Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the display device 1000 is a mobile phone, and the display device 1000 includes a display panel 100 .

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the display panel 100 includes a display area AA (Active Area, referred to as AA area; also referred to as an effective display area) and a peripheral area BB located at least on one side of the display area AA. In the display area AA, a plurality of pixels P' and a plurality of signal lines arranged in an array are provided. Each pixel P' includes a plurality of sub-pixels SP'. The sub-pixel SP' is the smallest unit for the display panel 100 to display a picture. Each sub-pixel SP' can display a single color, such as red (R), green (G) or blue (B). By adjusting the brightness (grayscale) of the sub-pixels SP' of different colors, the display of multiple colors can be realized through color combination and superposition, thereby realizing full-color display of the display panel 100.

[0060] In some embodiments, each sub-pixel SP' includes a light emitting device and a pixel driving circuit 60 for driving the light emitting device to emit light. All pixel driving circuits 60 in the display panel 100 are also arranged in an array.

Since the source and drain of the transistor can be symmetrical in structure, the source and drain thereof can be structurally indistinguishable, that is, the first electrode and the second electrode of the transistor in the embodiments of the present invention can be structurally indistinguishable. Exemplarily, in the case where the transistor is a P-type transistor, the first electrode of the transistor is the source and the second electrode is the drain; Exemplarily, in the case where the transistor is an N-type transistor, the first electrode of the transistor is the drain and the second electrode is the source.

Each pixel driving circuit 60 is electrically connected to the scanning signal lines GL, the data lines DL, the reset signal lines, the enable signal lines EM, the initialization signal lines Vinit, and the power supply voltage signal lines VDD.

[0065] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the display panel 100 includes an array substrate 10, a light-emitting device layer 20 and an encapsulation layer 30. The array substrate 10 includes: a substrate 40 and a driving circuit layer 50 disposed on the substrate 40, and the driving circuit layer 50 includes a functional layer and an insulating layer located between adjacent functional layers. The functional layer may include an active layer 61, a first gate layer 62, a second gate layer 63, a first source-drain metal layer 64 and a second source-drain metal layer 65, etc. The active layer 61, the first gate layer 62, the second gate layer 63 and the first source-drain metal layer 64 are used to form a plurality of pixel driving circuits 60 in the display panel 100, the light-emitting device layer 20 is disposed on a side of the driving circuit layer 50 away from the substrate 40, and the encapsulation layer 30 is disposed on a side of the light-emitting device layer 20 away from the substrate 40.

The base 41 may be a silicon substrate or may be a flexible material such as polyimide (PI) or saturated polyester (PET), the buffer layer 42 is disposed on the base 41, and the driving circuit layer 50 is disposed on the side of the buffer layer 42 away from the base 41.

[0067] In some examples, the driving circuit layer 50 may include: an active layer 61 disposed on one side of the substrate 40, a first gate layer 62 disposed on a side of the active layer 61 away from the substrate 40, and a second gate layer 63 disposed on a side of the first gate layer 62 away from the substrate 40.

[0068] Figure 4 The active layer patterns of the transistors included in a pixel driving circuit are schematically shown, for example: a first active layer pattern AL1, a second active layer pattern AL2, a third active layer pattern AL3, a fourth active layer pattern AL4, a fifth active layer pattern AL5, a sixth active layer pattern AL6 and a seventh active layer pattern AL7.

[0069] In some embodiments, in the display area, multiple sub-pixels are arranged in an array, multiple pixel driving circuits are also arranged in an array, and the active layer 61 includes active layer patterns of each transistor in the multiple pixel driving circuits. For example, the active layer includes Figure 4 The active layer pattern of the transistor of the pixel driving circuit shown is used as a unit, and the pattern is replicated in an array of rows and columns.

[0070] The first gate layer 62 and the second gate layer 63 include a plurality of signal lines, wherein Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first gate layer 62 includes a plurality of signal lines and a first electrode plate Cst1 of the capacitor. The plurality of signal lines may be, for example, a scan signal line GL, a reset signal line Rst, and an enable signal line EM. The plurality of signal lines located in the first gate layer 62 pass through the active layer pattern of each transistor, and the position where the plurality of signal lines located in the first gate layer 62 overlap with the active layer pattern of each transistor is the gate pattern Cp of each transistor.

