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.

[0052] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the case where components are connected together through an element having some electrical function.

[0053] 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°.
[0054] 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".

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 Taking the example that all the seven transistors in the pixel driving circuit are P-type transistors, the working process of the pixel driving circuit may include:

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 signal line D outputs a 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 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.
[0076] 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:
[0077] I=K*(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd] 2
[0078] Among them, I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, that is, the driving current driving the OLED, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vd is the data voltage output by the data signal line D, and Vdd is the power supply voltage output by the first power supply line VDD.
[0079] The line width of the luminescence spectrum of quantum dot materials is usually less than 20nm, which can ensure a wider display color gamut range and present a more layered and delicate picture quality effect. As an inorganic material, it has a longer service life and can be prepared based on processes such as inkjet printing and spin coating, which can further reduce the high cost caused by evaporation. In some technologies, the OLED+QD luminescence form is used in the display device, and the red quantum dot (RQD) material and the green quantum dot (GQD) material are excited by a blue monochrome backlight to achieve the emission of white light.
[0080] The inventors of this application have found that in existing display devices using OLED+QD, as the viewing angle changes, there is a difference in the brightness attenuation of red and green light and the brightness attenuation of blue light. This brightness difference causes the display device to have a white light color deviation. Due to the Lambertian emission characteristics of the quantum dot material itself, the light will be emitted in all directions when emitting light. The brightness attenuation of GQD and RQD varies little with the viewing angle, while the brightness attenuation of the light emitted by the blue light backlight source varies greatly with the viewing angle. This uneven brightness attenuation causes the display device to have a white light color deviation. In addition, the overall light output efficiency of the display device is not high, which affects the user experience.

[0109] In an exemplary embodiment, the first refractive index n51 of the first light processing structure 51 may be greater than the second refractive index n52 of the cover layer 52. According to the law of refraction n51*Sinθi1=n52*Sinθo1, it can be seen that the first incident angle θi1 of the light incident on the cover layer 52 is less than the first refractive angle θo1 of the light entering the cover layer 52, that is, relative to the incident light, the light from the red quantum dot layer may be deflected toward the center of the red quantum dot layer after entering the cover layer 52, and the light from the green quantum dot layer may be deflected toward the center of the green quantum dot layer after entering the cover layer 52.

In an exemplary embodiment, in a plane perpendicular to the substrate, the cross-sectional length of the quantum dot layer 32 can be expressed as D, the cross-sectional length of the red quantum dot layer is Dr, and the cross-sectional length of the green quantum dot layer is Dg. Figure 4a As shown, the upper base length G1 of the first light processing structure 51 can be set to be greater than or equal to the cross-sectional length D of the corresponding quantum dot layer 32, which can ensure that the light of the red quantum dot layer or the green quantum dot layer is more incident on the first light processing structure 51, so that the light emitted by the light conversion layer is more concentrated, and the attenuation degree of the brightness of the red light and the green light with the change of angle is increased, and it helps to improve the overall light output efficiency. In other embodiments, the upper base length G1 of the first light processing structure 51 can be set to be less than the cross-sectional length D of the corresponding quantum dot layer 32, which helps to better regulate the relationship between brightness attenuation and angle to reduce the color deviation of white light. In practical applications, the relationship between the upper base length of the first light processing structure 51 and the corresponding cross-sectional length Dr of the red quantum dot layer, and the relationship between the upper base length of the first light processing structure 51 and the corresponding cross-sectional length Dg of the green quantum dot layer can be set as needed, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

