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. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0087] 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.
[0088] 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.
[0089] 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.
[0090] 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.
[0091] 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.
[0092] 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" can be interchanged, and "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.
[0093] 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.
[0094] 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°.
[0095] 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."
[0096] 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.
[0097] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly defined and allows for process and measurement errors.
[0098] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device. As shown in Figure 1, the display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, a light-emitting driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is respectively connected to the data driver, the scan driver, and the light-emitting driver. The data driver is respectively connected to a plurality of data signal lines (D1 to Dn), the scan driver is respectively connected to a plurality of scan signal lines (S1 to Sm), and the light-emitting driver is respectively connected to a plurality of light-emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo). The pixel array may include a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij, where i and j may be natural numbers. At least one sub-pixel Pxij may include a circuit unit and a light-emitting device connected to the circuit unit. The circuit unit may include at least a pixel driving circuit, and the pixel driving circuit may be respectively connected to the scan signal lines, the light-emitting signal lines, and the data signal lines. In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller may provide grayscale values and control signals suitable for the specifications of the data driver to the data driver, may provide clock signals, scan start signals, etc. suitable for the specifications of the scan driver to the scan driver, and may provide clock signals, emission stop signals, etc. suitable for the specifications of the light-emitting driver to the light-emitting driver. The data driver can generate data voltages to be supplied to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., and Dn using grayscale values and control signals received from a timing controller. For example, the data driver can sample grayscale values using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values to data signal lines D1 to Dn on a pixel row basis, where n can be a natural number. The scan driver can generate scan signals to be supplied to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., and Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, and the like from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver can sequentially supply scan signals having on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver can be configured as a shift register and can generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting scan start signals provided in the form of on-level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. The light driver can generate emission signals to be supplied to light signal lines E1, E2, E3, ..., and Eo by receiving clock signals, emission stop signals, and the like from the timing controller. For example, the light emitting driver may sequentially provide an emission signal having an off-level pulse to the light emitting signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the light emitting driver may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate an emission signal in a manner such that an emission stop signal provided in the form of an off-level pulse is sequentially transmitted to a next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal. o may be a natural number.

In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit can be a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C or 8T1C structure. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of an equivalent circuit of a pixel driving circuit. As shown in Figure 5, the pixel driving circuit may include 7 transistors (first transistor T1 to seventh transistor T7) and 1 storage capacitor C, and the pixel driving circuit is respectively connected to 8 signal lines (data signal line D, first scan signal line S1, second scan signal line S2, light emitting signal line E, first initial signal line INIT1, second initial signal line INIT2, first power line VDD and second power line VSS).
[0110] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit may include a first node N1, a second node N2, and a third node N3. The first node N1 is respectively connected to the first electrode of the third transistor T3, the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5, the second node N2 is respectively connected to the second electrode of the first transistor, the first electrode of the second transistor T2, the control electrode of the third transistor T3, and the second end of the storage capacitor C, and the third node N3 is respectively connected to the second electrode of the second transistor T2, the second electrode of the third transistor T3, and the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6.
[0111] In an exemplary embodiment, a first end of the storage capacitor C is connected to the first power line VDD, and a second end of the storage capacitor C is connected to the second node N2 , ie, the second end of the storage capacitor C is connected to the control electrode of the third transistor T3 .
[0112] The control electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the second scan signal line S2, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first initialization signal line INIT1, and the second electrode of the first transistor is connected to the second node N2. When an on-level scan signal is applied to the second scan signal line S2, the first transistor T1 transmits a first initialization voltage to the control electrode of the third transistor T3, thereby initializing the charge amount of the control electrode of the third transistor T3.
[0113] The control electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first scan signal line S1, the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second node N2, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the third node N3. When the on-level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line S1, the second transistor T2 connects the control electrode of the third transistor T3 to the second electrode.
[0114] The control electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second node N2, that is, the control electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second end of the storage capacitor C. The first electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first node N1, and the second electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the third node N3. The third transistor T3 can be called a driving transistor. The third transistor T3 determines the amount of driving current flowing between the first power line VDD and the second power line VSS based on the potential difference between the control electrode and the first electrode.
[0115] The control electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first scan signal line S1, the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data signal line D, and the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first node N1. The fourth transistor T4 can be called a switching transistor, a scan transistor, etc. When an on-level scan signal is applied to the first scan signal line S1, the fourth transistor T4 inputs the data voltage of the data signal line D to the pixel driving circuit.
[0116] The control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the light-emitting signal line E, the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power line VDD, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first node N1. The control electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the light-emitting signal line E, the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the third node N3, and the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the first electrode of the light-emitting device. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 can be referred to as light-emitting transistors. When an on-level light-emitting signal is applied to the light-emitting signal line E, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 form a drive current path between the first power line VDD and the second power line VSS, causing the light-emitting device to emit light.
[0117] The control electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second scan signal line S2, the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second initialization signal line INIT2, and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the first electrode of the light-emitting device.

