AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the existing display panel displays a solid color screen, the data signals on the data line need to jump frequently, resulting in an increase in the power consumption of the driver chip and cannot be effectively reduced.

Method used

A display panel structure is adopted, in which the light emitting colors of the light emitting elements are different. The light emitting elements of the same color are connected through a separate data line to avoid the data signal from jumping between different colors, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driver chip connected to the data line.

Benefits of technology

When displaying solid color screens, the data signals on the data line do not need to jump, which significantly reduces the power consumption of the driver chip and improves the energy efficiency performance of the display panel.

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain the present application and are not configured to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.

[0099] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "include..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0100] It should be understood that when describing the structure of a component, when a layer or a region is referred to as being "on" or "over" another layer or another region, it may mean that it is directly on the other layer or another region, or that other layers or regions are included between it and the other layer or another region. Moreover, if the component is turned over, the layer or a region will be "below" or "beneath" another layer or another region.

[0101] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0102] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "electrically connected" may refer to a direct electrical connection between two components, or may refer to an electrical connection between two components via one or more other components. The term "drive" may refer to "control" or "operate". The term "part" may refer to "local". The term "pattern" may refer to "component". The term "end" may refer to "end segment" or "end edge". The display panel may be a display device or a module / part of a display device.

[0103] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made in the present application without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is intended to cover modifications and changes of the present application that fall within the scope of the corresponding claims (technical solutions for protection) and their equivalents. It should be noted that the implementation methods provided in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without contradiction.

[0104] Before describing the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, in order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiment of the present application, the present application first shows a comparative example. Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a structure of a display panel in a comparative example, wherein the display panel includes a red sub-pixel R, a green sub-pixel G, and a blue sub-pixel B. The data line DL1 connects the red sub-pixel R and the blue sub-pixel B in the same column, and the data line DL2 connects the green sub-pixel G in the same column. The data line is used to provide a data signal to the sub-pixel. The data line is connected to a driver chip (not shown in the figure), and the driver chip is used to generate a data signal.

[0105] Take the display panel displaying a pure color picture (such as a pure red picture or a pure blue picture) as an example. Figure 2 As shown, the voltage on the data line DL1 will jump back and forth, resulting in an increase in the power consumption of the driving chip connected to the data line.

[0106] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a display panel and a display device. The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0107] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a light emitting element 10 , a pixel circuit 20 , and a data line 30 .

[0108] Exemplarily, the light emitting element 10 includes an organic light emitting diode (OLED). The light emitting element 10 includes an anode, a light emitting layer and a cathode. The location of the light emitting element in the drawings of the present application can be understood as the location of the anode of the light emitting element.

[0109] The data line 30 is electrically connected to the pixel circuit 20, and is used to provide a data signal to the pixel circuit 20. The pixel circuit 20 generates a certain driving current based on the data signal from the data line 30, and the driving current is used to drive the light emitting element 10.

[0110] The data line 30 is electrically connected to a driving chip (not shown in the figure), and the driving chip is used to generate a data signal and transmit it to the data line 30 .

[0111] The light emitting element 10 includes a first light emitting element 11 , a second light emitting element 12 , and a third light emitting element 13 . The first light emitting element 11 , the second light emitting element 12 , and the third light emitting element 13 emit light of different colors.

[0112] The first unit column 10a includes first light emitting elements 11 and second light emitting elements 12 arranged alternately in a first direction X, the second unit column 10b includes a plurality of third light emitting elements 13 arranged in the first direction X, the first unit column 10a and the second unit column 10b are arranged alternately in a second direction Y, and the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y. For example, the first direction X is a column direction, and the second direction Y is a row direction.

[0113] As an example, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first light emitting element 11 is a red light emitting element, the second light emitting element 12 is a blue light emitting element, and the third light emitting element 13 is a green light emitting element. In this example, the red light emitting elements and the blue light emitting elements are alternately arranged in one column, and the green light emitting elements are arranged in another column.

[0114] As another example, the first light emitting element 11 is a red light emitting element, the second light emitting element 12 is a green light emitting element, and the third light emitting element 13 is a blue light emitting element, which will be illustrated in subsequent drawings. In this example, the red light emitting elements and the green light emitting elements are alternately arranged in one column, and the blue light emitting elements are arranged in another column.

[0115] It should be noted that the light emitting colors of the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element are interchangeable.

[0116] Exemplarily, the stacked structures of different light-emitting elements are the same. For example, light-emitting elements of three colors all include a stacked anode, a light-emitting layer, and a cathode, wherein the anode of the light-emitting element is electrically connected to the pixel circuit through a via (one end of the via extends to the film layer where the anode is located and overlaps with the anode or the anode and the via are connected by a wiring).

[0117] The pixel circuit 20 includes a first pixel circuit 21, a second pixel circuit 22 and a third pixel circuit 23. It should be noted that in the drawings marked with pixel circuits in the present application, the approximate location of the pixel circuits is indicated by a dotted frame.

[0118] A plurality of pixel circuits 20 constitute a first circuit column 20a, a second circuit column 20b and a third circuit column 20c. The first circuit column 20a includes a plurality of first pixel circuits 21 arranged in a first direction X, the second circuit column 20b includes a plurality of second pixel circuits 22 arranged in the first direction X, and the third circuit column 20c includes a plurality of third pixel circuits 23 arranged in the first direction X.

[0119] It is understandable that the first circuit column 20a does not include the second pixel circuit 22 and the third pixel circuit 23, the second circuit column 20b does not include the first pixel circuit 21 and the third pixel circuit 23, and the third circuit column 20c does not include the first pixel circuit 21 and the second pixel circuit 22.

[0120] The first pixel circuit 21 is electrically connected to the first data line 31 and the first light emitting element 11 , the second pixel circuit 22 is electrically connected to the second data line 32 and the second light emitting element 12 , and the third pixel circuit 23 is electrically connected to the third data line 33 and the third light emitting element 13 .

[0121] From the perspective of transmitting data signals, the first data line 31 is only used to transmit the data signal required by the first light-emitting element 11 , the second data line 32 is only used to transmit the data signal required by the second light-emitting element 12 , and the third data line 33 is only used to transmit the data signal required by the third light-emitting element 13 .

[0122] For example, when displaying a pure color picture corresponding to the first light-emitting element 11, the first data line 31 only needs to transmit the data signal required by the first light-emitting element 11, and does not need to transmit the data signal required by the second light-emitting element 12, so the first data line 31 does not need to provide a changing data signal. Similarly, when displaying a pure color picture corresponding to the second light-emitting element 12, the second data line 32 only needs to transmit the data signal required by the second light-emitting element 12, and does not need to transmit the data signal required by the first light-emitting element 11, so the second data line 32 does not need to provide a changing data signal.

[0123] According to the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application, one data line is used to provide the data signal required by the light-emitting elements of the same light-emitting color. In this way, during the display of a pure color picture, the data signal on the data line does not need to jump, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driving chip connected to the data line.

[0124] It should be noted that Figures 3 to 5In the figure, the first data line 31 overlaps with the first circuit column 20a to indicate that the first data line 31 is electrically connected to each first pixel circuit 21 in the first circuit column 20a, the second data line 32 overlaps with the second circuit column 20b to indicate that the second data line 32 is electrically connected to each second pixel circuit 22 in the second circuit column 20b, and the third data line 33 overlaps with the third circuit column 20c to indicate that the third data line 33 is electrically connected to each third pixel circuit in the third circuit column 20c. One end of the routing 01 points to the first light-emitting element 11, and the other end points to the first data line 31, which is used to indicate that the first data line 31 is used to provide the data signal required by the first light-emitting element 11, rather than limiting the first light-emitting element 11 and the first data line 31 to be electrically connected through the routing 01. The same is true for routing 02 and routing 03, which will not be repeated here. In addition, in order to distinguish the structure of the marking line and the display panel, the marking line extending into the width of the dotted line is marked with an arrow, for example, the marking lines corresponding to 11, 12, and 13 are marked with arrows.

[0125] As an example, Figure 3 As shown, (i) to (i+3) and (j) to (j+3) represent 8 unit columns, and 9 circuit columns are schematically shown, wherein the (i), (i+1), (i+2), and (i+3) unit columns are 4 first unit columns 10a, and the (j), (j+1), (j+2), and (j+3) unit columns are 4 second unit columns 10b. 20a1, 20a2, and 20a3 represent 3 first circuit columns 20a, 20b1, 20b2 represent 2 second circuit columns 20b, and 20c1, 20c2, 20c3, and 20c4 represent 4 third circuit columns 20c.

[0126] Figure 3 Relative to Figure 1 In the example shown, the relative positional relationship between the third light emitting element 13 and the pixel circuit connected thereto remains unchanged, and the differences include:

[0127] The first pixel circuit 21 in the first first circuit column 20a1 is used to drive the first light-emitting element 21 in the (i)th first unit column 10a, the first pixel circuit 21 in the second first circuit column 20a2 is used to drive the first light-emitting element 21 in the (i+1)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a, and the first pixel circuit 21 in the third first circuit column 20a3 is used to drive the first light-emitting element 21 in the (i+3)th first unit column 10a.

[0128] The second pixel circuit 22 in the first second circuit column 20b1 is used to drive the second light-emitting elements 22 in the (i)th and (i+1)th first unit columns 10a, and the second pixel circuit 22 in the second second circuit column 20b is used to drive the second light-emitting elements 22 in the (i+2)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a.

[0129] Figure 3 The number of columns of pixel circuits is one more than the number of columns of light-emitting elements, wherein the first first circuit column 20a1 and the third first circuit column 20a3 include virtual pixel circuits dummy, which are not connected to the light-emitting elements, that is, the virtual pixel circuits dummy are not used to drive the light-emitting elements.

[0130] It should be noted that the number of pixel circuit columns here means that at least one pixel circuit in the pixel circuit column is connected to the light emitting element. Exemplarily, the display panel may also include a virtual pixel circuit column, and none of the virtual pixel circuits in the virtual pixel circuit column is used to drive the light emitting element.

[0131] As another example, Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 and Figure 3 The differences are as follows:

[0132] The first pixel circuit 21 in the first first circuit column 20a1 is used to drive the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i)th and (i+1)th first unit columns 10a, and the first pixel circuit 21 in the second first circuit column 20a2 is used to drive the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i+2)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a.

[0133] The second pixel circuit 22 in the first second circuit column 20b1 is used to drive the second light-emitting element 12 in the (i)th first unit column 10a, the second pixel circuit 22 in the second second circuit column 20b2 is used to drive the second light-emitting element 12 in the (i+1)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a, and the second pixel circuit 22 in the third second circuit column 20b3 is used to drive the second light-emitting element 12 in the (i+3)th first unit column 10a.

[0134] Figure 4 The number of columns of pixel circuits is one more than the number of columns of light-emitting elements, wherein the first second circuit column 20b1 and the third second circuit column 20b3 include dummy pixel circuits dummy.

[0135] As another example, Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 and Figure 3 , Figure 4The differences are as follows:

[0136] The first pixel circuit 21 in the first first circuit column 20a1 is used to drive the first light-emitting element 21 in the (i)th and (i+1)th first unit column 10a, and the first pixel circuit 21 in the second first circuit column 20a2 is used to drive the first light-emitting element 21 in the (i+2)th and (i+3)th first unit column 10a.

[0137] The second pixel circuit 22 in the first second circuit column 20b1 is used to drive the second light-emitting element 22 in the (i)th and (i+1)th first unit column 10a, and the second pixel circuit 22 in the second second circuit column 20b2 is used to drive the second light-emitting element 22 in the (i+2)th and (i+3)th first unit column 10a.

[0138] Figure 5 The number of columns of pixel circuits is equal to the number of columns of light-emitting elements. Figure 5 Each circuit column does not include a dummy pixel circuit.

[0139] It should be noted that Figures 3 to 5 It is not intended to limit the present application. In other embodiments, the arrangement structure of the light-emitting elements of the display panel may be other methods, or the arrangement structure of the pixel circuit may be other methods. As long as the same column of units includes light-emitting elements of different colors, the light-emitting elements of the same color can be connected through data lines to reduce the power consumption of the driving chip.

