DETAILED DESCRIPTION
For enabling the person skilled in the art to better understand the schemes of the present disclosure, the technical schemes in embodiments of the present disclosure are described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the embodiments described below are part, rather than all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art on the premise that no creative efforts are made are within the scope of the present disclosure.
It is to be noted that the terms “first”, “second” and the like in the description, claims and the above drawings of the present disclosure are intended to distinguish between similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It is to be appreciated that the data used in this way is interchangeable where appropriate so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein may also be implemented in a sequence besides those sequences illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, terms such as “include”, “have”; and any deformation thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, e.g., a system, product, or apparatus including a series of units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units expressly listed, but may include other units not expressly listed or inherent to such system, product or apparatus.
FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a demultiplexing circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a display panel 10 provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a display region 100 and a non-display region 200. The display region 100 includes multiple data lines 110. The non-display region 200 includes a demultiplexing circuit 210, a fanout wire 230, and a clock signal line 240. Input terminals 210a of the demultiplexing circuit 210 are electrically connected to the fanout wire 230, output terminals 210b of the demultiplexing circuit 210 are electrically connected to the data lines 110, and a control terminal 210c of the demultiplexing circuit 210 is electrically connected to the clock signal line 240. The display panel 10 further includes an isolation signal line 300, the isolation signal line 300 includes an isolation portion 310, and an orthographic projection of the isolation portion 310 on a plane where a substrate 400 is located is between an orthographic projection of the clock signal line 240 on the plane where the substrate 400 is located and an orthographic projection of the fanout wire on the plane where the substrate 400 is located.
Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the display panel 10 includes the display region 100 and the non-display region 200. The display region 100 includes multiple sub-pixels, multiple pixel circuits (not shown in the drawings) and multiple data lines 110, display signals are transmitted to the pixel circuits through the data lines 110, and the pixel circuits drive the sub-pixels to emit light, thereby ensuring the display effect of the display region.
For example, the sub-pixels in the display region 100 may be organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), mini light-emitting diodes (LEDs), micro LEDs, quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLED) or liquid crystal sub-pixels, etc., which are not limited in the similar embodiments of the present disclosure. The sub-pixels may include red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, and blue sub-pixels. The arrangement of sub-pixels of different colors may be a diamond pixel arrangement, and may also be a standard red/green/blue (RGB) arrangement, a delta pixel arrangement, a pearl pixel arrangement, a 2in1 pixel arrangement, or the like. The arrangement of the sub-pixels is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.
For example, the pixel circuit for electrically connecting the sub-pixels may be a “2T1C” circuit, a “7T1C” circuit, a “7T2C” circuit, or the like. The “2T1C circuit” refers to that the pixel circuit includes two thin-film transistors (T) and one capacitor (C), and the “7T1C” circuit and “7T2C” circuit may be deduced by analogy. The number of thin-film transistors and capacitors in the pixel circuit may be set by the person skilled in the art according to practical requirements, which is not further described and limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.
The non-display region 200 at least partially surrounds the display region 100, and the non-display region 200 may be a lower bezel region of the display panel 10. The non-display region 200 includes a demultiplexing circuit 210, a fanout wire 230 and a clock signal line 240. The demultiplexing circuit 210 is electrically connected to the fanout wire 230, the clock signal line 240 and the data lines 110, respectively, so as to realize that one fanout wire 230 may be electrically connected to multiple data lines 110, thereby facilitating the realization of a narrow bezel design of the display panel 10 while ensuring the display effect of the display panel 10. The demultiplexing circuit 210 is a combinational logic circuit that may assign an input signal transmitted by one input line to any one of multiple individual output lines at a time. Referring to FIG. 3, the demultiplexing circuit 210 may include multiple switch units 211, and each switch unit 211 includes a control terminal, an input terminal and an output terminal. Further, the clock signal line 240 is electrically connected to the control terminal 210c of the demultiplexing circuit 210, which is equivalent to that the clock signal line 240 is electrically connected to the control terminal of a switch unit 211. The fanout wire 230 is electrically connected to the input terminal 210a of the demultiplexing circuit 210, which is equivalent to that the fanout wire 230 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the switch unit 211. The data line 110 is electrically connected to the output terminal 210b of the demultiplexing circuit 210, which is equivalent to that the data line 110 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the switch unit 211. In other words, the clock signal provided by the clock signal line 240 is transmitted to the demultiplexing circuit 210 to control signal transmission and signal blocking of different fanout wires 230 with corresponding multiple data lines 110.
