For example, the bright spot (s1) may not be included in the content in the screen (401) that the DDI (230) intends to display. In other words, the bright spot (s1) may not be intended by the processor (120) and / or the DDI (230). For example, while the DDI (230) controls the display (400) to display black on the entire area of ​​the screen (401), an area of ​​the screen (401) where the bright spot (s1) is located may be configured to emit brighter light than other areas of the screen (401) where the bright spot (s1) is not located. For example, the brightness (or luminance) of an area of ​​the screen (401) where the bright spot (s1) is located may be 5% or more higher than the brightness (or luminance) of other areas of the screen (401) where the bright spot (s1) is not located, but is not limited thereto. When the bright spot (s1) is included in the display (400), the display (400) may not be able to smoothly provide visual information to the user. Hereinafter, a structure for compensating for (or removing) the bright spot (s1) of the display (400) will be described.

[0058] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an exemplary display according to one embodiment, taken along line A-A' of FIG. 3.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 4, a display (400) according to one embodiment may include a substrate (410), a light-emitting layer (420), an encapsulating layer (430), a filter layer (440), a flattening layer (450), an adhesive layer (460), a cover layer (470), a plurality of transparent members (480), and / or a blocking member (490).

[0060] In one embodiment, the substrate (410) may support various components included in the display (400). For example, the substrate (410) may support conductive lines (411). The conductive lines (411) may be disposed on the substrate (410). For example, the conductive lines (411) may form at least a portion of a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) for controlling the operation of the display (400). For example, the plurality of TFTs may be formed based on low temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) or low temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO). In one embodiment, the substrate (410) may include a substantially opaque material. The substrate (410) may be formed (or fabricated) of a substantially opaque material. For example, the substrate (410) may include silicon. For example, the substrate (410) may be referred to as a silicon substrate. Since the substrate (410) can support various components of the display (400), the substrate (410) may be referred to as a base layer.

[0061] According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer (420) may be disposed on (or on) the substrate (410). For example, the light-emitting layer (420) may be disposed on (or on) one side (410a) of the substrate (410). A first direction (e.g., +z direction) toward which the one side (410a) of the substrate (410) faces may be substantially the same as a direction in which the display (400) emits light. According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer (420) may include a plurality of light-emitting elements (421), a plurality of first electrodes (422), at least one second electrode (423), an organic layer (424), and / or a plurality of partition walls (425). For example, since the display (400) includes a substrate (410) formed of a silicon material and a light-emitting layer (420) formed of an organic material, the display (400) may be referred to as an OLEDoS (OLED (organic light emitting diodes) on Si (silicon)).

[0062] According to one embodiment, the plurality of light-emitting elements (421) may be configured to emit light. For example, the plurality of light-emitting elements (421) may be configured to emit light in a first direction (e.g., +z direction), which is a direction in which one surface (410a) of the substrate (410) faces. The number of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421) may correspond to the number of sub-pixels (400-1, 400-2, 400-3) in the display (400). The sub-pixels (400-1, 400-2, 400-3) may emit light toward the outside of the display (400). For example, one sub-pixel for emitting red light, two sub-pixels for emitting green light, and / or one sub-pixel for emitting blue light may define (or form) each of the pixels of the display (400). Each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421) may be defined (or formed) by a plurality of first electrodes (422), at least one second electrode (423), an organic layer (424), and / or a plurality of partition walls (425). For example, the plurality of light-emitting elements (421) may be referred to as a plurality of light-emitting portions, but is not limited thereto.

[0063] According to one embodiment, a plurality of first electrodes (422) may be disposed on (or above) a substrate (410). The plurality of first electrodes (422) may be electrically connected to, for example, conductive lines (411) that form (or define) at least a portion of the plurality of TFTs. The plurality of first electrodes (422) may be spaced apart from each other. For example, the plurality of first electrodes (422) may be spaced apart from each other along a second direction (e.g., the +x direction and / or the -x direction) that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction (e.g., the +z direction). For example, the plurality of first electrodes (422) may be anodes. When the plurality of first electrodes (422) are anodes, the plurality of first electrodes (422) may transfer (or emit) holes to the organic layer (424) by an electric field applied from the plurality of TFTs. However, this is not limited thereto. For example, the plurality of first electrodes (422) may be cathodes. According to one embodiment, the number of the plurality of first electrodes (422) may correspond to the number of sub-pixels (400-1, 400-2, 400-3) included in the display (400). For example, the number of the plurality of first electrodes (422) may correspond to the number of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421).

[0064] According to one embodiment, at least one second electrode (423) may be disposed on (or above) the plurality of first electrodes (422). For example, the at least one second electrode (423) may be spaced apart from the plurality of first electrodes (422) along a first direction (e.g., +z direction). The at least one second electrode (423) may be disposed on (or above) the plurality of partition walls (425). The at least one second electrode (423) may extend along the plurality of partition walls (425). For example, the at least one second electrode (423) may have a shape extending along a second direction (e.g., +x direction and / or -x direction) that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction (e.g., +z direction). Meanwhile, although FIG. 4 illustrates that the at least one second electrode (423) has a shape that does not include a step, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one second electrode (423) may have a shape corresponding to the shape (or arrangement) of the plurality of partition walls (425). For example, at least one second electrode (423) may be a cathode. When at least one second electrode (423) is a cathode, at least one second electrode (423) may transfer (or emit) electrons to the organic layer (424) by an electric field applied from the plurality of TFTs. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one second electrode (423) may be an anode.

