Display apparatus and method of manufacturing the same

A display apparatus comprising:

• a first partition wall disposed on a substrate;
• a light transmissive layer spaced apart from the first partition wall in a first direction;
• a second partition wall disposed between the first partition wall and the light transmissive layer;
• a first color quantum dot layer disposed between the first partition wall and the second partition wall;
• a second color quantum dot layer disposed between the second partition wall and the light transmissive layer;
• and
• a metal layer disposed on respective upper surfaces and respective lateral surfaces of the first partition wall and the second partition wall and a lateral surface of the light transmissive layer,
• wherein the first partition wall and the second partition wall and the light transmissive layer include a same material.

A method of manufacturing a display apparatus, the method comprising:

• forming a first partition wall, a second partition wall, and a first color quantum dot layer on a substrate;
• forming a first protective layer on the first partition wall, the second partition wall, and the first color quantum dot layer;
• forming a metal layer disposed on respective upper surfaces and respective lateral surfaces of the first partition wall and the second partition wall and a lateral surface of the first color quantum dot layer;
• forming a light transmissive layer disposed between the first partition wall and the second partition wall;
• forming a spacer disposed on at least a portion of the first color quantum dot layer;
• and
• forming a second color quantum dot layer disposed between the second partition wall and the first color quantum dot layer,
• wherein the light transmissive layer and the spacer are formed simultaneously.
