[0080] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of various exemplary embodiments. However, it is apparent that various exemplary embodiments may be implemented without these specific details or with one or more equivalent arrangements. In other cases, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to avoid making various exemplary embodiments unnecessarily obscure. In addition, various exemplary embodiments may be different, but not necessarily exclusive. For example, the specific shape, configuration, and characteristics of an exemplary embodiment may be used or implemented in another exemplary embodiment without departing from the inventive concept.
[0081] In the accompanying drawings, the size and relative size of the elements may be exaggerated for the purpose of clarity and / or description. Thus, the size and relative size of the individual elements are not necessarily limited to the size and relative size shown in the drawings. When the exemplary embodiments may be implemented differently, the specific process sequence may be performed differently from the described sequence. For example, two processes described in succession may be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to the described sequence. In addition, the same reference numerals represent the same elements.
[0082] When an element is described as "on" another element, "connected to" another element or "coupled to" another element, the element may be directly on another element, directly connected to another element or directly coupled to another element, or there may be an intermediate element. However, when an element is described as "directly on" another element, "directly connected to" another element or "directly coupled to" another element, there is no intermediate element. Other terms and / or expressions used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a similar manner, for example, "between..." versus "directly between...", "adjacent" versus "directly adjacent" or "on..." versus "directly on...", etc. In addition, the term "connection" may refer to physical connection, electrical connection, communication connection and / or fluid connection. In addition, the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis are not limited to the three axes of the rectangular coordinate system, and can be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis may be perpendicular to each other, or may represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. For the purpose of this disclosure, "at least one of X, Y, and Z" and "at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z" may be interpreted as only X, only Y, only Z, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and 1 such as XYZ, XY, YZ, and XZ. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the listed associated items.
[0083] It should be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe different elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. For example, without departing from the scope of the exemplary embodiment, a first element may be named a second element, and similarly, a second element may be named a first element.
[0084] Figure 1 The planar distribution diagram of the light emitting devices in the display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 2 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 3 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a stacked light emitting device in a display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0085] Combined with reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The display substrate includes a base substrate 100 and a driving circuit layer 200 and a light-emitting device layer 300 located on the base substrate 100. The driving circuit layer 200 includes a plurality of pixel driving circuits, and the pixel driving circuit may include a plurality of transistors TFT and at least one storage capacitor. The light-emitting device layer 300 is located on a side of the driving circuit layer 200 away from the base substrate 100, and the light-emitting device layer 300 includes a plurality of light-emitting devices 310 distributed at intervals, and the plurality of light-emitting devices 310 are electrically connected to the plurality of pixel driving circuits, respectively, and independently emit light under the drive of the plurality of pixel driving circuits to display.
[0086] Figure 1 A method of arranging a plurality of light emitting devices 310 is illustrated in FIG. 1 . According to actual display requirements, the plurality of light emitting devices 310 may also be arranged in other ways, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0087] Combined with reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Among the plurality of light-emitting devices 310, at least one light-emitting device 310 is a stacked light-emitting device 400, and the stacked light-emitting device 400 includes a first electrode 410, a first light-emitting unit 420 located on a side of the first electrode 410 away from the substrate 100, a second electrode 430 located on a side of the first light-emitting unit 420 away from the substrate 100, a second light-emitting unit 440 located on a side of the second electrode 430 away from the substrate 100, and a third electrode 450 located on a side of the second light-emitting unit 440 away from the substrate 100. The first electrode 410 is electrically connected to at least one transistor TFT, the second electrode 430 is electrically connected to at least one transistor TFT, and the transistor TFT electrically connected to the first electrode 410 and the transistor TFT electrically connected to the second electrode 430 are different.
[0088] With such a configuration, the pixel driving circuit can control the potential of the first electrode 410 and the second electrode 430 respectively, so that the stacked light-emitting device 400 can realize the switching between a single-layer device and a double-layer device. In some cases, such as when the luminous brightness is low, the stacked device can use a single-layer device to emit light (one of the first light-emitting unit 420 and the second light-emitting unit 440 emits light), thereby reducing power consumption. In addition, when only a single-layer device is used to emit light, the light-emitting current is larger, thereby effectively improving the crosstalk problem, thereby improving the display effect under low grayscale display images. In some cases, such as when the luminous brightness is high, the stacked device can use a double-layer device to emit light (both the first light-emitting unit 420 and the second light-emitting unit 440 emit light), thereby facilitating the realization of a higher luminous brightness, thereby improving the display contrast of the display substrate.
