[0082] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. However, the example embodiments can be implemented in various forms, and should not be understood as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein; on the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the ideas of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference signs in the drawings represent the same or similar structures, and thus repeated descriptions thereof will be omitted. The expressions of position and direction described in the present disclosure are described with reference to the drawings, but changes can be made as needed, and the changes are included in the protection scope of the present disclosure. The drawings of the present disclosure are only used to illustrate the relative positional relationship and do not represent the true proportions.
[0083] With the development of display technology, display screens are increasingly widely used. When a user uses an electronic product such as a mobile phone with a display screen to view private information, the user usually does not want to expose the private information to others, and thus display screens with a privacy protection function are increasingly favored by users. It has become a problem to be solved to develop display products that have good privacy protection effects and good display effects.
[0084] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a cross-sectional structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; and FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a top structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, where FIG. 1 can be regarded as a sectional view of FIG. 2 along sectional line A-A, the display substrate includes a substrate 11, a privacy sub-pixel 121, a first light-shielding layer 13, and a second light-shielding layer 14.
[0086] The substrate 11 is located at the bottom of the display substrate and is used to support and carry other film layers located thereon. The shape and size of the substrate 11 are adapted to the shape and size of the display substrate. Generally, the shape of the substrate 11 can be square, rectangular, etc., and when applied to a special-shaped display, the shape of the substrate 11 can also be a special shape such as a circle, etc., which is not limited herein. The material of the substrate 11 can be a rigid material such as glass, etc. to make a rigid display substrate. The material of the substrate 11 can also be a flexible material such as polyimide (PI), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc. to make a flexible display substrate. The flexible substrate 11 can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. When the substrate 11 adopts a multi-layer structure, a laminated structure of organic film layers and inorganic film layers arranged alternately can be adopted, wherein the inorganic film layers are located between adjacent organic film layers and can play a buffering role. The inorganic film layers can adopt a single material or a composite material such as silicon nitride (SiN x ), silicon oxide (SiO x ), etc., which is not limited herein.
[0087] The privacy sub-pixel 121 is located on one side of the substrate 11. The privacy sub-pixel 121 is used to emit light for image display in a privacy mode. In specific implementation, the display substrate can include a plurality of privacy sub-pixels 121. The more the number of the privacy sub-pixels 121, the more delicate the display image in the image display in the privacy mode. The plurality of privacy sub-pixels 121 can include red, green, and blue privacy sub-pixels for emitting red, green, and blue light respectively, so as to realize color display. The plurality of privacy sub-pixels 121 can also be used to emit light of the same color, so as to be used for displaying a monochrome image, which is not limited herein.
[0088] The first light-shielding layer 13 is located on the side of the privacy sub-pixel 121 away from the substrate 11. The first light-shielding layer 13 is provided with a plurality of first openings K1 corresponding to each privacy sub-pixel 121. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the first light-shielding layer 13 is provided with 4 first openings K1 corresponding to one privacy sub-pixel. In specific implementation, the first light-shielding layer 13 can be provided with a number of first openings K1 corresponding to one privacy sub-pixel, which is not limited herein.
[0089] The first light shielding layer 13 is provided with a plurality of first openings K1 corresponding to each of the privacy sub-pixels 121. Specifically, for each privacy sub-pixel 121, the first light shielding layer 13 is provided with a plurality of first openings K1 corresponding thereto, and the orthographic projection of each first opening K1 on the substrate 11 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the corresponding privacy sub-pixel 121 on the substrate. In specific implementation, the orthographic projection of each first opening K1 on the substrate 11 can fall within the orthographic projection of the corresponding privacy sub-pixel on the substrate 11, which is not limited herein. The first opening K1 is used for transmitting the light emitted by the corresponding privacy sub-pixel 121. When one privacy sub-pixel 121 corresponds to a plurality of first openings K1, the light emitted by the privacy sub-pixel 121 is emitted through the plurality of first openings K1 corresponding thereto, respectively. Since the opening size of the first opening K1 is small, the emission angle of the privacy sub-pixel 121 when emitting light from a single first opening K1 can be limited to a small range, thereby greatly reducing the proportion of large-angle light and optimizing the privacy effect.
