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.

Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0182] 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°.
[0183] 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."

[0196] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit may include a first node, a second node, and a third node. The first node is respectively connected to the first electrode of the third pixel transistor, the second electrode of the fourth pixel transistor, and the second electrode of the fifth pixel transistor, the second node is respectively connected to the second electrode of the first reset pixel transistor, the first electrode of the second pixel transistor, the control electrode of the third pixel transistor, and the second end of the storage capacitor, and the third node is respectively connected to the second electrode of the second pixel transistor, the second electrode of the third pixel transistor, and the first electrode of the sixth pixel transistor.
[0197] In an exemplary embodiment, a first end of the storage capacitor is connected to the first power line, and a second end of the storage capacitor is connected to the second node, that is, the second end of the storage capacitor is connected to the control electrode of the third pixel transistor.
[0198] The control electrode of the first pixel transistor is connected to the second scan signal line, the first electrode of the first pixel transistor is connected to the initialization signal line, and the second electrode of the first pixel transistor is connected to the second node. When an on-level scan signal is applied to the second scan signal line, the first pixel transistor transmits an initialization voltage to the control electrode of the third pixel transistor to initialize the charge amount of the control electrode of the third pixel transistor.
[0199] The control electrode of the second pixel transistor is connected to the first scan signal line, the first electrode of the second pixel transistor is connected to the second node, and the second electrode of the second pixel transistor is connected to the third node. When an on-level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line, the second pixel transistor connects the control electrode of the third pixel transistor to the second electrode.
[0200] The control electrode of the third pixel transistor is connected to the second node, that is, the control electrode of the third pixel transistor is connected to the second end of the storage capacitor, the first electrode of the third pixel transistor is connected to the first node, and the second electrode of the third pixel transistor is connected to the third node. The third pixel transistor can be called a driving pixel transistor. The third pixel transistor determines the magnitude of the driving current flowing between the first power line and the second power line based on the potential difference between the control electrode and the first electrode of the third pixel transistor.
[0201] A control electrode of the fourth pixel transistor is connected to the first scan signal line, a first electrode of the fourth pixel transistor is connected to the data signal line, and a second electrode of the fourth pixel transistor is connected to the first node. The fourth pixel transistor may be referred to as a switching pixel transistor, a scanning pixel transistor, etc. When an on-level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line, the fourth pixel transistor inputs a data voltage of the data signal line to the pixel driving circuit.

[0203] The control electrode of the seventh pixel transistor is connected to the first scan signal line, the first electrode of the seventh pixel transistor is connected to the initialization signal line, and the second electrode of the seventh pixel transistor is connected to the first electrode of the light-emitting device. When an on-level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line, the seventh pixel transistor transmits an initialization voltage to the first electrode of the light-emitting device to initialize or release the charge accumulated in the first electrode of the light-emitting device.
[0204] According to the characteristics of pixel transistors, pixel transistors can be divided into N-type pixel transistors and P-type pixel transistors. When the pixel transistor is a P-type pixel transistor, the turn-on voltage is a low-level voltage (for example, 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltages), and the turn-off voltage is a high-level voltage (for example, 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltages). When the pixel transistor is an N-type pixel transistor, the turn-on voltage is a high-level voltage (for example, 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltages), and the turn-off voltage is a low-level voltage (for example, 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltages).
[0205] In an exemplary embodiment, the first to seventh reset pixel transistors may be P-type pixel transistors or N-type pixel transistors. Using the same type of pixel transistors in the pixel drive circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel, and improve the product yield. In some possible implementations, the first to seventh reset pixel transistors may include P-type pixel transistors and N-type pixel transistors.
