Abstract

Provided is a display apparatus capable of reducing generation of defects during manufacturing of the display apparatus or while in use after being manufactured. The display apparatus includes a substrate including a bending area between a first area and a second area, the substrate being bent in the bending area about a bending axis; an inorganic insulating layer over the substrate and including a first feature that is either a first opening or a first groove, the first feature positioned to correspond to the bending area; and an organic material layer at least partially filling the first feature, and including a second feature that is a second opening or a second groove, the second feature extending along an edge of the substrate.
