[0035] Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description of the exemplary embodiments is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure and its application or use. The present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure thorough and complete and to fully express the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the components and steps, the composition of the materials, the numerical expressions and the numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments should be interpreted as being merely exemplary and not as limiting.

[0036] The words "first", "second" and similar words used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different parts. The words "include" or "comprise" and similar words mean that the elements before the word include the elements listed after the word, and do not exclude the possibility of including other elements. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0037] In the present disclosure, when a specific device is described as being located between a first device and a second device, there may or may not be an intermediate device between the specific device and the first device or the second device. When a specific device is described as being connected to other devices, the specific device may be directly connected to the other device without an intermediate device, or may not be directly connected to the other device but have an intermediate device.

[0038] All terms (including technical terms or scientific terms) used in the present disclosure have the same meanings as those understood by ordinary technicians in the field to which the present disclosure belongs, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in general dictionaries, such as general dictionaries, should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or extremely formal sense, unless explicitly defined herein.

[0039] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.

[0040] When the package fails (for example, the CVD structure breaks partially and produces gaps), the gaps in the organic layer or inorganic layer will become a water vapor path. Water vapor enters the panel through the cracks or gaps. When water vapor invades the organic material of the OLED, it will cause the organic material to oxidize and fail, and it will not emit light. As water vapor continues to invade through the gaps, the failure area gradually expands, causing a characteristic defect in the display device - a growing dark spot (GDS).

[0041] Research has found that there are a large number of signal lines led out of the display area. In order to reduce the space occupied by the signal lines, signal lines located in different layers and with smaller spacing are used to lead out in the fan-out area outside the AA area. Due to the difference in film thickness between adjacent signal lines, when the spacing area between adjacent signal lines overlaps with the edge of the organic layer trench used to achieve metal overlap between different layers or block water vapor, the metal layer formed on the upper side of the adjacent signal lines is prone to breakage due to the large difference in the film layer, causing the encapsulation layer formed on the metal layer by the CVD process to peel off or break, thereby increasing the risk of water vapor invading the circuit structure or the light-emitting material, thereby affecting the display effect and service life of the display device.

[0042] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate and a display panel, which can improve the performance of a display device.

[0066] refer to Figures 3A-3C In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the sixth portion 31a on the substrate substrate 10 partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first portion 50a on the substrate substrate 10 and is electrically connected, the orthographic projections of the two seventh portions 31b on the substrate substrate 10 respectively overlap with the orthographic projections of the two second portions 50b on the substrate substrate 10 and are electrically connected, and the orthographic projection of the eighth portion 31c on the substrate substrate 10 partially overlaps with the fifth portion 50e and the fan-out area 12a, and is electrically connected to the fifth portion 50e.

[0067] In addition, refer to Figure 3C In some embodiments, the sixth portion 31a is symmetrical with respect to a symmetry axis perpendicular to the fourth boundary, the two seventh portions 31b are symmetrical with respect to the symmetry axis, and the eighth portion 31c is symmetrical with respect to the symmetry axis and is T-shaped.

[0068] refer to Figure 3A and Figure 3C The orthographic projection of the second power line 32 on the base substrate 10 partially overlaps with the fan-out area 12a, and does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the eighth portion 31c on the base substrate.

[0069] An organic insulating layer 40 is provided between the first metal layer 30 and the first electrode layer 50. The first power line 31 or the second power line 32 and the first electrode layer 50 can be overlapped by providing a groove located in the non-display area 12 on the organic insulating layer 40 and penetrating the organic insulating layer 40 in a direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10. In addition, providing grooves at some positions can prevent water vapor from entering the display area, thereby reducing the adverse effects of water vapor on the display area.

[0070] In some embodiments, Figure 3A The grooves in the substrate include a first groove 41 and a second groove 42. The orthographic projection of the first groove 41 on the substrate substrate is located in the area between the adjacent fan-out sub-areas of at least two fan-out sub-areas included in the fan-out area 11a. The second groove 42 is horizontally arranged between the display area 11 and the bending area 11b, and its orthographic projection on the substrate substrate can partially overlap with the fan-out area 11a, the first electrode layer 40 and the second metal line 32. It should be noted that the grooves are not limited to being arranged in Figure 3A Position shown.

[0071] refer to Figure 3A In some embodiments, the groove can be configured such that: the groove at least partially overlaps between the orthographic projection of the base substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the fan-out area 12a on the base substrate 10, and overlaps in a first overlapping area B4, and at least a portion of the first overlapping area B4 does not overlap with the first electrode layer 50 in the orthographic projection of the base substrate 10.

[0072] exist Figure 3A In the embodiment, the first overlap region B4 where the orthographic projection of the groove overlaps with the fan-out region 12a includes the overlapped portion of the orthographic projection of the second groove 42 and the fan-out region 12a (eg Figure 3A The orthographic projection of the first electrode layer 50 on the base substrate 10 does not include the first overlap area B4. This avoids the problem of overlap between the signal line layer in the fan-out area and the edge of the groove in the direction perpendicular to the base substrate.

[0073] Figure 4A-4C They are Figure 3A Schematic diagram of the hierarchical structure of positions B1, B2 and B3. Figure 4D yes Figure 3A Schematic diagram of the layout of the first electrode layer, the second organic insulating layer, the first organic insulating layer and the signal line layer at position B. Figure 5A It is a layout schematic diagram showing the overlap of the first overlap area of ​​the display substrate and the orthographic projection of the second metal layer on the base substrate in the comparison scheme. Figure 5B and Figure 5C They are Figure 5A Schematic diagram of the hierarchy of positions A1 and A2.

[0074] To better understand this issue, refer to Figure 5A If the orthographic projection of the first electrode layer 50 on the substrate overlaps with the first overlap region, for example Figure 5A If the positions A1 and A2 encircled by the dotted lines overlap, the multiple signal lines densely distributed in the signal line layer in the fan-out area and located in different layers are likely to cause a large film layer drop of the organic insulating layer at the edge of the groove, making the surface of the first electrode layer covering the inside and outside of the groove easy to be damaged or broken, and the stress after damage or breakage increases, and the adhesion between the encapsulation layer formed by the CVD process and the first electrode layer is weakened, resulting in cracks or shedding of the encapsulation layer. The cracks formed in this way may become water vapor paths that invade the circuit structure or light-emitting material of the display substrate, thereby affecting the display effect and life of the display substrate.

[0075] refer to Figure 5A and Figure 5B , from the perspective of looking down at the display substrate, the first groove 41, the signal line layer 20, the first power line 31 and the first electrode layer 50 overlap at position A1. Figure 5B In the hierarchical structure of the position A1, the signal line layer 20 includes a first signal line layer 21 and a second signal line layer 22. The first signal line layer 21 includes a plurality of first signal lines 21a and 21b among the plurality of signal lines, and the second signal line layer 22 includes a plurality of second signal lines 22a and 22b among the plurality of signal lines. At least part of the plurality of second signal lines 22a and 22b extends in parallel with at least part of the plurality of first signal lines 21a and 21b and is arranged alternately, for example Figure 5B In the figure, from left to right along the horizontal direction are the first signal line 21a, the second signal line 22a, the first signal line 21b and the second signal line 22b.

[0076] The first signal line and the second signal line are located in different signal line layers, respectively, and the signal lines in different layers may be separated by an insulating layer. Figure 5B In the embodiment, the base substrate 10 is covered with a buffer layer 23, and the first signal lines 21a and 21b are formed on the surface of the buffer layer 23. The signal line layer 20 further includes a first insulating layer 24 and a second insulating layer 25, the first insulating layer 24 covers the surfaces of the first signal lines 21a, 21b and the buffer layer 23, the second signal lines 22a and 22b are formed on the surface of the first insulating layer 24, and the second insulating layer 25 covers the surfaces of the second signal lines 22a, 22b and the first insulating layer 24.

[0077] refer to Figure 5B and Figure 5C The display substrate further includes a second metal layer 34. The first metal layer 30 and the second metal layer 34 may be separated by a passivation layer 33. Figure 5BIn the embodiment, the passivation layer 32 is located between the first power line 31 and the second metal layer 34. The first power line 31 is formed on the second insulating layer 25, and the passivation layer 33 has a first via hole at a position corresponding to the first groove 41, so that the second metal layer 34 is electrically connected to the first power line 31 through the first via hole.

[0078] exist Figure 5B In the fan-out region, the adjacent first signal line 21a and the second signal line 22a are located in different layers due to their small spacing and large film thickness difference, and the transition angle between the two is steep, which makes the non-flat layer material (such as an inorganic layer or a metal layer) formed above the two have a large slope difference. Here, the area between the adjacent first signal lines and the second signal lines in the plurality of first signal lines and the plurality of second signal lines parallel to the substrate and perpendicular to the extension direction of the plurality of first signal lines or the extension direction of the plurality of second signal lines is defined as the spacing area, for example Figure 5B The spacing area 26 is shown in the dashed box.

[0079] refer to Figure 5B and Figure 5C In some embodiments, the organic insulating layer 40 may include a second organic insulating layer 40a between the first electrode layer 50 and the second metal layer 34 and a first organic insulating layer 40b between the passivation layer 33 and the second metal layer 34. The first groove 41 is formed in the first organic insulating layer 40a and the second organic insulating layer 40b.

[0080] When the edge of the first groove 41 on the orthographic projection of the base substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the spacing area 26 between the orthographic projections of the base substrate 10, at least one cross section of the first signal line 21a corresponds to the inside of the first groove 41, and at least one cross section of the second signal line 22a corresponds to the outside of the first groove 41. In other words, the edge of the first groove 41 may intersect with the adjacent first signal line and the second signal line, or be located between the first signal line and the second signal line and parallel to the first signal line or the second signal line.

[0081] There is no planarization layer material between the first electrode layer 50 and the second metal layer 34 and between the second metal layer 34 and the passivation layer 33 at the position corresponding to the bottom of the first groove 41, and there is a planarization layer material between the first electrode layer 50 and the second metal layer 34 at the position outside the first groove 41, which further increases the film thickness difference above the first signal line 21a and the second signal line 22a, which makes the first electrode layer 50 above the first signal line 21a and the second signal line 22a more likely to be damaged or broken at the position corresponding to the spacing area 26 due to the large film thickness difference and steep slope change. The damage or breakage of the first electrode layer 50 further weakens the adhesion between the encapsulation layer 60 and the first electrode layer 50, thereby causing the encapsulation layer 60 to fall off or break (for example, Figure 5B The crack 61 of the encapsulation layer 60 is shown.

[0082] refer to Figure 5A and Figure 5C Position A2 also has similar problems as position A1. From the perspective of looking down at the display substrate, the second groove 42, the signal line layer 20, the second power line 32 and the first electrode layer 50 overlap at position A2. Figure 5C In the hierarchical structure of the position A2, the second metal layer 34 is located between the passivation layer 33 and the signal line layer 20. The second power line 32 is insulated from the second metal layer 34 by the passivation layer 33 in the second groove 42. Since there is a large difference in film thickness above the first signal line 21a and the second signal line 22a, the first electrode layer 50 located above the first signal line 21a and the second signal line 22a becomes more likely to be damaged or broken at the position corresponding to the spacing area 26 due to the large difference in film thickness and the steeper slope change. The damage or breakage of the first electrode layer 50 further weakens the adhesion between the encapsulation layer 60 and the first electrode layer 50, thereby causing the encapsulation layer 60 to fall off or break (for example, Figure 5B The crack 61 of the encapsulation layer 60 is shown.

[0083] It can be understood from the above description that when the spacing area of ​​adjacent signal lines located in different layers within the signal line layer partially overlaps with the edge of the groove of the organic insulating layer, a large film thickness difference can be formed above the adjacent signal lines. Correspondingly, if the first electrode layer covers the inside and outside of the groove, the film thickness difference can easily cause damage or breakage of the first electrode layer. Therefore, when forming the first electrode layer, the embodiment of the present disclosure makes the orthographic projections of the first electrode layer, the groove and the signal line layer on the base substrate not overlap, thereby reducing or avoiding the risk of damage or breakage of the first electrode layer.

[0084] refer to Figure 3A , Figure 4A-4D , looking down at the display substrate, we can see that compared to Figure 5A The first electrode layer in Figure 3A The range covered by the first electrode layer 50 does not include the overlapped portion of the groove and the fan-out region. In other words, the first electrode layer 50 bypasses the overlapped portion of the groove and the fan-out region.

[0085] refer to Figure 3A In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first power line 31 on the base substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the first electrode layer 50 on the base substrate 10 at least partially overlap in a second overlapping region. The fan-out region 12a may include at least two fan-out sub-regions, and the second overlapping region may be located in a spacing region between adjacent fan-out sub-regions of the at least two fan-out sub-regions.

[0086] For example, in Figure 3A In the embodiment, the eighth T-shaped portion of the first power line 31 is located between the two fan-out sub-areas, and its orthographic projection overlaps the two fan-out sub-areas slightly. The second overlapping area of ​​the orthographic projection of the first electrode layer 50 on the base substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the eighth T-shaped portion on the base substrate 10 is rectangular. The orthographic projection of the first groove 41 included in the groove on the base substrate 10 is located in the second overlapping area. The first electrode layer 50 can overlap the first power line 31 in the first groove 41.

