In the display panel provided by the embodiment, the photosensitive diode is used for detecting fingerprint information, and the photodiode is simple in structure, low in manufacturing process difficulty, small in size and convenient to integrate in the display area of the display panel.
In some optional embodiments, referring to fig. 7, in the present embodiment, the signal switching unit 12 includes: a second switch 121 and a third switch 122; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

When the third switch 122 is turned on, the electrical signal at the first input terminal I1 is output from the second output terminal O2 to provide the electrical signal to the conductive electrode 20.
In the display panel provided by this embodiment, two switches are disposed in the signal switching unit 12, and the electrical signal of the first input terminal I1 can be controlled to be output from any one of the first output terminal O1 and the second output terminal O2 at different stages of the display panel, so that the signal routing 13 can be multiplexed, and the electrical signal is transmitted for different structures at different stages of the display panel, thereby simplifying the routing arrangement of the display panel.

The conductive pad 33 may provide an electrical signal to the first and second control lines 30 and 31 to control the on or off state of the second and third switches 121 and 122.
Optionally, with continued reference to fig. 8 and fig. 9, one of the second switch 121 and the third switch 122 is a P-type thin film transistor, and the other is an N-type thin film transistor;
the first control line 30 and the second control line 31 are electrically connected to the same conductive pad 33.
In this embodiment, only the second switch 121 is a P-type thin film transistor, and the third switch 122 is an N-type thin film transistor. In other alternative implementations of the present invention, the second switch 121 may be an N-type thin film transistor, and the third switch 122 may be a P-type thin film transistor.
Since one of the second switch 121 and the third switch 122 is a P-type thin film transistor and the other is an N-type thin film transistor, the conducting signals of the two are opposite, the P-type thin film transistor is conducted under the control of a low potential, and the N-type thin film transistor is conducted under the control of a high potential. Therefore, the first control line 30 and the second control line 31 can be electrically connected to the same conductive pad 33, and the electrical signal of only one conductive pad 33 can control one of the second switch 121 and the third switch 122 to be turned on and the other to be turned off, thereby realizing the function of time-sharing outputting of the electrical signal by the signal switching unit 12.
