[0053] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all of its components.
[0054] In the related art, the data line connects multiple sub-pixels located in the same column, and the data line is used to provide data signals to the sub-pixels connected thereto. The source driver circuit is used to provide data signals to each data line. In addition, the source driver circuit can be connected to other driver chips through the main flexible circuit board and the connector. The same data line needs to provide data signals to the red sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel respectively. The data signal voltage must be smaller than the data signal voltage required by the red sub-pixel. When the display panel scans row by row along the column direction, the voltage on the data line needs to jump between the data signal voltage required by the red sub-pixel and the data signal voltage required by the blue sub-pixel. Larger voltage fluctuations on the data line will increase the power consumption of the source driver circuit.

[0063] Optionally, refer to Figure 2, the multiple data lines 120 include a first data line 121 and a second data line 122.

The second data line 122 includes the n+4th data line, and the n+4th data line is electrically connected to the n+2th pixel driving circuit column and the second pixel driving circuit 112 in the n+4th pixel driving circuit column, where n is a positive integer. In an embodiment of the present utility model, the first pixel driving circuit 111 in the current pixel driving circuit column 100 and the previous pixel driving circuit column 100 are connected to the first data line 121 at the position of the current pixel driving circuit column 100. The second pixel driving circuit 112 in the current pixel driving circuit column 100 and the previous pixel driving circuit column 100 are connected to the second data line 122 at the location of the current pixel driving circuit column 100 .
[0064] For example, refer to Figure 2 The plurality of first data lines 121 include an n+2th data line and an n+6th data line. The n+6th data line is electrically connected to the n+4th pixel driving circuit column and the first pixel driving circuit 111 in the n+6th pixel driving circuit column. The plurality of second data lines 122 include an nth data line and an n+4th data line.

[0065] Along the first direction X, two data lines 120 are arranged between two adjacent pixel drive circuit columns 100. The plurality of data lines 120 include a first data line 121, a second data line 122, and a third data line 123.

[0066] Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of a top view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 The display panel further includes a first additional data line 210. The first additional data line 210 is located on a side of the (n+4)th data line away from the (n+2)th data line. The first additional data line 210 is connected to the first pixel driving circuit 111 or the second pixel driving circuit 112 in the last pixel driving circuit column 100. Thus, the first additional data line 210 provides a data signal to the first pixel driving circuit 111 or the second pixel driving circuit 112 in the last pixel driving circuit column 100.
[0067] For example, refer to Figure 3 The plurality of data lines 120 and the first additional data line 210 are arranged along the first direction X. The first additional data line 210 is located on a side of each data line 120 facing the first direction X. The first additional data line 210 and the data line 120 can be provided in the same layer or in different layers. The first additional data line 210 can be provided in the display area or the non-display area.
[0068] It is understood that the number of pixel driving circuits 110 connected to the first additional data line 210 and the first data line 120 is less than the number of pixel driving circuits 110 connected to the second through last data lines 120. To balance the loads of the first additional data line 210, the first data line 120, and the second through last data lines 120, an additional load may be connected to the first additional data line 210 and the first data line 120. For example, a dummy pixel driving circuit may be connected to the first additional data line 210 and the first data line 120.
[0069] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a top view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 , the multiple data lines 120 include a first data line 121 and a second data line 122. The first data line 121 includes the n+2th data line, and the n+2th data line is electrically connected to the first pixel driving circuit 111 in the n+2th pixel driving circuit column and the n+4th pixel driving circuit column. The second data line 122 includes the nth data line, and the nth data line is electrically connected to the second pixel driving circuit 112 in the nth pixel driving circuit column and the n+2th pixel driving circuit column, where n is a positive integer. In an embodiment of the present utility model, the first pixel driving circuit 111 in the current pixel driving circuit column 100 and the subsequent pixel driving circuit column 100 is connected to the first data line 121 at the position of the current pixel driving circuit column 100. The second pixel driving circuit 112 in the current pixel driving circuit column 100 and the subsequent pixel driving circuit column 100 is connected to the second data line 122 at the position of the current pixel driving circuit column 100.

The second additional data line 220 is connected to the first pixel driving circuit 111 or the second pixel driving circuit 112 in the first pixel driving circuit column 100. Thus, the second additional data line 220 provides a data signal to the first pixel driving circuit 111 or the second pixel driving circuit 112 in the first pixel driving circuit column 100.
[0071] For example, refer to Figure 5 The second additional data line 220 and the plurality of data lines 120 are arranged along the first direction X. The second additional data line 220 is located on a side of the data lines 120 that faces the opposite direction of the first direction X. The second additional data line 220 and the data lines 120 can be arranged in the same layer or in different layers. The second additional data line 220 can be arranged in the display area or the non-display area.
[0072] It is understood that the number of pixel driving circuits 110 connected to the second additional data line 220 and the last data line 120 is less than the number of pixel driving circuits 110 connected to the first through second-to-last data lines 120. To balance the loads on the second additional data line 220, the last data line 120, and the first through second-to-last data lines 120, additional loads may be connected to the second additional data line 220 and the last data line 120. For example, dummy pixel driving circuits may be connected to the second additional data line 220 and the last data line 120.

