Based on the above technical problem, the present embodiment proposes the following solutions:
fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a cross section along the AA' direction of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The m first pixel driving circuits 41 include a driving circuit that drives the red sub-pixel, a driving circuit that drives the green sub-pixel, and a driving circuit that drives the blue sub-pixel. The m first pixel driving circuits 41 may drive one first pixel 33, or may drive two or more second pixels 33, that is, two or more first sub-pixels of the same emission color share one first pixel driving circuit, so that one pixel driving unit 5 corresponds to a plurality of first pixels 33, one pixel driving unit 5 may have a larger space for arranging the pixel driving circuits, and the first pixel driving circuit 41 and the second pixel driving circuit 42 may have larger volumes to improve driving capability and display effect of the display panel.
