Abstract

A display device includes a substrate including an emission area and a non-emission area, a pixel circuit layer above the substrate, and including a transistor and a signal line in the non-emission area, and a color conversion pattern in the emission area, a light emitting element above the color conversion pattern, and electrically connected to the transistor, an insulating layer covering the light emitting element, and a pad above the insulating layer, and electrically connected to the signal line, wherein the color conversion pattern is configured to convert a wavelength band of light incident from the light emitting element.

Claims (45)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate comprising an emission area and a non-emission area;

a pixel circuit layer above the substrate, and comprising a transistor and a signal line in the non-emission area, and a color conversion pattern in the emission area;

a light emitting element above the color conversion pattern, and electrically connected to the transistor;

an insulating layer covering the light emitting element; and

a pad above the insulating layer, and electrically connected to the signal line,

wherein the color conversion pattern is configured to convert a wavelength band of light incident from the light emitting element.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the color conversion pattern is in an opening exposing the substrate while penetrating the pixel circuit layer is formed in the emission area.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the pixel circuit layer further comprises a color filter between the substrate and the color conversion pattern in the emission area.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the transistor and the signal line are separated from the emission area, and

wherein the light emitting element is configured to emit light through the color filter and the substrate in the emission area.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting element comprises a flip chip type micro light emitting diode.

6. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising sub-pixels comprising the light emitting element for emitting light of a first color, and configured to respectively express different single colors.

7. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising a first connection electrode above the light emitting element, and electrically connecting a first electrode of the light emitting element to the transistor.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the pixel circuit layer further comprises a light-blocking layer between the substrate and the transistor in the non-emission area.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the light-blocking layer is separated from the emission area in plan view.

10. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a fan-out line above the insulating layer, connected to the pad, and electrically connected to the signal line through a contact hole penetrating the insulating layer.

11. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising pixels comprising the light emitting element,

wherein a distance from an outermost one of the pixels to an edge of the substrate in plan view is shorter than a distance between adjacent ones of the pixels in plan view.

12. A display device comprising:

a substrate comprising an emission area and a non-emission area,
