[0069] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0070] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and other forms thereof, such as the third person singular form "comprises" and the present participle form "comprising", are to be interpreted as open, inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example", "specific example" or "some examples" and the like are intended to indicate that specific features, structures, materials or characteristics associated with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. The schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.

[0071] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0072] When describing some embodiments, the expressions "coupled" and "connected" and their derivatives may be used. For example, when describing some embodiments, the term "connected" may be used to indicate that two or more components are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other. For another example, when describing some embodiments, the term "coupled" may be used to indicate that two or more components are in direct physical or electrical contact. However, the term "coupled" or "communicatively coupled" may also refer to two or more components that are not in direct contact with each other, but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the contents of this document.

[0073] “At least one of A, B, and C” has the same meaning as “at least one of A, B, or C” and both include the following combinations of A, B, and C: A only, B only, C only, the combination of A and B, the combination of A and C, the combination of B and C, and the combination of A, B, and C.

[0074] “A and / or B” includes the following three combinations: A only, B only, and a combination of A and B.

[0075] The use of "adapted to" or "configured to" herein is meant to be open and inclusive language that does not exclude devices adapted or configured to perform additional tasks or steps.

[0076] Additionally, the use of “based on” is meant to be open and inclusive, as a process, step, calculation, or other action “based on” one or more stated conditions or values ​​may, in practice, be based on additional conditions or values ​​beyond those stated.

[0077] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views and / or plan views that are idealized exemplary drawings. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and regions are exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, variations in shape relative to the drawings due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances are conceivable. Therefore, the exemplary embodiments should not be interpreted as being limited to the shapes of the regions shown herein, but include shape deviations due to, for example, manufacturing. For example, an etched region shown as a rectangle will typically have curved features. Therefore, the regions shown in the drawings are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the actual shape of regions of the device, and are not intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.

[0078] The display device includes a display substrate and an optical sensor. Taking a mobile phone as an example, the display device includes optical sensors such as a camera, a proximity light sensor, and a 3D sensing module. These optical components need to receive light from the display surface side of the display device to achieve corresponding functions. In the display device, it is usually necessary to open a hole in the display substrate to embed the optical sensor in the display substrate.

[0079] The display substrate includes a display area and a frame area located on at least one side of the display area. In some embodiments, the holes opened in the display substrate by the opening technology include two types: punch holes and blind holes. Both the punch holes and the blind holes are opened in the display area. The advantage of the through-hole design is that there is no film layer at the opening to block the optical sensor, so the light transmittance is high, which is suitable for placing devices with high transmittance requirements such as cameras. At the blind hole, a transparent film layer is still retained at the actual opening. The transmittance of the blind hole is lower than the transmittance of the through hole without a film layer, but higher than the transmittance of the display area of ​​the display substrate. It is usually used to place components with slightly lower transmittance requirements, such as light sensors.

[0080] In the preparation process of the display substrate, it is necessary to cut the stacked multiple film layers to form through holes. Therefore, the through hole design needs to add a packaging structure around the through hole to ensure the reliability of the product. The packaging structure has a large size and occupies a part of the space, thereby reducing the area of ​​the display area, which is not conducive to improving the screen-to-body ratio. Therefore, the number of through holes opened in the display area is limited; while the blind hole design does not require a packaging structure to be set around the blind hole, and will not occupy too much area of ​​the display area. At present, the inventor has found that the relevant products are only provided with through holes or only with blind holes. For display products that are only provided with through holes, the through hole position is only used to place optical sensors with higher transmittance requirements such as cameras, and the remaining optical sensors need to be placed in the frame area of ​​the display substrate, occupying the frame size, which is not conducive to the narrowing of the frame of the display substrate. For display products that are only provided with blind holes, if an optical sensor with higher transmittance requirements is set in the blind hole, the working effect of the optical sensor will be affected due to the loss of transmittance, for example, causing the camera imaging quality to be slightly poor.

[0081] Based on this, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate and a display device, in which through holes and blind holes are simultaneously arranged in the display substrate. By combining the design of through holes and blind holes, the advantages of the transmittance of through holes and the advantages of blind holes that do not require a packaging structure, the screen-to-body ratio of the display substrate is increased and the border is reduced without losing the working effect of the optical sensor.

[0082] like Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate 100, which can be, for example, an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display substrate, a micro organic light-emitting diode (MicroOrganic Light-Emitting Diode, Micro OLED) display substrate, a quantum dot organic light-emitting diode (QuantumDot Light Emitting Diodes, QLED) display substrate, a mini light-emitting diode (Mini Light-Emitting Diode, Mini LED) display substrate or a micro light-emitting diode (Micro Light-Emitting Diode, Micro LED) display substrate, etc.

[0083] The display substrate 100 includes a display area 10a, a frame area 10b, at least one wiring area 10c, at least one through-hole area 10d, and at least one blind hole area 10e, wherein the at least one wiring area 10c surrounds one through-hole area 10d or one blind hole area 10e, each wiring area 10c surrounds one through-hole area 10d or one blind hole area 10e, and the display area 10a surrounds the wiring area 10c. That is, the number of the wiring areas 10c is equal to the sum of the number of the at least one through-hole area 10d and the at least one blind hole area 10e.

[0084] Among them, each wiring area 10c surrounds a through hole area 10d or a blind hole area 10e, which means that each wiring area 10c is arranged around a through hole area 10d, or each wiring area 10c is arranged around a blind hole area 10e, and the display area 10a surrounds the wiring area 10c, which means that the display area 10a is located outside the wiring area 10c.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 3 to Figure 5 As shown, the display substrate 100 also includes a hole edge area 10f located between the display area 10a and the at least one wiring area 10c. It can be understood that there is a closed area G1 in the display area 10a. For example, the closed area G1 is in a capsule shape. The closed area G1 includes at least one wiring area 10c, at least one through hole area 10d and at least one blind hole area 10e and a hole edge area 10f, wherein the display area 10a surrounds the hole edge area 10f, the hole edge area 10f surrounds the at least one wiring area 10c, the hole edge area 10f is in contact with the display area 10a and the at least one wiring area 10c, each wiring area 10c surrounds a through hole area 10d or a blind hole area 10e, and the frame area 10b surrounds the display area 10a.

[0086] The display substrate 100 includes a plurality of sub-pixels and a plurality of signal lines, wherein each through-hole area 10b is provided with a through-hole, each blind-hole area 10c is provided with a blind-hole, at least one wiring area 10c is used to set a signal line, and only a signal line is set without setting a sub-pixel and any structure in the sub-pixel, and a plurality of signal lines are densely arranged in at least one wiring area 10c. The display area 10a is used to set a plurality of sub-pixels, each of which includes a pixel structure, so that the display area 10a can display, and the hole edge area 10f is used to set a plurality of redundant pixel structures, and the hole edge area 10f cannot display. Of course, the plurality of signal lines included in the display substrate 100 are also set in the display area 10a and the hole edge area 10f.

[0087] The number, position, size and shape of at least one through hole area 10d and at least one blind hole area 10e can be set according to actual needs, for example, according to the number of optical sensors with higher transmittance requirements and the number of optical sensors with lower transmittance requirements among the optical sensors included in the display device.

[0088] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the display substrate 100 includes two through-hole areas 10d and one blind hole area 10e, and the blind hole area 10e is arranged between the two through-hole areas 10d, so that the display substrate 100 includes three wiring areas 10c, wherein two wiring areas 10c surround the two through-hole areas 10d respectively, and another wiring area 10c surrounds the blind hole area 10e. In other examples, the blind hole area is not arranged between the through-hole areas, but is arranged on one side of two adjacent through-hole areas.

[0089] against Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to the design, the two cameras can be placed in the two through holes of the two through hole areas 10d respectively, and other optical sensors can be placed in the blind holes of the blind hole area 10e.

[0090] In some embodiments, the shape of the blind hole and the through hole can be circular, rectangular, or other regular or irregular shapes. For example, the shape of the through hole area 10d is circular, elliptical, or a combination of a rectangle and a double semicircle; the shape of the blind hole area 10e is rectangular, rounded rectangle, a combination of rectangles of different widths along the length direction, or a combination of rounded rectangles of different widths along the length direction. Figure 3 As shown, the through hole area 10d is circular in shape, the through holes in the through hole area 10d are circular in shape, the blind hole area 10e is a rounded rectangle in shape, and the blind holes in the blind hole area 10c are also rounded rectangles in shape. Figure 4 As shown, the through hole area 10d is circular in shape, the through holes in the through hole area 10d are circular in shape, and the blind hole area 10e is a shape formed by splicing two rounded rectangles of different widths along their length direction, and the two rounded rectangles of different sizes are spliced ​​to form a shape similar to a milk bottle. Figure 5 As shown, the two through-hole regions 10d are respectively a large through-hole region 10d1 and a small through-hole region 10d2 adjacent to each other. The large through-hole region 10d1 is in the shape of a rounded rectangle, and the small through-hole region 10d2 is in the shape of a circle.

[0091] The dimensions of the through holes and blind holes can be set as required, e.g. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the through hole or blind hole is circular, its diameter can be in the range of 2mm to 4mm. Figure 3As shown, the diameter of the circular through hole can be in the range of 2 mm to 4 mm, and the length and width dimensions of the irregular-shaped blind hole need to be matched with the dimensions of the circular through hole as required. Figure 5 As shown, the length of the large through hole area 10d1 can be in the range of 9mm to 10mm, and the width can be 4mm; the diameter of the small through hole area 10d2 can be 4mm. The left part of the large through hole area 10d1 can be used to place a camera, and the right part can be used to place an optical sensor.

[0092] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the display substrate 100 further includes at least one encapsulation area 10g, each encapsulation area 10g is located between a through-hole area 10d and a wiring area 10c surrounding the through-hole area 10d, and surrounds the through-hole area 10d, that is, the number of encapsulation areas 10g is equal to the number of through-hole areas 10d. When the through-hole area 10d is circular in shape, the corresponding encapsulation area 10g is annular in shape. A packaging structure is arranged in each encapsulation area 10g, and the packaging structure is arranged around the through-hole area 10d.

[0093] In some examples, each packaging area 10g includes a packaging dam area 10g3, that is, the display substrate 100 includes at least one packaging dam area 10g3, each packaging dam area 10g3 is located between a through hole area 10d and a wiring area 10c surrounding the through hole area 10d, and surrounds the through hole area 10d. Each packaging dam area 10g3 is provided with at least one packaging dam, and each packaging dam is provided around the through hole area 10d.

[0094] In some examples, each encapsulation region 10g further includes a first isolation region 10g1 and a second isolation region 10g2, that is, the display substrate 100 further includes at least one first isolation region 10g1 and at least one second isolation region 10g2; each first isolation region 10g1 is located between a wiring region 10c and a encapsulation dam region 10g3, and surrounds the encapsulation dam region 10g3; each second isolation region 10g2 is located between a through hole region 10d and a encapsulation dam region 10g3, and surrounds the through hole region 10d. Each first isolation region 10g1 is provided with at least one first isolation column, and each second isolation region 10g2 is provided with at least one second isolation column.

[0095] The at least one packaging dam, the at least one first isolation column and the at least one second isolation column constitute a packaging structure.

[0096] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, along the center of a through hole area 10d toward the outside, a second isolation area 10g2, a packaging dam area 10g3, a first isolation area 10g1 and a wiring area 10c are sequentially arranged around it.

[0097] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, for the spacing between the through hole area 10d and the blind hole area 10e, and as Figure 5 As shown, when setting the spacing between two adjacent through-hole areas 10d, it is necessary to ensure that space in the packaging area 10g is reserved to set up the packaging structure.

[0098] In summary, if Figure 6 As shown, in the display substrate 100 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting at least one through hole area 10d and at least one blind hole area 10e, a through hole is set in the through hole area 10d, and a blind hole is set in the blind hole area 10e, so that the through hole and the blind hole are set in the display substrate 100 at the same time. In this way, through the design of the combination of the through hole and the blind hole, the optical sensor 200 with a higher transmittance requirement such as a camera can be placed in the through hole, and the optical sensor 300 with a lower transmittance requirement such as an infrared sensor, a proximity light sensor, a floodlight illuminator, and an ambient light sensor can be placed in the blind hole, so that the optical requirements of different optical sensors can be met, for example, the imaging quality of the camera can be improved. Since the blind hole does not need to be provided with a packaging structure, and does not need to be provided with a packaging area corresponding to the blind hole area, compared with the through hole design, the area of ​​the closed area does not need to be too large, so that the area of ​​the display area 10a can be guaranteed, and the integrity of the display screen is guaranteed, and the optical sensor does not need to be set in the frame area, and the size of the frame area can be reduced, which is conducive to narrowing the frame of the display substrate and improving the screen ratio of the display substrate.

[0099] like Figure 6 As shown, an optical sensor 200 requiring high light transmittance, such as a camera, can be arranged on a side of the display substrate away from the driving circuit layer, facing the through hole, and can extend into the through hole; an optical sensor 300 with lower light transmittance, such as an infrared sensor, a proximity light sensor, a flood illuminator, and an ambient light sensor, can be arranged on a side of the display substrate, facing the blind hole, and the optical sensor 300 with high light transmittance and the optical sensor 300 with lower light transmittance are arranged on the same side of the display substrate 100.

[0100] In the following embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The arrangement of the through hole area 10d and the blind hole area 10e is taken as an example to introduce the specific structure of the display substrate 100.

[0101] Among them, Figure 1As shown, the display substrate 100 includes a display area 10a, and the display area 10a has a closed area G1. The display substrate 100 includes two through-hole areas 10d, a blind hole area 10e, two second isolation areas 10g2, two packaging dam areas 10g3, two first isolation areas 10g1, three wiring areas 10c and a hole edge area 10f located in the closed area G1. The blind hole area 10e is located between the two through-hole areas 10d. Each through-hole area 10d is circular in shape. Around a through-hole area 10d, a wiring area 10c, a second isolation area 10g2, a packaging dam area 10g3 and a first isolation area 10g1 are sequentially arranged. The wiring area 10c, the second isolation area 10g2, the packaging dam area 10g3 and the first isolation area 10g1 are all in the shape of a ring, and a wiring area 10c in the middle surrounds the blind hole area 10e. The areas within the closed area G1 except for two through-hole areas 10d, one blind hole area 10e, two second isolation areas 10g2, two package dam areas 10g3, two first isolation areas 10g1 and two wiring areas 10c are all hole edge areas 10f.

[0102] The overall circuit structure of the display substrate is first introduced below.

[0103] like Figure 2 As shown, 1001 represents the overall outer contour of the display substrate 100; the display substrate includes a display area (i.e., a pixel array area) 10a and a peripheral area 10b located around the display area 10a. The display substrate 100 includes a plurality of sub-pixels P located in the display area 10a, a plurality of data lines DL, a plurality of light emitting control signal lines EL, and a plurality of gate driving signal lines GL. Exemplarily, a plurality of sub-pixels P are arranged in an array, for example, a plurality of sub-pixels P are arranged in M ​​rows and N columns, a plurality of light-emitting control signal lines EL and a plurality of gate drive signal lines GL are extended along a first direction X, for example, a plurality of light-emitting control signal lines EL are E1-EM (M is an integer greater than 1), a plurality of gate drive signal lines GL are G1-GM (M is an integer greater than 1), a plurality of data lines DL are extended along a second direction Y, for example, a plurality of data lines DL are D1-DN (N is an integer greater than 1), each control signal line EL is electrically connected to a row of sub-pixels P, a gate drive signal line GL is electrically connected to a row of sub-pixels P, and each data line DL is electrically connected to a column of sub-pixels P. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect, and the angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y is, for example, 90°.

[0104] The display substrate 100 further includes a gate driving circuit 101 and a light emitting control circuit 102 located in the peripheral area 10b. The gate driving circuit 101 includes a plurality of cascaded shift registers 1011, for example, the plurality of shift registers 1011 are respectively arranged on both sides of the display area 10a, and the shift registers 1011 of the same level are electrically connected to a gate driving signal line GL. The gate driving circuit 101 is configured to provide, for example, a gate scanning signal shifted row by row to the plurality of sub-pixels P. The light emitting control circuit 102 includes a plurality of cascaded light emitting control units 1021, for example, the plurality of light emitting control units 1021 are respectively arranged on both sides of the display area 10a, and the light emitting control units 1021 of the same level are electrically connected to a plurality of light emitting control signal lines EL, and the light emitting control circuit 102 is configured to provide, for example, a light emitting control signal shifted row by row to the plurality of sub-pixels P.

[0105] The plurality of data lines DL are electrically connected to the source driver 103 , and the source driver 103 is configured to provide data signals to the plurality of sub-pixels P through the plurality of data lines DL.

[0106] Each sub-pixel P includes a pixel structure 1, and each pixel structure 1 includes a pixel circuit 11 and a light-emitting device 12; illustratively, the pixel circuit 11 may be a circuit structure having 7T1C, 8T2C or 4T1C in the art, and the light-emitting device 12 may be, for example, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED). The pixel circuit 11 operates under the control of a data signal transmitted through a data line DL, a gate scanning signal transmitted through a gate drive signal line GL, and a light-emitting control signal transmitted through a light-emitting control signal line EL, so as to drive the light-emitting element to emit light, thereby realizing operations such as display.

