下面将结合附图对本公开的实施例进行详细说明。实施方式可以以多个不同形式来实施。所属技术领域的普通技术人员可以很容易地理解一个事实,就是方式和内容可以在不脱离本公开的宗旨及其范围的条件下被变换为其他形式。因此,本公开不应该被解释为仅限定在下面的实施方式所记载的内容中。在不冲突的情况下,本公开中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
在附图中,有时为了明确起见,夸大表示了一个或多个构成要素的大小、层的厚度或区域。因此,本公开的一个方式并不一定限定于该尺寸,附图中一个或多个部件的形状和大小不反映真实比例。此外,附图示意性地示出了理想的例子,本公开的一个方式不局限于附图所示的形状或数值等。
本说明书中的“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等序数词是为了避免构成要素的混同而设置,而不是为了在数量方面上进行限定的。本公开中的“多个”表示两个及以上的数量。
在本说明书中,为了方便起见,使用“中部”、“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“竖直”、“水平”、“顶”、“底”、“内”、“外”等指示方位或位置关系的词句以参照附图说明构成要素的位置关系,仅是为了便于描述本说明书和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本公开的限制。构成 要素的位置关系根据描述的构成要素的方向适当地改变。因此,不局限于在说明书中说明的词句,根据情况可以适当地更换。
在本说明书中,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解。例如,可以是固定连接,或可拆卸连接,或一体地连接;可以是机械连接,或连接;可以是直接相连,或通过中间件间接相连,或两个元件内部的连通。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以根据情况理解上述术语在本公开中的含义。
在本说明书中,“电连接”包括构成要素通过具有某种电作用的元件连接在一起的情况。“具有某种电作用的元件”只要可以进行连接的构成要素间的电信号的传输,就对其没有特别的限制。“具有某种电作用的元件”的例子不仅包括电极和布线,而且还包括晶体管等开关元件、电阻器、电感器、电容器、其它具有多种功能的元件等。
在本说明书中,晶体管是指至少包括栅极、漏极以及源极这三个端子的元件。晶体管在漏极(漏电极端子、漏区域或漏电极)与源极(源电极端子、源区域或源电极)之间具有沟道区域,并且电流能够流过漏极、沟道区域以及源极。在本说明书中,沟道区域是指电流主要流过的区域。
在本说明书中,第一极可以为漏极、第二极可以为源极,或者第一极可以为源极、第二极可以为漏极。在使用极性相反的晶体管的情况或电路工作中的电流方向变化的情况等下,“源极”及“漏极”的功能有时互相调换。因此,在本说明书中,“源极”和“漏极”可以互相调换。另外,栅极还可以称为控制极。
在本说明书中,“平行”是指两条直线形成的角度为-10°以上且10°以下的状态,因此,也包括该角度为-5°以上且5°以下的状态。另外,“垂直”是指两条直线形成的角度为80°以上且100°以下的状态,因此,也包括85°以上且95°以下的角度的状态。
本公开中的“光透过率”指的是光线透过介质的能力,是透过透明或半透明体的光通量与其入射光通量的百分率。
本公开中的“约”、“大致”,是指不严格限定界限,允许工艺和测量 误差范围内的情况。在本公开中,“大致相同”是指数值相差10%以内的情况。
本实施例提供一种显示基板,包括:衬底基板、多个像素电路和多个发光元件。衬底基板包括第一显示区和第二显示区,第一显示区位于第二显示区的至少一侧。多个像素电路包括位于第一显示区的多个第一像素电路和多个第二像素电路。多个发光元件包括位于第一显示区的多个第一发光元件和位于第二显示区的多个第二发光元件。多个第一像素电路中的至少一个第一像素电路与多个第一发光元件中的至少一个第一发光元件电连接,所述至少一个第一像素电路被配置为驱动所述至少一个第一发光元件发光。多个第二像素电路中的至少一个第二像素电路与多个第二发光元件中的至少一个第二发光元件电连接,所述至少一个第二像素电路被配置为驱动所述至少一个第二发光元件发光。第一显示区包括:在第一方向沿着远离第二显示区的一侧依次排布的第一个第一子显示区至第N个第一子显示区,其中,N为大于1的整数。第二显示区包括至少一个第二子显示区,所述第二子显示区的第二发光元件与第n个第一子显示区的第二像素电路电连接,第n个第一子显示区的第一发光元件与第n+i个第一子显示区的第一像素电路电连接,其中,n和i均为大于0且小于N的整数。例如,i可以为1或2等。在本示例中,第n个第一子显示区位于第n+1个第一子显示区靠近第二显示区的一侧。
在一些示例中,第二显示区可以仅包括一个第二子显示区。或者,第二显示区可以包括多个第二子显示区。例如,多个第二子显示区可以在第一方向沿着远离第一子显示区的一侧依次排布。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
本实施例提供的显示基板,对第一显示区和第二显示区进行分区,第二显示区的第二子显示区的第二发光元件与第一显示区的一个第一子显示区的第二像素电路电连接,且所述第一子显示区的第一发光元件与另一个第一子显示区内的第一像素电路电连接,从而实现不同分区内的像素电路和发光元件的错位连接。本实施例可以减小电连接第二发光元件和第二像素电路的导电线的长度差异。导电线的长度会决定导电线与其他信号走线的交叠面积大小,从而影响寄生电容的大小,而寄生电容差异大会导致画面显示不均一。本实施例通过不同分区内的像素电路和发光元件的错位连接,来减小导电线 的长度差异,从而改善显示画面均匀度不佳的情况,提升显示均一性,实现更均匀的全面屏视觉显示效果。
