[0050] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure. The display panel described in the embodiments of this disclosure includes a driving circuit disposed on a substrate and signal lines providing signals to the driving circuit;

[0051] The signal line includes at least two main sub-signal lines; each main sub-signal line includes a first end and a second end.

[0052] The first ends of the at least two main body sub-signal lines are electrically connected to each other, and the second ends of the at least two main body sub-signal lines are electrically connected to each other.

[0053] N of the at least two main body sub-signal lines are directly electrically connected to the driving circuit to provide signals to the driving circuit; the N main body sub-signal lines are direct-connected main body sub-signal lines, and the main body sub-signal lines other than the direct-connected main body sub-signal lines among the at least two main body sub-signal lines are non-direct-connected main body sub-signal lines. The non-direct-connected main body sub-signal lines are not directly electrically connected to the driving circuit, but are electrically connected to the driving circuit through the direct-connected main body sub-signal lines.

[0054] N is a positive integer, and N is less than the number of main sub-signal lines included in the signal line. In this embodiment, by including at least two main sub-signal lines connected in parallel, the resistance of the signal line can be reduced; and N main sub-signal lines are directly electrically connected to the driving circuit to provide signals to the driving circuit, where N is less than the number of main sub-signal lines included in the signal line, and the N main sub-signal lines are directly connected main sub-signal lines; non-directly connected main sub-signal lines are not directly electrically connected to the driving circuit, but are electrically connected to the driving circuit through the directly connected main sub-signal lines. Therefore, the capacitance of the main sub-signal lines not directly connected to the driving circuit is negligible, and the RC delay of the main sub-signal lines not directly connected to the driving circuit is extremely small. Thus, the waveform of the signal on the main sub-signal lines not directly connected to the driving circuit is essentially undistorted.

[0055] Optionally, the signal line is an AC signal line; for example, the signal line can be a clock signal line, but is not limited thereto.

[0056] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the driving circuit may be a circuit that provides control signals to the pixel circuit; the control signals may be, for example, gate driving signals, light emission control signals, or reset control signals, but are not limited thereto.

[0057] In practice, the driving circuit may be located on the side of the display panel, but is not limited thereto.

[0058] When the signal line is a clock signal line, and the display panel uses the clock signal line, and the driving circuit is a gate driving circuit, the rise time and fall time of the clock signal on the clock signal line and the gate driving signal output by the gate driving circuit are significantly reduced. For example, at the far end of the clock signal line, the rise time of the clock signal can be reduced from 2.87us to 1.49us, the fall time of the clock signal can be reduced from 3.13us to 1.63us, the rise time of the gate driving signal can be reduced from 5.97us to 3.94us, and the fall time of the gate driving signal can be reduced from 5.37us to 3.64us. At the near end of the clock signal line, the rise time of the clock signal can be reduced from 1.2us to 0.58us, the fall time of the clock signal can be reduced from 1.3us to 0.63us, the rise time of the gate driving signal can be reduced from 1.81us to 1.77us, and the fall time of the gate driving signal can be reduced from 1.70us to 1.67us.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, at least one embodiment of the gate drive circuit may include an input circuit 11, a reset circuit 12, an energy storage and output circuit 13, and a pull-down control circuit 14.

[0060] The input circuit 11 is electrically connected to the input terminal I1 and the pull-up node P1, and is used to control the potential of the pull-up node P1 according to the input signal provided by the input terminal I1.

[0061] The reset circuit 12 is electrically connected to the reset terminal R1, the pull-up node P1 and the low voltage terminal V0 respectively, and is used to respond to the reset signal provided by the reset terminal R1.

[0062] The energy storage and output circuit 13 is electrically connected to the pull-up node P1, the pull-down node P2, the clock signal line K, and the gate drive signal output terminal O1, respectively. It is used to control the output of the gate drive signal of O1 according to the clock signal provided by the clock signal line K under the control of the potential of P1 and the potential of P2. The pull-down control circuit 14 is electrically connected to the pull-up node P1, the pull-down node P2, and the low voltage terminal V0, respectively. It is used to control the potential of P2 under the control of the potential of P1.

[0063] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, at least one embodiment of the energy storage and output circuit may include a capacitor C1 and an output transistor T1;

[0064] The gate of T1 is electrically connected to the pull-up node P1, the source of T1 is electrically connected to the clock signal line K, and the drain of T1 is electrically connected to the gate drive signal output terminal O1.

