[0121] With the development of OLED display technology, product performance is continuously optimized, and reducing screen power consumption has become the direction of the development of OLED display products at the present stage. However, in the traditional OLED display product, because the light emitting materials of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) sub-pixels are different, the voltages for turning on the R, G, and B sub-pixels, resetting the anode, and initializing are different. In order to enable sub-pixels of different colors to emit light normally, the related art adopts a larger voltage value for each of the above voltages to simultaneously meet the needs of different sub-pixels, but this way increases the power consumption of the display product. Therefore, how to reduce the power consumption of the display product has become a technical problem to be solved.

This arrangement enables the first initialization signal line to provide initialization signals matching the requirements of at least two colors of sub-pixels for the at least two colors of sub-pixels, and enables the second initialization signal line to provide initialization signals matching the requirements of at least one color of sub-pixels for the at least one color of sub-pixels, thereby realizing separate driving of initialization signals in at least part of sub-pixels of different colors and reducing the power consumption of the display product.
[0134] Therefore, in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, initialization signals meeting the requirements of sub-pixels of different colors can be adaptively provided according to the actual requirements of sub-pixels of different colors, and it is not necessary to provide initialization signals meeting the requirements of all colors of sub-pixels. Therefore, the initialization signals provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure do not need to be compatible with a larger voltage value meeting the requirements of various colors of sub-pixels, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the display panel.
[0135] As shown in FIGS. 19 and 26, in some embodiments, the plurality of sub-pixels includes a plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits arranged in an array; the plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits is divided into a plurality of rows of sub-pixel driving circuit rows, and each row of sub-pixel driving circuit rows includes a plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits arranged along a first direction.
[0136] The display panel includes a plurality of first initialization signal lines, and each first initialization signal line is coupled with each sub-pixel driving circuit belonging to the at least two colors of sub-pixels in a corresponding row of sub-pixel driving circuit rows.

[0139] The display panel comprises a plurality of the second initialization signal lines, and each of the second initialization signal lines is coupled to each sub-pixel drive circuit of the sub-pixels belonging to the at least one color in the corresponding column of sub-pixel drive circuits.
[0140] For example, the plurality of the second initialization signal lines correspond to the plurality of columns of sub-pixel drive circuits one by one, and each of the second initialization signal lines is coupled to each sub-pixel drive circuit of the sub-pixels belonging to the at least one color in the corresponding column of sub-pixel drive circuits. For example, the column of sub-pixel drive circuits comprises the sub-pixel drive circuits of the sub-pixels belonging to the at least one color.
[0141] The display panel provided by the above embodiment arranges the plurality of first initialization signal lines in the second direction and couples the first initialization signal lines to the sub-pixel drive circuits in the corresponding row of sub-pixel drive circuits, and arranges the plurality of first initialization signal lines in the first direction and couples the first initialization signal lines to the sub-pixel drive circuits in the corresponding column of sub-pixel drive circuits. This arrangement reasonably utilizes the limited layout space inside the display panel, and effectively reduces the layout difficulty of various initialization signal lines inside the display panel while providing corresponding initialization signal terminals for sub-pixels of different colors.
[0142] As shown in FIGS. 1, 3-21, in some embodiments, the first initialization signal lines comprise a first second initialization signal line V21, and the second initialization signal lines comprise a second second initialization signal line V22.
[0143] The sub-pixel comprises a sub-pixel drive circuit and a light emitting element, and the sub-pixel drive circuit comprises a second reset transistor T7, and a second electrode of the second reset transistor T7 is coupled to an anode of the light emitting element.

[0145] As shown in FIG. 4, for example, in the sub-pixel drive circuits coupled to the same first second initialization signal line V21, the first electrodes of the second reset transistors T7 included in at least some adjacent sub-pixel drive circuits form an integrated structure, and in the same row of sub-pixel drive circuits, the first electrodes of the second reset transistors T7 connected to the first second initialization signal line V21 are independent of the first electrodes of the second reset transistors T7 connected to the second second initialization signal line V22.

[0147] The two sub-pixel drive circuits in the group of first circuits DL1 include a first electrode of a second reset transistor T7 formed as an integral structure; the two sub-pixel drive circuits in the group of second circuits DL2 include a first electrode of a second reset transistor T7 independent of each other.
