Although FIG. 1 illustrates that the hole H is at a center portion and is also at an edge portion(s) of the display region DA of the display apparatus 1000, the inventive concept is not limited thereto. The hole H may be located at any position in the display region DA while being surrounded by the pixels P. For example, the hole H may also be located at an outermost portion/an outer edge of the display region DA, as illustrated in FIG. 1.

Although FIG. 1 illustrates that the hole H has a circular shape, a semicircular shape, or a triangular shape, the inventive concept is not limited thereto. The display region DA may have various shapes, such as an elliptical shape and a tetragonal shape.

FIGS. 2A to 2E are sequential cross-sectional views taken along the line II-II′ of FIG. 1 to illustrate a method of manufacturing a display apparatus according to an embodiment. FIG. 3 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II′ of FIG. 1 to illustrate a display unit included in the display apparatus.

Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing a display apparatus according to an embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2E.

First, FIG. 2A illustrates a substrate 100 located in the display region DA. A display unit 200 including/defining at least one opening portion OP may be formed in the display region DA of the substrate 100.
