Abstract
The present invention provides a display panel and a display device. A first gate electrode and a first polar plate of a first thin film transistor are used to constitute a storage capacitor. At a same time, the first polar plate and a second gate electrode of a second thin film transistor are disposed in a same layer. Therefore, a gate insulation layer used to separate the first polar plate from the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode in layers can be omitted, so as to reduce a number of film layers in the display panel and a thickness of a film laminated structure, thereby reducing a complexity of a process flow of the display panel, and improving bending ability of the display panel.
