[0066] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0067] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as “comprising” or “including” mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as “connected” or “linked” are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as “upper,” “lower,” “left,” and “right” are used only to indicate relative positional relationships, and these relative positional relationships may change accordingly when the absolute position of the described objects changes.

[0068] Unless otherwise defined, the features such as "parallel," "perpendicular," and "identical" used in the embodiments of this invention include strictly defined cases of "parallel," "perpendicular," and "identical," as well as cases involving a certain degree of error, such as "approximately parallel," "approximately perpendicular," and "approximately identical." For example, the aforementioned "approximately" may indicate that the difference between the compared objects is within 10% or 5% of the average value of the compared objects. Unless otherwise specified in the following embodiments of this invention, the quantity of a component or element is implied to mean that the component or element may be one or more, or can be understood as at least one. "At least one" refers to one or more, and "more" refers to at least two. In the embodiments of this invention, "same-layer arrangement" refers to the relationship between multiple film layers formed from the same material after undergoing the same step (e.g., a patterning process). Here, "same-layer" does not always mean that the multiple film layers have the same thickness or that the multiple film layers have the same height in a cross-sectional view.

[0069] It should be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being on another layer or substrate, it can mean that the layer or element is directly on the other layer or substrate, or that there is an intermediate layer between the layer or element and the other layer or substrate.

[0070] In the accompanying drawings of embodiments of this disclosure, the thickness of the layers and the area of ​​the regions are enlarged to more clearly illustrate the layer structures in the display substrate and display device. Therefore, it is conceivable that variations in shape relative to the drawings due to, for example, fabrication techniques and / or tolerances, do not affect the essential characteristics of the display substrate and display device. Thus, exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the shapes of the regions shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, but rather include shape deviations caused, for example, by manufacturing processes. For example, etched areas shown as rectangular would typically have curved features. Therefore, the regions shown in the drawings of embodiments of this disclosure are essentially schematic, and their shapes are not intended to show the actual shapes of regions of the device or apparatus, nor are they intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.

[0071] For example, in pixel driving circuits, Low Temperature Polycrystalline + Oxide (LTPO) technology can be applied to light-emitting diode (LED) displays. LTPO technology can reduce the power consumption of the display panel. The power consumption of a display panel includes driving power and emission power. LTPO-based display panels have lower driving power than LTPS-based display panels. While LTPS-based display panels require 60 Hz to display still images, LTPO-based display panels can reduce this to 1 Hz, significantly lowering the driving power.

[0072] For example, based on LTPO technology, some transistors in the display panel are oxide transistors (e.g., N-type oxide transistors). Oxide transistors have less leakage current, allowing the capacitor voltage (charge) to be maintained for one second, achieving a refresh rate of 1Hz. LTPS transistors have much greater leakage current, requiring 60Hz even to drive stationary pixels; otherwise, brightness would be significantly reduced. Therefore, LTPO technology has been widely used in display substrates.

[0073] For example, in FIP (Fanout In Panel) display panels based on LTPO technology, as the resolution of the display panel increases, when the structure of a double-layer conductive metal stack is applied to the fan-out area of ​​the display substrate, large areas of patterned traces appear on the connection lines between the horizontal and vertical traces in the fan-out area, leading to an increased risk of Mura in the fan-out area. Adopting a dummy design for the initialization signal structure can reduce the risk of Mura in the fan-out area, thereby improving the competitiveness of the display substrate.

[0074] The inventors of this disclosure have noted that the design of the connectors and initialization signal structures of the first conductive metal layers in the first and second display areas can be adjusted to make the structures of the first conductive metal layers in the first and second display areas more similar, thereby reducing the risk of Mura in the fan-out area.

[0075] For example, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a display substrate, the display substrate comprising: a substrate divided into a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, the display area including a first display area and a second display area; in the display area, a first conductive metal layer is disposed on the substrate, the first conductive metal layer including a first data fan-out line, a fan-out line connection structure, a connector, and a plurality of initialization signal structures, the first data fan-out line extending along a first direction, the fan-out line connection structure extending along a second direction, the first direction and the second direction intersecting; the connector is disposed between the first data fan-out line and the fan-out line connection structure, in In the first display area, the first data fan-out line and the fan-out line connection structure are spaced apart from each other, and the connector is electrically connected to an initialization signal structure; in the second display area, the first data fan-out line and the fan-out line connection structure are interconnected with each other, and the connector is spaced apart from each other from multiple initialization signal structures. The embodiments of this disclosure adjust the design of the connector and the initialization signal structure of the first conductive metal layer in the first display area and the second display area to make the structures of the first conductive metal layer in the first display area and the second display area closer, thereby reducing the Mura risk in the fan-out area.

[0076] For example, in embodiments of this disclosure, a transistor refers to a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode and the source electrode, and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. It should be noted that, in embodiments of this disclosure, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0077] For example, in embodiments of this disclosure, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or the first electrode can be the source electrode and the second electrode can be the drain electrode. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can sometimes be interchanged.

[0078] For example, in embodiments of this disclosure, "electrical connection" includes the case where constituent elements are connected together by a component having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "component having some electrical function," as long as it enables the reception 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 components with various functions.

[0079] For example, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a planar structure of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the display area of ​​the display substrate may include multiple pixel units P arranged in a matrix. Each pixel unit P includes a first sub-pixel P1, a second sub-pixel P2, a third sub-pixel P3, and a fourth sub-pixel P4. Each sub-pixel includes a circuit unit and a light-emitting unit. The circuit unit includes at least a pixel driving circuit, which is connected to a scan signal line, a data signal line, and a light-emitting control signal line, respectively. The pixel driving circuit is configured to receive the data voltage transmitted by the data signal line and output a corresponding current to the light-emitting unit under the control of the scan signal line and the light-emitting control signal line. The light-emitting unit includes a light-emitting device, which is connected to the pixel driving circuit of the sub-pixel. The light-emitting device is configured to emit light of a corresponding brightness in response to the current output by the pixel driving circuit of the sub-pixel.

[0080] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the first sub-pixel P1 may be a red sub-pixel (R) emitting red light, the second sub-pixel P2 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 may be green sub-pixels (G) emitting green light, and the third sub-pixel P3 may be a blue sub-pixel (B) emitting blue light. In exemplary embodiments, the shape of the sub-pixels may be rectangular, rhomboid, pentagonal, hexagonal, or diamond-shaped, and the first sub-pixel P1, the second sub-pixel P2, the third sub-pixel P3, and the fourth sub-pixel P4 may be arranged in a horizontal, vertical, or square manner, etc., and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this arrangement.

[0081] For example, in another embodiment of this disclosure, each pixel unit may include three sub-pixels, which may be arranged in a horizontal, vertical, or triangular manner, etc. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this arrangement.

[0082] For example, FIG2 is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2, the display substrate 100 includes a substrate 101, which is divided into a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area. The display area includes a first display area and a second display area. For example, the cross-sectional structural diagram shown in FIG2 illustrates the structure of four sub-pixels in the display area. These four sub-pixels can be located in the first display area or the second display area. As shown in FIG2, on a plane perpendicular to the display substrate, the display substrate 100 may include a driving circuit layer 102 disposed on the substrate 101, a light-emitting structure layer 103 disposed on the side of the driving circuit layer 102 away from the substrate 101, and an encapsulation structure layer 104 disposed on the side of the light-emitting structure layer 103 away from the substrate 101. For example, in other embodiments, the display substrate may also include other film layers, such as a touch structure layer, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0083] For example, in an embodiment of this disclosure, the peripheral area includes a lead area and a bonding area. The lead area includes multiple leads, and the bonding area is used to bond with an external driving circuit or driving chip. In this case, the multiple leads can be electrically connected to multiple signal lines and extend to the bonding area, thereby bonding the pixel structure with the external driving circuit or driving chip.

[0084] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the substrate 101 may be a flexible substrate or a rigid substrate. The driving circuit layer 102 may include multiple circuit units, each of which may include at least a pixel driving circuit composed of multiple transistors and storage capacitors.

[0089] For example, Figure 3 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, the pixel driving circuit is a 9T1C structure, which includes 9 transistors (first transistor T1 to ninth transistor T9) and 1 storage capacitor C.

[0097] For example, the second electrode of the first light-emitting control transistor T5 and the second electrode of the third initialization transistor T8 are connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3. The second node electrode N2 is connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3, the second electrode of the first light-emitting control transistor T5 and the second electrode of the third initialization transistor T8, respectively. The orthographic projection of the second node electrode N2 on the substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the first initialization signal line INIT1 on the substrate.

[0102] For example, the second terminal of the first initialization transistor T1 is connected to the first terminal of the compensation transistor T2 and the first terminal of the isolation transistor T9. The second terminal of the isolation transistor T9 is connected to the gate electrode of the driving transistor T3, and the second terminal of the compensation transistor T2 is connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T3. The channel region of the isolation transistor T9 is located between the channel region of the compensation transistor T2 and the channel region of the data writing transistor T4.

[0103] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the first electrode of the light-emitting device EL is connected to the fourth node N4, and the second electrode of the light-emitting device EL is connected to the second power line VSS. In one example, the light-emitting device EL is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) comprising a first electrode (anode), an organic light-emitting functional layer, and a second electrode (cathode) stacked together; or in another example, the light-emitting device EL is a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) comprising a first electrode, a quantum dot light-emitting layer, and a second electrode stacked together.

[0104] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the power supply voltage signal line VDD is a continuously supplied high-level signal, and the second power supply line VSS is a continuously supplied low-level signal.

[0105] For example, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the first transistor T1 to the ninth transistor T9 in the pixel driving circuit may be a P-type transistor or an N-type transistor. In other embodiments of this disclosure, the first transistor T1 to the ninth transistor T9 in the pixel driving circuit may include both P-type and N-type transistors.

[0106] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the first transistor T1 to the ninth transistor T9 in the pixel driving circuit can be a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) transistor, or a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MODS) transistor, or a combination of both. The active layer of the LTPS transistor is made of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS), while the active layer of the MODS transistor is made of metal-oxide semiconductor (Oxide). LTPS transistors have advantages such as high mobility and fast charging, while MODS transistors have advantages such as low leakage current. Integrating LTPS transistors and MODS transistors onto a single display substrate forms a display substrate using both LTPS and MODS (Low Temperature Polycrystalline + Oxide, LTPO) technology. This leverages the advantages of both technologies to achieve low-frequency driving, thereby reducing power consumption and improving the display quality of the display electrode.

[0107] For example, as shown in Figure 3, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit can be metal-oxide transistors (N-type transistors), and the third transistor T3 to the ninth transistor T9 can be low-temperature polysilicon transistors (P-type transistors).

[0108] For example, Figure 4 is a driving timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit shown in Figure 3. As shown in Figure 4, the operation of this pixel driving circuit may include:

[0109] The first stage, A1, can be referred to as the reset stage for the second node N2 and the fourth node N4. The signals on the first scan signal line S1, the third scan signal line S3, the fourth scan signal line S4, and the fifth scan signal line S5 are low-level signals, while the signals on the second scan signal line S2, the first light-emitting control signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 are high-level signals. This causes the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 to conduct, while the other transistors are turned off.

[0110] The seventh transistor T7 is turned on, providing the signal of the second initialization signal line INIT2 to the fourth node N4, initializing (resetting) the first terminal of the light-emitting device EL, clearing the original charge in the first terminal of the light-emitting device EL, and setting the potential of the fourth node N4 to Vinit2. The eighth transistor T8 is turned on, providing the signal of the third initialization signal line INIT3 to the second node N2, initializing (resetting) the second node N2, so that the potential of the second node N2 is Vinit3.

[0111] The second stage, A2, can be called the first node N1 reset stage. The signal on the first scan signal line S1 is a low-level signal. The signal on the second scan signal line S2 appears low-level twice and high-level for the rest of the time. The signals on the third scan signal line S3, the fourth scan signal line S4, the fifth scan signal line S5, the first light-emitting control signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 are high-level signals, so that the first transistor T1 is turned on, the fourth transistor T4 and the ninth transistor T9 are turned on twice, and the other transistors are turned off.

