DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages in the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that sizes and shapes of diagrams in the accompanying drawings do not reflect true ratios, and are merely intended to illustrate contents of the present disclosure. In addition, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without making inventive efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.


Unless defined otherwise, technical or scientific terms used herein should be of ordinary meaning as understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains. Expressions “first”, “second”, etc. used in the description and claims of the present disclosure do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used for distinguishing between different components. Expressions “comprising”, “including” or the like are intended to mean that an element or item in front of the word encompasses elements or items listed behind the word and equivalents thereof, but does not exclude other elements or items. “Inner”, “outer”, “upper”, “lower”, etc. are merely used to indicate a relative positional relation, which may also change accordingly when the absolute position of the described object changes.


According to the under-screen camera technology in the related art, only light-emitting devices are reserved in a display area where a camera is arranged, pixel circuits corresponding to the light-emitting devices are arranged outside the display area where the camera is arranged, and transparent wires are selected to electrically connect the pixel circuits outside the display area where the camera is arranged to the light-emitting devices in the display area where the camera is arranged, thereby increasing light transmittance, and ensuring a photographing effect.


Limited by a process of a transparent wire pitch, currently, three or four transparent conductive layers (such as indium tin oxide, ITO) are generally used for routing of the transparent wires. In general, transparent wires in the same layer are electrically connected to at least one row or at least one column of light-emitting devices, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, where 1, 2, and 3 in FIGS. 1-3 denote three different transparent conductive layers, and blocks in FIGS. 1-3 denote positions of the light-emitting devices.


However, due to differences in manufacture procedure processing between different transparent conductive layers, film thicknesses, wire widths, wire pitches, etc. of different transparent conductive layer are different, resulting in differences in loading and coupling capacitance between the transparent wires in different transparent conductive layers, and uneven display: For example, regional mura is likely to occur in FIG. 1, while vertical mura is likely to occur in FIG. 2, and horizontal mura is likely to occur in FIG. 3, thereby greatly affecting a display quality:


In order to solve at least the technical problems in the related art, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the display substrate includes: a base substrate 101, including a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2 at least arranged at one side of the first display area AA1, where a light transmittance of the first display area AA1 is greater than a light transmittance of the second display area AA2: a light-emitting device layer, arranged on the base substrate 101, where the light-emitting device layer includes a plurality of first light-emitting devices 102 arranged in the first display area AA1; a driving circuit layer, arranged between the light-emitting device layer and the base substrate 101, where the driving circuit layer includes a plurality of first pixel circuits (not shown in the figures), projections of the plurality of first pixel circuits on the base substrate 101 do not overlap the first display area AA1, and the plurality of first pixel circuits are electrically connected to the plurality of first light-emitting devices 102; and a plurality of transparent conductive layers, arranged on the base substrate 101, where each of the transparent conductive layers includes a plurality of transparent wires (not shown in the figures), the plurality of transparent wires are connected between the plurality of first pixel circuits and the plurality of first light-emitting devices 102, corresponding transparent wires electrically connected to the first light-emitting devices 102 in the same row are arranged on at least two transparent conductive layers, and corresponding transparent wires electrically connected to the first light-emitting devices 102 in the same column are arranged on at least two transparent conductive layers.


In the display substrate provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the transparent wires correspondingly electrically connected to the first light-emitting devices 102 in the same row are arranged on at least two transparent conductive layers, and the transparent wires correspondingly electrically connected to the first light-emitting devices 102 in the same column are arranged on at least two transparent conductive layers, so that even routing of the transparent wires in layers is provided, thereby reducing differences in loading and coupling capacitance caused by different manufacture procedure processes of the transparent conductive layers or self environments, and alleviating uneven display, etc.


In some embodiments, the plurality of first pixel circuits may be arranged in the second display area AA2, and the plurality of transparent conductive layers may be arranged between the driving circuit layer and the light-emitting device layer, to connect the first pixel circuits and the first light-emitting devices 102 through the transparent wires. In addition, the plurality of first pixel circuits are arranged in the second display area AA2, thereby increasing a screen-to-body ratio, and meeting a development trend towards a full screen.


