Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0035] The scales of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference for actual processes, but are not limited to such. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of the various film layers, and the width and spacing of the various signal lines can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are merely schematic structural diagrams, and one embodiment of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the figures.
[0036] 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.
[0037] 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.
[0038] In this specification, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure.
[0039] In this specification, a transistor refers to a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0040] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or vice versa. The functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged, and "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.
[0041] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transfer of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.
[0042] 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°.
[0043] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced with "insulating layer."
[0044] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined. They may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons, and may have some minor deformations due to tolerances, such as chamfers, rounded edges, and deformation. The term "approximately" in this disclosure does not strictly define the boundaries, but allows for values within the range of process and measurement errors.

The data driver can generate data voltages to be supplied to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., and Dn using grayscale values and control signals received from a timing controller. For example, the data driver can sample grayscale values using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values to data signal lines D1 to Dn on a per-pixel basis, where n can be a natural number. The scan driver can generate scan signals to be supplied to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., and Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, and the like from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver can sequentially supply scan signals having on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver can be configured as a shift register and can sequentially transmit scan start signals provided in the form of on-level pulses to the next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. The light driver can generate emission signals to be supplied to light signal lines E1, E2, E3, ..., and Eo by receiving clock signals, emission stop signals, and the like from the timing controller. For example, the light emitting driver may sequentially provide emission signals having off-level pulses to the light emitting signal lines E1 to Eo.

[0080] The first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on so that the signal of the first initial signal line INIT1 is provided to the first node N1 and the second node N2 respectively, initializing (resetting) the first node N1 and the second node N2, clearing the original charge in the first node N1, and the potential of the first node N1 and the second node N2 is Vinit1.
[0081] The third phase A3 can be called the data writing phase. The signal on the third scan signal line S3 is a low-level signal, the signal on the fourth scan signal line S4 is a low-level signal for a short period of time, and the signals on the first scan signal line S1, the second scan signal line S2, and the light-emitting signal line EM are high-level signals, turning on the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4, and turning off the other switching transistors.
[0082] The second transistor T2 is turned on, so that the first node N1 and the second node N2 are turned on. Since the third transistor T3 is continuously turned on during this stage, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, so that the data signal output by the data signal line DATA is provided to the first node N1 through the third node N3, the turned-on third transistor T3, the second node N2, and the turned-on second transistor T2, and the difference between the data voltage output by the data signal line DATA and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the storage capacitor C. The voltage of the first node N1 is Vd-|Vth|, where Vd is the data voltage output by the data signal line DATA and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3.
[0083] The fourth stage A4 may be referred to as a stage in which the second node N2 , the third node N3 , and the fourth node N4 are reset.
[0084] The signals of the first scanning signal line S1 and the third scanning signal line S3 are low-level signals, the signal of the second scanning signal line S2 is a low-level signal for a short period of time, and the signals of the fourth scanning signal line S4 and the light-emitting signal line EM are high-level signals, so that the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and the other switching transistors are turned off.
[0085] The seventh transistor T7 is turned on, causing the signal of the second initial signal line INIT2 to be supplied to the fourth node N4. Since the third transistor T3 is continuously turned on during this stage, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, causing the signal of the third initial signal line INIT3 to be supplied to the second node N2 and the third node N3, respectively resetting the second node N2, the third node N3, and the fourth node N4. The potentials of the second node N2 and the third node N3 are Vinit3, and the potential of the fourth node N4 is Vinit2. Resetting the second node N2, the third node N3, and the fourth node N4 in this stage can eliminate and reduce hysteresis deviation caused by grayscale differences between adjacent pixels. It can also periodically reset the OLED anode to improve low-frequency flicker.
[0086] The fifth stage A5 can be called the light-emitting stage. The signals on the first scanning signal line S1, the third scanning signal line S3, and the light-emitting signal line EM are low-level signals, and the signals on the second scanning signal line S2 and the fourth scanning signal line S4 are high-level signals, turning on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6, and turning off the other switching transistors.
