For those skilled in the art, specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood depending on specific circumstances.
A display device generally includes a light-emitting panel and a driving chip. The light-emitting panel includes a light-emission driving substrate and a light-emitting layer stacked on the light-emission driving substrate, wherein the light-emission driving substrate includes a plurality of pixel driving circuits and the light-emitting layer includes light-emitting elements that are arranged in an array. The pixel driving circuits are connected with the light-emitting elements to drive the light-emitting elements to emit light. The driving chip is bound on the light-emission driving substrate to provide control signals to the pixel driving circuits of the light-emission driving substrate. Correspondingly, it is necessary to set a binding area on the light-emission driving substrate for binding the driving chip, so as to realize controls of the light-emitting elements. The binding area may include binding terminals for being connected to data lines and the driving chip is connected to the data lines through the binding terminals so as to transmit data signals to the light-emitting elements.
A traditional light-emission driving substrate, when controlling light-emitting elements to emit light, causes that brightness of areas corresponding to the light-emitting area and the binding area is darker than that of remaining areas due to defects in its wirings, especially defects in an arrangement of connection terminals for lines that respectively have a great effect on light-emission uniformity such as a line connecting with an anode of a light-emitting element and a line connecting with a cathode of a light-emitting element, which affects uniformity of light-emitting surfaces.
Referring to
A voltage at the gate of the driving transistor M3 is inputted from a data line Vdata, and a voltage at the source of the driving transistor M3 is a voltage at the PVDD connection terminal, which is a constant voltage, and the nearer to an input terminal from a power supply the PVDD connection terminal is, the closer to an initial voltage inputted to the PVDD connection terminal the voltage is. During transmission of a voltage signal from the PVDD connection terminal to the light-emitting area, the farther away from the connection terminal the voltage signal is transmitted, the greater a loss is, and the loss reaches maximum when the voltage signal arrives at the farthest end, which will affect the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the driving transistor M3. The driving transistor M3 is very sensitive to a change in the voltage difference, so the change in the voltage difference will cause current flowing through the light-emitting element 200 to fluctuate greatly, thereby affecting the brightness of the light-emitting element 200. The PVEE connection terminal is connected to the cathode of the light-emitting element 200 through wires and the driving transistor M3 is in a saturation state during operation, so a change in voltage of the PVEE connection terminal has a smaller effect on the current, and thus has a smaller effect on the brightness of the light-emitting element 200.
In the traditional light-emitting driving substrate, both the PVDD connection terminal and the PVEE connection terminal, upon being arranged, correspond to the binding area for the driving chip. Due to defects in such arrangement that the PVEE connection terminals are disposed in an area where the PVDD connection terminals are located, a transmission path of a voltage signal inputted from a PVDD connection terminal is increased, and thus there will be a great loss in the voltage signal during transmission, thereby affecting the brightness of the light-emitting element 200 and introducing a defect that light-emitting surfaces have poor uniformity.
To solve the above-discussed technical problem, the embodiments of the present application provide a driving substrate, a light-emitting panel and a display device, which will be described in detail below with reference to
Referring to
The light-emission driving substrate 100 includes a substrate 10 and a device layer 20 disposed on the substrate 10, the device layer 20 includes a plurality of first signal lines 21 and second signal lines 22 that are disposed in the light-emitting area AA1, and includes a plurality of first connection terminals 23 and second connection terminals 24 that are disposed in the non-light-emitting area AA2, each of the first connection terminals 23 is electrically connected to an anode 200a of a light-emitting element 200 via one of the first signal lines 21, and each of the second connection terminals 24 is electrically connected to a cathode 200b of a light-emitting element 200 via one of the second signal lines 22, and wherein a distance aa between at least one of the first connection terminals 23 and the binding area AA3 is smaller than a distance bb between each of the second connection terminals 24 and the binding area AA3.
In some embodiments, the light-emitting element 200 driven by the light-emission driving substrate 100 may be at least one of an organic light-emitting diode (Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED), a mini light-emitting diode (mini LED), and a micro light-emitting diode (micro LED).

