[0123] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. And without conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0124] Unless otherwise defined, technical terms or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meanings as understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms "first", "second" and similar terms used in this disclosure do not denote any order, quantity or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Words such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the elements or items appearing before this word cover the elements or items listed after this word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or items. Words such as "connected" or "coupled" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
[0125] It should be noted that the sizes and shapes of the figures in the drawings do not reflect the true proportions, and the purpose is only to schematically illustrate the content of this disclosure. Throughout the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions.
[0126] With the development of display technology, the full-screen display, with its large screen-to-body ratio and ultra-narrow bezels, can greatly improve the visual effect of viewers compared with ordinary display screens, and thus has received extensive attention. Generally, in a display device such as a mobile phone that adopts a full-screen display, in order to implement functions such as selfies and calls, a front camera, a receiver, etc. are usually provided on the front of the display device. Generally, a notch area A2 for arranging devices such as a front camera and a receiver is provided in the display panel. However, due to the existence of this notch area A2, it is necessary to wind the scan lines and data lines according to the notch area A2, which results in a coupling effect between the scan lines and the data lines, causing signal interference and affecting the display effect.
[0127] In view of this, embodiments of this disclosure provide a display panel that can reduce the coupling effect between scan lines and data lines, reduce signal interference, and improve the display effect.
[0128] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a substrate 010. The substrate 010 may include a notch area A2, a display area A1, and a first non-display area A3, and the first non-display area A3 is located between the notch area A2 and the display area A1. Among them, the substrate 010 may be a glass substrate, a flexible substrate, a silicon substrate, etc., which is not limited herein. When the display panel is applied to a display device, devices such as a camera and a receiver are generally also provided. Therefore, in order to provide devices such as a camera and a receiver, the notch area A2 may be a hollowed-out area of the substrate 010. For example, in the actual manufacturing process, the position of the substrate 010 corresponding to the notch area A2 is dug into a hollowed-out area by cutting to be used for providing devices such as a camera and a receiver in the display device. Alternatively, the substrate 010 may not be cut, but the circuit on the substrate 010 is avoided to make the position corresponding to the notch area A2 a transparent area to form the notch area A2.
[0129] In practical applications, the display panel generally may also include a border area surrounding the display area A1. Elements such as an electrostatic discharge circuit and a gate driving circuit may be provided in the border area. Of course, the display panel may also not be provided with a border area, which can be designed and determined according to the requirements of the actual application environment and is not limited herein.
[0130] In specific implementation, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, the display area A1 may further include a plurality of pixel units PX arranged in an array.

And by applying a corresponding voltage to the second light-emitting electrode of the light-emitting device 0120, the light-emitting device 0120 can be driven to emit light.

And the drive control circuit 0122 is configured to provide a drive current for driving the light-emitting device 0120 to emit light. For example, the first light-emitting control circuit 0123 is connected to the first terminal of the drive control circuit 0122 and the first voltage terminal VDD. And the drive control circuit 0122 is configured to connect and conduct or disconnect the connection between the drive control circuit 0122 and the first voltage terminal VDD.
[0133] The second light-emitting control circuit 0124 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the drive control circuit 0122 and the first light-emitting electrode of the light-emitting device 0120. And the second light-emitting control circuit 0124 is configured to connect and conduct or disconnect the connection between the drive control circuit 0122 and the light-emitting device 0120.

[0174] In a specific implementation, on the entire display substrate, the first power signal line VDD1 and the second power signal line VDD2 are electrically connected, so that the signal line electrically connected to the first power terminal VDD has a smaller resistance and a lower voltage drop, thereby improving the stability of the power voltage provided by the first power terminal VDD.
[0175] For example, the first scan line GA1, the second scan line GA2, and the light emitting control line EM may be located in the same layer (ie, the third conductive layer 300). The first power signal line VDD1 and the data line VD are located in the same layer (ie, the first conductive layer 100).
[0176] It should be noted that the position arrangement relationship of the transistors in each sub-pixel spx is not limited to Figures 3 to 4e In the example shown, the position of the above transistors can be specifically set according to actual application requirements.
[0177] It should be noted that the first direction F1 may be the row direction of the sub-pixels, and the second direction F2 may be the column direction of the sub-pixels. Alternatively, the first direction F1 may be the column direction of the sub-pixels, and the second direction F2 may be the row direction of the sub-pixels. In practical applications, it can be set according to actual application requirements and is not limited here.
[0178] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the display area may include a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines, and a plurality of light emission control lines. The first non-display area may include a plurality of data transmission lines, a plurality of scan transmission lines, and a plurality of light emission transmission lines: wherein, at least one of the plurality of data lines is electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of data transmission lines, at least one of the plurality of scan lines is electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of scan transmission lines, and at least one of the plurality of light emission control lines is electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of light emission transmission lines.
[0179] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 6 shown, the plurality of data lines in the first conductive layer 100 may include a data line VD1 and a data line VD2. Among them, both the data line VD1 and VD2 are located in the display area A1, and the data line VD1 and VD2 are respectively arranged along the first direction F1. The data line VD1 extends from the lower side of the display area A1 to the upper side of the display area A1 along the second direction F2 and is arranged along the first direction F1. The data line VD2 extends along the second direction F2 and is divided by the notch area A2, that is to say, the data line VD2 may extend from the lower side of the display area A1 to the first non-display area A3, or may extend from the upper side of the display area A1 to the first non-display area A3.
