Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0080] The scales of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference for actual processes, but are not limited to such. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of the various film layers, and the width and spacing of the various signal lines can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are merely schematic structural diagrams, and one embodiment of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the figures.
[0081] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number.
[0082] In this specification, for convenience, words and phrases indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside," are used to illustrate the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.
[0083] In this specification, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure.
[0084] In this specification, a transistor refers to a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0085] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or vice versa. The functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged, and "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.
[0086] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transfer of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.
[0087] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. Furthermore, "perpendicular" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.
[0088] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced with "insulating layer."
[0089] The triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons in this specification are not in the strict sense, but may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons, etc. There may be some small deformations caused by tolerances, and there may be chamfers, arc edges and deformations.
[0090] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly defined and allows for process and measurement errors.

The data driver can generate data voltages to be supplied to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., and Dn using grayscale values and control signals received from a timing controller. For example, the data driver can sample grayscale values using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values to data signal lines D1 to Dn on a per-pixel basis, where n can be a natural number. The scan driver can generate scan signals to be supplied to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., and Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, and the like from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver can sequentially supply scan signals having on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver can be configured as a shift register and can sequentially transmit scan start signals provided in the form of on-level pulses to the next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. The light driver can generate emission signals to be supplied to light signal lines E1, E2, E3, ..., and Eo by receiving clock signals, emission stop signals, and the like from the timing controller. For example, the light emitting driver may sequentially provide emission signals having off-level pulses to the light emitting signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the light emitting driver may be configured as a shift register and may generate emission signals by sequentially transmitting emission stop signals provided in the form of off-level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal. o may be a natural number. In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel array may be provided on a display substrate.

[0132] With the development of OLED display technology, consumers are increasingly demanding higher display effects and quality. Narrow bezels have become a new trend in display product development. Consequently, narrower or even borderless bezels are gaining increasing attention in OLED display product design. In one display substrate, the data signals from the integrated circuits in the bonding area must be introduced to the wider display area via data lead wires in a fan-out manner. This occupies a large area in the lead wire area, resulting in a larger bottom bezel width, which has been maintained at approximately 2.0mm.

Multiple data connection lines are arranged in the display area. One end of each of the multiple data connection lines is connected to a plurality of data signal lines in the display area. The other ends of the multiple data connection lines extend to a binding area and are connected to the integrated circuit via a plurality of data lead lines in a lead area. Because the lead area does not require fan-shaped diagonal lines, the width of the lead area is reduced, thereby reducing the width of the lower bezel.

Data signals from the integrated circuit are applied to the data signal lines 70 via the data lead lines 80A and the data connection lines 80. Since the data connection lines 80 are arranged in the display region, the length of the lead region in the second direction Y can be effectively reduced, significantly reducing the width of the lower bezel, and increasing the screen-to-body ratio, facilitating full-screen display.

The fourth scan signal line 34 is connected to the first gate connection block 21 - 1 via an eighth via V8 . Because the first gate connection block 21 - 1 is connected to the first gate electrode 21 , the first gate electrode 21 in the first conductive layer and the fourth scan signal line 34 in the third conductive layer form a dual-layer, parallel structure.

In an exemplary embodiment, since the first electrode plate 25 can serve as the gate electrode of the third transistor T3, the first connection electrode 51 interconnects the second electrode of the first transistor T1, the first electrode of the second transistor T2, the gate electrode of the third transistor T3, and the first electrode plate 25, forming a first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit.
[0276] In an exemplary embodiment, the second connection electrode 52 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the second direction Y. A first end of the second connection electrode 52 is connected to the first region of the third active layer (also the second region of the fourth active layer and the second region of the fifth active layer) via a second via hole V2, and a second end of the second connection electrode 52 is connected to the second region of the eighth active layer via a seventh via hole V7. In an exemplary embodiment, the second connection electrode 52 interconnects the first electrode of the third transistor T3, the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4, the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5, and the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8, forming a second node N2 of the pixel driving circuit.
[0277] In an exemplary embodiment, the third connection electrode 53 may be in a block shape (e.g., a rectangular shape).