[0206] In an exemplary embodiment, the first reset pixel transistor to the seventh pixel transistor may be a low-temperature polysilicon thin-film pixel transistor, or an oxide thin-film pixel transistor, or a low-temperature polysilicon thin-film pixel transistor and an oxide thin-film pixel transistor. The active layer of the low-temperature polysilicon thin-film pixel transistor is made of low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS), and the active layer of the oxide thin-film pixel transistor is made of oxide semiconductor (Oxide). The low-temperature polysilicon thin-film pixel transistor has advantages such as high mobility and fast charging, and the oxide thin-film pixel transistor has advantages such as low leakage current. The low-temperature polysilicon thin-film pixel transistor and the oxide thin-film pixel transistor are integrated on a display substrate to form a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display substrate, which can take advantage of the advantages of both, achieve low-frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display quality.
[0207] In an exemplary embodiment, the first scan signal line, the second scan signal line, the light emitting signal line, and the initial signal line may extend in a horizontal direction, and the second power line, the first power line, and the data signal line may extend in a vertical direction.
[0208] In an exemplary embodiment, the light emitting device may be an organic light emitting diode (OLED) including a first electrode (anode), an organic light emitting layer, and a second electrode (cathode) stacked.
[0209] In an exemplary embodiment, the operation process of the pixel driving circuit may include:
[0210] The first phase, called the reset phase, has the signal on the second scan signal line at a low level, while the signals on the first scan signal line and the light-emitting signal line at a high level. The low level signal on the second scan signal line turns on the first transistor, and the signal on the initialization signal line is supplied to the second node, initializing (resetting) the storage capacitor and clearing the original charge in the storage capacitor. The high level signals on the first scan signal line and the light-emitting signal line turn off the second, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh transistors, resulting in no light emission during this phase.
[0211] In the second phase, known as the data writing phase or threshold compensation phase, the signal on the first scan signal line is a low-level signal, the signals on the second scan signal line and the light-emitting signal line are high-level signals, and the data signal line outputs a data voltage. During this phase, since the second end of the storage capacitor is at a low level, the third transistor is turned on. The low-level signal on the first scan signal line turns on the second, fourth, and seventh transistors. The second and fourth transistors are turned on, causing the data voltage output by the data signal line to be provided to the second node via the first node, the turned-on third transistor, the third node, and the turned-on second transistor. The difference between the data voltage output by the data signal line and the threshold voltage of the third transistor is charged into the storage capacitor. The voltage at the second end (second node) of the storage capacitor is Vdata-|Vth|, where Vdata is the data voltage output by the data signal line and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor. The seventh transistor is turned on, causing the initial voltage of the initial signal line to be provided to the first electrode, initializing (resetting) the first electrode, clearing the pre-stored voltage within it, completing initialization, and ensuring that it does not emit light. The signal on the second scan signal line is a high-level signal, turning off the first transistor. The signal of the light emitting signal line is a high level signal, which turns off the fifth transistor and the sixth transistor.
[0212] In the third phase, called the light-emitting phase, the signal on the light-emitting signal line is a low-level signal, while the signals on the first scanning signal line and the second scanning signal line are high-level signals. The low-level signal on the light-emitting signal line turns on the fifth and sixth transistors. The power supply voltage output from the first power supply line provides a driving voltage to the first electrode through the turned-on fifth, third, and sixth transistors, driving the light emission.
[0213] During the pixel driving circuit driving process, the driving current flowing through the third transistor (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its gate electrode and the first electrode. Since the voltage at the second node is Vdata-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor is: I=K*(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K*[(Vdata-Vdd] 2
[0214] Among them, I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor, that is, the driving current, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor, Vdata is the data voltage output by the data signal line, and Vdd is the power supply voltage output by the first power supply line.
[0215] It can be seen from the derivation results of the above current formula that in the light-emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor is no longer affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor, thereby eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor on the driving current, ensuring the uniform display brightness of the display product and improving the display effect of the entire display product.
[0216] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting device may include any one of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a quantum dot light-emitting diode, and an inorganic light-emitting diode. For example, the light-emitting device may be a micron-sized light-emitting device, such as a micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED), a sub-millimeter light-emitting diode (Mini LED), or a micro organic light-emitting diode (Micro OLED), etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. For example, taking the light-emitting device as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) as an example, the light-emitting device may include: a stacked first electrode (for example, as an anode), an organic light-emitting layer, and a second electrode (for example, as a cathode).
