[0138] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The implementation can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into other 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. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0139] In the accompanying drawings, the size of one or more constituent elements, the thickness of layers, or areas are sometimes exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, this disclosure is not necessarily limited to these dimensions, and the shape and size of one or more parts in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate ideal examples, and this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0140] The ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit the quantity. The term "multiple" in this disclosure refers to two or more quantities.

[0141] 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 the constituent elements being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0142] 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 joint; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the meaning of these terms in this disclosure as appropriate.

[0143] 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 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 multifunctional elements.

[0144] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate, a drain, and a source. A transistor has a channel region between its drain (drain terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and its source (source terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain, the channel region, and the source. In this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0145] In this specification, the first terminal can be the drain and the second terminal can be the source, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or where the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source" and "drain" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source" and "drain" can be interchanged. Additionally, the gate can also be called the control terminal.

[0146] 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°.

[0147] In this disclosure, "light transmittance" refers to the ability of light to pass through a medium, and is the percentage of light flux passing through a transparent or translucent body relative to the incident light flux.

[0148] In this disclosure, "approximately" and "roughly" refer to situations where there are no strict limits and the process and measurement errors are allowed. In this disclosure, "roughly the same" means that the values ​​differ by no more than 10%.

[0149] At least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a display substrate, including: a display area and a peripheral area at least partially surrounding the display area. The display area includes a light-transmitting display area and a conventional display area located on at least one side of the light-transmitting display area. The light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area is greater than that of the conventional display area. The display substrate includes: a substrate and a plurality of light-emitting elements and a plurality of pixel circuits located on one side of the substrate. The plurality of light-emitting elements includes a plurality of first-type light-emitting elements located in the light-transmitting display area. The plurality of pixel circuits includes a plurality of first-type pixel circuits located in the light-transmitting display area. At least one of the plurality of first-type pixel circuits is electrically connected to at least two first-type light-emitting elements that emit light of the same color. The first-type pixel circuit is configured to drive at least two first-type light-emitting elements to emit light. The orthographic projection of at least one first-type pixel circuit on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one first-type light-emitting element on the substrate.

[0150] The display substrate provided in this embodiment reduces the number of first-type pixel circuits in the light-transmitting display area, using one first-type pixel circuit to drive at least two first-type light-emitting elements emitting light of the same color. This ensures consistent resolution (PPI) across the display area, improves light transmittance in the light-transmitting display area, and reduces diffraction in the light-transmitting display area during photography. The display substrate provided in this embodiment can be applied to QHD (Quarter High Definition) display devices. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0151] In an exemplary embodiment, there is an overlap between the orthographic projection of at least one first-type pixel circuit onto the substrate and the orthographic projection of at least a portion of the first-type light-emitting elements electrically connected to at least one first-type pixel circuit onto the substrate.

[0152] In an exemplary embodiment, the display substrate may further include: a plurality of first signal lines, wherein at least one first type pixel circuit is electrically connected to at least one of the first signal lines. The plurality of first signal lines include at least one of the following: a scan signal line, a reset signal line, an initial signal line, and a light-emitting signal line.

[0153] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of first signal lines include a plurality of sub-signal lines; adjacent sub-signal lines of the first signal lines are electrically connected through electrically connected first type pixel circuits.

[0154] In an exemplary embodiment, the display substrate may further include: a plurality of second signal lines, at least one first type pixel circuit being electrically connected to at least one of the second signal lines; the plurality of second signal lines include at least one of the following: a data signal line and a first power line, the plurality of data signal lines and the plurality of first power lines extending along a first direction.

[0155] In an exemplary embodiment, the data signal line and the first power line electrically connected to the first type of pixel circuit are located between adjacent sub-signal lines of the first signal line, and the orthographic projection of the data signal line and the first power line electrically connected to the first type of pixel circuit on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first type of pixel circuit on the substrate.

