[0064] 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.
[0065] 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.
[0066] 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.
[0067] 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.
[0068] 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.
[0069] 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.
[0070] 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.
[0071] 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.
[0072] 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°.
[0073] 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".
[0074] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly limited to allow for process and measurement errors.
[0075] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device. Figure 1As shown, the OLED display device may include a timing controller, a data signal driver, a scan signal driver, a light emitting signal driver, and a pixel array, and the pixel array may include a plurality of scan signal lines (S1 to Sm), a plurality of data lines (D1 to Dn), a plurality of light emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo), and a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij.

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.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, the second electrode of the light emitting device is connected to the second power line VSS, the signal of the second power line VSS is a low level signal, and the signal of the first power line VDD is a continuously provided high level signal. The first scanning signal line S1 is a scanning signal line in the pixel driving circuit of the current display row, and the second scanning signal line S2 is a scanning signal line in the pixel driving circuit of the previous display row, that is, for the nth display row, the first scanning signal line S1 is S(n), and the second scanning signal line S2 is S(n-1), and the second scanning signal line S2 of the current display row and the first scanning signal line S1 in the pixel driving circuit of the previous display row can be the same signal line, so as to reduce the signal lines of the display panel and realize the narrow frame of the display panel.

[0088] Figure 6 This is a working timing diagram of a pixel driving circuit. Figure 5 The operation process of the pixel driving circuit of the example is described in detail. Figure 5 The pixel driving circuit includes 7 transistors (first transistor T1 to sixth transistor T7), 1 storage capacitor C1 and 7 signal lines (data line DATA, first scanning signal line S1, second scanning signal line S2, initial signal line INIT, first power line VDD, second power line VSS and light-emitting signal line EM), and all 7 transistors are P-type transistors.
[0089] In an exemplary embodiment, the operation process of the pixel driving circuit may include:
[0090] The first stage A1 is called the reset stage. 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 EM 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 C1 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 EM 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.
[0091] 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 EM are high level signals, and the data line DATA outputs the data voltage. In this stage, since the second end of the storage capacitor C1 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 DATA 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 DATA and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the storage capacitor C1. The voltage of the second end (second node N2) of the storage capacitor C1 is Vdata-|Vth|, Vdata is the data voltage output by the data line DATA, 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 luminous signal line EM is a high-level signal, which turns off the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6.
[0092] The third stage A3 is called the light-emitting stage, the signal of the light-emitting signal line EM 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 EM is a low-level signal, so that the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, 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.
[0093] 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:
[0094] I=K*(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vdata+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vdata] 2
[0095] 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, Vdata is the data voltage output by the data line DATA, and Vdd is the power supply voltage output by the first power supply line VDD.
[0096] Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing a planar structure of a binding area in a substrate. Figure 8 Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a data fan-out line in a binding area. 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. The second fan-out area 203 includes a plurality of data fan-out lines led out in a fan-out routing manner. The anti-static area 204 includes an anti-static circuit, which is configured to prevent electrostatic damage to the display substrate by eliminating static electricity. The driving chip area 205 includes an integrated circuit (IC), which is configured to be connected to a plurality of data fan-out lines. The binding pin area 206 includes a binding pad (Bonding Pad), which is configured to be bound and connected to an external flexible printed circuit (FPC).
[0097] 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.

