Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a display panel and a display device. The first fan-out wire in a first area is designed as a first portion of the first metallic layer and a second portion of a second metallic layer. The first portion of the first metallic layer is coupled to the second portion of the second metallic layer. The width of the first fan-out wire in the first area is less than the width of the fan-out wires in other areas. The distance between the first fan-out wires in the first area is less than the distance between the first fan-out wires in the other areas. While the impedance of the first fan-out wire is not increased or even reduced, the space occupied by the first fan-out wire is reduced.
