[0069] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0070] The scales of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference for actual processes, but are not limited to such. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of the various film layers, and the width and spacing of the various signal lines can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are merely schematic structural diagrams, and one embodiment of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the figures.

[0071] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number.

[0072] In this specification, for convenience, words and phrases indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside," are used to illustrate the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.

[0073] In this specification, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure.

[0074] In this specification, a transistor refers to a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0075] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or vice versa. The functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged, and "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.

[0076] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transfer of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.

[0077] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. Furthermore, "perpendicular" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.

[0078] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced with "insulating layer."

[0079] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined. They may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons, and may have some minor deformations due to tolerances, such as chamfers, rounded edges, and deformation. The term "approximately" in this disclosure does not strictly define the boundaries, but allows for values ​​within the range of process and measurement errors.

[0080] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device. Figure 1As shown, a display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, a light-emitting driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is connected to the data driver, the scan driver, and the light-emitting driver, respectively. The data driver is connected to a plurality of data signal lines (D1 to Dn), the scan driver is connected to a plurality of scan signal lines (S1 to Sm), and the light-emitting driver is connected to a plurality of light-emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo). The pixel array may include a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij, where i and j may be natural numbers. At least one sub-pixel Pxij may include a circuit unit and a light-emitting device connected to the circuit unit. The circuit unit may include a pixel driving circuit, and the pixel driving circuit may be connected to the scan signal lines, the light-emitting signal lines, and the data signal lines. In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller may provide grayscale values ​​and control signals suitable for the specifications of the data driver to the data driver, may provide a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. suitable for the specifications of the scan driver to the scan driver, and may provide a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. suitable for the specifications of the light-emitting driver to the light-emitting driver. The data driver can generate data voltages to be supplied to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., and Dn using grayscale values ​​and control signals received from a timing controller. For example, the data driver can sample grayscale values ​​using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values ​​to data signal lines D1 to Dn on a per-row basis, where n can be a natural number. The scan driver can generate scan signals to be supplied to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., and Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, and the like from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver can sequentially supply scan signals having on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver can be configured as a shift register and can sequentially transmit scan start signals provided in the form of on-level pulses to the next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. The light driver can generate emission signals to be supplied to light signal lines E1, E2, E3, ..., and Eo by receiving clock signals, emission stop signals, and the like from the timing controller. For example, the light emitting driver may sequentially provide an emission signal having an off-level pulse to the light emitting signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the light emitting driver may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate an emission signal in a manner such that an emission stop signal provided in the form of an off-level pulse is sequentially transmitted to a next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal. o may be a natural number.

[0081] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a planar structure of a display substrate. Figure 2As shown, the display substrate may include a plurality of pixel units P arranged in a matrix.

In some possible implementations, the display substrate may include other film layers, such as a touch structure layer, etc., which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, in a plane parallel to the display substrate, the driving circuit layer 20 may include multiple circuit units, each of which may include a pixel driving circuit, as well as scan signal lines, light emission control lines, data signal lines, and a first power supply line connected to the pixel driving circuit.

[0086] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting structure layer 30 may include multiple light-emitting devices, each of which may include at least an anode, a pixel definition layer, an organic light-emitting layer, and a cathode.

[0088] As OLED display technology matures and yield rates continue to improve, the cost of OLED displays continues to decline, leading to their application in a wider range of fields, such as medium and large-sized electronic products. As display substrate sizes increase, the yield rate of display substrates using low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) thin-film transistors decreases, resulting in higher costs.

[0094] Figure 4 FIG1 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit may be a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C or 8T1C structure. Figure 4 As shown, the pixel driving circuit of the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may include 6 transistors (first transistor T1 to sixth transistor T6) and 1 storage capacitor C, and the pixel driving circuit is respectively connected to 8 signal lines (first scan signal line S1, second scan signal line S2, first light-emitting signal line E1, second light-emitting signal line E2, initial signal line INIT, data signal line D, first power line VDD and second power line VSS).

[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit may include a first node N1, a second node N2, a third node N3, and a fourth node N4. The first node N1 is connected to the first electrode of the second transistor T2, the gate electrode of the third transistor T3, and the first plate of the storage capacitor C, respectively; the second node N2 is connected to the second electrode of the second transistor T2, the first electrode of the third transistor T3, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5, respectively; the third node N3 is connected to the second electrode of the third transistor T3, the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4, and the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6, respectively; the fourth node N4 is connected to the second electrode of the first transistor T1, the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6, and the second plate of the storage capacitor C, respectively; and the fourth node N4 is further connected to the first electrode of the light emitting device EL.

[0096] In an exemplary embodiment, the first plate of the storage capacitor C is connected to the first node N1, and the second plate of the storage capacitor C is connected to the fourth node N4, that is, the first end of the storage capacitor C is connected to the gate electrode of the third transistor T3, and the second end of the storage capacitor C is connected to the first electrode of the light emitting device EL.

