[0050] FIG. 3 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a subpixel according to one embodiment.
[0051] Referring to FIG. 3, each subpixel (SPX) of a display device (1) according to one embodiment includes, in addition to a light-emitting element (LE), three transistors (DTR, STR1, STR2) and one storage capacitor (CST).
[0052] The light-emitting element (LE) emits light according to the current supplied through the driving transistor (DTR). The light-emitting element (LE) can be implemented as an inorganic light-emitting diode, an organic light-emitting diode, a micro light-emitting diode, a nano light-emitting diode, etc.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 4, a display device (1) according to one embodiment may include a first display substrate (100), a second display substrate (200) facing the first display substrate (100), a bonding member (SM) that bonds the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200), and a filling member (300) filled between the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200).
[0062] The first display substrate (100) may include a first substrate (110), a circuit layer (120), and a light-emitting element layer (LEL). The first substrate (110) may be an insulating substrate. The first substrate (110) may include a transparent material. For example, the first substrate (110) may include a transparent insulating material such as glass, quartz, etc. The first substrate (110) may be a rigid substrate. However, the first substrate (110) is not limited thereto and may include a plastic such as polyimide, etc., and may have flexible characteristics that allow it to be bent, folded, or rolled.
[0063] The circuit layer (120) drives each subpixel and can be disposed on the first substrate (110). The circuit layer (120) can be disposed between the first substrate (110) and the light-emitting element layer (LEL). The light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be disposed on the circuit layer (120). The description of the light-emitting element layer (LEL) and the circuit layer (120) has been described above and will be omitted.
[0064] The second display substrate (200) may include a second substrate (210), a light-blocking member (BML), and a color conversion layer (CCL). The second substrate (210) may be identical to the first substrate (110) described above.
[0065] A color conversion layer (CCL) may be disposed on one side of a second substrate (210) facing a first substrate (110). The color conversion layer (CCL) can convert, transmit, or block the wavelength of light emitted from a light-emitting element layer (LEL) to convert it into light of a desired wavelength band. The color conversion layer (CCL) may include a wavelength conversion member comprising a color filter and / or quantum dots.
[0066] A light-blocking member (BML) may be placed between color conversion layers (CCL) corresponding to the boundaries of each subpixel of the first substrate (110). Additionally, the light-blocking member (BML) may be placed in areas that partially correspond to the light-emitting element layer (LEL) and do not overlap with the light-emitting element layer (LEL). One side of the second substrate (210) facing the first substrate (110) may be entirely covered by the aforementioned color conversion layers (CCL) and light-blocking member (BML).
[0067] A bonding member (SM) may be placed between the first substrate (110) and the second substrate (210). The bonding member (SM) may be placed in a non-display area (NDA in FIG. 1) other than the display area (DPA in FIG. 1) where light is emitted. The bonding member (SM) may be placed to surround the display area to bond and bond the first substrate (110) and the second substrate (210).
[0068] The filling member (300) may be placed between the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200). The filling member (300) may fill the space between the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200) and serve to bond and bond them together. Additionally, the filling member (300) may minimize the difference in refractive index between the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200) and prevent the penetration of moisture.
[0069] The above-described filling member (300) can be manufactured by applying it onto a first display substrate (100) or a second display substrate (200), bonding the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200), and then curing it. The filling member (300) includes resin, and to cure this resin, a method of thermal curing or photocuring may be considered. Among these, as a method of curing the filling member (300) using photocuring, light can be irradiated from the bottom of the first display substrate (100) or from the top of the second display substrate (200). However, when light is irradiated from the bottom of the first display substrate (100), it is difficult for UV light to pass through due to the many wires of the circuit layer (120), and when light is irradiated from the top of the second display substrate (200), the light-blocking member (BML) and the color conversion layer (CCL) block the light, so consequently, it is difficult to irradiate UV light from both directions. In addition, in the case of a curing method for a filling member (300) using thermal curing, there is a concern that the heat may damage the light-emitting element layer (LEL), so the selection of temperature is limited, and if the heat is not evenly transferred, the uniformity of curing may decrease. Hereinafter, in one embodiment, a display device (1) capable of photocuring of a filling member (300) is disclosed.
[0070] FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a display device according to one embodiment. FIG. 6 is a graph showing the absorption rates of photoinitiators by wavelength band. FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment in which the light-emitting element layer (LEL) includes an organic light-emitting diode.
