Therefore, the present disclosure is intended to cover the modifications and changes of the present disclosure that fall within the scope of the corresponding claims (technical solutions claimed) and equivalents thereof. It should be noted that, the implementations provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other if no conflict occurs.
[0051] The applicant of the present disclosure provides a solution to the problem existing in the prior art through careful and in-depth research.
[0052]
[0053] As shown in conjunction with
[0054] The light-emitting devices 30 may be any one of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a mini-light-emitting diode (mini-LED), and a micro-light-emitting diode (micro-LED).
[0055] As shown in
[0056] Second electrodes 32 of the plurality of light-emitting devices 30 are electrically connected to the first signal line L1 (not shown), the first signal line L1 can provide required signals to the second electrodes 32 of the plurality of light-emitting devices 30 at the same time. Optionally, the first signal line L1 may provide a supply voltage for the second electrode 32 of the light-emitting device 30. When the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting device 30 is an anode, the second electrode 32 of the light-emitting device 30 may be a cathode, and the first signal line L1 may provide a supply voltage VEE of a low potential for the second electrode 32 of the light-emitting device 30. In addition, when the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting device 30 is a cathode, the second electrode 32 of the light-emitting device 30 may be an anode, and the first signal line L1 may provide a supply voltage VDD of a high potential for the second electrode 32 of the light-emitting device 30.
[0057] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first signal line L1 includes first portions L11 and second portions L12 provided in different layers and electrically connected. The first portions L11 extend along a first direction X, and the second portions L12 extend along a second direction Y. The first direction X intersects the second direction Y. Optionally, the first direction X may be perpendicular to the second direction Y. It should be noted that, the first portions L11 extending along the first direction X means that an overall extension direction of the first portions L11 is the first direction X, and the first portions L11 may include bent parts; and the second portions L12 extending along the second direction Y means that an overall extension direction of the second portions L12 is the second direction Y, and the second portions L12 may include bent part.
[0058] The first signal line L1 may have a grid-like structure, and in the grid-like structure, at least a portion extending along the first direction X and at least a portion extending along the second direction Y may be located in different layers. That is to say, the signal line that provides the supply voltage for the second electrode 32 of the light-emitting device 30 may be a grid-like structure including portions located in different layers.
[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the first signal line L1 in a grid-like structure, it is possible to reduce the voltage drop of the first signal line L1.
[0060] If the portions of the first signal line L1 of the grid-like structure are in a same film layer, it is necessary to consider providing the grid-like structure in a separate conductive film layer to avoid the grid-like structure being short-circuited by other signal lines. That is, a new conductive film layer needs to be added, which will cause the panel thickness of the display panel 01 to increase and also the preparation cost and manufacturing process of the display panel 01 to increase.
[0061] Whereas, if the first portions L11 and the second portions L12 extending along different directions of the first signal line L1 are provided in different conductive film layers, the first portions L11 may be located in a same film layer as another conductive structure, and the second portions L12 may be located in a same film layer as another conductive structure, which may neither increase the thickness of the display panel 01 nor increase manufacturing process or cost.
[0062] In addition, since the first signal line L1 is electrically connected to the second electrode 32 of the light-emitting device 30, that is, the first signal line L1 is configured to transmit a substantially constant supply voltage, and the first portions L11 and the second portions L12 of the first signal line L1 are provided in different film layers, the performance of signal lines or functional devices in a same layer as and/or in a layer adjacent to the first portions L11 and the second portions L12, respectively, may not be substantially affected.
[0063]
[0064] As shown in
[0065] The data write transistor M1 has a first electrode electrically connected to a data line L2, a second electrode electrically connected to a first electrode of the drive transistor M0, and a gate electrically connected to a first scanning line S1. The threshold write transistor M2 has a first electrode electrically connected to a second electrode of the drive transistor MO, a second electrode electrically connected to a gate of the drive transistor M0, and a gate electrically connected to the first scanning line S1. The first reset transistor M3 has a first electrode electrically connected to a first reset line L4, a second electrode electrically connected to the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting device 30, and a gate electrically connected to a second scanning line S2. The second reset transistor M4 has a first electrode electrically connected to a second reset line L5, a second electrode electrically connected to the gate of the drive transistor M0, and a gate electrically connected to the second scanning line S2. The power supply write transistor M5 has a first electrode electrically connected to a supply voltage line L3, a second electrode electrically connected to the first electrode of the drive transistor M0, and a gate electrically connected to a third scanning line S3. The light-emitting control transistor M6 has a first electrode electrically connected to the second electrode of the drive transistor M0, a second electrode electrically connected to the first electrode of the light-emitting device 30, and a gate electrically connected to the third scanning line S3. The storage capacitor Cst has one electrode plate electrically connected to the supply voltage line L3 and the other electrode plate electrically connected to the gate of the drive transistor M0.
