Detailed Description
In the related art, due to different designs of the display panel, the load amount of the Data lines may vary, as shown in fig. 1, the array substrate includes pixel circuits 1 arranged in an array, the array substrate further includes a display area a and an opening area B, due to the existence of the opening area B, the length of the Data line Data1 at the position corresponding to the opening area B is smaller than the length of the Data line Data at the position where the opening area B is not provided, and due to the different lengths of the Data lines (Data 1 and Data), the load amount of each Data line (Data 1 and Data) varies, and under the same driving voltage, the magnitude of the current applied to the electroluminescent devices in the pixel circuits connected with the different Data lines (1 and Data) may vary.
In addition to fig. 1, the array substrate may also be the structure shown in fig. 2, in which the display area a includes the pixel circuits 1 arranged in an array, and no opening area is provided in the display area 1, so that there is no difference in the length of each Data line Data, but each Data line Data is electrically connected to the bonding terminal PAD through the fan-out trace 2 provided in the trace area C, to realize the transmission of the driving signal, as shown in fig. 2, the distances between the Data lines Data and the binding terminals PAD located at different areas are different, this results in different lengths of the fan-out traces 2 to which different Data lines Data are connected, and thus in different amounts of Data lines Data (the amounts of Data lines Data include the resistance of the Data lines Data themselves and the resistance of the connected fan-out traces 2), so that the magnitude of the current applied to the electroluminescent devices in the pixel circuits 1 connected by the different Data lines Data may not be uniform.
As shown in fig. 3, in the array substrate in the related art, the fan-out traces 2 with smaller resistance are arranged in a roundabout trace manner to increase the resistance of the corresponding fan-out traces 2, so that the resistance of each fan-out trace 2 tends to be consistent, but the arrangement greatly increases the width of the frame, which is not beneficial to realizing narrow frame design.
The above description is only for describing that different structural designs of the display panel lead to different loads of the data lines, but the invention is not limited thereto, and other structures of the array substrate that can lead to different loads of the data lines are also within the scope of the invention, and are not limited thereto.

Optionally, in the pixel circuit provided in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the pixel circuit further includes: a third light emission controlling transistor T3;

Optionally, in the array substrate provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the larger the resistance of the fan-out trace is, the larger the duty ratio of the first lighting control signal received by the pixel circuit corresponding to the fan-out trace is.

As shown in fig. 6, the duty ratio of the first light emission control signal line closer to the middle column is smaller.
