Display device with through hole defined in electronic element setup region corresponding to electronic elements
View Patent ↗A display panel and a display device are provided. Through disposing the through hole in at least one of the driving circuit layer, the planarization layer, the pixel definition layer, and the common electrode layer of the display panel and in the electronic element setup region disposed corresponding to the electronic elements, external light may directly pass through a layer of film having the through hole when passing through the display panel. Light transparency is thus improved, and the technical problem that poor transparency exists in conventional flexible display screens is solved.