[0140] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, for the first circuit column without a dummy pixel circuit dummy, the first circuit column needs to be electrically connected to the first light-emitting elements located in the two unit columns, so for at least part of the first light-emitting elements, it is necessary to set a connecting line to connect the first light-emitting element and the first pixel circuit, and the longer the connecting line, the greater the voltage drop, which will affect the driving ability of the first pixel circuit to the first light-emitting element. Similarly, the second light-emitting element and the second pixel circuit electrically connected thereto also have the same situation. Therefore, while achieving reduced power consumption, how to take into account the driving ability of the pixel circuit is also relatively important.

[0141] To this end, in some embodiments, Figure 3 or Figure 4 As shown, the number of columns of pixel circuits in the display panel is greater than the number of columns of light-emitting elements, and some of the circuit columns include virtual pixel circuits. Figures 6 to 8 A schematic diagram showing the arrangement of connection vias between the light emitting element and the pixel circuit is shown. Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8In the following schematic diagrams, vertical dotted lines are used to indicate the approximate positions of multiple circuit columns. In order to avoid too many dotted lines, the approximate position of each pixel circuit is not circled with a dotted box. It can be understood that a circuit column between two vertical dotted lines includes multiple pixel circuits.

[0142] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the first light-emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21 through the first via 41. The first end of the first via 41 extends to the film layer where the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 is located, and the second end of the first via 41 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21. The multiple first vias 41 corresponding to the same first circuit column 20a constitute a first via column 41a. For the first circuit column that does not include the virtual pixel circuit, in the second direction Y, the multiple first light-emitting elements 11 electrically connected to the first pixel circuit through the vias on the same first via column 41a are respectively located on both sides of the first via column 41a. In the figure, a plurality of first vias located in the same column are circled with a dotted frame to represent the first via column, and a plurality of second vias located in the same column are circled with another dotted frame to represent the second via column.

[0143] For example, Figure 7 The first unit column 10a includes 4 first unit columns 10a from the i-th to the i+3-th, 4 second unit columns 10b from the j-th to the j+3-th, 8 pixel circuit columns, and 8 circuit columns. The first unit column 10a includes first light-emitting elements 11 and second light-emitting elements 12 alternately arranged in the first direction X. For example, the first light-emitting element 11 is a red light-emitting element, and the second light-emitting element 12 is a blue light-emitting element. The second unit column 10b is arranged with third light-emitting elements 13, for example, the third light-emitting element 13 is a green light-emitting element.

[0144] The first circuit column 20a includes a plurality of first pixel circuits 21 arranged along the first direction, and the first pixel circuits 21 are used to drive the first light-emitting element 11. The second circuit column 20b includes a plurality of second pixel circuits 22 arranged along the first direction, and the second pixel circuits 22 are used to drive the second light-emitting element 12. The third circuit column 20c includes a plurality of third pixel circuits 23 arranged along the first direction, and the third pixel circuits 23 are used for the third light-emitting element 13.

[0145] by Figure 6 and Figure 7For example, the second first circuit column 20a2 in the embodiment of the present invention does not include a virtual pixel circuit. The second first circuit column 20a2 is used to drive the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i+1)th first unit column 10a and the (i+2)th first unit column 10a. The first via hole 41 of the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i+1)th first unit column 10a is on the right side of the first light-emitting element, while the first via hole 41 of the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i+2)th first unit column 10a is on the left side of the first light-emitting element. In other words, the first via holes of the first light-emitting elements connected to the same first circuit column and located in the two first unit columns are all arranged in a direction close to the first circuit column. In this way, the length of the connection line between the first light-emitting element and the first pixel circuit can be shortened, thereby avoiding a large voltage drop caused by an excessively long connection line, thereby achieving the goal of reducing power consumption while taking into account the driving capability of the first pixel circuit.

[0146] For example, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 For the first circuit column including the virtual pixel circuit, taking the first first circuit column 20a1 as an example, the first first circuit column 20a1 is used to drive the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i)th first unit column 10a, and the multiple first vias 41 of the (i)th first unit column 10a are located on the same side of the (i)th first unit column 10a.

[0147] The second light-emitting element 12 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22 through the second via hole 42, and the plurality of second via holes 42 corresponding to the same second circuit column 20b constitute a second via hole column 42a. The first end of the second via hole 42 extends to the film layer where the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 is located, and the second end of the second via hole 42 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22. For the second circuit column that does not include a dummy pixel circuit, in the second direction Y, the plurality of second light-emitting elements 12 electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22 through the via holes on the same second via hole column 42a are respectively located on both sides of the second via hole column 42a.

[0148] For example, the first second circuit column 20b1 does not include a virtual pixel circuit, and the first second circuit column 20b1 is used to drive the second light-emitting element 12 in the (i)th first unit column 10a and the (i+1)th first unit column 10a, and the second via hole 42 of the second light-emitting element 12 in the (i)th first unit column 10a is on the right side of the second light-emitting element, while the second via hole 42 of the second light-emitting element 12 in the (i+1)th first unit column 10a is on the left side of the second light-emitting element. In other words, the second via holes of the second light-emitting elements connected to the same second circuit column and located in the two first unit columns are all arranged in a direction close to the second circuit column, so that the length of the connection line between the second light-emitting element and the second pixel circuit can be shortened, thereby avoiding a large voltage drop caused by an excessively long connection line, thereby achieving the goal of reducing power consumption while taking into account the driving capability of the second pixel circuit.

[0149] For a first circuit column including a virtual pixel circuit, the corresponding plurality of first vias are on the same side of the first circuit column. Figure 6 The first first circuit column 20a1 includes dummy pixel circuits, and the corresponding first via holes are approximately located on the left side thereof.

[0150] For a second circuit column including a dummy pixel circuit, the corresponding plurality of second via holes are located on the same side of the second circuit column.

[0151] In some embodiments, Figures 6 to 8 As shown, for the same first unit column 10 a , in the second direction Y, the first via hole 41 and the second via hole 42 are respectively located on two sides of the first unit column 10 a .

[0152] For example, in the (i)th first unit column 10 a , the plurality of first vias 41 are all located on the left side of the (i)th first unit column 10 a , and the plurality of second vias 42 are all located on the right side of the (i)th first unit column 10 a .

[0153] For another example, in the (i+1)th first unit column 10a, the plurality of first vias 41 are all located on the right side of the (i+1)th first unit column 10a, and the plurality of second vias 42 are all located on the left side of the (i+1)th first unit column 10a.

[0154] Since the first light-emitting element 11 and the second light-emitting element 12 in the first unit column 10a are alternately distributed in the second direction Y, the first via 41 and the second via 42 are alternately distributed on both sides of the first unit column 10a, thereby avoiding the vias corresponding to the first unit column 10a from being distributed on the same side and causing the vias to be too dense; if the vias are too dense, they will occupy more layout space, which is not conducive to improving pixel density; therefore, the embodiment of the present application is conducive to improving pixel density and can improve signal interference between different vias.

[0155] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The first light emitting elements 11 and the second light emitting elements 12 are alternately arranged in the second direction Y to form a first unit row 10c. Figure 8 In the figure, (e) to (e+3) are marked next to the mark 10c, where (e) represents the (e)th first unit row 10c, (e+1) represents the (e+1)th first unit row 10c, (e+2) represents the (e+2)th first unit row 10c, and (e+3) represents the (e+3)th first unit row 10c.

[0156] A plurality of third light emitting elements 13 are arranged in the second direction Y to form a second unit row. In the first direction, the first unit row and the second unit row are arranged alternately.

[0157] For the same first unit row 10c, in the second direction Y, the relative position relationship between the first via 41 and the first light emitting element 11 is the same as the relative position relationship between the second via 42 and the second light emitting element 12. That is, for the same unit row, the first via and the second via are both located on the same side of the first light emitting element or the second light emitting element electrically connected thereto.

[0158] For example, in the (e)th and (e+2)th first unit rows 10c, the first vias 41 are both on the left side of the first light-emitting elements 11 connected thereto. For another example, in the (e+1)th and (e+3)th first unit rows 10c, the first vias 41 are both on the right side of the first light-emitting elements 11 connected thereto.

[0159] In this example, in the same first unit row 10c, the first vias 41 and the first light-emitting elements 11 electrically connected thereto are arranged according to the same position rule, so that the driving capabilities of the first light-emitting elements 11 in the same row are equivalent, which is beneficial to improving display uniformity.

[0160] For example, in the (e)th and (e+2)th first unit rows 10c, the second via 42 is on the left side of the second light emitting element 12 electrically connected thereto. For another example, in the (e+1)th and (e+3)th first unit rows 10c, the second via 42 is on the right side of the second light emitting element 12 electrically connected thereto.

[0161] Similarly, in the same first unit row 10c, the second vias 42 and the second light-emitting elements 12 electrically connected thereto are arranged according to the same position rule, so that the driving capabilities of the second light-emitting elements 12 in the same row are equivalent, which is beneficial to improving display uniformity.

[0162] It should be noted that, in this article, “left side” and “right side” refer to different sides and are not used to absolutely limit the left side or the right side.

[0163] Furthermore, the relative position relationship between the first via 41 and the first light-emitting element 11 and the relative position relationship between the second via 42 and the second light-emitting element 12 are the same, so that for the same first unit row, the first via and the second via are prevented from being adjacent to each other, which results in the vias being too dense. For adjacent first unit rows, the first via and the second via are located on different sides of the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element in different first unit rows. For example, Figure 8 In the (e)th first unit row 10c, the first via hole 41 and the second via hole 42 are both located at the first side of the first light-emitting element 11 and the second light-emitting element 12 electrically connected thereto, and in the (e+2)th first unit row 10c adjacent to the (e)th first unit row 10c, the first via hole 41 and the second via hole 42 are both located at the second side of the first light-emitting element 11 and the second light-emitting element 12 electrically connected thereto. This arrangement is conducive to connecting the first light-emitting elements in adjacent first unit columns to the same circuit column.

[0164] In some embodiments, Figures 6 to 18 As shown, the display panel may include at least two semiconductor layers. Fig.18 , the display panel includes a first semiconductor layer B1 and a second semiconductor layer B2. As an example, the material of the first semiconductor layer B1 includes low temperature polysilicon (LTPS), the material of the second semiconductor layer B2 includes indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), and the display panel is a low temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) type display panel. The carrier movement speed of the LTPS transistor is faster, and the leakage current of the IGZO transistor is smaller.

[0165] For example, the structure of the pixel circuit can be as follows: Fig.19 As shown, the driving transistor T3 can be a LTPS transistor, and the threshold compensation transistor T4 and the reset transistor T5 can be IGZO transistors. It should be noted that, Fig.19 The structures of the pixel circuits shown in the subsequent figures are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0166] like Fig.18 As shown, the display panel may also include an auxiliary metal layer M0, a first gate layer GAT, a capacitor metal layer MC, a second gate layer MG, a first metal layer SD1, a second metal layer SD2, a third metal layer SD3, and an anode layer RE. The relative position relationship of each film layer is referred to Fig.18, which will not be elaborated here one by one. It should be noted that the auxiliary metal layer M0 can be set according to the needs. In some examples, the auxiliary metal layer M0 may not be set. Similarly, the second metal layer SD2 and the third metal layer SD3 can be set according to the needs. In some examples, the second metal layer SD2 and the third metal layer SD3 may not be set. It can be understood that the first gate layer GAT, the capacitor metal layer MC, and the second gate layer MG are also metal layers. The first metal layer, the second metal layer, and the third metal layer in this article are just names for different metal layers, and are not used to limit the order of the metal layers.

