Description

Display panel and display device The application relates to a patent division application of a display panel and a display device, wherein the application date is 2024, 8, 16 and the application number is 202411127690.7. Technical Field The present application relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a display panel and a display device. Background The display panel is a main component of the display device to realize an image display function. In the display panel, a light emitting element for image display is connected to a pixel circuit, and the pixel circuit is connected to a driving circuit. The pixel circuit may control the light emitting element to perform image display in response to control of the driving circuit. In a conventional display panel, a driving circuit is generally disposed in a frame region of the display panel. Therefore, in the conventional display panel, a frame area is required to be disposed at one side of the display panel for disposing the driving circuit, resulting in the display panel having a frame area with a large width. Disclosure of Invention In view of the foregoing, the present application provides a display panel and a display device, so as to achieve the purpose of narrow frame or even no frame. The specific scheme is as follows: the first aspect of the present application provides a display panel, comprising: A light emitting element; The driving circuit provides control signals for the pixel circuit, and the pixel circuit is electrically connected with the light-emitting element; The display panel comprises a first area and a second area, wherein the pixel circuit comprises a first pixel circuit positioned in the first area and a second pixel circuit positioned in the second area, and the length of the first pixel circuit in a first direction is smaller than that of the second pixel circuit in the first direction; the driving circuit comprises a first driving circuit comprising a plurality of first shift registers cascaded along a second direction, the first direction intersecting the second direction, In the second direction, the first shift register at least partially overlaps the light emitting element. A second aspect of the present application provides a display device including the above display panel. With the technical scheme, in the display panel and the display device provided by the application, since the size of the first pixel circuit in the first direction is smaller than that of the second pixel circuit in the first direction, the layout space occupied by the first pixel circuit in the first direction can be reduced, so that the space for laying out the driving circuit can be saved in the display area of the display panel, and the first shift register of the first driving circuit in the driving circuit can be at least partially overlapped with the light emitting element in the second direction, so that part or all of the driving circuit can be laid out in the display area.
