Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate and a display apparatus. The display substrate comprises: multiple repetition units, where at least one repetition unit includes multiple subpixels including first subpixels and second subpixels. In the first subpixel, an orthographic projection of an anode adapter portion on a base substrate does not overlap an orthographic projection of a drive active layer on the base substrate, and an orthographic projection of a main body portion on the base substrate does not overlap the orthographic projection of the anode adapter portion on the base substrate. In the second subpixel, an orthographic projection of an anode adapter portion on the base substrate overlaps an orthographic projection of a drive active layer on the base substrate, and an orthographic projection of a main body portion on the base substrate overlaps the orthographic projection of the anode adapter portion on the base substrate.
