SPECIFIC EXECUTION FORMS
[0028] In order to clarify the tasks, technical solutions and advantages of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0029] With reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 is Fig. 1 a top view of a display field according to an embodiment of the present application, Fig. 2 is a locally enlarged representation of the display field in Fig. 1 to A1 and Fig. Figure 3 is a schematic structure diagram of the film layers of the display field in Fig. 2 an B-B'. The display field 000 can have a display area 00a and a non-display area 00b located around the display area 00a. The display field 000 can comprise a base substrate 100, a plurality of pixel circuits 200, a plurality of light-emitting components 300, a plurality of data signal lines D10, and a plurality of redundant signal lines D20.
[0030] The plurality of pixel circuits 200 in the display field 000 can be arranged in an array on one side of the base substrate 100 and be located in the display area 00a. The plurality of pixel circuits 200 can comprise a plurality of first pixel circuits 201 and a plurality of dummy pixel circuits 202. The plurality of first pixel circuits 201 can be arranged in a plurality of columns. The plurality of dummy pixel circuits 202 can also be arranged in a plurality of columns. The plurality of columns of the dummy pixel circuits 202 can be distributed among the plurality of columns of the first pixel circuits 201. The number of columns of the first pixel circuits 201 is greater than the number of columns of the dummy pixel circuits 202. Furthermore, at least two columns of first pixel circuits 201 can be arranged between two adjacent columns of dummy pixel circuits 202. It should be noted that in Fig. 2. The light-emitting components 300 in the display field 000 are not shown in order to make the distribution relationship of the multitude of pixel circuits 200 in the display field 000 clearer. Furthermore, in Fig. 2 each box P1 represents a first pixel circuit 201, and each box P2 represents a dummy pixel circuit 202.
[0031] The multitude of light-emitting components 300 in the display field 000 can be arranged on a side of the multitude of pixel circuits 200 facing away from the base substrate 100 and be located in the display area 00a. To clarify the connection between the multitude of light-emitting components 300 and the multitude of first pixel circuits 201, see Fig. Reference is made to Figure 4, which is a schematic diagram of the connection between a plurality of light-emitting components and a plurality of first pixel circuits according to an embodiment of the present application. The plurality of light-emitting components 300 can be electrically connected to the plurality of first pixel circuits 201 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each of the plurality of first pixel circuits 201 is configured such that it controls a corresponding light-emitting component 300 to emit light, so that the display area 00a of the display field 00 can display a corresponding image. It should be noted that the dummy pixel circuit 202 must be isolated from the light-emitting component 300. That is, the dummy pixel circuit 202 is not electrically connected to the light-emitting component 300.
[0032] The multiple data signal lines D10 and the multiple redundant signal lines D20 in display field 000 can be arranged in display area 00a. The direction of the data signal lines D10 can coincide with the direction of the redundant signal lines D20.
[0033] The multitude of data signal lines D1 can correspond one-to-one to the multitude of columns of the first pixel circuits 201. Each of the multitude of data signal lines D10 can be arranged in the area of a corresponding column of first pixel circuits 201 and electrically connected to the first pixel circuits 201 in the corresponding column of first pixel circuits 201. Furthermore, the data signal line D10 can be isolated from the dummy pixel circuit 202. That is, the data signal line D10 is not electrically connected to the dummy pixel circuit 202.
[0034] The plurality of redundant signal lines D20 can correspond one-to-one to the plurality of columns of the dummy pixel circuits 202. Each of the plurality of redundant signal lines D20 can be located in the area of a corresponding column of dummy pixel circuits 202 and must be isolated from the dummy pixel circuits in the corresponding column of dummy pixel circuits 202. That is, the redundant signal line D20 is not electrically connected to the dummy pixel circuit 202.
[0035] It should be noted that the multitude of first pixel circuits 201 and the multitude of dummy pixel circuits 202 in the display field 000 are formed simultaneously by the same process, and that a data signal line D10, which is electrically connected to a column of first pixel circuits 201, is formed simultaneously with the formation of the multitude of first pixel circuits 201. Thus, a redundant signal line D20 is formed simultaneously in the area of a column of dummy pixel circuits 202 during the process of forming the multitude of dummy pixel circuits 202. However, the redundant signal line D20 must be isolated from the dummy pixel circuits in the column of dummy pixel circuits 202.
[0036] In the present application, at least some of the plurality of redundant signal lines D20 in display area 000 can be first redundant signal lines D201. A first redundant signal line D201 can comprise a first line section D21 connected to a data signal line D10. The first line section D21 can function as part of a fan-out line electrically connected to the data signal line D10. Since the redundant signal line D20 is located in display area 00a, the part (i.e.,The first conductor section D21 in the fan-out line, which is electrically connected to the data signal line D10, is arranged in the display area 00a, so that the other part of the fan-out line occupies less space in the non-display area 00b than the first conductor section D21, and the width of the area in which the fan-out line is arranged in the non-display area 00b is effectively reduced. In this way, the screen ratio of a display device equipped with display field 00 is effectively improved, so that the display effects of the display device are excellent.
