[0056] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, but not limit the present application. For ease of description, only parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, but not all structures.
[0057] It should be noted that "have", "contain", "include" and the like described in the present application are open-ended, that is, when a module is described as "having", "containing" or "including" a first element, a second element and / or a third element, it means that the module includes other elements in addition to the first element, the second element and / or the third element. In addition, the ordinal numbers "first", "second" and "third" in the present application are not intended to limit the order, but only to distinguish the parts. In the present application, when layer A and layer B are described as "disposed in the same layer", it means that layer A and layer B are made of the same material and the same process.
[0058] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a display panel in the prior art, and FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of a data signal line in the display panel shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1, in the prior art, some columns of sub-pixels include red sub-pixels R and blue sub-pixels B arranged alternately along the column direction, the pixel circuits corresponding to the red sub-pixels R and the blue sub-pixels B in the same column are electrically connected to the same data signal line Data, and the pixel circuits corresponding to the red sub-pixels R and the blue sub-pixels B are respectively provided with data signals by the same data signal line Data. Referring to FIG. 2, because the voltages of the data signals required by the red sub-pixels R and the blue sub-pixels B are different, the voltage of the data signal on the data signal line Data needs to jump between two different voltage values, as shown in FIG. 2. When displaying a picture, for example, a red, blue or white monochrome picture, there is a large voltage fluctuation on the data signal line Data, thereby increasing the power consumption of the display controller (for example, a driving chip).
[0059] Based on the defects of the prior art described above, the present application provides a display panel, FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a partial film layer structure of the display panel shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the display panel can include: a plurality of data signal lines Data, the plurality of data signal lines Data extend along a first direction X and are arranged along a second direction Y, the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect; a plurality of first pixel circuits 10, the plurality of first pixel circuits 10 arranged along the first direction X are electrically connected to the same data signal line Data; a plurality of first pixel circuit columns 10c and a plurality of first light emitting element columns 20c; the first pixel circuit column 10c includes a plurality of first pixel circuits 10 arranged along the first direction X; the first light emitting element column 20c includes two light emitting elements 20 of different light emitting colors arranged along the first direction X, and the two light emitting elements 20 of different light emitting colors are respectively electrically connected to the first pixel circuits 10 located in different first pixel circuit columns 10c, and the plurality of first pixel circuits 10 in the same first pixel circuit column 10c are electrically connected to a plurality of light emitting elements 20 of the same color.
[0060] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the display panel can include a plurality of data signal lines Data, a plurality of pixel circuits and a plurality of light emitting elements 20. The plurality of pixel circuits include a plurality of first pixel circuits 10, which are arranged in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y. The first direction X shown in FIG. 3 can be a column direction, and the second direction Y can be a row direction, which is not limited in practice. In the present embodiment, the first direction X is taken as the column direction, and the second direction Y is taken as the row direction as an example for description. The plurality of first pixel circuits 10 arranged along the first direction X form a first pixel circuit column 10c, and the plurality of first pixel circuit columns 10c are arranged along the second direction Y. One data signal line Data is electrically connected to the plurality of first pixel circuits 10 arranged along the first direction X, that is, one data signal line Data is connected to the plurality of first pixel circuits 10 in the same first pixel circuit column 10c, and the plurality of first pixel circuits 10 arranged along the first direction X are transmitted with data signals by the same data signal line Data. FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the electrical connection relationship among the data signal line Data, the first pixel circuit 10 and the light emitting element 20, rather than an actual wiring diagram. In FIG. 3, one data signal line Data is connected to the light emitting element 20 of one color through one column of first pixel circuits 10.
[0061] With continuous reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the pixel circuit is electrically connected to the light emitting element 20, so as to drive the light emitting element 20 to emit light and realize the display of the display panel. The plurality of light emitting elements 20 include at least two kinds of light emitting elements 20 of different colors, and the light emitting element 20 can be an organic light emitting diode. The plurality of light emitting elements 20 arranged along the first direction X form a first light emitting element column 20c, and the plurality of first light emitting element columns 20c are arranged along the second direction Y. The same first light emitting element column 20c includes at least two kinds of light emitting elements 20 of different colors, that is, the plurality of light emitting elements 20 arranged along the first direction X include light emitting elements 20 of different colors. In FIG. 3, the light emitting elements 20 of different colors are represented by rhombus patterns with different fill patterns. In the present embodiment, the light emitting elements 20 of different colors in the same first light emitting element column 20c are electrically connected to the first pixel circuits 10 in different first pixel circuit columns 10c, and the plurality of first pixel circuits 10 in the same first pixel circuit column 10c are electrically connected to the plurality of light emitting elements 20 of the same color, that is, the same column of first pixel circuits 10 is connected to the light emitting elements 20 of the same color, and the light emitting elements 20 connected by the same column of first pixel circuits 10 are located in different first light emitting element columns 20c. Along the thickness direction of the display panel, the first pixel circuit column 10c can overlap the first light emitting element column 20c, that is, the first pixel circuit column 10c overlaps at least two kinds of light emitting elements 20 of different colors.
[0062] In this arrangement, the plurality of first pixel circuits 10 connected to the same data signal line Data are connected to the same color light emitting elements 20 in different first light emitting element columns 20c, and the data signal line Data provides data signals to the same color light emitting elements 20 in different first light emitting element columns 20c through the plurality of first pixel circuits 10 arranged along the first direction X.
[0063] FIG. 5 is a timing diagram of the data signal line in the display panel shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIGS. 3-5, since the same data signal line Data is connected to the same color light emitting elements 20, the data signal required by the light emitting elements 20 of one color on the data signal line Data is only one stable data signal, or the data signal line Data no longer needs to provide a data signal with varying voltage values, and there is no problem of voltage jump of the data signal on the data signal line Data, thereby solving the problem of large power consumption of the display controller (driver chip) in the related art, achieving the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the display controller, and further reducing the overall power consumption of the display panel. According to tests, the power consumption of the display controller can be reduced by about 25% using the scheme in the application embodiment. In addition, since there is no need to transmit a varying data signal on the same data signal line Data, the problem of easy coupling of the jumping data signal with other signals can also be avoided, ensuring the stability of signal transmission in the display panel.