The second data line 122 includes the nth data line, and the nth data line is electrically connected to the nth pixel driving circuit column and the second pixel driving circuit 112 in the n+2th pixel driving circuit column, where n is a positive integer. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first pixel driving circuit 111 in the current pixel driving circuit column 100 and the previous pixel driving circuit column 100 is connected to the first data line 121 at the position of the current pixel driving circuit column 100. The second pixel driving circuit 112 in the current pixel driving circuit column 100 and the subsequent pixel driving circuit column 100 is connected to the second data line 122 at the position of the current pixel driving circuit column 100.

Taking the second data line 122 as a reference, after the second connecting line 142 is electrically connected to the second data line 122, it extends in a direction away from the second connecting line 142. The first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are arranged in the same direction. For example, the first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are both arranged in a direction opposite to the first direction.

The first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are arranged at the same position relative to the sub-pixel area 400. As a result, the first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 have similar or identical coupling effects on each node or thin film transistor 21 in the pixel driving circuit 110.
[0104] For example, refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 22 and Figure 23 The first connection line 141 includes a first connection line main portion 1411 and a first connection line bend portion 1412 connected to each other. The first end of the first connection line main portion 1411 is electrically connected to the first data line 121, and the second end of the first connection line main portion 1411 is electrically connected to the first end of the first connection line bend portion 1412.

[0105] The second connection line 142 includes a second connection line main portion 1421 and a second connection line bend portion 1422. The first end of the second connection line main portion 1421 is electrically connected to the second data line 122, and the second end of the second connection line main portion 1421 is electrically connected to the first end of the second connection line bend portion 1422.

In the same sub-pixel region 400, along the second direction Y, the second connection line main portion 1421 is located on the side of the second connection line bend portion 1422 away from the driving transistor T3.
[0106] Along the first direction X, the first connecting line main portion 1411 and the second connecting line main portion 1421 are arranged collinearly. The first connecting line main portion 1411 and the second connecting line main portion 1421 are arranged on the same straight line. Along the first direction X, the first connecting line bent portion 1412 and the second connecting line bent portion 1422 overlap. The projections of the first connecting line bent portion 1412 and the second connecting line bent portion 1422 along the first direction X overlap. As a feasible embodiment, the first connecting line bent portion 1412 and the second connecting line bent portion 1422 are arranged in parallel on the same layer.
[0107] The first connecting wire 141 and the second connecting wire 142 are located in the same film layer and extend along the first direction X. The first connecting wire bend 1412 is disposed away from the adjacent second connecting wire main body 1421. The second connecting wire bend 1422 is disposed away from the adjacent first connecting wire main body 1411. This prevents short circuiting between the first connecting wire 141 and the second connecting wire 142.

Taking the second data line 122 as a reference, the second connecting line 142 is electrically connected to the second data line 122 and then extends in a direction away from the second connecting line 142. The first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are arranged in the same direction. Both the first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are arranged in the first direction X.
[0110] In some embodiments, the data line 120 and other traces may be disposed in a film layer above the third metal layer M3. The process of disposing the data line 120 and other traces in the third metal layer M3 is called a 2SD process.

Figure 33 The second metal layer M2 in Figure 31 As shown, Figure 33 The third metal layer M3 in Figure 32 shown. Figure 33 The pixel driving circuit shown corresponds to Figure 2 The simplified circuit shown.
[0117] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 32 and Figure 33 The direction in which the end of the first connecting line 141 is away from the first data line 121 is the same as the direction in which the end of the second connecting line 142 is away from the second data line 122.

Figure 36 The second metal layer M2 in Figure 34 As shown, Figure 36 The third metal layer M3 in Figure 35 shown. Figure 36 The pixel driving circuit shown corresponds to Figure 4 The simplified circuit shown.
[0119] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 35 and Figure 36 The direction in which the end of the first connection line 141 is away from the first data line 121 is the same as the direction in which the end of the second connection line 142 is away from the second data line 122. The first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are arranged in the same direction. The first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are both arranged in the first direction X.
[0120] Optionally, refer to Figure 32-Figure 36 The first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 connecting the pixel driving circuits 110 in the same pixel driving circuit row 300 are vertically offset along the second direction Y. The main portion of the first connecting line 141 and the main portion of the second connecting line 142 are not arranged on the same straight line. The first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are located on the same film layer and extend along the first direction X. The first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are staggered along the second direction Y. This prevents short circuits between the first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142.
[0121] For example, refer to Figure 32 Along the second direction Y, the distance between the first connection line 141 and the second sub-second reset signal transmission line VR22 is a first distance, and the distance between the second connection line 142 and the second sub-second reset signal transmission line VR22 is a second distance.

