[0099] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation methods can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other. To keep the following description of the embodiments of this disclosure clear and concise, detailed descriptions of some known functions and components have been omitted. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this disclosure only relate to the structures involved in the embodiments of this disclosure; other structures can be referred to with reference to general designs.

[0100] In the accompanying drawings, the size of the constituent elements, the thickness of the layers, or the area are sometimes exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, one aspect of this disclosure is not necessarily limited to these dimensions, and the shapes and sizes of the components in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate ideal examples, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0101] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.

[0102] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0103] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0104] In this specification, a transistor is 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 the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the 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.

[0105] In this specification, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged.

[0106] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.

[0107] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.

[0108] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."

[0109] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined; they can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, as are chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.

[0110] Display products include pixel driving circuits and light-emitting devices. The display product achieves its display by driving the light-emitting devices to emit light through the pixel driving circuit. During reliability testing, some transistors in the pixel driving circuit are subjected to prolonged bias voltage and high temperature, causing a shift in transistor characteristics (e.g., threshold voltage). This threshold voltage shift leads to potential fluctuations in some nodes within the pixel driving circuit, thereby reducing the reliability of the pixel driving circuit and affecting the display effect of the display product.

[0111] Therefore, this disclosure provides a pixel driving circuit.

[0142] Figure 7 This is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit provided as an exemplary embodiment. For example... Figure 7 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the driving sub-circuit includes: a third transistor T3; the first control sub-circuit includes: a ninth transistor T9, a first capacitor C1, and a second capacitor C2; the second control sub-circuit includes: a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2; the third control sub-circuit includes: a fourth transistor T4, a seventh transistor T7, and an eighth transistor T8; the fourth control sub-circuit includes: a fifth transistor T5 and a sixth transistor T6; and both the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 include: a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate.

[0143] like Figure 7As shown, the control electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first reset signal terminal Reset1, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first initial signal terminal INIT1, and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5; the control electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second scan signal terminal Gate2, the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the third node N3; the control electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the first node N1, the first electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the second electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the third node N3; the control electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal Gate1, the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the data signal terminal Data, and the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the second node N2; the control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the light emission signal terminal EM, the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first power supply terminal VDD, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second node N2; the control electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the light emission signal terminal E...

The second electrode of transistor 8 is electrically connected to the second node N2; the control electrode of the ninth transistor T9 is electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal Gate1, the first electrode of the ninth transistor T9 is electrically connected to the first node N1, and the second electrode of the ninth transistor T9 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5; the first plate C11 of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the first node N1, and the second plate C12 of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the first power supply terminal VDD; the first plate C21 of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5, and the second plate C22 of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the first power supply terminal VDD.

[0144] Based on their characteristics, transistors can be classified into N-type transistors and P-type transistors. When a transistor is P-type, its turn-on voltage is a low-level voltage (e.g., 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltage), and its turn-off voltage is a high-level voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltage). When a transistor is N-type, its turn-on voltage is a high-level voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltage), and its turn-off voltage is a low-level voltage (e.g., 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltage).

[0145] In an exemplary embodiment, the N-type transistor can be an oxide thin-film transistor, the active layer of which is made of oxide semiconductor. Oxide thin-film transistors have advantages such as low leakage current.

[0146] In an exemplary embodiment, the P-type transistor can be a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor. The active layer of the LTPS thin-film transistor is made of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon, which has advantages such as high mobility and fast charging.

[0147] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 is of the opposite type to at least one of the third transistor T3 to the ninth transistor T9.

[0148] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 is an N-type transistor, and at least one of the third transistor T3 to the ninth transistor T9 is a P-type transistor.

[0149] In this disclosure, at least one of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 is an N-type transistor, which can reduce the leakage current of the fifth node N5. The ninth transistor T9 is a P-type transistor, which can reduce the influence of the fifth node N5 on the first node N1 and improve the reliability of the pixel driving circuit.

