[0194] However, this is not a limitation of the present disclosure, and in some embodiments, the material layer CCM may be disposed outside the bank hole OP.
[0195] In the case where the material layer CCM is disposed in the bank hole OP, the thickness of the material layer CCM in the third direction DR3 may be less than the thickness of the color conversion layer CCL in the opening OPA in the third direction DR3.
[0196] At least a portion of the edge of the bank layer BNK around the bank hole OP may include a low liquid-repellent portion having liquid repellency lower than that of the rest of the surface of the bank layer BNK.
[0197] The low liquid repellent portion may be formed in a closed curve form along the periphery of the bank hole OP, but is not limited thereto.

[0199] The capping layer CAPL may cover the bank layer BNK, the color conversion layer CCL, the transmission layer, and the material layer CCM.
[0200] At least a portion of the capping layer CAPL may be located on inner walls of the bank hole OP and the opening OPA.
[0201] The capping layer CAPL may prevent impurities such as moisture or air from penetrating into the first color filter CF1 , the second color filter CF2 , the third color filter CF3 , the color conversion layer CCL, and the transmission layer.
[0202] The capping layer CAPL may include an inorganic material.
[0203] The filling layer FLL may be located between the bank layer BNK, the color conversion layer CCL, the transmission layer, the material layer CCM, and the capping layer CAPL, and the encapsulation part ENC of the display unit DC.
[0204] The capping layer CAPL may include a portion between the bank layer BNK and the spacer CS.
[0205] Among the bank holes OP, the inner part of the bank holes OP which is not filled with the spacer CS may be filled with the filling layer FLL.
[0206] According to one embodiment, the bank hole OP may be formed to completely penetrate the bank layer BNK to the bottom of the insulating layer IL in the third direction DR3 , or may partially penetrate the bank layer BNK in the third direction DR3 so that a portion of the bank layer BNK may remain at the location of the bank hole OP.
[0207] That is, the thickness of the embankment hole OP in the third direction DR3 may be the same as or similar to the thickness of the embankment layer BNK in the third direction DR3 in which the embankment hole OP or the opening OPA is not formed, or may be smaller than the thickness of the embankment layer BNK in the third direction DR3 in which the embankment hole OP or the opening OPA is not formed.
[0208] Figure 6 yes Figure 4 0 is a cross-sectional view of the display device shown in taken along line A1 - A2 .
[0209] refer to Figure 6 The display device 1000a according to the embodiment is substantially the same as the display device 1000 according to the previous embodiment, but the bank layer BNK, the color conversion layer CCL, the transmission layer, and the material layer CCM may be formed on the encapsulation part ENC of the display unit DC.
[0210] The filling layer FLL may be located between the bank layer BNK, the color conversion layer CCL, the transmission layer, the material layer CCM, the capping layer CAPL, and the insulating layer IL.
[0211] The spacer CS may be located between the insulating layer IL and the filling layer FLL.
[0212] The spacer CS may be formed on the lower surface of the second substrate SUB2.
[0213] The bank hole OP of the bank layer BNK may overlap the spacer CS on a plane, and may face the spacer CS.
[0214] The spacer CS overlapping the bank hole OP may be spaced apart from the bank layer BNK in the third direction DR3 or may be in contact with an upper surface of the bank layer BNK or an upper surface of the capping layer CAPL.
[0215] Depending on the embodiment, a portion of the spacer CS may be located inside the bank hole OP of the bank layer BNK.
[0216] The bank hole OP and the spacer CS may overlap the pixel insulation layer PDL.
[0217] The filling layer FLL may be located between the first, second, and third color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3 and the bank layer BNK.
[0218] Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of a display device according to a comparative example.
[0219] During the manufacturing process of the display devices 1000 and 1000 a according to the embodiment, the color conversion layer CCL may be formed by, for example, an inkjet printing method.
[0220] In the inkjet printing process, ink used to form the color conversion layer CCL may erroneously fall on an area outside the opening OPA instead of settling in the opening OPA.
