Abstract

Provided is a display substrate including a flexible base substrate, a first filling layer, and an encapsulation layer. The flexible base substrate includes at least one stretch display region. The stretch display region includes multiple pixel island regions spaced apart from each other, multiple hole regions, and a connection bridge region located between a pixel island region and a hole region. At least one hole region is provided with one or more first through holes penetrating the flexible base substrate. The first filling layer is located in the hole region and is filled in a first through hole. The encapsulation layer is located on a side of the first filling layer away from the flexible base substrate, and an orthographic projection of the encapsulation layer on the flexible base substrate is partially overlapped with or is not overlapped with the first filling layer.
