[0042] Details
[0043] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person skilled in the art can easily understand that the method and content can be transformed into other forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other in any manner.
[0044] In the drawings, the size of one or more components, layer thicknesses, or regions may be exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, one embodiment of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to these dimensions, and the shapes and sizes of one or more components in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate idealized examples, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0045] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number. "Multiple" in this disclosure means two or more.
[0046] 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 is not intended to 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 limitations on the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the orientation of the constituent elements being described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced depending on the circumstances.
[0047] 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 connections, removable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the circumstances.
[0048] In this specification, a transistor refers to a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate (gate electrode), a drain, and a source. A transistor has a channel region between the drain (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain, channel region, and source. In this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0049] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain and the second electrode can be a source, or the first electrode can be a source and the second electrode can be a drain. Furthermore, the gate electrode can also be referred to as a control electrode. The functions of "source" and "drain" are sometimes interchangeable when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in this specification, "source" and "drain" can be interchangeable.
[0050] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables transmission of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with multiple functions.
[0051] 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°.
[0052] In this specification, circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons are not in the strict sense, but may be approximate circles, approximate ellipses, approximate triangles, approximate rectangles, approximate trapezoids, approximate pentagons or approximate hexagons, etc. There may be some small deformations caused by tolerances, such as chamfers, arc edges and deformations.
[0053] In this specification, "about" and "substantially" are used without strict limits and allow for process and measurement errors. In this disclosure, "substantially the same" means that the numerical values differ by less than 10%.
[0054] In this specification, "A extends along direction B" means that A may include a main portion and a secondary portion connected to the main portion, the main portion being a line, line segment, or strip, extending along direction B, and the length of the main portion extending along direction B being greater than the length of the secondary portion extending along other directions. Throughout this specification, "A extends along direction B" means "the main portion of A extends along direction B."
[0055] As used herein, "A and B are in the same layer" means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process. "Same layer" does not always mean that the thickness or height of the layer is the same in a cross-sectional view. "The orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the orthographic projection of B falls within the orthographic projection of A, or that the orthographic projection of A covers the orthographic projection of B.
[0056] To better meet people's needs for various functions and a better screen experience (for example, displays with an ultra-high screen-to-body ratio), narrow-border display designs are gradually becoming the mainstream form factor of display devices. However, in some implementations, the layout of some signal lines and circuits in the border area of the display panel is not conducive to achieving a narrow border on the display panel.

[0058] In this example, A and B being adjacent means that A and B are close to each other and there is no other circuit structure between them.
[0059] The display panel provided in this embodiment can optimize the arrangement of the first electrostatic release circuit in the first frame area by setting the first electrostatic release circuit in the second fan-out area, which is beneficial to optimizing the wiring space in the first frame area and thus conducive to narrow frame design.
[0060] In some exemplary embodiments, the display panel may further include: a first power fan-out line located in the second fan-out area. The first power fan-out line may include: a fan-out main body and a first fan-out extension, the fan-out main body may extend along a first direction, the first fan-out extension is connected to the fan-out main body, is located on a side of the fan-out main body away from the bending area, and extends along a second direction, the first direction intersecting the second direction.

The first group of electrostatic release circuits and the second group of electrostatic release circuits may be located on both sides of the first fan-out extension along the first direction. This example can optimize the arrangement of the first electrostatic release circuit in the first border area, which is conducive to optimizing the wiring space of the first border area.
[0061] In some exemplary embodiments, the plurality of first electrostatic discharge circuits may further include: a third group of electrostatic discharge circuits and a fourth group of electrostatic discharge circuits located in the second fan-out area.

