[0118] The embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments of this disclosure can be implemented in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the implementation 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 contents 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.

[0119] In the accompanying drawings, the size of constituent elements, the thickness of layers, or areas may sometimes be exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, any implementation of this disclosure is not necessarily limited to the dimensions shown in the drawings, and the shapes and sizes of components in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate ideal examples, and any implementation of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0120] The ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" in this disclosure are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, rather than to limit the quantity.

[0121] In this disclosure, 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 when describing the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description of embodiments and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element 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 changed depending on the orientation of the described constituent elements. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described herein can be appropriately replaced as appropriate.

[0122] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the meaning of these terms in this disclosure as appropriate.

[0123] In this disclosure, 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 (or drain terminal, drain connection region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (or source terminal, source connection region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. In this disclosure, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0124] In this disclosure, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. When using transistors with opposite polarities or when the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this disclosure, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be interchanged. In this disclosure, the control electrode can be the gate electrode.

[0125] In this disclosure, "electrical connection" includes the situation where constituent elements are connected together by a component having a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "component having a certain electrical function," as long as it enables the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected constituent elements. The "component having a certain electrical function" can be, for example, an electrode or wiring, a switching element such as a transistor, or other functional elements such as a resistor, inductor, or capacitor.

[0126] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a display device. The display substrate may include a timing controller, a data signal driving circuit, a scan signal driving circuit, a light emission signal driving circuit, and a pixel array. The timing controller is connected to the data signal driving circuit, the scan signal driving circuit, and the light emission signal driving circuit. The data signal driving circuit is connected to multiple data signal lines (D1 to Dn), the scan signal driving circuit is connected to multiple scan signal lines (G1 to Gm), and the light emission signal driving circuit is connected to multiple light emission signal lines (E1 to Eo). The pixel array may include multiple sub-pixels Pxij, where i and j can be natural numbers. At least one sub-pixel Pxij may include a circuit unit and a light emission device connected to the circuit unit. The circuit unit may include a pixel driving circuit, which may be connected to the scan signal lines, the light emission signal lines, and the data signal lines (which may be referred to as data lines). In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller can provide grayscale values ​​and control signals of specifications suitable for the data signal driving circuit to the data signal driving circuit, clock signals, scan start signals, etc. of specifications suitable for the scan signal driving circuit to the scan signal driving circuit, and clock signals, transmit stop signals, etc. of specifications suitable for the light emission signal driving circuit to the light emission signal driving circuit. The data signal driving circuit can use the 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 signal driving circuit can sample the grayscale values ​​using a clock signal and apply the data voltage corresponding to the grayscale value to data signal lines D1 to Dn on a pixel-by-pixel basis, where n can be a natural number. The scan signal driving circuit can generate scan signals to be provided to scan signal lines G1, G2, G3, ..., Gm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, etc., from the timing controller. For example, the scan signal driving circuit can sequentially provide scan signals with conduction level pulses to scan signal lines G1 to Gm. For example, a scan signal driving circuit can be configured as a shift register and can generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting scan start signals, provided 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. A light-emitting signal driving circuit 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 a timing controller. For example, a light-emitting signal driving circuit can sequentially provide transmit signals with cutoff level pulses to light-emitting signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, a light-emitting driver can be configured as a shift register and can generate transmit signals by sequentially transmitting transmit stop signals, provided 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.

The first capacitor plate of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the gate of the third transistor T3, and the second capacitor plate of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the first power supply line VDD.

[0137] In this example, the first node N1 is the connection point of the storage capacitor Cst, the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, and the second transistor T2; the second node N2 is the connection point of the fifth transistor T5, the fourth transistor T4, and the third transistor T3; the third node N3 is the connection point of the third transistor T3, the second transistor T2, and the sixth transistor T6; and the fourth node N4 is the connection point of the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, and the light-emitting element EL.

[0138] In some examples, the first transistor T1 through the seventh transistor T7 can be either P-type or N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistor in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel, and improve the product yield. In some possible implementations, the first transistor T1 through the seventh transistor T7 may include both P-type and N-type transistors.

[0139] In some examples, the first power line VDD can be configured to provide a constant first voltage signal to the pixel circuit, and the second power line VSS can be configured to provide a constant second voltage signal to the pixel circuit, wherein the first voltage signal can be greater than the second voltage signal.

[0140] In some examples, the first initial signal line Vinit1 can be configured to provide a first initial signal to the pixel circuit, and the second initial signal line Vinit2 can be configured to provide a second initial signal to the pixel circuit. For example, the first initial signal may be different from the second initial signal. The first and second initial signals can be constant voltage signals, the magnitude of which may be, for example, between the first and second voltage signals, but is not limited thereto. In other examples, the first and second initial signals may be the same.