[0089] According to some exemplary embodiments, the first light emitting unit 420 may include a first hole transport layer HTL1 located on the first electrode 410, a first light emitting layer EML1 located on a side of the first hole transport layer HTL1 away from the first electrode 410, and a first charge generation layer CGL1 located on a side of the first light emitting layer EML1 away from the first electrode 410. Of course, according to actual needs, the first light emitting unit 420 may also include other functional film layers.
[0090] According to some exemplary embodiments, the second light emitting unit 440 may include a second charge generation layer CGL2 located on the second electrode 430, a second light emitting layer EML2 located on a side of the second charge generation layer CGL2 away from the second electrode 430, and a first electron transport layer ETL1 located on a side of the second light emitting layer EML2 away from the second electrode 430. Of course, according to actual needs, the second light emitting unit 440 may also include other functional film layers.
[0091] According to some exemplary embodiments, the material of the first electrode 410 may include a conductive metal oxide material. For example, the material of the first electrode 410 includes indium tin oxide.
[0092] According to some exemplary embodiments, the material of the third electrode 450 may include a metal material, for example, the material of the third electrode 450 includes magnesium and silver.
[0093] According to some exemplary embodiments, the material of the second electrode 430 may include at least one of a metal material and a conductive metal oxide material. For example, the material of the second electrode 430 includes indium tin oxide, or the material of the second electrode 430 includes magnesium and silver. The material of the second electrode 430 may be consistent with the material of the first electrode 410 or the third electrode 450, or the material of the second electrode 430 may also be selected to have both the material properties of the first electrode 410 and the third electrode 450.
[0094] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 1 The plurality of light emitting devices 310 may include a plurality of first light emitting devices 311, a plurality of second light emitting devices 312, and a plurality of third light emitting devices 313. The first light emitting devices 311, the second light emitting devices 312, and the third light emitting devices 313 emit different light colors, for example, the first light emitting device 311 emits red light, the second light emitting device 312 emits green light, and the third light emitting device 313 emits blue light.
[0095] Figure 4 The planar distribution diagram of the light emitting devices in the display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0096] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the first light emitting device 311, the second light emitting device 312 and the third light emitting device 313 all include a stacked light emitting device 400. In this way, when displaying, the plurality of first light emitting devices 311, the plurality of second light emitting devices 312 and the plurality of third light emitting devices 313 can be independently controlled to display using a single-layer device or a double-layer device according to the image to be displayed.
[0097] Figure 5 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 6 The planar distribution diagram of the light emitting devices in the display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0098] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , at least one of the first light emitting device 311, the second light emitting device 312 and the third light emitting device 313 includes a stacked light emitting device 400, and at least one of the first light emitting device 311, the second light emitting device 312 and the third light emitting device 313 includes a single-layer light emitting device 500. According to the performance difference of different light emitting devices 310, only a part of the light emitting devices 310 can be set as the stacked light emitting device 400, and the other part of the light emitting devices 310 can be set as the single-layer light emitting device 500. In this way, when displaying, according to the image to be displayed, the multiple stacked light emitting devices 400 can be independently controlled to display using a single-layer device or a double-layer device, and the multiple single-layer light emitting devices 500 are always displayed as single-layer devices.
[0099] Reference Figure 5 The single-layer light-emitting device 500 may include a fourth electrode 510, a third light-emitting unit 520 located on a side of the fourth electrode 510 away from the substrate 100, and a fifth electrode 530 located on a side of the third light-emitting unit 520 away from the substrate 100, and the fourth electrode 510 is electrically connected to at least one transistor TFT.
[0100] For example, the third light emitting unit 520 may include a second hole transport layer HTL2 on the fourth electrode 510 , a third light emitting layer EML3 on a side of the second hole transport layer HTL2 away from the fourth electrode 510 , and a second electron transport layer ETL2 on a side of the third light emitting layer EML3 away from the fourth electrode 510 .
[0101] For example, the fourth electrode 510 of the single-layer light-emitting device 500 may be located at the same layer as the first electrode 410 of the stacked light-emitting device 400 .
[0102] For example, the fifth electrode 530 of the single-layer light-emitting device 500 may be located at the same layer as the third electrode 450 of the stacked light-emitting device 400, and a plurality of fifth electrodes 530 and a plurality of third electrodes 450 may be connected into an integrated structure.
