Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.

Integrating low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors and oxide thin-film transistors on a display substrate, i.e., an LTPS+Oxide (LTPO) display substrate, can take advantage of the advantages of both, achieve low-frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display quality.
[0098] In an exemplary embodiment, the operation process of the pixel driving circuit shown in FIG. 4 may include a first stage to a fifth stage.
[0099] Phase 1. The first phase may include multiple sub-phases that are repeatedly executed, and each sub-phase may include a first sub-phase and a second sub-phase that are executed sequentially.
[0100] In the first sub-phase, the signals on the fourth scan signal line S4 and the first emission signal line EM1 are on signals, while the signals on the other signal lines are off signals. The on signal on the fourth scan signal line S4 turns on the first transistor T1, and the first initialization signal on the first initialization signal line INIT1 is provided to the first node N1 to initialize the first node N1. If the third transistor T3 is a P-type transistor, the third transistor T3 turns on. The on signal on the first emission signal line EM1 turns on the fifth transistor T5, and the first power signal on the first power line VDD is provided to the second node N2.
[0101] In the second sub-phase, the signals on the second scan signal line S2 and the first emission signal line EM1 are on signals, while the signals on the other signal lines are off signals. The on signal on the second scan signal line S2 turns on the second transistor T2, connecting the first node N1 and the third node N3. The threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is written to the first node N1. The on signal on the second scan signal line S2 turns on the ninth transistor T9. The first reference signal on the first reference signal line REF1 is provided to the fifth node N5 to initialize it. The on signal on the first emission signal line EM1 turns on the fifth transistor T5, and the first power signal on the first power line VDD is provided to the second node N2.
[0102] Phase 2: The signal on the third scan signal line S3 is an on signal, and the signals on the other signal lines are off signals. The signal on the third scan signal line S3 is an on signal, which turns on the fourth transistor T4 and writes the data voltage provided by the data signal line DATA into the fifth node N5.
[0103] Phase 3: The signal on the first scan signal line S1 is an on signal, while the signals on the other signal lines are off signals. The signal on the first scan signal line S1 turns on the seventh transistor T7, and the second initial signal on the second initial signal line INIT2 is written to the fourth node N4 to initialize the fourth node N4 and prevent residual signals from the previous frame from affecting the display of the current frame. The signal on the first scan signal line S1 turns on the eighth transistor T8, and the second reference signal on the second reference signal line REF2 is written to the second node N2.
[0104] Phase 4: The signal on the second light-emitting signal line EM2 is an on signal, and the signals on the other signal lines are off signals. The signal on the second light-emitting signal line EM2 turns on the sixth transistor T6, connecting the third node N3 and the fourth node N4, so that the potentials of the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are the same.
[0105] Phase 5. The signals on the first and second emission signal lines EM1 and EM2 are on, while the signals on the other signal lines are off. The signals on the first and second emission signal lines EM1 and EM2 are on, turning on the fifth and sixth transistors T5 and T6. The first power signal on the first power line VDD can provide a drive signal to the light-emitting device EL via the turned-on fifth, third, and sixth transistors T5, T3, and T6, driving the light-emitting device EL to emit light.
[0106] In an exemplary embodiment, when the driving transistor (i.e., the third transistor T3) remains in one state for a long time, electrons may be trapped in a trap, causing hysteresis. Therefore, in the first stage, by performing the initialization and threshold voltage writing process on the first node N1 multiple times (e.g., three times), not only can the hysteresis of the driving transistor be reduced, but the potential stability of the first node N1 can also be ensured. In the third stage, a second reference signal is written to the second node N2. By changing the potential of the second node N2, it can help reduce the hysteresis of the driving transistor. In the fourth stage, by connecting the third node N3 and the fourth node N4, the potential of the fourth node N4 can be increased, which helps to reduce the time required to reach the turn-on voltage of the light-emitting device.
[0107] The pixel driving circuit provided by the present disclosure can effectively improve the hysteresis of the driving transistor, which is beneficial to improving the display effect.

