[0089] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation methods can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be varied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0090] The scale of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual manufacturing processes, but is not limited thereto. For example, the aspect ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the quantities shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the figures.

[0091] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.

[0092] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0093] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0094] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0095] In this specification, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged, and the "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.

[0096] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.

[0097] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.

[0098] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."

[0099] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined; they can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, as are chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.

[0100] In this disclosure, “about” means a value that is not strictly limited and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0101] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device. Figure 1As shown, the display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, a light-emitting driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is connected to the data driver, the scan driver, and the light-emitting driver. The data driver is connected to multiple data signal lines (D1 to Dn), the scan driver is connected to multiple scan signal lines (S1 to Sm), and the light-emitting driver is connected to multiple light-emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo). The pixel array may include multiple sub-pixels Pxij, where i and j can be natural numbers. At least one sub-pixel Pxij may include a circuit unit and a light-emitting device connected to the circuit unit. The circuit unit may include at least one scan signal line, at least one data signal line, at least one light-emitting signal line, and a pixel driving circuit. In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller may provide grayscale values ​​and control signals of specifications suitable for the data driver to the data driver, provide clock signals, scan start signals, etc. of specifications suitable for the scan driver to the scan driver, and provide clock signals, emission stop signals, etc. of specifications suitable for the light-emitting driver to the light-emitting driver. The data driver can use grayscale values ​​and control signals received from the timing controller to generate data voltages to be provided to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., Dn. For example, the data driver can sample grayscale values ​​using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values ​​to data signal lines D1 to Dn in pixel rows, where n can be a natural number. The scan driver can generate scan signals to be provided to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, etc., from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver can sequentially provide scan signals with on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver can be configured as a shift register and can generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting scan start signals in the form of on-level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. The light-emitting driver can generate transmit signals to be provided to light-emitting signal lines E1, E2, E3, ..., Eo by receiving clock signals, transmit stop signals, etc., from the timing controller. For example, an LED driver can sequentially provide transmit signals with cutoff level pulses to LED signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the LED driver can be configured as a shift register and can generate transmit signals by sequentially transmitting transmit stop signals in the form of cutoff level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where o can be a natural number.

[0102] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of a planar structure of a display substrate. In an exemplary embodiment, the display substrate may include a plurality of pixel units P arranged in a matrix. At least one pixel unit P may include a first sub-pixel P1 emitting a first color light, a second sub-pixel P2 emitting a second color light, and two third sub-pixels P3 and a fourth sub-pixel P4 emitting a third color light. Each of the four sub-pixels may include a circuit unit and a light-emitting device. The circuit unit may include a scan signal line, a data signal line, a light-emitting signal line, and a pixel driving circuit. The pixel driving circuit is connected to the scan signal line, the data signal line, and the light-emitting signal line, respectively. The pixel driving circuit is configured to receive the data voltage transmitted by the data signal line and output a corresponding current to the light-emitting device under the control of the scan signal line and the light-emitting signal line. The light-emitting device in each sub-pixel is connected to the pixel driving circuit of the sub-pixel, and the light-emitting device is configured to emit light of a corresponding brightness in response to the current output by the pixel driving circuit of the sub-pixel.

[0103] In an exemplary embodiment, the first sub-pixel P1 can be a red sub-pixel (R) emitting red light, the second sub-pixel P2 can be a blue sub-pixel (B) emitting blue light, and the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 can be green sub-pixels (G) emitting green light. In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the sub-pixels can be rectangular, rhomboid, pentagonal, or hexagonal. In one exemplary embodiment, the four sub-pixels can be arranged in a square to form a GGRB pixel arrangement. In other exemplary embodiments, the four sub-pixels can be arranged horizontally side-by-side, vertically side-by-side, or in a diamond shape, etc., and this disclosure is not limited thereto. In other exemplary embodiments, a pixel unit can include three sub-pixels, and the three sub-pixels can be arranged horizontally side-by-side, vertically side-by-side, or in a triangular arrangement, etc., and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0104] In an exemplary embodiment, multiple sub-pixels arranged sequentially in the horizontal direction are called pixel rows, and multiple sub-pixels arranged sequentially in the vertical direction are called pixel columns. Multiple pixel rows and multiple pixel columns constitute a pixel array arranged in an array.

