[0056] Embodiments will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the disclosed embodiments may be provided in different forms and should not be construed as limiting. Throughout this disclosure, the same reference numerals represent the same components. In the accompanying drawings, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity.

[0057] In order to describe the embodiments of the present disclosure, some parts irrelevant to the description may not be provided.

[0058] It will also be understood that when a layer is referred to as being "on" another layer or substrate, it can be directly on the other layer or substrate, or intervening layers may also be present. Conversely, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there may be no intervening elements present.

[0059] In addition, the phrase "in a plan view" means when the object portion is observed from above, and the phrase "in a schematic cross-sectional view" means when a schematic cross section taken by vertically cutting the object portion is observed from the side. The term "overlap" or "overlapped" means that the first object can be above or below the second object, or on one side of the second object, and vice versa. In addition, the term "overlap" may include layering, stacking, facing or facing, extending on ..., covering and / or partially covering or any other suitable term as will be appreciated and understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art. The expression "non-overlapping" may include such as "spaced apart from ... " or "separated from ... " or "offset from ... " and any other suitable equivalent meaning as will be appreciated and understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art. The term "face (face)" and "facing (facing)" may mean that the first object may be directly or indirectly opposite to the second object. In the case where a third object is between the first object and the second object, the first object and the second object may be understood to be indirectly opposite to each other, but still facing each other.

[0060] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "below", "below", "lower", "above", "upper" may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or component and another element or component as shown in the drawings. It will be understood that, in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings, the spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, in the case where the device shown in the drawings is flipped, a device positioned "below" or "below" another device may be placed "above" the other device. Therefore, the illustrative term "below" may include both the lower position and the upper position. The device may also be oriented in other directions, and therefore the spatially relative terms may be interpreted differently depending on the orientation.

[0061] When an element is referred to as being "connected" or "coupled" to another element, the element may be "directly connected" or "directly coupled" to the other element, or "electrically connected" or "electrically coupled" to the other element with one or more intervening elements interposed therebetween. It will also be understood that when the terms "comprises," "comprising," "having," "having," "having," "including," and / or "comprising" are used, they may specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or parts, but do not preclude the presence or addition of other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, parts, and / or any combination thereof.

[0062] It will be understood that although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element from another element, or for the convenience of description and explanation. For example, without departing from the teachings of this article, when discussing a "first element" in the description, it may be referred to as a "second element" or a "third element", and the "second element" and "third element" may be named in a similar manner.

[0063] In view of the measurements in question and the errors associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system), the terms "about" or "approximately" as used herein are inclusive of the stated value and mean within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, "about" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, ±20%, ±10%, ±5% of the stated value.

[0064] In the specification and claims, for the purpose of its meaning and interpretation, the term "and / or" is intended to include any combination of the terms "and" and "or". For example, "A and / or B" may be understood to mean "A, B, or A and B". The terms "and" and "or" may be used in a conjunctive or disjunctive sense and may be understood to be equivalent to "and / or". In the specification and claims, for the purpose of its meaning and interpretation, the phrase "at least one of" is intended to include the meaning of "at least one selected from the group of..." For example, "at least one of A and B" may be understood to mean "A, B, or A and B".

[0065] Unless otherwise defined or implied, 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, such as those defined in commonly used 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 in this specification.

[0066] Hereinafter, one or more embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When the sub-region SBA is bent, it may overlap the main region MA in the third direction DR3 which is the thickness direction of the display panel 100. The display driving circuit 250 may be disposed in the sub-region SBA.

However, the first scan driving unit SDC1 and the second scan driving unit SDC2 are not limited thereto. Each of the first scan driving unit SDC1 and the second scan driving unit SDC2 may be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 250 through a scan fan-out line. Each of the first scan driving unit SDC1 and the second scan driving unit SDC2 may receive a scan control signal from the display driving circuit 250, generate a scan signal according to the scan control signal, and output the scan signal to the scan line.

[0084] The sub-region SBA may protrude from one side of the main region MA in the second direction DR2.

For example, the first subpixel SPX1 may be connected to the write scan line GWL, the initialization scan line GIL, the control scan line GCL, the bias scan line GBL, the emission control line EL and the data line DL.

[0101] The first subpixel SPX1 according to one embodiment includes a driving transistor DT, a switching element, a capacitor C1 and a first light emitting element LE1. The switching element includes first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth transistors ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4, ST5, and ST6.

In this case, the active layer of each of the first transistor ST1, the second transistor ST2, the third transistor ST3, the fourth transistor ST4, the fifth transistor ST5, the sixth transistor ST6 and the driving transistor DT may be formed of polysilicon or an oxide semiconductor.

[0107] The gate electrode of the second transistor ST2 may be connected to the write scan line GWL, and the gate electrode of the first transistor ST1 may be connected to the control scan line GCL. The gate electrode of the third transistor ST3 may be connected to the initialization scan line GIL, and the gate electrode of the fourth transistor ST4 may be connected to the bias scan line GBL. The gate electrodes of the fifth transistor ST5 and the sixth transistor ST6 may be connected to the emission control line EL. Because the first transistor ST1, the second transistor ST2, the third transistor ST3, the fourth transistor ST4, the fifth transistor ST5, and the sixth transistor ST6 are formed as p-type MOSFETs, they may be turned on when the scan signal of the gate low voltage and the emission signal are applied to the control scan line GCL, the initialization scan line GIL, the write scan line GWL, the bias scan line GBL, and the emission control line EL, respectively. One electrode of the third transistor ST3 and one electrode of the fourth transistor ST4 may be connected to the initialization voltage line VIL.

Therefore, when the first transistor ST1 is turned on, the driving transistor DT may be diode-connected. The first electrode of the second transistor ST2 may be connected to the data line DL, and the second electrode of the second transistor ST2 may be connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor DT. The first electrode of the third transistor ST3 may be connected to the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT, and the second electrode of the third transistor ST3 may be connected to the initialization voltage line VIL.

