Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a first substrate on which a plurality of light-emitting devices are arranged; a plurality of light controllers arranged above the first substrate and corresponding to the plurality of light-emitting devices; and a plurality of banks between the plurality of light controllers, wherein each bank of the plurality of banks includes a black pigment and a scattering agent. Because the display apparatus according to an embodiment includes a bank including a black pigment and a scattering agent, color mixing between pixels is prevented or reduced, and light efficiency is increased.

Claims (32)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a first substrate on which a plurality of light-emitting devices are arranged;

a plurality of light controllers arranged above the first substrate and corresponding to the plurality of light-emitting devices; and

a plurality of banks between the plurality of light controllers,

wherein each bank of the plurality of banks comprises a black pigment and a scattering agent, the black pigment and the scattering agent each being dispersed throughout each bank, and the scattering agent is 10 times or more in amount than the black pigment.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a second substrate facing the first substrate,

wherein the plurality of light controllers and the plurality of banks are between the first substrate and the second substrate.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein each bank has an upper portion facing in a direction toward the first substrate, or an upper portion facing in a direction toward the second substrate, and

the upper portion facing in the direction toward the first substrate, or the upper portion facing in the direction toward the second substrate, is hydrophobic.

4. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein, each bank has an upper portion facing in a direction toward the first substrate, or an upper portion facing in a direction toward the second substrate, and

in the upper portion facing in the direction toward the first substrate, or in the upper portion facing in the direction toward the second substrate, a cross-linked fluorine-containing polymer is lopsidedly arranged.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the fluorine-containing polymer comprises polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), perfluoropolyether (PFPE), or any combination thereof.

6. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein each bank has an upper portion facing in a direction toward the first substrate, or an upper portion facing in a direction toward the second substrate, and

a surface energy of the upper portion facing in the direction toward the first substrate, or a surface energy of the upper portion facing in the direction toward the second substrate, is 25 dyne/cm or less.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the black pigment in each bank is 0.25 wt % to 1.0 wt % in amount based on a total weight of the bank.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the scattering agent in each bank is 10 wt % or more in amount based on a total weight of the bank.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the black pigment comprises carbon black, graphite, an iron oxide, or any combination thereof.

10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the scattering agent comprises a metal oxide, a non-metal oxide, or any combination thereof.

11. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the scattering agent comprises SiO 2 , BaSO 4 , Al 2 O 3 , ZnO, ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , or any combination thereof.