Further, the fanout wire 230 and the clock signal line 240 transmit different signals respectively, for example, the fanout wire 230 transmits a data signal for display, and the clock signal line 240 transmits a clock control signal for controlling the switch units 211 to be turned on or off. When the two types of wires are relatively close to each other, signal coupling is caused between the fanout wire 230 and the clock signal line 240, and interference is generated between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230. In particular, the signal in the fanout wire 230 causes relatively large interference on the clock signal of the clock signal line 240, which adversely affects the accuracy and stability of the signal transmission of both the fanout wire 230 and the clock signal line 240. Based on this, the display panel 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure further includes an isolation signal line 300, and the isolation signal line 300 includes an isolation portion 310 located between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230 in the direction of the projection on the substrate 400. With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the magnitude of the coupling capacitance present between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230 can be reduced, the interference between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230 can be effectively eliminated, the transmission accuracy of the fanout wire 230 and the clock signal line 240 can be improved, and further the display effect of the display panel 10 as a whole can be ensured.
It is to be noted that FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are merely intended to embody the arrangement features of some wires in the non-display region 200, and the occupation ratios of the non-display region 200 and the display region 100 in the drawings do not represent the practical ratios, and it is the same case in the drawings referred subsequently, which is not explained for the drawings one by one.
In summary, in the display panel according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the orthographic projection of the isolation portion on the plane where the substrate is located is between the orthographic projection of the clock signal line on the plane where the substrate is located and the orthographic projection of the fanout wire on the plane where the substrate is located, the isolation portion can block interference between the signals of the clock signal line and the fanout wire, reduce the coupling between the clock signal line and the fanout wire, ensure the stability of overall signal transmission of the display panel, and further ensure display effect of the display panel.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, the display panel 10 includes a first fanout wire group 230a and a second fanout wire group 230b, and each of the first fanout wire group 230a and the second fanout wire group 230b includes multiple fanout wires 230. The display panel 10 further includes a first output terminal group 221a and a second output terminal group 221b, and each of the first output terminal group 221a and the second output terminal group 221b includes multiple outputs bonding terminals 221. The fanout wires 230 in the first fanout wire group 230a are electrically connected to the output bonding terminals 221 of the first output terminal group 221a, and the fanout wires 230 in the second fanout wire group 230b are electrically connected to the output bonding terminals 221 of the second output terminal group 221b. The first output terminal group 221a and the second output terminal group 221b are arranged in a first direction X, and the first direction X is in parallel with the plane on which the substrate 400 is located. In the first direction X, at least a portion of the clock signal line 240 is located between the first output terminal group 221a and the second output terminal group 221b.
Referring to FIG. 2, the display panel 10 includes a first fanout wire group 230a and a second fanout wire group 230b, and the first fanout wire group 230a and the second fanout wire group 230b each include multiple fanout wires 230. The extension directions of the fanout wires 230 in the first fanout wire group 230a and the second fanout wire group 230b may intersect with the first direction X, and the extension direction of the fanout wires in the first fanout wire group 230a intersects with the extension direction of the fanout wires in the second fanout wire group 230b. Further, the display panel 10 further includes multiple output bonding terminals 221, the output bonding terminals 221 can be understood as terminals being in bonding electrical connection with bonding terminals on a driver chip 220 and partially used for outputting display signals (e.g., data signals). Since the driver chip 220 in the drawings may cover the output bonding terminals 221, the output bonding terminals 221 are shown in dashed lines. In an embodiment, the display panel 10 includes the first output terminal group 221a and the second output terminal group 221b, the multiple output bonding terminals 221 included in the first output terminal group 221a are electrically connected to the first fanout wire group 230a, for outputting the display signals through the first fanout wire group 230a to sub-pixels in the display region, and the multiple output bonding terminals 221 included in the second output terminal group 221b are electrically connected to the fanout wires 230 in the second fanout wire group 230b, for outputting the display signals through the second fanout wire group 230b to sub-pixels in the display region. In this manner, the display function of the display region is realized.
