[0049] When the pixel driving circuit 11 is working, Figure 2and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the working timing of a pixel driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The working process of the pixel driving circuit includes a reset phase t1, a charging phase t2 and a light emitting phase t3.
[0050] In the reset phase t1 , the first scan line S1 controls the fifth transistor T5 and the seventh transistor T7 to be turned on, and the reference voltage provided by the reference voltage signal line Vref resets the first node N1 and the fourth node N4 through the fifth transistor T5 and the seventh transistor T7 .
[0051] In the charging phase t2, the second scan line S2 controls the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 to be turned on, and the data voltage V provided by the data line Data is data The second node N2 is written through the second transistor T2. At this stage, the third transistor T3 is turned on. The potential of the first node N1 changes continuously until the potential of the first node N1 reaches V N1 Change to V N1 =V data -|V th |, V data is the data voltage provided by the data line Data, V th is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3.
[0052] In the light-emitting stage t3, the first transistor T1, the sixth transistor T6 and the third transistor T3 are turned on. Under the action of the first power supply voltage provided by the first power supply voltage line PVDD and the second power supply voltage provided by the second power supply voltage line PVEE, the current path between the first power supply voltage line PVDD and the second power supply voltage line PVEE is turned on, and the light-emitting element 12 electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit 11 is lit.
[0053] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first scan line S1, the second scan line S2, and the light-emission control signal line E all extend along the first direction h1, and multiple first scan lines S1, second scan lines S2, and light-emission control signal lines E are arranged along the second direction h2.

[0054] Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, the first power supply voltage, the second power supply voltage and the reference voltage required for the operation of the different pixel driving circuits 11 can be the same. That is, the first power supply voltage transmitted by the first power supply voltage line PVDD, the second power supply voltage transmitted by the second power supply voltage line PVEE and the reference voltage transmitted by the reference voltage signal line Vref can be common signals shared by the plurality of pixel driving circuits 11.
[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, at least one of the first scan line S1, the second scan line S2, the light-emitting control signal line E and the data line Data includes the first wiring. Figure 1 An example in which the data line Data includes the first wiring 21.
[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the first wiring 21 includes the first wiring of the first type and / or the first wiring of the second type. As shown in Figure 1 An example in which the first wiring of the first type 211 and the first wiring of the second type 212 are arranged in the display area AA. The first wiring of the first type 211 includes the first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112 arranged at intervals. The arrangement at intervals means that there is a gap G between the first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112. That is, the first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112 are disconnected at the interval position, and the signal of one of the first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112 cannot be transmitted to the other at the interval position. Exemplarily, the first wiring of the first type 211 can be an abnormal wiring including a breakpoint due to a process, and the gap between the first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112 can be the breakpoint due to the process. The first wiring of the second type 212 is the first wiring 21 arranged continuously without including a breakpoint in the display area AA.
[0057] As shown in Figure 1 The display area AA further includes a plurality of second wirings 22. In the embodiment of the present application, the second wiring 22 includes the second wiring of the first type and / or the second wiring of the second type. As shown in Figure 1 An example in which the second wiring of the first type 221 and the second wiring of the second type 222 are arranged in the display area AA. Specifically, the second wiring of the first type 221 is electrically connected to the first wiring of the first type 211, and the signals transmitted by the second wiring of the first type 221 and the first wiring of the first type 211 electrically connected to each other are the same. The second wiring of the second type 222 is used to transmit the first common signal. The first common signal includes any one of the first power supply voltage, the second power supply voltage and the reference voltage.
[0058] Specifically, continuing to refer to Figure 1The non-display area NA includes at least one third wiring 23 and at least one fourth wiring 24. Along the extension direction of the first wiring 21, the third wiring 23 and the fourth wiring 24 are respectively located on both sides of the first wiring 21. For the first type of first wiring 211, the first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112 are arranged at intervals between the third wiring 23 and the fourth wiring 24. The second type of first wiring 212 is arranged continuously between the third wiring 23 and the fourth wiring 24.
[0059] As shown in Figure 1 , the third wiring 23 includes a first repair line 231, and the fourth wiring 24 includes a second repair line 241. The first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112 are electrically connected through the first repair line 231, the first type of second wiring 221, and the second repair line 241. Among them, the electrical connection means that after any one of the first sub-wiring 2111, the second sub-wiring 2112, the first repair line 231, the first type of second wiring 221, and the second repair line 241 is turned on, the electrical signal can be transmitted to the other wiring. That is, the electrical signal can form a current path between the first sub-wiring 2111, the second sub-wiring 2112, the first repair line 231, the first type of second wiring 221, and the second repair line 241. For example, the first repair line 231 can be in contact with the first sub-wiring 2111 and the first type of second wiring 221 respectively, and the second repair line 241 can be in contact with the second sub-wiring 2112 and the first type of second wiring 221 respectively.
