In this application, unless otherwise specified, directional terms used, such as "up" and "down," generally refer to the up and down of the device in its actual use or operating state, specifically in the drawing direction, while "inside" and "outside" refer to the contour of the device.

[0028] 1 to 8, an OLED display panel provided in the present application includes a display area 1 and a non-display area 2, the OLED display panel includes a substrate 10, a power signal line 20, a data signal line 30, a reset signal line 40, a fan-out wiring 50, and an auxiliary wiring 60 arranged above the substrate 10, the fan-out wiring 50 including a first fan-out line and a second fan-out line, the first fan-out line is arranged in a first area 3 of the display area 1, and the second fan-out line is arranged in the non-display area 2, one end of the first fan-out line is electrically connected to the data signal line 30, and the other end of the first fan-out line is electrically connected to the second fan-out line, and the auxiliary wiring 60 The wiring 60 includes a vertical auxiliary line 601 and a horizontal auxiliary line 602 arranged in different layers, the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the power signal line 20 extending along a first direction 130, the horizontal auxiliary line 602 and the reset signal line 40 extending along a second direction 140, the first direction 130 and the second direction 140 being perpendicular to each other, wherein the horizontal auxiliary line 602 and the power signal line 20 are arranged in different layers, and the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the reset signal line 40 are arranged in different layers, and the horizontal auxiliary line 602 and the power signal line 20 are electrically connected at their intersections to form a grid-like connection, and / or the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the reset signal line 40 are electrically connected at their intersections to form a grid-like connection.

[0029] In this embodiment, some of the metal wirings in the first region 3 of the display region 1 are used as auxiliary wirings 60, and the horizontal auxiliary wirings 602 and the power supply signal lines 20 are electrically connected at their intersections to form grid-like connections, and / or the vertical auxiliary wirings 601 and the reset signal lines 40 are electrically connected at their intersections to form grid-like connections.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present application will be described below in conjunction with specific examples.

[0031] The embodiments of the present application only explain the example of using some of the metal wiring that is not used as fan-out wiring 50 in the first region 3 of the display region 1 as auxiliary wiring 60. If there is unused metal wiring in other regions of the panel, the inventive concept of the present application may be adopted and falls within the scope of protection of the present application, and by connecting it in parallel with signal lines that require reduced impedance, such as the power signal line 20 and the reset signal line 40, display uniformity can be improved.

[0032] In addition, in order to provide the first fan-out wiring 70 within the display region 1, it is necessary to manufacture metal wiring in advance in the first region 3 of the display region 1, and the metal wiring includes first metal wiring extending along the first direction 130 and second metal wiring extending along the second direction 140, and some of the first metal wiring is made into the first wiring 701 and some of the second metal wiring is made into the second wiring 702, and the first wiring 701 and the second wiring 702 are connected via the first via 90 to form the first fan-out wiring 70, and further, in the present application, the remaining metal wiring that is not made into the first fan-out wiring 70 may be made into compensation wiring, specifically, the remaining part of the first metal wiring that is not made into the first wiring 701 may be made into vertical auxiliary lines 601, and the remaining part of the second metal wiring that is not made into the second wiring 702 may be made into horizontal auxiliary lines 602.

[0034] Since the present application is based on the FIAA design and is improved upon, the parts not mentioned in the present application can be referred to the conventional FIAA design.

[0035] In one embodiment, the pitches of adjacent horizontal auxiliary lines 602 are equal, and / or the pitches of adjacent vertical auxiliary lines 601 are equal.

[0036] Here, the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the reset signal line 40 are provided on different layers and are connected to each other in a crossing manner to form a grid, and the horizontal auxiliary line 602 and the power signal line 20 are provided on different layers and are connected to each other in a crossing manner to form a grid.

[0037] It should be understood that the equal grid pitch is advantageous in reducing the impedance of the reset signal line 40 and the power supply signal line 20, and further improves display uniformity.

[0038] In one embodiment, the OLED display panel includes a plurality of pixel units, and each of the pixel units includes two sub-pixels.

[0039] Here, the two sub-pixels include a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, the first sub-pixel being a red-green sub-pixel, and the second sub-pixel being a blue-green sub-pixel.

[0040] The pixel arrangement of the OLED display panel is a Pentile arrangement, and such an arrangement includes only two sub-pixels within one pixel, and each sub-pixel has one horizontal auxiliary line 602 or one second wiring 702, one vertical auxiliary line 601, or one first wiring 701. Therefore, it should be understood that using such an arrangement, one pixel unit includes only two horizontal auxiliary lines 602 or two second wirings 702 and two vertical auxiliary lines 601 or two first wirings 701.

[0041] It should be noted that the following examples only show the pixel arrangement in the Pentile arrangement, and other pixel arrangements are applicable to the present application and should also fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first fan-out wiring 70 includes a first wiring 701 extending along a first direction 130 and a second wiring 702 extending along a second direction 140, the first wiring 701 being spaced apart from and insulated from the vertical auxiliary line 601, the second wiring 702 being spaced apart from and insulated from the horizontal auxiliary line 602, one end of the first wiring 701 being electrically connected to the second fan-out line, the other end of the first wiring 701 being electrically connected to the second wiring 702 via a first via 90, and the second wiring 702 being electrically connected to the data signal line 30 via a second via 100.

[0043] Here, the second wiring 702 and the first wiring 701 are provided in different layers, and the second wiring 702 and the data signal line 30 are provided in different layers.

[0044] Here, the first wiring 701 may be provided in the same layer as the data signal line 30 .

[0045] It should be understood that the first wiring 701 of the first fan-out wiring 70 may use some of the first metal wiring, the second wiring 702 of the first fan-out wiring 70 may use some of the second metal wiring, and the remaining metal wiring may be auxiliary wiring 60.

[0046] In this embodiment, some of the metal wiring is designated as a first wiring 701 and a second wiring 702, and the second wiring 702 is connected to the first wiring 701 via a first via 90 and to the data signal line 30 via a second via 100, respectively, thereby realizing a cross-line connection in the form of a via and avoiding the occurrence of a short circuit in the first fan-out wiring 70 located in the display area 1.

[0047] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, any of the pixel units includes the second wiring 702 and the horizontal auxiliary line 602, and the second wiring 702 and the horizontal auxiliary line 602 are periodically alternated and spaced apart.

[0048] It should be understood that in any pixel unit, only two second metal wirings extending along the second direction 140 are provided, that is, in any pixel unit, one of the two second metal wirings serves as the second wiring 702, connecting the first wiring 701 and the data signal line 30, and the other of the two second metal wirings serves as the horizontal auxiliary line 602, and the horizontal auxiliary line 602 and the power signal line 20 extending along the first direction 130 are connected in parallel at their intersections, and for multiple pixel units, the horizontal auxiliary line 602 and the power signal line 20 form a grid shape in a planar view direction perpendicular to the substrate 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, the second lines 702 and the horizontal auxiliary lines 602 are periodically alternately arranged at intervals, so that each pixel unit includes one horizontal auxiliary line 602, which further improves the display uniformity of the OLED display panel.

[0050] In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 3, two adjacent pixel units include three of the second wirings 702 and the horizontal auxiliary lines 602 .

[0051] In another design form for installing the second wirings 702 and the horizontal extension lines 602, one of every four adjacent second metal wirings is the horizontal extension line 602, and the other three are all second wirings 702. That is, in any two adjacent pixel units, four second metal wirings extending along the second direction 140 are provided, three of which serve as the second wirings 702 connecting the first wirings 701 and the data signal lines 30, and one of which is the horizontal extension line 602. The horizontal extension lines 602 and the power signal lines 20 extending along the first direction 130 are connected in parallel at their intersections, and it should be understood that for multiple pixel units, the horizontal extension lines 602 and the power signal lines 20 form a grid shape in a plan view perpendicular to the substrate 10.

[0052] The intersection point is the overlap position of two wirings provided on different layers in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 when viewed in a plan view perpendicular to the substrate 10. For example, the intersection point of the horizontal auxiliary line 602 and the power supply signal line 20 is the overlap position of the horizontal auxiliary line 602 and the power supply signal line 20 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10.

[0053] In this embodiment, only one horizontal auxiliary line 602 is provided in one of two adjacent pixel units, so that three second wirings 702 can be provided in every two adjacent pixel units. Since the second wirings 702 are arranged more densely, the installation space of the second wirings 702 can be saved, and the installation space of the reset signal line 40 extending along the second direction 140 can be improved, thereby improving space utilization.

[0054] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, the OLED display panel includes a single reset signal pixel driving circuit, the reset signal line 40 is a first reset signal line 401, any of the pixel units further includes the first wiring 701 and the vertical auxiliary line 601, and in any of the pixel units, the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the first reset signal line 401 are connected in parallel at their crossing points.

[0055] Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the single reset signal pixel driving circuit is a 7T1C circuit, and the single reset signal pixel driving circuit includes only one reset signal line 40. The specific connection relationship of the single reset signal pixel driving circuit can be referred to in FIG. 4, and the description thereof will be omitted here.

[0056] Each pixel unit includes two first metal wirings, one of which serves as the first wiring 701 connecting the second fan-out wiring 80 and the data signal line 30, and the other of which serves as the vertical auxiliary wiring 601 connected to the first reset signal line 401 to reduce the impedance of the first reset signal line 401. That is, it should be understood that for a single reset signal pixel driving circuit, when the vertical auxiliary wiring 601 is arranged periodically, the minimum period for arranging the vertical auxiliary wiring is two adjacent first metal wirings extending along the first direction 130.

[0057] In this embodiment, one of the two first metal wirings in any pixel unit is used as the first wiring 701 and the other is used as the vertical auxiliary line 601, thereby further reducing the number of unused first metal wirings, improving the utilization rate of the first metal wirings, and further realizing a narrower frame and reduced costs.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments, one of every four, six, or eight adjacent first metal wirings is a vertical auxiliary line 601, and the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the first reset signal line 401 are connected in parallel at the intersection.

