Display panel

A display panel, comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other with a display medium interposed therebetween;
• a plurality of signal lines and a plurality of scanning lines provided on the first substrate to cross each other and be insulated from each other;
• and
• a plurality of pixel electrodes each provided in a vicinity of an intersection between one of the plurality of signal lines and one of the plurality of scanning lines so as to be connected to the one of the plurality of signal lines and the one of the plurality of scanning lines via a switching element, while the pixel electrodes define a display region of the display panel, wherein:
• a first electrode, for inducing an electrostatic charge applied to the display panel to the first electrode, is provided outside the display region in a vicinity of an end of at least one of each of the plurality of signal lines and each of the plurality of scanning lines, the first electrode being insulated from the plurality of signal lines and the plurality of scanning lines.
