1. A display panel, comprising:
a first base layer;
a second base layer facing the first base layer;
an image display layer which is between the first base layer and the second base layer and provides light;
a polarization layer which is between the image display layer and the second base layer, receives the light from the image display layer and transmits a polarized component of the light toward the second base layer, the polarization layer including a plurality of patterns extending along an extension direction and spaced apart from each other along a direction intersecting the extension direction; and
a plurality of pattern layers which are between the polarization layer and the second base layer and have refractive indices different from each other,
wherein the plurality of pattern layers which are between the polarization layer and the second base layer includes:
a lower refractive layer and an upper refractive layer which face each other, the lower refractive layer having a refractive index greater than a refractive index of the upper refractive layer, and
the lower refractive layer which has the refractive index greater than the refractive index of the upper refractive layer defining a plurality of protrusions of a lens layer which extend along the direction in which the plurality of patterns of the polarization layer are spaced apart from each other.
