现在将参考附图更全面地描述示例实施方式。然而,示例实施方式能够以多种形式实施,且不应被理解为限于在此阐述的实施方式;相反,提供这些实施方式使得本公开将全面和完整,并将示例实施方式的构思全面地传达给本领域的技术人员。图中相同的附图标记表示相同或类似的结构,因而将省略它们的详细描述。此外,附图仅为本公开的示意性图解,并非一定是按比例绘制。
虽然本说明书中使用相对性的用语,例如“上”“下”来描述图标的一个组件对于另一组件的相对关系,但是这些术语用于本说明书中仅出于方便,例如根据附图中所述的示例的方向。能理解的是,如果将图标的装置翻转使其上下颠倒,则所叙述在“上”的组件将会成为在“下”的组件。当某结构在其它结构“上”时,有可能是指某结构一体形成于其它结构上,或指某结构“直接”设置在其它结构上,或指某结构通过另一结构“间接”设置在其它结构上。
用语“一个”、“一”、“该”、“所述”和“至少一个”用以表示存在一个或多个要素/组成部分/等;用语“包括”和“具有”用以表示开放式的包括在内的意思并且是指除了列出的要素/组成部分/等之外还可存在另外的要素/组成部分/等;用语“第一”、“第二”和“第三”等仅作为标记使用,不是对其对象的数量限制。
结构层A位于结构层B背离衬底基板的一侧,可以理解为,结构层A在结构层B背离衬底基板的一侧形成。当结构层B为图案化结构时,结构层A的部分结构也可以位于结构层B的同一物理高度或低于结构层B的物理高度,其中,衬底基板为高度基准。
在本公开实施方式中,薄膜晶体管包括层叠设置的有源层、栅极绝缘层和栅极。其中,有源层位于半导体层,且有源层包括沟道区和分别位于沟道区两侧的第一极和第二极。其中,沟道区保持半导体特性,第一极和第二极均被导体化。在本公开实施方式中,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,“第一极”及“第二极”的功能有时互相调换,即“第一极”和“第二极”可以互相调换。在本公开实施方式中,对于任意一个晶体管,将“第一极”和“第二极”中的一者称为该晶体管的第一极,且另一者称为该晶体管的第二极。
随着显示行业的迅速发展,人们对于显示装置的画质追求越来越高。显示面板上的电源信号的压降是导致显示面板画质下降的一个重要因素,有必要提供新的设计方案以降低显示面板上的电源信号的压降。
基于此,本公开实施方式提供一种显示面板以及应用该显示面板的显示装置。参见图1,显示面板可以包括依次层叠设置的衬底基板SBT、驱动层DRL和像素层PIXL;像素层PIXL中设置有作为子像素PIX的发光元件(本附图中未进行展示),且驱动层DRL设置有用于驱动子像素PIX的像素驱动电路;各个子像素PIX可以在像素驱动电路的驱动下发光以显示画面。进一步的,显示面板还包括位于像素层PIXL远离驱动层DRL一侧的薄膜封装层TFE,薄膜封装层TFE可以对像素层PIXL进行封装保护。
可选的,衬底基板SBT可以为无机材料的衬底基板SBT,也可以为有机材料的衬底基板SBT;当然的,也可以为无机材料的衬底基板SBT和有机材料的衬底基板SBT层叠而成的复合基板。举例而言,在本公开的一些实施方式中,衬底基板SBT的材料可以为钠钙玻璃、石英玻璃、蓝宝石玻璃等玻璃材料。在本公开的另外一些实施方式中,衬底基板SBT的材料可以为聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯、聚乙烯醇、聚乙烯基苯酚、聚醚砜、聚酰亚胺、聚酰胺、聚缩醛、聚碳酸酯、聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯、聚萘二甲酸乙二酯或其组合。在本公开的另一些实施方式中,衬底基板SBT也可以为柔性衬底基板SBT,例如衬底基板SBT的材料可以包括聚酰亚胺。
可选的,在驱动层DRL中,任意一个像素驱动电路可以包括有薄膜晶体管和存储电容CST(本申请附图对此未做展示)。进一步地,薄膜晶体管可以选自顶栅型薄膜晶体管、底栅型薄膜晶体管或者双栅型薄膜晶体管;薄膜晶体管的有源层的材料可以为非晶硅半导体材料、低温多晶硅半导体材料、金属氧化物半导体材料、有机半导体材料、碳纳米管半导体材料或者其他类型的半导体材料;薄膜晶体管可以为N型薄膜晶体管或者P型薄膜晶体管。
可以理解的是,像素驱动电路中的各个晶体管中,任意两个晶体管之间的类型可以相同或者不相同。示例性地,在一些实施方式中,在一个像素驱动电路中,部分晶体管可以为N型晶体管且部分晶体管可以为P型晶体管。
再示例性地,在另一些实施方式中,在一个像素驱动电路中,部分晶体管的有源层的材料可以为低温多晶硅半导体材料,且部分晶体管的有源层的材料可以为金属氧化物半导体材料。在本公开的一些实施方式中,薄膜晶体管为低温多晶硅晶体管。在本公开的另外一些实施方式中,部分薄膜晶体管为低温多晶硅晶体管,部分薄膜晶体管为金属氧化物晶体管。
