[0035] Through the research of the inventors of the present application, it is found that OLED devices usually adopt a thin-film encapsulation process, and there is an organic encapsulation layer (Organic Film) in the thin-film encapsulation layer (TFE). Its main function is to coat the light-emitting device, playing the role of extending the water and oxygen erosion path and adjusting the film stress. The preparation process of the organic encapsulation layer is as follows: through inkjet printing (InkjetPrint) technology, the ink is printed on the front-end glass and leveled naturally; subsequently, the ink is cured by ultraviolet rays of a UV curing device (UV CureEquipment) to form an organic encapsulation layer. In the preparation process of the organic encapsulation layer, the leveling of the ink is a key factor of the process. The leveling effect of the ink is related to the morphology of the film layer below. For example, the density of the support pillars (PS), the shape of the pixel definition layer (PDL), the aperture ratio of the pixel definition layer (PDL), etc.
[0036] Figure 1 It is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a related display substrate. Among them, Figure 1 It schematically shows the structure of the display substrate before forming the thin-film encapsulation layer. As Figure 1 shown, the related display substrate includes a display area 100' and a border area arranged around the display area 100'. The border area includes a virtual pixel area 210' and an isolation area 220' arranged in sequence along the direction away from the display area 100'. The virtual pixel area 210' includes a dielectric structure layer 20' arranged on the substrate. The isolation area 220' includes a first isolation wall 401' and a second isolation wall 402' arranged in sequence along the direction away from the display area 100'. An isolation groove 11' is formed between the side surface of the dielectric structure layer 20' on the side away from the display area 100' and the first isolation wall 401'. During the leveling process of the organic encapsulation layer material, a part of the organic encapsulation layer material will fill into the isolation groove 11', resulting in the loss of a part of the extra volume of the organic encapsulation layer material during the leveling process, and the leveling area of the organic encapsulation layer material cannot be accurately controlled. Moreover, the isolation groove 11' will form a climbing distance, resulting in poor filling ability of the organic encapsulation layer material at the isolation groove 11', large step difference of the organic encapsulation layer, and inability to effectively protect the signal traces located below the organic encapsulation layer, which is likely to cause the problem of signal trace short circuit. For this reason, the related display substrate needs to avoid the area where the isolation groove 11' is located for the leveling path of the organic encapsulation layer material, which is not conducive to the narrow border design.
[0037] In addition, for a COE (Color on Encapsulation) display substrate, due to the large step difference of the organic encapsulation layer, the thickness of the color film structure layer located above the organic encapsulation layer is uneven, resulting in poor edge emission uniformity of the display substrate.
[0038] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display substrate, comprising: a display area and a border area disposed around the display area; the border area includes a dummy pixel area and an isolation area sequentially disposed in a direction away from the display area, the dummy pixel area includes a packaging structure layer disposed on a substrate, the packaging structure layer at least includes an organic packaging layer, an isolation groove is disposed in the dummy pixel area, the isolation groove is disposed on a side of the organic packaging layer close to the substrate, a filling layer is disposed in the isolation groove, and at least a part of a positive projection of the organic packaging layer on the substrate overlaps with a positive projection of the filling layer on the substrate.

The shape of the border area 200 may be rectangular ring-shaped or rounded rectangular ring-shaped, and the border area 200 includes a dummy pixel area (Dummy Pixel) and an isolation area sequentially disposed in a direction away from the display area 100.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, a side wall of the isolation groove 11 on a side close to the display area 100 includes a side surface of the dielectric structure layer 20 on a side away from the display area 100, and a side wall of the isolation groove 11 on a side away from the display area 100 includes a side wall of the first isolation wall 401 on a side close to the display area 100.
[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the filling layer 121 is disposed in the isolation groove 11.

The filling layer 121 is made of an insulating material. At least a part of the orthographic projection of the filling layer 121 on the substrate 101 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the signal trace 13 on the substrate 101. Wherein, the signal trace 13 may include a Flexible Multi-Layer On Cell (FMLOC) trace.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the display substrate fills the isolation groove 11 through the filling layer 121, reduces the step difference formed by the isolation groove 11, thereby reducing the step difference formed by the subsequent organic encapsulation layer 303 above the isolation groove 11, ensuring the encapsulation effect of the organic encapsulation layer 303, and avoiding short circuit of the signal trace 13 under the isolation groove 11.