[0105] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a display substrate, illustrating the structure of three sub-pixels. For example... Figure 3 As shown, on a plane perpendicular to the display substrate, the display substrate may include a driving circuit layer 102 disposed on the substrate 101, a light-emitting structure layer 103 disposed on the side of the driving circuit layer 102 away from the substrate, and an encapsulation layer 104 disposed on the side of the light-emitting structure layer 103 away from the substrate. In some possible implementations, the display substrate may include other film layers, such as spacers, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0106] In an exemplary embodiment, substrate 101 may be a flexible substrate or a rigid substrate. The driving circuit layer 102 for each sub-pixel may include multiple signal lines and pixel driving circuitry, the pixel driving circuitry including multiple transistors and storage capacitors. Figure 3 The illustration uses only one driving transistor 210 and one storage capacitor 211 as an example. The light-emitting structure layer 103 of each sub-pixel may include multiple film layers constituting the light-emitting device. These multiple film layers may include an anode 301, a pixel definition layer 302, an organic light-emitting layer 303, and a cathode 304. The anode 301 is connected to the drain electrode of the driving transistor 210 through a via. The organic light-emitting layer 303 is connected to the anode 301, and the cathode 304 is connected to the organic light-emitting layer 303. The organic light-emitting layer 303 emits light of the corresponding color under the drive of the anode 301 and the cathode 304. The encapsulation layer 104 may include a first encapsulation layer 401, a second encapsulation layer 402, and a third encapsulation layer 403 stacked together. The first encapsulation layer 401 and the third encapsulation layer 403 may be made of inorganic materials, while the second encapsulation layer 402 may be made of organic materials. The second encapsulation layer 402 is disposed between the first encapsulation layer 401 and the third encapsulation layer 403 to ensure that external moisture cannot enter the light-emitting structure layer 103.

[0107] In an exemplary embodiment, the organic light-emitting layer 303 may include stacked hole injection layer (HIL), hole transport layer (HTL), electron block layer (EBL), emitting layer (EML), hole block layer (HBL), electron transport layer (ETL), and electron injection layer (EIL). In an exemplary embodiment, the hole injection layer and electron injection layer of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, the hole transport layer and electron transport layer of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, and the hole block layer of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together. The emitting layer and electron block layer of adjacent sub-pixels may have a small amount of overlap, or they may be isolated.

[0108] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit may be a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C or 8T1C structure. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an equivalent circuit for a pixel driving circuit. (Example) Figure 4As shown, the pixel driving circuit may include 7 transistors (first transistor T1 to seventh transistor T7) and 1 storage capacitor C. The pixel driving circuit is connected to 8 signal lines (data signal line D, first scan signal line S1, second scan signal line S2, light emission signal line E, first initial signal line INIT1, second initial signal line INIT2, first power supply line VDD and second power supply line VSS).

[0109] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit may include a first node N1, a second node N2, and a third node N3. The first node N1 is connected to the first terminal of the third transistor T3, the second terminal of the fourth transistor T4, and the second terminal of the fifth transistor T5, respectively. The second node N2 is connected to the second terminal of the first transistor, the first terminal of the second transistor T2, the control terminal of the third transistor T3, and the second terminal of the storage capacitor C, respectively. The third node N3 is connected to the second terminal of the second transistor T2, the second terminal of the third transistor T3, and the first terminal of the sixth transistor T6, respectively.

[0110] In an exemplary embodiment, the first end of the storage capacitor C is connected to the first power line VDD, and the second end of the storage capacitor C is connected to the second node N2, that is, the second end of the storage capacitor C is connected to the control electrode of the third transistor T3.

[0111] The control electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the second scan signal line S2, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first initial signal line INIT1, and the second electrode of the first transistor is connected to the second node N2. When the on-level scan signal is applied to the second scan signal line S2, the first transistor T1 transmits the first initial voltage to the control electrode of the third transistor T3 to initialize the charge of the control electrode of the third transistor T3.

[0112] The control electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first scan signal line S1, the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second node N2, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the third node N3. When a conduction-level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line S1, the second transistor T2 connects the control electrode of the third transistor T3 to its second electrode.

[0113] The control electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second node N2, meaning the control electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second terminal of the storage capacitor C. The first electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first node N1, and the second electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the third node N3. The third transistor T3 can be called the driving transistor. The amount of driving current flowing between the first power line VDD and the second power line VSS is determined by the potential difference between its control electrode and its first electrode.