[0148] The above arrangement is conducive to reducing the difficulty of coupling between the first electrode of the second reset transistor T7 in each sub-pixel drive circuit and the corresponding first or second second initialization signal line V21 or V22, while ensuring that the first electrode of the second reset transistor T7 in each sub-pixel drive circuit can accurately receive the initialization signal provided by the corresponding initialization signal line.
[0149] The above arrangement can adaptively provide second initialization signals that meet the needs of sub-pixels of different colors according to the actual needs of sub-pixels of different colors, without providing second initialization signals that meet the needs of all color sub-pixels. Therefore, the second initialization signal provided by the above embodiment does not need to be compatible with a larger voltage value that meets the needs of sub-pixels of various colors, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the display panel.
[0150] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 10, in some embodiments, the plurality of sub-pixel drive circuits in the row of sub-pixel drive circuits are divided into a plurality of groups of circuits arranged along a first direction, each group of circuits includes two adjacent sub-pixel drive circuits, the gate electrodes of the second reset transistors T7 included in the two sub-pixel drive circuits form a gate pattern 40 of an integral structure; the display panel further includes a second scan line GA2, the second scan line GA2 is coupled with each gate pattern 40 in a corresponding row of sub-pixel drive circuits, and the second scan line GA2 and the gate pattern 40 are arranged in different layers.
[0151] As shown in FIG. 17, for example, the plurality of groups of circuits include the groups of first circuits DL1 and the groups of second circuits DL2, but are not limited thereto.
[0152] Exemplarily, the display panel further comprises a plurality of second scan lines GA2 corresponding to the plurality of rows of sub-pixel driving circuit rows, each of the second scan lines GA2 is coupled with each gate pattern 40 in a corresponding row of sub-pixel driving circuit rows, for providing a second scan signal to the gate pattern coupled with the second scan line, so as to control the second reset transistor T7 to transmit the second initialization signal received by the second reset transistor T7 to the anode of the light emitting element.
[0153] Exemplarily, the display panel further comprises a first gate metal layer and a second gate metal layer, the first gate metal layer is located between the second gate metal layer and the substrate; the gate pattern 40 is arranged in the same layer and of the same material as the first gate metal layer, and the second scan line GA2 is arranged in the same layer and of the same material as the second gate metal layer.
[0154] The above arrangement is not only conducive to simplifying the manufacturing process flow of the display panel, but also conducive to reducing the layout difficulty of the second scan line GA2.
[0155] As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, in some embodiments, the display panel further comprises a data line DA and a power supply line (such as a first power supply line VDD1 and a second power supply line VDD2); the data line DA is coupled with each sub-pixel driving circuit in a corresponding column of sub-pixel driving circuit columns; the power supply line is coupled with each sub-pixel driving circuit in a corresponding column of sub-pixel driving circuit columns.

[0160] Exemplarily, the second second initialization signal line V22 is located between two power supply lines corresponding to a circuit group to which the sub-pixel driving circuit coupled to the second second initialization signal line V22 belongs.
[0161] The above arrangement makes the second second initialization signal line V22 have a closer distance to the first electrode of the second reset transistor T7 to be coupled to the second second initialization signal line V22, and better realize the electrical connection between the second second initialization signal line V22 and the first electrode of the second reset transistor T7, and reduce the overall layout difficulty of the display panel.

[0163] A first initialization compensation line VB1, at least part of the first initialization compensation line VB1 extends along the second direction, and the first initialization compensation line VB1 is coupled to each of the first second initialization signal lines V21;
[0164] The first initialization compensation line VB1 and the second second initialization signal line V22 are arranged alternately along the first direction, and the first initialization compensation line VB1 is located between two adjacent power supply lines forming a first power supply group DY1.
[0165] The two adjacent power supply lines of the second second initialization signal line V22 form a second power supply group DY2, and the first power supply group DY1 and the second power supply group DY2 are arranged alternately.
[0166] Exemplarily, the first power supply group DY1 corresponds to the first circuit group DL1 one by one, and the second power supply group DY2 corresponds to the second circuit group DL2 one by one. The first initialization compensation line VB1 is located between the two power supply lines in the corresponding first power supply group DY1, and the second second initialization signal line V22 is located between the two power supply lines in the corresponding second power supply group DY2.
[0167] Exemplarily, the first initialization compensation line VB1 and the second second initialization signal line V22 are arranged in the same layer and the same material as the second source-drain metal layer, but are not limited thereto.
[0168] The above arrangement makes the overall layout of the second source-drain metal layer have better uniformity, and the above structure can make the first initialization compensation line VB1 and the first second initialization signal line V21 jointly form a mesh structure, thereby facilitating reducing the loading of the first second initialization signal line V21 in transmitting the second initialization signal.
[0169] As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, in some embodiments, the display panel further comprises:
[0170] a first dummy compensation line Dum1, at least part of the first dummy compensation line Dum1 extends along the second direction, the first dummy compensation line Dum1 is arranged alternately with the second second initialization signal line V22 along the first direction, the first dummy compensation line Dum1 is located between two adjacent power lines forming a first power group DY1;
[0171] the two adjacent power lines of the second second initialization signal line V22 form a second power group DY2, and the first power group DY1 and the second power group DY2 are arranged alternately.
[0172] For example, the first power group DY1 corresponds to the first circuit group DL1 one by one, and the second power group DY2 corresponds to the second circuit group DL2 one by one. The first dummy compensation line Dum1 is located between two power lines in the corresponding first power group DY1, and the second second initialization signal line V22 is located between two power lines in the corresponding second power group DY2.
[0173] For example, the first dummy compensation line Dum1 and the second second initialization signal line V22 are arranged in the same layer and material as the second source-drain metal layer, but are not limited thereto.
[0174] The above arrangement makes the overall layout of the second source-drain metal layer have better uniformity.
[0175] As shown in FIG. 26, in some embodiments, the sub-pixel comprises a sub-pixel driving circuit and a light emitting element, the sub-pixel driving circuit comprises a second reset transistor T7, and the second electrode of the second reset transistor T7 is coupled with the anode of the light emitting element.
[0176] The display panel comprises a second initialization signal line V2, at least part of the second initialization signal line V2 extends along the first direction; and the first electrode of the second reset transistor T7 included in each sub-pixel driving circuit in the corresponding row of sub-pixel driving circuits is coupled with the second initialization signal line V2.
[0177] For example, the display panel comprises a plurality of second initialization signal lines V2, the plurality of second initialization signal lines V2 correspond to the plurality of rows of sub-pixel driving circuits one by one, and the first electrode of the second reset transistor T7 included in each sub-pixel driving circuit in the corresponding row of sub-pixel driving circuits is coupled with the second initialization signal line V2.
[0178] The above arrangement enables the sub-pixels of various colors to receive the same second initialization signal.
[0179] As shown in FIGS. 26-34, in some embodiments, the first initialization signal line includes a first third initialization signal line Vbias1, and the second initialization signal line includes a second third initialization signal line Vbias2.
[0180] The sub-pixel includes a sub-pixel driving circuit and a light emitting element coupled thereto, and the sub-pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor T3 and a third reset transistor T8, a second electrode of the third reset transistor T8 being coupled to a first electrode of the driving transistor T3.
[0181] The first electrode of the third reset transistor T8 in the sub-pixel of at least two colors is coupled to the corresponding first third initialization signal line Vbias1, and the first electrode of the third reset transistor T8 in the sub-pixel of at least one color is coupled to the corresponding second third initialization signal line Vbias2.
[0182] For example, the third reset transistor T8 resets the first electrode of the driving transistor T3 using the third initialization signal, which can improve the hysteresis effect.
[0183] It is worth noting that when the sub-pixel driving circuit is laid out, the gate of the second reset transistor T7 and the gate of the third reset transistor T8 can be coupled to the same second scan line, which can reduce the number of traces and is conducive to further improving the resolution of the display panel.
[0184] The above arrangement can adaptively provide third initialization signals that meet the needs of sub-pixels of different colors according to the actual needs of sub-pixels of different colors, without providing third initialization signals that meet the needs of all color sub-pixels. Therefore, the third initialization signal provided by the above embodiment does not need to be compatible with a larger voltage value that meets the needs of sub-pixels of various colors, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the display panel.
[0185] As shown in FIGS. 26-30, in some embodiments, the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 is located between a data line DA connected to the sub-pixel driving circuit to which the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 is coupled and a data line DA adjacent to the data line DA.
[0186] The data line DA connected to the sub-pixel driving circuit to which the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 is coupled is located between the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 and a power supply line connected to the sub-pixel driving circuit to which the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 is coupled.
[0187] The above arrangement mode makes the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 and the first electrode of the third reset transistor T8 to be coupled have a closer distance, and can better realize the electrical connection between the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 and the first electrode of the third reset transistor T8, and reduce the overall layout difficulty of the display panel.
