Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a substrate comprising a first display area including a first pixel area, a second pixel area, and a first transmission area, a second display area adjacent to the first display area, the second display area including a third pixel area, a fourth pixel area, a second transmission area, and a third transmission area, and a third display area adjacent to the second display area.

Claims (32)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a substrate comprising a first display area including a plurality of first pixel areas arranged along a row direction in a first row, a plurality of second pixel areas arranged along the row direction in a second row, and a plurality of first transmission areas alternating with the first pixel areas and the second pixel areas in the row direction and a column direction, a second display area adjacent to the first display area, the second display area including a third pixel area, a fourth pixel area, a second transmission area, and a third transmission area, and a third display area adjacent to the second display area;

a plurality of first pixels in the first pixel areas, each of the first pixels comprising a first pixel electrode, a first opposite electrode, and a first intermediate layer between the first pixel electrode and the first opposite electrode;

a plurality of second pixels in the second pixel areas each of the second pixels comprising a second pixel electrode, a second opposite electrode, and a second intermediate layer between the second pixel electrode and the second opposite electrode;

a plurality of third pixels in the third pixel area, each of the third pixels comprising a third pixel electrode, a third opposite electrode, and a third intermediate layer between the third pixel electrode and the third opposite electrode; and

a plurality of fourth pixels in the fourth pixel area, each of the fourth pixels comprising a fourth pixel electrode, a fourth opposite electrode, and a fourth intermediate layer between the fourth pixel electrode and the fourth opposite electrode,

wherein the third opposite electrode is connected to the first opposite electrode or the second opposite electrode, the third opposite electrode and the fourth opposite electrode are connected to each other, and the third opposite electrode and the fourth opposite electrode have different planar areas from each other.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first pixel areas, the second pixel areas, and the first transmission areas are alternately arranged to form a grating.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission areas are defined as areas between the first pixel areas and the second pixel areas.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first opposite electrode and the second opposite electrode are partially in surface contact with each other.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the second opposite electrode is arranged on the first opposite electrode in a surface contact area.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission areas have a different shape than the third transmission area.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a light transmittance of the first display area is different from a light transmittance of at least one of the second display area or the third display area.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first display area provides an image having a resolution less than a resolution of an image provided by at least one of the second display area or the third display area.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein main pixels are arranged in the third display area, each of the main pixels comprising a main pixel electrode, a main opposite electrode, and a main intermediate layer between the main pixel electrode and the main opposite electrode, and

the main opposite electrode is arranged on entire surface of the third display area.

10. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the main opposite electrode is connected to the fourth opposite electrode on the second display area.

11. The display apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising

a plurality of main opposite electrodes having stripe shapes, wherein

the plurality of main opposite electrodes are spaced apart from one another.

12. A display apparatus comprising:

a substrate comprising a first display area including a plurality of first pixel areas arranged along a row direction in a first row, a plurality of second pixel areas arranged along the row direction in a second row, and a plurality of first transmission areas alternating with the first pixel areas and the second pixel areas in the row direction and a column direction, a second display area adjacent to the first display area, the second display area including a third pixel area, a fourth pixel area, a second transmission area, and a third transmission area, and a third display area adjacent to the second display area;

a plurality of first pixels in the first pixel areas, each of the first pixels comprising a first pixel electrode, a first opposite electrode, and a first intermediate layer between the first pixel electrode and the first opposite electrode;

a plurality of second pixels in the second pixel areas, each of the second pixels comprising a second pixel electrode, a second opposite electrode, and a second intermediate layer between the second pixel electrode and the second opposite electrode;

a plurality of third pixels in the third pixel area, each of the third pixels comprising a third pixel electrode, a third opposite electrode, and a third intermediate layer between the third pixel electrode and the third opposite electrode;

a plurality of fourth pixels in the fourth pixel area, each of the fourth pixels comprising a fourth pixel electrode, a fourth opposite electrode, and a fourth intermediate layer between the fourth pixel electrode and the fourth opposite electrode; and

a component on a surface of the substrate so as to correspond to the first display area, the component comprising an electronic element configured to emit or receive light,

wherein the third opposite electrode is connected to the first opposite electrode or the second opposite electrode, the third opposite electrode and the fourth opposite electrode are connected to each other, and the third opposite electrode and the fourth opposite electrode have different planar areas from each other.

13. The display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein

the component is configured to emit or receive light through the first transmission area, and

a light transmittance of the second display area and a light transmittance of the third display area are less than a light transmittance of the first display area.