[0180] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 6 to 8a shown, the first conductive layer 100 may further include: a plurality of first data transmission lines 711 arranged at intervals. The second conductive layer 200 may further include: a plurality of first data connection portions 211 arranged at intervals. And the interlayer insulating layer 640 has a plurality of first data through holes. And at least one of the plurality of first data connection portions 211 is electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of data lines VD2 and at least one of the plurality of first data transmission lines 711 through the first data through holes respectively. In this way, the data lines in the first conductive layer 100 and the first data transmission lines 711 can be electrically connected to each other through the first data connection portions 211 in the second conductive layer 200. It should be noted that the data lines VD2 corresponding to the same column of sub-pixels spx and divided by the notch area A2 can be electrically connected to each other through the first data transmission lines 711 to form a data line for inputting data signals to this column of sub-pixels spx.
[0181] The above display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure enables the data line VD2 and the first data transmission line 711 in the first conductive layer 100 to be electrically connected to each other through the first data connection portion 211 in the second conductive layer 200 by disposing the first data connection portion 211 in the second conductive layer 200. In this way, not only can the data lines VD2 corresponding to the same column of sub-pixels spx and separated by the notch area A2 be electrically connected, but also the interference of the first data connection portion 211 on the third conductive layer 300 and the fourth conductive layer 400 can be reduced, thereby improving the signal stability and the display effect.
[0182] Moreover, since there are many bridging portions provided in the first conductive layer 100, if the first data connection portion 211 is also disposed in the first conductive layer 100, the area in the first conductive layer 100 for disposing the bridging portions, the data lines, and the first power signal line will be reduced, which may cause a short circuit among the bridging portions, the data lines, the first power signal line, and the first data connection portion 211. Therefore, the above display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can also reduce the short-circuit risk, further improve the stability of the display panel, and enhance the competitiveness of the display panel.
[0183] In a specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 6 to 8a shown, multiple first data transmission lines 711 are located in the first non-display area A3.

One first data connection portion 211 corresponds to at least one first data via 641-1 and at least one first data via 641-2. Moreover, one end of the first data connection portion 211 may be electrically connected to the data line VD2 through the corresponding first data via 641-1, and the other end of the first data connection portion 211 may be electrically connected to the first data transmission line 711 through the corresponding first data via 641-2. In practical applications, one first data connection portion 211 may correspond to one, two, three, or more first data vias 641-1. Also, one first data connection portion 211 may correspond to one, two, three, or more first data vias 641-2. These can be designed and determined according to the actual application requirements and are not limited herein.
[0184] In a specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 6 to 8aAs shown, a plurality of data lines VD2 may include a plurality of first data lines 121 and a plurality of second data lines 122. Exemplarily, along the first direction F1, the first data lines 121 and the second data lines 122 may be alternately arranged. For example, in the direction indicated by the arrow along the first direction F1, the odd-numbered ones among the plurality of data lines VD2 may be used as the first data lines 121, and the even-numbered ones among the plurality of data lines VD2 may be used as the second data lines 122. Of course, the first data lines 121 and the second data lines 122 may also be designed and determined according to the requirements of the actual application environment, which is not limited herein.
[0185] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 6 to 8a shown, one first data line 121 may be electrically connected to one first data transmission line 711 through a first data connection portion 211. Exemplarily, one first data line 121 may correspond to one first data connection portion 211 and one first data transmission line 711. And, the first data line 121 may be electrically connected to the corresponding first data transmission line 711 through the corresponding first data connection portion 211, so that the first data lines 121 corresponding to the same column of sub-pixels spx and separated by the notch region A2 can be electrically connected to the first data transmission line 711 through the corresponding first data connection portions 211.
[0186] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 6 to 8a shown, the second conductive layer 200 may further include: a plurality of second data transmission lines 712 spaced apart from the first data connection portions 211; the interlayer insulating layer 640 may further include: a plurality of second data through holes 642. One second data line 122 is electrically connected to one second data transmission line 712 through the second data through hole 642. Exemplarily, one second data line 122 may correspond to one second data transmission line 712, and one second data transmission line 712 may correspond to at least one second data through hole 642, so that the second data line 122 can be electrically connected to the corresponding second data transmission line through the corresponding second data through hole 642. In actual application, one second data transmission line 712 may correspond to one, two, three or more second data through holes 642. These can be designed and determined according to the requirements of the actual application, which is not limited herein.
[0187] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 6 to 7b shown, the plurality of second data transmission lines 712 are located in the first non-display area A3. Exemplarily, the plurality of second data transmission lines 712 may be arranged in an arc around the notch region A2. Further, the orthographic projection of the second data transmission line 712 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the first data transmission line 711 on the substrate 010 may be spaced apart. Exemplarily, as Figures 6 to 7bAs shown, the orthographic projection of the first data transmission line 711 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the second data transmission line 712 on the substrate 010 can be alternately arranged. Since the first data transmission line 711 and the second data transmission line 712 are located in different planes, the distance between the first data transmission line 711 and the second data transmission line 712 can be increased, further reducing the signal interference between the first data transmission line 711 and the second data transmission line 712.
[0188] Exemplarily, in order to reduce the occupied area, the orthographic projection of one second data transmission line 712 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of one first data transmission line 711 on the substrate 010 can have an overlapping area. Further, the orthographic projection of one second data transmission line 712 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of one first data transmission line 711 on the substrate 010 can be partially overlapped, so that the occupied area of the first data transmission line 711 and the second data transmission line 712 can be reduced to the greatest extent, and then the occupied area of the first non-display area A3 can be reduced.

