本申请实施例提供一种显示面板,该显示面板通过使复位信号线和低电位信号线中的至少一个的至少部分设置于栅极驱动电路区,则至少可以减小复位信号线和低电位信号线设置在栅极驱动电路区的部分占用的面积,减小该部分需要的边框的宽度,从而减小了显示面板的边框,且该方案无需将栅极驱动电路设置在发光单元上,减小显示面板制备的工艺难度,提高显示面板的良率。
需要说明的是,图1为显示面板的截面图,因此,图1中未示出单个子像素的所有元器件,仅示出了部分晶体管、走线以及电容,因此,可以理解的是,图1中的像素驱动电路不仅包括两个晶体管,还包括其他元器件;同理,图1示出的栅极驱动电路不仅包括单个晶体管,还包括其他元器件,具体的,像素驱动电路包括的元器件可以为图2中的电路示出的多个元器件。
需要说明的是,在图1所示的截面图中,对低电位信号线以标号16进行标示,在图2所示的电路图中,对低电位信号线以ELVSS进行标示,此处仅为不同图示中不同的标示方式,实际上图1所示的截面图中低电位信号线对应图2所示的电路图中低电位信号线,同理,其他截面图和电路图中存在不同标示方式的元件也是同一元件,在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,复位信号线和低电位信号线在栅极驱动电路所处平面的投影是指复位信号线和低电位信号线在栅极驱动电路中任一金属层所处的平面的投影,以栅极驱动电路包括栅极层的金属为例,则该投影可以为复位信号线和低电位信号线在栅极层的投影,该投影位于栅极驱动电路区,且与栅极驱动电路绝缘,即复位信号线和低电位信号线中的至少一个的部分设置在栅极驱动电路区,与栅极驱动电路的投影存在重叠,即减小了复位信号线和低电位信号线中的至少一个占用的边框的宽度,减小了显示面板的边框。
需要说明的是,以LED标示像素发光单元,但本申请并不限定像素发光单元为发光二极管,像素发光单元可以为有机发光二极管。
在一种实施例中,所述栅极驱动电路包括晶体管,所述像素驱动电路包括连接走线,所述复位信号线通过所述连接走线连接至所述像素驱动电路,所述连接走线的至少部分设置于所述晶体管所处的金属层中的一金属层,通过使连接走线的至少部分设置于晶体管所处金属层中的一金属层,使得连接走线无需增加金属层,避免增加显示面板的厚度。
在一种实施例中,所述像素驱动电路包括连接走线,所述复位信号线通过所述连接走线连接至所述像素驱动电路,所述连接走线从所述栅极驱动电路区延伸至所述显示区,所述连接走线与所述复位信号线设置于同一金属层,通过将连接走线与复位信号线设置于同一层,使得在形成连接走线时,无需增加金属层,避免增加显示面板的厚度,且可以通过刻蚀同时形成连接走线和复位信号线,避免增加工艺难度。
在一种实施例中,所述显示面板包括连接孔,所述连接孔设置于所述显示区,且所述连接孔位于所述像素驱动电路上,所述连接走线穿过所述连接孔。通过将连接孔设置在显示区,且可以设置在像素驱动电路上,连接走线通过与复位信号线采用同一金属层形成,使得可以直接将连接走线通过连接孔连接至像素驱动电路,无需更改连接孔的位置,减小工艺复杂性。
在一种实施例中,所述栅极驱动电路包括多层金属层,所述复位信号线与所述低电位信号线中的至少部分与所述栅极驱动电路中的任一金属层异层设置。通过使复位信号线和低电位信号线与栅极驱动电路中的任一金属异层设置,则在设置栅极驱动电路区设置复位信号线和低电位信号线减小边框时,复位信号线和低电位信号线不会设置在栅极驱动电路所处的膜层,从而可以避免复位信号线和低电位信号线与栅极驱动电路中的金属产生短路或者干扰。
针对栅极驱动电路中各膜层的空闲空间较小,设置复位信号线或者低电位信号线会导致信号干扰或者短路等问题。在一种实施例中,如图1所示,所述显示面板1包括:
衬底11;
半导体层141,设置于所述衬底11一侧;
第一金属层143,设置于所述半导体层141远离所述衬底11的一侧;
第二金属层145,设置于所述第一金属层143远离所述半导体层141的一侧;
第一源漏极层151,设置于所述第二金属层145远离所述第一金属层143的一侧;
第二源漏极层153,设置于所述第一源漏极层151远离所述第二金属层145的一侧;
