Abstract

A display panel and a display device are provided. The display panel has a display region and a peripheral region, a black matrix layer including a portion in the peripheral region; a first annular opening surrounding the display region and a second annular opening surrounding the first annular opening and on a side, away from the display region, of the first annular opening are provided in the portion of the black matrix layer; the first annular opening divides the portion of the black matrix layer into an inner part close to the display region and an outer part away from the display region; the second annular opening divides the outer part into a first part close to the display region and a second part away from the display region; both the first annular opening and the second annular opening are closed annular.
