It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the application, and are not used to limit the present application.

     The present application provides a display panel including a non-display region  100   a  and a GOA unit region  101   a  in the non-display region  100   a . The GOA unit region  101   a  includes multi-level GOA units  101  arranged in multiple columns, so that a plurality of GOA units  101  are distributed in the non-display region  100   a  with multiple columns. A space limitation problem of arranging the plurality of GOA units  101  in the display panel is improved while the display panel achieves high resolution. 
     Each of the GOA units  101  includes an input end, an output end, and a pull-up module and a pull-down module connected to the input end. The pull-up module is configured to control one of the GOA units  101  to turn on in response to a turn-on signal received by the input end. The pull-down module is configured to control one of the GOA units  101  to turn off in response to a turn-off signal received by the input end. The output end is configured to output a scan signal when one of the GOA units  101  responses to the turn-on signal and a clock signal received by the input end. 
     The output ends of the plurality of GOA units  101  are all connected to the scan lines in the display panel and are configured to transmit the scan signal to the display panel through the scan lines. 
     The turn-on signal includes a first turn-on signal STV and a second turn-on signal. The first turn-on signal STV is configured to turn on a first level GOA unit G 1  in the GOA units  101 . Furthermore, the first turn-on signal STV is configured to turn on the first level GOA unit G 1  and a second level GOA unit G 2  in the GOA units  101 . The second turn-on signal is configured to turn on the rest of the GOA units  101 . The second turn-on signal can be transmitted individually or can be provided by the cascaded GOA units  101 . 
     If the second turn-on signal is provided by the cascaded GOA units  101 , the output end of a k-th level GOA unit G k  is connected to the input ends of subsequent q levels of the GOA units  101 , so that a k-th level scan signal S k  output from the k-th level GOA unit G k  is used as a turn-on signal of the subsequent q levels of GOA units  101 , thereby turning on the subsequent q level of the GOA units  101 . 
     Furthermore, the k-th level GOA unit G k  can be connected to input ends of previous q levels of the GOA units  101 , so that the k-th level scan signal S k  output from the k-th level GOA unit G k  is used as the turn-off signal of the previous q levels of GOA units  101 , thereby turning off the previous q level of the GOA units  101 , wherein q=±1, ±2, ±3, etc., q is determined as a positive integer to indicate that it is used in the subsequent q levels of the GOA units  101 , and q is determined as a negative integer to indicate that it is used in the previous q levels of the GOA units  101 . 
     Specifically, if q=±1, the GOA unit region includes P levels of the GOA units  101 . The first level GOA unit G 1  in the GOA units  101  is turned on in response to the first turn-on signal STV and output a first level scan signal S 1 ; the second level GOA unit G 2  in the GOA units  101  is turned on in response to the first level scan signal S 1  and output a second level scan signal S 2 ; the first level GOA unit G 1  is turned off in response to the second level scan signal S 2 ; and a third level GOA unit G 3  is turned on in response to the second level scan signal S 2 . Similarly, a k-th level GOA unit G k  is turned on in response to a (k-1)-th level scan signal S k-1  output from a (k-1)-th level GOA unit G k-1  and output a k-th level scan signal S k ; the (k-1)-th level GOA unit G k-1  is turned off in response to the k-th level scan signal S k  output from the k-th level GOA unit G k , a (k+1)-th level GOA unit G k+1  is turned on in response to the k-th level scan signal S k  output from the k-th level GOA unit G k  and output a (k+1)-th level scan signal S k+1 ; and the k-th level GOA unit G k  is turned off in response to the (k+1)-th level scan signal S k+1  output from the (k+1)-th level GOA unit G k+1 . In this manner, the plurality of GOA units  101  of the GOA unit region complete a cycle of work until a P-th level GOA unit in the GOA units  101  is turned on and output a P-th level scan signal S P . Because the first level GOA unit G 1  is turned on in response to the first turn-on signal STV, k is greater than 1 (k&gt;1). 
     In  FIGS.  2 A to  2 E and  3 A to  3 D , q=±2 is taken as an example for description. Specifically, the GOA unit region includes P levels of the GOA units  101 . The first level GOA unit G 1  and the second level GOA unit G 2  in the GOA units  101  are turned on in response to the first turn-on signal STV and respectively output a first level scan signal S 1  and a second level scan signal S 2 ; the third level GOA unit G 3  is turned on in response to the first level scan signal S 1  output from the first level GOA unit G 1  and output a third level scan signal S 3 ; the first level GOA unit G 1  is turned off in response to the third level scan signal S 3 ; and a fifth level GOA unit G 5  is turned on in response to the third level scan signal S 3 . Similarly, the k-th level GOA unit G k  is turned on in response to a (k-2)-th level scan signal S k-2  output from a (k-2)-th level GOA unit G k-2  and output the k-th level scan signal S k ; the (k-2)-th level GOA unit G k-   2  is turned off in response to the k-th level scan signal S k  output from the k-th level GOA unit G k ; a (k+2)-th level GOA unit G k+2  is turned on in response to the k-th level scan signal S k  output from the k-th level GOA unit G k  and output a (k+2)-the level scan signal S k+2 ; and the k-th level GOA unit G k  is turned off in response to the (k+2)-the level scan signal S k+2  output from the (k+2)-th level GOA unit G k+2 . In this manner, the plurality of GOA units  101  of the GOA unit region complete a cycle of work until the P-th level GOA unit in the GOA units  101  is turned on and output the P-th level scan signal S P . Because the first level GOA unit G 1  and the second level GOA unit G 2  are turned on in response to the first turn-on signal STV, k is greater than 2 (k&gt;2). 
     Understandably, the plurality of GOA units are level-shifted from the first level to the P-th level, which means that after the first level GOA unit G 1  is turned on in response to the first turn-on signal STV; the second level GOA unit G 2  is turned on in response to the first turn-on signal STV; the third level GOA unit G 3  is turned on in response to the first level scan signal S 1  output from the first level GOA unit G 1 ; a fourth level GOA unit G4 is turned on in response to the second level scan signal S 2  output from the second level GOA unit G 2 ; and so on, until the P-th level GOA unit in the GOA units  101  is turned on in response to a (P-2)-th level scan signal S P-2  output from a (P-2)-th level GOA unit G P-2  and output the P-th level scan signal S P . 
     The clock signal is transmitted to the GOA units  101  through a clock signal line connected to an input end of each of the GOA units  101 . Furthermore, the input end of each of the GOA units  101  is connected to a plurality of clock signal lines, and moreover, the input end of each of the GOA units  101  is connected to three clock signal lines. 
     Please refer to  FIGS.  1 B,  2 A to  2 E, and  3 A to  3 D , the GOA unit region  101   a  includes a first GOA unit region  102   a  and a second GOA unit region  103   a . The multi-level GOA units  101  in the first GOA unit region  102   a  are odd-numbered GOA units, and the multi-level GOA units  101  in the second GOA unit region  103   a  are even-numbered GOA units. As a result, the plurality of GOA units  101  are evenly distributed in the first GOA unit region  102   a  and the second GOA unit region  103   a . 
     In addition, when the display panel includes P levels of the GOA units  101 , the multi-level GOA units  101  positioned in the first GOA unit region  102   a  can be a previous P/2 levels of the GOA units  101 , and the multi-level GOA units  101  positioned in the second GOA unit region  103   a  can be a subsequent P/2 levels of the GOA units  101 . Compared with a configuration that the previous P/2 levels of the GOA units  101  are disposed in the first GOA unit region  102   a , a configuration, which disposed the multi-level odd-numbered GOA units in the first GOA unit region  102   a  and disposed the multi-level even-numbered GOA units in the second GOA unit region  103   a , can reduce wiring lengths between the P/2 levels and the P/2+1 levels and reduce impedance of wirings. 
