[0066] In order to make the technical solution of the present application better understood by those skilled in the art, a display panel and a display device provided by the present application are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0067] It is found that, with an increase in the number of bending, abnormal pixel points (for example, abnormal bright spots) are easily generated in a display panel in the related art during a bending reliability test and in actual use.
[0068] It is found through research that one of the main reasons for the abnormal bright spots in the related art is that after the display panel is bent multiple times (generally, bending is performed along the extension direction of the data line), micro-cracks are generated at the bending position due to stress concentration of part of the functional film layer, and the micro-cracks are particularly prone to occur at the region where the active area pattern of the data writing transistor in the pixel driving circuit is located. The micro-cracks at the region where the active area pattern of the data writing transistor is located can cause abnormal performance of the data writing transistor, so that in the process of writing the data voltage loaded in the data line to the inside of the pixel driving circuit by the data writing transistor, the case of abnormal data voltage Vdata writing (for example, insufficient data voltage Vdata writing) occurs, and then abnormal light emission of the light emitting element (for example, the light emission brightness of the light emitting element is too bright in the case of insufficient data voltage writing) occurs, that is, abnormal pixel points are formed.
[0069] To effectively solve the above technical problems existing in the related art, the display panel provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.
[0070] It should be noted that the transistor used in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be a thin film transistor or a field effect transistor or other devices with the same or similar characteristics. Since the source and drain of the transistor used are symmetrical, the source and drain are not distinguished. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, one of the poles is referred to as the first pole and the other pole is referred to as the second pole to distinguish the source and drain of the transistor. In addition, the transistor can be divided into N-type and P-type according to the characteristics of the transistor. When a P-type transistor is used, the first pole is the drain of the P-type transistor, and the second pole is the source of the P-type transistor. The N-type is opposite. The N-type transistor is turned on when a high-level signal is applied to the control pole and is turned off when a low-level signal is applied to the control pole. The P-type transistor is turned on when a low-level signal is applied to the control pole and is turned off when a high-level signal is applied to the control pole.
[0071] The light emitting element in the embodiments of the present disclosure is specifically an electroluminescent element, such as a light emitting diode (LED), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED), and the like. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the light emitting element is an organic light emitting diode

Figure 9 for Figure 3 One layout of the first conductive layer in the middle. Figure 10 for Figure 3 A layout of the second conductive layer. For example... Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the display panel includes a substrate 10 and a driving function layer 2, a planarization layer 17, and a second conductive layer 9 arranged sequentially along a direction away from the substrate 10.
[0073] The substrate 10 is a flexible substrate 10, and the material of the substrate 10 includes polyimide (PI) or cycloolefin copolymer (COP).
[0074] The driving functional layer 2 is located on one side of the substrate 10. The driving functional layer 2 includes multiple gate lines (Gates), multiple data lines (Data), and multiple pixel driving circuits 1. The gate lines extend along a first direction X, and the data lines extend along a second direction Y, with the first direction X intersecting the second direction Y. The pixel driving circuits 1 are used to drive corresponding light-emitting elements E to emit light. Each pixel driving circuit 1 includes a data writing transistor T2. The control electrode of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the corresponding gate line (Gate). The first electrode of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the corresponding data line (Data). The data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to a preset node W within the pixel driving circuit 1. The data writing transistor T2 is configured to write the data voltage provided by the data line (Data) to the preset node W within the pixel driving circuit 1 in response to the gate scan signal provided by the gate line (Gate). The driving functional layer 2 includes a first conductive layer 8, which includes multiple conductive patterns. The data lines (Data) are located in the first conductive layer 8; that is, the data lines (Data) are conductive patterns in the first conductive layer 8.
[0075] The planarization layer 17 is located on the side of the driving functional layer 2 away from the substrate 10, and the surface of the planarization layer 17 away from the driving functional layer 2 is a planarization surface, so as to facilitate the preparation of subsequent film layer structures.
[0076] The second conductive layer 9 is located on the side of the planarization layer 17 away from the driving functional layer 2, and the second conductive layer 9 comprises a plurality of conductive patterns.
[0077] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the orthogonal projection of any one conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y in the first conductive layer 8 and located in the region defined by the at least one pixel driving circuit 1 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10; and / or, the orthogonal projection of any one conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y in the second conductive layer 9 and located in the region defined by the at least one pixel driving circuit 1 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10.