[0103] For example, some functional layers in the third light-emitting unit 520 of the single-layer light-emitting device 500 can be located on the same layer as some functional layers in the first light-emitting unit 420 and the second light-emitting unit 440 of the stacked light-emitting device 400. For example, the first hole transport layer HTL1 and the second hole transport layer HTL2 can be located on the same layer, and the first electron transport layer ETL1 and the second electron transport layer ETL2 can be located on the same layer.
[0104] It should be noted that being located in the same layer should be understood as two (or more) structures formed by the same deposition process and patterned by the same patterning process, and their materials may be the same or different.
[0105] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the first light emitting device 311 includes a single-layer light emitting device 500, the second light emitting device 312 includes a single-layer light emitting device 500, and the third light emitting device 313 includes a stacked light emitting device 400. That is, only the blue light emitting device is set as the stacked light emitting device 400. The blue light emitting device has a low luminous efficiency. By setting it as the stacked light emitting device 400, the luminous efficiency of the blue light emitting device can be increased. The green light emitting device and the red light emitting device have a high luminous efficiency, and they can still be set as the single-layer light emitting device 500, which is conducive to reducing the power consumption of the display substrate.
[0106] Figure 7 The planar distribution diagram of the light emitting devices in the display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0107] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the first light emitting device 311 includes a stacked light emitting device 400, the second light emitting device 312 includes a stacked light emitting device 400, and the third light emitting device 313 includes a single-layer light emitting device 500. That is, the blue light emitting device is set as the single-layer light emitting device 500, and the red light emitting device and the green light emitting device are set as the stacked light emitting device 400.
[0108] Of course, according to actual display requirements, part of the first light-emitting device 311, the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313 can be set as the stacked light-emitting device 400, and the other part can be set as the single-layer light-emitting device 500 in other ways.
[0109] Figure 8A-8E A plan view schematically shows a second electrode of a display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0110] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference Figure 2 and Fig. 8A The display substrate further includes a pixel defining layer PDL, which is located between the first electrode 410 and the first light emitting unit 420. The pixel defining layer PDL includes a plurality of openings KK, which respectively expose a portion of the plurality of first electrodes 410, and the first light emitting unit 420 contacts the first electrode 410 through the openings KK. The orthographic projection of a second electrode 430 on the base substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of an opening KK on the base substrate 100, and the second electrode 430 is arranged to fully cover the area where the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL is located.
[0111] It should be noted that, in the manner in which the second electrode 430 is fully covered in the area where the opening KK of the pixel definition layer PDL is located, the plurality of second electrodes 430 in the plurality of stacked light-emitting devices 400 are arranged at intervals, and the plurality of second electrodes 430 are respectively arranged to cover the plurality of openings KK.
[0112] It should be noted that in Figures 8A-8E In FIG. 4 , a bold black outline is used to illustrate the edge of the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL, so as to more clearly illustrate the projection relationship between the second electrode 430 and the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL.
[0113] In addition, since the process of forming the second electrode 430 may have a certain degree of fluctuation, it is difficult for the second electrode 430 to be completely formed within the area where the opening KK of the pixel definition layer PDL is located. In other words, a portion of the second electrode 430 is located outside the area where the opening KK of the pixel definition layer PDL is located. Figure 2 As shown, when the second electrode 430 is disposed to fully cover the area where the opening KK of the pixel definition layer PDL is located, the edge of the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 on the base substrate 100 surrounds the outer side of the orthographic projection of the opening KK on the base substrate 100. Figure 8A-8E In order to more clearly illustrate the projection relationship between the second electrode 430 and the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL, only the portion of the second electrode 430 located in the opening KK region of the pixel defining layer PDL is illustrated.
[0114] Fig. 9 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0115] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference Figure 8B , Figure 8C , Fig.8D , Fig. 8E and Fig. 9 , the orthographic projection of a second electrode 430 on the base substrate 100 partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of an opening KK on the base substrate 100, and the second electrode 430 only covers a portion of the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL, so that the problem of blocking light and reducing light extraction efficiency due to the provision of the second electrode 430 can be effectively avoided. In addition, referring to Fig. 9 In the area not covered by the second electrode 430, a portion of the first charge generation layer CGL1 in the first light emitting unit 420 is in direct contact with the second charge generation layer CGL2 in the second light emitting unit 440, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency when using a stacked device for display.
