[0071] The embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be varied in many ways without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0072] The scale of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual manufacturing processes, but is not limited thereto. For example, the aspect ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the quantities shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the figures.

[0073] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.

[0074] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0075] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0076] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0077] In this specification, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged, and the "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.

[0078] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.

[0079] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.

[0080] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."

[0081] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined; they can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, as are chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.

[0082] In this disclosure, “about” means a value that is not strictly limited and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0083] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device. Figure 1As shown, the display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, a light-emitting driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is connected to the data driver, the scan driver, and the light-emitting driver. The data driver is connected to multiple data signal lines (D1 to Dn), the scan driver is connected to multiple scan signal lines (S1 to Sm), and the light-emitting driver is connected to multiple light-emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo). The pixel array may include multiple sub-pixels Pxij, where i and j can be natural numbers. At least one sub-pixel Pxij may include a circuit unit and a light-emitting unit. The circuit unit may include at least a pixel driving circuit, which is connected to the scan signal lines, the light-emitting signal lines, and the data signal lines. The light-emitting unit may include a light-emitting device, which is connected to the pixel driving circuit of the circuit unit. In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller may provide grayscale values ​​and control signals of specifications suitable for the data driver to the data driver, clock signals, scan start signals, etc., of specifications suitable for the scan driver to the scan driver, and clock signals, transmit stop signals, etc., of specifications suitable for the light-emitting driver to the light-emitting driver. The data driver can use grayscale values ​​and control signals received from the timing controller to generate data voltages to be provided to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., Dn. For example, the data driver can sample grayscale values ​​using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values ​​to data signal lines D1 to Dn in pixel rows, where n can be a natural number. The scan driver can generate scan signals to be provided to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, etc., from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver can sequentially provide scan signals with on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver can be configured as a shift register and can generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting scan start signals in the form of on-level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. The light-emitting driver can generate transmit signals to be provided to light-emitting signal lines E1, E2, E3, ..., Eo by receiving clock signals, transmit stop signals, etc., from the timing controller. For example, the light-emitting driver can sequentially provide transmit signals with cutoff level pulses to the light-emitting signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the light-emitting driver can be configured as a shift register and can generate transmit signals by sequentially transmitting transmit stop signals in the form of cutoff level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where o can be a natural number. In an exemplary embodiment, a pixel array can be disposed on a display substrate.

[0113] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the ninth transistor T9 can be either P-type transistors or N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistor in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel, and improve the product yield.

[0115] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 The operation of the pixel driving circuit shown can include stages one through five.

[0116] Phase 1. Phase 1 may include multiple sub-phases that are executed repeatedly, and each sub-phase may include a first sub-phase and a second sub-phase that are executed sequentially.

[0117] In the first sub-stage, the signals of the fourth scan signal line S4 and the first light-emitting signal line EM1 are on, while the signals of other signal lines are off. The on signal of the fourth scan signal line S4 enables the first transistor T1 to conduct, and the first initial signal of the first initial signal line INIT1 can be provided to the first node N1 to initialize it. When the third transistor T3 is a P-type transistor, it conducts. The on signal of the first light-emitting signal line EM1 enables the fifth transistor T5 to conduct, and the first power signal of the first power line VDD can be provided to the second node N2.

[0118] In the second sub-stage, the signals of the second scan signal line S2 and the first light-emitting signal line EM1 are on, while the signals of other signal lines are off. The on signal of the second scan signal line S2 enables the second transistor T2 to conduct, connecting the first node N1 and the third node N3, and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is written to the first node N1. The on signal of the second scan signal line S2 also enables the ninth transistor T9 to conduct, and the first reference signal of the first reference signal line REF1 is provided to the fifth node N5 to initialize it. The on signal of the first light-emitting signal line EM1 enables the fifth transistor T5 to conduct, and the first power signal of the first power line VDD can be provided to the second node N2.

[0119] Second stage. The signal on the third scan signal line S3 is the on signal, while the signals on the other signal lines are the off signals. The on signal on the third scan signal line S3 enables the fourth transistor T4 to conduct, and the data voltage provided by the data signal line DATA is written to the fifth node N5.

[0120] Phase 3. The signal on the first scan signal line S1 is turned on, while the signals on the other signal lines are turned off. The turn-on 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 can be written to the fourth node N4 to initialize it, preventing residual signals from the previous frame from affecting the display of this frame. The turn-on 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 can be written to the second node N2.

