Abstract

A method of allocating widths for target signal lines, a wiring substrate, a light-emitting substrate and a display device are provided. The method includes numbering the target signal lines; performing the following operations at least once until the number of target signal lines in a set is zero, determining the set of target signal lines; determining a region R based on the conditions satisfied by a voltage drop V, a temperature rise T, and widths W of the target signal lines, determining the number i of the target signal line with the maximum voltage drop in the set; substituting a known length L i of the target signal line numbered i into V (L, W) to obtain V (L i , W) and obtaining W i based on an intersection of V (L i , W) and a boundary of the region R, and removing the target signal line with the width W i from the set.
