Display apparatus having a light-blocking pattern

A display apparatus comprising:

• a light-blocking pattern on a pixel area of a device substrate;
• an upper buffer layer on the light-blocking pattern, the upper buffer layer extending on a bending area of the device substrate;
• a switching thin film transistor on the upper buffer layer of the pixel area, the switching thin film transistor including a first semiconductor pattern spaced away from the light-blocking pattern;
• a separation insulating layer on the first semiconductor pattern, the separation insulating layer extending on the upper buffer layer of the bending area;
• a driving thin film transistor on the separation insulating layer of the pixel area, the driving thin film transistor including a second semiconductor pattern overlapping with a portion of the light-blocking pattern;
• a bending open hole on the bending area of the device substrate, the bending open hole including a first bending hole exposing a portion of the upper buffer layer and a second bending hole exposing a portion of the device substrate in the first bending hole;
• and
• an intermediate electrode on the separation insulating layer of the pixel area, the intermediate electrode connected to the light-blocking pattern through an intermediate contact hole,
• wherein the intermediate contact hole includes a first intermediate hole partially exposing the upper buffer layer of pixel area and a second intermediate hole partially exposing a portion of the light-blocking pattern which overlaps the first intermediate hole, and
• wherein a vertical depth of the first intermediate hole is the same as a vertical depth of the first bending hole.
