Display device and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A display device includes a first area in which a foreign substance is disposed and a second area in which the foreign substance is not disposed. The display device includes a lower panel including a base layer, a display element layer, and an encapsulation layer, an upper panel disposed on the lower panel and including a light control layer and a color filter layer, and a filling layer filling a space between the lower panel and the upper panel. A distance between the display element layer and the light control layer in the first area is greater than a distance between the display element layer and the light control layer in the second area. Accordingly, defects caused by the foreign substance are prevented, and a display quality and a reliability of the display device are increased.
