[0083] Detailed Explanation

[0084] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation methods can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other. To keep the following description of the embodiments of this disclosure clear and concise, detailed descriptions of some known functions and components have been omitted. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this disclosure only relate to the structures involved in the embodiments of this disclosure; other structures can be referred to with reference to general designs.

[0085] The scale of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual manufacturing processes, but is not limited thereto. For example, the aspect ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the quantities shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the figures.

[0086] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.

[0087] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0088] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0089] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0090] In this specification, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged.

[0091] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.

[0092] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.

[0093] In this disclosure, "A extends along direction B" means that A may include a main part and a secondary part connected to the main part. The main part is a line, line segment, or strip-shaped body. The main part extends along direction B, and the length of the main part extending along direction B is greater than the length of the secondary part extending along other directions. In the following description, "A extends along direction B" refers to "the main body of A extends along direction B".

[0094] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."

[0095] In this specification, the term "same-layer arrangement" refers to a structure formed by patterning two (or more) structures through the same patterning process, and their materials may be the same or different. For example, the precursors forming multiple structures in a same-layer arrangement may be made of the same material, while the final materials may be the same or different.

[0096] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined; they can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, as are chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.

[0097] In this disclosure, “about” means a value that is not strictly limited and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0098] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a display device. As shown in Figure 1, the display device may include a timing controller, a data driving circuit, a scan driving circuit, a light-emitting driving circuit, and a pixel array. The timing controller is connected to the data driving circuit, the scan driving circuit, and the light-emitting driving circuit. The data driving circuit is connected to multiple data signal lines (D1 to Dn), the scan driving circuit is connected to multiple scan signal lines (S1 to Sm), and the light-emitting driving circuit is connected to multiple light-emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo). The pixel array may include multiple sub-pixels Pxij, where i and j can be natural numbers. At least one sub-pixel Pxij may include a circuit unit and a light-emitting device connected to the circuit unit. The circuit unit may include a pixel driving circuit, which may be connected to the scan signal lines, the light-emitting signal lines, and the data signal lines. In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller can provide grayscale values ​​and control signals of specifications suitable for the data driving circuit to the data driving circuit, provide clock signals, scan start signals, etc. of specifications suitable for the scan driving circuit to the scan driving circuit, and provide clock signals, emission stop signals, etc. of specifications suitable for the light-emitting driving circuit to the light-emitting driving circuit. The data driving circuit can use grayscale values ​​and control signals received from the timing controller to generate data voltages to be provided to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., Dn. For example, the data driving circuit can sample grayscale values ​​using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the grayscale values ​​to data signal lines D1 to Dn on a pixel-by-pixel basis, where n can be a natural number. The scan driving circuit can generate scan signals to be provided to scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, ..., Sm by receiving clock signals, scan start signals, etc., from the timing controller. For example, the scan driving circuit can sequentially provide scan signals with on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driving circuit can be configured as a shift register and can generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting scan start signals in the form of on-level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where m can be a natural number. The light-emitting driving circuit can generate emission signals to be provided to light-emitting signal lines EM1, E2, E3, ..., Eo by receiving clock signals, transmit stop signals, etc., from the timing controller. For example, the light-emitting driver circuit can sequentially provide transmit signals with cutoff level pulses to the light-emitting signal lines EM1 to Eo. For example, the light-emitting driver circuit can be constructed in the form of a shift register and can generate transmit signals by sequentially transmitting transmit stop signals in the form of cutoff level pulses to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, where o can be a natural number.

The pixel driving circuits in the first, second, and third sub-pixels are respectively connected to a scan signal line, a data signal line, and a light-emitting signal line. The pixel driving circuits are configured to receive the data voltage transmitted by the data signal line and output a corresponding current to the light-emitting device under the control of the scan signal line and the light-emitting signal line. The light-emitting devices in the first, second, and third sub-pixels are respectively connected to the pixel driving circuit of their respective sub-pixels, and the light-emitting devices are configured to emit light of a corresponding brightness in response to the current output by the pixel driving circuit of their respective sub-pixels.

[0106] In an exemplary embodiment, the third transistor T3 can be referred to as a driving transistor, and the third transistor T3 determines the magnitude of the driving current flowing between the first power line VDD and the second power line VSS based on the potential difference between its control electrode and the first electrode. The fourth transistor T4 can be referred to as a switching transistor or a scanning transistor. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 can be referred to as light-emitting transistors.

[0107] In an exemplary embodiment, the second electrode of the light-emitting device is connected to the second power line VSS, where the signal of the second power line VSS is a low-level signal, and the signal of the first power line VDD is a continuously high-level signal. The scan signal line Gate is the scan signal line in the pixel driving circuit of this display row, and the first reset signal line Reset1 is the scan signal line in the pixel driving circuit of the previous display row. The first reset signal line Reset1 of this display row and the scan signal line Gate in the pixel driving circuit of the previous display row are the same signal line, which can reduce the number of signal lines on the display panel and achieve a narrow bezel on the display panel.

[0108] In an exemplary embodiment, for at least one pixel driving circuit, the second reset signal line may be the same signal line as the first reset signal line, or it may be the same signal line as the scan signal line.

[0109] Based on their characteristics, transistors can be classified into N-type transistors and P-type transistors. When a transistor is P-type, its turn-on voltage is a low-level voltage (e.g., 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltage), and its turn-off voltage is a high-level voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltage). When a transistor is N-type, its turn-on voltage is a high-level voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltage), and its turn-off voltage is a low-level voltage (e.g., 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltage).

[0110] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 can be either P-type transistors or N-type transistors. Using the same type of transistor in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel, and improve the product yield. In some possible implementations, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 may include both P-type and N-type transistors.

[0111] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7 can be a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor, or an oxide thin-film transistor, or a combination of both. The active layer of the LTPS is made of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon, while the active layer of the oxide thin-film transistor is made of oxide. LTPS transistors have advantages such as high mobility and fast charging, while oxide thin-film transistors have advantages such as low leakage current. Integrating LTPS and oxide thin-film transistors onto a single display substrate to form a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display substrate leverages the advantages of both, enabling low-frequency driving, reducing power consumption, and improving display quality.

[0112] In an exemplary embodiment, the scan signal line Gate, the first reset signal line Reset1, the second reset signal line Reset2, the light emission signal line EM, the first initial signal line INIT1, and the second initial signal line INIT2 can extend in the horizontal direction, while the first power supply line VDD and the data signal line Data can extend in the vertical direction.

[0113] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting device L may include a current-driven device, such as a current-driven light-emitting diode, like a micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED), a mini light-emitting diode (Mini LED), an organic light-emitting diode (Organic Light Emitting Diode), or a quantum light-emitting diode (QLED). The typical size (e.g., length) of a Micro LED can be less than 100 μm, for example, 10 μm to 50 μm. The typical size (e.g., length) of a Mini LED can be approximately 100 μm to 300 μm, for example, 120 μm to 260 μm.

[0114] In an exemplary embodiment, the organic light-emitting layer may include stacked hole injection layer (HIL), hole transport layer (HTL), electron block layer (EBL), emitting layer (EML), hole block layer (HBL), electron transport layer (ETL), and electron injection layer (EIL). In this exemplary embodiment, the hole injection layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, the electron injection layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, the hole transport layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, the hole block layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, and the emitting layers of adjacent sub-pixels may have a small overlap or may be isolated. Similarly, the electron block layers of adjacent sub-pixels may have a small overlap or may be isolated.

[0115] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting device may be an organic light-emitting diode, including a first electrode (anode), an organic light-emitting layer, and a second electrode (cathode) stacked together.

[0116] Figure 3 is a timing diagram of a pixel driving circuit. The following describes an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure through the operation of the pixel driving circuit illustrated in Figure 2. The pixel driving circuit in Figure 2 includes seven transistors (first transistor T1 to seventh transistor T7) and one storage capacitor C. All seven transistors are P-type transistors.

[0117] In an exemplary embodiment, the operation of the pixel driving circuit may include:

[0118] In the first stage A1, also known as the reset stage, the signals on the first reset signal line Reset1 and the second reset signal line Reset2 are low-level signals, while the signals on the scan signal line Gate and the light emission signal line EM are high-level signals. The first transistor T1 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, while the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off.

[0119] The first transistor T1 is turned on, and the signal of the first initial signal line INIT1 is provided to the second node N2 to initialize (reset) the storage capacitor C, clearing the original charge in the storage capacitor. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the initial voltage of the second initial signal line INIT2 is provided to the first terminal of the light-emitting device L to initialize (reset) the first terminal of the light-emitting device L, clearing the pre-stored voltage inside it, and completing the initialization.

[0120] The second stage, A2, is called the data writing stage or threshold compensation stage. The Gate signal is low, while the Reset1, Reset2, and EM signals are high. The Data signal outputs the data voltage. The second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, while the first transistor T1, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7 are turned off.

