[0028] The drawings are intended to facilitate a 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 shape and size of one or more components in the drawings are intended only to provide a rough description of the present disclosure and do not reflect the true proportions.

[0029] The following describes in detail the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings. The embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms. Those skilled in the art can easily understand that the method and content can be converted into other forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to only those described in the following embodiments. Unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments in the present disclosure can be arbitrarily combined.

[0030] In the drawings, for clarity, the size of one or more components, the thickness of layers, or the area thereof may be exaggerated. 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. Furthermore, the drawings schematically show ideal examples, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes, numerical values, etc. shown in the drawings.

[0031] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" are used to avoid confusion of elements and are not intended to limit the quantity. In this disclosure, "plurality" means two or more.

[0032] For convenience, the present specification uses terms indicating orientations or positional relationships, such as "center," "top," "bottom," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," to describe the positional relationships of components with reference to the drawings. This is merely to facilitate and simplify the description of the specification, and does not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be configured, or operate in a specific orientation, and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. The positional relationships of components may be changed as appropriate depending on the orientation of the components described. Therefore, the terms used in the description are not limited to those used in the description, and may be changed as appropriate depending on the situation.

[0033] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "attached," "coupled," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, or may be a mechanical connection or connection. They may be a direct connection, an indirect connection via middleware, or internal communication between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the meaning of the above terms in this disclosure depending on the context.

[0034] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes cases where components are connected via an element having some kind of electrical function. The "element having some kind of electrical function" is not particularly limited as long as it allows transmission of an electrical signal between the connected components. Examples of the "element having some kind of electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having multiple functions.

[0035] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element including at least three terminals: a gate, a drain, and a source. A transistor has a channel region between the drain (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain, channel region, and source. In this specification, a channel region refers to a region through which current mainly flows.

[0036] In this specification, the first pole may be the drain and the second pole may be the source, or the first pole may be the source and the second pole may be the drain. The functions of "source" and "drain" may be interchanged, such as when using transistors with reversed polarity or when the direction of current flow changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in this specification, "source" and "drain" may be interchanged. The gate may also be referred to as the control pole.

[0037] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state in which the angle between two lines is between -10° and 10°, inclusive, and also includes a state in which the angle is between -5° and 5°, inclusive. "Perpendicular" refers to a state in which the angle between two lines is between 80° and 100°, inclusive, and also includes a state in which the angle is between 85° and 95°, inclusive.

[0038] In this specification, the terms "circle, ellipse, triangle, rectangle, trapezoid, pentagon, hexagon, etc." are not used in the strict sense, and the shape may be an approximate circle, an approximate ellipse, an approximate triangle, an approximate rectangle, an approximate trapezoid, an approximate pentagon, an approximate hexagon, etc., and some small deformations due to tolerances may exist, for example, chamfers, arc edges, deformations, etc.

[0039] In this disclosure, the terms "about" and "approximately" do not strictly limit the scope of the invention, but rather refer to the scope of acceptable process or measurement error. In this disclosure, "almost the same" refers to the case where the difference in the numerical value is within 10%.

[0040] In the present disclosure, "A extends along direction B" means that A may include a main body portion and a secondary portion connected to the main body portion, the main body portion being a line, line segment, or strap-like body, the main body portion extending along direction B, and the length of the main body portion extending along direction B being longer than the length of the secondary portion extending along other directions. In the present disclosure, "A extends along direction B" always means "the main body portion of A extends in direction B."

[0041] With the advancement of the information society, there is an increasing demand for display devices that can display a variety of images. For example, there is an increasing demand for medium- to large-sized display devices and display devices with high resolution and high refresh rates. Medium- to large-sized display devices with high resolution and high refresh rates have issues such as an increased data load and short pixel charging times.

[0042] This embodiment provides a display substrate, including a substrate, a plurality of data lines, a plurality of subpixels, a plurality of data lead-out lines, and at least one first compensation unit. The substrate includes a display area and a first bezel area located on one side of the display area. The plurality of data lines and the plurality of subpixels are located in the display area. The plurality of subpixels are electrically connected to the plurality of data lines. The plurality of data lead-out lines are located in the first bezel area and electrically connected to the plurality of data lines in the display area. The first compensation unit is located in the first bezel area and electrically connected to the at least one data lead-out line. The first compensation unit is configured to compensate for at least one of the resistance and capacitance of the data line electrically connected to the at least one data lead-out line.

[0043] The display substrate according to this embodiment uses the first compensation unit to compensate for at least one of the resistance and capacitance of the data lines, thereby improving the load matching of multiple data lines and ensuring display performance. Furthermore, the use of the first compensation unit allows the data load of a large display substrate to be verified using a small display substrate, thereby reducing development costs.

[0044] In some exemplary embodiments, the display substrate of this embodiment may be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a plasma display panel (PDP), or a field emission display (FED). However, this embodiment does not limit the type of the display substrate.

[0045] In some exemplary embodiments, the first compensation unit may include at least one of at least one first compensation resistor and at least one first compensation capacitor. The first compensation resistor may be configured to compensate for the resistance of a data line electrically connected to the at least one data lead-out line, and the first compensation capacitor may be configured to compensate for the capacitance of a data line electrically connected to the at least one data lead-out line. For example, the first compensation unit may include at least one first compensation resistor, or the first compensation unit may include at least one first compensation capacitor, or the first compensation unit may include at least one first compensation resistor and at least one first compensation capacitor. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, at least one first compensation resistor included in the first compensation unit may be electrically connected in series to the data lead-out line. For example, the first compensation resistor may include a resistive wiring, which may be located in the first gate metal layer or the second gate metal layer, or the first gate metal layer and the second gate metal layer may be located in different layers. In some examples, to provide a larger compensation resistance, the orthogonal projection of the resistive wiring of the first compensation unit on the substrate may be a serpentine wiring. A serpentine wiring is a type of bent wiring. For example, one end of the wiring extends a distance in one direction, then bends and detours, extends a distance in the opposite direction, bends and detours again, and extends in the same direction, repeatedly bending and detouring in this manner to form a serpentine wiring. Alternatively, the orthogonal projection of the resistive wiring of the first compensation unit on the substrate may be a straight wiring. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, the first compensation capacitor included in the first compensation unit may include a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode of the first compensation capacitor may be electrically connected to the at least one first compensation resistor, and the second electrode of the first compensation capacitor may be electrically connected to ground. For example, the second electrode of the at least one first compensation capacitor may have an integral structure.

[0048] In some exemplary embodiments, the first bezel region may include a first fan-out region located on one side of the display area. At least one isolation dam may be provided in the first fan-out region. The data lead-out lines may include a first data fan-out line and a second data fan-out line located in the first fan-out region and electrically connected to each other. The second data fan-out line may be located on a side of the first data fan-out line away from the display area. The second data fan-out line may be located on a side of the first data fan-out line closer to the substrate. The connection position of the first data fan-out line and the second data fan-out line may be located on a side of the isolation dam closer to the display area, and the orthogonal projection of the connection position on the substrate and the orthogonal projection of the isolation dam on the substrate do not overlap. In this example, the first data fan-out line and the second data fan-out line are transferred in the first fan-out region, and the connection position of both is located on a side of the isolation dam closer to the display area, thereby preventing water vapor from being introduced into the display area.

[0049] The display substrate of this embodiment will be described below with some examples. In the following exemplary embodiments, the display substrate will be described as an OLED display substrate. Since the number of data lines in the display area and data lead-out lines in the first bezel area is generally large, the drawings only show some of the data lines and data lead-out lines or only show the positions of the first bezel area, and do not limit the number of data lines and data lead-out lines.

[0050] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. In some examples, as shown in FIG. 1, the display substrate according to this embodiment may include a display area AA and a bezel region located around the display area AA. The bezel region may include a first bezel region B1 located on one side of the display area AA and a second bezel region B2 located on the remaining side of the display area AA. The first bezel region B1 and the second bezel region B2 may be connected to each other and surround the display area AA. In some examples, the first bezel region B1 may be the bottom bezel of the display substrate, and the second bezel region B2 may be the top bezel, left bezel, and right bezel of the display substrate. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0051] 1, the display area AA may include a plurality of sub-pixels Px that form a pixel array, and the sub-pixels Px may be configured to display moving images or still images, and the display area AA may be referred to as an active area. In some examples, the display substrate may be a flexible substrate, and therefore, the display substrate may be deformable, such as by curling, bending, folding, or rolling up.