[0064] For example, the first light emitting element column 20c can include red light emitting elements and blue light emitting elements arranged along the first direction X, and the red light emitting elements and the blue light emitting elements arranged along the first direction X are connected to different first pixel circuit columns 10, or the red light emitting elements and the blue light emitting elements connected to the same first pixel circuit column 10 are located in different first light emitting element columns 20c. The arrangement of light emitting elements 20 of different colors is more uniform, which is conducive to improving color deviation and jaggedness and improving the display effect of the display panel.
[0065] In the embodiments shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the two kinds of light emitting elements 20 with different light emitting colors are respectively electrically connected with the first pixel circuits 10 in two columns of the first pixel circuit columns 10c, that is, the multiple light emitting elements 20 with one color in the same first light emitting element column 20c are electrically connected with the multiple first pixel circuits 10 in one column of the first pixel circuit columns 10c, and the multiple light emitting elements 20 with another color are electrically connected with the multiple first pixel circuits 10 in another column of the first pixel circuit columns 10c, which is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the multiple light emitting elements 20 with one color in the same first light emitting element column 20c can be electrically connected with the first pixel circuits 10 in two or more columns of the first pixel circuit columns 10c, and the multiple light emitting elements 20 with another color can be electrically connected with the first pixel circuits 10 in another two or more columns of the first pixel circuit columns 10c, as long as the light emitting elements 20 connected with the first pixel circuits 10 in the same column are of the same color, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0066] It should be noted that in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the dashed line extending along the first direction and with thick line can be understood as the approximate position of the boundary between the two adjacent columns of pixel circuit columns, and the dashed line extending along the second direction and with thick line can be the approximate position of the boundary between the two adjacent rows of pixel circuit rows.
[0067] The display panel provided by the embodiments of the present application includes multiple data signal lines, multiple first pixel circuit columns and multiple first light emitting element columns. The multiple first pixel circuits arranged along the first direction are electrically connected with the same data signal line. The multiple first pixel circuit columns include multiple first pixel circuits arranged along the first direction, and the multiple first light emitting element columns include light emitting elements with different light emitting colors arranged along the first direction. Two kinds of light emitting elements with different light emitting colors are electrically connected with the first pixel circuits in different first pixel circuit columns, and the multiple first pixel circuits in the same first pixel circuit column are electrically connected with multiple light emitting elements with the same color. By using the above scheme, the multiple first pixel circuits connected with the same data signal line are electrically connected with the light emitting elements with the same color in different first light emitting element columns. Only the data signal required by the light emitting elements with one color can be transmitted on one data signal line, so that stable data signal is transmitted on the data signal, and the data signal voltage on the data signal line does not jump, thereby reducing the power consumption of the display controller and the display panel.
[0068] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the light emitting element in the first light emitting element column 20c is connected with the first pixel circuit 10, which can mean that the light emitting element in the first light emitting element column 20c is connected with one node of the first pixel circuit 10. FIG. 6 is a circuit schematic diagram of a first pixel circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 7 is a driving timing diagram of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6. The setting mode of the first pixel circuit 10 has diversity, and FIG. 6 takes the pixel circuit as an example to illustrate "8T1C", wherein "T" represents a transistor, and "C" represents a capacitor. The embodiment of the present application is only used as an example for illustration, and other pixel circuits, such as "6T1C", "7T1C" pixel circuits, etc. are within the scope of the technical solutions protected in the embodiment of the present application.
[0069] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the pixel circuit 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 transistor T5, a second light emitting control transistor T6, a reset transistor T7, and a storage capacitor Cst. The pixel circuit shown in FIG. 6 further includes a bias transistor T8. For the working process of the pixel circuit, reference is made to FIGS. 6 and 7. The first scan signal line S1 can control the on or off of the initialization transistor T5 of the pixel circuit, and reset the gate potential of the driving transistor T3 when the initialization transistor T5 is turned on, i.e., the initialization signal of the initialization signal line VREF1 is transmitted to the initialization transistor T5, and the connection node (the first node N1) of the driving transistor T3, the initialization transistor T5, the threshold compensation transistor T4, and the storage capacitor Cst is reset. The third scan signal line SP* controls the on or off of the data writing transistor T2 of the pixel circuit, and writes the data signal on the data signal line Data to the gate of the driving transistor T3 when the data writing transistor T2 is turned on. The second scan signal line S2 can control the on or off of the threshold compensation transistor T4, and compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3 when the threshold compensation transistor T4 is turned on. Meanwhile, the fourth scan signal line SP controls the on or off of the reset transistor T7, and resets the anode of the light emitting element connected to the pixel circuit when the reset transistor T7 is turned on, i.e., the reset signal of the reset signal line VREF2 is transmitted to the anode of the light emitting element. The light emitting control signal line EMIT controls the on or off of the first light emitting control transistor T1 and the second light emitting control transistor T6, and the power signal transmitted by the power signal line PVDD is transmitted to the light emitting element when the first light emitting control transistor T1 and the second light emitting control transistor T6 are controlled to be turned on, so as to realize the display and light emission of the light emitting element. As shown in FIG. 6, the pixel circuit further includes a bias transistor T8. The fourth scan signal line SP controls the on or off of the bias transistor T8, and biases the driving transistor T3 when the bias transistor T8 is turned on, i.e., the bias signal of the bias voltage signal line DVH is transmitted to the bias transistor T8, and the connection node (the second node N2) of the driving transistor T3, the first light emitting control transistor T1, and the data writing transistor T2 is biased, so as to ensure the working stability of the driving transistor T3. It can be understood that the bias transistor T8 can also be electrically connected to the third node N3 (the connection node of the driving transistor T3, the second light emitting control transistor T6, and the threshold compensation transistor T4), or the bias transistor T8 is electrically connected to the second node N2 and the third node N3 at the same time. The bias signal of the bias voltage signal line DVH includes an enabled level and a disabled level. The enabled level can turn on the bias transistor T8; and the disabled level can turn off (or cut off) the bias transistor T8.By setting the bias transistor T8, the first frame brightness during picture display can be improved, the first frame brightness can be prevented from being too low, and the picture display effect consistency is ensured to be good. In addition, under low-frequency driving, the leakage is more obvious, by controlling the bias transistor T8 to be turned on, and by using the bias transistor T8 to write a bias voltage to the source and / or drain of the driving transistor T3, the bias state of the driving transistor T3 can be maintained consistent with the bias state when the data voltage is just written, so that the stability of the working state of the driving transistor T3 is improved, the low-frequency flicker is improved, and the picture display effect of the display panel is improved.