[0037] It should be noted that in the technology in question, an additional signal line, electrically connected to the data signal line, can be located between two adjacent columns of subpixels, and this signal line can function as part of the fan-out line in the display area. However, some areas of the display area require signal lines, while others do not. Consequently, the conductive patterns used to form the signal lines in the display area are not evenly distributed, making the display area susceptible to poor display results such as color distortion.
[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the data signal lines D10 and the redundant signal lines D20 in the display field 000 are arranged in the same layer and made of the same material. That is, the data signal lines D10 and the redundant signal lines D20 are formed by a single structuring process. This means that the data signal lines D10 and the redundant signal lines D20 in the display field 000 can be located in the same conductive pattern. Since the plurality of columns of the dummy pixel circuits 202 is distributed within the plurality of columns of the first pixel circuits 201, the plurality of redundant signal lines D20 in the display field 000 is also distributed within the plurality of data signal lines D10. Furthermore, the conductive pattern comprising the data signal lines D10 and the redundant signal lines D20 can be evenly distributed within the display area 00a.If part of the first redundant signal lines D201 in the area of a column of dummy pixel circuits 202 functions as part of the fan-out line in the display area 00a, it can be ensured that the conductive layer patterns in the display field 000 are evenly distributed in the display area 00a, provided that the part of the fan-out line in the display area 00a can be distributed so that the probability of color distortion in the display field 000 is effectively reduced and the display effects of the display field 000 are excellent.
[0039] In summary, the display field according to the embodiment of the present application comprises a base substrate, a plurality of pixel circuits, a plurality of light-emitting components, a plurality of data signal lines, and a plurality of redundant signal lines. A redundant signal line may comprise a first line segment connected to a data signal line. The first line segment may function as part of a fan-out line electrically connected to the data signal line. Since the redundant signal line is located in the display area, the part (i.e.,The first section of the fan-out line, which is electrically connected to the data signal line, can be positioned within the display area. This allows the remaining portion of the fan-out line to occupy less space in the non-display area than the first section, thus efficiently reducing the width of the area occupied by the fan-out line within the non-display area. This effectively improves the screen-to-body ratio of a display device equipped with a display panel, resulting in excellent display performance. Furthermore, the multiple data signal lines and redundant signal lines can be arranged in the same conductive pattern. This conductive pattern, encompassing both the data signal lines and the redundant signal lines, can be evenly distributed throughout the display area.If part of the first redundant signal lines in the area of a column of dummy pixel circuits acts as part of the fan-out line in the display area, it can be ensured that the conductive layer patterns in the display field are evenly distributed in the display area, provided that the part of the fan-out line can be distributed in the display area, so that the probability of color distortion in the display field is effectively reduced and the display effects of the display field are excellent.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, as in Fig. 5 shown, is Fig. 5. A local top view of another display field according to an embodiment of the present application. The display field 000 further comprises a plurality of gate lines G10. The orientation of the gate lines G10 can intersect the orientation of the data signal lines D10. For example, the orientation of the gate lines G10 can be perpendicular to the orientation of the data signal lines D10.
[0041] The plurality of pixel circuits 200 in the display field 000 can furthermore be arranged in a plurality of rows. The plurality of rows of pixel circuits 200 can correspond one-to-one to the plurality of gate lines G10. Each of the plurality of gate lines G10 can be arranged in the area of a corresponding row of pixel circuits 200. Each of the plurality of gate lines G10 can be electrically connected to the first pixel circuits 201 in the corresponding row of pixel circuits 200. In addition, the gate line G10 can be isolated from the dummy pixel circuit 202. That is, the gate line G10 is not electrically connected to the dummy pixel circuit 202.
[0042] Optionally, the display field can be set to 000, as in Fig. Figure 5 shows that the system also includes a multitude of auxiliary signal lines G20 in the display area 00a. The direction of the auxiliary signal lines G20 can intersect the direction of the redundant signal lines D20. For example, the direction of the auxiliary signal lines G20 can be perpendicular to the direction of the redundant signal lines D20.
[0043] In the present application, the orientation of the auxiliary signal lines G20 can be identical to that of the gate lines G10. It should be noted that, due to the high density of the gate lines G10 in display field 000, the auxiliary signal lines G20 and the gate lines G10 must be arranged in different layers, even if the orientation of the auxiliary signal lines G20 is identical to that of the gate lines G10. That is, the conductive pattern of the auxiliary signal lines G20 and the conductive pattern of the gate lines G10 are different conductive patterns, and an insulating layer is arranged between the conductive pattern of the auxiliary signal lines G20 and the conductive pattern of the gate lines G10.
[0044] The auxiliary signal lines G20 and the redundant signal lines D20 are arranged in different layers. That is, the conductive patterns of the auxiliary signal lines G20 and the conductive patterns of the redundant signal lines D20 are different, and an insulating layer is placed between the conductive patterns of the auxiliary signal lines G20 and the conductive patterns of the redundant signal lines D20. This ensures that no short circuit occurs between the auxiliary signal lines G20 and the data signal lines D10, and also no short circuit occurs between the gate lines G10 and the data signal lines D10.
