[0124] Details

[0125] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. Unless there is a conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits detailed descriptions of some known functions and known components. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only involve structures related to the embodiments of the present disclosure. Other structures can refer to the general design

[0126] The scales of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference for actual processes, but are not limited to such. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of the various film layers, and the width and spacing of the various signal lines can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are merely schematic structural diagrams, and one embodiment of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the figures.

[0127] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number.

[0128] In this specification, for convenience, words and phrases indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside," are used to illustrate the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.

[0129] In this specification, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure.

[0130] In this specification, a transistor refers to a device that includes 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 current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0131] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or vice versa. The functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged.

[0132] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transfer of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.

[0133] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. Furthermore, "perpendicular" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.

[0134] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced with "insulating layer."

[0135] In this specification, the term "same-layer arrangement" refers to a structure formed by patterning two (or more) structures using the same patterning process. The materials of these structures can be the same or different. For example, the precursor materials for forming the multiple structures arranged in the same layer can be the same, and the materials of the final structures can be the same or different.

[0136] The triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons in this specification are not in the strict sense, but may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons, etc. There may be some small deformations caused by tolerances, and there may be chamfers, arc edges and deformations.

[0137] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly defined and allows for process and measurement errors.

As shown in FIG1 , the display device may include: a timing controller (not shown in the figure) located in the non-display area 1, a data driving circuit 30 and a gate driving circuit 20, and the display device also includes: a display substrate 40.

[0140] In an exemplary embodiment, the data drive circuit 30 may generate a data voltage to be provided to the data signal line DL using a grayscale value and a control signal received from a timing controller. For example, the data drive circuit 30 may sample the grayscale value using a clock signal and apply a data voltage corresponding to the grayscale value to the data signal line D on a pixel row basis. The gate drive circuit 20 may generate a scan signal to be provided to the scan signal line GL by receiving a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. from the timing controller. For example, the gate drive circuit 20 may sequentially provide a scan signal having an on-level pulse to the scan signal line GL. For example, the gate drive circuit 20 may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate a scan signal by sequentially transmitting a scan start signal provided in the form of an on-level pulse to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal.

Figure 7 illustrates an example in which the first to eleventh transistors M1 to M11, the first to fourth output transistors M51 to M54, and the first to fourth noise reduction transistors M61 to M64 are all N-type transistors.

[0178] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal at any one of the first clock signal terminal CKA, the second clock signal terminal CKD, and the first output clock signal terminal CKE1 through the fourth output clock signal terminal CKE4 is a square wave signal that repeats high and low voltages. For example, the second clock signal terminal CKD and the first output clock signal terminal CKE1 through the fourth output clock signal terminal CKE4 may have the same period and may be configured as phase-shifted signals. Here, the signal at the second clock signal terminal CKE2 may be phase-shifted by half a period compared to the signal at the first clock signal terminal CKE1. The signal at the third clock signal terminal CKE3 may be phase-shifted by half a period compared to the signal at the second clock signal terminal CKE2. The signal at the fourth clock signal terminal CKE4 may be phase-shifted by half a period compared to the signal at the third clock signal terminal CKE3. The high voltage period in each period of the signal at at least one of the first output clock signal terminal CKE1 through the fourth output clock signal terminal CKE4 may be set to be longer than the low voltage period.

[0179] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal of the first low-level power supply terminal VGL1 is a DC signal and is continuously a low-level signal.

[0180] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal of the second low-level power supply terminal VGL2 is a DC signal and is continuously a low-level signal. The absolute value of the voltage of the signal of the second low-level power supply terminal VGL2 is greater than the absolute value of the voltage of the signal of the first low-level power supply terminal VGL1.

[0181] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal of the DC high-level power supply terminal VDD1 is a DC signal and is continuously a high-level signal.

[0182] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal of the AC high-level power supply terminal VDD2 is an AC signal, and the signal is a high-level signal in a partial time period and a low-level signal in a partial time period.

[0183] In an exemplary embodiment, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, and any of the capacitors in all the driver output subcircuits can be capacitor devices manufactured by a process. For example, the capacitor device can be realized by making a special capacitor electrode, and the multiple capacitor electrodes of the capacitor can be realized by a metal layer, a semiconductor layer (such as doped polysilicon), etc. Alternatively, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, and any of the capacitors in all the driver output subcircuits can be parasitic capacitances between multiple devices, and can be realized by the transistor itself and other devices and circuits. The connection method of the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, and any of the capacitors in all the driver output subcircuits includes but is not limited to the method described above, and can be other applicable connection methods, and the level of the corresponding node can be stored. Here, the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0184] In an exemplary embodiment, the shift register's operating process includes: a display phase and a sensing phase. During the display phase, the second pull-up sub-circuit provides a signal to the pull-up node PU, and during the sensing phase, the first pull-up sub-circuit provides a signal to the pull-up node PU. FIG8 is an operating timing diagram of the shift register provided in FIG7 . As shown in FIG8 , the shift register's operating process during the display phase may include:

[0185] In the first phase S1, the input phase, the signal at the first signal input terminal INPUT1 is a high-level signal, and the signals at the second clock signal terminal CKD and the first to fourth output clock signal terminals CKE1 to CKE4 are low-level signals. The signal at the first signal input terminal INPUT1 is a high-level signal, the fourth transistor M4 is turned on, the signal at the DC high-level power supply terminal VDD1 is written to the pull-up node PU, and the signal at the pull-up node PU is a high-level signal. The fifth transistor M5 and the first to fourth drive output transistors M51 to M54 are turned on, and the signals at the second clock signal terminal CKD and the first to fourth output clock signal terminals CKE1 to CKE4 are written to the cascade signal output terminal CR and the first to fourth drive signal output terminals OUT1 to OUT4, respectively. The cascade signal output terminal CR and the first to fourth drive signal output terminals OUT1 to OUT4 do not output.

[0186] In the second stage S2, the first output stage, the signal at the first output clock signal terminal CKE1 is a high-level signal, and the signals at the second output clock signal terminals CKE2 to the fourth output clock signal terminals CKE4 are low-level signals. The signal at the pull-up node PU remains high-level due to the action of the second capacitor C2 and the first output capacitors OC1 to the fourth output capacitors OC4. The first drive output transistors M51 to the fourth drive output transistors M54 are turned on, and the high-level signal at the first output clock signal terminal CKE1 is written to the first drive signal output terminal OUT1. In this stage, the first drive signal output terminal OUT1 outputs a drive signal.

[0187] In the third stage S3, the second output stage, the signal at the second output clock signal terminal CKE2 is a high-level signal, while the signals at the first output clock signal terminal CKE1, the third output clock signal terminal CKE3, and the fourth output clock signal terminal CKE4 are low-level signals. The signal at the pull-up node PU remains high-level due to the action of the second capacitor C2 and the first to fourth output capacitors OC1 to OC4. The first to fourth drive output transistors M51 to M54 are turned on, and the high-level signal at the second output clock signal terminal CKE2 is written to the second drive signal output terminal OUT2. In this stage, the second drive signal output terminal OUT2 outputs the drive signal.

[0188] In the fourth stage S4, the third output stage, the signal at the third output clock signal terminal CKE3 is a high-level signal, while the signals at the first output clock signal terminal CKE1, the second output clock signal terminal CKE2, and the fourth output clock signal terminal CKE4 are low-level signals. The signal at the pull-up node PU remains high-level due to the action of the second capacitor C2 and the first to fourth output capacitors OC1 to OC4. The first to fourth drive output transistors M51 to M54 are turned on, and the high-level signal at the third output clock signal terminal CKE3 is written to the third drive signal output terminal OUT3. In this stage, the third drive signal output terminal OUT3 outputs a drive signal.

[0189] In the fifth stage S5, the fourth output stage, the signal at the fourth output clock signal terminal CKE4 is a high-level signal, and the signals at the first output clock signal terminal CKE1 to the third output clock signal terminal CKE3 are low-level signals. The signal at the pull-up node PU remains high-level due to the action of the second capacitor C2 and the first output capacitor OC1 to the fourth output capacitor OC4. The first drive output transistor M51 to the fourth drive output transistor M54 are turned on, and the high-level signal at the fourth output clock signal terminal CKE4 is written to the fourth drive signal output terminal OUT4. In this stage, the fourth drive signal output terminal OUT4 outputs a drive signal.

[0190] In an exemplary embodiment, time periods of driving signals output by adjacent output stages overlap.

[0191] The time period from the second stage S2 to the fifth stage S5 may be referred to as a display driving pulse output period.

[0192] In an exemplary embodiment, the second clock signal terminal CKD may be a high-level signal in one of the second stage S2 to the fifth stage S5 , so that the cascade signal output terminal CR outputs the cascade signal.

[0193] In an exemplary embodiment, after the display drive pulse output period, the operation process of the shift register may further include a reset phase. During the reset phase, the signal at the reset signal terminal RST of at least one stage of the shift register is a high-level signal, the tenth transistor M10 is turned on, the signal at the pull-up node PU is pulled low by the signal at the first low-level power supply terminal VGL1, the fifth transistor M5 and the first to fourth output transistors M51 to M54 are turned off, and the signals at the first to fourth drive output signal terminals OUT1 to OUT4 are not affected by the signals at the first to fourth output clock signal terminals CKE1 to CKE4.

[0194] In an exemplary embodiment, after the display driving pulse output period, the operation process of the shift register may further include: a noise reduction stage. In the noise reduction stage, when the signal of the AC high-level power supply terminal VDD2 is a high-level signal, the sixth transistor M6 is turned on, the signal of the pull-down node PD is pulled high, the eighth transistor M8, the ninth transistor M9, and the first to fourth noise reduction transistors M61 to M62 are turned on, the signals of the pull-up node PU and the cascade output signal terminal CR are pulled low by the signal of the first low-level power supply terminal VGL1, and the signals of the first to fourth drive output signal terminals OUT1 to OUT4 are pulled low by the signal of the second low-level power supply terminal VGL2, thereby reducing the noise of the shift register.

[0195] In an exemplary embodiment, when the shift register is in the sensing phase, in the input phase, the signals of the detection signal terminal OE, the second signal input terminal INPUT2, and the first clock signal terminal CKA are high-level signals, the first transistor M3, the second transistor M2, and the third transistor M3 are turned on, and the signals of the first node H, the second node N, and the pull-up node PU are high-level signals.

[0196] As shown in Figure 8, when the first drive signal output terminal OUT1 of at least one stage of the shift register outputs a drive signal, that is, in the first output stage, the potential of the signal of the pull-up node PU rises from the second potential V2 to the third potential V3, and then rises from the third potential V3 to the fourth potential V4. Due to the continuous increase in the potential of the signal of the pull-up node PU, the drive signal output by the first drive signal output terminal OUT1 has a relatively obvious rising edge. This rising edge will affect the conduction time of some transistors (such as switching transistors or sensing transistors) in the pixel driving circuit, thereby affecting the display screen.

[0197] As shown in FIG8 , when the second drive signal output terminal OUT2 and the third drive signal output terminal OUT3 of at least one stage of the shift register output drive signals, that is, in the second output stage and the third output stage, the potential of the signal at the pull-up node PU remains substantially unchanged at the fourth potential V4. The reason why the potential of the signal at the pull-up node PU remains substantially unchanged at the fourth potential V4 in the second output stage is that when the second drive signal output terminal OUT2 outputs the drive signal, the potential of the signal at the pull-up node PU is pulled up by the drive signal output by the second drive signal output terminal OUT2 under the action of the second output capacitor OC2. However, at this time, the potential of the drive signal output by the first drive signal output terminal OUT1 begins to decrease. Under the action of the first output capacitor OC1, the potential of the signal at the pull-up node PU is pulled down by the drive signal output by the first drive signal output terminal OUT1. Therefore, the potential of the signal at the pull-up node PU remains unchanged in the second output stage under the action of the first output capacitor OC1 and the second output capacitor OC2. Similarly, the reason why the potential of the signal of the pull-up node PU remains basically unchanged at the level of the fourth potential V4 in the third output stage is that when the drive signal is output by the third drive signal output terminal OUT3, under the action of the third output capacitor OC3, the potential of the signal of the pull-up node PU will be pulled up by the drive signal output by the third drive signal output terminal OUT3. However, at this time, the potential of the drive signal output by the second drive signal output terminal OUT2 begins to decrease. Under the action of the second output capacitor OC2, the potential of the signal of the pull-up node PU will be pulled down by the drive signal output by the second drive signal output terminal OUT2. Therefore, the potential of the signal of the pull-up node PU remains unchanged in the third output stage under the action of the second output capacitor OC2 and the third output capacitor OC3.

[0198] As shown in FIG8 , when the fourth drive signal output terminal OUT4 of at least one shift register outputs a drive signal, that is, in the fourth output stage, the potential of the signal at the pull-up node PU decreases from the fourth potential V4 to the third potential V3. In the second half of the fourth output stage, the potential of the drive signal output by the fourth noise reduction transistor M54 begins to decrease. Under the action of the fourth output capacitor OC4, the potential of the signal at the pull-up node PU further decreases. Because no drive signal is output after the fourth drive signal output terminal OUT4 in at least one shift register unit, that is, there is no drive output sub-circuit that can increase the potential of the signal at the pull-up node PU, the potential of the pull-up node PU decreases from the fourth potential V4 to the third potential V3, and then from the third potential V3 to the second potential V2. Therefore, the drive signal output by the fourth drive signal output terminal OUT4 (also the drive signal output by the last drive signal output terminal in the shift register) has a longer falling edge. This longer falling edge affects the conduction duration of some transistors (e.g., switching transistors or sensing transistors) in the pixel driving circuit. To summarize, since the signal of the pull-up node in the shift register in the display substrate changes during the output stage, the drive signals provided by the shift register to the pixel drive circuits of different rows connected to it are also different. In particular, the brightness of the sub-pixel connected to the last drive output sub-circuit of the shift register is darker than the brightness of the sub-pixels connected to the remaining drive output sub-circuits, causing horizontal stripes to appear on the display substrate, resulting in uneven display of the display substrate and affecting the display effect of the display substrate.

[0199] FIG9 is a first structural diagram of a driving output circuit provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG10 is a second structural diagram of a driving output circuit provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a first area and a second area, the first area being provided with an array-arranged pixel driving circuit, the second area being provided with a gate driving circuit, the gate driving circuit being configured to provide a driving signal to the pixel driving circuit, the gate driving circuit including: a plurality of shift registers, at least one shift register including: a pre-circuit and a driving output circuit, the pre-circuit being electrically connected to a signal input terminal, a reset signal terminal and a cascade output signal terminal, respectively, the driving output circuit being electrically connected to N driving output signal terminals, the signal input terminal of at least one shift register being electrically connected to the cascade output signal terminal of at least one shift register, and the reset signal terminal of at least one shift register being electrically connected to the cascade output signal terminal of at least one shift register.

[0200] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit is the pixel driving circuit provided in FIG. 5 , and the shift register is the shift register provided in FIG. 7 .

[0201] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, a drive output circuit includes N drive output sub-circuits, with the nth drive output sub-circuit electrically connected to the nth drive output signal terminal. During at least one display frame, the start time of the drive signal output by the Nth drive output signal terminal is later than the start time of the drive signal output by at least one of the first to the N-1th drive output signal terminals, where N > 2 and 1 ≤ n ≤ N. Figures 9 and 10 are illustrated using N = 4 as an example. Exemplarily, the start time of the drive signal output by the nth drive output signal terminal is later than the start time of the drive signal output by the (n-1)th drive output signal terminal, i.e., the start time of the drive signal output by the second drive output signal terminal is later than the start time of the drive signal output by the first drive output signal terminal, the start time of the drive signal output by the third drive output signal terminal is later than the start time of the drive signal output by the second drive output signal terminal, and the start time of the drive signal output by the fourth drive output signal terminal is later than the start time of the drive signal output by the third drive output signal terminal.

[0202] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the area of ​​the Nth driver output sub-circuit is larger than the area of ​​at least one of the first to N-1th driver output sub-circuits. For example, the first driver output sub-circuit includes a first output transistor M51, a first output capacitor OC1, and a first noise reduction transistor M61; the second driver output sub-circuit includes a second output transistor M52, a second output capacitor OC2, and a second noise reduction transistor M62; the third driver output sub-circuit includes a third output transistor M53, a third output capacitor OC3, and a third noise reduction transistor M63; and the fourth driver output sub-circuit includes a fourth output transistor M54, a fourth output capacitor OC4, and a fourth noise reduction transistor M64.

[0203] The present disclosure improves the driving capability of the Nth drive output subcircuit by setting the area of ​​the Nth drive output subcircuit that outputs the drive signal the latest to be larger than the area of ​​at least one drive output subcircuit from the first drive output subcircuit to the N-1th drive output subcircuit, thereby reducing the duration of the time period in which the falling edge of the drive signal output by the Nth drive output subcircuit occurs, improving the horizontal stripe phenomenon of the display substrate, and enhancing the display effect of the display substrate.

[0204] In an exemplary embodiment, a display substrate may include: a base and a driving structure layer disposed on the base, wherein a gate driving circuit and a pixel driving circuit are located in the driving structure layer, the driving structure layer including: a semiconductor layer, a first conductive layer, and a second conductive layer sequentially stacked on the base, at least one driving output sub-circuit including: an output transistor, a noise reduction transistor, and an output capacitor, the transistor including: an active pattern, a gate electrode, a first electrode, and a second electrode, and the capacitor including: a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate;

For example, the area of ​​the fourth output transistor M54 is larger than the area of ​​at least one of the first through third output transistors M51 through M53, and the area of ​​the fourth output capacitor OC4 is equal to the area of ​​at least one of the first through third output capacitors OC1 through OC3.

[0209] In an exemplary embodiment, the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the active pattern of the output transistor in the Nth driver output sub-circuit is greater than the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the active pattern of the output transistor in at least one of the first through N-1th driver output sub-circuits, thereby increasing the drive capability of the output transistor in the Nth driver output sub-circuit. Exemplarily, the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the active pattern of the fourth output transistor M54 is greater than the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the active pattern of at least one of the first through third output transistors M51 through M53.

[0210] In an exemplary embodiment, the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the active pattern of the output transistor in the first driver output sub-circuit is greater than the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the active pattern of the output transistor in at least one of the second to N-1th driver output sub-circuits. Exemplarily, the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the active pattern of the first output transistor M51 is greater than the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the active pattern of the second and third output transistors M52 and M53.

[0211] In an exemplary embodiment, the width-to-length ratios of the channel regions of the active patterns of the output transistors in at least two of the second through N-1th driver output sub-circuits are equal, ensuring consistent driving capabilities across the second through N-1th driver output sub-circuits and ensuring display uniformity across the display substrate. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the active pattern of the second output transistor M52 is equal to the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the active pattern of the third output transistor M53.

[0212] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, in at least one driver output sub-circuit, at least a portion of the gate electrode of the output transistor is a ring structure, at least a portion of the first electrode of the output transistor is a ring structure, the gate electrode of the output transistor surrounds the first electrode of the output transistor, and the second electrode of the output transistor is disposed on at least one side of the gate electrode of the output transistor.

[0251] In an exemplary embodiment, FIG12 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure within the first region of the display substrate, and FIG13 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure within the first region of the display substrate. As shown in FIG12 and FIG13 , the first region is provided with at least one first signal line and at least one second signal line. The pixel drive circuit is electrically connected to the first signal line and the second signal line, respectively. The first signal line extends at least partially along the first direction D1, and the second signal line extends at least partially along the second direction D2. The first signal line includes at least a scan signal line GL, and the second signal line includes at least a first power line VDD, a sense signal line Sense, and a data signal line Data. At least one drive output sub-circuit in the shift register is electrically connected to the at least one first signal line.

Alternatively, the first signal line and the second signal line may be located in other film layers, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0253] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG12 and FIG13 , at least one scan signal line GL includes a plurality of signal connection lines GLA and a plurality of signal overlapping lines GLB. The plurality of signal connection lines GLA and the plurality of signal overlapping lines GLB are alternately arranged along a first direction D1. The signal connection lines GLA are arranged along the first direction D1, and an orthographic projection of the signal overlapping lines GLB on the substrate overlaps an orthographic projection of at least one second signal line on the substrate by at least 10%.

[0254] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG12 and FIG13 , the line width of the signal connection line GLA of the scanning signal line GL connected to at least one of the first to N-1th driving output sub-circuits in at least one stage of the shift register is smaller than the line width of the signal connection line GLA of the scanning signal line GL connected to the Nth driving output sub-circuit. Exemplarily, the line width of the signal connection line GLA of the scanning signal lines GL(1) to GL(3) is smaller than the line width of the signal connection line GLA of the scanning signal line GL(4).

[0255] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG12 and FIG13 , for at least one stage of the shift register, the line width of the signal connection line GLA of the scanning signal line GL connected to the Nth driving output sub-circuit is within a range of 1.5 to 2 times the line width of the signal connection line GLA of the scanning signal line GL connected to at least one driving output sub-circuit from the first driving output sub-circuit to the N-1th driving output sub-circuit. Exemplarily, the line width of the signal connection line GLA of the scanning signal line GL(4) is 1.5 to 2 times the line width of the signal connection line GLA of the scanning signal lines GL(1) to GL(3).

[0256] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG12 , for at least one stage of the shift register, the signal overlap line GLB of the scanning signal line GL connected from the first drive output sub-circuit to the Nth drive output sub-circuit is a ring structure.

Exemplarily, the signal overlap lines GLB of the scanning signal lines GL(1) to GL(4) are all ring structures. The fact that the signal overlap lines in the present disclosure are ring-shaped can reduce the area of ​​the overlapping region between the scanning signal line and the second signal line, reduce crosstalk between the signal lines, and improve the reliability of the display substrate.

Exemplarily, the signal overlap lines GLB of the scanning signal lines GL(1) through GL(4) are all ring structures.

[0258] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG13 , a signal overlapping line GLB of the scan signal line GL connected to the Nth drive output sub-circuit extends along a first direction D1 and has at least one arc-shaped boundary. The average line width of the signal overlapping line GLB of the scan signal line GL connected to the Nth drive output sub-circuit is smaller than the line width of the signal connection line GLA of the scan signal line GL connected to the Nth drive output sub-circuit. Having an average line width of the signal overlapping line GLB of the scan signal line GL connected to the Nth drive output sub-circuit smaller than the line width of the signal connection line GLA of the scan signal line GL connected to the Nth drive output sub-circuit can reduce the resistance and capacitance loads of the scan signal line connected to the last drive output sub-circuit in the shift register, improve the display uniformity of the sub-pixels driven by the shift register, and enhance the reliability of the display substrate.

[0259] The arrangement of the scanning signal line GL connected to the Nth driving output sub-circuit in FIG12 and FIG13 can reduce the difference between the signals transmitted by the plurality of scanning signal lines connected to the shift register, and can improve the display uniformity of the display substrate.

[0270] In the present disclosure, W1=W2 can ensure that the overlapping area between each output clock signal line and any clock signal line is the same, so that the parasitic capacitance in the shift register can maintain good uniformity, thereby ensuring the reliability of the shift register.

[0274] By setting the second clock signal as above, the present disclosure can achieve the rapid drop of the output drive signal of the Nth drive output sub-circuit to a lower potential, shorten the falling edge of the output drive signal of the Nth drive output sub-circuit, and thus achieve the uniformity of the multiple drive signals output by the shift register, thereby improving the reliability of the display substrate.

[0275] In an exemplary embodiment, the first voltage VL1 is a positive voltage, the second voltage VL2 and the third voltage VL3 are negative voltages, and the absolute value of the second voltage VL2 is smaller than the absolute value of the third voltage VL3.

The duration of a time period of a falling edge of the fifth clock signal is less than half the duration of a time period of a falling edge of the fourth clock signal.

[0280] By setting the fifth clock signal as above, the present disclosure can make the output drive signal of the Nth drive output sub-circuit fall quickly, shorten the falling edge of the output drive signal of the Nth drive output sub-circuit, and thus achieve the uniformity of the multiple drive signals output by the shift register, thereby improving the reliability of the display substrate.

[0282] By setting the sixth clock signal as above, the present disclosure can achieve a rapid rise in the output drive signal of the first drive output sub-circuit, shorten the rising edge of the output drive signal of the other first drive output sub-circuit, and thus achieve uniformity of the multiple drive signals output by the shift register, thereby improving the reliability of the display substrate.