[0107] It should be noted that, for the convenience of description, Figure 2 The overall circuit structure of the display substrate shown and the above description are explained by taking the case where the closed area G1 is not provided in the display area 10a as an example. In the case where the closed area G1 is not provided in the display area 10a, the plurality of data lines DL, the plurality of light-emitting control signal lines EL and the plurality of gate drive signal lines GL need to avoid the through hole area 10d and the blind hole area 10e. No sub-pixel P capable of emitting light is provided in the closed area G1.

[0108] The film structure of the display panel 100 is described below.

[0109] like Figure 7 As shown, the display substrate 100 includes: a base substrate 2 and a driving circuit layer 3 arranged on the base substrate 2 .

[0110] It should be noted that the preparation of the through holes and openings in the display substrate 100 is usually to complete the preparation of all the film layer structures included in the display substrate 100, and then remove the film layers in the corresponding areas. For example, all the stacked layers in the through hole area 10d are cut and all the film layers in the through hole area 10d are removed, or part of the stacked layers in the blind hole area 10e are cut and part of the film layers in the blind hole area 10e are removed. Figure 7 The cross-sectional view of the display substrate 100 shown is a structural view of the display substrate 100 before the cutting step, and the portion to be cut and removed is marked in the figure.

[0111] The base substrate 2 has an opening in the through hole area 10d. For example, when the display substrate 100 includes two through hole areas 10d, the base substrate 2 has two openings. Exemplarily, the base substrate 2 includes a stacked substrate 21 and a buffer layer 22. And the base substrate 2 can be other composite base substrates. For example, the base substrate 2 is a flexible substrate.

[0112] The driving circuit layer 3 includes at least one metal layer 31 and at least one insulating layer 32 .

[0113] Among them, at least one insulating layer 32 is located in the display area 10a, the wiring area 10c and the blind hole area 10e; the material of at least one insulating layer 32 is a light-transmitting material to ensure the light transmittance of the blind hole area 10e.

[0114] In some embodiments, at least one insulating layer 32 is also located in the hole edge region 10 f and the packaging region 10 .

[0115] At least one metal layer 31 is located in the display area 10a and the wiring area 10c. In some examples, at least one metal layer 31 is also located in the hole edge area 10f. Figure 8A to Figure 8C As shown, the at least one metal layer 21 includes a plurality of signal lines, for example, the plurality of signal lines are a plurality of data lines DL, a plurality of light emitting control signal lines EL, a plurality of gate driving signal lines GL and a plurality of initialization signal lines VINT.

[0116] The at least one metal layer 31 is not disposed in the blind hole area 10e to avoid blocking light and affecting the light transmittance of the blind hole area 10e. The plurality of signal lines are disposed away from the through hole area 10d and the blind hole area 10e.

[0117] Exemplarily, the arrangement of the plurality of signal lines avoiding the through-hole area 10d and the blind-hole area 10e includes: at least a portion of at least one of the plurality of signal lines is routed around the through-hole area 10d and / or the blind-hole area 10e to avoid the through-hole area 10d and the blind-hole area 10e. Alternatively, at least one of the plurality of signal lines is cut off at a position passing through the through-hole area 10d and / or the blind-hole area 10e to avoid the through-hole area 10d and the blind-hole area 10e.

[0118] In some examples, such as Figure 8A to Figure 8C As shown, the plurality of data lines DL extend as a whole along the second direction Y, and the plurality of light emitting control signal lines EL, the plurality of gate driving signal lines GL and the plurality of initialization signal lines VINT extend as a whole along the first direction X. The extension direction of the plurality of signal lines in the present disclosure refers to the overall extension trend of the plurality of signal lines, that is, the overall direction of the plurality of signal lines is along a certain direction, and is not affected by the fact that a portion of the signal lines located in the closed area G1 is arranged around the through hole area 10d and / or the blind hole area 10e.

[0119] The following description is based on the assumption that two through hole regions 10d and one blind hole region 10e are arranged along the first direction X.

[0120] like Fig. 8A , Figures 9 to 11 As shown, at least one data line DL includes a portion located in the wiring area 10c and arranged around the through-hole area 10d and / or arranged around the blind hole area 10e, and the other portions of this data line DL are located in the display area 10a and the wiring area 10f. For example, in the case of no hole digging, a plurality of data lines DL that should have passed through the closed area G1 in a straight line along the second direction Y need to be arranged around the through-hole area 10d or around the blind hole area 10e to avoid the through-hole area 10d and the blind hole area 10e. At least one data line DL includes a portion arranged around the through-hole area 10d, and the portion is an arc. Since the encapsulation area 10g is arranged around the through-hole area 10d, the portion of the data line DL arranged around the through-hole area 10d is actually arranged around the encapsulation area 10g. At least one data line DL includes a portion arranged around the blind hole area 10e, and the portion is a combination of an arc and a straight line.

[0121] Except for at least one data line DL passing through the closed area G1 , other data lines DL are disposed in the display area 10 a , and each data line DL extends along the second direction Y and straightly passes through the display area 10 a .

[0122] like Fig. 8A , Figures 9 to 11As shown, at least one initialization signal line VINT includes a portion located in the wiring area 10c and arranged around the through-hole area 10d and / or arranged around the blind-hole area 10e, and the other portion of this initialization signal line VINT is located in the display area 10a and the wiring area 10f. For example, the initialization signal line VINT that should have passed through the closed area G1 in a straight line along the first direction X without digging a hole needs to be arranged around the through-hole area 10d and around the blind-hole area 10e to avoid the through-hole area 10d and the blind-hole area 10e, and at least one light-emitting control signal line EL includes a portion arranged around the through-hole area 10d and a portion arranged around the blind-hole area 10e. Since a packaging area 10g is arranged around the through-hole area 10d, the portion of the initialization signal line VINT that runs around the through-hole area 10d actually runs around the packaging area 10g. This portion successively runs around the packaging area 10g around the first through-hole area 10d, around the blind hole area 10e, and then around the packaging area 10g around the second through-hole area 10d.

