The active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) display device has the advantages of long service life, high display brightness, large contrast and wide color gamut.
The organic light emitting diode display device with active matrix organic light emitting diodes as light emitting elements is thinner and lighter than the conventional liquid crystal display device. The organic light emitting diode display device also has the characteristics of fast response speed, wide viewing angle and low voltage driving. Therefore, the organic light emitting diode display device can be widely used in cellular phones, portable information terminals, televisions and monitors. The organic light emitting diode display device mainly includes a cathode, a light emitting layer and an anode. In the active matrix organic light emitting diode display device, each sub-pixel has a switching transistor and a driving transistor.

At present, widely used display devices include thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD), active matrix organic light emitting diode display (AMOLED) and so on. The AMOLED display device has the advantages of long service life, high display brightness, large contrast and wide color gamut. Usually, the AMOLED display device includes a planarization film arranged on a pixel driving circuit, and the flatness of the planarization film has a great influence on the performance of the AMOLED display device. By adjusting the ratio of a capacitor area to a pixel area of each sub-pixel, setting the numerical value of the ratio of the capacitor area to the pixel area and a corresponding size relationship, the flatness of the planarization film on the pixel driving circuit can be improved, and the flatness of the planarization film can also be improved by adjusting the line width of each signal line and the spacing between adjacent signal lines.
At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display panel including a base substrate, an active layer, a gate electrode and a source-drain electrode layer which are sequentially stacked on the base substrate, and a planarization layer arranged at a side of the source-drain electrode layer away from the base substrate, an orthographic projection of the gate electrode on the base substrate is located within orthographic projections of the source-drain electrode layer and the active layer on the base substrate, and in a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the base substrate, a thickness of the source-drain electrode layer is greater than a thickness of the gate electrode. By designing the gate electrode, the source-drain electrode layer and the active layer to have the above structural relationship, the flatness of the planarization layer above the source-drain electrode layer can be improved, that is, the surface of the planarization layer can be made flatter, so as to improve the display effect of the display panel.
For example,
For example, through the design in
For example,
For example,
For example, as illustrated by
For example, the orthographic projection of the gate electrode with the smallest orthographic projection area on the base substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the source-drain electrode layer on the base substrate, that is, the source-drain electrode layer is located directly above the gate electrode and cover the whole gate electrode, which can make the flatness of the planarization layer corresponding to the pixel area smaller.
For example, as illustrated by
It should be noted that, in
For example, as illustrated by
For example, as illustrated by
For example, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the display panel 100 further includes a plurality of data lines 114, which are arranged in the same layer as the source-drain electrode layer 104, and are electrically connected with corresponding second source-drain electrodes 1042. For example, as illustrated by
For example, as illustrated by
For example, setting the first source-drain electrode 1041 with the above structure is beneficial to improving the flatness of the planarization layer 105, that is, reducing the roughness of the planarization layer 105, so that the flatness of the first electrode 112 and the flatness of the light emitting layer and organic functional layers provided on the first electrode 112 can be improved, and the uniformity of light emitted by the light emitting element can be improved.
It should be noted that the first source-drain electrode is used as an electrode of the storage capacitor, and the first source-drain electrode has an integral structure and a large area, so that the first source-drain electrode can cover a large area of pixel area, and the thickness of the first source-drain electrode exceeds 500 nm, so that the flatness of the planarization layer can be improved. Moreover, the larger the metal area of the first source-drain electrode, the better the flatness of the planarization layer is improved. The planar shape of the first source-drain electrode can be rectangular, square or irregular shape, as long as the planar shape of the first source-drain electrode can match the planar shape of the pixel area, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in one example, the planar area of the first source-drain electrode is larger than the planar area of the gate electrode, and the orthographic projection of the gate electrode on the base substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first source-drain electrode layer on the base substrate, and the edge of the first source-drain electrode layer exceeds the edge of the gate electrode.
It should also be noted that only a part of the layer structure of the display panel is shown in
For example, forming the display panel 100 in
For example, in one example, with reference to
For example, from the above example, it can be seen that the thickness of the source-drain metal layer is relatively large, and the source-drain metal layer can reduce the unevenness and un-flatness of the thin film of the wiring and pixel structure located at a side of the source-drain metal layer close to the base substrate, so that the flatness of the planarization layer at the side of the source-drain electrode layer away from the base substrate can be improved.
For example,
For example, in
It should be noted that in
For example,
It should be noted that, in the AMOLED display device, because the red light emitting material, the green light emitting material and the blue light emitting material have different light emitting efficiency and service life, the red sub-pixel driving circuit driving the red sub-pixel to emit light, the green sub-pixel driving circuit driving the green sub-pixel to emit light, and the blue sub-pixel driving circuit driving the blue sub-pixel to emit light in the pixel array have different storage capacitor areas, and/or a red sub-pixel driving transistor for driving the red sub-pixel to emit light, a green sub-pixel driving transistor for driving the green sub-pixel to emit light, and a blue sub-pixel driving transistor for driving the blue sub-pixel to emit light are all different in size and area, so that different driving currents can be provided for the red light emitting material, the green light emitting material and the blue light emitting material respectively, and different storage capacitances can be provided when the red sub-pixel driving transistor, the green sub-pixel driving transistor and the blue sub-pixel driving transistor keep different driving currents. For example, at present, the service life of blue AMOLED is shorter than the service life of red AMOLED and the service life of green AMOLED, so it can be considered that the required color characteristics, such as white balance, can be obtained by increasing the light emitting area of blue sub-pixel after reducing the driving current of the blue sub-pixel driving transistor. For example, the first color sub-pixel 121, the second color sub-pixel 122 and the third color sub-pixel 123 in the above can be red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel and blue sub-pixel, respectively.
For example,
For example, as illustrated by
The embodiment of the present disclosure improves the flatness of the planarization layer by adjusting a ratio of the area of each sub-pixel to the area of the first source-drain electrode corresponding to each sub-pixel.
For example, a ratio of the area Sm of the storage capacitor to the area Sp of the pixel area is defined as an area ratio: Fm=Sm/Sp. The area of the storage capacitor can be the area of the source-drain electrode layer. For example, in one example, the area of the storage capacitor corresponding to a first color sub-pixel (for example, a red sub-pixel) is smaller than or equal to the area of the storage capacitor corresponding to a second color sub-pixel (for example, a green sub-pixel), and the area of the storage capacitor corresponding to a second color sub-pixel (for example, the green sub-pixel) is smaller than the area of the storage capacitor corresponding to a third color sub-pixel (for example, a blue sub-pixel). The area ratio of the first color sub-pixel (for example, red sub-pixel) is greater than or equal to the area ratio of the second color sub-pixel (for example, the green sub-pixel), and the area ratio of the second color sub-pixel (for example, the green sub-pixel) is greater than the area ratio of the third color sub-pixel (for example, the blue sub-pixel).
It should be noted that the area Sp of the pixel area includes the area of the storage capacitor, but does not include the area of the signal lines.
It should also be noted that the metal film electrode of the storage capacitor away from the base substrate can be the first source-drain electrode, and the first source-drain electrode is covered by a planarization layer, the planarization layer may or may not be in direct contact with the first source-drain electrode. The flatness of the planarization layer is defined as Fp=(hmax−hmin)/TPLN, where hmax is the height of the highest point of the planarization layer, hmin is the height of the lowest point of the planarization layer, and TPLN is the thickness of the planarization layer. For example, taking the case where the first color sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel, the second color sub-pixel is a green sub-pixel and the third color sub-pixel is a blue sub-pixel as an example, corresponding to the sub-pixels with different colors, the relationship between the flatness Fp of the planarization layer satisfies: FP3≥FP2≥FP1, where FP1 is the flatness of the planarization layer corresponding to the first color sub-pixel and FP2 is the flatness of the planarization layer corresponding to the second color sub-pixel, FP3 is the flatness of the planarization layer corresponding to the second color sub-pixel.
For example, in one example, the area ratio Fm1 of the first color sub-pixel is 62.3333, and the flatness FP1 of the planarization layer corresponding to the first color sub-pixel is 1.2546; the area ratio Fm2 of the second color sub-pixel is 59.2626, and the flatness FP2 of the planarization layer corresponding to the second color sub-pixel is 1.4906; the area ratio Fm3 of the third color sub-pixel is 39.6856, and the flatness FP3 of the planarization layer corresponding to the third color sub-pixel is 2.0768.
