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
[0091] The scale of the drawings in the present disclosure can be used as a reference in the actual process, but is not limited thereto. For example, the thickness and interval of each film layer, the width and interval of each signal line, can be adjusted according to the actual situation. 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.
[0092] In the present specification, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", and "third" are set in order to avoid confusion of components, and are not intended to be limiting in terms of numbers.
[0093] In the present specification, words indicating directions or positional relationships such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like are used to explain the positional relationship of components with reference to the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present specification and simplifying 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 construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the components is appropriately changed according to the direction of each component. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the specification, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.

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, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged with each other. Thus, in this specification, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be interchanged with each other, and the "source terminal" and the "drain terminal" can be interchanged with each other. In this embodiment of the disclosure, a gate electrode can be referred to as a control electrode.

An element having some function of electricity is not particularly limited as long as electric signals can be transmitted and received between components to be connected. Examples of an element having some function of electricity include not only an electrode and a wiring but also a switching element such as a transistor, a resistor, an inductor, a capacitor, and an element having another function.
[0098] 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.
[0099] In this specification, a "film" and a "layer" can be interchanged with each other. For example, a "conductive layer" can be replaced with a "conductive film". Similarly, an "insulating film" can be replaced with an "insulating layer".

[0125] With the development of OLED display technology and mobile communication technology, the power consumption requirement of the OLED display panel in a mobile device is increasingly small, that is, the power consumption of the OLED display panel needs to be reduced to support the long endurance of the mobile device (for example, a terminal such as a mobile phone), so reducing power consumption is one of the important issues of the OLED display panel. The OLED display panel is usually debugged by a Gamma module to adjust the signal voltage, brightness, gray scale, chroma, and power consumption of the OLED display panel. The Gamma module includes a voltage dividing unit, wherein the write black voltage VGMP (that is, the data write-in voltage corresponding to the low gray scale, which can be the voltage corresponding to the lowest gray scale) is the high voltage of the Gamma module, which controls the write black of the display panel. Therefore, the high and low of the black state voltage VGMP directly affects the power consumption of the OLED, and reducing the black state voltage VGMP can effectively reduce the power consumption of the OLED panel. The anode trace of the light emitting device is short and cannot form a large anode node capacitance. Such a pixel usually has a large write black voltage, resulting in large power consumption of the display panel.

[0127] The pixel driving circuit of the at least part of the sub-pixels forms a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, and among the plurality of anodes electrically connected to a row of the pixel driving circuits, an overlapping area of at least one anode and a pixel driving circuit of an adjacent row is greater than an overlapping area of the at least one anode and a row of the pixel driving circuits electrically connected thereto.
[0128] The display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can include a substrate and a plurality of sub-pixels arranged on the substrate, at least part of the sub-pixels including a pixel driving circuit, an anode and an anode connecting electrode, the pixel driving circuit being electrically connected to the anode through the anode connecting electrode in the same sub-pixel, and the anode being located on a side of the pixel driving circuit away from the substrate in a direction perpendicular to a plane in which the display substrate is located.
[0129] As shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b, the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can include a substrate and a plurality of sub-pixels arranged on the substrate, at least part of the sub-pixels including a pixel driving circuit, an anode 90 and an anode connecting electrode 83, the pixel driving circuit being electrically connected to the anode 90 through the anode connecting electrode 83 in the same sub-pixel, and the anode 90 being located on a side of the pixel driving circuit away from the substrate in a direction perpendicular to a plane in which the display substrate is located.
[0130] The pixel driving circuit of the at least part of the sub-pixels forms a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, and among the plurality of anodes 90 electrically connected to a row of the pixel driving circuits, an overlapping area of at least one anode 90 and a pixel driving circuit of an adjacent row is greater than an overlapping area of the at least one anode 90 and a row of the pixel driving circuits electrically connected thereto.
[0131] In the exemplary implementation, among the plurality of anodes 90 electrically connected to a row of the pixel driving circuits, an overlapping area of at least one anode 90 and a pixel driving circuit of an adjacent row is greater than an overlapping area of the at least one anode 90 and a row of the pixel driving circuits electrically connected thereto, which can increase a length dimension of the anode connecting electrode 83 electrically connected to the at least one anode 90.
[0132] In an example embodiment, the overlapping area of the at least one anode 90 and the pixel driving circuit of the adjacent row can be the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the at least one anode 90 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit of the adjacent row on the substrate; the overlapping area of the at least one anode 90 and the pixel driving circuit of the row to which the at least one anode 90 is electrically connected can be the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the at least one anode 90 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit of the row to which the at least one anode 90 is electrically connected on the substrate.
