[0035] In order to more clearly explain the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is clear that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. Any other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure without any creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure have the ordinary meaning understood by those skilled in the art. The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this disclosure do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Similar terms such as "comprise" and "included" mean that the element or thing appearing before the term includes the element or thing listed thereafter and their equivalents, but do not exclude other elements or things. Similar terms such as "connected" and "connected to each other" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may also include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "top," "bottom," "left," and "right" are merely used to indicate relative positions, and if the absolute position of the described object is changed, the relative positions may change accordingly.

[0037] Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panels have characteristics such as self-luminance, high contrast, low energy consumption, wide viewing angle, fast response time, adaptability to flexible panels, wide operating temperature range, and ease of manufacturing, and have broad development prospects. To meet the diverse needs of users, it is important to integrate multiple functions, such as touch function and fingerprint recognition function, into the display panel. For example, forming an on-cell touch structure on the OLED display panel is one embodiment of realizing the touch function of the display panel by forming a touch structure on the packaging film of the OLED display panel.

[0038] Depending on the operating principle and transmission medium, touch structures can be divided into resistive, capacitive, surface acoustic wave, and infrared. Capacitive touch structures are widely adopted due to their high accuracy and resistance to interference. Capacitive touch structures are mainly divided into mutual capacitance and self-capacitive touch structures. Mutual capacitance structures overlap a first touch electrode layer and a second touch electrode layer to form mutual capacitance, and detect touch position using changes in mutual capacitance. Self-capacitive structures form self-capacitance between the touch electrode and the human body or ground, and detect position using changes in self-capacitance. Self-capacitance touch structures are characterized by low power consumption and simple structure, and are widely used in various display panels.

[0039] For example, FIG. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a self-capacitance touch structure. As shown in FIG. 1, the self-capacitance touch structure has a plurality of touch units T1, T2, etc., spaced apart, and the plurality of touch units T1, T2 are connected to a touch chip IC by a plurality of touch wirings L1, L2, respectively. Each touch unit has a first touch layer, a second touch layer, and a touch insulation layer between the first touch layer and the second touch layer. For example, FIG. 2 shows a schematic plan view of the first touch layer. FIG. 3 shows a schematic plan view of the second touch layer. FIG. 4 shows a schematic plan view of the first touch layer and the second touch layer stacked together.

[0040] As shown in Figure 3, the second touch layer has a metal network structure and can function as a touch sensing structure, and when a finger touches the touch structure, the finger forms a capacitor between a metal line in the metal network structure, thereby changing the capacitor formed between the original metal network structure and the land, so that the touch chip IC can detect the position where the capacitor changes and further determine the position where the finger touches. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the first touch layer can function as a wiring layer, which includes multiple touch wirings and can respectively connect multiple touch units to the touch IC.

[0041] As shown in Figure 4, after the first touch layer and the second touch layer are stacked, the wiring lines on the first touch layer and the second touch layer completely overlap, so a relatively large parasitic capacitance occurs at the overlapping position OP, resulting in a poor touch effect.In addition, as shown in Figure 2, the touch wiring lines on the first touch layer are generally arranged along the vertical direction, so that under strong light, users can easily see the wiring lines on the first touch layer from the surface of the touch structure, making the pattern of the first touch layer less visible and resulting in a poor user experience. At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a touch structure, the touch structure including: a base; and a plurality of touch units disposed on the base; at least one of the plurality of touch units includes a first conductive layer, a spacing insulating layer, and a second conductive layer, which are sequentially stacked on the base; the first conductive layer includes a first pattern formed by a plurality of first wirings spaced apart from each other; and the second conductive layer includes a second pattern formed by a plurality of second wirings spaced apart from each other. At least one of the multiple first wirings includes a first overlapping portion that overlaps with at least one of the multiple second wirings, and at least one of the multiple second wirings includes a second overlapping portion that overlaps with the first overlapping portion, and the first segment in which the first overlapping portion is located has an extension direction different from that of the second segment in which the second overlapping portion is located, and the first segment is a line segment of the first wiring that extends from the first overlapping portion as an end point, and the second segment is a line segment of the second wiring that extends from the second overlapping portion as an end point.

[0042] In the above touch structure according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first segments of the plurality of first wirings and the second segments of the plurality of second wirings have different line extension directions, and therefore when they overlap, the first overlapping portions of the plurality of first wirings and the second overlapping portions of the plurality of second wirings exhibit a "point-like" overlap and have a relatively small overlapping area, so that the plurality of first wirings and the plurality of second wirings do not generate parasitic capacitance, or the generated parasitic capacitance is small and negligible, thereby improving the touch accuracy and touch sensitivity of the touch structure, further improving the touch effect, and improving the user experience.

[0043] The following describes the touch structures and display panels of some embodiments of the present disclosure through some specific examples.

[0044] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a touch structure. Figure 5 shows a schematic plan view of the touch structure. Figure 6 shows a schematic plan view of a first conductive layer of a touch unit in the touch structure. Figure 7 shows a schematic plan view of a second conductive layer in the touch unit. Figure 8 shows a schematic view of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer stacked in the touch unit. Figure 9 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the touch unit in Figure 8 taken along line AA.

[0045] 5 to 9, the touch structure includes a base B and a plurality of touch units T11, T12, T13, etc., disposed on the base B, where the plurality of touch units T11, T12, T13, etc., are arranged in an array, for example, each touch unit has a block shape as a whole, for example, the plane shape of each touch unit is rectangular or square, etc. These touch units T11, T12, and T13 are disposed at intervals and electrically connected to a touch driving circuit D by a plurality of touch wirings L11, L12, and L13, respectively, to transmit electrical signals to the touch driving circuit D or obtain electrical signals from the touch driving circuit D.

[0046] For example, at least one (e.g., each) of the plurality of touch units includes a first conductive layer M1, a spacing insulating layer I, and a second conductive layer M2, which are sequentially stacked on a base B. The first conductive layer M1 includes a first pattern formed by a plurality of first wirings 11 arranged at intervals from each other, and the second conductive layer M2 includes a second pattern formed by a plurality of second wirings 12 arranged at intervals from each other. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, at least one (e.g., each) of the plurality of first wirings 11 includes a first overlapping portion 111 that overlaps with at least one of the plurality of second wirings 12, and at least one (e.g., each) of the plurality of second wirings 12 includes a second overlapping portion 112 that overlaps with the first overlapping portion 111, and the first segment 112 (the portion surrounded by a dashed line frame in FIG. 6) in which the first overlapping portion 111 is located overlaps with the second segment 122 in which the second overlapping portion 121 is located. The first segment 112 has an extension direction different from that of the first wiring 11 (the portion surrounded by the dashed frame in Figure 7), and the first segment 112 is a portion of the first wiring 11 including the first overlapping portion 111, i.e., the first segment 112 is a line segment of the first wiring 11 extending from the first overlapping portion 111 as an end point, and the second segment 122 is a portion of the second wiring 12 including the second overlapping portion 121, i.e., the second segment 112 is a line segment of the second wiring 12 extending from the second overlapping portion 121 as an end point.

[0047] As a result, the first segments 112 of the plurality of first wirings 11 and the second segments 122 of the plurality of second wirings 12 have different wire extension directions, and therefore when they overlap, the first overlapping portions 111 of the plurality of first wirings 11 and the second overlapping portions 121 of the plurality of second wirings 12 exhibit a "point-like" overlap and have a relatively small overlapping area, so that the plurality of first wirings 11 and the plurality of second wirings 12 do not generate parasitic capacitance, or the generated parasitic capacitance is small and negligible, thereby improving the touch accuracy and touch sensitivity of the touch structure, further improving the touch effect, and improving the user experience.

[0048] For example, the first segment 112 and the second segment 122 may include straight line segments, in which case the extension direction of the first segment 112 and the second segment 122 is the extension direction of the straight line segments, or the first segment 112 and the second segment 122 may include arc line segments, in which case the extension direction of the first segment 112 and the second segment 122 is the extension direction of a tangent to the arc line segments whose endpoints are the first overlapping portion 111 and the second overlapping portion 121. For example, in FIG. 6, the extension direction of the first segment 112 is the extension direction of the dashed line in FIG. 6. For example, in FIG. 7, the extension direction of the second segment 122 is the extension direction of the dashed line in FIG. 7. For example, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, at at least one position O where the first overlapping portion 111 overlaps the second overlapping portion 121, the first overlapping portion 111 and the second overlapping portion 121 are electrically connected by a via hole I1 in the spacing insulation layer I.

