Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. And the embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the invention without any inventive step, are within the scope of protection of the invention.
Unless defined otherwise, technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The use of "first," "second," and similar terms in the present application do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but rather the terms are used to distinguish one element from another. The word "comprising" or "comprises", and the like, means that the element or item listed before the word covers the element or item listed after the word and its equivalents, but does not exclude other elements or items. The terms "connected" or "coupled" and the like are not restricted to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
It should be noted that the sizes and shapes of the figures in the drawings are not to be considered true scale, but are merely intended to schematically illustrate the present invention. And the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout.
As shown in fig. 1, the pixel circuit may include: switching transistors M01-M06, a driving transistor M0 and a capacitor C0. A circuit timing diagram corresponding to the pixel circuit shown in fig. 1 is shown in fig. 2. The specific working process is basically the same as that in the related art, and is not described herein.
In practical applications, the switching transistor M04 may be configured as a double gate structure type transistor. That is, the switching transistor M04 may include: a sub transistor M041 and a sub transistor M042. In the stage T02, the signal S02 is a low level signal, so that the sub-transistor M041 and the sub-transistor M042 are both turned on, and a current flows from the node N3 to the node N1 through the sub-transistor M042 and the sub-transistor M041, so that the node N4 has charges. However, at the moment when the signal S02 is switched from the low level signal to the high level signal, since the sub-transistor M041 is not immediately turned off, the charge stored at the node N4 is injected into the node N1, so that the voltage at the node N1 changes, i.e., the gate voltage of the driving transistor M0 changes, and thus the luminance changes. The voltage variation of the node N1 is different in different areas of the display panel, so that the display panel has the problem of display non-uniformity.
Specifically, in the stage T03, the current I generated by the driving transistor M0 to drive the light emitting device L to emit light satisfies the formula: k (Vdd-VN1- | Vth |)2Where k is a structural parameter, Vdd represents a voltage on the first power line PVDD, VN1 represents a voltage on the node N1, and Vth represents a threshold voltage of the driving transistor M0. At the instant when the signal S02 switches from a low signal to a high signal, the charge stored at the node N4 is injected into the node N1, which causes the voltage VN1 at the node N1 to increase. As can be seen from the formula satisfied by the current I, VN1 rises and the current I falls, thereby causing a problem that the luminance of the light emitting device declines.
It should be noted that, in an ideal state, when the signal S02 is switched from a low-level signal to a high-level signal, the sub-transistors M042 and M041 may be in an off state. However, in practical applications, the sub-transistors M042 and M041 are not immediately turned off, so that the nodes N4 and N1 are turned on through the sub-transistor M041, and the charge stored at the node N4 is injected into the node N1.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, which may include: a substrate 10, a plurality of sub-pixels spx and a plurality of scanning signal lines on the substrate 10; a row of sub-pixels spx corresponds to at least one scanning signal line; each sub-pixel spx includes a pixel circuit 001; the pixel circuit 001 includes a threshold compensation circuit 002 and a drive transistor M0; the threshold compensation circuit 002 may include: a first threshold compensation transistor M41, a second threshold compensation transistor M42, and a shield capacitor CF.
The gate of the first threshold compensation transistor M41 and the gate of the second threshold compensation transistor M42 are electrically connected to the corresponding scan signal line, the first pole of the first threshold compensation transistor M41 is electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor M0, the second pole of the first threshold compensation transistor M41 is electrically connected to the first pole of the second threshold compensation transistor M42, and the second pole of the second threshold compensation transistor M42 is electrically connected to the second pole of the driving transistor M0; the node N4 is connected between the second pole of the first threshold compensation transistor M41 and the first pole of the second threshold compensation transistor M42.
A first electrode of the shielding capacitor CF is electrically connected with a second electrode of the first threshold compensation transistor M41, and a second electrode of the shielding capacitor CF is electrically connected with a fixed voltage signal end;
the orthographic projection of the second electrode of the shielding capacitor CF on the substrate base plate 10 and the orthographic projection of the scanning signal line electrically connected with the first threshold compensation transistor M41 on the substrate base plate 10 do not overlap.