[0112] The first transistor T1 is turned on, providing the signal of the first initialization signal line INIT1 to the fifth node N5. When the fourth transistor T4 and the ninth transistor T9 are turned on, the signal of the first initialization signal line INIT1 is provided to the first node N1 to initialize (reset) the first node N1, clearing the original charge in the first node N1. The potential of the first node N1 is Vinit1. Since the ninth transistor T9 is a low-temperature polysilicon transistor, before the ninth transistor T9 is turned on for the first time, it is affected by the potential of the first node N1 and the gate bias voltage. The potential of the first node N1 is related to the data voltage of the previous stage, so the characteristics of the ninth transistor T9 are affected by the previous stage. After the ninth transistor T9 is turned on for the first time, the potential of the first node N1 is reset to Vinit1. The gate voltage of the ninth transistor T9 is relatively fixed whether it is high or low. Therefore, after the first turn-on and turn-off, the influence of the previous stage data on the characteristics of the ninth transistor T9 can be cleared. When the ninth transistor T9 is turned on for the second time, the potential of the first node N1 is reset to Vinit1 again. The embodiments of this disclosure, by resetting the first node N1 twice consecutively, can better eliminate the influence of the data voltage in the previous stage on the characteristics of the ninth transistor T9, thereby improving image retention and low grayscale image quality. Furthermore, due to the two turns on of the fourth transistor T4 in this stage, the data signal line DATA writes the data voltage of the first few cell rows to the second node N2. This changes the potential of the second node N2, thus changing the gate-source voltage of the third transistor T3. The characteristics of the third transistor T3 are reset, which can further improve image retention.

[0113] The third stage, A3, can be called the third node N3 reset stage. The signals of the first scan signal line S1, the second scan signal line S2, the third scan signal line S3, the fourth scan signal line S4, the fifth scan signal line S5, the first light emission control signal line EM1, and the second light emission control signal line EM2 are high-level signals, so that the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and the other transistors are turned off.

[0114] The second transistor T2 turns on, causing the third node N3 and the fifth node N5 to turn on. The first transistor T1 turns on, causing the signal of the first initialization signal line INIT1 to be provided to the third node N3, initializing (resetting) the third node N3, clearing the original charge in the third node N3, and making the potential of the third node N3 Vinit1.

[0115] The fourth stage, A4, can be called the data writing stage. The signal on the third scan signal line S3 is a low-level signal, the signal on the second scan signal line S2 is a low-level signal for a short period of time, and the signals on the first scan signal line S1, the fourth scan signal line S4, the fifth scan signal line S5, the first light emission control signal line EM1, and the second light emission control signal line EM2 are high-level signals, which turns on the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the ninth transistor T9, while turning off the other transistors.

[0116] The conduction of the second transistor T2 turns on the third node N3 and the fifth node N5, and the conduction of the ninth transistor T9 turns on the first node N1 and the fifth node N5. Since the third transistor T3 remains on during this stage, the fourth transistor T4 turns on, allowing the data signal output from the data signal line DATA to be supplied to the first node N1 via the second node N2, the conducting third transistor T3, the third node N3, the conducting second transistor T2, the fifth node N5, and the conducting ninth transistor T9. The difference between the data voltage output from the data signal line DATA and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the storage capacitor C. The voltage at the first node N1 is Vd1 - |Vth|, where Vd is the data voltage output from the data signal line DATA, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. When the ninth transistor T9 is off, the storage capacitor C maintains the data voltage.

[0117] The fifth stage, A5, can be referred to as the reset stage for the second node N2, the third node N3, and the fourth node N4. The signals on the first scan signal line S1 and the third scan signal line S3 are low-level signals. The signals on the fourth scan signal line S4 and the fifth scan signal line S5 are successively low-level signals for a short period. The signals on the second scan signal line S2, the first light-emitting control signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 are high-level signals, turning on the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8, while turning off the other transistors.

[0118] The seventh transistor T7 turns on, providing the signal of the second initialization signal line INIT2 to the fourth node N4. Since the third transistor T3 remains on during this stage, the eighth transistor T8 turns on, providing the signal of the third initialization signal line INIT3 to the second node N2 and the third node N3, resetting the second node N2, the third node N3, and the fourth node N4 respectively. The potentials of the second node N2 and the third node N3 are Vinit3, and the potential of the fourth node N4 is Vinit2. This stage of resetting the second node N2, the third node N3, and the fourth node N4 can improve and reduce hysteresis deviation caused by grayscale differences between adjacent pixels. It can also periodically reset the OLED anode to improve low-frequency flicker.

[0119] The sixth stage, A6, can be referred to as the reset stage of the second node N2 and the third node N3. The signals of the first scan signal line S1, the third scan signal line S3, and the first light emission control signal line EM1 are low-level signals, while the signals of the second scan signal line S2, the fourth scan signal line S4, the fifth scan signal line S5, and the second light emission control signal line EM2 are high-level signals, turning on the fifth transistor T5 and turning off the other transistors.

[0120] When the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, the power supply voltage Vdd output from the power supply voltage signal line VDD is provided to the second node N2 and the third node N3, resetting the second node N2 and the third node N3, that is, resetting the first and second terminals of the third transistor T3.

[0121] The seventh stage, A7, can be called the light-emitting stage. The signals of the first scan signal line S1, the third scan signal line S3, the first light-emitting control signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 are low-level signals, while the signals of the second scan signal line S2, the fourth scan signal line S4, and the fifth scan signal line S5 are high-level signals, which turns on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6, while turning off the other transistors.

[0122] When the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, the power supply voltage output from the power supply voltage signal line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the light-emitting device EL through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, third transistor T3 and sixth transistor T6, driving the light-emitting device EL to emit light.

[0123] During the pixel driving circuit operation, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) of each pixel driving circuit is determined by the voltage difference between its gate electrode and its first electrode. Since the voltage of the first node N1 is Vd-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:

[0124] I = K * (Vgs - Vth) 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd)] 2

[0125] Where I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, which is the driving current driving the light-emitting device EL, K is a constant related to the process and design, and Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3.

[0126] As can be seen from the derivation of the above current formula, during the light-emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor T3 in each pixel driving circuit is no longer affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, thereby eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 on the driving current, ensuring uniform display brightness of the display product, and improving the display effect of the entire display product.

[0127] For example, Figure 5 is another driving timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit shown in Figure 3. The operation process of the pixel driving circuit shown in Figure 5 is basically the same as that of the pixel driving circuit shown in Figure 4, except that: in the first stage A1, the signals of the fourth scan signal line S4 and the fifth scan signal line S5 are high-level signals, the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are off, and the second node N2 and the fourth node N4 are not reset in this stage. In the fifth stage A5, before the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, the second scan signal line S2 is a low-level signal for a short period of time, the fourth transistor T4 and the ninth transistor T9 are turned on again, the fourth transistor T4 turns on so that the data voltage of the next unit row resets the second node N2 and the third node N3, the ninth transistor T9 turns on so that the first node N1 and the fifth node N5 are turned on, after the charge of the two nodes is neutralized, there is no longer a potential difference between the two nodes.

[0128] For example, the following explanation combines a planar structural diagram of each film layer and a structural diagram of multiple film layers stacked together. It uses a pixel driving circuit that includes a storage capacitor and multiple transistors. The storage capacitor includes a first electrode and a second electrode stacked together. Among the multiple transistors, the first transistor T1 serves as the first initialization transistor, the second transistor T2 as the compensation transistor, the third transistor T3 as the driving transistor, the fourth transistor T4 as the data writing transistor, the fifth transistor T5 as the first light-emitting control transistor, the sixth transistor T6 as the second light-emitting control transistor, the seventh transistor T7 as the second initialization transistor, the eighth transistor T8 as the third initialization transistor, and the ninth transistor T9 as the isolation transistor. Furthermore, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are metal-oxide transistors, and the third transistor T3 to the ninth transistor T9 are low-temperature polycrystalline silicon transistors.

[0129] For example, in the display substrate provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the display substrate further includes a plurality of circuit units constituting a plurality of unit rows and a plurality of unit columns. At least one circuit unit includes a pixel driving circuit and a control signal line, the control signal line being configured to provide a control signal to the pixel driving circuit. For example, FIG6 is an equivalent circuit diagram of another pixel driving circuit provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure. FIG6 shows the pixel driving circuit of the (n-1)th unit row and the pixel driving circuit of the nth unit row, which are arranged sequentially in the second direction Y. In FIG6, the direction intersecting the second direction Y is the first direction X. The structure of the pixel driving circuit of the (n-1)th unit row and the pixel driving circuit of the nth unit row can be referred to the pixel driving circuit structure diagram shown in FIG3 above.

[0130] For example, the pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor T3, a first control transistor T5 / T8, and a second control transistor T6 / T7. The first control transistor T5 / T8 and the second control transistor T6 / T7 are respectively connected to the driving transistor T3, and the first control transistor T5 / T8 and the second control transistor T6 / T7 connected to the same driving transistor T3 are respectively disposed on both sides of the driving transistor T3 in the column direction. The first control transistor T5 / T8 is electrically connected to the control signal line in the previous cell row, and the second control transistor T6 / T7 is electrically connected to the control signal line in the current cell row. The control signal lines include scan control signal lines. The first control transistor includes a third initialization transistor T8. The second control transistors T6 / T7 include a second initialization transistor T7. The first terminal of the second initialization transistor T7 is connected to the second initialization signal line INT2. The second terminal of the second initialization transistor T7 is connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T3 through the second light-emitting control transistor T6. The first terminal of the third initialization transistor T8 is connected to the third initialization signal line INT3. The second terminal of the third initialization transistor T8 is connected to the first terminal of the driving transistor T3. The gate electrode of the third initialization transistor T8 is connected to the scan signal line in the previous cell row. The gate electrode of the second initialization transistor T7 is connected to the scan signal line in the current cell row.

[0131] For example, the second initialization transistor T7 and the third initialization transistor T8, which are connected to the same driving transistor T3, are respectively disposed on both sides of the cell column direction of the driving transistor T3.

[0132] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the control signal line includes a light-emitting control signal line, the first control transistor includes a first light-emitting control transistor T5, the second control transistor includes a second light-emitting control transistor T6, the first electrode of the first light-emitting control transistor T5 is connected to the power supply voltage signal line, the second electrode of the first light-emitting control transistor T5 is connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3, and the first electrode of the second light-emitting control transistor T6 is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T3. For example, the gate electrode of the first light-emitting control transistor T5 is connected to the light-emitting control signal line in the previous cell row, and the gate electrode of the second light-emitting control transistor T6 is electrically connected to the light-emitting control signal line in the current cell row.

[0133] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the second initialization transistor T7 includes a second initialization active layer, and the third initialization transistor T8 includes a third initialization active layer; in at least one pixel driving circuit of at least one cell row, the third initialization active layer is disposed in the circuit cell of the previous cell row, and the second initialization active layer is disposed in the circuit cell of the current cell row.

[0134] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, in at least one pixel driving circuit of at least one cell row, a third initialization active layer is disposed on one side of the cell row direction of the second initialization active layer of the pixel driving circuit in the previous cell row.

[0135] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the first region of the second initialization active layer is connected to the second initialization signal line INIT2 in the current cell row, and the first region of the third initialization active layer is connected to the third initialization signal line INIT2 in the previous cell row.

[0136] For example, as shown in Figure 6, the gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 in the pixel driving circuit of the nth unit row is connected to the first light emission control signal line EM1 of the same unit row, and the gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second light emission control signal line EM2 of the same unit row. The second light emission control signal line EM2 of the (n-1)th unit row is interconnected with the first light emission control signal line EM1 of the nth unit row, that is, the second light emission control signal line EM2 of the (n-1)th unit row and the first light emission control signal line EM1 of the nth unit row are the same light emission control signal line, and the sixth transistor T6 of the (n-1)th unit row and the fifth transistor T5 of the nth unit row share the same light emission control signal line. The fourth scan signal line S4 of the (n-1)th unit row is connected to the fifth scan signal line S5 of the nth unit row. That is, the fourth scan signal line S4 of the (n-1)th unit row and the fifth scan signal line S5 of the nth unit row are the same scan signal line. The seventh transistor T7 of the (n-1)th unit row and the eighth transistor T8 of the nth unit row share the same scan signal line, and n is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0137] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, in at least one pixel driving circuit, a fifth transistor T5 and a sixth transistor T6 connected to the same third transistor T3 can be respectively disposed on both sides of the third transistor T3 in the cell column direction (second direction Y). For example, in a pixel driving circuit of the nth cell row, the fifth transistor T5 can be disposed on the side of the third transistor T3 opposite to the second direction Y, and the sixth transistor T6 can be disposed on the side of the third transistor T3 along the second direction Y.

[0138] For example, in another embodiment of this disclosure, the fourth scan signal line S4 and the fifth scan signal line S5 of each cell row may not use cascaded signals, but may use the same control signal. The fourth scan signal line S4 and the fifth scan signal line S5 of each cell row may be the same control signal. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this.

[0139] For example, in another embodiment of this disclosure, the first scan signal line S1 and the third scan signal line S3 of each cell row may be provided by different gate drive circuits, or cascaded signals may be used, and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this.

[0140] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the fifth transistor T5 includes a fifth active layer, and the sixth transistor T6 includes a sixth active layer. The fifth active layer can serve as the first light-emitting control active layer in an embodiment of this disclosure, and the sixth active layer can serve as the second light-emitting control active layer in an embodiment of this disclosure. In at least one pixel driving circuit of at least one unit row, the fifth active layer can be disposed in the circuit unit of the previous unit row, and the sixth active layer can be disposed in the circuit unit of the current unit row. For example, in a pixel driving circuit of the nth unit row, the fifth active layer can be disposed in the circuit unit of the (n-1)th unit row, and the sixth active layer can be disposed in the circuit unit of the nth unit row.

[0141] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, in at least one pixel driving circuit of at least one cell row, the fifth active layer may be disposed on one side of the first direction X (cell row direction) of the sixth active layer of the pixel driving circuit in the previous cell row. For example, in a pixel driving circuit of the nth cell row, the fifth active layer may be disposed on one side of the first direction X of the sixth active layer of the pixel driving circuit in the (n-1)th cell row.

[0142] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, in the pixel driving circuit, the gate electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the fifth scan signal line S5 in the same cell row. In the previous cell row, in at least one pixel driving circuit in at least one cell row, the gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the fourth scan signal line S4 in the same cell row. For example, the gate electrode of the eighth transistor T8 of the pixel driving circuit in the nth cell row is connected to the fifth scan signal line S5 in the nth cell row, and the gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 of the pixel driving circuit in the (n-1)th cell row is connected to the fourth scan signal line 24 in the nth cell row. The fourth scan signal line S4 and the fifth scan signal line S5 are connected.

[0143] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, in a pixel driving circuit, a seventh transistor T7 and an eighth transistor T8 connected to the same third transistor T3 can be respectively disposed on both sides of the third transistor T3 along the second direction Y. For example, in a pixel driving circuit of the nth unit row, the eighth transistor T8 can be disposed on the side opposite to the second direction Y of the third transistor T3, and the seventh transistor T7 can be disposed on the side of the third transistor T3 along the second direction Y.

[0144] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the seventh transistor T7 includes a seventh active layer, and the eighth transistor T8 includes an eighth active layer. The seventh transistor T7 can serve as the second initialization active layer in an embodiment of this disclosure, and the eighth active layer can serve as the third initialization active layer in an embodiment of this disclosure. In a pixel driving circuit, the eighth active layer can be disposed in the circuit unit of the previous unit row, and the seventh active layer can be disposed in the circuit unit of the current unit row. For example, in a pixel driving circuit of the nth unit row, the eighth active layer can be disposed in the circuit unit of the (n-1)th unit row, and the seventh active layer can be disposed in the circuit unit of the nth unit row.

[0145] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, in a pixel driving circuit, the eighth active layer may be disposed on one side of the seventh active layer of the pixel driving circuit in the previous cell row, in the first direction X (cell row direction). For example, in a pixel driving circuit of the nth cell row, the eighth active layer may be disposed on one side of the seventh active layer of the pixel driving circuit in the (n-1)th cell row, in the first direction X.

[0146] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, in a pixel driving circuit, the first region of the seventh active layer is connected to the second initialization signal line INIT2 in the same cell row, and the first region of the eighth active layer is connected to the third initialization signal line INIT3 in the same cell row. For example, in a pixel driving circuit of the nth cell row, the first region of the seventh active layer is connected to the second initialization signal line INIT2 in the nth cell row, and the first region of the eighth active layer is connected to the third initialization signal line INIT3 in the (n-1)th cell row.

[0147] For example, the following description uses four circuit units arranged in the same row as an example to briefly describe the layer structure of the display substrate in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0148] It should be noted that in some exemplary embodiments, the corresponding structure can be changed according to actual needs, and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this. The structure of the above display substrate is described using the pixel circuit of the above 9T1C as an example. In other exemplary embodiments, the pixel circuit can also be a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C or 8T1C structure, etc., and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this.

[0149] For example, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the display substrate adopts FIP (Fanout In Panel) technology, which can reduce the bezel, achieve more efficient space utilization and integration, and facilitate the realization of more compact, higher-performance and more feature-rich display devices.

[0150] For example, Figure 7 is a schematic planar structure of a light-shielding layer in a first display area of ​​a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 7, the light-shielding layer 201 may be a bottom light-shielding metal (BSM) layer.

[0151] For example, as shown in Figure 7, the pattern of the light-shielding layer includes at least a first light-shielding connecting line 2011, a second light-shielding connecting line 2012, and a light-shielding electrode 2013, with multiple light-shielding electrodes 2013 arranged in an array. For example, the planar shape of the light-shielding electrode 2013 is approximately rectangular, and the corners of the rectangle can be chamfered. The shape of the first light-shielding connecting line 2011 can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X. The first light-shielding connecting line 2011 can be respectively disposed on both sides of the light-shielding electrode 2013 along the first direction X and connected to the light-shielding electrode 2013 respectively. The shape of the second light-shielding connecting line 2012 can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the second direction Y. The second light-shielding connecting line 2012 can be disposed on both sides of the light-shielding electrode 2013 along the second direction Y and connected to the light-shielding electrode 2013 respectively, thereby forming a mesh structure in the pattern of the light-shielding layer.

[0152] For example, as shown in Figure 7, in a cell row, the first light-shielding connection lines 2011 in two adjacent circuit cells in the first direction X can be connected to form an interconnected integral structure.

[0153] For example, in other embodiments of this disclosure, the second light-shielding connection lines 2012 in two adjacent circuit units in the second direction Y can be connected in a unit column to form an interconnected integral structure, that is, the light-shielding layers in the unit row and unit column are connected as one unit, thereby ensuring that the light-shielding layers in the display substrate have the same potential, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of the display of the subsequently formed display panel, so as to avoid display defects of the display panel and ensure the display effect of the display panel.

[0154] For example, forming a pattern for the light-shielding layer includes: depositing a light-shielding layer thin film on a substrate, and patterning the light-shielding layer thin film using a patterning process to form a light-shielding layer pattern. The material of the light-shielding layer can be a light-shielding metal material.

[0155] It should be noted that the "patterning process" mentioned in the embodiments of this disclosure includes, for metallic materials, inorganic materials, or transparent conductive materials, processes such as depositing a film layer, coating a film layer with photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping; for organic materials, processes include coating an organic material, 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. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this. A "thin film" refers to a thin film of a certain material fabricated 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." In the embodiments of this disclosure, "A and B are arranged in the same layer" 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 main surface of the display substrate. In the 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, which will not be elaborated further below.

[0156] For example, FIG8 is a schematic planar structure of a first semiconductor layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG8, the first semiconductor layer 202 can form the third active layer 23 of the third transistor T3 to the ninth active layer 29 of the ninth transistor T9.

[0157] For example, as shown in Figure 8, the third active layer 23, the fourth active layer 24, the sixth active layer 26 and the seventh active layer 27 are interconnected as a single structure, while the fifth active layer 25, the eighth active layer 28 and the ninth active layer 29 are set separately.

[0158] For example, the third active layer 23 is the channel region of the third transistor T3 (driving transistor), the fourth active layer 24 is the channel region of the fourth transistor T4 (data writing transistor), the fifth active layer 25 is the channel region of the fifth transistor T5 (first light-emitting control transistor), the sixth active layer 26 is the channel region of the sixth transistor T6 (second light-emitting control transistor), the seventh active layer 27 is the channel region of the seventh transistor T7 (second initialization transistor), the eighth active layer 28 is the channel region of the eighth transistor T8 (third initialization transistor), and the ninth active layer 29 is the channel region of the ninth transistor T9 (isolation transistor).

[0159] For example, Figure 9 is a schematic planar structure of a stacked light-shielding layer and a first semiconductor layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 9, the orthographic projection of the third active layer 23 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the light-shielding electrode 2013 on the substrate. The light-shielding electrode 2013 serves as the light-shielding layer of the third transistor T3, blocking the channel region of the third transistor T3 to ensure the electrical performance of the third transistor T3.

[0160] For example, in an embodiment of this disclosure, in the pixel driving circuit of this circuit unit, in the first direction X, the fourth active layer 24, the fifth active layer 25, and the eighth active layer 28 may be located on one side of the third active layer 23 in the first direction X, and the sixth active layer 26 may be located on the opposite side of the third active layer 23 in the first direction X. In the second direction Y, the sixth active layer 26 and the seventh active layer 27 may be located on one side of the third active layer 23 in the second direction Y. The ninth active layer 29 is located on the opposite side of the fourth active layer 24 in the first direction X.

[0161] For example, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the third active layer 23 can be shaped like an inverted "Ω", the fourth active layer 24, the fifth active layer 25, the sixth active layer 26 and the ninth active layer 29 can be strip-shaped with the main body extending along the second direction Y, the seventh active layer 27 can be shaped like an inverted "L", and the eighth active layer 28 can be shaped like an "L".

[0162] For example, as shown in Figure 8, the third active layer 23 to the ninth active layer 29 may each include a first region, a second region, and a channel region located between the first and second regions. For example, the first region 23a of the third active layer 23 is connected to the second region 24b of the fourth active layer 24, and the first region 23a of the third active layer 23 can serve as the second region 24b of the fourth active layer 24. The second region 23b of the third active layer 23 is connected to the first region 26a of the sixth active layer 26, and the second region 23b of the third active layer 23 can serve as the first region 26a of the sixth active layer 26. The second region 26b of the sixth active layer 26 is connected to the second region 27b of the seventh active layer 27, and the second region 26b of the sixth active layer 26 can serve as the second region 27b of the seventh active layer 27. The first region 24a of the fourth active layer 24, the first region 25a of the fifth active layer 25, the second region 25b of the fifth active layer 25, the first region 25a of the seventh active layer 27, the first region 28a of the eighth active layer 28, the second region 28b of the eighth active layer 28, the first region 29a of the ninth active layer 29, and the second region 29b of the ninth active layer 29 can be set individually.

[0163] For example, as shown in Figure 8, in a cell column, the fifth active layer 25 and the eighth active layer 28 of the pixel driving circuit in this circuit cell can be set in the circuit cell of the previous cell row, and the third active layer 23, the fourth active layer 24, the sixth active layer 26, the seventh active layer 27 and the ninth active layer 29 can be set in this circuit cell.

[0164] For example, as shown in Figure 8, the fifth active layer 25 of the pixel driving circuit in the current unit row is located on one side of the sixth active layer 26 of the pixel driving circuit in the previous unit row, in the first direction X. This allows the fifth active layer 25 and the sixth active layer 26 of the two unit rows to share a single light-emitting control signal line. This single light-emitting control signal line can simultaneously control the conduction and disconnection of the sixth transistor T6 in the current unit row and the fifth transistor T5 in the next unit row. For example, the fifth active layer 25 of the pixel driving circuit in the nth unit row is located in the circuit unit of the (n-1)th unit row, allowing the fifth active layer 25 of the pixel driving circuit in the nth unit row and the sixth active layer 26 of the pixel driving circuit in the (n-1)th unit row to share a single light-emitting control signal line. This single light-emitting control signal line can simultaneously control the conduction and disconnection of the fifth transistor T5 in the nth unit row and the sixth transistor T6 in the (n-1)th unit row.

[0165] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the eighth active layer 28 of the pixel driving circuit in the circuit unit of this unit row is located on one side of the seventh active layer 28 of the pixel driving circuit in the circuit unit of the previous unit row, such that the seventh active layer 27 and the eighth active layer 28 of the two unit rows can share a single scan signal line, which can simultaneously control the conduction and disconnection of the seventh transistor T7 of this unit row and the eighth transistor T8 of the next unit row. For example, the eighth active layer 28 of the pixel driving circuit in the nth unit row is disposed in the circuit unit of the (n-1)th unit row, such that the eighth active layer 28 of the pixel driving circuit in the nth unit row and the seventh active layer 27 of the pixel driving circuit in the (n-1)th unit row can share a single scan signal line, which can simultaneously control the conduction and disconnection of the seventh transistor T7 of the (n-1)th unit row and the eighth transistor T8 of the nth unit row.

[0166] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the first semiconductor layer 202 is formed of polycrystalline silicon (p-Si), i.e., the third transistor T3 to the ninth transistor T9 are LTPS transistors.

