[0029] The embodiments of the present application will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of the present application.

[0030] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] As described in the background section, for a display panel requiring a higher voltage of a data signal, the higher voltage of the data signal results in a higher cost and power consumption of a boost circuit of the display panel, which limits the market competitiveness of the display panel, thereby limiting the development of the display panel and being not conducive to the wide application of the display panel.

[0032] Especially for a type of display panel commonly used in display panels, i.e., an electronic paper display panel, it is desired to apply a higher voltage on an electrophoretic film, which results in a higher voltage required for a corresponding pixel electrode and data signal, and further results in a higher voltage of the boost circuit, which further aggravates the cost and power consumption of the boost circuit, and is not conducive to the development and application of the electronic paper display panel.

[0033] Based on this, the present application provides a display panel, as shown in Figure 1 Figure 1 ​A structural schematic diagram of a display panel is provided in the present application, which comprises a first substrate 10 and a second substrate 20 (the second substrate 20 is not shown in the figure), and further comprises a boost circuit layer 30 and a pixel electrode layer 40 arranged along a first direction x between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, wherein the first direction x is from the first substrate 10 to the second substrate 20. The boost circuit layer 30 comprises a boost circuit 100, as shown in Figure 2 Figure 2 A circuit diagram of a boost circuit 100 is provided in the present application, which comprises a first switch 101, a second switch 102, a third switch 103, a first capacitor 104, a first gate signal line 105, a second gate signal line 106, a data signal line 107 and a constant voltage signal line 108. It should be noted that the voltage of the signal on the constant voltage signal line 108 is a constant value. It should be noted that the adjacent film layers in the display panel are all insulated and separated by an insulating layer.

[0034] The control end of the first switch 101 is electrically connected with the first gate signal line 105, receives a first switch signal provided by the first gate signal line 105, and opens the first switch 101. The input end of the first switch 101 is electrically connected with the data signal line 107, and receives a data voltage signal provided by the data signal line 107. The output end of the first switch 101 is electrically connected with a first node P1. The first plate of the first capacitor 104 is also electrically connected with the first node P1, and the first node P1 is also electrically connected with a pixel electrode in the pixel electrode layer 40, that is, the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is electrically connected with the pixel electrode in the pixel electrode layer 40 through the first node P1, that is, the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is electrically connected with the pixel electrode in the pixel electrode layer 40.

[0035] The control end of the second switch 102 is electrically connected with the first gate signal line 105, receives the first switch to open the second switch 102. The input end of the second switch 102 is electrically connected with the constant voltage signal line 108, and receives a constant voltage signal provided by the constant voltage signal line. The output end of the second switch 102 is electrically connected with a second node P2, and the second plate of the first capacitor 104 is also electrically connected with the second node P2, that is, the output end of the second switch 102 is electrically connected with the second plate of the first capacitor 104 through the second node P2, that is, the output end of the second switch 102 is electrically connected with the second plate of the first capacitor 104.

[0036] ​The control end of the third switch 103 is electrically connected with the second gate signal line 106, receives the second switch signal provided by the second gate signal line 106, and opens the third switch 103. The input end of the third switch 103 is electrically connected with the data signal line 107, receives the data voltage signal, and the output end of the third switch 103 is electrically connected with the second node P2. It is known that the second plate of the first capacitor 104 is electrically connected with the second node P2, so the output end of the third switch 103 is electrically connected with the second plate of the first capacitor 104.

[0037] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, it is known from the above that the boost circuit includes the first capacitor 104, the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is electrically connected with the data signal line 107 through the first switch 101, the second plate of the first capacitor 104 is electrically connected with the constant voltage signal line 108 through the second switch 102, and the second plate of the first capacitor 102 is also electrically connected with the data signal line 107 through the third switch 103. And the first switch 101 and the second switch 102 are controlled to be opened through the first gate signal line 105, and the third switch 103 is controlled to be opened through the second gate signal line 106, so that the opening time and sequence of the first switch, the second switch and the third switch can be controlled through the first gate signal line 105 and the second gate signal line 106, the bootstrap of the output voltage of the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is realized, the bootstrap voltage is generated, and the voltage value of the finally generated bootstrap voltage is related to the voltage of the data voltage signal and the voltage of the constant voltage signal. For example, when the voltage of the constant voltage signal is 0, the voltage value of the bootstrap voltage is twice the voltage value of the data voltage signal, and the voltage value at the first node P1 is twice the voltage value of the data voltage signal, so that the voltage of the pixel electrode is twice the voltage value of the data voltage signal. Therefore, the boost circuit in the display panel provided by the present application can realize the increase of the voltage of the pixel electrode without changing the data signal voltage, that is, the display panel provided by the present application can realize high voltage of the pixel electrode with low data signal voltage, reduce the requirement for the voltage of the data signal, that is, the data voltage signal of the display panel can be lower, and the cost and power consumption of the boost circuit of the display panel are lower.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, the second gate signal line 106 is used to provide the second switch signal to open the third switch 103 after the first switch 101 and the second switch 102 are closed. Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 Figure 3 The timing diagram of the first switch signal Gate1, the second switch signal Gate2 and the data voltage signal Source is shown in Figure 3 ​It can be known that, when the voltage boosting circuit works, firstly, the first gate signal line 105 provides a first switch signal to open the first switch 101 and the second switch 102, so that the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is in communication with the data signal line 107, and the second plate of the first capacitor 104 is in communication with the constant voltage signal line 108, and then the voltage of the data voltage signal is charged to the first plate of the first capacitor 104, and the voltage of the constant voltage signal is charged to the second plate of the first capacitor 104, and the voltage of the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is the difference between the voltage of the data voltage signal and the voltage of the constant voltage signal, that is, the voltage at the first node P1 is the difference between the voltage of the data voltage signal and the voltage of the constant voltage signal. Then, the first switch 101 and the second switch 102 are closed, and after the first switch 101 and the second switch 102 are closed, the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is in a floating potential, and the charge quantity thereof no longer changes and is always the difference between the voltage of the data voltage signal and the voltage of the constant voltage signal.

