Display apparatus and manufacturing method thereof

A display apparatus, which comprises a display region and a peripheral region adjacent to the display region, the display region comprising light emitting regions and a non-light emitting region adjacent to each of the light emitting regions, the display apparatus comprising:

• a base layer;
• a power pad disposed on the base layer to overlap the peripheral region;
• a pixel defining film which is disposed on the base layer and in which an opening portion is defined to correspond to each of the light emitting regions;
• a first electrode disposed on the base layer and patterned to correspond to each of the light emitting regions;
• a light emitting layer disposed on the first electrode and patterned to correspond to each of the light emitting regions;
• a second electrode disposed on the light emitting layer and electrically connected to the power pad;
• and
• at least one upper auxiliary electrode disposed on the second electrode to overlap the non-light emitting region, extending in a first direction, and having a resistivity lower than a resistivity of the second electrode,
• wherein the at least one upper auxiliary electrode comprises:
• a first portion adjacent to the power pad in the first direction and having a first thickness, and
• a second portion having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness and spaced apart from the power pad with the first portion therebetween.
