[0003] Organic light emitting diode (OLED) display devices have the characteristics of wide viewing angle, high contrast, fast response speed, wide color gamut, high screen-to-body ratio, self-emitting, light weight, thin and so on. In addition, compared with inorganic light emitting display devices, organic light emitting diode display devices have advantages such as higher light emission brightness and lower driving voltage. Due to the above characteristics and advantages, organic light emitting diode (OLED) display devices have gradually attracted attention and can be applied to devices with display function such as mobile phones, displays, notebook computers, smart watches, digital cameras, instrumentation, flexible wearable devices and so on. With the further development of display technology, display devices with high screen-to-body ratio can no longer meet people's needs, and full-screen display devices have become the development trend of future display technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are described below clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are not all the embodiments, but are a part of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
[0029] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by a person skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. The terms "first", "second" and similar words used in this disclosure do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but are used only to distinguish different components. Similarly, similar words such as "one", "one", "the" and the like do not denote a quantity limit, but denote at least one. Similar words such as "comprise" or "contain" mean that the element or thing appearing before the word covers the element or thing listed after the word and their equivalents, but does not exclude other elements or things. Similar words such as "connect" or "couple" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Top", "bottom", "left", "right", and the like are used only to indicate relative positional relationships, and when the absolute position of the objects described is changed, the relative positional relationships may change accordingly.
[0030] The inventors of the present disclosure have found that for a current display substrate with an under-screen sensor (e.g., a camera), in order to increase the transmittance of the display area of the display substrate corresponding to the under-screen sensor (e.g., a camera), the distribution density per unit area (PPI) of the light-emitting elements in the display area corresponding to the under-screen sensor (camera) is smaller than the distribution density per unit area of the light-emitting elements in other display areas of the display substrate. An exemplary description is given below with reference to Figures 1A and 1B.
[0031] Fig. 1A is a schematic cross-sectional view of a display substrate 500, Fig. 1B is a schematic plan view of the display substrate 500 shown in Fig. 1A, where the display substrate 500 shown in Fig. 1A corresponds to the line BB' of the display substrate 10 shown in Fig. 1B. Fig. 1C is a schematic diagram of a partial region 513 of the display substrate 500 shown in Fig. 1B.
[0032] As shown in FIG. 1A, the display substrate 500 includes a display layer 510 and a sensing layer 520, and the sensing layer 520 is disposed on the non-display side (i.e., the side away from the user) of the display substrate 500. As shown in FIG. 1A-FIG. 1C, the display layer 510 includes a first display area 511 and a second display area 512, the first display area 511 includes a plurality of first pixel units 531 arranged in an array, each of the plurality of first pixel units 531 including a first light-emitting element and a first pixel circuit, and the second display area 512 includes a plurality of second pixel units 532 arranged in an array, each of the plurality of second pixel units 532 including a second light-emitting element and a second pixel circuit. For example, the plurality of first light-emitting elements and the plurality of second light-emitting elements have the same structure and performance characteristics, and the plurality of first pixel circuits and the plurality of second first pixel circuits have the same structure and performance characteristics.
[0033] As shown in FIG. 1A, the sensing layer 520 includes a sensor 521 that overlaps with the first display area 511 in the normal direction to the display surface of the display substrate 500 and is configured to receive and process optical signals passing through the first display area 511.
[0034] As shown in FIG. 1C, in order to reduce blocking of optical signals incident on the first display area 511 and transmitted toward the sensor 521 by elements in the first display area 511, the distribution density per unit area of the multiple first pixel units 531 in the first display area 511 is smaller than the distribution density per unit area of the multiple second pixel units 532 in the second display area 512, and the distribution density per unit area of the multiple first light-emitting elements in the first display area 511 is smaller than the distribution density per unit area of the multiple second light-emitting elements in the second display area 512.
[0035] The inventors of the present disclosure have further discovered that, by reducing the distribution density per unit area (PPI) of the first light-emitting elements and increasing the distance between adjacent first light-emitting elements, the transmittance of the display area corresponding to the under-screen sensor (camera) of the display substrate can be improved to a certain extent, but the effect of improving the transmittance is still limited, and it is difficult to fully meet users' demands for obtaining high-quality photos with an under-screen camera.
[0036] As shown in Figures 1A to 1C, a data cable 541 and a gate line 542 of the display substrate pass through a first display area 511. Figure 1D is a schematic diagram of a part of the first display area and a part of the second display area of the display substrate 500 shown in Figure 1B. As shown in Figure 1D, the data cable 541 passes through the first display area 511.
[0037] The inventors of the present disclosure have also discovered that the data cables 541 and gate lines 542 passing through the first display area 511 can not only block the light entering the first display area 511 and casting towards the sensor 521, but also cause diffraction, which may result in ghost phenomenon in the image output from the sensor, thus further reducing the image quality of the image output by the sensor.
[0038] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate and a display device, the display substrate including a display region, at least one first signal line, and at least one connecting wire, the display region including a first display region and a second display region at least partially surrounding the first display region, the first display region including at least one first light-emitting element, the second display region including at least one first pixel circuit, the at least one first signal line including a first body portion and a first winding portion, the first body portion extending along a first direction, at least a portion of the first winding portion extending along a direction intersecting the first direction, the at least one first signal line electrically connected to the at least one first pixel circuit to transmit a first driving signal to the at least one first pixel circuit, the at least one first pixel circuit electrically connected to the at least one first light-emitting element via a corresponding connecting wire, and the at least one first pixel circuit configured to drive the at least one first light-emitting element, respectively.
[0039] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a display device, including any one of the display substrates provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the display substrate and the display device can increase the transmittance of the first display region.
[0040] The following provides a non-limiting description of the display substrate and display device provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure through several examples or embodiments. As described below, different features of these specific examples or embodiments can be combined with each other to obtain new examples or embodiments without mutual contradiction, and these new examples or embodiments also fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0041] FIG. 2A is a schematic plan view of a display substrate 01 provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2A, the display substrate 01 includes a display area 10 and a peripheral area 14, where the display area 10 includes a first display area 11, a second display area 12, and a third display area 13, and the peripheral area 14 surrounds at least a portion (e.g., the entirety) of the third display area 13. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the first display area 11, the second display area 12, and the third display area 13 do not overlap with each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the third display area 13 surrounds at least a portion (e.g., a part) of the second display area 12. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the third display area 13 surrounds a part of the second display area 12. It should be noted that in some examples, the display substrate 01 may not include the peripheral area 14.
[0042] Fig. 2B is a schematic plan view of the first display area 11 and the second display area 12 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A. For example, as shown in Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B, the second display area 12 surrounds at least a portion (e.g., the entirety) of the first display area 11.
[0043] For example, as shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the first display area 11 may have a circular shape and the second display area 12 may have a rectangular shape, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. Also, for example, the first display area 11 and the second display area 12 may both have a rectangular shape or other suitable shapes.
[0044] Fig. 2C is an example of the first display region 11 and the second display region 12 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2B. Fig. 2D is an enlarged view of the partial region REG1 of Fig. 2C. Fig. 2E is an enlarged view of the partial region REG3 of the first display region 11 shown in Fig. 2D.
[0045] For example, as shown in FIG. 2C-FIG. 2E, the first display area 11 includes a plurality of first light-emitting elements 411. For clarity, the related drawings use an anode structure 4111 of the first light-emitting element 411 to illustrate the first light-emitting element 411 in a schematic manner. For example, as shown in FIG. 2C-FIG. 2E, the first display area 11 includes a plurality of first pixel units 41 arranged in an array, each of the plurality of first pixel units 41 includes a first quantity of first light-emitting elements 411 configured to emit light of a second quantity of colors. For example, as shown in FIG. 2C-FIG. 2E, the anode structures 4111 of different first light-emitting elements 411 in the first quantity of first light-emitting elements 411 have different shapes. Correspondingly, the different first light-emitting elements 411 in the first quantity of first light-emitting elements 411 have different shapes.
[0046] For example, as shown in FIG. 2C to FIG. 2E, the first quantity may be 4, and the second quantity may be 3, that is, each of the plurality of first pixel units 41 includes four first light-emitting elements 411, and the four first light-emitting elements 411 are configured to emit light of three colors (e.g., red, green, and blue). For example, each of the plurality of first pixel units 41 includes four first light-emitting elements 411 (e.g., GGRB, i.e., two green light-emitting elements, one red light-emitting element, and one blue light-emitting element), and the four light-emitting elements (e.g., GGRB) are configured to emit green, green, red, and blue light, respectively. Also, for example, when each of the plurality of first pixel units 41 includes four first light-emitting elements 411, the arrangement of the four first light-emitting elements 411 is not limited to GGRB, and the arrangement of the four first light-emitting elements 411 may also be RGBG or other suitable arrangement. However, in some examples, both the first quantity and the second quantity may be three, in which case each of the multiple first pixel units 41 includes three first light-emitting elements 411 (eg, RGB).
[0047] For example, as shown in FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, the second display area 12 includes a plurality of first pixel circuits 412. For example, the plurality of first pixel circuits 412 are configured to drive a plurality of first light-emitting elements 411 in one-to-one correspondence. For example, the white rectangular frames shown in FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D represent first pixel driving units, and each first pixel driving unit includes a first quantity of pixel circuits. For example, in the second display area 12 shown in FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, the ratio between the quantity of the first pixel driving units and the quantity of the first pixel units 41 is 3, and accordingly, for every three first pixel driving units, only the pixel circuit of one first pixel driving unit is used to drive the first light-emitting element 411. Therefore, the pixel circuit included in the first pixel driving unit for driving the first light-emitting element 411 is called the first pixel circuit 412, and the pixel circuit included in the first pixel driving unit that does not drive the first light-emitting element 411 is called a dummy pixel circuit. For example, the first pixel circuit 412 and the dummy pixel circuit have the same circuit structure. For example, each of the first quantity of first pixel circuits 412 included in the first pixel driving unit for driving the first light-emitting element 411 is configured to drive the first quantity of first light-emitting elements 411 of the corresponding one of the first pixel units 41 in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, as shown in Figures 2C to 2E, the multiple first light-emitting elements 411 are arranged in an array, and the multiple first pixel circuits 412 are arranged in the array. For clarity, the specific structures of the first light-emitting element 411 and the first pixel circuit 412 are described in the example shown in Figure 5D and are omitted here.