The relationship between the green quantum dot layer and the light-transmitting layer and the pixel opening length can be the same as that of the red quantum dot layer.
[0176] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 9a The display substrate of the structure shown in the figure may also be provided with a flat layer 40, a color filter layer 60 and a module layer 70, which can be seen in FIG. Figure 5 The relevant description will not be repeated here.
[0177] The display substrate provided by the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can effectively improve the light extraction efficiency of the sub-pixel by setting a third light processing structure corresponding to the pixel opening on the display structure layer 20, and using refraction to deflect the outgoing light toward the center of the pixel opening. A light processing layer 50 including a second light processing structure 53, a first light processing structure 51 and a cover layer 52 is set on the side of the light conversion layer 30 away from the substrate 10, the second light processing structure 53 is set corresponding to the first black matrix 31, the first light processing structure 51 is set corresponding to the red quantum dot layer and the green quantum dot layer, the first refractive index n51 of the first light processing structure 51 is greater than the second refractive index n52 of the cover layer 52, and the first refractive index n51 of the first light processing structure 51 is greater than the third refractive index n53 of the second light processing structure 53. Refraction and total reflection are used to deflect the outgoing light toward the center of the red quantum dot layer or the center of the green quantum dot layer, which can effectively improve the light extraction efficiency of the sub-pixel, improve the light extraction color range, reduce the color deviation of white light, and improve the display quality. The third light processing structure, the second light processing structure 53, the first light processing structure 51, the light emitting device and the light conversion layer are arranged in coordination with each other in terms of position and size, which further improves the display quality.
[0178] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 9a The display structure layer 20 of the structure shown can also be applied to the structures shown in other embodiments.
[0179] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4a The display substrate shown can be used Figure 9a The structure shown in the figure shows a structure layer 20, Figure 4a The display structure layer 20 may be provided with a third light processing structure. In this case, the size of the first light processing structure 51 may satisfy: G1<E1<A+C. The size relationship between G1 and D may be set as required.
[0180] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 8 The display substrate shown can be used Figure 9a The structure shown in the figure shows a structure layer 20, Figure 8The display structure layer 20 may be provided with a third light processing structure. In this case, the size of the first light processing structure 51 may satisfy: 2C+A<G1<E1<2A+2C. The size relationship between G1 and D may be set as required.
[0181] The effect of adjusting the relationship between brightness attenuation and angle in the embodiment of the present disclosure is described below through a brightness and angle relationship curve.
[0182] Fig.12 The curves showing the relationship between brightness and angle of OLED devices and quantum dot materials of different colors. Fig.13 This is a curve showing the relationship between the brightness and angle of a blue light-emitting device, a light conversion layer, and an ideal state. Fig.12 In the figure, the horizontal axis represents angle, the vertical axis represents intensity, and the three solid lines represent the brightness and angle relationship curves of the green light-emitting device, the red light-emitting device, and the blue light-emitting device from top to bottom, respectively. The two nearly overlapping dotted lines represent the brightness and angle relationship curves of the red quantum dot material and the green quantum dot material, respectively. Fig.12 It can be seen that the curve of quantum dot material is higher than that of light emitting device as a whole, that is, as the angle increases, the brightness attenuation of quantum dot material is smaller than that of light emitting device, and the intensity of the lowest point of the brightness of quantum dot material is still above 0.7, while the intensity of the lowest point of the brightness of light emitting device is below 0.3, and there is a big difference between the two. Therefore, the method of directly using the combination of light emitting device + quantum dot material in the display substrate to produce red, green and blue light will cause the white light to have a larger color deviation and poor display effect. Fig.13 In the figure, two nearly overlapping dotted lines represent the brightness and angle relationship curves of the red quantum dot material and the green quantum dot material, respectively. The solid line in the middle represents the ideal brightness and angle relationship curve. The solid line at the bottom represents the brightness and angle relationship curve of the blue light-emitting device. Fig.13 In the figure, the intensity of the lowest brightness point of the ideal curve is about 0.6, and the direction of the arrows indicates that in order to reach the ideal curve, the brightness and angle relationship curve of the quantum dot material and the brightness and angle relationship curve of the blue light-emitting device need to move closer to the middle, respectively. That is, it is necessary to increase the brightness attenuation of the quantum dot material with angle changes, and reduce the brightness attenuation of the blue light-emitting device with angle changes.
[0183] Fig.14 for Figure 8 (with a third light processing structure) and Figure 9a The embodiment shown shows a curve of the relationship between the brightness and angle of the substrate. Fig.14 The upper curve in the figure represents the curve with the third light processing structure. Figure 8 The brightness and angle relationship curve of the display substrate, Fig.14 The lower curve in the figure represents Figure 9a The brightness and angle relationship curve of the display substrate in the embodiment shown. The intensity of the lowest brightness point of the two curves is about 0.6. It can be seen that the brightness and angle relationship curve of the display substrate in the above embodiment is basically consistent with the ideal brightness and angle relationship curve, which greatly improves the display effect of the display substrate. The display substrates provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the effect of the ideal brightness and angle relationship curve. In the case of differences in specific structural settings, the smoothness of the brightness and angle relationship curves of different display substrates is different. Fig.14 As an example, compared with the curve in Figure 9a , Figure 8 The first light processing structure in the embodiment reduces the slope that can change the light path, so it changes with the angle. Figure 8 The brightness of the display substrate decays more slowly.
[0184] Fig.15 This is the white light color deviation curve before and after structural adjustment. Fig.15 As shown, under the chromaticity coordinates of 1931, the white light color deviation curve of the display substrate that directly uses the combination of light-emitting devices + quantum dot materials to generate red, green and blue light is curve 1, while the white light color deviation curve of the display substrate obtained after the structural adjustment of the embodiment of the present disclosure is curve 2. Fig.15 It can be clearly seen that after the structural adjustment of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the white light color deviation problem of the display substrate is greatly improved.
[0185] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a display device, including the display substrate described in any of the above embodiments. The display device can be: an OLED display, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a monitor, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, a navigator, or any other product or component with a display function, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0187] The structure of the display substrate of the present disclosure is explained below by an example of the display substrate preparation process. The "patterning process" mentioned in the present disclosure includes processes such as depositing a film layer, coating a photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching and stripping the photoresist. Deposition can be performed by any one or more selected from sputtering, evaporation and chemical vapor deposition, coating can be performed by any one or more selected from spraying and spin coating, and etching can be performed by any one or more selected from dry etching and wet etching. "Thin film" refers to a thin film made by depositing or coating a certain material on a substrate. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire production process, the "thin film" can also be called a "layer". When the "thin film" still requires a patterning process during the entire production process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern". "A and B are arranged in the same layer" mentioned in the present disclosure means that A and B are formed simultaneously by the same patterning process. “The orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B” means that the orthographic projection of B falls within the range of the orthographic projection of A, or the orthographic projection of A covers the orthographic projection of B.