Along the second direction Y, the horizontal constant voltage line is located between adjacent pixel drive circuit rows 300. Along the second direction Y, the first connection line 141 is located on the side of the extension line of the second connection line 142 away from the horizontal constant voltage line. The first distance is greater than the second distance. As a result, the first connection line 141 avoids the narrow space between the second connection line 142 and the horizontal constant voltage line, avoiding short circuit between the first connection line 141, the second connection line 142 and the horizontal constant voltage line. On the other hand, the first connection line 141 is arranged on the side of the second connection line 142 away from the horizontal constant voltage line, and the additional first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 can be wired without changing the original position of the horizontal constant voltage line.

The second electrode of the data write transistor T2 is located in the first semiconductor layer POLY. The third via 153 includes a via connection line connecting the fourth metal layer M4 to the third metal layer M3, a via connection line connecting the third metal layer M3 to the second metal layer M2, and a via connection line connecting the second metal layer M2 to the first semiconductor layer POLY. In the same sub-pixel area 400, along the second direction Y, the third via 153 is located between the second connection line 142 and the horizontal constant voltage line.
[0125] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 15 and Figure 19 The direction in which the end of the first connection line 141 is away from the first data line 121 is opposite to the direction in which the end of the second connection line 142 is away from the second data line 122. The first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are arranged opposite each other. For example, the first connection line 141 is arranged in a first direction, and the second connection line 142 is arranged in a direction opposite to the first direction. In other embodiments, the first connection line 141 is arranged in a direction opposite to the first direction, and the second connection line 142 is arranged in the first direction.
[0126] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 15 and Figure 19 The first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 connecting the pixel driving circuits 110 in the same pixel driving circuit row 300 are arranged along the second direction Y. In the same sub-pixel region 400, the first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 overlap along the second direction Y, and the second connection line 142 and the first connection line 141 are arranged sequentially along the second direction Y.
[0127] For example, refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 15 and Figure 19 , the first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are arranged in the same sub-pixel area group. Along the first direction X, the sub-pixel area group where the connecting line 140 is set and the sub-pixel area group where the connecting line 140 is not set are arranged alternately. Take the third pixel driving circuit row 300 as an example. The connecting line 140 is not set in the area where the first pixel driving circuit 110 and the second pixel driving circuit 110 are located. The first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are set in the area where the third pixel driving circuit 110 and the fourth pixel driving circuit 110 are located. The connecting line 140 is not set in the area where the fifth pixel driving circuit 110 and the sixth pixel driving circuit 110 are located.
[0128] For example, refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 15 and Figure 19 The transverse constant voltage line (eg, the second sub-second reset signal transmission line VR22), the first connection line 141, and the second connection line 142 are disposed on the same layer. Along the second direction Y, the first connection line 141 is located between the second connection line 142 and the transverse constant voltage line.
[0129] In the 2SD process, the first connection line 141 includes a first connection line main portion 1411 and a first connection line bend portion 1412, which are connected to each other. The first end of the first connection line main portion 1411 is electrically connected to the first data line 121, and the second end of the first connection line main portion 1411 is electrically connected to the first end of the first connection line bend portion 1412. The second end of the first connection line bend portion 1412 is electrically connected to the first pixel driving circuit 111. The length of the first connection line main portion 1411 is greater than the length of the first connection line bend portion 1412. The first connection line main portion 1411 is the portion of the first connection line 141 that extends along the first direction X. To avoid short circuiting with the fourth via 154, the first connection line bend portion 1412 is bent relative to the first connection line main portion 1411 toward a side away from the driving transistor T3. In the same sub-pixel region 400 , along the second direction Y, the distance between the first connection line main portion 1411 and the second connection line 142 is smaller than the distance between the first connection line bent portion 1412 and the second connection line 142 .
[0130] For example, refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 28 and Figure 30 In the 3SD process, the first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are both straight. There is no need to provide a bend in the first connection line 141 or the second connection line 142. This reduces the difficulty of designing and routing the first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142.
[0131] Optionally, refer to Figure 2-Figure 6 ,as well as Figures 15-36 The connection line 140 overlaps with the second pixel driving circuit column 102. The pixel driving circuit 110 and the data line 120 connected thereto span one second pixel driving circuit column 102. In other words, the connection line 140 spans one second pixel driving circuit column 102.
[0132] For example, refer to Figure 2 The (n+2)th data line is electrically connected to the first pixel driving circuit 111 in the n-th pixel driving circuit column. The (n+2)th data line is located at the position of the (n+2)th pixel driving circuit column. There is a second pixel driving circuit column 102 between the (n+2)th data line and the first pixel driving circuit 111 in the n-th pixel driving circuit column.