In the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the threshold compensation circuit includes: a first threshold compensation transistor, a second threshold compensation transistor and a shield capacitor; here, by providing the first threshold compensation transistor and the second threshold compensation transistor, the length L of the channel region of the transistor can be increased, and since the current I of the transistor is inversely proportional to the length L of the channel region, the current I of the transistor can be decreased when the length L of the channel region is increased, so that the amount of charge flowing from the node N4 into the gate of the driving transistor (i.e., the node N1) can be reduced. Further, by providing the shield capacitor, the effect of the shield capacitor storing the electric charge can be utilized so that the electric charge of the node N4 is stored in the shield capacitor. Thus, when the signal on the scanning signal line is switched, the charge of the node N4 can be prevented from being injected into the node N1, so that the voltage of the grid electrode of the driving transistor can be kept stable, and the display uniformity of the display panel can be improved.
It should be noted that the fixed voltage signal terminal may be loaded with a voltage signal with a fixed voltage value, so that the voltage of the second electrode of the shielding capacitor may be constant, and the charge injection into the node N1 of the node N4 may be further avoided. Moreover, because the voltage of the second electrode of the shielding capacitor is constant, the interference of the voltage of the second electrode of the shielding capacitor to the charge of the node N4 can be avoided, the charge of the node N4 can be further kept stable, and the display effect is improved.
In specific implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the sub-pixel spx may further include a light emitting device L. The light emitting device L may include an anode, a light emitting functional layer, and a cathode, which are stacked.

And, the first pole can be set as the source and the second pole as the drain according to the type of the transistor and the type of the voltage loaded on the gate; alternatively, the first pole is set as the drain, and the second pole is set as the source, which may be determined according to the practical application environment, and is not limited herein.
In one embodiment, the voltage of the first power line may be a high voltage, and the voltage of the second power line may be a low voltage or a ground voltage. Of course, in practical applications, the specific value of the voltage may be determined according to practical application environments, and is not limited herein.
In a specific implementation, each of the transistors may be a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) or a Metal Oxide semiconductor field effect Transistor (MOS), and is not limited herein.
In particular, fig. 5 illustrates a timing diagram of signals of the pixel circuit shown in fig. 4. Where S1 represents a signal on the first scan signal line S1, S2 represents a signal on the second scan signal line S2, and EM represents a signal on the light emission control signal line EM. Specifically, one frame time may include: stage T1-T3.
In the stage T1, since the signal s2 is a high-level signal, the data writing transistor M2, the first threshold compensation transistor M41, and the second threshold compensation transistor M42 are all turned off. Since the signal em is a high level signal, both the first and second light emitting control transistors M1 and M6 are turned off. Since the signal s1 is a low-level signal, both the initialization transistor M3 and the reset transistor M5 are turned on.
The turned-on initialization transistor M3 supplies the signal on the reference voltage signal line VREF to the first terminal of the light emitting device L to reset the light emitting device L. The turned-on reset transistor M5 supplies the signal on the reference voltage signal line VREF to the gate of the driving transistor M0 to reset the gate of the driving transistor M0.
In the stage T2, since the signal em is a high level signal, both the first light emission control transistor M1 and the second light emission control transistor M6 are turned off. Since the signal s1 is a high-level signal, both the initialization transistor M3 and the reset transistor M5 are turned off. Since the signal s2 is a low level signal, the data writing transistor M2, the first threshold compensation transistor M41 and the second threshold compensation transistor M42 are all turned on.
The turned-on DATA write transistor M2 supplies the voltage Vdata on the DATA line DATA to the first pole of the driving transistor M0. And the turned-on first and second threshold compensation transistors M41 and M42 may electrically connect the gate and the second pole of the driving transistor M0 to form the driving transistor M0 in a diode connection structure, so that the voltage Vdata of the first pole of the driving transistor M0 charges the gate of the driving transistor M0 through the driving transistor M0 in a diode structure, and when the voltage of the gate of the driving transistor M0 becomes Vdata- | Vth |, the driving transistor M0 is turned off and stores the voltage of the gate of the driving transistor M0 through the storage capacitor CST. Where Vth represents the threshold voltage of the driving transistor M0.