In this case, the transistor formed of polysilicon and the transistor formed of an oxide semiconductor may be arranged in different layers.

[0112] Because the first transistor ST1 and the third transistor ST3 are formed as n-type MOSFETs, the first transistor ST1 can be turned on when a control scan signal with a gate high voltage is applied to the control scan line GCL, and the third transistor ST3 can be turned on when an initialization scan signal with a gate high voltage is applied to the initialization scan line GIL. In contrast, the second transistor ST2, the fourth transistor ST4, the fifth transistor ST5, and the sixth transistor ST6 are formed as p-type MOSFETs, so when a scan signal with a gate low voltage and an emission signal are applied to the write scan line GWL, the bias scan line GBL, and the emission control line EL, respectively, the second transistor ST2, the fourth transistor ST4, the fifth transistor ST5, and the sixth transistor ST6 can be turned on.

[0113] Optionally, Figure 5 The fourth transistor ST4 in the embodiment may be formed by an n-type MOSFET. In this case, the active layer of each fourth transistor ST4 may be formed by an oxide semiconductor. When the fourth transistor ST4 is formed by an n-type MOSFET, the fourth transistor ST4 may be turned on when a bias scan signal of a gate high voltage is applied to the bias scan line GBL.

[0161] The organic pattern layer BOL is disposed between the first electrode APD and the second electrode CPD, and may cover the edges of the first electrode APD and the second electrode CPD. The organic pattern layer BOL is used to temporarily fix or adhere the plurality of light emitting elements LE to prevent the plurality of light emitting elements LE from tilting or tipping over in the process of transferring the light emitting elements LE to the display panel 100. That is, the organic pattern layer BOL may be a layer for temporarily adhering the light emitting element LE to the first electrode APD and the second electrode CPD. To facilitate temporary adhesion, the thickness of the organic pattern layer BOL may be greater than the thickness of each of the first electrode APD and the second electrode CPD, but is not limited thereto. After the transfer process of the light emitting element LE is completed, the organic pattern layer BOL may be cured, etc., to produce a strong bond between the light emitting element LE and the organic pattern layer BOL. Unlike conventional (eutectic) bonding processes, the bonding process using the organic pattern layer BOL does not require heat and pressure to damage the light emitting element LE, so it has the effect of preventing defects in the light emitting element LE.

[0162] The organic pattern layer BOL may be an insulating material without electrical connection. In addition, the organic pattern layer BOL may be a photosensitive organic film such as photoresist. Alternatively, the organic pattern layer BOL may be formed of acrylic resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamide resin, polyimide resin, etc.

The element insulating layer INS0 may be formed of an inorganic film (e.g., a silicon nitride layer, a silicon oxynitride layer, a silicon oxide layer, a titanium oxide layer, and / or an aluminum oxide layer).

[0176] The first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 are disposed on the two openings. For example, the first contact electrode CTE1 may be disposed on the first opening OP-L1 and contact the first semiconductor layer SEM1 via the transparent conductive layer TCO. The second contact electrode CTE2 may be disposed on the second opening OP-L2 and contact the second semiconductor layer SEM2. To this end, the second opening OP-L2 may expose the second semiconductor layer SEM2. The second opening OP-L2 may have a diameter wider than the first opening OP-L1.

[0177] The element insulating layer INS0 may be disposed to cover the side surface of the groove defined by the second opening OP-L2.

[0178] Because the first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 are disposed on the top surface of the light emitting element LE, they may be transparent electrodes. For example, the first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 may be formed of a transparent conductive oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and / or indium zinc oxide (IZO). However, it is not limited thereto, and in one or more embodiments, the first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 may be disposed on the lower surface of the light emitting element LE.

[0195] The wavelength controlling part 200 may be disposed on the light emitting element layer EML.

[0196] The wavelength control part 200 may include a partition wall PW, a second reflective layer RFL, and a wavelength conversion layer QDL.

[0197] The partition wall PW is arranged to extend in the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2 and may form a lattice pattern across the entire display area DA. In addition, the partition wall PW may not overlap the plurality of light emitting areas and may overlap the non-light emitting area.

[0198] The partition wall PW may be used to provide a space for the wavelength conversion layer QDL to be formed. The partition wall PW may have a large thickness to provide a space for the wavelength conversion layer QDL to be formed. For example, the partition wall PW may include an organic insulating material so that the partition wall PW may be made thick. The organic insulating material may include, for example, an epoxy-based resin, an acrylic-based resin, a cardo-based resin, and / or an imide-based resin.

[0199] In one or more embodiments, the partition wall PW may include a first partition wall and a second partition wall stacked in sequence. In this case, the length of the first partition wall in the first direction DR1 or the second direction DR2 may be wider than the length of the second partition wall in the first direction DR1 or the second direction DR2. In one or more embodiments, the partition wall PW may block the transmission of light in the non-luminous area. The partition wall PW may also include a light-shielding material, and may include a dye or pigment having a light-shielding property. For example, the partition wall PW may include an inorganic black pigment or an organic black pigment such as carbon black. External light incident on the display device 10 from the outside may cause the problem of distorting the color gamut of the wavelength control part 200. According to this embodiment, the partition wall PW including the light-shielding material is arranged in the wavelength control part 200 so that at least a portion of the external light is absorbed by the light-shielding material. Therefore, the color distortion caused by the reflection of external light can be reduced. In addition, the partition wall PW including the light-shielding material can prevent light from intruding between adjacent light-emitting areas and causing mixing, thereby further improving the color reproduction rate.

[0200] The second reflective layer RFL may be disposed between the partition wall PW and the first light conversion layer WCL1, between the partition wall PW and the second light conversion layer WCL2, and between the partition wall PW and the light transmission layer TPL.

