[0096] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0097] It should be noted that in the drawings, the size and relative size of the elements can be exaggerated and / or simplified for the sake of clarity and / or description. Thus, the size and relative size of the various elements in the drawings are not necessarily to scale. In the description and drawings, identical or similar reference signs indicate identical or similar parts.

[0098] When an element is described as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, or "coupled to" another element, it can be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other element, or intervening elements can be present. In contrast, when an element is described as being "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other terms of description used herein, such as "between," "directly between," "adjacent to," "directly adjacent to," or "on" can be interpreted in a like fashion. In addition, the term "connected" can refer to physical or electrical connectivity, communicative connectivity, and / or fluidic connectivity. Furthermore, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are not limited to the three axes of a Cartesian coordinate system and can be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis can be perpendicular to each other, or can represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. For the purposes of the present disclosure, "at least one of X, Y, and Z" and "at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z" can be interpreted to include only X, only Y, only Z, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z such as XYZ, XY, YZ, and XZ. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated items.

[0099] It should be noted that, although the terms "first," "second," etc. can be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer and / or section from another element, component, region, layer and / or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer and / or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer and / or section without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure.

[0100] Spatially relative terms, such as "on", "above", "left", "right", and the like, can be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientations depicted in the figures. For example, if a device described is turned over, elements described as "below" or "under" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Likewise, if devices are turned over, elements described as "above" other elements or features would then be oriented "below" the other elements or features.

[0101] In this document, the terms“substantially,”“approximately,”“near- ly,”“about,” and other similar terms are used as terms of approximation and not as terms of degree, and they are intended to account for the inherent deviations in measured or calculated values that would be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art. Considering, for example, process variations, measurement difficulties, and errors associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., limitations of the measurement system),“about” or“approximately,” as used herein includes the stated value and means a range of values determined to be acceptable by one of ordinary skill in the art to the particular value. For example,“about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, ±20%, ±10%, ±5% of the stated value.

[0102] It should be noted that, in this document, the expression“same layer” refers to a layer structure formed by using a same film forming process to form a film layer for forming a specific pattern, and then patterning the film layer by a one-time patterning process using a same mask plate. Depending on the specific pattern, the one-time patterning process can include multiple exposure, development or etching processes, and the specific pattern in the formed layer structure can be continuous or discontinuous. That is, the multiple elements, components, structures and / or parts located in the“same layer” are composed of the same material and are formed by the same one-time patterning process, and generally, the multiple elements, components, structures and / or parts located in the“same layer” have substantially the same thickness.

[0103] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, in this document, unless otherwise specified, the expression“height” or“thickness” refers to the dimension along the surface of each film layer disposed perpendicularly to the display substrate, i.e., the dimension along the light-out direction of the display substrate, or the dimension along the normal direction of the display device.

[0104] In this document, the expression“transistor” can be a triode, a thin film transistor or a field effect transistor or other devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to distinguish the two poles of the transistor other than the control pole, one of the poles is referred to as the first pole and the other pole is referred to as the second pole. In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin film transistor or a field effect transistor, the first pole can be the drain and the second pole can be the source, or the first pole can be the source and the second pole can be the drain.
