AI Technical Summary
In display devices, the driving transistors of subpixels are easily affected by the data lines connected to their neighboring subpixels, leading to a decrease in display performance.
A pixel structure employing alternating first and second driving voltage lines, each receiving different driving voltages and connected to scan lines and data lines, ensures that the position of the driving voltage lines in each pixel is different, thereby reducing the impact of data lines from neighboring sub-pixels on the driving transistors.
This effectively prevents or suppresses the influence of neighboring sub-pixel data lines on the driving transistor, thereby improving the display performance and stability of the display device.

[0062] The present application now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments of the application are shown. This application may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the application to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and regions are exaggerated for clarity.
[0063] It will be understood that, although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. can be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings herein.
[0064] It will also be understood that when a layer is referred to as being "on" another layer or substrate, it can be directly on the other layer or substrate, or intervening layers can also be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there are no intervening elements present.
[0065] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, including "at least one," unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. "Or" means "and / or." "At least one of A and B" means "A and / or B." As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.
[0066] "About" or "approximately," as used herein, includes the recited value and the average value determined as would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to be within an acceptable range of deviation for a particular value when taking into account the measurement at issue and the error associated with the measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).
[0067] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
[0068] Embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein are not to be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an illustrated region can typically have a rough and / or nonlinear shape. Additionally, an illustrated sharp corner can typically have a rounded shape. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic and are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region but are intended to show the general shape of the region. It is further noted that the regions illustrated in the figures are not necessarily drawn to scale and that the dimensions of regions can be arbitrarily enlarged or reduced for the sake of clarity.
[0069] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0070] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0071] Referring to Figure 1The display device 10, as a device for displaying a moving or still image, can be used not only as a display screen of a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a tablet personal computer ("PC"), a smart watch, a watch phone, a mobile communication terminal, an electronic organizer, an electronic book, a portable multimedia player ("PMP"), a navigation system, and an ultra mobile PC ("UMPC"), but also as a display screen of various other products such as a television ("TV"), a notebook computer, a monitor, a billboard, and an Internet of Things ("IoT") device.
[0072] The display device 10 can be an organic light emitting diode ("OLED") display device using an OLED, an inorganic light emitting diode ("ILED") display device using an inorganic semiconductor, or a micro light emitting diode ("micro-LED") display device using a micro-LED. As an example, the display device 10 will be described hereinafter as an OLED display device, but the present disclosure according to the present application is not limited thereto.
[0073] The display device 10 includes a display panel 100, a display driving circuit 200, and a circuit board 300.
[0074] The display panel 100 can have a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, which shape has a short side in a first direction (i.e., an X-axis direction) and a long side in a second direction (i.e., a Y-axis direction). The corners at which the short side in the first direction (i.e., the X-axis direction) and the long side in the second direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction) meet can be rounded to have a predetermined curvature or can be right-angled. The planar shape of the display panel 100 according to the present application is not particularly limited, and the display panel 100 can have various other shapes such as a polygonal shape other than a rectangular shape, a circular shape, or an elliptical shape. The display panel 100 can be flat, but the present disclosure according to the present application is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the display panel 100 can include curved portions formed at both ends of the display panel 100 and having uniform or varying curvatures. The display panel 100 can be flexible, e.g., bendable, foldable, or rollable.