[0087] The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on so that the power voltage output from the first power line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the light-emitting device EL through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the third node N3, the turned-on third transistor T3, the second node N2, and the turned-on sixth transistor T6, thereby driving the light-emitting device EL to emit light.
[0088] During the light-emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor T3 of each pixel driving circuit is not affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, thereby eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 on the driving current, thereby ensuring uniform display brightness of the display product and improving the display effect of the entire display product.

[0130] In an exemplary embodiment, the first conductive layers of two adjacent circuit cells in a cell row may be symmetrically arranged relative to the column centerline. For example, the first conductive layers of the Nth cell column and the N+1th cell column may be symmetrically arranged relative to the column centerline. For another example, the first conductive layers of the N+1th cell column and the N+2th cell column may be symmetrically arranged relative to the column centerline.
[0131] In example embodiments, the first conductive layers in adjacent cell rows may be substantially the same.
[0132] In an exemplary embodiment, after forming the first conductive layer pattern, the first conductive layer can be used as a shield to perform conductorization on the first semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer in the area shielded by the first conductive layer forms the channel region of the third transistor T3 to the eighth transistor T8, and the first semiconductor layer in the area not shielded by the first conductive layer is conductorized, that is, the first region and the second region of the third active layer to the eighth active layer are both conductorized.
[0133] (3) Forming a second conductive layer pattern.

In an exemplary embodiment, the second conductive layer may be referred to as a second gate metal (GATE2) layer.
[0134] In an exemplary embodiment, the second conductive layer pattern in each circuit unit includes at least a first shielding line 31 , a second shielding line 32 , and a second plate 82 of the storage capacitor.
[0135] In an exemplary embodiment, the outline of the second electrode plate 82 can be rectangular, and the corners of the rectangle can be chamfered. The orthographic projection of the second electrode plate 82 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode plate 81 on the substrate. The second electrode plate 82 can serve as another electrode plate of the storage capacitor, and the first electrode plate 81 and the second electrode plate 82 constitute the storage capacitor of the pixel driving circuit.
[0136] In an exemplary embodiment, an opening 83 is provided on the second electrode plate 82. The opening 83 can be block-shaped (e.g., rectangular) and can be located in the middle of the second electrode plate 82, forming an annular structure. The opening 83 exposes the third insulating layer covering the first electrode plate 81, and the orthographic projection of the first electrode plate 81 on the substrate includes the orthographic projection of the opening 83 on the substrate. In an exemplary embodiment, the opening 83 is configured to accommodate a subsequently formed eleventh via. The eleventh via is located within the opening 83 and exposes the first electrode plate 81, allowing a subsequently formed first connecting electrode to be connected to the first electrode plate 81.
[0137] In an exemplary embodiment, the second plate 82 may be provided with a first plate connection line 84 and a second plate connection line 85. The first plate connection line 84 and the second plate connection line 85 may be provided on either side of the second plate 82 in the first direction X, and may be connected to the second plates 82 in adjacent circuit cells in the first direction X, respectively. This interconnects the second plates 82 in adjacent circuit cells within a row. For example, the second plate 82 in the Nth column and the second plate 82 in the N+1th column may be interconnected via the first plate connection line 84. In another example, the second plate 82 in the N+1th column and the second plate 82 in the N+2th column may be interconnected via the second plate connection line 85. Since the second plate 82 in each circuit cell is connected to a subsequently formed first power line, by forming an integrated structure with the second plates 82 of adjacent circuit cells interconnected, the integrated second plates 82 can be reused as power signal lines. This ensures that multiple second plates 82 in a row have the same potential, which helps improve panel uniformity, prevent display defects on the display substrate, and ensure the display quality of the display substrate.
[0138] In an exemplary embodiment, the first plate connection line 84 and the second plate connection line 85 may have different widths, where the width is the dimension in the second direction Y.