[0039] Then, after the first switch 101 and the second switch 102 are closed, the second gate signal line 106 provides a second switch signal to open the third switch 103, so that the second plate of the first capacitor 104 is electrically connected with the data signal line 107, and the voltage of the data voltage signal is charged to the second plate of the first capacitor 104. Since the first switch 101 and the second switch 102 are closed, the voltage of the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is in a floating potential and no longer changes, and therefore when the voltage of the data voltage signal is charged to the second plate of the first capacitor 104, the voltage of the first plate of the first capacitor 104 will change due to the change of the voltage of the second plate thereof, and become the difference between 2 times the voltage value of the data voltage signal and the voltage value of the constant voltage signal. That is, if the voltage value of the data voltage signal is defined as V1 and the voltage value of the constant voltage signal is defined as V2, after the first switch 101 and the second switch 102 are closed and the third switch 103 is opened, the output voltage of the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is 2V1-V2, that is, the voltage at the first node P1 is 2V1-V2, so that when the voltage of the constant voltage signal is 0, the output voltage of the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is 2V1 which is 2 times the voltage of the data voltage signal. Therefore, the display panel provided by the present application can realize high voltage of the pixel electrode with low data signal voltage, thereby reducing the requirement for the voltage of the data signal, and the cost and power consumption of the voltage boosting circuit of the display panel are low.

[0040] It should be noted that after the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is at the floating potential, the third switch is opened, and the output voltage of the first plate of the first capacitor 104 changes according to the voltage difference between the voltage of the data voltage signal and the voltage of the constant voltage signal. When the constant voltage signal is not 0, if the voltage of the data voltage signal is less than the voltage of the constant voltage signal, the output voltage of the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is coupled downward, and if the voltage of the data voltage signal is greater than the voltage of the constant voltage signal, the output voltage of the first plate of the first capacitor 104 is coupled upward. However, generally, the voltage of the constant voltage signal is the average of the negative data voltage signal and the positive data voltage signal, so the voltage of the data voltage signal is generally greater than the voltage of the constant voltage signal.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 is another structural schematic diagram of a display panel provided by the present application, Figure 5 is a circuit schematic diagram of another boost circuit provided by the present application, and the display panel further comprises an electrophoretic display layer 50 and a common electrode layer 60 arranged along the first direction x between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20. The electrophoretic display layer 50 is located on the side of the pixel electrode layer away from the first substrate 10, the common electrode layer 60 is located between the electrophoretic display layer 50 and the second substrate 20, and on the side of the second substrate 20 facing the first substrate 10, and the common electrode layer 60 is used to provide a constant voltage signal, and the constant voltage signal line 108 is electrically connected with the common electrode layer 60. It should be noted that Figure 4 the connection between the common electrode layer 60 and the constant voltage signal line 108 is not shown in

[0042] Specifically, the display panel in the above embodiment is an electronic paper display panel, and the electric field formed between the pixel electrode layer 40 and the common electrode layer 60 controls the electrophoretic display layer to display a picture. Moreover, the common electrode layer 60 provides a constant voltage signal, so that the constant voltage signal line 108 is electrically connected with the common electrode layer 60, and the display panel does not need to be equipped with an additional constant voltage source, thereby simplifying the structure of the display panel and making the preparation process simpler.

[0043] It should be noted that the capacitance on the side of the second plate of the first capacitor 104 in the boost circuit of the display panel provided by the present application will affect the self-boosting effect of the output voltage of the first capacitor 104, i.e., the self-boosting voltage. The greater the capacitance on the side of the second plate of the first capacitor 104, the better the self-boosting effect. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 Figure 6 ​The circuit diagram for another boost circuit provided in this application shows that the boost circuit 100 further includes a second capacitor 109. The first plate of the second capacitor 109 is electrically connected to the second node P2, and the second plate of the second capacitor 109 is electrically connected to the constant voltage signal line 108 to receive a constant voltage signal. Specifically, it is known that the second plate of the first capacitor 104 is electrically connected to the second node P2, and the first plate of the second capacitor 109 is also electrically connected to the second node P2. Therefore, the second plate of the first capacitor 104 and the second capacitor 109 are electrically connected through the second node P2. That is to say, the second plate of the first capacitor 104 is also electrically connected to a capacitor, such that the capacitance on one side of the second plate of the first capacitor 104 is the sum of the capacitance of the first plate of the first capacitor 104 and the second capacitor. Thus, the second capacitor 109 can increase the capacitance of the second plate of the first capacitor 104, which helps to ensure the bootstrapping of the output capacitance of the first plate of the first capacitor 104.

