Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, specifically to a display panel and a wearable display device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, identification marks are set on display panels to identify information about the display panel. Generally, the film structure of the identification mark differs from the rest of the display panel structure, especially from the conductive traces of the display panel. It has now been found that the electrochemical corrosion of the conductive traces and surrounding structures is related to the location of the identification mark.
