The scan driver circuit can generate scan signals to be provided to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, etc., from a timing controller. For example, the scan driver circuit can sequentially provide scan signals with on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver circuit can be configured as a shift register and can generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting scan start signals in the form of on-level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. The light-emitting driver circuit can generate transmit signals to be provided to light-emitting signal lines E1, E2, E3, ..., Eo by receiving clock signals, transmit stop signals, etc., from a timing controller. For example, the light-emitting driver circuit can sequentially provide transmit signals with off-level pulses to light-emitting signal lines E1 to Eo.For example, the light-emitting driving circuit can be configured as a shift register, and can generate a transmission signal by sequentially transmitting a transmit stop signal provided in the form of a cutoff level pulse to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where 0 can be a natural number. Thus, the display panel can achieve line-by-line scanning and driving.
[0174] Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure. The display panel includes a substrate, a plurality of pixel driving circuits Pi, gate lines Gx, and a control circuit K. The orthographic projections of the plurality of pixel driving circuits Pi on the substrate are distributed in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect; for example, the first direction X and the second direction Y can be perpendicular. A plurality of pixel driving circuits distributed along the first direction X form a pixel driving circuit row Pih; wherein, the pixel driving circuit Pih includes a driving transistor T3 and a switching transistor Tx, the first terminal of the switching transistor Tx being connected to the gate of the driving transistor T3; a gate line Gx is projected onto the substrate along the first direction X, and the gate line Gx is used to provide a gate driving signal to a plurality of switching transistors Tx located in the same pixel driving circuit row Pih; a control circuit K is correspondingly disposed with at least one pixel driving circuit; the control circuit K is connected to the gate of the switching transistor Tx and the gate line Gx in the corresponding pixel driving circuit, and the control circuit K is used to respond to a control signal to connect the gate of the switching transistor Tx and the gate line Gx, or to respond to a control signal to disconnect the gate of the switching transistor Tx from the gate line Gx.
[0175] This exemplary embodiment allows control of the driving state of the switching transistor Tx in the pixel driving circuit connected to it via control circuit K. When control circuit K controls the gate of switching transistor Tx to connect to gate line Gx, switching transistor Tx normally receives the gate driving signal on gate line Gx, and the pixel driving circuit can scan normally; when control circuit K controls the gate of switching transistor Tx to receive a turn-off signal, switching transistor Tx is in the turn-off state, and the pixel driving circuit cannot scan. That is, this exemplary embodiment allows adjustment of the refresh rate of the pixel driving circuit connected to it via control circuit K, and multiple control circuits K can adjust the refresh rate of different areas of the display panel.
[0176] It should be noted that the first electrode of the switching transistor being connected to the gate of the driving transistor can include: the first electrode of the switching transistor being directly electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor, or the first electrode of the switching transistor being connected to the gate of the driving transistor through a capacitor, that is, the two electrodes of the capacitor being connected to the first electrode of the switching transistor and the gate of the driving transistor, respectively.
[0177] In this exemplary embodiment, the control circuit K and a portion of the pixel driving circuits in the same row of pixel driving circuits are correspondingly configured. When the display panel is driven row by row, the control circuit can control the switching transistor Tx row by row. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the display panel can be driven in other ways, and correspondingly, the control circuit and pixel driving circuits can also have other corresponding configurations. For example, when the display panel is driven in two rows, the control circuit can be correspondingly configured with a portion of the pixel driving circuits in the two rows of pixel driving circuits.
[0178] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG2, a plurality of pixel driving circuits Pi distributed in the second direction Y form a pixel driving circuit column Piv, and one or more adjacent pixel driving circuit columns Piv form a pixel driving circuit group Pivz; the display panel includes a plurality of pixel driving circuit groups Pivz, and a plurality of control circuits K are correspondingly arranged in the pixel driving circuit groups Pivz. In the same pixel driving circuit group Pivz: the control circuit K is correspondingly arranged with the pixel driving circuit located in the same pixel driving circuit row Pih, and different control circuits K can correspond to pixel driving circuits in different pixel driving circuit rows Pih respectively.
[0179] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG2, the display panel further includes a fifth gate line G5, which includes fifth gate line segments G51 extending along the first direction X and spaced apart along the first direction X. The fifth gate line segments G51 are correspondingly disposed with the pixel driving circuit group Pivz. The fifth gate line segments G51 can be connected to the gates of the same type of switching transistors located in the same pixel driving circuit row in the corresponding pixel driving circuit group. For example, a portion of the structure of the fifth gate line segment G51 is used to form the gates of the switching transistors located in the same pixel driving circuit row in the corresponding pixel driving circuit group. The control circuit K can be connected to the gate of its corresponding switching transistor Tx through the fifth gate segment G51. The same type of switching transistors are switching transistors with the same function in different pixel driving circuits. For example, as shown in FIG6, the second transistors located in the same pixel driving circuit row are the same type of switching transistors, and the first transistors located in the same pixel driving circuit row are the same type of switching transistors.
[0180] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG2, the display panel further includes: a fourth gate line G4, the fourth gate line G4 extending along the second direction Y by its orthogonal projection on the substrate; the fourth gate line G4 can be used to provide control signals to multiple control circuits K corresponding to the same pixel driving circuit group Pivz.
[0181] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG2, the control circuit may include a ninth transistor T9. The first terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the gate line Gx, and the second terminal is connected to the gate of the switching transistor Tx. The gate is connected to the fourth gate line G4. The ninth transistor may be a P-type transistor or an N-type transistor.
[0182] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG2, the fourth gate line G4 connects to multiple control circuits K corresponding to the same pixel driving circuit group Pivz. The fourth gate line G4 is used to provide control signals to the multiple control circuits corresponding to the same pixel driving circuit group. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the fourth gate line may also connect to control circuits K corresponding to different pixel driving circuit groups Pivz.
[0183] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG2, the number of pixel driving circuit columns Piv in each pixel driving circuit group Pivz is the same. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the number of pixel driving circuit columns Piv in at least some pixel driving circuit groups Pivz may be different.
[0184] Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure. The display panel further includes: a shutdown signal line VGL, the shutdown signal line VGL extending along the second direction Y in its orthogonal projection on the substrate, the shutdown signal line VGL being used to provide shutdown signals to a plurality of control circuits K corresponding to the same pixel driving circuit group Pivz, and the control circuit K being able to respond to a control signal to transmit the shutdown signal provided by the shutdown signal line VGL to the gate of its corresponding switching transistor Tx.
[0185] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG3, the control circuit K may further include a tenth transistor T10. The first terminal of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the turn-off signal line VGL, and the second terminal is connected to the gate of the switching transistor Tx, the gate being connected to the fourth gate line G4; wherein, the polarity of the turn-on signals of the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 is opposite, for example, the ninth transistor T9 may be a P-type transistor, and the tenth transistor T10 may be an N-type transistor.
