[0111] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0112] For the purposes of the present disclosure, technical solutions and advantages, the following will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the specific form and content of the embodiments can be changed to various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed 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. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and brief, the detailed description of some known functions and known components is omitted. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only involve structures related to the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures can be referred to the generally designed
[0113] 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 diagrams of structures, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0114] In the present specification, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third", and the like are provided to avoid confusion of components, and are not intended to be limited in terms of quantity.
[0115] In the present specification, for the convenience of explanation, words indicating the orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like are used to explain the positional relationship of the components 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 components is appropriately changed according to the direction of describing each component. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the specification, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.
[0116] In this specification, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mount", "connected", and "linked" are to be interpreted broadly. For example, can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected via an intervening member, or internal communication of two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood in light of the specific circumstances for those skilled in the art.
[0117] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element including at least a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (a drain electrode terminal, a drain region, or a drain electrode) and a source electrode (a source electrode terminal, a source region, or a source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to a region where current flows mainly.
[0118] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or the first electrode can be a source electrode and the second electrode can be a drain electrode. The functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged with each other in the case of using a transistor whose polarity is reversed or in the case where the direction of current flowing in a circuit is changed, and the like. Therefore, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be interchanged with each other in this specification.
[0119] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes the case where elements are connected through an element having a certain electrical action. The element having a certain electrical action is not particularly limited as long as it can transmit or receive an electrical signal between elements to be connected. Examples of the element having a certain electrical action include an electrode and a wiring as well as a switching element such as a transistor, a resistor, an inductor, a capacitor, and an element having another function.
[0120] In this specification, "parallel" refers to 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" refers to 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.
[0121] In this specification, "film" and "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".
[0122] In the present specification, "co-deposition" refers to two (or more) structures formed by the same patterning process, and the materials of the two (or more) structures can be the same or different. For example, the materials of the precursors forming the two (or more) structures are the same, and the final materials of the two (or more) structures can be the same or different.
[0123] In the present specification, a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon, etc. are not strictly in the sense that they can be approximately a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon, etc. There can be some small deformation caused by tolerances, there can be lead angles, arc edges, and deformations, etc.
[0124] In the present disclosure, "about" refers to not strictly limited boundaries, allowing values within the range of process and measurement errors.
[0125] The OLED display substrate includes a pixel circuit, a light emitting element, and a gate drive circuit, wherein the gate drive circuit is configured to provide a gate signal to the pixel circuit, so that the pixel circuit can drive the light emitting element to emit light. At present, the gate drive circuit adopts a clock signal line for driving output, and there are problems of high frequency and large load of the clock signal line, and high power consumption of the gate drive circuit.