[0139] In an exemplary embodiment, the first shielding line 31 may be in the shape of a straight line or a zigzag line, with the main portion extending along the first direction X. The first shielding line 31 may be located between the second electrode plate 82 and the fourth scan signal line 24. In an exemplary embodiment, the first shielding line 31 may be a zigzag line of varying widths. The width of the first shielding line 31 at the location where it overlaps with the subsequently formed second active layer may be greater than the width at other locations. The first shielding line 31 at the wider location may serve as a shielding layer for the second transistor T2, shielding the channel region of the second transistor T2 and ensuring the electrical performance of the oxide second transistor T2.

[0185] (7) Forming a fourth conductive layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the fourth conductive layer may include: depositing a fourth conductive film on the substrate having the aforementioned pattern formed thereon, and patterning the fourth conductive film using a patterning process to form a fourth conductive layer disposed on the sixth insulating layer, as shown in FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B , where FIG. 14B is a plan view schematic diagram of the fourth conductive layer in FIG. 14A . In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer may be referred to as a first source / drain metal (SD1) layer.
[0186] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer in each circuit unit includes at least: a first initial signal line 41, a second initial signal line 42, a third initial signal line 43, a first connection electrode 51, a second connection electrode 52, a third connection electrode 53, a fourth connection electrode 54, a fifth connection electrode 55 and a second initial connection electrode 56.
[0187] In an exemplary embodiment, the first connection electrode 51 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the second direction Y. A first end of the first connection electrode 51 is connected to the second region of the second active layer via a third via hole V3, and a second end of the first connection electrode 51 is connected to the first electrode plate 31 via an eleventh via hole V11. In an exemplary embodiment, because the first electrode plate 31 also serves as the gate electrode of the third transistor T3, the first connection electrode 51 causes the second electrode of the second transistor T2, the gate electrode of the third transistor T3, and the first electrode plate 31 to have the same potential, forming a first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit. In an exemplary embodiment, the first connection electrode 51 may be referred to as a first node electrode.
[0188] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 51 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first scan signal line 21 on the substrate. Because the first connection electrode 51 serves as the first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit, the first connection electrode 51 can increase the parasitic capacitance between the first scan signal line 21 and the first node N1. In an exemplary embodiment, after the fourth scan signal line 24 outputs an on signal, the parasitic capacitance can lower the potential of the first node N1 by utilizing the falling edge of the first scan signal line 21, thereby increasing current and effectively improving display brightness.
[0189] In an exemplary embodiment, a first compensation block 51-1 may be provided on the first connecting electrode 51, a first end of the first compensation block 51-1 is connected to the first end of the first connecting electrode 51, a second end of the first compensation block 51-1 extends toward the direction of the first scanning signal line 21, and an orthographic projection of the first compensation block 51-1 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of the first scanning signal line 21 on the substrate.
[0190] In an exemplary embodiment, the first connection electrode 51 and the first compensation block 51 - 1 may be an integral structure connected to each other.
[0191] In an exemplary embodiment, the second connection electrode 52 may be in the shape of a strip with a main portion extending along the second direction Y. A first end of the second connection electrode 52 is connected to the second region of the first active layer (also the first region of the second active layer) via a second via V2, and to the second region of the second active layer via a third via V3. A second end of the second connection electrode 52 is connected to the second region of the eighth active layer via a tenth via V10. The area between the first and second ends of the second connection electrode 52 is connected to the second region of the third active layer (also the first region of the sixth active layer) via a fourth via V4. In an exemplary embodiment, the second connection electrode 52 causes the second electrode of the first transistor T1, the first electrode of the second transistor T2, the second electrode of the third transistor T3, the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6, and the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8 to have the same potential, forming a second node N2 of the pixel driving circuit. In an exemplary embodiment, the second connection electrode 52 may be referred to as a second node electrode.
[0192] In the exemplary embodiment, a curved portion is provided on the fourth scan signal line 24 in the region where the second via V2 is located. The curved portion protrudes away from the second electrode plate 82, allowing the fourth scan signal line 24 to avoid the second connection electrode 52. The orthographic projection of the second connection electrode 52 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the fourth scan signal line 24 on the substrate. Because the second connection electrode 52 serves as the second node N2 of the pixel driving circuit, the parasitic capacitance between the second node N2 and the fourth scan signal line 24 can be effectively reduced. This not only reduces the parasitic capacitance of the second node N2, but also minimizes the impact on the data signal writing process.
[0193] In the exemplary embodiment, a curved portion is provided on the fourth scan signal line 24 to avoid the second connection electrode 52, and a curved portion is provided on the third scan signal line 23 to avoid the first initial connection electrode 33. This allows the orthographic projection of the fourth scan signal line 24 on the substrate to at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the third scan signal line 23 on the substrate, thereby increasing the parasitic capacitance between the third scan signal line 23 and the fourth scan signal line 24. Because the third scan signal line 23 outputs an on-signal during the second period, this on-signal does not affect the output of the on-signal by the fourth scan signal line 24 during the third period, nor does it affect the data signal writing process.
[0194] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second connecting electrode 52 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first sub-scanning line segment 21-1 in the first scanning signal line 21 on the substrate, the orthographic projection of the second connecting electrode 52 on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first sub-blocking line segment 31-1 in the first blocking line 31 on the substrate, the orthographic projection of the second connecting electrode 52 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second sub-scanning line segment 21-2 in the first scanning signal line 21 on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the second connecting electrode 52 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second sub-scanning line segment 21-2 in the first blocking line 31 on the substrate. Since the width of the second sub-blocking line segment 31-2 is smaller than the width of the first sub-blocking line segment 31-1, the width of the second sub-scanning line segment 21-2 is smaller than the width of the first sub-scanning line segment 21-1, and thus the parasitic capacitance between the second connecting electrode 52 and the first scanning signal line 21 (first blocking line 31) can be effectively reduced. On the one hand, the parasitic capacitance of the second node N2 can be reduced, and on the other hand, the impact on the first scanning signal line can be reduced.
[0195] In an exemplary embodiment, the third connection electrode 53 may be in a block shape (such as a rectangle), and the third connection electrode 53 is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the fifth via hole V5. The third connection electrode 53 is configured to be connected to the subsequently formed twelfth connection electrode.
[0196] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth connection electrode 54 may be in the shape of a strip extending along the second direction Y. A first end of the fourth connection electrode 54 is connected to the first region of the fifth active layer via a sixth via hole V6, and a second end of the fourth connection electrode 54 is connected to the second plate connection line 85 via a twelfth via hole V12. The fourth connection electrode 54 is configured to be connected to an eleventh connection electrode to be formed later. In an exemplary embodiment, because the second plate connection line 85 is connected to the second plate 82, the fourth connection electrode 54 ensures that the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 in the circuit unit and the second plate 82 of the storage capacitor have the same potential.
[0197] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth connection electrodes 54 of two circuit units adjacent to each other in the first direction X may be interconnected as an integral structure. For example, the fourth connection electrodes 54 of the two circuit units in the N-1th and Nth unit columns may be interconnected as an integral structure. For another example, the fourth connection electrodes 54 of the two circuit units in the N+1th and N+2th unit columns may be interconnected as an integral structure. For another example, the fourth connection electrodes 54 of the two circuit units in the N+3th and N+4th unit columns may be interconnected as an integral structure.
[0198] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth connection electrode 55 may be in a block shape (e.g., a rectangle), and is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer (also the second region of the seventh active layer) through a seventh via hole V7. In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth connection electrode 55 is configured to be connected to a subsequently formed thirteenth connection electrode to form a fourth node N4 of the pixel driving circuit.
[0199] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the second initial connection electrode 56 can be a broken line with the main portion extending along the second direction Y, the first end of the second initial connection electrode 56 is connected to the first end 33A of the first initial connection electrode 33 through the thirteenth via hole V13, and the second end of the second initial connection electrode 56 is connected to the second end 33B of the first initial connection electrode 33 through the fourteenth via hole V14.
