[0023] According to any of the above embodiments of a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention further includes an emissive layer located on the array substrate side and an isolation structure, wherein the emissive layer includes an emissive unit, and the isolation structure includes a main body and an isolation opening opened in the main body, and the orthogonal projection of the emissive unit onto the array substrate is located within the orthogonal projection of the isolation opening onto the array substrate.

[0025] In the display panel according to this application, the signals in the first signal line and the third signal line are the same, and a first overlap region is formed at their intersection and electrically connected, thereby forming a mesh-like structure between the first signal line and the third signal line. Because the orthographic projection of the first overlap region onto the substrate and the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture onto the substrate do not overlap, electrical connection between the first signal line and the third signal line can be achieved in the first overlap region via a via hole. Since the via hole is not located within the pixel aperture region, the presence of the via hole does not cause display defects in the light-emitting unit corresponding to the pixel aperture due to the film layer above the via hole being non-flat. The signals in the second signal line and the fourth signal line are the same, and a fourth overlap region is formed at their intersection and electrically connected, thereby forming a mesh-like structure between the second signal line and the fourth signal line. The orthographic projection of the fourth overlap region onto the substrate and the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture onto the substrate do not overlap. That is, electrical connection between the second signal line and the fourth signal line is achieved in the fourth overlap region via a via hole, and since the via hole is not located within the pixel aperture region, the presence of the via hole does not cause display defects in the light-emitting unit corresponding to the pixel aperture due to the film layer above the via hole being non-flat. A second overlap region exists between the first and fourth signal lines, and a third overlap region exists between the second and third signal lines. The first and fourth signal lines are isolated in the second overlap region, and the second and third signal lines are isolated in the third overlap region. Since the orthographic projections of the second and third overlap regions onto the substrate are at least partially located within the orthographic projection of one type of pixel aperture onto the substrate, there is no need to provide via holes at the locations of the second and third overlap regions, and this does not affect the display yield of the light-emitting unit corresponding to the pixel aperture.The display panel described in this application achieves electrical connection between the first signal line and the third signal line, and electrical connection between the second signal line and the fourth signal line, and ensures that the orthographic projection of the via holes necessary for the electrical connection onto the substrate is located outside the orthographic projection onto the pixel aperture substrate. This improves the problem of color shift caused by the presence of via holes affecting the electrode flatness of the light-emitting unit within the pixel aperture, thereby improving the display quality of the display panel.

The third overlap region 14 is the region where the orthographic projections of the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121 onto the substrate 110 overlap. The fourth overlap region 15 is the region where the orthographic projections of the second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122 onto the substrate 110 overlap.

[0037] The pixel aperture 16 is located on the side of the array substrate 11 away from the substrate 110 and toward the insulating layer, that is, on the side of the second conductive layer 112 away from the substrate 110, and the pixel aperture 16 is used to house and contain the light-emitting unit 36.

[0038] In the display panel 1 according to this application, the first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121 have the same signals and are electrically connected by forming a first overlap region 12 at their intersecting position, thereby forming a mesh-like structure between the first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121. Because the orthographic projection of the first overlap region 12 onto the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110 do not overlap, an electrical connection between the first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121 can be achieved in the first overlap region 12 via a via hole. Since the via hole is not located within the area of ​​the pixel aperture 16, the presence of the via hole does not cause display defects in the light-emitting unit 36 ​​corresponding to the pixel aperture 16 due to the film layer above the via hole being non-flat.

[0039] The second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122 have the same signals, and a fourth overlap region 15 is formed at their intersection, electrically connecting them. This creates a mesh-like structure between the second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122. The orthographic projection of the fourth overlap region 15 onto the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110 do not overlap. That is, electrical connection between the second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122 is achieved in the fourth overlap region 15 via a via hole, and since the via hole is not located within the area of ​​the pixel aperture 16, the presence of the via hole does not cause display defects in the light-emitting unit 36 ​​corresponding to the pixel aperture 16 due to the film layer above the via hole being non-flat.

[0040] A second overlap region 13 exists between the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122, and a third overlap region 14 exists between the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121. The first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122 are isolated in the second overlap region 13, and / or the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121 are isolated in the third overlap region 14. The orthographic projections of the second overlap region 13 and the third overlap region 14 onto the substrate 110 are such that at least a portion of each lies within the orthographic projection of one type of pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110. This eliminates the need to provide via holes at the locations of the second overlap region 13 and / or the third overlap region 14, thereby reducing the number of via holes and reducing the impact on the display yield of the light-emitting unit 36 ​​corresponding to the pixel aperture 16.

[0041] The display panel 1 according to this application achieves that the third signal line 1121 and the fourth signal line 1122 transmit the same signal, the first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121 are electrically connected, and the second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122 are electrically connected. Furthermore, the display panel 1 is configured such that most or all of the orthographic projection of the via holes necessary for the electrical connection onto the substrate 110 is located outside the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110. This improves the problem of color shift caused by the presence of via holes affecting the electrode flatness of the light-emitting unit 36 ​​within the pixel aperture 16, thereby improving the display quality of the display panel 1.

[0042] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the pixel aperture 16 includes a first pixel aperture 161, and the orthographic projections of the second overlap region 13 and the third overlap region 14 onto the substrate 110 are each at least partially located within the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110.

[0043] Furthermore, the orthographic projections of the first overlap region 12 and the fourth overlap region 15 onto the substrate 110 are both located outside the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the pixel aperture 16 is used to contain the light-emitting unit 36. The light-emitting unit 36 ​​may include a red light-emitting unit, a green light-emitting unit, and a blue light-emitting unit, with the blue light-emitting unit having the largest area and the most serious impact of its color shift on the yield of the display panel 1. The first pixel aperture 161 may be used to accommodate the blue light-emitting unit.

[0045] The orthographic projections of the second overlap region 13 and the third overlap region 14 onto the substrate 110 are set so that at least a portion of each is located within the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110. Since there is no need to provide via holes at the locations of the second overlap region 13 and / or the third overlap region 14, the impact on the planarization of the upper film layer of the second overlap region 13 and / or the third overlap region 14 is reduced, the yield of the blue light-emitting units is guaranteed, and the problem of display defects in the blue light-emitting units corresponding to the first pixel aperture 161 caused by the upper film layer being uneven due to via holes can be improved.

[0046] On the other hand, because the first pixel aperture 161 is large, the orthographic projections of the second overlap region 13 and the third overlap region 14 onto the substrate 110 are set so that at least a portion of each is located within the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110, thereby easily simplifying the difficulty of wiring and ensuring sufficient spacing between wires. In one feasible embodiment, the display panel 1 may further include a pixel definition layer for defining the pixel aperture 16, formed on the side of the first conductive layer 111 and the second conductive layer 112 that is further away from the substrate 110.

[0047] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the pixel aperture 16 further includes a second pixel aperture 162, the first pixel aperture 161 and the second pixel aperture 162 are arranged alternately along a second direction y, and the first pixel aperture 161 and the second pixel aperture 162 are further arranged alternately along a first direction x, and the first overlap region 12 and the fourth overlap region 15 are located between adjacent first pixel apertures 161 and second pixel apertures 162 along the second direction y. That is, by providing via holes between the first pixel aperture 161 and the second pixel aperture 162 to realize electrical connections between a first signal line 1111 and a third signal line 1121, and via holes to realize electrical connections between a second signal line 1112 and a fourth signal line 1122, the adverse effects on different color light-emitting units 36 due to the non-flatness of the upper film layer caused by the via holes can be reduced, and the display effect can be improved.

[0048] Specifically, the second pixel aperture 162 may be used to house a red light-emitting unit.

[0049] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, a plurality of first pixel apertures 161 and second pixel apertures 162 are arranged alternately along a second direction y to form a first pixel row, where a first overlap region 12 and a third overlap region 14 are located in one of two adjacent first pixel rows, and a second overlap region 13 and a fourth overlap region 15 are located in the other first pixel row, thereby having in each pixel row one of the first overlap region 12 and the fourth overlap region 15 and one of the second overlap region 13 or the third overlap region 14, where electrical connection is achieved in the first overlap region 12 and the fourth overlap region 15, and isolation is achieved in the second overlap region 13 and / or the third overlap region 14. Accordingly, in the above embodiment, the first overlap region 12 and the fourth overlap region 15 for achieving electrical connection, and the second overlap region 13 and / or third overlap region 14 used for insulation are alternately provided along the first direction x and the second direction y, thereby improving the uniformity of the display panel 1.

[0050] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the pixel aperture 16 further includes a third pixel aperture 163, the plurality of third pixel apertures 163 arranged along a second direction y to form a second pixel row, and the first and second pixel rows are arranged alternately along a first direction x.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the third pixel aperture 163 may be used to form a green light-emitting unit.

[0052] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, two first pixel apertures 161 and two second pixel apertures 162 are provided on the periphery of the third pixel aperture 163, and the two first pixel apertures 161 and two second pixel apertures 162 are alternately distributed on the periphery of the third pixel aperture 163. This pixel arrangement method can achieve a better light mixing effect.

[0053] In the above pixel arrangement method, the display panel 1 contains multiple virtual quadrilaterals C, which are arranged in a matrix. In each virtual quadrilateral C, two opposing vertices each coincide with the center of the first pixel aperture 161, and the other two opposing vertices each coincide with the center of the second pixel aperture 162.

[0054] In the above pixel arrangement scheme, the orthographic projection of the first signal line 1111 onto the substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the second pixel aperture 162 and the third pixel aperture 163 onto the substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the first signal line 1111 onto the substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110 along the first direction x.

[0055] The orthographic projection of the second signal line 1112 onto substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the second pixel aperture 162 and the third pixel aperture 163 onto substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the second signal line 1112 onto substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto substrate 110 along the first direction x.

[0056] The orthographic projection of the third signal line 1121 onto substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the third pixel aperture 163 onto substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the third signal line 1121 onto substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the second pixel aperture 162 onto substrate 110 along the second direction y.

[0057] The orthographic projection of the fourth signal line 1122 onto substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the third pixel aperture 163 onto substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the fourth signal line 1122 onto substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the second pixel aperture 162 onto substrate 110 along the second direction y.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first signal line 1111 onto the substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the second pixel aperture 162 and the third pixel aperture 163 onto the substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the first signal line 1111 onto the substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110 along the first direction x. The orthographic projection of the third signal line 1121 onto the substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the third pixel aperture 163 onto the substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the third signal line 1121 onto the substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the second pixel aperture 162 onto the substrate 110 along the second direction y.

[0059] The orthographic projection of one first signal line 1111 or one second signal line 1112 onto the substrate 110 can pass through the same virtual quadrilateral C, and the orthographic projection of the first signal line 1111 onto the substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the second pixel aperture 162 and the third pixel aperture 163 onto the substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the third signal line 1121 onto the substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the second pixel aperture 162 onto the substrate 110 along the second direction y, thereby passing through the first signal line 1111 The first overlap region 12, formed to overlap with the third signal line 1121, can be positioned between the second pixel aperture 162 and the first pixel aperture 161 along the second direction y, thereby preventing the orthographic projection of the first overlap region 12 onto the substrate 110 from overlapping with the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110. By positioning the first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121 to be electrically connected at the location of the first overlap region 12, it is possible to prevent affecting the flatness of the electrodes of the light-emitting unit 36 ​​corresponding to the pixel aperture 16 and improve color shift.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second signal line 1112 onto the substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the second pixel aperture 162 and the third pixel aperture 163 onto the substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the second signal line 1112 onto the substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110 along the first direction x. The orthographic projection of the fourth signal line 1122 onto the substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the third pixel aperture 163 onto the substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the fourth signal line 1122 onto the substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the second pixel aperture 162 onto the substrate 110 along the second direction y.

[0061] The orthographic projection of one first signal line 1111 or one second signal line 1112 onto the substrate 110 can pass through the same virtual quadrilateral C orthographic projection onto the substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the second signal line 1112 onto the substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second pixel aperture 162 and the third pixel aperture 163 onto the substrate 110, but overlaps only with the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110, so that the orthographic projection of the fourth signal line 1122 onto the substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projections of the first pixel aperture 161 and the second pixel aperture 162 onto the substrate 110 along the second direction y, and then passes through the second signal line 1 The fourth overlap region 15 can be formed with 112, and the orthographic projection of the fourth overlap region 15 onto the substrate 110 is located between the orthographic projections of the second pixel aperture 162 and the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110, so that the orthographic projection of the fourth overlap region 15 onto the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110 do not overlap. The second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122 are set to be electrically connected at the location of the second overlap region 13, thereby preventing an impact on the flatness of the electrodes of the light-emitting unit 36 ​​corresponding to the pixel aperture 16 and improving color shift.

[0062] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122 are insulated in the second overlap region 13, and the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121 are insulated in the third overlap region 14.

[0063] In the above embodiment, since the signal lines in the second overlap region 13 and the third overlap region 14 are both insulated, in the display panel 1, the orthographic projections of the first overlap region 12 and the fourth overlap region 15 for electrical connection onto the substrate 110 are both located outside the pixel aperture 16. Since the signal lines in the second overlap region 13 and the third overlap region 14, where the orthographic projection onto the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110 overlap, are both insulated, via holes for electrical connection can completely avoid the pixel aperture 16 region, the influence of via holes for electrical connection on the color shift of the light-emitting unit 36 ​​within the pixel aperture 16 can be minimized, and display quality can be improved.

[0064] In another feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122 are isolated in the second overlap region 13, and the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121 are electrically connected in the third overlap region 14. This increases the number of connection points between the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121, and further improves the electrical connection effect between the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121.

[0065] In another feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122 are electrically connected in a second overlap region 13, and the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121 are isolated in a third overlap region 14. This increases the number of connection points between the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122, and further improves the electrical connection effect between the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122.

[0066] In another feasible embodiment, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122 are isolated in a portion of the second overlap region 13 and electrically connected in a portion of the preset second overlap region 13, and the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121 are isolated in a portion of the third overlap region 14 and electrically connected in a portion of the preset third overlap region 14. This increases the number of connection points between the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122, and between the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121, further improving the electrical connection effect between the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121, and further improving the electrical connection effect between the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122.

[0067] In the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, the sum of the number of pre-set second overlap regions 13 and pre-set third overlap regions 14 is half the sum of the number of second overlap regions 13 and third overlap regions 14, or, as shown in Figure 8, the sum of the number of pre-set second overlap regions 13 and pre-set third overlap regions 14 is one-quarter of the sum of the number of second overlap regions 13 and third overlap regions 14. Therefore, the number of connection points can be reduced by half or three-quarters, and the color misalignment problem can be improved to some extent.

[0068] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the first conductive layer 111 further includes a fifth signal line 1113 and a sixth signal line 1114 extending along a first direction x, and the second conductive layer 112 further includes a seventh signal line 1123 and an eighth signal line 1124 extending along a second direction y, the fifth signal line 1113 and the sixth signal line 1114 are arranged along the second direction y, the seventh signal line 1123 and the eighth signal line 1124 are arranged along the first direction x, and the seventh signal line 1123 and the eighth signal line 1124 transmit the same signal.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the third signal line 1121 and the fourth signal line 1122 transmit the same signal and intersect with the first signal line 1111 and the second signal line 1112 to form a network for transmitting one type of signal, while the seventh signal line 1123 and the eighth signal line 1124 transmit the same signal and intersect with the fifth signal line 1113 and the sixth signal line 1114 to form a network for transmitting another type of signal.

[0070] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the third signal line 1121 and the fourth signal line 1122 are provided adjacent to each other along the first direction x, the seventh signal line 1123 and the eighth signal line 1124 are provided adjacent to each other along the first direction x, the fifth signal line 1113 is located between the adjacent first signal line 1111 and the second signal line 1112, the sixth signal line 1114 is located between the adjacent first signal line 1111 and the second signal line 1112, and the first signal line 1111 or the second signal line 1112 is provided between the fifth signal line 1113 and the sixth signal line 1114.

[0071] In the above embodiment, by installing the third signal line 1121 and the fourth signal line 1122 adjacent to each other along the first direction x, and installing the seventh signal line 1123 and the eighth signal line 1124 adjacent to each other along the first direction x, it is possible to ensure insulation at the positions of the second overlap region 13 and the third overlap region 14, and to ensure that the third signal line 1121 and the fourth signal line 1122 are each formed in a mesh pattern.

[0072] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the orthographic projection of the fifth signal line 1113 onto the substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the first pixel aperture 161 and the second pixel aperture 162 onto the substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the first signal line 1111 onto the substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the third pixel aperture 163 onto the substrate 110 along the first direction x.

[0073] The orthographic projection of the sixth signal line 1114 onto substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projections of the first pixel aperture 161 and the second pixel aperture 162 onto substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the sixth signal line 1114 onto substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the third pixel aperture 163 onto substrate 110 along the first direction x.

[0074] The orthographic projection of the seventh signal line 1123 onto substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the third pixel aperture 163 onto substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the seventh signal line 1123 onto substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the second pixel aperture 162 onto substrate 110 along the second direction y.

[0075] The orthographic projection of the eighth signal line 1124 onto substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the third pixel aperture 163 onto substrate 110, and the orthographic projection of the eighth signal line 1124 onto substrate 110 passes through the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the second pixel aperture 162 onto substrate 110 along the second direction y.

[0076] In the above embodiment, since neither the fifth signal line 1113 nor the sixth signal line 1114 passes through the first pixel aperture 161 or the second pixel aperture 162, the electrical connection positions of the fifth signal line 1113, the sixth signal line 1114, the seventh signal line 1123, and the eighth signal line 1124 can be set between the first pixel aperture 161 and the second pixel aperture 162, which are arranged along the second direction y, and this does not affect the light emission yield of the light-emitting unit 36 ​​within the pixel aperture 16.

[0077] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, a fifth overlap region 19 exists between the fifth signal line 1113 and the seventh signal line 1123, a sixth overlap region 20 exists between the fifth signal line 1113 and the eighth signal line 1124, a seventh overlap region 21 exists between the sixth signal line 1114 and the seventh signal line 1123, an eighth overlap region 22 exists between the sixth signal line 1114 and the eighth signal line 1124, and the fifth signal line 111 Signal line 3 and the seventh signal line 1123 are electrically connected in the fifth overlap region 19, signal line 6 and signal line 8 are electrically connected in the eighth overlap region 22, and / or signal line 5 and signal line 8 are electrically connected in the sixth overlap region 20, and signal line 6 and signal line 7 are electrically connected in the seventh overlap region 21.

[0078] In the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the fifth overlap region 19, the sixth overlap region 20, the seventh overlap region 21, and the eighth overlap region 22 may all be electrically connected overlap regions. Alternatively, they may be overlap regions that are partially insulated and partially electrically connected, provided that the fifth signal line 1113, the eighth signal line 1124, the sixth signal line 1114, and the seventh signal line 1123 are arranged in a mesh pattern. Specifically, this may consist of one mesh pattern or two mesh patterns. Specifically, as shown in Figure 10, the fifth signal line 1113 and the seventh signal line 1123 are electrically connected in the fifth overlap region 19, the fifth signal line 1113 and the eighth signal line 1124 are isolated in the sixth overlap region 20, the sixth signal line 1114 and the seventh signal line 1123 are isolated in the seventh overlap region 21, and the sixth signal line 1114 and the eighth signal line 1124 are electrically connected in the eighth overlap region 22.

[0079] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the first signal line 1111 further includes a first extension 17, the first extension 17 being connected to a second overlap region 13 and aligned with the second overlap region 13 along a second direction y, the orthographic projection of the first extension 17 onto the substrate 110 being at least partially outside the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110, the first extension 17 being electrically connected to a fourth signal line 1122 via a first through-hole, the orthographic projection of the first through-hole onto the substrate 110 not overlapping with the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110.

[0080] In the above embodiment, by providing a first through-hole in the first extension portion 17, an electrical connection between the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122 can be achieved. Specifically, the first through-hole is formed in the first extension portion 17, and the first extension portion 17 is connected to the second overlap region 13, thereby increasing the overlap area between the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122. The first extension portion 17 moves the position where the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122 overlap to form the first through-hole outside the orthogonal projection onto the substrate 110 of the pixel aperture 16, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122, and ensuring that the first through-hole does not affect the color shift of the light-emitting unit 36 ​​within the pixel aperture 16.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the fifth signal line 1113 includes a first partition region for accommodating the first extension 17, and at least a portion of the first extension 17 is located in the first partition region.

[0082] Because the distance between the fifth signal line 1113 and the first signal line 1111 is short, providing a first partition region on the fifth signal line 1113 provides the conditions for accommodating the first extension 17 and providing a first through hole in the first extension 17.

[0083] In one feasible embodiment, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, the second signal line 1112 further includes a second extension 18 connected to a third overlap region 14 and aligned with the third overlap region 14 along a second direction y, wherein the orthographic projection of the second extension 18 onto the substrate 110 is at least partially outside the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110, the second extension 18 is electrically connected to the third signal line 1121 via a second through-hole, and the orthographic projection of the second through-hole onto the substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first pixel aperture 161 onto the substrate 110.

[0084] In the above embodiment, by providing a second through-hole in the second extension portion 18, electrical connection between the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121 can be achieved. Specifically, the second through-hole is formed in the second extension portion 18, and the second extension portion 18 is connected to the third overlap region 14, thereby increasing the overlap area between the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121. The second extension portion 18 moves the position where the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121 overlap to form the second through-hole outside the orthogonal projection onto the substrate 110 of the pixel aperture 16, thereby achieving electrical connection between the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121, and preventing the second through-hole from affecting the color shift of the light-emitting unit 36 ​​within the pixel aperture 16.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the sixth signal line 1114 includes a second partition region for accommodating the second extension 18, and at least a portion of the second extension 18 is located in the second partition region.

[0086] Because the distance between the sixth signal line 1114 and the second signal line 1112 is short, providing a second partition region in the sixth signal line 1114 provides the conditions for accommodating the second extension 18 and providing a second through-hole in the second extension 18.

[0105] This application further provides a display panel 1, as shown in Figure 16, the display panel 1 includes an array substrate 11, the array substrate 11 includes a substrate 110 and a first semiconductor layer 23, a first metal layer 24, a second metal layer 25, a second semiconductor layer 26, a third metal layer 27, a fourth metal layer 28, and a fifth metal layer 29, which are laminated along a direction away from the substrate 110.

[0106] Here, the array substrate 11 includes a first type transistor, a second type transistor, and a capacitor, the first semiconductor layer 23 is used to form the source region, drain region, and channel region of the first type transistor, the first metal layer 24 is used to form the gate of the first type transistor and the first plate of the capacitor, the second metal layer 25 is used to form the bottom gate of the second type transistor, the second semiconductor layer 26 is used to form the source region, drain region, and channel region of the second type transistor, the third metal layer 27 is used to form the top gate of the second type transistor, and the fourth metal layer 28 is used to form the source electrode and drain electrode of the first type transistor and the second type transistor.

[0107] A first signal line 1111 and a second signal line 1112 are formed in one of the first metal layer 24, the second metal layer 25, the fourth metal layer 28, and the third metal layer 27, extending along a first direction x, and the first signal line 1111 and the second signal line 1112 are arranged along a second direction y. A third signal line 1121 and a fourth signal line 1122 are formed in the fifth metal layer 29, extending along a second direction y, and the third signal line 1121 and the fourth signal line 1122 are arranged along the first direction x, the first direction x and the second direction y intersect, and the third signal line 1121 and the fourth signal line 1122 transmit the same signal.

[0108] Along the direction perpendicular to the substrate 110, there is a first overlap region 12 between the first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121, a second overlap region 13 between the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122, a third overlap region 14 between the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121, and a fourth overlap region 15 between the second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122. The first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121 are electrically connected in the first overlap region 12, and the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122 are electrically connected in the second overlap region 13. The second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121 are insulated in the third overlap region 14, and the second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122 are electrically connected in the fourth overlap region 15, and the orthographic projections of the first overlap region 12 and the fourth overlap region 15 onto the substrate 110 are both located outside the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110, and the orthographic projections of the second overlap region 13 and the third overlap region 14 onto the substrate 110 are both located at least partially within the orthographic projection of one type of pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110.

[0109] In the display panel 1 according to this application, the first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121 have the same signals and are electrically connected by forming a first overlap region 12 at their intersecting position, thereby forming a mesh-like structure between the first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121. The orthographic projection of the first overlap region 12 onto the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110 do not overlap, so that electrical connection between the first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121 can be achieved in the first overlap region 12 via a via hole. Since the via hole is not located within the area of ​​the pixel aperture 16, the presence of the via hole does not cause display defects in the light-emitting unit 36 ​​corresponding to the pixel aperture 16 due to the film layer above the via hole being non-flat.

[0110] The second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122 have the same signals and are electrically connected by a fourth overlap region 15 formed at their intersection, thereby forming a mesh-like structure between the second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122. The orthographic projection of the fourth overlap region 15 onto the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110 do not overlap. That is, electrical connection between the second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122 is achieved in the fourth overlap region 15 via a via hole, and since the via hole is not located within the area of ​​the pixel aperture 16, the presence of the via hole does not cause display defects in the light-emitting unit 36 ​​corresponding to the pixel aperture 16 due to the film layer above the via hole being non-flat.

[0111] A second overlap region 13 exists between the first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122, and a third overlap region 14 exists between the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121. The first signal line 1111 and the fourth signal line 1122 are isolated in the second overlap region 13, and / or the second signal line 1112 and the third signal line 1121 are isolated in the third overlap region 14. The orthographic projections of the second overlap region 13 and the third overlap region 14 onto the substrate 110 are such that at least a portion of each lies within the orthographic projection of one type of pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110. This eliminates the need to provide via holes at the locations of the second overlap region 13 and / or the third overlap region 14, thereby reducing the number of via holes and reducing the impact on the display yield of the light-emitting unit 36 ​​corresponding to the pixel aperture 16.

[0112] The display panel 1 according to this application achieves that the third signal line 1121 and the fourth signal line 1122 transmit the same signal, the first signal line 1111 and the third signal line 1121 are electrically connected, and the second signal line 1112 and the fourth signal line 1122 are electrically connected. Furthermore, the display panel 1 is configured such that most or all of the orthographic projection of the via holes necessary for the electrical connection onto the substrate 110 is located outside the orthographic projection of the pixel aperture 16 onto the substrate 110. This improves the problem of color shift caused by the presence of via holes affecting the electrode flatness of the light-emitting unit 36 ​​within the pixel aperture 16, thereby improving the display quality of the display panel 1.
