[0086] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0087] The display substrate described in at least one embodiment of the present invention comprises a base substrate, and a light shielding layer and a thin film transistor array layer sequentially located on the base substrate; the light shielding layer comprises a plurality of imaging pinholes;

[0088] A first protective layer is disposed between the light shielding layer and the thin film transistor array layer;

[0089] A first region is provided on the substrate, and an orthographic projection of a metal film layer included in the thin film transistor array layer on the substrate is arranged outside the first region; at least a part of the orthographic projection of the imaging pinhole on the substrate is arranged in the first region;

[0090] The orthographic projection of the first protective layer on the base substrate at least covers a portion of the first area;

[0091] The first region includes a pinhole region, and at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the imaging pinhole on the substrate is disposed in the pinhole region;

[0092] The orthographic projection of the first protective layer on the base substrate at least covers the pinhole area;

[0093] The display substrate further includes a buffer layer disposed between the first protection layer and the thin film transistor array layer.

[0094] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the base substrate may be a flexible substrate, for example, a PI (polyimide) substrate, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0095] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the light shielding layer may be made of metal material, but is not limited thereto.

[0096] The display substrate described in at least one embodiment of the present invention sets at least a part of the positive projection of the imaging hole included in the light-shielding layer on the base substrate within the first area, so that the imaging hole will not be blocked by the metal film layer included in the thin-film transistor array layer, thereby enabling good fingerprint recognition. In addition, the display substrate described in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a first protective layer between the light-shielding layer and the thin-film transistor array layer to effectively prevent plasma from gathering on the light-shielding layer, prevent the arc from breaking through the light-shielding layer, and improve the fingerprint recognition effect.

[0097] In the related art, when manufacturing a display substrate, after depositing the light-shielding layer, it is necessary to continue to deposit the semiconductor layer and the inorganic layer. Because the semiconductor layer and the inorganic layer are deposited using a high-temperature and high-frequency film-forming process, plasma aggregation will form on the surface of the light-shielding metal layer, and then an arc will break through the light-shielding layer to form light leakage holes on the light-shielding layer, causing weak light leakage and affecting the fingerprint recognition effect. Based on this, the display substrate described in at least one embodiment of the present invention sets at least a part of the positive projection of the imaging holes included in the light-shielding layer on the base substrate within the first area, and a first protective layer is provided between the light-shielding layer and the thin-film transistor array layer.

[0098] In a specific implementation, the orthographic projection of the first protective layer on the base substrate covers at least a portion of the first area, thereby preventing the portion of the light-shielding layer corresponding to the first area from being punctured by an electric arc to produce light leakage holes, thereby preventing stray light passing through the light leakage holes from affecting the fingerprint imaging effect.

[0099] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the first region may include a pinhole region, and at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the imaging pinhole on the substrate is disposed in the pinhole region.

[0100] In a specific implementation, the orthographic projection of the first protection layer on the base substrate at least covers the small hole area.

[0101] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the buffer layer may be made of silicon nitride, silicon oxide or polysilicon, but is not limited thereto.

[0102] In a specific implementation, the thickness of the buffer layer may be greater than or equal to 200 nanometers and less than or equal to 600 nanometers, but is not limited thereto.

[0103] like Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the related display substrate, the first protective layer is not provided; Figure 1 In the invention, the base substrate comprises a first base substrate P1 and a second base substrate P2;

[0104] A fingerprint recognition layer S0 is provided on a side of the first substrate P1 facing away from the second substrate P2;

[0105] A first barrier film layer B1 is provided between the first substrate P1 and the second substrate P2;

[0106] A second barrier film layer B2 is provided between the second substrate P2 and the light shielding layer S1;

[0107] The light shielding layer S1 includes a first imaging pinhole H1;

[0108] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment of the related display substrate shown, the thin film transistor array layer includes an active layer AT1, a first gate metal layer G1, a second gate metal layer G2, a first gate insulating layer GI1, a second gate insulating layer GI2, a third insulating layer GI3 and a source-drain metal layer Sd arranged in sequence; wherein the metal film layer in the thin film transistor array layer includes: a first gate metal layer G1, a second gate metal layer G2 and a source-drain metal layer Sd;

[0109] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment of the related display substrate shown, a buffer layer Bf is provided between the light shielding layer S1 and the thin film transistor array layer, a planarization layer Pn is provided above the source and drain metal layer Sd, and an anode layer An is provided on the planarization layer Pn;

[0110] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment of the related display substrate shown, the anode layer An may be made of metal, for example, may be made of silver, but not limited thereto.