[0071] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the first reset signal line Rst1 passes through the first active layer pattern AL1, and the overlapping portion of the first reset signal line Rst1 and the first active layer pattern AL1 is the first gate pattern Cp1.

[0072] The scan signal line GL passes through the second active layer pattern AL2 and the fourth active layer pattern AL4. The overlapped portion of the scan signal line GL and the second active layer pattern AL2 is the second gate pattern Cp2.

For example, each signal line of the first gate layer 62 passes through the active layer pattern of the corresponding transistor, which means that the orthographic projection of each signal line of the first gate layer 62, such as the scanning signal line GL, on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second active layer pattern AL2 on the substrate.

The light-emitting device 30 emits light under the control of the driving current. The size of the driving current affects the brightness of the light. That is to say, the voltage of the first node N1 can control the brightness of the light-emitting device 30, that is, it can control the grayscale of the sub-pixel, thereby affecting the quality of the entire display screen.

[0090] It should be noted that the first node N1, the second node N2 and the third node N3 in the embodiment of the present invention do not represent actual existing components, but represent the confluence points of related circuit connections in the layout of the pixel driving circuit 60, that is, the first node N1, the second node N2 and the third node N3 are nodes formed by the equivalent confluence points of related circuit electrical connections in the circuit diagram.

[0091] In some embodiments, some transistors in the pixel driving circuit are dual-gate thin film transistors, and the active layer pattern of the dual-gate thin film transistor is as follows: Figure 4 The second active layer pattern AL2 shown in FIG. 1 includes two channel regions: a first channel region Sg1 and a second channel region Sg2, and a conductive region Cr located between the two channel regions. Figure 8 As shown, the dual-gate thin film transistor has two second gate patterns Cp2: a first second gate pattern Cp2a and a second second gate pattern Cp2b. The orthographic projections of the two second gate patterns Cp2 on the substrate correspond to two channel regions respectively. The two second gate patterns Cp2 receive the same signal. For example, two positions in a first gate signal line pass through the active layer pattern of the dual-gate thin film transistor, wherein the first gate signal line is located in the first gate layer 62. The two positions on the first gate signal line are two gate patterns CP2 of the dual-gate thin film transistor. The first gate signal line passes through the dual At the active layer pattern of the double-gate thin film transistor, the position where the active layer pattern of the double-gate thin film transistor (the second active layer pattern AL2) overlaps with the first gate signal line once is the first channel region, the first gate signal line passes through the active layer pattern of the double-gate thin film transistor for the second time, the position where the active layer pattern of the double-gate thin film transistor (the second active layer pattern AL2) overlaps with the first gate signal line again is the second channel region, the active layer pattern of the double-gate thin film transistor between the first channel region and the second channel region is the conductive region Cr, and the projections of the conductive region Cr and the signal lines of the first gate layer 62 on the substrate do not overlap.

[0092] In some examples, the compensation transistor T2 is a dual-gate thin film transistor, and the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2 is the active layer pattern of the dual-gate thin film transistor, for example Figure 4 The active layer pattern AL2 of the second transistor shown is the active layer pattern of the dual-gate thin film transistor. Figure 8As shown, the active layer 61 includes an active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2, and the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2 includes two channel regions: a first channel region and a second channel region, and a conductive region Cr located between the two channel regions, and the conductive region Cr connects the two channel regions. The first gate layer 62 includes a first gate signal line XL, and the positive projection of the first gate signal line XL on the substrate overlaps with the positive projection of the two channel regions on the substrate. The overlapping position of the first gate signal line XL and the first channel region of the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2 is the first second gate pattern Cp2a, and the overlapping position of the first gate signal line XL and the second channel region of the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2 is the second second gate pattern Cp2b. Among them, the first gate signal line XL can be, for example, a scanning signal line GL.

[0093] The conductive area Cr of the compensation transistor T2 will produce voltage fluctuations when affected by an external electric field or signal. During the voltage fluctuation of the conductive area Cr, the channel area Sg position is affected by the voltage at both ends of the conductive area Cr to cause leakage, and then the compensation transistor T2 has leakage in the pixel driving circuit 60. The voltage at the first node N1 fluctuates due to the leakage of the compensation transistor T2, and the driving transistor T3 is affected by the voltage of the first node N1 to cause the driving current to fluctuate, resulting in unstable luminous brightness of the light-emitting device, and then the display picture quality of the display panel 100 is reduced.

[0094] Based on this, on one hand, some embodiments of the present invention provide an array substrate 10, such as Fig.10 As shown, the array substrate 10 includes a substrate 40, an active layer 61, a first gate layer 62 and a second gate layer 63. The positions of the film layers of the array substrate 10 are consistent with those in the above embodiment and are not described in detail herein.

[0095] like Fig.11 As shown, the array substrate 10 includes a plurality of pixel driving circuits arranged in an array, and the pixel driving circuit 60 includes at least a compensation transistor T2.

[0096] like Fig.12 As shown, taking the pixel driving circuit of "7T1C" as an example, the active layer includes: the active layer pattern of the first reset transistor is the first active layer pattern AL1, the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor is the second active layer pattern AL2, the active layer pattern of the driving transistor is the third active layer pattern AL3, the active layer pattern of the write transistor is the fourth active layer pattern AL4, the active layer pattern of the first enable transistor is the fifth active layer pattern AL5, the active layer pattern of the second enable transistor is the sixth active layer pattern AL6, and the active layer pattern of the second reset transistor is the seventh active layer pattern AL7.

[0097] The film structure of the compensation transistor T2 is introduced below.

[0098] In some embodiments, Fig.13 As shown, the active layer pattern (second active layer pattern AL2) of the compensation transistor includes two channel regions Sg, and the two channel regions Sg include a first channel region Sg1 and a second channel region Sg2. The active layer pattern of the compensation transistor includes a first pattern 61a and a second pattern 61b connected to each other, the first pattern 61a extends along a first direction X, and the second pattern 61b extends along a second direction Y, the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect, the first channel region Sg1 is located on the first pattern 61a, the second channel region Sg2 is located on the second pattern 61b, and the conductive region Cr is located at the connection position of the first pattern 61a and the second pattern 61b.

[0099] In some examples, the first pattern 61a and the second pattern 61b of the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor form a bent shape, for example, the pattern is "L" shaped, the overlapping position of the first pattern 61a and a first gate signal line XL is the first channel region Sg1, the first gate signal line XL that overlaps with the first pattern 61a also overlaps with the second pattern 61b, and the overlapping position of the second pattern 61b and the first gate signal line XL is the second channel region Sg2. The position where the first pattern 61a and the second pattern 61b are connected is the conductive region Cr, or in other words, the active layer 61 between the first channel region Sg1 and the second channel region Sg2 is the conductive region Cr, and the conductive region Cr does not overlap with the first gate signal line XL or the first electrode Cst1.

[0100] In some embodiments, Fig.14 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the first gate signal line XL includes a first gate signal main line 62a and at least one first extension portion 62b connected to the first gate signal main line 62a, the first gate signal main line 62a extends along a first direction X, and the first extension portion 62b extends along a second direction Y. The orthographic projection of the first gate signal main line 62a on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second pattern 61b on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the first extension portion 62b on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first pattern 61a on the substrate.

[0101] In some examples, such as Fig.16As shown, the first gate signal line XL may be, for example, a scanning signal line GL, which includes a first gate signal main line 62a extending along a first direction X and a first extension portion 62b extending along a second direction Y. The first gate signal main line 62a passes through the second pattern 61b, and the overlapping portion of the first gate signal main line 62a with the second pattern 61b is the first second gate pattern Cp2a of the dual-gate thin film transistor; the first extension portion 62b passes through the first pattern 61a, and the overlapping portion of the first extension portion 62b with the first pattern 61a is the second second gate pattern Cp2b of the dual-gate thin film transistor.

