AI Technical Summary
The existing OLED display panels have a wide bezel area, which affects the aesthetics and overall design of the display device. In addition, the connection method of the initialization signal line results in the bezel area occupying a large space, which affects the uniformity of brightness.
In the display panel, a mesh structure is used for the initialization signal lines and connection lines to reduce the connection points and line length in the bezel area. The connection to the bonding pins is made directly through the first bezel area, avoiding the need to go around the corner area and optimizing the layout of the bezel area.
It effectively reduces the width of the bezel area, improves the brightness uniformity and aesthetics of the display panel, and reduces the space occupied by the bezel area.

[0047] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the description and the claims, the term "comprise," and variations thereof (e.g., "comprises" and "comprising"), will be construed to be inclusive in a manner consistent with the term's plain meaning, namely, "including but not limited to." In describing the description, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "exemplary embodiments," "example," "specific example" or "some examples," and the like, mean that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic is included in at least one embodiment or example of the disclosure, but that it can not be included in other embodiments or examples. The illustrative appearance of the foregoing terms in various places in the description are not necessarily intended to refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0048] Hereinafter, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used only for the purpose of description and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the disclosure, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise specified.
[0049] In describing some embodiments, "coupled" and "connected," and variations thereof, can be used. The term "connected" should be interpreted broadly, for example, "connected" can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrated; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. The term "coupled" indicates, for example, that two or more components have direct physical contact or electrical contact. The term "coupled" or "communicatively coupled" can also mean that two or more components do not have direct contact with each other, but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the content herein.
[0050] "A, B, and C at least one of" has the same meaning as "at least one of A, B, or C", and includes the following combinations of A, B, and C: only A, only B, only C, a combination of A and B, a combination of A and C, a combination of B and C, and a combination of A, B, and C.
[0051] "A and / or B" includes the following three combinations: only A, only B, and a combination of A and B.
[0052] As used herein, the term "if' is, optionally, interpreted as meaning "when" or "while" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting," depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [stated condition or event] is detected," is, optionally, interpreted as meaning "upon determining" or "in response to determining" or "upon detecting [stated condition or event]" or "in response to detecting [stated condition or event]," depending on the context.
[0053] Use of "adapted to" or "configured to" herein means open and inclusive language that does not exclude additional devices or steps not specifically recited.
[0054] Additionally, use of "based on" means open and inclusive, as the process, step, calculation, or other action based on a stated condition or value can actually be based on additional conditions or values beyond those stated.
[0055] As used herein, "about," "approximately," or "circa" includes the recited value and the mean within an acceptable range of deviation from the particular value, as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art considering the measurement in question and the error in measuring the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).
[0056] As used herein, "parallel," "perpendicular," "equal" includes the recited condition and conditions that approximate the recited condition, the approximation being within an acceptable range of deviation, as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art considering the measurement in question and the error in measuring the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallel and near parallel, where the acceptable range of deviation for near parallel can be, for example, within 5°; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicular and near perpendicular, where the acceptable range of deviation for near perpendicular can also be, for example, within 5°. "Equal" includes absolute equality and near equality, where the acceptable range of deviation for near equality can be, for example, a difference between the two that is less than or equal to 5% of either.
[0057] It will be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being "on" another layer or substrate, it can be directly on the other layer or substrate, or intervening layers can also be present.
[0058] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional and / or plan view illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. Variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an etched region illustrated as a rectangle will, typically, have jagged edges when etched due to the fact that the etching process often does not proceed at 90° angles. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic and not drawn to scale. As used herein, the term "schematic" means that the drawings are not drawn to scale and are intended to be illustrative only.
[0059] It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and the like used herein are described in the angle shown in the drawings, and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it should also be understood that when referring to an element connected to another element "on" or "under", it can be directly connected to another element "on" or "under" or indirectly connected to another element "on" or "under" through an intermediate element.
[0060] The first node, the second node, and the third node described in the embodiments of the present application are not actual components, but are convergence points of relevant electrical connections in a circuit diagram, that is, these nodes are nodes equivalent to convergence points of relevant electrical connections in a circuit diagram.
[0061] In some embodiments, the control electrode of each transistor adopted by the pixel circuit is the gate of the transistor, the first electrode is one of the source and the drain of the transistor, and the second electrode is the other of the source and the drain of the transistor. Since the source and the drain of the transistor can be symmetrical in structure, the source and the drain of the transistor can be indistinguishable in structure, that is, the first electrode and the second electrode of the transistor in the embodiments of the present application can be indistinguishable in structure. For example, in the case of a P-type transistor, the first electrode of the transistor is the source and the second electrode of the transistor is the drain; for example, in the case of an N-type transistor, the first electrode of the transistor is the drain and the second electrode of the transistor is the source.