[0123] Except for at least one initialization signal line VINT passing through the closed area G1 , other initialization signal lines VINT are disposed in the display area 10 a , and each initialization signal line VINT extends along the first direction X and passes straight through the display area 10 a .

[0124] like Fig. 8A , Figures 9 to 11 As shown, at least one gate drive signal line GL includes a portion located in the wiring area 10c and arranged around the through hole area 10d and / or a portion arranged around the blind hole area 10e, and the other portion of this gate drive signal line GL is located in the display area 10a and the wiring area 10f. For example, the gate drive signal line GL that should originally go straight through the closed area G1 along the first direction X without digging a hole needs to go around the through-hole area 10d and the blind-hole area 10e to avoid the through-hole area 10d and the blind-hole area 10e. At least one gate drive signal line GL includes a portion that goes around the through-hole area 10d and a portion that goes around the blind-hole area 10e. Since a packaging area 10g is provided around the through-hole area 10d, the portion of the gate drive signal line GL that goes around the through-hole area 10d actually goes around the packaging area 10g. This portion successively goes around the packaging area 10g around the first through-hole area 10d, goes around the blind-hole area 10e, and then goes around the packaging area 10g around the second through-hole area 10d.

[0125] Except for at least one gate driving signal line GL passing through the closed area G1 , other gate driving signal lines GL are disposed in the display area 10 a , and each gate driving signal line GL extends along the first direction X and passes straight through the display area 10 a .

[0126] For the light emission control signal line EL, in some embodiments, as Figure 8B As shown, at least one light-emitting control signal line EL includes a portion located in the wiring area 10c and arranged around the through-hole area 10d and / or a portion arranged around the blind-hole area 10e, and the other portion of the light-emitting control signal line EL is located in the display area 10a and the wiring area 10f. For example, the light-emitting control signal line EL that should originally pass through the closed area G1 in a straight line along the first direction X without digging a hole needs to be arranged around the through-hole area 10d and around the blind-hole area 10e, and at least one light-emitting control signal line EL includes a portion arranged around the through-hole area 10d and a portion arranged around the blind-hole area 10e. Since the through-hole area 10d is surrounded by a packaging area 10g, the portion of the light-emitting control signal line EL arranged around the through-hole area 10d is actually arranged around the packaging area 10g, and the portion is arranged around the packaging area 10g around the first through-hole area 10d, around the blind-hole area 10e, and then around the packaging area 10g around the second through-hole area 10d.

[0127] In other embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 8C , Figures 9 to 11 As shown, at least one light emitting control signal line EL includes portions located in the display area 10a and the hole edge area 10c, and is cut off at a position extending to the through hole area 10d and the blind hole area 10e along the first direction X. The light emitting control signal line EL does not include a portion located in the wiring area 10c.

[0128] like Figure 4 and Figure 8C As shown in FIG. 1 , the light-emitting control signal line EL, which should have passed through the closed area G1 in the first direction X without drilling holes, is cut off at the position where it extends to the through hole area 10d and the blind hole area 10e. Figure 4 and Figure 8C In FIG. 1 , the thin dotted line indicates the light control signal line EL that should originally pass through the closed area G1 along the first direction X, and the thick solid line indicates the truncated light control signal line EL. It can be seen that the light control signal line EL is truncated into multiple parts.

[0129] For example, Figure 4 and Figure 8C As shown, among the at least one light emitting control signal line EL passing through the closed area G1, each light emitting control signal line EL includes a first light emitting control signal line EL1 and a second light emitting control signal line EL2. Fig.11As shown, the first light-emitting control signal line EL1 of each light-emitting control signal line EL is located in the display area 10a and the hole edge area 10f. The first light-emitting control signal line EL1 extends from both sides of the display area 10a to the middle along the first direction X, and is terminated at a position close to the wiring area 10c around the through hole area 10d. Fig.10 As shown, the second light-emitting control signal line EL2 of each light-emitting control signal line EL is located in the wiring area 10f between the adjacent through-hole area 10d and the blind hole area 10e, and the length of the second light-emitting control signal line EL2 is relatively short. The second light-emitting control signal line EL2 extends along the first direction X and both ends thereof are terminated at a position close to the wiring area 10c.

[0130] Each light-emitting control signal line EL is electrically connected to the light-emitting control circuit 102 located in the border area 10b through the first light-emitting control signal line EL1, and transmits the light-emitting control signal to control the sub-pixels of the display area 10a for display. The second light-emitting control signal line EL2 is not electrically connected to the light-emitting control circuit 102, so the light-emitting control signal line EL has no electrical signal transmission. Since the hole edge area 10f itself does not have a display function, this design will not affect the overall display effect of the display substrate 100.

[0131] Except for at least one light emitting control signal line EL passing through the closed area G1 , other light emitting control signal lines EL are disposed in the display area 10 a , and each light emitting control signal line EL extends along the first direction X and straightly passes through the display area 10 a .

[0132] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the plurality of signal lines passing through the closed area G1 can be arranged at the original intervals in the display area 10 a , the plurality of signal lines are arranged more densely in the wiring area 10 c .

[0133] In some embodiments, Figure 7 , Figure 14B to Figure 18 As shown, the at least one metal layer 31 includes a first gate layer 311 , a second gate layer 312 and a source-drain metal layer 313 ; the at least one insulating layer 32 includes a first insulating layer 321 , a second insulating layer 322 and an interlayer insulating layer 323 .

[0134] The driving circuit layer 3 further includes a semiconductor layer 33 , and the semiconductor layer 33 is located in the hole edge area 10 f and the display area 10 a .