[0136] The following is an illustrative explanation of the preparation process of the display substrate. The "patterning process" mentioned in the present disclosure includes processes such as coating photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, and stripping photoresist for metal materials, inorganic materials, or transparent conductive materials, and includes processes such as coating organic materials, mask exposure, and development for organic materials. Deposition can be carried out by any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition, coating can be carried out by any one or more of spraying, spin coating, and inkjet printing, and etching can be carried out by any one or more of dry etching and wet etching, and the present disclosure does not limit this. "Thin film" refers to a thin film made by deposition, coating, or other processes on a substrate of a certain material. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire production process, the "thin film" can also be called a "layer". If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire production process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern". As used in this disclosure, "A and B are disposed in the same layer" means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer refers to the dimension of the film layer in a direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A contains the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary of the orthographic projection of A, or that the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

[0248] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one circuit unit may further include a thirty-sixth via V36. The orthographic projection of the thirty-sixth via V36 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the second power connection block 69-1 of the second power connection line 69 on the substrate. The fifth insulating layer within the thirty-sixth via V36 is removed, exposing the surface of the second power connection block 69-1. The thirty-sixth via V36 is configured to connect a subsequently formed second power line to the second power connection block 69-1 through the via. In an exemplary embodiment, the thirty-sixth via V36 may be located between the first circuit unit and the second circuit unit.
[0249] (17) Forming a fourth conductive layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the fourth conductive layer pattern may include: depositing a fourth conductive film on the substrate having the aforementioned pattern formed thereon, and patterning the fourth conductive film using a patterning process to form a fourth conductive layer disposed on the fifth insulating layer, as shown in Figures 13A and 13B, where Figure 13B is a schematic diagram of the fourth conductive layer in Figure 13A. In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer may be referred to as a second source / drain metal (SD2) layer.
[0250] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer pattern of each circuit unit in the display substrate may include a first power supply line 51 , a data signal line 53 , a reference signal connection line 54 , and an anode connection electrode 55 .
[0251] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first power line 51, the data signal line 53 and the reference signal connection line 54 can be a strip shape with the main portion extending along the second direction Y, the first power line 51 can be located on one side of the data signal line 53 in the first direction X, and the reference signal connection line 54 can be located on one side of the first power line 51 in the first direction X, that is, the first power line 51 can be located between the data signal line 53 and the reference signal connection line 54.
[0252] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 may be shaped like a zigzag line with a main portion extending along the second direction Y. The first power line 51 is connected to the fourth connection electrode 44 via the thirty-second via V32 and to the first power connection block 68-1 via the thirty-fifth via V35. Since the fourth connection electrode 44 is connected to the first region of the fifth active layer via the via, the first power line 51 writes the first power signal to the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5. Since the first power connection block 68-1 is connected to the first power connection line 68, the first power connection line 68, whose main portion extends along the first direction X, is interconnected with the first power line 51, whose main portion extends along the second direction Y. The first power lines 51 and 68 form a mesh structure on the display substrate that transmits the first power signal. This effectively reduces the resistance of the first power line 51 and the voltage drop of the first power signal, and also effectively improves the uniformity of the first power signal across the display substrate, thereby enhancing display uniformity and improving display quality.
[0253] In an exemplary embodiment, a power shielding block 51-1 is disposed on a side of the first power line 51 near the reference signal connection line 54. A first end of the power shielding block 51-1 is connected to the first power line 51, and a second end of the power shielding block 51-1 extends toward the reference signal connection line 54. The power shielding block 51-1 may be rectangular in shape, and the orthographic projection of the power shielding block 51-1 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 41 on the substrate. Because the first connection electrode 41 serves as the first node N1 in the pixel driving circuit, the constant voltage power shielding block 51-1 can effectively shield the first node N1 from the effects of other signals in the pixel driving circuit, preventing other signals (such as data voltage jumps) from affecting the potential of the first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit, thereby improving the display effect.
[0254] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 and the power shielding block 51 - 1 may be an integral structure connected to each other.
[0255] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the power shielding block 51 - 1 on the substrate may include the orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 41 on the substrate.
[0256] In an exemplary embodiment, a third power connection block 51-2 is provided on a side of the first power line 51 near the reference signal connection line 54. The third power connection block 51-2 may be in the shape of a bar extending along the first direction X. A first end of the third power connection block 51-2 is connected to the first power line 51, and a second end of the third power connection block 51-2 extends toward the reference signal connection line 54 and is connected to the first power connection block 68-1 through a thirty-fifth via V35.