可选地,驱动层DRL可以包括层叠于衬底基板SBT和像素层PIXL之间的半导体层(例如图1所示的低温多晶硅半导体层LSCL和金属氧化物半导体层OSCL)、栅极绝缘层(例如图1所示的第一栅极绝缘层GI1、第二栅极绝缘层GI2和第三栅极绝缘层GI3)、栅极层(例如图1所示的第一栅极层GT1、第二栅极层GT2和第三栅极绝缘层GT3)、层间电介质层ILD、源漏金属层(例如图1所示的第一源漏金属层SD1、第二源漏金属层SD2和第三源漏金属层SD3)、平坦化层(例如图1所示的第一平坦化层PLN1、第二平坦化层PLN2和第三平坦化层PLN3)等。各个薄膜晶体管和存储电容CST可以由半导体层、栅极绝缘层、栅极层、层间电介质层ILD、源漏金属层等膜层形成;当然的,也可以借助其他膜层。其中,各个膜层的位置关系可以根据薄膜晶体管的膜层结构确定。进一步地,半导体层可以用于形成晶体管的沟道区(作为有源层的一部分),在必要时也可以通过导体化而形成部分走线或者导电结构。栅极层可以用于形成扫描走线、复位控制走线、发光控制走线等栅极层走线中的一种或者多种,也可以用于形成晶体管的栅极,还可以用于形成存储电容CST的部分或者全部电极板。源漏金属层可以用于形成数据走线、电源电压走线VDDL(参见图12)等源漏金属层走线,也可以用于形成存储电容CST的部分电极板。当然的,在本公开的其他实施方式中,驱动层DRL还可以根据需要而包括其他膜层,例如还可以包括位于半导体层和衬底基板SBT之间的遮光层LS等。
根据需要,上述半导体层、栅极层、源漏金属层等膜层中的任意一种还可以为多层,例如驱动层DRL中可以包括不同的两层半导体层,或者包括两层或者三层源漏金属层或者包括两层或者三层的栅极层;相应的,驱动层DRL中的绝缘性膜层(例如栅极绝缘层、层间电介质层ILD、平坦化层等)可以适应性的增加或者减少,或者根据需要增设新的绝缘性膜层。
可选地,驱动层DRL还可以包括有钝化层(本附图对此未作具体标注),钝化层可以设于源漏金属层远离衬底基板SBT的表面,以便保护源漏金属层。
作为一种示例,驱动层DRL可以包括依次层叠设置的缓冲层(例如图1所示的第一缓冲层Buff1和第二缓冲层Buff2)、半导体层、栅极绝缘层、栅极层、层间电介质层ILD、源漏金属层和平坦化层,如此所形成的薄膜晶体管为顶栅型薄膜晶体管。
在另一种示例中,参见图1,驱动层DRL可以包括依次层叠设置的第一缓冲层Buff1、低温多晶硅半导体层LSCL、第一栅极绝缘层GI1、第一栅极层GT1、第二缓冲层Buff2、第二栅极绝缘层GI2、第二栅极层GT2、层间电介质层ILD、金属氧化物半导体层OSCL、第三栅极绝缘层、第三栅极层GT3、第一源漏金属层SD1、第一平坦化层PLN1、第二源漏金属层SD2、第二平坦化层PLN2、第三源漏金属层SD3、第三平坦化层PLN3。
可选的,参见图1,像素层PIXL可以包括依次层叠设置的像素电极层ANL、发光功能层EL和公共电极层COML。其中,像素电极层ANL在显示面板的显示区具有多个像素电极(本申请附图中对此为做具体标注)。像素定义层PDL具有与多个像素电极一一对应设置的多个贯通的像素开口,任意一个像素开口暴露对应的像素电极的至少部分区域。例如,像素定义层PDL覆盖像素电极的边缘且暴露像素电极的至少部分内部区域,以使得像素定义层PDL可以有效的定义像素电极的实际有效区域(直接与发光功能层EL连接的区域),进而定义子像素PIX的发光区域和发光面积。公共电极层COML作为公共电极而覆盖发光功能层EL。像素电极和公共电极层COML向发光功能层EL提供电子、空穴等载流子,以使得发光功能层EL发光。发光功能层EL位于像素电极和公共电极层COML之间的部分,可以作为子像素PIX的发光功能单元。像素电极、公共电极层COML、发光功能单元形成作为子像素PIX的发光元件。其中,像素电极和公共电极层COML中的一者作为子像素PIX的阳极,且另一者作为子像素PIX的阴极。
在该示例中,显示面板为OLED(有机发光二极管)显示基板。发光功能层EL可以包括有机发光层,以及可以包括有空穴注入层、空穴传输层、电子阻挡层、空穴阻挡层、电子传输层、电子注入层中的一种或者多种。进一步的,有机发光层可以包括发光层主体材料和发光层客体材料,该发光层客体材料可以为荧光掺杂剂或者磷光掺杂剂,尤其是可以为热激活延迟荧光材料。
可以理解的是,该显示面板还可以为其他类型的显示面板,例如还可以为QLED(电至发光量子点)显示面板、QD-OLED(电致发光量子点和有机发光二极管结合)显示面板或者其他类型的显示面板。
参见图1,薄膜封装层TFE可以设于像素层PIXL远离衬底基板SBT的表面,其可以包括交替层叠设置的无机封装层和有机封装层。无机封装层可以有效的阻隔外界的水分和氧气,避免水氧入侵像素层PIXL而导致中像素层PIXL的材料老化。
可选地,无机封装层的边缘可以位于外围区。有机封装层位于相邻的两层无机封装层之间,以便实现平坦化和减弱无机封装层之间的应力。其中,有机封装层的边缘可以位于显示区的边缘和无机封装层的边缘之间。