In an exemplary embodiment, the third connection electrode 53 may serve as a data connection electrode of the present disclosure.
[0278] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one repeating unit, the third connection electrodes 53 of the plurality of circuit units may all be disposed on a side of the first scan signal line 31 close to the second electrode plate 26 , and the plurality of third connection electrodes 53 may be located on the same straight line extending along the first direction X.
[0279] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the fourth connecting electrode 54 can be block-shaped (such as rectangular), and the fourth connecting electrode 54 is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer (which is also the second region of the seventh active layer) through the fifth via V5.

[0280] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth connection electrode 55 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the second direction Y and may be disposed on a side of the power connection line 62 away from the first scan signal line 31. A first end of the fifth connection electrode 55 is connected to the first region of the fifth active layer via a fourth via hole V4, and a second end of the fifth connection electrode 55 is connected to the power connection line 62. Because the power connection line 62 is connected to a first power line formed later, the fifth connection electrode 55 enables the first power line to write the first power signal to the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5.
[0281] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one circuit unit, the fifth connection electrode 55 and the power connection line 62 may be an integral structure connected to each other.
[0282] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one repeating unit, the third conductive layer may further include a sixth connection electrode 56 and a seventh connection electrode 57 .
[0283] In an exemplary embodiment, the sixth connection electrode 56 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the first direction X and may be disposed on a side of the fourth scan signal line 34 away from the second electrode plate 26.

Because the first active connection block 10A is connected to the first active connection line 10 and the first initial connection portion 41-1 is connected to the first initial signal line 41, the sixth connection electrode 56 connects the first initial signal line 41 to the first active connection line 10, forming a double-layer, parallel structure for the first initial signal line. This effectively reduces the resistance of the first initial signal line, reduces the voltage drop of the first initial signal, and effectively improves the uniformity of the first initial signal, thereby effectively improving display uniformity and enhancing display quality.
[0284] In the exemplary embodiment, since the first active connection line 10 is connected to the first region of the first active layer in each circuit unit, the first initial signal line 41 writes the first initial signal into the first electrode of the first transistor T1 in each circuit unit.
[0285] In an exemplary embodiment, the seventh connection electrode 57 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the first direction X and may be disposed on a side of the second initial signal line 42 away from the second electrode plate 26. A first end of the seventh connection electrode 57 is connected to the third active connection block 30A via a fifteenth via hole V15, and a second end of the seventh connection electrode 57 is connected to the third initial connection portion 43-1 via a sixteenth via hole V16. Because the third active connection block 30A is connected to the third active connection line 30, and the third initial connection portion 43-1 is connected to the third initial signal line 43, the seventh connection electrode 57 connects the third initial signal line 43 to the third active connection line 30, forming a double-layer, parallel structure for the third initial signal line. This effectively reduces the resistance of the third initial signal line, reduces the voltage drop of the third initial signal, and effectively improves the uniformity of the third initial signal, thereby effectively improving display uniformity and enhancing display quality.
[0286] In an exemplary embodiment, since the third active connection line 30 is connected to the first region of the eighth active layer in each circuit unit, the third initial signal line 43 writes the third initial signal into the first electrode of the eighth transistor T8 in each circuit unit.

[0288] like Figure 14A and Figure 14B As shown, the third conductive layer in the first area (FIP area) may further include a first connecting line 81 and a first constant voltage trace 91 .
[0289] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first connecting line 81 and the first constant voltage line 91 can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X, and can be arranged between the first scanning signal line 31 and the second electrode 26 (also between the first scanning signal line 31 and the power connection line 62).
[0290] In an exemplary embodiment, a first connection block 81-1 may be provided on the first connection line 81. The first connection block 81-1 may be in a block shape (e.g., rectangular) and may be provided on a side of the first connection line 81 close to the second electrode plate 26 and connected to the first connection line 81.

[0292] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one dummy connection block 83 may be further provided on the first connection line 81. The dummy connection block 83 may be block-shaped (e.g., rectangular) and may be provided on a side of the first connection line 81 close to the second electrode plate 26 and connected to the first connection line 81.
[0293] In an exemplary embodiment, the dummy connection block 83 may be provided in an insertion column, and the first connection line 81 and the dummy connection block 83 may be an integral structure connected to each other. For example, the dummy connection block 83 may be provided in an insertion column between the Nth unit column and the N+1th unit column.
[0294] In an exemplary embodiment, the position and shape of the dummy connection block 83 in one insertion column can be substantially identical to the position and shape of the first connection block 81-1 in another insertion column, with the difference being that the first connection block 81-1 is configured to connect to a subsequently formed second connection line, while the dummy connection block 83 is neither connected to the second connection line nor to any other traces. The present disclosure utilizes a uniform design for the transition region, which not only improves the uniformity of the subsequent etching process but also enables different locations to achieve the same display effect under both transmitted and reflected light, improving display uniformity and achieving shadow elimination, effectively avoiding poor display substrate appearance and the occurrence of off-screen watermarks (mura), and improving display quality.
[0295] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one circuit unit may further include a data connection block 84.