[0066] It should be noted that, the first electrodes of the first reset transistor M3 and the second reset transistor M4 may be electrically connected to different reset lines, respectively, or the first electrodes of the first reset transistor M3 and the second reset transistor M4 may be connected to a same reset line.
[0067] An operation cycle of the pixel circuit 20 includes a reset stage, a data writing stage, and a light-emitting stage. In the reset stage, the second scanning line S2 transmits an enable signal, the first reset transistor M3 and the second reset transistor M4 are turned on, and a reset voltage transmitted through the first reset line L4 and a reset voltage transmitted through the second reset line L5 are transmitted to the first electrode 31 of the light-emitting device 30 and the gate of the drive transistor MO, respectively. In the data writing stage, the first scanning line S1 transmits an enable signal, the data write transistor M1 and the threshold write transistor M2 are turned on, a data voltage transmitted through the data line L2 is transmitted to the gate of the drive transistor M0, and the storage capacitor Cst enables the gate of the drive transistor M0 to maintain the received data voltage. In the light-emitting stage, the third scanning line S3 transmits an enable signal, the supply voltage writing transistor M5 and the light-emitting control transistor M6 are turned on, and the first signal line L1 and the supply voltage line L3 transmit different supply voltages, enabling the drive transistor M0 to generate a drive current and the drive current flows through the light-emitting device 30.
[0068] In the pixel circuit 20 shown in
[0069] It should be noted that, the pixel circuit shown in
[0070] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second portions L12 of the first signal line L1 may be located on a side of the first portions L11 away from the substrate 10.
[0071]
[0072] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, as shown in
[0073] In the present technical solution, as shown in
[0074] As shown in
[0075]
[0076] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, the pixel circuit 20 includes a drive transistor M0 and a storage capacitor Cst. As shown in
[0077] In the technical solution, as shown in
[0078] As shown in
[0079]
[0080] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in conjunction with
[0081] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, as shown in
[0082]
[0083] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, as shown in
[0084]
[0085] In an implementation of the embodiment, in conjunction with
[0086] As shown in
[0087] When the second portion L12 of the first signal line L1 is located between the pixel circuits 20 arranged along the first direction X, a via between the second portion L12 and the first portion L11 that are electrically connected for achieving the electrical conduction therebetween may avoid the locations of the pixel circuits 20. This setting is easy to achieve and reduces the risk of a short circuit with another conductive structure.
[0088]
[0089] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in conjunction with
[0090] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, as shown in
[0091] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, as shown in
[0092]
[0093] In an implementation of the embodiment, as shown in
[0094] Optionally, as shown in
[0095]
[0096] Optionally, as shown in
[0097] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, although the second portion L12 of the first signal line L1 overlaps the pixel circuit 20 along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel, the via for achieving the electrical connection between the second portion L12 and the first portion L11 of the first signal line L1 may be provided outside a region of the pixel circuit 20. In this way, the difficulty of designing the via and the impact of the via on the design of the pixel circuit 20 are reduced.
[0098]
[0099] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in conjunction with
[0100] As such, the connection portion L13 may be considered as a transfer connection structure located between the first portion L11 and the second portion L12. When the first portion L11 and the second portion L12 are electrically connected through the transfer connection structure located between the film layer of the first portion L11 and the film layer of the second portion L12, it is possible to provide a conductive yield of a conductive structure in the via between the first portion L11 and the second portion L12 for achieving the electrical connection therebetween. In addition, the two ends of the connection portion L13 are respectively connected to the first portion L11 and the second portion L12, such that the via for achieving the connection between the first portion L11 and the connection portion L13 and the via for achieving the connection between the second portion L12 and the connection portion L13 are arranged in a more dispersed manner, avoiding a problem that the area of the vias is too large when the vias are required to penetrate through a larger number of film layers. This avoids the occurrence of the vias of too large area that are easily recognized by human eyes and prevents the vias of too large area from affecting the provision of other structures in the display panel 01.
[0101] In an implementation of the embodiment, an extension direction of the connection portion L13 is the same as an extension direction of the second portion L12, and the second portion L12 overlaps the connection portion L13 along a direction perpendicular to a plane of the display panel 01. That is, at least a portion of the connection portion L13 that is close to the second portion L12 is shielded by the second portion L12, and the shielded region extends along the extension direction of the connection portion L13, which avoids the connection portion L13 from excessively occupying the area of the plane of the display panel 01.
[0102] Optionally, the second portion L12 covers the connection portion L13 along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel 01. As such, the connection portion L13 is located on a side of the second portions L12 close to the substrate 10 and shielded by the first portion L12. This setting facilitates the achievement of the electrical connection between the connection portion L13 and the second portion L12 through the via, and the connection portion L13 does not additionally occupy the area of the plane of the display panel 01.
