[0066] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore detailed descriptions of them will be omitted. Furthermore, the drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0067] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” “the,” and “at least one” are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion and to mean that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms “first,” “second,” and “third,” etc., are used only as markers and are not a limitation on the number of objects.

[0068] In this document, the row direction X and column direction Y are only two mutually perpendicular directions. In the accompanying drawings of this disclosure, the row direction X can be horizontal and the column direction Y can be vertical, but are not limited to this. If the display panel is rotated, the actual orientation of the row direction X and column direction Y may change.

[0069] In this paper, the "overlap" of features A and B means that the orthographic projections of features A and B on the substrate at least partially coincide.

[0070] The transistors in the pixel circuit disclosed herein can be N-type transistors, P-type transistors, or both. Each transistor can have a gate, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The gate controls the transistor's on / off state. The first and second terminals can be used for input and output signals. The first terminal can be the source of the transistor, and the second terminal can be the drain. However, when the transistor's operating state changes, such as when the current direction changes, the source and drain of the transistor can be interchanged.

[0071] like Figures 2-4 As shown, this disclosure provides a display panel that may include a driving backplane (BP), a light-emitting diode (LD), and an anti-reflective layer (COE), wherein:

[0072] The driving backplane BP may include a substrate SU and a circuit layer CL, a wiring layer SD2, and a first planarization layer PLN2 stacked sequentially in a direction away from the substrate SU; the circuit layer CL includes a plurality of pixel circuits PC distributed in an array; the wiring layer SD2 includes a data line DAL and a power line VDL distributed in the row direction X, and a data line DAL and a power line VDL are connected to a column of pixel circuits PC; the width of the power line VDL is greater than that of the data line DAL; the power line VDL has a plurality of vias VDH distributed in the column direction, and the vias VDH have a transition portion VDL1 on the same layer as the power line VDL and spaced apart, and a transition portion VDL1 is connected to a pixel circuit PC.

[0073] The number of light-emitting devices (LDs) is multiple, and they are arrayed on the side of the first planarization layer PLN2 away from the substrate SU and connected to the pixel circuit PC. The light-emitting device LD includes a first electrode ANO, a light-emitting layer EL, and a second electrode CAT stacked sequentially in the direction away from the substrate SU. The light-emitting device LD includes at least two light-emitting devices with different emission colors. At least some of the light-emitting devices LD overlap with the power line VDL.

[0074] The anti-reflective layer COE can be disposed on the side of the light-emitting device LD away from the substrate SU, and includes multiple arrayed filter sections CF, one filter section CF overlapping one light-emitting device LD; the color of the filter section CF is the same as the emission color of the light-emitting device LD that overlaps with it.

[0075] The display panel disclosed herein features a filter section (CF) in the anti-reflective layer (COE) that allows only monochromatic light to pass through. This reduces ambient light entering the display panel. Even if some ambient light is reflected by the light-emitting diode (LD) and pixel circuit (PC), the remaining reflected light is blocked by the filter section (CF) and cannot escape. This reduces the display panel's reflection of ambient light, effectively functioning as a circular polarizer. Consequently, the typically thick circular polarizer can be eliminated, reducing the overall thickness of the display panel. Furthermore, the first electrode (ANO) is made of a reflective material. Since the power line (VDL) is wider than the data line (DAL), and the area without the through-hole (VDH) overlaps with the light-emitting diode (LD), the first electrode (ANO) is made flatter. This prevents unevenness in the first electrode (ANO) from interfering with light propagation, thus mitigating color separation and color shift issues caused by light path interference when emanating from the anti-reflective layer (COE).

[0076] The overall architecture of the display panel disclosed herein will be described in detail below:

[0077] like Figure 1As shown, the display panel may have a display area AA and a peripheral area WA located outside the display area AA. The peripheral area WA may be a continuous or discontinuous annular area surrounding the display area AA, or it may be a semi-enclosed area. The shape of the peripheral area WA is not specifically limited here. Light-emitting devices (LDs) may be distributed in the display area AA. By emitting light from the light-emitting devices LDs, images can be displayed, while the peripheral area WA does not emit light.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving backplane BP may include a substrate SU and a circuit layer CL, a wiring layer SD2, and a first planarization layer PLN2 stacked on one side of the substrate SU, wherein:

[0079] The substrate SU can be the base for the driving backplane BP, and it can carry the circuit layer CL. The substrate SU can be a rigid or flexible structure, and it can be a single-layer or multi-layer structure, without any special limitation.

