DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0082] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0083] It should be noted that in the drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of elements may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. Thus, the sizes and relative sizes of the individual elements are not necessarily limited to those shown in the drawings. In the specification and drawings, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts.

[0084] When an element is described as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, or "bound to" another element, the element may be directly on the other element, directly connected to the other element, or directly bound to the other element, or there may be an intermediate element. However, when an element is described as being "directly on" another element, "directly connected to" another element, or "directly bound to" another element, there is no intermediate element. Other terms and / or expressions used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a similar manner, for example, "between" versus "directly between", "adjacent" versus "directly adjacent", or "on" versus "directly on", etc. In addition, the term "connected" may refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, a communication connection, and / or a fluid connection. In addition, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are not limited to the three axes of a rectangular coordinate system, and may be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis may be perpendicular to each other, or may represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. For the purposes of this disclosure, “at least one of X, Y, and Z” and “at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z” may be interpreted as only X, only Y, only Z, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z, such as XYZ, XY, YZ, and XZ. As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0085] It should be noted that although the terms "first," "second," etc. may be used herein to describe various parts, components, elements, regions, layers, and / or portions, these parts, components, elements, regions, layers, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are used to distinguish one part, component, element, region, layer, and / or portion from another. Thus, for example, the first part, first member, first element, first region, first layer, and / or first portion discussed below may be referred to as a second part, second member, second element, second region, second layer, and / or second portion without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure.

[0086] For ease of description, spatially relative terms, such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature to another element or feature as shown in the figures. It should be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" or "over" the other elements or features.

[0087] As used herein, the terms "substantially," "about," "approximately," "roughly," and other similar terms are used as terms of approximation rather than as terms of degree, and are intended to account for the inherent deviations in measured or calculated values ​​that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art. To account for factors such as process fluctuations, measurement problems, and errors associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., limitations of the measurement system), "about" or "approximately" as used herein are inclusive of the stated value and mean within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, "approximately" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, ±20%, ±10%, ±5% of the stated value.

[0088] It should be noted that, in this article, the term "the same layer" refers to a layer structure formed by using the same film-forming process to form a film layer used to form a specific pattern, and then patterning the film layer using the same mask through a single patterning process. Depending on the specific pattern, a single patterning process may include multiple exposure, development, or etching processes, and the specific pattern in the resulting layer structure may be continuous or discontinuous. In other words, multiple elements, components, structures, and / or parts located in the "same layer" are composed of the same material and are formed through the same patterning process. Typically, multiple elements, components, structures, and / or parts located in the "same layer" have approximately the same thickness.

[0089] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in this article, unless otherwise specified, the expression "height" or "thickness" refers to the dimension of the surface of each film layer arranged perpendicular to the display substrate, that is, the dimension along the light emitting direction of the display substrate, or the dimension along the normal direction of the display device.

[0090] In this document, the term "transistor" may refer to a triode, a thin-film transistor, a field-effect transistor, or other device with similar characteristics. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, to distinguish the two electrodes of a transistor other than the control electrode, one electrode is referred to as the first electrode, and the other electrode is referred to as the second electrode. In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin-film transistor or a field-effect transistor, the first electrode may be the drain electrode, and the second electrode may be the source electrode; alternatively, the first electrode may be the source electrode, and the second electrode may be the drain electrode.

[0091] FIG1 schematically shows a plan view of a display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0092] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 , a display substrate includes a display area AA and a peripheral area NA located around the display area AA.

Each sub-pixel SP includes a light-emitting element and a driving circuit electrically connected to the light-emitting element. The driving circuit is configured to independently drive the light-emitting element to emit light, thereby causing the display substrate to display an image.

[0093] The light-emitting element used in the embodiments of the present disclosure may specifically be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED). For example, the light-emitting element may be an OLED with a top-emitting structure, which may emit red light, green light, blue light, or white light, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific structure of the light-emitting element. For example, the first electrode of the light-emitting element is the anode of the OLED, and the second electrode is the cathode of the OLED, that is, the pixel circuit is a common cathode structure. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this, and according to changes in the circuit structure, the pixel circuit may also be a common anode structure.

[0094] The display substrate used in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be a rigid substrate, such as a glass substrate, a silicon substrate, etc., or can be formed of a flexible material with excellent heat resistance and durability, such as polyimide (P1), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene, polyacrylate, polyarylate, polyetherimide, polyethersulfone, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polysulfone (PSF), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), cellulose triacetate (TAC), cycloolefin polymer (COP) and cycloolefin copolymer (COC), etc.

[0095] According to some exemplary embodiments, the display substrate includes a driving circuit layer located on a base substrate and a light emitting element layer located on a side of the driving circuit layer away from the base substrate, wherein each driving circuit is located in the driving circuit layer and each light emitting element is located in the light emitting element layer.

[0096] For example, the driving circuit layer includes a first conductive layer located on the base substrate, a second conductive layer located between the first conductive layer and the base substrate, a third conductive layer located between the second conductive layer and the base substrate, a fourth conductive layer located between the third conductive layer and the base substrate, and an active layer located between the fourth conductive layer and the base substrate.

Figure 3 schematically illustrates a plan view of a superimposed third conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a first conductive layer in a display substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0099] It should be noted that in the plan views of some film layers of the display substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the rectangular frame lines and the cross lines within the rectangular frame lines are only for illustrating the setting range of a driving circuit, and are not part of the film layer structure in the display substrate.

[0100] 3 , the display substrate includes a first initialization signal transmission structure A10, a second initialization signal transmission structure A20, a reference voltage signal transmission structure A30, and a second power signal transmission structure A40 located on the base substrate.