其中,所述栅极驱动电路22包括晶体管和电容,所述晶体管包括栅极143a、源极151d和漏极151b,所述电容包括电容极板145a,所述栅极143a设置于所述第一金属层143,所述电容极板145a设置于所述第二金属层145,所述源极151d和所述漏极151b设置于所述第一源漏极层151,所述复位信号线171和所述低电位信号线16中的至少部分与所述栅极驱动电路22中位于所述第一金属层143、第二金属层145、第一源漏极层151和第二源漏极层153的金属异层设置。
以图1示出的显示面板为例,从图1中可以看到,复位信号线171和低电位信号线16与栅极驱动电路22中的任一金属异层设置,则在设置栅极驱动电路区设置复位信号线和低电位信号线减小边框时,复位信号线和低电位信号线不会设置在栅极驱动电路所处的膜层,从而可以避免复位信号线和低电位信号线与栅极驱动电路中的金属产生短路或者干扰。
具体的,从图1可以看到,栅极驱动电路包括晶体管和电容,晶体管包括栅极、源极、漏极,电容包括电容极板,因此,在复位信号线和低电位信号线中设置在栅极驱动电路的部分设置在这些元件所处的膜层时,会导致短路或者干扰,本申请实施例通过将复位信号线和低电位信号线设置在其他膜层,避免复位信号线与低电位信号线与栅极驱动电路中的元器件产生干扰,导致信号不良。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中仅限定了复位信号线和所述低电位信号线中处于栅极驱动电路区的部分与所述栅极驱动电路中的金属异层设置,对于复位信号线和低电位信号线处于栅极驱动电路区外的部分,不进行限定,例如从图1可以看到低电位信号线还包括设置于第一源漏极层的部分。
针对复位信号线或者低电位信号线设置在栅极驱动电路中金属所处膜层会导致信号干扰或者短路的问题。在一种实施例中,如图1所示,所述显示面板1还包括第三源漏极层154、第一平坦化层152和第二平坦化层155,所述第三源漏极层154设置于所述第二源漏极层153远离所述第一源漏极层151的一侧,所述第一平坦化层152设置于所述第一源漏极层151和所述第二源漏极层153之间,所述第二平坦化层155设置于所述第二源漏极层153和所述第三源漏极层154之间;所述复位信号线171和所述低电位信号线16中的至少一个包括设置于所述第三源漏极层154的第一重合部分,且所述第一重合部分在所述衬底11上的投影与所述栅极驱动电路22在所述衬底11上的投影存在重合。通过新增第三源漏极层,使得复位信号线和低电位信号线可以设置在第三源漏极层,不会与栅极驱动电路的金属处于同一膜层,从而避免栅极驱动电路内的金属(例如栅极)与复位信号线和低电位信号线产生干扰或者短路,导致栅极驱动电路和像素驱动电路的信号传输错误,且通过新增的第三源漏极层形成复位信号线和低电位信号线,可以增大复位信号线和低电位信号线的宽度,减小复位信号线和低电位信号线的阻抗。
具体的,第一重合部分是指复位信号线和低电位信号线中处于栅极驱动电路区的部分,以图1为例,复位信号线的各个部分均位于栅极驱动电路区,则复位信号线的第一重合部分指复位信号线的整体,低电位信号线仅有部分处于栅极驱动电路区,则低电位信号线的第一重合部分是指低电位信号线的第三部分163处于栅极驱动电路区的部分。
针对复位信号线设置在第二源漏极层会导致显示面板的边框较大的问题。在一种实施例中,如图1所示,所述复位信号线171设置于所述第三源漏极层154,所述复位信号线171在所述衬底11上的投影与所述栅极驱动电路22在所述衬底11上的投影存在重合。通过将复位信号线设置在第三源漏极层,可以减小边框的宽度,且该过程通过过孔将第三源漏极层的金属连接至第二源漏极层以及其他金属层,不会导致制程风险,提高显示面板的良率。
具体的,由于复位信号线的宽度较小,因此可以将复位信号线整体设置在栅极驱动电路上,从而消除复位信号线占用的边框的宽度,减小显示面板的边框。
