[0078] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.
[0079] The UDC technology refers to a technology of arranging a camera between a display screen and a housing of a display device. In the UDC technology, the driving circuit of the light emitting unit in the camera corresponding area in the display screen is arranged in the non-display area of the display screen, and the light emitting unit in the camera corresponding area is connected with the driving circuit in the non-display area through the transparent connection wire, so as to drive the light emitting unit in the camera corresponding area to emit light through the driving circuit in the non-display area. Wherein, the main display component in the display screen is a display substrate.
[0080] For example, Figure 1 is a front view of a display substrate provided by an embodiment of the present application, which can be a display substrate in a display screen based on the UDC technology. Referring to Figure 1The display substrate includes a display area AA and a non-display area BB, the display area AA includes a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2 located at least on one side of the first display area AA1, the first display area AA1 can be a corresponding area of a light taking module (for example, a camera, a fingerprint identification device, etc.) of the display device, the second display area AA2 accounts for a large part of the display substrate, and the first display area AA1 accounts for the remaining part, that is, the area of the second display area AA2 can be much larger than the area of the first display area AA1. The non-display area BB includes a first pixel circuit area BB1 located on the side of the first display area AA1 away from the second display area AA2, and a driving circuit of a light emitting unit (also referred to as a light emitting device) in the first display area AA1 is arranged in the first pixel circuit area BB1 and is electrically connected with the light emitting unit in the first display area AA1 through a transparent connecting line. Wherein, the resolution of the second display area AA2 can be greater than the resolution of the first display area AA1, the size of the light emitting unit located in the first display area AA1 is smaller than the size of the light emitting unit located in the second display area AA2, for example, the light emitting unit is an organic light emitting diode (OLED) light emitting unit, the size of the anode of the light emitting unit in the first display area AA1 is smaller than the size of the anode of the light emitting unit in the second display area AA2, in this way, the light transmittance of the first display area AA1 can be greater than the light transmittance of the second display area AA2, so as to facilitate the light taking module arranged below the first display area AA1 to take light through the first display area AA1. Since the light transmittance of the first display area AA1 is greater than the light transmittance of the second display area AA2, the resolution of the second display area AA2 is greater than the resolution of the first display area AA1, and the area of the second display area AA2 is much larger than the area of the first display area AA1, therefore, a larger part of a display picture can be displayed in the second display area AA2, so the second display area AA2 can also be referred to as a main display area, and the first display area AA1 can also be referred to as an auxiliary display area. For example, the first display area AA1 is a transparent display area, and the second display area AA2 is a non-transparent display area.
[0081] Currently, in a display screen based on UDC technology, the display substrate includes a substrate, and a polyimide (PI) layer, a barrier layer, a first buffer layer, a polysilicon (p-Si) active layer, a first gate insulator (GI) layer, a first gate, a first inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer, a second gate, a second ILD layer, a second buffer layer, an oxide active layer, a second GI layer, a third gate, a third ILD layer, a source-drain layer, a passivation (PVX) layer, a first planarization (PLN) layer, a drain connecting line, a second PLN layer, a first indium tin oxide (ITO) connecting line, a third PLN layer, a second ITO connecting line, a fourth PLN layer, a third ITO connecting line, a fifth PLN layer, an anode (AND), a pixel definition layer (PDL), a photo spacer (PS) layer, a light-emitting layer, and a cathode, which are sequentially arranged on the substrate. The source-drain layer includes a first source, a first drain, a second source, and a second drain. The first source is connected to the polysilicon active layer through a first via penetrating the third ILD layer, the second GI layer, the second buffer layer, the second ILD layer, the first ILD layer, and the first GI layer. The first drain is connected to the polysilicon active layer through a second via penetrating the third ILD layer, the second GI layer, the second buffer layer, the second ILD layer, the first ILD layer, and the first GI layer. The second source is connected to the oxide active layer through a third via penetrating the third ILD layer and the second GI layer. The second drain is connected to the oxide active layer through a fourth via penetrating the third ILD layer and the second GI layer. The drain connecting line, the first ITO connecting line, the second ITO connecting line, and the third ITO connecting line are used to electrically connect the first drain and the anode. The polysilicon active layer, the first gate, the first source, and the first drain constitute a polysilicon thin film transistor (TFT). The oxide active layer, the second gate, the second source, and the second drain constitute an oxide TFT. The anode, the light-emitting layer, and the cathode constitute a light-emitting unit. The polysilicon TFT, the oxide TFT, and the drain connecting line in the driving circuit of the light-emitting unit in the camera corresponding area are located in the non-display area. The first ITO connecting line, the second ITO connecting line, and the third ITO connecting line connect the light-emitting unit in the camera corresponding area and the polysilicon TFT in the non-display area.
