DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to describe embodiments of the present disclosure in detail. It is noted that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. One skilled in the art can easily understand that the means and content can be varied into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the content described in the following embodiments. The embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0056] The proportions of the drawings in the present disclosure can be used as a reference in the actual process, but are not limited thereto. For example, the width-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are also not limited to the number shown in the drawings. The drawings described in the present disclosure are only schematic structural diagrams, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.

[0057] In the present specification, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third", and the like are provided to avoid confusion of constituent elements, and are not intended to be limiting in terms of number.

[0058] In the present specification, for the convenience of description, words indicating orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like are used to describe the positional relationship of the constituent elements with reference to the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description of the present 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 constituent elements is appropriately changed according to the direction of describing each constituent element. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the specification, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.

[0059] In the present specification, unless explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mount", "connect", "connection" should be understood broadly. For example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate piece, or the communication inside two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

In the case of using a transistor having opposite polarity or in the case where the direction of current changes in circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged with each other. Thus, in this specification, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be interchanged with each other, and the "source terminal" and the "drain terminal" can be interchanged with each other.

[0062] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes the case where components are connected through an element having some function of electricity. The element having some function of electricity is not particularly limited as long as electric signals can be transmitted and received between components to be connected. Examples of the element having some function of electricity include not only an electrode and a wiring but also a switching element such as a transistor, a resistor, an inductor, a capacitor, and another element having some function.

[0063] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where an angle formed between two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than or equal to 10°, and thus a state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than or equal to 5° is also included. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where an angle formed between two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than or equal to 100°, and thus a state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than or equal to 95° is also included.

[0064] In this specification, a "film" and a "layer" can be interchanged with each other. For example, a "conductive layer" can be replaced with a "conductive film". Similarly, an "insulating film" can be replaced with an "insulating layer".

[0065] In this specification, a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon is not strictly a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon, and can be an approximately triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon. There can be some small deformation due to a tolerance, a rounded corner, a rounded side, or deformation.

[0066] In this specification, "about" means not strictly limited to the limit and allows a range of values within a process and measurement error.

When light passes through the light-transmitting region with an irregular shape, the directions of the diffraction fringes are different due to the different positions of the diffraction fringes, and thus the diffraction fringes of the light are not diffused in one direction but in multiple directions, which greatly weakens the diffraction effect, avoids the phenomenon of blurring of the object behind the screen, and improves the transparent display effect.

Since the gate electrode line 31 of the first sub-pixel P1 and the second sub-pixel P2 is a double-line structure with a double-channel function, whether a short circuit point occurs on the gate electrode line 31 of the first sub-pixel P1 or the gate electrode line 31 of the second sub-pixel P2, the cutting point can ensure that the short circuit point is isolated and will not affect the normal work of the pixel drive circuit in the first sub-pixel P1 and the second sub-pixel P2.

[0227] In the example embodiment, since the gate electrode lines 31 of the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 are double-line structures, having a double-channel function, whether a short-circuit point occurs on the gate electrode line 31 of the third sub-pixel P3 or on the gate electrode line 31 of the fourth sub-pixel P4, the cut-off point can ensure that the short-circuit point is isolated, and the normal operation of the pixel driving circuit in the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 is not affected.

The display substrate of the present disclosure saves the number of signal lines, reduces the occupied space, has a simple structure, a reasonable layout, fully utilizes the layout space, improves the space utilization rate, and is conducive to improving the resolution and transparency by designing the first power line 71 in a one-to-four structure.

[0271] In the example embodiment, the eighth connection electrode 48 can be in the shape of a block (such as a rectangle), and the eighth connection electrode 48 is connected to the second plate 12 and the second gate electrode 32 through the seventh via V7. Since the second gate electrode 32 is connected to the fourth plate 14, the eighth connection electrode 48 realizes that the second plate 12 of the first capacitor and the fourth plate 14 of the second capacitor have the same potential of the first node N1.

[0272] In the example embodiment, the ninth connection electrode 49 can be in the shape of a block (such as a rectangle), and the ninth connection electrode 49 is connected to the first region of the third active layer and the second connection electrode 42 through the fifth via V5.

[0273] In an example embodiment, the ninth connection electrodes 49 in the first sub-pixel P1 and the second sub-pixel P2 can be an integral structure connected to each other, and the ninth connection electrodes 49 in the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 can be an integral structure connected to each other.

