[0117] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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. Unless there is a conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits detailed descriptions of some known functions and known components. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only involve structures related to the embodiments of the present disclosure. Other structures can refer to the general design
[0118] 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 length and spacing of the various signal lines along the first direction 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.
[0119] 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.
[0120] 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.
[0121] 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.
[0122] 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.
[0123] 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" may be interchanged.
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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°.
[0126] 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."
[0127] In this specification, the term "same-layer arrangement" refers to a structure formed by patterning two (or more) structures using the same patterning process. The materials of these structures can be the same or different. For example, the precursor materials for forming the multiple structures arranged in the same layer can be the same, and the materials of the final structures can be the same or different.
[0128] 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.

Figure 1 As shown, the display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a gate driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is respectively connected to the data driver and the gate driver. The data driver is respectively connected to a plurality of data signal lines (D1 to Dn).

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.

The data driver may use the grayscale values and control signals received from the timing controller to generate data voltages to be provided to the data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., and Dn. For example, the data driver may sample the grayscale values using the clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values to the data signal lines D1 to Dn in units of pixel rows, where n may be a natural number.
[0131] In an exemplary embodiment, the gate driver may generate a scan signal to be provided to the gate lines G1, G2, G3, ... to Gm by receiving a clock signal, a gate start signal, etc. from a timing controller. For example, the scan driver may sequentially provide a scan signal having an on-level pulse to the gate lines G1 to Gm. For example, the gate driver may be configured in the form of a shift register and may sequentially transmit a scan start signal provided in the form of an on-level pulse to a next-level circuit under the control of a clock signal to generate a scan signal, and m may be a natural number.

At least one of the plurality of pixel units P includes a first subpixel P1 that emits a first color light, a second subpixel P2 that emits a second color light, and a third subpixel P3 that emits a third color light. The first subpixel P1, the second subpixel P2, and the third subpixel P3 each include a pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting device.

The pixel driving circuits are configured to receive a data voltage transmitted by the data signal line under the control of the gate line and output a corresponding current to the light-emitting device. The light-emitting devices in the first subpixel P1, the second subpixel P2, and the third subpixel P3 are respectively connected to the pixel driving circuit of the subpixel.

When some of the multiple transistors in a pixel driving circuit are LTPS thin-film transistors, and some of the multiple transistors in a pixel driving circuit are LTPO thin-film transistors, the display substrate where the pixel driving circuit is located is called a low-temperature polysilicon and oxide semiconductor combined display substrate.

[0291] In an exemplary embodiment, the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 is greater than or equal to 0.3 PF. The capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 is relatively large to ensure the stability of the cascade signal output by the shift register.
[0292] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the area of the third capacitor C3 is larger than the area of the second capacitor C2.

Among them, the first connecting section 102A extends along the first direction D1, and its orthographic projection on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one signal line among the fifth clock signal line CLK5, the sixth clock signal line CLK6 and the second low-level power line VL2 on the substrate; the second connecting section 102B extends along the second direction D2, one of the multiple first branch sections 102C extends along the first direction D1, and the multiple first branch sections 102C are arranged along the second direction D2; the third connecting section 104A extends along the second direction D2, one of the multiple second branch sections 104B extends along the first direction D1, and the multiple second branch sections 104B are arranged along the second direction D2.

At least one of the plurality of first branch segments 102C does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the third connecting segment 104A and at least one of the plurality of second branch segments 104B on the substrate. The orthographic projection of at least one of the plurality of first branch segments 102C on the substrate is located between the orthographic projections of at least two of the plurality of second branch segments 104B on the substrate. The arrangement of the control electrode and the second electrode of the tenth transistor in the present disclosure can reduce the overlapping area between the second electrode and the control electrode of the tenth transistor, can improve the impact of noise on the output of the shift register, and can enhance the reliability of the shift register.

[0297] The following is an illustrative explanation of the preparation process of the display substrate. The "patterning process" mentioned in the present disclosure includes processes such as coating photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, and stripping photoresist for metal materials, inorganic materials, or transparent conductive materials, and includes processes such as coating organic materials, mask exposure, and development for organic materials. Deposition can be carried out by any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition, coating can be carried out by any one or more of spraying, spin coating, and inkjet printing, and etching can be carried out by any one or more of dry etching and wet etching, and the present disclosure does not limit this. "Thin film" refers to a thin film made by deposition, coating, or other processes on a substrate of 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". If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire production process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. 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.