A first break DF1 may be provided between the first connection line 81 and the first constant voltage trace 91 to achieve mutual insulation between the first connection line 81 and the first constant voltage trace 91.
[0298] In one exemplary embodiment, the width of the first constant voltage trace 91 may be equal to the width of the first connecting line 81. In another exemplary embodiment, the widths of the first connecting line 81 and the first constant voltage trace 91 may be different. The widths of the first connecting line 81 and the first constant voltage trace 91 are dimensions in the second direction Y.

[0300] In an exemplary embodiment, the first constant voltage trace 91 may be in the shape of a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X, and may be disposed between the first scan signal line 31 and the second electrode plate 26 (also between the first scan signal line 31 and the power connection line 62 ).
[0301] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one repeating unit row may be provided with only the first constant voltage trace 91 but not the first connection line.

[0306] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of via holes of each circuit unit in the display area includes a twenty-first via hole V21 , a twenty-second via hole V22 , and a twenty-third via hole V23 .
[0307] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the twenty-first via V21 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the power connection line 62 on the substrate, the first flat layer in the twenty-first via V21 is removed, exposing the surface of the power connection line 62, and the twenty-first via V21 is configured to connect the subsequently formed first power line to the power connection line 62 through the via.
[0308] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the twenty-second via hole V22 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the fourth connecting electrode 54 on the substrate, the first flat layer in the twenty-second via hole V22 is removed, exposing the surface of the fourth connecting electrode 54, and the twenty-second via hole V22 is configured to connect the subsequently formed anode connecting electrode to the fourth connecting electrode 54 through the via hole.

