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 combined with each other in any way.

[0058] 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.

[0059] 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.

[0060] 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.

[0061] 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.

[0062] 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.

[0063] 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] 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°.

[0066] 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."

[0067] 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.

[0068] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly defined and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0069] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device. As shown in Figure 1, the OLED display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is respectively connected to the data driver and the scan driver. The data driver is respectively connected to a plurality of data signal lines (D1 to Dn).

The pixel driving circuit is respectively connected to the scan signal line and the data signal line. The display unit may include at least a light-emitting device. The light-emitting device is connected to the pixel driving circuit of the circuit unit. Sub-pixel Pxij may refer to a sub-pixel whose pixel driving circuit is connected to the i-th scan signal line and the j-th data signal line. 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, and may provide a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. suitable for the specifications of the scan driver to the scan driver. The data driver can generate data voltages to be provided 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 in units of pixel rows, where n can be a natural number. The scan driver can generate scan signals to be provided to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., and Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, etc. from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver can sequentially provide scan signals having on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver can be configured in the form of 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 level circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel array can be provided on a display substrate.

[0131] The following is an illustrative explanation of the preparation process of the display substrate. 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. Deposition can be carried out by any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition, coating can be carried out by any one or more of spraying, spin coating, and inkjet printing, and etching can be carried out by any one or more of dry etching and wet etching, and the present disclosure does not limit this. "Thin film" refers to a thin film made by deposition, coating, or other processes on a substrate of a certain material. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire production process, the "thin film" can also be called a "layer". If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire production process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern". As used in this disclosure, "A and B are disposed in the same layer" means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer refers to the dimension of the film layer in a direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A contains the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary of the orthographic projection of A, or that the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

[0199] In an exemplary embodiment, the seventh connection electrode 17 may be rectangular and may be disposed between the first gate electrode 31 and the first power line 51. The seventh connection electrode 17 is connected to both the first region of the first active layer 21 and the data signal line 52 through a first via hole V1, thereby enabling the data signal line 52 to write a data signal into the first electrode of the first transistor T1. In an exemplary embodiment, each data signal line 52 may be connected to the first region of the first active layer in a sub-pixel through the first via hole V1, thereby enabling four data signal lines 52 to write data signals into the four first transistors T1 in a repeating unit.

[0200] In an exemplary embodiment, the four data signal lines 52 may include a first data signal line, a second data signal line, a third data signal line, and a fourth data signal line. The first data signal line may be located on one side of the first power supply line 51 in the first pixel column in the first direction X and may be connected to the first region of the first active layer in the first subpixel P1.

[0201] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the eighth connection electrode 18 can be a strip shape extending along the first direction X, and can be arranged on the side of the second electrode plate 62 away from the scanning signal line 30. The first end of the eighth connection electrode 18 is connected to the first power line 51 through the seventh via V7, and the second end of the eighth connection electrode 18 is connected to the first area of ​​the second active layer 22 through the second via V2, thereby enabling the first power line 51 to write the first power signal into the first electrode of the second transistor T2.

[0202] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 51 in the first pixel column can simultaneously provide a first power signal to the pixel driving circuits in the first sub-pixel P1 and the third sub-pixel P3. The first power line 51 in the second pixel column can simultaneously provide a first power signal to the pixel driving circuits in the second sub-pixel P2 and the fourth sub-pixel P4. Thus, the first power lines 51 in a repeating unit form a one-to-two structure. By designing the first power lines as a one-to-two structure, the display substrate of the present disclosure reduces the number of signal lines and the space occupied. The structure is simple, the layout is rational, and the layout space is fully utilized, improving space utilization and facilitating enhanced resolution and transparency.

This symmetrical structure of the present disclosure can ensure that the voltage drop written by the first power line to the second transistor T2 is substantially the same, thereby ensuring display uniformity.

[0204] In an exemplary embodiment, the ninth connection electrode 19 may be rectangular in shape and may be disposed between the third gate electrodes 33 of two adjacent sub-pixels in the first direction X. The ninth connection electrode 19 is connected to the first region of the third active layer 23 and the compensation signal line 53 simultaneously through the fourth via hole V4, thereby enabling the compensation signal line 53 to write the compensation signal into the first electrode of the third transistor T3.

[0205] In an exemplary embodiment, compensation signal line 53 can simultaneously provide compensation signals to the pixel driver circuit in each sub-pixel. Therefore, four pixel driver circuits in a repeating unit can share a single compensation signal line 53, i.e., the compensation signal lines 53 in a repeating unit form a one-to-four structure. By designing the display substrate of the present disclosure as a one-to-four structure, the number of signal lines is reduced, the space occupied is reduced, the structure is simple, the layout is rational, and the layout space is fully utilized, thereby improving space utilization and enhancing resolution and transparency.

This symmetrical structure of the present disclosure can ensure that the RC delay of the compensation signal written into the third transistor T3 is substantially the same, thereby ensuring display uniformity.