[0090] The size of the plurality of first openings K2 provided by the first light shielding layer 13 corresponding to the same privacy sub-pixel can be the same, thereby improving the uniformity of the emitted light. The size of the first openings K1 provided by the first light shielding layer 13 corresponding to different privacy sub-pixels can also be the same, thereby improving the uniformity of the emitted light. This is not limited herein.
[0091] The number of first openings K1 corresponding to privacy sub-pixels of different colors can be the same or different, which can be set according to actual conditions in specific implementation, and is not limited herein. For example, in some embodiments, the orthographic projection area of a blue privacy sub-pixel on the substrate 11 is greater than the orthographic projection area of a red privacy sub-pixel on the substrate 11, and the orthographic projection area of the red privacy sub-pixel on the substrate 11 is greater than the orthographic projection area of a green privacy sub-pixel on the substrate 11. Therefore, when the first openings K1 are provided on the first light shielding layer 13, the number of first openings K1 corresponding to the same blue privacy sub-pixel is greater than the number of first openings K1 corresponding to the same red privacy sub-pixel, and the number of first openings K1 corresponding to the same red privacy sub-pixel is greater than the number of first openings K1 corresponding to the same green privacy sub-pixel.
[0092] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the orthographic projection of the first opening K1 on the substrate 11 can be circular. In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first opening K1 on the substrate 11 can also be other shapes, such as square, rectangular, diamond, elliptical, etc., which are not limited herein.
[0093] The second light shielding layer 14 is located on the side of the first light shielding layer 13 away from the substrate 11. The second light shielding layer 14 comprises a first light shielding structure 141. The orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 is located between the orthographic projections of adjacent first openings K1 on the substrate 11. The first light shielding structure 141 can further shield the large-angle light rays emitted through the first openings K1, and prevent crosstalk between the light rays emitted by different first openings K1, thereby further improving the privacy effect.
[0094] Meanwhile, due to the further shielding of the light rays emitted by the first openings K1 by the first light shielding structure 141, the aperture ratio of the display substrate is affected. The greater the width of the first light shielding structure 141, the smaller the aperture ratio of the display substrate, and the greater the impact on the display effect of the display substrate. Therefore, when manufacturing the first light shielding structure 141, it is necessary to reduce the width of the first light shielding structure 141 as much as possible, for example, the width of the first light shielding structure 141 is much smaller than the width of the first light shielding layer 13 located between two first openings K1, so as to improve the aperture ratio of the display substrate and improve the display effect.
[0095] In specific implementation, the first light shielding structure 141 can be made of a metal material. Compared with the organic material commonly used to manufacture the black matrix, the metal material has more accurate etching precision in the etching process, and can realize smaller line width compared with the organic material, thereby facilitating the reduction of the width of the first light shielding structure 141. In specific implementation, by using metal to manufacture the first light shielding structure 141, the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the widest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 can be less than or equal to a set value. The set value can be adjusted based on the specific structure of the display substrate, taking into account the privacy function and aperture ratio of the display substrate, so that the privacy effect and display effect of the display substrate can both reach a better state.
[0096] In some embodiments, the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the widest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 can be less than or equal to 5 μm. According to a large number of experiments of the researchers of the present disclosure, when the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the widest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 is less than or equal to 5 μm, the aperture ratio of the display substrate is greatly improved, the display effect of the display substrate is obviously improved, and the display substrate still has a good privacy effect. For example, for a display substrate in which the longitudinal distance h1 between the first light shielding layer 13 and the second light shielding layer 14 is 3 μm to 10 μm, and the longitudinal distance h2 between the first light shielding layer 13 and the privacy sub-pixel 121 is 3 μm to 8 μm, when the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the widest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 is less than or equal to 5 μm, the display effect is obviously improved, and the privacy effect is good. When the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the widest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 is 3 μm, the privacy effect and the display effect can reach a comprehensive optimal state.
