Display panel and display apparatus

A display panel, comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate opposed to each other;
• a blue phase liquid crystal layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• a first polarizer located on a side of the first substrate away from the blue phase liquid crystal layer;
• a second polarizer located on a side of the second substrate away from the blue phase liquid crystal layer;
• a first electrode located on a side of the first substrate facing the blue phase liquid crystal layer;
• a second electrode loaded on a side of the second substrate facing the blue phase liquid crystal layer, the first electrode and the second electrode being configured to generate a vertical electrical field;
• a first prism layer located between the blue phase liquid crystal layer and the first polarizer and configured to deflect an incident light and direct the deflected incident light towards the blue phase liquid crystal layer;
• and
• a second prism layer located between the blue phase liquid crystal layer and the second polarizer and configured to deflect the incident light having passed through the blue phase liquid crystal layer and direct the deflected incident light towards the outside of the display panel;
• wherein the first prism layer is located between the first substrate and the first polarizer, and the second prism layer is located between the second substrate and the second polarizer;
• wherein the first prism layer comprises a plurality of first triangular prisms, and the second prism layer comprises a plurality of second triangular prisms;
• wherein both the first triangular prisms and the second triangular prisms are isosceles triangular prisms;
• and
• wherein the bottom faces of the first triangular prisms face towards the first polarizer and the bottom faces of the second triangular prisms face towards the second polarizer.
