Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority and benefit to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0073165, filed on June 4, 2024, with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This disclosure relates to a display device with improved image quality. Background Technology
[0003] A head-mounted display (HMD) is an image display device worn on a user's head in the form of glasses or a helmet, and focuses in front of the user's eyes at a distance close to their eyes. Head-mounted displays can enable virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR).
[0004] Head-mounted displays use multiple lenses to magnify and display images from small display devices. Therefore, display devices used in head-mounted displays need to provide high-resolution images, for example, images with a resolution of approximately 3000 pixels per inch (PPI) or higher. For this purpose, silicon-based organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDoS), as small organic light-emitting display devices with relatively high resolution, have been used in head-mounted displays. OLEDoS is a device that displays images by placing organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on a semiconductor wafer substrate on which complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) is disposed.

[0051] Some aspects of this disclosure and methods for implementing some embodiments of this disclosure can be more readily understood by referring to the detailed description and accompanying drawings of the embodiments. The described embodiments are provided as examples so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey all aspects of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Therefore, redundant processes, elements, and techniques that are irrelevant or unrelated to the description of the embodiments, or that are not essential for a person of ordinary skill in the art to fully understand all aspects of this disclosure, may be omitted. Unless otherwise stated, the same reference numerals, characters, or combinations thereof denote the same elements throughout the drawings and written description; therefore, their repeated description may be omitted.
[0052] The described embodiments may have various modifications and may be embodied in different forms, and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments shown herein. The terms "can," "may," or "may not" are used in the described embodiments to correspond to one or more embodiments of this disclosure.
[0053] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, in view of the whole of this disclosure, each suitable feature of the various embodiments of this disclosure may be combined in part or in whole, or in part or in whole with each other, and may be technically interlocked and operated in a variety of suitable ways unless otherwise stated or implied, and each embodiment may also be implemented independently or in combination with each other in any suitable way.
[0054] In the accompanying drawings, the relative dimensions of elements, layers, and regions may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. In other words, the disclosure is not limited thereto because the dimensions and thicknesses of elements in the drawings are arbitrarily shown for ease of description. Additionally, crosshairs and / or shading are typically used in the drawings to clarify the boundaries between adjacent elements. Thus, unless otherwise stated, the presence or absence of crosshairs or shading does not convey or indicate any preference or requirement for specific materials, material properties, dimensions, scale, commonalities between the elements shown, and / or any other characteristics, properties, or characteristics of the elements.
[0055] Various embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views that serve as schematic diagrams of examples and / or intermediate structures. Thus, variations in the shapes shown in the illustrations due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances will be expected. Furthermore, for the purpose of describing embodiments according to the concept of this disclosure, the descriptions of specific structures or functions disclosed herein are merely illustrative. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed herein should not be construed as limited to the shapes shown for elements, layers, or regions, but will include deviations in shape due to, for example, manufacturing processes.
[0056] For example, an injection region shown as rectangular will typically have rounded or curved features at its edges and / or a gradient of injection concentration, rather than a binary variation from the injection region to the non-injection region. Similarly, a buried region formed by injection can induce some injection in the region between the buried region and the surface through which the injection occurs.
[0057] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “lower,” “lower side,” “below,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” “upper side,” “side” (e.g., as in “sidewall”) may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature to another, as shown in the accompanying drawings. It will be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to include not only the orientations depicted in the drawings but also different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, an element described as “below,” “under,” or “below” other elements or features will subsequently be oriented “above” said other elements or features. Thus, the example terms “below” and “below” can encompass both above and below orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptors used herein should be interpreted accordingly. Similarly, when the first part is described as being arranged "on" the second part, this means that the first part is arranged above or below the second part based on the direction of gravity, and is not limited to the upper side of the second part.
[0058] Furthermore, the phrase "in a plan view" refers to the view of the target portion from above, and the phrase "in a schematic sectional view" refers to the view of a schematic section taken by vertically cutting the target portion from the side. The terms "overlapping with" or "overlapping" mean that the first object may be above, below, or to the side of the second object, or vice versa. Additionally, the term "overlapping with" can include stacking, facing or oriented, extending over, covering or partially covering, or any other suitable terminology that will be understood and appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art. The expression "not overlapping" can include meanings such as "separated," "offset," or "deviated," and any other suitable equivalents that will be understood and appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terms "facing" and "oriented" can indicate that the first object may be directly or indirectly opposite the second object. In the case where a third object is located between the first and second objects, although the first and second objects still face each other, they can be understood as being indirectly opposite each other.
[0059] It will be understood that when a component, layer, region, or assembly (e.g., device, apparatus, circuit, wiring, electrode, terminal, conductive film, etc.) is referred to as being "formed on," "on," "connected to," or "(operably, functionally, or communicatively) incorporated into" another component, layer, region, or assembly, that component, layer, region, or assembly may be directly formed on, directly on, directly connected to, or directly incorporated into, the other component, layer, region, or assembly, or indirectly formed on, indirectly on, indirectly connected to, or indirectly incorporated into, the other component, layer, region, or assembly, such that one or more intermediary components, intermediary layers, intermediary regions, or intermediary assemblies may exist. Furthermore, this may collectively mean direct or indirect incorporation or direct connection or indirect connection, as well as integral or non-integral incorporation or integral connection or non-integral connection. For example, when a layer, region, or component is referred to as "electrically connected" or "electrically coupled" to another layer, region, or component, that layer, region, or component may be directly electrically connected or directly electrically coupled to said other layer, region, and / or component, or one or more intermediary layers, intermediary regions, or intermediary components may be present. One or more intermediary components may include switches, transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and / or diodes, etc. Therefore, connections are not limited to those shown in the accompanying drawings or detailed descriptions, and may also include other types of connections. In describing embodiments, unless explicitly described as a direct connection, the expression for connection indicates an electrical connection, and "direct connection / direct coupling" or "directly on..." means that one component is directly connected or coupled to another component, or on another component, without any intermediate components.
[0060] Furthermore, in this specification, when a portion of a layer, film, region, plate, etc., is formed on another portion, the forming direction is not limited to the upward direction, but includes forming the portion on a side surface or in the downward direction. Conversely, when a portion of a layer, film, region, plate, etc., is formed "below" another portion, this includes not only the case where the portion is "directly below" the other portion, but also the case where another portion exists between the portion and the other portion. Similarly, other expressions describing relationships between components, such as "between," "directly between," or "adjacent to," and "directly adjacent to," can be interpreted similarly. It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as "between" two elements or layers, the element or layer can be the only element or layer between the two elements or layers, or there may be one or more intervening elements or layers.