[0133] Optionally, refer to Figures 15-36The film layer where the connecting line 140 is located is located between the film layer where the data line 120 is located and the substrate 200. Therefore, the existing film layer between the film layer where the data line 120 is located and the substrate 200 can be used to form the connecting line 140, eliminating the need for a new film layer for the connecting line 140. This does not increase the thickness or cost of the display panel.
[0134] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 15 and Figure 19 The pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor T3 and a data writing transistor T2. The first electrode of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3. The display panel includes a first scan line SP. The first scan line SP extends along a first direction X and is electrically connected to the gate electrode of the data writing transistor T2. The first scan line SP is located in the first metal layer M1. The portion where the first scan line SP overlaps with the semiconductor trace in the first semiconductor layer POLY forms the gate electrode of the data writing transistor T2.
[0135] Combined with reference Figure 13 、 Figure 15 and Figure 19 The display panel also includes a jumper 161, which is connected to the gate of the drive transistor T3 and the first node N1. The jumper 161 is connected to the first electrode of the compensation transistor T4 in the second semiconductor layer IGZO through a via, and to the second electrode of the first reset transistor T5 in the second semiconductor layer IGZO. The jumper 161 overlaps with the first scan line SP, and the film layer where the first scan line SP is located is located between the film layer where the jumper 161 is located and the substrate 200. The connecting line 140 and the jumper 161 are provided on the same layer. As a result, the connecting line 140 and the jumper 161 can be formed simultaneously in the same process, using the same process and materials, saving process steps.
[0136] Exemplarily, the first scan line SP is located in the first metal layer M1. The jumper line 161 and the connecting line 140 are located in the second metal layer M2. The impedance of the second metal layer M2 is lower than that of the first metal layer M1, and the second metal layer M2 has better conductivity than the first metal layer M1. Placing the connecting line 140 in the second metal layer M2 can reduce the voltage drop across the connecting line 140 and improve the signal transmission capability of the connecting line 140. It should be noted that in other embodiments, other film layers can also be used to form the connecting line 140. For example, the connecting line 140 can be disposed in the first sub-gate metal layer MC or the second sub-gate metal layer MG.
[0137] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 15 and Figure 19The connecting line 140 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the data write transistor T2. The second electrode of the data write transistor T2 is located in the first semiconductor layer POLY, which is located between the film layer where the first scan line SP is located and the substrate 200. The area where the semiconductor trace in the first semiconductor layer POLY overlaps with the first scan line SP forms the first channel layer 2021 of the data write transistor T2. The semiconductor trace connected to the first channel layer 2021 of the data write transistor T2 is heavily doped to improve its conductivity. In other words, the semiconductor trace connected to the first channel layer 2021 of the data write transistor T2 is a connecting trace used to connect various thin film transistors 21.
[0138] For example, refer to Figure 19 The second data line 122 in the third metal layer M3 is connected to the second connection line 142 in the second metal layer M2 through the fourth via 154. The second connection line 142 extends in a direction opposite to the first direction X. The second connection line 142 passes through the via and is connected from the second metal layer M2 to the second electrode of the data write transistor T2 in the first semiconductor layer POLY.
[0139] Optionally, refer to Figures 27-30 , the pixel driving circuit 110 includes a driving transistor T3 and a data writing transistor T2, and the first electrode of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3. The display panel also includes a first scanning line SP and a jumper 161. The first scanning line SP extends along the first direction X, and the first scanning line SP is electrically connected to the gate of the data writing transistor T2. The jumper 161 is connected to the gate of the driving transistor T3, and the jumper 161 overlaps with the first scanning line SP. The film layer where the first scanning line SP is located is located between the film layer where the jumper 161 is located and the substrate 200. The connecting line 140 is located between the film layer where the jumper 161 is located and the film layer where the data line 120 is located. The jumper 161 is located in the second metal layer M2. The second metal layer M2 is provided with a large number of vias and bridge wiring. The wiring space in the second metal layer M2 is relatively narrow. In the case of Figure 28 In the 3SD process shown, the connection line 140 is set in the film layer between the second metal layer M2 and the film layer where the data line 120 is located. The connection line 140 does not occupy the wiring space in the second metal layer M2, thereby reducing the wiring difficulty in the second metal layer M2.
[0140] For example, refer to Figures 27-30, the first scan line SP is located in the first metal layer M1. The jumper line 161 is located in the second metal layer M2. The connecting line 140 is located in the third metal layer M3. The data line 120 is located in the fourth metal layer M4. The impedance of the third metal layer M3 is lower than that of the first metal layer M1, and the third metal layer M3 has better conductivity than the first metal layer M1. Setting the connecting line 140 in the third metal layer M3 can reduce the voltage drop on the connecting line 140 and improve the signal transmission capability of the connecting line 140. It should be noted that in other embodiments, other film layers can also be used to form the connecting line 140. For example, the connecting line 140 can be set in the first sub-gate metal layer MC, the second sub-gate metal layer MG, or the second metal layer M2.
[0141] For example, refer to Figure 28 The third metal layer M3 includes a connection line 140 and a second sub-second reset signal transmission line VR22. Thus, the connection line 140 and the second sub-second reset signal transmission line VR22 can be formed simultaneously in the same process using the same process and materials, saving process steps.
