[0028] The drawings are for better understanding of the technical solution of the present disclosure, constitute a part of the specification, and are used to explain the technical solution of the present disclosure together with the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the technical solution of the present disclosure. The shapes and sizes of each part in the drawings are for the purpose of merely explaining the contents of the present disclosure and do not reflect the true ratio.
[0029] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The embodiments may be implemented in many different forms. As can be easily understood by those skilled in the art, the manner and content may be converted into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited only to the description of the following embodiments. If there is no conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits detailed descriptions of some known functions and known components. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure relate only to structures related to the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures may refer to general designs.
[0030] The ratios of the drawings in this disclosure can be used as a reference for the actual process, but are not limited thereto. For example, the aspect ratio of the channel, the thickness and pitch of each film layer, and the width and pitch of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. In addition, the number of pixels in the display device and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the drawings, and the drawings described in this disclosure are merely structural schematic diagrams, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or numerical values shown in the drawings.
[0031] In the drawings, the size, thickness or area of one or more components may be exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, one embodiment of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to the dimensions, and the shape and size of one or more parts in the drawings do not reflect the true ratio. In addition, the drawings are schematic illustrations of ideal examples, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes, numerical values, etc. shown in the drawings.
[0032] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" are used to avoid confusion of components and are not intended to be limiting in terms of quantity.
[0033] In this specification, for convenience, the positions of components are described with reference to the drawings using terms indicating orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", and "outside". However, this is for the purpose of explaining and simplifying the specification, and is not intended to indicate or suggest that the described device or element has a specific orientation and must be configured and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the components is appropriately changed depending on the direction in which the components are described. Therefore, it is not limited to the terms described in the specification, and may be appropriately changed in some cases.
[0034] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "attached", "coupled" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. It may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection. It may be a direct connection, an indirect connection via a linker, or an internal communication between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure according to the specific situation.
[0035] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and a current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. In this disclosure, a channel region refers to a region through which a current mainly flows.
[0036] In this specification, the first electrode may be a drain electrode and the second electrode may be a source electrode, or the first electrode may be a source electrode and the second electrode may be a drain electrode. The functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" may be interchanged, such as when using transistors with reversed polarity or when the direction of current flow during circuit operation changes. Thus, in this specification, the terms "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged.
[0037] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes cases where components are connected via an element having a certain electrical function. The "element having a certain electrical function" is not particularly limited as long as it can transmit and receive electrical signals between the components being connected. Examples of the "element having a certain electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and elements having various other functions.
[0038] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state in which the angle between two straight lines is between -10° and 10°, including a state in which the angle is between -5° and 5°, and "perpendicular" refers to a state in which the angle between two straight lines is between 80° and 100°, including a state in which the angle is between 85° and 95°.
[0039] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" are interchangeable. For example, a "conductive layer" may be changed to a "conductive film." Similarly, an "insulating film" may be changed to an "insulating layer."
[0040] In this description, the term "disposed in the same layer" refers to a structure formed by patterning two (or more) types of structures by the same patterning process, and the materials may be the same or different. For example, the materials of the precursors forming the multiple structures disposed in the same layer are the same, and the materials finally formed may be the same or different.
[0041] The shapes such as triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, and hexagons in this specification are not strictly defined, and may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, and hexagons, and may have some small deformations due to tolerances, and may have chamfers, arc edges, deformations, and the like.
[0042] In this disclosure, "about" does not specify a precise limit, but allows for values within process or measurement error.
[0043] The display substrate uses low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology, which has the advantages of high resolution, high response speed, high brightness, and high aperture ratio. Although it has been welcomed by the market, LTPS technology also has some drawbacks, such as high production costs and high power consumption. At this time, the low temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) technology has been introduced. Compared with LTPS technology, LTPO technology has a smaller leakage current and faster pixel response, and an oxide layer is added to the display substrate, which reduces the energy consumption required for exciting the pixel points and reduces the power consumption when displaying the screen. However, compared with display products using LTPS technology, display products using LTPO technology require additional driving circuits to control the metal oxide transistors in the display products, so that display products using LTPO technology cannot achieve narrow bezels.
