AI Technical Summary
The high resistance of signal lines in existing display panels leads to uneven display brightness, especially in large-size display panels or those requiring high transparency. The high resistance of the signal lines results in increased voltage drop, affecting the uniformity of display brightness.
The signal lines are fabricated using a thick metal process, and the driving circuit module and pixel circuit module are integrated in the bezel display area. Electrical connection is achieved through signal adapter pads, which reduces the sheet resistance of the signal lines, increases the thickness of the signal lines, reduces voltage drop, and improves the uniformity of display brightness.
By increasing the thickness of the signal lines, reducing sheet resistance, and decreasing voltage drop, uniform brightness and a borderless effect can be achieved on the display panel.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a display panel. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, mainstream mini light-emitting diode (Mini LED) backlight products, Mini LED direct display products and micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED) direct display products are basically based on low temperature poly-silicon (English full name: Low Temperature Poly-Silicon, LTPS for short) or indium gallium zinc oxide (English full name: Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide, IGZO for short) thin film transistor (English full name: Thin Film Transistor, TFT for short) backplane. After the backplane process is completed, the anode and cathode in the pixel circuit layer for driving the light-emitting diode (English full name: light-emitting diode, LED for short) to emit light are exposed on the surface of the backplane, and then the anode and cathode of the Mini LED or Micro LED are electrically connected to the anode and cathode in the pixel circuit layer through the process of piece welding or through massive transfer and metal bonding or other bonding processes, so as to finally realize that the Mini LED or Micro LED can be actively matrix driven (English full name: Active Matrix, AM for short) through the pixel circuit layer in the backplane.
[0003] In the current backplane process, the signal line material is generally copper, molybdenum / aluminum / molybdenum or titanium / aluminum / titanium. On the one hand, the signal line made by the film forming, exposure, development and etching process through the physical vapor deposition (English full name: Physical Vapor Deposition, PVD for short) sputtering process has a very limited thickness, and the maximum thickness is about 1 um, which leads to a large square resistance of the signal line. On the other hand, in the case of a large-size display panel, or in the case of a display panel with high transparency requirement, the width of the signal line on the display panel is compressed as much as possible to improve the transmittance, and the resistance of the signal line will be large. The large resistance of the signal line will lead to an increase in the voltage drop in the display panel, resulting in a decrease in the display brightness of the display panel, and ultimately leading to uneven display brightness of the display panel.