[0071] Referring to FIG. 5, a top-emission type display device (1) is illustrated in which light (L) is emitted in the opposite direction (towards the second substrate (210)) rather than in the direction of the first substrate (110) on which the light-emitting layer (EML) is formed. However, it is not limited thereto, and it may be a bottom-emission type display device (1) on which light is emitted in the direction of the first substrate (110) on which the light-emitting layer (EML) is formed, or a double-sided light-emitting type display device (1) on which light is emitted in both directions of the first substrate (110) and the second substrate (210).
[0072] The display device (1) may include a first display substrate (100), a second display substrate (200) facing the first display substrate (100), a filling member (300), and a coupling member (SM).
[0073] The first display substrate (100) may include a first substrate (110), a circuit layer (120), and a light-emitting element layer (LEL). The circuit layer (120) may be positioned across a display area (DPA) and a non-display area (NDA), and the light-emitting element layer (LEL) may be positioned in the display area (DPA). The first substrate (110) and the circuit layer (120) have been described above, so a description is omitted.
[0074] A light-emitting element layer (LEL) may be disposed on a circuit layer (120). The light-emitting element layer (LEL) may include a pixel electrode (PXE), a light-emitting layer (EML), and a common electrode (CME).
[0075] Multiple pixel electrodes (PXE) may be arranged for each subpixel. The pixel electrodes (PXE) of adjacent subpixels may be separated from each other. The pixel electrode (PXE) may be a first electrode of a light-emitting diode, for example, an anode electrode. The pixel electrode (PXE) may have a stacked film structure in which a layer of a material with a high work function such as indium-tin-oxide (ITO), indium-zinc-oxide (IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), or indium oxide (In2O3) is stacked with a layer of a reflective material such as silver (Ag), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), platinum (Pt), lead (Pd), gold (Au), nickel (Ni), neodymium (Nd), iridium (Ir), chromium (Cr), lithium (Li), calcium (Ca), or a mixture thereof is stacked. A material layer with a high work function can be positioned above the reflective material layer and close to the emissive layer (EML). The pixel electrode (PXE) may have a multilayer structure of ITO / Mg, ITO / MgF, ITO / Ag, or ITO / Ag / ITO, but is not limited thereto.
[0076] A pixel defining film (PDL) may be disposed along the boundary of a subpixel on one side of a first substrate (110). The pixel defining film (PDL) is disposed on a pixel electrode (PXE) and may include an opening that exposes the pixel electrode (PXE). A light-emitting region (EMA) and a non-light-emitting region (NEM) may be separated by the pixel defining film (PDL) and the opening. The pixel defining film (PDL) may include an organic insulating material such as polyacrylates resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamides resin, polyimides resin, unsaturated polyesters resin, polyphenylene ethers resin, polyphenylenesulfides resin, or benzocyclobutene (BCB). The pixel defining film (PDL) may also include an inorganic material.
[0077] A light-emitting layer (EML) may be disposed on a pixel electrode (PXE) exposed by a pixel defining film (PDL). In one embodiment where the display device (1) is an organic light-emitting display device, the light-emitting layer (EML) may include an organic layer containing an organic material. The organic layer includes an organic light-emitting layer and, in some cases, may further include at least one of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer as an auxiliary layer that assists in light emission.
[0078] In some embodiments, the light-emitting layer (EML) may have a tandem structure comprising a plurality of organic light-emitting layers overlapped in the thickness direction and a charge-generating layer disposed between them. Each overlapped organic light-emitting layer may emit light of the same wavelength, but may also emit light of different wavelengths. At least some of the layers of the light-emitting layer (EML) of each pixel (PX) may be separated from the same layer of an adjacent pixel (PX).
[0079] In one embodiment, the wavelength of light emitted by each light-emitting layer (EML) may be the same for each subpixel. For example, the light-emitting layer (EML) of each color pixel (PX) emits white light, and the color control structure described below includes a color conversion layer (CCL), thereby allowing the color of each subpixel to be displayed. For example, the light-emitting layer (EML) may emit white light by stacking organic light-emitting layers that emit blue and yellow light.
[0080] A common electrode (CME) may be disposed on the light-emitting layer (EML). The common electrode (CME) may be in contact not only with the light-emitting layer (EML) but also with the upper surface of the pixel defining film (PDL). The common electrode (CME) may be connected without distinction between each subpixel. The common electrode (CME) may be a front electrode disposed across the entire surface. The common electrode (CME) may be a second electrode of the light-emitting diode, for example, a cathode electrode.
[0081] The common electrode (CME) may include a layer of material with a low work function, such as Li, Ca, LiF / Ca, LiF / Al, Al, Mg, Ag, Pt, Pd, Ni, Au, Nd, Ir, Cr, BaF, Ba, or compounds or mixtures thereof (e.g., a mixture of Ag and Mg). The common electrode (CME) may further include a transparent metal oxide layer disposed on the layer of material with a low work function.
[0082] The pixel electrode (PXE), the light-emitting layer (EML), and the common electrode (CME) can form a light-emitting element layer (LEL). Light emitted from the light-emitting layer (EML) can be emitted upward through the common electrode (CME).
[0083] A thin film encapsulation structure (170) may be disposed on the upper portion of the common electrode (CME). The thin film encapsulation structure (170) may include at least one thin film encapsulation layer. For example, the thin film encapsulation layer may include a first inorganic film (171), an organic film (172), and a second inorganic film (173). The first inorganic film (171) and the second inorganic film (173) may each include silicon nitride (SiNx), silicon oxide (SiOx), or silicon oxynitride (SiOxNy), etc. The organic film (172) may include an organic insulating material such as an acrylic resin (polyacrylates resin), an epoxy resin, a phenolic resin, a polyamide resin, a polyimide resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, a polyphenylene ethers resin, a polyphenylene sulfide resin, or benzocyclobutene (BCB).
[0084] The second display substrate (200) may be positioned opposite to the thin film encapsulation structure (170) on the upper side. The second display substrate (200) may include a second substrate (210) and a color conversion layer (CCL). The second substrate (210) may include a transparent insulating material such as glass, quartz, etc. The second substrate (210) may be a rigid substrate. However, the second substrate (210) is not limited thereto, and the second substrate (210) may include a plastic such as polyimide, etc., and may have flexible properties that allow it to be bent, folded, or rolled.
[0085] The second substrate (210) may be the same substrate as the first substrate (110), but may differ in material, thickness, transmittance, etc. For example, the second substrate (210) may have a higher transmittance than the first substrate (110). The second substrate (210) may be thicker than the first substrate (110) or thinner than it.
[0086] A light-blocking member (BML) may be disposed along the boundary of a subpixel on one side of a second substrate (210) facing the first substrate (110). The light-blocking member (BML) may overlap with the pixel defining film (PDL) of the first display substrate (100) and may be located in a non-emissive region (NEM). The light-blocking member (BML) may include an opening that exposes one side of the second substrate (210) that overlaps with an emissive region (EMA). The light-blocking member (BML) may be formed in a grid shape in a planar view.
[0087] The light-blocking element (BML) may be composed of organic materials. The light-blocking element (BML) can reduce color distortion caused by external light reflection by absorbing external light. Additionally, the light-blocking element (BML) can serve to prevent light emitted from the light-emitting layer (EML) from intruding into adjacent subpixels.
[0088] In one embodiment, the light-blocking member (BML) can absorb all visible light wavelengths. The light-blocking member (BML) may include a light-absorbing material. For example, the light-blocking member (BML) may be made of a material used as a black matrix of the display device (1).
[0089] A color filter layer (CFL) may be disposed as a color conversion layer on one side of a second substrate (210) on which a light-blocking member (BML) is disposed. The color filter layer (CFL) may be disposed on one side of the second substrate (210) that is exposed through an opening of the light-blocking member (BML). Furthermore, the color filter layer (CFL) may also be partially disposed on an adjacent light-blocking member (BML). The color filter layer (CFL) may be disposed overlapping the display area (DPA), and the light-blocking member (BML) may be disposed across the display area (DPA) and the non-display area (NDA).