[0065] According to one embodiment, the organic layer (424) can emit light based on energy generated by electrons and holes from the plurality of first electrodes (422) and at least one second electrode (423). For example, as holes and electrons transferred from each of the plurality of first electrodes (422) and at least one second electrode (423) are transferred to the organic layer (424), the organic layer (424) can emit light in a first direction (e.g., the +z direction). The organic layer (424) can be disposed on (or above) the plurality of first electrodes (422). For example, the organic layer (424) can be interposed (or disposed) between the plurality of first electrodes (422) and at least one second electrode (423). For example, the organic layer (424) can be in contact with the plurality of first electrodes (422). At least a portion of the organic layer (424) may be disposed on the plurality of partition walls (425). For example, a portion of the organic layer (424) may fill a space between the plurality of partition walls (425). For example, another portion of the organic layer (424) may be in contact with one surface of each of the plurality of partition walls (425) facing the first direction (e.g., +z direction). Meanwhile, although FIG. 4 illustrates that the organic layer (424) has a shape that does not include a step, it is not limited thereto. For example, the organic layer (424) may have a shape corresponding to the shape (or arrangement) of the plurality of partition walls (425). The organic layer (424) may be configured to emit light of a specified color. For example, the organic layer (424) may be configured to emit white light, but is not limited thereto. For example, the organic layer (424) may include portions disposed within each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421) that are disconnected from each other so as to emit light having blue, green, and / or red colors.

[0066] According to one embodiment, the plurality of partition walls (425) may define (or separate) sub-pixels (400-1, 400-2, 400-3) within the display (400). At least a portion of each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421) may be disposed (or interposed) between the plurality of partition walls (425). For example, each of the plurality of partition walls (425) may define (or separate) sub-pixels (400-1, 400-2, 400-3) within the display (400) by surrounding at least a portion of the plurality of first electrodes (422). For example, the plurality of partition walls (425) may be referred to as a pixel definition layer (PDL).

[0067] In one embodiment, the encapsulating layer (430) can encapsulate the light-emitting layer (420). For example, the encapsulating layer (430) can reduce (or block) the inflow of foreign substances (e.g., moisture) and / or oxygen into the plurality of light-emitting elements (421). The encapsulating layer (430) can be disposed on the light-emitting layer (420). For example, the encapsulating layer (430) can be in contact with the light-emitting layer (420). For example, the encapsulating layer (430) can be disposed between (or interposed between) the light-emitting layer (420) and the plurality of transparent members (480). The encapsulating layer (430) can be formed of one or more inorganic films that are laminated on each other. For example, the encapsulating layer (430) can include one or more organic films and one or more inorganic films that are laminated on each other. For example, the encapsulation layer (430) may be referred to as a thin film encapsulation layer (TFE).

[0068] According to one embodiment, a filter layer (440) may be disposed (or interposed) between the sealing layer (430) and the plurality of transparent members (480). The filter layer (440) may include a plurality of color filters (441) and a plurality of first black matrices (BMs) (442). The plurality of color filters (441) may change the color of light from each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421) passing through the plurality of color filters (441). For example, each of the plurality of color filters (441) may change white light transmitted from each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421) to one of red light, blue light, and / or green light. Each of the plurality of color filters (441) may correspond to each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421). Each of the plurality of color filters (441) may be disposed on (or above) each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421). The plurality of color filters (441) may be spaced apart from the substrate (410) along a first direction (e.g., +z direction). The plurality of color filters (441) may be spaced apart from each other. For example, the plurality of color filters (441) may be spaced apart from each other along a second direction (e.g., +x direction and / or -x direction) that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction (e.g., +z direction). Each of the plurality of first BMs (442) may absorb a portion of light from each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421). For example, each of the plurality of first BMs (442) may be formed of a substantially opaque material. For example, each of the plurality of first BMs (442) may be formed of a material for absorbing light (e.g., a black-based material). A plurality of first BMs (442) may define (or distinguish) each of the sub-pixels (400-1, 400-2, 400-3). The plurality of first BMs (442) may be arranged between the plurality of color filters (441). The plurality of first BMs (442) may be spaced apart from each other.For example, the plurality of first BMs (442) may be spaced apart from each other along a second direction (e.g., +x direction and / or -x direction) that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction (e.g., +z direction).

[0069] In one embodiment, the planarization layer (450) can compensate for (or remove) a step on the filter layer (440). The planarization layer (450) can be disposed on the filter layer (440). For example, the planarization layer (450) can be in contact with the filter layer (440). The planarization layer (450) can be formed of a substantially transparent material. For example, the planarization layer (450) can be referred to as a passivation layer, but is not limited thereto.

[0070] According to one embodiment, the adhesive layer (460) may be disposed (interposed) between the flattening layer (450) and the cover layer (470). The adhesive layer (460) may be disposed on a plurality of transparent members (480). The adhesive layer (460) may surround (or enclose) the plurality of transparent members (480). For example, the adhesive layer (460) may be formed of a substantially transparent material. For example, the adhesive layer (460) may be formed of an optically clear adhesive (OCA), but is not limited thereto.

[0071] In one embodiment, the cover layer (470) may protect components within the display (400). For example, the cover layer (470) may be exposed to the outside of the display (400). When the cover layer (470) is exposed to the outside of the display (400), the cover layer (470) may define (or form) the outer surface of the display (400), but is not limited thereto. The cover layer (470) may be disposed on the adhesive layer (460). For example, the cover layer (470) may be in contact with the adhesive layer (460).

