Display panel and electronic device including the same

A display panel, comprising:

• a base substrate comprising
• an emission area, and
• a non-emission area around the emission area;
• a light emitting element layer comprising
• a pixel defining film configured to define the emission area and on the base substrate,
• a first electrode on the base substrate,
• an emission layer on the first electrode, and
• a second electrode on the emission layer;
• an encapsulation substrate on the light emitting element layer;
• and
• a filling material between the light emitting element layer and the encapsulation substrate,
• wherein the light emitting element layer further comprises
• a spacer on the pixel defining film,
• a capping layer on the spacer and overlapping the emission area and the non-emission area in plan view, and
• a barrier layer on the capping layer and overlapping the emission area and the non-emission area in plan view,
• wherein the barrier layer covers the capping layer and comprises a first barrier layer and a second barrier layer on the first barrier layer,
• wherein the spacer comprises
• a top surface adjacent to the encapsulation substrate,
• a bottom surface adjacent to the base substrate, and
• a side surface which connects the top surface to the bottom surface, and
• wherein a thickness of the barrier layer on the top surface and a thickness of the barrier layer on the side surface are the same.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display module comprising a display panel;
• and
• a window module on the display module,
• wherein the display panel comprises:
• a base substrate comprising
• an emission area, and
• a non-emission area around the emission area;
• a light emitting element layer comprising
• a pixel defining film configured to define the emission area and on the base substrate,
• a first electrode on the base substrate, an emission layer on the first electrode, and
• a second electrode on the emission layer;
• an encapsulation substrate on the light emitting element layer;
• and
• a filling material between the light emitting element layer and the encapsulation substrate,
• wherein the light emitting element layer further comprises
• a spacer on the pixel defining film,
• a capping layer on the spacer and overlapping the emission area and the non-emission area in plan view, and
• a barrier layer on the capping layer and overlapping the emission area and the non-emission area in plan view,
• wherein the barrier layer covers the capping layer and comprises a first barrier layer and a second barrier layer on the first barrier layer, and
• wherein a density of the first barrier layer is higher than a density of the second barrier layer.
