Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and a display device. [Background technology]
[0002] In the prior art, a parasitic capacitance exists between the gate and source of a driving transistor in a pixel driving circuit. During the reset stage of the pixel driving circuit, the gate voltage of the driving transistor is initialized to an initial voltage. Due to the coupling effect of the parasitic capacitance, the source voltage of the driving transistor also changes accordingly. When different gray scales are reset during the reset stage, the gate voltage of the driving transistor changes by different amounts, and therefore the source voltage of the driving transistor also changes by different amounts. As a result, the source voltage of the driving transistor after the reset stage is completed is different, and the Vgs (gate-source voltage difference) of the driving transistor is also different. At the same time, the Vgs of the driving transistor affects its threshold voltage, resulting in image retention on the display panel.

During the buffer stage t3, the enable signal terminal EM, the first reset signal terminal Re1, and the first gate drive signal terminal G1 output high-level signals, the second gate drive signal terminal G2 and the second reset signal terminal Re2 output low-level signals, and all transistors are turned off.During the light-emitting stage t4, the first reset signal terminal Re1 and the first gate drive signal terminal G1 output high-level signals, the enable signal terminal EM, the second gate drive signal terminal G2, and the second reset signal terminal Re2 output low-level signals, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, and the drive transistor T2 emits light due to the voltage Vdata+Vth stored in the capacitor C. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the driving method may not include a buffer stage, or the fourth transistor T4 and the seventh transistor T7 may be turned on in different stages. During the threshold compensation stage t2, the duration of the active level (low level) of the first gate drive signal terminal G1 may be shorter than the duration of the active level (high level) of the second gate drive signal terminal G2. During the threshold compensation stage t2, the first gate drive signal terminal G1 can scan one row of pixel drive circuits, and the second gate drive signal terminal G2 can scan multiple rows (e.g., two rows) of pixel drive circuits row by row.
[0033] In the prior art, the pixel driving circuit does not include an eighth transistor, and therefore a parasitic capacitance exists between the gate and source of the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit. During the reset phase of the pixel driving circuit, the gate voltage of the driving transistor is initialized to an initial voltage. However, due to the coupling effect of the parasitic capacitance, the source voltage of the driving transistor also changes accordingly. When different gray scales are reset during the reset phase, the gate voltage of the driving transistor changes by different amounts, resulting in different changes in the source voltage of the driving transistor. As a result, the Vgs (gate-source voltage difference) of the driving transistor after the reset phase is also different. At the same time, the Vgs of the driving transistor affects its threshold voltage, causing image retention on the display panel. In this exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit can reset the first node N1 using the fourth transistor T4 and the second node N2 using the eighth transistor T8 during the reset phase. Therefore, even when different data signals are used, the pixel driving circuit can reset the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor to the same value, thereby improving the image retention problem on the display panel.

As shown in FIG. 12, the orthogonal projection of the light-shielding portion 61 onto the base substrate can cover the orthogonal projection of the second active portion 72 onto the base substrate, and the light-shielding portion 61 can act as a light shield for the second active portion 72. This reduces the effect of light on the characteristics of the driving transistor T2.
[0037] 3, 6, and 13, the first conductive layer may include a first initial signal line Vinit1, a first gate line G1, a first conductive portion 11, an enable signal line EM, and a first reset signal line Re1.

Alternatively, the light-shielding layer may be connected to a power line of the fifth conductive layer through a via hole located around the display area of the display panel. The light-shielding portion 61 stabilizes the voltage of the first conductive portion 11 and reduces voltage fluctuations at the gate of the driving transistor T2 during the light-emitting phase. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 13, the orthographic projection of the enable signal line EM on the base substrate may be located between the orthographic projection of the eleventh active portion 711 on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the ninth active portion 79 on the base substrate.

Also, in this exemplary embodiment, the orthogonal projection of a structure onto the base substrate extending along a certain direction can be understood as the entire orthogonal projection of the structure onto the base substrate extending along the direction.

[0041] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 16, the orthogonal projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 onto the base substrate may at least partially overlap with the orthogonal projection of the first reset signal line Re1 onto the base substrate. This configuration can increase the integration density of the pixel driving circuit and reduce the layout area of the pixel driving circuit.

