## Abstract

A display device includes: a display panel including a first substrate with a first surface and a second substrate disposed on the first surface; a third substrate, wherein the second substrate is disposed between the first substrate and the third substrate, and the third substrate has a second surface facing the first surface; an adhesion element disposed on the first surface and adjacent to the second substrate, wherein the adhesion element has a first through hole; and a filler disposed in the first through hole and in contact with the first surface and the second surface. The first through hole of the adhesion element has an area defined as a first area, the filler has a region in contact with the second surface, and an area of the region is defined as a second area. The ratio of the first area to the second area ranges from 0.5 to 0.99.