[0274] In an example embodiment, the third conductive layer of each repeating unit in the display substrate can further include an eleventh connection electrode 51, a twelfth connection electrode 52, a thirteenth connection electrode 53, and a fourteenth connection electrode 54.

[0275] In an example embodiment, the eleventh connection electrode 51 can be in a strip shape extending along the first direction X, and can be disposed in the first sub-pixel P1. A first end of the eleventh connection electrode 51 is connected to the first region of the first active layer and the first connection electrode 41 in the first sub-pixel P1 through the first via V1, and a second end of the eleventh connection electrode 51 is connected to the fourth data connection block 64-1 through the tenth via V10. Since the fourth data connection block 64-1 is connected to the fourth data signal line 64, the fourth data signal line 64 writes the fourth data signal to the first electrode of the first transistor T1 in the first sub-pixel P1 is achieved.

[0276] In an example embodiment, the twelfth connection electrode 52 can be in a strip shape extending along the first direction X, and can be disposed in the second sub-pixel P2. A first end of the twelfth connection electrode 52 is connected to the first region of the first active layer and the first connection electrode 41 in the second sub-pixel P2 through the first via V1, and a second end of the twelfth connection electrode 52 is connected to the third data connection block 63-1 through the eleventh via V11. Since the third data connection block 63-1 is connected to the third data signal line 63, the third data signal line 63 writes the third data signal to the first electrode of the first transistor T1 in the second sub-pixel P2 is achieved.

[0277] In an example embodiment, the thirteenth connection electrode 53 can be in a strip shape extending along the first direction X, and can be disposed in the third sub-pixel P3. A first end of the thirteenth connection electrode 53 is connected to the first region of the first active layer and the first connection electrode 41 in the third sub-pixel P3 through the first via V1, and a second end of the thirteenth connection electrode 53 is connected to the second data connection block 62-1 through the twelfth via V12. Since the second data connection block 62-1 is connected to the second data signal line 62, the second data signal line 62 writes the second data signal to the first electrode of the first transistor T1 in the third sub-pixel P3 is achieved.

[0278] In an example embodiment, the fourteenth connection electrode 54 can be in the shape of a block (e.g., a rectangle), and can be disposed in the fourth sub-pixel P4. The fourteenth connection electrode 54 is connected to the first region of the first active layer and the first connection electrode 41 in the fourth sub-pixel P4 through the first via V1. Since the first connection electrode 41 in the fourth sub-pixel P4 is connected to the first data signal line 61 through the first data connection block, the first data signal line 61 writes the first data signal to the first electrode of the first transistor T1 in the fourth sub-pixel P4.

[0279] In an example embodiment, the third conductive layer of each repeating unit in the display substrate can further include a fifteenth connection electrode 55 and a sixteenth connection electrode 56.

[0280] In an example embodiment, the fifteenth connection electrode 55 can be in the shape of a strip extending along the first direction X, and can be disposed in the region between the first sub-pixel P1 and the second sub-pixel P2. The first end of the fifteenth connection electrode 55 is connected to the compensation signal line 73, and the second end of the fifteenth connection electrode 55 is connected to the ninth connection electrode 49 in the first sub-pixel P1 and the ninth connection electrode 49 in the second sub-pixel P2, respectively. Since the ninth connection electrode 49 is connected to the first region of the third active layer and the second connection electrode 42, the compensation signal line 73 writes the compensation signal to the first electrode of the third transistor T3 in the first sub-pixel P1 and the first electrode of the third transistor T3 in the second sub-pixel P2.

[0281] In an example embodiment, since the third transistors T3 in the first sub-pixel P1 and the second sub-pixel P2 are adjacent to each other, the third transistors T3 in the two sub-pixels can share the same fifteenth connection electrode 55 as the lateral compensation connection line, the number of lateral compensation connection lines can be reduced, the layout space can be saved, and the yield can be improved.

[0282] In an example embodiment, in at least one repeating unit, the ninth connection electrode 49, the fifteenth connection electrode 55, and the compensation signal line 73 of the integrated structure in the first sub-pixel P1 and the second sub-pixel P2 can be an integrated structure connected to each other.

