[0134] Next, in conjunction with the drawings, the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope protected by the present disclosure.

[0135] Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms such as the third-person singular form "comprises" and the present participle form "comprising" are construed in an open, inclusive sense, i.e., "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples", etc. are intended to indicate that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics related to the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. The schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described above may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any suitable manner.

[0136] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0137] When describing some embodiments, the expressions "coupled" and "connected" and their derivatives may be used. The term "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. The term "coupled" indicates, for example, that two or more components have direct physical contact or electrical contact. The term "coupled" or "coupling" may also refer to the situation where two or more components do not have direct contact with each other, but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the content herein.

[0138] "At least one of A, B, and C" has the same meaning as "at least one of A, B, or C", and both include the following combinations of A, B, and C: only A, only B, only C, the combination of A and B, the combination of A and C, the combination of B and C, and the combination of A, B, and C.

[0139] "A and / or B" includes the following three combinations: only A, only B, and the combination of A and B.

[0140] As used herein, depending on context, the term "if" is optionally interpreted to mean "when" or "upon" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting". Similarly, depending on context, the phrase "if determined" or "if [stated condition or event] is detected" is optionally interpreted to mean "when determining" or "in response to determining" or "when [stated condition or event] is detected" or "in response to detecting [stated condition or event]".

[0141] The use of "configured to" or "adapted to" in this document means open and inclusive language that does not exclude devices that are configured to or adapted to perform additional tasks or steps.

[0142] Additionally, the use of "based on" means open and inclusive because a process, step, calculation, or other action "based on" one or more of the stated conditions or values can in practice be based on additional conditions or values beyond those stated.

[0143] Taking into account the measurements being discussed and the errors associated with a particular quantity of measurements (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system), as used herein, "about", "approximate", or "substantially" includes the stated value and means within an acceptable deviation for a particular value as determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art. For example, "about" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, ±20%, ±10%, ±5% of the stated value.

[0144] As used herein, "parallel", "perpendicular", "equal" include the stated cases as well as cases similar to the stated cases, where the similar cases are within an acceptable deviation range, and the acceptable deviation range is determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurements being discussed and the errors associated with a particular quantity of measurements (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate parallelism can be, for example, within 5° deviation; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate perpendicularity can also be, for example, within 5° deviation. "Equal" includes absolute equality and approximate equality, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate equality can be, for example, the difference between the two equal values is less than or equal to 5% of either one.

[0145] It should be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being on another layer or substrate, it can be that the layer or element is directly on the other layer or substrate, or there can be an intermediate layer between the layer or element and the other layer or substrate.

[0146] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views and / or plan views as idealized exemplary drawings. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and the area of regions are enlarged for clarity. Thus, variations in the shape relative to the drawings due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances are contemplated. Accordingly, the exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the shapes of the regions shown herein, but include shape deviations resulting from, for example, manufacturing. For example, an etched region shown as rectangular will generally have curved features. Thus, the regions shown in the drawings are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to depict the actual shape of the regions of the device and are not intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.

[0147] In this specification, unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in a general dictionary, should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless expressly defined herein.

[0148] In this disclosure, terms such as "lower", "below", "upper", and "above" are used to explain the relational associations of components shown in the drawings. The terms can be relative concepts and are described based on the directions shown in the drawings, or can also be described based on the order of formation of process steps, but are not limited thereto.

[0149] The term "opposite" means that a first element can be directly or indirectly opposite a second element. In the case where a third element is between the first element and the second element, although still opposite to each other, the first element and the second element can be understood as being indirectly opposite to each other.

[0150] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the transistors employed can be thin film transistors (Thin Film Transistor, abbreviated as TFT), metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (abbreviated as MOS), or other switching devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of this disclosure, thin film transistors are taken as examples for illustration.

[0151] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control electrode of each thin-film transistor employed is the gate of the transistor, the first electrode is one of the source and drain of the thin-film transistor, and the second electrode is the other of the source and drain of the thin-film transistor. Since the source and drain of the thin-film transistor can be symmetric in structure, there may be no difference between the source and drain in structure, that is to say, there may be no difference between the first electrode and the second electrode of the thin-film transistor in the embodiment of the present disclosure in structure. Exemplarily, when the transistor is a P-type transistor, the first electrode of the transistor is the source, and the second electrode is the drain; Exemplarily, when the transistor is an N-type transistor, the first electrode of the transistor is the drain, and the second electrode is the source.

[0152] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the capacitor may be a capacitor device fabricated separately through a process, for example, by fabricating dedicated capacitive electrodes to implement the capacitor device, and each capacitive electrode of the capacitor may be implemented through a metal layer, a semiconductor layer (such as doped polysilicon), etc. The capacitor may also be a parasitic capacitance between transistors, or be implemented through the transistor itself and other devices or circuits, or utilize the parasitic capacitance between the circuits of the circuit itself.

[0153] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, nodes such as the first node, the second node, and the third node do not represent actual existing components, but represent the convergence points of relevant electrical connections in the circuit diagram, that is to say, these nodes are nodes equivalent to the convergence points of relevant electrical connections in the circuit diagram.

[0154] In addition, in the circuit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, N-type transistors are taken as examples for illustration. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited to this. For example, one or more transistors in the circuit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may also be P-type transistors, and only need to connect the electrodes of the selected type of transistor corresponding to the electrodes of the corresponding transistor in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and make the corresponding voltage terminals provide corresponding high voltages or low voltages.

[0155] In the pixel circuit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the "operating voltage" refers to the voltage that can turn on the operating transistor included therein. Correspondingly, the "non-operating voltage" (or "non-turn-on voltage") refers to the voltage that cannot turn on the operating transistor included therein (that is, the transistor is cut off). Depending on factors such as the type (N-type or P-type) of the transistor in the circuit structure of the pixel circuit, the operating voltage may be higher or lower than the non-operating voltage.

[0156] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display device 1000, and the display device 1000 can be any device that displays images, whether in motion (e.g., video) or stationary (e.g., still images), and whether text or not.

[0157] Exemplarily, the display device 1000 can be a television, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a navigator, a wearable device, a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a mixed reality (MR) device, an extended reality (XR) device, a sight, a rangefinder, or any other product or component with a display function.

[0158] For example, as Figure 1 shown, the display device 1000 can be a portable display product; for example, the display device 1000 can be Figure 1 the mobile phone shown. Again, for example, referring to Figure 2 , the display device 1000 can be Figure 2 the VR device shown in

[0159] It should be noted that according to different application scenarios, the display device 1000 can be a flat display device, a curved display device, a foldable display device, etc., and the shape of the display surface of the display device 1000 can be any one of a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, or an irregular shape. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations here.

[0160] Below, taking the above-mentioned display device 1000 as Figure 1 the mobile phone shown as an example, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be schematically described. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and any other display device can also be considered as long as the same technical idea is applied.

[0161] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , the display device 1000 includes a display panel 100. The display panel 100 can, for example, include a display side and a non-display side that are oppositely arranged. The display side is the side of the display panel 100 for display, that is, Figure 3 the upper side in

[0162] The types of the above-mentioned display panel 100 include various types, and can be selected and set according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the above-mentioned display panel 100 may be: an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel, a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED) display panel, a micro light emitting diodes (Micro LED) display panel, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations here.

[0163] Taking the above-mentioned display panel 100 as an OLED display panel as an example below, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be schematically described. However, the implementation manners of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and any other display panel can also be considered as long as the same technical idea is applied.

[0164] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , the above-mentioned display device 1000 may further include a housing 200, a cover plate 300, a circuit board 400, and other electronic accessories. Among them, the display panel 100 and the circuit board 400 may be disposed in the housing 200.

[0165] Exemplarily, as Figure 3 shown, the housing 200 may be a box-shaped structure with an opening, and the cover plate 300 is disposed on one side of the display panel 100 for displaying a picture and is located at the opening of the housing 200. The display panel 100 and the circuit board 400 may be disposed in the housing 200, and the circuit board 400 may be bonded to the display panel 100 at the end of the display panel 100 and bent to the back side of the display panel 100 to reduce the border of the display panel 100 and improve the screen-to-body ratio.

