[0086] As shown in FIG2 , the working process of the sub-pixel driving circuit is as follows:
[0087] In the P1 phase, the sixth transistor T6 is turned off, the fifth transistor T5 is kept on, and the high-level power signal transmitted by the power line VDD biases the third transistor T3 with a high voltage, thereby improving the hysteresis of the third transistor T3 (ie, the driving transistor).
[0088] In the P2 phase: the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the first initialization signal transmitted by the first initialization signal transmission layer Vinit1 initializes the gate of the third transistor T3 (ie, the N1 node).
[0089] In the P3 stage: the first transistor T1 is continuously turned on, the second transistor T2 is turned on, and the first initialization signal performs low-level initialization on the N1 node, the N2 node and the N3 node at the same time, so that before the data signal is written, the potential environment of the related nodes N1 node, the N2 node and the N3 node of the third transistor T3 is consistent, thereby improving the frequency switching flicker problem.
[0090] In the P4 phase: the second transistor T2 is continuously turned on, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, a data signal is written into the data line DA, and the third transistor T3 performs threshold voltage Vth compensation.

[0092] In the P6 phase: the sixth transistor T6 is turned on and the fifth transistor T5 is turned off. Before the light-emitting element emits light, the N2 node, the N3 node and the N4 node are turned on, so that the N2 node, the N3 node and the N4 node are connected and the voltage reaches a stable state before light emission.
[0093] In the P7 phase: the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, the sixth transistor T6 is continuously turned on, and the light-emitting element emits light.
[0094] Referring to Figures 1, 5, 9, and 10, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate, comprising: a base substrate, and a power line VDD, a first light-emitting control signal line EM1, a second light-emitting control signal line EM2, and a plurality of sub-pixels, all disposed on the base substrate; the sub-pixels comprising a sub-pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting element; the sub-pixel driving circuit comprising a driving transistor (i.e., the third transistor T3), a power control transistor (i.e., the fifth transistor T5), and a light-emitting control transistor (i.e., the sixth transistor T6);
[0095] The gate T5-g of the power control transistor is coupled to the corresponding first light-emitting control signal line EM1, the first electrode of the power control transistor is coupled to the corresponding power line VDD, and the second electrode of the power control transistor is coupled to the first electrode of the driving transistor; the gate T6-g of the light-emitting control transistor is coupled to the corresponding second light-emitting control signal line EM2, the first electrode of the light-emitting control transistor is coupled to the second electrode of the driving transistor, and the second electrode of the light-emitting control transistor is coupled to the light-emitting element;
[0096] The first light-emitting control signal line EM1 includes at least a portion extending along a first direction, and the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 includes at least a portion extending along the first direction. The orthographic projection of the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 on the base substrate are arranged along a second direction, and the second direction intersects with the first direction.
[0097] Exemplarily, the display substrate includes a plurality of first light emitting control signal lines EM1 , the plurality of first light emitting control signal lines EM1 are arranged along the second direction, and the first light emitting control signal lines EM1 include at least a portion extending along the first direction.
[0098] Exemplarily, the display substrate includes a plurality of second light emitting control signal lines EM2 , the plurality of second light emitting control signal lines EM2 are arranged along the second direction, and the second light emitting control signal lines EM2 include at least a portion extending along the first direction.
[0099] Exemplarily, the display substrate further includes a plurality of shift register units (also called GOA units), and the first light emitting control signal line EM1 and the second light emitting control signal line EM2 coupled to the same row of sub-pixel driving circuits are driven by different GOA units respectively.
[0100] Exemplarily, an orthographic projection of the first light emitting control signal line EM1 on the base substrate does not overlap with an orthographic projection of the second light emitting control signal line EM2 on the base substrate.
[0101] As shown in FIG3 , the display substrate exemplarily includes a buffer layer BF, an active layer poly, a first gate insulating layer GI1, a first gate metal layer gate1, a second gate insulating layer GI2, a second gate metal layer gate2, an interlayer insulating layer ILD, a first source / drain metal layer SD1, a first planarizing layer PLN1, a second source / drain metal layer SD2, a second planarizing layer PLN2, an anode layer ANO, a light-emitting functional layer EL, a cathode layer cath, a first inorganic encapsulation layer CVD1, an organic encapsulation layer IJP, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer CVD2, which are sequentially stacked in a direction away from the base substrate 70. The display substrate may further include, but is not limited to, a passivation layer PVX.
[0102] Exemplarily, the first light emitting control signal line EM1 and the gate T5-g of the power control transistor are arranged in different layers; and / or the second light emitting control signal line EM2 and the gate T6-g of the light emitting control transistor are arranged in different layers.
