[0107] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete and will fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.
[0108] The terms "a", "an", and "said" are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms "comprising" and "having" are used to indicate an open-ended inclusive meaning and mean that additional elements / components / etc. may be present in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.
[0109] like Figure 1As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of an exemplary embodiment of the display panel of the present disclosure. The display panel may include a display area AA, and a fan-out area FT located in the display area AA. The display panel also includes a substrate, a plurality of data lines Da, a first data fan-out line Fa1, and a second data fan-out line Fa2. Among them, the data line Da is located in the display area AA, and the orthographic projection of the data line Da on the substrate is distributed along the first direction X at intervals and extends along the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y may intersect, for example, the first direction X may be a row direction, and the second direction Y may be a column direction. The first data fan-out line Fa1 is located in the fan-out area FT, and the orthographic projection of the first data fan-out line Fa1 on the substrate may be distributed along the second direction Y at intervals and extend along the first direction X. The first data fan-out line Fa1 is arranged corresponding to the data line Da, and the first data fan-out line Fa1 is connected to the corresponding data line Da. The second data fan-out line Fa2 is located in the fan-out area FT, and the orthographic projection of the second data fan-out line Fa2 on the substrate is spaced along the first direction X and extends along the second direction Y. The second data fan-out line Fa2 is arranged corresponding to the first data fan-out line Fa1, and the second data fan-out line Fa2 is connected to the first data fan-out line Fa1 corresponding thereto. The display panel provided by this exemplary embodiment arranges the fan-out area in the display area, avoiding the arrangement of the fan-out area in the frame area, thereby reducing the area of the lower frame and the lower corner area of the display panel, that is, a narrow frame arrangement can be achieved.
[0110] like Figure 1 As shown, the separation line XX separates the display area AA into two display areas distributed in the first direction X. The data line Da on the side away from the separation line XX is connected to the second data fan-out line Fa2 on the side close to the separation line XX through the first data fan-out line Fa1. The fan-out area FT may include a first fan-out area FT1 and a second fan-out area FT2, the first data fan-out line Fa1 is located in the first fan-out area FT1, and the second data fan-out line Fa2 is located in the second fan-out area FT2. The first fan-out area FT1 may include a first sub-fan-out area FT11 and a second sub-fan-out area FT12, and the first sub-fan-out area FT11 and the second sub-fan-out area FT12 are located on both sides of the second fan-out area FT2 in the first direction X.
[0111] It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the first data fan-out line Fa1 and the second data fan-out line Fa2 may also be arranged in other ways. For example, the data line Da on the side close to the dividing line XX is connected to the second data fan-out line Fa2 on the side close to the dividing line XX through the first data fan-out line Fa1; or, the data line Da on the side away from the dividing line XX is connected to the second data fan-out line Fa2 on the side away from the dividing line XX through the first data fan-out line Fa1. For another example, the length of the first data fan-out line Fa1 may also be gradually increased from the upper frame to the lower frame.
[0112] In this exemplary embodiment, the display panel is additionally provided with the first data fan-out line Fa1 and the second data fan-out line Fa2 in the fan-out area FT, and the display area outside the fan-out area FT is not provided with the first data fan-out line Fa1 and the second data fan-out line Fa2. Since the first data fan-out line Fa1 and the second data fan-out line Fa2 have the functions of reflecting and shielding light, when the display panel is in the screen-off state, the fan-out area and other display areas of the display panel have different reflecting and light-transmitting effects, thereby causing a dark shadow to appear on the display panel.
[0113] Based on this, the present exemplary embodiment also provides another display panel, such as Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of the present disclosure. The display panel may include a plurality of first signal lines H1 and a plurality of second signal lines V2. The first signal line H1 is located in the display area AA, and the orthographic projection of the first signal line H1 on the substrate extends along the first direction X and is spaced along the second direction Y. The plurality of first signal lines H1 include a first sub-signal line H11 and a third analog line Dm3. The first sub-signal line H11 includes a first data fan-out line Fa1 and a first analog line Dm1 that are spaced apart; the third analog line Dm3 is located in the display area AA outside the first fan-out area FT1. The second signal line V2 is located in the display area AA, and the second signal line V2 and the first signal line H1 are located in different conductive layers, and the orthographic projection of the second signal line V2 on the substrate extends along the second direction Y and is spaced along the first direction X. The plurality of second signal lines V2 include a second sub-signal line V22 and a fourth analog line Dm4. The second sub-signal line V22 includes a second data fan-out line Fa2 and a second analog line Dm2 which are arranged at intervals; and a fourth analog line Dm4 is located in the display area AA outside the second fan-out area FT2.
