In this embodiment, the edge of the display panel refers to its lower edge. In this case, both the second shift register and the gating circuit are located on the side of the pixel driving circuit array facing the edge of the display panel, with the second shift register positioned between the gating circuit and the edge of the display panel. This means the gating circuit is closer to the pixel driving circuit array than the second shift register, and thus closer to the end of the data line. Therefore, when connecting the end of the data line to the gating circuit, the connection can be achieved without passing through the second shift register, thereby avoiding signal interference from the second shift register to the data line and improving the accuracy of the data signal transmitted on the data line. Meanwhile, by placing the gating circuit between the second shift register and the pixel driving circuit array, there is no interference from other lines between the data line and the gating circuit. The data line can be connected to the gating circuit without being replaced, thus avoiding the risk of wire breakage or short circuit when replacing the data line, which helps to improve the display stability of the display panel.

[0067] The solution of this application will be described below. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0068] Many details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0069] Figure 1 shows a planar structural diagram of a display panel provided in an embodiment of this application. Referring to Figure 1, the display panel 100 provided in this application includes a pixel driving circuit array 10, a shift register circuit 20, and a gating circuit 30, as well as pixel driving lines GL and data lines DL. The pixel driving circuit array 10 includes multiple pixel driving circuits 11. Figure 1 only illustrates the relative positional relationship between the pixel driving circuit array 10, the shift register circuit 20, and the gating circuit 30, and does not limit the actual number and arrangement of pixel driving circuits 11 contained in the pixel driving circuit array 10, nor does it limit the actual number of shift registers contained in the shift register circuit 20.

[0070] In the display panel 100 provided in this application, pixel driving lines GL and data lines DL are electrically connected to pixel driving circuit 11. Pixel driving line GL is configured to transmit control signals to pixel driving circuit 11. These control signals can be, for example, reset signals to control pixel driving circuit 11 to reset, control signals to control pixel driving circuit 11 to write data, or light emission control signals to control pixel driving circuit 11 to emit light. Figure 1 only shows one pixel driving line GL connected to pixel driving circuit 11, but does not limit the actual number of pixel driving lines GL connected to pixel driving circuit 11. In this application, data line DL is configured to transmit data signals to pixel driving circuit 11; shift register circuit 20 is configured to transmit control signals to pixel driving line GL, which in turn transmits the control signals to pixel driving circuit 11; gating circuit 30 is configured to transmit data signals to data line DL, which in turn transmits the data signals to pixel driving circuit 11.

[0071] In this application, the shift register circuit 20 includes multiple cascaded shift registers, each including multiple cascaded first shift registers 21 and a second shift register 22 cascaded with the first shift registers 21. The first shift registers 21 are located in the area where the pixel driving circuit array 10 is located, and the second shift registers 22 are located on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel. The gating circuit 30 is located between the pixel driving circuit array 10 and the second shift registers 22. The embodiment shown in FIG1 is illustrated using the pixel driving circuit array 10 as an example, which includes multiple pixel driving circuits 11 arranged in a matrix. In this case, the area where the pixel driving circuit array 10 is located can be regarded as a rectangular area formed by all the pixel driving circuits 11. In this application, the first shift register 21 is located in the rectangular area formed by the pixel driving circuit array 10, and the second shift register 22 is located outside the rectangular area. The rectangular area formed by the pixel driving circuit array 10 in FIG1 is only schematic and is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments of this application, the area where the pixel driving circuit array 10 is located can also be other shapes that are not rectangular. Figure 1 shows only one set of shift register circuits 20 in the display panel, but does not limit the actual number of shift register circuits 20 included in the display panel. For example, please refer to Figure 2, which is a planar structural diagram of a display panel provided in an embodiment of this application. The embodiment shown in Figure 2 shows two sets of shift register circuits 20 in the display panel. The first shift registers 21 in the shift register circuits 20 are all located in the area where the pixel driving circuit array 10 is located, and the second shift register 22 is located on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel. The two sets of shift register circuits 20 can transmit control signals to the same pixel driving line GL to improve the driving capability of the control signals, or they can transmit control signals to different pixel driving lines GL respectively. This application does not limit this.

[0072] In designing the display panel, the inventors implemented a method as shown in Figure 3, in which all shift registers in the shift register circuit 20' are located in the area of ​​the pixel driving circuit array 10', and the gating circuit 30' is located outside the pixel driving circuit array 10'. That is, the gating circuit 30' is located on the side of the shift register circuit 20' facing the edge B' of the display panel. Figure 3 shows a planar structure diagram of a display panel provided in the related art. However, the inventors discovered that in the design method of Figure 3, the data signal on the data line DL' is subject to interference from other signals. This is because when the end of the data line DL' is connected to the gating circuit 30', it needs to pass through the shift register closest to the gating circuit 30'. If the data line DL' and the signal line corresponding to the shift register are set on the same layer, it will cause signal interference. Further research by the inventors revealed that, in order to reduce signal interference from the shift register to the data line DL', the data line DL' located closest to the gating circuit 30' could be redesigned to avoid being placed on the same layer as the signal line corresponding to the shift register. However, since the data line DL' is relatively thin, redesigning it would increase the risk of breakage or short circuit, affecting the display effect.

[0073] Based on the above problems, this application adjusts the positional relationship between the shift register and the gating circuit 30 relative to the pixel driving circuit array 10. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a plurality of first shift registers 21 in the shift register circuit 20 are set in the area where the pixel driving circuit array 10 is located, and a second shift register 22 cascaded with the first shift register 21 is set in an area outside the pixel driving circuit array 10, that is, on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel. The edge B of the display panel mentioned in this embodiment refers to the lower edge of the display panel. At this point, both the second shift register 22 and the gating circuit 30 are located on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel. The second shift register 22 is located between the gating circuit 30 and the edge B of the display panel. This means the gating circuit 30 is closer to the pixel driving circuit array 10 than the second shift register 22, making it closer to the end of the data line DL. Therefore, when connecting the end of the data line DL to the gating circuit 30, the connection can be achieved without passing through the second shift register 22, thus avoiding signal interference from the second shift register 22 on the data line DL and improving the accuracy of the data signal transmitted on the data line DL. Furthermore, by placing the gating circuit 30 between the second shift register 22 and the pixel driving circuit array 10, there is no interference from other lines between the data line DL and the gating circuit 30. The data line DL can be connected to the gating circuit 30 without needing to be replaced, thus avoiding the risk of wire breakage or short circuit when replacing the data line DL and improving the display stability of the display panel.

[0074] Figure 4 shows a connection diagram of the shift register circuit 20 provided in an embodiment of this application. Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 4, in an optional embodiment of this application, the output terminal OUT of the first shift register 21 is electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit 11 through the pixel driving line GL. The display panel also includes a bonding pad P1. The output terminal OUT of the second shift register 22 is electrically connected to the bonding pad P1. That is, the first shift register 21 mentioned in the embodiment of this application is a shift register connected to the pixel driving line GL and used to provide control signals to the pixel driving circuit 11 through the pixel driving line GL. The second shift register 22 can be regarded as a virtual shift register. Its output terminal OUT is not connected to the pixel driving line GL, but is connected to the bonding pad P1 in the display panel. The second shift register 22 does not need to provide control signals to the pixel driving line GL in the display panel.

