Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to display technology, more particularly, to a display substrate and a display apparatus.

BACKGROUND

Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display is one of the hotspots in the field of flat panel display research today. Unlike Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD), which uses a stable voltage to control brightness, OLED is driven by a driving current required to be kept constant to control illumination. The OLED display panel includes a plurality of pixel units configured with pixel-driving circuits arranged in multiple rows and columns. Each pixel-driving circuit includes a driving transistor having a gate terminal connected to one gate line per row and a drain terminal connected to one data line per column. When the row in which the pixel unit is gated is turned on, the switching transistor connected to the driving transistor is turned on, and the data voltage is applied from the data line to the driving transistor via the switching transistor, so that the driving transistor outputs a current corresponding to the data voltage to an OLED device. The OLED device is driven to emit light of a corresponding brightness.

FIG. 8 shows a corner region of the display substrate depicted in FIG. 7. Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the display substrate in some embodiments is a stretchable display substrate. As used herein, the term “stretchable” refers to the ability of a material, structure, device or device component to be strained in tension (e.g., being made longer and/or wider) without undergoing permanent deformation or failure such as fracture, e.g., the ability to elongate at least 10% of its length without permanently deforming, tearing, or breaking. The term is also meant to encompass substrates having components (whether or not the components themselves are individually stretchable as stated above) that are configured in such a way so as to accommodate a stretchable, inflatable, or expandable surface and remain functional when applied to a stretchable, inflatable, or otherwise expandable surface that is stretched, inflated, or otherwise expanded respectively. The term is also meant to encompass substrates that may be elastically and/or plastically deformable (i.e. after being stretched, the substrate may return to its original size when the stretching force is released or the substrate may not return to its original size and in some examples, may remain in the stretched form) and the deformation (i.e. stretching and optionally flexing) may occur during manufacture of the substrate (e.g. with the substrate being stretched and optionally flexed to form its final shape), during assembly of a device incorporating the substrate (which may be considered part of the manufacturing operation) and/or during use (e.g. with the user being able to stretch and optionally flex the substrate).

In some embodiments, in the display area, the display substrate includes a plurality of islands Is and a plurality of bridges Br connecting the plurality of islands Is (discussed further in details below). A respective island of the plurality of islands Is includes at least one display element (e.g., at least one light emitting diode). The display substrate further includes a plurality of first gaps G1 at least partially extending into (e.g., extending through) the display substrate. A respective first gap of the plurality of first gaps G1 is between adjacent islands of the plurality of islands.

In some embodiments, in the peripheral area, the display substrate includes a plurality of second gaps G2 at least partially extending into (e.g., extending through) the display substrate. The presence of the plurality of second gaps G2 renders at least a portion of the peripheral area of the display substrate stretchable, at least in a region having the plurality of second gaps G2.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the plurality of second gaps G2 are present in the second sub-area PA2 and the fourth sub-area PA4, and are absent in the first sub-area PA1 and the third sub-area PA3. The display substrate is stretchable in the second sub-area PA2 and the fourth sub-area PA4, and is less stretchable (e.g., non-stretchable) in the first sub-area PA1 and the third sub-area PA3. Alternatively, in another example, the display substrate may be at least partially stretchable in all four sub-areas, including the first sub-area PA1, the second sub-area PA2, the third sub-area PA3, and the fourth sub-area PA4.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 7, and FIG. 17, the display substrate is stretchable in a stretchable area STA, and is less stretchable (e.g., non-stretchable) in a less stretchable area LSTA. The at least one first voltage supply pad VSP1 extends from the less stretchable area LSTA into the stretchable area STA.

In the stretchable area STA, the at least one first voltage supply pad VSP1 includes a plurality of voltage supply islands VSI and a plurality of voltage supply bridges VSB connecting the plurality of voltage supply islands VSI. The display substrate further includes a plurality of second gaps G2 at least partially extending into (e.g., extending through) the display substrate. A respective second gap of the plurality of second gaps G2 is between adjacent voltage supply islands of the plurality of voltage supply islands VSI. The plurality of voltage supply islands VSI, the plurality of voltage supply bridges VSB, and the plurality of second gaps G2 may have a pattern similar to a pattern of the plurality of islands Is, the plurality of bridges Br, and the plurality of first gaps G1 in the display area of the display substrate. Alternatively, the plurality of voltage supply islands VSI, the plurality of voltage supply bridges VSB, and the plurality of second gaps G2 may have a pattern different from a pattern of the plurality of islands Is, the plurality of bridges Br, and the plurality of first gaps G1 in the display area of the display substrate. In the example depicted in FIG. 17, a respective voltage supply island of the plurality of voltage supply islands VS1 is connected to four adjacent voltage supply islands of the plurality of voltage supply islands VS1 through four voltage supply bridges of the plurality of voltage supply bridges VSB, respectively. The four adjacent voltage supply islands connected to the respective voltage supply island include two voltage supply islands in a same row as the respective voltage supply island and two voltage supply islands in a same column as the respective voltage supply island.

In the less stretchable area LSTA, the at least one first voltage supply pad VSP1 has a different layout. In some embodiments, a portion of the at least one first voltage supply pad VSP1 in the less stretchable area LSTA does not have the plurality of voltage supply islands VSI, the plurality of voltage supply bridges VSB, or the plurality of second gaps G2. In one example depicted in FIG. 17, the portion of the at least one first voltage supply pad VSP1 in the less stretchable area LSTA is a layer continuously extending throughout a substantially entire area of the less stretchable area LSTA. In another example, in the less stretchable area LSTA, the display substrate may include one or more vias extending through the portion of the at least one first voltage supply pad VSP1.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 7, and FIG. 17, the at least one second voltage supply pad VSP2 may be disposed in the less stretchable area LSTA. In alternative embodiments, at least a portion of the at least one second voltage supply pad VSP2 may be disposed in the stretchable area STA.