[0217] In an exemplary embodiment, the organic light-emitting layer may include an emissive layer (EML) and any one or more of the following layers: a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL). In an exemplary embodiment, one or more of the hole injection layer, hole transport layer, electron blocking layer, hole blocking layer, electron transport layer, and electron injection layer of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, and the emissive layers of adjacent sub-pixels may have a small overlap or may be isolated.
[0218] In the display market, most display substrates utilize low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology, which boasts advantages such as high resolution, high response speed, high brightness, and a high aperture ratio. Despite its popularity, LTPS technology also has drawbacks, such as high production costs and high power consumption. This is where low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) technology comes in. Compared to LTPS technology, LTPO offers lower leakage current and faster pixel response. The addition of an oxide layer to the display substrate reduces the energy required to excite the pixels, thereby reducing power consumption during screen display.
[0219] A display product includes a gate driver circuit and multiple sub-pixels. Each sub-pixel includes a pixel driver circuit. When the display product displays an image, the gate driver circuit generates a drive signal. Under control of the drive signal, the pixel driver circuit performs initialization and data writing, thereby achieving display. The display product refreshes its image at every frame, meaning the pixel driver circuit needs to be initialized and data written during each display frame. However, for some special images (e.g., off-screen display, static images, or images that are rarely updated), initialization and data writing to the pixel driver circuit are not required during at least some display frames. Low-leakage pixel driver circuits can maintain the original brightness. The gate driver circuit of the display product generates a drive signal for each frame, regardless of the image being displayed. This repeatedly initializes and writes data to the pixel driver circuit, resulting in high power consumption. The shift register includes multiple output transistors, some of which have their gate electrodes connected to the same node. This prevents the shift register from fully outputting output, or even if the shift register can fully output, the shift register consumes a lot of power, reducing its reliability.

The connection method of any capacitor among the first capacitor C1 to the sixth capacitor C6 includes but is not limited to the method described above, and can be other applicable connection methods, and the level of the corresponding node can be stored. Here, the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this.
[0273] In an exemplary embodiment, transistors can be classified into N-type transistors and P-type transistors according to their characteristics. When the transistor is a P-type transistor, the turn-on voltage is a low voltage (e.g., 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltages), and the turn-off voltage is a high voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltages). When the transistor is an N-type transistor, the turn-on voltage is a high voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltages), and the turn-off voltage is a low voltage (e.g., 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltages).
[0274] In an exemplary embodiment, the first to twenty-sixth transistors T1 to T26 are all P-type transistors.
[0275] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal at the latch signal terminal MS may be a low level signal or a high level signal. When the signal at the latch signal terminal MS is a low level signal, it may be -20V to -5V; when the signal at the latch signal terminal MS is a high level signal, it may be 5V to 20V.
[0276] In an exemplary embodiment, the signals of the first power terminal VH1 and the third power terminal VH2 may be high level signals, for example, 5V to 10V; the signals of the second power terminal VL1 and the fourth power terminal VL2 may be low level signals, for example, -10V to -5V.
[0277] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal at either the first clock signal terminal CK or the second clock signal terminal CB is a square wave signal that repeats a high voltage and a low voltage. For example, the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK and the second clock signal terminal CB may have the same period and may be configured as phase-shifted signals. Here, the signal at the second clock signal terminal CB may be phase-shifted by half a period compared to the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK. The high voltage period in each period of the signal at either the first clock signal terminal CK or the second clock signal terminal CB may be set to be longer than the low voltage period.