[0310] In an exemplary embodiment, since the third connection electrode 53 in the circuit unit of the Mth unit row and the N+1th unit column is connected to the first connection line 81 through the data connection block 84, the twenty-third via V23 in the circuit unit of the Mth unit row and the N+1th unit column can serve as the first connection hole of the present disclosure.
[0311] like Figure 15A As shown, the first flat layer of the first region may further include a twenty-fourth via V24. In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the twenty-fourth via V24 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first connection block 81-1 of the first connection line 81 on the substrate. The first flat layer within the twenty-fourth via V24 is removed, exposing the surface of the first connection block 81-1. The twenty-fourth via V24 is configured to connect a subsequently formed second connection line to the first connection block 81-1 through this via. In an exemplary embodiment, the twenty-fourth via V24 may serve as the second connection hole of the present disclosure.
[0312] like Figure 15B As shown, the first flat layer of the second region may further include a twenty-fifth via V25. In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the twenty-fifth via V25 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the first constant voltage connection block 91-1 of the first constant voltage trace 91 on the substrate. The first flat layer within the twenty-fifth via V25 is removed, exposing the surface of the first constant voltage connection block 91-1. The twenty-fifth via V25 is configured to connect the subsequently formed second constant voltage trace to the first constant voltage connection block 91-1 through the via. In an exemplary embodiment, the twenty-fifth via V25 may serve as the third connection hole of the present disclosure.
[0313] (17) Forming a fourth conductive layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the fourth conductive layer pattern may include: depositing a fourth conductive film on the substrate having the aforementioned pattern formed thereon, patterning the fourth conductive film using a patterning process, and forming a fourth conductive layer disposed on the first flat layer, such as Figure 16A 、 Figure 16B 、 Figure 16C and Figure 16D As shown, Figure 16A for Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the structure of area A in the middle. Figure 16B for Figure 16A A plan view of the fourth conductive layer in FIG. Figure 16C for Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the structure of area B in the middle. Figure 16D for Figure 16C In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer may be referred to as a second source-drain metal (SD2) layer.
[0314] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer pattern of each circuit unit in the display area includes at least a first power supply line 61 , an anode connection electrode 63 , and a data signal line 70 .
[0315] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first power line 61 can be a straight line or a broken line with the main portion extending along the second direction Y. The first power line 61 is connected to the power connection line 62 through the twenty-first via V21, thereby realizing the mutual connection between the power connection line 62 extending along the first direction X and the first power line 61 extending along the second direction Y. The power connection line 62 and the first power line 61 form a mesh connection structure for transmitting the first power signal, which can effectively reduce the resistance of the first power line, effectively reduce the voltage drop of the first power signal, effectively improve the uniformity of the first power signal, effectively improve the display uniformity, and improve the display quality and display quality.
[0316] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first power line 61 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 51 on the substrate. Because the first connection electrode 51 serves as the first node N1 in the pixel driving circuit, the first power line 61, which has a constant voltage, can effectively shield the first node N1 from the effects of other signals in the pixel driving circuit. This prevents other signals (such as data voltage jumps) from affecting the potential of the first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit, reduces crosstalk, and improves display quality.
[0317] In an exemplary embodiment, an orthographic projection of the first power line 61 on the substrate may include an orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 51 on the substrate.
[0318] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power lines 61 may be designed with unequal widths. The unequal width design of the first power lines 61 not only facilitates the layout of the pixel structure but also reduces the parasitic capacitance between the first power lines and the data signal lines.
[0319] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first power line 61 on the substrate may include the orthographic projection of the first break DF1 on the first connecting line 81 on the substrate, so that the first power line 61 can block the first break DF1 from above, which can effectively eliminate the film layer differences in different areas, is conducive to shadow elimination, and avoids poor appearance of the display substrate.
[0320] In an exemplary embodiment, the anode connection electrode 63 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the first direction X. The anode connection electrode 63 is connected to the fourth connection electrode 54 through the twenty-second via hole V22. The anode connection electrode 63 is configured to be connected to a subsequently formed anode. Since the fourth connection electrode 54 is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer (also the second region of the seventh active layer) through the via hole, the pixel driving circuit is enabled to drive the light-emitting device to emit light.
[0321] In an exemplary embodiment, the data signal line 70 may be in the shape of a straight line or a zigzag line, with the main portion extending along the second direction Y. The data signal line 70 is connected to the third connection electrode 53 through the twenty-third via hole V23. Since the third connection electrode 53 is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the via hole, the data signal line 70 writes the data signal to the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4.
[0322] In an exemplary embodiment, since the third connection electrode 53 in the circuit unit of the Mth unit row and the N+1th unit column is connected to the first connection line 81 through the data connection block 84, the connection between the first connection line 81 in the Mth unit row and the data signal line 70 in the N+1th unit column is achieved.
[0323] like Figure 16A and Figure 16B As shown, the fourth conductive layer in the first region may further include a second connection line 82 and a second constant voltage trace 92. The second connection line 82 and the second constant voltage trace 92 may be in the shape of a straight line or a broken line with the main portion extending along the second direction Y, and may be respectively arranged in the insertion column.
[0324] In an exemplary embodiment, a second connection block 82-1 may be provided on the second connection line 82. The second connection block 82-1 may be block-shaped (e.g., rectangular) and may be provided on a side of the second connection line 82 opposite to the first direction X. The second connection block 82-1 is connected to the second connection line 82. The second connection block 82-1 is connected to the first connection block 81-1 via the twenty-fourth via V24. Since the first connection block 81-1 is connected to the first connection line 81 and the second connection block 82-1 is connected to the second connection line 82, a connection is established between the first connection line 81 in the Mth cell row and the second connection line 82 located in the intervening column between the N+3th cell column and the N+4th cell column. Due to the connection between the first connection line 81 in the Mth unit row and the data signal line 70 in the N+1th unit column, the second connection line 82 in the inserted column, the first connection line 81 in the Mth unit row, and the data signal line 70 in the N+1th unit column are connected in sequence, and the data signal in the binding area can be transmitted to the data signal line 70 through the first connection line 81 and the second connection line 82.
[0325] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one second connecting line 82 and at least one second constant voltage line 92 may be provided in at least one insertion column, and a second break DF2 may be provided between the second connecting line 82 and the second constant voltage line 92 so that the second connecting line 82 and the second constant voltage line 92 located on both sides of the second break DF2 are insulated from each other.
[0326] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second fracture DF2 on the substrate can be located within the range of the orthographic projection of the first initial signal line 41 on the substrate, so that the first initial signal line 41 can pad the second fracture DF2 from the bottom, which can effectively eliminate the film layer differences in different areas, is conducive to eliminating shadows, and avoids poor appearance of the display substrate.