[0142] Optionally, refer to Figures 31-36 The data line 120 includes a first data line 121, and the connecting line 140 includes a first connecting line 141. The display panel also includes an auxiliary connecting line 162, which is disposed on the same layer as the jumper line 161. The auxiliary connecting line 162 and the jumper line 161 are located in the second metal layer M2. The auxiliary connecting line 162 connects the first connecting line 141 to the second electrode of the data write transistor T2. The second electrode of the data write transistor T2 is located in the first semiconductor layer POLY, which is located between the film layer where the first scan line SP is located and the substrate 200.
[0143] For example, refer to Figures 31-36 The first data line 121 located in the fourth metal layer M4 is connected to the first connection line 141 in the third metal layer M3 through a via. The first connection line 141 in the third metal layer M3 is connected to the auxiliary connection line 162 in the second metal layer M2 through a via. The auxiliary connection line 162 in the second metal layer M2 is connected to the second electrode of the data write transistor T2 in the first semiconductor layer POLY through a via. This achieves electrical connection between the first data line 121 and the second electrode of the data write transistor T2.
[0144] Optionally, refer to Figures 31-36, the data line 120 also includes a second data line 122. The auxiliary connection line 162 extends along the second direction Y, and the auxiliary connection line 162 overlaps with the second data line 122. The auxiliary connection line 162 and the second data line 122 located in different film layers are arranged opposite each other, that is, the auxiliary connection line 162 is arranged below the second data line 122. The area jointly occupied by the auxiliary connection line 162 and the second data line 122 is reduced. As a result, the width of the sub-pixel area 400 can be reduced along the second direction Y, thereby increasing the PPI. On the other hand, the auxiliary connection line 162 overlaps with the second data line 122 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 200, reducing the area jointly occupied by the auxiliary connection line 162 and the second data line 122, thereby reducing the light shielding area jointly occupied by the auxiliary connection line 162 and the second data line 122.
[0145] Optionally, refer to Figures 31-36 , the auxiliary connection line 162 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the data write transistor T2 through the first via 151. The first via 151 includes a via connection line connected from the second metal layer M2 to the first semiconductor layer POLY. The data line 120 also includes a second data line 122, and the connection line 140 also includes a second connection line 142. The second connection line 142 is electrically connected to the second data line 122 through the second via 152. The second via 152 includes a via connection line connected from the fourth metal layer M4 to the third metal layer M3. Perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 200, the first via 151 and the second via 152 overlap. The first via 151 and the second via 152 are on different layers and will not be short-circuited due to the overlap. The first via 151 and the second via 152 are arranged to face each other in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 200, thereby reducing the area occupied by the first via 151 and the second via 152. The PPI is increased, and the light shielding area of the first via hole 151 and the second via hole 152 is reduced.
[0146] Optionally, refer to Figure 28 and Figure 30The display panel also includes a longitudinal constant voltage line, which is arranged in the same layer as the data line 120. The longitudinal constant voltage line extends along the second direction Y. Along the first direction X, the longitudinal constant voltage line is located between two adjacent data lines 120. The first connecting line 141 includes a first conductive segment 171 and a second conductive segment 172 connected to each other. The first end of the first conductive segment 171 is electrically connected to the first data line 121, and the second end of the first conductive segment 171 is electrically connected to the first pixel driving circuit 111. The second conductive segment 172 is located on both sides of the first conductive segment 171 on the second data line 122, and the second conductive segment 172 overlaps with the longitudinal constant voltage line. The first conductive segment 171 overlaps with the longitudinal constant voltage line on one side of the second pixel driving circuit column 102. The second conductive segment 172 overlaps with the longitudinal constant voltage line on the other side of the second pixel driving circuit column 102. Therefore, after the first conductive segment 171 connects the first data line 121 and the first pixel driving circuit 111, the second conductive segment 172 is provided in the extending direction of the first connecting line 141. This allows the first connecting line 141 to overlap with the longitudinal constant voltage line on opposite sides of the second pixel driving circuit column 102, thereby balancing the coupling effects of the first connecting line 141 on different pixel driving circuits 110 arranged in the first direction X.
[0147] The second connection line 142 includes a third conductive segment 173 and a fourth conductive segment 174 connected to each other. The first end of the third conductive segment 173 is electrically connected to the second data line 122, and the second end of the third conductive segment 173 is electrically connected to the second pixel driving circuit 112. The fourth conductive segment 174 is located on either side of the third conductive segment 173 and overlaps with the longitudinal constant voltage line.
[0148] The third conductive segment 173 overlaps with the longitudinal constant voltage line on one side of the second pixel driving circuit column 102. The fourth conductive segment 174 overlaps with the longitudinal constant voltage line on the other side of the second pixel driving circuit column 102. Thus, after the third conductive segment 173 connects the second data line 122 and the second pixel driving circuit 112, the fourth conductive segment 174 is provided in the extending direction of the second connecting line 142, so that the second connecting line 142 overlaps with the longitudinal constant voltage line on both opposite sides of the second pixel driving circuit column 102, thereby balancing the coupling effect of the second connecting line 142 on different pixel driving circuits 110 arranged in the first direction X.
