-emitting part 331 so that the light-emitting part 331 emits light.
[0107] Please continue reading. Figure 3 and Figure 4 One of the first electrode 311 and the second electrode 321 can be used as the anode of the light-emitting device 30, and the other can be used as the cathode of the light-emitting device 30.
[0108] For example, please continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first electrode 311 can be used as the anode of the light-emitting device 30, and the second electrode 321 can be used as the cathode of the light-emitting device 30.
[0109] When the first electrode 311 serves as the anode of the light-emitting device 30 and the second electrode 321 serves as the cathode of the light-emitting device 30, when a voltage is applied between the first electrode 311 and the second electrode 321, holes injected from the first electrode 311 can be transported to the light-emitting portion 331 within the light-emitting device 30, and electrons injected from the second electrode 321 can also be transported to the light-emitting portion 331 within the light-emitting device 30. Electrons and holes, as charge carriers, recombine in the light-emitting portion 331 to generate excitons. When the excitons transition from the excited state to the ground state, they emit light, thereby causing the light-emitting portion 331 to emit light, and thus causing the light-emitting device 30 to emit light.
[0110] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 2 In the case where the display panel 100 includes sub-pixels S and sub-pixels S include light-emitting devices 30, sub-pixels S may also include pixel circuits 20, which are connected to the light-emitting devices 30.

The pixel circuit 20 can generate a driving signal (e.g., a driving current), and the light-emitting device 30 can emit light under the driving action of the driving signal generated by the pixel circuit 20.
[0112] For example, please continue reading Figure 2 The pixel circuit 20 and the light-emitting device 30 can have a one-to-one driving relationship. That is, one light-emitting device 30 can be connected to a corresponding pixel circuit 20.
[0113] Alternatively, the pixel circuit 20 and the light-emitting device 30 can have a one-to-many driving relationship. That is, one pixel circuit 20 can be connected to multiple light-emitting devices 30 and configured to drive multiple light-emitting devices 30 to emit light.
[0114] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a plan view of a pixel circuit 20 within a sub-pixel S according to some embodiments. The display panel 100 may include a plurality of pixel circuits 20. The plurality of pixel circuits 20 may be arranged along a second direction X.
[0115] Please continue reading. Figure 5 The multiple pixel circuits 20 within the display panel 100 may include multiple pixel circuit groups 20a. Each pixel circuit group 20a includes at least one pixel circuit 20.
[0116] For example, please continue reading Figure 5 In the case where multiple sub-pixels S in the display panel 100 include a first color sub-pixel S1, the pixel circuit group 20a may include the pixel circuit 20 in the first color sub-pixel S1.
[0117] In the case where multiple sub-pixels S in the display panel 100 include a second color sub-pixel S2, the pixel circuit group 20a may include the pixel circuit 20 in the second color sub-pixel S2.
[0118] In the case where the plurality of sub-pixels S in the display panel 100 include a third color sub-pixel S3, the pixel circuit group 20a may include the pixel circuit 20 in the third color sub-pixel S3.
[0119] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6This is an equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel circuit 20 within a sub-pixel S according to some embodiments. When the display panel 100 includes a sub-pixel S and the sub-pixel S includes a pixel circuit 20, the pixel circuit 20 may include a driving sub-circuit 201, a coupling sub-circuit 202, a data writing sub-circuit 203, and a first control sub-circuit 204.
[0120] The driving sub-circuit 201 can be connected to the first voltage signal line V1 and the second voltage signal line V2, respectively. The coupling sub-circuit 202 can be connected to the driving sub-circuit 201. The data writing sub-circuit 203 can be connected to the first scan signal line Gate, the data signal line Data, and the coupling sub-circuit 202, respectively. The first control sub-circuit 204 can be connected to the first control signal line EM1, the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, and the coupling sub-circuit 202, respectively.
[0121] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is an equivalent circuit diagram of pixel circuit 20 within sub-pixel S according to some embodiments. The driving sub-circuit 201 within pixel circuit 20 may include a third transistor T3.
[0122] Please continue reading. Figure 7 The third transistor T3 may include a control electrode, a first electrode, and a second electrode.

The control electrode of the third transistor T3 can be connected to the first node N1, the first electrode of the third transistor T3 can be connected to the first voltage signal line V1, and the second electrode of the third transistor T3 can be connected to the second voltage signal line V2.
[0123] For example, the control electrode of the third transistor T3 can be the gate, the first electrode of the third transistor T3 can be the source, and the second electrode of the third transistor T3 can be the drain. Alternatively, the control electrode of the third transistor T3 can be the gate, the first electrode of the third transistor T3 can be the drain, and the second electrode of the third transistor T3 can be the source.
