  • Publication number: 20260157093
    Abstract: A transparent display apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a substrate including a display area, which includes a transmissive area and a non-transmissive area adjacent to the transmissive area. A plurality of subpixels is arranged in the non-transmissive area. A plurality of inorganic films is provided in the non-transmissive area and forms a step due to process variation. A planarization layer covers the plurality of inorganic films and partially includes a light path changing portion. The light path changing portion is configured to change the path of light incident on or passing through the transmissive area, thereby reducing diffraction caused by the step and improving clarity of objects or images viewed through the transmissive area. This structure may enhance optical performance in transparent regions while maintaining uniformity and efficiency in light emission across the display area.
