Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in the following description, suffixes such as "module", "part", or "unit" used to denote elements are used only for facilitating the description of the invention, and are not particularly meaningful in themselves.
The switching transistor and the driving transistor used in all the embodiments of the present invention may be thin film transistors or field effect transistors or other devices with the same characteristics, and since the source and the drain of the switching transistor used herein are symmetrical, the source and the drain may be interchanged. In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to distinguish two poles of the transistor except for the gate, one of the two poles is referred to as a source, and the other pole is referred to as a drain. In the form of the drawing, the control terminal of the transistor is defined as a gate, the first terminal is defined as a source, and the second terminal is defined as a drain. In addition, the switching transistor used in the embodiment of the present invention includes two types, i.e., a P-type switching transistor and an N-type switching transistor, wherein the P-type switching transistor is turned on when the gate is at a low level and turned off when the gate is at a high level, and the N-type switching transistor is turned on when the gate is at a high level and turned off when the gate is at a low level.
It should be noted that, in the drawings, all of the switching transistors and the driving transistors of the pixel driving circuit are P-channel transistors, and those skilled in the art can easily find that the pixel driving circuit provided by the present invention can be easily changed into a pixel driving circuit that is all N-channel transistors.
As shown in fig. 1, a first embodiment of the present invention proposes a layout structure of a transistor, which includes a circuit node 10 and an active layer connected to the circuit node 10.
In the present embodiment, the active layers include a first active layer 21, a second active layer 22, and a third active layer 23.
Referring to fig. 1, in one possible embodiment, the first active layer 21 and the third active layer 23 form an inverted "U" shape; the second active layer 22 constitutes an inverted "L" type structure.

Referring to fig. 1-3, in the present embodiment, the gate pattern 40 is substantially square, such as square or rectangle; the grid pattern can also be a polygon, namely a planar graph formed by sequentially connecting more than four line segments end to end.
Referring to fig. 1 again, the active layer covered by the gate pattern 40 is a channel region, the active layer 211 (shown by a dashed line) of the first active layer 21 covered by the gate pattern 40 is a first channel, the active layer 221 (shown by a dashed line) of the second active layer 22 covered by the gate pattern 40 is a second channel, and the active layer 231 (shown by a dashed line) of the third active layer 23 covered by the gate pattern 40 is a third channel.