[0278] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth power supply terminal NCX provides a low-level signal during the power-on initialization phase to prevent the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 of the final-stage control shift register from being simultaneously turned on due to output signal delay. Alternatively, the fifth power supply terminal NCX provides a low-level signal during the abnormal shutdown phase to prevent the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 from being simultaneously turned on. The fifth power supply terminal NCX continuously provides a high-level signal during the normal display phase, meaning that the thirteenth transistor T13 is turned off during the normal display phase.
[0279] In the exemplary embodiment, due to the presence of the latch signal terminal MS, the outputs of the shift sub-circuit and the output sub-circuit are independent. The working processes of the shift sub-circuit and the output sub-circuit are now described separately.
[0280] In the exemplary embodiment, the first power supply terminal VH1 continuously provides a high-level signal, and the second power supply terminal VL1 continuously provides a low-level signal. Since the second power supply terminal VL1 continuously provides a low-level signal, the eleventh transistor T11, the twelfth transistor T12, and the fifteenth transistor T15 in Figures 58 and 59 are continuously turned on, and the eighth transistor T8 in Figure 61 is continuously turned on.
[0281] Figure 66 is a timing diagram of the operation of the shift sub-circuit provided in Figures 58 and 59. Figure 66 takes the example of the first transistor T1 to the sixteenth transistor T16 being P-type transistors. As shown in Figure 66, the operation process of the shift sub-circuit provided in Figure 58 may include the following stages:
[0282] In the first phase A1, the signals at the signal input terminal IN and the second clock signal terminal CB are high level signals, the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK is low level signal, the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3 and the fourteenth transistor T14 are turned on, and the seventh transistor T7 is turned off.
[0283] The first transistor T1 is turned on, transmitting the high-level signal from the signal input terminal IN to the third node N3. The twelfth transistor T12 is turned on, transmitting the high-level signal from the third node N3 to the ninth node N9. The fourteenth and fifteenth transistors T14 and T15 are turned on, transmitting the high-level signal from the signal input terminal IN to the second node N2. The fourth and sixteenth transistors T4 and T16 are turned off. The third and eleventh transistors T3 and T11 are turned on, transmitting the low-level signal from the second power supply terminal VL2 to the sixth and tenth nodes N6 and N10, respectively. The fifth and sixth transistors T5 and T6 are turned on, writing the high-level signal from the first power supply terminal VH1 to the fifth node N5 and the high-level signal from the second clock signal terminal CB to the first node N1. Since the seventh transistor T7 is turned off, the signal from the first node N1 is not written to the fourth node N4 and remains at a low-level signal.

[0315] In the third sub-phase C43 , the signals of the first clock signal terminal CK, the second clock signal CB and the signal input terminal IN are all high-level signals, and the first transistor T1 , the third transistor T3 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned off.
[0316] The third node N3 and the ninth node N9 still maintain high-level signals, the second transistor T2 is turned off, and the high-level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK cannot be written to the fourth node N4.

[0317] As shown in FIG67 , when the output signal of the cascade signal output terminal OUTC is a high level signal, the fourth node N4 is a low level signal. When the output signal of the cascade signal output terminal OUTC is a low level signal, the third node N3 is a low level signal.
[0318] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG63 , when the signal at the cascade signal output terminal OUTC in the shift register is a low-level signal, the signals at the second node N2, the third node N3, and the ninth node N9 are also low-level signals, the tenth transistor T10 is turned on, and the signal at the second power supply terminal VL1 is written to the cascade signal output terminal OUTC. Because the signal at the second node N2 is a low-level signal, the sixteenth transistor T16 and the seventeenth transistor T17 are turned on, the signal at the sixth node N6 is a low-level signal, the twenty-fourth transistor T24 and the twenty-sixth transistor T26 are turned on, the signal at the fourth power supply terminal VL2 is written to the drive signal output terminal OUT, and the high-level signal at the third power supply terminal VH2 is written to the eighth node N8. The twenty-fifth transistor T25 is turned off, and the high-level signal at the third power supply terminal VH2 cannot be written to the drive signal output terminal OUT. In other words, the signal at the cascade signal output terminal OUTC in the shift register is a low-level signal, and the drive signal output terminal OUT also outputs a low-level signal.
