Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0050] In the drawings, the size of one or more components, the thickness of a layer, or an area is sometimes exaggerated for the sake of clarity. Therefore, one embodiment of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to the size, and the shape and size of each component in the drawings do not reflect the true proportion. In addition, the drawings schematically show ideal examples, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0051] The ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", and "third" in the present disclosure are provided to avoid confusion of constituent elements, rather than to limit the quantity. The "plurality" in the present disclosure includes two and more than two.

This is only for the convenience of describing the present specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the constituent elements is appropriately changed according to the direction in which the constituent elements are described. Therefore, it is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification, and can be appropriately replaced according to the situation.
[0053] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate, or the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the circumstances.
[0054] In the present disclosure, a transistor refers to an element including at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode.

[0055] In the present disclosure, the first electrode may be a drain electrode and the second electrode may be a source electrode, or the first electrode may be a source electrode and the second electrode may be a drain electrode. In the case of using transistors with opposite polarities or when the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" may be interchanged.
[0056] In the present disclosure, "electrical connection" includes the case where components are connected together through an element having some electrical function. There is no particular limitation on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it can transmit electrical signals between connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having one or more functions.
[0057] In the present disclosure, "parallel" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and therefore, a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5° may be included. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and therefore, a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95° may be included.

The peripheral area 300 may include a binding area 200 located on one side of the display area 100 and a frame area located on the other side of the display area 100. For example, the binding area 200 may be a lower frame of the display substrate, and the frame area may include an upper frame, a left frame, and a right frame of the display substrate.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the display area 100 may include at least a plurality of scan signal lines (S1 to Sm) and a plurality of data signal lines (D1 to Dn).

For example, the binding area 200 may be symmetrical along the center line O. For example, the frame area may be symmetrical along the center line O. For example, the display substrate may be symmetrical along the center line O.

[0070] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the arrangement of a display motherboard including a plurality of display substrates. Figure 3 As shown, the display motherboard may include a plurality of substrate regions 400 arranged in a periodic and regular manner and a cutting region 500 located outside the substrate region 400. The substrate region 400 includes at least a display substrate, and a first cutting path 501 and a second cutting path 502 may be provided in the cutting region 500. After all the film layers of the display motherboard are prepared, the cutting equipment may perform rough cutting and fine cutting along the first cutting path 501 and the second cutting path 502, respectively, and the fine cutting may also be referred to as module cutting.
[0071] In some possible exemplary embodiments, for a display motherboard, a cutting process may be first performed along the EAC (Even After Cell, cutting after evaporation) cutting line, that is, a rough cutting may be performed to cut the display motherboard into multiple intermediate display substrates (for example, an intermediate display substrate may include a substrate area, a first cutting area, and a second cutting area), and then, each intermediate display substrate may be subjected to a lighting test and an aging stage. After the test and aging stages are completed, the intermediate display substrate may be cut along the module (Module, MDL) cutting line, that is, a fine cutting may be performed, and then, a circuit board may be bound to the intermediate display substrate. In one example, the intermediate display substrate that has completed the circuit board binding may be edge cut to obtain a display substrate.
[0072] In some implementations, multiple tests are required during the preparation process of the display substrate, one of the important tests is the cell test (CT) light-on, which can also be called ET light-on test. ET light-on test is to input a test signal to the display substrate before the display substrate is bound to the circuit board, so that its sub-pixels show color, and check whether each sub-pixel is good through a defect detection device to confirm whether the display substrate has defects. Since the prepared light-emitting device has unstable interface (interface not stable) and other conditions, another important process for the display substrate is the aging process, which can also be called the aging stage. It is a necessary process before the display device is shipped. By lighting the light-emitting device with a certain current for a period of time, the interface instability can be aged out, the brightness attenuation of the light-emitting device can be reduced, and the life of the light-emitting device can be increased.
[0073] During the aging stage, the detection current will pass through the source-drain metal layer and the gate metal layer. Since the test current of the first power supply voltage (VDD) and the second power supply voltage (VSS) of the medium and large-sized display substrate is relatively large, when the large current flows through the gate metal layer with a large resistance, since the material of the gate metal layer has a high resistance, the material of the gate metal layer is usually molybdenum, and a high heat is generated at the gate metal layer of the display substrate, thereby causing burning loss to the display substrate.
[0074] The present disclosure provides a display substrate, comprising:
[0075] A substrate, comprising a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, wherein the peripheral area comprises a binding area located at one side of the display area;
[0076] A plurality of sub-pixels are located in the display area;
[0077] a plurality of power pins, located in the binding area and electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels, the plurality of power pins being configured to transmit power signals to the plurality of sub-pixels;
[0078] A plurality of power test connection lines are located on a side of the plurality of power pins away from the display area and connected to the plurality of power pins. The material of at least one of the plurality of power test connection lines includes at least one of titanium and aluminum.
[0079] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the material of at least one of the multiple power test connection lines to include at least one of titanium and aluminum, since titanium and aluminum have lower resistance, it is possible to avoid generating more heat during the test of the power pin and avoid burning the display substrate.
[0080] Figure 4A FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of an intermediate display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4A As shown, only one substrate area 400 is illustrated. The substrate area 400 may include a display substrate. The display substrate may include a substrate. The substrate includes a display area 100 and a peripheral area 300 surrounding the display area 100. The peripheral area 300 may include a binding area 200 located on one side of the display area 100. The cutting area 500 may be located outside the substrate area 400. For example, the cutting area 500 may include a first cutting area 50a located on the side of the binding area 200 away from the display area 100. The embodiment of the present disclosure omits illustrating the cutting areas on the other sides of the substrate area. The intermediate display substrate is a structure before cutting during the preparation process of the display substrate. After completing the lighting detection and aging procedures, the first cutting area 50a of the intermediate display substrate may be cut off along the cutting line L1 to obtain the display substrate, as shown in FIG. Figure 4B shown.
[0081] The display substrate can be a flexible substrate or a rigid substrate.

[0100] In some exemplary embodiments, the first power pin 111 and the second power pin 112 may both be located in the source-drain metal layer. For example, the first power pin 111 and the second power pin 112 may both be a double-layer stacked structure, for example, the first power pin 111 and the second power pin 112 may both be a double-layer stacked structure of the first source-drain metal layer and the second source-drain metal layer. Since the material of the source-drain metal layer has a relatively small resistance, for example, the source-drain metal layer adopts a titanium-aluminum-titanium stacked structure, and since the test current of the first power supply voltage (VDD) and the second power supply voltage (VSS) of the display substrate of medium and large sizes is relatively large, when a large current flows through the source-drain metal layer with a relatively small resistance, due to the low resistance, the heat generated at the first power pin and the second power pin can be reduced, and the risk of burning the display substrate can be avoided.

The protective layer is farther away from the substrate 11 than the second flat layer 62. The orthographic projection of the protective layer on the plane where the substrate 11 is located includes the orthographic projection of the plurality of binding pin groups 30 on the plane where the substrate 11 is located.