In the stage T3, since the signal s1 is a high-level signal, both the initialization transistor M3 and the reset transistor M5 are turned off. Since the signal s2 is a high level signal, the data writing transistor M2, the first threshold compensation transistor M41 and the second threshold compensation transistor M42 are all turned off. Since the signal em is a low level signal, both the first light emission controlling transistor M1 and the second light emission controlling transistor M6 are turned on.
The turned-on first lighting control transistor M1 supplies the voltage Vdd on the first power supply line PVDD to the first pole of the driving transistor M0, and the gate voltage of the driving transistor M0 is Vdata- | Vth |. The driving transistor M0 generates the current IL for driving the light emitting device L to emit light according to the formula: IL ═ k (Vdd-Vdata)2. Also, the current IL may be supplied to the anode of the light emitting device L through the turned-on second light emission controlling transistor M6, and the cathode of the light emitting device L is applied with a low voltage signal to make the light emitting device L emit light.
In the display panel of the embodiment of the invention, the electric charge of the node N4 can be stored in the shielding capacitor CF by the effect of the shielding capacitor CF storing the electric charge when the signal s2 is switched from a low-level signal to a high-level signal. Therefore, the injection of the charge of the node N4 into the node N1 can be avoided, so that the voltage of the gate of the driving transistor M0 can be kept stable, the current IL can be kept stable, and the display uniformity of the display panel can be improved.
Illustratively, in order to reduce the influence of the leakage current on the gate voltage of the driving transistor M0, in a specific implementation, as shown in fig. 4, the reset transistor M5 may be provided as a transistor of a double gate type structure. Specifically, the reset transistor M5 may include: a first initialization transistor M51 and a second initialization transistor M52; the gates of the first initialization transistor M51 and the second initialization transistor M52 are electrically connected to the first scan signal line S1, the first pole of the first initialization transistor M51 is electrically connected to the reference voltage signal line VREF, the second pole of the first initialization transistor M51 is electrically connected to the first pole of the second initialization transistor M52, and the second pole of the second initialization transistor M52 is electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor M0.

The orthographic projection of the first scanning signal line S1 on the base board 10 is located between the orthographic projection of the reference voltage signal line VREF on the base board 10 and the orthographic projection of the second scanning signal line S2 on the base board 10. Of course, in practical applications, the embodiment of the signal line may be designed and determined according to practical application environments, and is not limited herein.
In practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, the material of the first conductive layer 100, the second conductive layer 200, and the third conductive layer 300 may be a metal material, such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum, molybdenum, and the like, which is not limited herein.
It should be noted that the embodiments of the active semiconductor layer 400, the first conductive layer 100, the second conductive layer 200, and the third conductive layer 300 may be substantially the same as those in the related art, and are not described in detail herein.
For example, in practical implementation, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7, the display panel may further include: shielding layers corresponding to the sub-pixels one by one; wherein, for the same sub-pixel, at least one of the first drain region and the second source region has an overlapping region in the orthographic projection of the substrate base plate 10 and the orthographic projection of the shielding layer in the substrate base plate 10. And, the shielding layer is the second electrode of the shielding capacitance CF, and at least one of the first drain region and the second source region having an overlap region with the shielding layer is the first electrode of the shielding capacitance CF. Illustratively, the orthographic projection of one data line on the substrate base plate 10 and the orthographic projection of the shielding layer in the sub-pixel of the adjacent column on the substrate base plate 10 have an overlapping area. Illustratively, the orthographic projection of the first power line PVDD on the substrate base plate 10 and the orthographic projection of the shielding layer on the substrate base plate 10 also have an overlapping region.
Illustratively, in particular implementation, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the shielding layer may include a first shielding layer 210; the first shielding layer 210 is disposed in the same layer and insulated from the second electrode (i.e., the electrode conductive portion CST-2) of the storage capacitor CST. I.e. the first shield layer 210 is located at the second conductive layer 200. Thus, the same patterning process can be used to form other structures in the first shielding layer 210 and the second conductive layer 200, thereby reducing the difficulty of process preparation and reducing the cost.