[0114] The control electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first scan signal line S1, the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data signal line D, and the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first node N1. The fourth transistor T4 can be called a switching transistor, scanning transistor, etc. When a conduction-level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line S1, the fourth transistor T4 causes the data voltage of the data signal line D to be input to the pixel driving circuit.

[0115] The control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the light-emitting signal line E, the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first node N1. The control electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the light-emitting signal line E, the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the third node N3, and the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the first electrode of the light-emitting device. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 can be referred to as light-emitting transistors. When a conduction-level light-emitting signal is applied to the light-emitting signal line E, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 cause the light-emitting device to emit light by forming a driving current path between the first power supply line VDD and the second power supply line VSS.

[0116] The control electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the first scan signal line S1, the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second initial signal line INIT2, and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the first electrode of the light-emitting device. When a conduction level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line S1, the seventh transistor T7 transmits the second initial voltage to the first electrode of the light-emitting device to initialize or release the accumulated charge in the first electrode of the light-emitting device.

[0117] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting device may be an OLED, which includes a stacked first electrode (anode), an organic light-emitting layer, and a second electrode (cathode), or it may be a QLED, which includes a stacked first electrode (anode), a quantum dot light-emitting layer, and a second electrode (cathode).

[0118] In an exemplary embodiment, the second electrode of the light-emitting device is connected to the second power line VSS, where the signal of the second power line VSS is a low-level signal, and the signal of the first power line VDD is a continuously high-level signal. The first scan signal line S1 is the scan signal line in the pixel driving circuit of this display row, and the second scan signal line S2 is the scan signal line in the pixel driving circuit of the previous display row. That is, for the nth display row, the first scan signal line S1 is S(n), and the second scan signal line S2 is S(n-1). The second scan signal line S2 of this display row and the first scan signal line S1 in the pixel driving circuit of the previous display row are the same signal line, which can reduce the signal lines of the display panel and realize a narrow bezel of the display panel.

[0119] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 can be either P-type transistors or N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistor in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel, and improve the product yield. In some possible implementations, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 may include both P-type and N-type transistors.

[0120] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 can be a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor, or an oxide thin-film transistor, or a combination of both. The active layer of the LTPS is made of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon, while the active layer of the oxide thin-film transistor is made of oxide. LTPS transistors have advantages such as high mobility and fast charging, while oxide thin-film transistors have advantages such as low leakage current. Integrating LTPS and oxide thin-film transistors onto a single display substrate to form a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display substrate leverages the advantages of both, enabling low-frequency driving, reducing power consumption, and improving display quality.

[0121] Figure 5 This is a timing diagram of a pixel driving circuit. The following is a breakdown of the circuit's operation. Figure 4 The operation of the example pixel driving circuit illustrates an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 4 The pixel driving circuit includes 7 transistors (first transistor T1 to sixth transistor T7), 1 storage capacitor C, and 8 signal lines (data signal line D, first scan signal line S1, second scan signal line S2, light emission signal line E, first initial signal line INIT1, second initial signal line INIT2, first power supply line VDD and second power supply line VSS). All 7 transistors are P-type transistors.

[0122] In an exemplary embodiment, taking OLED as an example, the operation of the pixel driving circuit may include:

[0123] In the first stage A1, also known as the reset stage, the signal on the second scan signal line S2 is low, while the signals on the first scan signal line S1 and the light-emitting signal line E are high. The low signal on the second scan signal line S2 turns on the first transistor T1, providing the initial voltage of the first initial signal line INIT1 to the second node N2 to initialize the storage capacitor C and clear the existing data voltage. The high signals on the first scan signal line S1 and the light-emitting signal line E turn off the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7; during this stage, the OLED does not emit light.

[0124] The second stage, A2, is called the data writing stage or threshold compensation stage. During this stage, the signal on the first scan signal line S1 is low, while the signals on the second scan signal line S2 and the light-emitting signal line E are high. The data signal line D outputs a data voltage. Because the second terminal of the storage capacitor C is low, the third transistor T3 is turned on. The low signal on the first scan signal line S1 turns on the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the seventh transistor T7. The turn-on of the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 allows the data voltage output from the data signal line D to be supplied to the second node N2 via the first node N1, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor T2. The difference between the data voltage output from the data signal line D and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the storage capacitor C. The voltage at the second terminal of the storage capacitor C (second node N2) is Vd - |Vth|, where Vd is the data voltage output from the data signal line D, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on, providing the second initial voltage of the second initial signal line INIT2 to the first electrode of the OLED, initializing (resetting) the first electrode of the OLED, clearing its internal pre-stored voltage, completing the initialization, and ensuring that the OLED does not emit light. The signal of the second scan signal line S2 is a high-level signal, causing the first transistor T1 to turn off. The signal of the light emission signal line E is a high-level signal, causing the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 to turn off.