[0082] The polycrystalline silicon active layer, the first gate, the second gate, the oxide active layer, the third gate, the source-drain layer, the passivation layer, the first PLN layer, the drain connecting line, the second PLN layer, the first ITO connecting line, the third PLN layer, the second ITO connecting line, the fourth PLN layer, the third ITO connecting line, the fifth PLN layer, the anode, the PDL and the PS layer in the display substrate need to be prepared by one patterning process respectively, and the first to fourth vias need to be prepared by one patterning process. Therefore, the manufacturing process of the display substrate needs at least 20 patterning processes, which leads to a complex manufacturing process of the display substrate and high manufacturing cost.
[0083] In view of the above problems existing in the process of manufacturing the display substrate, the embodiments of the present application provide a display substrate, a manufacturing method thereof and a display device. In the display substrate, a sub-pixel includes a light-emitting unit and a driving unit, the driving unit includes a target functional film layer, the display area of the display substrate includes a target display area, the target driving unit of the target light-emitting unit in the target display area is located in the non-display area of the display substrate, and the target light-emitting unit and the target driving unit are electrically connected through a target connecting structure, a part of the target connecting structure located in the target display area is a transparent structure, and the target connecting structure includes a first connecting trace, the first connecting trace is the same layer and the same material as the target functional film layer. Since the first connecting trace is the same layer and the same material as the target functional film layer, the first connecting trace and the target functional film layer can be prepared by one patterning process, which helps to reduce the number of patterning processes required to be performed in the process of manufacturing the display substrate, simplifies the manufacturing process of the display substrate, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the display substrate.
[0084] The target display area can be an under-screen light-taking area in the display substrate, and the under-screen light-taking area refers to an area in the display substrate corresponding to a light-taking module located between a display screen and a housing of a display device. For example, the target display area is an under-screen camera area, and the under-screen camera refers to a camera arranged between the display screen and the housing of the display device. Since the target light-emitting unit and the target driving unit are electrically connected through the target connecting structure, and a part of the target connecting structure located in the target display area is a transparent structure, the under-screen camera area can display, which helps to improve the screen-to-body ratio of the display screen.
[0085] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0086] Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present application, for example Figure 2 may be Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the C-C part of the display substrate shown. Referring to Figure 2The display substrate includes a substrate 10 and a display structure layer 11 located on the substrate 10. The substrate 10 has a display area 101 and a non-display area 102, and the display area 101 includes a target display area 1011. The display structure layer 11 includes a plurality of sub-pixels ( Figure 2 (Not shown in the image), each sub-pixel includes a light-emitting unit 111 and a driving unit 112. The light-emitting unit 112 is located in the display area 101, and the driving unit 112 includes a target functional film layer 1121.
[0087] In this design, the light-emitting unit 111 located in the target display area 1011 is the target light-emitting unit 111A, and the driving unit of the target light-emitting unit 111A is the target driving unit 112A. The target driving unit 112A is located in the non-display area 102, and the target light-emitting unit 111A and the target driving unit 112A are electrically connected through the target connection structure 113. The portion of the target connection structure 113 located in the target display area 1011 is a transparent structure. The target connection structure 113 includes a first connection trace 1131, which is a transparent trace and is made of the same material as the target functional film layer 1121. That is, the first connection trace 1131 and the target functional film layer 1121 are distributed in the same layer, and the material of the first connection trace 1131 is the same as the material of the target functional film layer 1121. Therefore, the first connection trace 1131 and the target functional film layer 1121 can be fabricated in a single patterning process.
[0088] In summary, in the display substrate provided in the embodiments of the present application, the sub-pixel includes a light emitting unit and a driving unit, the driving unit includes a target functional film layer, the display substrate includes a target display area in a display area of the display substrate, a target driving unit of a target light emitting unit in the target display area is located in a non-display area of the display substrate, and the target light emitting unit and the target driving unit are electrically connected through a target connection structure, a part of the target connection structure located in the target display area is a transparent structure, and the target connection structure includes a first connection trace, which is in the same layer and of the same material as the target functional film layer. Since the first connection trace is in the same layer and of the same material as the target functional film layer, the first connection trace and the target functional film layer can be prepared through one patterning process, which helps to reduce the number of patterning processes required to be performed in the process of manufacturing the display substrate, simplify the manufacturing process of the display substrate, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the display substrate. Since the first connection trace and the target functional film layer can be prepared through one patterning process, compared with the manufacturing process of the display substrate in the related art, the manufacturing process of the display substrate in the present application can reduce one ITO process (i.e., a patterning process of forming an ITO trace), and since the first connection trace and the target functional film layer are located in the same layer, one PLN process (i.e., a patterning process of forming a PLN layer) can also be reduced, that is, compared with the current display substrate, the manufacturing process of the display substrate provided in the embodiments of the present application can reduce two patterning processes.
