Abstract

A display device includes a plurality of color filters positioned in a plurality of color pixels, respectively, and representing different colors from each other, and an overcoat layer including a transparent organic material and a blue colorant and including a portion positioned on the plurality of color filters and a portion positioned in the white pixel.

Claims (56)

1. A display device, comprising:

a plurality of color filters positioned in a plurality of color pixels, respectively, and representing different colors from each other; and

an overcoat layer including a transparent organic material and a blue colorant, the overcoat layer including a portion positioned on the plurality of color filters and a portion positioned in a white pixel.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the plurality of color filters includes a red filter representing red, a green filter representing green, and a blue filter representing blue, and

an amount of the blue colorant included in the overcoat layer positioned in one of the white pixel is smaller than an amount of a blue colorant included in the blue filter positioned in one of the plurality of color pixels.

3. The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; and

a plurality of signal lines positioned on the first substrate,

wherein each of the plurality of color pixels and the white pixel includes at least one thin film transistor connected with the plurality of signal lines, and

the plurality of color filters and the overcoat layer are positioned on the second substrate.

4. The display device of claim 3 , further comprising:

a light blocking member which is positioned on the second substrate and in which a plurality of openings is defined,

wherein the plurality of color filters includes a portion positioned in the plurality of openings of the light blocking member, and

the overcoat layer includes a portion positioned in the white pixel and positioned in the plurality of openings of the light blocking member.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein:

a thickness of the overcoat layer positioned in the white pixel is larger than a thickness of the overcoat layer positioned in the plurality of color pixels.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein:

a height of an upper surface of the overcoat layer positioned in the white pixel is smaller than a height of the upper surface of the overcoat layer positioned in the plurality of color pixels.

7. The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a substrate and a plurality of signal lines positioned on the substrate,

wherein each of the plurality of color pixels and the white pixel includes at least one thin film transistor connected with the plurality of signal lines, and

the plurality of color filters and the overcoat layer are positioned on the at least one thin film transistor.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein:

a thickness of the overcoat layer positioned in the white pixel is larger than a thickness of the overcoat layer positioned in the plurality of color pixels.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein:

a height of an upper surface of the overcoat layer positioned in the white pixel is smaller than a height of the upper surface of the overcoat layer positioned in the plurality of color pixels.

10. The display device of claim 9 , further comprising:

a plurality of pixel electrodes positioned on the overcoat layer.

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

a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; and

a plurality of signal lines positioned on the first substrate,

wherein each of the plurality of color pixels and the white pixel includes at least one thin film transistor connected with the plurality of signal lines, and

the plurality of color filters and the overcoat layer are positioned on the second substrate.

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

a light blocking member which is positioned on the second substrate and in which a plurality of openings is defined,

wherein the plurality of color filters includes a portion positioned in the plurality of openings of the light blocking member, and

the overcoat layer includes a portion positioned in the white pixel and positioned in the plurality of openings of the light blocking member.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein:

a thickness of the overcoat layer positioned in the white pixel is larger than a thickness of the overcoat layer positioned in the plurality of color pixels.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein:

a height of an upper surface of the overcoat layer positioned in the white pixel is smaller than a height of the upper surface of the overcoat layer positioned in the plurality of color pixels.

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

a substrate and a plurality of signal lines positioned on the substrate,

wherein each of the plurality of color pixels and the white pixel includes at least one thin film transistor connected with the plurality of signal lines, and

the plurality of color filters and the overcoat layer are positioned on the thin film transistor.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein:

a thickness of the overcoat layer positioned in the white pixel is larger than a thickness of the overcoat layer positioned in the plurality of color pixels.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein:

a height of the upper surface of the overcoat layer positioned in the white pixel is smaller than a height of the upper surface of the overcoat layer positioned in the plurality of color pixels.

18. The display device of claim 17 , further comprising:

a plurality of pixel electrodes positioned on the overcoat layer.

19. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

a thickness of the overcoat layer positioned in the white pixel is larger than a thickness of the overcoat layer positioned in the plurality of color pixels.

20. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

a height of the upper surface of the overcoat layer positioned in the white pixel is smaller than a height of the upper surface of the overcoat layer positioned in the plurality of color pixels.
