[0076] Since P1 connected by S1 is located at the position of the first sub-area 1031 farthest from the second sub-area 1032, the length of the winding segment 313 corresponding to S1 is the largest, so that S1 is located at the position farthest from S201 among S1 to S200, and P200 connected by S200 is located at the position of the first sub-area 1031 closest to the second sub-area 1032, so that the length of the winding segment 313 corresponding to S2 is the smallest, so that S200 is adjacent to S201, and by analogy, the remaining first output units 11 are arranged according to the positions of the first circuit units 21 connected by them, so that S1 to S200 are arranged in reverse order from left to right, and the end of the driving assembly 10 is the edge second output unit 121 (S210), wherein S201 and S202 are separated by S200, S202 and S203 (not shown in the figure) are separated by S199, S399 and S400 are separated by S2, S400 and S401 are separated by S1, and in the above, the embodiment of the present application arranges the first output units 11 in reverse order and the second output units 12 in order in the driving assembly 10, and the first output units 11 and the second output units 12 are arranged in disorder alternately, and cooperates with the plurality of winding segments 313 arranged in nesting in the first connection line 31, so that the plurality of circuit units P1 to P610 can be arranged in order, that is, the circuit units can be arranged in position with the corresponding data line groups or pixel unit groups.

[0077] Further, please refer to Figure 6 , wherein Figure 6The first connection line 31, the second connection line 32, the driving component 10 and the multiplexing circuit 20 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the display area 101. Figure 6 The plurality of winding segments 313 on the left side of the display area 101 form a winding group. Figure 6 The plurality of winding segments 313 on the right side of the display area 101 form a winding group.

[0078] In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, the first line segment 311 and the second line segment 312 of the first connection line 31 located outside the display area 101 are set as straight line segments, and the winding segment 313 in a curve or a broken line is set in the display area 101, thereby effectively reducing the wiring space outside the display area 101 to reduce the frame width. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the winding is arranged in the first connection line 31 between the first output unit 11 and the first circuit unit 21 to realize signal transmission, so that the first circuit unit 21 can be aligned with the corresponding pixel unit group along the first direction M, and the data line 50 in the data line group corresponding to the pixel unit group can be connected to the corresponding first circuit unit 21 along the first direction M. Since there are at least two data lines 50 in each data line group, for example, there can be four data lines, the embodiment of the present application avoids winding a large number of data lines 50 in the display area 101, and makes a small number of first connection lines 31 wind, thereby reducing the arrangement space of the winding in the display area 101, simplifying the wiring difficulty, and reducing signal interference.
