A display substrate and a display device are provided. In the display substrate, a first signal line transmitting a first scan signal extends along a first direction and a second signal line transmitting a data signal extends along a second direction; the data writing transistor transmits the data signal to the driving transistor under control of the first scan signal, the first scan signal is transmitted on the first signal line, and the data signal is transmitted on the second signal line; the driving transistor controls magnitude of a driving current according to the data signal; the channel region at least partially overlaps with the gate electrode; a planar shape of the channel region of the driving transistor is a strip shape extending along the second direction; the light emitting device receives the driving current and is driven by the driving current to emit light.