[0090] The structure of the pixel circuit 21 can include various structures, which can be selected according to actual needs. For example, the structure of the pixel circuit 21 can include a "2T1C", "3T1C", "6T1C", "7T1C", "6T2C" or "7T2C" structure. Among them, "T" represents the transistor 211, the number before "T" represents the number of transistors 211, and "C" represents the storage capacitor 212, and the number before "C" represents the number of storage capacitors 212.
[0091] In some examples, the plurality of transistors in the pixel circuit 21 can include P-type transistors and N-type transistors. In other examples, the plurality of transistors in the pixel circuit 21 can all be P-type transistors or can all be N-type transistors, which can simplify the process flow, reduce the process difficulty of the display substrate, and improve the yield of the product.

The material of the cathode 223 also includes magnesium-aluminum alloy or indium tin oxide.
[0094] The light-emitting functional layer 222 can include only a light-emitting layer, or can further include at least one of an electron transporting layer (ETL), an electron injection layer (EIL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), a hole transporting layer (HTL), a hole injection layer (HIL), and an electron blocking layer (EBL) in addition to the light-emitting layer.
[0095] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the display panel 100 further includes an encapsulation layer 50 located on a side of the plurality of light-emitting devices 22 away from the substrate 10, and the encapsulation layer 50 is configured to encapsulate the light-emitting devices 22 and improve the service life of the light-emitting devices 22. The encapsulation layer 50 can be an encapsulation film or an encapsulation substrate, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited herein.
[0096] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the encapsulation layer 50 can include one encapsulation film, or two or more encapsulation films stacked. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the encapsulation layer 50 includes a first inorganic encapsulation layer 51, a first organic encapsulation layer 52, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer 53 stacked in a direction perpendicular to and away from the substrate 10. The materials of the first inorganic encapsulation layer 51 and the second inorganic encapsulation layer 53 include any one or more of silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or silicon oxide. The material of the first organic encapsulation layer 52 includes a polymer resin, such as polyimide.
[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the display panel 100 further includes a plurality of initialization signal lines VL. The initialization signal lines VL are at least partially located in the display area A and connected to the pixel circuits 21 in the plurality of sub-pixels 20. The initialization signal lines VL are configured to transmit an initialization signal. In this way, the initialization signal can be transmitted to the pixel circuits 21 through the initialization signal lines VL, so as to initialize the nodes in the pixel circuits 21, and thus the problem that the electric potential of the residual image of the previous image frame affects the display image of the next image frame can be improved, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel 100.
[0098] In some embodiments, the display area A has a shape of any one of a circle, an ellipse, and a rectangle, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited herein.
[0099] In the present text, "substantially circular or elliptical" means that the shape is generally circular or elliptical, but is not limited to a standard circular or elliptical shape. That is, "circular or elliptical" herein includes not only a substantially circular or elliptical shape, but also a shape similar to a circular or elliptical shape.
[0100] In the present text, "substantially rectangular" means that the shape is generally rectangular, but is not limited to a standard rectangular shape. That is, "rectangular" herein includes not only a substantially rectangular shape, but also a shape similar to a rectangular shape. For example, the long side and the short side of the rectangle are curved at each intersection (i.e., at the corners), i.e., the corners are smooth, and the shape is a rounded rectangular shape. Hereinafter, the shape of the display area A shown in FIG. 7 is taken as an example of a substantially rounded rectangular shape.
[0101] As shown in FIG. 7, the peripheral area B can include a first bezel area B1 (a lower bezel area), two second bezel areas B2 (left or right bezel areas), and a third bezel area B3 (an upper bezel area).
[0102] The first bezel area B1 extends along the first direction X and is located at one side of the display area A along the second direction Y. The second bezel area B2 extends along the second direction Y and is located at one side of the display area A along the first direction X. The two second bezel areas B2 are oppositely arranged along the first direction X and are respectively located at opposite sides of the display area A, i.e., one second bezel area B2 is located at the left side of the display area A, and the other second bezel area B2 is located at the right side of the display area A. The third bezel area B3 extends along the first direction X and is located at a side of the display area A away from the first bezel area B1.
[0103] On this basis, as shown in FIG. 7, the peripheral area B further includes four corner areas B4, one corner area B4 being located between two adjacent bezel areas, wherein the shape of the inner side boundary and the outer side boundary of the corner area B4 is an arc (a circular arc). And the two adjacent bezel areas are connected through a corner area B4.
[0104] As shown in FIG. 7, the display panel 100 includes a plurality of first type binding pins 60. The plurality of first type binding pins 60 are located on the substrate 10, and the plurality of first type binding pins 60 are located in the first bezel area B1. The plurality of first type binding pins 60 are used for binding with an external circuit board.
[0105] On this basis, the display panel 100 further comprises a plurality of initialization connection lines 70, the plurality of initialization connection lines 70 are connected with the partial first type binding pins 60 and a plurality of initialization signal lines VL, so that the external circuit board binding can provide an initialization signal to the pixel circuit 21 through the initialization signal line VL, and then initialize the node in the pixel circuit 21. In turn, it can improve the problem that the potential of the last image frame remaining in the node affects the display image of the next image frame, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel 100.
[0106] In the related art, all the initialization connection lines are extended from the first frame area to the second frame area around the first frame area, and are connected with the initialization signal lines. The extension of all the initialization connection lines from the first frame area to the second frame area around the first frame area through the corner area causes the width of the second frame area and the corner area to be relatively wide, for example, the width of the second frame area is 900 μm. The width of the corner area is 950 μm to 1000 μm.
[0107] In order to solve the above technical problems, as shown in FIG. 7, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel 100. In the display panel 100, the plurality of first type binding pins 60 comprises a first binding pin 61, and the plurality of initialization signal lines VL comprises a first initialization signal line VL1. The plurality of initialization connection lines 70 comprises a first initialization connection line 71, the first initialization connection line 71 is located on the substrate 10, the first initialization connection line 71 is located in the first frame area B1, and the first initialization connection line 71 is electrically connected with the first binding pin 61 and the first initialization signal line VL1.
[0108] In this way, the first initialization connection line 71 is located in the first frame area B1, and does not need to extend to the second frame area B2 around the corner area B4. In this way, on the one hand, the number of initialization connection lines 70 located in the second frame area B2 and the corner area B4, and the number of connection points for connecting the initialization signal line VL and the initialization connection line 70 in the first frame area B1 can be reduced, thereby the width of the first frame area B1 can be reduced.
[0109] Through experiments, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide that the width of the second frame area B2 along the first direction X is reduced from 900 μm to 860 μm to 880 μm. The distance between the inner side boundary and the outer side boundary of the corner area B4 is reduced from 950 μm to 1000 μm to 890 μm to 960 μm.
[0110] For example, the width of the first frame area B1 along the first direction X is 860 μm, 862 μm, 865 μm, 869 μm, 870 μm, 873 μm, 876 μm, or 880 μm.
[0111] For example, the distance between the inner side boundary and the outer side boundary of the corner area B4 is 890 μm, 895 μm, 900 μm, 910 μm, 916 μm, 924 μm, 930 μm, 935 μm, 942 μm, 948 μm, 950 μm, and 960 μm.
[0112] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 7, the plurality of corner areas B4 includes a first corner area B41 and a second corner area B42. The first corner area B41 is located between the first bezel area B1 and the second bezel area B2, and the second corner area B42 is located between the second bezel area B2 and the third bezel area B3.
[0113] Experiments show that the distance between the inner side boundary and the outer side boundary of the first corner area B41 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure is reduced from 970 μm to 1000 μm to 920 μm to 960 μm.
[0114] For example, the distance between the inner side boundary and the outer side boundary of the first corner area B41 is 920 μm, 925 μm, 931 μm, 938 μm, 940 μm, 944 μm, 949 μm, 953 μm, or 960 μm.
[0115] Experiments show that the distance between the inner side boundary and the outer side boundary of the second corner area B42 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure is reduced from 950 μm to 980 μm to 860 μm to 930 μm.
[0116] For example, the distance between the inner side boundary and the outer side boundary of the second corner area B42 is 860 μm, 865 μm, 870 μm, 878 μm, 886 μm, 890 μm, 900 μm, 905 μm, 910 μm, 915 μm, 920 μm, or 930 μm.
[0117] On the other hand, the first initialization connection line 71 is located in the first bezel area B1, does not need to extend to the second bezel area B2 through the corner area B4, and can shorten the length of the first initialization connection line 71, thereby reducing the resistance of the first initialization connection line 71, and further reducing the voltage drop on the first initialization connection line 71. The initialization potential of the node in the pixel circuit 21 is improved, thereby reducing the risk of display panel 100 display unevenness as a three-way screen or at low gray scale. For example, the resistance of the first initialization connection line 71 is less than or equal to 50 Ω.
[0118] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first initialization signal line VL1 includes a plurality of first sub-lines VL11 and a plurality of second sub-lines VL12.