[0114] like Figure 2 As shown, this exemplary embodiment adds the first analog line Dm1, the second analog line Dm2, the third analog line Dm3, and the fourth analog line Dm4, so that the density of the signal lines in the entire display area AA is close to the same, thereby solving the technical problem of the above-mentioned dark shadows. It should be noted that when the first data fan-out line Fa1 and the second data fan-out line Fa2 are distributed in other ways, the present disclosure can also eliminate the above-mentioned dark shadows by adding analog lines.
[0115] In this exemplary embodiment, a plurality of the first signal lines H1 may be located in the same conductive layer, and a plurality of the second signal lines V2 may be located in the same conductive layer; the conductive layer where the second signal lines V2 are located may be located on the side of the conductive layer where the first signal lines H1 are located away from the base substrate. For example, the first signal line H1 may be located in the first source-drain layer of the display panel, and the second signal line V2 may be located in the second source-drain layer of the display panel. In addition, the data line Da may also be located in the second source-drain layer of the display panel, and the orthographic projection of the second signal line V2 on the base substrate may be located between the orthographic projections of two adjacent data lines Da on the base substrate.
[0116] It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the first signal line and the second signal line may also be located in other conductive layers. For example, the first signal line may also be located in the first gate layer, the second gate layer, and the third gate layer in the display panel. The first signal line and the second signal line may also be located in an added conductive layer. In addition, the first signal line and the second signal line may also be located in the same conductive layer.
[0117] like Figure 3 , 4 ,5, Figure 3 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the first area K1, Figure 4 for Figure 3 Part of the structural layout of the conductive layer where the first signal line is located, Figure 5 for Figure 3 Part of the structural layout of the conductive layer where the second signal line is located. The first area K1 is partially located in the first sub-fan-out area FT11, the first area K1 is partially located in the second fan-out area FT2, and the first area K1 is partially located in the display area of the first sub-fan-out area FT11 away from the second fan-out area FT2.

Figure 2 ,6 As shown in FIG. 8 , in the second region K2 , the fourth simulation line Dm4 is connected through the via H to the first simulation line Dm1 intersecting with its orthographic projection on the substrate. Figure 6 The black squares in the middle indicate the positions of the via holes. In addition, the second sub-fan-out region FT12 away from the display region of the second fan-out region FT2 may have the same structure as the second region K2.
[0119] like Fig. 9 , 10 , as shown in 11, Fig. 9 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the third area K3, Fig.10 for Fig. 9 Part of the structural layout of the conductive layer where the first signal line is located, Fig.11 for Fig. 9 Part of the structural layout of the conductive layer where the second signal line is located. The third area K3 is located in the first sub-fan-out area FT11. Figure 2 , 9 As shown in FIG. 11 , the first data fan-out line Fa1 is not connected to the second analog line Dm2 and the fourth analog line Dm4 intersecting with the orthographic projection thereof on the substrate. The structures of the first sub-fan-out area FT11 and the second sub-fan-out area FT12 may be the same.
[0120] like Fig.12 , 13 , 14, Fig.12 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the fourth area K4, Fig.13 for Fig.12 Part of the structural layout of the conductive layer where the first signal line is located, Fig.14 for Fig.12 Part of the structural layout of the conductive layer where the second signal line is located. The fourth area K4 is located in the second fan-out area FT2. Figure 2 , 12 As shown in FIG. 14 , the second data fan-out line Fa2 is not connected to the first simulation line Dm1 intersecting with its orthographic projection on the substrate.
[0121] like Fig.15 , 16 , 17, Fig.15 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the fifth area K5, Fig.16 for Fig.15 Part of the structural layout of the conductive layer where the first signal line is located, Fig.17 for Fig.15 Partial structural layout of the conductive layer where the second signal line is located. The fifth region K5 is located in the middle of the second fan-out region FT2 in the first direction X. Figure 2 , 15As shown in FIG. 17 , the plurality of second signal lines V2 further include a fifth analog line Dm5, a portion of the structure of the fifth analog line Dm5 is located in the second fan-out region FT2, and the fifth analog line Dm5 is connected to the first analog line Dm1 and the third analog line Dm3 intersecting with the orthographic projection thereof on the substrate through vias. Fig.15 The black squares in the middle indicate the positions of the vias. In this exemplary embodiment, there may be one fifth simulation line, and it should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, there may be more than one fifth simulation line.