[0072] According to one embodiment, the plurality of light-emitting elements (421) may include a plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a) and at least one second light-emitting element (421b). The plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a) and the at least one second light-emitting element (421b) may be distinguished by light quantity. For example, the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a) may emit first light having a first light quantity, and the at least one second light-emitting element (421b) may emit second light having a second light quantity. The second light may be brighter than the first light due to a defect (f1) in at least one of the substrate (410) and / or the light-emitting layer (420). The at least one second light-emitting element (421b) may be disposed on (or above) the defect (f1) in at least one of the substrate (410) and / or the light-emitting layer (420). For example, at least one second light-emitting element (421b) may emit second light that is brighter than the first light from each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a) due to a defect (e.g., an impurity) on the substrate (410) and / or a short circuit of at least some of the conductive lines (411). For example, at least one second light-emitting element (421b) may emit second light that is brighter than the first light from each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a) due to a defect in the organic layer (424) within the light-emitting layer (420).

[0073] According to one embodiment, the plurality of transparent members (480) can transmit light from the plurality of light-emitting elements (421). For example, the plurality of transparent members (480) can be formed of a substantially transparent material. Each of the plurality of transparent members (480) can be disposed on each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421). According to one embodiment, the plurality of transparent members (480) can include a plurality of first transparent members (481) and at least one second transparent member (482).

[0074] According to one embodiment, each of the plurality of first transparent members (481) can transmit the first light from each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a). Each of the plurality of first transparent members (481) can correspond to each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a). Each of the plurality of first transparent members (481) can be disposed on (or above) each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a). For example, each of the plurality of first transparent members (481) can be spaced apart from each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a) in a first direction (e.g., +z direction). The plurality of first transparent members (481) can improve the brightness of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a). For example, each of the plurality of first transparent members (481) can refract (or concentrate) the first light from each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a) so that the brightness of the first light from each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a) is improved. The plurality of first transparent members (481) can have a shape for refracting (or concentrating) the first light from each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a). For example, one surface of each of the plurality of first transparent members (481) in contact with the adhesive layer (460) can have a curved shape. For example, one surface of each of the plurality of first transparent members (481) in contact with the adhesive layer (460) can have a convex shape with respect to the first direction (e.g., the +z direction). The plurality of first transparent members (481) can be spaced apart from each other. For example, the plurality of first transmitting elements (481) may be referred to as a plurality of lenses.

[0075] In one embodiment, at least one second transparent member (482) can correspond to at least one second light-emitting element (421b). The at least one second transparent member (482) can be disposed on (or above) the at least one second light-emitting element (421b). For example, the at least one second transparent member (482) can be spaced apart from the at least one second light-emitting element (421b) in a first direction (e.g., the +z direction). The at least one second transparent member (482) can transmit second light from the at least one second light-emitting element (421b). The at least one second transparent member (482) can be formed of substantially the same material as the plurality of first transparent members (481). In one embodiment, the at least one second transparent member (482) can be formed by cutting at least one of the plurality of transparent members (480). For example, at least one second transparent member (482) can be formed by cutting at least one of the plurality of transparent members (480) by a laser. For example, at least one second transparent member (482) can be formed by carbonizing at least one of the plurality of transparent members (480) by a laser. In one embodiment, at least one second transparent member (482) can have a different shape from each of the plurality of first transparent members (481). For example, at least one second transparent member (482) can have a different volume from each of the plurality of first transparent members (481). For example, the thickness of at least one second transparent member (482) can be smaller than the thickness of each of the plurality of first transparent members (481). The thickness of a component can represent a distance in a first direction (e.g., +z direction), and the expression can be used substantially the same way hereinafter unless otherwise stated.

[0076] According to one embodiment, the blocking member (490) can absorb at least a portion of the second light from at least one second light-emitting element (421b) transmitted to the outside of the display (400). The blocking member (490) can block the second light from at least one second light-emitting element (421b) from being transmitted to the outside of the display (400). For example, the blocking member (490) can include a substantially opaque material. The blocking member (490) can be formed of a substantially opaque material. The blocking member (490) can be formed of a material for absorbing light (e.g., a black material). According to one embodiment, the blocking member (490) can remove a bright spot (e.g., a bright spot (s1) of FIG. 3) that is visible from the outside of the display (400). For example, the blocking member (490) can be disposed on (or above) at least one second light-emitting element (421b) to eliminate a bright spot (s1) visible from the outside of the display (400). For example, the blocking member (490) can overlap at least one second light-emitting element (421b) when the display (400) is viewed from above. For example, when the display (400) is viewed in a third direction (e.g., a -z direction) opposite to the first direction (e.g., a +z direction), the blocking member (490) can at least partially overlap at least one second light-emitting element (421b). For example, when the blocking member (490) is omitted, the second light from at least one light-emitting element (421b) positioned above the defect (f1) can be emitted to the outside of the display (400). When the second light from at least one light-emitting element (421b) is emitted to the outside of the display (400), the sub-pixel (400-2) corresponding to the position of at least one light-emitting element (421b) can be recognized as a bright spot (s1) from the outside of the display (400).When the above sub-pixel (400-2) is recognized as a bright spot (s1) from the outside of the display (400), the display (400) may cause inconvenience to the user. An electronic device according to an embodiment (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 3) may provide a structure in which the bright spot (s1) recognized from the outside of the display (400) is removed by a blocking member (490) that occludes at least one second light-emitting element (421b) corresponding to a defect (f1). The second light emitted from at least one second light-emitting element (421b) may not be transmitted (or emitted) to the outside of the display (400) by the blocking member (490). As the blocking member (490) blocks the second light emitted from at least one second light-emitting element (421b), the sub-pixel (400-2) corresponding to at least one second light-emitting element (421b) may become a dark dot. An area of ​​the screen (e.g., the screen (401) of FIG. 3) where the dark dot is located may be darker than another area of ​​the screen (401) where the dark dot is not located. The brightness (or luminance) of the area of ​​the screen (401) where the dark dot is located may be lower than the brightness (or luminance) of another area of ​​the screen (401) where the dark dot is not located. Since the visibility of the dark dot is lower than the visibility of the bright dot (s1), the blocking member (490) may change the bright dot (s1) into a dark dot by covering at least one second light-emitting element (421b).