[0135] like Figure 7 , Fig. 14B and Fig.15As shown, the semiconductor layer 33 is arranged on one side of the substrate 2, the first insulating layer 321 is arranged on the side of the semiconductor layer 33 away from the substrate 2, the first gate layer 311 is arranged on the side of the first insulating layer 321 away from the substrate 2; the second insulating layer 322 is arranged on the side of the first gate layer 311 away from the substrate 2; the second gate layer 312 is arranged on the side of the second insulating layer 322 away from the substrate 2; the interlayer insulating layer 323 is arranged on the side of the second gate layer 312 away from the substrate 2; the source-drain metal layer 313 is arranged on the side of the second gate layer 312 away from the substrate 2.

[0136] In some embodiments, the plurality of data lines DL are located in the source-drain metal layer 313. The plurality of light emitting control signal lines EL are located in the first gate layer 311 or the second gate layer 312; the plurality of gate driving signal lines GL are located in the second gate layer 312 or the first gate layer 311. For example, Figure 7 As shown, the plurality of light emitting control signal lines EL and the plurality of gate driving signal lines GL are all located in the first gate layer 311, and the plurality of initialization signal lines VINT are located in the second gate layer 312.

[0137] In some examples, such as Fig. 14B As shown, each data line DL includes a first data line pattern DL1, a second data line pattern DL2 and a third data line pattern DL3 which are stacked in sequence, and materials of the first data line pattern DL1, the second data line pattern DL2 and the third data line pattern DL3 are all metals. For example, the material of the first data line pattern DL1 and the third data line pattern DL3 is titanium, and the material of the second data line pattern DL2 is aluminum. Each data line DL is a titanium-aluminum-titanium structure, thereby improving the anti-oxidation performance of the data line DL while ensuring the conductivity of the data line DL.

[0138] In some embodiments, Fig.11 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the display area 10a is provided with a plurality of pixel structures 1, each pixel structure 1 includes a pixel circuit 11 and a light emitting device 12, and the pixel circuit 11 and the light emitting device 12 are electrically connected. Fig.11 , Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, the hole edge area 10f is provided with a plurality of redundant pixel structures 1', the hole edge area 10f cannot display, and the redundant pixel structure 1' cannot work normally. Each redundant pixel structure 1' includes a redundant pixel circuit 11' and a redundant light-emitting device 12'. The redundant pixel circuit 11' has the same structure as the pixel circuit 11.

In some embodiments, Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, in the hole edge area 10f, the redundant pixel structure 1' includes a pixel circuit 11' and a light-emitting device 12'. The light-emitting device 12' does not include a first electrode. Therefore, the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 in the pixel circuit 11' is not electrically connected to other devices, and the light-emitting device 12' does not emit light, so that the hole edge area 10f does not display.

[0167] In some embodiments, each thin film transistor T includes an active layer t1, a gate t2, a source t3, and a drain t4. The active layer t1 is located in the semiconductor layer 33, the gate t2 is located in the first gate layer 311, and the source t3 and the drain t4 are located in the source-drain metal layer 313.

Figure 15 to Figure 18 The thin film transistor in the cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 1 may be considered as the sixth transistor T6 in the pixel circuit 11 or the redundant pixel circuit 11 ′.

[0168] like Fig.15 As shown, the storage capacitor Cst may include a first electrode plate c1 and a second electrode plate c2. The first electrode plate c1 is located in the first gate layer 311 and is arranged on the same layer as the gate t2 of the thin film transistor T, and multiple light-emitting control signal lines EL and multiple gate driving signal lines GL. The second electrode plate c2 is located in the second gate layer 312 and is arranged on the same layer as the multiple initialization signal lines VINT, and the first electrode plate c1 and the second electrode plate c2 are arranged opposite to each other.

The source electrode 210 and the drain electrode 211 of the thin film transistor T may include metal materials or alloy materials, such as a metal single layer or multilayer structure formed by molybdenum, aluminum and titanium, for example, the multilayer structure is a multi-metal layer stack, such as titanium, aluminum, titanium (Al / Ti / Al) three-layer metal stack, etc.

[0170] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the hole edge area 10f includes a first sub-area 10f1 close to the wiring area 10c, and a second sub-area 10f2 other than the first sub-area 10f1. The first sub-area 10f1 is located outside the second sub-area 10f2. Each thin film transistor T in the pixel circuit 11' of the multiple redundant pixel structures 1' is arranged in 10f2, and the space of the first sub-area 10f1 is narrow, and the thin film transistor T cannot be arranged.

A plurality of redundant pixel structures 1' are arranged in the second sub-region 10f2 of the hole edge region 10f, and the source t3 and the drain t4 of each thin film transistor T of the plurality of redundant pixel structures 1' are electrically connected to its active layer t1 through the via K2.

[0174] Each redundant via hole K3 penetrates the first insulating layer 321, the second insulating layer 322, and the interlayer insulating layer 323. A portion of the planarization layer 5 fills the plurality of redundant via holes K3.

[0175] In some examples, the size of multiple redundant vias K3 can be set according to the spatial size of the first sub-area 10f1, and the number may not be limited. The purpose of setting multiple redundant vias K3 is to balance the difference in density of vias K in the hole edge area 10f and the display area 10a, and to ensure uniform characteristics of the thin film transistors.

[0176] The structure provided in the packaging area 10g of the display substrate 100 is described below.

[0177] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the display substrate 100 further includes at least one encapsulation dam area 10g3, each encapsulation dam area 10g3 is located between a through hole area 10d and a wiring area 10c surrounding the through hole area 10d, and surrounds the through hole area 10d. Exemplarily, the display substrate 100 includes two encapsulation dam areas 10g3, each encapsulation dam area 10g3 surrounding a through hole area 10d.