[0121] Phase 4. The signal on the second light-emitting signal line EM2 is turned on, while the signals on the other signal lines are turned off. The turn-on signal of the second light-emitting signal line EM2 turns on the sixth transistor T6, connecting the third node N3 and the fourth node N4, making the potentials of the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 the same.

[0122] Fifth stage. The signals of the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are turned on, while the signals of the other signal lines are turned off. The turn-on signals of the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 turn on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6. The first power supply signal of the first power supply line VDD can provide a driving signal to the light-emitting device EL through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, third transistor T3, and sixth transistor T6, driving the light-emitting device EL to emit light.

[0123] In an exemplary embodiment, when the driving transistor (i.e., the third transistor T3) remains in one state for an extended period, electrons are trapped, causing hysteresis. Therefore, in the first stage, by performing the initialization and threshold voltage writing process of 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, the second reference signal is written to the second node N2. By changing the potential of the second node N2, the hysteresis of the driving transistor can be reduced. 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.

[0124] The pixel driving circuit provided in this disclosure can effectively improve the hysteresis of the driving transistor, which is beneficial to improving the display effect.

The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern." The phrase "A and B are arranged in the same layer" in this disclosure means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer is the dimension of the film layer in the direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In the 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 includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary range of the orthographic projection of A, or the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

The 33rd via V33 is configured to allow the subsequently formed anode connecting electrode to be connected to the fifth connecting electrode 45 through the via.

[0263] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the 34th via V34 onto the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the first reference connection block 91-1 onto the substrate of the first reference signal line 91. The fifth insulating layer within the 34th via V34 is removed, exposing the surface of the first reference connection block 91-1.

[0264] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the 35th via V35 on the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the first power connection block 68-1 of the first power connection line 68 on the substrate. The fifth insulating layer in the 35th via V35 is removed, exposing the surface of the first power connection block 68-1. The 35th via V35 is configured to allow the subsequently formed first power line to be connected to the first power connection block 68-1 through the via.

[0265] 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 onto the substrate lies within the orthographic projection of the second power connection block 69-1 of the second power connection line 69 onto 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 allow a subsequently formed second power line to connect to the second power connection block 69-1 through this via. In an exemplary embodiment, the thirty-sixth via V36 may be located between the first circuit unit and the second circuit unit.

[0266] (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 a substrate on which the aforementioned pattern is formed, and patterning the fourth conductive film using a patterning process to form a fourth conductive layer disposed on a fifth insulating layer, such as... Figure 13A and13B As shown, Figure 13B for Figure 13A A schematic diagram of the fourth conductive layer. In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer may be referred to as the second source / drain metal (SD2) layer.

[0267] 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.

[0268] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51, the data signal line 53, and the reference signal connection line 54 can be strip-shaped with the main body 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.

[0269] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 can be shaped as a broken line extending along the second direction Y of the main body. The first power line 51 is connected to the fourth connecting 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 connecting 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 extending along the first direction X of the main body and the first power line 51 extending along the second direction Y of the main body are interconnected. This forms a mesh structure on the display substrate, effectively reducing the resistance of the first power line 51 and decreasing the voltage drop of the first power signal. Furthermore, it effectively improves the uniformity of the first power signal in the display substrate, thereby enhancing display uniformity and improving display quality.

[0270] In an exemplary embodiment, a power shielding block 51-1 is provided on the side of the first power line 51 near the reference signal connection line 54. The first end of the power shielding block 51-1 is connected to the first power line 51, and the second end of the power shielding block 51-1 extends towards the reference signal connection line 54. The power shielding block 51-1 can be rectangular in shape, and its orthographic projection on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first connecting electrode 41 on the substrate. Since the first connecting 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 influence 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 in the pixel driving circuit, thus improving the display effect.

[0271] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 and the power shield block 51-1 can be an integral structure that is interconnected.

[0272] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the power shield block 51-1 onto the substrate may include the orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 41 onto the substrate.

[0273] In an exemplary embodiment, a third power connector 51-2 is provided on the side of the first power line 51 near the reference signal connection line 54. The third power connector 51-2 can be a strip shape extending along the first direction X. The first end of the third power connector 51-2 is connected to the first power line 51, and the second end of the third power connector 51-2 extends toward the reference signal connection line 54 and is connected to the first power connector 68-1 through the thirty-fifth via V35.

[0274] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 and the third power connection block 51-2 can be an integral structure that is interconnected.

