The display panel comprises: a display substrate, an optical substrate, a light guide plate and a first frame; wherein: the optical substrate is arranged between the display substrate and the light guide plate, and the first frame is arranged on the same side edge of the display substrate, the optical substrate and the light guide plate; the light guide plate comprises a first portion and a second portion, wherein the second portion is formed by the first portion extending to the first frame from a side close the first frame, and the distance between the second portion and the first frame is smaller than the thickness of the light guide plate. Accordingly, the length of the light guide plate is increased, and the increased portion of the light guide plate extends into the first frame, enabling the light rays emitted from the backlight source to completely illuminate the display region after being reflected by the light guide plate, which improves the display effect. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A display panel comprising: a display substrate, an optical substrate, a light guide plate and a first frame; wherein: the optical substrate is arranged between the display substrate and the light guide plate, and the first frame is arranged on the same side edge of the display substrate, the optical substrate and the light guide plate; the light guide plate comprises a first portion and a second portion, wherein the second portion is formed by the first portion extending to the first frame from a side close to the first frame, and the distance between the second portion and the first frame is smaller than the thickness of the light guide plate; wherein the light guide plate further comprises a plurality of reflectors, the of reflectors being at least arranged on a side surface of the second portion close to the first frame and on a horizontal surface of the first portion. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display panel according to claim 1, wherein the shape of a cross-section of the second portion comprises a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, or an arc. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The display panel according to claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of reflectors comprises a conic reflector, a cylindrical reflector, a cubic reflector, a triangular reflector, a rectangular reflector, a trapezoidal reflector or a rhombic reflector. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The display panel according to claim 1, wherein the optical substrate extends to the first frame, and the distance between the optical substrate and the first frame is smaller than the thickness of the optical substrate. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The display panel according to claim 1, wherein the display panel further comprises a back plate, the back plate being arranged on a side of the light guide plate facing away from the optical substrate. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The display panel according to claim 5, wherein the display panel further comprises a second frame, the second frame being arranged between the light guide plate and the back plate. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The display panel according to claim 6, wherein the second frame surrounds the light guide plate, and the shape of the second frame matches that of the light guide plate. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The display panel according to claim 5, wherein the back plate further comprises a convex portion, the convex portion being arranged between the first frame and the light guide plate. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A display device, comprising the display panel according to claim 1. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The display device according to claim 9, wherein the shape of a cross-section of the second portion comprises a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, or an arc. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The display device according to claim 9, wherein each of the plurality of reflectors comprises a conic reflector, a cylindrical reflector, a cubic reflector, a triangular reflector, a rectangular reflector, a trapezoidal reflector or a rhombic reflector. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The display device according to claim 9, wherein the optical substrate extends to the first frame, and the distance between the optical substrate and the first frame is smaller than the thickness of the optical substrate. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The display device according to claim 9, wherein the display panel further comprises a back plate, the back plate being arranged on a side of the light guide plate facing away from the optical substrate. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The display device according to claim 13, wherein the display panel further comprises a second frame, the second frame being arranged between the light guide plate and the back plate. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The display device according to claim 14, wherein the second frame surrounds the light guide plate, and the shape of the second frame matches that of the light guide plate. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The display device according to claim 13, wherein the back plate further comprises a convex portion, the convex portion being arranged between the first frame and the light guide plate.
