Abstract

A display apparatus includes a display panel part, a polarizing member, and a neutral plane compensation member disposed between the display panel part and the polarizing member. The neutral plane compensation member includes a first layer and a second layer, a thickness of the first layer being in a range of 20 μm to 60 μm, and a modulus of elasticity of the first layer being in a range of 1×10 8 Pa to 1×10 10 Pa, a thickness of the second layer being in a range of 20 μm to 60 μm, and a modulus of elasticity of the second layer being in a range of 1×10 4 Pa to 1×10 6 Pa.