[0283] In the example embodiment, the shape of the sixteenth connection electrode 56 can be a strip shape extending along the first direction X, the sixteenth connection electrode 56 can be arranged in the region between the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4, the first end of the sixteenth connection electrode 56 is connected with the compensation signal line 73, and the second end of the sixteenth connection electrode 56 is connected with the ninth connection electrode 49 in the third sub-pixel P3 and the ninth connection electrode 49 in the fourth sub-pixel P4, respectively. Since the ninth connection electrode 49 is connected with the first region of the third active layer and the second connection electrode 42 at the same time, the compensation signal line 73 writes the compensation signal to the first electrode of the third transistor T3 in the third sub-pixel P3 and the first electrode of the third transistor T3 in the fourth sub-pixel P4 is realized.

[0284] In the example embodiment, since the third transistors T3 in the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 are adjacent to each other, the third transistors T3 of the two sub-pixels can share the same sixteenth connection electrode 56 as the lateral compensation connection line, the number of lateral compensation connection lines can be reduced, the layout space can be saved, and the yield can be improved.

[0285] In the example embodiment, in at least one repeating unit, the ninth connection electrode 49, the fifteenth connection electrode 55 and the compensation signal line 73 of the integrated structure in the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 can be an integrated structure connected with each other.

[0286] In the example embodiment, the fifteenth connection electrode 55, the sixteenth connection electrode 56 and the compensation signal line 73 can be an integrated structure connected with each other. Compared with the structure that the lateral compensation connection line and the compensation signal line are connected through the via hole, the number of via holes is reduced, the occupied space is reduced, the connection structure is simplified, and the resolution and transparency are improved.

[0287] In the example embodiment, the orthographic projection of the fifteenth connection electrode 55 and the sixteenth connection electrode 56 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first data signal line 61 to the fourth data signal line 64 on the substrate. Since the first data signal line 61 to the fourth data signal line 64 are arranged in the first conductive layer, the fifteenth connection electrode 55 and the sixteenth connection electrode 56 are arranged in the third conductive layer, and the first conductive layer and the third conductive layer are separated by the first insulating layer, the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer, the occurrence of cross-line defects can be effectively reduced.

[0288] In the example embodiment, since the fifteenth connection electrode 55 and the sixteenth connection electrode 56 are both connected with the compensation signal line 73, the compensation signal line 73 can provide the compensation signal to the pixel driving circuit in each sub-pixel through the fifteenth connection electrode 55 and the sixteenth connection electrode 56, and thus four pixel driving circuits in one display area 110 can share one compensation connection line 73, that is, the compensation connection line in one repeating unit is a one-to-four structure. The display substrate of the present disclosure saves the number of signal lines, reduces the occupied space, has a simple structure, a reasonable layout, fully utilizes the layout space, improves the space utilization rate, and is conducive to improving the resolution and transparency by designing the compensation signal line as a one-to-four structure.

[0289] In the example embodiment, since the fourth data signal line 64 and the first power line 71 are arranged in one conductive layer, and the second power line 72 and the compensation signal line 73 are arranged in another conductive layer, the structure that the compensation signal line 73 is arranged between the fourth data signal line 64 and the first power line 71, and the structure that the first power line 71 is arranged between the compensation signal line 73 and the second power line 72, can effectively reduce the distance between the fourth data signal line 64 and the compensation signal line 73, reduce the distance between the first power line 71 and the compensation signal line 73, reduce the distance between the first power line 71 and the second power line 72, reduce the occupied area of the plurality of signal lines, reduce the area of the display area, and improve the area of the light transmission area.

[0290] In the example embodiment, in at least one repeating unit, the ninth connection electrode 49 in the integrated structure in the first sub-pixel P1 and the second sub-pixel P2 and the ninth connection electrode 49 in the integrated structure in the third sub-pixel P3 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 can be arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the sub-pixel center line between the second sub-pixel P2 and the third sub-pixel P3, and the fifteenth connection electrode 55 and the sixteenth connection electrode 56 can be arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the sub-pixel center line between the second sub-pixel P2 and the third sub-pixel P3. The present disclosure can ensure that the RC delay of the compensation signal written to the third transistor T3 is substantially the same through the symmetric structure that the third transistor T3 is connected with the compensation connection line, and ensures the display uniformity.

[0291] In the example embodiment, since the first plate 11 is overlapped with the third plate 13, the first plate 11 has the potential of the second node N2. Since the second plate 12 and the fourth plate 14 are connected through the eighth connection electrode 48, the second plate 12 has the potential of the first node N1. In this way, the first plate 11 having the potential of the second node N2 and the second plate 12 having the potential of the first node N1 form the first capacitor.

[0292] In the example embodiment, since the third plate 13 as the lower plate has the potential of the second node N2, and the fourth plate 14 as the intermediate plate has the potential of the first node N1, the third plate 13 having the potential of the second node N2 and the fourth plate 14 having the potential of the first node N1 constitute a first sub-capacitance of the second capacitance. Since the fourth plate 14 as the intermediate plate has the potential of the first node N1, and the fifth plate 15 as the upper plate has the potential of the second node N2, the fourth plate 14 having the potential of the first node N1 and the fifth plate 15 having the potential of the second node N2 constitute a second sub-capacitance of the second capacitance.

[0293] In the example embodiment, the first sub-capacitance and the second sub-capacitance are in a parallel structure. The disclosure forms the first sub-capacitance and the second sub-capacitance in a parallel structure by the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer and the third conductive layer, and the first sub-capacitance and the second sub-capacitance in a parallel structure constitute the second capacitance, which on the one hand can effectively increase the capacitance value of the second capacitance, and on the other hand can reduce the plate area while ensuring the capacitance value of the second capacitance, effectively reducing the occupied area.

[0294] In the example embodiment, the first capacitance and the second capacitance are in a parallel structure. The disclosure forms the first capacitance and the second capacitance in a parallel structure, and the first capacitance and the second capacitance in a parallel structure constitute the storage capacitance of the pixel driving circuit, which on the one hand can effectively increase the capacitance value of the storage capacitance, and on the other hand can reduce the plate area while ensuring the storage capacitance, effectively reducing the occupied area. In addition, the first capacitance is a transparent capacitance, and part of the transparent capacitance is arranged in the light transmission region, which can effectively increase the capacity of the storage capacitance with less impact on the transmittance.

[0295] In the example embodiment, the first capacitance can have a first capacitance value Cst1, and the second capacitance can have a second capacitance value Cst2, and the storage capacitance value Cst of the storage capacitance is Cst1+Cst2. Since the first capacitance is arranged in the light transmission region, the first capacitance value Cst1 can be determined by the size of the storage capacitance value Cst and the second capacitance value Cst2, and the area of the two transparent plates of the first capacitance can be adjusted in the light transmission region according to actual conditions. Since the second capacitance is arranged in the display region, the size of the second capacitance value Cst2 is actually determined by the sub-pixel layout space. When the horizontal space in the sub-pixel is relatively sufficient, the area of the three plates of the second capacitance can be appropriately increased in the first direction X. When the vertical space in the sub-pixel is relatively sufficient, the area of the three plates of the second capacitance can be appropriately increased in the second direction Y. In this way, the area of the three plates of the second capacitance can be minimized to maximize the area of the light transmission region.

[0296] In an exemplary embodiment, the third conductive layer of each repeating unit in the display substrate can further include at least one auxiliary connection electrode 82.

[0297] In an exemplary embodiment, the auxiliary connection electrode 82 can have an overall "T" shape, and can include an auxiliary connection strip 82-1 and an auxiliary connection block 82-2. The auxiliary connection strip 82-1 can have a strip shape extending along the first direction X, with a first end connected to the second power line 72 and a second end extending into the adjacent light-transmissive region 120 away from the second power line 72 and connected to the auxiliary connection block 82-2. The auxiliary connection block 82-2 can have a block shape (e.g., a rectangular shape) disposed in the light-transmissive region 120 and configured to be connected to a subsequently formed auxiliary cathode.

[0298] In an exemplary embodiment, there can be five auxiliary connection electrodes 82 in at least one repeating unit. For example, there can be two auxiliary connection electrodes 82 in the first sub-pixel P1, two auxiliary connection electrodes 82 in the fourth sub-pixel P4, and one auxiliary connection electrode 82 between the second sub-pixel P2 and the third sub-pixel P3.