[0118] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting device can be an OLED, including a stacked first electrode (anode), an organic light-emitting layer and a second electrode (cathode), or can be a QLED, including a stacked first electrode (anode), a quantum dot light-emitting layer and a second electrode (cathode).
[0119] In an exemplary embodiment, the second electrode of the light emitting device is connected to the second power line VSS, the signal of the second power line VSS is a continuously provided low level signal, and the signal of the first power line VDD is a continuously provided high level signal.
[0120] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 may be a P-type transistor or an N-type transistor. Using the same type of transistors in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel, and improve the product yield. In some possible implementations, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 may include P-type transistors and N-type transistors.
[0121] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 may be low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors, or oxide thin-film transistors, or both. The active layer of the low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor is made of low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS), and the active layer of the oxide thin-film transistor is made of oxide semiconductor (Oxide). Low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors have advantages such as high mobility and fast charging, while oxide thin-film transistors have advantages such as low leakage current. Integrating low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors and oxide thin-film transistors on a display substrate, i.e., an LTPS+Oxide (LTPO) display substrate, can leverage the advantages of both, achieve low-frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display quality.
[0122] In an exemplary embodiment, taking the case where the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 are all P-type transistors, the operation process of the pixel driving circuit may include:
[0123] The first phase A1, known as the reset phase, is characterized by a low-level signal on the second scan signal line S2, and a high-level signal on the first scan signal line S1 and the light-emitting signal line E. The low-level signal on the second scan signal line S2 turns on the first transistor T1 and the seventh transistor T7. Turning on the first transistor T1 allows the first initial voltage on the first initial signal line INIT1 to be supplied to the second node N2, initializing the storage capacitor C and clearing the existing data voltage in the storage capacitor. Turning on the seventh transistor T7 allows the second initial voltage on the second initial signal line INIT2 to be supplied to the first electrode of the OLED, initializing (resetting) the first electrode of the OLED and clearing the pre-stored voltage within it, completing initialization and ensuring that the OLED does not emit light. The high-level signals on the first scan signal line S1 and the light-emitting signal line E turn off the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7.
[0124] In the second phase A2, also known as the data writing phase or threshold compensation phase, the signal on the first scan signal line S1 is a low-level signal, the signals on the second scan signal line S2 and the light-emitting signal line E are high-level signals, and the data signal line D outputs a data voltage. During this phase, since the second end of the storage capacitor C is at a low level, the third transistor T3 is turned on. The low-level signal on the first scan signal line S1 turns on the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4. The conduction of the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 causes the data voltage output by the data signal line D to be provided to the second node N2 via the first node N1, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor T2. The difference between the data voltage output by the data signal line D and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is then charged into the storage capacitor C. The voltage at the second end of the storage capacitor C (the second node N2) is Vd-|Vth|, where Vd is the data voltage output by the data signal line D and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. The high-level signal on the second scan signal line S2 turns off the first transistor T1. The signal of the light emitting signal line E is a high level signal, which turns off the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6.
[0125] In the third phase A3, known as the light-emitting phase, the signal on the light-emitting signal line E is a low-level signal, while the signals on the first scan signal line S1 and the second scan signal line S2 are high-level signals. The low-level signal on the light-emitting signal line E turns on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6. The power supply voltage output from the first power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the OLED through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, third transistor T3, and sixth transistor T6, driving the OLED to emit light.
[0126] During the driving process of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its gate electrode and the first electrode. Since the voltage of the second node N2 is Vdata-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is: I=K*(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd] 2
[0127] Wherein, I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, that is, the driving current driving the OLED, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vd is the data voltage output by the data signal line D, and Vdd is the power supply voltage output by the first power supply line VDD.
[0128] With the development of OLED display technology, consumers have higher and higher requirements for the display effects of display products. Extremely narrow bezels have become a new trend in the development of display products. Therefore, the narrowing of the bezel or even the design of no bezel has received more and more attention in the design of OLED display products. In one display substrate, the binding area usually includes a fan-out area, a bending area, a driver chip area and a binding pin area arranged in sequence along the direction away from the display area. Because the width of the binding area is smaller than the width of the display area, the signal lines of the integrated circuit and the binding pad in the binding area need to pass through the fan-out area in a fan-out routing manner to be introduced into the wider display area. The greater the width difference between the display area and the binding area, the more oblique fan-out lines there are in the fan-shaped area, and the greater the distance between the driver chip area and the display area. Therefore, the fan-shaped area occupies a larger space, resulting in greater difficulty in narrowing the design of the lower bezel. The lower bezel has always been maintained at about 2.0mm. In another display substrate, power leads are usually provided in the binding area and the bezel area. The power leads are configured to transmit low-voltage power signals. In order to reduce the voltage drop of the low-voltage power signals, the width of the power leads is larger, resulting in a wider bezel of the display device.
[0129] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate that utilizes a fanout in AA (FIAA) structure. Multiple data lines connect to corresponding data signal lines in the display area at one end, while the other ends extend to a bonding area and connect to corresponding integrated circuits in the bonding area. Because fan-shaped diagonal lines are not required in the bonding area, the width of the fanout area is reduced, effectively reducing the width of the bottom bezel.

