[0041] Unless otherwise required by the context, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" is to be interpreted as open, inclusive meaning, i.e. "including, but not limited to".

[0042] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

In addition, the area of the notch area A3 except the notch is also provided with a sub-pixel 2 to increase the number of pixels per inch (PPI) of the display panel 10, that is, to increase the pixel density of the display panel 10.

[0063] The regular display area A4 is an area of the display area A1 except the notch area A3, and the regular display area A4 is used to display a picture.

[0066] Generally, a fanout area is arranged in the peripheral area of the display panel close to the lower frame. The plurality of data signal lines are designed as fan-shaped oblique lines in the fanout area, so as to lead out the plurality of data signal lines. The arrangement of the fanout area makes the width of the lower frame larger, which is not conducive to the narrow frame of the display device.

[0067] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a technology of fanout in active area (FIAA) of a data signal line.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the regular display area A4 includes a display fanout area A5, and the display fanout area A5 is close to a corner area A6 of the display panel 10.

[0070] The plurality of first wires 51 includes a plurality of first data connection lines 53 and a plurality of first dummy connection lines 54, at least part of the first data connection lines 53 is arranged in the display fan-out area A5. In the first direction X, the first data connection lines 53 are collinear with the first dummy connection lines 54 (including the first connection lines 541 or the second connection lines 542 hereinafter), that is, the first data connection lines 53 and the first dummy connection lines 54 extend along the same straight line and are disconnected between them.

That is, the data signal line 4 passing through the corner area A6 is led out through the first data connection line 53 and the second data connection line 55, and the data signal line 4 is realized in the display area A1, which is beneficial to reduce the width of the peripheral area A2 of the display panel 10 close to the lower frame, improve the screen-to-body ratio of the display panel 10, realize the full-screen display, and is beneficial to realize the narrow frame of the display device 1.

[0075] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the plurality of first dummy connection lines 54 and the plurality of second dummy connection lines 56 are connected to form a first mesh structure, which is connected to the first power signal line 61, can reduce the resistance of the transmission path of the VSS signal, reduce the IR-drop of the VSS signal in the transmission process, thereby improve the uniformity of the VSS signal received by the cathode 24 in each region of the display area A1, and ensure the normal light emission of the light emitting device L.

[0076] Exemplarily, the black solid dots shown in FIG. 4 are positions where the first dummy connection line 54 is connected with the second dummy connection line 56, and positions where the first mesh structure accesses the first power signal line 61. The positions of the black solid dots can be adjusted according to the needs of the layout design, which is not limited in the present application.

[0077] For example, in the thin film transistor T of the pixel driving circuit 3, the conductive layer where the source S and the drain D are located can be referred to as a first source-drain conductive layer (SD1), and the conductive layer where the anode adapter structure 25 is located can be referred to as a second source-drain conductive layer (SD2).

Here, “each of the second power signal lines 62 extends along the second direction Y” means that the whole of the second power signal line 62 extends along the second direction Y, and the local part of the second power signal line 62 can extend deviating from the second direction Y.

[0085] Exemplarily, the display panel 10 comprises two initialization signal buses 71. Along the first direction X, the two initialization signal buses 71 are arranged on opposite sides of the display area A1.

[0086] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the display panel 10 further comprises a plurality of initialization signal lines 72 arranged in the display area A1, each of which extends along the first direction X, and the plurality of initialization signal lines 72 are arranged along the second direction Y.

[0087] It can be understood that, referring to FIG. 7, in the process of pattern design, in order to enable the initialization signal line 72 to avoid other conductive patterns, the shape of the pattern of the initialization signal line 72 can be designed as a non-straight line, and here, “each initialization signal line 72 extends along the first direction X” means that the whole of the initialization signal line 72 extends along the first direction X, and the local part of the initialization signal line 72 can extend deviating from the first direction X.

[0088] Each initialization signal line 72 can extend from the display area A1 to the peripheral area A2 on both sides and be electrically connected with the two initialization signal buses 71. Moreover, in the display area A1, each initialization signal line 72 is further electrically connected with the pixel driving circuit 3 of a row of the sub-pixels 2.

[0089] In the initial stage of driving the light emitting device L by the pixel driving circuit 3, the initialization signal line 72 can receive an anode initialization voltage signal (VAR signal) from the initialization signal bus 71 and transmit the anode initialization voltage signal to the pixel driving circuit 3. The pixel driving circuit 3 transmits the anode initialization voltage signal to the anode 22, so as to reset the potential of the anode 22, thereby ensuring that the light emitting device L can normally emit light in the subsequent light emitting stage.

[0090] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the plurality of first dummy connection lines 54 comprises at least one first connection line 541 and at least one second connection line 542, the first connection line 541 and the second connection line 542 both extend along the first direction X and are arranged along the second direction Y.

[0091] The plurality of second dummy connection lines 56 include at least one third connection line 561 and at least one fourth connection line 562, the third connection line 561 and the fourth connection line 562 both extend along the second direction Y and are arranged along the first direction X.

[0092] The first connection line 541, the third connection line 561 and the first power signal line 61 are connected, i.e. the first connection line 541 and the third connection line 561 are connected to the first power signal line 61. Also, the second connection line 542, the fourth connection line 562 and the initialization signal line 72 are connected, i.e. the second connection line 542 and the fourth connection line 562 are connected to the initialization signal line 72.

[0093] Exemplarily, the black solid point in FIG. 6 is the position where the first connection line 541 and the third connection line 561 are connected, and the position where the first connection line 541 and the third connection line 561 are connected to the first power signal line 61. The white hollow point in FIG. 6 is the position where the second connection line 542 and the fourth connection line 562 are connected, and the position where the second connection line 542 and the fourth connection line 562 are connected to the initialization signal bus 71 and the initialization signal line 72. The positions of the black solid point and the white hollow point can be adjusted according to the needs of layout design, which is not limited in the present application.

[0094] For example, referring to FIG. 7, the first source-drain conductive layer (SD1) further includes the initialization signal line 72, the first connection line 541, the second connection line 542 and the connection pattern 8. The second source-drain conductive layer (SD2) further includes the third connection line 561 and the fourth connection line 562.

[0095] At the black solid point in FIG. 6, the third connection line 561 penetrates through the dielectric layer (the first planarization layer 27 and the passivation layer 26) to electrically connect with the first connection line 541. Also, at the white hollow point in FIG. 6, the initialization signal line 72 is connected with the second connection line 542 through the connection pattern 8, and the fourth connection line 562 is connected with the connection pattern 8 through the via hole H penetrating through the dielectric layer (the first planarization layer 27 and the passivation layer 26).

[0096] It can be understood that the conductive layer where the initialization signal line 72, the first connection line 541, the second connection line 542, the third connection line 561 and the fourth connection line 562 and the connection pattern 8 are located is only exemplary, which is not limited in the present application.

[0097] Compared with the case where all the first dummy connection lines 54 and the second dummy connection lines 56 in FIGS. 4 and 5 are connected to the first power signal line 61, in the case shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, part of the first dummy connection lines 54 (the first connection lines 541) and part of the second dummy connection lines 56 (the third connection lines 561) are connected to the first power signal line 61, and the other part of the first dummy connection lines 54 (the second connection lines 542) and the other part of the second dummy connection lines 56 (the fourth connection lines 562) are connected to the initialization signal line 72. In this way, the resistance of the transmission path of the VSS signal is reduced, the voltage drop of the VSS signal during transmission is reduced, the resistance of the transmission path of the VAR signal is reduced, the voltage drop of the VAR signal during transmission is reduced, the uniformity of the VSS signal received by the cathode 24 of each region in the display area A1 is improved, and the uniformity of the VAR signal received by the anode 22 of each region is improved, so that the light-emitting device L in each region can emit light normally, and the display mura problem of the display panel 10 is improved.

