Abstract

A display panel includes an array substrate, a composite functional layer, a first adhesive layer and a cover plate. The composite functional layer is located on a side of the light-emitting layer away from the base substrate. A through hole penetrating through the composite functional layer and the array substrate is formed on the array substrate and the composite functional layer. The array substrate includes a non-display area surrounding the through hole. The composite functional layer includes a first shading layer, and the orthographic projection of the first shading layer on the array substrate is located in the non-display area of the array substrate. The first adhesive layer is located on a side of the composite functional layer away from the base substrate. The cover plate is located on a side of the first adhesive layer away from the base substrate.
