[0053] The following will describe the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments can be implemented in a plurality of different forms. A person skilled in the art can easily understand the fact that the method and content can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents of the utility model described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily.
[0054] In the drawings, the size of one or more components, the thickness of a layer, or an area is sometimes exaggerated for the sake of clarity. Therefore, one embodiment of the utility model is not necessarily limited to the size, and the shape and size of one or more components in the drawings do not reflect the true proportion. In addition, the drawings schematically show ideal examples, and one embodiment of the utility model is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0055] The ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third" and the like in this specification are provided to avoid confusion of constituent elements, rather than to limit the quantity. The "plurality" in this utility model means two or more.
[0056] 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" and the like 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 on the present utility model. 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.
[0057] 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, or a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, or a 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 meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the circumstances.
[0058] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element including at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A 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. In this specification, a channel region refers to a region where current mainly flows.
[0059] 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 direction of current 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.
[0060] In this specification, "connection" includes the case where the 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 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.
[0061] 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°.
[0062] The terms “approximately” and “substantially” in the present invention do not strictly define the limits, but allow for process and measurement errors.
[0063] In this specification, A extends along direction B means that A may include a main part and a secondary part connected to the main part, the main part is a line, line segment or strip-shaped body, the main part extends along direction B, and the length of the main part extending along direction B is greater than the length of the secondary part extending along other directions. In this specification, "A extends along direction B" means "the main part of A extends along direction B".
[0064] In this specification, "A and B are of the same layer structure" means that A and B are formed simultaneously by the same patterning process. "The same layer" does not always mean that the thickness of the layer or the height of the layer is the same in the cross-sectional view. "The orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the orthographic projection of B falls within the orthographic projection range of A, or the orthographic projection of A covers the orthographic projection of B.
[0065] With the development of display technology, users' requirements for display quality are gradually increasing. In the lower frame area of the display panel, the capacitance generated by the overlapping of the traces will affect the load difference of the signal transmitted by the traces (for example, the load difference of the data signal), resulting in poor display of the display panel. Taking the display panel applied to wearable products such as watches as an example, the data fan-out line transmitting the data signal overlaps with the trace transmitting the AC signal, which will cause signal load difference, resulting in poor display such as light and dark stripes or split screen.
[0066] The present embodiment provides a display panel, comprising: a substrate, a plurality of sub-pixels, a plurality of data lines, a plurality of data fan-out lines, and a plurality of control signal lines. The substrate comprises: a display area, and a first frame area located on one side of the display area. A plurality of sub-pixels and a plurality of data lines are located in the display area, and a plurality of data lines are connected to a plurality of sub-pixels and configured to provide data signals to the plurality of sub-pixels. A plurality of data fan-out lines and a plurality of control signal lines are located in the first frame area, and a plurality of data fan-out lines are configured to provide data signals to a plurality of data lines. A plurality of data fan-out lines comprise: a first group of data fan-out lines and a second group of data fan-out lines, and a plurality of control signal lines comprise: a first group of control signal lines and a second group of control signal lines; the number of control signal lines in the first group of control signal lines is greater than the number of control signal lines in the second group of control signal lines. Each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines overlaps with the first group of control signal lines in their orthographic projection on the substrate, and each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines overlaps with the second group of control signal lines in their orthographic projection on the substrate. At least one organic insulating layer is disposed between the data fan-out line and the control signal line overlapping in an orthographic projection of the substrate.
[0067] In the display panel provided in the present embodiment, in the first frame area, at least one organic insulating layer is arranged between the data fan-out line and the overlapping control signal line, which can increase the distance between the data fan-out line and the overlapping control signal line, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out line and the overlapping control signal line, and can improve display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out line and the control signal line transmitting the AC signal.
[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, the control signal line may include: a first control line segment, the orthographic projection of the first control line segment on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first group of data fan-out lines or the second group of data fan-out lines on the substrate, the first control line segment may be located on the side of the first group of data fan-out lines or the second group of data fan-out lines away from the substrate, and the first control line segment and the extension direction of the plurality of data fan-out lines may intersect. In some examples, in a direction perpendicular to the display panel, the display panel may include at least: a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a first source-drain metal layer, and a second source-drain metal layer arranged along a direction away from the substrate; at least a first flat layer is arranged between the first source-drain metal layer and the second source-drain metal layer. The plurality of data fan-out lines may be located in at least one of the first gate metal layer and the second gate metal layer, and the first control line segment of the plurality of control signal lines may be located in the second source-drain metal layer. In other examples, in a direction perpendicular to the display panel, the display panel may include at least: a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a first source-drain metal layer, a second source-drain metal layer, and a third source-drain metal layer arranged in a direction away from the substrate; at least a first flat layer may be arranged between the first source-drain metal layer and the second source-drain metal layer, and at least a second flat layer may be arranged between the second source-drain metal layer and the third source-drain metal layer. A plurality of data fan-out lines may be located in at least one of the first gate metal layer and the second gate metal layer, and a first control line segment of a plurality of control signal lines may be located in the third source-drain metal layer. In this example, by setting a film layer where the first control line segment of the control signal line is located (for example, the first control line segment is located in the second source-drain metal layer or the third source-drain metal layer), the distance between the data fan-out line and the first control line segment of the overlapping control signal line is increased, and the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out line and the overlapping control signal line can be reduced, thereby effectively improving the display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by the uneven overlap of the data fan-out line and the control signal line.
[0069] In some exemplary embodiments, each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines has a first overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the first group of control signal lines on the substrate, and each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines has a second overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines on the substrate, and the ratio of the first overlapping area to the second overlapping area may range from 0.9 to 1.1, such as 1.0. For example, the first overlapping area and the second overlapping area may be substantially the same. This example adjusts the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out line and the overlapping control signal line by adjusting the overlapping area between each data fan-out line and the plurality of control signal lines, so that the parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the control signal line is substantially the same, thereby optimizing display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap between the data fan-out line and the control signal line transmitting the AC signal.
