Abstract

An electroluminescence display device includes: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other, a bank configured to define a plurality of emission areas on the first substrate, a light-emitting layer including: a first light-emitting layer in a first emission area among the plurality of emission areas, a second light-emitting layer in a second emission area among the plurality of emission areas, and a third light-emitting layer in a third emission area among the plurality of emission areas, a first dam at an outer portion of the bank, a second dam at an outer portion of the first dam, a dummy light-emitting layer between the first dam and the second dam, and a sealant overlapping the dummy light-emitting layer, the sealant being between the first dam and the second dam.

Claims (64)

1. An electroluminescence display device, comprising:

a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other;

a bank configured to define a plurality of emission areas on the first substrate;

a light-emitting layer comprising:

a first light-emitting layer including a first light-emitting material layer in a first emission area among the plurality of emission areas;

a second light-emitting layer including a second light-emitting material layer in a second emission area among the plurality of emission areas; and

a third light-emitting layer including a third light-emitting material layer in a third emission area among the plurality of emission areas;

a first dam at an outer portion of the bank;

a second dam at an outer portion of the first dam;

a dummy light-emitting layer between the first dam and the second dam, the dummy light-emitting layer including the first light-emitting material layer, the second light-emitting material layer, and the third light-emitting material layer; and

a sealant overlapping the dummy light-emitting layer, the sealant being between the first dam and the second dam,

wherein the first light-emitting material layer, the second light-emitting material layer, and the third light-emitting material layer are disposed between the first dam and the second dam.

2. The electroluminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first light-emitting layer comprises a red light-emitting material layer;

the second light-emitting layer comprises a green light-emitting material layer;

the third light-emitting layer comprises a blue light-emitting material layer; and

the dummy light-emitting layer comprises at least two of: the red light-emitting material layer, the green light-emitting material layer, and the blue light-emitting material layer.

3. The electroluminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first light-emitting layer comprises a red light-emitting material layer;

the second light-emitting layer comprises a green light-emitting material layer;

the third light-emitting layer comprises a blue light-emitting material layer; and

the dummy light-emitting layer comprises one of: the red light-emitting material layer, the green light-emitting material layer, and the blue light-emitting material layer.

4. The electroluminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first light-emitting layer, the second light-emitting layer, and the third light-emitting layer comprise an electron transporting layer; and

the electron transporting layer is not in the dummy light-emitting layer.

5. The electroluminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein a height of the dummy light-emitting layer is different from a height of the first light-emitting layer.

6. The electroluminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein the first dam is in contact with an outermost portion of the bank.

7. The electroluminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein:

a height of an upper end of the first light-emitting layer at a central portion of the emission area is lower than a height of an upper end of the first light-emitting layer at an end of the emission area;

the bank comprises a first bank and a second bank on the first bank; and

the second bank has a width narrower than a width of the first bank and has a thickness greater than a thickness of the first bank.

8. An electroluminescence display device, comprising:

a first substrate comprising:

an active area configured to display an image; and

a second substrate facing the first substrate;

a bank configured to define an emission area in the active area;

a plurality of light-emitting layers in the emission area;

a first dam and a second dam configured to define a dummy emission area, and surrounding the active area;

a dummy light-emitting layer including a plurality of light-emitting material layers in the dummy emission area; and

a sealant overlapping the dummy light-emitting layer, the sealant being between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the plurality of the light-emitting material layers are disposed between the first dam and the second dam.

9. The electroluminescence display device of claim 8 , wherein the dummy light-emitting layer surrounds the active area.

10. The electroluminescence display device of claim 8 , wherein the dummy light-emitting layer and the sealant are between the first dam and the second dam.

11. The electroluminescence display device of claim 8 , wherein:

the first dam contacts an outermost portion of the bank; and

the second dam is at an outer portion of the first dam.

12. The electroluminescence display device of claim 8 , wherein:

the plurality of the light-emitting layers comprises any one of: a red light-emitting material layer, a green light-emitting material layer, and a blue light-emitting material layer; and

the dummy light-emitting layer comprises one or more material layers among: the red light-emitting material layer, the green light-emitting material layer, and the blue light-emitting material layer.

13. The electroluminescence display device of claim 8 , wherein a height of the dummy light-emitting layer is different from a height of each of the plurality of the light-emitting layers.

14. An electroluminescence display device, comprising:

a first substrate and a second substrate comprising an active area displaying an image and a bonding area provided at an outer portion of the active area;

a light-emitting layer including any one of a first light-emitting material layer, a second light-emitting material layer, and a third light-emitting material layer in the active area;

a dummy light-emitting layer provided in the bonding area, the dummy light-emitting layer including the first light-emitting material layer, the second light-emitting material layer, and the third light-emitting material layer; and

a sealant overlapping the dummy light-emitting layer, the sealant being configured to bond the first substrate and the second substrate; and
