AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing flexible display devices, the data signal lead-out lines of the bonding area need to be introduced in a fan-out manner, resulting in a large bottom bezel width, which affects the narrow bezel design of the display product.

Method used

By adopting a fan-out line located in the pixel area (FIP) structure, the data connection lines are placed within the display area. Multiple data connection lines are used to connect to the binding area, reducing the width of the lead-out line area and thus reducing the width of the bottom bezel.

Benefits of technology

By setting up data connection lines within the display area, the space occupied by the lead-out lines is reduced, enabling a narrow bezel design and improving the appearance quality of the display product.

Detailed Implementation

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation methods can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be varied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0054] The scale of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual manufacturing processes, but is not limited thereto. For example, the aspect 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 not limited to the quantities shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the figures.

[0055] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.

[0056] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0057] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0058] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or 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 the region through which current primarily flows.

[0059] In this specification, the first terminal of a transistor can be the drain electrode and the second terminal of a transistor can be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or where the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged, and the "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.

[0060] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it enables the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.

[0061] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.

[0062] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."

[0063] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined; they can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons, and may have minor deformations due to tolerances, and may include chamfers, curved edges, and other variations. The term "approximately" in this disclosure means that the limits are not strictly defined, and the values ​​are within the allowable range of process and measurement errors.

[0064] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a display device. As shown in Figure 1, the display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, a light-emitting driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is connected to the data driver, the scan driver, and the light-emitting driver. The data driver is connected to multiple data signal lines (D1 to Dn), the scan driver is connected to multiple scan signal lines (S1 to Sm), and the light-emitting driver is connected to multiple light-emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo).

In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller can provide grayscale values ​​and control signals of specifications suitable for the data driver to the data driver, provide clock signals, scan start signals, etc. of specifications suitable for the scan driver to the scan driver, and provide clock signals, transmit stop signals, etc. of specifications suitable for the light-emitting driver to the light-emitting driver. The data driver can use grayscale values ​​and control signals received from the timing controller to generate data voltages to be provided to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., Dn. For example, the data driver can sample grayscale values ​​using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values ​​to data signal lines D1 to Dn in pixel rows, where n can be a natural number. The scan driver can generate scan signals to be provided to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, etc., from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver can sequentially provide scan signals with on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. The scan driver can be configured as a shift register and can generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting scan start signals in the form of on-level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. The light-emitting driver can generate transmit signals to be provided to light-emitting signal lines E1, E2, E3, ..., Eo by receiving clock signals, transmit stop signals, etc., from the timing controller. For example, the light-emitting driver can sequentially provide transmit signals with cutoff level pulses to the light-emitting signal lines E1 to Eo. The light-emitting driver can be configured as a shift register and can generate transmit signals by sequentially transmitting transmit stop signals in the form of cutoff level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where o can be a natural number. In an exemplary embodiment, a pixel array can be disposed on a display substrate.

[0088] With the development of OLED display technology, consumers have increasingly higher requirements for the display quality and effect of display products, and narrow bezel displays have become a new trend in display product development. In one type of display substrate, because the data signals of the integrated circuits in the bonding area need to be introduced into a wider display area in a fan-out manner through data leads, the lead-out area occupies a large space, resulting in a larger bottom bezel.

[0089] To reduce the bottom bezel width, an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a display substrate employing a fanout-in-pixel (FIP) structure. The display area of ​​this disclosure is provided with multiple data connection lines, which may include first connection lines and second connection lines. The first ends of the multiple first connection lines are connected to multiple data signal lines in the display area, and the second ends of the multiple first connection lines are connected to the first ends of the multiple second connection lines. The second ends of the multiple second connection lines extend to a bonding area and are then connected to an integrated circuit via multiple data leads in a lead-out area. Since the lead-out area does not require fan-shaped diagonal lines, the width of the lead-out area is reduced, thereby reducing the bottom bezel width.

