AI Technical Summary
Existing display technologies face challenges in designing narrow frames and full-screen displays due to the width difference between the display and binding areas, leading to increased space occupation and difficulty in achieving a lower frame width, especially in OLED and QLED devices.
The display substrate incorporates a data connection line within the display area, connecting to lead-out lines via fan-out electrodes, and a net-like power supply wiring structure, reducing the length of the lead area and minimizing the frame width by integrating power supply lines within the display area.
This design effectively reduces the lower frame width, enhances screen occupancy, and facilitates full-screen display by minimizing the oblique fan-out lines and voltage drop, improving display quality and uniformity.

Note that the embodiments can be implemented in many different forms. As can be easily understood by those skilled in the art, the manner and content can 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 can be combined with each other.
[0043] The proportions in the drawings in this disclosure may be used as a reference for the actual process, but are not limited thereto. For example, the ratio of the width and length of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line may be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels on the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are also 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 values shown in the drawings.
[0044] 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.

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 each component is described. Therefore, it is not limited to the terms described in the specification, and may be appropriately changed in some cases.
[0046] In this specification, unless otherwise 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 technical terms in the present disclosure according to the specific situation.
[0047] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element including 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 specification, the channel region refers to a region through which a current mainly flows.
[0048] In this specification, the first pole may be a drain electrode and the second pole may be a source electrode, or the first pole may be a source electrode and the second pole may be a drain electrode. When using transistors with opposite polarity, or when the current direction during operation in the circuit changes, the functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged. Thus, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged, and "source terminal" and "drain terminal" may be interchanged.
[0049] In this specification, "electrically connected" 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 is capable of transmitting and receiving 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 other elements having various functions.
[0050] 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°.
[0051] 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."
[0052] The triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, etc. in this specification are not intended to be exact, and may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, etc., and may have small deformations due to tolerances, and may have chamfers, arc edges, and deformations.
[0053] In this disclosure, "about" refers to a case where the boundary is not precisely defined, but rather allows for numerical values within process and measurement error.

The data driver generates data voltages to be provided to the data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., Dn using the gray value and the control signal received from the timing controller. For example, the data driver may sample the gray value using a clock signal, and apply data voltages corresponding to the gray value to the data signal lines D1 to Dn in units of pixel rows, where n may be a natural number. The scan driver may generate scan signals to be provided to the scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., Sm by receiving a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver may sequentially provide scan signals having a turn-on level pulse to the scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver may be configured in the form of a shift register, and may generate scan signals by sequentially transferring the scan start signal provided in the form of a turn-on level pulse to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m may be a natural number.The light emitting driver may receive a clock signal, a firing stop signal, etc. from the timing controller to generate firing signals to be provided to the light emitting signal lines E1, E2, E3, ..., Eo.