     Specifically, please refer to  FIGS.  2 A to  2 B , the first GOA unit region  102   a  includes n rows and m columns of the GOA units  101 . A GOA unit at an i-th row and a j-th column is G 2m(i-1)+2j-1 , wherein i =1, 2, 3, ..., n, j=1, 2, 3, ..., m, n&gt;1, and m&gt;1. Specifically, if the display panel includes P levels of the GOA units  101 , n=2, 3, 4, 5, ..., P/4, ..., P/2, etc., and m=2, 3, 4, 5, ..., P/4, ..., P/2, etc. 
     In the first GOA unit region  102   a , n×m levels of the GOA units  101  are arranged in the following manner:

     Specifically, in the first GOA unit region  102   a  as shown in  FIGS.  2 A to  2 B , m=2 is taken as an example for description. In the plurality of GOA units  101 , the first level GOA unit G 1  and the third level GOA unit G 3  are positioned in a first row, the fifth level GOA unit G 5  and a seventh level GOA G 7  are positioned in a second row. Similarly, a [4(n-1)+1]-th level GOA unit G 4(n-1)+1  and a [4(n-1)+3]-th level GOA unit G 4(n-1)+3  are positioned in an n-th row. 
     A first column (j=1) includes the first level GOA unit G 1 , the fifth level GOA unit G 5 , ..., a [4(i-1)+1]-th level GOA unit G 4(i-1)+1  positioned in an i-th row, ..., and the [4(n-1)+1]-th level GOA unit G 4(n-1)+1  positioned in the n-th row. 
     A second column (j=2) includes the third level GOA unit G 3 , the seventh level GOA unit G 7 , ..., a [4(i-1)+3]-th level GOA unit G 4(i-1)+3  positioned in the i-th row, ..., and the [4(n-1)+3]-th level GOA unit G 4(n-1)+3  positioned in the n-th row. 
     Furthermore, in the first GOA unit region  102   a , at least two columns of the GOA units  101  are arranged symmetrically to each other. Moreover, the clock signal lines for transmitting the clock signal are disposed between two columns of symmetrical GOA units  101 , so that the two columns of symmetrical GOA units  101  share the clock signal. 
     Specifically, please refer to  FIG.  2 B , the plurality of GOA units  101  in the first column and the plurality of GOA units  101  in the second column are symmetrical. Clock signal lines CK 1 , CK 3 , CK 5 , and CK 7  are disposed between the two columns of symmetrical GOA units  101 . The input end of the first level GOA unit G 1  is connected to the clock lines CK 1 , CK 3 , and CK 7 , the input end of the third level GOA unit G 3  is connected to the clock lines CK 1 , CK 3 , and CK 5 ; the input end of the fifth level GOA unit G 5  is connected to the clock lines CK 3 , CK 5 , and CK 7 ; and the input end of the seventh level GOA unit G 7  is connected to the clock lines CK 5 , CK 7 , and CK 1 . Therefore, the first level GOA unit G 1  and the third level GOA unit G 3  share the clock signal lines CK 1  and CK 3 ; the third level GOA unit G 3  and the fifth level GOA unit G 5  share the clock signal lines CK 3  and CK 5 ; the fifth level GOA unit G 5  and the seventh level GOA unit G 7  share the clock signal lines CK 5  and CK 7 ; and the seventh level GOA unit G 7  and the first level GOA unit G 1  share the clock signal lines CK 7  and CK 1 . In this way, a wiring width of the clock signal lines in the GOA unit region  101   a  is reduced, and a lateral width of the first GOA unit region  102   a  is reduced. 
     A ninth level GOA unit and the first level GOA unit G 1  are connected to same clock signal lines; an eleventh level GOA unit and the third level GOA unit G 3  are connected to same clock signal lines; a thirteenth level GOA unit and the fifth level GOA unit G 5  are connected to same clock signal lines; and a fifteenth level GOA unit and the seventh level GOA unit G 7  are connected to same clock signal lines. In this manner, connection methods of other odd-numbered GOA units and the clock signal lines can be obtained. 
