Abstract

Provided are a display panel and a display device. The display panel includes a base substrate, a first transistor, and a planarization layer. The first transistor includes a first active layer, a first gate, a first source, and a first drain. The planarization layer is located above the first source. In the direction perpendicular to the base substrate, at least one insulating layer and a first organic area are provided between the film layer where the first active layer is located and the planarization layer. An insulating layer in the first organic area is made of organic material and the first organic area is located in a display area.
