[0002] With the development of display devices, the requirements of existing display devices for power consumption and screen ratio are higher and higher. In order to reduce power consumption and improve screen ratio, the existing display devices will adopt low temperature polysilicon oxide (LTPO) technology.

Therefore, when the first time is punched to the polysilicon layer, the first gate layer and the second gate layer, the number of holes above the channel of the driving transistor is less than the number of holes below the channel of the driving transistor, which will cause the uneven distribution of holes in the upper and lower areas of the driving transistor, and further cause the electrical property of the driving transistor to be greatly affected by defects, and the problem of bright and dark spots is prone to occur during display.

[0045] As an introduction to the embodiments of the present application, a display device is provided to illustrate the principle of the technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 The display device includes a polysilicon film 11, a first gate film 12, a second gate film 13, a metal oxide film 14 and a third gate film 15 arranged in sequence, each metal film forms an electrode and a signal line of each transistor, and each semiconductor film forms an active pattern of each transistor. In the display device, in order to make the oxide thin film transistor exist a punching space, the channels of a plurality of low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistors are arranged on one side of the channel of the driving transistor, so that the display device is punched for the first time to the polysilicon film 11, the first gate film 12 and the second gate film 13, and the display device is punched for the second time to the third gate film 15, so that the channels of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistors are arranged on the other side of the channel of the driving transistor. Figure 2 As can be seen from the above, the number of the connecting holes 16 located below the channel 111 of the driving transistor is more than the number of the connecting holes 16 above the channel 111 of the driving transistor. When a defect occurs in a certain pixel in the display device, the hydrogen inside the pixel will be released outward through the defect, resulting in a decrease in hydrogen, and the electrical properties of the driving transistor will be offset, thereby causing a difference in electrical properties between two adjacent pixels, and a display uneven problem occurs during display. Therefore, the existing display device has the technical problem that the hole density on the upper and lower sides of the driving transistor is uneven, resulting in display abnormalities.

Figure 27 A timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0050] As shown in Figures 3 to 26 The display panel 2 includes a substrate 21 and a driving circuit layer 22, the driving circuit layer 22 is arranged on one side of the substrate 21, the driving circuit layer 22 includes a first active layer 224, the first active layer 224 is arranged on one side of the substrate 21, the driving circuit layer 22 further includes a pixel driving circuit 31, the pixel driving circuit 31 includes a switching transistor T2, a driving transistor T1, a compensation transistor T3 and a first initialization transistor T4, the switching transistor T2 and the driving transistor T1 are connected to a first node A; one electrode of the compensation transistor T3 and one electrode of the first initialization transistor T4 are connected to a second node Q, the other electrode of the compensation transistor T3 and the driving transistor T1 are connected to a third node B.

[0051] The first active layer 224 includes an active pattern T1A of the driving transistor T1 and an active pattern T2A of the switching transistor T2, the active pattern T1A of the driving transistor T1 is arranged along a first direction X, the active pattern T2A of the switching transistor T2 is arranged along a second direction Y, at least one compensation hole 311a is arranged in at least one of the pixel driving circuits 31 in the second direction Y, the compensation hole 311a is arranged on a side of the active pattern T1A of the driving transistor T1 close to the active pattern T2A of the switching transistor T2, the compensation hole 311a and the projection of the active pattern T2A of the switching transistor T2 on the substrate 21 do not overlap, and the angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 90 degrees.

[0052] An embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, which is configured such that at least one compensation hole is provided in at least one pixel driving circuit in a second direction. The compensation hole is provided on a side of the active pattern of the driving transistor close to the active pattern of the switching transistor, and the compensation hole does not overlap with the projection of the active pattern of the switching transistor on the substrate. Therefore, compensation holes can be added above the active pattern of the driving transistor so that the number of holes above the active pattern of the driving transistor is similar to the number of holes below the active pattern of the driving transistor. Therefore, when there are defects in the display panel, the holes can also produce a dehydrogenation effect, so that the influence of the defects on the dehydrogenation effect can be reduced, thereby reducing the influence of the defects on the electrical properties of the driving transistor, making the electrical properties of the driving transistors in each pixel similar, thereby avoiding display unevenness and improving the display effect.

[0053] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application adds compensation holes on the side of the active pattern of the driving transistor close to the active pattern of the switching transistor, so that the distribution of the compensation holes around the active pattern of the driving transistor is more uniform, thereby reducing the impact of defects on the electrical properties of the driving transistor and making the display uniformity of the display panel better. The compensation holes avoid the active pattern of the switching transistor to avoid affecting the active pattern of the switching transistor.