[0052] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 1 , the display area AA may further include a plurality of gate lines (not shown) and a plurality of data lines DL. The gate lines may extend along a first direction X, and the data lines DL may extend along a second direction Y. The first direction X may intersect with the second direction Y, for example, the first direction X may be perpendicular to the second direction Y. The orthogonal projections of the gate lines and the data lines DL on the substrate may intersect to form a plurality of subpixel regions, with one subpixel Px disposed in each subpixel region. The data lines DL may be electrically connected to the subpixels Px and configured to supply data signals to the subpixels Px. The gate lines may be electrically connected to the subpixels Px and configured to supply scanning signals to the subpixels Px.

[0053] In some examples, one pixel unit may include three subpixels, which are red, green, and blue subpixels, respectively. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto. In other examples, one pixel unit may include four subpixels, which are red, green, blue, and white subpixels, respectively.

[0054] In some examples, the shape of the subpixel may be rectangular, rhombic, pentagonal, or hexagonal. When one pixel unit includes three subpixels, the three subpixels may be arranged in a horizontal parallel arrangement, a vertical parallel arrangement, a square arrangement, or the like. When one pixel unit includes four subpixels, the four subpixels may be arranged in a horizontal parallel arrangement, a vertical parallel arrangement, or a square arrangement. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0055] In some examples, at least one subpixel may include a pixel circuit and a light-emitting element. The pixel circuit may be configured to drive the connected light-emitting element. For example, the pixel circuit may be configured to provide a drive current to drive the light-emitting element to emit light. The pixel circuit may include multiple transistors and at least one capacitor, and may have, for example, a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C, or 8T1C structure. In the above circuit configurations, T refers to a thin-film transistor, C refers to a capacitor, and the number before T represents the number of thin-film transistors in the circuit, and the number before C represents the number of capacitors in the circuit.

[0056] In some examples, the multiple transistors in the pixel circuit may be P-type transistors or N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistors in the pixel circuit simplifies the process flow, reduces the process difficulty of the display substrate, and improves product yield. In other examples, the multiple transistors in the pixel circuit may include P-type transistors and N-type transistors.

[0057] In some examples, the multiple transistors in the pixel circuit may be low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors, oxide thin-film transistors, or both. The active layer of the low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor is made of low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS), and the active layer of the oxide thin-film transistor is made of oxide semiconductor (oxide). The low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor has advantages such as high mobility and fast charging, while the oxide thin-film transistor has advantages such as low leakage current. By integrating the low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor and the oxide thin-film transistor on a single display substrate, i.e., an LTPS+Oxide (LTPO) display substrate, the advantages of both can be utilized, enabling low-frequency operation, reducing power consumption, and improving display quality.

[0058] In some examples, the light-emitting element may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), and the light-emitting element may emit red light, green light, blue light, white light, or the like under the driving of a corresponding pixel circuit. The light-emitting color of the light-emitting element may be determined as needed. The light-emitting element may include an anode, a cathode, and an organic light-emitting layer located between the anode and the cathode. The anode of the light-emitting element may be electrically connected to the corresponding pixel circuit. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0059] 2 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel circuit according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, the pixel circuit according to the present embodiment may have an 8T1C structure, i.e., includes first transistor T1 to eighth transistor T8 and a storage capacitor Cst.

[0060] In some examples, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 of the pixel circuit may be transistors of a first type, such as P-type transistors, and the eighth transistor T8 may be a transistor of a second type, such as an N-type transistor. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the multiple transistors of the first pixel circuit may all be P-type transistors or all be N-type transistors.

[0061] In some examples, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 of the pixel circuit may be low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistors, and the eighth transistor T8 of the pixel circuit may be an oxide thin film transistor, but this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0062] 2, the pixel circuit may be electrically connected to a first scan line GL1, a second scan line GL2, a data line DL, a first power supply line PL1, a second power supply line PL2, an emission control line EML, a first initial signal line INIT1, a second initial signal line INIT2, a first reset control line RST1, and a second reset control line RST2. In some examples, the first power supply line PL1 may be configured to supply a constant first voltage signal VDD to the pixel circuit, and the second power supply line PL2 may be configured to supply a constant second voltage signal VSS to the pixel circuit, where the first voltage signal VDD is greater than the second voltage signal VSS.

[0063] In some examples, in the pixel circuits in the nth row, the first reset control line RST1 may be connected to the first scan line GL1 of the pixel circuits in the (n-1)th row to input the first scan signal SCAN1(n-1), i.e., the first reset control signal RESET1(n) is the same as the first scan signal SCAN1(n-1). The second reset control line RST2 may be connected to the first reset control line RST1 of the pixel circuits in the (n+1)th row to input the first scan signal SCAN1(n), i.e., the second reset control signal RESET2(n) is the same as the first scan signal SCAN1(n). In this way, the number of signal lines on the display substrate can be reduced, and a narrower frame can be achieved on the display substrate.

[0064] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, the gate of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the first node N1, the first electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the second electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the third node N3.

The gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first scan line GL1, the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the third node N3. The gate of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the emission control line EML, the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first power line PL1, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second node N2. The gate of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the emission control line EML, the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4. The gate of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first reset control line RST1, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first initial signal line INIT1, and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5. The gate of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second reset control line RST2, the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second initial signal line INIT2, and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4. The gate of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the second scan line GL2, the first electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5, and the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the first node N1. A first electrode of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the first node N1, and a second electrode of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the first power line PL1.

[0065] In this example, the first node N1 is the connection point between the storage capacitor Cst, the eighth transistor T8, and the third transistor T3, the second node N2 is the connection point between the fifth transistor T5, the fourth transistor T4, and the third transistor T3, the third node N3 is the connection point between the third transistor T3, the second transistor T2, and the sixth transistor T6, the fourth node N4 is the connection point between the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, and the light-emitting element EL, and the fifth node N5 is the connection point between the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the eighth transistor T8.

[0066] Figure 3 is an operation timing chart of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 2. In some examples, as shown in Figure 3, the operation process of the pixel circuit within one frame display period may include a first stage S1, a second stage S2, and a third stage S3. In this example, the second reset control signal received by the pixel circuits in one row may be the same as the first scan signal.

[0067] The first stage S1 is called the reset stage. The first reset control signal RESET1 supplied from the first reset control line RST1 is a low-level signal, turning on the first transistor T1. The second scan signal SCAN2 supplied from the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, turning on the eighth transistor T8. The first initial signal supplied from the first initial signal line INIT1 is supplied to the fifth node N5 and the first node N1, initializing the first node N1 and clearing the original data voltage of the storage capacitor Cst. The first scan signal SCAN1 supplied from the first scan line GL1 is a high-level signal, and the light-emitting control signal EM supplied from the light-emitting control line EML is a high-level signal, turning off the fourth transistor T4, the second transistor T2, the seventh transistor T7, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6. In this stage, the light-emitting element EL does not emit light.

[0068] The second stage S2 is called a data writing stage or threshold correction stage. The first scanning signal SCAN1 supplied from the first scanning line GL1 is a low-level signal, the second scanning signal SCAN2 supplied from the second scanning line GL2, the first reset control signal RESET1 supplied from the first reset control line RST1, and the light-emitting control signal EM supplied from the light-emitting control line EML are all high-level signals, and the data line DL outputs a data signal. In this stage, the first electrode of the storage capacitor Cst is low, so the third transistor T3 is turned on. The first scan signal SCAN1 is a low-level signal, turning on the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the seventh transistor T7. As a result, the data voltage Vdata output from the data line DL is supplied to the first node N1 via the second node N2, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, the turned-on second transistor T2, the fifth node N5, and the turned-on eighth transistor T8. The difference between the data voltage Vdata output from the data line DL and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the storage capacitor Cst. The voltage of the first electrode (i.e., the first node N1) of the storage capacitor Cst is Vdata-|Vth|, where Vdata is the data voltage output from the data line DL and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the second initial signal supplied from the second initial signal line INIT2 is supplied to the fourth node N4 to initialize (reset) the anode of the light-emitting element EL and clear the pre-stored voltage therein, completing the initialization and ensuring that the light-emitting element EL does not emit light. The first reset control signal RESET1 supplied from the first reset control line RST1 is a high-level signal, cutting off the first transistor T1. The light-emitting control signal EM supplied from the light-emitting control line EML is a high-level signal, cutting off the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6.

[0069] The third stage S3 is called the light-emitting stage. The light-emitting control signal EM supplied from the light-emitting control line EML is a low-level signal, turning on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6. The second scan signal SCAN2 supplied from the second scan line GL2 is a low-level signal, turning off the eighth transistor T8. The first scan signal SCAN1 supplied from the first scan line GL1 and the first reset control signal RESET1 supplied from the first reset control line RST1 are high-level signals, turning off the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the seventh transistor T7, and the first transistor T1. The first voltage signal VDD output from the first power line PL1 supplies a driving voltage to the anode of the light-emitting element EL via the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the third transistor T3, and the sixth transistor T6, thereby driving the light-emitting element EL to emit light.