[0080] The circuit layer CL may include driving circuitry for driving the light-emitting devices (LDs) to emit light independently to display images. The driving circuitry may include pixel circuitry PC and peripheral circuitry. The pixel circuitry PC may be located within the display area AA and connected to the light-emitting devices LD. Alternatively, a portion of the pixel circuitry PC may be located within the peripheral area WA. The peripheral circuitry is located within the peripheral area WA and connected to the pixel circuitry PC. The peripheral circuitry can connect to the light-emitting devices LD via the pixel circuitry PC, applying a first power signal VDD to the first electrode ANO of the light-emitting devices LD. Simultaneously, the peripheral circuitry can also connect to the second electrode CAT of the light-emitting devices LD and apply a second power signal VSS to the second electrode CAT. By controlling the pixel circuitry PC, the current flowing through the light-emitting devices LD can be controlled, thereby controlling the brightness of the light-emitting devices LD. The peripheral circuitry may include gate driving circuitry and light-emitting control circuitry, and may also include other circuits. The specific structure of the peripheral circuitry is not specifically limited here.

[0081] Each pixel circuit PC may include multiple transistors and storage capacitors. The channels of each transistor can be arranged on the same layer and are all made of semiconductor materials such as polysilicon. A pixel circuit PC may include multiple transistors and capacitors; it can be a 3T1C, 7T1C, or other similar pixel circuit PC. nTmC indicates that one pixel circuit PC includes n transistors (represented by the letter "T") and m capacitors (represented by the letter "C"). There can be multiple pixel circuit PCs, and they can be arranged in multiple rows and columns. One pixel circuit PC can be connected to one light-emitting device (LD). Of course, it is also possible for one pixel circuit PC to be connected to multiple light-emitting devices (LDs). This article only illustrates the example of a one-to-one connection between pixel circuit PCs and light-emitting devices (LDs).

[0082] like Figure 2As shown, the wiring layer SD2 is located on the side of the circuit layer CL away from the substrate SU, and includes at least the data line DAL and the power line VDL connected to the pixel circuit PC. The wiring layer SD2 and the circuit layer CL can form a driving circuit.

[0083] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple data lines (DAL) and power lines (VDL), all extending along the column direction (Y) and distributed along the row direction (X). One data line (DAL) can connect to at least one column of pixel circuits (PC), and one power line (VDL) can also connect to at least one column of pixel circuits (PC). The data line (DAL) can input a data signal (DA) to the pixel circuit (PC), and the power line (VDL) can input a first power signal (VDD) to the pixel circuit (PC).

[0084] like Figure 2 As shown, the first planarization layer PLN2 can cover the wiring layer SD2. The material of the first planarization layer PLN2 can be a transparent resin or other organic material, and the surface of the first planarization layer PLN2 facing away from the driving backplane BP is flat so that the light-emitting device LD can be placed on it.

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, each light-emitting device (LD) can be arrayed on the surface of the first planarization layer PLN2 away from the wiring layer SD2. The light-emitting device LD can be an organic light-emitting diode, which includes a first electrode ANO, a light-emitting layer EL, and a second electrode CAT stacked along the direction away from the substrate SU, wherein:

[0086] A first electrode ANO is connected to a pixel circuit PC. The first electrode ANO serves as the anode and can be a single-layer or multi-layer structure. Its material can include one or more of conductive metals, metal oxides, and alloys. The first electrode ANO can be a light-shielding structure. For example, the first electrode ANO may include three metal layers. The material of the middle metal layer can be silver, aluminum, etc., and the material of the other two metal layers can be titanium or other metals, without special limitation.

[0087] like Figure 2As shown, the light-emitting layer EL is at least partially disposed within the opening PH, and may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting material layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer sequentially stacked along a direction away from the substrate SU. Visible light is generated by causing holes and electrons to recombine into excitons in the light-emitting material layer, and the excitons radiate photons. The specific light-emitting principle is not detailed here. The light-emitting layers EL can be arrayed, with each light-emitting device LD having an independently emitting light-emitting layer EL, allowing each light-emitting device LD to emit light independently, and different light-emitting devices LD can emit different colors. For example, there are multiple light-emitting layers EL, arrayed in each opening PH, and stacked with the first electrode ANO exposed in the opening PH. Alternatively, each light-emitting layer EL may share at least a portion of the film layer except for the light-emitting material layer, but the light-emitting material layers are independently disposed, which can also result in light-emitting devices LD with different emission colors.