[0327] In some possible embodiments, the orthographic projection of the second break DF2 on the substrate may be within the range of the orthographic projection of the second initial signal line 42 on the substrate, or the orthographic projection of the second break DF2 on the substrate may be within the range of the orthographic projection of the third initial signal line 43 on the substrate, or the orthographic projection of the second break DF2 on the substrate may be within the range of the orthographic projection of the power connection line 62 on the substrate.
[0328] In some other possible implementations, the orthographic projection of the second fracture DF2 on the substrate may be located within the range of the orthographic projection of the first connection line 81 on the substrate, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
[0329] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one repeating unit, an orthographic projection of the second connection block 82 - 1 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of the dummy connection block 83 on the substrate.
[0330] In one exemplary embodiment, the width of the second constant voltage trace 92 may be equal to the width of the second connecting line 82. In another exemplary embodiment, the widths of the second connecting line 82 and the second constant voltage trace 92 may be different. The widths of the second connecting line 82 and the second constant voltage trace 92 are dimensions in the first direction X.
[0331] like Figure 16C and Figure 16D As shown, the fourth conductive layer in the second region may further include a second constant voltage trace 92 . The second constant voltage trace 92 may be in the shape of a straight line or a broken line with the main portion extending along the second direction Y, and may be arranged in a corresponding insertion column.
[0332] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one second constant voltage connection block 92-1 may be provided on the second constant voltage trace 92. The second constant voltage connection block 92-1 may be block-shaped (e.g., rectangular) and may be provided on a side opposite to the first direction X of the second constant voltage trace 92, and connected to the second constant voltage trace 92. The second constant voltage connection block 92-1 is connected to the first constant voltage connection block 91-1 via the twenty-fifth via V25. Since the first constant voltage connection block 91-1 is connected to the first constant voltage trace 91, and the second constant voltage connection block 92-1 is connected to the second constant voltage trace 92, the first constant voltage trace 91 extending along the first direction X and the second constant voltage trace 92 extending along the second direction Y are interconnected. The first constant voltage trace 91 and the second constant voltage trace 92 form a meshed interconnected structure for transmitting a constant voltage signal, which can effectively reduce the resistance of the constant voltage signal line, effectively reduce the voltage drop of the constant voltage signal, effectively improve the uniformity of the constant voltage signal, effectively improve the display uniformity, and improve the display quality and display quality.
[0333] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one insertion column may be provided with only the second constant voltage trace 92 without any second connection line.
[0334] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one repeating unit, an orthographic projection of the second constant voltage connection block 92 - 1 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of the dummy connection block 83 on the substrate.
[0335] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one first power line 61 may be disposed between the data signal line 70 and the second connection line 82 , or at least one first power line 61 may be disposed between the data signal line 70 and the second constant voltage trace 92 .
[0336] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of at least one second connecting line 82 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the shielding electrode 28 on the substrate, or the orthographic projection of at least one second constant voltage trace 92 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the shielding electrode 28 on the substrate.
[0337] In an exemplary embodiment, the binding region may be provided with a binding constant voltage lead, which may transmit a first power signal or a second power signal. At least one second constant voltage trace 92 may extend to the binding region and connect to the binding constant voltage lead, thereby transmitting the first power signal or the second power signal.
[0338] In an exemplary embodiment, the first constant voltage trace 91 and the second constant voltage trace 92 are both traces for transmitting the first power signal, forming a meshed connection structure for transmitting the first power signal.
[0339] In an exemplary embodiment, the first constant voltage trace 91 and the second constant voltage trace 92 are both traces for transmitting the second power signal, forming a meshed connection structure for transmitting the second power signal.
[0340] In some possible implementations, the second constant voltage trace 92 may be directly connected to the first power line 61 via a connecting bar, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0347] In an exemplary embodiment, after the driving structure layer is prepared, a light emitting structure layer is prepared on the driving structure layer. The preparation process of the light emitting structure layer may include the following operations.
[0348] (19) Forming an anode conductive layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the anode conductive layer pattern may include: depositing an anode conductive film on the substrate having the aforementioned pattern formed thereon, patterning the anode conductive film using a patterning process, and forming an anode conductive layer disposed on the second flat layer, such as Figure 18A and Figure 18B As shown, Figure 18B for Figure 18A Schematic plan view of the anode conductive layer. Figure 18A for Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the structure of area A in the middle. Figure 8 The anode conductive layer pattern in the B area Figure 8 The middle A area is basically the same.
[0349] In an exemplary embodiment, the anode conductive layer may include at least a plurality of anode patterns. The plurality of anode patterns may include a first anode 130A for a red light-emitting unit, a second anode 130B for a green light-emitting unit, and a third anode 130C for a blue light-emitting unit. The first anodes 130A and the second anodes 130B may be alternately arranged along the second direction Y, and the third anode 130C may be arranged on one side of the second anode 130B in the first direction X. The first anode 130A, the second anode 130B, and the third anode 130C may be connected to the anode connection electrode 63 of the corresponding circuit unit through the anode via V30.
[0350] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the first anode 130A, the second anode 130B and the third anode 130C may include an anode main body and an anode connecting portion that are connected to each other. The shape of the anode main body may be rectangular, and the corners of the rectangle may be chamfered. The shape of the anode connecting portion may be block-shaped (such as a rectangle), and the anode connecting portion is connected to the anode connecting electrode 63 through the anode via V30.
[0351] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projections of the anode body portions of at least one first anode 130A and at least one second anode 130B on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of the first power line 61 and the second connecting line 82 on the substrate, or the orthographic projections of the anode body portions of at least one first anode 130A and at least one second anode 130B on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of the first power line 61 and the second constant voltage trace 92 on the substrate.
[0352] In an exemplary embodiment, an orthographic projection of an anode body portion of at least one third anode 130C on the substrate at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of one data signal line 70 and two first power lines 61 on the substrate, and in the first direction X, the data signal line 70 is disposed between the two first power lines 61.
[0353] In an exemplary embodiment, an anode groove 131 may be provided on the anode body of at least one third anode 130C. The anode groove 131 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the second direction Y and may be provided in a central region of the anode body of the third anode 130C in the first direction X. The orthographic projection of the anode groove 131 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the data signal line 70 on the substrate. That is, the anode body of the third anode 130C has a bifurcated structure, and the bifurcated position avoids the data signal line 70. This can effectively reduce the impact of data voltage jumps on the data signal line on the anode potential, thereby improving the display effect.
[0354] In an exemplary embodiment, the anode body portion of the third anode 130C may have a first length L1, and the anode groove 131 may have a second length L2.

[0357] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate. By setting data connection lines in the display area, the data lead lines in the binding area are connected to the data signal lines through the data connection lines, thereby realizing a FIP structure. This eliminates the need for fan-shaped oblique lines in the lead line area, effectively reducing the length of the lead line area, greatly reducing the width of the lower frame, and improving the screen-to-body ratio, which is conducive to achieving full-screen display. The present disclosure adopts a multi-plug 1 (such as 3 plugs 1) design for FIP routing, in which the second connection line is set in an insertion column between the repeating units. This can reduce the density of the longitudinal routing while reducing the width of the lower frame, reducing defects and improving the yield rate.
[0358] The present disclosure provides a first constant voltage line and a second constant voltage line for transmitting a first power signal or a second power signal within a display area, and forms a meshed connection structure for transmitting the first power signal or the second power signal. This effectively reduces the resistance of the first power signal or the second power line, effectively reduces the voltage drop of the first power signal or the second power signal, and achieves low power consumption. It also effectively improves the uniformity of the first power signal or the second power signal in the display substrate, effectively improving display uniformity, and improving display quality.
[0359] The present disclosure realizes the VSS inpixel structure by forming a mesh connection structure for transmitting the second power supply signal in the display area, which can greatly reduce the width of the constant voltage lead of the frame, greatly reduce the width of the left and right frames, improve the screen-to-body ratio, and facilitate the realization of full-screen display.
[0360] The present disclosure arranges the data connection line in the first area and the constant voltage line in the second area, so that the first area and the second area have basically the same routing structure. Different areas can achieve basically the same display effect under transmitted light and reflected light, effectively avoiding the poor appearance of the display substrate and improving the display quality.
[0361] The present disclosure provides a double-layer structure for the first initial signal line and the third initial signal line, which can effectively reduce the resistance of the first initial signal line and the third initial signal line, reduce the voltage drop of the first initial signal and the third initial signal, effectively improve the uniformity of the first initial signal and the third initial signal, effectively improve the display uniformity, and improve the display quality and display quality.
[0362] The present disclosure arranges multiple scanning signal lines in the third conductive layer, and the third scanning signal line has a double-layer structure, which can effectively reduce the resistance of the scanning signal line, reduce the voltage drop of the scanning signal, and improve the performance of the pixel driving circuit.
[0363] The present disclosure sets a repair line in the display area. When a defect occurs in the pixel driving circuit, the repair line can be connected to the light-emitting device separated from the pixel driving circuit to quickly repair the light-emitting device that cannot be illuminated, thereby effectively improving the yield.
[0364] The present disclosure sets the third anode as a bifurcated structure, and the bifurcated position avoids the data signal line, which can effectively reduce the influence of the data voltage jump on the data signal line on the anode potential and improve the display effect.
[0365] The preparation process disclosed in the present invention is well compatible with existing preparation processes, is simple to implement, easy to implement, has high production efficiency, low production cost, and high yield rate.

