[0042] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0044] Just as the display panel in the related art has the phenomenon of uneven display, the inventor has found through extensive research that the reason for this technical problem is that the display panel in the related art includes a display area and at least two wiring avoidance areas, and the wiring avoidance area is, for example, a hole area. The extension direction of some signal lines in the display panel (recorded as the first part of the signal lines) overlaps with the hole area and needs to bypass the hole area; while the extension direction of the remaining signal lines (recorded as the second part of the signal lines) does not overlap with the hole area, so there is no need to bypass the hole area; this makes the length of the first part of the signal line corresponding to the hole area longer than the length of the second part of the signal line corresponding to the hole area. In order to prevent the signal load of the first part of the signal line corresponding to the hole area from being larger than the signal load of the second part of the signal line corresponding to the hole area, the related art sets the first part of the signal line corresponding to all the hole areas to a solution with a smaller resistance. However, this setting will cause the signal load of the first part of the signal line to be less than the signal load of the second part of the signal line, and mura will appear on the display panel.
[0045] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention proposes the following solutions:
[0046] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The display panel includes a first display area AA and at least two routing avoidance areas H arranged along a first direction X; the first display area AA1 at least partially surrounds the routing avoidance area H; the display panel also includes a plurality of first signal lines L1(H), wherein the first signal line L1(H) includes a first routing segment L11 and at least two second routing segments L12; the first routing segment L11 extends along the first direction X, the at least two second routing segments L12 correspond to the at least two routing avoidance areas H one by one, and the second routing segments L12 extend around the edge of the routing avoidance area H, and the first signal line L11 extends along the first direction X, and the at least two second routing segments L12 correspond to the at least two routing avoidance areas H one by one, and the second routing segments L12 extend around the edge of the routing avoidance area H, and the first signal line L11 extends along the first direction X, and the first signal line L11 extends along the first direction X, and the at least two second routing segments L12 correspond to the at least two routing avoidance areas H one by one, and the second signal line L11 extends around the edge of the routing avoidance area H, and the first signal line L11 extends along the first direction X ... The adjacent first routing segment L11 is connected to the second routing segment L12; wherein, the at least two second routing segments L12 include at least one first-type second routing segment and at least one second-type second routing segment; the edge of at least one routing avoidance area H is wound with the first-type second routing segment, and the edge of at least one routing avoidance area H is wound with the second-type second routing segment; the resistance per unit length of the first-type second routing segment is less than the resistance per unit length of the first routing segment L11, and the resistance per unit length of the first-type second routing segment is less than the resistance per unit length of the second-type second routing segment.
[0047] Specifically, a plurality of light-emitting elements are arranged in the display area AA of the display panel, which may specifically include a plurality of first color light-emitting elements, a plurality of second color light-emitting elements and a plurality of third color light-emitting elements. The light-emitting color of the first color light-emitting element is the first color, the light-emitting color of the second color light-emitting element is the second color, and the light-emitting color of the third color light-emitting element is the third color. The first color, the second color and the third color are different from each other. Exemplarily, the first color may be red, the second color may be green, and the third color may be blue. The first display area AA of the display panel may also include a plurality of pixel driving circuits, each pixel driving circuit is electrically connected to at least one light-emitting element, and the pixel driving circuit is used to drive the corresponding light-emitting element to emit light. The display panel also includes a plurality of preset signal lines, which extend along the first direction X as a whole and are arranged along the second direction Y. Wherein, the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y. Exemplarily, the first direction X is the row direction and the second direction Y is the column direction. The preset signal line includes a first signal line L1 (H) and a second signal line L1 (N), and the first signal line L1 (H) and the second signal line L1 (N) are both used to provide a preset signal to a pixel driving circuit that is on the same straight line along the first direction X, so that the pixel driving circuit can normally drive the corresponding light-emitting element. In this embodiment, for the convenience of explanation, the preset signal line is divided into a first signal line L1 (H) and a second signal line L1 (N). It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the first signal line L1 (H) and the second signal line L1 (N) have the same function with respect to the pixel driving circuit, and the difference is that the extension direction of the first signal line L1 (H) overlaps with the wiring avoidance area H, while the extension direction of the second signal line L1 (N) does not overlap with the wiring avoidance area H.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, for the first signal line L1(H), it includes at least one first-type second routing segment L121 and at least one second-type second routing segment L122. Under unit length, the resistance of the first-type second routing segment L121 is less than the resistance of the first routing segment L11; that is, the first-type second routing segment L121 is used to reversely compensate for the resistance of the first signal line L1(H), so that the total resistance of the part between the winding starting point and the winding ending point of the first signal line L1(H) tends to be equal to the total resistance of the corresponding part of the second signal line L1(N). Among them, the corresponding part of the second signal line L1(N) is the part corresponding to the projection of the part between the winding starting point and the winding ending point of the first signal line L1(H) on the second signal line L1(N) along the second direction, which can be understood as follows Figure 2 , the portion of the last first signal line L1(H) and the second signal line L1(N) from top to bottom along the second direction Y is located within the dotted line segment. However, as mentioned above, since the display panel includes at least two routing avoidance areas H, along the first direction X, the total size of all routing avoidance areas H is relatively large, which makes the portion between the winding start point and the winding end point of the first signal line L1(H) longer. In the related art, this portion is treated with a relatively small resistance, so that the resistance of this portion is smaller than the resistance of the corresponding portion of the second signal line L1(N), so that the signal load of the first signal line L1(H) at both ends of this portion is smaller than the signal load of the corresponding portion of the second signal line L1(N), thereby generating mura.