[0061] For the purposes of this disclosure, expressions such as “at least one of…” or “any one of…” or “one or more of…” following a list of elements modify the entire list of elements without modifying any individual elements within the list. For example, “at least one of X, Y, and Z” and “at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z” can be interpreted as any combination of only X, only Y, only Z, two or more of X, Y, and Z (such as XYZ, XYY, YZ, and ZZ), or any variations thereof. Similarly, the expression “at least one of A and B” can include A, B, or A and B. As used herein, “or” generally means “and / or”, and the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, the expression “A and / or B” can include A, B, or A and B. Similarly, expressions such as “at least one of…”, “multiple…”, “one of…”, and other prepositional phrases, when placed before or after a column of elements, modify the entire column of elements without modifying any individual elements within that column. In the case of the statement “C to D”, it means C or more and D or fewer, unless otherwise stated.
[0062] 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 sections, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms do not correspond to a specific order, position, or priority, and are used only to distinguish one element, component, assembly, region, area, layer, section, or part from another. Therefore, without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure, the first element, first assembly, first region, first layer, or first section described below may be referred to as a second element, second assembly, second region, second layer, or second part. Describing an element as a “first” element may not require or imply the presence of a second element or other elements. The terms “first,” “second,” etc., may also be used herein to distinguish elements of different categories or groups. For the sake of brevity, the terms “first,” “second,” etc., may respectively represent “first category (or first group),” “second category (or second group),” etc.
[0063] In this example, the x-axis, y-axis, and / or z-axis are not limited to the three axes of a Cartesian coordinate system and can be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis can be perpendicular to each other, or they can represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. The same applies to the first direction, the second direction, and / or the third direction.
[0064] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form “a” is intended to include the plural form, and the plural form is intended to include the singular form. It will also be understood that when the terms “comprising,” “including,” “having,” and variations thereof are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.
[0065] As used herein, the terms “substantially,” “about,” “approximately,” and similar terms are used as approximate terms rather than as terms of degree and are intended to account for inherent deviations in measured or calculated values that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, “substantially” can include a range of + / - 5% for the corresponding value. As used herein, “about” or “approximately” includes the stated value and means: within an acceptable deviation range for the specific value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, taking into account the measurement being discussed and the errors associated with the measurement of the specific quantity (i.e., limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, ±20%, ±10%, ±5% of the stated value. Furthermore, when describing embodiments of this disclosure, the use of “may” refers to “one or more embodiments of this disclosure.” Additionally, the expression “identical” can mean “substantially identical.” In other words, the expression “identical” can include a range acceptable to one of ordinary skill in the art. Other expressions may also omit the word “substantially.”
[0066] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. It will also be understood that terms (such as those defined in a general dictionary) shall be interpreted as having the same meaning as they have in the relevant field and / or in the context of this specification, and shall not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formalized sense, unless expressly defined herein.
[0067] Figure 1 This is an exploded perspective view showing a display device according to one or more embodiments. Figure 2 This is a block diagram illustrating a display device according to one or more embodiments.
[0068] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The display device 10 according to one or more embodiments is a device for displaying moving or still images. The display device 10 according to one or more embodiments can be applied to portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablet PCs, mobile communication terminals, e-notebooks, e-readers, portable multimedia players (PMPs), navigation devices, and ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs). For example, the display device 10 according to one or more embodiments can be applied as a display unit in a television, laptop computer, monitor, billboard, or Internet of Things (IoT) device. Optionally, the display device 10 according to one or more embodiments can be applied to smartwatches, watch phones, or head-mounted displays (HMDs) for implementing virtual reality and augmented reality.
[0069] The display device 10 according to one or more embodiments includes a display panel 100, a heat dissipation layer 200, a circuit board 300, a timing controller 400, and a power supply unit 500.
[0070] In a plan view, the display panel 100 may have a shape similar to a rectangle. For example, in a plan view, the display panel 100 may have a shape similar to a rectangle having a short side in a first direction DR1 and a long side in a second direction DR2 intersecting the first direction DR1. In the display panel 100, the corner where the short side in the first direction DR1 and the long side in the second direction DR2 intersect may have a rounded or right angle with a curvature (e.g., a predetermined curvature). The shape of the display panel 100 in a plan view is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be a shape similar to other polygonal shapes, circular shapes, or elliptical shapes. The shape of the display device 10 in a plan view may follow the shape of the display panel 100 in a plan view, but one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, the display panel 100 may include a display area DAA for displaying images and a non-display area NDA for not displaying images.
[0072] The display area DAA includes multiple pixels PX1, PX2 and PX3, multiple scan lines GWL and EBL, multiple emission control lines EL and multiple data lines DL.
[0073] Multiple pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3 can be arranged in a matrix on the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. Multiple scan lines GWL and EBL, as well as multiple emission control lines EL, can extend on the first direction DR1 and can be arranged on the second direction DR2. Multiple data lines DL can extend on the second direction DR2 and can be arranged on the first direction DR1.
[0074] Multiple scan lines GWL and EBL include multiple write scan lines GWL and multiple bias scan lines EBL.
[0075] Multiple unit pixels (UPX) include multiple pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3. Multiple pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3 can include, for example... Figure 3 The diagram shows multiple pixel transistors, which can be formed using semiconductor processes and can be located on a semiconductor substrate SSUB (see...). Figure 7 As used here, "located on" can mean "above". For example, the multiple pixel transistors of the data driver 700 can be formed as complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS).
[0076] Each of the multiple pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3 can be connected to any one of the multiple write scan lines GWL, any one of the multiple bias scan lines EBL, any one of the multiple emitt control lines EL, and any one of the multiple data lines DL. Each of the multiple pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3 can receive the data voltage of the data line DL according to the write scan signal of the write scan line GWL, and allow the light-emitting element to emit light according to the data voltage.
[0077] The non-display area NDA includes a scan driver 610, a transmit driver 620, and a data driver 700.
[0078] The scan driver 610 includes multiple scan transistors, and the emitter driver 620 includes multiple light-emitting transistors. The multiple scan transistors and multiple light-emitting transistors can be formed using semiconductor processes and are formed on a semiconductor substrate SSUB (see [link to SSUB]). Figure 7 On the CMOS, for example, multiple scanning transistors and multiple light-emitting transistors can be formed. This has already been implemented. Figure 2 The diagram shows a scan driver 610 located on the left side of the display area DAA and a transmit driver 620 located on the right side of the display area DAA, but one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the scan driver 610 and the transmit driver 620 may be located on both the left and right sides of the display area DAA.