[0088] like Figure 2 As shown, the second electrode CAT can cover the light-emitting layer EL, and it can serve as the cathode of the light-emitting device LD. The second electrode CAT can be a single-layer or multi-layer structure, and its material can include one or more of conductive metals, metal oxides, and alloys. Each light-emitting device LD can share the same second electrode CAT. Specifically, the second electrode CAT is a continuous conductive layer CR covering the light-emitting layer EL and the pixel definition layer PDL of each light-emitting device LD. That is, the orthogonal projection of the second electrode CAT onto the pixel definition layer PDL covers each opening PH.

[0089] like Figure 2 As shown, to define the range of each light-emitting device (LD), a pixel definition layer (PDL) can be formed on the surface of the first planarization layer PLN2 facing away from the substrate SU. The PDL can be used to separate the individual LDs, thereby preventing color crosstalk between adjacent LDs. Specifically, the PDL can have multiple openings PH, each opening PH corresponding to and exposing one of the first electrodes ANO, and the boundary of the opening PH is within the boundary of the first electrode ANO it exposes. The range defined by each opening PH is the range of one LD.

[0090] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 12 and Figure 24As shown, the first electrode ANO may include an electrode body AN1 and an electrode connection portion AN2 extending outward from the electrode body AN1. An opening PH exposes an electrode body AN1, and the boundary of the opening PH is located within the boundary of the exposed electrode body AN1. The electrode connection portion AN2 extends beyond the boundary of the opening PH and can be connected to a pixel circuit PC through a contact hole AH penetrating the first planarization layer PLN2, so that no contact hole AH is required within the range of the light-emitting device LD, thus avoiding affecting the light-emitting area. At the same time, the distance between an opening PH and the contact hole AH connected to the electrode connection portion AN2 connected to the exposed electrode body AN1 can be defined as the offset distance of the light-emitting device LD defined by the opening PH. The inventors have found that the contact hole AH and the opening PH affect the flatness of the first planarization layer PLN2, and the smaller the offset distance, the less flat the first planarization layer PLN2 around the electrode body AN1, which will cause the first electrode ANO to be uneven, thus causing problems such as color separation and color shift.

[0091] A light-emitting device (LD) may include a first light-emitting device LDb of a first color, a second light-emitting device LDR of a second color, and a third light-emitting device LDg of a third color. The first color may be blue, the second color may be red, and the third color may be green. To ensure the consistency of the lifespan of the LDs, the range of the first light-emitting device LDb (the range of the opening PHb of the first light-emitting device LDb) may be larger than that of the second light-emitting device LDR (the range of the opening PHr of the second light-emitting device LDR) and the third light-emitting device LDg (the range of the opening PHg of the third light-emitting device LDg). Increasing the size can improve the lifespan of blue light-emitting LDs with shorter lifespans. In addition, the range of the second light-emitting device LDR may be larger than that of the third light-emitting device LDg.

[0092] Each light-emitting device (LD) can be arranged into multiple device columns along the row direction X. A device column can include multiple light-emitting devices (LDs) distributed along the column direction Y. For example:

[0093] Each device column may include a first device column and a second device column that are alternately distributed along the row direction X. The first device column may include a first light-emitting device LDb and a second light-emitting device LDr that are alternately distributed along the column direction Y. The second device column includes a third light-emitting device LDg. That is, the third light-emitting device LDg is not in the same column as the first light-emitting device LDb and the second light-emitting device LDr.

[0094] like Figure 12 and Figure 24As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, each light-emitting device (LD) can be divided into multiple light-emitting units. Each light-emitting unit may include a first light-emitting device (LDb), a second light-emitting device (LDr), and two third light-emitting devices (LDg). The first and second light-emitting devices (LDb and LDr) can be distributed along the column direction Y, and the two third light-emitting devices (LDg) can be distributed along the row direction X on both sides of the first and second light-emitting devices (LDb and LDr), thus forming a quadrilateral distribution, which can be a rhombus. Adjacent light-emitting units may share some of the light-emitting devices (LDs), or they may not share them. Furthermore, in other embodiments of this disclosure, the light-emitting devices (LDs) can be arranged in other ways. No special limitation is made to their arrangement here; only the rhombus arrangement described above is used for illustration.

