1. A display panel, comprising:
a substrate having an opening in an opening area;
a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a display area, the display area surrounding the opening area;
an opposite electrode overlapping the plurality of pixel electrodes in the display area;
an intermediate layer between the plurality of pixel electrodes and the opposite electrode;
an encapsulation layer on the opposite electrode, the encapsulation layer comprising a first inorganic encapsulation layer, a second inorganic encapsulation layer, and an organic encapsulation layer between the first inorganic encapsulation layer and the second inorganic encapsulation layer;
a first inorganic insulating layer on the encapsulation layer;
a plurality of touch electrodes on the first inorganic insulating layer, the plurality of touch electrodes being arranged in the display area;
a barrier wall in a non-display area, the non-display area being between the opening area and the display area; and
an organic insulation layer disposed on an upper surface of the first inorganic insulating layer in the non-display area,
wherein:
the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic encapsulation layer each extend to the non-display area,
on an upper surface of the barrier wall, the first inorganic insulating layer is in direct contact with the second inorganic encapsulation layer, and
a contact area of the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic encapsulation layer is overlapped by the organic insulation layer.