In this example, the first peripheral power line may be used in the first fan-out area to shield the peripheral touch lines to prevent the peripheral touch lines from being interfered with by signals from the display structure layer.
[0065] The solution of this embodiment is illustrated below through some examples.
[0066] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of a display panel according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. In some examples, as shown in FIG1 , the display panel may include: a display area AA and a border area BB located around the display area AA. The border area BB may include: a first border area B1 located on one side of the display area AA and a second border area B2 located on the remaining sides of the display area AA. The first border area B1 may be located on one side of the display area AA along the second direction Y. The first border area B1 may be connected to the second border area B2. For example, the first border area B1 may be the lower border area of the display panel; the second border area B2 may include: a left border area, a right border area, and a top border area of the display panel.
[0067] In some examples, as shown in FIG1 , the display area AA may be a flat area including a plurality of sub-pixels P constituting a pixel array, and the plurality of sub-pixels P may be configured to display a dynamic image or a still image. The display area AA may be referred to as an active area. In some examples, the display area AA may be circular or elliptical. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the display area may be other shapes such as a rectangle. In some examples, the display panel may be a flexible panel, and thus the display panel may be deformable, such as being curled, bent, folded, or rolled up.
[0068] In some examples, as shown in FIG1 , the display area AA may include: a display structure layer provided on a substrate, or may include a display structure layer and a touch structure layer provided in sequence on a substrate. For example, the display panel may integrate a touch structure to form a structure in which the touch structure is on a thin film package (Touch on Thin Film Encapsulation, referred to as Touch on TFE). The Touch on TFE structure mainly includes a Flexible Multi-Layer On Cell (FMLOC) structure and a Flexible Single-Layer On Cell (FSLOC) structure. The FMLOC structure is based on the working principle of mutual capacitance detection. Generally, two layers of metal are used to form the driving (Tx) electrode and the sensing (Rx) electrode. The driving chip (IC) realizes the touch action by detecting the mutual capacitance between the driving electrode and the sensing electrode. The FSLOC structure is based on the working principle of self-capacitance (or voltage) detection. Generally, a single layer of metal is used to form the touch electrode. The integrated circuit realizes the touch action by detecting the self-capacitance (or voltage) of the touch electrode.
[0069] In some examples, the display structure layer may include a plurality of sub-pixels P, a plurality of gate lines GL, and a plurality of data lines DL. The plurality of gate lines GL may extend along a first direction X, and the plurality of data lines DL may extend along a second direction Y. The orthographic projections of the plurality of gate lines GL and the plurality of data lines DL on the substrate may intersect to form a plurality of sub-pixel regions. One sub-pixel P may be arranged in one sub-pixel region. The plurality of data lines DL may be electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels P, and the plurality of data lines DL may be configured to provide data signals to the plurality of sub-pixels P. The plurality of gate lines GL may be electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels P, and the plurality of gate lines GL may be configured to provide pixel control signals to the plurality of sub-pixels P. For example, the pixel control signal may include a scan signal, or may include a scan signal and a light-emitting control signal, or may include a scan signal, a reset control signal, and a light-emitting control signal.

For another example, a pixel unit may include four sub-pixels, and the four sub-pixels may include a sub-pixel emitting red light, a sub-pixel emitting blue light, and two sub-pixels emitting green light.
[0072] In some examples, a sub-pixel may include: a pixel circuit and a light-emitting element electrically connected to the pixel circuit.

In the above circuit structure, T refers to a thin film transistor, C refers to a capacitor, the number before T represents the number of thin film transistors in the circuit, and the number before C represents the number of capacitors in the circuit. In some examples, the multiple transistors in the pixel circuit may include P-type transistors and N-type transistors. In other examples, the multiple transistors in the pixel circuit may be P-type transistors or N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistors in the pixel circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the process difficulty of the display panel, and improve the product yield.
[0073] In some examples, the shape of the light-emitting elements of a sub-pixel can be rectangular, rhombus, pentagonal, or hexagonal. When a pixel unit includes three sub-pixels, the light-emitting elements of the three sub-pixels can be arranged horizontally, vertically, or in a triangular pattern; when a pixel unit includes four sub-pixels, the light-emitting elements of the four sub-pixels can be arranged horizontally, vertically, or in a square pattern. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.

The color of the light emitted by the light-emitting element may be determined as needed. In some examples, the light-emitting element may include: an anode, a cathode, and an organic light-emitting layer located between the anode and the cathode. The anode of the light-emitting element may be electrically connected to the corresponding pixel circuit. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.
[0075] Figure 2 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel circuit of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. The pixel circuit of this example is illustrated using an 8T1C structure as an example. In some examples, as shown in Figure 2, the pixel circuit of this example may include eight transistors (i.e., a first transistor T1 to an eighth transistor T8) and a storage capacitor Cst.

Low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistors have the advantages of high mobility and fast charging, while oxide thin film transistors have the advantages of low leakage current. Integrating low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistors and oxide thin film transistors on a display panel to form a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPS+Oxide) display panel can take advantage of the advantages of both, achieve low-frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display quality.

The gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second scan line GL2, the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first node N1. The gate of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the emission control line EML, the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first power line PL1, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second node N2.

