[0031] FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a display according to one embodiment disclosed in this document.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 1, the display (210) may include a plurality of unit pixels (PXL) that display an image. The pixel (PXL) may include a plurality of sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3) that emit different colors. For example, each of the plurality of pixels (PXL) may include a first sub-pixel (SP1) that emits red, a second sub-pixel (SP2) that emits green, and a third sub-pixel (SP3) that emits blue. For example, each of the plurality of pixels (PXL) may include first to third sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3) and a fourth sub-pixel that emits white. An image may be displayed on the display (210) by controlling the amount of light emitted from each of the sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3).

[0033] According to one embodiment, the plurality of pixels (PXL) are illustrated as being arranged in the order of a first sub-pixel (SP1) implementing red, a second sub-pixel (SP2) implementing green, and a third sub-pixel (SP3) implementing blue, but this is not limited thereto. It may be varied in various ways depending on the design.

[0034] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating a display according to an embodiment disclosed in this document. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating the display taken along line "A-A'" in FIG. 1.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 2, the display (210) may include a light source panel (or, light source substrate, light source module, light source assembly) (310) and a color conversion panel (300) (or, color conversion substrate, color conversion module, color conversion assembly) facing the light source panel (310). Although the light source panel (310) and the color conversion panel (300) illustrated in FIG. 2 are depicted spaced apart from each other, the light source panel (310) and the color conversion panel (300) may be bonded together using an adhesive (not illustrated).

[0036] The light source panel (310) may be a substrate that generates and emits light necessary for displaying an image. The light source panel (310) may include a rear substrate (311), a light emitting element (312), and a pixel circuit that drives the light emitting element (312).

[0037] The rear substrate (311) may be a plastic substrate or a glass substrate. The rear substrate (311) may have flexible characteristics. A light-emitting element (312) and a pixel circuit may be arranged on the rear substrate (311). The light-emitting element (312) may be arranged to overlap with color filters (320) arranged on the front substrate (301), and at least a portion of the pixel circuit (e.g., signal lines, transistors) may be arranged to overlap with a black matrix (302) arranged on the front substrate (301).

[0038] The light-emitting element (312) may include at least one of an organic light-emitting diode, a quantum dot light-emitting diode, an inorganic-based micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED), and an inorganic-based nano light-emitting diode (nano LED). For example, the light-emitting element (312) may be a micro light-emitting diode.

[0039] The pixel circuit may be composed of a plurality of transistors. For example, the pixel circuit may be composed of a CMOS circuit composed of a combination of at least one N-type transistor and at least one P-type transistor.

[0040] The color conversion panel (300) may include a front substrate (301), a color filter (320), a partition (304), a color control member (340), and a black matrix (302).

[0041] The front substrate (301) may be formed of a material having light-transmitting properties. The front substrate (301) may be formed of a plastic substrate or a glass substrate. The front substrate (301) may have flexible properties. A color filter (320), a partition wall (304), a color conversion member (330) (or a color conversion layer), a transparent layer (333), and a black matrix (302) may be laminated on the other side (e.g., a side facing the -Z axis) of the front substrate (301). Since light passing through the color filter (320) is emitted to the outside through one side (e.g., a side facing the +Z axis) of the front substrate (301), an image may be provided to a viewer looking at the display.

[0042] The color filter (320) may include a first color filter (321), a second color filter (322), and a third color filter (323). The first color filter (321) may implement the same color as the light emitted from the first color conversion layer (331). For example, the first color filter (321) may be a red color filter. The first color filter (321) may transmit red light and absorb other color light other than red light. The first color filter (321) may increase the color purity of red light incident through the first color conversion layer (331). The second color filter (322) may implement the same color as the light emitted from the second color conversion layer (332). For example, the second color filter (322) may be a green color filter. The second color filter (322) may transmit green light and absorb other color light other than green light. The second color filter (322) can increase the color purity of green light incident through the second color conversion layer (332). The third color filter (323) can implement the same color as the light emitted from the light emitting element (312). For example, the third color filter (323) can be a blue color filter. The third color filter (323) can transmit blue light and absorb other colors of light other than blue light. The third color filter (323) can increase the color purity of blue light incident through the transparent layer (333).

[0043] The black matrix (302) may be placed between the first color filter (321), the second color filter (322), and the third color filter (323). Since the black matrix (302) divides the area of ​​each sub-pixel (SP1, SP2, SP3), it may overlap with the partition wall (304). The black matrix (302) may be formed of a material such as a metal, a synthetic resin, a synthetic rubber, or a carbon-based organic material. For example, the black matrix (302) may be composed of chromium (Cr), a chromium oxide film (CrOx), carbon black, or a double film including these.