[0075] Optionally, referring to Figures 1, 2 and 4, the display panel also includes a test signal line CL, and the output of the second shift register 22 is also electrically connected to the test signal line CL.

[0076] The bonding pad P1 introduced in the display panel is used to bond with the control chip or flexible circuit board, realizing the electrical connection between the control chip or flexible circuit board and the bonding pad P1, and thus realizing the electrical connection with the circuit in the display panel. The display panel is formed by cutting a motherboard. Before cutting, a test pad VT-P is set on the motherboard. The test pad VT-P is configured to be electrically connected to the test signal line CL in the display panel for detecting corresponding signals. For example, the output terminal OUT of the second shift register 22 is electrically connected to the test signal line CL. The signal of the second shift register 22 can be tested before cutting. During the test, the test probe is inserted into the test pad VT-P, and the signal at the output terminal of the second shift register 22 can be detected, thereby determining whether there is an abnormality in the control signal output by the shift register circuit 20. The test pad VT-P does not need to be bonded to the control chip or flexible circuit board. Optionally, the test pad VT-P will be removed when cutting to form the display panel.

[0077] Figure 5 shows a layout diagram of the pixel driving circuit, the gating circuit, and the shift register circuit. Figure 6 shows a connection circuit diagram of the data line DL and the gating circuit 30. Figure 7 shows a connection layout diagram of the data line DL and the gating circuit 30. Referring to Figures 5, 6, and 7, in an optional embodiment of this application, the gating circuit 30 includes multiple switch element groups 31, each of which includes at least two switch elements T. The output terminal of the switch element T is electrically connected to the data line DL. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the data line DL includes a first part X1 and a second part X2 that are electrically connected to each other. The first part X1 is located at least in the area where the pixel driving circuit array 10 is located, and the second part X2 is located on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel. The first part X1 is electrically connected to the switch element T through the second part X2, and the first part X1 and the second part X2 are arranged on the same layer.

[0078] The embodiments shown in Figures 6 and 7 are illustrated using the example of a switching element group 31 in the gating circuit 30 comprising three switching elements T, but this is not a limitation. In the display panel, the output terminals of the switching elements T in the switching element group 31 are electrically connected to the data lines DL one-to-one, for transmitting data signals to the data lines DL. In this embodiment, the first part X1 of the data line DL can be considered as a line segment of the data line DL located in the area where the pixel driving circuit array 10 is located, and the second part X2 can be considered as a line segment used to electrically connect the first part X1 with the switching elements T in the gating circuit 30. When the switching element group 31 is not located directly below the first part X1 in the data line DL, the electrical connection between the first part X1 and the switching elements T in the gating circuit 31 can be achieved by introducing the second part X2 located directly above the switching element group 31. The extension direction of at least some line segments in the second part X2 is different from the extension direction of at least some line segments in the first part X1. In this embodiment, the first part X1 extends along the second direction D2, and at least some line segments in the second part X2 extend along the first direction D1, as an example. In this embodiment, when the first part X1 and the second part X2 of the data line DL are set on the same film layer, the data line DL can be electrically connected to the switch element group 31 without changing the data line DL. This helps to avoid the risk of wire breakage or short circuit caused by changing the wire. Moreover, setting the first part X1 and the second part X2 of the data line DL on the same layer also helps to avoid the drilling and other processes introduced when they are set on different layers, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the data line DL.

[0079] Please continue referring to Figures 5, 6, and 7. In one optional embodiment of this application, the gating circuit 30 includes at least two gating control lines K. This embodiment uses three gating control lines K (namely, the first gating control line K1, the second gating control line K2, and the third gating control line K3) as an example for illustration. The number of gating control lines K is the same as the number of switching elements included in a single switching element group 31. In the same switching element group 31, the gates of different switching elements are connected to different gating control lines K. The gating control lines K extend along the first direction D1, and the first part X1 extends along the second direction D2. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 intersect. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, along the second direction D2, the switching element group 31 is located between the gating control lines K and the pixel driving circuit array 10. The three gating control lines K in the gating circuit 30 send enable signals in a time-division manner, which turn on the switching element T connected to them. When the switching element T is turned on, the data signal can be transmitted to the corresponding data line DL through the turned-on switching element.

[0080] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7, in this embodiment, the gating control line K is positioned on the side of the switch element group 31 away from the pixel driving circuit array 10. In other words, the switch element group 31 is closer to the pixel driving circuit array 10 than the gating control line K. Thus, when the data line DL is electrically connected to the switch element T in the switch element group 31, it does not need to pass through the gating control line K. The gating control line K will not affect the connection between the data line DL and the switch element T. The data line DL can achieve electrical connection with the switch element T without changing the wire, avoiding the risk of wire breakage or short circuit caused by wire replacement.

[0081] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7, in the gating circuit 30, the gating control line K extends along the first direction D1, occupying almost the entire width of the display panel along the first direction D1. In the shift register circuit 20, a single shift register occupies a relatively small amount of space along the width of the display panel along the first direction D1. In related technologies, such as Figure 3, if the gating circuit 30' is positioned on the side of multiple shift registers facing the edge B' of the display panel, some space (e.g., the space on both sides of the second shift register 22' along the first direction D1 in Figure 3) cannot be effectively utilized in the area between the pixel driving circuit array 10' and the gating circuit 30', resulting in wasted space. In this application, when the gating circuit 30 is positioned between the second shift register 22 and the pixel driving circuit array 10, the space on both sides of the second shift register 22 along the first direction D1 on the side of the gating circuit 30 facing the edge B of the display panel can be effectively utilized. For example, some traces originally positioned below the second shift register 22 can be moved up, and wiring can be performed in the space on both sides of the second shift register 22 (this will be explained in subsequent embodiments). This reduces the space occupied by the second shift register 22 and the aforementioned traces along the second direction D2, allowing structures such as the electrostatic discharge protection circuit originally positioned below the second shift register 22 to move towards the pixel driving circuit array 10. This causes some transistors in the display panel (such as transistors in the electrostatic discharge protection circuit) to move away from the edge B of the display panel. Considering that the display panel is formed by cutting a motherboard, the edge B of the display panel can be regarded as the cutting edge. When the transistors in the display panel are positioned away from the edge B of the display panel, it is beneficial to reduce the influence of the laser during the laser cutting process on the transistors and reduce the risk of laser damage to the transistors.

[0082] Figure 8 shows a relative positional relationship diagram of the pixel driving circuit 11, the gating circuit 30, and the shift register circuit 20. Figure 9 shows a connection diagram of the pixel driving circuit and the data line. Figure 10 shows a schematic diagram illustrating the relative positional relationship between the stage transmission signal line X0 and the gating control line K. Referring to Figures 8 and 10, in an optional embodiment of this application, the second shift register 22 and the first shift register 21 are electrically connected through the stage transmission signal line X0. Along the direction perpendicular to the plane where the display panel is located, the stage transmission signal line X0 and the gating control line K overlap to form a first overlap area Q1. In the first overlap area Q1, the stage transmission signal line X0 and the gating control line K are set in different layers.