For example, in practical implementation, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7, the display panel may include: first shielding layers 210 corresponding to the respective sub-pixels one by one; each data line is located on a side of the first shielding layer 210 facing away from the substrate 10. At least one of the first drain region M41-D and the second source region M42-S has an overlap region with an orthogonal projection of the first shielding layer 210 on the substrate 10 for the same sub-pixel. Also, the first shielding layer 210 is provided as a second electrode of the shielding capacitance CF, and at least one of the first drain region and the second source region having an overlapping region with the first shielding layer 210 is provided as a first electrode of the shielding capacitance CF. Also, an orthogonal projection of the first power line PVDD on the substrate board 10 and an orthogonal projection of the first shielding layer 210 on the substrate board 10 may have an overlapping region.
Illustratively, in practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the first drain region M41-D and the second source region M42-S are provided as an integral structure, so that the orthographic projection of the first shielding layer 210 on the substrate 10 may have an overlapping region with the integral structure formed by the first drain region M41-D and the second source region M42-S on the orthographic projection of the substrate 10. Also, the orthographic projection of the first shielding layer 210 on the base substrate 10 does not overlap the orthographic projection of the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2 on the base substrate 10. This can prevent the first shielding layer 210 from interfering with signals transmitted on the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2.
In particular, in the embodiment of the present invention, a fixed voltage signal terminal may be electrically connected to the first shielding layer 210, so as to apply a voltage signal with a fixed voltage value to the first shielding layer 210.
Illustratively, in a specific implementation, in an embodiment of the present invention, the fixed voltage signal terminal may be electrically connected to the first power line PVDD. For example, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the first power line PVDD is electrically connected to the first shielding layer 210 through a via 631 penetrating the interlayer insulating layer 630, so that the voltage transmitted on the first power line PVDD is applied to the first shielding layer 210. Therefore, the first power line PVDD for transmitting the fixed voltage value signal in the display panel can be used for transmitting the signal for the first shielding layer 210, so that the signal line for transmitting the fixed voltage value signal is not required to be additionally arranged, the wiring design difficulty is reduced, and the process preparation difficulty is reduced.
Illustratively, in practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the orthographic projection of one DATA line DATA on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the first shielding layer 210 corresponding to the adjacent column of sub-pixels on the substrate 10 have an overlapping region. And, for the DATA line DATA and the first power line PVDD having an overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the first shielding layer 210 on the substrate 10, the first power line PVDD is located between the DATA line DATA and the sub-pixel corresponding to the DATA line DATA. For example, if a column of sub-pixels corresponds to one first power line PVDD, the same column of sub-pixels may correspond to one first power line PVDD and one DATA line DATA, and each sub-pixel in a column of sub-pixels corresponds to one first shielding layer 210, so that there may be two adjacent columns of sub-pixels, and in the row direction from the left side to the right side, the orthogonal projection of the first power line PVDD and the DATA line DATA corresponding to the first column of sub-pixels on the substrate 10 has an overlapping region with the orthogonal projection of the first shielding layer 210 corresponding to the second column of sub-pixels on the substrate 10. And, the first power line PVDD corresponding to the first column of sub-pixels is electrically connected to the first shielding layer 210 corresponding to the second column of sub-pixels through a via hole penetrating the interlayer insulating layer 630. Since the connection portion 320 needs to be electrically connected to the first source region M41-S of the first threshold compensation transistor M41 through the via 632, the first power line PVDD corresponding to the first column of sub-pixels is electrically connected to the first shielding layer 210 corresponding to the second column of sub-pixels, so that the influence on the via 632 can be avoided, and the via 632 can be directly prepared by a preparation method in the related art without adjusting the position of the via 632, thereby reducing the process preparation difficulty and the design difficulty.
The embodiment of the invention provides another display panel, and the structural schematic diagrams thereof are shown in fig. 8 and fig. 9. Which is modified from the embodiments described in the above embodiments. Only the differences between the present embodiment and the above embodiments will be described below, and the descriptions of the same parts will be omitted.