[0090] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a data connection line according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The data connection line adopts a FIP structure. As shown in Figure 6, in a plane parallel to the display substrate, the display substrate may include at least a display area 100, a bonding area 200 located on one side of the display area 100, and a border area 300 located on other sides of the display area 100. In a direction perpendicular to the display substrate, the display substrate may include at least a driving structure layer disposed on a substrate and a light-emitting structure layer disposed on the side of the driving structure layer away from the substrate. The driving structure layer of the display area 100 may include multiple circuit units constituting multiple unit rows and multiple unit columns, multiple data signal lines DATA, multiple horizontal connection lines FIP-H, and multiple vertical connection lines FIP-V. At least one circuit unit may include a pixel driving circuit, which is configured to output a corresponding current to the connected light-emitting device. The light-emitting structure layer of the display area 100 may include multiple light-emitting units, and at least one light-emitting unit may include a light-emitting device. The light-emitting device is connected to the pixel driving circuit of the corresponding circuit unit, and the light-emitting device is configured to emit light of a corresponding brightness in response to the current output by the connected pixel driving circuit.

[0091] In exemplary embodiments, the circuit unit referred to in this disclosure refers to a region divided according to the pixel driving circuit, and the light-emitting unit referred to in this disclosure refers to a region divided according to the light-emitting device. In exemplary embodiments, the position of the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit on the substrate may correspond to the position of the orthographic projection of the circuit unit on the substrate, or the position of the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit on the substrate may not correspond to the position of the orthographic projection of the circuit unit on the substrate.

[0092] In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of circuit units arranged sequentially along the first direction X can be referred to as a unit row, and a plurality of circuit units arranged sequentially along the second direction Y can be referred to as a unit column. The plurality of unit rows and the plurality of unit columns constitute an array of circuit units arranged in an array, and the first direction X intersects the second direction Y.

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment, the first direction X and the second direction Y can be perpendicular to each other.

[0094] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the horizontal connecting line FIP-H can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X, and the shapes of the data signal line DATA and the vertical connecting line FIP-V can be straight lines or broken lines extending along the second direction Y. Multiple data signal lines DATA are sequentially arranged at predetermined intervals along the first direction X. At least one data signal line DATA is connected to multiple pixel driving circuits in a unit column, and the data signal line DATA is configured to provide data signals to the connected pixel driving circuits. The first end of the horizontal connecting line FIP-H is connected to the data signal line DATA, and the second end of the horizontal connecting line FIP-H is connected to the first end of the vertical connecting line FIP-V. The second end of the vertical connecting line FIP-V extends to the bonding area and connects to the data lead-in line DATA-IN, so that the data signal line DATA in the display area is connected to the data lead-in line DATA-IN in the bonding area 200 through the horizontal connecting line FIP-H and the vertical connecting line FIP-V, forming an FIP structure (also called a FIAA structure). In an exemplary embodiment, the horizontal connecting line FIP-H and the vertical connecting line FIP-V are collectively referred to as data connecting lines.

[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, the bonding area 200 may include a lead-out area, a bending area, a driver chip area, and a bonding pin area arranged sequentially along a direction away from the display area. The lead-out area is connected to the display area, and the bending area is connected to the lead-out area. The lead-out area may have multiple data leads (DATA-IN) extending along a direction away from the display area. The first end of some data leads (DATA-IN) is connected to the vertical connecting line (FIP-V) in the display area 100, and the first end of another portion of data leads (DATA-IN) is connected to the data signal line (DATA) in the display area 100. The second ends of all data leads (DATA-IN) cross the bending area along the second direction Y and are connected to the integrated circuit in the driver chip area, allowing the integrated circuit to apply data signals to the data signal line through the data leads and data connecting lines. Because the horizontal connecting line (FIP-H) and the vertical connecting line (FIP-V) are located in the display area, the length of the lead-out area in the second direction Y can be effectively reduced, significantly reducing the bottom bezel width, increasing the screen-to-body ratio, and facilitating full-screen display.