[0097] In some embodiments, the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the narrowest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 can be greater than or equal to 2 μm. According to a large number of experiments of the researchers of the present disclosure, when the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the narrowest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 is less than 2 μm, the privacy effect is obviously decreased, and thus the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the narrowest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 is greater than or equal to 2 μm, which is beneficial to ensuring the privacy effect of the display substrate.
[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the orthographic projection of the first openings K1 on the substrate 11 is arranged in an array, the number of the first openings K1 in each of two adjacent rows and two adjacent columns is 4, the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the widest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 is generally the width w2 of the first light shielding structure 141 between two adjacent first openings K1 measured along the diagonal direction of the array, and the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the narrowest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 is generally the width w1 of the first light shielding structure 141 between two adjacent first openings K1 measured along the row direction or the column direction of the array. In specific implementation, according to the specific structure of the first light shielding structure 141, the widest position and the narrowest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 can also be at other positions, or the width of the first light shielding structure 141 at the widest position and the narrowest position of the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 can also be the same, which is not limited herein.
[0099] FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a cross-sectional structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; and FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a top structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0100] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, which can be regarded as a sectional view of FIG. 3 along the sectional line B-B, the second light shielding layer 14 further comprises second light shielding structures 142 (as shown in FIG. 4, the second light shielding layer 14 inside the dashed line is the first light shielding structure 141, and the second light shielding layer 14 outside the dashed line is the second light shielding structure 142). The second light shielding structure 142 defines a first patterned area P1 (as shown in FIG. 4, the area inside the dashed line), the first light shielding structure 141 is located within the first patterned area P1, and the first light shielding structure 141 and the second light shielding structure 142 are connected together. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first light shielding structure 141 and the second light shielding structure 142 together define a plurality of second openings K2. The second openings K2 correspond one-to-one to the first openings K1, and the orthographic projection of the first openings K1 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the second openings K2 on the substrate 11. The second openings K2 are used to transmit light rays emitted through the first openings K1, while the second light shielding structure 142 can shield large-angle light rays emitted through the first openings K1 and emitted outside the first patterned area P1, thereby ensuring the privacy effect of the display substrate. The orthographic projection of the second openings K2 on the substrate 11 is larger than the orthographic projection of the first openings K1 on the substrate 11, thereby ensuring the aperture ratio of the display substrate.
[0101] FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a cross-sectional structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; and FIG. 6 is a schematic view of a top structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0102] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the display substrate further comprises a third light shielding layer 15. The third light shielding layer 15 is located on the side of the second light shielding layer 14 away from the substrate 11. The third light shielding layer 15 is provided with third openings K3. The third openings K3 correspond one-to-one to the privacy sub-pixels 121, and the orthographic projection of a plurality of first openings K1 corresponding to the same privacy sub-pixel 121 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the corresponding third opening K3 on the substrate 11. The third light shielding layer 15 can be made of a black matrix material commonly used in the art, such as a black light-absorbing material including carbon black, without limitation.
[0103] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the second light shielding layer 14 is not provided with the second light shielding structure 142 around the first light shielding structure 141, the third openings K3 can transmit light rays emitted through the first openings K1, and the third light shielding layer 15 can shield large-angle light rays, thereby achieving the same or similar privacy effect as the second light shielding structure 142. In specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 5, the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 can be in contact with or at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the third light shielding layer 15 on the substrate, thereby avoiding light leakage between the orthographic projection of the first light shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 and the orthographic projection of the third light shielding layer 15 on the substrate 11.
[0104] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, a first buffer layer is further arranged between the second light shielding layer 14 and the third light shielding layer 15. The first buffer layer can play a buffering role. For example, when the third light shielding layer 15 is etched to form the third opening K3, the first buffer layer can protect the second light shielding layer 14 from being etched.
[0105] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0106] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the second light shielding layer 14 is provided with a second light shielding structure 142 around the first light shielding structure 141. The orthographic projection of the second light shielding structure 142 on the substrate 11 can be arranged to fall within the orthographic projection of the third light shielding layer 15 on the substrate 11. The third light shielding layer 15 can shield the second light shielding structure 142 from reflecting light incident from the outside of the display substrate, thereby improving the display effect.
