a through hole provided in the substrate; and

a first region around the through hole, wherein

the first region includes a second region in which the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic insulating layer are in contact with each other,

ends of the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic insulating layer are between the plurality of pixels and an end of the through hole, and

the ends of the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic insulating layer are not aligned with the end of the through hole in a planar view.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a protruding portion protruding from the substrate towards the first inorganic insulating layer, wherein

the protruding portion is between the plurality of pixels and the end of the through hole, and

the protruding portion is covered with the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic insulating layer.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

the protruding portion is not covered with the organic insulating layer.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of scan lines; and

a plurality of signal lines intersecting the plurality of scan lines, wherein

a part of the plurality of scan lines or a part of the plurality of signal lines overlap with the first region, and

the light-emitting element is not overlap with the first region.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light-emitting element includes a first electrode, a light-emitting layer, and a second electrode, and

an end portion of the second electrode is in contact with the first inorganic insulating layer in the second region.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a side surface of the end of the through hole is covered by an insulating material.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of through holes including the through hole are provided in the substrate.

8. A display device comprising:

a substrate;

9. The display device according to claim 8 , further comprising a protruding portion protruding from the substrate towards the first inorganic insulating layer, wherein

the protruding portion is between the plurality of pixels and the end of the notch, and

the protruding portion is covered with the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic insulating layer.

10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein

the protruding portion is not covered with the organic insulating layer.

11. The display device according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a plurality of scan lines; and

a plurality of signal lines intersecting the plurality of scan lines, wherein

a part of the plurality of scan lines or a part of the plurality of signal lines overlap with the first region, and

the light-emitting element is not overlap with the first region.

12. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein

the light-emitting element includes a first electrode, a light-emitting layer, and a second electrode, and

the second electrode is in contact with the first inorganic insulating layer in the second region.

13. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein
