[0110] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various exemplary embodiments. However, it is apparent that the various exemplary embodiments can be implemented without these specific details or with one or more equivalent arrangements. In other cases, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the various exemplary embodiments. In addition, the various exemplary embodiments can be different, but not necessarily exclusive. For example, the specific shape, configuration, and characteristics of the exemplary embodiment can be used or implemented in another exemplary embodiment without departing from the inventive concept.

[0111] In the accompanying drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of the elements may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. Thus, the sizes and relative sizes of the individual elements are not necessarily limited to those shown in the drawings. When the exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, the specific process sequence can be performed differently from the described sequence. For example, two processes described in succession can be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to the described sequence. In addition, the same reference numerals represent the same elements.

[0112] When an element is described as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, or "coupled to" another element, the element may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to another element, or there may be an intermediate element. However, when an element is described as being "directly on" another element, "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to," another element, there is no intermediate element. Other terms and / or expressions used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a similar manner, for example, "between" versus "directly between," "adjacent" versus "directly adjacent," or "on" versus "directly on," etc. In addition, the term "connected" may refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, a communication connection, and / or a fluid connection. In addition, the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis are not limited to the three axes of a rectangular coordinate system, and may be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis may be perpendicular to each other, or may represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. For the purposes of this disclosure, “at least one of X, Y, and Z” and “at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z” may be interpreted as only X, only Y, only Z, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z, such as XYZ, XY, YZ, and XZ. As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0113] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe different elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are merely used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first element may be named a second element, and similarly, a second element may be named a first element without departing from the scope of the exemplary embodiments.

Figure 6 exemplarily shows an enlarged schematic diagram of area B2 in Figure 5. Figure 7 schematically shows an enlarged schematic diagram of area A2 in Figure 1.

[0115] 1 , the display substrate includes a display area AA and a peripheral area NA located around the display area AA. The display substrate includes a base substrate 100 , a driving circuit layer 200 located on the base substrate 100 , and a plurality of bonding pads BP.

[0116] 1 and 2 , at least a portion of the driver circuit layer 200 is located in the display area AA. The driver circuit layer 200 includes a plurality of pixel driver circuit groups PD arranged along a first direction X. For example, the driver circuit layer 200 includes 2n pixel driver circuit groups PD, where n is a positive integer. The pixel driver circuit groups PD include a plurality of pixel driver circuit units PDA arranged along a second direction Y. The display area includes a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2 arranged along the first direction X. The first display area AA1 is located between the second display area AA2 and the peripheral area NA. The plurality of pixel driver circuit groups PD include a plurality of first pixel driver circuit groups PD1 located in the first display area AA1 and a plurality of second pixel driver circuit groups PD2 located in the second display area AA2. Here, it should be understood that there is no difference in circuit structure between the first pixel driving circuit group PD1 and the second pixel driving circuit group PD2. Here, only for the purpose of more clearly describing the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pixel driving circuit group PD located in the first display area AA1 is defined as the first pixel driving circuit group PD1, and the pixel driving circuit group PD located in the second display area AA2 is defined as the second pixel driving circuit group PD2.

[0117] For example, a display substrate includes a plurality of sub-pixels, each sub-pixel includes one of the aforementioned pixel driving circuit units PDA and one light-emitting device. Within each sub-pixel, the pixel driving circuit unit PDA is electrically connected to the light-emitting device. The plurality of sub-pixels are arranged in the same manner as the plurality of pixel driving circuit units PDA. The plurality of sub-pixels includes 2n sub-pixel columns arranged along a first direction, and each sub-pixel column includes a plurality of sub-pixels arranged along a second direction.

[0118] 1 , the display substrate may include two first display areas AA1 , which are respectively located on both sides of the second display area AA2 along the first direction X. Exemplarily, the two first display areas AA1 are substantially symmetrically disposed on both sides of the second display area AA2 .

[0119] For example, the first direction X intersects the second direction Y. Exemplarily, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0120] 1 , multiple bonding pads BP are located in the peripheral area NA. The peripheral area NA includes a first peripheral area NA1 located on one side of the display area AA along the second direction Y. Multiple bonding pads BP are located in the first peripheral area NA1. The bonding pads BP are spaced apart along the first direction, and multiple bonding pads BP are located outside the second display area AA2 along the second direction Y. The bonding pads BP are used to electrically connect to the bonding pins of the driver chip. The bonding pads BP are also electrically connected to the driver circuit layer 200 via corresponding signal traces, thereby connecting the corresponding drive signals in the driver chip to the driver circuit layer 200.

[0121] The display substrate also includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a first insulating layer and a third insulating layer. The first conductive layer is located on the side of the driving circuit layer away from the base substrate, the second conductive layer is located between the driving circuit layer and the first conductive layer, the first insulating layer is located between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, and the third insulating layer is located between the second conductive layer and the driving circuit layer.

[0122] Referring to Figures 3 and 4 , the first conductive layer includes n first routing groups LX arranged along a first direction X. The first routing group LX includes a first power signal line VDD and two sub-routing groups LA located on either side of the first power signal line VDD along the first direction X. The sub-routing groups LA include a first signal routing line L1 and a second signal routing line L2 arranged along the first direction X. For example, in one sub-routing group LA, the second signal routing line L2 is located between the first signal routing line L1 and the first power signal line VDD. In other words, the first routing group LX includes five signal routing lines, specifically, the first signal routing line L1, the second signal routing line L2, the first power signal line VDD, the second signal routing line L2, and the first signal routing line L1, arranged in sequence along the first direction X. The first power signal line VDD, the first signal routing line L1, and the second signal routing line L2 all extend along the second direction Y.

[0123] 1 to 3 , the number of pixel driving circuit groups PD is the same as the number of sub-routing groups LA, the number of pixel driving circuit groups PD is twice the number of the first routing groups LX, and one sub-routing group LA is electrically connected to each pixel driving circuit unit PDA in a corresponding pixel driving circuit group PD.