[0299] In an exemplary embodiment, the auxiliary connection strip 82-1 and the auxiliary connection block 82-2 can be an integrated structure connected to each other in at least one sub-pixel.

On the substrate with the aforementioned pattern, the fourth insulating layer is formed first, and then the color filter layer is formed on the fourth insulating layer by a patterning process. The color filter layer can include at least red filter, blue filter and green filter. Subsequently, a planar film is coated, and the planar film and the fourth insulating film are patterned by a patterning process to form a fourth insulating layer covering the third conductive layer, a color filter layer disposed on the fourth insulating layer, and a planar layer covering the color filter layer pattern. The planar layer and the fourth insulating layer are provided with a plurality of vias.

[0307] In an example embodiment, the first planar layer and the color filter layer can be provided only in the display area 110, and the first planar layer and the color filter layer located in the light-transmitting area 120 are removed completely, including the area where the plate connecting electrode 81 and the auxiliary connecting electrode 82 are located.

The anode connecting electrode 92 can include a first sub-connecting electrode 92-1, a second sub-connecting electrode 92-2, and a third sub-connecting electrode 92-3, shapes of the first sub-connecting electrode 92-1 and the second sub-connecting electrode 92-2 can be strip shapes extending along the first direction X, and a shape of the third sub-connecting electrode 92-3 can be a strip shape extending along the second direction Y. A first end of the first sub-connecting electrode 92-1 is connected with the first sub-anode 91-1, a first end of the second sub-connecting electrode 92-2 is connected with the second sub-anode 91-2, and second ends of the first sub-connecting electrode 92-1 and the second sub-connecting electrode 92-2 are connected with first and second ends of the third sub-connecting electrode 92-3, respectively, after extending to the light-transmitting area 120 of the present repeating unit, and the third sub-connecting electrode 92-3 is connected with the plate connecting block 81-2 through the twenty-first via hole V21. In an exemplary embodiment, the anode connecting electrode 92 realizes the mutual connection between the first sub-anode 91-1 and the second sub-anode 91-2, and the anode 91 is connected with the fifth plate 15 through the plate connecting block 81-2 and the plate connecting strip 81-1, so that the anode 91 is connected with the fifth plate 15 of the storage capacitor.

[0312] In an exemplary embodiment, the plate connecting electrode 81 and the anode connecting electrode 92 can be the third protruding structure of the present disclosure, that is, the third protruding structure can include the plate connecting electrode 81 and the anode connecting electrode 92 located on different conductive layers. The third protruding structure protrudes towards the light-transmitting area 120 of the present repeating unit, and a normal projection of the third protruding structure on the substrate at least partially overlaps with a normal projection of the light-transmitting area 120 on the substrate, so as to weaken the diffraction effect and improve the transparent display effect.

[0313] In an example embodiment, the first sub-connection electrode 92-1 can have a fifth protruding width D5 between the edge of the first sub-connection electrode 92-1 close to the edge of the plate connecting strip 81-1 and the edge of the plate connecting strip 81-1 close to the first sub-connection electrode 92-1, or the second sub-connection electrode 92-2 can have a fifth protruding width D5 between the edge of the second sub-connection electrode 92-2 close to the edge of the plate connecting strip 81-1 and the edge of the plate connecting strip 81-1 close to the second sub-connection electrode 92-2.

[0314] In an example embodiment, the first protruding width D1 can be greater than the fifth protruding width D5, the second protruding width D2 can be greater than the fifth protruding width D5, the third protruding width D3 can be greater than the fifth protruding width D5, and the fourth protruding width D4 can be greater than the fifth protruding width D5, which not only helps to weaken the diffraction effect and improve the transparent display effect, but also facilitates the repair of the scanning signal line.

[0315] In an example embodiment, when a bright spot defect occurs in the display substrate, the anode connecting electrode 92 can be cut off by a laser cutting method, so that one of the first sub-anode 91-1 and the second sub-anode 91-2 is connected to the fifth plate 15, and the other is floating, thereby repairing the bright spot defect.

[0316] In an example embodiment, the twenty-first via hole V21 can be referred to as an anode via hole, and the orthogonal projection of the anode via hole on the base does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the first sub-anode 91-1 and the second sub-anode 91-2 on the base, which not only can improve the success rate of repairing the bright spot defect and avoid the influence of repair on the pixel driving circuit, but also can ensure the flatness of the anode and improve the light-emitting quality of the light-emitting device and the display effect.