[0103] Exemplarily, the first emission control signal line EM1 and / or the second emission control signal line EM2 are provided in the same layer and material as the first source / drain metal layer. The gate T5-g of the power control transistor and the gate T6-g of the emission control transistor are provided in the same layer and material as the first gate metal layer. This arrangement helps reduce the layout difficulty of the display substrate and improves the resolution of the display substrate.
[0104] According to the specific structure of the display substrate described above, in the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the same sub-pixel driving circuit, the gate T5-g of the power control transistor is coupled to the corresponding first light-emitting control signal line EM1, and the gate T6-g of the light-emitting control transistor is coupled to the corresponding second light-emitting control signal line EM2. In this way, the power control transistor and the light-emitting control transistor can be independently controlled by the corresponding first light-emitting control signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting control signal line EM2, respectively. It is possible to independently control the power control transistor to turn on during the initialization phase (i.e., the above-mentioned phase P1). In this way, the power signal transmitted by the power line VDD can be transmitted to the first electrode of the driving transistor through the power control transistor, so that the driving transistor has a high voltage bias during the initialization phase, effectively improving the hysteresis of the driving transistor. At the same time, during the initialization phase (i.e., the above-mentioned phase P3), the power control transistor and the light-emitting control transistor are both controlled to be turned off, so that the gate T3-g, the first electrode, and the second electrode of the driving transistor are simultaneously initialized to a low level. Before the data signal is written, the potential environment of the gate T3-g, the first electrode, and the second electrode of the driving transistor is kept consistent, effectively improving the frequency switching flicker problem.
[0105] In a display substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of sub-pixels include a plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits distributed in an array, the plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits being divided into a plurality of rows of sub-pixel driving circuits, the plurality of rows of sub-pixel driving circuits being arranged along the second direction, and each row of sub-pixel driving circuits including a plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits arranged along the first direction. A plurality of first light-emitting control signal lines EM1 are arranged along the second direction, and a plurality of second light-emitting control signal lines EM2 are arranged along the second direction. The orthographic projections of the first light-emitting control signal lines EM1 and the orthographic projections of the second light-emitting control signal lines EM2 on the substrate are alternately arranged along the second direction. The first light-emitting control signal lines EM1 include at least a portion extending along the first direction, and the second light-emitting control signal lines EM2 include at least a portion extending along the first direction.
[0106] This arrangement enables each power control transistor included in a row of sub-pixel drive circuits to be coupled to a corresponding first emission control signal line EM1, and each emission control transistor included in a row of sub-pixel drive circuits to be coupled to a corresponding second emission control signal line EM2. While enabling independent control of the power control transistors and emission control transistors, it also rationally manages the layout space of the display substrate, reducing the layout complexity of the display substrate while maintaining high resolution.
[0107] In the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 on the base substrate to not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 on the base substrate, interference between the first light-emitting control signal transmitted by the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting control signal transmitted by the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 can be avoided, thereby ensuring stable transmission of the light-emitting control signals.
[0108] As shown in FIG4 , in some embodiments, the power control transistor includes a power control active layer 15 , and the light emission control transistor includes a light emission control active layer 16 .

[0115] The above arrangement reasonably plans the layout space of the display substrate, is beneficial to improving the resolution of the display substrate, and reduces the difficulty of the layout of the display substrate.
[0116] As shown in FIG5 to FIG12, in some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a first scan line GA1 and a data line DA; the sub-pixel driving circuit includes a data writing transistor (i.e., a fourth transistor T4), wherein a gate of the data writing transistor is coupled to the corresponding first scan line GA1, a first electrode of the data writing transistor is coupled to the corresponding data line DA, and a second electrode of the data writing transistor is coupled to the first electrode of the driving transistor;

The second light-emission control main body portion includes at least a portion extending along the first direction, and the second light-emission control protrusion protrudes from the second light-emission control main body portion along the second direction.