[0378] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first connecting line 81 or the first power supply line 91 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second initial signal line 42 on the substrate. Not only can the second initial signal line 42 with a constant voltage effectively shield the impact of the data voltage jump in the first connecting line 81 on the pixel driving circuit and reduce crosstalk, but it can also save wiring space as much as possible, which is conducive to achieving a higher resolution (PPI).

[0384] In an exemplary embodiment, the constant voltage connection line 93 may be in the shape of a straight line or a broken line, with the main portion extending along the second direction Y. The constant voltage connection line 93 may be disposed between the second connection line 82 and the adjacent data signal line 70, or the constant voltage connection line 93 may be disposed between the second power supply line 92 and the adjacent data signal line 70. By disposing the constant voltage connection line 93 between the second connection line 82 and the data signal line 70, the present disclosure can effectively avoid crosstalk of data signals.
[0385] In an exemplary embodiment, the second connection line 82 , the second power supply line 92 , and the constant voltage connection line 93 may be disposed in the same conductive layer and simultaneously formed through the same patterning process.
[0386] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one fourth connection block 94 may be provided on the constant voltage connection line 93. The fourth connection block 94 may be block-shaped (e.g., rectangular) and may be provided on one side of the constant voltage connection line 93 in the first direction X or on a side opposite to the first direction X, and connected to the constant voltage connection line 93. The fourth connection block 94 may be connected to the second initial signal line 42 via a via, thereby achieving interconnection between the second initial signal line 42 extending along the first direction X and the constant voltage connection line 93 extending along the second direction Y. The second initial signal line 42 and the constant voltage connection line 93 form a meshed interconnected structure for transmitting the second initial signal, which can effectively reduce the resistance of the second initial signal line, effectively reduce the voltage drop of the second initial signal, effectively improve the uniformity of the second initial signal, effectively improve display uniformity, and improve display quality and display quality.
[0387] In some possible embodiments, the constant voltage connection line 93 can be connected to the first initial signal line 41, thereby realizing the mutual connection between the first initial signal line 41 extending along the first direction X and the constant voltage connection line 93 extending along the second direction Y. The first initial signal line 41 and the constant voltage connection line 93 form a mesh connection structure for transmitting the first initial signal, which can effectively reduce the resistance of the first initial signal line, effectively reduce the voltage drop of the first initial signal, effectively improve the uniformity of the first initial signal, effectively improve the display uniformity, and improve the display quality and display quality.
[0388] In other possible embodiments, a constant voltage connection line 93 inserted in a column can be connected to the third initial signal line 43, thereby realizing the interconnection of the third initial signal line 43 extending along the first direction X and the constant voltage connection line 93 extending along the second direction Y.

The fifth connection block 95 may be connected to the sixth connection electrode 56 via a via. Since the first active connection line 10 is connected to the first initial signal line 41, the first initial signal line 41 extending along the first direction X and the second constant-voltage trace 92 extending along the second direction Y are interconnected. The first initial signal line 41 and the second constant-voltage trace 92 form a meshed connection structure for transmitting the first initial signal.