[0121] The second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on. The data voltage output by the data signal line Data is provided to the first node N1 through the first node N1, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor T2. The difference between the data voltage output by 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 second terminal (first node N1) of the storage capacitor C is Vdd-|Vth|, where Vdd is the data voltage output by the data signal line Data and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3.

[0122] The third stage, A3, is called the light-emitting stage. The light-emitting signal line EM is at a low level, while the scan signal line Gate / first reset signal line Reset1 and second reset signal line Reset2 are at a high level. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, while the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the seventh transistor T7 are turned off.

[0123] When the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, the power supply voltage output from the first power line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the light-emitting device L, driving the light-emitting device L to emit light.

[0124] During the pixel driving circuit operation, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its gate electrode and its first electrode. Since the voltage at the first node N1 is Vdata - |Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is: I = K*(Vgs - Vth). 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vdata+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K*(Vdd-Vdata) 2

[0125] Where I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, which is the driving current driving the light-emitting device L, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, and Vdd is the power supply voltage output by the first power supply line VDD.

[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 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. This ensures uniform display brightness of the display product and improves the overall display effect of the display product.

[0127] In exemplary embodiments, the light-emitting device may include a current-driven device, such as a current-driven light-emitting diode, like a micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED), a mini light-emitting diode (Mini LED), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or a quantum light-emitting diode (QLED). Typical dimensions (e.g., length) of a Micro LED can be less than 100 μm, for example, 10 μm to 50 μm. Typical dimensions (e.g., length) of a Mini LED can be approximately 100 μm to 300 μm, for example, 120 μm to 260 μm.

[0128] In an exemplary embodiment, the organic light-emitting layer may include stacked hole injection layer (HIL), hole transport layer (HTL), electron block layer (EBL), emitting layer (EML), hole block layer (HBL), electron transport layer (ETL), and electron injection layer (EIL). In this exemplary embodiment, the hole injection layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, the electron injection layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, the hole transport layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, the hole block layers of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, and the emitting layers of adjacent sub-pixels may have a small overlap or may be isolated. Similarly, the electron block layers of adjacent sub-pixels may have a small overlap or may be isolated.

[0129] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting device may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), including a first electrode (anode), an organic light-emitting layer, and a second electrode (cathode) stacked together.

[0130] On a plane perpendicular to the display substrate, the display substrate may include a driving circuit layer disposed on the substrate, a light-emitting structure layer disposed on the side of the driving circuit layer away from the substrate, and an encapsulation structure layer disposed on the side of the light-emitting structure layer away from the substrate. In some possible implementations, the display substrate may include other film layers, such as a touch structure layer, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0131] In an exemplary embodiment, the substrate can be a flexible substrate or a rigid substrate. The driving circuit layer for each sub-pixel may include multiple transistors and storage capacitors constituting the pixel driving circuit. The light-emitting structure layer may include an anode, a pixel definition layer, an organic light-emitting layer, and a cathode. The anode is connected to the pixel driving circuit via a via, the organic light-emitting layer is connected to the anode, and the cathode is connected to the organic light-emitting layer. The organic light-emitting layer emits light of the corresponding color under the driving force of the anode and cathode. The encapsulation structure layer may include a first encapsulation layer, a second encapsulation layer, and a third encapsulation layer stacked together. The first and third encapsulation layers may be made of inorganic materials, while the second encapsulation layer may be made of organic materials. The second encapsulation layer is disposed between the first and third encapsulation layers to prevent external moisture from entering the light-emitting structure layer.

[0132] In an exemplary embodiment, the display substrate may further include a multiplexing circuit. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the multiplexing circuit connection. As shown in Figure 4, the multiplexing circuit is electrically connected to multiple data signal lines Data and multiple data output lines SL. The number of data output lines SL is less than the number of data signal lines Data, which simplifies the structure of the data driving circuit.

[0133] The display substrate may include a display area and a non-display area. A multiplexing circuit may be disposed in the display area. In this case, the orthographic projection of the first electrode of at least one light-emitting device on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the multiplexing circuit on the substrate. This causes the signal transmitted by the multiplexing circuit to interfere with the signal of the first electrode of at least one light-emitting device, reducing the reliability of the display substrate.

[0134] Therefore, this disclosure provides a display substrate and a display device.

[0135] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the display substrate provided in the embodiment of this disclosure, and Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a portion of the film layers in Figure 5. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the embodiment of this disclosure provides a display substrate, including: a substrate, the substrate including: a display area AA and a non-display area BB located on at least one side of the display area AA.