[0049] For example, the size of one first overlapping portion 111 in either direction is equal to or greater than the line width of first wiring 11 perpendicular to its extension direction, and is equal to or less than twice the line width of first wiring 11 perpendicular to its extension direction, and the size of one second overlapping portion 121 in either direction is equal to or greater than the line width of second wiring 12 perpendicular to its extension direction, and is equal to or less than twice the line width of second wiring 12 perpendicular to its extension direction. This ensures the reliability of the electrical connection between first overlapping portion 111 and second overlapping portion 121.

[0050] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the first wiring 11 is generally bent and extends substantially along a first direction (the vertical direction in the figure), and as shown in FIG. 7, the second wiring 12 is generally bent and extends substantially along a second direction (the lower right direction in the figure). For example, the angle between the first direction and the second direction is 30°-90°, such as 45°, 60°, or 70°. Therefore, when a touch structure is installed on a display panel, the above design of the multiple first wirings 11 and the multiple second wirings 12 ensures that the extending positions of the multiple first wirings 11 and the multiple second wirings 12 avoid the light-emitting regions of multiple sub-pixels on the display panel, and further avoids affecting the display effect of the multiple sub-pixels.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the overall extension direction of the first wiring or the second wiring refers to the macro extension direction that the first wiring or the second wiring has as a whole when the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are observed as a whole.

[0052] For example, in some embodiments, in one touch unit, the multiple first wirings 11 include at least one (e.g., multiple) first connection wirings 11A, and the first overlapping portion 111 of the first connection wiring 11A and the second overlapping portion 121 of at least a portion of the multiple second wirings 12 that overlap with the first overlapping portion are electrically connected by a via hole I in the spacing insulation layer.

[0053] For example, the multiple first overlapping portions 111 of the multiple first connection wirings 11A and the second overlapping portions 121 of two adjacent second wirings 12 are each electrically connected by a via hole I in the spacing insulating layer, thereby electrically connecting the two adjacent second wirings 12, as shown in Figure 8.

[0054] For example, the second overlapping portions 121 of any two adjacent second wirings 12 are electrically connected by at least one of the first connection wirings 11A. For example, the second overlapping portions 121 of some two adjacent second wirings 12 are electrically connected by the same first connection wiring 11A, or the second overlapping portions 121 of some two adjacent second wirings 12 are electrically connected by different first connection wirings 11A. This allows all second wirings 12 in each touch unit to be electrically connected by multiple first connection wirings 11A, thereby configuring the touch sensing lines of the touch unit to sense touch operations. That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the multiple first connection wirings 11A included in the multiple first wirings 11 are used to electrically connect the multiple second wirings 12, and therefore the multiple first connection wirings 11A, together with the multiple second wirings 12, configure the touch sensing lines of the touch unit for sensing touch operations.

[0055] For example, as shown in Fig. 6, the plurality of first connection wirings 11A are arranged at intervals, for example, the plurality of first connection wirings 11A are arranged at intervals in the plurality of first wirings 11. For example, in some examples, the plurality of first wirings 11 further includes a plurality of second connection wirings 11B, and the plurality of second connection wirings 11B and the first connection wirings 11A are arranged at intervals, for example, the plurality of second connection wirings 11B are respectively installed between adjacent first connection wirings 11A, and the plurality of second connection wirings 11B may be touch wirings of a plurality of touch units. For example, the touch unit shown in Figs. 6 to 8 may be the touch unit T13 in Fig. 5, and in this case, the plurality of second connection wirings 11B may be touch wirings L11 and L12 of the plurality of touch units T11 and T12. For example, the plurality of second connection wirings 11B are insulated from the plurality of first connection wirings 11A and the plurality of second wirings 12, i.e., there is a gap between the plurality of second connection wirings 11B and the plurality of first connection wirings 11A in the first conductive layer.

[0056] 5 , the touch structure may further include a touch drive circuit D, and the first connecting wires 11A are electrically connected to the touch drive circuit D. For example, in some examples, the plurality of second connecting wires 11B and the plurality of first connecting wires 11A are both electrically connected to the touch drive circuit D, so that the plurality of second connecting wires 11B and the plurality of first connecting wires 11A can obtain electrical signals from or transmit electrical signals to the touch drive circuit D. For example, the touch drive circuit D may be any type of control circuit, such as a touch chip.

[0057] 6, in some embodiments, the first conductive layer M1 may further include a third segment 113 connected to the plurality of first connecting lines 11A and extending in a different direction, for example, the extension direction of the third segment 113 is perpendicular to the first direction. In this case, the third segment 113 may be a part of the first connecting line 11A, and may also function as a touch sensing line for sensing a touch operation together with the plurality of second lines 12. Thus, the provision of the third segment 113 may extend the extension range of the touch sensing line, further improving the touch precision and touch sensitivity of the touch structure.