[0166] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the display panel 100 includes a display area A and a peripheral area B located on at least one side of the display area A. For example, the peripheral area B surrounds the display area A, Figure 4 and the example in

[0167] schematically shows the peripheral area B surrounding the display area A. Figure 5 Among them, referring to

[0168] As Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the substrate 10 can be a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate. Among them, the material of the rigid substrate can include glass and / or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA for short). The material of the flexible substrate can include at least one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET for short), polyethylene naphthalate two formic acid glycol ester (PEN for short), and polyimide (PI for short).

[0169] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the driving circuit layer 110 includes a pixel circuit 20 disposed in the display area A. The pixel circuit 20 includes a plurality of transistors T. The transistor T includes a channel 201, a first pole 211, a second pole 212, and a control pole 213. Both the first pole 211 and the second pole 212 are in contact with the channel 201. One of the first pole 211 and the second pole 212 is the source electrode, and the other is the drain electrode. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations here.

[0170] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the light-emitting device layer 120 includes a light-emitting device 30 disposed in the display area A. The light-emitting device 30 includes a first electrode 31, a light-emitting portion 32, and a second electrode 33. The first electrode 31 is coupled to the first pole 211 or the second pole 212 of a transistor T. The second electrode 33 is coupled to the second power supply signal terminal VSS (see Figure 6 ). Figure 5 In Figure 6 , an example is given with the first electrode 31 coupled to the second pole 212 of the transistor T. It should be noted that the second power supply signal received by the second power supply signal terminal VSS (see

[0171] Figure 6

[0172] In the related art, a pixel circuit is connected to a light-emitting device to form a sub-pixel. In this case, since the area occupied by the pixel circuit on the display panel is much larger than the area occupied by the light-emitting device on the display panel, therefore, limited by the size of the pixel circuit, the number of sub-pixels set per unit area of the display panel cannot be further increased, resulting in the display panel being unable to achieve a higher pixels per inch (PPI), and unable to meet the growing demand for resolution of users. Figure 6 and Figure 7Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pixel circuit 20, including a common sub-circuit 270, which is coupled to a data signal terminal DATA, a first power signal terminal VDD and a third node N3. The common sub-circuit 270 is configured to generate a driving current signal in a light emitting phase P10, and transmit the driving current signal to the third node N3.

[0173] Wherein, at least two light emitting devices 30 are coupled to the same common sub-circuit 270, and the plurality of light emitting devices 30 are connected to the same common sub-circuit 270 in one frame period F (see Figure 8 ) Time-sharing light.

[0174] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a frame period F refers to the time period in which the display panel 100 displays an image. A frame period F may include multiple sub-segments P. The sub-segment P includes a light-emitting stage P10. Multiple light-emitting devices 30 coupled to the pixel circuit 20 emit light in the light-emitting stages P10 of the multiple sub-segments P respectively.

[0175] In some examples, the shared subcircuit 270 includes a driving subcircuit 210, the driving subcircuit 210 is used to provide a driving current signal, and the pixel circuit 20 further includes a gating subcircuit 220, the gating subcircuit 220 is coupled to the plurality of light emitting devices 30 to Figure 8 ) Time-sharingly drives multiple light-emitting devices 30 to emit light.

[0176] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the driving subcircuit 210 can be coupled to a first node N1, a second node N2, and a third node N3. The first node N1 is coupled to the data signal terminal DATA, and the second node N2 is coupled to the first power signal terminal VDD. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the driving subcircuit 210 is configured to generate a driving current signal according to the voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3 in the light emitting stage P10, and transmit the driving current signal to the third node N3. It should be noted that the first power signal received by the first power signal terminal VDD can be a signal of the positive electrode of the DC power supply.

[0177] For example, Figure 7 As shown, the driving sub-circuit 210 includes a first transistor T1, a control electrode of the first transistor T1 is coupled to the first node N1, a first electrode is coupled to the second node N2, and a second electrode is coupled to the third node N3. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in the light emitting stage P10, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and generates a driving current signal according to the voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3, and transmits the driving current signal to the third node N3.

[0178] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the gating sub - circuit 220 can be coupled to the third node N3. Among them, the gating sub - circuit 220 is configured to couple multiple light - emitting devices 30. That is, the gating sub - circuit 220 is coupled to multiple light - emitting devices 30. As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, and the gating sub - circuit 220 is configured to transmit the drive current signal from the third node N3 to different light - emitting devices 30 at different light - emitting stages P10, so that multiple light - emitting devices 30 emit light respectively at the light - emitting stages P10 of multiple sub - segments P of a frame period F.

[0179] In this case, multiple light - emitting devices 30 are coupled to the same pixel circuit 20 to form multiple sub - pixels. Among them, the light - emitting devices 30 of multiple sub - pixels can at least share one drive sub - circuit 210 to generate a drive current signal. That is, multiple sub - pixels share one drive sub - circuit 210, which can save the number of drive sub - circuits 210 and compress the area occupied by the pixel circuits 20 of multiple sub - pixels, so that more sub - pixels can be set per unit area of the display panel 100, thereby improving the pixel density and resolution of the display panel 100 to meet the user's demand for increased resolution.

[0180] On this basis, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Fig. 20 , the gating sub - circuit 220 includes a second transistor T2, and the channel 201 (see Fig.39 ) of at least one second transistor T2 in the gating sub - circuit 220 and the channel 201 (see Fig.21 ) of the first transistor T1 are located in different layers and at least partially opposite. That is, the orthographic projection of the channel 201 of at least one second transistor T2 on the substrate 10 coincides at least partially with the orthographic projection of the channel 201 of the first transistor T1 on the substrate 10.

[0181] In this article, the term "opposite" means that the first element can be directly or indirectly opposite to the second element. In the case where a third element is between the first element and the second element, although still opposite to each other, the first element and the second element can be understood as being indirectly opposite to each other.

[0182] In this case, at least one second transistor T2 in the gating sub-circuit 220 is disposed on one side of the first transistor T1 close to or away from the substrate 10, and the second transistor T2 and the first transistor T1 may overlap, so that the total area occupied by the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 can be reduced, which is beneficial to further reducing the area occupied by the pixel circuit 20, so that more sub-pixels can be arranged per unit area of the display panel 100, thereby further increasing the pixel density and resolution of the display panel 100 to meet the user's demand for increased resolution.

[0183] Exemplarily, as Figure 7 shown, the gating sub-circuit 220 includes a plurality of gating branches 221, the gating branches 221 are coupled to the third node N3, the fourth node N4, and the first light emission control signal terminal EM1, and the fourth nodes N4 and the first light emission control signal terminals EM1 coupled by different gating branches 221 are different. The fourth node N4 is configured to be coupled to the light emitting device 30, and the light emitting devices 30 coupled by different fourth nodes N4 are different. That is, the light emitting devices 30 coupled by the plurality of gating branches 221 are different.

[0184] Among them, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the gating branch 221 is configured to transmit the drive current signal of the third node N3 to the fourth node N4 in response to the light emission control signal received at the first light emission control signal terminal EM1 during a light emission stage P10 of a frame period F. That is to say, each gating branch 221 is controlled by a first light emission control signal terminal EM1 to be turned on respectively during the light emission stages P10 of a plurality of sub-segments P of a frame period F, so that the plurality of light emitting devices 30 coupled to the gating sub-circuit 220 emit light respectively during the light emission stages P10 of a plurality of sub-segments P of a frame period F.

[0185] For example, as Figure 7 shown, the gating branch 221 may include a second transistor T2, the control electrode of the second transistor T2 is coupled to the first light emission control signal terminal EM1, the first electrode is coupled to the third node N3, and the second electrode is coupled to the fourth node N4, and the circuit structure is simple and easy to fabricate.

[0186] In some examples, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the gating sub-circuit 220 includes two gating branches 221, the two gating branches 221 are respectively coupled to two first light emission control signal terminals EM1, and the two first light emission control signal terminals EM1 are respectively a first sub-light emission control signal terminal EM1-1 and a second sub-light emission control signal terminal EM1-2.

[0187] At this time, the two gating branches 221 are respectively controlled by the first sub-light-emitting control signal terminal EM1-1 and the second sub-light-emitting control signal terminal EM1-2 to be turned on respectively during the light-emitting stage P10 of multiple sub-segments P in one frame period F, so that the two light-emitting devices 30 emit light respectively during the light-emitting stage P10 of multiple sub-segments P in one frame period F.