[0089] The display substrate can be a rigid display substrate or a flexible display substrate. Accordingly, the substrate can be a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate, for example, a glass substrate or a flexible substrate prepared by using PI. The area of the display substrate other than the target display area 1011 is a non-target display area 1012, the non-target display area 1012 is located at least one side of the target display area 1011, the non-target display area 1012 accounts for a large part of the display substrate, and the target display area 1011 accounts for the remaining part, that is, the area of the non-target display area 1012 can be much larger than the area of the target display area 1011. The resolution of the non-target display area 1012 can be greater than the resolution of the target display area 1011, and the size of the light emitting unit located in the target display area 1011 is smaller than the size of the light emitting unit located in the non-target display area 1012. The target display area 1011 can be an under-screen light taking area in the display substrate, for example, an under-screen camera area. Since the target light emitting unit 111A is located in the target display area 1011, the target driving unit 112A is located in the non-display area 102, and the part of the target connection structure located in the target display area 1011 is a transparent structure, the target display area 1011 can display, which helps to improve the screen ratio of the display screen.
[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving unit 112 includes an oxide active layer, and the target functional film layer 1121 can be the oxide active layer. The hydrogen content of the target film layer in the display substrate that is in contact with the first connection trace 1131 is higher than the preset threshold, i.e., the hydrogen content of the target film layer is relatively high. Since the target functional film layer 1121 is the oxide active layer in the driving unit 112, the material of the target functional film layer 1121 is a semiconductor oxide. Since the material of the first connection trace 1131 is the same as that of the target functional film layer 1121, the material of the first connection trace 1131 is also a semiconductor oxide. Since the first connection trace 1131 is in contact with the target film layer whose hydrogen content is higher than the preset threshold, the hydrogen element in the target film layer can diffuse into the first connection trace 1131. The hydrogen element diffused into the first connection trace 1131 can reduce the oxide in the first connection trace 1131, so that the oxide in the first connection trace 1131 is hydrogenated, thereby making the first connection trace 1131 conductive, enhancing the conductivity of the first connection trace 1131, and facilitating the transmission of the driving signal in the target driving unit 112A to the target light emitting unit 111A through the first connection trace 1131 to drive the target light emitting unit 111A to emit light. In an optional embodiment, the material of the first connection trace 1131 and the material of the target functional film layer 1121 are indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) or indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), or other semiconductor oxides, which are not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The preset threshold is any value between 3.6×10 21 ~9.68×10 21 H / cm 3 .
[0091] In an optional embodiment, the material of the target film layer includes at least one of an organic material and silicon nitride. Since the hydrogen content of the organic material and silicon nitride is usually high, the target film layer made of the organic material and silicon nitride can make the first connection trace 1131 conductive. For example, the display substrate usually includes a planarization layer and a passivation layer. The material of the planarization layer is usually an organic material (e.g., epoxy resin, acrylate, etc.) with high hydrogen content, and the material of the passivation layer is usually silicon nitride with high hydrogen content. Therefore, the target film layer in the embodiment of the present application can include at least one of the planarization layer and the passivation layer.
[0092] In an optional embodiment, the display structure layer 11 includes an interlayer structure layer located between the first connection trace 1131 and the target film layer. This interlayer structure layer has contact holes through which the target film layer contacts the first connection trace 1131, thereby conducting the first connection trace 1131 through the target film layer. The ratio of the overlapping area of the contact hole and the first connection trace 1131 to the area of the orthographic projection of the first connection trace 1131 onto the substrate 10 is greater than a preset ratio. This overlapping area is the area of the overlapping region between the orthographic projection of the contact hole onto the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the first connection trace 1131 onto the substrate 10, and the preset ratio is any value between 0.33 and 1. This allows for a larger contact area between the target film layer and the first connection trace 1131, facilitating the conduction of the first connection trace 1131 by the target film layer. In one possible implementation, the interlayer structure layer has a contact hole whose orthographic projection on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first connection trace 1131 on the substrate 10, thereby allowing a larger contact area between the target film layer and the first connection trace 1131. In another possible implementation, the interlayer structure layer has multiple contact holes uniformly distributed in a first region of the interlayer structure layer, corresponding to the first connection trace 1131. This allows the target film layer to make uniform contact with the first connection trace 1131 through the multiple contact holes, resulting in a larger contact area between the target film layer and the first connection trace 1131.

