Display apparatus and method of manufacturing the same

A display apparatus comprising:

• a substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface and comprising a bent area between a first area and a second area, the lower surface of the substrate in the first area and the lower surface of the substrate in the second area at least partially facing each other;
• a display unit over the upper surface of the substrate in the first area;
• a lower protective film over the lower surface of the substrate in at least a part of the first area;
• a support layer between the lower protective film in the first area and the lower surface of the substrate in the second area;
• an inorganic insulating layer extending from the display unit, the inorganic insulating layer being arranged over the upper surface of the substrate in the first area and the upper surface of the substrate in the second area, and having an opening not to be arranged in the bent area;
• and
• an organic material layer covering the opening,
• wherein a first surface of the support layer is adhered to the lower protective film in the first area, and a second surface of the support layer opposite the first surface is directly adhered to the lower surface of the substrate in the second area without the lower protective film.
