[0100] Details
[0101] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person skilled in the art can easily understand that the method and content can be transformed into other 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 and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other in any manner.
[0102] In the drawings, the size of one or more components, layer thicknesses, or regions may be exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, one embodiment of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to these dimensions, and the shapes and sizes of one or more components in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate idealized examples, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0103] 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. "Multiple" in this disclosure means two or more.
[0104] 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.
[0105] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connected," and "coupled" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the meanings of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.
[0106] 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 transmission 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 multiple functions.
[0107] 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) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. In this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0108] In this specification, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. The functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" are sometimes 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. Furthermore, the gate electrode can also be referred to as the control electrode.
[0109] 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°.
[0110] In this specification, circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons are not in the strict sense, but may be approximate circles, approximate ellipses, approximate triangles, approximate rectangles, approximate trapezoids, approximate pentagons or approximate hexagons, etc. There may be some small deformations caused by tolerances, such as chamfers, arc edges and deformations.
[0111] In this disclosure, "approximately" and "substantially" are used without strict boundaries, allowing for process and measurement errors. In this disclosure, "same" includes both completely identical and substantially the same, and "substantially the same" means that the difference in value is within 10%.
[0112] In this specification, "A extends along direction B" means that A may include a main portion and a secondary portion connected to the main portion, the main portion being a line, line segment, or strip, extending along direction B, and the length of the main portion extending along direction B being greater than the length of the secondary portion extending along other directions. Throughout this specification, "A extends along direction B" means "the main portion of A extends along direction B."
[0113] As used herein, "A and B are of the same layer structure" or "A and B are arranged in the same layer" means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, or that the surfaces of A and B close to the substrate are at substantially the same distance from the substrate, or that the surfaces of A and B close to the substrate are in direct contact with the same film layer. "The same layer" does not always mean that the thickness or height of the layer is the same in a cross-sectional view. The "thickness" of a film layer is the dimension of the film layer in a direction perpendicular to the display substrate. "The orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the orthographic projection of B falls within the range of the orthographic projection of A, or that the orthographic projection of A covers the orthographic projection of B.
[0114] With the development of display technology, how to save power consumption of display substrates has become an issue that needs to be considered.
[0115] This embodiment provides a display substrate and a display device, which can save the overall power consumption of the display substrate.
[0116] This embodiment provides a display substrate, comprising: a substrate, a plurality of sub-pixels, a plurality of first power lines, and M first voltage supply groups. The substrate comprises: a display area and a first frame area located on one side of the display area. The plurality of sub-pixels and the plurality of first power lines are located in the display area. The plurality of sub-pixels are divided into N sub-pixel groups, each sub-pixel group comprising a plurality of sub-pixels emitting light of the same color, and different sub-pixel groups are configured to emit light of different colors. At least one sub-pixel comprises: a pixel circuit and a light-emitting element connected to the pixel circuit. Each first power line is connected to the pixel circuit of the plurality of sub-pixels emitting light of the same color. The M first voltage supply groups are located in the first frame area, and the M first voltage supply groups are configured to provide different first voltage signals. Each first voltage supply group is configured to provide a first voltage signal to the pixel circuit in at least one sub-pixel group via at least one first power line. M and N are both integers greater than 1, and M is less than or equal to N.
[0117] In some examples, the number of sub-pixel groups may be the same as the number of first voltage power supply groups, that is, M may be equal to N. Each first voltage power supply group may provide a first voltage signal to a sub-pixel group. Different sub-pixel groups receive different first voltage signals. In other examples, M may be less than N, and at least one first voltage power supply group may provide a first voltage signal to at least two sub-pixel groups. The first voltage signals received by at least two sub-pixel groups may be the same. For example, one first voltage power supply group among the M first voltage power supply groups may be configured to provide the same first voltage signal to the pixel circuits in two sub-pixel groups. This embodiment is not limited to this.
[0118] In some examples, each of the M first voltage power supply groups can be configured to provide a first voltage signal that is different from the remaining first voltage power supply groups. In other words, the M first voltage power supply groups can provide M different first voltage signals. In other examples, at least two of the M first voltage power supply groups can be configured to provide different first voltage signals. For example, the M first voltage power supply groups can be configured to provide M-1 different first voltage signals, two of the M first voltage power supply groups can provide the same first voltage signal, and the remaining first voltage power supply groups can be configured to provide different first voltage signals. This embodiment is not limited to this.
[0119] In some examples, multiple pixel circuits in a subpixel group may be connected to multiple first power lines, and a first voltage supply group may be configured to provide a first voltage signal to the pixel circuits in the subpixel group via the multiple first power lines. In other examples, multiple pixel circuits in a subpixel group may be connected to one first power line, and a first voltage supply group may be configured to provide a first voltage signal to the pixel circuits in the subpixel group via the one first power line. This embodiment is not limited to this.
[0120] In some examples, the pixel circuit of a sub-pixel may include at least: a driving transistor, a first light emission control transistor, and a storage capacitor. The first electrode of the first light emission control transistor may be connected to a first power line, and the second electrode may be connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor. The first electrode of the storage capacitor may be connected to the gate of the driving transistor, and the second electrode may be connected to the first power line. The first power line may be electrically connected to the first electrode of the first light emission control transistor and the second electrode of the storage capacitor of the pixel circuits of multiple sub-pixels emitting light of the same color.
[0121] The display substrate provided in this embodiment provides first voltage signals to sub-pixels in groups, so that different sub-pixel groups in the display area receive different first voltage signals, which can help reduce power consumption of the display substrate.
[0122] In some exemplary embodiments, the first border area may include: a first fan-out area and a first signal access area, arranged sequentially in a direction away from the display area. Each first voltage power supply group may include at least: at least one first power supply line located in the first fan-out area and at least one first voltage contact pad located in the first signal access area; at least one first power supply line is connected to the at least one first voltage contact pad. In some examples, the first border area may further include: a second fan-out area and a bending area. The second fan-out area and the bending area may be located on the side of the first fan-out area closer to the display area, with the bending area connecting the first fan-out area and the second fan-out area. Each first voltage power supply group may further include: at least one second power supply line located in the second fan-out area and at least one first power supply bending line located in the bending area. The at least one second power supply line is connected to multiple first power supply lines transmitting the same first voltage signal, and the at least one first power supply bending line connects at least one first power supply line and at least one second power supply line. In this example, the routing of the first voltage power supply group can be arranged based on the structure of the first border area, which facilitates routing space arrangement.
[0123] In some exemplary embodiments, the second power supply line may extend at least along a first direction, the first power supply meander line may extend at least along a second direction, and the first power line may extend at least along the second direction, wherein the first direction intersects the second direction. At least one first power supply line may be symmetrically arranged about a midline of the first border region along the first direction. This exemplary wiring arrangement helps save layout space.
