By using different semiconductor materials and structures, LED chips have the advantages of simple structure, small size, energy saving, high efficiency, long life, clear light, etc. In recent years, they have gradually replaced traditional lighting fixtures such as incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps, and are becoming the mainstream product in the new generation lighting market.

[0032] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a plurality of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0033] In this specification, for the sake of convenience, the words and phrases indicating the orientation or positional relationship, such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., are used to illustrate the positional relationship of the constituent elements with reference to the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the constituent elements is appropriately changed according to the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, it is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification, and can be appropriately replaced according to the situation.

[0034] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate, or the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the meanings of the above terms in this disclosure can be understood according to the circumstances.

[0035] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly limited to allow for process and measurement errors.

[0036] In the optical method, the photosensitive device realizes photoelectric conversion by receiving signal light, thereby realizing the function of optical fingerprint recognition. However, in addition to receiving signal light, the photosensitive device also receives other noise light (i.e., light other than signal light), such as noise light outside the display substrate, or lateral light in the display area and reflected light in the display area. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the ratio of signal light to noise light to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a light-shielding structure pattern is prepared by utilizing the metal film layer of the backplane (BP) process segment to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0037] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate, including a substrate, a light emitting device, a photosensitive device and a light shielding structure arranged on the substrate, wherein the light shielding structure is located around the photosensitive device and configured to shield the light emitted by the light emitting device toward the photosensitive device. The light shielding structure may use an existing film layer of the display substrate, or a new film layer.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, a metal film layer of a BP process can be used. For example, a source-drain layer SD is used to prepare a light-shielding structure pattern. The light emitted by the light-emitting device is reflected by the finger to the photosensitive device (i.e., signal light), thereby performing fingerprint recognition; the display substrate of the disclosed embodiment utilizes the light-blocking effect of the light-shielding structure to prevent the photosensitive device from receiving the light directly emitted by the light-emitting device and the external ambient light, thereby reducing noise light and enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0040] The principle of fingerprint recognition by the display substrate of this embodiment is as follows: when performing fingerprint recognition, the user's finger will press on the cover plate, and the light emitted by the light-emitting layer will irradiate the cover plate. Since the valley of the finger is not actually in contact with the cover plate, the critical angles for total reflection of the light at the valley and ridge of the fingerprint are different, and the light intensity received by the photosensitive device 18 is different, thereby generating electrical signals of different intensities, so that the valley and ridge of the fingerprint can be determined and a fingerprint pattern can be generated.

[0041] In the display substrate of this embodiment, the active layer 14, the first gate electrode 16, the second gate electrode 17, the source electrode 22 and the drain electrode 23 constitute a thin film transistor, which is electrically connected to the anode 27. The thin film transistor can form a driving circuit of the display substrate of this embodiment.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, the thin film transistor may be a top gate structure, but is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the thin film transistor may be a bottom gate structure.

The shading structure 30 is at least configured to block the light emitted by the light-emitting device toward the photosensitive device 18, so as to prevent the photosensitive device 18 from receiving the light directly emitted by the light-emitting device and the external ambient light, especially the lateral light of the light-emitting device and the reflected light of the light-emitting device, thereby reducing the noise light, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the photosensitive device 18, and further improving the intensity of the light reflected from the finger, which is more conducive to fingerprint recognition.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the shading structure 30 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the photosensitive device 18 on the substrate 10 , thereby preventing the finger reflected light from being blocked by the shading structure 30 and affecting the photosensitive device 18 from receiving the finger reflected light.