在一些示例性实施方式中,至少一个第一像素电路与至少一个第一发光元件可以通过第一导电线电连接,至少一个第二像素电路与至少一个第二发光元件可以通过第二导电线电连接。例如,第一导电线和第二导电线可以均为透明导电线。第一导电线和第二导电线可以采用透明导电材料(例如,氧化铟锡(ITO))制备。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。在另一些示例中,第一导电线可以为非透明导电线,第二导电线可以为透明导电线。例如,第一导电线可以采用金属材料制备,第二导电线可以采用透明导电材料(例如,ITO)制备。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第n+i个第一子显示区的第一发光元件可以与第n+i+j个第一子显示区的第一像素电路电连接,其中,j为大于0且小于N的整数。在本示例中,第一显示区的第一子显示区的第一发光元件可以与其他第一子显示区的第一像素电路进行错位连接,以支持将第二像素电路设置在第二显示区的附近或周围,从而改善电连接第二像素电路和第二发光元件的第二导电线的长度差异过大的情况。
在一些示例中,j可以等于i。比如,i和j可以均为1或2。例如,第n+i个第一子显示区的第一发光元件可以与第n+2×i个第一子显示区的第一像素电路电连接,第n+2×i个第一子显示区的第一发光元件可以与第n+3×i个第一子显示区的第一像素电路电连接。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如,j可以不同于i。比如,i可以为2,j可以为1。
在一些示例性实施方式中,至少一个第一子显示区内的至少一个像素电路所电连接的第一导电线或第二导电线与至少一个第一发光元件所电连接的第一导电线可以为异层结构。在本公开中,A和B为异层结构表示A和B位于不同的导电层。如此一来,可以避免不同导电线之间相互干扰。在一些示例中,电连接第二子显示区的第二发光元件和第n个第一子显示区的第二像素电路的第二导电线,与电连接第n个第一子显示区的第一发光元件和第n+i个第一子显示区的第一像素电路的第一导电线可以为异层结构。在一些示例中,电连接第n+i个第一子显示区的第一发光元件和第n+i+j个第一子 显示区的第一像素电路的第一导电线,与电连接第n个第一子显示区的第一发光元件和第n+i个第一子显示区的第一像素电路的第一导电线可以为异层结构。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第n个第一子显示区的像素电路可以均为第二像素电路。在本示例中,通过将第二像素电路集中设置在第二显示区的附近,可以有利于减小电连接第二发光元件和第二像素电路的第二导电线的长度。
在一些示例性实施方式中,至少一个第一子显示区内的像素电路的数目可以大于第一发光元件的数目。在一些示例中,通过对第一显示区内的像素电路进行压缩来形成设置第二像素电路的空间,因此,第一显示区内的像素电路的数目大于第一发光元件的数目。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第n个第一子显示区的像素电路的数目可以大于或等于第n+1个第一子显示区的像素电路的数目,第n个第一子显示区的第一发光元件的数目可以大于或等于第n+1个第一子显示区的第一发光元件的数目。在一些示例中,在第一方向沿着远离第二显示区的一侧,多个第一子显示区内的像素电路的数目可以逐渐减少,第一发光元件的数目也可以逐渐减小。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第二子显示区内靠近第n个第一显示区的第二发光元件可以与第n个第一子显示区内靠近第二子显示区的第二像素电路电连接,第二子显示区内远离第n个第一子显示区的第二发光元件可以与第n个第一子显示区内远离第二子显示区的第二像素电路电连接。本示例提供的相应区域内的第二发光元件和第二像素电路的连接方式,有助于排布导电线,减少因导电线交叠而引起相互干扰的情况。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第一显示区的多个像素电路可以阵列排布,第一方向可以为像素电路的行方向。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如,第一方向可以为像素电路的列方向,或者可以为与行方向交叉的方向,或者,可以为与列方向交叉的方向。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第二显示区可以包括:在第一方向沿着远离 第一子显示区的一侧依次排布的第M个第二子显示区至第一个第二子显示区。其中,M为大于1且小于N的整数。第m个第二子显示区内的第二发光元件电连接的第二像素电路所在的第一子显示区,可以位于第m+1个第二子显示区内的第二发光元件电连接的第二像素电路所在的第一子显示区靠近所述第二显示区的一侧,m为大于0且小于M的整数。在本示例中,远离第一显示区的第二子显示区内的第二发光元件可以与靠近第二显示区的第一子显示区内的第二像素电路电连接,靠近第一显示区的第二子显示区内的第二发光元件可以与远离第二显示区的第一子显示区内的第二像素电路电连接。如此一来,可以有助于减小电连接第二发光元件和第二像素电路的第二导电线之间的长度差异。在一些示例中,整个第二显示区可以被划分为多个第二子显示区,或者,第二显示区的一部分可以被划分为多个第二子显示区。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在一些示例性实施方式中,相邻第二子显示区内的第二发光元件电连接的第二导电线可以位于不同导电层,相邻第一子显示区内的第一发光元件电连接的第一导电线可以位于不同导电层。如此一来,可以减少由于导电线交叠而相互干扰的情况。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第二子显示区内的多个第二发光元件电连接的第二导电线可以为同层结构。或者,第二子显示区内在第一方向上相邻的第二发光元件电连接的第二导电线可以为异层结构。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。在另一些示例中,第二发光元件电连接的第二导电线可以由多个导电线段连接形成,且相邻导电线段可以位于不同的导电层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第一显示区还可以包括:在第二方向沿着远离第二显示区的一侧依次排布的第一个第三子显示区至第H个第三子显示区,其中,H为大于1的整数。第二显示区还可以包括:至少一个第四子显示区,第四子显示区的第二发光元件与第h个第三子显示区的第二像素电路电连接,第h个第三子显示区的第一发光元件与第h+s个第三子显示区的第一像素电路电连接,其中,h和s均为大于0且小于H的整数。比如,h和s可以均为1,或者,h可以为1,s可以为2。