1. A display apparatus comprising:
a substrate having first group areas spaced apart from each other;
first pixel electrodes and second pixel electrodes in each of the first group areas;
first intermediate layers respectively on the first pixel electrodes;
second intermediate layers respectively on the second pixel electrodes;
a pixel defining layer on the first pixel electrodes and the second pixel electrodes, and defining first openings exposing at least a portion of each of the first pixel electrodes and second openings exposing at least a portion of each of the second pixel electrodes;
an opposite electrode on the first intermediate layers, the second intermediate layers, and the pixel defining layer;
a second capping layer on the opposite electrode; and
first capping layers on the second capping layer, respectively extending across an entirety of the first group areas, spaced apart from each other to correspond to the first group areas, and entirely overlapping the first openings and the second openings.