[0076] The main area MA can include a display area DA in which an image is displayed and a non-display area NDA which is peripheral to the display area DA and in which an image is not displayed. The non-display area NDA can be defined as an area from an edge of the display area DA to an edge of the display panel 100.
[0077] The sub-area SA can protrude from one side of the main area MA in the second direction (or Y-axis direction). The length of the sub-area SA in the first direction (or X-axis direction) can be less than the length of the main area MA in the first direction (or X-axis direction), and the length of the sub-area SA in the second direction (or Y-axis direction) can be less than the length of the main area MA in the second direction (or Y-axis direction). However, the present disclosure according to the present application is not limited thereto.
[0078] Figure 1 The sub-area SA is illustrated as not being folded, but the sub-area SA can be folded downward to be placed on the bottom surface of the display panel 100. When the sub-area SA is folded downward, the sub-area SA can overlap the main area MA in the thickness direction (i.e., Z-axis direction) of the substrate SUB1 (see FIG. 1). The display driving circuit 200 can be disposed in the sub-area SA. Figure 9
[0079] The display driving circuit 200 can include or be formed as an integrated circuit ("IC") and can be attached on the display panel 100 in a chip on glass ("COG") or chip on plastic ("COP") manner or by ultrasonic bonding, but the present disclosure according to the present application is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the display driving circuit 200 can be attached on the circuit board 300 in a chip on film ("COF") manner.
[0080] The circuit board 300 can be attached to one end of the sub-area SA of the display panel 100 by an anisotropic conductive film. As a result, the circuit board 300 can be electrically connected with the display panel 100 and the display driving circuit 200. The circuit board 300 can be a flexible printed circuit board, a printed circuit board, or a flexible film such as a COF.

[0086] Each of the subpixels SP can include a driving transistor, one or more switching transistors, a light emitting element, and a capacitor. The switching transistors can be turned on by a scan write signal from one of the scan write lines GWL, and can thus apply a data voltage from one of the data lines DL to a gate electrode of the driving transistor. The driving transistor supplies a driving current to the light emitting element according to the data voltage applied to the gate electrode of the driving transistor. The driving transistor and the switching transistors can be thin film transistors ("TFTs"). The light emitting element can emit light according to the driving current of the driving transistor. The light emitting element can be an OLED including a first electrode, an organic light emitting layer, and a second electrode. The capacitor can maintain the data voltage applied to the gate electrode of the driving transistor for a predetermined amount of time. The driving transistor, the switching transistors, the light emitting element, and the capacitor will be described later with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B.

The timing controller 210 can output the digital video data DATA and the data control signal DCS to the data driver 220.
[0093] The data driver 220 converts the digital video data DATA into an analog (positive / negative) data voltage and outputs the analog data voltage to the data line DL.

For example, the power supply unit 430 can generate a first driving voltage VSS, a second driving voltage VINT, a third driving voltage VREF, and a fourth driving voltage VDD, and can supply the first driving voltage VSS, the second driving voltage VINT, the third driving voltage VREF, and the fourth driving voltage VDD to the display panel 100. The first driving voltage VSS, the second driving voltage VINT, the third driving voltage VREF, and the fourth driving voltage VDD will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B.

[0115] Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the application to Figure 3 The waveform diagram of the signal of the sub-pixel.
[0116] Figure 4 The diagram shows the sources and respectively. Figure 3 The scan write line GWL, scan control line GCL, first scan bias line EBL1, second scan bias line EBL2, first transmit line EM1 and second transmit line EM2 of the sub-pixel SP are connected to the scan write line GWL, scan control line GCL, first scan bias line EBL1, second scan bias line EBL2, first transmit line EM1 and second transmit line EM2, and the scan write signal GW, scan control signal GC, first scan bias signal EB1, second scan bias signal EB2, first transmit signal EM1 and second transmit signal EM2.
[0117] Reference Figure 4 The scan write signal GW is used to control the on / off state of the fourth transistor T4. The scan control signal GC is used to control the on / off state of the fifth transistor T5. The first scan bias signal EB1 is used to control the on / off state of the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3.

[0118] The scan write signal GW, the scan control signal GC, the first scan bias signal EB1, the second scan bias signal EB2, the first emission signal EM1, and the second emission signal EM2 can be generated at intervals of a first frame period. The first frame period can include a first period t1 to a seventh period t7.

