'''Brief explanation'''
 The abstract describes a display device that consists of a first substrate with an active region and a peripheral region. It also includes a circuit element layer with insulating layers and a transistor, a display element layer with a pixel-defining layer, a light-emitting element with electrodes and a light-emitting layer, and a partition wall that overlaps the peripheral region. A second substrate is placed on top of the display element layer, and a sealing member and filling member create an inner space. The second substrate has a recessed portion on its rear surface facing the display element layer, and part of the filling member is placed in this recessed portion.

'''Brief explanation'''
 The abstract describes a display device that consists of a display panel with light emitting regions and a non-light emitting region. The device also includes a light control layer with an organic pattern that has openings corresponding to the light emitting regions. The organic pattern is covered by a first adhesive layer with a lower refractive index, followed by a second adhesive layer with a higher refractive index, and finally a third adhesive layer with a lower refractive index.

'''Abstract'''
 A display device includes a display panel including light emitting regions, in which light emitting elements are respectively disposed, and a non-light emitting region adjacent to the light emitting regions and a light control layer including an organic pattern in which pattern openings, which overlap the non-light emitting region and respectively correspond to the light emitting regions, are defined, a first adhesive layer which covers the organic pattern and has a lower refractive index than the organic pattern, a second adhesive layer which is disposed on the first adhesive layer and has a higher refractive index than the first adhesive layer, and a third adhesive layer which is disposed on the second adhesive layer and has a lower refractive index than the second adhesive layer.