And, the second scan line GA2 corresponding to the (q - 1)-th row of sub-pixels G(q - 1) in every two adjacent rows of sub-pixels spx is electrically connected to the first scan line GA1 corresponding to the q-th row of sub-pixels G(q). For example, Figure 7a With Figure 7b showing four rows of sub-pixels spx arranged along the second direction F2, along the direction opposite to the arrow of the second direction F2, there can be the (q - 1)-th row of sub-pixels G(q - 1), the q-th row of sub-pixels G(q), the (q + 1)-th row of sub-pixels G(q + 1), and the (q + 2)-th row of sub-pixels G(q + 2).

This can make the first data connection portion 211 and the first scan connection portion 131 be spaced apart, reducing the risk of short circuit.
[0193] In a specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 6 to 8a shown, for the first scan line GA1, the second scan line GA2, and the first data connection portion 211 corresponding to the same row sub-pixel spx, the orthographic projection of the first data connection portion 211 on the substrate 010 is located between the orthographic projection of the first scan through hole 811 corresponding to the first scan line GA1 and the orthographic projection of the second scan through hole 812 corresponding to the second scan line GA2 on the substrate 010. Exemplarily, for the first scan line GA1, the second scan line GA2, and the first data connection portion 211 corresponding to the same row sub-pixel spx, the line connecting the centers of the orthographic projections of the first scan through hole 811 corresponding to the first scan line GA1 and the orthographic projection of the second scan through hole 812 corresponding to the second scan line GA2 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first data connection portion 211 on the substrate 010.
[0194] It should be noted that the center of the above orthographic projection can be the geometric center of the orthographic projection. However, in actual manufacturing processes, the shapes of the above-described structures generally have certain deviations from the regular shapes designed above. In addition, the shapes of the above-described structures actually manufactured may also have other variations from the designed shapes. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the center of the above orthographic projection can have a certain offset from the geometric center of the above orthographic projection.
[0195] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 6 to 8a shown, the second conductive layer 200 may further include: a plurality of second data connection portions 212; wherein, one second data transmission line 712 is directly electrically connected to at least one second data connection portion 212, and the second data connection portion 212 is electrically connected to one second data line 122 through a second data through hole 642.

Since the first data line 121 and the second data line 122 are alternately arranged in the first direction F1, by alternately arranging the projections of the first data connection portion 211 and the second data connection portion 212 on a straight line extending in the first direction F1, the first data connection portion 211 electrically connected to the first data line 121 and the second data connection portion 212 electrically connected to the second data line 122 can be correspondingly arranged, thereby reducing signal interference.

Except for the first scan lines GA1 and the second scan lines GA2 that are electrically connected to each other in the above-mentioned part, the remaining first scan lines GA1 and the second scan lines GA2 that are electrically connected to each other correspond to a second scan transmission line 411, and the first scan connection part 131 corresponding to the remaining first scan lines GA1 that are electrically connected to each other is also electrically connected to the second scan transmission line 411 through the third scan vias 813.

Exemplarily, one second scan transmission line 411 may correspond to one, two, three or more third scan vias 813. These can be determined according to the requirements of actual applications and are not limited herein.
[0204] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 7a to 8a shown, except for the above-mentioned part of the light-emitting control lines that are electrically connected to each other, the remaining light-emitting control lines that are electrically connected to each other correspond to a second light-emitting transmission line 421, and the first light-emitting connection part 141 is also electrically connected to the second light-emitting transmission line 421 through the third light-emitting vias 823.

[0205] Moreover, by disposing the first scan transmission line 311, the second scan transmission line 411, the first light-emitting transmission line 321, and the second light-emitting transmission line 421 in the first non-display area A3. And disposing the first scan transmission line 311 and the first light-emitting transmission line 321 in the third conductive layer 300, and disposing the second scan transmission line 411 and the second light-emitting transmission line 421 in the fourth conductive layer 400, the signal interference of the first scan transmission line 311, the second scan transmission line 411, the first light-emitting transmission line 321, and the second light-emitting transmission line 421 can be reduced.

[0208] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 7a to 8a shown, all row sub-pixels spx may also include second type row sub-pixels spx; the second type row sub-pixels spx are different from the first type row sub-pixels spx. And at least one row sub-pixel spx in the second type row sub-pixels spx corresponds to at least one second data connection part 212.

Exemplarily, each row sub-pixel spx in the second type row sub-pixels spx corresponds to one second data connection part 212. It should be noted that the second type row sub-pixels spx may be part of the rows in the display panel, and its specific position can be designed and determined according to the requirements of the actual application environment, which is not limited herein. Exemplarily, the second type row sub-pixels spx may include Figure 7b the first row sub-pixel and the third row sub-pixel in
[0209] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 7a to 8aAs shown, for the first scan line GA1, the second scan line GA2, and the second data connection portion 212 corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels spx, the orthographic projection of the second data connection portion 212 on the substrate 010 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first scan connection portion 131 corresponding to the first scan line GA1 and the orthographic projection of the first scan connection portion 131 corresponding to the second scan line GA2 on the substrate 010. This can enable the second data connection portion 212 and the first scan connection portion 131 to be arranged at intervals, reducing the risk of short circuit.
