Abstract

A display device includes a driving substrate, multiple light-emitting elements, first and second transparent substrates, multiple pixels, and a patterned light-absorbing layer. The light-emitting elements are disposed on the driving substrate and used to emit a light. The first transparent substrate is disposed over the driving substrate and the light-emitting elements and includes at least one groove. The pixels are disposed in the groove and include a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, and a third sub-pixel respectively aligned with one of the light-emitting elements. The second transparent substrate covers the first transparent substrate and the pixels. The patterned light-absorbing layer is disposed on the second transparent substrate and includes multiple first openings respectively aligned with the first, second, and third sub-pixels. The first, second, and third sub-pixels correspond to the light emitted by the light-emitting elements to respectively emit a red light, a green light, and a blue light.

Claims (23)

1. A display device, comprising:

a driving substrate;

multiple light-emitting elements disposed on the driving substrate, wherein the light-emitting elements are configured to emit a light, wherein the light is a blue light or an ultraviolet light;

a first transparent substrate disposed over the driving substrate and the light-emitting elements, wherein the first transparent substrate comprises at least one groove;

multiple pixels disposed in the groove, wherein the pixels comprise a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, and a third sub-pixel, and the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel are respectively aligned with one of the light-emitting elements;

a second transparent substrate which covers the first transparent substrate and the pixels; and

a patterned light-absorbing layer disposed on the second transparent substrate, wherein the patterned light-absorbing layer comprises multiple first openings to expose multiple light-transmissive regions on the second transparent substrate, the first openings are respectively aligned with the first, second, and third sub-pixels, wherein the first, second, and third sub-pixels correspond to the light emitted by the light-emitting elements to respectively generate a red light, a green light, and a blue light, and the red, the green and the blue lights emit through the respective light-transmissive regions.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel is a green sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel is a blue sub-pixel.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the red sub-pixel comprises a red light conversion layer configured to convert the blue light or the ultraviolet light into the red light, the green sub-pixel comprises a green light conversion layer configured to convert the blue light or the ultraviolet light into the green light, wherein the red light conversion layer comprises a red wavelength converting substance, and the green light converting layer comprises a green wavelength converting substance.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the red wavelength converting substance and the green wavelength converting substance comprise phosphor or quantum dots or a combination thereof.

5. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the blue sub-pixel is a transparent layer configured to allow the blue light to penetrate, or the blue sub-pixel comprises a blue light conversion layer configured to convert the blue light or the ultraviolet light into the blue light, wherein the blue light conversion layer comprises a blue wavelength converting substance.

6. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the pixels further comprise a yellow sub-pixel, wherein the yellow sub-pixel comprises at least one yellow light conversion layer configured to convert the blue light or the ultraviolet light into a yellow light, and the yellow light conversion layer comprises a yellow wavelength converting substance.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the yellow wavelength converting substance comprises phosphor or quantum dots or a combination thereof.

8. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the pixels further comprise a white sub-pixel, wherein the white sub-pixel comprises at least one white light conversion layer configured to convert the blue light or the ultraviolet light into a white light, and the white light conversion layer comprises a red wavelength converting substance, a green wavelength converting substance and a blue wavelength converting substance.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the red, the green, and the blue wavelength converting substances comprise phosphor or quantum dots or a combination thereof.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one groove of the first transparent substrate is multiple grooves, and each pixel is located in a corresponding one of the grooves.

11. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a patterned reflecting layer located in the groove, wherein the patterned reflecting layer comprises multiple second openings corresponding to the first openings, and each of the pixels is disposed in a corresponding one of the second openings.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the patterned reflecting layer comprises a white resin.

13. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a bonding layer sandwiched between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate, and the bonding layer surrounds the groove.

14. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the groove has a depth of 10 to 110 micrometers.

15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first transparent substrate has a thickness of 500 to 1,100 micrometers.

16. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting elements comprise a plurality of light-emitting diode chips, a plurality of micro light-emitting diode chips or a plurality of light-emitting diode packages.

17. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the patterned light-absorbing layer is a black matrix.
