[0126] Detailed Explanation

[0127] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation methods can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other. To keep the following description of the embodiments of this disclosure clear and concise, detailed descriptions of some known functions and components have been omitted. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this disclosure only relate to the structures involved in the embodiments of this disclosure; other structures can be referred to with reference to general designs.

[0128] The scale of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual manufacturing processes, but is not limited thereto. For example, the aspect ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the quantities shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the figures.

[0129] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.

[0130] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0131] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0132] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0133] In this specification, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged.

[0134] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.

[0135] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.

[0136] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."

[0137] In this specification, the term "same-layer arrangement" refers to a structure formed by patterning two (or more) structures through the same patterning process, and their materials may be the same or different. For example, the precursors forming multiple structures in a same-layer arrangement may be made of the same material, while the final materials may be the same or different.

[0138] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined; they can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, as are chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.

[0139] In this disclosure, “about” means a value that is not strictly limited and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0140] In-vehicle facial recognition systems are an advanced facial recognition technology that enables facial recognition in automotive products and is currently widely used in the automotive industry. However, older in-vehicle facial recognition systems typically have a low aperture ratio, which reduces their reliability.

[0141] The automotive products include display substrates used for display and facial recognition.

[0142] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the display substrate may include a display area AA and a peripheral area BB located around the display area AA. The display area AA of the display substrate may include at least a first display area A1 and a second display area A2. The second display area A2 may at least partially surround the first display area A1. For example, the second display area A2 may surround the first display area A1. The peripheral area BB may surround the second display area A2. However, this embodiment is not limited in this respect.

[0143] In some examples, as shown in Figure 1, the first display area A1 can be a light-transmitting display area, or it can also be called an under-display camera (FDC) area. The second display area A2 can also be called a normal display area. For example, the orthographic projection of a sensor (such as a camera or other hardware) onto the display substrate can be located within the first display area A1 of the display substrate. In some examples, as shown in Figure 1, the first display area A1 can be circular, and the size of the orthographic projection of the sensor onto the display substrate can be less than or equal to the size of the first display area A1. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, the first display area A1 can be rectangular, and the size of the orthographic projection of the sensor onto the display substrate can be less than or equal to the size of the first display area A1.

[0144] In some examples, as shown in Figure 1, the first display area A1 may be located at the top center of the display area AA. The second display area A2 may surround the first display area A1. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the first display area A1 may be located at other positions such as the upper left corner, lower left corner, lower right corner, or upper right corner of the display area AA. For example, the second display area A2 may surround at least one side of the first display area A1.

[0145] In some examples, as shown in Figure 1, the display area AA can be a rectangle, such as a rounded rectangle. The first display area A1 can be a circle, an ellipse, or a rectangle. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the first display area A1 can be a rectangle, a semicircle, a pentagon, or other shapes.

[0146] In some examples, the display area AA can be configured with multiple sub-pixels. At least one sub-pixel can include a pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting device. The pixel driving circuit can be configured to drive the connected light-emitting device. For example, the pixel driving circuit can be configured to provide a driving current to drive the light-emitting device to emit light. The pixel driving circuit can include multiple transistors and at least one capacitor. For example, the pixel driving circuit can be a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C, or 8T1C structure. In the above circuit structures, T refers to a thin-film transistor, C refers to a capacitor, the number before T represents the number of thin-film transistors in the circuit, and the number before C represents the number of capacitors in the circuit.

[0147] As shown in Figure 1, the sub-pixel located in the first display area is a first type pixel. At least one of the multiple first type sub-pixels includes: a first type pixel driving circuit 11 and a first type light-emitting device 13. The first type pixel driving circuit 11 is configured to drive at least one first type light-emitting device 13 to emit light.

[0148] The sub-pixel located in the second display area is a second type of sub-pixel. At least one of the multiple second type sub-pixels includes: a second type pixel driving circuit 12 and a second type light-emitting device 14. The second type pixel driving circuit 12 is configured to drive the second type light-emitting device 14 to emit light.

[0149] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first type pixel driving circuit 11 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one first type light-emitting device 13 on the substrate.

[0150] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second type pixel driving circuit 12 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one second type light-emitting device 14 on the substrate.