[0210] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 7a to 8a shown, for the first scan line GA1, the second scan line GA2, and the second data connection portion 212 corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels spx, the orthographic projection of the second data connection portion 212 on the substrate 010 is located between the orthographic projection of the first scan through hole 811 corresponding to the first scan line GA1 and the orthographic projection of the second scan through hole 812 corresponding to the second scan line GA2 on the substrate 010. Exemplarily, for the first scan line GA1, the second scan line GA2, and the second data connection portion 212 corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels spx, the connection line between the center of the orthographic projection of the second scan through hole 812 corresponding to the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010 and the center of the orthographic projection of the second scan through hole 812 corresponding to the second scan line GA2 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second data connection portion 212 on the substrate 010.
[0211] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 7a to 8a shown, the orthographic projection of the second data connection portion 212 on the substrate 010 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting connection portion 141 on the substrate 010, the orthographic projection of the first scan connection portion 131 on the substrate 010, the orthographic projection of the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010, and the orthographic projection of the second scan line GA2 on the substrate 010.
[0212] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 7a to 8a shown, for the light-emitting control line EM, the second scan line GA2, and the second data connection portion 212 corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels spx, the orthographic projection of the second data connection portion 212 on the substrate 010 is located between the orthographic projection of the second scan through hole 812 corresponding to the second scan line GA2 and the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting through hole 821 corresponding to the light-emitting control line on the substrate 010.
[0213] In practical applications, the transistors in sub-pixel spx generally need to be electrically connected, and the electrical connection of these transistors is related to their transistor characteristics. Therefore, if the electrical connection of the transistors is uniform, the characteristics of the transistors can be made uniform. Generally, a wet etching method is used to prepare a through-hole for electrical connection through an etching solution. However, when etching the through-hole of the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1, the through-hole outside the edge of the display area A1 does not need to be etched, resulting in different etching degrees of the through-hole of the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1 and the through-hole of the sub-pixel spx inside the display area A1, and thus causing non-uniform characteristics of the transistors in the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1 and the transistors in the internal sub-pixel spx. To improve the uniformity of transistor characteristics, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the display panel has a target insulating layer located between the first conductive layer and the substrate, and a functional layer located between the target insulating layer and the substrate. At least one of the multiple sub-pixels may include: a connection through-hole; wherein the connection through-hole penetrates the target insulating layer, and the first conductive layer is electrically connected to the functional layer through the connection through-hole. And the first non-display area includes at least one auxiliary through-hole: wherein the auxiliary through-hole penetrates the target insulating layer and the auxiliary through-hole is not filled with a conductive material. And in the first non-display area, at least two of the multiple data transmission lines, multiple scan transmission lines, and multiple light-emitting transmission lines surround to form an auxiliary area, and the auxiliary through-hole is located within the auxiliary area. Further, exemplarily, the distance between two adjacent auxiliary through-holes may also be less than or approximately equal to the distance between two adjacent connection through-holes.
[0214] In practical applications, the first connection through-hole is used to realize the electrical connection of the transistors in sub-pixel spx. The electrical connection of these transistors is related to their transistor characteristics. Therefore, if the electrical connection of the transistors is uniform, the characteristics of the transistors can be made uniform. Generally, a wet etching method is used to prepare the first connection through-hole through an etching solution. However, when etching the first connection through-hole of the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1, the first connection through-hole outside the edge of the display area A1 does not need to be etched, resulting in different etching degrees of the first connection through-hole of the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1 and the first connection through-hole of the sub-pixel spx inside the display area A1, and thus causing non-uniform characteristics of the transistors in the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1 and the transistors in the internal sub-pixel spx. To improve the uniformity of transistor characteristics, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the functional layer may include a semiconductor layer; the target insulating layer may include: a first gate insulating layer, a second gate insulating layer, and an interlayer dielectric layer; the connection through-hole may include a first connection through-hole; the auxiliary through-hole may include a first auxiliary through-hole, and the first auxiliary through-hole penetrates the first gate insulating layer, the second gate insulating layer, and the interlayer dielectric layer. Exemplarily, such as Figures 7a to 8cAs shown, the display panel may further include at least one first auxiliary through hole 911 located in the first non-display area A3. Among them, the first auxiliary through hole 911 penetrates through the first gate insulating layer 610, the second gate insulating layer 620, and the interlayer dielectric layer 630, and the first auxiliary through hole 911 is not filled with a conductive material. Moreover, in the first non-display area A3, at least two types of transmission lines among multiple data transmission lines, multiple scan transmission lines, and multiple light-emitting transmission lines may surround to form an auxiliary area FB, and the first auxiliary through hole 911 may be located within the auxiliary area FB. In this way, the first auxiliary through hole 911 can be provided outside the edge of the display area A1, that is, in the first non-display area A3, and the first auxiliary through hole 911 has the same insulating layer as that penetrated by the first connection through hole. Thus, the first auxiliary through hole 911 is etched in the first non-display area A3, and further, the etching effects of the first connection through holes etched in the display edge sub-pixels spx and the internal sub-pixels spx can be made uniform, improving the uniformity of the characteristics of the transistors.
[0215] In specific implementation, an insulating material may be filled in the first auxiliary through hole 911. For example, the material of the interlayer insulating layer 640 may be filled in the first auxiliary through hole 911. In this way, when preparing the interlayer insulating layer 640, the first auxiliary through hole 911 can be directly filled, thereby improving the flatness of the interlayer insulating layer 640.
[0216] In specific implementation, which specific transmission lines are used to surround and form the auxiliary area FB can be designed and determined according to actual application requirements, and no limitation is made here.
