Display panel and display terminal

A display panel comprising a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area, the display panel comprises:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate disposed opposite and spaced apart from the first substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• a seal disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and located in the non-display area;
• wherein the seal surrounds the liquid crystal layer;
• and
• a multi-function layer disposed on the first substrate and located in the non-display area, wherein the multi-function layer comprises a support portion embedded in the seal and is in surface contact with the second substrate so as to effect an electrical connection between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• wherein the multi-function layer comprises a support layer formed on the first substrate, the support layer comprises the support portion, the support layer defines a first via located above a common electrode of the first substrate;
• and a conductive layer formed on the support layer, a region of the conductive layer located on the support portion is electrically connected to the second substrate, and the conductive layer is also electrically connected to the first substrate through the first via;
• the support layer is a shading layer;
• a total area of the support portion in contact with the second substrate is 1% to 5% of the non-display area;
• wherein the first substrate comprises:
• an underlay;
• a TFT layer formed on the underlay and comprises the common electrode;
• a first passivation layer formed on the TFT layer and away from the underlay;
• and
• a pixel electrode formed on the first passivation layer and located in the display area;
• wherein the conductive layer is connected to the common electrode of the first substrate through the first via;
• and the pixel electrode and the common electrode have the same thickness;
• and
• wherein the first substrate further comprises a support member formed on a gate of the TFT layer, the support portion and the support member have the same structure and are obtained in the same preparation process, and both the support member and the support layer are made of a shading material.
