Abstract

The present application relates to a display screen and a display device. The display screen includes: a substrate; a display device disposed on the substrate, the display device including several film layers; and a thin film encapsulation structure disposed on a side of the display device away from the substrate, the thin film encapsulation structure including a first encapsulation film disposed on the display device, and a first atomic layer deposition film disposed on the first encapsulation film; wherein a thermal expansion coefficient of the first encapsulation film is between a thermal expansion coefficient of the film layer immediately adjacent to the first encapsulation film on the display unit and a thermal expansion coefficient of the first atomic layer deposition film.