[0221] Because according to Figure 7 The display device 1000r of the comparative example shown in FIG. 1 does not include the bank hole OP, so if the ink is misplaced on the surface of the bank layer BNK where the spacer CS is located, the ink layer CCML is formed at an incorrect position on the bank layer BNK. Since the spacer CS is formed on the misplaced ink layer CCML, the height of the spacer CS may become abnormally high.
[0222] Too high a spacer CS may cause the end of the spacer CS to contact the encapsulation part ENC of the display unit DC, and may cause defects such as cracks in the encapsulation part ENC pressed by the spacer CS. Impurities such as moisture and external air may penetrate into the light emitting device ED through the cracks to cause display defects.
[0223] According to the present disclosure, even if ink for forming the color conversion layer CCL is mispositioned, since the mispositioned ink can flow into the bank hole OP of the bank layer BNK, the mispositioned ink does not cause the spacer CS to become too high and cause possible damage to the encapsulation part ENC.
[0224] Accordingly, defects in the encapsulation part ENC can be prevented, and defects in the light emitting device ED and display defects can be prevented.
[0225] Will refer to Figures 8 to 11 The method for manufacturing the display device according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings described previously.
[0226] Figures 8 to 11is a cross-sectional view of a display device in each process of a method of manufacturing the display device according to an embodiment.
[0227] refer to Figure 8 , a first color filter CF1, a second color filter CF2, and a third color filter CF3 are formed on one surface of the second substrate SUB2.
[0228] The first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 may be formed by exposure and development after coating a photosensitive organic material including a color material of a specific color.
[0229] Next, an insulating layer IL is stacked on the first, second, and third color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3, and a bank layer BNK is formed on the insulating layer IL.
[0230] The bank layer BNK may include a photosensitive organic material.
[0231] The bank layer BNK patterned by exposing and developing the bank layer BNK may have a plurality of openings OPA and a plurality of bank holes OP.
[0232] At least a portion of the edge of the bank layer BNK around the bank hole OP may include a low liquid-repellent portion SLP having liquid repellency lower than that of the rest of the surface of the bank layer BNK (a portion not indicated as SLP).
[0233] The low liquid repellent portion SLP may be formed using a semi-transmissive portion of a photomask used in a patterning process of the bank layer BNK.
[0234] The low liquid repellent portion SLP may be formed in a closed curve form along the periphery of the bank hole OP, but is not limited thereto.
[0235] A specific method of forming the low liquid repellency portion SLP will be described later.
[0236] Next, refer to Fig. 9 , a color conversion layer CCL and a transmission layer TL are formed in a plurality of openings OPA defined in the bank layer BNK.
[0237] The color conversion layer CCL may be formed through an inkjet printing process using an ink composition.
[0238] The color conversion layer CCL and the transmission layer TL corresponding to the light emitting areas LEA1, LEA2, and LEA3 representing different colors may be formed of different ink compositions.
[0239] The ink composition of the color conversion layer CCL may include a scatterer SC and quantum dots SN, and the transmission layer TL may include the scatterer.
[0240] The ink CCM1 dripping toward the opening OPA of the bank layer BNK may settle in the opening OPA to form the color conversion layer CCL, but some of the ink CCM1 may fall into the bank hole OP where the spacer CS is located. The dripping ink CCM2 may enter the bank hole OP. The ink CCM3 on the edge of the bank layer BNK around the bank hole OP may flow into the bank hole OP.
[0241] Specifically, when the low liquid repellent portion SLP is formed at the edge of the bank layer BNK around the bank hole OP, the ink CCM3 is more likely to flow into the bank hole OP rather than stay around the edge.
[0242] The ink entering the bank hole OP may form a material layer CCM.
[0243] Next, refer to Fig.10 , the capping layer CAPL may be formed by disposing an inorganic material on the bank layer BNK, the material layer CCM, the color conversion layer CCL, and the transmission layer TL.
[0244] The capping layer CAPL may be formed over the entire area of the second substrate SUB2.
[0245] Next, refer to Fig.11 , a spacer CS is formed on a portion of the bank layer BNK overlapping the bank hole OP.
[0246] The spacer CS may include a portion CSa positioned higher than the upper surface of the bank layer BNK and a portion CSb located inside the bank hole OP.
[0247] Next, if Figure 5 As shown in , the color conversion cell CC thus formed can be combined with and attached to the display cell DC (with the filling layer FLL interposed therebetween) to complete the display device.
[0248] Will refer to Figure 12 to Figure 14 The structure of the low liquid-repellent portion SLP around the bank hole OP of the bank layer BNK is described with reference to the previously described drawings.
[0249] Fig.12 is a plan view of a bank layer of a display device according to an embodiment, and Fig.13 and Fig.14 yes Fig.12 0 is a cross-sectional view of a bank layer of a display device shown in , taken along line C1 - C2 .
[0250] refer to Fig.12At least a portion of an edge of the bank layer BNK of the display device according to the embodiment around the bank hole OP has a low liquid repellency portion SLP having lower liquid repellency than other portions of the surface of the bank layer BNK.
[0251] In a plan view, the low liquid repellent portion SLP may be formed along the periphery of the bank hole OP.
[0252] exist Fig.13 In the embodiment of the present invention, the low liquid repellent portion SLP may include a substantially inclined surface that slopes downward from the upper surface of the bank layer BNK toward the bank hole OP.
[0253] exist Fig.14 In the embodiment of the present invention, the low liquid repellent portion SLP may include a cutout or a recessed portion at an edge of the bank layer BNK, the cutout or the recessed portion forming an entrance into the bank hole OP. The low liquid repellent portion SLP may form a step from the top surface of the bank layer BNK downward into the bank hole OP.
[0254] Figures 12 to 24 The characteristics of the low liquid repellency portion SLP shown in FIG. 1 can also be applied to the above-described Figures 1 to 6 The display devices 1000 and 1000a of the embodiments shown in FIG.
[0255] refer to Fig.15 and Fig.16 The photomask capable of forming the low liquid repellent portion SLP of the bank layer BNK around the bank hole OP is described with reference to the drawings described above.
[0256] Fig.15 is a plan view of a photomask used in a process of forming a bank layer of a display device according to an embodiment, and Fig.16 is a plan view of a photomask used in a process of forming a bank layer of a display device according to an embodiment.
[0257] refer to Fig.15 The photomask 500 used in the patterning process of the dam layer BNK described above has a first portion 501 corresponding to the dam hole OP, a second portion 502 having a light transmittance property opposite to that of the first portion 501, and a third portion SLT located between the first portion 501 and the second portion 502 and having semi-transmittance.
[0258] For example, when the first portion 501 is a light-transmitting portion that substantially transmits most of the light, the second portion 502 may be a light-blocking portion that blocks the light. When the first portion 501 is light-blocking, the second portion 502 may be light-transmitting.
[0259] More specifically, when the photosensitivity of the bank blocking layer BNK is negative, the first portion 501 may be a light blocking portion, the second portion 502 may be a light transmitting portion, and the third portion SLT may be a portion having a transmittance lower than that of the second portion 502 and higher than that of the first portion 501 .
[0260] The third portion SLT of the photo mask 500 may include a semi-transparent portion or a slit.
[0261] For example, when the light transmittance of the second portion 502 is 100%, the light transmittance of the third portion SLT may be approximately 50% or more and less than 100%.
[0262] When the third part SLT includes Fig.15 When the plurality of slits are shown in FIG, a width Oa of an opening portion of the slit may be equal to or greater than a width Ob of a light blocking portion between adjacent opening portions, and the width Ob of the light blocking portion may be greater than zero.
[0263] The plurality of opening portions of the slits may be arranged along the periphery of the first portion 501 to form one row or two rows or more rows.
[0264] Each of the width Oa of the opening portion and the width Ob of the light blocking portion may be approximately 1 micrometer to 2 micrometers, but is not limited thereto.
[0265] refer to Fig.16 The photomask 500a according to this embodiment is different from the photomask 500a according to Fig.15 The photomask 500 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is substantially the same, but the third portion SLT is located around the first portion 501 , and the third portion SLT may include one or more opening portions forming a closed curve band shape.
[0266] The width Oa of the opening portion may be equal to or greater than the width Ob of the light blocking portion between adjacent opening portions, and the width Ob of the light blocking portion may be greater than zero.
[0267] Each of the width Oa of the opening portion and the width Ob of the light blocking portion may be approximately 1 micrometer to 2 micrometers, but is not limited thereto.
[0268] According to the above described Figure 6 The manufacturing method of the display device of the embodiment illustrated in the figure may include Figures 8 to 16 The manufacturing process is shown in FIG. 1 , but the formation position of the bank layer BNK may be different.
[0269] Specifically, the first, second, and third color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3 and the insulating layer IL may be stacked on the second substrate SUB2, and the spacer CS may be formed on top of them.
[0270] In addition, a bank layer BNK may be formed on the encapsulation part ENC of the display cell DC and then patterned to form a plurality of openings OPA and a plurality of bank holes OP.
[0271] Next, a color conversion layer CCL and a transmission layer TL may be formed in a plurality of openings OPA defined by the patterned bank layer BNK.
[0272] Next, a capping layer CAPL may be formed by stacking an inorganic material on the bank layer BNK, the material layer CCM, the color conversion layer CCL, and the transmission layer TL.
[0273] Next, the second substrate SUB2 on which the spacer CS is formed may be coupled to the display unit DC.
[0274] In this case, the spacer CS may be located at a position where the bank hole OP overlaps.
[0275] Reference Figures 17 to 20 The changes in the liquid repellency of the bank layer according to the exposure method are described together with the previously described drawings.
[0276] Fig.17 is a plan view of a photomask according to an embodiment, Fig.18 yes Fig.17 A cross-sectional view of the photomask shown in FIG. 1 obtained by cutting along line B1 - B2 , Fig.19 It is shot from above and dripping in use Fig.17 and Fig.18 A photograph of ink on a bank layer exposed by a photomask as shown in FIG. Fig. 20 is a photograph taken from above of ink dripping onto a bank barrier exposed in full tone.
[0277] refer to Figures 17 to 20 The photo mask MK forms a semi-transmission portion including opening portions EX and light blocking portions BL alternately arranged to form slits, and light is exposed to the bank blocking layer BNK through the photo mask MK.
[0278] The bank layer BNK exposed through the photomask MK forms a bank layer BNK1 having low liquid repellency on the surface (at Fig.19 ). The bank material exposed through the light-transmitting portion having a light transmittance of 100% remains to form a bank layer BNK2 having a higher liquid repellency than the liquid repellency of the surface of BNK1 (in Fig. 20 ).
[0279] Due to the relatively high liquid repellency of the bank barrier layer BNK2, the droplets Fig. 20 The ink INK2 on the surface of the bank barrier layer BNK2 shown in FIG. 1 is difficult to spread, but the ink INK2 dropped on the surface of the bank barrier layer BNK2 is difficult to spread. Fig.19 The ink INK1 on the surface of the bank layer BNK1 shown in FIG. 1 further spreads outward due to the relatively low liquid repellency of the bank layer BNK1 .
[0280] According to one embodiment, at least a portion of an edge of the bank hole OP of the bank layer BNK of the display device may form a low liquid repellency portion SLP, ie, a surface of the bank layer BNK having lower blistering than a surrounding area, by undergoing half exposure.
[0281] Accordingly, ink dropped on the bank layer BNK around the bank hole OP can be more easily spread and flow into the bank hole OP, thereby reducing the possibility that misaligned ink remains on the bank layer BNK.
[0282] Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a high spacer CS from being inadvertently formed due to incorrectly positioned ink, and also prevent a display defect of a display device.
[0283] Reference will be made to the aforementioned drawings and Figure 21 to Figure 24 The shape of the bank hole in the bank layer of the display device according to the embodiment and the relationship with the spacer will be described.
