A display apparatus includes a substrate including a display area and a non-display area; a gate line and a data line disposed on the substrate, wherein the gate line and the data line intersect each other; a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed on the gate line and the data line, wherein each of the plurality of light-emitting elements includes a first electrode, a light-emissive layer, and a second electrode; a first thin-film transistor and a second thin-film transistor disposed under each of the plurality of light-emitting elements; and a light-blocking layer disposed on the first thin-film transistor or the second thin-film transistor, wherein the light-blocking layer and the first electrode are disposed at the same vertical level, wherein the light-blocking layer overlaps at least one of the first thin-film transistor or the second thin-film transistor.
