The embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in any way.
[0057] The scales of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference for actual processes, but are not limited to such. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of the various film layers, and the width and spacing of the various signal lines can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are merely schematic structural diagrams, and one embodiment of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the figures.
[0058] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number.
[0059] In this specification, for convenience, words and phrases indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside," are used to illustrate the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.
[0060] In this specification, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure.
[0061] In this specification, a transistor refers to a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0062] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or vice versa. The functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged, and "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.
[0063] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transfer of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.
[0064] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. Furthermore, "perpendicular" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.
[0065] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced with "insulating layer."
[0066] The triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons in this specification are not in the strict sense, but may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons, etc. There may be some small deformations caused by tolerances, and there may be chamfers, arc edges and deformations.
[0067] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly defined and allows for process and measurement errors.
[0068] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device. As shown in Figure 1, the OLED display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is respectively connected to the data driver and the scan driver. The data driver is respectively connected to a plurality of data signal lines (D1 to Dn). The scan driver is respectively connected to a plurality of scan signal lines (S1 to Sm). The pixel array may include a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij. Each sub-pixel Pxij may be connected to a corresponding data signal line and a corresponding scan signal line. i and j may be natural numbers. At least one sub-pixel Pxij may include at least a circuit unit and a display unit. The circuit unit may include at least a pixel driving circuit. The pixel driving circuit is respectively connected to the scan signal line and the data signal line. The display unit may include at least a light-emitting device. The light-emitting device is connected to the pixel driving circuit of the circuit unit. Sub-pixel Pxij may refer to a sub-pixel whose pixel driving circuit is connected to the i-th scan signal line and the j-th data signal line. In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller may provide grayscale values and control signals suitable for the specifications of the data driver to the data driver, and may provide a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. suitable for the specifications of the scan driver to the scan driver. The data driver can generate data voltages to be provided to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., and Dn using grayscale values and control signals received from a timing controller. For example, the data driver can sample grayscale values using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values to data signal lines D1 to Dn in units of pixel rows, where n can be a natural number. The scan driver can generate scan signals to be provided to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., and Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, etc. from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver can sequentially provide scan signals having on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver can be configured in the form of a shift register and can generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting scan start signals provided in the form of on-level pulses to the next level circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel array can be provided on a display substrate.

[0169] In an exemplary embodiment, during the process of forming the second insulating layer pattern, a dry etching process is used to form a plurality of via holes. Simultaneously, a primary conductive process is performed on the semiconductor layer exposed within the via holes, thereby forming a primary conductive region within the semiconductor layer exposed within the via holes. During the primary conductive process, the edge portion of the semiconductor layer covered by the second insulating layer near the via hole is also conductively conductive, meaning that the primary conductive semiconductor layer extends away from the via hole.
[0170] (15) Forming a third conductive layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the third conductive layer pattern may include: depositing a third conductive film on the substrate having the aforementioned pattern formed thereon, patterning the third conductive film through a patterning process, and forming a third conductive layer pattern on the second insulating layer, as shown in FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B , where FIG. 9B is a schematic diagram of the third conductive layer in FIG. 9A .

