Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus includes a display panel including a display element. An upper organic layer is disposed over the display panel and includes a first non-folding portion and a second non-folding portion spaced apart from each other in a first direction. A first foldable portion is disposed between the first non-folding portion and the second non-folding portion and extends in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The first foldable portion has a thickness greater than a thickness of the first and second non-folding portions. A plurality of second foldable portions is disposed on both sides of the first foldable portion and extends in the second direction. The plurality of second foldable portions has a thickness less than a thickness of the first non-folding portion.