In particular implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the shielding layer may also include a second shielding layer 220; wherein the second shielding layer 220 may be located between the base substrate 10 and the buffer layer 640. That is, a fourth conductive layer may be disposed between the substrate base plate 10 and the buffer layer 640, and the fourth conductive layer may include a plurality of second shield layers 220 disposed at intervals.
Specifically, in practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the display panel may further include: a second shielding layer 220 corresponding to each sub-pixel spx one to one; wherein, for the same sub-pixel, at least one of the first drain region M41-D and the second source region M42-S has an overlapping region in the orthographic projection of the substrate base plate 10 and the orthographic projection of the second shielding layer 220 in the substrate base plate 10. Also, the second shielding layer 220 is a second electrode of the shielding capacitance CF, and at least one of the first drain region and the second source region having an overlapping region with the second shielding layer 220 is a first electrode of the shielding capacitance CF. Also, an orthogonal projection of the first power line PVDD on the substrate board 10 and an orthogonal projection of the second shielding layer 220 on the substrate board 10 have an overlapping region.
For example, in practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the first drain region M41-D and the second source region M42-S may be provided as an integral structure, and the orthographic projection of the second shielding layer 220 on the substrate 10 may have an overlapping region with the integral structure formed by the first drain region M41-D and the second source region M42-S on the orthographic projection of the substrate 10. Also, the orthographic projection of the second shielding layer 220 on the base substrate 10 does not overlap the orthographic projection of the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2 on the base substrate 10.
In practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fixed voltage signal terminal is electrically connected to the second shielding layer 220, so as to apply a voltage signal with a fixed voltage value to the second shielding layer 220. Illustratively, the fixed voltage signal terminal may be electrically connected to the first power line PVDD. For example, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the first power line PVDD may be electrically connected to the second shielding layer 220 through a via hole 633 penetrating the buffer layer 640, the gate insulating layer 610, the interlayer dielectric layer 620, and the interlayer insulating layer 630, so that the voltage transmitted on the first power line PVDD is applied to the second shielding layer 220.
Illustratively, in practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, an orthogonal projection of one DATA line DATA on the substrate 10 and an orthogonal projection of the second shielding layer 220 corresponding to the adjacent column of sub-pixels on the substrate 10 have an overlapping region. Also, for the DATA line DATA and the first power line PVDD having an overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the second shielding layer 220 on the substrate 10, the first power line PVDD is located between the DATA line DATA and the sub-pixel corresponding to the DATA line DATA. For example, a column of sub-pixels may correspond to one first power line PVDD, the same column of sub-pixels may correspond to one first power line PVDD and one DATA line DATA, and each sub-pixel in a column of sub-pixels may correspond to one second shielding layer 220, so that every two adjacent columns of sub-pixels may be provided, and in a row direction from the left side to the right side, a forward projection of the first power line PVDD and the DATA line DATA corresponding to the first column of sub-pixels on the substrate 10 may have an overlapping region with a forward projection of the second shielding layer 220 corresponding to the second column of sub-pixels on the substrate 10. Furthermore, the first power line PVDD corresponding to the first column of sub-pixels may be electrically connected to the second shielding layer 220 corresponding to the second column of sub-pixels through a via hole 633 penetrating the buffer layer 640, the gate insulating layer 610, the interlayer dielectric layer 620, and the interlayer insulating layer 630. Since the connection portion 320 needs to be electrically connected to the first source region M41-S of the first threshold compensation transistor M41 through the via 632, the first power line PVDD corresponding to the first column of sub-pixels is electrically connected to the second shielding layer 220 corresponding to the second column of sub-pixels, so as to avoid the influence on the via 632, and thus the via 632 can be directly prepared by using a preparation method in the related art without adjusting the position of the via 632, thereby reducing the process preparation difficulty and the design difficulty.
It should be noted that the embodiments of the active semiconductor layer 400, the first conductive layer 100, the second conductive layer 200, and the third conductive layer 300 shown in fig. 8 and fig. 9 may be substantially the same as the structures in the above embodiments, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.
The embodiment of the invention provides another display panel, and the structural schematic diagram of the display panel is shown in fig. 10 and fig. 11. Which is modified from the embodiments described in the above embodiments. Only the differences between the present embodiment and the above embodiments will be described below, and the descriptions of the same parts will be omitted.
In practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, the display panel may have both the first shielding layer 210 and the second shielding layer 220. Therefore, the storage capacity of the shielding capacitor CF can be improved, and the charge injection of the node N4 into the node N1 can be further avoided, so that the voltage of the grid electrode of the driving transistor can be kept stable, and the display uniformity of the display panel can be improved.
For example, in practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, an orthogonal projection of the first shielding layer 210 on the base substrate 10 may be overlapped with an orthogonal projection of the second shielding layer 220 on the base substrate 10. The orthographic projection of the second shielding layer 220 on the substrate 10 can also be made to cover the orthographic projection of the first shielding layer 210 on the substrate 10. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, an orthogonal projection of the first shielding layer 210 on the base substrate 10 may be overlapped with an orthogonal projection of the second shielding layer 220 on the base substrate 10. This can reduce the design difficulty and the process preparation difficulty of the first shielding layer 210 and the second shielding layer 220. Of course, in practical applications, the embodiments of the first shielding layer 210 and the second shielding layer 220 may be designed and determined according to practical application environments, and are not limited herein.
For example, in specific implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, the implementation of the first shielding layer 210 may be substantially the same as that in the above embodiment, and details are not described herein.
For example, in practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, the first power line PVDD may be electrically connected to the first shielding layer 210 through a via 634 penetrating through the interlayer insulating layer 630, and the first shielding layer 210 may be electrically connected to the second shielding layer 220 through a via 635 penetrating through the interlayer dielectric layer 620, the gate insulating layer 610, and the buffer layer 640.
It should be noted that the embodiments of the active semiconductor layer 400, the first conductive layer 100, the second conductive layer 200, and the third conductive layer 300 shown in fig. 10 and fig. 11 may be substantially the same as the structures in the above embodiments, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.
The embodiment of the invention provides another display panel, and the structural schematic diagram of the display panel is shown in fig. 12 and 13. Which is modified from the embodiments described in the above embodiments. Only the differences between the present embodiment and the above embodiments will be described below, and the descriptions of the same parts will be omitted.
In particular implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, the shielding layer may also include a third shielding layer 230. The third shielding layer 230 is disposed in the same layer and insulated from the second electrode (i.e., the electrode conductive portion CST-2) of the storage capacitor CST. I.e. the third shield layer 230 may be located at the second conductive layer 200. Specifically, the display panel may further include: a third shielding layer 230 corresponding to each sub-pixel one to one; wherein, each data line may be located at a side of the third shielding layer 230 facing away from the substrate base plate 10. At least one of the first drain region M41-D and the second source region M42-S has an overlap region with an orthogonal projection of the third shielding layer 230 on the substrate 10 for the same sub-pixel. Also, the third shielding layer 230 is a second electrode of the shielding capacitance CF, and at least one of the first drain region and the second source region having an overlapping region with the third shielding layer 230 is a first electrode of the shielding capacitance CF. Also, an orthogonal projection of the first power line PVDD on the substrate board 10 and an orthogonal projection of the third shielding layer 230 on the substrate board 10 have an overlapping region.
Illustratively, in practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, the first drain region M41-D and the second source region M42-S are a unitary structure, and the orthographic projection of the third shielding layer 230 on the substrate 10 may have an overlapping region with the unitary structure formed by the first drain region M41-D and the second source region M42-S on the orthographic projection of the substrate 10. Also, the orthographic projection of the third shielding layer 230 on the base substrate 10 does not overlap the orthographic projection of the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2 on the base substrate 10.
Illustratively, in particular implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, the third shielding layer 230 is applied with a voltage signal with a fixed voltage value. Illustratively, the fixed-voltage signal terminal may be electrically connected to the reference-voltage signal line VREF. For example, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, the third shielding layer 230 may be directly electrically connected to the reference voltage signal line VREF, so that the voltage signal with a fixed voltage value transmitted on the reference voltage signal line VREF is applied to the third shielding layer 230.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, each of the reference voltage signal lines VREF may be extended downward to form a protruding portion, so that the protruding portion forms the third shielding layer 230. This may allow the third shielding layer 230 and the reference voltage signal line VREF corresponding to the same row of sub-pixels to be provided as an integral structure. In addition, the reference voltage signal line VREF and the third shielding layer 230 may be located on the second conductive layer 200, so that when the display panel is manufactured, a pattern originally forming the reference voltage signal line VREF may be set to form the reference voltage signal line VREF and the third shielding layer 230 at the same time. Therefore, the process preparation difficulty can be reduced, the process preparation efficiency can be improved, and the cost can be reduced.
For example, in practical implementation, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, a forward projection of one DATA line DATA on the substrate 10 may have an overlapping region with a forward projection of the third shielding layer 230 corresponding to the adjacent column of sub-pixels on the substrate 10. Also, for the DATA line DATA and the first power line PVDD having an overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the third shielding layer 230 on the substrate 10, the first power line PVDD is located between the DATA line DATA and the sub-pixel corresponding to the DATA line DATA. For example, if a column of sub-pixels corresponds to one first power line PVDD, the same column of sub-pixels may correspond to one first power line PVDD and one DATA line DATA, and each sub-pixel in a column of sub-pixels corresponds to one third shielding layer 230, so that there may be two adjacent columns of sub-pixels, and in the row direction from the left side to the right side, the orthographic projection of the first power line PVDD and the DATA line DATA corresponding to the first column of sub-pixels on the substrate 10 has an overlapping region with the orthographic projection of the third shielding layer 230 corresponding to the second column of sub-pixels on the substrate 10.
Further, in practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12 and fig. 13, the shape of the third shielding layer 230 is set to be a polygonal line shape (for example, the shape of the third shielding layer 230 is "L" shape). Since the connection portion 320 needs to be electrically connected to the first source region M41-S of the first threshold compensation transistor M41 through the via 632, the third shielding layer 230 is shaped as a zigzag, so that the influence on the via 632 can be avoided, the via 632 can be directly prepared by a preparation method in the related art without adjusting the position of the via 632, and the process preparation difficulty and the design difficulty are reduced.
It should be noted that the embodiments of the active semiconductor layer 400, the first conductive layer 100, the second conductive layer 200, and the third conductive layer 300 shown in fig. 12 and 13 may be substantially the same as the structures in the above embodiments, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.
Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the invention further provides a display device, which comprises the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention. The principle of the display device to solve the problem is similar to the display panel, so the implementation of the display device can be referred to the implementation of the display panel, and repeated details are not repeated herein.
In practical implementation, in the embodiment of the present invention, the display device may be a full-screen mobile phone as shown in fig. 14. Of course, in practical implementation, the display device may also be any product or component with a display function, such as a vehicle-mounted display device, a tablet computer, a television, a monitor, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, and a navigator. Other essential components of the display device are understood by those skilled in the art, and are not described herein or should not be construed as limiting the invention.
In the display panel and the display device according to the embodiments of the present invention, the threshold compensation circuit includes: a first threshold compensation transistor, a second threshold compensation transistor and a shield capacitor; here, by providing the first threshold compensation transistor and the second threshold compensation transistor, the length L of the channel region of the transistor can be increased, and since the current I of the transistor is inversely proportional to the length L of the channel region, the current I of the transistor can be decreased when the length L of the channel region is increased, so that the amount of charge flowing from the node N4 into the node N1 can be reduced. By providing the shield capacitor, the charge at the node N4 can be stored in the shield capacitor by the effect of the shield capacitor in storing the charge. Thus, when the signal on the scanning signal line is switched, the charge injection of the node N4 into the node N1 can be avoided, so that the voltage of the gate of the driving transistor can be kept stable, and the display uniformity of the display panel can be improved.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include such modifications and variations.
