Further, a first optical area of the display panel overlapping the first optical electronic device includes a plurality of first light transmission areas in addition to the plurality of light emitting areas, a second optical area of the display panel overlapping the second optical electronic device includes a plurality of second light transmission areas in addition the plurality of light emitting areas, a third optical area of the display panel not overlapping the first and second optical electronic devices includes the plurality of light emitting areas without including the first and second light transmission areas, and the first light transmission areas have a different shape or size than the second light transmission areas so a light transmittance of incident light through the first light transmission areas is different than a light transmittance of incident light through the second light transmission areas.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display device comprising:
a display panel including a plurality of light emitting areas;
a first optical electronic device located under the display panel;
a second optical electronic device located under the display panel,
wherein a first optical area of the display panel overlapping the first optical electronic device comprises a plurality of first light transmission areas in addition to the plurality of light emitting areas,
wherein a second optical area of the display panel overlapping the second optical electronic device comprises a plurality of second light transmission areas in addition to the plurality of light emitting areas,
wherein a third optical area of the display panel not overlapping the first and second optical electronic devices includes the plurality of light emitting areas without including the first and second light transmission areas,
wherein the first light transmission areas have a different shape or size than the second light transmission areas so a light transmittance of incident light through the first light transmission areas is different than a light transmittance of incident light through the second light transmission areas,
wherein the second light transmission areas have the same shape but different sizes and are alternately arranged along a same row line, in the second optical area, and
wherein no light emitting area is disposed between any adjacent second transmission areas having different sizes along the same row line.