[0217] It should be noted that since the semiconductor layer in the first non-display area A3 is not etched away when patterning the semiconductor layer, the semiconductor layer remains in the first non-display area A3, as Figure 8b shown Figure 8c As shown. This makes the depth of the first auxiliary through hole 911 in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate substantially the same as the depth of the first connection through hole in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. In this way, the etching liquid can etch the first auxiliary through hole 911 and the first connection through hole to a substantially the same extent, further improving the uniformity of the characteristics of the transistors.
[0218] Exemplarily, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, multiple first auxiliary through holes 911 may be provided in the first non-display area A3. For example, the distribution density of the first auxiliary through holes 911 may be made substantially equal to the distribution density of the first connection through holes. In this way, the etching effects of the first connection through holes etched in the display edge sub-pixels spx and the internal sub-pixels spx can be made uniform, improving the uniformity of the characteristics of the transistors.
[0219] Exemplarily, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the distribution density of the first auxiliary vias 911 can also be made smaller than that of the first connection vias. Since other traces or connection parts are also provided in the first non-display area A3, reducing the distribution density of the first auxiliary vias 911 can reduce the occupied area of the entire set of first auxiliary vias 911, and reduce the occupied area of the first non-display area A3. Moreover, by providing the first auxiliary vias 911, the etching effects of the first connection vias etched in the display edge sub-pixels spx and the first connection vias etched in the internal sub-pixels spx can be made uniform, improving the uniformity of the transistor characteristics.
[0220] It should be noted that the distribution density of the first auxiliary vias 911 can be the number of the first auxiliary vias 911 per unit area. The distribution density of the first connection vias can be the number of the first connection vias per unit area. In practical applications, the distribution densities of the first auxiliary vias 911 and the first connection vias can be designed and determined according to the requirements of the actual application environment, and are not limited herein.
[0221] Exemplarily, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the distance between two adjacent first auxiliary vias can be made approximately equal to the distance between two adjacent first connection vias. In this way, there is no need to design the distance between the first auxiliary vias additionally, and the distance between the first connection vias can be used for design. Of course, the distance between two adjacent first auxiliary vias can also be made smaller than the distance between two adjacent first connection vias. In this way, the first auxiliary vias can be arranged more compactly, reducing the occupied area of the first non-display area.
[0222] Exemplarily, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 7a to 8c shown, the orthographic projection of the first auxiliary vias 911 on the substrate 010 does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the semiconductor layer, the first conductive layer 100, the third conductive layer 300, and the fourth conductive layer 400 on the substrate 010. In this way, the influence on the conductive layer and the semiconductor layer during the etching of the first auxiliary vias 911 can be reduced.
[0223] In practical applications, the second connection via is also used to implement the electrical connection of the transistors in the sub-pixel spx. The electrical connection of these transistors is related to their transistor characteristics. Therefore, if the electrical connection of the transistors is uniform, the characteristics of the transistors can be made uniform. Generally, a wet etching method is used to prepare the second connection via with an etching solution. However, when etching the second connection via of the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1, the second connection via does not need to be etched outside the edge of the display area A1, resulting in different etching degrees of the second connection via of the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1 and the second connection via of the sub-pixel spx inside the display area A1. This leads to non-uniform characteristics of the transistors in the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1 and the transistors in the internal sub-pixel spx. To improve the uniformity of the transistor characteristics, in a specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the functional layer includes a third conductive layer; the target insulating layer includes: a second gate insulating layer and an interlayer dielectric layer; the connection via includes a second connection via; the auxiliary via includes a second auxiliary via, and the second auxiliary via penetrates through the second gate insulating layer and the interlayer dielectric layer. Exemplarily, as Figure 7b and Figure 8c shown, the display panel may further include at least one second auxiliary via 912 located in the first non-display area A3; wherein, the second auxiliary via 912 penetrates through the second gate insulating layer 620 and the interlayer dielectric layer 630, and the second auxiliary via 912 is not filled with a conductive material. Also, the second auxiliary via 912 may also be located within the auxiliary area FB. In a specific implementation, an insulating material may be filled in the second auxiliary via 912. For example, the material of the interlayer insulating layer 640 may be filled in the second auxiliary via 912. This can directly fill the second auxiliary via 912 when preparing the interlayer insulating layer 640, thereby improving the flatness of the interlayer insulating layer 640.
[0224] Exemplarily, in a specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of second auxiliary vias 912 may be provided in the first non-display area A3. For example, the distribution density of the second auxiliary vias 912 may be made approximately equal to the distribution density of the second connection vias. This can make the etching effects of the second connection vias etched in the sub-pixel spx at the display edge and the second connection vias etched in the internal sub-pixel spx uniform, and improve the uniformity of the transistor characteristics.
[0225] Exemplarily, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the distribution density of the second auxiliary vias 912 can also be made less than that of the second connection vias. Since other traces or connection portions are also provided in the first non-display area A3, reducing the distribution density of the second auxiliary vias 912 can reduce the occupied area of the entire set of second auxiliary vias 912 and thus reduce the occupied area of the first non-display area A3. Moreover, by providing the second auxiliary vias 912, the etching effect of the second connection vias etched in the display edge sub-pixels spx can be made uniform with that of the first connection vias etched in the internal sub-pixels spx, improving the uniformity of the transistor characteristics.
[0226] It should be noted that the distribution density of the second auxiliary vias 912 can be the number of second auxiliary vias 912 per unit area. The distribution density of the second connection vias can be the number of second connection vias per unit area. In practical applications, the distribution densities of the second auxiliary vias 912 and the second connection vias can be designed and determined according to the requirements of the actual application environment, and are not limited herein.
