a second pixel including a second red sub pixel, a second green sub pixel, and a second blue sub pixel and disposed in the non-folding area,

wherein a second capacitance of the second pixel is greater than a first capacitance of the first pixel.

2. The foldable display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an anode of the first pixel has different surface area than an anode of the second pixel.

3. The foldable display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the surface area of the anode of the second pixel is greater than surface area of the anode of the first pixel.

4. The foldable display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an aperture ratio of the red sub pixel, the green sub pixel, and blue sub pixel of the first pixel at the folding area is different from an aperture ratio of the sub pixels of corresponding colors of the second pixel at the non-folding area.

5. The foldable display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the aperture ratio of the second red sub pixel of the second pixel at the non-folding area is higher than the aperture ratio of the red sub pixel of the first pixel at the folding area.

6. The foldable display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the aperture ratio of the second green sub pixel of the second pixel at the non-folding area is higher than the aperture ratio of the green sub pixel of the first pixel at the folding area.

7. The foldable display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the aperture ratio of the second blue sub pixel of the second pixel at the non-folding area is higher than the aperture ratio of the blue sub pixel of the first pixel at the folding area.

8. The foldable display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the aperture ratio of the second blue sub pixel of the second pixel at the non-folding area is higher than the aperture ratio of each of the second red sub pixel and the second green sub pixel of the second pixel at the non-folding area.

9. The foldable display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the red sub pixel, the green sub pixel, the blue sub pixel, the second red sub pixel, the second green sub pixel, and the second blue sub pixel includes a light emitting layer, and
