This isn't vt(4), that's a terminal connection, vt(4) is the console. And looking at the way it looks I suspect you have a custom ~/.screenrc that remapped some things.
 
Dear all :
thanks for your help . problem be removed by my most test . thanks. below picture is my wanted.
most important about key inputting.
when you open a screen command in terminal , or VT(4) console.
1. now you will create first screen terminal window, this time you can spit window, or create other terminal window too.
2. if you want to spit window first ,then add new terminal window. fellow my step .
in screen window, type " ctl + a " first , then release your finger from keyboard, then press "shift+s " , now you will see the split window.
import point is : type "ctl+a" , release your finger from keyboard. then type again "shift+s" .... all screen command is fellow this step.

my wrong was : type "ctl+a+shift+s " in the same time , no release my finger from keyboard. thanks for all.

Yes, that's not correct. It's ctrl-a, then shift-s. Not all four keys at the same time. The ctrl-a is the "attention" signal to screen(1), it tells it to expect the next key (or key combination) to be something for screen(1) to respond to.
