A display apparatus includes a display panel including a foldable area, and a first non-foldable area and a second non-foldable area, a cover window disposed on the display panel, and a protective layer including a soft layer and a hard layer. The soft layer is on the cover window and includes a first material, and the hard layer is on the soft layer and includes a second material having a Young's modulus greater than a Young's modulus of the first material, where the soft layer includes a hard pattern in a portion overlapping the first non-foldable area and the second non-foldable area, and the hard pattern is not in a portion overlapping the foldable area.
