[0087] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer and more understandable, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the implementation manners can be implemented in multiple different forms. Those of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the manners and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited only to the contents described in the following implementation manners. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined arbitrarily with each other.

[0088] The drawing ratios in the present disclosure can be used as a reference in actual processes, but are not limited thereto. For example, the aspect 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 the present disclosure are only schematic diagrams, and one implementation manner of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.

[0089] The ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", and "third" in this specification are set to avoid confusion of components, rather than to limit in terms of quantity.

[0090] In this specification, for convenience, terms indicating orientation or positional relationships such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are used to describe the positional relationships of the constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this specification and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements are appropriately changed according to the directions describing the constituent elements. Therefore, it is not limited to the terms described in the specification and can be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.

[0091] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "coupled" shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate member, or the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0092] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region where current mainly flows.

[0093] In this specification, the first pole can be the drain electrode and the second pole can be the source electrode, or the first pole can be the source electrode and the second pole can be the drain electrode. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, etc., the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" sometimes swap with each other. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can swap with each other, and the "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can swap with each other.

[0094] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes the case where the constituent elements are connected together through an element having a certain electrical effect. There is no particular limitation on the "element having a certain electrical effect" as long as it can transfer electrical signals between the constituent elements that can be connected. Examples of the "element having a certain electrical effect" include not only electrodes and wirings, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having various functions.

[0095] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is more than -10° and less than 10°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is more than -5° and less than 5°. Additionally, "perpendicular" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is more than 80° and less than 100°, and thus also includes an angle state of more than 85° and less than 95°.

[0096] In this specification, "film" and "layer" can be interchanged with each other. For example, sometimes "conductive layer" can be changed to "conductive film". Similarly, sometimes "insulating film" can be changed to "insulating layer".

[0097] Triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, etc. in this specification are not in a strict sense and can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, etc. There can be some small deformations caused by tolerances, chamfers, arc edges, and deformations, etc. "About" in this disclosure means not strictly limiting the boundary and allowing values within the process and measurement error ranges.

[0098] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a display device. As Figure 1As shown, the display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, a light-emitting driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is respectively connected to the data driver, the scan driver, and the light-emitting driver. The data driver is respectively connected to a plurality of data signal lines (D1 to Dn). The scan driver is respectively connected to a plurality of scan signal lines (S1 to Sm). The light-emitting driver is respectively connected to a plurality of light-emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo). The pixel array may include a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij, where i and j may be natural numbers. At least one sub-pixel Pxij may include a circuit unit and a light-emitting unit. The circuit unit may at least include a pixel driving circuit. The pixel driving circuit is respectively connected to the scan signal line, the light-emitting signal line, and the data signal line. The light-emitting unit may include a light-emitting device, and the light-emitting device is connected to the pixel driving circuit of the circuit unit. In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller may provide a gray value and a control signal suitable for the specification of the data driver to the data driver, may provide a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. suitable for the specification of the scan driver to the scan driver, and may provide a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. suitable for the specification of the light-emitting driver to the light-emitting driver. The data driver may use the gray value and the control signal received from the timing controller to generate data voltages to be provided to the data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ……, and Dn. For example, the data driver may sample the gray value using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the gray value to the data signal lines D1 to Dn in pixel row units, where n may be a natural number. The scan driver may generate scan signals to be provided to the scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ……, and Sm by receiving a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver may sequentially provide scan signals having conductive level pulses to the scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate scan signals in a manner of sequentially transmitting a scan start signal provided in the form of a conductive level pulse to the next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m may be a natural number. The light-emitting driver may generate emission signals to be provided to the light-emitting signal lines E1, E2, E3, ……, and Eo by receiving a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. from the timing controller. For example, the light-emitting driver may sequentially provide emission signals having cut-off level pulses to the light-emitting signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the light-emitting driver may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate emission signals in a manner of sequentially transmitting an emission stop signal provided in the form of a cut-off level pulse to the next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where o may be a natural number. In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel array may be disposed on a display substrate.

In an exemplary embodiment, the display area 100 may be a flat area including a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij that make up a pixel array. The plurality of sub-pixels Pxij are configured to display a dynamic picture or a still image, and the display area 100 may be referred to as an active area (AA for short). In an exemplary embodiment, the display substrate may adopt a flexible substrate, so the display substrate may be deformable, such as being curled, bent, folded, or rolled up.

[0109] With the development of OLED display technology, consumers have higher and higher requirements for the display effect of display products. An extremely narrow bezel has become a new trend in the development of display products. Therefore, the narrowing of the bezel or even the borderless design has received increasing attention in the design of OLED display products. In a display substrate, since the signal lines of the integrated circuit and the bonding pads in the bonding area need to be introduced into a wider display area in a fanout manner through data lead-out lines, the lead-out line area occupies a large space, resulting in a relatively large width of the lower bezel. In addition, as the size of the display substrate increases, the yield of the display substrate using low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistors decreases, resulting in a relatively high cost.

[0120] Figure 5 It is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 5 shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit of the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure adopts a 7T2C structure. The pixel driving circuit may include seven transistors (a first transistor T1 to a seventh transistor T7) and two capacitors C.

