## Abstract

The embodiments of present the application disclose a display panel. The display panel includes a substrate disposed with a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines. A light-emitting component includes three scanning lines and two light-emitting units, and a light-emitting unit includes a plurality of sub light-emitting pixels. A number of the data lines is less than a number of the sub light-emitting pixels in the light-emitting unit, and a product of the data lines and the scanning lines is greater than or equal to the number of the sub light-emitting pixels. By electrically connecting two light-emitting units with three scanning lines, the number of the data lines is reduced and production cost is decreased.