The low temperature polysilicon film transistor and the oxide film transistor are integrated into one display substrate, i.e., the LTPS+Oxide (abbreviated as LTPO) display substrate, and the advantages of both can be utilized to realize low frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display quality.
[0078] In an exemplary embodiment, taking the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 as an example, the operation process of the pixel driving circuit may include the following steps.
[0079] The first stage A1 is called a reset stage, in which the signal of the second scanning signal line S2 is a low level signal, and the signals of the first scanning signal line S1 and the light-emitting signal line E are high level signals. The signal of the second scanning signal line S2 is a low level signal, which turns on the first transistor T1, provides the first initial voltage of the first initial signal line INIT1 to the second node N2, initializes the storage capacitor C, and clears the original data voltage in the storage capacitor. The signals of the first scanning signal line S1 and the light-emitting signal line E are high level signals, which cuts off the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7, and the OLED does not emit light in this stage.
[0080] The second stage A2 is called a data writing stage or threshold compensation stage, in which the signal of the first scanning signal line S1 is a low level signal, the signals of the second scanning signal line S2 and the light emission signal line E are high level signals, and the data signal line D outputs a data voltage. In this stage, the second end of the storage capacitor C is low level, so the third transistor T3 is turned on. The signal of the first scanning signal line S1 is a low level signal, which turns on the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4 and the seventh transistor T7. With the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 turned on, the data voltage output from the data signal line D is provided to the second node N2 via the first node N1, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3 and the turned-on second transistor T2, and the difference between the data voltage output from the data signal line D and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is stored in the storage capacitor C. The voltage of the second end (second node N2) of the storage capacitor C is Vd-|Vth|, where Vd is the data voltage output from the data signal line D, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. When the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, the second initial voltage of the second initial signal line INIT2 is provided to the first pole of the OLED, which initializes (resets) the first pole of the OLED, clears the voltage previously stored therein, completes the initialization, and ensures that the OLED does not emit light. When the signal of the second scanning signal line S2 is a high level signal, the first transistor T1 is cut off. When the signal of the emission signal line E is a high level signal, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are cut off.
[0081] The third stage A3 is called a light-emitting stage, in which the signal of the light-emitting signal line E is a low-level signal, and the signals of the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2 are high-level signals. The signal of the light-emitting signal line E is a low-level signal, which turns on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6, and the power supply voltage output from the first power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first pole of the OLED through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the third transistor T3 and the sixth transistor T6, thereby driving the OLED to emit light.
[0082] In the driving process of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its gate electrode and the first electrode. Since the voltage of the second node N2 is Vd-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is expressed by the following formula. I=K*(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K*[Vdd-Vd] 2 In the formula, I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, i.e., the driving current for driving the OLED, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vd is the data voltage output from the data signal line D, and Vdd is the data voltage output from the first power supply line VDD.
[0083] With the development of OLED display technology, consumers' requirements for the display effect of display products are getting higher and higher, and extremely narrow frames have become a new trend in the development of display products, so narrowing the frame and even frameless design are increasingly being attached to the design of OLED display products. In a display substrate, the binding area generally includes a fan-out area, a bend area, a driving chip area, and a binding pin area, which are sequentially arranged along the direction away from the display area. Because the width of the binding area is smaller than the width of the display area, the signal lines of the integrated circuit and the binding pads in the binding area need to be introduced into the relatively wide display area through the fan-out area in a fan-out wiring manner. The larger the difference in width between the display area and the binding area, the more oblique fan-out lines will be in the fan-shaped area, and the greater the distance between the driving chip area and the display area, so the occupied space of the fan-shaped area is large, and the difficulty of designing the narrow width of the lower frame is high, and the lower frame is always maintained at about 2.0 mm. In another display substrate, a frame power lead is usually installed in the frame area, and the frame power lead is configured to continuously provide and transmit a low-voltage power signal. In order to reduce the voltage drop of the low-voltage power signal, the width of the frame power lead is large, which results in large widths of the frames on the left and right sides of the display device.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first conductive layer may be referred to as a first gate metal (GATE1) layer.
[0197] In an exemplary embodiment, the first conductive layer pattern of each circuit unit in the display area includes at least a first scanning signal line 21, a second scanning signal line 22, a third scanning signal line 23, a light emission control line 24, and a first plate 25 of a storage capacitor.
[0198] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first plate 25 of the storage capacitor may be rectangular, with chamfers at the corners of the rectangle. There is an overlapping area between the orthogonal projection of the first plate 25 at the base and the orthogonal projection at the base of the third active layer of the third transistor T3. In an exemplary embodiment, the first plate 25 may simultaneously be one plate of the storage capacitor and the gate electrode of the third transistor T3.
[0199] In an exemplary embodiment, the first scanning signal line 21, the second scanning signal line 22, the third scanning signal line 23 and the light emission control line 24 may have a linear shape with a main portion extending along the first direction X. The first scanning signal line 21 and the second scanning signal line 22 may be located on opposite sides of the first electrode plate 25 of the circuit unit in the second direction Y, the second scanning signal line 22 may be located on the side of the first scanning signal line 21 of the circuit unit that is away from the first electrode plate 25, the third scanning signal line 23 and the light emission control line 24 may be located on the side of the first electrode plate 25 of the circuit unit in the second direction Y, and the third scanning signal line 23 may be located on the side of the light emission control line 24 of the circuit unit that is away from the first electrode plate 25.
[0200] In an exemplary embodiment, the first scanning signal line 21 may be provided with a gate block 21-1 protruding toward the second scanning signal line 22, and the area where the first scanning signal line 21 and the gate block 21-1 overlap with the second active layer can serve as the gate electrode of the second transistor T2 to form a second transistor T2 with a double gate structure.
[0201] In an exemplary embodiment, the overlapping area between the second scanning signal line 22 and the first active layer can be the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 of the double-gate structure.

