Abstract

A display panel is provided. A touch layer includes touch electrodes arranged along a first direction and a second direction. A demultiplexing circuit group includes a demultiplexing circuit corresponding to each touch electrode. The multiple demultiplexing circuits in the demultiplexing circuit group are arranged along the first direction and the second direction according to the multiple touch electrodes. Thereby, a length of the demultiplexing circuit in the second direction can be reduced, which helps increase a length of an L-cut formed in a driving bonding area.