[0124] 5 and 6 , the second conductive layer may include a plurality of third signal traces L3 and a plurality of fourth signal traces L4 , wherein the plurality of third signal traces L3 and the plurality of fourth signal traces L4 are alternately arranged along the second direction Y, and the third signal traces L3 and the fourth signal traces L4 extend along the first direction X. For example, the second conductive layer may include m third signal traces L3 and m fourth signal traces L4 , where m is a positive integer.

[0125] With reference to Figures 1 to 6 , the first power signal line VDD is electrically connected to the pixel driver circuit unit PDA via the third signal line L3. That is, the first power signal line VDD is directly connected to the third signal line L3 to achieve electrical connection, and the third signal line L3 is directly connected to the corresponding pixel driver circuit unit PDA to achieve electrical connection. The third signal line L3 is used to receive the first power signal transmitted by the first power signal line VDD and connect the first power signal to the corresponding pixel driver circuit unit PDA.

[0126] With reference to Figures 1 and 7 , the plurality of fourth signal lines L4 include a plurality of first transfer lines LT1, and the plurality of second signal lines L2 include a plurality of second transfer lines LT2. The second transfer lines LT2 are located in the second display area AA2. Specifically, m1 of the m fourth signal lines L4 serve as first transfer lines LT1, which are used to transfer data signals. The remaining fourth signal lines L4 can be used to transmit other drive signals, where m1 is a positive integer less than m. n1 of the 2n second signal lines L2 serve as second transfer lines LT2, which are used to transfer data signals. The remaining second signal lines L2 can be used to transmit other drive signals, where n1 is a positive integer less than 2n. The second transfer lines LT2 receive data signals from the bonding pads BP and sequentially connect the data signals to the corresponding first pixel driver circuit group PD via the corresponding first transfer lines LT1 and the sub-line group LA.

[0127] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 7, specifically, in the first pixel driving circuit group PD1 located in the first display area AA1 and the sub-routing group LA electrically connected to it, the sub-routing group LA is electrically connected to the binding pad BP through the first transfer routing LT1 and the second transfer routing LT2, and the sub-routing group LA is electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit group PD, so that the sub-routing group LA can receive the data signal provided by the binding pad BP and connect the data signal to the first pixel driving circuit group PD1.

[0128] For example, the sub-routing group LA located in the first display area AA1 is electrically connected to a corresponding first transfer routing line LT1, and the first transfer routing line LT1 is electrically connected to a corresponding second transfer routing line LT2. Furthermore, the second transfer routing line LT2 extends to the first peripheral area NA1 and is electrically connected to a corresponding binding pad BP.

[0129] For example, the electrical connection method between the sub-route group LA and the first transfer route LT1 can be that the second signal route L2 in the sub-route group LA is electrically connected to the first transfer route LT1 through a via in the first insulating layer. The solid circles in Figure 7 schematically indicate the connection position between the second signal route L2 and the first transfer route LT1.

[0130] For example, the first transfer trace LT1 is electrically connected to the second transfer trace LT2 through a via hole in the first insulating layer. The hollow dots in FIG. 7 schematically indicate the connection positions of the first transfer trace LT1 and the second transfer trace LT2.

[0131] For example, the electrical connection between the sub-routing group LA and the pixel driving circuit group PD may be that the second signal routing line L2 in the sub-routing group LA is directly electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit group PD.

[0132] For example, the electrical connection between the sub-routing group LA and the pixel driving circuit group PD may be that the second signal routing line L2 in the sub-routing group LA is electrically connected to the first signal routing line L1 , and then the first signal routing line L1 is electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit group PD.

[0133] In the second pixel driver circuit group PD2 and the electrically connected sub-route group LA located in the second display area AA2, the first signal lines L1 in the sub-route group LA are electrically connected to the second pixel driver circuit group PD2. The first signal lines L1 extend to the first peripheral area NA1 and are electrically connected to corresponding bonding pads BP. The first signal lines L1 are configured to receive data signals provided by the bonding pads BP and connect the data signals to the pixel driver circuit group PD. In other words, each of the first signal lines L1 located in the second display area AA2 functions as a data signal line for transmitting data signals.

[0134] In this display substrate, each pixel driving circuit group PD in the first display area AA1 close to the peripheral area NA is connected to the data signal through the corresponding sub-route group LA, but the sub-route group LA is not directly electrically connected to the binding pad BP. Instead, it is electrically connected to the binding pad BP in sequence through the first transfer route LT1 and the second transfer route LT2 set in the display area. In this way, there is no need to set a fan-out route for transferring data signals in the first frame area, that is, the technology of setting the fan-out route in the display area (Fanout In AA, abbreviated as FIAA in English) is adopted, which effectively narrows the width of the first peripheral area NA1, thereby meeting the requirements of the narrow-frame display substrate.

[0135] On the other hand, the first power signal line VDD is not directly connected to the pixel driving circuit group PD. Instead, the first power signal line VDD is electrically connected to the third signal line L3, and then the first power signal is respectively connected to the pixel driving circuit unit PD by the third signal line L3. This arrangement is equivalent to reducing the number of connection structures in the first power signal line VDD for transferring the first power signal to the pixel driving circuit group PD by half, thereby reducing the layout space of the first power signal line VDD to alleviate the problem of tight wiring space in the first conductive layer.

[0136] On this basis, it is possible to further provide a second signal line L2 on each side of the first power signal line VDD along the first direction, so that the number of second signal lines L2 is set to be the same as the number of pixel drive circuit groups PD, that is, the number of second signal lines L2 is set to be larger, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second transfer lines LT2. Accordingly, the layout space of the remaining second signal lines L2 not used as the second transfer lines LT2 is also increased, so that the layout space of the second signal lines L2 that can be used to transmit other constant voltage signals is larger, which is conducive to improving the uniformity of the distribution of the transmitted constant voltage signal in the display area. For example, the constant voltage signal here can be the second power signal or the first power signal.

[0137] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the first power signal line VDD includes a plurality of signal blocks V1 spaced apart along a second direction Y. Adjacent signal blocks V1 are electrically connected via a signal connection segment V2. A size of the signal blocks V1 along the first direction X is significantly larger than a size of the signal connection segment V2 along the first direction X. For example, the size of the signal blocks V1 along the first direction X is greater than twice the size of the signal connection segment V2 along the first direction X.