[0077] In one embodiment, at least one second transparent member (482) can provide (or define) a space in which a blocking member (490) is disposed. For example, the blocking member (490) can be accommodated within at least one second transparent member (482) formed by cutting at least one of the plurality of transparent members (480). The blocking member (490) can contact the at least one second transparent member (482). The blocking member (490) can be accommodated (or disposed) within the at least one second transparent member (482). For example, at least a portion of the blocking member (490) can be surrounded (or wrapped) by the at least one second transparent member (482). For example, a side (490a) of the blocking member (490) facing the cover layer (470) can be exposed to the exterior of the at least one second transparent member (482). An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can provide a structure in which the removal of a bright spot (s1) is easy because a blocking member (490) for absorbing the second light from at least one second light-emitting element (421b) is disposed within at least one second transparent member (482). For example, when the substrate (410) is formed of an opaque material (e.g., silicon), a defect (f1) on one side (410a) of the substrate (410) may not be removed by laser irradiation through the other side (410b) of the substrate (410). The other side (410b) of the substrate (410) may be opposite to the one side (410a) of the substrate (410). For example, the third direction (e.g., -z direction) toward which the other side (410b) of the substrate (410) faces may be opposite to the first direction (e.g., +z direction) toward which the one side (410a) of the substrate (410) faces.An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can provide a structure that can easily remove a bright spot (s1) visible from the outside of a display (400), because at least one second transparent member (482) that accommodates a blocking member (490) is formed by deforming one of a plurality of transparent members (480) corresponding to a defect (f1).

[0078] In one embodiment, the blocking member (490) can be at least partially inserted into at least one second transparent member (482). The blocking member (490) can penetrate at least one second transparent member (482). For example, the blocking member (490) can penetrate at least one second transparent member (482), the flattening layer (450), and a portion of the filter layer (440). For example, the blocking member (490) can be inserted into at least a portion of one color filter (441a) corresponding to at least one second light-emitting element (421b) among the plurality of color filters (441). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the blocking member (490) can penetrate at least one second transparent member (482) and a portion of the flattening layer (450). The blocking member (490) can be spaced apart from the sealing layer (430). For example, when the blocking member (490) penetrates at least a portion of the sealing layer (430), a plurality of light-emitting elements (421) within the light-emitting layer (420) may be damaged as foreign substances or oxygen are introduced into the light-emitting layer (420). An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may provide a structure capable of reducing damage to the display (400) due to the introduction of foreign substances or oxygen into the light-emitting layer (420) by the blocking member (490) disposed outside the sealing layer (430).

[0079] As described above, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can provide a structure capable of reducing the number of bright spots (s1) visible from the outside of the display (400) by a blocking member (490) overlaid on at least one second light-emitting element (421b) corresponding to the location of the defect (f1).

[0080] FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a method for manufacturing an exemplary display according to one embodiment.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 5, in state 510, a light-emitting layer (420) may be laminated on a substrate (410). An encapsulating layer (430) may be laminated on the light-emitting layer (420). For example, the encapsulating layer (430) may be interposed between a plurality of first transparent members (481) and the light-emitting layer (420), and between at least one second transparent member (482) and the light-emitting layer (420). A filter layer (440) may be laminated on the encapsulating layer (430). For example, the filter layer (440) may be interposed between the encapsulating layer (430) and a plurality of first transparent members (481), and between at least one second transparent member (482) and the encapsulating layer (430). A flattening layer (450) may be laminated on the filter layer (440). For example, the flattening layer (450) may be interposed between the filter layer (440) and the plurality of first transparent members (481), and between the filter layer (440) and at least one second transparent member (482). The plurality of transparent members (480) may be laminated on the flattening layer (450). According to one embodiment, in state 510, the location of the defect (f1) may be identified. For example, the location of the defect (f1) may be identified through the location of at least one second light-emitting element (421b) that emits brighter light than other light-emitting elements among the plurality of light-emitting elements (421).

[0082] In state 520, a groove (501) may be formed. The position of the groove (501) may correspond to the position of at least one second light-emitting element (421b) corresponding to the position of the defect (f1). The groove (501) may be formed (or arranged) in one of the plurality of transparent members (480) corresponding to the at least one second light-emitting element (421b) (e.g., at least one second transparent member (482)). The groove (501) may penetrate one of the plurality of transparent members (480), the planarization layer (450), and at least a portion of the filter layer (440). For example, the groove (501) may be formed by cutting one of the plurality of transparent members (480) by a laser, but is not limited thereto. For example, the groove (501) may be formed by cutting one of the plurality of transparent members (480) by a chemical solution or a physical force. As one of the plurality of penetrating members (480) is cut, at least one second penetrating member (482) can be formed.

