Display panel including a capping layer

A display panel comprising:

• an upper display substrate comprising a display area and a non-display area adjacent to the display area, wherein the display area comprises a plurality of pixel areas and a light blocking area adjacent to the pixel areas;
• and
• a lower display substrate that faces the upper display substrate to emit first color light, the lower display substrate comprising a plurality of display elements respectively overlapping the pixel areas,
• wherein the upper display substrate comprises:
• a base substrate;
• a first light control layer on the base substrate to control the first color light;
• a capping layer comprising an absorption part overlapping the display area and being on the first light control layer and a barrier part overlapping the light blocking area and protruding from the absorption part in a direction away from the first light control layer in a thickness direction of the base substrate;
• and
• a second light control layer on the barrier part,
• wherein the second light control layer is a reflection layer comprising a metal material configured to reflect the first color light.
