Display device
A display device includes a display part, and an outer part on the display part. The outer part includes a first layer and a second layer forming an interface with the first layer. A refractive index of the first layer is lower than a refractive index of the second layer such that light is totally reflected at the interface.
1 . A display device comprising:
a display part;
an outer part on the display part,
wherein the outer part includes a first layer and a second layer forming an interface with the first layer, and
wherein a refractive index of the first layer is lower than a refractive index of the second layer; and
wherein the first layer includes a light absorbing material and a low refractive material.
2 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a sensing part between the display part and the outer part, the sensing part including conductive patterns,
wherein the conductive patterns form sensing electrodes configured to sense a user input, and
wherein the first layer overlaps with the conductive patterns in a plan view.
3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the display part includes organic light emitting elements and a thin film encapsulation layer on the organic light emitting elements, and
wherein the sensing part is on the thin film encapsulation layer.
4 . The display device of claim 3 , further comprising a low reflection inorganic layer between the organic light emitting elements and the thin film encapsulation layer.
5 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising sub-pixels forming sub-pixel areas while each is configured to emit light of one color,
wherein, in a plan view, the first layer overlaps with an area between the sub-pixel areas.
6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the low refractive material includes a monomer including a fluorine-based functional group.
7 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein the monomer includes at least one selected from the group consisting of 3-(perfluorohexyl) propyl epoxide, octafluoropentyl methacrylate, and heptadecafluorodecyl methacrylate.
8 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein the monomer is included by 5 wt % to 20 wt % with respect to a solid content of a material forming the first layer.
9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the low refractive material includes nano particles including hollow particles.
10 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second layer is a reflection control layer including a dye, a pigment, or a combination thereof.
11 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second layer is a color filter configured to allow light of one color to be selectively transmitted therethrough.
12 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising sub-pixels forming sub-pixel areas while each is configured to emit light of one color,
wherein, in the display part, the sub-pixels include light emitting elements are configured to emit light of different colors.
13 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising sub-pixels forming sub-pixel areas while each is configured to emit light of one color,
wherein, in the display part, the sub-pixels include light emitting elements are configured to emit light of a same color.
14 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display part includes a display base layer, and
wherein a side surface of the first layer is formed inclined to form an angle with respect to the display base layer.
