Display panels and electronic devices

Abstract

A display panel includes a display medium layer between a first substrate and a second substrate. First and second data lines and first and second scan lines are disposed intersected on the first substrate to define a pixel area including a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate, and a common electrode over the pixel electrode. The common electrode in the pixel area has a first slit near the first data line and a second slit near the second data line. The first slit has a first edge close to the first data line. The second slit has a second edge close to the second data line. The pixel electrode has a third edge located in the first slit and a fourth edge located in the second slit. The distance between the first and the third edge is different from that between the second and the fourth edge.
