Abstract

The disclosure discloses a display panel and a display device to thereby extend an area for recognizing a fingerprint or a palmprint instead of only a fixed area in which a fingerprint can be recognized as in the related art, so as to recognize a fingerprint or a palmprint throughout the screen while improving the precision of recognizing light rays. The display panel according to the disclosure includes: a base substrate; and, infrared light sources, pixel units, and infrared photosensitive sensors on the base substrate.