[0083] In state 530, a blocking member (490) can be placed (or accommodated) inside the groove (501). The blocking member (490) can fill at least a portion of the groove (501). As the blocking member (490) fills at least a portion of the groove (501), the amount of second light from at least one second transmitting member (482) transmitted to the outside of the display (400) can be reduced.

[0084] In state 540, an adhesive layer (460) may be laminated on a plurality of transparent members (480) and a flattening layer (450). A cover layer (470) may be laminated on the adhesive layer (460). As the cover layer (470) is laminated, the fabrication of the display (400) may be completed.

[0085] As described above, the display according to one embodiment (e.g., the display (400) of FIG. 3) can provide a structure in which it is easy to remove a bright spot (e.g., the bright spot (s1) of FIG. 3) because the blocking member (490) is accommodated in at least one second transparent member (482) formed by cutting one of the plurality of transparent members (480). For example, after the location of the defect (f1) is identified, the blocking member (490) is accommodated in a space in which one of the plurality of transparent members (480) corresponding to the location of the defect (f1) is cut, so that it is easy to remove the bright spot (s1) during the process of manufacturing the display (400).

[0086] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a cut display according to one embodiment.

[0087] The display (400) of FIG. 6 may be a display (400) in which the structures of the filter layer (440), the flattening layer (450), the at least one second transmitting member (482), and the blocking member (490) are changed from the display (400) of FIG. 4, so redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0088] Referring to FIG. 6, according to one embodiment, one side (482a) of at least one second transparent member (482) may have a shape that is substantially parallel to the flattening layer (450). For example, one side (482a) of at least one second transparent member (482) may have a shape that is substantially planar.

[0089] In one embodiment, the blocking member (490) can be disposed on at least one second transparent member (482). For example, the blocking member (490) can be disposed on one side (482a) of at least one second transparent member (482) facing the cover layer (470). The blocking member (490) can be disposed outside the flattening layer (450). The blocking member (490) can be spaced apart from the flattening layer (450). In one embodiment, the blocking member (490) can be formed by carbonizing one of the plurality of transparent members (480) corresponding to the defect (f1). For example, the blocking member (490) can be formed by carbonizing one of the plurality of transparent members (480) corresponding to the defect (f1) by a laser, but is not limited thereto. For example, after one of the plurality of transparent members (480) corresponding to the defect (f1) is cut, a material for forming a blocking member (490) may be placed on one of the plurality of transparent members (480) corresponding to the defect (f1), thereby forming the blocking member (490).

[0090] In one embodiment, the size of at least one second transparent member (482) may be larger than the size of the blocking member (490). For example, the width of the at least one second transparent member (482) may be larger than the width of the blocking member (490). The width of an element may represent a distance in a second direction (e.g., +x direction or -x direction), and the expression may be utilized substantially the same way below. For example, the area of ​​the other side (482b) of the at least one second transparent member (482) facing the at least one second light-emitting element (421b) may be larger than the area of ​​the other side (490b) of the blocking member (490) facing the at least one second light-emitting element (421b). For example, when the blocking member (490) is formed by carbonization of one of the plurality of transparent members (480) by a laser, the more excessively one of the plurality of transparent members (480) is carbonized, the more heat may be transferred to the plurality of first transparent members (481). When the heat during the process of carbonizing one of the plurality of transparent members (480) is transferred to the plurality of first transparent members (481), the plurality of first transparent members (481) may be deformed by the heat, so that the first light from each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a) may not be refracted (or may not be focused). According to one embodiment, the display (400) can reduce (or inhibit) deformation of the plurality of first transparent members (481) while the blocking member (490) is formed because one of the plurality of transparent members (480) corresponding to the position of the defect (f1) is carbonized within an appropriate range, thereby forming the blocking member (490). Since one of the plurality of transparent members (480) corresponding to the position of the defect (f1) is carbonized within an appropriate range, the size of the blocking member (490) can be smaller than the size of at least one second transparent member (482).

[0091] As described above, the display (400) according to one embodiment can provide a structure that can reduce the number of bright spots (e.g., bright spots (s1) of FIG. 3) visible from the outside of the display (400) by a blocking member (490) overlapping at least one second light-emitting element (421b).

[0092] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a cut display according to one embodiment.

[0093] The display (400) of FIG. 7 may be a display (400) in which the structures of the filter layer (440), the flattening layer (450), the plurality of transparent members (480), and the blocking member (490) are changed from the display (400) of FIG. 4, so redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0094] Referring to FIG. 7, according to one embodiment, the shape of at least one second penetrating member (482) positioned on (or above) the defect (f1) may be substantially the same as the shape of each of the plurality of first penetrating members (481). The volume of at least one second penetrating member (482) positioned on (or above) the defect (f1) may be substantially the same as the volume of each of the plurality of first penetrating members (481).