[0125] The third stage, A3, is called the light-emitting stage. During this stage, the light-emitting signal line E is at a low level, while the first scan signal line S1 and the second scan signal line S2 are at a high level. The low level of the light-emitting signal line E turns on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6. The power supply voltage output from the first power line VDD then provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the OLED through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, third transistor T3, and sixth transistor T6, driving the OLED to emit light.

[0126] During the pixel driving circuit operation, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its gate electrode and its first electrode. Since the voltage at the second node N2 is Vdata - |Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:

[0127] I = K * (Vgs - Vth) 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd)] 2

[0128] Where I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, which is the driving current driving the OLED, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vd is the data voltage output by the data signal line D, and Vdd is the power supply voltage output by the first power supply line VDD.

[0129] With the development of OLED display technology, consumers have increasingly higher requirements for the display effect of display products. Extremely narrow bezels have become a new trend in display product development. Therefore, narrow bezels and even bezel-less designs are receiving increasing attention in OLED display product design. A display substrate typically includes a display area and a bonding area located on one side of the display area. The bonding area may include at least a first fan-out area, a bending area, a driver chip area, and a bonding pin area arranged sequentially along a direction away from the display area. The first fan-out area includes at least data fan-out lines, and multiple data fan-out lines are configured to connect to the data signal lines of the display area in a fan-out routing manner. The bending area may include a composite insulating layer with grooves, configured to bend the bonding area to the back of the display area. The driver chip area may include an integrated circuit (IC), configured to connect to the multiple data fan-out lines. The bonding pin area may include bonding pads, configured to bond to an external flexible printed circuit (FPC). Typically, the width of the bonding area is smaller than the width of the display area. The signal lines of the integrated circuit and bonding pads in the bonding area need to be introduced into the wider display area through the first fan-out area. The greater the difference in width between the display area and the bonding area, the more diagonal fan-out lines there are in the fan-shaped area, and the greater the distance between the driver chip area and the display area. Therefore, the fan-shaped area occupies a large space, making it more difficult to narrow the bottom bezel design. The bottom bezel has always been maintained at around 2.0mm.

[0130] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a planar structure of a display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, the display substrate 10 may include a display area 100, a bonding area 200 located on one side of the display area 100, and a border area 300 located on other sides of the display area 100. In an exemplary embodiment, the display area 100 may be a flat area, including a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij constituting a pixel array, a plurality of data signal lines, and a plurality of data fan-out lines. The plurality of sub-pixels Pxij are configured to display dynamic or still images, the plurality of data signal lines are configured to provide data signals to the plurality of sub-pixels Pxij, and the plurality of data fan-out lines are correspondingly connected to the plurality of data signal lines, configured such that the plurality of data signal lines are correspondingly connected to a plurality of leads in the bonding area 200 through the plurality of data fan-out lines. In an exemplary embodiment, the display substrate may be a flexible substrate, and therefore the display substrate may be deformable, such as being rolled, bent, folded, or rolled up.

[0131] In an exemplary embodiment, the display area 100 may include a plurality of pixel units arranged in a matrix. At least one pixel unit may include a red sub-pixel R emitting red light, a blue sub-pixel B emitting blue light, a first green sub-pixel G1 emitting green light, and a second green sub-pixel G2 emitting green light. In an exemplary embodiment, the red sub-pixel R may include a red light-emitting device emitting red light and a red circuit unit connected to the red light-emitting device; the blue sub-pixel B may include a blue light-emitting device emitting blue light and a blue circuit unit connected to the blue light-emitting device; the first green sub-pixel G1 may include a first green light-emitting device emitting green light and a first green circuit unit connected to the first green light-emitting device; and the second green sub-pixel G2 may include a second green light-emitting device emitting green light and a second green circuit unit connected to the second green light-emitting device. The red circuit unit, blue circuit unit, first green circuit unit, and second green circuit unit constitute a circuit unit group, and the four circuit units in at least one circuit unit group may be arranged in a square manner. In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of sub-pixels may form a plurality of pixel rows and a plurality of pixel columns, and the plurality of circuit units may form a plurality of circuit unit rows and a plurality of circuit unit columns. In this disclosure, a sub-pixel refers to a region divided according to a light-emitting device, and a circuit unit refers to a region divided according to a pixel driving circuit. In exemplary embodiments, the positions of sub-pixels and circuit units may correspond, or the positions of sub-pixels and circuit units may not correspond.

[0132] In an exemplary embodiment, the bonding area 200 may include a lead area 201, a bending area 202, a driver chip area, and a bonding pin area arranged sequentially along a direction away from the display area. The lead area 201 is connected to the display area 100, and the bending area 202 is connected to the lead area 201.

[0133] In an exemplary embodiment, the lead area 201 can be provided with multiple parallel leads extending in a direction away from the display area. One end of each lead is connected to a plurality of data fan-out lines in the display area 100, and the other end of each lead crosses the bending area 202 and connects to the integrated circuit in the driver chip area, so that the integrated circuit applies data signals to the data signal lines through the leads and data fan-out lines. Since there is no need to provide fan-shaped diagonal lines in the lead area, the vertical length of the lead area is effectively reduced, and the width of the bottom bezel is greatly reduced. This makes the widths of the top, bottom, left, and right bezels of the display device similar, all below 1.0mm, improving the screen-to-body ratio and facilitating the realization of a full-screen display.

[0134] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a data signal line and a data fan-out line, as exemplified by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In a plane parallel to the display substrate, the driving circuit layer may include multiple circuit units. Multiple circuit units arranged sequentially along a first direction X are called circuit unit rows, and multiple circuit units arranged sequentially along a second direction Y are called circuit unit columns. The multiple circuit unit rows and columns constitute an array of circuit units, with the first direction X intersecting the second direction Y. In an exemplary embodiment, the first direction X may be the extension direction of the scan signal line (horizontal direction), and the second direction Y may be the extension direction of the data signal line (vertical direction). The first direction X and the second direction Y may be perpendicular to each other. Figure 7 As shown, the display area 100 may include multiple data signal lines 42 and multiple data fan-out lines 50, and the lead area 201 of the bonding area may include multiple lead-out lines 60. In an exemplary embodiment, the multiple data signal lines 42 may extend along the direction of the circuit unit column and be arranged sequentially at predetermined intervals along the direction of the circuit unit row. Each data signal line 42 is connected to the pixel driving circuit of all circuit units in a circuit unit column in the display area 100. The first end of the multiple data fan-out lines 50 is correspondingly connected to the multiple data signal lines 42, and the second end of the multiple data fan-out lines 50 is correspondingly connected to the multiple lead-out lines 60 of the lead area 201, so that the multiple data signal lines 42 in the display area 100 are correspondingly connected to the multiple lead-out lines 60 in the bonding area 200 through the multiple data fan-out lines 50 in the display area 100.

[0135] In an exemplary embodiment, the number of data fan-out lines in the display area can be the same as the number of data signal lines, with each data signal line connected to a corresponding lead through a data fan-out line. Alternatively, the number of data fan-out lines in the display area can be less than the number of data signal lines, with some data signal lines in the display area connected to corresponding leads through data fan-out lines, and other data signal lines directly connected to leads. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this aspect.

In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second data fan-out line in the display substrate plane at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first power line in the display substrate plane, or at least a portion of the second data fan-out line is disposed between the first power line and the data signal line.

[0141] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second data fan-out line in the plane of the display substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the initial signal connection line in the plane of the display substrate.

[0142] In an exemplary embodiment, in a plane perpendicular to the display substrate, the driving circuit layer includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a third conductive layer, and a fourth conductive layer sequentially disposed on the substrate. Insulating layers are disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, between the second conductive layer and the third conductive layer, and between the third conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer. The first compensation line, the second compensation line, the first data fan-out line, and the second data fan-out line are disposed in the same layer.

[0143] In an exemplary embodiment, the data signal line is disposed in a different conductive layer from the first data fan-out line and the second data fan-out line, and the first data fan-out line or the second data fan-out line is connected to the data signal line through a via.

[0144] In an exemplary embodiment, the data signal line is disposed in the third conductive layer, and the first data fan-out line and the second data fan-out line are disposed in the fourth conductive layer; or, the data signal line is disposed in the fourth conductive layer, and the first data fan-out line and the second data fan-out line are disposed in the third conductive layer.

