[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a display substrate provided by this application.
[0057] In this embodiment, the display substrate 100 includes a substrate ( Figure 1 not shown in
[0058] The pixel array 10 is formed by arranging a plurality of pixels P in the row direction X and the column direction Y, and includes a plurality of pixel groups 11 arranged in the row direction X. Each pixel group 11 includes an adjacent first sub-pixel column 111 and a second sub-pixel column 112.

[0059] Each scan line group includes a first scan line and a second scan line respectively disposed on both sides of each pixel row. For example Figure 1 in, the scan line group G1 includes a first scan line G11 and a second scan line G12 respectively located on both sides of the first pixel row, the scan line group G2 includes a first scan line G21 and a second scan line G22 respectively located on both sides of the second pixel row, the scan line group G3 includes a first scan line G31 and a second scan line G32 respectively located on both sides of the third pixel row, the scan line group G(m - 1) includes a first scan line G(m - 1)1 and a second scan line G(m - 1)2 located on both sides of the (m - 1)th pixel row, and the scan line group Gm includes a first scan line Gm1 and a second scan line Gm2 located on both sides of the mth pixel row. The first scan lines G11, G21, G31, …, G(m - 1)1, Gm1 extend in the row direction X of the pixel array and are respectively connected to the pixels located in the respective first sub-pixel columns 111 in a corresponding pixel row.

[0060] In some embodiments, the display substrate 100 further includes thin film transistors (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the pixels P in the pixel array one by one.

The second pole of each thin film transistor is connected to a corresponding pixel (specifically, it can be connected to the pixel electrode of the pixel).
[0061] The display substrate provided in this embodiment adopts a Dual Gate design (where one pixel row is driven by two scan lines). By using one data line to transmit drive signals to two adjacent columns of pixels in a pixel group, the number of data lines can be halved, thereby reducing the number of IC channels. A first touch line is provided between adjacent pixel groups, such that a first touch line extending in the column direction can be provided between every two columns of pixels, which is beneficial to increasing the density and number of the first touch lines and reducing the resistance of the first touch lines. The first touch line and the data line are arranged on the same layer (i.e., the source-drain electrode layer) and can be fabricated using the same mask, which is beneficial to simplifying the manufacturing process. Moreover, both the first touch line and the data line are arranged between adjacent sub-pixel columns, and there is no need to provide the first touch line in the pixel area, so the pixel aperture ratio can be increased, the transmittance of the display substrate can be improved, and high image quality and display effects can be achieved.