[0124] In some exemplary embodiments, the second power supply line can be connected to multiple first power supply lines via a first-type voltage transfer electrode, and at least one first power supply zigzag line can be connected to the second power supply line and multiple first power supply lines via a second-type voltage transfer electrode. The first-type voltage transfer electrode and the second-type voltage transfer electrode can be co-layered. The routing and connection method of the first voltage power supply group in this example can save layout space and facilitate the uniform design of the film layer pattern.
[0125] In some exemplary embodiments, the distance between the orthographic projections of the first power supply lines of at least two of the M first voltage power supply groups on the substrate may be greater than zero. In other words, the orthographic projections of the first power supply lines of the at least two first voltage power supply groups on the substrate may not overlap. The first power supply lines may include at least two interconnected traces. For example, the first power supply lines may have a double-layer trace structure, or a triple-layer trace structure. For example, in a direction perpendicular to the display substrate, the display substrate may include: a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, a first source / drain metal layer, a second source / drain metal layer, and a third source / drain metal layer disposed on the substrate; the first power supply line of at least one first voltage power supply group may include sub-traces located in at least two metal layers among the first source / drain metal layer, the second source / drain metal layer, and the third source / drain metal layer. For example, the first power supply lines of the multiple first voltage power supply groups may each include a double-layer trace or a triple-layer trace. In another example, the first power supply line of at least one first voltage power supply group may include a triple-layer trace, while the first power supply lines of the remaining first voltage power supply groups may include a double-layer trace, to meet the voltage drop requirements of the different first power supply lines. The first power supply line of this example adopts a multi-layer routing design, which can reduce the voltage drop of the first power supply line.
[0126] In some exemplary embodiments, the first power supply lines of different first voltage power supply groups may be located in different conductive layers, and the orthographic projections of the first power supply lines of at least two first voltage power supply groups on the substrate may partially overlap. For example, the first power supply line of at least one first voltage power supply group may be located in the first source / drain metal layer, the second source / drain metal layer, or the third source / drain metal layer. The first power supply lines of the multiple first voltage power supply groups in this example can be routed on a single layer, thereby reducing the need for via digging and overlapping connections and simplifying the manufacturing process.
[0127] In some exemplary embodiments, the first power supply lines of the M first voltage power supply groups may have the same line width in the same extension direction. This example employs a uniform width design for the first power supply lines of the multiple first voltage power supply groups, which not only helps reduce the impedance of the first power supply lines but also helps optimize the routing space.
[0128] In some exemplary embodiments, the line widths of the first power supply lines of at least two adjacent first voltage power supply groups along the same extension direction may be different. This example employs a unequal width design for the first power supply lines of multiple first voltage power supply groups, allowing for tailored voltage drops across different first power supply lines, thereby accommodating differentiated designs for the different first power supply lines.
[0129] In some exemplary embodiments, the N sub-pixel groups may include: a first sub-pixel group emitting a first color light, a second sub-pixel group emitting a second color light, and a third sub-pixel group emitting a third color light. The M first voltage supply groups may include: a first first voltage supply group providing a first first voltage signal, a second first voltage supply group providing a second first voltage signal, and a third first voltage supply group providing a third first voltage signal. The first first voltage supply group is configured to provide the first first voltage signal to the first sub-pixel group. The second first voltage supply group is configured to provide the second first voltage signal to the second sub-pixel group. The third first voltage supply group is configured to provide the third first voltage signal to the third sub-pixel group. In this example, M may be equal to N, and both are three. In some examples, the first color light may be blue light (B), the second color light may be red light (R), and the third color light may be green light (G); the first first voltage signal may be greater than the second first voltage signal, and the second first voltage signal may be greater than the third first voltage signal. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, the number of sub-pixel groups can be three, the number of first voltage supply groups can be two, the first first voltage supply group can be configured to provide a first first voltage signal to a first sub-pixel group (e.g., including blue sub-pixels), and the second first voltage supply group can be configured to provide a second first voltage signal to a second sub-pixel group (e.g., including red sub-pixels) and a third sub-pixel group (e.g., including green sub-pixels). In this example, the grouping design of the first voltage signal can be used to implement RGB brightness grouping control, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power consumption of the first voltage signal.
[0130] In some exemplary embodiments, the display substrate may further include a bottom shielding layer, which may be connected to the first first voltage power supply group. In this example, by connecting the first first voltage power supply line group to the bottom shielding layer, the impedance of the first first voltage power supply group may be reduced.
[0131] In some exemplary embodiments, the average line width of the first power supply line of the first first voltage power supply group may be greater than the average line width of the first power supply line of the second first voltage power supply group, and the average line width of the first power supply line of the second first voltage power supply group may be greater than the average line width of the first power supply line of the third first voltage power supply group. The average line width of the first power supply line in this example refers to the average line width of multiple line segments of the first power supply line. In some examples, the first power supply line of each first voltage power supply group may adopt a non-uniform width design. This example can meet the differentiated design requirements of different first power supply lines by setting the average line width of the first power supply lines of multiple first voltage power supply groups.
[0132] In some exemplary embodiments, the display substrate may further include: L second voltage power supply groups located in the first border region, the L second voltage power supply groups may be configured to provide different second voltage signals, and each second voltage power supply group may be configured to provide a second voltage signal to the light-emitting element in at least one subpixel group, where L is an integer greater than 1 and L is less than or equal to N. The second voltage signal is different from the first voltage signal; for example, the second voltage signal may be less than the first voltage signal. In some examples, the start-up voltages of subpixels emitting different colors of light are different. By grouping the second voltage signals, precise control of the brightness of subpixels of different colors of light can be achieved, thereby reducing power consumption.
[0133] In some examples, the number of sub-pixel groups may be the same as the number of second voltage supply groups, that is, L may be equal to N. Each second voltage supply group may provide a second voltage signal to a sub-pixel group. Different sub-pixel groups receive different second voltage signals. In other examples, L may be less than N, and at least one second voltage supply group may provide a first voltage signal to at least two sub-pixel groups. The second voltage signals received by at least two sub-pixel groups may be the same. For example, one second voltage supply group among the L second voltage supply groups may be configured to provide the same second voltage signal to two sub-pixel groups. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.
[0134] In some examples, each of the L second voltage supply groups can be configured to provide a second voltage signal that is different from the remaining second voltage supply groups. In other words, the L second voltage supply groups can provide L different second voltage signals. In other examples, at least two of the L second voltage supply groups can be configured to provide different second voltage signals. For example, the L second voltage supply groups can be configured to provide L-1 different second voltage signals, two of the L second voltage supply groups can provide the same second voltage signal, and the remaining second voltage supply groups can be configured to provide different second voltage signals. This embodiment is not limited to this.
[0135] In some examples, the display area may include multiple second power lines, each of which may be connected to light-emitting elements of multiple sub-pixels that emit light of the same color. For example, the light-emitting elements of the sub-pixels may include an anode and a cathode. The cathode of the light-emitting element may be connected to the second power line.
[0136] In some examples, multiple light-emitting elements in a sub-pixel group can be connected to multiple second power lines, and a second voltage supply group can be configured to provide a second voltage signal to the light-emitting elements in the sub-pixel group through the multiple second power lines. In other examples, multiple light-emitting elements in a sub-pixel group can be connected to a single second power line, and a second voltage supply group can be configured to provide a second voltage signal to the light-emitting elements in the sub-pixel group through the single second power line. This embodiment is not limited to this.

