[0157] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The implementation can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into other 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. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0158] In the accompanying drawings, the size of one or more constituent elements, the thickness of layers, or areas are sometimes exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, this disclosure is not necessarily limited to these dimensions, and the shape and size of one or more parts in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate ideal examples, and this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0159] The ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit the quantity. The term "multiple" in this disclosure refers to two or more quantities.
[0160] 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 the constituent elements being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.
[0161] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or joint; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. "Joining" can include "electrical connection," which includes situations where constituent elements are connected together by a component having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the term "component having some electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission of electrical signals between the connected constituent elements. Examples of "component having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other multifunctional components. Those skilled in the art will understand the meaning of the above terms in this disclosure as appropriate.
[0162] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate (gate electrode), a drain, and a source. A transistor has a channel region between its drain (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and its source (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain, the channel region, and the source. In this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0163] In this specification, the first terminal can be the drain and the second terminal can be the source, or vice versa. Additionally, the gate can also be called the control terminal. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or where the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source" and "drain" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source" and "drain" can be interchanged.
[0164] 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°.
[0165] In this specification, circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined. They can be approximate circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, such as chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.
[0166] In this specification, "approximately" and "roughly" mean without strictly defined limits, allowing for errors in the process and measurement. In this disclosure, "roughly the same" means that the values differ by no more than 10%.
[0167] In this specification, "A extends along direction B" means that A may include a main part and a secondary part connected to the main part. The main part is a line, line segment, or strip-shaped solid. The main part extends along direction B, and the length of the main part extending along direction B is greater than the length of the secondary part extending along other directions. In this specification, "A extends along direction B" refers to "the main part of A extends along direction B".
[0168] The phrase "A and B are of the same layer" in this specification means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same drafting process. "Same layer" does not always mean that the layer thickness or layer height is the same in the partial cross-sectional schematic diagram. "The orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the orthographic projection of B falls within the orthographic projection area of A, or the orthographic projection of A covers the orthographic projection of B.
[0169] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
[0170] In embodiments of this disclosure, the thickness of a component refers to the dimension of the component in a direction perpendicular to the substrate.
[0171] The display substrate includes a display area and a hole area. When the isolation pillars in the hole area are energized, they will undergo electrochemical corrosion, and there will be residual adhesive on the isolation pillars. When the display substrate is opened, moisture will enter the display area along the residual adhesive, which can cause black spots to appear on the display substrate and affect the display effect of the display substrate.

In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the shape of the display substrate can be a closed polygon including linear edges. The display substrate may include: a display area AA, a hole area VV at least partially surrounded by the display area AA, a bonding area BB located on one side of the display area AA, and a border area CC located on at least one side of the display area AA. For example, the display area AA may include: a first display edge (lower display edge) and a second display edge (upper display edge) disposed opposite to each other in a first direction D1, and a third display edge (left display edge) and a fourth display edge (right display edge) disposed opposite to each other in a second direction D2. The first display edge and the second display edge can be mutually parallel linear edges, and the third display edge and the fourth display edge can be mutually parallel linear edges. Adjacent linear edges can be connected by curved edges (e.g., arcuate edges).

[0174] In an exemplary embodiment, at least a portion of the structure within the hole region VV is removed. For example, all the structure within the hole region VV of the display substrate is removed. For example, after forming the encapsulation layer, a hole-punching process is performed to remove the portion of the display substrate located in the hole region VV.

The first sub-area B11 may also be referred to as a first fan-out area. The first sub-area B11 may communicate with the left border area and the right border area and be connected to the display area AA. The bent area B12 may connect the first sub-area B11 and the second sub-area B13. The bent area B12 may be configured to bend the second sub-area B13 to the back side of the display area AA.

