In the non-display area NA, the substrate layer 2 is provided with a plurality of via holes 21, which penetrate the substrate layer 2, and the orthographic projection of the via hole 21 on the metal layer 3 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the pad 13 on the metal layer 3 at least partially, so that the end of the via hole 21 close to the array substrate 11 is connected to the pad 13.

[0050] Furthermore, the display panel 110 further includes an encapsulation layer 5, which is disposed on a side of the light-emitting layer 12 away from the array substrate 11 (i.e., a side of the array substrate 11 away from the substrate layer 2).

Optionally, the orthographic projection of the hollow portion 71 on the substrate layer 2 is within the orthographic projection range of the bonding component 6 on the substrate layer 2, so that the bonding component 6 can completely cover the metal layer 3 exposed in the hollow portion 71, prevent the metal layer 3 from being corroded due to exposure, and also prevent the metal layer 3 from being connected to other circuits through the hollow portion 71 and causing a short circuit in the circuit of the substrate 1.