[0080] In this example, the first node N1 is the connection point of the storage capacitor Cst, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3, the second node N2 is the connection point of the fifth transistor T5, the fourth transistor T4, the eighth transistor T8 and the third transistor T3, the third node N3 is the connection point of the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, the second transistor T2 and the sixth transistor T6, and the fourth node N4 is the connection point of the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7 and the light emitting element EL.
[0081] The operation process of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 2 is described below. In the pixel circuit, the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3 to the eighth transistor T8 are P-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 is an N-type transistor.
[0082] In some examples, during a frame display period, the operation process of the pixel circuit may include at least: a first stage, a second stage, a third stage, and a fourth stage.
[0083] The first stage is called the first reset stage. The second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 is a low-level signal, turning on the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8. The second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, turning on the second transistor T2. The eighth transistor T8 is turned on, allowing the third initial signal provided by the third initial signal line INIT3 to be supplied to the second node N2. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on, allowing the second initial signal provided by the second initial signal line INIT2 to be supplied to the fourth node N4, initializing the fourth node N4. The first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1 is a high-level signal, the first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1 is a high-level signal, and the emission control signal EM provided by the emission control line EML is a high-level signal, turning off the fourth transistor T4, the first transistor T1, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6. During this stage, the light-emitting element EL does not emit light.
[0084] The second phase is called the second reset phase. The first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1 is a low-level signal, turning on the first transistor T1; the second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, turning on the second transistor T2. The first and second transistors T1 and T2 are turned on, causing the first initial signal line provided by the first initial signal line INIT1 to be supplied to the first node N1, initializing the first node N1. The second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 is a high-level signal, the first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1 is a high-level signal, and the emission control signal EM provided by the emission control line EML is a high-level signal, turning off the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6. During this phase, the light-emitting element EL does not emit light.
[0085] The third stage is called the data writing stage or the threshold compensation stage. The first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1 is a low-level signal, and the fourth transistor T4 is turned on; the second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, and the second transistor T2 is turned on. During this stage, the first electrode of the storage capacitor Cst is at a low level, and the third transistor T3 is turned on. The second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the third transistor T3 are turned on, so that the data voltage Vdata output by the data line DL is provided to the first node N1 through the second node N2, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor T2. The difference between the data voltage Vdata output by the data line DL and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the storage capacitor Cst. The voltage of the first electrode of the storage capacitor Cst (i.e., the first node N1) is Vdata-|Vth|, where Vdata is the data voltage output by the data line DL and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. The first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1 is a high level signal, the second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 is a high level signal, and the light-emitting control signal EM provided by the light-emitting control line EML is a high level signal, so that the first transistor T1, the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are disconnected.
[0086] In the fourth stage, the emission control signal EM provided by the emission control line EML can be switched from a high-level signal to a low-level signal, turning on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6. The second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a low-level signal, turning off the second transistor T2. The first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1, the first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1, and the second reset control signal RESET2 provided by the second reset control line RST2 are high-level signals, turning off the fourth transistor T4, the first transistor T1, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8. The first voltage signal VDD output by the first power line PL1 can provide a driving voltage to the anode of the light-emitting element EL through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the third transistor T3, and the sixth transistor T6, driving the light-emitting element EL to emit light.
[0087] During the driving process of the pixel circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 is determined by the voltage difference between its gate and the first electrode. Since the voltage of the first node N1 is Vdata-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is: I=K×(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K×[(VDD-Vdata+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K×[VDD-Vdata]2 ;
[0088] Wherein, I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, that is, the driving current driving the light-emitting element, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vdata is the data voltage output by the data line DL, and VDD is the first voltage signal output by the first power line PL1.
[0089] From the above equation, it can be seen that the current flowing through the light-emitting element is independent of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. Therefore, the pixel circuit of this embodiment can effectively compensate for the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. Moreover, the pixel circuit provided by this embodiment can improve the display quality caused by low frequency and enhance the display effect of the light-emitting element.

For example, each light-emitting element may include a stacked first electrode 131, an organic light-emitting layer 132, and a second electrode 133. The first electrode 131 of the light-emitting element may be an anode. The first electrode 131 may be disposed on the eighth insulating layer 108 and electrically connected to the first transfer electrode 241 through a sixth pixel via provided in the eighth insulating layer 108.

At least a portion of the organic light-emitting layer 132 may be disposed within a pixel opening and connected to the corresponding first electrode 131.

Driven by the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 133, the organic light-emitting layer 132 may emit light of a corresponding color.

[0099] In some examples, the light-emitting layers of light-emitting elements of different colors may be different. For example, a red light-emitting element includes a red light-emitting layer, a green light-emitting element includes a green light-emitting layer, and a blue light-emitting element includes a blue light-emitting layer. In order to reduce the difficulty of the process and improve the yield, the hole injection layer and the hole transport layer on one side of the light-emitting layer may adopt a common layer, and the electron injection layer and the electron transport layer on the other side of the light-emitting layer may adopt a common layer. In some examples, any one or more layers of the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, the electron injection layer and the electron transport layer can be made by a one-time process (a one-time evaporation process or a one-time inkjet printing process), and isolation is achieved by means of a surface step difference of the formed film layer or by surface treatment. For example, any one or more layers of the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, the electron injection layer and the electron transport layer corresponding to adjacent sub-pixels can be isolated. In some examples, the organic light-emitting layer can be formed by evaporation using a fine metal mask (FMM) or an open mask (Open Mask), or by inkjet technology.