The first light-emission control protrusion is coupled to the gate electrode T5-g of the power control transistor.
[0121] Exemplarily, the first light emission control protrusion and the second light emission control protrusion are both located between the first light emission control body and the second light emission control body.
[0122] Exemplarily, an orthographic projection of the first scan line GA1 on the base substrate does not overlap with an orthographic projection of the first light emitting control signal line EM1 on the base substrate.

[0126] The above-mentioned setting method enables the orthographic projection of the first scanning line GA1 on the substrate to avoid overlapping with the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 on the substrate as much as possible, and minimizes the overlapping area between the first scanning line GA1 and the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting control signal line EM2. This not only reduces the loading of the first scanning line GA1, but also avoids poor display caused by crosstalk between signals, and avoids poor display split screen caused by multiple pulses of the first light-emitting control signal and the second light-emitting control signal.
[0127] As shown in FIG4 , in some embodiments, the data write transistor includes a data write active layer 14, the power control transistor includes a power control active layer 15, and the drive transistor includes a drive active layer 13; a first end of the data write active layer 14 (which may serve as the second electrode of the data write transistor, which may optionally be a drain), a first end of the power control active layer 15 (which may serve as the second electrode of the power control transistor, which may optionally be a drain), and a first end of the drive active layer 13 (which may serve as the first electrode of the drive transistor) are all coupled to form a second node portion J2 (i.e., corresponding to the second node N2);
[0128] At least a portion of the data writing active layer 14 and at least a portion of the power control active layer 15 are located on the same side of the driving active layer 13 along the second direction.
[0129] Exemplarily, the data write active layer 14 includes at least a portion extending along the second direction, and the data write active layer 14 is located on a side of the second node portion J2 away from the driving active layer 13. Exemplarily, the data write active layer 14 includes a channel portion located on a side of the second node portion J2 away from the driving active layer 13, and an orthographic projection of the channel portion on the base substrate overlaps with an orthographic projection of the first scan line GA1 on the base substrate.
[0130] Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the data writing active layer 14 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 on the substrate. This arrangement helps reduce the layout space occupied by the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 and improves the resolution of the display substrate.

[0133] Illustratively, the electrode plate main portion Cst21 and the electrode plate extension portion Cst22 form an integral structure.
[0134] Exemplarily, the plate bodies Cst21 located in the same row along the first direction are coupled in sequence to form a plate structure extending along the first direction. The plate structure is connected to a power signal and can form a grid structure with the power line VDD.
[0135] The above setting method enables the second electrode of the data writing transistor and the second electrode of the power control transistor to be directly coupled to the first electrode of the driving transistor through the active layer without the need for other film layers for switching, which can effectively reduce the number of vias and optimize wiring space.
[0136] Moreover, the above-mentioned setting method makes the active layer routing corresponding to the second node portion J2 longer. In this way, by setting the positive projection of the electrode extension portion Cst22 on the base substrate to overlap with the positive projection of the second node portion J2 on the base substrate, the capacitance value between the N2 node and the second electrode plate Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst can be optimized, so that the N2 node can be fully shielded by a stable power supply signal, which is beneficial to improving the grayscale Mura and afterimage performance of the low display substrate.
[0137] As shown in Figures 1 to 18, in some embodiments, the sub-pixel driving circuit also includes a first conductive connection portion 21, which is respectively coupled to the first electrode of the power control transistor, the plate extension portion Cst22 and the power line VDD; the orthographic projection of the first conductive connection portion 21 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the plate main portion Cst21 on the substrate.
[0138] Exemplarily, the first conductive connection portion 21 includes at least a portion extending along the first direction.
[0139] The above configuration enables electrical connection between the first electrode of the power control transistor, the plate extension Cst22 and the power line VDD via only one first conductive connection portion 21, which is beneficial for simplifying the circuit structure, improving the resolution of the display substrate, and reducing the resolution of the display substrate.