[0065] The first end of C1 is electrically connected to the pull-up node P1, and the second end of C2 is electrically connected to the gate drive signal output terminal O1.

[0066] exist Figure 2 In at least one embodiment shown, T1 is an n-type thin-film transistor, but is not limited thereto. Figure 2 In at least one embodiment of the energy storage and output circuit shown, when the input circuit completes its operation, C1 completes energy storage, causing the potential of P1 to increase and T1 to turn on. At this time, the potential of the clock signal provided by K is low, so O1 has no output. At the next moment, when the potential of the clock signal provided by K is high, O1 outputs a high voltage because T1 is turned on, and the potential of P1 becomes even higher due to the bootstrap effect of C1.

[0067] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the signal line can be a clock signal line. In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the RC (resistance-capacitance) delay of the signal line can be reduced, and the distortion of the signal transmitted on the signal line can be improved. Therefore, the clock signal output at the far end of the clock signal line can be made distorted, thereby greatly reducing the fall time Tf of the signal output by the shift register unit that is electrically connected to the far end of the clock signal line, and improving the charging time.

[0068] When the driving circuit is a gate driving circuit and the signal output by the driving circuit is a gate driving signal, if the fall time of the gate driving signal is large, the next-stage shift register unit in the gate driving circuit will output a valid gate driving signal to control the charging of the corresponding row pixel circuit. At the same time, the previous-stage shift register unit in the gate driving circuit may also output a valid gate driving signal, which may lead to misdisplay by the display device. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem of the large fall time Tf of the signal output by the shift register unit.

[0069] In related technologies, for small and medium-sized display products, the method to reduce the fall time Tf of the signal output by the driver circuit is to increase the aspect ratio of T1. However, as the size of display products increases and the resolution and refresh rate also gradually improve, on the one hand, it is necessary to design the aspect ratio of T1 to be very large, reaching 10000 / 3.5 or higher. On the other hand, a large aspect ratio places a large load on the clock signal line. The load of the clock signal line includes both resistance and capacitance. The larger the display product size and the longer the trace, the greater the resistance for the same trace width. Besides the overlapping capacitance of the signal lines, a large portion of the capacitance of the clock signal line is the parasitic capacitance Cgs of T1. The larger the aspect ratio of T1, the larger Cgs, and thus the larger the capacitance of the clock signal line. Therefore, in related technologies, the RC delay of the clock signal line causes waveform distortion of the clock signal on the clock signal line. Since the driver circuit outputs a clock signal, this waveform distortion will increase the fall time Tf of the signal output by the driver circuit. Even if the aspect ratio of T1 is increased infinitely, the effect of reducing Tf is still not significant. Based on this, the present disclosure provides a display panel that can reduce the RC delay of the signal line and improve the distortion of the signal transmitted on the signal line. Therefore, the clock signal output at the far end of the clock signal line can be made distorted, thereby greatly reducing the fall time Tf of the signal output by the shift register unit that is electrically connected to the far end of the clock signal line and improving the charging time.

[0070] Optionally, the angle between the extension directions of the two main sub-signal lines can be less than a predetermined angle. In specific implementations, the angle between the extension directions of the two main sub-signal lines is less than the predetermined angle so that the two main sub-signal lines are approximately parallel, but this is not a limitation.

[0071] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the predetermined angle can be selected according to actual conditions. For example, the predetermined angle can be 2 degrees, but it is not limited thereto.

[0072] In actual operation, when the two main sub-signal lines are formed on the same conductive layer, the two main sub-signal lines do not need to overlap.

[0073] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the conductive layer may be a gate metal layer or a source / drain metal layer, but is not limited thereto.

[0074] In specific implementation, the longest distance between the first ends of any two main sub-signal lines is less than a first predetermined distance;

[0075] The longest distance between the second ends of any two main body sub-signal lines is less than a second predetermined distance. In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the first predetermined distance and the second predetermined distance can be selected according to actual conditions, so that the distance between the first ends of any two main body sub-signal lines is relatively close, and the distance between the second ends of any two main body sub-signal lines is relatively close.