[0096] In an exemplary embodiment, the number of data connection lines in the display area can be the same as the number of data signal lines, with each data signal line connected to a corresponding data lead-out line via a data connection line. Alternatively, the number of data connection lines in the display area can be less than the number of data signal lines, with some data signal lines in the display area connected to corresponding data lead-out lines via data connection lines, and other data signal lines directly connected to data lead-out lines. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this aspect.

[0097] In a display substrate, a data signal line is provided in a unit column, which is connected to all pixel driving circuits in the unit column. The data signal line is configured to provide data signals to all pixel driving circuits in the unit column. With the increase in resolution and refresh rate, the data writing and compensation time for a single line within a frame is shortened, leading to difficulties in data writing and insufficient compensation, resulting in a deterioration in display quality and effect.

[0098] To improve display quality and effect, the display substrate provided in the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure employs a dual-source structure. In this display substrate, each unit column of the display area is provided with two data signal lines: one data signal line is connected to the pixel driving circuit in the odd-numbered unit rows, and the other data signal line is connected to the pixel driving circuit in the even-numbered unit rows. Since the pixel driving circuits in the odd-numbered and even-numbered unit rows of each unit column are connected to different data signal lines, the data writing and compensation time of the pixel driving circuits can be increased.

[0099] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a data signal line structure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 7, the display substrate may include at least a display area 100 and a bonding area 200 located on one side of the display area 100. The display area 100 of the display substrate may include a plurality of circuit units constituting a plurality of cell rows and a plurality of cell columns, and at least one circuit unit may include a pixel driving circuit. The bonding area 200 of the display substrate may include at least a switching circuit.

The first cell rows may be odd-numbered, and the second cell rows may be even-numbered; alternatively, the first cell rows may be even-numbered, and the second cell rows may be odd-numbered.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one cell column may include a first data signal line DA and a second data signal line DB. The first data signal line DA is connected to the pixel driving circuits of a plurality of first cell rows in the cell column, providing data signals to the pixel driving circuits of the plurality of first cell rows. The second data signal line DB is connected to the pixel driving circuits of a plurality of second cell rows in the cell column, providing data signals to the pixel driving circuits of the plurality of second cell rows. In an exemplary embodiment, the first data signal line DA and the second data signal line DB may be collectively referred to as data signal lines.

[0102] In an exemplary embodiment, the switching circuit of the bonding area may include multiple first switching units F1, multiple second switching units F2, a first control line, and a second control line. The control terminals of the multiple first switching units F1 are connected to the first control line, the input terminals of the multiple first switching units F1 are connected to multiple data output lines DATA-IN, and the output terminals of the multiple first switching units F1 are connected to multiple first data signal lines DA. The control terminals of the multiple second switching units F2 are connected to the second control line, the input terminals of the multiple second switching units F2 are connected to multiple data output lines DATA-IN, and the output terminals of the multiple second switching units F2 are connected to multiple second data signal lines DB.

[0103] In an exemplary embodiment, during the operation of the display substrate, when the first control line outputs a conduction signal, multiple first switch units F1 are turned on. The data signal output by the integrated circuit is provided to the pixel driving circuit in the first unit row through the data lead-in, the first switch unit F1, and the first data signal line DA. When the second control line outputs a conduction signal, multiple second switch units F2 are turned on. The data signal output by the integrated circuit is provided to the pixel driving circuit in the second unit row through the data lead-in, the second switch unit F2, and the second data signal line DB. Since the pixel driving circuits in the first and second unit rows of each unit column receive data signals respectively, the data signal holding time is increased. Therefore, the data writing time and compensation time of the pixel driving circuit can be effectively increased, ensuring the display quality and effect of high resolution and high refresh rate.