[0116] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference Figure 8B and Fig. 9 , the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 on the base substrate is annular, and the outer edge of the second electrode 430 on the base substrate surrounds the outer side of the edge of the orthographic projection of the opening KK on the base substrate, and the inner edge of the second electrode 430 on the base substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the opening KK on the base substrate. In other words, the overlapping portion of the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the opening KK on the base substrate is annular, and the second electrode 430 only covers the edge area of the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL.
[0117] Fig.10 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0118] According to some exemplary embodiments, in combination with reference Figure 8C , Fig.8D and Fig.10 , a positive projection of a second electrode 430 on the base substrate falls within the positive projection of at least one opening KK on the base substrate, the second electrode 430 only covers a portion of the interior of the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL, and the edge area of the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL is not covered by the second electrode 430.
[0119] For example, refer to Figure 8C The shape of the second electrode 430 (referring to the shape of the orthographic projection on the substrate) may be consistent with the shape of the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL, and the edge of the second electrode 430 may be extended and arranged in the opening KK along the edge of the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL. Exemplarily, the shape of the opening KK is a rounded rectangle, and the shape of the second electrode 430 located in the opening KK is also a rounded rectangle.
[0120] For example, refer to Fig.8DThe shape of the second electrode 430 may be different from the shape of the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL. For example, when the shape of the opening KK is a rectangle or other polygon, the shape of the second electrode 430 may be a circle.
[0121] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Fig. 8E The orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 on the substrate covers a portion of the edge of the orthographic projection of the opening KK on the substrate. The orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 on the substrate only covers a portion of the orthographic projection of the opening KK on the substrate that is located in a specific direction. For example, Fig. 8E In FIG. 4 , the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 on the substrate covers the right half of the orthographic projection of the opening KK on the substrate.
[0122] Of course, the position and coverage area ratio of the second electrode 430 covering the opening KK can be set according to actual process requirements, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.
[0123] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The pixel defining layer PDL includes a first via hole V01, which is spaced apart from the opening KK. The array substrate also includes a second electrode lead 431, which is connected to the second electrode 430 as an integrated structure. The second electrode lead 431 is electrically connected to the transistor TFT of the pixel driving circuit through the first via hole V01.
[0124] The "integrated structure" in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to a structure in which two (or more) structures are formed by the same deposition process and patterned by the same composition process to form a structure connected to each other, and their materials may be the same or different.
[0125] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Fig.10 When the second electrode 430 is located in the opening KK of the pixel definition layer PDL, the second electrode lead 431 needs to extend into the opening KK to be connected to the second electrode 430 .
[0126] It should be noted that the second electrode 430 and the second electrode lead 431 are formed by the same deposition process and patterning process. In actual products, there is no obvious dividing line between the second electrode 430 and the second electrode lead 431, but the width of the second electrode lead 431 (the dimension perpendicular to its extension direction) is smaller than the dimension of the second electrode 430 (the side length of the second electrode 430 or the diameter of the second electrode 430). For example, the width of the second electrode lead 431 is less than or equal to one-half of the dimension of the second electrode 430. It should be considered that the location where the dimension suddenly changes is the boundary between the second electrode 430 and the second electrode lead 431. Figure 2In the cross-sectional view, the first electrode lead 431 and the second electrode lead 431 are schematically distinguished by the density of the filling pattern.
[0127] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The driving circuit layer 200 may include a buffer layer Buf located on the base substrate 100, an active layer ACT located on a side of the buffer layer Buf away from the base substrate 100, a first gate insulating layer GI1 located on a side of the active layer ACT away from the base substrate 100, a first gate metal layer Gatel located on a side of the first gate insulating layer GI1 away from the base substrate 100, a second gate insulating layer GI2 located on a side of the first gate metal layer Gatel away from the base substrate 100, a second gate metal layer located on a side of the second gate insulating layer GI2 away from the base substrate 100, and a The second gate metal layer is located on a side of the third gate insulating layer GI3 away from the substrate substrate 100, the third gate metal layer is located on a side of the third gate insulating layer GI3 away from the substrate substrate 100, the interlayer dielectric layer ILD is located on a side of the third gate metal layer away from the substrate substrate 100, the first source and drain metal layer SD1 is located on a side of the interlayer dielectric layer ILD away from the substrate substrate 100, the first planarization layer PLN1 is located on a side of the first source and drain metal layer SD1 away from the substrate substrate 100, and the second source and drain metal layer SD2 is located on a side of the first planarization layer PLN1 away from the substrate substrate 100.
