[0002] Organic light emitting diode (OLED) display is one of the hot spots in the field of flat panel display research today.

Each pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor having a gate terminal connected to a gate line in each row and a drain terminal connected to a data line in each column. When the row in which the pixel unit is selected is turned on, the switching transistor connected to the driving transistor is turned on, and the data voltage is applied to the driving transistor from the data line via the switching transistor, so that the driving transistor outputs a current corresponding to the data voltage to the OLED device. The OLED device is driven to emit light of corresponding brightness. Summary of the invention

The conduction control signal is provided to the gate of the second reset transistor T7 through the corresponding second control signal line among the plurality of second control signal lines SL2, so that the second reset transistor T7 is turned on. The conduction control signal is provided to the gate of the third reset transistor T6 through the corresponding third control signal line among the plurality of third control signal lines SL3, so that the third reset transistor T6 is turned on, thereby allowing the reset signal from the corresponding third reset signal line among the plurality of third reset signal lines Vint3 to be transmitted from the first electrode of the third reset transistor T6 to the second electrode of the third reset transistor T6, and then to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3, the second electrode of the light emission control transistor T5, and the second electrode of the compensation transistor T2. The node N2 (the first electrode of the driving transistor T3) is charged with the voltage of the corresponding third reset signal line among the plurality of third reset signal lines Vint3. In some embodiments, the voltage of a corresponding third reset signal line among the plurality of third reset signal lines Vint3 has a high voltage level (eg, 6V) to ensure that Vgs<Vth, thereby ensuring that the driving transistor T3 remains in the on state.

In the third stage t3, the first reset transistor T1, the compensation transistor T2, the driving transistor T3, the second reset transistor T7 and the control transistor T8 remain turned on. The first reset signal is provided through the corresponding first reset signal line among the plurality of first reset signal lines Vint1, and the first reset signal passes through the second reset transistor T7 and the driving transistor T3 to charge the node N2 (the first electrode of the driving transistor T3). When the node N2 is charged to the moment when Vgs=Vth, the driving transistor T3 is cut off. Vgs=VN1-VN2, where VN1 is the voltage level of the node N1, and VN2 is the voltage level of the node N2. In the third stage t3, VN1=the voltage level of the first reset signal provided by the first reset signal line Vint1. Therefore, VN2 = VN1 - Vgs = VN1 - Vth, that is, VN2 = Vint1 - Vth. Since the compensation transistor T2 is turned on in the third phase t3, VN3 = VN2 = VN1 - Vth, where VN3 is the voltage level of the node N3.

The cut-off control signal is provided to the gate of the second reset transistor T7 through the corresponding second control signal line among the plurality of second control signal lines SL2, so that the second reset transistor T7 is cut off. The turn-on gate signal is provided to the gate of the data writing transistor T4 through the corresponding gate line among the plurality of gate lines GL, so that the data writing transistor T4 is turned on, thereby allowing the data signal provided through the data line DL to be transferred from the first electrode of the data writing transistor T4 to the second electrode of the data writing transistor T4, and then to the node N3. In phase t3, VN1=the voltage level of the first reset signal provided by the first reset signal line Vint1 (expressed as Vre1). In phase t4, the voltage level of the node N3 changes from (Vre1-Vth) to the voltage level of the data signal Vdata. The change amount is ΔVN3=Vdata-Vre1+Vth. The second capacitor C2 induces voltage coupling at the node N1 through ΔVN3. Due to the voltage coupling, VN1 changes to (Vre1+ΔVN3)=(Vre1+Vdata-Vre1+Vth)=(Vdata+Vth), where Vdata is the voltage level of the data voltage signal, and Vth is the voltage level of the threshold voltage Th of the PN junction of the driving transistor T3.