[0124] It should be noted that the first node N1 mentioned above does not represent an actual existing component, but rather the junction point of related connections in the equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel circuit 20. In other words, the first node N1 is a node equivalent to the junction point of related connections in the equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel circuit 20.
[0125] For example, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, and in combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 This is a plan view of a partial region of the first active layer 26 within the pixel driving layer 2 of the display panel 100 according to some embodiments.

Figure 10 This is a plan view of a portion of the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 according to some embodiments, and of the first active layer 26 and the fifth conductive layer 25 within the pixel driving layer 2. When the driving sub-circuit 201 includes a third transistor T3, the third transistor T3 may include a third active pattern T31 and a third gate T32.

[0128] For example, please continue reading Figure 7 In the case where the driving sub-circuit 201 includes a third transistor T3, the third transistor T3 can be a P-type transistor or an N-type transistor.
[0129] The turn-on voltage of a P-type transistor can be a low-level voltage (e.g., the turn-on voltage of a P-type transistor can be 0V, -5V, or -10V, etc.), and the turn-off voltage of a P-type transistor can be a high-level voltage (e.g., the turn-off voltage of a P-type transistor can be 5V or 10V, etc.).
[0130] The turn-on voltage of an N-type transistor can be a high-level voltage (e.g., the turn-on voltage of an N-type transistor can be 5V or 10V, etc.), and the turn-off voltage of an N-type transistor can be a low-level voltage (e.g., the turn-off voltage of an N-type transistor can be 0V, -5V, or -10V, etc.).

However, the implementation of the present disclosure includes, but is not limited to, this, and the third transistor T3 can also be other suitable types of transistors.
[0132] For example, when the driving sub-circuit 201 includes a third transistor T3, the third transistor T3 can be a low-temperature poly-silicon thin film transistor (LTPS-TFT). Low-temperature poly-silicon thin film transistors have advantages such as high mobility and fast charging.
[0133] Alternatively, the third transistor T3 can be an oxide thin film transistor (Oxide-TFT). Oxide thin film transistors have advantages such as low leakage current.

The common terminal of the coupling sub-circuit 202, the data writing sub-circuit 203, and the first control sub-circuit 204 is the third node N3. The third plate of the second capacitor C2 can be connected to the second plate of the first capacitor C1, and the fourth plate of the second capacitor C2 can be connected to the third node N3.
[0138] It should be noted that the aforementioned third node N3 does not represent an actual existing component, but rather the junction point of related connections in the equivalent circuit diagram of pixel circuit 20. In other words, the third node N3 is a node equivalent to the junction point of related connections in the equivalent circuit diagram of pixel circuit 20.

The second scan signal provided by the second scan signal line Az is at a low level, and both the second transistor T2 and the ninth transistor T9 are in the on state. The first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal line V1 can be transmitted to the second node N2 through the ninth transistor T9.

[0238] Phase 16: Please refer to the following section. Figure 11 and combined Figure 15 , Figure 15 for Figure 7 The diagram shows the state of the pixel circuit 20 during the light-emitting stage t16.

The second control signal provided by the second control signal line EM2 is low, and the sixth transistor T6 is in the on state, allowing the third transistor T3 to drive the light-emitting device 30 to emit light.
[0239] For example, such as Figure 16 As shown, and in combination Figure 7 and Figure 11 , Figure 16 This is a timing diagram showing the driving of the pixel circuit 20 within a sub-pixel S according to some embodiments. The refresh rate of the display panel 100 can be switched to achieve low-frequency driving, which helps to reduce the power consumption of the display panel 100 and improve the display quality of the display panel 100.
[0240] When the display panel 100 switches refresh rates, there are usually several adjustment methods. One such method is to reduce the refresh rate based on the base refresh rate (i.e., the fundamental frequency), typically by reducing the refresh rate in integer multiples. Reducing the refresh rate in integer multiples is called frame interpolation frequency modulation. In frame interpolation, the display frames at the base refresh rate include write frames, while the display frames after reducing the refresh rate from the base refresh rate include write frames and hold frames.
[0241] In other words, by inserting hold frames between adjacent write frames, the refresh rate of the display panel 100 can be reduced, and by changing the number of hold frames inserted between adjacent write frames, the reduction factor of the refresh rate can be changed.