     Please continue to refer to  FIGS.  2 C to  2 D , the first GOA unit region includes n rows and m columns of the GOA units. A GOA unit at the i-th row and the j-th column is G 2m(i-1)+2j-1 , and the GOA unit at a (i+1)-th row and the j-th column is G 2m(i+1)-2j+1 , wherein i is an odd number (i.e., i=1, 3, 5, ..., n), j=1, 2, 3, ..., m, n&gt;1, and m&gt;1. Specifically, when the display panel includes P levels of the GOA units  101 , n=2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 50,  100 , ..., P/4, ..., P/2, etc., and m=2, 3, 4, 5, ..., P/4, ..., P/2, etc. 
     In the first GOA unit region  102   a , if n is an odd number, n×m levels of the GOA units  101  are arranged in the following manner:

In the plurality of GOA units  101 , the first level GOA unit G 1 , the third level GOA unit G 3 , and the fifth level GOA unit G 5  are positioned in the first row, and the eleventh level GOA unit G 11 , the ninth level GOA unit G 9 , and the seventh level GOA G 7  are positioned in the second row. Similarly, if n is an odd number, a [6(n-1)+1]-th level GOA unit G 6(n-1)+1 , a [6(n-1)+3]-th level GOA unit G 6(n-1)+3 , and a [6(n-1)+5]-th level GOA unit G 6(n-1)+5  are positioned in the n-th row. If n is an even number, a (6n-1)-th level GOA unit G 6n-1 , a (6n-3)-th level GOA unit G 6n-3 , and a (6n-5)-th level GOA unit G 6n-5  are positioned in the n-th row. 
     The first column (j=1) includes the first level GOA unit G 1 , the eleventh level GOA unit G 11 , ..., a [6(i-1)+1]-th level GOA unit G 6(i-1)+1  positioned in the i-th row (odd-numbered row), a [6(i+1)-1]-th level GOA unit G 6(i+1)-1  positioned in the (i+1)-th row (even-numbered row, i.e., i+1 is an even number), ..., and the [6(n-1)+1]-th level GOA unit G 6(n-1)+1  positioned in the n-th row (n is an odd number); or the (6n-1)-th level GOA unit G 6n-1  positioned in the n-th row (n is an even number). 
     The second column (j=2) includes the third level GOA unit G 3 , the ninth level GOA unit G 9 , ..., a [6(i-1)+3]-th level GOA unit G 6(i-1)+3  positioned in the i-th row (odd-numbered row), a [6(i+1)-3]-th level GOA unit G 6(i+1)-3  positioned in the (i+1)-th row (even-numbered row), ..., and the [6(n-1)+3]-th level GOA unit G 6(n-1)+3  positioned in the n-th row (n is an odd number); or a (6n-3)-th level GOA unit G 6n-3  positioned in the n-th row (n is an even number). 
     A third column (j=3) includes the fifth level GOA unit G 5 , the seventh level GOA unit G 7 , ..., a [6(i-1)+5]-th level GOA unit G 6(i-1)+5  positioned in the i-th row (odd-numbered row), a [6(i+1)-5]-th level GOA unit G 6(i+1)-5  positioned in the (i+1)-th row (even-numbered row), ..., and the [6(n-1)+5]-th level GOA unit G 6(n-1)+5  positioned in the n-th row (n is an odd number); or a (6n-5)-th level GOA unit G 6n-5  positioned in the n-th row (n is an even number). 
     Furthermore, in the first GOA unit region  102   a , at least two columns of the GOA units  101  are arranged symmetrically to each other. Moreover, the clock signal lines for transmitting the clock signal are disposed between two columns of symmetrical GOA units  101 , so that the two columns of symmetrical GOA units  101  share the clock signal. 