在一些示例中,第二方向可以与第一方向平行,或者,第二方向可以与第一方向交叉。本示例通过在第一方向和第二 方向对第一显示区和第二显示区划分多个分区,并在多个分区进行发光元件和像素电路的错位连接,有利于减小电连接第二发光元件和第二像素电路的导电线的长度差异。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第一显示区还可以包括:在第三方向沿着远离第二显示区的一侧依次排布的第一个第五子显示区至第R个第五子显示区,其中,R为大于1的整数。第二显示区还可以包括:至少一个第六子显示区。第六子显示区的第二发光元件与第r个第五子显示区的第二像素电路电连接,第r个第五子显示区的第一发光元件与第r+k个第五子显示区的第一像素电路电连接,其中,r和k均为大于0且小于R的整数。比如,r和k可以均为1,或者,r可以为1,k可以为2。在一些示例中,第三方向可以与第一方向或第二方向平行,或者,第三方向可以与第一方向交叉,或者,第三方向可以与第二方向交叉。本示例可以通过在多个对第一显示区和第二显示区划分多个分区,并在多个分区进行发光元件和像素电路的错位连接,有利于减小电连接第二发光元件和第二像素电路的导电线的长度差异。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第一显示区还可以包括:在第四方向沿着远离第二显示区的一侧依次排布的第一个第七子显示区至第G个第七子显示区,其中,G为大于1的整数。第二显示区还可以包括:至少一个第八子显示区。第八子显示区的第二发光元件与第g个第七子显示区的第二像素电路电连接,第g个第七子显示区的第一发光元件与第g+d个第七子显示区的第一像素电路电连接。其中,g和d均为大于0且小于G的整数。比如,g和d可以均为1,或者,g可以为1,d可以为2。在一些示例中,第四方向可以与第一方向、第二方向或第三方向平行;或者,第四方向可以与第一方向、第二方向或第三方向交叉。本示例可以通过多个方向对第一显示区和第二显示区划分多个分区,并在多个分区进行发光元件和像素电路的错位连接,有利于减小电连接第二发光元件和第二像素电路的导电线的长度差异。
在一些示例中,N、H、R和G可以相同;或者,N、H、R和G中的至少两个可以相同;或者,N、H、R和G可以各不相同。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在一些示例中,i、s、k和d可以相同,或者,i、s、k和d中的至少两 个可以相同,或者,i、s、k和d可以各不相同。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
下面通过一些示例对本实施例的方案进行举例说明。
图1为本公开至少一实施例的显示基板的示意图。在一些示例性实施方式中,如图1所示,显示基板可以包括:显示区域AA和围绕在显示区域AA***的周边区域BB。显示基板的显示区域AA可以包括:第一显示区A1和第二显示区A2,第一显示区A1位于第二显示区A2的至少一侧。例如,第一显示区A1可以围绕在第二显示区A2的四周。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如,第一显示区A1可以部分围绕第二显示区A2。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图1所示,第二显示区A2为透光显示区,还可以称为屏下摄像头(UDC,Under Display Camera)区域;第一显示区A1为非透光显示区,还可以称为正常显示区。例如,感光传感器(如,摄像头等硬件)在显示基板上的正投影可以位于显示基板的第二显示区A2内。在一些示例中,如图1所示,第二显示区A2可以为圆形,感光传感器在显示基板上的正投影的尺寸可以小于或等于第二显示区A2的尺寸。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。在另一些示例中,第二显示区A2可以为矩形,感光传感器在显示基板上的正投影的尺寸可以小于或等于第二显示区A2的内切圆的尺寸。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图1所示,第二显示区A2可以位于显示区域AA的顶部正中间位置。第一显示区A1可以围绕在第二显示区A2的四周。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如,第二显示区A2可以位于显示区域AA的左上角或者右上角等其他位置。例如,第一显示区A1可以围绕在第二显示区A2的至少一侧。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图1所示,显示区域AA可以为矩形,例如圆角矩形。第二显示区A2可以为圆形或椭圆形。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如,第二显示区A2可以为矩形、半圆形、五边形等其他形状。
在一些示例性实施方式中,显示区域AA可以设置有多个子像素。至少一个子像素可以包括像素电路和发光元件。像素电路可以配置为驱动所连接的发光元件。例如,像素电路可以配置为提供驱动电流以驱动发光元件发光。 像素电路可以包括多个晶体管和至少一个电容,例如,像素电路可以为3T1C(即3个晶体管和1个电容)结构、7T1C(即7个晶体管和1个电容)结构、5T1C(即5个晶体管和1个电容)结构、8T1C(即8个晶体管和1个电容)结构或者8T2C(即8个晶体管和2个电容)结构等。在一些示例中,发光元件可以为有机发光二极管(OLED),发光元件在其对应的像素电路的驱动下发出红光、绿光、蓝光、或者白光等。发光元件发光的颜色可根据需要而定。在一些示例中,发光元件可以包括:阳极、阴极以及位于阳极和阴极之间的有机发光层。发光元件的阳极可以与对应的像素电路电连接。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在一些示例性实施方式中,显示区域AA的一个像素单元可以包括三个子像素,三个子像素可以分别为红色子像素、绿色子像素和蓝色子像素。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。在一些示例中,一个像素单元可以包括四个子像素,四个子像素可以分别为红色子像素、绿色子像素、蓝色子像素和白色子像素。