[0167] Corresponds to Fig.18 The film structure shown and Fig.19 The circuit structure shown, Figures 8 to 17 The layout structure of each film layer is shown in order from top to bottom. Figure 8 The layout structure is an anode layer RE. The anode of the light-emitting element is arranged in the anode layer RE. The connection line between the light-emitting element and the pixel circuit can also be at least partially arranged in the anode layer RE. Fig. 9 The third metal layer SD3 may include wirings extending along the second direction Y, for example, power branch lines 612 and 624 . Fig.10 The second metal layer SD2 may include wirings extending along the first direction X, for example, data lines 31 - 33 , power branch lines 611 , 623 , 635 , and wirings 91 , 92 . Fig.11 Schematic diagram of the layout structure of the first metal layer SD1 . The first metal layer SD1 may include a wiring extending along the second direction, for example, a second line segment 72 for connecting a data line. Fig.12 Schematic diagram of the layout of the second gate layer MG. The second gate layer MG may include scan lines S1N and S2N extending along the second direction. Fig.13 The second semiconductor layer B2 may include an active layer of a transistor, for example, Fig.19 The active layers of the transistors T4 and T5 are arranged in the second semiconductor layer B2. Fig.14 The layout structure of the capacitor metal layer MC includes scan lines S1N and S2N extending along the second direction, reset signal lines Vref1 and Vref2, and a plate of the storage capacitor. Fig.15 is a layout structure of a first gate layer GAT. The first gate layer GAT includes scan lines SP and SP* extending along the second direction, and a light emitting control signal line EM. Fig.16 denoting the layout structure of the first semiconductor layer B1, the first semiconductor layer B1 may include an active layer of a transistor, for example, Fig.19 The active layers of the transistors T1-T3, T6-T8 are arranged on the first semiconductor layer B1. Fig.17It represents the layout structure of the auxiliary metal layer M0. The wiring structure in the auxiliary metal layer M0 can shield the active layer of the transistor from light to stabilize the characteristics of the transistor.

[0168] The anode of each light emitting element is arranged on the anode layer RE, the pixel definition layer PDL includes a pixel opening KK, and the light emitting layer ( Fig.18 ) is disposed correspondingly to the opening KK, the cathode of the light emitting element ( Fig.18 (not shown) covers its light-emitting layer.

[0169] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first end of the first via 41 through the first connecting wire 51, and the second end of the first via 41 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit. The first connecting wire 51 and the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 are located in the same film layer. Fig.18 The anode layer RE shown. The anode of the first light-emitting element 11 is the light-emitting area of ​​the first light-emitting element, and the first connecting line 51 can be a non-light-emitting area. In other words, in the thickness direction of the display panel, the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 overlaps with the opening KK, and the first connecting line 51 does not overlap with the opening KK.

[0170] The anode of the second light-emitting element 12 is electrically connected to the first end of the second via 42 through the second connection line 52, and the second end of the second via 42 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit. The second connection line 52 and the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 are located in the same film layer. Fig.18 The anode layer RE shown. The anode of the second light emitting element 12 is the light emitting area of ​​the second light emitting element, and the second connecting line 52 can be a non-light emitting area. In other words, in the thickness direction of the display panel, the anode of the second light emitting element 12 overlaps with the opening KK, and the second connecting line 52 does not overlap with the opening KK.

[0171] As described above, the multiple first light-emitting elements connected to the first circuit column are alternately distributed on both sides, so that the first light-emitting elements are relatively close to the first pixel circuits to which they need to be connected, and in the LTPO pixel circuit, the two adjacent pixel circuits in the second direction adopt a mirror design. This design method makes the length of the first connecting line between the first light-emitting element and the first pixel circuit not too long, so the film layer where the light-emitting element is located has space to set the first connecting line, without the need to change the line, which can avoid increasing the process difficulty. The second connecting line is the same, and will not be repeated here.

[0172] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8, the length of the first connecting wire 51 is less than the maximum width of the first light emitting element 11 along the second direction Y, and the length of the second connecting wire 50 is less than the maximum width of the second light emitting element 12 along the second direction Y. In other words, it is not necessary to set a winding around the anode in the module where the anode of the light emitting element is located. The short length of the connecting wire can reduce the impact of the voltage drop, and it is not necessary to wind the wire from one end of the light emitting element to the other end, which can avoid the problem of short circuit caused by the excessive length of the connecting wire on the anode layer.

[0173] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, for the same unit column, the extension directions of the first connection line 51 and the second connection line 52 intersect. For example, the extension directions of the first connection line 51 and the second connection line 52 corresponding to the (i)th first unit column 10a intersect. The intersection of the two connection lines can help to set the length of the connection line shorter.

[0174] Figure 3 The architecture shown can also be represented by Figures 20 to 30 The specific structure shown is implemented. Figures 20 to 30 In the structure shown, the display panel includes a semiconductor layer. Fig.29 As shown, the display panel includes a first semiconductor layer B1. For example, the material of the first semiconductor layer B1 includes LTPS, such as Fig.30 As shown, each transistor of the pixel circuit is a LTPS transistor. Fig.29 and Fig.18 , Fig.29 The film layer structure shown does not include the second semiconductor layer B2 and the second gate layer MG. Fig.29 The film structure shown and Fig.30 The circuit structure shown, Figure 22 to Figure 27 The layout structure of each film layer is shown in order from top to bottom. Fig. 22 It is a layout structure of an anode layer RE. The anode of the light-emitting element is arranged in the anode layer RE. The connection line between the light-emitting element and the pixel circuit can also be at least partially arranged in the anode layer RE. Fig.23 The third metal layer SD3 may include wirings extending along the second direction Y, for example, power branch lines 612 and 624 . Fig.24 The second metal layer SD2 may include wiring extending along the first direction X, for example, data lines 31 - 33 and power branch lines 611 , 623 , and 635 . Fig.25 The first metal layer SD1 may include wiring extending along the first direction, for example, reset signal lines Vref1 and Vref2 , and power branch lines 617 , 628 , and 639 . Fig.26The layout structure of the capacitor metal layer MC includes reset signal lines Vref1 and Vref2 extending along the second direction, and a plate of the storage capacitor. Fig. 27 The first gate layer GAT is a layout structure of the first gate layer GAT. The first gate layer GAT includes scan lines S1 and S2 extending along the second direction, and a light emitting control signal line EM. Fig.28 denoting the layout structure of the first semiconductor layer B1, the first semiconductor layer B1 may include an active layer of a transistor, for example, Fig.28 The active layers of the transistors M1 to M7 are arranged on the first semiconductor layer B1. It can be understood that Fig.29 A wiring structure may also be provided in the auxiliary metal layer M0 as shown. The wiring structure in the auxiliary metal layer M0 shields the active layer of the transistor from light, so as to stabilize the characteristics of the transistor.

[0175] For LTPS display panels, a non-mirror design is adopted. Even if a design method is adopted in which the multiple first light-emitting elements connected to the first circuit column are alternately distributed on both sides so that the first light-emitting elements are relatively close to the first pixel circuit to which they are required to be connected, in the non-mirror design, some first light-emitting elements will still be relatively far away from the first pixel circuit to which they are required to be connected. If the connecting wire is still completely set on the anode film layer, the connecting wire needs to bypass the anode of the light-emitting elements of other colors, which will make the length of the connecting wire longer, which will increase the voltage drop of the connecting wire, resulting in a weakened driving ability of the first pixel circuit for the first light-emitting element. In addition, if the connecting wire is completely set on the anode, the distance between the connecting wire and the anode of the other light-emitting element will be close, which will increase the risk of short circuit between different light-emitting elements. The second light-emitting element is the same, and will not be repeated here.

[0176] To address this, the first connecting line and the second connecting line may be designed in a cross-line manner (the cross-line includes a routing line arranged in at least two film layers).

[0177] For example, Fig.21 For example, the first light emitting element 11 is provided with a first connecting line 51, which is used to connect the first light emitting element 11 with the first pixel circuit. The second light emitting element 12 is provided with a second connecting line 52, which is used to connect the second light emitting element 12 with the second pixel circuit.

[0178] The first connecting line 51 includes a first section 511 and a second section 512 . The first section 511 is connected between the anode of the first light emitting element 11 and the first end of the first via hole 41 , and the second section 512 is connected between the second end of the first via hole 41 and the first pixel circuit.

[0179] The second connecting line 52 includes a third section 523 and a fourth section 524 . The third section 523 is connected between the anode of the second light emitting element 12 and the first end of the second via hole 42 . The fourth section 524 is connected between the second end of the second via hole 42 and the second pixel circuit.

[0180] The lengths of the first connection lines 51 corresponding to the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a are smaller than the lengths of the first connection lines 51 corresponding to the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a.

[0181] The lengths of the second connection lines 52 corresponding to the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a are greater than the lengths of the second connection lines 52 corresponding to the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a.

[0182] For details, please refer to Fig.21 , 22 and Fig.23 The display panel includes a first connecting line 51 and a second connecting line 52. The first connecting line 51 includes a first section 511 and a second section 512. The first section 511 is connected between the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 and the first end of the first via 41, and the second section 512 is connected between the second end of the first via 41 and the first pixel circuit. The first section 511 and the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 are located in the same film layer, and the second section 512 is located in the metal layer on the side of the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 facing the substrate.

[0183] The second connecting line 52 includes a third section 523 and a fourth section 524, the third section 523 is connected between the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 and the first end of the second via 42, the fourth section 524 is connected between the second end of the second via 42 and the second pixel circuit, the third section 523 and the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 are located in the same film layer, and the fourth section 524 is located in the metal layer on the side of the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 facing the substrate.

[0184] In the embodiment of the present application, since the second section 512 and the fourth section 524 are located in the metal layer below the anode, the length of the connecting line in the anode film layer can be reduced, and the connecting line in the metal layer is less constrained by the anode, and the routing of the connecting line can be set by connecting nearby. The second section 512 and the fourth section 524 are both straight lines and do not need to meander due to the constraint of the anode. Therefore, the total length of the first connecting line can be reduced as a whole, and the total length of the second connecting line can be reduced.

[0185] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig. 22 , Fig.23 , Fig.24 and Fig.29The display panel includes data lines, including first data lines 31, second data lines 32 and third data lines 33, and the three types of data lines are all in the same film layer. In the thickness direction of the display panel, the film layer where the second segment 512 and the fourth segment 524 are located is located between the film layer where the data lines are located and the anode of the light-emitting element.

[0186] For example, combined with reference Fig.24 and Fig.29 , data lines 31, 32, 33 are located in the second metal layer SD2, combined with reference Fig.23 and Fig.29 The second section 512 and the fourth section 524 are the third metal layer SD3, and the anodes of various light-emitting elements are located at Fig.29 In the anode layer RE shown, the third metal layer SD3 is located between the second metal layer SD2 and the anode layer RE. That is, in the thickness direction of the display panel, the second segment 512 and the fourth segment 524 are closer to the anode of the light-emitting element, which facilitates connecting the second segment 512 and the fourth segment 524 to the anode of the corresponding light-emitting element.

[0187] It should be noted that Figure 3 The implementation is not limited to Figures 6 to 30 The example shown, in other examples, Figure 3 The architecture shown can also be represented by Figure 31 to Figure 35 The specific structure shown is implemented. Exemplary, Figure 31 to Figure 35 The cross-sectional structure of the display panel corresponding to the structure shown in FIG. Fig.18 As shown, Fig.34 The structure in the layout shown is located in Fig.18 The third metal layer SD3 shown, Fig.35 The structure in the layout shown is located in Fig.18 The second metal layer SD2 is shown.

[0188] Figure 31 to Figure 35 The structure shown is Figures 6 to 19 The similarities of the structures shown are not described in detail, and the differences include: the routing of the second metal layer and the third metal layer are interchanged. For example, Figures 6 to 19 In the structure shown, the wiring extending in the first direction X is arranged in the second metal layer SD2, and the wiring extending in the second direction Y is arranged in the third metal layer SD3. Figure 31 to Figure 35 In the structure shown, the wiring extending in the first direction X is arranged in the third metal layer SD3, and the wiring extending in the second direction Y is arranged in the second metal layer SD2.

[0189] For example, Figure 8 , Fig. 22 , Fig.33 As shown, the layout of the anode layer can be roughly similar. Fig.34The third metal layer SD3 may include wirings extending along the first direction X, for example, data lines 31 - 33 , power branch lines 611 , 623 , 635 , and wirings 91 , 92 . Fig.35 The second metal layer SD2 may include wiring extending along the second direction Y, for example, power branch lines 612 and 624 .

