A display substrate is provided, including a display substrate that includes a display area and a bezel area; a plurality of scanning signal lines; a gate driver circuit in the bezel area; a plurality of load compensation units in the bezel area, where the load compensation units are between the gate driver circuit and a plurality of pixel units; and a plurality of scanning signal lead wires in the bezel area. At least one load compensation unit includes a compensation capacitor including a first compensation capacitor electrode in a first conductive layer and a second compensation capacitor electrode in a semiconductor layer, and an orthographic projection of the first compensation capacitor electrode on the base substrate at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of the second compensation capacitor electrode on the base substrate. The first compensation capacitor electrode is electrically connected to a scanning signal lead wire.
