[0039] The present invention will now be more fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which various embodiments are shown. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals always refer to the same elements.

[0040] It will be understood that although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or portions, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or portion from another element, component, region, layer or portion. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer or portion discussed below may be referred to as a second element, component, region, layer or portion without departing from the teachings herein.

[0041] The terms used in this article are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to be limited. As used in this article, "one", "the (described)" and "at least one" do not represent the limitation of quantity, and unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, it is intended to include both the singular and the plural. For example, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, "element" has the same meaning as "at least one element". "At least one" should not be interpreted as being limited to "one". "Or" means "and / or". As used in this article, the term "and / or" includes any combination and all combinations of one or more related listed items. It will be further understood that when used in this specification, the term "includes" or "comprising" and / or its variations indicate the existence of stated features, regions, entireties, steps, operations, elements and / or parts, but does not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, regions, entireties, steps, operations, elements, parts and / or its groups.

[0042] In addition, relative terms such as "lower" or "bottom" and "upper" or "top" may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element to another element illustrated in the drawings. It will be understood that, in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings, relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device. For example, if the device in one of the drawings is turned over, the element described as being on the "lower" side of the other element will then be oriented on the "upper" side of the other element. Therefore, depending on the specific orientation of the drawings, the term "lower" can include both "lower" and "upper" orientations. Similarly, if the device in one of the drawings is turned over, the element described as being "below" or "below" the other element will be oriented "above" the other element. Therefore, the term "below..." or "below..." can include both upper and lower orientations.

[0043] In addition, when a part such as a layer, film, region, or plate is referred to as being “on” or “on” another part, this includes not only the case where it is “directly on” the other part but also includes the case where other parts are present therebetween.

[0044] In contrast, when a part is referred to as being "directly on" another part, it means there is no other part in between.

[0045] Additionally, “above” or “on” a reference portion means positioned above or below the reference portion, and does not necessarily mean positioned “above” or “on” it in the opposite direction of gravity.

[0046] In addition, throughout the specification, when reference is made to a “plan view”, it means when a target portion is viewed from above, and when reference is made to a “cross-sectional view”, it means when a vertically cut cross section of the target portion is viewed from the side.

[0047] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. It will be further 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 the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless so explicitly defined herein.

[0048] Embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of ideal embodiments. As such, variations in the shapes of the illustrations due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances will be expected. Therefore, the embodiments described herein should not be interpreted as being limited to the specific shapes of the zones as illustrated herein, but will include deviations in shapes caused, for example, by manufacturing. For example, a zone illustrated or described as flat may typically have rough and / or nonlinear features. Moreover, the illustrated sharp corners may be rounded. Therefore, the zones illustrated in the accompanying drawings are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shapes of the zones and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0049] In the following, reference will be made to Figure 1 A display device according to the embodiment is described.

[0050] Figure 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a display device according to an embodiment.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 , the display device 1000 according to the embodiment may include a display panel DP and a housing HM.

[0052] One surface of the display panel DP on which an image is displayed is parallel to a surface defined by the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2.

[0053] The third direction DR3 indicates a normal direction of one surface on which an image is displayed, that is, a thickness direction of the display panel DP.

[0054] The front surface (or upper surface) and the rear surface (or lower surface) of each member are divided by the third direction DR3.

[0055] However, the directions indicated by the first to third directions DR1, DR2, and DR3 may be converted into other directions in a relative concept.

[0056] The display panel DP may be a flat rigid display panel, but is not limited thereto, and may also be a flexible display panel.

[0057] In an embodiment, the display panel DP may be an organic light emitting display panel.

[0058] However, the type of the display panel DP is not limited thereto and may include various types of panels.

[0059] In an embodiment, for example, the display panel DP may be a liquid crystal display panel, an electrophoretic display panel, an electrowetting display panel, or the like.

[0060] Alternatively, the display panel DP may be a next-generation display panel such as a micro light emitting diode (LED) display panel, a quantum dot LED display panel, and a quantum dot organic LED display panel.

[0061] The micro LED display panel is formed in such a manner that each pixel is constituted by an LED having a size of 10 micrometers to 100 micrometers.

[0062] Such a micro LED display panel has advantages such as use of inorganic materials, omission of backlight, fast response speed, high brightness with low power consumption, and no breakage when bent.

[0063] The quantum dot LED display panel is formed by attaching a film containing quantum dots or forming a material containing quantum dots.