[0138] For example, the display substrate further includes a first electrode layer located on a side of the second conductive layer away from the base substrate. The first electrode layer includes a first electrode, which serves as the anode of the light-emitting device in the sub-pixel. The orthographic projection of the signal block on the base substrate partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode on the base substrate. In addition to transmitting the first power signal, the signal block V1 also serves to level the first electrode.

[0139] FIG8 schematically shows a plan view of a combination of a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0140] 8 , the first insulating layer has a first via H01 between the signal connection section V2 and the third signal line L3 , and the signal connection section V2 is electrically connected to the third signal line L3 through the first via H01 .

[0141] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG4 , the signal block V1 includes a first portion V11 and a second portion V12 arranged along a first direction X, the first portion V11 and the second portion V12 are directly connected, and the signal connection segment V2 is directly connected to both the first portion V11 and the second portion V12.

[0142] For example, the first portion V11 and the second portion V12 are substantially mirror-imaged along the first direction X, and the signal connection segment V2 is directly connected to both the first portion V11 and the second portion V12 , that is, the signal connection segment V2 is approximately centrally connected to the signal block V1 .

[0143] It should be noted that the first part V11 and the second part V12 are completely mirror-imaged in the theoretical design. However, due to factors such as process accuracy, there will be certain deviations in the shapes of the first part V11 and the second part V12. Here, basically mirror-imaged can be understood as the size deviation of the first part V11 and the second part V12 being within ±10% or ±5%.

[0144] Similarly, the signal connection segment V2 being approximately connected to the center of the signal block V1 can be understood as the connection position of the signal connection segment V2 and the signal block V1 deviating from the center of the signal block V1 by ±10% or ±5%.

[0145] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG4 , the signal block V1 includes a first sub-block V1a, a second sub-block V1b, and a third sub-block V1c arranged along the second direction Y, the first sub-block V1a is directly connected to the second sub-block V1b, and the size of the first sub-block V1a along the first direction X is smaller than the size of the second sub-block V1b along the first direction X, the second sub-block V1b is directly connected to the third sub-block V1c, and the size of the second sub-block V1b along the first direction X is smaller than the size of the third sub-block V1c along the first direction X.

[0146] The first signal line L1 includes multiple first connection blocks L11, which are located on a side of the adjacent second signal line L2 away from the second sub-block V1b. The second signal line L2 includes multiple second connection blocks L21, which are adjacent to the first sub-block V1a.

[0147] That is, the shape of the signal block V1 is stepped. In areas where space is allowed, the width of the signal block V1 is wider. In areas where other structures are provided, such as the first connection block L11 or the first connection block L11, the width of the signal block V1 is correspondingly narrowed.

[0148] According to some exemplary embodiments, the second signal trace L2 includes a second signal segment L22 connected between two adjacent second connection blocks L21. The second signal segment L22 includes a first sub-segment L221, a second sub-segment L222, and a third sub-segment L223 arranged along the second direction Y. A portion of the first sub-segment L221 is adjacent to the second sub-block V1b, a portion of the second sub-segment L222 is adjacent to the third sub-block V1c, and the third sub-segment L223 is connected and arranged between the first sub-segment L221 and the second sub-segment L222.

[0149] The first subsegment L221 and the second subsegment L222 extend along the second direction Y. The second subsegment L222 is closer to the adjacent first signal line L1 than the first subsegment L221. One end of the third subsegment L223 is connected to the first subsegment L221 and extends along the third direction until the other end is connected to the second subsegment L222. The third direction intersects the second direction Y. The second signal segment L22 is configured as a zigzag line, with at least a portion of the second signal segment L22 configured to bend conformally with the edge of the signal block V1. This helps reduce the wiring space for the second signal line L2, thereby allowing a second signal line L2 to be provided on either side of a first power signal line VDD along the first direction X.

[0150] According to some exemplary embodiments, the first signal line L1 includes a first signal segment L12 connected between two adjacent first connection blocks L11 , and the first signal segment L12 is a straight line extending along the second direction.

[0151] According to some exemplary embodiments, the first conductive layer further includes a plurality of anode connection portions 71, with one anode connection portion 71 provided on each side of the signal connection segment V2 along the first direction X. Because the signal connection segment V2 is approximately centrally connected to the signal block V1 and is relatively narrow, there is ample space on both sides of the signal connection segment V2 along the first direction X for providing the anode connection portion 71. The anode connection portion 71 is used to electrically connect the first electrode of the light-emitting device, i.e., the anode of the light-emitting device, to the pixel driving circuit unit.

[0152] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG8 , the display substrate further includes a second insulating layer located on a side of the first conductive layer away from the base substrate, and a first electrode layer located on a side of the second insulating layer away from the base substrate. The second insulating layer has a plurality of second via holes H02, and the first electrode layer is electrically connected to the anode connection portion 71 through the second via holes H02. The orthographic projection of the first via hole H01 on the base substrate is located between the orthographic projections of two adjacent second via holes H02 on the base substrate.

[0153] According to some exemplary embodiments, the pixel driving circuit unit may have a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C, 7T2C, 8T1C, or 8T2C structure.

[0154] FIG9 schematically shows an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0155] 9 , the pixel driving circuit unit includes a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, a sixth transistor T6, a seventh transistor T7, and a storage capacitor C. The pixel driving circuit is electrically connected to a first power signal line VDD, a second power signal line VSS, a first scan signal line S1, a second scan signal line S2, a third scan signal line S3, a fourth scan signal line S4, a first initialization signal line Vinit1, and a second initialization signal line Vinit2, respectively.

[0156] For example, as shown in Figure 12, the first transistor T1 is a first reset transistor, the second transistor T2 is a threshold compensation transistor, the third transistor T3 is a driving transistor, the fourth transistor T4 is a data writing transistor, the fifth transistor T5 is a second light-emitting control transistor, the sixth transistor T6 is a first light-emitting control transistor, and the seventh transistor T7 is a second reset control transistor.

[0158] The second transistor T2 is also a threshold compensation transistor. The first electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the N1 node, that is, electrically connected to the gate electrode of the third transistor T3. The second electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the N3 node, that is, the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the third transistor T3. The gate electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second scan signal line S2 to receive the second scan signal.

