[0068] In order to further illustrate the display substrate and the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, a detailed description is given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 5 to 8, 11 to 14, and 11 to 19, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate including a display area AA and a peripheral area surrounding the display area AA; the display substrate further includes: a signal transmission layer 20, at least two stacked signal transfer layers 30, and a first signal terminal VSS; the signal transmission layer 20 extends from the display area AA to the peripheral area; the signal transfer layer and the first signal terminal VSS are both located in the peripheral area;

[0070] Adjacent signal transfer layers 30 are coupled to each other in the at least two signal transfer layers 30. The at least two signal transfer layers 30 include a first signal transfer layer 301 and a second signal transfer layer 302. At least a portion of the second signal transfer layer 302 is located between the first signal transfer layer 301 and the base substrate 70 of the display substrate. The first signal transfer layer 301 is coupled to the signal transmission layer 20, and the second signal transfer layer 302 is coupled to the first signal terminal VSS.

[0071] There is a first contact area J1 between the signal transmission layer 20 and the first signal transfer layer 301; the first signal transfer layer 301 includes a first part L1, and the second signal transfer layer 302 includes a second part L2, and a transfer area SL is formed between the second part L2 and the first part L1; in the transfer area SL, the first part L1 is coupled to the second part L2; the orthographic projection of the transfer area SL on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first contact area J1 on the substrate.

[0072] Exemplarily, the display substrate includes a display area AA and a peripheral area. The peripheral area surrounds the display area AA. For example, the display area AA includes a rectangular display area AA, and the peripheral area includes an upper frame area, a lower frame area, a left frame area, and a right frame area. The driver chip IC included in the display substrate is located in the lower frame area.

[0073] Exemplarily, the display substrate includes a plurality of sub-pixels, the plurality of sub-pixels are located in the display area AA, and the plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits included in the plurality of sub-pixels are distributed in an array. The plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits are divided into a plurality of rows of sub-pixel driving circuits and a plurality of columns of sub-pixel driving circuits. The plurality of rows of sub-pixel driving circuits are arranged along a second direction, and each row of sub-pixel driving circuits includes a plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits arranged along a first direction. The plurality of columns of sub-pixel driving circuits are arranged along a first direction, and each column of sub-pixel driving circuits includes a plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits arranged along a second direction.

[0074] Exemplarily, the sub-pixel includes a sub-pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting element. The sub-pixel driving circuit is coupled to the anode of the light-emitting element and is used to provide a driving signal to the light-emitting element to drive the light-emitting element to emit light. The light-emitting element includes an anode and a light-emitting functional layer, wherein the anode is located between the light-emitting functional layer and the base substrate. The display substrate also includes a cathode layer, which is located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer facing away from the base substrate. The cathode layer can be formed into a single-layer structure capable of covering the entire display area AA. The light-emitting functional layer can emit light under the action of the electric field formed by the anode and the cathode layer, thereby realizing the light-emitting function of the sub-pixel.

[0075] Exemplarily, the display substrate further includes a signal transmission layer 20, which has a relatively large area. For example, the signal transmission layer 20 can extend from the upper boundary of the display area AA to the lower boundary of the display area AA; and / or the signal transmission layer 20 can extend from the left boundary of the display area AA to the right boundary of the display area AA. The signal transmission layer 20 can include relatively long signal lines or can comprise an entire surface of the transmission layer, but is not limited thereto.

[0076] Exemplarily, the display substrate further includes at least two signal transfer layers, each of which is disposed in a different layer, but is not limited thereto. The display substrate further includes at least one first signal terminal VSS, which is configured to transmit a first signal, the first signal being transmitted between the signal transmission layer 20 and the first signal terminal VSS via each signal transfer layer.

[0077] Exemplarily, the at least two signal transfer layers include a first signal transfer layer 301 and a second signal transfer layer 302, the first signal transfer layer 301 is directly or indirectly coupled to the signal transmission layer 20, and the second signal transfer layer 302 is directly or indirectly coupled to the first signal terminal VSS.

[0078] Illustratively, a first contact area J1 is provided between the signal transmission layer 20 and the first signal transfer layer 301 , and the signal transmission layer 20 and the first signal transfer layer 301 are electrically connected in the first contact area J1 .

[0079] Exemplarily, the first signal transfer layer 301 includes a first portion L1, and the second signal transfer layer 302 includes a second portion L2. The first signal is transmitted along the first portion L1 and the second portion L2, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first portion L1 surrounds the display area AA, or at least partially surrounds the display area AA; the second portion L2 surrounds the display area AA, or at least partially surrounds the display area AA, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0080] Exemplarily, the second signal transfer layer 302 and the conductive film layer thereunder form a second contact area, and the first contact area J1 and the second contact area do not overlap. For example, the first contact area J1 is located between the display area and the second contact area, but is not limited thereto.