[0045] The multitude of auxiliary signal lines G20 in the display field 000 can correspond one-to-one to the multitude of rows of pixel circuits 200. Each of the multitude of auxiliary signal lines G20 can be arranged within the area of a corresponding row of pixel circuits 200 and be isolated from the pixel circuits in the corresponding row of pixel circuits 200. That is, the auxiliary signal lines G20 are not electrically connected to the pixel signal circuits 200.
[0046] In the present application, at least some of the plurality of auxiliary signal lines G20 are first auxiliary signal lines G201. An auxiliary signal line G20 may include a second line section G21. One end of the second line section G21 may be electrically connected to a data signal line D10. Another end of the second line section G21 may be electrically connected to an end of the first line section D21. In this case, the portion of the fan-out line connected to the data signal line D10 in the display area 00a may include the second line section G21 and the first line section D21. After a plurality of fan-out lines in the display area is bonded and connected to a driver chip, a drive signal may sequentially transmit a data signal through the portion of the fan-out line in the non-display area 00b, the first line section D21, and the second line section G21 to the data signal line D10.
[0047] Since an auxiliary signal line G20 is arranged in each row of pixel circuits 200, the conductive patterns comprising the multitude of auxiliary signal lines G20 can be evenly distributed in display area 00a. The conductive patterns comprising the multitude of redundant signal lines D20 are also evenly distributed in display area 00a. If a portion of the auxiliary signal lines G20 and a portion of the redundant signal lines D20 function as part of the fan-out line in display area 00a, it can be ensured that the conductive layer patterns in display area 000 are evenly distributed in display area 00a, provided that the portion of the fan-out line can be distributed in display area 00a, thus further reducing the probability of color distortion in display area 000.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, as in Fig. 6 shown, is Fig. 6 a schematic structure diagram of film layers of the display field in Fig. 5 an C-C'. Since an insulating layer 001 is arranged between the conductive pattern of the data signal lines D10 and the conductive pattern of the auxiliary signal lines G20, a first via V1 and a second via V2, penetrating the insulating layer 001, must be provided in the display field 000, so that one end of the second conductor section G21 in the first auxiliary signal line G201 can overlap with the data signal line D10 through the first via V1, and the other end of the second conductor section G21 in the first auxiliary signal line G201 can overlap with one end of the first conductor section G21 in the first redundant signal line D201 through the second via V2.
[0049] It should be noted that no control signal is loaded onto portions of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21, so these portions are in a suspended state. While these portions of the redundant signal lines D20 are in a suspended state, they interfere with a gate-scan signal loaded onto the gate line G10 that crosses them. Similarly, no control signal is loaded onto portions of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21, so these portions are also in a suspended state.If the parts of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 are in the suspended state, these parts of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 interfere with a data signal that is loaded onto the data signal line D10, which crosses the parts.
[0050] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, the parts of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21 and the parts of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 must be further processed to ensure that these signal lines do not interfere with the signals loaded onto other signal lines.
[0051] Fig. Figure 7 is a top view of a further display field according to an embodiment of the present application. The display field 000 may further comprise a first current signal line 400 in the non-display area 00b. The first current signal line 400 may be a low-level current signal line (i.e., a VSS current signal line). The first current signal line 400 may be a ring-shaped current signal line.
[0052] The portions of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21 may be electrically connected to the first power signal line 400, and / or the portions of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 may be electrically connected to the first power signal line 400. It should be noted that Fig. 7 illustrates the embodiment by means of an example in which the parts of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21 and the parts of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 are electrically connected to the first current signal line 400.
[0053] Since a VSS signal with a fixed potential is applied to the first power signal line 400, the VSS signal with a fixed potential can also be applied to the portions of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21, provided that these portions are electrically connected to the first power signal line 400. The VSS signal with a fixed potential can also be applied to the portions of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21, provided that these portions are electrically connected to the first power signal line 400.In this way, it can be ensured that the parts of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21, and the parts of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21, are no longer in the suspended state, so that the parts of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21 do not interfere with the gate line G10, and the parts of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 do not interfere with the data line D1.
[0054] Optionally, the portions of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21 can be electrically connected to the portions of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21. As long as one of the portions of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21 and one of the portions of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 is connected to the first power signal line 400, the first power signal line 400 can supply a VSS signal to the portions of the redundant signal lines D20 that are not the first line sections D21 and to the portions of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that are not the second line sections G21.
[0055] Fig. Figure 8 is a schematic distribution diagram of redundant signal lines and auxiliary signal lines according to an embodiment of the present application. In addition to the first line section D21, a first redundant signal line D200 may further comprise a redundant line body D22, which is separated from the first line section D21. For example, a first partition U1 is arranged between the first line section D21 and the redundant line body D22 in the first redundant signal line D201, and the first line section D21 may be isolated from the redundant line body D22 by the first partition U1. In addition to the second line section G21, a first auxiliary signal line G201 may further comprise an auxiliary body G22, which is separated from the second line section G21.For example, a second partition U2 is arranged between the second conductor section G21 and the auxiliary conductor body G22 in the first auxiliary signal line G201, and the second conductor section G21 can be isolated from the auxiliary conductor body G22 by the second partition U2.