[0205] In an exemplary embodiment, the first conductive layer pattern of the lead area in the binding region may include at least a plurality of first lead electrodes 210 .
[0206] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lead electrode 210 may have an elongated shape extending along the second direction Y, and the first lead electrode 210 is configured to be connected to the data signal lines of the odd-numbered unit rows to be formed subsequently.
[0207] The lead area shown in Fig. 18 is the first conductive layer pattern of the third region in the display region, and therefore has only the first lead electrodes connected to the data signal lines of the odd-numbered unit columns. As for the second region in the display region, since a second connection line is subsequently formed, the first conductive layer pattern of the second region may further include a fifth lead electrode, and the fifth lead electrode is set to be connected to the subsequently formed second connection line via a sixth lead electrode. Therefore, the second region includes not only a plurality of first lead electrodes, but also a plurality of fifth lead electrodes, and the number of lead electrodes in the second region is different from the number of lead electrodes in the third region.
[0208] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth lead electrode and the first lead electrode may have substantially the same structure.
[0209] In an exemplary embodiment, the first conductive layer pattern in the binding area may further include a plurality of first lead-out lines (not shown), which may be straight or bent in shape, with first ends of the plurality of first lead-out lines connected to the first lead electrode 210 and the fifth lead electrode, and second ends of the plurality of first lead-out lines extending along a direction away from the display area to a folding area of the binding area.
[0210] In an exemplary embodiment, after forming the first conductive layer pattern, the first conductive layer is used as a mask to convert the semiconductor layer into a conductor. The channel regions of the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 are formed in the semiconductor layer in the area blocked by the first conductive layer. The semiconductor layer in the area not blocked by the first conductive layer is converted into a conductor, that is, the first area and the second area of the first active layer to the seventh active layer are all converted into a conductor.
[0211] (3) Form a second conductive layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 19 and 20, forming the second conductive layer pattern may include sequentially depositing a third insulating thin film and a second conductive thin film on the base on which the pattern is formed, and patterning the second conductive thin film by a patterning process to form a third insulating layer covering the first conductive layer, and a second conductive layer pattern disposed on the third insulating layer, where Figure 19 is an enlarged view of the E0 area in Figure 11, and Figure 20 is an enlarged view of the F area in Figure 11. In an exemplary embodiment, the second conductive layer may be referred to as a second gate metal (GATE2) layer.
[0212] In an exemplary embodiment, the second conductive layer pattern of each circuit unit in the display area includes at least a first initial signal line 31 , a second initial signal line 32 , a second plate of the storage capacitor 33 , a plate connection line 34 and a shield electrode 35 .
[0213] In an exemplary embodiment, the first initial signal line 31 and the second initial signal line 32 may have a linear shape whose main body portion can extend along the first direction X. The first initial signal line 31 may be located between the first scanning signal line 21 and the second scanning signal line 22 of the circuit unit, and the second initial signal line 32 may be located on the side of the third scanning signal line 23 of the circuit unit away from the light emission control line 24.
[0214] In an exemplary embodiment, the contour shape of the second plate 33 may be rectangular, and the corners of the rectangle may be chamfered. There is an overlapping area between the orthogonal projection at the base of the second plate 33 and the orthogonal projection at the base of the first plate 25. The second plate 33 is the other plate of the storage capacitor and is located between the first scanning signal line 21 and the emission control line 24 of the circuit unit. The first plate 25 and the second plate 33 constitute the storage capacitor of the pixel driving circuit.
[0215] In an exemplary embodiment, the plate connection line 34 may be disposed on the side of the second plate 33 in the first direction X or the opposite direction of the first direction X. The first end of the plate connection line 34 is connected to the second plate 33 of the circuit unit, and the second end of the plate connection line 34 extends along the first direction X or the opposite direction of the first direction X and then connected to the second plate 33 of the adjacent circuit unit, so that the second plates of the adjacent circuit units in one unit row are connected to each other. In an exemplary embodiment, the second plates of the multiple circuit units in one unit row can be connected to each other through the plate connection line to form an integrated structure. The second plate of the integrated structure can be multiplexed as a power signal connection line. Thereby, the multiple second plates in one unit row have the same potential, which contributes to improving the uniformity of the panel, avoiding display defects of the display substrate, and ensuring the display effect of the display substrate.