[0103]
[0104] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, as shown in
[0105] Since the manner of providing the conductive structure between the adjacent pixel circuits 20 is relatively simple, when the connection portion L13 is provided between the adjacent pixel circuits 20, it is easy to achieve the connection between the first portion L11 and the second portion L12.
[0106] It should be noted that, two data lines L2 being included between adjacent pixel circuits 20 arranged along the first direction X does not mean that the two data lines L2 do not overlap the pixel circuits 20, but means that the two data lines L2 both overlap a region between the above-mentioned adjacent pixel circuits 20. Certainly, the two data lines L2 may alternatively not overlap the pixel circuits 20.
[0107] In this technical solution, the second portion L12 of the first signal line L1 and the data lines L2 may be provided in a same layer, and the connection portion L13 is located on a side of the data lines L2 close to the substrate 10.
[0108]
[0109] As shown in
[0110] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the structure between the two data lines L2 located between the adjacent pixel circuits 20 is relatively simple, and especially, there are fewer vias. Therefore, when the connection portion L13 is located between the two data lines L2, it is easy for the connection portion L13 to be electrically connected to the first portion L11 and the second portion L12 through different vias.
[0111]
[0112] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, as shown in
[0113] Optionally, the first electrode 31 of at least one of the light-emitting devices 30 covers the connection portion L13 along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel 01. As shown in
[0114] In an implementation of this technical solution, as shown in
[0115] Optionally, as shown in
[0116] It should be noted that, the symmetry described above is symmetry within a process error range.
[0117] In addition, since at least a partial region of the connection portion L13 is covered by the first electrode 31 of the first light-emitting device and the connection portion L13 is located between the two data lines L2, when the connection portion L13 and the data lines L2 are provided in a same layer, a film layer for carrying the first electrode 31 between the first electrode 31 of the first light-emitting device and the connection portion L13 as well as the data line L2 is relatively flat below the first electrode 31. Therefore, it is possible for the first light-emitting device to have a relatively uniform morphology to ensure its light-emitting performance.
[0118]
[0119] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
[0120]
[0121] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, as shown in
[0122]
[0123] In an implementation, as shown in
[0124] In the implementation, the second portion L12 and the third portion L41 overlap different spacer regions 200, respectively, along a direction perpendicular to a plane of the display panel 01, that is, the second portion L12 and the third portion L41 are provided in different spacer regions 200, respectively.
[0125] When the second portions L12 and the third portions L41 are alternately provided along the first direction X, the number of the second portions L12 and the number of the third portions L41 are the same or differ by one or two. If two adjacent second portion L12 and third portion L41 are provided in a same spacer region 200, the width of the spacer region 200 is required to be larger, which is not conducive to achieving high resolution. In addition, with the alternate provision of the second portion L12 and the third portion L41 in different spacer regions 200, it is possible to ensure that the spacer regions 200 each have a small width. Meanwhile, it is possible to ensure that the number of the third portions L41 is sufficiently large, and in turn to make the reset line L4 have a smaller resistance and a signal transmitted therethrough has a small voltage drop.
[0126]
[0127] In an implementation, as shown in
[0128] If two adjacent second portion L12 and third portion L41 are provided compactly, for example, overlap a same pixel circuit 20, the total overlapping area between the pixel circuit 20 and the second portion L12 as well as the third portion L41 increases, which is not conducive to the achievement of the electrical connections between different transistors in the pixel circuit 20 and between the transistors and the signal lines and the like. By overlapping the second portion L12 and the third portion L41 with the pixel circuits 20 arranged along the first direction X, it is possible to avoid the excessive influence of the second portion L12 and the third portion L41 on the structure of the pixel circuits 20 to reduce the difficulty in designing the layout of the display panel.
[0129] It should be noted that, the gates of the data write transistor M1 and the threshold write transistor M2 in the pixel circuit 20 may be electrically connected to different scanning lines, respectively. For example, as shown in
[0130]
[0131] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, as shown in
[0132] For the manner in which the third portion L41 is electrically connected to the fourth portion L42, reference can be made to the manner in which the first portion L11 is electrically connected to the second portion L12. The two manners are the same. In addition, for the manner of provision of the third portion L41 and the fourth portion L42, reference can be made to the manner of provision of the first portion L11 and the second portion L12, which will not be further discussed herein.
[0133] In a technical solution corresponding to the embodiment, as shown in
[0134] In some embodiments, as shown in
[0135] In addition, the fifth portion L51 may be provided in a same layer and in a same direction as at least one of the fourth portion L42 and the first portions L11. The sixth portion L52 is provided in a same layer and in a same direction as at least one of the third portion L41 and the second portion L12. For example, as shown in
[0136] In some embodiments, as shown in
[0137] In addition,
[0138] In some embodiments, the first reset line L4 may be electrically connected to the first electrode of the second reset transistor M4 in the pixel circuit 20, and the second reset line L5 may be electrically connected to the first electrode of the first reset transistor M3 in the pixel circuit 20. As such, a reset signal line that transmits a reset voltage to the gate of the drive transistor M0 is the first reset line L4 including the third portions L41 extending along the second direction Y, and a reset signal line that transmits a reset voltage to the first electrode of the light-emitting device 30 is the second reset line L5 extending along the first direction X.
[0139]
[0140] A difference between
[0141] At least a part of the operation cycle of the pixel circuit 20 may also include a bias stage. In the bias stage, a fourth scanning line S4 electrically connected to a gate of the bias transistor M7 transmits an enable signal for controlling the bias transistor M7 to be turned on. The bias stage may be after the light-emitting stage. When one operation cycle of the pixel circuit 20 includes a plurality of light-emitting stages, the bias stage may fall between adjacent ones of the plurality of light-emitting stages.
[0142] It should be noted that,
[0143] In addition, the gate of the first reset transistor M3 may be electrically connected to a same scanning line as the gate of the bias transistor M7. For example, both are electrically connected to the fourth scanning line S4.
[0144]
[0145] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in conjunction with
[0146] The fourth scanning line S4 electrically connected to the gate of the bias transistor M7 may be provided in a same layer as the first scanning line S1, the second scanning line S2, and the third scanning line S3.
[0147] The second portion L12 of the first signal line L1 may be provided in a same layer as the data line L2. As such, the second signal line L6 may be provided in the same layer as the data line L2.
[0148] In addition, the second portion L12 of the first signal line L1 may be provided in a same layer as the third portion L41 of the first reset line L4. As such, the second signal line L6 may be provided in a same layer as the third portion L41 of the first reset line L4. At this time, the conductive film layer of the second portion L12 of the first signal line L1 is provided with a higher number of types of signal lines. To make the design of the signal lines in the conductive film layer less difficult and the interference between different signal lines less, the data line L2 and the supply voltage line L3 may be provided in a conductive film layer different from the foregoing conductive film layer. For example, as shown in
[0149] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first electrode plate of the storage capacitor Cst is provided in a same layer as the gate of the drive transistor M0. As such, the gate of the drive transistor M0 may be considered as a part of the first electrode plate. The storage capacitor Cst is configured to maintain a potential of the gate of the drive transistor M0. A change in the potential of the gate of the drive transistor M0 will seriously affect a light-emitting drive current output by the pixel circuit 20. By maintaining the stability of the potential of the gate of the drive transistor M0, it is possible to improve the driving performance of the pixel circuit 20.
[0150]
[0151] As shown in
[0152] It can be seen that a change in a potential of the first node N1 may directly affect a potential of the gate of the drive transistor M0 through the conductive line CL. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the display panel further includes a first isolation electrode GE1. The first isolation electrode GE1 covers the first node N1 along a direction perpendicular to a plane of the display panel, to shield the influence of other signal lines on the potential of the first node N1 and in turn to alleviate a floating problem of the potential of the gate of the drive transistor M0.
[0153] In the embodiment, the first isolation electrode GE1 may be located between the film layer of the data line L2 and a film layer of the gate of the drive transistor M0, or the first isolation electrode GE1 and the data line L2 are located in a same film layer. The first isolation electrode GE1 may be electrically connected to the supply voltage line L3 to obtain a constant potential and in turn to achieve a shielding effect.
[0154] In some embodiments, as shown in
[0155] In some embodiments, as shown in
[0156] The first isolation electrode GE1 is located between the film layer of the data line L2 and the film layer of the gate of the drive transistor M0, or the isolation electrode GE1 and the data line L2 are located in a same film layer.
[0157]
[0158] As shown in
[0159] The second isolation electrode GE2 may be provided in a same layer as the first portion L11 of the first signal line L1. In addition, the second isolation electrode GE2 may also be electrically connected to the supply voltage line L3 through a via.
[0160]
[0161] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display apparatus. As shown in
[0162] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first signal line L1 in the display apparatus 02 is of a grid-like structure. Therefore, a signal transmitted through the first signal line L1 has a small voltage drop. By providing the first portion L11 and the second portion L12 extending along different directions of the first signal line L1 in different conductive film layers, it is possible for the first portion L11 to be located in a same film layer as another conductive structure, and it is possible for the second portion L12 to be located in a same film layer as another conductive structure, which may neither increase the thickness of the display panel 01 nor increase manufacturing process or cost. In addition, since the first signal line L1 is electrically connected to the second electrode 32 of the light-emitting device 30, that is, the first signal line L1 is configured to transmit a substantially constant supply voltage, when the first portion L11 and the second portion L12 of the first signal line L1 are provided in different film layers, the performance of signal lines or functional devices in a same layer as and/or in a layer adjacent to the first portions L11 and the second portions L12, respectively, may not be substantially affected.
[0163] The above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
