The display panel 10 includes a plurality of data lines 100 and sub-pixels (not specifically shown in the figure) connected to the data lines 100, and the data signals transmitted through the data lines 100 ensure that the sub-pixels emit light, thereby implementing the display function of the display panel 10. Further, the display panel 10 further includes a driving chip 200, and the driving chip 200 is configured to provide a display signal to the data line 100, so as to drive the display panel 10 to implement a display function. In the manufacturing process of the display panel 10 or the service life of the display panel 10, the data lines 100 may have abnormal states during signal transmission, and for example, a case that one of the data lines 100 is disconnected or shorted affects normal display of the display panel 10.
Specifically, the display panel 10 further includes a detection unit 300, and the detection of the state of the data line 100 is implemented by disposing the detection unit 300. In the prior art, the abnormality of the signal transmission of the data line 100 can be judged only when the human eyes can recognize the abnormal display effect of the display panel 10, but the display abnormality of the display panel 10 is not easily recognized by the human eyes, i.e. the judgment method has large error, so the detection accuracy of the data line 100 is poor. However, the detection unit 300 disposed on the basis of the display panel 10 can avoid the above-mentioned errors, and improve the accuracy of the judgment of the data line 100.
Specifically, the display panel 10 includes a plurality of data lines 100, the data lines 100 include an X-th data line 110 and a Y-th data line 120, where X =2n, Y =2n +1, n is an integer, i.e., the X-th data line 110 is an even data line 100 in the display panel 10, the Y-th data line 120 is an odd data line 100 in the display panel 10, and the X-th data line 110 and the Y-th data line 120 are adjacent to each other. Further, the detection unit 300 includes a first detection switch group 310, and the first detection switch group 310 includes a plurality of first detection switches 311, each first detection switch 311 is connected to the X-th data line 110 and the Y-th data line 120, respectively, and based on the detection signal transmitted by the driving chip 200, the detection of the states of the X-th data line 110 and the Y-th data line 120 is realized, that is, whether there are open circuits or short circuits in the X-th data line 110 and the Y-th data line 120 or not is determined, so as to ensure the determination of the state of the data line 100 in the display panel 10.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the first detection switch 311 includes a first control terminal 311A, a first input terminal 311B, and a first output terminal 311C, and the first control terminal 311A is electrically connected to the driving chip 200, that is, the driving chip 200 can control whether the first detection switch 311 operates.

Meanwhile, the driving chip 200 is electrically connected to the second ends 112 and 122 of the X-th data line 110 and the Y-th data line 120, respectively, that is, the driving chip 200 may transmit a detection signal to the data line 100, and determine whether to receive a feedback detection signal based on the state of the first detection switch 311, thereby determining the state of the data line 100.

Specifically, the data lines 100 further include a Z-th data line 130, where Z =2n +2, n is an integer, that is, the Z-th data line 130 is also an even number of data lines 100 in the display panel 10. And, the Y-th data line 120 is adjacent to the X-th data line 110 and the Z-th data line 130, respectively. Meanwhile, if the xth, yth and Z-th data lines 110, 120 and 130 are in one group, the Z-th data line 130 is the xth data line 110 in the next group. Illustratively, the X-th data line 110 is a 10 th data line, the Y-th data line 120 is an 11 th data line, and the Z-th data line 130 is a 12 th data line, and if the 10 th, 11 th, and 12 th data lines are in a first group, the 12 th, 13 th, and 14 th data lines are in a second group, that is, the 12 th data line is the Z-th data line 130 in the first group, and the 12 th data line is also the X-th data line 110 in the second group.

And, each of the second detection switches 321 is connected to the Y-th data line 120 and the Z-th data line 130, respectively. Meanwhile, the first detection switch 311 and the second detection switch 321 are both controlled to be turned on or off by the driving chip 200, so that the data lines connected with the first detection switch and the second detection switch are turned on or off. The detection signal transmitted thereto by the driving chip 200, and based on whether the driving chip 200 acquires the fed-back detection signal, the state of the data line 100 is determined. The process of determining the states of the Y-th data line 120 and the Z-th data line 130 based on the second detection switch 321 is the same as the process of determining the first detection switch 321, and will not be described in detail herein.

That is, the detection of the data line 100 is more embodied, and the accuracy of the state judgment of the data line 100 is improved.
Illustratively, when the display panel 10 is in an open circuit state with respect to the X-th data line 110 and the Y-th data line 120 through the first detection switch 311, if the driving chip 200 is connected to the second control terminal 321A, the second control terminal 311A controls the second detection switch 321 to be turned on, and the Y-th data line 120 and the Z-th data line 130 form a loop based on the second detection switch 321, when the driving chip 200 transmits a detection signal to the Y-th data line 120, and if the driving chip 200 can receive a feedback detection signal through the Z-th data line 120, it is verified that the Y-th data line 120 and the Z-th data line 130 are in a non-open circuit state, and the X-th data line 110 can be determined to be in an open circuit state, and the Y-th data line 120 and the Z-th data line 130 are in a non-open circuit state according to a detection result of the first detection switch 311, so as to achieve further accurate determination of the data lines 100, and improve accuracy of determination of the data lines 100 of the display panel 10.
Further, when the display panel 10 is in a short-circuit state with respect to the X-th data line 110 and the Y-th data line 120 through the first detection switch 311, if the driving chip 200 is connected to the second control terminal 321A, the second control terminal 311A controls the second detection switch 321 to be turned off, and the Y-th data line 120 and the Z-th data line 130 do not form a loop based on the second detection switch 321, when the driving chip 200 transmits a detection signal to the Y-th data line 120, and if the driving chip 200 does not receive a detection signal fed back through the Z-th data line 120, it is verified that the Y-th data line 120 and the Z-th data line 130 are in a non-short-circuit state, and in combination with a detection result of the first detection switch 311, the X-th data line 110 can be determined to be short-circuited, and the Y-th data line 120 and the Z-th data line 130 are not short-circuited, so that the data line 100 is further accurately determined, and the accuracy of determining the data line 100 of the display panel 10 is improved.