[0083] Referring to Figures 5, 8, 9, and 10, when the second shift register 22 is positioned on the side of the gating circuit 30 facing the edge B of the display panel, it is equivalent to introducing the gating circuit 30 between the first shift register 21 and the second shift register 22. Since the gating control line K extends entirely along the first direction D1, and the cascading signal line X0 connecting the first shift register 21 and the second shift register 22 extends entirely along the second direction D2, the cascading signal line X0 will overlap with the gating control line K to form a first overlap region Q1. In this embodiment, the cascading signal line X0 and the gating control line K in the first overlap region Q1 are placed in different film layers, which helps to reduce signal interference between the two. Optionally, in the first overlap region Q1, the gating control line K is located in the first metal layer M1 of the display panel, and the cascading signal line is located in the second metal layer M2 of the display panel. The setting method of the gating control line K and the film layer structure of the display panel will be described in subsequent embodiments.

[0084] In this embodiment, when the gating circuit 30 is placed between the first shift register 21 and the second shift register 22, the cascading signal line X0 led out from the first shift register 21 will pass through the gating control line K in the gating circuit 30 and be electrically connected to the second shift register 22. At this time, it is necessary to switch the connection between the gating control line K and the cascading signal line X0. The embodiment shown in Figure 10 illustrates the method of switching the connection between the gating control line K. Referring to Figure 10, optionally, the gating control line K includes a main body K01 and a bridge part K02 connected to the main body K01. The main body K01 and the bridge part K02 are disposed on different layers and both extend along the first direction D1. The bridge part K02 is at least partially located in the first overlap area Q1, and the cascading signal line X0 is disposed on the same layer as the main body K01. For the gating control line K, its main body K01 accounts for a larger proportion of the entire gating control line K, while the bridge part K02 is a cross-line structure arranged to facilitate other signal lines passing through the gating control line K. The bridge part K02 accounts for a smaller proportion of the entire gating control line K than the main body K01. Optionally, the main body K01 is located in the second metal layer M2, and the bridge part K02 is located in the first metal layer M1.

[0085] In this embodiment, a main body K01 and a bridge part K02 connected to the main body K01 are introduced into the gating control line K. The bridge part K02 and the main body K01 are located in different film layers and are electrically connected through the connection hole LK. When the stage transmission signal line X0 passes through the gating control line K, the stage transmission signal line X0 overlaps with the bridge part K02 in the first overlap area Q1. At this time, the stage transmission signal line X0 can be set in the same film layer as the main body K01 in the gating control line K. This can avoid interference with the gating control line K, make reasonable use of the film layer structure in the display panel, and also avoid the stage transmission signal line X0 from being replaced.

[0086] Optionally, the line width of the gating control line K is greater than the line width of the first part X1 in the data line DL. If the second shift register 22 is set between the gating circuit 30 and the pixel driving circuit array 10, in order to realize the electrical connection between the data line DL and the gating circuit 30, the data line DL needs to pass through the second shift register 22. Since there are many data lines DL and the setting space is small, their line width is small. If the data lines DL are reconnected to reduce signal interference, it will cause the risk of short circuit or wire breakage. If the gating circuit 30 is placed between the second shift register 22 and the pixel driving circuit array 10, the data line DL can be connected to the gating circuit 30 without crossing a wire. Considering that the first shift register 21 and the second shift register 22 need to be connected by the cascading signal line X0, the cascading signal line X0 will pass through the gating control line K. Therefore, in this embodiment, the line width of the gating control line K is set to be larger, making it larger than the line width of the data line DL. Thus, the method of connecting the main body K01 and the bridge part K02 of the gating control line K across a wire is beneficial to reducing the risk of changing the wire.

[0087] Figure 11 shows a schematic diagram of a film layer of a display panel provided in an embodiment of this application. In an optional embodiment of this application, the display panel includes a substrate 00 and a first metal layer M1 and a second metal layer M2 disposed on the substrate 00. The resistivity of the second metal layer M2 is less than that of the first metal layer M1. Referring to Figure 10, the main body K01 of the selection control line K and the transmission signal line X0 are located in the second metal layer M2, and the bridge portion K02 of the selection control line K is located in the first metal layer M1.

[0088] Display panels typically contain multiple transistors, such as transistors in the pixel driving circuit 11, transistors corresponding to the switching elements of the gating circuit 30, transistors in the shift register circuit 20, etc. In the film layer structure of the display panel, optionally, the gate of the transistor is disposed in the first metal layer M1, and the source and drain of the transistor are disposed in the second metal layer M2. Optionally, the material of the first metal layer M1 is mainly Mo, and the material of the second metal layer M2 is Ti-Al-Ti. Due to the inherent properties of the materials, the impedance of the first metal layer M1 is greater than that of the second metal layer M2; that is, the resistivity of the first metal layer M1 is greater than that of the second metal layer M2, and the conductivity of the second metal layer M2 is better than that of the first metal layer M1. In this application, by placing the main body K01 of the gating control line K in the second metal layer M2, it is beneficial to reduce the overall impedance of the gating control line K, reduce the voltage drop of the control signal transmitted on the gating control line K, and thus improve the accuracy of the signal transmitted by the gating control line K. Furthermore, in this embodiment of the application, when the stage transmission signal line X0 is also set in the second metal layer M2, it is also beneficial to reduce the impedance of the stage transmission signal line X0 and the voltage drop of the transmitted signal, thereby improving the accuracy of the stage transmission signal transmitted by the stage transmission signal.

[0089] Optionally, the data line DL provided in this embodiment is also located in the second metal layer M2 to reduce the impedance of the data line DL, which helps to reduce the voltage drop of the data signal transmitted on the data line DL and improve the accuracy of the data signal transmitted on the data line DL.

[0090] Optionally, the display panel provided in this application embodiment further includes a semiconductor layer poly disposed on the side of the first metal layer M1 facing the substrate 00 and an auxiliary metal layer M0 disposed on the side of the semiconductor layer poly facing the substrate. The display panel may include a transistor with a dual-gate structure. In this case, one gate of the transistor may be located on the first metal layer M1 and the other gate may be located on the auxiliary metal layer M0. Along the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 00 is located, both the first metal layer M1 and the auxiliary metal layer M0 overlap with the semiconductor layer poly. The auxiliary metal layer M0 also has a light-shielding function to prevent light from affecting the semiconductor layer poly. Optionally, a capacitor metal layer MC is further included between the first metal layer M1 and the second metal layer M2. The capacitor metal layer MC can form a capacitor structure with the second metal layer M2. Optionally, a third metal layer M3 and a fourth metal layer M4 are further included on the side of the second metal layer M2 away from the substrate. Signal lines can be laid out in both the third metal layer M3 and the fourth metal layer M4.

