Referring to Figs. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 10, which includes a pixel circuit 100 and a signal line 200. The pixel circuit 100 includes a data writing transistor 110 and a voltage adjusting transistor 120. The signal line 200 includes a data signal line 210 and a voltage adjusting signal line 220. The data signal line 210 is electrically connected with a first electrode of the data writing transistor 110, and the voltage adjusting signal line 220 is electrically connected with a first electrode of the voltage adjusting transistor 120. A plurality of data signal lines 210 extend along a first direction X and are arranged along a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. The display panel 10 further includes a display area AA and a fan-out area A1 located at one side of the display area AA. The display area AA includes a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2. The second display area AA2 is located at least one side of the first display area AA1. The fan-out area A1 includes a plurality of fan-out wires S0. The first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 each include a plurality of data signal lines 210. The data signal line 210 is connected with the fan-out wire S0. The data signal line 210 of the second display area AA2 is connected with the fan-out wire S0 through a data connection wire L0 located in the display area AA. The display panel 10 further includes a virtual connection wire L3 located in the display area AA. The virtual connection wire L3 is insulatively arranged with the data connection wire L0 and there is a virtual connection wire L3 and a data connection wire L0 arranged in the same layer. At least part of the voltage adjusting signal line 220 includes the virtual connection wire L3.
[0075] An embodiment of the present application provides a display panel. A pixel circuit of the display panel includes a data writing transistor and a voltage adjusting transistor. The data writing transistor is electrically connected with a data signal line, and the voltage adjusting transistor is electrically connected with a voltage adjusting signal line. The data signal line is located in a display area of the display panel, and a fan-out wire is located in a fan-out area of the display panel. The data signal line located in a first display area is electrically connected with the fan-out wire, and the data signal line located in a second display area is electrically connected with the fan-out wire through a data connection wire. The display panel further includes a virtual connection wire located in the display area. The virtual connection wire is insulatively arranged with the data connection wire and arranged in the same layer. Part of the voltage adjusting signal line includes the virtual connection wire. In this way, the utilization rate of the wires in the display panel can be improved. By multiplexing the virtual connection wire as the voltage adjusting signal line, the voltage adjusting signal line can be saved in the original setting film layer of the voltage adjusting signal line, the wiring space of the original setting film layer of the display panel is improved, and the yield is improved, and the process preparation cost of the display panel is reduced.
[0076] Referring to FIG. 1, the display panel 10 includes a pixel circuit 100, which is electrically connected with a light emitting element 300 in the display panel 10, to realize the driving of the light emitting element 300 and ensure the light emitting display of the light emitting element 300. The display panel 10 further includes a signal line 200, which is configured to provide a voltage signal and / or a current signal to the pixel circuit 100, so as to realize the driving of the light emitting element 300 by the pixel circuit 100. The pixel circuit 100 includes a data writing transistor 110 and a voltage regulating transistor 120, and the signal line 200 includes a data signal line 210 and a voltage regulating signal line 220, wherein the data signal line 210 is electrically connected with the data writing transistor 110, and the voltage regulating signal line 220 is electrically connected with the voltage regulating transistor 120. Since the setting mode of the pixel circuit 100 has diversity, the structure of the pixel circuit 100 is not shown in FIG. 1, and the electrical connection positions of the transistors in the signal line 200 and the pixel circuit 100 are not explicitly shown, so that the electrical connection relationship between the two is only shown in the figure by the way that the signal line 200 and the pixel circuit 100 overlap, but it is not limited to the position and area of the overlap.
[0077] The setting mode of the pixel circuit 100 has diversity. For example, referring to FIG. 2, the pixel circuit 100 is exemplified as “7T1C”. Based on the setting mode of the pixel circuit 100, those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustment according to the needs. Referring to FIG. 2, the pixel circuit 100 can include a first light emitting control transistor T1, a data writing transistor T2, a driving transistor T3, a threshold compensation transistor T4, an initialization reset transistor T5, a second light emitting control transistor T6, an anode reset transistor T7 and a storage capacitor Cst. Optionally, the types of the transistors in the pixel circuit 100 can have diversity. The transistors can include a low temperature poly-silicon transistor (LTPS), which has the advantages of high switching speed, high carrier mobility and small power.
[0078] For the timing operation of the pixel circuit 100, referring to FIG. 3, the scan signal line (shown as S1 in the figure) connected to the control terminal of the initialization reset transistor T5 can control the on and off of the initialization reset transistor T5, and write the reset signal in the voltage adjustment signal line 220 (shown as the initialization reset signal line Vref1 in the figure) connected to the input terminal of the initialization reset transistor T5 to the gate of the driving transistor T3 when the initialization reset transistor T5 is on, to reset the first node N1. The storage capacitor Cst can ensure the stability of the potential of the first node N1. The scan signal line (shown as S3 in the figure) connected to the control terminal of the data writing transistor T2 can control the on and off of the data writing transistor T2, and write the data signal on the data signal line (shown as Vdata in the figure) to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3 when the data writing transistor T2 is on. The scan signal line (shown as S2 in the figure) connected to the control terminal of the threshold compensation transistor T4 can control the on and off of the threshold compensation transistor T4, and compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3 when the threshold compensation transistor T4 is on; at the same time, the scan signal line (shown as S3 in the figure) connected to the control terminal of the anode reset transistor T7 can control the on and off of the anode reset transistor T7, and reset the anode of the light emitting element 300 connected to the pixel circuit 100 when the anode reset transistor T7 is on, i.e. write the reset signal on the voltage adjustment signal line 220 (shown as the anode reset signal line Vref2 in the figure) to the anode of the light emitting element 300. The light emitting control signal line Emit connected to the control terminal of the first light emitting control transistor T1 and the control terminal of the second light emitting control transistor T6 can control the on and off of the control terminal of the first light emitting control transistor T1 and the second light emitting control transistor T6, and write the power supply signal transmitted by the power supply signal line PVDD to the light emitting element 300 when the first light emitting control transistor T1 and the second light emitting control transistor T6 are on, to realize the display and light emission of the light emitting element 300. For example, referring to FIG. 3, one frame time of the display panel 10 at least includes an initialization writing stage Y1, a data writing stage Y2 and a light emitting stage Y3. In the initialization stage Y1, the initialization reset transistor T5 is on under the control of the scan signal S1, the reset signal in the initialization reset signal line Vref1 is written to the first node N1 electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor T3, to initialize the gate of the driving transistor T3, and at the same time, since the threshold compensation transistor T4 is on, the reset signal in the initialization reset signal line Vref1 is also written to the second electrode of the driving transistor T3, i.e. the N3 node.In the data writing stage Y2, the data writing transistor T2 is turned on under the control of the scanning signal S3, and the threshold compensation transistor T4 is turned on under the control of the scanning signal S2, so that the data signal Vdata is written into the gate of the driving transistor T3 through the data writing transistor T2, the driving transistor T3 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 in turn. At the same time, in the data writing stage Y2, the anode reset transistor T7 is turned on under the control of the scanning signal S3, so that the reset signal in the anode reset signal line Vref2 is written into the anode of the light emitting element 300, and the anode of the light emitting element 300 is initialized. In the light emitting stage Y3, the first light emitting transistor T1 and the second light emitting control transistor T6 are turned on under the control of the light emitting control signal Emit, so that the driving transistor T3 generates a driving current and transmits the driving current to the anode of the light emitting element 300, and the light emitting element 300 is driven to emit light.
[0079] For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in the pixel circuit 100, the data writing transistor 110 includes the data writing transistor T2, the voltage adjusting transistor 120 can include the initialization reset transistor T5 and the anode reset transistor T7, the data signal Vdata is transmitted in the data signal line 210, the voltage adjusting signal line 220 connected with the initialization reset transistor T5 is the initialization reset signal line Vref1, and the voltage adjusting signal line 220 connected with the anode reset transistor T7 is the anode reset signal line Vref2. In different pixel circuits 100, the number and position of the transistors can be adjusted adaptively, and the number and position of the data writing transistor 110 and the voltage adjusting transistor 120 can also be adjusted adaptively.