[0141] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit can also be as shown in Figures 6b and 6c; the difference between Figure 6b and Figure 6a is that an eighth transistor T8 is added, the gate of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the second node N2, the first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the third initial signal line Vinit3, and the gate of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the third reset control line RST3.

[0142] In an exemplary embodiment, using different frequencies under different screens can improve power consumption to some extent. In high-precision frequency conversion technology, there are situations where multiple resets are required under one frame. The load (resistance) of the initial signal supply line Vinit0 at multiple reset positions is different, resulting in one or more horizontal lines appearing on the screen. Therefore, it is very important to reduce the load of the initial signal supply line Vinit0.

However, this embodiment is not limited to these. In other examples, the fifth insulating layer may be omitted between the third and fourth conductive layers, and only the sixth insulating layer may be provided between the third and fourth conductive layers. In an exemplary embodiment, the active layer may be located on the semiconductor layer, the gate and the first electrode of the capacitor may be located on the first conductive layer, the second electrode of the capacitor may be located on the second conductive layer, the source and drain may be located on the third conductive layer, and the transition electrode may be located on the fourth conductive layer.

[0178] In some examples, as shown in FIG8e, the semiconductor layer of the display area may include: the active layer 210 of transistor 21 in the pixel driving circuit. The active layer 210 of transistor 21 may include: a first region 2101, a second region 2102, and a channel region 2100 located between the first region 2101 and the second region 2102. The first conductive layer may include: a first gate 213 of transistor 21 and a first electrode 221 of capacitor 22. The orthographic projection of the first gate 213 of transistor 21 onto the substrate 100 may cover the orthographic projection of the channel region 2100 of active layer 210 onto the substrate 100. The second conductive layer may include: a second electrode 222 of capacitor 22. The orthographic projections of the second electrode 222 and the first electrode 221 of capacitor 22 onto the substrate 100 may at least partially overlap, for example, they may coincide.

[0179] In some examples, as shown in Figure 8e, the third conductive layer of the display area may include a source 211 and a drain 212 of transistor 21. The source 211 of transistor 21 may be electrically connected to the first region 2101 of active layer 210, and the drain 212 may be electrically connected to the second region 2102 of first active layer 210. The fourth conductive layer may include at least a transition electrode 241. The transition electrode 241 may be electrically connected to the drain 212 of transistor 21 of pixel driving circuit through vias formed in fifth insulating layer 105 and sixth insulating layer 106. In this example, the transition electrode 241 enables the electrical connection between pixel driving circuit and light-emitting element.

[0180] In some examples, as shown in Figure 8e, the light-emitting structure layer 130 may include a pixel definition layer 134 and multiple light-emitting elements. For example, each light-emitting element may include a stacked first electrode 131 (which may be referred to as an anode), an organic light-emitting layer 132, and a second electrode 133 (which may be referred to as a cathode). The first electrode 131 of the light-emitting element can be an anode, and the first electrode 131 can be disposed on a seventh insulating layer 107 and electrically connected to a transition electrode 241 through a via formed in the seventh insulating layer 107. The pixel definition layer 134 is disposed on the first electrode 131 and the seventh insulating layer 107, and the pixel definition layer 134 may have multiple pixel openings, one pixel opening exposing at least a portion of the surface of a corresponding first electrode 131. At least a portion of the organic light-emitting layer 132 can be disposed within a pixel opening and connected to the corresponding first electrode 131. The second electrode 133 can be disposed on the organic light-emitting layer 132 and connected to the organic light-emitting layer 132. The organic light-emitting layer 132 can emit light of a corresponding color under the drive of the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 133.

[0181] In some examples, the organic light-emitting layer 132 of the light-emitting element may include at least one emitting layer (EML) and at least one of the following film layers: a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), a hole block layer (HBL), an electron block layer (EBL), an electron injection layer (EIL), and an electron transport layer (ETL). Under the voltage drive of the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 133, the light-emitting properties of the organic material can be utilized to emit light at the required grayscale.

[0182] In some examples, the light-emitting layers of different colored light-emitting elements 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, as can the electron injection layer and electron transport layer on the other side. In some examples, 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. In some examples, the organic light-emitting layer can be formed by vapor deposition using a fine metal mask (FMM) or an open mask, or by inkjet printing.

[0183] In some examples, as shown in Figure 8e, the encapsulation structure layer 140 may include a first encapsulation layer 141, a second encapsulation layer 142, and a third encapsulation layer 143 stacked together. The first and third encapsulation layers 141 and 143 may be made of inorganic materials, such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, or silicon oxynitride. Inorganic materials have high density, which can prevent the intrusion of water, oxygen, etc. The second encapsulation layer 142 may be disposed between the first and third encapsulation layers 141 and 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 and third encapsulation layers 141 and 143. It may also include a desiccant or other water-absorbing material to absorb water, oxygen, and other substances that have penetrated the interior. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the encapsulation structure layer may adopt a five-layer stacked structure of inorganic / organic / inorganic / organic / inorganic.