[0048] For example, as shown in FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, the second display area 12 further includes a plurality of second pixel units 42, and each of the plurality of second pixel units 42 includes a second light-emitting element 421 (e.g., a first number of second light-emitting elements 421) and a second pixel circuit 422 (e.g., a first number of second pixel circuits 422) for driving the second light-emitting element 421. For example, as shown in FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, each of the plurality of second pixel units 42 includes a second light-emitting element 421 and a second pixel circuit 422 (i.e., a rectangular frame at least partially overlapping with the second light-emitting element 421), which are at least partially overlapped in the normal direction of the display surface of the display substrate 01 (e.g., a direction perpendicular to the display substrate 01). For example, as shown in FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, the plurality of second pixel units 42 are arranged in an array. For clarity, the specific structure of the second pixel unit 42 is described in the example shown in FIG. 5E and will be omitted here. It should be noted that the rectangular frame shown in FIG. 2D is only used to explain the second pixel circuit 422, and does not indicate the specific shape of the second pixel circuit 422 and the specific boundary of the second pixel circuit 422.
[0049] For example, the first number of second light-emitting elements 421 included in the second pixel unit 42 and the first number of first light-emitting elements 411 included in the first pixel unit 41 have the same arrangement manner and structure. For example, the first number of second pixel circuits 422 included in the second pixel unit 42 and the first number of first pixel circuits 412 included in the first pixel driving unit for driving the first light-emitting elements 411 have the same arrangement manner and structure.
[0050] FIG. 2F is an enlarged view of a partial region REG2 of the third display region 13 of the display substrate 01 shown in FIG. 2A. For example, as shown in FIG. 2F, the third display region 13 includes a plurality of third pixel units 43, and each of the plurality of third pixel units 43 includes a third light-emitting element 431 (e.g., a first number of third light-emitting elements 431) and a third pixel circuit 432 (e.g., a first number of third pixel circuits 432) for driving the third light-emitting element 431. For example, as shown in FIG. 2F, each of the plurality of third pixel units 43 includes a third light-emitting element 431 and a third pixel circuit 432 that at least partially overlap in the normal direction of the display surface of the display substrate 01. For clarity, the specific structure of the third pixel unit 43 is described in the example shown in FIG. 5F and is omitted here. It should be noted that the rectangular frame shown in FIG. 2F is only used to show the third pixel circuit 432, and does not show the specific shape of the third pixel circuit 432 and the specific boundary of the third pixel circuit 432.
[0051] For example, the first quantity of third light-emitting elements 431 included in the third pixel unit 43 have the same arrangement manner and structure as the first quantity of first light-emitting elements 411 included in the first pixel unit 41. For example, the first quantity of third pixel circuits 432 included in the third pixel unit 43 have the same arrangement manner and structure as the first quantity of first pixel circuits 412 included in the first pixel driving unit for driving the first light-emitting elements 411.
[0052] For example, as shown in FIG. 2D and FIG. 2F, the distribution density per unit area of the plurality of first light-emitting elements 411 in the first display region 11 is smaller than the distribution density per unit area of the plurality of third light-emitting elements 431 in the second display region 12, and the distribution density per unit area of the plurality of second light-emitting elements 421 in the second display region 12 is smaller than the distribution density per unit area of the plurality of third light-emitting elements 431 in the second display region 12. For example, the first display region 11 and the second display region 12 may be called low-resolution regions of the display substrate 01. For example, as shown in FIG. 2D, the distribution density per unit area of the plurality of first light-emitting elements 411 in the first display region 11 is equal to the distribution density per unit area of the plurality of second light-emitting elements 421 in the second display region 12.
[0053] 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a display device 03 provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the display device 03 includes a display substrate 01 shown in FIG. 2A. The schematic cross-sectional view of the display device 03 shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to the line AA' shown in FIG. 2A. As shown in FIG. 3, the display device 03 further includes a sensor 02.
[0054] For example, the display substrate 01 includes a display side and a non-display side opposite each other, and the display substrate 01 is configured to perform a display operation on the display side of the display substrate 01, i.e., the display side of the display substrate 01 is the light-emitting side of the display substrate 01 and faces the user. The display side and the non-display side are disposed opposite each other in a normal direction to the display surface of the display substrate 01.
[0055] 3, the sensor 02 and the first display region 11 overlap in the normal direction of the display surface of the display substrate 01 (for example, a direction perpendicular to the display substrate 01), and are configured to receive and process optical signals passing through the first display region 11, and the optical signals may be visible light, infrared light, etc. For example, no pixel circuit is arranged in the first display region 11, in which case the transmittance of the first display region 11 can be increased.
[0056] For example, by disposing a plurality of first pixel circuits 412 configured to drive a plurality of first light emitting elements 411 in one-to-one correspondence in the second display area 12 and disposing the sensor 02 and the first display area 11 so as to overlap in the normal direction of the display surface of the display substrate 01, it is possible to reduce the blocking of optical signals incident on the first display area 11 and transmitted toward the sensor 02 by elements in the first display area 11, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the image output by the sensor 02. For example, the first display area 11 may be referred to as a high light transmission area of a low resolution area of the display substrate 01.
[0057] For example, the sensor 02 may be an image sensor for collecting an image of the external environment facing the light collecting surface of the sensor 02, for example, a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and the sensor 02 may also be an infrared sensor, a distance sensor, etc. For example, if the display device 03 is a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a notebook, the sensor 02 may be implemented as a camera of the mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a notebook, and may include an optical device for modulating the light path, such as a lens, a mirror, or an optical waveguide, as necessary. For example, the sensor 02 may include photosensitive pixels arranged in an array. For example, each photosensitive pixel may include a photosensitive detector (for example, a photodiode, a phototransistor) and a switching transistor (for example, a switching transistor). For example, the photodiode may convert an irradiated light signal into an electrical signal, and the switching transistor may be electrically connected to the photodiode to control whether the photodiode is in a state to collect the light signal and the time to collect the light.
[0058] In some examples, in the first display region 11, only the anode of the first light emitting element 411 is opaque, that is, the wiring used to drive the first light emitting element 411 bypasses the first display region 11 or is set as a transparent wiring. In this case, not only can the transmittance of the first display region 11 be further increased, but also diffraction by each element in the first display region 11 can be reduced. An illustrative description will be given below with reference to the example shown in FIG.
[0059] Fig. 4 is a first example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A. Fig. 5A is a first schematic diagram showing a first display area 11, a second display area 12, and a part of a peripheral area 14 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 4.
[0060] As shown in Figures 4 and 5A, the display substrate 01 includes at least one first signal line 20, at least one second signal line 30 and at least one connecting wire 60. For clarity, the sizes of the first display area 11 and the second display area 12 are enlarged in Figure 4, and the size of the third display area 13 is reduced in the first direction D1. For ease of explanation, a data driving circuit is also shown in Figure 4.
[0061] In one example, the at least one first signal line includes a plurality of first signal lines and the at least one first pixel circuit includes a plurality of first pixel circuits, in another example, the at least one first signal line includes one first signal line and the at least one first pixel circuit includes a plurality of first pixel circuits, and in yet another example, the at least one first signal line includes a plurality of first signal lines and the at least one first pixel circuit includes one first pixel circuit.
[0062] For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 5A, the first display area 11 includes at least one first light-emitting element 411, the second display area 12 includes at least one first pixel circuit 412, at least one connection wiring 60 is electrically connected to the at least one first pixel circuit 412 and the at least one first light-emitting element 411 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the at least one first pixel circuit 412 is configured to drive the at least one first light-emitting element 411 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0063] 4 and 5A, at least one connection wiring 60 extends from the first display region 11 to the second display region 12 along the second direction D2. Note that, as shown in FIG. 5A, a line segment connected between a first number of first light-emitting elements 411 included in each first pixel unit 41 and a first number of first pixel circuits 412 included in each first pixel driving unit for driving the first light-emitting elements 411 represents a first number (e.g., four) of connection wirings 60.
[0064] For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 5A, at least one first pixel circuit 412 is arranged in parallel with at least one first light-emitting element 411 driven in one-to-one correspondence by the at least one first pixel circuit 412 in a second direction D2 that intersects (e.g., is perpendicular to) the first direction D1.
[0065] For example, a portion of the at least one connecting wire 60 in the first display area 11 is a transparent wire, in which case not only can the transmittance of the first display area 11 and the signal-to-noise ratio of the image output by the sensor 02 be further improved, but also the diffraction caused by the opaque wire can be avoided, thereby further improving the image quality of the image output by the sensor. For example, the at least one connecting wire 60 is made of a completely transparent conductive material. For example, the transparent conductive material can be selected from transparent metal oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO).
[0066] In some examples, in order to reduce the resistance of the connection wiring 60 and increase the signal transmission speed of the connection wiring 60, the connection wiring may include a first portion in the first display area and a second portion in the second display area that are electrically connected to each other. The first portion includes a first light-transmitting wiring layer made of a transparent conductive material, and the second portion includes a metal wiring layer made of a metal material, which is omitted here.
[0067] For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 5A, at least one connecting wiring 60 includes multiple connecting wirings 60, at least one first light-emitting element 411 includes multiple first light-emitting elements 411, and at least one of the multiple connecting wirings 60 has a length that is greater than twice the distance between two adjacent first pixel units 41.
[0068] For example, since the resistances of the multiple connection wires 60 are equal to each other, the uniformity of the driving current can be improved (for example, when the data signals are equal to each other). For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 5A, since the lengths of the multiple connection wires 60 are equal to each other, when the multiple connection wires 60 are made of the same material, the resistances of the multiple connection wires 60 are equal to each other.
[0069] 4 and 5A, at least one first signal line 20 includes a first body portion 21 and a first winding portion 22, the first body portion 21 extends along a first direction D1, and the first winding portion 22 is wired offset from an imaginary extension line 213 of the first body portion 21 along the first direction D1. For example, at least a portion of the first winding portion 22 extends along a direction intersecting the first direction D1. For example, at least a portion of the first winding portion 22 extends along a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1.
[0070] 4, at least one second signal line 30 includes a second body portion 32, which extends along the second direction D2, and a virtual extension line of the first body portion 21 along the first direction D1 and a virtual extension line of the second body portion 32 along the second direction D2 intersect within the first display area 11. In some examples, the second signal line 30 also includes a winding portion (e.g., a winding portion surrounding the first display area 11), so that the second signal line can still simultaneously drive pixel circuits located on both sides of the first display area 11 in the second direction D2 and in the same row without passing through the first display area, which is omitted here.