[0056] The redundant conductor body D22 in the first redundant signal line D201 can be electrically connected to the auxiliary conductor body G22 in the first auxiliary signal line G201 at a crossing between the redundant conductor body D22 and the auxiliary conductor body G22, so that the part of the first redundant signal line D201 that does not belong to the first line section D21 can be electrically connected to the part of the first auxiliary signal line G201 that does not belong to the second line section G21.
[0057] It should be noted that not all redundant signal lines D20 in display field 000 need to be equipped with the first line section D21, and not all auxiliary signal lines G1 need to be equipped with the second line section G21.
[0058] Thus, a portion of the multiple redundant signal lines D20 in display field 000 can be first redundant signal lines D201, and the other portion of the multiple redundant signal lines D20 can be second redundant signal lines D202. The first redundant signal line D201 can simultaneously comprise the first line section D21 and the redundant line body D22, while the second redundant signal line D201 is not connected to the first line section D21 and is a single, continuous signal line without any partition. The second redundant signal line D202 can be electrically connected to the auxiliary line body G22 in the first auxiliary signal line G201 at a junction between the second redundant signal line D202 and the auxiliary line body G22.
[0059] Additionally or alternatively, a portion of the multiple auxiliary signal lines G20 in display field 000 can be first auxiliary signal lines G201, and the other portion of the multiple auxiliary signal lines G20 can be second auxiliary signal lines G202. The first auxiliary signal line G201 can simultaneously include the second line section G21 and the auxiliary signal line body G22, while the second auxiliary signal line G202 is not provided with the second line section G21 and is a complete signal line without a partition. The second auxiliary signal line G202 can be electrically connected at a junction between the second auxiliary signal line G202 and the redundant line body D22 in the first redundant signal line D201.
[0060] In one embodiment of the present application, in a case where the display field 000 simultaneously includes the second redundant signal line D202 and the second auxiliary signal line G202, the second redundant signal line D202 can be electrically connected to the second auxiliary signal line G202 at a crossing between the second redundant signal line D202 and the second auxiliary signal line G202.
[0061] In this case, it can be ensured that in display field 000, the portions of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21 are electrically connected to the portions of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 at the intersections between these portions. Furthermore, the portions of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21 and the portions of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 can form a grid-like, electrically conductive layer in display field 000.
[0062] Fig. Figure 9 is a schematic structure diagram of the film layers of the display field in Fig. 8 to DD. Since an insulating layer 001 is arranged between the conductive pattern of the redundant signal lines D20 and the conductive pattern of the auxiliary signal lines G20, a third via V3 must be provided in the display field 000, which penetrates the insulating layer 001, so that the parts of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first connection sections D21 can overlap at the intersections with the parts of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second connection sections G21 through the third via V3.
[0063] In the present application, an end section of the second redundant signal line D202 in display field 000 can be electrically connected to the first power signal line 400 and / or an end section of the second auxiliary signal line G202 can be electrically connected to the first power signal line 400. Naturally, an end section of the redundant conductor body D22 in the first redundant signal line D201 can also be electrically connected to the first power signal line 400, and / or an end section of the auxiliary conductor body G22 in the first auxiliary signal line G201 can also be electrically connected to the first power signal line 400.Thus, the grid-shaped electrically conductive layer formed in the display field 000 by the parts of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21 and the parts of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 can be connected to the first current signal line 400.
[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, as in Fig. 10 shown, is Fig. Figure 10 shows a schematic structure diagram of film layers of a display field in a display area according to an embodiment of the present application. The light-emitting component 300 in the display field 000 can comprise an anode 301, a light-emitting layer 302, and a cathode layer 303 arranged one above the other. The anode 301 of the light-emitting component 300 is arranged closer to the base substrate 100 relative to the cathode layer 303.
[0065] Optionally, the display field 000 can further comprise a pixel definition layer 500. The conductive pattern of the anode 301 is arranged closer to the base substrate 100 relative to the pixel definition layer 500. The cathode layer 303 can be arranged on a side of the pixel definition layer 500 facing away from the base substrate 100. The light-emitting layer 302 can be located between the anode 301 and the cathode layer 303. In the pixel definition layer 500, pixel apertures 501 can be formed in a one-to-one correspondence to the plurality of light-emitting devices 300. An orthographic projection of each pixel aperture 501 onto the base substrate 100 can lie within an orthographic projection of the anode 301 of the corresponding light-emitting device 300 onto the base substrate 100.It should be noted that both the light-emitting layer 302 and the cathode layer 303 are film layer structures arranged throughout the entire layer. Therefore, in the display field 000, a portion of the anode 301 in the corresponding pixel aperture 501, a portion of the light-emitting layer 302 in the pixel aperture 501, and a portion of the cathode layer 303 in the pixel aperture 501 form a light-emitting device 300. For example, the light-emitting device 300 can be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device.
