BACKGROUND Technical field The present disclosure relates to electronic devices and in particular, but not exclusively, to display devices. Description of the related area In today's information society, display devices for presenting images or visual information are becoming increasingly important for users. The need for such display devices has spurred developments in display device technology, and various types of display devices, such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic light-emitting diode displays (OLEDs), and the like, have been developed and used. Display devices can suffer from a situation in which some of the light emitted by a layer of light-emitting elements cannot escape from a display panel due to total internal reflection between the layer of light-emitting elements and an electrode or an organic layer, thereby reducing the light extraction efficiency. Furthermore, the reflection sensitivity and viewing angle characteristics of display devices can be reduced due to external light entering the display devices. SUMMARY One object of the present disclosure is to provide a display device that can improve reflection sensitivity and / or implement good viewing angle characteristics. At least one of these objects is solved by the features of the independent claims. According to the present disclosure, a display device is provided which has a structure in which light emitted by a light-emitting element can be absorbed by a bank or can cause light trapped in a display board due to total internal reflection to escape from the display board.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Reference is now made to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, examples or aspects of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, the structures, implementations, methods, and operations described herein are not limited to the specific examples, aspects, and embodiments presented here and may be modified as is known in the prior art, unless otherwise indicated. Similar reference numerals denote similar elements throughout, unless otherwise indicated. The names of the respective elements used in the following explanations are chosen solely for the convenience of simplifying the writing of the application text and may therefore differ from those used in actual products.The advantages and features of the present disclosure and its implementation methods are illustrated by the following exemplary embodiments, which are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present disclosure may, however, be embodied in various forms and should not be interpreted as limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these exemplary embodiments are provided to ensure that this disclosure is sufficiently thorough and complete to assist those skilled in the art in fully understanding the scope of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the scope of the claims and their correspondences is not limited by the present disclosure. In the following description, where a precise description of the relevant known function or configuration might unnecessarily obscure aspects of the present disclosure, a precise description of such a known function or configuration has been omitted.The shapes, sizes, ratios, angles, numbers, and the like illustrated in the drawings to describe various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are, in some embodiments, merely illustrative. In other embodiments, the shapes, sizes, ratios, angles, numbers, and the like illustrated in the drawings are to scale and intended to represent features of the disclosure. The terms used here, such as "contain," "exhibit," "incorporate," "represent," "form," and "formed," are generally intended to allow for the addition of further components, unless the terms are used with the term "merely." Singular forms used herein are intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Although the terms “first”, “second”, A, B, (a), (b) and the like are used here to describe different elements, these elements should not be interpreted as being limited by these terms, since they are not used to define any particular order or priority. These terms are used merely to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first element could be called a second element and, correspondingly, a second element could be called a first element without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. When it is mentioned that a first element is "connected to or coupled to a second element," "touches it," "overlaps it," or the like, this should be interpreted to mean that the first element can not only be "directly connected to or coupled to the second element," "directly touch it," or "directly overlap it," but also that a third element can be "interposed" between the first and second elements, or that the first and second elements can be "connected or coupled" to each other, "touch" each other, "overlap" each other, or the like, via a fourth element. Here, the second element can be contained within at least one of two or more elements that are "connected or coupled to each other," "touch" each other, "overlap" each other, or the like. Where positional relationships are described, e.g., where the positional relationship between two parts is described using "at," "above," "below," "above," "below," "next to," "next to," or the like, one or more other parts may be positioned between the two parts unless a more restrictive term such as "immediately," "directly," or "near" is used. For example, where an element or layer is positioned "at" another element or layer, a third element or layer may be positioned between them. Furthermore, the expressions "left," "right," "above," "below," "downward," "upward," "upper," "lower," and the like refer to any frame of reference. Additionally, when dimensions, relative sizes, etc., are mentioned, it should be noted that numerical values for elements or characteristics, or corresponding information (e.g., level, range, and the like), include a tolerance or error range that may be caused by various factors (e.g., process factors, internal or external influences, noise, and the like), even if no relevant description is provided. Unless otherwise noted, such a tolerance or error range is plus or minus 5% of the stated value. Thus, for example, a dimension stated as 10 cm is interpreted as being within the range of 9.5 cm to 10.5 cm, unless the context requires otherwise. Furthermore, the term "could" fully encompasses all meanings of the term "may." Fig. 1 illustrates an example system configuration of a display device 100 according to aspects of the present disclosure. With reference to Fig. 1, in one or more exemplary embodiments, the display device 100 comprises a display panel 110 and at least one display control circuit as elements for displaying images. The at least one display control circuit can be one or more circuits for controlling the display panel 110. The at least one display control circuit comprises a data control circuit 120, a gate control circuit 130, a control unit 140, and other circuit components; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The display panel 110 contains a substrate 111 and several subpixels SP arranged on the substrate 111. Substrate 111 contains a display area DA and a non-display area NDA. The display area DA is an area that allows an image to be displayed, or is configured to display an image, and can also be referred to as an active area. Several subpixels SP for displaying images are arranged within the display area DA. The non-display area NDA is an area where no image is displayed and can be an area outside the display area DA. The non-display area NDA can also be a non-active area, a border area, or a border. The non-display area NDA contains a contact area. The non-display area (NDA) comprises a first non-display area, a second non-display area, a third non-display area, and a fourth non-display area. The first non-display area is located outside the display area (DA) in a row. The second non-display area is located outside the display area (DA) in a row and can be on the opposite side of the first non-display area. The third non-display area is located outside the display area (DA) in a column. The fourth non-display area is located outside the display area (DA) in a column and can be on the opposite side of the third non-display area. In other words, the four non-display areas can surround the display area (DA) with a non-display area on each side of the display area (DA). Among the first to fourth non-display areas, the fourth non-display area contains a contact area in which a control circuit is connected or contacted, and the first to third non-display areas can be very small. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. In one or more aspects, a boundary surface is defined between the display surface DA and the non-display surface NDA. In this example, the boundary surface is curved at a specific angle to the display surface DA, and therefore the non-display surface NDA is located below the display surface DA. In this implementation, when the user views the display device 100 from its front, all or most of the non-display area NDA is invisible to the user; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. In one or more aspects, the display device 100 is a self-emitting display device in which light is emitted from the display panel 110 itself; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. In one example, in which the display device 100 is the self-emitting display device, each of several subpixels SP contained in the display panel 110 includes a light-emitting element. The display device 100 according to aspects of the present disclosure is an organic light-emitting display device in which light-emitting elements are implemented using organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In another example, the display device 100 according to aspects of the present disclosure is an inorganic light-emitting display device in which light-emitting elements are implemented using light-emitting diodes based on inorganic material. In yet another example, the display device 100 according to aspects of the present disclosure is a quantum dot display device in which light-emitting elements are implemented using quantum dots that are self-emitting semiconductor crystals. In yet another example, the display device 100 according to aspects of the present disclosure is a micro-LED display device, a mini-LED display device, or the like. The structure of each of several subpixels SP contained in the display panel 110 can depend on the type of display device 100. In one example, where the display device 100 is a self-emitting display device containing self-emitting subpixels SP, each subpixel SP contains a self-emitting light-emitting element, one or more transistors, and one or more capacitors; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. Several types of signal lines for controlling multiple subpixels SP can be arranged on the substrate 111 of the display panel 110. These multiple types of signal lines include, for example, multiple data lines DL for transmitting data signals (which can be referred to as data voltages or image signals) to the multiple subpixels SP, multiple gate lines GL for transmitting gate signals (which can be referred to as sampling signals) to the multiple subpixels SP, and the like. The multiple data lines DL and the multiple gate lines GL can intersect in one or more aspects. Each of the multiple gate lines GL can run in a first direction (e.g., a row or a column direction). Each of the multiple data lines DL can run in a second direction (e.g., a column or a row direction) that differs from the first direction. The first direction can be the row direction and the second direction can be the column direction. In another example, the first direction can be the column direction and the second direction can be the row direction. Here, the row direction and the column direction can be relative directions, not absolute directions. Depending on the direction in which the display device 100 or the display panel 110 is viewed, the column direction can be the row direction and vice versa. For the sake of simplicity, discussions based on examples may be provided below, where each of several data lines DL is arranged in the column direction and each of several gate lines GL is arranged in the row direction; however, aspects of the present disclosure are limited thereto.Here, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can be vertical (or 90 degrees) or an angle other than vertical. For reference, Fig. 1 illustrates, based on the orientation of the display device 100 in Fig. 1, the "line direction" as a left / right direction and the "column direction" as an up / down direction. The data control circuit 120 is a circuit for controlling multiple data lines DL and can output the data signals to the multiple data lines DL. The data control circuit 120 can receive image data DATA in digital form from the control unit 140, convert the received image data DATA into data signals (or data voltages) in analog form and output the resulting data signals to the multiple data lines DL. The data control circuit 120 can be connected to the display panel 110 by an automatic tape assembly (TAB) technique, or to a conductive contact such as a connecting surface of the display panel 110 by a chip-on-glass (COG) or chip-on-panel (COP) technique, or to the display panel 110 by a chip-on-thin-film (COF) technique. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to these. In one or more aspects, the data control circuit 120 is located in only one side or edge (e.g., an upper section or a lower section) of the display panel 110 and / or is electrically connected to it, but is not limited to this. In one or more aspects, the data control circuit 120 is arranged in accordance with control schemes, panel design schemes, or the like in two sides or two edges (e.g., an upper section and a lower section) of the display panel 110 or at least two of four sides or edges (e.g., the upper section, the lower section, a left section, and a right section) of the display panel 110 and / or is electrically connected to it, but is not limited to this. The data control circuit 120 is connected to an area that is located outside the display area DA of the display board 110, or can be located in the display area DA of the display board 110. The gate drive circuit 130 is a circuit for driving multiple gate lines GL and can supply gate signals to the multiple gate lines GL. The gate drive circuit 130 can receive several types of gate drive control signals GCS and a first gate voltage corresponding to a turn-on voltage (or a turn-on level voltage) and a second gate voltage corresponding to a turn-off voltage (or a turn-off level voltage). This allows the gate drive circuit 130 to generate a gate signal containing a period with the first gate voltage and a period with the second gate voltage during a specific time period (e.g., a period of a frame time or a sub-period of a frame time) and to feed the generated gate signals to the multiple gate lines GL. The turn-on level voltage can be a high voltage, and the turn-off level voltage can be a low voltage. Alternatively, the turn-on level voltage can be a low voltage, and the turn-off level voltage can be a high voltage. In one or more aspects, the gate drive circuit 130, which is contained in the display device 100, is embedded in the display panel 110 by a gate-in-panel (GIP) technique; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. In one example where the gate drive circuit 130 is implemented by the gate-in-panel (GIP) technique, the gate drive circuit 130 is placed on the substrate 111 of the display panel 110 during the manufacturing process of the display panel 110 or the display device 100. Here, the gate drive circuit 130, which is embedded in the display panel 110 by the gate-in-panel (GIP) technique, can also be referred to as a "gate-in-panel circuit". The gate drive circuit 130 is located in the non-display area NDA of the display panel 110. In another example, the gate drive circuit 130 is located in the display area DA of the display panel 110. In one or more aspects, the gate drive circuit 130 is located in and / or electrically connected to a first area (e.g., a left section or a right section) in the display area DA of the display panel 110, but is not limited to this. In one or more aspects, the gate drive circuit 130 is located in and / or electrically connected to a first area (e.g., a left section or a right section) in the display area DA and a second area (e.g., the right section or the left section) in the display area DA, but is not limited to this.In one or more aspects, the gate control circuit 130 is arranged in all or one or more of the surfaces of the display surface DA. In an example where the gate drive circuit 130 is located in the display area DA of the display panel 110, the gate drive circuit 130 can vertically overlap with one or more subpixels SP located in the display area DA. The gate drive circuit 130 can vertically overlap with one or more light-emitting elements and one or more transistors contained in one or more subpixels SP located in the display area DA. The gate drive circuit 130 can vertically overlap with multiple light-emitting elements and multiple transistors contained in multiple subpixels SP located in the display area DA. The gate drive circuit 130 contains multiple transistors.Each of the multiple transistors contained in the gate drive circuit 130 contains an active layer comprising a first semiconductor material, and each of the multiple transistors contained in the subpixels SP contains an active layer comprising a second semiconductor material. The first and second semiconductor materials can be essentially the same. In another example, the first and second semiconductor materials can be different. The first semiconductor material can be a silicon-based semiconductor material (e.g., low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS)), and the second semiconductor material can be an oxide semiconductor material. The active layer can be a semiconductor layer, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The control unit 140 is a device for controlling the data control circuit 120 and the gate control circuit 130 and can control a control timing sequence for several data lines DL and a control timing sequence for several gate lines GL. The control unit 140 can supply a data control signal DCS to the data control circuit 120 in order to control the data control circuit 120, and supply a gate control signal GCS to the gate control circuit 130 in order to control the gate control circuit 130. The control unit 140 can be implemented in a component separate from the data control circuit 120 or integrated with the data control circuit 120, such that the control unit 140 and the data control circuit 120 can be implemented in a single integrated circuit. The control unit 140 can be a timing control unit used in typical display device technology, or a control device / equipment that can perform additional control functionalities beyond the typical function of the timing control unit. In one or more embodiments, the control unit 140 is one or more additional control circuits different from the timing control unit, or a circuit or component within the control device / equipment. The control unit 140 can be implemented using various circuits or electronic components, such as an integrated circuit (IC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a processor, and / or the like. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to these. The control unit 140 can be mounted on a printed circuit board, a flexible printed circuit or the like, and is electrically connected to the data control circuit 120 and the gate control circuit 130 via the printed circuit board, the flexible printed circuit and / or the like. The control unit 140 can send signals to and receive signals from the data control circuit 120 via one or more predefined interfaces. For example, such interfaces include a low-voltage differential signaling interface (LVDS interface), an embedded clock point-point (EPI) interface, a serial peripheral interface (SPI), and the like. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to these. In one or more aspects, the display device 100 can provide, in addition to an image display device function, a touch detection function for detecting the presence or absence of touch by an object such as a finger, a pen or the like, or a location of touch. In some aspects, the display device 100 is a mobile device such as a smartphone, tablet, or similar device, or a monitor, television (TV), or similar device. Such devices can be configured in various types, sizes, and shapes.The display device 100 according to aspects of the present disclosure is applied to mobile devices, video phones, smartwatches, watch phones, portable devices, foldable devices, rollable devices, flexible devices, stretchable devices, curved devices, sliding devices, variable devices, electronic notebooks, e-books, portable multimedia playback devices (PMPs), personal digital assistants (PDAs), MP3 playback devices, mobile medical devices, desktop PCs, laptop PCs, netbook computers, workstations, navigation devices, passenger car navigation devices, vehicle display devices, vehicle devices, theatre devices, theatre display devices, televisions, wallpaper devices, signage devices, gaming devices, notebook computers, monitors, cameras, camcorders, and household appliances and the like. In one or more aspects, the display device 100 may further include an electronic device such as a camera (or image sensor), a sensor capable of detecting an object, ambient light, etc., and the like. The sensor is a sensor capable of detecting an object or a human body by receiving light such as infrared light, ultrasonic light, ultraviolet light, or the like. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. Fig. 2 illustrates an exemplary configuration of the display board 110 according to aspects of the present disclosure. Referring to Fig. 2, in one or more exemplary embodiments the display panel 110 comprises a substrate 111 on which several subpixels SP are arranged, an encapsulation layer 200 over the substrate 111 and a color filter layer 210 on the encapsulation layer 200. The encapsulation layer 200 can be referred to as an encapsulation substrate or an encapsulation part. In the example where the display device 100 is a self-emitting display device, each of the multiple subpixels SP arranged on the substrate 111 contains a light-emitting element ED and a subpixel circuit SPC for controlling the light-emitting element ED. The subpixel circuit SPC contains several transistors and at least one capacitor for controlling the light-emitting element ED; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In one or more aspects, the subpixel circuit SPC can control the light-emitting element ED by supplying a control current to the light-emitting element ED in a predefined time sequence. The light-emitting element ED can emit light by being driven by the control current. The multiple transistors include a drive transistor DT for controlling the light-emitting element ED and a sampling transistor ST, which is configured to be switched on or off by a sampling signal SC. The driver transistor DT can supply a drive current to the light-emitting element ED. The sampling transistor ST is configured to control the electrical state of a corresponding node in the subpixel circuit SPC or to control the state or operation of the driver transistor DT. The at least one capacitor includes a storage capacitor Cst, which is configured to maintain a voltage at a constant level during a display device frame or a specific period of time within the display device frame. To control one or more subpixels SP, at least one data signal VDATA, which is an image signal, and at least one sampling signal SC, which is a gate signal, are applied to the one or more subpixels SP. Furthermore, to control one or more subpixels SP, common control signals, containing a drive voltage VDD and a base voltage VSS, are supplied to the one or more subpixels SP. The light-emitting element ED contains a pixel electrode PE, an intermediate layer EL, and a common electrode CE. The intermediate layer EL is positioned between the pixel electrode PE and the common electrode CE. The pixel electrode PE is an electrode arranged for each subpixel SP such that there is one pixel electrode PE for each subpixel SP, and the common electrode CE is an electrode arranged in all or some of several subpixels SP. The pixel electrode PE is an anode and the common electrode CE is a cathode. In another example, the pixel electrode PE is a cathode and the common electrode CE is an anode. For the sake of simplicity, the following description refers to embodiments in which the pixel electrode PE is an anode and the common electrode CE is a cathode. In an example where the light-emitting element ED is an organic light-emitting diode, the intermediate layer EL contains an emission layer EML, a first common intermediate layer COM1 between the pixel electrode PE and the emission layer EML, and a second common intermediate layer COM2 between the emission layer EML and the common electrode CE. A layer containing the first common intermediate layer COM1 and the second common intermediate layer COM2 can be referred to as a common intermediate layer EL_COM. The emission layer (EML) is arranged for each subpixel SP or is arranged jointly over all or some of several subpixels SP. The common intermediate layer (EL_COM) is arranged jointly over all or some of several subpixels SP, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The emission layer (EML) can be formed as a single layer or as multiple layers. Where the emission layer (EML) is multi-layered, the emission layers (EML) can have a tandem or stacked structure to increase the light output with an overall lower power consumption for the display device. The emission layer EML is arranged for each light-emitting surface or can be arranged jointly over all or some of several light-emitting surfaces. The common intermediate layer EL_COM is arranged jointly over all or some of several light-emitting surfaces and a non-light-emitting surface; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The first common intermediate layer COM1 contains a hole injection layer (HIL), an electron barrier layer (EBL), a hole transfer layer (HTL), and the like; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The second common intermediate layer COM2 contains an electron transfer layer (ETL), a hole barrier layer (HBL), an electron injection layer (EIL), and the like; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The hole injection layer can inject holes from the pixel electrode PE to the hole transport layer, and the hole transport layer can transport holes to the emission layer EML; the electron injection layer can inject electrons from the common electrode CE to the electron transport layer, and the electron transport layer can transport electrons to the emission layer EML. The common electrode CE is electrically connected to a common voltage line VSSL. A common voltage VSS is applied to the common electrode CE via the common voltage line VSSL. The pixel electrode PE is electrically connected directly or indirectly (via another transistor) to a first node N1 of the corresponding driver transistor DT of each subpixel SP. Here, the common voltage VSS can also be referred to as a first common voltage, a low-power supply voltage, or a low voltage, and the common voltage line VSSL can also be referred to as a first common voltage line, a low-power supply voltage line, or a low voltage line. Each light-emitting element (ED) is configured by stacking a pixel electrode (PE), an emissive layer (EML) within an intermediate layer (EL), and a common electrode (CE). A specific light-emitting surface is formed by each ED. For example, a specific light-emitting surface of each ED contains an area where a pixel electrode (PE), an emissive layer (EML) within an intermediate layer (EL), and a common electrode (CE) overlap. In one or more aspects, all or one or more of the light-emitting elements ED contained in the display panel 110 are an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an inorganic light-emitting diode (LED), a light-emitting quantum dot element, a micro-LED, or a mini-LED; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In the example where each light-emitting element ED is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), the corresponding intermediate layer EL of each light-emitting element ED is a layer containing an organic material. Referring to Fig. 2, the drive transistor DT is a transistor configured to supply a drive current to the light-emitting element ED. The drive transistor DT is connected between a drive voltage line VDDL and the light-emitting element ED. The driver transistor DT contains a first node Na, a second node Nb, and a third node Nc. The first node Na is electrically connected to the light-emitting element ED. A data signal VDATA is applied to the second node Nb. A drive voltage VDD, which is a type of common voltage transmitted via the drive voltage line VDDL, is applied to the third node Nc. Here, the drive voltage VDD can also be referred to as a second common voltage, a high-power supply voltage, or a high voltage, and the drive voltage line VDDL can also be referred to as a second common voltage line, a high-power supply voltage line, or a high voltage line. In the driver transistor DT, the second node Nb is a gate node, the first node Na is a source or drain node, and the third node Nc is a drain or source node. For the sake of simplicity, the following descriptions will use examples where the first, second, and third nodes (Na, Nb, and Nc) of the driver transistor DT are a source, gate, and drain node, respectively. However, aspects of this disclosure are not limited to this. The sampling transistor ST, which is included in the subpixel circuit SPC illustrated in Fig. 2, is a switching transistor for transmitting a data signal VDATA, which is an image signal, to the second node Nb, which is the gate node of the drive transistor DT. The sampling transistor ST can be switched on or off by a sampling signal SC, which is a type of gate signal transmitted via a sampling line SCL, which is a type of gate line GL, and which controls an electrical connection between the second node Nb of the driver transistor DT and a data line DL. One of the drain electrodes or the source electrode of the sampling transistor ST is electrically connected to the data line DL. The other of the source electrode or the drain electrode of the sampling transistor ST is electrically connected to the second node Nb of the driver transistor DT. The gate electrode of the sampling transistor ST is electrically connected to the sampling line SCL. The storage capacitor Cst can be electrically connected between the first node Na and the second node Nb of the driver transistor DT. The storage capacitor Cst comprises a first capacitor electrode that is electrically connected to, or corresponds to, the first node Na of the driver transistor DT, and a second capacitor electrode that is electrically connected to, or corresponds to, the second node Nb of the driver transistor DT. The storage capacitor Cst is an external capacitor intentionally designed to be located outside the drive transistor DT and is therefore distinct from an internal capacitor such as a parasitic capacitor (e.g., a Cgs, a Cgd) formed between the first node Na and the second node Nb of the drive transistor DT. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. Each of the drive transistor DT and the sampler transistor ST is either an n-type or a p-type transistor, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, one of the drive transistor DT and one of the sampler transistor ST is either an n-type or a p-type transistor. The display panel 110 can have a top-emitting or a bottom-emitting structure. In an example where the display panel 110 has the top-emitting structure, at least one section of the subpixel circuit SPC can overlap with at least one section of the light-emitting element ED in the vertical direction. In this configuration, the area or size of a corresponding light-emitting area can increase, and a corresponding aperture ratio can increase. In an example where the display panel 110 has the bottom-emitting structure, the subpixel circuit SPC does not have to overlap with the light-emitting element ED in the vertical direction. As shown in Fig. 2, the SPC subpixel circuit contains two transistors (2T: DT and ST) and one capacitor (1C: Cst) (which may be referred to as a “2T1C structure”) and may, in some implementations, further contain one or more transistors and / or further contain one or more capacitors. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The subpixel circuit SPC can have a 3T1C structure, containing 3 transistors and 1 capacitor. In another example, the subpixel circuit SPC can have an 8T1C structure, containing 8 transistors and 1 capacitor. In yet another example, the subpixel circuit SPC can have a 6T2C structure, containing 6 transistors and 2 capacitors. In yet another example, the subpixel circuit SPC can have a 7T1C structure, containing 7 transistors and 1 capacitor. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The types and number of gate signals supplied to a subpixel SP, and / or the types and number of gate lines connected to the subpixel SP, can vary depending on the structure of the corresponding subpixel circuit SPC. Furthermore, the types and number of common drive signals supplied to a subpixel SP can also vary depending on the structure of the corresponding subpixel circuit SPC. With reference to Fig. 2, the encapsulation layer 200 is arranged in or on the display panel 110, since circuit elements (e.g., light-emitting elements ED such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) containing an organic material) in each subpixel SP are susceptible to external moisture or oxygen. The encapsulation layer 200 can prevent external moisture or oxygen from penetrating the circuit elements (e.g., the light-emitting elements ED).

However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. Transistors arranged in the DA display area are used as follows. For example, all transistors contained in each subpixel SP are implemented as the first thin-film transistor TFT1. For example, all transistors contained in each subpixel SP are implemented as the second thin-film transistor TFT2. For example, one or more of the transistors contained in each subpixel SP can be implemented as the first thin-film transistor TFT1, and the one or more remaining transistors can be implemented as the second thin-film transistor TFT2.

For example, in each subpixel SP a drive transistor DT is implemented as the second thin-film transistor TFT2 and the one or more remaining transistors (e.g. a sampling transistor ST, an emission control transistor and / or the like) are implemented as the first thin-film transistor TFT1. In Fig. 3, the second thin-film transistor TFT2, which is connected to a pixel electrode PE of a light-emitting element ED, is, depending on the configuration of a corresponding subpixel circuit SPC, either a driver transistor DT or a transistor different from the driver transistor DT. For example, in Fig. 3, the second thin-film transistor TFT2, which is connected to the pixel electrode PE of the light-emitting element ED, is an emission control transistor connected between the driver transistor DT and the light-emitting element ED. In embodiments where the second thin-film transistor TFT2 is the driver transistor, the second thin-film transistor TFT2 is an oxide transistor and the first thin-film transistor TFT1 is an LPTS transistor, which allows more power to be supplied to the subpixels to increase the light output with an overall lower power consumption for the display device.The active layer ACT2 of the second thin-film transistor TFT2 is an LTPS transistor and is thinner than the active layer ACT1 of the first thin-film transistor TFT1.