[0178] The first insulating layer 321 , the second insulating layer 322 and the interlayer insulating layer 323 are also located in the at least one encapsulation dam region 10g3 .

[0180] In the case where at least two encapsulation dams 6 are provided in each encapsulation dam area 10g3, the at least two encapsulation dams 6 are sequentially spaced apart along the radial direction of the through hole area 10d.

[0181] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, at least one encapsulation dam 6 disposed in each encapsulation dam area 10g3 includes a first encapsulation dam 61 and a second encapsulation dam 62, and the first encapsulation dam 61 is located on a side 10d of the second encapsulation dam 62 away from the through hole area.

[0182] The thickness of the second encapsulation dam 62 along the third direction Z is greater than the thickness of the first encapsulation dam 61 along the third direction Z; wherein the third direction Z is perpendicular to the base substrate 2 .

[0183] For example, Figure 7 As shown, the second encapsulation dam 62 includes a first portion 62a, a second portion 62b and a first spacer portion 62c, wherein the first portion 62a is disposed on the same layer as the planarization layer 5. The second portion 62b is disposed on a side of the first portion 62a away from the base substrate 2, and the second portion 62b is disposed on the same layer as the pixel defining layer 44. The first spacer portion 62c is disposed on a side of the second portion 62b away from the base substrate 2.

[0184] The first encapsulation dam 61 includes a third portion 61a and a second spacer portion 61b. The third portion 61a is disposed on the same layer as the pixel defining layer 44; the second spacer portion 61b is disposed on a side of the third portion 61a away from the base substrate 2, and the second spacer portion 61b is made of the same material as the first spacer portion 62c and disposed on the same layer.

[0185] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer in the functional layer 42 and the second electrode layer 43 are also located in the packaging dam area 10g3, and the functional layer 42 and the second electrode layer 43 are sequentially stacked on the side of the multiple packaging dams 6 away from the base substrate 2.

[0186] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the display substrate 100 further includes at least one first isolation region 10g1 and at least one second isolation region 10g2. Each first isolation region 10g1 is located between the wiring region and the packaging dam region 10g3, and surrounds the packaging dam region 10g3; each second isolation region 10g2 is located between the through hole region 10d and the packaging dam region 10g3, and surrounds the through hole region 10d. Exemplarily, the display substrate 100 includes two first isolation regions 10g1 and two second isolation regions 10g2.

[0187] The first insulating layer 321 , the second insulating layer 322 , and the interlayer insulating layer 323 are also located in the at least one first isolation region 10g1 and the at least one second isolation region 10g2 .

[0188] like Figure 7 , Fig.19 and Fig. 20As shown, the display substrate 100 further includes: a plurality of first isolation columns 7 and a plurality of second isolation columns 8 .

[0189] Each first isolation region 10g1 is provided with at least one first isolation column 7, and each first isolation column 7 is arranged around the first packaging dam 61. When at least two first isolation columns 7 are provided in each first isolation region 10g1, the at least two first isolation columns 7 are arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the radial direction of the through-hole region 10d.

[0190] Each second isolation region 10g2 is provided with at least one second isolation column 8, and each second isolation column 8 is arranged around the through-hole region 10d. When at least two second isolation columns 8 are provided in each second isolation region 10g2, the at least two second isolation columns 8 are arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the radial direction of the through-hole region 10d.

[0191] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the first isolation column 7 and the second isolation column 8 are arranged on the side of the interlayer insulating layer 323 away from the substrate 2; for example, the first isolation column 7 and the second isolation column 8 are located in the source-drain metal layer 313. The first isolation column 7 and the second isolation column 8 are arranged in the same layer as the plurality of data lines DL.

[0192] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer in the functional layer 42, and the second electrode layer 43 are also located in at least one first isolation region 10g1 and at least one second isolation region 10g2, and the functional layer 42 and the second electrode layer 43 are stacked in sequence on the side of multiple first isolation columns 7 and multiple second isolation columns 8 away from the base substrate 2.

[0193] At least one first spacer column 1c and at least one second spacer column 8 can isolate the organic light-emitting material (materials of the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer) to prevent water and oxygen from invading the light-emitting device. Figure 7 As shown, since at least one first isolation column 7 has a certain thickness and is raised in the display substrate, when the functional layer 42 is formed, the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer of the functional layer 42 will be separated at the first isolation column 7 to make the functional layer 42 discontinuous, thereby preventing water and oxygen entering the functional layer 42 from the through-hole area from invading the light-emitting device in the display area 10a (for example, the light-emitting portion 421 in the light-emitting device) and affecting the display effect.

[0194] As a possible design, Fig.19 and Fig. 20As shown, a groove is provided on the side wall of the first isolation column 7; and a groove is provided on the side wall of the second isolation column 8. Exemplarily, the first isolation column 7 and the second isolation column 8 both include a first metal pattern 8a, a second metal pattern 8b, and a third metal pattern 8c which are sequentially stacked, and the outer boundary of the orthographic projection of the second metal pattern 8b on the substrate 2 is located inside the outer boundary of the orthographic projection of the first metal pattern 8a and the third metal pattern 8c on the substrate 2, so as to form a groove on the side wall of the first isolation column 7 and the side wall of the second isolation column 8.

[0195] In some embodiments, when each data line DL includes a first data line pattern DL1, a second data line pattern DL2, and a third data line pattern DL3 which are sequentially stacked, the first metal pattern 8a is disposed in the same layer as the first data line pattern DL, the second metal pattern 8b is disposed in the same layer as the second data line pattern DL2, and the third metal pattern 8c is disposed in the same layer as the third data line pattern DL3. The materials of the first metal pattern 8a and the third metal pattern 8c are titanium, and the material of the second metal pattern 8b is aluminum, so that each of the first isolation column 7 and the second isolation column 8 is a titanium-aluminum-titanium structure. In this way, the plurality of data lines DL and the first isolation column 7 and the second isolation column 8 can be prepared by the same drawing process, which is conducive to simplifying the process.

