1. A display panel, comprising:
a display area; and
a bezel area surrounding the display area, the bezel area comprising:
a binding area; and
a fan-out area located between the binding area and the display area, the fan-out area comprising a plurality of fan-out leads disposed therein,
wherein the display area further comprises:
a first edge display area;
a center display area;
a second edge display area;
signal lines extending along a first direction disposed in each of the first edge display area, the center display area, and the second edge display area, wherein the first edge display area, the center display area, and the second edge display area are sequentially distributed along a second direction, and wherein the first direction intersects the second direction; and
a plurality of first connection lines and a plurality of second connection lines, wherein one end of each of the first connection lines extends to the first edge display area and the other end extends to the center display area, wherein one end of each of the second connection lines extends to the second edge display area and the other end extends to the center display area, wherein the signal lines in the first edge display area are connected to the fan-out leads through the first connection lines, wherein the signal lines in the second edge display area are connected to the fan-out leads through the second connection lines, and wherein the signal lines in the center display area are also connected to the fan-out leads,
wherein the binding area further comprises a drive chip bound to the fan-out leads, the drive chip comprising a sequence change module circuit configured to change, based on a first correspondence between an arrangement number of each of the fan-out leads and an arrangement number of a signal line connected to a fan-out lead of the fan-out leads, a sequence of first display data in a first display data sequence corresponding to input signal lines, to obtain a second display data sequence, so as to output second display data in the second display data sequence to the fan-out leads,
wherein there is a second correspondence between arrangement numbers of the signal lines corresponding to first display data at a same position sequence number and arrangement numbers of the signal lines corresponding to second display data,
wherein the first correspondence is the same as the second correspondence,
wherein the second display data in the second display data sequence is sequentially divided into a first change data set, a second change data set, a third change data set, and a fourth change data set in ascending order of position sequence numbers,
wherein the first change data set, the second change data set, the third change data set, and the fourth change data set each comprise a plurality of pieces of second display data,
wherein a change rule between arrangement numbers of signal lines corresponding to second display data in the first change data set is different from a change rule between arrangement numbers of signal lines corresponding to second display data in the second change data set, and
wherein a change rule between arrangement numbers of signal lines corresponding to second display data in the fourth change data set is different from a change rule between arrangement numbers of signal lines corresponding to second display data in the third change data set.
