Embodiments of the present disclosure and features of embodiments may be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits a detailed description of some known functions and known components. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure relate only to the structures related to the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures may be referred to in general
The scale of the drawings in this disclosure may be referred to in the actual process, but is not limited thereto. For example: the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and the spacing of each film layer, and the width and the spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the number shown in the drawings, the drawings described in the present disclosure are only schematic structural drawings, and one mode of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings, etc.

The positional relationship of the constituent elements is appropriately changed according to the direction in which the respective constituent elements are described. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the words described in the specification, and may be appropriately replaced according to circumstances.
In this specification, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" are to be construed broadly, unless explicitly stated or limited otherwise. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a removable connection, or an integral connection; may be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through intermediate members, or may be in communication with the interior of two elements. The specific meaning of the terms in this disclosure will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art in the specific context.
In this specification, a transistor means an element including at least three terminals of a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (a drain electrode terminal, a drain region, or a drain electrode) and a source electrode (a source electrode terminal, a source region, or a source electrode), and a current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, a channel region refers to a region through which current mainly flows.
In this specification, the first electrode may be a drain electrode, the second electrode may be a source electrode, or the first electrode may be a source electrode and the second electrode may be a drain electrode. In the case of using a transistor having opposite polarity, or in the case of a change in the direction of current during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" may be interchanged.

In the present specification, "parallel" means a state in which two straight lines form an angle of-10 ° or more and 10 ° or less, and therefore, a state in which the angle is-5 ° or more and 5 ° or less is also included. The term "perpendicular" refers to a state in which the angle formed by two straight lines is 80 ° or more and 100 ° or less, and thus includes a state in which the angle is 85 ° or more and 95 ° or less.
In this specification, "film" and "layer" may be exchanged with each other. For example, the "conductive layer" may be sometimes replaced with a "conductive film". In the same manner, the "insulating film" may be replaced with the "insulating layer" in some cases.

The present inventors have found that when a screen at a first position and a screen at a second position vibrate simultaneously, in addition to pushing air to vibrate to make a sound, vibration waves at the two positions propagate in the screen, when the vibration waves at the two positions meet at an intermediate position, superposition of two rows of vibration waves occurs, and superposition of two vibration waves traveling at the same frequency but in opposite directions generates a standing wave effect, so that the amplitude and energy at the intermediate position are greatly enhanced, not only the display effect of the screen, such as waviness, etc., can be affected, but also mechanical problems of the screen, such as screen deformation, can occur. In addition, the existing screen sounding product is usually provided with a display structure and a sounding structure part respectively, and then the display structure and the sounding structure part are attached together, so that the integration level of the product is low, the whole thickness is thick, and the requirements of light and thin are not facilitated.

In an exemplary embodiment, the isolation groove may be used as a physical dividing unit, and a physical separation is formed between the sound generating units, so that the vibration waves generated by the sound generating units stop propagating when propagating to the isolation groove, thereby avoiding the standing wave effect (resonance phenomenon) generated by superposition of the vibration waves, avoiding the influence of the standing wave effect on the screen display effect, and avoiding the generation of the screen mechanics problem due to the standing wave effect.