The second emission signal EM2 can have a gate-on voltage during the first period t1, the sixth period t6, and the seventh period t7, and can have a gate-off voltage during other periods.
[0120] The gate-on voltage can correspond to an on-voltage at which the second transistor T2 to the eighth transistor T8 can be turned on. The gate-off voltage can be an off-voltage at which the second transistor T2 to the eighth transistor T8 can be turned off. The gate-on voltage can be lower than the gate-off voltage.
[0121] Hereinafter, the operation of the sub-pixel SP during the first period t1 to the seventh period t7 will be described with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4
[0122] First, since the second transistor T2, the fifth transistor T5, and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on during the first period t1, the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first electrode of the light emitting element LE can be connected to the second drive voltage line VIL. As a result, the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first electrode of the light emitting element LE can be initialized to the second drive voltage VINT of the second drive voltage line VIL.
[0123] Further, since the third transistor T3 is turned on during the first period t1, the first electrode of the first capacitor Cpr can be connected to the third drive voltage line VRL. As a result, the first electrode of the first capacitor Cpr can be initialized to the third drive voltage VREF from the third drive voltage line VRL.
[0124] Second, since the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on during the second period t2, the first transistor T1 can operate as a diode, and the fourth drive voltage VDD from the fourth drive voltage line VDL can be applied to the first electrode of the first transistor T1. Since the gate-source voltage Vgs of the first transistor T1 is lower than the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1, the first transistor T1 can form a current path until the gate-source voltage Vgs reaches the threshold voltage. As a result, during the second period t2, the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 can be sampled to the gate electrode of the first transistor T1.
[0125] Further, since the second transistor T2 is turned on during the second period t2, the second drive voltage VINT from the second drive voltage line VIL can be applied to the first electrode of the light emitting element LE. Further, since the third transistor T3 is turned on during the second period t2, the third drive voltage VREF from the third drive voltage line VRL can be applied to the first electrode of the first capacitor Cpr.
[0126] Third, since the fourth transistor T4 is turned on during the third period t3, the first electrode of the first capacitor Cpr can be connected to the data line DL. As a result, the data voltage from the data line DL can be applied to the first electrode of the first capacitor Cpr.
[0127] Further, since the fifth transistor T5 is turned on during the third period t3, the gate electrode and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 can be connected together. Thus, a voltage change in the first electrode of the first capacitor Cpr can be reflected to the gate electrode of the first transistor T1. As a result, the data voltage can be applied (or sampled) to the gate electrode of the first transistor T1.
[0128] Fourth, since the eighth transistor T8 is turned on during the fourth period t4, a gate cutoff voltage of the second emission signal EM2 from the second emission line EL2 can be applied to the second electrode of the first transistor T1. As a result, a current corresponding to a voltage at the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 can flow between the first and second electrodes of the first transistor T1 during the fourth period t4. That is, an on bias voltage can be applied to the first transistor T1.
[0129] Fifth, since the second and third transistors T2 and T3 are turned on during the fifth period t5, the first electrode of the light emitting element LE can be initialized to the second drive voltage VINT from the second drive voltage line VIL, and the first electrode of the first capacitor Cpr can be initialized to the third drive voltage VREF from the third drive voltage line VRL. Also, since the eighth transistor T8 is turned on during the fifth period t5, an on bias voltage can be applied to the first transistor T1.
[0130] Sixth, since the second and seventh transistors T2 and T7 are turned on during the sixth period t6, the second electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first electrode of the light emitting element LE can be initialized to the second drive voltage VINT from the second drive voltage line VIL. Also, since the third transistor T3 is turned on during the sixth period t6, the first electrode of the first capacitor Cpr can be initialized to the third drive voltage VREF from the third drive voltage line VRL.
[0131] Seventh, since the sixth and seventh transistors T6 and T7 are turned on during the seventh period t7, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 can be connected with the fourth drive voltage line VDL, and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 can be connected with the light emitting element LE. As a result, a drive current Ids flowing in the first transistor T1 according to a voltage at the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 can be supplied to the light emitting element EL.