In this way, the target connection structure electrically connects the target light emitting unit and the target drive unit.
[0097] For example, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the target connection structure 113 includes a first connection wire 1131, a second connection wire 1132, and a third connection wire 1133. The second connection wire 1132 is located in the non-display area 102, and the second connection wire 1132 is electrically connected to the first connection wire 1131 and the target drive unit 112A respectively.

The display structure layer 11 includes a first GI layer 116, a first ILD layer 118, a passivation layer 114, and a first planar layer 115 located between the second connection wire 1132 and the first connection wire 1131. A second connection hole and a third connection hole penetrating the first GI layer 116, the first ILD layer 118, the passivation layer 114, and the first planar layer 115 are formed in a region corresponding to the first connection wire 1131. The second connection wire 1132 is electrically connected to the first connection wire 1131 through the second connection hole, and the third connection wire 1133 is electrically connected to the first connection wire 1131 through the third connection hole.
[0099] The first implementation manner takes the second connection wire and the third connection wire located on the same layer as an example, and the second connection wire and the third connection wire can also be located on different layers. For exampleFigure 2 As shown, the third connection wire 1133 is located on the side of the second connection wire 1132 away from the first connection wire 1131. The display structure layer 11 includes a first GI layer 116, a first ILD layer 118, a passivation layer 114, a first planar layer 115 and a second planar layer 119 between the third connection wire 1133 and the first connection wire 1131, and a third connection hole penetrating through air in the region of the first GI layer 116, the first ILD layer 118, the passivation layer 114, the first planar layer 115 and the second planar layer 119 corresponding to the first connection wire 1131, and the third connection wire 1133 is electrically connected to the first connection wire 1131 through the third connection hole.