示例性地,薄膜封装层TFE包括依次层叠于像素层PIXL远离衬底基板SBT一侧的第一无机封装层、有机封装层和第二无机封装层(本申请附图对此未作具体展示)。当然的,在本公开的其他实施方式中,显示面板也可以不设置薄膜封装层TFE,而是采用其他方式对像素层PIXL进行封装和保护。
在本公开的一些实施方式中,显示面板还可以包括触控金属层(本申请附图对此未作具体展示),触控金属层可以设置于薄膜晶体管远离像素层PIXL的一侧,以使得该显示面板具有触控功能。
在该实施方式中,参见图1,驱动层DRL还可以包括晶体管层TL、第一源漏金属层SD1和第二源漏金属层SD2;晶体管层TL为设置于衬底基板SBT和第一源漏金属层SD1之间的各个膜层的组合,其可以形成有像素驱动电路所需的各个薄膜晶体管。
参见图2,根据薄膜晶体管的位置,该显示面板的显示区可以包括阵列分布的电路区PA,每个电路区PA设置有分别用于驱动两个子像素PIX的两个像素驱动电路。具体的,电路区PA可以包括沿行方向DH相邻设置的第一子电路区PA1和第二子电路区PA2,第一子电路区PA1中设置有一个像素驱动电路的各个薄膜晶体管,第二子电路区PA2中设置有另一个像素驱动电路的各个薄膜晶体管。进一步的,像素驱动电路的各个电容板也可以设置有晶体管中。当然的,第一源漏金属层SD1的至少部分结构可以作为电容板的一部分。
在该实施方式中,参见图2,在晶体管层TL和第一源漏金属层SD1中的至少一者可以设置有沿行方向DH延伸的电压走线VL,该电压走线VL可以向像素驱动电路提供电源电压,或者降低加载至像素驱动电路或者子像素PIX的电源电压的压降。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图3,电压走线VL可以包括用于加载参考电压VSS的参考电压走线VSL,该参考电压走线VSL可以与像素层PIXL的公共电极层COML电连接,以降低参考电压VSS的压降,提高参考电压VSS的均一性,进而提高显示面板的画质。
在一种示例中,参考电压走线VSL可以在显示面板的外围区,与公共电极层COML电连接。进一步的,参考电压走线VSL可以设置于驱动层DRL的第一源漏金属层SD1。
在该实施方式的一种示例中,参考电压走线VSL可以与电路区行HPA一一对应设置。换言之,每一行电路区PA均设置一个参考电压走线VSL。这样可以尽量提高参考电压走线VSL的设置密度,进而提高参考电压VSS的均一化效果。
在本公开的另一种实施方式中,参见图3,电压走线VL可以包括用于向像素驱动电路加载初始化电压的初始化电压走线VTL,以便对像素驱动电路的节点或者像素电极进行电压复位。进一步的,电压走线VL可以设置于晶体管层TL,例如设置于晶体管层TL中的栅极层。可以理解的是,在该实施方式中,加载至像素驱动电路的初始化电压可以为一种,也可以为多种。当加载至像素驱动电路的初始化电压为多种时,多种初始化电压的电压值可以相同或者不同,不同种类的初始化电压分别加载在不同的初始化电压走线VTL上。

在本公开实施方式中,参见图3,为了进一步降低电压走线VL上加载的电源信号的压降,可以使得电压走线VL所加载的电源信号的分布呈现网格化。在本公开实施方式中,可以在第一源漏金属层SD1上设置电压跨接线VLA,该电压跨接线VLA可以使得相邻的两个相同的电压走线VL之间电连接,进而使得电压走线VL呈网格化。这样可以进一步降低电压走线VL上加载的电源信号的压降。
在本公开实施方式中,参见图5,可以按照是否设置电压跨接线VLA(参见图3)而将电路区PA分为非异构电路区PAN和异构电路区PAM。相较于非异构电路区PAN,异构电路区PAM的第一源漏金属层SD1的图案有所改变以设置电压跨接线VLA,进而使得电压走线VL上的电压信号分布呈网格化。

在一种示例中,在第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1中,参考电压走线VSL具有断线缺口CG,第一初始化电压跨接线VTL1A穿过参考电压走线VSL的断线缺口CG(作为跨线通道的一部分)。在该示例中,尽管参考电压走线VSL在第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1中设置断线缺口CG而呈不连续的多个子走线,但是位于不同电路区行HPA的子走线之间可以通过参考电压跨接线VSLA电连接(参见图23),进而使得各个子走线相互连接成网,进而使得参考电压VSS在第一源漏金属层SD1上呈网格分布。
