Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to display technology, and more particularly to an array substrate and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays are currently a hot topic in flat panel display research. Unlike thin-film transistor-liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs), which use a stable voltage to control brightness, OLEDs are driven by a driving current that needs to be kept constant to control brightness. An OLED display panel includes multiple pixel units configured with pixel driving circuits arranged in multiple rows and columns. Each pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor with a gate terminal connected to a gate line in each row and a drain terminal connected to a data line in each column. When the selected row of a pixel unit is turned on, a switching transistor connected to the driving transistor is turned on, and a data voltage is applied from the data line through the switching transistor to the driving transistor, causing the driving transistor to output a current corresponding to the data voltage to the OLED device. The OLED device is then driven to emit light at a corresponding brightness. Summary of the Invention

[0068] This disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the following embodiments. It should be noted that the following description of some embodiments presented herein is for illustrative and descriptive purposes only. It is not exhaustive or limited to the precise forms disclosed.

[0069] This disclosure provides, in particular, an array substrate and a display device that substantially overcomes one or more problems caused by the limitations and disadvantages of the prior art. In one aspect, this disclosure provides an array substrate. In some embodiments, the array substrate includes a substrate and a light-shielding layer located on the substrate.

In one example, a high voltage signal (e.g., a VDD signal) is input to the corresponding pixel driving circuit PDC connected to the anode of the light-emitting element via a corresponding high voltage supply line among the multiple voltage supply lines Vdd; a low voltage signal (e.g., a VSS signal) is input to the cathode of the light-emitting element via a low voltage supply line. The voltage difference between the high voltage signal (e.g., the VDD signal) and the low voltage signal (e.g., the VSS signal) is the driving voltage ΔV, which drives the light-emitting element to emit light.

[0072] Figure 2A This is a circuit diagram illustrating the structure of a pixel driving circuit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 2A In some embodiments, the pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor Td; a storage capacitor Cst having a first capacitor electrode Ce1 and a second capacitor electrode Ce2; a second reset transistor Tr2 having a gate connected to a corresponding second reset control signal line rst2 among a plurality of second reset control signal lines, a first electrode connected to a corresponding second reset signal line Vint2 among a plurality of second reset signal lines, and a second electrode connected to a second electrode of the driving transistor Td; a first transistor T1 having a gate connected to a corresponding first gate line GL1 among a plurality of first gate lines, a first electrode connected to a corresponding data line DL among a plurality of data lines, and a second electrode connected to a first electrode of the driving transistor Td; a third reset transistor Tr3 having a gate connected to a corresponding first reset control signal line rst1 among a plurality of first reset control signal lines, a first electrode connected to a corresponding third reset signal line Vint3 among a plurality of third reset signal lines, and a second electrode connected to a first electrode of the driving transistor Td; and a second transistor T2 having a corresponding second gate line among a plurality of second gate lines.

A second capacitor electrode Ce2 is connected to the corresponding voltage supply line and the first electrode of the third transistor T3.

[0073] As used herein, a first electrode or a second electrode refers to one of a first terminal and a second terminal of a transistor, both of which are connected to the active layer of the transistor. The direction of current flowing through the transistor can be configured to be from the first electrode to the second electrode, or from the second electrode to the first electrode. Thus, depending on the direction of current flowing through the transistor, in one example, the first electrode is configured to receive an input signal and the second electrode is configured to output an output signal; in another example, the second electrode is configured to receive an input signal and the first electrode is configured to output an output signal.

[0074] The pixel driving circuit also includes 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 gate of the driving transistor Td, the first capacitor electrode Ce1, and the first electrode of the second transistor T2. The second node N2 is connected to the second electrode of the third transistor T3, the second electrode of the first transistor T1, the second electrode of the third reset transistor Tr3, and the first electrode of the driving transistor Td. The third node N3 is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor Td, the second electrode of the second transistor T2, the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4, and the second electrode of the second reset transistor Tr2. The fourth node N4 is connected to the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4, the second electrode of the first reset transistor Tr1, and the anode of the light-emitting element LE.

