Display apparatus having a pad spaced away from an encapsulating element and a black matrix on the encapsulating element

A display apparatus comprising:

• a device substrate including a display area and a non-display area;
• a light-emitting device on the display area of the device substrate;
• a pad on the non-display area of the device substrate, the pad having a stacked structure composed of a pad electrode layer and a pad cover layer;
• an encapsulating element covering the light-emitting device, the encapsulating element being spaced away from the pad;
• a touch structure on the encapsulating element, the touch structure including touch electrodes and bridge electrodes, the touch electrodes and the bridge electrodes being disposed outside the light-emitting device;
• a touch routing line extending along a surface of the encapsulating element to electrically connect the touch structure to the pad, the touch routing line having a stacked structure of an upper routing electrode layer and a routing cover layer;
• a touch insulated layer on the encapsulating element;
• a color filter on the touch structure, the color filter overlapping with the light-emitting device;
• and
• a black matrix disposed side by side with the color filter and on a same layer as the color filter, the black matrix covering the touch electrodes, the bridge electrodes and a portion of the touch routing line,
• wherein the pad cover layer fully covers an outermost side surface of the pad electrode layer,
• wherein a side surface of the upper routing electrode layer is covered by the routing cover layer,
• wherein the pad cover layer and the routing cover layer have an etch selectivity with the black matrix and the color filter,
• wherein the touch electrodes of the touch structure and the upper routing electrode layer of the touch routing line are disposed on the touch insulating layer,
• wherein the touch routing line includes a lower routing electrode layer between the encapsulating element and the touch insulating layer, and
• wherein the upper routing electrode layer is electrically connected to the lower routing electrode layer.