[0070] During the operation of the pixel circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 is determined by the voltage difference between its control pole and first pole. Since the voltage at the first node N1 is Vdata-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is given by the following formula:

[0071] I=K×(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K×[(VDD-Vdata+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K×[VDD-Vdata] 2

[0072] I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, i.e., the driving current that drives the light-emitting element, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the control pole and the first pole of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vdata is the data voltage output from the data line DL, and VDD is the first voltage signal output from the first power line PL1.

[0073] From the above equation, it can be seen that the current flowing through the light emitting element is independent of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, and therefore the pixel circuit of this embodiment can well compensate for the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3.

In some examples, the first insulating layer 101 to the seventh insulating layer 107 may be inorganic insulating layers, and the eighth insulating layer 108 to the tenth insulating layer 110 may be organic insulating layers, but this embodiment is not limited thereto.

In some examples, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the first semiconductor layer 12 of the display region may include active layers of multiple first-type transistors of multiple pixel circuits (e.g., the active layer T10 of the first transistor T1, the active layer T20 of the second transistor T2, the active layer T30 of the third transistor T3, the active layer T40 of the fourth transistor T4, the active layer T50 of the fifth transistor T5, the active layer T60 of the sixth transistor T6, and the active layer T70 of the seventh transistor T7). In this example, the first transistor T1 to the sixth transistor T6 of the pixel circuit in the current row and the seventh transistor T7 of the pixel circuit in the previous row are shown as examples. In some examples, the active layers T10 of the first transistor T1 to the active layer T70 of the seventh transistor T7 of one pixel circuit may be connected to each other in an integrated structure.

[0079] The material of the first semiconductor layer 12 may include, for example, polysilicon. The active layer of any transistor may include at least one channel region and multiple doped regions. The channel region may be undoped and have semiconducting properties. Multiple doped regions may be located on either side of the channel region and may be doped with impurities and therefore be conductive. The impurities may vary depending on the type of transistor. In some examples, the doped regions of the active layer may be interpreted as the source or drain electrodes of the transistor. Portions of the active layer between transistors may be interpreted as doped wiring and may be used to electrically connect the transistors.

[0080] In some examples, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the orthogonal projection of the light-shielding wiring 111 on the substrate can cover the orthogonal projection of the channel region of the active layer T30 of the third transistor T3 on the substrate, thereby protecting the third transistor T3 and preventing the external environment from affecting the performance of the third transistor T3.

In some examples, as shown in Figures 4 to 8, the first gate metal layer 13 of the display area may include gates of a plurality of first-type transistors of a plurality of pixel circuits (e.g., gate T11 of the first transistor T1, gate T21 of the second transistor T2, gate T31 of the third transistor T3, gate T41 of the fourth transistor T4, gate T51 of the fifth transistor T5, gate T61 of the sixth transistor T6, and gate T71 of the seventh transistor T7), first electrodes Cst-1 of storage capacitors Cst of the plurality of pixel circuits, and an emission control line EML.

As a result, if a momentary high voltage (e.g., 100V) occurs on the signal line due to accumulated positive charge, one of the "diodes" turns on and releases the positive charge in the wiring, while if a momentary low voltage (e.g., -100V) occurs on the wiring due to accumulated negative charge, another of the "diodes" turns on and releases the negative charge in the signal line.

In other examples, the second line segment 4112 may be an arc line segment, or the first line segment 4111 may be an arc line segment, or both the first line segment 4111 and the second line segment 4112 may be arc line segments. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto. In other examples, the resistive wiring may be straight wiring. In this example, the length and shape of the resistive wiring of the first compensating resistor may be determined according to the magnitude of the resistance that needs to be compensated.

FIG. 38 is a local schematic view of the first fan-out region after the first gate metal layer of FIG. 37 has been formed. FIG. 39 is a local schematic view of the first fan-out region after the second gate metal layer of FIG. 37 has been formed. FIG. 40 is a local schematic view of the first fan-out region after the third gate metal layer of FIG. 37 has been formed. FIG. 41 is a local schematic view of the first fan-out region after the sixth insulating layer of FIG. 37 has been formed. FIG. 37 is a local schematic view of the first fan-out region after the first source-drain metal layer has been formed.