The plurality of sub-pixels PX may be configured to display a dynamic image or a still image. The display area AA may be referred to as an active area. In some examples, a display substrate may be a flexible substrate, and thus the display substrate may be deformable, such as being curled, bent, folded, or rolled.

Alternatively, a pixel unit may include three sub-pixels, and the three sub-pixels may be a red (R) sub-pixel, a green (G) sub-pixel, and a blue (B) sub-pixel. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, a pixel unit may include four sub-pixels, and the four sub-pixels may be a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel, and a white sub-pixel.
[0142] In some examples, at least one sub-pixel may include a pixel circuit and a light-emitting element. The pixel circuit may be configured to drive the connected light-emitting element. For example, the pixel circuit may be configured to provide a driving current to drive the light-emitting element to emit light. The pixel circuit may include multiple transistors and at least one capacitor. For example, the pixel circuit may be a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C, or 8T1C structure. In the above circuit structure, T refers to a thin film transistor, C refers to a capacitor, the number before T represents the number of thin film transistors in the circuit, and the number before C represents the number of capacitors in the circuit.
[0143] In some examples, the light-emitting element may be any one of a light-emitting diode (LED), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), a micro-LED (including mini-LED or micro-LED), etc. For example, the light-emitting element may be an OLED, which may emit red light, green light, blue light, or white light, etc. when driven by its corresponding pixel circuit. The color of the light emitted by the light-emitting element may be determined as needed. In some examples, the light-emitting element may include: an anode, a cathode, and an organic light-emitting layer located between the anode and the cathode. The anode of the light-emitting element may be electrically connected to the corresponding pixel circuit. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.
[0144] In some examples, the shape of the light-emitting element can be a rectangle, a rhombus, a pentagon, or a hexagon. When a pixel unit includes three sub-pixels, the light-emitting elements of the three sub-pixels can be arranged horizontally, vertically, or in a triangular pattern. When a pixel unit includes four sub-pixels, the light-emitting elements of the four sub-pixels can be arranged horizontally, vertically, or in a square pattern. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.
[0145] Figure 2 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel circuit of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. The pixel circuit of this example is illustrated using an 8T1C structure as an example. In some examples, as shown in Figure 2, the pixel circuit of this example may include eight transistors (i.e., a first transistor T1 to an eighth transistor T8) and a storage capacitor Cst. The first transistor T1 may also be referred to as a first reset transistor, the second transistor T2 may also be referred to as a threshold compensation transistor, the third transistor T3 may also be referred to as a drive transistor, the fourth transistor T4 may also be referred to as a data write transistor, the fifth transistor T5 may also be referred to as a first light-emitting control transistor, the sixth transistor T6 may also be referred to as a second light-emitting control transistor, the seventh transistor T7 may also be referred to as a second reset transistor, and the eighth transistor T8 may also be referred to as a third reset transistor.

[0146] In some examples, the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 to the eighth transistor T8 may be first-type transistors, such as P-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 may be a second-type transistor, such as N-type transistors. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the multiple transistors in the pixel circuit may all be P-type transistors, or may all be N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistors in the pixel circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the display substrate, and improve the product yield.
[0147] In some examples, the first type of transistor of the pixel circuit (for example, including the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3 to the eighth transistor T8) can be a low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor, and the second type of transistor of the pixel circuit (for example, including the second transistor T2) can be an oxide thin film transistor. 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 the advantages of high mobility and fast charging, while oxide thin film transistors have the advantages of low leakage current. Integrating low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistors and oxide thin film transistors on a display substrate to form a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPS+Oxide) display substrate can take advantage of the advantages of both, achieve low-frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display quality.

