Abstract
A display device that includes multiple inorganic layers having an opening defined in at least some of the inorganic layers, a pixel driving circuit disposed in a region defined by the opening in a plan view, and a light emitting element electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit. The at least some of the inorganic layers include an inorganic stacked structure disposed in the region defined by the opening. The inorganic stacked structure has a substantially polygonal or circular shape including a corner region having an outwardly convex curve in a plan view.
