By setting the width of the conductive terminal 120 to be greater than the width of the first trace 131, on the one hand, the contact area between the conductive terminal 120 and the connecting wire 180 is increased, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the conductive terminal 120 and the connecting wire 180, and on the other hand, the cross-sectional area of ​​the conductive terminal 120 is increased, thereby reducing the impedance of the conductive terminal 120.

On the one hand, the film layer between the conductive terminal 120 and the first metal layer 130 is retained, reducing the difficulty of preparing the sub-display panel 100. On the other hand, it can avoid that the resistance between the conductive terminal 120 and the second routing line 132 is too large, which leads to a reduction in the stability of signal transmission of the gate drive circuit 200.

[0059] In this embodiment, the sub-display panel 100 includes a thin film transistor, and the thin film transistor includes a gate, a source, and a drain, wherein the gate is located in the first metal layer, and the source and the drain are located in the second metal layer 140 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the thickness of the conductive terminal 120 is smaller than the thickness of the second metal layer 140 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the thickness of the conductive terminal 120 is smaller than the thickness of the third metal layer 150 .

[0065] In this embodiment, in the top view of the splicing panel, the width of the conductive terminal 120 is greater than the width of the third trace 133, wherein the width direction of the conductive terminal 120 is the same as the second direction M of the splicing panel. By setting the width of the conductive terminal 120 to be greater than the width of the third trace, on the one hand, the contact area between the conductive terminal 120 and the connecting wire 180 is increased, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the conductive terminal 120 and the connecting wire 180, and on the other hand, the cross-sectional area of ​​the conductive terminal 120 is increased, thereby reducing the impedance of the conductive terminal 120.

[0066] In this embodiment, the width of the conductive terminal 120 is 10 um to 15 um. Preferably, the width of the conductive terminal 120 is 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm or 15 μm.

[0067] In this embodiment, reference Figure 8 The sub-display panel 100 includes a first metal layer 130, a second metal layer 140, a third metal layer 150 and a fourth metal layer 160; the second metal layer 140 is located on a side of the first metal layer 130 away from the substrate 110; the third metal layer 150 is located on a side of the second metal layer 140 away from the substrate 110; the fourth metal layer 160 is located on a side of the third metal layer 150 away from the substrate 110. The gate drive circuit 200 includes a fourth routing line 134, the fourth routing line 134 is located in the first metal layer 130, the conductive terminal 120 is located in the fourth metal layer 160, and the conductive terminal 120 is electrically connected to the fourth routing line 134 through a fourth via 174, a fifth via 175 and a sixth via 176 that pass through the fourth metal layer 160 and the first metal layer 130. By setting the gate driving circuit 200 to include a fourth routing line 134, the fourth routing line 134 is located in the first metal layer 130, the conductive terminal 120 is located in the fourth metal layer 160, and the conductive terminal 120 is electrically connected to the fourth routing line 134 through a fourth via 174, a fifth via 175 and a sixth via 176 that penetrate between the fourth metal layer 160 and the first metal layer 130, so that the preparation of the sub-display panel 100 does not require removing the film layer between the conductive terminal 120 and the first metal layer 130, thereby reducing the complexity of the process of the sub-display panel 100.

[0068] In this embodiment, in the top view of the splicing panel, the width of the conductive terminal 120 is greater than the width of the fourth trace 134, wherein the width direction of the conductive terminal 120 is the same as the second direction M of the splicing panel. By setting the width of the conductive terminal 120 to be greater than the width of the fourth trace 134, on the one hand, the contact area between the conductive terminal 120 and the connecting wire 180 is increased, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the conductive terminal 120 and the connecting wire 180, and on the other hand, the cross-sectional area of ​​the conductive terminal 120 is increased, thereby reducing the impedance of the conductive terminal 120.

[0069] In this embodiment, the width of the conductive terminal 120 is 10 um to 15 um. Preferably, the width of the conductive terminal 120 is 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm or 15 μm.

[0070] In this embodiment, reference Figure 5-Figure 8The sub-display panel 100 also includes a first insulating layer 191, a second insulating layer 192, a first organic planar layer 193, a first passivation layer 194, a second organic planar layer 195 and a second passivation layer 196, the first insulating layer 191 covers the gate insulating layer, the second insulating layer 192 is located on a surface of the first insulating layer 191 away from the substrate 110, the first organic planar layer 193 covers the second metal layer 140, the first passivation layer 194 is located on a surface of the first organic planar layer 193 away from the substrate 110, the second organic planar layer 195 covers the third metal layer 150, and the second passivation layer 196 is located on a surface of the second organic planar layer 195 away from the substrate 110.

[0071] In this embodiment, reference Figure 5-Figure 8 , the conductive terminals 120 of two adjacent sub-display panels 100 are in the same layer. Since the conductive terminals 120 can be set in the first metal layer 130, the second metal layer 140 or the third metal layer 150, when the conductive terminals 120 of two adjacent sub-display panels 100 are in different layers, it is difficult for the connecting wire 180 to directly connect with the conductive terminals 120 of the adjacent sub-display panels 100, resulting in an increased difficulty in splicing the sub-display panels 100 of the spliced ​​panel. Therefore, by setting the conductive terminals 120 of two adjacent sub-display panels 100 in the same layer, there is no need to additionally set the structure of the connecting wire 180 to match the conductive terminals 120 of the two adjacent sub-display panels 100 in the thickness direction of the spliced ​​panel, thereby reducing the difficulty in splicing the sub-display panels 100 of the spliced ​​panel.

