## Abstract

A display apparatus including a circuit substrate, a plurality of light-emitting units, an optical film, a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer is provided. The light-emitting units are electrically bonded to the circuit substrate. The optical film overlaps the light-emitting units that are disposed between the optical film and the circuit substrate. The optical film includes a light reduction film overlapping a light-emitting surface of the light-emitting units away from the circuit substrate. The first adhesive layer is disposed between the light reduction film and the light-emitting units, and extends into interspaces between the light-emitting units. The second adhesive layer is disposed between the first adhesive layer and the light reduction film. The second adhesive layer has a first portion overlapping the light-emitting units and a second portion overlapping the interspaces. A thickness of the first portion is different from a thickness of the second portion.