It may also include a desiccant or other absorbent material to absorb intrusive water, oxygen, and other substances. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.

The touch buffer layer 150 and the touch interlayer insulating layer 153 may be inorganic insulating layers, and the protective layer 154 may be an organic insulating layer. For example, the first touch conductive layer 151 may include a plurality of first touch electrodes, a plurality of second touch electrodes, and a plurality of first connecting portions. The first touch electrodes and the first connecting portions may be an integrated structure connected to each other. The second touch conductive layer 152 may include a plurality of second connecting portions. The second connecting portions may be connected to adjacent second touch electrodes through vias provided in the touch interlayer insulating layer. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, the first touch conductive layer may include: a plurality of first touch electrodes, a plurality of second touch electrodes, and a plurality of second connecting portions, wherein the second touch electrodes and the second connecting portions may be an interconnected integral structure; the second touch conductive layer may include a plurality of first connecting portions, wherein the first connecting portions may be interconnected with adjacent first touch electrodes via vias defined in the touch interlayer insulating layer. In some examples, the first touch electrodes may be drive (Tx) electrodes, and the second touch electrodes may be sense (Rx) electrodes. Alternatively, the first touch electrodes may be sense (Rx) electrodes, and the second touch electrodes may be drive (Tx) electrodes. This embodiment is not limited to this.

For example, in the left border area of the second border area B2, the light-emitting drive circuit 251, the first reset drive circuit 252, and the second reset drive circuit 253 may be arranged sequentially in the first direction X in a direction away from the display area AA; in the right border area of the second border area B2, the first scan drive circuit 261 and the second scan drive circuit 262 may be arranged sequentially in the first direction X in a direction away from the display area AA. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.
[0108] In some examples, the first scan driving circuit 261 may include a plurality of cascaded first scan driving units (e.g., GP(1) to GP(4)). Each stage of the first scan driving unit may be configured to provide a first scan signal to a row of pixel circuits in the display area AA. For example, the first stage of the first scan driving unit GP(1) may be configured to provide a first scan signal to the first row of pixel circuits in the display area AA.
[0109] In some examples, the second scan driving circuit 262 may include a plurality of cascaded second scan driving units (e.g., GN(1) to GN(4)).

[0111] In some examples, the first reset driver circuit 252 can include a plurality of cascaded first reset driver units (e.g., RP(1) to RP(4)). Each stage of the first reset driver unit can be configured to provide a first reset control signal to at least one row of pixel circuits in the display area AA.

[0113] In some examples, as shown in FIG1 , the first bezel area B1 may include: a first fan-out area B11, a bending area B12, a second fan-out area B13, a first signal access area B14, and a second signal access area B15, arranged sequentially in a direction away from the display area AA. The first fan-out area B11 may be connected to the second bezel area B2 and to the display area AA; the bending area B12 may be connected to the first fan-out area B11 and the second fan-out area B13. The bending area B12 may be configured to bend the second fan-out area B13, the first signal access area B14, and the second signal access area B15 toward the back of the display area AA.
[0114] In some examples, the pixel circuit shown in FIG2 requires a relatively large number of gate drive circuits, which increases the number of border traces provided in the first border region B1 of the display panel, hindering the narrow-border design of the display panel. The display panel of this example optimizes the circuits and traces within the first border region B1 to optimize circuit and wiring space, thereby facilitating the realization of a narrow-border display panel while ensuring circuit functionality.
[0115] Figure 5 is a partial plan view of the first border region of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 provides an overall diagram of the multiplexed data lines in the first fan-out region B11, the bend lines in the bend region B12, and the multiple data fan-out lines in the second fan-out region B13. This embodiment does not limit the number of various types of routing lines.
[0116] In some examples, as shown in Figures 1 and 5, the second border area B2 may be provided with a plurality of gate drive circuits, and the plurality of gate drive circuits may include: a first group of gate drive circuits 25 (for example, including a light-emitting drive circuit 251, a first reset drive circuit 252, and a second reset drive circuit 253) and a second group of gate drive circuits 26 (for example, including a first scan drive circuit 261 and a second scan drive circuit 262). The second border area B2 may include: a first corner area and a second corner area, and the first corner area and the second corner area may be located on both sides of the first fan-out area B11 along the first direction X and connected to the first fan-out area B11.

The multiple gate driving circuits within the first group of gate driving circuits 25 can be arranged in sequence along a direction away from the display area AA, and the multiple driving units of each gate driving circuit can be arranged in sequence along the edge shape of the display area AA; the multiple gate driving circuits within the second group of gate driving circuits 26 can be arranged in sequence along a direction away from the display area AA, and the multiple driving units of each gate driving circuit can be arranged in sequence along the edge shape of the display area AA.
[0117] In some examples, as shown in Figure 5, the border area BB may be provided with a plurality of multiplexing circuits arranged adjacent to the display area AA. The plurality of multiplexing circuits may include: a first group of multiplexing circuits 31a located in the first fan-out area B11, and a plurality of second groups of multiplexing circuits 31b located in the first corner area and the second corner area of the second border area B2. The first group of multiplexing circuits 31a may include a plurality of multiplexing circuits arranged along the first direction X, and the second group of multiplexing circuits 31b may include at least one multiplexing circuit or may include a plurality of multiplexing circuits arranged along the first direction X. The number of multiplexing circuits within the first group of multiplexing circuits 31a may be greater than the number of multiplexing circuits within a single second group of multiplexing circuits 31b.
[0118] In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , multiple second multiplexing circuits 31 b can be arranged in a stair-like manner along the edge of the display area AA. Each multiplexing circuit can include multiple multiplexing control transistors, and the multiple multiplexing control transistors within the multiple multiplexing circuits can be arranged in the same manner. For example, the multiple multiplexing control transistors within each multiplexing circuit can be arranged sequentially along the first direction X. In this example, the multiplexing control transistors within the first multiplexing circuit 31 a and the second multiplexing circuit 31 b are arranged in the same manner, which can facilitate routing and ensure consistency in parasitic capacitance between signals.
[0119] FIG6 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a multiplexing circuit of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG6 is a diagram illustrating a multiplexing circuit 311 as an example. In some examples, as shown in FIG6 , a multiplexing circuit 311 can be electrically connected to nine multiplexing control lines, a multiplexing data line 411, and multiple data lines (e.g., the first data line DL1 to the ninth data line DL9). The multiplexing circuit 311 of this example can transmit the data signal provided by a multiplexing data line 411 to nine data lines. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, a multiplexing circuit can transmit the data signal provided by a multiplexing data line to three or six data lines.
[0120] In some examples, the first multiplexing control line 422a is configured to transmit a first multiplexing control signal, the second multiplexing control line 422b is configured to transmit a second multiplexing control signal, the third multiplexing control line 422c is configured to transmit a third multiplexing control signal, the fourth multiplexing control line 422d is configured to transmit a fourth multiplexing control signal, the fifth multiplexing control line 422e is configured to transmit a fifth multiplexing control signal, the sixth multiplexing control line 422f is configured to transmit a sixth multiplexing control signal, the seventh multiplexing control line 422g is configured to transmit a seventh multiplexing control signal, the eighth multiplexing control line 422h is configured to transmit an eighth multiplexing control signal, and the ninth multiplexing control line 422i is configured to transmit a ninth multiplexing control signal.
[0121] In some examples, the multiplexing circuit 311 may include nine multiplexing control transistors (i.e., a first multiplexing control transistor M1 to a ninth multiplexing control transistor M9). The gates of the nine multiplexing control transistors may be connected to different multiplexing control lines, i.e., the gate of the first multiplexing control transistor M1 is connected to the first multiplexing control line 422a, the gate of the second multiplexing control transistor M2 is connected to the second multiplexing control line 422b, the gate of the third multiplexing control transistor M3 is connected to the third multiplexing control line 422c, the gate of the fourth multiplexing control transistor M4 is connected to the fourth multiplexing control line 422d, the gate of the fifth multiplexing control transistor M5 is connected to the fifth multiplexing control line 422e, the gate of the sixth multiplexing control transistor M6 is connected to the sixth multiplexing control line 422f, the gate of the seventh multiplexing control transistor M7 is connected to the seventh multiplexing control line 422g, the gate of the eighth multiplexing control transistor M8 is connected to the eighth multiplexing control line 422h, and the gate of the ninth multiplexing control transistor M9 is connected to the ninth multiplexing control line 422i.
[0122] In some examples, the first electrodes of the nine multiplexing control transistors can all be connected to the same multiplexing data line 411. The second electrodes of the nine multiplexing transistors are respectively connected to different data lines of the display area. For example, the second electrode of the first multiplexing control transistor M1 is connected to the first data line DL1, the second electrode of the second multiplexing control transistor M2 is connected to the second data line DL2, the second electrode of the third multiplexing control transistor M3 is connected to the third data line DL3, the second electrode of the fourth multiplexing control transistor M4 is connected to the fourth data line DL4, the second electrode of the fifth multiplexing control transistor M5 is connected to the fifth data line DL5, the second electrode of the sixth multiplexing control transistor M6 is connected to the sixth data line DL6, the second electrode of the seventh multiplexing control transistor M7 is connected to the seventh data line DL7, the second electrode of the eighth multiplexing control transistor M8 is connected to the eighth data line DL8, and the second electrode of the ninth multiplexing control transistor M9 is connected to the ninth data line DL9. Each data line can be connected to at least one column of pixel circuits PX.
[0123] Figure 7A is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of region SS1 in Figure 5 . Figure 7B is a schematic diagram of the multiplexing circuit after the second gate metal layer is formed in Figure 7A . Figures 7A and 7B primarily illustrate the locations of some of the multiplexing control transistors within the two second groups of multiplexing circuits, briefly illustrate the structure of the pixel circuit PX, and omit the traces extending along the first direction X to which the pixel circuit PX is connected.
[0124] In some examples, as shown in Figures 5, 7A, and 7B, one second multiplexing circuit 31b may correspond to a row of pixel circuits PX. The multiple multiplexing circuits within the second multiplexing circuit 31b may be arranged sequentially along the first direction X, and the multiplexing control transistors within each multiplexing circuit may be arranged sequentially along the first direction X.
[0125] The following describes the film layer structure of the multiplexing control transistor using the multiplexing control transistor M1 as an example. The multiplexing control transistor M1 may include: an active layer M10, a gate electrode M13, a first electrode M11, and a second electrode M12. The active layer M10 of the multiplexing control transistor M1 may be located in the first semiconductor layer, and its orthographic projection on the substrate may be rectangular. The gate electrode M11 of the multiplexing control transistor M1 may be located in the first gate metal layer, for example, and may extend at least along the second direction Y. The orthographic projection of the gate electrode M11 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the active layer M10 on the substrate. For example, the orthographic projection of the gate electrode M11 on the substrate may pass through the midline of the active layer M10 along the first direction X. The first electrode M11 may be connected to the first region of the active layer M10, and the second electrode M12 may be connected to the second region of the active layer M10. The first electrode M11 and the second electrode M12 may be located on either side of the gate electrode M13 in the first direction X. The first electrode M11 and the second electrode M12 may be located in the first source / drain metal layer. The first electrode M11 may be connected to the data line DL located in the second source / drain metal layer.
[0126] In some examples, the active layers of multiple multiplexing control transistors within each group of multiplexing circuits can be aligned along the first direction X. The first electrodes of the nine multiplexing control transistors of a multiplexing circuit can be an integrated structure that is interconnected and can be located on the side of the multiple multiplexing control lines close to the display area AA. The integrated structure of the first electrodes of the nine multiplexing control transistors of the multiplexing circuit can be connected to the multiplexed data line 411. The multiplexed data line 411 can be located, for example, in the second gate metal layer, or can be located in the first gate metal layer. For example, a plurality of multiplexed data lines can be alternately arranged in the first gate metal layer and the second gate metal layer, and the orthographic projections of the plurality of multiplexed data lines on the substrate may not overlap. The setting method of this example can save the gap between adjacent multiplexed data lines, which is conducive to optimizing the arrangement space of the multiplexed data lines.
[0127] In some examples, the multiplexing control lines can be located on a side of the multiplexing circuit away from the display area AA. The multiplexing control lines (e.g., including the first multiplexing control line 422a to the ninth multiplexing control line 422i) can be arranged sequentially along a direction away from the display area AA. For example, the multiplexing control lines can be located in the first source-drain metal layer. The gate electrodes of the nine multiplexing control transistors of the multiplexing circuit can be connected to the corresponding multiplexing control lines.
[0128] The arrangement of the multiplexing control transistors in the first multiplexing circuit is similar to the arrangement of the multiplexing control transistors in the second multiplexing circuit, and therefore will not be described in detail here.
[0129] The multiplexing circuit of this example is arranged in a staircase pattern next to the display area. This prevents the data line connected to the second electrode of the multiplexing control transistor from overlapping with the remaining signal lines. This reduces the risk of interference from the remaining signal lines due to parasitic capacitance on the data line, and ensures the consistency of the parasitic capacitance between the multiplexed data lines and multiplexed control lines connected to the multiple multiplexing control transistors and the remaining alternating signals. Furthermore, the multiple multiplexing control transistors of the multiplexing circuit of this example utilize a unified layout design, ensuring the consistency of parasitic capacitance between the signals and improving the display effect.
[0130] In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , the first fan-out region B11 is further provided with a first peripheral power line 43 and second peripheral power lines 44 a and 44 b. The first peripheral power line 43 can be located on a side of the first group of multiplexing circuits 31 a away from the display area AA. Within the first fan-out region B11, the second peripheral power lines 44 a and 44 b can be located on either side of the first peripheral power line 43 along the first direction X. For example, the first peripheral power line 43 and the second peripheral power lines 44 a and 44 b can be located on the first source / drain metal layer.
[0131] In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , the first peripheral power line 43 may include a peripheral main portion 430 , a first peripheral extension portion 431 , and a second peripheral extension portion 432 . The peripheral main portion 430 may extend generally along the first direction X. A first end of the peripheral main portion 430 may be connected to the first peripheral extension portion 431 , and a second end may extend from the second peripheral extension portion 432 . The first peripheral extension portion 431 may extend toward the left side of the second border area B2 , and the second peripheral extension portion 432 may extend toward the right side of the second border area B2 .
[0132] In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , the first peripheral power line 43 may further include four first peripheral connection portions connected to the peripheral body portion 430 . The four first peripheral connection portions may be located on a side of the peripheral body portion 430 near the bending region B12 . The four first peripheral connection portions may be connected in a one-to-one correspondence with the four groups of first power bending lines in the bending region B12 .
[0133] In some examples, as shown in Figure 5, the second peripheral power line 44a can extend toward the left border area of the second border area B2 and be located on the side of the first group of gate drive circuits 25 away from the display area AA; the second peripheral power line 44b can extend toward the right border area of the second border area B2 and be located on the side of the second group of gate drive circuits 26 away from the display area AA.
[0134] In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , the first fan-out area B11 may also be provided with a plurality of multiplexed data lines. The plurality of multiplexed data lines may include: a first group of multiplexed data lines 41a and a second group of multiplexed data lines 41b. The first group of multiplexed data lines 41a may be connected to the multiplexing circuit within the first corner area of the second border area B2 and part of the multiplexing circuit within the first fan-out area B11; the second group of multiplexed data lines 41b may be connected to the multiplexing circuit within the second corner area of the second border area B2 and another part of the multiplexing circuit within the first fan-out area B11. The first group of multiplexed data lines 41a may be located on the side of the second peripheral power line 44a close to the first peripheral power line 43, and the second group of multiplexed data lines 44b may be located on the side of the second peripheral power line 44b close to the first peripheral power line 43.
[0135] In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , the first fan-out area B11 may further be provided with a plurality of peripheral control lines. The plurality of peripheral control lines may include a first group of peripheral control lines 42 a and a second group of peripheral control lines 42 b. The first group of peripheral control lines 42 a and the second group of peripheral control lines 42 b may be adjacent to each other in the first fan-out area B11 near the bend area B12. The first group of peripheral control lines 42 a may extend toward a first corner area of the second border area B2, and the second group of peripheral control lines 42 b may extend toward a second corner area of the second border area B2.
[0136] In some examples, the plurality of peripheral control lines may include: a plurality of drive control lines (e.g., including a start signal line, a clock signal line, a voltage line, etc. connected to a gate drive circuit) and a plurality of multiplexing control lines. The plurality of drive control lines within the first group of peripheral control lines 42a may be connected to the first group of gate drive circuits 25, and the plurality of multiplexing control lines within the first group of peripheral control lines 42a may be connected to the multiplexing circuit within the first corner region and a portion of the multiplexing circuit within the first fan-out region B11. The plurality of drive control lines within the second group of peripheral control lines 42b may be connected to the second group of gate drive circuits 26, and the plurality of multiplexing control lines within the second group of peripheral control lines 42b may be connected to the multiplexing circuit within the second corner region and another portion of the multiplexing circuit within the first fan-out region B11. For example, the orthographic projections of the first group of peripheral control lines 42a and the first group of multiplexing data lines 41a on the substrate may overlap. The orthographic projections of the second group of peripheral control lines 42b and the second group of multiplexing data lines 41b on the substrate may overlap. The multiplexed control lines in each group of peripheral control lines may be located on a side of the multiple drive control lines close to the display area AA, which may be beneficial for optimizing routing paths and reducing routing overlaps.
