Display panel and display device including flexible substrate layer with intersecting planes

A display panel, comprising:

• a base substrate;
• and
• a flexible substrate layer on the base substrate,
• wherein the base substrate comprises a flat portion and a curved portion extending from the flat portion and curved towards a side of the base substrate facing away from a display surface of the display panel, and the flexible substrate layer comprises a first portion on a side of the base substrate facing the display surface of the display panel and a second portion on a side of the base substrate facing away from the display surface,
• wherein the first portion of the flexible substrate layer comprises a pixel circuit for driving pixels of the display panel, and the second portion of the flexible substrate layer comprises a signal line electrically connected to the pixel circuit,
• wherein the display panel further comprises a support structure fixed to the curved portion of the base substrate, the support structure comprises a support surface facing away from the display surface of the display panel, the second portion of the flexible substrate layer is coupled to the support surface to be supported by the support surface, and a plane of the support surface intersects a plane of the flat portion of the base substrate,
• wherein the support structure comprises a support adhesive layer, the support adhesive layer is fixed to a surface of the curved portion of the base substrate facing away from the display surface of the display panel, a flat surface of the support adhesive layer facing away from the display surface of the display panel forms the support surface, wherein the display panel further comprises a first protective layer between the support surface and the second portion of the flexible substrate layer, and
• wherein the display panel further comprises a second protective layer on a surface of the second portion of the flexible substrate layer facing away from the support adhesive layer.