[0081] According to the specific structure of the above-mentioned display substrate, the display substrate provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a signal transmission layer 20, at least two stacked signal transfer layers 30, and a first signal terminal VSS; the at least two signal transfer layers 30 include a first signal transfer layer 301 and a second signal transfer layer 302, the first signal transfer layer 301 is coupled to the signal transmission layer 20, and the second signal transfer layer 302 is coupled to the first signal terminal VSS; there is a first contact area J1 between the signal transmission layer 20 and the first signal transfer layer 301; the first signal transfer layer 301 includes a first part L1, the second signal transfer layer 302 includes a second part L2, and the second part L2 and the first part L1 form a transfer area SL; the orthographic projection of the transfer area SL on the base substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first contact area J1 on the base substrate.

[0082] In the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal transmission layer 20 is electrically connected to the first signal terminal VSS through the first signal transfer layer 301 and the second signal transfer layer 302 in sequence. When the first signal transfer layer 301 and the second signal transfer layer 302 transmit signals between the signal transmission layer 20 and the first signal terminal VSS, the second part L2 and the first part L1 jointly realize signal transmission. By coupling the signal transmission layer 20 with the first signal transfer layer 301, the first signal transfer layer 301 can be electrically connected to the signal transmission layer 20 in multiple border areas, so that the signal can be transmitted between the signal transmission layer and the signal transfer layer from multiple directions, thereby better improving the uniformity of signal transmission by the signal transmission layer 20 in the display product, and enhancing the stability of the display effect of the display substrate and the uniformity of the display image quality.

[0083] In the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the signal is transmitted to the signal transmission layer 20 through the second part L2 and the first part L1 at the same time, the signal is transmitted simultaneously on multiple layers when passing through the first signal transfer layer 301. In this way, even if the thickness of the first signal transfer layer 301 is relatively thin, its loading is prevented from being too large, thereby ensuring that the first signal transfer layer 301 is not burned by the current during the transmission of the signal, thereby well ensuring the yield of the display substrate.

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 to 7, 12 to 13, and 18 to 19, the first portion L1 is located on the surface of the second portion L2 facing away from the substrate; or, as shown in Figures 5, 11 and 17, the first portion L1 is connected in parallel with the second portion L2.

[0085] As shown in Figures 6, 12, and 18, illustratively, the first portion L1 and the second portion L2 are directly overlapped. The overlapped area between the first portion L1 and the second portion L2 surrounds the display area AA; or the overlapped area between the first portion L1 and the second portion L2 at least partially surrounds the display area AA.

[0086] As shown in Figures 7, 13, and 19, the display substrate illustratively includes an insulating layer located between the first signal transfer layer 301 and the second signal transfer layer 302. The insulating layer has a first via hole Via1. The first portion L1 is located within the first via hole Via1, and the first portion L1 and the second portion L2 contact the surface facing away from the base substrate. Exemplarily, the first via hole Via1 surrounds the display area AA, or the first via hole Via1 at least partially surrounds the display area AA.

[0087] As shown in Figures 5, 11, and 17, the display substrate illustratively includes an insulating layer located between the first signal transfer layer 301 and the second signal transfer layer 302. The insulating layer has at least two second vias Via2, and the first portion L1 and the second portion L2 are connected in parallel via the at least two second vias Via2. Exemplarily, the second vias Via2 surround the display area AA, or the second vias Via2 at least partially surround the display area AA.

[0088] In the display substrate provided in the above embodiment, the transfer area SL can be formed by the above-mentioned multiple methods to achieve multi-layer transmission of signals when passing through the first signal transfer layer 301. In this way, even if the thickness of the first signal transfer layer 301 is relatively thin, it can be ensured that the first signal transfer layer 301 is not burned by the current during the transmission of the signal, thereby well ensuring the use yield of the display substrate.

[0089] As shown in FIG1 , FIG2 , FIG8 and FIG14 , in some embodiments, the signal transmission layer 20 includes a cathode layer Cath; the display substrate further includes an anode layer, and the first signal transfer layer 301 is provided in the same layer and material as the anode layer.

[0090] By setting the first signal transfer layer 301 and the anode layer to be in the same layer and with the same material, the first signal transfer layer 301 and the anode layer can be formed simultaneously in the same patterning process, avoiding the addition of an additional patterning process specifically for producing the first signal transfer layer 301, thereby effectively simplifying the production process flow of the display substrate and reducing the production cost of the display substrate.