[0188] In some other examples, such as Fig. 9 and Fig.10 shown, the gating sub-circuit 220 includes three gating branches 221, the three gating branches 221 are respectively coupled to three first light-emitting control signal terminals EM1, and the three first light-emitting control signal terminals EM1 are respectively the first sub-light-emitting control signal terminal EM1-1, the second sub-light-emitting control signal terminal EM1-2, and the third sub-light-emitting control signal terminal EM1-3.

[0189] At this time, the three gating branches 221 are respectively controlled by the first sub-light-emitting control signal terminal EM1-1, the second sub-light-emitting control signal terminal EM1-2, and the third sub-light-emitting control signal terminal EM1-3 to be turned on respectively during the light-emitting stage P10 of multiple sub-segments P in one frame period F, so that the three light-emitting devices 30 emit light respectively during the light-emitting stage P10 of multiple sub-segments P in one frame period F.

[0190] Hereinafter, taking the gating sub-circuit 220 including two gating branches 221 as an example, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be schematically described. However, the implementation manners of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and it is also possible to consider that the gating sub-circuit 220 includes more gating branches 221, as long as the same technical idea is applied.

[0191] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 , the sub-segment P further includes a reset stage P20, and the reset stage P20 is located before the light-emitting stage P10.

[0192] At this time, as Figure 6 and Fig.11 shown, the common sub-circuit 270 may further include a reset sub-circuit 230. The reset sub-circuit 230 is coupled to the reset signal terminal RESET and the initialization signal terminal VINIT, and is also coupled to the third node N3.

[0193] Among them, referring to Fig.11 and Fig.13A , the reset sub-circuit 230 is configured to, during the reset stage P20, in response to the reset signal received at the reset signal terminal RESET, transmit the initialization signal received at the initialization signal terminal VINIT to the third node N3 to reset the voltage of the third node N3, eliminate the influence of the voltage of the previous frame period F, and improve the display effect.

[0194] Exemplarily, such as Fig.11 and Fig.13A As shown in Fig.13A , the reset sub - circuit 230 is coupled to the reset signal terminal RESET, the initialization signal terminal VINIT, and the third node N3. For example, the reset sub - circuit 230 includes a third transistor T3. The control electrode of the third transistor T3 is coupled to the reset signal terminal RESET, the first electrode is coupled to the initialization signal terminal VINIT, and the second electrode is coupled to the third node N3. The circuit structure is simple and convenient for fabrication.

[0195] In this case, the light - emitting devices 30 of multiple sub - pixels can at least share one reset sub - circuit 230 to reset the third node N3. That is, multiple sub - pixels share one reset sub - circuit 230, which can save the number of reset sub - circuits 230 and compress the area occupied by the pixel circuits 20 of multiple sub - pixels. Thus, more sub - pixels can be set per unit area of the display panel 100, so as to increase the pixel density and resolution of the display panel 100 and meet the user's demand for increased resolution.

[0196] On this basis, referring to Figure 5 、 Fig.11 and Fig.13A , the gating sub - circuit 220 can also be configured to transmit the initialization signal from the third node N3 to the fourth node N4 during the reset stage P20 to reset the first electrode 31 of the light - emitting device 30.

[0197] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 5 、 Fig.11 and Fig.13A , the gating sub - circuit 220 includes two gating branches 221. The two gating branches 221 can be respectively turned on during the reset stage P20 of multiple sub - segments P of a frame period F, so that the first electrodes 31 of two light - emitting devices 30 are respectively reset during the reset stage P20 of multiple sub - segments P of a frame period F. In this way, the interval between the reset stage P20 and the light - emitting stage P10 of each light - emitting device 30 is short, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of the brightness of the light - emitting device 30.

[0198] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 5 、 Fig.11 and Fig. 13B , the gating sub - circuit 220 includes two gating branches 221. The two gating branches 221 can be simultaneously turned on during the same reset stage P20 of a frame period F, so that the first electrodes 31 of two light - emitting devices 30 are simultaneously reset during the same reset stage P20 of a frame period F. In this way, each light - emitting device 30 is reset during the same reset stage P20, which is beneficial to simplifying the circuit design.

[0199] In some other embodiments, as shown in Fig.12As shown, the pixel circuit 20 may further include a reset sub-circuit 230. The reset sub-circuit 230 is coupled to a reset signal terminal RESET and an initialization signal terminal VINIT, and is also coupled to a fourth node N4.

[0200] Among them, referring to Fig.12 and Fig.14 , the reset sub-circuit 230 is configured to, in the reset phase P20, in response to the reset signal received at the reset signal terminal RESET, transmit the initialization signal received at the initialization signal terminal VINIT to the fourth node N4 to reset the voltage of the fourth node N4, eliminate the influence of the voltage of the previous frame period F, and improve the display effect.

[0201] Exemplarily, as Fig.12 and Fig.14 shown, the reset sub-circuit 230 is coupled to the reset signal terminal RESET, the initialization signal terminal VINIT, and the fourth node N4. For example, two reset sub-circuits 230 are respectively coupled to the fourth nodes N4 of two gating branches 221, and each reset sub-circuit 230 includes a third transistor T3. The control electrode of the third transistor T3 is coupled to the reset signal terminal RESET, the first electrode is coupled to the initialization signal terminal VINIT, and the second electrode is coupled to the fourth node N4. The circuit structure is simple and convenient for preparation.

[0202] Among them, as Fig.12 and Fig.14 shown, two reset sub-circuits 230 are respectively coupled to two reset signal terminals RESET and two initialization signal terminals VINIT, and the two reset signal terminals RESET are respectively a first sub-reset signal terminal RESET1-1 and a second sub-reset signal terminal RESET1-2, and the two initialization signal terminals VINIT are respectively a first sub-initialization signal terminal VINIT1-1 and a second sub-initialization signal terminal VINIT1-2.

[0203] At this time, the two reset sub-circuits 230 are respectively controlled by the first sub-reset signal terminal RESET1-1 and the second sub-reset signal terminal RESET1-2 to be turned on respectively in the reset phase P20 of multiple sub-segments P of a frame period F, so that the first electrodes 31 of the two light-emitting devices 30 are respectively reset in the reset phase P20 of multiple sub-segments P of a frame period F.

[0204] The signals transmitted by the above first sub-reset signal terminal RESET1-1 and second sub-reset signal terminal RESET1-2 may be the same or different. For example, the first sub-reset signal terminal RESET1-1 and the second sub-reset signal terminal RESET1-2 are coupled to the same signal line.

[0205] The signals transmitted by the first sub-initialization signal terminal VINIT1-1 and the second sub-initialization signal terminal VINIT1-2 can be the same or different. For example, the first sub-initialization signal terminal VINIT1-1 and the second sub-initialization signal terminal VINIT1-2 are coupled to the same signal line.

[0206] Taking the reset sub-circuit 230 coupled to the reset signal terminal RESET, the initialization signal terminal VINIT, and the third node N3 as an example, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be schematically described, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0207] On this basis, referring to Fig.21 , the channel 201 of the third transistor T3 and the channel 201 of the first transistor T1 can be located on the same layer, that is, the channel 201 of the first transistor T1 and the channel 201 of the third transistor T3 can be fabricated in the same process step to simplify the process flow and reduce the fabrication cost.

[0208] In some embodiments, referring to Fig.11 , Fig. 20 , Fig.21 and Fig.39 , the channel 201 of at least one second transistor T2 in the gating sub-circuit 220 and the channel 201 of the third transistor T3 may not be opposite, or may be at least partially opposite.

[0209] Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the channel 201 of at least one second transistor T2 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the channel 201 of the third transistor T3 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlap.

[0210] In this case, at least one second transistor T2 in the gating sub-circuit 220 is disposed on one side of the third transistor T3 close to or away from the substrate 10, and the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 can overlap, which can reduce the total area occupied by the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3, thereby facilitating further reduction of the area occupied by the pixel circuit 20, so that more sub-pixels can be arranged per unit area of the display panel 100, to further improve the pixel density and resolution of the display panel 100 and meet the user's demand for increased resolution.

[0211] For example, as Fig.11 , Fig.21 and Fig.39As shown, the gating sub-circuit 220 includes two gating branches 221, and each gating branch 221 includes a second transistor T2. Among the two second transistors T2 included in the two gating branches 221, the channel 201 of one second transistor T2 is at least partially opposite to the channel 201 of the first transistor T1, and the channel 201 of the other second transistor T2 is at least partially opposite to the channel 201 of the third transistor T3.