     Specifically, please refer to  FIG.  2 D , the plurality of GOA units  101  in the first column and the plurality of GOA units  101  in the second column are symmetrical. The clock signal lines CK 1 , CK 3 , CK 5 , and CK 7  are disposed between the two columns of symmetrical GOA units  101 . The first level GOA unit G 1  and the third level GOA unit G 3  share the clock signal lines CK 1  and CK 3 ; the first level GOA unit G 1  and the ninth level GOA unit G 9  share the clock signal lines CK 1  , CK 3 , and CK 7 ; and the third level GOA unit G 3  and the eleventh level GOA unit G 11  share the clock signal lines CK 1  , CK 3 , and CK 5 . In this way, the lateral width of the first GOA unit region  102   a  is reduced. 
     In addition, the GOA units  101  in the odd-numbered rows can be obtained, which are arranged in reverse order of the GOA units  101  in the odd-numbered rows in  FIGS.  2 A to  2 B , and the GOA units  101  in the even-numbered rows can be obtained, which are arranged in same order as the GOA units  101  in the even-numbered rows in  FIGS.  2 A to  2 B . Otherwise, the GOA units  101  in the odd-numbered rows are arranged in reverse order, and the GOA units  101  in the even-numbered rows are arranged in reverse order of the GOA units  101  in the even-numbered rows in  FIGS.  2 A to  2 B . Details are not described herein again. 
     Please continue to refer to  FIG.  2 E , the first GOA unit region  102   a  includes a first subregion  1021   a  and a second subregion  1022   a . The first subregion  1021   a  includes n1 rows and m1 columns of GOA units. The second subregion  1022   a  includes n2 rows and m2 columns of GOA units. A number of columns m1 of the GOA units in the first subregion  1021   a  is greater than a number of columns m2 of the GOA units in the second subregion  1022   a , which means that m1&gt;m2. A sum of a number of rows n1 of the GOA units in the first subregion  1021   a  and a number of rows n2 of the GOA units in the second subregion  1022   a  is equal to a number of rows n of the GOA units in the first GOA unit region  102   a , which means that n1+n2=n. The second subregion  1022   a  is provided with an electrostatic discharge protective circuit ESD. In this way, a lateral width of the display panel is reduced. 
     In order to ensure that the second subregion  1022   a  has enough space to place the electrostatic discharge protective circuit ESD, a difference between the number of columns m1 of the GOA units in the first subregion  1021   a  and the number of columns m2 of the GOA units in the second subregion  1022   a  can be configured to be greater than or equal to 1. Furthermore, a difference between n and n1 is greater than or equal to 4, which means that the second subregion  1022   a  includes at least four rows of the GOA units. 
     The electrostatic discharge protective circuit ESD is connected to the input end of each of the GOA units  101  connected to the clock signal lines, so that the clock signal provided by the driving circuit can be transmitted to each of the GOA units  101 . The plurality of GOA units  101  in the first subregion  1021   a  and the second subregion  1022   a  can be arranged in the manner as shown in  FIGS.  2 A to  2 B  and/or 2C to 2D. Details are not described herein again. 
     Please continue to refer to  FIGS.  3 A to  3 D , the second GOA unit region  103   a  includes x rows and y columns of the GOA units  101 . A GOA unit at a z-th row and a w-th column is G 2y(z-1)+2w , wherein z=1, 2, 3, ..., x, w=1, 2, 3, ..., y, x&gt;1, and y&gt;1. Specifically, when the display panel includes P levels of the GOA units  101 , x=2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 50, 100, ..., P/4, ..., P/2, etc., and y=2, 3, 4, 5, ..., P/4, ..., P/2, etc. 
     In the second GOA unit region  103   a , x×y levels of the GOA units  101  are arranged in the following manner:

     Specifically, in the second GOA unit region  103   a  as shown in  FIGS.  3 A to  3 B , y=2 is taken as an example for description. In the plurality of GOA units  101 , the second level GOA unit G 2  and the fourth level GOA unit G 4  are positioned in the first row, a sixth level GOA unit G 6  and a eighth level GOA G 8  are positioned in the second row. Similarly, a [4(x-1)+2]-th level GOA unit G 4(x-   1)+2  and a [4(x-1)+4]-th level GOA unit G 4(x-1)+4  are positioned in an x-th row. 