[0070] In some exemplary embodiments, each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines may include: a first sub-line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first group of control signal lines on the substrate; each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines may include: a second sub-line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines on the substrate. The line width of the first sub-line segment may be smaller than the line width of the second sub-line segment. For example, the ratio of the line width of the second sub-line segment to the line width of the first sub-line segment may be greater than 1 and less than 2. In this example, by increasing the line width of the second sub-segment of the second group of data fan-out lines, the overlapping area between the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines can be increased, so that the second overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines can be roughly the same as the first overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines, and the parasitic capacitance between the second group of data fan-out lines and the overlapping wiring is increased, so that the parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping wiring is roughly the same, thereby improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines.
[0071] In some exemplary embodiments, each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines may include: a first sub-line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first group of control signal lines on the substrate; each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines may include: a second sub-line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines on the substrate. The orthographic projection of the first sub-line segment on the substrate may be a straight line, and the orthographic projection of the second sub-line segment on the substrate may be a serpentine line. The serpentine line is a meandering curve. For example, after one end of the line extends a distance in one direction, it bends and twists and extends a distance in the opposite direction to the direction, bends and twists again and extends in the direction, and bends and twists repeatedly several times to form a serpentine line. This example uses a serpentine line design for some segments of the second group of data fan-out lines to increase the overlapping area between the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines, thereby reducing the difference in parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines.
[0072] In some exemplary embodiments, each control signal line in the first group of control signal lines may include: a first control line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first group of data fan-out lines on the substrate; each control signal line in the second group of control signal lines may include: a first control line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second group of data fan-out lines on the substrate. The line width of the first control line segment of at least one control signal line in the second group of control signal lines may be greater than the line width of the first control line segment of the control signal line in the first group of control signal lines. In this example, by increasing the line width of the first control line segment of the second group of control signal lines, the overlapping area between the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines can be increased, so that the parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines is approximately the same, thereby improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines.
[0073] The solution of this embodiment is described below by means of some examples.
[0074] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a display panel of at least one embodiment of the present utility model. In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display panel may include: a display area AA, a peripheral frame area B2 surrounding the display area AA, and a first frame area B1 located on one side of the display area AA. The first frame area B1 may be located on the side of the peripheral frame area B2 away from the display area AA along the second direction Y. The first frame area B1 may be connected to the peripheral frame area B2. For example, the first frame area B1 may be the lower frame of the display panel. The peripheral frame area B2 may include: a second frame area B21 and a third frame area B22 located on both sides of the display area AA along the first direction X. The second frame area B21 may be connected to the first frame area B1, and the third frame area B22 may be connected to the first frame area B1. For example, the second frame area B21 may be the left frame of the display panel, and the third frame area B22 may be the right frame of the display panel.
[0075] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display area AA may be a flat area including a plurality of sub-pixels PX constituting a pixel array, and the plurality of sub-pixels PX may be configured to display a dynamic picture or a still image. The display area AA may be referred to as an active area. In some examples, the display area AA may be circular or elliptical. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the display area may be other shapes such as a rectangle. In some examples, the display panel may be a flexible panel, and thus the display panel may be deformable, such as curling, bending, folding, or rolling up.
[0076] In some examples, such as Figure 1As shown, the display area AA may include: a display structure layer arranged on a substrate, or may include a display structure layer and a touch structure layer arranged on a substrate in sequence. For example, the display panel may integrate a touch structure to form a structure of a touch structure on a thin film encapsulation (Touch on Thin Film Encapsulation, referred to as Touch on TFE). The Touch on TFE structure mainly includes a Flexible Multi-Layer On Cell (FMLOC) structure and a Flexible Single-Layer On Cell (FSLOC) structure. The FMLOC structure is based on the working principle of mutual capacitance detection. Generally, two layers of metal are used to form a driving (Tx) electrode and a sensing (Rx) electrode. The driving chip (IC) realizes the touch action by detecting the mutual capacitance between the driving electrode and the sensing electrode. The FSLOC structure is based on the working principle of self-capacitance (or voltage) detection. Generally, a single layer of metal is used to form a touch electrode. The integrated circuit realizes the touch action by detecting the self-capacitance (or voltage) of the touch electrode.
[0077] In some examples, the display structure layer may include a plurality of sub-pixels PX, a plurality of gate lines GL, and a plurality of data lines DL. The plurality of gate lines GL may extend along a first direction X, and the plurality of data lines DL may extend along a second direction Y. The orthographic projections of the plurality of gate lines GL and the plurality of data lines DL on the substrate may intersect to form a plurality of sub-pixel regions. A sub-pixel PX may be disposed in a sub-pixel region. The plurality of data lines DL may be electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels PX, and the plurality of data lines DL may be configured to provide data signals to the plurality of sub-pixels PX. The plurality of gate lines GL may be electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels PX, and the plurality of gate lines GL may be configured to provide a gate drive signal to the plurality of sub-pixels PX. For example, the gate drive signal may include a scan signal, or may include a scan signal and a light emitting control signal, or may include a scan signal, a reset control signal, and a light emitting control signal.
[0078] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first direction X may be the extension direction (e.g., row direction) of the gate lines GL in the display area AA, and the second direction Y may be the extension direction (e.g., column direction) of the data lines DL in the display area AA. The first direction X and the second direction Y may intersect each other, for example, may be perpendicular to each other.
[0079] In some examples, a pixel unit of display area AA may include three sub-pixels, and the three sub-pixels may be a first sub-pixel emitting a first color light (e.g., red light), a second sub-pixel emitting a second color light (e.g., green light), and a third sub-pixel emitting a third color light (e.g., blue light). However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In some examples, a pixel unit may include four sub-pixels, and the four sub-pixels may be a sub-pixel emitting red light, a sub-pixel emitting green light, a sub-pixel emitting blue light, and a sub-pixel emitting white light. For another example, a pixel unit may include four sub-pixels, and the four sub-pixels may include a sub-pixel emitting red light, a sub-pixel emitting blue light, and two sub-pixels emitting green light.
[0080] In some examples, the shape of the sub-pixel may be a rectangle, a rhombus, a pentagon, or a hexagon. When a pixel unit includes three sub-pixels, the three sub-pixels may be arranged in parallel horizontally, vertically, or in a triangular pattern; when a pixel unit includes four sub-pixels, the four sub-pixels may be arranged in parallel horizontally, vertically, or in a square pattern. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.
[0081] In some examples, a sub-pixel may include: a pixel circuit and a light-emitting element electrically connected to the pixel circuit. The pixel circuit may include multiple transistors and at least one capacitor. For example, the pixel circuit may be a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C or 8T1C structure. Wherein, T in the above circuit structure 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. In some examples, the multiple transistors in the pixel circuit may include P-type transistors and N-type transistors. In other examples, the multiple transistors in the pixel circuit may be P-type transistors or may be N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistors in the pixel circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the process difficulty of the display substrate, and improve the yield of the product.
[0082] In some examples, the light-emitting element may be any one of a light-emitting diode (LED), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), a micro-LED (including: mini-LED or micro-LED), etc. For example, the light-emitting element may be an OLED, and the light-emitting element may emit red light, green light, blue light, or white light, etc. when driven by its corresponding pixel circuit. The color of the light emitted by the light-emitting element may be determined as required. In some examples, the light-emitting element may include: an anode, a cathode, and an organic light-emitting layer located between the anode and the cathode. The anode of the light-emitting element may be electrically connected to the corresponding pixel circuit. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.
[0083] Figure 2 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel circuit of at least one embodiment of the present utility model. The pixel circuit of this example is described by taking an 8T1C structure as an example. In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pixel circuit of this example may include eight transistors (i.e., the first transistor T1 to the eighth transistor T8) and a storage capacitor Cst. The first transistor T1 may also be referred to as a first reset transistor, the second transistor T2 may also be referred to as a threshold compensation transistor, the third transistor T3 may also be referred to as a drive transistor, the fourth transistor T4 may also be referred to as a data writing transistor, the fifth transistor T5 may also be referred to as a first light emission control transistor, the sixth transistor T6 may also be referred to as a second light emission control transistor, the seventh transistor T7 may also be referred to as a second reset transistor, and the eighth transistor T8 may also be referred to as a third reset transistor. The light emitting element EL may include an anode, a cathode, and an organic light emitting layer disposed between the anode and the cathode.
[0084] In some examples, the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3 to the eighth transistor T8 may be first type transistors, for example, P type transistors, and the second transistor T2 may be second type transistors, for example, N type transistors. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the plurality of transistors of the pixel circuit may all be P type transistors, or may all be N type transistors.
[0085] In some examples, the first type of transistor of the pixel circuit (for example, including the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3 to the eighth transistor T8) can adopt a low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor, and the second type of transistor of the pixel circuit (for example, including the second transistor T2) can adopt an oxide thin film transistor. The active layer of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor adopts low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS), and the active layer of the oxide thin film transistor adopts an oxide semiconductor (Oxide). Low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistors have the advantages of high mobility and fast charging, and oxide thin film transistors have the advantages of low leakage current. Integrating low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistors and oxide thin film transistors on a display substrate to form a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPS+Oxide) display substrate can take advantage of the advantages of both, achieve low-frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display quality.

The first power line PL1 can be configured to provide a constant first voltage signal VDD to the pixel circuit, the second power line PL2 can be configured to provide a constant second voltage signal VSS to the pixel circuit, and the first voltage signal VDD is greater than the second voltage signal VSS. The first scan line GL1 can be configured to provide a first scan signal SCAN1 to the pixel circuit. The second scan line GL2 can be configured to provide a second scan signal SCAN2 to the pixel circuit. The data line DL can be configured to provide a data signal to the pixel circuit.

The gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second scan line GL2, the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first node N1. The gate of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the light emission control line EML, the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first power line PL1, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second node N2. The gate of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the light emission control line EML, the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4. The gate of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first reset control line RST1, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first initial signal line INIT1, and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the third node N3.

[0089] Figure 3 for Figure 2 The working timing diagram of the pixel circuit provided is as follows. Figure 3 right Figure 2The working process of the pixel circuit shown in FIG. 1 is described as follows. The first transistor T1, the third transistor T3 to the eighth transistor T8 of the pixel circuit are P-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 is an N-type transistor.
[0090] In some examples, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a frame display time period, the working process of the pixel circuit may at least include: a first stage S11, a second stage S12, a third stage S13 and a fourth stage S14.
[0091] The first stage S11 is called the first reset stage. The second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 is a low-level signal, which turns on the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8; the second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, which turns on the second transistor T2. The eighth transistor T8 is turned on, so that the third initial signal provided by the third initial signal line INIT3 is provided to the second node N2. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on, so that the second initial signal provided by the second initial signal line INIT2 is provided to the fourth node N4, and the fourth node N4 is initialized. The first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1 is a high-level signal, the first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1 is a high-level signal, and the light control signal EM provided by the light control line EML is a high-level signal, so that the fourth transistor T4, the first transistor T1, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off. In this stage, the light-emitting element EL does not emit light.
[0092] The second stage S12 is called the second reset stage. The first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1 is a low-level signal, and the first transistor T1 is turned on; the second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, and the second transistor T2 is turned on. The first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, so that the first initial signal line provided by the first initial signal line INIT1 is provided to the first node N1, and the first node N1 is initialized. The second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 is a high-level signal, the first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1 is a high-level signal, and the light-emitting control signal EM provided by the light-emitting control line EML is a high-level signal, so that the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off. In this stage, the light-emitting element EL does not emit light.