[0079] The scan driver 610 may include a write scan signal output unit 611 and a bias scan signal output unit 612. Each of the write scan signal output unit 611 and the bias scan signal output unit 612 may receive a scan timing control signal SCS from the timing controller 400. The write scan signal output unit 611 may generate a write scan signal according to the scan timing control signal SCS from the timing controller 400, and sequentially output the write scan signal to the write scan line GWL. The bias scan signal output unit 612 may generate a bias scan signal according to the scan timing control signal SCS, and sequentially output the bias scan signal to the bias scan line EBL.
[0080] The transmit driver 620 can generate transmit control signals according to the transmit timing control signal ECS, and output the transmit control signals sequentially to the transmit control line EL.
[0081] The data driver 700 may include multiple data transistors, and the multiple data transistors may be formed by semiconductor processes and formed on a semiconductor substrate SSUB (see Figure 7 For example, multiple data transistors can be formed as CMOS.
[0082] The data driver 700 can receive digital video data DATA and a data timing control signal DCS from the timing controller 400. The data driver 700 converts the digital video data DATA into an analog data voltage according to the data timing control signal DCS and outputs the analog data voltage to the data line DL. In this case, pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3 can be selected by the write scan signal of the scan driver 610, and the data voltage can be supplied to the selected pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3.
[0083] The heat dissipation layer 200 may be stacked on the display panel 100 on a third direction DR3, which is the thickness direction of the display panel 100. The heat dissipation layer 200 may be located on one surface (e.g., the rear surface) of the display panel 100. The heat dissipation layer 200 is used to dissipate heat generated from the display panel 100. The heat dissipation layer 200 may include a layer made of graphite or a metal with high thermal conductivity, such as silver (Ag), copper (Cu), or aluminum (Al).
[0084] Circuit board 300 can be electrically connected to the first pad (also referred to as "soldering pad" or "soldering pad") unit PDA1 of display panel 100 using conductive adhesive components such as anisotropic conductive film (see...). Figure 4 Multiple first pads PD1 (see) Figure 4 The circuit board 300 can be a flexible printed circuit board or a flexible film with a flexible material. Figure 1The circuit board 300 is shown to be unbent, but it can be bent. In this case, one end of the circuit board 300 can be located on the rear surface of the display panel 100 and / or the rear surface of the heat dissipation layer 200. One end of the circuit board 300 can be the first pad unit PDA1 (see [reference]) connected to the display panel 100 using conductive adhesive members. Figure 4 Multiple first pads PD1 (see) Figure 4 The other end opposite to the other end of the ).
[0085] The timing controller 400 can receive digital video data and timing signals from an external source. Based on the timing signals, the timing controller 400 can generate scan timing control signals (SCS), transmit timing control signals (ECS), and data timing control signals (DCS) for controlling the display panel 100. The timing controller 400 can output the scan timing control signal (SCS) to the scan driver 610 and the transmit timing control signal (ECS) to the transmit driver 620. The timing controller 400 can also output digital video data and the data timing control signal (DCS) to the data driver 700.
[0086] The power supply unit 500 can generate multiple panel driving voltages based on an external source voltage.

The thickness of the seventh conductive layer ML7 and the eighth conductive layer ML8 can be substantially the same as each other. For example, the thickness of each of the seventh conductive layer ML7 and the eighth conductive layer ML8 can be approximately 9000 Å. The thickness of the seventh via VA7 and the thickness of the eighth via VA8 can each be approximately 6000 Å.
[0153] The ninth insulating film INS9 can be located on the eighth insulating film INS8 and the eighth conductive layer ML8.

Each of the ninth vias VA9 can be made of any of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), and neodymium (Nd) and their alloys. The thickness of the ninth via VA9 can be approximately 16500 Å.

For example, the reflective electrode layer RL can include... Figure 7 The first to fourth reflective electrodes RL1, RL2, RL3 and RL4 are shown in the figure.
[0157] Each of the first reflective electrodes RL1 may be located on the ninth insulating film INS9 and may be connected to the ninth via VA9. Each of the first reflective electrodes RL1 may be made of any of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), and neodymium (Nd) and their alloys. For example, each of the first reflective electrodes RL1 may include titanium nitride (TiN).
[0158] Each of the second reflective electrodes RL2 may be located on the first reflective electrode RL1. Each of the second reflective electrodes RL2 may be made of any one of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), and neodymium (Nd) and their alloys. For example, each of the second reflective electrodes RL2 may include aluminum (Al).
[0159] Each of the third reflective electrodes RL3 may be located on the second reflective electrode RL2. Each of the third reflective electrodes RL3 may be made of any one of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), and neodymium (Nd) and their alloys. For example, each of the third reflective electrodes RL3 may include titanium nitride (TiN).
[0160] Each of the fourth reflective electrodes RL4 may be located on the third reflective electrode RL3. Each of the fourth reflective electrodes RL4 may be made of any of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), and neodymium (Nd) and their alloys. For example, each of the fourth reflective electrodes RL4 may include titanium (Ti).
[0161] Because the second reflective electrode RL2 is the electrode that essentially reflects light from the light-emitting element LE, the thickness of the second reflective electrode RL2 can be greater than the thickness of the first reflective electrode RL1, the third reflective electrode RL3, and the fourth reflective electrode RL4. For example, the thickness of each of the first reflective electrode RL1, the third reflective electrode RL3, and the fourth reflective electrode RL4 can be approximately 100 Å, and the thickness of the second reflective electrode RL2 can be approximately 850 Å.
[0162] The tenth insulating film INS10 can be located on the ninth insulating film INS9. The tenth insulating film INS10 can be located between horizontally adjacent reflective electrode layers RL. The tenth insulating film INS10 can be located on the reflective electrode layer RL in the third pixel PX3. The tenth insulating film INS10 can be formed based on silicon oxide (SiO2). x The inorganic membrane is described, but one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0163] The eleventh insulating film INS11 can be located on the tenth insulating film INS10 and the reflective electrode layer RL. The eleventh insulating film INS11 can be formed based on silicon oxide (SiO2). x The inorganic film is not limited to this, but one or more embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The tenth insulating film INS10 and the eleventh insulating film INS11 may be optical auxiliary layers through which light emitted from the light-emitting element LE and reflected by the reflective electrode layer RL passes.