[0119] The first sub-lines VL11 are at least partially located in the display area A, extend along the first direction X, and are spaced apart along the second direction Y. The second sub-lines VL12 are at least partially located in the display area A, extend along the second direction Y, and are spaced apart along the first direction X. The second sub-lines VL12 are electrically connected to the first sub-lines VL11 and form a mesh structure. In this way, the power consumption of the display panel 100 can be reduced.
[0120] On this basis, as shown in FIG. 7, the first initialization connection line 71 includes a first trunk line 711 and at least one first branch line 712. For example, the first initialization connection line 71 includes one, two, or three first branch lines 712.
[0121] The first trunk line 711 is located in the first frame area B1 and extends along the first direction X. The second sub-lines VL12 extend to the first frame area B1 and are electrically connected to the first trunk line 711. The at least one first branch line 712 is located in the first frame area B1. The at least one first branch line 712 is located on a side of the first trunk line 711 away from the display area A. The at least one first branch line 712 is electrically connected to the first trunk line 711 and the first binding pin 61.
[0122] In this way, the initialization signal on the first binding pin 61 can be transmitted to the second sub-lines VL12 through the first branch line 712 and the first trunk line 711, and then to the first sub-lines VL11, and further to the pixel circuit 21 in the sub-pixel 20.
[0123] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the first branch line 712 includes a first wire segment 7121 and a second wire segment 7122.
[0124] The first wire segment 7121 extends along the first direction X. The second wire segments 7122 extend along the second direction Y and are spaced apart along the first direction X. The second wire segments 7122 are electrically connected to the first wire segment 7121 and the first trunk line 711.
[0125] It can be understood that the first branch line 712 also includes other wire segments. For example, the first branch line 712 also includes an eighth wire segment 7123. One end of the eighth wire segment 7123 is connected to the first wire segment 7121, and the other end is connected to the first binding pin 61.
[0126] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the second trace segment 7122 includes a first sub-segment 71211 and a second sub-segment 71212. The first sub-segment 71211 extends along the second direction Y, and the first sub-segment 71211 is directly connected with the first trace segment 7121. Here, the first sub-segment 71211 being directly connected with the first trace segment 7121 means that the first sub-segment 71211 and the first trace segment 7121 are not connected through other connecting structures (for example, connecting lines and connecting holes), for example, the first sub-segment 71211 and the first trace segment 7121 are an integral structure.
[0127] The second sub-segment 71212 extends along the second direction Y, and the second sub-segment 71212 is directly connected with the first main trace 711, and the second sub-segment 71212 is connected with the first sub-segment 71211. Here, the second sub-segment 71212 being directly connected with the first main trace 711 means that the second sub-segment 71212 and the first main trace 711 are not connected through other connecting structures (for example, connecting lines and connecting holes), for example, the second sub-segment 71212 and the first main trace 711 are an integral structure.
[0128] In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the second trace segment 7122 is directly connected with the first trace segment 7121. Here, the second trace segment 7122 being directly connected with the first trace segment 7121 means that the second trace segment 7122 and the first trace segment 7121 are not connected through other connecting structures (for example, connecting lines and connecting holes), for example, the second trace segment 7122 and the first trace segment 7121 are an integral structure.
[0129] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 10, the plurality of first type binding pins 60 includes a plurality of first binding pins 61, for example, the plurality of first type binding pins 60 includes two, three or four first binding pins 61. The first initialization connecting line 71 includes a plurality of first branch lines 712, for example, the first initialization connecting line 71 includes two, three or four first branch lines 712.
[0130] On this basis, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 10, the plurality of first binding pins 61 are symmetrically arranged about the first axis X1. And / or, the plurality of first branch lines 712 are symmetrically arranged about the first axis X1. In this way, the circuit structure can be simplified, the regularity of the circuit trace can be improved, and the preparation cost can be reduced. The first axis X1 extends along the second direction Y and passes through the center of the display area A.
[0131] It can be understood that the plurality of first binding pins 61 can also be arranged asymmetrically about the first axis X1. For example, the number of first binding pins 61 and first branch lines 712 on one side of the first axis X1 is greater than the number of first binding pins 61 and first branch lines 712 on the other side of the first axis X1.
[0132] In some examples, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the first initialization connection line 71 includes two first branch lines 712, and the two first branch lines 712 are located on opposite sides of the edge of the display panel 100 along the first direction X, i.e., the two first branch lines 712 are located on both sides of the first axis X1.

