Display panel

A display panel, comprising:

• a base substrate including:
• an active area;
• an edge area adjacent to the active area and including margin areas and contact areas alternately arranged in a first direction;
• and
• a seal area adjacent to the edge area;
• a plurality of first electrodes in the active area;
• an auxiliary electrode in the edge area and spaced apart from the first electrodes in a plan view, the auxiliary electrode facing the first electrodes in a second direction that intersects the first direction;
• a pixel defining layer on the base substrate and including a plurality of openings exposing the first electrodes, respectively;
• a plurality of emitting patterns in the openings, respectively;
• and
• a second electrode overlapping with the plurality of emitting patterns and on the pixel defining layer,
• wherein the second electrode is spaced apart from the auxiliary electrode in the margin areas and is in contact with the auxiliary electrode in the contact areas, and
• wherein each of the contact areas and the margin areas overlaps with one of the first electrodes in the second direction.