[0212] In this case, one second transistor T2 and the first transistor T1 can overlap, and the other second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 can overlap, which can further reduce the total area occupied by the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3, thereby facilitating further reduction of the area occupied by the pixel circuit 20, so that more sub-pixels can be arranged per unit area of the display panel 100 to further improve the pixel density and resolution of the display panel 100.

[0213] It should be understood that referring to Figure 8 , the sub-segment P further includes a data writing stage P30, and the data writing stage P30 is located between the reset stage P20 and the light emitting stage P10 to write a data signal.

[0214] At this time, as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.11 shown, the common sub-circuit 270 may further include a data writing sub-circuit 240, and the data writing sub-circuit 240 is coupled to the first scan signal terminal G1, the data signal terminal DATA, and the first node N1.

[0215] Among them, referring to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig.11 , the data writing sub-circuit 240 is configured to transmit the data signal received at the data signal terminal DATA to the first node N1 in response to the first scan signal received at the first scan signal terminal G1 during the data writing stage P30.

[0216] Exemplarily, as Figure 7 and Fig.11 shown, the data writing sub-circuit 240 includes a fourth transistor T4. The control electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is coupled to the first scan signal terminal G1, the first electrode is coupled to the data signal terminal DATA, and the second electrode is coupled to the first node N1. The circuit structure is simple and convenient for preparation.

[0217] In this case, the light-emitting devices 30 of multiple sub-pixels can at least share one data writing sub-circuit 240 to write a data signal to the first node N1. That is, multiple sub-pixels share one data writing sub-circuit 240, which can save the number of data writing sub-circuits 240 and compress the area occupied by the pixel circuits 20 of multiple sub-pixels, so that more sub-pixels can be arranged per unit area of the display panel 100, thereby improving the pixel density and resolution of the display panel 100.

[0218] On this basis, referring to Fig.21 , the channel 201 of the fourth transistor T4 and the channel 201 of the first transistor T1 can be located in the same layer, that is, the channel 201 of the fourth transistor T4 and the channel 201 of the first transistor T1 can be fabricated in the same process step to simplify the process flow and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0219] In addition, as Fig.21 shown, along the first direction X, the channel 201 of the third transistor T3 and the channel 201 of the fourth transistor T4 can be located on opposite sides of the channel 201 of the first transistor T1. In this way, the circuit traces are more regular and it is beneficial to reduce the size of the pixel circuit 20 in the second direction Y. It should be noted that the first direction X intersects the second direction Y. For example, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0220] At the same time, the channel 201 of the third transistor T3 can extend along the first direction X, and the multiple light-emitting devices 30 coupled to the same pixel circuit 20 can be arranged along the first direction X. With this arrangement, in the pixel circuit 20 and the multiple light-emitting devices 30 coupled thereto, the maximum distance between the multiple light-emitting devices 30 and the maximum size of the pixel circuit 20 are both in the first direction X, which is beneficial to reducing the area occupied by multiple sub-pixels including the pixel circuit 20 and the multiple light-emitting devices 30 coupled thereto, so that more sub-pixels can be arranged per unit area of the display panel 100 to further improve the pixel density and resolution of the display panel 100.

[0221] In some embodiments, referring to Fig.13A , the sub-phase P further includes a compensation phase P40, and the compensation phase P40 is located between the data writing phase P30 and the reset phase P20.

[0222] At this time, as Figure 7 , Fig.11 and Fig.13AAs shown, the driving sub-circuit 210 is further configured to, during the compensation stage P40, under the control of the voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3, transfer the voltage of the second node N2 to the third node N3 until the voltage difference between the first node N1 and the third node N3 is equal to the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 included in the driving sub-circuit 210, thereby extracting the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 included in the driving sub-circuit 210. In this case, during the data writing stage P30, the voltage difference between the first node N1 and the third node N3 compensates for this threshold voltage to eliminate the interference caused by this threshold voltage during the light emitting stage P10.

[0223] On this basis, as Figure 7 , Fig.11 and Fig.13A shown, the common sub-circuit 270 may further include a first energy storage sub-circuit 250, and the first energy storage sub-circuit 250 is coupled to the first node N1 and the third node N3. Moreover, the first energy storage sub-circuit 250 is configured to, during the light emitting stage P10, raise or lower the voltage of the first node N1 according to the change in the voltage of the third node N3 to maintain the voltage difference between the first node N1 and the third node N3 unchanged, playing a role in voltage stabilization.

[0224] Exemplarily, as Figure 7 and Fig.11 shown, the first energy storage sub-circuit 250 includes a first capacitor C1. The first plate of the first capacitor C1 is coupled to the first node N1, and the second plate of the first capacitor C1 is coupled to the third node N3, with a simple structure and being easy to fabricate.

[0225] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 , Fig.11 and Fig.13A , the data writing sub-circuit 240 is further configured to, during the compensation stage P40, in response to the first scan signal received at the first scan signal terminal G1, transfer the data signal received at the data signal terminal DATA to the first node N1. At this time, the magnitude of the driving current is calculated according to the data signals' voltages during the compensation stage P40 and the data writing stage P30.

[0226] It should be noted that the voltage of the data signal during the compensation stage P40 is different from the voltage of the data signal during the data writing stage P30; for example, the voltage of the data signal during the data writing stage P30 is greater than the voltage of the data signal during the compensation stage P40.

[0227] In addition, the data writing sub-circuit 240 may also be configured to, during the reset stage P20, in response to the first scan signal received at the first scan signal terminal G1, transfer the data signal received at the data signal terminal DATA to the first node N1 to reset the voltage of the first node N1.

[0228] In some other embodiments, referring to Fig.15A 、 Fig. 15B and Fig.16 , the common sub - circuit 270 may further include a first voltage sub - circuit 260, and the first voltage sub - circuit 260 is coupled to the second scan signal terminal G2, the first voltage signal terminal Vref, and the first node N1.

[0229] Among them, as Fig.15A 、 Fig. 15B and Fig.16 show, the first voltage sub - circuit 260 is configured to, in the compensation stage P40, in response to the second scan signal received at the second scan signal terminal G2, transmit the first voltage signal received at the first voltage signal terminal Vref to the first node N1. At this time, the magnitude of the drive current is calculated according to the first voltage signal in the compensation stage P40 and the voltage of the data signal in the data writing stage P30. It should be noted that the first voltage signal received at the first voltage signal terminal Vref may be a constant reference voltage, and this reference voltage is less than the voltage of the data signal in the data writing stage P30.

[0230] In addition, the first voltage sub - circuit 260 may further be configured to, in the reset stage P20, in response to the second scan signal received at the second scan signal terminal G2, transmit the first voltage signal received at the first voltage signal terminal Vref to the first node N1 to reset the voltage of the first node N1.

[0231] Exemplarily, as Fig.15A and Fig. 15B show, the first voltage sub - circuit 260 may, for example, include a fifth transistor T5. The control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to the second scan signal terminal G2, the first electrode is coupled to the first voltage signal terminal Vref, and the second electrode is coupled to the first node N1. The circuit structure is simple and convenient for preparation.

[0232] On this basis, referring to Fig. 20 、 Fig.21 and Fig.39 , the channel 201 of the fifth transistor T5 and the channel 201 of the fourth transistor T4 may, for example, be located in different layers and at least partially opposite. That is, the positive projection of the channel 201 of the fifth transistor T5 on the substrate 10 coincides at least partially with the positive projection of the channel 201 of the fourth transistor T4 on the substrate 10.

[0233] In this case, the fifth transistor T5 is disposed on one side of the fourth transistor T4 close to or away from the substrate 10. The fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 may overlap, so that the total area occupied by the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 can be reduced, which is beneficial to further reducing the area occupied by the pixel circuit 20, so that more sub-pixels can be arranged per unit area of the display panel 100, thereby further improving the pixel density and resolution of the display panel 100 to meet the user's demand for increased resolution.

[0234] In addition, as Fig.39 shown, the channel 201 of the fifth transistor T5 and the channel 201 of the second transistor T2 may be located in the same layer, that is, the channel 201 of the fifth transistor T5 and the channel 201 of the second transistor T2 can be fabricated in the same process step to simplify the process flow and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0235] In some embodiments, referring to Fig.17 and Fig.18 , the common sub-circuit 270 further includes a light emission control sub-circuit 280. The light emission control sub-circuit 280 is coupled to the first power signal terminal VDD, the second light emission control signal terminal EM2, and the second node N2.