在一种实施例中,所述复位信号线在所述衬底上的投影与所述源极在所述衬底上的投影存在重合,或者所述复位信号线在所述衬底上的投影与所述漏极在所述衬底上的投影存在重合,或者所述复位信号线在所述衬底上的投影与所述栅极在所述衬底上的投影存在重合,或者所述复位信号线在所述衬底上的投影与所述电容极板在所述衬底上的投影存在重合。在第三源漏极层设置复位信号线时,由于复位信号线的宽度较小,无需占用栅极驱动电路区的所有面积,因此,复位信号线可以与源极、漏极、栅极和电容极板在衬底上的投影存在重合,从而使得复位信号线处于栅极驱动电路所处区域,无需设置复位信号线对应的边框区域,减小显示面板的边框。
具体的,所述复位信号线在所述衬底上的投影与所述栅极在所述衬底上的投影存在重合,针对复位信号线设置的第三源漏极层,可能与第二源漏极层的金属之间产生寄生电容的问题,可以使复位信号线与栅极在衬底上的投影存在重合,由于复位信号线和栅极所处膜层的间距较大,减小寄生电容产生的可能性,避免复位信号线与其他金属之间出现寄生电容对信号产生干扰。
在一种实施例中,所述像素驱动电路包括第一复位晶体管和第二复位晶体管,所述第一源漏极层包括连接金属,所述复位信号线穿过所述第二平坦化层的过孔连接至连接金属,所述连接金属从所述栅极驱动电路区延伸至所述显示区并与所述第一复位晶体管和所述第二复位晶体管连接。通过使第一源漏极层形成连接金属,使得连接金属可以连接复位信号线以及第一复位晶体管和第二复位晶体管,实现复位信号线的正常工作。
具体的,在复位信号线设置在第三源漏极层时,可以在栅极驱动电路区将复位信号线连接至第二源漏极层,然后将复位信号线通过第二源漏极层的连接金属延伸至显示区,并在显示区与第一复位晶体管和第二复位晶体管的源漏极进行连接,实现对第一复位晶体管和第二复位晶体管的信号输入。
在一种实施例中,如图2所示,复位信号线包括第一复位信号线VI-G和第二复位信号线VI-ANO,所述第一复位信号线VI-G和所述第二复位信号线VI-ANO中的至少一个设置于所述第三源漏极层,且所述第一复位信号线VI-G和所述第二复位信号线VI-ANO中设置于所述第三源漏极层的部分在所述衬底上的投影与所述栅极驱动电路在所述衬底上的投影存在重合。
对于具有多个复位信号线的显示面板,可以将各复位信号线均设置于第三源漏极层,使各复位信号线设置于栅极驱动电路区,减小各复位信号线占用的边框的宽度。
针对低电位信号线设置在第一源漏极层和第二源漏极层会导致显示面板的边框较大的问题。在一种实施例中,所述低电位信号线设置于第三源漏极层,所述低电位信号线在所述衬底上的投影与所述栅极驱动电路在所述衬底上的投影存在重合。通过将低电位信号线设置在第三源漏极层,可以使得低电位信号线占用的边框的宽度减小,从而减小显示面板的边框,且可以通过第三源漏极层减小低电位信号线的阻抗,从而进一步减小显示面板的边框。
针对低电位信号线的宽度较大导致低电位信号线占用的边框的宽度较大的问题。在一种实施例中,如图1所示,所述低电位信号线16包括第一部分161、第二部分162和第三部分163,所述第一部分161设置于所述第一源漏极层151,所述第二部分162设置于所述第二源漏极层153,所述第三部分163设置于所述第三源漏极层154,所述第二部分162穿过所述第一平坦化层152的过孔与所述第一部分161连接,所述第三部分163穿过所述第二平坦化层155的过孔与所述第二部分162连接,所述第三部分163在所述衬底11上的投影与所述栅极驱动电路22在所述衬底11上的投影存在重合,且所述第三部分163的宽度大于所述第一部分161的宽度,所述第三部分163的宽度大于所述第二部分162的宽度。
通过将低电位信号线设置为第一部分、第二部分和第三部分,则可以通过连接的第一部分、第二部分和第三部分传输信号至显示区,使低电位信号线正常工作,而第三部分设置在第三源漏极层,且第三部分与栅极驱动电路在衬底上的投影存在重合,则可以减小第三部分占用的边框的宽度,而由于第三部分从第一部分和第二部分所处的低电位信号线设置区延伸至栅极驱动电路区,第三部分的宽度较大,减小了低电位信号线的阻抗,且第三部分与第二部分并联连接,第二部分与第一部分并联连接,进一步减小了低电位信号线的阻抗,使低电位信号线的阻抗满足驱动要求甚至减小低电位信号线的阻抗,从而可以减小第一部分和第二部分的宽度,减小低电位信号线占用的边框的宽度,从而减小显示面板的边框的宽度。