Further, with continued reference to FIG. 2, at least a portion of the clock signal line 240 is located between the first output terminal group 221a and the second output terminal group 221b, i.e., the clock signal line 240 is located between the two groups of fanout wires 230. Referring to FIG. 1, when the clock signal line 240 is located on both sides of the fanout wires 230, the clock signal line 240 has a relatively small slope, and occupies a relatively large space in the direction from the display region to the non-display region; when the clock signal line 240 is arranged between the two groups of the fanout wires 230, the clock signal line 240 may be electrically connected to the demultiplexing circuit 210 in the middle, and in this case, the clock signal line 240 has a relatively large slope, and occupies a relatively small space in the direction from the display region to the non-display region. Therefore, the case where the clock signal line 240 with a small slope occupies a large wiring space does not exist, the space occupied by the non-display region of the display panel 10 can be reduced effectively, and the narrow bezel design of the display panel 10 can be effectively realized.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a clock signal terminal 241 arranged in the non-display region, and the clock signal terminal 241 may be electrically connected to the clock signal line 240, to provide a clock signal to the clock signal line 240. It is to be noted that the arrangement position of the clock signal terminal 241 is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the clock signal terminal 241 may not be arranged in the same row as the output bonding terminals 221 connected to the fanout wires 230, as shown in FIG. 2. Alternatively, the clock signal terminal 241 may be arranged in the same row as the output bonding terminals 221 (not shown in the drawings) connected to the fanout wires 230. Further, the clock signal terminal 241 may be arranged between the two output terminal groups, as shown in FIG. 2, in this way, the connection relationship between the clock signal line 240 and the clock signal terminal 241 is relatively simple. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the display panel 10 may include multiple driver chips 220, different driver chips 220 include clock signal terminals 241, and the clock signal lines 240 connected to the clock signal terminals 241 of the different driver chips 220 are also located between the two output terminal groups, and the multiple clock signal lines 240 are converged and connected between the two output terminal groups, and then connected to the demultiplexing circuit 210. By adjusting the arrangement positions of the clock signal terminals 241 and the clock signal lines 240, it is possible to ensure that the overall wiring lengths of the clock signal lines 240 are relatively short, thereby reducing the loss of the signal during transmission. Alternatively, the clock signal terminals may also be arranged at other positions, and the electrical connection relationship between the clock signal lines and the clock signal terminals may be realized by adjusting the wiring manner of the clock signal lines. In this way, the arrangement of the clock signal terminal can be flexible and variable, and can match different display panel designs. The arrangement manner of the clock signal terminals is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.
FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 4, the display panel 10 further includes a first driver chip 220a and a second driver chip 220b, the first driver chip 220a is bound and electrically connected to the first output terminal group 221a, and the second driver chip 220b is bounded and electrically connected to the second output terminal group 221b.
Referring to FIG. 4, the display panel 10 may include a first driver chip 220a and a second driver chip 220b. The first driver chip 220a is bound and electrically connected to output bonding terminals 221 in the first output terminal group 221a, and the second driver chip 220b is bound and electrically connected to output bonding terminals 221 in the second output terminal group 221b. In other words, the multiple output bonding terminals 221 are bound to the two driver chips 220, and the multiple output bonding terminals 221 receive the display signals provided by the two driver chips 220, so that the operation amount of each driver chip can be reduced to improve the overall operation efficiency of the display panel 10, and further ensure the accuracy of the operation, thereby ensuring the transmission effect of the signals, and ensuring the display effect of the display panel 10. In addition, the display panel includes two driver chips, and each driver chip has a small size, so that the technique difficulty and the manufacturing cost of the driver chips can further be reduced.
Further, referring to FIG. 2, the clock signal terminals 241 are provided in the central region of the driver chip 220, or referring to FIG. 4, a clock signal terminal 241 is provided on a side of the first driver chip 220a facing the second driver chip 220b, and a clock signal terminal 241 is provided on a side of the second driver chip 220b facing the first driver chip 220a. The preceding manners may be understood as arranging the clock signal line 240 electrically connected to the clock signal terminal 241 in the central region of the whole, thus ensuring the balance of the clock signal transmission, thereby effectively mitigating the case of the split screen display that may occur on the display panel 10. In an embodiment, if the clock signal lines 240 are placed in the central region of the whole, the signal coupling issue caused by the clock signal lines 240 and the fanout wires 230 may become more serious, and the necessity of arranging the isolation signal line 300 in the display panel 10 may be reflected.