[0150] In this example, the first node N1 is the connection point of the storage capacitor Cst, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3, the second node N2 is the connection point of the fifth transistor T5, the fourth transistor T4, the eighth transistor T8 and the third transistor T3, the third node N3 is the connection point of the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, the second transistor T2 and the sixth transistor T6, and the fourth node N4 is the connection point of the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7 and the light emitting element EL.
[0151] FIG3 is an operating timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown in FIG2. The operating process of the pixel circuit shown in FIG2 will be described below with reference to FIG3. In the pixel circuit, the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3 to the eighth transistor T8 are P-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 is an N-type transistor.
[0152] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , during a frame display period, the operation process of the pixel circuit may include at least: a first stage S11 , a second stage S12 , a third stage S13 , and a fourth stage S14 .
[0153] The first stage S11 is called the first reset stage. The second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 is a low-level signal, turning on the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8. The second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, turning on the second transistor T2. The eighth transistor T8 is turned on, allowing the third initial signal provided by the third initial signal line INIT3 to be supplied to the second node N2. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on, allowing the second initial signal provided by the second initial signal line INIT2 to be supplied to the fourth node N4, initializing the fourth node N4. The first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1 is a high-level signal, the first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1 is a high-level signal, and the emission control signal EM provided by the emission control line EML is a high-level signal, turning off the fourth transistor T4, the first transistor T1, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6. During this stage, the light-emitting element EL does not emit light.
[0154] The second stage S12 is called the second reset stage. The first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1 is a low-level signal, turning on the first transistor T1; the second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, turning on the second transistor T2. The first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, so that the first initial signal line provided by the first initial signal line INIT1 is provided to the first node N1, initializing the first node N1. The second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 is a high-level signal, the first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1 is a high-level signal, and the emission control signal EM provided by the emission control line EML is a high-level signal, turning off the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6. During this stage, the light-emitting element EL does not emit light.
[0155] The third stage S13 is called the data writing stage or the threshold compensation stage. The first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1 is a low-level signal, and the fourth transistor T4 is turned on. The second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, and the second transistor T2 is turned on. During this stage, the first electrode of the storage capacitor Cst is at a low level, and the third transistor T3 is turned on. The second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the third transistor T3 are turned on, so that the data voltage Vdata output by the data line DL is provided to the first node N1 through the second node N2, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor T2. The difference between the data voltage Vdata output by the data line DL and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the storage capacitor Cst. The voltage at the first electrode of the storage capacitor Cst (i.e., the first node N1) is Vdata-|Vth|, where Vdata is the data voltage output by the data line DL and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. The first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1 is a high level signal, the second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 is a high level signal, and the light-emitting control signal EM provided by the light-emitting control line EML is a high level signal, so that the first transistor T1, the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are disconnected.
[0156] In the fourth stage S14, the emission control signal EM provided by the emission control line EML can be switched from a high-level signal to a low-level signal, turning on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6. The second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a low-level signal, turning off the second transistor T2. The first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1, the first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1, and the second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 are high-level signals, turning off the fourth transistor T4, the first transistor T1, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8. The first voltage signal Vdd output by the first power line VDD can provide a driving voltage to the anode of the light-emitting element EL through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the third transistor T3, and the sixth transistor T6, thereby driving the light-emitting element EL to emit light.
[0157] During the driving process of the pixel circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 is determined by the voltage difference between its gate and the first electrode. Since the voltage of the first node N1 is Vdata-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:
[0158] I=K×(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K×[(Vdd-Vdata+|Vth|)-Vth]2 =K×[Vdd-Vdata] 2 ;
[0159] Wherein, I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, that is, the driving current driving the light-emitting element, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vdata is the data voltage output by the data line DL, and Vdd is the first voltage signal output by the first power line VDD.
[0160] From the above equation, it can be seen that the current flowing through the light-emitting element is independent of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. Therefore, the pixel circuit of this embodiment can effectively compensate for the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. Moreover, the pixel circuit provided by this embodiment can improve the display quality caused by low frequency and enhance the display effect of the light-emitting element.
[0161] In some examples, sub-pixels emitting light of different colors require different data voltage ranges. Furthermore, according to the above drive current calculation formula, the drive current of a sub-pixel is related to the data voltage and the first voltage signal. Therefore, sub-pixels emitting light of different colors (e.g., red, blue, and green sub-pixels) have different requirements for the first voltage signal. This embodiment can achieve power savings by grouping the first voltage signals to provide sub-pixels emitting light of different colors with first voltage signals that meet their actual needs.
[0162] In some examples, as shown in Figure 1, the first frame area B1 may include: a second fan-out area B11, a bending area B12, a first fan-out area B13, a second signal access area B14, and a first signal access area B15, which are arranged in sequence along a direction away from the display area AA. The second fan-out area B11 may be connected to the second frame area B2 and located on one side of the display area AA. The bending area B12 may be connected to the second fan-out area B11 and the first fan-out area B13 and located on the side of the second fan-out area B11 away from the display area AA. The bending area B12 may cause the first fan-out area B13, the first signal access area B15, and the second signal access area B14 to bend to the back of the display area AA. The bending area B12 may include multiple bending connecting lines to connect the traces transmitting the same signal in the second fan-out area B11 and the first fan-out area B13. The first fan-out area B13 may be located on the side of the bending area B12 away from the display area AA.
[0163] In some examples, as shown in FIG1 , the second signal access area B14 can be located on a side of the first fan-out area B13 away from the display area AA. The second signal access area B14 can be configured to house a driver chip (IC). For example, the driver chip housed in the second signal access area B14 can be a touch and display driver integrated circuit (TDDI). The second signal access area B14 can also be referred to as a driver chip placement area. For example, the driver chip can be configured to generate data signals required to drive sub-pixels.
[0164] In some examples, as shown in FIG1 , the first signal access area B15 can be located on a side of the second signal access area B14 away from the display area AA. The first signal access area B15 can be provided with multiple contact pads, which can be configured to bind a flexible printed circuit (FPC) so that multiple signal lines (e.g., power lines, control signal lines, etc.) are connected to an external control device through the multiple contact pads. The first signal access area B15 can also be referred to as a circuit binding area.
[0165] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating the transmission of a first voltage signal according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. In some examples, the display area AA may include multiple subpixels and multiple first power lines. The multiple subpixels in the display area AA may be divided into N subpixel groups. Each subpixel group may include multiple subpixels emitting the same color light. Different subpixel groups may be configured to emit different colors of light. This example illustrates the division of the multiple subpixels in the display area AA into three subpixel groups. The display area AA may include a first subpixel group P1, a second subpixel group P2, and a third subpixel group P3. The first subpixel group P1 may include multiple subpixels PX1 emitting a first color light, the second subpixel group P2 may include multiple subpixels PX2 emitting a second color light, and the third subpixel group P3 may include multiple subpixels PX3 emitting a third color light. For example, the first color light may be blue light, the second color light may be red light, and the third color light may be green light. In other words, the first subpixel group P1 may be a blue subpixel group, the second subpixel group P2 may be a red subpixel group, and the third subpixel group P3 may be a green subpixel group. This embodiment is not limited to this.
[0166] In some examples, a sub-pixel may include: a pixel circuit and a connected light-emitting element. FIG4 shows the pixel circuit of a sub-pixel in display area AA as an example, and omits the light-emitting element of the sub-pixel. As shown in FIG4 , the multiple pixel circuits in display area AA can be arranged in an array into multiple rows and columns. A row of pixel circuits may include multiple pixel circuits arranged along a first direction X, and a column of pixel circuits may include multiple pixel circuits arranged along a second direction Y. The first sub-pixel group P1 may include multiple columns of pixel circuits, each column of pixel circuits may include multiple pixel circuits PX1-1; the second sub-pixel group P2 may include multiple columns of pixel circuits, each column of pixel circuits may include multiple pixel circuits PX2-1; the third sub-pixel group P3 may include multiple columns of pixel circuits, each column of pixel circuits may include multiple pixel circuits PX3-1.
[0167] In some examples, as shown in FIG4 , the plurality of first power lines in display area AA may include: a plurality of first power lines VDD1, a plurality of first power lines VDD2, and a plurality of first power lines VDD3. The first power line VDD1 may be configured to transmit a first voltage signal Vdd1, the first power line VDD2 may be configured to transmit a first voltage signal Vdd2, and the first power line VDD3 may be configured to transmit a first voltage signal Vdd3. The first voltage signals Vdd1, Vdd2, and Vdd3 may have different voltage values.
[0168] In some examples, as shown in FIG4 , each column of pixel circuits can be electrically connected to a first power line and configured to receive a first voltage signal. A column of pixel circuits PX1-1 in the first subpixel group P1 can be electrically connected to a first power line VDD1 and configured to receive a first voltage signal Vdd1. A column of pixel circuits PX2-1 in the second subpixel group P2 can be electrically connected to a first power line VDD2 and configured to receive a first voltage signal Vdd2. A column of pixel circuits PX3-1 in the third subpixel group P3 can be electrically connected to a first power line VDD3 and configured to receive a first voltage signal Vdd3. For example, the first subpixel group P1 includes blue subpixels, the second subpixel group P2 includes red subpixels, and the third pixel group P3 includes green subpixels. The first voltage signal Vdd1 provided to the first pixel group P1 can be greater than the first voltage signal Vdd2 provided to the second subpixel group P2, and the first voltage signal Vdd2 provided to the second subpixel group P2 can be greater than the first voltage signal Vdd3 provided to the third subpixel group P3. In this example, since the first voltage signal required by the blue sub-pixel is larger, power loss can be avoided by providing the blue sub-pixel, red sub-pixel and green sub-pixel with first voltage signals that meet their respective requirements, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power.

