Provided is a display panel including a substrate including an opening, a display area surrounding the opening, and a middle area between the opening and the display area, a plurality of inorganic insulating layers arranged on the substrate, a first partition wall and a second partition wall arranged in the middle area and arranged in the display area in a direction toward the opening, and a plurality of grooves arranged in the middle area and exposing portions of the plurality of inorganic insulating layers, wherein each of the plurality of grooves includes a metal dummy stack arranged at both sides of each of the grooves based on a virtual vertical line passing through a center of the groove and including a plurality of metal layers.

Display panel including a metal dummy stack arranged at both sides of each of a plurality of grooves

A display panel includes: a substrate including: a first area; a second area; and a third area between the first and second areas; a light emitting diode at the second area; an encapsulation layer over the light emitting diode; first and second partition walls at the third area; a first separator between the second partition wall and the first area; a second separator between the first separator and the first area; and a first groove between the first separator and the second separator. Each of the first and second separators includes: a first metal pattern layer; a first inorganic pattern layer; a second metal pattern layer; a second inorganic pattern layer; a third metal pattern layer; and a third inorganic pattern layer. An end portion of each of the first, second, and third inorganic pattern layers includes a tip extending toward a center of the first groove.

Display panel

A display panel includes: a substrate defining an opening therein; a plurality of light-emitting diodes in a display area surrounding the opening; an encapsulation layer on the plurality of light-emitting diodes, the encapsulation layer including at least one inorganic encapsulation layer and at least one organic encapsulation layer; a first partition wall and a second partition wall in a non-display area between the opening and the display area in a direction from the display area to the opening; and a plurality of grooves defined above the at least one inorganic insulating layer in the non-display area. The at least one inorganic insulating layer is on the substrate. At least one of the plurality of grooves is defined between the first partition wall and the second partition wall and is covered with the organic encapsulation layer.

Provided are a display panel and an electronic apparatus including the display panel. The display panel includes: a substrate having an opening; a plurality of light-emitting elements in a display area, the plurality of light-emitting elements including an intermediate layer; a plurality of partition walls in an intermediate area between the display area and the opening; at least one insulating layer positioned between the plurality of partition walls and the substrate; wherein the intermediate layer further includes an organic material layer extending toward the intermediate area from the display area, the organic material layer being separated by a plurality of first opening portions in the intermediate area, and the at least one insulating layer has a plurality of opening portions overlapping the plurality of first opening portions.