[0095] like Figure 2 As shown, the anti-reflective layer COE can be disposed on the side of the light-emitting device LD away from the driving backplate BP, and has multiple filter sections CF. The filter sections CF can be used to transmit monochromatic light, which can be red light, blue light, green light, etc. Each filter section CF can be overlapped with each light-emitting device LD in a one-to-one correspondence, and the colors of the overlapping light-emitting devices LD and filter sections CF are the same, that is, the color of the light emitted by the light-emitting device LD is the same as the color of the filter section CF it overlaps with. At the same time, the anti-reflective layer COE may also include a light-shielding section BM separating each filter section CF. The light-shielding section BM can be made of black resin material, or other materials can be used, as long as they can block light. Furthermore, in order to improve the light extraction efficiency and reduce the light blocking by the light-shielding section BM, the orthographic projection of the light-emitting device LD on the substrate SU can be located within the orthographic projection of the overlapping filter section CF on the substrate SU.

[0096] In addition, the display panel may also include an encapsulation layer that covers the light-emitting devices (LDs) to protect them and prevent external water and oxygen from corroding them. An anti-reflective layer (COE) may be located on the side of the encapsulation layer facing away from the substrate (SU). For example, the encapsulation layer may be implemented using a thin-film encapsulation method, and may include a first inorganic layer, an organic layer, and a second inorganic layer. The first inorganic layer covers the light-emitting devices (LDs), and the organic layer may be located on the surface of the first inorganic layer facing away from the driving backplate (BP). The boundary of the organic layer is defined inside the boundary of the first inorganic layer, and the boundary of the orthographic projection of the organic layer onto the driving backplate (BP) may be located in the peripheral region (WA), ensuring that the organic layer covers each light-emitting device (LD). The second inorganic layer may cover the organic layer and the first inorganic layer not covered by the organic layer. The second inorganic layer can block water and oxygen intrusion, and the flexible organic layer can achieve planarization.

[0097] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the display panel may further include a touch layer, which may be disposed between the anti-reflective layer COE and the encapsulation layer. The touch layer may adopt a self-capacitive or mutual-capacitive touch structure, and its specific structure is not particularly limited here, as long as it can realize the touch function. Of course, the touch layer may also be disposed on the side of the anti-reflective layer COE away from the driving backplane BP, and its specific position and process are not particularly limited here.

[0098] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the display panel may also include a transparent cover plate, which can be adhered to the anti-reflective COE layer and can achieve planarization. The transparent cover plate is used to protect the underlying film layer, and its material can be a transparent material such as glass or acrylic, without special limitation.

[0099] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display panel can be an under-display camera-enabled display panel. Its displayable area AA can include a sub-display area FA and a main display area MA located outside the sub-display area FA. Light-emitting devices (LDs) can be distributed in the main display area MA and the sub-display area FA. Pixel circuits (PCs) connecting at least some of the LDs within the sub-display area FA can be located within the main display area MA and connected to the LDs via conductive lines. This reduces the number of pixel circuits (PCs) within the sub-display area FA, increases the light transmittance of the sub-display area FA, and thus enables under-display camera-enabled images through the sub-display area FA. Of course, to accommodate more pixel circuits (PCs) within the main display area MA, the size of some pixel circuits (PCs) can be compressed, for example, by reducing the width of some pixel circuits (PCs) along the row direction X. The conductive lines can be made of transparent conductive materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO) to improve the light transmittance of the sub-display area FA and can extend from the sub-display area FA to the main display area MA. The lengths of different conductive lines can vary. The conductive lines can be located in the circuit layer CL or between the driving backplane BP and the LDs. This paper only illustrates the case where the conductive lines are located in the circuit layer CL.

[0100] The structure of the pixel circuit PC of this disclosure is illustrated below:

[0101] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 5 As shown, the pixel circuit PC can be a 7T1C structure, that is, it can have 7 transistors and 1 capacitor, namely the first reset transistor T1, the compensation transistor T2, the driving transistor T3, the writing transistor T4, the first light-emitting control transistor T5, the second light-emitting control transistor T6, the second reset transistor T7, and the storage capacitor Cst.

[0102] like Figure 5As shown, the first terminal of the first reset transistor T1 is connected to the first reset signal line VIL1 to receive the first reset signal Vinit1, and the second terminal is connected to the gate of the driving transistor T3 and the first plate of the storage capacitor Cst.

[0103] The first terminal of the compensation transistor T2 is connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T3, and the second terminal is connected to the gate of the driving transistor T3.