[0150] In an exemplary embodiment, when all transistors in the pixel driving circuit are P-type transistors and N-type transistors, the display substrate uses Low Temperature Poly-Silicon (LTPS) technology. Compared with LTPS technology, LTPO technology has lower leakage current and faster pixel response. The display substrate has an additional oxide layer, which reduces the energy consumption required to excite the pixels, thereby reducing the power consumption when the screen is displayed.

[0151] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the first transistors T1 to the ninth transistor T9 includes an active pattern comprising a channel region, a first region, and a second region, the first region and the second region being located on opposite sides of the channel region. The doping concentration of the channel region 91-3 in the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9 is greater than the doping concentration of the channel region in the active pattern of at least one of the first transistors T1 to the eighth transistor T8.

[0152] This disclosure enables the ninth transistor T9 to have a higher mobility by using a channel region with a higher doping concentration in the active pattern than the channel region with a higher doping concentration in the active pattern of at least one of the first transistors T1 to the eighth transistor T8. This allows the ninth transistor T9 to achieve a balance in a short time regardless of the potential difference between the signals of the first node N1 and the fifth node N5, thus avoiding the flickering problem of display products caused by leakage.

[0153] In an exemplary embodiment Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the ninth transistor. (As shown) Figure 8 As shown, the doping concentration of at least one of the first region 91-1 and the second region 91-2 in the active pattern 91 of the ninth transistor T9 is greater than or equal to the doping concentration of the channel region 91-3 in the active pattern 91 of the ninth transistor T9.

[0154] In an exemplary embodiment Figure 8 The active pattern 41, control electrode 42, first electrode 43, and second electrode 44 of the fourth transistor are also shown. Figure 8 The fourth transistor can also be at least one of the following transistors: the third transistor, the fifth transistor, the sixth transistor, the seventh transistor, and the eighth transistor. Figure 8 This is to illustrate the positional relationship between the control electrodes of the ninth transistor and the other P-type transistors besides the ninth transistor.

[0155] In an exemplary embodiment, the control electrode 92 of the ninth transistor T9 can be disposed on the same layer as the control electrode 42 of the fourth transistor. In this case, the thickness of the control electrode 92 of the ninth transistor T9 is less than the thickness of the control electrode 42 of the fourth transistor, or the control electrode 92 of the ninth transistor T9 can be located on the side of the control electrode 42 of the fourth transistor away from the substrate. Figure 8 This is illustrated by taking the example that the control electrode 92 of the ninth transistor T9 can be located on the side of the control electrode 42 of the fourth transistor that is far from the substrate.

[0156] In an exemplary embodiment, the ninth transistor T9 in this disclosure can be formed through the following process: forming an active pattern of the ninth transistor T9 on a substrate, lightly doping the active pattern of the ninth transistor, forming a first gate structure on the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9, heavily doping the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9, forming the gate electrode of the ninth transistor T9, and forming the first and second electrodes of the ninth transistor. The first gate structure includes the gate electrodes of the remaining P-type transistors other than the ninth transistor, and the orthographic projection of the first gate structure onto the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9 onto the substrate. Because the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9 is not blocked during heavy doping, ions can enter the channel region of the ninth transistor T9, thereby improving the mobility of the ninth transistor.

[0157] In an exemplary embodiment, the ninth transistor in this disclosure can be formed through the following process: forming an active pattern of the ninth transistor T9 on a substrate, lightly doping the active pattern of the ninth transistor, forming the gate electrodes of all P-type transistors on the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9, wherein the thickness of the gate electrode of the ninth transistor is less than the thickness of at least one gate electrode in the first gate structure, heavily doping the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9, forming the gate electrode of the ninth transistor T9, and forming the first and second electrodes of the ninth transistor. Since the thickness of the gate electrode of the ninth transistor is less than the thickness of at least one gate electrode in the first gate structure, when the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9 is heavily doped, some ions can enter the channel region of the ninth transistor T9, thereby improving the mobility of the ninth transistor.

