1. An electronic device comprising:
a display panel including a first area having a transmissive area and an element area, and a second area disposed adjacent to the first area; and
an electronic module disposed below the first area of the display panel,
wherein the display panel comprises:
a substrate;
a light blocking layer which is disposed on the substrate and has a first opening defining the transmissive area;
a plurality of pixel circuits disposed on the light blocking layer; and
a plurality of light emitting elements electrically connected to the plurality of pixel circuits, respectively,
wherein the plurality of pixel circuits comprise outermost conductive patterns disposed adjacent to the transmissive area,
wherein the light blocking layer comprises target portions each having a straight-line shaped edge in a plan view, and
wherein a distance from an edge of each of the target portions to an edge of a corresponding one of the outermost conductive patterns is between about 5 micrometers and about 20 micrometers.