[0159] A gate electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the N1 node, so as to be electrically connected to the first plate of the storage capacitor C, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first electrode of the second transistor T2.

[0160] The fourth transistor T4 is also the data writing transistor. The first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the data signal line Data to receive the data signal. The second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the second node N2, that is, the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first electrode of the third transistor T3. The gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the third scan signal line S3 to receive the third scan signal.

[0161] The fifth transistor T5 is also the second light-emitting control transistor. The first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first power signal line VDD to receive the first power signal. The second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second node N2, that is, the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first electrode of the third transistor T3. The gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the fourth scan signal line S4 to receive the fourth scan signal.

[0162] The sixth transistor T6 is also the first light-emitting control transistor. A first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the N3 node, i.e., the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the third transistor T3. A second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, i.e., the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the anode of the light-emitting device 120. A gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the fourth scan signal line S4 to receive a fourth scan signal. The gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 and the gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 can both be electrically connected to the fourth scan signal line S4 to receive the same scan signal. The gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 and the gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 can also be electrically connected to different scan signal lines to receive different scan signals.

[0163] A first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second initialization signal line Vinit2 to receive the second initialization signal. A second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, i.e., the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the anode of the light-emitting device 120. A gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the third scan signal line S3 to receive the third scan signal. The gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 and the gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4 can both be electrically connected to the third scan signal line S3 to receive the same scan signal. The gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 and the gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4 can also be electrically connected to different scan signal lines to receive different scan signals.

[0164] The first plate of the storage capacitor C is electrically connected to the N1 node, ie, electrically connected to the gate electrode of the third transistor T3 , and the second plate of the storage capacitor C is electrically connected to the first power signal line VDD.

[0165] The pixel driving circuit unit can be electrically connected to the light-emitting device 120 in the sub-pixel. The light-emitting device 120 can be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The pixel driving circuit is used to drive the light-emitting device 120 to emit light. The light-emitting device 120 can be electrically connected between the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 and the second power signal line VSS.

[0166] For example, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 may be a P-type transistor, or may be an N-type transistor. Using the same type of transistors in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the process difficulty of the display substrate, and improve the yield of the product. In some possible implementations, the first transistor T1 to the eighth transistor T8 may include P-type transistors and N-type transistors. Exemplarily, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be N-type transistors, and the third transistor T3 to the seventh transistor T7 may be P-type transistors.

[0167] For example, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 may be low-temperature polysilicon transistors, or oxide transistors, or low-temperature polysilicon transistors and metal oxide transistors. The active layer of the low-temperature polysilicon transistor is made of low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS), and the active layer of the metal oxide transistor is made of metal oxide semiconductor (Oxide). Low-temperature polysilicon transistors have advantages such as high mobility and fast charging, while oxide transistors have advantages such as low leakage current. Integrating low-temperature polysilicon transistors and metal oxide transistors on a display substrate to form a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display substrate can take advantage of the advantages of both, achieve low-frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display quality.

[0168] For example, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be metal oxide transistors, and the third transistor T3 to the seventh transistor T7 may be low temperature polysilicon transistors.

[0169] For example, the first power signal line VDD refers to a signal line that outputs a first power signal and can be electrically connected to a voltage source to output a constant voltage signal, such as a positive voltage signal. The second power signal line VSS refers to a signal line that outputs a second power signal and can be electrically connected to a voltage source to output a constant voltage signal, such as a negative voltage signal.

[0170] It should be noted that FIG9 exemplarily shows a circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit unit, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto and can be replaced with other conventional pixel driving circuit units in the art according to actual needs.

[0171] According to some exemplary embodiments, the display substrate includes a base substrate, a first active layer located on the base substrate, a first gate insulating layer located on a side of the first active layer away from the base substrate, a first gate metal layer located on a side of the first gate insulating layer away from the base substrate, a second gate insulating layer located on a side of the first gate metal layer away from the base substrate, a second gate metal layer located on a side of the second gate insulating layer away from the base substrate, a third gate insulating layer located on a side of the second gate metal layer away from the base substrate, a second active layer located on a side of the third gate insulating layer away from the base substrate, a fourth gate insulating layer located on a side of the second active layer away from the base substrate, and a A third gate metal layer, an interlayer insulating layer located on the side of the third gate metal layer away from the substrate, a first source-drain metal layer located on the side of the interlayer insulating layer away from the substrate, a passivation layer located on the side of the first source-drain metal layer away from the substrate, a first planarizing layer located on the side of the passivation layer away from the substrate, a second source-drain metal layer located on the side of the first planarizing layer away from the substrate, a second planarizing layer located on the side of the second source-drain metal layer away from the substrate, a third source-drain metal layer located on the side of the second planarizing layer away from the substrate, a third planarizing layer located on the side of the third source-drain metal layer away from the substrate, and a first electrode layer located on the side of the third planarizing layer away from the substrate.

It should be noted that in FIG10A , the seventh active portion of the seventh transistor T7 is the active portion structure of the pixel driving circuit located in the Mth row, while the third through sixth active portions of the third through sixth transistors T3 through T6, which are connected as an integrated structure, are the active portion structure of the pixel driving circuit located in the M+1th row. Therefore, the third through seventh active portions are spaced apart from each other, but in a single pixel driving circuit, the third through seventh active portions are interconnected as an integrated structure.

[0237] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B , a portion of the orthographic projection of the bridge strip LQ on the substrate substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the fourth signal trace L4 on the substrate substrate, and a portion of the orthographic projection of the bridge strip LQ on the substrate substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 on the substrate substrate.

[0238] Figure 15A schematically shows a plan view of a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer in some display panels according to embodiments of the present disclosure located in area A3 in Figure 1. Figure 15B schematically shows an enlarged view of area C5 in Figure 15A.

[0239] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 15A , the first transfer trace LT1 has a first break K1 and a second break K2. The first break K1 is located on the side of the third via H03 away from the fourth via H04, and the second break K2 is located on the side of the fourth via H04 away from the third via H03. The first transfer trace LT1 has a first transfer segment LT1a that is interrupted between the first break K1 and the second break K2. The first transfer segment LT1a is used to transfer data signals, while the remaining portion of the first transfer trace LT1, excluding the first transfer segment LT1a, can be used to transmit other constant voltage signals required by the display substrate.

