Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to display technology, and more particularly to an array substrate and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays are currently a hot topic in flat panel display research. Unlike thin-film transistor-liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs), which use a stable voltage to control brightness, OLEDs are driven by a driving current that needs to be kept constant to control brightness. An OLED display panel includes multiple pixel units configured with pixel driving circuits arranged in multiple rows and columns. Each pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor with 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 selected row of a pixel unit is turned on, a switching transistor connected to the driving transistor is turned on, and a data voltage is applied from the data line through the switching transistor to the driving transistor, causing the driving transistor to output a current corresponding to the data voltage to the OLED device. The OLED device is then driven to emit light at a corresponding brightness. Summary of the Invention

[0103] Figure 3 This is a timing diagram illustrating the operation of a pixel driving circuit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 2A , Figure 2B as well as Figure 3 During one frame of an image, the operation of the pixel driving circuit includes a first stage t1, a second stage t2, a third stage t3, a fourth stage t4, and a fifth stage t5.

[0104] In the first stage t1, a turn-on control signal is provided to the gate of the first reset transistor T1 via a corresponding first control signal line among the plurality of first control signal lines SL1, turning on the first reset transistor T1. This allows the reset signal from the first reset signal line Vint1 to be transmitted from the first electrode of the first reset transistor T1 to the second electrode of the first reset transistor T1, and then to the third capacitor electrode Ce3 and the gate of the driving transistor T3. Node N1 (the gate of the driving transistor T3) is reset. The turn-on control signal is also provided to the gate of the compensation transistor T2 via a corresponding first control signal line among the plurality of first control signal lines SL1, turning on the compensation transistor T2. The turn-on control signal is provided to the gate of the second reset transistor T7 via a corresponding second control signal line among the plurality of second control signal lines SL2, turning on the second reset transistor T7. This allows the reset signal from the corresponding first reset signal line among the plurality of first reset signal lines Vint1 to be transmitted from the first electrode of the second reset transistor T7 to the second electrode of the second reset transistor T7, and then to the anode of the light-emitting element LE. Node N4 (the anode of the light-emitting element LE) is reset. The cutoff control signal is provided to the gate of the light-emitting control transistor T5 through each of the multiple light-emitting control signal lines em, thereby turning off the light-emitting control transistor T5. The cutoff control signal is provided to the gate of the third reset transistor T6 through the corresponding third control signal line SL3, thereby turning off the third reset transistor T6. The cutoff gate signal is provided to the gate of the data writing transistor T4 through the corresponding gate line GL, thereby turning off the data writing transistor T4. Figure 4A The current path in a pixel driving circuit at stage t1 of an image frame is shown in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4A The shaded arrow in the diagram represents the current at stage t1.

[0105] In the second stage t2, a turn-on control signal is provided to the gate of the first reset transistor T1 via a corresponding first control signal line among the plurality of first control signal lines SL1, to turn on the first reset transistor T1. It is also provided to the gate of the compensation transistor T2 via a corresponding first control signal line among the plurality of first control signal lines SL1, to turn on the compensation transistor T2. A turn-on control signal is provided to the gate of the second reset transistor T7 via a corresponding second control signal line among the plurality of second control signal lines SL2, to turn on the second reset transistor T7. A turn-on control signal is provided to the gate of the third reset transistor T6 via a corresponding third control signal line among the plurality of third control signal lines SL3, to turn on the third reset transistor T6. This allows 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 further to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3, the second electrode of the light-emitting control transistor T5, and the second electrode of the compensation transistor T2. 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 the respective third reset signal line in the plurality of third reset signal lines Vint3 has a high voltage level (e.g., 6V) to ensure that Vgs < Vth, thereby ensuring that the drive transistor T3 remains in the on state. Figure 4B The current path in a pixel driving circuit at stage t2 of an image frame is shown in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4B The shaded arrow in the diagram represents the current at stage t2.

[0106] In the third stage t3 (Vth compensation stage), a cutoff control signal is provided to the gate of the third reset transistor T6 through the corresponding third control signal line among the multiple third control signal lines SL3, causing the third reset transistor T6 to be turned off. In the third stage t3, the first reset transistor T1, compensation transistor T2, drive transistor T3, second reset transistor T7, and control transistor T8 remain on. A first reset signal is provided through the corresponding first reset signal line among the multiple first reset signal lines Vint1. The first reset signal passes through the second reset transistor T7 and drive transistor T3, charging node N2 (the first electrode of drive transistor T3). When node N2 is charged to Vgs = Vth, drive transistor T3 is turned off. Vgs = VN1 - VN2, where VN1 is the voltage level of node N1, and VN2 is the voltage level of 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, which means VN2 = Vint1 - Vth. Since the compensation transistor T2 is turned on in the third stage t3, VN3 = VN2 = VN1 - Vth, where VN3 is the voltage level of node N3. Figure 4C The current path in the pixel driving circuit at stage t3 of the image frame is shown in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4C The shaded arrow in the figure represents the current at stage t3.