[0242] For example, if the base refresh rate is 120Hz, inserting one hold frame reduces the refresh rate to 60Hz, inserting two hold frames reduces the refresh rate to 40Hz, and so on. Switching between two different refresh rates can be between the base refresh rate and the refresh rate after downscaling from the base refresh rate, or it can be between two refresh rates after downscaling from the same base refresh rate.
[0243] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, Figure 17 and Figure 18 All are equivalent circuit diagrams of pixel circuits 20 within sub-pixels S according to some embodiments. In a display panel 100 comprising multiple sub-pixels S and a first reference voltage signal line Vref1, where each sub-pixel S includes a pixel circuit 20, the pixel circuit 20 includes a first control sub-circuit 204, the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 is connected to the first control sub-circuit 204, and the multiple sub-pixels S within the display panel 100 include a first color sub-pixel S1 and a second color sub-pixel S2, the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 may include a first sub-signal line Vref11 and a second sub-signal line Vref12. The first sub-signal line Vref11 may be connected to the first control sub-circuit 204 of the pixel circuit 20 within the first color sub-pixel S1, and the second sub-signal line Vref12 may be connected to the first control sub-circuit 204 of the pixel circuit 20 within the second color sub-pixel S2.
[0244] In the aforementioned display panel 100, the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 includes a first sub-signal line Vref11 and a second sub-signal line Vref12. The first sub-signal line Vref11 is connected to the first control sub-circuit 204 of the pixel circuit 20 in the first color sub-pixel S1, and the second sub-signal line Vref12 is connected to the first control sub-circuit 204 of the pixel circuit 20 in the second color sub-pixel S2. On the one hand, the connection between the first color sub-pixel S1 and the first sub-signal line Vref11 in the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, and the connection between the second color sub-pixel S2 and the second sub-signal line Vref12 in the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, can realize independent driving of the first color sub-pixel S1 and the second color sub-pixel S2. This is beneficial to improving the driving capability of the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 and improving the stability of the first reference voltage signal transmitted in the first reference voltage signal line Vref1. In turn, it is beneficial to reduce the probability of flickering of the image displayed by the display panel 100 due to voltage fluctuations of the first reference voltage signal, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0245] On the other hand, when the pixel circuit 20 includes a driving sub-circuit 201, and the driving sub-circuit 201 includes a third transistor T3, the saturation current I of the third transistor T3 is I = 1 / 2 * μ * Cox * W / L * (Vref1 - Vdata)^2, where μ represents the carrier mobility in the third transistor T3, Cox represents the capacitance per unit area of the oxide layer, W / L represents the ratio of the width to the length of the channel region in the third transistor T3, and (Vref1 - Vdata) represents the difference between the voltage of the first reference voltage signal transmitted in the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 and the voltage of the data signal transmitted in the data signal line Data.
[0246] As shown in the above formula, the saturation current I of the third transistor T3 is related to (Vref1-Vdata). Since the first color sub-pixel S1 is connected to the first sub-signal line Vref11 within the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, and the second color sub-pixel S2 is connected to the second sub-signal line Vref12 within the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, the voltage of the first sub-signal transmitted within the first sub-signal line Vref11 and the voltage of the second sub-signal transmitted within the second sub-signal line Vref12 can be adjusted respectively. This reduces or approaches zero the difference between the voltage of the data signal transmitted within the data signal line Data connected to the first color sub-pixel S1 and the voltage of the data signal transmitted within the data signal line Data connected to the second color sub-pixel S2. Consequently, the effective driving voltage range of the source driver chip (i.e., the voltage gate maximum positive (VGMP) and voltage gate minimum positive (VGMP)) can be reduced. The difference between the positive (VGSP) and the source driver chip reduces the power consumption, which in turn helps to reduce the driving power consumption of the display panel 100.
[0247] When the effective driving voltage range of the source driver chip is reduced, the difference between the high-level voltage (Voltage Gate High, VGH) and low-level voltage (Voltage Gate Low, VGL) of the first scan signal transmitted in the first scan signal line Gate can also be reduced, which is beneficial to further reduce the driving power consumption of the display panel 100.
[0248] On the other hand, when the display panel 100 is in display modes such as High Brightness Mode (HBM) or Average Picture Level (APL), the voltage of the first sub-signal transmitted in the first sub-signal line Vref11 can be adjusted to increase the current of the third transistor T3 in the pixel circuit 20 of the first color sub-pixel S1, and the voltage of the second sub-signal transmitted in the second sub-signal line Vref12 can be adjusted to increase the current of the third transistor T3 in the pixel circuit 20 of the second color sub-pixel S2. This can reduce the probability of insufficient driving current of the third transistor T3, thereby helping the display panel 100 to achieve high brightness display.