[0216] In an exemplary embodiment, an opening 36 is provided in the second plate 33, and the opening 36 may be located in the middle of the second plate 33, and the opening 36 may be rectangular, so that the second plate 33 forms a ring-shaped structure. The opening 36 exposes the third insulating layer covering the first plate 25, and the orthogonal projection of the first plate 25 at the base includes the orthogonal projection of the opening 36 at the base. In an exemplary embodiment, the opening 36 is configured to accommodate a first via to be formed subsequently. The first via is located in the opening 36 to expose the first plate 25, so that the second pole of the first transistor T1 to be formed subsequently is connected to the first plate 25.
[0217] In an exemplary embodiment, the second electrode plate 33 further includes a protrusion 37, which may be disposed at a corner of the second electrode plate 33 close to the fourth active layer and connected to the second electrode plate 33. The orthogonal projection of the protrusion 37 at the base and the orthogonal projection of the first area of the third active layer, the second area of the fourth active layer, and the second area of the fifth active layer at the base at least partially overlap each other. Since the second electrode plate 33 is connected to a first power line to be formed later, the protrusion 37 is configured to cut off the connection point of the first area of the third active layer, the second area of the fourth active layer, and the second area of the fifth active layer (i.e., the first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit), thereby preventing the potential of the first node N1 from being influenced from the outside and improving the display effect.
[0218] In an exemplary embodiment, the convex portion 37 may include a first convex portion connected to an edge portion of the second plate 33 on the side of the first direction X, and a second convex portion connected to an edge portion of the second plate 33 on the side of the second direction Y, and the first convex portion and the second convex portion are connected to each other at one end that is adjacent to each other.
[0219] In an exemplary embodiment, the shield electrode 35 may be located on a side of the first initial signal line 31 close to the first scanning signal line 21, and connected to the first initial signal line 31. The orthogonal projection at the base of the shield electrode 35 and the orthogonal projection at the base of the second active layer between the two gate electrodes of the second transistor T2 at least partially overlap. The shield electrode 35 is configured to block the influence of the data voltage jump on the key node, so as to prevent the data voltage jump from affecting the potential of the key node of the pixel driving circuit, and improve the display effect.
[0220] In an exemplary embodiment, the second conductive layer pattern in regions E1, E2, E3, and E4 of FIG. 11 is substantially identical to the second conductive layer pattern in region E0.
[0221] In an exemplary embodiment, the second conductive layer pattern of the lead area in the binding region may include at least a plurality of second lead electrodes 220 .
[0222] In an exemplary embodiment, the second lead electrode 220 may have an elongated shape extending along the second direction Y, and the second lead electrode 220 is configured to be connected to the data signal lines of the even-numbered unit rows formed subsequently.
[0223] The lead area shown in Fig. 20 is the second conductive layer pattern of the third region in the display region, and therefore has only the second lead electrodes connected to the data signal lines of the even-numbered unit columns. Since the second connection line is subsequently formed for the second region in the display region, the second conductive layer pattern of the second region may further include a fifth lead electrode, and the fifth lead electrode is set to be connected to the subsequently formed second connection line via a sixth lead electrode. Therefore, the second region includes not only a plurality of second lead electrodes, but also a plurality of fifth lead electrodes, and the number of lead electrodes in the second region is different from the number of lead electrodes in the third region.
[0224] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth lead electrode connected to the subsequently formed second connecting line may be disposed on the first conductive layer, or may be disposed on the second conductive layer, or may be disposed on the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer according to odd-numbered unit columns and even-numbered unit columns, respectively, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0310] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first power line 51 may be a broken line whose main body extends along the second direction Y. On the one hand, the first power line 51 is connected to the second connection electrode 42 through the 21st via V21 in the display area, and on the other hand, the first power line 51 extends to the lead area and then is connected to the binding high voltage electrode 260 through the 33rd via V33 in the lead area. Since the second connection electrode 42 is respectively connected to the second plate and the first area of the fifth active layer through the vias, the first power line 51 writes a power signal to the first pole of the fifth transistor T5, and the second plate of the storage capacitor and the first power line 51 have the same potential. Since the binding high voltage electrode 260 is connected to the binding high voltage line 250, the binding high voltage line 250 provides a high level signal to the first power line 51 through the binding high voltage electrode 260.

