[0115] Detailed Explanation

[0116] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The implementation can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into other forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0117] In the accompanying drawings, the size of one or more constituent elements, the thickness of layers, or areas are sometimes exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, this disclosure is not necessarily limited to these dimensions, and the shape and size of one or more parts in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate ideal examples, and this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0118] The ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit the quantity. The term "multiple" in this disclosure refers to two or more quantities.

[0119] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of the constituent elements being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0120] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or joint; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. "Joining" can include "electrical connection," which includes situations where constituent elements are connected together by a component having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the term "component having some electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission of electrical signals between the connected constituent elements. Examples of "component having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other multifunctional components. Those skilled in the art will understand the meaning of the above terms in this disclosure as appropriate.

[0121] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate (gate electrode), a drain, and a source. A transistor has a channel region between its drain (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and its source (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain, the channel region, and the source. In this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0122] In this specification, the first terminal can be the drain and the second terminal can be the source, or vice versa. Additionally, the gate can also be called the control terminal. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or where the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source" and "drain" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source" and "drain" can be interchanged.

[0123] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.

[0124] In this specification, circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined. They can be approximate circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, such as chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.

[0125] In this specification, "approximately" and "roughly" mean without strictly defined limits, allowing for errors in the process and measurement. In this disclosure, "roughly the same" means that the values ​​differ by no more than 10%.

[0126] In this specification, "A extends along direction B" means that A may include a main part and a secondary part connected to the main part. The main part is a line, line segment, or strip-shaped solid. The main part extends along direction B, and the length of the main part extending along direction B is greater than the length of the secondary part extending along other directions. In this specification, "A extends along direction B" refers to "the main part of A extends along direction B".

[0127] The phrase "A and B are of the same layer" in this specification means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same drafting process. "Same layer" does not always mean that the layer thickness or layer height is the same in the cross-sectional view. "The orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the orthographic projection of B falls within the orthographic projection area of ​​A, or the orthographic projection of A covers the orthographic projection of B.

[0128] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0129] In embodiments of this disclosure, the thickness of a component refers to the dimension of the component in a direction perpendicular to the substrate.

[0130] The display substrate includes a display area and a hole area. When the isolation pillars in the hole area are energized, they will undergo electrochemical corrosion, and there will be residual adhesive on the isolation pillars. When the display substrate is opened, moisture will enter the display area along the residual adhesive, which can cause black spots to appear on the display substrate and affect the display effect of the display substrate.

[0131] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a display substrate according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the shape of the display substrate can be a closed polygon including linear edges. The display substrate may include: a display area AA, a hole area at least partially surrounded by the display area AA, a bonding area BB located on one side of the display area AA, and a border area CC located on at least one side of the display area AA.

The "patterning process" described in this disclosure includes, for metallic, inorganic, or transparent conductive materials, processes such as photoresist coating, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping; for organic materials, it includes processes such as organic material coating, mask exposure, and development.

This disclosure does not limit the methods used. A "thin film" refers to a thin film made of a certain material on a substrate using deposition, coating, or other processes. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it can also be called a "layer." If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern." The phrase "A and B are arranged in the same layer" in this disclosure means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer is the dimension of the film layer in the direction perpendicular to the display substrate. In the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary range of the orthographic projection of A, or the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.