[0240] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 15A , the orthographic projections of the first break K1 and the second break K2 on the substrate are located within the orthographic projection of the first conductive layer on the substrate. By arranging the first break K1 and the second break K2 in an area where the first conductive layer is located, that is, by arranging the first break K1 and the second break K2 in an area with a metal structure, the occurrence of visually discernible display unevenness caused by the first break K1 and the second break K2 can be effectively avoided. For example, the orthographic projections of the first break K1 and the second break K2 on the substrate are located within the orthographic projection of the first power signal line VDD on the substrate.

[0241] According to some exemplary embodiments, the first crevices are spaced apart and arranged in a row along the second direction; and / or the second crevices are spaced apart and arranged in a row along the second direction. For example, referring to FIG15A , the first crevices K1 are spaced apart and arranged in a row along the second direction Y, and the second crevices K2 are spaced apart and arranged in a row along the second direction Y. This arrangement ensures that the lengths of the first transfer sections LT1a are equal, thereby ensuring that the loading of each first transfer section LT1a when transferring data signals is consistent.

[0242] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 15A , for the first transfer trace LT1 farthest from the first peripheral region (i.e., the topmost first transfer trace LT1 shown in the figure), the orthographic projection of the first break K1 in this first transfer trace LT1 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first power signal line VDD closest to the third via H03 on the substrate. The first breaks K1 in other first transfer traces LT1 closer to the first peripheral region are positioned according to the position of the first break K1 farthest from the first peripheral region, such that the first breaks K1 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y at intervals.

[0243] It should be understood that the orthographic projection of the first break K1 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first power signal line VDD on the substrate closest to the third via H03. The third via H03 here refers to the third via H03 that electrically connects the first transfer trace LT1 of the first break K1 with the second transfer trace LT2.

[0244] For the first transfer trace LT1 farthest from the first peripheral region (i.e., the topmost first transfer trace LT1 shown in the figure), the orthographic projection of the second break K2 in this first transfer trace LT1 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first power signal line VDD closest to the fourth via H04 on the substrate. The second breaks K2 in the other first transfer traces LT1 closer to the first peripheral region are positioned according to the position of the second break K2 farthest from the first peripheral region, so that the second breaks K2 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y with intervals therebetween.

[0245] It should be understood that the orthographic projection of the second break K2 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first power signal line VDD on the substrate closest to the fourth via H04. The fourth via H04 here refers to the fourth via H04 that electrically connects the first transfer trace LT1 of the second break K2 with the second signal trace L2.

[0246] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG15A , the second transfer trace LT2 has a third break K3, which is located on a side of the third via H03 away from the first peripheral area. Referring to FIG15B , the third break K3 divides the second transfer trace LT2 into two parts. The portion between the third break K3 and the binding pad (i.e., the portion located below the third break K3 shown in FIG15A ) serves as the second transfer segment LT2a, which is used to transfer data signals. The remaining portion (i.e., the portion located above the third break K3 shown in FIG15A ) does not participate in the transfer of data signals and can be used to transmit other constant voltage signals required by the display substrate.

[0247] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 15A , the orthographic projection of the third break K3 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the second conductive layer on the substrate. For example, the orthographic projection of the third break K3 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 on the substrate. By placing the third break K3 in the area where the second conductive layer is located, that is, placing the third break K3 in an area with a metal structure, the problem of display unevenness that can be detected by the human eye due to the placement of the third break K3 can be effectively avoided.

[0248] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 15A , the orthographic projection of the third break K3 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the third via H03 on the substrate. This minimizes the length of the second transfer section LT2a, i.e., minimizes the load on the second transfer section LT2a, while maintaining the ability of the second transfer section LT2a to transfer data signals. At the same time, the remaining portion of the second transfer trace LT2 available for transmitting other constant-voltage signals is maximized.

[0249] It should be understood that the orthographic projection of the third break K3 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 on the substrate closest to the third via H03. The third via H03 here refers to the third via H03 that electrically connects the second transfer trace LT2 of the third break K3 with the first transfer trace LT1.

[0250] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 15A , the second signal trace L2 in the sub-trace group is directly electrically connected to the first pixel driver circuit group. That is, the second signal trace L2 serves as the data signal line for the column of sub-pixels. Therefore, the load generated when the data signal is transferred from the bonding pad to the second signal trace L2 is generated by the first transfer section LT1a and the second transfer section LT2a.

[0251] Furthermore, the first breaks K1 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y, and the second breaks K2 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the third break K3 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the third via H03 on the substrate. In this way, the load on each first transfer segment LT1a remains consistent, and only the load on each second transfer segment LT2a varies. Therefore, when transmitting data signals to different first pixel driver circuit groups, the load difference is caused solely by the different lengths of the second transfer segments LT2a. In other words, there is only one factor causing the load difference, allowing the driver chip to compensate for the data signal accordingly.

[0252] Figure 16A schematically shows a plan view of a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer in some display panels according to embodiments of the present disclosure, located in area A3 in Figure 1. Figure 16B schematically shows an enlarged view of area C6 in Figure 16A.

[0253] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 16A, the second signal trace L2 electrically connected to the first transfer segment LT1a serves as the third transfer trace LT3. The third transfer trace LT3 is electrically connected to the first signal trace L1 in the sub-trace group LA through at least one bridge bar LQ. The first signal trace L1 is then electrically connected to the corresponding first pixel driving circuit group for connecting the data signal to each pixel driving circuit unit of the first pixel driving circuit group.

[0254] Referring to Figures 16A and 16B , the third transfer trace LT3 extends continuously from one end of the display area near the first peripheral area to the other end of the display area far from the first peripheral area. In other words, there is no break in the third transfer trace LT3. The third transfer trace LT3 is electrically connected to the adjacent first signal trace L1 via one or more bridge strips LQ, effectively connecting the third transfer trace LT3 and the first signal trace L1 in parallel. The resistance of the third transfer trace LT3 and the first signal trace L1, combined in parallel, is lower than that of the first signal trace L1 alone, thus mitigating IR drop during data signal transmission.