在一些示例性实施方式中,发光元件的形状可以是矩形、菱形、五边形或六边形。一个像素单元包括三个子像素时,三个子像素的发光元件可以采用水平并列、竖直并列或品字方式排列;一个像素单元包括四个子像素时,四个子像素的发光元件可以采用水平并列、竖直并列或正方形方式排列。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
图2为本公开至少一实施例的像素电路的等效电路图。图3为图2提供的像素电路的工作时序图。本示例性实施例的像素电路以7T1C结构为例进行说明。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图2所示,本示例的像素电路可以包括六个开关晶体管(T1、T2、T4至T7)、一个驱动晶体管T3和一个存储电容Cst。六个开关晶体管分别为数据写入晶体管T4、阈值补偿晶体管T2、第一发光控制晶体管T5、第二发光控制晶体管T6、第一复位晶体管T1、以及第二复位晶体管T7。发光元件EL可以包括阳极、阴极和设置在阳极和阴极之间的有机发光层。
在一些示例性实施方式中,驱动晶体管和六个开关晶体管可以是P型晶 体管,或者可以是N型晶体管。像素电路中采用相同类型的晶体管可以简化工艺流程,减少显示基板的工艺难度,提高产品的良率。在一些可能的实现方式中,驱动晶体管和六个开关晶体管可以包括P型晶体管和N型晶体管。
在一些示例性实施方式中,驱动晶体管和六个开关晶体管可以采用低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管,或者可以采用氧化物薄膜晶体管,或者可以采用低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管和氧化物薄膜晶体管。低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管的有源层采用低温多晶硅(LTPS,Low Temperature Poly-Silicon),氧化物薄膜晶体管的有源层采用氧化物半导体(Oxide)。低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管具有迁移率高、充电快等优点,氧化物薄膜晶体管具有漏电流低等优点,将低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管和氧化物薄膜晶体管集成在一个显示基板上,形成低温多晶氧化物(LTPO,Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide)显示基板,可以利用两者的优势,可以实现低频驱动,可以降低功耗,可以提高显示品质。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图2所示,显示基板可以包括扫描线GL、数据线DL、第一电源线PL1、第二电源线PL2、发光控制线EML、第一初始信号线INIT1、第二初始信号线INIT2、第一复位控制线RST1和第二复位控制线RST2。在一些示例中,第一电源线PL1可以配置为向像素电路提供恒定的第一电压信号VDD,第二电源线PL2可以配置为向像素电路提供恒定的第二电压信号VSS,并且第一电压信号VDD大于第二电压信号VSS。扫描线GL可以配置为向像素电路提供扫描信号SCAN,数据线DL可以配置为向像素电路提供数据信号DATA,发光控制线EML可以配置为向像素电路提供发光控制信号EM,第一复位控制线RST1可以配置为向像素电路提供第一复位控制信号RESET1,第二复位控制线RST2可以配置为向像素电路提供第二复位控制信号RESET2。在一些示例中,在第z行像素电路中,第一复位控制线RST1可以与第z-1行像素电路的扫描线GL电连接,以被输入扫描信号SCAN(z-1),即第一复位控制信号RESET1(z)与扫描信号SCAN(z-1)相同。第二复位控制线RST2可以与第z行像素电路的扫描线GL电连接,以被输入扫描信号SCAN(z),即第二复位控制信号RESET2(z)与扫描信号SCAN(z)相同。在一些示例中,第z行像素电路所电连接的第二复位控制线RST2与第z+1行像素电路所电连接的第一复位控制线 RST1可以为一体结构。其中,z为大于0的整数。如此,可以减少显示基板的信号线,实现显示基板的窄边框设计。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在一些示例性实施方式中,第一初始信号线INIT1可以配置为向像素电路提供第一初始信号,第二初始信号线INIT2可以配置为向像素电路提供第二初始信号。例如,第一初始信号可以不同于第二初始信号。第一初始信号和第二初始信号可以为恒压信号,其大小例如可以介于第一电压信号VDD和第二电压信号VSS之间,但不限于此。在另一些示例中,第一初始信号与第二初始信号可以相同,可以仅设置第一初始信号线来提供第一初始信号。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图2所示,驱动晶体管T3与发光元件EL电连接,并在扫描信号SCAN、数据信号DATA、第一电压信号VDD、第二电压信号VSS等信号的控制下输出驱动电流以驱动发光元件EL发光。数据写入晶体管T4的栅极与扫描线GL电连接,数据写入晶体管T4的第一极与数据线DL电连接,数据写入晶体管T4的第二极与驱动晶体管T3的第一极电连接。阈值补偿晶体管T2的栅极与扫描线GL电连接,阈值补偿晶体管T2的第一极与驱动晶体管T3的栅极电连接,阈值补偿晶体管T2的第二极与驱动晶体管T3的第二极电连接。第一发光控制晶体管T5的栅极与发光控制线EML电连接,第一发光控制晶体管T5的第一极与第一电源线PL1电连接,第一发光控制晶体管T5的第二极与驱动晶体管T3的第一极电连接。第二发光控制晶体管T6的栅极与发光控制线EML电连接,第二发光控制晶体管T6的第一极与驱动晶体管T3的第二极电连接,第二发光控制晶体管T6的第二极与发光元件EL的阳极电连接。第一复位晶体管T1与驱动晶体管T3的栅极电连接,并配置为对驱动晶体管T3的栅极进行复位,第二复位晶体管T7与发光元件EL的阳极电连接,并配置为对发光元件EL的阳极进行复位。第一复位晶体管T1的栅极与第一复位控制线RST1电连接,第一复位晶体管T1的第一极与第一初始信号线INIT1电连接,第一复位晶体管T1的第二极与驱动晶体管T3的栅极电连接。第二复位晶体管T7的栅极与第二复位控制线RST2电连接,第二复位晶体管T7的第一极与第二初始信号线INIT2电连接,第二复位晶体管T7的第二极与发光元件EL的阳极电连接。存储电容Cst的第一电容极板与驱动晶体管T3的栅极电连接,存储电容Cst 的第二电容极板与第一电源线PL1电连接。