[0204] The wavelength conversion layer QDL may be disposed in each light emitting region (of the sub-pixels SPX1, SPX2, and SPX3) separated by the partition wall PW, and may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other. That is, the wavelength conversion layer QDL may be formed into an island pattern spaced apart from each other. The wavelength conversion layer QDL may be disposed to overlap with the first light emitting region of the first sub-pixel SPX1, the second light emitting region of the second sub-pixel SPX2, and the third light emitting region of the third sub-pixel SPX3, respectively. In one or more embodiments, each of the wavelength conversion layers QDL may completely overlap with the first light emitting region, the second light emitting region, and the third light emitting region.

[0205] The wavelength conversion layer QDL includes a first light conversion layer WCL1 overlapping the first light emitting region, a second light conversion layer WCL2 overlapping the second light emitting region, and a light transmitting layer TPL overlapping the third light emitting region.

[0206] The first wavelength conversion layer WCL1 may be disposed to overlap the first light emitting region.

[0208] The first wavelength conversion particle WCP1 can convert the first light incident from the light emitting element LE into the second light.

The first wavelength conversion particle WCP1 can be a quantum dot (QD), a quantum rod, a fluorescent material and / or a phosphorescent material. For example, a quantum dot can be a particle material that emits light of a specific color due to an electron transition from a conduction band to a valence band.

[0209] Quantum dots can be semiconductor nanocrystal materials. Depending on the composition and size of the quantum dots, the quantum dots can have a specific band gap to absorb light and emit light with a unique wavelength.

The accompanying drawings show that the cap layer CAP is formed as a single layer, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the cap layer CAP may be formed by alternating multiple layers of inorganic layers including at least one of the materials that the cap layer CAP may include. The thickness of the cap layer CAP may be in the range of from 0.05 μm to 2 μm, but is not limited thereto. The cap layer CAP may be disposed on the top, bottom, and side of the wavelength conversion layer QDL to be around the wavelength conversion layer QDL (e.g., to surround the wavelength conversion layer QDL), thereby protecting the wavelength conversion layer QDL from moisture. The cap layer CAP may be composed of multiple inorganic films having different refractive indices. Optionally, the cap layer CAP may include an organic film and have a multilayer structure such as an inorganic film, an organic film and / or an inorganic film. Optionally, the cap layer CAP may also be formed of a low refractive index material having a lower refractive index than the organic layer. When the cap layer CAP is formed of a low refractive index material, total reflection of light emitted from the light emitting element LE and light-converted by passing through the wavelength conversion layer QDL can be prevented. This enables light to be focused upward. When the cap layer CAP is formed of multiple layers, for example, when it includes a first cap layer and a second cap layer and the wavelength conversion layer QDL has a refractive index of 1.5 to 2.0, at least one of the first cap layer and the second cap layer may have a refractive index between 1.1 and 1.5.

[0223] In one or more embodiments, a color filter layer CFL may be disposed on the wavelength controlling part 200. The color filter layer CFL may include a first overcoat layer OC1, a first color filter CF1, a second color filter CF2, a third color filter CF3, and a second overcoat layer OC2.

[0224] The first coating layer OC1 may be disposed on the wavelength control portion 200. The first coating layer OC1 may be disposed directly on the cover layer CAP of the wavelength control portion 200. The first coating layer OC1 may be disposed completely throughout the display area DA and may have a flat surface. The first coating layer OC1 may flatten a step formed by the lower wavelength control portion 200 to facilitate formation of the color filter layer CFL.

[0225] The first coating layer OC1 may include a light-transmitting organic material. For example, the first coating layer OC1 may include an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, a cardo resin and / or an imide resin. In one or more embodiments, the first coating layer OC1 may be formed of a low refractive index material having a lower refractive index than the cap layer CAP or the wavelength conversion layer QDL. When the first coating layer OC1 has a low refractive index, light converted by the wavelength conversion layer QDL can be prevented from being reflected by the first coating layer OC1, so that the light is focused upward.

[0226] In one or more embodiments, when each light emitting element LE of each sub-pixel SPX is a native LED, the wavelength control part 200 may be omitted. That is, the color filter layer CFL may be disposed on the light emitting element layer EML.

[0227] Alternatively, when each light emitting element LE of each sub-pixel SPX is a native LED, the wavelength control part 200 may be implemented to include phosphor particles without a wavelength conversion material to improve light purity.

[0228] The first color filter CF1 , the second color filter CF2 , and the third color filter CF3 may be disposed on the first overcoating layer OC1 .

[0229] The first color filter CF1 may be disposed in the first light emitting region, the second color filter CF2 may be disposed in the second light emitting region, and the third color filter CF3 may be disposed in the third light emitting region.

[0230] The first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 may include a colorant (such as a dye or a pigment) that absorbs light of a wavelength other than the wavelength of the corresponding color light. The first color filter CF1 may selectively transmit the second light (e.g., red light) and block or absorb the first light (e.g., blue light) and the third light (e.g., green light). The second color filter CF2 may selectively transmit the third light (e.g., green light) and block or absorb the first light (e.g., blue light) and the second light (e.g., red light). The third color filter CF3 may selectively transmit the first light (e.g., blue light) and block or absorb the second light (e.g., red light) and the third light (e.g., green light). For example, the first color filter CF1 may be a red color filter, the second color filter CF2 may be a green color filter, and the third color filter CF3 may be a blue color filter.

[0231] In one or more embodiments, the light incident on the first color filter CF1 may be light converted into the second light in the first wavelength conversion layer WCL1, the light incident on the second color filter CF2 may be light converted into the third light in the second light conversion layer WCL2, and the light incident on the third color filter CF3 may be the first light transmitted through the light-transmitting layer TPL. As a result, the second light transmitted through the first color filter CF1, the third light transmitted through the second color filter CF2, and the first light transmitted through the third color filter CF3 may be emitted to the top of the substrate SUB to achieve full color.