[0217] In some possible exemplary embodiments, an optical coupling layer pattern can be formed after forming a cathode pattern. The optical coupling layer is disposed on the cathode.

[0244] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first light processing structure 51 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the corresponding red quantum dot layer on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the first light processing structure 51 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the corresponding green quantum dot layer on the substrate 10.

[0247] In an exemplary embodiment, an orthographic projection of the first light management structure 51 on the substrate 10 may overlap with an orthographic projection of the first black matrix 31 on the substrate 10 .
[0248] In an exemplary embodiment, the light emitted by the red quantum dot layer and the green quantum dot layer are deflected toward the center of the red quantum dot layer and the center of the green quantum dot layer respectively after passing through the first light processing structure 51, which can improve the light extraction efficiency of the sub-pixel. In an exemplary embodiment, the center of the red quantum dot layer may be the geometric center of the red quantum dot layer, and the center of the green quantum dot layer may be the geometric center of the green quantum dot layer. In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first light processing structure 51 may be set according to the actual pixel morphology or process requirements. On a plane parallel to the display substrate, the shape of the first light processing structure 51 may be any one or more of the following: triangle, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon, circle and ellipse. In a plane perpendicular to the substrate, the cross-sectional shape of the first light processing structure 51 may include a trapezoid, an inverted trapezoid or a mushroom (T-shaped), etc., and the present disclosure is not limited to this. Figure 7a FIG. 5 shows a case where light is emitted directly from the first light processing structure 51. Figure 4a The description in will not be repeated here.
[0249] In an exemplary embodiment, the first refractive index n51 of the first light processing structure 51 can be set to be greater than or equal to 1.75 and less than or equal to 1.85. In a plane perpendicular to the substrate, the cross-sectional shape of the first light processing structure 51 can be a trapezoid, the length of the upper base of the trapezoid is G1, the length of the lower base is E1, and the height is F1. The geometric dimension relationship of the trapezoid can be 0.76<(F1 / ((E1-G1) / 2))<0.984, where the unit of the number is micrometer. In an exemplary embodiment, in a plane perpendicular to the substrate, the cross-sectional length of the quantum dot layer 32 can be expressed as D, the cross-sectional length of the red quantum dot layer is Dr, and the cross-sectional length of the green quantum dot layer is Dg. The upper base length G1 of the first light processing structure 51 can be set to be greater than or equal to the cross-sectional length D of the corresponding quantum dot layer 32, which can ensure that the light of the red quantum dot layer or the green quantum dot layer is more incident on the first light processing structure 51, so that the light emitted by the light conversion layer is more concentrated, and the attenuation degree of the brightness of the red light and the green light with the angle is increased, and it helps to improve the overall light output efficiency; in other embodiments, the upper base length G1 of the first light processing structure 51 can be set to be less than the cross-sectional length D of the corresponding quantum dot layer 32, which helps to better regulate the relationship between brightness attenuation and angle, so as to reduce the color deviation of white light.

[0251] In an exemplary embodiment, the light is incident on the interface between the first light processing structure 51 and the second light processing structure 53 at the second incident angle θi2. Since the second incident angle θi2 is greater than the critical angle β of total reflection, the incident light is totally reflected and re-enters the first light processing structure 51 at the second reflection angle θo2.

In an exemplary embodiment, when the orthographic projection of the second light processing structure 53 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the red quantum dot layer on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the second light processing structure 53 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the green quantum dot layer on the substrate 10, the farther the distance between adjacent boundaries between the projections, the slower the brightness decay rate with angle change. In practical applications, the positional relationship between the orthographic projection of the second light processing structure 53 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the red quantum dot layer or the green quantum dot layer on the substrate 10 can be set as needed, and the present disclosure is not limited to this.

In an exemplary embodiment, the positive projection of the third light processing structure on the substrate may include the positive projection of the pixel opening on the substrate, and the size relationship between the third light processing structure and the pixel opening satisfies: C≤G3<E3<C+8, where the unit of the number is microns, which can enable more light to enter the corresponding quantum dot layer.