[0158] In an exemplary embodiment, the ninth transistor in this disclosure can be formed through the following process: forming an active pattern of the ninth transistor T9 on a substrate, lightly doping the active pattern of the ninth transistor, forming a first gate structure on the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9, and heavily doping the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9 using a halftone mask, wherein the orthographic projection of the first gate structure on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9 on the substrate do not overlap. Because a halftone mask is used when heavily doping the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9, some ions can enter the channel region of the ninth transistor T9, thereby improving the mobility of the ninth transistor.

[0159] In an exemplary embodiment, after heavily doping the active pattern of the ninth transistor T9, it may include forming a control electrode 92, a first electrode 93, and a second electrode 94 of the ninth transistor. The first electrode 93 of the ninth transistor is electrically connected to a first region 91-1 of the active pattern of the ninth transistor, and the second electrode 94 of the ninth transistor is electrically connected to a second region 91-2 of the active pattern of the ninth transistor.

[0160] In an exemplary embodiment Figure 9 for Figure 7 The provided timing diagram for the pixel driving circuit is shown. Figure 9 As shown, in at least one display frame, the time period during which the signal of the second reset signal terminal Reset2 is an effective level signal includes: a first time period t1 and a second time period t2 with interval settings, wherein the first time period t1 occurs before the second time period t2.

[0161] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 9 As shown, the time period during which the signal of at least one of the first scan signal terminal Gate1, the second scan signal terminal Gate2, and the first reset signal terminal Reset1 is an effective level signal is located between the first time period t1 and the second time period t2.

[0162] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 9 As shown, the time periods during which the signal at the first scanning signal terminal Gate1 is an effective level signal include: a third time period t3 and a fourth time period t4 with intervals set. The third time period t3 occurs before the fourth time period t4, and the third time period t3 includes: multiple sub-time periods t30 with intervals set.

[0163] In an exemplary embodiment, the time period during which the signal at the first reset signal terminal Reset1 is at an active level overlaps at least partially with the time period during which the signal at the second scan signal terminal Gate2 is at an active level. For example, the start time of the time period during which the signal at the first reset signal terminal Reset1 is at an active level is earlier than the start time of the time period during which the signal at the second scan signal terminal Gate2 is at an active level, and the end time of the time period during which the signal at the first reset signal terminal Reset1 is at an active level is later than the start time of the time period during which the signal at the second scan signal terminal Gate2 is at an active level, but earlier than the end time of the time period during which the signal at the second scan signal terminal Gate2 is at an active level.

[0164] In an exemplary embodiment, the time period during which the signal at the first reset signal terminal Reset1 is at an active level overlaps at least partially with the third time period t3. For example, the start time of the third time period t3 is later than the start time of the time period during which the signal at the first reset signal terminal Reset1 is at an active level, and the end time of the third time period t3 is earlier than the start time of the time period during which the signal at the second scan signal terminal Gate2 is at an active level.

[0165] In an exemplary embodiment, the time period during which the signal at the second scan signal terminal Gate2 is at an active level overlaps at least partially with the fourth time period t4. For example, the start time of the fourth time period t4 is later than the end time of the time period during which the signal at the first reset signal terminal Reset1 is at an active level, and the end time of the fourth time period t4 is later than the end time of the time period during which the signal at the second scan signal terminal Gate2 is at an active level.

[0166] The pixel driving circuit in this disclosure is disposed in a display substrate. The display substrate may include a display area and a non-display area. The pixel driving circuit is located in the display area. The non-display area is provided with at least one driving circuit, which is configured to provide signals to a first reset signal terminal Reset1, a second reset signal terminal Reset2, a first scan signal terminal Gate1, a second scan signal terminal Gate2, and a light emission signal terminal EM connected to the pixel driving circuit.

