Detailed Implementation

[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, 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 varied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the 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.

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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, and the "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be interchanged.

[0058] 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.

[0059] 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°.

[0060] 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."

[0061] 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 chamfered corners, curved edges, and other variations.

[0062] In this disclosure, “about” means a value that is not strictly limited and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0063] 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 driver, a scan driver, a light-emitting driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is connected to the data driver, the scan driver, and the light-emitting driver. The data driver is connected to multiple data signal lines (D1 to Dn), the scan driver is connected to multiple scan signal lines (S1 to Sm), and the light-emitting driver is connected to multiple light-emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo). n, m, and o can be natural numbers. 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 unit. The circuit unit may include at least a pixel driving circuit, which is connected to the scan signal lines, the light-emitting signal lines, and the data signal lines. The light-emitting unit may include a light-emitting device, which is connected to the pixel driving circuit of the circuit unit. In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller can provide grayscale values ​​and control signals suitable for the specifications of the data driver to the data driver, clock signals, scan start signals, etc. suitable for the specifications of the scan driver to the scan driver, and clock signals, transmit stop signals, etc. suitable for the specifications of the light-emitting driver to the light-emitting driver. The data driver can use the grayscale values ​​and control signals received from the timing controller to generate data voltages to be provided to data signal lines D1, D2, D3, ..., Dn. For example, the data driver can sample grayscale values ​​using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to grayscale values ​​to data signal lines D1 to Dn on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The scan driver 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 driver can sequentially provide scan signals with on-level pulses to scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, a scan driver can be configured as a shift register and can generate scan signals by sequentially transmitting scan start signals, provided in the form of on-level pulses, to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal. An emissive driver can generate transmit signals to be provided to the emissive signal lines E1, E2, E3, ..., Eo by receiving clock signals, transmit stop signals, etc., from a timing controller. For example, the emissive driver can sequentially provide transmit signals with off-level pulses to the emissive signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the emissive driver can be configured as a shift register and can generate transmit signals by sequentially transmitting transmit stop signals, provided in the form of off-level pulses, to the next stage circuit under the control of a clock signal. In an exemplary embodiment, a pixel array can be disposed on a display substrate.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, the lead-out area in the binding area 200 and the power line area in the border area 300 may be provided with isolation dams. The isolation dams may extend along a direction parallel to the edge of the display area to form a ring structure surrounding the display area 100. The edge of the display area is the edge of the binding area or the border area of ​​the display area.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the display area 100 may further include multiple data signal lines 72, multiple first connection lines 81, and multiple second connection lines 82.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first connection lines 81 and the second connection lines 82 are collectively referred to as data connection lines.

The "patterning process" described in this disclosure includes, for metallic, inorganic, or transparent conductive materials, processes such as depositing a film, coating with photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping; for organic materials, it includes processes such as coating with organic materials, mask exposure, and development.

This disclosure does not limit the methods used. A "thin film" refers to a thin film made of a certain material on a substrate using deposition, coating, or other processes. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it can also be called a "layer." If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern." The phrase "A and B are arranged in the same layer" in this disclosure means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer is the dimension of the film layer in the direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary range of the orthographic projection of A, or the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

The power shielding electrode 74 can be block-shaped (e.g., rectangular) and can be located on the side of the first power line 71 near the first sub-line 61 and connected to the first power line 71. The orthographic projection of the power shielding electrode 74 on the substrate overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the first connecting electrode 51 on the substrate. Since the first connecting electrode 51 serves as the first node N1 of the pixel driving circuit, the power shielding electrode 74, which has a constant potential, can shield the first node N1, thereby avoiding the influence of data voltage jumps on the first node N1, improving the stability of the potential of the first node N1, improving the working stability of the pixel driving circuit, and improving the display effect.

[0251] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the power shield electrode 74 onto the substrate may include the orthographic projection of the first connection electrode 51 onto the substrate.

[0252] In an exemplary embodiment, the data signal line 72 can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the second direction Y in its main body. The data signal line 72 is connected to the second connection electrode 52 through the twenty-second via V22. Since the second connection electrode 52 is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the via, the data signal line 72 writes the data signal to the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4.