[0071] In addition, to indicate that the first and second signal lines drive corresponding pixel circuits, the first and second signal lines cross at the position of the pixel circuit that they drive, but the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the first and second signal lines may be closely adjacent to the pixel circuit driven by the first and second signal lines, but may not cross at the position of the pixel circuit, and the corresponding wiring may be used to electrically connect the pixel circuit with the corresponding first and second signal lines.
[0072] For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , at least one first signal line 20 is electrically connected to at least one first pixel circuit 412 to transmit a first drive signal to the at least one first pixel circuit 412, and the second body portion 32 of at least one second signal line 30 is electrically connected to at least one first pixel circuit 412 to transmit a second drive signal, different from the first drive signal, to the at least one first pixel circuit 412.
[0073] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, at least one first signal line 20 is electrically connected to the data driving circuit 50 to receive a first driving signal from the data driving circuit 50, i.e., the first signal line 20 is a data cable, and the first driving signal is a data signal.
[0074] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are respectively the column direction and the row direction of the display substrate 01, the first signal line 20 and the second signal line 30 are respectively the data cable and the gate line of the display substrate 01, and the first driving signal and the second driving signal are respectively the data signal and the gate scanning signal.
[0075] 4 and 5A, at least one first signal line 20 is arranged to drive the first light-emitting element 411 and the third light-emitting element 431 arranged in parallel along the first direction D1, i.e., the first light-emitting element 411 and the third light-emitting element 431 driven by the same first signal line 20 are provided in the same column of the display substrate 01. For example, at least one first signal line 20 is arranged to drive the first light-emitting element 411, the second light-emitting element 421, and the third light-emitting element 431 arranged in parallel along the first direction D1, i.e., the first light-emitting element 411, the second light-emitting element 421, and the third light-emitting element 431 driven by the same first signal line 20 are located in the same column of the display area of the display substrate 01.
[0076] In addition, the display substrate further includes a third signal line (e.g., a data cable) and a fourth signal line (e.g., a gate line), where the third signal line extends along a first direction D1 and the fourth signal line extends along a second direction D2, and the third signal line and the fourth signal line are both straight line segments and do not overlap with the first display area 11 (i.e., do not pass through the first display area 11).
[0077] 4 and 5A, the first body portion 21 includes a first sub-portion 211 and a second sub-portion 212 that are separated by the first display area 11 (i.e., the first sub-portion 211 and the second sub-portion 212 are located on both sides of the first display area 11 in the first direction D1), and the first sub-portion 211 and the second sub-portion 212 are electrically connected via a first winding portion 22, and the first winding portion 22 is wired offset from a virtual connection line that is located between the first sub-portion 211 and the second sub-portion 212 and extends along the first direction D1 (i.e., a virtual extension line 213 along the first direction D1 of the first body portion 21). For example, both the first sub-portion 211 and the second sub-portion 212 are straight line segments.
[0078] For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 5A, by wiring the first winding portion 22 away from the virtual extension line along the first direction D1 of the first main body portion 21, it is possible to prevent the first signal line 20 from overlapping with the first light-emitting element 411 driven by the first signal line 20 and its surrounding area, and in this way, the transmittance of the display area 10 near the first light-emitting element 411 driven by the first signal line 20 can be increased.
[0079] 4 and 5A, the second display region 12 has an inner edge 121 and an outer edge 122. For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 5A, the inner edge 121 of the second display region 12 is configured from the boundary of the pixel circuits (e.g., the first pixel circuit 412 and the second pixel circuit 422) located on the innermost side of the second display region 12 that are close to the first display region 11, i.e., the inner edge 121 of the second display region 12 is configured from the boundary of the pixel circuits located in the second display region 12 and closest to the first display region 11 that are close to the first display region 11.
[0080] For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 5A, the inner edge 121 of the second display area 12 surrounds the first winding portion 22, in which case, it is possible to prevent the first winding portion 22 from being short-circuited with the pixel circuits (e.g., the first pixel circuit 412 and the second pixel circuit 422) located in the second display area 12.
[0081] In a first example, the inner edge 121 of the second display area 12 surrounds the first winding portion 22, and the first winding portion 22 surrounds the first display area 11. In this case, not only can the first winding portion 22 avoid blocking of the optical signal entering the first display area 11 and transmitted toward the sensor 02, but also the first winding portion 22 can avoid blocking of the light emitted from the first light-emitting element 411 located in the first display area 11, thereby not only improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the image output by the sensor 02 and avoiding diffraction by the first winding portion 22, but also improving the display quality of the first display area 11.
[0082] In a second example, the inner edge 121 of the second display area 12 surrounds the first winding portion 22, and the first winding portion 22 surrounds the effective boundary of the first display area 11, in this case, it is possible to avoid the first winding portion 22 from blocking the optical signal incident on the effective boundary of the first display area 11 and transmitted toward the sensor 02, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the image output by the sensor 02 and the display quality of the first display area 11. For example, the effective boundary of the first display area 11 is composed of the outer boundary of the first light-emitting element 411 located at the outermost side of the first display area 11, in this case, it is possible to avoid the first winding portion 22 from blocking the light emitted from the first light-emitting element 411 in the first display area 11, and thus the display quality of the first display area 11 can be improved. Also, for example, the effective boundary of the first display area 11 is located in the first display area 11 and is composed of the outer boundary of the first light-emitting element 411 located on the second outer side (i.e., the outermost light-emitting element among the remaining first light-emitting elements 411 after removing the first light-emitting element 411 located on the outermost side of the first display area 11), in which case the first winding section 22 can at least partially overlap with the first light-emitting element 411 located on the outermost side of the first display area 11, thereby increasing the wiring space of the first winding section 22 while slightly reducing the effective area of the first display area 11.
[0083] 5A, the first display area 11 has a rectangular shape, the first winding portion 22 includes a first line segment 221, a second line segment 222, and a third line segment 223 that are connected in sequence, an end of the first line segment 221 that is not connected to the second line segment 222 is connected to an end of the first sub-portion 211 that is closer to the second sub-portion 212, an end of the third line segment 223 that is not connected to the second line segment 222 is connected to an end of the second sub-portion 212 that is closer to the first sub-portion 211, the second line segment 222 extends along a first direction D1, and the first line segment 221 and the third line segment 223 extend along a second direction D2 that intersects with the first direction D1. For example, the first line segment 221, the second line segment 222, and the third line segment 223 are all straight line segments.
[0084] For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 5A, in the second direction D2, the second line segment 222 can be located between a pixel circuit located at the innermost side of the second display area 12 (i.e., the side closer to the first display area 11) and a pixel circuit located at the outermost side of the first display area 11.
[0085] For example, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5A, the display substrate 01 may further include a second winding portion 23. For example, at least a portion of the second winding portion 23 is wired along a direction intersecting (for example, perpendicular to) the first direction D1. For example, a first end of the second winding portion 23 is electrically connected to the second sub-portion 212, and a second end of the second winding portion 23 is electrically connected to a corresponding first pixel circuit 412. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5A, the second end of the second winding portion 23 may be electrically connected to a first pixel circuit 412 in the same column (for example, a first pixel circuit 412 in the same column that is directly adjacent to the second wire portion 232 of the second winding portion 23).
[0086] For example, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5A, the second winding portion 23 includes a first wire portion 231 and a second wire portion 232 that are connected in sequence, and one end of the first wire portion 231 that is not connected to the second wire portion 232 becomes a first end of the second winding portion 23, and one end of the second wire portion 232 that is not connected to the first wire portion 231 becomes a second end of the second winding portion 23, and the first wire portion 231 extends along the second direction D2, and the second wire portion 232 extends along the first direction D1, and is arranged in parallel with the second sub-portion 212 in the second direction D2. For example, the second wire portion 232 is a straight line segment. For example, the first wire portion 231 may be a straight line segment. Also, for example, the first wire portion 231 can have a curved structure and extends along the second direction D2 as a whole.
[0087] For example, by including the second winding portion 23 in the first signal line 20, the same first signal line 20 can be used to connect pixel circuits in different columns for driving the first light-emitting element 411 and the third light-emitting element 431 in the same column, in which case the data signal transmitted by the data driving circuit 50 can be directly associated with the position of the light-emitting element, and thus there is no need to change the algorithm for transmitting the data signal or change the settings of the data driving circuit 50, and there is no need to install a separate data driving circuit on the data cable with the winding portion, thereby reducing the amount of calculation of the data driving circuit 50 or the associated controller and processor. For example, by including the second winding portion 23 in the first signal line 20, there is no need to adjust the first signal line providing a data signal to a first pixel circuit configured to drive a first light-emitting element from a first signal line in the same column of the first light-emitting element (the portion of the first signal line in the third display area is in the same column as that of the first light-emitting element) to a first signal line in the same column of the first pixel circuit (the portion of the first signal line in the third display area is in the same column as that of the first pixel circuit).
[0088] For example, during operation, the current of the second line portion 232 flows in the opposite direction to the current of the main body portion 21. For example, the current of the first main body portion 21 flows from the lower side of the display substrate 01 (the side where the data driving circuit 50 is provided) to the upper side of the display substrate 01, and the current of the second line portion 232 flows from the upper side of the display substrate 01 to the lower side of the display substrate 01.
[0089] Fig. 5B is a second schematic diagram showing a part of the first display region 11, the second display region 12, and the peripheral region 14 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 4, and Fig. 5C is a third schematic diagram showing a part of the first display region 11, the second display region 12, and the peripheral region 14 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 5B is the upper half of Fig. 5C.
[0090] Figure 5C is similar to Figure 5A, and the difference between Figure 5C and Figure 5A is that Figure 5C shows more first light-emitting elements 411, connecting wiring 60, first pixel circuits 412, first signal lines 20, second light-emitting elements 421 and second pixel circuits 422, and Figure 5C also shows a fifth signal line 71 (e.g., a data cable) electrically connected to the second pixel circuit 422.
[0091] 5B and 5C, the fifth signal line 71 also has a winding portion. For example, the fifth signal line 71 also has a winding portion that surrounds the effective boundary of the first display area 11, and the inner edge of the second display area 12 surrounds the winding portion of the fifth signal line 71.
[0092] For example, as shown in Figures 5A to 5C, the display substrate 01 includes a plurality of first signal lines 20, and a plurality of first line portions 231 included in the plurality of first signal lines 20 are arranged in parallel in the first direction D1 (i.e., at least partially overlap in the first direction D1).
[0093] For example, as shown in Figures 5A to 5C, in the second direction D2, the lengths of the multiple first line portions 231 included in the multiple first signal lines 20 are equal to each other, and as a result, the uniformity of the driving currents of the first line portions 231 can be further improved (e.g., when the data signals are equal to each other).