[0232] The first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 can absorb a portion of the light entering from the outside of the display device 10 to reduce the reflected light caused by the external light. Therefore, the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 can prevent color distortion caused by the reflection of the external light. In addition, the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 can be used to block external light. For example, the first color filter CF1 disposed in the first sub-pixel SPX1 can prevent color mixing by blocking the second color light and the third color light from the outside. The color purity of the sub-pixel SPX can be improved. The plane area of ​​each of the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 can be greater than the plane area of ​​each of the plurality of light-emitting regions. For example, the first color filter CF1 can be greater than the plane area of ​​the first light-emitting region. The second color filter CF2 can be greater than the plane area of ​​the second light-emitting region. The third color filter CF3 can be greater than the plane area of ​​the third light-emitting region. However, it is not limited thereto, and the plane area of ​​each of the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 may be equal to the plane area of ​​each of the plurality of light-emitting regions. In one or more embodiments, the plane area of ​​each of the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 may be different. For example, the second color filter CF2 may have the largest area, the third color filter CF3 may have the smallest area, and the first color filter CF1 may have an area between the area of ​​the second color filter CF2 and the area of ​​the third color filter CF3. For example, the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 may be red, green, and blue, respectively.

[0233] The second coating layer OC2 may be disposed on the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3. The second coating layer OC2 may be disposed directly on the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3. The second coating layer OC2 may be completely disposed in the display area DA and may have a flat surface. The second coating layer OC2 may flatten the step formed by the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 at the bottom. The second coating layer OC2 may include a light-transmitting organic material and may be substantially the same as or similar to the above-mentioned first coating layer OC1.

[0234] Fig.10 Reference Figure 7 A diagram illustrating a contact path between a first electrode and a first contact electrode in a display panel.

[0235] refer to Fig.10, the first contact electrode CTE1 of the first light emitting element LE1 and the first electrode APD may include a first contact path PH1 passing through the first lower connection electrode BE1 - 1 and a second contact path PH2 passing through the first upper connection electrode BE2 - 1 .

[0236] In addition, the second contact electrode CTE2 and the second electrode CPD of the first light emitting element LE1 may include a first contact path PH3 passing through the second lower connection electrode BE1 - 2 and a second contact path PH4 passing through the second upper connection electrode BE2 - 2 .

[0237] In this way, when there are two contact paths (one contact path between the first contact electrode CTE1 and the first electrode APD and another contact path between the second contact electrode CTE2 and the second electrode CPD), even if a disconnection occurs in one of the contact paths, current can be injected into the light-emitting element LE through the other contact path.

[0238] In this way, the first contact electrode CTE1 and the first electrode APD of the first light emitting element LE1 are connected in parallel, and the second contact electrode CTE2 and the second electrode CPD of the first light emitting element LE1 are connected in parallel, with the effect of reducing resistance.

[0239] In addition, by stacking relatively thin first and second via layers VIA1 and VIA2 instead of a thick single-layer via layer, the generation of degassing can be reduced or minimized, and the chattering phenomenon between the light-emitting elements LE1, LE2, and LE3 and the first via layer VIA1 can be reduced or minimized. Therefore, the damage of the connection electrodes connecting the light-emitting elements LE and the electrodes APD and CPD due to degassing can be reduced or minimized.

[0240] Fig.11 is a diagram showing the display panel and Figure 6 A sectional view of another example of the cross section corresponding to the lines I1 - I1 ′, I2 - I2 ′, and I3 - I3 ′. Fig.12 It is shown in detail Fig.11 A cross-sectional view of an example of region B in FIG.

[0241] Fig.11 and Fig.12 The implementation method and Figure 7 and Figure 8 The difference between the embodiments is that the first via layer VIA1 includes a light shielding material. Fig.11 and Fig.12 In the implementation mode of Figure 7 and Figure 8 The descriptions overlap the descriptions.

[0242] The first via layer VIA1 may be formed lower than the active layer MQW of the first light emitting element LE1 .

[0243] The first via layer VIA1 may be formed of an organic film such as acrylic resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamide resin, polyimide resin, etc. The height of the first via layer VIA1 may be formed to be lower than the height of the first light emitting element LE1. The first via layer VIA1 may include a light shielding material to prevent light from the light emitting element LE of one sub-pixel SPX from traveling to an adjacent sub-pixel SPX. For example, the first via layer VIA1 may include an inorganic black pigment such as carbon black or an organic black pigment.

[0244] Fig.13 is a diagram showing the display panel and Figure 6 A sectional view of another example of the cross section corresponding to the lines I1 - I1 ′, I2 - I2 ′, and I3 - I3 ′. Fig.14 It is shown in detail Fig.13 A cross-sectional view of an example of region C.

[0245] Fig.13 and Fig.14 The implementation method and Figure 7 and Figure 8 The difference of the embodiment of is that the second via layer VIA2 does not overlap with the first light emitting element LE1. Fig.13 and Fig.14 In the implementation method of Figure 7 and Figure 8 The descriptions overlap the descriptions.

[0246] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 , the second through hole layer VIA2 is arranged not to cover the light emitting element LE. The second through hole layer VIA2 may be arranged to expose the first lower connection electrode BE1-1 and the second lower connection electrode BE1-2 respectively overlapping the first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2. Therefore, the second through hole layer VIA2 does not have Figure 8 The second via layer VIA2 has a fourth connection hole CH4 and a sixth connection hole CH6.

