Therefore, the folding characteristic is excellent and the protective film may be easily replaced without causing the damage on the display panel if necessary.

A window member including a base substrate and a light shielding layer including a first light shielding pattern disposed in a first area of the base substrate and a second light shielding pattern disposed in a second area of the base substrate while being spaced apart from the first light shielding pattern and providing a signal transmission area at an inner side thereof. The second light shielding pattern includes an edge having a plurality of curved portions on a plane. This arrangement reduces an area of the light shielding pattern adjacent to the signal transmission area of the window member.

A display apparatus is formed with a hole in which a camera module or various sensor devices is received. The display apparatus includes a display panel, and a porous member, wherein a hole extends through the display panel and the porous member, wherein a portion of the hole extending through the display panel and a portion of the hole extending through the porous member are disposed in the same area in a plan view of the display apparatus. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce or remove the light-leakage phenomenon of the camera module, and increase the stiffness of the area around the hole of the display panel. A first coating is formed on a surface defining the hole such that an electric charge or electric field generated in the hole is discharged through the first coating.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel and a display device. The display panel includes a substrate, sub-pixels located on a side of the substrate and including light-modulating sub-pixels and non-light-modulating sub-pixels, and light-modulating structures located on sides of the sub-pixels facing away from the substrate. The light-modulating structure includes light-extracting portions and a high refractive index layer. A first distance L1 between the light-extracting portion and the light-modulating sub-pixel closest to the light-extracting portion and a second distance L2 between the light-extracting portion and the non-light-modulating sub-pixel closest to the light-extracting portion satisfy L1<L2. The high refractive index layer is located on sides of the light-extracting portions facing away from the substrate and covers the sub-pixels and the light-extracting portions, and the high refractive index layer has a greater refractive index than that of the light-extracting portion.