[0275] 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 connecting electrode 42 on the substrate. Since the second connecting electrode 42 serves as the fifth node N5 in the pixel driving circuit, the constant voltage of the first power line 51 can effectively shield the influence of other signals in the pixel driving circuit on the fifth node N5, preventing other signals from affecting the potential of the fifth node N5 in the pixel driving circuit and improving the display effect.

[0276] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 can be designed with non-uniform width. The non-uniform width design of the first power line 51 not only facilitates the layout of the pixel structure, but also reduces the parasitic capacitance between the first power line and the data signal line.

[0277] In an exemplary embodiment, the data signal line 53 can be a straight line extending along the second direction Y, and the data signal line 53 is connected to the third connection electrode 43 through the thirty-first via V31. Since the third connection electrode 43 is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the via, the data signal line 53 writes the data signal to the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4.

[0278] In an exemplary embodiment, a data signal connector 53-1 is provided on the side of the data signal line 53 near the first power line 51. The first end of the data signal connector 53-1 is connected to the data signal line 53, and the second end of the data signal connector 53-1 extends towards the first power line 51. The data signal connector 53-1 can be rectangular in shape. The data signal connector 53-1 is configured to connect to the third connection electrode 43 through a thirty-first via V31.

[0279] In an exemplary embodiment, the reference signal connection line 54 can be a straight line extending along the second direction Y of the main body. The reference signal connection line 54 is connected to the first reference connection block 91-1 through the thirty-fourth via V34. Since the first reference connection block 91-1 is connected to the first reference signal line 91, the first reference signal line 91 extending along the first direction X of the main body and the reference signal connection line 54 extending along the second direction Y of the main body are interconnected. 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 not only effectively reduces the resistance of the first reference signal line and the voltage drop of the first reference signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the first reference signal in the display substrate, thereby improving display uniformity and display quality.

[0280] In an exemplary embodiment, a reference signal connection block 54-1 is provided on the side of the reference signal connection line 54 near 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 can be rectangular in shape. The reference signal connection block 54-1 is configured to connect to the first reference connection block 91-1 through a thirty-fourth via V34.

[0281] In an exemplary embodiment, the anode connection electrode 55 can be rectangular in shape, and it is connected to the fifth connection electrode 45 through a thirty-third via V33. Since the fifth connection electrode 45 is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer (which is also the second region of the seventh active layer) through a via, 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 this exemplary embodiment, the anode connection electrode 55 is configured to connect to a subsequently formed anode, thus enabling the pixel driving circuit to drive the light-emitting device.

[0282] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the anode connection electrode 55 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the repair line 33 on the substrate.

[0283] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one circuit unit may further include a second power line 52. The shape of the second power line 52 may be a straight line extending along the second direction Y of the main body portion. The second power line 52 is connected to the second power connection block 69-1 through the thirty-sixth via V36. Since the second power connection block 69-1 is connected to the second power connection line 69, the interconnection between the second power connection line 69 extending along the first direction X of the main body portion and the second power line 52 extending along the second direction Y of the main body portion is realized. This allows the second power line 52 and the second power connection line 69 to form a mesh structure on the display substrate for transmitting the second power signal. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the second power line 52 and reduces the voltage drop of the second power signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the second power signal in the display substrate, effectively improving display uniformity, display quality, and display performance.

[0284] 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.

[0285] In an exemplary embodiment, the second power line 52 is provided with a fourth power connector 52-1. The middle portion of the fourth power connector 52-1 is connected to the second power line 52. The first end of the fourth power connector 52-1 extends toward the reference signal connection line 54 of the first circuit unit, and the second end of the fourth power connector 52-1 extends toward the data signal line 53 of the second circuit unit. The fourth power connector 52-1 can be rectangular. In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth power connector 52-1 is configured to connect to the second power connector 69-1 through a thirty-sixth via V36.

[0286] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power connection line 68 of the third conductive layer can be disposed in each cell row, and the first power line 51 of the fourth conductive layer can be disposed in each cell 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.

[0287] In an exemplary embodiment, the first reference signal line 91 of the third conductive layer can be disposed in each cell row, and the reference signal connection line 54 of the fourth conductive layer can be disposed in each cell column. Multiple first reference signal lines 91 are respectively connected to multiple reference signal connection lines 54 to form a mesh structure for transmitting the first reference signal.