[0104] The first terminal of the write transistor T4 is connected to the data line DAL to receive the data signal DA, and the second terminal is connected to the first terminal of the drive transistor T3.

[0105] The first terminal of the first light-emitting control transistor T5 and the second terminal of the storage capacitor Cst are connected to the power line VDL to receive the first power signal VDD. The second terminal is connected to the first terminal of the driving transistor T3.

[0106] The first electrode of the second light-emitting control transistor T6 is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T3, and the second electrode is connected to the first electrode ANO of a light-emitting device LD.

[0107] The first electrode of the second reset transistor T7 is connected to the second reset signal line VIL2 to receive the second reset signal Vinit2, and the second electrode is connected to the second electrode of the second light-emitting control transistor T6. The second electrode CAT of the light-emitting device LD can receive the second power supply signal VSS.

[0108] Simultaneously, to control the on / off state of each transistor, the gate of the first reset transistor T1 is connected to the first reset control line REL1 to input the first reset control signal RE1, and the gate of the second reset transistor T7 is connected to the second reset control line REL2 to input the second reset control signal RE2. The gates of the compensation transistor T2 and the write transistor T4 are connected to the scan line GL to input the scan signal GA, and the gates of the first light-emitting control transistor T5 and the second light-emitting control transistor T6 are connected to the light-emitting control line EML to input the light-emitting control signal EM. This pixel circuit PC can be used to drive the connected light-emitting device LD to emit light in response to the signals provided by the connected signal terminals.

[0109] Furthermore, transistors can be classified into N-type and P-type transistors based on their characteristics. This disclosure uses an example where all transistors are P-type. Based on the description and teachings of this disclosure, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of using at least some N-type transistors in the pixel circuit PC structure of this disclosure, i.e., using N-type transistors or a combination of N-type and P-type transistors, without any inventive effort. Therefore, these implementations are also within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0110] The following explanation uses the example of a pixel circuit PC where all transistors are P-type low-temperature polysilicon transistors to illustrate its working principle:

[0111] During the reset phase: the first reset control signal RE1 is a low-level signal, the first reset transistor T1 is turned on, the gate of the driving transistor T3 and the first plate of the storage capacitor Cst are written with the reset signal Vinit1, the N1 node is initialized, and the influence of the data of the previous frame image is eliminated.

[0112] During the writing phase: A low-level scan signal GA turns on the writing transistor T4 and the compensation transistor T2, writing the data signal DA to the gate of the driving transistor T3 and the first plate Cst1 of the storage capacitor Cst. This data signal DA is written to the N1 node via nodes N3 and N2 until the potential reaches Vdata + Vth. Here, Vdata is the voltage of the data signal DA, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3. The scan signal GA for the writing transistor T4 and the compensation transistor T2 can be the same signal. Simultaneously, a low-level second reset control signal RE2 turns on the second reset transistor T7. The first electrode ANO of the light-emitting device LD and the second electrode of the second light-emitting control transistor T6 are written with the second reset signal Vinit2, resetting node N4 and initializing it, further eliminating the influence of the previous frame's data.

[0113] During the light-emitting stage: the light-emitting control signal EM is a low-level signal, the first light-emitting control transistor T5 and the second light-emitting control transistor T6 are turned on, and the driving transistor T3 is turned on under the action of the voltage Vdata+Vth stored in the storage capacitor Cst and the first power supply signal VDD. At this time, the light-emitting device LD emits light.

[0114] The following section will use the aforementioned 7T1C pixel circuit as an example to explain in detail the driving backplane BP:

[0115] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transistors and capacitors of the pixel circuit PC are both located in the circuit layer CL. Taking the top-gate type low-temperature polysilicon transistor as an example, the circuit layer CL may include a semiconductor layer SEL, a first gate insulating layer GI1, a first gate layer GAT1, a second gate insulating layer GI2, a second gate layer GAT2, a dielectric layer ILD, a source / drain layer SD1, a passivation layer PVX, and a second planarization layer PLN1 distributed along a direction away from the substrate SU.

[0116] like Figure 6 and Figure 18As shown, the semiconductor layer SEL may include the channels of each transistor (T1-T7) and doped regions that connect at least part of the channels, through which the connection of some transistors can be realized.