For example, the first power supply lines VDD1, VDD2, and VDD3 may be located on a side of the first voltage transfer electrode 141, the second voltage transfer electrode 142, and the third voltage transfer electrode 143 away from the substrate, and the second power supply lines 111, 121, and 131 may be located on a side of the first voltage transfer electrode 141, the second voltage transfer electrode 142, and the third voltage transfer electrode 143 away from the substrate.

For example, the first power supply bend line may be connected to the corresponding second power supply line through a second type voltage transfer electrode, and the first power supply bend line may be directly connected to the first power supply line. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, the first power supply bend line may be directly connected to both the first power supply line and the second power supply line.
[0174] In some examples, as shown in FIG4 , the first power supply lines 112 , 122 , and 132 located in the first fan-out area B13 can be arranged sequentially along the opposite direction of the second direction Y.

[0246] In some examples, the second anode connection electrode 324 can be connected to the first anode connection electrode 321 through the fifty-first via V51 to achieve electrical connection with the sixth transistor T6 of the pixel circuit. The multiple data lines can be in the shape of a broken line extending along the second direction Y. For example, the data line DL(j) can be connected to the data connection electrode 323 through the fifty-third via V53 to achieve electrical connection with the fourth transistor T4 of the pixel circuit.

The anode 354 of the fourth light-emitting element PX4-2 may be connected to the pixel circuit in the jth column of the last row through a via hole provided in the tenth insulating layer. The anode 351 of the first light-emitting element PX1-2 may be connected to the pixel circuit in the j+1th column of the second-to-last row.

In this example, the anodes of the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element may be connected to the corresponding pixel circuits via a winding wire. For example, the winding wire and the connected anode may form an integrated structure connected to each other.
[0254] In some examples, the same column of pixel circuits can be connected to light-emitting elements that emit the same color light, so that different first power lines can provide first voltage signals to light-emitting elements that emit different colors of light. For example, the pixel circuits in the jth column are connected to the first power line VDD3 and are connected to multiple light-emitting elements that emit a third color light (e.g., green light); the pixel circuits in the j+1th column are connected to the first power line VDD1 and are connected to multiple light-emitting elements that emit a first color light (e.g., blue light); the pixel circuits in the j+2th column are connected to the first power line VDD3 and are connected to multiple light-emitting elements that emit a third color light (e.g., green light); and the pixel circuits in the j+3th column are connected to the first power line VDD2 and are connected to multiple light-emitting elements that emit a second color light (e.g., red light).

For example, the fifth or sixth conductive layer can be omitted. In another example, the bottom shielding layer can be omitted. The preparation process of this exemplary embodiment can be implemented using currently mature preparation equipment and is well compatible with existing preparation processes. The process is simple to implement, easy to implement, and has high production efficiency, low production cost, and high yield rate.

The orthographic projection of the third trace 122a-3 on the substrate can partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the second connection portion 133a-3 of the first power supply meander line 133a on the substrate.
[0279] In some examples, as shown in Figures 23A to 23F, the second connection portion 133a-3 of the first power supply meander line 133a can extend to the first fan-out region and connect to the first power supply line 132a in the first fan-out region. The second connection portion 123a-3 located in the fifth conductive layer and the second trace 132a-2 of the first power supply line 132a can be interconnected as an integrated structure.