[0149] Illustratively, the first conductive segment 171 is located between the first data line 121 and the second data line 122 electrically connected thereto. The third conductive segment 173 is located between the second data line 122 and the first data line 121 electrically connected thereto. The longitudinal constant voltage line includes at least one of a second sub-first reset signal transmission line VR12, a third sub-second reset signal transmission line VR23, and a second adjustment signal transmission line DVH2.
[0150] It should be noted that the coupling effect of the equalizing connection line 140 on the different pixel driving circuits 110 arranged in the first direction X is not only applicable to the following Figure 30 The case where the first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are arranged in opposite directions is also applicable to the case where the first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are arranged in the same direction. The method of balancing the coupling effect of the connecting line 140 on different pixel driving circuits 110 arranged in the first direction X is not only applicable to the case where the first connecting line 141 and the second connecting line 142 are arranged in the same direction. Figure 30 The 3SD process shown is also applicable to the 2SD process.
[0151] Figure 37 This is a schematic diagram of a top view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 29-37 The display panel further includes a first lead line 181 and a second lead line 182. The first lead line 181 extends along a first direction X, and the second lead line 182 extends along a second direction Y. A plurality of first lead lines 181 are arranged along the second direction Y. A plurality of second lead lines 182 are arranged along the first direction X. The second lead line 182 is in the same layer as the data line 120. For example, the second lead line 182 and the data line 120 are located in the third metal layer M3, or the second lead line 182 and the data line 120 are located in the fourth metal layer M4. The first lead line 181 connects the data line 120 and the second lead line 182. The connecting line 140 is arranged in the same layer as the first lead line 181. As a result, the connecting line 140 and the first lead line 181 can be formed simultaneously in the same process using the same process and materials, saving process steps. On the other hand, the connecting wires 140 and the first lead wires 181 both extend along the first direction X. The connecting wires 140 and the first lead wires 181 are arranged on the same layer, and the connecting wires 140 and the first lead wires 181 extending in the same direction will not cross or short-circuit.
[0152] For example, refer to Figures 29-37, the first lead line 181 and the second lead line 182 are arranged in different layers. In the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 200 is located, the film layer where the first lead line 181 is located is located between the film layer where the second lead line 182 is located and the substrate 200. The display panel includes a display area 301 and a non-display area 302. The non-display area 302 is located at the periphery of the display area 301. The light-emitting unit 130 is located in the display area 301. In one embodiment, the pixel driving circuit 110 is located in the display area 301. In another embodiment, the pixel driving circuit 110 is located in the display area 301 and the non-display area 302. The non-display area 302 includes a bottom non-display area 3021. The source driving circuit 500 is provided in the bottom non-display area 3021. The first lead line 181 and the second lead line 182 are used to transmit the signal of the source driving circuit 500 to the data line 120. A first lead line 181 and a second lead line 182 are set in the display area 301 to lead the data line 120 to the source driver circuit 500 of the bottom non-display area 3021, thereby eliminating the need to set a fan-out line in the bottom non-display area 3021, reducing the space of the bottom non-display area 3021, and facilitating reducing the border and increasing the screen-to-body ratio.
[0153] Optionally, refer to Figure 2-Figure 6 ,as well as Figures 15-36 , multiple pixel driving circuits 110 form pixel driving circuit rows 300 along a first direction X. The multiple pixel driving circuit rows 300 include a first pixel driving circuit row 310 and a second pixel driving circuit row 320. Along a second direction Y, the first pixel driving circuit row 310 and the second pixel driving circuit row 320 are arranged alternately. Along the second direction Y, a second pixel driving circuit row 320 is arranged between two first pixel driving circuit rows 310, and a first pixel driving circuit row 310 is arranged between two second pixel driving circuit rows 320. Of the first pixel driving circuit row 310 and the second pixel driving circuit row 320, only the pixel driving circuits 110 in the first pixel driving circuit row 310 are electrically connected to the connecting line 140. The pixel driving circuits 110 in the second pixel driving circuit row 320 are not electrically connected to the connecting line 140. In the embodiment of the present invention, the connecting lines 140 are arranged in alternate rows. Between two adjacent rows of sub-pixel regions 400 provided with connecting lines 140, there is a row of sub-pixel regions 400 not provided with connecting lines 140.
[0154] Optionally, refer to Figures 15-36, the display panel also includes a dummy connection line 190. The first end of the dummy connection line 190 is electrically connected to the data line 120, and the second end of the dummy connection line 190 is floating. The second end of the dummy connection line 190 is floating, and the second end of the dummy connection line 190 is not connected to the second electrode of the data write transistor T2. Along the second direction Y, the dummy connection lines 190 and the connection lines 140 in the same column are arranged alternately. The connection line 140 is arranged in the first pixel driving circuit row 310, and the dummy connection line 190 is arranged in the second pixel driving circuit row 320. The dummy connection line 190 and the connection line 140 are arranged alternately according to the pixel driving circuit row 300. The connection line 140 is arranged in the first pixel driving circuit row 310, and the connection line 140 has a coupling effect on each node or thin film transistor 21 in the first pixel driving circuit row 310. In the embodiment of the present invention, dummy connection lines 190 are provided in the second pixel driving circuit row 320. The dummy connection lines 190 generate coupling effects on the nodes or thin film transistors 21 in the second pixel driving circuit row 320. This reduces the differences in coupling effects on the pixel driving circuits 110 in each row and enhances display uniformity.
[0155] Exemplarily, the plurality of dummy connection lines 190 include a first dummy connection line 191 and a second dummy connection line 192. The first dummy connection line 191 is connected to the first data line 121, and the second dummy connection line 192 is connected to the second data line 122. The first dummy connection line 191 and the first connection line 141 are both connected to the first data line 121, and the first dummy connection line 191 is a line corresponding to the first connection line 141. The second dummy connection line 192 and the second connection line 142 are both connected to the second data line 122, and the second dummy connection line 192 is a line corresponding to the second connection line 142.
[0156] For example, refer to Figure 15 、 Figure 19 、 Figure 28 and Figure 30 The first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are arranged opposite to each other. The first dummy connection line 191 and the second dummy connection line 192 are arranged opposite to each other. The first dummy connection line 191 and the first connection line 141 are arranged in the first direction X. The second dummy connection line 192 and the second connection line 142 are arranged in the opposite direction of the first direction X.
[0157] For example, refer to Figure 15 and Figure 19In the same sub-pixel region 400, the second connection line 142 and the first connection line 141 are sequentially arranged along the second direction Y, and the second dummy connection line 192 and the first dummy connection line 191 are sequentially arranged along the second direction Y. In the same sub-pixel region 400, along the second direction Y, the second connection line 142 is located between the first connection line 141 and the second sub-second reset signal transmission line VR22. In the same sub-pixel region 400, along the second direction Y, the first dummy connection line 191 is located between the second dummy connection line 192 and the second sub-second reset signal transmission line VR22.
[0158] For example, refer to Figure 28 and Figure 30 In the same sub-pixel region 400, the first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are sequentially arranged along the second direction Y, and the second dummy connection line 192 and the first dummy connection line 191 are sequentially arranged along the second direction Y. In the same sub-pixel region 400, along the second direction Y, the second dummy connection line 192 is located between the first dummy connection line 191 and the second sub-second reset signal transmission line VR22. As a result, the first dummy connection line 191 and the first connection line 141 are arranged at the same or similar position relative to the sub-pixel region 400. The second dummy connection line 192 and the second connection line 142 are arranged at the same or similar position relative to the sub-pixel region 400. The difference between the coupling effects on the pixel driving circuits 110 of each row is reduced, thereby enhancing display uniformity.
[0159] For example, refer to Figure 15 、 Figure 19 、 Figure 28 and Figure 30 The display panel further includes a connecting lead 83. The connecting lead 83 is disposed on the same layer as the dummy connecting line 190. The connecting lead 83 connects the first data line 121 to the second electrode of the data writing transistor T2. The first data line 121 is connected to the pixel driving circuit 110 in the current pixel driving circuit column 100 via the connecting lead 83. In one embodiment, the connecting lead 83 overlaps the first data line 121 perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 200. This increases the PPI and light transmittance.
[0160] For example, refer to Figure 22-Figure 25 The first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are arranged in the same direction. The first dummy connection line 191 and the second dummy connection line 192 are arranged in the same direction.
[0161] For example, refer to Figure 22 and Figure 23The first connection line 141, the second connection line 142, the first dummy connection line 191 and the second dummy connection line 192 are arranged in the same direction. The first dummy connection line 191, the first connection line 141, the second dummy connection line 192 and the second connection line 142 are arranged in the opposite direction of the first direction X.
[0162] For example, refer to Figure 24 、 Figure 25 、 Figure 32 、 Figure 33 、 Figure 35 and Figure 36 , the first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are arranged in the same direction. The first dummy connection line 191 and the second dummy connection line 192 are arranged in the same direction. The first connection line 141 and the first dummy connection line 191 are arranged opposite to each other. The first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are arranged in the first direction X. The first dummy connection line 191 and the second dummy connection line 192 are arranged in the opposite direction of the first direction X. Alternatively, the first connection line 141 and the second connection line 142 are arranged in the opposite direction of the first direction X. The first dummy connection line 191 and the second dummy connection line 192 are arranged in the first direction X.
[0163] Optionally, refer to Figure 24-25 , Figure 32-Figure 36 The dummy connection lines 190 and the connection lines 140 connected to the same data line 120 are located on opposite sides of the data line 120. The dummy connection lines 190 and the connection lines 140 connected to the same data line 120 are alternately arranged along the second direction Y.
[0164] For example, refer to Figure 24 and Figure 25 The second dummy connection line 192 connected to the second data line 122 is arranged in the opposite direction of the first direction X. The second dummy connection line 192 overlaps with the sub-pixel area 400 where the second pixel driving circuit 112 and the third pixel driving circuit 113 are located (eg Figure 24 The second dummy connection line 192 has a coupling effect on the second pixel driving circuit 112 and the third pixel driving circuit 113. The second connection line 142 connected to the second data line 122 is arranged in the first direction X. The second connection line 142 also overlaps with the sub-pixel area 400 where the second pixel driving circuit 112 and the third pixel driving circuit 113 are located (as shown in the dotted line in the figure). Figure 24 As a result, the difference in coupling effects on the pixel driving circuits 110 at different locations is reduced.

[0177] A pixel drive circuit arrangement can correspond to one or more light-emitting unit arrangements. In other words, when a pixel drive circuit arrangement is determined, the pixel drive circuit in that arrangement can be used to drive light-emitting units in one or more arrangements.

Figure 41 Indicate Figure 2 An arrangement of light-emitting units under the arrangement of the pixel driving circuit shown. Figure 42 This is a schematic diagram of a top view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 42 Indicate Figure 2 Another arrangement of the light-emitting units under the arrangement of the pixel driving circuit shown.
[0179] refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 41 and Figure 42 , along the first direction X, the first light-emitting units 131 and the second light-emitting units 132 are arranged alternately. Along the second direction Y, the first light-emitting units 131 and the second light-emitting units 132 are arranged alternately. A plurality of third light-emitting units 133 are arranged in a row along the first direction X. A plurality of third light-emitting units 133 are arranged in a column along the second direction Y. The second light-emitting unit 132 is surrounded by four adjacent third light-emitting units 133. The third light-emitting unit 133 is surrounded by four adjacent third light-emitting units 133. In other embodiments, the display panel may also have other arrangements of light-emitting units.
[0180] For example, refer to Figure 41 , the third light-emitting unit 133 has a center that coincides with the center of the virtual square VS1. The second light-emitting unit 132 is spaced apart from the third light-emitting unit 133, and the second light-emitting unit 132 has a center at the first vertex P1 of the virtual square VS1. The first light-emitting unit 131 is spaced apart from the second light-emitting unit 132 and the third light-emitting unit 133, and the first light-emitting unit 131 has a center at the second vertex P2 adjacent to the first vertex P1 of the virtual square VS1. The angle between the two adjacent sides formed by the second light-emitting unit 132 and the third light-emitting unit 133 of this design is 90° and constitutes the virtual square VS1. The shape is similar to a rhombus / diamond structure, and those skilled in the art usually call it a "diamond" pixel arrangement.

[0182] For example, the centers of the four third light-emitting units 133 form a first virtual trapezoid VS2, meaning that compared to the "diamond" pixel arrangement, at least one of the four third light-emitting units 133 is offset. The offset of at least one third light-emitting unit 133 means that the third light-emitting unit 133 moves toward the edge of a different display area.
[0183] The centers of multiple second light-emitting units 132 and multiple first light-emitting units 131 constitute a second virtual trapezoid VS3.