[0167] The display substrate may include a first driving circuit, a second driving circuit, a third driving circuit, a fourth driving circuit, a fifth driving circuit, and a sixth driving circuit. The first driving circuit is configured to provide a signal to the light-emitting signal terminal of at least one pixel driving circuit; the second driving circuit is configured to provide a signal to the first scan signal terminal of at least one pixel driving circuit; the third driving circuit is configured to provide a signal to the second scan signal terminal of at least one pixel driving circuit; the fourth driving circuit is configured to provide a signal to the first reset signal terminal of at least one pixel driving circuit; and the fifth driving circuit is configured to provide a signal to the second reset signal terminal of at least one pixel driving circuit.

[0168] The following is through Figure 7 The operation of the example pixel driving circuit illustrates an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 7 The pixel driving circuit includes nine transistors (first transistor T1 to ninth transistor T9) and two capacitors (first capacitor C1 and second capacitor C2). First transistor T1 and second transistor T2 are N-type transistors, and third transistor T3 to ninth transistor T9 are P-type transistors.

[0169] In an exemplary embodiment, combined with Figure 9 , Figure 7The operation of the provided pixel driving circuit may include:

[0170] In the first stage S1, also known as the initialization stage, the signals at the first reset signal terminal Reset1 and the second scan signal terminal Gate2 are low-level signals, while the signals at the first scan signal terminal Gate1 and the light emission signal terminal EM are high-level signals. The second reset signal terminal Reset2 is low-level for a portion of the time. The seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on for a portion of the time, while the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the ninth transistor T9 are turned off.

[0171] When the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, the signal at the second initial signal terminal INIT2 is written to the fourth node N4 (which is also the anode of the light-emitting device L), initializing (resetting) the fourth node N4 (which is also the anode of the light-emitting device L), clearing its internal pre-stored voltage, and completing the initialization. When the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, the signal at the third initial signal terminal INIT3 is written to the second node N2, initializing (resetting) the second node N2, clearing its internal pre-stored voltage, and completing the initialization. When the third transistor T3 is turned on, the signal at the third initial signal terminal INIT3 is written to the third node N3 through the second node N2, initializing (resetting) the third node N3, clearing its internal pre-stored voltage, and completing the initialization.

[0172] In this stage, the voltage value V of the signal at the second node N2 N2 =Vinit3, the voltage value V of the signal at the third node N3. N3 =Vinit3, the voltage value V of the signal at the fourth node N4. N4 =Vinit2, where Vinit2 is the voltage value of the signal at the second initial signal terminal INIT2, and Vinit3 is the voltage value of the signal at the third initial signal terminal INIT3.

[0173] The second stage, S2, is called the reset stage. During this stage, the signal at the second scan signal terminal Gate2 is low, while the signals at the first reset signal terminal Reset1, the second reset signal terminal Reset2, and the light emission signal terminal EM are high. The first scan signal terminal Gate1 is low for multiple sub-time periods. The first transistor T1 is turned on, the fourth transistor T4 and the ninth transistor T9 are low for two sub-time periods, and the second transistor T2, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off. Figure 9 This explanation uses two sub-time periods as an example.

[0174] When the first transistor T1 is turned on, the signal at the first initial signal terminal INIT1 is written to the fifth node N5, initializing (resetting) the fifth node N5 and clearing its internal pre-stored voltage, thus completing the initialization. When the ninth transistor T9 is turned on in the first sub-time period, the signal at the first initial signal terminal INIT1 is written to the first node N1 for the first time through the fifth node N5, initializing (resetting) the first node N1 and clearing its internal pre-stored voltage, thus completing the initialization. When the ninth transistor T9 is turned on in the second sub-time period, the signal at the first initial signal terminal INIT1 is written to the first node N1 for the second time through the fifth node N5, initializing (resetting) the first node N1 again and clearing its internal pre-stored voltage, thus completing the initialization. Since the second transistor T2 is turned off, in this stage, the second node N2 and the third node N3 still maintain the signals from the previous stage. At this time, the gate-source voltage difference of the third transistor T3 (i.e., the voltage difference between the signals of the first node N1 and the second node N2) is Vinit1-Vini3, where Vinit1 is the voltage value of the signal at the first initial signal terminal INIT1.

