1. A display apparatus comprising:
a substrate having a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area, the display area including a plurality of pixels;
a blocking block arranged in the non-display area and protruding to prevent a flow of a fluid outside the blocking block, the blocking block including an inner sidewall forming a groove having a pre-defined shape that collects the fluid, wherein the collected fluid is visible in the groove while the groove has the pre-defined shape to detect an overflow of the fluid; and
a dam disposed between the display area and the blocking block,
wherein the blocking block and the dam are placed on a same layer,
wherein a height from a top surface of the substrate to a top surface of the dam is greater than a height from the top surface of the substrate to a top surface of the blocking block,
wherein a height from the top surface of the substrate to a lowermost surface of the dam is equal to a height from the top surface of the substrate to a lowermost surface of the blocking block,
wherein the groove is formed continuously between the inner sidewall of the blocking block and an outer sidewall of the dam, and the collected fluid is fluid that overflows to an outer portion of the dam,
wherein an entirety of the inner sidewall of the blocking block and the outer sidewall of the dam comprises an organic insulating material, and
wherein the lowermost surfaces of the blocking block and the dam are composed of a same organic insulating material.