[0122] like Fig.18 , 19 , 20, Fig.18 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the sixth area K6, Fig.19 for Fig.18 Part of the structural layout of the conductive layer where the first signal line is located, Fig. 20 for Fig.18 The sixth region K6 is located in the display area of the fan-out region away from the lower frame of the display panel. Figure 2 , 18 As shown in FIG. 20 , in the sixth region K6, the third simulation line Dm3 is connected to the fourth simulation line Dm4 intersecting with its orthographic projection on the substrate through a via hole. Fig.18 The black squares indicate the locations of the vias.
[0123] In this exemplary embodiment, Figure 2-20 As shown, the minimum distance between the orthographic projections of two adjacent first signal lines H1 on the substrate in the second direction Y is S1, and the maximum distance between the orthographic projections of two adjacent first signal lines H1 on the substrate in the second direction Y is S2, wherein (S2-S1) / S1 may be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.2, for example, (S2-S1) / S1 may be equal to 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, etc. When (S2-S1) / S1 is equal to 0, that is, the orthographic projections of the first signal lines H1 on the substrate are equally spaced in the second direction Y. Figure 2-20As shown, the minimum distance between the orthographic projections of two adjacent second signal lines V2 on the substrate in the first direction X is S3, and the maximum distance between the orthographic projections of two adjacent second signal lines V2 on the substrate in the first direction X is S4, wherein (S4-S3) / S3 is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.2, for example, (S4-S3) / S3 can be equal to 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, etc. When (S4-S3) / S3 is equal to 0, that is, the orthographic projections of the second signal lines V2 on the substrate are evenly spaced in the first direction X. This setting can make the first signal lines H1 and the second signal lines V2 evenly distributed in the display area, thereby further eliminating the above-mentioned dark shadow problem.
[0124] In this exemplary embodiment, the display panel may further include a pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting unit, wherein the pixel driving circuit is connected to the first electrode of the light-emitting unit. The display panel may further include: a common electrode layer, wherein the common electrode layer is used to form the second electrode of the light-emitting unit. Among them, the first analog line Dm1, the second analog line Dm2, the third analog line Dm3, and the fourth analog line Dm4 may be connected to the common electrode layer. For example, the first analog line Dm1, the second analog line Dm2, the third analog line Dm3, and the fourth analog line Dm4 may be connected to the common electrode layer through a via located in the frame area around the display area. The first analog line Dm1, the second analog line Dm2, the third analog line Dm3, and the fourth analog line Dm4 forming a grid structure can reduce the resistance of the common electrode layer itself, thereby reducing the voltage difference of the second electrode of the light-emitting unit at different positions of the display panel. This setting can improve the uniformity of the display of the display panel.
[0125] like Figure 21-23 As shown, Fig.21 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the seventh area K7, Fig. 22 for Fig.21 The conductive layer structure layout where the first signal line is located, Fig.23 for Fig.21 The conductive layer structure diagram where the second signal line is located. Figure 2As shown, the display panel may further include a frame area BB located around the display area AA, the frame area BB includes a first frame area BB1 and a second frame area BB2 arranged opposite to each other, and the fan-out area FT is located on a side close to the second frame area BB2. The display panel may further include: an electrode ring VSS and a power supply circuit (not shown). The electrode ring VSS is located in the frame area BB, and the electrode ring VSS may be a ring structure located in the frame area BB, and the electrode ring VSS may be connected to the common electrode layer at different positions. The partial structure of the electrode ring VSS located in the first frame area BB1 connects the second analog line Dm2 and the fourth analog line Dm4. The power supply circuit may be bound to the second frame area BB2, and the power supply circuit is connected to at least a partial structure of the electrode ring VSS located in the second frame area BB2, and the power supply circuit may be used to provide a power supply signal to the electrode ring VSS. The common electrode layer on one side away from the power supply circuit has a large voltage drop. The present application provides a power supply voltage to the second analog line Dm2 and the fourth analog line Fm4 through the electrode ring VSS located in the first frame area BB1, thereby reducing the voltage drop of the common electrode layer in the second direction Y.
[0126] like Figure 21-23 As shown, the electrode ring VSS may include a first electrode ring 4VSS and a second electrode ring 5VSS, the orthographic projection of the first electrode ring 4VSS on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second electrode ring 5VSS on the substrate at least partially overlap, and the second electrode ring 5VSS is connected to the first electrode ring 4VSS through a via. Fig.21 The black square in the middle indicates the position of the via. The electrode ring of the double conductive layer can reduce the self-resistance of the electrode ring. A power connection line VDDx can also be provided in the first frame area B1, and the power connection line VDDx can include a first power connection line 4VDD and a second power connection line 5VDD, and the orthographic projections of the first power connection line 4VDD and the second power connection line 5VDD on the substrate at least partially overlap, and the first power connection line 4VDD and the second power connection line 5VDD are connected through a via. The power connection line VDDx can be connected to the power line VDD located in the display area.