The scan signal line 30 is located between the first pixel row (including the first sub-pixel P1 and the second sub-pixel P2) and the second pixel row (including the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4). The scan signal line 30 is configured to simultaneously control the conduction or disconnection of all the first transistors T1 and all the third transistors T3 in the four sub-pixels of the repeating unit.
[0173] In an exemplary embodiment, the first gate electrode 31 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the second direction Y and may be disposed on a side of the scan signal line 30 close to the first active layer 21. A first end of the first gate electrode 31 is connected to the scan signal line 30, and a second end of the first gate electrode 31 extends toward the first active layer 21. The orthographic projection of the first gate electrode 31 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first active layer 21 on the substrate. In an exemplary embodiment, the first gate electrode 31 may serve as the gate electrode of the first transistor T1, so that the scan signal line 30 can control whether the first transistor T1 is turned on or off.
[0174] In an exemplary embodiment, the second gate electrode 32 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the second direction Y. A first end of the second gate electrode 32 is connected to the second electrode plate 62 via a sixth via V6, and a second end of the second gate electrode 32 extends toward the second active layer 22. The orthographic projection of the second gate electrode 32 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second active layer 22 on the substrate. In an exemplary embodiment, the second gate electrode 32 may serve as the gate electrode of the second transistor T2 and may control whether the second transistor T2 is turned on or off.
[0175] In an exemplary embodiment, since the second gate electrode 32 is connected to the second electrode plate 62, and the second electrode plate 62 is connected to the second region of the first active layer 21, the second electrode of the first transistor T1, the gate electrode of the second transistor T2, and the second electrode plate 62 (the first end of the storage capacitor) have the same potential, forming a first node in the pixel driving circuit, and the second electrode plate 62 has the potential of the first node in the pixel driving circuit.
[0176] In an exemplary embodiment, the third gate electrode 33 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the second direction Y and may be disposed on a side of the scan signal line 30 close to the third active layer 23. A first end of the third gate electrode 33 is connected to the scan signal line 30, and a second end of the third gate electrode 33 extends toward the third active layer 23. The orthographic projection of the third gate electrode 33 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the third active layer 23 on the substrate. In an exemplary embodiment, the third gate electrode 33 may serve as the gate electrode of the third transistor T3, so that the scan signal line 30 can control the conduction or disconnection of the third transistor T3.
[0177] In an exemplary embodiment, in one sub-pixel, one scan signal line 30 is connected to both the first gate electrode 31 and the third gate electrode 33 , so that the scan signal line 30 can control the on / off switching of the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 in one sub-pixel.
[0178] In an exemplary embodiment, in one pixel row, one scan signal line 30 is simultaneously connected to all first gate electrodes 31 and all third transistors 33 in a plurality of sub-pixels, so that the scan signal line 30 can control the conduction or disconnection of all first transistors T1 and all third transistors T3 in one pixel row.
[0179] In an exemplary embodiment, in one repeating unit, one scan signal line 30 is simultaneously connected to all first gate electrodes 31 and all third transistors 33 in a plurality of sub-pixels, so that the scan signal line 30 can simultaneously control the on or off of all first transistors T1 and all third transistors T3 in the repeating unit.
[0180] In an exemplary embodiment, within at least one repeating unit, the scan signal line 30 , the first gate electrode 31 , and the third gate electrode 33 may be an integral structure connected to each other.
[0181] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth connection electrode 15 can be in a block shape (such as a rectangle) and can be arranged on a side of the second electrode plate 62 away from the scan signal line 30. The fifth connection electrode 15 is connected to the second region of the second active layer 22 and the third connection electrode 13 at the same time through the third via hole V3.
[0182] In the exemplary embodiment, since the third connection electrode 13 is connected to the first connection electrode 11, and the first connection electrode 11 is connected to the first electrode plate 61, the fifth connection electrode 15 allows the second electrode of the second transistor and the first electrode plate 61 to have the same potential. In the exemplary embodiment, the fifth connection electrode 15 is configured to be connected to a tenth connection electrode formed subsequently.
[0183] In an exemplary embodiment, the sixth connection electrode 16 can be in a block shape (such as a rectangle) and can be arranged on the side of the second electrode plate 62 close to the scan signal line 30. The sixth connection electrode 16 is simultaneously connected to the second region of the third active layer 23 and the fourth connection electrode 14 through the fifth via hole V5.
[0184] In the exemplary embodiment, since the fourth connection electrode 14 is connected to the second connection electrode 12 , and the second connection electrode 12 is connected to the first electrode plate 61 , the sixth connection electrode 16 allows the second electrode of the third transistor and the first electrode plate 61 to have the same potential.
[0185] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth connecting electrode 15 and the sixth connecting electrode 16 realize the connection between the second electrode of the second transistor, the second electrode of the third transistor and the first electrode plate 61 (the second end of the storage capacitor), forming a second node in the pixel driving circuit, so that the first electrode plate 61 has the potential of the second node in the pixel driving circuit.
[0186] In an exemplary embodiment, since the first plate 61 has the potential of the second node in the pixel driving circuit and the second plate 62 has the potential of the first node in the pixel driving circuit, the first plate 61 having the potential of the second node and the second plate 62 having the potential of the first node form a storage capacitor.
[0187] In an exemplary embodiment, since the first electrode 61 is made of a transparent conductive material and the second electrode 62 is made of a transparent metal oxide, the storage capacitor is a transparent capacitor.
[0188] In an exemplary embodiment, the data connection electrode 17 may be in a block shape (e.g., a rectangle). The data connection electrode 17 is connected to both the first region of the first active layer 21 and the data signal line 52 through the first via hole V1, thereby enabling the data signal line 52 to write the data signal into the first electrode of the first transistor T1. In an exemplary embodiment, each data signal line 52 may be connected to the first region of the first active layer in a sub-pixel through the first via hole V1, thereby enabling the four data signal lines 52 to write the data signals into the first electrodes of the four first transistors T1 in a repeating unit.
[0189] In an exemplary embodiment, the four data signal lines 52 may include a first data signal line 52-1, a second data signal line 52-2, a third data signal line 52-3, and a fourth data signal line 52-4, which are sequentially arranged along the first direction X. The first data signal line 52-1 may be located on a side of the first pixel column opposite to the first direction X and may be connected to the first region of the first active layer in the first subpixel P1 via the data connection electrode 17. The second data signal line 52-2 may be located on a side of the first data signal line in the first direction X and may be connected to the first region of the first active layer in the third subpixel P3 via the data connection electrode 17. The fourth data signal line 52-4 may be located on a side of the second pixel column in the first direction X and may be connected to the first region of the first active layer in the fourth subpixel P4 via the data connection electrode 17. The third data signal line 52-3 may be located on a side of the fourth data signal line 52-4 opposite to the first direction X and may be connected to the first region of the first active layer in the second subpixel P2 via the data connection electrode 17.
[0190] In an exemplary embodiment, the power connection electrode 18 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the first direction X and may be disposed on a side of the second electrode plate 62 away from the scan signal line 30. The power connection electrode 18 may be connected to both the first region of the second active layer 22 and the power connection block 54 through the second via hole V2. Since the power connection block 54 is connected to the first power line 51, the first power line 51 writes the first power signal into the first electrode of the second transistor T2.
