[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the display panel 100 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An enlarged schematic diagram of section M in the middle; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Another enlarged schematic diagram of part M in the middle.
[0036] exist Figure 1In the plan view, the first direction F1 can be a direction parallel to one side of the display panel 100, and for example, it can be the horizontal direction of the display panel 100. The second direction F2 can be a direction parallel to the other side of the display panel 100 in the plan view, and it can be the vertical direction of the display panel 100.
[0037] The display panel 100 may have a rectangular or square shape in a plan view, but the implementation is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the display panel 100 may have a rectangular shape with vertical corners or rounded corners in a plan view. The display panel 100 may include two short sides arranged in a first direction F1 and two long sides arranged in a second direction F2 in a plan view.
[0038] The display panel 100 may include a display area AA and a non-display area NA. In a plan view, the shape of the display area AA may correspond to the shape of the display panel 100. For example, if the display panel 100 has a rectangular shape in a plan view, the display area AA may also have a rectangular shape.
[0039] The non-display area NA can be arranged around the display area AA.
[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the display panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel units U1, which are arranged in a matrix along a first direction F1 and a second direction F2, but are not limited thereto.
[0041] Pixel unit U1 includes multiple light-emitting diodes E0. For example, pixel unit U1 includes a first light-emitting diode R1, a second light-emitting diode G1, and a third light-emitting diode B1 that emit light of different colors. In the first direction F1, the first light-emitting diode R1 and the second light-emitting diode G1 are arranged side by side in one row, and the third light-emitting diode B1 and the second light-emitting diode G1 are arranged side by side in another row. In the second direction F2, the first light-emitting diode R1 and the third light-emitting diode B1 are arranged side by side in one column, and the two second light-emitting diodes G1 are arranged side by side in another column.
[0042] In this LED array, one of the first LED R1, the second LED G1, and the third LED B1 emits red light, another emits green light, and the last emits blue light. The following explanation uses the example of the first LED R1 emitting red light, the second LED G1 emitting green light, and the third LED B1 emitting blue light, but it is not limited to this.
[0043] exist Figure 2 In this configuration, the arrangement of LEDs E0 within all pixel units U1 is identical. However, it is not limited to this; for example, ... Figure 3As shown, in the same pixel row, the arrangement of light-emitting diodes E0 in two adjacent pixel units U1 is different. For example, in one pixel unit U1, the first light-emitting diode R1 is above the second light-emitting diode G1; in another pixel unit U1, the first light-emitting diode R1 is below the second light-emitting diode G1.
[0044] It is understandable that, compared to the design of real pixels, the embodiments of this application form pixel units U1 through sub-pixel rendering (SPR) design, so as to save the number of physical sub-pixels while achieving the effect of complete pixels, thereby facilitating the realization of high resolution of display panel 100.
[0045] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the display panel 100 further includes a plurality of pixel circuit units U2, each pixel circuit unit U2 driving a pixel unit U1. Each pixel circuit unit U2 includes a plurality of pixel circuits U20, each pixel circuit U20 driving a light-emitting diode E0.
[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, a pixel circuit U20 is correspondingly disposed on the area of a light-emitting diode E0, but this is not limited to. For example, in some embodiments, in the connected pixel circuit U20 and light-emitting diode E0, the pixel circuit U20 may be disposed outside the area of the light-emitting diode E0.
[0047] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in any row of pixel circuits U20, two pixel circuits U20 drive LEDs E0 of different colors. In two adjacent columns of pixel circuits U20, two pixel circuits U20 in one column drive LEDs E0 of different colors, and two pixel circuits U20 in the other column drive LEDs E0 of the same color.
[0048] For example, in pixel circuit unit U2, in each row of pixel circuits U20, one pixel circuit U20 drives the first light-emitting diode R1, and another pixel circuit U20 drives the third light-emitting diode B1. In two adjacent columns of pixel circuits U20, the two pixel circuits U20 in the first column drive the first light-emitting diode R1 and the third light-emitting diode B1 respectively, and the two pixel circuits U20 in the second column drive the second light-emitting diode G1 respectively.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is an equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel circuit U20 in the display panel 100 of this application embodiment.

[0053] The gate of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second control line Re, and the first terminal of the third transistor T3 is connected to the reference voltage line Vr. The second terminals of the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are connected to the first node Q. The gate of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the third control line Gn, and the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data line Da.

