Abstract

Provided are a display panel and a display apparatus. A display layer in the display panel is located at a side of the circuit layer away from the substrate. The display layer includes a pixel definition layer, first electrodes and second electrodes. The pixel definition layer has openings exposing the second electrodes. At least part of the first electrodes is located in the openings. The touch layer is located at a side of the display layer away from the substrate, and includes a touch trace. The touch trace overlaps with the pixel definition layer along a direction perpendicular to a plane of the substrate. The first shielding structure and the first electrode are located in a same layer. The first shielding structure at least partially overlaps the touch trace along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate.