在一种示例中,初始化电压走线VTL包括用于向像素驱动电路加载第二初始化电压Vinit2的第二初始化电压走线VTL2;参见图15、图27,初始化异构电路区PAMT包括第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2,第一源漏金属层SD1在第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2具有跨线通道;第一源漏金属层SD1在跨线通道内设置有第二初始化电压跨接线VTL2A(参见图15)。第二初始化电压跨接线VTL2A的两端分别与相邻的两个第二初始化电压走线VTL2电连接(参见图22)。
在一种示例中,第一源漏金属层SD1设置有第七桥接部MA7,第七桥接部MA7与第二初始化电压走线VTL2通过过孔连接,且通过过孔与像素驱动电路的薄膜晶体管连接。在第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2,第二初始化电压跨接线VTL2A的两端分别与两个第二初始化电压走线VTL2电连接的第七桥接部MA7电连接。这样,第二初始化电压跨接线VTL2A通过连接两个第七桥接部MA7,进而使得两个第二初始化电压走线VTL2电连接。举例而言,在图15的示例中,同列相邻的两个第七桥接部MA7通过位于第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2中的第二初始化电压跨接线VTL2A电连接,进而使得相邻两行的第二初始化电压走线VTL2电连接(参见图22、图27)。
在一种示例中,参见图23,在第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2中,参考电压走线VSL具有断线缺口CG,第二初始化电压跨接线VTL2A穿过参考电压走线VSL的断线缺口CG(作为跨线通道的一部分)。在该示例中,尽管参考电压走线VSL在第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2中设置断线缺口CG而呈不连续的多个子走线,但是位于不同电路区行HPA的子走线之间可以通过参考电压跨接线VSLA电连接,进而使得各个子走线相互连接成网,进而使得参考电压VSS在第一源漏金属层SD1上呈网格分布。
在一种示例中,初始化电压走线VTL包括用于向像素驱动电路加载第三初始化电压Vinit3的第三初始化电压走线VTL3。参见图5、图16,初始化异构电路区PAMT包括第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3。第一源漏金属层SD1在第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3具有跨线通道;第一源漏金属层SD1在第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3的跨线通道中设置第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A,第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A的两端分别与相邻的两个第三初始化电压走线VTL3电连接(参见图26)。
在一种示例中,第一源漏金属层SD1在电路区PA中设置有第六桥接部MA6,第六桥接部MA6与第三初始化电压走线VTL3通过过孔连接,且通过过孔与像素驱动电路的薄膜晶体管连接。在第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3,第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A的两端分别与两个第三初始化电压走线VTL3电连接的第六桥接部MA6电连接。这样,第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A通过连接两个第六桥接部MA6,进而使得两个第三初始化电压走线VTL3电连接。举例而言,在图16的示例中,同列相邻的两个第六桥接部MA6通过位于第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3中的第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A电连接,进而使得相邻两列的第三初始化电压走线VTL3电连接。
