[0097] The implementation manners in the present disclosure can be implemented in multiple different forms. Those of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the implementation manners and content can be transformed into various forms without departing from the gist and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited only to the content described in the following implementation manners. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined arbitrarily with each other.
[0098] In the drawings, for clarity, the sizes of components, the thicknesses of layers, or regions may sometimes be exaggerated. Therefore, any implementation of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to the dimensions shown in the figures, and the shapes and sizes of components in the drawings do not reflect the true proportions. In addition, the drawings schematically show ideal examples, and any implementation of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings, etc.
[0099] The ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third", etc. in the present disclosure are provided to avoid confusion of components and are not intended to limit the quantity.
[0100] In the present disclosure, for convenience, terms indicating orientation or positional relationships such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are used to describe the positional relationships of components with reference to the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing the embodiments 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 operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of the present disclosure. The positional relationships of components can be appropriately changed according to the directions of the described components. Therefore, it is not limited to the terms described in the text and can be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.
[0101] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate member, or the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the circumstances.
[0102] In the present disclosure, a transistor refers to an element including at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (or drain electrode terminal, drain connection region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (or source electrode terminal, source connection region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. In the present disclosure, the channel region refers to the region where current mainly flows.
[0103] In the present disclosure, the first pole can be the drain electrode and the second pole can be the source electrode, or the first pole can be the source electrode and the second pole can be the drain electrode. In the case of using transistors with opposite polarities or when the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged. In the present disclosure, the control pole can be the gate electrode.
[0104] In the present disclosure, "electrically connected" includes a case where constituent elements are connected together by an element having a certain electrical function. The "element having a certain electrical function" is not particularly limited as long as it can transfer electrical signals between the constituent elements to be connected. The "element having a certain electrical function" can be, for example, an electrode or a wiring, or a switching element such as a transistor, or other functional elements such as a resistor, an inductor, or a capacitor.

The display substrate may include a timing controller, a data signal driving circuit, a scan signal driving circuit, a light emission signal driving circuit, and a pixel array. The timing controller is respectively connected to the data signal driving circuit, the scan signal driving circuit, and the light emission signal driving circuit. The data signal driving circuit is respectively connected to a plurality of data signal lines (D1 to Dn), the scan signal driving circuit is respectively connected to a plurality of scan signal lines (G1 to Gm), and the light emission signal driving circuit is respectively connected to a plurality of light emission signal lines (E1 to Eo). The pixel array may include a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij, where i and j may be natural numbers. At least one sub-pixel Pxij may include a circuit unit and a light emitting device connected to the circuit unit. The circuit unit may include a pixel driving circuit, and the pixel driving circuit may be respectively connected to the scan signal line, the light emission signal line, and the data signal line (which may be referred to as a data line). In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller may provide a gray value and a control signal suitable for the specification of the data signal driving circuit to the data signal driving circuit, may provide a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. suitable for the specification of the scan signal driving circuit to the scan signal driving circuit, and may provide a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. suitable for the specification of the light emission signal driving circuit to the light emission signal driving circuit. The data signal driving circuit may use the gray value and the control signal received from the timing controller to generate data voltages that will be provided to the data signal lines D1, D2, D3,..., and Dn. For example, the data signal driving circuit may sample the gray value using a clock signal and apply the data voltages corresponding to the gray value to the data signal lines D1 to Dn in units of pixel rows, where n may be a natural number. The scan signal driving circuit may generate scan signals that will be provided to the scan signal lines G1, G2, G3,..., and Gm by receiving a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. from the timing controller. For example, the scan signal driving circuit may sequentially provide scan signals having conductive level pulses to the scan signal lines G1 to Gm. For example, the scan signal driving circuit may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate scan signals in such a way that the scan start signal provided in the form of a conductive level pulse is sequentially transmitted to the next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m may be a natural number. The light emission signal driving circuit may generate emission signals that will be provided to the light emission signal lines E1, E2, E3,..., and Eo by receiving a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. from the timing controller. For example, the light emission signal driving circuit may sequentially provide emission signals having cut-off level pulses to the light emission signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the light emission driver may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate emission signals in such a way that the emission stop signal provided in the form of a cut-off level pulse is sequentially transmitted to the next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where o may be a natural number.

