Transparent display apparatus
First Claim
1. A display apparatus comprising:
- a substrate;
a buffer layer disposed on the substrate;
a pixel disposed on the buffer layer and including a first area, from which light is emitted, and a second area that does not intersect the first area, through which ambient light is transmitted, the buffer layer extending through both the first area and the second area of the pixel;
a pixel circuit unit disposed in the first area of the pixel and including at least one thin film transistor;
an inorganic insulation layer disposed on the buffer layer, exclusively in the second area of the pixel;
a first insulation layer covering the pixel circuit unit in the first area, and having an opening exposing at least a portion of the inorganic insulation layer in the second area;
a first electrode disposed on the first insulation layer in the first area, wherein the first electrode is electrically connected to the pixel circuit unit;
a second insulation layer covering one or more edges of the first electrode, and the second insulation layer being disposed outside of the opening formed in the first insulation layer;
a second electrode disposed in the first area; and
an intermediate layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the intermediate layer including an emissive layer,wherein the buffer layer is between the substrate and the inorganic insulation layer in the second area of the pixel.

Abstract
A display apparatus includes a pixel having a first area emitting light and a second area transmitting light. A pixel circuit unit is in the first area and includes a thin film transistor. An inorganic insulation layer is in the second area. A first insulation layer covers the pixel circuit unit in the first area, and has an opening exposing the inorganic insulation layer in the second area. A first electrode is on the first insulation layer in the first area. The first electrode is electrically connected to the pixel circuit unit. A second insulation layer covers edges of the first electrode and is outside the opening formed in the first insulation layer. A second electrode is in the first area. An intermediate layer, including an emissive layer, is between the first electrode and the second electrode.