[0227] It should be noted that since the third conductive layer 300 in the first non-display area A3 is etched away when patterning the third conductive layer 300, there will be no third conductive layer 300 remaining in the first non-display area A3, as Figure 8c shown. This makes the depth of the second auxiliary vias 912 in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate be greater than the depth of the second connection vias in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate.
[0228] Exemplarily, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the distance between two adjacent second auxiliary vias can be made approximately equal to the distance between two adjacent second connection vias. In this way, there is no need to design the distance between the second auxiliary vias additionally, and the distance between the second connection vias can be used for design. Of course, the distance between two adjacent second auxiliary vias can also be made less than the distance between two adjacent second connection vias. In this way, the second auxiliary vias can be arranged more compactly, reducing the occupied area of the second non-display area.
[0229] Exemplarily, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 7b shown, the orthographic projection of the second auxiliary vias 912 on the substrate 010 does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the first conductive layer 100, the third conductive layer 300, and the fourth conductive layer 400 on the substrate 010. This can reduce the influence on the conductive layer and the semiconductor layer when etching the second auxiliary vias 912.
[0230] In practical applications, the third connection via is also used to implement the electrical connection of transistors in the sub-pixel spx. The electrical connection of these transistors is related to their transistor characteristics. Therefore, if the electrical connection of the transistors is uniform, the characteristics of the transistors can be made uniform. Generally, a wet etching method is used to prepare the third connection via with an etching solution. However, when etching the third connection via of the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1, the third connection via outside the edge of the display area A1 does not need to be etched, resulting in different etching degrees of the third connection via of the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1 and the third connection via of the sub-pixel spx inside the display area A1. This leads to non-uniform characteristics of the transistors in the sub-pixel spx at the edge of the display area A1 and the transistors in the internal sub-pixel spx. To improve the uniformity of transistor characteristics, in a specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the functional layer includes a fourth conductive layer; the target insulating layer includes: an interlayer dielectric layer; the connection via includes a third connection via; the auxiliary via includes a third auxiliary via, and the third auxiliary via penetrates the interlayer dielectric layer. Exemplarily, as Figure 7b as Figure 8c shown, the display panel may further include at least one third auxiliary via 913 located in the first non-display area A3; the third auxiliary via 913 penetrates the interlayer dielectric layer 630, and the third auxiliary via 913 is not filled with a conductive material. Also, the third auxiliary via 913 may also be located within the auxiliary area FB. In a specific implementation, an insulating material may be filled in the third auxiliary via 913. For example, the material of the interlayer insulating layer 640 may be filled in the third auxiliary via 913. This can directly fill the third auxiliary via 913 when preparing the interlayer insulating layer 640, thereby improving the flatness of the interlayer insulating layer 640.
[0231] Exemplarily, in a specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of third auxiliary vias 913 may be provided in the first non-display area A3. For example, the distribution density of the third auxiliary vias 913 may be made substantially equal to the distribution density of the third connection vias. This can make the etching effects of the etched third connection vias in the sub-pixels spx at the display edge and the etched third connection vias in the internal sub-pixels spx uniform, improving the uniformity of transistor characteristics.
[0232] Exemplarily, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the distribution density of the third auxiliary vias 913 may also be made less than the distribution density of the third connection vias. Since other traces or connection portions are also provided in the first non-display area A3, reducing the distribution density of the third auxiliary vias 913 can reduce the occupied area of the entire set of the third auxiliary vias 913 and reduce the occupied area of the first non-display area A3. Moreover, by providing the third auxiliary vias 913, the etching effects of the third connection vias etched in the display edge sub-pixels spx and the first connection vias etched in the internal sub-pixels spx can be made uniform, improving the uniformity of the transistor characteristics.
[0233] It should be noted that the distribution density of the third auxiliary vias 913 may be the number of the third auxiliary vias 913 per unit area. The distribution density of the third connection vias may be the number of the third connection vias per unit area. In practical applications, the distribution densities of the third auxiliary vias 913 and the third connection vias may be designed and determined according to the requirements of the actual application environment, and are not limited herein.
[0234] It should be noted that since the fourth conductive layer 400 in the first non-display area A3 is etched away when patterning the fourth conductive layer 400, there will be no fourth conductive layer 400 remaining in the first non-display area A3, as Figure 8c shown. This makes the depth of the third auxiliary vias 913 in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate base greater than the depth of the third connection vias in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate base.
[0235] Exemplarily, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the distance between two adjacent third auxiliary vias may be made approximately equal to the distance between two adjacent third connection vias. In this way, there is no need to design the distance between the third auxiliary vias additionally, and the distance between the third connection vias can be used for design. Of course, the distance between two adjacent third auxiliary vias may also be made less than the distance between two adjacent third connection vias. In this way, the third auxiliary vias can be arranged more compactly, reducing the occupied area of the first non-display area.
[0236] Exemplarily, in specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 7b shown, the orthographic projection of the third auxiliary vias 913 on the substrate base 010 does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the first conductive layer 100 and the fourth conductive layer 400 on the substrate base 010. This can reduce the influence on the conductive layer and the semiconductor layer when etching the third auxiliary vias 913.
[0237] It should be noted that Figure 8aAs shown, GA1-G(q) represents the first scan line corresponding to the sub-pixels in the q-th row. GA2-G(q) represents the second scan line corresponding to the sub-pixels in the q-th row. GA1-G(q+1) represents the first scan line corresponding to the sub-pixels in the (q+1)-th row. EM-G(q) represents the emission control line corresponding to the sub-pixels in the q-th row. EM-G(q+1) represents the emission control line corresponding to the sub-pixels in the (q+1)-th row. The same applies hereinafter and will not be elaborated further.