[0113] Those skilled in the art should understand that Figures 2 to 7 This is merely an example of a display substrate provided in the embodiments of this application, and does not constitute a limitation on the structure of the display substrate. The actual display substrate may include more than [specific examples].Figures 2 to 7 More or less structures, for example, the display substrate can further include an encapsulation layer located on the side of the display structure layer away from the substrate, which encapsulates the light emitting unit in the display structure layer to avoid external water and oxygen from entering the inside of the display substrate to erode the light emitting unit. For another example, the display structure layer can further include a light shielding layer located between the oxide active layer and the substrate to shield the oxide active layer, so as to avoid the light from the substrate from entering the inside of the display substrate to affect the switching characteristics of the oxide TFT. That is, the setting of the light shielding layer can ensure the switching characteristics of the oxide TFT. In actual applications, the structure of the display substrate can be adjusted as needed, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

The cross-layer connection structure includes a connection wire located in at least one layer, and all or part of the connection wires in the cross-layer connection structure are distributed in the same layer as all or part of the connection wires in the target connection structure. The connection wires in the same layer and of the same material in the cross-layer connection structure and the target connection structure can be prepared through the same patterning process. For the sake of brevity, the connection mode of the driving unit 112 and the light emitting unit 111 in the non-target display area 1012 will not be described here.