在本示例中,第一节点N1为存储电容Cst、第一复位晶体管T1、驱动晶体管T3和阈值补偿晶体管T2的连接点,第二节点N2为第一发光控制晶体管T5、数据写入晶体管T4和驱动晶体管T3的连接点,第三节点N3为驱动晶体管T3、阈值补偿晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T6的连接点,第四节点N4为第二发光控制晶体管T6、第二复位晶体管T7和发光元件EL的连接点。
下面参照图3对图2示意的像素电路的工作过程进行说明。以图2所示的像素电路包括的多个晶体管均为P型晶体管为例进行说明。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图3所示,在一帧显示时间段,像素电路的工作过程可以包括:第一阶段S1、第二阶段S2和第三阶段S3。
第一阶段S1,称为复位阶段。第一复位控制线RST1提供的第一复位控制信号RESET1为低电平信号,使第一复位晶体管T1导通,第一初始信号线INIT1提供的第一初始信号被提供至第一节点N1,对第一节点N1进行初始化,清除存储电容Cst中原有数据电压。扫描线GL提供的扫描信号SCAN为高电平信号,发光控制线EML提供的发光控制信号EM为高电平信号,使数据写入晶体管T4、阈值补偿晶体管T2、第一发光控制晶体管T5、第二发光控制晶体管T6以及第二复位晶体管T7断开。此阶段发光元件EL不发光。
第二阶段S2,称为数据写入阶段或者阈值补偿阶段。扫描线GL提供的扫描信号SCAN为低电平信号,第一复位控制线RST1提供的第一复位控制信号RESET1和发光控制线EML提供的发光控制信号EM均为高电平信号,数据线DL输出数据信号DATA。此阶段由于存储电容Cst的第一电容极板为低电平,因此,驱动晶体管T3导通。扫描信号SCAN为低电平信号,使阈值补偿晶体管T2、数据写入晶体管T4和第二复位晶体管T7导通。阈值补偿晶体管T2和数据写入晶体管T4导通,使得数据线DL输出的数据电压Vdata经过第二节点N2、导通的驱动晶体管T3、第三节点N3、导通的阈值补偿晶体管T2提供至第一节点N1,并将数据线DL输出的数据电压Vdata与驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压之差充入存储电容Cst,存储电容Cst的第一电 容极板(即第一节点N1)的电压为Vdata-|Vth|,其中,Vdata为数据线DL输出的数据电压,Vth为驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压。第二复位晶体管T7导通,使得第二初始信号线INIT2提供的第二初始信号提供至发光元件EL的阳极,对发光元件EL的阳极进行初始化(复位),清空其内部的预存电压,完成初始化,确保发光元件EL不发光。第一复位控制线RST1提供的第一复位控制信号RESET1为高电平信号,使第一复位晶体管T1断开。发光控制信号线EML提供的发光控制信号EM为高电平信号,使第一发光控制晶体管T5和第二发光控制晶体管T6断开。
第三阶段S3,称为发光阶段。发光控制信号线EML提供的发光控制信号EM为低电平信号,扫描线GL提供的扫描信号SCAN和第一复位控制线RST1提供的第一复位控制信号RESET1为高电平信号。发光控制信号线EML提供的发光控制信号EM为低电平信号,使第一发光控制晶体管T5和第二发光控制晶体管T6导通,第一电源线PL1输出的第一电压信号VDD通过导通的第一发光控制晶体管T5、驱动晶体管T3和第二发光控制晶体管T6向发光元件EL的阳极提供驱动电压,驱动发光元件EL发光。
在像素电路驱动过程中,流过驱动晶体管T3的驱动电流由其栅极和第一极之间的电压差决定。由于第一节点N1的电压为Vdata-|Vth|,因而驱动晶体管T3的驱动电流为:
I=K×(Vgs-Vth)
2=K×[(VDD-Vdata+|Vth|)-Vth]
2=K×[VDD-Vdata]
2。
其中,I为流过驱动晶体管T3的驱动电流,也就是驱动发光元件EL的驱动电流,K为常数,Vgs为驱动晶体管T3的栅极和第一极之间的电压差,Vth为驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压,Vdata为数据线DL输出的数据电压,VDD为第一电源线PL1输出的第一电压信号。
由上式中可以看到流经发光元件EL的电流与驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压无关。因此,本实施例的像素电路可以较好地补偿驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压。

在一些示例性实施例中,如图4至图6D所示,显示基板的第三绝缘层103开设有多个过孔,例如包括第一过孔V1至第十五过孔V15。其中,第一过孔V1至第八过孔V6内的第三绝缘层103、第二绝缘层102和第一绝缘层101被去掉,暴露出半导体层10的表面。第九过孔V9内的第三绝缘层103和第二绝缘层102被去掉,暴露出第一导电层11的表面。第十过孔V10至第十五过孔V15内的第三绝缘层103被去掉,暴露出第二导电层12的表面。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图4至图6D所示,显示基板的第三导电层13可以包括:数据线DL、第一电源线PL1以及多个连接电极(例如,第 一连接电极CP1至第六连接电极CP6)。数据线DL可以通过第三过孔V3与数据写入晶体管T4的有源层T40的第一掺杂区电连接。第一电源线PL1可以通过第十二过孔V12与屏蔽电极BK电连接,还可以通过第十三过孔V13与存储电容Cst的第二电极Cst-2电连接。屏蔽电极BK配置为屏蔽数据电压跳变对关键节点的影响,避免数据电压跳变影响像素电路的关键节点的电位,提高显示效果。第一连接电极CP1可以通过第一过孔V1与第一复位晶体管T1的有源层T10的第一掺杂区电连接,还可以通过第十过孔V10与第一初始信号线INIT1a电连接。第二连接电极CP2可以通过第二过孔V2与阈值补偿晶体管T2的有源层T20的第一掺杂区电连接,还可以通过第九过孔V9与驱动晶体管T3的控制极T31电连接。第三连接电极CP3可以通过第五过孔V5与第二发光控制晶体管T6的有源层T60的第二掺杂区电连接。第四连接电极CP4可以通过第六过孔V6与第二复位晶体管T7的有源层T70的第一掺杂区电连接,还可以通过第十五过孔V15与第二初始信号线INIT2b电连接。第五连接电极CP5可以通过第七过孔V7与上一行像素电路的第二复位晶体管的有源层的第一掺杂区电连接,还可以通过第十一过孔V11与第二初始信号线INIT2a电连接。第六连接电极CP6可以通过第八过孔V8与下一行像素电路的第一复位晶体管的有源层的第一掺杂区电连接,还可以通过第十四过孔V14与第一初始信号线INIT1b电连接。
上述仅为像素电路的俯视图的一种示例。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图1所示,第一显示区A1可以设置有多个第一发光元件21和多个像素电路,第二显示区A2可以设置有多个第二发光元件22。多个像素电路可以包括:多个第一像素电路31、多个第二像素电路32和多个无效像素电路。至少一个第一像素电路31与至少一个第一发光元件21可以通过第一导电线L1电连接,至少一个第一像素电路31被配置为驱动至少一个第一发光元件21发光。至少一个第二像素电路32与至少一个第二发光元件22可以通过第二导电线L2电连接,至少一个第二像素电路32被配置为驱动至少一个第二发光元件22发光。设置无效像素电路可以利于提高多个膜层的部件在刻蚀工艺中的均一性。例如,无效像素电路与其所在行或所在列的第一像素电路31和第二像素电路32的结构相同,只是其不 与任何发光元件相连。在本示例中,第一显示区A1的光透过率小于第二显示区A2的光透过率。仅在第一显示区A1设置像素电路,第二显示区A2不设置像素电路,可以提高第二显示区A2的光透过率。
在一些示例中,为了提高显示效果,第二显示区A2的第二发光元件22的密度可以小于或等于第一显示区A1的第一发光元件21的密度。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在一些示例中,第一显示区A1的分辨率可以小于或等于第二显示区A2的分辨率。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
图7为本公开至少一实施例的第一显示区的局部示意图。图7中以第一显示区A1的若干第一发光元件21和像素电路30为例进行示意。在本示例中,沿行方向X依次排布的多个像素电路可以称为一行像素电路,沿列方向Y依次排布的多个像素电路可以称为一列像素电路。行方向X与列方向Y交叉,例如,行方向X可以垂直于列方向Y。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图1和图7所示,由于第一显示区A1不仅设置有与第一发光元件21电连接的第一像素电路31,还设置有与第二发光元件22电连接的第二像素电路32,因此,第一显示区A1的像素电路30的数目大于第一发光元件21的数目。在本示例中,通过减小第一像素电路在第一方向上的尺寸来获得设置第二像素电路的区域。例如,像素电路在第一方向上的尺寸可以小于第一发光元件在第一方向上的尺寸。在本示例中,第一方向可以为行方向X。如图7所示,可以将原来的每a列像素电路通过沿水平方向X压缩,从而新增一列像素电路的排布空间,且压缩前的a列像素电路和压缩后的a+1列像素电路所占用的空间是相同。其中,a可以为大于1的整数。在本示例中,a可以等于2。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如,a可以等于3或4。在另一些示例中,第一方向可以为列方向Y。可以将原来的b行像素电路通过沿竖直方向Y压缩,从而新增一行像素电路的排布空间,且压缩前的b行像素电路和压缩后的b+1行像素电路所占用的空间是相同。其中,b可以为大于1的整数。或者,可以通过减小第一像素电路在行方向和列方向上的尺寸来获得设置第二像素电路的区域。
在本示例性实施方式中,如图7所示,一个像素电路30可以通过第一连 接孔300与第一发光元件21或者第二发光元件实现电连接,第一发光元件21可以通过第二连接孔210与对应的第一像素电路实现电连接。例如,第一像素电路可以通过第一连接孔300与第一导电线电连接,且所述第一导电线可以通过第二连接孔210与对应的第一发光元件21电连接。第二像素电路可以通过第一连接孔300与第二导电线电连接,所述第二导电线可以延伸至第二显示区,与第二显示区内的第二发光元件电连接。

在本示例中,相邻两个第一子显示区可以为连续的区域,即相邻两个第一子显示区之间可以没有设置其他像素电路和发光元件。第一个第一子显示区A1a和第二个第二子显示区A2b可以相邻且为连续的区域,即第一子显示 区A1a和第二个第二子显示区A2b之间可以没有间隔其他区域。在本示例中,第二像素电路可以紧邻第二显示区A2排布。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。在另一些示例中,第一个第一子显示区A1a和第二个第二子显示区A2b可以为不连续的区域,例如第一个第一子显示区A1a和第二个第二子显示区A2b之间可以设置不属于第一子显示区的第一像素电路和第一发光元件。第二像素电路的排布位置没有与第二显示区A2相邻,第二像素电路的排布位置与第二显示区A2可以间隔一定距离。

在一些示例性实施方式中,如图9所示,第一个第一子显示区A1a的第 一发光元件可以通过第三透明导电线51a与第三个第一子显示区A1c的第一像素电路电连接。第二个第一子显示区A1b的第一发光元件可以通过第四透明导电线51b与第四个第一子显示区A1d的第一像素电路电连接。第三个第一子显示区A1c的第一发光元件可以通过第五透明导电线51c与第五个第一子显示区A1e的第一像素电路电连接。第四个第一子显示区A1d的第一发光元件可以通过第六透明导电线51d与第六个第一子显示区A1f的第一像素电路电连接。第五个第一子显示区A1e的第一发光元件可以通过第七透明导电线51e与第七个第一子显示区A1g的第一像素电路电连接。第六个第一子显示区A1f的第一发光元件可以通过第八透明导电线51f与第八个第一子显示区A1h的第一像素电路电连接。第七个第一子显示区A1g的第一发光元件可以通过第九透明导电线51g与第九个第一子显示区A1i的第一像素电路电连接。第八个第一子显示区A1h的第一发光元件可以通过第十透明导电线51h与第十个第一子显示区A1j的第一像素电路电连接。依次类推,第九个第一子显示区A1i的第一发光元件可以通过第十一透明导电线51i与远离第十个第一子显示区Alj的区域(例如可以设置第十一个第一子显示区)内的第一像素电路电连接,第十个第一子显示区Alj的第一发光元件可以通过第十二透明导电线51j与远离第十个第一子显示区Alj的区域(例如可以设置第十二个第一子显示区)内的第一像素电路电连接,直至第一辅助区A11内的第一发光元件均可以与第一像素电路电连接即可。本示例对于第一子显示区的数目并不限定。在一些示例中,可以根据第一子显示区内的像素电路或发光元件的数目来确定第一子显示区的数目,比如,最后一个第一子显示区内的像素电路可以小于或等于2个。或者,在一些示例中,可以根据第一子显示区内的发光元件或像素电路所电连接的透明导电线的长度来确定第一子显示区的数目,比如,最后一个第一子显示区内的发光元件所电连接的透明导电线的长度小于或等于预设值。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
在本示例中,第n个第一子显示区的第一发光元件与第n+2个第一子显示区的第一像素电路电连接,即本示例的i可以为2。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。在另一些示例中,第一个第一子显示区A1a的第一发光元件可以与第四个第一子显示区A1d的第一像素电路电连接,第二个第一子显示区A1b的第一发光元件可以与第三个第一子显示区A1d的第一像素电路电连接, 并依次类推。

在一些示例中,如图10至图11D所示,第一个第二子显示区A2a内的第二发光元件22可以通过第一透明导电线52a与第一个第一子显示区A1b内的第二像素电路32电连接。第一个第二子显示区A2a内的多个第二发光元件22所电连接的多条第一透明导电线52a可以均位于第一透明导电层41。第一透明导电线52a可以从第一个第二子显示区A2a经过第二个第二子显示区A2b延伸至第一个第一子显示区A1a内。第二个第二子显示区A2b内的第二发光元件22可以通过第二透明导电线52b与第二个第二子显示区A1b内的第二像素电路32电连接。第二个第二子显示区A2b内的多个第二发光元件22所电连接的多条第二透明导电线52b可以均位于第二透明导电层42。第二透明导电线52b可以从第二个第二子显示区A2b经过第一个第一子显示区A1a延伸至第二个第一子显示区A1b内。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图10至图11D所示,第一个第二子显示区A2a内远离第一辅助区A11的第二发光元件22可以与第一个第一子显示区A1a内远离第二显示区A2的第二像素电路32电连接,第一个第二子显示区A2a内靠近第一辅助区A11的第二发光元件22可以与第一个第一子显示区A1a内靠近第二显示区A2的第二像素电路32电连接。第二个第二子显示区A2b内远离第一辅助区A11的第二发光元件22可以与第二个第一子显示区A1b内远离第二显示区A2的第二像素电路32电连接,第二个第二子显示 区A2b内靠近第一辅助区A11的第二发光元件22可以与第二个第一子显示区A1b内靠近第二显示区A2的第二像素电路32电连接。本示例的第二发光元件22和第二像素电路32的连接方式可以避免透明导电线交叠引起的短路或干扰等问题。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图11A至图11D所示,第一个第一子显示区A1a内的第二像素电路32的数目与第一个第二子显示区A2a内的第二发光元件22的数目可以相同,第二个第一子显示区A1b内的第二像素电路32的数目与第二个第二子显示区A2b内的第二发光元件22的数目可以相同。在一些示例中,第一个第二子显示区A2a内的第二发光元件22的数目与第二个第二子显示区A2b内的第二发光元件22的数目可以大致相同。第一个第一子显示区A1a内的第二像素电路32的数目与第二个第一子显示区A1b内的第二像素电路32的数目可以大致相同。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如,第一个第二子显示区A2a和第二个第二子显示区A2b内的第二发光元件22的数目可以不同。第一个第一子显示区A1a和第二个第一子显示区A1b内的第二像素电路32的数目可以不同。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图10至图11E所示,第一个第一子显示区A1a和第二个第一子显示区A1b可以均包括多列第二像素电路32和多列第一发光元件21。由于第二像素电路32在行方向X上的尺寸小于第一发光元件21在行方向X上的尺寸,因此,第一个第一子显示区A1a内第一发光元件21的数目小于第二像素电路32的数目,第二个第一子显示区A1b内第一发光元件21的数目小于第二像素电路32的数目。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图10至图11E所示,第一个第一子显示区A1a的第一发光元件21可以通过第三透明导电线51a与第三个第一子显示区A1c的第一像素电路31电连接。第一个第一子显示区A1a内的多个第一发光元件21所电连接的多条第三透明导电线51a可以均位于第三透明导电层43。第三透明导电线51a可以从第一个第一子显示区A1a经过第二个第一子显示区A1b延伸至第三个第一子显示区A1c内。第二个第一子显示区A1b内的第一发光元件21可以通过第四透明导电线51b与第四个第二子显示区A1d内的第一像素电路31电连接。第二个第一子显示区A1b内的多个第一 发光元件21所电连接的多条第四透明导电线51b可以均位于第一透明导电层41。第四透明导电线51b可以从第二个第一子显示区A1b经过第三个第一子显示区A1c延伸至第四个第一子显示区A1d内。

