The bonding pad 30 may be bonded to the driver chip or the flexible circuit board, for example. The substrate 20 may be a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate, and the material of the substrate 20 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
According to the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention, the vertical projection of the bonding pad 30 on the substrate 20 is at least partially overlapped with the vertical projection of the test circuit 10 on the substrate 20, namely, the bonding pad 30 and the test circuit 10 are arranged in a stacked manner in the direction vertical to the substrate 20, compared with the prior art that the bonding pad 30 and the test circuit 10 are respectively arranged in different regions, the space occupied by the bonding pad 30 and the test circuit 10 originally is reduced, the area of a non-display region is reduced, and thus the width of the lower frame of the display panel is narrowed.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that fig. 3 simply shows the relative positions of the test circuit 10, the substrate 20 and the bonding pads 30, but in practice, the cross-sectional view of the display panel along the QQ' direction also includes some other film layer structures, etc., which are not shown in fig. 3.
It should be noted that fig. 2 and 3 are only exemplarily illustrated by overlapping a vertical projection of the bonding pad 30 on the substrate base plate 20 and a vertical projection of the test circuit 10 on the substrate base plate 20, but do not constitute a limitation of the present application as long as a frame of the display panel can be reduced by a relative positional relationship between the bonding pad 30 and the test circuit 10. In other alternative embodiments, the vertical projection of the bonding pads 30 on the substrate base plate 20 may also completely cover the vertical projection of the test circuit 10 on the substrate base plate 20.
Optionally, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4, the display area AA includes a plurality of data lines 60; the test circuit output end of the test circuit 10 is electrically connected to the data line 60; at least one of the bonding pads 30 is electrically connected to the data line 60.
The display area AA includes a plurality of data lines 60, and the data lines 60 extend in a column direction.

The plurality of data lines 60 are electrically connected with one sector trace 02 through the demultiplexer component 01, so that data signals are provided for the plurality of data lines 60 through the mutual matching of one sector trace 02 and the demultiplexer component, and thus, the number of the sector traces 02 can be reduced relative to the number of the data lines 60, and the bonding pads 30 are electrically connected with the sector trace 02 conveniently. Specifically, after the display panel is manufactured, the display panel needs to be tested to detect a defective product, in this embodiment, the input end of the test circuit 10 is electrically connected to the test signal input end 50, the test signal is transmitted to the test circuit 10 through the test signal input end 50, the test signal reaches the demultiplexer component 01 through the sector routing 02, is transmitted to the plurality of data lines 60 after being processed by the demultiplexer component 01, and the defective product is detected by observing a display picture after the display panel receives the test signal.
In addition, after the display panel is tested, the driver chip needs to be bound to the area corresponding to the bonding pad 30 in the non-display area AB, so that the display panel performs normal display in the following process according to the signal sent by the driver chip. Specifically, the data signal output by the driver chip is transmitted to the demultiplexer component 01 through the bonding pad 30 via the sector routing 02, and is transmitted to the plurality of data lines 60 after being processed by the demultiplexer component 01, so that the display panel can normally display.

In the display panel provided by the present embodiment, since a partial region of the bonding pad 30 overlaps a partial region of the test circuit 10 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate base plate 20, for example, in fig. 4, the partial region of the bonding pad 30 overlaps the test control signal line 12 and the test signal line 14 of the test circuit 10, the bonding pad 30 moves upward as a whole, and thus, a bezel of the display panel is reduced.