[0095] In one embodiment, the blocking member (490) can be disposed (or interposed) between at least one second transparent member (482) and the filter layer (440). The blocking member (490) can be disposed within the flattening layer (450). For example, the blocking member (490) can contact at least one second transparent member (482) within the flattening layer (450). The blocking member (490) can be inserted within the flattening layer (450). For example, the blocking member (490) can be surrounded (or wrapped) by the flattening layer (450). The thickness of the blocking member (490) can be thinner than the thickness of the flattening layer (450), but is not limited thereto. For example, the thickness of the blocking member (490) can be substantially the same as the thickness of the flattening layer (450).

[0096] In one embodiment, the blocking member (490) may be formed by cutting the flattening layer (450). For example, before the plurality of transparent members (480) are arranged, the flattening layer (450) may be cut after the location of the defect (f1) is identified. After the flattening layer (450) is cut, a material for forming the blocking member (490) may be accommodated within the cut flattening layer (450), thereby forming the blocking member (490). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The blocking member (490) may be formed by carbonizing the flattening layer (450). For example, before the plurality of transparent members (480) are arranged, the location of the defect (f1) is identified, and then the flattening layer (450) may be carbonized, thereby forming the blocking member (490). For example, carbonization of the flattening layer (450) can be performed by a laser. After the blocking member (490) is formed, a plurality of transparent members (480) are placed on the flattening layer (450), and an adhesive layer (460) and a cover layer (470) are laminated, respectively, thereby completing the manufacturing of the display (400).

[0097] As described above, the display (400) according to one embodiment can provide a structure capable of eliminating a bright spot visible from the outside of the display (400) by a blocking member (490) disposed within the flattening layer (450).

[0098] FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a cut display according to one embodiment.

[0099] The display (400) of FIG. 8 may be a display (400) in which the structures of the filter layer (440), the flattening layer (450), the plurality of transparent members (480), and the blocking member (490) are changed from the display (400) of FIG. 4, so redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0100] Referring to FIG. 8, according to one embodiment, the shape of at least one second penetrating member (482) positioned on (or above) the defect (f1) may be substantially the same as the shape of each of the plurality of first penetrating members (481). The volume of at least one second penetrating member (482) positioned on (or above) the defect (f1) may be substantially the same as the volume of each of the plurality of first penetrating members (481).

[0101] In one embodiment, the blocking member (490) can surround (or enclose) at least one second transparent member (482) and a portion of each of the plurality of first transparent members (481) adjacent to the at least one second transparent member (482). For example, the blocking member (490) can surround (or enclose) a portion of each of the plurality of first transparent members (481) that surround the at least one second transparent member (482). The blocking member (490) can be disposed on a portion of the flattening layer (450). For example, the blocking member (490) can contact a portion of one side (450a) of the flattening layer (450) that faces the cover layer (470).

[0102] In one embodiment, the blocking member (490) can be formed after the plurality of transparent members (480) are formed. For example, after the plurality of transparent members (480) are formed, the location of the defect (f1) can be identified. After the location of the defect (f1) is identified, a material for forming the blocking member (490) can be disposed on at least one second transparent member (482) and a portion of each of the plurality of first transparent members (481) adjacent to at least one second transparent member (482), thereby forming the blocking member (490).

[0103] As described above, the display (400) according to one embodiment can provide a structure that can reduce the number of bright spots (e.g., bright spots (s1) of FIG. 3) visible from the outside of the display (400) by at least one second transparent member (482) and a blocking member (490) in contact with a portion of each of the plurality of first transparent members (481).

[0104] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a cut display according to one embodiment.

[0105] The display (400) of FIG. 9 may be a display (400) in which the structures of the filter layer (440), the flattening layer (450), the plurality of transparent members (480) and the blocking member (490) are changed from the display (400) of FIG. 4, and a first compensation layer (610) is added, so a redundant description will be omitted.

[0106] Referring to FIG. 9, according to one embodiment, the shape of at least one second penetrating member (482) positioned on (or above) the defect (f1) may be substantially the same as the shape of each of the plurality of first penetrating members (481). The volume of at least one second penetrating member (482) positioned on (or above) the defect (f1) may be substantially the same as the volume of each of the plurality of first penetrating members (481).

[0107] According to one embodiment, the display (400) may further include a first compensation layer (610). The first compensation layer (610) may be disposed (or interposed) between the adhesive layer (460) and the cover layer (470). The first compensation layer (610) may be spaced apart from the plurality of transparent members (480). For example, the first compensation layer (610) may be spaced apart from the plurality of transparent members (480) along a first direction (e.g., the +z direction).

[0108] According to one embodiment, the blocking member (490) may be disposed (or interposed) between the adhesive layer (460) and the cover layer (470). The blocking member (490) may be disposed (or interposed) between at least one second transparent member (482) corresponding to the location of the defect (f1) and the cover layer (470). The blocking member (490) may be disposed within the first compensation layer (610). For example, the blocking member (490) may contact the cover layer (470) within the first compensation layer (610). The blocking member (490) may be inserted within the first compensation layer (610). For example, the blocking member (490) may be surrounded (or wrapped) by the first compensation layer (610). The thickness of the blocking member (490) may be thinner than the thickness of the first compensation layer (610), but is not limited thereto. For example, the thickness of the blocking member (490) may be substantially the same as the thickness of the first compensation layer (610). The first compensation layer (610) may be formed of, for example, at least one of a photosensitive polymer and / or a thermosensitive polymer.

