Patent attributes
A display substrate and a display apparatus are provided. The display substrate includes a base substrate, a crack detection line and an electrostatic discharge element electrically connected to the crack detection line. The base substrate includes a main body area, an auxiliary area, and a necked-down area connecting the main body area and the auxiliary area, and a display area of the display substrate is in the main body area. The crack detection line surrounds, at least in part, the display area and extends through the necked-down area to the auxiliary area. A length direction of the necked-down area is parallel to a first direction; the main body area, the necked-down area and the auxiliary area are connected in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and the electrostatic discharge element is located in the auxiliary area.