[0188] As shown in FIG. 31, in some embodiments, the display panel further comprises:
[0189] A second initialization compensation line VB2, at least part of the second initialization compensation line VB2 extends along the second direction, and the second initialization compensation line VB2 is coupled with each of the first third initialization signal lines Vbias1;

[0191] The second third initialization signal line Vbias2 and the two adjacent data lines DA form a second data group SJ2, and the first data group SJ1 and the second data group SJ2 are arranged alternately.
[0192] For example, in each data group, the distance between the two data lines is substantially the same, which is beneficial to ensure the layout uniformity of the display panel.
[0193] For example, the second initialization compensation line and the second third initialization signal line are arranged in the same layer and the same material with the second source-drain metal layer, but are not limited thereto.
[0194] The above arrangement mode makes the second source-drain metal layer have better uniformity in overall layout, and the above structure can make the second initialization compensation line and the first third initialization signal line form a mesh structure together, thereby being beneficial to reduce the loading of the first third initialization signal line in transmitting the third initialization signal.
[0195] As shown in FIG. 32, in some embodiments, the display panel further comprises:
[0196] A second virtual compensation line Dum2, at least part of the second virtual compensation line Dum2 extends along the second direction, and the second virtual compensation line Dum2 is arranged alternately with the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 along the first direction, and the second virtual compensation line Dum2 is located between two adjacent data lines DA, and the two adjacent data lines DA form a first data group SJ1.
[0197] The second group of data groups SJ2 is formed by two data lines DA adjacent to the second third initialization signal line Vbias2, and the first group of data groups SJ1 and the second group of data groups SJ2 are arranged alternately.
[0198] Exemplarily, the second dummy compensation line Dum2 and the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 are arranged in the same layer and material as the second source-drain metal layer, but are not limited thereto.
[0199] The above arrangement manner makes the overall layout of the second source-drain metal layer have better uniformity.
[0200] As shown in FIG. 27, in some embodiments, the channel length d1 of the driving transistor T3 in the sub-pixel driving circuit coupled with the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 is smaller than the channel length d2 of the driving transistor T3 in the sub-pixel driving circuit coupled with the first third initialization signal line Vbias1.
[0201] It should be noted that the channel length refers to the length in the channel length direction of the channel width-length ratio of the transistor.
[0202] Exemplarily, the difference between the channel length of the driving transistor T3 in the sub-pixel driving circuit coupled with the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 and the channel length of the driving transistor T3 in the sub-pixel driving circuit coupled with the first third initialization signal line Vbias1 is greater than or equal to the line width of the second third initialization signal line Vbias2, but is not limited thereto.
[0203] The above arrangement manner effectively reduces the width of the layout space occupied by the sub-pixel driving circuit coupled with the second third initialization signal line Vbias2 in the first direction, thereby facilitating providing more space for the layout of the second third initialization signal line Vbias2.
[0204] As shown in FIG. 19, in some embodiments, the sub-pixel includes a sub-pixel driving circuit and a light emitting element, the sub-pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor T3 and a third reset transistor T8, the second electrode of the third reset transistor T8 is coupled with the first electrode of the driving transistor T3.

[0208] The above arrangement enables the sub-pixels of various colors to receive the same third initialization signal.
[0209] More specifically, the following specific embodiments are provided in the present disclosure, but not limited thereto.
[0210] Embodiment one: as shown in FIGS. 3-21, the first initialization signal line comprises a first second initialization signal line V21, the second initialization signal line comprises a second second initialization signal line V22, and the display panel comprises a plurality of third initialization signal lines.
[0211] Embodiment two: as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, based on embodiment one, a first initialization compensation line VB1 is added.

[0219] In the related art, the same power voltage is used for all colors of sub-pixels, and since the power voltage needs to match all colors of sub-pixels, i.e., needs to ensure that sub-pixels of various colors can normally emit light, this results in a situation of power waste. Therefore, it is considered to use different power signals to control sub-pixels of different colors, so as to reduce the power consumption of the display panel.
[0220] As shown in FIG. 35, in some embodiments, the display panel further comprises:
[0221] a first power transmission layer and a second power transmission layer, the at least two colors of sub-pixels being coupled with the first power transmission layer; the at least one color of sub-pixel being coupled with the second power transmission layer;
[0222] a power management circuit 10, the power management circuit 10 comprising a power signal output end 101;
[0223] a first connection line L1 and a second connection line L2, the first connection line L1 being coupled with the first power transmission layer and the power signal output end 101 respectively, the second connection line L2 being coupled with the second power transmission layer and the power signal output end 101 respectively; the line width of the first connection line L1 is smaller than the line width of the second connection line L2, and the line length of the first connection line L1 is greater than the line length of the second connection line L2.