[0117] like Figure 7 , Figure 13 , Figure 19 and Figure 25 As shown, the first gate layer GAT1 may include the first plate Cst1 of the storage capacitor Cst, a scan line GL, a first reset control line REL1, a second reset control line REL2, and a light emission control line EML. The area where the scan line GL overlaps with the semiconductor layer SEL is the gate of the write transistor T4 and the compensation transistor T2. The area where the first reset control line REL1 overlaps with the semiconductor layer SEL is the gate of the first reset transistor T1. The area where the second reset control line REL2 overlaps with the semiconductor layer SEL is the gate of the second reset transistor T7. The area where the light emission control line EML overlaps with the semiconductor layer SEL is the gate of the first light emission control transistor T5 and the second light emission control transistor T6. The area where the first plate Cst1 overlaps with the semiconductor layer SEL is the gate of the drive transistor T3, that is, the first plate Cst1 is multiplexed as the gate of the drive transistor T3. Among them, there are two overlapping areas where the scan line GL and the semiconductor layer SEL are interconnected, forming two channels in series, which are the channels of the compensation transistor T2.

[0118] In addition, the second reset control line REL2 connected to the nth row pixel circuit PC can be reused as the first reset control line REL1 connected to the (n+1)th row pixel circuit PC, so that when the nth row pixel circuit PC is in the reset phase, the (n+1)th row pixel circuit PC can reset the light-emitting device LD, thereby improving working efficiency.

[0119] like Figure 8 , Figure 14 , Figure 20 and 26As shown, the second gate layer GAT2 may include a second electrode Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst, a first reset signal line VIL1, and a second reset signal line VIL2. The first reset signal line VIL1 and the second reset signal line VIL2 extend along the row direction X and are distributed along the column direction Y. The second electrode Cst2 is located between the first reset signal line VIL1 and the second reset signal line VIL2. The second electrode Cst2 overlaps with the first electrode Cst1 and has an opening. The orthogonal projection of the first electrode Cst1 onto the substrate SU can cover the orthogonal projection of the opening onto the substrate SU. Furthermore, the second gate layer GAT2 may also include a shielding block BL1. At least a portion of the shielding block BL1 overlaps with the semiconductor layer SEL between the two channels of the compensation transistor T2, thereby shielding the compensation transistor T2 and preventing changes in its electrical characteristics due to light exposure. Additionally, the shielding block BL1 can be connected to the power line VDL, which serves two purposes: firstly, it acts as a signal shield to prevent interference from other signals to the compensation transistor T2; secondly, it reduces the impedance of the power line VDL.

[0120] like Figure 9 , Figure 15 , Figure 21 and Figure 27 As shown, the source / drain layer SD1 may include multiple connection portions, including a first connection portion SDL1 and a second connection portion SDL2. The first connection portion SDL1 can connect to the first reset transistor T1 and the first reset signal line VIL1 via a via. The second connection portion SDL2 can connect to the compensation transistor T2 and the first electrode plate Cst1 via a via, and the via connecting the compensation transistor T2 and the first electrode plate Cst1 passes through the opening of the second electrode plate Cst2, thereby connecting the second electrode of the compensation transistor T2 and the gate of the driving transistor T3. Furthermore, for a pixel circuit and its connected data line DAL, the second connection portion SDL2 can extend along the column direction Y, and the gate of the second connection portion SDL2 and the driving transistor T3 are located on the same side of the data line DAL.

[0121] To prevent the data signal on the data line DAL from interfering with the gate of the driving transistor T3 through the second connection portion SDL2, the second gate layer GAT2 may further include a shielding block BL2, which is at least partially located between the data line DAL and the second connection portion SDL2. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the shielding block BL2 onto the substrate SU is at least partially located between the orthographic projections of the data line DAL and the second connection portion SDL2 onto the substrate SU. Simultaneously, the shielding block BL2 can be connected to the power line VDL, thereby shielding the data signal on the data line DAL from interfering with the gate signal of the driving transistor T3 by inputting a constant first power supply signal to the shielding block BL2.

[0122] The blocking block BL1 and shielding block BL2 of two adjacent pixel circuits PC can be an integral structure, or they can be independent structures that are spaced apart.

[0123] The second planarization layer PLN1 can be disposed on the side of the source / drain layer SD1 away from the substrate SU.

[0124] In addition, such as Figure 10 , Figure 15 , Figure 22 and Figure 27 As shown, the circuit layer CL may also include a conductive layer CR and an insulating layer EBB. The conductive layer CR may be disposed on the surface of the passivation layer PVX away from the substrate SU, and the insulating layer EBB may cover the conductive layer CR. The second planarization layer PLN1 may cover the insulating layer EBB. The material of the insulating layer EBB may be an inorganic material such as silicon nitride, or an organic insulating material. The conductive lines connecting the main display area MA and the sub-display area FA are located in the conductive layer CR. Simultaneously, the conductive layer CR may also include multiple overlapping portions CR1 located in the display area AA. The overlapping portions CR1 are spaced apart from the conductive lines. A pixel circuit PC can be connected to the power line VDL through an overlapping portion CR1, thus serving as a transfer mechanism. The material of the conductive layer CR may be a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide to reduce the impact of the conductive lines on the light transmittance of the sub-display area FA.

[0125] like Figure 11 , Figure 16 , Figure 23 and Figure 28 As shown, the wiring layer SD2 can be disposed on the surface of the first planarization layer PLN2 away from the substrate SU. The inventors discovered that the wiring layer SD2 is not a continuous, whole-layer structure; its pattern affects the flatness of the surface of the first planarization layer PLN2 away from the substrate SU. This, in turn, directly affects the flatness of the first electrode ANO of the light-emitting device LD. If the flatness of the first electrode ANO is low, it will affect the optical path of the reflected light, easily leading to color separation and color shift display defects after emission from the anti-reflective layer COE. To solve this problem, the inventors proposed that the width of the power line VDL be greater than that of the data line DAL, and that it overlap with at least part of the light-emitting device LD. This allows the power line VDL to at least flatten the area of ​​the first electrode ANO within the opening pH range, improving the flatness of the first electrode ANO within the opening pH range, thereby improving display abnormalities such as color separation and color shift.

[0126] The power line VDL is wider than the data line DAL, thus increasing the area of ​​the power line VDL, which helps to flatten the first electrode ANO. The following is an exemplary illustration of the scheme for flattening the first electrode ANO using the power line VDL:

[0127] like Figure 3 ,Figure 12 and Figure 17 As shown, in the first embodiment of this disclosure, the data lines DAL and power lines VDL are alternately distributed along the row direction X, with only one power line VDL between two adjacent data lines DAL. In this embodiment, two adjacent pixel circuits PC in the row direction X can be obtained by translating the pixel circuit PC along the row direction X.

[0128] A row of light-emitting devices (LDs) can be placed between two adjacent data lines (DALs). That is, there is only one row of light-emitting devices (LDs) (with an opening PH) projected onto the substrate SU between the orthogonal projections of two adjacent data lines (DALs). It should be noted that for a row of light-emitting devices (LDs), as long as more than 80% of its area is between the two data lines (DALs), it can be considered to be located between the two data lines (DALs), not necessarily completely in front of the two data lines (DALs). It can overlap with the data lines (DALs) to a certain extent.

[0129] A power line VDL overlaps with a row of light-emitting devices (LDs). Among the overlapping LDs and power lines VDL, at least a portion of the boundaries of the LDs lie within the boundaries of the power lines VDL they overlap with. That is, the orthogonal projection of the openings PH of at least a portion of the LDs onto the substrate SU lies within the boundaries of the power lines VDL. Therefore, the power lines VDL can at least flatten the first electrode ANO within the opening PH area. Alternatively, the boundaries of at least a portion of the first electrode ANO can be made within the boundaries of the power lines VDL to further improve the flatness of the first electrode ANO.

[0130] Furthermore, the light-emitting devices (LDs) of a device array can overlap with a power line (VDL). For example, the boundary of at least one of the second light-emitting devices (LDr) and the third light-emitting device (LDg) is located within the boundary of the power line (VDL) with which it overlaps. For example, the boundaries of the second light-emitting device (LDr) and the third light-emitting device (LDg) are both located within the boundary of the power line (VDL) with which they overlap, while the range of the first light-emitting device (LDb) is larger. It can extend beyond the boundary of the power line (VDL) with which it overlaps and overlap with the data line (DAL), but the area extending beyond it is no more than 20% of the first light-emitting device (LDb).

[0131] To facilitate the connection between the light-emitting device (LD) and the pixel circuit (PC), the power line VDL can be provided with multiple through holes VDH distributed along the column direction Y. The through holes VDH are provided with adapter portions VDL1 on the same layer as the power line VDL and spaced apart. One adapter portion VDL1 can be connected to a lap portion CR1 and connected to a pixel circuit PC through the lap portion CR1, thereby connecting a first electrode ANO to a pixel circuit PC.