[0156] The inventors of the present disclosure have found that resistance-capacitance delay occurs in the relevant array substrate due to the presence of resistance and parasitic capacitance in the signal line. The resistance-capacitance delay is particularly significant when the signal transmission distance of the signal line becomes longer. The inventors of the present disclosure have found that the control signal (e.g., gate scanning signal) output from the scanning circuit to the sub-pixel row far away from the integrated circuit has a longer delay than the control signal output to the sub-pixel row closer to the integrated circuit. The inventors of the present disclosure have found that this is at least partially due to the resistance-capacitance delay in the signal line that transmits the signal (e.g., clock signal) from the integrated circuit to the multi-stage scanning circuit.
[0157] The inventors of the present disclosure have found that, in the relevant array substrate, the duration of the falling edge of the signal varies with the signal transmission distance of the signal line. When the signal transmission distance of the signal line becomes longer, the change in the duration of the falling edge becomes particularly significant. The inventors of the present disclosure have found that the gate scanning signal output from the scanning circuit to the sub-pixel far from the scanning circuit has a longer duration of the falling edge than the control signal output to the sub-pixel closer to the scanning circuit. When the scanning circuit outputs the cut-off gate scanning signal, due to the change in the duration of the falling edge, the voltage of the node N1 in the pixel driving circuit far from the scanning circuit is pulled down to a smaller extent than the voltage of the node N1 in the pixel driving circuit closer to the scanning circuit, resulting in poor display uniformity between the sub-pixel far from the scanning circuit and the sub-pixel closer to the scanning circuit.
[0158] The inventors of the present disclosure have found that surprisingly and unexpectedly, the array substrate according to the present disclosure alleviates the problem of display non-uniformity. The inventors of the present disclosure have found that the reduction of parasitic capacitance between the corresponding gate line and the N1 node can successfully eliminate the problem of display non-uniformity. Fig. 9 It is shown Figure 5A or Fig. 8A Schematic diagram of the layout of the corresponding gate lines in the array substrate relative to the first node connection line depicted in FIG. Fig. 9 The inventors of the present disclosure have found that the reduction of the parasitic capacitance between the corresponding gate lines among the plurality of gate lines GL and the first node connection line Cln1 can successfully improve the problem of display non-uniformity.
[0159] Reference Fig. 9In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate and the orthographic projection of the first node connection line Cln1 on the substrate substrate do not overlap substantially (e.g., at least 80% do not overlap, at least 90% do not overlap, at least 95% do not overlap, at least 99% do not overlap, or do not overlap at all). The parasitic capacitance between the corresponding gate line in the plurality of gate lines GL and the first node connection line Cln1 can be minimized. The first node connection line Cln1 at least partially corresponds to the node N1.
[0160] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate is separated from the orthographic projection of the first node connection line Cln1 on the substrate substrate by the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate. Optionally, the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate (for example, at least 80% does not overlap, at least 90% does not overlap, at least 95% does not overlap, at least 99% does not overlap, or does not overlap at all), and does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first node connection line Cln1 on the substrate substrate (for example, at least 80% does not overlap, at least 90% does not overlap, at least 95% does not overlap, at least 99% does not overlap, or does not overlap at all). By making the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate separate the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate from the orthographic projection of the first node connection line Cln1 on the substrate substrate, the parasitic capacitance (for example, lateral parasitic capacitance) between the corresponding gate line in the plurality of gate lines GL and the node N1 can be further minimized.
[0161] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate is separated from the orthographic projection of the third capacitor electrode Ce3 of the second capacitor C2 on the substrate substrate by the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate. Optionally, the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlapping, at least 90% non-overlapping, at least 95% non-overlapping, at least 99% non-overlapping, or completely non-overlapping), and does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the third capacitor electrode Ce3 of the second capacitor C2 on the substrate substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlapping, at least 90% non-overlapping, at least 95% non-overlapping, at least 99% non-overlapping, or completely non-overlapping).
[0162] Comparing the array substrate according to the present disclosure with the related array substrate, the parasitic capacitance between the corresponding gate line and the node N1 is 1.33f in the array substrate according to the present disclosure and 2.72f in the related array substrate; in the related array substrate, the orthographic projection of the third capacitor electrode Ce3 on the substrate substrate separates the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate from the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate (making the node N1 closer to the corresponding gate line). The voltage difference between the first nodes in the pixel driving circuit far away from the scanning circuit and the pixel driving circuit closer to the scanning circuit is 0.08V in the array substrate according to the present disclosure and 0.16V in the related array substrate. In the array substrate according to the present disclosure, the display non-uniformity is significantly improved.
[0163] In some embodiments, the first node connection line Cln1 is connected to the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 through the second via v2. Because the first reset transistor T1 is connected to the first node connection line Cln1, the inventors of the present disclosure have found that minimizing the parasitic capacitance between the first reset transistor T1 and the corresponding gate line further improves the display unevenness problem.
[0164] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 on the substrate substrate (for example, at least 80% non-overlapping, at least 90% non-overlapping, at least 95% non-overlapping, at least 99% non-overlapping, or completely non-overlapping). Optionally, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the active layer ACT1 and the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 on the substrate substrate (for example, at least 80% non-overlapping, at least 90% non-overlapping, at least 95% non-overlapping, at least 99% non-overlapping, or completely non-overlapping). Optionally, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first electrode S1, the active layer ACT1, and the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 on the substrate substrate (for example, at least 80% non-overlapping, at least 90% non-overlapping, at least 95% non-overlapping, at least 99% non-overlapping, or completely non-overlapping).
[0165] In some embodiments, the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 crosses the second capacitor electrode Ce2. Optionally, the orthographic projection of the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 on the substrate partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate.
[0166] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate is separated from the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate by the orthographic projection of the corresponding light-emitting control signal line among the plurality of light-emitting control signal lines em on the substrate substrate. Optionally, the orthographic projection of each light-emitting control signal line em among the plurality of light-emitting control signal lines em on the substrate substrate does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate (for example, at least 80% does not overlap, at least 90% does not overlap, at least 95% does not overlap, at least 99% does not overlap, or does not overlap at all), and does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate (for example, at least 80% does not overlap, at least 90% does not overlap, at least 95% does not overlap, at least 99% does not overlap, or does not overlap at all).
[0167] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate is separated from the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate by the orthographic projection of the corresponding first control signal line among the plurality of first control signal lines SL1 on the substrate substrate. Optionally, the orthographic projection of each of the plurality of first control signal lines SL1 on the substrate substrate does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate substrate (for example, at least 80% does not overlap, at least 90% does not overlap, at least 95% does not overlap, at least 99% does not overlap, or does not overlap at all), and does not substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate substrate (for example, at least 80% does not overlap, at least 90% does not overlap, at least 95% does not overlap, at least 99% does not overlap, or does not overlap at all).
[0168] As previously combined Figure 7C As discussed, in some embodiments, the array substrate includes a plurality of second capacitor electrode lines Ce2L as part of an interconnected voltage supply network. The plurality of second capacitor electrode lines Ce2L extend in a direction substantially parallel to the second direction DR2. Each of the plurality of second capacitor electrode lines Ce2L includes a second capacitor electrode connected together for a pixel driving circuit in the same row.

Fig.10 and Figure 6B, the connection line CL connecting two adjacent second capacitor electrodes of two adjacent pixel driving circuits in the same row separates the second electrode D5 of the light emission control transistor T5 from the second electrode D6 of the third reset transistor T6, and separates the second electrode D5 of the light emission control transistor T5 from the first electrode S3 of the driving transistor T3. Because each second capacitor electrode line is located at the first gate metal layer, the second node connection line Cln2 cannot be set at the first gate metal layer.
[0170] In some embodiments, each second capacitor electrode line is located in the first gate metal layer, the second electrode D5 of the light emitting control transistor T5 and the first electrode S3 of the driving transistor T3 are located in the first semiconductor material layer, and the second electrode D6 of the third reset transistor T6 is located in the second semiconductor material layer. In some embodiments, in the pixel driving circuit, the second node connection line Cln2 is connected to the second electrode D5 of the light emitting control transistor T5 through the third via v3, connected to the first electrode S3 of the driving transistor T3 through the fourth via v4, and connected to the second electrode D6 of the third reset transistor T6 through the fifth via v5. In one example, the third via v3 extends through the passivation layer PVX, the second interlayer dielectric layer ILD2, the first interlayer dielectric layer ILD1, the insulating layer IN, and the gate insulating layer GI. In another example, the fourth via v4 extends through the passivation layer PVX, the second interlayer dielectric layer ILD2, the first interlayer dielectric layer ILD1, the insulating layer IN, and the gate insulating layer GI.
