AI Technical Summary
Flexible display products may experience reliability corrosion on the lower bezel in the bending area, leading to display problems.
In the bending area of the display substrate, a first peripheral control line with a lower transmission potential is placed on the side away from the boundary of the display substrate, and a second peripheral control line with a higher transmission potential is placed on the side closer to the boundary, thereby increasing the distance between the first peripheral control line and the boundary of the display substrate to avoid reliability corrosion.
This wiring method reduces the risk of reliability corrosion of the first peripheral control line, ensuring the stability and reliability of the display substrate.

[0040] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments can be implemented in various forms. It is readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiments and features thereof can be changed or replaced without departing from the gist of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the following embodiments. The embodiments of the present disclosure and the features thereof can be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.
[0042] In the drawings, the size, the thickness, or the region of one or a plurality of constituent elements, a layer, or the region is sometimes exaggerated for the purpose of clarity. Therefore, one embodiment of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to such a size, and the shape, the size, and the like of one or a plurality of components in the drawings do not reflect the actual ratio. Furthermore, the drawings schematically show ideal examples, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shape or the numerical value shown in the drawings.
[0043] The ordinal numbers "first", "second", "third", and the like in the present specification are used to avoid confusion among constituent elements and are not used to limit the number in the order. "A plurality of" in the present disclosure indicates two or more.
[0044] In this specification, terms of "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like indicating the positional or locational relationship are used to describe the positional relationship of the components with reference to the drawings for the convenience of explanation of the specification and simplification of the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the components is changed as appropriate according to the direction of the components described. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the specification, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.
[0045] In this specification, unless explicitly stated and limited otherwise, the terms "mount", "connected", "connected" should be broadly understood. For example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate, or communication between two elements inside. For those skilled in the art, the meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the situation. Among them, "connected" can include "electrically connected", "electrically connected" can include the case where the components are connected together through elements having certain electrical effects. "Elements having certain electrical effects" are not particularly limited as long as they can transmit electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "elements having certain electrical effects" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, other elements with multiple functions, and the like.
[0046] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element including at least a gate (gate electrode), a drain, and a source. The 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, the channel region, and the source. In this specification, the channel region refers to a region where current mainly flows.
[0047] 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. In addition, the gate can also be referred to as a control electrode. In the case of using a transistor with opposite polarity or in the case of changing the direction of current in the circuit operation, the functions of "source" and "drain" are sometimes exchanged with each other. Therefore, in this specification, "source" and "drain" can be exchanged with each other.
[0048] In the present specification, "parallel" refers to a state in which two straight lines form an angle of -10° or more and 10° or less, and thus also includes a state in which the angle is -5° or more and 5° or less. In addition, "perpendicular" refers to a state in which two straight lines form an angle of 80° or more and 100° or less, and thus also includes a state in which the angle is 85° or more and 95° or less.
[0049] In the present specification, a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon, etc. are not strictly so, and can be an approximate circle, an approximate ellipse, an approximate triangle, an approximate rectangle, an approximate trapezoid, an approximate pentagon, or an approximate hexagon, etc. There can be some small deformations due to tolerances, such as a fillet, an arc edge, and a deformation, etc.
[0050] In the present specification, "about", "approximately", etc. refer to not strictly limited boundaries, and allow for a range of process and measurement errors. In the present disclosure, "the same" includes a case in which the values differ by 10% or less, such as a case in which the values differ by 5% or less.
[0051] In the present specification, A extending along a direction of B means that A can include a main portion and a secondary portion connected to the main portion, the main portion is a line, a line segment, or a bar-shaped body, the main portion extends along the direction of B, and the length of the main portion extending along the direction of B is greater than the length of the secondary portion extending along other directions. In the present specification, "A extending along the direction of B" means "the main portion of A extending along the direction of B".
[0052] In the present specification, "A and B are in the same layer structure" means that A and B are formed at the same time by one patterning process. "The same layer" does not always mean that the thickness or height of the layer is the same in the cross-sectional view. "The orthographic projection of A contains the orthographic projection of B" means that the orthographic projection of B falls within the orthographic projection of A, or the orthographic projection of A covers the orthographic projection of B.
[0053] With the development of display technology, flexible display products are getting more and more attention. The lower frame of the display substrate of the flexible display product will be bent and narrowed in the bending area, and the edge wire of the bending area of the lower frame has a reliability corrosion problem, which is easy to cause display problems of the display product.
[0054] The embodiment provides a display substrate, comprising a display area and a frame area located around the display area, the frame area comprising a first frame area and a second frame area which are in communication with each other, and the first frame area at least comprising a bending area located on one side of the display area along a first direction. The display substrate comprises a substrate, a plurality of sub-pixels, a plurality of gate driving circuits, at least one first peripheral control line and a plurality of second peripheral control lines. The plurality of sub-pixels are arranged on one side of the substrate and located in the display area. The plurality of gate driving circuits are located in the second frame area and electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels, and are configured to provide a plurality of pixel control signals to the plurality of sub-pixels. The at least one first peripheral control line is located in the first frame area and connected to the plurality of gate driving circuits. The plurality of second peripheral control lines are located in the first frame area, and a part of the plurality of second peripheral control lines are connected to the plurality of gate driving circuits. The potential of the signal transmitted by each first peripheral control line is lower than the potential of the signal transmitted by each second peripheral control line. In the bending area, at least one second peripheral control line of the plurality of second peripheral control lines is located between the at least one first peripheral control line and the boundary of the display substrate. In other words, the at least one second peripheral control line is located on the side of the at least one first peripheral control line close to the boundary of the display substrate. The at least one first peripheral control line is not the wire closest to the boundary of the display substrate.
[0055] The display substrate provided by the embodiment can increase the distance between the first peripheral control line and the boundary of the display substrate by arranging the first peripheral control line with a lower transmission potential on the side of the at least one second peripheral control line with a higher transmission potential away from the boundary of the display substrate, thereby facilitating avoiding the reliability corrosion of the first peripheral control line.
[0056] In some example embodiments, the display substrate can further comprise a plurality of peripheral data lines located in the first frame area, the plurality of peripheral data lines being electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels and configured to provide data signals to the plurality of sub-pixels. In a second direction, the plurality of second peripheral control lines and the at least one first peripheral control line are located between the plurality of peripheral data lines and the boundary of the display substrate. The second direction intersects the first direction, for example, the second direction can be perpendicular to the first direction. In some examples, the plurality of second peripheral control lines can be located on both sides of the plurality of peripheral data lines in the second direction, and the at least one first peripheral control line can be located on the side of the plurality of peripheral data lines close to the at least one second peripheral control line. The embodiment is not limited in this regard.
[0057] In some example embodiments, the at least one first perimeter control line can be configured to transmit a constant voltage signal, and the constant voltage signal can have a potential less than or equal to -6V. In some examples, the signal transmitted by the at least one first perimeter control line can have a potential less than or equal to -6V and greater than or equal to -12V. For example, the signal transmitted by the first perimeter control line can have a potential ranging from -7V to -8V. The first perimeter control line of the present example can be the wire transmitting the lowest potential in the first bezel area. The present example can prevent the first perimeter control line from being susceptible to corrosion by arranging the first perimeter control line transmitting the lowest potential away from the boundary of the display substrate.
[0058] In some example embodiments, the first bezel area can further include a first signal access area located on a side of the bending area away from the display area. The display substrate can further include a plurality of first contact pads located in the first signal access area and arranged along a second direction. The plurality of first contact pads can include at least one first control contact pad connected to the at least one first perimeter control line and a plurality of second control contact pads connected to the plurality of second perimeter control lines. In the second direction, at least one second control contact pad of the plurality of second control contact pads can be located between the at least one first control contact pad and the boundary of the display substrate. In other words, in the second direction, at least one second control contact pad can be located between at least one first control contact pad close to the boundary of the display substrate. In some examples, the at least one first perimeter control line can be located between a first second perimeter control line and a second second perimeter control line; in the second direction, the at least one first control contact pad can be located between a second control contact pad connected to the first second perimeter control line and a second control contact pad connected to the second second perimeter control line. In other examples, the at least one first perimeter control line can be located between a first second perimeter control line and a second second perimeter control line; the first second perimeter control line is located on a side of the at least one first perimeter control line close to the boundary of the display substrate; in the second direction, the at least one first control contact pad can be located on a side of a second control contact pad connected to the second second perimeter control line away from the boundary of the display substrate. The present example can ensure signal transmission of the first perimeter control line and reasonable arrangement in the first bezel area by arranging the first control contact pad connected to the first perimeter control line away from the boundary of the display substrate.
[0059] In some example embodiments, the first bezel area can further include a first sub-area located at a side of the bending area close to the display area, the first sub-area being in communication with the second bezel area. The display substrate can further include a plurality of electrostatic discharge circuits located at the first sub-area, the plurality of electrostatic discharge circuits being arranged adjacent to the plurality of gate driving circuits. The plurality of electrostatic discharge circuits can be arranged in a plurality of rows along a first direction, each row of electrostatic discharge circuits including a plurality of electrostatic discharge circuits arranged along a second direction. The at least one first peripheral signal line can be located between two adjacent rows of electrostatic discharge circuits. The present example can reduce the length of the first peripheral signal line by arranging the first peripheral signal line between two adjacent rows of electrostatic discharge circuits, which is conducive to reducing the signal loading of the first peripheral signal line.
[0060] The scheme of the present embodiments is illustrated below by way of some examples.
[0061] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. In some examples, as shown in FIG. 1, the display substrate can include a display area AA and a bezel area BB located around the display area AA. The bezel area BB can include a first bezel area B1 located at one side of the display area AA and a second bezel area B2 located at the remaining sides of the display area AA. For example, the first bezel area B1 can be located at one side of the display area AA along a first direction D1. The first bezel area B1 and the second bezel area B2 can be in communication. For example, the first bezel area B1 can be a lower bezel area of the display substrate, and the second bezel area B2 can include a left bezel area B21, a right bezel area B22, and an upper bezel area B23 of the display substrate.
[0062] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 1, the display area AA can be a flat area including a plurality of sub-pixels PX constituting a pixel array. The plurality of sub-pixels PX can be configured to display dynamic pictures or static images. The display area AA can be referred to as an active area. In some examples, the display area AA can be rectangular, for example, a rounded rectangular. However, the present embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the display area can be circular, elliptical, or other shapes. In some examples, the display substrate can be a flexible substrate, and thus the display substrate can be deformable, for example, rolled, bent, folded, or rolled up.
[0063] In some examples, the display region AA can include a display structure layer disposed on the substrate, or can include a display structure layer and a touch structure layer disposed on the substrate in sequence. For example, the display substrate can integrate the touch structure, forming a Touch on Thin Film Encapsulation (Touch on TFE) structure. 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 adopts two layers of metal to form a driving (Tx) electrode and a sensing (Rx) electrode, and a driving chip (IC) realizes touch action by detecting 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 adopts a single layer of metal to form a touch electrode, and an integrated circuit realizes touch action by detecting the self-capacitance (or voltage) of the touch electrode.
[0064] In some examples, the display structure layer can include a plurality of sub-pixels PX, a plurality of gate lines GL and a plurality of data lines DL. The plurality of gate lines GL can extend along the second direction D2 and be arranged along the first direction D1, and the plurality of data lines DL can extend along the first direction D1 and be arranged along the second direction D2. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 can intersect, for example, the first direction D1 can be perpendicular to the second direction D2. The orthogonal projection of the plurality of gate lines GL and the plurality of data lines DL on the substrate can intersect to form a plurality of sub-pixel regions. One sub-pixel PX can be disposed in one sub-pixel region. The plurality of data lines DL can be electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels PX, and the plurality of data lines DL can be configured to provide a data signal to the plurality of sub-pixels PX. The plurality of gate lines GL can be electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels PX, and the plurality of gate lines GL can be configured to provide a pixel control signal to the plurality of sub-pixels PX. For example, the pixel control signal can include a scan signal, or can include a scan signal and a light-emitting control signal, or can include a scan signal, a reset control signal and a light-emitting control signal.
[0065] In some examples, one pixel unit of the display area AA can include three sub-pixels, which can be a first sub-pixel emitting a first color light (e.g., red light), a second sub-pixel emitting a second color light (e.g., green light), and a third sub-pixel emitting a third color light (e.g., blue light), respectively. However, the present embodiments are not limited thereto. In some examples, one pixel unit can include four sub-pixels, which can be a sub-pixel emitting red light, a sub-pixel emitting green light, a sub-pixel emitting blue light, and a sub-pixel emitting white light, respectively. For another example, one pixel unit can include four sub-pixels, which can include a sub-pixel emitting red light, a sub-pixel emitting blue light, and two sub-pixels emitting green light.
[0066] In some examples, one sub-pixel PX can include a pixel circuit and a light emitting element electrically connected to the pixel circuit. The pixel circuit can include a plurality of transistors and at least one capacitor. For example, the pixel circuit can be a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C, or 8T1C structure. Wherein, T in the above circuit structure 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 plurality of transistors in the pixel circuit can include P-type transistors and N-type transistors. In other examples, the plurality of transistors in the pixel circuit can be P-type transistors or can be N-type transistors, and the use of the same type of transistors in the pixel circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the process difficulty of the display substrate, and improve the yield of the product.
[0067] In some examples, the shape of the light emitting element of the sub-pixel can be rectangular, rhombic, pentagonal, or hexagonal. When one pixel unit includes three sub-pixels, the light emitting elements of the three sub-pixels can be arranged in a horizontal parallel, vertical parallel, or triangular manner; when one pixel unit includes four sub-pixels, the light emitting elements of the four sub-pixels can be arranged in a horizontal parallel, vertical parallel, or square manner. However, the present embodiments are not limited thereto.
[0068] In some examples, the light emitting element can be any one of a light emitting diode (LED), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED), a micro-LED (including: mini-LED or micro-LED), etc. For example, the light emitting element can be an OLED, which can emit red light, green light, blue light, white light, etc. under the driving of the corresponding pixel circuit. The color of the light emitted by the light emitting element can be determined as needed. In some examples, the light emitting element can include an anode, a cathode, and an organic light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode. The anode of the light emitting element can be electrically connected to the corresponding pixel circuit. However, the present embodiments are not limited thereto.
[0069] FIG. 2 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel circuit according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. The pixel circuit of the present example is described by way of example of an 8T1C structure. In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, the pixel circuit of the present example can include eight pixel transistors (i.e., first pixel transistor T1 to eighth pixel transistor T8) and one storage capacitor Cst. The first pixel transistor T1 can also be referred to as a first reset transistor, the second pixel transistor T2 can also be referred to as a compensation transistor, the third pixel transistor T3 can also be referred to as a drive transistor, the fourth pixel transistor T4 can also be referred to as a data write transistor, the fifth pixel transistor T5 can also be referred to as a first light emitting control transistor, the sixth pixel transistor T6 can also be referred to as a second light emitting control transistor, the seventh pixel transistor T7 can also be referred to as a second reset transistor, and the eighth pixel transistor T8 can also be referred to as a third reset transistor. The light emitting element EL can include an anode, a cathode, and an organic light emitting layer disposed between the anode and the cathode.
[0070] In some examples, the first pixel transistor T1, the third pixel transistor T3 to the eighth pixel transistor T8 can be a first type of transistor, for example, can be a P-type transistor, and the second pixel transistor T2 can be a second type of transistor, for example, can be an N-type transistor. However, the present embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the plurality of pixel transistors of the pixel circuit can all be P-type transistors, or can all be N-type transistors.
[0071] In some examples, the first type of transistors of the pixel circuit (e.g., including the first pixel transistor T1, the third pixel transistor T3 to the eighth pixel transistor T8) can employ low temperature poly-silicon thin film transistors, and the second type of transistors of the pixel circuit (e.g., including the second pixel transistor T2) can employ oxide thin film transistors. The active layer of the low temperature poly-silicon thin film transistor employs low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS), and the active layer of the oxide thin film transistor employs oxide semiconductor (Oxide). The low temperature poly-silicon thin film transistor has the advantages of high mobility and fast charging, and the oxide thin film transistor has the advantage of low leakage current. Integrating the low temperature poly-silicon thin film transistor and the oxide thin film transistor on one display substrate forms a low temperature poly-oxide (LTPS+Oxide) display substrate, which can take advantage of both and can achieve low frequency driving, reduce power consumption, and improve display quality.

[0076] In some examples, the working process of the pixel circuit in a frame display period can at least include: a first stage, a second stage, a third stage and a fourth stage.
[0077] 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, so that the seventh pixel transistor T7 and the eighth pixel transistor T8 are turned on; the second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, so that the second pixel transistor T2 is turned on.

The light emitting element EL does not emit light in this stage.
[0078] The second stage is called the second reset stage. The first reset control signal RESET1 provided by the first reset control line RST1 is a low-level signal, and the first pixel transistor T1 is turned on; the second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a high-level signal, and the second pixel transistor T2 is turned on. The first pixel transistor T1 and the second pixel transistor T2 are turned on, so that the first initial signal provided by the first initial signal line INIT1 is provided to the first node N1, and the first node N1 is initialized. 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, so that the seventh pixel transistor T7, the eighth pixel transistor T8, the fourth pixel transistor T4, the fifth pixel transistor T5 and the sixth pixel transistor T6 are disconnected. The light emitting element EL does not emit light in this stage.
[0079] In the third stage, referred to as a data writing stage or threshold compensation stage, the first scan signal SCAN1 provided by the first scan line GL1 is a low level signal, and the fourth pixel 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 pixel transistor T2 is turned on. In this stage, the first electrode of the storage capacitor Cst is at a low level, and the third pixel transistor T3 is turned on. The second pixel transistor T2, the fourth pixel transistor T4 and the third pixel 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 pixel transistor T3, the third node N3 and the turned-on second pixel transistor T2, and the difference between the data voltage Vdata output by the data line DL and the threshold voltage of the third pixel transistor T3 is charged to the storage capacitor Cst, so that the voltage of the first electrode (i.e. the first node N1) of the storage capacitor Cst is Vdata-|Vth|, wherein Vdata is the data voltage output by the data line DL, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third pixel 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 emission control signal EM provided by the emission control line EML is a high level signal, so that the first pixel transistor T1, the seventh pixel transistor T7, the eighth pixel transistor T8, the fifth pixel transistor T5 and the sixth pixel transistor T6 are turned off.
[0080] 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, so that the fifth pixel transistor T5 and the sixth pixel transistor T6 are turned on. The second scan signal SCAN2 provided by the second scan line GL2 is a low level signal, so that the second pixel transistor T2 is turned off. 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, so that the fourth pixel transistor T4, the first pixel transistor T1, the seventh pixel transistor T7 and the eighth pixel transistor T8 are turned off. 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 pixel transistor T5, the third pixel transistor T3 and the sixth pixel transistor T6, so as to drive the light emitting element EL to emit light.
[0081] In the driving process of the pixel circuit, the driving current flowing through the third pixel transistor T3 is determined by the voltage difference between the gate and the first electrode thereof. Since the voltage of the first node N1 is Vdata-|Vth|, the driving current of the third pixel transistor T3 is: I=K×(Vgs-Vth) 2= K x [(VDD - Vdata + |Vth|) - Vth] 2 = K x [VDD - Vdata] 2 ;
[0082] wherein I is the driving current flowing through the third pixel transistor T3, that is, the driving current of the light emitting element, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate and the first electrode of the third pixel transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third pixel 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.
[0083] It can be seen from the above formula that the current flowing through the light emitting element is irrelevant to the threshold voltage of the third pixel transistor T3. Therefore, the pixel circuit of the present embodiment can compensate for the threshold voltage of the third pixel transistor T3. Moreover, the pixel circuit provided by the present embodiment can improve the display effect of the light emitting element and improve the display effect of the light emitting element.

In some examples, the first sub-region B01 can be provided with a plurality of electrostatic discharge circuits. The plurality of electrostatic discharge circuits can be adjacent to the plurality of gate driving circuits in the second bezel region B2. For example, the first sub-region B01 can include a first corner region in communication with the left bezel region B21 and a second corner region in communication with the right bezel region B22. The plurality of electrostatic discharge circuits can be located in the first corner region and the second corner region. FIG. 11 illustrates an example of the arrangement of the plurality of electrostatic discharge circuits in the first corner region.
