Abstract

A display panel and a burn-in test method of the display panel are disclosed. The display panel includes a data writing module, a driving module, a sensing module, a control module, and a light-emitting module. Different devices are set in each module. When the display panel is subjected to a burn-in test, a high level signal is provided to the control module, thereby controlling a test current to flow to the light-emitting module. Thereby, an influence of high current on a test performance is improved, and a comprehensive performance of the display panel is improved.
