[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, an undercut structure 108 is provided at a portion corresponding to the non-display area NA. Since the cross section of the first flexible layer 102 cut out by the through hole TH is exposed, water vapor easily invades from the exposed cross section of the first flexible layer 102, causing the first inorganic layer 105 of the display panel 100 to fall off at the corner of the undercut structure 108. The further invasion of water vapor causes the display panel 100 to deteriorate and shrink. In the embodiment of the present application, an undercut structure 108 is provided at a portion corresponding to the non-display area, so that the light-emitting layer 104c is disconnected here, cutting off the invasion channel of water vapor from the light-emitting layer 104c.
[0062] It should be noted that the number of the undercut structures 108 in the embodiment of the present application is between 2 and 12. In some embodiments, the number of the undercut structures 108 may be any one of 2, 3, 6, 9, 11 or 12. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the undercut structures 108 is set to between 2 and 12, so as to avoid the situation where the light-emitting layer 104c is not disconnected at the undercut space 108a when there is only one undercut structure 108, thereby causing the display panel 100 to fail.
[0063] In some embodiments, the width of the opening H is greater than or equal to 30 microns. For example, the width of the opening H can be any one of 30 microns, 35 microns, 40 microns, 45 microns, 50 microns, 55 microns, 60 microns, or 65 microns. In the embodiment of the present application, the width of the opening H is set to be greater than or equal to 30 microns to ensure the accuracy of cutting the opening H.

It should be understood that the retaining wall described in the embodiment of the present application can also be understood as an undercut structure. Moreover, the retaining wall has a higher height than the undercut structure 108. This design method can further extend the channel for water and oxygen invasion, thereby further improving the stability of the display panel 100.