[0078] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the region defined by at least part of the pixel driving circuits (for the convenience of description, the region is referred to as a "bending stress reduction region"; the specific position of the "bending stress reduction region" can be pre-set according to actual needs; for example, the "bending stress reduction region" can be the region where a certain row or multiple rows of pixel driving circuits are located, or the region where part of the pixel driving circuits in the display panel are frequently bent, or the region where all the pixel driving circuits are located; here, no example is given for description), the orthogonal projection of any one conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y in the first conductive layer 8 and located in the "bending stress reduction region" on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10, that is, there is no conductive pattern extending in the second direction Y and passing through the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 in the first conductive layer 8 in the "bending stress reduction region", so when the display panel is bent along the second direction Y (i.e., the extension direction of the data line Data) and the bending position is located in the "bending stress reduction region", the first conductive layer 8 does not generate bending stress in the region where the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located, so as to reduce the bending stress in the region where the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located in the "bending stress reduction region" to a certain extent, thereby effectively avoiding the generation of micro-cracks in the functional film layers in the region where the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located, and being beneficial to ensuring the normal performance of the data writing transistor T2, so that the pixel driving circuit 1 can output corresponding driving current, and then the light emitting element E can emit light normally.
[0079] Based on the above, by designing the first conductive layer 8 as described above, the bending stress in the region where the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located within the "bending stress reduction region" can be reduced to some extent, which is conducive to improving the problem of abnormal light emission of the light emitting element E caused by bending stress.
[0080] Similarly, the orthogonal projection of any conductive pattern extending in the second direction Y in the second conductive layer 9 and within the "bending stress reduction region" on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10, that is, there is no conductive pattern extending in the second direction Y in the second conductive layer 9 and within the "bending stress reduction region" that passes through the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2, so when the display panel is bent along the second direction Y (i.e., the extension direction of the data line Data) and the bending position is located in the "bending stress reduction region", the second conductive layer 9 will not generate bending stress in the region where the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located, so the bending stress in the region where the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located within the "bending stress reduction region" can be reduced to some extent, thereby effectively avoiding the generation of micro-cracks in each functional film layer in the region where the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located, which is conducive to ensuring the normal performance of the data writing transistor T2, and the pixel driving circuit 1 can output corresponding driving current, thereby enabling the light emitting element E to emit light normally.
[0081] Based on the above, by designing the second conductive layer 9 as described above, the bending stress in the region where the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located within the "bending stress reduction region" can be reduced to some extent, which is conducive to improving the problem of abnormal light emission of the light emitting element E caused by bending stress.
[0082] It should be noted that the drawings in the above Figure 3 and Figure 4 only exemplarily show the case where the orthogonal projection of any conductive pattern extending in the second direction Y in the first conductive layer 8 and within the region defined by one pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10, and the orthogonal projection of any conductive pattern extending in the second direction Y in the second conductive layer 9 and within the region defined by one pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10, which only serves as an example.
[0083] The skilled in the art should know that, only the first conductive layer 8 is designed as aforementioned (i.e. any one of the conductive patterns extending along the second direction Y in the first conductive layer 8 and located within the area defined by one pixel driving circuit has no intersection with the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10, while in the second conductive layer 9 and within the area defined by the same pixel driving circuit, there is a conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y and having an intersection with the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10; this case is not given corresponding drawings), or only the second conductive layer 9 is designed as aforementioned (i.e. any one of the conductive patterns extending along the second direction Y in the second conductive layer 9 and located within the area defined by the same pixel driving circuit has no intersection with the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10, while in the first conductive layer 8 and within the area defined by the same pixel driving circuit, there is a conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y and having an intersection with the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10; this case is not given corresponding drawings), both of the two cases can reduce the bending stress of the area where the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located to some extent, which is beneficial to improve the problem of abnormal light emission of the light emitting element E caused by the bending stress.
[0084] In some embodiments, the projection of any one of the conductive patterns in the first conductive layer 8 and located within the area defined by at least one pixel driving circuit 1 (i.e. the aforementioned "bending stress reduction area") on the substrate 10 has no intersection with the projection of the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10; and / or, the projection of any one of the conductive patterns in the second conductive layer 9 and located within the area defined by at least one pixel driving circuit (i.e. the aforementioned "bending stress reduction area") on the substrate 10 has no intersection with the projection of the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10.
