Abstract

A display device includes a first substrate, a coloring layer formed on the first substrate, a transparent insulating layer having a first refractive index formed on the coloring layer, a first transparent electrode having a higher second refractive index than the first refractive index formed on the transparent insulating layer, an organic layer having a light emitting layer formed on the first transparent electrode, and a second transparent electrode formed on the organic layer.

Claims (31)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate;

a coloring layer formed on the first substrate;

a transparent insulating layer having a first refractive index formed on the coloring layer;

a first transparent electrode having a second refractive index higher than the first refractive index formed on the transparent insulating layer;

an organic layer having a light emitting layer formed on the first transparent electrode; and

a second transparent electrode formed on the organic layer,

wherein

the coloring layer includes a black carbon pigment,

an upper surface of the coloring layer is in contact with the transparent insulating layer,

an upper surface of the transparent insulating layer is in contact with the first transparent electrode, and

each of the coloring layer and the transparent insulating layer includes an epoxy material or an acrylic resin.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix shape and each including the coloring layer, the transparent insulating layer, the first transparent electrode, the organic layer, and the second transparent electrode on the first substrate,

wherein each of the plurality of pixels further includes a light emitting element overlapping the first transparent electrode in a region being in contact with the organic layer in a planar view and including the first transparent electrode, the organic layer, and the second transparent electrode, and

a thin film transistor is arranged between the coloring layer and the first substrate to overlap the light emitting element in the planar view.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a moisture prevention structure provided to surround the plurality of pixels, in which the second transparent electrode and an inorganic layer having the thin film transistor formed therein contact each other and the coloring layer and the transparent insulating layer do not exist,

a conductive layer provided along the moisture prevention structure, connected to the second transparent electrode, and provided on the coloring layer, and

a black matrix covering at least the moisture prevention structure and the conductive layer.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

an insulating bank is arranged between the organic layer and the first transparent electrode to cover an end of the first transparent electrode,

the insulating bank has a refractive index lower than that of the first transparent electrode,

a black matrix is arranged in a region overlapping the insulating bank in a planar view, and

the insulating bank has an inclined plane and a flat portion, and is at a position where an intersection between the inclined plane and the flat portion and an end of the black matrix overlap each other in the planar view.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a first insulating bank is arranged between the organic layer and the first transparent electrode to cover an end of the first transparent electrode,

the first insulating bank has a refractive index lower than that of the first transparent electrode,

a reflection film formed of a metal is provided inside the first insulating bank,

a second insulating bank is provided inside the reflection film,

a black matrix is arranged in a region overlapping the reflection film in a planar view, and

the reflection film has an inclined plane and a flat portion, and is at a position where an intersection between the inclined plane and the flat portion and an end of the black matrix overlap each other in the planar view.