[0090] A color filter layer (CFL) may include a first color filter layer (CFL1), a second color filter layer (CFL2), and a third color filter layer (CFL3). Each color filter layer (CFL) may include a colorant, such as a dye or pigment, that absorbs wavelengths other than the corresponding color wavelength. The first color filter layer (CFL1) may be a red color filter layer, the second color filter layer (CFL2) may be a green color filter, and the third color filter layer (CFL3) may be a blue color filter layer. Although the drawing illustrates a case where adjacent color filter layers (CFLs) are spaced apart from each other on a light-blocking member (BML), adjacent color filter layers (CFLs) may overlap at least partially on the light-blocking member (BML). The color filter layer (CFL) illustrated in FIG. 5 may emit three types of light, red, green, and blue, respectively, through red, green, and blue color filter layers. However, it is not limited to this, and may further include a white transparent portion in which the white light of the light-emitting element layer (LEL) is emitted as is, thereby emitting four types of light: white, red, green, and blue.
[0091] The light-blocking member (BML) and the color-converting layer (CCL) described above can cover one side of the second substrate (210) entirely. For example, the light-blocking member (BML) and the color-converting layer (CCL) may be disposed on one side of the second substrate (210) corresponding to the light-emitting element layer (LEL) of the first substrate (110), and the light-blocking member (BML) may be disposed on the area of one side of the second substrate (210) that does not overlap with the light-emitting element layer (LEL). As the light-blocking member (BML) and the color-converting layer (CCL) cover one side of the second substrate (210) corresponding to the first substrate (110), light irradiated from the outside is blocked or absorbed by the light-blocking member (BML) and the color-converting layer (CCL). In one embodiment, as described below, since light cannot be incident from the outside, the filling member (300) can be cured using the light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL).
[0092] A first capping layer (220) may be disposed on the color filter layer (CFL). The first capping layer (220) can prevent impurities, such as moisture or air, from penetrating from the outside and damaging or contaminating the color filter layer (CFL). Additionally, the first capping layer (220) can prevent the pigment of the color filter layer (CFL) from spreading to other compositions.
[0093] The first capping layer (220) may be in direct contact with one side of the color filter layer (CFL). The first capping layer (220) may be made of an inorganic material. For example, the first capping layer (220) may be made of silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, zirconium nitride, titanium nitride, hafnium nitride, tantalum nitride, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, tin oxide, silicon oxynitride, etc.
[0094] A bonding member (SM) may be disposed between the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200). The bonding member (SM) may be disposed overlappingly in the non-display area (NDA) and may bond and bond the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200) to each other. The bonding member (SM) may include, but is not limited to, a sealant containing organic material or a frit containing inorganic material.
[0095] A filling member (300) may be disposed between the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200). The filling member (300) fills the space between the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200), while also serving to bond and bond them together. The filling member (300) may be disposed across the display area (DPA) and the non-display area (NDA). The filling member (300) may be disposed between the thin film encapsulation structure (170) of the first display substrate (100) and the first capping layer (220) of the second display substrate (200).
[0096] The filling member (300) can be formed by applying a filling member composition to one surface of the first display substrate (100) or the second display substrate (200), aligning and bonding the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200), and curing the filling member composition by irradiating light.
[0097] In one embodiment, the filling member (300) may include an acrylate-based monomer, a photoinitiator, and a crosslinking agent.
[0098] Acrylate monomers may include materials with low viscosity to facilitate coating, for example, having a viscosity of 5 cp or less. Acrylate monomers may include one or more selected from the group consisting of hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA), ethylene glycol diacrylate (EGDA), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), trimethylolpropane ethoxy triacrylate (TMPEOTA), glycerin propoxylated triacrylate (GPTA), pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETA), and dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate (DPHA). However, they are not limited thereto.
[0099] The photoinitiator may include a material capable of being initiated by absorbing light in the visible light wavelength band. In one embodiment, the filling member (300) can be cured using light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL). To this end, the photoinitiator may include a material capable of being initiated by absorbing light in the wavelength band of 380 nm to 500 nm, which corresponds to the wavelength band of light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL).
[0100] For example, the photoinitiator may comprise one or more selected from the group consisting of diphenyl-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phosphine oxide (TPO), lucirin-diphenyl-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phosphine oxide (LTPO), bis-(4-methoxybenzoyl)diethylgermanium (Ivocerin), camphorquinone (CQ), and 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione (PPD), but is not limited thereto.
[0102]
[0103]
[0104] As shown in FIG. 6, the above-described photoinitiators can be initiated by absorbing light in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 500 nm.
