Abstract

A display substrate, a manufacturing method thereof and a display device are provided. The display substrate includes: a base substrate, a display region disposed on the base substrate, and a peripheral region disposed at a periphery of the display region, and the peripheral region is provided with a filling area recessed toward the base substrate; the filling area is provided with an alignment mark and a filling material; and the filling material is configured for filling the filling area. The filling material is provided in filling the filling area of the display substrate, to reduce or eliminate a segment difference at the filling area, and further to avoid the incorrect alignment of liquid crystal molecules caused by the segment difference in the rubbing process, and finally to avoid poor display due to uneven display of a display panel in the working process.

Claims (35)

the alignment mark comprises first alignment marks and second alignment marks, and the first alignment marks and the second alignment marks are spaced apart from each other,

each of the first alignment marks is not in contact with at least one of a left side or a right side of the filling area,

each of the second alignment marks is directly in contact with both the left side and the right side of the filling area, and

both the alignment mark and the filling material are disposed on the base substrate.

2. The display substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the alignment mark is disposed on one side closer to the base substrate compared with the filling material, and the filling material is disposed above the alignment mark and is made of a transparent material.

3. The display substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the filling material is configured for filling the filling area so that the filling area is flush with an area of the peripheral region outside of the filling area.

4. The display substrate according to claim 3 , wherein the display substrate is a color filter substrate, both the display region and the area of the peripheral region outside of the filling area comprise a black matrix, a color resin layer, and a dielectric protective layer, which are laminated arranged, and the filling area comprises the alignment mark and the dielectric protective layer.

5. The display substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of spacers are further disposed in the display region and the peripheral region, and the filling material is the same as a material of the spacers.

6. The display substrate according to claim 5 , wherein the filling material and the material of the spacers may be at least one selected from the group consisting of melamine resin, polystyrene resin, and urea resin.

7. The display substrate according to claim 1 , wherein shapes of vertical projections of the alignment marks on the base substrate comprise at least one of a cross shape, a circular shape, an annular shape, and a zigzagged shape.

8.