In one or more aspects, the display panel 110 further comprises a black matrix 570, which has at least one first opening 570_H1 on the touch sensor layer 560. At least one of the first touch metal TM1 and the second touch metal TM2 overlaps with the black matrix 570, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In one or more aspects, the display panel 110 further comprises a first color filter CF1, which is arranged on the black matrix 570 and overlaps with the first aperture 570_H1. The display panel 110 also comprises a top layer 580, which is arranged on the first color filter CF1. Unless the context otherwise requires, the layer stack of the display panel 110, illustrated in Figures 5 to 8, represents the actual layers of the stack such that different layers are arranged sequentially and / or in direct contact with one another, as shown in the accompanying drawings, even if not explicitly described herein. In scoreboards, a situation can arise where light emitted by the light-emitting element reaches the encapsulation layer and is totally reflected back into the scoreboard. The reflected light may then be absorbed by the black bank or flow into the transistor section instead of exiting the scoreboard as intended. This is illustrated in Fig. 5 by dashed arrows 534, which represent light reflected back into the scoreboard through the encapsulation section instead of exiting it. As a result, the light extraction efficiency may be reduced. Unless otherwise noted, the term "light extraction" means light generated by a light-emitting element that is extracted, directed, or caused to exit the scoreboard.Thus, the term "light extraction efficiency" refers to the percentage or amount of light that exits the scoreboard in relation to the total amount of light produced by the light-emitting element. A light extraction efficiency of 90% therefore means that 90% of the total light emitted by the light-emitting element exits the scoreboard, while the remaining 10% is reflected back into the scoreboard and / or absorbed within it. The concepts of the disclosure address this problem by providing a structure of the display panel 110 that can increase such a light extraction efficiency by causing light that is absorbed by the black bank 530 or flows into the interior of the transistor part to be extracted outside the display panel 110 or to be otherwise enabled to escape from the display panel 110, as further described in the following embodiments. With reference to Fig. 6 and with further reference to Fig. 5, in one or more exemplary embodiments the display panel 110 further comprises a second planarization layer 600 containing a first hole H1, such that the second planarization layer 600 has an inner surface surrounding the first hole H1 and is a first inclined surface S1. For the sake of brevity, the discussion of features of the display panel 110 of Fig. 6 that are the same, substantially the same, or similar to the features described with reference to Fig. 5 is omitted. The first pixel electrode PE1 of the first light-emitting element ED1 is arranged on the first planarization layer 520 in the first hole H1 and extends along the first inclined surface S1 to an upper surface of the second planarization layer 600. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The non-black bank 540 is arranged on the first pixel electrode PE1 and the second planarization layer 600. The non-black bank 540 is a transparent bank, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to it. The non-black bank 540 contains a first trench TRC1 on one side, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to it. The first trench TRC1 provides the benefit of reducing a fault due to a leakage current. The non-black bank 540 may also contain the spacer 533 on its other side, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The first intermediate layer EL1 of the first light-emitting element ED1 is arranged on a section of the first pixel electrode PE1 and the non-black bank 540, and the common electrode CE1 is arranged on the first intermediate layer EL1. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In one or more aspects, the display panel 110 further comprises a common voltage line to which a common voltage is applied, and a first connection pattern CP1 for electrically connecting the common voltage line and the common electrode CE1. The first connection pattern CP1 is arranged on the second planarization layer 600 and comprises the same material as the first pixel electrode PE1, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The second planarization layer 600 is positioned on and in direct contact with the upper planarization layer 523 and / or the first planarization layer 520. The first light-emitting element ED1 is formed in the hole H1 in the second planarization layer 600. Furthermore, the display panel 110 of Fig. 6 can omit the black bank 530 (i.e., the first and second black banks 531, 532) and instead include the second planarization layer 600. In one embodiment, the display panel 110 of Fig. 6 does not include a black bank or any black banks. Accordingly, the trench TRC1 runs over a section of the second planarization layer 600 instead of over the first black bank 531. In some embodiments, the second planarization layer 600 can have a varying thickness above the second planarization layer 600.For example, the second planarization layer 600 contains a stepped configuration with a protrusion 601 that increases the thickness of the second planarization layer 600 in at least some faces of the second planarization layer 600 relative to other faces. The protrusion 601 is formed around the first hole H1 such that the second planarization layer 600 has a face of increased thickness around the first hole H1 relative to any other faces, areas, or sections of the second planarization layer 600. The protrusion 601 and the entire stepped configuration of the second planarization layer 600 at the location of the first hole H1 increase the length of the first inclined surface S1 to aid in the extraction of additional light, as described below. In the display panel 110 of Fig. 6, light emitted by the first light-emitting element ED1 is reflected at the first inclined surface S1 of the second planarization layer 600 and caused to exit the display panel 110, as indicated by the dashed arrow 535. This improves the light extraction efficiency of the display device 100. However, a situation can still occur in which the first light reaching the encapsulation layer 200 is totally reflected and then flows into the interior of the transistor part, as described above, and this situation can reduce the light extraction efficiency of the display panel 100. Thus, the display panel 110 of Fig. 6 is an improvement over previous solutions; however, the disclosure provides additional solutions to further improve the light extraction efficiency. With reference to Fig. 7 and with further reference to Figs. 5 and 6, in one or more exemplary embodiments, the display panel 110 includes the second planarization layer 600. The second planarization layer 600 includes the first hole H1, described above, which has an inner surface comprising a first inclined surface S1, and a second hole H3, which is distinct from the first hole H1. Repeated features of Fig. 7 in relation to the description above have been omitted for simplicity. The first pixel electrode PE1 of the first light-emitting element ED1 is arranged on the first planarization layer 520 in the first hole H1 and extends along the first inclined surface S1 to an upper surface of the second planarization layer 600. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. A black bank 530 is arranged in the second hole H3 and on the second planarization layer 600, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The black bank 530 contains a first black bank 531 and a second black bank 532, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In the display panel 110 of Fig. 7, the second planarization layer 600 contains the second hole H3, instead of the first planarization layer 520 containing the second hole H2. The second hole H3 of Fig. 7 is otherwise similar to the second hole H2 and is not described further. The first black bank 531 is located in the second hole H2 and is otherwise similar to the first black bank 531 described above. The second black bank 532 is located on the second planarization layer 600 and contains a hole 532_H, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to it. The non-black bank 540 is arranged on the first black bank 531, the second black bank 532, and the first pixel electrode PE1; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The non-black bank 540 may be a transparent bank; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The non-black bank 540 contains a first groove TRC1, which overlaps with the second hole H3 and corresponds to the groove of the first black bank 531. The first groove TRC1 provides the advantage of reducing faults due to leakage current. A spacer 533 is arranged on the non-black bank 540. The spacer 533 overlaps with the second black bank 532, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The first intermediate layer EL1 of the first light-emitting element ED1 is arranged on a section of the first pixel electrode PE1 and the non-black bank 540, and the common electrode CE1 is arranged on the first intermediate layer EL1. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. As described above with reference to Fig. 6, light emitted by the first light-emitting element ED1 can be reflected at the first inclined surface S1 and caused to exit the display panel 110, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency. However, the display panel 110 of Fig. 7 includes the black bank 530 such that, instead of light entering the transistor section as described in Fig. 6, light reaching and being reflected by the encapsulation layer 200 is absorbed by the black bank 530, thus preventing optimization of the light extraction efficiency. Furthermore, the viewing angle characteristic may be reduced due to external light entering the display panel 110. Accordingly, Fig. 7 also provides a solution for improving the light extraction efficiency in an embodiment of the display panel 110 that includes the black bank 530. The present disclosure further provides embodiments of the display panel 110 wherein light absorbed by the black bank 530 or reaching the interior of the transistor section can be extracted outside the display panel 110, thereby increasing the light extraction efficiency of the display panel 110 and implementing an improved viewing angle characteristic. In other words, the following embodiments further optimize the light extraction efficiency while also improving viewing angle characteristics beyond the solutions described with reference to Figures 6 and 7. With reference to Fig. 8 and further reference to Figs. 5-7, in one or more exemplary embodiments, the second planarization layer 600 of the display panel 110 includes the first hole H1, which has an inner surface comprising a first inclined surface S1 and a second inclined surface S2, and the second hole H3, which is different from the first hole H1. Repeated features of Fig. 8 in relation to the description above have been omitted for the sake of simplicity. The second planarization layer 600 of Fig. 8 has a different structure and arrangement than the other planarization layers described here. The second planarization layer 600 includes the projection 601, which increases the thickness of a section of the second planarization layer 600 in a stepped configuration. However, the projection 601 is spaced from the first hole H1, instead of being located at the first hole H1 as described elsewhere. Thus, while the projection 601 still surrounds the first hole H1, it defines a first projection 602 and a second projection 603. The first projection 602 is a flat, planar surface of the second planarization layer 600 located between the projection 601 and the first hole H1. The second projection 603 corresponds to a top surface of the projection 601.Such an arrangement generates the first and second inclined surfaces S1, S2 of the second planarization layer 600, which define the first hole H1. The sidewalls of the second planarization layer 600 forming the first hole H1 therefore have a two-stage configuration, and the width of the first hole H1 varies across its length. Specifically, as a result of the projection 601 being spaced or offset from an interface between the first hole H1 and the second planarization layer 600 at the first light-emitting element ED1, a lower or bottom portion of the first hole H1 adjacent to the first light-emitting element ED1 has a width that is smaller than the width of the first hole H1 across the first projection 602.In other words, in one embodiment, the projection 601 has a trapezoidal cross-section that is offset from an edge of the second planarization layer 600, with a large part or principal portion of the first hole H1 passing through the second planarization layer 600 to create the two-stage configuration shown in Fig. 8. The benefits of the first and second inclined surfaces S1, S2 are further described below. The first pixel electrode PE1 of the first light-emitting element ED1 is arranged on the first planarization layer 520 in the first hole H1 and extends along the first inclined surface S1 and the second inclined surface S2 to an upper surface 600-U of the second planarization layer 600. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. A first angle θ1 is formed by the first inclined surface S1 and a rear, bottom, or back surface 600-B of the second planarization layer 600, but aspects of this disclosure are not limited thereto. Furthermore, a second angle θ2 is formed by the second inclined surface S2 and the rear, bottom, or back surface 600-B of the second planarization layer 600, but aspects of this disclosure are not limited thereto. The first angle θ1 is preferably smaller than the second angle θ2 to provide the benefits described herein, but aspects of this disclosure are not limited thereto. In general, the angles θ1 and θ2 can be chosen to be equal or different from each other, such as the first angle θ1 being larger than the second angle θ2. A black bank 530 is located in the second hole H3 and on the second planarization layer 600, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The black bank 530 includes, but is not limited to, a first black bank 531, a second black bank 532, and a third black bank 800. The first black bank 531 is located in the second hole H3 and has the groove that extends downwards from the upper surface of the first black bank 531, as described elsewhere. The second black bank 532 is arranged on the second planarization layer 600 and contains a hole 532_H corresponding to the first connection pattern CP1, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The third black bank 800 is located between the first inclined surface S1 and the second inclined surface S2, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. Specifically, the third black bank 800 is located on the first projection 602 between the projection 601 and the first light-emitting element ED1, which is located in the first hole H1.Accordingly, the first projection 602 and the arrangement of the projection 601 also provide a flat support surface and / or a space for forming the third black bank 800, which provides the benefits described here. A non-black bank 540 may be located on the first black bank 531, the second black bank 532, the third black bank 800, and the first pixel electrode PE1; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to these. The non-black bank 540 may be a transparent bank; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The non-black bank 540 contains a first trench TRC1 that overlaps with the second hole H3 and corresponds to the groove that is recessed from the upper surface of the first black bank 531; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The first trench TRC1 provides the advantage of reducing a fault due to leakage current. A spacer 533 is arranged on the non-black bank 540. The spacer 533 overlaps with the second black bank 532, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The first intermediate layer EL1 of the first light-emitting element ED1 is arranged on a section of the first pixel electrode PE1 and the non-black bank 540, and the common electrode CE1 is arranged on the first intermediate layer EL1. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In the configuration of the display panel 110 according to Fig. 8, light emitted by the first light-emitting element ED1 is reflected at the first inclined surface S1 and caused to exit the display panel 110, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display panel 110, similar to the display panels 110 of Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 described above and as shown by arrow 535 in Fig. 8. Light emitted by the first light-emitting element ED1 can be totally reflected by a common electrode CE1, and specifically by the rear surface of the common electrode CE1. In such a situation, the light can be reflected at the first and / or the second inclined surface S1, S2 and caused to exit the display panel 110, as indicated by arrow 536. This can improve the light extraction efficiency of the display panel 110. Additionally, external light entering the display panel 110 can be absorbed by the third black bank 800. Alternatively, in a situation where external light entering the display panel 110 is reflected by the third black bank 800, the light can be absorbed by a black matrix 570. The absorption and / or reflection of light by the third black bank 800 is schematically represented by arrow 537 in Fig. 8. This can improve the reflection sensitivity and increase the viewing angle of the display panel 110.Accordingly, the offset of the projection 601 of the second planarization layer 600 from the first hole H1 forms the first projection 602, which enables the formation of an additional black bank, and two inclined surfaces to provide significant improvements in light extraction efficiency, reflection sensitivity and viewing angle characteristics. Fig. 9 is an example cross-sectional view of the display panel 110, taken along line AC of Fig. 4, according to aspects of the present disclosure. The concepts shown in Fig. 9 are discussed with continued reference to Figs. 5, 6, 7 to 8, and a repeated description is omitted. With reference to Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, in one or more exemplary embodiments the display panel 110 comprises a substrate 111, a planarization layer, a portion of light-emitting elements and an encapsulation part, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. Substrate 111 is in the form of a single-layer or a multi-layer stack. In an example where substrate 111 contains a multi-layer stack, it comprises a first substrate 500, an intermediate substrate layer 501, and a second substrate 502. The intermediate substrate layer 501 can be located between the first substrate 500 and the second substrate 502. The planarization layer contains a first planarization layer 520 and a second planarization layer 600. The first planarization layer 520 contains, but is not limited to, a lower planarization layer 521, an intermediate planarization layer 522, and an upper planarization layer 523. The second planarization layer 600 can be similar to any of the second planarization layers 600 described here. In one or more aspects, insulating layers contained in the transistor part are arranged between the substrate 111 and the first planarization layer 520, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The portion of light-emitting elements comprises a first light-emitting element ED1, a second light-emitting element ED2, and a third light-emitting element ED3, arranged on the first planarization layer 520. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. At least one of the first light-emitting element ED1, the second light-emitting element ED2, and the third light-emitting element ED3 can emit light of a color different from that of the one or more remaining light-emitting elements; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The first light-emitting element ED1 comprises a first pixel electrode PE1, a first intermediate layer EL1, and a common electrode CE1. A light-emitting surface of the first light-emitting element ED1 is formed by a surface in which the first pixel electrode PE1, the first intermediate layer EL1, and the common electrode CE1 overlap and touch each other; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The second light-emitting element ED2 comprises a second pixel electrode PE2, a second intermediate layer EL2, and a common electrode CE2. A light-emitting surface of the second light-emitting element ED2 is formed by a surface in which the second pixel electrode PE2, the second intermediate layer EL2, and the common electrode CE2 overlap and touch each other; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The third light-emitting element ED3 comprises a third pixel electrode PE3, a third intermediate layer EL3, and a common electrode CE3. A light-emitting surface of the third light-emitting element ED3 is formed by a surface in which the third pixel electrode PE3, the third intermediate layer EL3, and the common electrode CE3 overlap and touch each other; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The first light-emitting element ED1 can emit a first light, but is not limited to this. The second light-emitting element ED2 can emit a second light that is different from the first light, but is not limited to this. The third light-emitting element ED2 can emit a third light that is different from the first and second lights, but is not limited to this. A first connecting electrode RE1 is arranged on the lower planarization layer 521. Although not shown in Fig. 9, in Figs. 5, 6, 7 to 8, the first connecting electrode RE1 electrically connects a first source electrode E1a of a first thin-film transistor TFT1 of the transistor part and the first pixel electrode PE1 of the first light-emitting element ED1; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The first pixel electrode PE1 can be electrically connected to the first connecting electrode RE1 through a hole in the intermediate planarization layer 522 and the upper planarization layer 523; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. A second connecting electrode RE2 is arranged on the lower planarization layer 521. Although not shown in Fig. 9, the second connecting electrode RE2 electrically connects a source electrode of a thin-film transistor of the transistor part and the second pixel electrode PE2 of the second light-emitting element ED2; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The second pixel electrode PE2 is electrically connected to the second connecting electrode RE2 by holes in the intermediate planarization layer 522 and the upper planarization layer 523; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. A third connecting electrode RE3 is arranged on the lower planarization layer 521. Although not shown in Fig. 9, the third connecting electrode RE3 electrically connects a source electrode of a thin-film transistor of the transistor part and the third pixel electrode PE3 of the third light-emitting element ED3; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The third pixel electrode PE3 is electrically connected to the third connecting electrode RE3 by holes in the intermediate planarization layer 522 and the upper planarization layer 523; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. A black bank 530 is arranged on the second planarization layer 600, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to it. The black bank 530 contains a first black bank 531, a second black bank 532, and a third black bank 800, but is not limited to it. The encapsulation component is located on the light-emitting element component and is situated on the common electrode (CE1, CE2, and CE3). The encapsulation component contains an encapsulation layer 200, which is also located on the common electrode (CE1, CE2, and CE3). The encapsulation layer 200 prevents moisture or oxygen from penetrating the first light-emitting element ED1, the second light-emitting element ED2, and the third light-emitting element ED3. The encapsulation layer 200 also prevents moisture or oxygen from penetrating any organic substance contained within the first intermediate layer EL1, the second intermediate layer EL2, and the third intermediate layer EL3 of the first light-emitting element ED1, the second light-emitting element ED2, and the third light-emitting element ED3.The encapsulation layer 200 can be in the form of a single layer or can contain several layers, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In one or more aspects, a touch sensor layer 560 is arranged on the encapsulation layer 200 and contains a touch sensor. The touch sensor layer 560 contains several touch electrodes that serve as the touch sensor and includes at least one touch metal layer for forming the multiple touch electrodes. For example, to form the multiple touch electrodes, the touch sensor layer 560 includes a first touch metal layer 561 in which at least one first touch metal TM1 is arranged, and a second touch metal layer 564 in which at least one second touch metal TM2 is arranged. In this implementation, the touch sensor layer 560 may further include a touch buffer layer 562 and a touch intermediate insulating layer 563 arranged between the first touch metal layer 561 and the second touch metal layer 564, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In one or more aspects, a black matrix 570, having a first opening 570_H1, a second opening 570_H2, and a third opening 570_H3, is arranged on the touch sensor layer 560. At least one of the first touch metal TM1 and the second touch metal TM2 may overlap with the black matrix 570, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. In one or more aspects, color filters, comprising a first color filter CF1 overlapping the first aperture 570_H1, a second color filter CF2 overlapping the second aperture 570_H2, and a third color filter CF3 overlapping the third aperture 570_H3, are arranged on the black matrix 570, and a cover layer 580 is arranged on the color filters. The display panel 110 of Fig. 9 similarly includes the projection 601 of the second planarization layer 600, which is spaced from the edge of the second planarization layer 600 at the interface with the first hole H1, thus forming the first and second inclined surfaces S1, S2 shown in Fig. 8. Referring to Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, first light emitted by the first light-emitting element ED1 can be reflected at the first inclined surface S1 and caused to exit the display panel 110, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display panel 110. Referring to Fig. 9, for example, external light entering the display panel 110 can be absorbed by the third black bank 800. In another example, if external light entering the display panel 110 is reflected by the third black bank 800, the light can be absorbed by the black matrix 570. This improves the reflection sensitivity and allows the viewing angle characteristic to be implemented. Referring to Fig. 9, in a situation where third light emitted by the third light-emitting element ED3 is totally reflected by a rear surface of the common electrode CE3, the third light can be reflected at the first and / or the second inclined surfaces S1, S2 and caused to exit the display panel 110, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the display panel 110. Fig. 10 is a top view of an exemplary light-emitting surface of the display panel 110 according to aspects of the present disclosure. Referring to Fig. 10, when a subpixel of the display panel is viewed from a top view, the third black bank 800 is arranged in a shape that surrounds at least one subpixel having multiple light-emitting surfaces. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The third black bank 800 is located within the first hole H1 on the first projection 602, which is shown in Fig. 8 and is arranged in the second planarization layer 600, and is arranged in a shape that surrounds an inner surface of the first hole H1. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In another example, the third black bank 800 is located between the first inclined surface S1 and the second inclined surface S2 of Fig. 8, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, at least two light-emitting surfaces and one non-light-emitting surface NEA are arranged inside the third black bank 800, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The at least two light-emitting surfaces arranged inside the third black bank 800 correspond to a main light-emitting surface MEA and a surface corresponding to the first inclined surface S1, which serves as a light-reflecting surface, respectively, but aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In other words, one of the light-emitting surfaces is the main light-emitting surface MEA, which corresponds to the light-emitting element, and a second of the light-emitting surfaces, among other possible ones, is a light-reflecting surface corresponding to light reflected from the first inclined surface S1.The light reflected from the first inclined surface S1 is designed as a supplementary emitting surface SEA, with the supplementary surface inside the third black bank 800 being designated as SEA-I. The main light-emitting area MEA and the non-light-emitting area NEA overlap with at least one of the first aperture 570_H1, the second aperture 570_H2 and the third aperture 570_H3 of the black matrix 570 of Fig. 9, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The main light-emitting area MEA can represent an area in which the first pixel electrode PE1, the first intermediate layer EL1, and the common electrode CE1 of the first light-emitting element ED1 overlap in the first hole H1 of Fig. 8; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The light-emitting area corresponding to the first inclined surface S1 can be formed by an area in which first light emitted by the first light-emitting element ED1 is reflected at the first inclined surface S1 of Fig. 8 and then caused to exit the display panel 110; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The one non-light-emitting area NEA contains a section of an area in which the first pixel electrode PE1 overlaps with the first planarization layer 520 except for the main light-emitting area MEA in the first hole H1 of Fig. 8, however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, at least one light-reflecting surface can be formed outside the third black bank 800. The at least one light-reflecting surface arranged outside the third black bank 800 can correspond to the second inclined surface S2 (i.e., light reflected from the second inclined surface S2) and be arranged in a shape surrounding the third black bank 800; however, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. In another example, a light-emitting surface can be formed by a surface in which, while first light emitted by the first light-emitting element ED1 of Fig. 8 is totally internally reflected by the common electrode CE1, the first light is reflected from the rear surface of the common electrode CE1, and the reflected first light is again reflected at the second inclined surface S2 and caused to exit the display panel 110.However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The light reflected from the second inclined surface S2 is generally shown to be an outer complementary emitting surface SEA-O outside the third black bank 800. A first side surface of the third black bank 800 is arranged such that it is spaced apart from the first black bank 531 by a first distance, and a second opposite side surface of the third black bank 800 is arranged such that it is spaced apart from the second black bank 532 by a second distance. However, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. A third light-reflecting surface is formed in respective areas located between the third black bank 800 and each of the first black bank 531 and the second black bank 532, spaced apart by the first distance and the second distance, respectively.Fig. 11 is a top view of an embodiment of several light-emitting surfaces of the display panel 110. The display panel 110 comprises a primary light-emitting surface 101 and a secondary light-emitting surface 103. The primary light-emitting surface 101 corresponds to light emitted through the hole 570_H1 by the first light-emitting element ED1. The secondary light-emitting surface 103 corresponds to light that is not absorbed by the black matrix 570, but rather passes through the black matrix 570, the first color filter CF1, and the top layer 580. In other words, the black matrix 570 does not need to completely absorb the light emitted by the first light-emitting element ED1, and at least a portion of the light emitted by the first light-emitting element ED1 will pass through the black matrix 570 to form a secondary light-emitting surface 103.The primary light-emitting surface 101 is larger than the secondary light-emitting surface 103. In some embodiments, the light emitted by the secondary light-emitting surface 103 is similar to the light emitted by the primary light-emitting surface 101. For example, the color of the light emitted by the secondary light-emitting surface 103 is the same as the color of the light emitted by the primary light-emitting surface 101. A color coordinate of visible light emitted by the primary light-emitting surface 101 may be the same or different from a color coordinate of the light emitted by the secondary light-emitting surface 103. Furthermore, due to the difference in size between the emitting surfaces 101 and 103, the amount of light emitted by each surface may differ. As shown in Fig. 11, the main light-emitting surface 101 is located centrally with respect to the secondary light-emitting surface 103 in the top view of the display panel 110. The secondary light-emitting surface 103 is concentric with respect to the main light-emitting surface 101. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the light-emitting surfaces 101 and 103 have a circular shape, but they can also be any other chosen shape, including, without limitation, rectangles and other shapes. The secondary light-emitting surface 103 is spaced apart from the main light-emitting surface 101 by an intermediate surface 105. The intermediate surface 105 can be a light-emitting surface or a non-light-emitting surface in various embodiments. For example, in the embodiments described above with respect to Fig. 10, the intermediate surface 105 is the non-emitting surface NEA. However, for the embodiments described above with respect to Fig.As described in section 5, the intermediate surface 105 is another light-emitting surface, such that the display panel 110 contains at least three light-emitting surfaces 101, 103, and 105. The intermediate surface 105 is concentric with the main light-emitting surface 101 and the secondary light-emitting surface 103 and is positioned between the main and secondary light-emitting surfaces 101 and 103. Thus, the main light-emitting surface 101, the intermediate surface 105, and the secondary light-emitting surface 103 are arranged sequentially and adjacent to each other. As shown in Fig. 11, the intermediate surface 105 separates the light-emitting main surface 101 from the light-emitting secondary surface 103. A width W1 of the intermediate surface 105 is preferably larger than a width W2 of the light-emitting secondary surface 103; however, this is not required, and the widths W1 and W2 can be equal, or the width W1 can be smaller than the width W2. The intermediate surface 105 extends from an outer boundary of the light-emitting main surface 101 to an inner boundary of the light-emitting secondary surface 103, corresponding to the width W1 shown in Fig. 11. The width W2 corresponds to the distance between an outer boundary of the light-emitting secondary surface 103 and the inner boundary of the light-emitting secondary surface 103. In embodiments where the width W1 is greater than the width W2, the width W1 can be greater than the width W2 by a factor ranging from 1% to 500% or more, including intermediate values.Thus, in some non-restrictive examples, the width W1 can be 7% or 127% of the width W2. In embodiments where the intermediate surface 105 emits light, the intermediate surface 105 can emit light with the same or different properties as the light-emitting primary and secondary surfaces 101, 103. For example, the color of light emitted by the intermediate surface 105 can be the same as that emitted by the primary and secondary surfaces 101, 103, but the light emitted by the intermediate surface 105 can have a different intensity or transmission, meaning that less light is emitted by the intermediate surface than by the primary and / or secondary surfaces 101, 103.The light emitted in the intermediate surface 105 originates from the first light-emitting element ED1, similar to the light-emitting main and secondary surfaces 101, 103, but has a different emission angle than the light emitted in the light-emitting main and secondary surfaces 101, 103, in order to provide the light emitted in the intermediate surface 105 with different properties.