[0105] A crosslinking agent can serve to polymerize acrylate monomers. The crosslinking agent may include, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of cyanur chloride, trimethoyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, epichlorohydrin, dibromobenzene, glutaraldehyde, phenylene diisocyanate, tolylein diisocyanate, divinylsulfone, 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole, and alkoxysilanes. However, it is not limited thereto.
[0106] The acrylate-based monomer included in the above-described filling member (300) may be included in an amount of 98% to 99.8% by weight of the total weight of the filling member composition, the photoinitiator may be included in an amount of 0.1% to 1% by weight of the total weight of the filling member composition, and the crosslinking agent may be included in an amount of 0.1% to 1% by weight of the total weight of the filling member composition.
[0107] When the acrylate-based monomer, photoinitiator, and crosslinking agent are each mixed within the above-mentioned content ranges, the filling member (300) can provide the viscosity required for the process and can have rigidity and adhesive strength capable of resisting external forces. The filling member composition for manufacturing the filling member (300) can have a viscosity of 1 cp to 10 cp to facilitate application.
[0108] Additionally, the filling member (300) may further include additives. The additives may include, for example, adhesion promoters, anti-yellowing agents, antioxidants, etc., but are not limited thereto.
[0109] The filling member (300) may have a refractive index of 1 or greater to minimize the difference in refractive index at the interfaces between the first display substrate (100) and the filling member (300) and between the filling member (300) and the second display substrate (200). In an exemplary embodiment, the refractive index of the filling member (300) may be 1.5 to 1.7.
[0110] The above-described filling member (300) can be photocured by irradiating it with light in the visible light wavelength range. In one embodiment, the filling member (300) can be cured using light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) of the first display substrate (100).
[0111] FIGS. 7 to 9 are cross-sectional views showing a method for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment, by process. FIGS. 7 to 9 may correspond to the schematic diagram of the display device shown in FIG. 4.
[0112] Referring to FIG. 7, a second substrate (210) is prepared, and a light-blocking member (BML) and a color conversion layer (CCL) are formed on the second substrate (210). The light-blocking member (BML) can be formed by photolithography, and the color conversion layer (CCL) can be formed in areas partitioned by the light-blocking member (BML). The color conversion layer (CCL) can be formed by photolithography or inkjet. A bonding member (SM) is formed on the second substrate (210) on which the color conversion layer (CCL) and the light-blocking member (BML) are formed. The bonding member (SM) can be formed by inkjet printing, dispensing, screen printing, etc. The bonding member (SM) is formed on the light-blocking member (BML) and can be formed to surround the color conversion layer (CCL).
[0113] Next, referring to FIG. 8, a filling member (300) is formed on one side of a second substrate (210) on which a light-blocking member (BML), a color conversion layer (CCL), and a bonding member (SM) are formed. The filling member (300) can be formed by inkjet printing, dispensing, screen printing, etc. When the filling member (300) is applied, the bonding member (SM) acts as a dam to prevent the filling member (300) from overflowing.
[0114] Next, referring to FIG. 9, a first substrate (110) having a circuit layer (120) and a light-emitting element layer (LEL) formed thereon is prepared. The circuit layer (120) is formed on the first substrate (110) by a photolithography method, etc., and the light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be formed on the circuit layer (120) by a photolithography or inkjet method, etc. Additionally, an inspection pad (IPP) capable of performing a lighting inspection, etc., can be formed on the edge of the first substrate (110).
[0115] Next, the first substrate (110) and the second substrate (210) are aligned and bonded together. In this case, the first substrate (110) and the second substrate (210) can be aligned and bonded so that the light-emitting element layer (LEL) of the first substrate (110) and the color conversion layer (CCL) of the second substrate (210) face each other. The filling member (300) can be in contact with the circuit layer (120) and the light-emitting element layer (LEL) formed on the first substrate (110). The bonding member (SM) can be in contact with the circuit layer (120) formed on the first substrate (110).
[0116] Next, a signal is applied to the circuit layer (120) to drive the light-emitting element layer (LEL). The entire light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be driven to emit light. In an exemplary embodiment, the process of driving the light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be performed simultaneously with an inspection process, such as a lighting inspection of the display device (1). The inspection process can drive the entire light-emitting element layer (LEL) to emit light by applying a signal through the inspection pad (IPP) of the first substrate (110). The light-emitting element layer (LEL) can emit white light from the light-emitting layer. This white light can be irradiated onto a filling member (300) disposed on the light-emitting element layer (LEL) to photo-cur the filling member (300). As described above, the filling member (300) may include a photoinitiator that can be initiated by absorbing light in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 500 nm. Accordingly, the filling member (300) can be initiated and photocured by white light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL).