[0402] Figure 25 This is a schematic structural diagram of another display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 In the exemplary embodiment, this embodiment shows the main structure of the substrate and 9A to 9D The illustrated embodiments are substantially the same, except that the second constant voltage trace 92 is connected to the second initial signal line 42 .
[0403] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one fifth connection block 95 may be further provided on at least one second constant-voltage trace 92. The fifth connection block 95 may be block-shaped (e.g., rectangular) and may be provided on a side of the second constant-voltage trace 92 opposite to the first direction X, and connected to the second constant-voltage trace 92. The fifth connection block 95 may be connected to the second initial signal line 42 via a via, thereby interconnecting the second initial signal line 42 extending along the first direction X and the second constant-voltage trace 92 extending along the second direction Y. The second initial signal line 42 and the second constant-voltage trace 92 form a meshed connection structure for transmitting the second initial signal.
[0404] In some possible implementations, the first constant voltage trace 91 or the second constant voltage trace 92 may extend to the frame area and be connected to a lead that transmits the second initial signal, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
[0405] Figure 26 This is a schematic structural diagram of another display substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 In the exemplary embodiment, this embodiment shows the main structure of the substrate and 9A to 9D The illustrated embodiments are substantially the same, except that the second constant voltage trace 92 is connected to the third initial signal line 43 .
[0406] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one fifth connection block 95 may be further provided on at least one second constant-voltage trace 92. The fifth connection block 95 may be block-shaped (e.g., rectangular) and may be provided on a side of the second constant-voltage trace 92 opposite to the first direction X, and connected to the second constant-voltage trace 92. The fifth connection block 95 may be connected to the third initial signal line 43 via a via, thereby interconnecting the third initial signal line 43 extending along the first direction X and the second constant-voltage trace 92 extending along the second direction Y. The third initial signal line 43 and the second constant-voltage trace 92 form a meshed connection structure for transmitting the third initial signal.
[0407] In some possible implementations, the first constant voltage trace 91 or the second constant voltage trace 92 may extend to the frame area and be connected to a lead that transmits the third initial signal, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
[0408] In some possible implementations, Figures 24 to 26 In the illustrated embodiment, a second constant voltage trace 92 is provided to be connected to the first constant voltage trace 91 through a via, and the initial signal line (the first initial signal line 41, the second initial signal line 42 or the third initial signal line 43) extending along the first direction X and the first constant voltage trace 91 and the second constant voltage trace 92 extending along the second direction Y form a mesh connection structure for transmitting the initial signal.
[0409] In some other possible implementations, Figures 24 to 26 In the illustrated embodiment, there is no connection between the first constant voltage trace 91 and the second constant voltage trace 92, and the first constant voltage trace 91 and the second constant voltage trace 92 respectively transmit different constant voltage signals. For example, the first constant voltage trace 91 can transmit the first power signal or the second power signal, and the second constant voltage trace 92 connected to the initial signal line (the first initial signal line 41, the second initial signal line 42, or the third initial signal line 43) can transmit the initial signal.
[0410] In some other possible implementations, Figures 24 to 26 In the illustrated embodiment, a portion of the second constant voltage trace 92 is connected to a portion of the first constant voltage trace 91 through a via, while another portion of the first constant voltage trace 91 is not connected to another portion of the second constant voltage trace 92. The two portions of the second constant voltage trace 92 transmit different constant voltage signals respectively.
[0411] For example, the second constant voltage trace 92 in the same insertion column as the second connection line 82 can be connected to the first power line or the second power line, and connected to the first constant voltage trace 91 separately arranged in the repeating unit row through a via, forming a meshed connectivity structure for transmitting the first power signal or the second power signal. The second constant voltage trace 92 separately arranged in the insertion column can be connected to the initial signal line (the first initial signal line 41, the second initial signal line 42 or the third initial signal line 43) to form a meshed connectivity structure for transmitting the initial signal. This connection method can realize the formation of different constant potential traces in a network, make full use of the wiring space, and significantly reduce power consumption.
[0412] For another example, a first constant voltage trace 91 provided on the same layer as the first connection line 81 can transmit a first power signal or a second power signal, a portion of a second constant voltage trace 92 provided on the same layer as the second connection line 82 can be connected to the first constant voltage trace 91, and another portion of the second constant voltage trace 92 can be connected to the first initial signal line 41 or the third initial signal line 43 located in the second conductive layer. The two portions of the second constant voltage trace 92 can be alternately arranged in the first direction X. This connection method enables routing of different film layers, increases available space, enables more potential grids, and reduces power consumption.
