[0069] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings hereinafter. Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a number of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the relevant technical field 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. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits the detailed description of some known functions and known components. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only involve the structures involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures can refer to the general design.
[0070] In the drawings, the size of each component, the thickness of a layer, or the area is sometimes exaggerated for the sake of clarity. Therefore, one embodiment of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to this size, and the shape and size of each component in the drawings do not reflect the true proportion. In addition, the drawings schematically show ideal examples, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0071] In the present specification, ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number.
[0072] 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.
[0073] 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 specific meanings of the above terms in this disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0074] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element including at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to a region where current mainly flows.
[0075] In this specification, the first electrode may be a drain electrode and the second electrode may be a source electrode, or the first electrode may be a source electrode and the second electrode may be a drain electrode. In the case of using transistors with opposite polarities or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" may be interchanged.
[0076] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the case where components are connected together through an element having some electrical function. There is no particular limitation on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it can transmit and receive electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having various functions.
[0077] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and therefore, also includes a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and therefore, also includes a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.
[0078] In this specification, "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced by "conductive film". Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced by "insulating layer".
[0079] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly limited to allow for process and measurement errors.
[0080] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device.

The data signal driver may generate a data voltage to be provided to the data lines D1, D2, D3, ... and Dn using the grayscale value and the control signal received from the timing controller. For example, the data signal driver may sample the grayscale value using the clock signal, and apply the data voltage corresponding to the grayscale value to the data lines D1 to Dn in units of pixel rows, where n may be a natural number. The scan signal driver may generate a scan signal to be provided to the scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ... and Sm by receiving a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. from a timing controller. For example, the scan signal driver may sequentially provide a scan signal having an on-level pulse to the scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan signal driver may be constructed in the form of a shift register, and may generate a scan signal in a manner that sequentially transmits a scan start signal provided in the form of an on-level pulse to a next-level circuit under the control of a clock signal, and m may be a natural number. The luminous signal driver may generate an emission signal to be provided to the luminous signal lines E1, E2, E3, ... and Eo by receiving a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. from a timing controller. For example, the luminous signal driver may sequentially provide an emission signal having an off-level pulse to the luminous signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the luminous signal driver may be constructed in the form of a shift register, and may sequentially transmit a luminous stop signal provided in the form of an off-level pulse to a next-level circuit under the control of a clock signal, and o may be a natural number. The pixel array may include a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij, each of which may be connected to a corresponding data line, a corresponding scan signal line, and a corresponding light emitting signal line, and i and j may be natural numbers.

The signal of the second scanning signal line S2 is a low-level signal, and the signals of the first scanning signal line S1 and the light-emitting signal line E are high-level signals. The signal of the second scanning signal line S2 is a low-level signal, which turns on the first transistor T1. The signal of the initial signal line INIT is provided to the second node N2 to initialize the storage capacitor C and clear the original data voltage in the storage capacitor. The signals of the first scanning signal line S1 and the light-emitting signal line E are high-level signals, which turns off the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7. In this stage, the OLED does not emit light.
[0102] The second stage A2 is called the data writing stage or the threshold compensation stage. The signal of the first scanning signal line S1 is a low level signal, the signals of the second scanning signal line S2 and the light emitting signal line E are high level signals, and the data line D outputs the data voltage. In this stage, since the second end of the storage capacitor C is at a low level, the third transistor T3 is turned on. The signal of the first scanning signal line S1 is a low level signal, which turns on the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4 and the seventh transistor T7. The second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on so that the data voltage output by the data line D is provided to the second node N2 through the first node N1, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor T2, and the difference between the data voltage output by the data line D and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the storage capacitor C. The voltage of the second end (the second node N2) of the storage capacitor C is Vd-|Vth|, Vd is the data voltage output by the data line D, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on so that the initial voltage of the initial signal line INIT is provided to the first electrode of the OLED, the first electrode of the OLED is initialized (reset), the pre-stored voltage inside it is cleared, the initialization is completed, and the OLED is ensured not to emit light. The signal of the second scanning signal line S2 is a high-level signal, which turns off the first transistor T1. The signal of the light-emitting signal line E is a high-level signal, which turns off the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6.
[0103] The third stage A3 is called the light-emitting stage, the signal of the light-emitting signal line E is a low-level signal, and the signals of the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2 are high-level signals. The signal of the light-emitting signal line E is a low-level signal, which turns on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6, and the power supply voltage output by the first power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the OLED through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the third transistor T3 and the sixth transistor T6, driving the OLED to emit light.
[0104] During the driving process of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its gate electrode and the first electrode. Since the voltage of the second node N2 is Vdata-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:
[0105] I=K*(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd] 2

Figure 7 As shown, in a plane parallel to the display substrate, the binding area 200 is located on one side of the display area 100, and the binding area 200 may include a first fan-out area 201, a bending area 202, a second fan-out area 203, an anti-static area 204, a driver chip area 205 and a binding pin area 206 which are sequentially arranged in a direction away from the display area 100. The first fan-out area 201 includes at least a data fan-out line, and a plurality of data fan-out lines are configured to connect the data lines (Data Line) of the display area in a fan-out routing manner, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown. The bending area 202 includes a composite insulating layer provided with grooves, which is configured to bend the binding area 200 to the back of the display area 100.

