The display panel 110 according to the present exemplary embodiments described above will be briefly described again below.

The display panel 110 according to the present exemplary embodiments is disposed in the transparent area TA and includes the transparent part 211 and the first light emitting part 212 and the first light emitting part positioned on the side of the transparent part 211 . A plurality of sub-pixels including the first circuit unit 213 positioned below the 212 , the second light emitting unit 222 disposed in the opaque area OA and the second light emitting unit 222 under the second light emitting unit 222 . It may include a plurality of sub-pixels including the positioned second circuit unit 223 .

Here, the plurality of sub-pixels disposed in the transparent area TA may be disposed outside the display area A/A.

Accordingly, by arranging at least one of the camera module 121 and the sensing module 122 under the transparent area TA, the front photographing or sensor module of the camera module 121 is performed using the transparency of the transparent area TA. It may enable forward sensing of 122 and the like.

In this case, since it is not necessary to arrange the camera module 121 and the sensing module 122 outside the display panel 110 , the ratio of the screen size to the device size can be maximized.

Accordingly, assuming that the device size is constant, the bezel of the display apparatus 100 may be reduced, and the screen may be enlarged as the bezel becomes smaller. Assuming that the screen size is constant, since the bezel of the display apparatus 100 can be made small, the device size can be reduced.

Meanwhile, in the display panel 110 according to the present exemplary embodiments, one subpixel column disposed in the transparent area TA may correspond to one subpixel column disposed in the opaque area OA.

As described above, one sub-pixel column in the transparent area TA and one sub-pixel column in the opaque area OA correspond to patterning of signal lines such as sub-pixels and data lines in the display panel 110 . This can be rested.

Meanwhile, in the display panel 110 according to the present exemplary embodiments, all of the plurality of data lines disposed in the opaque area OA may be extended to the transparent area TA.

When all of the plurality of data lines disposed in the opaque area OA are extended to the transparent area TA, data line formation may be easier.

In addition, since each subpixel column in the transparent area TA and each subpixel column in the opaque area OA can receive a data voltage from the same data line, there is no need to change the existing data driving method. Data driving for the area TA and the opaque area OA may be easily provided.

Meanwhile, in the display panel 110 according to the present exemplary embodiments, one subpixel column disposed in the transparent area TA may correspond to two or more subpixel columns disposed in the opaque area OA.

As described above, as one sub-pixel column in the transparent area TA corresponds to two or more sub-pixel columns in the opaque area OA, structures such as a black matrix and a bank formed at the sub-pixel boundary point are reduced, so that the transparent area OA is transparent. Since the transparent area of the area TA may be increased, transparency may be increased.

Meanwhile, in the display panel 110 according to the present exemplary embodiments, a plurality of data lines may be separately disposed in the transparent area TA and the opaque area OA.

In this way, by separately disposing data lines in each of the transparent area TA and the opaque area OA, independent data driving for the transparent area TA and the opaque area OA may be provided.

Meanwhile, in the display panel 110 according to the present exemplary embodiments, a portion of the plurality of data lines disposed in the opaque area OA may be extended to the transparent area TA.

Accordingly, a smaller number of data lines may be disposed in the transparent area TA than in the opaque area OA. Accordingly, the aperture ratio and transparency of the display panel 110 may be further increased.

For example, when one subpixel column disposed in the transparent area TA corresponds to two subpixel columns disposed in the opaque area OA, the data voltage is applied to a plurality of subpixel columns disposed in the transparent area TA. 1/2 of the plurality of data lines supplying ? may be disposed from the opaque area OA to the transparent area TA, and the other 1/2 may be disposed only in the opaque area OA.

In this case, only half of the data lines may be disposed in the transparent area TA compared to the opaque area OA. Accordingly, the aperture ratio and transparency of the display panel 110 may be increased.

As another example, when one subpixel column disposed in the transparent area TA corresponds to three subpixel columns disposed in the opaque area OA, data is converted into a plurality of subpixel columns disposed in the transparent area TA. One third of the plurality of data lines supplying a voltage may be disposed from the opaque area OA to the transparent area TA, and the remaining 2/3 may be disposed only in the opaque area OA.

In this case, only 1/3 of data lines may be disposed in the transparent area TA compared to the opaque area OA. Accordingly, the aperture ratio and transparency of the display panel 110 may be further increased.

In this case, since it is not necessary to arrange the camera module 121 and the sensing module 122 outside the display panel 110 , the ratio of the screen size to the device size can be maximized.

As shown in FIG. 12 , when the device size S is constant, the bezel of the display apparatus 100 can be made small, and the size of the display area A/A can be increased as the bezel becomes smaller. (H1 -> H2, H2>H1).