[0128] Because in Figure 2 The intercepted position does not have the related structures of the second gate metal layer and the third gate metal layer. Figure 2 The second gate metal layer and the third gate metal layer are not shown.
[0129] The pixel driving unit includes a transistor TFT, and the transistor TFT includes an active portion A, a gate G, a source S, and a drain D. The active portion A is located in the active layer ACT, and the active portion A includes a channel portion A1 and two conductive portions A2 connected to both sides of the channel portion A1. The gate G is located in the first gate metal layer Gate1, and the orthographic projection of the gate G on the base substrate 100 covers the orthographic projection of the channel portion A1 on the base substrate 100. The source S and the drain D are located in the first source-drain metal layer SD1, and the source S and the drain D are electrically connected to the two conductive portions A2 respectively.
[0130] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2The display substrate further includes a first transition portion L01 and a second transition portion L02. The first transition portion L01 and the first electrode 410 are located in the same layer. The first transition portion L01 and the first electrode 410 are arranged at intervals. The second electrode lead 431 is electrically connected to the first transition portion L01 through a first via hole V01. The second transition portion L02 is located in the second source-drain metal layer SD2. The first transition portion L01 is electrically connected to the second transition portion L02 through a second via hole V02 located in the second planarization layer PLN2. The second transition portion L02 is then electrically connected to the drain electrode D of the corresponding transistor TFT through a third via hole V03 located in the first planarization layer PLN1. The second electrode lead 431 is electrically connected to the transistor TFT through the first transition portion L01 and the second transition portion L02 in sequence. In this way, the hole depth of a single connection via hole can be reduced, which is conducive to improving the connection reliability between the second electrode lead 431 and the transistor TFT.
[0131] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2 In at least two adjacent stacked light emitting devices 400, the first light emitting unit 420 of one stacked light emitting device 400 is spaced apart from the first light emitting unit 420 of another stacked light emitting device 400, Figure 2 The first light-emitting unit 420 of a stacked light-emitting device 400 is schematically shown, and the first light-emitting unit 420 of another adjacent stacked light-emitting device 400 has the same structure and is arranged at intervals. The orthographic projection of the first via hole V01 on the base substrate 100 is located in the interval area between the orthographic projections of two adjacent first light-emitting units 420 on the base substrate 100. In other words, each layer in the first light-emitting unit 420 is formed by fine metal mask (FMM) evaporation. Multiple first light-emitting units 420 are independently spaced apart, and the interval area of the first light-emitting unit 420 exposes the first via hole V01, so that the second electrode lead 431 can be electrically connected to the transistor TFT of the lower layer through the first via hole V01.
[0132] Fig.11 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0133] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Fig.11 In at least two adjacent stacked light emitting devices 400 , the second light emitting unit 440 of one stacked light emitting device 400 is spaced apart from the second light emitting unit 440 of another stacked light emitting device 400 . Fig.11The second light-emitting unit 440 of a stacked light-emitting device 400 is schematically shown, and the second light-emitting unit 440 of another adjacent stacked light-emitting device 400 has the same structure and is arranged at intervals. That is, each layer in the second light-emitting unit 440 is formed by fine FMM evaporation, and multiple first light-emitting units 420 are independently spaced and distributed, which can effectively avoid the crosstalk problem of adjacent stacked light-emitting devices 400.
[0134] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Fig.11 The third electrodes 450 of the plurality of stacked light-emitting devices 400 are connected to form a third electrode layer 450A of an integrated structure, the third electrode layer 450A has a hollow portion 451, the orthographic projection of the hollow portion 451 on the base substrate 100 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second electrode lead 431 on the base substrate 100, and the third electrode layer 450A is spaced from the second electrode lead 431. The third electrode layer 450A is patterned, and the hollow portion 451 is provided in the third electrode layer 450A to prevent the third electrode 450 and the second electrode 430 from being short-circuited.
[0135] Figure 12A-12C The planar distribution diagram of the light emitting devices in the display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0136] The above-described scheme of setting the first part of the light-emitting device 310 as a stacked light-emitting device 400 and setting the other part of the light-emitting device 310 as a single-layer light-emitting device 500, as well as the scheme of the second electrode 430 fully or partially covering the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL, can be arbitrarily combined according to actual needs, as illustrated below.
[0137] For example, refer to Figure 4The first light emitting device 311, the second light emitting device 312 and the third light emitting device 313 are all stacked light emitting devices 400. The openings KK of the pixel defining layer PDL include a first opening KK1, a second opening KK2 and a third opening KK3. The first opening KK1 serves as a pixel opening KK of the first light emitting device 311, the second opening KK2 serves as a pixel opening KK of the second light emitting device 312, and the third opening KK3 serves as a pixel opening KK of the third light emitting device 313. The second electrodes 430 in the first light-emitting device 311, the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313 only cover a portion of the area inside the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the first light-emitting device 311 on the substrate substrate 100 falls within the orthographic projection of the first opening KK1 on the substrate substrate 100, the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the second light-emitting device 312 on the substrate substrate 100 falls within the orthographic projection of the second opening KK2 on the substrate substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the third light-emitting device 313 on the substrate substrate 100 falls within the orthographic projection of the third opening KK3 on the substrate substrate 100.
[0138] For example, refer to Fig. 12A , the first light-emitting device 311, the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313 are all stacked light-emitting devices 400. The second electrodes 430 in the first light-emitting device 311, the second light-emitting device 312 and the third light-emitting device 313 only cover the edge area of the opening KK of the pixel defining layer PDL. Specifically, the overlapping part of the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the first light-emitting device 311 on the substrate substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the first opening KK1 on the substrate substrate 100 is annular, the overlapping part of the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the second light-emitting device 312 on the substrate substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the second opening KK2 on the substrate substrate 100 is annular, and the overlapping part of the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the third light-emitting device 313 on the substrate substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the third opening KK3 on the substrate substrate 100 is annular.
[0139] For example, refer to Figure 6 The first light emitting device 311 and the second light emitting device 312 are single-layer light emitting devices 500, and the third light emitting device 313 is a stacked light emitting device 400. The orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the third light emitting device 313 on the substrate 100 falls within the orthographic projection of the third opening KK3 on the substrate 100.
[0140] For example, refer to Fig. 12BThe first light emitting device 311 and the second light emitting device 312 are single-layer light emitting devices 500, and the third light emitting device 313 is a stacked light emitting device 400. The overlapped portion of the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the third light emitting device 313 on the substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the third opening KK3 on the substrate 100 is annular.
[0141] For example, refer to Figure 7 , the first light emitting device 311 and the second light emitting device 312 are stacked light emitting devices 400, and the third light emitting device 313 is a single-layer light emitting device 500. The orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the first light emitting device 311 on the substrate 100 falls within the orthographic projection of the first opening KK1 on the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the second light emitting device 312 on the substrate 100 falls within the orthographic projection of the second opening KK2 on the substrate 100.
[0142] For example, refer to Fig. 12C The first light emitting device 311 and the second light emitting device 312 are stacked light emitting devices 400, and the third light emitting device 313 is a single-layer light emitting device 500. The overlapping portion of the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the first light emitting device 311 on the substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the first opening KK1 on the substrate 100 is in a ring shape, and the overlapping portion of the orthographic projection of the second electrode 430 of the second light emitting device 312 on the substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the second opening KK2 on the substrate 100 is in a ring shape.

[0147] In step S12, a plurality of stacked light emitting devices are divided into at least one first stacked light emitting device and at least one second stacked light emitting device according to image information to be displayed.
[0148] For example, a critical brightness value may be set, and the stacked light-emitting devices with a target brightness less than or equal to the critical brightness value may be classified as second stacked light-emitting devices, and the stacked light-emitting devices with a target brightness greater than or equal to the critical brightness value may be classified as first stacked light-emitting devices. For example, the critical brightness value may be 300 nit. Of course, other methods may also be used to classify the first stacked light-emitting devices and the second stacked light-emitting devices, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0149] In step S13, in response to the image information to be displayed, the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit in the first stacked light emitting device both emit light and reach the target brightness, and the first light emitting unit or the second light emitting unit in the second stacked light emitting device emits light and reaches the target brightness.
[0150] For the display substrate, when performing gamma debugging, a gamma debugging is performed once when both the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit emit light to obtain a first gamma curve, and a gamma debugging is performed once when only the first light-emitting unit or the second light-emitting unit emits light to obtain a second gamma curve, and the first gamma curve and the second gamma curve are burned into the driver chip. When displaying, for the first stacked light-emitting device, the driver chip outputs a corresponding data signal according to the first gamma curve, and for the second stacked light-emitting device, the driver chip outputs a corresponding data signal according to the second gamma curve.