[0190] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Fig. 20 or Fig.31 In the thickness direction of the display panel, the first circuit column 20a overlaps at least part of the plurality of first light-emitting elements 11 connected thereto, and the second circuit column 20b overlaps at least part of the plurality of second light-emitting elements 12 connected thereto.

[0191] For example, for the first circuit column 20a not including the dummy pixel circuit, the plurality of first light-emitting elements 11 connected to the first circuit column 20a are roughly alternately distributed on both sides thereof, and the first circuit column 20a at least partially overlaps with the first light-emitting elements 11 on the second side.

[0192] For another example, the plurality of second light-emitting elements 12 connected to the second circuit column 20 b are substantially alternately distributed on both sides thereof, and the second circuit column 20 b at least partially overlaps with the second light-emitting elements 12 on the second side.

[0193] When the light-emitting element overlaps with the pixel circuit electrically connected to it, the distance between the light-emitting element and the pixel circuit will not be too far, so as to avoid the length of the connecting line between the light-emitting element and the pixel circuit being too long, thereby ensuring the pixel circuit's driving ability for the light-emitting element.

[0194] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 or Fig.32 In the thickness direction of the display panel, a portion of the first unit column 10a at least partially overlaps with the first data line 31 and the third data line 33, another portion of the first unit column 10a at least partially overlaps with the second data line 32 and the third data line 33, and the second unit column 10b has no overlap with the data line.

[0195] In some embodiments, Figure 4 The anode layout structure corresponding to the driving architecture shown can be as follows Fig.36 As shown, Figure 4 The layout structure of other film layers corresponding to the driving architecture shown can be as follows Figures 6 to 17 The structure shown, or Figures 20 to 28 The structure shown, or Figure 31 to Figure 35 As shown, no further description is given here.

[0196] like Figure 5As shown, the number of columns of pixel circuits in the display panel is equal to the number of columns of light-emitting elements. In some embodiments, Figure 5 The driver architecture shown can be Figures 37 to 40 The design shown is implemented.

[0197] For details, please refer to Figures 37 to 40 , two adjacent first unit columns 10a constitute a first unit column group, and the display panel includes a plurality of first unit column groups. For example, the (i)th first unit column 10a and the (i+1)th first unit column 10a constitute a first unit column group 10_1, and the (i+2)th first unit column 10a and the (i+3)th first unit column 10a constitute another first unit column group 10_2.

[0198] Each first circuit column 20 a is electrically connected to a plurality of first light emitting elements 11 in the first unit cell column group, and each second circuit column 20 b is electrically connected to a plurality of second light emitting elements 12 in the first unit cell column group.

[0199] That is, one first unit column group is provided with one first circuit column 20a and one second circuit column 20b, each first circuit column 20a is used to connect the first light emitting elements 11 located in two unit columns, and each second circuit column 20b is used to connect the second light emitting elements 12 located in two unit columns, so that the number of columns of pixel circuits in the display panel is equal to the number of columns of light emitting elements. In this design, there is no need to set up an extra column of pixel circuits, and no need to set up virtual pixel circuits, which is conducive to achieving a narrow frame.

[0200] When the number of pixel circuit columns is equal to the number of light-emitting element columns, each first circuit column needs to be electrically connected to the first light-emitting elements located in two unit columns. In this way, for at least some of the first light-emitting elements, it is necessary to set a connecting line to connect the first light-emitting element and the first pixel circuit. The longer the connecting line, the greater the voltage drop, which will affect the driving ability of the first pixel circuit to the first light-emitting element. Similarly, the second light-emitting element and the second pixel circuit electrically connected thereto also have the same situation. Therefore, for Figure 5 The design shown is more important in terms of how to balance the driving capability of the pixel circuit while achieving reduced power consumption.

[0201] In this regard, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Fig.37 , Fig.38, the first light-emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21 through the first via 41. The first end of the first via 41 extends to the film layer where the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 is located, and the second end of the first via 41 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21. The second light-emitting element 12 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22 through the second via 42, and the plurality of second vias 42 corresponding to the same second circuit column 20b constitute a second via column 42a. The first end of the second via 42 extends to the film layer where the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 is located, and the second end of the second via 42 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22.

[0202] In the first unit column group, in the second direction Y, the first via 41 of one first unit column 10a is on a first side of the first unit column 10a, and the second via 42 is on a second side of the first unit column, and the first via 41 and the second via 42 of another first unit column 10a are distributed on the same side of the first unit column.

[0203] For example, the (i)th first unit column 10a and the (i+1)th first unit column 10a constitute a first unit column group 10_1, wherein, in the (i)th first unit column 10a, the first via 41 is on the left and the second via 42 is on the right; in the (i+1)th first unit column 10a, the first via 41 and the second via 42 are both on the left.

[0204] The (i+2)th first unit column 10a and the (i+3)th first unit column 10a constitute another first unit column group 10_2, wherein, in the (i+2)th first unit column 10a, the first via 41 is on the left and the second via 42 is on the right; in the (i+3)th first unit column 10a, the first via 41 and the second via 42 are both on the left.

[0205] It is understandable that in this embodiment, the first vias of the first light-emitting elements connected to the same first circuit column and located in the two first unit columns are all arranged in a direction close to the first circuit column, so that the length of the connection line between the first light-emitting element and the first pixel circuit can be shortened, thereby avoiding a large voltage drop caused by an excessively long connection line, thereby achieving the goal of reducing power consumption while taking into account the driving capability of the first pixel circuit. The second light-emitting element is similar, and will not be described in detail here.

[0206] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.37 , Fig.38 and Fig.39 The first light emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit via a first connecting line 51 , and the first connecting line 51 and the data line of the display panel are located in different film layers.

[0207] For example, for the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a, a first connecting wire 51 needs to be provided in the metal layer below the anode, and the first connecting wire 51 is used to connect the first light-emitting element 11 and the first pixel circuit. Specifically, a first end of the first connecting wire 51 is connected to the first via 41, and the other end is connected to the first pixel circuit, and the other end of the first via 41 is connected to the anode of the first light-emitting element 11.

[0208] In some embodiments, the first connecting line 51 at least partially overlaps the second light emitting element 12 in the thickness direction of the display panel. This design can avoid winding of the first connecting line and reduce the length of the first connecting line, thereby reducing voltage drop.

[0209] For example, Figures 37 to 40 The corresponding film structure can be Fig.18 As shown, Figures 37 to 40 In the embodiment, the data lines include a first data line 31, a second data line 32, and a third data line 33. The first data line 31, the second data line 32, and the third data line 33 are located as shown in FIG. Fig.18 As shown, the first connection line 51 is disposed in the second metal layer SD2 and the third metal layer SD3, so that the first connection line 51 and the data line are located in different film layers.

[0210] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Fig.37 and Fig.18 In the thickness direction of the display panel, at least some of the second light emitting elements 12 and the second pixel circuit 22 electrically connected thereto overlap at least partially, and the display panel includes at least two semiconductor layers, namely, a first semiconductor layer B1 and a second semiconductor layer B2. Here, "overlap" means that at least some of the second light emitting elements 12 overlap in the thickness direction of the display panel.

[0211] For example, the second light emitting element 12 in the (i+1)th first unit column 10a at least partially overlaps with the second pixel circuit in the first second circuit column 20b1. The first second circuit column 20b1 is also used to drive the second light emitting element 12 in the (i)th first unit column 10a. For the (i)th first unit column 10a, the second via 42 is located on a side close to the first second circuit column 20b1, so that each second light emitting element does not need to be provided with an excessively long connection line to connect to the second pixel circuit.

[0212] If a connecting wire is provided in the metal layer below the anode, which is called a "pull wire" of the light-emitting element, in this embodiment, only the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a needs to be designed with a "pull wire", and the second light-emitting element 12 and the third light-emitting element 13 do not need to be designed with a "pull wire". From this perspective, the embodiment of the present application is equivalent to reducing the length of the connecting wire required for the second light-emitting element 12 and the third light-emitting element 13, and the anode of part of the second light-emitting element 12 or the third light-emitting element 13 is directly connected to the pixel circuit through a via hole instead of a connecting wire.

[0213] In addition, as described above, it is necessary to perform a "wire pulling" design on the first light emitting elements 11 in the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a. Here, "wire pulling" refers to Fig.37 , Fig.39 The first connecting line 51 shown. If a "pull line" is not designed for the first light-emitting elements 11 in the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a, the voltage drops (or loading) corresponding to different first light-emitting elements 11 are different, affecting the display uniformity. In view of this, a compensation line 54 can be set for the first light-emitting elements 11 in the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a, and the compensation line 54 is connected to the first via hole of the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a. Exemplarily, the other end of the compensation line 54 is suspended. The compensation line 54 is set on the same layer as the first connecting line 51 located on the metal layer.

[0214] Exemplarily, the first connection lines 51 and the compensation lines 54 corresponding to the first light-emitting elements connected to the same first circuit column are arranged alternately in the first direction.

[0215] It should be noted that the above Fig.18 The structure shown in FIG. 1 is introduced and will not be described here. Figures 37 to 40 In the corresponding design method, the structures of other film layers can be respectively as follows Figures 11 to 17 shown.

[0216] In other embodiments, Figure 5 The driver architecture shown can be Figure 41 to Figure 45 The design shown is implemented.

[0217] Please refer to Figure 5 as well as Figure 41 to Figure 45The first light-emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21 through the first connecting line 51, and the second light-emitting element 12 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22 through the second connecting line 52. At least part of the line segments of the first connecting line 51 and at least part of the line segments of the second connecting line 52 are located in different film layers from the data lines of the display panel. The display panel includes a semiconductor layer.

[0218] For example, Figure 41 to Figure 45 The corresponding film structure can be Fig.29 As shown, Figure 41 to Figure 45 In the embodiment, the data lines include a first data line 31, a second data line 32, and a third data line 33. The first data line 31, the second data line 32, and the third data line 33 are located as shown in FIG. Fig.29 The second metal layer SD2 and the third metal layer SD3 shown are provided with at least a portion of the line segments of the first connecting line 51 and at least a portion of the line segments of the second connecting line 52, so that at least a portion of the line segments of the first connecting line 51, at least a portion of the line segments of the second connecting line 52 and the data line are located in different film layers, thereby avoiding crosstalk between the connecting lines and the data lines.

[0219] For LTPS display panels, a non-mirror design is adopted. Even if the vias of the light-emitting elements are located on the side of the light-emitting elements facing the pixel circuit to which they are connected, so that the light-emitting elements are as close as possible to the pixel circuit to which they are required to be connected, in the non-mirror design, there will still be some light-emitting elements that are relatively far away from the pixel circuit to which they are required to be connected. If the connecting wires are still arranged on the anode film layer, the connecting wires need to bypass the anodes of the light-emitting elements of other colors, which will make the length of the connecting wires longer, and the voltage drop of the connecting wires will be increased, resulting in a weakening of the driving ability of the first pixel circuit to the first light-emitting element. The second light-emitting element is the same, and will not be repeated here.

[0220] To address this, at least a portion of the first connecting wires and at least a portion of the second connecting wires may be designed in a flying wire (flying wires include wires arranged in at least two film layers) manner.

[0221] Specifically, please refer to Fig.43 and Fig.44 For the (i+1)th first unit column 10a and the (i+3)th first unit column 10a, the first connecting line 51 includes a first section 511 and a second section 512, the first section 511 is connected between the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 and the first end of the first via 41, the second section 512 is connected between the second end of the first via 41 and the first pixel circuit, the first section 511 and the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 are located in the same film layer, and the second section 512 is located in the metal layer on the side of the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 facing the substrate.

[0222] For the (i)th first unit column 10a and the (i+2)th first unit column 10a, the second connecting line 52 includes a third section 523 and a fourth section 524, the third section 523 is connected between the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 and the first end of the second via 42, the fourth section 524 is connected between the second end of the second via 42 and the second pixel circuit, the third section 523 and the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 are located in the same film layer, and the fourth section 524 is located in the metal layer on the side of the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 facing the substrate.

