Abstract

Separating partition walls, demarcating regions forming adjacently color conversion layers having different chromaticities that are stacked and arranged by an inkjet method, have at least one incision in tip faces of both length-direction end portions extended outside the screen region. A color conversion filter panel can be provided having separating partition wall structures which, when forming color conversion layers using an inkjet method, can prevent color mixing of inks between adjacent color conversion layers at length-direction end portions of the separating partition walls.

Claims (28)

1. A color conversion filter panel for configuring a color organic electroluminescent (EL) display in a screen region thereof, comprising:

a transparent substrate;

two adjacent color conversion layers, each for a different color and being in a stripe shape, formed on a portion of a surface of the transparent substrate; and

a separating partition wall of a stripe shape formed between the two color conversion layers and demarcating the two color conversion layers, both length-direction end portions of the separating partition wall extending to outside the screen region, each of the length-direction end portions having an incision formed on a tip face thereof, the tip face being perpendicular to the surface of the substrate, the incision being enlarged toward inside the screen region to thereby form a cavity.

2. The color conversion filter panel according to claim 1 , wherein the length-direction end portions of the separating partition wall each have a protruding portion formed thereon outside the screen region.

3. A color organic EL display, including an organic EL light-emitting panel, which emits light in a prescribed wavelength range, and the color conversion filter panel of claim 2 .

4. The color conversion filter panel according to claim 1 , wherein the two adjacent color conversion layers include a red color conversion layer and a green color conversion layer, the red color conversion layer converting light in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 600 nm into red light in a wavelength range of 600 nm or greater, and the green color conversion layer converting the light in the wavelength range of 400 nm to 600 nm into green light in a wavelength range of 500 nm to 600 nm.

5. A color organic EL display, including an organic EL light-emitting panel, which emits light in a prescribed wavelength range, and the color conversion filter panel of claim 4 .

6. The color conversion filter panel according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent substrate includes a black matrix, which is arranged in a matrix-like mesh shape or a stripe shape, and has an aperture portion with a dimension of one subpixel demarcating a color pattern, on a transparent supporting substrate.

7. The color conversion filter panel according to claim 6 , wherein the transparent substrate further includes two color filters each arranged in a stripe shape and in close contact with the transparent supporting substrate, and exposed by the aperture portion of the black matrix, the two color conversion layers each being arranged on top of one of the color filters of a corresponding chromaticity.

8. A color organic EL display, including an organic EL light-emitting panel, which emits light in a prescribed wavelength range, and the color conversion filter panel of claim 7 .

9. A color organic EL display, including an organic EL light-emitting panel, which emits light in a prescribed wavelength range, and the color conversion filter panel of claim 6 .

10. The color conversion filter panel according to claim 1 , wherein a protective layer is further provided on the color conversion layers.

11. A color organic EL display, including an organic EL light-emitting panel, which emits light in a prescribed wavelength range, and the color conversion filter panel of claim 10 .

12. A color organic EL display, including an organic EL light-emitting panel, which emits light in a prescribed wavelength range, and the color conversion filter panel of claim 1 .

13. A color conversion filter panel for configuring a color organic electroluminescent (EL) display in a screen region thereof, comprising:

a transparent substrate, including

a transparent supporting substrate;

a black matrix arranged on a surface of the transparent supporting substrate in a matrix-like mesh shape having an aperture with a dimension of one subpixel demarcating a color pattern, and

a plurality of color filters arranged in repeated stripe shapes of red color, green color and blue color, in close contact with the transparent supporting substrate and exposed by the aperture portion of the black matrix;

a plurality of separating partition walls, arranged on the black matrix between the color filters of the transparent substrate, both length-direction end portions of each separating partition wall extending to outside the screen region, each of the length-direction end portions having an incision formed on a tip face thereof, the tip face being perpendicular to the surface of the transparent supporting substrate, the incision being enlarged toward inside the screen region to thereby form a cavity; and

a plurality of red color conversion layers and green color conversion layers formed on top of the red color filters and the green color filters respectively.

14. A color organic EL display, including an organic EL light-emitting panel, which emits light in a prescribed wavelength range, and the color conversion filter panel of claim 13 .

15. A color conversion filter panel for configuring a color organic electroluminescent (EL) display in a screen region thereof, comprising:

a transparent substrate;

two adjacent color conversion layers, each for a different color and being in a stripe shape, formed on a portion of the transparent substrate; and

a separating partition wall of a stripe shape formed between the two color conversion layers and demarcating the two color conversion layers, both length-direction end portions of the separating partition wall extending to outside the screen region, and having an incision formed on a tip face thereof, the incision being enlarged toward inside the screen region to thereby form a cavity, a side wall on each of the length-direction end portions of the separating partition wall having a protrusion portion formed on an extension of a color conversion layer formation region, and a protrusion angle of the protrusion portion with respect to a line of the extension of the color conversion layer formation region being an angle that is greater than 0° and no greater than 30°,

wherein the color conversion filter panel further includes a transparent resin layer thereon.