[0175] In this phase, the voltage value V of the signal at the first node N1 N1 =Vinit1, the voltage value V of the signal at the second node N2. N2 =Vinit3, the voltage value V of the signal at the third node N3. N3 =Vinit3, the voltage value V of the signal at the fourth node N4. N4 =Vinit2, the voltage value V of the signal at the fifth node N5. N5 =Vinit1.

[0176] The ninth transistor T9 in this disclosure is a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor. Before the first sub-time period, the ninth transistor is affected by the voltage of the first node and the control electrode bias voltage. The potential of the first node is related to the data signal written in the previous display frame. That is, before the first sub-time period, the characteristics of the ninth transistor T9 are affected by the previous display frame. After the first sub-time period, the influence of the data signal written in the previous display frame on the characteristics of the ninth transistor T9 can be clearly seen. This disclosure initializes the first node N1 twice, in the first and second sub-time periods, which can better eliminate the influence of the data signal written in the previous display frame on the characteristics of the ninth transistor T9, improve image retention and low grayscale image quality of the display product, and effectively enhance the display effect of the display substrate.

[0177] The gate-source voltage difference of the third transistor T3 in this disclosure can improve the characteristics of the third transistor T3, thereby further improving the image retention of the display product.

[0178] The third stage, S3, is called the second initialization stage. The signals at the first scan signal terminal Gate1, the second scan signal terminal Gate2, the first reset signal terminal Reset1, the second reset signal terminal Reset2, and the light emission signal terminal EM are all high-level signals. The first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, while the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8, and the ninth transistor T9 are turned off.

[0179] When the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, the signal at the first initial signal terminal INIT1 is written to the third node N3 through the fifth node N5, initializing (resetting) the third node N3 and the fifth node N5, clearing their internal pre-stored voltages, and completing the initialization. Since the ninth transistor T9 is turned off, the first node N1 retains the signal from the previous stage, and the ninth transistor T6 is turned off, so the fourth node N4 retains the signal from the previous stage.

[0180] In this phase, the voltage value V of the signal at the first node N1 N1 =Vinit1, the voltage value V of the signal at the second node N2. N2 =Vinit3, the voltage value V of the signal at the third node N3. N3 =Vinit1, the voltage value V of the signal at the fourth node N4. N4 =Vinit2, the voltage value V of the signal at the fifth node N5. N5 =Vinit1.

[0181] The fourth stage, S4, is called the threshold compensation and data writing stage. The signal at the first reset signal terminal (Reset1) is high, as are the signals at the second scan signal terminal (Gate2), the second reset signal terminal (Reset2), and the light emission signal terminal (EM). The first scan signal terminal (Gate1) is low for a portion of the time. The second transistor (T2) is turned on, and the fourth transistor (T4) and the ninth transistor (T9) are turned on for a portion of the time. The first transistor (T1), the fifth transistor (T5), the sixth transistor (T6), the seventh transistor (T7), and the eighth transistor (T8) are turned off.

[0182] When the second transistor T2 and the ninth transistor T9 are turned on, the first node N1, the third node N3, and the fifth node N5 are connected. When the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, the data signal on the data signal line Data continuously charges the first node N1 until the voltage value of the signal at the first node N1 is Vdata - |Vth|, where Vdata is the voltage value of the data signal and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. At this time, the voltage difference between the signals stored in the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 is Vdd - Vdata + |Vth|, where Vdd is the voltage value of the signal at the first power supply terminal VDD.

[0183] In this phase, the voltage value V of the signal at the first node N1 N1 =Vdata - |Vth|, the voltage value V of the signal at the second node N2. N2 =Vdata, the voltage value V of the signal at the third node N3. N3 =Vdata - |Vth|, the voltage value V of the signal at the fourth node N4. N4 =Vinit2, the voltage value V of the signal at the fifth node N5. N5 =Vdata-|Vth|.