[0133] In an example embodiment, the at least part of the sub-pixels can include first-type sub-pixels PA1 and second-type sub-pixels PA2, and the length dimension L2 of the anode connecting electrode 83 in the second-type sub-pixels PA2 is greater than the length dimension L1 of the anode connecting electrode 83 in the first-type sub-pixels PA1.
[0134] In an example embodiment, among the plurality of anodes electrically connected to the row of pixel driving circuits, the anode 90 of the second-type sub-pixel PA2 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the pixel driving circuit of the adjacent row on the substrate, and the overlapping area of the anode 90 of the second-type sub-pixel PA2 and the pixel driving circuit of the adjacent row is greater than the overlapping area of the anode 90 of the second-type sub-pixel PA2 and the pixel driving circuit of the row to which the anode 90 is electrically connected, and the length dimension of the anode connecting electrode 83 of the second-type sub-pixel PA2 can be increased.
[0135] In an example embodiment, the length dimension L1 of the anode connecting electrode 83 of the second-type sub-pixel PA2 can be 5 microns to 15 microns.
[0136] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, lengthening the anode connecting electrode 83 in the second-type sub-pixel PA2 can increase the parasitic capacitance between the anode connecting electrode 83 in the second-type sub-pixel PA2 and the nearby signal line, thereby reducing the black writing voltage and reducing the power consumption of the display substrate. In an example embodiment, the black writing voltage VGMP of the display substrate refers to the voltage of the display substrate in the non-emitting state (that is, the voltage of the gray scale value of 0, which can be referred to as the black state voltage). In the case of increasing the parasitic capacitance between the anode connecting electrode 83 and the nearby signal line, the sub-pixel can emit light only after the capacitor is fully charged, and the black state voltage VGMP can be correspondingly reduced.
[0137] In the example embodiment, the parasitic capacitance between the anode 90 and the nearby signal lines can be increased by increasing the area of the anode 90, which will reduce the transmittance of the display substrate and result in a decrease in display effect compared to increasing the length of the anode connecting electrode 83. The example embodiment increases the parasitic capacitance and reduces the power consumption of the display substrate without affecting the transmittance of the display substrate by increasing the length of the anode connecting electrode 83. In the example embodiment, at least some of the sub-pixels can include a light-emitting device, and the pixel driving circuit is configured to drive the corresponding light-emitting device to emit light. The light-emitting device includes the anode 90, and the anode connecting electrode 83 is electrically connected to the corresponding anode 90. That is, increasing the size of the anode connecting electrode 83 and increasing the area of the anode 90 can both increase the parasitic capacitance between the anode of the light-emitting device and the nearby signal lines.
[0138] In the example embodiment, the anode 90 can include an anode main body part 901 and an anode connecting part 902. In the same sub-pixel, the anode connecting part 902 is electrically connected to the anode main body part 901 and the corresponding anode connecting electrode 83.
[0139] In the example embodiment, among the plurality of anodes 90 electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit of one row, the anode main body part 901 of the second type of sub-pixel PA2 has a footprint on the substrate within the footprint of the pixel driving circuit of the adjacent row on the substrate.
[0140] In the example embodiment, among the plurality of anodes 90 electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit of one row, the anode 90 of the first type of sub-pixel PA1 has a footprint on the substrate at least partially overlapping the footprint of the pixel driving circuit of the row on the substrate.
[0141] In the example embodiment, among the plurality of anodes 90 electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit of one row, the anode 90 of the first type of sub-pixel PA1 has a footprint on the substrate at least partially overlapping the footprint of the pixel driving circuit of the row on the substrate.
[0142] In the example embodiment, in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the display substrate, the display substrate can include a driving circuit layer and an anode conductive layer. The anode connecting electrode 83 can be located in the conductive layer closest to the anode conductive layer in the driving circuit layer, and the plurality of anodes 90 can be located in the anode conductive layer.
[0143] In the example embodiment, in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the display substrate, the driving circuit layer can include a fifth conductive layer and a sixth conductive layer. The sixth conductive layer is the conductive layer in the driving circuit layer closest to the anode conductive layer. The fifth conductive layer is located between the substrate and the sixth conductive layer, and the sixth conductive layer is located between the fifth conductive layer and the anode conductive layer.
[0144] The fifth conductive layer can include a first power supply connection line 73 (as shown in FIGS. 7a, 7b, 18a and 18b), the plurality of sub-pixels can include a plurality of types, and the plurality of types of sub-pixels can include at least the second sub-pixel P2. The orthogonal projection of the first power supply connection line 73 on the substrate at least partially overlaps the orthogonal projection of the anode 92 of the at least one second sub-pixel P2 on the substrate.