[0134] Referring to Figure 5Each of the first to sixth pixels PX1 to PX6 can include a first sub-pixel SP1, a second sub-pixel SP2, and a third sub-pixel SP3 disposed in a first direction (or an X-axis direction). The first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3 can respectively emit light of a first color, a second color, and a third color, and the first color, the second color, and the third color can be red, green, and blue, respectively. However, the present disclosure according to the present application is not limited to the combination and order of the colors. Figure 5 It is illustrated that each of the first to sixth pixels PX1 to PX6 includes three sub-pixels, but the number of sub-pixels of each of the first to sixth pixels PX1 to PX6 is not particularly limited.
[0135] The first driving voltage lines VSL and the second driving voltage lines VIL can extend in a second direction (or a Y-axis direction). The first driving voltage lines VSL and the second driving voltage lines VIL can be alternately disposed in the first direction (or the X-axis direction). That is, the first driving voltage lines VSL and the second driving voltage lines VIL can be disposed in the first direction (or the X-axis direction) in the order of the first driving voltage line VSL, the second driving voltage line VIL, the first driving voltage line VSL, and the second driving voltage line VIL.

For example, the first driving voltage lines VSL can be disposed in the first pixel PX1, the third pixel PX3, and the fifth pixel PX5, and the second driving voltage lines VIL can be disposed in the second pixel PX2, the fourth pixel PX4, and the sixth pixel PX6.
[0137] The positions of the first driving voltage lines VSL in the first pixel PX1, the third pixel PX3, and the fifth pixel PX5 can be the same as the positions of the second driving voltage lines VIL in the second pixel PX2, the fourth pixel PX4, and the sixth pixel PX6. That is, the first driving voltage lines VSL can be disposed between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the first pixel PX1, between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the third pixel PX3, and between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the fifth pixel PX5.

[0138] By disposing one of the first driving voltage lines VSL or one of the second driving voltage lines VIL between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of each pixel, as Figure 5As shown in FIG. 1, the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 can be effectively prevented or suppressed from being affected by the data line DL connected to the third sub-pixel SP3. Hereinafter, this will be described with reference to Figure 6 and Figure 7 This will be described in detail.

[0148] The fourth transistor T4 can be disposed between the data line DL and the fourth vertical driving voltage line VVDL in the first direction (or the X-axis direction). The fourth transistor T4 can be disposed between the scan write line GWL and the first scan bias line EBL1 in the second direction (or the Y-axis direction).
[0149] The fifth transistor T5 can be disposed between the repair line RPL and the scan control line GCL in the second direction (or the Y-axis direction). At least a portion of the fifth transistor T5 can overlap the fourth vertical driving voltage line VVDL in the third direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction).
[0150] The sixth transistor T6 can be disposed between the first emission line EL1 and the first transistor T1 in the second direction (or the Y-axis direction). At least a portion of the sixth transistor T6 can overlap the fourth horizontal driving voltage line HVDL and the fourth vertical driving voltage line VVDL in the third direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction).
[0151] The seventh transistor T7 can be disposed between the data line DL and the fourth vertical driving voltage line VVDL in the first direction (or the X-axis direction). The seventh transistor T7 can be disposed between the repair line RPL and the scan control line GCL in the second direction (or the Y-axis direction).
[0152] The eighth transistor T8 can be disposed between the scan control line GCL and the second emission line EL2 in the second direction (or the Y-axis direction). The eighth transistor T8 can overlap the second scan bias line EBL2 and the fourth vertical driving voltage line VVDL in the third direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction).
[0153] The first capacitor Cpr can include a first capacitor electrode CPRE1 and a second capacitor electrode CPRE2 overlapping in the third direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction). That is, the first capacitor electrode CPRE1 can be a first electrode of the first capacitor Cpr, and the second capacitor electrode CPRE2 can be a second electrode of the first capacitor Cpr. The first capacitor Cpr can be disposed between the first emission line EL1 and the first scan bias line EBL1 in the second direction (or the Y-axis direction). The first capacitor Cpr can overlap the second horizontal driving voltage line HVIL, the third vertical driving voltage line VVRL, and the fourth vertical driving voltage line VVDL in the third direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction).
[0154] The second capacitor Cst can include the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 and a portion of the storage voltage line VSTL overlapping the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 in the third direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction).