[0184] The fifth stage, S5, is called the third initialization stage. The signals at the first reset signal terminal Reset1 and the second scan signal terminal Gate2 are low-level signals. The signals at the first scan signal terminal Gate1 and the light emission signal terminal EM are also low-level signals. The signal at the second reset signal terminal Reset2 is low-level for a portion of the time. The seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on for a portion of the time, while the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the ninth transistor T9 are turned off.

[0185] When the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, the signal from the second initial signal terminal INIT2 is written to the fourth node N4 (which is also the anode of the light-emitting device L), initializing (resetting) the fourth node N4 (which is also the anode of the light-emitting device L), clearing its internal pre-stored voltage, and completing the initialization. When the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, the signal from the third initial signal terminal INIT3 is written to the second node N2, initializing (resetting) the second node N2, clearing its internal pre-stored voltage, and completing the initialization. When the third transistor T3 is turned on, the signal from the third initial signal terminal INIT3 is written to the third node N3 through the second node N2, initializing (resetting) the third node N3, clearing its internal pre-stored voltage, and completing the initialization. Since the second transistor T2 is turned off, the first node N1 and the fifth node N5 are the signals from the previous stage.

[0186] In this phase, the voltage value V of the signal at the first node N1 N1 =Vdata - |Vth|, the voltage value V of the signal at the second node N2. N2 =Vinit3, the voltage value V of the signal at the third node N3. N3 =Vinit3, the voltage value V of the signal at the fourth node N4. N4 =Vinit2, the voltage value V of the signal at the fifth node N5. N5 =Vdata-|Vth|.

[0187] In the sixth stage, S6, also known as the light-emitting stage, the signals at the first reset signal terminal Reset1, the second scan signal terminal Gate2, and the light-emitting signal terminal EM are low-level signals, while the signals at the first scan signal terminal Gate1 and the second reset signal terminal Reset2 are high-level signals. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, while the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8, and the ninth transistor T9 are turned off.

[0188] When the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, the power signal output from the first power supply terminal VDD provides a driving voltage to the fourth node N4 (which is also the first terminal of the light-emitting device L) through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the second node N2, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the turned-on sixth transistor T6, thereby driving the light-emitting device L to emit light.

[0189] During the pixel driving circuit operation, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its gate electrode and its first electrode. The voltage value V of the signal at the first node N1 is... N1 =Vdata - |Vth|, the voltage value V of the signal at the second node N2. N2 =Vdd. Therefore, the drive current of the third transistor T3 is:

[0190] I = K * (Vsg - Vth) 2

[0191] =K*(V N2 -V N1- |Vth|) 2

[0192] =K*[Vdd-Vdata+|Vth|-Vth] 2

[0193] =K*(Vdd-Vdata) 2

[0194] Where I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, which is the driving current driving the light-emitting device L, and K is a constant.

[0195] As can be seen from the derivation of the above current formula, during the light-emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is no longer affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, thereby eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 on the driving current. This ensures uniform display brightness of the display product and improves the overall display effect of the display product.

[0199] Step S103: Under the control of the signals from the first reset signal terminal and the second scan signal terminal, the second control sub-circuit provides the signal from the first initial signal terminal or the signal from the third node to the fifth node.

[0201] Step S105: Under the control of the signal at the light-emitting signal terminal, the fourth control sub-circuit provides the signal from the first power supply terminal to the second node and the signal from the third node to the fourth node.

[0235] The following description uses the fabrication process of a display substrate as an example. The "patterning process" described in this disclosure includes, for metallic, inorganic, or transparent conductive materials, processes such as photoresist coating, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping; for organic materials, it includes processes such as organic material coating, mask exposure, and development. Deposition can be performed using any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition; coating can be performed using any one or more of spraying, spin coating, and inkjet printing; etching can be performed using any one or more of dry etching and wet etching. This disclosure does not limit the methods used. A "thin film" refers to a thin film made of a certain material on a substrate using deposition, coating, or other processes. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it can also be called a "layer." If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire fabrication 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." The phrase "A and B are arranged in the same layer" in this disclosure means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer is the dimension of the film layer in the direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In the 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 includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary range of the orthographic projection of A, or the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

[0237] The following is based on... Figures 12 to 23 As shown, the fabrication process of the display substrate provided in this disclosure may include:

[0238] (1) Forming a first semiconductor layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming a first semiconductor layer pattern may include: depositing a first semiconductor thin film on a substrate, and patterning the first semiconductor thin film using a patterning process to form a first semiconductor layer pattern, such as...

The active patterns 81 of the eighth transistor and 91 of the ninth transistor are separately configured.

[0242] In an exemplary embodiment, in the first direction D1, the active patterns 41 of the fourth transistor and 51 of the fifth transistor of at least one column of pixel driving circuits are located on the side of the active pattern 31 of the third transistor of the same column of pixel driving circuits near the previous column of pixel driving circuits, and the active pattern 61 of the sixth transistor of at least one column of pixel driving circuits is located on the side of the active pattern 31 of the third transistor of the same column of pixel driving circuits near the next column of pixel driving circuits.

[0243] In an exemplary embodiment, the active pattern 31 of the third transistor may be in the shape of an inverted “Ω”.

[0244] In an exemplary embodiment, the active pattern 41 of the fourth transistor, the active pattern 51 of the fifth transistor, the active pattern 71 of the seventh transistor, and the active pattern 91 of the ninth transistor can be in the shape of an "I".

[0245] In an exemplary embodiment, the active pattern 61 of the sixth transistor and the active pattern 81 of the eighth transistor can be in the shape of a horizontally flipped "L".

[0246] In an exemplary embodiment, the active pattern of each transistor may include a first region, a second region, and a channel region located between the first region and the second region.

[0247] In an exemplary embodiment, for at least one pixel driving circuit, the first region 31-1 of the active pattern 31 of the third transistor can simultaneously serve as the second region 41-2 of the active pattern 41 of the fourth transistor and the second region 51-2 of the active pattern 51 of the fifth transistor. The second region 31-2 of the active pattern 31 of the third transistor can simultaneously serve as the first region 61-1 of the active pattern 61 of the sixth transistor.

[0249] In an exemplary embodiment, the first region 51-1 of the active pattern 51 of the fifth transistor of at least one pixel driving circuit is the same region as the first region 51-1 of the active pattern 51 of the fifth transistor of the first adjacent pixel driving circuit, and the first region 81-1 of the active pattern 81 of the eighth transistor of at least one pixel driving circuit is the same region as the first region 81-1 of the active pattern 81 of the eighth transistor of the first adjacent pixel driving circuit.

[0250] (2) Forming a first conductive layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the first conductive layer pattern may include: sequentially depositing a first insulating film and a first conductive film on a substrate on which the aforementioned pattern is formed; and patterning the first insulating film and the first conductive film using a patterning process to form a first insulating layer pattern and a first conductive layer pattern located on the first insulating layer, such as... Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, where, Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the pattern of the first conductive layer. Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram showing the formation of the first conductive layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, the first conductive layer may be referred to as the first gate metal (GATE1) layer.

[0251] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the first conductive layer pattern may include: a light-emitting signal line EL, a second reset signal line RL2, a first initial signal line INITL1, and the control electrode of at least one P-type transistor located in at least one pixel driving circuit and the first plate C11 of the first capacitor. Wherein, Figure 13 The following explanation is based on an example of at least one P-type transistor, including the control electrode 32 of the third transistor, the control electrode 42 of the fourth transistor, the control electrode 52 of the fifth transistor, the control electrode 62 of the sixth transistor, the control electrode 72 of the seventh transistor, and the control electrode 82 of the eighth transistor.

