Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to, but is not limited to, the field of display technology, and in particular to a display substrate and a display device. Background Art
[0002] Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are active light-emitting display devices. They offer advantages such as active illumination, ultra-thinness, wide viewing angles, high brightness, high contrast, low power consumption, extremely fast response times, lightweight design, customizable form factors, and flexible displays. They are becoming a highly promising next-generation display technology. Active Matrix (AM) OLEDs are current-driven devices that use independent thin film transistors (TFTs) to control each circuit unit, allowing each unit to emit light continuously and independently.
[0003] With the continuous development of display technology, OLED technology is increasingly being used in transparent displays. Transparent display is an important personalized display field in display technology. It refers to the display of images in a transparent state. The viewer can see not only the image in the display device, but also the scene behind the display device, which can realize virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and 3D display functions. Currently, OLED transparent display devices are mainly single-sided display. Utility Model Content

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.
[0072] 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.
[0073] 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.

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.
[0075] 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.
[0076] 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.
[0077] 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.
[0078] 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.
[0079] 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°.
[0080] 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."

[0082] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly defined and allows for process and measurement errors.
[0083] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device. Figure 1As shown, an OLED display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, and a pixel array.

In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller may provide grayscale values and control signals suitable for the specifications of the data driver to the data driver, and may provide a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. suitable for the specifications of the scan driver to the scan driver. The data driver can generate data voltages to be provided to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ... and Dn using the grayscale values and control signals received from the timing controller, where n can be a natural number. For example, the data driver can sample the grayscale values using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values to the data signal lines D1 to Dn in units of pixel rows. The scan driver can generate scan signals to be provided to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ... and Sm by receiving a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. from the timing controller, where m can be a natural number. For example, the scan driver can be constructed in the form of a shift register and can generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting the scan start signal provided in the form of a conduction level pulse to the next level circuit under the control of the clock signal. In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel array can be provided on a display substrate.

Deposition can be achieved by any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition; coating can be achieved by any one or more of spraying, spin coating, and inkjet printing; and etching can be achieved by any one or more of dry etching and wet etching, which are not limited in the present disclosure. "Thin film" refers to a thin film made by depositing, coating, or other processes on a substrate using a certain material. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire production process, the "thin film" can also be called a "layer."

The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern." As used in this disclosure, "A and B are disposed in the same layer" means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer refers to the dimension of the film layer in a direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A contains the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary of the orthographic projection of A, or that the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

Since the first connection block 41-1 is connected to the first connection electrode 41, and the first connection electrode 41 is connected to the first electrode plate 11 via the shielding electrode 16, the first electrode plate 11 has a second node potential, and thus the first anode connection electrode 54 in the bottom emission circuit unit has a second node potential.

Because the fourth electrode plate 14 is connected to the second region of the first active layer, the twenty-first connection electrode 61 interconnects the second electrode of the first transistor T1, the gate electrode of the second transistor T2, and the fourth electrode plate 14, forming a first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit in the top emission circuit unit. The twenty-first connection electrode 61 and the fourth electrode plate 14 in the top emission circuit unit have a first node potential. The twenty-first connection electrode 61 may serve as the first node electrode in the top emission circuit unit of the present disclosure.
[0240] In exemplary embodiments, the shape of the twenty-second connection electrode 62 may be a bar shape extending along the second direction Y, and the twenty-second connection electrode 62 may be connected to the second region of the second active layer through the twenty-first via hole V21 .

[0245] In an exemplary embodiment, the second anode connection electrode 64 may be in a block shape (e.g., a rectangular shape) and may be connected to the second connection block 42-1 via a twenty-sixth via hole V26. Since the second connection block 42-1 is connected to the second connection electrode 42, and the second connection electrode 42 is connected to the third electrode plate 13, and the third electrode plate 13 has a second node potential, the second anode connection electrode 64 in the top emission circuit unit has a second node potential.

When the light passes through the irregularly shaped light-transmitting area, the positions at which the diffraction stripes are generated are different and the directions in which the diffraction stripes are generated are different. Therefore, the diffraction stripes generated by the light will not diffuse in one direction, but will diffuse in multiple directions, thereby greatly weakening the diffraction effect, avoiding the blurring of objects behind the screen, and improving the transparent display effect.
[0247] In an exemplary embodiment, the third conductive layer in the repeating unit may further include at least one first auxiliary electrode 75 and at least one auxiliary connecting bar 75 - 1 .

When light passes through the irregularly shaped light-transmitting area, the positions at which diffraction stripes are generated are different, and the directions in which diffraction stripes are generated are different. Therefore, the diffraction stripes generated by the light do not diffuse in one direction, but diffuse in multiple directions, thereby greatly weakening the diffraction effect, avoiding the blurring of objects behind the screen, and improving the transparent display effect.

The fourth insulating layer in the thirty-first via hole V31 is etched away to expose the surface of the first anode connecting electrode 54. The thirty-first via hole V31 is configured to connect the first anode in the subsequently formed bottom emission circuit unit to the first anode connecting electrode 54 through the via hole.