In an exemplary embodiment, forming the third conductive layer may include: depositing a third metal film on the substrate on which the aforementioned pattern is formed, patterning the third metal film using a patterning process, and forming a third conductive layer disposed on the fourth insulating layer, wherein the third conductive layer at least includes: a first power line 41, a data line 42, a first connection electrode 43, a second connection electrode 44, and a third connection electrode 45, such as Fig.25a and Fig.25b As shown, Fig.25b for Fig.25a In an exemplary embodiment, the third conductive layer may be referred to as a first source-drain metal (SD1) layer.
[0181] like Fig.25a As shown, in the exemplary embodiment, the first power line 41 extends along the first direction D1, and the first power line 41 is connected to the second electrode plate 32 through the second via hole V2 on the one hand, and is connected to the shielding electrode 33 through the eighth via hole V8 on the other hand, and is connected to the fifth active layer through the third via hole V3 on the other hand, so that the shielding electrode 33 and the second electrode plate 32 have the same potential as the first power line 41. Since the orthographic projection of the shielding electrode 33 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the subsequently formed data line on the substrate have an overlapping area, and the shielding electrode 33 is connected to the first power line 41, the influence of the data voltage jump on the key nodes is effectively shielded, and the data voltage jump is prevented from affecting the potential of the key nodes of the pixel driving circuit, thereby improving the display effect.
[0182] In an exemplary embodiment, the data line 42 extends along the first direction D1 and is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the fifth via hole V5 so that the data signal transmitted by the data line 42 is written into the fourth transistor T4 .

In an exemplary embodiment, the first connection electrode 43 can serve as the second electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first electrode of the second transistor T2.
[0184] In an exemplary embodiment, the second connection electrode 44 extends along the first direction D1, a first end thereof is connected to the initial signal line 31 through a ninth via hole V9, and a second end thereof is connected to the first region of the seventh active layer (also the first region of the first active layer) through a seventh via hole V7, so that the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 and the first electrode of the first transistor T1 have the same potential as the initial signal line 31. In an exemplary embodiment, the second connection electrode 44 can serve as the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 and the first electrode of the first transistor T1.
[0185] In an exemplary embodiment, the third connection electrode 45 is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer (also the second region of the seventh active layer) through the fourth via hole V4, so that the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 have the same potential. In an exemplary embodiment, the third connection electrode 45 can serve as the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7. In an exemplary embodiment, the third connection electrode 45 is configured to be connected to an anode formed subsequently.
[0186] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 41 and the data line 42 may be straight lines of equal width, or straight lines of unequal width.
[0187] like Fig.25b As shown, in a plane perpendicular to the substrate, a first insulating layer 91 is arranged on the substrate 10, a semiconductor layer is arranged on the first insulating layer 91, a second insulating layer 92 covers the semiconductor layer, a first conductive layer is arranged on the second insulating layer 92, a third insulating layer 93 covers the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer is arranged on the third insulating layer 93, a fourth insulating layer 94 covers the second conductive layer, and the third conductive layer is arranged on the fourth insulating layer 94, the third conductive layer includes at least a first connecting electrode 43 and a third connecting electrode 45, and the first connecting electrode 43 is connected to the first electrode plate 24 and the first active layer 11 of the first transistor T1 through a first via hole V1 and a sixth via hole V6, respectively.
[0188] (16) Forming a fourth conductive layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the fourth conductive layer pattern may include: depositing a fifth insulating film and a fourth metal film in sequence on the substrate on which the aforementioned pattern is formed, patterning the fourth metal film using a patterning process to form a fifth insulating layer 95 covering the third conductive layer, and a fourth conductive layer pattern disposed on the fifth insulating layer 95, wherein the fourth conductive layer pattern includes at least: a data fan-out line 700 and a fourth connection electrode 52, such as Fig.26a and Fig.16 b, Figure 26b for Fig.26a In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer may be referred to as a second source-drain metal (SD2) layer.
[0189] In an exemplary embodiment, a tenth via hole (not shown) is disposed on the fifth insulating layer 95 , the tenth via hole exposes the surface of the third connection electrode 45 , and the fourth connection electrode 52 is connected to the third connection electrode 45 through the tenth via hole.
[0190] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the data fan-out line 700 on the substrate is located at any one or more of the following: the first power line 41 , the plate connection line 35 , and the initial signal line 31 , within the range of the orthographic projection on the substrate.
[0191] In the disclosed embodiment, by making the data fan-out line 700 overlap with some fixed potential signal lines (the first power line 41, the plate connection line 35 and the initial signal line 31, etc.), it is possible to avoid the potential change on the data fan-out line 700 causing the potential jump of other signal lines in the pixel circuit when the data signal is written, thereby improving the display quality.
[0192] In an exemplary embodiment, if Fig.26a As shown, the orthographic projection of the data fan-out line 700 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the first power line 41 and / or the plate connection line 35 on the substrate.
[0193] Since the plate connection line 35 is connected to the first power line 41, the voltage in the first power line 41 is a constant positive voltage, and the range of the data voltage is usually also a positive voltage. Therefore, the potential difference between the data fan-out line 700 and the first power line 41 (or the plate connection line 35) is small, and when the data signal is written, the load is relatively small, thereby further reducing the signal crosstalk of the data fan-out line to other signal lines.
[0194] (17) Forming a planar layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the planar layer pattern may include: coating a planar film on the substrate formed with the aforementioned pattern, patterning the planar film using a patterning process to form a planar layer covering the third conductive layer, wherein the planar layer is provided with an eleventh via hole V11, such as Fig.27a and Figure 27b As shown, Figure 27b for Fig.27a Sectional view along AA direction.