具体的,如图1所示,非显示区182还包括低电位信号线区184,第一部分161和第二部分162设置于低电位信号线区184,第三部分163从低电位信号线区184延伸至栅极驱动电路区183,减小了显示面板的边框的宽度。
上述实施例分别以复位信号线和低电位信号线设置在第三源漏极层为例进行了详细说明,可以理解的是,可以同时将复位信号线和低电位信号线设置在第三源漏极层,以进一步减小显示面板的边框,此时仅需要使复位信号线和低电位信号线绝缘设置即可,复位信号线和低电位信号线的设置方式可以如上述实施例所述进行设置,在此不再赘述。
针对将复位信号线和低电位信号线设置在第三源漏极层仍然会导致边框较大的问题。在一种实施例中,所述显示面板还包括第四源漏极层,所述第四源漏极层设置于所述第三源漏极层远离所述第二源漏极层的一侧,所述复位信号线设置于所述第四源漏极层,且所述复位信号线在所述衬底上的投影与所述第三部分在所述衬底上的投影存在重合。通过将复位信号线设置在第四源漏极层,则低电位信号线的第三部分可以设置在栅极驱动电路的所有区域,从而进一步减小低电位信号线占用的边框的宽度,而复位信号线设置在第四源漏极层,也可以减小复位信号线占用的边框的宽度,使得显示面板的边框无需设置复位信号线的设置区域,且设置的低电位信号设置区的宽度较小,进一步减小显示面板的边框。
具体的,在将复位信号线设置在第四源漏极层时,可以分别在第三源漏极层和第二源漏极层设置连接金属,使复位信号线连接到第三源漏极层的连接金属、然后连接到第二源漏极层的连接金属,并通过将连接金属延伸至显示区,与第一复位晶体管和第二复位晶体管的源漏极连接,实现对第一复位晶体管和第二复位晶体管的信号输入。
针对新增膜层设置复位信号线和低电位信号线会导致显示面板的厚度较大的技术问题。在一种实施例中,如图3所示,所述显示面板1还包括遮光层12,所述遮光层12设置于所述衬底11与所述半导体层141之间,所述复位信号线171和所述低电位信号线16中的至少一个包括设置于所述遮光层12的第二重合部分,且所述第二重合部分在所述衬底11上的投影与所述栅极驱动电路22在所述衬底11上的投影存在重合。通过将复位信号线和低电位信号线中在至少一个设置在遮光层,则可以减小复位信号线和低电位信号线占用的空间,减小显示面板的边框,且不会与栅极驱动电路的金属处于同一膜层,从而避免栅极驱动电路内的金属(例如栅极)与复位信号线和低电位信号线产生干扰或者短路,而通过遮光层形成复位信号线和低电位信号线,可以增大复位信号线和低电位信号线的宽度,减小复位信号线和低电位信号线的阻抗。
具体的,第二重合部分是指复位信号线和低电位信号线中处于栅极驱动电路区的部分,以图3为例,复位信号线的各个部分均位于栅极驱动电路区,则复位信号线的第二重合部分指复位信号线的整体;同理,低电位信号线的第二重合部分是指低电位信号线处于栅极驱动电路区的部分。
在一种实施例中,如图3所示,所述复位信号线171设置于所述遮光层12,且所述复位信号线171在所述衬底11上的投影与所述栅极驱动电路22在所述衬底11上的投影存在重合。通过将复位信号线设置在遮光层,可以减小复位信号线占用的边框的宽度,从而减小显示面板的边框,且由于无需增加膜层,不会增加显示面板的厚度。
具体的,在复位信号线设置在遮光层时,可以使第二源漏极层形成连接金属,并通过连接金属穿过各绝缘层和平坦化层连接至复位信号线,并通过连接金属延伸至显示区,然后连接至第一复位晶体管和第二复位晶体管,实现对第一复位晶体管和第二复位晶体管的信号输入。
在一种实施例中,所述低电位信号线包括第一部分、第二部分和第四部分,所述第一部分设置于所述第一源漏极层,所述第二部分设置于所述第二源漏极层,所述第四部分设置于所述遮光层;
所述显示面板还包括第一绝缘层、第二绝缘层、第三绝缘层、第四绝缘层、第五绝缘层、有源层和第三金属层,所述第一绝缘层设置于所述半导体层和所述第一金属层之间,所述第二绝缘层设置于所述第一金属层和所述第二金属层之间,所述第三绝缘层设置于所述第二金属层和所述有源层之间,所述第四绝缘层设置于所述有源层和所述第三金属层之间,所述第五绝缘层设置于所述第三金属层和所述第一源漏极层之间,
