[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0041] VR / AR display screens usually use LTPO (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide, Chinese abbreviation: low temperature polycrystalline oxide) array substrates as driving substrates. LTPO array substrates generally use LTPS (Low Temperature Poly-Silicon, Chinese abbreviation: low temperature polycrystalline silicon) and metal oxides, such as IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide, Chinese abbreviation: indium gallium zinc oxide) to make TFT (Thin Film Transistor); LTPS is responsible for driving and metal oxide is responsible for switching. LTPO array substrates have the advantages of higher charge mobility and lower off-state leakage current, which can reduce the overall power consumption of the screen when it is working, achieving the purpose of power saving.

[0042] See also Figure 1 In the prior art, a first thin film transistor 2' and a second thin film transistor 4' are manufactured on a substrate 1', and the first thin film transistor 2' and the second thin film transistor 4' are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, so that a single pixel occupies a larger area, and fewer pixels can be arranged in the same area, which is not conducive to improving the space utilization and resolution of the driving substrate 100'.

[0043] The embodiment of the present application provides a driving substrate 100 and a display panel. The following are detailed descriptions of each. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0044] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a driving substrate 100. Figures 2 to 4 The driving substrate 100 includes a substrate 1, a first thin film transistor 2, a barrier layer 3 and a second thin film transistor 4; the first thin film transistor 2 is arranged on the substrate 1, and includes a first active layer 21 and a first gate 22, and the first gate 22 is located on the side of the first active layer 21 away from the substrate 1; the barrier layer 3 is arranged on the substrate 1 and covers the first thin film transistor 2, the barrier layer 3 is arranged as a stacked multi-layer structure, and the barrier layer 3 at least includes an organic layer 31 located in the middle layer; the second thin film transistor 4 is arranged on the side of the barrier layer 3 away from the substrate 1, the second thin film transistor 4 is electrically connected to the first thin film transistor 2, the second thin film transistor 4 includes a second active layer 41 and a second gate 42, the second gate 42 is located on the side of the second active layer 41 away from the barrier layer 3, and in the thickness direction F1 of the driving substrate 100, the second active layer 41 and the first active layer 21 are overlapped.

[0045] In the embodiment provided in the present application, a first thin film transistor 2 and a second thin film transistor 4 are sequentially stacked on a substrate 1; the first thin film transistor 2 includes a first active layer 21 and a first gate 22, and the first gate 22 is located on a side of the first active layer 21 away from the substrate 1; the second thin film transistor 4 includes a second active layer 41 and a second gate 42, and the second gate 42 is located on a side of the second active layer 41 away from the substrate 1; the second active layer 41 is overlapped with the first active layer 21 in the thickness direction F1 of the driving substrate 100, so that the space occupied by the first thin film transistor 2 and the second thin film transistor 4 is merged, the space occupied by a single pixel is reduced, and the space utilization and resolution of the driving substrate 100 are improved.

Although the inorganic insulating layer 3′ can separate the first thin film transistor 2′ and the second thin film transistor 4′, since the thickness of the inorganic layer 3′ is very thin and the parasitic capacitance between the signals is large, the negative impact of the RCLoading of the driving substrate 100′ is large.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, a barrier layer 3 is arranged between the first thin film transistor 2 and the second thin film transistor 4. Since the barrier layer 3 is arranged as a stacked multi-layer structure and includes at least an organic layer 31 located in the middle layer, the distance between the first thin film transistor 2 and the second thin film transistor 4 can be increased, thereby reducing the capacitance between the signals of the first thin film transistor 2 and the second thin film transistor 4, thereby reducing the negative impact of RC Loading.

[0049] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the driving substrate 100 includes a first thin film transistor a, a second thin film transistor b, a third thin film transistor c and a fourth thin film transistor d; wherein the first thin film transistor a and the fourth thin film transistor d are configured as the first thin film transistor 2 as driving transistors; the second thin film transistor b and the third thin film transistor c are configured as the second thin film transistor 4 as switching transistors. Since the second thin film transistor 4 and the first thin film transistor 2 are stacked, the space occupied by the four thin film transistors is halved, thereby increasing the pixel resolution of the driving substrate 100 to twice the original. The first thin film transistor a is electrically connected to the second thin film transistor b and the third thin film transistor c.

[0050] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 Pixel driving circuit of the driving substrate provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 The gate of the first thin film transistor a is electrically connected to the first node P, the source of the first thin film transistor a is electrically connected to the second node Q, and the drain of the first thin film transistor a is electrically connected to the source of the fourth thin film transistor d; the gate of the second thin film transistor b is connected to the WR signal, the main function of the WR signal is to selectively turn on or off the switch transistor in the pixel circuit, the source of the second thin film transistor b is connected to the data line to input the data signal, and the drain of the second thin film transistor b is electrically connected to the first node P; the gate of the third thin film transistor c is connected to the WR signal, the drain of the third thin film transistor c is connected to the Vini reset signal, and the source of the third thin film transistor c is electrically connected to the second node Q; the gate of the fourth thin film transistor d is connected to the En signal for activating each row of pixels row by row, the source of the fourth thin film transistor d is electrically connected to the drain of the first thin film transistor a, and the drain of the fourth thin film transistor d is connected to the power supply voltage (Vdd) signal; the second node Q is electrically connected to the anode of the OLED, one end of the capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the first node P, and the other end of the capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the second node Q.

At the same time, the first inorganic layer 32 and the second inorganic layer 33 are arranged on both sides of the organic layer 31, which can prevent the ions in the first thin film transistor 2 and the organic layer 31 from diffusing into the film layer of the second thin film transistor 4, thereby avoiding affecting the device electrical properties of the second thin film transistor 4.

[0053] The material of the first inorganic layer 32 includes SiN X Or SiO X The material of the second inorganic layer 33 includes SiN X Or SiO X The material of the first inorganic layer 32 and the material of the second inorganic layer 33 may be the same or different; the film thickness of the first inorganic layer 32 is set to The film thickness of the second inorganic layer 33 is set to