[0137] FIG8A is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of area SS2 in FIG5 . FIG8B is a schematic diagram of the first peripheral power line in FIG8A . In some examples, as shown in FIG8A and FIG8B , the first fan-out area B11 is further provided with a plurality of peripheral touch traces, and the plurality of peripheral touch traces may include a first group of peripheral touch traces 45a and a second group of peripheral touch traces 45b. The orthographic projections of the plurality of peripheral touch traces on the substrate may overlap with the orthographic projections of the first peripheral power line 43 on the substrate. The plurality of peripheral touch traces may be located on the side of the first peripheral power line 43 away from the substrate. The plurality of peripheral touch traces may be located in a touch structure layer, for example, in the first touch conductive layer or the second touch conductive layer, or may be arranged alternately in the first touch conductive layer and the second touch conductive layer.
[0138] In some examples, as shown in Figures 8A and 8B , the peripheral body 430 of the first peripheral power line 43 includes a first portion 430-1 and a second portion 430-2 interconnected along the second direction Y. The second portion 430-2 can be located on a side of the first portion 430-1 away from the display area AA, and the first portion 430-1 can be connected to the first peripheral extension 431 and the second peripheral extension 432. The length of the second portion 430-2 along the first direction X can be greater than the length of the first portion 430-1 along the first direction X, thereby increasing the overlap area between the peripheral body 430 of the first peripheral power line 43 and the multiple peripheral touch traces. In this example, by positioning the first peripheral power line 43 at the periphery of the multiplexing circuit away from the display area AA and overlapping the first peripheral power line 43 with the multiple peripheral touch traces in the first fan-out area, the peripheral touch traces in the first fan-out area B11 can be shielded from interference from the signal traces of the display structure layer, thereby preventing mutual interference between the peripheral traces of the display structure layer and the touch structure layer.
[0139] Figure 9A is another partially enlarged schematic diagram of region SS2 in Figure 5. Figure 9B is a schematic diagram of the first gate metal layer, the second gate metal layer, and the first source and drain metal layer in Figure 9A. Figure 9C is a schematic diagram of the second gate metal layer in Figure 9A.
[0140] Figure 9D is a schematic diagram of the first gate metal layer in Figure 9 A. Figure 9A takes the partially overlapping area of the first peripheral power line 43 and the plurality of peripheral control lines as an example.
[0141] In some examples, as shown in Figures 9A to 9D , at least one peripheral control line 42 among the plurality of peripheral control lines (e.g., a clock signal line connected to a gate drive circuit) may include a first peripheral line segment 421 and a second peripheral line segment 422 that are connected to each other. The first peripheral line segment 421 may be located on a side of the first peripheral power line 43 that is close to the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the first peripheral line segment 421 on the substrate may partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first peripheral power line 43 on the substrate, while the orthographic projection of the second peripheral line segment 422 on the substrate may not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first peripheral power line 43 on the substrate.
[0142] In some examples, as shown in Figures 9A to 9D , the first peripheral line segment 421 may include a first trace 4211 and a second trace 4212 located in different conductive layers. For example, the first trace 4211 may be located in the first gate metal layer, and the second trace 4212 may be located in the second gate metal layer. The orthographic projection of the first trace 4211 on the substrate may overlap the orthographic projection of the second trace 4212 on the substrate. The first trace 4211 and the second trace 4212 may be connected to the control bending line 520 of the bending region B12 via the first connecting electrode 521. The first trace 4211 and the second trace 4212 may also be connected to the second peripheral line segment 422. Alternatively, the first trace 4211 and the second trace 4212 may be connected to the second peripheral line segment 422 via the second connecting electrode 522.
[0143] In some examples, the first connection trace 521 and the second connection electrode 522 may be located in the first source / drain metal layer, the second peripheral line segment 422 may be located in the second source / drain metal layer, and the control bending line 520 may be located in the second source / drain metal layer.
[0144] In this example, the peripheral control line can be arranged in the first gate metal layer and the second gate metal layer in the overlapping area with the first peripheral power line, which can reduce interference with the peripheral touch wiring.
[0145] In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , the bending region B12 may include multiple bending lines. The multiple bending lines may include: four groups of first power bending lines 53a, 53b, 53c, and 53d, two groups of second power bending lines 54a and 54b, a first group of data bending lines 51a, a second group of data bending lines 51b, a group of control bending lines 52, a first group of touch bending lines 55a, a second group of touch bending lines 55b, a first group of detection bending lines 56a, and a second group of detection bending lines 56b.

The multiple bending lines in the bending area B12 can be arranged in the same layer, for example, in the second source and drain metal layer.
[0146] In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , the second fan-out area B13 may be provided with at least a first power fan-out line 63, second power fan-out lines 64a and 64b, multiple data fan-out lines (for example, including a first group of data fan-out lines 61a and a second group of data fan-out lines 61b), and multiple control signal lines (for example, including a first group of control signal lines 62a and a second group of control signal lines 62b).

When a transient low voltage (e.g., -100V) appears in the signal line due to accumulated negative charge, the other "diode" conducts, releasing the negative charge in the signal line.