[0058] For example, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the first end of the third segment 113 is connected to a plurality of first connecting wires 11A, and the second end of the third segment 113 is spaced apart from a plurality of adjacent second connecting wires 11, and the minimum spacing distance G1 is 1 μm-6 μm, such as 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, or 5.5 μm, thereby enabling the third segment 113 to have a relatively long extension length and providing a sufficient safety distance between the first connecting wire 11A and the second connecting wire 11B to maintain insulation.

[0059] 6, in some embodiments, the first conductive layer M1 may further include a fourth segment 114 that is spaced apart from the plurality of first wirings 11 and has a different extension direction. For example, the extension direction of the fourth segment 114 is the same as the extension direction of the third segment 113. For example, both ends of the fourth segment 114 are spaced apart from the plurality of first wirings 11, and the minimum distances G2 and G3 of the spaces are 1 μm-6 μm, such as 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, or 5.5 μm. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the fourth segment 114 is a virtual line and is not connected to any circuit structure. The installation of the fourth segment 114 can make the pattern of the first conductive layer M1 uniform, and in the manufacturing process of the touch structure, can maintain the uniformity of the etching pattern of the first conductive layer M1, allow the first conductive layer M1 to have relatively high manufacturing precision, and make the visual effect of the entire surface of the manufactured first conductive layer M1 more uniform. For example, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , the plurality of second wirings 12 may further include a fifth segment 123 connected to the second segment 122 of the plurality of second wirings 12 and extending in a different direction. For example, the extension direction of the fifth segment 123 intersects with, for example, perpendicular to, the second direction. For example, in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the base B, the fifth segment 123 does not overlap with the plurality of first wirings 11. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the fifth segment 123 can extend the extension range of the plurality of second wirings 12 and function as a touch sensing line, thereby improving the touch accuracy and touch sensitivity of the touch structure.

[0060] For example, in some embodiments, the line width of the plurality of first wirings 11 (i.e., the size in the extension direction perpendicular to the wiring) may be 2 μm-4 μm, such as 2.5 μm, 3 μm, or 3.5 μm. The line width of the plurality of second wirings 12 may be 2 μm-4 μm, such as 2.5 μm, 3 μm, or 3.5 μm. The line width of the plurality of first wirings 11 and the line width of the plurality of second wirings 12 may be the same or different.

[0061] For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first conductive layer M1 and the second conductive layer M2 of the touch structure may be metal layers or transparent conductive layers, and the materials thereof may include metal materials such as copper and aluminum, or transparent metal oxides such as ITO and IZO. The base B may include an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride, or an organic insulating material such as polyimide. The spacing insulating layer I may include an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride, or an organic insulating material such as polyimide. For example, as shown in FIG. 9 , a protective insulating layer P may be further coated on the second conductive layer M2 of the touch structure, and the protective insulating layer P may include an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride, or an organic insulating material such as polyimide to protect the second conductive layer M2. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit other structures and materials of the touch structure.

[0062] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a display panel, the display panel including a display substrate and a touch structure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, Figure 10 shows a schematic plan view of a portion of the display panel. The touch structure shown in Figure 10 is, for example, the portion of the touch structure within the dashed frame in Figure 5. Figure 11 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a portion of one sub-pixel of the display panel.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 11, the display substrate includes a base substrate 1011, a driving circuit layer, a light-emitting element layer, and a package layer EN sequentially arranged on the base substrate 1011, and the touch structure is arranged on one side of the package layer EN away from the base substrate 1011, in which case the first conductive layer M1 is closer to the package layer EN than the second conductive layer M2.

[0064] For example, the display substrate has a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array for display operation, each of the plurality of pixel units including a plurality of sub-pixels, each of the plurality of sub-pixels including a pixel driving circuit disposed in a driving circuit layer and a light-emitting element EM disposed in a light-emitting element layer, the light-emitting element EM having a light-emitting region LE, 11, the pixel driving circuit includes structures such as a thin film transistor T and a storage capacitor C. The thin film transistor T includes an active layer 1021, a gate 1022, a gate insulating layer 1014 (e.g., including a first gate insulating layer 1014A and a second gate insulating layer 1014B), an interlayer insulating layer 1015, and a source / drain (e.g., including a source 1023 and a drain 1024), which are sequentially disposed on a base substrate 1011. The storage capacitor C includes a first electrode plate 1031 and a second electrode plate 1032. For example, the first electrode plate 1031 is disposed in the same layer as the gate 1022, and the second electrode plate 1032 is located between the gate insulating layer 1014 and the interlayer insulating layer 1015.