[0167] For example, forming the pattern of the first semiconductor layer includes: depositing a first semiconductor thin film, and then patterning the first semiconductor thin film using a patterning process. For example, the process of patterning the first semiconductor thin film using a patterning process includes: first forming an amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film, performing a dehydrogenation treatment on the amorphous silicon thin film, performing a crystallization treatment on the dehydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film to form a polycrystalline silicon thin film, and then patterning the polycrystalline silicon thin film to form the pattern of the first semiconductor layer.

[0168] For example, Figure 10 is a schematic planar structure of a first gate metal layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 11 is a schematic planar structure of a stacked light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, and a first gate metal layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 10, the first gate metal layer 203 corresponding to each circuit unit includes at least: a second scan signal line 2031, a fourth scan signal line 3032, a light emission control signal line 2033, a first initialization signal line 2034, and a first electrode 2035 of a storage capacitor.

[0169] For example, as shown in Figure 11, the first electrode 2035 is rectangular in shape, and the corners of the rectangle may be chamfered. The orthographic projection of the first electrode 2035 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the third active layer of the third transistor T3 on the substrate. For example, the first electrode 2035 can simultaneously serve as an electrode of a storage capacitor and the gate electrode of the third transistor T3.

[0170] For example, as shown in Figure 11, the orthographic projection of the first electrode plate 2035 on the substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the light-shielding electrode 2013 on the substrate.

[0171] For example, as shown in Figure 11, the shape of the second scan signal line 2031 is a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X of the main body. The second scan signal line 2031 is located on the side opposite to the second direction Y of the first electrode plate 2035. The area where the second scan signal line 2031 overlaps with the fourth active layer 24 can be used as the gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4. The area where the second scan signal line 2031 overlaps with the ninth active layer 29 can be used as the gate electrode of the ninth transistor T9.

[0172] For example, as shown in Figure 11, the fourth scan signal line 2032 is a straight line or a broken line whose main body extends along the first direction X. The fourth scan signal line 2032 is located on one side of the first electrode plate 2035 in the second direction Y. The area where the fourth scan signal line 2032 of this unit row overlaps with the seventh active layer 27 of the pixel driving circuit in this unit row serves as the gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 in this unit row. The area where the fourth scan signal line 2032 of this unit row overlaps with the eighth active layer 28 of the pixel driving circuit in the next unit row can serve as the gate electrode of the eighth transistor T8 in the next unit row. For example, for the fourth scan signal line 2032 of the (n-1)th unit row, the area where it overlaps with the seventh active layer 27 of the pixel driving circuit in the (n-1)th unit row serves as the gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 in the (n-1)th unit row, and the area where it overlaps with the eighth active layer 28 of the pixel driving circuit in the nth unit row can serve as the gate electrode of the eighth transistor T8 in the nth unit row.

[0173] For example, as shown in Figure 11, the shape of the light-emitting control signal line 2033 is a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X. The light-emitting control signal line 2033 is located between the first electrode plate 2035 and the fourth scan signal line 2032. The area where the light-emitting control signal line 2033 of this unit row overlaps with the sixth active layer 26 of the pixel driving circuit in this unit row can be used as the gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 of this unit row. The area where the light-emitting control signal line 2033 of this unit row overlaps with the fifth active layer 25 of the pixel driving circuit in the next unit row can be used as the gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 of the next unit row. For example, for the light-emitting control signal line 2033 of the (n-1)th unit row, the area where it overlaps with the sixth active layer 26 of the pixel driving circuit in the (n-1)th unit row can be used as the gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 of the (n-1)th unit row, and the area where it overlaps with the fifth active layer 25 of the pixel driving circuit in the nth unit row can be used as the gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 of the nth unit row.

[0174] For example, as shown in Figure 11, the shape of the first initialization signal line 2034 is a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X. The first initialization signal line 2034 is located on the side of the second scan signal line 2031 away from the first electrode plate 2035. The first initialization signal line 2031 is configured to be connected to the first region of the first active layer mentioned later.

[0175] For example, as shown in Figure 11, the second scan signal line 2031, the fourth scan signal line 2032, the light emission control signal line 2033, and the first initialization signal line 2034 have different widths in the second direction Y. The second scan signal line 2031, the fourth scan signal line 2032, the light emission control signal line 2033, and the first initialization signal line 2034 can be arranged to facilitate the layout of the pixel structure, and the parasitic capacitance between the signal lines can be reduced. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this.

[0176] For example, as shown in Figure 11, the second scan signal line 2031, the fourth scan signal line 2032, and the light emission control signal line 2033 include regions that overlap with the first semiconductor layer and regions that do not overlap with the first semiconductor layer. The width of the signal line in the region that overlaps with the first semiconductor layer can be greater than the width of the signal line in the region that does not overlap with the first semiconductor layer.

[0177] For example, as shown in Figure 11, after the pattern of the first gate metal layer is formed, the first gate metal layer can be used as a shielding layer to conduct the first semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer in the area shielded by the first gate metal layer forms the channel region of the third transistor T3 to the ninth transistor T9. The first semiconductor layer in the area not shielded by the first gate metal layer is conducted, that is, the first region and the second region of the first electrode 2035, the third active layer 23 to the ninth active layer 29 are all conducted.

[0178] For example, in an embodiment of this disclosure, the process of forming the first gate metal layer includes: depositing a second insulating layer thin film and a first conductive metal thin film sequentially on a substrate on which a light-shielding layer and a first semiconductor layer are formed; patterning the first conductive metal thin film by a patterning process to form a second insulating layer covering the pattern of the first semiconductor layer; and a pattern of the first gate metal layer disposed on the second insulating layer. For example, the first gate metal layer may be referred to as the GATE1 layer.

[0179] For example, in embodiments of this disclosure, the material of the first gate metal layer 203 is any one or more of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), and molybdenum (Mo), or an alloy of the above metals, such as aluminum-neodymium alloy (AlNd) or molybdenum-niobium alloy (MoNb). The first gate metal layer 203 can be a single-layer metal layer or a composite structure of multiple metal layers, such as Mo / Cu / Mo.

[0180] For example, Figure 12 is a schematic planar structure of a second gate metal layer in a first display region of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 13 is a schematic planar structure of a stacked light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, and a second gate metal layer in a first display region of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the second gate metal layer can be referred to as the GATE2 layer.

[0181] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the pattern of the second gate metal layer 204 of each circuit unit includes: a second electrode 2041 of a storage capacitor, a first light-shielding light 2042, and a second light-shielding light 2043.

[0182] For example, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the outline of the second electrode plate 2041 is rectangular, and the corners of the rectangle can be chamfered. The orthographic projection of the second electrode plate 2041 on the substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the first electrode plate 2035 on the substrate. The second electrode plate 2041 can serve as another electrode plate of the storage capacitor. The first electrode plate 2035 and the second electrode plate 2041 constitute the storage capacitor of the pixel driving circuit.

[0183] For example, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the second electrode plate 2041 has an opening 2041a. The opening 2041a can be rectangular in shape and can be located in the middle region of the second electrode plate 2041, making the second electrode plate 2041 form a ring structure. The opening 2041a exposes the third insulating layer covering the first electrode plate 2035, and the orthogonal projection of the first electrode plate 2035 on the substrate covers the orthogonal projection of the opening 2041a on the substrate.

[0184] For example, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the second electrode plate 2041 includes an electrode plate 2041b. The shape of the electrode plate 2041b can be a strip shape extending along the first direction X.

[0185] For example, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the shape of the first shielding light 2042 can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X of the main body. The first shielding light 2042 can be located between the first electrode plate 2035 and the second scan signal line 2031. The first shielding light 2042 is configured as a light shielding layer of the second transistor T2, blocking the channel region of the second transistor T2, ensuring the electrical performance of the second transistor T2 whose active layer is formed by metal oxide, and is also configured as the bottom gate electrode of the second transistor T2.

[0186] For example, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the shape of the second shielding light 2043 is a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X of the main body. The second shielding light 2043 is located between the second scan signal line 2031 and the first initialization signal line 2034. The second shielding light 2043 is configured as a light shielding layer of the first transistor T1, blocking the channel region of the first transistor T1, ensuring the electrical performance of the first transistor T1 whose active layer is formed by metal oxide, and is also configured as the bottom gate electrode of the first transistor T1.

[0187] For example, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the first light-blocking light 2042 and the second light-blocking light 2043 can be designed with non-uniform widths, which not only facilitates the layout of the pixel structure, but also reduces the parasitic capacitance between signal lines.

[0188] For example, the process of forming a pattern of the second gate metal layer includes: depositing a third insulating film and a second conductive metal film sequentially on a substrate on which a pattern of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer and a first gate metal layer is formed; patterning the second conductive metal film using a patterning process to form a third insulating layer covering the first gate metal layer, and a pattern of the second gate metal layer disposed on the third insulating layer.

[0189] For example, in embodiments of this disclosure, the material of the second gate metal layer 204 is any one or more of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), and molybdenum (Mo), or an alloy of the above metals, such as aluminum-neodymium alloy (AlNd) or molybdenum-niobium alloy (MoNb). The second gate metal layer 204 can be a single-layer metal layer or a composite structure of multiple metal layers, such as Mo / Cu / Mo.

[0190] For example, Figure 14 is a schematic planar structure of a second semiconductor layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 15 is a schematic planar structure of a stacked layer of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, and a second semiconductor layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, a first active layer of a first transistor T1 and a second active layer of a second transistor T2 are disposed on the second semiconductor layer.

[0191] For example, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the pattern of the second semiconductor layer 205 of each circuit unit includes at least: a first active layer 21 of the first transistor T1 and a second active layer 22 of the second transistor T2.

[0192] For example, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the first active layer 21 and the second active layer 22 are strip-shaped with the main part extending along the second direction Y. The orthographic projection of the first active layer 21 on the substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the second shading light 2043 on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the second active layer 22 on the substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the first shading light 2042 on the substrate.

[0193] For example, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the first region 21a of the first active layer 21 is located on the side of the second shielding light 2043 away from the second electrode 2041, and the second region 22b of the second active layer 22 is located on the side of the first shielding light 2042 close to the second electrode 2041. The second region 21b of the first active layer 21 is connected to the first region 22a of the second active layer 22, and the second region 21b of the first active layer 21 serves as the first region 22a of the second active layer 22.

[0194] For example, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the first active layer 21 and the second active layer 22 are an integral structure that is interconnected.

[0195] For example, as shown in Figure 15, the ninth active layer 29 is located between the second active layer 22 and the fourth active layer 24, that is, the channel region of the ninth transistor T9 is located between the channel region of the second transistor T2 and the channel region of the fourth transistor T4.

[0196] For example, as shown in FIG15, the second semiconductor layer 205 is formed using a metal oxide material, i.e., the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are metal oxide thin film transistors. For example, in an embodiment of this disclosure, the second semiconductor thin film can be formed using a metal oxide material such as indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), and the electron mobility of the metal oxide material is higher than that of amorphous silicon.

[0197] For example, the process of forming the pattern of the second semiconductor layer 205 includes: depositing an insulating layer thin film and a second semiconductor thin film sequentially on a substrate on which a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer and a second gate metal layer are formed; patterning the second semiconductor thin film by a patterning process to form an insulating layer covering the substrate and a pattern of the second semiconductor layer disposed on the insulating layer.

[0198] For example, Figure 16 is a schematic planar structure of a third gate metal layer in a first display region of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 17 is a schematic planar structure of a stack of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, and a third gate metal layer in a first display region of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the third gate metal layer can be referred to as the GATE3 layer.

[0199] For example, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the pattern of the third gate metal layer 206 of each circuit unit includes at least: a first scan signal line 2061, a third scan signal line 2062, a second initialization signal line 2063, and a third initialization signal line 2064.

[0200] For example, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the shape of the first scan signal line 2061 is a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X. The first scan signal line 2061 is located between the first electrode plate 2035 and the second scan signal line 2031. The area where the first scan signal line 2061 overlaps with the second active layer 22 can be used as the gate electrode of the second transistor T2.

[0201] For example, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the orthographic projection of the first scan signal line 2061 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the first shielding line 2042 on the substrate at least partially overlap. The first scan signal line 2061 and the first shielding line 2042 are connected to the same signal source, so that the first shielding line 2042 serves as the bottom gate electrode of the second transistor T2 and the first scan signal line 2061 serves as the top gate electrode of the second transistor T2, thereby forming a dual-gate structure of the second transistor T2.

[0202] For example, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the shape of the third scan signal line 2062 is a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X. The third scan signal line 2062 is located between the second scan signal line 2031 and the first initialization signal line 2034. The area where the third scan signal line 2062 overlaps with the first active layer serves as the gate electrode of the first transistor T1.

[0203] For example, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the orthographic projection of the third scan signal line 2062 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second shielding line 2043 on the substrate at least partially overlap. The third scan signal line 2062 and the second shielding line 2043 can be connected to the same signal source, so that the second shielding line 2043 serves as the bottom gate electrode of the first transistor T1 and the third scan signal line 2062 serves as the top gate electrode of the first transistor T1, thereby forming a dual-gate structure first transistor T1.

[0204] For example, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the shape of the second initialization signal line 2063 is a straight line or a broken line extending along the first direction X. The second initialization signal line 2063 is located on the side of the third scan signal line 2062 away from the second electrode plate 2041. The second initialization signal line 2063 of this cell row is configured to be connected to the first region 27a of the seventh active layer 27 of the pixel driving circuit in the circuit unit of this cell row.

[0205] For example, as shown in Figure 17, the orthographic projection of the third initialization signal line 2064 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the fourth scan signal line 2032 on the substrate overlap at least partially, so that the third initialization signal line 2064 with a constant potential can effectively shield the influence of the voltage jump of the fourth scan signal line 2032 on the pixel driving circuit.

[0206] For example, as shown in Figure 17, the second initialization signal line 2063 is a straight line or a broken line whose main body extends along the first direction X. The second initialization signal line 2063 is located between the second electrode plate 2041 and the third initialization signal line 2064. The third initialization signal line 2064 of this unit row is configured to connect to the first region of the eighth active layer 28 of the pixel driving circuit in the circuit unit of the next unit row. For example, the third initialization signal line 2064 of the (n-1)th unit row is configured to connect to the first region of the eighth active layer 28 of the pixel driving circuit in the circuit unit of the nth unit row.

[0207] For example, as shown in Figure 17, the orthographic projection of the third initialization signal line 2064 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the light emission control signal line 2031 on the substrate at least partially overlap, so that the third initialization signal line 2064 with a constant potential can effectively shield the influence of the voltage jump of the light emission control signal line 2031 on the pixel driving circuit.

[0208] For example, in an embodiment of this disclosure, the process of forming the pattern of the third gate metal layer 206 includes: depositing an insulating layer thin film and a third gate metal thin film sequentially on a substrate on which a pattern of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer and a second semiconductor layer is formed; and performing a patterning process on the third gate metal thin film to form an insulating layer covering the second semiconductor layer and a pattern of the third gate metal layer disposed on the insulating layer.

[0209] For example, in embodiments of this disclosure, the material of the third gate metal layer 206 is any one or more of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), and molybdenum (Mo), or an alloy of the above metals, such as aluminum-neodymium alloy (AlNd) or molybdenum-niobium alloy (MoNb). The third gate metal layer 206 can be a single-layer metal layer or a composite structure of multiple metal layers, such as Mo / Cu / Mo.

[0210] For example, Figure 18 is a schematic planar structure of an interlayer insulating layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 19 is a schematic planar structure of a stack of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, and an interlayer insulating layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0211] For example, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, a plurality of first-type via structures are provided in the interlayer insulating layer 207, and the first conductive metal layer and the first semiconductor layer 202 involved thereafter are electrically connected through the first-type via structures.

[0212] It should be noted that although the term "interlayer insulating layer" is used to represent multiple type-1 via structures, it actually represents a portion of a via structure that passes through multiple insulating layers disposed between adjacent layers in the light-shielding layer, the first semiconductor layer, the first gate metal layer, the second gate metal layer, the second semiconductor layer, the third gate metal layer, and the first conductive metal layer, as well as the insulating layer between the third gate metal layer and the first conductive metal layer. For example, the materials of the insulating layers between the adjacent layers and the interlayer insulating layer can be any one or more of silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), and silicon oxynitride (SiON), and the insulating layers and interlayer insulating layers can be single-layer, multi-layer, or composite layer structures.

[0213] For example, as shown in Figure 18, the multiple first-type via structures in each circuit unit include at least the following: first-type fourth via structure V74, first-type fifth via structure V75, first-type sixth via structure V76, first-type seventh via structure V77, first-type eighth via structure V78, first-type ninth via structure V79, first-type tenth via structure V710, first-type eleventh via structure V711, first-type twelfth via structure V712, first-type thirteenth via structure V713, first-type fourteenth via structure V714, first-type fifteenth via structure V715, first-type sixteenth via structure V716, and first-type seventeenth via structure V717.

[0214] For example, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the orthographic projection of the first type fourth via structure V74 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the first region of the third active layer (that is, the second region of the fourth active layer) on the substrate.

The first type fourth via structure V74 is configured to connect the subsequently formed first conductive metal layer to the first region of the third active layer (that is, the second region of the fourth active layer).

[0215] For example, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the orthographic projection of the first type fifth via structure V75 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the second region of the third active layer (which is also the first region of the sixth active layer) on the substrate.

The first type seventh via structure V77 is configured to connect the structure in the subsequently formed first conductive metal layer to the first region of the fifth active layer.

[0218] For example, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the pixel driving circuits of two adjacent circuit units in the first direction X can share a first type seventh via structure V77.

[0219] For example, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the orthographic projection of the first type eighth via structure V78 on the main surface of the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the second region of the fifth active layer on the main surface of the substrate. The first type eighth via structure V78 exposes the surface of the second region of the fifth active layer.

The first type ninth via structure V79 is configured to connect the subsequently formed first conductive metal layer to the second region of the sixth active layer (which is also the second region of the seventh active layer).

[0221] For example, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the orthographic projection of the first type tenth via structure V710 on the main surface of the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the first region of the seventh active layer on the main surface of the substrate.

The first type eleventh via structure V711 exposes the surface of the first region of the eighth active layer. The first type eleventh via structure V711 is configured to connect the structure in the subsequently formed first conductive metal layer to the first region of the eighth active layer.

[0223] For example, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the orthographic projection of the first type twelfth via structure V712 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the second region of the eighth active layer on the substrate. The first type twelfth via structure V712 exposes the surface of the second region of the eighth active layer. The first type twelfth via structure V712 is configured to connect the structure in the subsequently formed first conductive metal layer to the second region of the eighth active layer.

[0224] For example, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the orthographic projection of the first type thirteenth via structure V713 on the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the first region of the ninth active layer on the substrate.

[0228] For example, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the orthographic projection of the first type seventeenth via structure V717 on the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the first initialization signal line 2034 on the substrate. The first type seventeenth via structure V717 exposes the surface of the first initialization signal line 2034. The first type seventeenth via structure V717 is configured to connect the structure in the subsequently formed first conductive metal layer to the first initialization signal line 2034.

[0229] For example, Figure 20 is a schematic planar structure of an etch barrier layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 21 is a schematic planar structure of a stack of light-shielding layer, first semiconductor layer, first gate metal layer, second gate metal layer, second semiconductor layer, third gate metal layer, and interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0230] For example, as shown in Figures 20 and 21, the etch barrier layer 208 is provided with a plurality of second-type via structures, and the first conductive metal layer and the second semiconductor layer 205 involved thereafter are electrically connected through the second-type via structures.

[0231] It should be noted that although etch stop layers are used to represent multiple second-type via structures, the etch stop layer actually represents another portion of the via structure that passes through the insulating layer disposed between adjacent layers in the light-shielding layer, the first semiconductor layer, the first gate metal layer, the second gate metal layer, the second semiconductor layer, the third gate metal layer, and the first conductive metal layer, as well as the insulating layer between the third gate metal layer and the first conductive metal layer. For example, the materials of the insulating layer and the etch stop layer between the adjacent layers can be any one or more of silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), and silicon oxynitride (SiON), and the insulating layer and the etch stop layer can be a single-layer, multi-layer, or composite layer structure. For example, the interlayer insulating layer and the etch stop layer can be disposed in the same layer.

[0232] For example, as shown in Figures 20 and 21, the multiple second-type via structures in each circuit unit include: second-type first via structure V81, second-type second via structure V82, second-type third via structure V83, second-type eighteenth via structure V818, and second-type nineteenth via structure V819.

[0233] For example, as shown in Figures 20 and 21, the orthographic projection of the second type of first via structure V81 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the first region of the first active layer on the substrate.

[0234] For example, as shown in Figures 20 and 21, the orthographic projection of the second type of second via structure V82 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the second region of the first active layer (which is also the first region of the second active layer) on the substrate. The second type of second via structure V82 exposes the surface of the second region of the first active layer (which is also the first region of the second active layer). The second type of second via structure V82 is configured to connect the structure in the subsequently formed first conductive metal layer to the second region of the first active layer (which is also the first region of the second active layer).

[0235] For example, as shown in Figures 20 and 21, the orthographic projection of the second type third via structure V83 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the second region of the second active layer on the substrate. The second type third via structure V83 exposes the surface of the second region of the second active layer. The second type third via structure V83 is configured to connect the structure in the subsequently formed first conductive metal layer to the second region of the second active layer.

[0236] For example, as shown in Figures 20 and 21, the orthographic projection of the second type eighteenth via structure V818 on the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the second initialization signal line 2063 on the substrate. The second type eighteenth via structure V818 exposes the surface of the second initialization signal line 2063. The second type eighteenth via structure V818 is configured to connect the structure in the subsequently formed first conductive metal layer to the second initialization signal line 2063.

[0237] For example, as shown in Figures 20 and 21, the orthographic projection of the second type nineteenth via structure V819 on the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the third initialization signal line 2064 on the substrate. The second type nineteenth via structure V819 exposes the surface of the third initialization signal line 2064. The second type nineteenth via structure V819 is configured to connect the structure in the subsequently formed first conductive metal layer to the third initialization signal line 2064.

[0238] For example, Figure 22 is a schematic planar structure of a first conductive metal layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 23 is a schematic planar structure of a stack of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, an interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer, and a first conductive metal layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0239] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the first conductive metal layer 209 of each circuit unit can be referred to as the first source-drain metal (SD1) layer. The first conductive metal layer 209 of each circuit unit includes at least: a first connection electrode 91, a second connection electrode 92, a third connection electrode 93, a fourth connection electrode 94, a fifth connection electrode 95, a sixth connection electrode 96, a seventh connection electrode 97, an eighth connection electrode 98, a ninth connection electrode 99, a tenth connection electrode 910, an eleventh connection electrode 911, and a thirteenth connection electrode 913. The first source-drain metal layer also includes a first data fan-out line 51, a fan-out line connection structure 54, a connector 58, and multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. The ninth connection electrode 99 can be referred to as the third initialization signal structure 57, the seventh connection electrode 97 can be referred to as the first initialization signal structure 55, and the eleventh connection electrode 911 can be referred to as the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0240] For example, in embodiments of this disclosure, the material of the first conductive metal layer 209 is any one or more of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), and molybdenum (Mo), or an alloy of the above metals, such as aluminum-neodymium alloy (AlNd) or molybdenum-niobium alloy (MoNb). The first conductive metal layer 209 can be a single-layer metal layer or a composite structure of multiple metal layers, such as Mo / Cu / Mo.

[0241] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the first end of the first connecting electrode 91 is connected to the second region of the ninth active layer through a fourteenth via structure V714 of the first type. The second end of the first connecting electrode 91 extends along the second direction Y and is connected to the first electrode plate 2035 through a fifteenth via structure V715 of the first type. For example, since the first electrode plate 2035 also serves as the gate electrode of the third transistor T3, the first connecting electrode 91 makes the gate electrode of the third transistor T3, the second electrode of the ninth transistor T9, and the first electrode plate 2035 have the same potential to form the first node N1 in the pixel driving circuit.

[0242] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the second connecting electrode 92 can be a strip shape in which the main body extends along the second direction Y. The first end of the second connecting electrode 92 is connected to the second region of the second active layer through a second type third via structure V83. After the second end of the second connecting electrode 92 extends along the second direction Y, it is connected to the second region of the third active layer (which is also the first region of the sixth active layer) through a first type fifth via structure V75. For example, the second connecting electrode 92 makes the second electrode of the second transistor T2, the second electrode of the third transistor T3, and the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 have the same potential, forming the third node N3 of the pixel driving circuit.

[0243] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the third connecting electrode 93 is in the shape of a block and is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the first type of sixth via structure V76. The third connecting electrode 93 is configured to be connected to the data signal line formed subsequently.

[0244] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the first end of the fourth connecting electrode 94 is connected to the first region of the fifth active layer through the first type of seventh via structure V77.

[0245] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the fourth connection electrodes 94 of two adjacent circuit units in the first direction X are interconnected as an integral structure, and are connected to the first region of the fifth active layer of the two circuit units through a shared first type seventh via structure V77.

