Note that the embodiments can be implemented in multiple different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0077] The proportions of the drawings in this disclosure can be used as a reference in the actual process, but are not limited to this. For example: the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, 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 numbers shown in the figures. The drawings described in this disclosure are only structural schematic diagrams, and one method of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0078] In the present specification, ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number.
[0079] In this specification, for the sake of convenience, the words and phrases indicating the orientation or positional relationship, such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., are used to illustrate the positional relationship of the constituent elements with reference to the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the constituent elements is appropriately changed according to the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, it is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification, and can be appropriately replaced according to the situation.
[0080] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate, or the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0081] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element including at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a 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 a region where current mainly flows.
[0082] In this specification, the first electrode may be a drain electrode and the second electrode may be a source electrode, or the first electrode may be a source electrode and the second electrode may be a drain electrode. In the case of using transistors with opposite polarities or when the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" may be interchanged, and the "source terminal" and the "drain terminal" may be interchanged.
[0083] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the case where components are connected together through an element having some electrical function. There is no particular limitation on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it can transmit and receive electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having various functions.
[0084] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and therefore, also includes a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and therefore, also includes a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.
[0085] In this specification, "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced by "conductive film". Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced by "insulating layer".
[0086] The triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons in this specification are not in the strict sense, and may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons, etc. There may be some small deformations caused by tolerances, and there may be chamfers, arc edges and deformations.
[0087] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly limited to allow for process and measurement errors.

The data driver can generate data voltages to be provided to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ... and Dn using grayscale values and control signals received from the timing controller. For example, the data driver can sample grayscale values using a clock signal, and apply data voltages corresponding to grayscale values to data signal lines D1 to Dn in units of pixel rows, where n can be a natural number.

For example, the scan driver can be constructed in the form of a shift register, and can sequentially transmit scan start signals provided in the form of conduction level pulses to the next level circuit under the control of the clock signal to generate scan signals, where m can be a natural number. The light-emitting driver can generate emission signals to be provided to light-emitting signal lines E1, E2, E3, ... and Eo by receiving clock signals, emission stop signals, etc. from the timing controller.

[0151] The following is an exemplary explanation through the preparation process of the display substrate. The "patterning process" mentioned in the present disclosure includes deposition of film layers, coating of photoresist on the film layers, mask exposure, development, etching, stripping of photoresist and other processes for metal materials, inorganic materials or transparent conductive materials, and includes coating of organic materials, mask exposure and development and other processes for organic materials. Deposition can be any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, chemical vapor deposition, coating can be any one or more of spraying, spin coating and inkjet printing, and etching can be any one or more of dry etching and wet etching, which are not limited in the present disclosure. "Thin film" refers to a layer of thin film made of a certain material on a substrate by deposition, coating or other processes. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire production process, the "thin film" can also be called a "layer". If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire production 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 "A and B are arranged in the same layer" in the present disclosure means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer is the size of the film layer in the direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In the exemplary embodiments of the present 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 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.
