  • Patent number: 12115765
    Abstract: A display module includes a cushion plate having a transmittance of 20% to 40% of light at a spectrum wavelength of 380 nm to 780 nm in an area thereof other than an area in which a through-hole is formed, such that a difference between transmittances in the area in which the through-hole is not formed and the area in which the through-hole is formed may be reduced as much as possible. Reducing the difference between the transmittances in the area in which the through-hole is not formed and the area in which the through-hole is formed as much as possible may allow reflected-light visibility in the area in which the through-hole is not formed and reflected-light visibility in the area in which the through-hole is formed to be realized in close to each other as much as possible, thereby minimizing low gray-level mura near the through-hole area.