[0066] In the present application, each first pixel circuit 201 in the display field 000 can be electrically connected to the anode 301 in the corresponding light-emitting component 300. The cathode layer in the corresponding light-emitting component 300 can be electrically connected to the first current signal 400.
[0067] Since the cathode layer 303 in the display field 000 is a film layer structure arranged throughout the layer, the first current signal line 400 can supply a VSS signal to the light-emitting devices 300 when the cathode layer 303 is electrically connected to the first current signal line 400. Because the thickness of the cathode layer 303 is typically small, its resistance is generally high. If the lattice-shaped electrically conductive layer formed by the portions of the redundant signal lines D20 that do not belong to the first line sections D21 and the portions of the auxiliary signal lines G20 that do not belong to the second line sections G21 is electrically connected to the cathode layer 303, the lattice-shaped electrically conductive layer can act as an auxiliary electrode for the cathode layer 303.Therefore, the resistance of the cathode layer 303 can be reduced by the grid-shaped electrically conductive layer, so that the VSS signals are consistent at different points on the cathode layer 303 and the uniformity of the VSS signals applied to the cathode layer 303 is ensured.
[0068] Optionally, display field 000 may also include a second current signal line (not shown). At least part of the second current signal line may be located in display area 00a. The second current signal line may be electrically connected to various valid drive circuits 201 in display area 00a. The second current signal line may be a high-level current signal line (i.e., a VDD current signal line). A VDD signal may be supplied via the second current signal line to various valid drive circuits 201, so that the valid drive circuits 201 can control the corresponding light-emitting components 300 to emit light.
[0069] In one embodiment of the present application, as in Fig. 11 shown, is Fig. 11 A local top view of a display field according to an embodiment of the present application. The display field 000 may further comprise a plurality of connecting lines F in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of data signal lines D10. The plurality of connecting lines F may be arranged in the non-display area 00b of the display field 000. A portion of the plurality of connecting lines F may be electrically connected to a corresponding data signal line D10 via the first line section D21 and the second line section G21. In a case where the connecting line F must be electrically connected to a corresponding data signal line D10 via the first line section D21 and the second line section G21, the connecting line F, the first line section D21, and the second line section G21 form a fan-out line that corresponds to the data signal line D10.In this way, it can be ensured that part of the fan-out line is located in display area 00a, thus effectively reducing the space occupied by the fan-out line in non-display area 00b. The other part of the plurality of connecting lines F can be directly electrically connected to a corresponding data signal line D10. In a case where connecting line F is directly electrically connected to data signal line D10, connecting line F is a fan-out line corresponding to data signal line D10.
[0070] In the present application, the plurality of connecting lines F in the non-display area 00b is configured to be connected to a driver assembly. For example, the driver assembly can be located at a position B1 in the non-display area 00b, so that the driver assembly can supply a data signal via the connecting lines F to the corresponding data signal line D10.
[0071] For example, the multiple data signal lines D10 in display field 000 can be connected to the driver chip by bringing the multiple data signal lines D1 together from both sides towards the center and connecting them to the driver chip. Since the data signal lines D10 on both sides of the driver chip's bond point B1 are further away from the driver chip, and the data signal lines D10 in the center are closer to the driver signal, the data signal lines D10 on both sides must be connected to the corresponding connection lines F via the second connection section G21 and the first connection section D21, and the data signal lines D10 in the center can be connected directly to the corresponding connection lines F.
[0072] For the data signal lines D10 on both sides, the driver assembly can supply data signals to the data signal lines D10 via the corresponding connecting line F, the first line section D21, and the second line section G21. For the data signal lines D10 in the middle, the driver assembly can supply data signals directly to the data signal lines D10 via the corresponding connecting line F.
[0073] In one embodiment of the present application, as in Fig. 12 shown, is Fig. Figure 12 shows a top view of a display field according to an embodiment of the present application. The display field 000 may further comprise a GOA (Gate Driver On Array) circuit 600. At least part of the GOA circuit 600 may be arranged in the display area 00a of the display field 000. In general, two GOA circuits 600 are provided. The two GOA circuits 600 may typically be arranged on either side of the display field 000. The two ends of each gate line G10 in the display field 000 may be electrically connected to the two GOA circuits 600. Gate sampling signals may be supplied to the gate lines G10 via the GOA circuits 600. In the present application, since at least part of the GOA circuit 600 is located in the display field 000 in the display area 00a, the width of the non-display area 00b of the display field 000 can be further reduced.In this way, the screen ratio of the display device equipped with the display field can be further improved.
