Abstract

The present application provides a display panel and a display device. In the present application, a prism is arranged in the light-exiting direction of the light-emitting chip, and the prism includes protrusions, so that the prism can concentrate the light emitted by the light-emitting chips, thereby reducing a width of the light mixing area between adjacent light-emitting chips, and reducing a width of the black matrix, thus reducing the color shift, improving an aperture ratio, and reducing a distance between adjacent light-emitting chips to improve the resolution.