[0093] The third stage S13 is called the data writing stage or the threshold compensation stage. The first scanning signal SCAN1 provided by the first scanning line GL1 is a low level signal, and the fourth transistor T4 is turned on; the second scanning signal SCAN2 provided by the second scanning line GL2 is a high level signal, and the second transistor T2 is turned on. In this stage, the first electrode of the storage capacitor Cst is at a low level, and the third transistor T3 is turned on. The second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4 and the third transistor T3 are turned on, so that the data voltage Vdata output by the data line DL is provided to the first node N1 through the second node N2, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3 and the turned-on second transistor T2, and the difference between the data voltage Vdata output by the data line DL and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the storage capacitor Cst, and the voltage of the first electrode (i.e., the first node N1) of the storage capacitor Cst is Vdata-|Vth|, where Vdata is the data voltage output by the data line DL, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. The first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1 is a high level signal, the second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 is a high level signal, and the light control signal EM provided by the light control line EML is a high level signal, so that the first transistor T1, the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are disconnected.
[0094] In the fourth stage S14, the light control signal EM provided by the light control line EML can be switched from a high level signal to a low level signal, so that the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on. The second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a low level signal, so that the second transistor T2 is turned off. The first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1, the first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1, and the second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 are high level signals, so that the fourth transistor T4, the first transistor T1, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off. The first voltage signal VDD output by the first power line PL1 provides a driving voltage to the anode of the light emitting element EL through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the third transistor T3, and the sixth transistor T6, so as to drive the light emitting element EL to emit light.
[0095] During the driving process of the pixel circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 is determined by the voltage difference between its gate and the first electrode. Since the voltage of the first node N1 is Vdata-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:
[0096] I=K×(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K×[(VDD-Vdata+|Vth|)-Vth]2 =K×[VDD-Vdata] 2 ;
[0097] Among them, I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, that is, the driving current driving the light-emitting element, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vdata is the data voltage output by the data line DL, and VDD is the first voltage signal output by the first power line PL1.
[0098] It can be seen from the above formula that the current flowing through the light-emitting element has nothing to do with the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. Therefore, the pixel circuit of this embodiment can better compensate for the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. Moreover, the pixel circuit provided by this embodiment can improve the poor display caused by low frequency and improve the display effect of the light-emitting element.

In other examples, a bottom shielding metal layer (BSM, Bottom Shielding Metal) can also be provided on the side of the buffer layer close to the substrate, and the bottom shielding metal layer can be configured to at least partially cover the active layer of the transistor of the pixel circuit to avoid external light from affecting the performance of the transistor. In other examples, the passivation layer can be omitted between the first source and drain metal layer and the second source and drain metal layer, and only the first flat layer can be provided between the first source and drain metal layer and the second source and drain metal layer.

The plurality of second contact pads 63 may be configured to bind a flexible printed circuit (FPC) so that a plurality of signal lines (for example, including a plurality of control signal lines, a first power lead line and a second power lead line, etc.) are connected to an external control device through the plurality of second contact pads 63. The second signal access area B15 may also be referred to as a circuit binding area. The second group of first contact pads 62 in the first signal access area B14 may be electrically connected to the plurality of second contact pads 63 in the second signal access area B15 through a plurality of pin connection lines 64.
[0142] In some examples, since the number of gate drive circuits provided in the peripheral border area is odd (for example, five), the number of gate drive circuits provided in the second border area and the third border area cannot be evenly distributed (for example, three gate drive circuits are provided in the second border area, and two gate drive circuits are provided in the third border area), which will cause uneven overlap of the routing of the two groups of data fan-out lines and the two groups of control signal lines in the first border area. For example, the number of control signal lines in the first group of control signal lines that overlap with the first group of data fan-out lines is greater than the number of control signal lines in the second group of control signal lines that overlap with the second group of data fan-out lines, thereby making the parasitic capacitance generated between the multiple data fan-out lines and the overlapping routing lines inconsistent, which can easily cause display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes. In this example, the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines is reduced by increasing the distance between the data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines, thereby improving the display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by the uneven overlap of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines.
[0143] Figure 7 for Figure 6 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of the middle area S1. Fig. 8A for Figure 7 An example of a local cross-section along the Q1-Q1' direction. Figure 8B for Figure 7 The following is an example of a partial cross-section diagram along the Q2-Q2' direction. The position relationship between the first group of data fan-out lines 41a and the first group of control signal lines 42a is used as an example for explanation.
[0144] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first group of data fan-out lines 41a may include: a plurality of first data fan-out lines 411a located in the first gate metal layer and a plurality of second data fan-out lines 412a located in the second gate metal layer. The plurality of first data fan-out lines 411a and the plurality of second data fan-out lines 412a may be arranged one by one, and the orthographic projections of the first data fan-out lines 411a and the second data fan-out lines 412a on the substrate do not overlap. In other words, the spacing distance between the orthographic projections of the first data fan-out lines 411a and the adjacent second data fan-out lines 412a on the substrate may be greater than 0.
[0145] In some examples, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, each control signal line in the first group of control signal lines 42a may include: a first control line segment 421a, a second control line segment 422a, and a third control line segment 423a. One end of the first control line segment 421a is connected to one end of the second control line segment 422a, and the other end of the first control line segment 421a is connected to one end of the third control line segment 423a. The other end of the third control line segment 423a may be connected to the control connection line 56. The other end of the second control line segment 422a may extend to connect to the contact pad of the second signal access area. The orthographic projection of the first control line segment 421a on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first group of data fan-out lines 41a on the substrate, and the orthographic projections of the second control line segment 422a and the third control line segment 423a on the substrate do not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first group of data fan-out lines 41a on the substrate.
[0146] In some examples, the second control line segment 422a and the third control line segment 423a may be in the same layer structure, for example, they may be located in the first source-drain metal layer. The first control line segment 421a and the second control line segment 422a and the third control line segment 423a may be in different layer structures, for example, the first control line segment 421a may be located on the side of the second control line segment 422a and the third control line segment 423a away from the substrate, for example, the first control line segment 421a may be located in the second source-drain metal layer. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, the first control line segment, the second control line segment and the third control line segment of the control signal line may be an integrated structure connected to each other, for example, they may be located in the second source-drain metal layer.