在一种示例中,在第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3中,参考电压走线VSL具有断线缺口CG,第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A穿过参考电压走线VSL的断线缺口CG(作为跨线通道的一部分)。在该示例中,尽管参考电压走线VSL在第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3中设置断线缺口CG而呈不连续的多个子走线,但是位于不同电路区行HPA的子走线之间可以通过参考电压跨接线VSLA电连接,进而使得各个子走线相互连接成网,进而使得参考电压VSS在第一源漏金属层SD1上呈网格分布。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,电路区PA中的两个像素驱动电路在整体上可以采用对称设置,即整体上沿对称轴对称,该对称轴沿列方向延伸。可以理解的是,电路区PA中的两个像素驱动电路对称设置并非是指电路区PA的各个膜层的图案均呈对称设置,而是指电路区PA的两个像素驱动电路的晶体管的相对位置基本对称。当然的,驱动层DRL在电路区PA的至少部分膜层的图案可以呈对称设置。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图6,第一子电路区PA1中的第一发光控制晶体管T5和第二子电路区PA2的第一发光控制晶体管T5相邻设置,两个第一发光控制晶体管T5第一极可以相互电连接。电路区PA中的电源电压转接结构VDLP可以通过一个过孔与两个第一发光控制晶体管T5第一极电连接。举例而言,第八下过孔区HA8和第八上过孔区HB8可以位于第一子电路区PA1和第二子电路区PA2的分界线上,这可以减少过孔数量,进而利于提高显示面板的分辨率。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,异构电路区PAM的跨线通道设置于异构电路区PAM的第一子电路区PA1中。参见图11,非异构电路区PAN中,第一源漏金属层SD1在第一子电路区PA1的图案与在第二子电路区PA2的图案轴对称设置。参见图11、图13~图16,第一源漏金属层SD1在非异构电路区PAN的第二子电路区PA2的图案与在异构电路区PAM的第二子电路区PA2的图案相同;第一源漏金属层SD1在异构电路区PAM的第一子电路区PA1的图案与在非异构电路区PAN的第一子电路区PA1的图案不同。进一步的,第一源漏金属层SD1在异构电路区PAM的第一子电路区PA1的跨线通道以外的区域的图案,与第一源漏金属层SD1在非异构电路区PAN的第一子电路区PA1的相同区域的图案相同。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图13~图16,在异构电路区PAM中,第三桥接部MA3由第一子转接结构MA31和第二子转接结构MA32组成。换言之,在异构电路区PAM中,第三桥接部MA3没有设置第三子转接结构MA33以避让跨线通道。
在一种示例中,参见图13~图16,第一子转接结构MA31设置于第一子电路区PA1和第二子电路区PA2的连接处,第二子转接结构MA32设置于第二子电路区PA2中。非异构电路区PAN的第一子电路区PA1设置有第三子转接结构MA33,异构电路区PAM的第一子电路区PA1中不设置第三子转接结构MA33。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,像素驱动电路包括用于对驱动晶体管T3进行阈值补偿的阈值补偿晶体管T2。参见图13~图16,任意一个子电路区(例如第一子电路区PA1和第二子电路区PA2中的任意一个)设置有第一桥接部MA1,第一桥接部MA1使得阈值补偿晶体管T2的第二极与驱动晶体管T3的栅极电连接。在异构电路区PAM的第一子电路区PA1中,电压跨接线VLA设于第一桥接部MA1与第三桥接部MA3之间。
需要说明的是,本公开的显示面板中,像素驱动电路可以通过将阈值补偿晶体管T2设置为金属氧化物晶体管,减小第一节点N1的漏电,进而提高像素驱动电路的保压能力,降低显示面板在低频驱动下的闪烁风险并降低显示面板的功耗。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,第一源漏金属层SD1在电路区PA还设置有初始化电压转接结构VTLP(例如第六桥接部MA6),电压走线VL包括位于晶体管层且用于加载初始化电压的初始化电压走线VTL(例如第三初始化电压走线VTL3);初始化电压转接结构与初始化电压走线VTL电连接,用于向电路区PA的两个像素驱动电路同时提供初始化电压(例如Vinit3)。
其中,非异构电路区PAN中的初始化电压转接结构的形状与异构电路区PAM中的初始化电压转接结构的形状不同,以使得异构电路区PAM中的初始化电压转接结构VTLP避让跨线通道。
在该实施方式中,异构电路区PAM中的初始化电压转接结构VTLP也进行了形变,以避让跨线通道。
