In the related art, referring to fig. 2, in the process of repairing a dark spot of an OLED display screen, a large proportion of defects cannot be found, and the position of an area where the dark spot is generated cannot be accurately determined, and for convenience of repairing the dark spot, a sub-pixel 13 in the OLED display screen is generally designed into two areas, namely, an area one and an area two; when a dark spot appears in the display process of the OLED display screen, firstly cutting off the area I of the sub-pixel 13 at the position of the dark spot, namely cutting off the connection between the anode 14 of the area I and the pixel driving circuit, namely cutting off the connection between the anode 14 of the area I and the through hole 15; and observing whether the dark spot still exists, and if the dark spot still exists, cutting off the second area of the sub-pixel 13 at the position of the dark spot, namely cutting off the connection between the anode 14 of the second area and the pixel driving circuit, namely cutting off the connection between the anode 14 of the second area and the through hole 15.
If the dark spot still exists after the area is cut off, the dark spot is not caused by the area I, but the area I is cut off and cannot be repaired. The success rate (50%) of the method for modifying the dark spot in the blind-cut sub-pixel area in the related art is not high, and the product quality is seriously influenced.
In order to solve the above problems of the current display screen, an embodiment of the invention provides a display substrate, as shown in fig. 3, including a substrate 1, a pixel driving circuit 2, a first insulating layer 3, and a first electrode 4; the pixel driving circuit 2, the first insulating layer 3 and the first electrode 4 are sequentially arranged on the substrate 1; the pixel driving circuit 2 includes a transistor 21, and the transistor 21 includes a first electrode 211; the first electrode 4 comprises a first sublayer 41 and a second sublayer 42, the second sublayer 42 is located on the side of the first sublayer 41 facing away from the substrate 1, and the first sublayer 41 further extends to be connected to the first pole 211 through a first via 5 opened in the first insulating layer 3; the pattern of the first electrode 4 is not overlapped with the orthographic projection of the first via hole 5 on the substrate 1; the display substrate further includes a first pattern 420, the first pattern 420 and the second sub-layer 42 are located on the same film layer, and the first pattern 420 at least covers an inner wall of the first via hole 5.
Wherein the first electrode 4 may be the anode of the OLED element. The pixel driving circuit 2 may be any one of 3T1C, 7T1C, 9T1C, and the like, and the pixel driving circuit 2 is not particularly limited as long as it can drive the OLED element to emit light. The transistor 21 is a driving transistor for driving the OLED element to emit light in the pixel driving circuit 2. The first pole 211 of the transistor 21 is connected to the first sub-layer 41 of the first electrode 4 via the first via 5 for providing a drive signal to the anode of the OLED element via the pixel drive circuit 2. The first pattern 420 and the second sublayer 42 are located on the same film layer, and the first pattern 420 and the second sublayer 42 can be prepared through a one-time composition process, so that the preparation process is simplified, and the preparation cost is reduced.
Alternatively, the second sublayer 42 of the first electrode 4 and the first pattern 420 covering the inner wall of the first via 5 may be disconnected from each other. I.e. the second sub-layer 42 may comprise two mutually independent patterns, one of which serves as the first electrode 4 and the other of which covers the inner wall of the first via 5. Optionally, the second sublayer 42 of the first electrode 4 and the first pattern 420 covering the inner wall of the first via 5 may also be interconnected.
Alternatively, the first sub-layer 41 is made of a transparent conductive material, such as an ITO (indium tin oxide) material; the second sub-layer 42 and the first pattern 420 use a reflective metal material such as copper or aluminum. The first electrode 4 in this embodiment reflects light to realize display, and can realize a top emission type OLED light emitting element.
In this embodiment, the pattern of the first electrode 4 and the orthographic projection of the first via hole 5 on the substrate 1 do not overlap, which can facilitate the maintenance of the OLED element with a dark spot. By arranging the first pattern 420 on the side, away from the substrate 1, of the first sublayer 41 at the position of the first via hole 5, the first sublayer 41 at the position of the first via hole 5 can be prevented from being corroded by the etching solution in the etching process of the subsequent second sublayer 42 to cause fracture, the first sublayer 41 at the position of the first via hole 5 is protected from being damaged by subsequent etching, and therefore the display panel adopting the display substrate is prevented from having poor thin and dark point clusters.

By arranging the second pattern 430 on the side, away from the substrate 1, of the second sublayer 42 at the position of the first via hole 5, the first sublayer 41 at the position of the first via hole 5 can be further prevented from being eroded by the etching liquid to cause fracture in the etching process of the subsequent second sublayer 42 and the subsequent third sublayer 43, and the first sublayer 41 and the second sublayer 42 can be further prevented from being eroded by the etching liquid to cause fracture in the etching process of the subsequent third sublayer 43, so that the first sublayer 41 and the second sublayer 42 at the position of the first via hole 5 are protected from being damaged by subsequent etching, and thus the display panel adopting the display substrate is prevented from having poor thin and dark point clusters.
Alternatively, the third sublayer 43 of the first electrode 4 and the second pattern 430 covering the inner wall of the first via 5 may be disconnected from each other. I.e. the third sublayer 43 may comprise two mutually independent patterns, one of which serves as the first electrode 4 and the other of which covers the inner wall of the first via 5. Alternatively, the third sublayer 43 of the first electrode 4 and the second pattern 430 covering the inner wall of the first via 5 may also be connected to each other.
Optionally, a transparent conductive material, such as ITO (indium tin oxide) material, is used for the third sub-layer 43 and the second pattern 430. Of course, opaque conductive material may be used for the third sub-layer 43 and the second pattern 430.