[0094] For example, the first main body portion 21, the first winding portion 22 and the second wire portion 232 are located on a first electrode layer of the display substrate 01, the first wire portion 231 is located on a second electrode layer of the display substrate 01, the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer overlap in the normal direction of the display surface of the display substrate 01, and the first wire portion 231 is electrically connected to the second sub-portion 212 and the second wire portion 232 via a first via hole and a second via hole, respectively, in the insulating layer between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer.
[0095] For example, it is possible to avoid short-circuiting the first wire portion 231 of the second winding portion 23 of each first signal line 20 with other portions of each first signal line 20 (e.g., the second wire portion 232 and the second sub-portion 212), and the first wire portion 231 of the second winding portion 23 of each first signal line 20 with other first signal lines 20.
[0096] For example, the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer are both made of a metal material, which can be selected from silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), an aluminum alloy, or other suitable materials.
[0097] Below, with reference to Figures 5D to 5G, an illustrative description will be given of the specific structures of the first light-emitting element 411, the first pixel circuit 412, the second pixel unit 42 and the third pixel unit 43, as well as the relationship between each part of the first signal line 20 and each component of the thin film transistor of the pixel circuit.
[0098] 5D shows a schematic diagram of a stacked structure of a first light-emitting element 411 and a first pixel circuit 412 for driving the first light-emitting element 411 provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the first pixel circuit 412 includes structures such as a thin film transistor 412T and a storage capacitor 412C. The first light-emitting element 411 includes a first anode structure 4111, a first cathode structure 4113, and a first light-emitting layer 4112 between the first anode structure 4111 and the first cathode structure 4113, and the first anode structure 4111 is electrically connected to the thin film transistor 412T included in the first pixel circuit 412 through a via hole. For example, the first anode structure 4111 can include multiple anode sub-layers, such as a three-layer structure of ITO / Ag / ITO (not shown), and the specific form of the first anode structure 4111 is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the first cathode structure 4113 may be a structure formed on the entire surface of the display substrate 01, and the first cathode structure 4113 may include a metal material such as lithium (Li), aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), etc. For example, the first cathode structure 4113 may be formed as a very thin layer, so that the first cathode structure 4113 has good light transmittance.
[0099] For example, the thin film transistor 412T includes structures such as an active layer 4121, a gate 4122, a source electrode and a drain electrode (i.e., a source 4123 and a drain 4124), and the storage capacitor 412C includes a first electrode plate 4125 and a second electrode plate 4126. For example, the active layer 4121 is provided on the base substrate 74, a first gate insulating layer 741 is provided on one side of the active layer 4121 away from the base substrate 74, the gate 4122 and the first electrode plate 4125 are provided on the same layer and are located on one side of the first gate insulating layer 741 away from the base substrate 74, a second gate insulating layer 742 is provided on one side of the gate 4122 and the first electrode plate 4125 away from the base substrate 74, and the second electrode plate 4126 is provided on one side of the second gate insulating layer 742 away from the base substrate 74.

A planarizing layer 744 for planarizing the first pixel circuit 412 is provided on one side of the source electrode and the drain electrode away from the base substrate 74.
[0100] For example, the planarization layer 744 has a via hole, and the first anode structure 4111 is electrically connected to the source 4123 or the drain 4124 of the thin film transistor 412T through the via hole in the planarization layer 744 .
[0101] For example, the first display region 11 further includes a transparent support layer 78 located on the base substrate 74, and the first light emitting element 11 is provided on one side of the transparent support layer 78 away from the base substrate 74. Therefore, the first light emitting element 411 in the first display region 11 is at approximately the same height as the second light emitting element 421 in the second display region 12 and the third light emitting element 431 in the third display region 13 relative to the base substrate 74, which can improve the display effect of the display substrate.

For example, the third anode structure 4311 can include multiple anode sub-layers, such as an ITO / Ag / ITO three-layer structure (not shown), and the specific form of the third anode structure 4311 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0107] For example, the third pixel circuit 432 includes structures such as a thin film transistor 432T and a storage capacitor 432C. For example, the thin film transistor 432T includes structures such as an active layer 4321, a gate 4322, a source electrode and a drain electrode (i.e., a source 4323 and a drain 4324), and the storage capacitor 432C includes a first electrode plate 4325 and a second electrode plate 4326. For example, the active layer 4321 is provided on a base substrate 74, a first gate insulating layer 741 is provided on one side of the active layer 4321 away from the base substrate 74, the gate 4322 and the first electrode plate 4325 are in the same layer and are provided on one side of the first gate insulating layer 741 away from the base substrate 74, a second gate insulating layer 742 is provided on one side of the gate 4322 and the first electrode plate 4325 away from the base substrate 74, and the second electrode plate 4326 is provided on one side of the second gate insulating layer 742 away from the base substrate 74.

[0109] For clarity, FIG. 5F shows only one third light-emitting element 431 and one third pixel circuit 432 included in the third pixel unit 43, and only one thin film transistor 432T and one storage capacitor 432C included in the third pixel circuit 432, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0110] For example, the first pixel circuit 412, the second pixel circuit 422, and the third pixel circuit 432 are provided in the same layer, and therefore can be formed by the same patterning process in the manufacturing process. For example, the first gate insulating layer 741, the second gate insulating layer 742, the interlayer insulating layer 743, and the planarization layer 744 are provided in the same layer in the first display area 11, the second display area 12, and the third display area 13, and in some embodiments, are integrally connected (i.e., are integrally formed and connected to each other), and therefore are indicated by the same reference numerals in the drawings.
[0111] For example, in some embodiments, the display substrate further includes structures such as a pixel defining layer 746, an encapsulating layer 747, etc., for example, the pixel defining layer 746 is provided on the first anode structure and includes a plurality of openings to define different pixels or sub-pixels, and the first light-emitting layer is formed in the openings of the pixel defining layer 746. For example, the encapsulating layer 747 can include a single-layer or multi-layer encapsulating structure, for example, the multi-layer encapsulating structure includes a stacked structure of an inorganic encapsulating layer and an organic encapsulating layer, thereby improving the sealing effect of the display substrate.

The embodiments of the present disclosure do not particularly limit the materials of each of the above functional layers.
[0115] For example, the material of the active layer 4121 / 4221 / 4321 can include a semiconductor material such as polysilicon or an oxide semiconductor (e.g., indium gallium zinc oxide). For example, portions of the active layer 4121 / 4221 / 4321 can be made conductive by a conductive process such as doping to provide higher electrical conductivity.
[0116] For example, in each of the above examples, the materials of the gate 4122 / 4222 / 4322, the first plate 4125 / 4225 / 4325 and the second plate 4126 / 4226 / 4326 may include metal or alloy materials such as molybdenum, aluminum, and titanium.

[0118] For example, the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a display substrate such as an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display substrate or a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED) display substrate, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to a specific type of display substrate.
[0119] For example, when the display substrate is an organic light-emitting diode display substrate, the light-emitting layer 4111 / 4211 / 4311 may include small molecule organic materials or polymer molecule organic materials, may be fluorescent light materials or phosphorescent light materials, and may emit red light, green light, blue light, or may emit white light, etc. In addition, according to actual needs, in different examples, the light-emitting layer 4111 / 4211 / 4311 may further include functional layers such as an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, a hole injection layer, and a hole transport layer.

In some examples, the first line portion 231 and the second electrode plate 4226 of the second winding portion 23 are located on the second electrode layer 252 of the display substrate 01, which are omitted here. For example, the second body portion 32 of the second signal line 30 is also located on the second electrode layer 252 of the display substrate 01.
[0122] FIG. 5H shows a schematic diagram of another stacked structure of the second pixel unit 42 provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5H, the second pixel unit 42 includes a second light-emitting element 421 and a second pixel circuit 422 that drives the second light-emitting element 421. For example, the second pixel circuit 422 includes structures such as a thin film transistor 422T and a storage capacitor 422C. The second light-emitting element 421 includes a second anode structure 4211, a second cathode structure 4213, and a second light-emitting layer 4212 between the second anode structure 4211 and the second cathode structure 4213, where the second anode structure 4211 is electrically connected to the transfer electrode 749 through a via hole 744A, and the transfer electrode 749 is electrically connected to the thin film transistor 422T included in the second pixel circuit 422 through a via hole 744B. For example, the second anode structure 4211 can include multiple anode sub-layers, such as an ITO / Ag / ITO three-layer structure (not shown), and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific form of the second anode structure 4211. For example, the transfer electrode 749 can be made of a transparent conductive material. For example, the transparent conductive material can be selected from transparent metal oxides, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), and the like.
[0123] For example, the thin film transistor 422T includes structures such as an active layer 4221, a gate 4222, a source electrode and a drain electrode (ie, a source 4223 and a drain 4224), and the storage capacitor 422C includes a first plate 4225 and a second plate 4226. For example, an active layer 4221 is provided on a base substrate 74, a first gate insulating layer 741 is provided on one side of the active layer 4221 remote from the base substrate 74, a gate 4222 and a first electrode plate 4225 are in the same layer and are provided on one side of the first gate insulating layer 741 remote from the base substrate 74, a second gate insulating layer 742 is provided on one side of the gate 4222 and the first electrode plate 4225 remote from the base substrate 74, a second electrode plate 4226 is provided on one side of the second gate insulating layer 742 remote from the base substrate 74, an interlayer insulating layer 743 is provided on one side of the second electrode plate 4226 remote from the base substrate 74, and a source electrode and a drain electrode are provided on the base substrate of the interlayer insulating layer 743.

[0124] For example, the first planarization layer 7441 has a via hole 744B, and the transfer electrode 749 is electrically connected to the source 4223 or the drain 4224 of the thin film transistor 422T through the via hole 744B in the first planarization layer 7441. For example, the planarization layer 744 has a via hole 744A, and the second anode structure 4211 is electrically connected to the transfer electrode 749 through the via hole 744A in the second planarization layer 7442, so that the second anode structure 4211 can be electrically connected to the source 4223 or the drain 4224 of the thin film transistor 422T.
[0125] For example, as shown in FIG. 5H, the display substrate further includes structures such as a pixel definition layer 746, an encapsulation layer 747, etc., for example, the pixel definition layer 746 is provided on the first anode structure and includes a plurality of openings for defining different pixels or sub-pixels, and the first light-emitting layer is formed in the openings of the pixel definition layer 746. For example, the encapsulation layer 747 includes a first encapsulation layer 7471, a second encapsulation layer 7472, and a third encapsulation layer 7473 sequentially arranged on the second cathode structure 4213 in a direction perpendicular to the display substrate. For example, the first encapsulation layer 7471, the second encapsulation layer 7472, and the third encapsulation layer 7473 are an inorganic encapsulation layer, an organic encapsulation layer, and an inorganic encapsulation layer, respectively.
[0126] For clarity, FIG. 5H shows only one second light-emitting element 421 and one second pixel circuit 422 included in the second pixel unit 42, and only one thin film transistor 422T and one storage capacitor 422C included in the second pixel circuit 422, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0127] In addition, when the second pixel unit 42 provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure uses the structure shown in Figure 5H, the third pixel unit 43 provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, and the first light-emitting element 411 and the first pixel circuit 412 driving the first light-emitting element 411 provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure can also use the structure shown in Figure 5H, which will be omitted here.
[0128] FIG. 5I is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line HH' shown in FIG. 5A. For example, as shown in FIG. 5I, the second sub-portion 212 of the first body portion 21 and the second wire portion 232 of the second winding portion 23 are located on one side of the interlayer insulating layer 743 away from the base substrate 74, that is, the second sub-portion 212 of the first body portion 21 and the second wire portion 232 of the second winding portion 23 are provided on the same electrode layer (e.g., the first electrode layer 251) as the source electrode and drain electrode (e.g., the source 4223 and the drain 4224) of the thin film transistor. For example, the first sub-portion 211 of the first body portion 21 and the first winding portion 22 are also located on the same electrode layer (e.g., the first electrode layer 251) as above.
[0129] For example, as shown in FIG. 5I, the first line portion 231 of the second winding portion 23 is located between the first gate insulating layer 741 and the second gate insulating layer 742, i.e., the first line portion 231, the gate 4222 and the first electrode plate 4225 of the second winding portion 23 are located in the same electrode layer (e.g., the second electrode layer 252 on the display substrate 01). For example, as shown in FIG. 5I, the first line portion 231 is electrically connected to the second sub-portion 212 and the second line portion 232 through the first via hole 254 and the second via hole 255 of the insulating layer between the first electrode layer 251 and the second electrode layer 252, respectively, i.e., the first signal line 20 adopts a jumper wiring design, for example, a multiple-time jumper wiring design can be used. For example, the second body portion 32 of the second signal line 30 is also located in the second electrode layer 252 of the display substrate 01. In some examples, the first wire portion 231 and the second electrode plate 4226 of the second winding portion 23 are located on the same electrode layer (e.g., the second electrode layer 252 of the display substrate 01), and the gate 4222 is not located on the same electrode layer (e.g., the second electrode layer 252 of the display substrate 01).
[0130] 4, 5A to 5C, and 5G, the first line portion 231 is located as a whole in the peripheral region 14, and is arranged in parallel with the second display region 12 in the first direction D1. For example, since no pixel circuits (the first pixel circuit 412 to the third pixel circuit 432) are provided in the peripheral region 14, the difficulty of wiring the first line portion 231 can be reduced.
[0131] 4 and 5A to 5C, the first line portion 231 is located as a whole on one side of the second display area 12 away from the third display area 13 in the first direction D1. For example, the first line portion 231 is located as a whole on the upper edge of the display substrate 01, as shown in FIG. 4 and 5A to 5C.
[0132] Note that, although the first line portion 231 shown in Figures 4, 5A to 5C, and 5G is located entirely in the peripheral region 14, the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. According to actual application requirements, the first line portion 231 may also be located entirely in the second display region 12, or the first line portion 231 may be located in both the peripheral region 14 and the second display region 12 at the same time. Hereinafter, an exemplary description will be given with reference to Figures 6, 7A to 7B, 8, and 9A to 9B.
[0133] Fig. 6 is a second example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A. Fig. 7A is a first schematic diagram showing a part of the first display region 11, the second display region 12, and the peripheral region 14 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 6, and Fig. 7B is a second schematic diagram showing a part of the first display region 11, the second display region 12, and the peripheral region 14 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 6.
[0134] 6 and 7A to 7B, the first line portion 231 is located as a whole within the second display region 12, and is arranged in parallel with the first display region 11 in the first direction D1. For example, as shown in Fig. 6 and 7A to 7B, the first line portion 231 is located on one side of the first display region 11 away from the third display region 13 in the first direction D1.
[0135] In one example, all of the first line portions 231 included in the first signal lines 20 are straight (i.e., straight line segments). In another example, at least some of the first line portions 231 included in the first signal lines 20 may have a curved structure to prevent a part of the first line portion 231 from overlapping the second light-emitting element 421 and blocking the light emitted from the second light-emitting element 421.
[0136] For example, by disposing the entire first line portion 231 in the second display area 12, the size of the peripheral area 14 of the display substrate 01 can be reduced, thereby facilitating a narrow frame or full screen design of the display substrate 01.
[0137] In addition, other structures and specific mounting methods of the display substrate 01 described in Figure 6 are the same as or similar to other structures and specific mounting methods of the display substrate 01 described in Figure 4, and the same or similar points will be omitted.
[0138] In addition, the first light-emitting element 411 and the second light-emitting element 421 are farther away from the base substrate of the display substrate 01 than the connection wiring 60, and the schematic plan view shown in FIG. 7A and other related schematic plan views are used to show the arrangement and connection of each element of the display substrate 01 in a plane parallel to the base substrate of the display substrate 01, and do not limit the arrangement or relative positional relationship of each element of the display substrate 01 in a direction perpendicular to the base substrate of the display substrate 01. The arrangement or relative positional relationship of each element of the display substrate 01 in a direction perpendicular to the base substrate of the display substrate 01 can be referred to the schematic diagrams of the stacked structures shown in FIGS. 5D to 5H and the schematic cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 5I, and are omitted here.
[0139] Fig. 8 is a third example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A. Fig. 9A is a first schematic diagram showing a part of the first display region 11, the second display region 12, and the peripheral region 14 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 8, and Fig. 9B is a second schematic diagram showing a part of the first display region 11, the second display region 12, and the peripheral region 14 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 8.
[0140] For example, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIGS. 9A to 9B , the first line portion 231 includes a first portion 2311, a second portion 2312, and a third portion 2313 which are connected in sequence, the first portion 2311 of the first line portion 231 is electrically connected to the second sub-portion 212, the third portion 2313 of the first line portion 231 is electrically connected to the second line portion 232, the first portion 2311 of the first line portion 231 is provided in the peripheral region 14, and the first direction The first line portion 231 is arranged in parallel to the second display area 12 in the first direction D1, the second part 2312 of the first line portion 231 extends from the peripheral area 14 to the second display area 12 along the first direction D1, the third part 2313 of the first line portion 231 is located in the second display area 12, and a virtual extension line of the third part 2313 of the first line portion 231 extending along the second direction D2 is arranged in parallel to the first display area 11 in the first direction D1.
[0141] In some examples, the third portion 2313 of the first line portion 231 is electrically connected to the second sub-portion 212, and the first portion 2311 of the first line portion 231 is electrically connected to the second line portion 232, i.e., the electrically connected portion between the first line portion 231 and the second sub-portion 212 is located in the second display area 12, and the electrically connected portion between the first line portion 231 and the second line portion 232 is located in the peripheral area 14, which will be omitted here.
[0142] Other structures and specific mounting methods of the display substrate 01 shown in FIG. 8 are the same as or similar to other structures and specific mounting methods of the display substrate 01 shown in FIG. 4, and similarities or overlapping points will be omitted.
[0143] 4, 6, and 8, the second winding portion 23 of the display substrate 01 is wound in the first direction D1 from the second sub-portion 212 of the first body portion 21 to a position parallel to the second sub-portion 212 of the first body portion 21 (parallel to the second direction D2) via one side away from the third display region 13 of the first display region 11, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In some examples, the second winding portion 23 may be wound in the first direction D1 from the first sub-portion 211 of the first body portion 21 to a position parallel to the second sub-portion 212 of the first body portion 21 (parallel to the second direction D2), via one side close to the third display region 13 of the first display region 11, and an exemplary description will be given below with reference to FIG. 10.
[0144] Fig. 10 is a fourth example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A. The display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 10 is similar to the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 6, and here, the different parts between the two will be described, but the same points will be omitted. The difference between the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 10 and the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 6 is that the first line portion 231 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 10 is located on one side closer to the third display area 13 of the first display area 11 in the first direction D1, and during operation, the current of the second line portion 232 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 10 flows in the same direction as the current of the main body portion.
[0145] In some examples, in the first direction D1, at least a portion (e.g., all of) of the first line portion 231 is arranged parallel to the first display area 11 and is located at one end of the third display area 13 closer to the first display area 11, which is omitted here.
[0146] Note that, although the first signal line 20 of the display substrate 01 shown in Figures 4, 6, 8, and 10 is wound in the first direction D1 from one side of the first display region 11 to a position parallel to the first body portion 21 (parallel to the second direction D2), the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some examples, the first signal line 20 of the display substrate 01 may be wound in the first direction D1 from both sides of the first display region 11 to a position parallel to the first body portion 21 (parallel to the second direction D2). An illustrative description will be given below with reference to Figures 11 and 12A to 12C.
[0147] Fig. 11 is a fifth example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A. Fig. 12A is a first schematic diagram showing a part of the first display region 11, the second display region 12, and the peripheral region 14 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 11, Fig. 12B is a second schematic diagram for showing a part of the first display region 11, the second display region 12, and the peripheral region 14 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 11, and Fig. 12C is a schematic plan view of a partial region REG_E corresponding to Fig. 12B.
[0148] The display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 11 is similar to the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 4, and only the different parts between the two will be described here, while omitting the similarities. The difference between the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 11 and the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 4 is that the display substrate 01 further includes a third winding portion 24. For example, at least a part of the third winding portion 24 is wired in a direction intersecting (for example, perpendicular to) the first direction D1.
[0149] For example, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12A to FIG. 12B, a first end of the third winding portion 24 is electrically connected to the first sub-portion 211, and a second end of the third winding portion 24 is electrically connected to a corresponding first pixel circuit 412, and the first pixel circuit 412 connected to the second winding portion 23 is different from the first pixel circuit 412 connected to the third winding portion 24.
