[0047] The subject matter of the present disclosure may be modified in various alternative forms, therefore, example embodiments will be illustrated in the drawings and described in more detail. However, it should be understood that it is not intended to limit the present disclosure to the specific forms disclosed, but on the contrary, it is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents and substitutes falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0048] In the present disclosure, when an element (or region, layer, portion, etc.) is referred to as being "on," "connected to," or "coupled to" another element, it means that the element may be directly on / connected to / coupled to the other element, or a third element may be between them. In addition, it will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "between" two elements or layers, the element or layer may be the only element or layer between the two elements or layers, or one or more intervening elements or layers may also be present.

[0049] Meanwhile, in the present specification, “directly on” means that there is no layer, film, region, plate, etc. added between a portion and other portions of the layer, film, region, plate, etc. For example, “directly on” may mean that a layer is on another layer or a member is on another member without an additional member such as an adhesive member between two layers or two members.

[0050] The same reference numerals indicate the same elements. In addition, in the drawings, the thickness, ratio and size of elements may be exaggerated for clarity of description of technical contents.

[0051] The term "and / or" includes all combinations that can be defined by one or more associated constructions.

[0052] It will be understood that although the terms "first", "second", etc. can be used to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. For example, without departing from the scope of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the first element can be named as the second element, and similarly, the second element can be named as the first element. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular term can include the plural form.

[0053] In addition, terms such as "below", "lower", "above", "upper", etc. are used to describe the relationship of the configurations shown in the drawings. The terms are used as relative concepts and are described with reference to the directions indicated in the drawings.

[0054] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. It will also be understood that terms defined in common dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless explicitly defined as such herein.

[0055] It should be understood that the terms “including” or “having” are intended to illustrate the presence of the features, integers, actions, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof stated in the disclosure, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, actions, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0056] Hereinafter, a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of an electronic device ED. In an embodiment, the electronic device ED may be a large electronic device such as a television, a monitor, or an external advertising board, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In addition, the electronic device ED may be a small or medium-sized electronic device such as a personal computer, a notebook computer, a personal digital terminal, a vehicle navigation system unit, a game console, a smart phone, a tablet computer, or a camera, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. It should be understood that these are merely exemplary embodiments, and the electronic device ED may be implemented as other electronic devices without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0058] The electronic device ED may include a display device DS and a housing HAU. The display device DS may display an image IM through a display surface IS. Figure 1 , the display surface IS is shown to be parallel (e.g., substantially parallel) to a surface defined by the first direction axis DR1 and the second direction axis DR2, and the second direction axis DR2 intersects the first direction axis DR1. However, this is merely exemplary. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the display surface IS of the display device DS may have a curved shape.

[0059] The normal direction of the display surface IS (for example, the direction of the thickness direction of the display device DS on which the image IM is displayed) is indicated by the third directional axis DR3. In addition, the direction opposite to the third directional axis DR3 in the thickness direction of the display device DS is indicated by the fourth directional axis DR4. The front surface (or upper surface) and the rear surface (or lower surface) of each component can be defined by the third directional axis DR3. The present disclosure is not limited to the foregoing, however, since the directions indicated by the first directional axis DR1, the second directional axis DR2, the third directional axis DR3, and the fourth directional axis DR4 are relative concepts, they can be converted into other directions.

[0060] The housing HAU may accommodate the display device DS and cover the display device DS so that the upper surface of the display device DS as the display surface IS is exposed. The housing HAU covers the side surface and the bottom surface of the display device DS and may expose the entire (e.g., substantially the entire) upper surface of the display device DS. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The housing HAU may cover not only the side surface and the bottom surface of the display device DS but also a portion of the upper surface of the display device DS.

However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The arrangement intervals of the first reflective regions RA-R may be adjusted in consideration of the reflective color sense required by the display device DS.

In some embodiments, two first light emitting regions PXA-R and one first reflective region RA-R may be arranged in this order. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0107] Quantum dots may be particles configured to convert the wavelength of light provided from the display panel DP. Quantum dots are materials having a crystal structure of a few nanometers in size and are composed of hundreds to thousands of atoms. Due to the small size of quantum dots, quantum dots exhibit a quantum confinement effect in which the energy band gap is increased. When light of a wavelength having an energy higher than the band gap is incident on the quantum dots, the quantum dots are excited by absorbing the light and fall to the ground state by emitting light of a set or specific wavelength. The wavelength of the emitted light has a value corresponding to the band gap. When the size and composition of the quantum dots are adjusted, the luminescent properties due to the quantum confinement effect can be adjusted. The color of the emitted light can be changed according to the particle size of the quantum dots. The smaller the particle size of the quantum dots, the shorter the wavelength region of light that can be emitted. For example, the particle size of quantum dots configured to emit green light may be smaller than the particle size of quantum dots configured to emit red light.

Figure 6 Unlike the display device DS of the embodiment shown in , the comparative example is an evaluation result for the case in which the sub opening portion OH-S is not defined in the light blocking layer BML.

[0146] Reference Figure 7 In the graph of FIG. 1 , in the wavelength region near 450 nm and the wavelength region near 650 nm, the example shows a reflectivity higher than that of the comparative example. Figure 7As a result, the example shows increased reflectivity in the blue light emitting region near 450 nm and in the red light emitting region near 650 nm, so that it can be seen that the yellowish reflective color sense has been adjusted compared to the display device of the comparative example.

[0147] Table 1 shows the results of comparing the display qualities of the display devices of the example and the comparative example.

[0148] Table 1

[0149]

[0150] In Table 1, when the display area DA (see FIG. 1 ) including the light emitting areas PXA-R, PXA-G, and PXA-B and the non-light emitting area NPXA Figure 2 ) is 100%, the area ratio of the light emitting area represents the area ratio of each of the light emitting areas. In addition, the area ratio of the non-light emitting area represents the ratio of the area of ​​the filters CF1 and CF3 exposed in the non-light emitting area NPXA. For example, when the display area DA (see FIG. 1 ) including the light emitting areas PXA-R, PXA-G, and PXA-B and the non-light emitting area NPXA Figure 2 ) is 100%, the area ratio of the non-luminescent area represents the area ratio of each of the reflective areas RA-R and RA-B which are areas exposed by the quilt opening portion OH-S of the filter.

[0151] In the case of the example, the reflectivity of the example is slightly increased compared to the reflectivity of the comparative example. When compared with the comparative example, in the display device DS of the embodiment, the area of ​​the first reflection area RA-R and the area of ​​the second reflection area RA-B are increased, so that the SCE color coordinates (X, Y) indicating the reflection color sense are changed from (0.305, 0.381) to (0.295, 0.313). Therefore, it can be confirmed that the reflected light with a yellowish color sense is changed to a reflected light with a neutral color sense.

[0152] For example, in the display device of the embodiment, due to the sub-opening portion defined in the light blocking layer corresponding to the non-luminous area, part of the color filter is exposed in the non-luminous area, so that there can be an effect of improving the reflection color sense caused by external light by the light reflected from the exposed color filter. In addition, without changing the driving method of the organic electroluminescent device in the display panel, the display quality of the display device can be improved by adjusting the area of ​​the exposed color filter.