[0098] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the plurality of initialization signal lines 72 include a first initialization signal line 721 passing through the hollowed-out area A3 and a second initialization signal line 722 located in the regular display area A4. The first initialization signal line 721 passing through the hollowed-out area A3 can mean that the first initialization signal line 721 overlaps the hollowed-out area A3 in the second direction Y.

[0099] The plurality of second connection lines 542 and the plurality of fourth connection lines 562 are connected to form a second mesh structure, the first initialization signal line 721 is connected to one of the second connection lines 542 in the second mesh structure, and the second initialization signal line 722 is connected to another of the second connection lines 542 in the second mesh structure.

[0100] It can be understood that the sub-pixel 2 in the hollowed-out area A3 is in a different environment from the sub-pixel 2 in the regular display area A4, and the VAR signal received by the anode 22 of the sub-pixel 2 will be different.

[0101] The first initialization signal line 721 passing through the cut-out area A3 is connected to one second connection line 542 in the second mesh structure, and the second initialization signal line 722 located in the regular display area A4 is connected to another second connection line 542 in the second mesh structure, so that the first initialization signal line 721 and the second initialization signal line 722 are connected to the same second mesh structure. Thus, the difference between the VAR signals transmitted by the first initialization signal line 721 and the second initialization signal line 722 can be reduced, thereby reducing the difference between the VAR signals received by the anode 22 of the cut-out area A3 and the anode 22 of the regular display area A4, improving the display brightness difference between the cut-out area A3 and the regular display area A4, and thus improving the display mura problem of the cut-out area A3.

[0102] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the plurality of first dummy connection lines 54 includes a plurality of groups of first connection lines 541 and a plurality of groups of second connection lines 542. Each group of first connection lines 541 includes at least one first connection line 541, and each group of second connection lines 542 includes at least one second connection line 542. In the second direction Y, a group of first connection lines 541 and a group of second connection lines 542 are arranged alternately.

[0103] The plurality of second dummy connection lines 56 includes a plurality of groups of third connection lines 561 and a plurality of groups of fourth connection lines 562. Each group of third connection lines 561 includes at least one third connection line 561, and each group of fourth connection lines 562 includes at least one fourth connection line 562. In the first direction X, a group of third connection lines 561 and a group of fourth connection lines 562 are arranged alternately.

[0104] In each group of first connection lines 541, each first connection line 541 is connected to at least one third connection line 561 in at least one group of third connection lines 561 and the first power signal line 61. In each group of second connection lines 542, each second connection line 542 is connected to at least one fourth connection line 562 in at least one group of fourth connection lines 562 and one initialization signal line 72.

[0105] The above embodiments of the present application divide the plurality of first dummy connection lines 54 into a plurality of groups of first connection lines 541 and a plurality of groups of second connection lines 542, each group of first connection lines 541 includes at least one first connection line 541, and each group of second connection lines 542 includes at least one second connection line 542. The plurality of second dummy connection lines 56 is divided into a plurality of groups of third connection lines 561 and a plurality of groups of fourth connection lines 562, each group of third connection lines 561 includes at least one third connection line 561, and each group of fourth connection lines 562 includes at least one fourth connection line 562.

[0106] In the second direction Y, a group of the first connection lines 541 and a group of the second connection lines 542 are arranged alternately, so that the groups of the first connection lines 541 and the groups of the second connection lines 542 are evenly distributed in the display area A1. In the first direction X, a group of the third connection lines 561 and a group of the fourth connection lines 562 are arranged alternately, so that the groups of the third connection lines 561 and the groups of the fourth connection lines 562 are evenly distributed in the display area A1. Thus, the number of the groups of the first connection lines 541 and the third connection lines 561 connected to the first power signal line 61 is close to the number of the groups of the second connection lines 542 and the fourth connection lines 562 connected to the initialization signal line 72, so that the resistance of the transmission path of the VSS signal and the resistance of the transmission path of the VAR signal can be reduced more, thereby ensuring the normal light emission of the light emitting devices L in each region.