[0191] In an exemplary embodiment, the two first power lines 51 may include a first first power line 51-1 and a second first power line 51-2 sequentially arranged along the first direction X. The first first power line 51-1 may be located in a first pixel column on a side opposite to the first direction X of the compensation signal line 54, and may be connected to the first regions of the second active layer 22 in the first subpixel P1 and the third subpixel P3, respectively, through the two power connection electrodes 18 in the first pixel column. The second first power line 51-2 may be located in a second pixel column on a side opposite to the first direction X of the compensation signal line 54, and may be connected to the first regions of the second active layer 22 in the second subpixel P2 and the fourth subpixel P4, respectively, through the two power connection electrodes 18 in the second pixel column.
[0192] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 in the first pixel column can simultaneously provide a first power signal to the pixel driving circuits in the first subpixel P1 and the third subpixel P3. The first power line 51 in the second pixel column can simultaneously provide a first power signal to the pixel driving circuits in the second subpixel P2 and the fourth subpixel P4. Thus, the first power lines 51 in a repeating unit form a one-to-two structure. By designing the first power lines as a one-to-two structure, the display substrate of the present disclosure reduces the number of signal lines and the space occupied. The resulting structure is simple, the layout is rational, and the layout space is fully utilized, improving space utilization and facilitating higher resolution.
[0193] In an exemplary embodiment, the two first power lines 51 in a repeating unit are symmetrically arranged relative to the compensation signal line 53, and the second transistor T2 of the first pixel column and the second transistor T2 of the second pixel column are symmetrically arranged relative to the compensation signal line 53. This symmetrical structure of the present disclosure can ensure that the voltage drop written by the first power line to the second transistor T2 is substantially the same, thereby ensuring display uniformity.
[0194] In an exemplary embodiment, the power connection electrodes 18 in the first and second subpixels P1 and P2 may be connected to each other, and the power connection electrodes 18 in the third and fourth subpixels P3 and P4 may be connected to each other.
[0195] In an exemplary embodiment, the power connection electrodes 18 in the first subpixel P1 and the second subpixel P2 may be connected to each other in an integrated structure, that is, the first subpixel P1 and the second subpixel P2 share one power connection electrode 18. The power connection electrodes 18 in the third subpixel P3 and the fourth subpixel P4 may be connected to each other in an integrated structure, that is, the third subpixel P3 and the fourth subpixel P4 share one power connection electrode 18.
[0196] In an exemplary embodiment, the power connection electrode 18 can serve as a horizontal power connection line. The power connection electrode of the integrated structure is in the shape of a strip extending along the first direction X, and is arranged across the first pixel column and the second pixel column, so that the first sub-pixel P1 and the second sub-pixel P2 share one power connection electrode 18, and the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 share one power connection electrode 18. The two first voltage lines 51 can simultaneously provide the first voltage signal to the pixel driving circuits in the four sub-pixels, so that the four pixel driving circuits in a repeating unit can share two first voltage lines 51.
[0197] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the power connection electrode on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the data signal line 52 on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the power connection electrode 18 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the compensation signal line 53 on the substrate.
[0198] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the compensation connection electrode 19 can be a block shape (such as a rectangle), and can be arranged between the third gate electrodes 33 of two adjacent sub-pixels in the first direction X. The compensation connection electrode 19 can be simultaneously connected to the first area of the third active layer 23 and the compensation signal line 53 through the fourth via hole V4, thereby enabling the compensation signal line 53 to write the compensation signal into the first electrode of the third transistor T3.
[0199] In an exemplary embodiment, since the first regions of the third active layers in the first subpixel P1 and the second subpixel P2 are connected to each other, the first subpixel P1 and the second subpixel P2 share a fourth via hole V4, and thus the first subpixel P1 and the second subpixel P2 share a compensation connection electrode 19. Since the first regions of the third active layers in the third subpixel P3 and the fourth subpixel P4 are connected to each other, the third subpixel P3 and the fourth subpixel P4 share a fourth via hole V4, and thus the third subpixel P3 and the fourth subpixel P4 share a compensation connection electrode 19.
[0200] In an exemplary embodiment, compensation signal line 53 can simultaneously provide compensation signals to the pixel driver circuits in four sub-pixels. Therefore, the four pixel driver circuits in a repeating unit can share a single compensation signal line 53, i.e., the compensation signal lines 53 in a repeating unit form a one-to-four structure. By designing the display substrate as a one-to-four structure, the disclosed display substrate reduces the number of signal lines and space requirements. This results in a simple structure, a rational layout, and full utilization of layout space, improving space efficiency and facilitating higher resolution.
[0201] In an exemplary embodiment, the compensation signal line 53 is arranged between the first pixel column and the second pixel column, and the third transistor T3 of the first pixel column and the third transistor T3 of the second pixel column are symmetrically arranged with respect to the compensation signal line 53. This symmetrical structure of the present disclosure can ensure that the RC delay of the compensation signal written into the third transistor T3 is substantially the same, thereby ensuring display uniformity.
[0202] In an exemplary embodiment, the positions of the respective patterns in the third conductive layer in the first subpixel P1 and the third subpixel P3 may be substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to a horizontal reference line, the positions of the respective patterns in the third conductive layer in the second subpixel P2 and the fourth subpixel P4 may be substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to a horizontal reference line, the positions of the respective patterns in the third conductive layer in the first subpixel P1 and the second subpixel P2 may be substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to a vertical reference line, and the positions of the respective patterns in the third conductive layer in the third subpixel P3 and the fourth subpixel P4 may be substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to a vertical reference line.
[0203] In an exemplary embodiment, during the process of forming the third conductive layer pattern, a wet etching process is first used to form the third conductive layer pattern, thereby enabling at least one connecting electrode to simultaneously connect to the second conductive layer and the semiconductor layer through the via hole of the transition structure. The via hole of the transition structure can include at least two half-holes: a shallow half-hole and a deep half-hole. The second insulating layer in the shallow half-hole is removed, exposing the surface of the semiconductor layer. The second insulating layer and the first insulating layer in the deep half-hole are removed, exposing the surface of the second conductive layer. This allows the connecting electrode to simultaneously connect to the semiconductor layer and the second conductive layer through both the shallow and deep half-holes. In this exemplary embodiment, a distance is provided between the end of the connecting electrode located in the shallow half-hole region and the edge of the shallow half-hole, meaning that the connecting electrode does not fully cover the shallow half-hole.
[0204] In an exemplary embodiment, after the third conductive layer pattern is formed by a wet etching process, a self-alignment process using the third conductive layer as a mask is used to etch the second insulating layer in an area outside the third conductive layer by a dry etching process. While etching away the second insulating layer, the exposed semiconductor layer is subjected to a second conductorization to form a second conductorization area.
[0205] In an exemplary embodiment, during the second conductorization process, the edge portion of the semiconductor layer covered by the third conductive layer is also conductorized, that is, the semiconductor layer that is conductorized for the second time extends toward the area that was conductorized for the first time, forming a double conductorization area in the overlapping area of the first conductorization area and the second conductorization area, thereby ensuring a reliable connection between the third conductive layer and the semiconductor layer.