[0121] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit may include a first node N1, a second node N2, a third node N3, and a fourth node N4.

[0122] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 may be referred to as a first reset transistor. The gate electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first scan signal line S1, the first pole of the first transistor T1 is connected to the reference signal line REF, and the second pole of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first node N1.

[0124] In an exemplary embodiment, the third transistor T3 may be referred to as a driving transistor. The gate electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first node N1, the first pole of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second pole of the fifth transistor T5, and the second pole of the third transistor T3 is connected to the third node N3.

[0125] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth transistor T4 may be referred to as a data writing transistor. The gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the third scan signal line S3, the first pole of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data signal line DATA, and the second pole of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second node N2.

[0126] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth transistor T5 may be referred to as a light emission control transistor. The gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the light emission signal line EM, the first pole of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the second pole of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first pole of the third transistor T3.

[0127] In an exemplary embodiment, the sixth transistor T6 may be referred to as a data control transistor. The gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the fourth scan signal line S4, the first pole of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the first node N1, and the second pole of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second node N2.

[0128] In an exemplary embodiment, the seventh transistor T7 may be referred to as a third reset transistor. The gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second scan signal line S2, the first pole of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the initial signal line INIT, and the second pole of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the third node N3.

[0129] In an exemplary embodiment, the first pole of the light-emitting device EL is connected to the third node N3, and the second pole of the light-emitting device EL is connected to the second power supply line VSS. The light-emitting device EL may be an OLED, including a stacked first pole (anode), an organic light-emitting layer, and a second pole (cathode), or may be a QLED, including a stacked first pole (anode), a quantum dot light-emitting layer, and a second pole (cathode).

[0130] In an exemplary embodiment, the seven transistors of the pixel driving circuit may be N-type transistors. Using transistors of the same type in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the process difficulty of the display substrate, and improve the yield of the product.

[0131] In an exemplary embodiment, the seven transistors of the pixel driving circuit may all use oxide transistors. The active layer of the oxide transistor may use an oxide semiconductor (Oxide). Oxide transistors have advantages such as high electron mobility, low operating voltage, and low leakage characteristics. By using a display substrate provided with oxide transistors, low-frequency driving can be achieved, power consumption can be reduced, and display quality can be improved.

[0132] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power supply line VDD may be configured to provide a constant first voltage signal to the pixel driving circuit, the second power supply line VSS may be configured to provide a constant second voltage signal to the light-emitting device, and the first voltage signal is a high-level signal, and the second voltage signal is a low-level signal. The reference signal line REF and the initial voltage signal may be constant voltage signals, which are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0133] Figure 6 For Figure 5 a driving timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit shown. As Figure 6 shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the working process of the pixel driving circuit may include:

[0134] A first stage A1, called an initialization stage. The signals of the first scan signal line S1 and the second scan signal line S2 are high-level signals, and the signals of the third scan signal line S3, the fourth scan signal line S4, and the light-emitting signal line EM are low-level signals, so that the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, and other switching transistors are turned off.

[0135] When the first transistor T1 is turned on, the reference signal provided by the reference signal line REF is supplied to the first node N1 to initialize the first node N1 (reset the gate electrode of the third transistor T3), and the potential of the first node N1 is Vref. When the second transistor T2 is turned on, the reference signal provided by the reference signal line REF is supplied to the fourth node N4 to initialize the fourth node N4 (reset the first ends of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2), and the potential of the fourth node N4 is Vref. When the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, the initial signal provided by the initial signal line INIT is supplied to the third node N3 to initialize the third node N3 (reset the second pole of the third transistor T3 and the second end of the second capacitor C2), and the potential of the third node N3 is Vinit. At the same time, the third transistor T3 can be turned on by the voltage difference between Vinit and Vref.

[0136] In an exemplary embodiment, Vref is the voltage of the reference signal, which can be about 2.5V, and Vinit is the voltage of the initial signal, which can be about 1.5V.

[0137] In an exemplary embodiment, the reset of the first node N1, the third node N3, and the fourth node N4 can be performed in stages or simultaneously, and the present disclosure does not limit this here.

[0138] The second stage A2 is called the compensation stage. The signals of the first scan signal line S1 and the emission signal line EM are high-level signals, and the signals of the second scan signal line S2, the third scan signal line S3, and the fourth scan signal line S4 are low-level signals, so that the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, and other switching transistors are turned off.

[0139] When the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, the potentials of the first node N1 and the fourth node N4 remain Vref. Since the third transistor T3 is turned on, when the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, the first power signal output by the first power supply line VDD is written into the third node N3 through the turned-on third transistor T3, and the potential of the third node N3 gradually increases.

[0140] In an exemplary embodiment, the voltage of the first power signal output by the first power supply line VDD can be about 11.5V.

[0141] The third stage A3 is called the data writing stage. The signal of the emission signal line EM is a continuous high-level signal, the signals of the second scan signal line S2 and the fourth scan signal line S4 are continuous low-level signals, the signals of the first scan signal line S1 and the third scan signal line S3 are high-level signals for a period of time and then become low-level signals, so that the fifth transistor T5 remains turned on, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on for a period of time and then turned off.

[0142] The conduction of the fourth transistor T4 causes the data signal output from the data signal line DATA to be written into the second node N2, that is, stored in the second capacitor C2. The continuous conduction of the fifth transistor T5 causes the potential of the third node N3 to gradually increase until the potential increases to Vref - Vth, at which time the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the third transistor T3 is equal to Vth, and the third transistor T3 is turned off. Thus, the threshold voltage Vth of the third transistor T3 is written into the third node N3, that is, stored in the first capacitor C1. In this way, the threshold voltage Vth starts to be written in the second stage (compensation stage) A2, and the writing of the threshold voltage is completed in the third stage (data writing stage) A3. The writing of the threshold voltage continues from the second stage A2 to the third stage A3. After the threshold voltage Vth is written into the third node N3, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 change from conduction to cutoff.

[0143] The fourth stage A4 is called the light-emitting stage. The signals of the fourth scan signal line S4 and the light-emitting signal line EM are high-level signals, and the signals of the first scan signal line S1, the second scan signal line S2, and the third scan signal line S3 are low-level signals, causing the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 to conduct.

[0144] The conduction of the sixth transistor T6 connects the first node N1 and the second node N2, and the data voltage stored in the second node N2 is written into the first node N1. The potential of the first node N1 (the potential of the gate electrode of the third transistor T3) Vg = Vd + Vld + VSS - (Vref - Vth); the potential of the third node N3 (the potential of the second pole of the third transistor T3) Vs = Vld + VSS; then the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the third transistor T3 is Vgs = Vdata - Vref + Vth. Vld is the voltage of the light-emitting device EL, VSS is the voltage of the second power supply signal, and Vd is the voltage of the data signal. The conduction of the fifth transistor T5 causes the first power supply signal output from the first power supply line VDD to provide a driving voltage to the first pole of the light-emitting element EL through the conducting third transistor T3, driving the light-emitting element EL to emit light.

[0145] The output current I of the third transistor T3 satisfies the following formula:

[0146] I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vgs - Vth) 2 = (μWCox / 2L)(Vdata - Vref) 2 .

[0147] Where, μ is the carrier mobility; Cox is the gate electrode capacitance per unit area, W is the channel width of the third transistor T3, and L is the channel length of the third transistor T3.

[0148] It can be seen from the formula for the output current of the third transistor T3 described above that the output current of the pixel driving circuit is independent of the threshold voltage Vth of the third transistor T3, thereby eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 on the output current. The output current can be controlled by controlling the data voltage Vd to control the brightness of the light-emitting device EL.

[0149] In the pixel driving circuit and its driving method provided by the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the data signal is stored in the second capacitor during the writing stage instead of being directly written to the gate electrode of the third transistor T3. The threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is stored in the first capacitor during the compensation stage, so that the data signal and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 are stored independently, and the stored data signal and the stored threshold voltage do not interfere with each other. During the light-emitting stage, the data signal is written to the gate electrode of the third transistor T3 by using the second capacitor, which can not only ensure the stability of the voltage difference between the data signal and the second pole of the driving transistor T3, but also prevent the actual brightness of the light-emitting device from differing from the designed brightness due to different interference degrees of different data signals, thereby improving the picture quality.

[0150] Figure 7A It is a schematic plan view of a display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In a plane perpendicular to the display substrate, the display substrate may include a driving structure layer provided on a substrate, a light-emitting structure layer provided on a side of the driving structure layer away from the substrate, and a packaging structure layer provided on a side of the light-emitting structure layer away from the substrate. As Figure 7A shown, in a plane parallel to the display substrate, the display substrate may at least include a display area 100, a bonding area 200 located on a second direction Y side of the display area 100, and a border area 300 located on other sides of the display area 100.

[0151] In an exemplary embodiment, the circuit unit referred to in the present disclosure refers to the area divided according to the pixel driving circuit, and the light-emitting unit referred to in the present disclosure refers to the area divided according to the light-emitting device. In an exemplary embodiment, the position of the light-emitting unit projected orthogonally onto the substrate may correspond to the position of the circuit unit projected orthogonally onto the substrate, or the position of the light-emitting unit projected orthogonally onto the substrate may not correspond to the position of the circuit unit projected orthogonally onto the substrate.

[0152] In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of circuit units arranged in sequence along the first direction X may be referred to as a unit row, and a plurality of circuit units arranged in sequence along the second direction Y may be referred to as a unit column. A plurality of unit rows and a plurality of unit columns form an array-arranged circuit unit array, and the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y.

[0153] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first data connection line 81 may be a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X, and the shape of the data signal line 73 and the second data connection line 82 may be a straight line or a broken line extending along the second direction Y. At least one data signal line 73 is connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in a unit column, and the data signal line 73 is configured to provide a data signal to the connected pixel driving circuits. One end of at least one first data connection line 81 is connected to one data signal line 73, and the other end is connected to one end of one second data connection line 82. The other end of the second data connection line 82 extends to the bonding area and is connected to one data lead-out line 80, so that the data signal lines 73 in the display area are connected to the data lead-out line 80 in the bonding area 200 through the first data connection line 81 and the second data connection line 82, forming a structure where the data connection lines are located in the display area (Fanout in AA, abbreviated as FIAA). In an exemplary embodiment, the data connection lines include the first data connection line 81 and the second data connection line 82.