[0285] In some examples, as shown in FIG24C , the eighth insulating layer in the first fan-out region may be provided with an eleventh opening K11, a twelfth opening K12, a thirteenth opening K13, a fourteenth opening K14, and a fifteenth opening K15.

[0287] Figure 25 is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of area C5 in Figure 24A. In some examples, the third trace of the sixth conductive layer of the first power supply line may have a fifth edge F5, the second trace of the fifth conductive layer may have a fourth edge F4, the first trace of the fourth conductive layer may have a third edge F3, the opening of the seventh insulating layer may have a first edge F1, and the opening of the eighth insulating layer may have a second edge F2. The orthographic projection of the opening of the seventh insulating layer on the substrate may overlap the orthographic projection of the corresponding opening of the eighth insulating layer on the substrate. The orthographic projection of the third trace on the substrate may overlap the orthographic projection of the corresponding second trace on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the second trace on the substrate may overlap the orthographic projection of the corresponding first trace on the substrate.
[0288] The display substrate provided in this embodiment has three first voltage power supply groups arranged in the first border area, and the first voltage signals required by the blue sub-pixel, the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel can be designed separately, so as to provide different first voltage signals to the blue sub-pixel, the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel, thereby reducing power consumption.
[0289] Figure 26 is another routing diagram of the first border area of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 27 is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of area C6 in Figure 26. In some examples, as shown in Figures 26 and 27, the first fan-out area B14 may include: multiple first power supply lines (for example, including first power supply lines 112a and 112b, 122a and 122b, 132a and 132b). The line widths of the line segments of the multiple first power supply lines in the same extension direction can be different, that is, the multiple first power supply lines can adopt a non-equal width design. For example, the line width of the line segment of the first power lines 112a and 112b extending along the first direction X (that is, the length along the second direction Y) may be greater than the line width of the line segment of the first power lines 122a and 122b extending along the first direction X, and the line width of the line segment of the first power lines 122a and 122b extending along the first direction X may be greater than the line width of the line segment of the first power lines 132a and 132b extending along the first direction X; the line width of the line segment of the first power lines 112a and 112b extending along the second direction Y (that is, the length along the first direction X) may be greater than the line width of the line segment of the first power lines 122a and 122b extending along the second direction Y, and the line width of the line segment of the first power lines 122a and 122b extending along the second direction Y may be greater than the line width of the line segment of the first power lines 132a and 132b extending along the second direction Y.
[0290] In some examples, the first power supply lines 112a and 112b can be configured to transmit a first first voltage signal Vdd1, the first power supply lines 122a and 122b can be configured to transmit a second first voltage signal Vdd2, and the first power supply lines 132a and 132b can be configured to transmit a third first voltage signal Vdd3. The first voltage signal Vdd1 is configured to be provided to the first sub-pixel group (including multiple blue sub-pixels), the first voltage signal Vdd2 is configured to be provided to the second sub-pixel group (including multiple red sub-pixels), and the first voltage signal Vdd3 is configured to be provided to the third sub-pixel group (including multiple green sub-pixels). Since the current of the blue sub-pixels is relatively large, the impedance can be reduced by reducing the IR drop of the first voltage signal Vdd1. In this example, by setting the line width of the first power supply lines 112a and 112b to be larger than the line width of the other first power supply lines, it is beneficial to reduce the impedance of the first voltage signal Vdd1, thereby ensuring the display effect of the first sub-pixel group.
[0291] In other examples, in order to avoid increasing the size of the first border area, the arrangement space of multiple first power supply lines providing different first voltage signals is limited, and the transmission voltage drop of the first voltage signal can be reduced by wiring on the same layer. For example, since the pixel current of the blue sub-pixel is relatively large, the voltage drop of the first voltage signal caused by the blue sub-pixel is relatively large, which easily affects the display uniformity of the blue sub-pixel. By adopting a multi-layer metal routing design for the first power supply lines 112a and 112b, the transmission voltage drop of the first voltage signal Vdd1 can be reduced, thereby improving the display uniformity of the blue sub-pixel. For example, the number of routing layers included in the first power supply lines 112a and 112b can be greater than the number of routing layers included in the first power supply lines 122a and 122b and 132a and 132b. In some examples, the first power supply lines 122a, 122b, 132a, and 132b can be a three-layer routing structure including a fourth conductive layer, a fifth conductive layer, and a sixth conductive layer; the first power supply lines 112a and 112b can be a four-layer routing structure including a bottom shielding layer, a fourth conductive layer, a fifth conductive layer, and a sixth conductive layer. The routing portion located in the bottom shielding layer can be set in an area within the first fan-out region that is not blocked by the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, for example, it can be located below the first routing of the fourth conductive layer within region 6. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, the routing portion of the first power supply lines 112a and 112b located in the bottom shielding layer can be located in an area on one side of the laterally extending drive lead line close to the second fan-out region B11.
[0292] The remaining structures of the display substrate of this example can be referred to the description of the aforementioned embodiment, and thus will not be described again here.
[0293] Figure 28 is another schematic diagram of the routing of the first border area of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 29 is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of area C7 in Figure 28. In some examples, as shown in Figures 28 and 29, the first fan-out area B14 may include multiple first power supply lines 112, 122, and 132. The first power supply line 112 is configured to transmit a first voltage signal Vdd1, the first power supply line 122 is configured to transmit a first voltage signal Vdd2, and the first power supply line 132 is configured to transmit a first voltage signal Vdd3. The line widths of the first power supply lines 112, 122, and 132 in the same extension direction can be substantially the same.
[0294] In some examples, as shown in Figures 28 and 29, the first power supply lines 112, 122, and 132 may be located in different conductive layers. For example, the first power supply line 112 may be located in the fourth conductive layer, the first power supply line 122 may be located in the fifth conductive layer, and the first power supply line 132 may be located in the sixth conductive layer. A seventh insulating layer and an eighth insulating layer may be provided between the first power supply line 112 and the first power supply line 122, and a ninth insulating layer may be provided between the first power supply lines 122 and 132. The first power supply lines 122 and 132 may be provided with a plurality of hollow portions to facilitate the exhaust of the organic insulating layer (including the eighth insulating layer and the ninth insulating layer). The plurality of hollow portions on the first power supply lines 122 and 132 are omitted in Figures 28 and 29.
[0295] Figure 30A is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of region C8 in Figure 28. Figure 30A illustrates the structures of the fourth, fifth, and sixth conductive layers in region C8. Figure 30B is a schematic diagram of the fourth and fifth conductive layers in Figure 30A. Figure 30C is a schematic diagram of the fifth conductive layer in Figure 30A. Figure 31A is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of region C9 in Figure 28. Figure 31A illustrates the structures of the fourth, fifth, and sixth conductive layers in region C9. Figure 31B is a schematic diagram of the fourth and fifth conductive layers in Figure 31A. Figure 31C is a schematic diagram of the fifth conductive layer in Figure 31A.