[0085] Since the orthogonal projection of any one conductive pattern in the first conductive layer 8 and located in the area defined by the at least one pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10 (the first conductive layer 8 forms an avoidance in the area where the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located in the "bending stress reduction area"), when the flexible substrate is bent in any direction and the bending position is located in the "bending stress reduction area", the area where the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located in the "bending stress reduction area" of the first conductive layer 8 will not generate bending stress, so as to reduce the bending stress at the area where the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located to a certain extent, thereby effectively avoiding the micro-cracks of the functional film layers at the area where the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located.
[0086] Similarly, since the orthogonal projection of any one conductive pattern in the second conductive layer 9 and located in the area defined by the at least one pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10 (the first conductive layer 8 forms an avoidance in the area where the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located in the "bending stress reduction area"), when the flexible substrate is bent in any direction, the area where the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located in the "bending stress reduction area" of the second conductive layer 9 will not generate bending stress, so as to reduce the bending stress at the area where the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located to a certain extent, thereby effectively avoiding the micro-cracks of the functional film layers at the area where the active area pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is located.
[0087] In some embodiments, the pixel driving circuit 1 further comprises a driving transistor T1 and a threshold compensation transistor T3; the control electrode of the driving transistor T1 is electrically connected with the first electrode of the threshold compensation transistor T3, the first electrode of the driving transistor T1 is electrically connected with a preset node W, the second electrode of the driving transistor T1 is electrically connected with the second electrode of the threshold compensation transistor T3, and the control electrode of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is electrically connected with a corresponding gate line Gate.
[0088] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the data voltage is written into the preset node W in the pixel driving circuit 1 through the data writing transistor T2, the data voltage after threshold compensation needs to be written into the control electrode of the driving transistor T1 through the threshold compensation transistor T3, and the performance of the threshold compensation transistor T3 also determines whether the data voltage after threshold compensation can be normally written into the control electrode of the driving transistor T1.
[0089] In order to avoid the problem that the functional film layers produce micro-cracks at the region where the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located, causing abnormal performance of the threshold compensation transistor T3; in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the orthographic projection of any conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y in the first conductive layer 8 and located in the region defined by the at least one pixel driving circuit (i.e., the aforementioned “bending stress reduction region”) on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10; and / or, the orthographic projection of any conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y in the second conductive layer 9 and located in the region defined by the at least one pixel driving circuit (i.e., the aforementioned “bending stress reduction region”) on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10.
[0090] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the orthographic projection of any conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y in the first conductive layer 8 and located in the “bending stress reduction region” on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10, that is, there is no conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y and passing through the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 in the first conductive layer 8 and located in the aforementioned “bending stress reduction region”, therefore, when the display panel is bent along the second direction Y (i.e., the extension direction of the data line Data) and the bending position is located in the “bending stress reduction region”, the first conductive layer 8 does not produce bending stress at the region where the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located, so that the bending stress at the region where the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located in the “bending stress reduction region” can be reduced to a certain extent, thereby effectively avoiding the problem that the functional film layers produce micro-cracks at the region where the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located, and facilitating to ensure the normal performance of the threshold compensation transistor T3, so that the pixel driving circuit 1 can output corresponding driving current, and then the light emitting element E can emit light normally.
[0091] Based on the above, by designing the first conductive layer 8 as described above, the bending stress at the region where the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located in the “bending stress reduction region” can be reduced to a certain extent, which is conducive to improving the problem that the light emitting element E emits light abnormally due to bending stress.
[0092] Similarly, since any one of the conductive patterns in the second conductive layer 9 and located in the "bending stress reduction area" extending in the second direction Y has no intersection with the normal projection of the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10, that is, there is no conductive pattern in the second conductive layer 9 and located in the "bending stress reduction area" extending in the second direction Y and passing through the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3, when the display panel is bent along the second direction Y (i.e., the extension direction of the data line Data), the second conductive layer 9 will not generate bending stress in the region where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located, so as to reduce the bending stress in the region where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located in the "bending stress reduction area" to a certain extent, thereby effectively avoiding the functional film layers from generating micro-cracks in the region where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located, and facilitating to ensure the performance of the threshold compensation transistor T3 normal, so that the pixel driving circuit 1 can output corresponding driving current, and then the light emitting element E can emit light normally.