[0074] For example, Fig. 13, as in Fig. Figure 13 shows a top view of another display field according to an embodiment of the present application. An orthographic projection of the GOA circuit 600 in the display field 000 on the base substrate 100 can overlap with an orthographic projection of the anode 301 of the light-emitting component 300 on the base substrate 100. Thus, part of the light-emitting component 300 in the display field 000 can be arranged on a side of the GOA circuit 600 facing away from the base substrate 100, so that an area provided with the GOA circuit 600 can display images normally in the display field 000.
[0075] In the present application, the display area 00a in the display field 000 can comprise a first display sub-area 00a1, a second display sub-area 00a2, and a third display sub-area 00a3. The second display sub-area 00a2 can be located between the first display sub-area 00a1 and the third display sub-area 00a3. The light-emitting components 300 can be arranged in the first display sub-area 00a1, the second display sub-area 00a2, and the third display sub-area 00a3. Therefore, the light emission of the light-emitting components 300 in these three display sub-areas can ensure that all three display sub-areas can display the corresponding images.
[0076] The plurality of pixel circuits 200 in the display field 000 can be arranged in the first display sub-area 00a1 and the second display sub-area 00a2 and outside the third display sub-area 00a3. At least a part of the GOA circuit 600 in the display field 000 can be arranged in the third display sub-area 00a3. It should be noted that the pixel circuit 200 and the GOA circuit 600 can generally comprise a transistor, and the transistor in the pixel circuit 200 and the transistor in the GOA circuit 600 are generally formed simultaneously. In the present application, the pixel circuit 200 is arranged outside the third display sub-area 00a3, and at least a part of the GOA circuit 600 is arranged in the third display sub-area 00a3.This ensures that there is no mutual interference between the position of the GOA circuit 600 and the position of the pixel circuit 200, provided that the GOA circuit 600 is located in the display area 00a.
[0077] In the present application, the pixel circuits arranged in the first display sub-area 00a1 can comprise, from the plurality of pixel circuits 200, first pixel circuits 201 and dummy pixel circuits 202. The pixel circuits arranged in the second display sub-area 00a2, from the plurality of pixel circuits 200, can be first pixel circuits 201. Some of the first pixel circuits 201 arranged in the second display sub-area 00a2 can be electrically connected to the light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2. The other part of the first pixel circuits 201 arranged in the second display sub-area 00a2 can be electrically connected to the light-emitting components 300 in the third display sub-area 00a3.
[0078] It should be noted that in the first display sub-area 00a, a plurality of columns of first pixel circuits 201 and a plurality of columns of dummy pixel circuits 202 are arranged offset. The number of columns of first pixel circuits 201 is greater than the number of columns of dummy pixel circuits 202, so that at least two columns of first pixel circuits 201 can be arranged between two adjacent columns of dummy pixel circuits 202. In contrast to a display field in the technology in which a plurality of pixel circuits are electrically connected in a one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of light-emitting components, the plurality of pixel circuits 200 in the display field 000 according to the embodiment of the present application is obtained by compressing the plurality of pixel circuits in the display field in the technology in the technology in question in a row direction.Thus, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of pixel circuits 200 is greater than the number of light-emitting components 300, and the width of the pixel circuit 200 in the line direction in the display field 000 according to the embodiment of the present application is much smaller than the width of the light-emitting component 300.
[0079] For example, Fig. 14, as in Fig. Figure 14 shows a locally enlarged representation of the display field in Fig. 12 at A2. In the first display sub-area 00a of the display field 000, the ratio of the number of columns of first pixel circuits 201 to the number of columns of dummy pixel circuits 202 is N:1. That is, between two adjacent columns of dummy pixel circuits 202, N columns of dummy pixel circuits 202 can be arranged. N can be an integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 6. See also Fig. 15. Fig. Figure 15 is a further schematic diagram of the connection between a plurality of light-emitting devices and a plurality of first pixel circuits according to an embodiment of the present application. In a case where N equals 4, four columns of first pixel circuits 201 and one column of dummy pixel circuits 202 can be arranged in a region of four adjacent columns of light-emitting devices 300 in the first display subregion 00a, wherein the four columns of first pixel circuits 201 are electrically connected in a one-to-one correspondence with the four adjacent columns of light-emitting devices 300.It should be noted that the four adjacent columns of light-emitting components 300 can be one column of light-emitting components for emitting red light, one column of light-emitting components for emitting blue light, and two columns of light-emitting components for emitting green light. Thus, the light-emitting components in the display field 000 are arranged in an RGBB mode. In the row direction of the multitude of light-emitting components 300, one light-emitting component R for emitting red light, one light-emitting component B for emitting blue light, and two light-emitting components G for emitting green light, arranged adjacent to each other, can form a pixel group.
[0080] In one embodiment of the present application, the density of the light-emitting components 300 in the first display sub-area 00a1, the density of the light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2, and the density of the light-emitting components 300 in the third display sub-area 00a3 are equal. This ensures that the display effect of the first display sub-area 00a1, the display effect of the second display sub-area 00a2, and the display effect of the third display sub-area 00a3 are essentially the same, thus effectively improving the overall display effect of the display field.
