Abstract

A display panel including plural wiring sets is provided. Each of the wiring sets includes plural wires extending substantially along a straight direction. Each of the wiring sets has a first part and a second part respectively located at two opposite sides of a sealant. The first part is located between the sealant and an active region of the display panel, and a shortest distance of two adjacent wire segments of the first part is larger than a shortest distance of two adjacent wire segments of the second part. In addition, the shortest distance of two adjacent wire segments of the first part may be limited from about 15 μm to about 35 μm. The configuration of wiring set can reduce crosstalk of electric field between two adjacent wires to prevent light leakage and improve display quality.