[0109] According to one embodiment, the blocking member (490) may be formed after the first compensation layer (610) is formed. The first compensation layer (610) may be disposed (or formed) on the adhesive layer (460). After the first compensation layer (610) is disposed on the adhesive layer (460), the location of the defect (f1) may be identified. For example, after the location of the defect (f1) is identified, a laser may be irradiated to an area of ​​the first compensation layer (610) corresponding to the location of the defect (f1). The location of the area of ​​the first compensation layer (610) corresponding to the location of the defect (f1) may correspond to the location of at least one second light-emitting element (421b). When a laser is irradiated to one area of ​​the first compensation layer (610) to cut the first compensation layer (610), a material for forming a blocking member (490) may be received within the cut area of ​​the first compensation layer (610), thereby forming the blocking member (490). When a laser is irradiated to one area of ​​the first compensation layer (610) to carbonize the first compensation layer (610), the carbonized area of ​​the first compensation layer (610) may form the blocking member (490). After the blocking member (490) is formed, a cover layer (470) may be disposed on the first compensation layer (610), thereby completing the manufacturing of the display (400). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the blocking member (490) may be formed after the cover layer (470) is disposed on the first compensation layer (610).

[0110] As described above, the display (400) according to one embodiment can provide a structure in which a bright spot (e.g., a bright spot (s1) of FIG. 3) due to a defect (f1) is removed by a blocking member (490) disposed within the first compensation layer (610).

[0111] FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a cut display according to one embodiment.

[0112] The display (400) of FIG. 10 may be a display (400) to which a second compensation layer (620) and a third compensation layer (630) are added to the display (400) of FIG. 9, so redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0113] Referring to FIG. 10, according to one embodiment, the second compensation layer (620) may be disposed (or interposed) between the first compensation layer (610) and the adhesive layer (460). For example, the second compensation layer (620) may be disposed (or interposed) between the first compensation layer (610) and the third compensation layer (630). The second compensation layer (620) may reduce (or block) the transfer of heat generated by the laser for forming the blocking member (490) to the adhesive layer (460). The second compensation layer (620) may be formed of a material whose properties are not changed by the laser. For example, the second compensation layer (620) may be formed of at least one of an inorganic material and an organic material. For example, the second compensation layer (620) may be formed of a substantially transparent material, but is not limited thereto.

[0114] According to one embodiment, the third compensation layer (630) may be disposed (or interposed) between the second compensation layer (620) and the adhesive layer (460). The third compensation layer (630) may reduce (or block) transmission of a laser to the adhesive layer (460) for forming the blocking member (490). The third compensation layer (630) may be formed of a material whose properties are not changed by the laser. For example, the third compensation layer (630) may be formed of a substantially transparent material. For example, the third compensation layer (630) may be formed of an inorganic material. For example, the third compensation layer (630) may be formed of, but is not limited to, at least one of ITO (Indium tin oxide) and IZO (Indium zinc oxide).

[0115] According to one embodiment, after the adhesive layer (460) is formed, a third compensation layer (630) can be laminated on the adhesive layer (460). After the third compensation layer (630) is formed, a second compensation layer (620) can be laminated on the third compensation layer (630). After the second compensation layer (620) is formed, a first compensation layer (610) can be laminated on the third compensation layer (630). After the first compensation layer (610) is formed, the location of the defect (f1) can be identified. After the location of the defect (f1) is identified, a blocking member (490) can be formed by irradiation with a laser. The second compensation layer (620) and the third compensation layer (630) can prevent heat from the laser from being transferred to the adhesive layer (460) while the laser for forming the blocking member (490) is irradiated to the first compensation layer (610). After the blocking member (490) is formed, a cover layer (470) can be placed on the first compensation layer (610) and the blocking member (490).

[0116] As described above, the display (400) according to one embodiment can provide a structure in which a bright spot (e.g., a bright spot (s1) of FIG. 3) due to a defect (f1) is removed by a blocking member (490) disposed within the first compensation layer (610).

[0117] FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a cut display according to one embodiment.

[0118] The display (400) of FIG. 11 may be a display (400) in which the structure of the first compensation layer (610) is changed from the display (400) of FIG. 9, so a duplicate description will be omitted.

[0119] Referring to FIG. 11, according to one embodiment, the first compensation layer (610) may include portions (611, 612, 613) that are disconnected from each other. Each portion (611, 612, 613) of the first compensation layer (610) may correspond to each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421). The portions (611, 612, 613) of the first compensation layer (610) may be disposed on each of the plurality of light-emitting elements (421). The portions (611, 612, 613) of the first compensation layer (610) may be spaced apart from each other. For example, portions (611, 612, 613) of the first compensation layer (610) may be spaced apart from each other along a second direction (e.g., +x direction and / or -x direction) that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction (e.g., +z direction). The adhesive layer (460) may fill the space between the portions (611, 612, 613) of the first compensation layer (610).

[0120] According to one embodiment, the blocking member (490) may be positioned within a portion (612) corresponding to the location of the defect (f1) among the portions (611, 612, 613) of the first compensation layer (610). The blocking member (490) may be positioned within a portion (612) positioned on at least one second light-emitting element (421b) among the portions (611, 612, 613) of the first compensation layer (610).

[0121] According to one embodiment, after the first compensation layer (610) is formed, a blocking member (490) may be formed. A laser for forming the blocking member (490) may be irradiated to a portion (612) corresponding to the location of the defect (f1). Since the first compensation layer (610) has a disconnected shape, the amount of heat from the portion (612) transferred to other portions (612, 613) may be reduced.