[0247] The fourth connection hole CH4 is formed to be positioned closer to the outside of the light emitting element LE than the first connection hole CH1, and the first lower connection electrode BE1-1 exposed by the fourth connection hole CH4 is connected to the first connection hole CH1. The fourth connection hole CH4 may expose the first lower connection electrode BE1-1. The first lower connection electrode BE1-1 exposed by the fourth connection hole CH4 is connected to the first connection hole CH1. Therefore, the first upper connection electrode BE2-1 disposed on the second through-hole layer VIA2 is connected to the first electrode APD along the first lower connection electrode BE1-1 through the fourth connection hole CH4.

[0248] The sixth connection hole CH6 is formed to be positioned closer to the outside of the light emitting element LE than the second connection hole CH2, and the second lower connection electrode BE1-2 exposed by the sixth connection hole CH6 is connected to the second connection hole CH2. The sixth connection hole CH6 may expose the second lower connection electrode BE1-2. The second lower connection electrode BE1-2 exposed by the sixth connection hole CH6 is connected to the second connection hole CH2. Therefore, the second upper connection electrode BE2-2 disposed on the second through-hole layer VIA2 is connected to the second electrode CPD along the second lower connection electrode BE1-2 through the sixth connection hole CH6.

[0249] Fig.15 is a diagram showing the display panel and Figure 6 A sectional view of another example of the cross section corresponding to the lines I1 - I1 ′, I2 - I2 ′, and I3 - I3 ′. Fig.16 It is shown Fig.15 A cross-sectional view of an example of region D.

[0250] Fig.15 and Fig.16 The implementation method and Figure 7 and Figure 8 The embodiment of FIG. 1 is different in that the second organic layer 180 has a groove 180 -R, and the first reflective layer REL is disposed along the groove 180 -R. Fig.15 and Fig.16 In the implementation method of Figure 7 and Figure 8 The descriptions overlap the descriptions.

[0251] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig.15 and Fig.16, the second organic layer 180 has a groove 180-R. The groove 180-R may overlap with the organic pattern layer BOL (for example, in the third direction DR3). The groove 180-R may overlap with the first light emitting element LE1. The first reflective layer REL may be disposed on the groove 180-R. The first reflective layer REL may be made of a highly reflective metal material such as aluminum (Al). The first reflective layer REL may reflect light emitted from the first light emitting element LE1 and traveling in a downward direction of the first light emitting element LE1 to travel in an upward direction of the first light emitting element LE1. Therefore, since the loss of light from the first light emitting element LE1 may be reduced, the light efficiency of the first light emitting element LE1 may be improved. In one or more embodiments, the first reflective layer REL may be formed as a single layer or a plurality of layers. For example, the first reflective layer REL may include M (M is an integer of 2 or greater) pairs of first and second layers having different refractive indices to serve as a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR).

[0252] Fig.17 is a flowchart illustrating a method of manufacturing a display device according to one or more embodiments. Figures 18 to 26 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a method of manufacturing a display device according to one or more embodiments. Figures 18 to 26 shows the display panel and Figure 6 An example of a cross section corresponding to the line I1-I1' in FIG. Figures 18 to 26 Some of the attachments Figure 1 In addition, the following will focus on the first light emitting area EA1 of the display device 10.

[0253] First, if Fig.18 As shown in FIG. 1 , a plurality of light emitting elements LE ( Fig.17 , or step S110 in the above process.

[0254] A first light emitting element LE1 is disposed on a fourth adhesive layer ADL4 disposed on a light emitting element substrate ESUB. A plurality of light emitting elements LE are fixed to the fourth adhesive layer ADL4 by adhesion. The light emitting element substrate ESUB may include a material that allows light to be transmitted. For example, the light emitting element substrate ESUB may include a transparent polymer such as polyimide, polyester, polyacrylic acid, polyepoxy, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, and the like. The fourth adhesive layer ADL4 may include an adhesive material for bonding a plurality of light emitting elements LE. For example, the adhesive material may include urethane acrylate, epoxy acrylate, polyester acrylate, and the like.

[0255] Will refer to it later Figures 27 to 34To describe the detailed description of the method of transferring a plurality of light emitting elements LE formed on a semiconductor substrate SSUB to a light emitting element substrate ESUB. To facilitate understanding of the description, Figures 19 to 21 A plan view of the accompanying drawings corresponding to the side view of the accompanying drawings is shown. Figures 19 to 21 , the drawing set on the upper side is a shape viewed from the top of the side view set on the lower side.

[0256] Second, if Fig.19 As shown in FIG. , a mask is used to form a thin film transistor layer ( Figure 7 A first electrode APD and a second electrode CPD ( Fig.17 , or step S120 in the above procedure.

[0257] A layer of electrode material is applied on the substrate having the thin film transistor layer. Then, a first electrode APD and a second electrode CPD are formed on the same plane using a photolithography process and are spaced apart from each other.

[0258] Third, if Fig. 20 As shown in FIG. 1 , an organic pattern layer BOL is formed on the first electrode APD and the second electrode CPD. Fig.17 , or step S130 in the above procedure.

[0259] An organic pattern layer BOL is formed between the first electrode APD and the second electrode CPD. The organic pattern layer BOL is formed to cover the edge of the first electrode APD and the edge of the second electrode CPD. The organic pattern layer BOL may be filled in the space between the first electrode APD and the second electrode CPD. The organic pattern layer BOL may be formed to be higher than the height of the first electrode APD and the second electrode CPD. The organic pattern layer BOL may be formed by applying a material to the entire surface using a photolithography process and then using a mask or the like. Alternatively, the organic pattern layer BOL may be applied in a patterned manner using printing or inkjet.

[0260] The organic pattern layer BOL may be a temporary adhesive layer or a temporary fixing layer for temporarily fixing or adhering the plurality of light emitting elements LE in a process of transferring the light emitting elements LE to the display panel 100 .

[0261] The organic pattern layer BOL may be a photosensitive organic film such as a photoresist. Alternatively, the organic pattern layer BOL may be formed of acrylic resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamide resin, polyimide resin, or the like.

[0262] Fourth, if Fig.21 As shown in FIG. 1 , a plurality of light emitting elements LE on the light emitting element substrate ESUB are fixed to the organic pattern layer BOL ( Fig.17 , or step S140 in the above procedure.

[0263] The light emitting element LE on the light emitting element substrate ESUB is disposed on the organic pattern layer BOL. The light emitting element LE is disposed such that the first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 face the upper surface. The first contact electrode CTE1 may be disposed close to the first electrode APD, and the second contact electrode CTE2 may be disposed close to the second electrode CPD.

[0264] At this time, the plurality of light emitting elements LE may be temporarily fixed by embedding them in the organic pattern layer BOL. For example, the third semiconductor layer SEM3 of each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE may be embedded in the organic pattern layer BOL and fixed.

[0265] If the organic pattern layer BOL is a photosensitive organic film such as a photoresist, the organic pattern layer BOL can be cured (soft baked) at a first temperature, and then at least a portion of the light emitting element LE can be inserted into the organic pattern layer BOL. Then, the organic pattern layer BOL can be completely cured at a second temperature higher than the first temperature. The first temperature may be approximately 100 degrees, and the second temperature may be approximately 230 degrees, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In the process of curing the organic pattern layer BOL at the first temperature, because the first temperature is low enough to completely cure the organic pattern layer BOL, the organic pattern layer BOL may be fluid. If the organic pattern layer BOL is spread over an area larger than desired, the organic pattern layer BOL may be formed into a desired shape by etching or ashing after an additional curing process to be described later. In addition, the process of completely curing the organic pattern layer BOL at the second temperature may be performed for approximately 30 minutes.

[0266] Then, the light emitting element substrate ESUB is separated from the light emitting elements LE. For example, ultraviolet light or heat may be applied to the adhesive layer of the light emitting element substrate ESUB to reduce the adhesion of the adhesive layer of the light emitting element substrate ESUB, and then the light emitting element substrate ESUB may be physically or naturally separated from the plurality of light emitting elements LE.

[0267] Next, refer to Fig. 22 , forming a first through hole layer VIA1 to cover the organic pattern layer BOL and having a first connection hole CH1 and a second connection hole CH2 ( Fig.17 , or step S150 in the above procedure.

[0268] The first via layer VIA1 may be formed to be lower than the height of the active layer MQW of the light emitting element LE. The first via layer VIA1 may be applied using a solution process such as spin coating, inkjet printing, or the like.

[0269] Next, a plurality of connection holes CH1 and CH2 are formed in the first via layer VIA1 through an etching process using a mask.

[0270] The first connection hole CH1 exposes the first electrode APD on the first electrode APD, and the second connection hole CH2 exposes the second electrode CPD on the second electrode CPD.

[0271] Next, refer to Fig.23 , a first lower connection electrode BE1-1 and a second lower connection electrode BE1-2 are formed on the first through hole layer VIA1 ( Fig.17 , or step S160 in the above procedure.

[0272] The first lower connection electrode BE1-1 connects the first electrode APD and the first contact electrode CTE1 on the light emitting element LE disposed on the organic pattern layer BOL in each of the sub-pixels SPX1 to SPX4. For example, a lower connection electrode material is deposited on the light emitting element LE and the first via layer VIA1. Thereafter, the first lower connection electrode BE1-1 and the second lower connection electrode BE1-2 spaced apart from each other are formed using a photoresist technique using a mask.

[0273] The first lower connection electrode BE1 - 1 contacts the first electrode APD exposed by the first connection hole CH1 , and the second lower connection electrode BE1 - 2 contacts the second electrode CPD exposed by the second connection hole CH2 .

[0274] Sixth, reference Fig.24 A second through hole layer VIA2 having a plurality of connection holes CH3, CH4, CH5 and CH6 is formed on the first through hole layer VIA1 ( Fig.17 , or step S170 in the above procedure.

[0275] The second via layer VIA2 may be formed to completely cover the light emitting element LE. The second via layer VIA2 may be applied using a solution process such as spin coating, inkjet printing, or the like.

[0276] Next, connection holes CH3 , CH4 , CH5 , and CH6 are formed in the second via layer VIA2 through an etching process using a mask.

[0277] The third connection hole CH3 overlaps the first contact electrode CTE1 and exposes the first lower connection electrode BE1-1, and the fifth connection hole CH5 overlaps the second contact electrode CTE2 and exposes the second lower connection electrode BE1-2. The fourth connection hole CH4 is formed to be positioned closer to the outside of the light emitting element LE than the first connection hole CH1, and the first lower connection electrode BE1-1 exposed by the fourth connection hole CH4 is connected to the first connection hole CH1. The fourth connection hole CH4 may expose the first lower connection electrode BE1-1. The first lower connection electrode BE1-1 exposed by the fourth connection hole CH4 is connected to the first connection hole CH1.

[0278] The sixth connection hole CH6 is formed to be positioned closer to the outside of the light emitting element LE than the second connection hole CH2, and the second lower connection electrode BE1-2 exposed by the sixth connection hole CH6 is connected to the second connection hole CH2. The sixth connection hole CH6 may expose the second lower connection electrode BE1-2. The second lower connection electrode BE1-2 exposed by the sixth connection hole CH6 is connected to the second connection hole CH2.

[0279] Next, refer to Fig.25 , a first upper connection electrode BE2-1 and a second upper connection electrode BE2-2 are formed on the second through hole layer VIA2 ( Fig.17 , or step S180 in the above procedure.

[0280] An upper connection electrode material layer is deposited on the second via layer VIA2. Then, a first upper connection electrode BE2-1 and a second upper connection electrode BE2-2 spaced apart from each other are formed using a photoresist technique using a mask.

[0281] Next, refer to Fig.26 , forming a partition wall PW, a first light conversion layer WCL1 and a light-transmitting layer TPL (see Figure 7 In addition, a color filter layer ( Figure 7 Color filter layer CFL) Fig.17 , or step S190 in the above procedure.

[0282] First, an organic material is applied to the second via layer VIA2 and patterned to form a partition wall PW. A second reflective layer RFL may be formed on an inner surface of a space formed by the partition wall PW.

[0283] Then, the partition wall PW has an opening, and the first light conversion layer WCL1 is formed in the opening. In the area separated by the partition wall PW, the first light conversion layer WCL1 is formed in the first sub-pixel SPX1, the second light conversion layer WCL2 is formed in the second sub-pixel SPX2, and the light-transmitting layer TPL is formed in the third sub-pixel SPX3 (see Figure 7 ).

[0284] Then, the partition wall PW, the light conversion layers WCL and WCL2, and the light transmission layer TPL (see Figure 7 ) Figure 7 The first overcoat layer OC1, the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, the third color filter CF3 and the second overcoat layer OC2 described in FIG.

[0285] Fig. 27 It is shown in detail Fig.17 Flow chart of step S110. Figures 28 to 34 is a cross-sectional view showing step S110.

[0286] In the following, reference will be made to Figures 27 to 34 A process of transferring a plurality of light emitting elements LE formed on the semiconductor substrate SSUB to the light emitting element substrate ESUB is described in detail.

[0287] First, if Fig.28 As shown in FIG. , a plurality of light emitting elements LE are formed on a semiconductor substrate SSUB. Fig. 27 , or step S111 in the above procedure.

[0288] The semiconductor substrate SSUB may be a silicon wafer substrate or a sapphire substrate. A light emitting element material layer is deposited on the entire semiconductor substrate SSUB. The light emitting element material layer may be formed on the semiconductor substrate SSUB by an epitaxial growth process. As an epitaxial growth process, the method of forming the light emitting element material layer may include electron beam deposition, physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma laser deposition (PLD), dual-type thermal evaporation, sputtering, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), etc. Preferably, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) may be used, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0289] Next, a transparent conductive material layer is formed on the light emitting element material layer. Then, the plurality of semiconductor material layers and the transparent conductive material layer are etched. Fig. 9 As shown in , the light emitting element material layer may include a third semiconductor layer SEM3, a second semiconductor layer SEM2, an active layer MQW, a first semiconductor layer SEM1, a transparent conductive layer TCO, a first contact electrode CTE1, a second contact electrode CTE2 and an element insulating layer INS0.

[0290] Then, after forming a mask pattern on the light emitting element material layer, the light emitting element material layer and the transparent conductive material layer may be etched according to the mask pattern to form a plurality of light emitting elements LE. The mask pattern may be removed after forming the plurality of light emitting elements LE.

[0291] The light emitting element material layer can be etched by dry etching, wet etching, reactive ion etching (RIE), deep reactive ion etching (DRIE), inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE), etc. Dry etching allows anisotropic etching and can be suitable for vertical etching. In the case of dry etching, the etching gas can be Cl 2 or 2 , but not limited to this.

[0292] Then, an opening exposing the second semiconductor layer SEM2 is formed on the transparent conductive layer TCO by an etching process. As described above, the etching process may be a dry etching method, a wet etching method, a reactive ion etching (RIE) method, a deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) method, an inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) method, etc.

[0293] Next, an insulating material layer having a plurality of openings OP1 and OP2 is formed on the semiconductor substrate SSUB on which the light emitting element LE is formed.

[0294] Then, second etching (second etching) is performed to partially remove the insulating material layer to form the light emitting element LE including the element insulating layer INS0.

[0295] Specifically, a second etching (second etching) that partially removes the insulating material layer so that the insulating material layer exposes the top surface of the light emitting element LE but surrounds the side of the light emitting element LE may be performed. Specifically, in this process, at least a portion of the insulating material layer on the top surface of the transparent conductive layer TCO of the light emitting element LE may be removed to define a first opening OP1. In addition, a second opening OP2 may be defined by removing at least a portion of the insulating material layer on the second semiconductor layer SEM2 of the light emitting element LE. The process of partially removing the insulating material layer may be performed by an etching process using a mask.

[0296] Next, a first contact electrode CTE1 in the first opening OP1 and a second contact electrode CTE2 in the second opening OP2 are formed on the light emitting element LE.

[0297] For example, the first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 are formed by stacking a contact electrode material layer on the semiconductor substrate SSUB. Then, the contact electrode material layer is etched by an etching process to form the first contact electrode CTE1 covering the first opening OP1 of the light emitting element LE and the second contact electrode CTE2 covering the second opening OP2. The contact electrode material layer may be formed of a transparent conductive material. For example, the contact electrode material layer may be a transparent conductive oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and / or indium zinc oxide (IZO).

[0298] Second, if Fig.29 As shown in FIG. 1 , a plurality of light emitting elements LE on the semiconductor substrate SSUB are moved to a first adhesive layer ADL1 ( Fig. 27 , or step S112 in the above procedure.

[0299] The first transfer substrate TSUB1 may be made of a transparent material to allow light to pass through. For example, the first transfer substrate TSUB1 may include a transparent polymer such as polyimide, polyester, polyacrylic acid, polyepoxy, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, etc. The first adhesive layer ADL1 disposed on one surface of the first transfer substrate TSUB1 may include an adhesive material for bonding the plurality of light emitting elements LE. For example, the adhesive material may include urethane acrylate, epoxy acrylate, polyester acrylate, etc.