[0154] In an exemplary embodiment, the bonding region 200 may include a lead-out line region 201, a bending region 202, a driving chip region, and a bonding pin region that are sequentially arranged along the direction away from the display region. The lead-out line region 201 is connected to the display region 100, and the bending region 202 is connected to the lead-out line region 201. A plurality of data lead-out lines 80 may be provided in the lead-out line region 201. The plurality of data lead-out lines 80 extend along the direction away from the display region. The first ends of a part of the data lead-out lines 80 are correspondingly connected to the second data connection lines 82 in the display region 100, and the first ends of another part of the data lead-out lines 80 are correspondingly connected to the data signal lines 73 in the display region 100. The second ends of all the data lead-out lines 80 extend along the second direction Y and then cross the bending region to be connected to the integrated circuit in the driving chip region, so that the integrated circuit applies data signals to the data signal lines through the data lead-out lines and the data connection lines. Since the first data connection line 81 and the second data connection line 82 are provided in the display region, the length of the lead-out line region in the second direction Y can be effectively reduced, the lower border width can be greatly reduced, the screen-to-body ratio can be improved, and it is beneficial to realize full-screen display.

[0155] Figure 7B This is a schematic structural diagram of a data connection line according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 7B shown, since the first data connection line 81 and the second data connection line 82 are provided in a partial region of the display region, the display region can be divided into a first region 110, a second region 120, and a third region 130 according to the presence or absence of data connection lines and the extension direction of the data connection lines as the division basis. The first region 110 may be a region where the first data connection line 81 is provided (which may be referred to as a connection line horizontal routing region), the second region 120 may be a region where the second data connection line 82 is provided (which may be referred to as a connection line vertical routing region), and the third region 130 may be a region where neither the first data connection line 81 nor the second data connection line 82 is provided (which may be referred to as a normal region). The first region 110, the second region 120, and the third region 130 are all provided with data signal lines 73.

[0156] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 8 the division of each region shown is only an exemplary illustration. Since the first region 110, the second region 120, and the third region 130 are divided according to the presence or absence of data connection lines and the extension direction of the data connection lines as the division basis, the shapes of the three regions may be regular polygons or irregular polygons. One or more first regions 110, one or more second regions 120, and one or more third regions 130 may be divided in the display region, and the present disclosure does not make any limitation herein.

[0343] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the data signal line 73 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the channel regions of the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 on the substrate, which can avoid signal crosstalk caused by data voltage jumps of the data signal line 73, avoid the influence of data voltage jumps on the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7, improve the working stability of the pixel driving circuit, and improve the display effect.

Another example is that the second data connection line 82 may be disposed between the first power supply line 71 of the (N + 2)th unit column and the first power supply line 71 of the (N + 3)th unit column.

The third connection sub-line 82-3 is configured to be connected to a data lead in the bonding area, and the fourth connection sub-line 82-4 is configured as a second dummy line.

[0350] In an exemplary embodiment, the third connection sub-line 82-3 may be located on one side of the second direction Y of the second break K2 (the side close to the bonding area), and the fourth connection sub-line 82-4 may be located on the side opposite to the second direction Y of the second break K2 (the side far from the bonding area).

[0351] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of at least one second break K2 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one reference signal line 66 on the substrate, or the orthographic projection of at least one second break K2 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one initial signal line 67 on the substrate.

[0352] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of at least one second break K2 on the substrate may be located within the range of the orthographic projection of at least one reference signal line 66 on the substrate. The second break K2 can be padded by the reference signal line 66 to effectively eliminate the film layer difference in different regions and avoid the appearance defect of the display substrate. Alternatively, the orthographic projection of at least one second break K2 on the substrate may be located within the range of the orthographic projection of at least one initial signal line 67 on the substrate. The second break K2 can be padded by the initial signal line 67 to effectively eliminate the film layer difference in different regions and avoid the appearance defect of the display substrate.

[0353] In an exemplary embodiment, the third connection sub-line 82-3 can be connected to the data connection electrode 84 through the twenty-fourth via V24. Since the data connection electrode 84 is connected to the first connection sub-line 81-1 in the first data connection line 81 through the data connection block 83, the first data connection line 81 extending along the first direction X of the main body portion is interconnected with the second data connection line 82 extending along the second direction Y of the main body portion. Since the first connection sub-line 81-1 in the first data connection line 81 is configured to be connected to the data signal line in the display area, and the third connection sub-line 82-3 is configured to be connected to the data lead in the bonding area, the interconnection between the first connection sub-line 81-1 and the third connection sub-line 82-3 enables the data lead in the bonding area to be connected to the data signal line in the display area through the first data connection line 81 and the second data connection line 82.