[0156] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of at least one of the scan signal line, reset signal line, initial signal line, light emission signal line, data signal line, and first power line onto the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection portion of the first type of light emission element onto the substrate.

[0157] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of first-type light-emitting elements includes at least: a plurality of first light-emitting elements emitting a first color light, a plurality of second light-emitting elements emitting a second color light, and a plurality of third light-emitting elements emitting a third color light. The anode area of ​​at least one of the plurality of first light-emitting elements is larger than the anode area of ​​at least one of the plurality of third light-emitting elements, and the anode area of ​​at least one of the plurality of second light-emitting elements is larger than the anode area of ​​at least one of the third light-emitting elements. In some examples, the first color light can be red light, the second color light can be blue light, and the third color light can be green light.

[0158] The following examples illustrate the solution of this embodiment.

[0159] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. In an exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the display substrate may include a display area AA and a peripheral area BB surrounding the display area AA. The display area AA of the display substrate may include a light-transmitting display area A1 and a conventional display area A2 located on at least one side of the light-transmitting display area A1. In some examples, the light-transmitting display area A1 is the aforementioned light-transmitting display area, and may also be referred to as the under-display camera (UDC) area. The conventional display area A2 may also be referred to as the normal display area. For example, the orthographic projection of hardware such as a photosensor (e.g., a camera, infrared sensor) onto the display substrate may be located within the light-transmitting display area A1 of the display substrate. In some examples, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the light-transmitting display area A1 can be circular, and the size of the orthographic projection of the photosensor onto the display substrate can be smaller than or equal to the size of the light-transmitting display area A1. However, this embodiment is not limited in this respect.

[0160] In other examples, the light-transmitting display area can be rectangular, and the size of the orthographic projection of the photosensitive sensor onto the display substrate can be smaller than or equal to the size of the inscribed circle of the light-transmitting display area.

[0161] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the light-transmitting display area A1 can be located at the top center of the display area AA. The conventional display area A2 can surround the light-transmitting display area A1. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the light-transmitting display area A1 can be located at other positions such as the upper left or upper right corner of the display area AA.

[0162] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display area AA can be rectangular, such as a rounded rectangle. The light-transmitting display area A1 can be circular or elliptical. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the light-transmitting display area can be other shapes such as rectangle, pentagon, or hexagon.

[0163] In an exemplary embodiment, the display area AA includes at least a plurality of regularly arranged pixel units, a plurality of gate lines extending along a first direction Y (e.g., scan signal lines, reset signal lines, and light emission signal lines), a plurality of data signal lines extending along a second direction X, and a first power line. The first direction Y and the second direction X are located in the same plane, and the first direction Y intersects the second direction X; for example, the first direction Y is perpendicular to the second direction X.

[0164] In an exemplary embodiment, a pixel unit of the display area AA may include three sub-pixels, which may be a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, respectively. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In some examples, a pixel unit may include four sub-pixels, which may be a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel, and a white sub-pixel, respectively.

[0165] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of a sub-pixel can be rectangular, rhomboid, pentagonal, or hexagonal. When a pixel unit includes three sub-pixels, the three sub-pixels can be arranged horizontally side-by-side, vertically side-by-side, or in a triangular arrangement; when a pixel unit includes four sub-pixels, the four sub-pixels can be arranged horizontally side-by-side, vertically side-by-side, or in a square arrangement. However, this embodiment is not limited in this respect.

[0166] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one sub-pixel includes a pixel circuit and a light-emitting element. The pixel circuit is configured to drive the electrically connected light-emitting element. For example, the pixel circuit is configured to provide a drive current to drive the light-emitting element to emit light. The pixel circuit may include multiple transistors and at least one capacitor; for example, the pixel circuit may be a 3T1C (3 transistors and 1 capacitor) structure, an 8T1C (8 transistors and 1 capacitor) structure, a 7T1C (7 transistors and 1 capacitor) structure, or a 5T1C (5 transistors and 1 capacitor) structure. In some examples, the light-emitting element may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), which emits red, green, blue, or white light under the drive of its corresponding pixel circuit. The emission color of the light-emitting element can be determined as needed. The light-emitting element may include an anode, a cathode, and an organic light-emitting layer located between the anode and the cathode. The anode of the light-emitting element may be electrically connected to the corresponding pixel circuit. However, this embodiment is not limited in this respect.

