Abstract

A display panel including a first substrate, scan lines, data lines, sub-pixel units, a light-shielding layer, a second substrate, and a display medium is provided. Each of the sub-pixel units includes a main display unit and a sub-display unit. The main display unit includes a first switch and a first pixel electrode, wherein the first pixel electrode and the data lines adjacent thereto are separated from each other with a gap (G1). The sub-display unit includes a second switch and a second pixel electrode, wherein the second and the data lines adjacent thereto are overlapped with a first overlapping width (W1). The light-shielding layer is disposed between two adjacent first pixel electrodes such that the light-shielding layer and one of the first pixel electrodes adjacent thereto are overlapped with a second overlapping width (W2). Additionally, the display medium is display between the first substrate and the second substrate.
