[0059] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0060] Organic light emitting diode (OLED) is a new type of current-type semiconductor light-emitting device. The organic light-emitting diode realizes the display function by controlling the injection of carriers and simultaneously compound-exciting the organic material to emit light. Among them, the driving mode of the organic light-emitting diode can be divided into active driving and passive driving. Correspondingly, the display panel can be an active matrix display panel (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode, AMOLED) and a passive matrix display panel (passive matrix organic light-emitting diode, PMOLED). Compared with passive driving, active driving can equip each sub-pixel in the display panel with a thin film transistor (thin film transistor, TFT) and a charge storage capacitor, thereby improving the load driving capability, making it easy to achieve high resolution and high brightness, and having the advantages of high working efficiency and low power consumption. AMOLED display panel is easy to integrate into the display panel, and it is easier to improve the circuit integration to achieve large-area display. It is an ideal device for low-power large-size display devices.
[0061] However, AMOLED display panels still have obvious shortcomings in terms of structure. For example, the peripheral circuits of AMOLED display panels need to occupy a larger space in the layout, so the border width of the display panel is larger, which affects the narrow border of AMOLED display products.
[0062] In the related art, the display panel has a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area. The peripheral area includes a fanout bonding area located on one side of the display area, and a lighting test circuit (cell test) is located on the side of the bonding area away from the display area. Since the design space of the lighting test circuit in the pixel row direction of the display panel is limited, it is necessary to design two rows of lighting test circuits. Figure 1, taking a two-row lighting test circuit as an example, the related technology is briefly introduced. The two-row lighting test circuit includes two first control lines (CTSW21 and CTSW22), one second control line (CTSW3), two first signal input lines (CTDR1 and CTDR2) and two second signal input lines (CTDB1 and CTDB2).
[0063] The first control line (CTSW21), the second signal input line (CTDB1), the first signal input line (CTDR1), the second control line (CTSW3), the second signal input line (CTDB2), the first signal input line (CTDR2) and the first control line (CTSW22) are all extended along the pixel row direction and arranged in sequence along the pixel column direction. In addition, each lighting test circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor and the second transistor of the first lighting test circuit are located between the first control line (CTSW21) and the second control line (CTSW3), and the first transistor and the second transistor of the second lighting test circuit are located between the second control line (CTSW3) and the first control line (CTSW22).
[0064] The first transistor includes a first gate, a first source and a first drain, and the second transistor includes a second gate, a second source and a second drain. The first control line (CTSW21) is connected to the first gate of the first transistor of a lighting test circuit by transferring to the vertical wiring of the first gate layer, and the first control line (CTSW22) is connected to the first gate of the first transistor of another lighting test circuit by transferring to the vertical wiring of the first gate layer. Both sides of the second control line (CTSW3) are connected to the second gates of the second transistors of the two lighting test circuits by transferring to the vertical wiring of the first gate layer.
[0065] The first signal input lines (CTDR1 and CTDR2) are used to write the data signal of the red sub-pixel, and the second signal input lines (CTDB1 and CTDB2) are used to write the data signal of the blue sub-pixel, which is usually a DC signal with a fixed voltage value. The first control lines (CTSW21 and CTSW22) are used to control the on or off of the first transistor. The second control line (CTSW3) is used to control the on or off of the second transistor.
[0066] The first transistor in each lighting test circuit can be turned on or off under the control of a control signal provided by a first control line (CTSW21 or CTSW22), and the second transistor in each lighting test circuit can be turned on or off under the control of a control signal provided by a second control line (CTSW3). The lighting test circuit also includes a first signal output line extending in the direction of the pixel column. When the first transistor is turned on and the second transistor is turned off, the first signal input line (CTDR1 or CTDR2) transmits a first input signal to the first signal output line through the first transistor. When the first transistor is turned off and the second transistor is turned on, the second signal input line (CTDB1 and CTDB2) transmits a second input signal to the first signal output line through the second transistor. The lighting test is thus achieved by alternately turning on the first transistor and the second transistor.
[0067] However, this solution causes these wirings to occupy more layout space in the direction of pixel columns, resulting in a wider width in the peripheral area, making it difficult to achieve a narrow frame of the display panel.
[0068] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The display panel 10 may include: a base substrate 101, a plurality of sub-pixels 102 located on one side of the base substrate 101, and a plurality of test circuit groups 103.