[0257] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 and the third power connection block 51 - 2 may be an integral structure connected to each other.
[0258] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first power line 51 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second connection electrode 42 on the substrate. Because the second connection electrode 42 serves as the fifth node N5 in the pixel driving circuit, the constant voltage first power line 51 can effectively shield the fifth node N5 from the influence of other signals in the pixel driving circuit, preventing other signals from affecting the potential of the fifth node N5 of the pixel driving circuit, thereby improving the display effect.
[0259] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power lines 51 may be designed with unequal widths. The unequal width design of the first power lines 51 not only facilitates the layout of the pixel structure but also reduces the parasitic capacitance between the first power lines and the data signal lines.
[0260] In an exemplary embodiment, the data signal line 53 may be in the shape of a straight line with a main portion extending along the second direction Y. The data signal line 53 is connected to the third connection electrode 43 through the thirty-first via hole V31. Since the third connection electrode 43 is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the via hole, the data signal line 53 writes the data signal to the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4.
[0261] In an exemplary embodiment, a data signal connection block 53-1 is provided on a side of the data signal line 53 close to the first power line 51. A first end of the data signal connection block 53-1 is connected to the data signal line 53, and a second end of the data signal connection block 53-1 extends toward the first power line 51. The data signal connection block 53-1 may be rectangular in shape. The data signal connection block 53-1 is configured to be connected to the third connection electrode 43 through the thirty-first via hole V31.
[0262] In an exemplary embodiment, the reference signal connection line 54 may be shaped as a straight line, with the main portion extending along the second direction Y. The reference signal connection line 54 is connected to the first reference connection block 91-1 via a thirty-fourth via hole V34. Since the first reference connection block 91-1 is connected to the first reference signal line 91, the first reference signal line 91, whose main portion extends along the first direction X, is interconnected with the reference signal connection line 54, whose main portion extends along the second direction Y. This allows the first reference signal line 91 and the reference signal connection line 54 to form a mesh structure on the display substrate for transmitting the first reference signal. This effectively reduces the resistance of the first reference signal line and the voltage drop of the first reference signal, and also effectively improves the uniformity of the first reference signal across the display substrate, thereby enhancing display uniformity and improving display quality.
[0263] In an exemplary embodiment, a reference signal connection block 54-1 is provided on a side of the reference signal connection line 54 close to the data signal line 53. A first end of the reference signal connection block 54-1 is connected to the reference signal connection line 54, and a second end of the reference signal connection block 54-1 extends toward the data signal line 53. The reference signal connection block 54-1 may be rectangular in shape. The reference signal connection block 54-1 is configured to be connected to the first reference connection block 91-1 through the thirty-fourth via V34.
[0264] In an exemplary embodiment, the anode connection electrode 55 may be rectangular in shape and is connected to the fifth connection electrode 45 via a thirty-third via hole V33. Since the fifth connection electrode 45 is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer (also the second region of the seventh active layer) via the via hole, the anode connection electrode 55 is connected to the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7. In an exemplary embodiment, the anode connection electrode 55 is configured to be connected to a subsequently formed anode, thereby enabling the pixel driving circuit to drive the light-emitting device.
[0265] In an exemplary embodiment, an orthographic projection of the anode connection electrode 55 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of the repair line 33 on the substrate.
[0266] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one circuit unit may further include a second power line 52. The second power line 52 may be in the form of a straight line with a main portion extending along the second direction Y. The second power line 52 is connected to the second power connection block 69-1 via a thirty-sixth via hole V36. Since the second power connection block 69-1 is connected to the second power connection line 69, the second power connection line 69 extending along the first direction X and the second power line 52 extending along the second direction Y are interconnected. This allows the second power lines 52 and 69 to form a mesh structure on the display substrate that transmits the second power signal. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the second power line 52 and the voltage drop of the second power signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the second power signal across the display substrate, effectively enhancing display uniformity and improving display quality.
[0267] In an exemplary embodiment, the second power line 52 may be located between the reference signal connection line 54 of the first circuit unit and the data signal line 53 of the second circuit unit.
[0268] In an exemplary embodiment, the second power line 52 is provided with a fourth power connection block 52-1. The middle portion of the fourth power connection block 52-1 is connected to the second power line 52. The first end of the fourth power connection block 52-1 extends toward the reference signal connection line 54 of the first circuit unit, and the second end of the fourth power connection block 52-1 extends toward the data signal line 53 of the second circuit unit. The fourth power connection block 52-1 can be rectangular in shape. In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth power connection block 52-1 is configured to connect to the second power connection block 69-1 through the thirty-sixth via V36.
[0269] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power connection line 68 of the third conductive layer can be set in each unit row, and the first power line 51 of the fourth conductive layer can be set in each unit column. Multiple first power lines 51 are respectively connected to multiple first power connection lines 68 to form a mesh structure for transmitting the first power signal.

[0307] In an exemplary embodiment, each circuit unit may further include a first shielding electrode 36. The first shielding electrode 36 is connected to the first power connection line 68.

The orthographic projection of the second end of the fourth sub-electrode 36-6 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the semiconductor layer between the two gate electrodes of the second transistor T2 in this circuit unit on the substrate.
[0309] In some possible exemplary embodiments, a middle portion of the third sub-electrode 36 - 5 is connected to the first power connection line 68 , a first end of the third sub-electrode 36 - 5 extends in a direction opposite to the second direction Y, and a second end of the third sub-electrode 36 - 5 extends in the second direction Y.

[0311] In an exemplary embodiment, the first shielding electrode 36 and the first power connection line 68 are an integral structure connected to each other.
[0312] In an exemplary embodiment, the tenth connection electrode 50 may be rectangular in shape and may be located between the first reference signal line 91 and the second power connection line 69. The tenth connection electrode 50 is connected to the fourth electrode plate 74 through a thirteenth via V13. In an exemplary embodiment, the tenth connection electrode 50 is configured to be connected to a first power line formed subsequently.
[0313] (33) Forming a fifth insulating layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the fifth insulating layer pattern may include: depositing a fifth insulating film on the substrate having the aforementioned pattern formed thereon, patterning the fifth insulating film using a patterning process to form a fifth insulating layer covering the third conductive layer, wherein a plurality of vias are provided in each circuit unit, as shown in FIG. 20 .
[0314] In an exemplary embodiment, the multiple vias of each circuit unit in the display substrate include at least: the thirty-first via V31 to the thirty-fifth via V35, and the thirty-seventh via V37. The positions, structures, and connection relationships of the thirty-first via V31 to the thirty-fourth via V34 are basically the same as those in the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0315] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the thirty-fifth via hole V35 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the tenth connecting electrode 50 on the substrate, the fifth insulating layer in the thirty-fifth via hole V35 is removed, exposing the surface of the tenth connecting electrode 50, and the thirty-fifth via hole V35 is configured to connect the subsequently formed first power line to the tenth connecting electrode 50 through the via hole.
[0316] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the thirty-seventh via hole V37 on the substrate can be located within the orthographic projection of the third sub-electrode 36-5 on the substrate. The fifth insulating layer within the thirty-seventh via hole V37 is removed, exposing the surface of the third sub-electrode 36-5. The thirty-seventh via hole V37 is configured to connect a subsequently formed first power line to the first power connection line 68 through the via hole. Because the third sub-electrode 36-5 is connected to the first power connection line 68, the first power connection line 68 extending in the main portion along the first direction X and the first power line 51 extending in the main portion along the second direction Y are interconnected. The first power lines 51 and 68 form a mesh structure on the display substrate that transmits the first power signal. This effectively reduces the resistance of the first power line 51 and the voltage drop of the first power signal, and also effectively improves the uniformity of the first power signal across the display substrate, thereby enhancing display uniformity and improving display quality.
[0317] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one circuit unit may further include a thirty-sixth via V36. The orthographic projection of the thirty-sixth via V36 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the second power connection block 69-1 of the second power connection line 69 on the substrate. The fifth insulating layer within the thirty-sixth via V36 is removed, exposing the surface of the second power connection block 69-1. The thirty-sixth via V36 is configured to connect a subsequently formed second power line to the second power connection block 69-1 through the via. In an exemplary embodiment, the thirty-sixth via V36 may be located between the first circuit unit and the second circuit unit.