[0111] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment of the related display substrate shown, the light shielding layer S1 may be a metal layer. The light shielding layer S1 may be made of a metal material. The pattern of the metal layer may include a signal line, but is not limited thereto.

[0112] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment of the related display substrate shown, the third insulating layer GI3 may be an interlayer insulating layer, but is not limited thereto.

[0113] exist Figure 1 In the figure, only the first imaging pinhole H1 is shown. In actual operation, the light shielding layer S1 includes a plurality of imaging pinholes.

[0114] exist Figure 1 In the figure, the dotted line shows the light passing through the first imaging pinhole H1.

[0115] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment of the related display substrate shown in FIG. 1 , the first imaging pinhole H1 allows light to enter the fingerprint recognition layer S0 through the first imaging pinhole H1 so as to perform fingerprint recognition. However, after depositing the light shielding layer S1, it is necessary to continue to deposit the semiconductor layer and the inorganic layer (wherein the semiconductor layer may be, for example, an active layer, and the inorganic layer may be, for example, a buffer layer), and because the deposition of the semiconductor layer and the inorganic layer adopts a high-temperature and high-frequency film-forming process, plasma aggregation will be formed on the surface of the light shielding metal layer, and then the light shielding metal layer will be formed. Figure 2 As shown, the electric arc breaks through the light shielding layer to form a light leakage hole H0 on the light shielding layer, causing weak light leakage. After the light leakage is detected by the fingerprint recognition sensor included in the fingerprint recognition layer S0, it will affect the fingerprint recognition effect.

[0116] Based on this, in the embodiment of the present invention, after depositing the light shielding layer, the first protective layer is deposited before Multi deposition (multi-layer deposition refers to the simultaneous deposition of an inorganic layer and a semiconductor layer), which can effectively prevent the arc from breaking through the light shielding layer.

[0117] exist Figure 2 In the figure, the dotted line shows the light, which includes: the light passing through the first imaging pinhole H1, and the light passing through the light leakage pinhole H0. Preferably, the film forming temperature of the first protective layer is less than the threshold temperature;

[0119] In actual operation, the threshold temperature may be adjusted accordingly according to actual conditions.

[0120] In a preferred case, the first protective layer is a low-temperature protective layer. After the light shielding layer is deposited, the first protective layer is formed by a low-temperature process, and then a high-temperature and high-power film is formed. The first protective layer can effectively prevent plasma from gathering on the light shielding layer to prevent arc breakdown. The specific film forming conditions depend on the imaging clarity and process requirements.

[0150] And, in making Figure 3 In at least one embodiment of the display panel shown, after the light-shielding layer S1 is deposited, a first protective layer P0 is formed by a low-temperature process, and then a high-temperature and high-power film is formed on the first protective layer P0. The first protective layer P0 can effectively prevent plasma from gathering on the light-shielding layer S1, prevent the arc from breaking through the light-shielding layer S1 and forming small light leakage holes, thereby improving the clarity of fingerprint recognition.

[0151] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, a first protective layer P0 is formed by a low-temperature process, and then a high-temperature and high-power film is formed on the first protective layer P0. Since the film forming temperatures and / or film forming powers of the two film layers are different, there will be a more obvious interface between the two film layers.

[0152] In the making Figure 3 In at least one embodiment of the display panel shown, the film forming temperature of the first protection layer P0 may be less than 230 degrees Celsius, but is not limited thereto.

[0158] When the cathode layer 42 is touched by a finger, the light directed toward the finger emitted by the organic light-emitting layer 41 is reflected by the finger to form downward light, which passes through the imaging holes included in the light-shielding layer S1 and is emitted to the fingerprint recognition layer S0. The fingerprint recognition layer S0 detects the light and performs fingerprint recognition.

Instead, the orthographic projection of the imaging pinhole on the substrate may be close to the other area.

After the light shielding layer is deposited, the first protective layer is formed by a low-temperature process, and then a high-temperature and high-power film is formed. The first protective layer can effectively prevent plasma from gathering on the light shielding layer to prevent arc breakdown. The specific film forming conditions depend on the imaging clarity and process requirements.