[0107] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, each group of the first connection lines 541 includes one first connection line 541, and each group of the second connection lines 542 includes one second connection line 542. That is, in the second direction Y, one first connection line 541 and one second connection line 542 are arranged alternately.

[0108] In addition, each group of the third connection lines 561 includes one third connection line 561, and each group of the fourth connection lines 562 includes one fourth connection line 562, that is, in the first direction X, one third connection line 561 and one fourth connection line 562 are arranged alternately.

[0109] In the second direction Y, a group of the first connection lines 541 and a group of the second connection lines 542 are arranged alternately, so that the groups of the first connection lines 541 and the groups of the second connection lines 542 are evenly distributed in the display area A1. In the first direction X, a group of the third connection lines 561 and a group of the fourth connection lines 562 are arranged alternately, so that the groups of the third connection lines 561 and the groups of the fourth connection lines 562 are evenly distributed in the display area A1.

[0110] Therefore, half of the first dummy connection lines 54 (the first connection lines 541) are connected to the first power signal line 61, and the other half of the first dummy connection lines 54 (the second connection lines 542) are connected to the initialization signal line 72. Half of the second dummy connection lines 56 (the third connection lines 561) are connected to the first power signal line 61, and the other half of the second dummy connection lines 56 (the fourth connection lines 562) are connected to the initialization signal line 72. Thus, the ratio of the number of the first connection lines 541 and the third connection lines 561 connected to the first power signal line 61 to the number of the second connection lines 542 and the fourth connection lines 562 connected to the initialization signal line 72 is 1:1, which can further reduce the resistance of the transmission path of the VSS signal and the resistance of the transmission path of the VAR signal, thereby ensuring the normal light emission of the light emitting devices L in each region.

[0112] Referring to FIG. 8, each group of the first connection lines 541 includes a plurality of adjacent first connection lines 541, and each group of the second connection lines 542 includes a plurality of adjacent second connection lines 542. The plurality of first connection lines 541 and the plurality of second connection lines 542 are arranged alternately along the second direction Y.

[0113] In other words, the access VSS regions and the access VAR regions are divided alternately along the second direction Y. The plurality of first dummy connection lines 54 located in the access VSS regions serve as the plurality of first connection lines 541, so that the plurality of first connection lines 541 access the first power signal line 61 in the same region. The plurality of first dummy connection lines 54 located in the access VAR regions serve as the plurality of second connection lines 542, so that the plurality of second connection lines 542 access the initialization signal line 72 in the same region.

[0114] In some examples, along the second direction Y in FIG. 8, the access VAR regions, the access VSS regions, and the access VAR regions are divided in turn from top to bottom. In other examples, along the second direction Y, the access VSS regions, the access VAR regions, and the access VSS regions are divided in turn from top to bottom. In yet other examples, along the second direction Y, the access VAR regions, the access VSS regions, the access VAR regions, and the access VSS regions are divided in turn from top to bottom. The present application does not limit this.

[0115] Continuing to refer to FIG. 8, each group of the third connection lines 561 includes a plurality of adjacent third connection lines 561, and each group of the fourth connection lines 562 includes a plurality of adjacent fourth connection lines 562. The plurality of third connection lines 561 and the plurality of fourth connection lines 562 are arranged alternately along the first direction X.

[0116] In other words, the access VSS regions and the access VAR regions are divided alternately along the first direction X. The plurality of second dummy connection lines 56 located in the access VSS regions serve as the plurality of third connection lines 561, so that the plurality of third connection lines 561 access the first power signal line 61 in the same region. The plurality of second dummy connection lines 56 located in the access VAR regions serve as the plurality of fourth connection lines 562, so that the plurality of fourth connection lines 562 access the initialization signal line 72 in the same region.

[0117] In some examples, along the first direction X in FIG. 8, the access VAR region, the access VSS region and the access VAR region are sequentially divided from left to right. In other examples, along the first direction X, the access VSS region, the access VAR region and the access VSS region are sequentially divided from left to right. In yet other examples, along the first direction X, the access VAR region, the access VSS region, the access VAR region and the access VSS region are sequentially divided from left to right, and the present application does not limit this.