[0150] 11 and 12A to 12B, the first pixel circuit 412 connected to the second winding portion 23 and the first pixel circuit 412 connected to the third winding portion 24 are located in the same column, that is, the first pixel circuit 412 connected to the second winding portion 23 and the first pixel circuit 412 connected to the third winding portion 24 are arranged in the first direction D1. For example, the first pixel circuit 412 connected to the second winding portion 23 is the first pixel circuit 412 in the upper half of the first pixel circuit 412 in the same column, and the first pixel circuit 412 connected to the second winding portion 23 is the first pixel circuit 412 in the lower half of the first pixel circuit 412 in the same column.
[0151] For example, by further including a third winding portion 24 in the first signal line 20, the data cable can be used to bidirectionally drive pixel circuits (first pixel circuit 412 and second pixel circuit 422) in a region of the second display area 12 parallel to the first display area 11 in the second direction D2, i.e., data signals are input to the pixel circuits in the region from above and below the region of the second display area 12 parallel to the first display area 11 in the second direction D2, and in this case, the opening of the second display area 12 (e.g., the inner edge 121 of the second display area 12) has a larger size.
[0152] For example, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12A to FIG. 12B, the third winding portion 24 includes a third wire portion 241 and a fourth wire portion 242 that are connected in sequence, an end of the third wire portion 241 that is not connected to the fourth wire portion 242 becomes a first end of the third winding portion 24, an end of the fourth wire portion 242 that is not connected to the third wire portion 241 becomes a second end of the third winding portion 24, the third wire portion 241 extends along the second direction D2 and is arranged in parallel with the first wire portion 231 in the first direction D1, the fourth wire portion 242 extends along the first direction D1 and is arranged in parallel with the first sub-portion 211 in the second direction D2, and during operation, the current of the fourth wire portion 242 flows in the same direction as the current of the main body portion. For example, the fourth wire portion 242 is a straight line segment. For example, the third wire portion 241 is a straight line segment. Also, for example, the third line portion 241 can have a curved structure and extend along the second direction D2 as a whole.
[0153] For example, the fourth line portion 242 is located on the first electrode layer of the display substrate 01, and the third line portion 241 is located on the second electrode layer of the display substrate 01, and the third line portion 241 is electrically connected to the first sub-portion 211 and the fourth line portion 242 respectively through the third via hole and the fourth via hole in the insulating layer between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer.
[0154] For example, it is possible to avoid short-circuiting the first wire portion 231 of the second winding portion 23 and the third wire portion 241 of the third winding portion 24 of each first signal line 20 with other portions of each first signal line 20 (e.g., the fourth wire portion 242 and the first sub-portion 211), and the first wire portion 231 of the second winding portion 23 and the third wire portion 241 of the third winding portion 24 of each first signal line 20 with other first signal lines 20.
[0155] For example, as shown in FIG. 12C, the first display region 11 includes only a plurality of transparent wirings and an anode structure 4111 arranged in parallel, thereby increasing the transmittance of the first display region 11. For example, as shown in FIG. 12C, the plurality of transparent wirings arranged in parallel include a connection wiring 60 and a dummy wiring 601. For example, the dummy wiring 601 has a break, which makes the dummy wiring 601 a discontinuous wiring. For example, by providing the dummy wiring 601 having a break, the etching uniformity of the first display region 11 can be improved. Note that the lines indicated by the arrows in FIG. 12C are shading and not actual wiring.
[0156] 11 and 12A to 12B, the first line portion 231 of the display substrate is not limited to being located in the peripheral region 14, and the third line portion 241 is not limited to being arranged in parallel with the first display region 11 in the first direction D1 and located at one end of the third display region 13 close to the first display region 11. In one example, both the first line portion 231 and the third line portion 241 may be located in the second display region 12, and the first line portion 231 may be located on one side of the first display region 11 away from the third display region 13 in the first direction D1, and the third line portion 241 may be located between the first display region 11 and the third display region 13 in the first direction D1. In another example, the first line portion 231 may be located in the peripheral region 14 and the second display region 12 at the same time, and the third line portion 241 may be located in the third display region 13 and the second display region 12 at the same time.
[0157] It should be noted that the shapes of the first display area 11 of the display substrate 01 shown in Figs. 4, 6, 8, 10 and 11 are all rectangular, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, according to the actual application requirements, the shape of the first display area 11 may be circular or other applicable shapes, and the shape of the first winding section 22 is adaptively changed accordingly. For example, the shape of the first winding section 22 matches the shape of the first display area 11, reducing the influence of the first winding section 22 on the elements in the first display area 11 and the second display area 12. Hereinafter, an exemplary description will be given with reference to Figs. 13A to 13D.
[0158] Fig. 13A is a schematic plan view of the sixth example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A, Fig. 13B is another schematic plan view of the sixth example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A, Fig. 13C is yet another schematic plan view of the sixth example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A, and Fig. 13D is a schematic plan view corresponding to the partial region REG_B shown in Fig. 13C.
[0159] For clarity, Figure 13A shows only a portion of the second display area 12 and a portion of the peripheral area 14 of the display substrate 01, and Figures 13B and 13C show only a portion of the first display area 11, a portion of the second display area 12 and a portion of the peripheral area 14 of the display substrate 01.
[0160] The display substrate 01 shown in Figures 13A to 13C is similar to the display substrate 01 shown in Figures 4 and 5A to 5C, and only the differences between the two are described here, and the same points are omitted. The difference between the display substrate 01 shown in Figures 13A to 13C and the display substrate 01 shown in Figures 4 and 5A to 5C is that the shape of the first display region 11 and the shape of the first winding portion 22 of the display substrate 01 shown in Figures 13A to 13C are different.
[0161] 13A to 13C, the shape of the first display region 11 is circular, the first winding portion 22 is an arcuate wire, a first end of the arcuate wire is connected to an end of the first sub-portion 211 that is closer to the second sub-portion 212, and a second end of the arcuate wire is connected to an end of the second sub-portion 212 that is closer to the first sub-portion 211. For example, the curvature of the arcuate wire and the curvature of the circle match each other (for example, are equal).
[0162] According to actual application requirements, the shape of the first display area 11 of the display substrate 01 shown in Figures 6, 8, 10 and 11 can be changed to a circle, and the first winding portion 22 can be changed to an arc line, which will be omitted here.
[0163] For example, as shown in FIG. 13C and FIG. 13D, the peripheral region 14 further includes a plurality of wirings 2911 and a plurality of wirings 2921, the plurality of wirings 2911 being located in the electrode layer 291, and the plurality of wirings 2921 being located in the electrode layer 292. For example, the electrode layer 291 and the electrode layer 292 are different electrode layers in a direction perpendicular to the display substrate. For example, the plurality of wirings 2911 and the plurality of wirings 2921 are alternately arranged in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the wirings 2911. For example, by alternately arranging the plurality of wirings 2911 and the plurality of wirings 2921 in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the wirings 2911 and providing the wirings 2911 and the wirings 2921 in different electrode layers, the arrangement density of the wirings (the wirings 2911 and the wirings 2921 as a whole) can be increased.
[0164] For example, the second sub-portion 212 of the first signal line 20 and the plurality of wirings 2911 are located on different electrode layers, and the second sub-portion 212 of the first signal line 20 and the plurality of wirings 2921 are located on different electrode layers. For example, the gate 4222 and the first plate 4225 shown in FIG. 5H are also located on electrode layer 291, the second plate 4226 shown in FIG. 5H are also located on electrode layer 292, and the second sub-portion 212 of the first signal line 20 is located on the same electrode layer as the source 4223 and the drain 4224 shown in FIG. 5H.
[0165] 13C and 13D, the second sub-portion 212 of the first signal line 20 passing through the second pixel circuit 422 is electrically connected to the corresponding wiring 2911 or the corresponding wiring 2921 (for example, electrically connected through a via hole), so that the signal of the second sub-portion 212 of the first signal line 20 is changed to the corresponding wiring 2911 or the corresponding wiring 2921 and transmitted. For example, the wiring 2911 or the wiring 2921 electrically connected to the second sub-portion 212 of the first signal line 20 is called the first line portion 231. For example, the second sub-portion 212 of the first signal line 20 passing through the second pixel circuit 422 is electrically connected to the corresponding wiring 2911 or the corresponding wiring 2921.
[0166] For example, any first signal line (located in the SD layer) from each pixel unit is changed to Gat1 (electrode layer 291) or Gat2 layer (electrode layer 292) by changing layers. For example, when a longitudinal lead and a lateral lead cross, the longitudinal lead (second sub-portion 212 of the first signal line 20) uses the SD layer, and the distance between the SD layer and the Gat layer (electrode layer 291 or 292) is larger than the distance between Gat1 (electrode layer 291) and the Gat2 layer (electrode layer 292), thereby reducing the capacitive coupling.
[0167] In addition, the shapes of the second display area 12 of the display substrate 01 shown in Figures 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 13A to 13C are all rectangular, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, according to actual application requirements, the shape of the second display area 12 may also be circular or other applicable shapes, which are omitted here.
[0168] 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 13A to 13C are wound with two or more winding parts in a position parallel to the first body part 21 (parallel to the second direction D2), but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, according to actual application requirements, the first signal line 20 of the display substrate 01 may be wound with only one winding part in a position parallel to the first body part 21 (parallel to the second direction D2), and an exemplary description will be given below with reference to FIG.
[0169] Fig. 14 is a schematic plan view of a seventh example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A. The display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 14 is similar to the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 14, and only the differences between the two will be described here, and the same points will be omitted. The differences between the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 14 and the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 4 include that the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 14 has only the first winding portion 22 and does not have the second winding portion 23.
[0170] 14, the first winding portion 22 surrounds the first display area 11 and is located in the second display area 12 as a whole. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the first winding portion 22 includes a fifth line portion 271, a sixth line portion 272, and a seventh line portion 273 that are connected in sequence, the fifth line portion 271 is electrically connected to the first sub-portion 211, the seventh line portion 273 is electrically connected to the second sub-portion 212, the sixth line portion 272 extends along a first direction D1, the fifth line portion 271 and the seventh line portion 273 extend along a second direction D2 that intersects with the first direction D1, and the sixth line portion 272 extends along a second direction D2 that intersects with the first direction D1. 272 is located between the first sub-portion 211 and the second sub-portion 212 and is arranged in parallel in the first direction D1 with the virtual connecting line extending along the first direction D1, the sixth line portion 272 at least partially overlaps (or is located in the same column and closely adjacent but not overlapping) the first pixel circuit 412 electrically connected to the sixth line portion 272, and during operation, the current in the sixth line portion 272 flows in the same direction as the current in the first body portion 211. For example, the fifth line portion 271, the sixth line portion 272 and the seventh line portion 273 are all straight line segments.