[0224] For example, the display panel comprises a display area and a peripheral area, and the peripheral area surrounds the display area, but is not limited thereto.
[0225] For example, the plurality of sub-pixels are located in the display area. The first power transmission layer and the second power transmission layer each comprise a portion located in the display area and a portion located in the peripheral area. The power management circuit 10 is located in the peripheral area. The first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 are located in the peripheral area, for example, the first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 can cross a bending area in the peripheral area.
[0226] As shown in FIG. 35 and FIG. 19, the first power transmission layer includes a first power bus VDDZ1 and a plurality of first power lines VDD1 arranged along a first direction. The first power bus VDDZ1 is located in the peripheral region, and the first power lines VDD1 include a portion located in the display region and a portion located in the peripheral region. The first power lines VDD1 are respectively coupled to the first power bus VDDZ1. The first power lines VDD1 are respectively coupled to the sub-pixel drive circuits of the at least two colors in the corresponding column of sub-pixel drive circuit columns. The first power bus VDDZ1 is coupled to the first connection line L1.
[0227] As shown in FIG. 35 and FIG. 19, the second power transmission layer includes a second power bus VDDZ2 and a plurality of second power lines VDD2 arranged along a first direction. The second power bus VDDZ2 is located in the peripheral region, and the second power lines VDD2 include a portion located in the display region and a portion located in the peripheral region. The second power lines VDD2 are respectively coupled to the second power bus VDDZ2. The second power lines VDD2 are respectively coupled to the sub-pixel drive circuits of the at least one color in the corresponding column of sub-pixel drive circuit columns. The second power bus VDDZ2 is coupled to the second connection line L2.
[0228] The power management circuit 10 includes a power signal output terminal 101. The power management circuit 10 can output only one power signal through the power signal output terminal 101.
[0229] The first connection line L1 can have an arch-shaped trace including a plurality of first extension portions extending along a first direction and a plurality of second extension portions extending along a second direction, but is not limited thereto.
[0230] The first connection line L1 has a line width smaller than a line width of the second connection line L2, and a line length greater than a line length of the second connection line L2. The first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 have different resistances, so that the first power transmission layer and the second power transmission layer can be divided into different voltages.
[0231] For example, the at least two colors of sub-pixels include red sub-pixels and green sub-pixels, and the at least one color of sub-pixels includes blue sub-pixels. The red sub-pixels require a power supply voltage value of 3.9V, and the green sub-pixels require a power supply voltage value of 3.6V. Since the power supply voltage values required by the red sub-pixels and the green sub-pixels are close, the red sub-pixels and the green sub-pixels can be connected to the same first power supply transmission layer. The blue sub-pixels require a power supply voltage value of 4.6V. Since the power supply voltage value required by the blue sub-pixels is large, by setting the line width of the first connection line L1 to be smaller than the line width of the second connection line L2 and the line length of the first connection line L1 to be greater than the line length of the second connection line L2, the first power supply transmission layer and the second power supply transmission layer can be provided with different power supply voltages under the condition that the same power supply signal is provided by the power supply signal output end 101, and the respective requirements can be met.
[0232] For example, since the second power supply signal transmission layer receives a large power supply signal voltage value, the number of the second connection lines L2 can be set to be larger.
[0233] In the display panel provided by the above embodiment, the power supply signal meeting the requirements of sub-pixels of different colors can be adaptively provided according to the actual requirements of sub-pixels of different colors, and the power supply signal meeting the requirements of sub-pixels of all colors does not need to be provided. Therefore, the power supply signal provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure does not need to be compatible with a large voltage value meeting the requirements of sub-pixels of various colors, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the display panel.
[0234] In the display panel provided by the above embodiment, by setting one power management circuit 10 and combining the layout of the first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2, different power supply signals can be provided for different power supply transmission layers, which not only simplifies the complexity of the layout of the peripheral region, but also effectively reduces the research and development cost of the PMIC capable of outputting three power supply signals.
[0235] In the display panel provided by the above embodiment, the power supply signals of sub-pixels of different colors, the separate driving of the second initialization signal and the third initialization signal can be realized without increasing the film layer and the pixel density (PPI), thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the display device.