[0075] In some embodiments, the array substrate includes a plurality of sub-pixels. In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-pixels includes a corresponding first sub-pixel, a corresponding second sub-pixel, and a corresponding third sub-pixel. Optionally, each pixel of the array substrate includes a corresponding first sub-pixel, a corresponding second sub-pixel, and a corresponding third sub-pixel. The plurality of sub-pixels in the array substrate are arranged in an array. In one example, the array of the plurality of sub-pixels includes a repeating array in the format S1-S2-S3, wherein S1 represents a corresponding first sub-pixel, S2 represents a corresponding second sub-pixel, and S3 represents a corresponding third sub-pixel.

In another example, the C1-C2-C3 format is an RGB format, wherein the corresponding first sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel, the corresponding second sub-pixel is a green sub-pixel, and the corresponding third sub-pixel is a blue sub-pixel.

[0076] In some embodiments, the smallest repeating unit of the plurality of sub-pixels of the array substrate includes a corresponding first sub-pixel, a corresponding second sub-pixel, and a corresponding third sub-pixel.

[0077] This disclosure can be implemented in pixel driving circuits having various types of transistors, including pixel driving circuits having p-type transistors, pixel driving circuits having n-type transistors, and pixel driving circuits having one or more p-type transistors and one or more n-type transistors. (See also...) Figure 2A The second transistor T2 is an n-type transistor, such as a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor, while the other transistors are p-type transistors, such as polysilicon transistors. For p-type transistors, the active control signal (e.g., the turn-on control signal) is a low-voltage signal, while the inactive control signal (e.g., the turn-off control signal) is a high-voltage signal. For n-type transistors, the active control signal (e.g., the turn-on control signal) is a high-voltage signal, while the inactive control signal (e.g., the turn-off control signal) is a low-voltage signal.

[0078] Figure 2B This is a timing diagram illustrating the operation of a pixel driving circuit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 2A and Figure 2B During one frame of an image, the operation of the pixel driving circuit includes a reset sub-stage t1, a data writing sub-stage t2, and a light-emitting sub-stage t3. In the initial sub-stage t0, a cutoff reset control signal is provided to the gate of the second reset transistor Tr2 via the corresponding second reset control signal line rst2 to turn off the second reset transistor Tr2. Cutoff reset control signals are provided to the gates of the first reset transistor Tr1 and the third reset transistor Tr3 via the corresponding first reset control signal line rst1 to turn off the first reset transistor Tr1 and the third reset transistor Tr3. In the initial sub-stage t0, each of the first gate lines GL1 provides a cutoff signal, therefore the first transistor T1 is turned off.

[0079] In reset phase t1, a turn-on reset control signal is provided to the gate of the first reset transistor Tr1 via each of the first reset control signal lines rst1 to turn on the first reset transistor Tr1, allowing the initialization voltage signal from each of the first reset signal lines Vint1 to pass from the first electrode of the first reset transistor Tr1 to the second electrode of the first reset transistor Tr1, and then to node N4. The anode of the light-emitting element LE is initialized. A turn-on reset control signal is provided to the gate of the third reset transistor Tr3 via each of the first reset control signal lines rst1 to turn on the third reset transistor Tr3; thereby allowing the initialization voltage signal from each of the third reset signal lines Vint3 to pass from the first electrode of the third reset transistor Tr3 to the second electrode of the third reset transistor Tr3, and then to node N2. Node N2 is initialized. The second capacitor electrode Ce2 receives a high voltage signal from the corresponding voltage supply line Vdd. Due to the increased voltage difference between the first capacitor electrode Ce1 and the second capacitor electrode Ce2, the first capacitor electrode Ce1 is charged in reset phase t1. During the reset phase t1, each of the first gate lines GL1 provides a cutoff signal, thus turning off the first transistor T1. Each light-emitting control signal line em provides a high-voltage signal to turn off the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4.

