In specific implementation, it can be understood according to the structure of the pixel circuit and the driving circuit designed by the display panel 000 in the relevant technology to realize the display function.
[0055] The first transistor 20 and the second transistor 30 of this embodiment are formed on the substrate 10. The first transistor 20 includes a first active layer 201, a first gate 20G, a first source 20S and a first drain 20D. The first active layer 201 includes silicon, that is, the first transistor 20 is a silicon transistor. The silicon can be polysilicon deposited by a low temperature method, that is, LTPS (Low Temperature Poly-silicon) or low temperature polysilicon. The length of the channel region of the first transistor 20 is L1, wherein the channel region of the first transistor 20 is the region where the first active layer 201 of the first transistor 20 overlaps with the first gate 20G, and the length of the channel region of the first transistor 20 is the length of the channel region of the first transistor 20 in the current transmission direction between the first source 20S and the first drain 20D. The second transistor 30 includes a second active layer 301, a second gate 30G, a second source 30S and a second drain 30D.

The length of the channel region of the second transistor 30 is L2, wherein the channel region of the second transistor 30 is the region where the second active layer 301 of the second transistor 30 overlaps with the second gate 30G, and the length of the channel region of the second transistor 30 is the length of the channel region of the second transistor 30 in the current transmission direction between the second source 30S and the second drain 30D.
[0056] The display panel 000 provided in this embodiment is arranged in a direction Z perpendicular to the base substrate 10, the distance between the first gate 20G and the first active layer 201 is D1, and the first area S1=L1×D1; the distance between the second gate 30G and the second active layer 301 is D2, and the second area S2=L2×D2; and S1<S2. Optionally, the distance D1 between the first gate 20G and the first active layer 201 can be set to be smaller than the distance D2 between the second gate 30G and the second active layer 301, and the length L1 of the channel region of the first transistor 20 can be set to be smaller than the length L2 of the channel region of the second transistor 30. The distance D1 between the first gate 20G and the first active layer 201 can be set to be smaller than the distance D2 between the second gate 30G and the second active layer 301, and the length L1 of the channel region of the first transistor 20 is smaller than the length L2 of the channel region of the second transistor 30, so as to achieve that the first area S1 is smaller than the second area S2. Since the first transistor 20 of the present embodiment is a silicon transistor and the second transistor 30 is an oxide semiconductor transistor, the carrier migration rate of the first transistor 20 which is a silicon transistor is faster than that of the second transistor 30 which is an oxide semiconductor transistor, and the first active layer 201 of the first transistor 20 includes silicon, while the second active layer 301 of the second transistor 30 includes an oxide semiconductor, and the silicon transistor is not as sensitive to hydrogen elements, water oxygen, etc. in the external environment as the oxide semiconductor transistor, therefore, the distance D1 between the first gate 20G of the first transistor 20 and the first active layer 201 can be set to be smaller than the distance D2 between the second gate 30G of the second transistor 30 and the second active layer 301 (e.g., Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown); since the first transistor 20 of the silicon transistor has good response capability, in order to fully improve the PPI of the display panel 000, this embodiment utilizes the respective advantages of the silicon transistor and the oxide semiconductor transistor, and designs the lengths of the channel regions of the two types of transistors (L1 and L2) to be as small as possible, which is beneficial to saving circuit space, and further beneficial to improving the PPI (Pixels Per Inch, pixel density, indicating the number of pixels per inch) of the display panel 000. The present embodiment is arranged in a direction Z perpendicular to the base substrate 10 of the display panel 000, and the first area S1 is less than the second area S2, wherein the first area S1=L1×D1, the second area S2=L2×D2, the spacing between the first gate 20G of the first transistor 20 of the silicon transistor and the first active layer 201 is D1, and the spacing between the second gate 30G of the second transistor 30 of the oxide semiconductor transistor and the second active layer 301 is D2, so that the respective characteristics and advantages of the silicon transistor and the oxide semiconductor transistor can be fully utilized, while ensuring the stability and normal operation of the transistor, saving the space of the display panel and improving the PPI of the display panel, which is beneficial to improving the display quality of the display panel 000, making the display effect more superior and making the product more competitive.
[0057] It should be noted that the width and length of the channel region mentioned above and appearing later, where the length of the channel region refers to the dimension in the direction in which the carriers in the channel region migrate between the source and the drain, if this direction is defined as the second direction, then the width of the channel region refers to the dimension of the channel region in the third direction, where the second direction may be perpendicular to the third direction.
[0058] In addition, it should be noted that Figure 1-Figure 3 The planar structure of the display panel 000 and the cross-sectional structure of a local film layer are only exemplarily drawn. The structure included in the display panel 000 is not limited to this, and may also include other film layer structures that can realize the relevant functions of the display panel, such as various insulating layers, light-emitting layers, electrode layers (organic light-emitting display panel), etc. This embodiment is not described in detail here. During the specific implementation, the structure of the display panel in the related technology can be referred to for understanding.
