Abstract

Disclosed is a display panel, comprising a signal line, a test line for testing a signal line of the signal line, and a dummy line. The dummy line extends in a direction substantially consistent with that of the test line for preventing occurrence of electrostatic discharge on the test line. The test line and the dummy line have an overlapping region with the signal line, respectively, and the ratio of the area of the overlapping region between the dummy line and the signal line to the area of the dummy line is smaller than the ratio of the area of the overlapping region between the test line and the signal line to the area of the test line. A display device comprising the display panel is further disclosed.

Claims (24)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a first signal line;

a second signal line:

a test line connected to the first signal line and arranged to test a signal of the first signal line; and

a dummy line extending in a direction consistent with that of the test line and arranged to prevent occurrence of electrostatic discharge on the test line;

wherein the test line and the dummy line have an overlapping region with the second signal line, respectively, a ratio of an area of the overlapping region between the dummy line and the second signal line to an area of the dummy line is smaller than a ratio of an area of the overlapping region between the test line and the second signal line to an area of the test line, and the dummy line is not in electrical connection with the test line, the first signal line, and the second signal line, and

wherein the first signal line is a gate line and the second signal line is a data line.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the area of the overlapping region between the dummy line and the second signal line to the area of the dummy line is at least 15% smaller than the ratio of the area of the overlapping region between the test line and the second signal line to the area of the test line.

3. The display panel according to claim 2 , wherein the ratio of the area of the overlapping region between the dummy line and the second signal line to the area of the dummy line is 20% smaller than the ratio of the area of the overlapping region between the test line and the second signal line to the area of the test line.

4. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the area of the dummy line is larger than or equal to the area of the test line, and an overlapping area between the dummy line and the second signal line is smaller than an overlapping area between the test line and the second signal line.

5. The display panel according to claim 4 , wherein the overlapping area between the dummy line and the second signal line is at least 15% smaller than the overlapping area between the test line and the second signal line.

6. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the dummy line in the overlapping region thereof with the second signal line is smaller than a width of the test line in the overlapping region thereof with the second signal line, and a width of the dummy line in regions other than the overlapping region is larger than or equal to that of the test line.

7. The display panel according to claim 6 , wherein the dummy line is equal in length to the test line.

8. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the area of the overlapping region between the dummy line and the second signal line is smaller than or equal to the area of the overlapping region between the test line and the second signal line, and the area of the dummy line is larger than the area of the test line.

9. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the dummy line is equal to that of the test line, and a length of the dummy line is larger than that of the test line.

10. The display panel according to claim 9 , wherein the length of the dummy line is at least 15% larger than that of the test line.

11. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the dummy line is parallel to and similar in shape to the test line.

12. A display device, comprising the display panel according to claim 1 .

13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the ratio of the area of the overlapping region between the dummy line and the second signal line to the area of the dummy line is at least 15% smaller than the ratio of the area of the overlapping region between the test line and the second signal line to the area of the test line.

14. The display device according to claim 13 , wherein the ratio of the area of the overlapping region between the dummy line and the second signal line to the area of the dummy line is 20% smaller than the ratio of the area of the overlapping region between the test line and the second signal line to the area of the test line.

15. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the area of the dummy line is larger than or equal to the area of the test line, and an overlapping area between the dummy line and the second signal line is smaller than an overlapping area between the test line and the second signal line.

16. The display device according to claim 15 , wherein the overlapping area between the dummy line and the second signal line is at least 15% smaller than the overlapping area between the test line and the second signal line.

17. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein a width of the dummy line in the overlapping region thereof with the second signal line is smaller than a width of the test line in the overlapping region thereof with the second signal line, and a width of the dummy line in regions other than the overlapping region is larger than or equal to that of the test line.

18. The display device according to claim 17 , wherein the dummy line is equal in length to the test line.
