The embodiment of the present application may set the area of ​​the anode 521 located in different pixel regions 101 to different sizes according to the different luminous efficiencies of the pixel regions 101 of different colors; for example, the area of ​​the anode 521 in the red pixel region is larger than the area of ​​the anode 521 in the green pixel region, and the area of ​​the anode 521 in the green pixel region is equal to the area of ​​the anode 521 in the blue pixel region.

[0129] In summary, the embodiment of the present application arranges the driving active portion 211 of the driving transistor T1 and the switching active portion 221 of the switching transistor T2 in different layers, thereby increasing the space in the film layer to arrange a larger number of devices and wirings; in addition, the driving active portion 211 and the switching active portion 221 partially overlap along the thickness direction of the driving substrate, thereby further increasing the wiring space to increase the number of thin film transistors, which is beneficial to improving the performance and resolution of the driving substrate.