[0238] It should be noted that due to process conditions or other factors, the same or equal in the above-mentioned features may not be exactly the same or equal, and there may be some deviations. Therefore, as long as the same or equal relationship between the above-mentioned features generally meets the above conditions, it belongs to the protection scope of the present disclosure. For example, the above-mentioned sameness can be the sameness allowed within the error tolerance range.
[0239] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide some other display panels, such as Figures 9a to 10c As shown, it is a deformation of some implementation manners in the above-mentioned embodiments. Only the differences between this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiments will be described below, and the same parts will not be elaborated here.
[0240] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figures 9a to 10a As shown, for the first scan line GA1 corresponding to the sub-pixels spx in the same row, the first data connection portion 211, the first data line 121 and the first data transmission line 711 electrically connected by using the first data connection portion 211, the orthographic projection of the first data connection portion 211 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010 have an overlapping area, and the orthographic projections of the first data line 121 and the first data transmission line 711 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010 do not overlap. This can avoid forming a facing area between the first scan line GA1 and the first data line 121. And, since the first data connection portion 211 is located in the second conductive layer 200, the distance between the first scan line GA1 and the first data connection portion 211 can be made larger, so that the coupling capacitance between the first scan line GA1 and the first data connection portion 211 is reduced less, thereby reducing signal interference and improving the display effect.
[0241] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figures 9a to 10aAs shown, for the first scan line GA1 and the first data connection portion 211 corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels spx, the orthographic projection of the edge region of the first data connection portion 211 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010 have an overlapping region. Alternatively, for the first scan line GA1 and the first data connection portion 211 corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels spx, the orthographic projection of the central region of the first data connection portion 211 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010 have an overlapping region.
[0242] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figures 9a to 10a shown, some of the row sub-pixels spx in the first type of row sub-pixels spx correspond to two first data connection portions. For example, Figure 9a and Figure 9b the (q + 2)-th row sub-pixel G(q + 2) in may correspond to two first data connection portions: 211a and 211b. Among them, for the first scan line GA1, the second scan line GA2, and the two first data connection portions corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels spx, it is possible to make the orthographic projections of these two first data connection portions 211a and 211b on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010 have an overlapping region, and make the orthographic projections of these two first data connection portions 211a and 211b on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the second scan line GA2 on the substrate 010 non-overlapping.
[0243] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figures 9a to 10a shown, for the first scan line GA1, the second scan line GA2, and the two first data connection portions a and 211b corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels spx, among them, the orthographic projection of the first of these two first data connection portions 211a on the substrate 010 is close to the orthographic projection of the first scan through hole 811 corresponding to the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010. Exemplarily, compared with the second first data connection portion 211b of these two first data connection portions, the first first data connection portion 211a can make the orthographic projection of the first first data connection portion 211a on the substrate 010 close to the orthographic projection of the first scan through hole 811 corresponding to the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010.
[0244] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figures 9a to 10aAs shown, for the first scan line GA1, the second scan line GA2, and the two first data connection parts corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels spx, the second first data connection part 211b of the two first data connection parts is close to the positive projection of the second scan through hole 812 corresponding to the second scan line GA2 on the substrate 010. Exemplarily, compared with the first first data connection part 211a, the second first data connection part 211b of the two first data connection parts can make the positive projection of the second first data connection part 211b on the substrate 010 close to the positive projection of the second scan through hole 812 corresponding to the second scan line GA2 on the substrate 010.
[0245] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figures 9a to 10a shown, for the first scan line GA1 corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels spx, the second data connection part 212, and the second data line 122 and the second data transmission line 712 electrically connected by the second data connection part 212, the positive projection of the second data connection part 212 on the substrate 010 and the positive projection of the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010 have an overlapping area, and the positive projections of the second data line 122 and the second data transmission line 712 on the substrate 010 and the positive projection of the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010 do not overlap.
[0246] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figures 9a to 10a shown, for a row of sub-pixels corresponding to two first data connection parts, the row of sub-pixels also corresponds to a second data connection part 212. For the first scan line GA1 corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels, the second data connection part 212, and the second data line 122 and the second data transmission line 712 electrically connected by the second data connection part 212, the positive projection of the second data connection part 212 on the substrate 010 and the positive projection of the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010 have an overlapping area, and the positive projections of the second data line 122 and the second data transmission line 712 on the substrate 010 and the positive projection of the first scan line GA1 on the substrate 010 do not overlap.
[0247] It should be noted that, as Figure 10b shown in Figure 10c the display panel is also provided with a first auxiliary through hole 911, a second auxiliary through hole 912, and a third auxiliary through hole 913. Moreover, the setting manners of the first auxiliary through hole 911, the second auxiliary through hole 912, and the third auxiliary through hole 913 can refer to the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.
[0248] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide some other display panels, such as Figure 11 shown in Figure 12As shown, it is a modification of some of the embodiments in the above embodiments. Only the differences between this embodiment and the above embodiments will be described below, and the same parts will not be elaborated here.
[0249] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, the fourth conductive layer 400 may further include a plurality of third scan transmission lines 413 located in the first non-display area A3. And, the interlayer dielectric layer 630 may further include a plurality of fourth scan vias 814; the first scan line GA1 and the second scan line GA2 that are electrically connected to each other correspond to one third scan transmission line 413, and the first scan connection portion 131 is also electrically connected to the third scan transmission line 413 through the fourth scan via 814. The third conductive layer 300 may further include a third light-emitting transmission line 423 located in the first non-display area A3; among them, the light-emitting control lines that are electrically connected to each other are directly electrically connected to one third light-emitting transmission line 423. In this way, the third light-emitting transmission line 423 can be provided in the third conductive layer 300, and the third scan transmission line 413 can be provided in the fourth conductive layer 400.
[0250] Exemplarily, in order to reduce signal interference, the orthographic projection of the third scan transmission line 413 on the substrate 010 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting transmission line 423 on the substrate 010. Further, the orthographic projection of the third scan transmission line 413 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting transmission line 423 on the substrate 010 are spaced apart.
[0251] Further, in order to reduce signal interference, the orthographic projection of the third scan transmission line 413 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the second data transmission line 712 on the substrate 010 may have an overlapping area. Further, the orthographic projection of the third scan transmission line 413 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the second data transmission line 712 on the substrate 010 may partially overlap. Since the third scan transmission layer is located in the fourth conductive layer 400 and the second data transmission line 712 is located in the second conductive layer 200, this can not only reduce the coupling capacitance between the third scan transmission line 413 and the second data transmission line 712, but also reduce the occupied area of the first non-display area A3.
[0252] Further, in order to reduce signal interference, the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting transmission line 423 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the first data transmission line 711 on the substrate 010 may have an overlapping area. Further, the orthographic projection of the third light-emitting transmission line 423 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the first data transmission line 711 on the substrate 010 may partially overlap. Since the third light-emitting transmission line 423 is located in the third conductive layer 300 and the first data transmission line 711 is located in the first conductive layer 100, this can not only reduce the coupling capacitance between the third light-emitting transmission layer and the first data transmission line 711, but also reduce the occupied area of the first non-display area A3.
[0253] It should be noted that the setting manners of the first auxiliary through hole 911, the second auxiliary through hole 912, and the third auxiliary through hole 913 can be referred to the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated herein.
[0254] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide some display panels, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, some of the embodiments in the above embodiments are deformed. Only the differences between this embodiment and the above embodiments will be described below, and the same parts will not be elaborated herein.
[0255] In specific implementation, in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the fourth conductive layer 400 may further include a plurality of fourth light-emitting transmission lines 424 located in the first non-display area A3; the interlayer dielectric layer 630 may further include a plurality of fourth light-emitting through holes 824; a mutually electrically connected light control line EM corresponds to one fourth light-emitting transmission line 424. And, the first light-emitting connection portion 141 is also electrically connected to the fourth light-emitting transmission line 424 through the fourth light-emitting through hole 824; the third conductive layer 300 may further include a fourth scan transmission line 414 located in the first non-display area A3; wherein, the mutually electrically connected first scan line GA1 and the second scan line GA2 are directly electrically connected to one fourth scan transmission line 414. In this way, the fourth scan transmission line 414 can be provided in the third conductive layer 300, and the fourth light-emitting transmission line 424 can be provided in the fourth conductive layer 400.
[0256] Exemplarily, in order to reduce signal interference, as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the orthographic projection of the fourth scan transmission line 414 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the fourth light-emitting transmission line 424 on the substrate 010 may not overlap. Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the fourth scan transmission line 414 on the substrate 010 and the orthographic projection of the fourth light-emitting transmission line 424 on the substrate 010 may be arranged at intervals.
[0257] Further, in order to reduce signal interference, the orthographic projection of the fourth scan transmission line 414 on the substrate 010 may have an overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the first data transmission line 711 on the substrate 010. Further, the orthographic projection of the fourth scan transmission line 414 on the substrate 010 may partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first data transmission line 711 on the substrate 010. Since the fourth scan transmission layer is located in the third conductive layer 300 and the first data transmission line 711 is located in the first conductive layer 100, this can not only reduce the coupling capacitance between the fourth scan transmission layer and the first data transmission line 711, but also reduce the occupied area of the first non-display area A3.
[0258] Further, in order to reduce signal interference, the orthographic projection of the fourth light-emitting transmission line 424 on the substrate 010 may have an overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the second data transmission line 712 on the substrate 010. Further, the orthographic projection of the fourth light-emitting transmission line 424 on the substrate 010 may partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the second data transmission line 712 on the substrate 010. Since the fourth light-emitting transmission line 424 is located in the fourth conductive layer 400 and the second data transmission line 712 is located in the second conductive layer 200, this can not only increase the coupling capacitance between the fourth light-emitting transmission layer and the second data transmission line 712, but also reduce the occupied area of the first non-display area A3.
[0259] It should be noted that the setting manners of the first auxiliary via 911, the second auxiliary via 912, and the third auxiliary via 913 can be referred to the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.
[0260] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a display device, including the above-mentioned display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The principle of the display device for solving problems is similar to that of the foregoing display panel. Therefore, the implementation of the display device can refer to the implementation of the foregoing display panel, and the repeated parts will not be elaborated here.

Other essential components of the display device should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be elaborated here, nor should it be regarded as a limitation to the present disclosure.
[0262] The display panel and the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can electrically connect the data lines and the first data transmission lines in the first conductive layer to each other through the first data connection part in the second conductive layer by arranging the first data connection part in the second conductive layer. In this way, not only can the data lines corresponding to the same column of sub-pixels and separated by the notch be electrically connected, but also the interference of the first data connection part on the third conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer can be reduced, thereby improving the signal stability and the display effect.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be construed as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present disclosure.