Figure 2 、 Figures 5 to 7 and Figure 10 The manufacturing process of the display substrate shown in Figures 2 to 7 may refer to the embodiments. The method includes the following steps:
[0127] In step 1001, a substrate is provided, which has a display area and a non-display area, and the display area includes a target display area.
[0128] For example, as shown in Figure 11 , the substrate 10 has a display area 101 and a non-display area 102, the non-display area 102 is distributed around the display area 101, the display area 101 includes a target display area 1011, and the target display area 1011 is close to the non-display area 102.

The material of the second gate 1124 can be a light-shielding material, for example, the material of the second gate 1124 is a metal material.
[0132] For example, first, deposit an organic material on the display substrate 10 to obtain the barrier layer 13. Then, deposit a layer of SiOx on the side of the barrier layer 13 away from the substrate 10 to obtain the second buffer layer 14. Next, form a polysilicon material layer on the side of the second buffer layer 14 away from the substrate 10, and process the polysilicon material layer by a one-time patterning process to obtain the polysilicon active layer 1122. Then, deposit a layer of SiNx on the side of the polysilicon active layer 1122 away from the substrate 10 to obtain the second GI layer 122.

The orthographic projection of the target functional film layer 1121 on the substrate base plate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second gate 1124 on the substrate base plate 10.
[0135] In step 1004, a first GI layer, a third gate, a first ILD layer and a source-drain layer are sequentially formed on the side of the first connection wire away from the substrate base plate.
[0136] Please refer to Figure 14 Fig. 12 shows a schematic diagram of the embodiment provided by the present application, which shows a schematic diagram after forming the first GI layer 116, the third gate 1125, the first ILD layer 118 and the source-drain layer on the side of the first connection wire 1131 away from the substrate base plate 10. The source-drain layer includes a first source 1126, a first drain 1127, a second source 1128 and a second drain 1129.

The second source 1128 is electrically connected to the oxide active layer (i.e. the target functional film layer 1121) through a third via in the first GI layer 116 and the first ILD layer 118. The second drain 1129 is electrically connected to the oxide active layer (i.e. the target functional film layer 1121) through a fourth via in the first GI layer 116 and the first ILD layer 118.

[0137] For example, firstly, a SiOxNy layer is deposited on the side of the first connection trace 1131 away from the substrate 10 to obtain a first GI layer 116. Then, a metal layer is formed on the side of the first GI layer 116 away from the substrate 10, and the metal layer is processed through a single patterning process to obtain a third gate 1125. Next, a SiNx layer is deposited on the side of the third gate 1125 away from the substrate 10 to obtain a first ILD layer 118. Then, through a single patterning process, a first via and a second via are formed in the second GI layer 122, the second ILD layer 123, the third ILD layer 124, the first buffer layer 117, the first GI layer 116, and the first ILD layer 118, and a third via and a fourth via are formed in the first GI layer 116 and the first ILD layer 118. Finally, a metal layer is formed on the side of the first ILD layer 118 away from the substrate 10, and the metal layer is processed through a single patterning process to obtain a source / drain layer.
[0138] In step 1005, a passivation layer is formed on the side of the source / drain layer away from the substrate. The first GI layer, the first ILD layer, and the passivation layer are stacked to form an interlayer structure layer, which has contact holes.
[0139] Please refer to Figure 15 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of a passivation layer 114 formed on the side of the source / drain layer away from the substrate 10, according to an embodiment of this application. A first GI layer 116, a first ILD layer 118, and the passivation layer 114 are stacked to form an interlayer structure layer. This interlayer structure layer has a plurality of through-holes K, which are uniformly distributed in a first region of the interlayer structure layer, corresponding to the first connection trace 1131.
[0140] For example, firstly, a SiNx layer is deposited on the side of the source / drain layer away from the substrate 10 to obtain a passivation layer 114. Then, a plurality of through-holes K are formed in the first GI layer 116, the first ILD layer 118, and the passivation layer (i.e., the interlayer structure layer) through a single patterning process.
[0141] In step 1006, a target film layer is formed on the side of the interlayer structure layer away from the substrate, and the target film layer contacts the first connection trace through a contact hole.
[0142] Please refer to Figure 15 The illustration shows a schematic diagram of a target film layer formed on the side of the interlayer structure layer away from the substrate 10, according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 15 Taking the first planarization layer 115 as an example, the first planarization layer 115 contacts the first connection trace 1131 through multiple contact holes K in the interlayer structure layer to make the first connection trace 1131 conductive. For example...Figure 16 As shown, a first connecting hole G penetrating through air is formed in the first planar layer 115 and the passivation layer 114, a second connecting hole N penetrating through air is formed in the first planar layer 115, the passivation layer 114, the first ILD layer 118 and the first GI layer 116, and a third connecting hole H is formed in the first planar layer 115, which is sleeved in the contact hole K in the interlayer structure layer.
[0143] For example, first, an epoxy material layer is formed as the first planar layer 115 on the side of the passivation layer 114 away from the substrate 10. Then, a first connecting hole G penetrating through air is formed in the first planar layer 115 and the passivation layer 114 by a one-time patterning process, a second connecting hole N penetrating through air is formed in the first planar layer 115, the passivation layer 114, the first ILD layer 118 and the first GI layer 116, and a third connecting hole H is formed in the first planar layer 115.
[0144] In step 1007a, a second connecting trace and a fourth connecting trace are formed on the side of the target film layer away from the substrate 10, the second connecting trace and the fourth connecting trace are located in the same layer, the second connecting trace is located in the non-display area, the fourth connecting trace is located in the target display area, the second connecting trace is electrically connected to the first drain through the first connecting hole, the second connecting trace is electrically connected to the first connecting trace through the second connecting hole, and the fourth connecting trace is electrically connected to the first connecting trace through the third connecting hole.
[0145] Please refer to Figure 16 which shows a schematic diagram after the second connecting trace 1132 and the fourth connecting trace 1134 are formed on the side of the target film layer (i.e. the first planar layer 115) away from the substrate 10.