[0091] Please refer to Figures 5, 8, and 10. In one optional embodiment of this application, along the first direction D1, the bridge portion K02 is located between adjacent switch element groups 31; along the second direction D2, the second shift register 22 and the switch element group 31 overlap; along the first direction D1, the cascade signal line X0 connected to the second shift register 22 is located on the same side of the second shift register 22 and the switch element group 31 corresponding to the second shift register 22. In this embodiment, the cascade signal line X0 is located on the right side of the switch element group 31 and the corresponding second shift register 22 as an example. Specifically, when a bridge section K02 is introduced into the gating control line K, the bridge section K02 can be set in the area between adjacent switching element groups 31. The cascade signal line X0 is routed on the same side of the second shift register 22 and the switching element group 31 adjacent to the second shift register 22. The cascade signal line X0 led out from the first shift register 21 passes through the bridge section K02 of the gating control line K and is connected to the second shift register 22. In this way, interference between the cascade signal line X0 and the gating control line K can be avoided, and the routing structure of the cascade signal line X0 can be simplified.

[0092] Please refer to Figures 8 and 10, and in conjunction with Figure 5. In one optional embodiment of this application, the transmission signal line X0 includes a main portion X01 and a winding portion X02 electrically connected to the main portion. The main portion X01 is located in the area where the pixel driving circuit array 10 is located, along the second direction D2. The winding portion X02 is located on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel. The winding portion X02 is electrically connected to the second shift register 22. The main portion X01 extends along the second direction D2. The winding portion X02 includes a first winding X21, a connecting portion X23, and a second winding X22 that are electrically connected in sequence. The first winding X21 and the second winding X22 extend along the first direction D1. The connecting portion X23 extends along the second direction D2. The first winding X21 is connected to the main portion X01, and the second winding X22 is connected to the second shift register 22.

[0093] This embodiment shows a scheme in which the bridge portion K02 in the gating control line K and the main portion X01 of the cascade signal line X0 are staggered in the second direction D2. That is, the bridge portion K02 in the gating control line K is not located directly below the extension direction of the main portion X01 of the cascade signal line X0. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a winding portion X02 for the main portion X01 of the cascade signal line X0 so as to realize the electrical connection between the main portion X01 and the second shift register 22 through the winding portion X02. Taking the diagram as an example, when the bridge portion K02 of the selector control line K is located in the lower right region of the main portion X01 of the cascade signal line X0, the main portion X01 first connects to the first winding X21 extending along the first direction D1 in the winding portion X02. The first winding X21 extends to the right side of the main portion X01 and connects to the connecting portion X23 extending along the second direction D2. This is equivalent to the connecting portion X23 extending downwards from the first winding X21, passing through the bridge portion K02 of the selector control line K, and continuing downwards to connect with the second winding X22. The second winding X22 extends along the second direction D2 to the region where the second shift register 22 is located, thus achieving connection with the second shift register 22. In this way, by introducing the winding portion X02, the switching of the cascade signal line X0 is avoided, which helps to simplify the film layer setting of the display panel. At the same time, if the cascade signal line X0 is set as a whole in the second metal layer M2, it also helps to reduce the impedance of the cascade signal line X0 and improve the transmission efficiency of the cascade signal. When the bridge section K02 is located directly below the main section X01 of the transmission signal line X0, there is no need to introduce a winding section.

[0094] Please continue referring to Figures 8 and 10. In one optional embodiment of this application, the pixel driving circuit array 10 includes a plurality of pixel circuit column groups Z0 arranged along the first direction D1. Each pixel circuit column group includes at least two pixel circuit columns. This embodiment describes a single pixel circuit column group including three pixel circuit columns as an example, but this is not a limitation. Adjacent pixel circuit column groups Z0 are separated by a gap region Q0. Along the second direction D2, a bridge portion K02 overlaps with the gap region Q0. This is equivalent to placing the bridge portion K02 in the selection control line K directly below the gap region Q0 along the second direction D2. Considering that signal lines extending along the second direction D2 are provided between the pixel circuit arrays Z0, some of these signal lines (the type of these signal lines will be described in subsequent embodiments) need to extend to the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel and be electrically connected to the bonding pad P1. Therefore, when the bridge portion K02 of the selection control line K is set in the area directly below the interval Q0, the aforementioned signal lines can pass through the bridge portion K02 for further extension. These signal lines can be set in the second metal layer M2. When passing through the area where the bridge portion K02 is located, there is no need to change or rewind the lines. The original routing layout can be maintained. Therefore, it is beneficial to simplify the wiring difficulty of the display panel after the introduction of the bridge portion K02 and simplify the manufacturing process.

[0095] Please refer to Figures 4, 8, and 10. In one optional embodiment of this application, the display panel further includes a plurality of first signal lines 51 extending along the second direction D2. The first signal lines 51 are configured to provide signals to the shift register circuit 20. The first signal lines 51 are located on at least one side of the shift register circuit 20 along the first direction D1 and are located in the interval region Q0. Along the plane perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the display panel, the first signal lines 51 overlap with the bridge portion K02 but do not overlap with the main body portion K01. The first signal lines 51 and the main body portion K01 are disposed on the same layer.

[0096] The first signal line 51 mentioned in this embodiment is a trace that connects to the shift register circuit 20 and provides signals to the shift register circuit 20. Examples include a constant high-level signal line VGH that provides a high-level signal to the shift register circuit 20, a constant low-level signal line VGL that provides a low-level signal to the shift register circuit 20, and a first clock signal line XCK and a second clock signal line CK that provide clock signals to the shift register circuit 20. Optionally, the above four signal lines can be distributed in pairs on both sides of the corresponding shift register circuit 20 along the first direction D1. For example, the first clock signal line XCK and the second clock signal line CK are located on the left side of the shift register circuit 20, and the constant high-level signal line VGH and the constant low-level signal line VGL are located on the right side of the shift register circuit 20. This facilitates the connection between the shift register circuit 20 and these signal lines while making the routing of these signal lines more uniform. When the aforementioned first signal line 51 extends to the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel, it will overlap with the bridge portion K02 of the gating control line K and be disposed on a different layer than the bridge portion K02. For example, it can be disposed on the same layer as the main body portion K01 of the gating control line K. In this way, the first signal line 51 can be wired according to the original wiring method without the need for wire replacement. Therefore, even if the gating unit is placed between the second shift register 22 and the pixel driving circuit array 10, it will not affect the wiring structure of the first signal line 51. Optionally, both the first signal line 51 and the main body portion K01 of the gating control line K are located on the second metal layer M2 of the display panel. The resistivity of the second metal layer M2 is low, which is more conducive to reducing the voltage drop during signal transmission and improving signal transmission efficiency.