[0296] In some examples, as shown in Figures 30A to 31C , the first power supply line 122 located in the fifth conductive layer may have multiple notches on the side near the bending region, such as a first notch Q1, a second notch Q2, a third notch Q3, a fourth notch Q4, and a fifth notch Q5. The first power supply line 122 and the first power supply bending lines 123a, 123b, and 123c may be interconnected and integrally formed. The first notch Q1 and the second notch Q2 may be located on either side of the first power supply bending line 123a in the first direction X, the third notch Q3 and the fourth notch Q4 may be located on either side of the first power supply bending line 123b in the first direction X, and the fourth notch Q4 may be located between the first power supply bending lines 123b and 123c. The fifth notch Q5 may be located on the side of the first power supply bending line 123c away from the fourth notch Q4.
[0297] In some examples, as shown in FIG30B , the first power supply meandering line 113a located in the fifth conductive layer can extend into the first notch Q1 and connect to the first power supply line 112 located in the fourth conductive layer through the openings in the eighth and seventh insulating layers. As shown in FIG31B , the first power supply meandering line 113b located in the fifth conductive layer can extend into the third notch Q3 and connect to the first power supply line 112 located in the fourth conductive layer through the openings in the eighth and seventh insulating layers. The first power supply meandering line 113c located in the fifth conductive layer can extend into the fifth notch Q5 and connect to the first power supply line 112 located in the fourth conductive layer through the openings in the eighth and seventh insulating layers.
[0298] In some examples, as shown in FIG30A , the first power supply meandering line 133a located in the fifth conductive layer can extend into the second notch Q2, and the first power supply line 132 located in the sixth conductive layer can be connected to the first power supply meandering line 133a through an opening in the ninth insulating layer. As shown in FIG31A , the first power supply meandering line 133b located in the fifth conductive layer can extend into the fourth notch Q4, and the first power supply line 132 located in the sixth conductive layer can be connected to the first power supply meandering line 133b through an opening in the ninth insulating layer.
[0299] In some examples, the orthographic projections of the first power supply lines 112, 122, and 132 on the substrate may partially overlap. For example, the orthographic projection of the first power supply line 132 located in the sixth conductive layer extending along the first direction X on the substrate may overlap the orthographic projection of the first power supply line 122 located in the fifth conductive layer extending along the first direction X on the substrate. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the first power supply line 122 located in the fifth conductive layer extending along the first direction X on the substrate may overlap the orthographic projection of the first power supply line 112 located in the fourth conductive layer extending along the first direction X on the substrate.
[0300] In this example, by arranging multiple first power supply lines in different conductive layers, the routing width of the first power supply lines does not need to be reduced, which is beneficial for reducing the impedance of the first power supply lines and ensuring display uniformity of sub-pixels.
[0301] In some examples, the brightness of sub-pixels emitting light of different colors (e.g., blue sub-pixels, red sub-pixels, and green sub-pixels) can be controlled by the magnitude of a second voltage signal. For example, by providing different second voltage signals to the RGB sub-pixels based on the different turn-on voltages of the RGB sub-pixels, the pixel circuit can output the same voltage to the anodes of the light-emitting elements emitting light of different colors to illuminate the light-emitting elements emitting light of different colors. This allows the maximum value of the data signal range of the RGB sub-pixels to remain the same, thereby achieving fine control of the brightness of the RGB sub-pixels in groups and saving power with the second voltage signal.
[0302] FIG32 is a schematic diagram illustrating the transmission of a second voltage signal according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. In some examples, as shown in FIG32 , the multiple subpixels in display area AA can be divided into three subpixel groups. For example, the first subpixel group can include multiple first subpixels PX1 that emit a first color light (e.g., blue light), the second subpixel group can include multiple second subpixels PX2 that emit a second color light (e.g., red light), and the third subpixel group can include multiple third subpixels PX3 that emit a third color light (e.g., green light). The first subpixel group can be connected to a second power line VSS1, the second subpixel group can be connected to a second power line VSS2, and the third subpixel group can be connected to a second power line VSS3. The second power line VSS1 can be configured to transmit a first second voltage signal Vss1, the second power line VSS2 can be configured to transmit a second second voltage signal Vss2, and the second power line VSS3 can be configured to transmit a third second voltage signal Vss3. The second voltage signals Vss1, Vss2, and Vss3 can be second voltage signals with different voltage values. For example, the second voltage signal Vss1 may be lower than the second voltage signal Vss2 , and the second voltage signal Vss2 may be lower than the second voltage signal Vss3 .
[0303] In some examples, the cathodes of the light-emitting elements of a column of first sub-pixels PX1 in the first sub-pixel group can be an integrated structure connected to each other, serving as a second power line VSS1; the cathodes of the light-emitting elements of a column of second sub-pixels PX2 in the second sub-pixel group can be an integrated structure connected to each other, serving as a second power line VSS2; and the cathodes of the light-emitting elements of a column of third sub-pixels PX3 in the third sub-pixel group can be an integrated structure connected to each other, serving as a second power line VSS3.
[0304] In some examples, as shown in FIG32 , the first border area B1 may include L second voltage power supply groups, such as a first second voltage power supply group 21, a second second voltage power supply group 22, and a third second voltage power supply group 23. Each second voltage power supply group may be configured to provide a corresponding second voltage signal to at least one sub-pixel group. In this example, the second voltage power supply group 21 may be configured to provide a second voltage signal Vss1 to the first sub-pixel group, the second voltage power supply group 22 may be configured to provide a second voltage signal Vss2 to the second sub-pixel group, and the second voltage power supply group 23 may be configured to provide a second voltage signal Vss3 to the third sub-pixel group.
[0305] In some examples, as shown in FIG32 , the second voltage supply group 21 may include: a third power supply line 211 located in the second fan-out area B11, a fourth power supply line 212 located in the first fan-out area B13, a second power supply meander line 213 located in the bend area B12, and second voltage contact pads 214a and 214b located in the first signal access area B15. The second voltage supply group 22 may include: a third power supply line 221 located in the second fan-out area B11, a fourth power supply line 222 located in the first fan-out area B13, a second power supply meander line 223 located in the bend area B12, and second voltage contact pads 224a and 224b located in the first signal access area B15. The second voltage supply group 23 may include: a third power supply line 231 located in the second fan-out area B11, a fourth power supply line 232 located in the first fan-out area B13, a second power supply meander line 233 located in the bend area B12, and second voltage contact pads 234a and 234b located in the first signal access area B15.
[0306] In some examples, as shown in FIG32 , the third power supply lines 211, 221, and 231 located in the second fan-out area B11 may be arranged sequentially along a direction opposite to the second direction Y. The third power supply lines 211, 221, and 231 may be at least traces extending along the first direction X. The third power supply line may be connected to the second power line via a third-type voltage transfer electrode, and the third-type voltage transfer electrode may include: a seventh voltage transfer electrode 241, an eighth voltage transfer electrode 242, and a ninth voltage transfer electrode 243. The third power supply line 211 may be connected to the second power line VSS1 via the seventh voltage transfer electrode 241, the third power supply line 221 may be connected to the second power line VSS2 via the eighth voltage transfer electrode 242, and the third power supply line 231 may be connected to the second power line VSS3 via the ninth voltage transfer electrode 243.
[0307] This example provides three different second voltage signals by setting three second voltage power supply groups in the first frame area, which can meet the different requirements of the three sub-pixel groups emitting different colors of light in the display area for the second voltage signal, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power consumption of the second voltage signal.

