Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A display apparatus includes a display panel in which a through-opening is defined, where the display panel includes a first pixel area in which a first pixel is disposed, a second pixel area in which a second pixel is disposed, and a connection area extending from the first pixel area to the second pixel area, where an edge of the first pixel area, an edge of the connection area, and an edge of the second pixel area define at least a part of the through-opening passing through the display panel, and where a thickness of the display panel in the connection area is less than a thickness of the display panel in the first pixel area.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A display apparatus comprising: a display panel in which a through-opening is defined, the display panel comprising: a first pixel area in which a first pixel is disposed; a second pixel area in which a second pixel is disposed; and a connection area extending from the first pixel area to the second pixel area, wherein an edge of the first pixel area, an edge of the connection area, and an edge of the second pixel area define at least a part of the through-opening passing through the display panel, and wherein a thickness of the display panel in the connection area is less than a thickness of the display panel in the first pixel area. 2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display panel further comprises: a substrate; and a display element disposed on the substrate and implementing the first pixel and the second pixel, wherein a thickness of the substrate overlapping the connection area is less than a thickness of the substrate overlapping the first pixel area. 3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the substrate comprises a first base layer, a first barrier layer, and a second base layer which are sequentially stacked, wherein the first base layer and the second base layer overlap the first pixel area, and the first base layer does not overlap the connection area. 4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the first base layer and the second base layer comprises an inclined surface. 5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display panel further comprises: a substrate; an organic insulating layer disposed on the substrate; and a display element disposed on the organic insulating layer and implementing the first pixel and the second pixel, wherein the substrate overlaps the first pixel area and does not overlap the connection area, and the organic insulating layer extends from the first pixel area to the connection area. 6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display panel further comprises a top surface of the display panel and a bottom surface of the display panel opposite to the top surface of the display panel, wherein a plurality of grooves is defined in the bottom surface of the display panel in the connection area. 7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a width of the first pixel area is greater than a width of the connection area. 8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of concaves recessed toward an inner portion of the connection area is defined in an edge of the connection area. 9. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of through-holes is defined in the display panel in the connection area. 10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a pattern layer overlapping the connection area, wherein the pattern layer comprises at least one of graphene oxide and polytetrafluoroethylene.