[0223] In the embodiment of the present application, since the second section 512 and the fourth section 524 are located in the metal layer below the anode, the length of the connecting wire in the anode film layer can be reduced, and the connecting wire in the metal layer is less constrained by the anode, and the routing form of the connecting wire can be set in a nearby connection manner, and the second section 512 and the fourth section 524 do not need to meander too much due to the constraint of the anode, so the total length of the first connecting wire can be reduced as a whole, and the total length of the second connecting wire can be reduced. In addition, the problem of possible short circuit caused by directly pulling the wire at the anode can be avoided.

[0224] For example, please refer to Fig.43 and Fig.44 For the (i+1)th first unit column 10a and the (i+3)th first unit column 10a, a connection line for connecting the second light emitting element 12 and the second pixel circuit may be provided only in the anode film layer. For the (i)th first unit column 10a and the (i+2)th first unit column 10a, a connection line for connecting the first light emitting element 11 and the first pixel circuit may be provided only in the anode film layer.

[0225] In other embodiments, Figure 5 The driver architecture shown can also be Figure 46 to Figure 49 The design shown is implemented. Exemplary, Figure 46 to Figure 49 The cross-sectional structure of the display panel corresponding to the structure shown in FIG. Fig.18 As shown, Fig.48 The structure in the layout shown is located in Fig.18 The second metal layer SD2 shown, Fig.49 The structure in the layout shown is located in Fig.18 The third metal layer SD3 is shown.

[0226] Figure 46 to Figure 49 The structure shown is Figures 37 to 40 The similarities of the structures shown are not described in detail, and the differences include: the routing of the second metal layer and the third metal layer are interchanged. For example, Figures 37 to 40 In the structure shown, the wiring extending in the first direction X is arranged in the second metal layer SD2, and the wiring extending in the second direction Y is arranged in the third metal layer SD3. Figure 46 to Figure 49In the structure shown, the wiring extending in the first direction X is arranged in the third metal layer SD3, and the wiring extending in the second direction Y is arranged in the second metal layer SD2.

[0227] For example, Fig.48 The third metal layer SD3 is a layout structure of the third metal layer SD3 . The third metal layer SD3 includes data lines 31 - 33 extending along the first direction, power branch lines 611 , 623 , 635 , and routing lines 91 , 92 . Fig.49 The second metal layer SD2 is a layout structure of the second metal layer SD2. The second metal layer SD2 includes power branch lines 612 and 624 extending along the second direction, a wiring 72, etc.

[0228] in addition, Figure 46 to Figure 49 In the example, the first light emitting elements 11 in the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a need to be designed with "wire pulling". Here, "wire pulling" refers to Fig.46 , Fig.49 The second segment 512 shown. If a "pull wire" is not designed for the first light-emitting elements 11 in the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a, the voltage drops (or loading) corresponding to different first light-emitting elements 11 are different, affecting the display uniformity. In view of this, a compensation line 54 can be set for the first light-emitting elements 11 in the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a, and the compensation line 54 is connected to the first via hole of the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a. Exemplarily, the other end of the compensation line 54 is suspended. The compensation line 54 is set on the same layer as the second segment 512 located on the metal layer.

[0229] In other embodiments, Figure 5 The driver architecture shown can also be Figure 50 to Figure 53 The design shown is implemented. Exemplary, Figure 50 to Figure 53 The cross-sectional structure of the display panel corresponding to the structure shown in FIG. Fig.18 As shown, Fig.52 The structure in the layout shown is located in Fig.18 The second metal layer SD2 shown, Fig.53 The structure in the layout shown is located in Fig.18 The third metal layer SD3 is shown.

[0230] Figure 50 to Figure 53 The structure shown is Figures 37 to 40 The similarities of the structures shown are not described in detail, and the differences include: the routing of the second metal layer and the third metal layer are interchanged. For example, Figures 37 to 40 In the structure shown, the wiring extending in the first direction X is arranged in the second metal layer SD2, and the wiring extending in the second direction Y is arranged in the third metal layer SD3. Figure 50 to Figure 53In the structure shown, the wiring extending in the first direction X is arranged in the third metal layer SD3, and the wiring extending in the second direction Y is arranged in the second metal layer SD2.

[0231] For example, Fig.52 The third metal layer SD3 is a layout structure of the third metal layer SD3 . The third metal layer SD3 includes data lines 31 - 33 extending along the first direction, power branch lines 611 , 623 , 635 , and routing lines 91 , 92 . Fig.53 The second metal layer SD2 is a layout structure of the second metal layer SD2. The second metal layer SD2 includes power branch lines 612 and 624 extending along the second direction, a wiring 72, etc.

[0232] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 as well as Figure 50 to Figure 53 The first light emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21 through the first via hole 41, and the second light emitting element 12 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22 through the second via hole 42. In addition, the third light emitting element 13 is electrically connected to the third pixel circuit 23 through the third via hole 43.

[0233] In the second direction Y, the first via hole 41 of any one of the first unit columns 10 a is located at a first side of the first unit column 10 a , and the second via hole 42 is located at a second side of the first unit column 10 a .

[0234] For example, for the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a, the first vias 41 are on the left and the second vias 42 are on the right. For the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a, the first vias 41 are on the right and the second vias 42 are on the left.

[0235] Exemplarily, in the first direction X, the third via holes 43 are all on the same side of the third light emitting elements 13 to which they are connected.

[0236] Please refer to Fig.51 In this embodiment, it is possible to avoid the vias corresponding to the first unit column 10a being distributed on the same side, resulting in the vias being too dense; if the vias are too dense, they will need to occupy more layout space, which is not conducive to improving pixel density; therefore, the embodiment of the present application is conducive to improving pixel density and can improve signal interference between different vias.

[0237] As can be seen from the attached figure, Figure 50 to Figure 53 The structure shown and Figure 46 to Figure 49 In the structure shown, the distribution rules of the second via holes and the third via holes are the same, and the differences include: the distribution rules of the first via holes 41 of the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a are different. Figure 46 to Figure 49In the structure shown, the first via holes 41 of the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a are both located on the left side of the first light emitting elements connected thereto. Figure 50 to Figure 53 In the structure shown, the first via holes 41 of the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a are both located on the right side of the first light emitting elements connected thereto.

[0238] When the first pixel circuit to be connected to the first light-emitting element of the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit column 10a is on its left side and the first via 41 of the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit column 10a is moved to the right side of the first light-emitting element to which it is connected, the distance between the first via 41 and the first pixel circuit electrically connected thereto will increase. In this case, the length of the connecting line between the two can be lengthened.

[0239] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.51 and Fig.53 , the first light emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit via the first connecting line 51, the length of the first connecting line 51 connected between the first via 41 and the first pixel circuit in the second direction Y is L1, the width of the pixel circuit of the display panel in the second direction Y is L2, 3*L2≤L1≤4*L2. The widths of the first pixel circuit, the second pixel circuit, and the third pixel circuit in the second direction are the same, and the widths of the first circuit column, the second circuit column, and the third circuit column in the second direction Y are all approximately L2.

[0240] In this embodiment, the first connecting line 51 may also include a first section 511 and a second section 512, the first section 511 is connected between the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 and the first end of the first via 41, the second section 512 is connected between the second end of the first via 41 and the first pixel circuit, the first section 511 and the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 are located in the same film layer, and the second section 512 is located in the metal layer on the side of the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 facing the substrate. In this embodiment, the second section 512 is located in the second metal layer.

[0241] The length of the second segment 512 in the second direction Y is L1. Fig.52 As shown, in the second direction Y, the second segment 512 needs to span approximately 3 to 4 circuit rows.

[0242] In other embodiments, Figure 5 The driver architecture shown can also be Figure 54 to Figure 57 The design shown is implemented. Exemplary, Figure 54 to Figure 57 The cross-sectional structure of the display panel corresponding to the structure shown in FIG. Fig.18 As shown, Fig.56 The structure in the layout shown is located in Fig.18 The second metal layer SD2 shown, Fig.57The structure in the layout shown is located in Fig.18 The third metal layer SD3 is shown.

[0243] Figure 54 to Figure 57 The structure shown is Figures 37 to 40 The similarities of the structures shown are not described in detail, and the differences include: the routing of the second metal layer and the third metal layer are interchanged. For example, Figures 37 to 40 In the structure shown, the wiring extending in the first direction X is arranged in the second metal layer SD2, and the wiring extending in the second direction Y is arranged in the third metal layer SD3. Figure 54 to Figure 57 In the structure shown, the wiring extending in the first direction X is arranged in the third metal layer SD3, and the wiring extending in the second direction Y is arranged in the second metal layer SD2.

[0244] For example, Fig.56 The third metal layer SD3 is a layout structure of the third metal layer SD3 . The third metal layer SD3 includes data lines 31 - 33 extending along the first direction, power branch lines 611 , 623 , 635 , and routing lines 91 , 92 . Fig.57 The second metal layer SD2 is a layout structure of the second metal layer SD2. The second metal layer SD2 includes power branch lines 612 and 624 extending along the second direction, a wiring 72, etc.

[0245] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 as well as Figure 54 to Figure 57 The first light emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21 through the first via hole 41, and the second light emitting element 12 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22 through the second via hole 42. In addition, the third light emitting element 13 is electrically connected to the third pixel circuit 23 through the third via hole 43.

[0246] In the second direction Y, the first via holes 41 and the second via holes 42 of any first unit column 10 a are distributed on the same side of the first unit column 10 a .

[0247] For example, for the (i)th, (i+1)th, (i+2)th, and (i+3)th first unit columns 10 a , the first via hole 41 and the second via hole 42 are both on the left side.

[0248] Exemplarily, in the first direction X, the third via holes 43 are all on the same side of the third light emitting elements 13 to which they are connected.

[0249] Please refer to Fig.55 In this embodiment, it is also possible to avoid the vias corresponding to the first unit column 10a being distributed on the same side, resulting in the vias being too dense; if the vias are too dense, they will need to occupy more layout space, which is not conducive to improving pixel density; therefore, the embodiment of the present application is conducive to improving pixel density and can improve signal interference between different vias.

[0250] As can be seen from the attached figure, Fig.54 Fig.57 Show structure and Figure 46 to Figure 49 In the structure shown, the distribution rules of the first and third vias are the same, and the differences include: the distribution rule of the second via 42 is different. Fig.49 In the structure shown, the second vias 42 of the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a are both on the right side of the second light-emitting elements connected thereto, and the second vias 42 of the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a are both on the left side of the second light-emitting elements connected thereto. Figure 50 to Figure 53 In the structure shown, the second via holes 42 of each first unit column 10a are all located on the left side of the first light emitting element connected thereto.

[0251] The second pixel circuit to be connected to the second light-emitting element of the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit column 10a is on the right side thereof. When the second via hole 42 of the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit column 10a is moved to the left side of the second light-emitting element to which it is connected, the distance between the second via hole 42 and the second pixel circuit to which it is electrically connected will increase. In this case, the length of the connecting line between the two can be lengthened. In addition, the first light-emitting element of the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit column 10a and the first pixel circuit to which it is connected also need to be connected by a connecting line.

[0252] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.55 and Fig.57 The first light emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit through the first connecting line 51, and the second light emitting element 12 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit through the second connecting line 52. The first connecting line 51 and the second connecting line 52 do not overlap.

[0253] In this embodiment, the first connecting line 51 may include a first section 511 and a second section 512, the first section 511 is connected between the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 and the first end of the first via 41, the second section 512 is connected between the second end of the first via 41 and the first pixel circuit, the first section 511 and the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 are located in the same film layer, and the second section 512 is located in the metal layer on the side of the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 facing the substrate.

[0254] The second connecting line 52 includes a third section 523 and a fourth section 524, the third section 523 is connected between the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 and the first end of the second via 42, the fourth section 524 is connected between the second end of the second via 42 and the second pixel circuit, the third section 523 and the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 are located in the same film layer, and the fourth section 524 is located in the metal layer on the side of the anode of the second light-emitting element 12 facing the substrate.