[0049] In this embodiment, the resistance of the first type second routing segment L121 in the first signal line L1 (H) is set to be less than the resistance of the second type second routing segment L122 under unit length. In other words, the second type second routing segment L122 is used to positively compensate for the total resistance of the first signal line L1 between the winding start point and the winding end point, preventing the first type second routing segment L121 from overcompensating the resistance of this part. In other words, the setting of this embodiment makes the total resistance of the first signal line L1 between the winding start point and the winding end point closer to the total resistance of the second signal line L1 in the corresponding part, reducing the difference in signal load between different signal lines, thereby improving the mura phenomenon.
[0050] It should be noted that the unit length described in this article can be understood as the unit length along the extension direction of the corresponding signal line.
[0051] The technical solution of this embodiment adopts a display panel including a first display area and at least two routing avoidance areas arranged along a first direction; the first display area at least partially surrounds the routing avoidance area; the display panel also includes a plurality of first signal lines, the first signal line includes a first routing segment and at least two second routing segments; the first routing segment extends along the first direction, at least two second routing segments correspond to at least two routing avoidance areas one by one, and the second routing segments extend around the edges of the routing avoidance areas, and adjacent first routing segments are connected to second routing segments; wherein the at least two second routing segments include at least one first-type second routing segment and at least one second-type second routing segment; the resistance per unit length of the first-type second routing segment is less than the resistance per unit length of the first routing segment, and the resistance per unit length of the first-type second routing segment is less than the resistance per unit length of the second-type second routing segment. The first-type second routing segment can compensate for the total resistance of the winding portion of the first signal line, and the second-type second routing segment can prevent over-compensation of the total resistance of the winding portion of the first signal line. Therefore, the solution of this embodiment can reduce the signal load difference between different signal lines, thereby improving the mura phenomenon.
[0052] For example, the following takes the display panel including two wiring avoidance areas H as an example. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. The two routing avoidance areas H are respectively the first routing avoidance area H1 and the second routing avoidance area H2. The routing avoidance area H can be a hole-punching area for installing components; the edge of one of the hole-punching areas is surrounded by a first type of second routing segment, and the edge of the other hole-punching area is surrounded by a second type of second routing segment. For example, the first routing avoidance area H1 can be used to install a handset, etc., and the second routing avoidance area H2 can be used to install a camera or an infrared sensor, etc. Of course, in some other embodiments, the routing avoidance area H can also be a second display area for display.
[0053] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 , along the first direction X, the routing avoidance area corresponding to the first type second routing segment L121 ( Figure 2 is the maximum size of the first routing avoidance area H1), which is larger than the routing avoidance area corresponding to the second type second routing segment L122 ( Figure 2 , where is the maximum size of the second routing avoidance area H2); wherein the routing avoidance area H is arranged along the extension direction of the first routing segment.