[0147] In some examples, such as Fig. 8A and Figure 8B As shown, the first data fan-out line 411a is located in the first gate metal layer, the second data fan-out line 412a is located in the second gate metal layer, and the first control line segment 421a of the control signal line in the first group of control signal lines 42a is located in the second source-drain metal layer. At least one organic insulating layer (including the first flat layer 107) and multiple inorganic insulating layers (for example, at least including the passivation layer 106, the interlayer insulating layer 105 and the second gate insulating layer 102) are arranged between the first control line segment 421a of the control signal line and the first data fan-out line 411a where the control signal line overlaps; at least one organic insulating layer (including the first flat layer 107) and multiple inorganic insulating layers (for example, at least including the passivation layer 106 and the interlayer insulating layer 105) are arranged between the first control line segment 421a of the control signal line and the second data fan-out line 412a where the control signal line overlaps.
[0148] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, each control signal line in the second group of control signal lines 42b may include: a first control line segment 421b, a second control line segment 422b, and a third control line segment 423b. The orthographic projection of the first control line segment 421b on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second group of data fan-out lines 41b on the substrate, and the orthographic projections of the second control line segment 422b and the third control line segment 423b on the substrate do not overlap with the orthographic projections of the second group of data fan-out lines 41b on the substrate. The film layer setting of the second group of data fan-out lines 41b is the same as the film layer setting of the first group of data fan-out lines 41a, and the film layer setting of the second group of control signal lines 42b is the same as the film layer setting of the second group of control signal lines 42a, so it will not be repeated here.
[0149] In this example, an organic insulating layer is set between the data fan-out line and the first control line segment of the overlapping control signal line, so that the data fan-out line and the first control line segment of the control signal line can be separated by a large distance, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out line and the control signal line, and improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out line and the control signal line.

Fig. 10A for Figure 7 Another example of a local cross-section along the Q1-Q1' direction. Fig. 10B for Figure 7 Another example of a local cross-section along the Q2-Q2' direction.
[0151] In some examples, such as Fig. 9As shown, in the direction perpendicular to the display panel, the circuit structure layer 12 of the display area may include: a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, a first source-drain metal layer, a second source-drain metal layer and a third source-drain metal layer arranged on the substrate 10. A passivation layer 106 and a first flat layer 107 may be arranged between the first source-drain metal layer and the second source-drain metal layer, a second flat layer 108 may be arranged between the second source-drain metal layer and the third source-drain metal layer, and a third flat layer 109 may be arranged on the side of the third source-drain metal layer away from the substrate 10. The first flat layer 107, the second flat layer 108 and the third flat layer 109 may be organic insulating layers. The third source-drain metal layer may include at least: a second transfer electrode 242. The second transfer electrode 242 may be connected to the first transfer electrode 241 located in the second source-drain metal layer through a via hole opened in the second flat layer 108. In this example, the electrical connection between the pixel circuit and the light-emitting element may be realized through the second transfer electrode 242 and the first transfer electrode 241. For the remaining film layer structures of the display panel of this example, please refer to Figure 4 The description of the embodiment shown is therefore not repeated here.
[0152] In some examples, such as Fig. 10A and Fig. 10B As shown, the first data fan-out line 411a is located in the first gate metal layer, the second data fan-out line 412a is located in the second gate metal layer, and the first control line segment 421a of the control signal line in the first group of control signal lines 42a can be located in the third source-drain metal layer. At least two organic insulating layers (including the first flat layer 107 and the second flat layer 108) and multiple inorganic insulating layers (for example, at least including the passivation layer 106, the interlayer insulating layer 105 and the second gate insulating layer 102) are arranged between the first control line segment 421a of the control signal line and the first data fan-out line 411a where there is an overlap; at least two organic insulating layers (including the first flat layer 107 and the second flat layer 108) and multiple inorganic insulating layers (for example, at least including the passivation layer 106 and the interlayer insulating layer 105) are arranged between the first control line segment 421a of the control signal line and the second data fan-out line 412a where there is an overlap. The rest of the description of the first border area of this example can refer to the description of the aforementioned embodiment, so it is not repeated here.
[0153] In this example, two organic insulating layers are set between the data fan-out line and the first control line segment of the overlapping control signal line, so that the data fan-out line and the first control line segment of the control signal line can be further apart, and the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out line and the control signal line can be better isolated, thereby improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out line and the control signal line.
[0154] This example increases the distance between the data fan-out line and the first control line segment of the overlapping control signal line by adjusting the film layer where the first control line segment of the control signal line is located (for example, the first control line segment is located in the second source-drain metal layer or the third source-drain metal layer), and reduces the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out line and the overlapping control signal line, thereby effectively improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out line and the control signal line.
[0155] Fig.11 Another partial plan view of the first border area of at least one embodiment of the utility model. Fig.11 The partial structures of the bending area B12, the fan-out area B13, the first signal access area B14 and the second signal access area B15 are illustrated. Fig.11 The data bending connection lines, touch bending connection lines, control bending connection lines, control connection lines and data fan-out lines in the first border area are generally illustrated, and the control signal lines are only illustrated using several lines as an example. This example does not limit the number of multiple lines in the first border area.
[0156] In some examples, such as Fig.11 As shown, the number of control signal lines in the first group of control signal lines 42a is greater than the number of control signal lines in the second group of control signal lines 42b. Each control signal line in the first group of control signal lines 42a can be an integral structure located in the same film layer, and each control signal line in the second group of control signal lines 42b can be an integral structure located in the same film layer. For example, multiple control signal lines can be located in the first source-drain metal layer. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, multiple control signal lines can be located in the second source-drain metal layer or the third source-drain metal layer.
[0157] Fig. 12A for Fig.11 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of the middle area S2. Fig. 12B for Fig. 12A A partial schematic diagram of the first set of data fan-out lines in FIG. Fig. 12A and Fig. 12B As shown, the first group of data fan-out lines 41a may include: a plurality of first data fan-out lines 411a located in the first gate metal layer and a plurality of second data fan-out lines 412a located in the second gate metal layer. The plurality of first data fan-out lines 411a and the plurality of second data fan-out lines 412a may be arranged one by one, and the orthographic projections of the first data fan-out lines 411a and the second data fan-out lines 412a on the substrate do not overlap. In other words, the spacing distance between the orthographic projections of the first data fan-out lines 411a and the adjacent second data fan-out lines 412a on the substrate may be greater than 0.