[0209] In an exemplary embodiment, this process can use a single patterning process to simultaneously form vias on the third insulating layer and the flat layer. The third insulating layer and the flat layer share a halftone or gray tone mask (MASK) process, effectively reducing the number of patterning processes.

[0212] In an exemplary embodiment, the first electrode 70 may be rectangular in shape, and the corners of the rectangle may be provided with chamfers, grooves or protrusions, and the orthographic projection of the first electrode 70 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second electrode plate 62 on the substrate.

The first end of the tenth connecting electrode 20 is connected to the first electrode 70, and the second end of the tenth connecting electrode 20 extends in a direction away from the scanning signal line 30 and is connected to the fifth connecting electrode 15 through the eleventh via hole V11.

[0215] In an exemplary embodiment, the four first electrodes 70 in a repeating unit are arranged in a square, with the upper left anode connected to the pixel driving circuit in the first sub-pixel P1, the upper right anode connected to the pixel driving circuit in the second sub-pixel P2, the lower left anode connected to the pixel driving circuit in the third sub-pixel P3, and the lower right anode connected to the pixel driving circuit in the fourth sub-pixel P4.

[0218] In an exemplary embodiment, the first electrode 70 can also serve as an auxiliary capacitor of the storage capacitor. Since the first electrode 70 is connected to the tenth connection electrode 20, and the tenth connection electrode 20 is connected to the first plate 61 through the fifth connection electrode 15, the third connection electrode 13 and the first connection electrode 11, the first electrode 70 has the potential of the second node in the pixel driving circuit, so that the first electrode 70 having the second node potential and the second plate 62 having the first node potential form an auxiliary capacitor, and the auxiliary capacitor and the storage capacitor are connected in parallel. The present disclosure uses the anode to form an auxiliary capacitor, and the auxiliary capacitor and the storage capacitor are connected in parallel. On the one hand, it can effectively increase the capacitance value of the storage capacitor, and on the other hand, it can reduce the plate area while ensuring the capacitance value of the storage capacitor, effectively reducing the occupied area.
[0219] (18) Forming a pixel definition layer. In an exemplary embodiment, forming a pixel definition layer pattern may include: coating a pixel definition film on the substrate having the aforementioned pattern formed thereon, and patterning the pixel definition film through a patterning process to form a pixel definition layer covering the fourth conductive layer, as shown in FIG. 12 .
[0220] In an exemplary embodiment, a pixel opening K is opened on the pixel definition layer of each sub-pixel in the display substrate, and the pixel definition film in the pixel opening K is removed to expose a portion of the surface of the first electrode 70.

[0224] In an exemplary embodiment, the shapes and areas of the pixel openings of the four sub-pixels may be different to accommodate the transmittance of different sub-pixel filters, so that the light-emitting devices of the four sub-pixels can emit the same brightness at different currents, thereby maximizing the lifespan of the four sub-pixel light-emitting devices and ensuring the product lifespan.
[0225] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one partition groove may be further provided on the pixel definition layer of each repeating unit in the display substrate. The partition groove M may be in the shape of a strip with a main portion extending along the first direction X or the second direction Y.

Subsequently, using an inkjet printing process to inkjet print an organic material on the first packaging layer, and after curing into a film, forming a second packaging layer. Subsequently, using an open mask to deposit a second inorganic thin film to form a third packaging layer, the first packaging layer, the second packaging layer and the third packaging layer constitute a packaging structure layer. The first packaging layer and the third packaging layer can be made of any one or more of silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon carbonitride (SiCN) and silicon oxynitride (SiON), and can be a single layer, a multilayer or a composite layer. The second packaging layer can be made of a resin material to form a laminated structure of inorganic material / organic material / inorganic material.