In some embodiments, the binding area AA3 is a partial area of the non-light-emitting area AA2, and the binding area AA3 is provided for binding the driving chip and has a shape matching with a geometric shape of the driving chip. For example, in a case where the driving chip to be bound is in a shape of rectangle, the binding area AA3 may have a shape of rectangle.
In some embodiments, the binding area AA3 includes binding terminals 400, and the binding area AA3 is bound to and electrically connected to the driving chip through the binding terminals 400.
In some embodiments, the substrate 10 may be flexible or rigid. In some embodiments, the substrate 10 may have a length direction, a width direction and a thickness direction, and the device layer 20 is disposed at a side of the substrate 10 in the thickness direction Y
In some embodiments, the device layer 20 may include a plurality of pixel driving circuits 10a, wherein the plurality of pixel driving circuits 10a are arranged in an array in a display area, and a first signal line 21 may be electrically connected to an anode 200a of a light-emitting element 200 through a pixel driving circuit 10a. A second signal line 22 may be directly electrically connected to a cathode 200b of a light-emitting element 200. In some embodiments, the pixel driving circuit 10a may adopt a form of circuit shown as 7T1C in
In some embodiments, the number of the first connection terminals 23 and the number of the second connection terminals 24 may be the same or may be different, and the first connection terminals 23 and the second connection terminals 24 may be arranged as a whole in one row and one column, and certainly, may be disposed in two rows and two columns, and may be disposed in multiple rows or multiple columns.
In some embodiments, the first connection terminals 23 and the second connection terminals 24 may be alternately arranged, or at least two second connection terminals 24 may be disposed between two adjacent first connection terminals 23, or at least two first connection terminals 23 may be disposed between two adjacent second connection terminals 24.
In some embodiments, each of the first connection terminals 23 may be connected to one of the first signal lines 21 in a one-to-one correspondence. Certainly, each of the first connection terminals 23 may be connected to two or more of the first signal lines 21. In some embodiments, each of the second connection terminals 24 may be connected to one of the second signal lines 22 in a one-to-one correspondence. Certainly, each of the second connection terminals 24 may be connected to two or more of the second signal lines 22.
The distance between a first connection terminal 23 and the binding area AA3 refers to a length dimension of a minimum interval between a side of the first connection terminal 23 facing toward the binding area AA3 and an outer side of the binding area AA3; that is, the first connection terminal 23 has a first side that is close to the binding area AA3 and the binding area AA3 has a second side that is close to the first connection terminal 23 and the distance refers to a length dimension of a minimum interval between the first side and the second side. For example, the distance is that as indicated by the notation aa in
The distance between a second connection terminal 24 and the binding area AA3 refers to a length dimension of a minimum interval between a side of the second connection terminal 24 facing toward the binding area AA3 and an outer side of the binding area AA3; that is, the second connection terminal 24 has a first side that is close to the binding area AA3 and the binding area AA3 has a second side that is close to the second connection terminal 24 and the distance refers to a length dimension of a minimum interval between the first side and the second side. For example, the distance is that as indicated by the notation bb in
The distance aa between at least one of the first connection terminals 23 and the binding area AA3 is smaller than the distance bb between each of the second connection terminals 24 and the binding area AA3, that is, at least one of the first connection terminals 23 is located closer to the binding area AA3 than each of the second connection terminals 24. Particularly, it may be that the minimum distance aa between at least one of the first connection terminals 23 and the binding area AA3 is smaller than the minimum distance bb between each of the second connection terminals 24 and the binding area AA3.
In the light-emission driving substrate 100 according to the embodiments of the present application, the binding area AA3 is provided for placing a driving chip 300 and thus cannot be provided with connection terminals, so first signal lines 21 and second signal lines 22 that are disposed over the binding area AA3 in a direction parallel to the light-emitting panel 100 have to extend to the non-light-emitting area AA2 and bridge the binding area AA3 obliquely so as to be electrically connected to corresponding first connection terminals 23 and second connection terminals 24. As described above, brightness of a light-emitting element 200 is critically determined by a voltage difference between a gate and a source of a driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit 10a, which in turn is determined by a voltage drop of a voltage signal transmitted in a first signal line 21 electrically connecting with an anode 200a of the light-emitting element 200. Since the signal line is made of metal, during transmission of the voltage signal, the longer the line, the greater the loss. Fluctuation in voltage of the first signal line 21 connecting with the anode 200a has a greater effect on an output current of the driving transistor in the device layer 20 than fluctuation in voltage of the second signal line 22 connecting with the cathode 200b. Therefore, by setting that the distance aa between at least one of the first connection terminals 23 and the binding area AA3 is smaller than the distance bb between each of the second connection terminals 24 and the binding area AA3, the length of an extension part of a first signal line 21 that is used for bridging the binding area AA3 so as to electrically connect to a first connection terminal 23 can be reduced, and thus a transmission distance of a voltage signal inputted from the first connection terminal 23 can be reduced, and thereby a voltage drop of the first signal line 21 when bridging the binding area AA3 can be reduced and thus an effect on an output current of the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit 10a can be reduced, which ensures uniformity of light-emitting surfaces while satisfying requirements for driving the light-emitting elements 200.