[0354] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth connection sub-line 82-4 can be connected to the dummy electrode 85 through the twenty-fifth via V25. In an exemplary embodiment, since the morphology of the dummy electrode is substantially the same as that of the data connection electrode 84, and the morphology of the twenty-fifth via V25 is substantially the same as that of the twenty-fourth via V24, the connection structure of the third connection sub-line 82-3 connected to the data connection electrode 84 through the via and the connection structure of the fourth connection sub-line 82-4 connected to the dummy electrode 85 through the via are substantially the same. This can not only improve the uniformity of the subsequent etching process, but also enable the same display effect to be achieved under transmitted and reflected light in different regions, effectively realizing shadow elimination, effectively avoiding appearance defects of the display substrate, and improving the display quality and display performance.

[0355] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of at least one first power line 71 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first break K1 on the substrate, or the orthographic projection of at least one second power line 72 on the substrate can include the orthographic projection of the first break K1 on the substrate.

[0356] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of at least one first break K1 on the substrate can be located within the range of the orthographic projection of at least one first power line 71 on the substrate, that is, the first break K1 is covered by the first power line 71. By using the first power line 71 to block the first break K1, the film layer difference between different regions can be effectively eliminated, and the appearance defect of the display substrate can be avoided. Alternatively, the orthographic projection of at least one first break K1 on the substrate can be located within the range of the orthographic projection of at least one second power line 72 on the substrate, that is, the first break K1 is covered by the second power line 72. By using the second power line 72 to block the first break K1, the film layer difference between different regions can be effectively eliminated, and the appearance defect of the display substrate can be avoided.

[0357] The subsequent fabrication process may include forming a second planar layer, on which an anode via is provided. The anode via exposes the surface of the anode connection electrode 74 and is configured to enable the subsequent formation of the anode to be connected to the anode connection electrode 74 through the via.

The flexible substrate may be, but is not limited to, one or more of polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyether ether ketone, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyarylate, polyarylate, polyimide, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and textile fibers. In an exemplary embodiment, the flexible substrate may include a first flexible material layer, a first inorganic material layer, a semiconductor layer, a second flexible material layer, and a second inorganic material layer stacked on a glass carrier. The materials of the first and second flexible material layers may be polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or a surface-treated polymer soft film, etc. The materials of the first and second inorganic material layers may be silicon nitride (SiNx) or silicon oxide (SiOx), etc., for improving the water and oxygen resistance of the substrate.

[0363] In an exemplary embodiment, after the driving circuit layer is prepared, the light-emitting structure layer may be prepared on the driving circuit layer, and the encapsulation structure layer may be prepared on the light-emitting structure layer, which will not be elaborated here.

[0364] The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate, which creatively combines the oxide pixel driving circuit technology and the technology that the data connection line is located in the display area, so that the display substrate has the advantages of a narrow border and a new circuit architecture. By adopting a new pixel driving circuit of an oxide transistor, the present disclosure can effectively reduce the leakage current, which is beneficial to realizing low-frequency display. By setting a first data connection line and a second data connection line in the display area, the data lead-out line in the bonding area is connected to the data signal line through the first data connection line and the second data connection line, so that there is no need to set a fan-shaped diagonal line in the lead-out line area, effectively reducing the length of the lead-out line area, greatly reducing the width of the lower border, improving the screen-to-body ratio, and being beneficial to realizing full-screen display.

[0365] By setting the aspect ratio of the oxide driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit, the driving performance of the pixel driving circuit can be effectively improved under the corresponding process and pixel architecture, and the display quality can be effectively improved.

[0366] By setting that there is no overlap between the data signal line and the channel regions of the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7, the signal crosstalk caused by the data voltage jump of the data signal line 73 can be avoided, the influence of the data voltage jump on the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 can be avoided, the working stability of the pixel driving circuit can be improved, and the display effect can be improved.

[0367] By using the first power supply line to shield the first transistor T1, the fourth transistor T4, and the sixth transistor T6, and using the second power supply line to shield the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5, and the seventh transistor T7, the light emission of the light-emitting device and the reflected light of the film layer can be blocked from irradiating the oxide transistor, the characteristic drift of the oxide transistor due to light irradiation can be prevented, and the electrical characteristics of the oxide transistor can be improved.

[0368] By setting the second data connection line between the two first power supply lines, the first power supply line with a constant voltage signal can be used as a shielding line to avoid the influence of the data voltage jump on the pixel driving circuit, improve the working stability of the pixel driving circuit, and improve the display effect.

[0369] By hiding the data transfer via hole connecting the first data connection line and the second data connection line in the circuit unit, the ghosting can be effectively realized, the appearance defect of the display substrate can be effectively avoided, and the display quality and display effect can be improved.

[0370] By setting the first break to overlap with the second source-drain metal layer (such as the first power supply line or the second power supply line), the second source-drain metal layer can be used to shield the first break, the film layer difference in different regions can be effectively eliminated, and the appearance defect of the display substrate can be avoided.

[0371] By setting the second break to overlap with the first source-drain metal layer (such as the reference signal line or the initial signal line), the first source-drain metal layer can be used to pad up the second break, the film layer difference in different regions can be effectively eliminated, and the appearance defect of the display substrate can be avoided.

[0372] By setting dummy electrodes in the circuit unit, the morphology and connection structure presented by the dummy electrodes are basically the same as those of the data connection electrodes, so that different circuit units have basically the same transfer connection structure, the ghosting can be effectively realized, the appearance defect of the display substrate can be effectively avoided, and the display quality and display effect can be improved.