[0070] The first transistor M1 includes a first gate, and the second transistor M2 includes a second gate. The first control line 10311 and the second control line 10312 both extend along the first direction X.
[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the orthographic projection of the first control line 10311 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the first gate of the first transistor M1 on the substrate 101 have a first overlapping region formed by at least partial overlap, and the first control line 10311 is electrically connected to the first gate in the first overlapping region. The first control line 10311 is used to provide a first control signal to the first gate. The first transistor M1 is turned on or off under the control of the first control signal provided by the first control line 10311 to the first gate.
[0072] The orthographic projection of the second control line 10312 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second gate of the second transistor M2 on the substrate 101 have a second overlapping region formed by at least partial overlap, and the second control line 10312 is electrically connected to the second gate in the second overlapping region. The second control line 10312 is used to provide a second control signal to the second gate. The second transistor M2 is turned on or off under the control of the second control signal provided by the second control line 10312 to the second gate.
[0073] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, in which the first control line is electrically connected to the first gate of the first transistor in a first overlapping region that at least partially overlaps, and the second control line is electrically connected to the second gate of the second transistor in a second overlapping region that at least partially overlaps. Thus, not only can the control of the first transistor and the second transistor be achieved, but also the first control line and the second control line can be prevented from occupying too much layout space in the second direction, thereby facilitating the realization of a narrow frame of the display panel.
[0074] Optionally, through the design of the embodiment of the present application, the size of the display panel along the second direction Y of about 23 μm (micrometers) to 28 μm can be saved.

Among them, the first signal input line 10313, the first control line 10313, the second control line 10316 and the second signal input line 10314 are arranged in sequence along the second direction Y. Among them, the second direction Y intersects with the first direction X, for example, the first direction X is the pixel row direction of the display panel, and the second direction Y is the pixel column direction of the display panel. In addition, the first transistor M1 may also include a first source and a first drain, and the second transistor M2 may also include a second source and a second drain.

In the case where the first control line 10311 controls the first transistor M1 to turn on, and the second control line 10312 controls the second transistor M2 to turn off, the first signal output line 10315 is used to transmit the input signal received from the first drain to the plurality of sub-pixels 102. In the case where the first control line 10311 controls the first transistor M1 to turn off, and the second control line 10312 controls the second transistor M2 to turn on, the first signal output line 10315 is also used to transmit the input signal received from the second drain to the plurality of sub-pixels 102.

[0085] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, for each of the first source-drain pattern a71, the second source-drain pattern a72, and the third source-drain pattern a73, the orthographic projection of the source-drain pattern on the base substrate 101 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the active pattern a11 on the base substrate 101. Moreover, the source-drain pattern and the active pattern a11 are electrically connected through the sixth via hole in the first insulating layer a2, the second insulating layer a4, and the third insulating layer a6.
[0086] As a first optional implementation, refer to Figure 3 and Fig. 9 , the orthographic projection of the first via hole on the base substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second via hole on the base substrate 101 are both located within the orthographic projection of the active pattern a11 on the base substrate 101. That is, the area where the first control line 10311 is electrically connected to the first gate pattern a31 and the area where the second control line 10312 is electrically connected to the second gate pattern a32 are both located within the orthographic projection of the active pattern a11 on the base substrate 101.
[0087] In this implementation, reference Figures 5 to 8 If the size of the first via hole (or the second via hole) is too large and exposes the boundary of the first gate pattern a31 (or the second gate pattern a32), the first control line 10311 (or the second control line 10312) will cover the side wall of the first gate pattern a31 (or the second gate pattern a32), and the first control line 10311 (or the second control line 10312) may be short-circuited with the active pattern a11 due to the close distance, and the first transistor M1 (or the second transistor M2) will fail.
[0088] Based on this, in order to avoid transistor failure, the orthographic projection of the first gate pattern a31 on the base substrate 101 can cover the orthographic projection of the first via hole on the base substrate 101, and the orthographic projection of the second gate pattern a32 on the base substrate 101 can cover the orthographic projection of the second via hole on the base substrate 101.
[0089] Optionally, the apertures of the first via hole and the second via hole range from 2 μm to 2.5 μm. In the original design, the length of the first gate pattern a31 along the second direction Y (i.e., the width of the first gate pattern a31) and the length of the second gate pattern a32 along the second direction Y (i.e., the width of the second gate pattern a32) range from about 3.2 μm to 4.5 μm. In order to avoid transistor failure, the width of the first gate pattern a31 and the width of the second gate pattern a32 can be made to range from 4.5 μm to 6.4 μm.