The planar layer can be made of an organic material, such as a resin.
[0234] At present, existing display devices have problems such as low aperture ratio and pixel light leakage. The inventors of this application have found that the above problems are caused by unreasonable signal line arrangement. In a repeating unit of an existing display device, one compensation signal line, two first power lines and four data signal lines are arranged as follows: the compensation signal line is arranged between the first pixel column and the second pixel column, two data signal lines are arranged on the side of the first pixel column away from the compensation signal line, one first power line is arranged on the side of the two data signal lines away from the compensation signal line, the other two data signal lines are arranged on the side of the second pixel column away from the compensation signal line, and another first power line is arranged on the side of the two data signal lines away from the compensation signal line, and the pixel driving circuit is arranged between the data signal line and the compensation signal line. Since only one compensation signal line is arranged between the first pixel column and the second pixel column, the distance between the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel in the first pixel column and the second sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel in the second pixel column is close, which not only easily loses the pixel opening, resulting in a reduced aperture ratio, but also increases the risk of pixel light leakage, resulting in pixel light leakage problems. In addition, for the first repeating unit and the second repeating unit adjacent to each other in the first direction, since five signal lines (two data signal lines for each pixel column and a first power line shared by the two pixel columns) are arranged between the second pixel column in the first repeating unit and the first pixel column in the second repeating unit, the distance between the second sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel in the second pixel column in the first repeating unit and the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel in the first pixel column in the second repeating unit is relatively far, which relatively wastes space.
[0235] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate with a bottom emission structure, which can effectively increase the aperture ratio and reduce the risk of pixel light leakage by adjusting the arrangement of signal lines. The arrangement of one compensation signal line, two first power lines and four data signal lines in a repeating unit of the present disclosure is as follows: the compensation signal line is arranged in the middle of the first direction of the repeating unit (between the first pixel column and the second pixel column), the first first power line is arranged on the side of the first pixel column close to the compensation signal line, the second first power line is arranged on the side of the second pixel column close to the compensation signal line, two data signal lines are arranged on the side of the first pixel column away from the compensation signal line, and the other two data signal lines are arranged on the side of the second pixel column away from the compensation signal line, and the signal line arrangement order is changed to: the first data signal line, the second data signal line, the first first power line, the compensation signal line, the second first power line, the third data signal line and the fourth data signal line, and the pixel driving circuit of the first pixel column is arranged between the second data signal line and the first first power line, and the pixel driving circuit of the second pixel column is arranged between the second first power line and the third data signal line. The present disclosure effectively balances the distance distribution of the opaque metal signal lines between sub-pixels by arranging the first power line and the compensation signal line in the middle of the repeating unit and the data signal line on both sides of the repeating unit. Since a compensation signal line and two first power lines are arranged between the first pixel column and the second pixel column, the distance between the sub-pixels in the first pixel column and the sub-pixels in the second pixel column is increased, which not only avoids pixel opening loss and effectively increases the aperture ratio, but also reduces the risk of pixel light leakage and can effectively eliminate pixel light leakage. In addition, since four signal lines (two data signal lines for each pixel column) are arranged between the second pixel column in the first repeating unit and the first pixel column in the second repeating unit, the distance between the sub-pixels in the first repeating unit and the sub-pixels in the second repeating unit is reduced, which relatively saves space and is conducive to improving resolution.
[0236] In existing display devices, because the first power line in each pixel column is located on the side of the two data signal lines away from the compensation signal line, each pixel column requires a power connection line extending along the first direction X (transverse direction) to connect the first power line to the second transistor. The orthographic projection of the power connection line on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projections of the two data signal lines on the substrate. In other words, in the existing structure, the power connection line overlaps all four data signal lines.
[0237] In the disclosed embodiment, by positioning the first power line on the side of the pixel column closest to the compensation signal line and the data signal line on the side of the pixel column farther from the compensation signal line, the orthographic projection of the power connection electrode, which serves as the lateral power connection line, on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the data signal line on the substrate. In other words, the power connection electrode in the disclosed embodiment does not cross-line overlap with any four data signal lines, but only cross-line overlaps with one compensation signal line. By reducing cross-line structures, the disclosed embodiment effectively improves process accuracy and increases product yield.
[0238] The disclosed embodiment provides two power connection electrodes in a repeating unit, and the two power connection electrodes are respectively connected to two first power lines, thereby forming a ring structure within the repeating unit for transmitting the first power signal, which is beneficial for improving product yield. For example, when a short circuit occurs at the position where the power connection electrode crosses the compensation signal line, the short circuit can be repaired by cutting off one power connection electrode, thereby improving product yield. For another example, when a short circuit occurs at the position where the third active layer crosses the first power line, the short circuit can be repaired by cutting off one first power line, thereby improving product yield.
[0239] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by arranging two first power lines on both sides of the compensation signal line, the first power lines with a constant potential can effectively shield the influence of the jump signal in the pixel driving circuit on the compensation signal line, thereby improving the accuracy of external compensation and improving the display effect and display quality.
[0240] The embodiment of the present disclosure arranges structures such as the first power line, the data signal line and the compensation signal line in the SHIELD layer, which is located on the side of the semiconductor layer close to the substrate, and arranges structures such as the scanning signal line and the gate electrodes of multiple transistors in the GT layer, which is located on the side of the semiconductor layer away from the substrate. This not only reduces one conductive layer, but also reduces the patterning process of the transfer via and the patterning process of the transfer conductive layer, so that the preparation process of the driving structure layer only requires six patterning processes, reducing the number of patterning processes, effectively improving production efficiency, effectively reducing production costs, and maximizing product yield.
[0241] The disclosed embodiment uses a 3T1C pixel driver circuit with one scan signal line, where the scan signal line is connected to the first transistor and the third transistor in the pixel driver circuit. By reducing the number of scan signal lines, the structure of the pixel driver circuit can be simplified, reducing the occupied area of the pixel driver circuit, which is conducive to achieving high-resolution display. In addition, since a repeating unit only requires one scan signal line to drive, the number of corresponding gate driver circuits (GOA) and clock signal lines (CLK) can be reduced exponentially, effectively reducing the occupied area of the gate driver circuit and clock signal lines, which is conducive to achieving a narrow frame and improving product advantages.
[0242] The present disclosure exemplifies a transparent storage capacitor composed of a transparent conductive layer and a transparent semiconductor layer, so that light can be emitted through the transparent storage capacitor. Therefore, the storage capacitor can be set in the pixel opening, which can not only effectively increase the capacitance of the storage capacitor, but also effectively increase the pixel aperture ratio.
[0243] The pixels of the embodiment of the present disclosure are arranged in a square manner. By adopting a first power line structure with a non-mesh structure, the pixel aperture ratio can be effectively increased, the display effect is improved, and it is more suitable for display type display.
[0244] The preparation process disclosed in the present invention is well compatible with existing preparation processes, is simple to implement, easy to implement, has high production efficiency, low production cost, and high yield rate.
[0245] Figure 13 shows an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel driver circuit in another repeating unit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 14 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of another display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the main structures of the pixel driver circuit and display substrate in this embodiment are substantially the same as those in Figures 3 and 4, with the difference being that one first power line 51 is provided per repeating unit in this embodiment.
[0246] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one repeating unit may include a scan signal line 30, a first power line 51, four data signal lines 52, and a compensation signal line 53. The shapes, positions, and connections between the scan signal line 30, the data signal line 52, and the compensation signal line 53 and the pixel driving circuit may be substantially the same as those in the aforementioned embodiment. The pixel driving circuit of at least one sub-pixel may include a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, and a storage capacitor 60. The storage capacitor 60 may include at least a first plate 61 and a second plate 62 as capacitor plates. The related connection structure is substantially the same as in the aforementioned embodiment and will not be further described here.
[0247] In one exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 may be disposed on one side of the compensation signal line 53 in the first direction X, that is, the first power line 51 is disposed on a side of the second pixel column close to the compensation signal line 53. In another exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 may be disposed on a side opposite to the first direction X of the compensation signal line 53, that is, the first power line 51 is disposed on a side of the first pixel column close to the compensation signal line 53.
[0248] In an exemplary embodiment, the power connection electrode 18 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the first direction X, the power connection electrodes 18 in the first sub-pixel P1 and the second sub-pixel P2 may be an integrated structure connected to each other, and the power connection electrodes 18 in the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 may be an integrated structure connected to each other.
[0249] In the exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 is provided in the second pixel column as an example. The first end of the power connection electrode 18 is connected to the first region of the second active layer 22 in the first pixel column through the second via hole V2 in the first pixel column. The second end of the power connection electrode 18 extends along the first direction X to the second pixel column and is then connected to both the first region of the second active layer 22 in the second pixel column and the first power line 51 through the second via hole V2 in the second pixel column. This enables the first power line 51 to write the first power signal to the first electrodes of the four second transistors T2 in the two pixel columns.
[0250] In an exemplary embodiment, a single first power line 51 can simultaneously provide a first power signal to the pixel driving circuits of four sub-pixels, thus forming a one-to-four structure within a repeating unit. By designing the first power line as a one-to-four structure, the display substrate of the present disclosure reduces the number of signal lines and space requirements, resulting in a simple structure and a rational layout, fully utilizing the layout space, improving space utilization, and facilitating higher resolution.
[0251] In an exemplary embodiment, the power connection electrode 18 can serve as a horizontal power connection line, and the orthographic projection of the power connection electrode 18 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the data signal line 52 on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the power connection electrode 18 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the compensation signal line 53 on the substrate.
[0252] In an exemplary embodiment, for two adjacent sub-pixels in a repeating unit along a first direction X, the sub-pixel without the first power line 51 is referred to as a "no-power-line sub-pixel," and the sub-pixel with the first power line 51 is referred to as a "power-line sub-pixel." The first distance between the storage capacitor and the compensation signal line in the "no-power-line" sub-pixel may be greater than or equal to the second distance between the storage capacitor and the first power line in the "power-line" sub-pixel. In an exemplary embodiment, the distance between the storage capacitor and the compensation signal line may be the maximum distance between at least one capacitor plate in the storage capacitor and the compensation signal line, and the distance between the storage capacitor and the first power line may be the maximum distance between at least one capacitor plate in the storage capacitor and the first power line.
[0253] For example, let's take the example of a first power line 51 being arranged in the second pixel column. In the first pixel column, a first distance L1 exists between the right edge of the first electrode 61 on the side closest to the compensation signal line 53 and the left edge of the compensation signal line 53 on the side closest to the first electrode 61. In the second pixel column, a second distance L2 exists between the left edge of the first electrode 61 on the side closest to the first power line 51 and the right edge of the first power line 51 on the side closest to the first electrode 61. For another example, let's take the example of a first power line 51 being arranged in the first pixel column. In the first pixel column, a second distance L2 exists between the right edge of the second electrode 62 on the side closest to the first power line 51 and the left edge of the first power line 51 on the side closest to the second electrode 62. In the second pixel column, a first distance L1 exists between the left edge of the second electrode 62 on the side closest to the compensation signal line 53 and the right edge of the compensation signal line 53 on the side closest to the second electrode 62. The first distance L1 can be greater than or equal to the second distance L2. The first distance L1 and the second distance L2 can be dimensions in the first direction X.
[0254] In an exemplary embodiment, the first distance L1 and the second distance L2 may both be greater than a minimum distance between an edge of the compensation signal line 53 close to the first power line 51 and an edge of the first power line 51 close to the compensation signal line 53 .
[0255] In an exemplary embodiment, the first distance L1 may be greater than or equal to 3 micrometers.
[0256] By setting a distance between the storage capacitor and the compensation signal line, the present disclosure can effectively reduce the impact of a jump signal in the pixel drive circuit on the compensation signal line, thereby ensuring the accuracy of external compensation. Because a first power line is provided between the pixel drive circuit and the compensation signal line in a sub-pixel with a power line, the first power line, with a constant potential, can effectively shield the impact of the jump signal in the pixel drive circuit on the compensation signal line. Therefore, while ensuring the accuracy of external compensation, the distance between the storage capacitor and the compensation signal line can be maintained or appropriately reduced.
[0257] The display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure also has the technical effects of the aforementioned embodiment, namely, it can effectively increase the aperture ratio, reduce the risk of pixel light leakage, effectively improve process accuracy, effectively improve product yield, etc. In addition, by reducing one first power line, the embodiment of the present disclosure can effectively improve space utilization, which is conducive to improving resolution. By setting the distance between the storage capacitor and the compensation signal line in different sub-pixels, the embodiment of the present disclosure can effectively reduce the impact of the jump signal in the pixel drive circuit on the compensation signal line, thereby ensuring the accuracy of external compensation and ensuring the display effect and display quality.
[0258] Figure 15 shows an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel driver circuit in another repeating unit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 16 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a display substrate according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 15 and 16, the main structures of the pixel driver circuit and display substrate in this embodiment are substantially the same as those in Figures 3 and 4, with the difference being that one first power line 51 and two compensation signal lines 53 are provided per repeating unit in this embodiment.
[0259] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one repeating unit may include a scan signal line 30, a first power line 51, four data signal lines 52, and two compensation signal lines 53.

The pixel driving circuit of at least one sub-pixel may include a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, and a storage capacitor 60. The storage capacitor 60 may include at least a first plate and a second plate serving as capacitor plates. The related connection structure is substantially the same as in the previous embodiment and will not be further described here.
[0260] In an exemplary embodiment, a first power line 51 may be located in the middle of the repeating unit in the first direction X. The first power line 51 may define two pixel columns: a first pixel column and a second pixel column. The two compensation signal lines 53 may include a first compensation signal line 53-1 and a second compensation signal line 53-2 sequentially arranged along the first direction X.
[0261] In an exemplary embodiment, the first compensation signal line 53-1 may be disposed on a side of the first power line 51 close to the first data signal line group, and the storage capacitor of the first pixel column may be disposed between the second data signal line 52-2 and the first compensation signal line 53-1. The second compensation signal line 53-2 may be disposed on a side of the first power line 51 close to the second data signal line group, and the storage capacitor of the second pixel column may be disposed between the second compensation signal line 53-2 and the third data signal line 52-3.
[0262] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one repeating unit further includes two compensation connection electrodes 19. The two compensation connection electrodes 19 may be located in the middle region of the repeating unit in the second direction Y. Each compensation connection electrode 19 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the first direction X and spanning the first pixel column and the second pixel column. The first end of each compensation connection electrode 19 is connected to the first compensation signal line 53-1 and the first electrode of the third transistor T3 in the first pixel column, and the second end of each compensation connection electrode 19 is connected to the second compensation signal line 53-2 and the first electrode of the third transistor T3 in the second pixel column.