[0155] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the first transistors T1 of the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3 can be affected by their respective adjacent data lines DL. For example, if a white gray data voltage is applied to the gate electrodes G1 of the first transistors T1 of the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3 and a black gray data voltage is applied to the data lines DL, the voltage at the gate electrodes G1 of the first transistors T1 of the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3 can increase due to the presence of the data lines DL. As a result, the driving current Ids of the first transistors T1 of the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3 can become lower than a desired driving current Ids, and the emission luminance of the light emitting elements LE of the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3 can also become lower than a desired emission luminance. That is, the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3 can display a gray level lower than a desired gray level, in which case the quality of the display can decrease, as shown in Figure 12 .
[0156] To prevent or inhibit the first transistors T1 of the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3 from being affected by the data lines DL, it is preferable that the first driving voltage line VSL and the second vertical driving voltage line VVIL of the second driving voltage line VIL be alternately disposed between every two adjacent sub-pixels SP. However, in this case, the integration density of the sub-pixels SP can increase, and the pixels per inch (“PPI”) can thus increase. As a result, there can not be enough space to alternately dispose the first driving voltage line VSL and the second vertical driving voltage line VVIL of the second driving voltage line VIL between every two adjacent sub-pixels SP.
[0157] In the case where the first, second, and third sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 emit red, green, and blue light, respectively, the luminance of the corresponding pixel can be most affected by the luminance variation in the second sub-pixel SP2 and least affected by the luminance variation in the third sub-pixel SP3. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the luminance variation of the second sub-pixel SP2 to minimize the luminance variation of the corresponding pixel.
[0158] In each of the first to sixth pixels PX1 to PX6, the second vertical driving voltage line VVIL of the first driving voltage line VSL or the second driving voltage line VIL can be arranged between the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 and the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3, which is the data line DL most adjacent to the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2, to minimize the luminance variation of the second sub-pixel SP2. As a result, the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 can be effectively prevented or suppressed from being affected by the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3.
[0159] Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second vertical driving voltage line VVIL of the first driving voltage line VSL or the second driving voltage line VIL is illustrated as being arranged between the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 and the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3, but the present disclosure according to the present application is not limited thereto. That is, by providing the second vertical driving voltage line VVIL of the first driving voltage line VSL or the second driving voltage line VIL between the first transistor T1 of the first sub-pixel SP1 and the data line DL of the second sub-pixel SP2, the first transistor T1 of the first sub-pixel SP1 can be prevented or suppressed from being affected by the data line DL of the second sub-pixel SP2. In addition, by providing the second vertical driving voltage line VVIL of the first driving voltage line VSL or the second driving voltage line VIL between the first transistor T1 of the third sub-pixel SP3 and the data line DL of the first sub-pixel SP1 of the next pixel, the first transistor T1 of the third sub-pixel SP3 can be effectively prevented or suppressed from being affected by the data line DL of the first sub-pixel SP1 of the next pixel.

[0181] Since the second vertical driving voltage line VVIL is disposed between the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 and the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3, as shown in FIG. 2B, the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 can be effectively prevented or suppressed from being affected by the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3.

As a result, the influence of the gate connection electrode GCE of the second sub-pixel SP2 on the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3 can be prevented or suppressed. Therefore, the influence of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 on the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3 can be further prevented or suppressed.

