Abstract

A display panel and a display device are provided. A first angle is configured to be different from the second angle, to optimize bottom angles of a low-refractivity layer at a first color resist and a second color resist that have different thicknesses, so that increments of light-emitting efficiency of the display panel at the first color resist and at the second color resist are substantially the same, to avoid color deviation in light-emitting when the display panel operates, improving the light-emitting effect of the display panel, and achieving a better display effect of the display panel.
