[0136] Please also read Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the present application provides a display panel 100 , which includes a substrate, the substrate including a substrate 10 and an array wiring arranged on one side of the substrate 10 in a thickness direction.
[0137] It should be noted that after the array wiring is formed on the substrate 10 , it is usually necessary to use a detection circuit to detect the array wiring.
[0138] For example, the substrate of the display panel 100 includes a substrate 10 and array wiring, the substrate includes a screen body area 110, an off-screen area 120 and a cutting area 130, the cutting area 130 includes a portion located in the screen body area 110 (a first cutting area 131) and a portion located in the off-screen area 120 (a first cutting area 131), the array wiring is located in the screen body area 110, and the detection circuit is located in the off-screen area 120.
[0139] The substrate further includes a display area 111 and a border area 112 . The border area 112 at least partially surrounds the display area 111 . The border area 112 includes a main frame area 1121 close to the display area 111 and a first cutting area 131 away from the display area 111 . At least part of the array wiring is located in the display area 111 .
[0140] It can be understood that the screen area 110 includes a display area 111 and a frame area 112 .
[0141] The inventors found that it is usually necessary to use detection lines to connect the detection circuit and the array lines. However, after the detection is completed, the detection lines need to be cut in the cutting area 130 to remove the off-screen area 120 with the detection circuit, and the detection lines are easily exposed.
[0142] Please also read Figure 4 and Figure 5 The display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a first wiring 20 and a packaging structure. The first wiring 20 is arranged on the substrate, and at least part of the first wiring 20 is located in the main frame area 1121. The packaging structure is located on the side of the first wiring 20 away from the substrate, and the orthographic projection of the packaging structure on the substrate covers the orthographic projection of the first wiring 20 on the substrate.
[0143] It can be understood that the first trace 20 is the portion left after the detection trace is cut.
[0144] In the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, at least part of the first wiring 20 is located in the main frame area 1121, and the packaging structure can cover the first wiring 20, thereby preventing the first wiring 20 from being exposed. In addition, at least part of the packaging structure is located in the first cutting area 131, and the orthographic projection of the packaging structure located in the first cutting area 131 on the substrate has a first boundary away from the display area 111, and the orthographic projection of the first wiring 20 on the substrate has a second boundary away from the display area 111, and the first boundary is located on the side of the second boundary away from the display area 111. In this way, the packaging structure can completely cover the first wiring 20 in the first cutting area 131, so that the first wiring 20 is exposed and will not be exposed in the first cutting area 131.
[0145] Therefore, the display panel 100 provided in the present application can prevent the first wiring 20 from being exposed, which is beneficial to improving reliability and thus improving performance.
[0146] Therefore, the display panel 100 provided in the present application is helpful to improve the performance of the display device.
[0147] Optionally, the packaging structure includes a first packaging structure 30 and a second packaging structure 40, and the first packaging structure 30 and the second packaging structure 40 are connected.