[0151] In some examples, at least one of the first and second type of light-emitting devices may include a current-driven device, such as a current-driven light-emitting diode (LED), a micro LED, a mini LED, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or a quantum dot LED (QLED). The typical size (e.g., length) of a Micro LED can be less than 100 μm, for example, 10 μm to 50 μm. The typical size (e.g., length) of a Mini LED can be approximately 100 μm to 300 μm, for example, 120 μm to 260 μm. For example, the light-emitting device can be an OLED, which can emit red, green, blue, or white light when driven by its corresponding pixel driving circuit. The emitted color of the light-emitting device can be determined as needed. In some examples, the light-emitting device may include an anode, a cathode, and an organic light-emitting layer located between the anode and cathode. The anode of the light-emitting device can be electrically connected to the corresponding pixel driving circuit. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0152] In an exemplary embodiment, the organic light-emitting layer may include stacked hole injection layer (HIL), hole transport layer (HTL), electron block layer (EBL), emitting layer (EML), hole block layer (HBL), electron transport layer (ETL), and electron injection layer (EIL). In this exemplary embodiment, the hole injection layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, the electron injection layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, the hole transport layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, the hole block layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, and the emitting layers of adjacent sub-pixels may have a small overlap or may be isolated. Similarly, the electron block layers of adjacent sub-pixels may have a small overlap or may be isolated.

[0153] Figure 2 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit. The pixel driving circuit shown in Figure 2 refers to the first type of pixel driving circuit and the second type of pixel driving circuit. Figure 2 is illustrated using a 7T1C pixel driving circuit as an example. As shown in Figure 2, the pixel driving circuit can include 7 transistors (first transistor T1 to seventh transistor T7) and 1 capacitor C. The pixel driving circuit can be connected to ten signal lines (data signal line Data, first power supply line VDD, reset signal line Reset, first scan signal line Gate1, second scan signal line Gate2, third scan signal line Gate3, first light emission signal line EM1, second light emission signal line EM2, first initial signal line INIT1 and second initial signal line INIT2).

[0154] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit may include a first node N1, a second node N2, and a third node N3. The first node N1 is connected to the first terminal of the third transistor T3, the second terminal of the fourth transistor T4, and the second terminal of the fifth transistor T5, respectively. The second node N2 is connected to the second terminal of the first transistor T1, the first terminal of the second transistor T2, the control terminal of the third transistor T3, and the second terminal of the capacitor C, respectively. The third node N3 is connected to the second terminal of the second transistor T2, the second terminal of the third transistor T3, and the first terminal of the sixth transistor T6, respectively.

[0155] In an exemplary embodiment, the first end of capacitor C is connected to the first power line VDD, and the second end of capacitor C is connected to the second node N2, that is, the second end of capacitor C is connected to the control electrode of the third transistor T3.

[0156] The control electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the second scan signal line Gate2, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first initial signal line INIT1, and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the second node N2. When a conduction-level scan signal is applied to the second scan signal line Gate2, the first transistor T1 transmits the initialization voltage of the first initial signal line INIT1 to the control electrode of the third transistor T3, thereby initializing the charge of the control electrode of the third transistor T3.

[0157] The control electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the third scan signal line Gate3, the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second node N2, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the third node N3. When a conduction-level scan signal is applied to the third scan signal line Gate3, the second transistor T2 causes the control electrode of the third transistor T3 to connect to its second electrode.

[0158] The control electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second node N2, meaning the control electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second terminal of capacitor C. The first electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first node N1, and the second electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the third node N3. The third transistor T3 can be called the driving transistor. The third transistor T3 determines the magnitude of the driving current flowing between the first power line VDD and the second power line VSS based on the potential difference between its control electrode and its first electrode.

[0159] The control electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first scan signal line Gate1, the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data signal line Data, and the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first node N1. The fourth transistor T4 can be called a switching transistor, scanning transistor, etc. When a conduction-level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line Gate1, the fourth transistor T4 causes the data voltage of the data signal line Data to be input to the pixel driving circuit.

[0160] The control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first light-emitting signal line EM1, the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first node N1. The control electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second light-emitting signal line EM2, the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the third node N3, and the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the first electrode of the light-emitting device L. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 can be referred to as light-emitting transistors. When a conduction-level light-emitting signal is applied to the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 cause the light-emitting device to emit light by forming a driving current path between the first power supply line VDD and the second power supply line VSS.

[0161] The control electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the reset signal line Reset, the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second initial signal line INIT2, and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the first electrode of the light-emitting device L. When a conduction level scan signal is applied to the reset signal line Reset, the seventh transistor T7 transmits the initialization voltage of the second initial signal line INIT2 to the first electrode of the light-emitting device L, so as to initialize or release the accumulated charge in the first electrode of the light-emitting device.

