Abstract

Provided are a display panel and a display device. The display panel includes a base substrate, and a first signal line and a second signal line that are located on a side of the base substrate. Both the first signal line and the second signal line are located in a first metal layer and extend along a first direction. The distance between at least part of a surface of the first signal line facing the base substrate and a plane where the base substrate is located is defined by D 1 . The distance between at least part of a surface of the second signal line facing the base substrate and the plane where the base substrate is located is defined by D 2 , such that D 2 is not equal to D 1.