[0097] Please continue referring to Figures 8 and 10. In one optional embodiment of this application, the stage transmission signal line X0 is located in the interval Q0 and on the side of the first signal line 51 facing the shift register circuit 20. In addition to the first signal line 51 mentioned in the previous embodiments, the signal line connected to the shift register circuit 20 also includes the stage transmission signal line X0. The stage transmission signal line X0 is configured to connect to the shift registers of adjacent stages. For example, for the first shift register 21, in addition to being electrically connected to the pixel driving line GL, the output terminal of the first shift register 21 of this stage is also connected to the input terminal of the next stage shift register through the stage transmission signal line X0. The first signal line 51 is a signal line shared by multiple shift registers in the shift register circuit 20. For example, the high-level signals required by multiple shift registers in the shift register circuit 20 are all provided by the same constant high-level signal line VGH, while the stage transmission signal line X0 transmits the output signal of the current stage shift register to the next stage shift register. In this embodiment, when both the stage transmission signal line X0 and the first signal line 51 are located in the interval region Q0, the stage transmission signal line X0 is positioned on the side of the first signal line 51 facing the shift register circuit 20. That is, the stage transmission signal line X0 is closer to the shift register circuit 20 than the first signal line 51, which facilitates the connection of the stage transmission signal line X0 to the shift registers of the two adjacent stages. Optionally, the stage transmission signal line X0 is located in the second metal layer M2.

[0098] Please continue to refer to Figures 8 and 10. In one optional embodiment of this application, the data line DL includes a first type of data line DL1 and a second type of data line DL2 corresponding to the pixel circuit column group Z0. Both the first type of data line DL1 and the second type of data line DL2 are electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit 11. The first type of data line DL1 is also electrically connected to the gating circuit 30. Along the first direction D1, the first type of data line DL1 and the second type of data line DL2 are located on opposite sides of the corresponding pixel circuit column group Z0. The transmission signal line X0 and the second type of data line DL2 corresponding to the pixel driving circuit column group Z0, which is in the same column as the shift register circuit, are located in the same interval area Q0.

[0099] Optionally, referring to Figures 5, 9, and 10, the display panel provided in this embodiment is a Micro LED display panel, and the light-emitting element in the display panel is a Micro LED. The pixel driving circuit 11 is configured to connect to the light-emitting element and drive the light-emitting element to emit light. The pixel driving circuit 11 includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit and a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) circuit (the structures of the PWM and PAM circuits can refer to existing structures, and this application does not limit them). The PWM circuit is electrically connected to the PAM circuit, and the output terminal of the PAM circuit is electrically connected to the light-emitting element and is configured to provide a driving current to the light-emitting element; the PAM circuit is configured to control the amplitude of the driving current, and the PWM circuit is configured to control the pulse width of the driving current; wherein, the pulse width of the driving current is understood as the duration of the driving current, and the amplitude of the driving current is understood as the magnitude of the driving current value. In this embodiment, the first type of data line DL1 is a signal line that transmits data signals to the pulse width modulation circuit (PWM), and the second type of data line DL2 is a signal line that transmits data signals to the pulse amplitude modulation circuit (PAM). To achieve uniform arrangement of the signal lines, the first type of data line DL1 and the second type of data line DL2 are respectively disposed on both sides of the pixel driving circuit 11 along the first direction D1. Optionally, the second type of data line DL2 is a global signal line. For example, the second type of data line DL2 that provides data signals to light-emitting elements of the same color is electrically connected, thus eliminating the need for a gating circuit 30 for the second type of data line DL2. The first type of data line DL1 is connected to the gating circuit 30 on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel. During connection, the first part X1 of the first type of data line DL1 is wound through the second part X2 to the top of the gating circuit 30 and electrically connected to the gating circuit 30. The transmission signal line X0 is electrically connected to the second shift register 22 through the winding part X02. If the cascade signal line X0 and the first type data line DL1 are placed in the same interval, the second part X2 in the first type data line DL1 will interfere with the winding part X02 in the cascade signal line X0, requiring a wire replacement to achieve electrical connection with the second shift register 22. In this embodiment, when the cascade signal line X0 and the second type data line DL2 are placed in the same interval area Q0 on the side of the pixel driving circuit 11, the second part X2 in the first type data line DL1 and the winding part X02 in the cascade signal line X0 do not interfere with each other, thus making it easier to simplify the wiring of the first type data line DL1 and the cascade signal line X0.

[0100] Please continue to refer to Figures 8 and 10. In one optional embodiment of this application, taking the left pixel driving circuit column group Z0 in Figures 8 and 10 as an example, the shift register circuit is located in the same column as the pixel driving circuit column group Z0. When the stage transmission signal line X0 and the second type data line DL2 are set in the same interval area Q0, the second type data line DL2 is located between the stage transmission signal line X0 and the first signal line 51.

[0101] This embodiment defines the relative positional relationship of the transmission signal line X0, the first signal line 51, and the second type data line DL2 when they are simultaneously set in the same interval area Q0. The interval area Q0 mentioned in this embodiment is the interval area Q0 located on both sides of the same shift register circuit 20 and adjacent to the shift register circuit 20, and it is also the interval area Q0 located on both sides of the same pixel circuit column group Z0 and adjacent to the pixel circuit column group Z0. The aforementioned cascade signal line X0 and the first signal line 51 are both connected to the shift register circuit 20, and the second type of data line DL2 is electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit 11. In this embodiment, the cascade signal line X0 is closest to the shift register circuit 20, the second type of data line DL2 is located between the cascade signal line X0 and the first signal line 51, and the first signal line 51 is furthest from the shift register circuit 20. This makes it easier to route the cascade signal line X0 used to connect the first shift register 21 and the second shift register 22, avoiding wire wrapping. At the same time, when the winding portion X02 in the cascade signal line X0 and the first signal line 51 both extend to the bridge portion K02 of the gating control line K, the cascade signal line X0 and the first signal line 51 will not interfere with each other, thereby reducing the difficulty of wiring.

[0102] In one optional embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 8 and 10, in the same switching element group 31, the input terminals of different switching elements T are connected to the same input line 60. Along the direction perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the display panel, at least some of the input lines 60 corresponding to the switching element group 31 overlap with the bridge portion K02 of the gating control line K, and the input line 60 and the main body portion K01 of the gating control line K are arranged on the same layer.

[0103] To facilitate the connection between the data line DL and the switching elements in the switching element group 31 and avoid data line DL replacement, the switching elements in the gating circuit 30 provided in this application are located between the pixel driving circuit array 10 and the gating control line K. The input terminals of the switching elements in the same switching element group 31 are electrically connected to the same input line 60. The input line 60 is configured to be electrically connected to the bonding pad P1 in the display panel. The bonding pad P1 is usually located on the side of the gating circuit 30 away from the pixel driving circuit array 10. Therefore, when the input line 60 is electrically connected to the bonding pad P1, the input line 60 will pass through the gating control line K. In this embodiment, please refer to the input line 60 corresponding to the switching element group 31 on the left in Figures 8 and 10. The input line 60 is arranged on the same layer as the main body K01 of the gating control line K, and the input line 60 passes through the gating control line K from the position of the bridge part K02. At this time, the input line 60 does not need to be replaced, which helps to simplify the wiring process of the input line 60. In addition, the input line 60 can be placed on the second metal layer M2 of the display panel to reduce the impedance of the input line 60 and the signal transmission voltage drop, thereby increasing the signal transmission rate on the input line 60.

