The cross-hatched square holes in the accompanying figures represent connection holes between the second source / drain metal layer and the other underlying film layers.

[0108] Exemplarily, the display substrate includes a plurality of sub-pixels, and the plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits included in the plurality of sub-pixels are distributed in an array. The plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits are divided into a plurality of rows of sub-pixel driving circuits and a plurality of columns of sub-pixel driving circuits. The plurality of rows of sub-pixel driving circuits are arranged along a second direction, and each row of sub-pixel driving circuits includes a plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits arranged along a first direction. The plurality of columns of sub-pixel driving circuits are arranged along a first direction, and each column of sub-pixel driving circuits includes a plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits arranged along a second direction. Exemplarily, the first direction and the second direction intersect. For example, the first direction includes a transverse direction, and the second direction includes a longitudinal direction.

[0109] Exemplarily, the sub-pixel includes a sub-pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting element. The sub-pixel driving circuit is coupled to an anode of the light-emitting element and is configured to provide a driving signal to the light-emitting element to drive the light-emitting element to emit light.

[0110] The sub-pixel driving circuit has various structures. For example, as shown in FIG1 , a 3T1C (including 3 transistors and 1 capacitor) circuit structure is adopted, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0111] The display substrate includes a plurality of power lines VDD, a plurality of data lines DA, a plurality of sensing lines SE, a plurality of first scan lines GA1 and a plurality of second scan lines GA2.

[0112] The sub-pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor M3, a sensing transistor M2, a data writing transistor M1 and a storage capacitor Cst.

[0113] The gate T1-g of the data writing transistor M1 is coupled to the corresponding first scan line GA1, the first electrode of the data writing transistor M1 is coupled to the corresponding data line DA, and the second electrode of the data writing transistor M1 is coupled to the gate M3-g of the driving transistor M3.

[0114] The gate M3-g of the driving transistor M3 is coupled to the first plate Cst1 of the storage capacitor Cst. For example, the gate M3-g of the driving transistor M3 is multiplexed as the first plate Cst1 of the storage capacitor Cst. The first electrode of the driving transistor M3 is coupled to the corresponding power line VDD, and the second electrode of the driving transistor M3 is coupled to the anode of the light-emitting element. The cathode of the light-emitting element is coupled to the power signal input terminal VSS. The second plate Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst is coupled to the anode of the light-emitting element.

[0115] A gate T2 - g of the sensing transistor M2 is coupled to the corresponding second scan line GA2 , a first electrode of the sensing transistor M2 is coupled to the corresponding sensing line SE, and a second electrode of the sensing transistor M2 is coupled to the anode of the light emitting element.

[0116] Exemplarily, the driving transistor M3 and the data writing transistor M1 include polysilicon transistors, and the sensing transistor M2 includes an oxide transistor, but is not limited thereto.

[0117] Exemplarily, the insulating layer is located on the side of the first electrode Cst1 facing away from the base substrate 10, and the second electrode Cst2 is located on the surface of the insulating layer facing away from the base substrate 10, so that the insulating layer serves as a dielectric layer between the first electrode Cst1 and the second electrode Cst2.

[0118] Exemplarily, the sensing transistor M2 includes a sensing active layer 42 , and the sensing active layer 42 includes an oxide active layer, such as an IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) active layer, but is not limited thereto.

[0119] In the related technical solution, the second electrode Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst is made of an independent metal film layer, for example: the second gate metal layer often mentioned in the related technology, and after the second electrode Cst2 is made, at least one insulating film layer and an oxide active layer are formed in sequence.

[0120] According to the specific structure of the display substrate described above, in the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sensing transistor M2 is provided including a sensing active layer 42, and the second electrode Cst2 and the sensing active layer 42 are both located on the surface of the insulating layer facing away from the base substrate 10; this arrangement allows the second electrode Cst2 and the sensing active layer 42 to be manufactured on the same layer, which not only avoids the need to manufacture an insulating film layer (such as a second gate insulating layer GI2) between the second electrode Cst2 and the sensing active layer 42, but also allows the second electrode Cst2 and the conductive portion located on the surface of the insulating layer to be manufactured using the same material, so that the second electrode Cst2 and the conductive portion can be formed through the same patterning process, thereby further omitting the manufacturing process flow of the second gate metal layer GI2 as in the related art; therefore, the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure effectively simplifies the manufacturing process flow and reduces the manufacturing cost of the display substrate.

[0121] As shown in Figures 4, 26 and 28, in some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a conductive portion, which is located on the surface of the insulating layer facing away from the base substrate 10; the second electrode Cst2 is made of the same material as the conductive portion; the conductive portion is part of the sensing active layer 42; or, the conductive portion includes a portion independent of the sensing active layer 42.

[0122] By setting the second electrode plate Cst2 and the conductive portion to be made of the same material, the second electrode plate Cst2 and the conductive portion can be formed in the same patterning process, thereby effectively simplifying the manufacturing process of the display substrate and reducing the manufacturing cost of the display substrate.

[0123] The aforementioned arrangement of the conductive portion as part of the sensing active layer 42 enables the second electrode Cst2 to be formed in the same patterning process as the sensing active layer 42. Furthermore, the surface of the insulating layer facing away from the base substrate 10 may no longer include other conductive portions (such as a third conductive layer CM) made of a material different from that of the sensing active layer 42, thereby further simplifying the process for fabricating other conductive portions on the surface of the insulating layer facing away from the base substrate 10. This arrangement is equivalent to eliminating three patterning process steps: the patterning process for independently fabricating the second electrode Cst2 (i.e., the Gate2 mask), the process for independently fabricating other conductive portions (i.e., the CM mask), and the via process (e.g., the CNT-CM mask) required to electrically connect the other conductive portions to the underlying structure (i.e., the structure located on the side of the other conductive portions facing the base substrate 10).

[0124] It should be noted that the sensing transistor M2 adopts a top-gate structure, and the sensing active layer 42 is conductively processed in the area not blocked by the gate, and the conductive portion of the sensing active layer 42 serves as the conductive portion.

[0125] The aforementioned arrangement of the conductive portion including a portion independent of the sensing active layer 42 allows the second electrode plate Cst2 and the conductive portion independent of the sensing active layer 42 to be formed in the same patterning process, effectively simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing the manufacturing cost of the display substrate. It is worth noting that the conductive portion including a portion independent of the sensing active layer 42 means that the conductive portion is made of a different material than the sensing active layer 42 and does not form an integral structure with the sensing active layer 42, but the conductive portion can be electrically connected to the sensing active layer 42.

[0126] As shown in FIG. 26 , in some embodiments, the second electrode plate Cst2 and the conductive portion are formed into an integral structure.

[0127] The second electrode plate Cst2 and the conductive part to be electrically connected thereto form an integral structure, which is beneficial for improving the electrical connection performance between the second electrode plate Cst2 and the conductive part.

[0128] As shown in Figures 2 and 26, in some embodiments, the sub-pixel driving circuit further includes a first conductive connection portion 51; when the conductive portion is part of the sensing active layer 42, the first conductive connection portion 51 passes through the integrated structure and is coupled to the second electrode of the driving transistor M3; the first conductive connection portion 51 is also coupled to the side wall of the integrated structure at the penetration point.

[0129] Exemplarily, the first conductive connection portion 51 is an integrated structure, and the first conductive connection portion 51 is provided in the same layer and with the same material as the first source / drain metal layer in the display substrate, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0130] Exemplarily, the second electrode plate Cst2 and the sensing active layer 42 form an integral structure, the first conductive connection portion 51 penetrates the integral structure in a direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10, one end of the first conductive connection portion 51 is coupled to the second electrode of the driving transistor M3 in a direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10, the other end of the first conductive connection portion 51 is coupled to the anode, and the first conductive connection portion 51 is also coupled to the side wall of the integral structure at the penetration point.

[0131] In more detail, before forming the first conductive connection portion 51, a via process is performed. In this via process, the insulating film layer located on the side of the sensing active layer 42 facing away from the base substrate 10 can be sequentially etched by over-etching, the integral structure formed by the sensing active layer 42 and the second electrode Cst2, and the insulating film layer located between the integral structure and the second electrode of the driving transistor M3. The second electrode of the driving transistor M3 can be formed by the driving active layer 43 in the driving transistor M3.

[0132] The above-mentioned arrangement enables the first conductive connection portion 51 to be formed through a single patterning process, which not only ensures that the first conductive connection portion 51 can electrically connect the second electrode of the driving transistor M3, the second electrode plate Cst2, the sensing active layer 42 and the anode together, but also helps to simplify the manufacturing process of the display substrate and reduce the manufacturing cost of the display substrate.

[0133] As shown in Figures 28 and 30 to 34, in some embodiments, the sub-pixel driving circuit also includes a third conductive connection part 53 and a second conductive connection part 52; the third conductive connection part 53 is respectively coupled to the second electrode Cst2 and the second electrode of the driving transistor M3; the first part of the sensing active layer 42 serves as the second electrode of the sensing transistor M2, and the first part is overlapped on the third conductive connection part 53; the second conductive connection part 52 is respectively coupled to the third conductive connection part 53, the first part and the anode; the conductive part includes the third conductive connection part 53.

[0134] It should be noted that Figure 30 is a schematic diagram of the planar layout of the three sub-pixel driving circuits corresponding to the cross-sectional view of Figure 28; Figure 31 is a schematic diagram of the layout of the polysilicon active layer, the first gate metal layer and the third conductive layer in Figure 30; Figure 32 is a schematic diagram of the layout of the third conductive layer in Figure 31; Figure 33 is a schematic diagram of the layout with an oxide active layer and a third gate metal layer added to Figure 31; and Figure 34 is a schematic diagram of the layout of the first source and drain metal layer in Figure 30.

[0135] Exemplarily, the second electrode plate Cst2 and the third conductive film layer form an integrated structure, but are not limited thereto.

[0136] Exemplarily, the third conductive film layer and the sensing active layer 42 are made of different materials, and the third conductive film layer and the sensing active layer 42 are formed in different patterning processes.

[0137] The second electrode Cst2 is set to be made of the same material as the conductive part, and the conductive part includes the third conductive connecting part 53, so that the second electrode Cst2 can be formed in the same composition process as the third conductive film layer, thereby effectively simplifying the composition process of the display substrate and reducing the production cost of the display substrate.

[0138] As shown in Figures 3, 27 and 29, in some embodiments, the storage capacitor Cst also includes a compensation plate Cst4, which is located on the side of the second plate Cst2 facing away from the base substrate 10, and the positive projection of the compensation plate Cst4 on the base substrate 10 at least partially overlaps with the positive projection of the second plate Cst2 on the base substrate 10. The compensation plate Cst4 is coupled to the first level signal output end, and the compensation plate Cst4 is arranged in the same layer and material as the gate T2-g of the sensing transistor M2.

[0139] Exemplarily, the voltage value of the first-level signal outputted by the first-level signal output terminal includes 0V, but is not limited thereto.

[0140] The gate T2-g of the sensing transistor M2 is located in the third gate metal layer, which has ample design space. Providing the compensation plate Cst4 and the gate T2-g of the sensing transistor M2 in the same layer and material can not only reduce the layout difficulty of the compensation plate Cst4, but also enable the compensation plate Cst4 and the gate T2-g of the sensing transistor M2 to be formed simultaneously in the same patterning process, which is conducive to simplifying the manufacturing process flow of the display substrate.

[0141] Furthermore, by arranging the orthographic projection of the compensation plate Cst4 on the base substrate 10 to at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the second plate Cst2 on the base substrate 10, and coupling the compensation plate Cst4 to the first level signal output terminal, a capacitor structure is formed between the compensation plate Cst4 and the second plate Cst2, thereby increasing the capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst. More specifically, the first plate Cst1 and the second plate Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst have a first capacitance C1, and the second plate Cst2 and the compensation plate Cst4 have a second capacitance C2. The first plate Cst1, the second plate Cst2, and the compensation plate Cst4 together form a parallel capacitor structure, thereby increasing the capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst to C1 + C2.

[0142] In some embodiments, in a plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits located in the same row, the compensation plates included in the storage capacitors in the respective sub-pixel driving circuits are coupled to each other.

[0143] Exemplarily, in the sub-pixel driving circuits of the same row, the compensation plates included in the storage capacitors in each sub-pixel driving circuit are formed into an integrated structure.