其中,所述第二部分穿过所述第一平坦化层的过孔与所述第一部分连接,所述第一部分穿过所述第一绝缘层、所述第二绝缘层、所述第三绝缘层、所述第四绝缘层和所述第五绝缘层的过孔与所述第四部分连接,所述第四部分在所述衬底上的投影与所述栅极驱动电路在所述衬底上的投影存在重合,且所述第四部分的宽度大于所述第一部分的宽度,所述第四部分的宽度大于所述第二部分。
通过将低电位信号线设置为第一部分、第二部分和第四部分,则可以通过连接的第一部分、第二部分和第四部分传输信号至显示区,使低电位信号线正常工作,而第四部分设置于遮光层,且第四部分与栅极驱动电路在衬底上的投影存在重合,则可以减小第四部分占用的边框的宽度,而由于第四部分从第一部分和第二部分所处的低电位信号线设置区延伸至栅极驱动电路区,第四部分的宽度较大,减小了低电位信号线的阻抗,使低电位信号线的阻抗满足驱动要求甚至减小低电位信号线的阻抗,从而可以减小第一部分和第二部分的宽度,减小低电位信号线占用的边框的宽度,从而减小显示面板的边框的宽度,且该设置方式无需新增膜层,不会增加显示面板的厚度。
具体的,在低电位信号线的第四部分设置于遮光层时,对于遮光层与第一源漏极层之间的间距较大,金属容易在过孔内断裂的问题,可以通过其他膜层进行转接,例如通过第一金属层进行转接,本申请实施例对此并不限定,以能够实现低电位信号线的正常连接为基准。
上述实施例分别以复位信号线和低电位信号线设置在遮光层为例进行了详细说明,可以理解的是,为了进一步减小边框,可以将复位信号线和低电位信号线设置在遮光层,此时仅需要使复位信号线和低电位信号线绝缘设置即可,复位信号线和低电位信号线的设置方式可以如上述实施例所述进行设置,在此不再赘述。
同时,对于新增第三源漏极层时,还可以通过将复位信号线设置在遮光层,将低电位信号线的第三部分设置在第三源漏极层,或者通过将复位信号线设置在第三源漏极层,将低电位信号线设置在遮光层,增大低电位信号线占用的栅极驱动电路区的宽度,进一步减小低电位信号线占用的边框的宽度,进一步减小显示面板的边框的宽度。
如图4所示,图4中的(a)为当前显示器件的各部件的设置区域的示意图,图4中的(b)为本申请显示面板的各部分的设置区域的示意图。从图4中的(a)可以看到,在显示区214外,需要分别设置栅极驱动电路设置区212、低电位信号线设置区211和复位信号线设置区213,导致显示器件的边框较大。而本申请通过将低电位信号线和复位信号线设置在栅极驱动电路区,如图4中的(b)所示,可以看到低电位信号线设置区221和栅极驱动电路区183存在重叠,复位信号线设置区222位于栅极驱动电路区183内,减小了显示面板的边框。
如图2所示,像素驱动电路包括第一晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3、第一复位晶体管T4、第一发光控制晶体管T5、第二发光控制晶体管T6、第二复位晶体管T7、存储电容Cst、升压电容Cboost、高电位信号线ELVDD、数据线Data、第一扫描线P Scan(n)、第二扫描线P Scan(n-1)、第三扫描线N Scan(n)、第四扫描线N Scan(n-5)和发光控制线EM。
其中,P Scan(n)表示本级扫描线,P Scan(n-1)表示上一级扫描线,且上述扫描线用于控制P型晶体管,N Scan(n)表示本级扫描线,N Scan(n-5)表示上五级扫描线,且这两条扫描线用于控制N型晶体管。
电路的工作原理如下:在第一阶段,第一复位晶体管T4和第二复位晶体管T7打开,通过第一复位信号线VI-G输出的复位信号对第一晶体管T1的栅极复位,通过第二复位信号线VI-ANO输出的复位信号对像素发光单元LED复位;在第二阶段,第二晶体管T2和第三晶体管T3打开,将数据线Data输入的数据信号写入第一晶体管T1栅极;在第三阶段,第一发光控制晶体管T5和第二发光控制晶体管T6打开,驱动像素发光单元LED发光。

同时,本申请实施例提供一种显示装置,该显示装置包括上述实施例任一所述的显示面板和驱动芯片。
根据上述实施例可知:
