Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a touch display panel and a display apparatus. The touch display panel includes a touch region and a switching region, where the touch region provided with a light-emitting structure is adjacent to the switching region. The touch display panel includes: a substrate, a trace where at least part of the trace is located in the switching region on the substrate, a touch signal line, located at a side of the trace away from the substrate, and a touch connection line, electrically connected with the touch signal line and disposed in a different layer from the trace and the touch signal line. In a direction perpendicular to the substrate, the touch connection line is overlapped with at least partial edge of the trace. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, large-area short-circuiting on the display panel can be avoided.
