Abstract

The present invention relates to a display panel and a display module, the display panel comprises a display region and a non-display region, and boundaries between the display region and the non-display region comprise at least one arc structure. The technical effects of the present invention are that it is beneficial to design a display module with an arc and narrow frame, which greatly reduces the range of the frame, increases the area that can be displayed, it is more consistent with the natural display contour of the human eye's physiology, with more comfortable, natural and fantastic display effect.

3 . The display panel according to claim 2 , wherein the display panel comprises an array substrate and a color film substrate, and the shapes of regions in the array substrate and the color filter substrate corresponding to the display region are the same as or corresponding to the shape of the display region.

4 . The display panel according to claim 3 , wherein the array substrate comprises a central region corresponding to the display region and a peripheral wiring region corresponding to the non-display region, the central region comprises gate lines and data lines which are made in crossed arrangement to define pixel regions, and pixels in the pixel regions that are near the arc structure are arranged in accordance with the arc structure.

5 . The display panel according to claim 4 , wherein the gate lines and the data lines define the pixel regions as several lines, and two ends of the several lines of the pixel regions that are respectively near the corresponding are structure of the first boundaries are in an arc shape.

6 . The display panel according to claim 5 , wherein in a direction parallel to the second boundaries, the length of the several lines of the pixel regions are gradually increased from the second boundaries to the top of the are structure of the first boundaries, and in a direction vertical to the second boundaries, the length of the pixel regions are gradually decreased from the top of the arc structure of the first boundaries to two ends of the first boundaries, to form an arc structure corresponding to the arc structure of the first boundaries.

7 . The display panel according to claim 4 , wherein the peripheral wiring region comprises a gate drive chip connected to the gate lines and a source drive chip connected to the data lines, and the wiring structures of the gate lines and the data lines in the peripheral wiring region are arc structures.

8 . The display panel according to claim 5 , wherein the peripheral wiring region comprises a gate drive chip connected to the gate lines and a source drive chip connected to the data lines, and the wiring structures of the gate lines and the data lines in the peripheral wiring region are arc structures.

9 . The display panel according to claim 6 , wherein the peripheral wiring region comprises a gate drive chip connected to the gate lines and a source drive chip connected to the data lines, and the wiring structures of the gate lines and the data lines in the peripheral wiring region are arc structures.

10 . The display panel according to claim 7 , wherein the gate drive chip is provided corresponding to the first boundaries, the gate drive chip provided corresponding to the arc structure comprises arc edges disposed oppositely and linear edges disposed oppositely, and the linear edges are provided parallel to the second boundaries.

11 . The display panel according to claim 10 , wherein the arc edges match the first boundaries of the display region.