[0236] Wherein, referring to Fig.18 and Fig.19 , the light emission control sub-circuit 280 is configured to, in the compensation phase P40 and the light emission phase P10, in response to the second light emission control signal received at the second light emission control signal terminal EM2, transmit the first power signal received at the first power signal terminal VDD to the second node N2.

[0237] Moreover, the light emission control sub-circuit 280 can also be configured to be cut off in response to the second light emission control signal received at the second light emission control signal terminal EM2 in the reset phase P20, so as to avoid the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 being turned on in the reset phase P20, resulting in the first power signal terminal VDD being connected to the initialization signal terminal VINIT, causing power consumption loss.

[0238] Exemplarily, as Fig.17 and Fig.18 shown, the light emission control sub-circuit 280 includes a sixth transistor T6. The control electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the second light emission control signal terminal EM2, the first electrode is coupled to the first power signal terminal VDD, and the second electrode is coupled to the second node N2. The circuit structure is simple and convenient for fabrication.

[0239] Next, taking the pixel circuit 20 shown in Fig. 15B as an example, in combination with the driving timing of Fig.16 , each stage within a sub-segment P will be exemplarily described. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0240] During the reset phase P20, the first scan signal received at the first scan signal terminal G1 is a non-operating voltage (low voltage), and the fourth transistor T4 is turned off. The second scan signal received at the second scan signal terminal G2 is an operating voltage (high voltage), and the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, transmitting the first voltage signal received at the first voltage signal terminal Vref to the first node N1 to reset the voltage of the first node N1.

[0241] In addition, the reset signal received at the reset signal terminal RESET is an operating voltage (high voltage), and the third transistor T3 is turned on, transmitting the initialization signal received at the initialization signal terminal VINIT to the third node N3 to reset the voltage of the third node N3. Also, the first light emission control signal received at the first light emission control signal terminal EM1 is an operating voltage (high voltage), and the second transistor T2 is turned on to reset the fourth node N4, that is, the first electrode 31 of the light emitting device 30 (see Figure 5 ). At this time, under the action of the voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3, the first transistor T1 is turned on.

[0242] During the compensation phase P40, the first scan signal received at the first scan signal terminal G1 is a non-operating voltage (low voltage), and the fourth transistor T4 is turned off. The second scan signal received at the second scan signal terminal G2 is an operating voltage (high voltage), and the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, transmitting the first voltage signal received at the first voltage signal terminal Vref to the first node N1 to maintain the voltage of the first node N1.

[0243] In addition, the reset signal received at the reset signal terminal RESET is a non-operating voltage (low voltage), and the third transistor T3 is turned off. Also, the first light emission control signal received at the first light emission control signal terminal EM1 is a non-operating voltage (low voltage), and the second transistor T2 is turned off. At this time, under the control of the voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3, the voltage of the second node N2 is transmitted to the third node N3 until the voltage difference between the first node N1 and the third node N3 is equal to the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1, thereby extracting the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1.

[0244] During the data writing phase P30, the first scan signal received at the first scan signal terminal G1 is an operating voltage (high voltage), and the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, transmitting the data signal received at the data signal terminal DATA to the first node N1. The second scan signal received at the second scan signal terminal G2 is a non-operating voltage (low voltage), and the fifth transistor T5 is turned off. At this time, the data signal is written into the first node N1, and the first transistor T1 is turned on.

[0245] In addition, the reset signal received at the reset signal terminal RESET is a non-operating voltage (low voltage), and the third transistor T3 is turned off. Also, the first light emission control signal received at the first light emission control signal terminal EM1 is a non-operating voltage (low voltage), and the second transistor T2 is turned off.

[0246] In the light emission stage P10, the first scan signal received at the first scan signal terminal G1 is a non-operating voltage (low voltage), and the fourth transistor T4 is turned off. The second scan signal received at the second scan signal terminal G2 is a non-operating voltage (low voltage), and the fifth transistor T5 is turned off.

[0247] In addition, the reset signal received at the reset signal terminal RESET is a non-operating voltage (low voltage), and the third transistor T3 is turned off. Also, the first light emission control signal received at the first light emission control signal terminal EM1 is an operating voltage (high voltage), and the second transistor T2 is turned on. At this time, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and a drive current signal is generated according to the voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3, and the drive current signal is transmitted to the third node N3; also, the second transistor T2 is turned on, and the drive current signal is transmitted to the light emitting device 30 to drive the corresponding light emitting device 30 to emit light.

[0248] In the display panel 100 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the driving circuit layer 110 includes a plurality of pixel circuits 20 of any of the above embodiments. The plurality of pixel circuits 20 can be arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns, for example. Each column includes at least two pixel circuits 20 arranged along the first direction X, and each row includes at least two pixel circuits 20 arranged along the second direction Y. On this basis, in the first direction X and / or the second direction Y, any two adjacent pixel circuits 20 can be symmetrically arranged, so that the circuit design is more regular, the structure is more compact, and the space utilization rate is high.

[0249] It should be noted that the first direction X is the column direction in which the plurality of pixel circuits 20 are arranged, and the second direction Y is the row direction in which the plurality of pixel circuits 20 are arranged.

[0250] In addition, refer to Figure 4 , the plurality of light emitting devices 30 are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns. Each column includes at least two light emitting devices 30 arranged along the first direction X, and each row includes at least two light emitting devices 30 arranged along the second direction Y. Also, the plurality of light emitting devices 30 coupled to the same gating sub-circuit 220 are located in the same column.

[0251] Hereinafter, taking the arrangement of the plurality of pixel circuits 20 and the plurality of light emitting devices 30 in multiple rows and multiple columns as an example, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be exemplarily described, but the implementation manners of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0252] Among them, refer to Fig.42A , the multi-column light-emitting device 30 includes a first type of light-emitting device column 311 and a second type of light-emitting device column 312. At least two light-emitting devices 30 in the first type of light-emitting device column 311 have different light-emitting colors. The light-emitting devices 30 in the second type of light-emitting device column 312 have the same light-emitting color.

The second type of light-emitting device column 312 includes a plurality of blue light-emitting devices B.

[0255] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 , the driving circuit layer 110 includes a first sub-driving layer 111 and a second sub-driving layer 112, and the second sub-driving layer 112 is disposed between the first sub-driving layer 111 and the light-emitting device layer 120.

[0256] Among them, the first sub-driving layer 111 includes a first transistor T1, and the second sub-driving layer 112 includes a second transistor T2. In this case, the second transistor T2 is closer to the light-emitting device 30, the distance between the second transistor T2 and the light-emitting device 30 is smaller, and in the process of connecting the second transistor T2 and the light-emitting device 30, the depth of the via hole to be etched is shallower, the process difficulty is low, and it is beneficial to improve the production yield.

[0257] At this time, refer to Figure 5 and Fig.15A , when the pixel circuit 20 further includes a third transistor T3, a fourth transistor T4, and a fifth transistor T5, the first sub-driving layer 111 further includes a third transistor T3 and a fourth transistor T4, and the second sub-driving layer 112 further includes a fifth transistor T5.

[0258] It should be noted that the difference between the number of transistors T included in the first sub-driving layer 111 and the number of transistors T included in the second sub-driving layer 112 can be 0 or 1, for example, so that the channel 201 of most transistors T can share a part of the area with the channel 201 of at least one transistor T, thereby improving the space utilization rate and reducing the occupied area of the pixel circuit 20.

[0259] On this basis, refer to Figure 5 and Fig.26, the display panel 100 may further include a first source-drain conductive layer SD1, which is disposed between the first sub-driving layer 111 and the second sub-driving layer 112. Moreover, the first source-drain conductive layer SD1 includes data lines DL, and the data lines DL extend along the first direction X and are configured to transmit data signals. One data line DL may be coupled to the data signal terminal DATA of a column of pixel circuits 20 (see Fig. 15B ).

[0260] In this case, the distance between the data line DL and the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting device 30 is relatively far, and the second sub-driving layer 112 is also disposed between the data line DL and the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting device 30, which is beneficial to reducing the influence of the voltage jump of the data line DL on the first electrode 31, thereby reducing the crosstalk between signals and improving the display effect.

[0261] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , Fig. 27 and Fig.33 , the display panel 100 includes an initialization signal line VIL and a first power supply line VDL. The initialization signal line VIL is coupled to the initialization signal terminal VINIT, and the first power supply line VDL is coupled to the first power supply signal terminal VDD (see Fig.15A ).

[0262] In some examples, as shown in Figure 4 , Fig. 27 and Fig.33 , the initialization signal line VIL includes a plurality of first sub-lines VIL1 and a plurality of second sub-lines VIL2. The second sub-lines VIL2 extend along the second direction Y and are coupled to the initialization signal terminals VINIT of a row of pixel circuits 20 (see Fig.15A ) to transmit the initialization signal.

[0263] In addition, the first sub-lines VIL1 extend along the first direction X, and one first sub-line VIL1 is connected to a plurality of second sub-lines VIL2, and one second sub-line VIL2 is connected to a plurality of first sub-lines VIL1 to form a mesh structure. In this case, the initialization signal line VIL forms a mesh structure, which can reduce the voltage drop of the initialization signal and the difference in the initialization signals received by different pixel circuits 20, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel 100.

[0264] In some examples, as shown in Figure 4 , Fig. 27 and Fig.33 , the first power supply line VDL includes a plurality of third sub-lines VDL1 and a plurality of fourth sub-lines VDL2. The fourth sub-lines VDL2 extend along the second direction Y and are coupled to the first power supply signal terminals VDD of a row of pixel circuits 20 (see Fig.15A ) to transmit the first power supply signal.

[0265] In addition, the third sub-line VDL1 extends along the first direction X, and one third sub-line VDL1 is connected to multiple fourth sub-lines VDL2, and one fourth sub-line VDL2 is connected to multiple third sub-lines VDL1 to form a mesh structure. In this case, the first power supply line VDL forms a mesh structure, which can reduce the voltage drop of the first power signal and reduce the difference in the first power signal received by different pixel circuits 20, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel 100.

[0266] As Fig. 27 and Fig.33 shown, when the initialization signal line VIL includes the first sub-line VIL1 and the second sub-line VIL2, and the first power supply line VDL includes the third sub-line VDL1 and the fourth sub-line VDL2, the third sub-line VDL1 and the first sub-line VIL1 can be staggeredly arranged, and the fourth sub-line VDL2 and the second sub-line VIL2 can be staggeredly arranged. With this arrangement, the initialization signal line VIL and the first power supply line VDL are staggeredly arranged, which can reduce the risk of short circuit between the initialization signal line VIL and the first power supply line VDL caused by electrostatic breakdown and improve the product yield.

[0267] It should be noted that the staggered arrangement of the third sub-line VDL1 and the first sub-line VIL1 means that there is no overlapping part between the third sub-line VDL1 and the first sub-line VIL1. The staggered arrangement of the fourth sub-line VDL2 and the second sub-line VIL2 means that there is no overlapping part between the fourth sub-line VDL2 and the second sub-line VIL2.

[0268] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , the display panel 100 includes 10 conductive layers, and the driving circuit layer 110 includes 8 conductive layers. For example, the driving circuit layer 110 includes a first gate conductive layer GT1, a second gate conductive layer GT2, a third gate conductive layer GT3, a first source-drain conductive layer SD1, a fourth gate conductive layer GT4, a fifth gate conductive layer GT5, a sixth gate conductive layer GT6, and a second source-drain conductive layer SD2. The light-emitting device layer 120 includes a first electrode layer 310 and a second electrode layer 330.

[0269] In other embodiments, the display panel 100 includes 9 conductive layers, and the driving circuit layer 110 includes 7 conductive layers. For example, the driving circuit layer 110 includes a first gate conductive layer GT1, a second gate conductive layer GT2, a third gate conductive layer GT3, a first source-drain conductive layer SD1, a fourth gate conductive layer GT4, and a second source-drain conductive layer SD2, and further includes any one of a fifth gate conductive layer GT5 and a sixth gate conductive layer GT6. The light-emitting device layer 120 includes a first electrode layer 310 and a second electrode layer 330.

[0270] In still other embodiments, the display panel 100 includes eight conductive layers, and the driving circuit layer 110 includes six conductive layers. For example, the driving circuit layer 110 includes a first gate conductive layer GT1, a second gate conductive layer GT2, a first source-drain conductive layer SD1, a fourth gate conductive layer GT4, and a second source-drain conductive layer SD2, and further includes any one of a fifth gate conductive layer GT5 and a sixth gate conductive layer GT6. The light-emitting device layer 120 includes a first electrode layer 310 and a second electrode layer 330.

[0271] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 、 Fig.36 and Fig.37 , the first sub-driving layer 111 includes a first semiconductor layer ACT1, a first gate conductive layer GT1, a second gate conductive layer GT2, and a third gate conductive layer GT3.

[0272] Moreover, the first gate conductive layer GT1 is disposed on a side of the first semiconductor layer ACT1 close to the light-emitting device layer 120, the second gate conductive layer GT2 is disposed on a side of the first gate conductive layer GT1 close to the light-emitting device layer 120, and the third gate conductive layer GT3 is disposed on a side of the second gate conductive layer GT2 close to the light-emitting device layer 120.

[0273] Wherein, the first sub-driving layer 111 may further include multiple insulating layers. The multiple insulating layers may, for example, include a first gate insulating layer GI1, a second gate insulating layer GI2, a third gate insulating layer GI3, and a first interlayer insulating layer ILD1. The first gate insulating layer GI1 is disposed between the first semiconductor layer ACT1 and the first gate conductive layer GT1, the second gate insulating layer GI2 is disposed between the first gate conductive layer GT1 and the second gate conductive layer GT2, the third gate insulating layer GI3 is disposed between the second gate conductive layer GT2 and the third gate conductive layer GT3, and the first interlayer insulating layer ILD1 is disposed between the third gate conductive layer GT3 and the first source-drain conductive layer SD1.

[0274] It should be noted that the thickness of the first interlayer insulating layer ILD1 is 150 nm to 300 nm; for example, the thickness of the first interlayer insulating layer ILD1 is any one of 150 nm, 160 nm, 170 nm, 180 nm, 190 nm, 200 nm, 210 nm, 220 nm, 230 nm, 240 nm, 250 nm, 260 nm, 270 nm, 280 nm, 290 nm, and 300 nm.

[0275] In some examples, such as Fig.21As shown, the first semiconductor layer ACT1 includes a first channel portion 2011 and a first conductive portion 2012. Among them, the first channel portion 2011 may include the channel 201 of the transistor T of the first sub-driving layer 111. For example, the first channel portion 2011 includes the channels 201 of the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4. In addition, two first conductive portions 2012 may be respectively disposed on opposite sides of a first channel portion 2011 as the first pole 211 and the second pole 212 of the transistor T to be coupled to other electronic components (such as capacitors, transistors, and light-emitting devices).

[0276] It should be noted that the material of the first semiconductor layer ACT1 includes oxides and / or low-temperature polysilicon. For example, the material of the first semiconductor layer ACT1 includes low-temperature polysilicon.

[0277] In some examples, as Fig. 22 、 Fig.24 、 Fig.28 and Fig.32 shown, the first gate conductive layer GT1 includes a reset signal line RL, a first scan signal line GL1, and a first conductive block 40. The reset signal line RL and the first scan signal line GL1 extend along the second direction Y, and the first conductive block 40 may be located between the reset signal line RL and the first scan signal line GL1.

[0278] Among them, in combination with Fig.36 and Fig.37 , the first conductive block 40 may serve as the first electrode plate of the first capacitor C1, and the reset signal line RL, the first scan signal line GL1, and the first conductive block 40 respectively overlap with the first channel portion 2011 of the first semiconductor layer ACT1 to respectively form the control electrodes of the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, and the first transistor T1.

[0279] In addition, as Fig.38B shown, two reset signal lines RL may be located between two first scan signal lines GL1. On this basis, the second sub-line VIL2 may be located between two adjacent reset signal lines RL. Arranged in this way, the second sub-line VIL2 is also staggered from both the reset signal line RL and the first scan signal line GL1, which can reduce the risk of short circuit between the second sub-line VIL2 and the reset signal line RL and the first scan signal line GL1, reduce signal interference, and the circuit structure is compact, which is beneficial to improving the pixel density.

