Display substrate, control method therefor, and display apparatus

A display substrate, comprising:

• a base substrate comprising a display region, wherein the display region comprises a plurality of display partitions;
• a plurality of sub-pixels located in the display region;
• and
• a plurality of drive circuits, wherein at least one drive circuit of the plurality of drive circuits corresponds to one display partition;
• and the at least one drive circuit is configured to provide a gate drive signal to the plurality of sub-pixels within a corresponding display partition to enable display refresh frequencies of the plurality of display partitions to be the same or at least partially different,
• wherein the plurality of display partitions at least comprises:
• a first partition and a second partition, and the first partition and the second partition are adjacent in a direction;
• the display substrate further comprises a first control circuit, and the plurality of drive circuits comprises at least one first drive circuit and at least one second drive circuit;
• when display refresh frequencies of the first partition and the second partition are the same, the first control circuit is configured to enable an output terminal of a last-stage first scan control unit of the at least one first drive circuit and an input terminal of a first-stage second scan control unit of the at least one second drive circuit to be connected under control of a first control line and a second control line;
• and
• when the display refresh frequencies of the first partition and the second partition are different, the first control circuit is configured to enable a second start signal line and the input terminal of the first-stage second scan control unit of the at least one second drive circuit to be connected under control of the first control line and the second control line.