[0252] In an exemplary embodiment, the control electrode of at least one P-type transistor of at least one pixel driving circuit located in the same row and the first plate C11 of the first capacitor of the first P-type transistor of at least one pixel driving circuit of the adjacent sub-pixel are symmetrically arranged with respect to a virtual straight line extending along the second direction D2.

[0253] In an exemplary embodiment, the control electrode 42 of the fourth transistor in at least one pixel driving circuit is the same electrode as the control electrode 42 of the fourth transistor in the first adjacent pixel driving circuit.

[0254] In an exemplary embodiment, for at least one row of sub-pixels, the first initial signal line INITL1, the light emission signal line EL, and the second reset signal line RL2 connected to the pixel driving circuit are arranged sequentially along the second direction D2.

[0255] In an exemplary embodiment, the first initial signal line INITL1 connected to at least one row of pixel driving circuits is located on the side of the first plate C11 of the first capacitor of the pixel driving circuit that is close to the previous row of pixel driving circuits.

[0256] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first initial signal line INITL1 can be a line shape in which the main body extends along the first direction D1.

[0257] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting signal line EL and the second reset signal line RL2 connected to at least one row of pixel driving circuits are located on the side of the first plate C11 of the first capacitor of the pixel driving circuit closer to the next row of pixel driving circuits, and the second reset signal line RL2 connected to at least one row of pixel driving circuits is located on the side of the light-emitting signal line EL connected to at least one row of pixel driving circuits away from the first plate C11 of the first capacitor of the pixel driving circuit.

[0258] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the light-emitting signal line EL can be a line shape in which the main body extends along the first direction D1. The area where the light-emitting signal line EL connected to at least one pixel driving circuit overlaps with the active pattern of the fifth transistor can be the control electrode 52 of the fifth transistor, and the area where the light-emitting signal line EL connected to at least one pixel driving circuit overlaps with the active pattern of the sixth transistor can be the control electrode 62 of the sixth transistor.

[0259] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the second reset signal line RL2 can be a line shape in which the main body extends along the first direction D1. The area where the second reset signal line RL2 connected to at least one pixel driving circuit overlaps with the active pattern of the seventh transistor can be the control electrode 72 of the seventh transistor, and the area where the second reset signal line RL2 connected to at least one pixel driving circuit overlaps with the active pattern of the eighth transistor can be the control electrode 82 of the eighth transistor.

[0260] In an exemplary embodiment, the first plate C11 of the first capacitor in at least one pixel driving circuit can be rectangular in shape, and the corners of the rectangle can be chamfered. Exemplarily, the first plate C11 of the first capacitor can serve as the control electrode 32 of the third transistor.

[0261] In an exemplary embodiment, the control electrode 42 of the fourth transistor in at least one pixel driving circuit can be provided separately. The control electrode 42 of the fourth transistor can be strip-shaped and at least partially extends along the first direction.

[0262] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting signal line EL, the second reset signal line RL2, and the first initial signal line INITL1 can be designed with equal width or with non-equal width, and can be straight lines or broken lines. This not only facilitates the layout of the pixel structure but also reduces the parasitic capacitance between the signal lines. This disclosure does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0263] In an exemplary embodiment, after the first conductive layer pattern is formed, the first conductive layer can be used as a shield to conduct the first semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer in the area shielded by the first conductive layer is referred to as the channel region of the third transistor, fourth transistor, fifth transistor, sixth transistor, seventh transistor, and eighth transistor. The first semiconductor layer in the area not shielded by the first conductive layer is conducted.

[0264] In an exemplary embodiment, since the first conductive layer pattern does not include the gate electrode of the ninth transistor, when performing ion doping on a semiconductor layer, the mobility of the ninth transistor channel can be adjusted by adjusting the concentration of dopant ions. For example, the ion doping concentration can be increased so that the mobility of the active pattern of the ninth transistor is greater than the mobility of the channel region of at least one of the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth transistors. Alternatively, the mobility of the ninth transistor can be improved by, for example, by doping to make the entire active pattern of the ninth transistor conductive.