[0171] For example, the data driving circuit 50 can be implemented as a driving chip. For example, the driving chip can be coupled onto the display substrate 01 through a flexible circuit board, and provides data signals for display to a plurality of data cables through the flexible circuit to drive the display substrate 01 to realize a display function. For example, a gate driving chip may also be provided in the peripheral region 14, or a gate driving circuit (GOA, not shown) in the array substrate may be formed, and a plurality of output ends of the gate driving chip or GOA are respectively connected to a plurality of gate lines so as to transmit gate scanning signals to a plurality of gate lines. It should be noted that the display substrate 01 is not limited to being driven by a single data driving circuit, and in some examples, the display substrate 01 can be driven by two data driving circuits, and the two data driving circuits are located on both sides of the display substrate 01 (for example, on both sides of the display substrate 01 in the first direction D1).
[0172] Fig. 15 is a schematic plan view of an eighth example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A, and Fig. 16 is another schematic plan view of the eighth example of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 2A. Note that for clarity, Fig. 15 shows only a portion of the first display region 11 and the second display region 12 of the display substrate 01.
[0173] The display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 15 is similar to the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 4, and only the differences between the two will be described here, and the same points will be omitted. The differences between the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 15 and the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 4 include that the first direction D1 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 15 is the row direction of the display panel, the connection wiring 60 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 15 extends along the column direction, the first signal line 20 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 15 is a gate line, the second signal line 30 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 15 is a data cable, and the structures of the winding parts of the first signal line 20 and the second signal line 30 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 15 are different from the structures of the winding parts of the first signal line 20 and the second signal line 30 of the display substrate 01 shown in Fig. 4, respectively.
[0174] 15, the first winding portion 22 surrounds the first display area 11 and is located in the second display area 12 as a whole, the first winding portion 22 includes an eighth wire portion 281 and a ninth wire portion 282 connected in sequence, the eighth wire portion 281 is electrically connected to the first body portion 21 and extends along the second direction D2, the ninth wire portion 282 extends along the first direction D1 and is arranged in parallel with an imaginary extension line of the first body portion 21 in the first direction D1, during operation, the current of the ninth wire portion 282 flows in the same direction as the current of the body portion, and the ninth wire portion 282 is electrically connected to a first pixel circuit 412 configured to drive a first quantity of first light-emitting elements 411 arranged in parallel along the first direction D1 in the first display area 11. For example, both the eighth wire portion 281 and the ninth wire portion 282 are straight line segments.
[0175] In some examples, the first body portion 21 includes a first sub-portion 211 and a second sub-portion 212 (not shown), and the first winding portion 22 further includes a tenth wire portion (not shown), a first end of the tenth wire portion is connected to the ninth wire portion 282, a second end of the tenth wire portion is connected to the second sub-portion 212, and the tenth wire portion extends along the second direction D2.
[0176] For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the second signal line 30 includes a second body portion 32, a fourth winding portion 33, and a fifth winding portion 34, the fourth winding portion 33 being wired offset from a virtual extension line along the second direction D2 of the second body portion 32, the second body portion 32 including a third sub-portion 321 and a fourth sub-portion 322 spaced apart by the first display region 11, the third sub-portion 321 and the fourth sub-portion 322 being electrically connected via the fourth winding portion 33, and the fourth winding portion 33 being located between the third sub-portion 321 and the fourth sub-portion 322 and wired offset from a virtual connection line extending along the second direction D2. For example, at least a portion of the fourth winding portion 33 extends along a direction intersecting the second direction D2. For example, at least a portion of the fifth winding portion 34 extends along a direction intersecting the second direction D2. For example, the third sub-portion 321 and the fourth sub-portion 322 are both straight line segments.
[0177] 15, the fourth winding portion 33 includes a fourth line segment 331, a fifth line segment 332, and a sixth line segment 333 that are connected in sequence, an end of the fourth line segment 331 that is not connected to the fifth line segment 332 is connected to an end of the third sub-portion 321 that is close to the fourth sub-portion 322, an end of the sixth line segment 333 that is not connected to the fifth line segment 332 is connected to an end of the fourth sub-portion 322 that is close to the third sub-portion 321, the fourth line segment 331 and the sixth line segment 333 extend along the first direction D1, and the fifth line segment 332 extends along the second direction D2. For example, the fourth line segment 331, the fifth line segment 332, and the sixth line segment 333 are all straight line segments.
[0178] 15, a first end of the fifth winding portion 34 is electrically connected to the second sub-portion 212, and a second end of the fifth winding portion 34 is electrically connected to a corresponding first pixel circuit 412. For example, as shown in FIG 15, the second end of the fifth winding portion 34 can be electrically connected to a first pixel circuit 412 in the same column (e.g., a first pixel circuit 412 in the same column that is directly adjacent to the second wire portion 232 of the second winding portion 23).
[0179] 15, the fifth winding section 34 includes a seventh line segment 341 and an eighth line segment 342 connected in sequence, where one end of the seventh line segment 341 that is not connected to the eighth line segment 342 is a first end of the fifth winding section 34, and one end of the eighth line segment 342 that is not connected to the seventh line segment 341 is a second end of the fifth winding section 34, where the seventh line segment 341 extends along a first direction D1, the eighth line segment 342 extends along a second direction D2, and is arranged in parallel with the second sub-portion 212 in the first direction D1, and during operation, the current of the eighth line segment 342 flows in the opposite direction to the current of the second sub-portion 212. For example, both the seventh line segment 341 and the eighth line segment 342 are straight line segments.
[0180] For example, as shown in Fig. 15, a first light emitting element 411 and a first pixel circuit 412 for driving the first light emitting element 411 are located in adjacent columns of a display panel. For example, as shown in Fig. 15, at least one second signal line 30 is configured to drive the first light emitting element 411 and the second light emitting element 421 arranged in parallel along the second direction D2, that is, the first light emitting element 411 and the third light emitting element 431 driven by the same second signal line 30 are located in the same column of the display substrate 01.
[0181] In addition, in some examples, the first light-emitting element 411 and the first pixel circuit 412 for driving the first light-emitting element 411 may be located in the same column of the display panel, i.e., the first light-emitting element 411 and the first pixel circuit 412 for driving the first light-emitting element 411 are arranged in parallel in the column direction.
[0182] For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the first direction D1 is the row direction of the display panel, the second direction D2 is the column direction of the display panel, the first signal line 20 is a gate line, and the second signal line 30 is a data cable.
[0183] Note that the connection wiring 60 of the display substrate 01 shown in FIG. 15 extends along the column direction, and the connection wiring 60 of the display substrate 01 is not limited to being straight (i.e., the connection wiring 60 of the display substrate 01 is not limited to being a straight line segment), and in some examples, the connection wiring 60 of the display substrate 01 shown in FIG. 15 further includes a portion extending along the row direction.
[0184] For example, the source drain, the first winding and the second signal line are all located on the first electrode layer, and the first body, the gate and the first plate are located on the second electrode layer. Also, for example, the first winding and the second signal line are all located on the first electrode layer, and the first body and the second plate of the storage capacitor are located on the second electrode layer.
[0185] FIG. 16 is similar to FIG. 15, except that FIG. 16 shows more of the first signal line 20, and FIG. 6 does not show the fifth winding portion 34 of the second signal line 30, which is omitted here.
[0186] 17 illustrates a pixel circuit 921 provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure and a light-emitting element 920 driven by the pixel electrode. For example, at least one (e.g., all) of the first pixel circuit 412, the second pixel circuit 422, and the third pixel circuit 432 provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure may be implemented as the pixel circuit 921 illustrated in FIG.
[0187] 17, the pixel circuit 921 further includes a first light-emitting control circuit 923 and a second light-emitting control circuit 924. The driving circuit 922 includes a control end, a first end, and a second end, and is configured to provide a driving current to the organic light-emitting element 920 to drive the organic light-emitting element 920 to emit light. For example, the first light-emitting control circuit 923 is connected to the first end and the first voltage end VDD of the driving circuit 922, and is configured to realize communication or disconnection between the driving circuit 922 and the first voltage end VDD, and the second light-emitting control circuit 924 and the second end of the driving circuit 922 are electrically connected to the first electrode of the organic light-emitting element 920, and are configured to realize communication or disconnection between the driving circuit 922 and the organic light-emitting element 920.
[0188] 17, the pixel circuit 921 further includes a data write circuit 926, a storage circuit 927, a threshold compensation circuit 928, and a reset circuit 929. The data write circuit 926 is electrically connected to a first end of the driving circuit 922 and configured to write a data signal to the storage circuit 927 under the control of a scanning signal, the storage circuit 927 is electrically connected to a control end and a first voltage end VDD of the driving circuit 922 and configured to store the data signal, the threshold compensation circuit 928 is electrically connected to a control end and a second end of the driving circuit 922 and configured to perform threshold compensation for the driving circuit 922, and the reset circuit 929 is electrically connected to a control end of the driving circuit 922 and a first electrode of the organic light emitting element 920 and configured to reset the control end of the driving circuit 922 and the first electrode of the organic light emitting element 920 under the control of a reset control signal.
[0189] For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the driving circuit 922 includes a driving transistor T1, the control end of the driving circuit 922 includes the gate of the driving transistor T1, the first end of the driving circuit 922 includes a first pole of the driving transistor T1, and the second end of the driving circuit 922 includes a second pole of the driving transistor T1.
[0190] For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the data writing circuit 926 includes a data writing transistor T2, the memory circuit 927 includes a capacitor C, the threshold compensation circuit 928 includes a threshold compensation transistor T3, the first light-emitting control circuit 923 includes a first light-emitting control transistor T4, the second light-emitting control circuit 924 includes a second light-emitting control transistor T5, the reset circuit 929 includes a first reset transistor T6 and a second reset transistor T7, and the reset control signal may include a first sub-reset control signal and a second sub-reset control signal.