[0318] (34) Forming a fourth conductive layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the fourth conductive layer pattern may include: depositing a fourth conductive film on the substrate having the aforementioned pattern formed thereon, and patterning the fourth conductive film using a patterning process to form a fourth conductive layer disposed on the fifth insulating layer, as shown in Figures 21A and 21B , with Figure 21B being a schematic diagram of the fourth conductive layer in Figure 21A .
[0319] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer pattern of each circuit unit in the display substrate may include: a first power line 51, a data signal line 53, a reference signal connection line 54, and an anode connection electrode 55. The position, structure, and connection relationship of the data signal line 53, the reference signal connection line 54, and the anode connection electrode 55 are substantially the same as those in the previous embodiment and are not further described here.
[0320] In an exemplary embodiment, a power shielding block 51-1 is disposed on a side of the first power line 51 near the reference signal connection line 54. A first end of the power shielding block 51-1 is connected to the first power line 51, and a second end of the power shielding block 51-1 extends toward the reference signal connection line 54. The power shielding block 51-1 may be rectangular in shape, and the orthographic projection of the power shielding block 51-1 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 41 on the substrate. Because the first connection electrode 41 serves as the first node N1 in the pixel driving circuit, the constant voltage power shielding block 51-1 can effectively shield the first node N1 from the effects of other signals in the pixel driving circuit, preventing other signals (such as data voltage jumps) from affecting the potential of the first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit, thereby improving the display effect.
[0321] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 and the power shielding block 51 - 1 may be an integral structure connected to each other.
[0322] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the power shielding block 51 - 1 on the substrate may include the orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 41 on the substrate.
[0323] In an exemplary embodiment, a third power connection block 51-2 is provided on a side of the first power line 51 near the reference signal connection line 54. The third power connection block 51-2 may be in the shape of a bar extending along the first direction X. A first end of the third power connection block 51-2 is connected to the first power line 51, and a second end of the third power connection block 51-2 extends toward the reference signal connection line 54 and is connected to the tenth connection electrode 50 through a thirty-fifth via V35.
[0324] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 and the third power connection block 51 - 2 may be an integral structure connected to each other.
[0325] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer pattern of each circuit unit in the display substrate may further include a fifth power connection block 51-3. A first end of the fifth power connection block 51-3 is connected to the first power line 51, and a second end of the fifth power connection block 51-3 extends toward the data signal line 53 within the circuit unit. The fifth power connection block 51-3 may be rectangular in shape. The fifth power connection block 51-3 is connected to the first power connection line 68 via the thirty-seventh via V37. Because the fifth power connection block 51-3 is connected to the first power line 51, the first power connection line 68, whose main portion extends along the first direction X, is interconnected with the first power line 51, whose main portion extends along the second direction Y. This allows the first power lines 51 and 68 to form a mesh structure on the display substrate that transmits the first power signal. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the first power line 51 and the voltage drop of the first power signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the first power signal across the display substrate, effectively enhancing display uniformity and improving display quality.
[0326] The subsequent preparation process may include forming a first flat layer pattern, a plurality of anode vias are provided on the first flat layer, the orthographic projection of the anode vias on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the anode connecting electrode on the substrate, the first flat layer in the anode via is removed to expose the surface of the anode connecting electrode, and the anode via is configured to connect the subsequently formed anode to the anode connecting electrode through the via.
[0327] At this point, the driving circuit layer of this embodiment is prepared on the substrate. In an exemplary embodiment, after the driving circuit layer is prepared, a light emitting structure layer and an encapsulation structure layer can be sequentially prepared on the driving circuit layer, which will not be described in detail here.

This can not only effectively reduce the resistance of the first power line and the second power line, reduce the voltage drop of the first power signal and the second power signal, but also effectively improve the uniformity of the first power signal and the second power signal in the display substrate, thereby improving the display quality and display quality.

[0332] The embodiment of the present disclosure shields the first node N1 and the fifth node N5 of the pixel driving circuit by setting a first power line and a power shielding block, thereby effectively preventing other signals from affecting the potentials of the first node N1 and the fifth node N5 of the pixel driving circuit and improving the display effect.
