[0036] One of the above technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present application provides a display substrate, comprising: a substrate, an insulating layer structure, a semiconductor structure and a metal layer structure. The insulating layer structure is located on the substrate. The semiconductor structure is located in the insulating layer structure. The metal layer structure is connected to the insulating layer structure, and the metal layer structure is electrically connected to the semiconductor structure, and the metal layer structure includes at least one metal layer. Among them, at least one metal layer is configured as a grounding fixture for connecting an external device, and the metal layer has a first orthographic projection on the substrate, and the semiconductor structure has a second orthographic projection on the substrate, and the first orthographic projection covers the second orthographic projection. The display substrate provided by the present application completely covers the semiconductor structure in the vertical direction through the metal layer structure provided, so that the metal layer structure can form an electrostatic field to protect the semiconductor structure after being grounded, thereby preventing the semiconductor structure from being affected by the external electric field during the preparation process and causing electrical drift. Therefore, the metal layer structure of the present application utilizes the electrostatic shielding principle to improve the display effect of the display device.

[0038] The relevant technical personnel of this application have noticed that due to the lack of a grounding design specifically for electron beam evaporation in existing Micro LED display substrates, the grounding of the electron beam evaporation equipment is connected to the process edge of the substrate (non-patterned area) or the non-conductive organic photoresist during electron beam evaporation. In the initial stage of electron beam evaporation, the evaporated metal cannot form an effective grounding connection with the grounding of the electron beam evaporation equipment, and cannot effectively extract the charge or play an electric field shielding role. This application uses a grounding design for the display substrate, and when the display substrate is assembled on the evaporation jig before evaporation, the grounding design of the display substrate is connected to the grounding of the electron beam evaporation equipment, so that the grounding design of the display substrate can effectively shield the external electric field, thereby effectively improving the electrical drift problem of the display substrate TFT caused by poor grounding in the early stage of electron beam evaporation.

[0039] The specific implementation of this application is described below through examples:

[0040] As shown in Figure 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a display substrate comprising: a substrate 100, an insulating layer structure 300, a semiconductor structure 200, and a metal layer structure 600. The insulating layer structure 300 is located on the substrate 100. The semiconductor structure 200 is located within the insulating layer structure 300. The metal layer structure 600 is connected to the insulating layer structure 300 and electrically connected to the semiconductor structure 200. The metal layer structure 600 includes at least one metal layer. The at least one metal layer is configured to serve as a grounding fixture 500 for connecting to an external device. The metal layer has a first orthographic projection on the substrate 100. The semiconductor structure 200 has a second orthographic projection on the substrate 100. The first orthographic projection overlaps the second orthographic projection. Specifically, the insulating layer structure 300, the semiconductor structure 200, and the metal layer structure 600 are formed on the provided substrate 100 through processes such as cleaning, film formation, photolithography, etching, and impurity removal. Among them, the insulating layer structure 300 and the metal layer structure 600 both include a multi-layer structure. The metal layer structure 600 and the insulating layer structure 300 can be stacked on each other as needed, and it is ensured that the metal layer of one of the metal layer structures 600 can completely cover the semiconductor structure 200 in the vertical direction. In other words, the second orthographic projection of the semiconductor structure 200 on the substrate 100 is completely located on the first orthographic projection of the metal layer structure 600 on the substrate 100. This allows the metal layer structure 600 to form an electrostatic field to protect the semiconductor structure 200 after being grounded to the grounding fixture 500 of the external device, thereby preventing the semiconductor structure 200 from being affected by the external electric field during the preparation process and causing electrical drift, thereby improving the display effect of the display device.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1, in an embodiment of the present application, the metal layer structure 600 includes a shielding metal layer 620. The shielding metal layer 620 is located in the insulating layer structure 300. The metal layer orthographic projection of the shielding metal layer 620 on the substrate 100 includes a first orthographic projection. Specifically, the shielding metal layer 620 is connected to the semiconductor structure 200. The shielding metal layer 620 has a first orthographic projection on the substrate 100. In other words, the shielding metal layer 620 completely covers the semiconductor structure 200 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the shielding metal layer 620 shields the external electric field during the preparation process of the semiconductor structure 200, thereby playing a protective role, thereby preventing the semiconductor structure 200 from being affected by the external electric field during the preparation process and causing electrical drift.

[0042] As shown in Figure 5, in an embodiment of the present application, the shielding metal layer 620 is a mesh structure. Specifically, when the metal layer orthographic projection of the shielding metal layer 620 on the substrate 100 includes a first orthographic projection, the shielding metal layer 620 includes a plurality of longitudinal metal sheets extending in the longitudinal direction and transverse metal sheets extending in the transverse direction. The longitudinal metal sheets and the transverse metal sheets are interwoven to form intersections. In order for the shielding metal layer 620 to completely cover the semiconductor structure 200 in the vertical direction, it is necessary to ensure that the longitudinal metal sheets or the transverse metal sheets have sufficient width to cover the semiconductor structure 200. This ensures that the shielding metal layer 620 can shield the external electric field, thereby playing a protective role.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the metal layer structure 600 further includes an external metal layer 630. The external metal layer 630 is located on the side of the insulating layer structure 300 away from the substrate 100. The orthographic projection of the external metal layer 630 on the substrate 100 includes a first orthographic projection. The external metal layer 630 includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion is configured to connect to a grounding fixture of an external device. The second connecting portion is configured to connect to an electrode of a light-emitting unit. Specifically, the external metal layer 630 is located on the outermost layer of the display substrate 100 away from the substrate 100. The external metal layer 630 is connected to the semiconductor structure 200 by sequentially connecting to the shielding metal layer 620 and the source / drain layer 610. The first connecting portion of the external metal layer 630 connects to the grounding fixture 500 of the external device, thereby grounding the semiconductor structure 200. The external metal layer 630 is provided with a port at the edge of the display substrate for providing a ground connection for an external device. The width of the port is 5 to 10 mm. The second connecting portion is used to connect to the electrode of the light-emitting unit to provide the required current or voltage to the light-emitting unit, thereby driving the light-emitting unit to emit light.

