## Abstract

A display device includes a window substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, a display panel under the window substrate, an opening being defined in the display panel, a light blocking portion directly on the bottom surface of the window substrate and surrounding the opening when viewed from a plan view, and an electronic component overlapping with the opening.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display device comprising:
a window substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface;
a display panel under the window substrate, an opening being defined in the display panel;
a light blocking portion directly on the bottom surface of the window substrate and surrounding the opening when viewed from a plan view; and
an electronic component overlapping with the opening,
wherein a plurality of transparent portions are defined in the light blocking portion,
wherein the electronic component comprises a plurality of electronic components and the opening comprises a plurality of openings,
wherein the openings overlap with and have one-to-one correspondence with the electronic components when viewed from the plan view, and
wherein the transparent portions overlap with and have one-to-one correspondence with the openings when viewed from the plan view.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the window substrate comprises a transparent area and a non-transparent area adjacent to the transparent area, and a print layer in the non-transparent area is directly on the bottom surface of the window substrate.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display device of claim 2, wherein the display panel comprises:
a display area configured to display an image and overlapping with the transparent area; and
a non-display area adjacent to the display area and overlapping with the non-transparent area,
wherein the opening is defined in the display area.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the display panel comprises:
a first display area; and
a second display area protruding from the first display area in a first direction, the opening being defined in the second display area.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The display device of claim 4, wherein a width of the first display area in a second direction intersecting the first direction is greater than a width of the second display area in the second direction.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the light blocking portion has a circular ring shape.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the opening is defined by a side surface of the display panel, and the light blocking portion overlaps with the side surface when viewed from the plan view.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the electronic component is under the opening.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the electronic component is in the opening.

### Claim 10

A display device comprising:
a window substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface;
a display panel under the window substrate, an opening being defined in the display panel;
a light blocking portion directly on the bottom surface of the window substrate and surrounding the opening when viewed from a plan view; and
an electronic component overlapping with the opening,
wherein the display panel comprises dummy pixels in an area adjacent to the opening,
wherein the dummy pixels comprise first dummy pixels and second dummy pixels,
wherein the first dummy pixels overlap with the light blocking portion when viewed from the plan view, and
wherein the second dummy pixels overlap with an area adjacent to the light blocking portion when viewed from the plan view.