[0146] In an exemplary embodiment, the data signal line and the first power line are arranged on the same layer.

[0147] Figure 8a and Figure 8b This is a schematic diagram illustrating two types of normal areas and routing areas, as exemplary embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 8a and Figure 8bAs shown, since multiple data fan-out lines 50 are set in a portion of the display area, the display area can be divided into a normal area 110 and a routing area based on whether or not data fan-out lines 50 are set. The normal area 110 can be an area without data fan-out lines 50, and the routing area can be an area with data fan-out lines 50.

[0148] In an exemplary embodiment, the normal region 110 may include a plurality of normal circuit units, and the orthographic projection of the data fan-out line 50 on the display substrate plane does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit in the normal circuit unit on the display substrate plane. The routing region may include a plurality of routing circuit units, and the orthographic projection of the data fan-out line 50 on the display substrate plane at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit in the routing circuit unit on the display substrate plane.

[0149] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one data fan-out line 50 may include a first data fan-out line 51 extending along the direction of a circuit cell row (first direction X) and a second data fan-out line 52 extending along the direction of a circuit cell column (second direction Y). The first end of the first data fan-out line 51 is connected to a data signal line. The second end of the first data fan-out line 51 extends along the first direction X or the opposite direction of the first direction X and is connected to the first end of the second data fan-out line 52. The second end of the second data fan-out line 52 extends along the second direction Y and is connected to the lead-out line of the bonding area.

[0150] Since the data fan-out lines include a first data fan-out line 51 and a second data fan-out line 52 with different extension directions, the routing area can be divided into a first routing area 111 and a second routing area 112 according to the extension direction of the data fan-out lines. The first routing area 111 can be the area where the first data fan-out line 51 is provided, and the second routing area 112 can be the area where the second data fan-out line 52 is provided.

[0151] In an exemplary embodiment, the first trace area 111 may include a plurality of first circuit units, and the orthographic projection of the first data fan-out line 51 on the display substrate plane at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit in the first circuit unit on the display substrate plane. In some possible exemplary embodiments, the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit in the first circuit unit on the display substrate plane does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second data fan-out line 52 on the display substrate plane.

[0152] In an exemplary embodiment, the second trace region 112 may include a plurality of second circuit units, and the orthographic projection of the second data fan-out line 52 on the display substrate plane at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit in the second circuit unit on the display substrate plane. In some possible exemplary embodiments, the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit in the second circuit unit on the display substrate plane does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first data fan-out line 51 on the display substrate plane.

[0153] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 8a and Figure 8b The division of each region shown is merely an illustrative example. Since the normal region 110, the first routing region 111, and the second routing region 112 are divided according to the presence or absence of data fan-out lines and the extension direction of the data fan-out lines, the shapes of the normal region 110, the first routing region 111, and the second routing region 112 can be regular polygons or irregular polygons. The display area can be divided into one or more normal regions 110, one or more first routing regions 111, and one or more second routing regions 112. This disclosure does not limit this.

Figure 8c As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the compensation line in at least one normal circuit unit may include a first compensation line 71 extending along a first direction X and a second compensation line 72 extending along a second direction Y. The first compensation line 71 and the second compensation line 72 intersect each other and are an integral structure connected to each other.

In a possible exemplary embodiment, the second compensation line 72 can be connected to the first power line via a via.

[0157] In another exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second compensation line 72 in the plane of the display substrate can be located between the orthographic projection of the first power line in the plane of the display substrate and the orthographic projection of the data signal line in the plane of the display substrate, that is, the orthographic projection of the second compensation line 72 in the plane of the display substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first power line in the plane of the display substrate.

[0158] In another exemplary embodiment, the normal circuit unit further includes an initial signal line that provides an initial signal to the pixel driving circuit. The initial signal line may include a first initial signal line, a second initial signal line, and an initial signal connection line. The main body portions of the first and second initial signal lines may extend along a first direction X, and the main body portion of the initial signal connection line may extend along a second direction Y. The initial signal connection line can be connected to the first initial signal line via a via. The orthographic projection of the first compensation line 71 in the display substrate plane may at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first or second initial signal line in the display substrate plane. The orthographic projection of the second compensation line 72 in the display substrate plane may at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the initial signal connection line in the display substrate plane. In a possible exemplary embodiment, the second compensation line 72 can be connected to the initial signal connection line via a via.