[0145] In an example embodiment, the second type of sub-pixel PA2 can include the second sub-pixel P2, the first power supply connection line 73 can include a first protruding portion 731, and among the plurality of anodes 90 electrically connected with the pixel driving circuit of one row of pixels, the orthogonal projection of the anode 92 of the second sub-pixel P2 on the substrate at least partially overlaps the orthogonal projection of the first protruding portion 731 in the pixel driving circuit of the adjacent row of pixels on the substrate. The first power supply connection line 73 can shield the signal of the data signal line 81, reduce the coupling of the voltage jump of the data signal line 81 to the anode 92 of the second sub-pixel P2, and thus reduce the interference to the anode 92 of the second sub-pixel P2.
[0146] In an example embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the anode 92 of the second sub-pixel P2 on the substrate can be located within the range of the orthogonal projection of the first protruding portion 731 in the pixel driving circuit of the adjacent row of pixels on the substrate. In the first aspect, the first protruding portion 731 can well shield the signal of the wiring in the film layer near the substrate side of the anode 92 of the second sub-pixel P2; in the second aspect, the flatness of the anode 92 of the second sub-pixel P2 can be improved; and in the third aspect, in the case where the second sub-pixel P2 is a sub-pixel emitting green light, the sub-pixel emitting green light is more sensitive and is prone to have uneven pictures (such as prone to have color deviation, horizontal lines, vertical lines, etc.). In the case where the flatness of the anode 92 of the second sub-pixel P2 is improved and the interference signal is shielded, the defect of the uneven picture of the second sub-pixel P2 is improved, and the display effect is improved to some extent.
[0147] In an example embodiment, the plurality of sub-pixels can further include a first sub-pixel P1 and a third sub-pixel P3, the first type of sub-pixel PA1 can include the first sub-pixel P1 and the third sub-pixel P3, the pixel driving circuit of at least part of the sub-pixels is arranged in an array, in the same row of pixel driving circuits, the pixel driving circuit of the first type of sub-pixel PA1 and the pixel driving circuit of the second type of sub-pixel PA2 are arranged alternately along the row direction X, and in the row direction X, the pixel driving circuit of the second sub-pixel P2 can be located between the pixel driving circuit of the first sub-pixel P1 and the pixel driving circuit of the third sub-pixel P3; the orthogonal projection of the first power supply connection line 73 and the pixel driving circuit of the adjacent two sub-pixels in one row of pixel driving circuits on the substrate at least partially overlaps.
[0148] The first power connection line 73 can further include a connection main body part 730 and two second protruding parts 732. In the same first power connection line 73, the two second protruding parts 732 are symmetric to the middle line W1-W1 of the first power connection line 73 extending in the column direction Y (as shown in FIG. 18b) in the row direction X; in the column direction Y, the first protruding part 731 can be located on one side of the connection main body part 730, and the two second protruding parts 732 can be located on the other side of the connection main body part 730.
[0149] The first protruding part 731 of the first power connection line 73 can be located on one side of the connection main body part 730 in the column direction Y, and the two second protruding parts 732 can be located on the other side of the connection main body part 730.
[0150] In the exemplary embodiments, the first sub-pixel P1 can be a sub-pixel emitting red light, the second sub-pixel P2 can be a sub-pixel emitting green light, and the third sub-pixel P3 can be a sub-pixel emitting blue light. In actual products, the first sub-pixel P1 and the third sub-pixel P3 are less likely to have high write voltage, and the problem of high power consumption is not serious, or even does not exist. The second sub-pixel P2 has high efficiency and is prone to have high power consumption. Therefore, in some exemplary embodiments, the second type of sub-pixel PA2 can include the second sub-pixel P2, and the first type of sub-pixel PA1 can include the first sub-pixel P1 and the third sub-pixel P3, that is, by increasing the length of the anode connecting electrode 83, the power consumption of the second sub-pixel P2 is reduced as much as possible.
[0151] In the exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7a and 20b, the sixth conductive layer can further include a first power line 82, and the first power line 82 can include a first power block 821 and two first power connection structures 822. In the same row of pixel driving circuits, the anode 92 of the second type of sub-pixel PA2, one of the first power blocks 821, and the first protruding part 731 in the corresponding first power connection line 73 at least partially overlap in the projection on the substrate; the anode 91 of the first type of sub-pixel PA1, the two second protruding parts 732 adjacent to each other in the two adjacent first power connection lines 73, and the two first power connection structures 822 adjacent to each other in the two adjacent first power lines 82 at least partially overlap in the projection on the substrate.