[0210] In an exemplary embodiment, during the process of forming the third conductive layer pattern, a wet etching process is first used to form the third conductive layer pattern, thereby enabling at least one connecting electrode to simultaneously connect to the second conductive layer and the semiconductor layer through the via hole of the transition structure. The fifth via hole V5 of the transition structure can include at least two half-holes: a shallow half-hole V5-1 and a deep half-hole V5-2. The second insulating layer 10B in the shallow half-hole V5-1 is removed, exposing the surface of the third active layer 23 in the semiconductor layer. The second insulating layer 10B and the first insulating layer 10A in the deep half-hole V5-2 are removed, exposing the surface of the fourth connecting electrode 14 in the second conductive layer. This allows the sixth connecting electrode 16 to simultaneously connect to the third active layer 23 and the fourth connecting electrode 14 through the shallow half-hole V5-1 and the deep half-hole V5-2. In an exemplary embodiment, a distance is provided between the end of the sixth connecting electrode 16 located in the shallow half-hole V5-1 region and the edge of the shallow half-hole V5-1, meaning that the sixth connecting electrode 16 does not fully cover the shallow half-hole V5-1, as shown in FIG. 10C .

The second pixel groove F2 may be in the shape of a strip with a main portion extending along the second direction Y and may be disposed in the middle of the repeating unit in the first direction X, between adjacent pixel openings K in the first direction X. In an exemplary embodiment, the first pixel groove F1 and the second pixel groove F2 are configured to interrupt the subsequently formed organic light-emitting layer, blocking the lateral propagation path of hole-type carriers, eliminating lateral leakage, and reducing lateral crosstalk between sub-pixels.

[0301] (212) The organic light-emitting layer, cathode and encapsulation layer patterns are formed, which will not be described in detail here.

[0306] Currently, existing display substrates face complex production processes and high production costs. For example, the manufacturing process for the drive structure layer in one display substrate requires nine masking steps, which not only reduces production efficiency and increases production costs, but also affects product yield.

[0307] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate with a bottom emission structure. By arranging structures such as a first power line, a data signal line, and a compensation signal line in a second conductive layer, which is located on the side of the semiconductor layer close to the substrate, and arranging structures such as a scanning signal line and gate electrodes of multiple transistors in a third conductive layer, which is located on the side of the semiconductor layer away from the substrate, not only one conductive layer is reduced, but also the patterning process of the transfer via and the patterning process of the transfer conductive layer are reduced, so that the preparation process of the driving structure layer only requires six patterning processes, reducing the number of patterning processes, effectively improving production efficiency, effectively reducing production costs, and maximizing product yield.

[0308] The pixels of the display substrate of the embodiment of the present disclosure are arranged in a square manner, which can effectively increase the aperture ratio and the area of ​​the light-transmitting region, and is more suitable for display-type displays.

[0309] The display substrate of the disclosed embodiment uses a 3T1C pixel drive circuit with one scan signal line, and one scan signal line is connected to the first transistor and the third transistor in the pixel drive circuit. By reducing the number of scan signal lines, not only can the structure of the pixel drive circuit be simplified and the occupied area of ​​the pixel drive circuit be reduced, which is conducive to achieving high-resolution display, but also the light-transmitting area of ​​the light-transmitting area can be effectively increased, improving the space ratio of the light-transmitting area, which is conducive to achieving high-transparency display. In addition, since a repeating unit only requires one scan signal line to drive, the number of its corresponding gate drive circuit (GOA) and clock signal line (CLK) can be reduced exponentially, effectively reducing the occupied area of ​​the gate drive circuit and clock signal line, which is conducive to achieving a narrow frame and improving product advantages.

[0310] The embodiment of the present disclosure displays a substrate that forms a first capacitor and a second capacitor in a sandwich structure by utilizing a first conductive layer, a semiconductor layer, and a fourth conductive layer. The first capacitor and the second capacitor in a parallel structure constitute a storage capacitor. On the one hand, this can effectively increase the capacitance value of the storage capacitor. On the other hand, it can reduce the plate area while ensuring the capacitance value of the storage capacitor, thereby effectively reducing the occupied area of ​​the pixel driving circuit and facilitating high-resolution display.

[0311] The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure shows that the substrate is composed of a transparent storage capacitor composed of a transparent conductive layer and a transparent semiconductor layer, so that light can be emitted through the transparent storage capacitor. Therefore, the storage capacitor can be set in the pixel opening, which can not only effectively increase the capacitance of the storage capacitor, but also effectively increase the pixel aperture ratio.

[0312] The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure displays a substrate that adopts a first power line structure with a non-mesh structure, which can effectively increase the pixel aperture ratio and improve the display effect.

[0313] The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure displays a substrate that uses first power lines and power connection lines to form a mesh structure for transmitting a first power signal. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the first power lines and reduces the voltage drop of the first power signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the first power signal in the display substrate, effectively improves display uniformity, and improves display quality.