[0097] In an exemplary embodiment, a gate electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first scan signal line S1, a first electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the initialization signal line INIT, and a second electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the second plate of the storage capacitor C and the fourth node N4. When an on-level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line S1, the first transistor T1 is turned on and transmits an initialization voltage to the second plate of the storage capacitor C and the first electrode of the light-emitting device EL, respectively, to initialize the storage capacitor C and the light-emitting device EL.

[0098] In an exemplary embodiment, a gate electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first scan signal line S1, a first electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first node N1, and a second electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second node N2. When an on-level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line S1, the second transistor T2 connects the gate electrode of the third transistor T3 to the first electrode of the third transistor T3.

[0099] In an exemplary embodiment, a gate electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first node N1, that is, the gate electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first plate of the storage capacitor C, a first electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second node N2, and a second electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the third node N3. The third transistor T3 can be referred to as a driving transistor. The third transistor T3 determines the magnitude of the driving current flowing between the first power line VDD and the light-emitting device based on the potential difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode.

[0100] In an exemplary embodiment, a gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second scan signal line S2, a first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data signal line D, and a second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the third node N3. When an on-level scan signal is applied to the second scan signal line S2, the fourth transistor T4 inputs a data voltage of the data signal line D to the third node N3.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment, a gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the second light emitting signal line E2, a first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power line VDD, and a second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the second node N2. A gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the first light emitting signal line E1, a first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the third node N3, and a second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the fourth node N4. When an on-level light emitting signal is applied to the first light emitting signal line E1 and the second light emitting signal line E2, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 form a drive current path between the first power line VDD and the light emitting device, causing the light emitting device to emit light.

[0102] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting device EL can be an OLED, including a stacked first electrode (anode), an organic light-emitting layer and a second electrode (cathode), or can be a QLED, including a stacked first electrode (anode), a quantum dot light-emitting layer and a second electrode (cathode).

[0103] In an exemplary embodiment, the six transistors of the pixel driving circuit may be N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistors in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the display substrate, and improve the yield of the product.

[0104] In an exemplary embodiment, the six transistors of the pixel driving circuit may be oxide thin-film transistors. The active layer of the oxide thin-film transistors may be made of an oxide semiconductor. Oxide thin-film transistors have advantages such as low leakage current. Using a display substrate provided with oxide thin-film transistors can achieve low-frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display quality.

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the second electrode of the light-emitting device EL is connected to the second power line VSS. The first power line VDD can be configured to provide a constant first voltage signal to the pixel driving circuit. The second power line VSS can be configured to provide a constant second voltage signal to the pixel driving circuit, and the first voltage signal is greater than the second voltage signal. The initial signal line INIT can be configured to provide an initial voltage signal to the pixel driving circuit. The initial voltage signal can be a constant voltage signal, and its magnitude can be between the first voltage signal provided by the first power line VDD and the second voltage signal provided by the second power line VSS, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0106] In some examples, taking the example that the first transistor T1 to the sixth transistor T6 included in the pixel driving circuit are all N-type transistors, the operation process of the pixel driving circuit may include the following stages.

[0107] The first phase A1 is called the initialization phase. The high-level signal provided by the first scan signal line S1 turns on the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, and the high-level signal provided by the second light-emitting signal line E2 turns on the fifth transistor T5. Turning on the first transistor T1 causes the initial voltage signal provided by the initial signal line INIT to be supplied to the fourth node N4 and the second plate of the storage capacitor C, initializing the storage capacitor C and the light-emitting device EL. This clears the existing data voltage in the storage capacitor C and the pre-stored voltage at the first electrode of the light-emitting device EL, completing initialization and rendering the light-emitting device EL non-luminous. Turning on the second transistor T2 connects the first node N1 to the second node N2. Turning on the fifth transistor T5 causes the first voltage signal output from the first power line VDD to be charged into the first plate of the storage capacitor C via the fifth transistor T5, the second node N2, and the first node N1. Since the first plate of the storage capacitor C is at a high level, the third transistor T3 turns on.

[0108] The second phase A2 is called the data writing phase or the threshold compensation phase. The second scan signal line S2 provides a high-level signal, turning on the fourth transistor T4. The fourth transistor T4 is turned on, causing the data voltage output by the data signal line D to be supplied to the first node N1 via the third node N3, the turned-on third transistor T3, the second node N2, and the turned-on second transistor T2. The difference between the data voltage output by the data signal line D and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is then charged into the first plate of the storage capacitor C.

[0109] The third phase A3 is called the light-emitting phase. The first light-emitting control line E1 and the second light-emitting signal line E2 provide high-level signals to turn on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6. The first voltage signal output from the first power line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the light-emitting element EL through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, third transistor T3, and sixth transistor T6, driving the light-emitting element EL to emit light.

[0110] During the driving process of the pixel driving circuit, the current flowing through the light emitting element EL has nothing to do with the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 , so the pixel driving circuit can better compensate for the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 .