[0200] In an exemplary embodiment, the first initial signal line 41 may be in the shape of a straight line or a zigzag line extending along the first direction X, and may be disposed on a side of the third scan signal line 23 away from the second electrode plate 82. In each circuit unit, the first initial signal line 41 is connected to the first region of the first active layer through the first via V1, thereby connecting the first initial signal line 41 to the first electrode of the first transistor T1. The first initial signal line 41 may write the transmitted first initial signal into the first electrode of the first transistor T1.
[0201] In the exemplary embodiment, in the circuit cells of the Nth and N+3th cell columns, the first initial signal line 41 is further connected to the first connection block 33-1 via the fifteenth via V15. Since the first connection block 33-1 is connected to the first initial connection electrode 33, the first initial connection electrodes 33 of adjacent cell rows are interconnected via the second initial connection electrode 56. The interconnected first initial connection electrodes 33 and second initial connection electrodes 56 in the Nth and N+3th cell columns form a first initial connection line, connecting the first initial signal line 41 extending along the first direction X with the first initial connection line extending along the second direction Y. This allows the first initial signal line 41 and the first initial connection line to form a mesh structure in the display area that transmits the first initial signal. This effectively reduces the resistance of the first initial signal line and the voltage drop of the first initial signal, and also effectively improves the uniformity of the first initial signal across the display substrate, thereby enhancing display uniformity and improving display quality.
[0202] In an exemplary embodiment, the second initial signal line 42 may be in the shape of a straight line or a zigzag line extending along the first direction X, and may be disposed on a side of the second scanning signal line 22 away from the second electrode plate 82.

[0203] In an exemplary embodiment, in the circuit cells of the N+1th unit column, the second initial signal line 42 is further connected to the second connection block 33-2 via the sixteenth via V16. Since the second connection block 33-2 is connected to the first initial connection electrode 33, the first initial connection electrodes 33 of adjacent unit rows are interconnected via the second initial connection electrode 56. The interconnected first initial connection electrode 33 and the second initial connection electrode 56 in the N+1th unit column form a second initial connection line, thereby connecting the second initial signal line 42 extending along the first direction X with the second initial connection line extending along the second direction Y. This allows the second initial signal line 42 and the second initial connection line to form a mesh structure in the display area for transmitting the second initial signal. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the second initial signal line and the voltage drop of the second initial signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the second initial signal in the display substrate, effectively improving display uniformity and enhancing display quality.
[0204] In an exemplary embodiment, the third initial signal line 43 may be in the shape of a straight line or a zigzag line extending along the first direction X, and may be disposed between the second scanning signal line 22 and the second initial signal line 42. In each circuit unit, the third initial signal line 43 is connected to the first region of the eighth active layer through the ninth via hole V9, thereby connecting the third initial signal line 43 to the first electrode of the eighth transistor T8. The third initial signal line 43 may write the transmitted third initial signal into the first electrode of the eighth transistor T8.
[0205] In an exemplary embodiment, in the circuit cells of the (N+2)th unit column, the third initial signal line 43 is further connected to the third connection block 33-3 via the seventeenth via V17. Since the third connection block 33-3 is connected to the first initial connection electrode 33, the first initial connection electrodes 33 of adjacent unit rows are interconnected via the second initial connection electrode 56. The interconnected first initial connection electrode 33 and second initial connection electrode 56 in the (N+2)th unit column form a third initial connection line, thereby connecting the third initial signal line 43 extending along the first direction X with the third initial connection line extending along the second direction Y. This allows the third initial signal line 43 and the third initial connection line to form a mesh structure in the display area for transmitting the third initial signal. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the third initial signal line and the voltage drop of the third initial signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the third initial signal across the display substrate, effectively improving display uniformity and enhancing display quality.

[0271] In an exemplary embodiment, the anode connection portion of at least one anode may include a first connection sub-portion 90 - 1 and a second connection sub-portion 90 - 2 configured to avoid overlapping with the second connection electrode 52 .