[0249] On the other hand, please continue to refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 When the display panel 100 is in low-frequency display mode, the brightness of the light-emitting device 30 in the first color sub-pixel S1 can be adjusted and compensated in real time by dynamically adjusting the voltage of the first sub-signal transmitted in the first sub-signal line Vref11. This helps to reduce the probability of uneven brightness of the light-emitting device 30 in the first color sub-pixel S1 during the write frame and hold frame due to transistor leakage and back-to-source (BTS) hysteresis. As a result, the brightness of the light-emitting device 30 in the first color sub-pixel S1 can be kept uniform and stable during the write frame and hold frame, thereby reducing the probability of flickering in the image displayed by the display panel 100 and further improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0250] Please continue reading. Figure 16 and Figure 18 When the display panel 100 is in low-frequency display mode, the brightness of the light-emitting device 30 in the second color sub-pixel S2 can be adjusted and compensated in real time by dynamically adjusting the voltage of the second sub-signal transmitted in the second sub-signal line Vref12. This helps to reduce the probability of uneven brightness of the light-emitting device 30 in the second color sub-pixel S2 during the write frame and hold frame due to transistor leakage and source retrace hysteresis. As a result, the brightness of the light-emitting device 30 in the second color sub-pixel S2 can be kept uniform and stable during the write frame and hold frame, which helps to further reduce the probability of flickering in the image displayed by the display panel 100 and further improve the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0251] For example, such as Figure 19 As shown, Figure 19This is a plan view of a partial region of the first conductive layer 21 within the pixel driving layer 2 of a display panel 100 according to some embodiments. The first sub-signal line Vref11 may extend along the second direction X.
[0252] For example, such as Figure 20 As shown, Figure 20 This is a plan view of a partial region of the second conductive layer 22 within the pixel driving layer 2 of a display panel 100 according to some embodiments. The second sub-signal line Vref12 may extend along the second direction X.
[0253] For example, such as Figure 21 As shown, Figure 21 This is a plan view of a partial region of a substrate 1 within a display panel 100 according to some embodiments, and a first conductive layer 21 and a second conductive layer 22 within a pixel driving layer 2. The first sub-signal line Vref11 and the second sub-signal line Vref12 may be parallel to the substrate 1 within the display panel 100, and the first sub-signal line Vref11 may be substantially parallel to the second sub-signal line Vref12.
[0254] It should be noted that the above statement "the first sub-signal line Vref11 can be roughly parallel to the second sub-signal line Vref12" means that the extension direction of the first sub-signal line Vref11 and the extension direction of the second sub-signal line Vref12 are basically the same. There may be slight angular deviations or local slight displacements due to manufacturing process errors or wiring space limitations, but there are no obvious intersections or large directional deviations.
[0255] For example, please continue reading Figure 21 The orthographic projection of the first sub-signal line Vref11 onto the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 can overlap with the orthographic projection of the second sub-signal line Vref12 onto the substrate 1.
[0256] For example, such as Figure 22 As shown, and in combination Figure 17 , Figure 22 This is a plan view of a portion of the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 according to some embodiments, and of the first active layer 26, the first conductive layer 21, and the second conductive layer 22 within the pixel driving layer 2. In the pixel circuit 20, the first control sub-circuit 204 includes a first transistor T1, which includes a first active pattern T11. When the first active pattern T11 is connected to the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, the orthographic projection of the first active pattern T11 onto the substrate 1 can overlap with the orthographic projection of the first sub-signal line Vref11 onto the substrate 1.
[0257] For example, please continue reading Figure 22 and combined Figure 18The first control sub-circuit 204 in the pixel circuit 20 includes a first transistor T1, the first transistor T1 includes a first active pattern T11, and when the first active pattern T11 is connected to the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, the orthogonal projection of the first active pattern T11 onto the substrate 1 can overlap with the orthogonal projection of the second sub-signal line Vref12 onto the substrate 1.
[0258] For example, the voltage value of the first sub-signal transmitted in the first sub-signal line Vref11 can be greater than or equal to 0.5V and less than or equal to 4.5V.
[0259] For example, the voltage value of the first sub-signal transmitted in the first sub-signal line Vref11 can be 0.5 V, 1 V, 1.5 V, 2 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, 3.5 V, 4 V or 4.5 V, etc.
[0260] For example, the voltage value of the second sub-signal transmitted within the second sub-signal line Vref12 can be greater than or equal to 0.5V and less than or equal to 4.5V.