[0093] Based on the above, it can be seen that by designing the second conductive layer 9 as described above, the bending stress in the region where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located in the "bending stress reduction area" can be reduced to a certain extent, which is conducive to improving the problem of abnormal light emission of the light emitting element E caused by bending stress.
[0094] It should be noted that, the above-mentioned Figure 3 and the above-mentioned Figure 4In the case that the orthogonal projection of any one of the conductive patterns extending along the second direction Y in the first conductive layer 8 and located within the region defined by one pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10, and the orthogonal projection of any one of the conductive patterns extending along the second direction Y in the second conductive layer 9 and located within the region defined by one pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10, this case only serves as an example. Those skilled in the art should know that only the first conductive layer 8 is designed as described above (i.e., the orthogonal projection of any one of the conductive patterns extending along the second direction Y in the first conductive layer 8 and located within the region defined by one pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10, while the second conductive layer 9 has a conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y and overlapping with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10; this case does not have a corresponding figure), or only the second conductive layer 9 is designed as described above (i.e., the orthogonal projection of any one of the conductive patterns extending along the second direction Y in the second conductive layer 9 and located within the region defined by one pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10, while the first conductive layer 8 has a conductive pattern extending along the second direction Y and overlapping with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10; this case does not have a corresponding figure), both of which can reduce the bending stress of the region where the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located to some extent, which is beneficial to improve the problem of abnormal light emission of the light emitting element E caused by the bending stress.
[0095] In some embodiments, the orthogonal projection of any one of the conductive patterns in the first conductive layer 8 and located within the region defined by at least one pixel driving circuit 1 (i.e., the aforementioned "bending stress reduction region") on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10; and / or, the orthogonal projection of any one of the conductive patterns in the second conductive layer 9 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the substrate 10.
[0096] Since the orthogonal projection of any one conductive pattern in the first conductive layer 8 and located in the area defined by the at least one pixel driving circuit on the base 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the base 10 (the first conductive layer 8 forms an avoidance in the area where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located in the "bending stress reduction area"), when the flexible substrate is bent in any direction and the bending position is located in the "bending stress reduction area", the area where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located in the "bending stress reduction area" in the first conductive layer 8 will not generate bending stress, so as to reduce the bending stress in the area where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located to a certain extent, thereby effectively avoiding the functional film layers to generate micro-cracks in the area where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located.
[0097] Similarly, since the orthogonal projection of any one conductive pattern in the second conductive layer 9 and located in the area defined by the at least one pixel driving circuit on the base 10 does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 on the base 10 (the first conductive layer 8 forms an avoidance in the area where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located in the "bending stress reduction area"), when the flexible substrate is bent in any direction, the area where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located in the "bending stress reduction area" in the second conductive layer 9 will not generate bending stress, so as to reduce the bending stress in the area where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located to a certain extent, thereby effectively avoiding the functional film layers to generate micro-cracks in the area where the active area pattern T3a of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is located.

[0099] In some embodiments, the working voltage transmission line DD is located in the second conductive layer 9, and the working voltage transmission line DD extends along the second direction Y. That is, the working voltage transmission line DD is a conductive pattern in the second conductive layer 9.
[0100] In some embodiments, the orthogonal projection of the data line Data on the substrate 10 is located at a third side of the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the corresponding data write transistor T2 on the substrate 10; the orthogonal projection of the working voltage transmission line DD on the substrate 10 is located at a fourth side of the orthogonal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the corresponding data write transistor T2 on the substrate 10; the third side and the fourth side are opposite sides in the first direction X.

[0120] Referring to Figure 10As shown, the second conductive layer 9 includes: a working voltage transmission line DD, which extends along the second direction Y; for any pixel driving circuit 1, the orthographic projection of the working voltage transmission line DD corresponding to the pixel driving circuit 1 (i.e., a working voltage transmission line DD that directly contacts the first electrode of the first light-emitting control transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit 1 through a via) onto the substrate 10 is located on the fourth side of the orthographic projection of the active area pattern T4a of the first light-emitting control transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit 1 onto the substrate 10; for example, attached Figure 3 and Figure 4 The orthographic projection of the working voltage transmission line DD corresponding to the pixel driving circuit 1 shown on the substrate 10 is located to the right of the orthographic projection of the active area pattern T2a of the first light-emitting control transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit 1 on the substrate 10.
