[0108] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0109] For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will describe the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments and contents can be changed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. The embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and brief, the present disclosure omits the detailed description of some known functions and known components. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only involve the structures related to the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures can be referred to the generally designed
[0110] The proportions of the drawings in the present disclosure can be used as a reference in the actual process, but are not limited thereto. For example, the width-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 also not limited to the number shown in the drawings. The drawings described in the present disclosure are only schematic structural diagrams, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0111] In the present specification, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third", and the like are provided to avoid confusion of components, and are not intended to be limiting in terms of number.
[0112] In the present specification, for the purpose of convenience, words indicating orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like are used to describe the positional relationship of the components with reference to the drawings, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present specification and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the components is appropriately changed according to the direction of describing each component. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the specification, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.
[0113] In the present specification, unless explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mount", "connect", "connection" should be understood broadly. For example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate piece, or the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0114] In this specification, a transistor means an element including at least three terminals of a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (a drain electrode line, a drain region, or a drain electrode) and the source electrode (a source electrode line, a source region, or a 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 means a region where current flows mainly.
[0115] In this specification, the first terminal can be a drain electrode and the second terminal can be a source electrode, or the first terminal can be a source electrode and the second terminal can be a drain electrode. In the case of using a transistor having opposite polarity or in the case of changing the direction of current in circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged. Thus, in this specification, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be interchanged with each other.
[0116] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes the case where components are connected through an element having some function of electricity. The element having some function of electricity is not particularly limited as long as electric signals can be transmitted and received between components to be connected. Examples of the element having some function of electricity include not only an electrode and a wiring but also a switching element such as a transistor, a resistor, an inductor, a capacitor, and another element having some function.
[0117] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where an angle formed between two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than or equal to 10°, and thus includes a state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than or equal to 5°. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where an angle formed between two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than or equal to 100°, and thus includes a state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than or equal to 95°.
[0118] In this specification, "film" and "layer" can be interchanged with each other. For example, "a conductive layer" can be changed into "a conductive film". Similarly, "an insulating film" can be changed into "an insulating layer".
[0119] In this specification, "formation in the same layer" means that two (or more) structures are formed by patterning in the same process, and the materials thereof can be the same or different. For example, the materials of precursors used for forming the two (or more) structures in the same layer are the same, and the materials of the formed structures can be the same or different.
[0120] In this specification, a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon is not strictly a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon, but can be an approximately triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon, and can have some small deformation due to a tolerance, a rounded corner, a curved side, or the like.
[0121] In the present disclosure, "about" means not strictly limited boundaries, allowing values within the range of process and measurement errors.
[0122] The display panel of the OLED or QLED includes a substrate and a plurality of sub-pixels disposed on the substrate, at least one of the sub-pixels including a pixel driving circuit.