[0164] To adjust the resonant distance of light emitted from the light-emitting element LE in at least one of the first pixel PX1, the second pixel PX2, and the third pixel PX3, the tenth insulating film INS10 and the eleventh insulating film INS11 may not be located below the first electrode AND of the first pixel PX1. The first electrode AND of the first pixel PX1 may be located directly on the reflective electrode layer RL. The eleventh insulating film INS11 may be located below the first electrode AND of the second pixel PX2. The tenth insulating film INS10 and the eleventh insulating film INS11 may be located below the first electrode AND of the third pixel PX3.
[0165] In summary, the corresponding distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL can be different in each of the first pixel PX1, the second pixel PX2, and the third pixel PX3. That is, in order to adjust the distance from the reflective electrode layer RL to the second electrode CAT according to the dominant wavelength of light emitted from each of the first pixel PX1, the second pixel PX2, and the third pixel PX3, the presence or absence of the tenth insulating film INS10 and the eleventh insulating film INS11 can be provided in each of the first pixel PX1, the second pixel PX2, and the third pixel PX3. For example, in Figure 7 It has been shown that the distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL in the third pixel PX3 is greater than the distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL in the second pixel PX2, and greater than the distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL in the first pixel PX1. The distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL in the second pixel PX2 is greater than the distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL in the first pixel PX1. However, one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0166] Additionally, while a tenth insulating film INS10 and an eleventh insulating film INS11 have been shown in one or more embodiments of this disclosure, a twelfth insulating film may be added below the first electrode AND of the first pixel PX1. In this case, the eleventh insulating film INS11 and the twelfth insulating film may be located below the first electrode AND of the second pixel PX2, and the tenth insulating film INS10, the eleventh insulating film INS11, and the twelfth insulating film may be located below the first electrode AND of the third pixel PX3.
[0167] Each of the tenth vias VA10 can penetrate the tenth insulating film INS10 and / or the eleventh insulating film INS11 in the second pixel PX2 and the third pixel PX3 to connect to the exposed fourth reflective electrode RL4. Each of the tenth vias VA10 can be made of any of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), and neodymium (Nd) and their alloys. The thickness of the tenth via VA10 in the second pixel PX2 can be less than the thickness of the tenth via VA10 in the third pixel PX3.
[0168] The first electrode AND of each of the light-emitting elements LE can be located on the tenth insulating film INS10 and can be connected to the tenth via VA10. The first electrode AND of each of the light-emitting elements LE can be connected to the drain region DA or source region SA of the pixel transistor PTR via the tenth via VA10, the first reflective electrodes RL1 to the fourth reflective electrodes RL4, the first via VA1 to the ninth via VA9, the first conductive layer ML1 to the eighth conductive layer ML8, and the contact terminal CTE. The first electrode AND of each of the light-emitting elements LE can be made of any of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), and neodymium (Nd) and their alloys. For example, the first electrode AND of each of the light-emitting elements LE can be made of titanium nitride (TiN).
[0169] The pixel-defining film (PDL) may be located in a portion of the first electrode AND of each of the light-emitting elements (LEs). The PDL may cover the edge of the first electrode AND of each of the light-emitting elements (LEs). The PDL is used to separate the first emission region EA1, the second emission region EA2, and the third emission region EA3.
[0170] The first emitting region EA1 can be defined as the region in which the first electrode AND, the light-emitting stack ES, and the second electrode CAT are sequentially stacked in the first pixel PX1 to emit light. The second emitting region EA2 can be defined as the region in which the first electrode AND, the light-emitting stack ES, and the second electrode CAT are sequentially stacked in the second pixel PX2 to emit light. The third emitting region EA3 can be defined as the region in which the first electrode AND, the light-emitting stack ES, and the second electrode CAT are sequentially stacked in the third pixel PX3 to emit light.
[0171] The pixel-defining film (PDL) may include first pixel-defining films to third pixel-defining films PDL1, PDL2, and PDL3. The first pixel-defining film PDL1 may be located on the edge of the first electrode AND of each of the light-emitting elements (LEs), the second pixel-defining film PDL2 may be located on the first pixel-defining film PDL1, and the third pixel-defining film PDL3 may be located on the second pixel-defining film PDL2. The first pixel-defining film PDL1, the second pixel-defining film PDL2, and the third pixel-defining film PDL3 may be formed based on silicon oxide (SiO2). x The inorganic film is described, but one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. The thickness of the first pixel defining film PDL1, the thickness of the second pixel defining film PDL2, and the thickness of the third pixel defining film PDL3 may each be approximately 500 Å.
[0172] When the first pixel-defining film PDL1, the second pixel-defining film PDL2, and the third pixel-defining film PDL3 form a single pixel-defining film, the height of this single pixel-defining film increases, making the first encapsulating inorganic film TFE1 potentially break due to step coverage. Step coverage refers to the ratio of the degree of film coating on the inclined portion to the degree of film coating on the flat portion. The lower the step coverage, the easier it is for the film to break at the inclined portion.
[0173] Therefore, to reduce or prevent the possibility of the first encapsulated inorganic film TFE1 breaking due to step coverage, the first pixel defining film PDL1, the second pixel defining film PDL2, and the third pixel defining film PDL3 can have a cross-sectional structure with steps in a step shape. For example, the width of the first pixel defining film PDL1 can be greater than the width of the second pixel defining film PDL2, and can also be greater than the width of the third pixel defining film PDL3. The width of the first pixel defining film PDL1 refers to its length in the horizontal direction defined by the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2.
[0174] Each of the plurality of trench TRCs can penetrate the first pixel defining film PDL1, the second pixel defining film PDL2, and the third pixel defining film PDL3. Additionally, each of the plurality of trench TRCs can penetrate the eleventh insulating film INS11. In each of the plurality of trench TRCs, the tenth insulating film INS10 can have a portion thereof slotted.
[0175] At least one trench TRC can be located between adjacent pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3. (This is already in place.) Figure 7 The illustration shows two trench TRCs located between adjacent pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3, but one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0176] Light-emitting stacks (ES) can include multiple layers. [This is already in use.] Figure 7 The image shows a light-emitting stack ES having a triple-tandem structure including a first stacked layer IL1, a second stacked layer IL2, and a third stacked layer IL3, but one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the light-emitting stack ES may have a double-tandem structure including two intermediate layers.
[0177] In a three-tiered structure, the light-emitting stack ES can have a series structure comprising multiple stacked layers IL1, IL2, and IL3 that emit different colors of light. For example, the light-emitting stack ES may include a first stacked layer IL1 for emitting light of a first color, a second stacked layer IL2 for emitting light of a third color, and a third stacked layer IL3 for emitting light of a second color. The first stacked layer IL1, the second stacked layer IL2, and the third stacked layer IL3 can be stacked sequentially.