[0162] In an exemplary embodiment, the second electrode of the light-emitting device L is connected to the second power line VSS.

[0163] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal of the second power line VSS is a low-level signal, and the signal of the first power line VDD is a continuously high-level signal. The second scan signal line Gate2 can be a third scan signal line Gate3 connected to at least one row of pixel driving circuits located before this display row.

[0164] Based on their characteristics, transistors can be classified into N-type transistors and P-type transistors. When a transistor is P-type, its turn-on voltage is a low-level voltage (e.g., 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltage), and its turn-off voltage is a high-level voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltage). When a transistor is N-type, its turn-on voltage is a high-level voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltage), and its turn-off voltage is a low-level voltage (e.g., 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltage).

[0165] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 can be either P-type transistors or N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistor in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the processing difficulty of the display substrate, and improve the product yield. In some possible implementations, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 may include both P-type and N-type transistors.

[0166] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 can be a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor, or an oxide thin-film transistor, or a combination of both. The active layer of the LTPS is made of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon, while the active layer of the oxide thin-film transistor is made of oxide. LTPS transistors have advantages such as high mobility and fast charging, while oxide thin-film transistors have advantages such as low leakage current. Integrating LTPS and oxide thin-film transistors onto a single display substrate to form a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display substrate leverages the advantages of both, enabling low-frequency driving, reducing power consumption, and improving display quality.

[0167] In an exemplary embodiment, the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 may be the same signal line or different signal lines, depending on the structure of the pixel driving circuit. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0168] Figure 3 is a timing diagram of a pixel driving circuit. The following describes an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure through the operation of the pixel driving circuit illustrated in Figure 2. The pixel driving circuit in Figure 2 includes seven transistors (first transistor T1 to seventh transistor T7) and one capacitor. All seven transistors are P-type transistors.

[0169] In an exemplary embodiment, the operation of the pixel driving circuit may include:

[0170] In the first stage A1, also known as the reset stage, the signals of the second scan signal line Gate2, the third scan signal line Gate3, and the reset signal line Reset are low-level signals, while the signals of the first scan signal line Gate1, the first light-emitting signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are high-level signals. When the signal of the second scan signal line Gate2 is low, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the signal of the first initial signal line INIT1 is provided to the second node N2 and the third node N3 to initialize (reset) them, clearing the original charge in the capacitors. When the signal of the reset signal line Reset is low, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the signal of the second initial signal line INIT2 is provided to the first terminal of the light-emitting device L to initialize (reset) it, clearing the original charge in the first terminal of the light-emitting device L. When the signals of the first scan signal line Gate1, the first light-emitting signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are high-level signals, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off, and the light-emitting device L does not emit light during this stage.

[0171] The second stage, A2, is called the data writing stage or threshold compensation stage. The signals of the first scan signal line Gate1 and the third scan signal line Gate3 are low-level signals, while the signals of the reset signal line Reset, the second scan signal line Gate2, the first light-emitting signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are high-level signals. The data signal line Data outputs a data voltage. With the first scan signal line Gate1 and the third scan signal line Gate3 low-level signals, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on. The turn-on of the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 allows the data voltage output from the data signal line Data to be supplied to the second node N2 via the first node N1, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor T2. The difference between the data voltage output from the data signal line Data and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the second terminal of capacitor C (second node N2), resulting in a voltage of Vd - |Vth|, where Vd is the data voltage output from the data signal line Data, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. The signals of the reset signal line Reset, the second scan signal line Gate2, the first light emission signal line EM1, and the second light emission signal line EM2 are high-level signals, and the first transistor T1, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7 are disconnected.

[0172] The third stage, A3, is called the light-emitting stage. During this stage, the signals on the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are low-level signals, while the signals on the first scan signal line Gate1, the second scan signal line Gate2, the third scan signal line Gate3, and the reset signal line Reset are high-level signals. The low-level signals on the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 turn on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6. The power supply voltage output from the first power line VDD then provides a driving voltage to the first terminal of the light-emitting device L through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, third transistor T3, and sixth transistor T6, driving the light-emitting device L to emit light.

[0173] During the pixel driving circuit operation, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its gate electrode and its first electrode. Since the voltage at the second node N2 is Vdata - |Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is: I = K*(Vgs - Vth) 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K*(Vdd-Vd) 2

[0174] Where I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, which is the driving current driving the light-emitting device L, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vd is the data voltage output by the data signal line Data, and Vdd is the power supply voltage output by the first power supply line VDD.

[0175] As can be seen from the derivation of the above current formula, during the light-emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is no longer affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, thereby eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 on the driving current. This ensures uniform display brightness of the display product and improves the overall display effect of the display product.

[0176] Figure 4A is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of pixel driving circuits in the display area according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 4B is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of pixel driving circuits in the display area according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figures 4A and 4B are enlarged schematic diagrams of the dashed box L in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the multiple pixel driving circuits in the display area may include: multiple first-type pixel driving circuits 11 located in the first display area A1 and multiple second-type pixel driving circuits 12 located in the second display area A2. The multiple first-type pixel driving circuits 11 in the first display area A1 and the multiple second-type pixel driving circuits 12 in the second display area A2 can be arranged in an array along the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. Among them, the multiple pixel driving circuits arranged along the first direction D1 are a row of pixel driving circuits, and the multiple pixel driving circuits arranged along the second direction D2 are a column of pixel driving circuits. For example, the first direction D1 may be perpendicular to the second direction D2. Only the first-type pixel driving circuits and the second-type pixel driving circuits are shown in Figure 4, and the first-type light-emitting devices and the second-type light-emitting devices are not shown.

[0177] In some examples, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the first display area A1 may include: a plurality of pixel island areas A11 and a plurality of light-transmitting areas A12 distributed among the pixel island areas. A plurality of first-type sub-pixels 11 constitute a plurality of pixel islands, each pixel island being located in one of the plurality of pixel island areas, and each pixel island including at least two first-type sub-pixels, for example, each pixel island including three first-type sub-pixels. In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the first display area A1 may further include: a plurality of wiring areas A13.

[0178] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel island area A11 may include: at least one row of first-type pixel driving circuits disposed on the substrate and multiple groups of first-type light-emitting devices (not shown) arranged along the first direction D1. One row of first-type pixel driving circuits may include multiple first-type pixel driving circuits 11 aligned along the first direction D1. Each group of first-type light-emitting devices may include multiple first-type light-emitting devices, for example, it may include three first-type light-emitting devices emitting different colors of light. For example, the orthographic projection of the multiple groups of first-type light-emitting devices arranged along the first direction D1 onto the substrate may be located within the orthographic projection range of one row of first-type pixel driving circuits onto the substrate.

[0179] In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of pixel island regions A11 are arranged in an array along a first direction D1 and a second direction D2. The pixel island regions A11 can be generally rectangular. The length of the pixel island regions A11 along the first direction D1 can be greater than the length along the second direction D2.

[0180] In some examples, multiple pixel driving circuits in the display area can be connected to multiple first signal lines extending along a first direction D1 (illustrated as a single first signal line 15 in Figures 4A and 4B) and multiple second signal lines extending along a second direction D2 (illustrated as a single second signal line 16 in Figures 4A and 4B). First-type pixel driving circuits 11 within adjacent pixel island areas A11 can transmit signals along the second direction D2 via signal connection lines 17. Multiple signal connection lines 17 can be centrally arranged within the wiring area A13. In some examples, the multiple first signal lines may include multiple gate lines, such as scan lines, light emission control lines, and reset control lines. The multiple second signal lines may include multiple data lines and a first power supply line.

[0181] In some examples, the first signal line 15 passing through the first display area A1 can be connected to a row of first-type pixel driving circuits 11 in the pixel island area A11 and a corresponding row of second-type pixel driving circuits 12 in the second display area A2. The second signal line 16 passing through the first display area A1 can be connected to a column of first-type pixel driving circuits 11 in multiple sub-pixel island areas A11 and a corresponding column of second-type pixel driving circuits 12 in the second display area A2. The signal connection line 17 enables connection between the same column of first pixel circuits 11 in adjacent sub-display areas A11.

[0182] In some examples, the maximum length of the first type pixel driving circuit 11 along the second direction D2 can be less than the maximum length of the second type pixel driving circuit 12 along the second direction D2. A column of first type pixel driving circuits 11 in the pixel island area A11 can be aligned with a column of second type pixel driving circuits 12 in the second display area A2. In this way, the pixel density (PPI, Pixels Per Inch) of the first display area A1 and the pixel density of the second display area A2 can be guaranteed to be the same. Taking an automotive display device as an example, since the pixel density of automotive display devices is relatively low, usually around 200 PPI, reducing the pixel density of the first display area will affect the display effect. Therefore, ensuring that the pixel density of the first display area A1 and the second display area A2 is the same can guarantee the display effect of the first display area A1.