[0317] In an example embodiment, the four anodes 91 in the repeating unit are arranged in a vertical manner, the anode 91 in the first sub-pixel P1 is connected to the pixel driving circuit in the sub-pixel, the anode 91 in the second sub-pixel P2 is connected to the pixel driving circuit in the sub-pixel, the anode 91 in the third sub-pixel P3 is connected to the pixel driving circuit in the sub-pixel, and the anode 91 in the fourth sub-pixel P4 is connected to the pixel driving circuit in the sub-pixel. In some possible implementations, the arrangement of the anode can be adjusted according to actual needs, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

The auxiliary cathode 93 can be in a block shape (e.g., a rectangular shape), a normal projection of the auxiliary cathode 93 on the substrate at least partially overlaps a normal projection of the auxiliary connecting block 82-2 on the substrate, the auxiliary cathode 93 can be connected to the auxiliary connecting block 82-2 through the twenty-second via hole V22, and the auxiliary cathode 93 is configured to be connected to a subsequently formed cathode.

[0320] In the example embodiment, the auxiliary cathode 93 can adopt a resistive island (RIB) structure, and a cross-sectional shape of the auxiliary cathode 93 can be an inverted trapezoid, so that a subsequently formed organic light-emitting layer can be disconnected at a side edge of the auxiliary cathode 93 to form isolated and separated organic light-emitting blocks, effectively avoiding interference of the organic light-emitting blocks with the emitted light, improving the quality of the emitted light, and being conducive to improving display quality.

[0321] In the example embodiment, the auxiliary cathode is further configured to reduce a diffraction effect of the transparent area. By arranging the auxiliary cathode in the transparent area, the transparent area is changed from a regular rectangle to an irregular shape, and different positions of the transparent area have different slit widths. When light passes through the transparent area in the irregular shape, the diffraction fringes are generated in different directions due to different positions of the diffraction fringes, so the diffraction fringes of the light are not diffused in one direction but in multiple directions, greatly weakening the diffraction effect, avoiding the phenomenon of virtualization of objects behind the screen, and improving the transparent display effect.

[0322] In the example embodiment, in a plane parallel to the substrate, the shape of the auxiliary cathode can include any one or more of a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, and a hexagon.

[0328] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel definition layer of the light-transmitting region 120 is substantially removed to form a plurality of light-transmitting openings T.

[0329] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one light-transmitting opening T near one side of the display region 110 can be provided with a groove recessed toward the direction away from the display region 110, and the orthographic projection of the groove on the substrate contains the orthographic projection of the anode connecting electrode 92, the first protruding structure and the second protruding structure on the substrate, i.e. the area where the anode connecting electrode 92, the first protruding structure and the second protruding structure in the light-transmitting region 120 are covered by the pixel definition layer.

[0330] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting opening T on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the scan transmission line 36 on the substrate, i.e. the area where the scan transmission line 36 in the light-transmitting region 120 is covered by the pixel definition layer.

[0331] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting opening T in the light-transmitting region 120 on the substrate contains the orthographic projection of the auxiliary cathode 93 on the substrate, i.e. the surface of the plurality of auxiliary cathodes 93 is exposed by the light-transmitting opening T.

[0332] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel definition layer can be polyimide, acrylic or polyethylene terephthalate, etc.

[0333] Subsequently, the organic light-emitting layer pattern and the cathode pattern are formed. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the organic light-emitting layer and the cathode pattern can include: first forming the organic light-emitting layer pattern in the display region, and the organic light-emitting layer is connected with the first sub-anode and the second sub-anode through the first pixel opening and the second pixel opening respectively. Subsequently, the cathode is formed, and in the display region, the cathode is connected with the organic light-emitting layer, and in the light-transmitting region, the cathode is connected with the plurality of auxiliary cathodes. Since the auxiliary cathode is connected with the auxiliary connecting electrode, and the auxiliary connecting electrode is connected with the second power supply line, the connection of the cathode with the second power supply line is realized.

[0334] In an exemplary embodiment, the organic light-emitting layer can include an emission layer (EML), and any one or more of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL).