[0127] In this exemplary embodiment, Figure 2-20As shown, the first signal line H1 may include a plurality of first via contact portions Ht1 and a first extension portion Lt1, the orthographic projections of the plurality of first via contact portions Ht1 on the base substrate are spaced apart along the first direction X, the first extension portion Lt1 is connected to the first via contact portion Ht1, and the size of the orthographic projection of the first via contact portion Ht1 on the base substrate in the second direction Y is larger than the size of the orthographic projection of the first extension portion Lt1 on the base substrate in the second direction Y. The second signal line V2 may include a plurality of second via contact portions Ht2 and a second extension portion Lt2, the orthographic projections of the plurality of second via contact portions Ht2 on the base substrate are spaced apart along the second direction Y, the second extension portion Lt2 is connected to the second via contact portion Ht2, and the size of the orthographic projection of the second via contact portion Ht2 on the base substrate in the first direction X is larger than the size of the orthographic projection of the second extension portion Lt2 on the base substrate in the first direction X. The first via contact portion Ht1 and the second via contact portion Ht2 are arranged correspondingly, and the orthographic projection of the first via contact portion Ht1 on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the corresponding second via contact portion Ht2 on the base substrate at least partially overlap.
[0128] like Figure 2-20 As shown, the first via contact Ht1 may include a first real hole contact Htr1 and a first virtual hole contact Htd1, and the second via contact Ht2 may include a second real hole contact Htr2 and a second virtual hole contact Htd2. The first real hole contact Htr1 and the corresponding second real hole contact Htr2 are connected through vias, that is, the first signal line H1 and the second signal line V2 may be connected through the first real hole contact Htr1 and the second real hole contact Htr2 vias. The first virtual hole contact Htd1 and the corresponding second virtual hole contact Htd2 are insulated. The first virtual hole contact Htd1 can simulate the reflection phenomenon of the first real hole contact Htr1, and the second virtual hole contact Htd2 can simulate the reflection phenomenon of the second real hole contact Htr2. Therefore, the first virtual hole contact Htd1 and the second virtual hole contact Htd2 can improve the shadow problem of the display panel when the screen is off. In addition, the first virtual hole contact portion Htd1 can simulate the parasitic capacitance of the first real hole contact portion Htr1, and the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2 can simulate the parasitic capacitance of the second real hole contact portion Htr2, so that the first virtual hole contact portion Htd1 and the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2 can improve the display uniformity of the display panel.
[0129] In this exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projections of the first virtual hole contact portion Htd1 and the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2 on the base substrate overlap, so that from the perspective of light reflection, the display panel can selectively set the first virtual hole contact portion Htd1 or the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2.
[0130] In this exemplary embodiment, Figure 2-20 As shown, the minimum distance between the orthographic projections of adjacent first via contact portions Ht1 on the substrate in the first direction X is S5, and the maximum distance between the orthographic projections of adjacent first via contact portions Ht1 on the substrate in the first direction X is S6, wherein (S6-S5) / S5 may be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.2, for example, (S6-S5) / S5 may be equal to 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, etc. When (S6-S5) / S5 is equal to 0, the orthographic projections of the first via contact portions Ht1 on the substrate are evenly spaced in the first direction X. The evenly spaced first via contact portions Ht1 can further improve the problem of dark shadows when the display panel is off. Figure 2-20 As shown, the minimum distance between the orthographic projections of adjacent second via contact portions Ht2 on the base substrate in the second direction Y is S7, and the maximum distance between the orthographic projections of adjacent second via contact portions Ht2 on the base substrate in the second direction Y is S8, wherein (S8-S7) / S7 is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.2. For example, (S8-S7) / S7 can be equal to 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, etc. When (S8-S7) / S7 is equal to 0, the orthographic projections of the second via contact portions Ht2 on the base substrate are evenly spaced in the second direction Y, and the evenly spaced second via contact portions Ht2 can further improve the shadow problem of the display panel when the screen is off.