[0122] As described above, the display (400) according to one embodiment can provide a structure in which a bright spot (e.g., bright spot (s1) of FIG. 3) is removed by a blocking member (490) disposed within a portion (612) of the first compensation layer (610) corresponding to the location of the defect (f1).

[0123] FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a cut display according to one embodiment.

[0124] The display (400) of FIG. 12 may be a display (400) to which a plurality of second BMs (640) are added in the display (400) of FIG. 11, so a duplicate description will be omitted.

[0125] Referring to FIG. 12, according to one embodiment, a plurality of second BMs (640) may distinguish (or define) a plurality of sub-pixels (400-1, 400-2, 400-3). For example, the plurality of second BMs (640) may be formed of a material for absorbing light. The plurality of second BMs (640) may be spaced apart from each other. For example, the plurality of second BMs (640) may be spaced apart from each other along a second direction (e.g., +x direction and / or -x direction) that is substantially perpendicular to a first direction (e.g., +z direction). The plurality of second BMs (640) may be disposed (or interposed) between portions (611, 612, 613) of the first compensation layer (610).

[0126] In one embodiment, the blocking member (490) may be positioned within a portion (612) of the first compensation layer (610) corresponding to the location of the defect (f1). The blocking member (490) may be spaced apart from each of the plurality of second BMs (640) that surround (or enclose) the portion (612) of the first compensation layer (610), but is not limited thereto. For example, the blocking member (490) may be in contact with each of the plurality of second BMs (640) that surround (or enclose) the portion (612) of the first compensation layer (610).

[0127] According to one embodiment, a plurality of second BMs (640) may be formed to accurately distinguish a plurality of sub-pixels (400-1, 400-2, 400-3). If the plurality of second BMs (640) are omitted, for example, heat from a laser irradiated to a portion (612) of the first compensation layer (610) may be transferred to an adhesive layer (460) that surrounds the portion (612) of the first compensation layer (610). If heat is transferred to the adhesive layer (460), accurate distinction of the plurality of sub-pixels (400-1, 400-2, 400-3) may be difficult. A display (400) according to one embodiment may include a plurality of relatively precisely separated sub-pixels (400-1, 400-2, 400-3) because a plurality of second BMs (640) fill the gaps between portions (611, 612, 613) of the first compensation layer (610).

[0128] As described above, the display (400) according to one embodiment can provide a structure in which a bright spot (e.g., bright spot (s1) of FIG. 3) is removed by a blocking member (490) disposed within a portion (612) of the first compensation layer (610) corresponding to the location of the defect (f1).

[0129] FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a cut display according to one embodiment.

[0130] The display (400) of FIG. 13 may be a display (400) in which the position of the first compensation layer (610) is changed from the display (400) of FIG. 9 and a plurality of second BMs (640) are added, so a redundant description will be omitted.

[0131] Referring to FIG. 13, according to one embodiment, a plurality of second BMs (640) may be positioned (or inserted) within an adhesive layer (460). For example, the plurality of second BMs (640) may be in contact with a cover layer (470) within the adhesive layer (460), but is not limited thereto.

[0132] According to one embodiment, the first compensation layer (610) may be disposed on the cover layer (470). For example, the first compensation layer (610) may be disposed on one side (470a) of the cover layer (470) facing the first direction (e.g., +z direction). As the first compensation layer (610) is disposed on the cover layer (470), the blocking member (490) may be disposed on one side (470a) of the cover layer (470) together with the first compensation layer (610).

[0133] As described above, the display (400) according to one embodiment can provide a structure capable of covering a bright spot (e.g., bright spot (s1) of FIG. 3) caused by a defect (f1) by a blocking member (490) disposed on a cover layer (470).

[0134] During the manufacturing process of an electronic device display, a bright spot may be generated on the display due to a defect on the substrate. A bright spot may be caused by foreign matter on the substrate or a short circuit in a conductive pattern on the substrate. When a bright spot occurs on a display, a portion (or pixel) of the display containing the bright spot may emit relatively brighter light than another portion (or other pixel) of the display that does not contain the bright spot. If a portion of the display emits brighter light than another portion of the display, the display may not be able to provide visual information to the user smoothly. The electronic device may require a structure to compensate for the bright spot of the display.

[0135] The technical tasks to be achieved in this document are not limited to the technical tasks mentioned above, and other technical tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those with ordinary skill in the technical field to which this document pertains from the description below.

[0136] A display (e.g., a display (400) of FIG. 4) is provided. According to one embodiment, the display may include a substrate (e.g., a substrate (410) of FIG. 4). According to one embodiment, the display may include a plurality of first light-emitting elements (e.g., a plurality of first light-emitting elements (421a) of FIG. 4) and at least one second light-emitting element (e.g., at least one second light-emitting element (421b) of FIG. 4), and a light-emitting layer (e.g., a light-emitting layer (420) of FIG. 4) disposed on the substrate may be disposed on each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements. According to one embodiment, the display may include a plurality of first transparent members (e.g., a plurality of first transparent members (481) of FIG. 4) configured to refract first light from each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements. In one embodiment, the display may include at least one second transparent member (e.g., at least one second transparent member (482) of FIG. 4) disposed on the at least one second light-emitting element and configured to transmit second light from the at least one second light-emitting element. In one embodiment, the display may include a blocking member (e.g., a blocking member (490) of FIG. 4) comprising an opaque material and in contact with the at least one second transparent member so as to absorb at least a portion of the second light transmitted to the outside of the display.