[0044] Furthermore, it is known that the second switch 102 and the third switch 103 are electrically connected to the first plate of the first capacitor 104. The aforementioned boost circuit is also electrically connected to a second capacitor 109 on one side of the second plate of the first capacitor 104, which increases the capacitance on one side of the second plate of the first capacitor 104. Therefore, it is not necessary to use the second switch 102 and the third switch 103 with larger capacitance to ensure the bootstrap effect. This reduces the capacitance requirements of the boost circuit on the second switch 102 and the third switch 103, allowing ordinary switches to meet the requirements of the boost circuit 100. This helps to reduce the cost of the boost circuit 100 and, consequently, the cost of the display panel.

[0045] To gain a clearer understanding of the display panel provided in this application, the layout of the boost circuit layer in the display panel provided in this application is described below.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display panel provided in this application. Figure 8A structure diagram of a boost circuit layer in a display panel is provided, the boost circuit layer 30 includes: a first metal layer 31 and a second metal layer 32 arranged in sequence along a first direction. The first metal layer 31 includes a first gate signal line 105, a first sub-metal layer 311 and a second gate signal line 106 arranged in sequence along a second direction y, and the second metal layer 32 includes a constant voltage signal line 108, a second sub-metal layer 321 and a data signal line 107 arranged in sequence along a third direction z, the second direction y and the third direction z are both parallel to the plane where the first substrate 10 is located, and the second direction y and the third direction z are perpendicular to each other. Among them, the second sub-metal layer 321 and the part of the pixel electrode layer 40 corresponding to the second sub-metal layer 321 constitute a first capacitor 104, the second sub-metal layer 321 is opposite to the first sub-metal layer 311, and the second sub-metal layer 321 and the first sub-metal layer 311 constitute a second capacitor 109. It should be noted that it is known that adjacent film layers in the display panel are insulated and isolated by an insulating layer, so the first metal layer 31 and the second metal layer 32 are electrically connected through the first via hole 101, the second metal layer 32 and the pixel electrode layer 40 are electrically connected through the second via hole 102, and the same is true in the following embodiments, which will not be described here.

[0047] As can be seen from the above, the second plate of the second capacitor 105 in the boost circuit layer 30 is located in the same metal layer as the first gate signal line 105 and the second gate signal line 106, and is located between the first gate signal line 105 and the second gate signal line 106, which can be formed in the same process step as the first gate signal line 105 and the second gate signal line 106. The first metal layer 30 can be etched to simultaneously prepare the first gate signal line 105, the second gate signal line 106 and the first sub-metal layer 311, thereby simplifying the preparation process of the display panel. Moreover, the first sub-metal layer 311 is located in the same metal layer as the first gate signal line 105 and the second gate signal line 106, so a separate metal layer does not need to be formed for the second plate of the second capacitor 109, which can simplify the structure of the display panel and also reduce the thickness of the display panel. Similarly, the second sub-metal layer 321 belongs to the same metal layer as the constant voltage signal line 108 and the data voltage signal line 107, which can simplify the structure and preparation process of the display panel and reduce the thickness of the display panel.

[0048] Moreover, as can be seen from the above, the first sub-metal layer 311 and the second sub-metal layer 321 constitute the second capacitor 105, and the second sub-metal layer 321 and the part of the pixel electrode layer 40 corresponding to the second sub-metal layer 321 constitute the first capacitor 104. As can be seen, the second sub-metal layer 321 serves as both the first plate of the first capacitor 104 and the second plate of the second capacitor 105, thereby reducing the number of metal layers in the boost circuit layer 30 as much as possible, and further simplifying the structure and preparation process of the display panel.

[0049] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 Another structure schematic diagram of a boost circuit layer in a display panel provided by the present application is shown in the figure, the boost circuit layer 30 further includes an active layer 33 for forming the first switch 101, the second switch 102 and the third switch 103, and the active layer 33 is located between the first substrate 10 and the first metal layer 31, and the projection of the active layer 33 on the first substrate 10 is located between the projections of the first gate signal line 105 and the second gate signal line 106 on the first substrate 10, and also between the second sub-metal layer 321 and the projection of the data signal line 107 on the first substrate 10, the active layer 33 includes a first active layer 331, a second active layer 332 and a third active layer 333. Wherein one end of the first active layer 331 is electrically connected with the data signal line 107, and the other end is electrically connected with the pixel electrode layer 40. The first metal layer 31 further includes a third sub-metal layer 312 electrically connected with the first gate signal line 105, and the projection of the third sub-metal layer 312 on the first substrate 10 has a first overlapping area with the projection of the first active layer 331 on the first substrate 10, forming the first switch 101.