The second connecting trace 1132 is electrically connected to the first drain 1127 of the target drive unit 112A through the first connecting hole G, and the second connecting trace 1132 is electrically connected to the first connecting trace 1131 through the second connecting hole N, and the fourth connecting trace 1134 is electrically connected to the first connecting trace 1131 through the third connecting hole H. As shown in Figure 17 In the process of forming the second connecting trace 1132 and the fourth connecting trace 1134, a connecting trace for connecting the drive unit 112 and the light emitting unit 111 in the non-target display area 1012 in the display area 101 is also formed.
[0146] For example, a metal material layer is formed on the side of the target film layer (i.e., the first flat layer 115) away from the substrate 10, and the metal material layer is processed by a one-time patterning process to obtain the second connection trace 1132 and the fourth connection trace 1134.
[0147] In step 1008a, a second flat layer and a third connection trace are sequentially formed on the side of the second connection trace and the fourth connection trace away from the substrate 10, the third connection trace being a transparent trace, and the third connection trace being located in the target display area.
[0148] Please refer to Figure 18 which shows a schematic diagram after the second flat layer 119 and the third connection trace 1133 are sequentially formed on the side of the second connection trace 1132 and the fourth connection trace 1134 away from the substrate 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. The third connection trace 1133 is located in the target display area 1011. The second flat layer 119 has a fourth connection hole in the region corresponding to the fourth connection line 1134, and the third connection trace 1133 is electrically connected to the fourth connection line 1134 through the fourth connection hole.
[0149] For example, first, an acrylic material layer is formed on the side of the second connection trace 1132 and the fourth connection trace 1134 away from the substrate 10, and the acrylic material layer is processed by a one-time patterning process to obtain the second flat layer 119. Then, an ITO material layer is formed on the side of the second flat layer 119 away from the substrate 10, and the ITO material layer is processed by a one-time patterning process to obtain the third connection trace 1133.
[0150] In step 1009a, a third flat layer and a fifth connection trace are sequentially formed on the side of the third connection trace away from the substrate 10, the fifth connection trace being a transparent trace, and the fifth connection trace being located in the target display area.
[0151] Please refer to Figure 4 which shows a schematic diagram after the third flat layer 120 and the fifth connection trace 1135 are sequentially formed on the side of the third connection trace 1133 away from the substrate 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. The fifth connection trace 1135 is a transparent trace, and the fifth connection trace 1135 is located in the target display area 1011. The third flat layer 120 has a fifth connection hole in the region corresponding to the fourth connection line 1134, and the fifth connection trace 1135 is electrically connected to the third connection trace 1133 through the fifth connection hole. The first connection trace 1131, the second connection trace 132, the third connection trace 1133, the fourth connection trace 1134, and the fifth connection trace 1135 constitute a target connection structure 113.
[0152] For example, first, an epoxy material layer is formed on the side of the fifth connection trace 1135 away from the substrate 10, and the epoxy material layer is processed by a one-time patterning process to obtain the fourth planar layer 121. Then, an ITO material layer is formed on the side of the fourth planar layer 121 away from the substrate 10, and the ITO material layer is processed by a one-time patterning process to obtain the fifth connection trace 1135.
[0153] In step 1010a, a fourth planar layer and a light emitting unit are sequentially formed on the side of the fifth connection trace away from the substrate.
[0154] A schematic view after the fourth planar layer 121 and the light emitting unit 111 are sequentially formed on the side of the fifth connection trace 1135 away from the substrate 10 can be referred to Figure 10 . The light emitting unit 111 includes an anode 1111, a light emitting layer 1112, and a cathode 1113 sequentially formed in the direction away from the substrate 10. The anode 1111 covers the fourth connection trace 1134 on the substrate 10 in orthographic projection. The anode 1111 is electrically connected to the fifth connection trace 1135 through an anode connection hole penetrating the fourth planar layer 121.
[0155] Optionally, the fourth planar layer 121, the anode 1111, a pixel definition layer 125, a spacer layer 126, the light emitting layer 1112, and the cathode 1113 are sequentially formed on the side of the fifth connection trace 1135 away from the substrate 10, the pixel definition layer 125 defines a plurality of sub-pixel regions, the anode 1111, the light emitting layer 1112, and the cathode 1113 are stacked to form the light emitting unit 111, and the light emitting unit 111 is located in the sub-pixel region.
[0156] For example, first, an epoxy material layer is formed on the side of the fifth connection trace 1135 away from the substrate 10, and the epoxy material layer is processed by a one-time patterning process to obtain the fourth planar layer 121. Then, an ITO material layer is formed on the side of the fourth planar layer 121 away from the substrate 10, and the ITO material layer is processed by a one-time patterning process to obtain the fifth connection trace 1135.
[0157] In steps 1001 to 1010a above, the process for forming the material layer can be deposition, magnetron sputtering, thermal evaporation, or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
[0158] In summary, the display substrate manufacturing method provided in this application has the following advantages: In the display substrate manufactured by this method, sub-pixels include light-emitting units and driving units. The driving unit includes a target functional film layer. The display area of the display substrate includes a target display area. The target driving unit of the target light-emitting unit in the target display area is located in the non-display area of the display substrate. The target light-emitting unit and the target driving unit are electrically connected through a target connection structure. The portion of the target connection structure located in the target display area is a transparent structure. The target connection structure includes a first connection trace, which is in the same layer and made of the same material as the target functional film layer. Because the first connection trace and the target functional film layer are in the same layer and made of the same material, they can be fabricated in a single patterning process. This helps reduce the number of patterning processes required in the manufacturing of the display substrate, simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing the manufacturing cost of the display substrate.

Then, an ITO material layer is formed on the side of the first planar layer 115 away from the substrate substrate 10, and the ITO material layer is processed by a one-time patterning process to obtain the third connection trace 1133. Alternatively, an ITO material layer can be formed on the side of the target film layer (i.e. the first planar layer 115) away from the substrate substrate 10, and the ITO material layer is processed by a one-time patterning process to obtain the third connection trace 1133, and then a metal material layer is formed on the side of the target film layer (i.e. the first planar layer 115) away from the substrate substrate 10, and the metal material layer is processed by a one-time patterning process to obtain the second connection trace 1132. The present application does not limit the order of forming the second connection trace 1132 and the third connection trace 1133.

The anode 1111 of the target light-emitting unit 111A is electrically connected to the first connecting line 1131 through this anode connection hole. For The display substrate shown has a target connection structure 113 formed by the first connection trace 1131 and the second connection trace 1132.

Here, taking the positive photoresist as an example for description, when the photoresist is a negative photoresist, the process of the one-time patterning process can refer to the description in this paragraph, and the embodiment of the present application will not be described here.
