[0109] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals in the figures represent like or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.
[0110] The terms "a", "an", and "said" are used to indicate that there are one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms "including" and "having" are used to express an open-ended inclusive meaning and mean that there may be additional elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.
[0111] In the related art, a display panel includes a pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting unit. The pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor. The driving transistor outputs a driving current to the light-emitting unit according to its gate voltage. The driving current output by the driving transistor is I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vgs-Vth)2, where μ is the carrier mobility; Cox is the gate capacitance per unit area, W is the width of the driving transistor channel, L is the length of the driving transistor channel, Vgs is the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. The magnitude of the driving current output by the driving transistor is related to the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. However, in the related art, due to process errors and other reasons, the threshold voltages of different driving transistors on the display panel vary, resulting in uneven display of the display panel. In the related art, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor can be compensated by external compensation so that the magnitude of the driving current output by the driving transistor is unrelated to the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. In the related art, the display panel usually sets a compensation circuit in the pixel driving circuit, and inputs a threshold compensation signal to the gate of the driving transistor through the compensation circuit so that the driving current output by the driving transistor is unrelated to its threshold voltage. However, since the pixel driving circuit includes a compensation circuit, the layout space of the pixel driving circuit is relatively large, which makes it difficult to achieve high-density pixel arrangement in the display panel.
[0112] Based on this, this exemplary embodiment provides a display panel. FIG1 is a schematic structural diagram of an exemplary embodiment of a display panel disclosed herein. The display panel may include a base substrate and a plurality of drive units Dpi. The orthographic projections of the plurality of drive units Dpi on the base substrate are arranged in an array along the row direction X and the column direction Y. The drive units Dpi may include: two rows and five columns of pixel drive circuits Pix and a compensation circuit Cp. The compensation circuit Cp may be connected to each pixel drive circuit Pix within the same drive unit, and the compensation circuit Cp is configured to provide a threshold compensation signal to the connected pixel drive circuit Pix.
[0113] The display panel provided in this exemplary embodiment can provide threshold compensation signals to multiple pixel driving circuits Pix via compensation circuit Cp, thereby decoupling the driving current output by the driving transistors in the pixel driving circuits from their threshold voltages. This arrangement can improve the integration of the pixel driving circuits, thereby facilitating the design of high-pixel-density display panels.
[0114] As shown in Figure 1 , the drive unit Dpi may include a first sub-drive unit Dpi1 and a second sub-drive unit Dpi2.

It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor T5 may also be N-type transistors.
[0126] FIG3 is a timing diagram of each signal line in a driving method of the display panel shown in FIG2. In particular, G1 represents the timing diagram of the gate drive signal terminal G1, G2 represents the timing diagram of the gate drive signal terminal G2, EM represents the timing diagram of the enable signal terminal, and Re represents the timing diagram of the reset signal terminal.
[0127] The driving method of the driving unit in the display panel may include: a first data writing phase t1, a second data writing phase t2, and a light emitting phase t3. In the first data writing phase t1, the reset signal terminal Re outputs a low level, the fifth transistor T5 and the third transistor T3 are turned on, the initial signal terminal Vinit inputs an initial signal to the first input terminal IN1 of each driving transistor DT in the same driving unit, the reference signal terminal Vref inputs a reference signal to the first node N1, and simultaneously, the gate driving signal terminal G1 outputs a low level, the first transistor T1 in the first row pixel driving circuit is turned on, the data signal line inputs a data signal to the first control terminal CN1 in the first row pixel driving circuit, and simultaneously, the first power supply terminal VDD inputs a voltage Vdd+Vth to the second output terminal OT2, where Vdd is the voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD and Vth is the threshold voltage of the analog transistor DTd. During the second data writing phase t2, the reset signal terminal Re outputs a low level, the fifth transistor T5 and the third transistor T3 are turned on, the initial signal terminal Vinit inputs an initial signal to the first input terminal IN1 of each driver transistor DT in the same driver unit, the reference signal terminal Vref inputs a reference signal to the first node N1, and the gate drive signal terminal G2 outputs a low level. The first transistor T1 in the second row pixel driver circuit is turned on, and the data signal line inputs a data signal to the first control terminal CN1 in the second row pixel driver circuit. Furthermore, the first power supply terminal VDD continuously inputs a voltage Vdd+Vth to the second output terminal OT2. During the light-emitting phase t3, the enable signal terminal EM outputs a low level enable signal, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, and the voltage at the first node N1 changes from Vref to Vdd+Vth. Coupled by the first capacitor C1, the voltage at the first control terminal CN1 changes from Vdata to Vdd+Vth-Vref+Vdata. Vref is the voltage of the reference signal, and Vdata is the voltage of the data signal. Thus, the driving current output by the driving transistor DT is I = (μW Cox / 2L)(Vgs - Vth)² = I = (μW Cox / 2L)(Vdata - Vref)². This driving current formula indicates that the driving current output by the pixel driving circuit in this display panel is independent of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. Furthermore, the driving current output by the pixel driving circuit in this display panel is also independent of the voltage at the first power supply terminal. This means that this display panel can address display unevenness caused by a signal voltage drop at the first power supply terminal.