[0107] In stage t4 (data write stage), a cutoff control signal is provided to the gate of the first reset transistor T1 via a corresponding first control signal line among the multiple first control signal lines SL1, causing the first reset transistor T1 to turn off. It is also provided to the gate of the compensation transistor T2 via a corresponding first control signal line among the multiple first control signal lines SL1, causing the compensation transistor T2 to turn off. A cutoff control signal is provided to the gate of the second reset transistor T7 via a corresponding second control signal line among the multiple second control signal lines SL2, causing the second reset transistor T7 to turn off. A turn-on gate signal is provided to the gate of the data write transistor T4 via a corresponding gate line among the multiple gate lines GL, causing the data write transistor T4 to turn on, thereby allowing the data signal provided via the data line DL to be transmitted from the first electrode of the data write transistor T4 to the second electrode of the data write transistor T4, and then to node N3. In stage t3, VN1 = the voltage level of the first reset signal provided by the first reset signal line Vint1 (denoted as Vre1). In stage t4, the voltage level of node N3 changes from (Vre1 - Vth) to the voltage level of the data signal Vdata. The change is ΔVN3 = Vdata - Vre1 + Vth. The second capacitor C2 induces voltage coupling at node N1 through ΔVN3. Due to 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 driving transistor T3. Figure 4D The current path in the pixel driving circuit at stage t4 of the image frame is shown in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4D The shaded arrow in the figure represents the current at stage t4.

[0108] In stage t5 (light emission stage), a light emission control signal is provided to the gate of the light emission control transistor T5 through a corresponding light emission control signal line among multiple light emission control signal lines em, causing the light emission control transistor T5 to conduct. This allows the voltage supply signal provided through a corresponding voltage supply line among multiple voltage supply lines Vdd to be transmitted from the first electrode of the light emission control transistor T5 to the second electrode of the light emission control transistor T5, then from the first electrode of the driving transistor T3 to the second electrode of the driving transistor T3, then from the first electrode of the control transistor T8 to the second electrode of the control transistor T8, and finally to the anode of the light-emitting element LE. The light-emitting element is configured to emit light. Figure 4E The current path in the pixel driving circuit at stage t5 of the image frame is shown in some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0156] The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that resistance-capacitance delay occurs in the associated array substrate due to the presence of resistance and parasitic capacitance in the signal lines. This resistance-capacitance delay is particularly significant when the signal transmission distance of the signal lines becomes long. The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that control signals (e.g., gate scan signals) output from the scan circuit to sub-pixel rows farther from the integrated circuit have a longer delay compared to control signals output to sub-pixel rows closer to the integrated circuit. The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that this is at least in part due to the resistance-capacitance delay in the signal lines that transmit signals (e.g., clock signals) from the integrated circuit to the multi-stage scan circuitry.

[0157] The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that, in a related array substrate, the falling edge duration of a signal varies with the signal transmission distance of the signal line. This variation in falling edge duration becomes particularly significant when the signal transmission distance of the signal line becomes longer. The inventors of this disclosure have also discovered that the gate scan signal output from the scan circuit to the sub-pixel farther from the scan circuit has a longer falling edge duration compared to the control signal output to the sub-pixel closer to the scan circuit. When the scan circuit outputs a cutoff gate scan signal, due to the variation in falling edge duration, the voltage of node N1 in the pixel driving circuit farther from the scan circuit is pulled down to a smaller extent compared to the voltage of node N1 in the pixel driving circuit closer to the scan circuit, resulting in poorer display uniformity between sub-pixels farther from and closer to the scan circuit.

[0158] The inventors of this disclosure have surprisingly and unexpectedly found that the array substrate according to this disclosure alleviates the problem of display non-uniformity. The inventors of this disclosure have found that reducing the parasitic capacitance between the corresponding gate lines and the N1 node successfully eliminates the problem of display non-uniformity. Figure 9 It is shown Figure 5A or Figure 8A The diagram depicts the layout of corresponding gate lines in the array substrate relative to the first node connection lines. (Refer to...) Figure 9 The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that reducing the parasitic capacitance between the corresponding gate line in the plurality of gate lines GL and the first node connection line Cln1 can successfully improve the problem of display non-uniformity.

[0159] Reference Figure 9In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the first node connection line Cln1 on the substrate are substantially non-overlapping (e.g., at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or completely non-overlapping). This can minimize the parasitic capacitance between the corresponding gate line in the plurality of gate lines GL and the first node connection line Cln1. The first node connection line Cln1 at least partially corresponds to node N1.

