This disclosure relates to a field of display technology, and more particularly, to a display panel and a display device.
With the rapid development of science and technology in today's society, electronic devices, such as mobile phones, computers and televisions are widely used in all aspects of life. Therefore, electronic display devices, such as liquid crystal display (LCD) and organic light emitting semiconductor (OLED) are widely used.
In a conventional thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) device, when the TFT-LCD device is displaying images, it is necessary to use a gate driving circuit to scan a pixel unit. However, for the conventional TFT-LCD device, scanning signals will be attenuated with the transmission from a proximal end to a distal end. This causes a charging time in a middle area of the display device to be much shorter than that of a left end area and a right end area. That is, the brightness between the left end area, the right end area and the middle area of the display device is uneven.
A conventional method to improve the uneven charging problem is to change the phase of data signals and the scanning signals, and set the charging time of the pixel unit in each area of the TFT-LCD device corresponding to an optimal charging time, thereby improving the display effect. However, the above method does not fundamentally solve this problem, and it has its own limitations. The output data signal needs to be adjusted. Therefore, there are still problems, such as complicated adjustment processes and low efficiency.

The first electrical signal CTL is the second high level signal segment, and the second electrical signal FLK changes from the third high level signal segment to the second low level signal segment, and the fourth control switch element M4 and the fifth control switch element M5 are both turned on. The fourth control switch element M4 and the fifth control switch element M5 receive and are based on the voltage of the third built-in power source V2 to switch the conduction state of the second adjustment switch element T2. The scanning signal adjustment output module 23 outputs the third scanning signal to the display unit 10 through the second adjustment switch element T2.

The first electrical signal CTL is the third low level signal segment and the second electrical signal FLK is the second low level signal segment. The sixth control switch element M6 and the seventh control switch element M7 are turned on. The sixth control switch element M6 and the seventh control switch element M7 receive and are based on the voltage of the fourth built-in power source V3 to switch the conduction state of the third adjustment switch element T3. The scanning signal adjustment output module 23 outputs the fourth scanning signal to the display unit 10 through the third adjustment switch element T3. The fourth scanning signal is a scanning signal with a low potential VGL.
In this embodiment, the second electrical signal FLK, the first resistor Rd, and the second resistor RE are adjusted to adjust the charging timing of a plurality of the light emitting modules 100, so that the charging timing of the light emitting modules 100 at the proximal end and distal end of the display panel is the same. That is to say, the charging time of each of the light emitting modules 100 on the display panel is the same, so that the display brightness of each light emitting module 100 is the same, and the brightness uniformity of the display panel is improved.

The display panel has been described in detail in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated herein.
As mentioned above, the application provides a display panel and a display device. The display panel comprises a display unit. The display unit comprises a plurality of light emitting modules, and a driving circuit electrically connected with the display unit and driving the display unit. The driving circuit comprises a first circuit module and a second circuit module. The second circuit module is electrically connected to the first circuit module and the display unit, respectively. The first circuit module outputs a first electrical signal and a second electrical signal correspondingly to the second circuit module according to a default charging timing, and the second circuit module controls charging each of the light emitting modules based on the default charging timing according to the first electric signal and the second electric signal. Therefore, the display brightness of each of the light emitting modules is the same, thereby improving the charging uniformity of the display panel and enhancing the display effect of the display panel.