[0065] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the placement of two structural or functional layers on the same layer means that the two structural or functional layers can be formed using the same material layer and the same manufacturing process (e.g., a patterning process, etc.), thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the display substrate.

[0066] For example, the pixel driving circuit can be formed as a structure such as 2T1C (two thin film transistors, one storage capacitor), 6T1C (six thin film transistors, one storage capacitor), etc., thereby including a plurality of thin film transistors, which have a structure similar to or the same as the stacked structure shown in Figure 11, where only the thin film transistor directly connected to the light-emitting element is shown, and the thin film transistor may be a driving thin film transistor, a light-emitting control thin film transistor, etc.

[0067] 11 , the display substrate may further include a planarization layer 1016, a pixel defining layer 1017, and a spacer 1018. The planarization layer 1016 is used to planarize the pixel driving circuit, and the pixel defining layer 1017 is disposed on one side of the planarization layer 1016 away from the pixel driving circuit, and the pixel defining layer 1017 includes a plurality of sub-pixel openings for defining light-emitting areas LE of a plurality of sub-pixels.

[0068] For example, the light-emitting element EM includes an anode layer 1041, an emitting layer 1042, and a cathode layer 1043. The anode layer 1041 is connected to the source 1023 of the thin-film transistor T by a via hole in the planarization layer 1016. For example, the cathode layer 1043 is formed over the entire surface of the base substrate 1011. For example, in some examples, an auxiliary emitting layer (not shown) that helps the emitting layer 1042 emit light may be further included between the anode layer 1041 and the emitting layer 1042 and between the cathode layer 1043 and the emitting layer 1042, and may include, for example, one or more of an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, a hole transport layer, and a hole injection layer (not shown).

[0069] For example, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11 , the display substrate may further include a buffer layer 1012 disposed on the base substrate 1011, which can provide a flat surface and protect other functional structures on the base substrate 1011 by preventing impurities such as water oxygen from penetrating from the base substrate 1011 into functional structures such as pixel driving circuits.

[0070] 11 , the display panel may further include a black matrix layer BM disposed on one side of the touch structure away from the base substrate 1011 (as shown) or on one side close to the base substrate 1011. The black matrix layer BM includes a plurality of first light-transmitting openings BM1 and a plurality of second light-transmitting openings BM2. The plurality of first light-transmitting openings BM1 are configured to respectively pass light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting elements EM. For example, when the plurality of first light-transmitting openings BM1 are orthogonally projected onto the base substrate 1011, the light-emitting areas LE of the respective plurality of light-emitting elements EM at least partially overlap, for example completely overlap, with the orthogonal projection onto the base substrate 1011.

[0071] For example, in some examples, each pixel unit includes one red subpixel, one blue subpixel, and two green subpixels, and in this case, as shown in Figure 10, the plurality of first light-transmitting apertures BM1 include a first light-transmitting aperture R of a light-emitting element corresponding to the red subpixel, a first light-transmitting aperture B of a light-emitting element corresponding to the blue subpixel, and a first light-transmitting aperture G of a light-emitting element corresponding to the green subpixel.

[0072] 11 , the drive circuit layer includes a plurality of light-transmitting portions TP, and at least some of the second light-transmitting openings BM2 are disposed corresponding to at least one of the plurality of light-transmitting portions TP, and in the correspondingly disposed second light-transmitting openings BM2 and light-transmitting portions TP, the orthogonal projection of the second light-transmitting opening BM2 onto the base substrate 1011 at least partially overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting portion TP onto the base substrate 1011. The second light-transmitting opening BM2 and the light-transmitting portion TP can be used to transmit sensing light, such as sensing light recognized by a pattern, as will be described in detail below.

[0073] For example, at least some of the light-transmitting portions TP are disposed between the light-emitting regions LE of the light-emitting elements EM of adjacent sub-pixels in a direction parallel to the surface of the base substrate 1011. For example, the plurality of light-transmitting portions TP are disposed between the pixel driving circuits of adjacent sub-pixels, respectively.