The "patterning process" described in this disclosure includes, for metallic, inorganic, or transparent conductive materials, processes such as depositing a film, coating with photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping; for organic materials, it includes processes such as coating with organic materials, mask exposure, and development. Deposition can be performed using any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition; coating can be performed using any one or more of spraying, spin coating, and inkjet printing; etching can be performed using any one or more of dry etching and wet etching. This disclosure does not limit the methods used. A "thin film" refers to a thin film made of a certain material on a substrate using deposition, coating, or other processes. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it can also be called a "layer." If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern." The phrase "A and B are arranged in the same layer" in this disclosure means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer is the dimension of the film layer in the direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary range of the orthographic projection of A, or the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

[0257] In an exemplary embodiment, the seventh connection electrode 57 can be a strip extending along the second direction Y. The first end of the seventh connection electrode 57 is connected to the first region of the seventh active layer through the sixth via V6, and the second end of the seventh connection electrode 57 is connected to the second initial connection block 42-1 through the tenth via V10.

[0310] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the first data signal line 61 can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the second direction Y, and the shape of the first connecting block 65 can be block-shaped (such as rectangular). The first connecting block 65 can be disposed on the first data signal line 61 and connected to the first data signal line 61. The first connecting block 65 can be connected to the second connecting electrode 52 of the Mth cell row (first cell row) through the twenty-first via V21. Since the second connecting electrode 52 is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the via, the first data signal line 61 writes the data signal into the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 in the Mth cell row.

[0311] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one circuit unit, the first data signal line 61 and the first connection block 65 can be an integral structure that is interconnected.

[0312] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the second data signal line 62 can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the second direction Y, and the shape of the second connecting block 66 can be block-shaped (such as rectangular). The second connecting block 66 can be disposed on the second data signal line 62 and connected to the second data signal line 62. The second connecting block 66 can be connected to the second connecting electrode 52 of the M+1th cell row (the second cell row) through the twenty-first via V21. Since the second connecting electrode 52 is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the via, the second data signal line 62 writes the data signal to the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 in the M+1th cell row.

[0313] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one circuit unit, the second data signal line 62 and the second connection block 66 can be an integral structure that is interconnected.

[0314] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one cell column, the first data signal line 61 may be disposed on one side of the second data signal line 62 in the first direction X, or the second data signal line 62 may be disposed on one side of the first data signal line 61 in the first direction X. For example, the first data signal line 61 in the Nth cell column and the N+1th cell column may be disposed on one side of the second data signal line 62 in the first direction X. As another example, the second data signal line 62 in the N+2th cell column and the N+3th cell column may be disposed on one side of the first data signal line 61 in the first direction X.

[0315] In an exemplary embodiment, since the data via in the first circuit unit is located on one side of the second transistor T2 in the first direction X (i.e., on the side of the cell center line in the first direction X), the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4 in the first circuit unit is connected to either the first data signal line 61 or the second data signal line 62 located on the side of the cell center line in the first direction X. Since the data via in the second circuit unit is located on the opposite side of the second transistor T2 in the first direction X (i.e., on the opposite side of the cell center line in the first direction X), the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4 in the second circuit unit is connected to either the first data signal line 61 or the second data signal line 62 located on the opposite side of the cell center line in the first direction X. For example, for the Nth and N+1th cell columns, the pixel driving circuit in the Mth cell row (the pixel driving circuit in the first circuit unit) is connected to the first data signal line 61 located on the side of the cell center line in the first direction X, and the pixel driving circuit in the M+1th cell row (the pixel driving circuit in the second circuit unit) is connected to the second data signal line 62 located on the opposite side of the cell center line in the first direction X. For example, for the N+2th and N+3rd unit columns, the pixel driving circuit in the Mth unit row (the pixel driving circuit in the second circuit unit) is connected to the first data signal line 61 located on the opposite side of the first direction X of the unit center line, and the pixel driving circuit in the M+1th unit row (the pixel driving circuit in the first circuit unit) is connected to the second data signal line 62 located on the side of the first direction X of the unit center line.

[0316] In an exemplary embodiment, in at least one circuit unit, the first data signal line 61 and the second data signal line 62 may be arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner with respect to the center line of the unit. The first data signal line 61 mentioned in this disclosure does not include the first connecting block 65, and the second data signal line 62 does not include the second connecting block 66.

