This application discloses a display panel and a display apparatus. The display panel includes a substrate on which data lines, gate lines, pixels, and a gate driver chip are arranged, where the gate driver chip outputs gate enable signals to the gate lines to turn on the pixels; each row of pixels include a plurality of pixel groups, each of the pixel groups includes a first column of pixel and a second column of pixel, the first column of pixel and the second column of pixel are connected to the same data line, and the first column of pixel and the second column of pixel are connected to two different gate lines; and the channel width-to-length ratio of an active switch corresponding to the second column of pixel is greater than that corresponding to the first column of pixel.
