## Abstract

The present invention provides a display panel, a display module, and an electronic device. The display panel includes at least one blocking portion. Each blocking portion has a first sub-blocking portion, at least one second sub-blocking portion, and at least one blocking unit. The at least one second sub-blocking portion partially covers the first sub-blocking portion. The blocking unit partially cover the corresponding second sub-blocking portion. A gap between tops of each two adjacent third sub-blocking portions is smaller than a gap between bottoms of each two adjacent third sub-blocking portions.

## Claims