[0107] FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the display substrate further includes a filter layer 16. The filter layer 16 includes a plurality of filter portions 161. The filter portions 161 are arranged in the third openings K3. The filter portions 161 are configured to transmit light of the same color as the corresponding privacy sub-pixel 121 of the third opening K3. For example, the display substrate includes blue privacy sub-pixels, red privacy sub-pixels, and green privacy sub-pixels. The plurality of filter portions 161 correspondingly include blue filter portions, red filter portions, and green filter portions. The blue filter portions are arranged in the third openings K3 corresponding to the blue privacy sub-pixels and are configured to transmit blue light and filter out light other than blue light. The red filter portions are arranged in the third openings K3 corresponding to the red privacy sub-pixels and are configured to transmit red light and filter out light other than red light. The green filter portions are arranged in the third openings K3 corresponding to the green privacy sub-pixels and are configured to transmit green light and filter out light other than green light. By arranging the filter layer 16 to filter out stray light, the purity of the colors can be improved. Moreover, the filter layer 16 can reduce the adverse effects of the reflection of ambient light by the light reflection film layer inside the display substrate on the display image, thereby improving the display effect of the display substrate in an outdoor strong light environment. Compared with the related art, which reduces the reflection of ambient light by arranging a polarizer, the present disclosure reduces the thickness of the display substrate by arranging the filter layer, thereby meeting the demand for thinness.
[0109] FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0110] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the display substrate further comprises a light condensing layer 17. The light condensing layer 17 is located on the side of the second light shielding layer 14 away from the substrate 11. Specifically, the light condensing layer 17 can be arranged on the side of the third light shielding layer away from the substrate 11.
[0111] The light condensing layer 17 comprises a plurality of first light condensing structures 171. The first light condensing structures 171 correspond to the first openings K1 one by one. The orthographic projection of the first openings K1 on the substrate 11 is within the orthographic projection of the corresponding first light condensing structures 171 on the substrate 11, so as to ensure that the light rays emitted through the first openings K1 can be totally or mostly incident into the corresponding first light condensing structures 171, improving the light utilization rate. The first light condensing structures 171 have the function of converging light rays, which can adjust large-angle light rays (the angle relative to the vertical direction is larger) into small-angle light rays (the angle relative to the vertical direction is smaller), so as to be beneficial to further improve the privacy effect of the display substrate, and be beneficial to improve the picture brightness when viewing the display substrate directly, and optimize the display effect.
[0112] In specific implementation, the first light condensing structures 171 can be convex lenses or other lenses with the same or similar functions, which are not limited here.
[0113] The shape of the first light condensing structures 171 is adapted to the shape of the first openings K1. For example, when the orthographic projection shape of the first openings K1 on the substrate 11 is circular, the orthographic projection of the first light condensing structures 171 on the substrate 11 can also be circular, and correspondingly, the solid shape of the first light condensing structures 171 can be part of a spherical shape, for example, the solid shape of the first light condensing structures 171 can be hemispherical. When the orthographic projection shape of the first openings K1 on the substrate 11 is other shapes, for example, square, the orthographic projection of the first light condensing structures 171 on the substrate 11 can be square, or the orthographic projection of the first light condensing structures 171 on the substrate 11 can also be circular or other shapes, as long as the orthographic projection of the first openings K1 on the substrate 11 falls within the orthographic projection of the corresponding first light condensing structures 171 on the substrate 11, which is not limited here.
[0114] In specific implementation, the height h3 of the first light-converging structure 171 can be set to be less than or equal to 6 μm. The aspect ratio of the first light-converging structure 171 can be set to be 0.3-0.7. The aspect ratio of the first light-converging structure 171 can specifically refer to the ratio of the height h3 of the first light-converging structure 171 to the maximum dimension w3 of the orthographic projection of the first light-converging structure 171 on the substrate 11. For example, the orthographic projection of the first light-converging structure 171 on the substrate 11 is circular, and the maximum dimension of the orthographic projection of the first light-converging structure 171 on the substrate 11 can be the diameter of the circle. For another example, the orthographic projection of the first light-converging structure 171 on the substrate 11 is square, and the maximum dimension of the orthographic projection of the first light-converging structure 171 on the substrate 11 can be the diagonal of the square, which is not limited herein.