[0123] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 37, a plurality of first compensation capacitors C1 electrically connected to each of a plurality of first compensation resistors R1 may be sequentially arranged along the first direction X. As shown in FIG. 38, the first gate metal layer in the first fan-out region may further include a first plate 412a of the first compensation capacitor C1. When the resistive wiring of the first compensation resistor is located in the first gate metal layer, the first compensation resistor may be integral with the first plate of the first compensation capacitor to which it is electrically connected. For example, the resistive wiring 411a of the first compensation resistor R1 may be integral with the first plate 412a of the first compensation capacitor C1 to which it is electrically connected.

[0124] 39, the second gate metal layer in the first fan-out region may further include a second plate 412b of the first compensation capacitor C1. An orthogonal projection of the second plate 412b of the first compensation capacitor C1 on the substrate may overlap with an orthogonal projection of the first plate 412a on the substrate. In some examples, the second plates 412b of the multiple first compensation capacitors C1 may be integral, and a first opening 4120 may be formed at a connection position between adjacent second plates 412b. The orthogonal projection of the first opening 4120 on the substrate may not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the first plate 412a on the substrate. By forming the first opening 4120 in the integrally molded second plate, defects that occur during the manufacturing of large-area metal can be avoided.

[0125] 40, the third gate metal layer in the first fan-out region may include the third plate 412c of the first compensation capacitor C1. An orthogonal projection of the third plate 412c of the first compensation capacitor C1 on the substrate may overlap with an orthogonal projection of the second plate 412b and the first plate 412a on the substrate. An orthogonal projection of the third plate 412c on the substrate may not overlap with an orthogonal projection of the first opening 4120 on the substrate.

[0126] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 41 , the sixth insulating layer in the first fan-out region may further include multiple vias, such as vias V71 to V75. The sixth to third insulating layers in via V71 may be removed to expose the surface of the independently located first electrode plate 412a, and the sixth to third insulating layers in via V74 may be removed to expose the surface of the first electrode plate 412a integrated with the resistive wiring 411a of the first compensation resistor R1. The sixth to fourth insulating layers in via V72 may be removed to expose the surface of the resistive wiring 411b of the first compensation resistor R1. The sixth insulating layer in vias V73 and V75 may be removed to expose the surface of the third electrode plate 412c of the first compensation capacitor C1.

[0127] 37 , the first source-drain metal layer in the first fan-out region may further include a seventeenth connecting electrode 177 and an eighteenth connecting electrode 178. The seventeenth connecting electrode 177 may be electrically connected to the resistive wiring 411b of the first compensation resistor R1 located on the second gate metal layer through a via V72, to the first plate 412a of the separately placed first compensation capacitor C1 through a via V71, and to the third plate 412c through a via V73. The eighteenth connecting electrode 178 may be electrically connected to the resistive wiring 411a of the first compensation resistor R1 and the first plate 412a of the first compensation capacitor C1 through a via V74, and to the third plate 412c of the first compensation capacitor C1 through a via V75. In this example, the first plate 412a of one first compensation capacitor C1 may be electrically connected to the third plate 412c, thereby forming a first electrode of the first compensation capacitor C1, the first electrode being electrically connected to the first compensation resistor R1, and the second plate 412b of one first compensation capacitor C1 may be grounded as a second electrode. For example, the second plate 412b of the first compensation capacitor C1 may be electrically connected to the ground end of the second signal access area (second signal access area B17 shown in FIG. 22) via a ground connection line (ground connection line 61 shown in FIG. 22).

[0128] In this example, the three plates of the first compensation capacitor are arranged on the first to third gate metal layers, and the insulating layers between adjacent metal layers among the first to third gate metal layers are thin, ensuring the performance of the compensation capacitor. Furthermore, the second plates of the multiple second compensation capacitors are integrally formed, and may form a mesh structure, simplifying the manufacturing process and minimizing the space required.

FIG. 42 is a schematic view of the first fan-out region after forming the second source-drain metal layer.

[0130] In some examples, as shown in FIGS. 42 to 44 , the plurality of first data fan-out lines may include a plurality of first data fan-out lines of a first type 51 a and a plurality of first data fan-out lines of a second type 51 b. The first data fan-out lines of the first type 51 a and the first data fan-out lines of the second type 51 b may be spaced apart along the first direction X. The first data fan-out lines of the first type 51 a may be located closer to the substrate than the first data fan-out lines of the second type 51 b. For example, the first data fan-out lines of the first type 51 a may be located in a first source-drain metal layer, and the first data fan-out lines of the second type 51 b may be located in a second source-drain metal layer. The orthogonal projection of the first data fan-out lines of the first type 51 a on the substrate and the orthogonal projection of the first data fan-out lines of the second type 51 b on the substrate may not overlap.

[0131] In some examples, as shown in FIGS. 42 to 44 , the first compensation resistor R4 may include a resistive wiring 414a or 414b. The resistive wiring 414a may be located in the first gate metal layer, and the resistive wiring 414b may be located in the second gate metal layer. The resistive wiring 414a of one first compensation resistor R4 may be electrically connected to the first data fanout line 51a of the first type through two 82nd vias V82 arranged vertically next to each other. The resistive wiring 414b of the other first compensation resistor R4 may be electrically connected to the 19th connection electrode 179 through two 81st vias V81 arranged vertically next to each other. The 19th connection electrode 179 may be in the same layer as the first data fanout line 51a of the first type. The 19th connection electrode 179 may be electrically connected to the first data fanout line 51b of the second type through the 83rd via V83.

[0132] In this embodiment, the configuration of the first compensation resistors R2 and R3 may refer to the configuration of the first compensation resistors R1 and R4, the configuration of the first compensation capacitors C2 and C3 may refer to the configuration of the first compensation capacitor C1, and the connection relationship between the first compensation resistors and the first compensation capacitor may refer to the connection relationship between the first compensation resistor R1 and the first compensation capacitor C1, but this embodiment will not repeat this description.

[0133] 45 is a local enlarged view of region D4 in FIG. 24. FIG. 45 shows a schematic diagram of the connection between the first data fan-out line 51 and the second data fan-out line 52 in the first fan-out region. FIG. 46 is a local cross-sectional schematic view along the U-U' direction in FIG. 45. FIG. 47 is a local schematic view of the first fan-out region after the second gate metal layer in FIG. 45 has been formed. FIG. 48 is a local schematic view of the first fan-out region after the first source-drain metal layer in FIG. 45 has been formed.

[0134] In some examples, as shown in FIGS. 45 to 47, the plurality of first data fanout lines in the first fanout region are electrically connected to the plurality of second data fanout lines in one-to-one correspondence. The plurality of first data fanout lines may include a plurality of first data fanout lines 51a of a first type and a plurality of first data fanout lines 51b of a second type. The plurality of second data fanout lines may include a plurality of second data fanout lines 52a of a first type and a plurality of second data fanout lines 52b of a second type. The second data fanout lines 52a of the first type and the second data fanout lines 52b of the second type may be spaced apart from each other along the first direction X. The second data fanout lines 52a of the first type may be located closer to the substrate than the second data fanout lines 52b of the second type, and the orthogonal projection of the second data fanout lines 52a of the first type on the substrate may not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the second data fanout lines 52b of the second type on the substrate. For example, the second data fanout lines 52a of the first type may be located in a first gate metal layer, and the second data fanout lines 52b of the second type may be located in a second gate metal layer. In other examples, the second data fanout lines may be located in a third gate metal layer.

[0135] In some examples, as shown in FIGS. 45 to 47, a first data fanout line 51a of a first type located in the first source-drain metal layer may be electrically connected to a second data fanout line 52a of a first type located in the first gate metal layer through three vertically arranged vias V84. A twentieth connection electrode 180 located in the first source-drain metal layer may be electrically connected to a second data fanout line 52b of a second type located in the second gate metal layer through two vertically arranged vias V85. A first data fanout line 51b of a second type located in the second source-drain metal layer is electrically connected to the twentieth connection electrode 180 through a via V86, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the second data fanout line 52b of a second type and the first data fanout line 51b of a second type. This connection scheme in this example can avoid the need for excessively deep vias. However, this example is not limited to this. In some other examples, a first data fanout line of a first type may be electrically connected to a second data fanout line of a second type (e.g., via a connecting electrode), and a first data fanout line of a second type may be electrically connected to a second data fanout line of the first type (e.g., via a connecting electrode).

[0136] In some examples, the resistivity of the material of the first data fan-out line may be lower than the resistivity of the material of the second data fan-out line, thereby reducing the load on the data line. For example, the first data fan-out line may adopt a titanium (Ti) / aluminum (Al) / Ti stack structure, and the material of the second data fan-out line may be molybdenum (Mo).

[0137] In some examples, as shown in Figures 45 to 47, the connection position of the first data fan-out line 51a of the first type and the second data fan-out line 52a of the first type may be located on the side closer to the display area of ​​the first isolation dam DA1. The connection position of the first data fan-out line 51b of the second type and the second data fan-out line 52b may be located on the side closer to the display area of ​​the first isolation dam DA1. There may be an overlap between the orthogonal projection of the first data fan-out line 51a of the first type and the first data fan-out line 51b of the second type on the substrate and the orthogonal projection of the first isolation dam DA1 on the substrate, but there may be no overlap between the orthogonal projection of the second isolation dam DA2 on the substrate.

[0138] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 46 , the first isolation dam DA1 may include a first dam base DA11, a third dam base DA12, and a fifth dam base DA13, which are sequentially stacked. The second isolation dam DA2 may include a second dam base DA21, a fourth dam base DA22, and a sixth dam base DA23, which are sequentially stacked. The first dam base DA11 and the second dam base DA21 may be disposed on a ninth insulating layer 109, and the first to eighth insulating layers 101 to 108 may be disposed on the side of the ninth insulating layer 109 closer to the substrate 100. The first dam base DA11 and the second dam base DA21 may have the same layer structure as the tenth insulating layer. The third dam base DA12 and the fourth dam base DA22 may have the same layer structure as the pixel definition layer. The fifth dam base DA13 and the sixth dam base DA23 may have the same layer structure as the isolation pillar layer. In some examples, the heights of the first isolation dam DA1 and the second isolation dam DA2 may be approximately the same. In another example, the heights of the first isolation dam DA1 and the second isolation dam DA2 may be different, for example, the height of the second isolation dam DA2 may be higher than the height of the first isolation dam DA1. For example, the eighth insulating layer 108 or the ninth insulating layer 109 on the side of the first isolation dam DA1 closer to the substrate may be removed. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0139] In this example, the first data fan-out line is disposed in the first source-drain metal layer and the second source-drain metal layer, and the resistivity of the metal material of the first source-drain metal layer and the second source-drain metal layer is lower than that of the metal material of the first gate metal layer and the second gate metal layer, thereby reducing the resistivity of the first data fan-out line and the load on the data line. In this example, by transferring the first data fan-out line and the second data fan-out line on the side of the first isolation dam closer to the display area, it is possible to prevent water vapor from being introduced into the display area through the first source-drain metal layer and the second source-drain metal layer and corroding the light-emitting elements.

[0140] 24, the plurality of second data fan-out lines 52 may be electrically connected to a plurality of data folding lines 53 in the folding region B12. The plurality of data folding lines 53 may be located in a second source-drain metal layer. The plurality of data folding lines 53 may be electrically connected to a plurality of third data fan-out lines 54 in the second fan-out region B13. The plurality of third data fan-out lines 54 may include a plurality of third data fan-out lines of a first type and a plurality of third data fan-out lines of a second type, where the third data fan-out lines of the first type and the third data fan-out lines of the second type may be spaced apart, and the orthogonal projections of the third data fan-out lines of the first type on the substrate and the third data fan-out lines of the second type on the substrate may not overlap. For example, the third data fanout lines of the first type may be located in the first source-drain metal layer, and the third data fanout lines of the second type may be located in the second source-drain metal layer, thereby reducing the resistivity of the third data fanout lines and the load on the data lines. In other examples, the plurality of fourth data fanout lines 55 located within the third data fanout line B15 may include a plurality of fourth data fanout lines of the first type and a plurality of fourth data fanout lines of the second type, and the fourth data fanout lines of the first type and the fourth data fanout lines of the second type may be spaced apart, and the orthogonal projections of the fourth data fanout lines of the first type on the substrate and the fourth data fanout lines of the second type on the substrate may not overlap. For example, the fourth data fanout lines of the first type may be located in the first source-drain metal layer, and the fourth data fanout lines of the second type may be located in the second source-drain metal layer, thereby reducing the resistivity of the fourth data fanout lines and the load on the data lines. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0141] In some examples, the data lead-out lines in the first bezel region may include a first data connection line 50, a first data fan-out line 51, a second data fan-out line 52, a data folding line 53, a third data fan-out line 54, and a fourth data fan-out line 55 electrically connected in sequence.

In this disclosure, the "patterning process" includes processes such as photoresist coating, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping for metal, inorganic, or transparent conductive materials, and organic material coating, mask exposure, and development for organic materials.

A "thin film" refers to a thin film formed by depositing, coating, or otherwise depositing a material on a base substrate. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire manufacturing process, it can also be referred to as a "layer."
