Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and a display device. Background Art

[0002] In related art, parasitic capacitance exists between the gate and source of the driver transistor in the pixel driver circuit. During the reset phase of the pixel driver circuit, the gate voltage of the driver transistor is initialized to an initial voltage. Under the coupling effect of the above-mentioned parasitic capacitance, the source voltage of the driver transistor also changes accordingly. When resetting different grayscales during the reset phase, the change in the gate voltage of the driver transistor varies, and thus the change in the source voltage of the driver transistor also varies. This, in turn, results in different source voltages of the driver transistor after the reset phase is completed, and different Vgs (gate-source voltage difference) of the driver transistor. At the same time, because the Vgs of the driver transistor affects its threshold voltage, the display panel may experience afterimage problems.

When the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 shares the first power supply terminal VDD, the voltage of the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 can be 0.5 to 1.5 times the voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD. For example, the voltage of the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 can be 0.5 times, 1 times, 1.5 times, etc., of the voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD.

[0084] like Figure 2As shown, Figure 1 A timing diagram of each node in a driving method for a pixel driving circuit, wherein G1 represents the timing of the first gate driving signal terminal, G2 represents the timing of the second gate driving signal terminal, Re1 represents the timing of the first reset signal terminal, Re2 represents the timing of the second reset signal terminal, and EM represents the timing of the enable signal terminal. The driving method for the pixel driving circuit may include four stages: a reset stage t1, a threshold compensation stage t2, a buffer stage t3, and a light-emitting stage t4. In the reset stage t1, the enable signal terminal EM, the second reset signal terminal Re2, and the first gate driving signal terminal G1 output high-level signals, the second gate driving signal terminal G2 and the first reset signal terminal Re1 output low-level signals, the fourth transistor T4, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, the first initial signal terminal Vinit1 inputs the first initial signal to the first node N1, the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 inputs the third initial signal to the second node N2, and the second initial signal terminal Vinit2 inputs the second initial signal to the fourth node. During the threshold compensation phase t2, the enable signal terminal EM, the second gate drive signal terminal G2, and the first reset signal terminal Re1 output high-level signals, while the second reset signal terminal Re2 and the first gate drive signal terminal G1 output low-level signals. The third transistor T3 and the first transistor T1 are turned on, and the data signal terminal Da writes the compensation voltage Vdata+Vth to the first node N1, where Vdata is the voltage of the data signal terminal and Vth is the threshold voltage of the drive transistor. During the buffering phase t3, the enable signal terminal EM, the first reset signal terminal Re1, and the first gate drive signal terminal G1 output high-level signals, while the second gate drive signal terminal G2 and the second reset signal terminal Re2 output low-level signals, and all transistors are turned off. During the light-emitting phase t4, the first reset signal terminal Re1 and the first gate drive signal terminal G1 output high-level signals, while the enable signal terminal EM, the second gate drive signal terminal G2, and the second reset signal terminal Re2 output low-level signals. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, and the drive transistor T2 emits light under the action of the voltage Vdata+Vth stored in the capacitor C. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the driving method may not include the buffer stage; the fourth transistor T4 and the seventh transistor T7 may be turned on at different stages. During the threshold compensation stage t2, the duration of the effective level (low level) of the first gate drive signal terminal G1 may be shorter than the duration of the effective level (high level) of the second gate drive signal terminal G2. During the threshold compensation stage t2, the first gate drive signal terminal G1 may scan a row of pixel drive circuits, and the second gate drive signal terminal G2 may scan multiple rows of pixel drive circuits, for example, two rows of pixel drive circuits, row by row.

[0085] In the related art, the pixel driving circuit does not have an eighth transistor. There is parasitic capacitance between the gate and source of the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit. During the reset phase of the pixel driving circuit, the gate voltage of the driving transistor is initialized to the initial voltage. Under the above-mentioned parasitic capacitance coupling, the source voltage of the driving transistor also changes accordingly. When resetting different grayscales during the reset phase, the change in the gate voltage of the driving transistor is different, and thus the change in the source voltage of the driving transistor is also different, which in turn leads to different Vgs (gate-source voltage difference) of the driving transistor after the reset phase is completed. At the same time, because the Vgs of the driving transistor affects its threshold voltage, the display panel may have an afterimage problem. In this exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit can use the fourth transistor T4 to reset the first node N1 and the eighth transistor T8 to reset the second node N2 during the reset phase, so that under different data signals, the pixel driving circuit can reset the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor to the same value, thereby improving the problem of afterimage on the display panel.

Figure 39 The hierarchical structures in the display panel are shown as follows Figure 36 The corresponding hierarchical structure in the display panel shown only differs in that Figure 39 The third bridge portion 43 in the fourth conductive layer of the display panel shown has a different structure. Figure 39 、 40As shown, the third bridge portion 43 may have a hollow portion 431, which may be located in the light-transmitting area of ​​the display panel. The light-transmitting area of ​​the display panel can be understood as the area not covered by the light-shielding layer, the first active layer, the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, the second active layer, the third conductive layer, the fourth conductive layer, and the fifth conductive layer. This arrangement can improve the transmittance of the display panel.

[0122] like Figure 41 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of another exemplary embodiment of a display panel disclosed herein. The display panel may include Figure 39 The structure of the display panel shown in FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a structure of a display panel. In addition, the display panel further includes a fifth conductive layer located on the side of the fourth conductive layer facing away from the base substrate. The fifth conductive layer may include a power line VDD and a data line Da. The orthographic projection of the hollow portion 431 on the third bridge portion 43 on the base substrate may intersect with the orthographic projection of the data line Da on the base substrate. Providing the hollow portion 431 on the third bridge portion 43 may further reduce the coupling effect of the third bridge portion 43 on the data line Da.

