First Claim
Patent Images
1. A display panel comprising:
- a shielding member;
a substrate; and
a plurality of pixels arrayed in a display region;
whereinthe shielding member includes a shielding curved portion having a curved planar shape;
the substrate includes a substrate curved portion having a curved contour;
the plurality of pixels include pixels that appear to be curved when viewed from a viewing direction of the display panel because portions of the pixels that appear to be curved are covered by the shielding curved portion, the pixels that appear to be curved being arranged to define a curved pattern extending along with the curved contour; and
the shielding curved portion is arranged along the substrate curved portion.

Abstract
Each of a display panel and a display device includes a display region in which an image with uniform display quality is displayed and a curved line can be displayed in the contour. The display panel includes a shielding member and a plurality of pixels arrayed in a display region, wherein the shielding member includes a shielding curved portion having a curved planar shape, and the shielding curved portion shields the plurality of pixels to form a curved contour of the display region.
