When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0048] With the development of technology, users have higher and higher requirements for the performance of display devices, such as screen-to-body ratio. In order to achieve a high screen-to-body ratio, HIAA (Hole In Active Area) technology is usually used. HIAA technology is to place the mobile phone camera under the mobile phone display panel, and this area is not displayed, which is the common hole-punch screen or perforated screen on the market.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in the related art, the display panel 100 includes an opening area 101, a transition area 102 and a display area 103 (ActiveArea, which can be referred to as AA area), the opening area 101 is located in the display area 103, and the transition area 102 is located between the opening area 101 and the display area 103.

For example, the virtual pixels include a driving circuit layer, and the driving circuit layer includes transistors, capacitors and signal lines. Since the virtual pixels do not directly participate in the display of the image, the driving circuit layer of the virtual pixels is usually not connected to the power supply voltage. Then the virtual pixels located in the opening area are in a floating state, which is not conducive to the discharge of static electricity, and electrostatic discharge damage (Electrostatic Discharge Damage) may occur and cause defects. In other words, since the virtual pixels in the opening area 101 are in a floating state, static electricity is easily accumulated during the manufacturing process, thereby causing damage to the circuits and components.

[0050] Based on this, the present application provides a display panel that, by connecting a fixed voltage signal, prevents static electricity from damaging circuits and components during the manufacturing process. See the following embodiments for details.

[0061] Among them, the first signal line 12 is used to input a fixed voltage signal to the virtual pixel 11. By connecting the fixed voltage signal, the floating state of the virtual pixel and the process static electricity problem can be effectively avoided, the stability of the electrical connection can be enhanced, and the reliability of the display panel 100 and the stability of the production process can be improved.

[0062] Specifically, the first signal line 12 is a first power line for providing voltage to the pixel driving circuit. The power voltage can be transmitted to the pixel driving circuit in the display area 103 through the first signal line 12 .

[0066] Preferably, the electrostatic shielding layer 13 is electrically connected to all the first signal lines 12 in the driving circuit layer 15 .

[0067] Among them, the electrostatic shielding layer 13 is located between the substrate 10 and the driving circuit layer 15, and the signal line in the driving circuit layer 15 is electrically connected to the first signal line 12 through the electrostatic shielding layer 13, so that the signal line of the virtual pixel 11 has the same potential as the first power supply signal ELVDD, such as a high-level fixed potential. Through the fixed potential, the port of the peripheral virtual pixel 11 can be prevented from floating, and the anti-static ability of the corresponding virtual pixel 11 can be improved, thereby reducing the impact of static charge on the performance of the display panel 100.

[0068] Specifically, a display function layer is provided on the side of the driving circuit layer 15 away from the substrate 10.

[0072] Specifically, since the driving circuit layer 15 and the electrostatic shielding layer 13 are arranged in different layers, the driving circuit layer 15 and the electrostatic shielding layer 13 in the opening area 101 can be electrically connected by using a line-swapping technology. At the same time, the area of ​​the positive projection of the non-display area on the substrate 10 is also reduced, effectively reducing the screen-to-body ratio of the non-display area, which helps to improve the visual experience.