The encapsulation structure layer may include a stacked first encapsulation layer, a second encapsulation layer, and a third encapsulation layer. The first encapsulation layer and the third encapsulation layer may be made of inorganic materials, the second encapsulation layer may be made of organic materials, and the second encapsulation layer is arranged between the first encapsulation layer and the third encapsulation layer to ensure that external water vapor cannot enter the light-emitting structure layer.
[0276] A display substrate suffers from a problem where a high instantaneous current flows when the luminescent signal line provides an on-signal, affecting the display effect. Research has found that the high instantaneous current is caused by the large parasitic capacitance of the second node N2. Because the third initial signal line in the pixel drive circuit is connected to the second node N2 via the eighth transistor T8, when the parasitic capacitance of the second node N2 is large, it is equivalent to the presence of a large capacitor at the second node N2 that stores the bias voltage (on bias) of the third initial signal line. When the luminescent signal line provides an on-signal (the sixth transistor T6 is turned on), the charge in the parasitic capacitance of the second node N2 is preferentially released, resulting in a high instantaneous current.
[0277] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate that effectively reduces the parasitic capacitance of the second node N2 by 9.35f through layout adjustment and structural optimization, effectively avoiding the problem of instantaneous high current and greatly reducing the transient current when the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, thereby improving display quality and display effect.
[0278] The present disclosure sets the second connection electrode and the fourth scan signal line to have no overlap, thereby reducing not only the parasitic capacitance of the second node N2 but also the influence on the data signal writing process.
[0279] The present disclosure sets the first scan signal line and the first shielding line to have unequal widths, and the second connecting electrode overlaps with the first scan signal line and the first shielding line of smaller width, thereby effectively reducing the parasitic capacitance between the second node N2 and the first scan signal line and the first shielding line.
[0280] The present disclosure can minimize the parasitic capacitance of the second node N2 by ensuring that the first power line does not overlap with the second connection electrode, the shielding electrode does not overlap with the second connection electrode, and the anode connection portion does not overlap with the second connection electrode.
[0281] In the present disclosure, a shielding electrode is arranged between adjacent second connection electrodes. The shielding electrode with a constant potential can effectively prevent the mutual influence of the second nodes N2 in adjacent circuit units, thereby improving the driving performance of the pixel driving circuit.
[0282] The present disclosure increases the parasitic capacitance between the first scanning signal line and the first node N1 by setting the first connecting electrode to overlap with the first scanning signal line, and uses the falling edge of the first scanning signal line to lower the potential of the first node N1, thereby increasing the current and effectively improving the display brightness.
[0283] By arranging the first power line to overlap with the first connection electrode, the present disclosure effectively prevents data voltage jumps and other signals from affecting the potential of the first node N1, thereby improving the driving performance of the pixel driving circuit. By arranging the first power line to overlap with the active layer of the second transistor, the present disclosure prevents the characteristics of the oxide second transistor from drifting due to light, thereby improving the electrical characteristics of the oxide second transistor.
[0284] The present invention arranges the shielding electrode to overlap with the second anode center line of the anode, and arranges the first power line, the first power block and the second power block to be mirror-symmetrical relative to the second anode center line, and the first power block and the second power block 71 to be mirror-symmetrical relative to the first anode center line, thereby effectively improving the flatness of the anode, avoiding anode height differences, and ensuring that the luminous performance of the light-emitting devices in various areas is basically the same, which not only avoids large viewing angle color deviation, but also avoids defects such as off-screen watermarks, thereby improving the quality of the display substrate.
[0285] The present disclosure forms a mesh-like connection structure by arranging a first initial signal line extending along a first direction in the main body and a first initial connection line extending along a second direction in the main body, by arranging a second initial signal line extending along the first direction in the main body and a second initial connection line extending along the second direction in the main body, and by arranging a third initial signal line extending along the first direction in the main body and a second initial connection line extending along a third direction in the main body, so that the first initial signal line, the second initial signal line and the third initial signal line respectively form a mesh-like connection structure, which not only effectively reduces the resistance of the initial signal line and reduces the voltage drop of the initial voltage, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the initial voltage in the display substrate, effectively improves the display uniformity, and improves the display quality and display quality.