[0072] In this embodiment, reference Figure 3 , Fig.10 The splicing panel also includes a light-emitting device 300, a packaging glue layer 400 and a cover plate 500, the light-emitting device 300 is arranged on the substrate 110, the packaging glue layer 400 covers the light-emitting device 300, and the cover plate 500 is arranged on the surface of the substrate 110 away from the packaging glue layer 400, wherein the connecting wire 180 is arranged on the surface of the cover plate 500 close to the substrate 110, and in the top view of the splicing panel, the connecting wire at least partially overlaps with the two adjacent conductive terminals on the two adjacent sub-display panels. The splicing panel is provided to also include a packaging glue layer 400 and a cover plate 500, wherein the packaging glue layer 400 covers the light-emitting device 300, and the cover plate 500 is arranged on the surface of the substrate 110 away from the packaging glue layer 400, wherein the connecting line 180 is arranged on the surface of the cover plate 500 close to the substrate 110. In the top view of the splicing panel, the connecting line at least partially overlaps with two adjacent conductive terminals on the two adjacent sub-display panels, which can increase the stability of the connection of the sub-display panels 100 of the splicing panel, and ensure that the driving signal of the gate driving circuit 200 can be more stably transmitted to the multiple sub-display panels 100 in the first direction L.

[0073] In this embodiment, the thickness of the connection wire 180 is greater than the thickness of the encapsulation glue layer 400. By setting the thickness of the connection wire 180 to be greater than the thickness of the encapsulation glue layer 400, when manufacturing the spliced ​​panel, the connection wire 180 can contact the conductive terminal 120 before the cover plate 500, thereby ensuring that the connection wire 180 can be more stably electrically connected to the terminals of the two sub-display panels 100.

[0074] In this embodiment, reference Figure 4 , Fig.10 , the cover plate 500 extends with a boss 510 toward the conductive terminal 120, wherein the connecting wire 180 is arranged on the surface of the boss 510 on the side close to the substrate 110, and the thickness of the boss 510 is greater than the thickness of the packaging glue layer 400. By providing the cover plate 500 with a boss 510 extending toward the conductive terminal 120, wherein the connecting wire 180 is arranged on the surface of the boss 510 on the side close to the substrate 110, and the thickness of the boss 510 is greater than the thickness of the packaging glue layer 400, when manufacturing the spliced ​​panel, the connecting wire 180 on the boss 510 can contact the conductive terminal 120 before the cover plate 500, thereby ensuring that the connecting wire 180 can be more stably electrically connected to the terminals of the two sub-display panels 100; and the thickness of the connecting wire 180 can be reduced, thereby avoiding the problem of the connecting wire 180 being broken due to excessive stress on the connecting wire 180.

[0075] In this embodiment, the conductive terminal 120 is located on the side of the substrate 110 away from the light-emitting surface of the splicing panel. By arranging the conductive terminal 120 on the side of the substrate 110 away from the light-emitting surface of the splicing panel, the material of the conductive terminal 120 does not need to use a transparent indium tin oxide material, thereby improving the substitutability of the material of the conductive terminal 120.

[0076] In a second aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a second splicing panel, referring to Fig. 9 The second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment.

[0098] In this embodiment, reference Figure 5-Figure 8 , the conductive terminals 120 of two adjacent sub-display panels 100 are in the same layer. Since the conductive terminals 120 can be set in the first metal layer 130, the second metal layer 140 or the third metal layer 150, when the conductive terminals 120 of two adjacent sub-display panels 100 are in different layers, it is difficult for the connecting wire 180 to directly connect with the conductive terminals 120 of the adjacent sub-display panels 100, resulting in an increased difficulty in splicing the sub-display panels 100 of the spliced ​​panel.

In the top view of the splicing panel, the connecting line at least partially overlaps with two adjacent conductive terminals on the two adjacent sub-display panels, which can increase the stability of the connection of the sub-display panels 100 of the splicing panel, and ensure that the driving signal of the gate driving circuit 200 can be more stably transmitted to the multiple sub-display panels 100 in the first direction L.

[0100] In this embodiment, the thickness of the connection wire 180 is greater than the thickness of the encapsulation glue layer 400. By setting the thickness of the connection wire 180 to be greater than the thickness of the encapsulation glue layer 400, when manufacturing the spliced ​​panel, the connection wire 180 can contact the conductive terminal 120 before the cover plate 500, thereby ensuring that the connection wire 180 can be more stably electrically connected to the terminals of the two sub-display panels 100.

[0102] In this embodiment, the conductive terminal 120 is located on the side of the substrate 110 away from the light-emitting surface of the splicing panel. By arranging the conductive terminal 120 on the side of the substrate 110 away from the light-emitting surface of the splicing panel, the material of the conductive terminal 120 does not need to use a transparent indium tin oxide material, thereby improving the substitutability of the material of the conductive terminal 120.