可选的,与初始化电压转接结构VTLP相连的两个薄膜晶体管相邻设置,以使得初始化电压转接结构VTLP通过一个过孔同时驱动两个像素驱动电路。举例而言,第一子电路区PA1中的第二电容复位晶体管T8和第二子电路区PA2中的第二电容复位晶体管T8相邻设置,且两个第二电容复位晶体管T8的第一极相互共用并设置第十下过孔区HA10。第十下过孔区HA10和第十上过孔区HB10位于第一子电路区PA1和第二子电路区PA2的分界线上。第一源漏金属层SD1设置有作为初始化电压转接结构的第六桥接部MA6,该第六桥接部MA6通过一个过孔同时向两个子电路区的第二电容复位晶体管T8加载第三初始化电压Vinit3。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图13~图16,在异构电路区PAM中,第六桥接部MA6由第四子转接结构MA61和第五子转接结构MA62组成。换言之,在异构电路区PAM中,第六桥接部MA6没有设置第六子转接结构MA63以避让跨线通道。
在一种示例中,参见图13~图16,第四子转接结构MA61设置于第一子电路区PA1和第二子电路区PA2的连接处,其具有第十上过孔区HB10;第五子转接结构MA62设置于第二子电路区PA2中。非异构电路区PAN的第一子电路区PA1设置有第六子转接结构MA63,异构电路区PAM的第一子电路区PA1中不设置第六子转接结构MA63。
在图16的示例中,尽管第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A的一部分与第六子转接结构MA63相同或者类似,但是第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A上不设置与第三初始化电压走线VTL3电连接的第十五上过孔区HB15,其可以不被视为第六子转接结构MA63。当然的,第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A与第三初始化电压走线VTL3的交叠位置也可以设置第十五上过孔区HB15,以使得第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A直接通过过孔与第三初始化电压走线VTL3电连接。
在本公开实施方式中,第三栅极层GT3在非异构电路区PAN中的形状可以与在异构电路区PAM中的形状不同。图17示例了一种实施方式中第三栅极层GT3在异构电路区PAM中的结构。图10示例了一种实施方式中第三栅极层GT3在非异构电路区PAN中的结构。在非异构电路区PAN中,第三初始化电压走线VTL3具有两个膨大部,两个膨大部分别设置有第十五下过孔区HA15以便通过过孔与第六桥接部MA6电连接。换言之,在非异构电路区PAN,第三初始化电压走线VTL3在第一子电路区PA1中具有用于与第六子转接结构MA63电连接的膨大部,在第二子电路区PA2中具有用于与第五子转接结构MA62电连接的膨大部。在异构电路区PAM中,第三初始化电压走线VTL3具有一个膨大部;该膨大部具有第十五下过孔区HA15以便与第六桥接部MA6通过过孔电连接。换言之,在异构电路区PAM,第三初始化电压走线VTL3仅在第二子电路区PA2具有用于与第五子转接结构MA62电连接的膨大部,在第一子电路区PA1中不设置用于与第六子转接结构MA63电连接的膨大部。
当然的,在本公开的其他实施方式中,第三栅极层GT3在非异构电路区PAN和异构电路区PAM中的形状也可以相同。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,在电路区行HPA中,非异构电路区PAN和异构电路区PAM交替设置。如此,可以保证电源信号的网格化分布,确保网格密度和提高电源信号的均一性。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,在电路区列VPA中,非异构电路区PAN和异构电路区PAM交替设置。如此,可以保证电源信号的网格化分布,确保网格密度和提高电源信号的均一性。
在一种示例中,同一电路区列VPA中,异构电路区PAM为同一种异构电路区PAM。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,沿行方向DH,相邻两个初始化异构电路区PAMT之间设置有至少一个参考异构电路区PAMS。例如,沿行方向DH,相邻两个初始化异构电路区PAMT之间设置有两个参考异构电路区PAMS。这一方面,这使得参考电压走线VSSL在初始化异构电路区PAMT中被隔断的情况下依然可以保持网格化连接,另一方面使得参考电压VSS的网格密度大,进一步提高参考电压VSS的信号均一性(例如参见图27图28,图27为第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2和参考异构电路区PAMS的排布示意图,图28为第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3和参考异构电路区PAMS的排布示意图)。