[0261] For example, the voltage value of the second sub-signal transmitted in the second sub-signal line Vref12 can be 0.5 V, 1 V, 1.5 V, 2 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, 3.5 V, 4 V or 4.5 V, etc.
[0262] For example, the material of the first sub-signal line Vref11 may include molybdenum (Mo) or the like.
[0263] For example, the material of the second sub-signal line Vref12 may include molybdenum (Mo) or the like.
[0264] In some embodiments, such as Figure 23 As shown, Figure 23 This is an equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel circuit 20 within a sub-pixel S according to some embodiments. In a display panel 100 that includes a plurality of sub-pixels S and a first reference voltage signal line Vref1, where each sub-pixel S includes a pixel circuit 20, the pixel circuit 20 includes a first control sub-circuit 204, the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 is connected to the first control sub-circuit 204, and the plurality of sub-pixels S within the display panel 100 includes a third color sub-pixel S3, the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 may include a third sub-signal line Vref13, and the third sub-signal line Vref13 may be connected to the first control sub-circuit 204 of the pixel circuit 20 within the third color sub-pixel S3.
[0265] Please continue reading. Figure 17 , Figure 18 and Figure 23In the aforementioned display panel 100, the plurality of sub-pixels S within the display panel 100 further include a first color sub-pixel S1 and a second color sub-pixel S2. The first reference voltage signal line Vref1 further includes a first sub-signal line Vref11 and a second sub-signal line Vref12. The first sub-signal line Vref11 is connected to the first control sub-circuit 204 of the pixel circuit 20 within the first color sub-pixel S1, and the second sub-signal line Vref12 is connected to the first control sub-circuit 204 of the pixel circuit 20 within the second color sub-pixel S2. In the case where the first color sub-pixel S1 is connected to the first sub-signal line Vref11 within the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, and the second color sub-pixel S2 is connected to the first reference voltage signal line... The second sub-signal line Vref12 within Vref1 is connected, and the third color sub-pixel S3 is connected to the third sub-signal line Vref13 within the first reference voltage signal line Vref1. This enables independent driving of the first color sub-pixel S1, the second color sub-pixel S2, and the third color sub-pixel S3, which is beneficial for further improving the driving capability of the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 and the stability of the first reference voltage signal transmitted within the first reference voltage signal line Vref1. This, in turn, helps to further reduce the probability of flickering in the image displayed on the display panel 100 due to voltage fluctuations in the first reference voltage signal, thereby further improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0266] On the other hand, when the pixel circuit 20 includes a driving sub-circuit 201, and the driving sub-circuit 201 includes a third transistor T3, the saturation current I of the third transistor T3 is related to (Vref1-Vdata). Since the first color sub-pixel S1 is connected to the first sub-signal line Vref11 within the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, the second color sub-pixel S2 is connected to the second sub-signal line Vref12 within the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, and the third color sub-pixel S3 is connected to the third sub-signal line Vref13 within the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, the first sub-signal line transmitted within the first sub-signal line Vref11 can be controlled respectively. The voltage of the first sub-pixel S1, the voltage of the second sub-signal transmitted in the second sub-signal line Vref12, and the voltage of the third sub-signal transmitted in the third sub-signal line Vref13 reduce or approach 0 the difference between the voltage of the data signal transmitted in the data signal line Data connected to the first color sub-pixel S1, the data signal transmitted in the data signal line Data connected to the second color sub-pixel S2, and the data signal transmitted in the data signal line Data connected to the third color sub-pixel S3. This reduces the effective driving voltage range of the source driver chip, thereby reducing the power consumption of the source driver chip and thus helping to reduce the driving power consumption of the display panel 100.
[0267] When the effective driving voltage range of the source driver chip is reduced, the difference between the high-level voltage and the low-level voltage of the first scan signal transmitted in the first scan signal line Gate can also be reduced, which is beneficial to further reduce the driving power consumption of the display panel 100.
[0268] On the other hand, when the display panel 100 is in a high brightness mode or an average image level high brightness mode, the voltage of the third sub-signal transmitted in the third sub-signal line Vref13 can be adjusted to increase the current of the third transistor T3 in the pixel circuit 20 in the third color sub-pixel S3. This can reduce the probability of insufficient driving current of the third transistor T3, thereby helping the display panel 100 to achieve high brightness display.