[0044] The color control member (340) may include a color conversion member (330) and a transparent layer (333). The color conversion member (330) may include a first color conversion layer (331) and a second color conversion layer (332). The first color conversion layer (331) may be formed to overlap with the first color filter (321). The first color conversion layer (331) may be disposed between the light emitting element (312) and the first color filter (321). The first color conversion layer (331) may convert light emitted from the light emitting element (312) into first color light using a first quantum dot. For example, the first color conversion layer (331) may convert blue light emitted from the light emitting element (312) into red light.

[0045] The second color conversion layer (332) may be formed to overlap with the second color filter (322). The second color conversion layer (332) may be positioned between the light-emitting element (312) and the second color filter (322). The second color conversion layer (332) may convert light emitted from the light-emitting element (312) into second color light using the second quantum dot. For example, the second color conversion layer (332) may convert blue light emitted from the light-emitting element (312) into green light.

[0046] The transparent layer (333) may be formed to overlap with the third color filter (323). The transparent layer (333) may be disposed between the light emitting element (312) and the third color filter (323). The transparent layer (333) may transmit light emitted from the light emitting element (312) without color conversion. According to one embodiment, the transparent layer (333) may be hollow so that incident light passes through it as is, or may be made of a transparent resin such as ABS (Acryl-nitrile butadiene styrene), PMMA (Poly methyl methacrylate), or PC (Poly carbonate). According to one embodiment, the transparent layer (330) may include a transparent resin and a scattering agent. The scattering agent may be TiO2, SiO2, or / and glass beads.

[0047] The partition wall (304) may be formed to partition sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3) that implement different colors. The partition wall (304) may block the movement of light between sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3) that implement different colors. The partition wall (304) may be formed of a black color that absorbs light. The partition wall (304) may be formed of a material such as a metal, a synthetic resin, a synthetic rubber, or a carbon-based organic material. For example, the partition wall (304) may be composed of chromium (Cr), a chromium oxide film (CrOx), carbon black, or a double film including these. The partition wall (304) may be formed to ensure a thickness of the color control member (340) greater than a specified thickness. For example, the partition wall (304) may be formed to a thickness of 10 to 15 μm in consideration of the thickness of the color control member (340).

[0048] The bulkhead (304) may include a side that is in contact with the other side of the black matrix (e.g., a side facing the -Z axis). The bulkhead (304) may include a side that is perpendicular to the other side of the black matrix (302), or may be formed in a tapered shape with a side that is inclined to the other side of the black matrix (302).

[0049] According to one embodiment, the color conversion panel (300) can be completed by sequentially forming a black matrix (302), a color filter (320), and a partition wall (304), and then forming a color conversion member (330) and a transparent layer (333) included in a color control member (340) through an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) process or inkjet.

In FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, a color conversion panel applied to the electronic device described above will be described as an example.

[0051] Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, a color conversion panel (500) according to an embodiment (e.g., the color conversion panel (300) of FIG. 2) may include a front substrate (410) (e.g., the front substrate (301) of FIG. 2), a black matrix (302), a color filter (320), an overcoat layer (520), a partition wall (610) (e.g., the partition wall (304) of FIG. 1), a color control member (331, 332, 333), a thin film encapsulation layer (510), and an organic resin layer (540) (or a side resin layer). In describing the embodiment of FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the color conversion panel of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 may be referred to, and for configurations similar or identical to those of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the same reference numerals may be assigned or omitted, and a detailed description thereof may also be omitted.

[0052] The front substrate (410) may include a first side (411), a second side (412), a third side (413), and a fourth side (414). The first side (411) of the front substrate (410) may face the second side (412). The first side (411) may face the +Y axis, and the second side (412) may face the -Y axis. The third side (413) may intersect the first side (411) and face the fourth side (414). The third side (413) may face the -X axis, and the fourth side (414) may face the +X axis. The front substrate (410) may include one side (415) facing the +Z axis. At least one of the first side (411), the second side (412), the third side (413), and the fourth side (414) may be formed to be bent from the side (415) while being in contact with the side (415) corresponding to the side on which an image is implemented in the electronic device. At least one of the first side (411), the second side (412), the third side (413), and the fourth side (414) may form an acute angle or a right angle with the side (415).

[0053] The overcoat layer (520) can be placed on the black matrix (302) and the color filters (321, 322, 323) to cover the black matrix (302) and the color filters (321, 322, 323). The overcoat layer (520) can be formed of an organic insulating material to level the step between the color filters (321, 322, 323) and the black matrix (302).

[0054] A color control member (e.g., color control member (340) of FIG. 2) may include a first color conversion layer (331), a second color conversion layer (332), and a transparent layer (333). For example, the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332), and the transparent layer (333) may be disposed adjacent to the first side (411) and the second side (412) of the front substrate (410). The first color conversion layer (331) may be disposed adjacent to the third side (413) of the front substrate (410). The transparent layer (333) may be disposed adjacent to the fourth side (414) of the front substrate (410).

