A display panel and an electronic device are disclosed. The display panel includes a display area and a functional area. The functional area includes a first switch transistor, a second switch transistor, a sensing transistor, and a sensing capacitor. Specifically, an upper plate of the sensing capacitor is a transparent plate. The functional area can also serve a displaying function while performing color temperature sensing, gas sensing, or laser sensing, which increases an aperture ratio and transmittance of the display panel, so that an overall visual effect of the display panel is improved.