Certainly, in some embodiments, the plurality of first pixel circuits may also be arranged in a border area, and the plurality of transparent conductive layers may be not only arranged between the driving circuit layer and the light-emitting device layer but also flexibly arranged according to requirements, which are not specifically limited herein.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 5-9, corresponding transparent wires electrically connected to any n number of adjacent first light-emitting devices 102 are arranged at different layers in a first direction Y, where the first direction Y is a row direction or a column direction, and n represents the total number of the transparent conductive layers. As can be seen from FIGS. 5-9, light-emitting devices 102 electrically connected to the transparent conductive layers are alternately arranged in the first direction Y, so that the transparent wires in the plurality of layers are evenly distributed in the first direction Y, thereby effectively solving uneven display in the row direction or the column direction that the first direction Y denotes.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 5-9, every n number of rows of the first light-emitting devices 102 are periodically arranged as one group of the first light-emitting devices 102 in the first direction Y. First light-emitting devices 102 electrically connected to the transparent conductive layers are positioned complementarily among one row of the first light-emitting devices 102. First light-emitting devices 102 electrically connected to the same transparent conductive layer are positioned complementarily among the one group of the first light-emitting devices 102. Therefore, even routing of the transparent wires 103 in the plurality of layers in the first direction Y and a second direction X, respectively may be provided, thereby effectively solving the uneven display in the row direction and the column direction.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, corresponding transparent wires 103 electrically connected to any n number of adjacent first light-emitting devices 102 are arranged at different layers in the second direction X, where the second direction X is a row direction or a column direction, and the second direction X intersects with the first direction Y. The light-emitting devices 102 electrically connected to the transparent conductive layers are arranged alternately in the second direction X, so that the transparent wires in the plurality of layers are evenly distributed in the second direction X, thereby effectively solving the uneven display in the row direction or the column direction that the second direction X denotes.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the plurality of transparent conductive layers include one or more first transparent conductive layers 1, one or more second transparent conductive layers 2, and one or more third transparent conductive layers 3 which are stacked and insulated from one another. The first transparent conductive layer 1 includes a plurality of first transparent wires, the second transparent conductive layer 2 includes a plurality of second transparent wires, and the third transparent conductive layer 3 includes a plurality of third transparent wires. First light-emitting devices 102 electrically connected to the first transparent wires, the second transparent wires, and the third transparent wires, respectively, are all alternately arranged in the first direction Y and the second direction X. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the one or more first transparent conductive layers 1, the one or more second transparent conductive layers 2, and the one or more third transparent conductive layers 3 have alternate routing in the row direction and the column direction, which may effectively solve the uneven display in the row direction and the column direction.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, corresponding transparent wires electrically connected to any (n−1) number of adjacent first light-emitting devices 102 are arranged at different layers in the second direction X. The second direction X is the row direction or the column direction, and the second direction X intersects with the first direction Y. Therefore, even routing of the transparent conductive layers in the row direction, the column direction, and a 45° diagonal direction may be provided, thereby effectively solving uneven display in the row direction, the column direction, and the 45° diagonal direction, and further improving a display quality.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the plurality of transparent conductive layers include one or more first transparent conductive layers 1, one or more second transparent conductive layers 2, and one or more third transparent conductive layers 3 which are stacked and insulated from one another.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, in the second direction X, corresponding transparent wires electrically connected to a part of (n−1) number of adjacent first light-emitting devices are arranged at different layers, and corresponding transparent wires electrically connected to remaining (n−1) number of adjacent first light-emitting devices are arranged at the same layer. The second direction X is the row direction or the column direction, and the second direction X intersects with the first direction Y. By means of the arrangement, routing of the transparent conductive layers in the row direction, the column direction, and the 45° diagonal direction may be provided, thereby effectively solving uneven display in the row direction, the column direction, and the 45° diagonal direction, and further improving a display quality:


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the plurality of transparent conductive layers include one or more first transparent conductive layers 1, one or more second transparent conductive layers 2, and one or more third transparent conductive layers 3 which are stacked and insulated from one another. The first transparent conductive layer 1 includes a plurality of first transparent wires, the second transparent conductive layer 2 includes a plurality of second transparent wires, and the third transparent conductive layer 3 includes a plurality of third transparent wires.


First light-emitting devices electrically connected to the first transparent wires, the second transparent wires, and the third transparent wires, respectively are alternately arranged in the first direction Y.


Every nine of the first light-emitting devices are periodically arranged as one repeating unit in the second direction X, and in the one repeating unit, two outermost ones of the first light-emitting devices are a first first light-emitting device and a ninth first light-emitting device, respectively.


Every three rows of the first light-emitting devices are periodically arranged as one group of the first light-emitting devices in the first direction Y, and in the one group of the first light-emitting devices, two outermost rows of the first light-emitting devices are a first row of the first light-emitting devices and a third row of the first light-emitting devices, respectively.


The first transparent wires are electrically connected to a first first light-emitting device, a fifth first light-emitting device, and a ninth first light-emitting device of each of repeating units in the first row of the first light-emitting devices, a third first light-emitting device, a fourth first light-emitting device, and an eighth first light-emitting device of each of repeating units in a second row of the first light-emitting devices, and a second first light-emitting device, a sixth first light-emitting device, a seventh first light-emitting device of each of repeating units in a third row of the first light-emitting devices.