For example, after fitting, it is found that the flatness of the planarization layer corresponding to the sub-pixels with different colors increases with the decrease of the area ratio of the sub-pixels. After fitting in different ways, it is found that polynomial precision>linear precision>exponential precision>logarithmic precision>power fitting precision, and the polynomial formed after polynomial fitting is y=−24.795x2+55.055x+32.289, and the determination coefficient R2=1.
For example, in one example, the plurality of sub-pixels 120 are arranged in an array. In a row direction of sub-pixel arrangement, that is, in the direction along the X axis in
For example, in one example, the plurality of sub-pixels 120 are arranged in an array. In a row direction of sub-pixel arrangement, that is, in the direction along the X axis in
It should be noted that the direction parallel to the Y axis is a column direction of sub-pixel arrangement, and the direction parallel to the Z axis is the direction perpendicular to the main surface of the base substrate 101.
For example, in one example, the first color sub-pixel 121, the second color sub-pixel 122 and the third color sub-pixel 123 are red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel and blue sub-pixels, respectively. The first color sub-pixel 121 has a first sub-pixel area SP1, the second color sub-pixel 122 has a second sub-pixel area SP2, and the third color sub-pixel 123 has a third sub-pixel area SP3, F1=SM1/SP1, F2=SM2/SP2, F3=SM3/SP3, F1, F2 and F3 are the area ratios of the first source-drain electrode 1041a corresponding to the first color sub-pixel 121, the first source-drain electrode 1041b corresponding to the second color sub-pixel 122 and the first source-drain electrode 1041c corresponding to the third color sub-pixel 123, respectively, and F1 is greater than or equal to F2, and F2 is greater than F3, that is, the area ratios of the first source-drain electrode 1041 corresponding to the sub-pixels 120 of different colors are different.
For example, in the display panel provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the area ratio F1 of the first source-drain electrode 1041a corresponding to the first color sub-pixel 121, the area ratio F2 of the first source-drain electrode 1041b corresponding to the second color sub-pixel 122 and the area ratio F3 of the first source-drain electrode 1041c corresponding to the third color sub-pixel 123 are 55%, 50% and 30% respectively.
For example, in one example, different portions of the planarization layer 105 at different positions have different flatness, and the flatness of the planarization layer 105 increases with the decrease of the area ratios of the first source-drain electrodes 1041 corresponding to the sub-pixels 120, that is, the flatness of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the red sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel is different.
For example, in one example, the first flatness FP1 of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the first color sub-pixel 121 is less than or equal to the second flatness FP2 of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the second color sub-pixel 122, and the second flatness FP2 of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the second color sub-pixel 122 is less than or equal to the third flatness FP3 of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the third color sub-pixel 123.
For example, in one example, the first flatness FP1=(H1−H1′)/T, the second flatness FP2=(H2−H2′)/T, and the third flatness FP3=(H3−H3′)/T, where H1 and H1′ are the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the first color sub-pixel 121, respectively, H2 and H2′ are the maximum thickness and minimum thickness of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the second color sub-pixel 122, respectively; H3 and H3′ are the maximum thickness and minimum thickness of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the third color sub-pixel 123, respectively; and T is the average thickness of the planarization layer 105, that is, the thicknesses of different portions of the planarization layer 105 at different positions are measured, and then the average thickness is calculated to obtain the above-mentioned T.
For example, in one example, the following formula can be obtained: |(FP1−FP2)/(FP1+FP2)|*100%≤10%, |(FP1−FP3)/(FP1+FP3)|*100%≤10%, |(FP2−FP3)/(FP2+FP3)|*100%≤10%.
For example, in one example, the formula obtained by polynomial fitting the average flatness x of the planarization layer 105 with the area ratio y of the first source-drain electrode 1041 corresponding to each sub-pixel 120 is y=ax2+bx+c, and a ranges from 0 to 30, b ranges from 20 to 60, and c ranges from 0 to 40.
For example, the formula obtained by polynomial fitting the average flatness x of the planarization layer 105 and the area ratio y of the first source-drain electrode 1041 corresponding to each sub-pixel 120 is y=−10.541x2+37.449x+7.7342, and the determination coefficient R2=1.
For example, in one example, the sizes of the first flatness FP1, the second flatness FP2 and the third flatness FP3 are 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%, respectively.