[0102] In some embodiments, Fig.16 As shown, the orthographic projection of the first gate signal main line 62a on the substrate 40 and the orthographic projection of the first extension portion 62b on the substrate 40 form at least one corner Ar, and the opening of the corner Ar is close to the first electrode plate.

[0103] like Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.16 As shown, the active layer includes an active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2, that is, the second active layer pattern AL2 in the figure. Figure 4 , Figure 6 ,exist Fig.11 , Fig.12 , the difference between the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2 is that the positive projection of the conductive region Cr on the substrate 40 is located on the positive projection side of the positive projection of the first gate signal line XL on the substrate close to the positive projection of the active layer of the driving transistor T3, and is located on the positive projection side of the active layer pattern (fourth active layer pattern AL4) close to the writing transistor T4. That is, the relative position of the conductive region Cr changes, so as to facilitate the setting of the voltage stabilization pattern mentioned below.

[0104] like Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, the second gate layer 63 includes a voltage stabilizing pattern 66, which is configured to receive a power supply voltage signal, and the orthographic projection of the voltage stabilizing pattern 66 on the substrate 40 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the conductive region of the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2 on the substrate 40. The orthographic projection of the voltage stabilizing pattern 66 on the substrate 40 is located inside the corner Ar.

[0105] In some examples, the voltage stabilizing pattern 66 is located in the second gate layer 63, and the voltage stabilizing pattern 66 overlaps with the conductive area in the active layer 61, which is equivalent to the voltage stabilizing pattern 66 and the conductive area of ​​the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2 forming a capacitor. The voltage stabilizing pattern 66 receives the power supply voltage signal, thereby maintaining a stable voltage. The conductive area of ​​the compensation transistor T2 overlapping with the voltage stabilizing pattern 66 is affected by the stable voltage. When affected by external factors, the voltage fluctuation of the conductive area is weakened, and the conductive area can maintain a constant voltage. Accordingly, the voltage change of the two ends of the first channel area and the second channel area connected to the conductive area is weakened. When the second transistor T2 is turned off, a large voltage difference will not be formed between the first electrode and the second electrode, which can reduce the leakage phenomenon of the dual-gate thin film transistor, improve the driving current control quality of the pixel driving circuit 60, and the quality of the display screen of the display panel is correspondingly improved.

[0106] The active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2 and the structural design of the first gate signal line XL make the compensation transistor T2 a dual-gate transistor, and the voltage stabilizing pattern 66 overlaps with the exposed conductive area and does not interfere with the first gate signal line XL.

[0107] The corner Ar opens toward the second electrode plate Cst2, that is, the first extension portion 62b extends along the second direction Y and is close to the second electrode plate Cst2, so as to expose the conductive area and place the voltage stabilizing pattern 66 electrically connected to the second electrode plate Cst2. By placing the voltage stabilizing pattern 66 in the corner Ar, the overall size of the pixel driving circuit 60 layout can be kept constant, the pixel size of the display panel is not affected, and the picture clarity of the display panel 100 remains unchanged.

[0108] See also Fig.25 A first gate signal line XL includes a first gate signal main line 62a and a plurality of first extensions 62b, and one first extension 62b corresponds to a first pattern 61a of a compensation transistor in a pixel driving circuit.

[0109] It should be noted that Figures 4 to 8 , Figure 12 to Figure 24 The pattern of each film layer is introduced by taking the area where a pixel driving circuit is located (called a pixel unit) as an example. In the display area, multiple sub-pixels are arranged in an array, and multiple pixel driving circuits are also arranged in an array. In each pixel unit, the pattern of each film layer is as follows. Fig. 20 As shown, Fig.11 FIG25 shows a structural diagram of the active layer and the first gate layer of two pixel units, and FIG26 shows a schematic diagram of the film layer structure of two pixel units. It can be seen that the patterns of each film layer are arranged in a periodic regular pattern.

[0110] In some examples, such as Figure 3 or Fig.10As shown, the driving circuit layer 50 further includes a first source-drain metal layer 64 , and the first source-drain metal layer 64 includes a plurality of connection terminals 66 and a plurality of connection patterns 67 .