[0152] In the same column of pixel driving circuits, the two first power blocks 821 adjacent to each other can be connected to each other through the first power connection structure 822, and the pixel driving circuits in the same column of pixel driving circuits can receive signals from the first power line 82, which are basically consistent, thereby improving the display uniformity.

[0155] Of the two data signal lines 81 and the two first power supply connection structures 822 that overlap with the orthogonal projection of the anode 91 of the same first-type sub-pixel PA1 on the substrate, in the row direction X, one of the first power supply connection structures 822 is located on one side of the two data signal lines 81, and the other first power supply connection structure 822 is located on the other side of the two data signal lines 81, which can improve the symmetry of the anode 90 of the first-type sub-pixel PA and improve the display effect.
[0156] In the example embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7a-7d, the fifth conductive layer can further include a plurality of first data connection lines 71 extending along the row direction X and arranged at intervals along the column direction Y, and the sixth conductive layer can further include a plurality of second data connection lines 84 extending along the column direction Y and arranged at intervals along the row direction X; in the row direction X, the second data connection line 84 can be located between two adjacent data signal lines 81; in the column direction Y, the distance interval between two adjacent first data connection lines 71 is consistent with the size of one pixel driving circuit.
[0157] The plurality of data signal lines 81 can include a plurality of first-type data signal lines 811 and a plurality of second-type data signal lines 812, and in the row direction X, the first-type data signal lines 811 are located on the same side of the first median line Q1-Q1, and the second-type data signal lines 812 are located on the side of the first median line Q1-Q1 away from the first-type data signal lines 811, and the first median line Q1-Q1 is a median line of the display substrate extending along the column direction Y.
[0158] The first data connection line 71 is electrically connected to one of the second data connection lines 84 and one of the first-type data signal lines 811, and is configured to transmit the data signal of the one of the second data connection lines 84 to the first-type data signal line 811 electrically connected thereto; of the first-type data signal lines 811 and the second data connection lines 84 electrically connected to the same first data connection line 71, in the row direction X, the distance between the first-type data signal line 811 and the first median line Q1-Q1 is greater than the distance between the second data connection line 84 and the first median line Q1-Q1.
[0159] In the example embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the anode of the first type of sub-pixel PA1 on the substrate can also at least partially overlap with the orthogonal projection of one of the second data connection lines 84 on the substrate;
[0160] Among the two data signal lines 81, the two first power connection structures 822 and the second data connection line 84 that overlap with the orthogonal projection of the anode of the same first type of sub-pixel PA1 on the substrate, in the row direction X, the two data signal lines 81 can be symmetrical relative to the second data connection line 84, and the two first power connection structures 822 can be symmetrical relative to the second data connection line 84, which can improve the symmetry of the anode 90 of the first type of sub-pixel PA, thereby improving the display effect.
[0161] In the example embodiment, the two data signal lines 81 are symmetrical relative to the second data connection line 84, which can be approximately symmetrical relative to the second data connection line 84; and the two first power connection structures 822 are symmetrical relative to the second data connection line 84, which can be approximately symmetrical relative to the second data connection line 84.
[0162] With the development of OLED display technology, consumers have higher and higher requirements for the display effect of display products, and extremely narrow frame has become a new trend of display product development, so the narrow frame or even frameless design is paid more and more attention in the design of OLED display products. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the narrow design of the lower frame (the first frame area B1) of the display device is more difficult; the FIAA (Fanout in AA, FIAA for short) or FIP (Fanout In Panel, FIP for short) technology is adopted in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 7c and FIG. 7d, the data fanout line (i.e. the first data connection line 71 and the second data connection line 84) is located in the display area (Fanout in AA, FIAA for short) structure, for example, as shown in FIG. 7c and FIG. 7d, one end of at least part of the second data connection line 84 is located in the display area of the display substrate, and is connected with the plurality of first data signal lines 811 in the display area AA through at least part of the first data connection line 71 (one first data connection line 71 and one second data connection line 84 and one first data signal line 811 are electrically connected, that is, one second data connection line 84 and one first data signal line 811 can be electrically connected one by one through the first data connection line 71), and the other end of at least part of the second data connection line 84 extends to the first frame area B1 and is connected with the integrated circuit located in the first frame area B1. Since the fan-shaped diagonal line does not need to be arranged in the first frame area B1, the width of the fanout area is reduced, and the width of the lower frame (i.e. the first frame area B1) of the display substrate is effectively reduced.
[0163] In an example embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7c and FIG. 7e, in a plane parallel to the display substrate, the display substrate can include a display area AA and a first frame area B1, and in the column direction Y, the first frame area B1 can be located on one side of the display area AA, and at least part of the conductive layer in the driving circuit layer is provided with a bending mark M1 in the first frame area B1.