As Figure 2 shown, the display panel may include a display area AA and a border area BB surrounding the display area AA. In some examples, the peripheral area BB may include: a first border (lower border) B1 and a second border (upper border) B2 oppositely arranged in the second direction Y, and a third border (left border) B3 and a fourth border (right border) B4 oppositely arranged in the first direction X. The first border B1 is connected to the third border B3 and the fourth border B4, and the second border B2 is connected to the third border B3 and the fourth border B4. In some examples, the display area AA may include a first edge (lower edge) and a second edge (upper edge) oppositely arranged in the second direction Y, and a third edge (left edge) and a fourth edge (right edge) oppositely arranged in the first direction X. The display area AA may include a plurality of regularly arranged sub-pixels Pxij. The sub-pixel may include a pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting device. The first border B1 may include a bonding circuit for connecting a signal line to an external driving device. The third border B3 and the fourth border B4 may include a gate driving circuit and a second power supply line VSS for transmitting a voltage signal to the plurality of sub-pixels.
[0107] Figure 3 The following shows a schematic plan view of the first border area B1. In a plane parallel to the display substrate, the first border area B1 may include a first fan-out area 11, a bending area 12, a second fan-out area 13, and a bonding area 14 arranged in sequence along the direction away from the display area AA; wherein, the bonding area 14 may include a driving chip area 141 and a bonding electrode area 142 arranged in sequence along the direction of the second fan-out area 13 away from the bending area 12. The first fan-out area 11 may include data fan-out lines, a first power supply line, and a second power supply line VSS. The data fan-out lines are located in the middle of the first fan-out area 11 and include a plurality of data connection lines. The plurality of data connection lines are configured to connect the data lines (Data Line) of the display area AA in a fan-out (Fanout) routing manner. The first power supply line is configured to connect the high-voltage power supply line (VDD) of the display area AA, and the second power supply line is the low-voltage power supply line (VSS) located in the third border area B3 and the fourth border area B4. The bending area 12 may include a composite insulating layer provided with a groove and is configured to bend the bonding area 14 to the back of the display area AA (such as Figure 4As shown). The second fan-out region 13 includes a plurality of data connection lines led out in a fan-out wiring manner. The driving chip region 141 may be provided with an integrated circuit (IC) 20, which is configured to be connected to the plurality of data connection lines. The bonding electrode region 142 includes a plurality of bonding pads, which are configured to be bonded and connected to a flexible printed circuit (FPC) 30. In an exemplary embodiment, the integrated circuit (IC) 20 may be bonded and connected to the driving chip region 141, and the flexible printed circuit (FPC) 30 may be bonded and connected to the bonding electrode region 142. In an exemplary embodiment, the integrated circuit 20 (which may be referred to as a data driving circuit) may generate driving signals required for driving sub-pixels and may provide the driving signals to the sub-pixels Pxij located in the display area AA. For example, the driving signal may be a data signal for controlling the light-emitting brightness of the sub-pixels. In an exemplary embodiment, the bonding electrode region 142 may be provided with pads (PADs) including a plurality of pins (PINs), and the flexible circuit board 30 may be bonded and connected to the pads.
[0108] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the bending region 12 may invert the surface of the bonding region 14, that is, the surface of the bonding region 14 facing upward may be converted to face downward through the bending of the bending region 12. In an exemplary embodiment, when the bending region 12 is bent, the bonding region 14 may overlap with the display area AA in the thickness direction of the display panel.
[0109] In an exemplary embodiment, for a large-sized display substrate, a plurality of data driving ICs (which may be referred to as driving ICs, that is, driving integrated circuits) and a plurality of FPCs may be provided. The plurality of FPCs are respectively bonded and connected to the plurality of data driving ICs. For example, four data driving ICs may be provided and respectively bonded and connected to four FPCs. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to four ICs and four FPCs. For example, two data driving ICs and two FPCs may be provided; for a small-sized display substrate, one data driving IC or two data driving ICs may be provided. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of data driving ICs and FPCs may be set according to the size and function requirements of the display substrate, and the present disclosure does not make a limitation here.
[0110] With the development of display technology, people's requirements for high refresh rate and narrow bezel are getting higher and higher. In the case of existing display substrates meeting the high refresh rate, it is very difficult to further narrow the bezel, and there is a problem of great difficulty in bezel narrowing design. In order to improve the refresh rate of the display substrate and at the same time meet the threshold voltage (Vth) compensation ability of the display substrate, a dual data line (Dual Source) structure can be adopted. The dual data line structure can be called dual data link (English: Dual Data Link, abbreviated: DDL) technology to increase the compensation time of the threshold voltage and improve the display quality. As Figure 5 shown, it is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel with dual data lines. The display panel includes M×N display units arranged in an array defined by the intersection of M gate lines and N pairs of data lines. M and N are integers greater than or equal to 2. Each pair of data lines includes a first data line DA and a second data line DB, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the corresponding display column. For the m-th display row, m = 1, 2,..., M, the N display units in the m-th display row are all connected to the m-th gate line G(m). For the n-th display column, n = 1, 2,..., N, the two data lines in the n-th data line D(n) are respectively connected to the display units of odd display rows and even display rows, that is, the display units of odd display rows in the n-th display column are connected to the first data line DA, and the display units of even display rows are connected to the second data line DB; or the display units of even display rows are connected to the first data line DA, and the display units of odd display rows are connected to the second data line DB. During the operation of the display panel, within one row period when the m-th gate line G(m) outputs a scan signal, all the second data lines DB write display data to all the display units in the m-th display row. Within one row period when the m + 1-th gate line G(m + 1) outputs a scan signal, all the first data lines DA write display data to all the display units in the m + 1-th display row.
[0111] In Figure 5 the shown display panel, the dual data line structure increases the number of data lines, resulting in an increase in the size of the first bezel B1 of the display substrate along the second direction Y. In the case of achieving high refresh rate and high display quality, there is a problem of great difficulty in bezel narrowing design. Adopting the dual data line structure (DDL technology) leads to an increase in the number of data lines, and the number of pins of the driving IC is limited. A data selector (abbreviated as MUX, English name is multiplexer, and can be called MUX technology) can be adopted, which can reduce the number of pins of the driving IC and, in some cases, reduce the number of driving ICs and lower the cost. As Figure 6As shown, in the case of using the MUX technology, additional space for setting the data selector (MUX) 40 is required in the first border area B1, which will increase the size of the first border B1 along the second direction Y. To reduce the width of the lower border, some display substrates adopt the FIAA (Fanout in AA, where the data fan-out lines are located in the display area) or FIP (Fanout In Panel) technology, that is, new signal traces are added in the display area AA, and the data signals of some data lines are transmitted by the newly added signal traces, reducing the size of the first fan-out area 11 along the second direction Y, thereby reducing the width of the first border B1 (i.e., the size of the first border B1 along the second direction Y). However, in the double data line structure, the number of data lines in the display area AA is relatively dense, and it is difficult to add too many new signal traces in the display area AA, that is, FIAA or FIP cannot be used to reduce the border in the double data line structure. In the single data line (single Source) structure, in the high PPI structure, the line density of the display area AA is also very large, and it is difficult to add too many new signal traces in the display area AA, and there is also the technical problem that FIAA or FIP cannot be used to reduce the border. In addition, in the structure using FIAA or FIP, the line density of the display area AA increases and the light transmittance decreases.
[0112] As can be seen from the above, in the display substrate, there is a technical problem of great difficulty in narrowing the border.