[0178] The first stacked layer IL1 may have a structure in which a first hole transport layer, a first organic light-emitting layer emitting light of a first color, and a first electron transport layer are sequentially stacked. The second stacked layer IL2 may have a structure in which a second hole transport layer, a second organic light-emitting layer emitting light of a third color, and a second electron transport layer are sequentially stacked. The third stacked layer IL3 may have a structure in which a third hole transport layer, a third organic light-emitting layer emitting light of a second color, and a third electron transport layer are sequentially stacked.
[0179] A first charge-generating layer for supplying holes to the second stacked layer IL2 and electrons to the first stacked layer IL1 may be located between the first stacked layer IL1 and the second stacked layer IL2. The first charge-generating layer may include an N-type charge-generating layer that supplies electrons to the first stacked layer IL1 and a P-type charge-generating layer that supplies holes to the second stacked layer IL2. The N-type charge-generating layer may include a dopant of a metallic material.
[0180] A second charge generation layer for supplying holes to the third stacked layer IL3 and electrons to the second stacked layer IL2 may be located between the second stacked layer IL2 and the third stacked layer IL3. The second charge generation layer may include an N-type charge generation layer that supplies electrons to the second stacked layer IL2 and a P-type charge generation layer that supplies holes to the third stacked layer IL3.
[0181] A first stacked layer IL1 may be located on the first electrode AND and the pixel defining film PDL, and may be located on the bottom surface of each of the trench TRCs. Due to the trench TRCs, the first stacked layer IL1 may be disconnected between adjacent pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3. A second stacked layer IL2 may be located on the first stacked layer IL1. Due to the trench TRCs, the second stacked layer IL2 may be disconnected between adjacent pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3. A cavity ESS or empty space may be located between the first stacked layer IL1 and the second stacked layer IL2. A third stacked layer IL3 may be located on the second stacked layer IL2. The third stacked layer IL3 may not be disconnected by the trench TRCs and may be positioned to cover the second stacked layer IL2 in each of the trench TRCs. That is, in a three-in-line structure, each of the plurality of trench TRCs may be a structure for disconnecting the first stacked layer IL1 and the second stacked layer IL2, the first charge generation layer and the second charge generation layer of the display element layer EML between adjacent pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3. In addition, in the two-series structure, each of the multiple trench TRCs can be a structure used to disconnect the charge generation layer located between the lower intermediate layer and the upper intermediate layer from the lower intermediate layer.
[0182] To stably disconnect the first stacked layer IL1 and the second stacked layer IL2 of the display element layer EML between adjacent pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3, the height of each of the plurality of trench TRCs can be greater than the height of the pixel defining film PDL. The height of each of the plurality of trench TRCs refers to the length of each of the plurality of trench TRCs in the third direction DR3. The height of the pixel defining film PDL refers to the length of the pixel defining film PDL in the third direction DR3. To disconnect the first stacked layer IL1 and the second stacked layer IL2 of the display element layer EML between adjacent pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3, other structures other than trench TRCs may exist. For example, a separator wall with an inverted conical shape can be positioned on the pixel defining film PDL instead of a trench TRC.
[0183] The number of stacked layers IL1, IL2, and IL3 that emit different light is not limited to Figure 7 The quantities shown are as follows. For example, the light-emitting stack ES may include two intermediate layers. In this case, either of the two intermediate layers may be substantially the same as the first stack layer IL1, and the other of the two intermediate layers may include a second hole transport layer, a second organic light-emitting layer, a third organic light-emitting layer, and a second electron transport layer. In this case, a charge-generating layer for supplying electrons to either intermediate layer and holes to the other intermediate layer may be located between the two intermediate layers.
[0184] exist Figure 7The first to third stacked layers IL1, IL2, and IL3 have been shown to be located entirely within the first emission region EA1, the second emission region EA2, and the third emission region EA3, but one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the first stacked layer IL1 may be located within the first emission region EA1, but may not be located within the second emission region EA2 or the third emission region EA3. Similarly, the second stacked layer IL2 may be located within the second emission region EA2, but may not be located within the first emission region EA1 or the third emission region EA3. Furthermore, the third stacked layer IL3 may be located within the third emission region EA3, but may not be located within the first emission region EA1 or the second emission region EA2. In this case, the first to third color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3 of the optical layer OPL can be omitted.
[0185] The second electrode CAT can be located on the third stacked layer IL3. The second electrode CAT can be located on the third stacked layer IL3 in each of the multiple trenches of the TRC. The second electrode CAT can be made of a transparent conductive material (TCO) such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO) capable of allowing light to pass through it, or a semi-transmissive conductive material such as magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), or an alloy of magnesium (Mg) and silver (Ag). When the second electrode CAT is made of a semi-transmissive conductive material, the luminous efficiency of each of the first to third pixels PX1, PX2, and PX3 can be increased through the microcavity.
[0186] The encapsulation layer TFE can be located on the display element layer EML. The encapsulation layer TFE may include at least one inorganic film TFE1 or TFE2 to reduce or prevent oxygen or moisture from penetrating into the display element layer EML. For example, the encapsulation layer TFE may include a first encapsulation inorganic film TFE1 and a second encapsulation inorganic film TFE2.
[0187] The first encapsulating inorganic film TFE1 can be located on the second electrode CAT. The first encapsulating inorganic film TFE1 can be formed in which silicon nitride (SiN) is alternately stacked. x ) layer, silicon oxynitride (SiON) layer and silicon oxide (SiO) layer x Multiple films consisting of one or more inorganic films in a layer. The first encapsulated inorganic film TFE1 can be formed by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process.

The second encapsulation inorganic film TFE2 can be formed as titanium oxide (TiO2). x ) layer or aluminum oxide (AlO) xThe second encapsulation inorganic film TFE2 may be formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The thickness of the second encapsulation inorganic film TFE2 may be less than the thickness of the first encapsulation inorganic film TFE1.
[0189] Organic film APL can be a layer used to increase the interfacial adhesion strength between the encapsulation layer TFE and the optical layer OPL. Organic film APL can be an organic film made of acrylic resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamide resin, polyimide resin, etc.
[0190] The optical layer OPL includes multiple color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3, multiple lenses LNS, and a filler layer FIL. The multiple color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3 may include first to third color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3. The first to third color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3 may be located on the organic film APL.