For example,
It should be noted that, in the AMOLED display device, because the red light emitting material, the green light emitting material and the blue light emitting material have different light emitting efficiency and service life, the red sub-pixel driving circuit driving the red sub-pixel to emit light, the green sub-pixel driving circuit driving the green sub-pixel to emit light, and the blue sub-pixel driving circuit driving the blue sub-pixel to emit light in the pixel array have different storage capacitor areas, and/or a red sub-pixel driving transistor for driving the red sub-pixel to emit light, a green sub-pixel driving transistor for driving the green sub-pixel to emit light, and a blue sub-pixel driving transistor for driving the blue sub-pixel to emit light are all different in size and area, so that different driving currents can be provided for the red light emitting material, the green light emitting material and the blue light emitting material respectively, and different storage capacitances can be provided when the red sub-pixel driving transistor, the green sub-pixel driving transistor and the blue sub-pixel driving transistor keep different driving currents. For example, at present, the service life of blue AMOLED is shorter than the service life of red AMOLED and the service life of green AMOLED, so it can be considered that the required color characteristics, such as white balance, can be obtained by increasing the light emitting area of blue sub-pixel after reducing the driving current of blue sub-pixel driving transistor. For example, the first color sub-pixel 121, the second color sub-pixel 122 and the third color sub-pixel 123 in the above can be red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel and blue sub-pixel, respectively.
For example,
For example, as illustrated by
The embodiment of the present disclosure improves the flatness of the planarization layer by adjusting a ratio of the area of each sub-pixel to the area of the first source-drain electrode corresponding to each sub-pixel.
For example, a ratio of the area Sm of the storage capacitor to the area Sp of the pixel area is defined as an area ratio: Fm=Sm/Sp. The area of the storage capacitor can be the area of the source-drain electrode layer. For example, in one example, the area of the storage capacitor corresponding to a second color sub-pixel (for example, a green sub-pixel) is smaller than or equal to the area of a first color sub-pixel (for example, a red sub-pixel), and the area of the storage capacitor corresponding to a first color sub-pixel (for example, a red sub-pixel) is smaller than the area of the storage capacitor corresponding to a third color sub-pixel (for example, a blue sub-pixel). The area ratio of the second color sub-pixel (for example, the green sub-pixel) is greater than or equal to the area ratio of the first color sub-pixel (for example, the red sub-pixel), and the area ratio of the first color sub-pixel (for example, the red sub-pixel) is greater than the area ratio of the third color sub-pixel (for example, blue sub-pixel).
It should be noted that the area Sp of the pixel area includes the area of the storage capacitor, but does not include the area of the signal lines.
It should also be noted that the metal film electrode of the storage capacitor away from the base substrate can be the first source-drain electrode, and the first source-drain electrode is covered with a planarization layer, which may or may not be in direct contact with the first source-drain electrode. The flatness of the planarization layer is defined as Fp=(hmax−hmin)/TPLN, where hmax is the height of the highest point of the planarization layer, hmin is the height of the lowest point of the planarization layer, and TPLN is the thickness of the planarization layer. For example, taking the case where the first color sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel, the second color sub-pixel is a green sub-pixel and the third color sub-pixel is a blue sub-pixel as an example, corresponding to the sub-pixels with different colors, the relationship between the flatness Fp of the planarization layer satisfies: Fp3≥Fp1≥Fp2, where FP1 is the flatness of the planarization layer corresponding to the first color sub-pixel and FP2 is the flatness of the planarization layer corresponding to the second color sub-pixel, FP3 is the flatness of the planarization layer corresponding to the second color sub-pixel.
For example, in one example, the area ratio Fm2 of the second color sub-pixel is 62.3333, and the flatness FP2 of the planarization layer corresponding to the second color sub-pixel is 1.2546; the area ratio Fm1 of the first color sub-pixel is 59.2626, and the flatness FP1 of the planarization layer corresponding to the first color sub-pixel is 1.4906; the area ratio Fm3 of the third color sub-pixel is 39.6856, and the flatness FP3 of the planarization layer corresponding to the third color sub-pixel is 2.0768.
For example, after fitting, it is found that the flatness of the planarization layer corresponding to the sub-pixels with different colors increases with the decrease of the area ratio of the sub-pixels. After fitting in different ways, it is found that polynomial precision>linear precision>exponential precision>logarithmic precision>power fitting precision, and the polynomial formed after polynomial fitting is y=−24.795x2+55.055x+32.289, and the determination coefficient R2=1.

The first color sub-pixel 121 has a first sub-pixel area SP1, the second color sub-pixel 122 has a second sub-pixel area SP2, and the third color sub-pixel 123 has a third sub-pixel area SP3, F1=SM1/SP1, F2=SM2/SP2, F3=SM3/SP3, F1, F2 and F3 are the area ratios of the first source-drain electrode 1041a corresponding to the first color sub-pixel 121, the first source-drain electrode 1041b corresponding to the second color sub-pixel 122 and the first source-drain electrode 1041c corresponding to the third color sub-pixel 123, respectively, and F2 is greater than or equal to F1, and F1 is greater than F3, that is, the area ratios of the first source-drain electrode 1041 corresponding to the sub-pixels 120 of different colors are different.
For example, in the display panel provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the area ratio F2 of the first source-drain electrode 1041b corresponding to the second color sub-pixel 122, the area ratio F1 of the first source-drain electrode 1041a corresponding to the first color sub-pixel 121, and the area ratio F3 of the first source-drain electrode 1041c corresponding to the third color sub-pixel 123 are 55%, 50% and 30%, respectively.

For example, in one example, the first flatness FP1=(H1−H1′)/T, the second flatness FP2=(H2−H2′)/T, and the third flatness FP3=(H3−H3′)/T, where H1 and H1′ are the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the first color sub-pixel 121, respectively, H2 and H2′ are the maximum thickness and minimum thickness of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the second color sub-pixel 122, respectively; H3 and H3′ are the maximum thickness and minimum thickness of the planarization layer 105 corresponding to the third color sub-pixel 123, respectively; and T is the average thickness of the planarization layer 105, that is, the thicknesses of different positions of the planarization layer 105 are measured, and then the average thickness is calculated to obtain the above-mentioned T.

For example, in one example, the sizes of the second flatness FP2, the first flatness FP1 and the third flatness FP3 are 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%, respectively.
For example,
It should be noted that the area of the pixel area corresponding to the third color sub-pixel 123 is the largest, and the width of the power voltage signal line 127 in the direction where the sub-pixels are arranged in the X-axis direction is relatively wide, so the power voltage signal line 127 is suitable to be arranged at the position corresponding to the third color sub-pixel 123 with a large area.

For example, in one example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 2 to 4 times the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b. For example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 2 times, 3 times or 4 times the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present disclosure.
For example, in one example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a ranges from 10 microns to 30 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b ranges from 2 microns to 20 microns. For example, in one example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 10 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 5 microns; in another example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 16 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 8 microns; in another example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 22 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 11 microns; in another example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 30 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 15 microns, that is, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is twice the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b.
For example, in one example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 12 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 4 microns; in another example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 15 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 5 microns; in another example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 30 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 10 microns, that is, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is three times that of the second power voltage signal line 127b.
For example, in one example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 12 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 3 microns; in another example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 16 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 4 microns; in yet another example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 20 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 5 microns; in another example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 24 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 6 microns; in another example, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is 28 microns, and the width of the second power voltage signal line 127b is 7 microns, that is, the width of the first power voltage signal line 127a is four times that of the second power voltage signal line 127b.
For example,

For example, as illustrated by
For example, the first power voltage signal line 127a has a whole layer structure, and the larger width of the first power voltage signal line 127a can make the current flow in a larger area, so that the working efficiency of the power voltage signal line 127 can be higher.
For example, as illustrated by
For example, in combination with
For example, as illustrated by
For example, as illustrated by
For example, the first sub-data line 114a has a whole layer structure, and the larger width of the first sub-data line 114a can make the current flow in a larger area, thus making the working efficiency of the data line 114 higher.
For example, as illustrated by
It should be noted that the stacked structure of the first sub-data line 114a and the second sub-data line 14b may be a data line corresponding to the third color sub-pixel 123, or a data line corresponding to the first color sub-pixel 121 or a data line corresponding to the second color sub-pixel 122, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present disclosure.
For example, as illustrated by
For example, in the display panel provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, in the same data line 114, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 2 to 4 times the width of the second sub-data line 114b, for example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 2, 3 or 4 times that of the second sub-data line 114b.
For example, in one example, in the same data line 114, the width of the first sub-data line 114a ranges from 2 microns to 20 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b ranges from 2 microns to 10 microns. This range can reduce the resistance of the data line 114 and increase the flow area of the current on the data line 114.
For example, in one example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 4 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 2 microns; in another example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 10 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 5 microns; in yet another example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 16 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 8 microns; in yet another example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 20 microns and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 10 microns, so that the width of the first sub-data line 114a is twice that of the second sub-data line 114b.
For example, in one example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 6 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 2 microns; in another example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 12 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 4 microns; in yet another example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 15 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 5 microns; in yet another example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 18 microns and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 6 microns, so that the width of the first sub-data line 114a is three times that of the second sub-data line 114b.
For example, in one example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 8 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 2 microns; in another example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 12 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 3 microns; in yet another example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 16 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 4 microns; in yet another example, the width of the first sub-data line 114a is 20 microns, and the width of the second sub-data line 114b is 5 microns, so that the width of the first sub-data line 114a is four times that of the second sub-data line 114b.
For example, the planar shape of the first sub-data line 114a is an inverted “L” shape, and the first sub-data line 114a is electrically connected with the second source-drain electrode 1042 through a horizontal line extending from a vertical line.
For example, as illustrated by

For example, R2 is a numerical value ranging from 0 to 1, when the R2 of the trend line is equal to or close to 1, its reliability is the highest, and on the contrary, the reliability is lower. R2 is also called the determining coefficient. The calculation method of R2 is provided as follows: R2=sum of regression squares (ssreg)/sum of total squares (sstotal), where sum of regression squares=sum of total squares-sum of residual squares (ssresid), polynomial precision>linear precision>exponential precision>logarithmic precision>power fitting precision.
For example, the coefficient symbols of polynomial fitting are the same, and the roughness of the planarization layer increases with the decrease of the area ratio of capacitor/pixel. The data show that the planarization layer of the capacitor areas of red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel and blue sub-pixel has different flatness Fp. And, the flatness of the planarization layer corresponding to different sub-pixels satisfies that the first flatness FP1 of the planarization layer corresponding to the red sub-pixel is less than or equal to the second flatness FP2 of the planarization layer corresponding to the green sub-pixel, and the second flatness FP2 of the planarization layer corresponding to the green sub-pixel is less than or equal to the third flatness FP3 of the planarization layer corresponding to the blue sub-pixel. The electrode widths of the storage capacitors in pixel areas corresponding to the red sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel satisfy that the electrode width of storage capacitor corresponding to the red sub-pixel is less than or equal to that of the storage capacitor corresponding to the green sub-pixel, and the electrode width of the storage capacitor corresponding to the green sub-pixel is less than or equal to that of the storage capacitor corresponding to the blue sub-pixel. The data shows that the planarization layers corresponding to the red sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel have different flatness, which satisfies | (Fi−Fj)/(Fi+Fj)|*100%≤10%, where i and j both represent one of the red sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel. The flatness x of the planarization layer and the area ratio y of the electrode satisfy y=ax2+bx+c, where a<0, b>0 and c>0, and a ranges from 0 to −30, b ranges from 20 to 60, c ranges from 0 to 40, y is an analog value, and y_real is a measured value, in which |y−y_real|/y_real<10%.
For example,
For example, as illustrated by
In addition, because the power voltage signal line 127 and the data line 114 are both arranged in the double-layer structure, small protrusions are formed at the edge of each sub-pixel, thereby increasing the step difference of the bank between adjacent sub-pixels, and the protrusions between adjacent sub-pixels have the functions of condensing light and emitting light. The single-layer structure of the power voltage signal line 127 which is arranged in the same layer as the gate electrode 103 is disconnected in the middle, and the single-layer structure of the data line 114 which is arranged in the same layer as the gate electrode 103 is disconnected in the middle. Both the source-drain electrode layer 104 and the gate electrode 103 can be made of molybdenum metal. Setting the power voltage signal line 127 and the data line 114 into the double-layer structure can prevent the current overheating generated by the high resistance caused by thin lines made of molybdenum metal, the current overheating will lead to the phenomenon of poor electrical signal transmission.

