Claim 12:
13. A display panel comprising:
a substrate defining an opening therein;
a plurality of light-emitting diodes in a display area surrounding the opening, wherein one of the plurality of light-emitting diodes includes a first electrode, a second electrode, an emission layer between the first electrode and the second electrode;
an encapsulation layer on the plurality of light-emitting diodes, the encapsulation layer comprising an organic encapsulation layer, a first inorganic encapsulation layer below the organic encapsulation layer, and a second inorganic encapsulation layer above the organic encapsulation layer;
a plurality of grooves defined in a non-display area between the opening and the display area;
a plurality of lower layers each disposed below each of the plurality of grooves in the non-display area; and
at least one organic layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode in the display area,
wherein an upper surface of each of the plurality of lower layers corresponds to a bottom surface of each of the plurality of grooves,
wherein the at least one organic layer extends to the non-display area and is disconnected by at least one of the plurality of grooves.