Figure 33 primarily illustrates the three third power supply lines 211, 221, and 231 of the second fan-out region B11, the multiple curved connecting lines of the bending region B12, and some of the routing of the first fan-out region B13 (e.g., including first power supply lines 212a and 212b, 222a and 222b, and 232a and 232b). Furthermore, Figure 33 also provides an overall diagram of multiple adjacent routing lines of the same type.
[0309] In some examples, as shown in FIG33 , the second fan-out area B11 may include at least three third power supply lines 211, 221, and 231, a first voltage fan-out line (not shown), multiple data fan-out lines (not shown), multiple drive fan-out lines (not shown), and multiple touch fan-out lines (not shown). The first voltage fan-out line may be configured to transmit a first voltage signal.

[0312] In some examples, as shown in Figure 33, the first fan-out area B13 may include: multiple fourth power supply lines (for example, two fourth power supply lines 212a and 212b, two fourth power supply lines 222a and 222b, and two fourth power supply lines 232a and 232b), two first voltage lead lines (for example, first voltage lead lines 191 and 192), multiple data lead lines (including a first group of data lead lines 161 and a second group of data lead lines 162), multiple drive lead lines (including a first group of drive lead lines 171 and a second group of drive lead lines 172), and multiple touch lead lines (including a first group of touch lead lines 181 and a second group of touch lead lines 182).

In other examples, L may be less than N, and at least one second voltage supply group may provide a first voltage signal to at least two sub-pixel groups.

In other words, the L second voltage supply groups can provide L different second voltage signals.

For example, the L second voltage supply groups can be configured to provide L-1 different second voltage signals, two of the L second voltage supply groups can provide the same second voltage signal, and the remaining second voltage supply groups can be configured to provide different second voltage signals. This embodiment is not limited to this.
[0328] In some examples, the display area may include multiple second power lines, and each second power line may be connected to the light-emitting elements of multiple sub-pixels that emit light of the same color. For example, the light-emitting element of the sub-pixel may include an anode and a cathode. The cathode of the light-emitting element may be connected to the second power line. Multiple light-emitting elements in a sub-pixel group may be connected to multiple second power lines, and a second voltage supply group may be configured to provide a second voltage signal to the light-emitting elements in the sub-pixel group through the multiple second power lines. In other examples, multiple light-emitting elements in a sub-pixel group may be connected to a second power line, and a second voltage supply group may be configured to provide a second voltage signal to the light-emitting elements in the sub-pixel group through the one second power line. This embodiment is not limited to this.
[0329] This embodiment provides three different second voltage signals by setting three second voltage power supply groups in the first frame area, which can meet the different requirements of the three sub-pixel groups emitting different colors of light in the display area for the second voltage signal, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power consumption of the second voltage signal.
[0330] In some exemplary embodiments, the N subpixel groups may include: a first subpixel group that emits light of a first color, a second subpixel group that emits light of a second color, and a third subpixel group that emits light of a third color.

The second second voltage supply group is configured to provide the second second voltage signal to the second subpixel group. The third second voltage supply group is configured to provide the third second voltage signal to the third subpixel group. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, the number of subpixel groups may be three, and the number of second voltage supply groups may be two. The first second voltage supply group may be configured to provide the first second voltage signal to the first subpixel group (e.g., including blue subpixels), and the second first voltage supply group may be configured to provide the second second voltage signal to the second subpixel group (e.g., including red subpixels) and the third subpixel group (e.g., including green subpixels). In this example, the grouping design of the second voltage signal can be used to implement RGB brightness grouping control, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power consumption of the second voltage signal.
[0331] In some exemplary embodiments, the first color light may be blue light, the second color light may be red light, and the third color light may be green light. The first second voltage signal may be smaller than the second second voltage signal, and the second second voltage signal may be smaller than the third second voltage signal.