[0090] Without changing the width-to-length ratio of the channels of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, since the width of the first gate pattern a31 and the width of the second gate pattern a32 are increased (equivalent to increasing the length of the channels of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2), it is necessary to appropriately increase the length of the active pattern a11 along the first direction X, so as to increase the length of the overlapping area of the first gate pattern a31 and the active pattern a11 along the first direction X, and the length of the overlapping area of the second gate pattern a32 and the active pattern a11 along the first direction X (equivalent to increasing the width of the channels of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2). Therefore, the range of the length of the active pattern a11 along the first direction X can be changed from the original 15μm to 17μm to 18μm to 20μm. In addition, the length of the first gate pattern a31 along the first direction X (ie, the length of the first gate pattern a31 ) and the length of the second gate pattern a32 along the first direction X (ie, the length of the second gate pattern a32 ) can be changed from the original 21 μm to 24 μm to 26 μm to 30 μm.
[0091] As a second optional implementation, the second insulating layer a4 and the third insulating layer a6 include at least two first vias and two second vias. The active pattern a11 includes a first portion a111 and two second portions a112 located on both sides of the first portion a111. The orthographic projection of the first portion a111 on the substrate 101 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first gate pattern a31 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second gate pattern a32 on the substrate 101. The orthographic projection of one of the second portions a112 on the substrate 101 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first source and drain pattern a71 on the substrate 101, and the orthographic projection of the other second portion a112 on the substrate 101 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second source and drain pattern a72 on the substrate 101.
[0092] The first option, refer to Fig.10 , at least two first vias are arranged with the first portion a111 along the first direction X, and at least two first vias are located on both sides of the first portion a111. The length of the first gate pattern a31 along the first direction X is greater than the length of the first portion a111 along the first direction X. The first gate pattern a31 includes a first region and a second region that are not overlapped with the first portion a111 and are arranged along the first direction X. The first control line 10311 and the first gate pattern a31 are electrically connected in the first region and the second region respectively through at least one first via. Fig.10 The second insulating layer a4 and the third insulating layer a6 include two first via holes.
[0093] And, reference Fig.10, at least two second vias are arranged with the first portion a111 along the first direction X, and at least two second vias are located on both sides of the first portion a111. The length of the second gate pattern a32 along the first direction X is greater than the length of the first portion a111 along the first direction X. The second gate pattern a32 includes a third region and a fourth region that do not overlap with the first portion a111 and are arranged along the first direction X. The second control line 10312 and the second gate pattern a32 are electrically connected in the third region and the fourth region respectively through at least one second via. Fig.10 The second insulating layer a4 and the third insulating layer a6 include two second via holes.
[0094] The second option, refer to Fig.11 , at least two first vias are arranged with the first portion a111 along the first direction X, and at least two first vias are located on one side of the first portion a111. The length of the first gate pattern a31 along the first direction X is greater than the length of the first portion a111 along the first direction X. The first gate pattern a31 includes a fifth region that does not overlap with the first portion a111 (the fifth region can be located on the left or right side of the first portion a111). The first control line 10311 and the first gate pattern a31 are electrically connected in the fifth region through at least two first vias. Fig.11 The second insulating layer a4 and the third insulating layer a6 include two first via holes.
[0095] And, reference Fig.11 , at least two second vias are arranged with the first part a111 along the first direction X, and at least two second vias are located on one side of the first part a111. The length of the second gate pattern a32 along the first direction X is greater than the length of the first part a111 along the first direction X. The second gate pattern a32 includes a sixth region that does not overlap with the first part a111 (the sixth region may be located on the left or right side of the first part a111, and the sixth region and the fifth region may be located on the same side of the first part a111, or may be located on both sides of the first part a111 respectively). The second control line 10312 and the second gate pattern a32 are electrically connected in the sixth region through at least two second vias. Fig.11 The second insulating layer a4 and the third insulating layer a6 include two second via holes.
[0096] Refer to the above Fig.11 , the two first via holes can be arranged along the first direction X, and the two second via holes can be arranged along the first direction X. Of course, referring to Fig.12 , the two first vias may also be arranged along the second direction Y, and the two second vias may also be arranged along the second direction Y. In addition, the two first vias may also be arranged along the first direction X, and the two second vias may be arranged along the second direction Y. Alternatively, the two first vias may be arranged along the second direction Y, and the two second vias may be arranged along the first direction X.
[0097] That is, in the embodiment of the present application, at least two first vias are arranged along the first direction X, or at least two first vias are arranged along the second direction Y. At least two second vias are arranged along the first direction X, or at least two second vias are arranged along the second direction Y.
[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the length of the first portion a111 along the first direction X may be less than or equal to the length of the second portion a112 along the first direction X. Figures 9 to 12 , the length of the first portion a111 along the first direction X is equal to the length of the second portion a112 along the first direction X. In this solution, the length of the first gate pattern a31 along the first direction X and the length of the second gate pattern a32 along the first direction X need to be designed to be greater than the length of the second portion a112 along the first direction X. Of course, referring to Fig.13 , the length of the first portion a111 along the first direction X is less than the length of the second portion a112 along the first direction X. In this solution, the length of the first gate pattern a31 along the first direction X and the length of the second gate pattern a32 along the first direction X may be greater than or equal to the length of the second portion a112 along the first direction X. Optionally, the length of the first portion a111 along the first direction X ranges from 15 μm to 17 μm. The length of the second portion a112 along the first direction X ranges from 18 μm to 20 μm.
[0099] In the second implementation, since the orthographic projection of the first via hole on the base substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second via hole on the base substrate 101 do not overlap with the orthographic projection of the active pattern a11 on the base substrate 101, the electrical connection between the first control line 10311 and the first gate pattern a31, and the electrical connection between the second control line 10312 and the second gate pattern a32 will not affect the active pattern a11, thereby ensuring the performance of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2.
[0100] In the examples of this application, refer to Figures 9 to 13 The test circuit group 103 includes two first test circuits 1031 arranged along the second direction Y. The two first test circuits 1031 may share a first signal input line 10313 , or the two first test circuits 1031 may share a second signal input line 10314 .
[0101] If the two first test circuits 1031 share a first signal input line 10313, the first signal input line 10313 can provide a first input signal to the sources of the two transistors connected to the first signal input line 10312 in the two first test circuits 1031. If the two first test circuits 1031 share a second signal input line 10314, the second signal input line 10314 can provide a second input signal to the two transistors connected to the second signal input line 10314 in the two first test circuits 1031.
[0102] refer to Figures 9 to 13 It can be seen that the first signal output line 10315 in the first first test circuit 1031 and the first signal output line 10315 in the second first test circuit 1031 are respectively located on both sides of the transistors included in the two first test circuits 1031. This can improve the pattern uniformity of the layout design.
[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the display panel 10 may further include a plurality of second test circuits (not shown in the figure), which may be located in the peripheral area 10b and arranged along the extension direction of the boundary of the display area 10a. For example, the plurality of second test circuits may be located on a side of the test circuit group 103 away from the display area 10a.
[0104] refer to Figures 9 to 13 Each second test circuit 104 includes a second signal output line 1041, which can extend along the second direction Y. Of course, the second signal output line 1041 can also be bent appropriately to adapt to the layout design. Of course, the second test circuit 104 can also include a third transistor M3 (described below) Fig.14 A third transistor is shown in FIG), a third signal input line, and a third control line ( Figures 9 to 13 The third transistor, the third signal input line, and the third control line are not shown in the figure. The third transistor includes a third gate, a third source and a third drain. The third control line is electrically connected to the third gate and is used to provide a third control signal to the third gate. The third transistor is turned on or off under the control of the third control signal provided by the third control line. The third signal input line is electrically connected to the third source and is used to provide a third input signal to the third source. The second signal output line is electrically connected to the third drain and is used to transmit the third input signal received from the third drain to multiple sub-pixels 102 when the third control line controls the third transistor to turn on.

The potential of the third control signal CTSW1 provided by the third control line is the first potential L, and the third control signal CTSW1 is a DC signal. Among them, the first potential L can be an effective potential, the second potential H can be an invalid potential, and the first potential L can be a low potential relative to the second potential H.

For example, the range of the fixed voltage signal is 0V (volts) to 8V. For example, if the fixed voltage signal received by the sub-pixel is 0V, the sub-pixel can emit light; if the fixed voltage signal received by the sub-pixel is 7V, the sub-pixel may not emit light.
[0110] During the lighting test of the display panel, the display screen of the display panel can be adjusted by controlling the magnitude of the fixed voltage signal inputted by each signal input line, thereby realizing the test.