The plurality of second type binding pins 80 are located in the first border area B1, and the plurality of second type binding pins 80 are located between the first trunk line 711 and the plurality of first type binding pins 60. The two first branch lines 712 are respectively located on one side of the plurality of second type binding pins 80 close to the boundary of the first border area B1. Among them, the second type binding pin 80 is configured to be bound with an external driving chip (driving IC) and connected with the first type binding pin 60.
[0134] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 13, the plurality of second type binding pins 80 includes a plurality of fourth binding pins 81 and a plurality of fifth binding pins 82. The plurality of fourth binding pins 81 are located on one side of the plurality of fifth binding pins 82 close to the display area A. The plurality of fourth binding pins 81 are connected with the data line, and the plurality of fifth binding pins 82 are connected with the first type binding pin 60. Exemplarily, the length of the fourth binding pin 81 along the second direction Y is less than the length of the fifth binding pin 82 along the second direction Y.
[0135] Exemplarily, the plurality of fourth binding pins 81 can be arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns, each row of fourth binding pins 81 includes at least two fourth binding pins 81 arranged along the first direction X, and each column of fourth binding pins 81 includes at least two fourth binding pins 81 arranged along the second direction Y. The shape of the middle fourth binding pin 81 is approximately rectangular, and the shape of the edge fourth binding pin 81 is approximately parallelogram and inclined towards the middle. The plurality of fifth binding pins 82 can be arranged in a row, and the shape of the middle fifth binding pin 82 is approximately rectangular, and the shape of the edge fifth binding pin 82 is approximately parallelogram and inclined towards the middle.
[0136] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the plurality of first type binding pins 60 further includes a plurality of second binding pins 62. The plurality of initialization signal lines VL further includes a second initialization signal line VL2, and the initialization signals transmitted by the first initialization signal line VL1 and the second initialization signal line VL2 are different, for example, the first initialization signal line VL1 transmits a first initialization signal, and the second initialization signal line VL2 transmits a second initialization signal. The plurality of initialization connection lines 70 further includes a second initialization connection line 72, and the second initialization connection line 72 is located in the first border area B1. The second initialization connection line 72 is electrically connected with the second binding pin 62 and the second initialization signal line VL2.
[0137] In this way, the second initialization connection line 72 is located in the first frame area B1, and does not need to extend to the second frame area B2 through the corner area B4. In this way, the number of initialization connection lines 70 located in the second frame area B2 and the corner area B4 can be further reduced, and the number of connection points for connecting the initialization signal line VL and the initialization connection line 70 in the first frame area B1 can be reduced, so that the width of the first frame area B1 can be reduced.
[0138] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the second initialization signal line VL2 includes a plurality of third sub-lines VL21 and a plurality of fourth sub-lines VL22.