[0255] In this embodiment, the second segment 512 and the fourth segment 524 are located in the second metal layer.

[0256] The first section 511 and the third section 523 do not overlap, and the second section 512 and the fourth section 524 do not overlap.

[0257] In this embodiment, the lengths of the second segment 512 and the fourth segment 524 in the second direction Y are substantially equal. The lengths of the second segment 512 and the fourth segment 524 in the second direction Y are substantially equal to twice the width L2 of the pixel circuit.

[0258] In some embodiments, Fig.54 As shown, the third light emitting element 13 is electrically connected to the third pixel circuit through the third via hole 43, and any third via hole 43 is on the same side of the connected third light emitting element 13. That is, the distribution pattern of multiple third via holes in the entire display panel is the same.

[0259] For example, Figure 6 , Fig.31 , Fig.37 , Fig.46 , Fig.50 , Fig.54 As shown, in the first direction X, any third via hole 43 is located at the lower side of the third light emitting element 13 connected thereto.

[0260] For example, Fig. 20 , Fig.41 As shown, in the second direction Y, any third via hole 43 is located on the left side of the third light emitting element 13 connected thereto.

[0261] For example, Fig.59 As shown, in the first direction X, any third via hole 43 is located on the upper side of the third light emitting element 13 to which it is connected.

[0262] For example, Figure 6 , Fig.31 , Fig.37 , Fig.46 , Fig.50 , Fig.54 The display panels shown are all LTPO type display panels. Fig. 20 , Fig.41 The display panels shown are all LTPS type display panels. Fig.59 The display panel shown is a LTPS type display panel. Of course, this is not intended to limit the present application.

[0263] It should be noted that Figures 3 to 57In the drawings showing the light emitting elements, the first light emitting element 11 is a red light emitting element and the second light emitting element 12 is a blue light emitting element, which is not intended to limit the present application. In other examples, for example, the first light emitting element 11 is a blue light emitting element and the second light emitting element 12 is a red light emitting element.

[0264] In some embodiments, the Fig.58 The design shown is to realize that light emitting elements of different colors are included in the same column of units, and light emitting elements of the same color are connected through data lines.

[0265] like Fig.58 As shown, a first light emitting element 11, a second light emitting element 12 and a third light emitting element 13 adjacent to each other constitute an element unit 101, and a plurality of element units 101 are distributed in an array in the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0266] The first light-emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21 through the first via hole 41, the second light-emitting element 12 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22 through the second via hole 42, and the third light-emitting element 13 is electrically connected to the third pixel circuit 23 through the third via hole 43; in the first direction X, the first via hole 41, the second via hole 42, and the third via hole 43 of the element unit 101 are located on the same side of the element unit 101.

[0267] For example, Fig.58 In the embodiment, the first via hole 41 , the second via hole 42 , and the third via hole 43 are located on the upper side of the element unit 101 .

[0268] As an example, Fig.58 In the embodiment, the first light emitting element 11 is a red light emitting element, the second light emitting element 12 is a green light emitting element, and the third light emitting element 13 is a blue light emitting element. Fig.58 The red light emitting element and the green light emitting element in the device are interchangeable.

[0269] In some embodiments, Fig.58 As shown, the adjacent first unit column 10a and the second unit column 10b constitute a second unit column group, and each second unit column group is correspondingly provided with three columns of pixel circuits.

[0270] For example, the (i)th first unit column 10a and the (j)th second unit column 10b constitute the second unit column group 10_3, the 1st first circuit column 20a1, the 1st second circuit column 20b1 and the 1st third circuit column 20c1 are used to drive the (i)th first unit column 10a and the (j)th second unit column 10b, that is, the three columns of pixel circuits corresponding to the second unit column group 10_3 are distributed as follows: the 1st first circuit column 20a1, the 1st second circuit column 20b1 and the 1st third circuit column 20c1.

[0271] The (i+1)th first unit column 10a and the (j+1)th second unit column 10b constitute the second unit column group 10_4, the second first circuit column 20a2, the second second circuit column 20b2 and the second third circuit column 20c2 are used to drive the (i+1)th first unit column 10a and the (j+1)th second unit column 10b, that is, the three columns of pixel circuits corresponding to the second unit column group 10_4 are distributed as follows: the second first circuit column 20a2, the second second circuit column 20b2 and the second third circuit column 20c2.

[0272] In this embodiment, if the total number of the first unit column and the second unit column is 2n, the total number of pixel circuit columns is 3n. Thus, in the second direction Y, the total width of the first unit column and the second unit column is substantially equal to the total width of three pixel circuit columns, thereby increasing the light emitting area of ​​the light emitting element.

[0273] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 58 to Figure 61 The anode of the second light emitting element 12 is electrically connected to the second via hole 42 through a second connecting wire 52 , and the second connecting wire 52 is located between the first light emitting element 11 and the third light emitting element 13 in a direction parallel to the light emitting surface of the display panel.

[0274] Exemplarily, the second connecting wire 52 and the anode of the second light emitting element 12 are located in the same film layer.

[0275] For the first light emitting element 11 , there is almost no need to set a connecting wire between its anode and the first pixel circuit 21 , but they can be directly connected through the first via hole 41 .

[0276] For the third light emitting element 13 , the distance between its anode and the third via hole 43 is also relatively short, so the length of the connection line between the anode of the third light emitting element 13 and the third via hole 43 can be relatively short.

[0277] Compared with the first light emitting element and the third light emitting element, the distance between the anode of the second light emitting element 12 and the second via hole 42 is relatively far, so a relatively long second connecting line can be provided to connect the second light emitting element 12 and the second via hole 42 .

[0278] Figures 62 to 67 Shows the implementation Fig.58 The layout structures of some other membrane layers of the design shown in the figure are as follows: Figure 59 to Figure 69 As shown, the display panel includes a semiconductor layer. Fig.68 As shown, the display panel includes a first semiconductor layer B1. For example, the material of the first semiconductor layer B1 includes LTPS, such as Fig.30As shown, each transistor of the pixel circuit is an LTPS transistor. In this embodiment, the structures of the first pixel circuit, the second pixel circuit and the third pixel circuit can be as follows Fig.69 As shown, in Fig.69 In the structure shown, the pixel circuit includes 6 transistors and a capacitor, wherein the first electrode of the driving transistor M13 is connected to the power line PVDD.

[0279] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.65 and Fig.69 The pixel circuit of the display panel includes a driving transistor M13 and a power line PVDD electrically connected to the driving transistor M13, and there is no connection between active layers M13-p of adjacent driving transistors. Fig.65 In FIG. 1 , the active layer of the driving transistor in a pixel circuit is selected by a dotted frame.

[0280] It can be understood that this example lays a foundation for realizing that light-emitting elements of different luminous colors are powered by different power lines.

[0281] It should be noted that there is no connection between the active layers M13-p of adjacent driving transistors, which means that there is no overlapping "semiconductor part" between the active layers M13-p of adjacent driving transistors, and the "semiconductor part" refers to a structure in the same layer as the active layer of the driving transistor.

[0282] For example, Fig.65 As shown, in the first semiconductor layer, the active layer M13 - p of the driving transistor is disconnected from the active layers of other transistors, and the active layers M13 - p of different driving transistors are disconnected from each other.

[0283] It should also be noted that although this application is only Figures 58 to 69 In the corresponding example, it is pointed out that in the film layer where the active layer of the driving transistor is located, the active layer of the driving transistor is disconnected from the active layers of other transistors, and the active layers of different driving transistors are disconnected from each other. This is not intended to limit the present application. For example, in Figures 3 to 57 In any of the examples corresponding to the attached drawings, this can also be set. Figures 3 to 57 In any example corresponding to any of the figures, in the film layer where the active layer of the driving transistor is located, the active layer of the driving transistor may be continuously disconnected from the active layers of other transistors.

[0284] Please refer to Fig.62 and Fig.69In the same pixel circuit, the driving transistor M13 needs to be connected to other transistors. For example, the gate of the driving transistor M13 is connected to the first connection part N11, and the second electrode of the driving transistor M13 is connected to the third connection part N13. The first connection part N11 and the third connection part N13 are arranged on the metal layer. Figure 8 In addition, the other end of the capacitor Cst is connected to the second connection portion N12, and the second connection portion N12 is located at Figure 8 The first metal layer SD1 is shown.

[0285] in addition, Fig.61 The layout structure shown is located in Fig.68 The anode layer RE shown, Fig.62 The layout structure shown is located in Fig.68 The first metal layer SD1 shown, Fig.63 The layout structure shown is located in Fig.68 The capacitor metal layer MC shown, Fig.64 The layout structure shown is located in Fig.68 The first gate layer GAT shown, Fig.65 The layout structure shown is located in Fig.68 The first semiconductor layer B1 shown, Fig.67 The layout structure shown is located in Fig.68 Auxiliary metal layer M0 is shown.

[0286] In some embodiments, Figures 37 to 40 The example shown, or Figure 46 to Figure 49 The example shown, or Figure 50 to Figure 53 In the example shown, for some light-emitting elements, a "wire drawing" design is required on the metal layer to achieve connection between the light-emitting element and the pixel circuit.

[0287] Specifically, Fig.47 and Fig.48 For explanation, the light-emitting element is electrically connected to the pixel circuit through a via. For the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a, a "wire pulling" design is required. The connecting vias between these first light-emitting elements 11 and the first pixel circuit are called first sub-vias 411, and the first connecting line between the first light-emitting element 11 and the first pixel circuit includes a second segment 512. In the thickness direction of the display panel, the first sub-via 411 and the first pixel circuit electrically connected thereto do not overlap. One end of the first sub-via 411 extends to the film layer where the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 is located, and the other end of the first sub-via 411 extends to the metal layer where the second segment 512 is located, and the other end of the first sub-via 411 is connected to one end of the second segment 512, and the other end of the second segment 512 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit.

[0288] In some embodiments, the light-emitting element is electrically connected to the pixel circuit through a via, and the via includes a first sub-via, and the first sub-via has no overlap with the pixel circuit electrically connected thereto; the display panel also includes a connecting line, one end of the connecting line is connected to the first sub-via, and the other end is connected to the pixel circuit.

[0289] Still Fig.47 and Fig.48 For illustration, the display panel includes power branch lines extending along the second direction Y, for example, the second power branch line 612, the fourth power branch line 624, etc. "Wire drawing" can be performed on the film layer where the second power branch line 612 and the fourth power branch line 624 are located. In other words, at least part of the line segments of the connection line between the light-emitting element and the pixel circuit are set to the same layer as the power branch line extending in the second direction.

[0290] In this embodiment, although an additional "pull wire" design is required, the "pull wire" is arranged on the same layer as the power distribution line, so there is no need to add an additional film layer, which is beneficial to taking into account the lightness and thinness of the display panel.

[0291] In some embodiments, the via hole includes a second sub-via hole, and the second sub-via hole at least partially overlaps with the pixel circuit electrically connected thereto; the display panel further includes a compensation line, and one end of the compensation line is connected to the second sub-via hole.

[0292] Still Fig.47 and Fig.48 For explanation, for the first light-emitting element 11 in the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a, there is no need to perform a "wire" design. The "wire" here refers to a connection line used to connect the light-emitting element and the pixel circuit. The connection vias between these first light-emitting elements 11 and the first pixel circuit are called second sub-vias 412. One end of the second sub-via 412 extends to the film layer where the anode of the first light-emitting element 11 is located, and the other end of the second sub-via 412 extends to the film layer where the first pixel circuit is located. The other end of the second sub-via 412 is connected to the first pixel circuit.

[0293] In the thickness direction of the display panel, the second sub-via 412 at least partially overlaps the first pixel circuit electrically connected thereto. In the metal layer where the second segment 512 is located, the other end of the first sub-via 411 is connected to one end of the second segment 512, and the other end of the second segment 512 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit.