[0167] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display substrate includes a substrate and a plurality of light-emitting elements and a plurality of pixel circuits located on one side of the substrate. The plurality of light-emitting elements may include a plurality of first-type light-emitting elements L1 located in the light-transmitting display area A1 and a plurality of second-type light-emitting elements L2 located in the conventional display area A2. The plurality of pixel circuits may include a plurality of first-type pixel circuits P1 located in the light-transmitting display area A1 and a plurality of second-type pixel circuits P2 located in the conventional display area A2.

[0168] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-transmitting display area A1 is provided with a plurality of first-type light-emitting elements and a plurality of first-type pixel circuits. At least one first-type pixel circuit is electrically connected to at least two first-type light-emitting elements that emit light of the same color. That is, at least two sub-pixels of the same color in the light-transmitting display area A1 share one first-type pixel circuit. The conventional display area A2 is provided with a plurality of second-type light-emitting elements and a plurality of second-type pixel circuits. The plurality of second-type light-emitting elements and the plurality of second-type pixel circuits are electrically connected in a one-to-one correspondence. The display substrate of this exemplary embodiment adopts a design in which one first-type pixel circuit drives at least two first-type light-emitting elements in the light-transmitting display area A1, which can improve the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area and reduce diffraction during photography while ensuring the consistent resolution of the display area of ​​the display substrate. However, this embodiment is not limited in this respect.

[0169] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of first type of light-emitting elements in the light-transmitting display area according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of first type of light-emitting elements in the light-transmitting display area according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of first-type light-emitting elements in the light-transmitting display area A1 may include: a plurality of first light-emitting elements 11 emitting a first color light, a plurality of second light-emitting elements 12 emitting a second color light, and a plurality of third light-emitting elements 13 emitting a third color light. For example, the first color light may be red light, the second color light may be blue light, and the third color light may be green light. That is, the first light-emitting element 11 may be a red light-emitting element, the second light-emitting element 12 may be a blue light-emitting element, and the third light-emitting element 13 may be a green light-emitting element. However, this embodiment is not limited in this respect.

[0170] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 2As shown, multiple first-type light-emitting elements in the light-transmitting display area A1 can be arranged according to a Pentile structure. Specifically, multiple third light-emitting elements 13 are arranged at certain intervals in the i-th row; second light-emitting elements 12 and first light-emitting elements 11 are alternately arranged in adjacent rows of the i-th row; first light-emitting elements 11 and second light-emitting elements 12 are alternately arranged in the j-th column; multiple third light-emitting elements 13 are arranged at certain intervals in adjacent columns of the j-th column; first light-emitting elements 11 and third light-emitting elements 13 are alternately arranged along a third direction F1; second light-emitting elements 12 and third light-emitting elements 13 are alternately arranged along a fourth direction F2; third direction F1 and fourth direction F4 intersect with the first direction Y and the second direction X, respectively; the first direction Y is the column direction, and the second direction X is the row direction. For example, multiple third light-emitting elements 13 are arranged at certain intervals in the i-th row, and the second light-emitting elements 12 and the first light-emitting elements 11 are alternately arranged in adjacent rows of the i-th row. This means that multiple third light-emitting elements 13 are arranged at certain intervals in the i-th row, the second light-emitting elements 12 and the first light-emitting elements 11 are alternately arranged in the (i+1)-th row adjacent to the i-th row, multiple third light-emitting elements 13 are arranged at certain intervals in the (i+2)-th row adjacent to the (i+1)-th row, and the first light-emitting elements 11 and the second light-emitting elements 12 are alternately arranged in the (i+3)-th row adjacent to the (i+2)-th row. Multiple rows of the first type of light-emitting elements can be repeatedly arranged according to this pattern. For example, the first light-emitting element 11 and the second light-emitting element 12 are alternately arranged in the j-th column. The arrangement of multiple third light-emitting elements 13 at certain intervals in adjacent columns of the j-th column means that the first light-emitting element 11 and the second light-emitting element 12 are alternately arranged in the j-th column, the multiple third light-emitting elements 13 are arranged at certain intervals in the (j+1)-th adjacent column of the j-th column, the first light-emitting element 11 and the second light-emitting element 12 are alternately arranged in the (j+2)-th adjacent column of the (j+1)-th column, and the multiple third light-emitting elements 13 are arranged at certain intervals in the (j+3)-th column. Multiple columns of the first type of light-emitting elements can be repeatedly arranged according to this pattern. In this example, the dimensions of the first light-emitting element 11 and the second light-emitting element 12 can both be larger than the dimensions of the third light-emitting element 13. Here, i and j are both integers.

