In the embodiment of the present invention, after the plurality of folding AREAs are folded to form the hexahedron, the gate driving circuit (for example, the first gate driving circuit 21) that does not perform light emitting display forms the first continuous pattern 41, and the first continuous pattern 41 surrounds a circumference of four sides of the hexahedron, so that a circle of black edges is displayed in the hexahedron, thereby increasing the aesthetic feeling of the streamline of the display panel.

Exemplarily, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the first sub-display AREA a1 and the second sub-display AREA a2 are symmetrical with respect to the first gate driving circuit 21, and the third sub-display AREA A3 and the fourth sub-display AREA a4 are symmetrical with respect to the second gate driving circuit 22, so that after the plurality of folding AREAs are folded to form a hexahedron, the first continuous graphic 41 is located at the center of the side of the hexahedron, which further increases the streamline aesthetic feeling of the display panel.

After the plurality of folding AREAs are folded to form a hexahedron, the third gate driving circuit 23 and the fourth gate driving circuit 24 are butted to form two rows of cascaded shift registers 20. Therefore, the width of the occupied area of the third gate driving circuit 23 and the fourth gate driving circuit 24 in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the scanning line 31 is equal to the width of the first gate driving circuit 21 and the second gate driving circuit 22, and the first continuous patterns 41 have uniform thickness on the four sides of the hexahedron, thereby further increasing the streamline aesthetic feeling of the display panel. The width of the area occupied by the third gate driver circuit 23 and the fourth gate driver circuit 24 means a distance perpendicular to the direction in which the area occupied by the third gate driver circuit 23 and the fourth gate driver circuit 24 extends.

Along the extending direction of the scan line 31, the plurality of sub-pixel pixels in the first area 1 and the first sub-display area a1 share the same scan line 31, that is, the plurality of sub-pixel pixels in the first area 1 and the first sub-display area a1 are electrically connected to the same scan line 31. The plurality of sub-pixel pixels in the second, third, and third sub-display regions a2, A3, and A3 share the same scan line 31, that is, the plurality of sub-pixel pixels in the second, third, and third sub-display regions a2, A3, and A3 are electrically connected to the same scan line 31. The fourth sub-display area a4 and the plurality of sub-pixel pixels in the fifth area 5 share the same scan line 31, that is, the fourth sub-display area a4 and the plurality of sub-pixel pixels in the fifth area 5 are electrically connected to the same scan line 31.

The same scan line 31 in the second sub-display area a2, the third area 3, and the third sub-display area A3 is electrically connected to both the second sub-gate driving circuit 212 and the third sub-gate driving circuit 221. Since the sum of the widths of the first region 1 and the fifth region 5 is less than or equal to the width of the third region 3, the single-side driving is applied to the same scan line 31 in the first region 1 and the first sub-display region a1, the single-side driving is applied to the same scan line 31 in the fourth sub-display region a4 and the fifth region 5, and the double-side driving is applied to the same scan line 31 in the second sub-display region a2, the third region 3, and the third sub-display region A3, so that the single-side driving is applied to the scan line 31 with the shorter length, the double-side driving is applied to the scan line 31 with the longer length, and the attenuation of the scan signal when the scan line 31 is too long is avoided.

Exemplarily, referring to fig. 1 and 3, one scan line 31 in the sixth region 6 is electrically connected to an output terminal of one shift register 20 of the third gate driving circuit 23, one scan line 3 in the eighth region 8 is electrically connected to an output terminal of one shift register 20 of the third gate driving circuit 23, and one scan line 3 in the seventh region 7 is electrically connected to output terminals of two shift registers 20 of the fourth gate driving circuit 24, so that the scan line 31 with the shorter length is driven by a single side, and the scan line 31 with the longer length is driven by two shift registers 20 (similar to the double side drive), thereby avoiding attenuation of the scan signal when the scan line 31 is too long. The electrical connection between the scan lines and the shift register 20 in the ninth region 9, the tenth region 10 and the eleventh region 11 is similar to the electrical connection in the sixth region 6, the seventh region 7 and the eighth region 8, and is not described again here.

A first terminal of the first sub-gate driving circuit 211 is cascaded with the third gate driving circuit 23 in the sixth region 6, and a second terminal of the first sub-gate driving circuit 211 is cascaded with the third gate driving circuit 23 in the ninth region 9. A first terminal of the second sub-gate driving circuit 212 is cascaded with the first terminal of the fourth gate driving circuit 24 in the seventh region 7, and a second terminal of the second sub-gate driving circuit 212 is cascaded with the first terminal of the fourth gate driving circuit 24 in the tenth region 10.