[0246] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, since the fifth active layer of the pixel driving circuit in this unit row is located in the circuit unit of the previous unit row, the first end of the fourth connecting electrode 94 in this unit row is connected to the first region of the fifth active layer of the pixel driving circuit in the next unit row, and the second end of the fourth connecting electrode 94 is connected to the second electrode plate 2041 of the pixel driving circuit in this unit row. For example, the first end of the fourth connecting electrode 94 in the (n-1)th unit row is connected to the first region of the fifth active layer of the pixel driving circuit in the nth unit row, and the second end is connected to the second electrode plate 2041 of the pixel driving circuit in the (n-1)th unit row.

[0247] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the fifth connecting electrode 95 is a strip shape in which the main body extends along the second direction Y. The first end of the fifth connecting electrode 95 is connected to the second region of the fifth active layer through a first type eighth via structure V78. After the second end of the fifth connecting electrode 95 extends along the second direction Y, it is connected to the second region of the eighth active layer through a first type eleventh via structure V711. For example, the fifth connecting electrode 95 makes the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 and the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8 have the same potential, forming the second node N2 of the pixel driving circuit. In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth connecting electrode 95 can serve as the second node electrode in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0248] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the thirteenth connecting electrode 913 and the seventh connecting electrode 97 are connected. The orthographic projection of the thirteenth connecting electrode 913 (the second node N2 of the pixel driving circuit) on the substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projections of the first initialization signal line 2034 and the second initialization signal line 2063 on the substrate, so that the first initialization signal line 2034 and the second initialization signal line 2063 with constant potential can effectively stabilize the potential of the second node N2.

[0249] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the sixth connecting electrode 96 is block-shaped and is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer (which is also the second region of the seventh active layer) through a first-type ninth via structure V79. For example, the sixth connecting electrode 96 is configured to connect to the subsequently formed anode connecting electrode to form the fourth node N4 of the pixel driving circuit.

[0250] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the seventh connecting electrode 97 is a strip shape in which the main body extends along the first direction X. The first end of the seventh connecting electrode 97 is connected to the first region of the first active layer through a second type of first via structure V81, and the second end of the seventh connecting electrode 97 is connected to the first initialization signal line 2034 through a first type of seventeenth via structure V717. For example, the seventh connecting electrode 97 realizes the connection between the first initialization signal line 2034 and the first electrode of the first transistor T1, and the first initialization signal line 2034 can write the transmitted first initial signal into the first electrode of the first transistor T1.

[0251] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the eighth connecting electrode 98 is a strip shape in which the main body extends along the second direction Y. The first end of the eighth connecting electrode 98 is connected to the first region of the seventh active layer through a first type tenth via structure V710, and the second end of the eighth connecting electrode 98 is connected to the second initialization signal line 2063 through a second type eighteenth via structure V818. For example, the eighth connecting electrode 98 realizes the connection between the second initialization signal line 2063 and the first terminal of the seventh transistor T7, and the second initialization signal line 2063 can write the transmitted second initial signal into the first terminal of the seventh transistor T7.

[0252] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the ninth connecting electrode 99 is a strip shape in which the main body extends along the second direction Y, and the ninth connecting electrode 99 is connected to the third initialization signal line 2064 through the second type nineteenth via structure V819.

[0253] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, since the eighth active layer of the pixel driving circuit in this unit row is located in the circuit unit of the previous unit row, the first end of the ninth connecting electrode 99 in this unit row is connected to the first region of the eighth active layer of the pixel driving circuit in the next unit row, and the second end of the ninth connecting electrode 99 is connected to the third initialization signal line 2064 in this unit row. For example, for the ninth connecting electrode 99 in the (n-1)th unit row, its first end is connected to the first region of the eighth active layer of the pixel driving circuit in the nth unit row, and its second end is connected to the third initialization signal line 2064 in the (n-1)th unit row.

[0254] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the tenth connecting electrode 910 is a strip-shaped part extending along the first direction X. The first end of the tenth connecting electrode 910 is connected to the second region of the first active layer (which is also the first region of the second active layer) through a second type of second via structure V82, and the second end of the tenth connecting electrode 910 is connected to the first region of the ninth active layer through a first type of thirteenth via structure V713. For example, the tenth connecting electrode 910 realizes the connection of the second electrode of the first transistor T1, the first electrode of the second transistor T2, and the first electrode of the ninth transistor T9, forming the fifth node N5 of the pixel driving circuit.

[0255] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, in the structure corresponding to the first display area, the first conductive metal layer 209 includes a first data fan-out line 51, a fan-out line connection structure 54, a connector 58, and a plurality of initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. The first data fan-out line 51 extends along a first direction X, and the fan-out line connection structure 54 extends along a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. For example, the first direction X is a horizontal direction, and the second direction Y is a vertical direction.

[0256] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, in the structure corresponding to the first display area, the connector 58 is disposed between the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54. In the first display area, the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54 are spaced apart from the connector 58, and the connector 58 is electrically connected to one of the multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. For example, in Figures 22 and 23, the connector 58 is connected to the first initialization signal structure 55. This first initialization signal structure 55 is also the seventh connection electrode 97 mentioned above, and the first initialization signal structure 55 extends in a direction opposite to the first direction X to connect with the connector 58.

[0257] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, in the first display area, the first data fan-out line 51 and the connector 58 are spaced apart to have a first break 52, and the fan-out line connection structure 54 and the connector 58 are spaced apart to have a second break 53, that is, the connector 58 does not connect the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0258] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, in the first display area, the initialization signal structure includes a first initialization signal structure 55 and a second initialization signal structure 56 located on the first side of the connector 58, and a third initialization signal structure 57 located on the second side opposite to the first side. The first initialization signal structure 55, the second initialization signal structure 56 and the third initialization signal structure 57 are independent of each other and are all independent of the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0259] It should be noted that the first side of the connector 58 refers to the first direction X, that is, the right side of the connector 58, and the second side of the connector 58 refers to the direction opposite to the first direction X, that is, the left side of the connector 58.

[0260] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, in the first display area, the end of the first initialization signal structure 55 furthest from the connector 58 is located on the side furthest from the connector 58 of the end of the second initialization signal structure 56.

[0261] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the first initialization signal structure 55 includes a first block portion and a strip portion connected to the first block portion, the strip portion being located on the side of the first block portion closer to the connector 58. The second and third initialization signal structures both include only the block portion. For example, in the first display area, the connector 58 is electrically connected to the strip portion of the first initialization signal structure 55, thereby connecting the connector 58 to the corresponding signal instead of a floating electrode.

[0262] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this disclosure, the main body extends in a strip shape along a certain direction, while the block shape can be a structure with approximately the same length extending in two directions.

[0263] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, in the first display area, the middle portion 58a of the connector 58 near the first initialization signal structure 55 is connected to the first initialization signal structure 55, and the orthographic projection of the middle portion 58a on the substrate 101 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer mentioned later on the substrate 101.

[0264] It should be noted that the middle part 58a of the connector 58 refers to the part of the connector 58 that is not at the two ends, that is, the area shown by the dashed circle in Figures 22 and 23. In Figures 22 and 23, the middle part 58a is closer to the bottom end of the connector 58.

[0265] For example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23, in the first display area, the planar shape of the connector 58 is bent, and the connector 58 bends and extends in the second direction Y to form a structure that protrudes toward one side of the first initialization signal structure 55.

[0266] It should be noted that the first initialization signal structure 55 is also the seventh connection electrode 97 mentioned above, and the third initialization signal structure 57 is also the ninth connection electrode 99 mentioned above.

[0267] For example, Figure 24 is a schematic planar structure of a passivation layer in a first display region of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 25 is a schematic planar structure of a first planarization layer in a first display region of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 26 is a schematic planar structure of a stack of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, an interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer, a first conductive metal layer, a passivation layer, and a first planarization layer in a first display region of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0268] For example, as shown in Figures 24 and 25, multiple third-type via structures are provided in the passivation layer 210 and the first planarization layer 211, and the second conductive metal layer and the first conductive metal layer involved thereafter are electrically connected through the third-type via structures.

[0269] For example, as shown in Figures 24-26, the multiple third-type via structures in each circuit unit include: the second-twentieth type via structure V922, the twenty-third type via structure V923, the twenty-fourth type via structure V924, the twenty-fifth type via structure V925, the twenty-sixth type via structure V926, and the twenty-eighth type via structure V928.

[0270] For example, as shown in Figures 24-26, the orthographic projection of the third type 22 via structure V922 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the fourth connection electrode 94 on the substrate. The passivation layer and the first planarization layer in the third type 22 via structure V922 are etched away, exposing the surface of the fourth connection electrode 94. The third type 22 via structure V922 is configured to connect the subsequently formed power supply voltage signal line 212a to the fourth connection electrode 94.

[0271] For example, as shown in Figures 24-26, the orthographic projection of the third type twenty-third via structure V923 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the third connection electrode 93 on the substrate. The passivation layer and the first planarization layer in the third type twenty-third via structure V923 are etched away, exposing the surface of the third connection electrode 93. The third type twenty-third via structure V923 is configured to connect the subsequently formed data signal line to the third connection electrode 93.

[0272] For example, as shown in Figures 24-26, the orthogonal projections of the third type twenty-fourth via structure V924 and the third type twenty-fifth via structure V925 on the substrate are located within the range of the orthogonal projection of the eleventh connecting electrode 911 on the substrate. The passivation layer and the first planarization layer in the third type twenty-fourth via structure V924 and the third type twenty-fifth via structure V925 are etched away, exposing the surface of the eleventh connecting electrode 911. The third type twenty-fourth via structure V924 and the third type twenty-fifth via structure V925 are configured to connect the subsequently formed second conductive metal layer to the eleventh connecting electrode 911.

[0273] For example, as shown in Figures 24-26, the orthographic projection of the third type twenty-sixth via structure V926 on the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the twelfth connecting electrode 912 on the substrate. The passivation layer and the first planarization layer in the third type twenty-sixth via structure V926 are etched away, exposing the surface of the twelfth connecting electrode 912. The third type twenty-sixth via structure V926 is configured to connect the subsequently formed second conductive metal layer to the twelfth connecting electrode 912.

[0274] For example, as shown in Figures 24-26, the orthographic projection of the third type twenty-eighth via structure V928 on the substrate is within the range of the orthographic projection of the sixth connection electrode 96 on the substrate. The passivation layer and the first planarization layer in the third type twenty-eighth via structure V928 are etched away, exposing the surface of the sixth connection electrode 96. The third type twenty-eighth via structure V928 is configured to connect the subsequently formed anode connection electrode to the sixth connection electrode 96.

[0275] For example, the process of forming the passivation layer and the first planarization layer pattern includes: coating a passivation layer film and a first planarization layer film on a substrate having a pattern of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, an interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer and a first conductive metal layer; patterning the passivation layer film and the first planarization layer film using a patterning process to form a passivation layer and a first planarization layer that cover the pattern of the first conductive metal layer; and providing a plurality of third-type via structures on the passivation layer and the first planarization layer.

[0276] For example, the first planarization layer can be formed using an organic material, such as a resin. The passivation layer can be formed using an inorganic insulating material, such as silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or silicon dioxide.

[0277] For example, Figure 27 is a schematic planar structure of a second conductive metal layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 28 is a schematic planar structure of a stack of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, an interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer, a first conductive metal layer, a passivation layer, a first planarization layer, and a second conductive metal layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0278] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the second conductive metal layer 212 of each circuit unit includes: an initialization signal connection line 212d, an anode connection electrode 212c, a power supply voltage signal line 212a, a data signal line 212b, and a second data fan-out line 212e arranged sequentially in the first direction X and extending in the second direction Y. The second conductive metal layer 212 can serve as a second source-drain metal (SD2) layer.

[0279] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the power supply voltage signal line 212a is a straight line or a broken line whose main body extends along the second direction Y. The power supply voltage signal line 212a is connected to the fourth connection electrode 94 through the third type of twenty-second via structure V922. The fourth connection electrode 94 is connected to the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 and the second electrode plate 2041 of the storage capacitor, respectively. Thus, the power supply voltage signal line 212a writes the first power signal into the fifth transistor T5 and the second electrode plate 2041 of the storage capacitor.

[0280] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the power supply voltage signal line 212a can be a non-uniform width polygonal line, which not only facilitates the layout of the pixel structure, but also reduces the parasitic capacitance between the first power supply line and the data signal line.

