Abstract

A display apparatus includes a substrate, a display arranged on the substrate and including a plurality of display elements, and an encapsulator arranged on the display and encapsulating the display. The encapsulator may include at least one inorganic film and at least one organic film, and the at least one organic film may include a matrix and an ultraviolet light absorbent dispersed in the matrix.

Claims (41)

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a substrate;

a display arranged on the substrate and including a plurality of display elements; and

an encapsulator arranged on the display and encapsulating the display, the encapsulator including at least one inorganic film and at least one organic film, and the at least one organic film including a matrix and an ultraviolet light absorbent dispersed in the matrix, wherein the at least one organic film exhibits a transmittance of 80% or higher with respect to light having a wavelength of 430 nm.

2. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet light absorbent is a compound that includes a hydroxyl group.

3. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet light absorbent includes one or more of a benzophenone compound, a benzotriazole compound, a benzoate compound, a cyanoacrylate compound, a triazine compound, an oxanilide compound, and a salicylate compound.

4. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one organic film includes a first organic film and a second organic film, and

the first organic film includes a first ultraviolet light absorbent and the second organic film includes a second ultraviolet light absorbent, a wavelength range of light absorbed by the first ultraviolet light absorbent being different from a wavelength range of light absorbed by the second ultraviolet light absorbent.

5. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one organic film exhibits a transmittance of less than or equal to 10% with respect to light having a wavelength of 405 nm.

6. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the encapsulator has a structure in which the at least one inorganic film and the at least one organic film are alternately stacked.

7. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display elements emit light at least in a direction toward the encapsulator.

8. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet light absorbent is cross-linked with the matrix.

9. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the ultraviolet light absorbent is a compound that includes at least one of an acrylate group, a methacrylate group, and an epoxy group.

10. A method of manufacturing a display apparatus, the method comprising:

forming a display including a plurality of display elements on a substrate; and

forming an encapsulator encapsulating the display on the substrate,

wherein the forming of the encapsulator includes forming at least one inorganic film and forming at least one organic film, and

the at least one organic film is formed to include a matrix and an ultraviolet light absorbent dispersed in the matrix, wherein the at least one organic film exhibits a transmittance of 80% or higher with respect to light having a wavelength of 430 nm.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the ultraviolet light absorbent includes one or more of a benzophenone compound, a benzotriazole compound, a benzoate compound, a cyanoacrylate compound, a triazine compound, an oxanilide compound, and a salicylate compound.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the forming of the at least one organic film includes forming a first organic film including a first ultraviolet light absorbent and forming a second organic film including a second ultraviolet light absorbent, a wavelength range of light absorbed by the first ultraviolet light absorbent being different from a wavelength range of light absorbed by the second ultraviolet light absorbent.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein, in the forming of the at least one organic film, an organic film forming layer including a mixture of a first monomer constituting the matrix and a second monomer including the ultraviolet light absorbent is formed on the substrate.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the organic film forming layer includes the first monomer and the second monomer cross-linked with each other.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the second monomer includes one or more of an acrylate group, a methacrylate group, and an epoxy group.

16. A display apparatus, comprising:

a substrate;

a display arranged on the substrate and including a plurality of display elements; and

an encapsulator arranged on the display and encapsulating the display, wherein:

the encapsulator includes at least one inorganic film and at least one organic film,

the at least one organic film includes a matrix and an ultraviolet light absorbent dispersed in the matrix, and

the at least one organic film exhibits a transmittance of less than or equal to 10% with respect to light having a wavelength of 405 nm.

17. A display apparatus, comprising:

a substrate;

a display part arranged on the substrate and including a plurality of display elements; and

an encapsulator covering a top and sides of the display part,

wherein the encapsulator includes a first inorganic film, an organic film, and a second inorganic film in a sandwich structure in which the organic film is interposed between the first and second inorganic films,

wherein the organic film directly contacts each of the first inorganic film and the second inorganic film,

wherein the organic film includes an organic matrix and an organic ultraviolet light absorbent dispersed in the matrix, the organic ultraviolet light absorbent being cross-linked with the matrix,

wherein the first inorganic film and the second inorganic film do not include an organic material.

18. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 17 , wherein an uppermost top film of the encapsulator comprise an inorganic material, and the uppermost top film of the encapsulator does not include the ultraviolet light absorbent.

19. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the ultraviolet light absorbent is a compound that includes a hydroxyl group and at least one of an acrylate group, a methacrylate group, and an epoxy group.