[0054] Specifically, the principle of improving the uniformity of the display panel by the embodiment of the present application compared to the current display device is as follows: defects are prone to occur during the preparation of the display panel, such as film breakdown or damage caused by particles, or film fracture. When a pixel in the display panel has a defect, the hydrogen in the pixel will be released outward through the defect, resulting in a decrease in hydrogen and a shift in the electrical properties of the transistor, thereby causing a difference in the electrical properties of the pixel and other pixels, resulting in a brightness difference during display and uneven display. The embodiment of the present application takes into account that the position where the hole is provided can also release hydrogen. When the defect occurs at a position with a high hole density, since the hole has already released hydrogen, the defect has less impact on the transistor of the pixel, thereby making the electrical difference between the defective pixel and the non-defective pixel, and the pixel with fewer defects and the pixel with more defects smaller. Therefore, by reducing the area with low hole density, the display unevenness caused by excessive electrical differences between pixels can be avoided. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can increase the hole density above the active pattern of the driving transistor by providing at least one compensation hole above the active pattern of the driving transistor, reduce the impact of the defect on the electrical properties of the pixel, and improve display uniformity.

By making the compensation hole penetrate the first interlayer insulating layer, the third gate insulating layer, and the second interlayer insulating layer, and arranging the compensation hole corresponding to the first connection portion, the compensation hole corresponding to the first connection portion can be changed from being arranged below the active pattern of the drive transistor to being arranged above the active pattern of the drive transistor, without the need to increase the number of compensation holes, and the density of holes above the active pattern of the drive transistor is increased, thereby reducing the influence of defects in the display panel on the electrical properties of the transistors in the pixels, improving the uniformity of the brightness of each pixel, and improving the display uniformity.

By arranging the compensation active pattern, the projection of the compensation active pattern on the substrate is located above the active pattern of the drive transistor, a compensation hole can be arranged on the compensation active pattern, the density of holes above the active pattern of the drive transistor is increased, thereby reducing the influence of defects in the display panel on the electrical properties of the transistors in the pixels, improving the uniformity of the brightness of each pixel, and improving the display uniformity.

[0081] Specifically, it can be understood that the specific positions of the active patterns of the transistors can be determined according to the specific positions of the gates of the transistors, for example, the specific position of the active pattern of the driving transistor can be determined according to the overlapping position of the active pattern of the driving transistor and the gate of the driving transistor.

[0083] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a laminated diagram of the first active layer 224 and the first gate layer 226 of the display panel in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 is an exploded diagram of the first active layer 224 of the display panel in the embodiment of the present application, in Figure 5 , the structures in the first active layer are identified, in order to clearly identify the structures of the first gate layer 226, and since the first active layer and the first gate layer are laminated, part of the structures of the first active layer are shielded by the first gate layer, in Figure 6 , the structures in the first active layer are not identified, and only the first active layer 224 and the structures of the first gate layer 226 are identified, it can be understood that Figure 6 , the specific structure of the first active layer 224 in Figure 5 may be referred to , and for the same reason, in other laminated diagrams, only the specific structures of the uppermost film layer or the compensation hole are identified, and the specific structures of the lower compensation hole and film layer can be referred to the specific identification in other drawings, which will not be described in the following embodiments.

[0084] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the gate T2G of the switching transistor T2 is part of the first scanning signal line Pscan. It can be understood that since the gates T2G of all the switching transistors T2 in a row of pixel units are connected to the same first scanning signal line Pscan, when the first scanning signal line Pscan is formed, the portion of the first scanning signal line corresponding to the channel of the switching transistor T2 of each pixel unit serves as the gate of the switching transistor T2 of each pixel unit. Therefore, two reference numerals are used to identify the same structure.

When multiple reference numerals are used to identify the same structure in other drawings, please refer to the above description and will not be repeated in the following embodiments.

[0085] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first gate layer 226 further includes a first plate Cboost1 of the boost capacitor Cboost.