[0171] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the light-emitting areas 110 of the first light-emitting element 11, 120 of the second light-emitting element 12, and 130 of the third light-emitting element 13 can all be circular or elliptical. The light-emitting area 110 of the first light-emitting element 11 can be larger than the light-emitting area 130 of the third light-emitting element 13, and the light-emitting area 120 of the second light-emitting element 12 can be larger than the light-emitting area 130 of the third light-emitting element 13. In this example, the light-emitting area of ​​the light-emitting element can be the portion of the pixel opening located in the pixel definition layer.

[0172] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting area of ​​the first type of light-emitting element in the light-transmitting display area A1 can be smaller than the light-emitting area of ​​the second type of light-emitting element emitting the same color light in the conventional display area A2. For example, the area of ​​the light-emitting area of ​​the first type of light-emitting element can be 40% to 60% of the area of ​​the light-emitting area of ​​the second type of light-emitting element emitting the same color light, such as approximately 50%. In this example, by reducing the aperture ratio of the light-transmitting display area A1, the light transmission area of ​​the light-transmitting display area A1 can be increased, thereby improving the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area A1.

[0173] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the multiple first-type light-emitting elements in the light-transmitting display area A1 can be arranged in a triangular pattern. Multiple second-type light-emitting elements 12 are arranged in the j-th column, and first-type light-emitting elements 11 and third-type light-emitting elements 13 are alternately arranged in adjacent columns of the j-th column. Multiple second-type light-emitting elements 12 are arranged in the i-th row, with first-type light-emitting elements 11 and third-type light-emitting elements 13 positioned between adjacent second-type light-emitting elements 12 in the same row. For example, "multiple second-type light-emitting elements 12 arranged in the j-th column, and first-type light-emitting elements 11 and third-type light-emitting elements 13 alternately arranged in adjacent columns of the j-th column" means that multiple second-type light-emitting elements 12 are arranged at certain intervals in the j-th column, first-type light-emitting elements 11 and third-type light-emitting elements 13 are alternately arranged in the (j+1)-th column adjacent to the j-th column, multiple second-type light-emitting elements 12 are arranged at certain intervals in the (j+2)-th column adjacent to the (j+1)-th column, and first-type light-emitting elements 11 and second-type light-emitting elements 12 are alternately arranged in the (j+3)-th column adjacent to the (j+2)-th column. Multiple columns of first-type light-emitting elements can be repeatedly arranged according to this pattern.

Figure 5 , Figure 9A schematic diagram of the arrangement of the first type of pixel circuit and the first type of light-emitting element in a light-transmitting display area provided for an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 .exist Figures 4 to 9 The rectangle in the middle indicates the location of the first type of pixel circuit. Figure 4 and Figure 5 This will be illustrated by taking the arrangement of multiple Type I light-emitting elements in the light-transmitting display area A1 according to a Pentile structure as an example. Figures 6 to 9 The following explanation uses the example of multiple first-type light-emitting elements in the light-transmitting display area A1 being arranged in a triangular pattern. Figures 4 to 9 The examples used are all based on the connection of one type 1 pixel circuit to two type 1 light-emitting elements.

[0175] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the area of ​​the anode 111 of the first light-emitting element (e.g., the first light-emitting elements 11a and 11b) is larger than the area of ​​the anode 131 of the third light-emitting element (e.g., the third light-emitting elements 13a and 13b), and the area of ​​the anode 121 of the second light-emitting element (e.g., the second light-emitting elements 12a and 12b) is larger than the area of ​​the anode 131 of the third light-emitting element (e.g., the third light-emitting elements 13a and 13b).

[0176] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of first-type pixel circuits include: at least one first pixel circuit, at least one second pixel circuit, at least one third pixel circuit, and at least one fourth pixel circuit; the first pixel circuit is electrically connected to two first light-emitting elements, the second pixel circuit is electrically connected to two second light-emitting elements, the third pixel circuit is electrically connected to two third light-emitting elements, and the fourth pixel circuit is electrically connected to two third light-emitting elements, wherein the third light-emitting elements electrically connected to the third pixel circuit and the fourth pixel circuit are different.

[0177] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 4As shown, the plurality of first-type pixel circuits in the light-transmitting display area may include at least: a first pixel circuit 15a, a second pixel circuit 15b, a third pixel circuit 15c, and a fourth pixel circuit 15d. The first pixel circuit 15a is electrically connected to two first light-emitting elements 11a and 11b emitting first-color light, and is configured to drive the two first light-emitting elements 11a and 11b to emit light. The orthographic projection of the first pixel circuit 15a onto the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the anode 111 of the first light-emitting element 11a onto the substrate, but does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the anode of the first light-emitting element 11b onto the substrate. The second pixel circuit 15b is electrically connected to two second light-emitting elements 12a and 12b emitting second-color light, and is configured to drive the two second light-emitting elements 12a and 12b to emit light. The orthographic projection of the second pixel circuit 15b onto the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the anodes of the second light-emitting elements 12a and 12b onto the substrate, but overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting element 11b located between the second light-emitting elements 12a and 12b. The third pixel circuit 15c is electrically connected to two third light-emitting elements 13a and 13b that emit third-color light, and is configured to drive the two third light-emitting elements 13a and 13b to emit light. The orthographic projection of the third pixel circuit 15c onto the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the anode of the second light-emitting element 12a onto the substrate, but does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the anodes of the two third light-emitting elements 13a and 13b onto the substrate. The second light-emitting element 12a that overlaps with the third pixel circuit 15c is located in the row above the row containing the two third light-emitting elements 13a and 13b, and is located in the middle column of the column containing the two third light-emitting elements 13a and 13b. The fourth pixel circuit 15d is electrically connected to two third light-emitting elements 13c and 13d that emit third-color light, and is configured to drive the two third light-emitting elements 13c and 13d to emit light. The orthographic projection of the fourth pixel circuit 15d onto the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the anode of the second light-emitting element 12b onto the substrate, but does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the anodes of the two third light-emitting elements 13c and 13d onto the substrate. The second light-emitting element 12b, which overlaps with the fourth pixel circuit 15d, is located in the row above the row containing the two third light-emitting elements 13c and 13d, and is located in the middle column of the column containing the third light-emitting elements 13c and 13d.

[0178] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first type of pixel circuit is located below the anode of the first or second light-emitting element with a larger anode area, and does not overlap with the anode of the third light-emitting element with a smaller anode area. In this example, placing the first type of pixel circuit below the first type of light-emitting element with a larger anode area, and not placing the first type of pixel circuit below the first type of light-emitting element with a smaller anode area, can improve the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area.

