A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11925084B2) discloses a display panel with unique features aimed at improving performance. The panel includes a substrate, a light-emitting element with an emission region, a reference voltage line, and a branch line connected to apply a reference voltage to the light-emitting element. Notably, the branch line incorporates a semiconductor layer that overlaps the emission region, enhancing the efficiency of light emission. Additionally, the panel features a pixel circuit, power line, data line, and gate line to drive the light-emitting element effectively.

Furthermore, the patent details the arrangement of the branch line and reference voltage line on different layers, connected through a contact hole. The branch line can be single-layered or multi-layered, with the latter crossing over the data line for optimized functionality. The display panel also includes a transparent anode, a bank structure, and specific configurations of the branch line to ensure precise application of voltage to the transparent anode. These innovative design elements contribute to the overall performance and functionality of the display panel, making it a promising development in the field of display technology.