In addition, the display panel can perform a conductive treatment on the second active layer using the third conductive layer as a mask, i.e., the area of the second active layer covered by the third conductive layer can form the channel region of the transistor, and the area not covered by the third conductive layer can form the conductor structure.
[0042] 3, 10, and 17, the fourth conductive layer may include a second initial signal line Vinit2, a first bridge portion 41, a second bridge portion 42, a third bridge portion 43, a fourth bridge portion 44, a fifth bridge portion 45, a sixth bridge portion 46, a seventh bridge portion 47, and an eighth bridge portion 48. Here, the orthogonal projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 onto the base substrate may extend along the first direction X, and the second initial signal line Vinit2 is used to provide the second initial signal terminal in FIG. 1. The first bridge portion 41 is connected to the tenth active portion 710 and the third initial signal line Vinit3 through via holes H, respectively, so that the first pole of the eighth transistor T8 can be connected to the third initial signal terminal. Here, the first bridge section 41 of the first pixel driving circuit P1 and the first bridge section 41 of the second pixel driving circuit share a partial structure and share the same via hole to connect to the third initial signal line Vinit3. Note that the black squares in this exemplary embodiment represent via holes, and only some of the via hole locations are annotated in this exemplary embodiment. The second bridge section 42 is connected to the tenth active section 710 and the eleventh active section 711 through via holes, respectively, and thereby connected to the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8 and the first electrode of the driving transistor T2. The third bridge section 43 is connected to the fourteenth active section 714 and the first connecting section 21 through via holes, respectively, and thereby connected to the second electrode of the capacitor and the first electrode of the fifth transistor. Here, the third bridge section 43 may be mirror-symmetric with respect to the mirror-symmetric plane of the first pixel driving circuit P1 and the second pixel driving circuit P2. The fourth bridge section 44 is connected through via holes to the first active layer between the sixth active section 76 and the second active section 72 and to one side of the third active section 813 away from the fourth active section 814, thereby connecting to the second pole of the driving transistor T2, the second pole of the third transistor T3, and the first pole of the sixth transistor T6.The fifth bridge portion 45 is connected to the second active layer between the third active portion 813 and the fourth active portion 814 and the first conductive portion 11 through via holes, thereby connecting to the first pole of the third transistor T3, the second pole of the fourth transistor T4, and the gate of the drive transistor T2. The orthogonal projection of the via hole connected between the fifth bridge portion 45 and the first conductive portion 11 onto the base substrate is located within the orthogonal projection of the opening 221 onto the base substrate, thereby preventing the conductive structure within the via hole from being electrically connected to the second conductive portion 22. The sixth bridge portion 46 is connected to the second active layer on one side of the fourth active portion 814 away from the third active portion 813 and the first initial signal line Vinit1 through via holes, thereby connecting to the first pole of the fourth transistor T4 and the first initial signal terminal. The seventh bridge portion 47 is connected to the first active layer between the sixth active portion 76 and the seventh active portion 77 through a via hole, thereby connecting to the second pole of the seventh transistor. The seventh bridge portion 47 is used for connection to the first electrode of the light-emitting unit. The eighth bridge portion 48 is connected to the first active layer on one side of the first active portion 71, away from the second active portion 72, through a via hole, thereby connecting to the first pole of the first transistor. The display panel may further include a plurality of pixel driving circuits arranged in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y may intersect. For example, the first direction X may be the row direction and the second direction Y may be the column direction. Here, the orthogonal projection of the first initial signal line Vinit1 of the pixel driving circuit of the current row onto the base substrate may at least partially overlap with the orthogonal projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 of the pixel driving circuit of the previous row onto the base substrate. This setting makes it possible to increase the integration density of the pixel drive circuit and reduce the layout area of the pixel drive circuit.
[0043] In another exemplary embodiment, when the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 shares the first power supply terminal VDD, the power supply line VDD is directly connected to the first bridge portion 41 through a via hole, thereby connecting the first pole of the eighth transistor and the first power supply terminal VDD, as shown in Figures 3 and 17. The position of the via hole connected between the power supply line VDD and the first bridge portion 41 may be the position of the via hole originally connected between the third initial signal line Vinit3 and the first bridge portion 41. In this case, the display panel may maintain the third initial signal line Vinit3 or may remove the third initial signal line Vinit3.
