1. A display apparatus comprising:
a display element layer which comprises a plurality of emission areas spaced apart from each other;
each emission area among the plurality of emission areas having a first length in a first direction, and a second length in a second direction crossing the first direction;
an encapsulation layer over the display element layer; and
a light-shielding pattern layer which is over the encapsulation layer and defines a plurality of holes respectively corresponding to the plurality of emission areas of the display element layer, the plurality of holes spaced apart from each other along the second direction by a distance along the second direction,
wherein
the display element layer has an upper surface at the emission area,
the light-shielding pattern layer has an upper surface furthest from the display element layer,
a distance from the upper surface of the display element layer at the emission area, to the upper surface of the light-shielding pattern layer, along a thickness direction of the display apparatus, is about 2.6 to about 2.8 times the second length of the emission area, and
the distance between the plurality of holes of the light-shielding pattern layer is about 1.5 to about 1.7 times the second length of the emission area.