[0186] It should be noted that the shutdown signal is the signal that shuts down the target circuit. For example, the shutdown signal for a P-type transistor is a high-level signal, and the shutdown signal for an N-type transistor is a low-level signal. The turn-on signal is the signal that turns on the target circuit. For example, the turn-on signal for a P-type transistor is a low-level signal, and the turn-on signal for an N-type transistor is a high-level signal. Furthermore, the control signal responding to the connection between the gate of the switching transistor Tx and the gate line Gx by the control circuit K, and the control signal responding to the shutdown signal provided by the control circuit K to the gate of the switching transistor Tx, can be provided by the same signal line or by different signal lines. This exemplary embodiment only shows a portion of the pixel driving circuitry of the display panel; this disclosure does not limit the number of pixel driving circuits in the display panel.
[0187] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG3, the conduction signals of the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 have different polarities; that is, the conduction signals of the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 are one high level and the other low level. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the conduction signals of the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 may also have the same polarity, and correspondingly, the ninth transistor and the tenth transistor can be turned on and off respectively by two gate lines.
[0188] Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure. The pixel driving circuit may include one or more switching transistors Tx, and one or more switching transistors Tx may include a second transistor T2. The first terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the gate of a driving transistor T3, and the second terminal is connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T3. The same pixel driving circuit may have one or more gate lines, one or more of which include a first gate line G1. The first gate line G1 is used to provide gate driving signals to multiple second transistors T2 in the same pixel driving circuit row.
[0189] This exemplary embodiment can control the driving state of the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit connected to it via the control circuit K. When the control circuit K controls the gate of the second transistor T2 to connect to the first gate line G1, the second transistor T2 normally receives the gate driving signal on the first gate line G1, and the second transistor T2 can write a compensation voltage to the gate of the driving transistor T3 in each frame; when the control circuit K controls the gate of the second transistor T2 to receive a turn-off signal, the second transistor T2 is in the turn-off state, and the second transistor T2 cannot write a compensation voltage to the gate of the driving transistor T3. That is, this exemplary embodiment can adjust the refresh frequency of the pixel driving circuit connected to it via the control circuit K, and multiple control circuits K can adjust the refresh frequency of different areas of the display panel.
[0190] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-4, the pixel driving circuit group Pivz includes two pixel driving circuit columns Piv. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the pixel driving circuit group Pivz may also include other numbers of pixel driving circuit columns Piv. For example, Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure. The pixel driving circuit group Pivz may include four pixel driving circuit columns Piv. Furthermore, in other exemplary embodiments, the pixel driving circuit group Pivz may also include one pixel driving circuit column Piv. Correspondingly, a turn-off signal line and a column of pixel driving circuits are correspondingly arranged. The voltages on each turn-off signal line may be the same or different. For example, the voltage of the turn-off signal line corresponding to the R pixel column (or B pixel column) may be less than the voltage of the turn-off signal line corresponding to the G pixel column. Based on the different turn-on speeds of the light-emitting units in different color pixel units, this arrangement can reduce the power consumption of the display panel while ensuring the display effect.
[0191] Furthermore, in other exemplary embodiments, based on the display panel shown in Figures 2-5, the control circuit may further include a first capacitor. The first electrode of the first capacitor is connected to the constant voltage power supply line, and the second electrode of the first capacitor is connected to the second electrode of the ninth transistor T9. The first capacitor can control the potential of the second electrode of the ninth transistor T9 to remain stable during the time period when the fourth gate line G4 turns off the ninth transistor T9, and can prevent large fluctuations in the voltage of the second electrode of the ninth transistor T9 due to leakage current. The constant voltage power supply line can be a DC signal, for example, it can be one of the first power supply line VDD, an initial signal line (e.g., one of the first initial signal line Vinit1, the second initial signal line Vinit2, and the third initial signal line Vinit3), a turn-off signal line VGL, and a high-voltage power supply line VGH.
[0192] This exemplary embodiment provides a pixel driving circuit, as shown in Figures 6 and 7. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an exemplary embodiment of the pixel driving circuit of this disclosure, and Figure 7 is a timing diagram of some nodes in an exemplary embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown in Figure 6.
[0193] 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. Specifically, the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data signal terminal Da, the second terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first terminal of the driving transistor T3, and the gate of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second gate driving signal terminal G2. The first terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power supply terminal VDD, the second terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first terminal of the driving transistor T3, and the gate of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the enable signal terminal EM. The gate of the driving transistor T3 is connected to node N. The first terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to node N, the second terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T3, and the gate of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first gate driving signal terminal G1. The first terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T3, and the second terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the seventh transistor T8. The second electrode of transistor T7 and the gate of the sixth transistor T6 are connected to the enable signal terminal EM. The first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second initial signal terminal Vinit2, and the gate of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second reset signal terminal Re2. The first electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first initial signal terminal Vinit1, and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T3. The gate of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first reset signal terminal Re1. The first electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the third initial signal terminal Vinit3, and the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3. The gate of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the second reset signal terminal Re2. The first electrode of capacitor C is connected to node N, and the second electrode of capacitor C is connected to the first power supply terminal VDD. This pixel driving circuit can be used to drive a light-emitting unit L. The first electrode of the light-emitting unit L 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. In this design, the second transistor T2 can be an N-type transistor, such as an N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor. N-type transistors have lower leakage current, which reduces the leakage current through the second transistor T2 at node N during the light-emitting stage. Meanwhile, the first transistor T1, driving transistor T3, fourth transistor T4, fifth transistor T5, sixth transistor T6, seventh transistor T7, and eighth transistor T8 can be P-type transistors, such as P-type low-temperature polysilicon transistors. P-type transistors have higher carrier mobility, which is beneficial for achieving 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 the actual situation.
[0194] The first power line VDD can be used to provide a first power terminal, the first initial signal line Vinit1 can be used to provide a first initial signal terminal, the second initial signal line Vinit2 can be used to provide a second initial signal terminal, and the third initial signal line Vinit3 can be used to provide a third initial signal terminal.
[0195] As shown in Figure 7, 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. One driving cycle of this pixel driving circuit may include a first reset phase t1, a data writing phase t2, a second reset phase t3, and a light emission phase t4.
[0196] In the first reset phase t1: the first gate drive signal terminal G1 outputs a high level, 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 node N through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2. In the data writing phase t2: 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 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 second reset phase t3: 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 L, and the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 inputs the third initial signal to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3. During the light-emitting stage t4: the enable signal terminal EM outputs a low-level signal, turning on the sixth transistor T6 and the fifth transistor T5. This drives the light-emitting unit to emit light under the compensation voltage Vdata + Vth stored in capacitor C, controlled by the driving transistor T3. The formula for the output current of the driving transistor is as follows: I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vgs - Vth) 2
[0197] Where I is the output current of the driving transistor; μ is the carrier mobility; Cox is the gate capacitance per unit area; W is the width of the driving transistor channel; L is the length of the driving transistor channel; Vgs is the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor; and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. In the pixel driving circuit described above, the output current of the driving transistor I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vdata + Vth - Vdd - Vth) 2 This pixel driving circuit can avoid the influence of the driving transistor threshold on its output current.