[0091] The signal transmission layer 20 is configured to include a cathode layer Cath, so that the cathode layer Cath can transmit cathode current from multiple directions to the first signal transfer layer 301, thereby further improving the uniformity of cathode current transmission by the cathode layer Cath in the display product. Exemplarily, the cathode layer Cath can transmit cathode current to the first signal transfer layer 301 in the upper frame area, the lower frame area, the left frame area, and the right frame area, but is not limited to this.

[0092] Because the anode layer is relatively thin, the first signal transfer layer 301 is constructed of the same material as the anode layer, resulting in a thinner layer. Since the cathode current, when flowing through the first signal transfer layer 301, is simultaneously transmitted through the first portion L1 and the second portion L2 in the transfer region SL, the cathode current is simultaneously transmitted across multiple layers when passing through the first signal transfer layer 301. This ensures that, even though the first signal transfer layer 301 is relatively thin, it is protected from burns during the transmission of the cathode current, thereby effectively ensuring the yield of the display substrate.

[0093] As shown in FIG2 and FIG8 , in some embodiments, the peripheral area includes a lower frame area; the display substrate further includes a power connection line 40, at least two power signal input terminals VDD, and a plurality of power lines 41, wherein the power lines 41 extend from the display area AA to the lower frame area, and the at least two power signal input terminals VDD and the power connection lines 40 are both located in the lower frame area;

[0094] The power connection line 40 is coupled to the multiple power lines 41 respectively, and at least part of the orthographic projection of the power connection line 40 on the base substrate is located between the orthographic projection of the first signal transfer layer 301 on the base substrate and the display area AA; the power connection line 40 is also coupled to the at least two power signal input terminals VDD respectively, and the at least two power signal input terminals VDD are located on the side of the power connection line 40 away from the display area AA.

[0095] Exemplarily, the power line 41 is located in the display area, but is not limited thereto.

[0096] Illustratively, at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the power connection line 40 on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the first signal transfer layer 301 on the base substrate are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the display area AA.

[0097] Exemplarily, the plurality of power lines 41 are arranged along a first direction, and include at least a portion extending along a second direction. Each power line 41 is coupled to each sub-pixel driving circuit in a corresponding column of sub-pixel driving circuits. Exemplarily, the power connection line 40 includes at least a portion extending along the first direction, and is coupled to each of the plurality of power lines 41.

[0098] Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the power connection line 40 on the base substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first signal transfer layer 301 on the base substrate; and / or, the orthographic projection of the power connection line 40 on the base substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second signal transfer layer 302 on the base substrate; and / or, the orthographic projection of the power connection line 40 on the base substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the signal transmission layer 20 on the base substrate.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 1 , in some embodiments, the first signal transfer layer 301 surrounds the display area AA.

[0100] By setting the first layer of signal transfer layer 301 to surround the display area AA, the electrical connection between the first layer of signal transfer layer 301 and the signal transmission layer 20 can be achieved in multiple border areas, so that the signal can be transmitted between the signal transmission layer 20 and the signal transfer layer 30 from multiple directions, increasing the transmission path of the signal when it is transmitted between the signal transmission layer 20 and the signal transfer layer 30, thereby better improving the uniformity of the signal transmission of the signal transmission layer 20 in the display product.

[0101] As shown in FIG. 1 , in some embodiments, the second signal transfer layer 302 surrounds the display area AA.

[0102] By setting the second-layer signal transfer layer 302 to surround the display area AA, electrical connection between the first-layer signal transfer layer 301 and the second-layer signal transfer layer 302 can be achieved in multiple border areas, so that the signal can be transmitted between the second-layer signal transfer layer 302 and the first-layer signal transfer layer 301 from multiple directions, and at the same time, it can be transmitted through the first part L1 and the second part L2 in multiple directions. This ensures reliability while better balancing the current density on the signal transmission layer 20 and improving the uniformity of signal transmission by the signal transmission layer 20 in the display product.

When the first signal transfer layer 301 and the second signal transfer layer 302 transmit signals between the signal transmission layer 20 and the first signal terminal VSS, the second part L2 and the first part L1 jointly realize signal transmission.

In the display substrate provided by the above embodiment, since the signal is transmitted to the signal transmission layer 20 through the second part L2 and the first part L1 at the same time, the signal is transmitted simultaneously on multiple layers when passing through the first signal transfer layer 301. In this way, even if the thickness of the first signal transfer layer 301 is relatively thin, its loading is prevented from being too large, thereby ensuring that the first signal transfer layer 301 is not burned by the current during the transmission of the signal, thereby well ensuring the yield of the display substrate.
