1, in a first aspect, the first embodiment of the present application provides a display module 100. The display module 100 includes a first substrate 110, a first pixel-driving circuit module 120, a light-emitting module 130, and a first packaging structure 140. The first pixel-driving circuit module 120 is disposed on a side of the first substrate 110, and including at least one first pixel-driving circuit 121. The light-emitting module 130 is disposed on a side of the first pixel-driving circuit module 120 away from the first substrate 110, and including at least one light-emitting unit 131 corresponding to the first pixel-driving circuit 121. The first packaging structure 140 is disposed on a side of the first substrate 110 facing the first pixel-driving circuit module 120, and covering the first pixel-driving circuit module 120 and the light-emitting module 130. The display module 100 further includes a first terminal module 150. The first terminal module 150 is disposed on a side of the first substrate 110 away from the first pixel-driving circuit module 120, and including at least one first terminal group 151. The first terminal group 151 corresponds to the first pixel-driving circuit 121. The first terminal group 151 is provided with a plurality of first terminals 1511. The first substrate 110 includes a plurality of first via holes 111. The plurality of first terminals 1511 in the first terminal group 151 are electrically connected with the first pixel-driving circuit 121 through the plurality of first via holes 111.
When the display module 100 provided by the present application is applied in a display panel 10, since the first terminals 1511 electrically connected with the first pixel-driving circuit 121 are disposed on the side of the first substrate 110 away from the first pixel-driving circuit 121. Therefore, bonding positions of the display module 100 in the display panel 10 may be freely selected according to actual needs, so that the first pixel-driving circuit 121 may be freely disposed on any area of a display area AA of the display panel 10 by taking the display module 100 as a unit, thereby greatly reducing development cost of the display panel 10 and improving design freedom of the display panel 10.
Furthermore, in the display module 100 provided by the first embodiment of the present application, a number of the first pixel-driving circuit 121 in the first pixel-driving circuit module 120 is one, a number of the light-emitting unit 131 in the light-emitting module 130 is one, and a number of the first terminal group 151 in the first terminal module 150 is one. Since in the display module 100 of this structure, the number of the first pixel-driving circuit 121, the number of the light-emitting unit 131, and the number of the first terminal group 151 are all one, so the design freedom of the display panel 10 including a quality of display modules 100 may be maximized.
In the display modules 100 provided by the present application, since in the first terminal group 151, the connecting lines from the center of one of the plurality of first terminals 1511 to the centers of the the other two of the plurality of first terminals 1511 are parallel to the first direction X and the second direction Y respectively, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. Therefore, the display module 100 may be applied in the display panel 10 as an independent unit, so that a bonding difficulty between the display module 100 and the driving backplate 200 in the display panel 10 is greatly reduced, a design difficulty of wirings of the driving backplate 200 is reduced, and it is easy to determine an arrangement direction of the display module 100 through a plurality of first bonding terminals in the first terminal group 151, so as to improve an assembly efficiency of the display module 100.
Continuing to refer to
In the present application, the connecting line from the center of the first power signal terminal 1511-C to the center of the data line terminal 1511-A is parallel to the first direction X. The connecting line from the center of the first power signal terminal 1511-C to the center of the second power signal terminal 1511-D is parallel to the second direction Y, so that the arrangement direction of the display module 100 may be determined by the first power signal terminal 1511-C, the data line terminal 1511-A, and the second power signal terminal 1511-D, the bonding difficulty between the display module 100 and the driving backplate 200 in the display panel 10 is greatly reduced, and the design difficulty of the wirings of the driving backplate 200 is reduced.
For example, in the display module 100 provided by the present application, the light-emitting unit 131 is driven by only one of the first pixel-driving circuit 121 corresponding to the light-emitting unit 131. The first pixel-driving circuit 121 is 2T1C pixel-driving circuit. The first pixel-driving circuit 121 includes a first thin film transistor T1, a second thin film transistor T2, and a first capacitor C1. The first terminal group 151 includes four first terminals, and the four first terminals are respectively the data line terminal 1511-A, the scanning line terminal 1511-B, the first power signal terminal 1511-C, and the second power signal terminal 1511-D. The display panel 10 includes the driving backplate 200. The driving backplate 200 includes a data line DATA, a scanning line SCAN, a first power line VDD, and a second power line VSS.

Specifically, in a prior art, the wiring layer 220 and the pixel-driving circuit are sequentially stacked on a same substrate 210, so that the wiring layer 220 may merely be manufactured by a film-forming process, an exposure process, a development process, and an etching process. A thickness of the wirings formed by those processes is very limited, and a maximum thickness of the wirings may merely reach 1 μm, resulting in a large resistance of the metal wirings and a problem of uneven brightness of the display panel 10.
In the display panel 10 in the embodiment of the present application, since the wiring layer 220 is integrated into the driving backplane 200, the driving backplane 200 may be manufactured separately from the display modules 100. Therefore, the wiring layer 220 and the first pixel-driving circuit 121 may be formed by different processes. For example, the wiring layer 220 with a larger thickness may be formed by a thick metal preparation process such as an electroplating process, an electroless plating process, or a printing process, thereby greatly reducing a resistance of the first wirings, improving the problem of uneven brightness of the display panel 10, and improving the display quality of the display panel 10. Optionally, the thickness of the wiring layer 220 of the display panel 10 is greater than or equal to 10 μm, such as 10 μm, 13 μm, 15 μm, 18 μm, or 20 μm.
Furthermore, the first terminals 1511 of the display modules 100 are electrically connected with the first wirings of the driving backplane 200 by welding. For example, the display modules 100 are welded on the driving backplane 200 by Surface mounted technology (SMT), so that the first wirings are electrically connected with the first pixel-driving circuit 121 through the first terminals 1511.
In the present application, welding positions may be freely selected, so that the display modules 100 are disposed in any area corresponding to the display area AA of the driving backplate 200 to improve the design freedom of the display panel 10.
In some embodiments of the present application, the display panel 10 further includes a sealing structure layer 300. The sealing structure layer 300 is disposed on a side of the driving backplate 200 facing the display modules 100, and the sealing structure layer 300 covers the wiring layer 220 and the display modules 100.

There are differences in that, in the display module 100, the first pixel-driving circuit module 120 includes a plurality of first pixel-driving circuits 121, and the first terminal module 150 includes a plurality of first terminal groups 151.
Specifically, in the display module 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, since the first pixel-driving circuit module 120 includes the plurality of first pixel-driving circuits 121, and the plurality of first pixel-driving circuits 121 correspond to the light-emitting units 131.

That is, the plurality of first terminal groups 151 corresponding to the plurality of first pixel-driving circuits 121 arranged at intervals along the same direction share three first terminals 1511, thereby greatly reducing a number of the first terminals 1511 in the display module 100 and reducing the bonding difficulty of the display module 100.