[0123] like Figure 39 、 40 As shown, the hollow portion 431 is a non-closed figure. It should be understood that the hollow portion can also be a closed figure, for example, Figure 42 、 43 As shown, Figure 42 This is a structural layout diagram of a light shielding layer, a first active layer, a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a second active layer, a third conductive layer, and a fourth conductive layer in another exemplary embodiment of the display panel disclosed herein. Figure 43 for Figure 42 The structure layout of the fourth conductive layer in the display panel is shown.

The closed-loop hollow portion 431 can also improve the transmittance of the display panel and reduce the coupling effect of the third bridge portion 43 on the data line Da.

[0124] like Figure 44 、 45 , 46, Figure 44 This is a structural layout diagram of a light shielding layer, a first active layer, a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a second active layer, a third conductive layer, and a fourth conductive layer in another exemplary embodiment of the display panel disclosed herein. Figure 45 for Figure 44 The structural layout of the second conductive layer, Figure 46 for Figure 44 The structural layout of the fourth conductive layer. Figure 44 The hierarchical structures in the display panel are shown as follows Figure 36The difference between the corresponding hierarchical structures in the display panel shown is that the second conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer have different structures. Figure 45 As shown, the second initial signal line Vinit2 can be set in the second conductive layer, and the second conductive layer is close to the first active layer, so as to improve the yield rate of the via hole between the second initial signal line Vinit2 and the twelfth active portion. Figure 46 As shown, the fourth conductive layer may further include a connecting line 49, the orthographic projection of the connecting line 49 on the base substrate extending along the second direction Y, the connecting line 49 being connected between two sixth bridge portions 46 in the repeating units adjacent in the first direction X, and being connected between two sixth bridge portions 46 in the pixel driving circuits adjacent in the second direction Y. The connecting line 49 may connect the first initial signal line Vinit1 into a grid structure, thereby reducing the self-voltage drop of the first initial signal line Vinit1 and improving the reset effect of the gate of the driving transistor.

[0125] like Figure 44As shown, in the region of the dotted box B, the first reset signal line Re1, the second initial signal line Vinit2, and the third initial signal line Vinit3 extending along the first direction X are stacked in sequence. This results in a protrusion in the insulating layer between the third and fourth conductive layers, facing the fourth conductive layer, at the location of the dotted box B. This protrusion may cause the connecting line 49 to break at the location of the dotted box B. In this exemplary embodiment, at the location of the dotted box B, the orthographic projections of at least two of the three sides of the first reset signal line Re1, the second initial signal line Vinit2, and the third initial signal line Vinit3 on the same side in the second direction Y on the substrate may not overlap. This arrangement allows the protrusion to form a stepped structure, thereby reducing the risk of breaking the connecting line 49. For example, at the position of the dotted box B, the size of the orthogonal projection of the first reset signal line Re1 on the substrate in the second direction Y, the size of the orthogonal projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 on the substrate in the second direction Y, and the size of the orthogonal projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 on the substrate in the second direction Y increase successively, and the orthogonal projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 on the substrate can cover the orthogonal projection of the first reset signal line Re1 on the substrate and the orthogonal projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 on the substrate; for another example, at the position of the dotted box B, the size of the orthogonal projection of the first reset signal line Re1 on the substrate in the second direction Y, the size of the orthogonal projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 on the substrate in the second direction Y, and the size of the orthogonal projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 on the substrate in the second direction Y can be approximately the same, and the orthogonal projection of the first reset signal line Re1 on the substrate, the orthogonal projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 on the substrate, and the orthogonal projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 on the substrate are staggered with each other in the second direction Y.

Figure 47 The hierarchical structures in the display panel are shown as follows Figure 36 The difference between the corresponding hierarchical structures in the display panel shown is that the second conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer have different structures. Figure 48As shown, the second initial signal line Vinit2 can be set in the second conductive layer, and the second conductive layer is close to the first active layer, so as to improve the yield rate of the via hole between the second initial signal line Vinit2 and the twelfth active portion 712. Figure 49 As shown, the fourth conductive layer may further include a connecting line 410 and a bridge portion 411. In the same pixel driving circuit, the bridge portion 411 is connected to the second initial signal line Vinit2 and the twelfth active portion 712 through vias, respectively. The orthographic projection of the connecting line 410 on the base substrate extends along the second direction Y. The connecting line 410 is connected between two bridge portions 411 in adjacent repeating units in the first direction X, and is connected between two bridge portions 411 in adjacent pixel driving circuits in the second direction Y. The connecting line 410 can connect the second initial signal line Vinit2 into a grid structure, thereby reducing the voltage drop of the second initial signal line Vinit2 itself.

The connecting lines 49 and the connecting lines 410 can be arranged between different repeating units. For example, the connecting lines 49 and the connecting lines 410 can be alternately arranged in the first direction X.

The hollow portion 52 can be located in the light-transmitting area of ​​the display panel. This arrangement can increase the transmittance of the display panel. In addition, the orthographic projection of the hollow portion 52 on the base substrate can overlap with the orthographic projection of the connecting line 49 on the base substrate. This arrangement can reduce the coupling effect between the power line VDD and the first initial signal line Vinit1.

Accordingly, the hollow portion 52 can include a closed-loop hollow portion 522 and a non-closed-loop hollow portion 521. In addition, the hollow portion 52 can also include only a non-closed-loop hollow portion. For example, the connected power lines VDD can be connected through only one connecting portion 53.

This hollow portion 52 can be located in the light-transmitting area of ​​the display panel, which can increase the transmittance of the display panel. In addition, the orthographic projection of the hollow portion 52 on the base substrate can overlap with the orthographic projection of the connecting line 410 on the base substrate, which can reduce the coupling between the power line VDD and the second initial signal line Vinit2.