[0294] For the first light-emitting elements 11 in the (i+1)th and (i+3)th first unit columns 10a, a "wire pulling" design is required, while for the first light-emitting elements 11 in the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a, a "wire pulling" design is not required. The "wire pulling" here refers to the connecting wires used to connect the light-emitting elements and the pixel circuits. In this way, the lengths of the connecting wires for different first light-emitting elements 11 are different, resulting in different voltage drops (or loadings) corresponding to different first light-emitting elements 11, affecting display uniformity.

[0295] In view of this, a compensation line 54 may be further provided for the first light emitting elements 11 in the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10 a , and one end of the compensation line 54 is connected to the second sub-via 412 .

[0296] For example, the overall impedance of the compensation line 54 and the overall impedance of the second segment 512 may be substantially equal.

[0297] In some embodiments, the compensation line and the connection line of the metal layer are in the same film layer.

[0298] Still Fig.47 and Fig.48 For example, for the first light emitting element 11 in the (i)th and (i+2)th first unit columns 10a, the compensation line 54 and the second segment 512 are located in the same film layer. In this embodiment, although an additional "compensation line" design is required, the "compensation line" and the connecting line of the metal layer or the anode of the light emitting element are designed in the same film layer, so that there is no need to add an additional film layer, which is conducive to taking into account the lightness and thinness of the display panel.

[0299] In some embodiments, the other end of the compensation line is suspended, so as to avoid other signal crosstalk or interference with the light-emitting element connected to the compensation line.

[0300] For example, Fig.48 In the embodiment, one end of the compensation line 54 is connected to the second sub-via 412, and the other end is suspended. "Suspended" means that the other end of the compensation line is not connected to other structures.

[0301] In order to provide the current source required for the light-emitting element to emit light, a power line PVDD and a common voltage line PVEE need to be set. The pixel circuit and the light-emitting element are connected in series between the power line PVDD and the common voltage line PVEE. When the pixel circuit electrically connects the light-emitting element and the power line PVDD, the light-emitting element can emit light.

[0302] The light-emitting element and the pixel circuit electrically connected thereto constitute a sub-pixel. For example, the first light-emitting element and the first pixel circuit constitute a first sub-pixel, the second light-emitting element and the second pixel circuit constitute a second sub-pixel, and the third light-emitting element and the third pixel circuit constitute a third sub-pixel. The sub-pixel is connected between the power line PVDD and the common voltage line PVEE.

[0303] In the related art, sub-pixels of different colors share a power line PVDD and a common voltage line PVEE. However, the cross-voltage between the power line PVDD and the common voltage line PVEE required by sub-pixels of different colors will be different. In the design mode where the power line PVDD is shared, in order to enable all sub-pixels of each color to work in the saturation region, it is necessary to design the cross-voltage between the power line PVDD and the common voltage line PVEE to cover the maximum cross-voltage required by the sub-pixels of each color. For sub-pixels with a small cross-voltage requirement, there is unnecessary power consumption loss.

[0304] In the embodiment of the present application, while the data lines of the light emitting elements of each color are independent, the power lines PVDD of the light emitting elements of each color are also designed to be independent to further save power consumption.

[0305] Figures 6 to 69 In the examples shown, the power lines PVDD of the light emitting elements of at least two colors are designed independently. The independent design of the power line PVDD is exemplarily introduced below using some drawings.

[0306] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 The display panel further includes a power line PVDD, which includes at least a first power line 61 and a second power line 62. The first power line 61 is electrically connected to the first light-emitting element 11, and includes a first power branch line 611 and a second power branch line 612 electrically connected to each other. The first power branch line 611 extends along the first direction X, and the second power branch line 612 extends along the second direction Y. The second power line 62 is electrically connected to the second light-emitting element 12, and includes a third power branch line 623 and a fourth power branch line 624 electrically connected to each other. The third power branch line 623 extends along the first direction X, and the fourth power branch line 624 extends along the second direction Y.

[0307] For example, the first power branch line 611 and the second power branch line 612 may be located in different film layers and connected via vias. The third power branch line 623 and the fourth power branch line 624 may be located in different film layers and connected via vias.

[0308] It should be noted that the first power line 61 and the second power line 62 are not connected. In this way, when the voltages required by the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element are different, different power supply voltages can be provided by the first power line 61 and the second power line 62 respectively. In this way, there is no need to set a large voltage across the line to cover the voltages required by all light-emitting elements, thereby saving power consumption of the display panel.

[0309] In addition, the first power branch line 611 and the second power branch line 612 extend in different directions and are electrically connected to each other. Multiple first power branch lines 611 and multiple second power branch lines 612 can form a grid-like first power line 61, thereby reducing the voltage drop of the first power line 61 and improving display uniformity.

[0310] Similarly, the third power branch line 623 and the fourth power branch line 624 extend in different directions and are electrically connected to each other. Multiple third power branch lines 623 and multiple fourth power branch lines 624 can form a grid-like second power line 62, thereby reducing the voltage drop of the second power line 62 and improving display uniformity.

[0311] Exemplarily, only for the first power branch line 611 and the third power branch line 623, the first power branch line 611 and the third power branch line 623 are alternately distributed in the second direction Y. Only for the second power branch line 612 and the fourth power branch line 624, the second power branch line 612 and the fourth power branch line 624 are alternately distributed in the first direction X. In this way, the area covered by a single grid of the first power line 61 and a single grid of the second power line 62 can be substantially the same, thereby reducing the voltage drop difference between the first power line 61 and the second power line 62.

[0312] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , or, please refer to Fig.62 and Fig.63 The display panel also includes a power line PVDD, the power line PVDD also includes a third power line 63, the third power line 63 is electrically connected to the third light-emitting element 13, the third power line 63 includes a fifth power branch line 635 and a sixth power branch line 636 electrically connected to each other, the fifth power branch line 635 extends along the first direction X, and the sixth power branch line 636 extends along the second direction Y.

[0313] One of the second power branch line and the fourth power branch line is electrically connected to the sixth power branch line.

[0314] As an example, please refer to Figure 7 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10, the second power branch line 612 and the sixth power branch line 636 can be the same line, that is, the line serves as both the second power branch line 612 and the sixth power branch line 636. This example can reduce the number of power branches extending in the second direction, and can free up layout space. It can be understood that in this example, the first light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element share a power signal.

[0315] It should be noted that Figures 6 to 57 In the schematic diagram of the layout, although it is shown that the second power branch line 612 and the sixth power branch line 636 are the same line, this is not used in the present application. For example, in other examples, the fourth power branch line 624 and the sixth power branch line 636 are the same line, or the second power branch line 612 and the sixth power branch line 636 are two lines connected to each other, or the second fourth power branch line 624 and the sixth power branch line 636 are two lines connected to each other.

[0316] As another example, refer to Fig.62 and Fig.63 , the second power branch line 612, the fourth power branch line 624, and the sixth power branch line 636 are independent of each other. In other words, the second power branch line 612, the fourth power branch line 624, and the sixth power branch line 636 are not connected, and the power lines of the first light-emitting element, the second light-emitting element, and the third light-emitting element are independent of each other, which can more flexibly match the cross-voltage requirements of each light-emitting element.

[0317] It should be noted that Fig.63 The layout structure corresponding to 6 rows of pixel circuits is shown. Figure 58 to Figure 62 ,as well as Figure 64 to Figure 67 The layout structure of 2 rows of pixel circuits is shown.

[0318] Exemplarily, when the second power branch line 612, the fourth power branch line 624, and the sixth power branch line 636 are independent of each other, each second power branch line 612, a fourth power branch line 624, and a sixth power branch line 636 constitute a line group, and a plurality of such line groups are arranged in the first direction X.

[0319] It should be noted that Figures 6 to 57 In the layout diagram in , the second power branch line 612, the fourth power branch line 624, and the sixth power branch line 636 can also be designed in a manner that they are independent of each other.

[0320] In some embodiments, Figure 7 , Fig.21 , Fig.32 , Fig.37 , Fig.42 , Fig.46 , Fig.50 , Fig.54As shown, one of the first light-emitting element 11 and the second light-emitting element 12 is a red light-emitting element, the other is a blue light-emitting element, and the third light-emitting element 13 is a green light-emitting element; the first power branch line 611, the fifth power branch line 635, the third power branch line 623, and the fifth power branch line 635 constitute a first line group, and multiple first line groups are arranged in the second direction Y.

[0321] That is to say, in the second direction Y, the arrangement rule of the power branch lines is: a first power branch line 611, a fifth power branch line 635, a third power branch line 623, a fifth power branch line 635, then, a first power branch line 611, a fifth power branch line 635, a third power branch line 623, a fifth power branch line 635, and so on.

[0322] In the second direction Y, the arrangement order of the circuit rows is: a first circuit row 20a, a third circuit row 20c, a second circuit row 20b, a third circuit row 20c, then a first circuit row 20a, a third circuit row 20c, a second circuit row 20b, a third circuit row 20c, and so on.

[0323] In the second direction Y, the arrangement pattern of the power branch lines matches the arrangement order of the circuit columns, and each circuit column is correspondingly arranged with a power branch line extending along the first direction. In this way, while achieving the independence of the power lines PVDD of light-emitting elements of different colors, each circuit column can be connected to its corresponding power line nearby, so that there is no need to set up additional wiring for connection between the power lines and the pixel circuits.

[0324] In other embodiments, please refer to Fig.60 and Fig.62 One of the first light-emitting element 11 and the third light-emitting element 13 is a red light-emitting element, the other is a blue light-emitting element, and the second light-emitting element 12 is a green light-emitting element; the first power branch line 611, the third power branch line 623, and the fifth power branch line 635 constitute a second line group, and multiple second line groups are arranged in the second direction Y.

[0325] That is to say, in the second direction Y, the arrangement rule of the power branch lines is: a first power branch line 611, a third power branch line 623, a fifth power branch line 635, then, a first power branch line 611, a third power branch line 623, a fifth power branch line 635, and so on.

[0326] In the second direction Y, the circuit rows are arranged in the order of: a first circuit row 20a, a second circuit row 20b, a third circuit row 20c, then a first circuit row 20a, a second circuit row 20b, a third circuit row 20c, and so on.

[0327] Similarly, in this example, in the second direction Y, the arrangement pattern of the power branch lines matches the arrangement order of the circuit columns, and each circuit column is correspondingly arranged with a power branch line extending along the first direction. In this way, while achieving the independence of the power lines PVDD of light-emitting elements of different colors, each circuit column can be connected to its corresponding power line nearby, so that there is no need to set up additional wiring for connection between the power lines and the pixel circuits.

[0328] In some embodiments, the plurality of pixel circuits of the display panel are arranged in n1 rows; the total number of the second power branch line, the fourth power branch line and the sixth power branch line is n2; n1=n2. Both n1 and n2 are integers greater than 1.

[0329] For example, Figure 7 , Fig.21 , Fig.32 , Fig.37 , Fig.42 , Fig.46 , Fig.50 , Fig.54 As shown, for every two adjacent pixel circuit rows, one of the pixel circuit rows is correspondingly provided with the second power branch line 612 and the sixth power branch line 636 , and the other pixel circuit row is correspondingly provided with the fourth power branch line 624 .

[0330] In some other embodiments, the plurality of pixel circuits of the display panel are arranged in n1 rows; the total number of the second power branch line, the fourth power branch line and the sixth power branch line is n2; n1=2*n2. Both n1 and n2 are integers greater than 1.

[0331] For example, for every two adjacent pixel circuit rows, two second power branch lines, one fourth power branch line, and one sixth power branch line may be provided.

[0332] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig. 20 , Fig.24 and Fig.25 The first power line 61 further includes a seventh power branch line 617 , which extends along the first direction X. The seventh power branch line 617 is electrically connected to the first power branch line 611 and is located in a different film layer.

[0333] The second power line 62 further includes an eighth power branch line 628 . The eighth power branch line 628 extends along the first direction X. The eighth power branch line 628 is electrically connected to the third power branch line 623 and is located in a different film layer.

[0334] The third power line 63 further includes a ninth power branch line 639 . The ninth power branch line 639 extends along the first direction X. The ninth power branch line 639 is electrically connected to the fifth power branch line 635 and is located in a different film layer.

[0335] This example is equivalent to increasing the grid density of the first power line 61, the second power line 62, and the third power line 63, which can further reduce the voltage drop corresponding to each power line, thereby further improving display uniformity.

[0336] Exemplarily, the seventh power branch line 617, the eighth power branch line 628 and the ninth power branch line 639 are located in the first metal layer SD1. In this example, the first metal layer SD1 is also provided with reset lines extending along the first direction X. The reset lines include, for example, a first reset line Vref1 and a second reset line Vref2. For example, a power branch line is spaced between every two reset lines.

[0337] Exemplarily, in the thickness direction of the display panel, the seventh power branch line 617 at least partially overlaps with the first power branch line 611, and / or the eighth power branch line 628 at least partially overlaps with the third power branch line 623, and / or the ninth power branch line 639 at least partially overlaps with the fifth power branch line 635. In this way, electrical connection between corresponding power branches can be achieved through vias without setting up additional connecting lines, which can realize a dual longitudinal power branch line design without occupying additional layout area, that is, it will not affect the realization of high resolution.

[0338] For example, the first reset line Vref1 and / or the second reset line Vref2 may also be designed in a grid pattern. Fig.10 In the embodiment, at least part of the second wiring 92 can be reused as the first reset line Vref1. Fig.14 As shown, the capacitor metal layer includes a first reset line Vref1 extending along the second direction Y, Fig.10 and Fig.14 The first reset lines Vref1 in the circuit are electrically connected to each other, thereby realizing a grid design of the first reset lines Vref1.

[0339] For example, Fig.10 In the embodiment, at least part of the second wiring 92 can be reused as the second reset line Vref2. Fig.14 As shown, the capacitor metal layer includes a second reset line Vref2 extending along a second direction Y, Fig.10 and Fig.14 The second reset lines Vref2 in the circuit are electrically connected to each other, thereby realizing a grid design of the second reset lines Vref2.

[0340] In some embodiments, the first power branch line, the third power branch line and the fifth power branch line are located in the first film layer of the display panel; and the first film layer includes the data line of the display panel; the second power branch line, the fourth power branch line and the sixth power branch line are located in the second film layer of the display panel; the first film layer and the second film layer are both film layers on the side of the semiconductor layer of the display panel facing the light emitting surface.

[0341] That is to say, the first power branch line, the third power branch line, the fifth power branch line and the data line are located in the same first film layer, the second power branch line, the fourth power branch line and the sixth power branch line are located in the same second film layer, and the first film layer and the second film layer are different metal layers. The semiconductor layer is provided with an active layer of a transistor, and the active layer will undergo characteristic transfer under the influence of light. In the embodiment of the present application, the wiring in the first film layer and the second film layer can block light from irradiating the active layer in the semiconductor layer, thereby preventing the active layer from undergoing characteristic transfer under the influence of light, thereby improving the circuit reliability of the display panel.

[0342] The display panel may include one or more semiconductor layers, and the first film layer and the second film layer are located on a side of any semiconductor layer facing a light emitting surface.

[0343] As an example, Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, in addition, Fig.23 , Fig.24 In the example shown, Fig.39 , Fig.40 In the example shown, Fig.44 , Fig.43 In the example shown, the signal lines are located in the following film layers: the first power branch line 611, the third power branch line 623, the fifth power branch line 635, and the first data line 31, the second data line 32, and the third data line 33 are located in the second metal layer SD2. The second power branch line 612, the fourth power branch line 624, and the sixth power branch line 636 are located in the third metal layer SD3.

[0344] As another example, Fig.34 , Fig.35 As shown, in addition, Fig.48 , Fig.49 In the example shown, Fig.52 , Fig.53 In the example shown, Fig.56 , Fig.57 In the example shown, the signal lines are located in the following film layers: the first power branch line 611, the third power branch line 623, the fifth power branch line 635, and the first data line 31, the second data line 32, and the third data line 33 are located in the third metal layer SD3. The second power branch line 612, the fourth power branch line 624, and the sixth power branch line 636 are located in the second metal layer SD2.

[0345] As another example, see Fig.62 , Fig.63 and Fig.68, the second metal layer SD2 and the third metal layer SD3 are not included in this example, and the film layer where the signal line is located in this example is: the first power branch line 611, the third power branch line 623, the fifth power branch line 635 and the first data line 31, the second data line 32, and the third data line 33 are located in the first metal layer SD1. The second power branch line 612, the fourth power branch line 624, and the sixth power branch line 636 are located in the capacitor metal layer MC.

[0346] In some examples, such as Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, or Fig.67 and Fig.68 As shown, the display panel further comprises an auxiliary metal layer M0, which is located on a side of the semiconductor layer close to the substrate PI. The display panel may comprise one or more semiconductor layers, and the auxiliary metal layer M0 is located on a side of any semiconductor layer close to the substrate PI.

[0347] The auxiliary metal layer M0 includes a first auxiliary line 81, a second auxiliary line 82, and a third auxiliary line 83 that are disconnected from each other, the first auxiliary line 81 is electrically connected to the first power line 61, the second auxiliary line 82 is electrically connected to the second power line 62, and the third auxiliary line 83 is electrically connected to the third power line 63. This example is equivalent to increasing the grid density of the first power line 61, the second power line 62, and the third power line 63, which can further reduce the voltage drop corresponding to each power line, thereby further improving the display uniformity.

[0348] The wiring in the auxiliary metal layer M0 can also be used to block the light from the bottom surface from irradiating the active layer in the semiconductor layer, thereby preventing the active layer from being exposed to light and causing property transfer, thereby improving the circuit reliability of the display panel.

[0349] As an example, Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, the wiring pattern in the auxiliary metal layer M0 and the wiring pattern in the first semiconductor layer overlap in the thickness direction of the display panel.

[0350] As another example, Fig.65 and Fig.67 As shown, the wiring pattern in the auxiliary metal layer M0 at least overlaps with the active layer of the driving transistor.

[0351] In some embodiments, Fig.70 As shown, a patch cord 70 is provided in the display area AA of the display panel, one end of the patch cord 70 is connected to the data line 30, and the other end of the patch cord 70 is connected to the wiring in the wiring area NA1, and the wiring in the wiring area NA1 is connected to the driver chip. It can be understood that the patch cord 70 is used to transmit the data signal from the driver chip to the data line 30.

[0352] This design method can be called "FIAA" design, which can reduce the width of the routing area NA1 and achieve a narrow border.

[0353] Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present application, the "FIAA" design is combined with independent power lines of light-emitting elements of different colors and independent data lines of light-emitting elements of different colors, which can achieve both reduced power consumption and a narrow border.

[0354] Exemplarily, the patch cord 70 includes a first line segment 71 and a second line segment 72 electrically connected to each other. The first line segment 71 extends along a first direction X, and the second line segment 72 extends along a second direction Y.

[0355] like Fig.10 As shown, the first line segment 71 and the first power branch line 611 are located in the same film layer. Fig. 9 and Fig.11 As shown, the second line segment 72 and the second power branch line 612 are located in different film layers. Fig.11 and Fig.18 As shown, the second line segment 72 is located in the first metal layer SD1.

[0356] For example, Fig.10 As shown, the display area of ​​the display panel includes a plurality of first wirings 91 extending along the first direction X. For example, the area where the adapter line 70 is located is called the "FIAA area", and the area outside the adapter line 70 is called the "non-FIAA area". The first wiring 91 in the "FIAA area" is reused as the first line segment 71, and the first wiring 91 in the "non-FIAA area" can be reused as a common voltage line PVEE. Alternatively, the first wiring 91 in the "non-FIAA area" can be reused as a reset line Vref1, Vref2 or other signal lines. It is understandable that when the first wirings in the "FIAA area" and the "non-FIAA area" transmit different signals, the two are disconnected from each other.

[0357] For example, Fig.11 As shown, the display area of ​​the display panel includes a plurality of third wirings 93 extending along the second direction Y. Here, the area where the adapter line 70 is located is still referred to as the "FIAA area", and the area outside the adapter line 70 is referred to as the "non-FIAA area". The third wiring 93 in the "FIAA area" is multiplexed as the second line segment 72, and the third wiring 93 in the "non-FIAA area" can be multiplexed as a common voltage line PVEE. Alternatively, the third wiring 93 in the "non-FIAA area" can be multiplexed as a reset line Vref1, Vref2 or other signal lines. It is understandable that when the third wirings of the "FIAA area" and the "non-FIAA area" transmit different signals, the two are disconnected from each other.

[0358] For example, Fig.10As shown, the display area of ​​the display panel further includes a plurality of second wirings 92 extending along the first direction X, the first wiring 91 and the second wiring 92 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the first wiring 91 and the second wiring 92 are located between two data lines. For example, the first wiring 91 and the second wiring 92 are arranged between the first data line 31 and the third data line 33, and the first wiring 91 and the second wiring 92 are arranged between the second data line 32 and the third data line 33.

[0359] The above embodiment describes that the data lines of each color light emitting element are independent, and the power lines of each color light emitting element are independent. In other embodiments, the power lines of each color light emitting element are independent and can also be applied to: the data lines of at least two color light emitting elements are not independent.

[0360] For example, Fig.71 As shown, the first light-emitting element 11 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21, the second light-emitting element 12 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22, and the data line 31' is electrically connected to both the first pixel circuit 21 and the second pixel circuit 22 in the same column. In other words, the data line 31' is used to provide data signals required by the two-color light-emitting elements, and the first light-emitting element 11 and the second light-emitting element 12 share the data line. In addition, the third light-emitting element 13 is electrically connected to the third pixel circuit 23, and the data line 32' is electrically connected to multiple third pixel circuits 23 in the same column.

[0361] Fig.71 The approximate position of the pixel circuit is shown in a dotted frame, and the first pixel circuit 21 is indicated by a dotted frame filled with gray to distinguish the first pixel circuit 21 from the second pixel circuit 22.

[0362] The power line PVDD includes a first power line 61, a second power line 62, and a third power line 63. The first power line 61 is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21, and the first power line 61 includes a first power branch line 611 and a second power branch line 612 electrically connected to each other. One of the first power branch line 611 and the second power branch line 612 can be electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 21 through a via. The second power line 62 is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22, and the second power line 62 includes a third power branch line 623 and a fourth power branch line 624 electrically connected to each other. One of the third power branch line 623 and the fourth power branch line 624 can be electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 22 through a via. The third power line 63 is electrically connected to the third pixel circuit 23, and the third power line 63 includes a fifth power branch line 635 and a sixth power branch line 636 electrically connected to each other. One of the fifth power branch line 635 and the sixth power branch line 636 can be electrically connected to the third pixel circuit 23 through a via.

[0363] The features of each power branch line can be referred to the above embodiments, which will not be described again here.

[0364] It should be noted that Fig.71 It is used to illustrate the electrical connection relationship between the data line, the power line, and the pixel circuit, and is not used to limit the relative position relationship between the data line and the power line. Fig.71 A solid black dot is used to indicate that two power branch lines are electrically connected to each other. However, the solid black dot is not used to limit the connection position of the two power branch lines, as long as the connection between the two power branch lines can be achieved.

[0365] For example, Fig.71 As shown, the power branch line extending along the first direction X may include a branch, and in the thickness direction of the display panel, the branch at least partially overlaps with the third light-emitting element 13, so that the surface where the third light-emitting element 13 is located can be made flat as much as possible, thereby ensuring the light-emitting effect of the third light-emitting element 13.

[0366] For example, Fig.72 As shown, at least part of the power branch line extending along the second direction Y may also include a branch, the pixel circuit includes a driving transistor, and the gate of the driving transistor is connected to other transistors through a metal connection portion. In the thickness direction of the display panel, at least part of the branch line extending along the second direction Y overlaps with the metal connection portion, and the branch transmits a power supply voltage, which is generally a fixed voltage, so the branch can be used to shield the influence of other signals on the gate potential of the driving transistor.

[0367] It should be noted that, in the absence of contradiction, the above embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0368] The present application also provides a display device, including the display panel provided by the present application.