[0059] In some optional embodiments, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4: is a circuit connection block diagram of the driving circuit provided in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the driving circuit 50 includes an input module 501, a logic transmission module 502 and an output module 503. The input module 501 is connected between the input terminal in and the logic transmission module 502, and the output module 503 is connected between the logic transmission module 502 and the output terminal out; the logic transmission module 502 is connected to the high level signal terminal VGH or the low level signal terminal VGL, and the output terminal out is connected to the pixel circuit 40; wherein,
[0060] The logic transmission module 502 includes the second transistor 30 or the input module 501 includes the second transistor 30 , and the output module 503 includes the first transistor 20 .
[0061] This embodiment explains that the driving circuit 50 can be a gate driving circuit, which is used to connect to the pixel circuit 40 through the scanning line G and provide a scanning driving signal to the pixel circuit 40. The driving circuit 50 may include an input module 501, a logic transmission module 502 and an output module 503. One end of the input module 501 is connected to the input terminal in of the driving circuit 50, and the other end is connected to the logic transmission module 502. The input terminal in can provide an input signal to the input module 501 by connecting a driving chip or a flexible circuit board; the logic transmission module 502 is connected to the high-level signal terminal VGH or the low-level signal terminal VGL, generally including a NAND gate and a NOR gate circuit, etc., which is usually a gating circuit of the high-level signal terminal VGH and the low-level signal terminal VGL; the other end of the logic transmission module 502 is connected to the output module 503, the output module 503 is connected to the output terminal out of the driving circuit 50, and the output terminal out is connected to the pixel circuit 40, so as to provide a scanning driving signal to the pixel circuit 40 through the driving circuit 50. In this embodiment, the logic transmission module 502 of the driving circuit 50 includes the second transistor 30, or the input module 501 of the driving circuit 50 includes the second transistor 30, and the output module 503 includes the first transistor 20. Since the first area S1 of the first transistor 20 is smaller than the second area S2 of the second transistor 30, the length L1 of the channel region of the first transistor 20 is set to be smaller, or the distance D1 between the first gate 20G and the first active layer 201 in the direction Z perpendicular to the base substrate 10 is smaller, both of which can make the first area S1 of the first transistor 20 smaller, thereby enabling the first transistor 20 to respond faster. In the driving circuit 50 provided in the present embodiment, for the input module 501 and the logic transmission module 502, especially the NAND gate and NOR gate circuit of the logic transmission module 502, it is usually a gating circuit of the high-level signal terminal VGH and the low-level signal terminal VGL. The gating circuit of the high-level signal terminal VGH and the low-level signal terminal VGL generally requires the transistor to have a lower leakage current in the off state, so as to avoid the influence of the leakage current of the transistor on the high-level signal and the low-level signal after the logic signal is transmitted, thereby affecting the normal transmission of the next node signal. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the logic transmission module 502 is set to include the second transistor 30 of the oxide semiconductor transistor, and the input module 501 includes the second transistor 30 of the oxide semiconductor transistor. The oxide semiconductor transistor has a lower leakage current in the off state, so it can be avoided that the gating of the high-level signal and the low-level signal after the logic signal transmission of the input module 501 and the logic transmission module 502 is affected due to the leakage current of other transistors, thereby affecting the normal transmission of the next node signal.The output module 503 of the driving circuit 50 is generally required to have a faster response speed and driving capability. Therefore, in this embodiment, the output module 503 includes a first transistor 20 of a silicon transistor. The first area S1 of the first transistor 20 is smaller and the response speed is faster, thereby ensuring the response and driving capability of the driving circuit 50 and avoiding problems such as signal delay in the display panel 000 due to the driving circuit 50.
[0062] It should be noted that this embodiment uses a block diagram to illustrate the connection structure of each module in the driving circuit 50. During specific implementation, the circuit connection structure inside each module of the driving circuit 50 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0063] In some optional embodiments, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 5 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a top view structure of a first transistor and a second transistor, Figure 6 yes Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the top view structure of the first transistor and the second transistor in the embodiment, in which the width of the channel region of the first transistor 20 is W1, the width of the channel region of the second transistor 30 is W2, the first volume V1=S1×W1, the second volume V2=S2×W2; wherein, V1>V2. The channel region of the first transistor 20 is the region where the first active layer 201 of the first transistor 20 overlaps with the first gate 20G, the length L1 of the channel region of the first transistor 20 is the length of the channel region of the first transistor 20 in the current transmission direction between the first source 20S and the first drain 20D, and the width W1 of the channel region of the first transistor 20 is the length of the channel region of the first transistor 20 in the direction perpendicular to the length of the channel region of the first transistor 20, that is, the length direction of the channel region of the first transistor 20 and the width direction of the channel region of the first transistor 20 are mutually opposite. vertical; the channel region of the second transistor 30 is the region where the second active layer 301 of the second transistor 30 overlaps with the second gate 30G, the length of the channel region of the second transistor 30 is the length of the channel region of the second transistor 30 in the current transmission direction between the second source 30S and the second drain 30D, and the width W2 of the channel region of the second transistor 30 is the length of the channel region of the second transistor 30 in the direction perpendicular to the length of the channel region of the second transistor 30, that is, the length direction of the channel region of the second transistor 30 and the width direction of the channel region of the second transistor 30 are perpendicular to each other.
[0064] This embodiment explains that the width of the channel region of the first transistor 20 of the silicon transistor is W1, the first volume V1=S1×W1, the width of the channel region of the second transistor 30 of the oxide semiconductor transistor is W2, the second volume V2=S2×W2, although the first area S1<the second area S2, but this embodiment sets the first volume V1>the second volume V2, so that by fully increasing the width W1 of the channel region of the first transistor 20 of the silicon transistor, that is, W1 / W2>S2 / S1, the ratio of the width W1 of the channel region of the first transistor 20 to the width W2 of the channel region of the second transistor 30 is greater than the ratio of the second area S2 to the first area S1, so that the first volume V1>the second volume V2, which can further ensure the responsiveness of the transistor of the output module 503 of the driving circuit 50 using the first transistor 20, and then ensure the output performance of the driving circuit 50, which is beneficial to improving the output effect.
[0065] In some optional embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 7 yes Figure 1 Another partial film layer cross-sectional structure diagram of area A in the middle. Figure 8 is a structural diagram of a pixel circuit 40 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the pixel circuit 40 includes a first transistor 20, and the first transistor 20 is a driving transistor of the pixel circuit 40, wherein D1 / D2<L1 / L2.
[0066] This embodiment explains that the pixel circuit 40 of the display pixel 400 may include a first transistor 20 of a silicon transistor, and the first transistor 20 may be a driving transistor of the pixel circuit 40. In the organic light-emitting display panel, the first transistor 20 as a driving transistor may be electrically connected to the light-emitting unit, and provide an anode voltage signal to the anode of each light-emitting unit, so that a certain driving electric field is formed between the anode and the cathode of the light-emitting unit, and the light-emitting layer is realized, thereby realizing the display function. Since the driving transistor of the pixel circuit 40 is responsible for writing the data of the pixel circuit 40, the accuracy of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor and the stability of the gate potential are very high. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately increase the spacing between the gate of the transistor and the active layer or appropriately increase the length of the channel region of the transistor, so as to obtain a more accurate threshold voltage and ensure the stability of the gate potential of the driving transistor. Therefore, in this embodiment, the driving transistor of the pixel circuit 40 is set to be the first transistor 20 of the silicon transistor, and the carrier migration rate of the silicon transistor is relatively large. When the first area S1 is ensured to be smaller than the second area S2, when the length L1 of the channel region of the first transistor 20 is set to increase more, it will not cause much impact on the response rate of the first transistor 20.

[0075] In some optional embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Fig.12 , Fig.13 In this embodiment, the third gate 20G2 of the first transistor 20 includes hydrogenated amorphous silicon.
[0076] This embodiment explains that the material of the third gate 20G2 of the first transistor 20 can be hydrogen-containing amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), so that hydrogen elements can be provided to the first active layer 201 of the first transistor 20 of the silicon transistor to repair defects in the first active layer 201.
[0077] In some optional embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Fig.12 , Fig.13 In this embodiment, the first transistor 20 is a driving transistor of the pixel circuit 40, wherein S3-S1<S4-S2.
[0078] This embodiment explains that the pixel circuit 40 of the display pixel 400 may include a first transistor 20 of a silicon transistor, and the first transistor 20 may be a driving transistor of the pixel circuit 40. In the organic light-emitting display panel, the first transistor 20 as a driving transistor may be electrically connected to the light-emitting unit, and provide an anode voltage signal to the anode of each light-emitting unit, so that a certain driving electric field is formed between the anode and the cathode of the light-emitting unit, so as to realize the light emission of the light-emitting layer, and then realize the display function.