[0269] On the other hand, please continue to refer to Figure 16 and Figure 23 When the display panel 100 is in low-frequency display mode, the brightness of the light-emitting device 30 in the third color sub-pixel S3 can be adjusted and compensated in real time by dynamically adjusting the voltage of the third sub-signal transmitted in the third sub-signal line Vref13. This helps to reduce the probability of uneven brightness of the light-emitting device 30 in the third color sub-pixel S3 during the write frame and hold frame due to transistor leakage and back-to-source (BTS) hysteresis. As a result, the brightness of the light-emitting device 30 in the third color sub-pixel S3 can be kept uniform and stable during the write frame and hold frame, thereby reducing the probability of flickering in the image displayed by the display panel 100 and further improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0270] For example, such as Figure 24 As shown, Figure 24 This is a plan view of a partial region of the third conductive layer 23 within the pixel driving layer 2 of a display panel 100 according to some embodiments. The third sub-signal line Vref13 may extend along the second direction X.
[0271] For example, please continue reading Figure 21 and Figure 24 When the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 also includes a first sub-signal line Vref11 and a second sub-signal line Vref12, the first sub-signal line Vref11, the second sub-signal line Vref12 and the third sub-signal line Vref13 can be parallel to the substrate 1 in the display panel 100, and the first sub-signal line Vref11 can be approximately parallel to the second sub-signal line Vref12 and the third sub-signal line Vref13.
[0272] It should be noted that the statement "the first sub-signal line Vref11 can be roughly parallel to the second sub-signal line Vref12 and the third sub-signal line Vref13" means that the extension directions of the first sub-signal line Vref11, the second sub-signal line Vref12, and the third sub-signal line Vref13 are basically the same. There may be slight angular deviations or local slight displacements due to manufacturing process errors or wiring space limitations, but there are no obvious intersections or large directional deviations.
[0273] For example, such as Figure 25 As shown, Figure 25 This is a plan view of a partial region of the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 according to some embodiments, and the first conductive layer 21 and the third conductive layer 23 within the pixel driving layer 2. When the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 further includes a first sub-signal line Vref11, the orthogonal projection of the third sub-signal line Vref13 onto the substrate 1 may be located on one side of the orthogonal projection of the first sub-signal line Vref11 onto the substrate 1.
[0274] For example, please continue reading Figure 25 The orthogonal projection of the third sub-signal line Vref13 onto the substrate 1 can be located on the side of the orthogonal projection of the first sub-signal line Vref11 onto the substrate 1 along the third direction Y.
[0275] For example, such as Figure 26 As shown, Figure 26 This is a plan view of a partial region of the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 according to some embodiments, and the second conductive layer 22 and the third conductive layer 23 within the pixel driving layer 2. When the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 further includes a second sub-signal line Vref12, the orthogonal projection of the third sub-signal line Vref13 onto the substrate 1 may be located on one side of the orthogonal projection of the second sub-signal line Vref12 onto the substrate 1.
[0276] For example, please continue reading Figure 26 The orthogonal projection of the third sub-signal line Vref13 onto the substrate 1 can be located on the side of the orthogonal projection of the second sub-signal line Vref12 onto the substrate 1 along the third direction Y.
[0277] For example, such as Figure 27 As shown, and in combination Figure 23 , Figure 27This is a plan view of a portion of the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 according to some embodiments, and of the first active layer 26 and the third conductive layer 23 within the pixel driving layer 2. In the pixel circuit 20, the first control sub-circuit 204 includes a first transistor T1, which includes a first active pattern T11. When the first active pattern T11 is connected to the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, the orthographic projection of the first active pattern T11 onto the substrate 1 can overlap with the orthographic projection of the third sub-signal line Vref13 onto the substrate 1.
[0278] For example, such as Figure 28 As shown, Figure 28 This is a plan view of a partial region of the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 according to some embodiments, and the first active layer 26, the first conductive layer 21, and the third conductive layer 23 within the pixel driving layer 2. In the case where the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 further includes a first sub-signal line Vref11, and the orthographic projection of the first sub-signal line Vref11 onto the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first active pattern T11 onto the substrate 1, the display panel 100 may further include a first connecting portion 231, through which the third sub-signal line Vref13 is connected to the first active pattern T11. The orthographic projection of the first connecting portion 231 onto the substrate 1 may overlap with the orthographic projection of the first sub-signal line Vref11 onto the substrate 1.
[0279] For example, the voltage value of the third sub-signal transmitted in the third sub-signal line Vref13 can be greater than or equal to 0.5V and less than or equal to 4.5V.
[0280] For example, the voltage value of the third sub-signal transmitted in the third sub-signal line Vref13 can be 0.5 V, 1 V, 1.5 V, 2 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, 3.5 V, 4 V or 4.5 V, etc.
[0281] For example, the material of the third sub-signal line Vref13 may include molybdenum (Mo) or the like.