在一些示例中,如图10至图11G所示,电连接第三个第一子显示区A1c内的第一发光元件21和第五个第一子显示区A1e内的第一像素电路31的第五透明导电线51c可以位于第二透明导电层42。电连接第四个第一子显示区A1d内的第一发光元件21和第六个第一子显示区A1f内的第一像素电路31的第六透明导电线51d可以位于第三透明导电层43。电连接第五个第一子显示区A1e内的第一发光元件21和第七个第一子显示区A1g内的第一像素电路31的第七透明导电线51e可以位于第一透明导电层41。电连接第六个第一子显示区A1f内的第一发光元件21和第八个第一子显示区A1h内的第一像素电路31的第八透明导电线51f可以位于第二透明导电层42。电连接第七个第一子显示区A1g内的第一发光元件21和第九个第一子显示区A1i内的第一像素电路31的第九透明导电线51g可以位于第三透明导电层43。电连接第八个第一子显示区A1h内的第一发光元件21和第十个第一子显示区A1j内的第一像素电路31的第十透明导电线51h可以位于第一透明导电层41。第九个第一子显示区A1i的第一发光元件21电连接的第十一透明导电线51i可以位于第二透明导电层42,第十个第一子显示区Alj的第一发光元件21电连接的第十二透明导电线51j可以位于第三透明导电层43。关于一个第一 子显示区的第一发光元件21和另一个第一子显示区的第一像素电路31的连接方式可以参照第二发光元件22和第二像素电路32的连接方式,故于此不再赘述。
在本示例中,第一个第一子显示区A1a和第二个第一子显示区A1b内的像素电路可以均为第二像素电路。第三个第一子显示区A1c至第十个第一子显示区A1j内的像素电路可以均为第一像素电路。通过将第二像素电路集中设置在一起且靠近第二显示区,可以减小电连接第二发光元件和第二像素电路的透明导电线的长度。
在本示例中,任一个第一子显示区内的第一发光元件的数目可以小于或等于所述第一子显示区靠近第二显示区一侧的相邻第一子显示区内的第一发光元件的数目。例如,第二个第一子显示区A1b内的第一发光元件21的数目可以小于第一个第一子显示区A1a内的第一发光元件的数目,第三个第一子显示区A1c内的第一发光元件21的数目可以小于第二个第一子显示区A1a内的第一发光元件的数目。在本示例中,第一子显示区的大小可以随着远离第一分区A21一侧减小。
在本示例中,第三个第一子显示区A1c以及第三个第一子显示区A1c远离第二显示区一侧的第一子显示区内的像素电路可以均为第一像素电路。第三个第一子显示区A1c内的第一像素电路31的数目可以小于第一个第一子显示区A1a内的第一像素电路31的数目。在第三个第一子显示区A1c至第十个第一子显示区A1j中,任一第一子显示区内的第一像素电路31的数目可以小于或等于所述第一子显示区靠近第二显示区一侧的相邻第一子显示区内的第一像素电路31的数目。
在本示例中,一个第一子显示区内的多个第一发光元件21所电连接的透明导电线可以为同层结构。一个第一子显示区内的第一发光元件21所电连接的透明导电线与该第一子显示区内的像素电路所电连接的透明导电线可以为异层结构。例如,第一个第一子显示区A1a内的第一发光元件21电连接的第三透明导电线51a可以位于第三透明导电层,第一个第一子显示区A1a内的第二像素电路32电连接的第一透明导电线52a可以位于第一透明导电层。如此一来,可以减小透明导电线之间的相互干扰。
图12为本公开至少一实施例的第一透明导电层的示意图。图13为本公开至少一实施例的第二透明导电层的示意图。图14为本公开至少一实施例的第三透明导电层的示意图。图15为本公开至少一实施例的三个透明导电层的示意图。图12至图15中示意了多行像素电路和发光元件的连接关系,单行像素电路和发光元件的连接关系可以参照图11A至图11G所示。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图10至图15所示,第一透明导电线52a、第四透明导电线51b、第七透明导电线51e和第十透明导电线51h可以位于第一透明导电层41。第二透明导电线52b、第五透明导电线51c、第八透明导电线51f和第十一透明导电线51i可以位于第二透明导电层42。第三透明导电线51a、第六透明导电线51d、第九透明导电线51g和第十二透明导电线51j可以位于第三透明导电层43。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。例如,第一透明导电线52a、第四透明导电线51b、第七透明导电线51e和第十透明导电线51h可以位于第二透明导电层42;第二透明导电线52b、第五透明导电线51c、第八透明导电线51f和第十一透明导电线51i可以位于第三透明导电层43;第三透明导电线51a、第六透明导电线51d、第九透明导电线51g和第十二透明导电线51j可以位于第一透明导电层41。或者,在另一些示例中,显示基板可以包括四个透明导电层。第一透明导电线52a至第十二透明导电线51j可以分别排布在四个透明导电层。
如图10至图15所示,本示例中的最长透明导电线可以为电连接第一个第二子显示区A2a内距离第一显示区A1最远的第二发光元件与第一个第一子显示区A1a内距离第二显示区A2最远的第二像素电路的第一透明导电线52a。相较于在一些实现方式中,将第二子显示区A2a内的第二发光元件与第十个第一子显示区的第二像素电路通过透明导电线电连接而言,本示例可以减小电连接第二发光元件22和第二像素电路32的透明导电线的长度,改善透明导电线之间长度差异过大的情况,从而可以改善屏下显示区画面均匀度差的问题,实现更加均匀的全面屏视觉显示效果。
在一些示例性实施方式中,如图8所示,第一显示区A1的第二辅助区A12可以包括:在第二方向(本示例中平行于行方向X)沿着远离第二分区A22的一侧依次排布的多个第三子显示区。第二分区A22可以包括:在第二 方向沿着远离第二辅助区A12的一侧依次排布的多个第四子显示区。第四子显示区内的第二发光元件可以通过第二导电线与一个第三子显示区内的第二像素电路电连接,该第三子显示区内的第一发光元件可以通过第一导电线与远离第二分区A22一侧的另一个第三子显示区内的第一像素电路电连接。在一些示例中,第二分区A22和第二辅助区A12之间的连接方式可以根据第一分区A21和第一辅助区A11之间的连接方式关于中轴线OO’镜像得到。此时,第三子显示区的数目和第一子显示区的数目可以相同,第二子显示区的数目和第四子显示区的数目可以相同。在另一些示例中,可以参照第一分区A21和第一辅助区A11之间的连接规律来得到第二分区A22和第二辅助区A12之间的连接方式。此时,第三子显示区的数目和第一子显示区的数目可以不同,第二子显示区的数目和第四子显示区的数目可以不同,第三子显示区和第四子显示区的像素电路和发光元件的连接方式可以不同于第一子显示区和第二子显示区的像素电路和发光元件的连接方式。例如,第一子显示区和第二显示区可以采用图9所示的连接方式,第三子显示区和第四子显示区可以采用图18或图19类似的连接方式。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。