[0070] For example, with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the initialization transistor T5 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 in the pixel circuit are N-type transistors, and the other transistors are P-type transistors. An enabled level can turn on a transistor, and a non-enabled level can turn off (or cut off) the transistor. The non-enabled level of the light-emitting control signal EMIT is a high level, and the enabled level is a low level. The enabled level of the signals transmitted by the first scan signal line S1 and the second scan signal line S2 is a high level, and the non-enabled level is a low level. The enabled level of the signals transmitted by the fourth scan signal line SP and the third scan signal line SP* is a low level, and the non-enabled level is a high level. In one driving period Y of the pixel circuit, the gate signal transmitted by the light-emitting control signal line EMIT includes a plurality of non-enabled level stages and a plurality of enabled level stages, and the plurality of non-enabled level stages and the plurality of enabled level stages are arranged alternately. When the light-emitting control signal line EMIT is at the non-enabled level, the first light-emitting control transistor T1 and the second light-emitting control transistor T6 are cut off. When the light-emitting control signal line EMIT is at the enabled level, the first light-emitting control transistor T1 and the second light-emitting control transistor T6 are turned on.
[0071] In one driving period Y of the pixel circuit, the driving period Y includes a data writing stage Y1, a light-emitting stage Y2, and a light-emitting maintaining stage Y3. The data writing stage Y1 includes one non-enabled level stage of the light-emitting control signal EMIT. The light-emitting stage Y2 includes one enabled level stage of the light-emitting control signal EMIT. In the light-emitting maintaining stage Y3, the light-emitting control signal EMIT includes a plurality of non-enabled level stages and at least one enabled level stage (one enabled level stage is taken as an example in FIG. 7 for illustration). Meanwhile, the level of the bias voltage signal line DVH in the data writing stage Y1 and the light-emitting stage Y2 can be the same as or different from the level of the bias voltage signal line DVH in the light-emitting maintaining stage Y3 (as shown in FIG. 7).
[0072] In the data writing stage Y1, a first bias adjusting stage Y11 is included, in which the signal transmitted by the fourth scan signal line SP includes at least one low level period, and the signal transmitted by the second scan signal line S2 includes at least one high level period, in other words, in the first bias adjusting stage Y11, at least the bias transistor T8 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 are turned on, the bias signal of the bias voltage signal line DVH is transmitted to the driving transistor T3 through the bias transistor T8, and is re-transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T3 through the threshold compensation transistor T4, that is, in the first bias adjusting stage Y11, the bias signal can perform bias adjustment on the first node N1, the second node N2 and the third node N3. The data writing stage Y1 also includes an initialization and second bias adjusting stage Y12, in which the signal transmitted by the second scan signal line S2 includes at least one high level period, and there is also a period in which the signal transmitted by the second scan signal line S2 includes at least one high level period, in other words, in the initialization and second bias adjusting stage Y12, the initialization transistor T5 is turned on, and the threshold compensation transistor T4 is also turned on later, the initialization signal line VREF1 can adjust the gate of the driving transistor T3 through the initialization transistor T5, and the initialization signal line VREF1 can also adjust the third node N3 through the initialization transistor T5 and the threshold compensation transistor T4.
[0073] The data writing stage Y1 also includes a data signal writing stage Y13, in which the signal transmitted by the second scan signal line S2 includes a high level period, and the signal transmitted by the third scan signal line SP* includes at least one low level 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 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 also includes a third bias adjusting stage Y14, in which the signal transmitted by the fourth scan signal line SP includes at least one low level period, and the second stage N2 can be biased and adjusted again through the bias transistor T8 during this period.
[0074] If a driving period Y of the pixel circuit is a low frequency period, the driving period Y includes the data writing stage Y1, the light emitting stage Y2 and the light emitting maintaining stage Y3, and if a driving period Y of the pixel circuit is a high frequency period, the driving period Y includes the data writing stage Y1 and the light emitting stage Y2.
[0075] Optionally, the types of the transistors in the pixel circuit are diverse. For example, the transistors can all be low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) transistors, or all be Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) transistors, or part be LTPS transistors and part be IGZO transistors. The LTPS transistors have the advantages of high switching speed, high carrier mobility and small power, and the IGZO transistors have the advantage of small leakage current. The display panel of low temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) combining LTPO and IGZO has the advantages of high resolution, high reaction speed, high brightness, high aperture ratio and small leakage current of the LTPS display panel. For example, the first light-emitting control transistor T1, the data writing transistor T2, the driving transistor T3, the second light-emitting control transistor T6 and the reset transistor T7 can be PMOS transistors; the threshold compensation transistor T4 and the initialization transistor T5 can be at least one PMOS transistor or at least one NMOS transistor. The threshold compensation transistor T4 and the initialization transistor T5 are taken as examples of NMOS transistors in the embodiments of the present application. Based on the type of the display panel, the embodiments of the present application are not limited and can be adjusted according to actual production needs.
[0076] In addition, the threshold compensation transistor T4 and the initialization transistor T5 can be single-gate transistors or double-gate transistors. When double-gate transistors are used, the leakage current of the transistors is reduced and the display effect of the display panel is improved. The threshold compensation transistor T4 and the initialization transistor T5 are taken as examples of top-bottom double-gate transistors in the embodiments of the present application.
[0077] As shown in FIG. 6, the reset transistor T7 and the second light-emitting control transistor T6 are connected to the anode of the light-emitting element, and the connection node of the reset transistor T7, the second light-emitting control transistor T6 and the anode of the light-emitting element is the fourth node N4. The pixel circuit is connected to the anode of the light-emitting element through the fourth node N4.

