Display device including light blocking layer

A display device, comprising:

• an electronic module;
• and
• a display panel, comprising:
• a first display area that overlaps the electronic module;
• a second display area that does not overlap the electronic module and has a transmittance greater than a transmittance of the first display area;
• a base layer;
• and
• a light emitting element layer disposed on the base layer,
• wherein the light emitting element layer comprises:
• a plurality of first light emitting elements disposed in the first display area, each of the first light emitting elements comprising a first lower electrode, a first light emitting layer, and a first upper electrode;
• and
• a plurality of second light emitting elements disposed in the second display area, each of the second light emitting elements comprising a second lower electrode, a second light emitting layer, and a second upper electrode,
• wherein the display panel further comprises:
• a plurality of first light blocking patterns disposed in the first display area and respectively overlapping the corresponding first lower electrodes;
• and
• a plurality of second light blocking patterns disposed in the second display area and respectively overlapping the corresponding second lower electrodes,
• wherein each of the first light blocking patterns is not aligned with the corresponding first lower electrode, and each of the second light blocking patterns is aligned with the corresponding second lower electrode.