[0060] For example, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 4 , another schematic diagram of a display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown, wherein the first wiring 21 only includes the first type of first wiring 211 as an example. For example, as shown in Figure 4 , each second wiring 22 is a first type of second wiring 221 electrically connected to the corresponding first type of first wiring 211.
[0061] As shown in Figure 4 , the third wiring 23 includes a plurality of first repair lines 231, and the plurality of first repair lines 231 are arranged at intervals. Different first repair lines 231 are electrically connected to different first sub-wirings 2111. The fourth wiring 24 includes a plurality of second repair lines 241, and the plurality of second repair lines 241 are arranged at intervals. Different second repair lines 241 are electrically connected to different second sub-wirings 2112.
[0062] For example, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 5 , another schematic diagram of a display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown, wherein the first wiring 21 only includes the first type of first wiring 211 as an example. As Figure 4The difference is that, in Figure 5 the second wiring 22 includes the second wiring 221 of the first type electrically connected with the first wiring 21 of the first type, and further includes the second wiring 222 of the second type for transmitting the first common signal. For example, the number of the second wiring 221 of the first type can be the same as the number of the first wiring 21, i.e., the number of the second wiring 221 of the first type is the same as the number of the first wiring 211 of the first type.
[0063] For example, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 6 a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown, in which only the second wiring 212 of the first type arranged continuously between the third wiring 23 and the fourth wiring 24 is included in the first wiring 21. In Figure 6 , the second wiring 22 only includes the second wiring 222 of the second type for transmitting the first common signal, i.e., each second wiring 22 is not connected with the first wiring 21.
[0064] In the manufacturing of the display panel, each signal line including the first wiring 21 can be formed in the display panel first, and then it is checked whether the first wiring 211 of the first type exists in the first wiring 21. When the first wiring 211 of the first type exists, the embodiment of the present application can set a repair step in the manufacturing process of the display panel. In the repair step, the first sub-wiring 2111 in the first wiring 211 of the first type can be electrically connected with the second sub-wiring 2112 in the first wiring 211 of the first type through the first repair line 231, the second wiring 221 of the first type and the second repair line 241, so as to ensure that the pixel driving circuit 11 connected with the first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112 can normally receive the required signal, and the situation that the sub-pixel cannot be lighted or is abnormally lighted can be avoided, and the display quality of the display panel can be improved.
[0065] In addition to the second wiring 221 of the first type for repair, the embodiment of the present application can further set the second wiring 222 of the second type for transmitting the first common signal in the second wiring 22, and the setting of the second wiring 222 of the second type can increase the transmission path of the first common signal, which is beneficial to reduce the voltage drop loss of the first common signal in the transmission process and improve the brightness uniformity of the display panel.
[0066] The display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application can set the second wiring 22, the third wiring 23 and the fourth wiring 24 in the display panel, set the first type first wiring 221 in the second wiring 22, set the first repair line 231 in the third wiring 23, and set the second repair line 241 in the fourth wiring 24 to repair the first type first wiring 211 when the first wiring 21 comprises the first type first wiring 211. Specifically, the first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112 can be electrically connected through the first repair line 231, the first type second wiring 221 and the second repair line 241, so as to ensure the normal work of the pixel driving circuit 11 connected by the first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112.
[0067] In addition, the embodiment of the present application can set the second type second wiring 222 in the second wiring 22 to transmit the first common signal, so as to reduce the voltage drop loss of the first common signal in the transmission process and improve the brightness uniformity of the display panel.
[0068] It should be noted that, Figure 2 the structure of the pixel driving circuit and Figure 3 the working timing of the pixel driving circuit is only an example, and the embodiment of the present application can also design the pixel driving circuit in other forms. For example, the pixel driving circuit 11 can be designed in the form of 2T1C including two thin film transistors and one storage capacitor, and the like, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific structure of the pixel driving circuit 11 and the working timing thereof.
[0069] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 the first wiring 21 comprises the first type first wiring 211; the first sub-wiring 2111 is located on the side of the second sub-wiring 2112 close to the first repair line 231, and the second sub-wiring 2112 is located on the side of the first sub-wiring 2111 close to the second repair line 241.
[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, in the non-display area NA, at least one of the first sub-wiring 2111 and the first type second wiring 221 overlaps with the first repair line 231 along the thickness direction h3 of the display panel 100; and / or, at least one of the second sub-wiring 2112 and the first type second wiring 221 overlaps with the second repair line 241. For example, the thickness direction h3 of the display panel is perpendicular to the first direction h1 and the second direction h2.