[0198] It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the pixel driving circuit Pi may also have other structures. For example, the pixel driving circuit Pi may be the structure shown in FIG6. For another example, based on the pixel driving circuit shown in FIG6, the pixel driving circuit Pi may not include the eighth transistor T8. For yet another example, based on the pixel driving circuit shown in FIG6, the first transistor T1 may be connected to the gate of the driving transistor T3. Correspondingly, the first transistor T1 may also be an N-type transistor.
[0199] It should be understood that, in other exemplary embodiments, the control circuit K is connected to the gate of the switching transistor. As long as the control circuit K can control the switching transistor's on / off state, it can adjust the local refresh rate of the display panel. Correspondingly, the control circuit K can also have other structures and connection methods. For example, the first gate line can be connected to the control terminal of the control circuit, and the fourth gate line can be connected to the input terminal of the control circuit.
[0200] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure. Figure 8 only shows one pixel driving circuit.
[0201] As shown in Figure 8, the pixel driving circuit, based on Figure 6, sets the second transistor T2 as a P-type transistor. The control circuit K may include a ninth transistor T9 and a tenth transistor T10. The first terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the fourth gate line G4, and the second terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the gate of the second transistor T2. The gate of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to an additional first gate line G1-1. The first terminal of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the turn-off signal line, and the second terminal of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the gate of the second transistor T2. The gate of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the first gate line G1. Both the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 can be P-type transistors.
[0202] As shown in Figure 8, the turn-off signal line connected to the first terminal of the tenth transistor T10 can be any one of the first power supply line VDD, the third initial signal line Vinit3, or the high-voltage power supply line VGH. The signal provided by the turn-off signal line can be used to turn off the second transistor T2.
[0203] When the signal of the fourth gate line G4 is at the second level (high level), the second transistor T2 is disconnected under the control of the signal of the fourth gate line G4 or the high voltage power supply line VGH, and the pixel driving circuit drives the corresponding light-emitting unit to maintain the original brightness.
[0204] When the signal on the fourth gate line G4 is at the first level (low level), the pixel driving circuit, under the control of the first gate line G1, the additional first gate line G1-1, and the control circuit K, drives the corresponding light-emitting unit to maintain its original brightness or refresh its brightness. The signal polarities on the first gate line G1 and the additional first gate line G1-1 are opposite. The orthographic projections of the first gate line G1 and the additional first gate line G1-1 onto the substrate can extend along a first direction, and the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 onto the substrate can extend along a second direction.
[0205] As shown in Figure 8, when the signal of the fourth gate line G4 is at the first level, and the first gate line G1 is at the first level in the first reset stage and data writing stage of a working frame of the pixel driving circuit, the control circuit provides the signal of the fourth gate line G4 to the gate of the second transistor T2 in the first reset stage and data writing stage of a working frame of the pixel driving circuit. The second transistor T2 is turned on under the control of the signal of the fourth gate line G4, and the pixel driving circuit drives the corresponding light-emitting unit to refresh the brightness in this working frame.
[0206] In this exemplary embodiment, the timing of the signal on the first gate line G1 in FIG8 can be the same as the timing of the first gate line in the display panel shown in FIG2-5.
[0207] When the signal of the fourth gate line G4 is at the first level and the first gate line G1 is at the second level in one working frame of the pixel driving circuit, the control circuit provides the signal of the high voltage power supply line VGH to the gate of the second transistor T2. The second transistor T2 is turned off under the control of the signal of the high voltage power supply line, and the pixel driving circuit drives the corresponding light-emitting unit to maintain the original brightness.
[0208] In this exemplary embodiment, there can be one or more switching transistors. When there are multiple switching transistors, there can also be multiple control circuits. The control circuits and switching transistors are configured accordingly, and the control circuits are used to control the on / off state of their corresponding switching transistors.
[0209] For example, Figure 9 shows a schematic diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure. The pixel driving circuit in this display panel includes a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a driving transistor T3, a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, a sixth transistor T6, a seventh transistor T7, an eighth transistor T8, an eleventh transistor T11, a first capacitor C11, and a second capacitor C12. Specifically, the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data signal terminal Da, and the second terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first terminal of the driving transistor T3; the first terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power supply terminal VDD, and the second terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first terminal of the driving transistor T3, with its gate connected to the enable signal terminal EM; the gate of the driving transistor T3 is connected to the first node N1; the first terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first node N1, and the second terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T3; the first terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T3, and the second terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second terminal of the seventh transistor T7, with its gate connected to the enable signal terminal EM; the first terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to... The second initial signal terminal Vinit2 is connected to the second initial signal terminal, and the gate of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second reset signal terminal Re2. The first electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first initial signal terminal Vinit1, and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first node N1. The first electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the third initial signal terminal Vinit3, and the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3. The gate of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the second reset signal terminal Re2. The first electrode of the eleventh transistor T11 is connected to the reference voltage terminal Vref, and the second electrode of the eleventh transistor T11 is connected to the sixth node N6. The first capacitor C11 is connected between the sixth node N6 and the first power supply terminal VDD. The second capacitor C12 is connected between the sixth node N6 and the first node N1. This pixel driving circuit can be used to drive a light-emitting unit L. The first electrode of the light-emitting unit L 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 can be an N-type transistor, for example, an N-type metal-oxide transistor. N-type transistors have a smaller leakage current, which can reduce the leakage current of the first node N1 through the second transistor T2 during the light-emitting stage.Meanwhile, the first transistor T1, driving transistor T3, fourth transistor T4, fifth transistor T5, sixth transistor T6, seventh transistor T7, eighth transistor T8, and eleventh transistor T11 can be P-type transistors. For example, driving transistor T3, fourth transistor T4, fifth transistor T5, sixth transistor T6, seventh transistor T7, eighth transistor T8, and eleventh transistor T11 can be P-type low-temperature polysilicon transistors. P-type transistors have higher carrier mobility, which is beneficial for achieving display panels with high resolution, high response speed, high pixel density, and high aperture ratio. The first initial signal terminal, second initial signal terminal, and third initial signal terminal can output the same or different voltage signals according to actual conditions.
[0210] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG9, a driving cycle of the pixel driving circuit may include a first reset stage, a threshold compensation stage, a data writing stage, and a light emission stage.
