1. A display apparatus, comprising:
a substrate having a hole;
a pixel array over the substrate, the pixel array comprising a plurality of pixels that are arranged around the hole;
an encapsulation layer over the pixel array and comprising a first inorganic film, an organic film, and a second inorganic film, wherein the organic film is interposed between the first inorganic film and the second inorganic film;
a touch layer over the encapsulation layer, the touch layer comprising a touch insulating film and a plurality of touch electrodes; and
a passivation layer including organic material and located over the touch layer, wherein the passivation layer overlaps at least a part of the touch insulating film in a region between the pixel array and the hole.