As can be seen from the above description, in the display substrate provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the uneven display may be effectively solved as long as the transparent wires in the plurality of layers are alternately electrically connected to the first light-emitting devices in the same row and in the same column. In addition, when an arrangement mode of the first light-emitting devices is fixed, the worse the regularity of an electric connection mode between the transparent wires in the plurality of layers and the first light-emitting devices is, the better the even display is.


In some embodiments, in order to reduce resistance of the transparent wires as much as possible, as shown in FIGS. 10-13, the first display area AA1 may be divided into a first display subarea AA11, a second display subarea AA12, a third display subarea AA13, and a fourth display subarea AA14. The first display subarea AA11 and the second display subarea AA12 are symmetrically arranged in the row direction, the third display subarea AA13 and the fourth display subarea AA14 are symmetrically arranged in the row direction, the first display subarea AA11 and the third display subarea AA13 are symmetrically arranged in the column direction, and the second display subarea AA12 and the fourth display subarea AA14 are symmetrically arranged in the column direction. Transparent wires 103 electrically connected to first light-emitting devices in the first display subarea AA11 extend to one side away from the second display subarea AA12, transparent wires 103 electrically connected to first light-emitting devices in the second display subarea AA12 extend to one side away from the first display subarea AA11, transparent wires 103 electrically connected to first light-emitting devices in the third display subarea AA13 extend to one side away from the fourth display subarea AA14, and transparent wires 103 electrically connected to first light-emitting devices in the fourth display subarea AA14 extend to one side away from the third display subarea AA13.


It should be noted that, during specific implementation, positional relations of the first display subarea AA11, the second display subarea AA12, the third display subarea AA13, and the fourth display subarea AA14 are not limited to symmetrical relations. For example, by means of two intersecting straight lines extending in the row direction and the column direction, respectively, the first display area AA1 may be divided into four asymmetrical areas, to be used as a first display subarea AA11, a second display subarea AA12, a third display subarea AA13, and a fourth display subarea AA14, respectively. In some embodiments, the first display subarea AA11 and the second display subarea AA12 may be arranged at two sides of the straight line extending in the column direction, the third display subarea AA13 and the fourth display subarea AA14 may be arranged at two sides of the straight line extending in the column direction, the first display subarea AA11 and the third display subarea AA13 may be arranged at two sides of the straight line extending in the row direction, and the second display subarea AA12 and the fourth display subarea AA14 may be arranged at two sides of the straight line extending in the row direction, to facilitate the routing of the transparent wires.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 11-13, the numbers of the transparent wires 103 in the transparent conductive layers may be the same, to facilitate an even distribution of the transparent wires 103 in the layers electrically connected to the first light-emitting devices 102.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 10-13, the transparent wires 103 in each of the transparent conductive layers do not overlap one another, and orthographic projections, on the base substrate 101, of the transparent wires 103 in different transparent conductive layers may not overlap one another, or may partially or completely overlap one another, which are not limited herein.


In some embodiments, the driving circuit layer may further include a plurality of second pixel circuits arranged in the second display area AA2, and the light-emitting device layer may further include a plurality of second light-emitting devices arranged in the second display area AA2, the plurality of second light-emitting devices are electrically connected to the plurality of second pixel circuits. In this way, the second pixel circuits may provide a driving signal for the second light-emitting devices, thereby realizing a display function of the second display area AA2.


In some embodiments, a density of the plurality of second light-emitting devices in the second display area AA2 may be the same as a density of the plurality of first light-emitting devices 102 in the first display area AA1, thereby ensuring that a resolution (PPI) of the second display area AA2 is the same as that of the first display area AA1, and improving an overall display effect.


In some embodiments, each of the first light-emitting devices 102 may include a first electrode, and each of the second light-emitting devices may include a second electrode, both the first electrode and the second electrode are reflective anodes or reflective cathodes. In order to improve a light transmittance of the first display area AA1 where the first light-emitting devices 102 are arranged, when an emitted light color of the first light-emitting device 102 is the same as an emitted light color of the second light-emitting device, an orthographic projection area of the first electrode on the base substrate may be smaller than an orthographic projection area of the second electrode on the base substrate.


In some embodiments, a density of the plurality of second light-emitting devices in the second display area AA2 may be greater than a density of the plurality of first light-emitting devices 102 in the first display area AA1, thereby improving light transmittance of the first display area AA1.


In some embodiments, each of the first light-emitting devices 102 may include a first electrode, and each of the second light-emitting devices may include a second electrode, both the first electrode and the second electrode are reflective anodes or reflective cathodes. Since a resolution of the first display area AA1 is smaller than a resolution of the second display area AA2, a light transmittance of the first display area AA1 may be improved. Therefore, a size of the first electrode does not need to be reduced. In view of the above, when an emitted light color of the first light-emitting device is the same as an emitted light color of the second light-emitting device, an orthographic projection area of the first electrode on the base substrate may be equal to an orthographic projection area of the second electrode on the base substrate.
