1. A display panel comprising:
a display device layer comprising a first light emitting area, a second light emitting area spaced apart from the first light emitting area in a column direction, a third light emitting area spaced apart from the first light emitting area in a row direction crossing the column direction, and a non-light emitting area disposed between the first to third light emitting areas; and
a light shielding member disposed on the display device layer, the light shielding member overlaps the on-light emitting area and includes light shielding openings corresponding to the first to third light emitting areas,
wherein a first portion of the light shielding member disposed between the first light emitting area and the second light emitting area has a first thickness at a first edge adjacent to the first light emitting area and a second thickness that is different from the first thickness at a second edge adjacent to the second light emitting area, and
a second portion of the light shielding member disposed between the first light emitting area and the third light emitting area has a uniform thickness.