[0044] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 11 , the fifth conductive layer may include a power supply line VDD, a data line Da, and a bridge portion 51. The power supply line VDD may be used to provide the first power supply terminal of FIG. 1 , and the data line Da may be used to provide the data signal terminal of FIG. 1 . The orthogonal projection of the power supply line VDD onto the base substrate and the orthogonal projection of the data line Da onto the base substrate may both extend along the second direction Y. The data line Da may be connected to the eighth bridge portion 48 through a via hole and thereby connected to the first electrode of the first transistor. The power supply line VDD of the first pixel driving circuit and the power supply line VDD of the second pixel driving circuit are respectively connected to the third bridge portion 43 through via holes and thereby connected to the first power supply terminal, the second electrode of the capacitor C, and the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5. The bridge portion 51 is connected to the seventh bridge portion 47 through a via hole and may be used to connect to the first electrode of the light-emitting unit. The second conductive portion 22 connected in the first direction X and the power supply line VDD form a grid structure, thereby reducing the impedance loading (IR loading) of the power supply line. As shown in Figure 3, the orthogonal projection of the power supply line VDD onto the base substrate can also cover the orthogonal projection of the fourth active portion 814 onto the base substrate to reduce the influence of light on the characteristics of the fourth transistor T4. At the same time, the orthogonal projection of the power supply line VDD onto the base substrate can at least partially overlap with the orthogonal projection of the third active portion 813 onto the base substrate, and similarly, the power supply line VDD can reduce the influence of light on the characteristics of the third transistor T3.

[0063] The only difference between the display panel shown in Figure 27 and the display panel shown in Figure 3 is the structures of the first active layer, the second conductive layer, and the fourth conductive layer. As shown in Figures 28-35, Figure 28 is a structural layout diagram of the first active layer of Figure 27, Figure 29 is a structural layout diagram of the second conductive layer of Figure 27, Figure 30 is a structural layout diagram of the fourth conductive layer of Figure 27, Figure 31 is a structural layout diagram of the light-shielding layer, the first active layer, and the first conductive layer of Figure 27, and Figure 32 is a structural layout diagram of the light-shielding layer, the first active layer, the first conductive layer, and the second conductive layer of Figure 27. 33 is a structural layout diagram of the light-shielding layer, first active layer, first conductive layer, second conductive layer, and second active layer of FIG. 27; FIG. 34 is a structural layout diagram of the light-shielding layer, first active layer, first conductive layer, second conductive layer, second active layer, and third conductive layer of FIG. 27; and FIG. 35 is a structural layout diagram of the light-shielding layer, first active layer, first conductive layer, second conductive layer, second active layer, third conductive layer, and fourth conductive layer of FIG. 27.
[0064] As shown in Figures 27 and 28, the first active layer similarly includes a first active portion 71, a second active portion 72, a fifth active portion 75, a sixth active portion 76, a seventh active portion 77, an eighth active portion 78, a ninth active portion 79, a tenth active portion 710, an eleventh active portion 711, a twelfth active portion 712, and a fourteenth active portion 714. The first active layer shown in Fig. 28 differs from the first active layer shown in Fig. 4 in that, in the first active layer shown in Fig. 28, the eighth active unit 78 of the first pixel driving circuit P1 is reused as the eighth active unit 78 of the second pixel driving circuit P2, the ninth active unit 79 of the first pixel driving circuit P1 is reused as the ninth active unit 79 of the second pixel driving circuit P2, and the tenth active unit 710 of the first pixel driving circuit P1 is reused as the tenth active unit 710 of the second pixel driving circuit P2, and the first active layer shown in Fig. 28 does not have a thirteenth active unit 713. That is, the second pixel driving circuit P2 does not have the eighth active unit 78, the ninth active unit 79, and the tenth active unit 710.
[0065] 27, 29, and 32-35, the second conductive layer in the display panel shown in FIG. 27 may similarly include a third gate line 2G2, a third reset signal line 2Re2, a second conductive portion 22, and a first connecting portion 21. The second conductive layer may further include a ninth bridge portion 29. Here, the ninth bridge portion 29 may be mirror-symmetric with respect to the mirror-symmetric plane of the first pixel driving circuit P1 and the second pixel driving circuit P2. Furthermore, the ninth bridge portion 29 may also be located in another conductive layer, such as the first conductive layer, the third conductive layer, or another additional conductive layer.

Here, the first bridge section 41 of the first pixel driving circuit P1 can be reused as the first bridge section of the second pixel driving circuit P2. That is, the second pixel driving circuit P2 does not include the first bridge section 41. Furthermore, the second bridge section 42 of the first pixel driving circuit P1 includes three via-hole connections, and the second bridge section 42 of the first pixel driving circuit P1 is connected to the ninth active section 79, the eleventh active section 711, and the ninth bridge section 29 of the first pixel driving circuit P1, respectively, via the three via-hole connections.

[0067] In the display panel shown in Figure 27, a relatively large space is left at the original position of the eighth transistor in the second pixel driving circuit, allowing the layout of other structures to be set. As shown in Figures 31 to 35, the other configurations of the display panel shown in Figure 27 are similar to those of the display panel shown in Figure 3. As shown in Figure 27, the cross-sectional view along dotted line AA in Figure 27 is similar to that of Figure 18.
[0068] 36 is a structural layout diagram of a display panel according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The structure shown in FIG. 36 includes two repeat units, each shown in FIG. 3, adjacent to each other in the first direction X. The two repeat units are connected to adjacent power lines VDD. The orthogonal projection of the power line VDD onto the base substrate may at least partially overlap with the orthogonal projection of the second active layer connected between the third active unit 813 and the fourth active unit 814 onto the base substrate. Here, if the area where the orthogonal projection of the power line VDD onto the base substrate overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the second active layer connected between the third active unit 813 and the fourth active unit 814 onto the base substrate is S1, and the orthogonal projection of the second active layer connected between the third active unit 813 and the fourth active unit 814 onto the base substrate is S2, S1 / S2 may be 90% or more, for example, 90%, 95%, 100%, etc. This setting helps to stabilize the voltage of the second active layer connected between the third active section 813 and the fourth active section 814 via the power supply line VDD, thereby reducing voltage fluctuations at the gate of the drive transistor during the light-emitting phase.
[0069] FIG. 37 is a structural layout diagram of a display panel according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 38 is a structural layout diagram of the fifth conductive layer of the display panel shown in FIG. 37. The display panel shown in FIG. 37 differs from the display panel shown in FIG. 36 only in the structure of the power supply line VDD in the fifth conductive layer. As shown in FIG. 37, the orthogonal projection of the power supply line VDD onto the base substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the fifth bridge portion 45 onto the base substrate. If the area of the overlap between the orthogonal projection of the power supply line VDD onto the base substrate and the orthogonal projection of the fifth bridge portion 45 onto the base substrate is S3, and the area of the orthogonal projection of the fifth bridge portion 45 onto the base substrate is S4, then S3 / S4 may be 80% or more, for example, 80%, 90%, 95%, etc. This setting helps stabilize the voltage of the fifth bridge portion 45 via the power supply line VDD and reduces voltage fluctuations at the gate of the drive transistor during the light-emitting phase.
[0070] 39 and 40 , FIG. 39 is a structural layout diagram of a light-shielding layer, a first active layer, a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a second active layer, a third conductive layer, and a fourth conductive layer in a display panel according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 40 is a structural layout diagram of the fourth conductive layer in the display panel shown in FIG. 39 . Here, the only difference between the layered structures of the display panel shown in FIG. 39 and the layered structures of the display panel shown in FIG. 36 is the structure of the third bridge portion 43 in the fourth conductive layer of the display panel shown in FIG. 39 . As shown in FIGS. 39 and 40 , the third bridge portion 43 may have a hollow portion 431, which may be located in a light-transmitting region of the display panel. The light-transmitting region of the display panel may be understood as a region not covered by the light-shielding layer, the first active layer, the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, the second active layer, the third conductive layer, the fourth conductive layer, and the fifth conductive layer. This setting makes it possible to improve the transmittance of the display panel.