[0288] In an exemplary embodiment, the second power connection line 69 of the third conductive layer can be disposed in each cell row, and the second power line 52 of the fourth conductive layer can be disposed every two cell columns. The multiple second power lines 52 are respectively connected to the multiple second power connection lines 69 to form a mesh structure for transmitting the second power signal.

[0289] Subsequent fabrication processes may include forming a first planarization layer pattern, on which a plurality of anode vias are provided. The orthographic projection of the anode vias onto the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the anode connecting electrode onto the substrate. The first planarization layer within the anode vias is removed to expose the surface of the anode connecting electrode. The anode vias are configured to allow the subsequently formed anode to be connected to the anode connecting electrode through the vias.

[0290] Thus, the driving circuit layer of this embodiment is fabricated on the substrate. In an exemplary embodiment, after the driving circuit layer is fabricated, a light-emitting structure layer and an encapsulation structure layer can be fabricated sequentially on the driving circuit layer, which will not be described in detail here.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first shielding electrode 36 is configured to shield the influence of data voltage transitions on the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, preventing data voltage transitions from affecting the normal operation of the pixel driving circuit and improving the display effect.

[0293] In an exemplary embodiment, the first shielding electrode 36 may include a first sub-electrode 36-3 and a second sub-electrode 36-4. A first end of the first sub-electrode 36-3 is connected to a second power connection line 69, and a second end of the first sub-electrode 36-3 extends in a direction away from the second power connection line 69, i.e., extends in the opposite direction of the second direction Y.

[0325] In an exemplary embodiment, the first shielding electrode 36 includes a third sub-electrode 36-5 and a fourth sub-electrode 36-6, which may be rectangular in shape. The first end of the third sub-electrode 36-5 is connected to the first power connection line 68, and the second end of the third sub-electrode 36-5 extends in a direction away from the first power connection line 68, i.e., extends in the opposite direction of the second direction Y.

The first end of the fourth sub-electrode 36-6 is connected to the first power connection line 68, and the second end of the fourth sub-electrode 36-6 extends in a direction away from the first power connection line 68. The orthographic projection of the second end of the fourth sub-electrode 36-6 onto 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 onto the substrate.

[0326] In some possible exemplary embodiments, the middle portion of the third sub-electrode 36-5 is connected to the first power connection line 68, the first end of the third sub-electrode 36-5 extends in the opposite direction of the second direction Y, and the second end of the third sub-electrode 36-5 extends in the second direction Y.

[0328] In an exemplary embodiment, the first shielding electrode 36 and the first power connection line 68 are an integral structure that are interconnected.

[0329] 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 connect to the subsequently formed first power line.

[0330] (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 a substrate on which the aforementioned pattern is formed, patterning the fifth insulating film using a patterning process to form a fifth insulating layer covering the third conductive layer, wherein each circuit unit is provided with multiple vias, such as... Figure 20 As shown.

[0331] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of vias in each circuit unit of the display substrate include at least: vias V31 to V35 and via V37. The positions, structures and connections of vias V31 to V34 are basically the same as those in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0332] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the 35th via V35 on the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the 10th connecting electrode 50 on the substrate. The fifth insulating layer within the 35th via V35 is removed, exposing the surface of the 10th connecting electrode 50. The 35th via V35 is configured to allow a subsequently formed first power line to be connected to the 10th connecting electrode 50 through the via.

[0333] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the 37th via V37 onto the substrate can be located within the range of the orthographic projection of the third sub-electrode 36-5 onto the substrate. The fifth insulating layer within the 37th via V37 is removed, exposing the surface of the third sub-electrode 36-5. The 37th via V37 is configured to allow the subsequently formed first power line to connect to the first power connection line 68 through the via. Since the third sub-electrode 36-5 is connected to the first power connection line 68, the interconnection of the first power connection line 68 extending along the first direction X of the main body portion and the first power line 51 extending along the second direction Y of the main body portion is realized. This allows the first power line 51 and the first power connection line 68 to form a mesh structure on the display substrate for transmitting the first power signal. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the first power line 51 and reduces the voltage drop of the first power signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the first power signal in the display substrate, effectively improving display uniformity and enhancing display quality.

[0334] 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 onto the substrate lies within the orthographic projection of the second power connection block 69-1 of the second power connection line 69 onto 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 allow a subsequently formed second power line to connect to the second power connection block 69-1 through this via. In an exemplary embodiment, the thirty-sixth via V36 may be located between the first circuit unit and the second circuit unit.

