Abstract

A display device is disclosed by the present disclosure. The display device including a first substrate, a display part on the first substrate, an encapsulation part covering the display part and at least two inorganic material-containing layers. The at least two inorganic material-containing layers include a first light absorbing layer, a first anti reflection layer and a second anti reflection layer disposed on the first anti reflection layer and having a smaller refractive index than the first anti reflection layer. Therefore, it is possible to provide a display device in which at least two inorganic material-containing layers are disposed to suppress reflection of external light.