[0115] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 contacts or partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first light-converging structure 171 on the substrate 11, so that the light leakage caused by the light exiting from the gap between the orthographic projection of the first light-shielding structure 141 on the substrate 11 and the orthographic projection of the first light-converging structure 171 on the substrate 11 can be avoided, and the converging effect of the first light-converging structure 171 on the light can be improved.
[0116] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the display substrate further includes a cover layer 18. The cover layer 18 is located on the side of the light-converging layer 17 away from the substrate 11. In specific implementation, the cover layer 18 covers the light-converging layer 17 and directly contacts the light-converging layer 17. The cover layer 18 can protect the light-converging layer 17 and can also play a role in planarization. In specific implementation, the refractive index of the cover layer 18 can be less than the refractive index of the light-converging layer 17, so as to reduce the total reflection of the light between the light-converging layer 17 and the cover layer 18 and improve the transmittance of the light. Specifically, the light-converging layer 17 can be made of a material with a refractive index greater than or equal to 1.6, and the cover layer 18 can be made of a material with a refractive index less than or equal to 1.5. The specific materials of the light-converging layer 17 and the cover layer 18 can be selected according to actual needs, which are not limited herein.
[0117] FIG. 10 is a schematic view of a cross-sectional structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0118] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, the display substrate further comprises shared sub-pixels 122. Specifically, the display substrate can be divided into a privacy display mode and a shared display mode when displaying images. In the privacy display mode, only the privacy sub-pixels 121 emit light to display images. In the privacy display mode, the light exit angle of the display substrate is small, and the display panel has good privacy effect. In the shared display mode, only the shared sub-pixels 122 emit light to display images or the shared sub-pixels 122 and the privacy sub-pixels 121 emit light at the same time to display images. In the shared display mode, the light exit angle of the display substrate increases due to the emission of the shared sub-pixels 122, which can greatly improve the viewing angle of the display substrate, thereby realizing shared display.
[0119] In implementation, the shared sub-pixels 122 and the privacy sub-pixels 121 are located in the same layer. The first light shielding layer 13 further has fourth openings K4 corresponding to each shared sub-pixel. One fourth opening K4 corresponds to one shared sub-pixel 122, and the orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 11 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the corresponding shared sub-pixel 122 on the substrate 11. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the shared sub-pixel 122 on the substrate 11, or the orthographic projection of the shared sub-pixel 122 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 11, or the orthographic projection of the shared sub-pixel 122 on the substrate 11 completely overlaps the orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 11, which is not limited herein.
[0120] In implementation, the third light shielding layer 15 further has an opening corresponding to the shared sub-pixel 122 for transmitting light emitted by the corresponding shared sub-pixel 122, and the orthographic projection of the opening on the substrate 11 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 11. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the opening on the substrate 11, or the orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 11 completely overlaps the orthographic projection of the opening on the substrate 11, which is not limited herein.
[0121] As shown in FIG. 10, the light collecting layer 17 further comprises second light collecting structures 172. The second light collecting structures 172 correspond to the fourth openings K4 one by one, and the orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the second light collecting structure 172 on the substrate 11, so as to ensure that the light transmitted by the fourth opening K4 can be totally incident to the second light collecting structure 172, avoiding light leakage.
[0122] The shape of the second light-concentrating structure 172 is adapted to the shape of the fourth opening K4. For example, when the orthographic projection shape of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 11 is circular, the orthographic projection of the second light-concentrating structure 172 on the substrate 11 can also be circular, and the three-dimensional shape of the first light-concentrating structure 171 can be hemispherical. When the orthographic projection shape of the fourth opening K1 on the substrate 11 is other shapes, such as a square, the orthographic projection of the second light-concentrating structure 172 on the substrate 11 can be a square, and the three-dimensional shape of the second light-concentrating structure 172 can be a part of a cylinder; or the orthographic projection of the second light-concentrating structure 172 on the substrate 11 can also be circular or other shapes, as long as the orthographic projection of the fourth opening K4 on the substrate 11 falls within the orthographic projection of the corresponding second light-concentrating structure 172 on the substrate 11, which is not limited herein.
[0123] In specific implementation, the second light-concentrating structure 172 can be a convex lens or other lenses with the same or similar functions, which is not limited herein.
[0124] FIG. 11 is a schematic view of a cross-sectional structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0125] In some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a pixel definition layer 19. The pixel definition layer 19 is located between the substrate 11 and the first light-blocking layer 13. The pixel definition layer 19 includes a plurality of second patterned regions P2. One second patterned region P2 includes a plurality of first pixel openings PK1, and the first pixel openings PK1 correspond one-to-one to the first openings K1. The orthographic projection of the first pixel openings PK1 on the substrate 11 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the corresponding first openings K1 on the substrate 11. For example, the orthographic projection of the first pixel openings PK1 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the corresponding first openings K1 on the substrate 11; or the orthographic projection of the first openings K1 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the first pixel openings PK1 on the substrate 11; or the orthographic projection of the first openings K1 on the substrate 11 completely overlaps the orthographic projection of the first pixel openings PK1 on the substrate 11, which is not limited herein.
[0126] In specific implementation, the anti-peep sub-pixel 121 corresponds one-to-one to the second patterned region P2. One anti-peep sub-pixel 121 includes a plurality of light-emitting parts 1211, and the light-emitting parts 1211 of one anti-peep sub-pixel 121 are arranged in the first pixel openings PK1 in the second patterned region P2 corresponding to the anti-peep sub-pixel 121. Specifically, by dividing one anti-peep sub-pixel 121 into a plurality of light-emitting parts 1211, the light-emitting area of each light-emitting part 1211 can be reduced, and the light-emitting angle of the anti-peep sub-pixel 121 can be further reduced, thereby improving the anti-peep effect.
[0127] In some embodiments, the plurality of first pixel openings PK1 within the same second patterning area P2 have the same size, so that the light uniformity of each light emitting part 1211 of the privacy sub-pixel 121 can be improved. In specific implementation, the shape of the orthographic projection of the first pixel opening PK1 on the substrate can be adapted to the shape of the orthographic projection of the corresponding first opening K1 on the substrate 11. For example, the orthographic projection of the first opening K1 on the substrate 11 is circular, and the orthographic projection of the first pixel opening PK1 on the substrate can also be circular, which is not limited herein.

Specifically, a plurality of light emitting parts 1211 of the privacy sub-pixel 121 are connected to the same first electrode 201 in correspondence.
[0130] In specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 12, the orthographic projection of the second patterning area P2 on the substrate 11 can be arranged to fall within the orthographic projection of the corresponding first electrode 201 on the substrate 11.

One first electrode 201 corresponds to one second electrode 202, and the first electrode 201 and the corresponding second electrode 202 are connected to the same pixel circuit. That is, one pixel circuit can be connected to one privacy sub-pixel 121 and one shared sub-pixel 122 at the same time, so that the switching between the privacy mode and the sharing mode can be realized by one pixel circuit, thereby facilitating the reduction of the number of pixel circuits in the driving circuit layer 20 and the reduction of the design and manufacturing difficulty of the display substrate.

[0155] In a specific manufacturing process of a display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 20, first, the driving circuit layer 20 and the pixel definition layer 19 are sequentially manufactured on the substrate 11. Specifically, the manufacturing process of the driving circuit layer 20 includes manufacturing a second buffer layer (Buffer), a patterned active layer (p-si), a gate insulating layer (GI), a gate (Gate), a source (Source) and a drain (Drain), a planar layer (PLN), a first electrode 201, and a second electrode 202 on the substrate 11.