[0071] 41 is a structural layout diagram of a display panel according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which may include the structure of the display panel shown in FIG. 39. The display panel may further include a fifth conductive layer located on the opposite side of the base substrate from the fourth conductive layer, the fifth conductive layer including a power supply line VDD and a data line Da, wherein the orthogonal projection of the hollow portion 431 of the third bridge portion 43 onto the base substrate may intersect with the orthogonal projection of the data line Da onto the base substrate, and providing the hollow portion 431 in the third bridge portion 43 can reduce the coupling effect of the third bridge portion 43 with the data line Da.
[0072] 39 and 40, the hollow portion 431 has an open pattern, but it should be understood that the hollow portion 431 may have a closed shape. For example, as shown in FIGS. 42 and 43, FIG. 42 is a structural layout diagram of a light-shielding layer, a first active layer, a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a second active layer, a third conductive layer, and a fourth conductive layer in a display panel according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 43 is a structural layout diagram of the fourth conductive layer of the display panel shown in FIG. 42. The only difference between the structure of the display panel shown in FIG. 42 and the structure of the display panel shown in FIG. 39 is the shape of the hollow portion 431. The closed-loop hollow portion 431 can also improve the transmittance of the display panel and reduce the coupling effect of the third bridge portion 43 with the data line Da.
[0073] 44, 45, and 46, FIG. 44 is a structural layout diagram of a light-shielding layer, a first active layer, a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a second active layer, a third conductive layer, and a fourth conductive layer in a display panel according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 45 is a structural layout diagram of the second conductive layer in FIG. 44, and FIG. 46 is a structural layout diagram of the fourth conductive layer in FIG. 44. The difference between the layer structures of the display panel shown in FIG. 44 and the layer structures of the display panel shown in FIG. 36 is the partial structures of the second conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer. As shown in FIG. 45, the second initial signal line Vinit2 may be disposed on the second conductive layer. Since the distance between the second conductive layer and the first active layer is relatively short, the yield of via holes between the second initial signal line Vinit2 and the twelfth active portion can be improved. As shown in FIG. 46 , the fourth conductive layer may further include a connecting line 49, the orthogonal projection of which on the base substrate extends along the second direction Y, and the connecting line 49 is connected between two sixth bridge portions 46 in adjacent repeating units along the first direction X and between two sixth bridge portions 46 in adjacent pixel driving circuits in the second direction Y. The connecting line 49 connects the first initial signal line Vinit1 in a grid structure, thereby reducing the voltage drop of the first initial signal line Vinit1 itself and improving the reset effect of the gate of the driving transistor.
[0074] 44 , in the region enclosed by the dotted line frame B, the first reset signal line Re1, the second initial signal line Vinit2, and the third initial signal line Vinit3 extending along the first direction X are stacked in this order, and therefore the insulating layer located between the third conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer has a protrusion facing the fourth conductive layer at the position enclosed by the dotted line frame B, which may cause a disconnection of the connection line 49 at the position enclosed by the dotted line frame B. In this illustrative example, at the position enclosed by the dotted line frame B, the orthogonal projections of at least two of the three side edges of the first reset signal line Re1, the second initial signal line Vinit2, and the third initial signal line Vinit3 on the same side in the second direction Y do not need to overlap. This setting allows the protrusions to form a step structure, reducing the risk of disconnection of the connection line 49. For example, at the position of the dotted frame B, the size of the orthogonal projection of the first reset signal line Re1 onto the base substrate in the second direction Y, the size of the orthogonal projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 onto the base substrate in the second direction Y, and the size of the orthogonal projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 onto the base substrate in the second direction Y increase sequentially, and the orthogonal projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 onto the base substrate can cover the orthogonal projection of the first reset signal line Re1 onto the base substrate and the orthogonal projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 onto the base substrate. As another example, at the position of dotted frame B, the size of the orthogonal projection of the first reset signal line Re1 onto the base substrate in the second direction Y, the size of the orthogonal projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 onto the base substrate in the second direction Y, and the size of the orthogonal projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 onto the base substrate in the second direction Y may be approximately the same, and the orthogonal projection of the first reset signal line Re1 onto the base substrate, the orthogonal projection of the second initial signal line Vinit2 onto the base substrate, and the orthogonal projection of the third initial signal line Vinit3 onto the base substrate are offset from each other in the second direction Y.