It should be noted that, in the light-emission driving substrate 100 according to the embodiments of the present application either described above or below, the first connection terminals 23 at respective sides of the binding area AA3 may have same shape or dimension, or may have different shapes or dimensions. Similarly, the second connection terminals 24 at respective sides of the binding area AA3 may have same shape or dimension, or may have different shapes or dimensions.

In the light-emission driving substrate 100 according to the embodiments of the present application, the plurality of first connection terminals 23 may be disposed at different positions in the non-light-emitting area AA2. In some optional embodiments, the first connection terminals 23 and the second connection terminals 24 may be located at a side of the light-emitting area AA1 facing toward the binding area AA3. With such settings, when the light-emission driving substrate 100 is used in a display device, a driving circuit board bound to the first connection terminals 23 and the second connection terminals 24 and a driving circuit board connected to a driving chip which is bound to the binding area AA3 are all located at a same side of the light-emitting area AA1, that is, it is sufficient to set a stepped area at one side of the light-emitting area AA1 of the light-emitting panel, and thus the number of steps required by bonding the driving circuit boards in the display device can be reduced.

In some embodiments, in the light-emission driving substrate 100according to the embodiments of the present application, the plurality of first signal lines 21 and the plurality of second signal lines 22 may be arranged along the first direction X at intervals, and particularly may be parallel and spaced apart from each other. Such settings facilitate arrangement of the first signal lines 21 and the second signal lines 22 to satisfy requirements for electrical connections with the anode 200a and the cathode 200b of the light emitting element 200.