[0081] It should be noted that, since two GOA circuits 600 are provided in display field 000, two third display sub-areas 00a3 are required in display area 00a, so that the two GOA circuits are each arranged between the two third display sub-areas 00a3. Since the second display sub-area 00a2 must be arranged between the third display sub-area 00a3 and the first display sub-area 00a1, two second display sub-areas 00a2 are required in display area 00a. In this case, the first display area 00a1 must be arranged in display area 00a between two second display areas 00a2, and the third display area 00a3 must be arranged on the side of the second display area 00a2 facing away from the first display area 00a1.
[0082] In one embodiment of the present application, the density of the pixel circuits 200 in the first display sub-area 00a1 corresponds to the density of the pixel circuits 200 in the second display sub-area 00a2.
[0083] In this case, it will be applied to Fig. 16 referred. Fig. Figure 16 is a schematic diagram of the electrical connection between light-emitting components and the first pixel circuits at A3 in the display field in Fig. 12. Since the pixel circuits 200 in the second display sub-area 00a2 are first pixel circuits 201, and the width of the pixel circuit 200 in the row direction is significantly smaller than the width of the light-emitting component 300, the number of columns of first pixel circuits 201 is greater than the number of columns of light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2. In this way, a portion of the first pixel circuits 201 in the second display sub-area 00a2 can be electrically connected in a one-to-one correspondence with the multitude of light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2. The other part of the first pixel circuits 201 in the second display sub-area 00a2 does not need to be connected to the multitude of light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2 and can be electrically connected to the multitude of light-emitting components 300 in the third display sub-area 00a3.
[0084] For example, the number of columns of first pixel circuits 201 in the second display sub-area 00a2 corresponds to the number of columns of light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2 and in the third display sub-area 00a3. That is, the number of columns of first pixel circuits 201 in the second display sub-area 00a2 corresponds to the sum of the number of columns of light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2 and the number of columns of light-emitting components 300 in the third display sub-area 00a3. Thus, the multitude of columns of first pixel circuits 201 in the second display sub-area 00a2 can be electrically connected in a one-to-one correspondence with the multitude of columns of light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2 and in the third display sub-area 00a3. That is,The multitude of columns of first pixel circuits 201 in the second display sub-area 00a2 can be electrically connected to the anodes 301 of the multitude of columns of light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2 and in the third display sub-area 00a3. This ensures that the anodes 301 of the light-emitting components 300 in the third display sub-area 00a3 are connected to the first pixel circuits 201 in the second display sub-area 00a2, provided that no first pixel circuits 201 are arranged in the third display sub-area 00a3, allowing the GOA circuit 600 to be arranged in the third display sub-area 00a3. Thus, the GOA circuit 600 in the third display sub-area 00a3 can be hidden within the display area 00a.
[0085] In one embodiment of the present application, as in Fig. 17 shown, is Fig. Figure 17 shows a schematic diagram of the connection between anodes of light-emitting devices and first pixel circuits according to an embodiment of the present application. The display field 000 can further comprise a plurality of transparent connecting lines L in the second display sub-area 00a2 and in the third display sub-area 00a3. Anodes 301 of at least some of the light-emitting devices 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2 and in the third display sub-area 00a3 can be electrically connected to corresponding first pixel circuits 201 via the transparent connecting lines L.Since the transparent connecting lines L have a higher light transmittance and a lower light reflection, in a case where the anodes 301 of the light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2 and in the third display sub-area 00a3 are connected to the corresponding first pixel circuits 201 via the transparent connecting lines L, it can be ensured that the reflectivity of the second display sub-area 00a2 and the third display sub-area 00a3 to the ambient light corresponds essentially to the reflectivity of the first display sub-area 00a1 to the ambient light, provided that the light-emitting components 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2 and the third display sub-area 00a3 can be normally connected to the corresponding first pixel circuits 201, so that the reliability of the display field 000 is high.
[0086] In one embodiment of the present application, as in Fig. 18 shown, is Fig. Figure 18 shows a schematic distribution diagram of a transparent connecting line and an auxiliary signal line according to an embodiment of the present application. The transparent connecting line L can comprise a first transparent line section L1 and a second transparent line section L2, which are connected to each other. The direction of travel of the first transparent line section L1 in the transparent connecting line L coincides with the direction of travel of the auxiliary signal lines G20, and the direction of travel of the second transparent line section L2 intersects the direction of travel of the auxiliary signal lines G20.
[0087] In the present application, an orthographic projection of the first transparent conductor section L1 in the transparent connecting lines L in display field 000 on the base substrate 100 cannot overlap with an orthographic projection of the auxiliary signal line G20 on the base substrate 100, nor can it overlap with an orthographic projection of the second transparent conductor section L2 in at least a portion of the transparent connecting lines L in display field 000 on the base substrate 100. In this case, it can be ensured that the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the transparent connecting line L in display field 000 on the base substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the auxiliary signal line G20 on the substrate 100 is small, so that the parasitic capacitance between the transparent connecting line L and the auxiliary signal line G20 is small.For example, the ratio of the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of at least one transparent connecting line L on the base substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of at least one auxiliary signal line G20 on the base substrate 100 to the total area of the orthographic projection of the at least one transparent connecting line L on the base substrate 100 is less than or equal to 30%. This ensures that, in a case where the first pixel circuit 201 transmits signals via the transparent connecting line L to the anode 301 of the corresponding light-emitting component 300, the transparent connecting line L is less affected by the auxiliary signal line G20, allowing the light-emitting components 300 to produce better lighting effects in the second display sub-area 00a2 and the third display sub-area 00a3.