[0055] The thin film encapsulation layer (510) can be formed to cover a color control member including a color conversion layer (331, 332) that is vulnerable to external moisture or oxygen. The thin film encapsulation layer (510) can block external moisture or oxygen from penetrating into the color control member including the color conversion layer (331, 332).

[0056] According to one embodiment, the thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed to cover the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332) and the transparent layer (333), the organic resin layer (540), the side surfaces (521, 522, 523, 524) of the overcoat layer (520) and / or the side surfaces (411, 412, 413, 414) of the front substrate (410). The thin film encapsulation layer (510) may block a moisture permeation path through the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332) and the transparent layer (333), the organic resin layer (540), the side surfaces (521, 522, 523, 524) of the overcoat layer (520) and / or the side surfaces (411, 412, 413, 414) of the front substrate (410).

[0057] The thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed with at least one layer structure made of an inorganic insulating material. The thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed with at least one layer structure including at least one of Al2O3, SiNx, SiOx, and SiON. The thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed with an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, or / and a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECD) method.

[0058] According to one embodiment, the thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed into a single-layer structure by depositing Al2O3 using an ALD method. According to one embodiment, the thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed into a single-layer or multi-layer structure by depositing at least one of SiNx, SiOx, and SiON using a CVD or PECVD method.

[0059] According to one embodiment, the uppermost layer (or the uppermost layer furthest from the front substrate (410)) (e.g., the third encapsulation layer (513)) of the multi-layered thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed of a material having a denser texture than the remaining encapsulation layers (e.g., the first encapsulation layer (511) and / or the second encapsulation layer (512)) included in the multi-layered encapsulation layer (510). For example, the uppermost layer of the thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed of SiNx, and the remaining encapsulation layers of the thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed of SiOx or / and SiON. Since the uppermost layer of the thin film encapsulation layer (510) has a denser texture than the remaining encapsulation layers of the thin film encapsulation layer (510), it may be resistant to moisture. Since the remaining encapsulation layers have a lower tissue density than the top layer of the thin film encapsulation layer (510), the compressive stress occurring in the top layer can be alleviated, thereby preventing the thin film encapsulation layer (510) from being damaged by the top layer.

[0060] According to one embodiment, the thin film encapsulation layer (510) can be formed in a double-layer structure by depositing SiON or / and SiOx using a PECVD method and then depositing SiNx using a PECVD method.

[0061] According to one embodiment, the thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed in a single-layer or multi-layer structure by depositing at least one of Al2O3, SiNx, SiOx, and SiON using a CVD or PECVD method and an ALD method. For example, the thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed in a multi-layer structure by depositing Al2O3 using an ALD method and then sequentially depositing SiON and SiNx using a PECVD method. The thin film encapsulation layer (510) may include a first encapsulation layer (511) formed of Al2O3, a second encapsulation layer (512) formed of SiON on the first encapsulation layer (511), and a third encapsulation layer (513) formed of SiNx on the second encapsulation layer (512).

[0062] The partition wall (610) may include one side (611) (or, first partition wall surface) (e.g., a side facing the +Z axis) adjacent to the overcoat layer (520), the other side (612) (or, second partition wall surface) (e.g., a side facing the -Z axis) adjacent to the thin film encapsulation layer (510), and a first inclined side surface (613) (or, third partition wall surface) and a second inclined side surface (614) (or, fourth partition wall surface) disposed between the one side and the other side.

[0063] The surface area of ​​one side (611) of the partition wall (610) (or the contact area with the overcoat layer (520)) may be smaller than the surface area of ​​the other side (612) of the partition wall (610) (or the contact area with the thin film encapsulation layer (510). Among the partition walls (610), the first inclined side surface (613) of the partition wall (610) formed along the edge of the front substrate (410) may be arranged adjacent to the side surfaces (411, 412, 413, 414) of the front substrate (410), and the second inclined side surface (614) may be arranged far from the side surfaces (411, 412, 413, 414) of the front substrate (410).

[0064] According to one embodiment, the first inclined side (613) located at the outermost edge of the partition wall (610) formed along the edge of the front substrate (410) may contact the organic resin layer (540), and the second inclined side (614) may contact the color control member (331, 332, 333). The first inclined side (613) and the second inclined side (614) of the partition wall (610) located on the inner side of the edge of the front substrate (410) may contact the color control member (331, 332, 333).