[0196] In some embodiments, Fig. 20 As shown, each second isolation region 10g2 is further provided with at least one fourth metal pattern 8d and at least one fifth metal pattern 8e, the fourth metal pattern 8d is located in the first gate layer 311, and the fifth metal pattern 8e is located in the second gate layer 312. Each fourth metal pattern 8d and each fifth metal pattern 8e surrounds the through hole region 10d.

[0197] The orthographic projections of the second isolation column 8, the fourth metal pattern 8d and the fifth metal pattern 8e on the base substrate 2 have a common overlapping area. Exemplarily, the number of at least one fourth metal pattern 8d and the number of at least one fifth metal pattern 8e are equal to the number of at least one second isolation column 8. A fifth metal pattern 8e is disposed directly below each second isolation column 8, and a fourth metal pattern 8d is disposed directly below each fifth metal pattern 8e.

[0198] At least one fourth metal pattern 8d and at least one fifth metal pattern 8e are used to elevate the second isolation column 8 and can also alleviate cracks in the base substrate 2 .

[0199] In some embodiments, Fig.19 As shown, when each first isolation region 10g1 is provided with at least two first isolation pillars 7 , a portion of the driving circuit layer 3 located between two adjacent first isolation pillars 7 has a first groove 1d . Exemplarily, the first groove 1d exposes the base substrate 2 .

[0200] In some examples, after the first insulating layer 321, the second insulating layer 322, and the interlayer insulating layer 323 in the driving circuit layer 3 are prepared, the first insulating layer 321, the second insulating layer 322, and the interlayer insulating layer 323 are removed by an etching process between two adjacent first isolation pillars 7 to form a first trench 1d, so that the base substrate 2 is exposed to form the first trench 1d. In other examples, only the portion of the interlayer insulating layer 323 between two adjacent first isolation pillars 7 may be removed to expose the second insulating layer 322, or only the portion of the interlayer insulating layer 323 and the second insulating layer 322 between two adjacent first isolation pillars 7 may be removed to expose the first insulating layer 321 to form a shallower first trench 1d.

[0201] like Fig. 20 As shown, in the case where each second isolation region 10g2 is provided with at least two second isolation pillars 8, a portion of the driving circuit layer 3 located between two connected second isolation pillars 8 has a recess 1f.

[0202] Since each second isolation region 10g2 is also provided with at least one fourth metal pattern 8d and at least one fifth metal pattern 8e, and the fourth metal pattern 8d and the fifth metal pattern 8e are arranged directly below the second isolation column 8, after the fourth metal pattern 8d is formed, a natural recess is formed between two adjacent fourth metal patterns 8d during the deposition of the second insulating layer 322, and then the fifth metal pattern 8e is formed. In the process of depositing the interlayer insulating layer 323, a natural recess is formed between two adjacent fifth metal patterns 8e, and there is no need to etch the insulating layer.

[0203] In some embodiments, Figure 7 , Figure 15 to Figure 18 As shown, the display substrate 100 further includes an encapsulation layer 9 disposed on a side of the light emitting device layer 4 away from the base substrate 2 .

[0204] The encapsulation layer 9 includes a first inorganic encapsulation thin film layer 91 , an organic encapsulation thin film layer 92 and a second inorganic encapsulation thin film layer 93 .

[0205] The first inorganic encapsulation film layer 91 is arranged on the side of the light emitting device layer 4 away from the base substrate 2; the first inorganic encapsulation film layer 91 is located in the second isolation area 10g2, the encapsulation dam area 10g3, the first isolation area 10g1, the wiring area 10c, the hole edge area 10f, the display area 10a and the blind hole area 10e. The organic encapsulation film layer 92 is arranged on the side of the first inorganic encapsulation film layer 91 away from the base substrate 2; the organic encapsulation film layer 92 is located in the encapsulation dam area 10g3, the first isolation area 10g1, the wiring area 10c, the hole edge area 10f, the display area 10a and the blind hole area 10e. The second inorganic encapsulation film layer 93 is arranged on the side of the organic encapsulation film layer 92 away from the base substrate 2; the second inorganic encapsulation film layer 93 encapsulates the second isolation area 10g2, the encapsulation dam area 10g3, the first isolation area 10g1, the wiring area 10c, the hole edge area 10f, the display area 10a and the blind hole area 10e.

[0206] like Figure 7 and Fig.14A As shown, the film layer structure in the blind hole area 10e includes the first insulating layer 321 of the substrate substrate 2, the second insulating layer 322, the interlayer insulating layer 323, the flat layer 5 and the encapsulation layer 9. In some embodiments, the multiple film layers in the blind hole area 10e can also be etched to retain part of the above film layer structure. For example, the film layer in the blind hole area 10e can include one or more layers of the substrate substrate 2, the first insulating layer 321, the second insulating layer 322, the interlayer insulating layer 323, the flat layer 5 and the encapsulation layer 9, such as only including the substrate substrate 2, the first insulating layer 321, the second insulating layer 322, the interlayer insulating layer 323, or only including the substrate substrate 2, the first insulating layer 321, the second insulating layer 322, the interlayer insulating layer 323 and the flat layer 5. Generally, the blind hole area 10e retains Figure 4 The layers shown in the figure are arranged to keep the thickness of the display substrate from changing greatly and avoid the formation of lamination bubbles between the layers when laminating the layers using the lamination process. The light passes through the film layers along the incident direction of the light and reaches the sensor 105 corresponding to the blind hole.

[0207] In order to ensure that the blind hole area 10e can have a certain light transmittance, it is required that the substrate 2, the first insulating layer 321, the second insulating layer 322, the interlayer insulating layer 323, the flat layer 5 and the encapsulation layer 9 are all made of transparent materials.