Referring to Figures 5 to 7, the multiplexing circuit 10 includes: multiple multiplexing sub-circuits 11 and multiple multiplexing control signal lines 12. The multiple multiplexing sub-circuits 11 are located on the side of the multiple multiplexing control signal lines 12 closest to the display area AA and arranged along a first direction D1. The multiple multiplexing control signal lines 12 extend along the first direction D1 and are arranged along a second direction D2. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 intersect.

[0138] In an exemplary embodiment, the intersection of the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 means that the included angle between the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 is approximately 70 to 90 degrees. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 may be located in the same plane. For example, the first direction D1 may be a row direction, parallel to the extension direction of the scan line; the second direction D2 may be a column direction, parallel to the extension direction of the data line.

[0139] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG7, each multiplexing sub-circuit 11 of the plurality of multiplexing sub-circuits is electrically connected to at least one data output line SL and at least two data lines Data of the plurality of data output lines, configured to transmit the data signal provided by at least one data output line SL to at least two data lines Data in a time-division manner under the control of the plurality of multiplexing control signal lines 12.

[0140] In an exemplary embodiment, the number of data lines Data connected to a multiplexed subcircuit 11 is the same as the number of multiplexed control signal lines 12.

[0141] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting device includes a first electrode 22, an organic light-emitting layer, and a second electrode. Figure 5 only shows the first electrode 22 of the light-emitting device.

[0142] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG7, each multiplexed sub-circuit includes multiple multiplexed transistors RT, the orthographic projection of the light-emitting device of at least one sub-pixel on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one of the multiple multiplexed transistors RT on the substrate, and multiple multiplexed control signal lines 12 are electrically connected to the control electrodes of the multiple multiplexed transistors RT.

[0143] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG5, the orthographic projection of the light-emitting device of at least one sub-pixel on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one multiplexed control signal line 12 among the multiple multiplexed control signal lines on the substrate, and / or overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least one multiplexed transistor RT on the substrate. FIG5 is illustrated using the example of the orthographic projection of the light-emitting device of at least one sub-pixel on the substrate overlapping with the orthographic projection of at least one multiplexed control signal line 12 among the multiple multiplexed control signal lines on the substrate, and overlapping with the orthographic projection of at least one multiplexed transistor RT on the substrate.

[0144] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG5, the first electrode 22 is electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit. The orthographic projection of the first electrode 22 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection portion of at least one of the multiplexed control signal lines 12 on the substrate, and / or overlaps with the orthographic projection portion of at least one multiplexed transistor RT on the substrate.

[0145] In an exemplary embodiment, the number of data transmission lines SL is equal to the number of data lines Data divided by the number of multiplexed control signal lines 12.

[0146] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG5, the shielding structure 30 is located between the first electrode 22 and the multiplexed transistor RT in a direction perpendicular to the substrate.

[0147] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG5, the orthographic projection of the shielding structure 30 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of at least one pixel driving circuit 21 on the substrate do not overlap. This lack of overlap reduces the impact of the shielding structure on the pixel driving circuit 21, further improving the reliability of the display substrate.

The bonding area B1 is located on one side of the display area AA, and the border area B2 is located on at least one side of the display area AA. In the exemplary embodiment, the border area B2 and the bonding area B1 are connected and together surround the display area AA. For example, the bonding area B1 may be the lower border of the display substrate, and the border area B2 may include the upper border, left border, and right border of the display substrate.

[0149] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, multiple multiplexed control signal lines 12 are located in the binding area B1 of the non-display area BB.

[0150] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the display substrate also includes: multiple first power lines VDD located in the display area AA. The first power lines VDD extend at least partially along the second direction D2 and are electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit 21.

[0151] As shown in Figure 5, the orthographic projection of the first power line VDD on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the multiplexing circuit 10 on the substrate do not overlap.

[0152] As shown in Figure 5, the first power supply line VL1 is located in the display area and the binding area B1, and is electrically connected to multiple first power supply lines VDD.

The orthographic projection of the second power supply line VL2 on the substrate is located on the side of the first power supply line VL1 on the substrate that is away from the display area AA.

[0154] In an exemplary embodiment, the shielding structure 30 is electrically connected to one of the first power supply line VL1 and the second power supply line. This electrical connection allows the shielding structure to transmit DC signals, further enhancing its shielding effect, improving the reliability of the display substrate, and ultimately enhancing its display performance.

That is, the upward-facing surface of the composite circuit region B13 can be transformed into a downward-facing surface by bending the bending region B12. The third direction intersects the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 respectively. In an exemplary embodiment, when the bending region B12 is bent, the composite circuit region B13 can overlap with the display area AA in the third direction (thickness direction).