The "patterning process" mentioned in the present disclosure includes processes such as coating photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, and stripping photoresist for metal materials, inorganic materials, or transparent conductive materials, and includes processes such as coating organic materials, mask exposure, and development for organic materials.

The positive projection of the power connection electrode 93 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the positive projection of the low-voltage power line 52 on the substrate. The power connection electrode 93 is connected to the second power line 80 through the thirty-second via V32, thereby realizing the connection between the grid-shaped power lead and the second power line 80.

[0285] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first compensation line 110 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second initial signal line 32 on the substrate, which can effectively improve the transmittance and space utilization of the display substrate.
[0286] In an exemplary embodiment, the area of the orthographic projection of the first compensation line 110 on the substrate has a fourth area, and the area where the orthographic projection of the first compensation line 110 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second initial signal line 32 on the substrate has a fourth overlapping area, and the fourth overlapping area can be greater than 80% of the fourth area.
[0287] In an exemplary embodiment, the second compensation line 120 may be in the shape of a straight line with a main portion extending along the second direction Y. The second compensation lines 120 in adjacent circuit units in the second direction Y in the third region are connected to each other as an integrated structure.
[0288] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second compensation line 120 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the initial connection line 47 on the substrate, which can effectively improve the transmittance and space utilization of the display substrate.
[0289] In an exemplary embodiment, the area of the orthographic projection of the second compensation line 120 on the substrate has a fifth area, and the area where the orthographic projection of the second compensation line 120 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the initial connection line 47 on the substrate has a fifth overlapping area, and the fifth overlapping area can be greater than 80% of the fifth area.
[0290] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of first compensation lines 110 and the plurality of second compensation lines 120 in the third region are an integrated structure interconnected to form a grid-like compensation line. The first compensation lines 110 and the second compensation lines 120 are configured so that the fifth conductive layer pattern of the third region presents a similar morphology to the fifth conductive layer patterns of the first region and the second region. This not only improves the uniformity of the preparation process, but also enables different regions to achieve substantially the same display effect under transmitted light and reflected light, effectively avoiding the poor appearance of the display substrate and improving the display quality.
[0291] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of first compensation lines 110 are interconnected with the plurality of second power lines 92, and the plurality of second compensation lines 120 are interconnected with the plurality of first power lines 91, thereby achieving interconnection between the grid-like power leads and the grid-like compensation lines.

The first power trace 91 may be provided on one side of the circuit unit in the second direction Y, the first compensation line 110 may be provided on the side of the circuit unit in the opposite direction of the second direction Y, the second power trace 92 may be provided on one side of the second power line 80 in the first direction X, and the second compensation line 120 may be provided on one side of the second power line 80 in the opposite direction of the first direction X.
[0293] In an exemplary embodiment, an orthographic projection of the second compensation line 120 on the substrate at least partially overlaps an orthographic projection of the dummy line on the substrate.
[0294] As shown in Figures 20c and 20d, the fifth conductive layer pattern of multiple circuit units in the first area (E1 area) of the display area also includes: a first connecting line 71, a first power line 91, a second power line 92, a power connection electrode 93 and a second compensation line 120.
[0295] In an exemplary embodiment, the first connection line 71 may be in the shape of a straight line with a main portion extending along the first direction X. The first connection line 71 is connected to the data connection electrode 61 through the thirty-third via hole V33. Since the data connection electrode 61 is connected to the data signal line 60, the connection between the first connection line 71 and the data signal line 60 is achieved.
[0296] In this exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first connecting line 71 on the substrate at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the second initial signal line 32 on the substrate. Because the first connecting line 71 is located on the fifth conductive layer (SD3) and the second initial signal line 32 is located on the second conductive layer (GATE 2), with thicker first and second planar layers interposed between them, crosstalk is eliminated between the first connecting line 71 transmitting the data signal and the second initial signal line 32 transmitting the initial voltage signal. By overlapping the first connecting line 71 and the second initial signal line 32, the transmittance and space utilization of the display substrate can be effectively improved.
[0297] In an exemplary embodiment, the area of the orthographic projection of the first connecting line 71 on the substrate has a second overlapping area, and the area where the orthographic projection of the first connecting line 71 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second initial signal line 32 on the substrate has a second area, and the second overlapping area can be greater than 80% of the second area.
[0298] In an exemplary embodiment, the first connection lines 71 in adjacent circuit units in the first direction X in the first region are connected to each other in an integrated structure.

This not only improves the uniformity of the manufacturing process but also enables different regions to achieve substantially the same display effects under transmitted light and reflected light, effectively avoiding a poor appearance of the display substrate and improving the display quality.
[0300] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one cell column including circuit units in the first region and circuit units in the third region, the first power trace 91 in the first region and the first power trace 91 in the third region may be located on the same straight line extending along the second direction Y, the power connection electrode 93 in the first region and the power connection electrode 93 in the third region may be located on the same straight line extending along the second direction Y, the first power traces 91 in adjacent circuit units in the first direction X in the first region are an integrated structure connected to each other, and the power connection electrode 93 is connected to the second power line 80 through the thirty-second via V32.

The difference is that the second power trace 92 and the second compensation line 120 in the circuit units adjacent in the second direction Y in the first area are discontinuous, that is, the second power traces 92 in the circuit units adjacent in the second direction Y are arranged at intervals, and the second compensation lines 120 in the circuit units adjacent in the second direction Y are arranged at intervals, so that the first connecting line 71 is arranged between the breaks of the second power trace 92 and the second compensation line 120.
[0302] As shown in FIG. 20 e and FIG. 20 f , the fifth conductive layer pattern of the plurality of circuit units in the second region (region E2 ) of the display region further includes: a second connection line 72 , a dummy connection electrode 73 and a first compensation line 110 .
[0303] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the second connection line 72 can be a straight line with a main portion extending along the second direction Y, the first end of the second connection line 72 is connected to the lead line located in the lead area, and the second end of the second connection line 72 is connected to the first connection line 71 located in the display area, so that the interconnected first connection line 71 and the second connection line 72 constitute a data connection line.
[0304] In an exemplary embodiment, the second connection lines 72 in the adjacent circuit units in the second direction Y in the second region are an integrated structure connected to each other.
[0305] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one unit column including circuit units in the second region and circuit units in the third region, the first side connection lines of the second connection lines 72 in the second region and the second power supply lines 92 in the third region can be located on the same straight line extending along the second direction Y, and the second side connection lines of the second connection lines 72 in the second region and the second compensation lines 120 in the third region can be located on the same straight line extending along the second direction Y, so that the lines in the second region and the lines in the third region have similar morphologies, which not only improves the uniformity of the manufacturing process but also enables different regions to achieve substantially the same display effects under transmitted light and reflected light, effectively avoiding poor appearance of the display substrate and improving display quality and display quality.
[0306] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the dummy connecting electrode 73 can be rectangular, and the dummy connecting electrode 73 can be arranged on the side of the second connecting line 72 away from the data signal line 60 (i.e., the side close to the second power line 80) and connected to the second connecting line 72, and the orthographic projection of the dummy connecting electrode 73 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the low-voltage power line 52 on the substrate.
[0307] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one cell row including circuit cells in the second region and circuit cells in the third region, the dummy connection electrodes 73 in the second region and the power connection electrodes 93 in the third region may be located on the same straight line extending along the first direction X. In at least one cell column including circuit cells in the second region and circuit cells in the third region, the dummy connection electrodes 73 in the second region and the power connection electrodes 93 in the third region may be located on the same straight line extending along the second direction Y. That is, the position and shape of the dummy connection electrodes 73 in the circuit cells in the second region are substantially identical to the position and shape of the power connection electrodes 93 in the circuit cells in the third region. The difference is that the dummy connection electrodes 73 are not connected to the second power line 80 through vias. The dummy connection electrodes 73 are configured so that the fifth conductive layer patterns in the second region and the third region have similar morphologies. This not only improves the uniformity of the manufacturing process but also enables different regions to achieve substantially the same display effects under transmitted light and reflected light, effectively avoiding poor appearance of the display substrate and improving display quality.
[0308] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first compensation line 110 can be a straight line segment with the main portion extending along the first direction X, the first end of the first compensation line 110 is connected to the second connecting line 72, and the second end of the first compensation line 110 extends along the first direction X or the opposite direction of the first direction X.
[0309] In an exemplary embodiment, at least two second connection lines 72 and two first compensation lines 110 may be provided in at least one circuit unit in the second region. The two second connection lines 72 may include a first side connection line and a second side connection line.

In this exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the forty-first via hole V41 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the second anode connecting electrode 53 on the substrate. The third planar layer within the forty-first via hole V41 is removed, exposing the surface of the second anode connecting electrode 53. The forty-first via hole V41 is configured to connect a subsequently formed anode to the second anode connecting electrode 53 through the via hole. To accommodate connections with subsequently formed anodes, the position of the forty-first via hole V41 may vary across multiple circuit units.
[0316] In an exemplary embodiment, the via patterns of the first region, the second region, and the third region are substantially the same.

[0327] In an exemplary embodiment, the anode shapes and areas of the four sub-pixels in a pixel unit may be the same or different, the positional relationship between the four sub-pixels in a pixel unit and the four circuit units in a circuit unit group may be the same or different, and the shapes and positions of the first anode 301R, the second anode 301B, the third anode 301G1 and the fourth anode 301G2 in different pixel units may be the same or different, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0329] As shown in Figure 22a, in the third area, the orthographic projections of the main parts of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of a first power trace 91 and a first compensation line 110 on the substrate, the orthographic projections of the main parts of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of a second power trace 92 and two second compensation lines 120 on the substrate, and the orthographic projections of the main parts of the third anode 301C and the fourth anode 301D on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of a second power trace 92 on the substrate.
[0330] As shown in Figure 22b, in the first area, the orthographic projections of the main parts of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of a first power supply line 91 and a first connecting line 71 on the substrate, the orthographic projections of the main parts of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of a second power supply line 92 and two second compensation lines 120 on the substrate, and the orthographic projections of the main parts of the third anode 301C and the fourth anode 301D on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of a second power supply line 92 on the substrate.
[0331] As shown in Figure 22c, in the second region, the orthographic projections of the main parts of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of the two first compensation lines 110 on the substrate, the orthographic projections of the main parts of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of the three second connecting lines 72 on the substrate, and the orthographic projections of the main parts of the third anode 301C and the fourth anode 301D on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of one second connecting line 72 on the substrate.
[0332] In an exemplary embodiment, by comparing the orthographic projections of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B on the substrate in the first, second, and third regions, it can be seen that the main bodies of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B overlap with two horizontal lines (straight lines extending along the first direction X), and the main bodies of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B overlap with three vertical lines (straight lines extending along the second direction Y). Therefore, the horizontal metal lines and the vertical metal lines of the SD3 layer below the main bodies of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B in the three regions are substantially the same, which can ensure the flatness of the first anode 301A and the second anode 301B in the three regions, and can ensure that the luminous performance of the red light-emitting devices and the blue light-emitting devices in the three regions are substantially the same.
[0333] In the exemplary embodiment, by comparing the orthographic projections of the third anode 301C and the fourth anode 301D in the first region, the second region, and the third region on the substrate, it can be seen that
[0334] The orthographic projections of the main bodies of the third anode 301C and the fourth anode 301D on the substrate overlap with a vertical line but do not overlap with the horizontal line. Therefore, the horizontal metal lines and the vertical metal lines of the SD3 layer below the main bodies of the third anode 301C and the fourth anode 301D in the three regions are basically the same, which can ensure the flatness of the third anode 301C and the fourth anode 301D in the three regions and ensure that the luminous performance of the first green light-emitting device and the second green light-emitting device in the three regions is basically the same.
[0335] In an exemplary embodiment, the subsequent preparation process may include: first forming a pixel definition layer pattern, then using an evaporation or inkjet printing process to form an organic light-emitting layer, then forming a cathode on the organic light-emitting layer, and then forming an encapsulation structure layer. The encapsulation structure layer may include a stacked first encapsulation layer, a second encapsulation layer, and a third encapsulation layer. The first encapsulation layer and the third encapsulation layer may be made of inorganic materials, the second encapsulation layer may be made of organic materials, and the second encapsulation layer is arranged between the first encapsulation layer and the third encapsulation layer to ensure that external water vapor cannot enter the light-emitting structure layer.

[0355] It can be seen from the structure and preparation process of the display substrate described above that the present invention arranges data connection lines in the display area so that the lead lines of the binding area are connected to the data signal lines through the data connection lines, so that there is no need to arrange fan-shaped oblique lines in the lead area, which effectively reduces the length of the lead area, greatly reduces the width of the lower frame, and improves the screen-to-body ratio, which is conducive to achieving full-screen display.
[0356] In a display substrate, a display area includes a routing area where data connection lines are provided and a normal area where no data connection lines are provided. Because the data connection lines in the routing area have high reflectivity when exposed to external light, while the other metal lines in the normal area have weak reflectivity, the appearance of the normal area and the routing area is significantly different, resulting in a poor appearance of the display substrate, which is particularly noticeable when the screen is off or displaying low grayscale images. The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a second compensation line in a first area, a first compensation line in a second area, and a first and second compensation lines in a third area. This not only ensures that the different areas have substantially identical structures and achieve substantially identical display effects under both transmitted and reflected light, effectively avoiding poor appearance of the display substrate, but also ensures that the horizontal and vertical metal lines beneath the anodes in the three areas are substantially identical, ensuring substantially consistent anode flatness in the three areas and substantially consistent luminous performance of the light-emitting devices, avoiding significant color shift in viewing angles, and improving display quality.
[0357] The present disclosure realizes the structure of VSS in pixel by arranging the first power line and the second power line in the display area, and the first power line and the second power line constitute the power line of the mesh-connected structure, which can not only effectively reduce the resistance of the power line, effectively reduce the voltage drop of the low-voltage power signal, and achieve low power consumption, but also effectively improve the uniformity of the power signal in the display substrate, effectively improve the display uniformity, and improve the display quality and display quality. The present disclosure can greatly reduce the width of the power line by connecting the power line with the power lead in the binding area and the frame area, greatly reduce the frame width, and is conducive to achieving full-screen display. The preparation process disclosed in the present disclosure is well compatible with the existing preparation process, the process is simple to implement, easy to implement, high production efficiency, low production cost, and high yield rate.