[0255] For example, referring to Figures 16A and 16B, for any third transfer trace LT3, a bridge bar LQ is set in all areas where the third signal trace L3 is provided to electrically connect the third transfer trace LT3 with the adjacent first signal trace L1, that is, the third transfer trace LT3 is electrically connected to the adjacent first signal trace L1 through multiple bridge bars LQ, and the orthographic projections of the multiple bridge bars LQ on the substrate are respectively located within the orthographic projections of the multiple third signal traces L3 on the substrate.

[0256] Based on this, whether or not to provide breaks on the first and second transfer traces LT1 and LT2 can be determined based on actual process requirements. For example, referring to Figure 16A , the first transfer trace LT1 is provided with a first break K1 and a second break K2, while the second transfer trace LT2 is provided with a third break K3. Specifically, the first breaks K1 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y, and the second breaks K2 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the third break K3 on the substrate lies within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the third via H03.

[0257] FIG17 schematically shows a plan view of a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer in some display panels according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are located in area A3 in FIG1 .

[0258] 17 , the third breaks K3 in the second transfer traces LT2 are arranged in a row along the first direction X. This arrangement ensures that the lengths of the second transfer segments LT2a are equal, thereby ensuring that the loads on the second transfer segments LT2a are consistent.

[0259] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 17 , for a second transfer trace LT2 farthest from the first display area AA1, the orthographic projection of the third break K3 in the second transfer trace LT2 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the third via H03 on the substrate. The third breaks K3 in other second transfer traces LT2 closer to the first display area AA1 are positioned according to the position of the third break K3 farthest from the first display area AA1, such that the third breaks K3 are arranged in a row along the first direction X at intervals.

[0260] It should be understood that the orthographic projection of the third break K3 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 on the substrate closest to the third via H03. The third via H03 here refers to the third via H03 that electrically connects the second transfer trace LT2 of the third break K3 with the first transfer trace LT1.

[0261] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 17 , the second signal trace L2 in the trace group is directly electrically connected to the first pixel driver circuit group. That is, the second signal trace L2 serves as the data signal line for the column of sub-pixels. Therefore, the load generated when the data signal is transferred from the bonding pad to the second signal trace L2 is generated on the first transfer section LT1a and the second transfer section LT2a.

[0262] Furthermore, the first breaks K1 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y, the second breaks K2 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y, and the third breaks K3 are arranged in a row along the first direction X. With this arrangement, the lengths of the first transfer sections LT1a and the second transfer sections LT2a are equal. Therefore, when transferring different second signal traces L2, the loads generated by the first transfer sections LT1a and the second transfer sections LT2a remain consistent.

[0263] FIG18 schematically shows a plan view of a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer in some display panels according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are located in area A3 in FIG1 .

[0264] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 18 , the second signal trace L2 electrically connected to the first transfer trace LT1 is a third transfer trace LT3. The third transfer trace LT3 is located in the first display area AA1. The third transfer trace LT3 has a fourth break K4 and a fifth break K5. The fourth break K4 is located on the side of the fourth via H04 away from the first peripheral area, and the fifth break K5 is located on the side of the fourth via H04 closer to the first peripheral area. The third transfer trace LT3 includes a third transfer segment LT3a interrupted between the fourth break K4 and the fifth break K5. The third transfer segment LT3a is electrically connected to the adjacent first signal trace L1 via at least one bridge LQ. The first signal trace L1 is electrically connected to the corresponding first pixel driver circuit group to receive data signals.

[0265] At this time, the first signal line L1 serves as the data signal line of the column of sub-pixels. Therefore, when the data signal is transferred from the bonding pad to the first signal line L1, the load is generated on the first transfer section LT1a, the second transfer section LT2a, and the third transfer section LT3a.

[0266] Furthermore, the first breaks K1 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y, and the second breaks K2 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y. This arrangement ensures that the lengths of the first transfer sections LT1a are equal, thereby ensuring that the loads of the first transfer sections LT1a when transferring data signals are consistent.

[0267] In addition, the orthographic projection of the third break K3 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the third via H03 on the substrate. This ensures that the length of the second transfer section LT2a is kept as short as possible without affecting the data signal transfer function of the second transfer section LT2a, thereby minimizing the load on the second transfer section LT2a. Specifically, the second transfer section LT2a electrically connected to the first pixel driver circuit group closest to the second display area AA2 is the shortest, i.e., the second transfer section LT2a electrically connected to the first signal trace L1 closest to the second display area AA2 is the shortest; the second transfer section LT2a electrically connected to the first pixel driver circuit group farthest from the second display area AA2 is the longest, i.e., the second transfer section LT2a electrically connected to the first signal trace L1 farthest from the second display area AA2 is the longest.

[0268] To compensate for the load differences caused by the varying lengths of different second transfer segments LT2a, the length of the third transfer segment LT3a closest to the second display area AA2 is set to be greater than the length of the third transfer segment LT3a farther from the second display area AA2. Consequently, for the first signal line L1 closest to the second display area AA2, the second transfer segment LT2a electrically connected thereto is the shortest, and the third transfer segment LT3a electrically connected thereto is the longest. For the first signal line L1 farthest from the second display area AA2, the second transfer segment LT2a electrically connected thereto is the longest, and the third transfer segment LT3a electrically connected thereto is the shortest. This configuration minimizes the load generated by transferring data signals to different first signal lines while balancing the load, thereby reducing the power consumption of the display panel.

[0269] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 18, in order to achieve that the length of the third transition segment LT3a close to the second display area AA2 is greater than the length of the third transition segment LT3a away from the second display area AA2, the fourth breaks K4 are arranged in a row along the first direction X; among the two adjacent fifth breaks K5, the fifth break K5 close to the second display area is closer to the first peripheral area than the fifth break K5 away from the second display area AA2.

[0270] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 18 , for the third transfer trace LT3 farthest from the second display area AA2, the orthographic projection of the fourth break K4 in the third transfer trace LT3 on the substrate substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the fourth via H04 on the substrate substrate. The fourth breaks K4 in other third transfer traces LT3 closer to the second display area AA2 are arranged according to the position of the fourth break K4 farthest from the second display area AA2, such that the fourth breaks K4 are arranged in a row spaced apart along the first direction X. Furthermore, for each third transfer trace LT3, the orthographic projection of its fifth break K5 on the substrate substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the corresponding fourth via H04 on the substrate substrate.

[0271] It should be understood that the orthographic projection of the fourth break K4 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the fourth via H04 on the substrate. Here, the fourth via H04 refers to the fourth via H04 that electrically connects the third transfer trace LT3 and the first transfer trace LT1 provided with the fourth break K4. Similarly, the orthographic projection of the fifth break K5 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the fourth via H04 on the substrate. Here, the fourth via H04 refers to the fourth via H04 that electrically connects the third transfer trace LT3 and the first transfer trace LT1 provided with the fifth break K5.

[0272] FIG19 schematically shows a plan view of a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer in some display panels according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are located in area A4 in FIG1 .

[0273] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG19 , a first insulating layer is provided between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The first insulating layer has a plurality of third vias H03 and a plurality of fourth vias H04. Referring to FIG11 , the second transfer trace LT2 is electrically connected to the first transfer trace LT1 via the third vias H03, and the sub-trace group LA is electrically connected to the first transfer trace LT1 via the fourth vias H04. The connection trend lines of the third vias H03 and the fourth vias H04 intersect, that is, the connection trend lines of the third vias H03 and the fourth vias H04 are substantially V-shaped.

[0274] According to some exemplary embodiments, the first insulating layer has a plurality of fifth vias H05, and the plurality of second signal traces L2 are electrically connected to the plurality of fourth signal traces L4 through the plurality of fifth vias H05. Portions of the second signal traces L2 and the fourth signal traces L4 that do not require data signal transfer can be used to transmit constant voltage signals. These portions of the second signal traces L2 and the fourth signal traces L4 are electrically connected through the fifth vias H05 to form a grid of signal traces.

[0275] The plurality of fifth vias H05 include a plurality of fifth via groups H05A. A connecting trend line of a portion of the fifth vias H05 within the fifth via group H05A is a first connecting trend line F1, and a connecting trend line of the remaining portion of the fifth vias H05 within the fifth via group H05A is a second connecting trend line F2. The first connecting trend line F1 is substantially parallel to the connecting trend lines of each third via H03, and the second connecting trend line F2 is substantially parallel to the connecting trend lines of each fourth via H04.

[0276] It should be noted that the “substantially parallel” here should be understood as the angle between the extension directions of the two being smaller than a preset value, for example, the angle being smaller than 5 degrees or the angle being smaller than 10 degrees.

[0277] FIG20 schematically shows a plan view of a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer in some display panels according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are located in area A4 in FIG1 .

[0278] According to some exemplary embodiments, the first insulating layer has a plurality of fifth vias H05, and the plurality of second signal traces L2 are electrically connected to the plurality of fourth signal traces L4 through the plurality of fifth vias H05. The connection trend line of a portion of the fifth vias H05 within the fifth via group H05A is a first connection trend line F1, and the connection trend line of the remaining portion of the fifth vias H05 within the fifth via group H05A is a second connection trend line F2. The first connection trend line F1 is not parallel to the connection trend lines of each third via H03, and the second connection trend line F2 is not parallel to the connection trend lines of each fourth via H04. The position distribution of the connection points between the second and fourth signal traces for transferring data signals is set to be inconsistent with the position distribution of the connection points between the second and fourth signal traces for transmitting constant voltage signals, thereby breaking the periodicity of the connection point position distributions and reducing visual mura.

[0279] It should be noted that “non-parallel” here should be understood as the angle between the extension directions of the two being greater than a preset value, for example, the angle being greater than 5 degrees or the angle being greater than 10 degrees.

[0280] FIG21 schematically shows a plan view of a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer in some display panels according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are located in area A4 in FIG1 .

[0281] According to some exemplary embodiments, the connection trend lines of each fifth via in the fifth via group are X-shaped, W-shaped, or M-shaped, thereby differing from the V-shaped trend lines formed by the third and fourth vias. This allows for a difference in the distribution of connection points between the second and fourth signal traces for transferring data signals and the distribution of connection points between the second and fourth signal traces for transmitting constant voltage signals. For example, referring to FIG. 21 , the connection trend lines of each fifth via H05 in the fifth via group H05A are X-shaped.

[0282] Figure 22 schematically illustrates a plan view of the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, and the first electrode layer in some display panels according to embodiments of the present disclosure, located in area A3 of Figure 1. Figure 23 schematically illustrates a plan view of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer in some display panels according to embodiments of the present disclosure, located in area A3 of Figure 1.

[0283] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 , FIG. 22 , and FIG. 23 , the fourth signal trace L4 includes a plurality of third connection blocks L41 , and the plurality of third connection blocks L41 include a plurality of first connection sub-blocks L411 and a plurality of second connection sub-blocks L412 .

[0284] A first insulating layer is disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The first insulating layer has multiple vias H. The orthographic projections of the vias H on the substrate are located within the orthographic projections of the first connector blocks L411 on the substrate. Specifically, the first insulating layer has vias H in the region of the first connector block L411, but no vias in the region of the second connector block L412. The first connector block L411 is electrically connected to the second signal trace L2 via the vias, while the second connector block L412 is separated from the second signal trace L2 by the first insulating layer.

[0285] For example, the plurality of vias H include a plurality of third vias H03, a plurality of fourth vias H04, and a plurality of fifth vias H05. The third vias H03 are vias electrically connecting the first transfer trace LT1 and the second transfer trace LT2, and the fourth vias H04 are vias electrically connecting the first transfer trace LT1 and the third transfer trace LT3. Excluding the third and fourth vias H03 and H04, the remaining vias are defined as fifth vias H05.

[0286] The display substrate further includes a first electrode layer 300 located on a side of the first conductive layer away from the base substrate. At least a portion of the orthographic projection of the second connection sub-block LT2 on the base substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first electrode layer 300 on the base substrate. The first electrode shields areas where vias H are not provided, thereby eliminating display mura caused by the non-periodic distribution of vias H.

