Abstract

A display substrate and its manufacturing method, a display panel and a display apparatus are provided. The display substrate includes a base ( 10 ), a light-emitting device layer ( 20 ) on the base ( 10 ), and an encapsulation structure ( 30 ) on a side of the light-emitting device layer ( 20 ) away from the base ( 10 ). A film layer farthest from the base ( 10 ) in the light-emitting device layer ( 20 ) is a light extraction layer ( 21 ). The encapsulation structure ( 30 ) includes a first inorganic encapsulation layer ( 31 ), an organic encapsulation layer ( 32 ) on a side of the first inorganic encapsulation layer ( 31 ) away from the base ( 10 ), and a second inorganic encapsulation layer ( 33 ) on a side of the organic encapsulation layer ( 32 ) away from the base ( 10 ). The first inorganic encapsulation layer ( 31 ) includes sub-film layers in which the one closest to the light extraction layer ( 21 ) is a low-stress inorganic layer ( 301 ) with a stress less than that of the second inorganic encapsulation layer ( 33 ). The display panel includes the display substrate. The display apparatus includes the display panel.