In this exemplary embodiment, the display panel can also use the first conductive layer as a mask to perform a conductor process on the active layer. That is, the area of the active layer covered by the first conductive layer can form the channel region of the transistor, and the area of the active layer not covered by the first conductive layer forms a conductor structure.
[0142] As shown in Figures 18, 21, and 26, in this exemplary embodiment, the second conductive layer may include a first conductive portion 61, a second conductive portion 62, a third conductive portion 63, a power line VDD, an enable signal line EM, a reference signal line Vref, and a reset signal line Re. The second conductive layer in this exemplary embodiment differs from the second conductive layer in the display panel shown in Figure 4 only in that, in this exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the power line VDD on the substrate has a uniform size in the column direction Y.
[0143] As shown in Figures 18, 22, and 27, the third conductive layer may include a first bridge portion 71, a second bridge portion 72, a third bridge portion 73, and a power connection line segment 7VDD1.

The orthographic projection of the same power connection line segment 7VDD1 on the substrate can overlap with the orthographic projections of the first conductive portions 61 in two adjacent rows of pixel drive circuits on the substrate, and these two adjacent rows of pixel drive circuits are respectively located in adjacent drive units in the column direction. Figure 22 only shows a partial structure of the complete power connection line segment 7VDD1.

The power connection line segment 7VDD1 can be used to form the first electrode of the second capacitor.
[0144] As shown in Figures 18, 22, and 27, in a drive unit, the orthographic projection of the reference signal line Vref on the substrate is located between the orthographic projections of the enable signal line EM and the reset signal line Re on the substrate. The orthographic projection of the power connection line segment 7VDD1 on the substrate can be located between the orthographic projections of the reset signal line Re and the enable signal line EM in adjacent drive units in the column direction. Adjacent reset signal lines Re and enable signal lines EM may refer to reset signal lines Re and enable signal lines EM that are not interposed with other reset signal lines Re or enable signal lines EM. That is, the orthographic projection of the power connection line segment 7VDD1 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projections of EM, the reset signal line Re, or the reference signal line Vref on the substrate. This arrangement reduces the parasitic capacitance of the enable signal line EM, the reset signal line Re, and the reference signal line Vref, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the enable signal line EM, the reset signal line Re, and the reference signal line Vref.

For example, the first electrode portion R, the third electrode portion G, and the second electrode portion B may be alternately distributed in the row direction, and electrode portions of the same color may be located in the same column. As shown in Figure 18, the orthographic projection of the electrode portion on the base substrate is located between the orthographic projections of two adjacent data lines Da on the base substrate. On the one hand, this arrangement can avoid the influence of the data line Da on the flatness of the electrode portion, and on the other hand, this arrangement can reduce the noise impact of the data line Da on the electrode portion.

The first conductive line 75 can be connected to the active line 416 through a plurality of vias distributed in the row direction X to connect to the first electrode of the driving transistor DT. The first conductive line 75 can reduce the resistance of the active line 416, thereby reducing the voltage drop of the signal on the active line 416. The seventh conductive portion 79 can be connected to the first conductive portion 61 through a via. In this exemplary embodiment, the square resistance of the second conductive layer is greater than the square resistance of the third conductive layer.

[0159] As shown in Figures 38, 43, and 49, the fourth conductive layer may include a first shielding line 81, a second shielding line 82, and a power line VDD, wherein the orthographic projection of the power line VDD on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the first shielding line 81 on the substrate may extend along the row direction X, and the orthographic projection of the second shielding line 82 on the substrate may extend along the column direction Y. The orthographic projections of the first shielding line 81, the power line VDD, and the orthographic projections of the second shielding line 82 on the substrate intersect. Each column of pixel drive circuits may be provided with a corresponding second shielding line 82, each row of pixel drive circuits may be provided with a corresponding first shielding line 81, and each row of drive units may be provided with a corresponding power line VDD. Multiple first shielding lines 81, multiple power lines VDD, and multiple second shielding lines 82 may form a grid structure. The power lines in the grid structure have a relatively low resistance, thereby reducing the voltage drop of the power signal on the power lines. The orthographic projections of the first shielding line 81 and the second shielding line 82 on the substrate substrate can at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of the equipotential structure of the second electrode of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate. Partial structures of the first shielding line 81 and the second shielding line 82 can be used to form the first electrode of the second capacitor C2, and the second electrode of the first capacitor C1 can be reused as the second electrode of the second capacitor C2. For example, the orthographic projection of the second shielding line 82 on the substrate substrate can overlap with the orthographic projection of the seventh conductive portion 79 on the substrate substrate, and the orthographic projection of the first shielding line 81 on the substrate substrate can overlap with the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 61 on the substrate substrate.

[0160] As shown in Figures 38, 44, and 50, the fifth conductive layer may include a data line Da and a fifth bridge portion 95.

The data line Da may be connected to the second conductive portion 62 via a via to connect to the first electrode of the first transistor T1. The fifth bridge portion 95 may be connected to the third bridge portion 73 via a via to connect to the second electrode of the driving transistor.
[0161] As shown in Figures 38, 43, 44, and 50, the second shielding line 82 may include a first extension 821 and a second extension 822. The overlapping portion of the orthographic projection of the seventh conductive portion 79 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the data line Da on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first extension 821 on the substrate. That is, the first extension 821 shields between the seventh conductive portion 79 and the data line Da to shield the noise impact of the data line Da on the seventh conductive portion 79, thereby improving the stability of the gate voltage of the driving transistor. The orthographic projection of the second extension 822 on the substrate can be located between the orthographic projections of adjacent data lines Da on the substrate, that is, the orthographic projection of the second extension 822 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the data line Da on the substrate. This arrangement can reduce the parasitic capacitance of the data line Da, thereby improving the efficiency of writing data signals to the data line.

[0176] As shown in Figures 59, 64, 65, and 71, the second shielding line 82 may include a first extension 821 and a second extension 822. The overlapping portion of the orthographic projection of the seventh conductive portion 79 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the data line Da on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first extension 821 on the substrate. The overlapping portion of the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 61 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the data line Da on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first extension 821 on the substrate. In other words, the first extension 821 shields the seventh conductive portion 79 from the data line Da, and the first conductive portion 61 from the data line Da. The first extension 821 can shield the first conductive portion 61 from noise from the data line Da, thereby improving the stability of the gate voltage of the driving transistor. The orthographic projection of the second extension 822 on the substrate can be located between the orthographic projections of adjacent data lines Da on the substrate, meaning that the orthographic projections of the second extension 822 on the substrate do not overlap with the orthographic projections of the data line Da on the substrate. This configuration can reduce the parasitic capacitance of the data line Da, thereby improving the efficiency of writing data signals to the data line Da.

As shown in Figure 59, the orthographic projection of the electrode portion on the base substrate is located between the orthographic projections of two adjacent data lines Da on the base substrate. On the one hand, this arrangement can prevent the data lines Da from affecting the flatness of the electrode portion, and on the other hand, this arrangement can reduce the noise impact of the data lines Da on the electrode portion. The display panel may further include a pixel definition layer located on the side of the electrode layer facing away from the base substrate, wherein a pixel opening for forming a light-emitting unit is formed on the pixel definition layer, wherein the orthographic projection of the first electrode portion R on the base substrate coincides with the orthographic projection of the corresponding pixel opening on the pixel definition layer on the base substrate, the orthographic projection of the second electrode portion B on the base substrate coincides with the orthographic projection of the corresponding pixel opening on the pixel definition layer on the base substrate, and the orthographic projection of the third electrode portion G on the base substrate coincides with the orthographic projection of the corresponding pixel opening on the pixel definition layer on the base substrate.