[0319] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG64 , when the signal at the cascade signal output terminal OUTC in the shift register is a low-level signal, the signals at the second node N2 and the third node N3 are also low-level signals, the tenth transistor T10 is turned on, and the signal at the second power supply terminal VL1 is written to the cascade signal output terminal OUTC. Since the signal at the second node N2 is a low-level signal, the seventeenth transistor T17 is turned on, the signal at the sixth node N6 is a low-level signal, the twenty-fourth transistor T24 and the twenty-sixth transistor T26 are turned on, the signal at the fourth power supply terminal VL2 is written to the drive signal output terminal OUT, and the high-level signal at the third power supply terminal VH2 is written to the eighth node N8. The twenty-fifth transistor T25 is turned off, and the high-level signal at the third power supply terminal VH2 cannot be written to the drive signal output terminal OUT. In other words, the signal at the cascade signal output terminal OUTC in the shift register is a low-level signal, and the drive signal output terminal OUT also outputs a low-level signal.
[0320] In an exemplary embodiment, in the shift register provided in Figures 63 and 64, when the signal at the cascade signal output terminal in the shift register is a high-level signal, the signal at the fourth node N4 is a low-level signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is turned on. Due to the presence of the twenty-first transistor T21, the signal at the fourth node N4 will not be directly written to the twenty-fifth transistor T25, and the gate electrode of the twenty-first transistor T21 is determined by the nineteenth transistor T19, the twentieth transistor T20 and the fifth capacitor C5.
[0321] In the exemplary embodiment, in the shift register shown in FIG65 , when the signal at the cascade signal output terminal of the shift register is a high-level signal, the signal at the fourth node N4 is a low-level signal, and the fourth transistor T4 is turned on. Due to the presence of the twenty-first transistor T21, the signal at the fourth node N4 is not directly written to the twenty-fifth transistor T25. The gate electrode of the twenty-first transistor T21 is determined by the nineteenth transistor T19, the twentieth transistor T20, and the fifth capacitor C5, which can be referred to as a latch sub-circuit. In the shift register shown in FIG65 , when the signal at the cascade signal output terminal of the shift register is a low-level signal, the signal at the third node N3 is a low-level signal, and the fifth transistor T5 is turned on. Due to the presence of the eighteenth transistor T18, the signal at the third node N3 is not directly written to the twenty-sixth transistor T26. The gate electrode of the eighteenth transistor T18 is determined by the nineteenth transistor T19, the twentieth transistor T20, and the fifth capacitor C5.
[0322] In an exemplary embodiment, the nineteenth transistor T19, the twentieth transistor T20, and the fifth capacitor C5 can be referred to as a latch sub-circuit. The gate electrode of the nineteenth transistor T19 is electrically connected to the second control signal terminal V2 (also the first node of the previous shift register), and the gate electrode of the twentieth transistor T20 is connected to the cascade signal output terminal OUTC. When the signal at the cascade signal output terminal OUTC and the signal at the first node of the previous shift register are both low-level signals, the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twentieth transistor T20 are turned on, and the signal at the latch signal terminal MS is written to the seventh node N7 and the fifth capacitor C5, thereby controlling whether the eighteenth transistor T18 and the twentieth transistor T21 are turned on. Whether the twenty-first transistor T21 is turned on determines whether the signal at the fourth node N4 is written to the eighth node N8, that is, whether the twenty-fifth transistor T25 is turned on. Whether the twenty-fifth transistor T25 is turned on determines whether the signal at the third power supply terminal VH3 is written to the drive signal output terminal. Whether the eighteenth transistor T18 is turned on determines whether the signal of the third node N3 is written into the sixth node N6, that is, whether the twenty-fifth transistor T25 is turned on. Whether the twenty-fifth transistor T25 is turned on determines whether the signal of the fourth power supply terminal VHL is written into the driving signal output terminal OUT.