[0074] For example, in some embodiments, the plurality of pixel units includes at least one first pixel unit, and the plurality of sub-pixels included in the first pixel unit overlap with the plurality of second light-transmitting apertures in a one-to-one correspondence in a direction perpendicular to the display substrate, for example, the plurality of pixel units are all first pixel units, and in this case, each sub-pixel in the display panel corresponds to one second light-transmitting aperture BM2.

[0075] 10 , the plurality of second light-transmitting openings BM2 include second light-transmitting openings B1, B2, B3, and B4, each corresponding to a different subpixel of the first pixel unit, and the shapes and sizes of the second light-transmitting openings B1, B2, B3, and B4 are all different.

[0076] For example, in some embodiments, the plurality of first wirings 11 and the plurality of second wirings 12 do not overlap with the plurality of first light-transmitting openings BM1 and the plurality of second light-transmitting openings BM2 in a direction perpendicular to the base substrate 1011 (the vertical direction in the figure).

[0077] 11 , in a direction parallel to the base substrate 1011 (the horizontal direction in the figure), a distance H1 between the plurality of first light-transmitting openings BM1 and the plurality of first wirings 11 and / or the plurality of second wirings 12 is greater than 1 μm, e.g., greater than 2.5 μm, for example, H1 is 3 μm or 3.5 μm, etc. For example, in some embodiments, a distance H2 between the plurality of second light-transmitting openings BM2 and the plurality of first wirings 11 and / or the plurality of second wirings 12 in a direction parallel to the base substrate 1011 is also greater than 1 μm, e.g., greater than 2.5 μm, for example, H2 is 3 μm or 3.5 μm, etc. As a result, the plurality of first light-transmitting openings BM1 and the plurality of second light-transmitting openings BM2 are sufficiently separated from the plurality of first wirings 11 and the plurality of second wirings 12, and the plurality of first wirings 11 and the plurality of second wirings 12 are sufficiently shielded by the black matrix layer BM, so that even under strong light, the user cannot see the plurality of first wirings 11 and the plurality of second wirings 12 from the surface of the display panel, improving the user's visual experience.

[0078] For example, in some embodiments, as shown in Fig. 10, one first wiring 11 or one second wiring 12 is provided between two adjacent second light-transmitting openings BM2 among the plurality of second light-transmitting openings BM2. For example, in the example shown in Fig. 10, one first wiring 11 is provided between the second light-transmitting opening B1 and the second light-transmitting opening B2, one second wiring 12 is provided between the second light-transmitting opening B2 and the second light-transmitting opening B3, and one first wiring 11 is provided between the second light-transmitting opening B3 and the second light-transmitting opening B4. This allows the plurality of second light-transmitting openings BM2 to be uniformly arranged between the plurality of first wirings 11 and the plurality of second wirings 12, which contributes to the uniformity of the display panel.

[0079] For example, in the direction perpendicular to the base substrate 1011, the multiple first wirings 11 and the multiple second wirings 12 do not overlap with the light-emitting areas LE of the light-emitting elements EM of the multiple sub-pixels, and further avoid affecting the display effect of the multiple sub-pixels.

[0080] For example, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, in a direction parallel to the surface of the base substrate 1011, at least one second light-transmitting opening BM2 of the multiple second light-transmitting openings BM2 is located between the light-emitting region LE of the light-emitting element of one subpixel and one first wiring 11 or one second wiring 12, and the distance from the light-emitting region LE of the light-emitting element of the one subpixel to the first wiring 11 or second wiring 12 adjacent to the at least one second light-transmitting opening BM2 is greater than the distance from the light-emitting region LE of the light-emitting element of the one subpixel to another first wiring 11 or second wiring 12.

[0081] 10 , in a direction parallel to the surface of the base substrate 1011, the second light-transmitting opening B2 is located between the light-emitting region LE of the light-emitting element of the blue subpixel and one of the second wirings 12, and a distance H3 from the light-emitting region LE of the light-emitting element of the blue subpixel to the second wiring 12 adjacent to the second light-transmitting opening B2 is greater than a distance H4 from the light-emitting region of the light-emitting element of the blue subpixel to another first wiring 11 or second wiring 12. This allows the first light-transmitting opening BM1, the second light-transmitting opening BM2, the plurality of first wirings 11, and the plurality of second wirings 12 to be uniformly arranged on the display panel, preventing the display function and the touch function in the display panel from affecting each other and improving the display and touch effects of the display panel.

