Abstract

A display panel and a display device are provided. The display panel includes a first optical refraction layer and a second optical refraction layer. The first optical refraction layer includes a plurality of openings. The second refraction layer is filled in the plurality of openings. A refractive index of the second optical refraction layer is greater than a refractive index of the first optical refraction layer. Furthermore, nanoparticles are further disposed in the second optical refraction layer. When light passes through, the first optical refraction layer and the second optical refraction layer can effectively improve transmittance rates of the light. Meanwhile, the nanoparticles can further act on the light, thereby effectively increasing a light extraction rate of the display panel and improving display effect of the display panel.