[0076] Optionally, the first ends of two main body sub-signal lines can be electrically connected through a first connecting wire, and the second ends of two main body sub-signal lines can be electrically connected through a second connecting wire. In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the longest distance between the first ends of any two main body sub-signal lines is set to be less than a first predetermined distance, and the longest distance between the second ends of any two main body sub-signal lines is set to be less than a second predetermined distance, so that the length of the first connecting wire is shorter and the length of the second connecting wire is shorter, so as to facilitate wiring and avoid the situation where it is necessary to provide vias due to the long length of the first connecting wire and the long length of the second connecting wire, which would require overlapping with other signal lines formed on the same layer.

[0077] Optionally, the at least two main sub-signal lines are formed on the same conductive layer; or, the at least two main sub-signal lines are formed on different conductive layers.

[0078] In specific implementation, the at least two main sub-signal lines can be formed on the same conductive layer, for example, they can both be formed on the gate metal layer; or, the at least two main sub-signal lines can be formed on different conductive layers, for example, some of the main sub-signal lines can be formed on the first gate metal layer, and another part of the main sub-signal lines can be formed on the second gate metal layer.

[0079] However, this is not the limit.

[0080] Optionally, the display panel may further include connecting lines, each of which is electrically connected to the driving circuit.

[0081] The connecting line and the direct-connection main body sub-signal line can be formed on different conductive layers; the connecting line is electrically connected to the direct-connection main body sub-signal line through a via, and different connecting lines formed on the same layer do not overlap.

[0082] The connecting line can be formed on the first conductive layer, and the main body sub-signal line can be formed on the second conductive layer. An insulating layer can be provided between the first and second conductive layers. The connecting line can be electrically connected to the directly connected main body sub-signal line through a via penetrating the insulating layer. In a specific implementation, other components and lines may be provided on the second conductive layer between the directly connected main body sub-signal line and the driving circuit. Therefore, in order to avoid short circuits, the electrical connection between the directly connected main body sub-signal line and the driving circuit needs to be completed through the connecting line provided on the first conductive layer.

[0083] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the signal line includes A main sub-signal lines; the signal line may also include M auxiliary sub-signal lines; the a-th main sub-signal line corresponds to the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line; A is an integer greater than 1, M is a positive integer; a is a positive integer less than or equal to A, and m is a positive integer less than or equal to M;

[0084] The a-th main sub-signal line is electrically connected to the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line. The a-th main sub-signal line and the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line are formed on different conductive layers. The orthographic projection of the a-th main sub-signal line on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line on the substrate at least partially overlap.

[0085] In a specific implementation, the signal line may include not only A main sub-signal lines but also M auxiliary sub-signal lines, where M may be less than or equal to A. The a-th main sub-signal line corresponds to the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line. The a-th main sub-signal line is electrically connected to the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line through at least two connecting vias. The a-th main sub-signal line and the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line are formed on different conductive layers, and the orthographic projection of the a-th main sub-signal line on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line on the substrate are set to at least partially overlap to increase the film thickness of the signal line, thereby further reducing the resistance of the signal line.

[0086] Optionally, the maximum distance between the orthographic projection of one of the at least two connecting vias on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the first end of the a-th main sub-signal line on the substrate is less than a first predetermined distance; the maximum distance between the orthographic projection of the other connecting via on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second end of the a-th main sub-signal line on the substrate is less than the first predetermined distance, so that the a-th main sub-signal line can form a parallel connection with the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line, further reducing the resistance of the signal line. In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the first predetermined distance can be selected according to actual conditions, so that one of the at least two connecting vias is close to the first end of the a-th main sub-signal line, and the other connecting via is close to the second end of the a-th main sub-signal line.

[0087] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the orthographic projection of the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line on the substrate may be within the orthographic projection of the a-th main sub-signal line on the substrate, but is not limited thereto.

[0088] Optionally, the auxiliary sub-signal line includes multiple auxiliary line portions, which are electrically connected to the corresponding main sub-signal line through at least two vias. The orthographic projection of the auxiliary line portion on the substrate is within the orthographic projection of the corresponding main sub-signal line on the substrate, so as to better reduce the resistance of the signal line.

[0089] In a specific implementation, the auxiliary line portion may include a third end and a fourth end;

[0090] The maximum distance between the orthogonal projection of one of the at least two vias on the substrate and the orthogonal projection of the third end of the auxiliary line portion on the substrate is less than a second predetermined distance; the maximum distance between the orthogonal projection of the other of the at least two vias on the substrate and the orthogonal projection of the fourth end of the auxiliary line portion on the substrate is less than the second predetermined distance, so that the a-th main sub-signal line can form a parallel relationship with the m-th auxiliary sub-signal line, further reducing the resistance of the signal line.