[0044] As shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7, the external metal layer 630 has at least a partial structure located at the edge of the display substrate. Specifically, the external metal layer 630 is used to facilitate connection with the ground terminal of the external device when preparing the display substrate. By connecting the ground terminal of the external device, the shielding metal layer 620 can form an electrostatic field, thereby protecting the semiconductor structure 200 and preventing the electric field generated by the external device during operation from affecting the semiconductor structure 200 and causing electrical drift. Therefore, the external metal layer 630 of the present application provides a better connection terminal for grounding for the external device, thereby utilizing the electrostatic shielding principle to improve the display effect of the display device.

[0045] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in some embodiments of the present application, when the metal layer orthographic projection of the shielding metal layer 620 on the substrate 100 includes a first orthographic projection, the shielding metal layer 620 includes a plurality of metal sheets distributed in the horizontal and vertical directions. The plurality of metal sheets are staggered to form a mesh structure, and are sufficient to cover the semiconductor structure 200 in the vertical direction (as shown in Figure 5). Alternatively, the semiconductor structure 200 is covered by a plurality of metal sheets, and at the same time, metal strips with smaller widths are used to connect each other in the vertical and horizontal directions to form a mesh structure (as shown in Figure 6), so that the plurality of metal sheets form an integral structure. Connecting the metal sheets through metal strips can ensure that the display substrate has a larger aperture ratio, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance of the display substrate, and further ensuring that the shielding metal layer 620 can shield the external electric field, thereby playing a protective role.

[0046] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the metal layer structure 600 further includes a source-drain layer 610. The source-drain layer 610 includes a first connection terminal 611 and a second connection terminal 612. The first connection terminal 611 and the second connection terminal 612 are not connected. The first connection terminal 611 and the second connection terminal 612 are respectively connected to the semiconductor structure 200. The shielding metal layer 620 is connected to the second connection terminal 612. Specifically, the first connection terminal 611 is connected to the semiconductor structure 200 and provides current to the semiconductor structure 200. The second connection terminal 612 is connected to the semiconductor structure 200 for grounding the semiconductor structure 200. The shielding metal layer 620 passes through the insulating layer structure 300 and is connected to the second connection terminal 612.

[0047] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, in an embodiment of the present application, a dielectric layer 400 is provided between the substrate 100 and the insulating layer structure 300. The semiconductor structure 200 is provided on a side of the dielectric layer 400 away from the substrate 100. The semiconductor structure 200 includes an active layer 220, a gate layer 230, a source layer 210, and a connecting portion 240. Specifically, the dielectric layer 400 is used to provide an intermediary for the semiconductor structure 200, thereby enabling the semiconductor structure 200 to be better attached to the dielectric layer 400 and providing adhesion for the subsequent insulating layer structure 300. The dielectric layer 400 may be made of silicon nitride, and the semiconductor structure 200 may be a P-type semiconductor or an N-type semiconductor.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the insulating layer structure 300 includes a first insulating layer 310, a second insulating layer 320, a third insulating layer 330, a fourth insulating layer 340, and a fifth insulating layer 350 stacked in sequence. The first insulating layer 310 is connected to the dielectric layer 400. Specifically, the first insulating layer 310, the second insulating layer 320, the third insulating layer 330, the fourth insulating layer 340, and the fifth insulating layer 350 are sequentially formed on the dielectric layer 400 through processes such as cleaning, film formation, photolithography, etching, and impurity removal. Before preparing the first insulating layer 310, the active layer 220, the source layer 210, and the connecting portion 240 in the semiconductor structure 200 are first formed, and then the first insulating layer 310 is deposited, and the gate layer 230 is formed on the first insulating layer 310.

A photoblock 700 is provided on the side of the fifth insulating layer 350 away from the fourth insulating layer 340, and is spaced apart from the external metal layer 630.

The grounding jig 500 is connected to a metal layer structure 600 in the display substrate provided in any of the above-described embodiments. The electron beam evaporation apparatus is used to perform evaporation on the display substrate to form solder bumps. Specifically, the electron beam evaporation apparatus uses a high-energy electron beam to heat a material, causing it to melt and evaporate. The evaporated material is deposited on the surface of the display substrate, forming a thin film. During electron beam evaporation, the display substrate is placed in a vacuum environment, referred to as an evaporation chamber or deposition chamber. The chamber contains an electron beam source and an evaporation source. The electron beam source generates a high-energy electron beam. This electron beam is focused and accelerated, then aimed at the material in the evaporation source.
