Abstract

A display module and a display device are provided. The display module includes a display panel, and an anti-reflection film disposed on a light-emitting side of the display panel. The anti-reflection film includes a buffer layer and a function layer disposed on a side of the buffer layer away from the display panel, and a refractive index of the buffer layer is greater than a refractive index of the function layer.

Claims (65)