[0300] The first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 of each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE may be bonded to the first adhesive layer ADL1 disposed on the first transfer substrate TSUB1. Then, the plurality of light emitting elements LE may be separated from the semiconductor substrate SSUB by a laser lift-off (LLO) process of irradiating the semiconductor substrate SSUB with a laser. The laser may be a KrF excimer laser having a wavelength of approximately 248 nm, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0301] Third, if Fig.30 As shown in FIG. 1 , a plurality of light emitting elements LE of the first transfer substrate TSUB1 are moved to the first laser separation layer LLO1 ( Fig. 27 , or step S113 in the above procedure.

[0302] The second transfer substrate TSUB2 may be made of a transparent material to allow light to pass therethrough. For example, the second transfer substrate TSUB2 may include a transparent polymer such as polyimide, polyester, polyacrylic acid, polyepoxy, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, etc. The first laser separation layer LLO1 disposed on the second transfer substrate TSUB2 is a layer that is separable by laser irradiation, and may include, for example, a transparent polymer such as polyimide.

[0303] When heat is applied while one surface of each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE is in contact with the first laser separation layer LLO1, each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE may be adhered or fixed to the first laser separation layer LLO1, and as the adhesive force of the first adhesive layer ADL1 is weakened, each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE may be separated from the first adhesive layer ADL1. One surface of each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE may be opposite to the other surface on which the first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 of each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE are disposed.

[0304] Fourth, if Fig.31 As shown in FIG. 1 , the first laser separation layer LLO1 is etched using the plurality of light emitting elements LE as a mask to form a second laser separation layer LLO2 ( Fig. 27, or step S114 in the above procedure.

[0305] Instead of etching the plurality of light emitting elements LE, dry etching is performed using an etching gas (DEG) that etches only the first laser separation layer LLO1. That is, the first laser separation layer LLO1 is etched using the plurality of light emitting elements LE as a mask. As a result, the first laser separation layer LLO1 that does not overlap with the plurality of light emitting elements LE in the thickness direction of the second transfer substrate TSUB2 can be removed. Therefore, the second laser separation layer LLO2 that overlaps with the plurality of light emitting elements LE can be formed in the thickness direction of the second transfer substrate TSUB2. The second laser separation layer LLO2 can be disposed between each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE and the second transfer substrate TSUB2 in the thickness direction of the second transfer substrate TSUB2.

[0306] Fifth, if Fig.32 and Fig.33 As shown in FIG. 1 , by irradiating the second laser separation layer LLO2 with laser, a plurality of light emitting elements LE are transferred to the third adhesive layer ADL3 on the third transfer substrate TSUB3, and the second laser separation layer LLO2 is removed ( Fig. 27 , or step S115 in the above procedure.

[0307] The third transfer substrate TSUB3 may be made of a transparent material to allow light to pass through. For example, the third transfer substrate TSUB3 may include a transparent polymer such as polyimide, polyester, polyacrylic acid, polyepoxy, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, etc. The third adhesive layer ADL3 disposed on one surface of the third transfer substrate TSUB3 may include an adhesive material for bonding the plurality of light emitting elements LE. For example, the adhesive material may include urethane acrylate, epoxy acrylate, polyester acrylate, etc.

[0308] When the first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 of each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE are in contact with the third adhesive layer ADL3 on the third transfer substrate TSUB3 and the laser is irradiated onto the second laser separation layer LLO2, the second laser separation layer LLO2 may be separated into a third laser separation layer LLO3 disposed on one surface of the second transfer substrate TSUB2 and a fourth laser separation layer LLO4 disposed on each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE. Then, the fourth laser separation layer LLO4 remaining on each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE may be removed by a wet etching process. The plurality of light emitting elements LE are not etched, and the fourth laser separation layer LLO4 is etched using an etching material WEG that etches only the fourth laser separation layer LLO4. In one or more embodiments, the adhesive layers ADL1, ADL2, and ADL3 are separated into two laser separation layers by laser irradiation, so that one laser separation layer remains on the relay substrate and the other laser separation layer is disposed on the light emitting element LE, but is not limited thereto. For example, after laser irradiation, the adhesive layers ADL1, ADL2, and ADL3 may remain on the relay substrate or the light emitting element LE, while the adhesive layers ADL1, ADL2, or ADL3 do not exist on the other of the relay substrate and the light emitting element LE. For example, when the second laser separation layer LLO2 is irradiated while the light emitting element LE is in contact with the third adhesive layer ADL3 on the third transfer substrate TSUB3, the second laser separation layer LLO2 may remain on one surface of the second transfer substrate TSUB2 without being disposed on the other side of the light emitting element LE. In this case, the wet etching process for removing the second laser separation layer LLO2 remaining on the light emitting element LE may be omitted.

[0309] Sixth, if Fig.34 As shown in FIG. 1 , a plurality of light emitting elements LE on the third transfer substrate TSUB3 are moved to the fourth adhesive layer ADL4 ( Fig. 27 , or step S116 in the above procedure.

[0310] While one surface of each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE of the third transfer substrate TSUB3 is brought into contact with the fourth adhesive layer ADL4 on the light emitting element substrate ESUB, each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE is separated from the third adhesive layer ADL3. In this case, the adhesive force of the fourth adhesive layer ADL4 may be higher than the adhesive force of the third adhesive layer ADL3. One surface of each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE may be opposite to the other surface of each of the plurality of light emitting elements LE on which the first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 are disposed.

[0311] In one or more embodiments, the following is described: Fig.34, an example of preparing a final interposer substrate by arranging the first contact electrode CTE1 and the second contact electrode CTE2 face-up on the light emitting element substrate ESUB is shown in , but when transferring to a target substrate using a stamp, the light emitting element LE disposed on the final interposer substrate thus prepared can be used. In one or more embodiments, if it is desired to align and transfer the light emitting element LE of the final interposer substrate to the target substrate without using a stamp, then Fig.33 The third transfer substrate TSUB3 can become the light emitting element substrate ESUB as the final interposer. In this case, the reference Fig.34 Step S116 described.