[0213] The first electrode 171 can be disposed on the second organic film 161. The first electrode 171 can be connected with the second anode connecting electrode ANDE2 through the third anode contact hole ANCT3. The third anode contact hole ANCT3 can be a hole exposing the second anode connecting electrode ANDE2 outside the second organic film 161.
[0214] In a top emission structure that emits light in a direction from the organic light emitting layer 172 to the second electrode 173, the first electrode 171 can include or be formed of a metal material having high reflectivity, such as a stack of Al and Ti (e.g., Ti / Al / Ti), a stack of Al and indium tin oxide (“ITO”) (e.g., ITO / Al / ITO), silver (Ag)-palladium (Pd)-copper (Cu) (“APC”) alloy, or a stack of APC alloy and ITO (e.g., ITO / APC / ITO).
[0215] A bank 180 can be disposed on the second organic film 161 to define the first electrode 171 and thus the emission area EA2 of the second sub-pixel SP2. The bank 180 can cover edges of the first electrode 171. The bank 180 can be an organic film including an acrylic resin, an epoxy resin, a phenol resin, a polyamide resin, or a polyimide resin.
[0216] The emission area EA2 of the second sub-pixel SP2 can involve an area in which the first electrode 171, the organic light emitting layer 172, and the second electrode 173 are sequentially stacked to cause holes from the first electrode 171 and electrons from the second electrode 173 to combine together in the organic light emitting layer 172 to emit light.
[0217] The organic light emitting layer 172 is disposed on the first electrode 171. The organic light emitting layer 172 can include an organic material and can thus emit light of a specific color. For example, the organic light emitting layer 172 can include a hole transport layer, an organic material layer, and an electron transport layer.
[0218] The organic light emitting layer 172 of the first sub-pixel SP1 can emit light of a first color, the organic light emitting layer 172 of the second sub-pixel SP2 can emit light of a second color, and the organic light emitting layer 172 of the third sub-pixel SP3 can emit light of a third color. Alternatively, the organic light emitting layer 172 can be formed commonly (i.e., integrally) for all of the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3 and can emit white light, in which case the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3 can respectively overlap the first color filter layer, the second color filter layer, and the third color filter layer.
[0219] The second electrode 173 can be disposed on the organic light emitting layer 172. The second electrode 173 can cover the organic light emitting layer 172.

[0220] In a top emission structure, the second electrode 173 can include or be formed of a transparent metal material such as ITO or indium zinc oxide (“IZO”), or a semi-transparent metal material such as magnesium (Mg), Ag, or an alloy thereof. In the case in which the second electrode 173 includes or is formed of the semi-transparent metal material, emission efficiency of the second electrode 173 can be improved due to a microcavity.
[0221] A encapsulation layer TFE can be disposed on the light emitting element layer EML. The encapsulation layer TFE can include at least one inorganic film to effectively prevent oxygen or moisture from permeating into the light emitting element layer EML. The encapsulation layer TFE can further include at least one organic film to protect the light emitting element layer EML from foreign substances such as dust.
[0222] Alternatively, instead of the encapsulation layer TFE, a substrate can be disposed on the light emitting element layer EML, and a space between the light emitting element layer EML and the substrate can be a vacuum, or can have a filling film disposed therein. The filling film can be an epoxy filling film or a silicone filling film.
[0223] Figure 12 illustrates a change in gray scale between a first region and a second region of a display panel depending on the presence of Figure 5 a first driving voltage line and a second driving voltage line, Figure 5 a display panel.
[0224] Referring to Figure 12 In a case where the middle upper region and the middle lower region of the display panel 100 display a black (B) image and the other regions of the display panel 100 display a white (W) image, it is desirable that the first region A1 which is a left middle region of the display panel 100 and the second region A2 which is a center region of the display panel 100 display the same W image. However, since the middle upper region and the middle lower region of the display panel 100 both display the B image, the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 in the second region A2 can be affected by the black gray data voltage applied to the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3 adjacent to the second sub-pixel SP2. Accordingly, the voltage applied to the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 in the second region A2 can increase and can thus become higher than the voltage applied to the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 in the first region A1. In this case, the W image displayed in the second region A2 can become slightly darker than the W image displayed in the first region A1, as shown in (a) of FIG. 11. Figure 12
[0225] As described above with reference to Figure 5 to Figure 11 the second vertical driving voltage line VVIL of the first driving voltage line VSL or the second driving voltage line VIL is disposed between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of each pixel, specifically, between the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 and the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3. As a result, the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 can be effectively prevented or suppressed from being affected by the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3. In this case, the W image displayed in the second region A2 and the W image displayed in the first region A1 can become almost the same, as shown in (a) of FIG. 12. Figure 12 as shown in (b) of FIG. 10. That is, any difference between the W image displayed in the second area A2 and the W image displayed in the first area A1 can be prevented or reduced.