[0080] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the display panel 10 includes a display area AA and a non-display area NA, the display area AA includes a light emitting element and a data signal line 210 connected with the light emitting element, and the display area AA is configured to realize the display function of the display panel 10. The non-display area NA includes a display controller connected with the data signal line 210, such as a driving chip, and the display controller provides a display signal to the data signal line 210, and the display panel 10 is driven to realize the display function. The non-display area NA surrounds at least part of the display area AA, and the positions of the display area AA and the non-display area NA are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0081] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the non-display area NA further includes a fan-out area A1, the fan-out area A1 includes a plurality of fan-out lines S0, and the fan-out lines S0 are electrically connected with the plurality of data signal lines 210, so as to ensure stable transmission of the data signal.
[0082] Exemplarily, the display area AA includes a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2, the second display area AA2 is located on both sides of the first display area AA1, and the second display area AA2 is closer to the boundary of the display area AA than the first display area AA1. Among them, the data signal lines 210 in the first display area AA1 extend along the first direction X and are arranged along the second direction Y, and the data signal lines 210 can be directly electrically connected with the fan-out wire S0; the data signal lines 210 in the second display area AA2 also extend along the first direction X and are arranged along the second direction Y, and the data signal lines 210 are electrically connected with the fan-out wire S0 through the data connection wire L0, so that the occupied space of the fan-out wire S0 can be reduced, and the setting area of the fan-out area A1 is further reduced, the proportion of the non-display area NA is effectively reduced, the proportion of the display area AA of the display panel 10 is increased, and the display effect of the display panel 10 is increased.
[0083] Exemplarily, the display panel 10 further includes a virtual connection wire L3 located in the display area AA, the virtual connection wire L3 is insulated from the data connection wire L0 but is arranged in the same layer, and the virtual connection wire L3 can also ensure the uniformity of the overall wire arrangement, and will not affect the normal transmission of the signal in the data connection wire L0. For example, the virtual connection wire L3 can be arranged in the area where the data connection wire L0 does not extend. That is, by arranging the virtual connection wire L3, the data connection wire L0 setting area is uniformly arranged in the whole, the density of wire arrangement in different areas is balanced, and the light reflectivity of different areas in the display panel 10 caused by unbalanced wire arrangement is avoided, and the display effect of the display panel 10 is avoided. The display panel 10 is not balanced.
[0084] The virtual connection wire L3 arranged in the display panel 10 is insulated from the data connection wire L0, and the virtual connection wire L3 does not originally transmit data signals, but in order to ensure the uniformity of the display panel 10, the virtual connection wire L3 is additionally arranged in the display panel 10. At least part of the additionally arranged virtual connection wire L3 can be reused as a voltage adjustment signal line 220, and the original wire part of the part of the voltage adjustment signal line 220 can be removed. It can be understood that part of the voltage adjustment signal line 220 is removed, and the virtual connection wire L3 is used for signal transmission. In this way, the utilization rate of the metal wire in the display panel 10 can be improved, and the wiring space of the original voltage adjustment signal line setting film layer is improved, which is beneficial to improve the yield and reduce the process preparation cost of the display panel 10.
[0085] The display panel 10 is overlapped by multiple film layers, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a film layer structure of a first pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present application. The film layer structure of the pixel circuit 100 shown in FIG. 5 can correspond to the pixel circuit 100 shown in FIG. 2. The film layer structure of the pixel circuit 100 can be, from bottom to the light-emitting side of the display panel 10, a substrate 500, a buffer layer 510, a first semiconductor layer 520, a first insulating layer 530, a first metal layer 540, an interlayer insulating layer 550, a second metal layer 560, a second insulating layer 570, a fourth metal layer 580, a third insulating layer 590, a fifth metal layer 5100, a planarization layer 5110, and an anode layer 5120. The film layer structure of the pixel circuit 100 can be adjusted as needed, such as adding or removing some film layers. Any of the above film layers can include at least one sub-layer, which is not limited in the present application.
[0086] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a film layer structure of a first display panel according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the first semiconductor layer to the fourth metal layer in FIG. 6. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the fourth metal layer to the fifth metal layer in FIG. 6. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of the first semiconductor layer in FIG. 6. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the first metal layer in FIG. 6. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of the second metal layer in FIG. 6. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of the fourth metal layer in FIG. 6. FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of the fifth metal layer in FIG. 6. FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of an anode layer in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application. If the pixel circuit 100 in the display panel 10 is the pixel circuit 100 shown in FIG. 2, the film layer structure of the display panel 10 can be shown in FIG. 6, and FIG. 7 to FIG. 13 are used to show different film layers in FIG. 6 from bottom to top.
[0087] For example, referring to Figs. 6-14, in the film layer structure corresponding to the pixel circuit 100, referring to Figs. 12 and 13, part of the virtual connection wire L3 is located in the film layer where the fourth metal layer 580 is located (see the virtual connection wire L3 in Fig. 12), and part of the virtual connection wire L3 is located in the film layer where the fifth metal layer 5100 is located (see the virtual connection wire L3 in Fig. 13). Part of the voltage adjustment signal line 220 electrically connected to the initialization reset transistor T5 is located in the film layer where the second metal layer 560 is located (see the initialization reset signal line Vref1 in Fig. 11). Part of the voltage adjustment signal line 220 electrically connected to the initialization reset transistor T5 is also located in the film layer where the fifth metal layer 5100 is located (see the initialization reset signal line Vref1 in Fig. 13), at this time, the virtual connection wire L3 is multiplexed as the initialization reset signal line Vref1, that is, the voltage adjustment signal line 220 includes the virtual connection wire L3. Part of the voltage adjustment signal line 220 electrically connected to the anode reset transistor T7 is located in the film layer where the second metal layer 560 is located (see the anode reset signal line Vref2 in Fig. 11). Part of the voltage adjustment signal line 220 electrically connected to the anode reset transistor T7 is also located in the film layer where the fifth metal layer 5100 is located (see the anode reset signal line Vref2 in Fig. 13), at this time, the virtual connection wire L3 is multiplexed as the anode reset signal line Vref2, that is, the voltage adjustment signal line 220 includes the virtual connection wire L3.
[0088] Figs. 15 and 16 are structural schematic diagrams of the fourth metal layer and the fifth metal layer in the related art, respectively. In Fig. 15, part of the initialization reset signal line Vref1 and part of the anode reset signal line Vref2 are not arranged in the film layer where the fifth metal layer 5100 is located, that is, the voltage adjustment signal line does not include the virtual connection wire L3. Correspondingly, part of the initialization reset signal line Vref1 needs to be arranged in another metal layer, that is, referring to Fig. 15, part of the initialization reset signal line Vref1 is located in the film layer where the fourth metal layer 580 is located. Similarly, referring to Fig. 15, part of the anode reset signal line Vref2 is located in the film layer where the fourth metal layer 580 is located. Therefore, referring to Figs. 13 and 16, the virtual connection wire L3 which does not transmit data signals is multiplexed as the voltage adjustment signal line 220 in the embodiment of the present application, so as to improve the utilization rate of the wire. Referring to Figs. 15 and 12, the wire originally arranged in the fourth metal layer 580 can be moved to the fifth metal layer 5100 in the embodiment of the present application, so that the voltage adjustment signal line 220 in the fourth metal layer 580 can be removed, so as to improve the wiring space of the film layer where the voltage adjustment signal line 220 of the display panel 10 is arranged, and also helps to improve the yield and reduce the process preparation cost of the display panel 10.

Similarly, part of the virtual connection wire L3 is multiplexed as the voltage adjustment signal line 220, which is different from the multiplexing of the virtual connection wire L3 provided in FIGS. 6 to 14, but the film layer arrangement between the first semiconductor layer 520 and the second metal layer 560 is the same, and thus no further description is given here.
[0090] Optionally, FIG. 22 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a second pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 23 is a timing of an embodiment of signals provided to the pixel circuit shown in FIG. 22 in one driving period. For the arrangement of the pixel circuit 100, reference can also be made to FIG. 22, and the pixel circuit 100 is exemplarily illustrated as "8T1C".

The working process of the pixel circuit 100 is similar to that of the pixel circuit 100 corresponding to FIG. 2, and thus no further description is given here. Exemplarily, in the pixel circuit 100 of FIG. 22, the scan signal line (shown as Sp in the figure) connected to the control end of the bias transistor T8 can control the turn-on and turn-off of the bias transistor T8, and when the bias transistor T8 is turned on, the bias signal transmitted by the voltage adjustment signal line 220 (shown as the bias adjustment signal line DVH in the figure) is written to the bias transistor T8, and the second node N2 is biased and adjusted. Optionally, the types of the transistors in the pixel circuit 100 can be diverse. In addition to low-temperature polysilicon transistors, the transistors can also include oxide transistors (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide, IGZO), which have the advantages of small leakage current, and the low-temperature polysilicon transistors have the advantages of high switching speed, high carrier mobility, and small power. Referring to FIG. 2, the pixel circuit 100 can include low-temperature polysilicon transistors, or referring to FIG. 22, the pixel circuit 100 can simultaneously include oxide transistors and low-temperature polysilicon transistors, and the types of the transistors in the pixel circuit 100 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

The biasing level of the biasing signal line DVH in the data writing stage Y1 and the light emitting stage Y2 can be the same as or different from the biasing level of the biasing signal line DVH in the light emitting maintaining stage Y3 (shown in FIG. 23). For example, the data writing stage Y1 includes a first biasing stage Y11. In the first biasing stage Y11, the signal transmitted by the scan signal line SP includes at least one low voltage period, and the signal transmitted by the scan signal line S2N includes at least one high voltage period. In other words, in the first biasing stage Y11, at least the biasing transistor T8 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 are turned on, the biasing signal of the biasing signal line DVH is transmitted to the driving transistor T3 through the biasing transistor T8, and is further transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T3 through the threshold compensation transistor T4. In other words, in the first biasing stage Y11, the biasing signal can be used to bias the first node N1, the second node N2, and the third node N3. The data writing stage Y1 further includes an initialization and second biasing stage Y12. In the initialization and second biasing stage Y12, the signal transmitted by the scan signal line S1N includes at least one high voltage period, and the signal transmitted by the scan signal line S2N includes at least one high voltage period. In other words, in the initialization and second biasing stage Y12, the initialization transistor T5 is turned on, and the threshold compensation transistor T4 is turned on later. The initialization reset signal line Vref1 can be used to adjust the gate of the driving transistor T3 through the initialization transistor T5, and can be used to adjust the third node N3 through the initialization transistor T5 and the threshold compensation transistor T4. The data writing stage Y1 further includes a data signal writing stage Y13. In the data signal writing stage Y13, the signal transmitted by the scan signal line S2N includes a high voltage period, and the signal transmitted by the scan signal line SP* includes at least one low voltage period. In other words, in the data signal writing stage Y13, the data writing transistor T2 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 are turned on, and the data signal Vdata can be transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T3 through the data writing transistor T2 and the threshold compensation transistor T4.The data writing stage Y1 further comprises a third bias adjusting stage Y14, in which the signal transmitted by the scan signal line SP comprises at least one low level period, and the second node N2 can be further biased by the bias transistor T8 during the time period.

[0100] Referring to FIGS. 41-48, in the film layer structure corresponding to the pixel circuit 100, referring to FIGS. 46 and 47, part of the virtual connection wire L3 is located in the film layer where the fourth metal layer 580 is located (see the virtual connection wire L3 in FIG. 46), and part of the virtual connection wire L3 is located in the film layer where the fifth metal layer 5100 is located (see the virtual connection wire L3 in FIG. 47).

[0101] FIG. 49 is a structural schematic diagram of a fourth metal layer in the related art, and FIG. 50 is a structural schematic diagram of a fifth metal layer in the related art. In FIG. 50, part of the bias adjustment signal line DVH and part of the anode reset signal line Vref2 are not disposed in the film layer where the fifth metal layer 5100 is located, that is, the voltage adjustment signal line 220 does not include the virtual connection wire L3. Instead, part of the bias adjustment signal line DVH needs to be disposed in another metal layer, that is, referring to FIG. 49, part of the bias adjustment signal line DVH is located in the film layer where the fourth metal layer 580 is located. Similarly, referring to FIG. 49, part of the anode reset signal line Vref2 is located in the film layer where the fourth metal layer 580 is located. Therefore, in combination with FIGS. 47 and 50, the virtual connection wire L3 that does not transmit data signals is multiplexed as the voltage adjustment signal line 220 in the embodiments of the present application, thereby improving the utilization rate of the wire. In combination with FIGS. 46 and 49, the wire originally located at the fourth metal layer 580 can be moved to the fifth metal layer 5100 in the embodiments of the present application, and thus the voltage adjustment signal line 220 at the fourth metal layer 580 can be removed, thereby improving the wiring space of the film layer where the voltage adjustment signal line 220 of the display panel 10 is disposed, and also being beneficial to improving the yield and reducing the process preparation cost of the display panel 10.

Referring to FIGS. 51 to 55, the corresponding pixel circuit 100 is also the pixel circuit 100 shown in FIG. 39. Similarly, part of the virtual connection wire L3 is multiplexed as the voltage adjustment signal line 220. The multiplexing of the virtual connection wire L3 in FIGS. 51 to 55 is different from that in FIGS. 40 to 48, but the film layer arrangement between the first semiconductor layer 520 and the second metal layer 560 is the same, and thus is not described here.
[0103] In summary, the display panel provided by the embodiments of the present application sets part of the voltage adjustment signal lines to include virtual connection wires. In this way, the utilization rate of the wires in the display panel can be improved, the pixel space of the display panel can be improved, the yield can be improved, the process preparation cost of the display panel can be reduced, and the display effect of the display panel can be improved.
[0104] With reference to FIGS. 4 to 13, 17 to 34, 40 to 47, 51 to 55, the data connection wire L0 includes a first data connection line segment L1 extending along the first direction X; the virtual connection wire L3 includes a first virtual connection line segment L31 extending along the first direction X, and the first virtual connection line segment L31 is arranged in the same layer as and insulated from the first data connection line segment L1; and the voltage adjustment signal line 220 includes a first voltage adjustment signal line 221, and the first virtual connection line segment L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221.
[0105] Referring to FIG. 4, the data connection wire L0 includes the first data connection line segment L1 extending along the first direction X and the second data connection line segment L2 extending along the second direction Y. The first data connection line segment L1 and the second data connection line segment L2 can be arranged in different film layers and electrically connected by a via.
[0106] The first virtual connection line segment L31 and the second virtual connection line segment L32 are insulated from the first data connection line segment L1 and the second data connection line segment L2, respectively. The virtual connection line L3 can ensure the uniformity of the lines and does not affect the normal transmission of signals in the data connection line L0. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6, 10, 9, 17-21, 40, 46, 47, 51-55, the first virtual connection line segment L31 can be located at the film layer of the fifth metal layer 5100, and the second virtual connection line segment L32 can be located at the film layer of the fourth metal layer 580. As shown in FIGS. 25, 33, and 34, the first virtual connection line segment L31 can be located at the film layer of the fifth metal layer 6140, and the second virtual connection line segment L32 can be located at the film layer of the fourth metal layer 6120.
[0107] For example, the voltage adjustment signal line 220 includes the first voltage adjustment signal line 221, and the first virtual connection line segment L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221. It can be understood that the original first voltage adjustment signal line 221 in the voltage adjustment signal line 220 can be removed, and the first virtual connection line segment L31 is used as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221. In this way, the original first voltage adjustment signal line 221 can be removed, which is beneficial to improve the pixel space of the display panel. The voltage adjustment signal transmitted in the original first voltage adjustment signal line 221 is transmitted through the first virtual connection line segment L31, which does not affect the normal transmission of signals in the display panel 10 and improves the utilization rate of the lines in the display panel 10.
[0108] For example, as shown in FIGS. 6, 12, 13, 17-21, the pixel circuit 100 includes the virtual connection line L0, the original first voltage adjustment signal line 221 located at the film layer of the fourth metal layer 580 is removed, the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 is arranged at the film layer of the fifth metal layer 5100, and further, the first virtual connection line segment L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221. For example, one of the first virtual connection line segments L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 (for example, the initialization reset signal line Vref1 in FIG. 13), and the other first virtual connection line segment L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 (for example, the anode reset signal line Vref2 in FIG. 13).
[0109] For example, referring to FIGS. 25, 33 and 34, the pixel circuit 100 includes the data connection wire L0, and the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 originally arranged at the film layer of the fifth metal layer 6140 is removed, and the first virtual connection wire segment L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221. For example, one of the first virtual connection wire segments L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 (for example, the bias adjustment signal line DVH in FIG. 34), and the other first virtual connection wire segment L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 (for example, the anode reset signal line Vref2 in FIG. 34).
[0110] For example, referring to FIGS. 40, 46, 47, 51 to 55, the pixel circuit 100 includes the virtual connection wire L0, and the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 originally arranged at the film layer of the fourth metal layer 580 is removed, and the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 is arranged at the film layer of the fifth metal layer 5100, and further, the first virtual connection wire segment L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221. For example, one of the first virtual connection wire segments L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 (for example, the bias adjustment signal line DVH in FIG. 47), and the other first virtual connection wire segment L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 (for example, the anode reset signal line Vref2 in FIG. 47).
[0111] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 6 to 14, the display panel 10 further includes a plurality of pixel circuit groups 100A, each of which includes two pixel circuits 100 arranged adjacent to each other along the second direction Y; along the second direction Y, the first virtual connection wire segment L31 is located between two data signal lines 210 electrically connected to the two pixel circuits 100 in the same pixel circuit group 100A.
[0112] For example, referring to FIG. 13, the pixel circuit group 100A includes two pixel circuits 100 arranged adjacent to each other along the second direction Y, and it can be understood that the plurality of pixel circuits 100 in the display panel 10 are divided by the pixel circuit group 100A. For the sake of clarity of the division of the pixel circuit group 100A, only FIG. 13 is shown, and the pixel circuit group 100A is divided in the same area as in FIGS. 6 to 12, and for the sake of clarity of the picture, not all are shown. Referring to FIGS. 6 and 13, the pixel circuit 100 is electrically connected to the data signal line 210, and the electrical connection relationship between the data signal line 210 and the pixel circuit 100 is shown in the form of overlapping, and the arrangement position of the data signal line 210 is adjusted based on the type of the pixel circuit 100, which is not described here.
[0113] For example, referring to FIG. 13, in the pixel circuit group 100A, the first virtual connection line segment L31 is located between two data signal lines 210 electrically connected to two pixel circuits 100 in the same pixel circuit group 100A in the second direction Y. It can be understood that the first virtual connection line segment L31 is located between the two data signal lines 210 in the same direction as the arrangement direction and the wiring direction of the data signal lines 210. Alternatively, refer to FIGS. 21, 34, 47, and 55. When the first virtual connection line segment L31 is multiplexed as the first voltage adjustment signal line 221, the first virtual connection line segment L31 can reduce the interference of the electrical signal coupling between the two data signal lines 210 on both sides, thereby ensuring the reliability of the signal transmitted by the data signal line 210 to the pixel circuit 100, and further ensuring the display effect of the display panel 10.
[0114] Alternatively, referring to FIG. 11, the display panel 10 further includes a shielding structure 400, which can be located between the signal line where the signal jumps and the first node N1, and the shielding structure 400 can be electrically connected to a fixed potential, so that the jump of other signals can be avoided to affect the potential of the first node N1, the potential of the first node N1 is ensured to be stable, and the pixel circuit is ensured to work normally. For example, referring to FIG. 11, the shielding structure 400 is located in the film layer where the second metal layer 560 is located. In other types of pixel circuits 100, the shielding structure 400 can also be located in the film layer where the top gate of the oxide transistor is located, and the film layer of the shielding structure is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0115] Referring to FIGS. 6-14, 17-21, 25-35, 40-48, 51-55, the first virtual connection line segment L31 is arranged in the same layer as the data signal line 210.
[0116] For example, the data signal line 210 extends in the first direction X in the display area AA, and the first virtual connection line segment L31 also extends in the first direction X, that is, the wiring arrangement trend of the data signal line 210 and the first virtual connection line segment L31 is similar, and then the two are placed in the same film layer, and there is no need to arrange another film layer for the first virtual connection line segment L31, so that the number of film layers of the display panel 10 can be reduced. For example, referring to FIGS. 6-14, 17-21, 40-48, 51-55, the first virtual connection line segment L31 and the data signal line 210 are arranged in the film layer where the fifth metal layer 5100 is located, and referring to FIGS. 25-35, the first virtual connection line segment L31 and the data signal line 210 are arranged in the film layer where the fifth metal layer 6140 is located. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring the display effect of the display panel 10, the process preparation cost and process preparation difficulty of the display panel 10 are reduced, which is beneficial to realize the thin design of the display panel 10.
[0117] With reference to FIGS. 6-14, 25-35, 40-48, the voltage adjustment signal line 220 further includes a second voltage adjustment signal line 222 extending at least partially along the second direction Y, and the second voltage adjustment signal line 222 is electrically connected with the first voltage adjustment signal line 221.
[0118] The voltage adjustment signal line 220 further includes a second voltage adjustment signal line 222 extending along the second direction Y, and the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 and the second voltage adjustment signal line 222 intersect in the extending directions. The film layer position of the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 has diversity, which can be adaptively adjusted according to different pixel circuits 100. Similarly, the film layer position of the second voltage adjustment signal line 222 has diversity, which can be adaptively adjusted according to different pixel circuits 100.
[0119] For example, the second voltage adjustment signal line 222 is electrically connected with the first voltage adjustment signal line 221, and the first voltage adjustment signal line 221 and the second voltage adjustment signal line 222 can be provided in the form of a mesh-shaped trace, which improves the setting flexibility of the voltage adjustment signal line 220 and provides more possibilities to multiplex part of the voltage adjustment signal line 220 as a virtual connection trace L0.

The first color light emitting element 300a is located at a first vertex of the first virtual quadrilateral 21, and the center of the second color light emitting element 300b is located at a second vertex of the first virtual quadrilateral 21. The first vertex and the second vertex are alternately and spaced apart, and the third color light emitting element 300c is located inside the first virtual quadrilateral 21. A plurality of third color light emitting elements 300c form a second virtual quadrilateral 22. The centers of the plurality of third color light emitting elements 300c are respectively located at the vertices of the second virtual quadrilateral, and the first color light emitting element 300a or the second color light emitting element 300b is located inside the second virtual quadrilateral 22.
[0202] For example, referring to FIG. 14, the plurality of first color light emitting elements 300a and the plurality of second color light emitting elements 300b form a first virtual quadrilateral 21, two first color light emitting elements 300a are located at opposite corners of the first virtual quadrilateral 21, and two second color light emitting elements 300b are located at the other two opposite corners of the first virtual quadrilateral 21. In addition, a third color light emitting element 300c is disposed at the center of the first virtual quadrilateral 21.
[0203] For example, the plurality of third color light emitting elements 300c can also form a second virtual quadrilateral 22, in which a first color light emitting element 300a can be located at the center or a second color light emitting element 300b can be located at the center.
[0204] For example, the first color, the second color, and the third color correspond to one of red, blue, and green, respectively. Through the above arrangement of the light emitting elements 300, the rendering effect of the light emitting elements 300 can be better, and the color display effect of the display panel 10 can be ensured.
[0205] It should be noted that only the anodes corresponding to the light emitting elements 300 are shown in FIG. 14, and the anodes represent light emitting elements of different colors.
[0206] In the thickness direction of the display panel 10, the anodes of the first color light emitting elements 300a and the anodes of the second color light emitting elements 300b overlap the data signal lines 210 and the virtual connection traces L3.
[0207] By adjusting the positions of the data signal lines 210 and the virtual connection traces L3, it is ensured that, in the thickness direction of the display panel 10, the anodes of the first color light emitting elements 300a and the anodes of the second color light emitting elements 300b overlap the data signal lines 210 and the virtual connection traces L3. This can increase the coverage area of the anodes on the data signal lines 210 and the virtual connection traces L3, that is, more areas of the data signal lines 210 and more areas of the virtual connection traces L3 are arranged within the coverage range of the anodes, so that the degree of being raised by the metal traces on the entire area of the anodes is similar, thereby avoiding color deviation or color dispersion in the display panel and ensuring the display effect of the display panel. On the other hand, the overlap of the anodes with the data signal lines 210 and the virtual connection traces L3 can reduce the obstruction of the data signal lines 210 and the virtual connection traces L3 to light transmission, which is conducive to improving the transmittance of the display panel 10 and ensuring the display effect of the display panel 10.