[0158] In some examples, such as Fig. 12A and Fig. 12B As shown, each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a may include: a first sub-segment 41-1, a third sub-segment 41-3 and a fourth sub-segment 41-4. One end of the first sub-segment 41-1 is connected to one end of the third sub-segment 41-3, and the other end of the first sub-segment 41-1 is connected to one end of the fourth sub-segment 41-4. The other end of the third sub-segment 41-3 may extend to one side of the bending area, and the other end of the fourth sub-segment 41-4 may extend to one side of the first signal access area. The orthographic projection of the first sub-segment 41-1 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first group of control signal lines 42a on the substrate, and the orthographic projections of the third sub-segment 41-3 and the fourth sub-segment 41-4 on the substrate may not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first group of control signal lines 42a on the substrate. The first sub-segment 41-1, the third sub-segment 41-3 and the fourth sub-segment 41-4 of the data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a may be an integrated structure connected to each other. The orthographic projection of the data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a on the substrate may be a straight line, and the orthographic projection of the first sub-segment 41-1 on the substrate may be roughly a long strip. The line width of the first sub-segment 41-1 of the data fan-out line may be the first line width W1, and the line widths of the third sub-segment 41-3 and the fourth sub-segment 41-4 may be the same as the line width of the first sub-segment 41-1.
[0159] In some examples, such as Fig. 12A and Fig. 12B As shown, each control signal line in the first group of control signal lines 42a may include: a first control line segment 421a, and the orthographic projection of the first control line segment 421a on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first sub-line segment 41-1 of the data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a on the substrate. For example, the first control line segment 421a of each control signal line may have a third line width K1.
[0160] In some examples, each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a may have a first overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the first group of control signal lines 42a on the substrate. The first overlapping area may be the sum of the overlapping areas of one data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a and all control signal lines in the first group of control signal lines 42a. The first overlapping areas corresponding to the plurality of data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a may be substantially the same.
[0161] Fig.13A for Fig.11 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of the middle area S3. Fig. 13B for Fig.13A A partial schematic diagram of the second set of data fan-out lines in FIG. Fig.13A and Fig. 13BAs shown, the second group of data fan-out lines 41b may include: a plurality of first data fan-out lines 411b located in the first gate metal layer and a plurality of second data fan-out lines 412b located in the second gate metal layer. The plurality of first data fan-out lines 411b and the plurality of second data fan-out lines 412b may be arranged one by one, and the orthographic projections of the first data fan-out lines 411b and the second data fan-out lines 412b on the substrate do not overlap. In other words, the spacing distance between the orthographic projections of the first data fan-out lines 411b and the adjacent second data fan-out lines 412b on the substrate may be greater than 0.
[0162] In some examples, such as Fig.13A and Fig. 13B As shown, each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b may include: a second sub-segment 41-2, a fifth sub-segment 41-5, and a sixth sub-segment 41-6. One end of the second sub-segment 41-2 is connected to one end of the fifth sub-segment 41-5, and the other end of the second sub-segment 41-2 is connected to one end of the sixth sub-segment 41-6. The other end of the fifth sub-segment 41-5 may extend to one side of the bending area, and the other end of the sixth sub-segment 41-6 may extend to one side of the first signal access area. The orthographic projection of the second sub-segment 41-2 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines 42b on the substrate, and the orthographic projections of the fifth sub-segment 41-5 and the sixth sub-segment 41-6 on the substrate may not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines 42b on the substrate. The second sub-segment 41 - 2 , the fifth sub-segment 41 - 5 and the sixth sub-segment 41 - 6 of the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines 41 b may be an integrated structure connected to each other.
[0163] In some examples, such as Fig.13A and Fig. 13B As shown, each control signal line in the second group of control signal lines 42b may include: a first control line segment 421b, and the orthographic projection of the first control line segment 421b on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second sub-line segment 41-2 of the data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b on the substrate. For example, the first control line segment 421b of each control signal line may have a fourth line width K2. For example, the fourth line width K2 may be substantially the same as the third line width K1.
[0164] In some examples, each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b may have a second overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines 42b on the substrate. The second overlapping area may be the sum of the overlapping areas of a data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b and all control signal lines in the second group of control signal lines 42b. The second overlapping areas corresponding to the plurality of data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b may be substantially the same.
[0165] In some examples, the orthographic projection of the second sub-segment 41-2 of the data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b on the substrate may be a serpentine routing. Since the number of control signal lines in the second group of control signal lines is less than the number of control signal lines in the first group of control signal lines, the number of control signal lines overlapped by each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b is less than the number of control signal lines overlapped by each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a. In this example, by setting the second sub-segment 41-2 of the data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b as a serpentine routing, the second overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines can be increased, so that the second overlapping area can be substantially the same as the first overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines, so as to reduce the difference in parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping routing. In some examples, the ratio of the first overlapping area to the second overlapping area can range from 0.9 to 1.1, for example, it can be approximately 1.0.
[0166] In some examples, the orthographic projection of the fifth sub-segment 41-5 or the sixth sub-segment 41-6 of at least one data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b on the substrate may be a serpentine line. For example, the orthographic projection of the fifth sub-segment 41-5 or the sixth sub-segment 41-6 of the plurality of data fan-out lines close to the touch lead-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b on the substrate may be a serpentine line. In some examples, since the number of pixel circuits electrically connected to each of the plurality of data lines in the display area is different, the loads of the plurality of data lines are different. For example, the display area is circular or elliptical, and the display area can be divided into a middle area and left and right side areas along the first direction X. The number of pixel circuits connected to the data lines in the middle area is greater than the number of pixel circuits connected to the data lines in the left area or the right area, so that the load of the data lines in the middle area is different from the load of the data lines in the left and right side areas. In order to ensure the display effect of the display area, it is necessary to perform load compensation on the data lines to ensure that the loads of the plurality of data lines in the display area are roughly the same. In this example, the load compensation for the data line in the display area is adjusted by setting the orthographic projection of the fifth sub-segment 41 - 5 or the sixth sub-segment 41 - 6 of at least one data fan-out line on the substrate to be a serpentine line.