[0132] like Figure 4 , Figure 24 andFigure 29 As shown, in the second embodiment of this disclosure, the data lines DAL can be divided into multiple data line DAL groups, and a data line group DAS includes two data lines DAL. Similarly, the power lines VDL can be divided into multiple power line groups VDS, and a power line group VDS includes two power lines VDL. Furthermore, the two power lines VDL within the same power line group VDS can be a single integrated structure, and the range of one power line group VDS is equivalent to the sum of the ranges of the two power line VDLs. Simultaneously, the data line groups DAS and power line groups VDS can be alternately distributed along the row direction X, with one data line group DAS located between two adjacent power line groups VDS. To match the integrated structure of the power line groups VDS, the two columns of pixel circuits PC connected to the two power lines VDL of one power line group VDS can be symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the two power lines VDL. Symmetrical arrangement means that the patterns of each film layer of the pixel circuit PC are mirror-image distributed about the central axis.

[0133] Because the power line group VDS has two integrated power lines VDL, the area is increased, allowing at least part of the light-emitting device (LD) boundary to be located within the boundary of the power line group VDL. This increased power line VDL helps to level the first electrode ANO of the LD, thus improving display anomalies such as color shift and color separation. Simultaneously, due to the distribution of the LDs, some LDs can overlap with the data line group DAL.

[0134] Furthermore, in some device columns, the light-emitting diodes (LDs) overlap with a power line group (VDL), and in others, they overlap with a data line group (DAS). For example, at most one of the second light-emitting diode (LDr) and the third light-emitting diode (LDg) overlaps with the data line group (DAL). Furthermore, the boundary of the light-emitting diode (LD) in the first device column may be located within the boundary of the power line group (VDL) it overlaps with, and the light-emitting diode (LD) in the second device column may overlap with the data line group (DAL).

[0135] In two columns of pixel circuits PC connected by the same power line group VDS, the blocking blocks BL1 of adjacent columns of pixel circuit PCs are a single structure, and the shielding blocks BL2 of adjacent columns of pixel circuit PCs can also be a single structure. Of course, they can also be independent and spaced apart.

[0136] Furthermore, to facilitate the connection between the light-emitting device (LD) and the pixel circuit (PC), multiple through-holes (VDHs) distributed along the column direction Y can be formed in each power line VDL group. Each through-hole VDH can contain a transition part VDL1 at the same layer as the power line VDL and spaced apart. One transition part VDL1 can be connected to one pixel circuit PC. The third light-emitting device (LDg) in the second device column overlaps with part of the through-holes VDH, in addition to overlapping with the data line group DAS.

[0137] The inventors also discovered that since openings in the first planarization layer PLN2 affect the flatness around the openings, if the distance between the contact hole AH connecting the first electrode ANO and the overlapping portion CR1 and the opening PH is too close, i.e., the offset distance defined above is too small, it will affect the flatness of the area where the first electrode ANO is located within the opening PH. Therefore, based on the first and second embodiments described above, the inventors, through experiments and analysis, limited the offset distance. For example:

[0138] like Figure 3 , Figure 12 and Figure 17 As shown, in the first embodiment described above, the offset distance Sb of the first light-emitting device LDb is 2.9μm-3μm, for example, 2.93μm; the offset distance of the second light-emitting device LDr is 6.5μm-6.6μm, for example, 6.56μm; and the offset distance Sg of the third light-emitting device LDg is 5.2μm-5.3μm, for example, 5.24μm. Furthermore, in the same light-emitting unit, the distance Sbg between the first light-emitting device LDb and the third light-emitting device LDg is smaller than the distance Srg between the second light-emitting device LDr and the third light-emitting device LDg.

[0139] like Figure 4 , Figure 24 and Figure 29 As shown, for the second embodiment described above, the offset distance Sb of the first light-emitting device LDb is 9μm-11μm, for example 10μm; the offset distance Sr of the second light-emitting device LDr is 15μm-17μm, for example 16μm; and the offset distance Sg of the third light-emitting device LDg is 6μm-8μm, for example 7μm.

[0140] This disclosure also provides a display device, which may include the display panel of any of the above embodiments. Its specific structure and beneficial effects can be referred to the embodiments of the display panel described above, and will not be repeated here. The display device of this disclosure can be a smartwatch, a wristband, or, of course, can also be used in mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices with display functions, which will not be listed here.
