## Abstract

A display panel and a display terminal are provided. An arc line segment having a plurality of radii of curvature is used, and the radius of curvature of the arc line segment gradually decreases in a direction away from a center of the arc line segment, so that degumming stress and forming stress caused by bending deformation of the display panel can be reduced, and an angle between each linear segment and a tangent plane at the center of the arc line segment is reduced simultaneously, thereby resolving a problem of serious light leakage at a periphery of an existing display panel due to deformation.