[0280] And, as Fig.38BAs shown, the fourth sub-line VDL2 is located between the reset signal line RL and the first scan signal line GL1. Set in this way, the fourth sub-line VDL2 is also staggeredly arranged with both the reset signal line RL and the first scan signal line GL1, which can reduce the risk of short circuit between the fourth sub-line VDL2 and the reset signal line RL and the first scan signal line GL1, reduce interference between signals, and the circuit structure is compact, which is beneficial to improving the pixel density.

[0281] In some examples, such as Fig.23 , Fig.24 , Fig.29 and Fig.32 shown, the second gate conductive layer GT2 includes a second conductive block 50, and the second conductive block 50 is at least partially opposite to the first conductive block 40 to form a first capacitor C1. Among them, in combination with Fig.36 and Fig.37 , the second conductive block 50 can be used as the second electrode plate of the first capacitor C1, and the geometric centers of the second conductive block 50 and the first conductive block 40 do not coincide, so that a part of the first conductive block 40 is exposed to facilitate the coupling of the first conductive block 40 with the corresponding circuit structure (such as the fourth transistor T4). For example, Fig.24 shows that the second conductive block 50 exposes the edge area of a corner of the first conductive block 40; or, Fig.32 shows that the second conductive block 50 exposes the edge area of a side of the first conductive block 40. In addition, the second sub-line VIL2 can be located in the second gate conductive layer GT2.

[0282] In this case, the distances between the second sub-line VIL2 and the first sub-line VIL1, and between the second sub-line VIL2 and the first pole 211 of the third transistor T3 are both small. During the process of connecting the second sub-line VIL2 and the first sub-line VIL1, and the second sub-line VIL2 and the first pole 211 of the third transistor T3, the depth of the vias to be etched is relatively shallow, the process difficulty is low, which is beneficial to improving the production yield.

[0283] On this basis, referring to Fig.25 and Fig.30 , the third gate conductive layer GT3 can be provided with a first power supply line VDL, or a third conductive block 60 can be provided to increase the capacitance of the first energy storage sub-circuit 250.

[0284] Exemplarily, such as Fig.23 , Fig.25 , Fig.26 and Fig. 27As shown, the first sub-line VIL1 can be located in the first source-drain conductive layer SD1, and the second sub-line VIL2 can be located in the second gate conductive layer GT2. The first power supply line VDL can be located in the third gate conductive layer GT3, that is, the third sub-line VDL1 and the fourth sub-line VDL2 are located in the third gate conductive layer GT3. In this case, the initialization signal line VIL and the first power supply line VDL are distributed in three conductive layers, namely the first source-drain conductive layer SD1, the second gate conductive layer GT, and the third gate conductive layer GT3, which can reduce the number of traces in each conductive layer, reduce the trace density, lower the process difficulty, and improve the production yield.

[0285] Exemplarily, as Fig.29 , Fig.30 , Fig.31 and Fig.33 shown, the first sub-line VIL1 and the third sub-line VDL1 are located in the first source-drain conductive layer SD1, and the second sub-line VIL2 and the fourth sub-line VDL2 are located in the second gate conductive layer GT2. On this basis, the third gate conductive layer GT3 can include a third conductive block 60, and the third conductive block 60 is at least partially opposite to the second conductive block 50 to form a first capacitor C1, so as to add a first capacitor C1. Among them, the third conductive block 60 can be connected to the first conductive block 40, so that the two first capacitors C1 are connected in parallel, thereby increasing the capacitance of the first energy storage sub-circuit 250.

[0286] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , Fig.44 , Fig.45 and Fig.46 , the second sub-driving layer 112 includes a fourth gate conductive layer GT4, a fifth gate conductive layer GT5, a second semiconductor layer ACT2, a sixth gate conductive layer GT6, and a second source-drain conductive layer SD2 ( Fig.44 not shown in

[0287] ). Moreover, the fifth gate conductive layer GT5 is disposed on a side of the fourth gate conductive layer GT4 away from the first sub-driving layer 111, the second semiconductor layer ACT2 is disposed on a side of the fifth gate conductive layer GT5 away from the first sub-driving layer 111, the sixth gate conductive layer GT6 is disposed on a side of the second semiconductor layer ACT2 away from the first sub-driving layer 111, and the second source-drain conductive layer SD2 is disposed on a side of the sixth gate conductive layer GT6 away from the first sub-driving layer 111.

[0288] Among them, the second sub-driving layer 112 may further include multiple insulating layers. The multiple insulating layers may include, for example, a third interlayer insulating layer ILD3, a fourth gate insulating layer GI4, a fifth gate insulating layer GI5, a fourth interlayer insulating layer ILD4, and a first planarization layer PLN. The third interlayer insulating layer ILD3 is disposed between the fourth gate conductive layer GT4 and the fifth gate conductive layer GT5. The fourth gate insulating layer GI4 is disposed between the fifth gate conductive layer GT5 and the second semiconductor layer ACT2. The fifth gate insulating layer GI5 is disposed between the second semiconductor layer ACT2 and the sixth gate conductive layer GT6. The fourth interlayer insulating layer ILD4 is disposed between the sixth gate conductive layer GT6 and the second source / drain conductive layer SD2. The first planarization layer PLN is disposed between the second source / drain conductive layer SD2 and the light-emitting device layer 120.

[0289] In addition, the third interlayer insulating layer ILD3 may include a second planarization layer ILD31 and a buffer layer ILD32. The second planarization layer ILD31 has a planarizing effect. The buffer layer ILD32 is disposed on a side of the second planarization layer ILD31 away from the fourth gate conductive layer GT4, and functions to buffer and reduce the risk of damage to the upper transistor T.

[0290] On this basis, the material of the second planarization layer ILD31 includes a low dielectric constant material. For example, the material of the second planarization layer ILD31 includes a material with a dielectric constant less than or equal to 4. For example, the material of the second planarization layer ILD31 includes an organic resin, which is beneficial to reducing the interference between the first sub-driving layer 111 and the second sub-driving layer 112, and the interference between the data line DL and the first electrode 31. Moreover, the thickness of the second planarization layer ILD31 can be relatively large. For example, the thickness of the second planarization layer ILD31 is 1.5 μm to 2 μm. For example, the thickness of the second planarization layer ILD31 is any one of 1.5 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.7 μm, 1.8 μm, 1.9 μm, and 2 μm, so as to further reduce the interference between the first sub-driving layer 111 and the second sub-driving layer 112, and the interference between the data line DL and the first electrode 31.

[0291] In some examples, as Fig.39 shown, the second semiconductor layer ACT2 includes a second channel portion 2021 and a second conductive portion 2022. Among them, the second channel portion 2021 may include the channel 201 of the transistor T in the second sub-driving layer 112. For example, the second channel portion 2021 includes the channel 201 of the second transistor T2 and the channel 201 of the fifth transistor T5. In addition, the two second conductive portions 2022 may be respectively disposed on opposite sides of a second channel portion 2021 as the first pole 211 and the second pole 212 of the transistor T to be coupled to other electronic components (such as capacitors, transistors, and light-emitting devices).

[0292] It should be noted that the material of the second semiconductor layer ACT2 may include an oxide. For example, the material of the second semiconductor layer ACT2 includes any one of indium gallium zinc oxide, indium tin zinc oxide, and indium zinc oxide, so as to avoid adverse effects on the transistor T of the lower first sub-driving layer 111 when forming low-temperature polysilicon by using a high-temperature process (for example, greater than or equal to 400 °C).

[0293] In addition, the materials of the first semiconductor layer ACT1 and the second semiconductor layer ACT2 may be the same. For example, the materials of both the first semiconductor layer ACT1 and the second semiconductor layer ACT2 are oxides. Of course, the materials of the first semiconductor layer ACT1 and the second semiconductor layer ACT2 may also be different. For example, the material of the first semiconductor layer ACT1 is low-temperature polysilicon, and the material of the second semiconductor layer ACT2 is an oxide.

[0294] In some examples, as Fig.34 shown, the fourth gate conductive layer GT4 includes a first adapter block 81 and a second adapter block 82.

[0295] Combined with Fig.34 、 Fig.35 、 Fig.36 、 Fig.39 and Fig.44 , the first adapter block 81 is respectively connected to the second conductive block 50 and the second conductive part 2022 to couple the first pole 211 of the second transistor T2 to the second electrode plate of the first capacitor C1. Combined with Fig.34 、 Fig.35 and Fig.36 , the second adapter block 82 is connected to the first conductive block 40 and the first conductive part 2012 to couple the second pole 212 of the fourth transistor T4 to the first electrode plate of the first capacitor C1.

[0296] Among them, referring to Fig.43 、 Fig.44 、 Fig.45 and Fig.46 , the connection method between the first adapter block 81 and the second conductive part 2022 is not unique, and it can be directly connected or transferred through the second source-drain conductive layer SD2.

[0297] Exemplarily, as Fig.44 shown, the second semiconductor layer ACT2 further includes a first connection post 91. The first connection post 91 is located between the second conductive part 2022 and the first adapter block 81 and is in electrical contact with the second conductive part 2022 and the first adapter block 81. With this arrangement, the distance between the second conductive part 2022 and the first adapter block 81 is relatively close, and the depth of the via hole that needs to be etched in the process of forming the first connection post 91 is relatively shallow, the process difficulty is low, and it is beneficial to improve the production yield.

[0298] Exemplarily, as Fig.45 As shown, the second source-drain conductive layer SD2 includes a third transfer block 83 and a second connection column 92. A part of the second connection column 92 is staggered from the second channel portion 2021 and the second conductive portion 2022, and is located between the third transfer block 83 and the first transfer block 81, and is in electrical contact with the third transfer block 83 and the first transfer block 81; another part is located between the third transfer block 83 and the second conductive portion 2022, and is in electrical contact with the third transfer block 83 and the second conductive portion 2022.

[0299] Set in this way, the first transfer block 81 and the second conductive portion 2022 are transferred through the second source-drain conductive layer SD2. The transfer process can be synchronized with the connection processes of other structures included in the second source-drain conductive layer SD2. For example, the connection between the fifth transfer block 85 and the second conductive portion 2022 mentioned below. This can simplify the process flow and reduce the manufacturing cost. Moreover, the second connection column 92 can be directly formed by one-step etching, simplifying the process flow and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0300] Exemplarily, as Fig.46 shown, the second source-drain conductive layer SD2 further includes a fourth transfer block 84, a third connection column 93, and a fourth connection column 94. The third connection column 93 and the fourth connection column 94 are arranged at intervals. Among them, the third connection column 93 is staggered from the second channel portion 2021 and the second conductive portion 2022, and is located between the fourth transfer block 84 and the first transfer block 81, and is in electrical contact with the fourth transfer block 84 and the first transfer block 81. The fourth connection column 94 is located between the fourth transfer block 84 and the second conductive portion 2022, and is in electrical contact with the fourth transfer block 84 and the second conductive portion 2022.

[0301] Set in this way, the first transfer block 81 and the second conductive portion 2022 are transferred through the second source-drain conductive layer SD2. The transfer process can be synchronized with the connection processes of other structures included in the second source-drain conductive layer SD2. For example, the connection between the fifth transfer block 85 and the second conductive portion 2022 mentioned below. This can simplify the process flow and reduce the manufacturing cost. Moreover, the third connection column 93 and the fourth connection column 94 are formed separately, and the depths of the corresponding vias can be controlled respectively, avoiding the adverse effects caused by over-etching.

[0302] In some examples, as Fig.38A shown, the fifth gate conductive layer GT5 includes a second scan signal line GL2 and a first light emission control signal line EL1. The second scan signal line GL2 and the first light emission control signal line EL1 extend along the second direction Y, and respectively overlap with the second channel portion 2021 of the second semiconductor layer ACT2 to respectively form the first control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 and the first control electrode of the second transistor T2.

[0303] In some examples, as Fig.40 As shown, the sixth gate conductive layer GT6 includes a second scan signal line GL2 and a first light emission control signal line EL1. The second scan signal line GL2 and the first light emission control signal line EL1 extend along the second direction Y, and respectively overlap with the second channel portion 2021 of the second semiconductor layer ACT2 to respectively form the second control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 and the second control electrode of the second transistor T2.

[0304] That is to say, some of the second scan signal lines GL2 are located in the fifth gate conductive layer GT5 to form the first control electrode of the fifth transistor T5, and some of the second scan signal lines GL2 are located in the sixth gate conductive layer GT6 to form the second control electrode of the fifth transistor T5. In this way, the fifth transistor T5 can be controlled through the first control electrode and the second control electrode, and the leakage current can be reduced.

[0305] Moreover, some of the first light emission control signal lines EL1 are located in the fifth gate conductive layer GT5 to form the first control electrode of the second transistor T2, and some of the first light emission control signal lines EL1 are located in the sixth gate conductive layer GT6 to form the second control electrode of the second transistor T2. In this way, the second transistor T2 can be controlled through the first control electrode and the second control electrode, and the leakage current can be reduced.

[0306] It should be noted that the display panel 100 may also only include the fifth gate conductive layer GT5 and not include the sixth gate conductive layer GT6. Or, the display panel 100 may also only include the sixth gate conductive layer GT6 and not include the fifth gate conductive layer GT5.

[0307] Among them, as Fig.38B shown, at least 4 first light emission control signal lines EL1, for example, can be located between two second scan signal lines GL2. On this basis, the second scan signal line GL2 and the first scan signal line GL1 can at least partially overlap. The reset signal line RL is located between two adjacent first light emission control signal lines EL1 that are connected to and adjacent to the first light emission control signal terminals EM of different pixel circuits 20. With this setting, the reset signal line RL is also staggered from both the first light emission control signal line EL1 and the second scan signal line GL2, which can reduce the risk of short circuit between the reset signal line RL and the first light emission control signal line EL1 and the second scan signal line GL2, reduce the interference between signals, and the circuit structure is compact, which is beneficial to improving the pixel density.

[0308] Moreover, the fourth sub-line VDL2 can be located, for example, between the adjacent first light-emitting control signal line EL1 and the second scanning signal line GL2. In this way, the fourth sub-line VDL2 is staggered with the first light-emitting control signal line EL1 and the second scanning signal line GL2, which can reduce the risk of short-circuiting the fourth sub-line VDL2 with the first light-emitting control signal line EL1 and the second scanning signal line GL2, reduce interference between signals, and have a compact circuit structure, which is conducive to improving pixel density.

[0309] In some examples, such as Fig.41 As shown, the second source-drain conductive layer SD2 includes a reference voltage signal line VRL and a fifth adapter block 85 , which is connected to the second conductive portion 2022 and the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting device 30 to couple the second electrode 212 of the second transistor T2 to the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting device 30 .

[0310] It should be noted that, according to the arrangement of the light emitting devices 30 , the size and shape of the fifth adapter block 85 connected to different light emitting devices 30 can be adaptively adjusted, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this.

[0311] In addition, the reference voltage signal line VRL includes a fifth sub-line VRL1 and a sixth sub-line VRL2, the fifth sub-line VRL1 extends along the first direction X, the sixth sub-line VRL2 extends along the second direction Y, and one fifth sub-line VRL1 is connected to a plurality of sixth sub-lines VRL2, and one sixth sub-line VRL2 is connected to a plurality of fifth sub-lines VRL1 to form a mesh structure. In this case, the reference voltage signal line VRL forms a mesh structure, which can reduce the voltage drop of the reference voltage signal and reduce the difference in the reference voltage signals received by different pixel circuits 20, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel 100.

[0312] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The light emitting device layer 120 includes a first electrode layer 310 , a light emitting functional layer 320 and a second electrode layer 330 which are arranged in sequence, and the second electrode layer 330 is located on a side of the first electrode layer 310 away from the driving circuit layer 110 .

[0313] like Fig.41 and Fig.42A As shown, the first electrode layer 310 includes a plurality of first electrodes 31, and the first electrodes 31 are connected to the fifth adapter block 85 to be coupled to the second electrode 212 of the second transistor T2 through the fifth adapter block 85. Of course, the first electrode 31 may also be directly connected to the second electrode 212 of the second transistor T2, that is, the second source-drain conductive layer SD2 does not include the fifth adapter block 85, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0314] In addition, the light-emitting functional layer 320 includes a plurality of light-emitting portions 32. The second electrode layer 330 may be a continuous integral layer structure. The second electrode layer 330 includes a plurality of second electrodes 33.