The plurality of fourth sub-lines VL22 are located in at least part of the display area A, the fourth sub-lines VL22 extend along the second direction Y, and the plurality of fourth sub-lines VL22 are spaced apart along the first direction X. The plurality of fourth sub-lines VL22 and the plurality of third sub-lines VL21 are electrically connected and form a mesh structure. In this way, the power consumption of the display panel 100 can be reduced.
[0140] On this basis, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the second initialization connection line 72 includes a second trunk line 721 and a second branch line 722.
[0141] The second trunk line 721 is located in the first frame area B1 and extends along the first direction X, and the plurality of fourth sub-lines VL22 extend to the first frame area B1 and are electrically connected to the second trunk line 721.

[0142] In this way, the initialization signal on the second binding pin 62 can be transmitted to the fourth sub-line VL22 through the second branch line 722 and the second trunk line 721, and then transmitted to the plurality of third sub-lines VL21, and then transmitted to the pixel circuit 21 of the sub-pixel 20.
[0143] The positional relationship between the first trunk line 711 and the second trunk line 721 is described below.
[0144] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the second trunk line 721 is located on the side of the first trunk line 711 close to the display area A.

[0146] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 11, the second branch line 722 includes a third wire segment 7221 and a plurality of fourth wire segments 7222. The third wire segment 7221 extends in the first direction X. The plurality of fourth wire segments 7222 extend in the second direction Y and are arranged at intervals in the first direction X. The plurality of fourth wire segments 7222 are electrically connected to the third wire segment 7221 and the second trunk line 721.

Among them, the fourth wire segment 7222 is directly connected to the third wire segment 7221, which means that the fourth wire segment 7222 and the third wire segment 7221 are not connected through other connecting structures (such as connecting lines and connecting holes), for example: the fourth wire segment 7222 and the third wire segment 7221 are an integral structure.

The third sub-segment 72221 extends along the second direction Y, and the third sub-segment 72221 is directly connected to the third wire segment 7221. Here, the third sub-segment 72221 being directly connected to the third wire segment 7221 means that the third sub-segment 72221 and the third wire segment 7221 are not connected through other connecting structures (for example, connecting lines and connecting holes), for example: the third sub-segment 72221 and the third wire segment 7221 are an integral structure.

The fourth sub-segment 72222 is connected to the third sub-segment 72221.

And / or, the plurality of second branch lines 722 are symmetrically arranged about the first axis X1. In this way, the circuit structure can be simplified, the regularity of the circuit wire can be improved, and the preparation cost can be reduced.
[0154] It can be understood that the plurality of second binding pins 62 can also be arranged asymmetrically about the first axis X1. For example, the number of second binding pins 62 and second branch lines 722 located on one side of the first axis X1 is greater than the number of second binding pins 62 and second branch lines 722 located on the other side of the first axis X1.

The third initialization connection line 73 is electrically connected with the third binding pin 63 and the third initialization signal line VL3. At this time, the resistance of the third initialization connection line 73 is greater than 50Ω, for example, the resistance of the third initialization connection line 73 is 55Ω, 60Ω, 66Ω, 70Ω, 74Ω, 80Ω or 90Ω.