Figure 8d As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the compensation line in at least one normal circuit unit may include a first compensation line 71 extending along a first direction X and a second compensation line 72 extending along a second direction Y. The two second compensation lines 72 may be disposed on the side of the first compensation line 71 in the second direction Y or the opposite direction of the second direction Y, and the two second compensation lines 72 and the first compensation line 71 form an integral structure interconnected. In a possible exemplary embodiment, the two second compensation lines 72 may be interconnected by a connecting strip extending along the first direction X.

Figure 8e As shown, the first routing area may include multiple first circuit units, and at least one first circuit unit is provided with a first data fan-out line 51 and a third compensation line 73. In an exemplary embodiment, the first data fan-out line 51 extends along a first direction X, and the third compensation line 73 extends along a second direction Y.

[0166] In an exemplary embodiment, the first data fan-out line 51 can be continuously arranged in a circuit unit row, and the first data fan-out lines 51 in adjacent first circuit units in the first direction X are interconnected.

[0167] In an exemplary embodiment, the third compensation line 73 may be spaced out in a circuit unit column, and the third compensation line 73 may be disposed on one side or both sides of the first data fan-out line 51. A first gap L1 is formed between the edge of the first data fan-out line 51 near the third compensation line 73 and the end face of the third compensation line 73 near the first data fan-out line 51.

[0204] The following description uses the fabrication process of a display substrate as an example. The "patterning process" described in this disclosure includes, for metallic, inorganic, or transparent conductive materials, processes such as photoresist coating, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping; for organic materials, it includes processes such as organic material coating, mask exposure, and development. Deposition can be performed using any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition; coating can be performed using any one or more of spraying, spin coating, and inkjet printing; etching can be performed using any one or more of dry etching and wet etching. This disclosure does not limit the methods used. A "thin film" refers to a thin film made of a certain material on a substrate using deposition, coating, or other processes. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it can also be called a "layer." If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern." The phrase "A and B are arranged in the same layer" in this disclosure means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer is the dimension of the film layer in the direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary range of the orthographic projection of A, or the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

[0256] In an exemplary embodiment, a first anode connection electrode 53 may be disposed in each circuit unit. The first anode connection electrode 53 is connected to a third connection electrode 46 via a twelfth via V12. Since the third connection electrode 46 is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer (which is also the second region of the seventh active layer) via a fourth via V4, the first anode connection electrode 53 is thus connected to the second region of the sixth active layer (which is also the second region of the seventh active layer) via the third connection electrode 46.

[0258] In a display substrate, the display area includes a trace area with data fan-out lines and a normal area without data fan-out lines. Because the data fan-out lines in the trace area have high reflectivity under external light, while the other metal lines in the normal area have weak reflectivity, the appearance of the normal area differs significantly from that of the trace area, resulting in an appearance defect in the display substrate, especially noticeable when the screen is off or in low grayscale display.

[0309] In an exemplary embodiment, the process of forming the sixth insulating layer, the fifth conductive layer, the first planarization layer and the anode pattern can be substantially the same as that in the foregoing embodiments (18) to (111), and will not be repeated here.

[0310] In a display substrate, the display area includes a trace area with data fan-out lines and a normal area without data fan-out lines. The trace area includes a first data fan-out line and a second data fan-out line with different extension directions. Since the normal area has weak reflectivity and the trace area has strong reflectivity, and the reflectivity of the first data fan-out line is different from that of the second data fan-out line, the appearance of the normal area and the trace area are significantly different. The appearance of the first trace area with the first data fan-out line and the appearance of the second trace area with the second data fan-out line are different, resulting in a defective appearance of the display substrate, which is more obvious when the screen is off or when displaying at low grayscale. The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure provide compensation lines in the normal area, the first trace area, and the second trace area. The compensation lines are disposed on the same layer as the data fan-out lines and formed simultaneously by the same patterning process. The normal area is provided with a first compensation line extending along the first direction X and a second compensation line extending along the second direction Y. The first trace area is provided with a third compensation line extending along the second direction Y, and the second trace area is provided with a fourth compensation line extending along the first direction X. This makes the reflectivity of the first and second compensation lines in the normal area, the first data fan-out lines and the third compensation line in the first trace area, and the second data fan-out lines and the fourth compensation line in the second trace area substantially similar, eliminating the difference in appearance between the normal area, the first trace area, and the second trace area, and avoiding poor appearance of the display substrate.