[0104] When the first shift register 21 is introduced into the region where the pixel circuit array is located, a first signal line 51 connected to the shift register circuit 20 and a transmission signal line X0 are set in the interval Q0 adjacent to the first shift register 21. To avoid interference of the gating control line K in the gating circuit 30 with these signal lines, a bridge section K02 is introduced into the gating control line K. The aforementioned signal lines pass through the gating control line K at the position of the bridge section K02. For the input line 60 connected to the switching element in the gating circuit 30, if the gating control line K in the region is provided with a bridge section K02, the input line 60 can pass through the gating control line K from the position of the bridge section K02. Considering that each pixel circuit group Z0 has a gating circuit 30 on the side facing the edge B of the display panel, and only a few pixel circuit groups Z0 have shift register circuits 20 at their corresponding positions, not every adjacent switching element group 31 will have a bridge section K02 for the gating control line K introduced between them. For example, in the embodiments shown in Figures 8 and 10, the position corresponding to the pixel driving circuit group Z0 on the right is not provided with a shift register circuit. In the switching element group 31 corresponding to this pixel driving circuit group Z0, in the area corresponding to the input line 60, the gating control line K... When no bridge section is provided, the input line 60 can also be changed when passing through the bridge section K02. Optionally, for example, please refer to the input line 60 corresponding to the switch element group 31 on the right side in Figure 10. In this case, the input ends of different switch elements in the same switch element group 31 are connected to the same input line 60. Along the direction perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the display panel, at least some of the input lines 60 corresponding to the switch element group 31 overlap with the main body K01 of the selection control line K to form a second overlap area Q2. In the second overlap area Q2, the input line 60 and the bridge section K02 of the selection control line K are set on the same layer.

[0105] This embodiment shows that when the input line 60 of the switching element group 31 passes through the gating control line K, and no bridge portion K02 is provided at the position corresponding to the gating control line K, the input line 60 can be arranged to overlap with the main body portion K01 of the gating control line K. In the second overlap area Q2 formed by the overlap of the two, the input line 60 and the main body portion K01 of the gating control line K are arranged in different layers, and the input line 60 can be arranged in the same layer as the bridge portion K02 in other areas of the gating control line K. This makes reasonable use of the existing film layer in the display panel to avoid interference between the input line 60 and the gating control line K.

[0106] Figures 12 and 13 show another relative positional relationship between the switching element group 31 and the selection control line K in the selection circuit 30 provided in the embodiments of this application. Referring to Figures 8, 12 and 13, in an optional embodiment of this application, the line width of the main body K01 in the second overlapping area Q2 is less than or equal to its line width in other areas; and / or, the main body K01 also includes a first opening 91, which is located at least in the second overlapping area Q2 along a direction perpendicular to the plane where the display panel is located.

[0107] When the input line 60 overlaps with the main body K01 of the gating control line K using a switching method, the embodiment shown in FIG12 illustrates a scheme in which the width of the line segment of the main body K01 located in the second overlap area Q2 is narrowed. This reduces the overlap area of ​​the input line 60 and the gating control line K in the second overlap area Q2, thereby reducing the coupling capacitance between the two and reducing or avoiding interference of the coupling capacitance on the signals on the input line 60 and the gating control line K. Alternatively, the embodiment shown in FIG13 can be used, in which a first opening 91 is formed on the line segment of the main body K01 located in the second overlap area Q2, and the first opening 91 overlaps with the input line 60. This also reduces the actual overlap area of ​​the input line 60 and the gating control line K, thus also helping to reduce the coupling capacitance between them. To further reduce the coupling capacitance between the input line 60 and the gating control line K, in the second overlapping area Q2, while narrowing the line width of the main body K01, a first opening 91 can also be formed on the main body K01 with a narrower line width, such as the scheme shown in Figure 13.

[0108] Please continue to refer to Figures 12 and 13. In one optional embodiment of this application, the gate of the switching element is electrically connected to the gating control line K via a gate connection line 70, which extends along the second direction D2. Along a direction perpendicular to the plane where the light-emitting surface of the display panel is located, at least one gate connection line 70 overlaps with the main body portion K01 to form a third overlap region Q3. The linewidth of the main body portion K01 in the third overlap region Q3 is less than or equal to its linewidth in other regions. And / or, the main body portion K01 also includes a second opening 92, which is located at least in the third overlap region Q3 along a direction perpendicular to the plane where the display panel is located.

[0109] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 12, and 13, to facilitate the connection between the switching elements in the selection circuit 30 and the data line DL, and to avoid the risk of short circuits or breaks caused by changing the data line DL, in this embodiment, the switching element group 31 in the selection circuit 30 is located on the side of the selection control line K facing the pixel driving circuit array 10. Considering that the gate of the switching element in the switching element group 31 is connected to the selection control line K, taking Figure 12 as an example, the three switching elements in the same switching element group 31 are electrically connected to the three selection control lines K one-to-one. The control lines K are arranged along the second direction D2. When connecting the switching element and the selection control line K that is not adjacent to the switching element, the gate connection line 70 will pass through one or two other selection control lines K and overlap with other selection control lines K to form a third overlap region Q3. The gate connection line 70 can be set in the same layer as the gate of the switching element, so that the gate connection line 70 and the main body K01 of the selection control line K are located in different film layers. In this way, the gate connection line 70 can achieve electrical connection with the corresponding selection control line K without changing the line, which helps to simplify the wiring complexity of the gate connection line 70.

[0110] Considering that when the gate connection line 70 overlaps with the gating control line K, a coupling capacitance may be generated between them, causing signal interference, in the third overlap region Q3, the linewidth of the main body K01 of the gating control line K can be reduced, for example, referring to Figures 12 and 13, to reduce the actual overlap area between the gate connection line 70 and the gating control line K, thereby reducing the coupling capacitance between them. Alternatively, referring to Figure 13, a second opening 92 can be formed on the main body K01 of the third overlap region Q3, so that the second opening 92 overlaps with the gate connection line 70, which can also reduce the actual overlap area between the gate connection line 70 and the gating control line K, reducing the coupling capacitance between them. Furthermore, in the third overlap region Q3, while reducing the linewidth of the main body K01, a second opening 92 can be formed on the main body K01, which is more conducive to reducing the actual overlap area between the gate connection line 70 and the gating control line K, reducing or avoiding signal interference between them.

[0111] Optionally, the gate connection line 17 can be electrically connected to the gating control line K by wiring on the left side of the corresponding transistor along the first direction, or by wiring on the right side of the corresponding transistor along the first direction. This application does not limit this.