The plurality of sixth wire segments 732 is located in the second border area B2 and extends along the first direction X. Each fifth sub-line VL31 extending to the second border area B2 is electrically connected with a sixth wire segment 732.
[0160] In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 15 (in FIG. 15, the black small blocks represent the switching holes), on the basis that the third initialization signal line VL3 comprises a plurality of fifth sub-lines VL31, the third initialization signal line VL3 can further comprise a plurality of sixth sub-lines VL32. The plurality of sixth sub-lines VL32 extends along the second direction Y and is spaced apart along the first direction X. Each sixth sub-line VL32 is electrically connected with the plurality of fifth sub-lines VL31 and is in a mesh structure. In this way, the power consumption of the display panel 100 can be further reduced.
[0161] It can be understood that the third initialization connection line 73 further comprises other wire segments. For example, the third initialization connection line 73 further comprises a tenth wire segment 733 (as shown in FIG. 10). The tenth wire segment 733 extends from the first border area B1 to the second border area B2. One end of the tenth wire segment 733 is connected with the fifth wire segment 731, and the other end is connected with the third binding pin 63.
[0162] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 10, the plurality of first type of binding pins 60 comprises a plurality of third binding pins 63, for example, the plurality of first type of binding pins 60 comprises two, three or four third binding pins 63. The plurality of initialization connection lines 70 further comprises a plurality of third initialization connection lines 73. For example, the plurality of initialization connection lines 70 further comprises two, three or four third initialization connection lines 73.
[0163] On this basis, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 10, the plurality of third binding pins 63 are symmetrically arranged about the first axis X1. And / or, the plurality of third initialization connection lines 73 are symmetrically arranged about the first axis X1. In this way, the circuit structure can be simplified, the regularity of the circuit layout can be improved, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0164] It can be understood that the plurality of third binding pins 63 and the plurality of third initialization connection lines 73 can also be arranged asymmetrically about the first axis X1. For example, the number of third binding pins 63 and third initialization connection lines 73 located on one side of the first axis X1 is greater than the number of third binding pins 63 and third initialization connection lines 73 located on the other side of the first axis X1.
[0165] In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, the third initialization connection line 73 is located in the first frame area B1, and the third initialization connection line 73 is electrically connected with the third binding pin 63 and the third initialization signal line VL3.
[0166] In this way, the third initialization connection line 73 is located in the first frame area B1, and does not need to extend to the second frame area B2 through the corner area B4. In this way, the number of initialization connection lines 70 located in the second frame area B2 and the corner area B4, and the number of connection points of the initialization signal line VL and the initialization connection line 70 located in the second frame area B2 can be further reduced, so that the width of the second frame area B2 can be reduced.

The plurality of sixth sub-lines VL32 are at least partially located in the display area A, the sixth sub-line VL32 extends along the second direction Y, and the plurality of sixth sub-lines VL32 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The plurality of sixth sub-lines VL32 and the plurality of fifth sub-lines VL31 are electrically connected and form a mesh structure. This is advantageous in reducing the power consumption of the display panel 100.

And / or, the plurality of third branch lines 7302 are symmetrically arranged about the first axis X1. In this way, the circuit structure can be simplified, the regularity of the circuit layout can be improved, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0176] It can be understood that the plurality of third binding pins 63 can also be arranged asymmetrically about the first axis X1. For example, the number of third binding pins 63 and third branch lines 7302 located on one side of the first axis X1 is greater than the number of third binding pins 63 and third branch lines 7302 located on the other side of the first axis X1.
[0177] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 16, the third initialization connection line 73 includes two third branch lines 7302, which are located near the edges of the display panel 100 on opposite sides in the first direction X.

The gate control signal lines 110 include a first fan-out segment 111 and a second fan-out segment 112. The first fan-out segment 111 is located in the first frame area B1 and extends in the second direction Y. At this time, the first fan-out segment 111 is located on one side of the first initialization connection line 71 away from the display area A.
[0182] The second fan-out segment 112 is located in the first frame area B1 and extends in the first direction X.

[0184] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17, the third initialization connection line 73 further includes a seventh wire segment 734, which is located in the first bezel area B1 and extends along the second direction Y. That is, the part of the tenth wire segment 734 located in the first bezel area B1 and extending along the second direction Y constitutes the seventh wire segment 734, i.e., the seventh wire segment 734 is a part of the tenth wire segment 733.
[0185] The positional relationship between the seventh wire segment 734, the first initialization connection line 71, the first fan-out segment 111 and the second fan-out segment 112 is exemplified as follows.
[0186] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the seventh wire segment 734 is located between the first fan-out segment 111 and the first initialization connection line 71 and crosses the second fan-out segment 112 along the second direction Y.
[0187] In some other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 19, the seventh wire segment 734 is located on the side of the first fan-out segment 111 away from the first initialization connection line 71.

[0190] In some embodiments, the signals received by the second reset signal terminal Reset2 and the third reset signal terminal Reset3 are the same. In this way, the control electrode of the third reset transistor T7 and the control electrode of the second reset transistor T4 can be controlled through the second reset signal terminal RESET2, so that the anode of the light emitting device 22 is initialized at the same time in the process of initializing the third node N3, simplifying the circuit structure.
[0191] It can be understood that the pixel circuit 21 further comprises a compensation transistor T2, a data writing transistor T3, a first light emitting transistor T5, a second light emitting transistor T6, a driving transistor T8 and a storage capacitor 212.

