[0026] To further illustrate the display substrate and display device provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, a detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] To prevent excessive static electricity buildup inside display products from damaging circuitry, related technologies incorporate ESD structures, including circuitry, within the display product. However, such ESD structures cannot completely prevent electrostatic damage caused by ESD during processes such as die bonding.

[0028] Please see Figures 2 to 6 , Figure 17 This disclosure provides a display substrate, including: a substrate 10 and a plurality of pixel driving circuits disposed on the substrate 10 (e.g., located at...). Figure 3 The layout area 40 shown includes a transistor structure TFT); the display substrate also includes a first level signal input layer (e.g., including a power supply layer VDD) and an electrostatic discharge layer 20, at least a portion of which is located on the side of the pixel driving circuit facing the substrate 10, and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is coupled to the first level signal input layer.

[0029] It should be noted that, Figure 2 The diagram also illustrates the shift register unit GOA included in the display substrate, with the red light-emitting element R corresponding to the position of the coupled pixel driving circuit, the green light-emitting element G corresponding to the position of the coupled pixel driving circuit, and the blue light-emitting element B corresponding to the position of the coupled pixel driving circuit.

[0030] For example, the plurality of pixel driving circuits are arrayed on the substrate 10. The plurality of pixel driving circuits are divided into multiple rows of pixel driving circuits and multiple columns of pixel driving circuits. The multiple rows of pixel driving circuits are arranged along a first direction, and each row includes multiple pixel driving circuits arranged along a second direction. The multiple columns of pixel driving circuits are arranged along the second direction, and each column includes multiple pixel driving circuits arranged along the first direction. For example, the first direction intersects with the second direction. For instance, the first direction includes a vertical direction, and the second direction includes a horizontal direction.

[0031] For example, the display substrate further includes a cathode layer VSS, which can be used to transmit negative power signals, but is not limited to this. The display substrate also includes multiple light-emitting elements, which can be of various types. For example, each light-emitting element includes three light-emitting units, which can be selected as red, green, and blue light-emitting units. Each light-emitting element includes a first pin and three second pins. The first pin is coupled to the cathode layer VSS, and the three second pins correspond one-to-one with the three light-emitting units. The second pins are coupled to the corresponding pixel driving circuit and receive driving signals provided by the pixel driving circuit. Each light-emitting unit can independently control its light emission under the drive of the corresponding pixel driving circuit. For example, each light-emitting element includes one light-emitting unit, which can be a red, green, or blue light-emitting unit. This light-emitting element includes a first pin and a second pin. The first pin is coupled to the cathode layer VSS, and the second pin is coupled to the corresponding pixel driving circuit and receives driving signals provided by the pixel driving circuit. The light-emitting unit can independently control its light emission under the drive of the corresponding pixel driving circuit.

[0032] For example, the display substrate further includes a first level signal input layer, which is used to transmit a first level signal with a stable potential.

[0033] For example, the display substrate further includes an electrostatic discharge layer 20, which is made of a high-resistivity material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or amorphous silicon, but is not limited thereto. At least a portion of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is located on the side of the pixel driving circuit facing the substrate 10. The electrostatic discharge layer 20 can be directly coupled or indirectly coupled to the first level signal input layer.

[0034] For example, an ITO conductive film layer is deposited on a substrate 10, the film layer thickness is between 40nm and 100nm, and may include endpoint values. The ITO conductive film layer is then patterned to form the electrostatic discharge film layer.

[0035] As can be seen from the specific structure of the display substrate described above, the display substrate provided in this embodiment includes a first level signal input layer and an electrostatic discharge layer 20. At least a portion of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is located on the side of the pixel driving circuit facing the substrate 10, and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is coupled to the first level signal input layer. This arrangement allows the electrostatic discharge layer 20 to have the same stable first level signal as the first level signal input layer. The electrostatic discharge layer 20 can promptly discharge static electricity generated during the manufacturing process of the display substrate, effectively preventing ESD damage generated during side bonding, die bonding, and other stages, thus providing electrostatic protection and improving product yield.

[0036] Furthermore, in the display substrate provided in this embodiment, the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is disposed on the side of the pixel driving circuit facing the substrate 10. This arrangement helps to shorten the distance between the light-emitting element and the corresponding pixel driving circuit, effectively reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the display substrate. Simultaneously, the electrostatic discharge layer 20 can be fabricated during the array process used to manufacture the display substrate, eliminating the need for a separate process after the array process. Therefore, the display substrate provided in this embodiment has lower manufacturing difficulty and a simpler manufacturing process, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the display substrate.

[0037] Furthermore, in the display substrate provided in this embodiment, the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is disposed on the side of the pixel driving circuit facing the substrate 10, so that the electrostatic discharge layer 20 can enhance the protection against laser. When the display substrate undergoes back-side laser etching, the electrostatic discharge layer 20 can reflect part of the laser energy, reducing damage to the transistors in the front-side pixel driving circuit. See also Figure 18 The last sub-figure in the diagram illustrates the reflection of the laser.

[0038] like Figures 13 to 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the first level signal input layer includes a power layer VDD, and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is coupled to the power layer VDD.

[0039] It needs to be explained that, Figure 15 The cross-sectional view along the B1B2 direction is as follows Figure 17 As shown in section A1 of the document. Figure 18 The insulating layer 81 includes an insulating layer GI0, a first insulating layer GI1, a second insulating layer GI2, and an interlayer insulating layer ILD.

[0040] For example, the power layer VDD is used to transmit power signals, which have a stable potential.

[0041] like Figure 17As shown, exemplarily, the display substrate includes a light-shielding layer LS, a first insulating layer GI1, an active layer Poly, a second insulating layer GI2, a gate metal layer (e.g., including the top gate Tg of a transistor structure TFT), an interlayer insulating layer ILD, a source / drain metal layer, a first passivation layer PVX1, a first planarization layer PLN1, a conductive layer 50, a second passivation layer PVX2, and a second planarization layer PLN2, all sequentially stacked on the substrate 10 in a direction away from the substrate 10.

[0042] For example, the power layer VDD is disposed in the same layer and made of the same material as the gate metal layer, but it is not limited to this.

[0043] For example, the first insulating layer, the active layer, the second insulating layer, the gate metal layer, the interlayer insulating layer, and the source / drain metal layer are used to form the pixel driving circuit.

[0044] In the display substrate provided in the above embodiments, the first level signal input layer includes a power layer VDD, and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is coupled to the power layer VDD. This allows the existing power layer VDD, used for transmitting stable signals, to be multiplexed as the first level signal transmission layer, avoiding the need for additional patterning processes. This simplifies the structure and manufacturing process of the display substrate and reduces its manufacturing cost. Furthermore, this configuration helps reduce the IRDrop of the power layer VDD, improving the display uniformity of the display substrate.

[0045] The above configuration enables the electrostatic discharge layer 20 to have the same stable power signal as the power layer VDD. The electrostatic discharge layer 20 can promptly discharge the static electricity generated during the display substrate manufacturing process, effectively preventing ESD damage generated during the side, bonding, and die bonding stages, thus providing electrostatic protection and improving product yield.

[0046] like Figures 19 to 24 As shown, in some embodiments, the first level signal input layer includes a cathode layer VSS, and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is coupled to the cathode layer VSS.

[0047] For example, the cathode layer VSS is used to transmit a negative power signal, which has a stable potential.

[0048] For example, the cathode layer VSS is disposed in the same layer and made of the same material as the gate metal layer, but it is not limited to this.

[0049] In the display substrate provided in the above embodiments, the first level signal input layer includes a cathode layer VSS, and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is coupled to the cathode layer VSS. This allows the existing cathode layer VSS, used for transmitting stable signals, to be multiplexed as the first level signal transmission layer, avoiding additional patterning processes. This simplifies the structure and manufacturing process of the display substrate and reduces its manufacturing cost. Furthermore, this configuration helps reduce the IRDrop of the cathode layer VSS, improving the display uniformity of the display substrate.

[0050] The above configuration enables the electrostatic discharge layer 20 to have the same stable signal as the cathode layer VSS. The electrostatic discharge layer 20 can promptly discharge the static electricity generated during the display substrate manufacturing process, effectively preventing ESD damage generated during the side, bonding, and die bonding stages, thus providing electrostatic protection and improving product yield.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first level signal input layer includes a light-shielding layer LS, at least a portion of which is located between the pixel driving circuit layer and the substrate 10. The pixel driving circuit includes a plurality of transistors, each transistor including an active layer. The orthographic projection of the light-shielding layer LS onto the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the active layer included in at least a portion of the transistors onto the substrate 10. The electrostatic discharge layer 20 is coupled to the light-shielding layer LS.

[0052] like Figure 17 As shown, the light-shielding layer LS can be used to form the bottom gate Bg of the transistor structure TFT, but is not limited to this.

[0053] For example, the light-shielding layer LS includes a plurality of first light-shielding patterns and a plurality of second light-shielding patterns. The first light-shielding patterns are coupled to the power layer VDD, so that the first light-shielding patterns have a stable power signal. The orthographic projection of the second light-shielding pattern on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the channel portion in the active layer Poly on the substrate 10. By blocking the channel portion in the transistor through the second light-shielding pattern, it is beneficial to ensure the characteristic stability of the transistor.

[0054] For example, the second light-shielding pattern is reused as the bottom gate of the transistor it shields, the bottom gate of which is coupled to the top gate, but is not limited thereto.

[0055] For example, the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the light-shielding layer LS are disposed on different layers, at least a portion of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is located between the light-shielding layer LS and the substrate 10, and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the light-shielding layer LS are coupled through vias; or, the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the light-shielding layer LS are disposed on the same layer, and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the light-shielding layer LS are directly overlapped.

[0056] For example, the overlap area between the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the light-shielding layer LS on the substrate 10 is less than or equal to 20% of the area of ​​the electrostatic discharge layer 20.

[0057] For example, the overlap area between the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the light-shielding layer LS on the substrate 10 is less than or equal to 10% of the area of ​​the electrostatic discharge layer 20.

[0058] For example, the overlap area between the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the light-shielding layer LS on the substrate 10 is less than or equal to 5% of the area of ​​the electrostatic discharge layer 20.

[0059] In the display substrate provided in the above embodiments, the first level signal input layer includes a light-shielding layer LS, and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is coupled to the light-shielding layer LS. This allows the existing light-shielding layer LS, used for transmitting stable signals, to be multiplexed as the first level signal transmission layer, avoiding the need for additional patterning processes. This simplifies the structure and manufacturing process of the display substrate and reduces its manufacturing cost. Furthermore, this configuration helps reduce the IRDrop of the power supply layer VDD, improving the display uniformity of the display substrate.

[0060] The above configuration enables the electrostatic discharge layer 20 to have the same stable signal as the light-shielding layer LS. The electrostatic discharge layer 20 can promptly discharge the static electricity generated during the display substrate manufacturing process, effectively preventing ESD damage generated during the side, bonding, and die bonding stages, thus providing electrostatic protection and improving product yield.

[0061] The above configuration ensures that the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is coupled to the light-shielding layer LS, while minimizing the overlap area between the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the light-shielding layer LS on the substrate 10. This allows the electrostatic discharge layer 20 to largely avoid the light-shielding layer LS, preventing damage to the film formation of the light-shielding layer LS due to the presence of the electrostatic discharge layer 20.

[0062] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a light-shielding layer LS, at least a portion of which is located between the pixel driving circuit layer and the substrate 10; the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the light-shielding layer LS on the substrate 10.

[0063] The above configuration allows the electrostatic discharge layer 20 to completely avoid the light-shielding layer LS, preventing the presence of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 from damaging the film formation of the light-shielding layer LS.

[0064] like Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, the display substrate includes a power layer VDD and a cathode layer VSS; the power layer VDD includes a plurality of power lines arranged along a first direction. Figure 14 The diagram illustrates a power line, which includes at least a portion extending along a second direction, the first direction intersecting the second direction; the cathode layer VSS includes a plurality of cathode lines arranged along the first direction. Figure 14 The diagram illustrates a cathode line, which includes at least a portion extending in a second direction; The electrostatic discharge layer 20 is formed in a mesh shape, and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 includes a plurality of first mesh portions 201 extending along a first direction and a plurality of second mesh portions 202 extending along a second direction; at least one of the orthographic projections of the second mesh portion 202 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the power line on the substrate 10; and / or, at least one of the orthographic projections of the second mesh portion 202 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the cathode line on the substrate 10.

[0065] For example, the power lines and the cathode lines are arranged alternately along the first direction.

[0066] For example, the electrostatic discharge layer 20 includes a plurality of first grid portions 201 extending along a first direction and a plurality of second grid portions 202 extending along a second direction, wherein the first grid portions 201 and the second grid portions 202 are coupled together to define a grid structure.

[0067] For example, the length of the second grid portion 202 is less than the length of the first grid portion 201, but it is not limited to this.

[0068] The above-mentioned arrangement of at least one second mesh portion 202 on the substrate 10 having its orthogonal projection at least partially overlapping with the orthogonal projection of the power line on the substrate 10; and / or, at least one second mesh portion 202 having its orthogonal projection on the substrate 10 having its orthogonal projection at least partially overlapping with the orthogonal projection of the cathode line on the substrate 10; facilitates the coupling of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 with the power layer VDD or the cathode layer VSS, and reduces the difficulty of coupling between the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the power layer VDD or the cathode layer VSS.

[0069] The electrostatic discharge layer 20 described above is formed in a grid shape, which helps to collect static electricity generated during the manufacturing process of the display substrate and discharge the static electricity in a timely manner, effectively preventing ESD damage generated during the side, bonding, and die bonding stages, thus playing a role in electrostatic protection and improving product yield.

[0070] like Figures 13 to 16 As shown, in some embodiments, the display substrate includes a plurality of clock signal lines HF arranged along a second direction, the clock signal lines HF including at least a portion extending along the first direction, and the pixel driving circuit is coupled to the corresponding clock signal line HF; the orthographic projection of the first grid portion 201 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the clock signal line HF on the substrate 10.

[0071] For example, the display substrate further includes a plurality of data lines Data arranged along a second direction, each data line Data including at least a portion extending along a first direction, and the pixel driving circuit is coupled to the corresponding data line Data.

[0072] For example, the orthographic projection of the first grid portion 201 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the clock signal line HF on the substrate 10; and / or, the orthographic projection of the first grid portion 201 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the data line Data on the substrate 10.

[0073] The above configuration helps to improve the stability of the clock signal line HF and the data line Data.

[0074] like Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the electrostatic discharge layer 20 includes a plurality of first openings K1, the orthographic projection of the boundary of the first opening K1 on the substrate 10 includes a curved edge; the orthographic projection of the first opening K1 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10.

[0075] For example, the curved portion is formed into a circle or an ellipse, but is not limited thereto.

[0076] In the display substrate provided in the above embodiments, by setting the orthographic projection of the boundary of the first opening K1 on the substrate 10 to include a curved edge, the first opening K1 can be formed as an opening with a smooth boundary, similar to a circle or ellipse. Such an opening is not prone to accumulating static electricity. Thus, by setting the orthographic projection of the first opening K1 on the substrate 10 to at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10, static electricity can be prevented from accumulating in the area where the pixel driving circuit is located, causing the pixel driving circuit to directly release static electricity to the static discharge layer 20, thereby affecting the working stability of the pixel driving circuit and ensuring the yield of the pixel driving circuit.

[0077] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the electrostatic discharge layer 20 includes a plurality of second openings K2, the orthographic projection of the boundary of the second opening K2 on the substrate 10 includes a straight edge; the orthographic projection of the second opening K2 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10.

[0078] For example, the orthographic projection of the boundary of the second opening K2 onto the substrate 10 includes a triangle, a rectangle, or other polygons with straight sides, but is not limited to these.

[0079] like Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, by way of example, the orthographic projection of the boundary of the second opening K2 onto the substrate 10 includes at least one serrated portion 203, that is, the second opening K2 includes an opening with a serrated shape.

[0080] In the display substrate provided in the above embodiment, by setting the orthographic projection of the boundary of the second opening K2 on the substrate 10 to include a straight edge, the second opening K2 can be formed as an opening with a sharp corner. Such an opening is prone to accumulating static electricity. Thus, by setting the orthographic projection of the second opening K2 on the substrate 10 to not overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the second opening K2 on the substrate 10 to at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the peripheral area of ​​the pixel driving circuit, the second opening K2 can attract static electricity from the peripheral area and discharge the static electricity, thereby ensuring the yield of the display substrate.

[0081] like Figures 13 to 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor (i.e., a third transistor M3) and a storage capacitor Cs. The first plate Cs1 of the storage capacitor Cs is coupled to the gate of the driving transistor, and the second plate Cs2 of the storage capacitor Cs is coupled to the power supply layer VDD. The orthographic projection of the second electrode plate Cs2 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10. In this overlap area, the second electrode plate Cs2 and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 are coupled through a via Via3. Simultaneously, the second electrode plate Cs2 is coupled to the power layer VDD through a via Via1, and to the light-shielding layer LS through a via Via2.

[0082] For example, the second electrode plate Cs2 is disposed in the same layer and with the same material as the source and drain metal layers, but it is not limited to this.

[0083] like Figure 17 As shown, exemplarily, the second electrode Cs2 has a first light-shielding pattern (as marked LS) between it and the substrate 10. An electrostatic discharge layer 20 is provided between the first light-shielding pattern and the substrate 10. The orthographic projection of the second electrode Cs2 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10. At least a portion of the first light-shielding pattern is located in the overlap area. In the overlap area, the second electrode and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 are coupled through a via Via3, which is capable of penetrating the first light-shielding pattern located in the overlap area.

[0084] The above setup eliminates the need to change the layout of the pixel driving circuit and the light-shielding layer LS. Only the electrostatic discharge layer 20 needs to be fabricated at the designated location. This helps to reduce the overall layout difficulty of the display substrate, simplify the manufacturing process, and save manufacturing costs.

[0085] In some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a first conductive connection portion coupled to the power line, and at least a portion of the first conductive connection portion is located on the side of the power line facing away from the substrate 10. The orthographic projection of the first conductive connection portion on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10, and the first conductive connection portion and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 are coupled through a via in the overlapping area.

[0086] For example, the first conductive connection portion is disposed in the same layer and made of the same material as the source and drain metal layers, but it is not limited to this. This arrangement helps to shorten the distance between the first conductive connection portion and the electrostatic discharge layer 20, reduces the difficulty of manufacturing the vias used to connect the first conductive connection portion and the electrostatic discharge layer 20, and is applicable to both large and small pixel driving circuits.

[0087] For example, the thickness of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the size of the formed openings can be determined based on the ESD prevention capability and the vertical relationship with the source and drain metal layers.

[0088] In the display substrate provided in the above embodiments, the coupling between the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the power line is achieved by setting the first conductive connection portion, which enables more flexible layout of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and reduces the layout difficulty of the display substrate.

[0089] like Figures 25 to 28 As shown, in some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a first conductive connection portion and a second conductive connection portion 62, at least a portion of the second conductive connection portion 62 being located on the side of the first conductive connection portion facing away from the substrate 10; the first conductive connection portion is coupled to the second conductive connection portion 62 and the power layer respectively; the orthographic projection of the second conductive connection portion 62 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10, and in the overlap area, the second conductive connection portion 62 and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 are coupled through a via Via 5.

[0090] like Figure 28 As shown, by way of example, the second conductive connection portion 62 is disposed in the same layer and with the same material as the conductive layer 50, but is not limited thereto. In this arrangement, the distance between the second conductive connection portion 62 and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is relatively large, and the via Via5 used to connect the second conductive connection portion 62 and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 has a relatively deep depth. The via Via5 penetrates the insulating layer 83 (including insulating layer GI0, first insulating layer GI1, second insulating layer GI2 and interlayer insulating layer ILD), the first passivation layer PVX1 and the first planarization layer PLN1 between the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the light-shielding layer LS.

[0091] In the display substrate provided in the above embodiments, the coupling between the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the power line is achieved by providing the second conductive connection portion 62, which allows for more flexible layout of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and reduces the layout difficulty of the display substrate.

[0092] like Figure 23As shown, in some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a third conductive connection portion 63, which is coupled to the cathode layer VSS, and at least a portion of the third conductive connection portion 63 is located on the side of the cathode layer VSS facing away from the substrate 10. The orthographic projection of the third conductive connection portion 63 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10. In this overlapping area, the third conductive connection portion 63 and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 are coupled through a via 7.

[0093] For example, the third conductive connection portion 63 is disposed in the same layer and made of the same material as the source / drain metal layer, but it is not limited to this. This arrangement helps to shorten the distance between the third conductive connection portion 63 and the electrostatic discharge layer 20, and reduces the difficulty of fabricating the vias used to connect the third conductive connection portion 63 and the electrostatic discharge layer 20. It is applicable to both large and small pixel driving circuits.

[0094] In the display substrate provided in the above embodiments, the coupling between the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the cathode layer VSS is achieved by providing a third conductive connection portion 63, which enables more flexible layout of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and reduces the layout difficulty of the display substrate.

[0095] like Figure 29 and Figure 30 As shown, in some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a first connecting electrode 71 and a third conductive connection portion 63. At least a portion of the first connecting electrode 71 is located on the side of the third conductive connection portion 63 facing away from the substrate 10. The third conductive connection portion 63 is coupled to the first connecting electrode 71 and the cathode layer VSS, respectively. The orthographic projection of the first connecting electrode 71 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10. In the overlap area, the first connecting electrode 71 and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 are coupled through a via Via 6.

[0096] For example, the first connecting electrode 71 is disposed in the same layer and made of the same material as the conductive layer 50, but it is not limited to this. In this arrangement, the distance between the first connecting electrode 71 and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 is relatively large, and the via for connecting the first connecting electrode 71 and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 has a relatively deep depth. The via penetrates the insulating layer between the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the light-shielding layer LS, the first insulating layer, the second insulating layer, the interlayer insulating layer, the first passivation layer, and the first planarization layer.

[0097] In the display substrate provided in the above embodiments, the coupling between the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and the power line is achieved by setting the first connection electrode 71, which allows for more flexible layout of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 and reduces the layout difficulty of the display substrate.

[0098] like Figure 19 , Figure 22 and Figure 24 As shown, in some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the cathode layer VSS on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer 20 on the substrate 10 (such as part A2), and the cathode layer VSS and the electrostatic discharge layer 20 are coupled through a via Via4 in the overlapping area.

[0099] It should be noted that, Figure 20 for Figure 19 Zhongyu Figure 14 An enlarged diagram of the same position in part A1. Figure 20 The conductive layer is not included. In this embodiment, Figure 20 The cross-sectional view along the B1B2 direction is as follows Figure 21 As shown in section A3, in this embodiment, the second electrode Cs2 is not coupled to the electrostatic discharge layer 20.

[0100] It is worth noting that, Figure 19 See the cross-sectional view of part A2 in the diagram. Figure 22 Part A2 of the document. Figure 24 The middle insulating layer 82 includes an insulating layer GI0, a first insulating layer GI1, and a second insulating layer GI2.

[0101] The above setup eliminates the need to change the layout of the pixel driving circuit and the light-shielding layer LS. Only the electrostatic discharge layer 20 needs to be fabricated at the designated location. This helps to reduce the overall layout difficulty of the display substrate, simplify the manufacturing process, and save manufacturing costs.