[0164] In an example embodiment, in a direction perpendicular to the plane in which the display substrate is located, the driving circuit layer further includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer and a third conductive layer, the first conductive layer is located between the substrate and the second conductive layer, the second conductive layer is located between the first conductive layer and the third conductive layer, and the third conductive layer is located between the second conductive layer and the fifth conductive layer, and the bending mark can be located in at least one of the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer and the third conductive layer. For example, the bending mark M1 can be located in any one of the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer and the third conductive layer.
[0165] In an example embodiment, the material of the bending mark M1 can be metal, for example, the material of the bending mark M1 can be molybdenum.
[0166] In the example embodiment, the bending mark M1 can be arranged in one or more of the fourth conductive layer, the fifth conductive layer, and the sixth conductive layer. Due to the design of the narrow frame of the display substrate, in the first frame area B1, the fourth conductive layer can not be provided with an insulating layer on the side away from the substrate. In the case where the fourth conductive layer, the fifth conductive layer, and the sixth conductive layer are not provided with an insulating layer on the side away from the substrate, the bending mark M1 is not protected by the insulating layer (i.e., not protected by the inorganic layer) on the side away from the substrate, and the bending mark M1 is prone to corrosion. The packaging of the edge of the display substrate on the side close to the first frame area B1 can have a risk of signal loss (i.e., the bending mark M1 is prone to corrosion or wear). After the bending mark M1 is corroded, it is usually difficult to distinguish. In addition, the bending mark M1 can be arranged in the first semiconductor layer, and one or more of the fourth conductive layer, the fifth conductive layer, and the sixth conductive layer need to be used as a substrate reflector. Since the fourth conductive layer, the fifth conductive layer, and the sixth conductive layer are prone to corrosion due to the lack of protection of the insulating layer, the bending mark M1 in the first semiconductor layer also has a risk of signal loss (i.e., the bending mark M1 is prone to corrosion or wear). Therefore, the example embodiment of the present disclosure uses one or more of the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, and the third conductive layer as the bending mark. Since the third conductive layer in the first frame area B1 is provided with an insulating layer on the side away from the substrate, in the case of a narrow frame, there is no risk of signal loss, and the corrosion resistance of the bending mark M1 can be improved.
[0167] In the example embodiment, the first frame area B1 is provided with a bending area a2, and the bending mark M1 can be located in the bending area a2.
[0168] In the example embodiment, the minimum distance L3 between the bending mark M1 and the adjacent signal line can be 5 microns to 20 microns, i.e., the bending mark M1 is provided with a clearance area of 5 microns to 20 microns adjacent to the signal line, which can prevent the bending mark M1 and the adjacent signal line from being separated.
[0169] In the example embodiment, the shape of the bending mark M1 is a cross or a T shape. The shape of the bending mark M1 is not limited thereto and can be well distinguished.
[0170] In the exemplary embodiments, in the structure in which the bending mark M1 is T-shaped: the size H1 of the bending mark M1 along the row direction X can be 120 microns to 170 microns, for example, the size H1 of the bending mark M1 along the row direction X can be 150 microns; the size H1 of the bending mark M1 along the column direction Y can be 80 microns to 120 microns, for example, the size H2 of the bending mark M1 along the column direction Y can be 100 microns; the bending mark M1 can include a first structure part M11 extending along the row direction X and a second structure part M12 extending along the column direction Y, the second structure part M12 is connected to the middle part of the first structure part M11 at one end close to the display area AA, the size H3 of the first structure part M11 along the column direction Y can be 20 microns to 80 microns, for example, the size H1 of the first structure part M11 along the column direction Y can be 50 microns; the size H4 of the second structure part M12 along the row direction X can be 20 microns to 80 microns, for example, the size H4 of the second structure part M12 along the row direction X can be 50 microns.
[0171] In the exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7e, in the column direction Y, at least one blocking dam C1 can be arranged on the side of the bending area a2 away from the display area AA, for example, the number of the blocking dam C1 can be four, the blocking dam C1 can extend along the row direction X, and a cutting line can be arranged on the side of the blocking dam C1 away from the bending area a2, so that the crack generated when cutting along the cutting line can not extend to the bending area a2. In the exemplary embodiments, the blocking dam C1 can be a groove of the insulating layer, a plurality of insulating layers can be arranged in the first bezel area B1 in the direction perpendicular to the plane where the display substrate is located, the insulating layer closest to the substrate side at the position corresponding to the blocking dam C1 cannot be etched through, and the insulating layer away from the substrate side can be etched through to form the blocking dam C1.