[0086] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 7As shown, the second gate layer 228 includes a first part Nscan1a of the second scan signal line Nscan1, a first part Nscan2a of the third scan signal line Nscan2, a second plate Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst and the second initialization signal line VI-ANO, the first part Nscan2a of the third scan signal line Nscan2, the first part Nscan1a of the second scan signal line Nscan1, the second plate Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst and the second initialization signal line VI-ANO are arranged along the second direction Y, the second plate Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst is provided with a first connection portion L1, and the projection of the first connection portion L1 on the substrate 21 is located on the side of the active pattern T1A of the driving transistor T1 close to the first part Nscan1a of the second scan signal line Nscan1. By arranging the first connection portion of the storage capacitor on the side of the first portion of the active pattern of the driving transistor close to the second scanning signal line, when the second plate of the storage capacitor is connected to the high-potential power line through the metal in the compensation hole, the compensation hole can be located on the side of the first portion of the active pattern of the driving transistor close to the second scanning line, thereby increasing the hole density above the active pattern of the driving transistor, reducing the impact of defects in the display panel on the electrical properties of the transistor in the pixel, improving the uniformity of the brightness of each pixel, and improving display uniformity.

[0087] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, a through hole is provided on the second plate Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst, so that the first electrode of the compensation transistor can pass through the through hole of the second plate of the storage capacitor to be connected to the gate of the driving transistor, so that the pixel driving circuit works normally.

[0088] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the projection of the first connection portion L1 on the substrate 21 is located between the projection of the active pattern T1A of the driving transistor T1 on the substrate and the projection of the first portion Nscan1a of the second scan signal line Nscan1 on the substrate.

By overlapping the projection of the third initialization signal line on the substrate with the projection of the fourth scan signal line on the substrate, the space occupied by the signal lines can be reduced, and the resolution of the display panel can be improved.

[0093] Specifically, as shown in Figure 9 The third gate layer 232 includes a second gate T3Gb of the compensation transistor T3 and a second gate T4Gb of the first initialization transistor T4.

[0094] Specifically, the second part Nscan1b of the second scan signal line Nscan1 is connected with the first part Nscan1a of the second scan signal line Nscan1, and the second part Nscan2b of the third scan signal line Nscan2 is connected with the first part Nscan2a of the third scan signal line Nscan2. Since the connection between the second part Nscan1b of the second scan signal line and the first part Nscan1a of the second scan signal line is located at the edge of the display area or in the non-display area, the connection between the two is not shown in the figure. Similarly, the connection between the second part Nscan2b of the third scan signal line Nscan2 and the first part Nscan2a of the third scan signal line Nscan2 is not shown.

[0097] Specifically, the compensation hole is one of the first-type via holes 311. By making the compensation hole one of the first-type via holes, the process steps can be avoided, so that the process complexity is avoided when improving the display effect.

[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 10 As shown, the compensation hole 311a passes through the first interlayer insulating layer 229, the third gate insulating layer 231 and the second interlayer insulating layer 233, and the compensation hole 311a is arranged corresponding to the first connection portion L1. By making the compensation hole pass through the first interlayer insulating layer, the third gate insulating layer and the second interlayer insulating layer, and the compensation hole corresponding to the first connection portion, the compensation hole corresponding to the first connection portion can be changed from below the active pattern of the drive transistor to above the active pattern of the drive transistor, without the need to increase the additional compensation hole, and the hole density above the active pattern of the drive transistor is increased, so that the influence of the defects in the display panel on the electrical properties of the transistors in the pixels is reduced, the uniformity of the brightness of each pixel is improved, and the display uniformity is improved.

[0099] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 11 As shown, the display panel 2 includes second-type via holes 312, part of the second-type via holes 312 pass through the third gate insulating layer and the second interlayer insulating layer, and part of the second-type via holes 312 pass through the second interlayer insulating layer.

[0100] Specifically, when forming the connection holes on the display panel, part of the connection holes are formed by one process, and the second-type via holes 312 in the embodiments of the present application represent the connection holes formed by one process, and the second-type via holes 312 refer to the connection holes etched from the insulating layer under the first source-drain layer to the second active layer or the third gate layer.

[0102] Specifically, it can be understood that due to the connection of the electrodes of some transistors, some electrodes are actually the same structure when the transistor is actually formed, for example, the first electrode T3S of the compensation transistor and the second electrode T4D of the first initialization transistor are actually the same structure, and similarly, the second electrode T6D of the second light-emitting control transistor T6 and the second electrode T7D of the second initialization transistor T7 are actually the same structure, and for the first electrode of the drive transistor T1 and the second electrode of the drive transistor T1, the first electrode of the drive transistor T1 is connected with the second electrode of the switch transistor T2 and the second electrode T5D of the first light-emitting control transistor T5, and in actual preparation, only one structure will be prepared, so the second electrode T5D of the first light-emitting control transistor T5 can be considered as the first electrode of the drive transistor T1 and the second electrode of the switch transistor T2 at the same time, and similarly, the first electrode T6S of the second light-emitting control transistor T6 can be considered as the second electrode of the drive transistor T1 at the same time.