[0323] In an exemplary embodiment, the twenty-second transistor T22 and the twenty-third transistor T23 can be referred to as an initial stabilization unit. During the power-on initialization phase, the fifth power supply terminal NCX is a low-level signal, the twenty-second transistor T22 is turned on, and since the display substrate is not displaying at this time, the signal at the fourth node N4 is a high-level signal. The signal at the fourth power supply terminal VL2 is written to the seventh node N7, the twenty-first transistor T21 is turned on, the high-level signal at the fourth node N4 is written to the eighth node N8, and the twenty-fifth transistor T25 is turned off, thereby preventing the drive signal output terminal from outputting a high-level signal to the pixel drive circuit. Furthermore, during the power-on initialization phase, the cascade signal output terminal OUTC outputs a low-level signal, the signal at the first control signal terminal V1 (also the fifth node N5) is a low-level signal, the twenty-third transistor T23 is turned on, the signal at the fourth power supply terminal VL2 is written to the seventh node N7, the signal at the latch signal terminal MS pre-stored in the latch sub-circuit is replaced by the signal at the fourth power supply terminal VL2, the twenty-first transistor T21 is turned on, the high-level signal at the fourth node N4 is written to the eighth node N8, and the twenty-fifth transistor T25 is turned off. The initial stabilization unit prevents the drive signal output terminal from outputting a high-level signal to the pixel drive circuit during the power-on initialization phase. The initial stabilization unit ensures that at least one shift register stage has no leakage during the power-on initialization phase, thereby improving the reliability of the shift register.
[0324] In an exemplary embodiment, the drive signal output terminal of the shift register is primarily used to control at least one transistor in a pixel drive circuit of a display substrate. When the display substrate is in a refresh frame, the drive signal output terminal outputs a high-level signal for a period of time, and a low-level signal for the remainder of the frame, thereby refreshing the data voltage. When the display substrate is not in a refresh frame, the drive signal output terminal continuously outputs a low-level signal.
[0325] Figure 6 is a timing diagram of the operation of a portion of the shift register. The following describes the operating principle of the shift registers provided by the present disclosure, using the shift registers shown in Figures 5A and 5B as an example, in conjunction with the signal timing diagram shown in Figure 6, to control the display panel to achieve different refresh rates in different areas. Figure 6 illustrates this using the first four stages of the shift register as an example.
[0326] The signal timing diagram shown in FIG6 is only an example of the first four-stage shift register. For example, when the area corresponding to the second row of sub-pixels and the third row of sub-pixels in the display substrate is a low refresh rate area, and the first row of sub-pixels and the fourth row of sub-pixels are a high refresh rate area, when the signal at the cascade signal output terminal OUTC(1) of the first stage shift register and the signal at the first node of the previous stage shift register are both low level signals (at time t1), the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twentieth transistor T20 are both turned on, that is, at time t1, the low level signal at the latch signal terminal MS is latched in the fifth capacitor C5, and the signal at the cascade signal output terminal OUTC(1) of the first stage shift register is turned on. 1) When outputting a high level (at time T1'), since the fifth capacitor C5 maintains the low level signal of the latch signal terminal MS at time t1, the twenty-first transistor T21 and the twenty-fifth transistor T25 are turned on. Then, at time T1', the drive signal output terminal OUT(1) of the first-stage shift register outputs a high level signal of the third power supply terminal VH3, thereby achieving a high refresh rate of the first row of sub-pixels in the display area; the maintenance time of the high level signal outputted by the drive signal output terminal OUT(1) of the first-stage shift register from the third power supply terminal VH3 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the duration of the high level signal outputted by the drive signal output terminal OUT(1) of the first-stage shift register from the third power supply terminal VH3 can overlap with the duration of the high level signal outputted by the drive signal output terminal OUT(4) of the fourth-stage shift register from the third power supply terminal VH3, thereby precharging the pixel drive circuit corresponding to the drive signal output terminal OUT(4) of the fourth-stage shift register. Similarly, the duration of the output level signal of the drive signal output terminal OUT(n) of the other-stage shift register is similar and will not be described in detail.