[0144] The above-mentioned setting method enables the compensation plates of multiple storage capacitors belonging to the same row of sub-pixel driving circuits to be electrically connected together, so that the compensation plates of multiple storage capacitors belonging to the same row of sub-pixel driving circuits can be coupled together to a first-level signal output terminal, without having to independently connect each of the compensation plates to the first-level signal output terminal, thereby better reducing the structural complexity of the display substrate and the difficulty of the layout of the display substrate.

[0162] With the continuous development of display technology, in order to meet the needs of more application scenarios, the resolution of display products is getting higher and higher, and the layout space that sub-pixels can occupy is getting smaller and smaller. As the sub-pixel layout space decreases, the plate size of the storage capacitor included in the sub-pixel driving circuit in the sub-pixel also decreases synchronously, so there is a problem of the capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst being too small. However, a too small capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst can easily lead to the problem of the anode voltage not being able to be maintained during the light-emitting phase. At the same time, as the capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst decreases, the ratio of the capacitance of the parasitic capacitance to the storage capacitor Cst gradually increases, and the influence of the coupling crosstalk continues to change, which will further affect normal display. Therefore, how to improve the capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst in high-resolution display products has become an urgent problem to be solved.

Exemplarily, the second gate metal layer may further include a first switching pattern 31 and a third switching pattern 33, wherein the first switching pattern 31 and the third switching pattern 33 are both used to couple different functional patterns in the display substrate; for example, when the sub-pixel driving circuit also includes a data write transistor M1, the first switching pattern 31 is used to couple the first electrode of the data write transistor M1 and the corresponding data line DA; the third switching pattern 33 is used to couple the first functional pattern 21 and the second functional pattern 22 in the display substrate.

[0167] Exemplarily, the third electrode plate Cst3 is formed of the same material as the third conductive layer, but is not limited thereto. Exemplarily, the third conductive layer may further include a second switching pattern 32, which is used to couple different functional patterns in the display substrate; for example, when the sub-pixel driving circuit also includes a data write transistor M1, the second switching pattern 32 is used to couple the second electrode of the data write transistor M1 to the first electrode plate Cst1.

[0168] Exemplarily, the third electrode plate Cst3 is coupled to the first electrode plate Cst1 through a via hole, and the via hole can be realized by a CM mask.

[0169] According to the specific structure of the display substrate described above, in the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the storage capacitor Cst is provided to include a first electrode plate Cst1, a second electrode plate Cst2, and a third electrode plate Cst3 stacked in sequence. The first electrode plate Cst1 is coupled to the third electrode plate Cst3, which is equivalent to increasing the overlapping area between the electrodes in the storage capacitor Cst, thereby effectively improving the capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst. Moreover, by providing the third electrode plate Cst3 with the same layer and material as the third conductive layer, the third electrode plate Cst3 can be formed simultaneously with the third conductive layer in the same patterning process, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the display substrate while improving the capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst.

[0172] As shown in Figure 45, exemplarily, in multiple sub-pixel driving circuits located in the same row, the compensation plates Cst4 included in the storage capacitors Cst in each sub-pixel driving circuit are coupled; this method enables the compensation plates Cst4 of multiple storage capacitors Cst belonging to the sub-pixel driving circuit in the same row to be electrically connected together, so that the compensation plates Cst4 of multiple storage capacitors Cst belonging to the sub-pixel driving circuit in the same row can be coupled together to a first-level signal output terminal, and there is no need to independently connect each of the compensation plates Cst4 to the first-level signal output terminal, thereby better reducing the structural complexity of the display substrate and the difficulty of the layout of the display substrate.

[0173] The gate T2-g of the sensing transistor M2 is located in the third gate metal layer, which has ample design space. Providing the compensation plate Cst4 and the gate T2-g of the sensing transistor M2 in the same layer and material can not only reduce the layout difficulty of the compensation plate Cst4, but also enable the compensation plate Cst4 and the gate T2-g of the sensing transistor M2 to be formed simultaneously in the same patterning process, which is conducive to simplifying the manufacturing process flow of the display substrate.

[0174] Moreover, by setting the positive projection of the compensation plate Cst4 on the base substrate 10 to at least partially overlap with the positive projection of the third plate Cst3 on the base substrate 10, and coupling the compensation plate Cst4 to the first level signal output end, a capacitor structure can be formed between the compensation plate Cst4 and the third plate Cst3, thereby increasing the capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst.