Wherein, one first electrode 4 is correspondingly driven by one pixel driving circuit 2; one first electrode 4 comprises at least two sub-electrodes 401, each sub-electrode 401 is connected with the pixel driving circuit 2 corresponding to the first electrode 4, when one sub-electrode 401 fails, the connection between the sub-electrode 401 and the pixel driving circuit 2 can be cut off, and the lighting display of the sub-pixel corresponding to the first electrode 4 is realized through the other sub-electrode 401, that is, the first electrode 4 is provided with at least two sub-electrodes 401, so that the sub-pixel corresponding to the first electrode 4 can be conveniently maintained in a failure mode.
Optionally, the display substrate further includes an auxiliary repair line 6, the auxiliary repair line 6 extending along the first direction L; the auxiliary repair line 6 is positioned on one side of the first pole 211, which is far away from the first electrode 4, or positioned between the first pole 211 and the film layer where the first electrode 4 is positioned; and the auxiliary repair line 6 is insulated from the first pole 211 and the first electrode 4; the auxiliary repair line 6 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of each sub-electrode 401 in one row or one column on the substrate 1; the auxiliary repair line 6 and the orthographic projection of the first via hole 5 on the substrate 1 do not overlap; the auxiliary repair line 6 does not overlap with an orthogonal projection of the first sub-layer 41 connected between the first via 5 and the sub-electrode 401 on the substrate 1.
When a dark spot appears in the display panel adopting the display substrate, the first sub-layer 41 connected between the first via hole 5 and the sub-electrode 401 is cut off to realize the connection between the sub-electrode 401 and the first electrode 211 of the pixel driving circuit 2, so that the dark spot is blindly repaired; if a dark spot still exists after the connection between a certain sub-electrode 401 and the pixel driving circuit 2 is cut off, it indicates that the sub-electrode 401 does not cause a dark spot, that is, the sub-electrode 401 is good, at this time, the sub-electrode 401 is repaired by the auxiliary repairing line 6, that is, the sub-electrode 401 is connected with the auxiliary repairing line 6, and the sub-electrodes 401 of other sub-pixels adjacent to the sub-electrode 401 are also connected with the auxiliary repairing line 6, so that the repair of the blind repair sub-electrode 401 is realized, and the blind repair sub-electrode 401 is restored to a normally driven state.
Optionally, one row or one column of the first electrodes 4 corresponds to a plurality of auxiliary repair lines 6; the number of the auxiliary repair lines 6 corresponding to the first electrodes 4 in one row or column is the same as the number of the display colors of the sub-pixels driven by the first electrodes 4 in one row or column. That is, the first electrodes 401 in one row or one column correspond to a plurality of sub-pixels with different colors, when the sub-electrode 401 in one of the first electrodes 4 is cut off to be repaired, the sub-electrode 401 is connected to the auxiliary repair line 6, and the first electrode 4 corresponding to the sub-pixel with the same color closest to the sub-electrode 401 is connected to the same auxiliary repair line 6, so that the repair of the sub-electrode 401 to be repaired is realized.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, the pixel driving circuit 2 is located in the orthographic projection area of the first electrode 4 on the substrate 1; the transistor 21 further includes an active layer 212, a gate insulating layer 213, and a gate electrode 214; the gate insulating layer 213 is positioned between the active layer 212 and the gate electrode 214; the orthographic projection of the active layer 212 and the grid electrode 214 on the substrate 1 at least partially overlaps; the display substrate further comprises a shading conductive layer 7 positioned on one side of the pixel driving circuit 2 close to the substrate 1; the orthographic projection of the light-shielding conducting layer 7 on the substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection overlapped area of the active layer 212 and the grid electrode 214 on the substrate 1; the light-shielding conductive layer 7 also extends to overlap with the orthographic projection of the first via hole 5 on the substrate 1; a second insulating layer 8 is further arranged between the light-shielding conductive layer 7 and the first pole 211 at the position of the first via hole 5; the first pole 211 at the location of the first via 5 is connected to the light-shielding conductive layer 7 by a second via 9 opened in the second insulating layer 8.

By overlapping the orthographic projection of the light-shielding conductive layer 7 on the substrate 1 with the orthographic projection of the coverage layer 212 and the grid electrode 214 on the substrate 1, the threshold voltage shift of the transistor 21 under the illumination can be improved, and the leakage current of the transistor 21 under the illumination is improved. By connecting the first pole 211 at the position of the first via hole 5 to the light-shielding conductive layer 7 through the second via hole 9 opened in the second insulating layer 8, the repair of the sub-electrode 401 in the first electrode 4 after the miscut is facilitated.