[0191] A first color filter CF1 can be superimposed on a first emission region EA1 of a first pixel PX1. The first color filter CF1 allows light of a first color (i.e., light in the blue band) to pass through it. The blue band can be approximately 370 nm to approximately 460 nm. Therefore, the first color filter CF1 allows light of the first color emitted from the first emission region EA1 to pass through it.
[0192] The second color filter CF2 can be superimposed on the second emission region EA2 of the second pixel PX2. The second color filter CF2 allows light of the second color (that is, light in the green band) to pass through it. The green band can be approximately 480nm to approximately 560nm. Therefore, the second color filter CF2 allows light of the second color emitted from the second emission region EA2 to pass through it.
[0193] The third color filter CF3 can be superimposed on the third emission region EA3 of the third pixel PX3. The third color filter CF3 allows light of the third color (i.e., light in the red band) to pass through it. The blue band can be approximately 600nm to approximately 750nm. Therefore, the third color filter CF3 allows light of the third color emitted from the third emission region EA3 to pass through it.
[0194] Each of the plurality of lenses LNS may be located on each of the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3. Each of the plurality of lenses LNS may be a structure for increasing the ratio of light directed to the front surface of the display device 10. Each of the plurality of lenses LNS may have a profile shape that convexes in the upward direction.
[0195] The filler layer (FIL) can be located on multiple lens lenses (LNS). The filler layer (FIL) can have a refractive index (e.g., a predetermined refractive index) such that light travels in the third direction (DR3) at the interface between the multiple lens lenses (LNS) and the filler layer (FIL). Alternatively, the filler layer (FIL) can be a planarization layer. The filler layer (FIL) can be an organic film made of acrylic resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamide resin, polyimide resin, etc.
[0196] The cover layer CVL can be located on the filler layer FIL. The cover layer CVL can be a glass substrate or a polymeric resin such as a resin. When the cover layer CVL is a glass substrate, it can be attached to the filler layer FIL. In this case, the filler layer FIL can be used to adhere the cover layer CVL. When the cover layer CVL is a glass substrate, it can be used as an encapsulation substrate. When the cover layer CVL is a polymeric resin such as a resin, it can be applied directly to the filler layer FIL.
[0197] The polarizer POL can be located on one surface of the CVL cover layer. The polarizer POL can be a structure used to reduce or prevent visibility degradation due to external light reflection. The polarizer POL can include a linear polarizer and a phase retardation film. For example, the phase retardation film can be a λ / 4 plate (quarter-wave plate), but one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. However, the polarizer POL can be omitted when visibility due to external light reflection is sufficiently improved by the first to third color filters CF1, CF2, and CF3.

[0251] The sixth insulating film INS6' can be located on the fifth conductive layer.
[0252] A sixth conductive layer comprising a plurality of second and fourth sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-4 and a plurality of first and fourth sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-4 may be located on a sixth insulating film INS6'. According to one or more embodiments, the second and fourth sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-4 and the first and fourth sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-4 on the sixth insulating film INS6' may be alternately positioned along a first direction DR1.

[0253] The sub-capacitor electrodes of the first capacitor C1 that are stacked on the third-direction DR3 can be electrically connected to each other. For example, the second first sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-1, the second second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2, the second third sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-3, and the second fourth sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-4 that are stacked on the third-direction DR3 can be connected to each other.

[0254] The sub-capacitor electrodes of the second capacitor C2, which are stacked on the third direction DR3, can be electrically connected to each other. For example, the third first sub-capacitor electrode SUE3-1, the third second sub-capacitor electrode SUE3-2, the third third sub-capacitor electrode SUE3-3, and the third fourth sub-capacitor electrode SUE3-4, which are stacked on the third direction DR3, can be connected to each other.

[0255] According to one or more embodiments, for example, the first capacitor electrode CPE1 connected to the gate node (e.g., first node N1) of the driving transistor (e.g., T1) can be shielded by the second capacitor electrode CPE2. In other words, the outermost sub-capacitor electrode of the second capacitor electrode CPE2 is located outside the outermost sub-capacitor electrode of the first capacitor electrode CPE1. Therefore, the outermost sub-capacitor electrode of the second capacitor electrode CPE2 can be located between the outermost sub-capacitor electrode of the first capacitor C1 and the data line (e.g., the first sub-data line SDL1 or the second sub-data line SDL2). Therefore, the second capacitor electrode CPE2 can reduce or prevent the possibility of coupling between the first capacitor electrode CPE1 connected to the gate node and the data line (e.g., coupling between the first capacitor electrode CPE1 and the data line DL caused by the parasitic capacitance between the first capacitor electrode CPE1 and the data line DL). Therefore, the voltage of the first capacitor electrode CPE1 can be stably maintained even if the voltage of the data line DL changes. Ultimately, regardless of changes in the voltage of the data line DL, the voltage of the gate node (e.g., the first node N1) can be maintained stably. Therefore, fluctuations in the drive current flowing through the drive transistor connected to the gate node can be reduced or minimized. Consequently, the image quality of the display device can be improved.
[0256] As an example, such as Figure 12As shown, when the first sub-capacitor electrode SUE1-2, among the four first and second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2, closest to the first sub-data line SDL1 in the first direction DR1, is defined as the first outermost sub-capacitor electrode, and when the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2, among the five second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-2, closest to the first sub-data line SDL1, is defined as the second outermost sub-capacitor electrode, the second outermost sub-capacitor electrode can be located between the first sub-data line SDL1 and the first outermost sub-capacitor electrode. In other words, when the first sub-capacitor electrode SUE1-2, located at the outermost portion on one side, among the four first and second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2, is defined as the aforementioned first outermost sub-capacitor electrode, and when the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2, located at the outermost portion on one side, among the five second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-2, is defined as the aforementioned second outermost sub-capacitor electrode, the second outermost sub-capacitor electrode can be located between the first sub-data line SDL1 and the first outermost sub-capacitor electrode. Therefore, the possibility of coupling between the first outermost sub-capacitor electrode and the first sub-data line SDL1 can be reduced or prevented by using the second outermost sub-capacitor electrode. Thus, even if the voltage of the first sub-data line SDL1 changes, the voltages of the first and second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2 and the gate nodes connected to the first and second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2 can be stably maintained.
