AI Technical Summary
Existing display devices struggle to simultaneously achieve a wide color gamut and excellent extraction efficiency. The blue, green, and red light passing through the color filter contains intermediate wavelengths, resulting in insufficient color reproducibility and reduced brightness.
By setting a specific pulse function, the overlap area between the spectral curve emitted from the color conversion layer and the transmission spectral curve of the color filter is controlled, thereby optimizing the combination of the color conversion layer and the color filter. This includes using quantum dots that emit red light and color filters with specific structures to satisfy conditions (I) and (II).
It achieves both a wide color gamut and excellent extraction efficiency in display devices, improving the color reproduction and brightness of the display devices.

[0047] <Display Device>
[0048] The display device includes a light source (A), a color conversion layer (B), and a color filter (C). The display device is a device that causes quantum dots (Br) that emit red light (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as quantum dots (Br)) to emit light when light is emitted from the color conversion layer (B) when light is emitted from the light source (A), and the light is extracted by the color filter (C).
[0049] "Emitting blue light" means emitting all light that is considered blue (all light with intensity in the blue wavelength region, such as 380nm to 495nm), and is not limited to emitting a single wavelength. "Emitting green light" means emitting all light that is considered green (all light with intensity in the green wavelength region, such as 495nm to 585nm), and is not limited to emitting a single wavelength. "Emitting red light" means emitting all light that is considered red (all light with intensity in the red wavelength region, such as 585nm to 780nm), and is not limited to emitting a single wavelength.
[0050] The display device may also include layers such as a light guide plate, a reflective film, a diffusion film, a brightness enhancement section, a prism sheet, and a dielectric material layer between elements, as described later.
[0051] Display devices can achieve both a wide color gamut and excellent extraction efficiency while simultaneously satisfying conditions (I) and (II). Previously proposed display devices, which incorporate a light source, a color conversion layer, and a color filter, have generally struggled to achieve both a wide color gamut and excellent extraction efficiency. This is attributed to the fact that blue, green, and red light obtained through the color filter can contain intermediate wavelengths, thus failing to fully realize color reproducibility. Furthermore, excluding these intermediate wavelengths reduces brightness, resulting in insufficient extraction efficiency. Research has shown that by setting a specific pulse function, the smaller the proportion of the spectral curve of light emitted from the color conversion layer that exceeds this pulse function, and the higher the proportion of the spectral curve of transmitted light from the color filter that covers the pulse function region, the easier it is to exclude intermediate wavelengths and simultaneously achieve high brightness.

[0126] From the viewpoint of obtaining sufficient luminescence intensity, cadmium compounds are preferably CdS, CdSe, ZnCdS, CdSeS, CdSeTe, CdSTe, CdZnS, CdZnSe, CdZnTe, ZnCdSSe, CdZnSeS, CdZnSeTe, and CdZnSTe, more preferably CdS, CdSe, ZnCdS, CdSeS, CdZnS, CdZnSe, ZnCdSSe, and CdZnSeS, even more preferably CdS, CdSe, ZnCdS, ZnCdSSe, and CdZnSeS, and particularly preferably CdSe and CdZnSeS.
[0127] From the viewpoint of luminescence intensity and durability, particles of indium compounds and cadmium compounds can have an inorganic protective layer on their surface. This inorganic protective layer can be two or more layers, or it can be a single layer. Examples of inorganic materials suitable for forming the inorganic protective layer include, but are not limited to, semiconductors with band gaps larger than those of indium and / or cadmium compounds. The inorganic protective layer can be formed, for example, from known inorganic materials such as ZnS.
[0128] Quantum dots (Br) can be synthesized through wet chemical processes, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Wet chemical processes involve adding precursors to an organic solvent to promote particle growth. During crystal growth, the organic solvent naturally settles on the surface of the quantum dot crystal, acting as a dispersant to regulate crystal growth. Therefore, compared to vapor-phase deposition methods such as MOCVD and MBE, it is easier to control the growth of nanoparticles using a cheaper process.
[0129] [Green fluorescent particles]
[0130] In addition to quantum dots (Br), the color conversion layer (B) may further contain green fluorescent particles (Bg) that emit green light. When the color conversion layer (B) contains green fluorescent particles (Bg), of the light incident on the color conversion layer (B) from the light source (A), part is converted into red light by the quantum dots (Br) and emitted from the color conversion layer (B), another part is converted into green light by the green fluorescent particles (Bg) and emitted from the color conversion layer (B), and yet another part passes directly through the color conversion layer (B) as light from the light source (A). Thus, the light from the light source (A), red light, and green light mix, and therefore there is a tendency for white light to be emitted from the color conversion layer (B).
[0131] The emission spectrum of green fluorescent particles (Bg) preferably has a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 10 nm to 80 nm. When the FWHM is 30 nm or less, the color purity of the green light is high, thus further improving the brightness of the green light in the display device. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of synthesizing green fluorescent particles, there is an advantageous trend when the FWHM is 10 nm or more. The FWHM of the emission spectrum of the green light is more preferably 10 nm to 60 nm, further preferably 10 nm to 40 nm, even more preferably 10 nm to 30 nm, and particularly preferably 20 nm to 30 nm.
[0132] The emission spectrum (peak) of the green light emitted from the green fluorescent particles (Bg) preferably has a maximum value in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 560 nm. When the peak value is present in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 560 nm, the color purity of the green light corresponding to the peak is particularly high, thus further improving the brightness of the green light in the display device. More preferably, the peak value exists in the wavelength range of 520 nm to 540 nm. The emission spectrum emitted from the green fluorescent particles (Bg) is measured by the method described in the Examples section below.

[0250] [Manufacturing method of color filter (C)]
[0251] Color filters (C) can be manufactured, for example, by forming blue, green, and red patterns (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as colored patterns) on a substrate using blue, green, and red curable resin compositions (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as colored curable resin compositions) respectively.
[0252] Examples of methods for forming colored patterns from a color-curable resin composition include photolithography, inkjet printing, and printing, with photolithography being the preferred method. Photolithography involves coating a color-curable resin composition onto a substrate, drying it to form a color composition layer, exposing the color composition layer through a photomask, and then developing it. In photolithography, a colored coating film, which is a cured product of the aforementioned color composition layer, can be formed without using a photomask and / or without development during exposure. The colored pattern and colored coating film formed from the color-curable resin composition constitute the color filter (C) of this invention.
[0253] The film thickness of the fabricated color filter is not particularly limited and can be appropriately adjusted according to the purpose and application, for example, 0.1 to 30 μm, preferably 0.1 to 20 μm, and more preferably 0.5 to 6 μm. The film thickness of the color filter can be, for example, less than 3.5 μm.
[0254] As a substrate, glass plates such as quartz glass, borosilicate glass, aluminosilicate glass, and soda-lime glass with a surface coated with silica, resin plates such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, and polyethylene terephthalate, silicon, and substrates on which aluminum, silver, or silver / copper / palladium alloy thin films are formed can be used. Other color filter layers, resin layers, transistors, and circuits can be formed on these substrates. The substrate can be contained within the color filter (C).
[0255] The formation of color patterns based on photolithography can be carried out using known or conventional apparatus and conditions. For example, it can be fabricated as described below.
[0256] First, the coloring curable resin composition is coated onto a substrate and then subjected to vacuum drying (pre-baking) and / or heat drying to remove volatile components such as solvents and obtain a smooth coloring curable resin composition layer.
[0257] Examples of coating methods include spin coating, slot coating, and slot spin coating.
[0258] The preferred temperature for heat drying is 30–120°C, more preferably 50–110°C. The preferred heating time is 10 seconds to 60 minutes, more preferably 30 seconds to 30 minutes. For vacuum drying, it is preferably carried out at a pressure of 50–150 Pa and a temperature range of 20–25°C. The film thickness of the color-curing resin composition layer is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected according to the film thickness of the target color filter.
[0259] Next, the color-curable resin composition layer is exposed through a photomask used to form the target color pattern.
[0260] The pattern on the photomask is not particularly limited; a pattern corresponding to the target application can be used. As the light source used for exposure, a light source that generates light with wavelengths of 250–450 nm is preferred. For example, light with wavelengths less than 350 nm can be cut off using a filter that cuts off that wavelength region, or light near 436 nm, 408 nm, and 365 nm can be selectively extracted using a bandpass filter that extracts these wavelength regions. Specific examples of light sources include mercury lamps, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), metal halide lamps, and halogen lamps.
[0261] In order to uniformly irradiate the entire exposure surface with parallel light and to accurately align the photomask with the substrate on which the color curable resin composition layer is formed, it is preferable to use exposure devices such as a mask aligner and a stepper.
[0262] The exposed color-curing resin composition layer is brought into contact with a developing solution for development, thereby forming a colored pattern on the substrate. The unexposed portions of the color-curing resin composition layer are dissolved and removed by the developing solution.
[0263] As a developer, an aqueous solution of an alkaline compound such as potassium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, and tetramethylammonium hydroxide is preferred.
[0264] The concentration of the alkaline compound is preferably 0.01 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.02 to 5% by mass. The developer may contain a surfactant.
[0265] The development method can be any of the following: spin-dip, immersion, or spray. Furthermore, the substrate can be tilted at any angle during development.
[0266] The substrate after development is preferably washed with water.
[0267] In addition, it is preferable to perform a post-bake on the obtained colored pattern.
[0268] The post-baking temperature is preferably 150–250°C, more preferably 160–235°C. The post-baking time is preferably 1–120 minutes, more preferably 10–60 minutes. The resulting colored pattern and colored coating, i.e., the color filter, can be further used for surface coating treatment to impart various properties.
[0269] [Coloring and Curing Resin Composition]
[0270] In addition to the colorant (hereinafter also referred to as colorant (A)) mentioned above, the coloring curable resin composition may also contain resin (B), polymerizable compound (C) and polymerization initiator (D).
[0271] The content of solid components in the color-curing resin composition relative to the total amount of the color-curing resin composition is 100% by mass or less, preferably 0.01% by mass to 100% by mass, more preferably 0.1% by mass to 99.9% by mass, further preferably 0.1% by mass to 99% by mass, particularly preferably 1% by mass to 90% by mass, even more preferably 1% by mass to 80% by mass, especially preferably 1% by mass to 70% by mass, extremely preferably 1% by mass to 60% by mass, and most preferably 1% by mass to 50% by mass. In this specification, "total amount of solid components" refers to the total amount of components obtained by removing the solvent (E) from the color-curing resin composition. The total amount of solid components and the content of each component relative to the total amount of solid components can be determined using known analytical methods such as liquid chromatography or gas chromatography.
[0272] The content of colorant (A) in the color-curing resin composition, in the total amount of solid components, can be, for example, 1% to 99% by mass, preferably 1% to 90% by mass, more preferably 1% to 80% by mass, further preferably 1% to 70% by mass, particularly preferably 1% to 60% by mass, even more preferably 1% to 55% by mass, especially preferably 5% to 55% by mass, and extremely preferably 10% to 55% by mass. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the content of colorant (A) in the color-curing resin composition, in the total amount of solid components, can be, for example, 12% to 80% by mass, preferably 15% to 70% by mass, more preferably 20% to 50% by mass.

[0394] Mixing can be carried out using known or conventional means and conditions.
[0395] The colorant (A) is preferably used in the form of a colorant (A) dispersion, which is pre-mixed with a portion or all of the solvent (E) and dispersed using a bead mill or similar device until the average particle size of the colorant (A) is about 0.2 μm or less.

The prism sheet can be attached to adjacent components via any suitable adhesive layer (e.g., an adhesive layer, a bonding agent layer). The prism sheet is composed of multiple unit prisms convex towards the side opposite to the viewing side (back side). By arranging the convex portions of the prism sheet towards the back side, light transmitted through the prism sheet is more easily focused. Furthermore, if the convex portions of the prism sheet are arranged towards the back side, compared to arranging the convex portions towards the viewing side, less light is reflected from the prism sheet, resulting in a brighter display.

It should be noted that the chromaticity coordinates (x, y) for red in Rec.ITU-R BT.2020 are (0.708, 0.292), for green are (0.170, 0.797), and for blue are (0.131, 0.046).
[0415] <Monitor>
[0416] like Figure 4 As shown, the display 200 of this embodiment includes a liquid crystal panel 201 and the display device 100 sequentially from the viewing side. The liquid crystal panel 201 typically includes a liquid crystal cell, a viewing-side polarizer disposed on the viewing side of the liquid crystal cell, and a back-side polarizer disposed on the back side of the liquid crystal cell. The display may further include any other suitable components.
[0417] LCD Panel
[0418] The aforementioned liquid crystal panel typically includes a liquid crystal cell, a viewing-side polarizer disposed on the viewing side of the liquid crystal cell, and a back-side polarizer disposed on the back side of the liquid crystal cell. The viewing-side polarizer and the back-side polarizer can be configured such that their respective absorption axes are substantially orthogonal or parallel.
[0419] [Liquid Crystal Unit]
[0420] A liquid crystal cell has a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal layer serving as a display medium sandwiched between the substrates. In a typical configuration, a color filter and a black matrix are provided on one substrate, while a switching element for controlling the electro-optical properties of the liquid crystal, a scan line providing gate signals to the switching element, a signal line providing source signals, a pixel electrode, and a counter electrode are provided on the other substrate. The spacing between the substrates (cell gap) can be controlled by spacers or the like. An alignment film, for example, made of polyimide, can be provided on the side of the substrate in contact with the liquid crystal layer.
[0421] [Polarizing filter]
[0422] A polarizer typically has a polarizer and protective layers disposed on both sides of the polarizer. A typical polarizer is an absorption-type polarizer.
[0423] As the aforementioned polarizer, any suitable polarizer can be used. Examples include films formed by uniaxially stretching hydrophilic polymer films such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films, partially formalized PVA films, and partially saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer films after adsorbing iodine, dichroic dyes, or other dichroic substances; and polyolefin-based oriented films such as dehydrated PVA products and dehydrochlorinated polyvinyl chloride products. Among these, polarizers formed by uniaxially stretching PVA films after adsorbing iodine or other dichroic substances are particularly preferred due to their high dichroic polarization ratio.