[0287] For example, the orthographic projection of the second connection sub-block LT2 on the base substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first electrode layer 300 on the base substrate.

[0288] According to some exemplary embodiments, the first electrode layer 300 includes a plurality of first electrodes 310 arranged in an array. The display substrate further includes a pixel defining layer located on a side of the first electrode layer away from the base substrate. The pixel defining layer includes a plurality of pixel openings 400, with each pixel opening 400 exposing one first electrode 310. The orthographic projection of the pixel opening 400 on the base substrate is spaced apart from the orthographic projection of the via H on the base substrate.

[0289] 22 , the pixel opening 400 is in the shape of a rounded rectangle. Alternatively, the pixel opening 400 is in the shape of a circle, an ellipse, a diamond, or the like.

[0290] According to some exemplary embodiments, the multiple first electrodes 310 include multiple first sub-electrodes 311, multiple second sub-electrodes 312 and multiple third sub-electrodes 313, the display substrate includes multiple first light-emitting devices, multiple second light-emitting devices and multiple third devices, the first sub-electrode 311 serves as the anode of the first light-emitting device, the second sub-electrode 312 serves as the anode of the second light-emitting device, and the third sub-electrode 313 serves as the anode of the third light-emitting device.

[0291] For example, the first light emitting device emits red light, the second light emitting device emits green light, and the third light emitting device emits blue light.

[0292] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 23, the first transfer trace LT1 has a first break K1 and a second break K2, the first break K1 is located on the side of the third via H03 away from the fourth via H04, and the second break K2 is located on the side of the fourth via H04 away from the third via H03, and the first breaks K1 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y, and the second breaks K2 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y.

[0293] For example, for the first transfer trace LT1 farthest from the first peripheral region (i.e., the first transfer trace LT1 located at the top as shown in the figure), the orthographic projection of the first break K1 in this first transfer trace LT1 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first power signal line closest to the third via H03 on the substrate. The first breaks K1 in other first transfer traces LT1 closer to the first peripheral region are arranged according to the position of the first break K1 farthest from the first peripheral region, so that the first breaks K1 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y at intervals.

[0294] For example, for the first transfer trace LT1 farthest from the first peripheral region (i.e., the topmost first transfer trace LT1 shown in the figure), the orthographic projection of the second break K2 in this first transfer trace LT1 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first power signal line closest to the fourth via H04 on the substrate. The second breaks K2 in other first transfer traces LT1 closer to the first peripheral region are positioned according to the position of the second break K2 farthest from the first peripheral region, such that the second breaks K2 are arranged in a row along the second direction Y at intervals.

[0295] The first transfer trace LT1 has a first transfer segment LT1a interrupted between the first break K1 and the second break K2. In the remaining plurality of first transfer segments LT1a except the first transfer segment LT1a farthest from the first peripheral area, the first transfer segment LT1a further has at least one sixth break K6.

[0296] In the first transfer section LT1a, the orthographic projection of the sixth break K6 closest to the first display area AA1 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first power signal line VDD closest to the third via H03 on the substrate (refer to Figure 11), and the first power signal line VDD is located on the side of the third via H03 away from the first display area AA1, and the orthographic projections of the two adjacent sixth breaks K6 on the substrate are respectively located within the orthographic projections of the two adjacent first power signal lines VDD on the substrate, and the orthographic projections of the first break K1 and the adjacent sixth break K6 on the substrate are respectively located within the orthographic projections of the two adjacent first power signal lines VDD on the substrate.

[0297] The second signal line electrically connected to the first transfer line LT1 through the fourth via H04 is the third transfer line LT3. The third transfer line LT3 has a fourth break K4 and a fifth break K5. The fourth break K4 is located on the side of the fourth via H04 away from the first peripheral area, and the fifth break K5 is located on the side of the fourth via H04 close to the first peripheral area. The fourth breaks K4 are arranged in a row along the first direction X, and the fifth breaks K5 are arranged in a row along the first direction X.

[0298] For example, for the third transfer trace LT3 farthest from the second display area AA2, the orthographic projection of the fourth break K4 in the third transfer trace LT3 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the fourth via H04 on the substrate. The fourth breaks K4 in other third transfer traces LT3 closer to the second display area AA2 are positioned according to the position of the fourth break K4 farthest from the second display area AA2, such that the fourth breaks K4 are arranged in a row along the first direction X at intervals.

[0299] For example, for the third transfer trace LT3 closest to the second display area AA2, the orthographic projection of the fifth break K5 in the third transfer trace LT3 on the substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the third signal trace L3 closest to the fourth via H04 on the substrate. The fifth breaks K5 in other third transfer traces LT3 further away from the second display area AA2 are positioned according to the position of the fifth break K5 closest to the second display area AA2, such that the fifth breaks K5 are arranged in a row along the first direction X at intervals.

[0300] The third transfer trace LT3 has a third transfer section LT3a interrupted between the fourth break K4 and the fifth break K5. A seventh break K7 is provided between any two adjacent second connection blocks L21 in the third transfer section LT3a.

The second source / drain metal layer in the display substrate with two source / drain metal layers can be considered to be a combination of the first and second source / drain metal layers in the display substrate with three source / drain metal layers.

[0309] FIG24 schematically shows a plan view of a second conductive layer in a display region of a display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0311] Furthermore, the first source / drain metal layer also includes a third signal trace L3 and a fourth signal trace L4.

[0314] Referring to Figure 25 , the orthographic projection of the first signal segment L31 on the substrate partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first signal trace L1 on the substrate, while the orthographic projection of the second signal segment L32 on the substrate is spaced apart from the orthographic projection of the first signal trace L1 on the substrate. The dimension of the first signal segment L31 along the second direction Y is larger than the dimension of the fourth signal trace L4 along the second direction Y, and the orthographic projection of the second signal segment L32 on the substrate is spaced apart from the orthographic projection of the signal block V1 on the substrate. This means that the first signal segment L31 retains a relatively wide width, while the width of the second signal segment L32 is somewhat narrowed due to wiring space limitations.