[0054] Specifically, the first routing avoidance area H1 may be a runway hole, and the second routing avoidance area H2 may be a circular hole. The first routing avoidance area H1 has a larger size along the first direction X, and the length of the portion of the first signal line L1 (H) corresponding to the first routing avoidance area H1 is also longer. Routing with a smaller resistance per unit length can avoid the resistance of the portion of the first signal line L1 (H) between the winding start point and the winding end point being greater than the resistance of the corresponding portion of the second signal line L1 (N). The second routing avoidance area H2 has a smaller size along the first direction X, and the length of the portion of the first signal line L1 (H) corresponding to the second routing avoidance area H2 is also shorter. Routing with a resistance per unit length greater than the resistance of the first type of second routing segment can improve the phenomenon that the resistance of the portion of the first signal line L1 (H) between the winding start point and the winding end point is over-compensated and is less than the resistance of the corresponding portion of the second signal line L1 (N). On the contrary, if the resistance per unit length of the second routing segment of the first type is set to be smaller than the resistance per unit length of the second routing segment of the second type, the resistance cannot be compensated well, that is, the resistance of the first signal line between the starting point and the ending point of the winding will be greater than the resistance of the corresponding part of the second signal line.
[0055] Optionally, Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 Another cross-sectional view of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figures 1 to 4 .in, Figure 3 Used to illustrate the relationship between the various film layers in the display panel. Figure 4Used to illustrate the film layer position of the first signal line in the display panel. The display panel includes a substrate 11 and a driving circuit layer stacked in sequence, the driving circuit layer is provided with a plurality of pixel openings, and the light-emitting element 18 of the display panel is arranged in the pixel opening. The driving circuit layer includes an active layer 12, a first metal layer 13, a second metal layer 13, a third metal layer 14 and a pixel defining layer 17 stacked in sequence on the substrate 11. The substrate 11 can be a rigid substrate, such as a glass substrate, a silicon substrate, a diamond substrate or a sapphire substrate. The substrate 11 can also be a flexible substrate, such as a polyimide substrate. The active layer 12 is used to set the active structure of the transistor in the pixel driving circuit, the first metal layer 13 is used to set the gate of the transistor in the pixel driving circuit and the first plate of the capacitor, and the second metal layer 14 is used to set the source and drain of the transistor in the pixel driving circuit. A gate insulating layer GI is also arranged between the active layer 12 and the first metal layer 13, a first interlayer insulating layer CI1 is also arranged between the first metal layer 13 and the second metal layer 14, a second interlayer insulating layer CI2 is also arranged between the second metal layer 14 and the third metal layer 15, a passivation layer PVX and a planarization layer PLN are also arranged between the third metal layer 15 and the pixel defining layer 17, the light-emitting element 18 is electrically connected to the corresponding pixel driving circuit PX through the first electrode 16, and the display panel also includes a second electrode layer (not shown) and an encapsulation layer, the second electrode layer covers the pixel defining layer and the light-emitting element 18, and the encapsulation layer covers the second electrode layer.
[0056] Alternatively, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the resistance per unit length of the second type second wiring segment L122 is the same as the resistance per unit length of the first wiring segment L11. Figure 2 In the figure, the first type second routing segment L121 is represented by a red line, and its resistance per unit length is small; the second type second routing segment L122 and the first routing segment L11 are both represented by black lines, and the resistance per unit length of the two is the same. The configuration of this embodiment makes the resistance per unit length of the second type second routing segment L122 greater than the resistance per unit length of the first type second routing segment L121, thereby avoiding the over-compensation of the resistance of the first signal line L1 (H) by the first type second routing segment L121. In addition, by setting the resistance per unit length of the first type second routing segment L121 to be equal to the resistance per unit length of the first routing segment L11, the second type second routing segment L122 can be set using the metal layer where the first routing segment L11 is located, that is, the second type second routing segment L122 can be set on the same layer as the first routing segment L11, thereby reducing the design difficulty, reducing the line change holes caused by the different layer settings, and further reducing the manufacturing difficulty.
[0057] In this embodiment, the resistance per unit length of the second type second routing segment L122 and the resistance per unit length of the first type second routing segment L121 can be determined according to the size of the first routing avoidance area H1 along the first direction (set as a1) and the size of the second routing avoidance area H2 along the first direction (set as a2); for example, if a2 / a1>b, it indicates that the size of the second routing avoidance area also accounts for a large proportion, and the resistance per unit length of the second type second routing segment corresponding to the second routing avoidance area is less than or equal to the resistance per unit length of the first routing segment, which can improve the over-compensation situation. If a2 / a1≤b, it indicates that the size of the second routing avoidance area accounts for a small proportion, and the resistance per unit length of the second type second routing segment corresponding to the second routing avoidance area is less than or equal to the resistance per unit length of the first routing segment, which may not effectively improve the over-compensation situation.
