Abstract

A display apparatus may include: a cover member comprising a hole area; a light shielding layer, an adhesive layer and a display layer that are disposed under the cover member; a first opening provided at the adhesive layer and the display layer corresponding to the hole area; a camera module inserted into the first opening; and an intermediate member disposed between the hole area and the camera module.

Claims (32)

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a cover member comprising a hole area;

a light shielding layer, an adhesive layer and a display layer that are disposed under the cover member, wherein the display layer includes an array comprising a thin film transistor and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) layer on the array;

a first opening provided at the adhesive layer and the display layer corresponding to the hole area;

a camera module inserted into the first opening; and

an intermediate member disposed between the hole area and the camera module and in the first opening.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the camera module comprises a hole guide and a camera.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the light shielding layer has a second opening corresponding to the hole area, and the first opening and the second opening have different diameters.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the second opening has a smaller diameter than the first opening.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein an extending portion of the hole guide has a larger diameter than the second opening to contact the light shielding layer.

6. The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the extending portion of the hole guide is spaced a predetermined distance apart from the intermediate member.

7. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the hole guide comprises a black material for absorbing light and a porous material for absorbing an impact.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate member comprises a high refraction member, a prism member and a low refraction member.

9. The display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the prism member comprises the same material as the high refraction member.

10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate member has a first diameter near the hole area and a second diameter near the camera module, and the first diameter and the second diameter differ.

11. A display apparatus, comprising:

a cover member comprising a hole area;

a display layer configured to display an image, wherein the display layer includes an array comprising a thin film transistor and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) layer on the array;

a light shielding layer and an adhesive layer disposed between the cover member and the display layer;

a first opening where a part of the display layer is removed and which is disposed to correspond to the hole area;

a camera module accommodated in the first opening; and

an intermediate member disposed between the hole area and the camera module and in the first opening.

12. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the hole area comprises a first hole and a second hole, and the camera module comprises a first camera and second camera.

13. The display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the camera module further comprises a hole guide.

14. The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the hole guide has an extending portion configured to contact the light shielding layer.

15. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the intermediate member comprises a high refraction member, a prism member and a low refraction member.

16. The display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the high refraction member and the prism member comprise the same material.

17. A display apparatus, comprising:

a cover member comprising a hole area;

a light shielding layer, an adhesive layer and a display layer that are disposed under the cover member, wherein an area in which the light shielding layer is disposed is larger than an area in which the adhesive layer and the display layer are disposed;

a camera module disposed under the hole area; and

an intermediate member disposed between the hole area and the camera module.