[0373] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first power supply connection line with a main body portion extending along a first direction X and a first power supply line with a main body portion extending along a second direction Y are provided, and the first power supply line is connected to the first power supply connection line, so that the first power supply line and the first power supply connection line form a mesh structure for transmitting a first power signal on the display substrate. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the first power supply line, reduces the voltage drop of the first power signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the first power signal in the display substrate, effectively improves the display uniformity, and improves the display quality and display performance.

[0374] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a second power supply line in the display area, a VSS in pixel structure is realized, which can greatly reduce the width of the power supply lead in the border area, greatly reduce the width of the left and right borders, improve the screen-to-body ratio, and is conducive to realizing a full-screen display. By providing a second power supply line with a wider wiring, not only the resistance of the second power supply line is effectively reduced, the voltage drop of the transmitted second power signal is reduced, but also the uniformity of the second power signal in the display substrate is effectively improved, the display uniformity is effectively improved, and the display quality and display performance are improved.

[0375] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, by arranging the first scan signal line, the third scan signal line, and the fourth scan signal line on the first source-drain metal layer, the resistance of the scan signal line is effectively reduced, the voltage drop of the scan signal is reduced, the compensation speed can be increased, and the display quality is improved.

[0376] The pixel driving circuit in an embodiment of the present disclosure uses 7 oxide transistors. Through a mirror-symmetric design, the bottom gate electrode and the top gate electrode of the transistors in adjacent circuit units are an integrated structure connected to each other, and share the same gate connection block and gate connection via. This not only effectively reduces the occupied space of the pixel driving circuit, is not only conducive to realizing a high resolution (PPI) display, but also conducive to the compression of the circuit unit. A vertical routing space for placing the second data connection line is compressed by using 2 unit columns, and a horizontal routing space for placing the first data connection line is compressed by using 4 unit rows. The circuit unit compression structure of the present disclosure can achieve a large transmittance and is applicable to sensor recognition.

[0377] The manufacturing process of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be well compatible with the existing manufacturing process, the process implementation is simple, easy to implement, has a high production efficiency, a low production cost, and a high yield rate.

[0378] In some other embodiments, the driving circuit layer of the display substrate may further include a third source-drain metal (SD3) layer. The third source-drain metal layer may be disposed on a side of the second flat layer away from the substrate, and a third flat layer may be disposed on a side of the third source-drain metal (SD3) layer away from the substrate. In an exemplary embodiment, the data signal line and the second data connection line may be disposed in the third source-drain metal layer, or the data signal line, the second data connection line, and the second power supply line may be disposed in the third source-drain metal layer. The present disclosure does not limit this here.

[0379] Figure 17 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of another display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and is Figure 7B an enlarged view of region A in FIG., schematically showing the structure of circuit units of one circuit row and four circuit columns. The structure of the display substrate in this embodiment is basically the same as that shown in Figure 8 FIG., the difference being that the shape of the data signal line 73 may be a broken line shape extending along the second direction Y.

[0380] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one circuit unit, the data signal line 73 may include at least one straight segment and at least one bent segment connected to each other, and the bent segment is configured to increase the extension length of the data signal line.

[0381] As Figure 17 shown in FIG., at least one data signal line 73 may include a first straight segment 73-1, a second straight segment 73-2, and a bent segment 73-3. The first end of the bent segment 73-3 is connected to the first straight segment 73-1, and the second end of the bent segment 73-3 is connected to the second straight segment 73-2.

[0382] In an exemplary embodiment, the bent segment 73-3 may include a first bent portion 73A, a second bent portion 73B, and an extension portion 73C. The first end of the first bent portion 73A is connected to the first straight segment 73-1. After the second end of the first bent portion 73A extends toward the second power supply line 72, it is connected to the first end of the extension portion 73C. After the second end of the extension portion 73C extends along the second direction Y, it is connected to the first end of the second bent portion 73B. After the second end of the second bent portion 73B extends away from the second power supply line 72, it is connected to the second straight segment 73-2.

[0383] In an exemplary embodiment, the first bent portion 73A has a first included angle α1 with the second direction Y, and the first included angle α1 may be about 20 degrees to 60 degrees. The second bent portion 73B has a second included angle α2 with the second direction Y, and the second included angle α2 may be about 20 degrees to 60 degrees.

[0384] In an exemplary embodiment, the extension lengths of the first bending portion 73A, the second bending portion 73B, and the extension portion 73C can be set according to actual needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this here.

[0385] In an exemplary embodiment, since a part of the data signal lines in the display area (which can be referred to as FIP traces) are connected to the data lead-out lines in the bonding area through the first data connection line and the second data connection line, while another part of the data signal lines (which can be referred to as normal traces) are directly connected to the data lead-out lines in the bonding area, the data signal transmission distance of the FIP traces is greater than that of the normal traces. By providing a bending section on the data signal lines of the normal traces and compensating for the data signal transmission distance through trace bending processing, the present disclosure can make the data signal transmission distance of the FIP traces basically the same as that of the normal traces, improve the driving performance of the pixel driving circuit, and improve the display effect.

[0386] This embodiment provides a display substrate that not only has Figure 8 the technical effects of the shown display substrate, but also by providing a bending section on the data signal lines of the normal traces and compensating for the data signal transmission distance through trace bending processing, the data signal transmission distance of the FIP traces can be made basically the same as that of the normal traces, improve the driving performance of the pixel driving circuit, and improve the display effect.

[0387] Figure 18 is a schematic structural diagram of another display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and is an Figure 7B enlarged view of area A in, showing the structure of a circuit unit with one circuit row and four circuit columns. The structure of the display substrate in this embodiment is basically the same as that shown in Figure 8 except that an auxiliary cathode is further provided on the side of the second power supply line away from the substrate.

[0388] In an exemplary embodiment, in a plane perpendicular to the display substrate, the display substrate may at least include a driving structure layer provided on the substrate and a light-emitting structure layer provided on the side of the driving structure layer away from the substrate. The driving structure layer may include a plurality of circuit units, at least one circuit unit may include a pixel driving circuit, the light-emitting structure layer may include a plurality of light-emitting units, at least one light-emitting unit may include a light-emitting device, and at least one light-emitting device may at least include an anode, an organic light-emitting layer, and a cathode, and the anode is connected to the pixel driving circuit of the corresponding circuit unit.

[0389] As Figure 18As shown, the light-emitting structure layer of this embodiment may further include at least one auxiliary cathode 90. The auxiliary cathode 90 may be disposed on the same layer as the anode. Therefore, the auxiliary cathode 90 is disposed on the side of the second power line 72 away from the substrate. The orthographic projection of the auxiliary cathode 90 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second power line 72 on the substrate, and the auxiliary cathode 90 is connected to the second power line 72 through an auxiliary via V30. The auxiliary cathode 90 is configured to be connected to the cathode formed subsequently.

[0390] In an exemplary embodiment, after the organic light-emitting layer is formed, a connection hole exposing the auxiliary cathode 90 may be formed by laser drilling, so that the cathode is connected to the auxiliary cathode 90 through the connection hole.

[0391] In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of auxiliary cathodes 90 may be periodically disposed along the first direction X and the second direction Y to form a grid structure for transmitting the second power signal with a mesh connection structure on the display substrate. This can not only effectively reduce the resistance of the second power line and reduce the voltage drop of the second power signal, but also effectively improve the uniformity of the second power signal in the display substrate, effectively improve the display uniformity, and improve the display quality and display performance.

[0392] In an exemplary embodiment, since the width of the second power line 72 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is relatively wide, it is beneficial to arrange the position of the auxiliary cathode 90, and the voltage drop of the second power signal can be minimized. For example, in the first direction X, an auxiliary cathode 90 may be disposed every three circuit units. For another example, in the second direction Y, an auxiliary cathode 90 may be disposed every one circuit unit.

[0393] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of anodes in the light-emitting structure layer may be arranged in an RGBG manner or may be arranged in a real RGB manner. The present disclosure does not make a limitation herein.

[0394] In some other embodiments, the display substrate may not be provided with the auxiliary cathode 90, and the cathode in the light-emitting structure layer is directly connected to the second power line 72 through the connection hole. The present disclosure does not make a limitation herein.

[0395] Figure 19 It is a schematic structural diagram of another display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and is Figure 7B an enlarged view of area A in the figure, showing the structure of a circuit unit of one circuit row and four circuit columns. The structure of the display substrate in this embodiment is basically the same as that shown in Figure 8 except that the second data connection line is disposed between two data signal lines.

[0396] As Figure 19As shown, the second data connection line 82 of this embodiment may be disposed between data signal lines 73 adjacent in the first direction X. For example, the second data connection line 82 may be disposed between the data signal lines 73 of the (N + 1)-th unit column and the data signal lines 73 of the (N + 2)-th unit column.

[0397] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first power connection line 68 may be a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X, and may be discontinuously disposed in one unit row. The first power connection lines 68 of two adjacent circuit units in part of the first direction X may be an integrally connected structure.

[0398] In an exemplary embodiment, a first power connection block 68-1 may be connected to the first power connection line 68. The first power connection block 68-1 may be disposed at the middle position of the integrally connected first power connection line 68, such that the first power connection lines 68 of two circuit units share the same first power connection block 68-1.

[0399] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power lines 71 of some adjacent two circuit units may be an integrally connected structure. Therefore, the width of the first power lines 71 in this embodiment may be greater than Figure 8 the width of the first power lines 71 in the shown embodiment.

[0400] In an exemplary embodiment, the preparation process of the display substrate of this embodiment may include the following operations.

[0401] (21) Form a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a semiconductor layer, a third conductive layer, a fourth insulating layer, and a fourth conductive layer pattern in sequence, as Figure 20A and Figure 20B shown. Figure 20B is Figure 20A a planar schematic diagram of the fourth conductive layer in. In an exemplary embodiment, the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, the semiconductor layer, the third conductive layer, and the fourth insulating layer pattern are substantially the same as those in the Figure 8 shown embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0402] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer of each circuit unit at least includes: a first connection electrode 51, a second connection electrode 52, a third connection electrode 53, a fourth connection electrode 54, a fifth connection electrode 55, a first scan signal line 61, a third scan signal line 63, a fourth scan signal line 64, a reference signal line 66, and an initial signal line 67. The above structure is substantially the same as that in the Figure 8 shown embodiment.

[0403] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer of each circuit unit may further include a first power connection line 68. The shape of the first power connection line 68 may be a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X, and it may be discontinuously provided in the middle of a unit row. The first power connection line 68 is connected to the first region of the fifth active layer through a fifth via V5.

[0404] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power connection lines 68 of two circuit units adjacent in part of the first direction X may be an integrally connected structure. For example, the first power connection lines 68 of the Nth unit column and the (N + 1)th unit column may be an integrally connected structure, and the first power connection lines 68 of the (N + 2)th unit column and the (N + 3)th unit column may be an integrally connected structure. However, there is a gap between the first power connection lines 68 in the Nth unit column and the (N + 1)th unit column and the first power connection lines 68 in the (N + 2)th unit column and the (N + 3)th unit column.

[0405] In an exemplary embodiment, a first power connection block 68-1 may be connected to the first power connection line 68, and the first power connection block 68-1 is configured to be connected to a first power supply line formed subsequently.

[0406] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power connection block 68-1 may be provided at the middle position of the integrally formed first power connection line 68, that is, between two circuit units adjacent in the first direction X, so that the first power connection lines 68 of the two circuit units share the same first power connection block 68-1, which can effectively reduce the occupied space of the pixel driving circuit and is beneficial to the compression of the circuit unit on the premise of ensuring the display resolution (PPI).

[0407] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer of at least one circuit unit may further include a first data connection line 81. The shape of the first data connection line 81 may be a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X, and it may be provided between some adjacent unit rows. A first break K1 may be provided on the first data connection line 81, and a first connecting sub-line 81-1 and a second connecting sub-line 81-2 are formed on both sides of the first break K1.

[0408] In an exemplary embodiment, a data connection block 83 and a data connection electrode 84 may be provided on at least one first connecting sub-line 81-1. The first end of the data connection block 83 is connected to the first connecting sub-line 81-1, and the second end of the data connection block 83 is connected to the data connection electrode 84. The first connecting sub-line 81-1, the data connection block 83, and the data connection electrode 84 may be an integrally connected structure.

[0409] In an exemplary embodiment, with Figure 8Different from the illustrated embodiment, the data connection block 83 and the data connection electrode 84 of this embodiment can be disposed between the (N + 1)-th unit column and the (N + 2)-th unit column and can be located between the first power connection lines 68 that are discontinuously arranged.

[0410] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer may further include at least one dummy electrode 85, and the dummy electrode 85 can be located between the first power connection lines 68 that are discontinuously arranged. The position and shape of the dummy electrode 85 in the circuit unit can be substantially the same as the position and shape of the data connection electrode 84 in the circuit unit.

[0411] In an exemplary embodiment, in one unit row, the fourth conductive layers (except for the first data connection line and the data connection block) in two adjacent circuit units can be symmetrically disposed with respect to the column center line. For example, the fourth conductive layers of the N-th unit column and the (N + 1)-th unit column can be symmetrically disposed with respect to the column center line. Also, for example, the fourth conductive layers of the (N + 1)-th unit column and the (N + 2)-th unit column can be symmetrically disposed with respect to the column center line.

[0412] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layers (except for the first data connection line and the data connection block) in adjacent unit rows can be substantially the same.

[0413] (22) Form the first planarization layer and the fifth conductive layer pattern in sequence. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the first planarization layer and the fifth conductive layer pattern in sequence may include: first forming the first planarization layer covering the fourth conductive layer pattern, with the twenty-first via V21 to the twenty-fifth via V25 disposed on the first planarization layer, and then forming the fifth conductive layer on the first planarization layer, as Figure 21A and Figure 21B shown, Figure 21B is Figure 21A a schematic plan view of the fifth conductive layer in

[0414] In an exemplary embodiment, the positions of the twenty-first via V21 to the twenty-fifth via V25 are substantially the same as those in the Figure 8 illustrated embodiment. The difference is that since the first power connection lines 68 of two adjacent circuit units adjacent in the first direction X share the same first power connection block 68-1, these two circuit units share the same twenty-first via V21.

[0415] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth conductive layer of each circuit unit can at least include a first power line 71, a second power line 72, a data signal line 73, and an anode connection electrode 74. The above structure is the same as that in Figure 8The illustrated embodiments are substantially the same, except that the first power supply lines 71 of two adjacent circuit units can be an integrally connected structure. For example, the first power supply lines 71 of the Nth unit column and the (N + 1)th unit column can be an integrally connected structure, and the first power supply lines 71 of the (N + 2)th unit column and the (N + 3)th unit column can be an integrally connected structure.

[0416] In an exemplary embodiment, since the first power supply lines 71 of two adjacent circuit units are an integrally connected structure, the width of the first power supply lines 71 in this embodiment can be greater than Figure 8 the width of the first power supply lines 71 in the illustrated embodiment.

[0417] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth conductive layer of at least one circuit unit may further include a second data connection line 82. The shape of the second data connection line 82 can be a straight line or a broken line with a main body portion extending along the second direction Y. It can be disposed between some adjacent unit columns.