[0253] In an exemplary embodiment, the anode connection electrode 73 can be a strip shape extending along the first direction X. The anode connection electrode 73 is connected to the fourth connection electrode 54 through the twenty-third via V23, and the anode connection electrode 73 is configured to be connected to the subsequently formed anode. Since the fourth connection electrode 54 is connected to the second region of the sixth active layer (which is also the second region of the seventh active layer) through the via, the pixel driving circuit can output driving current to the light-emitting device.

[0254] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth conductive layer may further include a second sub-line 62, a fourth sub-line 64, and a second connecting line 82.

[0255] In an exemplary embodiment, the second sub-line 62 can be a strip shape in which the main body extends along the second direction Y, and can be located in the circuit cell of the Nth unit column. In the first direction X, the second sub-line 62 can be disposed between the first power line 71 and the data signal line 72. In the second direction Y, one second sub-line 62 can be disposed between the light-emitting signal line 23 in the previous unit row and the first scan signal line 21 in the current unit row, and another second sub-line 62 can be disposed between the light-emitting signal line 23 in the current unit row and the first scan signal line 21 in the next unit row; that is, the second sub-line 62 can span adjacent unit rows. For example, one second sub-line 62 can span between the (M-1)th unit row and the Mth unit row, and another second sub-line 62 can span between the Mth unit row and the (M+1)th unit row.

[0256] In an exemplary embodiment, the second end of the second sub-line 62 spanning the (M-1)th and Mth unit rows can be connected to the first end of the first sub-line 61 of this circuit unit through the twenty-fourth via V24, and the first end of the second sub-line 62 spanning the Mth and M+1th unit rows can be connected to the second end of the first sub-line 61 of this circuit unit through the twenty-fifth via V25. The interconnected first sub-line 61 and second sub-line 62 form a first initial connection line in the Nth unit column. Since the first sub-line 61 is connected to the first initial signal line 41 through the sub-line connecting strip 65 and the sixth connecting electrode 56, a network connection structure for transmitting the first initial signal is formed by the first initial signal line 41 extending along the first direction X and the first initial connection line extending along the second direction Y. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the first initial signal line and reduces the voltage drop of the first initial signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the first initial signal in the display substrate, effectively improving display uniformity, display quality, and display performance.

[0257] In an exemplary embodiment, a first initial connection line including a first sub-line 61 and a second sub-line 62 is disposed between the first power line 71 and the data signal line 72 of the circuit unit in the Nth unit column. The first initial connection line having a constant potential separates the first power line 71 and the data signal line 72, which can effectively reduce the coupling between the first power line 71 and the data signal line 72 and improve crosstalk.

[0258] In an exemplary embodiment, a first initial connection line including a first sub-line 61 and a second sub-line 62 is disposed between the first connection electrode 51 and the data connection line 72 of the circuit unit in the Nth unit column. The first initial connection line with a constant potential separates the first connection electrode 51 from the data connection line 72, which can not only reduce the coupling between the first node N1 and the data connection line 72 and improve crosstalk, but also reduce the impact of data jump voltage on the first node N1 and improve the potential stability of the first node N1.

[0259] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth sub-line 64 can be a strip shape in which the main body extends along the second direction Y, and can be located in the circuit cell of the (N+1)th unit column. In the first direction X, the fourth sub-line 64 can be disposed between the first power line 71 and the data signal line 72. In the second direction Y, one fourth sub-line 64 can be disposed between the light-emitting signal line 23 in the previous unit row and the first scan signal line 21 in the current unit row, and another fourth sub-line 64 can be disposed between the light-emitting signal line 23 in the current unit row and the first scan signal line 21 in the next unit row; that is, the second sub-line 62 can span adjacent unit rows. For example, one fourth sub-line 64 can span between the (M-1)th unit row and the Mth unit row, and another fourth sub-line 64 can span between the Mth unit row and the (M+1)th unit row.