[0317] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 63 can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the second direction Y, and can be disposed between the first data signal line 61 and the second data signal line 62. The first power line 63 is connected to the third connection electrode 53 through the twenty-second via V22. Since the third connection electrode 53 is connected to the first region and the second electrode plate 32 of the fifth active layer through the via, the first power line 63 writes the first power signal to the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 and the second electrode plate 32 of the storage capacitor.

[0318] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power line 63 can be a non-uniform width zigzag line, which not only facilitates the layout of the pixel structure and reduces parasitic capacitance between it and the data signal line, but also the first power line with a constant voltage can effectively shield the mutual influence between the first data signal line 61 and the second data signal line 62, avoid the data voltage jump affecting the normal operation of the pixel driving circuit, and improve the display effect.

[0319] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first power line 63 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first connecting electrode 51 on the substrate. Since the first connecting electrode 51 serves as the first node N1 in the pixel driving circuit, the constant voltage of the first power line 63 can effectively shield the influence of other signals in the pixel driving circuit on the first node N1, preventing other signals (such as data voltage jumps) from affecting the potential of the first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit, thus improving the display effect.

[0320] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first power line 63 onto the substrate may include the orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 41 onto the substrate.

[0321] In an exemplary embodiment, the anode connection electrode 64 can be block-shaped (e.g., rectangular). The anode connection electrode 64 is connected to the fourth connection electrode 54 through the twenty-third via V23, and the anode connection electrode 64 is configured to be connected to the subsequently formed anode. Since the fourth connection electrode 54 is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer and the second region of the seventh active layer, the pixel driving circuit drives the light-emitting device to emit light.

[0322] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer may further include at least one first initial connection line 71. The shape of the first initial connection line 71 may be a straight line or a broken line extending along the second direction Y of the main body portion. The first initial connection line 71 is connected to the eighth connection block 58-1 through the twenty-fourth via V24. Since the eighth connection block 58-1 is connected to the sixth connection electrode 56, and the sixth connection electrode 56 is connected to the first initial signal line 41, a mesh-like interconnection structure for transmitting the first initial signal is formed on the display substrate by the first initial signal line 41 extending along the first direction X of the main body portion and the first initial connection line 71 extending along the second direction Y of the main body portion. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the first initial signal line and reduces the voltage drop of the first initial signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the first initial signal, effectively improves display uniformity, and enhances display quality.

[0323] In an exemplary embodiment, the first initial connection line 71 may be disposed between the Nth cell column and the N+1th cell column.

[0324] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer may further include at least one second initial connection line 72. The shape of the second initial connection line 72 may be a straight line or a broken line extending along the second direction Y of the main body portion. The second initial connection line 72 is connected to the ninth connection block 59-1 through the twenty-fifth via V25. Since the ninth connection block 59-1 is connected to the ninth connection electrode 59, the ninth connection electrode 59 is connected to the seventh connection electrode 57, and the seventh connection electrode 57 is connected to the second initial signal line 42, a mesh-like interconnection structure for transmitting the second initial signal is formed on the display substrate by the second initial signal line 42 extending along the first direction X of the main body portion and the second initial connection line 72 extending along the second direction Y of the main body portion. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the second initial signal line and reduces the voltage drop of the second initial signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the second initial signal, effectively improves the display uniformity, and improves the display quality.

[0325] In an exemplary embodiment, the second initial connection line 72 may be disposed between the N+2th and N+3th unit columns.

[0326] As shown in Figures 17A and 17B, in an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer may further include at least one first vertical connecting line 91, at least one second vertical connecting line 92, and at least one second power supply trace 120.

[0327] In an exemplary embodiment, the shapes of the first vertical connecting line 91, the second vertical connecting line 92, and the second power line 120 can be straight lines or broken lines extending along the second direction Y. The first vertical connecting line 91 can be disposed between the first data signal line 61 of the N+1th unit column and the first data signal line 61 of the N+2th unit column. The second vertical connecting line 92 can be disposed between the second data signal line 62 of the N+3th unit column and the second data signal line 62 of the N+4th unit column. The second power line 120 can be disposed between the N-1th unit column and the Nth unit column, between the N+1th unit column and the N+2th unit column, and between the N+3th unit column and the N+4th unit column, respectively.

