In order to make objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, specific implementations of a display substrate and a display apparatus provided in embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described below are only used to state and explain the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure. Moreover, embodiments in the present disclosure and features in the embodiments can be combined mutually if there is no conflict.
A thickness, a size and a shape of a film on each layer in the accompanying drawings do not reflect a real ratio of the display substrate, and are only intended to illustrate the contents of the present disclosure.
The display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
In some embodiments, the display area may include a plurality of pixel units; and each pixel unit includes a plurality of sub-pixels. Illustratively, the pixel units may include red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels and blue sub-pixels, such that color display may be implemented by mixing red, green and blue; or the pixel units may include red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, blue sub-pixels and white sub-pixels, such that color display may be implemented by mixing red, green, blue and white. Certainly, in practical applications, a color of light emitted by the sub-pixels of the pixel units may be designed and determined according to actual application environments, which is not limited herein.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Illustratively, the light-emitting diode may include at least one of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs).
Illustratively, a pixel circuit of 7T1C may be used as the pixel driving circuit, or a pixel circuit of 7T2C may be used as the pixel driving circuit, which is not limited herein. Illustratively, the pixel driving circuit may be provided with an initialization transistor for resetting a gate of a driving transistor. In this way, by electrically connecting the initialization transistor to an initialization signal, when the initialization transistor is connected, the initialization signal transmitted on an initialization signal line 021 may be provided for the gate of the driving transistor, thereby resetting the gate of the driving transistor. However, as the display substrates are enlarged, loading of signal lines for transmitting initialization signals in the display substrates is increased, which causes a delay in initialization signal transmission, and further affects display uniformity.
On the basis of this, in some embodiments, as shown in
According to the display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the auxiliary signal lines 022 and the initialization signal lines 021 that intersect each other are arranged, the first vias K1 are provided at the intersections of the initialization signal lines 021 and the auxiliary signal lines 022, and the initialization signal lines 021 and the auxiliary signal lines 022 that correspond to each other are electrically connected to each other through the first vias K1, such that the initialization signal lines 021 and the auxiliary signal lines 022 that are electrically connected to each other are connected to each other in parallel, which is equivalent to the situation that the initialization signal lines 021 are connected to a resistor in parallel, so as to reduce equivalent resistance of the initialization signal lines 021. Since longer initialization signal lines 021 correspond to more first vias K1, the longer initialization signal lines 021 may be connected to more resistors in parallel, thereby reducing a delay of signal transmission. Further, the display substrate in the present disclosure may be advantageously applied to a large-size display apparatus to improve display uniformity.
Illustratively, the first direction F1 may be perpendicular to the second direction F2. For example, the first direction F1 is a row direction of the sub-pixels, and the second direction F2 is a column direction of the sub-pixels; or the first direction F1 is a column direction of the sub-pixels, and the second direction F2 is a row direction of the sub-pixels.

For example, the three sealing sub-layers include a first inorganic sealing sub-layer, an organic sealing sub-layer, and a second inorganic sealing sub-layer that are stacked, so as to enhance a sealing effect of the sealing layer 33.
For example, the gate insulating layer (including the first gate insulating layer 25 and the second gate insulating layer 26), the interlayer dielectric layer 27, the buffer layer 24, the planarization layer 28, the pixel defining layer 31, the supporting layer 32 and the sealing layer 33 are all made of insulating materials. According to requirements, organic insulating materials such as polyimide and resin materials may be selected, and inorganic insulating materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride and silicon oxynitride may be selected.

In addition, as shown in
Illustratively, part of the structure of the display area AA may be in a same layer as part of the structure of the peripheral area BB of the display substrate, and these structures will be explained below. It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of structures in a same layer means that the plurality of structures may be formed from the same material layer through a patterning process in a making process, thereby simplifying a process of making a display substrate.
Illustratively, the plurality of initialization signal lines 021 are in a same layer as the driving source and the driving drain. Thus, when the driving source and the driving drain in the display area AA are made, the initialization signal lines 021 may be simultaneously made, which simplifies a process of making a display substrate. Certainly, the initialization signal lines 021 may not be in a same layer as the driving source and the driving drain, which is not limited in an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Illustratively, the plurality of auxiliary signal lines 022 may be in a same layer as the connecting electrode. Thus, when the connecting electrode in the display area AA is made, the auxiliary signal lines 022 may be simultaneously made, which simplifies a process of making a display substrate. Certainly, the auxiliary signal lines 022 may not be in a same layer as the connecting electrode, which is not limited in an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Illustratively, at least one of the first auxiliary bus 031 and the second auxiliary bus 032 is in a same layer as the driving gate. For example, the first auxiliary bus 031 and the second auxiliary bus 032 are both in a same layer as the driving gate. Thus, when the driving gate in the display area AA is made, the first auxiliary bus 031 and the second auxiliary bus 032 in the peripheral area BB may be simultaneously made, which simplifies a process of making a display substrate. Certainly, the first auxiliary bus 031 and the second auxiliary bus 032 may not be in a same layer as the driving gate, which is not limited in an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Illustratively, the power signal lines 04 may be in a same layer as the connecting electrode.