[0112] Figure 14 shows a schematic diagram of one layout of the gating control line K and the first signal line 51 that overlaps with it. Optionally, when the gating control line K extending along the first direction D1 overlaps with the first signal line 51 extending along the second direction D2, the first signal line 51 can be arranged on the same layer as the main body K01 of the gating control line K and overlap with the bridge portion K02 of the gating control line K. To reduce signal interference between the two, the line width of the first signal line 51 can be reduced in the overlapping area, so that the line width of the first signal line 51 in the overlapping area is smaller than the line width in other areas. Figure 14 is only used as an example of the signal line overlapping with the gating control line K being the first signal line 51. In some other embodiments of this application, when the signal line overlapping with the gating control line K is another signal line, the design shown in Figure 14 can also be adopted to reduce the line width of the signal line extending along the second direction D2 in the overlapping area.

[0113] When the main body K01 and the bridge K02 are introduced into the gating control line, the main body K01 and the bridge K02 located in different membrane layers can be electrically connected through one or more connecting holes LK. When there are multiple connecting holes LK, for example, please refer to Figure 14, the multiple connecting holes LK are equivalent to being connected in parallel, which helps to reduce the overall impedance of the gating control line K.

[0114] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2, and in conjunction with Figure 8. In one optional embodiment of this application, the pixel driving circuit array 10 includes a plurality of pixel circuit columns Z0 arranged along a first direction D1. Each pixel circuit column Z0 includes at least two pixel circuit columns, and there is a gap Q0 between adjacent pixel circuit columns Z0. Along the second direction D2, the shift register circuit 20 and the gating circuit 30 both overlap with the pixel circuit column Z0. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 intersect, and the second direction D2 is the direction in which the pixel driving circuit array 10 points to the second shift register 22.

[0115] In this embodiment, the first shift register 21 in the shift register circuit 20 is located in the area where the pixel driving circuit array 10 is located. Typically, the display area includes the area where the aforementioned pixel driving circuit array 10 is located. Therefore, it is equivalent to placing at least most of the shift registers in the shift register circuit 20 in the display area, without occupying the space of the bezel area of ​​the display panel, which is beneficial for realizing a narrow bezel or bezel-less design of the display panel. When the shift register circuit 20 and the gating circuit 30 are introduced into the display panel, this application sets the shift register circuit 20 and the gating circuit 30 to overlap with the pixel circuit column group Z0 along the second direction D2. This means that the shift registers in the shift register circuit 20 and the switching element group 31 in the gating circuit 30 overlap with the pixel circuit column group Z0. This can reduce the space occupied by the shift registers or the switching element group 31 in the interval area Q0 between the pixel circuit column groups Z0, and avoid the shift registers or the switching element group 31 affecting the original wiring structure in the interval area Q0.

[0116] Referring to Figure 8, in one optional embodiment of this application, along the second direction D2, neither the first shift register 21 nor the second shift register 22 overlaps with the spacing region Q0. Thus, the first shift register 21 does not occupy the space of the spacing region Q0 between the columns of the pixel driving circuit 11, and the second shift register 22 does not occupy the space in the extending direction of the spacing region Q0, thereby not affecting the original wiring structure of the spacing region Q0.

[0117] Figure 15 shows another planar structural diagram of the display panel provided in an embodiment of this application. Referring to Figure 15, in an optional embodiment of this application, the display panel includes an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit 70. The ESD protection circuit 70 is located on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel, and at least part of the ESD protection circuit 70 is electrically connected to the second shift register 22. Figure 15 only shows the ESD protection circuit 70 connected to the second shift register 22. In fact, other ESD protection circuits 70 can also be provided on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel, for example, referring to Figure 5, and electrically connected to other signal lines that require ESD protection. This application does not limit this.

[0118] This embodiment illustrates a scheme in which an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit 70 is introduced on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel. This ESD protection circuit 70 is disposed on the side of the display panel near its edge and configured to connect to some signal lines in the display panel near its edge to prevent ESD from affecting the display panel. For example, part of the ESD protection circuit 70 can be electrically connected to the output of the second shift register 22, thereby preventing ESD from affecting the shift register circuit 20. The ESD protection circuit 70 can adopt a structure found in related technologies, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0119] Figure 16 shows a layout diagram of the pixel driving circuit array 10 in the display panel provided in the embodiment of this application, facing the edge B of the display panel. Figure 16 only shows a portion of the film layers in the display panel and does not show all the film layers. Referring to Figure 16, in an optional embodiment of this application, the display panel further includes a second signal line 52 disposed between the electrostatic protection circuit 70 and the pixel driving circuit array 10. On the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel, the second signal line 52 extends in a first direction D1 and has zigzag lines in some areas. For example, the second signal line 52 includes a first line segment 521, a connecting line segment 520 and a second line segment 522 that are electrically connected in sequence and disposed in the same layer. The first line segment 521 and the second line segment 522 both extend along the first direction D1, and the connecting line segment 520 extends along the second direction D2. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 intersect. Along the first direction D1, at least a portion of the first line segment 521 and the connecting line segment 520 overlap with the second shift register 22, while the second line segment 522 does not overlap with the second shift register 22.

[0120] Optionally, the second signal line 52 includes a power signal line that provides a power signal to the electrostatic discharge protection circuit, and may also include a detection signal line configured to connect the second shift register circuit and the test pad. The aforementioned power signal line can also be configured to provide a power signal to the pixel driving circuit; that is, the power signal of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit can be multiplexed with the power signal of the pixel driving circuit. Figure 16 only illustrates the wiring structure of the second signal line 52 and does not limit the actual number of the second signal lines 52. In this embodiment, when the second signal line 52 is laid out on the side of the pixel driving circuit array facing the edge B of the display panel, compared to setting the second signal line 52 as a straight line, the space on both sides of the second shift register 22 along the first direction D1 is utilized more effectively. For example, please compare Figures 16 and 17. Figure 17 shows a reference layout of the pixel driving circuit array facing the edge B of the display panel. The gating circuit 30 is located on the side of the shift register circuit 20 facing the edge of the display panel. The gating control line and the second signal line 52 are both located on the side of the switching element group 31 facing the edge B of the display panel. Both the gating control line and the second signal line 52 are straight lines extending along the first direction D1. The space occupied by both is relatively large. When the minimum distance d0 between the second signal line 52 and the edge B of the display panel is fixed, in the wiring method of Figure 17, the electrostatic protection circuit 70 is set on the side of the second signal line 52 facing the edge B of the display panel, which makes the distance d2 between the electrostatic protection circuit 70 and the edge B of the display panel smaller. This increases the risk of the transistors in the electrostatic protection circuit 70 being damaged by the cutting laser when the display panel is cut. In this embodiment, the arrangement of the gating circuit 30 and the second shift register 22 is adjusted. The second shift register 22 is set on the side of the gating control line K in the gating circuit 30 facing the edge B of the display panel. On the side of the gating control line K facing the edge B of the display panel, the second shift register 22 is arranged along the first direction D1, and there is a gap between adjacent second shift registers 22. This gap can be used to arrange part of the line segment in the second signal line 52. For example, moving the first line segment 521 and the connecting line segment 520 into this space is equivalent to moving part of the line segment of the second signal line 52 upward. When the line segment of the first signal line 52 is moved upward, the electrostatic protection circuit 70 located on the side of the second signal line 52 facing the edge B of the display panel also has space to move upward. Thus, when the minimum distance between the second signal line 52 and the edge B of the display panel is fixed at d0, the distance d1 between at least part of the electrostatic protection circuit 70 and the edge B of the display panel can be increased, making d1 > d2, which helps to reduce the risk of the transistor in this part of the electrostatic protection circuit 70 being damaged by the cutting laser.