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,沿行方向DH,第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1、第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2、第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3和第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2呈周期性依次排列。在该实施方式中,第二初始化电压Vinit2的网格密度大于第一初始化电压Vinit1、第三初始化电压Vinit3的网格密度,可以使得更为关键的第二初始化电压Vinit2具有更好的信号稳定性,进而提高显示面板的画质。
可以理解的是,如果第一初始化电压Vinit1的稳定性对像素驱动电路的稳定性更为关键,也可以使得第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1的数量多于第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2、第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3;相应的,如果第三初始化电压Vinit3的稳定性对像素驱动电路的稳定性更为关键,也可以使得第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3的数量多于第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2、第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图5-1、图5-2(在图5-2中,N表示非异构电路区PAN、S表示参考异构电路区PAMS、1表示第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1、2表示第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2、3表示第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3),同一电路区列VPA中,异构电路区PAM为同一种异构电路区PAM。在一种示例中,将参考异构电路区PAMS所在的电路区列VPA标记为S;则标记为S的电路区列VPA包括沿列方向DV依次交替设置的非异构电路区PAN、参考异构电路区PAMS。将第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1所在的的电路区列VPA标记为1,则标记为1的电路区列VPA包括沿列方向DV依次交替设置的非异构电路区PAN、第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1。将第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2所在的电路区列VPA标记为2,则标记为2的电路区列VPA包括沿列方向DV依次交替设置的非异构电路区PAN、第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2。将第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3所在的电路区列VPA标记为3,则标记为3的电路区列VPA包括沿列方向DV依次交替设置的非异构电路区PAN、第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3。在显示区的至少部分区域,连续24个电路区列VPA的排列方式可以为1SS1SS2SS2SS3SS3SS2SS2SS(参见图21~图24)。
在本公开的另一种实施方式中,参见图20-1、图20-2((在图20-2中,N表示非异构电路区PAN、S表示参考异构电路区PAMS、1表示第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1、2表示第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2、3表示第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3),同一电路区列VPA中,异构电路区PAM为同一种异构电路区PAM。在一种示例中,将参考异构电路区PAMS所在的电路区列VPA标记为S,标记为S的电路区列VPA包括沿列方向DV依次交替设置的非异构电路区PAN、参考异构电路区PAMS。