[0065] According to one embodiment, the partition wall (610) may be formed in a negative taper shape. The partition wall (610) may be formed to have a wider width as it gets farther away from the front substrate (410). The partition wall (610) may have a wider width as it goes from one side facing the front substrate (410) (e.g., a side facing the +Z axis) to the other side facing the light source panel (e.g., a side facing the -Z axis) (e.g., a side facing the -Z axis). An angle formed by at least one of the first inclined side surface (613) and the second inclined side surface (614) of the reverse taper-shaped partition wall (610) and the one side surface (611) may be formed to be an obtuse angle. The angle formed by at least one of the first inclined side (613) and the second inclined side (614) of the reverse taper-shaped bulkhead (610) and the other surface (612) can be formed as an acute angle.

[0066] According to one embodiment, light passing through the color control member (331, 332, 333) can be widely radiated and emitted toward the front substrate (410) without being lost by the reverse taper-shaped partition wall (610). On the other hand, in the case of a positive taper-shaped partition wall, light generated from the light source panel and passing through the color control member (331, 332, 333) can be reflected by the positive taper-shaped partition wall and returned toward the light source panel (e.g., the light source panel (310) of FIG. 2) without being emitted through the front substrate (410). Therefore, the partition wall (610) made of an opaque material can be formed in a reverse taper shape having an inclined side surface (613, 614) that becomes farther away from the imaginary central axis of the partition wall (610) as it goes from one side (611) to the other side (612) in consideration of light emission efficiency.

[0067] According to one embodiment, the color control members (331, 332, 333) may be formed after the partition wall (610) is formed. Since the partition wall (610) is formed in a reverse taper shape, even if the color control members (331, 332, 333) are formed using a common mask, the color control members (331, 332, 333) may be arranged to be separated by the partition wall (610).

[0068] According to one embodiment, the organic resin layer (540) may be formed to contact the first inclined side surface (613) located at the outermost edge of the partition wall (610) formed along the edge of the front substrate (410). The organic resin layer (540) may be formed to cover the first inclined side surface (613) of the partition wall (610) having a reverse tapered shape. The organic resin layer (540) may be formed by being applied to cover the corner portion (CP) formed by the first inclined side surface (613) of the partition wall (610) surrounding the outermost sub-pixel (e.g., the sub-pixel (SP) of FIG. 2) and the other surface (e.g., the surface facing the -Z axis) of the overcoat layer (520). The organic resin layer (540) may be formed in a form that fills the corner portion (CP). The side surface (541) of the organic resin layer (540) may have a shape symmetrical with the first inclined side surface (613) of the partition wall (610). The side surface (541) (or the first inclined surface) of the organic resin layer (540) in contact with the thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed in a regular tapered shape. The side surface (541) of the organic resin layer (540) may be formed to form an acute angle with the other surface of the overcoat layer (520) and an obtuse angle with the other surface (612) of the partition wall. The thin film encapsulation layer (510) disposed on the organic resin layer (540) having a portion of a regular tapered shape may be formed with a uniform thickness over the entire area of ​​the thin film encapsulation layer (510). Since the thin film encapsulation layer (510) disposed on the organic resin layer (540) can be gently formed in an area corresponding to the corner portion (CP), the thin film encapsulation layer (510) can be formed with a uniform thickness without a single line in an area corresponding to the corner portion (CP). By improving the step coverage of the thin film encapsulation layer (510) formed on the organic resin layer (540), moisture penetration toward the side of the thin film encapsulation layer (510) can be prevented.

[0069] The organic resin layer (540) may be formed of an organic resin material that is transparent or opaque. For example, the organic resin layer (540) may be formed of the same material as at least one of the overcoat layer (520), the partition wall, the color filter (321, 322, 323), the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332), the transparent layer (333), and the liquid-repellent material, in a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The organic resin layer (540) may be formed by an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) process or an inkjet process.

[0070] According to one embodiment, when the organic resin layer (540) is formed of a colored (e.g., red, green, or / and blue) organic resin material, the black matrix (302) may be formed to overlap with the organic resin layer (540). The black matrix (302) overlapping with the organic resin layer (540) can prevent light from being emitted to the outside of the color conversion panel (500) through the organic resin layer (540), thereby preventing crosstalk defects from occurring.

[0071] Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a color conversion panel according to one embodiment. In Fig. 6, a color conversion panel applied to the electronic device described above is described as an example.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 6, a color conversion panel according to one embodiment (e.g., the color conversion panel (300) of FIG. 2 or / and the color conversion panel (500) of FIGS. 3, 4, and 5) may include a front substrate (410), a black matrix (302), a color filter (320), an overcoat layer (520), a partition wall (610), a color control member (340), a thin film encapsulation layer (510), and an organic resin layer (540). At least a portion of the configuration of the color conversion panel of FIG. 6 may be applied to at least a portion of the configuration of the color conversion panels of FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5. For example, the black matrix (302), the color filter (320), the overcoat layer (520), the partition wall (610), the color control member (340), the thin film encapsulation layer (510), and the organic resin layer (540) of FIG. 6 may be applied in accordance with the descriptions of the black matrix (302), the color filter (320), the overcoat layer (520), the partition wall (610), the color control member (340), the thin film encapsulation layer (510), and the organic resin layer (540) of FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5.

[0073] The front substrate (410) may include one side (415) (or a second side), another side (416) (a first side) facing in the opposite direction to the first side (415), the first side (411), the second side (e.g., the second side (412) of FIG. 3), the third side (e.g., the third side (413) of FIG. 3), and the fourth side (e.g., the fourth side (414) of FIG. 3). A corner surface (601) (or a chamfered surface, a second inclined surface) may be formed between at least a portion of at least one of the first side (411), the second side, the third side, and the fourth side and the other side (416). The corner surface (601) may be formed in the shape of a curved surface or an inclined surface. One side of the corner surface (601) may be formed to be bent from the side surface (411) while being in contact with the side surface (411). One side of the corner surface (601) may be formed to form an obtuse angle with the side surface (411). The other side of the corner surface (601) may be formed to be in contact with the other side (416) and to be bent from the other side (416). The other side of the corner surface (601) may be formed to form an obtuse angle with the other side (416).

[0074] The corner surface (601) can be formed into an inclined or curved shape through a chamfering process or a corner rounding process on the corner portion of the front substrate. For example, the length of the corner surface (601) can be formed to be 10 to 50 μm.

[0075] The overcoat layer (520) may include a side surface (521) that faces the same direction as at least one of the first side surface (411), the second side surface, the third side surface, and the fourth side surface of the front substrate (410). The side surface (521) of the overcoat layer (520) may be spaced apart from the side surface (411) of the front substrate (410) by a specified distance (d). The side surface (521) of the overcoat layer (520) may be spaced apart from the side surface (411) of the front substrate (410) in a first direction (e.g., +X-axis direction) and / or a second direction (e.g., +Y-axis direction). The side surface (521) of the overcoat layer (520) may be formed to protrude more than the first inclined side surface (613) of the partition wall (610) toward the side surface (411) of the front substrate (410). For example, the side surface (521) of the overcoat layer (520) may be formed to protrude by about 20 μm or less than the first inclined side surface (613) of the partition wall (610). The side surface (521) of the overcoat layer (520) may be formed to overlap with the organic resin layer (540).

[0076] The side surface (521) of the overcoat layer (520) formed of an organic insulating material (e.g., polymer) may be positioned closer to the inside of the color conversion panel than the side surface (411) of the front substrate (410). The side surface (521) of the overcoat layer (520) may be prevented from being used as a moisture permeation path. Even if the thin film encapsulation layer (510) is damaged at the edge of the front substrate (410) and moisture permeates through the damaged gap of the thin film encapsulation layer (510), external moisture or oxygen may be prevented from penetrating into the overcoat layer (520).

[0077] The thin film encapsulation layer (510) can be formed to cover the color control member (340) including the color conversion layer (331, 332) that is vulnerable to external moisture or oxygen. The thin film encapsulation layer (510) can block external moisture or oxygen from penetrating into the color control member (340) including the color conversion layer (331, 332).

[0078] According to one embodiment, the thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed to cover the color control member (340), the organic resin layer (540), and / or the side surfaces (411, 412, 413, 414) of the front substrate (410). The thin film encapsulation layer (510) may block moisture permeation paths through the color control member (340), the side surface (541) (or the first inclined surface) of the organic resin layer (540), the corner surface (601) (or the second inclined surface) of the front substrate (410), and the side surface (411) of the front substrate (410).

[0079] The organic resin layer (540) may be formed to cover the first inclined side surface (613) of the barrier rib (610) having a reverse tapered shape. The organic resin layer (540) may be formed by being applied to cover the corner portion (CP) formed by the first inclined side surface (613) of the barrier rib (610) surrounding the outermost sub-pixel (e.g., the sub-pixel (SP) of FIG. 2) and the other surface (e.g., the surface facing the -Z axis) of the overcoat layer (520). The thin film encapsulation layer (510) disposed on the organic resin layer (540) may be formed to have a uniform thickness over the entire area of ​​the thin film encapsulation layer (510). Since the thin film encapsulation layer (510) disposed on the organic resin layer (540) may be gently formed in an area corresponding to the corner portion (CP) and the corner surface (601), the thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed to have a uniform thickness without a break in an area corresponding to the corner portion (CP). By improving the step coverage of the thin film encapsulation layer (510) formed on the organic resin layer (540), moisture penetration into the thin film encapsulation layer (510) can be prevented.

[0080] Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a color conversion panel according to one embodiment. In Fig. 7, a color conversion panel applied to the electronic device described above is described as an example.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 7, a color conversion panel according to an embodiment (e.g., the color conversion panel (300) of FIG. 2 or / and the color conversion panel (500) of FIGS. 3, 4 and 5) may include a front substrate (410), a black matrix (302), a color filter (320), an overcoat layer (520), a partition wall (610), a color control member (340) (e.g., the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332) or / and the transparent layer (333) of FIG. 2), a first thin film encapsulation layer (710), a second thin film encapsulation layer (720) and an organic resin layer (540). At least a part of the configuration of the color conversion panel of FIG. 7 may apply to at least a part of the configuration of the color conversion panels of FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. For example, the black matrix (302), color filter (320), overcoat layer (520), partition wall (610), and color control member (340) of FIG. 7 may be applied to the descriptions of the black matrix (302), color filter (320), overcoat layer (520), partition wall (610), and color control member (340) of FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

[0082] The first thin film encapsulation layer (710) may be formed to be in contact with one surface (e.g., the surface facing the +Z axis) of the color control member (340). The first thin film encapsulation layer (710) may block external moisture or oxygen from penetrating into one surface of the color control member (340).

[0083] The second thin film encapsulation layer (720) may be formed to contact the other surface (e.g., the surface facing the -Z axis) of the color control member (340). The second thin film encapsulation layer (720) may block external moisture or oxygen from penetrating the other surface of the color control member (340).

[0084] The organic resin layer (540) may be formed between the first thin film encapsulation layer (710) and the second thin film encapsulation layer (720). The organic resin layer (540) may be formed by applying the organic resin layer (540) to cover a corner portion (CP) formed by a part of the first thin film encapsulation layer (710) on the first inclined side surface (613) of the partition wall (610) surrounding the outermost sub-pixel (e.g., the sub-pixel (SP) of FIG. 2) and a part of the first thin film encapsulation layer (710) on the other surface (e.g., the surface facing the -Z axis) of the overcoat layer (520).

[0085] The second thin film encapsulation layer (720) disposed on the organic resin layer (540) can be formed with a uniform thickness over the entire area of ​​the thin film encapsulation layer (510). Since the second thin film encapsulation layer (720) disposed on the organic resin layer (540) can be gently formed in an area corresponding to the corner portion (CP) and the corner surface (601), the second thin film encapsulation layer (720) can be formed with a uniform thickness without a break in an area corresponding to the corner portion (CP). By improving the step coverage of the second thin film encapsulation layer (720) formed on the organic resin layer (540), moisture penetration into the second thin film encapsulation layer (720) can be prevented.

[0086] According to one embodiment, at least one of the first thin film encapsulation layer (710) and the second thin film encapsulation layer (720) may be formed with at least one layer structure made of an inorganic insulating material. At least one of the first thin film encapsulation layer (710) and the second thin film encapsulation layer (720) may be formed with at least one layer structure including at least one of Al2O3, SiNx, SiOx, and SiON. The second thin film encapsulation layer (720) may be formed with a material having a denser texture than the first thin film encapsulation layer (710). For example, the second thin film encapsulation layer (720) may be formed of SiNx, and the first thin film encapsulation layer (710) may be formed of SiOx or / and SiON.

[0087] Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a color conversion panel according to one embodiment. In Fig. 8, a color conversion panel applied to the electronic device described above is described as an example.

[0088] Referring to FIG. 8, a color conversion panel according to an embodiment (e.g., the color conversion panel (300) of FIG. 2 or / and the color conversion panel (500) of FIGS. 3, 4 and 5) may include a front substrate (410), a black matrix (302), a color filter (320), an overcoat layer (520), a partition wall (610), a color control member (340) (e.g., the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332) or / and the transparent layer (333) of FIG. 2), a first thin film encapsulation layer (710), a second thin film encapsulation layer (720), an organic resin layer (540) and a transparent conductive layer (810). At least a portion of the configuration of the color conversion panel of FIG. 8 may be applied to at least a portion of the configuration of at least one of the color conversion panels of FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. For example, the black matrix (302), color filter (320), overcoat layer (520), partition wall (610), color control member (340), first thin film encapsulation layer (710), and second thin film encapsulation layer (720) of FIG. 8 may be applied to the description of the black matrix (302), color filter (320), overcoat layer (520), partition wall (610), color control member (340), first thin film encapsulation layer (710), and second thin film encapsulation layer (720) of FIG. 7.

[0089] A transparent conductive layer (810) may be disposed between the overcoat layer (520) and the front substrate (410). The transparent conductive layer (810) may be formed to cover the color filter (320) and the black matrix (302), which are each formed of an organic material vulnerable to moisture. The transparent conductive layer (810) may block external moisture or oxygen from penetrating into the color filter (320) and the black matrix (302). The transparent conductive layer (810) may be formed of an inorganic film that is resistant to moisture. For example, the transparent conductive layer (810) may be formed of the same inorganic insulating material as at least one of the first thin film encapsulation layer (710) and the second thin film encapsulation layer (720), or may be formed of an inorganic conductive layer. The inorganic conductive layer may be formed of a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO).

[0090] FIGS. 9A to 9D are cross-sectional views illustrating a method for manufacturing a color conversion panel according to one embodiment. The manufacturing method of FIGS. 9A to 9D will be described by way of example, where the organic resin layer is formed of a liquid-repellent material.

[0091] Referring to FIG. 9A, the front substrate (410) may include a first region (A1) and a second region (A2). The first region (A1) may be a region where sub-pixels are arranged. The second region (A2) may be an external region arranged outside the first region (A1). The second region (A2) may be a region that can be removed after a thin film encapsulation layer (e.g., the thin film encapsulation layer (510) of FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 or the second thin film encapsulation layer (720) of FIGS. 7 and 8) is formed on the first region (A1). A black matrix (302), a color filter (320), an overcoat layer (520), and a reverse tapered partition wall (610) may be sequentially formed on the first region (A1) of the front substrate (410).

[0092] Referring to FIG. 9B, an organic resin layer (940) may be formed on the front substrate (410) on which the partition wall (610) is formed. The organic resin layer (940) may be formed of a liquid-repellent material between the first region (A1) and the second region (A2). For example, the organic resin layer (940) may be formed by adding a fluorine-based hydrophobic material to an organic material. The organic resin layer (940) may be formed on the side surface of the partition wall (610), the overcoat layer (520), and a portion of the front substrate (410). For example, the organic resin layer (940) may be formed to cover the corner portion (CP) formed by the side surface of the partition wall (610) and the other surface of the overcoat layer (520). For example, the organic resin layer (940) can be formed on the other surface (612) of the corner portion (CP) and the partition wall (610) (e.g., the partition wall (610) of FIG. 6).

[0093] Referring to FIG. 9c, a color control member (340) including a first color conversion layer (331), a second color conversion layer (332), and a transparent layer (333) can be formed on a front substrate (410) on which an organic resin layer (940) is formed.

[0094] The inks forming each of the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332), and the transparent layer (333) can be formed not only in the first region (A1), but also in the second region (A2). Since the inks forming each of the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332), and the transparent layer (333) are applied from the second region (A2), the unevenness of the ink application amount of the outermost sub-pixel (SP) formed in the first region (A1) can be improved.

[0095] An organic resin layer (940) including a hydrophobic material based on fluorine can form a repulsive force with the ink forming each of the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332), and the transparent layer (333). The color control member (340) including the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332), and the transparent layer (333) formed in the first region (A1) by the organic resin layer (940) and the residual ink (950) formed in the second region (A2) can be separated.

[0096] Referring to FIG. 9d, a thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed on a front substrate (410) on which a first color conversion layer (331), a second color conversion layer (332), and a transparent layer (333) are formed. The thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed by applying at least one inorganic insulating film to the entire surface. After the thin film encapsulation layer (510) is formed, the second region (A2) may be separated and removed from the first region (A1) through a scribing process.

[0097] According to one embodiment, after the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332), and the transparent layer (333) are formed, the second region (A2) is cut out from the first region (A1) through a scribing process, and then a thin film encapsulation layer may be formed on the first region (A1). The thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be formed on the side surface of the front substrate (410) as well as the organic resin layer (940).

[0098] Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a method for manufacturing a color conversion panel according to one embodiment. In Figure 10, <1001> is a plan view showing the color conversion panel before the second area (A2) is removed, and the drawing <1002> is a plan view showing the color conversion panel after the second area (A2) has been removed, and the drawing <1003> Silver drawing <1002> This is a cross-sectional view showing the color conversion panel cut along the line "D1-D1'".

[0099] Referring to FIG. 10, the front substrate (410) may include a first region (A1) and a second region (A2). The first region (A1) may be a region where sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3) are arranged. The second region (A2) may be an external region arranged outside the first region (A1). In the second region (A2), a partition wall (610) may be arranged without separate sub-pixels. The second region (A2) may be a region that is removable after a thin film encapsulation layer (510) is formed in the first region (A1).

[0100] According to one embodiment, before the second region (A2) is removed from the first region (A1), a trench (1020) may be formed between the first region (A1) and the second region (A2). The trench (1020) may be formed to extend from one side to the other side of the front substrate (410) along the width direction of each sub-pixel (SP1, SP2, SP3). The trench (1020) may be formed one-to-many along a plurality of sub-pixels. The trench (1020) may be formed between a partition wall (610) formed in the first region (A1) and a partition wall (610) formed in the second region (A2).

[0101] After the second region (A2) is removed from the first region (A1), a trench (1020) can be formed to expose the first inclined side of the bulkhead (610).

[0102] According to one embodiment, the ink forming each of the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332), and the transparent layer (333) may be formed not only in the first region (A1), but also in the second region (A2). Since the residual ink formed in the second region (A2) is trapped in the trench (1020), the residual ink formed in the second region (A2) may not flow into the outermost sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3) of the first region (A1) by the trench (1020). The trench (1020) may block a portion of the residual ink formed in the second region (A2) from affecting the outermost sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3) of the first region (A1).

[0103] According to one embodiment, a black matrix (302), a color filter (320), an overcoat layer (520), a reverse taper-shaped partition wall (610), a color control member (340), and a thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be sequentially formed on a first area (A1) of a front substrate (410).

[0104] According to one embodiment, a black matrix (302), a color filter (320), an overcoat layer (520), a reverse tapered partition (610), a color control member (340), an organic resin layer (e.g., the organic resin layer (540) of FIGS. 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and the organic resin layer (940) of FIG. 9d) and a thin film encapsulation layer (510) may be sequentially formed on a first area (A1) of a front substrate (410). An organic resin layer (e.g., the organic resin layer (540) of FIGS. 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and the organic resin layer (940) of FIG. 9d) may be formed to cover a corner portion (e.g., the corner portion (CP) of FIGS. 4, 5, and 6) between the partition wall (610) and the overcoat layer (520) surrounding the outermost sub-pixel (SP) of the first region (A1).

[0105] According to one embodiment, the thin film encapsulation layer (510) can be formed on the inclined corner surface (601) of the front substrate (410) and the inclined side surface (521) of the overcoat layer (520).

[0106] Since the thin film encapsulation layer (510) can be gently formed in an area corresponding to a corner portion, a corner surface (601) of the front substrate (410), and an inclined side surface (521) of the overcoat layer (520), the thin film encapsulation layer (510) can be formed with a uniform thickness without a single line in the entire area. By improving the step coverage of the thin film encapsulation layer (510), moisture penetration into the thin film encapsulation layer (510) can be prevented.

[0107] Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a method for manufacturing a color conversion panel according to one embodiment. In Figure 11, the drawing <1101> is a plan view showing the color conversion panel before the second area (A2) is removed, and the drawing <1102> is a plan view showing the color conversion panel after the second area (A2) has been removed, and the drawing <1103> Silver drawing <1102> This is a cross-sectional view showing the color conversion panel cut along the line "D2-D2'".

[0108] At least a portion of the configuration of the color conversion panel of FIG. 11 may apply at least a portion of the configuration of at least one of the color conversion panels of FIG. 10. For example, the black matrix (302), the color filter (320), the overcoat layer (520), the partition wall (610), the color control member (340), and the thin film encapsulation layer (510) of FIG. 11 may apply the description of the black matrix (302), the color filter (320), the overcoat layer (520), the partition wall (610), the color control member (340), and the thin film encapsulation layer (510) of FIG. 10.

[0109] Referring to FIG. 11, the front substrate (410) may include a first region (A1) and a second region (A2). The first region (A1) may be a region where sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3) are arranged. The second region (A2) may be an external region arranged outside the first region (A1). In the second region (A2), a partition wall (610) may be arranged without separate sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3). The second region (A2) may be a region that is removable after a thin film encapsulation layer (510) is formed in the first region (A1).

[0110] A plurality of trenches (1120) may be formed between the first region (A1) and the second region (A2). The plurality of trenches (1120) may be arranged in a row along the width direction of each of the sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3). The plurality of trenches (1120) may correspond one-to-one to each of the plurality of sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3). Any one of the plurality of trenches (1120) may be formed along the width direction of the first color conversion layer (331) of the first sub-pixel (SP1). Any one of the plurality of trenches (1120) may be formed along the width direction of the second color conversion layer (332) of the second sub-pixel (SP2). Any one of the plurality of trenches (1120) may be formed along the width direction of the transparent layer (333) of the third sub-pixel (SP3). Each of the plurality of trenches (1120) can be formed between a partition wall (610) formed in the first region (A1) and a partition wall (610) formed in the second region (A2).

[0111] The ink forming each of the first color conversion layer (331), the second color conversion layer (332), and the transparent layer (333) may be formed not only in the first region (A1), but also in the second region (A2). Since the residual ink formed in the second region (A2) is trapped in the trench (1020), the residual ink formed in the second region (A2) may not flow into the outermost sub-pixels (SP1, SP2, SP3) of the first region (A1) by the trench (1020).
