A black matrix and a touch electrode may be disposed on a non-emission area of the device substrate. An encapsulation unit covering the light-emitting device and an optical insulating layer covering the black matrix may be disposed on the emission area and the non-emission area of the device substrate. The touch electrode and the optical lens may be disposed on the optical insulating layer. A lens barrier may be disposed on the optical insulating layer.