[0179] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the two first light-emitting elements 11a and 11b electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 15a are in the second direction X (i.e., the two first light-emitting elements 11a and 11b are located in the same row). The two second light-emitting elements 12a and 12b electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 15b are in the second direction X (i.e., the two second light-emitting elements 12a and 12b are located in the same row). The two third light-emitting elements 13a and 13b electrically connected to the third pixel circuit 15c are in the second direction X (i.e., the two third light-emitting elements 13a and 13b are located in the same row). The two third light-emitting elements 13c and 13d electrically connected to the fourth pixel circuit 15d are in the second direction X (i.e., the two third light-emitting elements 13c and 13d are located in the same row).

[0180] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of first-type pixel circuits in the light-transmitting display area may include at least: a first pixel circuit 15a, a second pixel circuit 15b, a third pixel circuit 15c, and a fourth pixel circuit 15d. The first pixel circuit 15a is electrically connected to two first light-emitting elements 11a and 11b emitting first-color light, and is configured to drive the two first light-emitting elements 11a and 11b to emit light.

[0189] In an exemplary embodiment, in the light-transmitting display area, a first type pixel circuit drives at least two first type light-emitting elements that emit light of the same color, and the first type pixel circuit is disposed below the anode having a first light-emitting element, a second light-emitting element and a third light-emitting element, which can improve light transmittance while ensuring the resolution of the display substrate.

[0190] Figure 10 This is an equivalent circuit diagram of a first type of pixel circuit. In an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the first type of pixel circuit in this exemplary embodiment can be an 8T1C structure, that is, including first transistors T1 to seventh transistors T7 and capacitor C. First type light-emitting elements EL1 and EL2 can emit light of the same color and can each include an anode, a cathode, and an organic light-emitting layer located between the anode and cathode. In this example, the third transistor T3 is a driving transistor.

[0191] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 10 As shown, the first type of pixel circuit is electrically connected to the scan signal line Gate, the reset signal line RST, the initial signal line INIT, the light emission signal line EM, the data signal line Data, the first power supply line VDD, and the second power supply line VSS. Exemplarily, the first power supply line VDD is configured to provide a constant first voltage signal to the first type of pixel circuit, and the second power supply line VSS is configured to provide a constant second voltage signal to the first type of pixel circuit, wherein the voltage value of the first voltage signal is greater than the voltage value of the second voltage signal. The scan signal line Gate is configured to provide a scan signal to the first type of pixel circuit, the data signal line Data is configured to provide a data signal to the first type of pixel circuit, the light emission signal line EM is configured to provide a light emission control signal to the first type of pixel circuit, and the reset signal line RST is configured to provide a reset control signal to the first type of pixel circuit. In some examples, in the nth row of the first type of pixel circuit, the reset signal line RST can be connected to the scan signal line Gate of the (n-1)th row of the first type of pixel circuit. This reduces the number of signal lines on the display substrate, enabling a narrow bezel on the display substrate.

[0192] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 10As shown, the control electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the reset signal line RST, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the initial signal line INIT, and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first node N1. The control electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the scan signal line Gate, the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first node N1, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the third node N3. The control electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the first node N1, the first electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the second electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the third node N3. The control electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the scan signal line Gate, the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the data signal line Data, and the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the second node N2. The control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the light emission signal line EM, the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second node N2. The control electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the light-emitting signal line EM. The first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4. The control electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the scan signal line Gate. The first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the initial signal line INIT, and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4. The first plate of capacitor C is electrically connected to the first node N1, and the second plate of capacitor C is electrically connected to the first power supply line VDD.

[0193] In this example, the first node N1 is the connection point of capacitor C, first transistor T1 and third transistor T3; the second node N2 is the connection point of fifth transistor T5, fourth transistor T4 and third transistor T3; the third node N3 is the connection point of third transistor T3, second transistor T2 and sixth transistor T6; and the fourth node N4 is the connection point of sixth transistor T6, seventh transistor T7 and two first-type light-emitting elements EL1 and EL2.

[0194] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 of the first type pixel circuit can all be P-type transistors or all be N-type transistors.

[0195] In an exemplary embodiment, the first type of transistors in the first type of pixel circuit (e.g., first transistor T1 to seventh transistor T7) can be low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistors (TFTs) or oxide thin-film transistors (OTTs). The active layer of the LTPS TFT is made of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon, while the active layer of the OTT TFT is made of oxide. LTPS TFTs have advantages such as high mobility and fast charging, while OTT TFTs have advantages such as low leakage current. Integrating LTPS TFTs and OTT TFTs onto a single display substrate to form a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display substrate allows for the utilization of both advantages, enabling low-frequency driving, reducing power consumption, and improving display quality. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, all transistors in the first type of pixel circuit can be LTPS TFTs, or all can be OTT TFTs.

[0196] Figure 11 for Figure 10 The timing diagram for the first type of pixel circuit is provided below. Figure 11 right Figure 10 The operation of the first type of pixel circuit shown will be explained. The first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 in the first type of pixel circuit are P-type transistors.

[0197] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, during a single frame display period, the operation of the first type of pixel circuit may include: a first stage S1, a second stage S2, and a third stage S3.

[0198] The first stage, S1, is called the reset stage. The reset signal line RST provides a low-level signal, turning on the first transistor T1. The initial signal line INIT provides an initial signal to the first node N1, initializing N1 and clearing the original data voltage in capacitor C. The scan signal line Gate provides a high-level signal, and the light emission control signal EM provided by the light emission signal line EM is also high, turning off the fourth transistor T4, the second transistor T2, the seventh transistor T7, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6. During this stage, the first type of light-emitting elements EL1 and EL2 do not emit light.

[0199] The second stage, S2, is called the data writing stage or threshold compensation stage. The signal provided by the scan signal line Gate is a low-level signal, and the data signal line Data outputs data. During this stage, since the signal at the first node N1 is low, the third transistor T3 is turned on. The signal provided by the scan signal line Gate 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 Vdata output by the data signal line Data to be supplied to the first node N1 via the second node N2, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor T2. The difference between the data voltage Vdata output by the data signal line Data and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into capacitor C. The voltage at the first electrode of capacitor C (i.e., the first node N1) is Vdata - |Vth|, where Vdata is the data voltage output by the data signal line Data, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on, causing the initial signal Vinit provided by the initial signal line INIT to be supplied to the fourth node N4. This initializes (resets) the anodes of the two first-type light-emitting elements EL1 and EL2, clearing their internal pre-stored voltages and completing the initialization process, ensuring that the first-type light-emitting elements EL1 and EL2 do not emit light. The reset signal line RST provides a high-level signal, causing the first transistor T1 to turn off. The light-emitting signal line EM provides a high-level signal, causing the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 to turn off.

[0200] The third stage, S3, is called the light-emitting stage. The light-emitting signal line EM provides a low-level signal, turning on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6. The scan signal line Gate and the reset signal line RST provide high-level signals, turning off the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the seventh transistor T7, and the first transistor T1. The first voltage signal output from the first power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to the anodes of the first-type light-emitting elements EL1 and EL2 through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, third transistor T3, and sixth transistor T6, driving the two first-type light-emitting elements EL1 and EL2 to emit light.

[0201] During the driving process of the first type of pixel circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 is determined by the voltage difference between its control electrode and its first electrode. Since the voltage of the first node N1 is Vdata-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:

[0202] I = K × (Vgs - Vth) 2 =K×[(VDD-Vdata+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K×[VDD-Vdata] 2 ;

[0203] Where I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, which is the driving current driving the first type of light-emitting element, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the control electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vdata is the data voltage output by the data signal line Data, and VDD is the first voltage signal output by the first power supply line PL1.

[0204] As can be seen from the above formula, the current flowing through the first type of light-emitting element is independent of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. Therefore, the first type of pixel circuit in this embodiment can better compensate for the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3.
