Abstract

A display device includes a lower panel including a base layer and a display element layer disposed on the base layer, and an upper panel including a light control layer, where the light control layer includes a partition pattern and a light control unit. The light control unit includes a first scatterer and a second scatterer, and a diameter of the first scatterer is different from a diameter of the second scatterer.

Claims (43)

1 . A display device comprising:

a lower panel comprising a base layer and a display element layer disposed on the base layer; and

an upper panel comprising a light control layer, wherein the light control layer comprises a partition pattern and a light control unit,

wherein

the light control unit comprises a first scatterer and a second scatterer, and

a diameter of the first scatterer is different from a diameter of the second scatterer; wherein the display element layer comprises a light-emitting element which emits blue light,

the light control unit comprises:

a first light control unit comprising a first quantum dot which converts the blue light into red light;

a second light control unit comprising a second quantum dot which converts the blue light into green light; and

a third light control unit which transmits the blue light, and

each of the first to third light control units comprises the first scatterer and the second scatterer; wherein each of the first light control unit, the second light control unit and the third light control unit is provided as a single layer, and

the first scatter and the second scatterer are co-located in each of the first light control unit, the second light control unit and the third light control unit.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the first scatterer is in a range of about 150 nm to about 250 nm.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the second scatterer is in a range of about 50 nm to about 150 nm.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein

each of the first scatterer and the second scatterer is provided in plurality, and

a number of the plurality of first scatterers is less than a number of the plurality of second scatterers.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first scatterer and the second scatterer independently comprises at least one selected from TiO 2 , ZnO, Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , and hollow silica.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first scatterer and the second scatterer includes a same material as each other.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the upper panel further comprises a color filter layer disposed on the light control layer.

8 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the color filter layer comprises:

a first filter which transmits the red light and is disposed on the first light control unit;

a second filter which transmits the green light and is disposed on the second light control unit; and

a third filter which transmits the blue light.

9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the display element layer comprises a pixel defining film, wherein a light-emitting opening is defined in the pixel defining film, and a light-emitting element comprising a first electrode having a top surface exposed through the light-emitting opening, a second electrode facing the first electrode, and a light-emitting layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and

the light-emitting opening overlaps the light control unit.

10 . A display device comprising:

a lower panel comprising a display element layer which emits a first light; and

an upper panel comprising a light control layer including a plurality of first scatterers and a plurality of second scatterers, wherein each of the plurality of first scatterers and the plurality of second scatterers scatters the first light,

wherein

an average diameter of the plurality of first scatterers is different from an average diameter of the plurality of second scatterers,

the average diameter of the plurality of first scatterers is in a range of about 150 nm to about 250 nm,

the average diameter of the plurality of second scatterers is in a range of about 50 nm to about 150 nm; wherein the display element layer comprises a light-emitting element which emits blue light,

a light control unit comprises:

a first light control unit comprising a first quantum dot which converts the blue light into red light;

a second light control unit comprising a second quantum dot which converts the blue light into green light; and

a third light control unit which transmits the blue light, and

each of the first to third light control units comprises the first scatterer and the second scatterer, wherein each of the first light control unit, the second light control unit and the third light control unit is provided as a single layer, and

the first scatter and the second scatterer are co-located in each of the first light control unit, the second light control unit and the third light control unit.

11 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of first scatterers and the plurality of second scatterers comprises an inorganic material.

12 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein the inorganic material comprises at least one selected from TiO 2 , ZnO, Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , and hollow silica.

13 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein a wavelength of the first light is in a range of about 410 nm to about 480 nm.