For example, if the first terminal is a drain, the second terminal can be a source.
[0055] In one embodiment, at least one of the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 may be a P-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (P-channel MOSFET) (PMOS), and the other transistors of the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 may be an N-channel MOSFET (NMOS). For example, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be PMOS, and the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 may be NMOS. In another embodiment, the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 may be PMOS, and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be NMOS. In yet another embodiment, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 may all be NMOS or all be PMOS. The following description focuses on embodiments where the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are PMOS comprising silicon semiconductor and the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are NMOS comprising oxide semiconductor.
[0056] At least one of transistors T1, T2, T3, and T4 may be a transistor having a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) semiconductor layer, and at least one of transistors T1, T2, T3, and T4 may be a transistor having an oxide semiconductor layer. For example, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may include semiconductor layers made of polycrystalline silicon with high reliability, and the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 may include oxide semiconductor layers with high carrier mobility and low leakage current.

[0076] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 10 In the display panel 100 viewed from above, the display panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel circuit units U2. In the pixel circuit unit U2, at least two pixel circuits U20 are arranged in a row along a first direction F1.
[0077] In the pixel circuit unit U2, an initialization signal line Vi is set between two adjacent rows of pixel circuits U20 on the second direction F2 that intersects with the first direction F1, and the initialization signal line Vi is connected to both rows of pixel circuits U20 at the same time.
[0078] It is understood that the display panel 100 in this application embodiment saves layout space for the initialization signal line Vi by setting two adjacent rows of pixel circuits U20 in the pixel circuit unit U2 to share the same initialization signal line Vi, thereby facilitating the achievement of high resolution.
[0079] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the pixel circuit layer 102 includes a reference voltage line Vr configured to provide a reference voltage to the pixel circuit U20, and the reference voltage line Vr and the initialization signal line Vi are set in different layers.
[0080] In the pixel circuit unit U2, on the second direction F2, a reference voltage line Vr is set between two adjacent rows of pixel circuits U20, and the reference voltage line Vr is connected to both rows of pixel circuits U20 at the same time.
[0081] It is understood that the display panel 100 in this application embodiment saves the layout space of the initialization signal line Vi by setting two adjacent rows of pixel circuits U20 in the pixel circuit unit U2 to share a reference voltage line Vr, thereby facilitating the achievement of high resolution.
[0082] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in the display panel 100 viewed from above, the initialization signal line Vi and the reference voltage line Vr both extend along the first direction F1, and the initialization signal line Vi and the reference voltage line Vr at least partially overlap.
[0083] It is understandable that overlapping the initialization signal line Vi and the reference voltage line Vr in the thickness direction, which are set up in different layers, can save planar wiring area and facilitate the achievement of high resolution. Secondly, since the initialization signal line Vi and the reference voltage line Vr are each connected to a constant voltage signal, there will be no sudden signal jumps. Therefore, overlapping the two can reduce the impact between them caused by jumps.
[0084] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the pixel circuit layer 102 includes a first control line IN and a second control line Re disposed on different layers. The first control line IN is configured to control the initialization signal input to the pixel circuit U20. The second control line Re is configured to control the reference voltage input to the pixel circuit U20.
[0085] In the display panel 100 viewed from above, the first control line IN and the second control line Re both extend along the first direction F1, and the first control line IN and the second control line Re are at least partially overlapped.
[0086] It is understandable that overlapping the first control line IN and the second control line Re in the thickness direction when they are set in different layers can save planar wiring area and facilitate the achievement of high resolution.
[0087] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the pixel circuit layer 102 includes a power line VD configured to provide a positive power supply voltage to the pixel circuit U20. In the second direction F2, the power line VD is disposed between two adjacent pixel circuit units U2.
[0088] In two adjacent pixel circuit units U2, a power line VD connects a row of pixel circuits U20 in one pixel circuit unit U2 that is close to the power line VD and a row of pixel circuits U20 in the other pixel circuit unit U2 that is close to the power line VD.
[0089] It is understandable that adjacent rows of pixel circuits U20 between different pixel circuit units U2 share a single power line VD, which facilitates the achievement of high resolution.
[0090] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the pixel circuit layer 102 includes a data line Da configured to transmit data signals to the pixel circuit U20. The data line Da and the initialization signal line Vi are disposed on different layers. In the pixel circuit unit U2, at least two pixel circuits U20 are arranged in a row along the second direction F2.
[0091] In pixel circuit unit U2, a data line Da is connected to a column of pixel circuits U20 at the same time, and in one column of at least two different pixel circuits U20, at least two different pixel circuits U20 are connected to light-emitting diodes E0 of different colors.
[0092] It is understandable that the pixel circuit U20, which drives LEDs E0 of different emission colors, shares a single data line Da. Compared to one data line Da driving a column of LEDs E0 of the same emission color, this saves one data line Da and facilitates the achievement of high resolution.
[0093] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in pixel circuit unit U2, a data line Da is simultaneously connected to a column of pixel circuits U20, and in another column of at least two columns of pixel circuits U20, all pixel circuits U20 are connected to light-emitting diodes E0 of the same color.
[0094] Please refer to Figures 7 to 10 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in the second direction F2, the first active portion Y11 of the first transistor T1 is connected to the second active portion Y12 of the second transistor T2 to form a first active unit Y1. In two adjacent rows of pixel circuits U20 of pixel circuit unit U2, in the second direction F2, the first active unit Y1 of one row of pixel circuit U20 and the first active unit Y1 of the other row of pixel circuit U20 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0095] Optionally, the first active unit Y1 is formed in the first active layer 02a.
[0096] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the first active units Y1 in two adjacent rows of the pixel circuit unit U2 are arranged opposite each other, so that the arrangement of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 tends to be regular and periodic, thereby saving space and achieving high resolution.
[0097] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in two adjacent rows of pixel circuits U20 of pixel circuit unit U2, the second active portion Y12 of one row of pixel circuits U20 and the second active portion Y12 of the other row of pixel circuits U20 are connected by a first connecting portion Y13. In the second direction F2, the first connecting portion Y13 is disposed between two adjacent second active portions Y12, and the initialization signal line Vi is connected to the first connecting portion Y13.
[0098] It is understandable that, based on the relative arrangement of the two rows of first active units Y1, the first connecting part Y13 is connected between the two rows of first active units Y1, thereby realizing the simultaneous connection of the first active units Y1 of the two rows of pixel circuits U20 in the same column using an initialization signal line Vi.
[0099] Optionally, the first connecting part Y13 and the first active unit Y1 are connected on the same layer.
[0100] Optionally, in two adjacent rows of pixel circuits U20 of pixel circuit unit U2, the first active unit Y1 of one row of pixel circuit U20 and the first active unit Y1 of the other row of pixel circuit U20 are mirrored in the second direction F2 to improve the regularity and periodicity of the arrangement of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, thereby saving space and facilitating the realization of high resolution.
[0101] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in two adjacent columns of pixel circuits U20 of pixel circuit unit U2, the first active unit Y1 of one column of pixel circuit U20 and the first active unit Y1 of the other column of pixel circuit U20 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction F1.
[0102] A first connecting part Y13 simultaneously connects to four adjacent second active parts Y12 in two rows of pixel circuits U20 and two columns of pixel circuits U20, and the initialization signal line Vi is connected to the central region of the first connecting part Y13.
[0103] It is understandable that in the pixel circuit unit U2, the first active units Y1 of the two upper pixel circuits U20 and the first active units Y1 of the two lower pixel circuits U20 are arranged opposite each other, and the first active units Y1 of the two left pixel circuits U20 and the first active units Y1 of the two right pixel circuits U20 are arranged opposite each other. The first active units Y1 of the four pixel circuits U20 are all connected to the first connecting part Y13 located in the middle of the four. Based on this, by using the initialization signal line Vi to connect to the first connecting part Y13, the initialization signal line Vi can be connected to the four first active units Y1 of the two rows of pixel circuits U20 at the same time.
[0104] Secondly, the initialization signal line Vi is connected to the central region of the first connection part Y13 to improve the synchronization of the initialization signal to the four first active units Y1.
[0105] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in two adjacent columns of pixel circuits U20 of pixel circuit unit U2, the first active unit Y1 of one column of pixel circuit U20 and the first active unit Y1 of the other column of pixel circuit U20 are mirrored in the first direction F1, so as to improve the regularity and periodicity of the arrangement of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, thereby saving space and facilitating the realization of high resolution.
[0106] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the pixel circuit layer 102 includes a third connection portion Y14 disposed on the same layer as the first active unit Y1. Both the power line VD and the third connection portion Y14 extend along the first direction F1. One third connection portion Y14 simultaneously connects to the first active portions Y11 of two adjacent rows of pixel circuits U20.
[0107] In the display panel 100 viewed from above, the third connection part Y14 is arranged to overlap with the power line VD at least partially, and the power line VD is connected to the third connection part Y14 through a plurality of vias k1.
[0108] It is understood that in this embodiment, the third connecting part Y14 connects the first active parts Y11 of two rows of pixel circuits U20 of different pixel circuit units U2, so that the power line VD is connected to the third connecting part Y14. This allows the power line VD to connect to the first active parts Y11 of two adjacent rows, so that the two adjacent rows of pixel circuits U20 can share a single power line VD. Secondly, the power line VD is connected to the third connecting part Y14 through multiple vias k1, so that the power line VD and the third connecting part Y14 are connected in parallel, thereby reducing impedance. In addition, the power line VD and the third connecting part Y14, which are arranged on different layers, are at least partially overlapped to save wiring space and facilitate high resolution.
[0109] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the first active unit Y1 further includes a first extension Y15 extending along a first direction F1, the first extension Y15 connecting the connection between the first active unit Y11 and the second active unit Y12. The second plate c2 of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the first extension Y15.
[0110] In the display panel 100 viewed from above, in the second direction F2, the first extension Y15 and the first active portion Y11 at least partially overlap.
[0111] It is understandable that the first extension Y15 is provided to connect the second plate c2 of the storage capacitor Cst. Furthermore, in the second direction F2, the first extension Y15 and the first active part Y11 at least partially overlap, making full use of the available area, saving layout space, and facilitating the achievement of high resolution.
[0112] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the second electrode plate c2 of the first active unit Y1 and the storage capacitor Cst are both disposed on a different layer from the second node A. The second node A connects the second electrode plate c2 of the storage capacitor Cst and the first extension Y15, and the second node A also connects the junction between the first active part Y11 and the second active part Y12.
[0113] Understandably, the second node A overlaps with both a portion of the second active part Y12 and the first extension Y15 in the thickness direction to save wiring space and facilitate high resolution. Furthermore, the second node A connects the first extension Y15, the first active part Y11, and the second active part Y12 to achieve a parallel connection between the second node A and the first active unit Y1, thus reducing trace impedance.
[0114] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, a portion of the first control line IN is multiplexed as the gate g2 of the second transistor T2.
[0115] In the second direction F2, the gate g2 of the second transistor T2 protrudes beyond the main body line of the first control line IN, increasing the length of the gate g2 of the second transistor T2. Since the channel of the second transistor T2 overlaps with the gate g2 of the second transistor T2, the channel length of the second transistor T2 is increased, thereby reducing the risk of leakage current of the second transistor T2.

In the second direction F2, the second connecting portion Y23 is disposed between two adjacent third active portions Y21. A reference voltage line Vr is connected to the second connecting portion Y23.
[0124] It is understandable that, based on the relative arrangement of the two rows of second active units Y2, the second connecting part Y23 is connected between the two rows of second active units Y2, thereby realizing the use of a reference voltage line Vr to simultaneously connect the second active units Y2 of the two rows of pixel circuits U20 in the same column.

[0126] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in the pixel circuit unit U2, in the first direction F1, the second active unit Y2 of one column of pixel circuit U20 and the second active unit Y2 of the other column of pixel circuit U20 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0127] A second connection part Y23 simultaneously connects to four adjacent third active parts Y21 in two rows of pixel circuits U20 and two columns of pixel circuits U20, and a reference voltage line Vr is connected to the central region of the second connection part Y23.
[0128] It is understandable that in two adjacent columns of pixel circuits U20 with different pixel circuit units U2, the second active units Y2 of the upper two pixel circuits U20 and the second active units Y2 of the lower two pixel circuits U20 are arranged opposite each other, and the second active units Y2 of the left two pixel circuits U20 and the second active units Y2 of the right two pixel circuits U20 are arranged opposite each other. The second active units Y2 of the four pixel circuits U20 are all connected to the second connecting part Y23 located in the middle of the four. Based on this, by using the reference voltage line Vr to connect the second connecting part Y23, the reference voltage line Vr can be connected to the four second active units Y2 of the two rows of pixel circuits U20 at the same time.
[0129] Secondly, the reference voltage line Vr is connected to the central region of the second connection part Y23 to improve the synchronization of the initialization signal to the four second active units Y2.

[0131] Optionally, please combine Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, in the first direction F1, the first connecting portion Y13 and the second connecting portion Y23 are alternately spaced.
[0132] It is understandable that the first connecting part Y13 and the second connecting part Y23 are arranged alternately at intervals in the first direction F1 to make full use of the layout space, thereby achieving high resolution and reducing the risk of mutual coupling between the two.
[0133] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the first node Q and the second node A are disposed on the same layer, and the first node Q and the storage capacitor Cst are disposed on different layers.

Since the channel of the third transistor T3 overlaps with the gate g3 of the third transistor T3, the channel length of the third transistor T3 is increased, thereby reducing the risk of leakage current of the third transistor T3.
[0142] In the second direction F2, the gate g4 of the fourth transistor T4 protrudes beyond the body line of the third control line Gn, increasing the length of the gate g4 of the fourth transistor T4.