[0236] As shown in FIGS. 7 to 19, in some embodiments, the sub-pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor T3 and a storage capacitor C, a first plate C1 of the storage capacitor C is coupled to a gate of the driving transistor T3.
[0237] In the same row of sub-pixel driving circuit, the second plate C2 of the storage capacitor C included in each of the sub-pixel driving circuits is coupled in sequence to form a plate layer 80 in an integrated structure, and the plate layer 80 is coupled with the plurality of second power supply lines VDD2.
[0238] The above arrangement not only improves the voltage stabilizing effect of the storage capacitor C, but also reduces the voltage drop of the power signal transmitted by the second power supply transmission layer, and is also conducive to reducing the plate area of the storage capacitor C to some extent, reducing the layout space occupied by the storage capacitor C, and improving the PPI of the display panel.
[0239] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the display panel further comprises:
[0240] A light shielding layer LS is located between the plurality of sub-pixels and the substrate, and the light shielding layer LS is coupled with the second power supply transmission layer.
[0241] For example, the light shielding layer LS is coupled with the second power supply transmission layer in the peripheral area.
[0242] When the at least one color of sub-pixel includes a blue sub-pixel, the voltage value of the power signal transmitted by the second power supply transmission layer is 4.6V. The above coupling of the light shielding layer LS with the second power supply transmission layer not only reduces the voltage drop of the power signal transmitted by the second power supply transmission layer, but also ensures the voltage stabilizing effect of the light shielding layer LS on the gate potential of the driving transistor T3.
[0243] As shown in FIGS. 8-19, in some embodiments, the sub-pixel driving circuit further comprises a driving transistor T3, a first reset transistor T1, and a compensation transistor T2.
[0244] The second electrode of the first reset transistor T1 is coupled with the gate electrode of the driving transistor T3, the first electrode of the compensation transistor T2 is coupled with the second electrode of the driving transistor T3, and the second electrode of the compensation transistor T2 is coupled with the gate electrode of the driving transistor T3.
[0245] The first power supply line VDD1 includes a first power supply main part VDD11 and a first power supply protruding part VDD12 coupled with each other, the first power supply main part VDD11 extends along the second direction, the first power supply protruding part VDD12 protrudes from the first power supply main part VDD11 along the first direction, the orthographic projection of the first power supply protruding part VDD12 on the substrate covers the orthographic projection of the first reset transistor T1 in the sub-pixel driving circuit coupled therewith on the substrate, and / or covers the orthographic projection of the compensation transistor T2 in the sub-pixel driving circuit coupled therewith on the substrate.
[0246] The second power supply line VDD2 includes a second power supply body part VDD21 and a second power supply protruding part VDD22 coupled with each other, the second power supply body part VDD21 extends along a second direction, the second power supply protruding part VDD22 protrudes from the second power supply body part VDD21 along the first direction, a projection of the second power supply protruding part VDD22 on the substrate substrate covers a projection of the first reset transistor T1 in the sub-pixel drive circuit coupled with the second power supply protruding part VDD22 on the substrate substrate, and / or covers a projection of the compensation transistor T2 in the sub-pixel drive circuit coupled with the second power supply protruding part VDD22 on the substrate substrate.
[0247] For example, the first reset transistor T1 and the compensation transistor T2 are both oxide transistors, and the active layer thereof can be an IGZO layer, but is not limited thereto.
[0248] The above arrangement enables the first power supply line VDD1 and the second power supply line VDD2 to shield the active layer of the corresponding oxide transistor, thereby effectively preventing light from affecting the properties of the oxide transistor.
[0249] In the related art, as shown in FIGS. 36-39, when the RGBG pixel arrangement is used, the power consumption is generally reduced by reducing the transition of the data signal for the R sub-pixel and the data signal for the B sub-pixel transmitted on the same data line DA; as shown in FIGS. 36 and 37, a mode of realizing the data signal by the transition of the data signal for the R sub-pixel and the data signal for the B sub-pixel is illustrated, and it is illustrated that the data signal Y1 transmitted by the data line connected to the first column is a transition data signal, the data signal Y2 transmitted by the data line connected to the second column is a non-transition data signal, the data signal Y3 transmitted by the data line connected to the third column is a transition data signal, and the data signal Y4 transmitted by the data line connected to the fourth column is a non-transition data signal. As shown in FIGS. 38 and 39, a scheme after reducing the transition is illustrated, and in order to cooperate with the driving chip, the pixel arrangement is strictly limited, that is, the sub-pixel drive circuit in the first column must be R, however, in the actual display process, due to the limitation of the pixel arrangement, the problem of purple at the edge of the display panel will occur.
