Display apparatus

A display apparatus comprising:

• a substrate comprising a bending area located between a first area and a second area and bent in the bending area;
• a display unit arranged over an upper surface of the substrate and located in the first area;
• a protection film located over a lower surface of the substrate and comprising a protection film base and a viscous layer, the protection film base not directly contacting the substrate;
• and
• a bending protection layer corresponding to the bending area,
• wherein the protection film base has an opening corresponding to the bending area or at least a part of the first area and the second area, wherein the opening extends through an entire thickness of the protection film base,
• wherein a height of one point of the bending protection layer in the second area is higher than a height of one point of the bending protection layer in the bending area.