[0087] exist Figure 3A The position B1 marked by the dotted line does not correspond to the fan-out area, so there is no signal line layer. Its hierarchical structure is as follows Figure 4A Reference Figure 4A and Figure 4B In some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a second metal layer 34. The second metal layer 34 includes a second metal portion. The first metal layer 30 and the second metal layer 34 may be separated by a passivation layer 33. In some embodiments, the number of the grooves is multiple, such as a first groove 41 and a second groove 42. The second metal portion may be electrically connected to the first power line 31 and the first electrode portion through at least some of the grooves.

[0088] exist Figure 4A, the passivation layer 33 is located between the first power line 31 and the second metal layer 34. The first power line 31 is formed on the second insulating layer 25. The passivation layer 33 has a first via hole corresponding to the first groove 41, so that the first power line 31 is electrically connected to the second metal layer 34 through the first via hole. The inside of the first groove 41 is the encapsulation layer 60, the first electrode layer 50, the second metal layer 34, the first power line 31, the second insulating layer 25, the first insulating layer 24, the buffer layer 23 and the base substrate 10 from top to bottom. The outside of the first groove 41 is the encapsulation layer 60, the first electrode layer 50, the first organic insulating layer 40a, the second metal layer 34, the second organic insulating layer 40b, the passivation layer 33, the first power line 31, the second insulating layer 25, the first insulating layer 24, the buffer layer 23 and the base substrate 10 from top to bottom.

[0089] Compared with the film thickness difference formed by the signal lines located in different layers and close to each other in the fan-out area, although there is also a film thickness difference formed by the first organic insulating layer 40a, the second organic insulating layer 40b and the passivation layer 33 inside and outside the first groove 41, its slope changes more gently, so it is not easy to cause damage or breakage of the first electrode layer 50, thereby reducing the risk of breakage or falling off of the encapsulation layer 60, thereby reducing the risk of GDS, and improving the display effect and service life of the display device.

[0090] refer to Figure 3A and Figure 4B The orthographic projection of the second power line 32 on the base substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the fan-out area 12a, and overlaps in a third overlapping area. The groove includes a second groove 42, and the orthographic projection of the second groove 42 on the base substrate 10 partially overlaps with the third overlapping area. The third overlapping area is located between the orthographic projection of the second groove 42 on the base substrate 10 and the display area 11.

[0091] for Figure 3A The position B2 marked by the dotted line, Figure 4B A schematic diagram of the hierarchy of position B2 is provided. Figure 4B The signal line layer 20 includes a first signal line layer 21 and a second signal line layer 22. The first signal line layer 21 includes a plurality of first signal lines 21a and 21b among the plurality of signal lines, and the second signal line layer 22 includes a plurality of second signal lines 22a and 22b among the plurality of signal lines. At least a portion of the plurality of second signal lines 22a and 22b extends in parallel with at least a portion of the plurality of first signal lines 21a and 21b and is arranged alternately.

[0092] The first signal line and the second signal line are located in different signal line layers, respectively, and the signal lines in different layers may be separated by an insulating layer. Figure 4BIn the embodiment, the base substrate 10 is covered with a buffer layer 23, and the first signal lines 21a and 21b are formed on the surface of the buffer layer 23. The signal line layer 20 further includes a first insulating layer 24 and a second insulating layer 25, the first insulating layer 24 covers the surfaces of the first signal lines 21a, 21b and the buffer layer 23, the second signal lines 22a and 22b are formed on the surface of the first insulating layer 24, and the second insulating layer 25 covers the surfaces of the second signal lines 22a, 22b and the first insulating layer 24.

[0093] The first metal layer 30 is separated from the second metal layer 34 by the passivation layer 32. For example, the passivation layer 32 is located between the second power line 32 and the second metal layer 34. The second power line 32 is formed on the second insulating layer 25. At a position corresponding to the second groove 42, the passivation layer 32 has a second via hole corresponding to the second groove 42, so that the second metal layer 34 is electrically connected to the second power line 32 through the second via hole.

[0094] At the position corresponding to the second groove 42, the orthographic projection of the spacing area between the first signal line 21a and the second signal line 22a on the base substrate at least partially overlaps with the edge of the orthographic projection of the second groove 42 on the base substrate 10. Although there is a difference in film thickness above the first signal line 21a and the second signal line 22a, since the first electrode layer 50 is not covered inside and outside the second groove 42, the first electrode layer 50 is prevented from being damaged or broken at the edge of the second groove 42.

[0095] refer to Figure 3A and Figure 4C , arbitrarily select a position where the first electrode layer 50, the second power line 32 and the fan-out area 12a overlap in the angle of looking down at the display substrate, such as position B3, at which there is no groove located in the organic insulating layer. Figure 4C , the second power line 32 is separated from the second metal layer 34 by the passivation layer 33. Although there are different film thickness differences above the first signal lines 21a, 21b and the second signal lines 22a, 22b that are adjacent and in different layers, the first organic insulating layer 40a between the first electrode layer 50 and the second metal layer 34 and the second organic insulating layer 40b between the second metal layer 34 and the passivation layer 33 respectively serve as planarization layers to improve the flatness above the first signal line and the second signal line, reduce or avoid the risk of damage to the first electrode layer 50, thereby reducing the risk of breakage or detachment of the encapsulation layer 60, thereby reducing the risk of GDS, and improving the display effect and service life of the display device.

[0096] refer to Figure 2B , Figure 3A-Figure 4CThe display substrate includes a first metal layer 30 and a second metal layer 34 located on a side of the first metal layer 30 away from the base substrate 10. In some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a connecting electrode 75. The connecting electrode 75 is located between the drain electrode 74 of the thin film transistor of the display sub-pixel and the anode electrode 51 of the display sub-pixel, and is electrically connected to the drain electrode 74 and the anode electrode 51 respectively.

[0097] In some embodiments, the connection electrode 75 is a part of the second metal layer 34, so that the part of the second metal layer 34 located in the non-display area can be formed by the same patterning process as the connection electrode 75 located in the display area, thereby simplifying the processing steps. The organic insulating layer 40 includes a first organic insulating layer 40a located between the first metal layer 30 and the second metal layer 34 and a second organic insulating layer 40b located between the second metal layer 34 and the first electrode layer 50.

[0098] refer to Figure 4D The groove includes a first groove portion located in the first organic insulating layer 40a and a second groove portion located in the second organic insulating layer 40b. Figure 4D In the figure, the two edges 43 of the first groove portion correspond to the solid material of the first organic insulating layer 40a, and the upper and lower sides of the two edges 43 correspond to the hollowed-out portion of the first organic insulating layer 40a. The two edges 44 of the second groove portion are located between the two edges 43 of the first groove portion, and the edge 44 at the lower right corner is a rectangle with a slightly smaller size. The two edges 44 correspond to the second organic insulating layer 40b, and the rectangle at the lower right corner corresponds to the hollowed-out portion of the second organic insulating layer 40b, while the other positions correspond to the solid material of the second organic insulating layer 40b.

[0099] The signal line layer 20 is an isosceles trapezoid in a top view, and the hypotenuse boundary 27 of the signal line layer 20 intersects with the edge 44 of the second groove portion at position C1, and intersects with the edge 43 of the first groove portion at position C2. As described above, signal lines of different layers in the signal line layer 20 are adjacent to each other, and when they intersect with the groove edge, it is easy to cause a greater thickness difference between the inside and outside of the groove. Therefore, at position C1, the second organic insulating layer 40b can be covered on the edge 43 of the first groove portion to make this position more flat.

[0100] At the C2 position, the signal line layer 20 intersects with the edge 43 of the first groove portion, and this position can be made flatter by covering the edge 43 of the first groove portion with the second organic insulating layer 40b, and correspondingly, the first electrode layer 50 is allowed to cover this position to avoid the problem of the first electrode portion covering it being easily broken due to the uneven edge 43 of the first groove portion.

[0101] exist Figure 4DAt the lower right position, the hollowed-out portion of the first groove portion and the hollowed-out portion of the second groove portion overlap, for example Figure 4D At position C3, since the first groove portion and the second groove portion at this position do not overlap with the signal line layer 20, the first electrode layer 50 is allowed to cover this position. Figure 4A , thereby avoiding the problem of the first electrode portion covering this position being easily broken.

[0102] In the above embodiments, the second metal layer 34 may be electrically connected to the first power line 31 through the first groove portion 43 , and to the first electrode portion through the second groove portion 44 .

[0103] The above display substrate embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to various display devices. Therefore, the present disclosure also provides a display device, including the above display substrate. The display device can be: a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a monitor, a laptop computer, a digital photo frame, a navigator, or any other product or component with a display function.