[0311] As can be seen from the above description of the display substrate structure and fabrication process, this disclosure, by setting data fan-out lines within the display area, connects the lead lines of the bonding area to the data signal lines through the data fan-out lines. This eliminates the need for fan-shaped diagonal lines in the lead area, effectively reducing the vertical length of the lead area and significantly shortening the bottom bezel width. This results in the top, bottom, left, and right bezels of the display device having similar widths, all below 1.0mm, thus increasing the screen-to-body ratio and facilitating full-screen display. Furthermore, by setting initial signal connection lines extending along the second direction in the main body, and connecting these initial signal connection lines to the first initial signal lines through vias, this disclosure creates a mesh structure between the initial signal connection lines and the first initial signal lines. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the first initial signal lines and decreases the voltage drop of the first initial voltage, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the first initial voltage in the display substrate, thereby enhancing display uniformity, display quality, and overall display performance. This disclosure eliminates the difference in appearance between the normal area, the first routing area, and the second routing area by setting compensation lines in the same layer as the data fan-out lines and forming them simultaneously in the same patterning process, thus avoiding appearance defects of the display substrate. This disclosure also avoids electrical defects caused by the floating of the compensation lines by connecting them to the first power line or the initial signal connection line, improving operational reliability and display effect. The fabrication process of this disclosure is highly compatible with existing fabrication processes, is simple to implement, easy to implement, has high production efficiency, low production cost, and high yield.

[0312] This disclosure effectively reduces parasitic capacitance between the first data fan-out line and the first power line by placing the first data fan-out line between the first power line and the data signal line, thereby effectively reducing crosstalk.

[0313] The structure and its preparation process described above are merely illustrative examples. In the exemplary embodiments, the corresponding structure and the patterning process can be modified or reduced according to actual needs. For example, Figure 15a and Figure 15b The twenty-first via in the diagram exposes the surface of the initial signal connection line. Figure 16a and Figure 16b The second compensation line can at least partially overlap with the initial signal connection line, and the second compensation line is connected to the initial signal connection line through the twenty-first via. For example, Figure 21a and Figure 21b The 22nd via in the diagram can expose the surface of the initial signal connection line. Figure 22a and Figure 22bThe third compensation line can at least partially overlap with the initial signal connection line, and the third compensation line is connected to the initial signal connection line through the twenty-second via. For example, Figure 23a and Figure 23b The 23rd via in the diagram can expose the surface of the first power line. Figure 24a and Figure 24b The fourth compensation line 74 can be connected to the first power line through the twenty-third via, and the second data fan-out line can at least partially overlap with the initial signal connection line. Alternatively, the fan-out line and compensation line can be disposed in the third conductive layer, and the first power line and data signal line can be disposed in the fourth conductive layer. Alternatively, the first power line and data signal line can be disposed in the fourth conductive layer, and the fan-out line and compensation line can be disposed in the fifth conductive layer. Alternatively, the first power line and data signal line can be disposed in different film layers. Alternatively, the display substrate can also include a second power line VSS extending along the second direction, and the orthographic projections of the data fan-out line and compensation line extending along the second direction in the plane of the display substrate can at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of the second power line VSS in the plane of the display substrate, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0314] Figure 25 This is a schematic diagram of the appearance of a display substrate. Figure 26 This is a schematic diagram of the appearance of a display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In one display substrate, the display area includes a trace area with data fan-out lines and a normal area without data fan-out lines. The trace area includes a first data fan-out line and a second data fan-out line with different extending directions. Because the normal area has weak reflectivity, while the data fan-out lines in the trace area have strong reflectivity, and because the reflectivity of the first data fan-out line differs from that of the second data fan-out line, the appearance of the normal area and the trace area are significantly different. The appearance of the first trace area with the first data fan-out line differs from that of the second trace area with the second data fan-out line, resulting in an appearance defect in the display substrate. Figure 25 As shown in the exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, by providing compensation lines in the normal area, the first trace area, and the second trace area, with the normal area having a first compensation line and a second compensation line, the first trace area having a third compensation line, and the second trace area having a fourth compensation line, the reflection conditions of the normal area, the first trace area, and the second trace area are made substantially similar, eliminating the difference in appearance between the normal area, the first trace area, and the second trace area, and avoiding defects in the appearance of the display substrate, such as... Figure 26 As shown.