[0080] In the data writing sub-stage t2, a turn-on reset control signal is provided to the gate of the second reset transistor Tr2 via the second reset control signal line rst2 to turn on the second reset transistor Tr2. This allows the initialization voltage signal from the corresponding second reset signal line Vint2 to be transmitted from the first electrode of the second reset transistor Tr2 to the second electrode of the second reset transistor Tr2, and then to the first capacitor electrode Ce1 and the gate of the driving transistor Td. The gate of the driving transistor Td is then initialized.

[0081] In data writing sub-stage t2, a cutoff reset control signal is again provided to the gates of the first reset transistor Tr1 and the third reset transistor Tr3 via the corresponding first reset control signal line rst1, thus cutting off the first reset transistor Tr1 and the third reset transistor Tr3. Each first gate line GL1 and each second gate line GL2 provides a conduction signal, therefore the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on. The second electrode of the driving transistor Td is connected to the second electrode of the second transistor T2. The gate of the driving transistor Td is electrically connected to the first electrode of the second transistor T2. Since the second transistor T2 is turned on in data writing sub-stage t2, the gate and second electrode of the driving transistor Td are connected and short-circuited, so only the PN junction between the gate and the first electrode of the driving transistor Td is effective, thus making the driving transistor Td a diode connection mode. The first transistor T1 is turned on in data writing sub-stage t2. The data voltage signal transmitted via the corresponding data line DL is received by the first electrode of the first transistor T1 and sequentially transmitted to the first electrode of the driving transistor Td, which is connected to the second electrode of the first transistor T1. Node N2, connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor Td, has a data voltage signal level. Since only the PN junction between the gate of the driving transistor Td and the first electrode is active, the voltage level at node N1 in the data write sub-stage t2 gradually rises to (Vdata + Vth), where Vdata is the data voltage signal level and Vth is the threshold voltage Th of the PN junction. Because the voltage difference between the first capacitor electrode Ce1 and the second capacitor electrode Ce2 decreases to a relatively small value, the storage capacitor Cst discharges. The corresponding light-emitting control signal line em provides a high voltage signal to cut off the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4.

[0082] In the light-emitting stage t3, a cutoff reset control signal is provided to the gate of the second reset transistor Tr2 via the corresponding second reset control signal line rst2 to turn off the second reset transistor Tr2. A cutoff reset control signal is provided to the gates of the first reset transistor Tr1 and the third reset transistor Tr3 via the corresponding first reset control signal line rst1 to turn off the first reset transistor Tr1 and the third reset transistor Tr3. Each first gate line GL1 and each second gate line GL2 is provided with a cutoff signal, and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned off. The corresponding light-emitting control signal line em is provided with a low voltage signal to turn on the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4. In the light-emitting stage t3, the voltage level at node N1 is maintained at (Vdata+Vth), and the driving transistor Td is turned on by this voltage level and operates in the saturation region. A path is formed through the third transistor T3, the driving transistor Td, the fourth transistor T4 to the light-emitting element LE. The driving transistor Td generates a driving current to drive the light-emitting element LE to emit light. The voltage level at node N3, which is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor Td, is equal to the light-emitting voltage of the light-emitting element LE.

In another example, the orthographic projections of the multiple segmented AUFs onto the substrate do not overlap with the orthographic projection of the active layer ACT2 of the second transistor onto the substrate. In yet another example, the orthographic projections of the multiple segmented AUFs onto the substrate do not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second electrode D2 of the second transistor onto the substrate. The inventors of this disclosure have found that this structure can minimize any interference from the light-shielding layer to the transistor (e.g., the second transistor).

[0168] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of the second signal line layer, the third signal line layer, and the anode layer in an array substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. (See reference...) Figure 3A , Figure 3N , Figure 3P , Figure 3R and Figure 15In some embodiments, the orthographic projections of the plurality of anode ADs on the substrate are substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first fan-out connection lines (e.g., corresponding first fan-out connection lines FIPh) on the substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlap, at least 90% non-overlap, at least 95% non-overlap, at least 99% non-overlap, or completely non-overlap). In some embodiments, the orthographic projections of the plurality of anode ADs on the substrate are substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first voltage supply lines (e.g., corresponding first voltage supply lines Vddh) on the substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlap, at least 90% non-overlap, at least 95% non-overlap, at least 99% non-overlap, or completely non-overlap).

[0169] Optionally, the orthographic projections of the plurality of anodes AD on the substrate are substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first fan-out connection lines (e.g., corresponding first fan-out connection lines FIPh) on the substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlap, at least 90% non-overlap, at least 95% non-overlap, at least 99% non-overlap, or completely non-overlap), and substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first voltage supply lines (e.g., corresponding first voltage supply lines Vddh) on the substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlap, at least 90% non-overlap, at least 95% non-overlap, at least 99% non-overlap, or completely non-overlap).

[0170] The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that the degree of evenness of the anode in a display panel can adversely affect image display. For example, anode tilt can cause color shift. This disclosure reveals that signal lines beneath the anode can significantly influence the degree of anode tilt. In one example, signal lines are positioned on one side below the anode, while no signal lines are present on the other side. This results in an uneven surface of the planarization layer on top of the signal lines. This uneven surface of the planarization layer, in turn, causes the anode on top of the planarization layer to tilt. For example, the presence of signal lines beneath the left portion of the planarization layer causes an uneven surface of the planarization layer, which in turn causes the anode on top of the planarization layer to tilt to the right. The tilted anode reflects more light towards the right side of the display panel. In a display panel, anodes associated with sub-pixels of different colors have different tilt angles, so light reflected by the anodes in sub-pixels of different colors is reflected at different angles to different colors of light. The cumulative effect of this problem leads to color shift at large viewing angles.

[0171] In this disclosure, by ensuring that the orthographic projections of the plurality of anodes (ADs) on the substrate do not substantially overlap with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first fan-out connection lines on the substrate, and also do not substantially overlap with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first voltage supply lines on the substrate, the surface of the array substrate below the anodes is made flat. Therefore, color shift problems can be mitigated.

[0172] In some embodiments, the anode layer includes a first corresponding anode RAD1, a second corresponding anode RAD2, a third corresponding anode RAD3, and a fourth corresponding anode RAD4. In one example, the first corresponding anode RAD1 is an anode for a sub-pixel of a first color (e.g., a red sub-pixel), the second corresponding anode RAD2 is an anode for a sub-pixel of a second color (e.g., a blue sub-pixel), and the third corresponding anode RAD3 and the fourth corresponding anode RAD4 are anodes for two sub-pixels of a third color (e.g., two green sub-pixels). In some embodiments, the array of multiple sub-pixels in the array substrate includes a repeating array in the form of RGBG, where R represents a red sub-pixel, B represents a blue sub-pixel, and G represents a green sub-pixel.

[0173] Figure 16 This is a diagram illustrating the structure of an anode layer in an array substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, a first corresponding anode RAD1 includes a first main anode portion MAP1 and a first extension E1 extending in a direction away from the first main anode portion MAP1. The first extension E1 connects the first main anode portion MAP1 to a first corresponding anode connection pad. In some embodiments, a second corresponding anode RAD2 includes a second main anode portion MAP2 and a second extension E2 extending in a direction away from the second main anode portion MAP2. The second extension E2 connects the second main anode portion MAP2 to a second corresponding anode connection pad. In some embodiments, a third corresponding anode RAD3 includes a third main anode portion MAP3 and a third extension E3 extending in a direction away from the third main anode portion MAP3. The third extension E3 connects the third main anode portion MAP3 to a third corresponding anode connection pad. In some embodiments, a fourth corresponding anode RAD4 includes a fourth main anode portion MAP4 and a fourth extension E4 extending in a direction away from the fourth main anode portion MAP4. The fourth extension E4 connects the fourth main anode portion MAP4 to a fourth corresponding anode connection pad. Optionally, the first extension E1 extends in a direction substantially parallel to the second direction DR2, moving away from the first main anode portion MAP1. Optionally, the second extension E2 extends in a direction substantially parallel to the second direction DR2, moving away from the second main anode portion MAP2. Optionally, the third extension E3 extends in a direction substantially parallel to the first direction DR1, moving away from the third main anode portion MAP3. Optionally, the fourth extension E4 extends in a direction substantially parallel to the first direction DR1, moving away from the fourth main anode portion MAP4.

[0174] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first main anode portion MAP1 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first fan-out connection lines on the substrate, nor does it overlap with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first voltage supply lines on the substrate. In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the second main anode portion MAP2 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first fan-out connection lines on the substrate, nor does it overlap with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first voltage supply lines on the substrate. In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the third main anode portion MAP3 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first fan-out connection lines on the substrate, nor does it overlap with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first voltage supply lines on the substrate. In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the fourth main anode portion MAP4 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first fan-out connection lines on the substrate, nor does it overlap with the orthographic projections of the plurality of first voltage supply lines on the substrate.

[0175] In some embodiments, the orthographic projections of a plurality of second voltage supply lines (e.g., corresponding second voltage supply lines Vddv) on the substrate substantially cover (e.g., cover at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or completely cover) the orthographic projection of the first corresponding anode RAD1 on the substrate. In some embodiments, the orthographic projections of a plurality of second voltage supply lines (e.g., corresponding second voltage supply lines Vddv) on the substrate substantially cover (e.g., cover at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or completely cover) the orthographic projection of the second corresponding anode RAD2 on the substrate. The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that by making the orthographic projections of a plurality of second voltage supply lines on the substrate cover the orthographic projections of the first corresponding anode RAD1 and the second corresponding anode RAD2 on the substrate, a planarization layer can be made flat on the surface beneath the first corresponding anode RAD1 and the second corresponding anode RAD2. Therefore, color shift problems can be mitigated.

[0176] In some embodiments, the orthographic projections of the plurality of second voltage supply lines on the substrate completely cover the orthographic projection of the first main anode portion MAP1 on the substrate. In some embodiments, the orthographic projections of the plurality of second voltage supply lines on the substrate completely cover the orthographic projection of the second main anode portion MAP2 on the substrate.

Figure 15As shown. Two adjacent data lines and two adjacent second fan-out connection lines cross the third corresponding anode RAD3 along the second direction DR2, and the two adjacent data lines and two adjacent second fan-out connection lines are substantially uniformly distributed along the first direction DR1 relative to the third main anode portion MAP3 of the third corresponding anode RAD3. For example, the portions of two adjacent data lines and two adjacent second fan-out connection lines in the region crossing the third main anode portion MAP3 are equally spaced. In another example, the portions of two adjacent data lines and two adjacent second fan-out connection lines in the region crossing the third main anode portion MAP3 have mirror symmetry with respect to a plane intersecting the center point of the third main anode portion MAP3 and perpendicular to the third main anode portion MAP3. The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that by having a unique structure of anodes and signal lines according to this disclosure, a planarization layer can be made flat on the surface below the third corresponding anode RAD3. Therefore, color shift problems can be mitigated.

[0178] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the fourth corresponding anode RAD4 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projections of the two adjacent data lines and the two adjacent second fan-out connection lines on the substrate, such as Figure 15 As shown in the diagram, two adjacent data lines and two adjacent second fan-out connection lines cross the fourth corresponding anode RAD4 along the second direction DR2, and the two adjacent data lines and two adjacent second fan-out connection lines are substantially uniformly distributed relative to the fourth main anode portion MAP4 of the fourth corresponding anode RAD4 along the first direction DR1. For example, the portions of two adjacent data lines and two adjacent second fan-out connection lines in the region crossing the fourth main anode portion MAP4 are equally spaced. In another example, the portions of two adjacent data lines and two adjacent second fan-out connection lines in the region crossing the fourth main anode portion MAP4 have mirror symmetry with respect to a plane intersecting the center point of the fourth main anode portion MAP4 and perpendicular to the fourth main anode portion MAP4. The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that by having a unique structure of anodes and signal lines according to this disclosure, a planarization layer can be made flat on the surface below the fourth corresponding anode RAD4. Therefore, color shift problems can be mitigated.
