Display device

A display panel comprising:

• a base substrate having a display region and a hole region included in the display region;
• a pixel circuit layer disposed on the base substrate;
• a light emitting element layer disposed on the pixel circuit layer;
• and
• an encapsulation layer spaced apart from the light emitting element layer by a predetermined distance, the encapsulation layer being disposed above the light emitting element layer to cover the light emitting element layer and define a space between the encapsulation layer and the light emitting element layer,
• wherein the encapsulation layer substantially entirely overlaps the hole region,
• wherein the hole region comprises a first region through which light is transmitted and a second region which surrounds a periphery of the first region to block light,
• wherein the encapsulation layer has a lower surface comprising a groove overlapping at least a portion of the hole region, and
• wherein the groove of the encapsulation substantially entirely covers the first region of the hole region.