It should be noted that, if the thickness of the source-drain electrode layer 1041 is less than 2.5 times that of the gate electrode 103, even if the source-drain electrode layer 1041 covers the gate electrode 103, the flatness of the planarization layer cannot be improved. If the thickness of the source-drain electrode layer 1041 is more than 7 times that of the gate electrode 103, there will be a problem that the volume of the final formed display panel is too large.

For example, in one example, the line width of the first initial signal line 117 is 4.84 microns, the line width of the second initial signal line 118 is 3.3 microns, the line width of the power voltage connection line 119 is 6.16 microns, the line width of the gate line 115 close to the power voltage connection line 119 is 6.6 microns, the line width of the gate line 115 in the middle position is 3.3 microns, and the line width of the gate line 115 close to the pixel area 116 is 3.96 microns. And the spacing between the first initial signal line 117 and the second initial signal line 118 is 4.4 microns, the spacing between the second initial signal line 118 and the power voltage connection line 119 is 3.3 microns, the spacing between the power voltage connection line 119 and the gate line 115 close to the power voltage connection line 119 is 3.74 microns, and the spacing between the gate line 115 close to the power voltage connection line 119 and the gate line 115 in the middle is 5.06 microns, the spacing between the gate line 115 in the middle and the gate line 115 close to the pixel area 116 is 4.4 microns. Of course, the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the above-mentioned line width and spacing can be other values.
For example,
For example, the relationship between the fluctuation and the line width spacing ratio is as follows.
The polynomial fitting relationship is: y=−6.19x3+5.4433x2+0.7979x+0.9289, R2=0.9699;
Power function: y=2.1923x0.2702, R2=0.7982;
Logarithmic function: y=0.4844ln(x)+2.1641, R2=0.7889;
Exponential function: y=1.41e0.4867x, R2=0.7218;
Linear function: y=0.8717x+1.3734, R2=0.7125.
From the above relationship, it can be concluded that the fluctuation slope of the planarization layer 105 in the metal wiring area increases with the increase of the line width spacing ratio, and when the line width spacing ratio exceeds 0.6, the fluctuation slope of the planarization layer decreases with the increase of the line width spacing ratio, because when the line width spacing ratio of the metal lines approaches 0.5, the metal lines will cause the roughness of the planarization layer on the metal lines to be the largest, which leads to the largest fluctuation of the planarization layer on metal lines.

For example, in one example, the width of the first sub-initial signal line connection 130a is 9 microns, and the width of the second sub-initial signal line connection 130b is 3 microns; the width of the first sub-initial signal line connection line 130a is 12 microns, and the width of the second sub-initial signal line connection line 130b is 4 microns; the width of the first sub-initial signal line connection line 130a is 15 microns, and the width of the second sub-initial signal line connection line 130b is 5 microns; the width of the first sub-initial signal line connection line 130a is 18 microns, and the width of the second sub-initial signal line connection line 130b is 6 microns, so that the width of the first sub-initial signal line connection line 130a is three times that of the second sub-initial signal line connection line 130b.

For example, the evaporation process can form thin films or small molecules layer by layer on the base substrate by physical deposition, so the uniformity of the printing process is worse than that of the evaporation process. Usually, the light emitting layer is formed on the structure in which the first electrode/planarization layer/thin film transistor are sequentially stacked. Therefore, the light emitting layer formed by evaporation process has good conformal characteristics, and has the same or very close thickness everywhere on the above-mentioned stacked structure. In the printing process, a liquid with fluid properties and viscous viscosity is dripped through the nozzle, so the concave part and the convex part in the stacked structure will form different thicknesses, resulting in poor uniformity of film thickness. However, the structure of light emitting layers with different thicknesses at different positions may lead to inconsistent light emitting characteristics and color deviation. In order to improve the above characteristics, the embodiment of the present disclosure adjusts the arrangement and line width of signal lines in different color pixel areas.
That is, the embodiment of the present disclosure improves the flatness of the planarization layer by adjusting the line widths of various signal lines, such as the first initial signal line, the second initial signal line, the power voltage connection line and the gate line or the spacing between adjacent signal lines.

By designing the gate electrode, the source-drain electrode layer and the active layer to have the above-mentioned structural relationship, the flatness of the planarization layer on the source-drain electrode layer can be improved, that is, the surface of the planarization layer can be made flatter, which can improve the display effect of the display panel.