[0075] 47, 48, and 49, FIG. 47 is a structural layout diagram of a display panel according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, including a light-shielding layer, a first active layer, a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a second active layer, a third conductive layer, and a fourth conductive layer. FIG. 48 is a structural layout diagram of the second conductive layer of FIG. 47, and FIG. 49 is a structural layout diagram of the fourth conductive layer of FIG. 47. The difference between the layer structures of the display panel shown in FIG. 47 and the corresponding layer structures of the display panel shown in FIG. 36 is the partial structures of the second conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer. As shown in FIG. 48, the second initial signal line Vinit2 may be disposed on the second conductive layer. Since the distance between the second conductive layer and the first active layer is relatively short, the yield of via holes between the second initial signal line Vinit2 and the twelfth active portion 712 can be improved. 49, the fourth conductive layer may further include a connecting line 410 and a bridge portion 411, and in the same pixel driving circuit, the bridge portion 411 is connected to the second initial signal line Vinit2 and the twelfth active portion 712 through via holes, respectively. The orthogonal projection of the connecting line 410 onto the base substrate extends along the second direction Y, and the connecting line 410 is connected between two bridge portions 411 in adjacent repeat units along the first direction X, and also connected between two bridge portions 411 in adjacent pixel driving circuits in the second direction Y. The connecting line 410 connects the second initial signal line Vinit2 in a grid structure, thereby reducing the voltage drop of the second initial signal line Vinit2 itself.
[0076] In the same display panel according to another exemplary embodiment, the first initial signal line Vinit1 may be gridded in the structure shown in Fig. 44, and the second initial signal line Vinit2 may be gridded in the structure shown in Fig. 47. Here, the connecting line 49 and the connecting line 410 may be arranged between different repeating units, for example, the connecting line 49 and the connecting line 410 may be arranged alternately in the first direction X.
[0077] 50 and 51, FIG. 50 is a structural layout diagram of a display panel according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 51 is a structural layout diagram of the fifth conductive layer of FIG. 50. Here, the display panel shown in FIG. 50 includes the structure of the display panel shown in FIG. 44, and the display panel shown in FIG. 50 has a fifth conductive layer formed on the side of the fourth conductive layer opposite the base substrate. The only difference between the fifth conductive layer of FIG. 51 and the fifth conductive layer of FIG. 36 is that a hollow portion 52 is provided on the power supply line VDD connected between adjacent repeating units, and the hollow portion 52 may be located in a light-transmitting region on the display panel. This configuration can improve the transmittance of the display panel. Furthermore, the orthogonal projection of the hollow portion 52 onto the base substrate and the orthogonal projection of the connection line 49 onto the base substrate may overlap, which can reduce the coupling effect between the power supply line VDD and the first initial signal line Vinit1. 51, the connected power supply line VDD can be connected via two connection parts 53, and correspondingly, the hollow part 52 can include a closed-loop hollow part 522 and a non-closed-loop hollow part 521. Alternatively, the hollow part 52 may include only a non-closed-loop hollow part, and for example, the connected power supply line VDD may be connected via only one connection part 53.
[0078] As shown in FIGS. 52 and 53, FIG. 52 is a structural layout diagram of a display panel according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 53 is a structural layout diagram of the fifth conductive layer of FIG. 52. Here, the display panel shown in FIG. 52 includes the structure of the display panel shown in FIG. 47, but the display panel shown in FIG. 52 has a fifth conductive layer formed on the opposite side of the fourth conductive layer from the base substrate. The only difference between the fifth conductive layer of FIG. 52 and the fifth conductive layer of FIG. 37 is that a hollow portion 52 may be provided in the power supply line VDD connecting adjacent repeating units. The hollow portion 52 may be located in a light-transmitting region of the display panel, which can improve the transmittance of the display panel. Furthermore, the orthogonal projection of the hollow portion 52 onto the base substrate and the orthogonal projection of the connecting line 410 onto the base substrate may overlap, which can reduce the coupling effect between the power supply line VDD and the second initial signal line Vinit2. The hollow portion 52 may include a closed-loop hollow portion 522 and a non-closed-loop hollow portion 521.
[0079] The present exemplary embodiment also provides a display device including the above-mentioned display panel, which may be a display device of a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, etc.
