Description

FIELD OF DISCLOSURE

The present application relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a display panel and a display device.

BACKGROUND

Liquid crystal displays have been widely used in people's lives, such as display screens of mobile phones, computers, televisions, etc. With a development of a display technology and people's requirements for an improvement of the display technology, narrow-bezel liquid crystal displays and full-screen liquid crystal displays have been applied to terminals such as mobile phones and notebooks. The narrow bezel liquid crystal displays and the full-screen liquid crystal displays usually use a chip on film (COF) structure, that is, a display chip is bound to a COF, and then the COF is bound to a bonding pad area of an array substrate. In this way, a liquid crystal display with the COF structure can achieve an extremely narrow lower bezel.

At present, in an in-cell touch liquid crystal display, a high-resistance film needs to be used in a manufacturing process of a surface of a color filter glass. This is because the high-resistance film can prevent static electricity. Specifically, the high resistance film is connected to an array substrate through a conductive material such as silver glue to avoid static electricity. However, if a height (i.e., a thickness) of the silver glue is too large, it will not be conducive to reducing a width of a lower bezel, and if the height of the silver glue is too small, it will cause poor contact between the silver glue and the high resistance film.

Therefore, how to effectively solve the problem of realizing a narrow bezel panel without affecting its antistatic ability is an important issue in the display technology.