[0282] In some embodiments, such as Figure 29 As shown, Figure 29This is a plan view of a partial region of the first conductive layer 21 and the fourth conductive layer 24 within the pixel driving layer 2 of a display panel 100 according to some embodiments. When the display panel 100 includes a first reference voltage signal line Vref1, and the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 includes a first sub-signal line Vref11, the display panel 100 may further include a fourth sub-signal line Vref14, which is connected to the first sub-signal line Vref11. The orthographic projection of the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 onto the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 may intersect with the orthographic projection of the first sub-signal line Vref11 onto the substrate 1.
[0283] For example, please continue reading Figure 29 The first sub-signal line Vref11 can extend along the second direction X, and the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 can extend along the third direction Y.
[0284] In the aforementioned display panel 100, the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 is connected to the first sub-signal line Vref11, such that both the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 and the first sub-signal line Vref11 are used to transmit the first sub-signal. Since the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 extends along the third direction Y, and the first sub-signal line Vref11 extends along the second direction X, and the second direction X intersects with the third direction Y, the first sub-signal line Vref11 extending along the second direction X and the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 extending along the third direction Y can jointly form a mesh structure, which is beneficial to reducing the loss of the first sub-signal during transmission, and thus beneficial to reducing the voltage drop difference between the first sub-signals in different areas within the display panel 100, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0285] For example, such as Figure 30 As shown, Figure 30 This is a plan view of a partial region of the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 according to some embodiments, and the first active layer 26, the fifth conductive layer 25, and the fourth conductive layer 24 within the pixel driving layer 2. When the display panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel circuits 20, and the plurality of pixel circuits 20 are arranged along the extension direction (i.e., the second direction X) of the first sub-signal line Vref11, in a projected image onto the substrate 1, the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 may be located between two adjacent pixel circuits 20.
[0286] In some embodiments, such as Figure 31 As shown, Figure 31This is a plan view of a partial region of the second conductive layer 22 and the fourth conductive layer 24 within the pixel driving layer 2 of a display panel 100 according to some embodiments. When the display panel 100 includes a first reference voltage signal line Vref1, and the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 includes a second sub-signal line Vref12, the display panel 100 may further include a fifth sub-signal line Vref15, which is connected to the second sub-signal line Vref12. The orthographic projection of the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 onto the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 may intersect with the orthographic projection of the second sub-signal line Vref12 onto the substrate 1.
[0287] For example, please continue reading Figure 31 The second sub-signal line Vref12 can extend along the second direction X, and the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 can extend along the third direction Y.
[0288] In the aforementioned display panel 100, the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 is connected to the second sub-signal line Vref12, such that both the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 and the second sub-signal line Vref12 are used to transmit the second sub-signal. Since the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 extends along the third direction Y, and the second sub-signal line Vref12 extends along the second direction X, and the second direction X intersects with the third direction Y, the second sub-signal line Vref12 extending along the second direction X and the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 extending along the third direction Y can jointly form a mesh structure, which is beneficial to reducing the loss of the second sub-signal during transmission, and thus beneficial to reducing the voltage drop difference between the second sub-signals in different areas within the display panel 100, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0289] For example, please continue reading Figure 30 In the case where the display panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel circuits 20 and the plurality of pixel circuits 20 are arranged along the extension direction of the first sub-signal line Vref11 (i.e., the second direction X), the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 may be located between two adjacent pixel circuits 20 in the orthogonal projection onto the substrate 1.
[0290] For example, such as Figure 32 As shown, Figure 32 This is a plan view of a partial area of the fourth conductive layer 24 within the pixel driving layer 2 of the display panel 100 according to some embodiments. When the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 further includes a fourth sub-signal line Vref14, the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 and the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 can be disposed on the same layer, and the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 can be substantially parallel to the fifth sub-signal line Vref15.
[0291] It should be noted that the above statement that "the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 can be roughly parallel to the fifth sub-signal line Vref15" means that the extension direction of the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 and the extension direction of the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 are basically the same. There may be slight angular deviations or local slight displacements due to manufacturing process errors or wiring space limitations, but there is no obvious intersection or large directional deviation.
[0292] Please continue reading. Figure 32 The fourth sub-signal line Vref14 and the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 can be arranged at intervals along the second direction X.
[0293] For example, please continue reading Figure 32 The fourth sub-signal line Vref14 and the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 can be arranged alternately along the second direction X.
[0294] For example, please continue reading Figure 30 In the case where the display panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel circuits 20, the plurality of pixel circuits 20 are arranged along the extension direction (i.e., the second direction X) of the first sub-signal line Vref11, and the plurality of pixel circuits 20 include a plurality of pixel circuit groups 20a, in the orthographic projection onto the substrate 1 within the display panel 100, the pixel circuit group 20a may be located between adjacent fourth sub-signal lines Vref14 and fifth sub-signal lines Vref15.
[0295] For example, the material of the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 may include titanium (Ti) and aluminum (Al), etc.
[0296] For example, the material of the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 may include titanium (Ti) and aluminum (Al), etc.
[0297] In some embodiments, such as Figure 33 As shown, Figure 33 This is a plan view of a partial region of the third conductive layer 23 and the fourth conductive layer 24 within the pixel driving layer 2 of a display panel 100 according to some embodiments. When the display panel 100 includes a first reference voltage signal line Vref1, and the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 includes a third sub-signal line Vref13, the display panel 100 may further include a sixth sub-signal line Vref16, which is connected to the third sub-signal line Vref13. The orthographic projection of the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 onto the substrate 1 within the display panel 100 may intersect with the orthographic projection of the third sub-signal line Vref13 onto the substrate 1.
[0298] For example, please continue reading Figure 33The third sub-signal line Vref13 can extend along the second direction X, and the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 can extend along the third direction Y.
[0299] In the aforementioned display panel 100, the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 is connected to the third sub-signal line Vref13, so that both the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 and the third sub-signal line Vref13 are used to transmit the third sub-signal. Since the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 extends along the third direction Y, and the third sub-signal line Vref13 extends along the second direction X, and the second direction X and the third direction Y intersect, the third sub-signal line Vref13 extending along the second direction X and the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 extending along the third direction Y can jointly form a mesh structure, which is beneficial to reducing the loss of the third sub-signal during transmission, and thus beneficial to reducing the voltage drop difference between the third sub-signals in different areas within the display panel 100, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0300] For example, please continue reading Figure 30 In the case where the display panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel circuits 20 and the plurality of pixel circuits 20 are arranged along the extension direction of the first sub-signal line Vref11 (i.e., the second direction X), in the orthogonal projection onto the substrate 1, the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 may be located between two adjacent pixel circuits 20.
[0301] For example, please continue reading Figure 32 When the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 also includes a fourth sub-signal line Vref14 and a fifth sub-signal line Vref15, the fourth sub-signal line Vref14, the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 and the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 can be arranged on the same layer, and the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 can be approximately parallel to the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 and the sixth sub-signal line Vref16.
[0302] It should be noted that the statement "the fourth sub-signal line Vref14 can be roughly parallel to the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 and the sixth sub-signal line Vref16" means that the extension directions of the fourth sub-signal line Vref14, the fifth sub-signal line Vref15, and the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 are basically the same. There may be slight angular deviations or local minor displacements due to manufacturing process errors or wiring space limitations, but there are no obvious intersections or large directional deviations.
[0303] Please continue reading. Figure 32 The fourth sub-signal line Vref14, the fifth sub-signal line Vref15, and the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 can be arranged at intervals along the second direction X.
[0304] For example, please continue reading Figure 32 The fourth sub-signal line Vref14, the sixth sub-signal line Vref16, and the fifth sub-signal line Vref15 can be arranged sequentially at intervals along the second direction X.
[0305] For example, please continue reading Figure 30 In the case where the display panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel circuits 20, the plurality of pixel circuits 20 are arranged along the second direction X, and the plurality of pixel circuits 20 include a plurality of pixel circuit groups 20a, in the orthographic projection onto the substrate 1 within the display panel 100, the pixel circuit group 20a may be located between adjacent fourth sub-signal line Vref14 and sixth sub-signal line Vref16, and between adjacent sixth sub-signal line Vref16 and fifth sub-signal line Vref15.
[0306] For example, the material of the sixth sub-signal line Vref16 may include titanium (Ti) and aluminum (Al), etc.

The film layer structure of the display panel 100 will be described in detail below.
[0308] In some embodiments, such as Figure 34 As shown, Figure 34 This is a cross-sectional view of a partial area of a display panel 100 according to some embodiments. When the display panel 100 includes a substrate 1, the display panel 100 may further include a pixel driving layer 2 and a light-emitting device layer 3, and the substrate 1, the pixel driving layer 2 and the light-emitting device layer 3 may be stacked sequentially along a first direction Z.

The encapsulation layer 4 is located on the side of the light-emitting device layer 3 away from the substrate 1. The encapsulation layer 4 can be used to encapsulate the light-emitting device layer 3, thereby protecting the light-emitting device layer 3 from corrosion caused by external water and oxygen.