[0335] (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 a substrate on which the aforementioned pattern is formed, and patterning the fourth conductive film using a patterning process to form a fourth conductive layer disposed on a fifth insulating layer, such as... Figure 21A and 21B As shown, Figure 21B for Figure 21A A schematic diagram of the fourth conductive layer.

[0336] 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 positions, structures, and connection relationships of the data signal line 53, the reference signal connection line 54, and the anode connection electrode 55 are substantially the same as in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0337] In an exemplary embodiment, a power shielding block 51-1 is provided on the side of the first power line 51 near the reference signal connection line 54. The first end of the power shielding block 51-1 is connected to the first power line 51, and the second end of the power shielding block 51-1 extends towards the reference signal connection line 54. The power shielding block 51-1 can be rectangular in shape, and its orthographic projection on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first connecting electrode 41 on the substrate. Since the first connecting 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 influence 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 in the pixel driving circuit, thus improving the display effect.

[0338] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 and the power shield block 51-1 can be an integral structure that is interconnected.

[0339] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the power shield block 51-1 onto the substrate may include the orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 41 onto the substrate.

[0340] In an exemplary embodiment, a third power connection block 51-2 is provided on the side of the first power line 51 near the reference signal connection line 54. The third power connection block 51-2 can be a strip shape extending along the first direction X. The first end of the third power connection block 51-2 is connected to the first power line 51, and the second end of the third power connection block 51-2 extends towards the reference signal connection line 54 and is connected to the tenth connection electrode 50 through the thirty-fifth via V35.

[0341] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 and the third power connection block 51-2 can be an integral structure that is interconnected.

[0342] 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. The first end of the fifth power connection block 51-3 is connected to the first power line 51, and the second end of the fifth power connection block 51-3 extends towards the data signal line 53 within the circuit unit. The shape of the fifth power connection block 51-3 may be rectangular. The fifth power connection block 51-3 is connected to the first power connection line 68 through a thirty-seventh via V37. Since the fifth power connection block 51-3 is connected to the first power line 51, the first power connection line 68 extending along the first direction X of the main body and the first power line 51 extending along the second direction Y of the main body are interconnected. This allows the first power line 51 and the first power connection line 68 to form a mesh structure on the display substrate for transmitting the first power signal. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the first power line 51 and decreases the voltage drop of the first power signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the first power signal in the display substrate, thereby improving display uniformity, display quality, and display performance.

[0343] Subsequent fabrication processes may include forming a first planarization layer pattern, on which a plurality of anode vias are provided. The orthographic projection of the anode vias onto the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the anode connecting electrode onto the substrate. The first planarization layer within the anode vias is removed to expose the surface of the anode connecting electrode. The anode vias are configured to allow the subsequently formed anode to be connected to the anode connecting electrode through the vias.

[0344] Thus, the driving circuit layer of this embodiment is fabricated on the substrate. In an exemplary embodiment, after the driving circuit layer is fabricated, a light-emitting structure layer and an encapsulation structure layer can be fabricated sequentially on the driving circuit layer, which will not be described in detail here.

Similarly, the second power line and the second power connection line are interconnected, forming a mesh structure on the display substrate for transmitting the second power signal. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the first and second power lines and decreases the voltage drop of the first and second power signals, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the first and second power signals in the display substrate, thereby enhancing display quality. Furthermore, by setting a shielding electrode connected to the first or second power connection line with a constant potential, this embodiment of the present disclosure can effectively shield the nodes between the two gate electrodes of the dual-gate transistor, ensuring the normal operation of the pixel driving circuit and improving the display effect.

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

[0347] The embodiments disclosed herein construct a double-layer signal line by setting a first active connection line of the semiconductor layer and a first reference signal line of the third conductive layer. This can effectively reduce the voltage drop of the reference signal, improve the uniformity of the panel, avoid display defects in the display substrate, and ensure the display effect of the display substrate.

[0348] This embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting a first shielding electrode, a second shielding electrode, a third shielding electrode, and a fourth shielding electrode, can shield the effects of data voltage jumps on the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the ninth transistor T9, and critical nodes, thereby preventing data voltage jumps from affecting the normal operation of the pixel driving circuit and improving the display effect.

[0349] This embodiment of the present disclosure effectively avoids other signals affecting the potential of 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 to shield the first node N1 and the fifth node N5 of the pixel driving circuit, thereby improving the display effect.