[0088] Optionally, on Fig. 19 referred. Fig. Figure 19 is a schematic diagram of the relative positional relationship between an anode of a light-emitting device and transparent signal lines according to an embodiment of the present application. An orthographic projection of the anodes 301 of at least part of the light-emitting devices 300 in the second display sub-area 00a2 and in the third display sub-area 00a3 on the base substrate 100 overlaps with an orthographic projection of at least two transparent signal lines on the base substrate. The anodes 301 and the transparent signal lines L, whose orthographic projections on the base substrate 100 overlap, are not electrically connected to each other. That is, the transparent signal line L is electrically connected to the anode 301 of the corresponding light-emitting device 300 after passing through another light-emitting device 300.
[0089] In this case, it will be applied to Fig. 20 referred. Fig. Figure 20 is a schematic structure diagram of film layers of the display field in Fig. 19 on E-E'.
[0090] At least two transparent signal lines L are arranged below (i.e. on a side facing the base substrate 100) the anode 301 of the light-emitting device 300, so that the flatness of the anode 301 is large and the light-emitting device 300 can produce better light effects.
[0091] In one embodiment of the present application, as in Fig.Figure 20 shows a first planarization layer 701 arranged between a conductive layer of the transparent signal line L in the display field 000 and a conductive layer of the anode 301. A conductive layer of the data signal line D10 in the display field 000 can be arranged on a side of the first planarization layer 701 facing the base substrate 100. The data signal line D10 in the display field 000 and the VDD current signal line can be arranged in the same layer and made of the same material. A second planarization layer 702 is arranged between a conductive layer of the data signal line D10 and a conductive layer of the transparent signal line L. The auxiliary signal line G20 in the display field 000 can be arranged on a side of the second planarization layer 702 facing the base substrate 100.A third planarization layer 703 is arranged between a conductive layer of the second auxiliary signal line G20 and a conductive layer of the data signal line D10.
[0092] It should be noted that the pixel circuits 200 and the GOA circuits 600 in the present application can be arranged on a side of the third planarization layer 703 facing the base substrate 100. Therefore, a via must be formed in the first planarization layer 701, the second planarization layer 702, and the third planarization layer 703 so that the first pixel circuit 201 is electrically connected to the anode 301 of the corresponding light-emitting device 300 via the via. Furthermore, no via is provided in the planarization layer between the dummy pixel circuit 202 and the light-emitting device 300 in the display field 000, so that the dummy pixel circuit 202 is isolated from the light-emitting device 300 by the planarization layer.Likewise, no via is provided in the planarization layer between the GOA circuit 600 and the light-emitting component 300 in the display field 000, so that the GOA circuit 600 is isolated from the light-emitting component 300 by the planarization layer.
[0093] In one embodiment of the present application, the display field 000 can further comprise an encapsulation layer. The encapsulation layer can be arranged on a side facing away from the base substrate 100 of a plurality of light-emitting components 300. The encapsulation layer can isolate moisture and oxygen from the external environment, so that the moisture and oxygen in the external environment do not attack the light-emitting layer 302 in the light-emitting component 300 and the light-emitting component 300 has a long service life.
[0094] In summary, the display field according to the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a base substrate, a plurality of pixel circuits, a plurality of light-emitting components, a plurality of data signal lines, and a plurality of redundant signal lines. A redundant signal line may comprise a first line segment connected to a data signal line. The first line segment may function as part of a fan-out line electrically connected to the data signal line. Since the redundant signal line is located in the display area, the part (i.e.,The first section of the fan-out line, which is electrically connected to the data signal line, should be located in the display area, so that the other part of the fan-out line occupies less space in the non-display area than the first section, and the width of the area in which the fan-out line is located is effectively reduced in the non-display area.
[0095] In this way, the screen ratio of a display device equipped with a display field is effectively improved, resulting in excellent display performance. Furthermore, the data signal lines and redundant signal lines can be arranged in the same conductive pattern, and this conductive pattern, encompassing both the data and redundant signal lines, can be evenly distributed across the display area.If part of the first redundant signal lines in the area of a column of dummy pixel circuits acts as part of the fan-out line in the display area, it can be ensured that the conductive layer patterns in the display field are evenly distributed in the display area, provided that the part of the fan-out line can be distributed in the display area, so that the probability of color distortion in the display field is effectively reduced and the display effects of the display field are excellent.

The display device can be a product or component with a display function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a display, a laptop computer, a digital photo frame, a navigation device, and the like.