[0328] In an exemplary embodiment, the first vertical connecting line 91 can be connected to the first data electrode 83 through the twenty-sixth via V26. Since the first data electrode 83 is connected to the first horizontal connecting line 81, the first horizontal connecting line 81 is configured to be connected to the first data signal line, and the first vertical connecting line 91 is configured to be connected to the data lead-out line in the bonding area. Thus, the interconnection between the first horizontal connecting line 81 extending along the first direction X of the main body and the first vertical connecting line 91 extending along the second direction Y of the main body is realized. The data lead-out line in the bonding area can be connected to the first data signal line 61 through the first horizontal connecting line 81 and the first vertical connecting line 91.

[0329] In an exemplary embodiment, since the first vertical connecting line 91 is connected to the first data signal line 61 through the first horizontal connecting line 81, both the first data signal line 61 and the first vertical connecting line 91 are data transmission lines that transmit data signals to the pixel driving circuit of the first unit row. This embodiment of the present disclosure, by placing the first vertical connecting line between two adjacent first data signal lines, enables three data transmission lines to transmit data signals simultaneously. This avoids the situation where some data transmission lines are in a writing state while others are in a floating state, eliminates the mutual influence of potentials on adjacent data transmission lines, eliminates display defects caused by data signal interference, and improves display quality and effect.

[0330] In an exemplary embodiment, the second vertical connecting line 92 can be connected to the second data electrode 84 through the second sixteenth via V26. Since the second data electrode 84 is connected to the second horizontal connecting line 82, the second horizontal connecting line 82 is configured to be connected to the second data signal line, and the second vertical connecting line 92 is configured to be connected to the data lead-out line in the bonding area. Thus, the interconnection between the second horizontal connecting line 82 extending along the first direction X of the main body and the second vertical connecting line 92 extending along the second direction Y of the main body is realized. The data lead-out line in the bonding area can be connected to the second data signal line 62 through the second horizontal connecting line 82 and the second vertical connecting line 92.

[0331] In an exemplary embodiment, since the second vertical connecting line 92 is connected to the second data signal line 62 via the second horizontal connecting line 82, both the second data signal line 62 and the second vertical connecting line 92 are data transmission lines that transmit data signals to the pixel driving circuit of the second unit row. This embodiment of the present disclosure, by placing the second vertical connecting line between two adjacent second data signal lines, enables three data transmission lines to transmit data signals simultaneously. This avoids the situation where some data transmission lines are in a writing state while others are in a floating state, eliminates the mutual influence of potentials on adjacent data transmission lines, eliminates display defects caused by data signal interference, and improves display quality and effect.

[0332] In an exemplary embodiment, the first vertical connecting line 91 and the second vertical connecting line 92 can also be connected to a portion of the dummy electrodes 85 through the twenty-seventh via V27, and the second power supply line 120 can be connected to another portion of the dummy electrodes 85 through the twenty-seventh via V27.

[0333] In an exemplary embodiment, a second break K2 may be provided between the first vertical connecting line 91 and the second power line 120 arranged in the same unit column, and a second break K2 may be provided between the second vertical connecting line 92 and the second power line 120 arranged in the same unit column. The second break K2 is configured to achieve mutual insulation between the first vertical connecting line 91 and the second power line 120, and mutual insulation between the second vertical connecting line 92 and the second power line 120.

[0334] As shown in Figures 17C and 17D, in an exemplary embodiment, in the second region, the second power traces 120 can be spaced apart in the second direction Y. In the second direction Y, multiple second power traces 120 can be respectively arranged between adjacent first power traces 110.