[0191] For example, as shown in FIG. 17 , a first electrode of the data write transistor T2 is electrically connected to a first electrode of the driving transistor T1, a second electrode of the data write transistor T2 is electrically connected to a data cable Vd to receive a data signal, a gate of the data write transistor T2 is electrically connected to a first scanning signal line Ga1 to receive a scanning signal, a first electrode of the capacitor C is electrically connected to a first power supply terminal VDD, a second electrode of the capacitor C is electrically connected to a gate of the driving transistor T1, a first electrode of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is electrically connected to a second electrode of the driving transistor T1, a second electrode of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is electrically connected to a gate of the driving transistor T1, a gate of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is electrically connected to a second scanning signal line Ga2 to receive a compensation control signal, a first electrode of the first reset transistor T6 is electrically connected to a first reset power supply terminal Vinit1 to receive a first reset signal, and a second electrode of the first reset transistor T6 is electrically connected to a gate of the driving transistor T1. a first electrode of the second reset transistor T7 electrically connected to the second reset power supply terminal Vinit2 to receive the second reset signal; a second electrode of the second reset transistor T7 electrically connected to the first electrode of the organic light emitting element 920; a gate of the second reset transistor T7 electrically connected to the second reset control signal line Rst2 to receive the second sub-reset control signal; a first electrode of the first emission control transistor T4 electrically connected to the first power supply terminal VDD; a second electrode of the first emission control transistor T4 electrically connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T1; a gate of the first emission control transistor T4 electrically connected to the first emission control signal line EM1 to receive the first emission control signal; a first electrode of the second emission control transistor T5 electrically connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T1; and a second electrode of the second emission control transistor T5 electrically connected to the second electrode of the organic light emitting element 920;The gate of the second light emission control transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second light emission control signal line EM2 to receive the second light emission control signal, and the first electrode of the organic light emitting element 920 is electrically connected to the second power supply terminal VSS.
[0192] For example, one of the first power supply terminal VDD and the second power supply terminal VSS1 is a high voltage terminal and the other is a low voltage terminal. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 17, the first power supply terminal VDD may be a voltage source that outputs a constant first voltage, the first voltage being a positive voltage, and the second power supply terminal VSS may be a voltage source that outputs a constant second voltage, the second voltage being a negative voltage, etc. For example, in some examples, the second power supply terminal VSS may be grounded.
[0193] 17, the scanning signal and the compensation control signal may be the same, i.e., the gate of the data writing transistor T2 and the gate of the threshold compensation transistor T3 may be electrically connected to the same signal line, e.g., the first scanning signal line Ga1, to receive the same signal (e.g., the scanning signal), in which case the display substrate 1000 does not need to be provided with the second scanning signal line Ga2 so as to reduce the number of signal lines. Also, for example, the gate of the data writing transistor T2 and the gate of the threshold compensation transistor T3 may also be electrically connected to different signal lines, i.e., the gate of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first scanning signal line Ga1, the gate of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second scanning signal line Ga2, and the first scanning signal line Ga1 and the second scanning signal line Ga2 transmit the same signal.
[0194] In addition, the scanning signal and the compensation control signal may also be different, so that the gate of the data writing transistor T2 and the threshold compensation transistor T3 can be controlled separately, which increases the flexibility of controlling the pixel circuit.
[0195] For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the first light-emitting control signal and the second light-emitting control signal may be the same, that is, the gate of the first light-emitting control transistor T4 and the gate of the second light-emitting control transistor T5 may be electrically connected to the same signal line, for example, the first light-emitting control signal line EM1, to receive the same signal (for example, the first light-emitting control signal). In this case, the display substrate 1000 may not be provided with the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 to reduce the number of signal lines. Also, for example, the gate of the first light-emitting control transistor T4 and the gate of the second light-emitting control transistor T5 may be electrically connected to different signal lines, that is, the gate of the first light-emitting control transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first light-emitting control signal line EM1, the gate of the second light-emitting control transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second light-emitting control signal line EM2, and the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 transmit the same signal.
[0196] In addition, when the first light-emitting control transistor T4 and the second light-emitting control transistor T5 are different types of transistors, for example, when the first light-emitting control transistor T4 is a P-type transistor and the second light-emitting control transistor T5 is an N-type transistor, the first light-emitting control signal and the second light-emitting control signal may be different, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.
[0197] For example, the first sub-reset control signal and the second sub-reset control signal may be the same, that is, the gate of the first reset transistor T6 and the gate of the second reset transistor T7 may be electrically connected to the same signal line, for example, the first reset control signal line Rst1, to receive the same signal (for example, the first sub-reset control signal), and in this case, the display substrate 1000 may not be provided with the second reset control signal line Rst2 to reduce the number of signal lines. Also, for example, the gate of the first reset transistor T6 and the gate of the second reset transistor T7 may also be electrically connected to different signal lines, that is, the gate of the first reset transistor T6 is electrically connected to the first reset control signal line Rst1, the gate of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second reset control signal line Rst2, and the first reset control signal line Rst1 and the second reset control signal line Rst2 transmit the same signal. Note that the first sub-reset control signal and the second sub-reset control signal may be different.
[0198] For example, in some examples, the second sub-reset control signal may be the same as the scanning signal, i.e., the gate of the second reset transistor T7 may be connected to the first scanning signal line Ga1 to receive the scanning signal as the second sub-reset control signal.
[0199] For example, the gate of the first reset transistor T6 and the source of the second reset transistor T7 are respectively connected to the first reset power terminal Vinit1 and the second reset power terminal Vinit2, and the first reset power terminal Vinit1 and the second reset power terminal Vinit2 may be a DC reference voltage terminal to output a constant DC reference voltage. The first reset power terminal Vinit1 may be the same as the second reset power terminal Vinit2, for example, the gate of the first reset transistor T6 and the source of the second reset transistor T7 are connected to the same reset power terminal. The first reset power terminal Vinit1 and the second reset power terminal Vinit2 may be a high voltage terminal or a low voltage terminal, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto, as long as they can provide a first reset signal and a second reset signal for resetting the gate of the driving transistor T1 and the first electrode of the light emitting element 920.
[0200] It should be noted that the driving circuit 922, the data writing circuit 926, the memory circuit 927, the threshold compensation circuit 928, and the reset circuit 929 in the pixel circuit shown in FIG. 17 are merely examples, and the specific structures of circuits such as the driving circuit 922, the data writing circuit 926, the memory circuit 927, the threshold compensation circuit 928, and the reset circuit 929 can be set according to actual application requirements, and are not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0201] For example, according to the characteristics of the transistor, the transistor is divided into an N-type transistor and a P-type transistor, and for clarity, the embodiments of the present disclosure will describe the technical solution of the present disclosure in detail with the transistor as a P-type transistor (e.g., a P-type MOS transistor), that is, in the description of the present disclosure, the driving transistor T1, the data writing transistor T2, the threshold compensation transistor T3, the first light-emitting control transistor T4, the second light-emitting control transistor T5, the first reset transistor T6, and the second reset transistor T7, etc., may all be P-type transistors. However, the transistors of the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to P-type transistors, and those skilled in the art can use N-type transistors (e.g., N-type MOS transistors) to realize the functions of one or more transistors of the embodiments of the present disclosure according to actual needs.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to distinguish the transistors, one pole is directly described as the first pole and the other pole as the second pole, except for the gate as the control electrode. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first pole and the second pole of all or part of the transistors are interchangeable as necessary.

For example, the LTPS layer (low temperature polysilicon layer), Gat1 layer (first gate layer), Gat2 layer (second gate layer) and SD layer (source drain electrode layer) are arranged in sequence from bottom to top in a direction perpendicular to the sub-pixel. The data cable of the SD layer (source drain electrode layer) is pulled out and then switched to the Gat1 layer (first gate layer) and Gat2 layer (second gate layer).

For example, the fourteenth electrode region ACT72 may be connected to the second connector CT2 through a via hole V6 shown in FIG. 25, and the initialization voltage line Vinit may be connected to the second connector CT2 through a via hole V7 shown in FIG. 25. In some embodiments, the fourteenth electrode region ACT72 and the sixth electrode region ACT32 may be integrally arranged.
[0225] Referring to Figures 20 and 24, the fifth channel region ACT53 may be a region where the fifth active layer ACT5 and the control line EM overlap, the sixth channel region ACT63 may be a region where the sixth active layer ACT6 and the control line EM overlap, and the seventh channel region ACT73 may be a region where the seventh active layer ACT7 and the reset line overlap.
[0226] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 20, the first active layer ACT1, the second active layer ACT2, the third active layer ACT3, the fourth active layer ACT4, the fifth active layer ACT5, the sixth active layer ACT6 and the seventh active layer ACT7 may be located in the same layer.
[0227] Hereinafter, a method for driving a sub-pixel according to some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described, in which it is assumed that the sub-pixel includes T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T7, and that the transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T7 are all P-type channel transistors.
[0228] In the reset stage, the third transistor T3 is turned on in response to a reset signal on the reset line Rese, and the second gate G2 of the second transistor T2 is connected to the initialization voltage line Vinit through the third transistor T3. In this way, the voltage of the second gate G2 of the driving transistor T1 is reset to the voltage of the initialization voltage line Vinit.
[0229] In the compensation stage, the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are brought into communication in response to the scanning signal of the scanning line Gat. In this case, the second transistor T2 is in a diode-connected state and is forward-biased. The voltage of the second gate G2 of the second transistor T2 is the sum of the voltage Vdata from the data signal of the data cable Dat and the threshold voltage Vth (negative quantity) of the second transistor T2, that is, Vdata+Vth. At this time, the voltage of the first electrode plate C1 of the capacitor Cst is Vdata+Vth, and the voltage of the second electrode plate C2 of the capacitor Cst is the voltage ELVDD of the power cable VDD. The capacitor Cst is charged with a charge corresponding to the voltage difference between the first electrode plate C1 and the second electrode plate C2.
[0230] In the light-emitting stage, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are brought into communication in response to a control signal on the control line EM. A driving current Id is generated according to a voltage difference between the voltage of the second gate G2 of the second transistor T2 and the voltage of the power cable VDD, and the driving current Id is supplied to the light-emitting element D by the sixth transistor T6. In the light-emitting stage, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the second transistor T2 is maintained at (Vdata+Vth)-ELVDD. The driving current Id is proportional to (Vdata-ELVDD)2. Therefore, the driving current Id is independent of the threshold voltage Vth of the first transistor T1.
[0231] Furthermore, in the reset stage, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on in response to a reset signal on the reset line Rese. The seventh transistor T7 may also be turned on simultaneously with the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4. When the second transistor T2 is turned off, a part of the driving current Id may flow out of the seventh transistor T7 as a bypass current Ibp to prevent the driving current Id from driving the light-emitting element D to emit light.
[0232] In addition, the display substrate 01 and other components of the display device 03 (e.g., image data encoding / decoding device, clock circuit, etc.) can use applicable components, which should be understood by those skilled in the art, and are omitted here and should not be considered as limitations on the present disclosure.