[0260] In an exemplary embodiment, the second end of the fourth sub-line 64, which spans across the (M-1)th and Mth unit rows, can be connected to the first end of the third sub-line 63 of this circuit unit via the twenty-sixth via V26. The first end of the fourth sub-line 64, which spans across the Mth and M+1th unit rows, can be connected to the second end of the third sub-line 63 of this circuit unit via the twenty-seventh via V27. The interconnected third sub-line 63 and fourth sub-line 64 form a second initial connection line in the N+1th unit column. Since the third sub-line 63 is connected to the second initial signal line 42, a network connection structure for transmitting the second initial signal is formed by the second initial signal line 42 extending along the first direction X and the second initial connection line extending along the second direction Y. This not only effectively reduces the resistance of the second initial signal line and decreases the voltage drop of the second initial signal, but also effectively improves the uniformity of the second initial signal in the display substrate, thereby improving display uniformity, display quality, and display performance.

[0261] In an exemplary embodiment, a second initial connection line including a third sub-line 63 and a fourth sub-line 64 is disposed between the first power line 71 and the data signal line 72 of the circuit unit in the N+1th unit column. The second initial connection line with a constant potential separates the first power line 71 and the data signal line 72, which can effectively reduce the coupling between the first power line 71 and the data signal line 72 and improve crosstalk.

[0262] In an exemplary embodiment, a second initial connection line including a third sub-line 63 and a fourth sub-line 64 is disposed between the first connection electrode 51 and the data connection line 72 of the circuit unit in the N+1th unit column. The second initial connection line with a constant potential separates the first connection electrode 51 from the data connection line 72, which can not only reduce the coupling between the first node N1 and the data connection line 72 and improve crosstalk, but also reduce the impact of data jump voltage on the first node N1 and improve the potential stability of the first node N1.

[0263] In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the second connecting line 82 can be a straight line or a broken line extending along the second direction Y of the main body. The second connecting line 82 can be located on the side of the data signal line 72 away from the first power line 71. The second connecting line 82 of the Nth unit column is adjacent to the second connecting line 82 of the N+1th unit column. The second connecting line 82 of the Nth unit column can be connected to the data connection block 83 of the first connecting line 81 through the twenty-eighth via V28. Since the data connection block 83 is connected to the first connecting line 81, the first connecting line 81 is configured to be connected to the data signal line in the display area, and the second connecting line 82 is configured to be connected to the data lead-out line in the binding area. Thus, the interconnection between the first connecting line 81 extending along the first direction X of the main body and the second connecting line 82 extending along the second direction Y of the main body is realized. The data lead-out line in the binding area is connected to the data signal line in the display area through the first connecting line 81 and the second connecting line 82.

[0264] In an exemplary embodiment, the third connection electrode 53 may be disposed between the second connection line 82 in the Nth unit column and the second connection line 82 in the N+1th unit column. The third connection electrode 53 with a constant potential separates the two second connection lines 82, which can reduce the coupling between the two second connection lines 82 and improve crosstalk.

[0265] In an exemplary embodiment, the sixth connection electrode 56 may be disposed between the second connection line 82 in the Nth unit column and the second connection line 82 in the N+1th unit column. The sixth connection electrode 56, having a constant potential, separates the two second connection lines 82, thereby reducing the coupling between the two second connection lines 82 and improving crosstalk.

[0266] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second connecting line 82 of the N+1th unit column onto the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the dummy connecting block 84 onto the substrate, but is not connected to the dummy connecting block 84 through a via.

[0267] In an exemplary embodiment, a second break K2 may be provided on the second connecting line 82 of the Nth unit column. The second break K2 cuts off the second connecting line 82, so that the second connecting lines 82 located on both sides of the second direction Y of the second break K2 are mutually insulated.

[0268] In an exemplary embodiment, the second break K2 may be located on the side of the second scan signal line 22 away from the second electrode plate 32, and the orthographic projection of the second break K2 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first initial signal line 41 on the substrate.

[0269] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second break K2 on the substrate can be located within the range of the orthographic projection of the first initial signal line 41 on the substrate. The first initial signal line 41 can support the first break K1 from below, which can effectively eliminate the film layer difference in different areas, which is beneficial for shadow removal and avoids poor appearance of the display substrate.

[0270] Figure 14C is a schematic diagram of the connection structure of a data signal line, a first connecting line, and a second connecting line according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 14C, at least one circuit unit may further include a data connecting strip 85. The data connecting strip 85 may be shaped as a strip extending along the second direction Y, and may be disposed between the second connecting electrode 52 and the first connecting line 81.

[0287] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projections of the first anode body portion 110-1 and the third anode body portion 130-1 onto the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of the two data signal lines 72 and the two second connecting lines 82 onto the substrate. This embodiment, by setting the first anode body portion and the third anode body portion to overlap with the four signal lines, can more effectively improve the flatness of the larger first and third anodes.

[0288] In an exemplary embodiment, the first anode body portion 110-1 and the third anode body portion 130-1 may have an anode centerline, which is a straight line passing through the geometric center of the first anode body portion 110-1 or the third anode body portion 130-1 and extending along the second direction Y.

This embodiment, by setting a structure where the four signal lines are substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the anode centerline, not only effectively improves the flatness of the first and third anodes and reduces color shift, but also helps ensure the consistency of the electrical environment.

[0289] In an exemplary embodiment, the first anode 110 may further include a first compensation portion 110-3 and a second compensation portion 110-4.

[0291] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projections of the second anode body portion 120-1 and the fourth anode body portion 140-1 on the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first power line 71 on the substrate.

Compared to the technical solution where the anodes of the G1 / G2 light-emitting devices are positioned above the data signal line 72 and the second connection line 82, this disclosure, by positioning the anodes of the G1 / G2 light-emitting devices above the first power line 71, can reduce the capacitance between the second anode 120 (fourth node N4) and the data signal line 72, effectively preventing local watermarks (mura) caused by data voltage jumps, and improving display quality.

[0293] (21) Forming a pixel definition layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming a pixel definition layer may include: coating a pixel definition film on a substrate on which the aforementioned pattern is formed, and patterning the pixel definition film using a patterning process to form a pixel definition layer covering the anode conductive layer, as shown in FIG17.

The two data signal lines 72 may be substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the opening center line O1, and the two second connecting lines 82 may be substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the opening center line O1, which can effectively improve the flatness of the first anode and improve color shift.

[0297] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projections of the second pixel opening 220 and the fourth pixel opening 240 onto the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first power line 71 onto the substrate.

[0298] In an exemplary embodiment, the subsequent preparation process may include: first forming an organic light-emitting layer using vapor deposition or inkjet printing, then forming a cathode on the organic light-emitting layer, and subsequently forming an encapsulation structure layer. 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 ensure that external moisture cannot enter the light-emitting structure layer.

[0299] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a display substrate in which a first connection line is disposed between a first initial signal line and a second initial signal line. The first and second initial signal lines, which have constant potentials, can not only effectively shield the influence of data switching voltage in the first connection line on the pixel driving circuit and the coupling between the first connection line and other signal lines, but also shield the coupling between the first connection line and the fourth node. This can reduce the load on the first connection line and improve the display effect and display quality.

[0300] This embodiment of the present disclosure separates the first connection electrode from the data connection line by placing the first initial connection line between the first connection electrode and the data connection line in the Nth unit column and placing the second initial connection line between the first connection electrode and the data connection line in the N+1th unit column. This not only reduces the coupling between the first node N1 and the data connection line and improves crosstalk, but also reduces the impact of data switching voltage on the first node N1, improves the potential stability of the first node N1, and improves the display effect and display quality.

[0301] The embodiments disclosed herein reduce coupling between two adjacent second connection lines and improve crosstalk by setting a third connection electrode and a sixth connection electrode between them.

[0302] This embodiment of the disclosure, by setting a first initial connection line and a second initial connection line, forms a network connection structure for transmitting a first initial signal with the first initial signal line and the first initial connection line, and forms a network connection structure for transmitting a second initial signal with the second initial signal line and the second initial connection line, can not only effectively reduce the resistance of the initial signal line and reduce the voltage drop of the initial signal, but also effectively improve the uniformity of the initial signal in the display substrate, effectively improve display uniformity, and improve display quality and display performance.

[0303] This embodiment of the invention sets the anode of the R / B light-emitting device on the data signal line and the second connecting line, and the two data signal lines are substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the center line of the opening, and the two second connecting lines are substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the center line of the opening, which can effectively improve the flatness of the anode and improve color shift.

[0304] This embodiment of the invention, by setting the anode of the G light-emitting device above the first power line, can reduce the capacitance between the fourth node N4 and the data signal line, effectively preventing local watermarking caused by data voltage jumps.

[0305] This embodiment of the invention can effectively avoid the impact of data voltage jumps on the pixel driving circuit by setting multiple shielding electrodes, reduce the impact of data voltage jumps on the normal operation of the pixel driving circuit, and improve the display effect.

[0306] The preparation process of this disclosure is well compatible with existing preparation processes. The process is simple to implement, easy to carry out, has high production efficiency, low production cost, and high yield.

The first end of the first sub-line 61 can be located on the side of the second scan signal line 22 away from the second electrode 32, and connected to the first initial signal line 41 through a via, thus achieving the connection between the first initial signal line 41 and the first sub-line 61.

[0323] In an exemplary embodiment, the second end of the second sub-line 62 spanning the M-1th and Mth unit rows can be connected to the first end of the first sub-line 61 of the circuit unit through a via, and the first end of the second sub-line 62 spanning the Mth and M+1th unit rows can be connected to the second end of the first sub-line 61 of the circuit unit through a via. The interconnected first sub-line 61 and second sub-line 62 form a first initial connection line in the Nth unit column, and the first initial signal line 41 and the first initial connection line form a network connectivity structure for transmitting the first initial signal.

[0324] In an exemplary embodiment, in the first direction X, the fourth sub-line 64 may be disposed between the first power line 71 and the data signal line 72.

The first end of the fourth sub-line 64 spanning the Mth and M+1th unit rows can be connected to the second end of the third sub-line 63 of this circuit unit through a via.

This disclosure effectively increases the distance between the initial connection line and the data connection line by placing the initial connection line on the side of the first connection electrode away from the data connection line, which can effectively reduce the capacitance between the initial connection line and the data connection line and reduce the risk of watermarking.

[0327] (34) The second planarization layer and the anode conductive layer pattern are formed in sequence. The formation process and the structure of the formed second planarization layer and the anode conductive layer are basically the same as those in the previous embodiment. The difference is that the positions of the second sub-line and the fourth sub-line are different from those in the previous embodiment, as shown in Figure 22A and Figure 22B. Figure 22B is a planar schematic diagram of the anode conductive layer in Figure 22A.

[0328] In an exemplary embodiment, the anodic conductive layer in the display substrate includes at least a plurality of anodes, which may include at least a first anode 110, a second anode 120, a third anode 130, and a fourth anode 140.

This embodiment, by setting the first and third anode main bodies to overlap with four signal lines, can more effectively improve the flatness of the larger first and third anodes.

[0331] In an exemplary embodiment, the first anode body and the third anode body may have an anode centerline, which is a straight line passing through the geometric center of the first or third anode body and extending along the second direction Y. The two data signal lines 72 and the two second connecting lines 82 are substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the anode centerline. This embodiment, by setting a structure where the four signal lines are substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the anode centerline, not only effectively improves the flatness of the first and third anodes and reduces color shift, but also helps ensure the consistency of the electrical environment.

[0332] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projections of the second anode body portion and the fourth anode body portion onto the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first power line 71 onto the substrate.

The two data signal lines 72 may be substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the opening center line O1, and the two second connecting lines 82 may be substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to the opening center line O1, which can effectively improve the flatness of the first anode and improve color shift.

[0337] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projections of the second pixel opening 220 and the fourth pixel opening 240 onto the substrate at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first power line 71 onto the substrate.

[0338] This embodiment not only has the technical effects of the aforementioned embodiments, but also, by setting the node shielding electrode, as well as the shape and position of the first initial connection line and the second initial connection line, can further improve the stability of the potential of the first node N1 and further reduce the risk of watermarking.