将第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1所在的电路区列VPA标记为1,标记为1的电路区列VPA包括沿列方向DV依次交替设置的非异构电路区PAN、第一初始化异构电路区PAMT1。将第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2所在的电路区列VPA标记为2,标记为2的电路区列VPA包括沿DV列方向依次交替设置的非异构电路区PAN、第二初始化异构电路区PAMT2。将第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3所在的电路区列VPA标记为3,标记为3的电路区列VPA包括沿列方向DV依次交替设置的非异构电路区PAN、第三初始化异构电路区PAMT3。在显示区的至少部分区域,连续24个电路区列VPA的排列方式可以为1SS3SS2SS2SS3SS1SS2SS2SS。这样,可以使得第一初始化电压跨接线VTL1A和第三初始化电压跨接线VTL3A的分布更为均匀,利于提高第一初始化电压Vinit1和第三初始化电压Vinit3的均一性(参见图25、图26)。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图1,驱动层DRL还可以包括位于第二源漏金属层SD2远离第一源漏金属层SD1一侧的第三源漏金属层SD3;在第二源漏金属层SD2和第三源漏金属层SD3之间设置有第二平坦化层PLN2,在第三源漏金属层SD3远离第二源漏金属层SD2的一侧设置有第三平坦化层PLN3。换言之,驱动层DRL包括依次层叠设置的第二源漏金属层SD2、第二平坦化层PLN2、第三源漏金属层SD3、第三平坦化层PLN3。
在一种示例中,参见图18,第三源漏金属层SD3可以设置有参考电压网格VSSW,该参考电压网格VSSW可以在外围区与公共电极层COML电连接。这样可以进一步降低参考电压VSS的压降,提高参考电压VSS的均一性。
在一些实施方式中,参考电压网格VSSW包括沿列方向DV延伸的第一参考电压线段VSSW1和沿行方向DH延伸的第二参考电压线段VSSW2;第一参考电压线段VSSW1的两端分别于相邻的第二参考电压线段VSSW2直接或者间接连接,以此形成网格结构。
在一些示例中,参考电压网格VSSW还包括使得第一参考电压线段VSSW1与第二参考电压线段VSSW2连接的第三参考电压线段VSSW3;第三参考电压线段VSSW3的形状不做限制,例如可以为曲折结构,或者具有多个连接臂的多分支结构;第一参考电压线段VSSW1和第二参考电压线段VSSW2的相邻两端通过第三参考电压线段VSSW3相互连接,进而形成网格。可以理解的是,第三参考电压线段VSSW3的一些部分也可以沿行方向DH延伸或者沿列方向DV延伸。可选的,参见图19,参考电压网格VSSW的镂空孔内设置多个子像素PIX。例如,参考电压网格VSSW的镂空孔内可以设置有四个子像素PIX。在一种示例中,同行相邻的四个子像素PIX位于同一镂空内。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图19,参考电压网格VSSW具有沿列方向DV延伸的第一参考电压线段VSSW1;沿所述行方向DH,第一参考电压线段VSSW1位于蓝色子像素BPIX和红色子像素RPIX之间;其中,第一参考电压线段VSSW1与蓝色子像素BPIX之间的距离,小于第一参考电压线段VSSW1与红色子像素RPIX之间的距离。
这样,可以避免参考电压网格VSSW的走线进入蓝色子像素PIX的范围内,避免蓝色子像素PIX的一侧被垫高而影响其平坦性,进而避免发生色偏问题。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图19,所述子像素PIX与所述第二源漏金属层SD2之间具有平坦结构(本申请附图对此未作具体标注),所述平坦结构包括位于所述第二平坦化层PLN2的子膜层和位于第三平坦化层PLN3的子膜层。在该示例中,子像素PIX下方的平坦部包括两层平坦化层,具有较大的厚度和较强的平坦性能,可以使子像素PIX的平坦性更好,降低色偏发生的可能性。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图12,第二源漏金属层SD2具有沿列方向DV延伸的电源电压走线VDDL,电源电压走线VDDL包括沿列方向DV依次设置的遮光部和镂空部(本申请附图中对遮光部和镂空部未做标注),至少一种子像素PIX在第二源漏金属层SD2的正投影位于遮光部上。例如,绿色子像素PIX设置于遮光部上。
本公开实施方式还提供一种显示装置,该显示装置包括上述实施方式的所提供的显示面板。
该显示装置可以为智能手机屏幕、智能手表屏幕或者其他类型的显示装置。由于该显示装置具有上述显示面板实施方式所描述的任意一种显示面板,因此具有相同的有益效果,本公开在此不再赘述。