[0197] (18) Forming an anode pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the anode pattern may include: depositing a transparent conductive film on the substrate on which the aforementioned pattern is formed, patterning the transparent conductive film using a patterning process, and forming an anode 71 disposed on the flat layer, such as Fig.28a and Fig.28b As shown, Fig.28b for Fig.28a The cross-sectional view along the AA direction is shown.
[0198] like Fig.28a As shown, the anode 71 may be hexagonal, and the anode 71 is connected to the fourth connection electrode 52 through the eleventh via hole V11. Since the fourth connection electrode 52 is connected to the third connection electrode 45 through the tenth via hole, the third connection electrode 45 serves as the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7, and thus the anode 71 is connected to the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7, so that the pixel driving circuit can drive the light-emitting device to emit light.
[0199] like Fig.28b As shown, in a plane perpendicular to the substrate, a first insulating layer 91 is arranged on the substrate 10, a semiconductor layer is arranged on the first insulating layer 91, a second insulating layer 92 covers the semiconductor layer, a first conductive layer is arranged on the second insulating layer 92, a third insulating layer 93 covers the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer is arranged on the third insulating layer 93, a fourth insulating layer 94 covers the second conductive layer, the third conductive layer is arranged on the fourth insulating layer 94, a fifth insulating layer 95 covers the third conductive layer, the fourth conductive layer is arranged on the fifth insulating layer 95, a flat layer 96 covers the fourth conductive layer, an anode 71 is arranged on the flat layer 96, and the anode 71 is connected to the fourth connecting electrode 52 through an eleventh via hole.

An organic light-emitting layer is formed by an evaporation or inkjet printing process, and a cathode is formed on the organic light-emitting layer. An encapsulation layer is formed, and the encapsulation layer may include a first encapsulation layer, a second encapsulation layer, and a third encapsulation layer stacked together. The first encapsulation layer and the third encapsulation layer may be made of inorganic materials, and the second encapsulation layer may be made of organic materials. The second encapsulation layer is arranged between the first encapsulation layer and the third encapsulation layer to ensure that external water vapor cannot enter the light-emitting structure layer.
[0201] In an exemplary embodiment, the substrate may be a flexible substrate or a rigid substrate. The rigid substrate may be, but is not limited to, one or more of glass and quartz, and the flexible substrate may be, but is not limited to, one or more of polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyetheretherketone, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyarylate, polyarylate, polyimide, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and textile fiber. In an exemplary embodiment, the flexible substrate may include a first flexible material layer, a first inorganic material layer, a semiconductor layer, a second flexible material layer, and a second inorganic material layer stacked, and the materials of the first flexible material layer and the second flexible material layer may be polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or a surface-treated polymer soft film, and the materials of the first inorganic material layer and the second inorganic material layer may be silicon nitride (SiNx) or silicon oxide (SiOx), etc., to improve the water and oxygen resistance of the substrate, and the material of the semiconductor layer may be amorphous silicon (a-si).
[0202] In an exemplary embodiment, the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, the third conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer can be made of metal materials, such as any one or more of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al) and molybdenum (Mo), or alloy materials of the above metals, such as aluminum neodymium alloy (AlNd) or molybdenum niobium alloy (MoNb), and can be a single layer structure, or a multi-layer composite structure, such as Mo / Cu / Mo, etc. The first insulating layer, the second insulating layer, the third insulating layer, the fourth insulating layer and the fifth insulating layer can be made of any one or more of silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx) and silicon oxynitride (SiON), and can be a single layer, a multi-layer or a composite layer. The first insulating layer is called a buffer layer, which is used to improve the water and oxygen resistance of the substrate. The second insulating layer and the third insulating layer are called gate insulating (GI) layers, and the fourth insulating layer is called an interlayer insulating (ILD) layer. The flat layer can be made of organic materials, and the transparent conductive film can be made of indium tin oxide ITO or indium zinc oxide IZO. The active layer may be made of polycrystalline silicon (p-Si), that is, the present disclosure is applicable to LTPS thin film transistors.
[0203] Although Fig.28b The exemplary embodiment shown is described by taking the example that the data line is set in the third conductive layer and the data fan-out line is set in the fourth conductive layer, but in the present disclosure, the data fan-out line and the data line can be set in any layer, as long as the data line and the data fan-out line are in different conductive layers, and the present disclosure does not make any limitation here.
[0204] 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.
[0205] 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 line through the data fan-out line, which not only realizes the corresponding connection between multiple lead-out lines and multiple data 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 of which are less than 1.0 mm, thereby improving the screen-to-body ratio and facilitating the realization of full-screen display.
[0206] In addition, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, by making the data fan-out line 700 overlap with some fixed potential signal lines (the first power line 41, the plate connection line 35 and the initial signal line 31, etc.), it is possible to avoid the potential change on the data fan-out line 700 causing the potential jump of other signal lines in the pixel circuit when the data signal is written, thereby further improving the display quality.
[0207] Fig.29 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of another display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig.29 As shown, the display area 100 includes a plurality of plate connection lines 35 and initial signal lines 31 , and the plurality of plate connection lines 35 and initial signal lines 31 have a second angle θ2 with the first direction D1 , and the second angle θ2 may be approximately greater than 0° and less than 90°.
[0208] In an exemplary embodiment, the second angle θ2 may be approximately 20° to 70°.
[0209] In this embodiment, by arranging the plate connection line 35 and the initial signal line 31 in an inclined manner, the length of the data fan-out line located above the plate connection line 35 and the initial signal line 31 can be reduced. Fig.29 As shown, since the electrode connection line 35 and the initial signal line 31 are arranged in the same layer as the second gate metal layer, the inclined arrangement of the electrode connection line 35 and the initial signal line 31 does not affect the arrangement of other film layer signal lines (such as scanning signal lines, light-emitting control lines, reset signal lines, first power lines, data lines, etc.).
[0210] 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, and effectively improving display uniformity and display quality. In addition, the present disclosure effectively reduces the length of the data fan-out line located above the plate connection line 35 and the initial signal line 31 by tilting the plate connection line 35 and the initial signal line 31, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of wiring design.
[0211] In this exemplary embodiment, the film layer structures of the data lines, data fan-out lines and lead-out lines may be similar to those of the aforementioned exemplary embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.
[0212] The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a method for preparing a display substrate.

[0213] A plurality of data lines and a plurality of data fan-out lines are formed in the display area, and a plurality of lead-out lines are formed in the lead area; at least one lead-out line is connected to the data line through the data fan-out line; in a plane perpendicular to the display substrate, the display substrate comprises a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a third conductive layer and a fourth conductive layer, and insulating layers are arranged between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, between the second conductive layer and the third conductive layer, and between the third conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer; the data lines and the data fan-out lines are arranged in different conductive layers.