Different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is that, since the fourth plate is disposed in the semiconductor layer, the fourth plate and the first active layer are an integrated structure connected with each other, thus the second conductive layer of the present embodiment does not dispose the fourth plate and the third connection electrode.

[0372] In the example embodiment, the plurality of vias of each sub-pixel in the display substrate at least includes: a first via V1, a third via V3, a fourth via V4, a fifth via V5, a sixth via V6, a seventh via V7, an eighth via V8, a ninth via V9, and a thirteenth via V13.

Among them, the structure of the tenth connection electrode 50 and its connection relationship are basically the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5. Different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is that, since the fourth plate is provided in the semiconductor layer, the fourth plate and the first active layer are an integrated structure connected to each other, so that the third conductive layer of the embodiment does not provide the fifth connection electrode, but provides the tenth connection electrode 50.

[0377] In the example embodiment, the tenth connection electrode 50 can be in a block shape (e.g., a rectangular shape), and the tenth connection electrode 50 is connected to the fourth plate 14 and the second gate electrode 32 through the thirteenth via hole V13. Since the second gate electrode 32 is connected to the second plate 12, the fourth plate 14 and the first active layer are an integrated structure connected to each other, thereby realizing the connection between the second electrode of the first transistor T1, the gate electrode of the second transistor T2, the second plate 12, and the fourth plate 14 in each sub-pixel, and forming the first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit.

[0378] In the example embodiment, the third conductive layer of each repeating unit in the display substrate can further include an eleventh connection electrode 51, a twelfth connection electrode 52, a thirteenth connection electrode 53, a fourteenth connection electrode 54, a fifteenth connection electrode 55, a sixteenth connection electrode 56, and an auxiliary connection electrode 82, and the above structure and the connection relationship thereof are substantially the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5.

[0379] In the example embodiment, since the first plate 11 is overlapped with the third plate 13, the first plate 11 has the potential of the second node N2. Since the second plate 12 and the fourth plate 14 are connected through the eighth connection electrode 48 and the tenth connection electrode 50, the second plate 12 has the potential of the first node N1. In this way, the first plate 11 having the potential of the second node N2 and the second plate 12 having the potential of the first node N1 constitute the first capacitor.

[0380] In the example embodiment, since the third plate 13 as a lower plate has the potential of the second node N2 and the fourth plate 14 as an intermediate plate has the potential of the first node N1, the third plate 13 having the potential of the second node N2 and the fourth plate 14 having the potential of the first node N1 constitute a first sub-capacitor of the second capacitor. Since the fourth plate 14 as an intermediate plate has the potential of the first node N1 and the fifth plate 15 as an upper plate has the potential of the second node N2, the fourth plate 14 having the potential of the first node N1 and the fifth plate 15 having the potential of the second node N2 constitute a second sub-capacitor of the second capacitor.

[0381] In the example embodiment, the first sub-capacitor and the second sub-capacitor are in a parallel structure, and the first capacitor and the second capacitor are in a parallel structure.

[0382] In the example embodiment, the second capacitor in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is formed by the structure of the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer and the third conductive layer stacked together, compared with the structure of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer of the first sub-capacitor being separated by the first insulating layer and then the second insulating layer. The second capacitor in the embodiment is formed by the structure of the first conductive layer, the semiconductor layer and the third conductive layer stacked together, and the first conductive layer and the semiconductor layer of the first sub-capacitor are separated only by the first insulating layer. Therefore, on the one hand, the structure of the embodiment can effectively increase the capacity of the first sub-capacitor, can effectively increase the capacity of the second capacitor, and then increase the capacity of the storage capacitor, and on the other hand, can reduce the area of the plate under the condition of ensuring the capacitance value of the storage capacitor, effectively reduce the area occupied by the pixel driving circuit, and is conducive to realizing high-resolution display.

[0383] In the example embodiment, the subsequent preparation process can include forming a fourth insulating layer and a first planar layer pattern, forming a second transparent conductive layer, forming a pixel definition layer, forming an organic light-emitting layer, forming a cathode, and forming an encapsulation structure layer, etc. The forming process is basically the same as that of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, and will not be described here.

[0384] So far, the preparation of the display substrate of the embodiment is completed. In the example embodiment, the structure of the display substrate of the embodiment is basically the same as that of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5. The difference is that the fourth plate of the embodiment is arranged in the semiconductor layer.
