Display panel and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A display panel includes: an upper display substrate including a plurality of pixel areas arranged in each of a plurality of pixel columns and a light blocking area disposed adjacent to the pixel areas; and a lower display substrate including a plurality of display elements respectively overlapping the pixel areas, wherein the upper display substrate includes: a base substrate; a color filter layer disposed on the base substrate; and a light control layer disposed on the color filter layer and including transmission portions respectively at least partially overlapping first pixel areas arranged in a first one of the pixel columns and first conversion portions respectively at least partially overlapping second pixel areas arranged in a second one of the pixel columns, wherein the light blocking area includes a first light blocking area defined between the transmission portion and the first conversion portion, and a second light blocking area defined between the first conversion portions, and a first shortest distance from the base substrate to a lower surface of a first portion of the light control layer overlapping the first light blocking area is substantially equal to a second shortest distance from the base substrate to a lower surface of a second portion of the light control layer overlapping the second light blocking area.