In the exemplary embodiment, the process of forming the third conductive layer and the structure of the third conductive layer are substantially the same as those in the aforementioned embodiment, except that the connection structure of the power connection electrode 18 and the compensation connection electrode 19 in this embodiment is different, as shown in Figures 20A and 20B.

[0286] In an exemplary embodiment, the power connection electrode 18 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the first direction X. It may be disposed on a side of the second electrode plate 62 away from the scan signal line 30 and span the first pixel column and the second pixel column. The first end of the power connection electrode 18 is connected to the first region of the second active layer 22 in the first pixel column via a second via hole V2 in the first pixel column. The second end of the power connection electrode 18 is connected to the first region of the second active layer 22 in the second pixel column via a second via hole V2 in the second pixel column. The middle region between the first and second ends of the power connection electrode 18 is connected to the power connection block 54 via a seventh via hole V7. Since the power connection block 54 is connected to the first power line 51, the first power line 51 writes the first power signal to the first electrode of the second transistor T2.
[0287] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 can simultaneously provide a first power signal to four pixel driving circuits in the first and second pixel columns, thus forming a one-to-four structure within a repeating unit. By designing the first power line as a one-to-four structure, the display substrate of the present disclosure reduces the number of signal lines and space requirements, resulting in a simple structure and a rational layout, fully utilizing the layout space, improving space utilization, and facilitating higher resolution.
[0288] In an exemplary embodiment, the power connection electrode 18 can serve as a horizontal power connection line, and the orthographic projection of the power connection electrode 18 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the data signal line 52 on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the power connection electrode 18 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the compensation signal line 53 on the substrate.
[0289] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the compensation connection electrode 19 can be a strip shape extending along the first direction X, and can be arranged across the first pixel column and the second pixel column. The first end of the compensation connection electrode 19 is simultaneously connected to the first area of the third active layer 23 and the compensation signal line 53 in the first pixel column through the fourth via hole V4 in the first pixel column, and the second end of the compensation connection electrode 19 is simultaneously connected to the first area of the third active layer 23 and the compensation signal line 53 in the second pixel column through the fourth via hole V4 in the second pixel column, thereby realizing that the compensation signal line 53 writes the compensation signal into the first electrode of the third transistor T3.
[0290] In an exemplary embodiment, the two compensation signal lines 53 may include a first compensation signal line 53-1 and a second compensation signal line 53-2 sequentially arranged along the first direction X. The first compensation signal line 53-1 may be located in a first pixel column on a side opposite to the first direction X of the first power line 51, and may be connected to the first region of the third active layer 23 in the first subpixel P1 and the third subpixel P3, respectively, via the compensation connection electrode 19. The second compensation signal line 53-2 may be located in a second pixel column on a side of the first direction X of the first power line 51, and may be connected to the first region of the third active layer 23 in the second subpixel P2 and the fourth subpixel P4, respectively, via the compensation connection electrode 19.
[0291] In an exemplary embodiment, although the third active layers in the first and second subpixels P1 and P2 are unconnected, and the third active layers in the third and fourth subpixels P3 and P4 are unconnected, the present disclosure provides a compensation connection electrode 19 spanning the first and second pixel columns. The compensation connection electrode 19 can function as a transverse compensation connection line, enabling the first and second subpixels P1 and P2 to share a single compensation connection electrode 19, and the third and fourth subpixels P3 and P4 to share a single compensation connection electrode 19. Two compensation signal lines 53 can simultaneously provide compensation signals to the pixel drive circuits in the four subpixels. Consequently, the four pixel drive circuits in a repeating unit can share two compensation signal lines 53, forming a one-to-two compensation signal line structure within the repeating unit. By designing the compensation signal lines as a one-to-two structure, the display substrate of the present disclosure reduces the number of signal lines and the space occupied. This results in a simple structure, a rational layout, and full utilization of the layout space, improving space utilization and facilitating improved resolution.
[0292] In an exemplary embodiment, the present disclosure provides a compensation connection electrode 19 spanning the first and second pixel columns, forming a ring-shaped structure in the region where the compensation signal line 53 connects to the third transistor T3 in a repeating unit, thereby facilitating improved product yield. For example, if a short circuit occurs where the power connection electrode 18, acting as a lateral power connection line, crosses the compensation signal line 53, the short circuit can be repaired by severing one compensation signal line 53, thereby improving product yield. For another example, if a short circuit occurs where the compensation connection electrode 19 crosses the first power line 51, the short circuit can be repaired by severing one compensation connection electrode 19, thereby improving product yield.
[0293] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the compensation connection electrode 19 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the data signal line 52 on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the compensation connection electrode 19 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first power line 51 on the substrate.
[0294] In an exemplary embodiment, since the positions of the two compensation signal lines 53 are substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the vertical reference line, the third transistors T3 of the first pixel column and the third transistors T3 of the second pixel column are substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the vertical reference line. This symmetrical structure of the present disclosure can ensure that the RC delay of the compensation signal written into the third transistors T3 is substantially the same, thereby ensuring display uniformity.
[0295] (26) The subsequent process of forming the third insulating layer, the planar layer, the fourth conductive layer, the pixel definition layer, the organic light-emitting layer, the cathode and the encapsulation structure layer is basically the same as that of the aforementioned embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0296] In the display substrate provided by the disclosed embodiment, the first power line and compensation signal line are arranged in the middle of the repeating unit, and the data signal lines are arranged on both sides of the repeating unit, effectively balancing the distance distribution of the opaque metal signal lines between sub-pixels. Thus, the display substrate also has the technical effects of the aforementioned embodiments, namely, effectively increasing the aperture ratio, reducing the risk of pixel light leakage, effectively improving process accuracy, and effectively increasing product yield. Furthermore, by providing a separate third active layer for each sub-pixel, the orthographic projection of the third active layer on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first power line on the substrate. This effectively reduces the extended length of the semiconductor traces, effectively avoids the impact of conductor process differences on external compensation, ensures the accuracy of external compensation, and guarantees the display effect and quality. Furthermore, by providing a compensation connection electrode spanning the first pixel column and the second pixel column, the disclosed embodiment forms a ring structure in the area where the compensation signal line connects to the third transistor, facilitating short circuit repair and improving product yield.

The related connection structure is substantially the same as in the previous embodiment and will not be further described here.
[0299] In one exemplary embodiment, the compensation signal line 53 may be disposed on one side of the first power line 51 in the first direction X, that is, the compensation signal line 53 is disposed on a side of the second pixel column close to the first power line 51. In another exemplary embodiment, the compensation signal line 53 may be disposed on a side of the first power line 51 in the opposite direction of the first direction X, that is, the compensation signal line 53 is disposed on a side of the first pixel column close to the first power line 51.
[0300] In the exemplary embodiment, the shape and position of the compensation connection electrode 19 are substantially the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIG15 and FIG16 , except that the first end of the compensation connection electrode 19 is connected to the first area of the third active layer 23 in one pixel column and the compensation signal line 53 at the same time through the fourth via hole V4 in the pixel column, and the second end of the compensation connection electrode 19 is connected to the first area of the third active layer 23 in another pixel column through the fourth via hole V4 in the pixel column, thereby realizing that one compensation signal line 53 writes the compensation signal into the first electrodes of the four third transistors T3 in the two pixel columns, forming a one-to-four compensation signal line structure, saving the number of signal lines, reducing the occupied space, having a simple structure and a reasonable layout, making full use of the layout space, improving space utilization, and facilitating improved resolution.

In the first pixel column, a fourth distance L4 is defined between the right edge of the second electrode 62 on the side closest to the compensation signal line 53 and the left edge of the compensation signal line 53 on the side closest to the second electrode 62. In the second pixel column, a third distance L3 is defined between the left edge of the second electrode 62 on the side closest to the first power line 51 and the right edge of the first power line 51 on the side closest to the second electrode 62. The third distance L3 and the fourth distance L4 can both be greater than the minimum distance between the edge of the first power line 51 close to the compensation signal line 53 and the edge of the compensation signal line 53 close to the first power line 51, and the third distance L3 and the fourth distance L4 can be the dimensions in the first direction X.
[0303] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth distance L4 may be greater than or equal to 3 micrometers.
[0304] The present disclosure can effectively improve space utilization while ensuring external compensation accuracy by setting the distance between the storage capacitor and the first power line in the sub-pixel without compensation line, which is conducive to improving resolution.
[0305] The display substrate provided by the disclosed embodiment also has the technical effects of the aforementioned embodiments, namely, it can effectively increase the aperture ratio, reduce the risk of pixel light leakage, effectively improve process accuracy, and effectively improve product yield. In addition, by reducing one compensation signal line, the disclosed embodiment can effectively improve space utilization, which is conducive to improving resolution. By setting the distance between the storage capacitor and the first power line in different sub-pixels, the disclosed embodiment further improves space utilization and further improves resolution while ensuring the accuracy of external compensation.