[0091] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the third predetermined distance may be selected according to actual conditions, such that one of the at least two vias is close to the third end of the auxiliary line portion, and the other of the at least two vias is close to the fourth end of the auxiliary line portion.

[0092] In practice, the extension direction of the auxiliary line can be the same as or approximately the same as the extension direction of the corresponding main sub-signal line.

[0093] For example, when the extension direction of the auxiliary line and the extension direction of the corresponding main sub-signal line are both vertical, the first end and the third end can be the lower end, and the second end and the fourth end can be the upper end, but this is not a limitation.

[0094] The fact that the extension direction of the auxiliary line is approximately the same as the extension direction of the corresponding main sub-signal line means that the angle between the extension direction of the auxiliary line and the extension direction of the corresponding main sub-signal line is less than a predetermined angle.

[0095] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, a gap may be provided between two adjacent auxiliary line portions of the same auxiliary sub-signal line;

[0096] The display panel also includes connecting lines; the connecting lines are electrically connected to the direct-connect main body sub-signal lines through vias, and different connecting lines formed on the same layer do not overlap.

[0097] The connecting line and the auxiliary sub-signal line are formed on the same conductive layer;

[0098] The connecting wire passes through a portion of the gap and is electrically connected to the drive circuit.

[0099] In practical implementation, since the connecting line and the auxiliary sub-signal line need not overlap to avoid signal output confusion, a gap can be provided between two adjacent auxiliary line portions of the same auxiliary sub-signal line so that the connecting line can pass through part of the gap and electrically connect to the driving circuit. Optionally, the display panel of at least one embodiment of this disclosure may include a driving circuit; the driving circuit and the signal line are both disposed on a first side of the substrate, or the driving circuit and the signal line are both disposed on a second side of the substrate.

[0100] The first side and the second side are opposite sides.

[0101] In a specific implementation, the signal line can be located on the side of the driving circuit away from the display area; or, the signal line can be located between the driving circuit and the display area.

[0102] In a specific implementation, the signal line may include a first clock signal line and a second clock signal line; the display panel includes a driving circuit, and the driving circuit, the first clock signal line and the second clock signal line are disposed on the same side of the display panel;

[0103] The first clock signal line includes a first main body sub-signal line and a second main body sub-signal line, and the second clock signal line includes a third main body sub-signal line and a fourth main body sub-signal line;

[0104] The driving circuit includes a multi-stage shift register unit;

[0105] The first end of the first main body sub-signal line and the first end of the second main body sub-signal line can be electrically connected by a wire, and the second end of the first main body sub-signal line and the second end of the second main body sub-signal line can be electrically connected by a wire. The resistance of the first clock signal line is reduced by connecting the first main body sub-signal line and the second main body sub-signal line in parallel.

[0106] The first end of the third main body sub-signal line and the first end of the fourth main body sub-signal line can be electrically connected by a wire, and the second end of the third main body sub-signal line and the second end of the fourth main body sub-signal line can be electrically connected by a wire. The resistance of the second clock signal line is reduced by connecting the third main body sub-signal line and the fourth main body sub-signal line in parallel.

[0107] The first main body sub-signal line is directly electrically connected to the odd-numbered shift register unit, and the third main body sub-signal line is directly electrically connected to the even-numbered shift register unit.

[0108] The second main body sub-signal line is not directly electrically connected to the shift register unit, and the fourth main body sub-signal line is not directly electrically connected to the shift register unit. This ensures that the parasitic capacitance on the second and fourth main body sub-signal lines is very small. Therefore, the clock signal output at the far end of the clock signal line can be kept undistorted. Consequently, the fall time Tf of the signal output by the shift register unit electrically connected to the far end of the clock signal line is greatly reduced, improving the charging time. Figure 3A As shown, the display panel described in at least one embodiment of this disclosure includes a first driving circuit, a first clock signal line K1, and a second clock signal line K2. The first driving circuit, the first clock signal line K1, and the second clock signal line K2 are all disposed on the left side of the substrate.

[0111] The first end of K21 is the lower end of K21, and the second end of K21 is the upper end of K21;

[0112] The first end of K22 is the lower end of K22, and the second end of K22 is the upper end of K22; the first end of K11 is electrically connected to the first end of K12 through a wire, and the second end of K11 is electrically connected to the second end of K12 through a wire.