[0096] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, the i-th column and j-th first pixel circuit 10 (i.e., the i j th first pixel circuit 10i j ) can be connected to the p-th column and q-th light emitting element (i.e., the p q20p light-emitting elements q Electrical connection; the first pixel circuit 10 of the i-th column (j+1) (i.e., the i-th...) (j+1) The first pixel circuit 10i (j+1) It can be used with the (p+1)th column and (q+1)th light-emitting element (i.e., the (p+1)th... (q+1) 20 (p+1) light-emitting elements (q+1) Electrical connection; the first pixel circuit 10 of the (i+1)th column (j)th pixel (i.e., the (i+1)th pixel) j 10(i+1) first pixel circuits j It can be used with the q-th light-emitting element in the (p+1)-th column (i.e., the (p+1)-th... q 20 (p+1) light-emitting elements q Electrical connection; the first pixel circuit 10 in the (i+1)th column (j+1)th pixel (i.e., the (i+1)th pixel). (j+1) 10(i+1) first pixel circuits (j+1) It can be used with the (q+1)th light-emitting element in the p-th column (i.e., the p-th...) (q+1) 20p light-emitting elements (q+1) Electrical connection. That is, in the first pixel circuit column 10c of the i-th column, part of the first pixel circuit 10 is electrically connected to the first color light-emitting element R in the first light-emitting element column 20c of the p-th column, and another part of the first pixel circuit 10 is electrically connected to the first color light-emitting element R in the first light-emitting element column 20c of the (p+1)-th column. The first pixel circuit 10 connected to the first color light-emitting element R in the first light-emitting element column 20c of the p-th column and the first pixel circuit 10 connected to the first color light-emitting element R in the first light-emitting element column 20c of the (p+1)-th column are arranged alternately along the first direction X. In the (i+1)th column of the first pixel circuit 10c, a portion of the first pixel circuit 10 is electrically connected to the second color light-emitting element B in the pth column of the first light-emitting element 20c, and another portion of the first pixel circuit 10 is electrically connected to the second color light-emitting element B in the (p+1)th column of the first light-emitting element 20c. The first pixel circuit 10 connected to the second color light-emitting element B in the pth column of the first light-emitting element 20c and the first pixel circuit 10 connected to the second color light-emitting element B in the (p+1)th column of the first light-emitting element 20c are arranged alternately along the first direction X. The first color light-emitting elements R in the pth column of the first light-emitting element 20c and the (p+1)th column of the first light-emitting element 20c can be electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 10 in the ith column of the first pixel circuit 10c, and the second color light-emitting elements B in the pth column of the first light-emitting element 20c and the (p+1)th column of the first light-emitting element 20c can be electrically connected to the first pixel circuit 10 in the (i+1)th column of the first pixel circuit 10c.
[0097] For example, when i, j, p and q are equal and all are 1, the first pixel circuit 10 in the first column and the first row can be electrically connected with the first light emitting element (first color light emitting element R) in the first column and the first row, the second pixel circuit 10 in the first column and the second row can be electrically connected with the second light emitting element (first color light emitting element R) in the second column and the second row, the first pixel circuit 10 in the second column and the first row can be electrically connected with the first light emitting element (second color light emitting element B) in the first column and the first row, and the second pixel circuit 10 in the second column and the second row can be electrically connected with the second light emitting element (second color light emitting element B) in the first column and the second row.
[0098] It should be noted that the light emitting elements in the pth column and the (p+1)th column are the light emitting elements in the adjacent first light emitting element column 20c, and do not include the light emitting elements in the second light emitting element column 21c.
[0099] It can be understood that the display panel includes two adjacent first pixel circuit columns (the first alpha pixel circuit column and the first beta pixel circuit column) and two adjacent first light emitting element columns (the first alpha light emitting element column and the first beta light emitting element column), and the first pixel circuit column and the first light emitting element column correspond to each other, and it can also be understood that the first pixel circuit column and the first light emitting element column are overlapped in the thickness direction of the display panel. For example, the first alpha pixel circuit column and the first alpha light emitting element column are overlapped, and the first beta pixel circuit column and the first beta light emitting element column are overlapped. For the first alpha light emitting element column, a part of the light emitting elements in the first alpha light emitting element column are electrically connected with a part of the first pixel circuits in the first alpha pixel circuit column, and another part of the light emitting elements in the first alpha light emitting element column are electrically connected with a part of the first pixel circuits in the first beta pixel circuit column. For the first beta light emitting element column, a part of the light emitting elements in the first beta light emitting element column are electrically connected with another part of the first pixel circuits in the first alpha pixel circuit column, and another part of the light emitting elements in the first beta light emitting element column are electrically connected with another part of the first pixel circuits in the first beta pixel circuit column. For example, the red light emitting elements in the first alpha light emitting element column can be electrically connected with a part of the first pixel circuits in the first alpha pixel circuit column, and the blue light emitting elements in the first alpha light emitting element column are electrically connected with a part of the first pixel circuits in the first beta pixel circuit column; the red light emitting elements in the first beta light emitting element column can be electrically connected with a part of the first pixel circuits in the first alpha pixel circuit column, and the blue light emitting elements in the first beta light emitting element column are electrically connected with another part of the first pixel circuits in the first beta pixel circuit column.
[0100] In other words, for one or several rows of first pixel circuit rows, the light emitting elements thereof are not electrically connected with the pixel circuits directly below, but are electrically connected with other pixel circuits. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the adjacent two light emitting elements in a row of light emitting elements exchange the corresponding first pixel circuits with each other, so that a column of first pixel circuits only drives light emitting elements of one color.

The pixel circuit layer 50 is arranged on one side of the substrate 40, and the above first pixel circuit, the data signal line and the anode 22 of the luminescent element 20 can be located in the pixel circuit layer 50. The pixel defining layer 30 is located on the side of the pixel circuit layer 50 away from the substrate 40, and can be located on the side of the film layer where the anode 22 is located away from the substrate 40. The pixel circuit layer 50 includes the plurality of pixel openings 31, and the pixel openings 31 are arranged correspondingly to the anode 22. In the thickness direction Z of the display panel, the pixel opening 31 overlaps the anode 22 of the luminescent element 20, and the anode 22 can be exposed from the pixel opening 31. The display functional layer 60 can include the hole layer 61, the luminescent layer 62 and the electron layer 63, but is not limited thereto, and the above display functional layer 60 is at least located in the pixel opening 31. The side of the display functional layer 60 away from the film layer where the anode is located can further include the cathode layer (not shown in the figure), which can be arranged integrally or include a plurality of separately arranged cathodes. The cathode layer is arranged to provide electrons to the display functional layer 60, and the anode is arranged to provide holes to the display functional layer 60, and the holes and the electrons combine to emit light.