[0261] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one first anode 81 may include at least a main portion 81-1 and a connecting portion 81-2. The main portion 81-1 may be in a block shape (e.g., rectangular) and may be disposed on a flat layer of the display unit 110. The connecting portion 81-2 may be in a strip shape extending along the first direction X and may be disposed on one side of the main portion 81-1 in the first direction X. The first end of the connecting portion 81-2 is connected to the main portion 81-1, and the second end of the connecting portion 81-2 extends to the light-transmitting unit 120 and is connected to the first anode connecting electrode 54 through a thirty-first via hole V31. Since the first anode connecting electrode 54 has a second node potential, the first anode 81 is connected to the second node N2 of the pixel driving circuit in the bottom emission circuit unit.
[0262] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one bottom-emission light emitting unit, the main body portion 81 - 1 and the connection portion 81 - 2 may be an integral structure connected to each other.
[0263] In an exemplary embodiment, the second transparent conductive layer of the repeating unit may further include three second anodes 82 , and the second anode 82 may serve as one anode in the top-emission light emitting unit.
[0264] In an exemplary embodiment, the at least one second anode 82 may include at least a first sub-anode 82-1, a second sub-anode 82-2, and a sub-connecting electrode 82-3. The first sub-anode 82-1 and the second sub-anode 82-2 may be block-shaped (e.g., rectangular) and may be disposed on a flat layer of the display unit 110. The first sub-anode 82-1 and the second sub-anode 82-2 may be disposed sequentially along the second direction Y, and the first sub-anode 82-1 and the second sub-anode 82-2 may be isolated from each other.
[0265] In an exemplary embodiment, the main portion of the sub-connecting electrode 82-3 may be disposed on the fourth insulating layer of the light-transmitting unit 120. The sub-connecting electrode 71-3 may be shaped like an "F," with the end of the first horizontal strip connected to the first sub-anode 82-1, the end of the second horizontal strip connected to the second sub-anode 82-2, and the end of the vertical strip away from the horizontal strip connected to the second anode connecting electrode 64 via the thirty-second via hole V32. Because the second anode connecting electrode 64 has a second node potential, it connects the second anode 82 to the second node N2 of the pixel driving circuit in the top emission circuit unit.
[0266] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one top-emitting light emitting unit, the first sub-anode 82 - 1 , the second sub-anode 82 - 2 , and the sub-connecting electrode 82 - 3 may be an integral structure connected to each other.
[0267] In an exemplary embodiment, when a bright spot defect occurs on the display substrate, the first horizontal strip or the second horizontal strip can be cut off by laser cutting, so that one of the first sub-anode 82-1 and the second sub-anode 82-2 is connected to the second node N2, and the other is floated, thereby repairing the bright spot defect.
[0268] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the thirty-first via hole V31 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the main body 81-1 of the first anode 81 on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the thirty-second via hole V32 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first sub-anode 82-1 and the second sub-anode 82-2 of the second anode 82 on the substrate. This not only improves the success rate of repairing bright spot defects and avoids the impact of the repair on the pixel driving circuit, but also ensures the flatness of the first anode and the second anode, improves the light output quality of the light-emitting device, and improves the display effect.
[0269] In an exemplary embodiment, the three first anodes 81 in a repeating unit can be arranged in a vertical manner, the first first anode 81 is connected to the pixel driving circuit in the first bottom emission circuit unit Q1_B, the second first anode 81 is connected to the pixel driving circuit in the second bottom emission circuit unit Q2_B, and the third first anode 81 is connected to the pixel driving circuit in the third bottom emission circuit unit Q3_B.

[0271] In an exemplary embodiment, the three first anodes 81 in a repeating unit can be arranged on one side of the three second anodes 82 in the first direction X, that is, the first light-emitting unit group is arranged on one side of the second light-emitting unit group in the first direction X. In some possible implementations, the arrangement of the first anodes and the second anodes can be adjusted according to actual needs, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0272] In an exemplary embodiment, since the bottom-emission process essentially eliminates the dark spot issue, and to maximize the aperture ratio of the bottom-emission circuit unit, the first anode is a monolithic structure and lacks a repair structure. Since the top-emission process is prone to dark spot defects, the second anode is provided with a repair structure. The second anode is divided into two sub-anodes with separate structures, allowing for dark spot repair to improve product yield. The proposed solution of not providing a repair structure for the bottom-emission light-emitting unit and providing a repair structure for the top-emission light-emitting unit fully considers process capabilities and aperture ratio, and can achieve optimized product yield and maximized aperture ratio.

[0281] In an exemplary embodiment, the third auxiliary electrode 77 is configured to be connected to a subsequently formed cathode, thereby achieving a connection between the second power line 72 and the cathode. Considering the voltage drop (IR drop) problem that exists in large-scale transparent displays, the present disclosure provides a second power line that transmits a second voltage signal in each repeating unit. The second power line is connected to the cathode in the subsequently formed light-emitting structure layer through the auxiliary cathode. This can effectively reduce the voltage drop of the cathode, effectively solve the voltage drop problem that exists in large-scale transparent displays, and ensure display uniformity.
[0282] In an exemplary embodiment, the auxiliary cathode can adopt an isolation column (RIB) structure, and the cross-sectional shape of the auxiliary cathode can be an inverted trapezoid or an "I" shape, so that the subsequently formed organic light-emitting layer can be disconnected at the side edge of the auxiliary cathode to form an isolated and isolated organic light-emitting block, which can effectively avoid the interference of the organic light-emitting block on the outgoing light, improve the quality of the outgoing light, and help improve the display quality.