[0113] The first end of K11 is electrically connected to the first end of K12 via a wire, and the second end of K11 is electrically connected to the second end of K12 via a wire.

[0114] exist Figure 3A In at least one embodiment shown, K1 and K2 are disposed on the side of the first driving circuit away from the display area;

[0115] exist Figure 3A In at least one embodiment shown, the line labeled V1 is a low-voltage line, and the line labeled S0 is a start signal line. The signal lines include a first clock signal line K1 and a second clock signal line K2. Figure 3A As shown, K11 is directly electrically connected to S1 and SP-1 to provide the first clock signal for S1 and SP-1; K21 is directly electrically connected to S2 and SP to provide the second clock signal for S2 and SP.

[0116] V1 is electrically connected to S1, S2, SP-1 and SP, and is used to provide low voltage signals to S1, S2, SP-1 and SP;

[0117] S0 is electrically connected to S1 and is used to provide a start signal to S1.

[0118] exist Figure 3A In at least one of the embodiments shown, the first driving circuit is a first gate driving circuit, and the signal provided by the first driving circuit is a gate driving signal, but is not limited thereto.

[0119] Furthermore, in Figure 3A In at least one embodiment shown, the first end is the proximal end and the second end is the distal end. The proximal end can be a terminal of the signal line that is closer to the driver chip, and the distal end can be a terminal of the signal line that is farther from the driver chip.

[0120] like Figure 3A As shown, the driver chip 40 can be disposed on the lower side of the display panel. The driver chip 40 is used to provide a first clock signal for K1 and a second clock signal for K2. Figure 3AIn the diagram, P11 is the first row pixel circuit located in display area A0, P12 is the second row pixel circuit located in display area A0, P103 is the (P-1)th row pixel circuit located in display area A0, and P104 is the Pth row pixel circuit located in display area A0; S1 provides a gate drive signal for P11, S2 provides a gate drive signal for P12, SP-1 provides a gate drive signal for P103, and SP provides a gate drive signal for P104.

Figure 3B It can be seen that O0 has a short descent time.

[0122] In this disclosure Figure 3A In at least one embodiment shown, each clock signal line includes two main sub-signal lines, one of which is not directly electrically connected to the drive circuit. The parasitic capacitance on the main sub-signal line is very small, so the clock signal output at the far end of the clock signal line can be made distorted. As a result, the fall time Tf of the gate drive signal output by the shift register unit electrically connected to the far end of the clock signal line is greatly reduced, thereby improving the charging time.

[0123] In this disclosure Figure 3A In at least one of the embodiments shown, the decrease in the fall time Tf of the gate drive signal output by the shift register unit is mainly due to the following two aspects:

[0124] 1. The clock signal line includes two main sub-signal lines connected in parallel, which reduces resistance. 2. One of the main sub-signal lines is not directly electrically connected to the drive circuit, nor is it electrically connected to the output transistor in the shift register unit. Therefore, the capacitance of this main sub-signal line can be basically ignored (only a small overlapping capacitance exists when it crosses other signal lines). As a result, the RC delay of the main sub-signal line that is not directly electrically connected to the drive circuit is extremely small. Even at a distance, the clock signal transmitted by the clock signal line is basically undistorted.

[0125] In practice, K11 and K12 can be formed on the same conductive layer, or K11 and K12 can be formed on different conductive layers;

[0126] K21 and K22 can be formed on the same conductive layer, or they can be formed on different conductive layers.

[0170] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the extension direction of the main sub-signal line being substantially the same as the extension direction of the data line can mean that the angle between the extension direction of the main sub-signal line and the extension direction of the data line is less than a predetermined angle.

Therefore, the clock signal output at the far end of the clock signal line can be made undistorted, thus greatly reducing the fall time Tf of the signal output by the shift register unit electrically connected to the far end of the clock signal line, and improving the charging time. The fifth main body sub-signal line is directly electrically connected to the odd-numbered shift register unit in the second driving circuit, and the seventh main body sub-signal line is directly electrically connected to the even-numbered shift register unit in the second driving circuit.

This ensures that the parasitic capacitance on the sixth and eighth main body sub-signal lines is very small. Therefore, the clock signal output at the far end of the clock signal line can be kept undistorted. Consequently, the fall time Tf of the signal output by the shift register unit electrically connected to the far end of the clock signal line is greatly reduced, improving the charging time.