[0103] With reference back to FIGS. 4, 8-10, the anode 22 can include an anode main portion 221 and an anode connecting portion 222, and the anode main portion 221 is connected with the anode connecting portion 222. The anode main portion 221 overlaps the pixel opening 31 along the display panel thickness direction Z, and the anode connecting portion 222 does not overlap the pixel opening 31, and the anode main portion 221 is electrically connected with the corresponding first pixel circuit 10 through the anode connecting portion 222, so as to realize the electrical connection between the light emitting element and the pixel circuit.
[0104] For example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the anode main portion 221 of the i j th first pixel circuit 10i j is electrically connected with the anode connecting portion 222 of the p q th light emitting element 20p q , the anode main portion 221 of the i (j+1) th first pixel circuit 10i (j+1) is electrically connected with the anode connecting portion 222 of the (p+1) (q+1) th light emitting element 20(p+1) (q+1) , the anode main portion 221 of the (i+1) j th first pixel circuit 10(i+1) j is electrically connected with the anode connecting portion 222 of the (p+1) q th light emitting element 20(p+1) q , the anode main portion 221 of the (i+1) (j+1) th first pixel circuit 10(i+1) (j+1) is electrically connected with the anode connecting portion 222 of the p (q+1) th light emitting element 20p (q+1) .
[0105] Optionally, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, based on the arrangement mode of the pixel circuit and the light emitting element in the display panel, when i and p are equal, and j and q are equal, the distance between the anode main portion 221 of the p q th light emitting element 20p q and the anode main portion 221 of the i j th first pixel circuit 10i j in the plane where the substrate 40 is located (the distance between the two projections in the second direction Y) is less than the distance between the anode main portion 221 of the (p+1) (q+1) th light emitting element 20(p+1) (q+1) and the anode main portion 221 of the i (j+1) th first pixel circuit 10i (j+1) in the plane (the distance between the two projections in the second direction Y). Therefore, the extension length of the anode connecting portion 222 of the p q th light emitting element 20p q in the plane where the substrate 40 is located can be set to be less than the extension length of the anode connecting portion 222 of the (p+1)(q+1) the (p+1)th light emitting element 20(p+1) (q+1) the extension length of the anode connecting portion 222 in the orthogonal projection on the plane where the substrate 40 is located.
[0106] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the area of the pixel opening 31 in the orthogonal projection on the plane where the substrate 40 is located can be smaller than the area of the anode 22 in the orthogonal projection on the plane, that is, the anode 22 can cover the pixel opening 31 along the thickness direction Z of the display panel. In this arrangement, the projection overlap of the anode 22 and the pixel opening 31, and the part similar to the shape of the pixel opening 31 are all referred to as the anode main portion 221, in other words, in the orthogonal projection pattern on the plane where the substrate 40 is located, the part whose edge surrounds and extends in parallel with the pixel opening 31 can be referred to as the anode main portion 221. The anode connecting portion 222 generally refers to the part connected with the anode main portion 221 and having a width much smaller than that of the anode main portion 221. Taking the anode shown in the figures as an example, the regular rhombus part can be referred to as the anode main portion 221, and the part connected with the edge of the rhombus and extending outward of the edge of the rhombus is the anode connecting portion 222.
[0107] The relative positional relationship between the anode main portion 221 and the anode connecting portion 222 can be designed by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Several different design schemes of the anode connecting portion 222 will be introduced below in combination with several embodiments.
[0108] For example, still referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 9, in some embodiments, the anode connecting portion 222 of the (p+1)th light emitting element 20(p+1) q is located on the side of the anode main portion 221 of the (p+1)th light emitting element 20(p+1) q close to the (i+1)th column of first pixel circuit columns 10c; the anode connecting portion 222 of the pth light emitting element 20p (q+1) is located on the side of the anode main portion 221 of the pth light emitting element 20p (q+1) close to the (i+1)th column of first pixel circuit columns 10c.
[0109] As described in the above embodiments, the anode connecting portion 222 of the (p+1)th light emitting element 20(p+1) q is located on the side of the anode main portion 221 of the (p+1)th light emitting element 20(p+1) q close to the (i+1)th column of first pixel circuit columns 10c; and the anode connecting portion 222 of the pth light emitting element 20p (q+1) is located on the side of the anode main portion 221 of the pth light emitting element 20p (q+1)The second color light emitting element B in the pth first light emitting element column 20c and the (p+1)th first light emitting element column 20c can be electrically connected with the first pixel circuit 10 in the (i+1)th first pixel circuit column 10c. The anode main body part 221 of the second color light emitting element B in the pth first light emitting element column 20c and the (p+1)th first light emitting element column 20c can be located on both sides of the (i+1)th first pixel circuit column 10c along the second direction Y, in other words, the anode main body part 221 of the second color light emitting element B in the pth first light emitting element column 20c and the (p+1)th first light emitting element column 20c is located on both sides of the plurality of fourth nodes N4 in the (i+1)th first pixel circuit column 10c.