[0071] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The diagram shows a diagram illustrating that, along the thickness direction h3 of the display panel 100, both the first sub-wiring 2111 and the first-type second-wiring 221 overlap with the first repair line 231; and both the second sub-wiring 2112 and the first-type second-wiring 221 overlap with the second repair line 241. In this embodiment of the present invention, by overlapping at least one of the first sub-wiring 2111 and the first-type second-wiring 221 with the first repair line 231 and / or overlapping at least one of the second sub-wiring 2112 and the first-type second-wiring 221 with the second repair line 241, the first repair line 231 can be more conveniently electrically connected to the first sub-wiring 2111 and the first-type second-wiring 221, respectively, and the second repair line 241 can be more conveniently electrically connected to the first-type second-wiring 221.
[0072] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the non-display area NA also includes a pad area PA, and the pad area PA includes a first pad 31 electrically connected to the first wiring 21; optionally, the first pad 31 can be bound and connected to a driver chip (not shown) to receive a drive signal provided by the driver chip. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first sub-wiring 2111 and the second sub-wiring 2112 are electrically connected to the same first pad 31. With this setting, the number of first pads 31 can be reduced. When repairing the first type of first wiring 211 with a breakpoint, there is no need to additionally set a repair pad electrically connected to the first type of second wiring 211. On the one hand, the number of required pads can be reduced, and on the other hand, it is also beneficial to reduce the requirements for the driver chip and reduce the cost of the driver chip. Exemplarily, the first type of first wiring 211 and the second type of first wiring 212 can be electrically connected to different first pads 31.
[0073] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the non-display area NA further includes a first common signal bus 61, and the pad area PA further includes a second pad 32. In the non-display area NA, the second-type second wiring 222 is electrically connected to the second pad 32 via the first common signal bus 61. For example, when the first common signal is any one of the first power supply voltage, the second power supply voltage, and the reference voltage, based on the configuration provided in the embodiments of the present invention, it is not necessary to electrically connect the second-type second wiring 222 to the routing lines transmitting the aforementioned signals in the display area AA, thereby avoiding increasing the wiring complexity within the display area AA.
[0074] For example, the first common signal bus 61 may at least partially surround the display area AA. Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6In the example shown in FIG. 1, one first common signal bus 61 is arranged on each side of the display area AA along the second direction h2.
[0075] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the second wiring 22 includes a plurality of second wiring of the second type 222. The arrangement of the plurality of second wiring of the second type 222 can increase the transmission path of the first common signal, which is conducive to further reducing the voltage drop loss of the first common signal.
[0076] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the third wiring 23 further includes a first functional line 232 arranged apart from the first repair line 231, and the first functional line 232 and the first repair line 231 are insulated from each other. The fourth wiring 24 further includes a second functional line 242 arranged apart from the second repair line 241, and the second functional line 242 and the second repair line 241 are insulated from each other. Optionally, at least one of the first functional line 232 and the second functional line 242 transmits a second common signal. As an example, the second common signal includes any one of a first power supply voltage, a second power supply voltage, and a reference voltage. With the above arrangement, it is conducive to reducing the voltage drop of the second common signal and improving the brightness consistency of the display panel. Moreover, based on the arrangement, the space of the non-display area NA where the first repair line 231 and the second repair line 241 are located can be fully utilized.
[0077] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the non-display area NA further includes a second common signal bus 62, and the first functional line 232 and / or the second functional line 242 are electrically connected to the second common signal bus 62.
[0078] Optionally, in the manufacturing process of the display panel, the third and fourth wirings 23 and 24 with a relatively long length can be formed first, and at least one of the third and fourth wirings 23 and 24 is connected to the second common signal bus 62. After detecting that the first wiring 21 includes the first-type first wiring 211, the third wiring 23 can be cut to obtain the first repair wiring 231 and the first functional wiring 232 which are insulated from each other, wherein the connection between the first repair wiring 231 and the second common signal bus 62 is disconnected, and at least part of the first functional wiring 232 remains connected to the second common signal bus 62. The first repair wiring 231 is connected to the first-type first wiring 211 and the first-type second wiring 221 respectively.

[0125] The first functional line 232 and the second functional line 242 are beneficial to increase the transmission path of the second common signal, reduce the pressure drop of the second common signal, and improve the display uniformity of the display panel. Moreover, by obtaining the first functional line 232 by cutting the third wiring 23 and obtaining the second functional line 242 by cutting the fourth wiring 24, the preparation process of the first repair line 231, the first functional line 232, the second repair line 241 and the second functional line 242 can be simplified, and the process efficiency can be improved.