[0131] In this exemplary embodiment, the display panel further includes a pixel driving circuit and a light emitting unit, the pixel driving circuit is connected to the first electrode of the light emitting unit, and the display panel further includes an electrode layer for forming the first electrode of the light emitting unit. Fig.24 , 25 , 26, 27, Fig.24 This is a structural diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel disclosed herein. Fig.25 for Fig.24 The structural layout of the conductive layer where the first signal line is located, Fig.26 for Fig.24 The structural layout of the conductive layer where the second signal line is located, Fig. 27 for Fig.24The structural layout of the middle electrode layer. The electrode layer may include a plurality of electrode portions, including a first electrode portion R, a second electrode portion B, and a third electrode portion G. The first electrode portion R may be used to form a first electrode of a red light-emitting unit; the second electrode portion B may be used to form a first electrode of a blue light-emitting unit; and the third electrode portion G may be used to form a first electrode of a green light-emitting unit. The display panel further includes a pixel definition layer located on the side of the electrode layer away from the substrate, and a pixel opening for forming a light-emitting unit is formed on the pixel definition layer. The orthographic projection of the first electrode portion R on the substrate coincides with the orthographic projection of the corresponding pixel opening on the pixel definition layer on the substrate substrate, the orthographic projection of the third electrode portion G on the substrate coincides with the orthographic projection of the corresponding pixel opening on the substrate substrate, and the orthographic projection of the second electrode portion B on the substrate coincides with the orthographic projection of the corresponding pixel opening on the substrate substrate.
[0132] like Figure 24-27 As shown, the orthographic projection of the break D1 between the first data fan-out line Fa1 and the first analog line Dm1 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the electrode portion on the substrate; the orthographic projection of the break D2 between the second data fan-out line Fa2 and the second analog line Dm2 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the electrode portion on the substrate. This arrangement can improve the flatness of the electrode portion, and a light-emitting material layer with higher flatness can be formed on the electrode portion with higher flatness, so that this arrangement improves the uniformity of display of the display panel.
[0133] In this exemplary embodiment, the first real hole contact portion Htr1 and the second real hole contact portion Htr2 are connected through a via hole, and the second real hole contact portion Htr2 will have a depression facing the substrate at the via hole position, and the second real hole contact portion Htr2 will have a strong reflection phenomenon at the depression position. However, since the first virtual hole contact portion Htd1 and the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2 are not connected, the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2 is relatively flat, and the reflection of the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2 is weak. The inconsistent reflection ability of the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2 and the second real hole contact portion Htr2 can easily cause a dark shadow to appear when the display panel is in the off state.
[0134] like Fig.28 As shown, Figure 3A partial cross-sectional view of the display panel along the dotted line CC is shown. The first signal line is located at the first source-drain layer, and the second signal line is located at the second source-drain layer. The display panel may also include a passivation layer 97 and a first flat layer 98 located on one side of the base substrate 90, and the passivation layer 97 is located between the first source-drain layer and the second source-drain layer. The first flat layer 98 is located between the passivation layer 97 and the second source-drain layer. The thickness of the first flat layer 98 is much greater than the thickness of the passivation layer 97. In this exemplary embodiment, the recessed depth of the second real hole contact Htr2 at the via position can be reduced by reducing the thickness of the passivation layer 97 and / or the first flat layer 98, thereby improving the above-mentioned shadow problem. In this exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the first flat layer 98 may be less than or equal to 1.6um, for example, the thickness of the first flat layer 98 may be 1.2um, 1.3um, 1.4um, 1.5um, or 1.6um; the thickness of the passivation layer 97 may be 1000 angstroms to 5000 angstroms, for example, the thickness of the passivation layer 97 may be 1000 angstroms, 2000 angstroms, 3000 angstroms, 4000 angstroms, or 5000 angstroms.
[0135] like Fig.29 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of another exemplary embodiment of a display panel of the present disclosure. In the display panel, only a first planar layer 98 may be disposed between the first source-drain layer and the second source-drain layer, and this arrangement may also reduce the depression depth of the second real hole contact portion Htr2 at the via hole position, thereby improving the above-mentioned dark shadow problem.
[0136] like Fig.30 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of the present disclosure. In this exemplary embodiment, a first opening H3 is formed on the first flat layer 98, and the orthographic projection of the first opening H3 on the base substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2 on the base substrate. This arrangement can make the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2 form a groove facing the base substrate 90, thereby improving the uniformity of the reflection of the display area by increasing the reflective ability of the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2. Among them, the first opening H3 can be an opening that penetrates the first flat layer 98, or it can be a blind hole that does not penetrate the first flat layer 98.
[0137] like Fig.31, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of the present disclosure. In this exemplary embodiment, a second opening H2 is formed on the passivation layer 97, and the orthographic projection of the second opening H2 on the base substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the second virtual hole contact portion Htd2 on the base substrate.