[0257] As another example, such as Figure 12As shown, when the first or third sub-capacitor electrode SUE1-3, among the four first or third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-3, that is closest to the second sub-data line SDL2 in the first direction DR1, is defined as the third outermost sub-capacitor electrode, and when the second or third sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-3, among the five second or third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-3, that is closest to the second sub-data line SDL2, is defined as the fourth outermost sub-capacitor electrode, the fourth outermost sub-capacitor electrode can be located between the second sub-data line SDL2 and the third outermost sub-capacitor electrode. In other words, when the first or third sub-capacitor electrode SUE1-3, among the four first or third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-3, that is located at the outermost portion on one side, is defined as the aforementioned third outermost sub-capacitor electrode, and when the second or third sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-3, among the five second or third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-3, that is located at the outermost portion on one side, is defined as the aforementioned fourth outermost sub-capacitor electrode, the fourth outermost sub-capacitor electrode can be located between the second sub-data line SDL2 and the third outermost sub-capacitor electrode. Therefore, the coupling between the third outermost sub-capacitor electrode and the second sub-data line SDL2 can be reduced or prevented by the fourth outermost sub-capacitor electrode. Thus, although the voltage of the second sub-data line SDL2 changes, the voltage of the first and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-3 and the gate node connected to the first and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-3 can be stably maintained.
[0258] Meanwhile, when one of the four first and second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2 located at the outermost part on the other side is defined as the fifth outermost sub-capacitor electrode, and when one of the five second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-2 located at the outermost part on the other side is defined as the sixth outermost sub-capacitor electrode, the aforementioned four first and second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2 can be located between the aforementioned second outermost sub-capacitor electrode and the sixth outermost sub-capacitor electrode.
[0259] Meanwhile, when one of the four first and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-3 located at the outermost part on the other side is defined as the seventh outermost sub-capacitor electrode, and when one of the five second and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-3 located at the outermost part on the other side is defined as the eighth outermost sub-capacitor electrode, the aforementioned four first and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-3 can be located between the aforementioned fourth outermost sub-capacitor electrode and the eighth outermost sub-capacitor electrode.
[0260] In addition, such as Figure 12As shown, a power line (e.g., the initialization voltage line VIL) is connected between a data line (e.g., the first sub-data line SDL1) and a scan line (e.g., the write scan line GWL). The possibility of coupling between the data line DL and the scan line can be reduced or prevented via the power line. Therefore, the RC delay of the data signal (e.g., the data signal on the data line DL) caused by such coupling can be reduced or minimized.
[0261] At the same time, such as Figure 12 As shown, the data line DL may also include a third sub-data line SDL3. For example, the data line DL may include a first sub-data line SDL1, a second sub-data line SDL2, and a third sub-data line SDL3 connected to each other through vias VA5' and VA6'.
[0262] The third sub-data line SDL3 can be located on the same layer as the second and fourth sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-4. For example, the third sub-data line SDL3 can be located on the sixth insulating film INS6'.
[0263] According to one or more embodiments, the data lines may include multiple sub-data lines interconnected on a third-direction DR3. In this case, the resistance of the data lines can be reduced, thereby further reducing or minimizing the RC delay of the data signal.
[0264] Figure 13 yes Figure 9 A magnified view of region A.
[0265] like Figure 13 As shown, the end 11 of the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2 located at the outermost portion among the plurality of second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-2 and the end 12 of the first connection portion 131 between the plurality of first sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2 can be aligned with each other. For example, the end 11 of the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2 located at the outermost portion and the end 12 of the first connection portion 131 can be located on the virtual first line VL1. Therefore, the first connection portion 131 between the first sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2 can be shielded by the outermost second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2.
[0266] In addition, such as Figure 13As shown, the end 21 of the fourth second sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2 located at the outermost portion among the plurality of fourth second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE4-2 and the end 22 of the second connection portion 132 between the plurality of third second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE3-2 can be aligned with each other. For example, the end 21 of the fourth second sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2 located at the outermost portion and the end 22 of the second connection portion 132 can be located on the virtual second line VL2. Therefore, the second connection portion 132 between the third second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE3-2 can be shielded by the outermost fourth second sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2.
[0267] Meanwhile, the first connecting portion 131 and the second connecting portion 132 can be connected to the first and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-3 and the third sub-capacitor electrode SUE3-3 through the contact hole CT of the insulating film.
[0268] at the same time, Figure 10 Each of the first and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-3, the second and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-3, the third and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE3-3, and the fourth and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE4-3 may also have the same characteristics as described above. Figure 13 The constructed described are the same as the constructed.
[0269] Figure 14 It is a view used to describe the arrangement of sub-capacitor electrodes between multiple data lines that are adjacent to each other.
[0270] like Figure 14 As shown, among the plurality of second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-2, the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2 located at the outermost portion on one side can be positioned adjacent to the first sub-data line SDL1 of the first data line, and another second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2 located at the outermost portion on the other side can be positioned adjacent to the first sub-data line SDL1' of the second data line.
[0271] like Figure 14 As shown, the fourth second sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2 located at the outermost portion on one side of the plurality of fourth second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE4-2 can be positioned adjacent to the first sub-data line SDL1 of the first data line, and another fourth second sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2 located at the outermost portion on the other side of the plurality of fourth second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE4-2 can be positioned adjacent to the first sub-data line SDL1' of the second data line.

[0273] Figure 15 The display panel 100 and the reference above Figure 12 The difference in the described display panel 100 lies in the arrangement of the sub-data cables, and this difference will be mainly described below.
[0274] like Figure 15 As shown, the data line DL may include a first sub-data line SDL1 and a second sub-data line SDL2. Additionally, the data line DL may also include at least one of a third sub-data line SDL3 and a fourth sub-data line SDL4. For example, the data line DL may include the first sub-data line SDL1, the second sub-data line SDL2, the third sub-data line SDL3, and the fourth sub-data line SDL4 connected to each other via vias VA4', VA5', and VA6'.
[0275] The third sub-data line SDL3 can be located on the same layer as the second first sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-1. For example, the third sub-data line SDL3 can be located on the third insulating film INS3'.
[0276] The fourth sub-data line SDL4 can be located on the same layer as the second and fourth sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-4. For example, the fourth sub-data line SDL4 can be located on the sixth insulating film INS6'.
[0277] According to one or more embodiments, the data line DL may include multiple sub-data lines connected to each other on the third-direction DR3. In this case, the resistance of the data line DL can be reduced, thereby further reducing or minimizing the RC delay of the data signal.
[0278] Figure 16 It is a cross-sectional view of a display panel according to yet another or one other embodiment.
[0279] Figure 16 The display panel 100 and the reference above Figure 12 The difference in the described display panel 100 lies in the arrangement of the sub-data cables, and this difference will be mainly described below.