[0327] As shown in FIG6 , when the signal of the cascade signal output terminal OUTC(2) of the second-stage shift register and the signal of the first node of the first-stage shift register are both low-level signals (at time t2), the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twentieth transistor T20 are both turned on, that is, the high-level signal of the latch signal terminal MS is latched in the fifth capacitor C5 at time t2; when the cascade signal output terminal OUTC(2) of the second-stage shift register outputs a high-level signal (at time T2′), since the fourth capacitor C4 maintains the high-level signal of the latch signal terminal MS at time t2, the twenty-fifth transistor T25 is turned off and the twenty-sixth transistor T26 is turned on. Then, at time T2′, the driving signal output terminal OUT(2) of the second-stage shift register outputs a low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VL2, thereby realizing a low refresh rate for the second row of sub-pixels in the display area.
[0328] As shown in FIG6 , when the signal of the cascade signal output terminal OUTC (3) of the third-stage shift register and the signal of the first node of the second-stage shift register are both low-level signals (at time t3), the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twentieth transistor T20 are both turned on, that is, the high-level signal of the latch signal terminal MS is latched in the fifth capacitor C5 at time t3; when the cascade signal output terminal OUTC (3) of the third-stage shift register outputs a high-level signal (at time T3′), since the fourth capacitor C4 maintains the high-level signal of the latch signal terminal MS at time t3, the twenty-fifth transistor T25 is turned off and the twenty-sixth transistor T26 is turned on, and at time T3′, the drive signal output terminal OUT (3) of the third-stage shift register outputs a low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VL2, thereby realizing a low refresh rate of the third row of sub-pixels in the display area;
[0329] As shown in FIG6 , when the signal of the cascade signal output terminal OUTC(4) of the fourth-stage shift register and the signal of the first node of the third-stage shift register are both low-level signals (at time t4), the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twentieth transistor T20 are both turned on, that is, the low-level signal of the latch signal terminal MS is latched in the fifth capacitor C5 at time t4. When the cascade signal output terminal OUTC(4) of the fourth-stage shift register outputs a high-level signal (at time T4′), since the fourth capacitor C4 maintains the low-level signal of the latch signal terminal MS at time t4, the twenty-first transistor T21 and the twenty-fifth transistor T25 are turned on. At time T4′, the drive signal output terminal OUT(4) of the fourth-stage shift register outputs a high-level signal of the third power supply terminal VH2, thereby achieving a high refresh rate for the fourth row of sub-pixels in the display area.
[0330] Therefore, when a certain area of the display substrate requires a low refresh rate, a high-level signal is input through the latch signal terminal MS, and the driving signal output terminal continuously outputs a low-level signal so that part of the transistors of the pixel driving circuit in the corresponding display substrate are cut off. The data voltage in the display substrate is not charged, and the state of the previous frame is maintained, thereby achieving a low refresh rate in this area.

[0379] The following is an illustrative explanation of the preparation process of the display substrate. The "patterning process" mentioned in the present disclosure includes processes such as coating photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, and stripping photoresist for metal materials, inorganic materials, or transparent conductive materials, and includes processes such as coating organic materials, mask exposure, and development for organic materials. Deposition can be carried out by any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition, coating can be carried out by any one or more of spraying, spin coating, and inkjet printing, and etching can be carried out by any one or more of dry etching and wet etching, and the present disclosure does not limit this. "Thin film" refers to a thin film made by deposition, coating, or other processes on a substrate of a certain material. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire production process, the "thin film" can also be called a "layer". If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire production process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern". As used in this disclosure, "A and B are disposed in the same layer" means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer refers to the dimension of the film layer in a direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A contains the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary of the orthographic projection of A, or that the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.