[0111] In some examples, the array substrate 10 further includes: a first insulating layer 51 disposed between the active layer 61 and the first gate layer 62, a second insulating layer 52 disposed between the first gate layer 62 and the second gate layer 63, a third insulating layer 53 disposed on the side of the second gate layer 63 away from the substrate 40, a first source-drain metal layer 64 disposed on the side of the third insulating layer 53 away from the substrate 40, and a fourth insulating layer 54 disposed on the side of the first source-drain metal layer 64 away from the substrate 40.

[0112] In some examples, the array substrate 10 further includes a second source-drain metal layer 65 disposed on a side of the fourth insulating layer 54 away from the substrate 40 , and the second source-drain metal layer 65 includes a data line and a power supply voltage signal line.

[0113] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 and Fig.19 As shown, the active layer patterns of some transistors of the pixel driving circuit 60 are electrically connected to the signal lines of the first gate layer 62 and / or the second gate layer 63, the first electrode plate Cst1, and the second electrode plate Cst2 through the connection pattern 67. The active layer patterns of some transistors of the pixel driving circuit 60 are electrically connected to the data line or the power supply voltage signal line through the connection terminal 68.

[0114] In some embodiments, the pixel driving circuit 60 further includes a write transistor T4, a first electrode of the write transistor T4 is electrically connected to a data signal terminal (data line), and a first electrode plate Cst1 is electrically connected to a second electrode of the compensation transistor T2; wherein the first electrode of the write transistor T4 is connected to the data line via a connection terminal 68, and the first electrode plate Cst1 is connected to the second electrode of the compensation transistor T2 via a connection pattern 67. The connection pattern 67 includes a first connection pattern 67a, and the first connection pattern 67a is used to connect the first electrode plate Cst1 and the second electrode of the compensation transistor T2; the connection terminal 68 includes a first connection terminal 68a, and the first connection terminal 68a is used to connect the first electrode of the write transistor T4 to the data line. wherein the first source-drain metal layer 64 includes a first connection terminal 68a and a first connection pattern 67a.

[0115] Among them, Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown, Fig. 20 yes Fig.19In the cross-sectional view of the pixel driving circuit 60 shown in the AA direction, the first connection terminal 68a is connected to the active layer 61 through a via hole penetrating the first insulating layer 51, the second insulating layer 52 and the third insulating layer 53. For example, the active layer 61 includes an active layer pattern of the write transistor T4, and the first connection terminal 68a is connected to the active layer pattern of the write transistor T4. Specifically, the first connection terminal 68a is connected to the active layer pattern of the write transistor T4 through a via hole penetrating the first insulating layer 51, the second insulating layer 52 and the third insulating layer 53.

[0116] The first connection pattern 67a includes a first end O1, a first connection line L1, and a second end O2 connected in sequence. The first end O1 of the first connection pattern 67a is connected to the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2, and the second end O2 of the first connection pattern 67a is connected to the first electrode plate Cst1 of the capacitor. Specifically, the first end O1 is connected to the active layer 61 through a via hole penetrating the first insulating layer 51, the second insulating layer 52, and the third insulating layer 53. For example, the first end O1 is connected to the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2 through a via hole penetrating the first insulating layer 51, the second insulating layer 52, and the third insulating layer 53, and the second end O2 is connected to the first electrode plate Cst1 through a via hole penetrating the second insulating layer 52 and the third insulating layer 53. The first end O1 and the second end O2 are electrically connected through the first connection line L1 located at the first source-drain metal layer.

[0117] In some embodiments, Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown, in the layout of the pixel driving circuit 60, the first connection terminal 68a is located at one side of the first terminal O1. In the array-arranged pixel driving circuit 60, the first connection terminal 68a and the first terminal O1 are arranged at intervals in a certain direction.

[0118] The first connection terminal 68a is configured to receive a signal from the data line. The voltage of the first connection terminal 68a varies with the signal waveform transmitted by the data line. An electric field is formed at the first connection terminal 68a to affect the first terminal O1. Specifically, the first terminal O1 is electrically connected to the first electrode plate Cst1 of the capacitor. The first terminal O1 is affected by the electric field and generates voltage fluctuations. Accordingly, the voltage of the first electrode plate Cst1 changes accordingly, and then the potential storage function of the capacitor is affected, and the capacitor exhibits leakage.

[0119] The first connection pattern 67a is a junction of the active layer pattern of the compensation transistor T2, the active layer pattern of the driving transistor T3 and the first electrode plate Cst1. Fig. 9In other words, the voltage of the first terminal O1 is the voltage of the first node N1. If the voltage of the first node N1 fluctuates, the driving current of the driving transistor T3 fluctuates, and the light emitting brightness of the light emitting device EL connected to the pixel driving circuit 60 is unstable, resulting in color distortion of the display screen of the display panel 100 and degradation of the quality of the display screen.

[0120] Based on this, the second gate layer 63 of the array substrate 100 proposed in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Fig.21 and Fig. 22 As shown, in addition to the voltage stabilizing pattern 66, at least one shielding pattern 69 is included. The orthographic projection of the shielding pattern 69 on the substrate is located between the adjacent first connecting end 68a and the first end O1 of the first connecting pattern 67a. The shielding pattern 69 is configured to receive a constant voltage signal.

[0121] In some examples, the shielding pattern 69 isolates the electric field generated by the first connection terminal 68a from the first terminal O1. In the array-arranged pixel driving circuit 60, a shielding pattern 69 is provided between each first connection terminal 68a and the first terminal O1, so that the orthographic projection of the first terminal O1 on the substrate is located between the orthographic projections of the two shielding patterns 69 on the substrate.

[0122] The shielding pattern 69 isolates the influence of the external electric field on the first end O1, thereby improving the voltage stability of the first end O1. That is, the voltage of the first node N1 is stable, the light emitting device corresponding to the first node N1 has stable light brightness, the display panel has high color fidelity, and the display image quality is high.

[0123] In some embodiments, Fig.21 and Fig. 22 As shown, the second gate layer 63 further includes an initialization signal line, and the shielding pattern 69 is connected to the initialization signal line.

[0124] Exemplarily, the initialization signal line transmits an initialization signal, and the initialization signal is a constant voltage signal. The shielding pattern 69 is connected to the initialization signal line to provide a stable voltage. At the same time, the initialization signal line and the shielding pattern 69 are both in the second gate layer 63, that is, the shielding pattern 69 is between the first end O1 of the via that passes through the first insulating layer, the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer, which is beneficial for the shielding pattern 69 to produce a better electric field shielding effect on the first end O1.

[0125] In some embodiments, Fig.21 and Fig. 22 As shown, the initialization signal line includes a first initialization signal line Vinit1 , and the first initialization signal line Vinit1 is connected to the shielding pattern 69 .

[0126] Exemplarily, in the layout of the pixel driving circuit 60 , the initialization signal line includes a first initialization signal line Vinit1 , and the first end O1 is close to the first initialization signal line Vinit1 , so the shielding pattern 69 is connected to the first initialization signal line Vinit1 .

[0137] In some embodiments, Fig. 22 As shown, the first gate layer 62 further includes a first reset signal line Rst1 and a second reset signal line Rst2. The orthographic projection of the first reset signal line Rst1 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the active layer pattern of the first reset transistor T1 on the substrate. The orthographic projection of the second reset signal line Rst2 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the active layer pattern of the second reset transistor T2 on the substrate.

[0138] In some examples, the first reset signal line Rst1 passes through the first reset transistor T1, and the overlap position of the first reset signal line Rst1 and the active layer pattern of the first reset transistor T1 is the gate pattern of the first reset transistor T1. The second reset signal line Rst2 passes through the second reset transistor T2, and the overlap position of the second reset signal line Rst2 and the active layer pattern of the second reset transistor T2 is the gate pattern of the second reset transistor T2.

[0139] It should be noted that the first reset signal line Rst1 and the second reset signal line Rst2 are relative to the layout of a pixel driving circuit 60. Specifically, in two adjacent pixel driving circuits 60 in the column direction, the second reset signal line Rst2 of one pixel driving circuit 60 is the first reset signal line Rst1 of the other adjacent pixel driving circuit 60.
