The invention discloses a display panel and a
display device. The display panel comprises a substrate, a gate drive circuit and a plurality of sub-pixel circuits. A grid
driving circuit of the display panel comprises a plurality of driving units which are arranged in a
cascade mode, effective driving units in the driving units are electrically connected with sub-pixel circuits, virtual driving units in the driving units are disconnected with the sub-pixel circuits, and the virtual driving units do not have an output function. The dummy driving units may input shift signals to the corresponding active driving units. Therefore, the partial structure of the virtual driving unit is similar to that of the effective driving unit, so that the
etching uniformity of the gate
driving circuit can be improved, the deviation of the
line width and the thickness of the lines formed by
etching in different areas of the gate
driving circuit is reduced, and the reliability of the gate driving circuit is improved. And the load uniformity of the shift signals accessed by the plurality of effective driving units can be improved, so that the stability of the display panel can be improved.