[0180] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the display area AA of the display substrate may include at least: a plurality of sub-pixels PX, a plurality of gate lines GL, and a plurality of data lines DL. The plurality of gate lines GL may extend along a second direction D2 and be arranged along a first direction D1; the plurality of data lines DL may extend along the first direction D1 and be arranged along the second direction D2. The plurality of data lines DL may be electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels PX, and the plurality of data lines DL may be configured to provide data signals to the plurality of sub-pixels PX. The plurality of gate lines GL may be electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels PX, and the plurality of gate lines GL may be configured to provide pixel control signals to the plurality of sub-pixels PX. For example, the pixel control signals may include scan signals, or may include scan signals and light emission control signals, or may include scan signals, reset control signals, and light emission control signals.
[0181] In an exemplary embodiment, the second direction D2 may be the extension direction of the grid line GL within the display area AA (e.g., the row direction); the first direction D1 may be the extension direction of the data line within the display area AA (e.g., the column direction). The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 may intersect each other, for example, they may be perpendicular to each other.
[0182] In an exemplary embodiment, a pixel unit of the display area AA may include three sub-pixels, which may be a first sub-pixel emitting a first color light (e.g., red light), a second sub-pixel emitting a second color light (e.g., blue light), and a third sub-pixel emitting a third color light (e.g., green light). However, this embodiment is not limited thereto. In an exemplary embodiment, a pixel unit may include four sub-pixels, which may be a sub-pixel emitting red light, a sub-pixel emitting green light, a sub-pixel emitting blue light, and a sub-pixel emitting white light. For example, a pixel unit may include four sub-pixels, which may include one sub-pixel emitting red light, one sub-pixel emitting blue light, and two sub-pixels emitting green light.
[0183] In an exemplary embodiment, a sub-pixel may include a pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting element electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit. The pixel driving circuit may include multiple transistors and at least one capacitor. For example, the pixel driving circuit may be a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C, or 8T1C structure. In the above circuit structures, T refers to a thin-film transistor, C refers to a capacitor, the number before T represents the number of thin-film transistors in the circuit, and the number before C represents the number of capacitors in the circuit. In an exemplary embodiment, the multiple transistors in the pixel driving circuit may include P-type transistors and N-type transistors. In other examples, the multiple transistors in the pixel driving circuit may be either P-type transistors or N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistors in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the processing difficulty of the display substrate, and improve the product yield.
[0184] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the light-emitting element of a sub-pixel can be rectangular, rhomboid, pentagonal, or hexagonal. When a pixel unit includes three sub-pixels, the light-emitting elements of the three sub-pixels can be arranged horizontally side-by-side, vertically side-by-side, or in a triangular arrangement; when a pixel unit includes four sub-pixels, the light-emitting elements of the four sub-pixels can be arranged horizontally side-by-side, vertically side-by-side, or in a square arrangement. However, this embodiment is not limited in this respect.
[0185] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting element can be any of the following: a light-emitting diode (LED), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), or a micro-LED (including mini-LED or micro-LED). For example, the light-emitting element can be an OLED, which can emit red, green, blue, or white light under the drive of its corresponding pixel driving circuit. The color of the light emitted by the light-emitting element can be determined as needed. In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting element may include an anode, a cathode, and an organic light-emitting layer located between the anode and the cathode. The anode of the light-emitting element can be electrically connected to the corresponding pixel driving circuit. However, this embodiment is not limited in this respect.

This disclosure uses a display substrate comprising two gate metal layers and two source / drain metal layers as an example for illustration. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. In other examples, a bottom shielding metal layer (BSM) can be disposed on the side of the first insulating layer near the substrate. The bottom shielding metal layer can be configured to at least partially cover the active layer of the transistors in the pixel driving circuit to prevent external light from affecting the performance of the transistors.

In this example, the first transition electrode 241 can be used to achieve the electrical connection between the pixel driving circuit and the light-emitting element.

For example, each light-emitting element may include a first electrode 131, an organic light-emitting layer 132, and a second electrode 133 stacked thereon. The first electrode 131 of the light-emitting element may be an anode, and the first electrode 131 may be disposed on an eighth insulating layer 108 and electrically connected to a first transition electrode 241 through a sixth pixel via formed in the eighth insulating layer 108.

Under the voltage drive of the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 133, the light-emitting characteristics of the organic material can be utilized to emit light at the required grayscale.
[0197] In exemplary embodiments, the light-emitting layers of light-emitting elements of different colors can be different. For example, a red light-emitting element includes a red light-emitting layer, a green light-emitting element includes a green light-emitting layer, and a blue light-emitting element includes a blue light-emitting layer. To reduce process complexity and improve yield, the hole injection layer and hole transport layer on one side of the light-emitting layer can be common layers, and the electron injection layer and electron transport layer on the other side of the light-emitting layer can also be common layers. In exemplary embodiments, any one or more of the hole injection layer, hole transport layer, electron injection layer, and electron transport layer can be fabricated in a single process (single vapor deposition process or single inkjet printing process), and isolation can be achieved through surface steps of the formed film layers or through surface treatment. For example, any one or more of the hole injection layer, hole transport layer, electron injection layer, and electron transport layer corresponding to adjacent sub-pixels can be isolated.

Inorganic materials have high density and can prevent the intrusion of water, oxygen, etc. The second encapsulation layer 142 may be disposed between the first encapsulation layer 141 and the third encapsulation layer 143 to ensure that external moisture cannot enter the light-emitting element. The second encapsulation layer 142 may be made of organic materials, for example, it may be a polymer material containing a desiccant or a polymer material that can block moisture, or it may be a polymer resin to planarize the surface of the display substrate and relieve stress on the first encapsulation layer 141 and the third encapsulation layer 143. It may also include a desiccant or other water-absorbing material to absorb water, oxygen, and other substances that have intruded into the interior. However, this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0337] The following description uses the fabrication process of a display substrate as an example. The "patterning process" described in this disclosure includes, for metallic, inorganic, or transparent conductive materials, processes such as photoresist coating, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping; for organic materials, it includes processes such as organic material coating, 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 prepared 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.