[0228] Referring to Figure 13 , the first driving voltage line VSL, the second driving voltage line VIL, and the third driving voltage line VRL can be alternately disposed in the first direction (or the X-axis direction). For example, the first driving voltage line VSL, the second driving voltage line VIL, and the third driving voltage line VRL can be disposed in the first direction (or the X-axis direction) in the order of the first driving voltage line VSL, the second driving voltage line VIL, the third driving voltage line VRL, the first driving voltage line VSL, the second driving voltage line VIL, and the third driving voltage line VRL, but the disclosure according to the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the first driving voltage line VSL, the second driving voltage line VIL, and the third driving voltage line VRL can be disposed in the first direction (or the X-axis direction) in the order of the second driving voltage line VIL, the first driving voltage line VSL, and the third driving voltage line VRL.
[0229] One of the first driving voltage line VSL, one of the second driving voltage line VIL, or one of the third driving voltage line VRL can be disposed in each pixel. For example, the first driving voltage line VSL can be disposed in the first pixel PX1 and the fourth pixel PX4, the second driving voltage line VIL can be disposed in the second pixel PX2 and the fifth pixel PX5, and the third driving voltage line VRL can be disposed in the third pixel PX3 and the sixth pixel PX6.
[0230] The position of the first drive voltage line VSL in the first pixel PX1 and the fourth pixel PX4 can be the same as the position of the second drive voltage line VIL in the second pixel PX2 and the fifth pixel PX5. Also, the position of the first drive voltage line VSL in the first pixel PX1 and the fourth pixel PX4 can be the same as the position of the third drive voltage line VRL in the third pixel PX3 and the sixth pixel PX6. For example, the first drive voltage line VSL can be arranged between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the first pixel PX1 and between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the fourth pixel PX4, the second drive voltage line VIL can be arranged between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the second pixel PX2 and between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the fifth pixel PX5, and the third drive voltage line VRL can be arranged between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the third pixel PX3 and between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the sixth pixel PX6.

[0233] The embodiment of Figure 14 differs from the embodiment of Figure 8 only in that the third vertical drive voltage line VVRL is arranged between the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the third pixel PX3, and thus the following description will mainly focus on the difference from Figure 8
[0234] Referring to Figure 14 , the third vertical drive voltage line VVRL of the third drive voltage line VRL can be arranged between the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 and the data line DL of the third sub-pixel SP3. Thus, it is possible to effectively prevent or suppress the first transistor T1 of the second sub-pixel SP2 from being affected by the data line DL connected to the third sub-pixel SP3.
[0235] The third vertical drive voltage line VVRL can include a protruding portion PP2 protruding in the first direction (or the X-axis direction) to be connected to the third drive connection electrode VRE.

For example, the first driving voltage lines VSL can be arranged between the first and second sub-pixels SP1 and SP2 of the first pixel PX1, between the third sub-pixel SP3 of the third pixel PX3 and the first sub-pixel SP1 of the fourth pixel PX4, and between the second and third sub-pixels SP2 and SP3 of the fifth pixel PX5, and the second driving voltage lines VIL can be arranged between the second and third sub-pixels SP2 and SP3 of the second pixel PX2, between the first and second sub-pixels SP1 and SP2 of the fourth pixel PX4, and between the third sub-pixel SP3 of the sixth pixel PX6 and the first sub-pixel SP1 of the seventh pixel (not shown).

Conversely, in Figure 15 In one embodiment, the first driving voltage line VSL and the second driving voltage line VIL are used to alternately block the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the first pixel PX1 to the sixth pixel PX6, regardless of whether the brightness of the first pixel PX1 to the sixth pixel PX6 is most affected by the brightness change of the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2 or the third sub-pixel SP3 of the first pixel PX1 to the sixth pixel PX6.
[0242] By setting one of the first driving voltage lines VSL or one of the second driving voltage lines VIL between two adjacent sub-pixels SP of each pixel, such as Figure 15 As shown, the first transistor T1 of one of two adjacent sub-pixels SP can be effectively prevented or suppressed from being affected by the data line DL connected to the third sub-pixel SP3 of the corresponding pixel.
