Abstract

The present application discloses a display panel, comprising: a pixel structure constituted by a plurality of sub-pixels, wherein sub-pixels in each row are arranged in alignment, sub-pixels in every two adjacent rows are spaced in a column direction by a distance of X sub-pixels, 0<X<1, and a color of each sub-pixel differs from a color of an adjacent sub-pixel; a plurality of data lines arranged at column gaps between the sub-pixels; a plurality of touch signal lines arranged at gaps between the sub-pixels, wherein the plurality of touch signal lines are arranged in a different layer from the plurality of data lines and are insulated from the plurality of data lines; and a plurality of touch detection electrodes connected with the plurality of touch signal lines. The present application further discloses a method for manufacturing the above display panel and a display device.

Claims
