  • Patent number: 11508699
    Abstract: A display panel and a pixel structure are provided. The pixel structure includes a substrate, a micro light emitting diode (micro LED or ?LED), a sidewall structure, a filling layer, and a reflective layer. The substrate has a bearing surface, and the micro LED is disposed on the bearing surface directly or indirectly. The sidewall structure is disposed on the bearing surface and defines at least one accommodation cavity to accommodate the micro LED. The filling layer is filled in the accommodation cavity and surrounds the micro LED. The reflective layer covers a top surface of the filling layer and has a plurality of light-transmissible windows. The micro LED forms, in a vertical projection direction, a vertical projection region in an overlapping region on the reflective layer. Among the light-transmissible windows, those having longer distances to the vertical projection region have larger areas.