[0079] In this embodiment, the difference between the third area S3 and the first area S1 is set to be smaller than the difference between the fourth area S4 and the second area S2, that is, the first transistor 20 and the second transistor 30 are both dual-gate structures, and the difference between the third area S3 defined by the bottom gate (third gate 20G2) of the first transistor 20 and the first area S1 defined by the top gate (first gate 20G) is S3-S1, and the difference between the fourth area S4 defined by the bottom gate (fourth gate 30G2) of the second transistor 30 and the second area S2 defined by the top gate (second gate 30G) is S4-S2. 2. The material of the bottom gate (third gate 20G2) of the first transistor 20 includes hydrogen-containing amorphous silicon, which can provide hydrogen elements for the first active layer 201 to repair defects in the first active layer 201, and can also play a shielding role to prevent the first transistor 20 from being interfered by other components in the display device. Therefore, the third area S3 defined by the bottom gate (third gate 20G2) of the first transistor 20 does not need to be set larger than the first area S1 defined by the top gate (first gate 20G), that is, the difference S3-S1 can be smaller. The material of the second active layer 301 of the second transistor 30 is an oxide semiconductor material, which is more sensitive than silicon material. In particular, when both the oxide semiconductor transistor and the silicon transistor are arranged in the display panel 000, because the silicon transistor is in an environment with a relatively high hydrogen content, in order to fully protect the oxide semiconductor transistor, after the second transistor 30 is set with a dual-gate structure, the fourth area S4 defined by its bottom gate (auxiliary gate-fourth gate 30G2) can be set larger, thereby improving the stability of the second transistor 30 while protecting the second active layer 301 of the second transistor 30 from the influence of hydrogen elements through the larger area of the fourth gate 30G2. Therefore, in this embodiment, S3-S1 is set to be less than S4-S2.
[0080] Furthermore, since the third gate 20G2 of the first transistor 20 of the present embodiment is mainly used to supplement hydrogen to the first active layer 201 of the first transistor 20 and to play a shielding role, in the direction Z perpendicular to the base substrate 10, the distance D3 between the third gate 20G2 and the first active layer 201 does not need to be set larger. As for the second transistor 30, in order to fully protect the oxide semiconductor transistor, the distance D2 between the second gate 30G and the second active layer 301 and the distance D4 between the fourth gate 30G2 and the second active layer 301 are generally set larger (that is, the thickness of the insulating layer between the second gate 30G and the second active layer 301 and the thickness of the insulating layer between the fourth gate 30G2 and the second active layer 301 are both thicker), so that the second transistor 30 can be fully protected, which is beneficial to improving the display quality.

Since the first transistor 20 of the present embodiment is a silicon transistor and the third transistor 60 is an oxide semiconductor transistor, the carrier migration rate of the first transistor 20 of the silicon transistor is faster than that of the third transistor 60 of the oxide semiconductor transistor, and the first active layer 201 of the first transistor 20 includes silicon, while the third active layer 601 of the third transistor 60 includes an oxide semiconductor, and the silicon transistor is not as sensitive to hydrogen elements, water oxygen, etc. in the external environment as the oxide semiconductor transistor, therefore, the distance D1 between the first gate 20G of the first transistor 20 and the first active layer 201 can be set to be smaller than the distance D5 between the fifth gate 60G of the third transistor 60 and the third active layer 601 (e.g., Fig.15As shown); since the first transistor 20 of the silicon transistor has good response capability, in order to fully improve the PPI of the display panel 000, this embodiment utilizes the respective advantages of the silicon transistor and the oxide semiconductor transistor, and designs the lengths of the channel regions of the two types of transistors (L1 and L5) to be as small as possible, which is beneficial to saving circuit space, and further beneficial to improving the PPI (Pixels Per Inch, pixel density, indicating the number of pixels per inch) of the display panel 000.

[0103] This embodiment explains that the pixel circuit 40 may also include a first capacitor C1 used as a storage capacitor for storing the data voltage transmitted to the gate of the third transistor 60. The sixth gate 60G2 (auxiliary gate) of the third transistor 60 is reused as a plate of the first capacitor C1. Since the sixth area S6 defined by the sixth gate 60G2 (auxiliary gate) of the third transistor 60 in the pixel circuit 40 is larger than the fourth area S4 defined by the fourth gate 30G2 (auxiliary gate) of the second transistor 30 in the driving circuit 50, the relative areas of the two plates of the first capacitor C1 can be made larger, which is beneficial to improving the storage capacity of the first capacitor C1, so that the storage capacitor has better storage capacity, and the driving effect of the pixel circuit 40 is improved.

In this embodiment, the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 is set to be greater than the capacitance value of the second capacitor C2. Since the first capacitor C1 is a storage capacitor in the pixel circuit 40, it needs to play a role in storing data voltage signals, and the ability to store data voltage signals directly determines the driving current of the light-emitting element in the display pixel 400. Therefore, for the first capacitor C1 used as a storage capacitor in the pixel circuit 40, a larger capacitance value is required, which can enable the first capacitor C1 to have a higher storage capacity. The second capacitor C2 in the driving circuit 50 is generally set to stabilize the node potential, and the storage capacity requirement is lower than the first capacitor C1 used as a storage capacitor in the pixel circuit 40.
