[0030] To clarify the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be provided with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments may be implemented in many different forms. As those skilled in the art can readily understand, the methods and contents may be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited to the following embodiments. Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other. To maintain clarity and conciseness in the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will omit detailed descriptions of some known functions and components. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only relate to the structures of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures may refer to conventional designs.

[0031] The proportions in the drawings in this disclosure may be used as a reference for actual processes, but are not limited thereto. For example, the width-to-length ratio 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 subpixels in each pixel are also not limited to the numbers shown in the drawings. The drawings described in this disclosure are merely structural schematic diagrams, and one aspect of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0032] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" are used to avoid confusion of components and are not intended to limit the number of components.

[0033] For convenience, the positions of components in this specification are described with reference to the drawings using terms indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer." However, this is intended to simplify and explain the specification, and is not intended to indicate or suggest that the described devices or elements have a specific orientation or must be configured and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. The positional relationships of components may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which each component is described. Therefore, the terms described in the specification may not be limited and may be appropriately changed as the case may be.

[0034] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "attach," "couple," and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected. They may be mechanically connected or electrically connected. They may be directly connected, indirectly connected via a linker, or internally connected between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] 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, channel region, and source electrode. In this specification, the channel region refers to a region through which a current mainly flows.

[0036] In this specification, the first electrode may be a drain electrode and the second electrode may be a source electrode, or the first electrode may be a source electrode and the second electrode may be a drain electrode. The functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchangeable, such as when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the current direction during operation in a circuit changes. Therefore, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchangeable.

[0037] 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 can transmit and receive electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "elements having a certain electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.

[0038] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state in which the angle formed by two straight lines is between -10° and 10°, and includes a state in which the angle is between -5° and 5°. "Perpendicular" refers to a state in which the angle formed by two straight lines is between 80° and 100°, and includes a state in which the angle is between 85° and 95°.

[0039] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" are interchangeable. For example, a "conductive layer" may be changed to a "conductive film." Similarly, an "insulating film" may be changed to an "insulating layer."

[0040] As used herein, "deposited in the same layer" refers to a structure in which two or more types of structures are patterned by the same patterning process, and the materials may be the same or different. For example, the materials forming the precursors of multiple types of structures deposited in the same layer may be the same, and the materials ultimately formed may be the same or different.

[0041] In this disclosure, "about" refers to a case where the boundary is not precisely defined, but rather allows for a numerical value within the tolerances of process and measurement.

[0042] Display substrates have advantages such as high resolution, fast response speed, high brightness, and high aperture ratio, and have the prospect of widespread application. To achieve a better visual experience, narrow frames are the main development direction for displays.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the folding region may be bent with a curvature and the surface of the composite circuit region may be inverted, i.e., the upward-facing surface of the composite circuit region may be converted to a downward-facing surface by bending the folding region. In an exemplary embodiment, when the folding region is folded, the composite circuit region may overlap the display region 100.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the composite circuit area may include an anti-static area, a driver chip area, and a binding pin area, and an integrated circuit (abbreviated as IC) may be binding-connected to the driver chip area, and a flexible printed circuit (abbreviated as FPC) may be binding-connected to the binding pin area.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the integrated circuit can generate drive signals required to drive the sub-pixels and provide the drive signals to the sub-pixels in the display area 100.

The active layer of the low-temperature polysilicon film transistor is made of low-temperature polysilicon (abbreviated as LTPS), and the active layer of the oxide film transistor is made of oxide semiconductor (oxide). The low-temperature polysilicon film transistor has advantages such as high mobility and fast charging, while the oxide film transistor has advantages such as low leakage current. By integrating the low-temperature polysilicon film transistors and the oxide film transistors on a single display substrate to form a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (abbreviated as LTPO) display substrate, the advantages of both can be utilized to achieve low-frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display properties.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, if the display substrate is an LTPO display substrate, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be N-type transistors, and the remaining transistors may be P-type transistors.

[0075] 3B is an operation timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit according to FIG. 3A, and FIG. 3B illustrates an example in which all the transistors in FIG. 3A are P-type transistors. Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described using the operation process of the pixel driving circuit shown in FIG. 3B. In an exemplary embodiment, the operation process of the pixel driving circuit may include the following first stage A1, second stage A2, and third stage A3.

[0076] The first stage A1 is called the reset stage. The signals on the scan signal line Gate and the emission signal line EM are all high-level signals, and the signal on the reset signal line Reset is low-level signal. When the signal on the reset signal line Reset is high, the first transistor M1 is turned on, and the signal on the first initialization signal line INIT1 is supplied to the first node N1, initializing the capacitor C and clearing the original data voltage on the capacitor C. The seventh transistor M7 is turned on, and the initialization voltage on the second initialization signal line INIT2 is supplied to the first terminal of the light-emitting device L, initializing (resetting) the first terminal of the light-emitting device L and clearing the pre-stored voltage therein, completing the initialization. When the signals on the scan signal line Gate and the emission signal line EM are high, the second transistor M2, the fourth transistor M4, the fifth transistor M5, and the sixth transistor M6 are turned off, and the light-emitting device L does not emit light at this stage.

[0077] The second phase A2 is referred to as a data write phase or threshold compensation phase. The scan signal line Gate is at a low level, the signals on the emission signal line EM and the reset signal line Reset are at high levels, and the data signal line Data outputs a data voltage. In this phase, the first node N1 is at a low level, so the third transistor M3 is turned on. The signal on the scan signal line Gate is at a low level, so the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor M4 are turned on. With the second transistor M2 and the fourth transistor M4 turned on, the data voltage output from the data signal line Data is provided to the first node N1 via the second node N, the turned-on third transistor M3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor M2. The difference between the data voltage output from the data signal line Data and the threshold voltage of the third transistor M3 is charged into the capacitor C until the voltage at the first node N1 reaches Vd-|Vth|. Vd is the data voltage output from the data signal line Data, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor M3, which ensures that the light emitting device L does not emit light. The signal on the reset signal line Reset is a high-level signal, so the first transistor M1 is turned off. The signal on the emission signal line EM is a high-level signal, so the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 are turned off.

[0078] The third phase A3 is called the light-emitting phase. The signals on the scan signal line Gate and the reset signal line Reset are high, and the signal on the light-emitting signal line EM is low. When the signal on the light-emitting signal line EM is low, the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 are turned on. The power supply voltage output from the high-level power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the light-emitting device L through the turned-on fifth transistor M5, the third transistor M3, and the sixth transistor M6, causing the light-emitting device L to emit light.

[0079] During the driving process of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor M3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between the control electrode and the first electrode. Since the voltage at the first node N1 is Vd-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor M3 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 M3, i.e., the driving current for driving the OLED, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the control pole and the first pole of the third transistor M3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor M3, Vd is the data voltage output from the data signal line Data, and Vdd is the data voltage output from the high-level power supply line VDD.

[0130] In an exemplary embodiment, the first to eighth transistors T1 to T8 may be P-type transistors or N-type transistors.

[0131] In the exemplary embodiment, the first power supply terminal V1 continues to provide a high level signal and the second power supply terminal V2 continues to provide a low level signal.

[0132] Taking the case where the first to eighth transistors T1 to T8 are P-type transistors as an example, as shown in FIG. 7B, the operation process of the shift register according to the exemplary embodiment includes the following steps.

[0133] In the input stage B1, the signals at the first clock signal terminal CK1 and the input terminal IN are low-level signals, and the signal at the second clock signal terminal CK2 is high-level signals. Because the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is low-level, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the signal at the input terminal IN is transmitted to the first node G1 via the first transistor T1. The signal at the eighth transistor T8 receives a low-level signal at the second power terminal V2, and the eighth transistor T8 is turned on. The level at the third node G3 may turn on the fifth transistor T5, and the signal at the second clock signal terminal CK2 is transmitted to the output terminal OUT via the fifth transistor T5. That is, in the input stage B1, the signal at the second clock signal terminal CK2 is high-level. Also, because the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is low-level, the third transistor T3 is turned on, and the low-level signal at the second power terminal V2 is transmitted to the second node G2 via the third transistor T3. At this time, the fourth transistor T4 and the sixth transistor T6 are both turned on, and the signal at the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a high level signal, so the seventh transistor T7 is turned off.

[0134] In the output stage B2, the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is high, the signal at the second clock signal terminal CK2 is low, and the signal at the input terminal IN is high. The fifth transistor T5 is turned on, and the signal at the second clock signal terminal CK2 is transmitted to the output terminal OUT via the fifth transistor T5. In the output stage B2, the level of the terminal connected to the output terminal OUT of the second capacitor C2 becomes the signal at the second power supply terminal V2. Due to the bootstrap effect of the second capacitor C2, the eighth transistor T8 is turned off, allowing the fifth transistor T5 to be turned on, and the signal at the output terminal OUT is low. Furthermore, since the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is high, the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are both turned off. The second transistor T2 is turned on, and the high signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is transmitted to the second node G2 via the second transistor T2, thereby turning off the fourth transistor T4 and the sixth transistor T6. Since the signal at the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a low level signal, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on.

[0135] In the buffer stage B3, the signals at the first clock signal terminal CK1 and the second clock signal terminal CK2 are both high-level signals, the signal at the input terminal IN is high-level signals, the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, and the second clock signal terminal CK2 becomes the output signal through the fifth transistor T5. Due to the bootstrap effect of the second capacitor C2, the level of the first node G1 becomes V2-Vth. Furthermore, because the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is high-level signals, the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are both turned off, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, and the second transistor T2 is turned on. The high-level signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is transmitted to the second node G2 through the second transistor T2, thereby turning off the fourth transistor T4 and the sixth transistor T6. Because the signal at the second clock signal terminal CK2 is high-level signals, the seventh transistor T7 is turned off.

[0136] In the first sub-stage B41 of the stabilization stage B4, the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is low, and the signals at the second clock signal terminal CK2 and the input terminal IN are high. Because the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is low, the first transistor T1 is turned on, the signal at the input terminal IN is transmitted to the first node G1 through the first transistor T1, and the second transistor T2 is turned off. Because the eighth transistor T8 is on, the fifth transistor T5 is turned off. Because the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is low, the third transistor T3 is turned on, and the fourth transistor T4 and the sixth transistor T6 are all turned on. The high-level signal at the first power terminal V1 is transmitted to the output terminal OUT through the fourth transistor T4, i.e., the signal at the output terminal OUT is high.

[0137] In the second sub-stage B42 of the stabilization stage B4, the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a high-level signal, the signal at the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a low-level signal, and the signal at the input terminal IN is a high-level signal. The fifth transistor T5 and the second transistor T2 are both turned off. Because the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a high-level signal, the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are both turned off. Due to the holding effect of the first capacitor C1, the fourth transistor T4 and the sixth transistor T6 are both turned on, and a high-level signal is transmitted to the output terminal OUT through the fourth transistor T4, i.e., the signal at the output terminal OUT is a high-level signal.

[0138] In the second sub-stage B42, since the signal at the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a low level signal, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and a high level signal is transmitted to the third node G3 and the first node G1 via the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7, maintaining the signals at the third node G3 and the first node G1 as high level signals.

[0139] In the third sub-stage B43, the signals at the first clock signal terminal CK1 and the second clock signal terminal CK2 are both high level signals, and the signal at the input terminal IN is also high level signals. The fifth transistor T5 and the second transistor T2 are turned off. Because the signal at the first clock signal terminal CK1 is high level signals, the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are both turned off, and the fourth transistor T4 and the sixth transistor T6 are both turned on. The high level signal is transmitted to the output terminal OUT via the fourth transistor T4, that is, the signal at the output terminal OUT is high level signals.

The width is the length in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the second power line VGL to which the shift register is connected. The shift register includes a dummy scan shift register or a scan shift register.

[0143] In an exemplary embodiment, if the number of transistors in the dummy scan shift register is less than the number of transistors in the scan shift register, the width of the dummy scan shift register may be less than the width of the scan shift register.

[0144] In the exemplary embodiment, in order to ensure the display effect of the rounded corner area, more pixel driving circuits are left close to the rounded corner area. In the present disclosure, the width of the dummy scanning shift register is reduced, which can save space and provide sufficient area for the wiring of the scanning shift register, thereby reducing the area occupied by the rounded corner area and realizing a narrow frame of the display substrate.