[0314] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the data signal line 60 may be a straight line whose main body portion extends along the second direction Y. On the one hand, the data signal line 60 is connected to the fourth connection electrode 44 through the 22nd via V22 in the display area, and on the other hand, after the data signal line 60 extends to the lead area, the data signal line 60 of the odd-numbered unit column is connected to the third lead electrode 230 through the 31st via V31, and the data signal line 60 of the even-numbered unit column is connected to the fourth lead electrode 240 through the 32nd via V32. Since the fourth connection electrode 44 is connected to the first area of the fourth active layer through a via, it is possible for the data signal line 60 to write a data signal to the first pole of the fourth transistor T4.

The fourth lead electrode 240 is connected to the second lead electrode 220 through a via, and the second lead electrode 220 is connected to the second lead line, thereby realizing a connection between the data signal line 60 of the even-numbered unit column and the second lead line located in the second conductive layer (GATE2).

In the present disclosure, by providing multiple lead lines in two conductive layers, the width of the lead lines can be increased while avoiding short circuits, thereby improving the reliability of data transmission.
[0319] In an exemplary embodiment, the multiple first lead-out lines may be connected to correspond to data signal lines of even-numbered unit columns, and the multiple second lead-out lines may be connected to correspond to data signal lines of odd-numbered unit columns, although the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In an exemplary embodiment, the anode connecting electrode 52 is set to be connected to an anode to be formed subsequently. Since the fifth connecting electrode 45 is connected to the second area of the sixth active layer (which is also the second area of the seventh active layer) through a via, it is realized that the anode is connected to the second pole of the sixth transistor T6 (which is also the second pole of the seventh transistor T7) through the anode connecting electrode 52 and the fifth connecting electrode 45.

In the present disclosure, the power wiring having the net-like interconnection structure is provided, and the power wirings in the multiple unit rows and multiple unit columns have the same potential, thereby effectively reducing the resistance of the power wiring and reducing the voltage drop in transmitting the low-voltage signal, as well as effectively improving the uniformity of the low-voltage signal on the display substrate, effectively improving the display uniformity, and improving the display quality and display effect.

[0354] In an exemplary embodiment, when subsequently forming the anode pattern, the orthogonal projections of the first break opening DF1 and the second break opening DF2 at the base do not overlap with the orthogonal projections of the anode at the base, i.e., the first break opening DF1 and the second break opening DF2 are both located outside the coverage area of the anode.
[0355] Up to this point, the fabrication of the driving structure layer on the base is completed. In a plane parallel to the display substrate, the driving structure layer may include a plurality of circuit units. Each circuit unit may include a pixel driving circuit, and a first scanning signal line, a second scanning signal line, a third scanning signal line, a light emission control line, a data signal line, a first power line, a first initial signal line, and a second initial signal line connected to the pixel driving circuit.

[0356] In an exemplary embodiment, the base may be a flexible base or a rigid base. The rigid base may be, but is not limited to, one or more of glass and quartz. The flexible base may be, but is not limited to, one or more of polyethylene terephthalate, ethylene terephthalate, polyether ether ketone, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyaryl ester, polyarylate, polyimide, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and textile fiber. In an exemplary embodiment, the flexible base includes a first flexible material layer, a first inorganic material layer, a semiconductor layer, a second flexible material layer, and a second inorganic material layer, which are stacked together.

[0359] In the display substrate, the display area includes a wiring area where data connection lines are provided and a normal area where no data connection lines are provided. When exposed to external light, the data connection lines in the wiring area have high reflectivity, but other metal lines in the normal area have low reflectivity, so that the appearance of the normal area and the appearance of the wiring area are obviously different, which causes the display substrate to have a problem of poor appearance, especially when the screen is off or a low gray scale is displayed.

In the present disclosure, a virtual electrode is provided in the display area, and the shape and connection structure of the virtual electrode are substantially the same as those of the data connection electrode, the fan-out connection electrode and the power connection electrode, so that different positions of the display substrate have substantially the same relay connection structure, and the appearance defect of the display substrate can be further avoided.

[0368] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may have a high frequency display mode and a low frequency display mode. Figure 44 is an operation timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, showing the operation timing of the low frequency display mode by taking the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 as an example where they are all P-type transistors. As shown in Figure 44, in the low frequency display mode, the operation timing of the pixel driving circuit may include a step timing of refreshing a frame and a step timing of holding a frame.
[0369] In an exemplary embodiment, in the step of refreshing a frame, the operation process of the pixel driving circuit may include the following:
[0370] In the reset period of the frame refreshing stage, the signal of the second scanning signal line S2 turns on the first transistor T1, provides the first initial voltage of the first initial signal line INIT1 to the second node N2, initializes the storage capacitor C, and clears the original data voltage in the storage capacitor. The signals of the first scanning signal line S1, the third scanning signal line S3, and the emission signal line E turn off the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7.
[0371] In the data write period of the frame refresh step, the signals of the first scan signal line S1 and the third scan signal line S3 turn on the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the seventh transistor T7. During this period, the second end of the storage capacitor C is at a low level, so the third transistor T3 turns on, and the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 turn on, and thus the data voltage output from the data signal line D is provided to the second end of the storage capacitor C through the turned-on third transistor T3 and the turned-on second transistor T2. By turning on the seventh transistor T7, the second initial voltage of the second initial signal line INIT2 is provided to the first pole of the OLED, which initializes (resets) the first pole of the OLED, clears the voltage previously stored therein, and completes the initialization. The signals of the second scan signal line S3 and the light-emitting signal line E turn off the first transistor T1, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6.
[0372] In the emission period of the frame refreshing step, the signal of the emission signal line E turns on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6, and the power supply voltage output from the first power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the OLED via the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the third transistor T3, and the sixth transistor T6, thereby driving the OLED to emit light.
[0373] In an exemplary embodiment, in the stage of holding a frame, the operation process of the pixel driving circuit may include the following:
[0374] In the reset period of the frame holding stage, the signals of the first scanning signal line S1, the second scanning signal line S2, the third scanning signal line S3, and the light emission signal line E turn off the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7.
[0375] In the data write period of the frame holding step, the signal of the third scan signal line S3 turns on the fourth transistor T4 and the seventh transistor T7. When the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, the data voltage output from the data signal line D is input to the first terminal of the third transistor T3. When the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, the second initial voltage of the second initial signal line INIT2 is provided to the first terminal of the OLED, which initializes (resets) the first terminal of the OLED, clears the voltage previously stored therein, and completes the initialization.
[0376] In the emission period of the frame holding step, the signal of the emission signal line E turns on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6, and the power supply voltage output from the first power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the OLED via the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the third transistor T3, and the sixth transistor T6, thereby driving the OLED to emit light.
[0377] In an exemplary embodiment, the first scanning signal line S1 turns on the second transistor T2 only in the frame refreshing step, and the third scanning signal line S3 turns on the fourth transistor T4 in the frame refreshing step and the frame holding step, respectively. Therefore, in the data writing step of the frame holding step, a data voltage can be input to the first end of the third transistor T3, and the effect on the OLED emission brightness caused by the voltage jump of the first node N1 at the moment of entering the emission step (the fifth transistor T5 is turned on) can be weakened.
