Display panel with reduced external reflection and improved light efficiency

A display panel comprising:

• a base substrate including a plurality of pixel regions and a peripheral region adjacent to the plurality of pixel regions;
• a pixel defining film disposed on the base substrate and having a plurality of openings, each of the plurality of openings corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of pixel regions;
• a plurality of light emitting elements disposed on the base substrate corresponding to the plurality of openings and configured to generate first color light having a first color;
• an encapsulation layer disposed on the plurality of light emitting elements;
• a light shield pattern disposed on the encapsulation layer and overlapping the peripheral region when viewed in a plan view;
• and
• a light control layer disposed on the encapsulation layer and the light shield pattern, the light control layer including a separation wall section spaced apart from the light shield pattern and overlapping the light shield pattern when viewed in a plan view and a plurality of light control parts disposed in regions corresponding to the plurality of pixel regions,
• wherein the light shield pattern comprises a second material having a second color that is different from the first color.