[0137] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below through specific embodiments:
[0138] As Figures 8a to 8dAs shown, it is a schematic plan view of a display substrate provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In the plane where the display substrate is located, the display substrate may include a display area AA and a border area BB surrounding the display area AA. In the second direction Y, the border area BB may include a first border area B1 and a second border area B2 located on both sides of the display area AA. The display area AA may include N columns of sub-pixels Pxij and N pairs of data lines DL respectively connected to the N columns of sub-pixels Pxij.

Among the multiple sub-pixels Pxij in the same column of sub-pixels, two adjacent sub-pixels Pxij are respectively electrically connected to the first data line DL1 and the second data line DL2 in a pair of data lines DL. In the plane where the display substrate is located, multiple data lines DL among the N pairs of data lines DL extend along the second direction Y and are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The part of the k data output lines DT located in the first border area B1 extends along the second direction Y and is arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The first direction X intersects with the second direction Y.
[0139] Among them, the data lines DL located in the display area AA are electrically connected to the multiplexing circuit 400.

The driving circuit 20 can be electrically connected to ten multiplexing circuits 40 respectively through ten data output lines DT. The data lines DL in the display area AA are electrically connected to the multiplexing circuit 400 at the position where the display area AA is adjacent to the first border area B1 (for example, at the position where the first border area B1 is adjacent to the display area AA). In the first direction X, among the multiple multiplexing circuits 40 electrically connected to the driving circuit 20, the six first-type multiplexing circuits 41 in the middle can be electrically connected to the driving circuit 20 through the first-type data output lines DT, and the four second-type multiplexing circuits 42 on both sides can be electrically connected to the driving circuit 20 through the second-type data output lines DT.

The four data output lines DT connected to the first multiplexing circuit 401, the second multiplexing circuit 402, the ninth multiplexing circuit 409, and the tenth multiplexing circuit 410 can be the second-type data output lines DT. The shape of the first data output line DT1 connected to the first multiplexing circuit 401 and the second data output line DT2 connected to the second multiplexing circuit 402 can be an "L" shape rotated 180° clockwise, and the shape of the ninth data output line DT9 connected to the ninth multiplexing circuit 401 and the tenth data output line DT10 connected to the tenth multiplexing circuit 410 can be an "L" shape flipped along the first direction X.

In the display area AA, the orthographic projections of the multiple second-type data output lines DT on the substrate do not overlap. This structure can be called reverse order; in Figure 8b In the shown structure, at one end of the multiple data output lines DT in the first border area B1 connected to the driving circuit 20, the first data output line DT1 electrically connected to the first multiplexing circuit 401 is located between the fourth data output line DT4 and the third data output line DT3, and the second data output line DT2 electrically connected to the second multiplexing circuit 402 is located between the fourth data output line DT4 and the fifth data output line DT5.

For example, any one or more of the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, the electron injection layer, and the electron transport layer corresponding to adjacent sub-pixels may be isolated. In some examples, the organic light-emitting layer may be formed by evaporation using a fine metal mask (FMM) or an open mask, or formed by an inkjet process.
