Abstract

A display device is disclosed that includes a substrate including light emitting areas and a peripheral area surrounding the light emitting areas, a light emitting element layer disposed on the substrate and overlapping the light emitting areas, an encapsulation layer disposed on the light emitting element layer and a first pattern layer disposed on the encapsulation layer, and including first extension parts extending in a first direction and first connection parts connecting adjacent first extension parts among the first extension parts to each other.

Claims (31)

1 . A display device comprising:

a substrate including light emitting areas and a peripheral area surrounding the light emitting areas;

a light emitting element layer disposed on the substrate and overlapping the light emitting areas;

an encapsulation layer disposed on the light emitting element layer;

a first pattern layer disposed on the encapsulation layer, and including first extension parts extending in a first direction and first connection parts connecting adjacent first extension parts among the first extension parts to each other; and

a second pattern layer disposed on the encapsulation layer and adjacent to the first pattern layer,

wherein the second pattern layer includes second extension parts disposed between the first extension parts and extending in the first direction and second connection parts connecting adjacent second extension parts among the second extension parts to each other, and

wherein a height of each of the second extension parts is greater than a height of each of the first extension parts.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first connection parts are spaced apart from the light emitting areas in a plan view and disposed in the peripheral area.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first extension parts and the first connection parts are disposed on the same layer and integrally formed.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first connection parts extend in a second direction crossing the first direction.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein in a plan view, the first extension parts and the second extension parts are alternately disposed.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second extension parts and the second connection parts are disposed on the same layer and integrally formed.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second extension parts respectively cover the first connection parts and respectively overlap the first connection parts.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second connection parts are respectively disposed on the first extension parts and respectively overlap the first extension parts.

9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second connection parts are disposed in the peripheral area and extend in a second direction crossing the first direction.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first connection parts and the second connection parts overlap each other in the second direction.

11 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a light absorption film covering a side surface of each of the first extension parts and the second extension parts.

12 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein the light absorption film covers side surfaces of the first connection parts and the second connection parts.

13 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein the light absorption film includes molybdenum-tantalum oxide (MTO).

14 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first pattern layer is formed of at least one of an acrylic-based resin, a methacrylic-based resin, a polyisoprene-based resin, a vinyl-based resin, an epoxy-based resin, an urethane-based resin, a cellulose-based resin, a siloxane-based resin, a polyimide-based resin, a polyamide-based resin, or a perylene-based resin.

15 . A display device comprising:

a substrate including light emitting areas and a peripheral area surrounding the light emitting areas;

a light emitting element layer disposed on the substrate and overlapping the light emitting areas;

an encapsulation layer disposed on the light emitting element layer;

a first pattern layer disposed on the encapsulation layer, and including first extension parts extending in a first direction and first connection parts connecting adjacent first extension parts among the first extension parts to each other; and

a second pattern layer disposed on the encapsulation layer and adjacent to the first pattern layer,

wherein the second pattern layer includes second extension parts disposed between the first extension parts and extending in the first direction and second connection parts connecting adjacent second extension parts among the second extension parts to each other,

wherein the second connection parts are disposed in the peripheral area and extend in a second direction crossing the first direction, and

wherein the first connection parts and the second connection parts are alternately disposed along the second direction.
