[0008] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be explained clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments do not represent all embodiments, but only a part of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative work should be considered to be covered by the scope of the present application.
[0009] With reference to Fig. 1 to 19, an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100 that may include a display portion 200 and a driving portion 300 arranged on one side of the display portion 200, wherein the display portion 200 and the driving portion 300 are arranged along the first direction X.
[0010] In the present embodiment, the driving section 300 may be a one-sided driving or a two-sided driving, for example, the structure in Fig. 1 is a two-way control.
[0011] In the present embodiment, the display section 200 may include a plurality of sub-pixel rows 210, wherein each sub-pixel row 210 includes a plurality of sub-pixel units 211, and wherein a pixel circuit 211a is arranged in each sub-pixel unit 211; and wherein a plurality of sub-pixel units 211 are arranged along a first direction X and a plurality of sub-pixel rows 210 are arranged along a second direction Y.
[0012] With reference to Fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the driving section 300 includes a first driving circuit 310 and a second driving circuit 320 arranged along the first direction X, the second driving circuit 320 being arranged between the first driving circuit 310 and the display section 200, and the first driving circuit 310 includes a plurality of first driving modules 311 arranged along a second direction Y, and the second driving circuit 320 includes a plurality of second driving modules 321 arranged along the second direction Y.
[0013] It should be noted that a plurality of first drive modules 311 are cascaded first GOA units, a plurality of second drive modules 321 are cascaded second GOA units, and the first drive module 311 and the second drive module 321 have different structures; according to the differences in the structures of the first drive module 311 and the second drive module 321, the first drive module 311 can simultaneously output at least one first control signal and the second drive module 321 can simultaneously output at least one second control signal.
[0014] In the present embodiment, an output end of one of the first drive modules 311 is electrically connected to the pixel circuit 211a in the k adjacent sub-pixel rows 210, and an output end of one of the second drive modules 321 is electrically connected to the pixel circuit 211a in the j adjacent sub-pixel rows 210.

For example, one of the second drive modules 321 in the existing display panel 100 outputs only a control signal to the pixel circuit 211a of one sub-pixel row 210, while one of the second drive modules 321 of the present application simultaneously outputs a control signal to the pixel circuits 211a of two sub-pixel rows 210. This corresponds to halving the number of second drive modules 321, and reducing the number of second drive modules 321 allows the second drive circuit 320 to reserve a large amount of space in the second direction Y for the arrangement of other drive elements, for example,Devices arranged transversely in the second driving module 321 may be arranged in the longitudinal direction, or driving elements in the other driving circuits may be arranged in the area, thereby reducing the space occupied by the driving section 300 in the edge to realize a narrow edge design of the display panel 100.

[0028] In the structure according to Fig. 5, the potential of the first reset node G and the second reset node S must be reset to a reference potential, and therefore, a control signal for turning on the first reset transistor T3 must be input to the gate of the first reset transistor T3 and a control signal for turning on the second reset transistor T4 must be input to the gate of the second reset transistor T4 before the switching transistor T1 is turned on.
[0029] In the pixel circuit 211a according to Fig. 5, may, with reference to Fig. 6 and Fig. 8, the drive section 300 may further comprise a third drive circuit 330, wherein the first drive circuit 310, the second drive circuit 320, and the third drive circuit 330 are arranged along the first direction X, wherein the third drive circuit 330 comprises a plurality of third drive modules 331 arranged along the second direction Y, and wherein each of the third drive modules 331 comprises a fourth signal output REF(n) for outputting a third control signal.

[0034] With reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the number of first control modules 311 is greater than the number of second control modules 321; and due to the reduction in the number of second control modules 321, the width of the second control modules 321 in the first direction X is reduced, iein the first direction X, the width of the first drive modules 311 is greater than the width of the second drive modules 321, and in the second direction Y, the length of the first drive modules 311 is shorter than the length of the second drive modules 321, therefore, the lateral width of the second drive modules 321 of the present application is reduced, but the longitudinal length is increased, so that the longitudinal length of the first drive circuit 310 and the longitudinal length of the second drive circuit 320 can be the same, in this way, the lateral space occupied by the second drive module 321 in the edge of the display panel 100 is reduced and a narrow edge design is realized; analogously, with reference to . Fig. 6 and Fig. 8, the number of second drive modules 321 may be the same as the number of third drive modules 331, that is, in the first direction X, the width of the first drive modules 311 is greater than the width of the third drive modules 331, and in the second direction Y, the length of the first drive modules 311 is smaller than the length of the third drive modules 331, namely, the lateral width of the third drive modules 331 is reduced, but the longitudinal length is increased, so that the longitudinal length of the first drive circuit 310 and the longitudinal length of the third drive circuit 330 can be the same, in this way, the lateral space occupied by the third drive module 321 in the edge of the display panel 100 is reduced to further reduce the edge of the display panel 100.