[0281] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the orthographic projection of the power supply voltage signal line 212a on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first active layer on the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the power supply voltage signal line 212a on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second active layer on the substrate. This allows the power supply voltage signal line 212a to block the light from the first and second active layers, thus preventing the light emitted by the light-emitting device and the reflected light from the film layer from illuminating the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 of the oxide transistor. This prevents the oxide transistor from experiencing characteristic drift due to light exposure and improves the electrical characteristics of the oxide transistor.

[0282] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the orthographic projection of the power supply voltage signal line 212a on the substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the first connecting electrode 91 on the substrate. The power supply voltage signal line 212a with a constant potential can effectively shield the influence of data voltage jumps and other signals on the first node N1 in the pixel driving circuit, avoid the influence of data voltage jumps and other signals on the potential of the first node N1, and improve the driving performance of the pixel driving circuit.

[0283] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the orthographic projection of the power supply voltage signal line 212a on the substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projections of the second connecting electrode 92 and the tenth connecting electrode 910 on the substrate. The power supply voltage signal line 212a with a constant potential can effectively shield the influence of data voltage jumps and other signals on each node in the pixel driving circuit, avoid the influence of data voltage jumps and other signals on the node potential, and improve the driving performance of the pixel driving circuit.

[0284] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the data signal line 212b can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the second direction Y in its main body. The data signal line 212b is connected to the third connection electrode 93 through a third type twenty-third via structure V923. Since the third connection electrode 93 is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the via, the connection between the data signal line 212b and the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is realized, and the data signal line 212b can write data signals to the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4.

[0285] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the orthographic projection of the data signal line 212b on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least a portion of the connector 58 on the substrate.

[0286] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the anode connecting electrode 212c is block-shaped and is connected to the sixth connecting electrode 96 via a third type twenty-eighth via structure V928. The anode connecting electrode 212c is configured to connect with the subsequently formed anode. Since the sixth connecting electrode 96 is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer and the second region of the seventh active layer, the subsequent anode can be connected to the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7, and the pixel driving circuit can drive the light-emitting device to emit light.

[0287] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, an alternating signal is connected to the initialization signal connection line 212d.

[0288] For example, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the orthographic projection of the fan-out line connection structure 54 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second data fan-out line 212e on the substrate overlap, and the data signal line 212b and the first data fan-out line 51 are electrically connected. The first data fan-out line 51 is electrically connected to the second data fan-out line 212e through the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0289] For example, the process of forming the second conductive metal layer includes: depositing a second conductive metal thin film on a substrate on which a pattern of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, an interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer, a first conductive metal layer, a passivation layer, and a first planarization layer is formed; and patterning the second conductive metal thin film using a patterning process to form a second conductive metal layer disposed on the first planarization layer.

[0290] For example, the material of the first conductive metal layer 212 is any one or more of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), and molybdenum (Mo), or an alloy of the above metals, such as aluminum-neodymium alloy (AlNd) or molybdenum-niobium alloy (MoNb). The second conductive metal layer 212 can be a single metal layer or a composite structure of multiple metal layers, such as Mo / Cu / Mo.

[0291] For example, as shown in FIG28, the second conductive metal layer 212 is disposed on the side of the first conductive metal layer 209 away from the substrate 101. The orthographic projections of the first break 52 and the second break 53 on the substrate 101 overlap with the orthographic projections of the second conductive metal layer 212 on the substrate 101. That is, the second conductive metal layer 212 blocks the first break 52 and the second break 53, which can reduce the structural differences between the first display area and the second display area, thereby making the display substrate display effect better.

[0292] For example, Figure 29 is a schematic planar structure of a second planarization layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 30 is a schematic planar structure of a stack of light-shielding layer, first semiconductor layer, first gate metal layer, second gate metal layer, second semiconductor layer, third gate metal layer, interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer, first conductive metal layer, passivation layer, first planarization layer, second conductive metal layer and second planarization layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0293] For example, as shown in Figures 29 and 30, a second planarization layer 213 is disposed on the entire substrate. The second planarization layer 213 has a plurality of fourth-type via structures 213a / 213b / 213c / 213d, which expose the anode connection electrode. These plurality of fourth-type via structures 213a / 213b / 213c / 213d can enable the subsequent anode to be connected to the anode connection electrode in the second conductive metal layer 212.

[0294] For example, the second planarization layer can be formed using organic materials, such as resins.

[0295] For example, Figure 31 is a schematic planar structure of an anode layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 32 is a schematic planar structure of a stack of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, an interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer, a first conductive metal layer, a passivation layer, a first planarization layer, a second conductive metal layer, a second planarization layer, and an anode layer in a first display region of a display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0296] For example, as shown in Figures 31 and 32, an anode layer 214 is disposed on the second planarization layer 213. This anode layer 214 includes multiple anode electrodes 214a / 214b / 214c / 214d. Anode electrode 214a may be an electrode corresponding to the first sub-pixel P1, anode electrode 214b may be an electrode corresponding to the second sub-pixel P2, anode electrode 214c may be an electrode corresponding to the third sub-pixel P3, and anode electrode 214d may be an electrode corresponding to the fourth sub-pixel P4. Anode electrodes 214a, 214b, 214c, and 214d are respectively connected to the anode connection electrode in the second conductive metal layer 212 through fourth-type via structures 213a, 213b, 213c, and 213d.

[0297] For example, in one example, the first sub-pixel P1 is a red sub-pixel (R) that emits red light, the second sub-pixel P2 and the fourth sub-pixel P4 are green sub-pixels (G) that emit green light, and the third sub-pixel P3 is a blue sub-pixel (B) that emits blue light. The embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this respect.

[0298] For example, the following describes the stacked structure of the second display area corresponding to the first display area in the display area described in the above embodiments. Except for the different structural design of the first conductive metal layer, which will be described separately, the other layer structures in the stacked structure of the second display area can be referred to the description of the relevant structures in the first display area in the above embodiments.

[0299] For example, Figure 33 is a schematic planar structure of a first conductive metal layer in a second display region corresponding to the first display region in Figure 22, provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0300] For example, as shown in Figure 33, the first conductive metal layer includes a first data fan-out line 51, a fan-out line connection structure 54, a connector 58, and multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. The first data fan-out line 51 extends along a first direction X, and the fan-out line connection structure 54 extends along a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. The first direction X can be a horizontal direction, and the second direction Y can be a vertical direction.

[0301] For example, as shown in Figure 33, the connector 58 is disposed between the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54. In the second display area, the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54 are both connected to the connector 58, and the connector 58 is spaced apart from the multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57.

[0302] For example, as shown in FIG33, in the second display area, the initialization signal structure includes a first initialization signal structure 55 and a second initialization signal structure 56 located on the first side of the connector 58, and a third initialization signal structure 57 located on the second side opposite to the first side. The first initialization signal structure 55, the second initialization signal structure 56 and the third initialization signal structure 57 are independent of each other and are all independent of the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0303] For example, as shown in FIG33, in the second display area, the end of the first initialization signal structure 55 furthest from the connector 58 is located on the side of the second initialization signal structure 56 furthest from the connector 58.

[0304] For example, as shown in FIG33, the first initialization signal structure 55 includes a first block portion and a strip portion connected to the first block portion, the strip portion being located on the side of the first block portion closer to the connector 58. The second and third initialization signal structures both include only block portions. For example, as shown in FIG33, in the second display area, the connector 58 and the corresponding first initialization signal structure 55 are spaced apart to have a third break 59.

[0305] For example, as shown in FIG33, in the second display area, there is a third break 59 between the connector 58 and the strip portion of the first initialization signal structure 55.

[0306] For example, as shown in FIG33, in the second display area, the planar shape of the connector 58 is bent, and the connector 58 bends and extends in the second direction Y to form a structure that protrudes toward one side of the first initialization signal structure 55.

[0307] For example, although not shown in FIG33, in the second display area, the orthographic projection of the third break 59 on the substrate 201 and the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer 212 on the substrate may or may not overlap.

[0308] For example, in one instance, when the orthographic projection of the third break 59 on the substrate 201 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer 212 on the substrate 201, the orthographic projection of the third break 59 on the substrate 201 lies within the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer 212 on the substrate 201.

[0309] For example, in one example, in the second display area, the first end of the connector 58 is connected to the first data fan-out line 51, and the second end of the connector 58 is connected to the fan-out line connection structure 54. The orthographic projection of the first end on the substrate 201 and the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer 212 on the substrate 201 overlap, and the orthographic projection of the second end on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer 212 on the substrate 201 overlap. This makes the structure of the first conductive metal layer in the first display area and the second display area closer, so as to reduce the difference in display in the first display area and the second display area.

[0310] For example, in one example, in the second display area, the connector 58 and the strip portion of the first initialization signal structure 55 are spaced apart from each other, and the strip portion of the first initialization signal structure 55 extends to the end near the connector 58 directly below the second conductive metal layer 212, so that the third break 59 is located directly below the second conductive metal layer 212, thereby reducing the difference in the stacking structure of the first conductive metal layer and the second conductive metal layer in the first display area and the second display area.

[0311] For example, Figure 34 is a schematic planar structure of a first conductive metal layer in a first display region of another display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 35 is a schematic planar structure of a stack of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, an interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer, a first conductive metal layer, a passivation layer, a first planarization layer, and a second conductive metal layer in a first display region of another display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0312] For example, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, the first conductive metal layer 209 of each circuit unit can be referred to as the first source / drain metal (SD1) layer. The first conductive metal layer 209 of each circuit unit includes at least: a first connection electrode 91, a second connection electrode 92, a third connection electrode 93, a fourth connection electrode 94, a fifth connection electrode 95, a sixth connection electrode 96, a seventh connection electrode 97, an eighth connection electrode 98, a ninth connection electrode 99, a tenth connection electrode 910, and an eleventh connection electrode 911. The first source / drain metal layer also includes a first data fan-out line 51, a fan-out line connection structure 54, a connector 58, and multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. The ninth connection electrode 99 can be referred to as the third initialization signal structure 57, the seventh connection electrode 97 can be referred to as the first initialization signal structure 55, and the eleventh connection electrode 911 can be referred to as the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0313] For example, the connection relationships between the above-mentioned connecting electrodes and other film layers can be found in the relevant descriptions above, and will not be repeated here.

[0314] For example, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, in the structure corresponding to the first display area, the first conductive metal layer 209 includes a first data fan-out line 51, a fan-out line connection structure 54, a connector 58, and a plurality of initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. The first data fan-out line 51 extends along a first direction X, and the fan-out line connection structure 54 extends along a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. For example, the first direction X is a horizontal direction, and the second direction Y is a vertical direction.

[0315] For example, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, in the structure corresponding to the first display area, the connector 58 is disposed between the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54. In the first display area, the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54 are spaced apart from the connector 58, and the connector 58 is electrically connected to one of the multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. For example, in Figures 34 and 35, the connector 58 is connected to the second initialization signal structure 56, thereby connecting the connector 58 to the corresponding signal instead of the floating electrode.

[0316] For example, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, in the first display area, the first data fan-out line 51 and the connector 58 are spaced apart to have a first break 52, and the fan-out line connection structure 54 and the connector 58 are spaced apart to have a second break 53, that is, the connector 58 does not connect the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0317] For example, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, in the first display area, the initialization signal structure includes a first initialization signal structure 55 and a second initialization signal structure 56 located on the first side of the connector 58, and a third initialization signal structure 57 located on the second side opposite to the first side. The first initialization signal structure 55, the second initialization signal structure 56 and the third initialization signal structure 57 are independent of each other and are all independent of the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0318] For example, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, in the first display area, the end of the first initialization signal structure 55 furthest from the connector 58 is located on the side furthest from the connector 58 of the end of the second initialization signal structure 56.

[0319] For example, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, the first initialization signal structure, the second initialization signal structure, and the third initialization signal structure all consist of only block-shaped parts.

[0320] For example, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, in the first display area, the middle portion 58a of the connector 58 near the second initialization signal structure 56 is connected to the second initialization signal structure 56, and the orthographic projection of the middle portion 58a on the substrate 101 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate 101 mentioned later.

[0321] It should be noted that the middle part 58a of the connector 58 refers to the part of the connector 58 that is not at the two ends, that is, the area shown by the dashed circle in Figures 34 and 35. In Figures 34 and 35, the middle part 58a is closer to the uppermost end of the connector 58.

[0322] For example, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, in the first display area, the planar shape of the connector 58 is bent, and the connector 58 bends and extends in the second direction Y to form a structure that protrudes toward one side of the second initialization signal structure 56.

[0323] It should be noted that the first initialization signal structure 55 is also the seventh connection electrode 97 mentioned above, and the third initialization signal structure 57 is also the ninth connection electrode 99 mentioned above.