With such settings, in a case where the number of the first connection terminals 23 is less than the number of the first signal lines 21 and the number of the second connection terminals 24 is less than the number of the second signal lines 22, it ensures that each first signal line 21 can obtain a voltage signal from the first connection terminals 23, and each second signal line 22 can obtain a voltage signal from the second connection terminals 24, so as to satisfying requirements of the light-emitting elements 200 for light-emission.
Furthermore, in the case where the first connection terminals 23 and the second connection terminals 24 are all located at the side of the light-emitting area AA1 facing toward the binding area AA3, uniformity in voltage will be deteriorated. By providing the bridging lines 27 and setting that each of the plurality of first signal lines 21 is electrically connected through at least one bridging line 27 and each of the plurality of second signal lines 22 is electrically connected through at least one bridging line 27, uniformity in voltage in the light-emission driving substrate 100 can be optimized and thus a voltage drop of the first signal line 21 and of the second signal line 22 can be reduced.
In some embodiments, in the light-emission driving substrate 100 according to the embodiments of the present application, each of the bridging lines 27 is a straight line segment, and the plurality of bridging lines 27 are spaced apart from each other and have line-width that are increasing along a direction away from the binding area AA3. It can be known from analysis that attenuation in current gradually becomes serious from an output terminal of a first connection terminal 23 or an output terminal of a second connection terminal 24 to an upper part of a display area away from the binding area AA3, which is caused by increasing resistance of an involved line. By setting that the plurality of bridging lines 27 are spaced apart from each other and have line-widths that are increasing along the direction away from the binding area AA3, resistance of the first signal line 21 and of the second signal line 22 at positions away from the binding area AA3 are reduced, i.e. resistance of the involved line at the upper part is reduced, which can effectively compensate attenuation in current of the line at the upper part so as to improve uniformity in voltage.
In some embodiments, in the light-emission driving substrate 100 according to the embodiments of the present application, the first signal lines 21 and the second signal lines 22 are respectively arranged in a different layer from the bridging lines 27, and each of the bridging lines 27 is electrically connected to a corresponding first signal line 21 or a corresponding second signal line 22 through a via 271. Such settings facilitate electrical connection between a bridging line 27 and a corresponding first signal line 21 or a corresponding second signal line 22 and formation of the bridging lines 27 as well.
In some embodiments, in the light-emission driving substrate 100 according to the embodiments of the present application, the number of orthographic projections of the vias 271 covered by orthographic projections of the bridging lines 27 on the substrate 10 increases along the direction away from the binding area AA3. With such settings, resistance of an involved line at the upper side can be further reduced, and attenuation in current at the upper side can be effectively compensated, and that uniformity in voltage can be efficiently improved.

As described above, due to a limited area of the non-light-emitting area AA2, there is no enough space to set a first connection terminal 23 for each of the first signal lines 21. Therefore, by providing the first transition line 25, a first connection terminal 23 not only can be directly electrically connected to a first signal line 21 that is located adjacently but also can be indirectly electrically connected to a first signal line 21 that is located far away through the first transition line 25.
In addition, in a situation where the first connection terminals 23 obtain power from an outside world, the number of power supplies connecting with the first connection terminals 23 is relatively small. By electrically connecting at least two of the first connection terminals 23 through the first transition line 25, inputted voltage will be transmitted to different areas through the first transition line 25 before it is transmitted to the light-emitting area AA1, i.e. when it is still in the non-light-emitting area AA2, and after transmitted to different areas in the light-emitting area AA1, there is only a small voltage difference among the different areas, which ensures uniformity in brightness of respective light-emitting elements 200.
In some embodiments, in the light-emission driving substrate 100 according to the embodiments of the present application, in the first direction X, at least one first connection terminal 23 is provided at each of the sides of the binding area AA3 in the first direction X, and for each of the sides, a distance between at least one first connection terminal 23 and the binding area AA3 is smaller than a distance between each second connection terminal 24 and the binding area AA3. In some embodiments, two first connection terminals 23 that are located at respective sides of the binding area AA3 in the first direction X and are closest to the binding area AA3 may be connected through the first transition line 25. Such settings facilitate bridging of the binding area AA3, thereby satisfying requirements of first signal lines that are located above the binding area for connections and ensuring uniformity of light-emitting surfaces.
In some embodiments, the first transition line 25 may be a straight line segment and is disposed between the binding area AA3 and the light-emitting area AA1. While satisfying requirements for bridging the binding area AA3, a space between the binding area and the light-emitting area can be fully utilized to avoid a risk of the circuit being shorted with other lines.

In some embodiments, in the light-emission driving substrate 100 according to the embodiments of the present application, both a first connection terminal 23 and a second connection terminal 24 are provided at each of the sides of the binding area AA3 in the first direction X, and for each of the sides in the first direction X, a minimum distance between at least one first connection terminal 23 and the binding area AA3 is greater than a minimum distance between each second connection terminal 24 and the binding area AA3.
In some embodiments, an outermost connection terminal at each of the sides of the binding area AA3 in the first direction X may be the first connection terminal 23.
In some embodiments, in the light-emission driving substrate 100 according to the embodiments of the present application, the second connection terminals 24 may be directly electrically connected to corresponding second signal lines 22.

