Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of a display device includes a substrate, a transistor disposed on the substrate, a passivation layer which substantially covers the transistor, an organic layer disposed on the passivation layer which generates light to an outside, and a light efficiency improving layer including a first inorganic layer and a second inorganic layer which are sequentially disposed between the organic layer and the outside.

Claims (15)

1. A display device comprising:

a transistor disposed on a substrate;

a passivation layer which substantially covers the transistor;

a pixel electrode formed on the passivation layer;

a wall which divides the pixel electrodes;

an organic layer formed on the pixel electrode between the walls;

a common electrode which substantially covers the organic layer and the wall;

a light efficiency improving layer including a first inorganic layer and a second inorganic layer which are sequentially disposed on an upper surface of the common electrode between the walls; and

a color filter layer disposed on the light efficiency improving layer.

2. The display device according to claim 1 wherein the second inorganic layer has a higher refractivity than the first inorganic layer.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first inorganic layer and the second inorganic layer comprises multiple layers.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first inorganic layer and the second inorganic layer contact each other, and the first inorganic layer comprises silicon oxide and the second inorganic layer comprises silicon nitride.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the organic layer emits white light.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the color filter layer comprises a red color filter layer, a green color filter layer and a blue color filter layer, and at least one portion of the light efficiency improving layer comprises a plurality of sections corresponding to the red, green and blue organic light emitting layers, respectively, and at least one of the plurality of sections has a thickness which differs from the other sections.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the color filter layer comprises a red color filter layer, a green color filter layer and a blue color filter layer, and at least one portion of the light efficiency improving layer comprises a plurality of sections corresponding to the red, green and blue organic light emitting layers, respectively, and at least one of the plurality of sections covers a different sized area.