[0121] The distance between different electrostatic protection circuits 70 and the edge B of the display panel can be set to be different. The distance between different electrostatic protection circuits 70 and the edge B of the display panel can be adjusted according to the actual wiring situation. This application does not limit this.

[0122] Please continue to refer to Figure 15. In one optional embodiment of this application, the pixel driving circuit array 10 includes a plurality of pixel circuit columns Z0 arranged along the first direction D1. Each pixel circuit column Z0 includes at least two pixel circuit columns, and there is a gap Q0 between adjacent pixel circuit columns Z0. Along the second direction D2, at least a portion of the electrostatic protection circuit 70 overlaps with the pixel circuit column Z0, but does not overlap with the gap Q0. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 intersect, and the second direction D2 is the direction in which the pixel driving circuit array 10 points to the second shift register 22.

[0123] Considering that some signal lines in the interval area between the pixel circuit arrays Z0 need to extend to the edge B area of ​​the display panel and be electrically connected to the bonding pad P1, these signal lines essentially penetrate most of the length of the display panel along the second direction D2. When an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit 70 is introduced on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel, this embodiment sets at least a portion of the ESD protection circuit 70 along the second direction D2 to not overlap with the interval area Q0. Instead, the ESD protection circuit 70 is positioned directly below the pixel driving circuit array 11. In this way, this portion of the ESD protection circuit 70 will not occupy the space in the extension direction of the interval area Q0, thereby avoiding interference from the ESD protection circuit 70 with the signal lines in the interval area that originally needed to extend to the edge B area of ​​the display panel and be electrically connected to the bonding pad P1. This also avoids the need for these signal lines to be routed around the ESD protection circuit 70, thus simplifying the wiring process of the signal lines in the interval area Q0.

[0124] Figure 18 shows a schematic diagram of one layout of the light-emitting element (LD) in an embodiment of this application, and Figure 19 shows a schematic diagram of a partial layout of the display panel. Referring to Figures 18 and 19, in an optional embodiment of this application, the display panel further includes light-emitting elements (LD) electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit 11. Optionally, the light-emitting elements (LD) are uniformly arranged in the display panel, and at least some of the light-emitting elements (LD) are located on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel. Figure 18 only illustrates one arrangement of the light-emitting elements (LD) in the display panel and does not limit the actual number of light-emitting elements (LD) included in the display panel, the relative positional relationship between the light-emitting elements (LD) and the pixel driving circuit, or the correspondence between their numbers. The light-emitting elements may include various different colors, such as red light-emitting elements, green light-emitting elements, and blue light-emitting elements, etc., which are not limited in this application.

[0125] In a display panel, the area where light-emitting elements (LDs) are located can be considered the display area. When the LDs are positioned on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel, this means that the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel also belongs to the display area. This arrangement helps to increase the proportion of the display area in the display panel, improve the screen-to-body ratio, and achieve an extremely narrow bezel or even a bezel-less design. Since the pixel driving circuit 11 connected to the LDs is located in the area of ​​the pixel driving circuit array 10, the LDs located on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel can be electrically connected to the corresponding pixel driving circuit 11 via signal lines led out from the pixel driving circuit array 10.

[0126] Referring to Figures 18 and 19, in one optional embodiment of this application, at least a portion of the light-emitting elements (LDs) overlap with the gating circuit 30 along a direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel. This is equivalent to placing the light-emitting elements (LDs) on the side of the gating circuit 30 facing the light-emitting surface of the display panel. The area where this portion of the light-emitting elements (LDs) is located is reused with the area where the gating circuit 30 is located, which facilitates the rational use of the display panel space for arranging the light-emitting elements (LDs) and improves the space utilization rate of the display panel. Furthermore, since the area where this portion of the light-emitting elements (LDs) is located is reused with the area where the gating circuit 30 is located, it is equivalent to placing the gating circuit 30 in the display area of ​​the display panel, avoiding the gating circuit 30 occupying space in the non-display area. Therefore, it is beneficial to achieve an extremely narrow bezel or bezel-less design for the display panel.

[0127] Referring to Figures 18 and 19, in one optional embodiment of this application, the display panel further includes an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit 70 disposed on the side of the pixel driving circuit array 10 facing the edge B of the display panel. At least some of the light-emitting elements (LDs) are located on the side of the ESD protection circuit 70 facing the edge B of the display panel. This embodiment shows a scheme in which the light-emitting elements (LDs) are disposed on the side of the ESD protection circuit 70 away from the pixel driving circuit array 10. This is equivalent to also disposing of the light-emitting elements (LDs) in the area near the lower edge of the display panel. In this way, the ESD protection circuit 70 is also integrated into the display area, without occupying space in the non-display area, which is also beneficial for achieving an extremely narrow bezel or bezel-less design of the display panel.

[0128] Referring to Figures 11 and 18, in one optional embodiment of this application, the display panel further includes a first electrode P01 and a second electrode P02 electrically connected to the light-emitting element LD. Along a direction perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the display panel, the first electrode P01 and the second electrode P02 are located on the side of the pixel driving circuit 11 facing the light-emitting surface of the display panel. The first electrode P01 is configured to be electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit 11, and the second electrode P02 is electrically connected to a constant level signal line. When the pixel driving circuit 11 provides a driving current to the first electrode P01, it can drive the corresponding light-emitting element LD to emit light. Optionally, the first electrode P01 and the second electrode P02 can be located in the same film layer of the display panel, or they can be disposed in different layers of the display panel depending on the actual situation; this application does not limit this. When the light-emitting element LD is not located directly above the corresponding pixel driving circuit 11, the pixel driving circuit 11 and the first electrode P01 can be electrically connected through signal lines.

[0129] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a display device. Figure 20 shows a schematic diagram of a display device provided in an embodiment of this application. Referring to Figure 20, the display device 200 includes a display panel 100 as described in any of the above embodiments and a power supply. The power supply is electrically connected to the display panel 100 and is configured to provide power to the display panel 100 to drive it to operate. The display device 200 provided in this application embodiment can be any electronic device with display function, such as a tablet computer with touch and display functions, a display cabinet display product, a television, or an in-vehicle display device, and is particularly suitable for display devices with extremely narrow bezels or no bezels.

[0130] It is understood that Figure 20 only illustrates the display device with a rectangular structure. In some other embodiments of this application, the display device 200 may also be circular, elliptical or any other feasible shape, and this application does not limit it in this regard.