[0167] In some examples, the line widths of the fifth and sixth sub-segments 41-5 and 41-6 in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b using a straight line design may be substantially the same as the first line width of the first sub-segment 41-1 of the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a.
[0168] This example utilizes a serpentine routing design for some segments of the second group of data fan-out lines, which can not only increase the overlapping area between the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance difference between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines, but also perform load compensation on the data lines in the display area to ensure that the loads of multiple data lines in the display area are roughly the same.
[0169] Fig.14A for Fig.11 Another partial enlarged schematic diagram of the middle area S3. Fig. 14B for Fig.14A A partial schematic diagram of the second set of data fan-out lines in FIG. Fig.14A and Fig. 14B As shown, each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b may include: a second sub-segment 41-2, a fifth sub-segment 41-5, and a sixth sub-segment 41-6. One end of the second sub-segment 41-2 is connected to one end of the fifth sub-segment 41-5, and the other end of the second sub-segment 41-2 is connected to one end of the sixth sub-segment 41-6. The other end of the fifth sub-segment 41-5 may extend to one side of the bending area, and the other end of the sixth sub-segment 41-6 may extend to one side of the first signal access area. The orthographic projection of the second sub-segment 41-2 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines 42b on the substrate, and the orthographic projections of the fifth sub-segment 41-5 and the sixth sub-segment 41-6 on the substrate may not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines 42b on the substrate. The second sub-segment 41 - 2 , the fifth sub-segment 41 - 5 and the sixth sub-segment 41 - 6 of the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines 41 b may be an integrated structure connected to each other.
[0170] In some examples, such as Fig.14A and Fig. 14B As shown, the orthographic projection of the second sub-segment 41-2 of the data fan-out line of the second group of data fan-out lines 41b on the substrate can be a straight line. The second sub-segment 41-2 can have a second line width W2. The second line width W2 can be the maximum line width of the second sub-segment 41-2. The second line width W2 of the second sub-segment 41-2 can be greater than the first line width W1 of the first sub-segment 41-1 of the data fan-out line of the first group of data fan-out lines 41a.
[0171] In some examples, the orthographic projections of the fifth sub-segment 41-5 and the sixth sub-segment 41-6 of the data fan-out line of the second group of data fan-out lines 41b on the substrate may both be straight line lines. The line widths of the fifth sub-segment 41-5 and the sixth sub-segment 41-6 may be substantially the same, for example, both the same as the first line width W1. For example, the ratio of the second line width W2 to the first line width W1 may be greater than 1 and less than 2, for example, may be approximately 1.7. In some examples, the first line width W1 may be approximately 5.1 micrometers (um), and the second line width W2 may be approximately 8.7um.
[0172] In this example, by increasing the line width of the second sub-segment of the second group of data fan-out lines, the overlapping area between the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines can be increased, so that the second overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines can be roughly the same as the first overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines, and the parasitic capacitance between the second group of data fan-out lines and the overlapping wiring is increased, so that the parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping wiring is roughly the same, thereby improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines.
[0173] Fig.15 for Fig.11 Another partial enlarged schematic diagram of the middle area S3. In some examples, such as Fig.15 As shown, the line shape and line width of the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b may be the same as the line shape and line width of the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a. The fourth line width K2 of the first control line segment 421b of at least one control signal line in the second group of control signal lines may be greater than the third line width K1 of the first control line segment 421a of the control signal line in the first group of control signal lines. For example, the fourth line width K2 of the first control line segment 421b of each control signal line in the second group of control signal lines may be the same and greater than the third line width K1.
[0174] In this example, by increasing the line width of the first control line segment of the second group of control signal lines, the overlapping area between the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines can be increased, so that the second overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines can be roughly the same as the first overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines, thereby increasing the parasitic capacitance between the second group of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines, so that the parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines is roughly the same, thereby improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines.
[0175] In some examples, FIG. 13A to FIG. 15In the illustrated embodiment, in order to ensure that the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines and the first group of control signal lines is approximately the same as the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines, the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines can be increased by increasing the overlapping area between the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines.
[0176] In other examples, the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines and the first group of control signal lines can be reduced by reducing the overlapping area between the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines and the first group of control signal lines, thereby ensuring that the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines and the first group of control signal lines can be approximately the same as the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines.

[0178] In some examples, such as Fig.16A and Fig. 16B As shown, each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a may include a third sub-segment 41-3, a first sub-segment 41-1, and a fourth sub-segment 41-4 connected in sequence. The orthographic projection of the first sub-segment 41-1 on the substrate may overlap with the orthographic projection of the first group of control signal lines 42a on the substrate. The orthographic projection of the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines 41a on the substrate may be a straight line. The minimum line width of the first sub-segment 41-1 may be smaller than the line widths of the third sub-segment 41-3 and the fourth sub-segment 41-4. The line widths of the third sub-segment 41-3 and the fourth sub-segment 41-4 may be substantially the same.
[0179] In some examples, such as Fig.17A and Fig. 17BAs shown, each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b may include a fifth sub-segment 41-5, a second sub-segment 41-2, and a sixth sub-segment 41-6 connected in sequence. The orthographic projection of the second sub-segment 41-2 on the substrate may overlap with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines 42b on the substrate. The orthographic projection of the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines 41b on the substrate may be a straight line. The line widths of the second sub-segment 41-2, the fifth sub-segment 41-5, and the sixth sub-segment 41-6 may be substantially the same. The line width of the second sub-segment 41-2 may be greater than the line width of the first sub-segment 41-1.