[0160] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the first node connection line Cln1 on the substrate are separated by the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate. Optionally, the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate is substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate (e.g., at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or completely non-overlapping), and substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projection of the first node connection line Cln1 on the substrate (e.g., at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or completely non-overlapping). By separating the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate from the orthographic projection of the first node connection line Cln1 on the substrate by the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1, the parasitic capacitance (e.g., lateral parasitic capacitance) between the corresponding gate line and the node N1 in the plurality of gate lines GL can be further minimized.

[0161] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the third capacitor electrode Ce3 of the second capacitor C2 on the substrate are separated by the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate. Optionally, the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate is substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the 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 substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projection of the third capacitor electrode Ce3 of the second capacitor C2 on the 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 this disclosure with related array substrates, the parasitic capacitance between the corresponding gate line and node N1 is 1.33f in the array substrate according to this disclosure and 2.72f in the related array substrate. In the related array substrate, the orthographic projection of the third capacitor electrode Ce3 onto the substrate separates the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 onto the substrate from the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line onto the substrate (making node N1 closer to the corresponding gate line). The voltage difference between the first nodes in the pixel driving circuit located further away from the scanning circuit and the pixel driving circuit located closer to the scanning circuit is 0.08V in the array substrate according to this disclosure, while it is 0.16V in the related array substrate. In the array substrate according to this disclosure, 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 this disclosure have found that minimizing the parasitic capacitance between the first reset transistor T1 and the corresponding gate line further improves the problem of display non-uniformity.

[0164] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate is substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projection of the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 on the substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlap, at least 90% non-overlap, at least 95% non-overlap, at least 99% non-overlap, or completely non-overlap). Optionally, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate is substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projection of the active layer ACT1 and the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 on the substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlap, at least 90% non-overlap, at least 95% non-overlap, at least 99% non-overlap, or completely non-overlap). Optionally, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate is substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projections of the first electrode S1, the active layer ACT1, and the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 on the substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlap, at least 90% non-overlap, at least 95% non-overlap, at least 99% non-overlap, or completely non-overlap).

[0165] In some embodiments, the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 intersects with the second capacitor electrode Ce2. Optionally, the orthographic projection of the second electrode D1 of the first reset transistor T1 onto the substrate partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 onto the substrate.

[0166] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate are separated by the orthographic projections of the corresponding light-emitting control signal lines among the plurality of light-emitting control signal lines em on the substrate. Optionally, the orthographic projections of each of the plurality of light-emitting control signal lines em on the substrate are substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projections of the corresponding gate lines on the substrate (e.g., at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or completely non-overlapping), and substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projections of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate (e.g., at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or completely non-overlapping).

[0167] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate are separated by the orthographic projections of the corresponding first control signal lines among the plurality of first control signal lines SL1 on the substrate. Optionally, the orthographic projections of each of the plurality of first control signal lines SL1 on the substrate are substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projections of the corresponding gate line on the substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlap, at least 90% non-overlap, at least 95% non-overlap, at least 99% non-overlap, or completely non-overlapping), and substantially non-overlapping with the orthographic projections of the second capacitor electrode Ce2 of the first capacitor C1 on the substrate (e.g., at least 80% non-overlap, at least 90% non-overlap, at least 95% non-overlap, at least 99% non-overlap, or completely non-overlapping).

[0168] As previously combined Figure 7C In some embodiments discussed, the array substrate includes a plurality of second capacitor electrode lines Ce2L, which serve as part of an interconnect 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 of a pixel driving circuit connected together in the same row.

[0169] Figure 10 It is shown Figure 5A or Figure 8A A schematic diagram depicting the layout of the corresponding second capacitor electrode lines relative to the second node connection lines in the array substrate. (Refer to...) Figure 10 and Figure 6BThe connecting line CL, which connects the two adjacent second capacitor electrodes of two adjacent pixel driving circuits in the same row, separates the second electrode D5 of the light-emitting control transistor T5 from the second electrode D6 of the third reset transistor T6, and also separates the second electrode D5 of the light-emitting control transistor T5 from the first electrode S3 of the driving transistor T3. Because each second capacitor electrode line is located in the first gate metal layer, the second node connecting line Cln2 cannot be placed in the first gate metal layer.

[0170] In some embodiments, each of the second capacitor electrode lines 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 a third via v3, to the first electrode S3 of the driving transistor T3 through a fourth via v4, and to the second electrode D6 of the third reset transistor T6 through a 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. In another example, the fifth via v5 extends through the passivation layer PVX and the second interlayer dielectric layer ILD2.

Optionally, the orthographic projection of the second node connection line Cln2 on the substrate partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the corresponding second capacitor electrode line on the substrate.