[0082] 11, the display panel may further include a plurality of color filters CF respectively disposed in the plurality of first light-transmitting apertures BM1. The color filters CF include a plurality of different color filters corresponding to the light-emitting elements of the sub-pixels of different colors. For example, the corresponding sub-pixels and the color filters CF have the same color, so that the color of the light emitted from the light-emitting elements of the sub-pixels and transmitted through the color filters CF is purer, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0083] 11, in some embodiments, the display panel may further include a textured touch surface S1 and an image sensor array SA, where the image sensor SA is arranged in an array on one side of the driving circuit layer away from the light-emitting element layer and includes a plurality of image sensors S2, which are configured to receive light emitted from a plurality of light-emitting elements EM in the light-emitting element layer and reflected by a textured pattern (e.g., a fingerprint, palm print, etc.) on the textured touch surface S1, passing through the second light-transmitting opening BM2 and the light-transmitting portion TP to reach the plurality of image sensors S2, in order to collect a texture. This allows the display panel to further have a texture recognition function.

[0084] For example, in some embodiments, the image sensor SA may be installed on one side of the base substrate 1011 away from the driving circuit layer, so that in the manufacturing process, it may be attached to the base substrate 1011 after the manufacturing of the display substrate is completed, thereby not affecting the process of the display substrate.

[0085] 11, the display panel may further include a transparent cover plate CV disposed on one side of the black matrix layer BM away from the base substrate 1011. For example, the surface of the transparent cover plate CV may be formed as a textured touch surface S1, and the transparent cover plate CV may be, for example, a glass cover plate.

[0086] For example, in some embodiments, the display substrate may be a flexible display substrate, in which case the base substrate 1011 may include a flexible insulating material such as polyimide (PI). For example, in some examples, the base substrate 1011 may be a laminate structure in which multiple flexible layers and multiple barrier layers are alternately arranged, such as a laminate structure in which two flexible layers and two barrier layers are alternately arranged. In this case, the flexible layers may include polyimide, and the barrier layers may include an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride. For example, in some embodiments, the display substrate may be a rigid substrate, in which case the base substrate 1011 may be a rigid substrate such as glass, quartz, or the like.

[0087] For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the buffer layer 1012 may be made of inorganic insulating materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride; the active layer 1021 may be made of materials such as polycrystalline silicon and metal oxide; the gate insulating layer 1014 may be made of inorganic insulating materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride; and the gate 1022 and the first electrode plate 1031 may be made of metal materials such as copper, aluminum, titanium, and cobalt, and may be formed as a single layer structure or a multi-layer structure, such as titanium / aluminum / titanium, molybdenum / aluminum / molybdenum, etc. The second electrode plate 1032 may be made of a metal or alloy material such as copper, aluminum, titanium, or cobalt. The interlayer insulating layer 1015 may be made of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride. The source and drain electrodes 1023 and 1024 may be made of a metal material such as copper, aluminum, titanium, or cobalt, and may be formed as a single layer or a multilayer structure, such as titanium / aluminum / titanium or molybdenum / aluminum / molybdenum. The anode layer 1041 may be made of a metal oxide such as ITO or IZO, or a metal or alloy thereof such as Ag, Al, or Mo. The materials for the light-emitting layer 1042 and the auxiliary light-emitting layer are organic materials. The material for the light-emitting layer 1042 may be selected from light-emitting materials capable of emitting light of a certain color (e.g., red, blue, or green) as needed. The material of the cathode layer 1043 may include a metal such as Mg, Ca, Li, or Al or an alloy thereof, a metal oxide such as IZO or ZTO, or a conductive organic material such as PEDOT / PSS (poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene / polystyrene sulfonate). The planarization layer 1016, the pixel definition layer 1017, and the spacer 1018 may employ an organic insulating material such as polyimide.

[0088] For example, the package layer EN may include a composite package layer, including a first inorganic package layer 1051, a first organic package layer 1052, and a second inorganic package layer 1053, which are stacked in sequence. For example, the first inorganic package layer 1051 and the second inorganic package layer 1053 may be formed using inorganic materials such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, or silicon nitride oxide, and the first organic package layer 1052 may be formed using organic materials such as polyimide (PI) or epoxy resin. This composite package layer can provide multiple protection for the functional structures on the display panel and achieve a higher packaging effect. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit the materials of the various functional structures on the display panel.
