1. A display device comprising:
a display panel;
a polarizing plate disposed above the display panel, wherein the polarizing plate comprises a linear polarizing layer and a retardation layer;
a window member disposed above the polarizing plate, wherein the window member comprises a window and a protective layer disposed above the window, and the protective layer has a retardation of about 100 nm or less or about 5000 nm or greater;
an optical member disposed below the display panel;
a support member disposed below the optical member, wherein a through-hole is defined through the support member; and
an electronic module disposed to correspond to the through-hole,
wherein each of a film hole area of the optical member and a polarization hole area of the polarizing plate is a portion corresponding to the through-hole, and
wherein the film hole area, which is one portion of the optical member integrally formed with a remaining portion of the optical member as a single unitary and indivisible part, covers the electronic module corresponding to the through-hole.
