[0079] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings below. 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.
[0080] 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.
[0081] 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.
[0082] 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.
[0083] 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.
[0084] 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.
[0085] 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.
[0086] 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.
[0087] 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°.
[0088] 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".
[0089] 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.
[0090] 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 orthographic projection of the first light shielding block 110 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-gate electrode 22-2 of the second gate electrode 22 on the substrate. The first light shielding block 110 is configured to block light from irradiating the channel region of the second transistor T2, which can prevent the second transistor T2 from changing its characteristics due to light, improve the electrical characteristics of the second transistor T2, and avoid problems such as powdering.
[0276] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first light shielding block 110 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-gate electrode 22-2 on the substrate have a first gate overlapping region, and the shape of the first gate overlapping region can be a strip shape extending along the second direction Y, and can be located at the edge of the fourth sub-gate electrode 22-2 near the first power line 61.

[0280] The inventors of the present application have found through research that the main reason for the powdering problem and other problems in the existing display devices is that the channel region of the transistor is irradiated by light. Fig.19 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a second transistor T2 being illuminated by light. Fig.19As shown, in the existing display substrate, since there is a light leakage area on the side of the second transistor T2 close to the first power line 61, light can directly irradiate the channel area of the second transistor T2, such as light G1. In addition, since a second shielding electrode 92 is provided under the second active layer 12 of the second transistor T2, the second shielding electrode 92 is configured to block impurity ions from entering the channel area, and thus the size of the second shielding electrode 92 is larger than the size of the second active layer 12, so that part of the light may irradiate the second shielding electrode 92, and then be reflected by the second shielding electrode 92 to irradiate the channel area of the second transistor T2, such as light G2. Studies have shown that the channel area of the second transistor T2 is irradiated with light and the current I is turned off. OFF The voltage Vgs of the third transistor T3 decreases, and the brightness of the corresponding light-emitting unit decreases, resulting in powdering and other problems.