[0064] Quantum dots are composed of inorganic materials such as indium and cadmium, and refer to particles that emit light by themselves and have a diameter of several nanometers or less.

[0065] By adjusting the particle size of quantum dots, it is possible to display light of a desired color.

[0066] The quantum dot organic LED display panel uses a blue organic LED as a light source, on which a film containing red and green quantum dots is attached or a material containing red and green quantum dots is deposited to achieve color.

[0067] The display panel DP according to the embodiment may include various other display panels.

[0068] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the display panel DP includes a display area DA displaying an image and a non-display area PA adjacent to the display area DA.

[0069] The non-display area PA is a region where no image is displayed.

[0070] For example, the display area DA may have a rectangular shape, and the non-display area PA may have a shape surrounding the display area DA.

[0071] However, the shapes of the display area DA and the non-display area PA may be relatively designed without being limited thereto.

[0072] The housing HM provides a predetermined inner space.

[0073] The display panel DP is installed inside the housing HM.

[0074] In addition to the display panel DP, various electronic components such as a power supply unit, a storage device, and an audio input / output module may be mounted inside the housing HM.

[0083] The first color conversion portion CC1 overlaps the first pixel PA1, the second color conversion portion CC2 overlaps the second pixel PA2, and the transmissive portion CC3 overlaps the third pixel PA3.

[0084] Light emitted from the first pixel PA1 may pass through the first color conversion portion CC1 to provide red light LR.

[0085] Light emitted from the second pixel PA2 may pass through the second color conversion portion CC2 to provide green light LG.

[0086] Light emitted from the third pixel PA3 may pass through the transmissive portion CC3 to provide blue light LB.

[0087] In the following, reference will be made to Figures 3 to 5 The structure of the display panel according to the embodiment is described in more detail.

[0092] In an embodiment, for example, the blue light emitting area BLA, the red light emitting area RLA, and the green light emitting area GLA may correspond to a blue pixel, a red pixel, and a green pixel, respectively.

[0093] Although each light emitting region is shown as a rectangle in a plan view, it may have other shapes such as a rhombus, a pentagon, and an octagon and may have various shapes and areas according to embodiments.

[0115] In such an embodiment, the passivation layer IL2 covers and planarizes the interlayer insulating layer IL1 , the source electrode SE, and the drain electrode DE, so that the first electrode E1 may be formed on the passivation layer IL2 without a step.

[0116] The passivation layer IL2 may include or be made of an organic material such as a polyacrylate resin or a polyimide resin, or a laminated film of an organic material and an inorganic material.

[0211] In the display panel DP according to the embodiment, the first color conversion layer CCL1 color-converts the incident light (i.e., converts the color of the incident light) into red light and emits red light. In addition, the second color conversion layer CCL2 color-converts the incident light into green light and emits green light. However, the light incident on the transmission layer TL is transmitted without color conversion.

[0212] The incident light may include blue light. The incident light may be blue light alone or a mixture of blue light and green light. Alternatively, the incident light may include blue light, green light and red light.

In other words, the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 may extend continuously in the non-display area PA.

[0219] The first, second, and third color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3 may serve as light blocking members to prevent the non-display area PA from being observed.

[0220] In an embodiment, the second partition wall BK2 may be positioned between the insulating layer IL3 and the encapsulation layer ENC. The second partition wall BK2 may include the same material as the first partition wall BK1 or be formed of the same material as the first partition wall BK1 in the same process.

Figure 3 An embodiment having a structure in which the first part P1 and the second part P2 are arranged in the order of first part P1 / second part P2 / first part P1 / second part P2 / first part P1 is shown, but the utility model is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the first part P1 and the second part P2 may be arranged in the order of second part P2 / first part P1 / second part P2 / first part P1.

[0225] According to an embodiment, in a process of combining the display unit DC and the color conversion unit CC, a material (eg, filler) for forming the filling layer FL may be applied to the first and second partition walls BK1 and BK2 .

[0226] In this process, the filling material is restricted from moving by the second partition wall BK2, and there may be a height difference between the filling layer FL positioned in the non-display area PA and the filling layer FL positioned in the display area DA. The height difference may appear or be observed as color spots at the edge of the display area DA.

[0227] According to the embodiment, the second partition wall BK2 positioned in the non-display area PA includes the second portion P2 , which may allow the filler to smoothly move to form a filling material of uniform thickness even in the non-display area PA, and thus may be able to provide the filling layer FL having a uniform thickness.