[0250] In more detail, as shown in FIGS. 38 and 39, the order of the data signals that the driving chip can provide is R (corresponding to Y1), G (corresponding to Y2), B (corresponding to Y3), and G (corresponding to Y4) in turn. Therefore, the arrangement of the sub-pixel driving circuit columns is limited by the output of the driving chip, that is, the data signal received by the first column of sub-pixel driving circuit columns must be R, and the first column of light emitting elements are red light emitting elements and blue light emitting elements arranged alternately, so the first column of light emitting elements needs to receive data signals of R, B, R, B, R, B alternately, the R data signal is provided by the first column of sub-pixel driving circuit columns, and the B data signal is provided by the third column of sub-pixel driving circuit columns. This results in that only the red light emitting elements emit light when the first column of sub-pixel driving circuit columns is driven, and the number of light emitting elements is small, so this setting will cause the first column to emit purple in high-end machines. It should be noted that n-1, n, n+1 in FIGS. 36 to 39 represent the number of rows.
[0251] As shown in FIG. 40, in some embodiments, the plurality of colors of sub-pixels include red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, and blue sub-pixels; the at least two colors of sub-pixels include red sub-pixels and green sub-pixels; and the at least one color of sub-pixels includes blue sub-pixels.
[0252] The red sub-pixels include red sub-pixel driving circuits and red light emitting elements coupled thereto; the green sub-pixels include green sub-pixel driving circuits and green light emitting elements coupled thereto; and the blue sub-pixels include blue sub-pixel driving circuits and blue light emitting elements coupled thereto. As shown in FIG. 40, the dashed boxes in the figure represent sub-pixel driving circuits, and the anode layer represents light emitting elements of the corresponding color.
[0253] The plurality of colors of sub-pixel driving circuits included in the plurality of colors of sub-pixels are divided into a plurality of columns of sub-pixel driving circuit columns; the plurality of columns of sub-pixel driving circuit columns include a red sub-pixel driving circuit column Q1, a first green sub-pixel driving circuit column Q2, a blue sub-pixel driving circuit column Q3, and a second green sub-pixel driving circuit column Q4 arranged in the first direction in turn and cyclically;
[0254] The green light emitting elements coupled to the first green sub-pixel driving circuit column form a first green light emitting element column, and the orthogonal projection of the first green light emitting element column on the substrate substrate overlaps the orthogonal projection of the adjacent red sub-pixel driving circuit column on the substrate substrate;
[0255] The green light emitting elements coupled to the second green sub-pixel driving circuit column form a second green light emitting element column, and the orthogonal projection of the second green light emitting element column on the substrate substrate overlaps the orthogonal projection of the adjacent blue sub-pixel driving circuit column on the substrate substrate;
[0256] The red light-emitting elements coupled to the red sub-pixel driving circuit column are divided into at least one column of sub-red light-emitting elements, wherein the sub-red light-emitting element column includes the red light-emitting element coupled to the odd-numbered sub-pixel driving circuit in the red sub-pixel driving circuit column; or, the sub-red light-emitting element column includes the red light-emitting element coupled to the even-numbered sub-pixel driving circuit in the red sub-pixel driving circuit column.
[0257] The orthographic projection of the red sub-light-emitting element on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the adjacent green sub-pixel driving circuit on the substrate.
[0258] The blue light-emitting elements coupled to the blue sub-pixel driving circuit column are divided into at least one sub-blue light-emitting element column, wherein the sub-blue light-emitting element column includes the blue light-emitting element coupled to the odd-numbered sub-pixel driving circuit in the blue sub-pixel driving circuit column; or, the sub-blue light-emitting element column includes the blue light-emitting element coupled to the even-numbered sub-pixel driving circuit in the blue sub-pixel driving circuit column.
[0259] The orthographic projection of the sub-blue light-emitting element on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the adjacent green sub-pixel driving circuit on the substrate.
[0260] For example, the red light-emitting elements coupled to the first column of red sub-pixel driving circuits are divided into a column of sub-red light-emitting elements, the column of sub-red light-emitting elements including the red light-emitting element coupled to the odd-numbered sub-pixel driving circuit in the column of red sub-pixel driving circuits; or, the column of sub-red light-emitting elements including the red light-emitting element coupled to the even-numbered sub-pixel driving circuit in the column of red sub-pixel driving circuits; the orthographic projection of the column of sub-red light-emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the adjacent first green sub-pixel driving circuit column on the substrate.
[0261] For example, the red light-emitting elements coupled to the red sub-pixel driving circuit columns other than the first column are divided into two sub-red light-emitting element columns. One sub-red light-emitting element column includes the red light-emitting element coupled to the odd-numbered sub-pixel driving circuit in the red sub-pixel driving circuit column; the other sub-red light-emitting element column includes the red light-emitting element coupled to the even-numbered sub-pixel driving circuit in the red sub-pixel driving circuit column. The two sub-red light-emitting element columns are located above different adjacent green sub-pixel driving circuit columns.
[0262] For example, the orthogonal projection of one of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent first column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate; and the orthogonal projection of another of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent second column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate. Alternatively, the orthogonal projection of one of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent second column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate; and the orthogonal projection of another of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent first column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate.
[0263] For example, the orthogonal projection of one of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent first column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate; and the orthogonal projection of another of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent second column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate. Alternatively, the orthogonal projection of one of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent second column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate; and the orthogonal projection of another of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent first column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate.
[0264] For example, the orthogonal projection of one of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent first column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate; and the orthogonal projection of another of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent second column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate. Alternatively, the orthogonal projection of one of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent second column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate; and the orthogonal projection of another of the columns of sub-red light emitting elements on the substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the adjacent first column of sub-green pixel driving circuits on the substrate.
[0265] According to the above arrangement, the first column and the last column of light emitting elements of the display panel are both a column of green light emitting elements, and the plurality of columns of sub-pixel driving circuits include, in sequence along the first direction, a column of red sub-pixel driving circuits, a first column of green sub-pixel driving circuits, a column of blue sub-pixel driving circuits, and a second column of green sub-pixel driving circuits, i.e., the first column of sub-pixel driving circuits is a column of red sub-pixel driving circuits, which can meet the output requirements of the driving chip. Therefore, in the display panel provided by the above embodiment, the light emitting elements can be arranged flexibly while reducing power consumption, and the problem of purple edges of the display panel is improved.
[0266] As shown in FIG. 20, FIG. 21 and FIG. 40, in some embodiments, the red light emitting element comprises a red anode layer Ano-R, the red anode layer Ano-R comprises a red anode main part Ano-R1 and a red anode connecting part Ano-R2 coupled with each other, a normal projection of the red anode main part Ano-R1 on the substrate substrate overlaps with a normal projection of an adjacent green sub-pixel driving circuit column on the substrate substrate; a normal projection of an opening area of the red light emitting element on the substrate substrate is located inside a normal projection of the red anode main part Ano-R1 on the substrate substrate; the red anode connecting part Ano-R2 is coupled with a sub-pixel driving circuit in a sub-pixel to which the red anode connecting part Ano-R2 belongs.
[0267] The blue light emitting element comprises a blue anode layer Ano-B, the blue anode layer Ano-B comprises a blue anode main part Ano-B1 and a blue anode connecting part Ano-B2 coupled with each other, a normal projection of the blue anode main part Ano-B1 on the substrate substrate overlaps with a normal projection of an adjacent green sub-pixel driving circuit column on the substrate substrate; a normal projection of an opening area of the blue light emitting element on the substrate substrate is located inside a normal projection of the blue anode main part Ano-B1 on the substrate substrate; the blue anode connecting part Ano-B2 is coupled with a sub-pixel driving circuit in a sub-pixel to which the blue anode connecting part Ano-B2 belongs; a length of the red anode connecting part Ano-R2 is substantially the same as a length of the blue anode connecting part Ano-B2.
[0268] It should be noted that in FIG. 20, it is also shown that the green light emitting element comprises a green anode layer Ano-G, the green anode layer Ano-G comprises a green anode main part Ano-G1 and a green anode connecting part Ano-G2 coupled with each other.
[0269] For example, the opening area of the light emitting element, i.e. the pixel opening area of the sub-pixel to which the light emitting element belongs, is an effective light emitting area of the sub-pixel.
[0270] The above setting that the length of the red anode connecting part Ano-R2 is substantially the same as the length of the blue anode connecting part Ano-B2 is beneficial to guarantee the loading uniformity of the anode layers of sub-pixels of various colors.