[0110] On this basis, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 9, in the embodiment, the anode connecting part 222 of the (p+1)th first light emitting element 20(p+1)q can be located on the side of the anode main body part 221 of the (p+1)th first light emitting element 20(p+1)q close to the (i+1)th first pixel circuit column 10c; the anode connecting part 222 of the pth first light emitting element 20p(q+1) can be located on the side of the anode main body part 221 of the pth first light emitting element 20p(q+1) close to the (i+1)th first pixel circuit column 10c. So that the anode connecting part 222 of the second color light emitting element B in the pth first light emitting element column 20c extends towards the direction close to the (p+1)th first light emitting element column 20c and is connected with the fourth node N4 of the first pixel circuit 10 in the (i+1)th first pixel circuit column 10c; the anode connecting part 222 of the second color light emitting element B in the (p+1)th first light emitting element column 20c extends towards the direction close to the pth first light emitting element column 20c and is connected with the fourth node N4 of the first pixel circuit 10 in the (i+1)th first pixel circuit column 10c. In this arrangement, the fourth node N4 of the (p+1)th first light emitting element 20(p+1) and the (i+1)th first pixel circuit 10(i+1) connected therewith are closer in the second direction Y, the fourth node N4 of the pth first light emitting element 20p and the (i+1)th first pixel circuit 10(i+1) connected therewith are closer in the second direction Y, which can reduce the length of the anode connecting part 222 of the light emitting element, and facilitate the connection of the light emitting element and the corresponding first pixel circuit 10. q q (q+1) (q+1) q q j j (q+1) (q+1) (j+1) (j+1)
[0111] For example, as shown in Figure 4, along the left-to-right direction in the figure, the anode connection portion 222 of the first light-emitting element in the second column is located on the side of its anode body portion 221 close to the first pixel circuit 10c in the second column and extends to the first pixel circuit 10 in the second column. The anode connection portion 222 of the second light-emitting element in the first column is located on the side of its anode body portion 221 close to the first pixel circuit 10c in the second column and extends to the second pixel circuit 10 in the second column.

[0119] In the embodiments shown in Figures 15 and 16, the (p+1)th... (q+1) 20 (p+1) light-emitting elements (q+1) The anode connection portion 222 includes a fifth end portion 2225 and a sixth end portion 2226, wherein the fifth end portion 2225 is close to the (p+1)th end portion in the direction of the plane where the substrate 40 is located.

[0120] In the settings shown in Figures 15 and 16, the p-th... (q+1) 20p light-emitting elements (q+1) The connecting end portion of the anode connection portion 222 near the anode body portion 221, and the (p+1)th... (q+1) 20 (p+1) light-emitting elements (q+1) In the anode connection portion 222, the connection ends near the anode body portion 221 are located on the same side of their respective anode body portions 221 (e.g., the left side in the figure). In the adjacent first color light-emitting elements R and second color light-emitting elements B along the second direction Y, the orientation of the anode connection portions 222 near their respective anode body portions 221 is the same. This also ensures that both the first end portion 2221 and the second end portion 2222 have ample arrangement space. Furthermore, in the embodiments shown in Figures 15 and 16, the extension lengths of the anode connection portions 222 of the first color light-emitting element R and the second color light-emitting element B in the (p+1)th column of the first light-emitting element column 20c in the second direction Y are close, for example, both greater than or equal to the extension length of the anode body portion 221 of the second color light-emitting element B in the second direction Y. This ensures that the wire lengths between the light-emitting elements of different colors in the same column of the first light-emitting element column 20c and the corresponding first pixel circuit 10 are consistent, and the impedances on the signal lines are relatively close.
[0121] In the embodiments shown in Figures 4, 8, and 11 to 16 above, the connection method between the anode 22 of the plurality of first color light-emitting elements R in the first light-emitting element row 20r of the qth row and the corresponding first pixel circuit 10 can be the same, and the connection method between the anode 22 of the plurality of second color light-emitting elements B in the first light-emitting element row 20r of the qth row and the corresponding first pixel circuit 10 can be the same, and both are the same as in the related art. There is no need to change the connection method between the first color light-emitting elements R and the second color light-emitting elements B in the first light-emitting element row 20r of the qth row and the corresponding first pixel circuit 10, which can simplify the process.
[0122] Referring to Figures 4, 8, and 11-16, the display panel also includes a substrate 40 and a virtual connection structure 223; the orthographic projection of the virtual connection structure 223 onto the plane of the substrate 40 is located at the p-th position. q 20p light-emitting elements q The anode main body 221 is projected onto the side of the plane containing the substrate 40; and / or, the virtual connection structure 223 is projected onto the plane containing the substrate 40 at the (p+1)th position. q 20 (p+1) light-emitting elements q The anode body 221 is on the side of the plane where the substrate 40 is located, as projected.
[0123] Referring again to the embodiments shown in Figures 3, 4, 8, and 11-16, the light-emitting elements 20 in different columns of the first light-emitting element row 20r in the qth row are respectively connected to the first pixel circuits 10 in different columns of the first pixel circuit row 10r in the jth row. When q = j and p = i, the distance between the light-emitting elements 20 in the first light-emitting element row 20r in the qth row and the corresponding connected first pixel circuits 10 in the plane direction of the substrate 40 is small, and the overall extension length of the anode connection portion 222 in the first light-emitting element row 20r in the qth row is small. However, at least some columns of the light-emitting elements 20 in the first light-emitting element row 20r in the (q+1)th row need to be connected to the first pixel circuits 10 in every other column, for example, in the (p+1)th row. (q+1) The light-emitting element 20(p+1)(q+1) and the i-th (j+1) The first pixel circuit 10i (j+1) The connection results in a larger overall extension length of the anode connection portion 222 in the first light-emitting element row 20r of row (q+1).
[0124] When the length of the anode connecting part 222 in the odd row and the even row is different, it can cause the difference of the wire impedance (or RC Loading) of the odd row and the even row, and the difference of the light reflectivity of the anode connecting part 222, thereby affecting the signal transmission and causing the visual effect problem. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application proposes that a virtual connection structure 223 can be added in the display panel, and the orthographic projection of the virtual connection structure 223 on the plane where the substrate 40 is located can be close to the first light emitting element row 20r of the qth row.

[0129] p q There is a break between the orthographic projection of the anode body of each light-emitting element onto the plane of the substrate and the orthographic projection of the virtual connection structure 223 onto the plane of the substrate.

In this case, the virtual connection structure 223 ensures that the distribution density or coverage area of the metal structure between different rows of pixel circuits is the same, that the light transmittance and reflectance between different rows of pixel circuits are the same or similar, and that the light transmission effect and visual effect of the display panel are the same or similar.

[0132] The shape of the virtual connection structure 223 is similar to that of the anode connection part 222, the length of the virtual connection structure 223 is L1, the width is D1, the length of the anode connection part 222 is L2, and the width is D2, wherein |L1-L2| / L1≤20%, |D1-D2| / D1≤20%. As shown in FIGS. 4, 9-12, the virtual connection structure 223 and the anode connection part 222 can be set to have the same or similar shape, length, and width, and the like, to further improve the impedance consistency of the odd and even row pixel wires.