[0280] like Figure 16 As shown, the data line DL may include a first sub-data line SDL1 as a single sub-data line. Simultaneously, the data line DL may also include at least one of a second sub-data line SDL2 and a third sub-data line SDL3. For example, the data line DL may include a first sub-data line SDL1, a second sub-data line SDL2, and a third sub-data line SDL3 connected to each other via vias VA4' and VA5'.
[0281] The second sub-data line SDL2 can be located on the same layer as the second first sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-1. For example, the second sub-data line SDL2 can be located on the third insulating film INS3'.
[0282] The third sub-data line SDL3 can be located on the same layer as the second and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-3. For example, the third sub-data line SDL3 can be located on the fifth insulating film INS5'.
[0283] According to one or more embodiments, the data line DL may include multiple sub-data lines connected to each other on the third-direction DR3. In this case, the resistance of the data line DL can be reduced, thereby further reducing or minimizing the RC delay of the data signal.
[0284] Figure 17 It is a cross-sectional view of a display panel according to yet another or one other embodiment.
[0285] Figure 17 The display panel 100 and the reference above Figure 12 The difference in the described display panel 100 lies in the arrangement of the sub-data lines and the arrangement of some conductive layers, which will be mainly described below.
[0286] like Figure 17 As shown, the data line DL may include a first sub-data line SDL1 and a second sub-data line SDL2. Additionally, the data line may also include at least one of a third sub-data line SDL3 and a fourth sub-data line SDL4. For example, the data line may include the first sub-data line SDL1, the second sub-data line SDL2, the third sub-data line SDL3, and the fourth sub-data line SDL4 connected to each other via vias VA3', VA4', and VA5'.
[0287] The third sub-data line SDL3 can be located on the same layer as the second first sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-1. For example, the third sub-data line SDL3 can be located on the second insulating film INS2'.
[0288] The fourth sub-data line SDL4 can be located on the same layer as the second and fourth sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-4. For example, the fourth sub-data line SDL4 can be located on the fifth insulating film INS5'.
[0289] According to one or more embodiments, the data line DL may include multiple sub-data lines connected to each other on the third-direction DR3. In this case, the resistance of the data line DL can be reduced, thereby further reducing or minimizing the RC delay of the data signal.
[0290] In addition, such as Figure 17As shown, the initialization voltage line VIL and the drive voltage line VDL can be located on the first capacitor C1.
[0291] At the same time, such as in Figure 12 , Figure 15 and Figure 17 In the example shown, in the cross-sectional view, the data line DL may be located on the same layer as the intermediate sub-capacitor electrode of the first capacitor C1. The intermediate sub-capacitor electrode may refer to the sub-capacitor electrode positioned in the middle of a plurality of sub-capacitor electrodes stacked on top of each other in the vertical direction (e.g., the third direction DR3) in the cross-sectional view. Figure 12 , Figure 15 and Figure 17 The intermediate sub-capacitor electrodes may include, for example, multiple first and second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2, multiple second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-2, multiple first and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-3, and multiple second and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-3. The first sub-data line SDL1 of the data line DL may be located on the same layer as the multiple first and second capacitor electrodes SUE1-2 and the multiple second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-2. Additionally, the second sub-data line SDL2 of the data line DL may be located on the same layer as the multiple first and third capacitor electrodes SUE1-3 and the multiple second and third sub-capacitor electrodes SUE2-3.
[0292] Additionally, as in Figure 16 In the example shown, in the cross-sectional view, the data line DL can be located on the same layer as the intermediate sub-capacitor electrode of the first capacitor C1. Here, Figure 16 The intermediate sub-capacitor electrodes may include, for example, multiple first and second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2. The data line DL or the first sub-data line SDL1 may be located on the same layer as the multiple first and second sub-capacitor electrodes SUE1-2.
[0293] Figure 18 This is a view illustrating one or more other embodiments of a sub-capacitor electrode in a display device according to one or more embodiments. For example, Figure 18 It can be Figure 9 Enlarged views of one or more other embodiments of region A.
[0294] The second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2 and the fourth sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2, located on the same layer and at the outermost portion, can have an embossed pattern. For example, the facing ends of the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2 and the fourth sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2 can both have embossed patterns. In this case, the concave portion of the end of the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2 can be positioned to correspond to the convex portion of the end of the fourth sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2, and the convex portion of the end of the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2 can be positioned to correspond to the concave portion of the end of the fourth sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2.
[0295] Therefore, according to one or more embodiments, such as Figure 18 As shown, the end of the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2 may include a first extension portion EX1 extending toward the end of the fourth sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2, and the end of the fourth sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2 may include a second extension portion EX2 extending toward the end of the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2. In this case, the first extension portion EX1 and the second extension portion EX2 may extend from different regions of their respective ends in a direction opposite to the second direction DR2, so as not to face each other. In other words, the first extension portion EX1 may be located outside the second extension portion EX2, closer to the data line DL than the second extension portion EX2. At the same time, the first extension portion EX1 and the second extension portion EX2 may face each other along the first direction DR1.
[0296] like Figure 18 As shown, when the second sub-capacitor electrode SUE2-2 and the fourth sub-capacitor electrode SUE4-2 respectively include the first extension portion EX1 and the second extension portion EX2, the coupling between the connection portions 131 and 132 and the adjacent data line DL can be further reduced or minimized, thereby further improving the image quality of the display device 10.

Figure 19 and Figure 20 The first eyepiece 1210 and the second eyepiece 1220 have been shown to be positioned separately, but one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. The first eyepiece 1210 and the second eyepiece 1220 may be combined into a single eyepiece.
[0305] The first eyepiece 1210 can be aligned with the first display device 10_1 and the first optical component 1510, and the second eyepiece 1220 can be aligned with the second display device 10_2 and the second optical component 1520.

[0306] The headband 1300 is used to secure the display device housing 1100 to the user's head, such that the first eyepiece 1210 and the second eyepiece 1220 of the housing cover 1200 can be held in a position where they are respectively positioned over the user's left and right eyes.

[0310] The display device housing 1200_1 may include a display device 10_3, an optical component 1060, and a light path conversion component 1070. The image displayed on the display device 10_3 can be magnified by the optical component 1060, converted into the light path by the light path conversion component 1070, and provided to the user's right eye through the right eye lens 1020. Therefore, the user can view an augmented reality image in which a virtual image displayed on the display device 10_3 through his / her right eye and a real image seen through the right eye lens 1020 are combined.
[0311] Although already Figure 21 The diagram shows the display device housing 1200_1 located at the right end of the support frame 1030, but one or more embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the display device housing 1200_1 may be located at the left end of the support frame 1030, in which case the image on the display device 10_3 can be provided to the user's left eye.