     A first column (w=1) includes the second level GOA unit G 2 , the sixth level GOA unit G 6 , ..., a [4(z-1)+2]-th level GOA unit G 4(z-1)+2  positioned in a z-th row, ..., and the [4(x-1)+2]-th level GOA unit G 4(x-1)+2  positioned in the x-th row. 
     A second column (w=2) includes the fourth level GOA unit G 4 , the eighth level GOA unit G 8 , ..., a [4(z-1)+4]-th level GOA unit G 4(z-1)+4  positioned in the z-th row, ..., and the [4(x-1)+4]-th level GOA unit G 4(x-1)+4  positioned in the x-th row. 
     Furthermore, in the second GOA unit region  103   a , at least two columns of the GOA units  101  are arranged symmetrically to each other. Moreover, the clock signal lines for transmitting the clock signal are disposed between two columns of symmetrical GOA units  101 , so that the two columns of symmetrical GOA units  101  share the clock signal. 
     Specifically, please refer to  FIG.  3 B , the plurality of GOA units  101  in the first column and the plurality of GOA units  101  in the second column are symmetrical. Clock signal lines CK 2 , CK 4 , CK 6 , and CK 8  are disposed between the two columns of symmetrical GOA units  101 . The input end of the second level GOA unit G 2  is connected to the clock lines CK 2 , CK 4 , and CK 8 ; the input end of the fourth level GOA unit G 4  is connected to the clock lines CK 2 , CK 4 , and CK 6 ; the input end of the sixth level GOA unit G 6  is connected to the clock lines CK 4 , CK 6 , and CK 8 ; and the input end of the eighth level GOA unit G 8  is connected to the clock lines CK 6 , CK 8 , and CK 2 . Therefore, the second level GOA unit G 2  and the fourth level GOA unit G 4  share the clock signal lines CK 2  and CK 4 ; the fourth level GOA unit G 4  and the sixth level GOA unit G 6  share the clock signal lines CK 4  and CK 6 ; the sixth level GOA unit G 6  and the eighth level GOA unit G 8  share the clock signal lines CK 6  and CK 8 ; and the eighth level GOA unit G 8  and the second level GOA unit G 2  share the clock signal lines CK 8  and CK 2 . In this way, a wiring width of the clock signal lines in the second GOA unit region  103   a  is reduced, and a lateral width of the second GOA unit region  103   a  is reduced. 
     A tenth level GOA unit and the second level GOA unit G 2  are connected to same clock signal lines; a twelfth level GOA unit and the fourth level GOA unit G 4  are connected to same clock signal lines; a fourteenth level GOA unit and the sixth level GOA unit G 6  are connected to same clock signal lines; and a sixteenth level GOA unit and the eighth level GOA unit G 8  are connected to same clock signal lines. In this manner, connection methods of other even-numbered GOA units and the clock signal lines can be obtained. 
     Please continue to refer to  FIGS.  3 C to  3 D , the second GOA unit region includes x rows and y columns of the GOA units. A GOA unit at the z-th row and the w-th column is G 2y(z-1)+2w , and the GOA unit at a (z+1)-th row and the w-th column is G 2y(z+1)-2w+2 , wherein z is an odd number (i.e., z=1, 3, 5, ..., and x), w=1, 2, 3, ..., y, x&gt;1, and y&gt;1. Specifically, when the display panel includes P levels of the GOA units  101 , x=2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 50, 100, ..., P/4, ..., P/2, etc., and y=2, 3, 4, 5, ..., P/4, ..., P/2, etc. 
     In the second GOA unit region  103   a , if x is an odd number, x×y levels of the GOA units  101  are arranged in the following manner:
