Display panel and display device having touch electrode connecting pads disposed in arc shape

A display device, comprising a display panel comprising:

• an array substrate and a cover plate disposed opposite to the array substrate, each of the array substrate and the cover plate including a display area and a non-display area at least partially surrounding the display area, the non-display area of the array substrate including a step area provided with bonding pads, and the non-display area of the array substrate including at least one irregularly-shaped area adjacent to the step area;
• touch electrode layers on a side of the cover plate facing the array substrate;
• and
• a plurality of first touch pads and a plurality of second touch pads disposed opposite to the plurality of first touch pads, a first touch pad being electrically connected to a second touch pad, the first touch pads being in an irregularly-shaped area of the cover plate and being electrically connected to a touch electrode layer, and the second touch pad being in an irregularly-shaped area of the at least one irregularly-shaped area on the array substrate, and being electrically connected to a bonding pad in the step area, wherein:
• the array substrate includes a plurality of cascaded shift registers in the non-display area thereof;
• and
• at least part of the plurality of shift registers is in a shaped area, and in the shaped area, the plurality of second touch pads is on a side of the plurality of shift registers away from the display area of the array substrate.