[0059] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the OLED display panel includes a dual reset signal pixel driving circuit, the reset signal line 40 includes a second reset signal line 402 and a third reset signal line 403, any one of the pixel units further includes the first wiring 701 and the vertical auxiliary line 601, and of two adjacent pixel units, the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the second reset signal line 402 of one pixel unit are connected in parallel at an intersection, and the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the third reset signal line 403 of the other pixel unit are connected in parallel at an intersection.

[0060] Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the dual reset signal pixel driving circuit is a 7T1C circuit, and includes two reset signal lines 40, namely, a second reset signal line 402 and a third reset signal line 403. Here, the second reset signal line 402 and the third reset signal line 403 are merely distinguished from the first reset signal line 401, and they may be connected to different reset signals or the same reset signal. The specific connection relationship of the dual reset signal pixel driving circuit can be seen in FIG. 6, and will not be described here.

[0061] Two adjacent pixel units include four first metal wires, and one of the first metal wires in each pixel unit is a vertical auxiliary line 601. The vertical auxiliary lines 601 of the adjacent pixel units are connected in parallel to the second reset signal line 402 and the third reset signal line 403, respectively, to reduce the impedance of the second reset signal line 402 and the third reset signal line 403. That is, for a dual reset signal pixel driving circuit, when the vertical auxiliary lines 601 are arranged periodically, the vertical auxiliary lines 601 in two adjacent pixel units need to be connected to different second reset signal lines 402 and third reset signal lines 403, respectively. Therefore, it should be understood that the minimum period for arranging the vertical auxiliary lines 601 is four adjacent first metal wires extending along the first direction 130, and two of the four first metal wires are connected to the second reset signal line 402 and the third reset signal line 403 as vertical auxiliary lines 601.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the dual reset signal pixel driving circuit includes the second reset signal line 402 and the third reset signal line 403, two of the four first metal lines in any two adjacent pixel units are configured as the first lines 701, one is connected to the second reset signal line 402 as the vertical auxiliary line 601, and the last is connected to the third reset signal line 403 as the vertical auxiliary line 601. This further reduces the number of unused first metal lines, improves the utilization rate of the first metal lines, and is advantageous for achieving a narrower picture frame and reducing costs.

[0063] Furthermore, in some embodiments, one of every four, six, or eight adjacent first metal wirings is a vertical auxiliary line 601, and the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the second reset signal line 402 or the third reset signal line 403 are connected in parallel at the intersection.

[0064] It should be understood that the remaining first metal wiring may be used as the first wiring.

[0065] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the OLED display panel includes a triple reset signal pixel driving circuit, the reset signal line 40 includes a fourth reset signal line 404, a fifth reset signal line 405, and a sixth reset signal line 406, and any of the pixel units further includes the first wiring 701 and the vertical auxiliary line 601. Among three adjacent pixel units, the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the fourth reset signal line 404 of one of the pixel units are connected in parallel at an intersection, the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the fifth reset signal line 405 of another of the pixel units are connected in parallel at an intersection, and the vertical auxiliary line 601 and the sixth reset signal line 406 of yet another of the pixel units are connected in parallel at an intersection.

[0066] Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the triple reset signal pixel driving circuit is an 8T1C circuit, and includes three reset signal lines 40, namely, a fourth reset signal line 404, a fifth reset signal line 405, and a sixth reset signal line 406. Here, the fourth reset signal line 404, the fifth reset signal line 405, and the sixth reset signal line 406 are merely distinguished from the first reset signal line 401, the second reset signal line 402, and the third reset signal line 403, and they may be connected to different reset signals or the same reset signal. The specific connection relationship of the triple reset signal pixel driving circuit can be seen in FIG. 8, and will not be described here.

[0067] In three adjacent pixel units, six first metal wirings are included, and one of the first metal wirings in any pixel unit is a vertical auxiliary line 601. The vertical auxiliary lines 601 of the three adjacent pixel units are respectively connected in parallel to the fourth reset signal line 404, the fifth reset signal line 405, and the sixth reset signal line 406, thereby reducing the impedance of the fourth reset signal line 404, the fifth reset signal line 405, and the sixth reset signal line 406. That is, for a triple reset signal pixel driving circuit, the vertical auxiliary line 60 When the vertical auxiliary lines 601 are periodically provided, the vertical auxiliary lines 601 in three adjacent pixel units must be connected to different fourth reset signal lines 404, fifth reset signal lines 405, and sixth reset signal lines 406, respectively. Therefore, it should be understood that the minimum period for providing the vertical auxiliary lines 601 is 46 adjacent first metal wirings extending along the first direction 130, and here, three of the six adjacent first metal wirings are connected to the fourth reset signal line 404, fifth reset signal line 405, and sixth reset signal line 406 as vertical auxiliary lines 601, respectively.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the triple reset signal pixel driving circuit includes the fourth reset signal line 404, the fifth reset signal line 405, and the sixth reset signal line 406, three of the six first metal lines in any three adjacent pixel units are used as first lines 701, and the remaining three are used as vertical auxiliary lines 601, which are connected to the fourth reset signal line 404, the fifth reset signal line 405, and the sixth reset signal line 406, respectively, thereby further reducing the number of unused first metal lines, improving the utilization rate of the first metal lines, and further realizing a narrower frame and lower costs.