[0118] FIG. 9 is another top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0119] Referring to FIG. 9, the number of the first connection lines 541 in each group of the first connection lines 541 is greater than the number of the second connection lines 542 in each group of the second connection lines 542. That is, the majority of the first dummy connection lines 54 (the first connection lines 541) are connected to the first power signal line 61, and the minority of the first dummy connection lines 54 (the second connection lines 542) are connected to the initialization signal line 72.

[0120] Alternatively, the number of the third connection lines 561 in each group of the third connection lines 561 is greater than the number of the fourth connection lines 562 in each group of the fourth connection lines 562. That is, the majority of the second dummy connection lines 56 (the third connection lines 561) are connected to the first power signal line 61, and the minority of the second dummy connection lines 56 (the fourth connection lines 562) are connected to the initialization signal line 72.

[0121] Alternatively, the number of the third connection lines 561 in each group of the third connection lines 561 is greater than the number of the fourth connection lines 562 in each group of the fourth connection lines 562. That is, the majority of the second dummy connection lines 56 (the third connection lines 561) are connected to the first power signal line 61, and the minority of the second dummy connection lines 56 (the fourth connection lines 562) are connected to the initialization signal line 72.

[0122] It can be understood that the sum of the number of the first connection lines 541 and the third connection lines 561 connected to the first power signal line 61 is greater than the sum of the number of the second connection lines 542 and the fourth connection lines 562 connected to the initialization signal line 72, so that the decrease of the resistance of the transmission path of the VSS signal is greater than the decrease of the resistance of the transmission path of the VAR signal. In turn, the resistance of the transmission path of the VSS signal is smaller, and the voltage drop generated in the transmission process of the VSS signal is smaller, and in the case that the influence of the VSS signal on the operation of the light emitting device L is greater than the influence of the VAR signal, the influence on the operation of the light emitting device L can be better reduced.

That is, along the first direction X, three third connection lines 561 and one fourth connection line 562 are arranged alternately.

[0128] Based on this, the number of the first connection lines 541 is three times the number of the second connection lines 542, and the number of the third connection lines 561 is three times the number of the fourth connection lines 562. The ratio of the sum of the number of the first connection lines 541 and the third connection lines 561 connected to the first power signal line 61 to the sum of the number of the second connection lines 542 and the fourth connection lines 562 connected to the initialization signal line 72 is 3:1.

[0131] Therefore, the number of the first connection lines 541 is four times the number of the second connection lines 542, and the number of the third connection lines 561 is four times the number of the fourth connection lines 562. The ratio of the sum of the number of the first connection lines 541 and the third connection lines 561 connected to the first power signal line 61 to the sum of the number of the second connection lines 542 and the fourth connection lines 562 connected to the initialization signal line 72 is 4:1.

[0132] In the embodiments of the present application, the ratio of the sum of the number of the first connection lines 541 and the third connection lines 561 connected to the first power signal line 61 to the sum of the number of the second connection lines 542 and the fourth connection lines 562 connected to the initialization signal line 72 is not limited to the aforementioned 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 or 4:1, etc.

[0133] In addition, in the case where the influence of the VAR signal on the operation of the light emitting device L is greater than that of the VSS signal, the number of the second connection lines 542 in each group of the second connection lines 542 can be greater than the number of the first connection lines 541 in each group of the first connection lines 541.

[0137] Referring to FIGS. 10A and 10B, a first conductive layer K1 is formed on the substrate 21, which may, for example, include the source S and the drain D of the thin film transistor T, and is also referred to as a first source-drain conductive layer (SD1).

[0138] The first conductive layer K1 further includes an initialization signal line 72, a first connection line 541, and a second connection line 542. The initialization signal line 72, the first connection line 541, and the second connection line 542 all extend along the first direction X, and the initialization signal line 72, the first connection line 541, and the second connection line 542 are arranged along the second direction Y.

[0140] For example, referring to FIG. 10B, a first mask plate 91 can be used to form the first connection line 541 and the second connection line 542 synchronously in the process of forming the initialization signal line 72. That is, the initialization signal line 72, the first connection line 541, and the second connection line 542 can be formed synchronously by using the same mask plate, and no additional mask plate is needed to manufacture the first connection line 541 and the second connection line 542, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0141] Referring to FIG. 11, a dielectric layer (for example, the dielectric layer can include a passivation layer 26 and a first planarization layer 27) is formed on the side of the first conductive layer K1 away from the substrate 21, and the passivation layer 26 and the first planarization layer 27 cover the thin film transistor T in sequence.

[0142] Referring to FIGS. 12A and 12B, a second conductive layer K2 is formed on the side of the first planarization layer 27 away from the substrate 21, which may, for example, include the anode adapter structure 25, and the second conductive layer K2 can be referred to as a second source-drain conductive layer (SD2).

At the white hollow points in FIG. 12A, the fourth connection line 562 penetrates the passivation layer 26 and the first planarization layer 27 to be connected to the connection pattern 8 (the second connection line 542).

[0145] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 12B, the second mask plate 92 can be used to form the third connection line 561 and the fourth connection line 562 simultaneously in the process of forming the anode transfer structure 25. That is, the anode transfer structure 25, the third connection line 561 and the fourth connection line 562 can be formed simultaneously by using the same mask plate, and the third connection line 561 and the fourth connection line 562 do not need to be prepared by using additional mask plates, which is conducive to reducing the preparation cost.

[0146] Exemplarily, referring to FIGS. 13A and 13B, after the second conductive layer K2 is formed, the second planarization layer 28 and the third conductive layer K3 are formed on the side of the second conductive layer K2 away from the substrate 21. The third conductive layer K3 can include the anode 22, for example, and the third conductive layer K3 can be referred to as an anode layer.

[0147] The third conductive layer K3 further includes the first power signal line 61, which is arranged in the peripheral area A2. At the black solid point in FIG. 13A, the first power signal line 61 is connected to the first connection line 541 by penetrating the passivation layer 26, the first planarization layer 27 and the second planarization layer 28, and the first power signal line 61 is connected to the third connection line 561 by penetrating the second planarization layer 28.

[0148] The preparation method provided by the above embodiments of the present application forms the laminated first conductive layer K1, the dielectric layer (for example, the dielectric layer can include the passivation layer 26 and the first planarization layer 27) and the second conductive layer K2 on the substrate 21. The first conductive layer K1 includes the initialization signal line 72, the first connection line 541 and the second connection line 542, and the second conductive layer K2 includes the third connection line 561 and the fourth connection line 562.

[0149] The initialization signal line 72 and the second connection line 542 are located in the same conductive layer, the initialization signal line 72 can be directly connected to the second connection line 542, the fourth connection line 562 is connected to the second connection line 542 by penetrating the passivation layer 26 and the first planarization layer 27, and by connecting the second connection line 542 and the fourth connection line 562 to the initialization signal line 72, the resistance of the transmission path of the VAR signal is reduced, the voltage drop of the VAR signal in the transmission process is reduced, the uniformity of the VAR signal received by the anode 22 of each area is improved, the normal light emission of the light emitting device L of each area is ensured, and the display mura problem of the display panel 10 is improved.

[0150] Furthermore, the third connecting line 561 is connected with the first connecting line 541 through the passivation layer 26 and the first planarization layer 27. The first power signal line 61 is connected with the first connecting line 541 through the passivation layer 26, the first planarization layer 27 and the second planarization layer 28, and the first power signal line 61 is connected with the third connecting line 561 through the second planarization layer 28. By connecting the first connecting line 541 and the third connecting line 561 to the first power signal line 61, the resistance of the transmission path of the VSS signal is reduced, the voltage drop of the VSS signal in the transmission process is reduced, the uniformity of the VSS signal received by the cathode 24 in each region of the display area A1 is improved, and thus the normal light emission of the light emitting device L in each region is ensured, and the display mura problem of the display panel 10 is improved.
