Display with light absorber round optical element

A display apparatus, comprising:

• a display panel having a first area and a second area surrounding the first area;
• a main body supporting the display panel;
• an auxiliary member arranged in the main body and overlapped with the first area of the display panel;
• and
• a light absorption portion arranged in the second area of the display panel,
• wherein both the first area and the second area of the display panel are configured to emit light,
• wherein the first area includes a first pixel, the second area includes a second pixel,
• wherein each of the first pixel and the second pixel respectively includes a substrate, a circuit element layer provided on the substrate, a first electrode provided on the circuit element layer, and a bank provided to cover edges of the first electrode,
• wherein the substrate of the second pixel is on the lower surface of the circuit element layer,
• wherein a lower surface of the light absorption portion is disposed closer to the substrate of the second pixel than a lower surface of the bank of the second pixel in a direction from the light absorption portion toward the substrate of the second pixel,
• wherein the light absorption portion is arranged on an upper surface of the circuit element layer of the second pixel, and
• wherein each of the first pixel and the second pixel includes an insulating layer arranged on the upper surface of the circuit element layer, and the light absorption portion has a thickness equal to or thicker than that of the insulating layer.