The length of the first connection terminal 23 or the second connection terminal 24 may refers to an extension dimension of the first connection terminal 23 or the second connection terminal 24 in the direction for arrangement of the first connection terminals 23 and the second connection terminals 24 .
Taking the arrangement of the first connection terminals 23 and the second connection terminals 24 along the first direction X as an example, each of the first connection terminals 23 includes two sides that are opposite with each other in the first direction X, and the length of the first connection terminal 23 is a minimum distance between the two sides in the first direction X, illustratively shown as dd1 in
Taking the embodiment shown in
Since each of the first connection terminals 23 is electrically connected to an anode 200a of a light-emitting element 200 through a first signal line 21, and each of the second connection terminals 24 is electrically connected to a cathode 200b of a light-emitting element 200 through a second signal line 22, fluctuation in voltage of a first signal line 21 connecting with the anode 200a has a greater effect on an output current of the driving transistor in the device layer 20 than fluctuation in voltage of a second signal line 22 connecting the cathode 200b. By setting a greater length for the first connection terminal 23 in the arrangement direction, a voltage drop of the first signal line 21 can be reduced and uniformity of the panel can be improved.
In some embodiments, the first connection terminals 23 and the second connection terminals 24 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X.

Taking the orthographic projection of the first connection terminal 23 and the second connection terminal 24 on the substrate being rectangle as an example, the area of each first connection terminal 23 is a product of h1 and h2, and the area of each second connection terminal 24 is a product of h3 and h4, wherein the h1, the h2, the h3 and the h4 are determined depending on length and width of a corresponding connection terminal, and thus are not constant values. The sum C of the orthographic projection areas of the first connection terminals 23 on the substrate 10 is equal to a sum obtained by addition of the orthographic projection areas of the first connection terminals 23 on the substrate 10, and the sum D of the orthographic projection areas of the second connection terminals 24 on the substrate 10 is equal to a sum obtained by addition of the orthographic projection areas of the first connection terminals 23 on the substrate 10.
By setting a greater area for the first connection terminal 23 on the substrate 10, a possibility that fluctuation in voltage of the first signal lines 21 can be reduced, and uniformity of light-emitting surfaces can be improved.
It should be understood that, it is just an implementation that the orthographic projection of the first connection terminal 23 and the second connection terminal 24 on the substrate 10 is a rectangle, and the embodiments of the present application is not limited to such an implementation. In some other examples, the orthographic projection of the first connection terminal 23 and of the second connection terminal 24 on the substrate 10 may be a circle, an ellipse or any other polygonal shape, and wherein the first connection terminal 23 and the second connection terminal 24 may be the same, for example, both of them are in the shape of rectangle or circle, or the first connection terminal 23 and the second connection terminal 24 may be different from each other, for example, one of them is in the shape of circular and the other is the shape of rectangular, or the like, as long as functional requirements of the light-emission driving substrate 100 can be satisfied.

For example, in some embodiments, each of the first signal lines 21 may be correspondingly connected to one first connection terminal 23, each of the second signal lines 22 is correspondingly connected to one second connection terminal 24, so the first signal lines 21 and the second signal lines 22 can be disposed in different layers, and in such case, it is not necessary to set the bridging lines 27, as long as requirements of an electrical connection between the anode 200a and the cathode 200b of the light-emitting element can be satisfied.

As analyzed above, brightness of the light-emitting element 200 is critically determined by a voltage difference between the gate and the source of the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit 10a, and the voltage at the gate of the driving transistor is inputted from the data line Vdata, and the voltage at the source is the voltage at the first connection terminal, so by providing the first signal lines 21 for transmitting positive potential signals and the second connection terminals 24 together with the second signal lines 22 for transmitting negative potential signals, not only illumination effect of the light-emitting element 200 can be satisfied, but also the voltage drop in the first signal line 21 when bridging the binding area AA3 can be reduced, thereby reducing an effect on an output current of the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit 10a. The uniformity of light-emitting surfaces can be ensured while requirements of driving the light-emitting elements 200 can be satisfied as well.