[0141] The above configuration allows the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 to avoid overlapping with the structure transmitting the power signal as much as possible.
[0142] As shown in Figure 16, in some embodiments, the power line VDD includes at least a portion extending along the second direction; the orthographic projection of the power line VDD on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 on the base substrate have a first overlapping area, and the orthographic projection of the power line VDD on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 on the base substrate have a second overlapping area; the length L1 of the first overlapping area along the first direction is greater than the length L2 of the second overlapping area along the first direction.
[0143] Exemplarily, the length of the second overlapping region along the first direction may be between 2 micrometers and 5 micrometers, including end values, but not limited thereto.
[0144] Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the power line VDD on the base substrate has a third overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the second scan line GA2 on the base substrate, and the length of the third overlapping area along the first direction is greater than the length of the second overlapping area along the first direction.
[0145] The above configuration allows the power line VDD to be narrowed in the second overlapping region, so that the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 can minimize the overlapping area with the structure transmitting the power signal.

[0169] It is worth noting that the wiring density of the second initialization transfer part Vinit12 , the first cathode compensation line VSS1 , and the fourth initialization transfer part Vinit22 can be flexibly adjusted.
[0170] As shown in FIG16 , in some embodiments, the display substrate includes a plurality of power lines VDD and a plurality of data lines DA;
[0171] The second initialization transmission part Vinit12 is located between the adjacent power line VDD and the data line DA; and / or the fourth initialization transmission part Vinit22 is located between the adjacent power line VDD and the data line DA; and / or the first cathode compensation line VSS1 is located between the adjacent power line VDD and the data line DA;
[0172] The adjacent power line VDD and the data line DA are coupled to the same sub-pixel driving circuit.
[0173] Exemplarily, the plurality of power lines VDD are arranged along the first direction, the plurality of data lines DA are arranged along the first direction, and the power lines VDD and the data lines DA are both provided in the same layer and material as the second source / drain metal layer. The power lines VDD and the data lines DA are alternately arranged along the first direction.
[0174] Exemplarily, in the layout area of a column of sub-pixel driving circuits, the second initialization transmission part Vinit12 is located between the power line VDD and the data line DA; or, the fourth initialization transmission part Vinit22 is located between the power line VDD and the data line DA; or, the first cathode compensation line VSS1 is located between the power line VDD and the data line DA.

[0177] Exemplarily, the second cathode compensation line VSS2 is provided in the same layer and with the same material as the first source / drain metal layer.
[0178] The above configuration enables the first cathode compensation line VSS1 and the second cathode compensation line VSS2 to form a grid structure, further reducing the loading of the cathode layer, improving the uniformity of the cathode signal, and effectively improving the heating problem of the display substrate under high-brightness display.
[0179] As shown in Figure 16, in some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a plurality of power compensation lines VDD1, the power compensation line VDD1 includes at least a portion extending along the first direction, and the power compensation line VDD1 is coupled to the power line VDD; the power compensation line VDD1 and the second cathode compensation line VSS2 are alternately arranged along the second direction.
[0180] Exemplarily, the plurality of power compensation lines VDD1 are arranged along the second direction, and the power compensation lines VDD1 are provided in the same layer and with the same material as the first source / drain metal layer.

[0182] The above-mentioned setting couples the power compensation line VDD1 with the power line VDD, so that the power compensation line VDD1 and the power line VDD together form a grid structure, which is beneficial to reducing the loading of the power line VDD, improving the uniformity of the power signal, and effectively improving the heating problem of the display substrate under high-brightness display.
[0183] Moreover, the second plate Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst in the display substrate is coupled to the power line VDD and receives the power signal. The second plates Cst2 located in the same row along the first direction are coupled in sequence. The connection method of the second plate Cst2, the power compensation line VDD1 and the power line VDD further reduces the loading of the power line VDD and improves the uniformity of the power signal.
[0184] The power compensation lines VDD1 and the second cathode compensation lines VSS2 are alternately arranged along the second direction, which reasonably utilizes the layout space of the display substrate and reduces the layout difficulty of the display substrate.

The third initialization transfer portion Vinit21 is located in a layout area of a sub-pixel driver circuit adjacent to the sub-pixel driver circuit to which the first conductive portion 111 belongs along the second direction.
[0191] The above-mentioned setting method enables the first conductive part 111 included in the first reset transistor to be covered by the third initialization transmission part Vinit21, so that the third initialization transmission part Vinit21 can shield the first conductive part 111, thereby ensuring the stability of the first conductive part 111 and thus ensuring the working stability of the first reset transistor.