[0117] Since the light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) is emitted to the side and top of the light-emitting element layer (LEL), it can be irradiated entirely onto the filling member (300) covering the light-emitting element layer (LEL). Since the photoinitiator included in the filling member (300) initiates the reaction with only 1 to 2 photons, the filling member (300) can be cured entirely without any incomplete curing.
[0118] Next, light is irradiated onto the bonding member (SM) to photo-cure the bonding member (SM). At this time, even if there is a partially uncured filling member (300) located far from the light-emitting element layer (LEL), it can be photo-cured together with the bonding member (SM) by the light irradiated onto the bonding member (SM). In this way, a display device (1) according to one embodiment can be manufactured.
[0119] As described above, a display device (1) according to one embodiment forms a filling member (300) comprising a photoinitiator that absorbs light in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 500 nm, and can photo-cur the filling member (300) with light emitted from a light-emitting element layer (LEL) within the display device (1). Accordingly, there are no restrictions on equipment or processes when curing the filling member (300), and reliability issues of the light-emitting element that may occur during thermal curing can be prevented.
[0120] Meanwhile, the display device (1) illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 discloses an embodiment in which white light is emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL). Below, embodiments in which blue light is emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) of the display device (1) are disclosed.
[0121] FIG. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating one example of a display device according to another embodiment. FIG. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating another example of a display device according to another embodiment.
[0122] Referring to FIG. 10, this embodiment differs from the previously described embodiment in that the light-emitting element layer (LEL) emits blue light and the color conversion layer (CCL) further includes a light-transmitting layer (TPL) and a wavelength conversion layer (WCL). Below, descriptions that overlap with the previously described embodiment will be omitted, and the differences will be explained.
[0123] The display device (1) may include a first display substrate (100), a second display substrate (200) facing the first display substrate (100), a filling member (300), and a coupling member (SM).
[0124] The first display substrate (100) may include a first substrate (110), a circuit layer (120), and a light-emitting element layer (LEL). The light-emitting element layer (LEL) may include a pixel electrode (PXE), a light-emitting layer (EML), and a common electrode (CME).
[0125] In one embodiment, the wavelength of light emitted by each light-emitting layer (EML) may be the same for each subpixel. For example, the light-emitting layer (EML) of each subpixel emits blue light and can display the color for each subpixel through the color conversion layer (CCL) described later.
[0126] The second display substrate (200) may include a second substrate (210) and a color conversion layer (CCL). The color conversion layer (CCL) may include a color filter layer (CFL), a light-transmitting layer (TPL), and a wavelength conversion layer (WCL).
[0127] A color filter layer (CFL) may be disposed on one side of a second substrate (210) on which a light-blocking member (BML) is disposed. The color filter layer (CFL) may include a first color filter layer (CFL1) and a second color filter layer (CFL2). The first color filter layer (CFL1) may be a red color filter layer, and the second color filter layer (CFL2) may be a green color filter. In the drawing, a color filter layer is not disposed on a subpixel adjacent to the second color filter layer (CFL2), so that blue light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be transmitted as is without color conversion. Therefore, three types of light, such as red, green, and blue, can be emitted.
[0128] A first capping layer (220) may be disposed on a color filter layer (CFL), and a partition (PTL) may be disposed on the first capping layer (220). The partition (PTL) may be located in a non-emissive region (NEM). The partition (PTL) may be disposed to overlap with a light-blocking member (BML). The partition (PTL) may include an opening that exposes the color filter layer (CFL). The partition (PTL) may be made of a photosensitive organic material, but is not limited thereto. The partition (PTL) may further include a light-blocking material.
[0129] A wavelength conversion layer (WCL) and a light-transmitting layer (TPL) may be disposed within the space exposed by the opening of the partition wall (PTL). The wavelength conversion layer (WCL) and the light-transmitting layer (TPL) may be formed by an inkjet process using the partition wall (PTL) as a bank, but are not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the wavelength conversion layer (WCL) may include a first wavelength conversion pattern (WCL1) overlapping with a first color filter layer (CFL1), and a second wavelength conversion pattern (WCL2) overlapping with a second color filter layer (CFL2). A light-transmitting layer (TPL) may be disposed in a subpixel adjacent to the second wavelength conversion pattern (WCL2).
[0130] The first wavelength conversion pattern (WCL1) may include a first base resin (BRS1) and a first wavelength conversion material (WCP1) disposed within the first base resin (BRS1). The second wavelength conversion pattern (WCL2) may include a second base resin (BRS2) and a second wavelength conversion material (WCP2) disposed within the second base resin (BRS2). The light-transmitting layer (TPL) may include a third base resin (BRS3) and a scatterer (SCP) disposed within it.
[0131] The first to third base resins (BRS1, BRS2, BRS3) may include a transparent organic material. For example, the first to third base resins (BRS1, BRS2, BRS3) may be composed of an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, a cardo resin, or an imide resin. The first to third base resins (BRS1, BRS2, BRS3) may all be composed of the same material, but are not limited thereto.
[0132] The scattering body (SCP) may be a metal oxide particle or an organic particle. Examples of the metal oxide may include titanium oxide (TiO2), zirconium oxide (ZrO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), indium oxide (In2O3), zinc oxide (ZnO), or tin oxide (SnO2), and examples of the organic particle material may include acrylic resin or urethane resin.
[0133] The first wavelength conversion material (WCP1) may be a material that converts blue light into red light, and the second wavelength conversion material (WCP2) may be a material that converts blue light into green light. The first wavelength conversion material (WCP1) and the second wavelength conversion material (WCP2) may be quantum dots, quantum rods, phosphors, etc. The quantum dots may include group IV nanocrystals, group II-VI compound nanocrystals, group III-V compound nanocrystals, group IV-VI nanocrystals, or a combination thereof. The first wavelength conversion pattern (WCL1) and the second wavelength conversion pattern (WCL2) may further include a scatterer (SCP) that increases wavelength conversion efficiency.
[0134] The light-transmitting layer (TPL) transmits the blue light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) as is. The scattering agent (SCP) of the light-transmitting layer (TPL) can play a role in controlling the emission path of light emitted through the light-transmitting layer (TPL). The light-transmitting layer (TPL) may not contain wavelength conversion material.
[0135] A second capping layer (230) is disposed on the wavelength conversion layer (WCL), the light-transmitting layer (TPL), and the barrier (PTL). The second capping layer (230) may be made of an inorganic material. The second capping layer (230) may be made of a material selected from among the materials listed as the material of the first capping layer (220). The second capping layer (230) and the first capping layer (220) may be made of the same material, but are not limited thereto.
[0136] In one embodiment, blue light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be converted into red light in a first wavelength conversion pattern (WCL1) and emitted as red light through a first color filter layer (CFL1). Additionally, blue light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be converted into green light in a second wavelength conversion pattern (WCL2) and emitted as green light through a second color filter layer (CFL2). Furthermore, blue light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be emitted as is through a light-transmitting layer (TPL). Accordingly, the display device (1) can implement red, green, and blue light.
[0137] A coupling member (SM) and a filling member (300) may be disposed between the first display substrate (100) and the second display substrate (200). According to one embodiment, the filling member (300) may be photocured by blue light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) in the display device (1) by including a photoinitiator in the visible light wavelength band.
[0138] Referring to FIG. 11, a display device (1) according to another example may include a fourth color filter layer (CFL4) in which the color conversion layer (CCL) is a yellow color filter, unlike the embodiment of FIG. 10. The fourth color filter layer (CFL4) can prevent blue light from being mixed with red light and green light converted from the first wavelength conversion pattern (WCL1) and the second wavelength conversion pattern (WCL2).
[0139] In one embodiment, blue light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be converted into red light at the first wavelength conversion pattern (WCL1) and emitted as red light through the fourth color filter layer (CFL4). Additionally, blue light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be converted into green light at the second wavelength conversion pattern (WCL2) and emitted as green light through the fourth color filter layer (CFL4). Furthermore, blue light emitted from the light-emitting element layer (LEL) can be emitted as is through the light-transmitting layer (TPL). Accordingly, the display device (1) can implement red, green, and blue light.
