[0117] This exemplary embodiment first provides a pixel driving circuit, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a structural diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the pixel driving circuit disclosed in the present invention, and Figure 2 is a timing diagram of some nodes in an exemplary embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown in Figure 1.
[0118] The pixel driving circuit may include: a driving transistor T3, a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, a sixth transistor T6, a seventh transistor T7, an eighth transistor T8, and a capacitor C. A first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data signal terminal Da, a second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3, and a gate of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second gate driving signal terminal G2; a first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power supply terminal VDD, a second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3, and a gate of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the enable signal terminal EM; a gate of the driving transistor T3 is connected to a node N; a first electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the node N, a second electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T3, and a gate of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first gate driving signal terminal G1; a first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T3, and a second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the seventh transistor T8.

This pixel driving circuit can be used to drive a light-emitting unit OLED. The first electrode of the light-emitting unit OLED can be connected to the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6, and the second electrode of the light-emitting unit can be connected to the second power supply terminal VSS. The first electrode of the light-emitting unit can be the anode of the light-emitting unit, and the second electrode of the light-emitting unit can be the cathode of the light-emitting unit. The second transistor T2 may be an N-type transistor, for example, an N-type metal oxide transistor. N-type transistors have a relatively low leakage current, thereby preventing leakage of power from the node N through the second transistor T2 during the light-emitting phase. Meanwhile, the first transistor T1, the driving transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 may be P-type transistors, for example, P-type low-temperature polysilicon transistors. P-type transistors have a relatively high carrier mobility, thereby facilitating the realization of display panels with high resolution, high response speed, high pixel density, and high aperture ratio.The first initial signal terminal, the second initial signal terminal, and the third initial signal terminal can output the same or different voltage signals according to actual conditions.
[0119] As shown in Figure 2, where G1 represents the timing of the first gate drive signal terminal G1, G2 represents the timing of the second gate drive signal terminal G2, Re2 represents the timing of the second reset signal terminal Re2, Re1 represents the timing of the first reset signal terminal Re1, and EM represents the timing of the enable signal terminal EM, a driving cycle of the pixel driving circuit may include a first reset phase t1, a second reset phase t2, a data writing phase t3, a third reset phase t5, and a light-emitting phase t6.
[0120] During the first reset phase t1, the second reset signal terminal Re2 outputs a low-level signal, the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, the second initial signal terminal Vinit2 inputs a second initial signal to the first electrode of the light-emitting unit OLED, and the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 inputs a third initial signal to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3 to improve the hysteresis problem of the driving transistor T3. During the second reset phase t2, the first gate drive signal terminal G1 outputs a high-level signal, the first reset signal terminal Re1 outputs a low-level signal, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and the first initial signal terminal Vinit1 inputs the first initial signal to the node N through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2. During the data writing phase t3, the second gate drive signal terminal G2 outputs a low-level signal, the first gate drive signal terminal G1 outputs a high-level signal, the fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and the data signal terminal Da writes the compensation voltage Vdata+Vth to the node N through the fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2, where Vdata is the voltage of the data signal on the data signal terminal and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3. In the third reset phase t5: the second reset signal terminal RE2 outputs a low-level signal, the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, the second initial signal terminal Vinit2 inputs the second initial signal to the first electrode of the light-emitting unit OLED, and the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 inputs the third initial signal to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3. In the light-emitting phase t6: the enable signal terminal EM outputs a low-level signal, the sixth transistor T6 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, and the driving transistor T3 drives the light-emitting unit to emit light under the action of the compensation voltage Vdata + Vth stored in the capacitor C. The output current formula of the driving transistor is as follows: I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vgs-Vth) 2
[0121] Where I is the output current of the driver transistor; μ is the carrier mobility; Cox is the gate capacitance per unit area, W is the width of the driver transistor channel, L is the length of the driver transistor channel, Vgs is the gate-source voltage difference of the driver transistor, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driver transistor. The output current of the driver transistor in the above pixel driving circuit is I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vdata+Vth-Vdd-Vth) 2 The pixel driving circuit can avoid the influence of the driving transistor threshold on its output current.
[0122] In related art, the display quality of a display panel can be improved by increasing the number of high-level pulse signals at the enable signal terminal EM within a driving cycle of a pixel driving circuit. In related art, the enable signal terminal is provided via an enable signal line. A large parasitic capacitance is formed between the third initial signal line used to provide the third initial signal terminal and the enable signal line. When the number of pulse signals on the enable signal line is large, the enable signal line will couple with the third initial signal line, causing the voltage on the third initial signal line to fluctuate frequently, thereby causing problems such as horizontal stripes on the display panel or poor split-screen performance.

The first conductive portion 11 can be used to form the gate of the drive transistor T3 and the first electrode of the capacitor C. The display panel can use the first conductive layer as a mask to conduct conductor processing on the first active layer, that is, the area of the first active layer covered by the first conductive layer can form the channel region of the transistor, and the area of the first active layer not covered by the first conductive layer forms a conductor structure.
[0126] As shown in Figures 3, 6, and 13, the second conductive layer may include: a third gate line 2G1 and a second conductive portion 22. The orthographic projection of the third gate line 2G1 on the base substrate extends along the first direction X, and the third gate line 2G1 can be used to provide the first gate drive signal terminal in Figure 1. The orthographic projection of the second conductive portion 22 on the base substrate can at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 11 on the base substrate, and the second conductive portion 22 is used to form a second electrode of the capacitor C. The second conductive layer may also include a second connecting portion 23, and adjacent second conductive portions 22 in the first direction X can be connected via the second connecting portion 23.
[0127] As shown in Figures 3, 7, and 14, the second active layer may include an active portion 9, which may include: a second active portion 92, a seventeenth active portion 917 connected to both ends of the second active portion 92, and an eighteenth active portion 918. The second active portion 92 is used to form the channel region of the second transistor T2.

The orthographic projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 on the substrate can at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first reset signal line Re1 in the pixel driving circuit in the adjacent next row. This arrangement can improve the light transmittance and integration of the display panel. In addition, the display panel can use the third conductive layer as a mask to perform a conductor processing on the second active layer. Specifically, the area of the second active layer covered by the third conductive layer can form the channel region of the transistor, and the area of the second active layer not covered by the third conductive layer forms a conductor structure.

The second bridge portion 42 may be connected to the ninth active portion 79, the eighteenth active portion 918, and the nineteenth active portion 719 through vias, respectively, to connect the second electrode of the first transistor T1, the second electrode of the second transistor T2, and the second electrode of the driving transistor T3. The third bridge portion 43 connects the twentieth active portion 720 and the first initial signal line Vinit1 through vias, thereby connecting the first electrode of the first transistor T1 to the first initial signal terminal. The fourth bridge portion 44 connects the fourteenth active portion 714 and the second initial signal line Vinit2 through vias, thereby connecting the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 to the second initial signal line.

The eighth bridge portion 48 connects the sixteenth active portion 716 through vias, thereby connecting the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 to the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6.
[0130] As shown in Figures 3, 9, and 16, the orthographic projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 on the substrate extends along a first direction X. The third initial signal line Vinit3 includes a first extension portion Vinit31, a second extension portion Vinit32, and a third extension portion Vinit33. The third extension portion Vinit33 is connected between the first extension portion Vinit31 and the second extension portion Vinit32. The orthographic projection of the first extension portion Vinit31 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second extension portion Vinit32 on the substrate extend along the first direction X and are offset in the second direction Y. The orthographic projection of the first extension portion Vinit31 on the substrate does not intersect with the orthographic projection of the enable signal line EM on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the second extension portion Vinit32 on the substrate does not intersect with the orthographic projection of the enable signal line EM on the substrate. This setting can reduce the overlapping area between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the enable signal line EM, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the enable signal line EM, and further improving problems such as horizontal stripes on the display panel or poor screen splitting caused by voltage changes on the third initial signal line Vinit3.
[0131] As shown in Figures 3, 9, and 16, the orthographic projection of the enable signal line EM on the base substrate is located between the orthographic projection of the first extension portion Vinit31 on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the second extension portion Vinit32 on the base substrate, and the orthographic projection of the third extension portion Vinit33 on the base substrate may intersect with the orthographic projection of the enable signal line EM on the base substrate.
[0132] In this exemplary embodiment, the enable signal line EM is located in the first conductive layer. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the enable signal line EM may also be located in other conductive layers. For example, the enable signal line EM may be connected to the gate of the fifth transistor through a via.
[0133] In this exemplary embodiment, in the same pixel driving circuit, the orthographic projection of the first extension portion Vinit31 on the base substrate may be located between the orthographic projection of the enable signal line EM on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the first bridge portion 41 on the base substrate.
[0134] In this exemplary embodiment, in the same pixel driving circuit, at least a portion of the orthogonal projection of the second extension portion Vinit32 on the substrate is located on a side of the orthogonal projection of the second reset signal line Re2 on the substrate that is away from the orthogonal projection of the enable signal line EM on the substrate. This arrangement can reduce the coupling effect of the second reset signal line Re2 on the second extension portion Vinit32.
[0135] In this exemplary embodiment, in the same pixel driving circuit, in the first direction X, the orthographic projection of at least part of the third extending portion Vinit33 on the base substrate is located between the orthographic projections of the sixth active portion 76 and the eighth active portion 78 on the base substrate.
[0136] As shown in Figures 3, 10, and 17, the fifth conductive layer may include: a ninth bridge portion, a first connection portion 51, a tenth bridge portion 510, an eleventh conductive portion 511, a twelfth bridge portion 512, and a first fan-out line FIPH. The orthographic projection of the first fan-out line FIPH on the substrate may extend along the first direction X, and the first fan-out line FIPH may serve as a row-direction fan-out line connecting the data line in the FIP (Fanout In Pixel, fan-out area in a pixel). The ninth bridge portion may be connected to the seventh bridge portion 47 through a via to connect to the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5. The fifth conductive layer includes a plurality of ninth bridge portions 59 and a plurality of first connection portions 51. The plurality of ninth bridge portions 59 are distributed in the first direction X and the second direction Y. The first connection portion 51 is connected between two adjacent ninth bridge portions 59 in the first direction X. The tenth bridge portion 510 may be connected to the fifth bridge portion 45 through a via to connect to the first electrode of the fourth transistor. The twelfth bridge portion 512 can be connected to the eighth bridge portion 48 via a via, thereby connecting to the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6. A portion of the eleventh conductive portion 511 can be connected to the same layer as the first fan-out line FIPH. The first fan-out line FIPH can be connected to the column-direction data fan-out line via the eleventh conductive portion 511. The portion of the eleventh conductive portion 511 can be spaced apart from the first fan-out line FIPH. The column-direction data fan-out line can also be connected to the portion of the eleventh conductive portion 511 via a via. The portion of the eleventh conductive portion 511 can ensure uniform light reflection and light transmission properties at different locations on the display panel.
[0137] As shown in Figures 3 and 11, the sixth conductive layer may include: a data line Da, a first power line VDD, a second fan-out line FIPV, and a thirteenth bridge portion 613. The orthographic projections of the data line Da, the first power line VDD, and the second fan-out line FIPV on the base substrate may extend along the second direction Y. The data line Da is used to provide the data signal terminal shown in Figure 1, and the first power line VDD is used to provide the first power terminal shown in Figure 1. The data line Da may be connected to the tenth bridge portion 510 via a via to connect the data signal terminal to the first electrode of the fourth transistor. There may be multiple first power lines VDD, with the orthographic projections of the multiple first power lines VDD on the base substrate extending along the second direction Y and spaced apart along the first direction X. The first power line VDD may be connected to the ninth bridge portion intersecting with its orthographic projection on the base substrate via a via. The first power line VDD and the ninth bridge portion 59 connected in the first direction X may form a grid structure. This arrangement can reduce the voltage difference between the first power lines at different locations on the display panel, thereby improving the display uniformity of the display panel.
[0138] The second fan-out line FIPV can be used as a column-direction fan-out line connecting the data line in the FIP (Fanout In Pixel). The second fan-out line FIPV can be connected to the eleventh conductive portion 511 through a via. The thirteenth bridge portion 613 can be connected to the twelfth bridge portion 512 through a via. The thirteenth bridge portion 613 can also be connected to the first electrode of the light-emitting unit.
[0139] As shown in Figures 3 and 11 , the orthographic projection of the ninth bridge portion 59 on the substrate can overlap the orthographic projection of the second active portion 92 on the substrate. The ninth bridge portion 59 can reduce the impact of light on the characteristics of the second transistor T2. The orthographic projection of the ninth bridge portion 59 on the substrate can also at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first bridge portion 41 on the substrate. The ninth bridge portion 59 can shield the first bridge portion 41 from noise interference from other signals, thereby improving the stability of the gate voltage of the driving transistor T3.
[0140] As shown in Figures 3 and 11 , the orthographic projection of the first power line VDD on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the third extension portion Vinit33 on the substrate both extend along the second direction Y, and the orthographic projection of the first power line VDD on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the third extension portion Vinit33 on the substrate do not overlap. This arrangement can reduce parasitic capacitance between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the first power line VDD, thereby reducing the effect of mutual coupling between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the first power line VDD.
[0141] As shown in Figures 3, 9, and 11, the first extension Vinit31 includes a first sub-extension Vinit311 and a second sub-extension Vinit312. The orthographic projection of the first sub-extension Vinit311 on the substrate in the second direction Y is smaller than the orthographic projection of the second sub-extension Vinit312 on the substrate in the second direction Y. The orthographic projection of the first power line VDD on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first sub-extension Vinit311 on the substrate. This arrangement can further reduce parasitic capacitance between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the first power line VDD.
[0142] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 3, 16, and 17, the black squares drawn on the side of the fourth conductive layer facing away from the substrate represent vias connecting the fourth conductive layer to other layers facing the substrate; the black squares drawn on the side of the fifth conductive layer facing away from the substrate represent vias connecting the fifth conductive layer to other layers facing the substrate; and the black squares drawn on the side of the sixth conductive layer facing away from the substrate represent vias connecting the sixth conductive layer to other layers facing the substrate. Different vias represented by black squares in different locations can penetrate different insulating layers.
[0143] FIG18 is a partial cross-sectional view of the display panel shown in FIG3 taken along dotted line BB. The display panel may further include a buffer layer 101, a second insulating layer 102, a third insulating layer 103, a fourth insulating layer 104, a fifth insulating layer 105, a first dielectric layer 106, a passivation layer 107, a first planarization layer 108, and a second planarization layer 109. The substrate 100, the buffer layer 101, the first active layer, the second insulating layer 102, the first conductive layer, the third insulating layer 103, the second conductive layer, the fourth insulating layer 104, the second active layer, the fifth insulating layer 105, the third conductive layer, the first dielectric layer 106, the fourth conductive layer, the passivation layer 107, the first planarization layer 108, the fifth conductive layer, the second planarization layer 109, and the sixth conductive layer are stacked in sequence. The buffer layer 101, the second insulating layer 102, the third insulating layer 103, the fourth insulating layer 104, and the fifth insulating layer 105 can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The materials of the buffer layer 101, the second insulating layer 102, the third insulating layer 103, the fourth insulating layer 104, and the fifth insulating layer 105 can be at least one of silicon nitride, silicon oxide, and silicon oxynitride. The first dielectric layer 106 can be a silicon nitride layer. The materials of the first planarizing layer 108 and the second planarizing layer 109 can be organic materials, such as polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), silicon-glass bonding structure (SOG), etc. The passivation layer 97 can be a silicon oxide layer. The base substrate 90 can include a glass substrate, a barrier layer, and a polyimide layer stacked in sequence. The barrier layer can be an inorganic material. The material of the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, and the third conductive layer can be one of molybdenum, aluminum, copper, titanium, niobium, or an alloy thereof, or a molybdenum / titanium alloy or a laminate thereof. The material of the fourth conductive layer, the fifth conductive layer, and the sixth conductive layer can include a metal material, for example, one of molybdenum, aluminum, copper, titanium, niobium, or an alloy thereof, or a molybdenum / titanium alloy or a laminate thereof, or a titanium / aluminum / titanium laminate thereof. The square resistance of any one of the fourth conductive layer, the fifth conductive layer, and the sixth conductive layer can be less than the square resistance of any one of the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, and the third conductive layer. The display panel may further include an electrode layer, a light-emitting unit layer, etc., located on the side of the sixth conductive layer facing away from the base substrate.
[0144] In this exemplary embodiment, the third initial signal line Vinit3 is disposed in the fourth conductive layer, which has a relatively low sheet resistance. This arrangement reduces the internal resistance of the third initial signal line Vinit3, thereby reducing the voltage difference at different locations on the third initial signal line Vinit3 and, in turn, improving the display uniformity of the display panel. Furthermore, the distance between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the enable signal line EM is relatively large, which reduces the parasitic capacitance between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the enable signal line EM, thereby reducing the coupling effect of the enable signal line EM on the third initial signal line Vinit3.
[0145] It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the third initial signal line Vinit3 can also be set in other conductive layers. For example, the conductive layer where the third initial signal line Vinit3 is located can be located on the side of the conductive layer where the enable signal line EM is located away from the substrate, and the square resistance of the conductive layer where the third initial signal line Vinit3 is located is smaller than the square resistance of the conductive layer where the enable signal line EM is located.
[0146] As shown in Figures 19 and 20, Figure 19 is a schematic structural diagram of another exemplary embodiment of a display panel according to the present disclosure, and Figure 20 is a structural layout diagram of the fourth conductive layer in the display panel shown in Figure 19. The display panel shown in Figure 19 differs from the display panel shown in Figure 3 only in the fourth conductive layer. As shown in Figures 19 and 20, in the same pixel drive circuit, the orthographic projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 on the base substrate is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the enable signal line EM on the base substrate that is away from the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 11 on the base substrate. This arrangement can also reduce the parasitic capacitance between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the enable signal line EM, thereby improving the display quality of the display panel.
[0147] As shown in Figures 19 and 20, the orthographic projection of the first extension portion Vinit31 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second reset signal line Re2 in the pixel driving circuit of the current row on the substrate. The orthographic projection of at least part of the second extension portion Vinit32 on the substrate is located between the orthographic projection of the first reset signal line Re1 in the pixel driving circuit of the next adjacent row on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second reset signal line Re2 in the pixel driving circuit of the current row on the substrate. This arrangement allows the third initial signal line Vinit3 to avoid the third bridge portion 43 and the fourth bridge portion 44, while also reducing the overlapping area between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the first reset signal line Re1 and the second reset signal line Re2, thereby reducing the coupling effect of the first reset signal line Re1 and the second reset signal line Re2 on the third initial signal line Vinit3.
[0148] As shown in Figures 21 and 22, Figure 21 is a schematic structural diagram of another exemplary embodiment of a display panel according to the present disclosure, and Figure 22 is a structural layout diagram of the conductive layer where the third initial signal line is located in the display panel shown in Figure 21. Figure 21 is a schematic structural diagram of another exemplary embodiment of a display panel according to the present disclosure. The main difference between the display panel shown in Figure 21 and the display panel shown in Figure 3 lies in the third initial signal line Vinit3. As shown in Figure 21, in the same pixel drive circuit, the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 11 on the substrate is located between the orthographic projection of the first reset signal line Re1 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second reset signal line Re2 on the substrate; and the orthographic projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 on the substrate is at least partially located between the orthographic projection of the second reset signal line Re2 on the substrate in the pixel drive circuit of the current row and the orthographic projection of the first reset signal line Re1 on the substrate in the pixel drive circuit of the next adjacent row. This arrangement can also reduce the parasitic capacitance between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the enable signal line EM, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.
[0149] Compared to the display panel shown in FIG3 , the display panel shown in FIG21 includes a seventh conductive layer on the side of the sixth conductive layer facing away from the base substrate. The third initial signal line Vinit3 can be located in the seventh conductive layer, and the sheet resistance of the seventh conductive layer can be smaller than the sheet resistance of the first conductive layer. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the third initial signal line Vinit3 can also be located in other conductive layers.
[0150] In this exemplary embodiment, the display panel shown in FIG21 can directly add a seventh conductive layer to the display panel shown in FIG3. It should be noted that due to the obstruction of the second fan-out line FIPV, the third initial signal line Vinit3 cannot be connected to the via hole of the twelfth active portion 712. In this exemplary embodiment, the second fan-out line FIPV can be made to avoid the connection via hole of the third initial signal line Vinit3 by means of winding, jumper, etc. In addition, the other structures of the display panel shown in FIG21 can be the same as those of the display panel shown in FIG3.
[0151] It should be noted that the proportions of the drawings in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual processes, but are not limited to this. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line 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 drawings described in this disclosure are only structural schematics. In addition, qualifiers such as first and second are only used to limit different structural names, and they do not have a specific order of meaning. The same structural layer can be formed by the same composition process. In this exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of a certain structure on the base substrate extends in a certain direction, which can be understood as the orthographic projection of the structure on the base substrate extending in a straight line or bending along that direction.
[0152] This exemplary embodiment also provides a display device, which includes the above-mentioned display panel. The display device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, or other display device.