[0211] In the first reset phase: the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the first initial signal terminal Vinit1 inputs the first initial signal to the gate of the driving transistor T3 through the first transistor T1; in the threshold compensation phase: the second reset signal terminal Re2 outputs a low-level signal, the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and at the same time the second transistor T2 is turned on, the second initial signal terminal Vinit2 inputs the second initial signal to the first electrode of the light-emitting unit L, and the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 inputs the compensation voltage V3+Vth to the first node N1 through the driving transistor T3 and the second transistor T2, where Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3 and V3 is the third initial voltage. During the signal terminal Vinit3 voltage, the eleventh transistor T11 is turned on, and the reference power supply terminal Vref inputs the reference voltage Vf to the sixth node N6; during the data writing stage: the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and the data signal terminal Da inputs the data signal to the sixth node N6 through the fourth transistor T4. The voltage of the sixth node N6 changes from Vf to Vdata. Under the coupling effect of the second capacitor C12, the voltage of the first node becomes V3+Vth+Vdata-Vf; during the light emission stage: 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 emission unit L to emit light under the action of the first node.
[0212] The formula for the output current of the driving transistor is as follows: I=(μWCox / 2L)(Vgs-Vth) 2
[0213] Where I is the output current of the driving transistor; μ is the carrier mobility; Cox is the gate capacitance per unit area; W is the width of the driving transistor channel; L is the length of the driving transistor channel; Vgs is the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor; and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. In the pixel driving circuit described above, the output current of the driving transistor I = (μWCox / 2L)(V3 + Vth + Vdata - Vf - Vth) 2 This pixel driving circuit can avoid the influence of the driving transistor threshold on its output current. It should be understood that the pixel driving circuit shown in Figure 9 can also be driven by other methods.

[0215] For example, as shown in Figure 10, which is a schematic diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure, the plurality of control circuits may include a first control circuit 601 to a third control circuit 603. The pixel driving circuit Pi may include a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a driving transistor T3, a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, and a capacitor C. The first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor T5 may be P-type transistors, and the driving transistor T3 may be an N-type transistor.
[0216] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG10, the driving method of the pixel driving circuit may include a reset phase, a data writing phase, and a light-emitting phase. In the reset phase: the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, the first low-voltage power supply line VSS1 inputs a first low-level signal to the third node N3 through the first transistor T1, and the second low-voltage power supply line VSS2 inputs a second low-level signal to the first node N1 through the second transistor T2; in the data writing phase: the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and the data line Da inputs a data signal to the first node N1 through the fourth transistor T4; in the light-emitting phase: the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, and the driving transistor T3 drives the light-emitting unit L to emit light under the action of the data signal on the first node N1. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the pixel driving circuit may also have other driving methods.
[0217] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG10, the plurality of switching transistors include a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, and a fourth transistor T4. The gate of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first control circuit 601, the first terminal of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first low-voltage power supply line VSS1, and the second terminal of the first transistor T1 is connected to the third node N3. The gate of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second control circuit 602, the first terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second low-voltage power supply line VSS2, and the second terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first node N1. The gate of the driving transistor is connected to the first node N1. N1 is connected; the first terminal of the driving transistor is connected to the second node N2, and the second terminal of the driving transistor is connected to the third node N3; the gate of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the third control circuit 603; the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data line Da, and the second terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first node N1; the gate of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the enable signal line EM; the first terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the second terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the second node N2; the first electrode of capacitor C is connected to the first node N1, and the second electrode of capacitor C is connected to the third node N3. The structure of the first control circuit 601 to the third control circuit 603 can be the structure of the control circuit described in any of the above embodiments, and the circuit structures of the first control circuit 601 to the third control circuit 603 can be the same or different; in an exemplary embodiment, the first control circuit 601 to the third control circuit 603 can be the same control circuit connected to the gates of the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the fourth transistor T4 respectively. As can be seen from the above, the threshold compensation of the gate of the driving transistor T3 can be controlled by controlling the gate of the transistor connected to the driving transistor T3 in the pixel driving circuit Pi, thereby controlling the refresh of pixels in a local area of the display panel.
[0218] For example, as shown in Figure 10, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a light-emitting control transistor can be added between the N3 node and the anode of the light-emitting unit, thereby isolating the influence of the voltage of the N3 node on the anode of the light-emitting unit before light emission. Other working processes are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0219] Figure 11 shows a schematic diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure. Figure 11 illustrates the adjustment method of the local refresh rate of the display panel using nine display areas as an example. The display panel includes nine display areas P1-P9. Each display area includes multiple pixel driving circuits located in the same pixel driving circuit group and in the same pixel driving circuit row. For example, each display area may include one row and four columns of pixel driving circuits, and a control circuit is correspondingly provided in each display area. Accordingly, the display panel may be provided with three fourth gate lines G41, G42, and G43, and three first gate lines G11, G12, and G13.
[0220] The fourth gate line G41 controls the on / off state of the ninth transistor T9 in display areas P1, P4, and P7 along the column direction; the fourth gate line G42 controls the on / off state of the ninth transistor T9 in display areas P2, P5, and P8 along the column direction; and the fourth gate line G43 controls the on / off state of the ninth transistor T9 in display areas P3, P6, and P9 along the column direction. If the fourth gate lines G41 and G43 control the ninth transistor T9 in display areas P1, P4, P7, P3, P6, and P9 to be off, then the second transistor T2 in display areas P1, P4, P7, P3, P6, and P9 will be off. At this time, regardless of whether the first gate lines G11, G12, and G13 in display areas P1, P4, P7, P3, P6, and P9 output on or off signals, display areas P1, P4, P7, P3, P6, and P9 will not refresh, and the corresponding display areas P1, P4, P7, P3, P6, and P9 can achieve low-frequency display. If the fourth gate line G42 controls the ninth transistor T9 in display areas P2, P5, and P8 to turn on, then the second transistor T2 in display areas P2, P5, and P8 can receive signals from the first gate lines G11, G12, and G13 to control pixel scanning. At this time, the refresh frequency of display areas P2, P5, and P8 can be controlled by controlling the frequency of the gate drive signals output by the first gate lines G11, G12, and G13. For example, if the first gate line G11 outputs a valid level every frame, then display area P2 will refresh every frame; if the first gate line G12 outputs a valid level every three frames, then display area P5 will refresh every three frames. This method controls the refresh frequency of different display areas by controlling the frequency of the valid levels output by the fourth and first gate lines.
[0221] The display panel can also control the refresh rate of local areas through other driving methods. For example, the frequency of the effective level output of each first gate line can be the same. When the display panel scans each row of pixel driving circuits, the fourth gate line can select the on / off state of the ninth transistor T9 in the control circuit connected to it, so as to control whether the pixel driving circuits of different areas write data signals. For example, during the scanning of display areas P1, P2, and P3, the fourth gate line G41 can control the ninth transistor in display area P1 to turn on, the fourth gate line G42 can control the ninth transistor in display area P2 to turn on, and the fourth gate line G43 can control the ninth transistor in display area P3 to turn off, thereby controlling the refresh of display areas P1 and P2, while display area P3 does not refresh; during the scanning of display areas P4, P5, and P6, the fourth gate line G41 can control the ninth transistor in display area P4 to turn off, the fourth gate line G42 can control the ninth transistor in display area P5 to turn on, and the fourth gate line G43 can control the ninth transistor in display area P6 to turn off, thereby controlling the refresh of display area P5, while display areas P4 and P6 do not refresh.
[0222] The pixel driving circuit and control circuit in Figure 11 can be any of the pixel driving circuits and control circuits mentioned above. VGL / VGH in Figure 11 can be the shutdown signal line VGL in Figure 4 or the high-voltage power supply line VGH in Figure 8.
[0223] Furthermore, the voltage of the low-level constant voltage signal in the low-frequency display area can be greater than the voltage of the same low-level constant voltage signal in the high-frequency display area; the voltage of the high-level constant voltage signal in the low-frequency display area can be less than the voltage of the same high-level constant voltage signal in the high-frequency display area. This setting can further reduce the power consumption of the display panel. The low-level constant voltage signal may include signals on the first initial signal line Vinit1, the second initial signal line Vinit2, the second power supply terminal VSS, and the turn-off signal line VGL; the high-level constant voltage signal may include signals on the third initial signal line Vinit3, the first power supply line VDD, and the high-voltage power supply line VGH. The first initial signal line Vinit1 is used to provide the first initial signal terminal, the second initial signal line Vinit2 is used to provide the second initial signal terminal, the third initial signal line Vinit3 is used to provide the third initial signal terminal, and the first power supply line VDD is used to provide the first power supply terminal.
[0224] In this exemplary embodiment, the shutdown signal line VGL can be configured to correspond to one column of pixel driving circuits or multiple columns of pixel driving circuits. The switching transistor Tx can be an N-type transistor, and the shutdown signal line VGL can share a signal line with other signal lines in the display panel. For example, the first initial signal line Vinit1, the second initial signal line Vinit2, and the low-level power line VSS in the display panel can all be multiplexed as the shutdown signal line VGL. The low-level power line VSS is used to provide a second power supply terminal.
[0225] It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the switching transistor Tx can also be a P-type transistor, and correspondingly, the turn-off signal line is a high-level power supply signal line, and the first power supply line VDD in the display panel can be multiplexed as the turn-off signal line. Similarly, the voltages on each turn-off signal line can be the same or different; for example, the voltage on the turn-off signal line corresponding to the R pixel column (or G pixel column) can be less than the voltage on the turn-off signal line corresponding to the B pixel column. This can further save power consumption.
[0226] This exemplary embodiment also provides a display panel, which may include a substrate, a shielding layer, a first active layer, a first gate layer, a second gate layer, a second active layer, a third gate layer, a first source / drain layer, a second source / drain layer, and a third source / drain layer stacked sequentially.

The off signal connection line 4VL and the eleventh bridging portion 411 are connected in the same layer. The orthographic projection of the off signal connection line 4VL on the substrate can at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first gate line G1 on the substrate, thereby improving the integration of the display panel.The twelfth bridging section 412 can be connected via vias to the twentieth active section 720, the fifth gate line segment G51, the third gate line segment G31, and the twenty-fifth active section 925, respectively, to connect the second terminal of the ninth transistor T9, the second terminal of the tenth transistor T10, and the gate of the second transistor T2.

[0240] In this exemplary embodiment, the first gate segments G11 are spaced apart, and the twenty-first active part 721 can be located in the gap between two adjacent first gate segments G11 in the first direction X, so that the eighteenth bridging part 418 can bridge the twenty-first active part 721 and the first gate segments G11.

In the same pixel driving circuit group Pivz, the orthographic projections of the fifth conductive portions 55 located in different pixel driving circuit subgroups and adjacent in the first direction X are spaced apart on the substrate, and other adjacent fifth conductive portions 55 in the first direction X can be interconnected. The orthographic projection of the fifth conductive portion 55 on the substrate can at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the second active portion 92 on the substrate; for example, the orthographic projection of the fifth conductive portion 55 on the substrate can cover the orthographic projection of the second active portion 92 on the substrate. The fifth conductive portion 55 can shield the second active portion 92 to reduce the influence of light on the characteristics of the second transistor T2. The orthographic projection of the fifth conductive portion 55 on the substrate can at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first bridging portion 41 on the substrate. For example, the orthographic projection of the fifth conductive portion 55 on the substrate can cover the orthographic projection of the first bridging portion 41 on the substrate. The fifth conductive portion 55 can shield the interference of other signals to the first bridging portion 41, thereby improving the voltage stability of the driving transistor gate.
[0242] The thirteenth bridge section 513 can be connected to the tenth bridge section 410 via a via to connect to the second terminal of the sixth transistor T6. The fourteenth bridge section 514 can be connected to the sixth bridge section 46 via a via to connect to the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4.
[0243] The orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the turn-off signal line VGL on the substrate can extend along the second direction Y. The fourth gate line G4 can be connected to the second bridging portion 42 via a via to connect to the gates of the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10. The turn-off signal line VGL can be connected to the eleventh bridging portion 411 via a via to connect to the first terminal of the tenth transistor T10. The turn-off signal line VGL and the turn-off signal connection line 4VL can form a mesh structure. The mesh structure of the turn-off signal line VGL has a smaller resistance, thereby improving the uniformity of the voltage of the turn-off signal line VGL at different positions on the display panel, and thus improving the uniformity of the display panel display.
[0244] As shown in Figures 12, 18, 19, and 28, the second bridging portion 42 may include a first sub-bridging portion 421 and a second sub-bridging portion 423. The orthographic projection of the first sub-bridging portion 421 on the substrate extends along the second direction Y, and the orthographic projection of the second sub-bridging portion 423 on the substrate extends along the first direction X. The first sub-bridging portion 421 is connected to the second conductive portion 12 through a via, and the second sub-bridging portion 423 is connected to the fourth conductive portion 24 and the sixth conductive portion 36 through vias, respectively. The orthographic projection of the first sub-bridging portion 421 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the turn-off signal line VGL on the substrate are located on opposite sides of the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate. In contrast, the orthographic projection of the first sub-bridging portion 421 on the substrate is located between the orthographic projection of the turn-off signal line VGL and the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate. This arrangement can reduce the parasitic capacitance between the fourth gate line G4, the turn-off signal line VGL, and the first sub-bridging portion 421.
[0245] As shown in Figures 12, 18, 19, and 28, the turn-off signal connection line 4VL can be connected through the seventeenth bridging portion 417 and the eleventh bridging portion 411. The orthographic projection of the seventeenth bridging portion 417 on the substrate can extend along the second direction Y, and the orthographic projection of the seventeenth bridging portion 417 on the substrate can at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate. For example, the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate can cover the orthographic projection of the seventeenth bridging portion 417 on the substrate. The seventeenth bridging portion 417 can shield the interference of the fourth gate line G4 to the signal nodes in the pixel driving circuit.
[0246] As shown in Figures 12 and 20, the third source / drain layer may include: a data line Da, a first power line VDD, a fifteenth bridging portion 615, and a sixteenth bridging portion 616. The orthographic projections of the data line Da and the first power line VDD on the substrate can extend along the second direction Y. The data line Da is used to provide the data signal terminal in Figure 6, and the first power line VDD is used to provide the first power terminal in Figure 6. The data line Da can be connected to the fourteenth bridging portion 514 through a via to connect the data signal terminal and the first terminal of the fourth transistor. There can be multiple first power lines VDD, and the orthographic projections of the multiple first power lines VDD on the substrate extend along the second direction Y and are spaced apart along the first direction X. One first power line VDD can be provided for each of two adjacent pixel driving circuit columns. The first power line VDD can be connected to the fifth conductive portion 55, which intersects with its orthographic projection on the substrate, through a via. In the same pixel driving circuit group Pivz, the first power line VDD may not be provided on two adjacent pixel driving circuit columns located in different pixel driving circuit subgroups. In the same pixel driving circuit group Pivz, the fifth conductive part 55 located in different pixel driving circuit subgroups and adjacent in the first direction X can be bridged by the sixteenth bridging part 616. The fifteenth bridging part 615 can be connected to the thirteenth bridging part 513 through a via.
[0247] As shown in Figures 12 and 20, the orthographic projection of the sixteenth bridging portion 616 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the tenth active portion 910 on the substrate at least partially overlap. For example, the orthographic projection of the sixteenth bridging portion 616 on the substrate may cover the orthographic projection of the tenth active portion 910 on the substrate. The sixteenth bridging portion 616 can shield the tenth active portion 910 from light to reduce the influence of light on the characteristics of the tenth transistor T10.
[0248] As shown in Figures 12 and 20, the first power line VDD can be connected via a via to the fifth conductive portion 55, which intersects with its orthographic projection on the substrate. The first power line VDD, the fifth conductive portion 55, and the third conductive portion 23 can form a grid structure. This arrangement can reduce the voltage difference of the first power line at different locations on the display panel, thereby improving the uniformity of the display panel.
[0249] It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the first gate segment G1 can be continuously arranged. For example, as shown in Figures 29-32, Figure 29 is a structural layout of the shielding layer, the first active layer, the first gate layer, the second gate layer, the second active layer, the third gate layer, and the first source / drain layer in another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure; Figure 30 is a structural layout of the first active layer in the display panel shown in Figure 29; Figure 31 is a structural layout of the shielding layer, the first active layer, and the first gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 29; and Figure 32 is a structural layout of the shielding layer, the first active layer, the first gate layer, and the second gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 29.
[0250] The display panel shown in Figure 29 differs from the display panel shown in Figure 12 in that the twenty-first active part 721 is located on one side of the ninth active part 79 in the first direction X. The orthographic projection of the twenty-first active part 721 on the substrate is located on the side where the orthographic projection of the first gate line G1 on the substrate is in the second direction Y. This arrangement allows the via between the eighteenth bridging part 418 and the first gate line G1 to be misaligned with the via between the eighteenth bridging part 418 and the twenty-first active part 721 in the second direction Y, so that the first gate line G1 can be continuously arranged in the first direction X.
[0251] In addition, the first gate segment G1 can also be located in other conductive layers, for example, the first gate segment G1 can be located in the third gate layer, the first source / drain layer, etc.
[0252] It should be noted that the other structures of the display panel shown in Figure 29 and the display panel shown in Figure 12 can be the same.
[0253] Figure 33 shows a partial cross-sectional view of the display panel shown in Figure 12, cut along the dashed line AA. 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 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 single-layer or multi-layer structures, and 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 planarization layer 108 and the second planarization layer 109 can be organic materials, such as polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), silicon-glass bonded structure (SOG), etc. The passivation layer 107 can be a silicon oxide layer. The substrate 100 can include a glass substrate, a barrier layer, and a polyimide layer stacked sequentially, and the barrier layer can be an inorganic material. The materials of the first gate layer, second gate layer, and third gate layer can be molybdenum, aluminum, copper, titanium, niobium, or alloys thereof, or molybdenum / titanium alloys or stacked conductive layers. The materials of the first source / drain layer, second source / drain layer, and third source / drain layer can include metallic materials, for example, molybdenum, aluminum, copper, titanium, niobium, or alloys thereof, or molybdenum / titanium alloys or stacked layers, or titanium / aluminum / titanium stacked conductive layers. The sheet resistance of any one of the first source / drain layer, second source / drain layer, and third source / drain layer can be less than the sheet resistance of any one of the first gate layer, second gate layer, and third gate layer.
[0254] This exemplary embodiment also provides a structural layout of another exemplary embodiment, wherein the display panel may include a substrate, a shielding layer, a first active layer, a first gate layer, a second gate layer, a second active layer, a third gate layer, a first source / drain layer, a second source / drain layer, and a third source / drain layer stacked sequentially. An insulating layer may be disposed between adjacent layers. As shown in Figures 34-41, Figure 34 is a structural layout diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure, Figure 35 is a structural layout diagram of the first gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 34, Figure 36 is a structural layout diagram of the second gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 34, Figure 37 is a structural layout diagram of the first source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 34, Figure 38 is a structural layout diagram of the second source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 34, Figure 39 is a structural layout diagram of the shielding layer, the first active layer, and the first gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 34, Figure 40 is a structural layout diagram of the shielding layer, the first active layer, the first gate layer, and the second gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 34, and Figure 41 is a structural layout diagram of the shielding layer, the first active layer, the first gate layer, the second gate layer, the second active layer, the third gate layer, and the first source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 34.
[0255] The difference between the display panel shown in Figure 34 and the display panel shown in Figure 12 is:
[0256] As shown in Figures 34, 35, and 39, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 12, the second conductive part 12 in the display panel shown in Figure 34 includes two first via connection parts 121. The orthographic projections of the two first via connection parts 121 on the substrate are located on both sides of the orthographic projection of the ninth active part 79 on the substrate in the first direction X.
[0257] As shown in Figures 34, 36, and 40, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 12, the second via bridge 29 connected to the third grid line segment G31 in the display panel shown in Figure 34 is slightly offset to the right.
[0258] As shown in Figures 34, 37, and 41, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 12, the second bridging portion 42 in the display panel shown in Figure 34 includes two first sub-bridging portions 421. The orthographic projections of the two first sub-bridging portions 421 on the substrate extend along the second direction Y. The orthographic projection of the second sub-bridging portion 423 on the substrate extends along the first direction X. The second sub-bridging portion 423 connects the two first sub-bridging portions 421. The two first sub-bridging portions 421 are respectively connected to the two first via connection portions 121 of the same second conductive portion 12 through vias. The second sub-bridging portion 423 is respectively connected to the fourth conductive portion 24 and the sixth conductive portion 36 through vias. This arrangement connects the gates of the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 through the two first sub-bridging portions 421, thereby reducing the resistance between the gates of the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10, and thus enhancing the control over the gate voltages of the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10. Furthermore, the orthographic projections of the two first sub-bridge portions 421 on the substrate can be located on either side of the orthographic projection of the twelfth bridge portion 412 on the substrate.
