the third distance is less than the first distance and is less than the second distance;

wherein edges or tips of notches in the respective first column that are closest to the respective second column define a first imaginary line;

the first imaginary line crosses over notches in the respective second column;

edges or tips of notches in the respective second column that are closest to the respective first column define a second imaginary line; and

the second imaginary line crosses over notches in the respective first column;

wherein edges or tips of notches in a respective first row of the plurality of first rows that are closest to a respective second row of the plurality of second rows define a third imaginary line;

the third imaginary line crosses over notches in the respective second row;

edges or tips of notches in the respective second row that are closest to the respective first row define a fourth imaginary line; and

the fourth imaginary line crosses over notches in the respective first row;

wherein the sub-region is a corner region of the substrate, the corner region has a curved shape and is absent of any electrodes or signal lines.

2. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein centers of two directly adjacent notches respectively in two adjacent first rows of the plurality of first rows are spaced apart from each other by a fourth distance along the column direction;

centers of two directly adjacent notches respectively in two adjacent second rows of the plurality of second rows are spaced apart from each other by a fifth distance along the column direction;

centers of two directly adjacent notches respectively in a respective first row of the plurality of first rows and a respective second row of the plurality of second rows are spaced apart by a sixth distance along the column direction, the respective first row and the respective second row directly adjacent to each other; and

the sixth distance is less than the third distance and is less than the fourth distance.

3. The substrate according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of notches are arranged along a same direction, one of diagonals of the regular polygon is parallel with the row direction.

4. The substrate according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of notches are arranged along a same direction, one of diagonals of the regular polygon is perpendicular to the row direction.

5. The substrate according to claim 1 , further comprising a structural layer on the base substrate, wherein the plurality of notches are located in the structural layer.
