Abstract: A display apparatus including color filters is disclosed. The display apparatus may comprise a device substrate including pixel areas. A light-emitting device may be disposed on each pixel area. An encapsulating layer covering the light-emitting devices may be disposed on the device substrate. The color filters may be disposed on the encapsulating layer. For example, separating dams defining openings overlapping with the light-emitting devices may be disposed on the encapsulating layer. The pixel areas disposed in a first direction may display the same color. Some of the separating dams extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction between the pixel areas may have a relatively short length. Thus, in the display apparatus, the volume difference between the color filters may be reduced.