[0183] In some examples, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B, multiple trace areas A13 and multiple light-transmitting areas A12 are provided between adjacent pixel island areas A11. The trace areas A13 and the light-transmitting areas A12 can be arranged alternately along a first direction D1. A light-transmitting area A12 can be surrounded by two adjacent trace areas A13 and two adjacent pixel island areas A11. The light-transmitting area A12 can be approximately rectangular, and its length along the first direction D1 can be greater than its length along the second direction D2. In other examples, the traces within the trace areas A13 can be made of a transparent conductive material, allowing the light-transmitting areas separated by the trace areas to be connected, thereby improving light transmittance.

[0184] As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the spacing W1 between adjacent pixel islands along the first direction D1 is smaller than the spacing W2 between adjacent pixel islands along the second direction D2.

[0185] In this example, by compressing the first type of pixel driving circuit 11 along the second direction D2, the horizontal space (i.e., the space along the first direction D1) in the first display area A1 can be fully utilized, and the vertical space (i.e., the space along the second direction D2) can be freed up as a light-transmitting area, thereby improving the light transmittance of the first display area A1 while ensuring the pixel density of the first display area A1.

[0186] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the spacing W1 between adjacent pixel islands along the first direction D1 is equal to the spacing W3 between two adjacent first-type pixel driving circuits within a pixel island along the first direction D1.

[0187] The embodiments of this disclosure shown in Figures 4A and 4B provide a display substrate in which the area of ​​the first type pixel driving circuit 11 located in the first display area A1 is smaller than the area S2 of the second type pixel driving circuit located in the second display area A2.

[0188] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the spacing W4 between adjacent second-type pixel driving circuits along the second direction D2 is smaller than the spacing W2 between adjacent pixel islands along the second direction D2.

[0189] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG4A, a row of first-type pixel driving circuits 11 can be provided in the pixel island area A11 of the first display area A1. Each row of first-type pixel driving circuits can correspond to a row of second-type pixel driving circuits in the second display area A2. Each column of first-type pixel driving circuits can correspond to a column of second-type pixel driving circuits in the second display area A2. Adjacent first-type pixel driving circuits 11 in the same column of first-type pixel driving circuits in adjacent sub-display areas A11 can achieve signal transmission along the second direction D2 through the signal connection lines 17 of the wiring area A13 (such as including multiple first data connection lines located in the third conductive layer and power connection parts located in the fourth conductive layer).

[0190] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG4B, the pixel island area A11 of the first display area A1 can be provided with two rows of first-type pixel driving circuits 11, and each row of first-type pixel driving circuits can correspond to a row of second-type pixel driving circuits in the second display area A2. Each column of first-type pixel driving circuits can correspond to a column of second-type pixel driving circuits in the second display area A2. Adjacent first-type pixel driving circuits 11 in the same column of first-type pixel driving circuits in adjacent sub-display areas A11 can achieve signal transmission along the second direction D2 through the signal connection lines 17 of the wiring area A13 (such as including multiple first data connection lines located in the third conductive layer and power connection parts located in the fourth conductive layer). In some examples, the maximum length of the light-transmitting area A12 along the second direction D2 can be greater than the maximum length of the first-type pixel driving circuit 11 along the second direction D2, and greater than the maximum length of the second-type pixel driving circuit 12 along the second direction D2. The arrangement of this example is beneficial to increasing the size of the light-transmitting area along the second direction. The remaining description of the display substrate of this example can be referred to the description of the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0191] In other examples, the pixel island area A11 of the first display area A1 can be configured with three rows, four rows, or more rows of first-type pixel driving circuits. By centrally configuring the first-type pixel driving circuits along the second direction D2, it is advantageous to increase the size of the light-transmitting area along the second direction.

[0192] In other examples, the first direction can be a column direction, and the second direction can be a row direction. Multiple pixel islands A11 in the first display area can be arranged sequentially along the column direction, and multiple light-transmitting areas and multiple trace areas located between adjacent pixel islands A11 can be spaced apart along the column direction. One or more columns of first-type pixel driving circuits can be arranged within a pixel island A11. The light-transmitting areas can extend along the column direction.

[0193] In an exemplary embodiment, the spacing between adjacent pixel islands along the first direction D1 is less than the maximum length of the light-transmitting area between adjacent pixel islands along the second direction D2.

This disclosure does not limit the methods used. A "thin film" refers to a thin film made of a certain material on a substrate using deposition, coating, or other processes. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it can also be called a "layer." If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern." The phrase "A and B are arranged in the same layer" in this disclosure means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer is the dimension of the film layer in the direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary range of the orthographic projection of A, or the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.