[0259] As shown in Figures 34, 37, and 41, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 12, the eleventh bridging portion 411 in the display panel shown in Figure 34 includes two third via connection portions 4113.
[0260] As shown in Figures 34 and 38, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 12, the pixel driving circuit group Pivz in the display panel shown in Figure 34 can be provided with two shutdown signal lines VGL. The orthographic projections of the two shutdown signal lines VGL on the substrate can extend along the second direction Y and are respectively located on both sides of the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate. The two shutdown signal lines VGL can be respectively connected to two third via connection portions 4113 in the same eleventh bridge portion 411 through vias. This arrangement can further reduce the resistance of the shutdown signal lines, thereby improving the uniformity of the display panel. At the same time, this arrangement can also shield the signal interference between the pixel driving circuit and the fourth gate line G4 through the two shutdown signal lines VGL.
[0261] As shown in Figures 34 and 38, two turn-off signal lines VGL are respectively provided corresponding to two first sub-bridge portions 421 in the same second bridge portion. The orthographic projection of the turn-off signal line VGL on the substrate and the orthographic projection of its corresponding first sub-bridge portion 421 on the substrate at least partially overlap, for example, the orthographic projection of the turn-off signal line VGL on the substrate covers the orthographic projection of its corresponding first sub-bridge portion 421 on the substrate. The two turn-off signal lines VGL can simultaneously shield the second bridge portion 42 to reduce interference between the second bridge portion 42 and other signals.
[0262] It should be noted that the other structures of the display panel shown in Figure 34 can be the same as those of the display panel shown in Figure 12.
[0263] This exemplary embodiment also provides a structural layout of another exemplary embodiment. The display panel may include a substrate, a shielding layer, a first active layer, a first gate layer, a second gate layer, a second active layer, a third gate layer, a first source / drain layer, a second source / drain layer, and a third source / drain layer, which are sequentially stacked. An insulating layer may be disposed between adjacent layers. As shown in Figures 42-45, Figure 42 is a structural layout of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure, Figure 43 is a structural layout of the second gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 42, Figure 44 is a structural layout of the first source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 42, and Figure 45 is a structural layout of the shielding layer, the first active layer, the first gate layer, and the second gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 42.
[0264] The difference between the display panel shown in Figure 42 and the display panel shown in Figure 34 is:
[0265] As shown in Figures 42, 43, 44, and 45, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 34, the display panel shown in Figure 42 does not have a first gate line on the second gate layer, but has a first gate line G1 on the first source / drain layer. The first gate line G1 can be directly connected to the twenty-first active part 721 through a via to connect to the first electrode of the ninth transistor. The first gate line G1 can be used to provide the first gate drive signal terminal in Figure 6.
[0266] As shown in Figures 42, 43, 44, and 45, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 34, the display panel in Figure 42 does not have a turn-off signal connection line 4VL in the first source / drain layer, while the first gate line G1 is positioned at the location of the turn-off signal connection line 4VL in Figure 34. In this exemplary embodiment, since the sheet resistance of the first source / drain layer is less than the sheet resistance of the second gate layer, this setting can reduce the self-resistance of the first gate line G1, thereby reducing the voltage drop of the first gate line G1 and improving the uniformity of the display panel.
[0267] This exemplary embodiment also provides a structural layout of another exemplary embodiment, wherein the display panel may include a substrate, a shielding layer, a first active layer, a first gate layer, a second gate layer, a second active layer, a third gate layer, a first source / drain layer, a second source / drain layer, and a third source / drain layer stacked sequentially. An insulating layer may be disposed between adjacent layers. As shown in Figures 46-53, Figure 46 is a structural layout diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure, Figure 47 is a structural layout diagram of the first gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 46, Figure 48 is a structural layout diagram of the second gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 46, Figure 49 is a structural layout diagram of the first source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 46, Figure 50 is a structural layout diagram of the second source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 46, Figure 51 is a structural layout diagram of the shielding layer, the first active layer, and the first gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 46, Figure 52 is a structural layout diagram of the shielding layer, the first active layer, the first gate layer, and the second gate layer in the display panel shown in Figure 46, and Figure 53 is a structural layout diagram of the shielding layer, the first active layer, the first gate layer, the second gate layer, the second active layer, the third gate layer, and the first source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 46.
[0268] The difference between the display panel shown in Figure 46 and the display panel shown in Figure 42 is:
[0269] As shown in Figures 46, 47, and 51, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 42, the second conductive part 12 in the display panel shown in Figure 46 includes a first through-hole connection part 121.
[0270] As shown in Figures 46, 48, and 52, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 42, the second via bridge 29 connected to the third grid line segment G31 in the display panel shown in Figure 46 is slightly offset to the left.
[0271] As shown in Figures 46, 49, and 53, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 42, the second bridging portion 42 in the display panel shown in Figure 46 includes a first sub-bridging portion 421 and a second sub-bridging portion 423. The orthographic projection of the first sub-bridging portion 421 on the substrate extends along the second direction Y, and the orthographic projection of the second sub-bridging portion 423 on the substrate extends along the first direction X. The first sub-bridging portion 421 is connected to the first via connection portion 121 through a via, and the second sub-bridging portion 423 is connected to the fourth conductive portion 24 and the sixth conductive portion 36 through vias, respectively.
[0272] As shown in Figures 46, 49, and 53, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 42, the eleventh bridging portion 411 in the display panel shown in Figure 46 includes a third via connection portion 4113.
[0273] As shown in Figures 46 and 50, compared to the display panel shown in Figure 42, the pixel driving circuit group Pivz in the display panel shown in Figure 46 is provided with a corresponding shutdown signal line VGL. The orthogonal projection of the shutdown signal line VGL on the substrate can extend along the second direction Y. The shutdown signal line VGL can be connected to the third via connection part 4113 through a via.
[0274] As shown in Figures 46 and 50, the orthographic projection of the turn-off signal line VGL on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the first sub-bridge portion 421 on the substrate are located on opposite sides of the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate. In contrast, the orthographic projection of the first sub-bridge portion 421 on the substrate is located between the orthographic projections of the turn-off signal line VGL and the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate. This arrangement can reduce the parasitic capacitance of the fourth gate line G4, the turn-off signal line VGL, and the first sub-bridge portion 421.
[0275] It should be noted that the other structures of the display panel shown in Figure 46 can be the same as those of the display panel shown in Figure 42.
[0276] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 12-53, in the same pixel driving circuit subgroup, two pixel driving circuits located in the same pixel driving circuit row are at least partially mirror-symmetrically arranged. The mirror symmetry plane of the two pixel driving circuits may be perpendicular to the substrate. Furthermore, the orthographic projections of the two pixel driving circuits onto the substrate may at least partially be symmetrically arranged with the intersection of the mirror symmetry plane and the substrate as the axis of symmetry.
[0277] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG12-53, in the same pixel driving circuit row, the orthographic projection of the ninth active portion 79 on the substrate is located between the orthographic projection of the second gate line G2 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the first reset signal line Re1 on the substrate. In the same pixel driving circuit row, the orthographic projection of the tenth active portion 910 on the substrate is located between the orthographic projection of the fifth gate line G5 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the enable signal line EM on the substrate.
[0278] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 12-53, the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate lies between the orthographic projections of the two pixel driving circuit subgroups Pivz1 within the same pixel driving circuit group Pivz on the substrate. The orthographic projection of the turn-off signal line VGL on the substrate lies between the orthographic projections of the two pixel driving circuit subgroups Pivz1 within the same pixel driving circuit group Pivz on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the turn-off signal line VGL on the substrate lies between the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit subgroup Pivz1 on the substrate. This exemplary embodiment can shield the coupling effect of the fourth gate line G4 on each node in the pixel driving circuit through the turn-off signal line VGL.
[0279] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 12-53, the pixel driving circuit group can be compressed in the first direction X to free up space for setting the control circuit K. Correspondingly, the distance between the orthographic projections of two adjacent pixel driving circuit columns Piv located in different pixel driving circuit groups Pivz on the substrate is less than the distance between the orthographic projections of two adjacent pixel driving circuit columns Piv located in different pixel driving circuit groups Pivz within the same pixel driving circuit group Pivz on the substrate. The distance between the orthographic projections of adjacent pixel driving circuit columns on the substrate can be understood as the distance between the orthographic projections of the channel regions of the two nearest transistors in adjacent pixel driving circuit columns on the substrate in the first direction.
[0280] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 12-53, the second bridging portion 42 and the shutdown signal line VGL are located on different conductive layers, and the orthographic projection of the shutdown signal line VGL on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second bridging portion 42 on the substrate at least partially overlap. The shutdown signal line VGL can shield the second bridging portion 42. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the second bridging portion 42 may also be located at other positions.
[0281] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 12-53, the black squares with chamfers drawn on the side of the first source / drain layer away from the substrate represent vias connecting the first source / drain layer to other layers facing the substrate; the black squares drawn on the side of the second source / drain layer away from the substrate represent vias connecting the second source / drain layer to other layers facing the substrate; and the black circles drawn on the side of the third source / drain layer away from the substrate represent vias connecting the third source / drain layer to other layers facing the substrate. Vias at different positions can penetrate different insulating layers.
[0282] It should be understood that, in other exemplary embodiments, the first gate line can be a multi-layer structure, i.e., the first gate line includes multiple sub-gate lines, each located in a different conductive layer, and the sub-gate lines located in different conductive layers can be connected via vias. This arrangement can further reduce the resistance of the first gate line. For example, at least two sub-gate lines in the same first gate line are located in a second gate layer and a first source / drain layer, respectively. Multiple sub-gate lines in the same first gate line can be connected via vias in the bezel area of the display panel, and multiple sub-gate lines in the same first gate line can be connected via vias in the display area of the display panel.
[0283] It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the fourth gate line G4 and the turn-off signal line VGL may also be located in other positions. For example, the fourth gate line G4 and the turn-off signal line VGL may also be located in the third source-drain layer. Accordingly, the fifth conductive portions 55 distributed at intervals in the first direction may be connected in the same layer, and the sixteenth bridging portion 616 may not be provided in the third source-drain layer.
[0284] As shown in Figures 54-57, Figure 54 is a structural layout diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure, Figure 55 is a structural layout diagram of the shielding layer, the first active layer, the first gate layer, the second gate layer, the second active layer, the third gate layer, and the first source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 54, Figure 56 is a structural layout diagram of the first source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 54, and Figure 57 is a structural layout diagram of the second source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 54.
[0285] As shown in Figures 54-57, the first source / drain layer includes a first sub-bridge portion 421 and a second sub-bridge portion 423. The first sub-bridge portion 421 is connected to the gate of the ninth transistor T9 through a via; the second sub-bridge portion 423 is spaced apart from the first sub-bridge portion 421, and the second sub-bridge portion 423 is connected to the gate of the tenth transistor T10 through a via; wherein, the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate extends along the second direction Y, and the fourth gate line G4 is connected to the first sub-bridge portion 421 and the second sub-bridge portion 423 through vias respectively.
[0286] Unlike the display panel shown in Figure 12, in the display panel shown in Figure 54, the second sub-bridging portion 423 and the first sub-bridging portion 421 are spaced apart. The first sub-bridging portion 421 does not need to be a long strip extending along the second direction Y. This arrangement can reduce the parasitic capacitance between the fourth gate line G4 and the first sub-bridging portion 421, thereby reducing the overall parasitic capacitance of the fourth gate line G4. As shown in Figures 54-57, the first sub-bridging portion 421 can be square, circular, polygonal, or other shapes. The ratio of the size of the orthographic projection of the first sub-bridging portion 421 on the substrate in the second direction Y to the size of the orthographic projection of the first sub-bridging portion 421 on the substrate in the first direction X can be greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 2. For example, this ratio can be equal to 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2, etc.
[0287] As shown in Figures 54-57, the second source / drain layer may further include a protrusion 510, and the protrusion 510 is connected to the fourth gate line G4. The orthographic projection of the protrusion 510 on the substrate is located on the side where the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate is in the first direction X. The fourth gate line G4 is connected to the first sub-bridge portion 421 through the via of the protrusion 510. That is, the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the via connecting the fourth gate line G4 and the protrusion 510 on the substrate do not overlap.
[0288] As shown in Figures 58 and 59, Figure 58 is a structural layout diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the display panel of this disclosure, and Figure 59 is a structural layout diagram of the shielding layer, the first active layer, the first gate layer, the second gate layer, the second active layer, the third gate layer, and the first source / drain layer in the display panel shown in Figure 58.
[0289] Unlike the display panel shown in Figure 54, in the display panel shown in Figure 58, the first sub-bridge portion 421 can extend below the fourth gate line G4, so that the fourth gate line G4 can be directly connected to the first sub-bridge portion 421 through a via. That is, the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the via connecting the first sub-bridge portion 421 and the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate. This arrangement can eliminate the need for the protrusion portion 510, thereby further reducing the parasitic capacitance of the fourth gate line G4.
[0290] As shown in Figures 54-59, the orthographic projection of the via connecting the first sub-bridge portion 421 and the gate of the ninth transistor T9 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the fourth gate line G4 on the substrate do not overlap.