[0228] Accordingly, the distance between the display unit DC and the color conversion unit CC can be kept uniform, and coloring at the edge of the display area DA can be restricted. A display device with improved display quality can be provided.

The second portion P2 may have a second length L2 from a boundary between the display area DA and the non-display area PA to the second end E2. In this case, the first length L1 may be greater than the second length L2.

[0234] The first portions P1 and the second portions P2 may be alternately disposed along the second direction DR2. Figure 6 An embodiment having a structure in which the first part P1 and the second part P2 are arranged in the order of first part P1 / second part P2 / first part P1 / second part P2 / first part P1 is shown, but the utility model is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the first part P1 and the second part P2 may be arranged in the order of second part P2 / first part P1 / second part P2 / first part P1.

[0235] According to an embodiment, in a process of combining the display unit DC and the color conversion unit CC, a material (eg, a filling material) for forming the filling layer FL is provided on the first and second partition walls BK1 and BK2 .

[0236] In this process, movement of the filler may be restricted by the second partition wall BK2 , and a height difference may occur between the filling layer FL positioned in the non-display area PA and the filling layer FL positioned in the display area DA.

[0237] The height difference may appear or be observed as color spots at the edge of the display area DA. According to an embodiment, the second partition wall BK2 positioned in the non-display area PA includes a second portion P2 that is more recessed from the non-display area PA than the first portion P1, and may be able to provide a filling layer FL having a uniform thickness by allowing a filler to smoothly move through the second portion P2.

[0238] Accordingly, the distance between the display unit DC and the color conversion unit CC may be maintained uniform, and coloring at the edge of the display area DA may be restricted.

[0239] In the following, reference will be made to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 A display panel according to an alternative embodiment is described.

[0240] Fig. 9 is based on Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of a display panel of an alternative embodiment, and Fig.10 is based on Figure 6 A cross-sectional view of a display panel of an alternative embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, for the convenience of description, any repeated detailed description of constituent elements that are the same as or similar to the above-mentioned constituent elements will be omitted or simplified.

[0242] The first color converting layer CCL1 , the second color converting layer CCL2 , and the transmissive layer TL may be positioned in the first opening OP1 of the first partition wall BK1 .

[0243] The filling layer FL is between the partition walls BK1 and BK2 and the color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3, between the first color conversion layer CCL1 and the color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3, between the second color conversion layer CCL2 and the color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3, and between the transmission layer TL and the color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3.

[0244] The filling layer FL may contact one surface of the color conversion layers CCL1 and CCL2 , the transmission layer TL, and the partition walls BK1 and BK2 .

[0245] In addition, the filling layer FL may contact one surface of the insulating layer IL3 .

[0246] exist Fig. 9 In the embodiment of Figure 4 Compared with the embodiment of FIG. 1 , the position of the filling layer FL can be modified.

[0247] Except according to Fig.10 The color conversion unit CC of the embodiment may include a first partition wall BK1 and a second partition wall BK2 positioned on the encapsulation layer ENC, Fig.10 and Figure 7 The embodiments are similar.

[0248] The first color converting layer CCL1 , the second color converting layer CCL2 , and the transmissive layer TL may be positioned in the first opening OP1 of the first partition wall BK1 .

[0249] The filling layer FL is between the partition walls BK1 and BK2 and the color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3, between the first color conversion layer CCL1 and the color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3, between the second color conversion layer CCL2 and the color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3, and between the transmission layer TL and the color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3.

[0250] The filling layer FL may contact one surface of the color conversion layers CCL1 and CCL2 , the transmission layer TL, and the partition walls BK1 and BK2 .

[0251] In addition, the filling layer FL may contact one surface of the insulating layer IL3 .

[0254] In such a process, the filling material is restricted in movement by the second partition wall BK2 , and a height difference between the filling layer FL positioned in the non-display area PA and the filling layer FL positioned in the display area DA may occur.

[0255] This height difference may appear or be observed as color spots at the edge of the display area DA. According to an embodiment, the second partition wall BK2 positioned in the non-display area PA includes the second portion P2. In such an embodiment, since the filler can be allowed to move smoothly even in the non-display area PA to form a filling material of uniform thickness, it may be possible to provide a filling layer FL having a uniform thickness. Accordingly, the appearance of color spots at the edge of the display area DA can be limited.