[0058] Therefore, in some other embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 A partial enlarged view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The resistance per unit length of the second type second wiring segment L122 is greater than the resistance per unit length of the first wiring segment L11.
[0059] Specifically, in Figure 5 In the structure shown, the second type of second routing segment L122 is represented by a green line. The second type of second routing segment L122 has a larger resistance per unit length, and when the size of the second routing avoidance area H2 is small, it can effectively prevent the first type of second routing segment L121 from overcompensating the resistance of the first signal line L1 between the winding start point and the winding end point.
[0060] Optionally, in some embodiments, the line width of the second type second routing segment L122 can be set smaller than the line width of the first routing segment L11, so that the resistance per unit length of the second type second routing segment L122 is greater than the resistance per unit length of the first routing segment L11. In this embodiment, the second type second routing segment L122 and the first routing segment L11 can be set on the same layer.
[0061] Optionally, in some other embodiments, the thickness of the second type of second routing segment can be set to be smaller than the thickness of the first routing segment, thereby making the resistance per unit length of the second type of second routing segment L122 greater than the resistance per unit length of the first routing segment L11. In this embodiment, the second type of second routing segment and the first routing segment can be set in different layers. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6Another cross-sectional view of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the second type second routing segment L122 and the first type second routing segment L121 can be set in different layers. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the second type second routing segment L122 can be set in the first metal layer, the first routing segment L11 can be set in the second metal layer, and the first type second routing segment L121 can be set in the second metal layer.
[0062] Optionally, the first type second routing segment L121 includes at least two layers of conductive material; the conductive material is, for example, metal. Different conductive materials may be different metals. Exemplarily, the first type second routing segment L121 may include a stacked first metal stack, a second metal stack, and a third metal stack; the material of the first metal stack is, for example, titanium Ti, the material of the second metal stack is, for example, aluminum Al, and the material of the third metal stack is, for example, titanium Ti. The material of the second type second routing segment L122 is, for example, molybdenum Mo.
[0063] Optionally, in some other implementations, the second type second routing segment L122 and the first type second type L121 may also be arranged on the same layer.
[0064] Alternatively, if Figure 5 As shown, among the multiple second-type second routing segments L122 corresponding to the same routing avoidance area, the resistance per unit length of the second-type second routing segment L122 close to the routing avoidance area is smaller than the resistance per unit length of the second-type second routing segment L122 far from the routing avoidance area.
[0065] Specifically, among the multiple second-class second routing segments L122 corresponding to the same routing avoidance area, the closer the second-class second routing segment L122 is to the routing avoidance area, the longer the total length is, and the corresponding total resistance is also greater; and the farther the second-class second routing segment L122 is from the routing avoidance area, the shorter the total length is. If the resistance per unit length of each second-class second routing segment is the same, due to the difference in total length, the total resistance of different second-class second routing segments will be different, which will also make the partial resistance of different first signal lines L1 (H) between the starting point and the end point of the winding different different, which may cause mura. The arrangement of this embodiment makes the resistance per unit length of the second-class second routing segment with a smaller total length larger, which can make the total resistance of different second-class second routing segments L122 close, and then make the partial resistance of different first signal lines L1 (H) between the starting point and the end point of the winding closer, so as to improve the mura phenomenon.
[0066] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 5Among the multiple first-type second routing segments L121 corresponding to the same routing avoidance area, the resistance per unit length of the first-type second routing segment L121 close to the routing avoidance area is smaller than the resistance per unit length of the first-type second routing segment L121 far from the routing avoidance area.
[0067] Specifically, among the multiple first-class second routing segments L121 corresponding to the same routing avoidance area, the closer the first-class second routing segment L121 is to the routing avoidance area, the longer the total length is, and the corresponding total resistance is also greater; and the farther the first-class second routing segment L121 is from the routing avoidance area, the shorter the total length is. If the resistance per unit length of each first-class second routing segment L121 is the same, due to the difference in total length, the total resistance of different first-class second routing segments L121 will be different, which will also make the partial resistance of different first signal lines L1 (H) between the starting point and the end point of the winding different different, which may cause mura. The configuration of this embodiment makes the resistance per unit length of the first-class second routing segment L121 with a smaller total length larger, which can make the total resistance of different first-class second routing segments L121 close, and then make the partial resistance of different first signal lines L1 (H) between the starting point and the end point of the winding closer, so that the mura phenomenon can be improved.