FIG. 5 is a schematic sectional view taken along A-A′ in FIG. 4; referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a film layer in which an isolation portion 310 is located is not out of a range defined by a film layer in which the fanout wire 230 is located and a film layer in which the clock signal line 240 is located.
Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the film layer in which the isolation portion 310 is located is not out of the film layer range defined by the film layer in which the fanout wire 230 is located and the film layer in which the clock signal line 240 is located, which can be understood as that the isolation portion 310 is located in the same layer as at least one of the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230, or the isolation portion 310 is located between the film layer in which the fanout wire 230 is located and the film layer in which the clock signal line 240 is located. That is to say, through the limitation on the film layers in which the fanout wire 230, the clock signal line 240 and the isolation portion 310 are located, it can be ensured that the isolation portion 310 has an isolation effect on the coupling capacitance between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230, thereby ensuring stable transmission of signals in the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230, and ensuring the display effect of the display panel 10.
With the adjustment for the arrangement position of the film layer of the isolation portion 310, the interference between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230 can be effectively avoided, the signal transmission accuracy can be improved, and the display effect can be improved. In an embodiment, FIG. 6 is another schematic sectional view taken along A-A′ in FIG. 4, and FIG. 7 is another schematic sectional view taken along A-A′ in FIG. 4. Referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 7, the isolation portion 310 is arranged in the same layer as the fanout wire 230, and/or the isolation portion 310 is arranged in the same layer as the clock signal line 240.
In an embodiment, the projection of the isolation portion 310 on the substrate 400 is located between the projection of the clock signal line 240 on the substrate 400 and the projection of the fanout wire 230 on the substrate 400. Moreover, in the thickness direction of the display panel 10, the film layer in which the isolation portion 310 is arranged is not out of the range defined by the film layer in which the fanout wire 230 is located and the film layer in which the clock signal line 240 is located, thereby effectively ensuring that the isolation portion 310 plays a role of isolating the signal interference between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230 in different dimensions.
For example, referring to FIG. 5, when the fanout wire 230 and the clock signal line 240 are arranged in the same layer, the isolation portion 310, the fanout wire 230 and the clock signal line 240 are all arranged in the same layer, and an orthographic projection of the isolation portion 310 in the plane where the substrate 400 is located is between an orthographic projection of the clock signal line in the plane where the substrate 400 is located and an orthographic projection of the fanout wire 230 in the plane where the substrate 400 is located. In this way, the isolation and shielding effect of the isolation portion 310 on the signals in the fanout wire 230 and the clock signal line 240 can be ensured, and stable transmission of the signals in the fanout wire 230 and the clock signal line 240 can be ensured. Meanwhile, the same layer arrangement can reduce the film layer thickness of the display panel 10 and facilitate the implementation of a thin design of the display panel 10.
Illustratively, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in a case where the fanout wire 230 and the clock signal line 240 are arranged in different layers, the isolation portion 310 is arranged in the same layer as any one of the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230, the isolation portion 310 and the clock signal line 240 are arranged in the same layer in FIG. 6, and the isolation portion 310 and the fanout wire 230 are arranged in the same layer in FIG. 7, thus the film layer in which the isolation portion 310 is arranged is ensured to be not out of the range defined by the film layer in which the fanout wire 230 is located and the film layer in which the clock signal line 240 is located, thereby reducing the signal interference between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230.
In an embodiment, FIG. 8 is another schematic sectional view taken along A-A′ in FIG. 4. Referring to FIG. 8, the fanout wire 230 is arranged in a different film layer from the film layer in which the clock signal line 240 is arranged, and the film layer in which the isolation portion 310 is located is between the film layer in which the fanout wire 230 is located and the film layer in which the clock signal line 240 is located.
Referring to FIG. 8, in the case where the fanout wire 230 is arranged in a different film layer from the film layer in which the clock signal line 240 is arranged, the isolation portion 310 may be arranged between the film layers in which these two kinds of wires are located. In this manner, it can also ensure that the isolation portion 310 is arranged between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230, the relative spacing between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230 is maximized, and the signal interference between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230 can also be reduced.