[0180] In this example, by reducing the line width of the first sub-segment of the first group of data fan-out lines, the overlapping area between the first group of data fan-out lines and the first group of control signal lines can be reduced, so that the first overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines and the second overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines can be roughly the same, and the parasitic capacitance between the first group of data fan-out lines and the overlapping wirings is reduced, so that the parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping wirings is roughly the same, thereby improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines.
[0181] In other examples, by reducing the line width of the first control line segment of the first group of control signal lines, the overlapping area between the first group of data fan-out lines and the first group of control signal lines can be reduced, so that the first overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines and the second overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines can be approximately the same, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the first group of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines, and making the parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines approximately the same, thereby improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines.
[0182] In other examples, the first overlap area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines can be made substantially the same as the second overlap area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines by reducing the line width of the first sub-line segment of the first group of data fan-out lines and increasing the line width of the second sub-line segment of the second group of data fan-out lines. Alternatively, in other examples, the first overlap area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines can be made substantially the same as the second overlap area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines by reducing the line width of the first control line segment of the first group of control signal lines and increasing the line width of the first control line segment of the second group of control signal lines. Alternatively, in other examples, the first overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines and the second overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines can be made approximately the same by reducing the line width of the first sub-line segment of the first group of data fan-out lines and increasing the line width of the second sub-line segment of the second group of data fan-out lines, and reducing the line width of the first control line segment of the first group of control signal lines and increasing the line width of the first control line segment of the second group of control signal lines.
[0183] Figures 11 to 17B In the illustrated embodiment, the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines is adjusted by adjusting the overlapping area between the data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines, so that the parasitic capacitance between the first group of data fan-out lines and the second group of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines are substantially the same, thereby effectively improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines.
[0184] In other examples, the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out line and the overlapping control signal line can be adjusted by adjusting the film layer where the first control line segment of the control signal line is located and adjusting the overlapping area between the data fan-out line and the overlapping control signal line, so that the parasitic capacitance between the first group of data fan-out lines and the second group of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal line is approximately the same, thereby effectively improving the display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by the uneven overlap of the data fan-out line and the control signal line. For example, the first control line segment of the plurality of control signal lines can be located in the second source-drain metal layer or the third source-drain metal layer; the line width of the second sub-line segment of the second group of data fan-out lines can be greater than the line width of the first sub-line segment of the first group of data fan-out lines; or, the line width of the first control line segment of the second group of control signal lines can be greater than the line width of the first control line segment of the first group of control signal lines.
[0185] This embodiment also provides a display panel, including: a substrate, a plurality of sub-pixels, a plurality of data lines, a plurality of data fan-out lines, and a plurality of control signal lines. The substrate includes: a display area, and a first frame area located on one side of the display area. The plurality of sub-pixels and the plurality of data lines are located in the display area, and the plurality of data lines are connected to the plurality of sub-pixels and are configured to provide data signals to the plurality of sub-pixels. The plurality of data fan-out lines and the plurality of control signal lines are located in the first frame area, and the plurality of data fan-out lines are configured to provide data signals to the plurality of data lines. The plurality of data fan-out lines include: a first group of data fan-out lines and a second group of data fan-out lines, and the plurality of control signal lines include: a first group of control signal lines and a second group of control signal lines. The number of control signal lines in the first group of control signal lines is greater than the number of control signal lines in the second group of control signal lines. Each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines overlaps with the first group of control signal lines in their orthographic projection on the substrate, and each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines overlaps with the second group of control signal lines in their orthographic projection on the substrate. Each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines has a first overlapping area with the first group of control signal lines in an orthographic projection on the substrate, and each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines has a second overlapping area with the second group of control signal lines in an orthographic projection on the substrate, and the ratio of the first overlapping area to the second overlapping area ranges from 0.9 to 1.1.
[0186] This embodiment adjusts the parasitic capacitance between the data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines by adjusting the overlapping area between each data fan-out line and multiple control signal lines, so that the parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the control signal lines is roughly the same, thereby optimizing display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlapping of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines transmitting AC signals.
[0187] In some exemplary embodiments, each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines includes: a first sub-line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first group of control signal lines on the substrate. Each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines includes: a second sub-line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines on the substrate. The line width of the first sub-line segment may be smaller than the line width of the second sub-line segment. In this example, by increasing the line width of the second sub-line segment of the second group of data fan-out lines, the overlapping area between the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines can be increased, so that the second overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the second group of data fan-out lines can be substantially the same as the first overlapping area corresponding to the data fan-out lines in the first group of data fan-out lines, and the parasitic capacitance between the second group of data fan-out lines and the overlapping wiring is increased, so that the parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping wiring is substantially the same, thereby improving the display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by the uneven overlap of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines.
[0188] In some exemplary embodiments, each data fan-out line in the first group of data fan-out lines includes: a first sub-line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first group of control signal lines on the substrate; each data fan-out line in the second group of data fan-out lines includes: a second sub-line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second group of control signal lines on the substrate; the orthographic projection of the first sub-line segment on the substrate may be a straight line, and the orthographic projection of the second sub-line segment on the substrate may be a serpentine line. In this example, by designing a serpentine line for some segments of the second group of data fan-out lines, the overlapping area between the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines can be increased, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance difference between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines.
[0189] In some exemplary embodiments, each control signal line in the first group of control signal lines includes: a first control line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first group of data fan-out lines on the substrate; each control signal line in the second group of control signal lines includes: a first control line segment that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second group of data fan-out lines on the substrate. The line width of the first control line segment of at least one control signal line in the second group of control signal lines may be greater than the line width of the first control line segment of the control signal line in the first group of control signal lines. In this example, by increasing the line width of the first control line segment of the second group of control signal lines, the overlapping area between the second group of data fan-out lines and the second group of control signal lines can be increased, so that the parasitic capacitance between the two groups of data fan-out lines and the overlapping control signal lines is approximately the same, thereby improving display defects such as low grayscale dark stripes caused by uneven overlap of the data fan-out lines and the control signal lines.