[0335] In an exemplary embodiment, for a first power trace 110, a second power trace 120 located on the Y-side of the first power trace 110 in the second direction can be connected to the first power electrode 111 through a 28th via V28, and a second power trace 120 located on the opposite side of the Y-side of the first power trace 110 can be connected to the second power electrode 112 through a 29th via V29. For two adjacent second power traces 120 in the Y-side, one second power trace 120 can be connected to the first power electrode 111 through a 28th via V28, and the other second power trace 120 can be connected to the second power electrode 112 through a 29th via V29. Since both the first power electrode 111 and the second power electrode 112 are connected to the first power trace 110, the interconnection between the first power trace 110 extending along the first direction X and the second power trace 120 extending along the second direction Y is realized, forming a mesh-like interconnected structure for transmitting power signals on the display substrate. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the power signal lines and decreases the voltage drop of the power signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the power signal, thus improving the uniformity of the display and enhancing the display quality.

[0336] In an exemplary embodiment, adjacent second power traces 120 in the first direction X may be spaced apart by two circuit units. For example, the second power traces 120 may be located between the (N+19)th and (N+20)th unit columns. Alternatively, the second power traces 120 may be located between the (N+21)th and (N+22)th unit columns. Yet another example is that the second power traces 120 may be located between the (N+23)th and (N+24)th unit columns.

[0337] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power trace 110 can extend to the bezel area and connect to the bezel power lead, and / or the second power trace 120 can extend to the bonding area and connect to the bonding power lead. The bezel power lead or the bonding power lead can be connected to the second power line, realizing the second power line located in the pixel area (VSS in Pixel, or SIP) structure. This can significantly reduce the width of the bezel power lead, reduce the width of the left and right bezels, improve the screen ratio, and facilitate the realization of full-screen display.

[0338] In an exemplary embodiment, in the Nth unit column, the second vertical connecting line 92, the second data signal line 62, the first power line 63, the first data signal line 61, and the first initial connecting line 71 can be arranged sequentially in the first direction X, or the second power line 120, the second data signal line 62, the first power line 63, the first data signal line 61, and the first initial connecting line 71 can be arranged sequentially in the first direction X.

[0339] In an exemplary embodiment, in the N+1th unit column, the first initial connection line 71, the second data signal line 62, the first power line 63, the first data signal line 61 and the first vertical connection line 91 can be arranged sequentially in the first direction X, or the first initial connection line 71, the second data signal line 62, the first power line 63, the first data signal line 61 and the second power line 120 can be arranged sequentially in the first direction X.

[0341] In an exemplary embodiment, in the N+3 unit column, the second initial connection line 72, the first data signal line 61, the first power line 63, the second data signal line 62, and the second vertical connection line 92 can be arranged sequentially in the first direction X, or the second initial connection line 72, the first data signal line 61, the first power line 63, the second data signal line 62, and the second power trace 120 can be arranged sequentially in the first direction X.

[0342] In an exemplary embodiment, the positions and shapes of the first data signal line 61, second data signal line 62, first power line 63, and anode connection electrode 64 in some adjacent cell columns may be substantially the same, and these positions and shapes may be mirror-symmetrical with respect to the column boundary line. For example, the positions and shapes of the first data signal line 61, second data signal line 62, first power line 63, and anode connection electrode 64 in the Nth cell column and the (N+1)th cell column may be substantially the same, and the positions and shapes of the first data signal line 61, second data signal line 62, first power line 63, and anode connection electrode 64 in the (N+2)th cell column and the (N+3)th cell column may also be substantially the same. Furthermore, the positions and shapes of the first data signal line 61, second data signal line 62, first power line 63, and anode connection electrode 64 in the (N+1)th cell column and the (N+2)th cell column may be mirror-symmetrical with respect to the column boundary line.

[0344] In an exemplary embodiment, each circuit unit includes at least an anode via V30. The orthographic projection of the anode via V30 onto the substrate lies within the orthographic projection of the anode connection electrode 64 onto the substrate. A second planarization layer within the anode via V30 is removed, exposing the surface of the anode connection electrode 64, which is configured to allow a subsequently formed anode to be connected to the anode connection electrode 64 through the via.