[0193] On this basis, as shown in FIG. 20, the cathode of the light emitting device 22 is coupled with the second voltage signal terminal VSS. Among them, the level output by the second voltage signal terminal VSS is lower than the high level output by the first voltage signal terminal VDD.
[0194] As shown in FIG. 20, the first reset transistor T1, the data writing transistor T3, the second reset transistor T4, the first light emitting transistor T5, the second light emitting transistor T6, the third reset transistor T7 and the driving transistor T8 are P-type transistors, and the compensation transistor T2 is an N-type transistor.

Among them, the gate of the compensation transistor T2 included in the first gate conductive layer GT1 is the bottom gate of the compensation transistor T2, and the gate of the compensation transistor T2 included in the third gate conductive layer GT3 is the top gate of the compensation transistor T2, i.e., the compensation transistor T2 is a double-gate structure transistor.
[0211] The following describes the film layer in which the first scan signal line GL1, the second scan signal line GL2, the first reset signal line RL1, the second reset signal line RL2, the third reset signal line RL3, the light-emitting signal line EML, the first initialization signal line VL1, the second initialization signal line VL2, and the third initialization signal line VL3 are located.
[0212] As shown in FIG. 21, the second scan signal line GL2, the first reset signal line RL1, the second reset signal line RL2, the third reset signal line RL3, and the light-emitting signal line EML are located in the first gate conductive layer GT1. The first scan signal line GL1 is located in the third gate conductive layer GT3. As shown in FIG. 15, the first sub-line VL11, the third sub-line VL21, and the fifth sub-line VL31 are located in the third gate conductive layer GT3. The second sub-line VL12, the fourth sub-line VL22, and the sixth sub-line VL32 are located in the first source-drain conductive layer SD1.
[0213] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17, the display panel 100 is a flexible display panel 100, and the display panel 100 has a main body area 101, a binding area 102, and a bending area 103 located between the main body area 101 and the binding area 102.
[0214] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17, the main body area 101 can include a portion of the display panel 100 for displaying images. That is, the main body area 101 can include a display area A. As shown in FIG. 17, the main body area 101 can also include a partial area of the peripheral area B. For example, the main body area 101 can also include a portion of the first bezel area B1 and the second bezel area B2.
[0215] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17, the main body area 101 can include a portion of the display panel 100 for displaying images. That is, the main body area 101 can include a display area A. As shown in FIG. 17, the main body area 101 can also include a partial area of the peripheral area B. For example, the main body area 101 can also include a portion of the first bezel area B1 and the second bezel area B2.
[0216] By the bending process, the display panel 100 located in the bending area can be bent along the bending axis in the first direction X towards the non-display side of the display panel 100 located in the main body area 101, so that the display panel 100 located in the binding area 102 is bent to the non-display side of the display panel 100 located in the main body area 101, thereby reducing the bezel of the display device 1000 (as shown in FIG. 1). It should be noted that the bending axis is not an actual structure existing in the display panel 100, but a concept proposed only for the purpose of explaining the bending process of the display panel 100.
[0217] It should be noted that the bending radius of the display panel 100 located in the bending area can be 0.1mm-0.5mm; for example, the bending radius of the display panel 100 located in the bending area can be any one of 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.35mm, 0.4mm and 0.5mm.
[0218] It should be understood that the smaller the bending radius of the display panel 100 located in the bending area, the narrower the bezel of the display device 1000 corresponding to the display panel 100 located in the bending area (such as the lower bezel in FIG. 1) can be designed, which is more conducive to the narrow bezel design of the display device 1000. For example, the bending radius of the display panel 100 located in the bending area can be 0.1mm-0.2mm, for example, the bending radius of the display panel 100 located in the bending area can be any one of 0.12mm, 0.15mm and 0.18mm, so that the bezel of the display device 1000 corresponding to the display panel 100 located in the bending area (such as the lower bezel in FIG. 1) can be made narrower.