[0121] In some embodiments, the first electrode 16 in the light-emitting element E may also be located in the second conductive layer 9, that is, the second conductive layer 9 includes the first electrode 16. It should be noted that... Figure 10 The first electrode 16 is not shown in the diagram.
[0122] Figure 11 As described in this embodiment of the disclosure Figure 2A The diagram shows another layout of the pixel driving circuit. Figure 12 for Figure 11 A schematic diagram of a cross-section along the B-B' direction. Figure 13 for Figure 11 One layout of the first conductive layer in the middle. Figure 14 for Figure 11 A layout of the second conductive layer. For example... Figures 11 to 14 As shown, unlike the previous embodiment where the working voltage transmission line DD was located in the second conductive layer 9, in this embodiment, the working voltage transmission line DD is located in the first conductive layer 8. That is, in this embodiment, the working voltage transmission line DD and the data line Data are disposed on the same layer and both are located in the first conductive layer 8.
[0123] Figure 11 The layout structure of the active semiconductor layer 7, the third conductive layer 6, and the fourth conductive layer 5 in the pixel driving circuit 1 shown can be found in [reference needed]. Figures 6 to 8 As shown in the image.
[0124] See Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the orthogonal projection of the data line Data on the substrate 10 is located at the third side of the orthogonal projection of the active area pattern T2a of the corresponding data write transistor T2 on the substrate 10; the orthogonal projection of the working voltage transmission line DD on the substrate 10 is located at the fourth side of the orthogonal projection of the active area pattern T2a of the corresponding data write transistor T2 on the substrate 10; the third side and the fourth side are opposite sides in the first direction X. For example, the third side and the fourth side are respectively the left side and the right side in FIG. 1. Figure 11
[0125] In some embodiments, the plurality of conductive patterns in the second conductive layer 9 comprises: a plurality of first working voltage connection lines 18 and a plurality of second working voltage connection lines 19, the first working voltage connection lines 18 extend along the second direction Y, and the second working voltage connection lines 19 extend along a third direction, which is intersected with the second direction Y.
[0126] In some embodiments, the third direction is the same as the first direction X. Referring to FIG. 1, the third direction is the same as the first direction X. Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the second working voltage connection line 19 extends along the first direction X, and the orthogonal projection of the second working voltage connection line 19 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the gate line Gate on the substrate 10. Of course, the third direction in the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be intersected with the first direction X and the second direction Y, and no corresponding figures are given in this case.
[0127] Each second working voltage connection line 19 is electrically connected with at least two first working voltage transmission lines DD, and any first working voltage connection line 18 is electrically connected with other first working voltage connection lines 18; the working voltage transmission line DD is electrically connected with the first working voltage connection line 18.
[0128] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of first working voltage connection lines 18 and the plurality of second working voltage connection lines 19 form a mesh structure and are parallel to each working voltage transmission line DD, so that the working voltage loaded on each working voltage transmission line DD is consistent, and the equivalent resistance of each working voltage transmission line DD is effectively reduced, so as to ensure that the working voltage provided by each working voltage transmission line DD to the corresponding pixel driving circuit 1 is consistent.
[0129] It should be noted that even if the second working voltage connection line 19 has an overlap with the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10 in some embodiments, since the line width of the second working voltage connection line 19 is generally narrow and the extension direction of the second working voltage connection line 19 is not the second direction Y, the part of the second working voltage connection line 19 located in the region of the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 basically does not produce bending or produces a very small degree of bending, that is, does not produce bending stress or produces a very small degree of bending stress when the display panel is bent along the second direction Y; therefore, the bending stress at the region of the active region pattern T2a of the data writing transistor T2 is not substantially affected.
[0130] In some embodiments, the first working voltage connection line 18 corresponds to the working voltage transmission line DD one by one; the normal projection of the data line Data on the substrate 10 is located on the third side of the normal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the corresponding data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10; the normal projection of the working voltage transmission line DD on the substrate 10 is located on the fourth side of the normal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the corresponding data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10; and the normal projection of the first working voltage connection line 18 on the substrate 10 is located on the fourth side of the normal projection of the active region pattern T2a of the corresponding data writing transistor T2 on the substrate 10.
[0131] In some embodiments, the first working voltage connection line 18 and the working voltage transmission line DD corresponding thereto have an overlap on the substrate 10. Further optionally, the first working voltage connection line 18 and the working voltage transmission line DD corresponding thereto completely overlap on the substrate 10.
