Technical solutions and other beneficial effects of the present disclosure will be apparent from the following detailed description of specific embodiments thereof in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
For a current display panel, a width of a wiring area between an IC terminal and an FPC terminal is too large due to two bonding processes, thereby causing a wider lower bezel of the display panel. The present disclosure provides a display panel, a bonding device and a bonding method thereof to solve the above problem.

In the first terminal area 11, the display panel includes an IC terminal electrically connected to the FPC terminal. In the wiring area 13, the display panel includes a terminal wiring that connects the FPC terminal and the IC terminal. The length of the wiring area 13 in the first direction X affects a length of the terminal area 102 in the first direction X, thereby affecting the bezel size of the display panel. In the present embodiment, by reducing a distance between the second terminal area 12 and the first terminal area 11, the length of the terminal wiring is decreased, and the length of the wiring area 13 in the first direction X is reduced, thereby reducing the width of the terminal area 102 and facilitating the realization of a narrow bezel of the display panel.

In the present embodiment, by reducing distances between the second terminal areas 12 and the first terminal area 11, a length of the terminal wiring in each of the wiring areas 13 is decreased, a width of the terminal wiring is reduced while the terminal wiring is guaranteed to have a predetermined resistance, so that a width of each of the wiring areas 13 is reduced, that is, a length of each of the wiring areas 13 in the first direction X is reduced. Therefore, a length of the terminal area 102 in the first direction X is reduced, thereby facilitating the realization of a narrow bezel of the display panel.