[0108] With the development of OLED display technology, consumers have higher and higher requirements for the display effect of display products, and extremely narrow borders have become a new trend in the development of display products. Therefore, the narrowing of the border or even the borderless design has received more and more attention in the design of OLED display products. At present, the left border, right border and upper border of the display device can be controlled within 1.0mm, but the narrowing design of the lower border (the border on the side of the binding area) is more difficult and has been maintained at about 2.0mm. This is because the data fan-out line is usually set in the fan-out area of the binding area, and the fan-shaped area occupies a large space. Usually, the width of the binding area is smaller than the width of the display area. The signal lines of the integrated circuit and the binding pad in the binding area need to be introduced into the wider display area in a fan-out manner through the fan-out area. The greater the width difference between the display area and the binding area, the more oblique fan-out lines in the fan-shaped area, and the greater the distance between the driver chip area and the display area, the wider the lower border, resulting in the lower border being much larger than the left and right borders.

[0183] Although Fig.14 The exemplary embodiment shown is described by taking the example that the odd data fan-out lines are set in the first conductive layer, the even data fan-out lines are set in the second conductive layer, and the data lines are set in the third conductive layer. However, in the present disclosure, the odd data fan-out lines, the even data fan-out lines and the data lines can be set in any layer, as long as the data signal lines and the data fan-out lines are located in different conductive layers. The present disclosure does not make any limitation here.
[0184] The structure of the display substrate and its preparation process shown in the present disclosure are merely exemplary. In an exemplary embodiment, the corresponding structure can be changed and the composition process can be increased or decreased according to actual needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0185] In a display substrate, a fan-out area is provided in a binding area, and data lines in a display area are led out through data fan-out lines in the fan-out area. Since there are many oblique lines in the fan-shaped area, the lower frame is wide, which is not conducive to realizing a narrow frame. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a lead-out line is provided in the lead area of the binding area, and a data fan-out line is provided in the display area. The lead-out line is connected to the corresponding data signal line through the data fan-out line, which not only realizes the corresponding connection between multiple lead-out lines and multiple data signal lines, but also makes it unnecessary to provide fan-shaped oblique lines in the lead area. Multiple lead-out lines are mutually parallel vertical lines, which can be directly introduced into the composite circuit area of the binding area, effectively reducing the length of the lead area in the vertical direction, greatly reducing the width of the lower frame, so that the widths of the upper frame, lower frame, left frame and right frame of the display device are similar, all less than 1.0 mm, thereby improving the screen-to-body ratio and facilitating the realization of full-screen display.
[0186] In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, by respectively setting the adjacent data fan-out lines and lead-out lines in two film layers, and the data fan-out lines and lead-out lines are alternately set in the two film layers, the spacing between the adjacent data fan-out lines and lead-out lines is effectively reduced, the connection reliability is effectively improved, and the width of the lower frame can be further reduced. The present disclosure sets the data fan-out lines and lead-out lines in the two film layers to use the same material, the width of each data fan-out line and lead-out line is the same, and the spacing between adjacent lead-out lines is the same, which effectively avoids the size deviation of the two film layers. The data line can connect the data fan-out lines and lead-out lines in any film layer, so that the lead-out lines in the lead area do not need to be bent or crossed, and the data fan-out lines and lead-out lines alternately set in the two film layers have substantially the same electrical characteristics, which effectively improves the display uniformity and display quality.

[0219] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the technical effects of the aforementioned embodiments, including effectively reducing the width of the lower frame, effectively avoiding the size deviation of the two film layers, and effectively improving the display uniformity and display quality. In addition, the present disclosure can not only reduce the resistance difference of the data fan-out line, but also reduce the reflective optical difference of the data fan-out line by setting a data fan-out line with a grid pattern. Since the lead-out line in the first lead group is connected to the data line through the data fan-out line, and the lead-out line in the second lead group is directly connected to the data line, the resistance of the lead-out line in the first lead group is much greater than the resistance of the lead-out line in the second lead group.

However, when the data fan-out line is set in a part of the display area, when viewed in sunlight or strong light, there will be a reflective display difference with or without the data fan-out line, which will cause display problems. The present disclosure provides data fan-out lines with a grid pattern, and the grid pattern substantially covers the entire display area, thereby effectively avoiding the reflective optical difference caused by the presence or absence of the data fan-out lines, and improving the display quality.