On the basis of the embodiments described above, the film layer in which the isolation signal line is located is not limited by the embodiments of the present application. For example, the display panel may include a first metal layer, a second metal layer, a third metal layer, a fourth metal layer, a fifth metal layer and a sixth metal layer. The first metal layer may include a gate of a low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor, the second metal layer may include one of the capacitor substrates of a storage capacitor, the third metal layer may include a gate of an oxide thin-film transistor, the fourth metal layer may include a jumper structure between other metal layers, the fifth metal layer may include a source and a drain of the thin-film transistor, and the sixth metal layer may include connection wires in the structure of fanout wires arranged in the display region. The fanout in AA (FIAA) structure may be understood as that a fanout wire located in the non-display region (e.g., a fanout wire region) is electrically connected to a data signal line in the display region by a connecting wire in the display region, in this way, the number of wires arranged in the fanout wire region can be reduced and the space occupied by the non-display region of the display panel 10 can be reduced. When the fanout wire, the isolation signal line and the clock signal line are arranged in the same layer, the three may be located in any one of the first metal layer to the sixth metal layer mentioned above, for example, the first metal layer, the second metal layer, the third metal layer, the fourth metal layer, or the like. When the isolation signal line is arranged in the same layer as the fanout wire but in a different layer from the clock signal line, the isolation signal line may be located in any one of the first metal layer to the sixth metal layer, and the clock signal line is located in any one of the layers different from the layer of the isolation signal line. For example, the isolation signal line and the fanout wire are located in the first metal layer, and the clock signal line is located in the second metal layer, the third metal layer, the fourth metal layer, or the like. When the isolation signal line is arranged in the same layer as the clock signal line but in a different layer from the fanout wire, the isolation signal line may be located in any one of the first metal layer to the sixth metal layer mentioned above, and the fanout wire is located in any one of the layers different from the layer of the isolation signal line. For example, the isolation signal line and the clock signal line are located in the first metal layer, and the fanout wire is located in the second metal layer, the third metal layer, the fourth metal layer, or the like. When the isolation signal line is located between the film layer where the fanout wire is located and the film layer where the clock signal line is located, the fanout wire, the isolation signal line, and the clock signal line are all arranged in different layers, and it is required to ensure that the isolation signal line is located between the film layer where the fanout wire is located and the film layer where the clock signal line is located. For example, the fanout wire is located in the first metal layer, the isolation signal line is located in the second metal layer, the clock signal line is located in the third metal layer, and for another example, the clock signal line is located in the first metal layer, the isolation signal line is located in the third metal layer, and the fanout wire is located in the fourth metal layer. The film layers where the fanout wire, the isolation signal line, and the clock signal line are located are not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the fanout wire, the isolation signal line, and the clock signal line may be located in the metal layers in an existing display panel, thus ensuring that the film layer arrangement of the fanout wire, the isolation signal line and the clock signal line is simple, and also facilitating the simplicity of the film layer arrangement of the entire display panel.
FIG. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 9, the isolation signal line 300 includes a fixed potential signal line.

The first common voltage signal line 300c1 includes a first isolation portion 300c11, the second common voltage signal line 300c2 includes a second isolation portion 300c21, and the display test signal line 300vt includes a third isolation portion 300vt3. An orthographic projection of the first isolation portion 300c11 on the plane where the substrate 400 is located is between an orthographic projection of the third isolation portion 300vt3 on the plane where the substrate 400 is located and an orthographic projection of the fanout wire 230 on the plane where the substrate 400 is located. An orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 300c21 on the plane where the substrate 400 is located is between the orthographic projection of the third isolation portion 300vt3 on the plane where the substrate 400 is located and an orthographic projection of the clock signal line 240 on the plane where the substrate 400 is located.
Referring to FIG. 11, both the display test signal line 300vt and the common voltage signal line 300c included in the isolation signal line 300 can realize the reduction of signal interference between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230, ensuring the stable display of the display panel 10.
Referring to FIG. 11, the common voltage signal line 300c includes the first common voltage signal line 300c1 and the second common voltage signal line 300c2.

For example, referring to FIG. 11, the first common voltage signal line 300c1 and the second common voltage signal line 300c2 may be connected to the same common signal terminal 330c. In an embodiment, the first common voltage signal line 300c1 and the second common voltage signal line 300c2 may be two wires split from one common voltage signal line 300c, for ensuring shielding effects at different positions. An orthographic projection of the first isolation portion 300c11 on a side of the substrate 400 is located between the third isolation portion 300vt3 and the fanout wire 230, and an orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 300c21 on a side of the substrate 400 is located between the clock signal line 240 and the third isolation portion 300vt3. Multiple wires with fixed potentials are added between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230, so that the signal interference between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230 can be effectively prevented to ensure the display effect of the display panel 10.
It is to be noted that when the isolation signal line includes the display test signal line and the common voltage signal line, and the common voltage signal line includes the first common voltage signal line 300c1 and the second common voltage signal line 300c2, the first common voltage signal line 300c1 includes the first isolation portion 300c11 located between the display test signal line 300vt and the fanout wire 230, and the second common voltage signal line 300c2 includes the second isolation portion 300c21 located between the display test signal line 300vt and the clock signal line 240. In this case, the display test signal line 300vt may or may not receive a fixed potential signal. In an embodiment, when the display test signal line 300vt receives a fixed potential signal, the first common voltage signal line 300c1, the display test signal line 300vt and the second common voltage signal line 300c2 all can further shield the coupling interference between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230, thereby further improving the stability of the display signal and the clock signal. Alternatively, when the display test signal line does not receive a fixed potential signal, the fixed potential signals provided through the first common voltage signal line 300c1 and the second common voltage signal line 300c2 can ensure a good isolation effect between the clock signal line 240 and the fanout wire 230, and in this case, it is not necessary to provide an independent fixed potential signal for the display test signal line, that is, the driver chip or the flexible circuit board does not need to provide an independent fixed potential signal for the display test terminal, thus the simple control logic of the driver chip and the flexible circuit board can be ensured, and the working efficiency of the display panel or the flexible circuit board is relatively efficient.

For example, referring to FIG. 19, the widths of the clock signal lines 240 at different positions are adjusted, the width of the clock signal line 240a is adjusted to be larger than the width of the clock signal line 240b, and the width of the clock signal line 240b is adjusted to be larger than the width of the clock signal line 240c. The line with a larger width correspondingly has a reduced impedance, the clock signal line 240a in FIG. 19 has a larger length, and the impedance of the clock signal line 240a can be ensured not too large by increasing its width, so the signal line sub-segment of the clock signal line 240 may have an increased width when having a larger extension length, thereby ensuring that the overall impedances of the clock signal lines 240 are balanced, and ensuring display uniformity of the display panel 10.
For example, referring to FIG. 20, the widths, at the corners, of the clock signal lines 240 at different positions are adjusted, the width of the clock signal line 240a at the corner is adjusted to be larger than the width of the clock signal line 240b at the corner, and the width of the clock signal line 240b at the corner is adjusted to be larger than the width of the clock signal line 240c at the corner. Similarly, the clock signal line 240a in FIG. 17 has a relatively large length, it is possible to ensure that the impedance of the clock signal line 240a is not too large by increasing the width. Therefore, the signal line sub-segment of the clock signal line 240 can have an increased width at its corner when having a larger extension length, thereby ensuring that the overall impedances of the clock signal lines 240 are balanced, and further ensuring that the display uniformity of the display panel 10.
For example, referring to FIG. 21, the clock signal line 240 may be notched on the wire to adjust its impedance. Referring to FIG. 21, since the length of the clock signal line 240a is relatively large, it is possible to ensure that the impedance of the clock signal line 240 is not excessively large by reducing the notched area of the wire. Therefore, when a signal line sub-segment of the clock signal line 240 has a larger extension length, the wire of the signal line sub-segment of the clock signal line 240 may have a reduced notched area compared with a signal line sub-segment with a smaller extension length, thereby ensuring that the overall impedances of the clock signal lines 240 are balanced, and further ensuring that the display uniformity of the display panel 10.
Further, for the adjustment of the impedances of the clock signal lines 240 with different extension lengths, the adjustment to the width of the wire, the adjustment to the width of the wire at the corner, the adjustment to the notched area of the wire, and the adjustment to the notched area at the corner described above may be partially or all combined, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure. In other words, no matter whether the widths of the wires are different, the widths of the wires at the corners are gradually changed, or notches are formed in the wires, the essence is to adjust the impedances at different degrees by adjusting the widths of the wires, to ensure that the impedances of the clock signal lines 240 of different lengths are relatively balanced.