[0133] Optionally, referring to FIGS. 4, 8, 11, and 12, the virtual connection structure 223 and the anode connection part 222 are staggered in the first direction X and / or the second direction Y.
[0134] As shown in FIGS. 4, 8, 11, and 12, the anode connection part 222 of the (p+1) (q+1) th light emitting element 20(p+1) (q+1) (R, first color light emitting element) has a relatively long extension length, and in order to balance the impedance of the anode connection part 222, the virtual connection structure 223 can be set to overlap or have a break with the first color light emitting element R in the qth row of first light emitting element rows 20r. The virtual connection structure 223 and the anode connection part 222 are located in different first light emitting element rows 20r, and thus are staggered along the second direction Y.
[0135] Based on the scheme that the first color light emitting element R and the second color light emitting element B are alternately arranged in the first direction X and the second direction Y, in the qth row of first light emitting element rows 20r, the first color light emitting element R closest to the (p+1) (q+1) th light emitting element 20(p+1) (q+1) is the (p+2) q th light emitting element (the (p+2)th row qth column light emitting element in the figure), and thus the virtual connection structure 223 can be set to overlap the orthographic projection of the (p+2) (q) th light emitting element and have the same shape, length, and width as the anode connection part 222 of the (p+1) (q+1) th light emitting element 20(p+1) (q+1) . Since the (p+2) q th light emitting element and the (p+1) (q+1) th light emitting element 20(p+1) (q+1) are staggered in the first direction X, the virtual connection structure 223 and the anode connection part 222 are staggered in the first direction X. In this way, the virtual connection structure 223 and the anode connection part 222 are evenly distributed in the display panel, which improves the impedance consistency while ensuring the display effect.
[0136] In other words, there is a gap between the orthographic projections of two adjacent anode connection portions 222 on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the virtual connection structure 223 on the substrate and the gap overlap along the first direction; or, along the first direction, the orthographic projection of the virtual connection structure 223 on the substrate is located between the orthographic projections of two adjacent anode connection portions 222 on the substrate.
[0137] Optionally, in some embodiments, the virtual connection structure 223 and the anode connection portion 222 are disposed in the same layer. In this way, the virtual connection structure 223 and the anode connection portion 222 can be fabricated in the same process, which simplifies the process and ensures the accuracy of the formation position of the virtual connection structure 223 and the anode connection portion 222, thus ensuring the impedance balance effect of the virtual connection structure 223 on the anode connection portion 222.

However, it is necessary to ensure that the anode connecting part 222 of one light emitting element is not connected with the anode (including the anode main part 221 and the anode connecting part 222) of other light emitting elements, so as to avoid short circuit of the anodes of different light emitting elements. For example, as shown in FIG. 28 and FIG. 38, the anode connecting part 222 of part of the light emitting elements can be arranged around part of the anode main part 221 of the light emitting element adjacent thereto, so as to extend to the fourth node N4 of the first pixel circuit connected with the light emitting element.

The overall film layers of the display panel corresponding to FIG. 39 to FIG. 42 can be the same as those shown in the embodiment of FIG. 29, and the wiring manner in the first semiconductor layer POLY, the first metal layer M1, the second metal layer MC, the second semiconductor layer IGZO, the fifth metal layer MG and the third metal layer M2 can also be the same as those shown in the embodiment of FIG. 29, which will not be described herein again.
[0170] In the embodiments shown in FIG. 39 to FIG. 42, the anode main part 221 and the anode connecting part 222 are arranged in different layers, for example, the anode main part 221 is located in the anode layer RE, and the anode connecting part 222 can be located in at least one metal layer between the first semiconductor layer POLY and the anode layer RE. In the drawings, the anode connecting part 222 is taken as an example located in the fourth metal layer M3, and the anode connecting part 222 and the anode main part 221 are connected through a via hole, so that the anode connecting part 222 can be partially arranged in the same layer as the fourth node N4 and connected therewith, and the anode connecting part 222 and the anode main part 221 can be prepared in the same patterning process. The film layer in which the anode connecting part 222 is located is not limited to the fourth metal layer M3 described above, and at least one of the first metal layer M1, the second metal layer MC, the second semiconductor layer IGZO, the fifth metal layer MG, the fourth metal layer M3 and the sixth metal layer M4 can be arranged to form the anode connecting part 222.
[0171] Optionally, referring to FIG. 29, FIG. 39 to FIG. 42, the film layer in which the anode connecting part 222 is located is located between the film layer in which the anode main part 221 is located and the film layer in which the substrate is located; and at least part of the anode connecting part 222 overlaps the anode main part 221 along the thickness direction of the display panel.
[0172] As shown in FIG. 29 and FIG. 39-42, when the anode connecting part 222 is located in at least one conductive film layer between the anode layer RE and the substrate 40, the anode connecting part 222 can be arranged such that the orthogonal projection of the anode connecting part 222 on the plane of the substrate 40 overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the anode main body part 221 on the plane of the substrate 40. In this way, the influence of the anode connecting part 222 on the light transmittance of the display panel can be reduced, and the display effect can be ensured.
[0173] The virtual connecting structure 223 is also shown in FIG. 39-42. The virtual connecting structure 223 can be arranged according to any of the above embodiments, and will not be described here.
[0174] For example, FIG. 43 is a schematic structural diagram of an anode of a light emitting element according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 43, in some embodiments, the anode main body part 221 that overlaps with the anode connecting part 222 in the thickness direction of the display panel includes a first anode main body part 2211; the first anode main body part 2211 includes a first virtual symmetry axis ax1, and the first anode main body part 2211 is symmetrically arranged about the first virtual symmetry axis ax1; in the thickness direction of the display panel, one anode connecting part 222 overlaps with the first anode main body part 2211, and the anode connecting part 222 overlaps with the first virtual symmetry axis ax1.
[0175] As shown in FIG. 43, the anode main body part 221 includes a first anode main body part 2211, and the orthogonal projection of the first anode main body part 2211 on the plane of the substrate 40 is an axisymmetric figure that is symmetric about the first virtual symmetry axis ax1. The extension direction of the first virtual symmetry axis ax1 is not limited, and FIG. 43 is only an example. In actuality, any symmetry axis of the first anode main body part 2211 is the first virtual symmetry axis ax1. In the thickness direction of the display panel, one first anode main body part 2211 overlaps with one anode connecting part 222, and the anode connecting part 222 overlaps with the first virtual symmetry axis ax1, so that the anode connecting part 222 is only possible near the symmetry axis position of the first anode main body part 2211. In the orthogonal projection on the plane of the substrate 40, the anode connecting part 222 is near the axis of the first anode main body part 2211, and the anode connecting part 222 approximately bisects the first anode main body part 2211, so that the two parts of the first anode main body part 2211 divided by the anode connecting part 222 have substantially the same area, the luminance difference of the light emitting element overlapping with the anode connecting part 222 under different observation angles is balanced, and the four-direction color cast problem of the display panel is avoided, thereby improving the display effect.
[0176] For example, FIG. 44 is a schematic structural view of an anode of another light-emitting element provided by embodiments of the present application.

[0196] The first auxiliary sub-portion FIAA1 and the second auxiliary sub-portion FIAA2 have different extension directions, and the first auxiliary sub-portion FIAA1 and the second auxiliary sub-portion FIAA2 can be arranged in a manner of penetrating through the film layer to ensure the electrical connection. For example, the first auxiliary sub-portion FIAA1 can be arranged on a side away from the substrate 40 from the second auxiliary sub-portion FIAA2, for example, the first auxiliary sub-portion FIAA1 in FIGS. 18-28 can be arranged on the fourth metal layer M3, and the second auxiliary sub-portion FIAA2 can be arranged on the third metal layer M2.

[0198] As shown in FIGS. 18-28, along the thickness direction of the display panel, at least part of the first auxiliary sub-portion FIAA1 can overlap with the anode main portion 221 of the first color light emitting element R and / or the anode main portion 221 of the second color light emitting element B, and there are at least two first auxiliary sub-portions FIAA1 overlapping with the same anode main portion 221. In the orthographic projection of the plane where the substrate 40 is located, the two first auxiliary sub-portions FIAA1 overlapping with the same anode main portion 221 are symmetrical about the third virtual symmetry axis ax3. As shown in FIGS. 18-28, the data auxiliary line FIAA can be arranged on a side of the anode layer RE close to the substrate 40, the first auxiliary sub-portion FIAA1 is arranged in a film layer below the anode main portion 221, and the two first auxiliary sub-portions FIAA1 are arranged symmetrically about the third virtual symmetry axis ax3, which approximately divides the anode main portion 221 into three equal parts, so that the three parts of the anode main portion 221 divided by the two first auxiliary sub-portions FIAA1 have substantially the same area, thereby avoiding the four-direction color deviation of the display panel. In addition, since the anode main portion 221 can cover part of the first auxiliary sub-portion FIAA1, the metal material first auxiliary sub-portion FIAA1 can avoid changing the transmission direction of light, and the display effect of the display panel can also be ensured.
[0199] Optionally, continuing to refer to FIG. 28, among the two first auxiliary sub-sections FIAA1 and the two data signal lines Data that overlap with the same anode main section 221 in the thickness direction of the display panel, the first auxiliary sub-section FIAA1 and the data signal line Data on the same side of the third virtual axis of symmetry ax3, the data signal line Data is on the side of the first auxiliary sub-section FIAA1 away from the third virtual axis of symmetry ax3.
[0200] Among the two first auxiliary sub-sections FIAA1 and the two data signal lines Data that overlap with the same anode main section 221 in the thickness direction of the display panel, the first auxiliary sub-section FIAA1 and the data signal line Data on the same side of the third virtual axis of symmetry ax3, the data signal line Data is on the side of the first auxiliary sub-section FIAA1 away from the third virtual axis of symmetry ax3.
[0201] Among the two first auxiliary sub-sections FIAA1 and the two data signal lines Data that overlap with the same anode main section 221 in the thickness direction of the display panel, the first auxiliary sub-section FIAA1 and the data signal line Data on the same side of the third virtual axis of symmetry ax3, the data signal line Data is on the side of the first auxiliary sub-section FIAA1 away from the third virtual axis of symmetry ax3.
[0202] Among the two first auxiliary sub-sections FIAA1 and the two data signal lines Data that overlap with the same anode main section 221 in the thickness direction of the display panel, the first auxiliary sub-section FIAA1 and the data signal line Data on the same side of the third virtual axis of symmetry ax3, the data signal line Data is on the side of the first auxiliary sub-section FIAA1 away from the third virtual axis of symmetry ax3.

[0204] In summary, by reasonably setting the overlapping mode of the anode main body part 221 and the first auxiliary part FIAA1 and the data signal line Data, the influence of the first auxiliary part FIAA1 and the data signal line Data at different positions in the display panel on the anode main body part 221 is the same or similar, and the uniformity of display is ensured.
[0205] Optionally, still referring to FIG. 47, in a possible embodiment, the display panel can further include virtual auxiliary lines DF, which include a first virtual auxiliary line DF1 and a second virtual auxiliary line DF2. As shown in FIG. 47, the first virtual auxiliary line DF1 and the second virtual auxiliary line DF2 are both insulated from the data auxiliary line FIAA. The virtual auxiliary line DF can compensate for the length of the data auxiliary line FIAA. For example, the first virtual auxiliary line DF1 can be set to compensate for the first auxiliary part FIAA1, and the second virtual auxiliary line DF2 can be set to compensate for the second auxiliary part FIAA2. That is, by setting the virtual auxiliary line DF, the wiring of the data auxiliary line FIAA setting area is balanced as a whole, the density of the wiring setting in different areas is balanced, and the difference in light reflectivity in different areas of the display panel caused by unbalanced wiring setting is avoided, thereby avoiding the situation that the display effect of the display panel is unbalanced.
[0206] The virtual auxiliary line DF can be electrically connected to the fixed potential end. On the one hand, it can avoid the interference of the display caused by the coupling of the virtual auxiliary line DF with a floating potential to other signals. On the other hand, it can be connected in parallel with the fixed potential end, thereby reducing the resistance on the fixed signal end or the fixed potential signal line, and ensuring that the loss of the fixed potential signal in the transmission process is small.