[0324] For example, Figure 36 is a schematic planar structure of a first conductive metal layer in a second display region corresponding to the first display region in Figure 34, provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0325] For example, as shown in Figure 36, the first conductive metal layer includes a first data fan-out line 51, a fan-out line connection structure 54, a connector 58, and multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. The first data fan-out line 51 extends along a first direction X, and the fan-out line connection structure 54 extends along a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. The first direction X can be a horizontal direction, and the second direction Y can be a vertical direction.

[0326] For example, as shown in Figure 36, the connector 58 is disposed between the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54. In the second display area, the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54 are both connected to the connector 58, and the connector 58 is spaced apart from the multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57.

[0327] For example, as shown in FIG36, in the second display area, the initialization signal structure includes a first initialization signal structure 55 and a second initialization signal structure 56 located on the first side of the connector 58, and a third initialization signal structure 57 located on the second side opposite to the first side. The first initialization signal structure 55, the second initialization signal structure 56 and the third initialization signal structure 57 are independent of each other and are all independent of the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0328] For example, as shown in FIG36, in the second display area, the end of the first initialization signal structure 55 furthest from the connector 58 is located on the side of the second initialization signal structure 56 furthest from the connector 58 on the side furthest from the connector 58.

[0329] For example, as shown in FIG36, the first initialization signal structure 55, the second initialization signal structure 56, and the third initialization signal structure 57 each consist only of block-shaped portions. For example, in the second display area, the connector 58 and the corresponding second initialization signal structure 56 are spaced apart to have a third break 59. For example, the orthographic projection of the third break 59 on the substrate 201 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate 201.

[0330] For example, as shown in FIG36, in the second display area, the planar shape of the connector 58 is bent, and the connector 58 bends and extends in the second direction Y to form a structure that protrudes to one side of the second initialization signal structure 56.

[0331] For example, although not shown in FIG36, in the second display area, the orthographic projection of the third break 59 on the substrate 201 and the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate may or may not overlap.

[0332] For example, in one instance, when the orthographic projection of the third break 59 on the substrate 201 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate 201, the orthographic projection of the third break 59 on the substrate 201 lies within the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate 201.

[0333] For example, in one example, in the second display area, the first end of the connector 58 is connected to the first data fan-out line 51, and the second end of the connector 58 is connected to the fan-out line connection structure 54. The orthographic projection of the first end on the substrate 201 and the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate 201 overlap, and the orthographic projection of the second end on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate 201 overlap. This makes the structure of the first conductive metal layer in the first display area and the second display area closer, so as to reduce the difference in display in the first display area and the second display area.

[0334] For example, the structures of the light-shielding layer, first semiconductor layer, first gate metal layer, second gate metal layer, second semiconductor layer, third gate metal layer, interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer, first conductive metal layer, passivation layer, first planarization layer, second conductive metal layer, second planarization layer, and anode layer in the embodiments shown in Figures 34 to 36 can be referred to the relevant descriptions above, and will not be repeated here.

[0335] For example, Figure 37 is a schematic planar structure of a first conductive metal layer in a first display region of another display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 38 is a schematic planar structure of a stack of a light-shielding layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first gate metal layer, a second gate metal layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third gate metal layer, an interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer, a first conductive metal layer, a passivation layer, a first planarization layer, and a second conductive metal layer in a first display region of another display substrate provided in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0336] For example, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, the first conductive metal layer 209 of each circuit unit can be referred to as the first source-drain metal (SD1) layer. The first conductive metal layer 209 of each circuit unit includes at least: a first connection electrode 91, a second connection electrode 92, a third connection electrode 93, a fourth connection electrode 94, a fifth connection electrode 95, a sixth connection electrode 96, a seventh connection electrode 97, an eighth connection electrode 98, a ninth connection electrode 99, a tenth connection electrode 910, and an eleventh connection electrode 911. The first source-drain metal layer also includes a first data fan-out line 51, a fan-out line connection structure 54, a connector 58, and multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. The ninth connection electrode 99 can be referred to as the third initialization signal structure 57, the seventh connection electrode 97 can be referred to as the first initialization signal structure 55, and the eleventh connection electrode 911 can be referred to as the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0337] For example, the connection relationships between the above-mentioned connecting electrodes and other film layers can be found in the relevant descriptions above, and will not be repeated here.

[0338] For example, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, in the structure corresponding to the first display area, the first conductive metal layer 209 includes a first data fan-out line 51, a fan-out line connection structure 54, a connector 58, and a plurality of initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. The first data fan-out line 51 extends along a first direction X, and the fan-out line connection structure 54 extends along a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. For example, the first direction X is a horizontal direction, and the second direction Y is a vertical direction.

[0339] For example, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, in the structure corresponding to the first display area, the connector 58 is disposed between the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54. In the first display area, the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54 are spaced apart from the connector 58, and the connector 58 is electrically connected to one of the multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. For example, in Figures 37 and 38, the connector 58 is connected to the third initialization signal structure 57, thereby connecting the connector 58 to the corresponding signal instead of the floating electrode.

[0340] For example, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, in the first display area, the first data fan-out line 51 and the connector 58 are spaced apart to have a first break 52, and the fan-out line connection structure 54 and the connector 58 are spaced apart to have a second break 53, that is, the connector 58 does not connect the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0341] For example, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, in the first display area, the initialization signal structure includes a first initialization signal structure 55 and a second initialization signal structure 56 located on the first side of the connector 58, and a third initialization signal structure 57 located on the second side opposite to the first side. The first initialization signal structure 55, the second initialization signal structure 56 and the third initialization signal structure 57 are independent of each other and are all independent of the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0342] For example, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, in the first display area, the end of the first initialization signal structure 55 furthest from the connector 58 is located on the side furthest from the connector 58 of the end of the second initialization signal structure 56.

[0343] For example, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, the first initialization signal structure 55, the second initialization signal structure 56, and the third initialization signal structure 57 all consist of only block-shaped portions.

[0344] For example, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, in the first display area, the side of the connector 58 near the first end of the first data fan-out line 51 near the third initialization signal structure 57 is electrically connected to the third initialization signal structure 57, and the orthographic projection of the first end of the connector 58 near the first data fan-out line 51 on the substrate 101 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer mentioned later on the substrate 101.

[0345] For example, as shown in FIG37, the side of the connector 58 near the first end of the first data fan-out line 51 and near the third initialization signal structure 57 is the third end 58b, and the orthographic projection of the third end 58b on the substrate 201 and the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer 212 on the substrate 201 overlap.

[0346] For example, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, in the first display area, the planar shape of the connector 58 is bent, and the connector 58 bends and extends in the second direction Y to form a structure that protrudes toward one side of the second initialization signal structure 56.

[0347] It should be noted that the first initialization signal structure 55 is also the seventh connection electrode 97 mentioned above, and the third initialization signal structure 57 is also the ninth connection electrode 99 mentioned above.

[0348] For example, Figure 39 is a schematic planar structure of a first conductive metal layer in a second display region corresponding to the first display region in Figure 37, provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0349] For example, as shown in Figure 39, the first conductive metal layer includes a first data fan-out line 51, a fan-out line connection structure 54, a connector 58, and multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. The first data fan-out line 51 extends along a first direction X, and the fan-out line connection structure 54 extends along a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. The first direction X can be a horizontal direction, and the second direction Y can be a vertical direction.

[0350] For example, as shown in Figure 39, the connector 58 is disposed between the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54. In the second display area, the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54 are both connected to the connector 58, and the connector 58 is spaced apart from the multiple initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57.

[0351] For example, as shown in FIG39, in the second display area, the initialization signal structure includes a first initialization signal structure 55 and a second initialization signal structure 56 located on the first side of the connector 58, and a third initialization signal structure 57 located on the second side opposite to the first side. The first initialization signal structure 55, the second initialization signal structure 56 and the third initialization signal structure 57 are independent of each other and are all independent of the first data fan-out line 51 and the fan-out line connection structure 54.

[0352] For example, as shown in FIG39, in the second display area, the end of the first initialization signal structure 55 furthest from the connector 58 is located on the side of the second initialization signal structure 56 furthest from the connector 58.

[0353] For example, as shown in FIG39, both the second initialization signal structure 56 and the third initialization signal structure 57 consist only of block-shaped portions. For example, in the second display area, the connector 58 and the corresponding third initialization signal structure 56 are spaced apart to have a third break 59, the orthographic projection of which is on the substrate does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate.

[0354] For example, as shown in FIG39, in the second display area, the planar shape of the connector 58 is bent, and the connector 58 bends and extends in the second direction Y to form a structure that protrudes to one side of the second initialization signal structure 56.

[0355] For example, although not shown in FIG39, in the second display area, the orthographic projection of the third break 59 on the substrate 201 and the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate may or may not overlap.

[0356] For example, in one instance, when the orthographic projection of the third break 59 on the substrate 201 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate 201, the orthographic projection of the third break 59 on the substrate 201 lies within the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate 201.

[0357] For example, in one example, in the second display area, the first end of the connector 58 is connected to the first data fan-out line 51, and the second end of the connector 58 is connected to the fan-out line connection structure 54. The orthographic projection of the first end on the substrate 201 and the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate 201 overlap, and the orthographic projection of the second end on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second conductive metal layer on the substrate 201 overlap. This makes the structure of the first conductive metal layer in the first display area and the second display area closer, so as to reduce the difference in display in the first display area and the second display area.

[0358] For example, the structures of the light-shielding layer, first semiconductor layer, first gate metal layer, second gate metal layer, second semiconductor layer, third gate metal layer, interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer, first conductive metal layer, passivation layer, first planarization layer, second conductive metal layer, second planarization layer, and anode layer in the embodiments shown in Figures 37 to 39 can be found in the relevant descriptions above, and will not be repeated here.

[0359] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the display substrate, the display substrate may include a light-shielding layer disposed on a substrate, a first semiconductor layer disposed on the side of the light-shielding layer away from the substrate, a first gate metal layer disposed on the side of the first semiconductor layer away from the substrate, a second gate metal layer disposed on the side of the first gate metal layer away from the substrate, a second semiconductor layer disposed on the side of the second gate metal layer away from the substrate, a third gate metal layer disposed on the side of the second semiconductor layer away from the substrate, an interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer disposed on the side of the third gate metal layer away from the substrate, a first conductive metal layer disposed on the side of the interlayer insulating layer / etch barrier layer away from the substrate, a passivation layer and a first planarization layer disposed on the side of the first conductive metal layer away from the substrate, a second conductive metal layer disposed on the side of the passivation layer and the first planarization layer away from the substrate, a second planarization layer disposed on the side of the second conductive metal layer away from the substrate, and an anode layer disposed on the side of the second planarization layer away from the substrate. For example, the first semiconductor layer includes at least the active layers of the third transistor T3 to the ninth transistor T9. The first gate metal layer 203 includes a second scan signal line 2031, a fourth scan signal line 3032, a light emission control signal line 2033, a first initialization signal line 2034, and a first electrode 2035 of a storage capacitor. The second gate metal layer 204 includes a second electrode 2041 of a storage capacitor, a first light-shielding line 2042, and a second light-shielding line 2043. The second semiconductor layer 205 includes at least the active layers of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2. The third gate metal layer 206 includes at least the first scan signal line 2061, a third scan signal line 2062, a second initialization signal line 2063, and a third initialization signal line 2064. The first conductive metal layer 209 includes at least a plurality of connection electrodes, a first data fan-out line 51, a fan-out line connection structure 54, a connector 58, and a plurality of initialization signal structures 55 / 56 / 57. The second conductive metal layer 212 includes at least an initialization signal connection line 212d, an anode connection electrode 212c, a power supply voltage signal line 212a, a data signal line 212b, and a second data fan-out line 212e, which are arranged sequentially in the first direction X and all extend in the second direction Y.

[0360] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, after the driving circuit layer is fabricated, a light-emitting structure layer can be fabricated on the driving circuit layer first, and then an encapsulation structure layer can be fabricated on the light-emitting structure layer. The structures of the light-emitting functional layer and the encapsulation structure layer can refer to conventional designs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0363] For example, at least the display device disclosed herein may further include a functional component located on the side of the substrate away from the light-emitting element. For example, the functional component includes at least one of a camera module (e.g., a front-facing camera module), a 3D structured light module (e.g., a 3D structured light sensor), a time-of-flight 3D imaging module (e.g., a time-of-flight sensor), and an infrared sensing module (e.g., an infrared sensing sensor).
